Chapter 63: The Tip of the Iceberg
(ps: Thanks for the tip from Cement Forest ACE.) )
************************
East of Yeyuan, before Cao Ren's camp.
Zhang Fei stood on his horse, while ordering his soldiers to shout insults and shouts, while looking at the camp in the distance, for some reason, he was always faintly uneasy.
A lieutenant general stepped forward and whispered to Zhang Fei: "General Zhang, Niu Jin has been in for a long time, but he has never shown up, should we attack it?" ”
Zhang Fei waved his hand and sighed: "No, there are only 3,000 people under my command, Wancheng's troops this time, to say the least, there are 30,000, the difference in strength is too great, it is feasible to call the battle of the generals, if it is a fortification, it is really difficult." ”
The lieutenant general frowned when he heard this: "But general, after Niu Jin was injured, he didn't come out again as soon as he went, and Cao Ren never showed up. ”
Zhang Fei shook his head when he heard this: "If Niu Jin is afraid of us, it is really such a stalemate, but it is a good thing, after all, the purpose of the eldest brother asked me to call the battle today is to delay Cao Ren, he and the second brother and others jointly sent troops to attack Xiahou Yuan, the more Niu Jin wasted time, the more he weighed our minds, it was really the best policy, but the general always felt that something seemed to be wrong, but what the specific place was, and some could not say." ”
Thinking of this, Zhang Fei's bearded face couldn't help shaking, and there was an indescribable blockage in his mind.
What a fucking grievance
After pondering for a long time, he suddenly saw Zhang Feilingtai suddenly wake up, and said to himself: "I am here to invite a battle to delay Cao Ren, but if Cao Ren has already led his troops to the eldest brother's place in advance, what will happen?" Hey, careless, regret it too late! Mistakes, what mistakes! ”
The adjutant general's face also changed greatly when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "General Zhang, since this is the case, the lord's side is bound to be in danger, and the general needs to order a retreat quickly, so I should go to help!" ”
"No!"
Zhang Fei raised his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "I have only carefully observed the deployment of this Dazhai, Cao Ren's garrison army left here is less than 10,000, if we retreat to my brother, but let this 10,000 people follow behind, it is not advisable, the eldest brother has the second brother, Zhang Jaw, Gao Ran and other famous generals, even if they do not win, they will not be defeated, we still need to continue to delay here!" Don't go and make trouble for the eldest brother! ”
"No"
Having said this, Zhang Fei couldn't help but sigh to himself, he lost the opportunity to defeat Xiahou Yuan today, and if he wanted to defeat him and Cao Ren in the future, he was afraid that it would be even more difficult
But if it is really like this, Cao Ren and other Cao generals will drag on, with the land of Runan County, how can they stay with it for a long time?
Where is the way out for our army? Zhang Fei couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.
********************
The words are divided into two ends, not to mention Liu Bei's attack on Runan, the battle situation is full of peaks and peaks, just talking about the side of Jiuli Mountain, Chang Feng after discussing with Yuan Shang and agreed, then led the resignation and left the mountain, and led the people home.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Lu Lingqi and Yuan Shang stood side by side, looking at Chang Feng who was getting farther and farther away, and couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in his heart.
"Do you really believe him?"
After being silent for a long time, Lu Lingqi slowly opened her mouth and expressed the question in her heart: "Chang Xian, this person is capricious, despicable and shameless, and has no faith at all, he promised to join forces with you today, but after a long time, maybe one day he will stab you in the back, and then you may not even know how you died, just like when my father was killed by Cao Cao, he immediately switched to Cao Cao, after two years, and now he wants to betray, for this person, you must always be on the embankment, even so, you also want to subdue him?" ”
Yuan Shang smiled when he heard this: "Compare me with your father, your analogy makes me very happy." ”…,
"The surname Yuan, you dare to take advantage of this girl?!" Lu Lingqi's eyes were glazed, and she seemed to be very dangerous.
Yuan Shang hurriedly changed the topic and said, "What kind of person is Chang Xuan, there is no disadvantage to me. It's just an empty promise, I won't suffer any loss at all, it's a big deal, it's just a shot or two, that's his loss. ”
Lu Lingqi said in surprise when she heard this: "Why? ”
Yuan Shang snorted and said, "Because he is too cunning, too treacherous, and too dangerous, a person like him, even if he doesn't rebel, Cao Cao will inevitably kill him sooner or later!" ”
Lu Lingqi was stunned when she heard this.
"However, although he is a bit despicable and shameless, his brain is very flexible, and his face is also very big, and the robbers in the whole world have a little friendship with him, if he uses it well, he will be of great help to our Yuan family in the future As for his capricious, despicable and shameless, without the characteristics of faith, in front of me, it is really like a floating cloud!"
Lu Lingqi couldn't help but be curious when she heard this, and said: "Such an insidious person, even Cao Cao doesn't want to stay for a long time, why are you not afraid?" ”
Yuan Shang patted his chest and said proudly: "Because I am more repetitive, more despicable, more shameless, and more discredited than him!" ”
Lu Lingqi's face suddenly showed deep surprise, and after thinking for a long time, she spoke slowly.
"Alas, I heard you confess to yourself, to be honest, I really regret it now, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for Lu Dao to join forces with you, a shameless person, to fight Cao, I think we'd better break up."
Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows: "Scattered? Why! Say good things, you say pick a pick, pick a pick? Do you feel a little responsible? If I want to regret it, I asked my father to write to the Son of Heaven and issue a holy decree to let the Tingwei Mansion handle you! ”
Lu Lingqi stared at Yuan Shang for a long time, and said gloomily: "This girl suddenly has a strong urge now, I really want to kick you off the top of this mountain."
Under the cliff, the autumn breeze is blowing, and the birds are attacking, and it seems to be endless
Yuan Shang swallowed a mouthful of spit, took two steps back and said, "Don't mess around, I'm just a joke, who are you and you?" Will the Son of Heaven have the leisure to take care of you? Laugh! ”
Lu Lingqi glared at Yuan Shang fiercely, and after a while, she suddenly smiled, and a warm smile rose on her pretty face, as if it could dissolve ice and snow and disperse dark clouds.
The leaders of several bandits standing not far away couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
It's been two years, since the big boss led the village affairs of Jiuli Mountain, none of the thieves has seen her smile like today, every moment of the day, the big boss's face is cold and cold, like a piece of ice that will not melt, cold and biting, cold and terrifying.
Where did the sun come out today? The big boss not only laughed, but he smiled so brightly.
Eat dirty, right?
While sighing at the beautiful smile of Lu Lingqi, all the thieves and bandits couldn't help but have a strong respect for Yuan Shang from their hearts, and they could melt this big leader like a 10,000-year-old iceberg and make her smile, although it was only for a moment, but it also required a lot of ability!
People who can do this kind of thing are either quick thinking and very good, or they are cheap to the extreme, and they all have a bastard taste in their bones.
This Yuan Sangongzi, he shouldn't belong to the second type, right?
At this moment, Lu Lingqi seemed to realize her gaffe, and her face was restored to the appearance of an iceberg beauty on weekdays, cold and very infiltrating.
"You haven't said it yet, why did you suddenly come to my Jiuli Cottage? Didn't you lead your troops to Runan to meet the big-eared thief? Isn't that the guy who won't take you in? ”
Yuan Shang smiled and said: "Miss Lu is too underestimated in the character, as soon as I arrived in Runan, I was warmly received by Liu Bei and others, a small banquet on three days, a big banquet on the fifth day, the banquet is not drunk and does not return, does not return and does not sleep, it has only been a few days of hard work, and my whole person has gained weight three times." ”…,
Lu Lingqi sneered and said, "Your surname Yuan is inevitably blowing too much, with Liu Bei's hypocritical temperament, how can you have a good time with a prodigal son like you?" ”
Yuan Shang let out a long sigh and said with emotion: "Perhaps, this is the so-called fate, this trip to Runan, I got along with Liu Bei and others very well, Mi Zhu, Gong Du, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, especially Zhang Fei, and I simply hated to see each other late, I can't wait to knock my head on the ground and become brothers with different surnames, it is really touching, Liu Bei also gave me hundreds of war horses, I don't want one, I gave them all for nothing, which made people a little embarrassed." ”
Lu Lingqi's eyes widened in surprise when she heard this, and she said, "Liu Bei is in a county of peace, and in such a tight situation, he actually gave you hundreds of war horses?" He's not crazy! ”
"The woman's family is not knowledgeable, isn't it? If you don't say that, how can people get mixed with the emperor's uncle, and you can only be the leader of thieves? Reluctantly! ”
Lu Lingqi: ""
After a while, Lu Lingqi suddenly remembered something, gritted her teeth and slowly spoke.
"The surname Yuan"
Yuan Shang turned his head lightly and said with a smile: "What does Miss Lu have to say?" ”
"You've been chattering here for a long time, and you still haven't told me your purpose of going to Jiuli Cottage"
Yuan Shang's smile suddenly froze.
"bastard! Hurry up and tell me the right thing, no matter how poor the vernacular, my aunt and grandmother will light your sky lantern! ”
