Chapter 040: Assassination (039)
In the next few days, Ding Yi specially called Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang to inquire about the situation of the Yellow Turban Army, but unfortunately these two goods are not the core personnel of the Yellow Turban Army, and Xuzhou is not the center of the Yellow Turban Outbreak. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The original plan was to go to Xuzhou in about ten days, and I walked straight for eighteen days, the road conditions are not complicated, and the mountain road is pitted.
It was nearly noon, the scout came to report, ten miles outside Xuzhou City, Mi Zhu led the Xuzhou civil and military to wait to greet him.
Ding Yi gave the order, the whole army rested, buried the pot to cook, tidy up the appearance after eating, and make some simple preparations, part of the cavalry was put on the two wings by Ding Yi, and the infantry was separated by hundreds of meters in parallel, and the heart of defense was indispensable, and safety was the first.
The whole army is majestic and majestic, the armor is bright, and finally I saw the long-awaited Xuzhou civil and military.
Mi Zhu has a slender figure, an indifferent expression, a white face and a short beard, gentle and elegant, more than seven feet, is a middle-aged man in his early thirties, and when he saw Ding Yi's flag from afar, he ordered people to beat gongs and drums, the atmosphere was extremely hot, Ding Yi smiled, it seems that he greeted Shangguan and engaged in formalism, which is the same in ancient and modern times.
The person behind Mi Zhu, his face is somewhat similar to Mi Zhu, and his height is similar, but he is just stronger, dressed in armor, and also with a modest smile, he looks very good-tempered, Mi Zhu introduced him as his younger brother Mi Fang, Ding Yi couldn't help but take a few more looks, I don't know why this person would betray Shu Han with the respect of his uncle many years later, killed Guan Yu, lost Jingzhou, and ruined the overall situation of the Hou Han. Mi Fang saw that Ding Yi paid attention to himself very much, and even glanced at the sunshine and bowed to the ground!
Sun Gan, Jian Yong, Wang Lang, Chen Jiao, Zhao Yu and others, all of them are outstanding, graceful and generous, and have long bodies, which makes people feel strange, this Xuzhou civil and military people are all beautiful men, Tao Qian and Liu Bei's aesthetics are good.
After seeing the ceremony, Xuzhou had already prepared the military camp and grain and grass for the army, since someone came up to lead the army into the camp, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, Cen Ning three departments respectively entered the relevant camps, Ding Yi and Xun You took Xu Zhu, Zhao Yun and other five hundred guards into the city with Mi Zhu.
The city of Xuzhou is tall, but the lower half is old, the upper half is new, and it is obviously newly repaired. There are still many scars on the city wall, there are arrow holes, there are also deep pits smashed by stones, and there are fire marks and dirt in some places, which look desolate in the spring, and the four fields can see a few people busy from time to time, and the green and tender wheat seedlings in the fields are half a foot high.
Seeing Ding Yi outside the city of Xuzhou, he immediately watched, Mi Zhu beside him, stretched out his hand and pointed to the city wall: "The people are struggling! In recent years, Cao thieves have attacked many times, and Lu Bu has attacked Xuzhou, although there are elders like Xuande Gong who love the people like children, the people of Xuzhou are also miserable, some time ago it was rumored that Sun Ce went north, and the people of Xuzhou have many people who have avoided the deep mountains, and now the market is depressed, I only hope that my Han court can return the peace of the people as soon as possible, so that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment!"
Ding nodded: "Well, I'm waiting to go south, just to pacify Sun Ce, how is the battle in Guangling? ”
Mi Zhu said: "I just received an urgent delivery from Guangling, General Zhang Liao has already arrived in Guangling, and under the influence of this, Sun Ce's army has retreated, but the detailed military situation still has to wait for the battle report! General, will you enter the city immediately? The fathers and elders in the city are still waiting for the general to receive them." ”
"Okay, enter the city!" Ding Yi took the lead and galloped forward.
Many people watched on both sides of the city gate, the front row were gentry dressed in fine silk, everyone was elated, and the back row was the ragged common people, all of whom had a sad face, but their mouths followed the people in the front row to give a cheer of welcome, very reluctantly.
Ding Yi couldn't help nodding his head and rode his horse slowly.
Since Ding Yi got the "Taiping Technique" a month ago, he studied it every day, and the small Wuxiang Gong was completed, and the other exercises did not make much progress, and he felt that he had a spiritual sense beyond ordinary people, and seemed to be able to feel the influence of the surrounding environment on himself, and the sky over Xuzhou seemed to be filled with sadness, which he understood that Xuzhou had experienced too many wars in recent years, and people like Cao Cao, Lu Bu and others were very cold-blooded, and they were particularly cruel to the people. Ding Yi quietly felt this sadness, spring is coming, and I hope that Dahan can bring hope to everyone like spring.
After walking about a mile, in front of him is the restaurant arranged by Mi Zhu for everyone, Ding Yi suddenly felt unwell, as if there was an unknown danger approaching him, he turned his head to look at Mi Zhu on his side, Mi Zhu thought that Ding Yi had something to order, and hurriedly took two steps forward, close to Ding Yi, and asked the general what he ordered.
"Be careful!" Ding pressed the horse's back with one hand, his body took off the saddle and got up, lifted Mi Zhu with his hand, shook him, threw him into the crowd on the left, retreated, half-turned around and waved his hand, pushing Xun You from the horse into the crowd on the right.
"Alert, Assassin!" the guards drove forward, each taking a large shield to protect everyone, dozens of masked men armed with strong bows and crossbows appeared in the houses on both sides, and as soon as they appeared, they fired crossbow arrows in unison.
There was chaos on the long street, the people panicked, and more than a dozen people were shot to the ground by stray arrows. Xu Zhu roared, jumped off the horse, rushed to the left, the people in front of him were pushed by him and fell out, to a big house next to the street, he kicked away, the whole wall fell backwards, in the smoke and dust, Xu Zhu rushed in, shouting and fighting from time to time.
Zhao Yun drove the war horse forward, and reached the front of everyone, the spear in his hand danced a ball of silver light, and many arrows flew in all directions, some of which shot on the armor of the guards. Zhao Yun was still shouting and ordered: "Zhou Cang, take your headquarters to capture the roof on the left, Pei Yuanshao, take the bow and shoot! Suppress, suppress!"
Mi Fang kept waving the spear in his hand and shouted: "Guard, guard!" The people he led erected a big shield and tightly surrounded him and Xuzhou Wenwu in the middle.
As soon as Ding fell to the ground, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he pulled the bow and arrow on the back of a personal guard horse, the bow opened like a full moon, and an arrow shot out, and a masked man on the roof fell down, Ding Yi ripped off the quiver and put it on his waist, stepped forward, shot an arrow in one step, and one arrow fell on one person.
The sergeants were fine as the arrows flew, but the people kept falling and fled into the alleys and houses in a panic, and some were cut to the ground by the sergeants before they ran into the big shield.
Zhao Yun at the forefront saw the shield array: "Drive!" As soon as he pulled the horse, his legs hit the horse's belly, and the jade lion in the night instantly started, running to the right, just approaching the wall of an outer courtyard, Zhao Yun held the spear in his hand on the wall, and the whole person had already turned upside down, the spear waved, and four or five black shadows were hit hard and floated down. Zhao Yun's footsteps did not stop, as if covering the ground, the spear kept flashing, the masked man turned his head and shot at him, all of them were knocked away, and in the blink of an eye, the roof on the right side had been cleared by him.
On the left, Zhou Cang led the people to attack the roof on his back, and he couldn't attack it for a while. Seeing that something could not be done, someone on the right shouted: "Go, retreat! Retreat!" Xu Zhu had already rushed to the roof, but he was not good at light body kung fu, and he stepped on the roof with a rattle, and the roof tiles kept cracking, and his progress was not fast.
Ding Yi put away his bow, walked up to Mi Fang, and said: "Order, close the city gates, the whole city is closed, be sure to catch the assassin!" He turned his head to the guards behind him and said, "Order Cen Ning's troops to enter the city and assist the Xuzhou army in searching for assassins!" Inform the other departments to stay on guard!" The guards took the order and ran out of the city with dozens of people.
Mi Fang hurriedly saluted: "Yes!" Under Ding's eye, he kept giving orders, and the soldiers guarding him continued to divide into small groups of men and horses and ran everywhere.
