Chapter 159: The Bad Guy Came to the Door (Fourth Watch)
"Okay, let's share the information first. You know him better than I know him in Hanoi, so let's talk about his current situation. Zhang Shuang talked about Zhang Yan and asked Ding Yuandao.
Seeing that Zhang Shuang was finally on the right track, Ding Yuan suddenly forgot about his unhappiness in his heart. As for Zhang Yan's information, Ding Yuan naturally counted the treasures and said: "Zhang Yan commanded seven or eight hundred thousand people, entrenched in the large and small valleys in the Taihang Mountains, and occupied the nearby county seats. Under normal circumstances, they do not occupy cities far from the Taihang Mountains. Because they were far away from Taihang Mountain, they couldn't hide back immediately. But when they are short of food, they still attack the counties. Usually he doesn't kill people much, it's just the granary of Kouluo's official uniform, gold and silver. ”
After Zhang Shuang listened, digested it, and asked again: "How many elite soldiers are there?" ”
"About 100,000." Ding Yuan said.
"Okay, it's quite accurate for me to fool Liu Hong. There were 100,000 soldiers. Zhang Shuang shrugged his shoulders and thought to himself. But the question came again, Zhang Shuang said: "Since they don't occupy the city far away from Taihang Mountain, why did they go south to attack Hedong and Hanoi this time?" ”
"Because of the grain, the harvest in most parts of the state this year was not very good. Not to mention the fields on the mountain, Zhang Yan can't survive at all if he doesn't come out to rob it. ”
Ding Yuan said.
"Actually, the fundamental reason is that your Shouyang, General, is too rich. Now everyone knows that you have hoarded a lot of grain, and for Zhang Yan, Hedong is equivalent to a fat sheep, so he naturally heard the news. ”
At this time, a voice that was neither yin nor yang sounded.
"Whose hostility do I seem to have provoked?" Zhang Shuang was a little surprised, he was very calm in the past two or three years, and it was rare to meet someone who talked to him like this, not to mention, but it was definitely rare. Zhang Shuang looked up in surprise, he had met him just now, this person was Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang.
Thirty or forty years old, with triangular eyes, he doesn't look like a likable guy.
Moreover, Zhang Shuang remembered that among the princes of the Eighteen Roads in the future, there would also be this goods, which belonged to Zhang Shuang's potential enemies. The appearance is not pleasant, and it is still a potential enemy.
However, Zhang Shuang is also very understanding and sympathetic to Wang Kuang. There is definitely a reason to complain about this product, and Zhang Shuang himself didn't expect that Zhang Yan came for his own domestic grain in Shouyanghou.
Now Zhang Yan's army of 100,000 people is heading south, and the front of the army is pointing directly beyond the east of the river, and even Hanoi has suffered. Isn't Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang the fish that harmed the pond fish?
He recruited someone to provoke whom, and he was actually affected by the pond fish, so it was strange that there was no electric complaint in his heart.
However, although Zhang Shuang understands, it does not mean that he has been told by the National People's Congress, and he should be fine. So, Zhang Shuang smiled and said, "What does Wang Hannei mean is that I should send a lot of food to Zhang Yan and then let him leave?" I can go to the court, and if this is possible, I am absolutely willing to sacrifice and send food. I just don't know if I can tell the court, this is what Wang Hanoi meant? ”
Isn't giving food to Zhang Yan just raising tigers? Although there are many wine bags and rice bags in the imperial court, wine bags and rice bags are not stupid forks. Can you agree to such an approach?
If Zhang Shuang's expression goes up, the government and the opposition will have to scold me Wang Kuang for being a straw bag.
Wang Kuang was in Hanoi for a long time, far away from the court. Although I have heard that Zhang Shuang is very capable, with his back to Zhang Rang, even the general He Jin has been put down.
But with a fluke mentality, and I really felt uncomfortable, I said a sentence. I didn't expect retribution to come so soon.
Wang Kuang regretted his impulsiveness a little, and hurriedly remedied: "That's not what the last general meant. ”
"That's not what it means." Zhang Shuang said with a smile. At present, it is the time to gather everyone's strength, Zhang Shuang took revenge on this matter, but did not investigate it deeply.
Zhang Shuang turned his head and asked Ding Yuandao, "Then where is Zhang Yan now??? ”
"Bring me the map." Ding Yuan didn't answer, and in Zhang Shuang's slightly stunned gaze, he pulled his hand back, making very casual and chic movements.
Then Lu Bu also took out his sleeve very skillfully, took out a white silk, and handed it to Ding Yuan. Not noticing Zhang Shuang's stunned gaze, Ding Yuan unfolded the map and placed it in front of everyone.
Pointing to a small black dot on the map, he said, "Zhang Yan is here, the county of Shangdang County." It is about 200 miles away from our Chengyun County. ”
Zhang Shuang was still immersed in the shock just now, Ding Yuan not only used Lu Bu as the main bookkeeper, but also as a personal attendant. And looking at Lu Bu's skillful appearance, it has obviously been a while.
Ding Yuan really deserves to be one of the cattle people of the Three Kingdoms.
Zhang Shuang took a few deep breaths before recovering from the shock. After thinking carefully about Ding Yuan's words, he touched his chin and said, "In that case, Zhang Yan is the first to bear the brunt???? In other words, if Zhang Yan can't pull us out, then it will be difficult for him to continue to go south and attack Hanoi, Hedong? ”
"Yes." Ding Yuan nodded.
"What's the point? Hurry up and strengthen the city wall, hoard materials to defend the city, and defend it. Zhang Yan has 100,000 soldiers, and we have a total of 80,000, and it would be nice to have a city to defend" Zhang Shuang rolled his eyes and said.
Zhang Shuang really doesn't understand, since he has such a good terrain advantage, he still has a fart. Defend the city and wait for Zhang Yan to retreat if he can't hold on.
"But Zhang Yan's dispatch is very rare, and if you kill Zhang Yan, you can control the entire state to the north. And the black mountain thieves entrenched in Taihang Mountain were wiped out. This was of great benefit to the imperial court. Ding Yuan didn't expect Zhang Shuang to say this, and said in a hurry.
"Is this thing using me as a gunman? The reason why he, the assassin of the annexed states, was stationed in Hanoi was because he couldn't go to the annexed states to take office, and if he killed Zhang Yan, he would be able to control the entire annexed states. And what do I get? It's just a little more fiefdom. Now I'm just waiting for a smooth succession, so why bother with trouble? ”
Zhang Shuang despised Ding Yuan in his heart, and said righteously: "We have 80,000 elite soldiers, and we can fight." But we are now camped in the east of the river, in Hanoi, if lost us. Then Henan County, the capital of Luoyang, was directly exposed to Zhang Yan's soldiers. As a hussar general, my first task is to protect the safety of the capital, and I can't take this risk. ”
"But the General." Ding Yuan's wishful thinking was completely guessed by Zhang Shuang, and when he heard this, he became even more anxious, and hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade him.
"Needless to say, the town guard is it. If there is any significance to your decision on me, you can directly impeach me. ”
Zhang Shuang said lightly, then looked around at everyone and ordered: "Defend the city." ”
"No."
Everyone agreed, and even Wang Kuang had no opinion. Anyway, he is not a state assassin.
"This!" Ding Yuan was anxious, but he really had no choice but to retreat. He did have the intention of participating in Zhang Shuang's book, but although he was lonely and unheard, he had also heard of Zhang Shuang's ability in the court, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he gave up after pondering two or three.
"When will I, the assassin of the state, go to the state to take office?" With a sigh, Ding Yuan went down to prepare to defend the city. However, Lu Bu looked at Ding Yuan, who was fighting with Zhang Shuang but was defeated, and then looked at Zhang Shuang, with a different color in his eyes.
Others didn't notice it, but Zhang Shuang did. He smiled.
Lu Bu, Lu Bu, Ding Yuan has no power, he wants the chassis without the chassis, and he has no courage or not. You have joined my command early.
As seen today, Zhang Shuang is completely sure that Lu Bu can get his hands on it. Even now that he makes a move, gives more gold, and promises status, Lu Bu will also betray Ding Yuan and defect to him.
However, Zhang Shuang gave up after thinking about it, and now he has to rely on Ding Yuan to defend the city together. Second, we should put this opportunity in our best interest.
Kill Ding Yuan and his soldiers.
When I seize Luoyang and control the Son of Heaven, it is the time for Lu Bu to make a move.
In short, it's just a dish, a dish.
Everyone went down, but Dian Wei stayed.
"Got something to say?" Zhang Shuang looked at Dian Wei and asked with a smile.
"Did Ming Gong notice that Lu Bu?" Dian Wei asked.
"You noticed it too?" Zhang Shuang was a little surprised.
"It's very good, I'm not sure I can beat him. I just don't know how to lead troops. Dian Wei nodded.
"I'll have a chance to see it later." Zhang Shuang smiled and said.
Dian Wei was just reminding him, but now looking at Zhang Shuang's expression and tone, he also noticed that Zhang Shuang had noticed it. Without further ado, he bowed and withdrew.
"Don't use me as a gunman, pierce your hands. However, there are also refreshing points. In this battle, I just need to hold the city, and it is estimated that it will be over soon. The right to be out and about. It's so lucky not to have to go through the cracks before taking over. ”
Zhang Shuang pillowed his hands, fell on the floor, got another quilt, and fell asleep beautifully.
Chengyun City is stuck between Hanoi, Hedong, and Bingzhou, and if Zhang Yan's army does not conquer Chengyun, it will be difficult to go down to Hedong, which is rich and rich. Zhang Shuang occupies a favorable location, does not move like a mountain, and waits for Zhang Yan to come.
Two days later, Zhang Yan really came. When Zhang Shuang heard the news, he went to the city to watch with Ding Yuan, Wang Kuang, Jin Cheng, Xu Huang and other generals.
I saw a large army in front of me, 100,000 people, forging the camp. It is more than ten miles wide, and there is no edge in sight.
A large army is imposing. Zhang Shuang and the others climbed high and looked into the distance, looking at this army, they knew that Zhang Yan was worthy of his name, and the 100,000 people in front of him were far stronger than the hundreds of thousands of Zhang Jiao's three brothers.
"It may be tomorrow that the city will be attacked, so get ready." After Zhang Shuang took a look, he felt that it was impossible to attack the city today, so he said to everyone and planned to go down to the city.
At this moment, a thunderous drum sounded.
"Knock knock!"
"Kill!"
The roar of killing followed, and Zhang Shuang turned back in surprise, only to see an army of thousands of people coming out of Zhang Yan's array and coming to the city. The first general, raised his gun and challenged: "I am Du Chang, the general under Zhang Shuai." I heard that the governor of the city is Zhang Shuang, the general of the Han hussars, and he came to challenge. (To be continued.) )
