Chapter 40: The Battle of Kaiyang
Gao Shun stood at the head of Kaiyang City and tightened the sword in his hand.
Under the city, the besiegers surged up like water, and the shouts of killing swept into the sky. At this time, Kaiyang City is like a flat boat in the wild waves, allowing the wind and waves to be turbulent. The ladder was full of people, too many to count, and one was killed and one was left behind, and this side was toppled down, and there was the other side. The crashing car smashed the city gate and shook the ground, as if even the entire Kaiyang City was going to be knocked over by it. The wells pushed up on the opposite side, row by row, the archers inside kept firing arrows at the head of Kaiyang City, trying to suppress the firepower of Kaiyang City and cover the operation of the siege troops.
The cry of killing, in the ears; Dead man, at the feet.
Gao Shun held his sword tightly and did not move. Behind him, Wu Dun rushed forward and roared at Gao Shun: "General Gao, this time the thieves dispatched so many soldiers and horses, it seems that they want to take me Kaiyang in one go." Damn, he can't really send reinforcements from the rear, right? ”
"Third brother, can't you see it, look at his posture, this centaur, can he not be transferred from the rear? He's been immersed in it for so long, and he's ready to fight today! Gao Shun hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Sun Guan flashed out from behind, pulled a bow, released an arrow, and took Wu Dun's sentence. When Wu Dun heard this, he snorted: "He wants to take me to open the sun to see if he has this life!" "Pick up a knife and chop one person.
Gao Shun couldn't see where he had come to Kaiyang, and the thieves had rarely taken the initiative to attack, and now, after dozens of days of 'truce', he suddenly launched such a large-scale attack, obviously he was prepared, and he sent men and horses to help in the war. It seems that Zang Ba's guess is not wrong, the thieves don't fight these days, they just wait for reinforcements to come, and they are ready to take Kaiyang City in one go. However, since he has already divided labor with Zang Ba, Zang Ba will go to Xiapi to persuade Que Xuan to raise righteousness, and Kaiyang's defense will be in charge of him, so he must not lose his trust. Even if he dies, he will survive with Kaiyang City!
"The thieves are in town! The thieves are killing the city! ”
Finally, after the archers defending the city wall were suppressed by the opponent's firepower, the thieves who tried to climb the city wall on the ladder had a chance to breathe, so they frantically climbed up the battlements from the ladder, jumped off the city wall, and killed themselves into the crowd. Once a gap is opened, the people and horses behind it are like ants, constantly climbing up from the gap and launching a vicious attack. But in an instant, more than a dozen thieves climbed up to the city and slaughtered into the crowd.
This is like a spark that cannot be extinguished in time, and it will burn the prairie at any time.
Gao Shun, frowning, snorting, snatched a spear, and without saying a word, immediately looked over there and killed the past. Wu Dun and Sun Guan hadn't reacted yet, but when they saw it clearly, their hearts were also shocked. The two of them scolded, the guy, didn't say a word, followed Gao Shun, and pounced towards the gap. Don't look at the thieves who only rushed up to a dozen people, but after they landed at the foot of the wall, they immediately put on an arc-shaped defensive formation, and a few of them worked the periphery, holding on for several rounds, no matter how the crowd killed them, they just didn't retreat. And just in between these few rounds, it was enough to buy more time for the soldiers on the ladder, so that they could calmly climb the wall and have more fresh troops. In this way, there are more people, the formation is constantly consolidated, and it is more and more stable, and it is even more difficult for the defenders to kill them.
"Ah, our men and horses are killed, killed!"
The cheers on both sides, to Tao Qian and Liu Bei, were definitely a stimulant. Tao Qian chewed his beard excitedly and said to Liu Bei: "Xuande, look, our men and horses have already climbed the enemy tower, and our men and horses have already climbed the enemy tower!" Haha, this battle will definitely be able to succeed and level Kaiyang City in one fell swoop! He shouted excitedly to both sides, "Sons, let me go into the city, and capture Zang Ba or his head alive, there will be a heavy reward!" ”
The sons and daughters behind him were all excited, and they suddenly agreed, raising their weapons and rushing towards the head of Kaiyang City.
Even Liu Bei at this time was dizzy, in his opinion, the situation is very good now, as long as the soldiers who climb the city can hold on for a moment or two, victory is just around the corner. He pulled out the double-strand sword at his waist and said to Tao Qian: "Tao Envoy, I, Liu Bei, am willing to step forward to supervise the battle, in order to make you break through the thief city, I took the thief with my own hands!" Tao Qian laughed and nodded again and again: "If you can get the power of Xuande, it will not be difficult to break Kaiyang City!" Liu Bei didn't say anything more, and immediately called the two younger brothers around him to go forward with him.
However, far from the city, Liu Bei stopped and dismounted and did not continue to move forward.
"Why doesn't Big Brother leave?" Zhang Fei stared at two bronze bell-sized eyes and looked at Liu Bei in puzzlement. Liu Bei brushed his beard and said: "The gentleman doesn't set up a dangerous hall, it's enough to get here, why go further?" If we can break the city, we will rush forward, if we can't break it, I won't be too late to retreat, do I still have to step forward and send my life to the thief? Zhang Fei was stunned, glanced at Guan Yu, and saw that Guan Yu didn't say anything, he said impatiently: "The eldest brother and the second brother can hold this temperament, and they can still sit still at this time, but I can't sit still anymore, I want to step forward!" "I don't care about Liu Bei and the two, just look forward and pull the horse away.
"Third brother!" Guan Yu screamed and didn't call Zhang Fei back, but looked at Liu Bei. Liu Bei stroked his beard and said, "Forget it, don't you know who the third brother is, where is he who is willing to live after the people, let him go, don't pay attention to it." As soon as he heard Liu Bei say, Guan Yu stopped talking and helped Liu Bei supervise the battle in front.
Zhang Fei's target was directly set on one of the cloud ladders under Kaiyang City. This ladder was already full of people, and many of them climbed up the enemy tower through this ladder and killed them. In the same way, in his opinion, as long as he can climb up through this ladder, then there is a chance to fight the enemy directly. After he killed, he could immediately kill the thieves, run down the city to open the city gate, and let the people from outside the city enter the city, then he could be regarded as a great achievement. Thinking so, he didn't hesitate at all, and killed him directly.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”
Zhang Feicai didn't care about the flying arrows above his head, and immediately rushed through the crowd and went directly to the bottom of the ladder. There are already a lot of people gathered under the ladder, and they are all waiting to kill them through this ladder to the city. However, there are too many people, and there is only one cloud ladder mouth, so many people go to push and drag at the same time, but the efficiency is reduced, and there are fewer people going up. Zhang Fei blasted away from everyone and directly grabbed the cloud ladder and stepped on. Someone kept falling from the top of his head, and he ignored it and climbed half the way in one go.
However, when he was about to continue to step forward, he suddenly felt his body move, as if he had been pushed off the wall, and he felt like he was leaning back. Of course it's not him moving, it's the ladder that's moving. He tilted his head and stared at Brass Bell's big eyes, and this was what happened. It turned out that several people in the city were using hooks to overturn and knock him down along with the ladder with all their strength. Someone has already been lifted off by this thrust, looking at the city like a piece of paper.
"Damn!" Zhang Fei originally thought that the vanguard of killing Shangcheng would be able to support a little more, waiting for him to kill Shangcheng from here, but now it seems that because of a delay, he was made unable to go up and down, and if he was thrown down from a cloud ladder several zhang high, the dense swords and halberds below would be seriously injured if he did not die. Zhang Feiya's mother screamed, and without waiting for the ladder to leave the wall completely, she immediately screamed, and at the same time, as soon as the spear in her hand was sent, she directly poured a lot of strength into it and inserted the spear into the wall.
"Smack!" With a crisp sound, a spark slammed into the wall, and the tip of the spear blade was directly inserted into the crack of the wall for several inches, firmly nailed. Zhang Fei relied on this spear, relying on it, and smashed his own strength into the wall. With a bang, his force also immediately played a role, and the force above that was pushed out not only instantly neutralized, but even overwhelmed the opponent's force, directly hitting his own force against the wall. In an instant, the ladder leaned in, and it looked like it was about to return to the wall.
In the blink of an eye, it was like a moment of life and death, and the people watching below turned pale with fright. Originally, seeing that the ladder was about to be pushed down from above, they didn't want to climb up from here, but they didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the situation changed, and the ladder would lean against the wall again. When they saw this scene, they were also a little relieved, thinking that this was good, and they were going to applaud loudly.
However, seeing that the ladder was going back and was about to be attached to the wall, it changed at this time.
The cloud ladder was like a flutter, and at this moment, it was once again sent out by a strong force and swung outward. This time, the sending force was even stronger and faster than just now, and even Zhang Fei didn't have time to react, so he leaned back. And he, at this moment, instinctively wanted to use the power of the spear inserted in the wall to pull his body back, but he didn't want to, he didn't use his strength well, but pulled out the spear. There was no strength to borrow, he couldn't help himself, and he was directly swept away by this force, and he was shaky.
The soldier who was still on the ladder and escaped a catastrophe thought he had escaped death. However, in the face of the sudden arrival of the Second Tribulation, they were no longer so lucky. Soon, many people screamed and fell from the ladder and from mid-air. The body is like a fluttering grass, rootless grass, what can you think about? Die, that's all!
"Damn it!"
Zhang Fei, who was also on the ladder, was sent by this force, and his whole nerves tensed, and sweat broke out on his forehead. But he still has a reaction. When the spear was pulled off the wall by him, and his body was powerless to borrow, his anger and his survival ** sent his whole person to the peak. At that moment, he roared like thunder, and the spear in his hand was sent to the wall again. If the first time he gave five points, this time he ...... He is very powerful, without reservation.
Ten points of force were poured into the spear, and in an instant, the spear was like thunder, directly hitting the wall.
"Boom!" Sparks flew on the wall, rammed earth flew wildly, and spears went straight into the wall for three points. When this force was sent out and the spear entered the wall, Zhang Fei with a thunderous roar, with an irresistible momentum, directly pushed the thrust above and sent the ladder back again. This time, the iron hook at the end of the ladder was directly hooked on the battlements, firmly clamped, and completely stabilized the bodies of Zhang Fei and the others. And those soldiers who tried to push the ladder away with a hook, they were shocked by Zhang Fei's strong force just now, and they were all blasted away by it and scattered around.
Gao Shun at the head of the city had just killed a person, and when he suddenly saw this change, he was also shocked. He stepped forward here, grabbed a thick knife, rushed directly to the battlements, and took a look at the situation under the city. On the top of the ladder, it was played with twice in succession just now, and there were few people on it. But there is one of them, but it is shocking in Gao Shun's eyes. It's impossible for this person Gao Shun not to recognize, he has fought with him several times in Qingzhou before, which one is it not Zhang Fei?
At this time, Zhang Fei was domineering, pulling out a spear with one hand and grasping the ladder with the other, not daring to delay for a moment to climb up. Before he could climb two steps, his heart was throbbing, as if he sensed that someone in the city was thinking about him, he immediately raised his head and glared at him fiercely with a pair of big eyes. "Roar!" A scream came out of Zhang Fei's mouth at the same time. Gao Shun, at the moment when he met Zhang Fei's eyes, showed a strange smile on his face: "Since you want to die, I'll give you a ride!" ”
He raised the thick knife in his hand and looked at the slashing on the ladder. It's a pity that the front end of the ladder is wrapped in iron sheets, and if it is so easy to cut off where it is, Gao Shun is also negligent. He immediately threw away his knife and turned around and shouted, "Stone!" Immediately, some soldiers moved boulders ranging from more than a dozen catties to dozens of catties, and all of them were sent to Gao Shun's feet.
The moment Gao Shun poked his head out, Zhang Fei knew that he had to climb up to the city immediately, otherwise he would die. Without saying a word, he unleashed all his strength, and climbed vigorously to keep approaching the battlements. However, before he could get closer, his heart fluttered, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw a large rock falling on his head. "Whew!" With the sound of the wind, the boulder slammed in. Seeing that he was about to be smashed, Zhang Fei snorted, threw his body down, walked diagonally, and directly let him go. Although Dashi missed, he only had one hand to grasp the ladder just now, his body was tilting, his weight was all shifted to the side, and the ladder also slid to the side.
Fortunately, there is an iron hook at the end of the ladder, and although the hook has moved a few inches, it has been stabilized when it is moved to the battlement wall. Although Zhang Fei was shocked, he didn't have time to think about these at this time, and at this moment, another big stone fell with a bang. The boulder was fast and urgent, almost chasing the boulder from before. Looking at the trajectory of the boulder, it seems that Zhang Fei may have been premeditated for a long time to give way to the side, in the direction that the boulder smashed, and it is also the direction in which he is chasing him to avoid.
At this time, Zhang Fei had already hung his body diagonally to one side, and if he wanted to avoid this boulder, he had to return to the cloud ladder first, and then dodge to the other side. However, at this time, Zhang Fei could not have the time to prepare, seeing that the boulder was smashed, he did not dare to hesitate for a moment, and immediately let go of his hand. His hand loosened, and his body fell rapidly. Of course, when he fell, the boulder was also falling, if it went on like this, not to mention whether he would eventually fall to his death, anyway, sooner or later he would be smashed by the boulder, and it was not a way to avoid the boulder. And if you want to dodge this boulder, you must shift your shape and move away.
Being in the middle of a fall, it would be delusional to move his body to try to dodge, and Zhang Fei didn't expect to do so. When he lets go, it doesn't mean that he has given up, but that he ...... In order to better grasp and grasp. At the moment when Dashi was about to chase after him, one of his hands stretched out again, firmly grasped the ladder again, and then quickly swung his body and hooked it on the ladder. And the chasing boulder, at this moment, did not hit Zhang Fei, but passed by him and bombarded it directly. There was a scream from below, hitting the others.
Zhang Fei took a heavy breath, thrust his spear into the wall, turned around, and returned to the front of the ladder. However, in such a group of efforts, because of the re-stabilization of the ladder, the soldiers below climbed the ladder again, and kept climbing up, and one of them had already overtaken Zhang Fei and climbed up. It's just that this soldier is also unlucky, he thought that he could completely ignore the opponent's falling rocks with the shield in his hand, but he didn't want to resist two blows, and his arm shook heavily, and he really couldn't withstand the attack of falling rocks, and was directly knocked down. At this moment, Zhang Fei was too late to save people, but at the last moment, he snatched the shield that was about to fall from his hand.
The moment the shield arrived, Zhang Fei's eyes lit up, knowing that there was nothing to resist him anymore. Dashi, not either!
Just when he was proud, two more boulders came down from it, one was picked open by his spear, and the other was blocked by his shield and directly blasted away. Seeing that Dashi could no longer easily hurt himself, Zhang Fei was full of strength and roared at the people below: "Kill with me!" He took his head, and all the soldiers behind him worked together to climb the ladder and look at the city. At this time, Gao Shun, who was at the head of the city, saw that Dashi could no longer stop the opponent's progress, and immediately changed his defensive strategy.
"Bring the golden juice, please!"
The golden juice that is said to be good is nothing more than a soup made by boiling the dung of people and animals. This kind of soup is spilled on people, and it is easy to get infected after burning, and with the medical level at that time, this infection is difficult to cure, and the result is mostly amputation or death. This lethal 'weapon' has been used, and there is really no way, there are too many thieves, and the equipment for defending the city in his city is limited, and at this time, he will not let go of what can be used. What's more, the person who is poured by this 'golden juice', even if he is not burned, is still a stench, and at the same time it is a frustration of the enemy's sharpness, and it is a magic weapon for both killing and injury.
The boiling 'golden juice' poured down, and the sound of miserable screams and howls was endless. On the top of the ladder, if there is no prevention, and the 'golden juice' is splashed, it is planted one by one, and there is no discussion at all.
"What the hell is this, wow, it stinks!"
Zhang Fei was really speechless, it was okay to let him kill the enemy bravely, but if he faced this 'golden juice' and entered the enemy city, it was better to kill him now! Fortunately, the shield above his head was rectangular, and it was enough to cover him alone, otherwise the 'golden juice' would come down, and he would be the first to be scalded by the hot golden juice. But Rao was like this, and there was still a lot of spilled on his clothes in those sparse soups, which made his body smell bad. The point is that the gold juice is splashed everywhere, and he can't prevent it everywhere, and if he misses it, he will be stained with the hot 'gold juice' on his clothes, and even on the skin inside, like a needle prick, making him feel uncomfortable.
Zhang Fei wanted to step forward, but he was afraid of being scalded by this 'golden juice', and then the thief was not killed, but died so badly, it would not be cost-effective. But if you want to return, how to return? He bore the brunt of the attack, and there were countless men and horses behind him, and they were still rushing in, unless he killed him, or died in battle, there was no way back. Of course, there is another way, that is, as soon as you close your eyes and loosen your hands, you can jump directly from mid-air.
In doing so, he may be able to escape the hot 'golden juice' on top of his head, and at the same time, he will have to be smashed into a meatloaf. The left is also dead, and the right is also dead, Zhang Fei gritted his teeth, his grandmother's, kill it! However, where is there a place on the ladder that has been drenched with feces that is not 'golden juice'? It's all golden, and my hands are disgusting and want to vomit, how can I fight? Zhang Fei can't say anything about his suffering at the moment, and he has reached the point where he can't go up or down now, but he hopes that his eldest brother can stop him and prevent him from killing. However, what else can I do when it is too late!
"Grandma's bear!" Zhang Fei screamed, as if he had let everything out, closed his eyes, and no matter how much feces were monstrous on his head, he still rushed forward: "Die!" Die! Die! ”
"Awesome, great!"
"Ah, it's an order to withdraw troops, we can withdraw!"
The moment they heard the sound of gold, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and if they continued to attack, they would not be scalded to death by the hot gold juice, but would have to be stinky...... Fortunately, God is pitiful, and when they complained, they finally heard the order to retreat, which was just in time. At this time, they did not hesitate any longer, and immediately retreated. It's Zhang Fei, and that's also a straightforward retreat: "His grandmother's, I, Zhang Fei, was going to level you Kaiyang City in one fell swoop, but it seems that now I can only leave you in one breath and come back to clean you up later!" ”
secretly exclaimed a fluke and hurriedly withdrew.
"The eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother are about to set foot in Kaiyang City, why do you suddenly want to withdraw your troops, let me work in vain."
Zhang Fei walked up with a stench, and almost didn't smoke Liu Bei and Guan Yu. Liu Bei pulled the horse and walked two steps backwards, pinched his nose and said: "Besides, the thieves have killed the soldiers who rushed up, only the third brother, you are still rushing up like a stunned head, you don't want to live, I still want your third brother!" If you continue to fight like this, what else does the third brother think you can pick up? If I don't let people sing gold in time, I'm afraid that the third brother, you will be killed by thieves at this time! ”
Zhang Fei touched his head and smiled: "This...... What the eldest brother said is true, I am not afraid of Zhang Fei's death, but ......" frowned, thinking that he stinks. Guan Yu reminded him on the side: "Ahem, third brother, there is a stream over there, if you don't mind......"
"The second brother said earlier, my old Zhang ...... "Regardless of anything else, just pull the horse and leave." Liu Bei glanced at Guan Yu and said, "Second brother, speaking of which, this time I am going to break through the thief city, if it weren't for the third brother, I wouldn't let Mingjin withdraw his troops." It's just that when I do this, I'm afraid that Tao Gongzu still doesn't know what's going on, and he is confused there, so we still rush over to explain it to him. ”
"Well, big brother is right!" Guan Yu nodded, and Liu Bei and Liu Bei immediately pulled their horses and rushed to Tao Qian's side.
Kaiyang City ......
"The thieves withdrew, the thieves withdrew!"
"The thieves withdrew, the thieves withdrew!"
Liu Bei's words are actually not unreasonable, Gao Shun, who wants to defend the city, even uses nuclear weapons such as 'golden juice', which shows the extent of the war. Speaking of which, the other party's attack this time was too fierce and swift, and they couldn't easily deal with it. Even if they were defending with all their strength at that time, in the end, the other party found a breakthrough from the ladder, and almost killed a bloody way because of this. I think that if Gao Shun hadn't made a decisive move and killed these people in the city in time, if more thieves, figuratively Zhang Fei and others successfully touched the city, with Zhang Fei's combat power, it would be even more difficult to repel them at that time. Although Zhang Fei was blocked on the ladder at that time, he couldn't go up and down, and it was difficult to kill him for a while, so he didn't have to take it to heart. However, Zhang Fei's attack on this side is only one side, there are more battles going on at the same time, Gao Shun can stop Zhang Fei's attack for a while, but what about other places? You must know that the opponent's siege is not a ladder, but a row of ladders, no less than a dozen ladders, these ladders attack together, and the defenders on the city are limited, can they defend it with all their might? What's more, with the ladder, there is also a crash car under the city gate, once the crash car continues to a certain attack, it is difficult to guarantee that Kaiyang City will not be breached.
Therefore, Liu Bei Mingjin withdrew his troops, but he invisibly helped Kaiyang City once, giving the defenders of Kaiyang City time to breathe their breath. Even if it's just for a while, that's good. After seeing that the besiegers under the city retreated, the soldiers finally let out a long sigh. Originally, escaping death should be something to be happy and cheer about, but at this time, in the face of countless corpses in the city, they wanted to be happy, and they didn't have the energy to cheer. After the thieves retreated, they silently carried the corpses of their companions, silently shed tears for them, and silently prayed for them.
After this battle, a lot of people died, almost three to five thousand, and the losses were not heavy. Of course, to put it mildly, Tao Qian, who was besieging the city, also left a corpse under the city, piled up like a mountain, blood and water flowed, and Kaiyang changed color for it.
Gao Shun, he took Sun Guan and Wu Dun to inspect the city before going down to the city.
"Is there any news from Xiapi, has your eldest brother persuaded Que Xuan to raise righteousness?"
When Gao Shun asked, Sun Guan and Wu Dun both shook their heads and sighed, obviously no. Gao Shun didn't ask any more questions, and returned to the big tent without saying a word, leaving Sun Guan and Wu Dun to stand stupidly. Wu Dun looked at Sun Guan and said, "I said second brother, the eldest brother went to Xiapi to persuade Que Xuan to raise righteousness, but I'm afraid it's very difficult, I'm afraid we can't count on it." Moreover, now that the situation in Kaiyang is precarious, I thought that we would have to spend it with them with the thieves' soldiers and horses, but now it seems that ...... This thief is cunning, and he transferred all the garrisons in the rear, just to decide the victory or defeat in a battle. If the previous situation was okay, how could we still hold on to the news of the eldest brother, but now it seems that I can go down at any time, it doesn't matter if we die in battle, we are guarding a little of our brother's foundation, but General Gao ...... General Gao, after all, he is from General Chen's side, we can't even drag him to death with us......"
"And that thing...... Isn't it time for us to tell him? ”
Sun Guan glanced at Wu Dun at the same time, nodded and said: "Third brother, I understand what you mean, we should have told General Gao about this matter earlier, but we are still open to Yang, and we are afraid that this matter will affect General Gao, so we can't help but have some selfish intentions, afraid that he will immediately abandon the city and leave us, so we haven't said anything." But according to the current situation, Kaiyang is already undefendable, and if the thieves want to launch another attack, my Kaiyang may not be able to hold on at any time. At this time, if we still have selfish intentions and don't tell General Gao about this, and General Gao will accompany us to death, then we will be no different from pigs and dogs. Third brother, it's time to tell him about this matter, and if he knows whether to go or stay, it's up to him to make the decision. ”
Sun Guan sighed softly as he spoke, while Wu Dun nodded heavily and said, "Just do what the second brother wants!" The two of them calculated properly, and without hesitation, they immediately went into Gao Shun's big tent. Gao Shun was unfolding a book on the desk and reading it, and he was stunned when he saw the two of them coming in. The faces of these two people are not right! Gao Shun didn't think much about it, and hurriedly said, "The two of you came in in a hurry, do you have something to tell me?" ”
Wu Dun glanced at Sun Guan, Sun Guan coughed, took two steps forward, and said to Gao Shun: "Yes!" It's just that I don't know if I should tell General Gao about this matter, so I hesitated again and again. After Zang Ba left, Gao Shun took over the defense of Kaiyang, and the two brothers Sun Guan were left behind to assist him, although he didn't get along with them for a long time, he still understood the temperament of the two of them. These two guys, who usually lick blood on the knife edge, kill people without frowning, how can they look like mother-in-law and mother today, not like a person at all.
Gao Shun saw that he was still 'hesitating', so he immediately waved his hand and said with a smile: "What is there to hesitate, if you have something to say, Brother Sun, you can just say it, I'll listen here." When Sun Guan heard him say this, he immediately nodded, glanced at Wu Dun, and then turned around and bowed his hand to Gao Shun: "After hearing this, General Gao hopes to be calm...... Actually, this matter is still the news that someone brought from Qingzhou in the north two days ago......"
When it came to Qingzhou, Gao Shun kept thinking: "Qingzhou? But what about General Chen? ”
"Yes!" Sun Guan nodded, looked at Gao Shun's face, and said word for word, "The news says that there has been an accident in Changguo City, and General Chen does not know where to go." ”
"Boom!" Gao Shun's head seemed to have been hit by a bomb, and he was almost stunned. His eyes kept looking at Sun Guan, his lips trembled, and he asked, "Is this......?" What the hell is going on? How could such a thing happen? ”
Chen Nuo's sudden disappearance made Gao Shun unable to believe it, but the words came from Sun Guan's mouth, and he couldn't believe it. Sun Guan frowned, sighed, and said: "Actually, it's hard to say whether this news is accurate or not, anyway, someone else brought it back, and I don't know what happened to the specifics, I just heard a synopsis from that person." Here's what it is......"
It seems to say that Yuan Shao was jealous of General Chen's achievements and wanted to ruin his reputation, so he deliberately forced General Chen to lead troops to attack Beihai...... I don't say it, I believe General Gao, you also know that this Beihai is guarded by Kong Wenju, and Kong Wenju immediately withdrew his troops after taking Linzi and handed over the Qi State, isn't that because he has a gentleman's agreement with General Chen? But now, he Yuan Shao deliberately forced General Chen to send troops to Beihai, isn't that forcing him to break the agreement and let him break his promise personally? He did this because he wanted to ruin General Chen's reputation, who wouldn't see it? But after all, General Chen was Yuan Shao's department, and Yuan Shao's orders could not be ignored, and General Chen was in a dilemma, so he delayed for a while until he took Changguo City......"
"After General Chen took Changguo City and captured Tian Kai alive, he didn't do anything for a while. However, this news finally leaked out and reached Kong Wenju's ears, Kong Wenju stopped doing it, he took the lead and directly sent someone to secretly rescue Tian Kai, and then colluded with Tian Kai and started an incident at the same time. General Chen heard that Kong Wen had raised troops at that time, so he was forced to gather troops and horses to kill Beihai. But who would have thought that not long after the army was raised, General Chen and Kong Wenju fought, and after the war, General Chen suddenly lost the news, and he still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. Some say that General Chen was captured alive by Kong Wenju, some say that General Chen hid in the mountains after being wounded, and even that General Chen died in the chaos at that time. Anyway, there are many rumors, and I don't know which one is true and which one is false. But what is certain is that General Chen has indeed lost news. ”
After Gao Shun listened to Sun Guan's narration, he was stunned, and until now, he still can't believe that this matter is true.
Chen Nuo is kind to him, if it weren't for Chen Nuo, he would never have been able to get out of the cage of Green Forest Village, let alone change from a thief to a general. If it weren't for Chen Nuo's trust in him, he would never have sent him, the commander of the army who had not been in the army for a long time, to take over the defense of the entire Kaiyang. Chen Nuo can be said to have the grace of reinvention for him, and he has always sworn in his heart to follow him to the death. But now, the person who trusts him the most in this world suddenly loses news at this time, which is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for him.
After a long time, Gao Shun looked at Sun Guan with dull eyes and asked him: "So, the current Qingzhou ......"
Sun Guan sighed heavily, shook his head and said: "Since General Chen's accident, the entire Qingzhou has been in chaos, and even Zhao Xue's men and horses who were sent out before have suddenly lost the news. Even...... Even rumors have spread that even the remnants of the yellow scarves that were besieged at the beginning have revived, and they are also rushing over to join in the fun, stirring up a miasma in Qingzhou, and it will not be the same as before. ”
Gao Shun frowned and said, "That...... Isn't Yuan Xiansi the history of Qingzhou Thorn, where is he? ”
Sun Guan smiled: "This matter is not clear to others, isn't it clear to you General Gao?" Thinking about the Qingzhou soldiers and horses are basically in the hands of General Chen, General Chen's disappearance, there is no news of the people under his hands at the same time, although he Yuan Xiansi is a assassin, there are few soldiers and horses around him who can be used, what can he do at this time, it is not a turtle and a plain, and he has not been out, let the situation continue to deteriorate? ”
When Gao Shun heard this, he also sighed heavily: "Yes, Qingzhou is separated from General Chen, then it is not Qingzhou!" ”
Sun Guan nodded and said: "Speaking of which, the culprit is not him Yuan Shao, if he hadn't intervened at this time, Qingzhou Yan would have become the current situation?" He deserves the consequences of his own evil! But then again, now that the situation in Qingzhou is like this, General Chen has also lost the news, I don't know...... I wonder what your plans are in the future, General Gao? ”
Gao Shun said: "General Chen has a great favor to me Gao, Gao must not be repaid, I must try to find General Chen afterwards, whether he is alive or dead, I must also understand this matter thoroughly." It's just that since I promised General Chen before I left that I would come here to guard Kaiyang City for General Zang, I must not leave this place until General Zang returns! ”
Sun Guan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Let's tell the truth, General Gao, you have such a high righteousness, my Sun is very grateful and admired!" However, in the current situation, General Gao, you should also see that the thieves are rampant, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to make the last insistence, if he comes to such an offensive today, I am afraid that I will be able to open Yang City in an instant. Since this city is no longer defensible, why doesn't General Gao leave here, why should he be burdened by this for no reason? ”
Gao Shun's heart moved, and he said, "Listening to your words, don't you want to give up this city?" ”
Before Sun Guan could speak, Wu Dun immediately said: "General, where is this, Kaiyang City is the foundation created by me, my eldest brother and the second brother, we only have the reason to live and die with the city, how can we give up?" If so, even if I go out in the future, how will I face my big brother? Sun Guan also nodded heavily.
Gao Shun smiled lightly: "You two can't bear to give up the foundation, and you can't give up the brotherhood, so do you think that I, Gao Shun, am the kind of person who just says go, does things unclearly, and is anticlimactic?" If I go out and if I lose the sun, how will I face General Zang and General Chen in the future, won't I put myself in an unkind and unjust place? ”
When Sun Guan and Wu Dun heard Gao Shun say this, they also nodded heavily, knowing that they couldn't persuade him, so they had to comfort him and turn around to leave. Gao Shun thought of Chen Nuo's incident in the account, and couldn't help muttering in his heart again, but he still couldn't believe that this thing would really happen.
It was also when he was confused that someone outside the tent handed him a book, which was given to him by Chen Nuo.
There is not much to say in the book, just let him guard Kaiyang carefully, and tell him that no matter what wind he hears, he just has to believe that all this is fake, and that's it.
"Fake?" Gao Shun held the letter in his hand and fell into deep thought.
