Chapter 887: Dreams
"Kill, kill, kill!" The shouting and killing outside Fancheng was heard all day long, and the shouts could be heard there several times in the inner city.
The people of the city trembled even more.
Fancheng has already experienced a war, that time Liu Bei invaded the city, these are all old acquaintances, one of the reasons why this version of Liu Bei's persuasion was unsuccessful was that Zhang Yun and Liu Bei were not all the way.
Also, after Liu Bei took Fancheng last time, he didn't scavenge for oil and water in Fancheng.
Benevolence and righteousness on the surface, a set behind it, this is Liu Bei's ability.
"Lord Zhang has an order, calling on the powerful people to go up to the city wall to help defend the city!" A general under Zhang Yun galloped through the city on a war horse, shouting as he ran.
"I'll go!!"
"I'll go too!" One by one, the people of the city began to spontaneously go to the city walls.
It's not that the people here are highly conscious, but although Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are scholars, they are still very good to the people under their rule, and all the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
Now this Liu Bei, who had disturbed their stable life before, is here again, if Fancheng is breached, they will still have a home there, so they are all filled with righteous indignation.
"Mother, I'm going!" A young son stands in front of his elderly mother.
The mother tidied up her son's clothes, "Son, if you go up to the city wall, you can help General Zhang defend the city, don't be afraid of death, this city is gone, this family is gone!" ”
"Go back, lady. I'll be back soon! "The people of Fancheng ran over to the top of the city.
"General, if we don't act, it'll be too late!" City. Sun Ce's subordinates also got the news, and said to Sun Ce excitedly one by one, didn't they come to Fancheng just to prevent Liu Bei's army from taking Fancheng.
"Yes, General, Zhang Yun can't stand it anymore, and now he has already used the people!"
"Boom!" As he spoke, a boulder fell from the sky. smashed on top of a private house and broke the roof directly, but fortunately there was no one in the house. If there were people, they would be able to take their own lives just now.
This is the trebuchet of Liu Bei's army outside the city, and Liu Bei is also ruthless, since Zhang Yun is shameless. Then he, Liu Bei, also let go of everything. Fully take Fancheng, even if Fancheng becomes a ruin, as long as those scholars are still there.
As for Liu Bei's fear of offending those scholars?
In the past, maybe Liu Bei would be afraid, but now Liu Bei won't, maybe those rulers will give some face to the scholars, but it doesn't mean that they have to give face everywhere, the Cai family. Liu Bei had already given them a chance to surrender, since these two families didn't want to. Don't blame him Liu Bei for so long.
There are also scholars in this city who are familiar with the Cai family.
Just after all of them, there will be no worries in the future, as for the other scholars in Jingzhou, they are all some wall grass, so there is no need to worry.
"Wait!" Sun Ce himself was also very uncomfortable, but in the end, Sun Ce still exhaled and waited.
Now on the city wall, it is undoubtedly looking for death, even if you have the new armor and war knife of the Yangzhou New Army, you can't bear it, the flying stones in the sky.
You must know that Liu Bei is ruthless, and there are no less than twenty trebuchets outside the city.
"How long are we going to wait!" Some people expressed dissatisfaction, after all, Sun Ce came from Jiangdong, and some generals were still dissatisfied.
"Wait until the lord tells us to do it!" Sun Ce settled down and said to the people around him.
In fact, Sun Ce still has one sentence that he hasn't said, that is, if he can't wait for that time, then he will only have to send troops.
However, when the time comes, it will inevitably startle the snake, and it will be difficult to clean up Liu Bei's army.
Outside the prosperous town, on the side of the Yangtze River, Guan Yu also returned to his camp, and the firelight of Fancheng in the distance told him how fierce the war was on Guan Yu's side.
But all this has nothing to do with him Guan Yu, what he needs is to guard a waterway of the Yangtze River to ensure that a steady stream of grain and grass from Xiangyang is sent to Nanyang, and in the event of an emergency, Guan Yu's army is Liu Beijun's backhand.
"Second General!" Seeing that Guan Yu was back, one of the people in the camp hurriedly greeted him, "Second general, there is news from Lord Sun!" ”
Guan Yu looked at this person, this person was not an outsider, he was Sun Gan's helper left in Guan Yu's army, Guan Yu was a military general, although he often read military books, but he also needed some civilian officials to help him deal with affairs, this person was seconded by Guan Yu from Sun Gan.
is still a junior disciple of Sun Gan, who has studied under the great Confucian Zheng Xuan.
After learning that the Yangzhou army was attacking Runan, this person was in a hurry, how could those soldiers and horses in Runan be the opponents of the Yangzhou army, even now Liu Bei didn't dare to touch Yangzhou's tiger fart, shares.
Not to mention that there will be a dilapidated city and 15,000 men and horses left in the Runan.
The only way for Runan is to retreat Runan City and return to Jingzhou.
But how did the territory of Jingzhou come about, it was brought by Pang Shiyuan to Liu Bei, so Sun Gan's junior brother panicked, he was afraid that Pang Shiyuan would do something to Sun Gan. Only then did it come to Guan Yu's head. Let Guan Yu go to the camp of the lord Liu Bei to find out.
Guan Yu smiled at this person, "Don't worry, Dove, it's okay, the eldest brother has already sent a letter to Gongyou, let Gongyou immediately withdraw from Runan City and come to Nanyang to join the eldest brother!" "These are the news that Guan Yu got from Liu Bei.
"So the best! So much better! This one called Dove couldn't help nodding, but he always felt that something was wrong in his heart.
Wancheng on the way to Fancheng.
The army was marching in the dust, and they had no extra baggage all the way, all of them were one man and two horses, but they were not in a hurry at all during the march.
"Sun Shilang, the front is about to enter the boundary of Nanyang!" A military general who looked like a thousand generals clasped his fists at Sun Qian and said.
"Nanyang County!" The man, who was called Sun Shilang, muttered to himself. Once here, I'm going to meet you.
"Why, why do you do that! I'm the most loyal to you! "This man is called Sun Shilang. Shouted in my heart.
"Sun Shilang, His Royal Highness has an order, I will obey your Lord Shilang in everything, and please give an order!" The thousand people on the side couldn't help but interrupt this person's self-talk.
"Yes!" Sun Shilang nodded: "Bring me the map!" ”
"Yes!" Soon, a topographical map of Nanyang County appeared in Sun Shilang's hands.
"Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Jian Yong's three-way army is showing the trend of horns, and they are attacking Fancheng with all their might! Squire-sama. We set off immediately, detoured behind Liu Bei, and decided to fight. It will definitely make Liu Bei Xiaoer unable to eat and walk around! The general looked at the layout of Liu Bei's army on the map and said to this Sun Shilang.
"Horns of each other, aren't they?" Sun Shilang looked at the layout on this map, and the entire Liu Bei army showed a triangular shape. can rely on each other.
"Let's go to Guan Yuna!" Sun Shilang faced the general on the side.
"Go to Guan Yuna?" The general on the side was stunned for a moment, he really couldn't figure out why he wanted to go to Guan Yu. You must know that Guan Yu has his back against the Yangtze River, and he can fight against the water. On the surface of the Yangtze River, there are countless Jingzhou boats. As soon as things change. can go directly back to Xiangyang.
There are also two armies of Liu Bei and Jian Yong on the side, and it can be said that they are basically invincible.
No one can swallow Xia Guan Yu.
"That's right, it's going to Guan Yuna!" Sun Shilang said calmly.
"But!" This general doesn't understand, this persimmon should be jumping soft pinch, this relying on the mobility of their army can completely detour behind Liu Bei, and catch Liu Bei off guard, but now he has given up this soft persimmon and gone to find trouble with Guan Yu.
Guan Yu is the most defensive. His army was not mobilized at all, and they were tired. People wait for work.
If you attack Guan Yu now, isn't it purely uncomfortable.
"General Xu, if you don't want to listen to someone Sun, then just leave directly, and let someone Sun return to the mountains!" This Sun Shilang said in a light tone.
"You!" The general was annoyed for a while, but then he gritted his teeth and endured it, the lord had already said that he would definitely obey the orders of this person, if he did not deal with it from the warlord. What's more, this person already has a heart to retreat, and now what supports him here is just a seed of revenge. If he really let him throw his hands away, he Xu Sheng would have a few heads that could be cut off by the lord.
"The last general will obey everything and Lord Squire!" The generals on the side could only grit their teeth and endure it.
"Yes!" This Sun Shilang didn't say much, just hummed, and then issued an order, "The whole army dismounts!" ”
"Dismount the whole army!" Over there, Xu Sheng really listened to this Sun Shilang's words, and let everyone get off the war horse.
"A hundred people take care of the war horses, and the rest of them are all kneeling and rolling on the ground!" Sun Shilang began to call the season again.
"Rolling on your knees?" Although Xu Sheng didn't understand, he still carried it out.
"Huh!" Suddenly, this Sun Shilang directly pulled out his war knife from his war horse and slashed towards Xu Sheng. "What do you want to do!" Before Xu Sheng could react, a few guards on the side surrounded him, looking at this Sun Shilang with fierce eyes.
"Get out of the way!" Sun Shilang's tone was very flat.
"Huh?!" Xu Sheng looked at Sun Shilang, he came towards him with a war knife, I don't know if he was confident in his strength, or something else, Xu Sheng said, "Get out of the way, let Lord Shilang come over!" ”
I saw Sun Shilang walk to Xu Sheng's side, divide it by two, cut out several strips of cloth on Xu Sheng's clothes, and some places began to leak.
Suddenly, Xu Sheng's eyes widened, and he only felt a pain in his arm.
Blood immediately flowed from Xu Sheng's shoulder. "Look for death"! Xu Sheng's subordinates on the side were furious, this guy dared to hurt their general.
Xu Sheng also frowned.
Looking at the war knife drawn by Xu Sheng's subordinates, he surrounded himself, and stared at him, but at this time, this Sun Shilang became more and more calm.
It didn't seem to be able to see this, but I saw that this Sun Shilang also took out a war knife and slashed it at his arm.
The blood soon flowed.
Xu Sheng watched this Sun Shilang self-harm, and seemed to understand something, "Everyone do it!" ”
Only then did this Sun Shilang raise his head and look at Xu Shengduo twice.
"Let's go!" This Sun Shilang got on the war horse by himself, and there were only a few horses behind him, and the other soldiers and horses all got off the war horse, and they all injured themselves one by one, although there were no dead people, but these thousands of people each had a knife, but it also had a very heavy smell of blood.
Along the way, Xu Sheng listened to Sun Shilang very much, this Sun Shilang, let him go wherever he went, and even he could see that this Sun Shilang was taking them on a detour, which could have been directly there, but now he has indeed walked many more wrongful roads, and they have been to several places.
But Xu Sheng still didn't talk much.
Finally, this Sun Shilang spoke, "Isn't it strange, why did I let Liu Bei go, but go to Guan Yu!" ”
Xu Sheng didn't speak, but looked at this Sun Shilang with his eyes.
"Don't worry, I promised your lord what happened, I will definitely do it, and I won't take you to death! Although Guan Yu is the strongest and the highest defense of the three-way army, you must not forget that this high defense is only against the enemy, but we are our own people! Sun Shilang began to confide his true meaning to Xu Sheng over there.
"My own people!" Xu Sheng also nodded, if it weren't for Sun Shilang's reminder before, they would have forgotten that they are not Yangzhou New Army now, but Liu Bei's army, and their bodies are no longer black military uniforms, but green, Liu Beijun's green.
"After detouring Liu Bei's army, although Liu Bei can be defeated, it is just a defeat!" This Sun Shilang suddenly talked more, "As long as Guan Yu is there, Liu Bei can calmly retreat to Xiangyang, and there is a limit to the losses of his army several times, and he can still gather from Jingzhou!" "In troubled times, human life is the least valuable. For the sake of a bite to eat, naturally many people go back to join the army.
"And if you take Guan Yu!" This Sun Shilang stopped talking.
If Xu Sheng doesn't understand this, it will be really stupid, if he wins Guan Yu's army, then it will not only block Liu Bei's way back, but also a serious blow to the morale of Liu Bei's army.
If it really succeeds, this Liu Beike will really have a grudge against Nanyang County.
Xu Sheng couldn't help but glance at Sun Shilang a few more times. The lord said that he was just a second-rate strategist, but how do you look at it, how is it not like it, is it the power of revenge?!
There is still something that Sun Shilang has not told Xu Sheng, that is, among the three of Liu Guanzhang, that is, Guan Yu is the most benevolent, or only this person is still living in a dream.
Live in that dream of courtesy, righteousness, shame and faith! (To be continued......)
