Chapter 247: Blizzard (2)

Before October, a heavy snowfall suddenly hit and the temperature dropped sharply.

The snow was earlier than usual and more intense...... Snow, it's huge! From the beginning of the afternoon, by the time it got dark, it showed no signs of stopping, but it grew bigger and bigger, and it was quite a posture of mixing heaven and earth into one color. By midnight, the snow becomes even more staggering.

The snow was up to my knees, and every step I took on the snow required extraordinary effort.

Liaodong County, Xiangping.

That is, the location of Liaoyang City in the later generations.

Xiangping is the seat of Liaodong County, and in the snowy night, it exudes a majestic atmosphere.

At the top of the city, there was silence.

The Liaodong soldiers hid in the roll holes, or in groups of three or five, gathered together and lit bonfires to keep warm.

In the city, there was silence.

With such a heavy snowfall, it is impossible for anyone to walk around outside, closing the door early one by one, and hiding in the bed to warm up and sleep.

"This year's snow, it's really early."

"Yes, I remember that last year it seemed that the first snow came on October 18, but this year it was not yet October, and it snowed heavily. I saw that the snow was quite heavy, and I couldn't figure it out for the next night. I heard that the crops in Xinchang and Anshi have not yet been harvested, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get back much grain after this snowfall. It's not good, this winter, I'm afraid that many people will freeze to death and starve to death. ”

"Who said it wasn't ......"

"This heaven and earth are abnormal, and there will be demons.

You say, could it be that something is going to happen? ”

"What could happen? I said you bastard, Hugh is talking nonsense here.

If it is known from above, you will not be punished for the crime of bewitching the public. Until then. I'm afraid no one can protect you, be careful yourself. ”

Han Niu is a young man with five big and three thick, and he looks quite honest.

He craned his neck and muttered, "I didn't say that." A few days ago, there were rumors in the city: Uncle Bai Wang, the flying bear is now, and the snow is set to be chaotic. I heard that there was an Uncle Liu Huang in Liaoxi. He went on a killing spree over there, killing the Karasuma people and wolves, and now they are negotiating. Maybe this heavy snow was brought by Uncle Liu Huang to warn us. If you don't get it right, Uncle Liu Huang will come over soon. ”

"Han Niu, you're crazy, don't you shut up?"

The officer, who looked like a manbo, slapped Han Niu on the head.

"Just listen to these words, but don't talk nonsense. If you don't get it right, you're going to lose your head. ”

"Yes. Just listen to it. Can it still be true?

By the way, who's going to patrol the city? It's said that there will be a patrol of the city...... That's right, Han Niu. It seems that it is your duty to patrol the city. ”

Han Niu looked unhappy and snorted. He tightened his coat, and then picked up a cloak of animal skins from the side and draped it over his body.

"All Arise, Rise Up......"

He shouted loudly, shouting at a few soldiers who were huddled aside to keep warm, and then walked out of the hole.

Facing him, a strong wind struck, which made this foolish cow shiver.

He subconsciously grabbed the cloak on his body, and then wrapped the long knife in his hand with a piece of animal skin, and appeared along the gallop with five soldiers.

At the head of the city, the wind lanterns swayed in the wind and snow.

Han Niu took the people, walked to the female wall and looked out, and then walked quickly along the city, and then prepared to go down.

The wind is too strong in this city!

Han Niu put hot air in his hands, and prepared to go down to the city to warm up.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a soldier next to me shouting, "Captain, there seems to be someone outside." ”

"What nonsense, where will anyone come at this time?"

Han Niu said so, but he was still able to glance out of the city.

From the darkness at the end of the wilderness outside the city, a convoy of convoys marched through the snow.

"Junhou, there seems to be someone outside the city!"

Han Niu hurriedly ran to the inner wall and shouted at the cave under the city. Then, he came to the female wall and looked out of the city.

Then he saw that the convoy was getting closer and closer, and there was about a horse and soldiers.

However, they were driving dozens of large carts, which looked heavy, and it was extremely difficult for them to travel through the snow.

"Who are you?"

"We are the defenders of the Liao team, and in the name of my general, we are transporting grain and grass.

There was heavy snow on the road, and the trip was delayed, please open the city gate quickly and let me wait in...... Damn it's snowing so much, it's freezing to death. ”

The soldiers under the city spoke fluent Liaodong dialect.

The Liao team, located in the west of Xiangping, is also an important grain production area in eastern Liaodong because of its proximity to the Great Liaoshui.

Han Niu was about to open his mouth to ask again, but the military marquis had already climbed the city tower, stood behind the female wall and looked outside, and said with an indifferent look: "Open the city, it's not easy." This gang of rammers is estimated to have arrived late, otherwise they would not have hurried overnight...... Hehe, if you don't get it right, you still have to be questioned. Han Niu, go down to Kaecheng, Hugh should ask more, let them in early, and rest early. ”

"Junhou, is it Captain Wang?"

With an impatient expression, the military marquis scolded: "It's a ball...... The guy disappeared in the afternoon, but he asked us to be here on duty. At this time, it is estimated that people are already sleeping in the bed those little ladies, your mother's report, isn't it looking for death? ”

It can be heard that the military marquis has a lot of dissatisfaction with this captain Wang.

After hearing this, Han Niu nodded in agreement.

He led the men down the tower and ordered the gates to be opened.

I saw the convoy slowly driving into the city, and then along the long street, straight to the school yard in the city.

Looking at the soldiers escorting the convoy, Han Niu always felt that something was not right. However, he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Han Niu, let's go home later."

"Huh?"

"Isn't your mother-in-law sick? Looking at the weather, it is estimated that no one will come over, so you can go back early and take care of your mother-in-law. ”

After the marquis finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Leaving Han Niu alone in the snow, he felt a little strange.

Why is the military marquis so good at talking today?

He thought about it, scratched his head, wrapped himself in a cloak, and left the city gate in the wind and snow, and walked home.

After Han Niu left. Soon the gates were restored to peace.

After inspecting the city, the marquis hurried down the gallop road and hurried to a wooden hut in the city gate.

There was a bonfire lit in the shack, and a middle-aged man. I eat wine while grilling a fire.

"Master Tian, according to your orders, everything is done."

The face of the military marquis. showed a nervous expression, and said softly: "Is it really okay like this?" ”

"Old Ma, now that it's happened, do you have a way back?

Don't worry, when did my Tian Shao pit his own brother? Later, if there is movement in the city, you must not run out stupidly...... Let me tell you straight, after tonight, Liaodong will change its master. Gongsun Du Lao'er. Don't want to live until dawn tomorrow! It worked. You're the first thing. When the time comes, I will ask for credit for you in front of the emperor. There must be no less than one lieutenant in the office. ”

When Ma Junhou heard this, he immediately grinned.

"Master Tian is a bright person, and he can work for Master Tian. What kind of bounty? ”

"Okay, protect yourself. After tonight, you're done. ”

After Tian Shao finished speaking, he stood up and walked outside the house.

Marquis Ma sent Tian Shao out of the shack, and when he saw him board the carriage, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This Tian Shao was originally a wealthy businessman in Xiangping.

Last year, because he offended Gongsun Du, he almost gave his life.

Later, thanks to the intercession of a friend, although he saved his life in the end, he used half of the family property in exchange. Not only that, but he was even broken by Gongsun Gong, the second son of Gongsun Du, so that he is limping and quite inflexible when he walks now.

In the early years of Ma Junhou, he was saved by Tian Shao.

This time Tian Shao found him, and he didn't refuse...... But in this heart, after all, I was a little panicked, and I always felt that things were a little dangerous. But since he has already boarded Tian Shao's ship, there is no way back. Who is Gongsun Du? The guy was brutal and suspicious. Even if Ma Junhou is dense at this time, there will be no good fruit to eat. If he doesn't get it right, he will be destroyed by the Gongsun Du.

Leave it to fate!

Ma Junhou did not stay in the shack to keep warm, but found an excuse and sneaked home.

At the same time, Tian Shao also returned home, and as soon as he entered the door, his face changed and he went straight to the middle hall.

"General Wei, the people have arrived!"

In the middle hall, there was a young man sitting upright, and it was Wei Yan.

Tian Shao came in, Wei Yan also stood up, nodded at him, and then waved his hand and said, "Yang Lin, release the rocket, prepare for action!" ”

"Whoa!"

A military general walked out of the courtyard quickly.

Wei Yan nodded towards Tian Shao, "Mr. Tian, thanks to your help this time, we can proceed smoothly."

Please rest at home, when the morning dawns, the second son will arrive in Xiangping, and I will definitely introduce Mr. to the second son at that time. ”

"General Wei."

"Huh?"

"Please spare Gongsun Gong's life for me, and I will take other people's heads with my own hands."

Wei Yan nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, as long as I meet that Gongsun Gong, I will leave his life for Mr. Tian." ”

"Well, please!"

Tian Shao arched his hand and slammed it to the ground.

Wei Yan returned the salute and strode out of the middle hall.

With Tian Shao's order, the sixteen-corner gate of Tianfu was opened, and the soldiers who had already mixed into the city with Wei Yan rushed out.

They were all dressed in white robes, but they wore a red shawl.

Wei Yan held a large knife and walked out of the main gate.

At this moment, the school field in the distance suddenly burst into flames......

The shouts of killing suddenly rang out, breaking the silence of the snowy night.

The soldiers who came out of Tianfu quickly gathered in a line on the long street, and followed Wei Yan straight to Taishoufu.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In the Xiangping school field, the flames are rolling.

The fire borrows the wind, and the wind fuels the fire...... The heavy snowfall, instead of extinguishing the fire, spread rapidly under the impetus of the wind and snow.

Holding a golden-backed chopping knife in his hand, Pound led a sergeant out of the school yard.

A group of Liaodong soldiers rushed over to him, and the first lieutenant shouted and asked, "Who are you, why don't you go to fight the fire?" ”

The lieutenant shouted as he ran.

The corners of Pang De's mouth twitched, and he shouted: "Hanyang Pang Lingming is here, borrow your head." ”

Before he could finish speaking, he stepped forward. A knife slashed the lieutenant to the ground. At the same time, a Han army behind him marched in formation and killed anyone he saw. This one of the soldiers. It was Zhuge Liang who borrowed from Lu Lan to trap the old pawn of the camp. These old soldiers trapped in the camp, after they were attached to Liu Chuang, Lu Bu gave them to Lu Lan.

Zhuge Liang's sneak attack on Xiangping this time took three full months to prepare......

He bought Tian Shao first. And through the hands of Guò Tian Shao, he arranged for 800 Ruishi to mix into Xiangping. Then he bought the marquis of Ma Jun through Guò Tian Shao, so that Pang De could send the things that ignited the fire into the city. As a general, he should know the sky and geography. Zhuge Liang has followed Liu Chuang for some years, although he can't do things like in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", when he built Qixingtai to borrow the east wind, he communicated with the locals. It is speculated that the weather is abnormal this year. The first snow will come early. Therefore, preparations have been made since August.

The battle of Louzishan ended, and the meeting began.

Everyone's attention was focused on Yang Le, but no one expected it. Zhuge Liang actually took advantage of such a heavy snow to attack Liaodong.

Pound's sudden shot. It also caused chaos in the school field.

"Enemy attack, there is enemy attack ......"

Liaodong soldiers, shouting loudly.

However, in the face of the well-trained and prepared Tiger Ben, they quickly collapsed......

The fire is raging, and the school yard is in chaos.

After Pang De dragged the military horses in the school field, he also gave Wei Yan enough time.

He had already figured out the roads in Xiangping City, and went straight to Taishoufu. Along the way, he encountered several patrols who wanted to rescue the school field, but they were defeated by Wei Yan with a devastating momentum. The sound of crying and scolding echoed in the sky above Xiangping.

In the distance, the sky above the school field was lit red by the flames.

Wei Yan knew that Pang De must have already made a move, and the next thing to do was to see his means!

To be honest, walking in the snow is a very difficult task. Fortunately, Wei Yan and the others were also prepared, so although the road was difficult, it did not have much impact on him. From afar, I saw the front of the Taishou Mansion, the lights were bright, and people were shouting and neighing.

The fire in the school field alarmed Gongsun Du.

Gongsun Du's age is not small......

After dark, go to bed early. Who knows, when he slept in a daze, he was woken up. Knowing that there was a fire in the city, Gongsun Du was also shocked.

He immediately guessed who the person who attacked Xiangping was.

I think that at the beginning, when Liu Chuang first arrived in Liaoxi, after Yuan Shaobai Liaodong was guarded, Gongsun Du had extremely strong hostility towards Liu Chuang.

The Gongsun clan is a strong man in Liaodong, who first started as pirates and later took root in Liaodong.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion, Youzhou was also involved...... Gongsun Du's father, Gongsun Yan, took advantage of the opportunity to gather his soldiers and horses, quickly seized Liaodong, and killed the Liaodong Taishou at that time. Later, the imperial court was in turmoil, and there were first ten permanent servants who fought with He Jin, and then Dong Zhuo entered Beijing.

Whether it was He Jin, Zhang Rangyi or Dong Zhuo, they didn't have the energy to deal with the Gongsun clan.

This also made the Gongsun clan quickly gain a firm foothold in Liaodong, and later befriended Liu Yu...... Liu Yu, whose name is Bo'an, is a native of Donghai County, Xuzhou, who was promoted to filial piety in the early years, and later moved to Youzhou Mu, and is also a relative of the Han family. He is not an extremely tough person, and after taking office, it coincided with Zhang Chunzhang's rebellion in Youzhou. In order to suppress Zhang Chun's rebellion, Liu Yu didn't want to provoke the Gongsun clan too much.

So, he appointed Gongsun Du as the Taishou of Liaodong.

After that, the Gongsun clan had an excuse to make a big show in Liaodong.

For Liaodong, Liu Yu didn't care very much...... After all, it was a remote place, and there was really no need for him to raise swords for this remote place.

Therefore, Gongsun Du regarded Liaodong as his own territory.

Liu Chuang's arrival was clearly to rob him of his territory, how could Gongsun Du have a good face with Liu Chuang?

Who knows, after Liu Chuang arrived in Liaoxi, Gen did not plan to come to Liaodong to take up a job, but instead started a battle in Liaoxi and confronted the Karasuma people. This was beyond Gongsun Du's expectations. Later, Liu Chuang sent Chen Qun as an envoy to Liaodong and told Gongsun Du: I have no intention of competing with you for Liaodong, the son of Nalaosh. I just want to get a foothold in Liaoxi, and I will have the opportunity to return to the Central Plains in the future, so you don't have to worry.

If it was just words, Gongsun Du would naturally not believe it.

But the problem is that Liu Chuang is really fighting with Badun in western Liaoning, with a posture of wanting to stay in western Liaoning.

This also made Gongsun Du gradually dispel his suspicion of Liu Chuang......

But now!

Gongsun Du came to his senses all of a sudden.

What to base in Liaoxi and what to return to the Central Plains is a lie! Liu Chuang's real purpose is Liaodong...... It's just that Liu Chuang also knows that Gongsun Du is hostile to him, and if he enters Liaodong so directly, Gongsun Du will definitely set up all kinds of problems for him.

Whether or not Gongsun Du can be eradicated is one thing, and the most important thing is that Liu Chuang is unwilling to delay so much time.

Competing with Gongsun Du is bound to be a protracted matter.

The Battle of Guandu was about to kick off, and Liu Chuang knew that if he could not stabilize the situation in Liaodong before the Battle of Guandu began, it would inevitably become extremely difficult to return to Liaoxi in the future. Therefore, he adopted Zhuge Liang's plan and decided to attack Liaodong.

Gongsun Du wanted to understand the mystery of this, and he couldn't help but be furious.

It's worth it, you Liu Chuang from beginning to end, just treating me like a fool and teasing me.

I was ready to lend you food, but you calculated me like this...... Gongsun Du hurriedly put on his clothes and immediately mobilized the soldiers and horses in the palace to prepare to retreat the enemy. Who knows, before the soldiers and horses were assembled, Wei Yan had already killed in front of the Taishou Mansion. Gongsun Du was also startled, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop them with me." ”

Before the words fell, a young general came out with a gun and pounced on Wei Yan.

This young general, named Gongsun Huang, is the eldest son and second grandson of Gongsun Du. Gongsun Du has two sons, the eldest son Gongsun Kang and the second son Gongsun Gong.

And Gongsun Kang also has two sons under his knees, the eldest son Gongsun Yuan and the second son Gongsun Huang.

Gongsun Du especially likes Gongsun Huang, and this Gongsun Huang has the style of his year...... Although he is young, he is born with divine power and is brave. Therefore, Gongsun Du has always kept Gongsun Huang by his side, and even hand-in-hand Gongsun Huang's martial arts, which is extremely favored.

Gongsun shook his horse and pounced on Wei Yan, his face was hideous in the firelight.

"How dare a dog thief invade my city, your second master is here, and he won't take his life."

As he spoke, Gongsun Huang came to Wei Yan.

Wei Yan didn't have a mount, seeing Gongsun Huang rushing over, he was just about to raise his sword to meet him, but he didn't want the ground to slippery, Gongsun Huang's mount suddenly lost its front hooves, and fell to his knees on the ground.

Seeing this situation, how could Wei Yan let it go?

He laughed loudly, stepped forward, and dropped his knife in his hand......
