Chapter 467: Niu Fu dies
It was night, the sun had set over the horizon, and darkness had begun to slowly envelop the earth.
Tongguan, as one of the few Xiongguan in the world, here is guarded by the mountain, looks majestic and majestic, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is definitely a difficult bone to gnaw.
And at this moment, above Tongguan, there are only a few Dong Zhuojun soldiers and horses dangling on it, and they are all listless and drowsy.
After all, the prestige of this Tongguan is too great, and in their opinion, it is impossible for anyone to capture Tongguan. In addition, now that their Dong Zhuo army was attacking this Liu Yao outside, how could they have thought that someone would come to attack Tongguan.
At this moment, there was a burst of horses' hooves in the distance, which woke up the soldiers of Dong Zhuojun on the city wall from their sleep.
"Alert, someone is coming, someone is coming!" The captain of the city gate guard team hurriedly got up and shouted to the men beside him.
Then he immediately ran to the edge of the city wall, leaned out, and looked down, and saw that in the middle of the darkness, an army of three thousand men was approaching them. But who the hell is, because it was too dark, I couldn't see it clearly for a while.
"Who's coming, stop quickly, or I'm going to release the arrow!" The gatekeeper shouted. As for the so-called release of arrows, it is nothing more than scaring and scaring people. There were less than a hundred of them on the wall now, and even if they could shoot arrows, it would be useless.
"I am a general under General Li Dao, and I have important things to go to see my lord. And you won't hurry to open the gates and let me pass. One of the leading generals under the city wall stood up directly with a big sword and shouted loudly.
"My own people!" The gatekeeper was stunned. With his eyes wide open, he carefully looked at the people below, only to find that they were indeed wearing the same clothes as himself, and he immediately breathed a long sigh of relief. It's good to be your own people, so at least there won't be a fight. Who wants to fight a war in these years, but people will die if they fight. If only I could go without fighting every day. There is food to eat, and there is money to take, and that is the happiest thing.
"You wait. It's not my turn to call the shots in this matter, I'll go find General Niu Fu! The leader of the gatekeepers shouted loudly, and then called one of his men, and told him to go and bring Niu Fu quickly. It's not his turn to be a small soldier to call the shots for such a big thing as opening the city gate. You can call the shots within this Tongguan. It's just him.
The general under the walls was a little impatient. In a high-spirited tone, he shouted, "Give me speed, if it's too late to give the news to the lord, can you afford it!" ”
"Yes, yes!" The chief of the gatekeepers shouted flatteringly. The person below is Li Dao's henchman, and that's not something he can offend.
However, what he didn't see was that in the darkness, there was a triumphant smile on the face of the general under his helmet. The person who came was not Huang Xu or who. After a day and a night of traveling. He Huang Xu finally came to this Tong Pass. Naturally, the Dong Zhuojun behind him were also pretended by Liu Yao's Youzhou cavalry.
It didn't take long. The figure of Niu Fu appeared on the city wall, looking at the army below, he couldn't help frowning, you must know that now that Li Dao is attacking Huguan, how can he send so many soldiers and horses to see the lord.
"What is your last name, and what is your position in the army?" Niu Fu stood with his hands in his hands, looked at Huang Xu below, and asked.
"The villain is a partial general under General Li Wei, named An Cheng, who has seen General Niu Fu?" Huang Xu said respectfully. This Niu Fu is different from the previous creep. He is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and it can be said that his status in Dong Zhuo's army is only below Li Ru, and he can be a third person, and he has won the trust of Dong Zhuo. Otherwise, he would not have been sent to guard Tongguan.
Even if Li Dao saw him Niu Fu, he would have to keep his voice down, not to mention that he was now playing one of his Li Dao's subordinates.
"I've never heard of it!" Niu Fu muttered to himself. He Niu Fu has a noble status, how can he have a memory of a partial general under Li Wei, it is normal not to know. And even if he did know it, it wouldn't matter. Because the name Huang Xu said is indeed there.
Among the 60,000 captives that Liu Yao and the others brought back, there was a partial general named An Cheng, and he Huang Xu had already figured out this person's qiē. Therefore, he is not afraid of being interrogated.
"You said you were sent by that Li Dao, do you have a certificate?" Ushisuke asked.
Huang Xu hurriedly took out a token from his waist and said, "This is General Li Wei's half of the Tiger Talisman token, which can be used as a certificate." ”
Naturally, this half of the Tiger Talisman token was also obtained from his Li Dao's corpse, and it definitely can't be faked, if you add half of Dong Zhuo's side, you can make a complete Tiger Talisman. The ancients just liked to use the tiger talisman as an identity certificate, and there was nothing new at all, and they happened to be caught by Liu Yao. In order to successfully open the city gate of Tongguan this time, he Liu Yao has done a lot of work.
"Put the hanging basket!" Niu Fu commanded to the people around him, and then soon a hanging basket with a long rope was put down, and Huang Xu also stepped forward and put half of the tiger talisman in his hand.
Soon the tiger talisman was in Niu Fu's hands, Niu Fu was also a person who had seen the world, and he recognized at a glance that this was the tiger talisman he Li Dao. Then the people below are naturally the people sent by Li Wei, and the original doubts dissipated instantly for a while.
"What news do you have for your lordship?" But he, Niu Fu, did not open the city gate, but a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, and he looked at the Huang Xu below.
In his opinion, if Li Dao can send an army of 10,000 troops, then this news must be very important, so it is better to stop it himself than to let this credit be taken by him, which is the best.
Huang Xu secretly scolded that Niu Fu was shameless, it was naturally impossible for him to tell him any news, not to mention that he had no news at all, and if he said it, how could he enter Tongguan, it is estimated that he would be driven away directly.
"This, it's a matter of confidentiality, General Li said, the villain must tell the lord in person!" Huang Xu hesitated for a long time before he reluctantly spoke.
"Bastard! Don't you believe me Usuke? Immediately, Niu Fu was furious, "Don't say that you are a little general, even if he Li Ji comes in person, then you must be respectful to Lao Tzu." You are a little general, you dare to disobey me, and you can't die. ”
"General Niu spares his life!" Huang Xu hurriedly dismounted and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy. But at the moment, he was angry in his heart. But helplessly, for Liu Yao's plan, he could only pretend to be a nest at this time, but he had already made up his mind, and when he entered this Tongguan, he must slaughter this Niu Fu to vent his hatred.
"Then don't hurry up!" Niu Futoe shouted arrogantly, obviously very satisfied with Huang Xu's kneeling and begging for mercy.
Huang Xu also knew that if he didn't say anything today, he Niu Fu would never let himself, so he immediately rolled his eyes and said, "But this is what General Li asked me to sue the lord, if I sue General Niu, you ......."
Niu Fu's eyes lit up immediately, knowing that the kid below was afraid that Li Dao would make trouble for him at that time, so he immediately opened his mouth and promised, "Don't worry, with me covering you, then Li Dao won't dare to do anything to you." The meaning of his words is obvious, that is, let him Huang Xu not follow Li Dao in the future, and follow himself.
"Thank you, General Niu, thank you, General Niu!" Huang Xu said gratefully. But the disdain in his eyes can't be hidden.
Huang Xu raised his head, glanced at the thousands of people who came out of the city wall with Niu Fu, couldn't help frowning, and said with some hesitation, "General Niu, this matter is very important, be careful that the wall has ears." ”
Niu Fu was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at so many people around him, and also understood the meaning of Huang Xu, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no Liu Yao's spy here. It's better to let yourself know about such an important thing.
"Open the gates!" Niu Fu commanded loudly. Then he turned around, took only some of his henchmen, went down the city wall, and went to see Huang Xu.
At this moment, all he had in his heart was the confidential information in Huang Xu's mouth. As for security, he never thought about it. The following individuals are clearly Li Wei's subordinates, and they don't dare to do it if they have a hundred guts.
Soon, the huge gate of Tongguan slowly opened, Huang Xuqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart, waved his hand to the soldiers behind him, and each of the three thousand cavalry held the spear in his hand tightly, and slowly walked towards the Tongguan.
"I've seen General Niu!" As soon as Huang Xu entered Tongguan, he saw Niu Fu coming towards him with more than a dozen people, so he saluted him respectfully. Originally, Huang Xu planned to attack the city directly as soon as the city gate was opened, but now he had a better idea.
"Haha, Ansu is right, you are good!" Niu Fu patted Huang Xu's shoulder and said in appreciation. In that case, I almost didn't just say hurry up, and the news told me.
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Huang Xu's eyes with his head down, and he said, "General Niu, please come closer, and the villain will tell you the news!" ”
When Niu Fu heard this, he immediately leaned over excitedly.
And Huang Xu also leaned over and said lightly, "General Niu, in fact, I am the general's person!" ”
Immediately, before Niu Fu could react, the big knife in his hand had already slashed at Niu Fu's neck, slashing his head.
In an instant, the body of Niu Fu separated, blood was splattered, and the head rolled to the side, and his eyes were full of surprise.
"General Niu!" Niu Fu's henchmen were suddenly confused by this situation.
"Put the rocket, kill me!" Huang Xu shouted loudly. And several soldiers behind him lit up a few rockets and shot them into the sky. The rest of the people were led by Huang Xu to kill in Tongguan. (To be continued......)
