Wuhu Mingyue

Chapter 180: Surprised (Part [-])

On the first day of September in the third year of AD, at three quarters and two minutes (one hour is equal to eight quarters. <a quarter is divided into three minutes, at this time about half past one in the morning) Tongguan, the alarm bells have been ringing throughout Tongguan.

Standing on the high wall of Tongguan, Zhao Ling looked at the people who were getting closer and closer not far away, and his whole body tensed up. Suddenly, those people and horses stopped advancing...

Zhao Yi on the side was also aroused by the tense atmosphere in front of him. Not only were the people not far away in good order, but judging from their unhurried manner after they stopped, they seemed to be stationed not far away... …

And it was this seemingly unhurried attitude that made Zhao Ling and all the Tongguan defenders terrified...

"General... Which family do you think this is from?"

"It's different, it's really extraordinary, it's worthy of being the direct descendant of King Shi'an!"

"Shi'an King Liu Yao?!! He's here too? General! How did you find out?"

"Didn't you see their formation? A typical wedge-shaped (generally composed of several triangles) cavalry formation of the Huns!"

"Well, yes, it's an attack formation with three arrows."

"Huh, this is King Shi'an and Liu Yao's team. Others usually have double arrows, but King Shi'an likes to use the three-arrow attack formation. I also heard about this from General Zhao Ran."

"Three arrows, so powerful, how sharp this formation should be to tear apart the enemy camp..."

"Sharpness is just one thing, and the most powerful part of this formation is Liu Yao's commanding ability on the battlefield and the coordination ability of the generals. Think about it, once this army moves, especially when the cavalry is rushing, it will not hear any command at all. Not only that, these three arrows also need to cooperate with each other. Once there is a problem with the attack of one arrow, how to cooperate with the other two arrows, and how not to attack one's own people are difficult to reconcile. It's not something in the pool..."

"Then what do we do now?"

"General Zhao ordered me to do things cheaply before leaving, but we must let Tongguan be in our hands!"

"What does the general mean?"

Zhao Ling really didn't have any good ideas at the moment, Liu Can and Liu Yao had both come, and he was already caught between these two kings, one would have to move his head if he didn't handle it well, especially because he wanted to keep Tongguan has offended His Royal Highness Liu Can...

Seeing that Zhao Ling had been silent all this time, Zhao Yi couldn't say anything, so he just waited silently...

Suddenly, Zhao Ling spoke: "Zhao Yi, I'm going to the barracks of King Shi'an Liu Yao now, you go to appease His Highness the Crown Prince first, don't need to say too much, just say that King Shi'an is here, everything else waits I'll talk about it when I come back."

"Yes, General, should the alarm bell stop beating?"

"No need, it's not bad to scare the Crown Prince, hahaha!"

Not long after, Tongguan Prefect's Mansion, Liu Can's residence

"Zhao Yi, what are you talking about? King Shi'an Liu Yao's men are here?"

"Yes, His Royal Highness! General Zhao Ling has already gone to King Shi'an first!"

"Bold Zhao Ling, he dared to go first! Then what am I, a dignified prince?!"

Chen Yuanda was also a little displeased. For such a thing, a small temporary prefect of Tongguan dared not inform His Royal Highness to go to find King Shi'an first. Was this Zhao Ling trying to provoke a conflict between His Royal Highness and King Shi'an?What a vicious villain! "

After hearing the news, Liu Ya became extremely calm, except for those two restless eyes that kept rolling around...

"Your Highness, please calm down. Our general said that he is still unable to confirm whether it is His Royal Highness King Shi'an, because the sky is too dark to see the opponent's flag clearly. We can only guess from the three-arrow formation listed by the opponent..."

As soon as Liu Can heard that this was the case, his anger slowly dissipated a little, only to hear Zhao Yi continue to say: "The general is worried that the Jin army did this on purpose, so I went to investigate first, and I will report to His Royal Highness when I have detailed information. report!"

"Hehe, then I have to thank your general!?"

"Don't dare, serve His Highness the Son of Heaven, I will die!"

When Liu Can heard this, he couldn't help snorting coldly.

"His Royal Highness, I will go to the pass now and wait for General Zhao to come back. If there is any news, I will inform His Highness as soon as possible. I will retreat now..."

Liu Can waved his hand impatiently, signaling Zhao Yi to quickly disappear in front of him.

When Zhao saw that Liu Can had no intention of staying behind, he quickly retreated respectfully, and hurried to the pass.

After seeing Zhao Yi leave, Chen Yuanda personally closed the door of Liu Can's residence, and then said to Liu Can unhurriedly, "Your Highness, King Shi'an Liu Yao used to use a cavalry formation with three arrows. This is well known in the Han Kingdom." Yes, presumably he is here, what's your Highness's plan?"

"What are you going to do? I can't even make decisions about this Tongguan. Who is Liu Yao? He is just an adopted son picked up by my grandfather, but I still want to call him uncle! When he was young, he fled to Silla and Baekje. Why didn’t you die there when you were here!?”

"Your Highness, this remark is out of character!"

"Humph!"

"Your Highness, according to the veteran, Liu Yao is already late..."

When Liu Can heard what Chen Yuanda said, his heart suddenly became brighter. Yes, he was indeed late!

"Your Highness, after Zhao Ling confirms whether she is really Queen Shi'an, His Highness can ask her when they meet, whether to march together or one after the other..."

"Of course there is a difference! Marching together is a disobedience! If he agrees to let our army go first, he will only be our reinforcements, and it will be of great benefit to His Highness without any harm!"

Liu Can was obviously taken aback, the joints were so small by Chen Yuanda, it was really the same thing, the emperor asked me to attack Chang'an, didn't he just want me to make more military exploits?He, Liu Yao, just took down Luoyang, and he would also want Chang'an. If it's not rebellion, what is it?Why didn't I see my father's plan?Ha ha!This Chen Yuanda really deserves to be his father's confidant!

Thinking of this, Liu Can also regained his due bearing, and said slowly: "What Master Chen said, is indeed old-fashioned to seek the country!"

As soon as Liu Ya heard Chen Yuanda's analysis, she immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Before, she had fantasized about eating two meals a day, flattering Liu Can on one side, and flattering King Shi'an Liu Yao on the other. Now it seems that my emperor already has a perfect plan After making a plan, I really can't easily go the wrong way, on the wrong side...

Jin Zhun didn't expect that Chen Yuanda, who had always been serious, would say such a thing. It seems that there is no one who can achieve his position...

Outside Tongguan, in Liu Yao's army

Seeing that Liu Yao didn't order to attack Tongguan or rest on the spot, but just let the army stand still, Fu Hu couldn't help it for a while, and asked You Ziyuan: "Master, we If you don't attack or set up camp, what is your majesty's plan?"

"I don't know!"

"I don't know?! I thought you were the roundworm in the king's stomach!"

When You Ziyuan heard Fu Hu's words, he was immediately amused, and thought: This reckless man is not stupid!

At this time, a man who looked like a small school rushed over and shouted loudly: "Report! There is a man from Tongguan who said there is an urgent military situation!"

You Ziyuan frowned, someone from Tongguan?Has Tongguan changed hands?

"Quick, bring him here!"
