Chapter 45: A single invitation to Zhang Yide

Lu Meng stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the hazy night and full of spirit: I should teach Liu Bei, who doesn't know the host and guest, a lesson!

Recently, I have been reading a lot, and the courage in my body has been hidden a lot.

Lu Meng has always been quite correct about his identity: he should serve his benefactor to the death.

He is not an old general of Sun Bofu, nor is he a Jiangdong Haoyou, who can rely on him, but he is the lord Sun Hou.

Relying on the soldiers in silk clothes to gain Sun Quan's appreciation, this is a bargain that Lu Meng still feels is a good deal.

Therefore, Sun Hou ordered him to obey Zhou Yu's orders, and he obeyed; Sun Hou ordered him to study, and he obeyed;

Sun Hou secretly ordered to "find" the method of iron smelting to lure Jiangdong Haoyou, and he also obeyed, and told Lu Su that he sent troops without authorization.

Of course, the general trend of the world that Lu Su said is not difficult to understand, but Lu Meng doesn't care.

He was not a courtier of Jiangdong, but a general of Sun Hou.

Guan Yu is brave, what about Zhang Fei's toughness? Lu Meng still remembers what he said to his mother when he was young:

If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?

"Enter the Hudu River in front and silence the boat." LΓΌ Meng ordered.

The speed of the boat slowed down, some people put away the conspicuous sails, and some people took bamboo poles from the cabin to silently hold the boat.

Seeing that several boats had entered the tributaries of the Hudu River as he thought, Lu Meng nodded with satisfaction.

What makes Lu Meng proud, in addition to the "earning" of Sun Hou in Jiangyi back then, is also his method of military training.

No one spoke in the whole process just now, and the order was forbidden, this is the personal soldier he trained.

I don't know if there are people under Liu Bei's command who can train like themselves?

After thinking for a while, Lu Meng waved his hand, and the two hundred soldiers silently supported the boat and approached the south of Gong'an County.

How to take the method of iron smelting? The craftsman must live near the blacksmith's shop, and just grab some work and retreat.

Some craftsmen are just that, where is iron smelting not iron smelting?

With this in mind, Lu Meng locked the blacksmith shop next to the Nanhudu River in Gong'an County.

approached by boat, set fire to slash and create a riot, and then took advantage of the chaos to rob the craftsmen, and then went down the river with the wind and water, Lu Meng thought very clearly.

"Moving ......"

Before Lu Meng finished speaking, his ears suddenly caught the sound of the bowstring being pulled apart.

In the silence of the night, the sound of the river masked LΓΌ Meng's whereabouts, but it also masked the sound of the eight-bull crossbow slowly pulling away.

Although he hadn't seen it, his fear of bows and arrows made Lu Meng lie down and roll into the water for the first time.

Different from the "sigh" sound of the cold arrow, Lu Meng heard a sharp sound of breaking the air.

Then there was a "bang", like an arrow entering the flesh, but Lu Meng could see clearly in the water, and a crossbow arrow the thickness of his arm was nailed to the boat.

There were also spinning blades extending from this crossbow arrow, and Lu Meng didn't dare to imagine what would happen if he was hit by an arrow.

"Retreat!" Lu Meng shouted.

Even without such terrifying crossbow arrows, the discovery of a sneak attack would have been an impossibility.

LΓΌ Meng's own soldiers jumped into the river one after another, carefully hiding on the side of the boat, and then pushed the boat down the water.

It was only 600 meters from here to the mouth of the river downstream, but for the first time, Lu Meng felt that 600 meters was so difficult to walk.

The terrifying sound of the winding, the sharp sound of the crossbow bolt breaking through the air, seemed to be adjusting the angle of the machine sound, so that formed the three voices that Lu Meng heard the most tonight.

And the shore began to be bustling with people, who seemed to be running after the boat and shooting arrows into the water.

After finally flowing into the river, Lu Meng breathed a sigh of relief.

After counting the losses, looking back at Gong'an County, Lu Meng felt that he was inexplicably defeated and aggrieved for a while.

Not only are they brave, but they also know the art of war recently, if they didn't have these giant crossbow arrows, they would have flown away, why would they have suffered such a loss?

Guan Yu was woken up, and when he put on a single coat and went out, he saw the body of the thief who was carried over.

It didn't seem painful to die, and the huge crossbow blade pierced through the waist and abdomen, leaving the corpse with only the upper half of its body.

Zhao Lei said softly:

"I've checked it, Shanyue people, the tiger mouth cocoon in his hand is very heavy, he should be a veteran of Jiangdong."

"But there's really nothing on you that proves your identity."

Guan Yu shook his head disdainfully:

"Hmph, rats!"

Guan Yu moved the families of the civil and military to Jiangling City, and divided heavy troops to guard the iron, paper, and medicine that were difficult to remove in Gong'an County.

And now it's really rewarding.

"Behead him, hang it at the east gate of Gong'an County for three days, and bury him three days later."

……

"Horse deserter, are you afraid?"

Mi Fang asked with a smile.

They had already followed Zhang Fei to the bottom of Baishui Pass.

Zhang Fei didn't say anything about attacking the city, but just set up a camp under Baishui Pass, and the rear has been cutting down trees these days, and there seems to be something waiting in front of the battle.

After arriving at Baishui Pass, Liu Feng Mifang keenly felt that the horse deserter was very nervous, so Mi Fang ridiculed him like this.

"This is not the first time you have been on the battlefield, so why are you shaking like chaff?" Liu Feng is very strange.

Ma Yan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, pinched his trembling right hand with his left hand, and said with difficulty:

"I joined the army under the lord's account, why should I fight in person?"

Liu Feng took a sip of disdain and said:

"I don't know how to fight, can I still join the army? It's also ridiculous. ”

If it was in the past, Liu Feng, who Ma Tan could talk about at length, couldn't speak.

But now, he just wants to try to suppress the fear in his heart and not become a deserter.

If he escapes again, he will surely die.

Liu Feng didn't bother to care about this horse anymore, he stood on tiptoe and looked forward, at this moment, there were a few chairs in front of the formation, and he could see Zhang Fei sitting on them, bored and chatting with General Yan Yan.

Less leaning, Bai Shui closed down a hanging basket, a person wearing simple armor, and a few personal soldiers each held a single knife, and hesitated to move over.

Zhang Fei laughed and laughed with Yan Yan, who was sitting next to him:

"Look at what I said, people are here too!"

Then he said loudly:

"May I ask which general is Yang Huai Gaopei?"

After hesitating for a long time, the guard finally moved to the chair, relaxed and sat down, and said:

"I'm Gao Pei."

Zhang Fei smiled kindly: "I am Zhang Fei, this is General Yan Yan." ”

After several people met each other, Zhang Fei got straight to the point:

"General Gao wants to be in the same league with national thieves like Zhang Lu?"

Gao Pei was furious and scolded back:

"As far as I can see, Liu Jingzhou is a real thief!"

"Liu Yizhou has not been invited, how can he enter Yizhou privately?"

Zhang Fei shook his head: "That Zigui Wu County originally belonged to Jingzhou, and when Li Yi was there, he didn't see Liu Yizhou make the decision to return it!" ”

"General Gao, I think I might as well confess again, are you Baishui Pass guards to protect the territory and the people?"

"That's natural, the White Water Army is different from the rebellious ministers and thieves who are scheming and robbing!" Gao Pei held his head high.

Zhang Fei nodded and asked:

"Then what if you Liu Yizhou want you to switch it and let Zhang Lu enter Yizhou?"

Gao Pei didn't believe it: "Impossible." ”

"Then I'll put it another way." Zhang Fei seemed extremely patient:

"If General Yang Huai, who led the White Water Army to attack Langzhong, can't capture Langzhong, what will happen to Liu Yizhou?"

"I think it's either to order General Yang Huai to return to Baishui Pass to garrison, but in this way, everyone knows that Liu Yizhou can't do anything about Pang Xi."

"Either General Gao will be ordered to draw the defenders to support, so wouldn't the door of Baishui Pass be wide open?"

"This ......" Gao Pei hesitated, but then reacted:

"Why can't Langzhong be attacked!"

"Why can you take it?!" Zhang Fei got up and kicked the stool directly, causing Gao Pei and the others to draw their knives directly in a panic.

Zhang Fei said to himself:

"My eldest brother returned from Zigui to Jiangzhou, and he didn't commit any crimes in autumn! Teach the people to farm and divide the people's land, even General Yan Yan is happy and convinced! ”

Gao Pei's eyes moved to the veteran, thanks to Yan Yan's age, everyone in Yizhou knew this veteran general, and they also understood his stinky temper.

Gao Pei's own soldiers whispered:

"I heard that General Yan's bones are not ordinarily hard, and he actually dropped..."

Zhang Fei continued: "That Pang Xi has been guarding Langzhong for more than ten years, and the people have no complaints, but Liu Yizhou has never been there once. Who do you say the people of Langzhong are closer to? ”

"General Gao, do you want to be loyal to the Han Dynasty and protect the people, or do you want to surrender to Zhang Lu, join the same stream, and fish and meat in Yizhou Township?"

"This ......" Gao Pei was speechless, but he always felt that something was wrong, why did he vote for Zhang Lu?

"Moreover, General Gao really thinks that I can't beat Baishui?"

Zhang Fei was excited:

"I just think that General Gao is righteous and can't bear to invade each other!"

Gao Pei was almost angry from his heart:

"How can you beat the White Water Pass! When the White Waters don't exist?! ”

Zhang Fei sat down again and raised his eyebrows: "Then if I can defeat Baishui Pass, General Gao can descend to Hanhu?" ”

Gao Pei is anxious:

"A certain Han general, what a sentence to descend to Hanhu!"

In the flash of light, Zhang Fei grabbed Gao Pei's hands with both hands:

"It couldn't be better! Then just play a martial arts, if I win, let me also settle in Baishui Pass. ”

"If you win, I'll defend against Zhang Lu for you, how about it?"

Gao Pei was horrified in his heart, and he couldn't pull out his hands to lift the knife for a while.

Then before he could react, Zhang Fei grabbed his shoulder with one hand, and pointed at Gao Pei's pro-soldier with the other hand:

"Your general has promised, you go back quickly to inform the news, let's conduct a siege exercise, and quickly go and prepare."

"I will watch and witness here with your general, and I will not do any harm."

Several pro-soldiers looked at Zhang Fei and then at their own general, and hesitated back to Baishui Pass.

Gao Pei wants to cry without tears:

"General Zhang, you've hurt me."

Zhang Fei smiled lightly: "That's not good, maybe you have to thank me." ”

So just an hour later, Ma Tan was dressed in arrowroot cloth and held a wooden stick stained with lime in his hand, and stood under the White Water Pass.

Gao Pei was still in a state of being held in Zhang Fei's arms, and the two stood aside to watch.

At this time, several behemoths were pushed from the rear to the front, and Zhang Fei enthusiastically introduced to Gao Pei:

"The one with a ladder is called a folding cloud ladder, made by my military division, the two layers of ladders can be opened, and the grappling hook in front can grab the city wall, and it can't be pushed down at all. There is also space below to hide the soldiers, so that the soldiers can reach the city walls safely. ”

"The tall one is called a well, and when it is pushed under the city wall, the soldiers can climb up and condescend to the city wall to still fire oil or shoot arrows."

"There's also a battering ram that I didn't brought, and the military advisor is still working on a wooden ox and flowing horse, which is said to be able to climb the wall like walking on the ground after sitting on it! And ah......"

"General Zhang, I admit defeat. What exactly do you want Whitewater to do? Gao Pei was helpless, now Zhang Fei can directly strangle him as soon as he uses his strength, and there is no shame in admitting defeat.

And the siege equipment of the people is obviously prepared, maybe it is really as he said, the siege must be overcome.

Zhang Fei laughed, what kind of ladder can you make in a few days? It's just the way it looks like it's made in the light curtain.

Who said that there should be no suspicion in the ordnance? Isn't that great to use?
