Call of the Deer

Chapter 60 Lu Su's Visit, San Qi Xiang Yan (Third Watch)

However, it was said that Bei Minghao was ready to fight, and when he was about to leave, an unexpected person came to see him. Bei Minghao was a little upset at first, but when he heard the name, he suddenly became interested.

The name of the visitor was Lu Su, and his style name was Zijing. Hearing this, Bei Minghao wondered in his heart. Then he heard that it was the envoy of Sun Quan from Zhenzhou. I had no choice but to meet Lu Zijing.

"Who is under your feet?" Bei Minghao said calmly while sitting high above the hall.

"Reporting to King Yanhuang, I'm next to Lu Su, and according to my lord's order, come to discuss matters..." Lu Su hurriedly saluted and informed.

"Oh, when are you going to report to Gu in person, the Huangzhou of Gu is in a precarious situation, and it seems that it has nothing to do with your lord!" Bei Minghao said indifferently.

"My lord, my lord asked me to come here this time not only to marry a daughter, but also to ask for help and establish an alliance!" Lu Su said quickly.

"Married daughter? Alliance? How do you say this? Please explain it in detail!" Bei Minghao asked with great interest when he heard it.

"Back to Your Majesty, my lord Sun Quan has a younger sister named Sun Shangxiang. She is 16 years old this year. She has a dignified appearance and looks like a country. She is willing to marry the King as a concubine. I only hope that the King can establish an offensive and defensive alliance with my lord..." Lu Suyi Said fifty-one.

"Oh, let's just say that the lonely Huangzhou is now under the enemy's back. Yuzhou, Qianzhou, Sizhou, Yongzhou, and Qinzhou are all coveted. It seems that the alliance is of no benefit to you. Why did you make such a bad move? What about forming an alliance with Gu?" Bei Minghao was lost in thought and asked expressionlessly.

"My lord's eyes are like torches. I have known for a long time that the five-state alliance is just a mess. It is nothing to worry about. It is not enough to shake the king's Huangzhou. Moreover, the king is so talented that it may even cause the five-state alliance to lose his wife and lose his army. So I want to form an alliance with the king in advance!" Lu Su was prepared and unwavering, as if he was determined to form an alliance.

"It's a high opinion, I won't mention this matter, but the alliance must be carried out under equal conditions, and Sun Quan doesn't seem to have an inch of land at the moment, so how can we form an alliance?" Bei Minghao asked again after changing his voice. .

"Your Majesty, my lord is now sitting on the land of Zhenzhou, and there are a lot of talents under his command. Go to the King of Zhenzhou, but the scabies can be wiped out in less than a month!" Lu Su said calmly. , full of confidence in words.

"Oh, does your lord have brothers?" Bei Minghao suddenly changed his voice and asked an irrelevant question. At the same time, feeling a little thirsty, he picked up the teacup and planned to drink some water.

"Well, my lord has a younger brother named Sun Jian, and a younger sister named Sun Shangxiang..." Lu Su was startled, not knowing what Bei Minghao meant, but he said it anyway.

"Pfft... what did you say? Isn't Sun Jian the father of Sun Quan? How did he become a younger brother?" Bei Minghao vomited out as soon as he drank it, and said inexplicably in surprise.

As soon as he finished speaking, he knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he quickly corrected his attitude and said, "Don't blame me, Mr. Gu, I heard that Sun Jian is the father of Sun Quan before, so it's a bit strange."

"Maybe that person doesn't know very well. Sun Jian is the younger brother of my lord Sun Quan. He is extremely brave. He is called Tiger Sun, not my lord's father..." Lu Su said seriously.

"Oh, that's a joke. By the way, sir, you have heard of Sun Ce. It is said that he is Sun Quan's brother!" Bei Minghao asked sideways.

"Sun Ce? I haven't heard me mention that there is such a brother. Who has the king heard about?" Lu Su thought for a while, and he was sure that he understood. At the same time, he looked at Bei Minghao with strange eyes.

"That's right, now in Jiuzhou, not Huaxia, some comings and goings are normal, it doesn't matter if the little bully is not there, maybe in other places, wait until you meet under the command of income!" Bei Minghao fell into deep thought, muttering to himself road.

"My lord, what does your lord mean by the alliance with my lord?" Seeing that Bei Minghao was deep in thought and hadn't spoken for a long time, Lu Su asked.

"Oh, here, Zizhen, what do you think of Gu? Is it an alliance or not?" Bei Minghao hesitated, and asked the new counselor Jing Xiang.

"My lord, I think it's okay to form an alliance with Zhenzhou when Huangzhou is under the enemy's back, but the specific details need to be carefully considered. As for whether to take that sister Sun Quan as a concubine, it all depends on the king's wishes, so I can't say much. !" Jing Xiang thought for a while before replying.

"Well, what Zizhen said coincides with Gu, but now we are taking the initiative, so the specific details are left to Zizhen, Wenhe and Lu Su to discuss. As for Sun Shangxiang, Gu can reluctantly accept it as a concubine. , and discuss the rest yourself!" Bei Minghao said lightly.

In fact, Bei Minghao had already been tempted when Lu Su said that he would send Sun Shangxiang away, but he had a quarrel with Lu Su only out of face and in order to get more benefits.

Afterwards, the matter of forming an alliance was quickly settled. The two sides wrote a covenant, stipulating: the two sides shall not attack each other, and if one party is in trouble, the other party must help the other party to a certain extent. Marry Bei Minghao as a concubine, and at the same time help Bei Minghao deal with the Five Continents Alliance.

And Bei Minghao will provide some horse weapons and sell them to Sun Quan at a low price to show the alliance and assist Sun Quan.

This covenant seems to be taken advantage of by Sun Quanfang, but in Bei Minghao's view, he played a trick. First of all, the equipment and horses can be exchanged, and he can earn some money from the "cheap" sale at that time.

And helping him contain Yongzhou is a big deal. Yongzhou does not show mountains or water, but it is definitely a strong state in Dongzhou. It is not weaker than Qinzhou, and it will even be stronger. When the time comes to contain it, the casualties will be hard to say. In this way As soon as it came, Bei Minghao would have enough time to go through Luegan Prefecture.

After sending Lu Su away, Bei Minghao packed up and set off, sending Tian Dan, Yang Dayan, and Han Qinhu to the north; at the same time, he sent Di Qing, Zhang Hao, and Chen Dao to the south to help Li Cunxiao.

And he took Long Qi, Qin Qiong, Zhang Jai, Li Zhong, Wu Song, Lan Qin and others, and led the Jiuyou Guards to Zhenguan to assist Bai Qi in the strategy of Ganzhou.

……

Dashiguan, Zhao Yun, Cui Hao, Lin Chong and others are sitting in the tent at the moment, discussing the strategy of retreating the enemy.

"Marshal, Xiang Yan, the commander of the Yuzhou Army, is quite strategic, and he also has Yuanzhang, and that archer is also extremely annoying. It seems that there is some trouble at this time!"

Tian Guang's arm was wrapped with cloth strips, he seemed to be injured, and said to Zhao Yun.

"General Tian, ​​don't worry too much at this time. Xiang Yan is very extraordinary, but if he wants to win Dashiguan, he is really not qualified. We will wait for the opportunity!" Lin Chong said calmly.

"Hehe, don't worry, everyone. The art of war says: Surround them ten times, attack them five times, and divide them twice. Now the enemy's army is only one hundred thousand. The consumption of these ten days has already lost nearly twenty thousand. Our army However, the loss of more than [-] people is only [-] compared with each other, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Besides, our army resists the city and defends. Pass, or go back in desperation, as long as our army waits for the Yuzhou army to retreat, we will surely win a big victory."

Zhao Yun had no expression on his face, he was just talking about the facts, and at the same time he was a little depressed.

"General, this statement is true, but General Bai Qi has already won the first battle, wiped out and captured 16 troops in Qianzhou, and captured Yuhe City in one fell swoop. Is the general planning to live here?" Cui Hao said with a smile while looking at Zhao Yun.

As soon as Zhao Yun saw Cui Hao like this, he knew that Cui Hao had plans in his chest, so he hurriedly asked, "Sir taught me, other people also looked at Cui Hao eagerly.

Cui Hao smiled and said: "I don't dare to be a teacher. You are the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and I am a military adviser with the army. It is my job to make suggestions. Cui has a plan. He will go out of the city tonight and attack on the way. There is no need to go to the big city." Battalion, as long as rockets are fired from the outside to create chaos, repeat this, and continue tomorrow. In this way, the Yuzhou army will definitely become a tired army, and it will not be able to rest at night. At that time, Xiang Yan will either increase his efforts to attack the city, or Retreat, no matter which one is beneficial to us, consume the enemy's strength, or when the enemy retreats, the general will lead his troops to fight out, and he can get huge results..."

"What the military said is reasonable!" Everyone felt that Cui Hao's plan was very feasible.

……

"Marshal, the Huangzhou Army's defense is tight, and it is difficult for our army to capture Dashiguan!" A small colonel complained.

"Yuanzhang, the Dashi Pass is now well-defended, and the Huangzhou Army's commander, Zhao Yun, is brave and resourceful. To win the Dashi Pass, I'm afraid it won't be possible overnight. Unless the troops are deployed again, it may be possible for the army to overwhelm..." Xiang Yan said to Yuanzhang.

Yuanzhang gave a wry smile, shook his head, and said: "Five-state alliance, now only our three states send troops, and neither Qinzhou nor Yongzhou see reinforcements. Maybe these two states use the land of our three states to waste the power of Huangzhou and our three states, so as to reap the benefits of fishing..."

"Yuanzhang, this matter is beyond our control. Right now, we must find a way to win Dashiguan, which is the first priority, and leave the rest alone!" Xiang Yan said with a faint glance at Yuanzhang.

After that, everyone began to discuss how to attack Dashiguan again.

Suddenly, shouts of killing came from outside the tent, the killing sound shook the sky, and there was chaos outside the tent, Xiang Yan and his group immediately went out of the tent to check.

"General, it's not good. The Huangzhou army stole the camp and killed and injured many soldiers. I ask the general to make a decision..." A small school came to report.

When Xiang Yan heard this, he was furious, and hurriedly organized his men to strangle him, but when his army arrived, Zhao Yun had already left with a group of soldiers, and went back to the city directly.

Angry, Xiang Yan cursed, but had no choice but to go back and continue camping.

At night, in the dark night, Zhao Yun led his army out of the city again, and charged towards the Yuzhou army camp.

The Yuzhou army had just been attacked and thought that Zhao Yun would not attack again. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun did not play his cards according to common sense and attacked again. This caught the Yuzhou army by surprise.

After thousands of casualties, Zhao Yun withdrew easily again without being hindered at all.

Now the entire Yuzhou army barracks was filled with anger, especially Xiang Yan, whose face was livid at the moment, gnashing his teeth, wishing to tear Zhao Yun to pieces to vent his hatred.

"General, it will be dawn in three hours. Do you want to set up a tight defense? In case Zhao Yun comes again, just..." the young general whispered in Xiang Yan's ear.

"No, I thought Zhao Yun would not dare to attack the camp again and again, hmph, let the soldiers rest..." Xiang Yan glanced at the young general coldly, and said through gritted teeth.

Although everyone was asleep, no one dared to sleep soundly. They waited tremblingly. When dawn was approaching, everyone was so exhausted that they unconsciously fell asleep. The entire camp was extremely silent.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"Crackling, crackling..."

All of a sudden, raging flames ignited throughout the camp, and the military tents were all set ablaze. The fire spread quickly, and when it was discovered, it was too late to put it out, and everyone ran out narrowly escaped death.

"Ah, it's on fire, put out the fire quickly..."

Many people were burned alive, and the whole camp was wailing and chaotic.

"Kill..."

Suddenly, Zhao Yun came out with the silver dragon cavalry, and slaughtered everything he went. At this time, Xiang Yan organized an army to resist.

The two sides fought for a while, leaving behind a lot of corpses, Zhao Yun retreated calmly, Xiang Yan did not dare to pursue, so had to stay to fight the fire and treat the wounded.

At the same time, Xiang Yan's heart was full of remorse and resentment. This night's tossing caused heavy losses. The Yuzhou Army lost more than [-] men. This time, nearly half of the soldiers died in just half a month. This is really hard to bear. accept.

Xiang Yan hated Zhao Yun so much, he wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood, but he didn't have that chance, so he could only be so angry that his seven orifices were smoking...
