Chapter 201: Conspiracy
"Zhang Sima! Zhang Sima! The cavalry shouted, turned over and dismounted when he got closer, knelt on one knee, presented a talisman to Zhang Xiu, hugged his fists and said: "Sima Zhang, Captain Zhang has an order, return to Linjin quickly!" ”
Zhang Xiu's face changed, took the order, and said solemnly: "What happened?" ”
The cavalryman said urgently: "Hedong Fierce General Guan Yu raised troops to attack Linjin!" ”
"What?" Zhang Xiu's face changed suddenly: "Is this serious? Guan Yu'an dares to do this! ”
Ji Ping on the side also changed his complexion slightly, and his brows were furrowed. How could Yun Chang attack Zuo Feng Yi?
Linjin is a large county near Hedong County in Zuo Fengyi, across the river from Puban, where Dong Zhuo's Xu Rong and Zhang Ji are stationed.
It's just that now the situation in Guanzhong has exploded at a moment, and there is no benefit to Hedong from starting a war at this time.
Could it be because he was assassinated? Ji Ping immediately thought of the assassination last night, and thought that he ran to meet the sergeant led by Zhang Xiu at night and was forced to flee south. Could it be that the Star Guard has reported that he was chased and killed by the Qiang Hu soldiers on the river last night?
Although it was a misunderstanding of encountering the Qiang Hu soldiers last night, it has become a fact that they were chased and killed. Yes, if Mother He Hou or Guan Yu knew about last night's incident, especially his mother, he would definitely order an attack on Zuo Fengyi in anger, but there was Lu Zhi, who acted steadily, how could he issue this military order?
Could it be ...... Did they learn that they had entered Guanzhong, and Xiang Zhuang was dancing the sword with the intention of Pei Gong, attacking Linjin just to make himself safer?
Ji Ping thought of a lot in the blink of an eye.
Over there, Cai Yan also looked over, and just saw Ji Ping's thoughtful expression, his eyes flashing slightly.
"Please also ask Sima to return quickly." The cavalryman spoke out again.
Zhang Xiu, as a military commander, was second only to Zhonglang general Xu Rong and lieutenant Zhang Xiu in Zuo Fengyi's Linjin County garrison, commanding a total of 2,500 soldiers and horses in the front and back, left and right, and Zhongwuqu, which was extremely crucial in the battle. Now the fighting broke out. He had to go back.
"Cai everyone," Zhang Xiu turned around and hugged his fists at Cai Yan's carriage and said: "Forgive me, the war is urgent, and I must rush back to Linjin immediately, so I left ten sergeants to escort Cai and everyone to Chang'an." ”
Cai Yan opened the curtain of the carriage and said softly: "General Zhang will send you all the way." Cai Yan is already very grateful, and now he has entered the customs, not far from Chang'an, the road is smooth, and there is no need to send it again. The war is dangerous, and I hope the general will be careful. ”
"Thank you, Cai." Zhang Xiuyi arched his hand and turned to Ji Ping: "Changsheng, please also ask Brother Dai to personally send Cai and everyone back to Chang'an and hand it over to Cai Zhonglang." ”
"Brother, rest assured. Everyone Cai has the grace to save my life, and I will do my best to escort you to Cai's mansion. Ji Ping nodded, his expression was a little complicated, and he said again: "Guan Yunchang has the courage of ten thousand people, but he can take the rank of general among the ten thousand troops, and I hope to be careful." ”
"Haha," Zhang Xiu laughed: "What Changsheng said." Be a brother and keep it in mind. "Turning over the horse, the horse turned his head. Suddenly remembered something, and turned around and said: "Jia Wenhe, the captain of the captive school stationed in Huayin County, has always been good friends with my uncle, and my brother has ordered someone to inform Captain Jia before, after you enter Huayin County, there will be proper arrangements for food and accommodation." ”
"Jia Wenhe?!" Ji Ping looked at Zhang Xiu's figure of patting the horse away. couldn't help but feel a heartbeat: "Isn't Jia Xu, this old fox, in the Niu Auxiliary Army?" When did you transfer to Huayin? ”
As soon as he looked up, Zhang Xiu had already taken seven or eight people away.
……
At dusk, Zuo Fengyi, in the area of the ancient royal city thirty miles east of Linjin County, drums and horns contended. The sound of the fight shook the sky.
Because Guan Yu has been on the defensive for nearly a year, this time the troops were sent suddenly and quickly, which caught the Qianghu soldiers in Linjin off guard and were in a hurry.
From the afternoon, Guan Yu led an army of 10,000 troops to Pujin, and in less than an hour, he swept the defense line arranged by Dong Zhuo's soldiers on the other side of the Yellow River, killed and defeated more than 1,000 Hu soldiers, and then almost destroyed all the way, broke through several defense lines in Linjin County, broke through 20 miles, and arrived at the ancient king city of 30 miles east of Linjin County.
At this point, Dong Zhuojun of Linjin reacted, and Zhonglang personally pressed Xu Rong into the formation and organized a defense in the area of Guwangcheng.
Guan Yu sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack the ancient king city, and at the same time set up camp in the back, and cleaned up the miscellaneous soldiers in the nearby townships.
In the middle of the Hedong Army, Guan Yu was frowning, Danfeng's eyes were narrow, and his expression was depressed.
He has already received news that there is chaos in Hanoi, and his brother Liu Xuande and third brother Zhang Yide are nowhere to be found!
This news made Guan Yu anxious, and he couldn't go to Hanoi to find his two brothers immediately, but the lord handed him the responsibility of guarding Hedong County.
This attack on Linjin, Guan Yu was almost venting, the troops were crazy, if it weren't for Xu Rong on the opposite side who guarded the palace tightly and did not retreat, he would have already broken through Linjin in one go.
Listening to the deafening sound of drums and horns, Guan Yu had an urge to rush up and fight, but then suppressed it, he is now the main general of the first army, not a young general who opens the way for the forward, unless the situation is urgent, he can only fight.
……
Jizhou, in the forward military camp of Yuan Shao in the south of Jieqiao, Wen Chou, who was dressed in military uniform, frowned, and was looking at the topographic map.
Wen Chou was stunned for a moment, and ordered: "Bring in." ”
Since Wen Qing was released from Hedong, Wen Chou has repeatedly reflected on his excessive care of this little brother on weekdays, which caused him to be in a high position early, ambitious and talented, and lacked tenacity, so he transferred him to the logistics grain transportation to slowly polish it.
After Wen Qing entered the big tent, he made a color to Wen Chou.
Wen Chou frowned and asked the guards in the tent to go out.
"Big brother," Wen Qing didn't wait for his brother to ask, so he took out a drawing from his arms and handed it to Wen Chou: "Someone asked me to give this picture to my eldest brother." ”
"Oh? Who is it? Wen Chou was stunned for a moment, asked, took the drawings casually, swept them, and couldn't help but change his expression, and then looked carefully, but a pair of eyes became brighter and brighter, and at the same time, the expression on his face became more and more confused.
After about a cup of tea, Wen Chou closed the drawing, carefully put it away, looked up at Wen Qing, and looked at it with a serious expression: "Who gave you this drawing?" ”
"Yes...... Is it ......" Wen Qing seemed hesitant and reluctant to explain, but seeing his brother's stern expression, he couldn't help but panic in his heart, lowered his head, and said stubbornly: "Yes...... ...... from the east of the river"
Wen Chou's face changed sharply, and Sen Ran said, "You...... You are still in contact with Hedong?! How many heads do you have! ”
"How dare I contact Hedong," Wen Qing said quite wrongly: "They secretly gave it to me three days ago." ”
Wen Chou's face eased slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Can anyone else see this drawing?" ”
"No, I didn't." Wen Qing hurriedly shook his head.
Wen Chou lowered his head again, opened the drawing, and looked at it.
Half of the Tianwenqing saw that Wen Chou didn't react, and couldn't help shouting: "Big brother......"
Wen Chou didn't raise his head, and waved his hand: "You go back, remember, be careful in everything." ”
After Wen Qing went out, Wen Chou looked at the drawings for a while, closed them again, and couldn't stop wandering back and forth in the tent.
That drawing is a battle map of the Boundary Bridge! Strengthen the crossbowman with a sword and shield hand to crack the battle map of the cavalry attack!
A letter was added to the picture, with only one sentence: "Gongsun Zan is arrogant and belligerent, and does not care for the people, if he gets Jizhou, and there are Youzhou, Yizhou, and Qingzhou, he will control tens of thousands of strings, and it will be difficult for the world to sleep and eat."
