Chapter Fifty-Seven: Kong Ling Finally Arrives
Wen Chou knew the final outcome of the battle against Dong, and this time he promised Zhang Miao, Bao Xin, and Cao Cao's group that he wanted to attack with this group, just like secretly forming an alliance with Sun Jian, not hoping to really defeat Dong Zhuo, but to improve his reputation, so that he could truly become a member of the princes of the world! Recognized by the world.
However, he can't say this clearly with Tian Feng and others, he pressed his sword and said: "Dong Zhuo's crimes are monstrous, the wolf is ambitious and violent, the crime is full of evil, and the abuse of the people is even more extreme, and what he does is the common anger of people and gods. This remark, what Wen Chou said was boiling blood.
Wen Chou's generous statement may be able to deceive others, such as Guo Jia, Xun Yan and others who don't often see him may believe it, but they can't deceive Tian Feng. Tian Feng is extremely intelligent, accompanied by him day and night, he already knows what kind of person he is, knows that although he is righteous and benevolent, but he is by no means the kind of person who touches a stone with an egg, coupled with Wen Chou's code of conduct all the time, and what he is pursuing, he knows that Wen Chou is seeking to go further in fame, and said: "Since Ming Gong is loyal and righteous, we will do our best to think about it, and we must also seek it for Ming Gong." ”
"The gentlemen are all wise and wise, and with the help of the gentlemen, they will fight against Dong in the coming day, and the contemptible people will fight the strong with the weak, but they will not necessarily be defeated." With Tian Feng's opening, the others agreed, and Wen Chou couldn't wait to thank him with words, indicating that he valued these wise and talented people.
A day later. Kong Ling's soldiers approached Yang Zhai, and the county officials and soldiers went out of the county for thirty miles to meet him.
When I went, it was thirty miles, and when I returned, it was thirty miles, and this time I went back and forth for sixty miles, and most of the people who went to greet Confucius were scribes and Confucian scholars, not riding horses. Instead, they went by car, and the road was not fast, and by the time they caught Kong Ling and rushed back, it was already around noon the next day.
Wen Chou received the report, did not wear armor, wore a black Confucian robe, a high crown and a belt, and a leather belt and sword, and took Tian Feng, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, and Dian Wei out of the camp and came to the outside of the county. Waiting for Kong Ling's arrival.
Yesterday has entered the middle of February, although the morning and evening are still a little cold, but after all, it is already the middle of spring, the sun at noon is even warmer, the sun is warm on the body, quite comfortable.
The north of Yangzhai County is Yingshui, and it is like jade in the distance. In the midst of the waves, two small boats sailed on it. Or the people of Qianshou near the water are fishing on the river. Some of the weeping willows at the water's edge have already budded, spitting out a little bit of new green, and between the water and the sun, revealing a faint spring.
In order to suppress Kong Ling, Wen Chou deployed military forces in Yingchuan and recruited officials. It really took a lot of thought, and now that the Lord is about to arrive, he doesn't have the slightest nervousness, nor does he have any anxiety.
When he was still in Changshan, Wen Chou was not sure to overwhelm Kong Ling. After all, he is still not sure what level of his prestige and reputation have reached, and whether he has had such an impact on the people of Yingchuan? But as a result, after coming to Yingchuan, Kong Ling's belated arrival made Wen Chou objectively have ample time to make various arrangements in advance, which made Wen Chou have a greater grasp of suppressing Kong Ling.
And let him finally wait for Sun Jian's imminent information,—— Sun Jian wrote yesterday, saying that he would set off from Luyang in a day or two at most and enter the territory of Yingchuan, and at that time, Kong Ling's only advantage in more troops would no longer exist, and Wen Chou's last trace of worry was gone, and he now had ten percent certainty in his hands to suppress Kong Ling.
Now that he is 100% sure that he can hold down Kong Ling steadily, of course his mood at this time will be as turbulent as the water.
didn't wait too long, the road was already dusty in the distance, Tian Feng looked at it from afar, and said to Wen Chou: "Kong Yuzhou has arrived." ”
It was indeed Kong Ling's soldiers and horses who came.
More than 100 cavalry took the lead, galloped outside the county seat, and after seeing Wen Chou, they dismounted one after another and came over to salute the army.
Wen Chou looked at it, the leader was Xun Yu, and there were more than ten riders behind Xun Yu who were his own knights, but he didn't know the person who was parallel to Xun Yu and the rest of the knights.
Xun Yu introduced to Wen Chou: "This is Luo Zhi in the Confucian Mansion. Then he said to the man, "This is my general." ”
This Luo is in his thirties, like Wen Chou, no armor, wearing a black official robe, he is very respectful to Wen Chou, bowed, reported his name, and said: "In Xia Luotao, Kong Gongwen was waiting outside the county to greet him, and he was very panicked, so he specially ordered me to come and invite the general to the army to talk about one or two. ”
Since he was "panicked", he should have come to see him in person, and why did he send a small person to invite Wen Chou to talk to the army? Wen scandal said, sneered, and didn't care. He knew that Kong Ling must be angry that he sent Xun Yu to give him a dismount and wanted to take revenge, but he was not annoyed or angry, and said with a smile: "Okay." Let Luo Tao lead the way, follow behind with Xun Yu, Tian Feng and others, and go to Kong Ling's army.
Because he had arrived in Yangzhai, Kong Ling probably issued a military order, ordering all troops to be stationed there, and the dust and smoke on the road in the distance had slowly dispersed, and Wen Chou and the others had moved forward for a mile or two, and they could see the Yuzhou soldiers and horses stopped on the road in front of them.
I don't know if this part of the people stopped at the front is the state soldiers or the county soldiers, a total of about 2,000 people, but it is standing on the road, wearing armor and holding weapons, it is very powerful and majestic, a big banner in front of the department, with five words written on it: "Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong", there is the appearance of an elite division.
Tian Feng whispered to Wen Chouyan: "Kong Yuzhou is looking back." ”
Wen Chou sent 1,500 elites to meet Kong Ling, and Kong Ling laid out 2,000 elite armor to show Wen Chou.
Wen Chou didn't care. When they arrived in front of this armor soldier, they heard a military order coming out, and the two thousand armor soldiers either retreated to the left or to the right, and divided into two teams, revealing a road in the middle. Wen Chou looked at this road and saw hundreds of cars parked on the road, with the fine rider outside and the baggage cart inside.
There are about seventy or eighty cars, each with a curtain, which is colorful at a glance, and among these many cars, there is one of the most majestic, and the rest of the cars hold it in the middle like the stars holding the moon.
Xun Yu took a step forward and whispered, "Kong Yuzhou is in the middle of the car. (To be continued......)
