Meng Da was really a little depressed.

He had just completed the expansion and had only more than 4,000 men, including nearly a thousand untrained recruits.

Although he has been carrying the 3,000 parts in his hand for a long time, he is not worried about what problems will be caused by the surrender of Cao.

But with such a small person, he will definitely not be able to lead the army.

He doesn't have the influence of the Shen family in this place, so he can't recruit so many young people at all, and if he uses strength, maybe the people will change in a day or two......

So he was waiting, waiting for Cao Jun to arrive.

As a result, he didn't wait for Cao Jun to come, but he heard that Liu Feng took the lead to occupy the mediocrity, but fortunately, the Shen brothers seemed to have run away.

He started to wait again, since Liu Feng made the first move, he believed that the Shen family would definitely make a big move, and he had to wait for the news of the Shen family to cooperate.

Wait, wait, finally waited for the messenger of the Shen family to deliver the letter.

Meng Da excitedly took the bag handed by the messenger and couldn't wait to take it out...... A piece of ragged linen.

Yes, Meng Da turned it over and looked at it, it was also a piece of ragged linen.

There was even the smell of sweat and flakes of stains on it......

Before Meng Da could ask, the messenger was already so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that when the head of the family handed it over to him, he clearly said that it was a secret letter inside, and asked him to deliver it to you with his own hands.

The Shen family took great pains to send a messenger to send him a piece of raffle to wipe his sweat, just to tease him Meng Da? It's really unnecessary to think about it.

The immortal Meng Da had an idea, maybe there was another mystery in this piece of linen?

Take blisters, soak them in oil, drizzle them with chicken blood, and even roast them over a fire......

After tossing around, Meng Da was finally convinced that this was a piece of ragged linen to wipe sweat!

That's a possibility, I'm afraid that the real secret letter has been dropped halfway.

Meng Da's heart tightened when he heard the news, and the only person who could do this kind of thing could be Liu Feng's people.

But soon he relaxed again, and what if he knew?

The Shen family guards the west entrance, and they guard the east entrance, and if Cao Jun comes, he will walk to the Yongbei entrance.

The news can't be sent, and the rescue can't be moved, even if he Liu Feng knows it, he can still turn over the sky with 3,000 people?

It's just that there is no news from the Shen family now, and when to send troops is a question.

"Report to the general! There were ships coming from the east, and it seemed that the army wanted to enter the three counties. ”

Meng Da was not surprised when he heard the news, the downstream of the water was still in the hands of Cao Wei, Jingzhou had just experienced a big war, it could not be Guan Yu, it would only be Cao Jun!

As soon as Cao Jun arrived, he could directly send troops, no matter what the hell the Shen family was doing, it should not be a problem to take down Shangyong.

After confirming that it was Cao Jun, Meng Da directly led his guards out of the city to show his sincerity and greeted him respectfully at the dock.

When the ship heard about it, the first person to get off the boat was a veteran, about forty or fifty years old, with white spots on his beard, but the whole person still acted like the wind, and he did not see his old age at all.

This person has a serious and majestic face, and he seems to be unsmiling, and he is quite powerful.

The soldiers who disembarked with him were neatly clean, and it seemed that they were also strictly disciplined, which was completely different from the soldiers under his command.

"The last general, Meng Da, greet the general." Meng Da hurriedly took a few steps forward, bowed deeply, and then asked with a smile, "Please forgive the last general's clumsiness, I don't know which general under the command of King Wei is there in person?" ”

The veteran who got off the boat hugged his fists in return, although he was not enthusiastic, he did not refuse thousands of miles: "I am Xu Huang, the general of Pingkou, and I am leading 4,000 troops here today, wanting to recover the land of the three counties." ”

"Ah, it turned out to be General Komeito's face, disrespectful and disrespectful. Although the last general is in an isolated place, he has heard of the general's name for a long time, and it is really ...... to see it today."

Meng Da's literary style is good, and there are many flattering words in his abdomen that are guaranteed not to be numb, but can shoot people who are physically and mentally happy, waiting to be spit out, but Xu Huang suddenly raised his hand.

"It's important to get down to business, don't talk about this, after the three counties are recovered, it's not too late to talk to the general about wine."

"Uh...... That's what the general said. Meng Da, who was blocked in his stomach, suddenly felt tightness in his chest and shortness of breath.

Xu Huang led the army and asked as he walked, "What is the current situation in the three counties?" ”

Meng Da preempted Liu Feng first, and the Shen brothers fled to Xicheng briefly, and they didn't even hide the interception of the secret letter.

"It seems that Liu Feng is not a simple-minded reckless man." Xu Huang said when he heard this.

was able to see through the treachery of the Shen family and Meng Da in advance, preemptively occupy the upper class, and almost blocked the Shen family brothers inside, and even intercepted their secret letters.

Liu Bei, a fake, seems to be unable to take it lightly.

"General rest assured, Shangyong is sandwiched between me and the Shen family, this person has been trapped in a lonely city, and he must not defend it for a long time. It's just that our army doesn't have a lot of troops......"

Xu Huang knew what he meant, and he must have thought that he had brought fewer than 4,000 people.

"The soldiers are not expensive, and the soldiers under a certain command are very strictly trained, how can they be compared with ordinary soldiers."

"Yes, yes!" Meng Da didn't have any temper in the face of Xu Huang's words, and the soldiers of other people did look much stronger than his subordinates, and it was already very face-saving not to say that his soldiers were a rabble.

"What's more, there is still General Xiahou Boren personally leading the main force, coming from the north of Shangyong, it is estimated that he has arrived one step ahead of me, and I will go to join it as soon as possible."

Meng Da was overjoyed when he heard this: "So good! The general led the army to rest in Fangling, and the last general should kill cattle and sheep to comfort the general's army, and stay for three days to ......"

"Not necessarily." Xu Huang interrupted Meng Da's words with another wave of his hand, "When will General Fangling's troops be sent?" ”

"Uh...... The last general has been prepared for many days and is ready to be sent at any time. ”

Xu Huang nodded: "In this case, a certain army will rest for an hour, and then send troops immediately!" We should quickly join General Xiahou in case there is any change. ”

Mengda: "......"

He peeked at Xu Huang's corporaries, but when he saw that there was no resentment on everyone's faces, he couldn't help but praise secretly in his heart.

There was a saying in Xu Huang's army: "No salary, it belongs to Xu Huang." ”

This is not to say that he deducted the salary of the embezzled army, the salary here means to eat, it means that he is extremely strict in governing the army, and in order not to miss the military plane, he often makes his subordinates so busy that they have no time to eat.

Xu Huang was not annoyed when he heard this, and scolded with a smile: "Did I smash your job?" ”

The implication is that it is necessary for war, and it is better to delay one or two meals than to defeat the dead in battle.

Moreover, he lived a simple life, his food and salary were always paid in full, and he was not special.

Therefore, although the management of the army can be called strict, the soldiers under his command can only joke and complain a few words, how to sell their lives or how to sell their lives.

"What, an hour is not enough for the general to send troops?" Seeing that Meng Da was silent, Xu Huang stopped and turned his head to look at him.

Meng Da immediately felt a suffocating sense of oppression, and hurriedly said: "Enough, naturally enough!" Just an hour, an hour later, the army will be dispatched! ”

……

An hour later, Meng Daliu's henchman Deng Fu led 500 troops to defend the city, exhausted the rest of the troops that could fight, and accompanied Xu Huang's 4,000 men and horses to Shangyong.

From Fangling to Shangyong, Xu Huang chose to take the land route.

Shangyong City and Fangling City are respectively on the edge of the tributaries of the Shuishui, but these two tributaries are not trafficked.

To take the waterway, you have to go out of the three counties first, and then go back from the water, and the time to go around this big circle is not much different from that of the land route.

The Northland sergeant was not used to taking a boat, and then took the boat, Xu Huang was afraid that before the battle was fought, the soldiers under him would vomit and lose their strength......

The only downside to taking the land route is the terrain, many of which are dangerous places between two mountains and one valley.

So although Xu Huang was in a hurry, he didn't blindly pursue speed when he was marching.

Along the way, the scouts were scattered to explore the way, and they always kept an eye out for ambushes on the mountain.

Sometimes, even if it seems that the situation is good, he can't be careless, and what Yu Ban is doing is the lesson in front of him.

After two days of marching, the army finally approached the east bank of the blocked water, and after crossing the blocked water, it was the location of Shangyong City.

"Report ——! General, the front found a large group of men and horses marching here, and the banner should be General Xiahou's men and horses. ”

Scout Pegasus reported, Xu Huang immediately ordered a halt to the march.

"General Xiahou's soldiers and horses? Is there a mistake? ”

"It is indeed General Xiahou's banner that is correct."

No, Boren wanted to attack Shangyong, and since he landed on the west bank of the blocked water, why did he run to the east bank? And still marching east?

Xu Huang had an ominous premonition, and immediately ordered the herald to contact Xiahou Shang's department.

Then the two armies converged, and Xu Huang finally met Xiahou Shang.

I saw that he was dusty, and there was still blood and mud on his clothes and armor that could be cleaned in the future, and that kind of ominous premonition was even stronger.

"General Beren, why did you march so far?"

Xiahou didn't answer for the time being, but stared at Meng Da next to him, and asked quietly, "General Gongming, who is this?" ”

Meng Da hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "The last general, Meng Da, see the general." Da has exhausted the troops of Fangling, and is willing to help the general recover the three counties. ”

Xiahou Shang had doubts, rolled his eyes, and decided to deceive him.

immediately became furious, and pointed at Meng Da like a sword: "What a treacherous person, you dare to deceive me with the Shen family?!" ”

"Huh?!"

Meng Da was shocked, and the half-soaked urine in the urine was almost so frightened that he couldn't hold it......

Fortunately, he was still young, the strength of the sphincter was not weak, the two armies had not yet fought, and the sphincter made a small contribution first, and finally saved General Meng's face.
