Chapter 127: Admonition
Pound looked at the scene in a daze, not knowing what it meant. However, there is one thing he understands, these people must be here to make trouble, and they must move the carriage out of the way and continue to attack Han Sui, who is at the end of his rope.
Pound waved his hand and ordered one to dismount, to fight for the carriages, and to drive the carriages to the side. But to Pound's great surprise, two white-clothed scribes got out of one of the carriages, and they ordered one or two hundred soldiers to kill all the horses pulling the carts.
Pound immediately realized that the two scribes were trying to kill the horses and make it difficult for the carriage to move. The horses are dead, and the carriage must be replaced by horses if it wants to move. After the change of horses, Han Sui had enough time to break through the city and resist him on the basis of the strong city.
But what happened next surprised Pound even more. I saw that the two scribes actually ordered the subordinates to light torches and throw them into the carriage. As soon as the carriage was caught in flames, it immediately burst into flames, and even exploded somewhat. Pound knew that the two scribes were probably putting grease or wine in the car long ago, which was why it caused the fire and explosion. Such a careful mind made Pound a little vigilant.
Pang De understood now that they wanted to block him with a fire and buy time for Han Sui to enter the city. Killing horses before was actually a kind of mercy. For a short period of time, it was unrealistic to try to untie a horse from a wagon. So instead of burning the horses alive, it's better to give them a good time.
Now Pound was furious. With the operation of the two scribes, it is impossible for him to destroy Han Sui. By the time the fire was extinguished, Han Sui had already planted the flag on the city.
Han Sui here was even more stunned than Pound, and the troops were ready to fight against the water, but who knew that at this time, a team of carriages suddenly appeared, and they actually blocked the road that Pound charged. And these carriages, he didn't arrange them. And who did this?
Everyone in the trilogy looked at each other, and they didn't know what was happening in front of them. Cheng Gongying reacted the fastest, and when he saw that Han Sui was stunned, he quickly pushed Han Sui and said, "Lord, attack the city quickly!" We've got enough time to storm the city now! ”
"Yes, it's not easy for Pound to move those carriages...... Siege the city, live! Han Sui shouted excitedly.
So Yan Xing continued to urge his troops to attack the city, and this time he was sure that he could hold the city, so he did not dare to attack the city gate again. Otherwise, they will take the city of Caohan, and without the city gate, they will not be able to defend the city. Han Sui's soldiers climbed the ladder with knives in their mouths, and slaughtered the more than 100 defenders on the city one after another.
The defenders were stunned by this change, and although they tried their best, they couldn't resist it, and they saw that the city was about to be destroyed.
On this side, Pound had already ordered the subordinates to seize the two scribes, and his subordinates were also bound. Under the skylit fire of the carriage, the white clothes of the two scribes looked even whiter, and the smug smiles on their faces were even more cheerful.
These two scribes were undoubtedly Jia Xu and Yan Zhong. Everything was Jia Xu's plan, and he had already arranged it. After Jia Xu returned from Li Xiangru and Huang Yanna, Yan Zhong had already bought more than 30 carriages for him, and filled a jar of wine in the carriage. Jia Xu was familiar with the terrain under the city of Caohan, and ordered the guards to drive the carriage here, and use the fire to save Han Sui's life.
The soldier tied the two of them and came to the bottom of Pound's horse. Seeing that these two were scribes, Pound did not move, and said coldly: "Who instructed you?" ”
Jia Xu smiled and said: "No one instructed it, the two of us did it." ”
"Bang"! Suddenly another carriage exploded, and Pound took one look at the carriage and said, "Do you know the consequences?" ”
Jia Xu said lightly: "I know." Han Sui was about to hide in the city of Caohan, and the general couldn't destroy him in this battle. ”
Pound glared at Jia Xu angrily and did not speak.
Yan Zhong said: "Take us to General Shenweitian, we have something to say to him." ”
Pound said angrily: "Okay, it depends on how the young master falls!" Hold on. ”
On this side, Ma Chao was already blue. In order to plan for this war, he didn't know how much effort he had spent, and he had hollowed out his mind in order to ascend to the position of the overlord of Liangzhou as soon as possible. But these two scribes, who had come out of nowhere, used a great fire to keep him from victory a few miles away. What was once a victory within reach is now out of reach.
At this time, Pound sent two scribes, one fat and one thin. The soldier kicked twice and knocked the two scribes under the horse.
But the two scribes were not annoyed or struggling at all, but lay on the ground and giggled happily, and in their laughter was the triumph of the success of the conspiracy.
Ma Chao couldn't contain the anger in his heart anymore, got off the horse and directly reached out to grab Jia Xu among them, and lifted him up from the ground. Ma Chao put his forehead on Jia Xu's forehead fiercely, stared at each other's eyes, and roared angrily: "Who gave you the guts to dare to hinder me from destroying Han Sui?!" ”
"I gave it myself!" Jia Xu also shouted without showing weakness.
Ma Chao was a little surprised, this was the first time he had met someone who was not afraid of him. Ordinary people provoke him to be angry, and they have already peed their pants.
Ma Chao took a good look at this person, saw that this person was not afraid, and saw that the other person sitting on the ground also had a calm face, and said, "You still have some courage!" ”
Jia Xu and Yan Zhong both said, "Thank you for the general's praise." ”
Ma Chao put Jia Xu down again and put it on the ground, and Jia Xu stumbled a few times.
Ma Chao thought for a moment and said, "Since it wasn't Han Sui who sent you, who instructed you?" ”
Jia Xu and Yan Zhong laughed: "It's the two of us." ”
Ma Chao glanced at the two people with smiles on their faces, and said coldly, "Why do you do this?" What's in it for you? ”
"To rescue the general."
Ma Chao snorted coldly, he knew that this was the most common excuse used by lobbyists. So he laughed and said: "Alarmist, pull it down and cut it!" ”
The two pro-soldiers dismounted and immediately escorted Jia Xu and Yan Zhong away.
Jia Xu still said calmly: "Doesn't the general understand the principle of praying mantis catching cicadas? If you destroy Han Sui tonight, aren't you afraid that the imperial court will destroy you? ”
Ma Chao was about to kill these two people, and then lead his troops to surround the city of Caohan and destroy Han Sui in the long run. I was a little surprised to hear this sentence suddenly.
Ma Chao beckoned and said, "Stop, pull these two back." ”
The soldiers pushed the two down and knelt in front of Ma Chao.
Ma Chao said condescendingly: "What did you just say? ”
Jia Xu raised his head and said with a smile: "The general is talented and intelligent, he should know why the imperial court tolerates you, right?" Isn't it just for the praying mantis to catch cicadas? Right now, Han Sui's cicada is about to be captured by the general's praying mantis, so what is the imperial court doing with the general? So that the general can occupy Liangzhou and become a big trouble for the imperial court? ”
Ma Chao woke up suddenly, yes! Recently, he has been so focused on how to destroy Han Sui, but he didn't expect that there would be a court of justice! The thirst for power blinded him.
Ma Chao remained silent and said, "Go on." ”
