Chapter 553: Reinforcements to Zhang He for battle
readx;
On Wuguan, the battle continued, Zhuge Liang was bored leaning against the city wall, looking at the Cao army who was desperately attacking. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Although a day and a night have passed, the Wuguan defenders are still in good spirits, and Wuguan is still crumbling! Zhang Fei, who was hiding in the dense forest not far away, looked at Wuguan in surprise, his heart was rolling, he really didn't expect Zhuge Liang to use an army of 100,000 to withstand Sima Yi for a day and a night. You must know that Cao Jun is more than four times the defenders of Wuguan!
"Strategist, aren't you signaling yet?" Huang Zhong, who was standing next to Zhuge Liang, admired the young man in front of him very much. Looking at Zhuge Liang's young face, he seemed to see the high-spirited Liu Zhang. Back then, he often saw this confident expression on Liu Zhang's face, and he still can't forget it!
"No hurry!" Zhuge Liang looked at the city and said with a smile: "It's only been a day and a night, and the Cao soldiers are not injured, even our soldiers can enter the state." Take your time, there is time, and the order of the lord is for me to drag these princes to death in order to achieve the goal of stabilizing the interior! ”
"Yes!" Huang Zhong no longer speaks, and should be respected for those who have the ability. What's more, he is not a person who relies on the old and sells the old. However, Huang Zhong's attitude made Zhuge Liang appreciate it very much, everyone knows that Huang Zhong was the first veteran to follow Liu Zhang, and even his son dedicated his life to Liu Zhang. An old minister like this doesn't have a trace of arrogance, which is really commendable!
"General Huang, it's almost!" Looking at the sky, the soldiers of Wuguan had already supported for a night, and Zhuge Liang instructed Huang Zhong: "The brothers have resisted all night, and as soon as Sima Yi's attack stops, you will let Guan Yu take people to the city." Sima Yi will stay in reserve, and so will I! Don't look at our small number of people, as long as we rely on the favorable terrain, even if there are ten times as many enemy troops, it will not be difficult for me! ”
"The resourcefulness of the military advisor is admired!" Huang Zhong didn't mean to lie, he really admired Zhuge Liang in his heart. If he is allowed to garrison Wuguan, he will see the strength of Cao's army, and he will not be able to send all his soldiers to the pass! Today, although Wuguan looks crumbling, it is actually solid. What's more, Zhuge Liang still has a backhand, even if Sima Yi attacks Wuguan, there will be no good fruit to eat!
"General Huang doesn't have to be like this, you and I both serve the lord, they are a family, if you don't give up, you will call me my cousin in the future!" Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, for this honest old general, he respected it from the bottom of his heart!
"How can this be!" Huang Zhong knew Zhuge Liang's status in Liu Zhang's mind, and even more aware of his future achievements, he didn't dare to be courteous, even if his official position and age were higher than Zhuge Liang!
"Nothing can't be!" Zhuge Liang smiled: "We live and die together now, aren't we brothers?" You are so much older than me, and you are not a few years older than my father's generation, call me a word, or am I cheap! Isn't it that General Huang looks down on me and thinks that I am not qualified to be friends with you? ”
"This..."Huang Zhong smiled bitterly: "Since the military advisor said so, he will trespass below!" I've seen Kong Ming... Mr! ”
Although he was determined to call Zhuge Liang's expression, but in the end, he still unconsciously used the honorific title, looking at the embarrassed Huang Zhong, Zhuge Liang knew that he was not so easy to correct, and couldn't help laughing; "So be it! General Huang, the Cao army is temporarily resting, you quickly let General Guan lead the troops up! ”
"My subordinates understand!" Huang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly called Guan Yu over. The soldiers at the head of the city also began to change their defenses, and finally completed the change of defense before the Cao army attacked again! However, after the change of defense, Huang Zhong did not go down, but just let Huang Xu go down to rest!
"General Huang, why don't you go to rest yet? It's up to you at night! Looking at Huang Zhong standing beside him, Zhuge Liang hurriedly urged him to go down and rest, after all, no one knew how long Sima Yi was going to attack.
"Mr. Kong Ming, haven't you been watching for a day and a night? As a general, how can I fall behind you! Huang Zhong stood even straighter, and his resolute face was shining with a little brilliance!
"How about you and me!" Zhuge Liang smiled: "You fought all night, and I just watched." Hurry up and rest, if you can't guarantee plenty of energy, how can you ensure the safety of Wuguan? ”
"This..."Huang Zhong hesitated for a moment and said, "Strategist, if I go down, what about your safety?" Although there are Tao Ying and Pan Feng, if you meet the enemy general, I'm afraid..."
"Isn't there another one?" Guan Yu arranged the defense, strode to Huang Zhong's side and said, "Brother Huang, with me to protect Mr., aren't you still at ease?" ”
"With Mr. Yunchang protection, of course I can rest assured, but..."Guan Yu was arrogant, Huang Zhong knew that he was not convinced that Zhuge Liang had parachuted into Wuguan, so he was a little hesitant. Huang Zhong didn't want anything to happen to Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu, so that he missed Liu Zhang's big event!
"Brother Huang, we've known each other for nearly twenty years, don't you know me?" Glancing at Huang Zhong, Guan Yu had an indescribable meaning on his face, but Huang Zhong understood!
"Then I'll leave it to you!" Huang Zhong patted Guan Yu on the shoulder and went down. A night of fighting, for a veteran who is nearly fifty years old, is indeed a little tired!
"Yun Chang, thank you very much!" After Huang Zhong left, Zhuge Liang nodded at Guan Yu, with his wisdom, how could he not see Guan Yu's thoughts!
"This is what I should have done!" In fact, Guan Yu also admires Zhuge Liang, surrounded by enemy troops several times larger than himself, Zhuge Liang can still calmly observe the situation and divide the army into two, just with this calmness and vision, he is already worthy of his respect!
Glancing at Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang didn't speak again, he already had a comprehensive understanding of Guan Yu, and Guan Yu didn't speak, because he wanted to be a loner, and he didn't want to have anything to do with anyone except his old brother before, especially the strategist! Familiar with "Spring and Autumn", he has begun to learn to protect himself, even if he doesn't need to!
The tranquility between Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu was in stark contrast to the noise on the city, but no one noticed that the battle was still going on, and the fighting between the two armies still had no intention of stopping! I don't know how many people died, and a strong smell of blood wafted in the air. Not far from Wuguan, a large army was marching in a hurry, and the soldiers in the army were each holding a long euphorbia, which was a halberd under Zhang He. Rushing from Chang'an to Wuguan on foot, in one day and one night, the euphorbia ran more than 100 miles!
When night fell, Wu Guan and Cao Jun made adjustments again, Guan Yu was replaced by Huang Zhong, but Zhuge Liang was still insisting. Looking at Zhuge Liang's slightly pale face, Huang Zhong opened his mouth, but did not speak, he knew that Zhuge Liang would not listen to his persuasion! However, this did not bother Huang Zhong, he ordered the junior colonel to carry a bed to the city for Zhuge Liang to rest! Not to mention, Zhuge Liang was really tired, he fell on the couch, listening to the sound of the fight on the close, and fell asleep! As for what he would dream about, it is unknown!
"What people!" After most of the night, there was a dense sound of footsteps outside the rear of Wuguan, Guan Yu, who had always been very awake from sleep, was the first to jump up, even faster than the guards in the camp, and he came to the gate of the camp with the Qinglong Yanyue Knife. At this time, the camp was also lit up with fire!
"Your own people, don't do it!" After two days and two nights of driving, Zhang He was also very tired, he thought that all the soldiers of Wuguan should be defended at the pass, but he did not expect that there were soldiers behind the pass, in order not to have a conflict, he hurriedly stopped the army and rushed forward by himself!
"Your own people?" In the darkness, Guan Yu couldn't see anyone coming, he was still on guard with a knife, and Xiao Xiao also brought his horse here! He sat upright and immediately asked, "Since you are from our army, do you have a certificate?" ”
"The letter of appointment of the lord and the letter of the general are here!" Zhang He immediately ordered someone to send Liu Zhang's letter of appointment and his seal letter, he didn't want to clash with the Wuguan defenders!
"The whole army goes back to the camp to rest!" After checking the letter documents, Guan Yu immediately asked the soldiers to disperse, and these soldiers will have to guard the pass tomorrow! He greeted Zhang He alone, and said with a smile on his face: "It turned out to be a gentleman, why are you so reckless, you don't know how to send a small school to notify you!" ”
"I wanted to shout directly to enter the gate, who knows if there are still people who haven't been closed!" Zhang He asked a little puzzled: "Didn't you say that Sima Yi was crazy about attacking fortifications, and Wuguan was crumbling?" Why are you still resting here? ”
"Mr. Zhuge divided the army into two groups to resist the Cao army, and now General Huang is closing it, while we are resting under the pass, and we will exchange after dawn!" Guan Yu patted Zhang He's shoulder and smiled: "You're here, Wuguan will be safer, what's going on with the lord?" ”
Cao Ying was frightened by the lord and dared not attack the city, presumably focusing on Sima Yi and Sun Quan. A few days ago, Sun Quan and Zhou Junshi made a big attack in Fuguan, and both sides suffered heavy losses. In order to prevent such a thing from happening in Wuguan again, the lord sent me! Hearing that the battle was still going on, Zhang He was very excited, he was really afraid that when he arrived, Cao Jun had already retreated, so he hurried to catch up with the starry night!
"It's still the lord who is powerful, and one person can be a million heroes!" As the saying goes: Let the Holy Son of Heaven have the help of a hundred gods. Hearing that Cao Ying was very afraid of Liu Zhang, Guan Yu smiled and nodded. In his opinion, Liu Zhang is a god, that is, the true son of heaven, if there is no strange place, it is abnormal!
"General Guan, I heard Guan Shang shouting and killing, why don't you let me go up and help!" After chatting for a while, Zhang He listened to the shouting and killing sound on the close, and couldn't help but feel a little itchy in his heart, so he took the initiative to ask for battle.
"Forget it!" Guan Yu said with a smile: "When you came, you must have marched in a hurry. Look at the soldiers behind you, do you still have combat effectiveness? Our struggle against Sun Quan and Cao Ying will continue for a long time, and every soldier is the most precious force, so don't make senseless sacrifices! You rest for the night first, and let the soldiers get a good night's sleep. Ming said, let them continue to camp under the pass, and you follow me to the pass to meet the military advisor! ”
"Obey the general's orders!" Since Guan Yu let himself rest, Zhang He immediately ordered to set up camp, and with the fatigue of his soldiers, it was indeed not suitable for him to fight. It didn't take long for the bustling noise to subside again, and the lights gradually faded away, except for the sound of fighting on the close, there was silence under the close......
As soon as the sky was bright, Guan Yu's camp was boiling, although the shouts and killings at the gate continued all night, but how could the extremely tired soldiers hear it? Besides, if you don't have the ability to fall asleep, being a soldier is an errand to find death! Lian Yue's exhaustion will make people slow to react, and going to the battlefield is equivalent to death!
Guan Yu's camp moved, and Zhang He's camp naturally would not continue to sleep. Soon, the two armies sorted out their internal affairs, and after breakfast, they were on standby in the battalion! Zhang He found Guan Yu, and the two waited for Zhuge Liang's order to change guards! When the morning sun slowly climbed into the sky, the herald finally arrived, and at the moment when the shouting stopped, Guan Yu rushed to the city with his corporals, and he followed Zhang He by his side.
"The last general, Zhang He, see Lord Zhuge yet!" After arranging the defense of the pass first, Guan Yu took Zhang He to find Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang was resting on the bed prepared by Huang Zhong. Zhang He didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed down!
"General Zhang is exempt!" Zhuge Liang sat up abruptly and asked, "How many people did the lord let you bring?" ”
"My subordinates have brought 50,000 halberders!" Zhang He smiled bitterly: "The lord asked me to tell Mr. Zhuge that he doesn't want to give you too many troops, but he has always asked for elite soldiers to streamline the government, and there are really no extra soldiers!" However, he believes in you, with your ability, even if you only give you 350,000 soldiers and horses, you will have a way to stop Cao Jun! ”
"My lord thinks too highly of me!" Zhuge Liang shook his head with a bitter face, he really didn't know why Liu Zhang was so confident in him. Of course, he didn't know that his reputation in later generations had been publicized to the point of being wise and almost demonic! This is one of the reasons why Liu Zhang trusts him!
Regarding Zhuge Liang's self-talk, Zhang He didn't dare to add more beaks, he lowered his head and said: "Sir, before I came, the lord asked me to listen to your orders, do you think you will arrange some tasks for me?" ”
"General Zhang, don't worry, it's not time for you to appear yet!" Seeing Zhang He's face full of flattery, Zhuge Liang knew his thoughts, but Zhuge Liang couldn't meet his wishes, after all, Zhuge Liang's purpose in transferring reinforcements was to defend the martial arts, not to make Zhang He happy!
"Subordinates obey!" Zhang He was a little disappointed, but he didn't dare to disobey at all, he knew Zhuge Liang's status in Liu Zhang's mind, this kind of person was not something he could offend!
"General Zhang, don't be disappointed, the Cao army has been attacking for two days and two nights, what you have to do now is to rest in order to deal with the final tough battle!" Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, in his impression, the combination of archers and spearmen was the best way to deal with cavalry.
Zhang He's halberd warriors are used to deal with cavalry, although they are not foolproof, but they are also quite sharp, especially when dealing with the siege of the city! Imagine, when a group of cavalry rushed to the city, they found that they were greeted by spears and horses, and those cavalry lost their momentum, and they became lambs to the slaughter!
"Got a tough fight to fight?" Zhang He's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Thank you, Mr. Zhuge , but there is an order, although I am outspoken, I will fully cooperate with it to ensure that there will be no omission..."
