Chapter 58:-for-tat
Luo Tao, who was leading the way in front, stopped, turned to the side, and said to Wen Chou: "General, Kong Chengcheng is waiting for him in the car." ”
Wen Chou nodded and said: "Kong Gong is coming from afar, he must be tired of driving and horses, it is not good to make him wait for a long time, please lead me in front." ”
Luo Tao agreed, turned around and continued to walk forward.
Wen Chou and the others followed closely behind, passing through the two thousand armor soldiers with spears, and came to the group of chariots, and under the gaze of many knights and scribes under the car, they calmly came to the car where Kong Ling was.
Luo Tao stopped in front of the car, first saluted the car, and said loudly: "Report to the general, General Wen has arrived." ”
The Kwantung Zhulu raised troops, in order to facilitate the cross-state and county affairs, and to facilitate the attack on Dong Zhuo, it was to show each other the title of general, and Kong Ling also won the title of a general, which was the general of Xing Jianwei.
After Luo Tao finished reporting, it took a long time for a voice to come out of the car unhurriedly: "General Wen has arrived?" Wait a moment for me to get out of the car and greet him. ”
Wen Chou said: "The general is coming from afar, and the journey must be very hard, so I don't dare to bother the general to get out of the car." Not far from the front is the county seat, Xiao Ke please guide the general in front of him, so as to invite the general into the city. After saying this, he shook slightly into the car, then turned around and walked away, without any delay.
Luo Tao was stunned, watched Wen Chou leave, looked at the car again, hurriedly caught up, and said, "General Wen, please stay, Kong Gong will get out of the car." ”
Wen Chou said with a smile: "Kong Gong came from afar, and the road was hard, so he asked Kong Gong'an to sit in the car and be guided by contemptible people." As he spoke, he walked forward without stopping.
Luo Tao wanted to stop him, but he was not rude, so he had to watch Wen Chou leave.
Tian Feng, Xun Yu and others. In addition, Zhou Lu, Wang Zhen, Xun Yan and others in Kong Ling's team all followed one after another and went away with Wen Chou.
Zhou Lu and the county officials and scholars went out of the county for thirty miles to Yingkongling, and they all went by car, but now when he saw Wen Chou walking, he didn't take the car again, and he followed on foot.
Xun Yu thought as he walked: "Wenjun gave Kong Ling three points of face. came to pick him up, but he took the shelf, so that someone called Wen Jun to the car to meet, and put the fine armor in front of the car, there was a thing of us leading the elite soldiers to meet him and give him a horse, Wen Jun only regarded it as his counterattack, or he could still bear it, but Wen Jun had arrived in front of the car, but he had to inch in. Still sitting in the car, leaving Wen Jun out in the cold, it took a long time to speak, Wen Jun had to wait for him to get out of the car, he might not be able to take the shelf! After all, he is the assassin of Yuzhou, and he has an alliance with Wen Jun, if he takes a shelf, Wen Jun will not be able to tear his face on the spot. At the moment, it is best to walk away. It can also be regarded as an overly arrogant and rude act in response to Kong Ling. Xun Yu admired Wen Chou's impromptu response, and the more he thought about it, the more subtle it became, and his recognition of Wen Chou was higher.
Seeing that he had already taken more than 100 steps and entered the battle of the two thousand elite armor, Kong Ling still did not have the slightest movement in the car. Tian Feng glanced back, sighed, and thought: "In this way, it seems that this Kong Ling has no talent for adapting to emergencies, and under his fame, it is actually difficult to deserve!" ”
Wen Chou was summoned by Luo Tao in front of the city. Moved to the front of the Yuzhou army, calmly passed the elite armor array, greeted Kong Ling outside the car, without the slightest dissatisfaction, seemed to respect Kong Ling very much, but only said a word, turned around and left, this must be out of the original "eyebrows" Kong Ling's expectations, Kong Ling if talented, at this time will not be without a reaction, but the car has been silent so far, I think there is no other reason, can only be because Kong Ling met this sudden change, stunned, I don't know how to deal with it, so that there is nothing to say, no order to send.
When Xun Yu went, he brought 1,500 elite foot riders, at this time these troops were behind the Yuzhou army, Xun Yu followed Wen Chou out of the elite armor array, and got Wen Chou's order, so he turned over on his horse, turned back from the side road, took these foot horses to bypass the avenue, and returned to the camp, and at this time Xun Yu had a deeper understanding of Wen Chou.
Zhou Lu, Wang Zhen, Xun Yan and others approached Wen Chou's side, and they had something to say to Wen Chou, one was to explore Wen Chou's tone and take a look at Wen Chou's attitude, and the other was to show Wen Chou's position.
Wang Zhen said to Wen Chou: "My lord, after we met Kong Yuzhou, on the way to the county, Kong Yuzhou treated us quite coldly and ignored our love. When he spoke, he was also observing Wen Chou's face.
Zhou Lu said: "After I and Mr. Wen Ruo caught Kong Yuzhou at the county border, Mr. Wen Ruo took the initiative to ask for Ying to open the way for Kong Yuzhou in front, but Kong Yuzhou was left behind in the army to follow. ”
Wen Chou just smiled and didn't say anything.
Zhou Lu continued: "Kong Yuzhou saw that Mr. Wenruo greeted him with me, and privately asked me how many soldiers and horses the lord had brought into the county, and how much grain and straw he had brought to follow, and also asked the general what he meant by sending troops to his father city and Yanling counties. ”
Wen Chouxiao said with interest: "Oh, how did Zhou Jun answer?" ”
Zhou Lu said with a smile: "I answered with the truth: when the general entered the county, he brought 20,000 armor, and after entering the county, there were many strong men in Yingchuan, and the number of people in the army increased by thousands during the day; The general did not bring too much grain from the line, but after entering the county, the county sergeant and the people greeted him, and the county sent grain to worship him; The prince divided his troops to the north and south of the county, in order to communicate with the sour jujube and welcome General Sun into the country. ”
"Oh, what did Yuzhou say about this?" Wen Chou laughed.
Zhou Lu replied: "There is nothing else to say." ”
Wen Chou smiled again and said, "Qing doesn't have to wait for me, wait for Kong Yuzhou here." ”
Zhou Lu, Wang Zhen, Xun Yan and others are the county officials and scholars of Yingchuan, they were originally going to meet Kong Ling, and now Kong Ling is coming, and it is reasonable for them to leave it behind, so everyone promised and waited for it.
Zhou Lu asked: "So, when Kong Gong arrives today, he was originally scheduled to wash his dust at night, will the lord come or not?" ”
"The despicable will not go. Zhou Junru told Yuzhou on my behalf that in order to boost morale and prepare for the battle against Dong, I will review the troops tomorrow, and if Yuzhou has free time, please come to my camp to watch. ”
"Reviewing the troops" was not a temporary idea for Wen Chou, he had already planned to do so. There are some new soldiers in his army, all of whom have never been on the battlefield, the battlefield is a place of death and life, and there will inevitably be people who are afraid, although these people were dispersed to various military departments by Wen Chou, but they still have a military parade before the war, which can still improve morale, and it can further deter Kong Ling and others, so that Wen Chou can firmly grasp the sovereignty of Yingchuan.
Zhou Lu was clear, and responded: "No." ”
Leaving Zhou Lu and others to wait for Kong Ling, Wen Chou, Guo Jia and others turned to the south of the city, and returned to the camp after riding with Xun Yu. (To be continued......)
