Chapter 602: Taking the Yang (8)
Seeing this, the general of the pro-guard army stepped forward and shouted: "What soldiers are ahead, stay out of the way when you hurry." ”
"What do you say? Lao Tzu is a lieutenant general, what position are you, you are shouting in front of me, do you know how to etiquette, is this how your general taught you. ”
The general of the personal guard was speechless, pointed to General Niu and said, "I will definitely tell General Xiahou about this matter." ”
"Whatever you say, Lao Tzu is here to save General Xiahou, naturally to prevent other assassins from breaking in, this is Vice General Zhou's order." Niu Jin said righteously.
The general's face turned red, he didn't have the eloquence of General Niu, but he was anxious about Xiahou Yuan's safety, and pointed at General Niu with a ring knife and said, "If you don't give way, Hugh blames General Ben for being polite." ”
General Niu's face suddenly fell, and he said, "What, you, a small general, actually claimed to be the general in front of Lao Tzu, and you want to kill me?" Lao Tzu looks at you like an assassin, come here, take him down for me, don't delay us to rescue the general. ”
"No." After clenching their fists, the two soldiers walked towards the general of the guard.
Without hesitation, the general of the personal guard swung the ring head knife twice, and the two soldiers were killed instantly.
But all the soldiers in the army must have a certain blood, maybe they are very sloppy on the battlefield, but in their own nest, they must be strong, otherwise no one will look up to you.
"Someone, catch him, he killed the soldiers of our army, he must be in the same league as the assassins." General Niu has caught the reason, and he will definitely not let go.
Two more soldiers walked out, looking at the General of the Guards with a grim look in their eyes.
In a hurry, the general of the personal guard raised the ring head knife and was about to slash at the soldier, but the soldier in front of him shook his body, dodged the blow that he was determined to win, and snatched the ring head knife with his hand, subduing the personal guard general.
No matter how the guards shouted and screamed, General Niu ignored them, and shouted at the soldiers behind the guards: "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and save the general, I will report this matter to General Xiahou. ”
General Niu's strong momentum made the guards unrefutable for a while, and followed General Niu to the rescue, but General Niu's speed was really not flattering, and if he continued at this speed, he would rush to the camp, and I was afraid that the assassins would also run away.
"You have ill intentions, the pro-guard army listens to the order, and quickly goes to the rescue of the general, and you must not be negligent in the slightest, otherwise the military law will deal with it." The general of the personal guard suddenly woke up and shouted loudly.
When the guards heard this, they hurried in the direction of the camp, and General Niu did not stop them, his task was to delay the guards for a while.
"Be polite when you talk to Lao Tzu in the future, they are all General Xiahou's subordinates, don't be big or small, otherwise you will see you once in the future." General Niu said unceremoniously.
The situation is becoming more and more critical, Xiahou Yuan already has three wounds on his body, blood is constantly flowing out, since another man in black joined, Xiahou Yuan has been injured repeatedly, this man in black's martial arts are much higher than the three of them, and he is ruthless, straight to the point, Xiahou Yuan is tired of resisting.
More than 20 black-clothed people lingered outside the camp tent, completely freeing a soldier who came in a hurry, more and more soldiers rushed towards him, even the black-clothed man gradually became a little overwhelmed, after all, this is the Cao army camp, there are enemies everywhere, and if you are not careful, you will be given here.
"You" Xiahou Yuan fell to the ground weakly, pointing in the direction of the camp, his eyes widened, looking at everything in front of him in disbelief, and a crossbow arrow pierced his throat.
"Let's go." The man in black gave an order, and the four of them hurriedly ran out of the camp tent, and more than 20 people in the chaotic camp, like fish in water, found a no-man's corner, changed into soldiers' clothes, pretended to be soldiers who went to the rescue, and mixed in with the soldiers.
When the generals in the army got the news and came to Xiahou Yuan's camp, all they saw was a cold corpse and a mess all over the ground.
"Can anyone tell me what's going on? What about the pro-guards, what was the general doing when he had an accident? Xiahou Yu shouted loudly.
The general of the guards said with a shy face: "After hearing the general's voice, he immediately led the soldiers to come to the rescue, but who knew that he met General Niu on the road, and he blocked the way of the guards. ”
"Yes, it's him, if it weren't for him, the general would definitely be fine, the general, General Niu and the assassin are in the same group." Under the excitement of the guards, some of them were incoherent.
"General Niu?" Xiahou Yu said coldly: "Come on, bring General Niu over." ”
"General Xiahou was killed, he should report to Duke Wei as soon as possible and let him decide, at this time, there is a Xiliang army outside the pass, and it is imperative to guard the checkpoint." Zhou Xingyue said.
Zhou Xing's words won the approval of the generals in the tent, Xiahou Yuan is dead, the most important thing is to stabilize the morale of the army, so that the army will not mutiny because of Xiahou Yuan's death, Pingsu Zhou Xing gave advice next to Xiahou Yuan, and his status in the hearts of the generals was not low, and some generals immediately agreed after listening to his words.
Xiahou Yuan's death, Wei Gong must be punished, and at this time, if he loses the Tiger Prison Pass, the punishment will be even greater.
Xiahou Yu said coldly: "Vice General Zhou, what do you mean by this, is it just that the general was assassinated, General Ben is sure that the assassins are in the army, and the personal guards will follow me forward and find out all the assassins." ”
Zhou Xing shouted: "Xiahou Yu, the tiger prison is very important, there can be no mistakes, you are a general in the army, don't you even understand this, at this time to stabilize the army's heart is the most important, if the Xiliang army takes the opportunity to attack the city, how to defend it." At this time, Zhou Xing seems to be a figure with the talent of a general, starting from the overall situation, in comparison, Xiahou Yu is a little unreasonable.
Xiahou Yu's face continued to change, and finally he hugged his fists and said: "Deputy General Zhou, I will go to arrest the assassin, you are responsible for stabilizing the morale of the army, General Xiahou's death, you can't just forget it." ”
Zhou Xing pointed to the back of Xiahou Yu leaving, his face was gloomy, Xiahou Yu was a member of Xiahou's family, even if Zhou Xing's position was higher than him, he couldn't control him, so he could only let him go, but the more this happened, the more he wanted to sit in the position of the main general, so that all those who despised him would fall at his feet.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you can't be without a master general in the Tiger Prison Pass for a day, and now General Xiahou has been assassinated, the top priority is to elect the main general, hold the Tiger Prison Pass, and wait for the Duke of Wei to send reinforcements." A general who had a good relationship with Zhou Xing said.
This statement has won the approval of many generals, after all, Zhou Xing's residual power is still there, and he can take care of the overall situation at a critical moment.
Under the operation of people with a heart, Zhou Xing was appointed as the chief general of the army to guard the tiger pass.
Two days later, the soldiers of the three armies were all wrapped in white cloths, and their cries shook the sky, Xiahou Yuan was bold, capable of writing and martial arts, and still had a certain status in the hearts of the soldiers, and died suddenly, which was a great blow to morale.
After Jia Rong outside the pass heard this movement, his face showed a touch of triumph, judging from the movement in the pass, it must be Zhang Xiu who has succeeded, and he will also start planning how to quickly capture Luoyang after conquering the Tiger Prison Pass, and bring this prosperous city into his palm.
"Lord, General Zhang Xiu has succeeded, and tomorrow he will order the city gate to be opened, and then the army will rush in, and the tiger prison will be fixed." Guo Jiaxi said.
Zhao Yun hugged his fists and said, "Congratulations to the lord for getting the Tiger Prison Pass." ”
Jia Rong nodded and said: "Well, after the Tiger Prison Pass is conquered, how our army can quickly capture Luoyang is the most important thing, compared to the Tiger Prison Pass, Luoyang is a strong city." ”
Guo Jia's face turned solemn, the guards of Luoyang are the most difficult bones to gnaw, Cao Ren, the famous general of the Cao army, is much more famous than Xiahou Yuan.
Before the death of Xiahou Yuan came out, he must take Luoyang, not give Cao Jun enough time to react, and the combat effectiveness of the Liang Army in the west is enough to attract Cao Cao's attention, so as to mobilize most of the men and horses to garrison Luoyang, Luoyang can not be conquered, the previous efforts are in vain, the Tiger Prison Pass and Bishui Pass are indeed natural dangers, that is external, and it will become extremely easy to attack the two checkpoints from Luoyang.
In the Tiger Prison Pass, Zhou Xing became the main general in the army with the support of a group of generals, Zhang Xiu has been following behind him, nominally to protect his safety, in fact, he understands better than anyone else, if there is a slight disobedience, I am afraid that he will be the first to die, Xiahou Yuan is an important figure in the Cao army, there are elite guards around him, and he died in their hands, not to mention himself, Zhang Xiu's methods he has not seen, but the strong deterrent from him makes Zhou Xing dare not have any abnormal moves.
"Tomorrow, I will order to clean up the debris that closes the door, and as for the name, avenge Xiahou Yuan and fight with the Xiliang army outside the city." Zhang Xiu said slowly.
"My lord, this is a little bad, I just became the chief general in the army, some things are not something I can do, don't mention others, it's that Xiahou Yu, my lord has also seen it, it's not something I can manage at all, if you open the door, I'm afraid he will be the first to jump out and object." Zhou Xingdao.
Zhang Xiu said coldly: "Xiahou Yu? Xiahou Yuan still died in our hands, not to mention him, just do it, don't forget, you are the main general in the army, the military order is like a mountain, what reason does Xiahou Yu have to object? If he is really disobedient, he can be ordered to be arrested."
"Okay, I'll talk about it tomorrow in front of the army." Zhou Xing said helplessly, after stepping on this road, there is no turning back, and Luoyang's family may have been secretly protected by Zhang Xiu.
"Not only that, but you also have to send your cavalry to Luoyang to report the news, and you had better be able to gain Cao Ren's trust." Zhang Xiudao.
Although Zhou Xing didn't understand Zhang Xiu's approach, he still nodded and agreed.
