Good morning! Three Kingdoms Workers Section 387
After Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao's brothers washed up briefly, they also came over.
The four of them sat there and watched as the two beautiful boys turned the deer-looking thing while constantly cutting off the roast meat that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
She picked up a strip of meat and chewed on it as she thought about what to say next.
"These few days of marching, are the two Zhang Gongke still used to it?"
Zhang Miao touched his beard very happily, "The general is not only good at strategy, good at using soldiers, but also so careful about many miscellaneous things during the march. β
She also touched her chin happily, "That's good, I'm going to attack Cangtingjin tomorrow night, is there anything you don't understand about the two Zhang Gong?" β
Zhang Miao's hands trembled, and he tore off a few beards.
Zhang Chao's chopsticks didn't hold it steady, and the piece of meat suddenly fell to the ground.
"Why did you attack Kurateitsu at night?!" This is Zhang Chao.
"Why did you attack Kura Teitjin?!" This is Zhang Miao.
"We have to cross the river, and only after crossing the Yellow River can we go south to Puyang and rescue Zang Hong." She patiently explained.
The two Zhang Gong nodded again and again.
"For Dongjun, we are enemies."
The two Zhang Gong nodded a little slower.
"To hold this crossing," she said, "a night raid is the best way to do it." β
The two Zhang Gong stopped nodding and looked at her stunned.
"The Cangtingjin River is wide, the river is slow, now the rainy season has not arrived, the river is exhausted, you can send three thousand soldiers to cross the river quietly in the middle of the night, and you can easily take the Fan City behind Cangting at dawn.
"For two or three days, we hid all the flags, and walked quietly twenty miles from the river, and when we met pedestrians on the way, we seized them into the army, and did not give them a chance to report the news, and then let them go after crossing the river.
"In this way, we will have Cangtingjin, and the heavy grain and grass can be hoarded in this city for you and me to go south calmly. Even if Zang Ziyuan wants to bring Puyang's old and young to return together, Yuan Shao sent troops to chase after him, and he also has this stronghold that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it can be done! β
There was an eerie silence in the tent, save for the crackling sound of tongues of fire licking the roasted meat.
Zhang Liao looked at both sides for a while, and then asked, "If Meng Zhuogong has difficulties, he will talk about it." β
Zhang Miao was silent for a while, "Cangtingjin and Fan Cheng are both in Dongjun after all, and the two of us originally came to save Zang Ziyuan, and can they take the land of people?" β
β¦β¦ That's right.
Zang Hong was besieged by Yuan Shao, and Zhang Miao ran over to take down the other cities in Dongjun and occupy them, which sounded a bit like taking advantage of the fire to rob.
But she felt that this was not a robbery while the fire was burning, at most it was just a reasonable hard fee, and she did him a favor anyway.
Especially to hold this ferry, there is a steady stream of support from Qingxu in the rear, not only to fight Puyang now, but also to fight Yanzhou in the future, and even to attack Jizhou in the north, this is a good springboard that is easy to defend and difficult to attack!
Besides, what's wrong with taking a ferry port? She never pays for restaurants in the city!
I don't know if the expression on her face is too obvious, Zhang Liao suddenly glanced at her.
Lu Xuanyu suddenly had a thrill and jumped out of his own strange logic.
β¦β¦ Isn't this what Lu Bu would do?!
"After relieving the siege of Puyang, we can return Cangtingjin to Zang Ziyuan," she said against her will, adding again, "if he wants." β
Zhang Chao shook his head, "When we attack the city, the defenders, the soldiers, and even the officials defending the city will inevitably have casualties. Zang Ziyuan has done his best to govern Dongjun, and the people love him, how can I do this? β
The roast deer was thoroughly cooked, and the beautiful boy tiptoed to extinguish the charcoal fire below, put it in a dustpan and carried it out, so that the tent was quieter.
"The name of the commander of this city is Chen Rong, the word Zichu, because he admires Ziyuan and came here," Zhang Miao finally made up his mind, "I will go to see him tomorrow, and I will say that he will open the city and let him go." β
"If you don't say it, Meng Gaogong himself is a hostage," she gestured, "He is alert, and we can't attack at night." β
"The general is too worried," Zhang Miao said very confidently, "I know Zang Ziyuan's subordinates. β
Wei Xu cut a piece of roasted meat and cut it into thin strips.
His dagger was bright and sharp, and the slightly bloodshot roast meat was gently torn apart like a piece of paper under the edge of the dagger.
He was cutting meat like this, and he looked at Lu Bu intentionally or unintentionally.
The lord of the Bingzhou people seemed to be a little drunk, and his movements were much slower, but the wine glass was still held firmly in his hand, and there was no trembling at all.
The spring breeze coming and going outside the camp lifted a corner of the tent door from time to time, spilling the sunlight outside, and reflecting Lu Bu's face was also half-bright and half-dark, unpredictable.
Was he really drunk, or was he fake?
Since the Hanoi military rebellion and the siege of Zang Hong, LΓΌ Bu has been much more vigilant, patrolling the military camp every day, and quitting the problem of looking for women everywhere to be happy, and even quitting drinking.
To be able to invite Lu Bu to drink today, Wei Xu spent some thought.
Lu Bu still claimed that he didn't drink, but Wei Xu sighed and wept.
"Today is my birthday, and I should have spent it with my family," he said, "mourning my parents, giving birth to me, but now I have no father to worry about, no mother to fear, and only the general can be called my relative." β
So he went from a shallow drink to three more rounds, until he was drunk like this.
Although he was drunk, Wei Xu hesitated for a long time and still didn't start.
He handed over the plate of finely sliced roast lamb, took a fine cloth from his bosom, and slowly wiped his dagger.
"General," he whispered, wiping his dagger, "what shall we do after that?" β
"Huh?" Lu Bu didn't seem to be very clear-headed, "What's how?" β
"It's the great thing that the general planned," Wei Xu said, "what will happen after that?" β
Lu Bu suddenly realized, "You said that we should take the little emperor and leave Yanzhou?" β
His brother-in-law paused as he wiped the dagger, looked at him in horror, and then nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, that's it," he said, "General, when, how and where are we going?" β
Lu Bu used chopsticks to pluck the mutton for a long time, and finally put the chopsticks down again.
"Are there salt beans?"
Wei Xu was silent for a while, "Yes." β
"Let's take the emperor and go north," Lu Bu grabbed a handful of salt beans in his hand, stuffed them into his mouth one by one, and said vaguely, "Let's go to Dongjun!" β
"East County?" Wei Xu asked with some eagerness, "Isn't Yuan Shao fighting Zang Hong?" How do you get the way? β
Lu Bu pouted, "Oh, then we can also go south to Wancheng!" β
β¦β¦ Wancheng now has Liu Bei's army stationed outside the city, and he is also careless with the posture of burning jade, they are naturally not afraid of these old Ge who have walked through the mountains and sea of blood, how can the emperor take that kind of place?
Wei Xu was very puzzled in his heart, he always felt that since Lu Bu could have such an idea, he must have discussed it with others. Since he wanted to plot a conspiracy and kill the lord to seize power, he naturally wanted to inquire about all these things and ask Cao Cao for credit, so he hurriedly continued to ask, "Does the general want to vote for Liu Bei?" β
Lu Bu frowned deeply, anger gradually rising in those eyes, "Liu Bei? Hum! Although I have not talked to him, I must be my brother! How can an elder brother vote for his younger brother? How about I go to vote for Liu Biao? β
Wei Xu was completely stunned.
Lu Bu seemed to be drunk, and he didn't seem to be drunk, his combat power was still there, but his brain was completely confused.
Seeing that Wei Xu no longer spoke, he became excited, and began to shout about his ideas, his plans, his earth-shattering exploits and great deeds, and even his dreams when he was a teenager.
Wei Xu looked at this middle-aged man with nonsense in his eyes coldlyβthis was his lord.
- Not like an individual, but like some beast of infinite strength.
"The general is drunk, and he drinks excessively today, is it mine," he said at last, "and the general should rest here." β
Lu Bu hiccuped and looked at him with a smirk, muttering something as if he was saying something, but Wei Xu couldn't hear it clearly at all, and he wasn't going to listen to it anymore.
He stood up and was about to walk out when the slurred and incoherent words in Lu Bu's mouth suddenly became coherent.
"Ah," he said, "I miss your sister, if she is still ......."
Wei Xu's eyes seemed to want to rush to something for a moment.
It was something that poured up from his heart, so sour and bitter that his whole body trembled!
If she were still there, he thought, I would not have betrayed you if I died.
But he turned his head and glanced at the man leaning against the wall.
"General Lei Lei's husband, a world-famous general, still remembers his children's affairs, doesn't it make people laugh and talk?"
He said lightly.
Chapter 353
Cangtingjin is just a ferry, and the nearest city to it is in Fancheng, a few miles away from the ferry. This is an important ferry port for Qingxu to enter Jizhou from the north, so it was once very prosperous.
But now it's a lot deserted.
Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and then to Tian Kai and Yuan Tan's mutual attacks, until now, the lower reaches of the Yellow River have been very barren and deserted, there are no merchants to come and go, and naturally there are not so many people crossing the river.
Therefore, Zhang Miao brought more than a dozen followers, and when he entered Fan City, he was even slightly surprised by the depression of this earthen city.
Despite its depression, the shishu in and around the city seemed to be living comfortably.
- The requirements of the Qianshou are always very low, even if there is oppression and natural disasters are frequent, as long as there is no war, the government should not exploit it too much, they can always struggle in their own fields, desperately digging out a mouthful of grass roots mixed with mud to fill their stomachs.
And looking at the appearance of these civilians in Fan City, it seems that this magistrate is not too outrageous.
β¦β¦ If Lu Hangyu saw Chen Rong, she would immediately decide: This is a person who can't be convinced.
Because he doesn't look like a martial artist, he doesn't have a trace of chic and heroic momentum on his body.
Chen Rong is more than thirty years old, finely dressed, elegant manners, and a relaxed expression, he doesn't seem to see the bloody wind and rain of the Han Dynasty in the past ten years, not only him, but also the courtyard where Zhang Miao and he walked through have also been cleaned up quietly and neatly, revealing a little Huang Lao's bearing.
When he met with Zhang Miao, he was not arrogant, nor enthusiastic, and of course his attitude was not casual, but politely invited him into the house to sit down, and briefly greeted his family if they were well.
"I know that Lang Jun was originally Zang Ziyuan's former official, so I have something to ask for," Zhang Miao said very sincerely, "I am willing to take the time to see it today, which is enough to see Lang Jun's high righteousness." β
When he heard the words "Zang Ziyuan", Chen Rong's eyes moved slightly.
"If Gong Zhang comes for Zang Envoy Jun and wants to say ...... in front of Duke Yuan"
Zhang Miao remained silent and patiently listened to him finish speaking.
But Chen Rong wanted to speak and stopped, and finally just shook his head slightly.
"I came for Zang Ziyuan, but not for him to ease his cheeks," Zhang Miao said, "I want to send troops out of Xiaopei and rescue Puyang!" β
