Chapter 949: The Huns are coming
Zhou Budo went back to Runan City, and that night he went to the place where Cheng Yu lived and asked to see Cheng Yu.
"Huh? What is the matter with this week's late-night visit? Cheng Yu was puzzled.
"He didn't say it, he just said that he had something important to see you, my lord!" Cheng Yu's subordinates replied.
"Okay, go and let him in!" Cheng Yu waved his hand and said to his subordinates.
"Yes!" Soon Zhou Budo over there was brought up.
"Lord Cheng Yu, I have something important to discuss with adults!" Zhou Budo said straight to the point as soon as he came.
"Huh?" Seeing Zhou Budo looking left and right, he had scruples, and immediately Cheng Yu asked his subordinates to retreat and shield the left and right, and then said to Zhou Budo, "Lord Zhou, you can talk about it now!" ”
"Lord Cheng Yu, this time the stakes are very high, please forgive me for being rude!" Zhou Budo immediately told Cheng Yu everything about the supply of grain and grass.
"Is that true?" Cheng Yu was also taken aback by Zhou Budo's words.
"Don't doubt it, don't dare to say it, it's true!" Zhou Budo was counting on this matter to move to Cao Pi, how dare he tell a lie.
After thinking about it, because this matter involves Cao Cao's two sons, one is Cao Pi and the other is Cao Chong, and Cheng Yu didn't dare to make a conclusion directly.
"Good! Early tomorrow morning, you and I will set off for Xiangcheng immediately! Cheng Yu said to Zhou Budo,
The three cities that Zhou Budo said were Nandun, Xiangcheng, and Qiao County, and Xiangcheng were the closest.
"Yes!" Zhou Budo immediately nodded excitedly.
"What Cangshu doesn't do, I'll help you do it!" In Zhou Budo's opinion, as long as Cao Pi's mouth and face are torn apart. Let King Wei know. Waiting for the king of Wei to remove Cao Pi's right to inherit. Then Cao Pi didn't dare to attack Cao Chong's mother and son.
Early the next morning, Zhou Budo and the others went out of the city, and the wind and dust servants did not startle the snake and went towards Xiangcheng, after they left, there was also a person at the city gate, he went directly to a place in the city that said Wu Mansion, looked around, and saw that no one walked in.
"Did you really read carefully?" That's right, this mansion is Wu Zhen's mansion.
"Look carefully, sir. It's that Zhou Budo and the new Lord Cheng Yu, they went out of the city together! The man who had been guarding the city gate said to Wu Qian.
"Humph! Sure enough, this week, I still don't give up! Wu Zhen said coldly, for Cao Chong, Wu Zhen is even more ruthless is Zhou Budo, because the two armies clashed, it was all handsome to handsome, and generals to generals, Wu Zhen did not have hatred for Cao Chong, but it was different for Zhou Budo.
What's more, Zhou Budo once threw him Wu Zhen into prison.
"Your Excellency. Do we need to stop them? Wu Zhen's subordinate on the side asked.
"No!" Wu Zhen waved his hand.
"Huh?" The subordinates were also stunned, wasn't this Wu Zhen imprisoned before because of this. Why don't you stop it now?
"Hmph, that week is just a clown jumping beam, I'm not afraid of shadows, why care about them!" Wu Zhen is very confident, and the source of his confidence lies in the letter that Cao Pi sent him.
……
Xiangcheng, granary!
Zhou Budo and Cheng Yu arrived at Xiangcheng early in the morning, directly took the token, and asked Xiangcheng's Taishou to open the city gate and open the granary, and they wanted to count the grain and grass.
Zhou Budo, who was originally full of confidence, was indeed dumbfounded when he waited for the granary to be opened.
Two days ago, when he first came, Zhou Budo was still empty and could run mice, but now it was full, and those white rice, as well as the forage for war horses, were piled up throughout the granary.
"Impossible!" Zhou Budo didn't believe it, and opened other granaries one after another, but they were all stable, all of them were full of grain and grass, even if there were a few that were not full, it was more than half.
"Lord Zhou? Do you really think that the old man is idle? Cheng Yu had a hint of gloom, he thought that Zhou Budo was cheating him this time.
He Cheng Yu is so old, he is really an old-timer in Cao Ying, even if Cao Pi and Cao Chong see Cheng Yu, they have to call Mr. respectfully.
"No, it's impossible, Lord Cheng Yu, this granary was completely empty when I came here a few days ago!" Zhou Budo still didn't believe it, pointing to those grains and grasses and said.
"Min Taishou, you should know, that day was the gate of the granary you opened for me, and all of the granaries in this granary were empty, and even a few rats starved to death!" Zhou Bu questioned Xiang Cheng on the side, Min Jun.
"I, I! Lord Zhou, didn't you come here a few days ago? This Min Jun Min Taishou stuttered a little at first, but then he slipped into words.
"Min Jun, even you are Cao Pi's person?" Zhou Budo was angry, originally Cao Pi and Cao Chong fought for power in this Cao army, and these ministers were considered to be fighting each other, and this Min Jun was the one who went to Xiangcheng to join Cao Chong in Zhou Budo.
It was also Zhou Budo who he took the initiative to find and told Zhou Budo about the situation of the granary in the city.
I didn't expect this person to defect so quickly.
You can't blame Min Jun, if Cao Chong is still in Runan now, Min Jun will go all the way to the dark, but who made you Cao Chong stupid and go back to Xudu.
He Min Jun still has a big family behind him, and he doesn't want to be buried with him Cao Chong, so soon our Min Taishou will defect.
"Lord Zhou, I'm still very busy, if you don't have anything to do, I'll go first!" Cheng Yu was played by Zhou Budo like this, of course, this face is not good-looking.
"No, Lord Cheng Yu, don't leave yet!" Zhou Budo is worthy of being a person with superb intelligence, he looks at these grains and grasses, those traces.
And the ones that haven't had time to dispose of yet.
"These grains and grass are all new grains, and they are not here for a long time, but they have just been transported!" Zhou Budo grasped the key.
In this city, Qiao County and Nandun City have so much grain and grass, for a while, he Cao Pi didn't have the one that he could get together, but now he can fill it up so quickly.
Then it means a problem, he got those grains and grass back.
"What about Liaodong?!" Zhou Budo can't care about so much, "Lord Cheng Yu." These grains and grasses were transferred to Liaodong. It was he Cao Pi who got it back from the middle of Liaodong! ”
Zhou Budo was in a hurry, and he was already incoherent.
"It shows that Liaodong is not Liaodong. What does Liaodong grain and grass have to do with this? Cheng Yu became more and more displeased.
"No, Master Cheng Yu, listen to me!"
"Hmph, it's nonsense, the old man doesn't have the time to tear it down with you!" Cheng Yu said angrily, the reason why he was expelled by Cao Cao was to help Cao Chong allocate grain and grass, so let's start with this Xiangcheng.
A transfer order went out, and the endless supply of grain and grass from Xiangcheng began to go towards Cao Cao's army. These grains and grass are enough for Cao Cao's army to spend more than a month.
Zhou Budo still wanted to see Cheng Yu, but Cheng Yu didn't want to see Zhou Budo, he thought that Zhou Budo wanted to treat him Cheng Yu as a gunman, he Cheng Yu was a person who hated to get involved in this kind of thing, and he was immediately angry when he was "teased" by Zhou Budo, if he didn't care about Cao Chong, he might have to let Zhou Budo go away without eating.
How can I go to see Zhou Budo?
"Hey!" Zhou Budo was extremely remorseful, he calculated everything, but he didn't calculate, this Cao Pi actually had a defense.
Since you can't bring down Cao Pi. Then Zhou Budo had no choice but to save Cao Chong.
"Lujiang!" This is where Zhou Budo wants to go, and he can only find His Royal Highness King Wei. Then Cao Chong will be saved.
Liaodong Guanwai
Since the tiger and leopard rode and first boarded the camp, and went out of the pass from here to pursue the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, the entire border pass was peaceful, and the people were able to live and work in peace and contentment.
"Lao Li. When will this military salary be paid? An old soldier guarding the border asked another, even older soldier.
"It should be soon!" Lao Li responded.
"Soon? It's almost impossible to open the pot at home, you and I are the work of this head pinned to the waist, don't be short yesterday, and you won't be able to get it if you die today, so it's not cheap for those who are officials! ”
"What does the crow's mouth say! Those who are officials will not be greedy for your dozens of dollars. The other pushed the humane.
"Maybe there's something delaying on the way!" The military salary of the entire border pass has not been paid, and looking at them and praising them, only Lao Li Tou, this veteran who has been in the border pass for many years, and has followed one master after another, and has fought countless battles, is frowning.
For not only was the food not paid, but the supply in the army seemed to be decreasing. Although it is less, Lao Li Tou can feel it.
What the hell is going on?
"You said that after General Xiahou Chun and General Zhang He went out, our border gate seemed to be a lot less dangerous all of a sudden!"
"Why, you don't want to be safe, you are a cheap bone, you have to be shrouded in horse leather!"
"you, you're dying on the battlefield!"
"Lao Li Shu, what do you say this war looks like!" A recruit asked Lao Li Toudao.
"This war is not a good thing!" Lao Li Tou shook his head and said.
"But don't they all say that only by fighting can they be promoted and rich?" The recruits still have a kind of longing.
"Hehe, make a fortune? Most of them are in the coffin! Lao Li Tou shook his head and said, once the success is achieved, how many people can die before they can get rich.
"Oh!" The recruits seemed to understand whether they understood or not, and they stood on this ancient Great Wall and looked at the north again.
The yellow sand, which was originally endless, seemed to have something more this time.
"Huh?" The recruits looked at the little ideas in the distance, more and more.
"Knock knock!" Several veterans were resting, but they were suddenly woken up by this voice, "Who is playing the drums, and let people not sleep!" The look of dissatisfaction was palpable.
"No, not drumming!" Only Lao Li Tou is very vigilant, how can such a feeling be drumming.
"Dongdong, knock!" Even the ground shook, and the noise grew louder and louder.
"Old Uncle Li, old Uncle Li, yes, yes, yes!" The recruit suddenly ran over and shouted at the veterans, but before he could fully speak, he heard a whoosh, and the recruit, who had only arrived at the border not long ago, fell headlong with a long arrow strung above his head.
"Enemy attack!" Lao Li Tou and the others shouted.
They climbed to the edge of the ancient city wall, and saw only the dense figures, the cavalry, countless cavalry, these cavalrymen, they were wearing leather jackets, and they were holding scimitars in their hands.
There are all kinds of bird feathers stuck in his head.
"Huns, it's Huns!" Lao Li Tou is well-informed, and he can see at a glance what kind of people these are.
"Hurry up, light the beacon, light the beacon!" 3 Under the influence of Lao Li Tou, the wolf smoke on this beacon tower slowly rose.
"Haha, haha, I'm Yuan Shang back!" Although there are chicken feathers on his head, but when he opens his mouth, it is the language of the authentic Han people, this person is Yuan Shang, who has traveled thousands of miles to be chased by the tiger and leopard cavalry and the first camp, which is called a miserable, and his soldiers have been killed and injured countless times.
He was separated from his eldest brother, and he was chased separately by Xiahou Chun and Zhang He, and when they were together, they were chased together, which can be described as extremely miserable.
In the end, Yuan Tan was unable to escape this death knot and was killed by Xiahou Chun, but he Yuan Shang found the Xiongnu's Zuoxian King, and he survived.
"General Yuan Shang, I hope the general will not break his word!" This Zuo Xianwang is really not a simple character.
Among the princes of the Xiongnu, the status is the highest, and the prince is often called the "four corners" together with the king of the left valley, the king of the right valley, and the king of the right valley, which is more expensive than the rest of the princes.
This Zuoxian King, called Mao Dun, this person had invaded the Central Plains a few years ago, and it happened to be the Luoyang City Rebellion, when Dong Zhuo's army was defeated, he took the famous Cai Wenji to him and took him prisoner.
So it's not an exaggeration to say that he's half Han.
"Don't worry, Mao Dunshan Yu, enter the customs like this, as long as you help me take revenge, you can take this Chinese land!" Yuan Shang's sale of land is called a refreshing sale, anyway, these are not his, if they are sold, they will be sold, and he Yuan Shang is now out of the way. It's better to be shameless than dead.
"Good!" Mao Dun is also very happy, he is half a Han person, and he is also a Han person, this person is not only good at Chinese, but also knows that the Han people hate the most is foreign enemies, whether it is Liu Mang or Cao Cao, if there is a foreign enemy invaded, it must be unanimous to the outside, after all, it is called a brotherly dispute, and the outside is low.
Therefore, in order not to inspire the resistance of those Han people, Mao Dun needs a banner, and Yuan Shang is this banner, and the banner they used to enter the customs is to help Yuan Shang take revenge and kill Cao Cao, as for the territory that was laid, then it naturally fell into the hands of the Huns.
He coveted the land of the Han people for not a day or two.
Now there's finally a chance.
As for the soldiers and horses of Xiahou Chun and Zhang He, they could no longer stop the army of the Huns.
This Zuoxian King Maodun originally only had 100,000 men in armor, but this time I don't know where he got the reinforcements, and the entire Xiongnu army reached as many as 400,000.
Zhang He and Xiahou Chun are fierce generals, and no matter how elite the soldiers and horses under them are, they can't fight forty of them at a time, so they can only delay their retreat.
I thought that relying on some levels in the pass could restrain Zuo Xianwang Maodun, who knew that there was such a traitor as Yuan Shang.
Yuan Shang has the map of the three continents and the thirty-two counties of Hebei in his hands, and this Mao Dun is really a flat river. (To be continued......)
