Wuhu Mingyue

Chapter 167: Tongguan Mutiny

Daizi Ying Township in the east of Tongguan

Zhang Guangzheng, the governor of Liangzhou, and Yang Maosou, the king of Qiuchi, were inspecting the deployment of the camp. Zhang Mai, the son of Zhang Guang, the governor of Liangzhou, and Yang Jiantou, the youngest son of Yang Maosou, the king of Di, were accompanying them.

"Brother Jingwu, the terrain here is too flat, and the Huns have far more cavalry than us. If we confront them head-on, it will be at our disadvantage!"

"Brother Maosou, you and I went all the way after meeting in Liangzhou in secret, and even deceived Nanyang King Sima Mo, just to give a severe blow to the Xiongnu who dared to invade Chang'an. We are surprise soldiers. They never thought of breaking through Hangu Pass. Finally, you will encounter resistance here!"

"Of course, I don't have any doubts about Brother Jingwu's strategy. It's just that my right eyelid has twitched a lot in the past few days. I'm worried that surprise soldiers like us will cause unnecessary trouble. If the defenders in Tongguan mistake us for the Huns, the consequences will be disastrous. Ah, after all, the sudden appearance of a force of [-] cavalry and [-] infantry would be frightening to everyone..."

"No, the defender of Tongguan is Zhang Dan. This man is cowardly and greedy. Even if he knows the enemy's situation, he will only shrink back."

"That's good!"

"Brother Maosou, don't worry too much. Although we are small in number, our soldiers are more expensive than many. The Xiongnu have just captured the Hangu Pass, and they must be very proud. How can they think that we are here waiting for them? As long as we grasp the timing of the attack, we will be able to give it a fatal blow!"

At this time, Yang Jiantou suddenly interjected: "Uncle Zhang, my father actually hopes that our surprise army can get effective support from Tongguan after repelling the first few waves of attacks by the Huns, and at least let us have a safe rear! After all, as far as we know, there are two ways for the Xiongnu to attack this time, we are only defending the east side, and the other way is led by the rebel Zhao Ran, we have to guard against it!"

When Zhang Guang was told by Yang Jiantou, his heart was moved. Yang Maosou's son, Yang Jiantou, could see so far?

Zhang Guang turned around, took a careful look at Yang Jian's head, and then smiled at Yang Maosou: "What a son, Brother Maosou, you have a good son!"

Seeing that Zhang Guang admired his son so much, Yang Maosou also felt that his face was radiant, and said with a smile: "Young son and Mr. Lao can help you a lot!"

"Maier!" Zhang Guang asked his son softly, "Which one is older, you or Jiantou?"

"Reporting to father, my son and Brother Jiantou exchanged birthdays, and Brother Jiantou is the elder brother!"

"Okay! After this battle is over, you will officially become sworn brothers with your strong brother!"

Zhang Mai glanced at Yang Jian's head happily, and thought: This Di man is tall and capable, and his intelligence is not bad, he may be a great help for him in the future!

Thinking of this, Zhang Mai stretched out his hand towards Yang Jian.

Yang Jian also looked at Zhang Mai carefully with his head. He looked down on Zhang Mai a little, but his brother Zhang Jiong is a good guy!

Yang Jian glanced at Yang Maosou, and Yang Maosou nodded affirmatively at Yang Jian.

Only then did Yang Jian stretch out his hand and hold Zhang Mai's hand tightly.

Zhang Guang looked at the two children in relief, and kept nodding at Yang Maosou.

Zhang Guang was very happy. This time, he pulled out the Di people from Qiuchi so that he would not have to worry about the future. Now his son has established a friendship with Yang Maosou's son. It really serves multiple purposes!

Yang Maosou also seemed very pleased, but there was not much happiness on his face...

Zhang Guang noticed Yang Maosou's strangeness, and said with some displeasure: "Brother Maosou, do you have any suggestions?"

"Brother Jingwu is worrying too much. I just remembered that my eldest son, Yang Nandi, has been away for five years and has never heard from him! It would be great if he was still by my side!"

When Yang Maosou said this, Zhang Guang also remembered his eldest son, Zhang Jiong, who was still guarding Liangzhou. His eldest son was very similar to himself, and he was calm and responsible. That's why he asked him to guard Liangzhou for him. Now that Yang Maosou said he misses his eldest son, he actually misses him a little bit.

Yang Mao searched to see that Zhang Guang was also lost in thought, his eyes seemed to show the same longing as himself, and his heart was even more sentimental.

Seeing Yang Maosou being so sentimental, Zhang Guang felt empathy for a while!

Zhang Guang shook his head lightly, thinking: It seems that he and Yang Maosou are both old, and they miss their son on the battlefield...

"Brother Maosou, why did your eldest son leave Qiuchi?"

"Hey, it's a long story. This kid is too murderous, so I don't intend to let him inherit my feud."

After listening to Yang Maosou's words, Zhang Guang seemed a little thoughtful...

Suddenly, Yang Jian turned his head to Zhang Guang and Yang Maosou and said suspiciously: "Father, Uncle Zhang, have you seen the eagle flying in the sky? This kind of bird is not born in Guanzhong!"

Yang Jiantou's words made everyone look up to the sky!

In the sky, there are a few eagles hovering, flying back and forth in the middle of their camp!

Zhang Guang's gaze also became confused. It's not that he didn't see these birds, but he had seen them for many days, but he didn't pay attention to them. Now that Yang Jian said the truth, his heart suddenly became extremely shocked!

"No, Maier, you take people to Tongguan to report the news, you go on a fast horse, and let them prepare for the enemy!"

Yang Maosou asked puzzledly: "Brother Jingwu?"

"Brother Maosou, I once heard Tao Kan, the prefect of Jiangxia (Tao Kan was already the prefect of Wuchang in 3 years) say that the Huns have a means of investigation, which is the eagle. I think we have been exposed! And if I don't Guess wrong, the Huns are already very close to us!"

"There is such a thing? Brother Jingwu, what should we do?"

"Brother Maosou, now it seems that your worry is correct. I asked my son Zhang Mai to go to Tongguan immediately to inform the guard that we will strengthen our defense here and wait for the arrival of the Huns, but the effect of our surprise soldiers should have disappeared. ..."

When Yang Maosou heard what Zhang Guang said, he was also surprised. He didn't expect the Huns to have such a trick! ?It seems to me that I have stayed in Liangzhou for too long, and I don't know anything about the tactics of the Xiongnu. If my son Yang Jiantou didn't find something strange, it might not be as simple as losing the initiative...

Yang Maosou patted his son's shoulder affirmatively, his son gave him too much comfort.

At this time, Zhang Guang was already nervously arranging the important matters of defense, and Zhang Mai had already rode a fast horse to Tongguan with a dozen of his own riders.

But for some reason, both Yang Maosou and Yang Jiantou felt ominous in their hearts. After the father and son glanced at each other, Yang Jiantou spoke first: "Father, I think we should leave Daiziying Township now..."

"Hush, keep your voice down, don't let Inspector Zhang hear it, well, Jiantou, do you also think we shouldn't be here?"

"Well, since the Huns have discovered us, we traveled long distances to hide from all eyes and prepared to deal a fatal blow to the Huns, but unfortunately we have already exposed our position. The Huns must have taken precautions and even changed their strategy. If we are still here, we are too passive... ".

Yang Maosou knew that his son's words were correct, but now that Zhang Guang had ordered a full-scale defense, he was going to defend here. If he were to persuade him now... it seems that now he has to take one step at a time, let's just wait and see what happens , Maybe, the Huns relied on their strength and didn't take their troops to heart, or would they come directly to attack this place?But if they make a detour... Not only is Tongguan in danger, but Zhang Guang and himself will become very passive...
