Chapter 264: The Great Tribulation is Coming

It's unbelievable to say, the drunk Yuan Sangong was not woken up by the frustration with cold water until the fifth watch and the third quarter had passed, that is, after half past four in the morning, after waking up, the dizzy Yuan Sangong saw the frustrated Yuan standing by his bed with a bucket, and howled like a pig: "Be bold and frustrated Guangping, what are you going to do?" Why splash me with water? Do you want to kill the Lord?! ”

Of course, it is impossible to kill the lord, and if you kill the lord, you won't just pour cold water, in short, I finally woke up the big Yuan Sangong, and the frustrated professor didn't even have time to ask for the guilt of splashing the lord with his own water, and he pulled up the big Yuan Sangong and walked out of the tent, and the big Yuan Sangong who was still dizzy struggled and screamed, and once again questioned whether the frustrated professor planned to kill the master, but the frustration only used one sentence, which made the big Yuan Sangong completely quiet, "Lord, the black nest was attacked, and the direction of the black nest was full of fire, and it can still be seen clearly from more than 20 miles!" ”

"True or fake?" It took a lot of effort for Da Yuan Sangong to react, and exclaimed, "Is it a misreport from the horse?" The black nest is forty miles away from the rear of our army, how can it be attacked by the enemy? ”

Time is urgent, and the frustration can only be to pull Da Yuan Sangong to the big tent while explaining the ins and outs of the matter to Da Yuan Sangong on the road, and then there is a report that there have been scouts to report before, and the direction of Wuchao is already full of fire, and it has been confirmed that it was attacked by the enemy, and the murderer can basically be determined to be the self-army cavalry that pretended to be Han Meng's team and rushed to Wuchao. And when Da Yuan Sangong heard this, he not only broke out in a cold sweat, but also yelled at the frustration: "Such a big thing, why didn't you wake me up early?" ”

"My lord, my lord has summoned you for three hours, and I have summoned you for three hours!" Frustrated and shouted loudly, "But the lord you have always been drunk and unconscious, and your subordinates were forced to be helpless, so I splashed you up with cold water!" ”

"Then why didn't you splash me up with water earlier?" Da Yuan Sangong is also very good at finding the gas bag, and he just roared angrily at the frustration, "If you delay the military plane like this, if the black nest is lost, it will be your crime!" ”

"Lord, let's send the army to save the nest first." Frustrated and said helplessly: "The rest of the matter, what about it when I save the black nest?" Da Yuan Sangong thought about it, and shouted angrily that he would settle accounts with you later, so he hurried to the big tent to raise the account and point troops, and at the same time ordered to quickly convene the civil and military officials to the big tent to discuss how to rescue the black nest.

After the order was conveyed, only a few civil and military officers such as Guo Tu, Xun Chen, Yuan Tan, Zhang He and Gao Ran came to the big tent successively, and most of the others reported that they were drunk and had not woken up, and Yuan Sangong was furious, and immediately ordered to splash water on these civil and military generals, and he wiped his sweat and said quickly: "Lord, others can talk slowly, and now we should immediately send troops to save the nest, right?" His Majesty suggested that the lord could quickly send two generals, Zhang He and Gao Lan, to lead a light horse to the rescue of Wuchao. ”

"The end will wait for the wish."

Zhang He and Gao Ran also volunteered to go to the black nest to rescue, but Mr. Guo Tu jumped out and said quickly: "The lord can't, Cao Jun robbed grain, and Cao thieves will definitely go in person." Since the Cao thief comes out, the village will be empty, but the army can attack the village of Cao Ying first; If you hear it, you must return it quickly, and this Sun Bin encircles Wei to save Zhao's plan! ”

"Nonsense!" He was so angry that he even cocked his beard and roared angrily: "You still have the face to talk about the art of war, don't you even understand the sentence of putting you to death and then being born?" Cao thief's sneak attack on Wuchao is his only chance to turn defeat into victory, this will you don't want to say that you take the opportunity to attack the Guandu camp, that is, send troops to attack Xuchang, Cao thief will not give up attacking Wuchao! ”

"Mr. Frustration has a point." Zhang He, who is quite brainy, echoed: "And Cao thieves are resourceful, they must be prepared when they go out, the Guandu camp is unusually strong, and it is difficult to go down, and it is not only difficult to take down when sending troops to attack, but it will also delay the military aircraft and delay time. ”

"The person who is talking nonsense is you frustrated Guangping, right?" Guo Tu also said angrily: "Zhang Junyi, you don't mix with each other, Guandu is the root of the Cao thief, if our army takes the opportunity to break through Guandu, the team of the Cao thief sneak attack on the black nest is rootless, and it is easy to break." And the Guandu camp is strong, if the main force of the Cao thief sticks in the camp, it is extremely difficult for our army to break it, and now the main force of the Cao thief is out, it is a God-given opportunity for our army to break through Guandu, if this opportunity is missed, our army wants to break through the black nest again, I don't know how much time it will take, how many casualties! ”

"Father, Mr. Gongze has a point." Yuan Tan stood up to help his sworn friends and said: "General Wuchaochun Yuqiong has 30,000 defenders, which is enough to resist Cao Thief's sneak attack on soldiers and horses, and our army should seize the opportunity to attack Guandu with all its might." ”

The internal discord once again pitted the great Yuan Sangong, the big Yuan Sangong, who was the least good at making decisions on the spot, was indecisive, and when he heard these diametrically opposed suggestions, it was inevitable that he would be even more difficult to decide, and he was embarrassed: "What you say has its own reason, it really makes me ......, it really makes me embarrassed, this is ......." ”

After hesitating to this, Da Yuan Sangong suddenly caught a glimpse of Xun Chen, who was standing silently on the other side, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Youruo, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty ......." Xun Chen, who agreed with the frustrated opinion in his heart, was even more embarrassed, and just wanted to open his mouth to persuade the Great Yuan Sangong to immediately go all out to rescue the black nest, but saw Yuan Tan Gongzi looking at him coldly, in order not to attract the siege of Yuan Tan Gongzi and his party, Xun Chen had to change his mind, and said: "Lord, Mr. Gongze and Mr. Guangping are both reasonable, fortunately, our army has a lot of soldiers, the lord might as well divide the troops into two ways, send infantry to attack Guandu to besiege Wei to rescue Zhao, seize the opportunity to break through Cao's camp, and send light cavalry to rescue Guandu to ensure that it happens." ”

"Mr. Youruo's words are exactly what I want." Da Yuan Sangong applauded with great joy, and hurriedly shouted to Zhang He and Gao Ran: "Zhang He and Gao Lan, you two can lead 10,000 infantry to attack Guandu, and over there in Wuchao, I will send light cavalry to rescue!" ”

"No." Zhang He and Gao Ran reluctantly agreed, took the order and hurriedly sent the troops away, where Yuan Tan wanted to ask Ling to save Wuchao, but he never thought that Guo Tu quietly pulled Yuan Tan Gongzi to stop it, and then arched his hand to the Great Yuan Sangong and said: "Lord, General Wenchou is good at commanding the cavalry, and General Han Meng, the grain guard, is familiar with the situation of Wuchao, and Tu suggests that the lord can send these two people to lead the cavalry to save Wuchao." ”

Yuan Sangong was very satisfied when he heard this, and immediately ordered Wen Chou and Han Meng to come to the big tent to receive the order, Guo Tu explained to Yuan Tan Gongzi afterwards: "The black nest is full of fire, and the grain and grass of our army must have suffered losses more or less, if the prince personally leads the army to save the black nest, then no matter how much grain and grass is lost, it will inevitably provoke the anger of the lord, this black cauldron must not be carried by the prince or our own people, only Yuan Shang's people can carry it." When Yuan Tan Gongzi heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly praised Mr. Guo Tu for his thoughtfulness and foresight.

After such a toss, when Wen Chou and Han Meng finally sobered up and received their orders, and gathered tens of thousands of cavalry out of the camp to rush to the rescue of Wuchao, the time was already early in the morning, and it was already half the day. At the same time, after Wen Chou and Han Meng led the troops out of the camp, Da Yuan Sangong reluctantly let go of his heart and began to ask Fu Zhu about the details of last night's situation, and when Fu Zhu introduced Zhao Yun to be the first to find out that the situation was abnormal and the first to lead the army to the rescue of Wuchao, Da Yuan Sangong inevitably nodded again and again, and said: "Okay, Zilong is really a general of wisdom and bravery, and he led the army to the Wuchao rescue first, I don't have to worry." ”

"Father, about Zhao Yun, the child is having something to do." Yuan Tan Gongzi suddenly stood up and arched his hand and said: "I heard that General Zhao Yun had already discovered an unknown cavalry of our army galloping towards the black nest before yesterday's day, but I don't know why, Zhao Yun did not report to his father immediately, and deliberately delayed it until his father was drunk, and then reported the matter to Mr. Fuzhi. ”

"And that matter?" Da Yuan Sangong became furious when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Fu Zhu, "Fu Zhu, is there really such a thing?" ”

"There's this." Fu Zhu nodded, seeing that the face of the third prince of Da Yuan was angry, Fu Zhu hurriedly added: "My lord, the eldest prince is not completely right, although General Zilong did find an army rushing to Wuchao around the time, but that army was under the banner of our army, and the patrol soldiers in General Zilong's team saw that team from a distance, and only informed General Zilong after returning to the camp, so General Zilong failed to report the news to the lord in time. ”

Da Yuan Sangong's face finally slowed down a little, and he didn't think that Yuan Tan Gongzi suddenly said again: "Mr. Frustration, is this really the case?" Why did I hear that the Cao thief team disguised as our army answered our army's night march password correctly when they passed through our army's village? Who leaked the password for our army's night march? ”

"I'm looking into this." Fu Zhu replied: "Please rest assured that the lord and the eldest prince will definitely find out about this matter and give the lord an explanation." ”

"Mr. Guangping, I think you should check Zhao Yun first." Guo Tu stood up and said with a sneer.

"Why?" Frustrated and angry, he asked: "Zilong is loyal and righteous, the first to discover the abnormality, and the first to lead troops to Wuchao for reinforcements, for this reason he is willing to risk being punished by the lord, his suspicion is the smallest, why do you want to investigate him first?" ”

"Just because he was the first to discover the anomaly and the first to lead the troops to the black nest, he is the most suspicious!"

Mr. Guo Tu replied loudly, then turned to Da Yuan Sangong and said even louder: "Lord, don't you think there is one thing that is very strange? Yesterday evening, the lord announced that Zhao Yun had entered the tent to drink, Zhao Yun used the excuse that he didn't dare to drink more because of his occasional illness, and only drank a glass of wine given by the lord and left, and then he was the first to find the abnormality, and the first to lead the army to the black nest - so coincidental, is it a bit coincidental as if it was arranged in advance? ”

Da Yuan Sangong's face began to show suspicion, and he hurriedly said loudly: "I know the reason why Zilong refuses to drink, he saw that the lord and most of the generals of our army were already drunk, so he didn't dare to accompany the lord to drink, so he found an excuse to stay sober and returned to the camp to preside over the night defense of the camp!" ”

"It turns out that Zhao Yun is really pretending!"

Yuan Tan Gongzi shouted in surprise, and then quickly turned to Yuan Sangong, arched his hand and said, "Father, this matter is too coincidental, right?" Zhao Yun happened to find an excuse to refuse to accompany his father to the banquet, and happened to be the first to discover the abnormality, and even happened to be the first to lead the army to the black nest, this black nest is of course the best if it can be saved, if there is any ...... in the black nest, wouldn't it be even more coincidental? ”

The look of suspicion on Da Yuan Sangong's face was even worse, but he was so angry that he trembled, and shouted: "Zilong is a crime to do his duty, do you have to be like you, one by one, drunk and dreaming of death, you don't know that the disaster is coming, so there is no suspicion?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the angry eyes of the three princes of Da Yuan immediately turned to Fu Zhu, who was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The lord forgives the sin, and the subordinates are in a hurry. But Zilong is indeed loyal to the lord, I hope that the lord will distinguish between right and wrong, check the loyalty, and don't hurt the heart of the loyal minister. ”

Da Yuan Sangong's face slowed down a little, and after snorting heavily, Da Yuan Sangong said coldly: "If Zilong can save the black nest, I will naturally reward him heavily, if he can't save the black nest ......, hum!" ”

Fu Zhu didn't dare to continue talking, but lowered his head and prayed secretly: "May the heavens bless, bless Wuchao, bless Zilong, and bless ......, I have 300,000 soldiers in Jizhou." ”

The god of the Jizhou army obviously did not go to work today, and in the next period of time, the bad news kept flying like snowflakes, first of all, Zhang He and Gao Ran were ambushed by the Cao army when they attacked the Cao army camp, and were forced to ask for help from the camp. Then there was the news of the increase in the fire in Wuchao, and even in the camp of Wang Mobiezhai, which was thirty miles away from Wuchao, you could clearly see the smoke rushing to the sky in the direction of Wuchao, forcing Yuan Sangong to send an additional 10,000 soldiers and horses to Wuchao, Yuan Shaojun's military heart also began to panic, rumors spread in the army, and the generals and soldiers were all terrified.

It was also when the Great Yuan Sangong was anxious that Yuan Tan Gongzi and his party finally reported to the Great Yuan Sangong that Zhao Yun had picked up Lu Xiang with a gun, and insisted that Lu Xiang had found that Zhao Yun's team was carrying something that ignited fire, and he wanted to forcibly pass through the Lv Xiang camp defense area. Da Yuan Sangong was even more furious when he heard the news, and immediately summoned the generals sent by Lu Xiang's camp to report the news, and Lu Xiang's deputy naturally belonged to Yuan Tan Gongzi's camp, and of course he made a good confession with Yuan Tan Gongzi and his party, saying that Zhao Yun's army had something to ignite, and the speed of the march was not very fast, and deliberately said that Zhao Yun's arrival at Lu Xiang's village was nearly an hour late, which made Yuan Sangong even more angry, and scolded Zhao Yun for deliberately delaying the military plane.

The most fatal blow to Zhao Yun came from the report of General Chun Yuqiong, in order to shirk responsibility and reduce the charge, Chun Yuqiong preemptively sent his henchmen to report to the Great Yuan Sangong, saying that Zhao Yun deliberately delayed the military plane when rescuing Wuchao, and when General Chun Yuqiong was still desperately resisting Cao's army in the camp, Zhao Yun deliberately stood still five miles away from Wuchao, and also lined up to the south, not only did not immediately rush to Wuchao to rescue, but also seemed to have the intention of intercepting Yuan Shaojun's reinforcements for Cao's army!

By the way, in addition to sending his henchmen to report to Yuan Sangong, General Chun Yuqiong also asked his henchmen to send a letter to Yuan Tan Gongzi and Mr. Guo Tu, in which he expressed his loyalty to Yuan Tan Gongzi, and also begged Yuan Tan Gongzi to lend a hand and pull himself, and he would definitely make a grass ring in the future to repay Yuan Tan Gongzi's great kindness. And the allegiance of General Chun Yuqiong, who was once listed as the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden with Yuan Sangong, Yuan Tan Gongzi was inevitably very moved and began to weigh the importance of interests.

It is conceivable that the anger of the Great Yuan Sangong when he heard Chun Yuqiong's false accusation, coupled with the fact that Yuan Tan Gongzi and his party fanned the flames on the side and fell into the trap against Zhao Yun, so it was useless to persuade the Great Yuan Sangong to send someone to investigate the truth, and the Great Yuan Sangong not only cut down the messenger sent by Chun Yuqiong on the spot, but also smashed the case and roared: "No need to investigate, if the black nest is not guaranteed, Chun Yuqiong and Zhao Yun are both guilty!" ”

"It's over!" Su Zhi Da Yuan Sangong's face turned pale suddenly, and he said secretly: "If Wuchao is not guaranteed, Zhao Yun will die, and he will definitely die no longer dead!" ”

Fidgeting and anxiously waiting until the afternoon, there was finally accurate news from the Wuchao side, Wen Chou and Han Meng, who were sent to the rescue of Wuchao by the Great Yuan Sangong, sent a fast horse to report urgently, saying that after their light cavalry team arrived at Wuchao, the Wuchao granary had been burned clean, and Cao Jun did not know where to go. And after hearing the news, Da Yuan Sangong fainted on the spot, and while he was shocked, he also hurriedly sent his henchmen to find Zhao Yun, asking Zhao Yun to flee immediately to save his life, because Fu Zhu knew very well that now Zhao Yun was a hundred reasons, and he would definitely not be able to fight the party of Chun Yuqiong and Yuan Tan Gongzi, who were high and powerful in the Jizhou army, even if Da Yuan Sangong was destined to kill Chun Yuqiong, Zhao Yun would definitely have to bury Chun Yuqiong.

The matter is not over, after Da Yuan Sangong was rescued left and right, as soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and was so shocked that he was frustrated, Guo Tu and others screamed miserably, and when he stepped forward to support Da Yuan Sangong, Da Yuan Sangong, whose face was like gold paper, took Guo Tu's hand and ordered tremblingly: "Add troops to Guandu, and order Zhang He and Gao Ran, if you can't break through Guandu to avenge my Wuchao granary, Gu will be beheaded!" With that, Da Yuan Sangong's head tilted, and he suddenly fainted again.

"Lord, lord!" Fu Zhu hurriedly shook the third prince of Da Yuan, and cried: "How can you give such an order, lord? Zhang He and Gao Ran, they have done their best, how can you force them to ......? ”

"Shut up!" Yuan Tan Gongzi pushed away Fu Zhu and roared angrily: "Fu Guangping, do you want to kill the master? Father is like this, you still dare to shake him, you want his life? ”

After pushing away the frustration, Yuan Tan Gongzi helped the unconscious Yuan Sangong and shouted: "My father is seriously ill, I am the eldest son, and now I am in charge of the affairs of the army!" The order goes down, increase the troops to Guandu by 20,000, be sure to break through Guandu, and then pass the order Zhang He and Gao Lan, before it falls, if you can't attack Guandu, you will be beheaded! ”

The guards of the Great Yuan Sangong hesitated for a long time, and finally sang a promise with uneven fists, and Yuan Tan Gongzi, who finally turned over and became the master, was ecstatic, and couldn't wait to give Guo Tu a look, Guo Tu also nodded, indicating that he understood. But this little action of Yuan Tan Gongzi and Guo Tu did not escape the eyes of the frustrated professor on the side, and the frustrated professor was also suspicious in his heart, and said secretly: "What are the eldest prince and Guo Tu looking at?" What are they going to do? ”

"Xuanwu Gate." Yuan Tan Gongzi thought so, "Can you succeed in one fell swoop by doing the things of Xuanwu Sect now?" ”
