Chapter 51: Deep Doubts

After the night banquet, the entire Runan County began to prepare for the dispatch of troops to capture Wancheng and Yingchuan.

It's no wonder that the side of the couch allows others to snore? This is true for both Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Early in the morning of the second day, Liu Bei summoned his subordinate civil and military cadres to the main hall to discuss and arrange the expedition of military affairs.

Governor Guan Yu's whole army drilled day after day to boost morale and strengthen the army.

Mi Zhu has purchased grain and straw to enrich military supplies, and has been waiting to be used.

Sun Qian managed the officials of the whole monarch, pacified the people's hearts, and comforted the people.

The guards Chen went to the general manager of the city's public security, and seriously rectified it, so as not to make changes.

Zhou Cang cleaned up the city defense and strengthened the defense.

Jian Yong recruited new soldiers to enrich the reserve of the rear army.

Sekihei trains recruits to be ready to call at any time.

Liu Bei sits in charge of the overall situation and directs and dispatches

After settling down in Runan County, Zhang Jaw and Gao Lan's second general took matters into their own hands, practicing five thousand elite horsemen in shifts every day, strengthening training, and not relaxing, so that they could devote themselves to the battle at any time.

As for Yuan Shang himself, after negotiating with Liu Bei, he agreed on the strategy of sending troops north to attack Cao Cao and mutual benefit, he personally went out and led the elite Yuan army of 100 cavalry under his command, and the 100 cavalry led by Zhang Fei of Liu Beijun, to Yangzhai, the capital of Yingchuan, to explore the reality of Xiahou Yuan's army, and by the way to see if he could find out the enemy's movements.

More than 200 people traveled day and night, secretly day and night, and finally arrived at the border of Yangzhai County, Yingchuan within two days.

Through getting along in the past two days, Yuan Shang and Zhang Fei are already quite familiar, Yuan Shang is humorous and talkative, Zhang Fei's temper is resolute and bold, and the two temperaments of the south and the north are barely compatible when they meet together.

Therefore, the two of them didn't talk like they had so many scruples when they first met, and they were quite complacent.

It is precisely because of this that on this day, Yuan Shang asked Zhang Fei a question that he had been deeply buried in his heart for a long time, but it was always inconvenient to ask in public

"Dare to ask General Yide, Zhao Yun of your army, General Zhao Zilong doesn't know where he is? Why haven't I seen him since I arrived in Runan? ”

Zhao Yun is more or less Yuan Shang's little idol, when Yuan Shang came to Runan County, he really wanted to meet him, but after coming for a long time, why did he always seem to have no such person.

This question can be described as a huge pimple in Yuan Shang's heart, and today he finally took the opportunity to be alone with Zhang Fei to blurt out an inquiry.

Listening to Yuan Shang's question, Zhang Fei's big eyes couldn't help but narrow deeply.

Turning his head and quietly looking at Yuan Shang for a long time, Zhang Fei slowly spoke: "You also know Zhao Zilong?" ”

"Well, this" Yuan Shang pondered for a while, and immediately smiled and made up nonsense: "Back then, Hebei was the second strongest to compete for power, my father and Gongsun Chan can be described as chess opponents, will meet good talents, the two sides have played too many times, so that they are very familiar with each other, in the next I had the honor to see both sides of General Zhao on the battlefield, General Zhao has an excellent demeanor, strong martial arts, admirable, Yuan Shang admires it, today I want to be strong with it, I don't know if it can be convenient?" ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, his face sank slightly, just because Yuan Shangshicai's mouth mentioned Gongsun Zhan.

When Liu, Guan, and Zhang were in the Hebei Plain, they were taken care of by Gongsun Zhan a lot, and they were old friends, and their feelings were not deep.

However, the past is gone, Gongsun Chan is dead after all, they can't be embarrassed by Yuan Jun because of this, not to mention that now they are united with Yuan Jun and the north and south to fight against Cao Cao is the right way to survive. …,

Although Zhang Fei had some mustard in his heart, he couldn't lose Yuan Shang's face too much because of Gongsun Zhan's matter.

was silent for a while, but listened to Zhang Fei said: "Zilong has strong martial arts skills, has a good command of troops, is not under me and my second brother, what is even more rare is that he is calm and composed, brave and resolute, the eldest brother once said that he is a rare talent, but he is also a general!" ”

With Zhang Fei's character, he can respect Zhao Yun so much, which shows his ability.

Yuan Shang's spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "In this case, I hope that after I go back, General Yide will be able to introduce me to me." ”

Zhang Fei glanced at Yuan Shang in confusion, and said as if he was a little mocking: "Who said that Zhao Zilong is in Runan now?" ”

Yuan Shang's expression froze when he heard this, and he said curiously: "Then where is he now?" ”

Zhang Feibao rolled his eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "Childe asked me, but who am I going to ask?" Back then, it was you Yuan who broke into Youzhou and attacked Yijing, you should know Zilong's whereabouts better than me, you don't know the way, but where can I guess? ”

Yuan Shang couldn't help frowning, stared at Zhang Fei seriously for a moment, and said, "General Zhang, you shouldn't have deliberately hidden him, right?" ”

Zhang Fei couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "What Yuan Gongzi said, such a big living person, where can we hide him." ”

Yuan Shang carefully weighed it for a while, and saw that what Zhang Fei said did not seem to be a lie, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

It stands to reason that Zhao Yun at this time should have traveled thousands of miles to find Liu Bei and devote himself to his command, why was he not in Runan? So where did he go?

What's going on?

Yuan Shang couldn't help but ponder in his heart, could it be that his crossing really brought about some so-called butterfly effect, messing up some situations and situations, right?

It shouldn't be! I don't think I'm that capable, am I?

Or is it because the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" comic book I read in my previous life was pirated? , you really can't buy children's books from street stalls, children are taught stupidly, it's too cheating.

With this deep question, all the way east, Zhang Fei and Yuan Shang were finally able to see the seat of Yingchuan County, the county seat of Yangzhai County, from afar.

Yingchuan County is surrounded by mountains and rivers, outstanding people, especially the Yingchuan Academy, which has produced a lot of talents in Kuangfu Huanyu, such as the Xun's Eight Dragons back then, and today's Cao Cao's Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, the late Xi Zhicai, Yuan Shao's Xun Chen, Guo Tu are all from here, just a county, the talents are so strong, it can really be said that the world is outlier.

Looking at the city of Yangzhai from afar, but seeing its city wall is thick and heavy, it is built in Yingshui, and there are camps on both sides of the south and north of the city, which is quite easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Zhang Fei and Yuan Shang were far away, and Zhu Ma watched for a long time, and then they both glanced at each other with sad faces, and they were silent for a long time.

After a stalemate like this for a while, Fang listened to Zhang Feichang sigh and shook his head: "Third Prince Yuan, this city is not easy to attack." ”

Yuan Shang nodded, frowned, and said: "Yes, not only is the city high and deep, but there are camps on both sides of the city as wings, it seems that Xiahou Yuan has worked hard to consolidate the city since he served as the Taishou of Yingchuan, if we attack strongly, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties." ”

Zhang Fei nodded when he heard this, and said: "Not only that, just looking at the scale of the camps on both sides of the Yangzhai City, the soldiers under Xiahou Yuan are at least 20,000 people and 20,000 people, if you count the 30,000 elite soldiers of Wancheng Cao Ren, the total number of soldiers and horses on the two sides is not less than 50,000, and the soldiers and horses under the command of my eldest brother and the fine cavalry of the son are only more than 30,000 at most, and they still have to attack the city."

Yuan Shang raised his hand and scratched his head, and sighed: "We are here to investigate today, not to formulate a strategy, just report Yang Zhai's situation to Xuande Gong, as for the siege of the city, we will discuss it together when we go back." ”…,

Zhang Fei nodded when he heard this, and said, "The third prince is very good, let's find a few more nearby people and investigate in detail." ”

Yuan Shang nodded in agreement when he heard this.

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard bursts of cheerful female laughter faintly in the air.

Yuan Shang looked up, but saw that in the forest not far away, there were several women dressed like pink butterflies and green bees, happily carrying bamboo baskets to pick mulberries and looking for them, chasing and laughing, and walking leisurely towards their side, all of them were quite leisurely and content.

"It's so lively."

Yuan Shang touched his chin with a smile, and sighed with emotion to himself: "Everyone says that life should be a man, I think women live easily, day by day without worrying about fighting, not worrying about killing, husband and children at home, idle and crooked, you can still gang up with a basket to pick some mulberry leaves, hide from cats, really chic how like me, since the battle of Guandu, there has not been a day of life without pain, it is really too different." ”

Zhang Fei ignored Yuan Shang's muttering to himself, but stared at the group of women who were talking and laughing with blazing eyes, and the expression on his face turned out to be a little solidified.

I saw that among the women who picked mulberry, there was a beauty who was about fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in goose yellow clothes, eyes like stars, bright moon and bright teeth, apricot eyes and cherry lips, looking bright and moving, just like the delicate jade carving that had never been carved, people couldn't help but hold it in their hands, care carefully, and couldn't bear to hold it again.

Yuan Shang seemed to have seen the woman in goose yellow costumes, and nodded with a smile: "What a beauty." ”

Zhang Fei turned a deaf ear, and looked at it for a long time before he reacted.

But seeing that the big man coughed lightly, he said to Yuan Shang with a solemn face: "Third Prince Yuan, let's go and inquire about those women to see how many troops Yingchuan Yang Zhai has." ”

"Huh?"

Yuan Shang couldn't help but be a little stupid when he heard this, he looked at Zhang Fei in a daze for a long time, and said: "General Zhang, I don't object to you finding someone to spy on the military situation, but do we also choose a few reliable ones, those girls obviously have not faded yet, I don't object to you asking them about the market price of rouge gouache, I don't understand it when you ask them about the military situation."

When Zhang Fei heard this, his face couldn't help twitching, and he said in a humble voice: "We have been around the city for so long, and there is not even a ghost shadow, if you don't let me ask them, who will I ask?" ”

Yuan Shang's face collapsed, and he said, "Then you can't look for nonsense, right?" ”

Zhang Fei didn't talk nonsense with Yuan Shang, he suddenly pulled the reins of the horse, turned the black horse under his crotch around, and said to himself: "Come on, if you don't go, then I'll ask myself!" ”

With that, his legs suddenly clamped, and he galloped on his horse, and then disappeared in a moment.

Yuan Shang looked at Zhang Fei's back in a daze, sighed, shook his head and said: "When is there no one who is worry-free, I am still thinking about pickling girls, I have to stir up yellow for you." ”

After that, Yuan Shang also raised the whip and shouted "Drive!" The crowd followed closely after the smoke and dust left by the black horse
