Lu's relatives

Chapter 477
Jiang Qin was committed and resourceful, while Zhou Tai was brave and observant. Both of them were not easily angered. Otherwise, they would not have been valued by Sun Quan in history, and they would have become important generals in the late Eastern Wu Dynasty.But right now, the two seem to be in a mess.He actually tried to use less than a thousand soldiers defending the city to go out of the city to fight against Cao Xing's five thousand Qingzhou soldiers. In this move, apart from Lu Su who did not stop the two, even the soldiers under the two men's command were forced to fight against Cao Xing when they were carrying out the military order. , I was also hesitant in my heart.

The prestige of Lv Bu's army's good fighting skills has been spread along with the flying general Lv Bu's fierce reputation, and the world knows it.In addition, there are rumors that the person who led the attack on Jiangdong this time was about the same age as his lord, but he had made half of the generals in Hulaoguan several times overwhelmed by the present governor of Xuzhou, Lu Bu's son-in-law Qin Xu.

Those people are all ruthless people.Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Kong Rong, Gongsun Zan, etc. were also famous all over the world.But I don't know why, after meeting this envoy of Qin, he seems to be so powerful that he has nowhere to use it. Either he is forced to lose his face, or he ends up dying. Even his own lord Sun Ce , isn't it also forced to hide in Yuzhang County, which is enough to see the lethality of the evil star.

But now, the evil star was teased by the lord Sun Ce. First, he ignored the four lines of defense that his own forces had painstakingly laid out, broke through Xiaoguan with one blow, and won Danyang without a fight. However, it was actually less than [-] exhausted soldiers who came from afar, and they frightened our army back away, and won Fuguan, which was already within easy reach of our own army.And now, this evil star has borrowed the area controlled by Shanyue again, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and appeared outside Wangu County, where the ratio of soldiers on both sides reached a terrifying thirty to one ratio. So far, Qin Xu's intentions have become Everyone knows it.

Yuzhang!Qin Xu's goal is Yuzhang.Even ordinary soldiers could see Qin Xu's ultimate goal, and no one believed that Zhou Yu, who was guarding Yuzhang at the moment, and Sun Ce, who was leading the troops outside, would not know.Now the small town of Wangu was completely besieged, but Yuzhang still didn't say even a little news about the arrival of reinforcements.Although I heard the news that my lord led the troops to advance northward, I couldn't quench my thirst when I was far away. God knows how many miles Sun Ce chased Yan's rout in his rage. Unless his fellow army advisor Zhou Yu had another good strategy, the general who planned to kill would come back. With the current strength of Sun's army, which is only about [-] men, even if they meet head-on, they probably don't have much chance of winning.

The huge comparison of troops and the current situation of being surrounded by groups make the spread of this kind of thoughts very fast. If you continue like this, let alone sitting on the sidelines and waiting for help, it is a great achievement to maintain the morale of the soldiers. Big question.In fact, it was also my fault that Qin Xu didn't give clear instructions before, so that Cao Xing made a mistake and led [-] elite soldiers together with the more than [-] Chinese troops who arrived earlier. Seeing that there were few soldiers in the city, the entire Wangu County was immediately surrounded.

Therefore, although the behavior of Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai seems a bit reckless, and they are suspected of hitting a stone with an egg, but it is indeed the most correct way to survive in a dangerous situation at this moment and to fight for a chance of survival.After all, there is no such thing as a "violent general" in Qin Xu's army, and it is already known to everyone in Jiangdong.In the tacit thinking of the two, although Cao Xing's bow skills are good, as long as they can get close to him, the two are still sure to take it down with Zhou Tai's force.In this way, at least the coming army has some scruples, and perhaps it can buy some time for the arrival of Yuzhang Zhou Yu or Sun Ce's reinforcements who are nowhere in sight.

"Are these two people Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai?" Qin Xu asked Sima Mao who was beside him when he saw two big men in full armor coming out of the city.

When the two of them came out of Wangu County slowly with dozens of horsemen, just behind Cao Xing's army formation, Qin Xu had already arrived here. It was only because of the high mountains and dense forests nearby that people didn't immediately notice this moment. The number of soldiers besieging the city has more than doubled.Originally, this situation should not have appeared on the battlefield.In the Central Plains, almost anyone who has been a soldier for a few days knows that there must be no large forests near the city, otherwise it is very likely to become the source of materials for the enemy to make siege equipment.But Wangu County is too inconspicuous, and it was only built here to temporarily resist the Shanyue Liu bandits from plundering food. Before, it was just a wooden city wall that could cause headaches for the Shanyue barbarians. Since it was replaced with a stone city wall, It even made the Shanyue barbarians sigh, helpless in the face of the low city wall, which was no more than two feet high.This kind of situation made the defenders in the county at this moment never have thought that one day, elite soldiers from the Central Plains would come here to attack such a small county.Not to mention the troublesome task of clearing the forest more than ten miles outside the city.

"It should be these two people." Sima Mao took a careful look at Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai who were calling in front of the city, nodded and said: "If you dare to come out of the city to fight when you are surrounded by our army, if it is not These two people must have great support, so they must have other plans in their hearts."

"Isn't it just rumors that all the generals of our army were taken away by the lord, and I came here in a hurry, and there were no violent generals in the army to make trouble! Presumably these two people were also forced to do nothing, so they made this dangerous trip Let's move!" Qin Xu curled his lips and said with a smile: "But this is good, and it will save you a lot of effort to find a way to transfer these two people out of the city. Let's go and inform General Dian, 'Business 'coming!"

"No!" Sima took the order and went away, but Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai in front of him had already started to shout.Although it is said that the rites and music have collapsed these years, people's hearts are not ancient, rulers are not rulers, ministers are not ministers, and what's more, the Three Kingdoms have become a mess, but I have to say that there are some customary rules that are not It is very strange that people in the world stubbornly stick to it, and sometimes it is even more incomprehensible.For example, as it is now, if the two armies are planning to fight against each other in front of the formation, the soldiers will inevitably be restrained from firing cold arrows before they respond or refuse, otherwise the morale of the army will be greatly affected. of.And even if they win, they are often even looked down upon by their soldiers.Therefore, in the history of the Three Kingdoms, there is no record that the two armies will shoot and kill those who plan to fight before the battle between the two armies. This is the case.Therefore, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai could go out of the city and come to the front of the two armies without risking their lives before the battle.

"Wu Na enemy general! Seeing that you are good at archery, do you have the guts to compete with your grandfather Zhou's weapons?" Zhou Tai took the lead, and Jiang Qin was escorted by more than ten cavalry, facing the two armies with extremely different strengths. Without the slightest fear in front of the formation, he raised the nine-ring sword in his hand, pointed at Cao Xing who was standing in front of the formation and asked.

"It's so embarrassing to come, just now a certain family has let you go, but you are still so arrogant, don't hurry up and get your name!" Out of the corner of Cao Xing's eye, he saw that the army on the right was wearing a suit. Dian Wei, who is an ordinary school captain in armor, is rushing here at a fast pace under orders. With a firm mind, he slowly hung the huge bow in his hand obliquely behind his back, smiled, and crossed his arms on the horse, and said.

"That's Zhou Tai from Jiujiang! Who are you? Why did you offend our county for no reason?" Listening to Cao Xing's words and saying that the three arrows shot at him just now, he didn't expect it to be an arrow with a broken arrow. Zhou Tai was full of knives. Scar's face also inevitably froze, took a deep breath, and temporarily shook off all doubts, and said in a deep voice with a broad knife in his hand.

"Shh... Prefectures and counties? Is there no reason?" Seeing that Dian Wei was about to arrive at the front of the battle, Cao Xing wanted to pass the time, and said with a sneer, "Aren't you deaf, you barbarian? Didn't you hear clearly the call to action just now? Not to mention that your small town is also worthy of being called a prefecture and county. Sun Ce, the prefect of Yuzhang, took advantage of the opportunity of our lord General Lu to send troops to Hebei to mediate the Yuan family's war, and recklessly raised his army, intending to rebel against his chief officer, Yangzhou Mu Liuyou, and commit chaos. , tormenting prefectures and counties, my General Qin ordered rebellion, why can it be called unreasonable?"

"Bah! Even if General Sun intends to plan for the land of Yangzhou, it is to fulfill the duty of a Jiangdong person. Whether it is right or wrong, there should be a big man to make a conclusion. Don't deceive me, your lord Lu Bu, It’s for Qingzhou Mu, and that General Qin you call is for Xuzhou Mu, so it’s not possible that you’re trying to get involved in Yangzhou, so you’re making trouble?” Zhou Tai winked at Jiang Qin, indicating that if he really fights for a while, First of all, just to be on the safe side, if Cao Xing cannot be captured alive as a hostage, it is best for Jiang Qin to take the opportunity to take action with a bow and arrow, as a "double insurance", while reprimanding Cao Xing for his previous words.

"Ha! Ignorant boy! No wonder you were deceived by that thief Sun Ce. Just now, we have already said in our military proclamation that my General Qin Xu was named Wutinghou and General Zhengdong by the Son of Heaven because of his work in rescuing him! Jurisdiction over the four prefectures of Qing, Xu, Yu and Yang! There is also a letter of appeal for help written by Liu Zhengli, the shepherd of Yangzhou. How can you not control the rebellious behavior of that thief Sun Ce? It is ridiculous that you are a small guarding the city. Resignation, the righteous act of slandering our righteous soldiers is extremely ridiculous. People like you, regardless of their official rank or military status, are not worthy of fighting against someone, Captain Dian, this person will be handed over to you Teach this family a lesson for this ignorant frog in a well!" Seeing Zhou Tai's extremely majestic physique, and the nine-ringed sword in his hand that looked like it weighed tens of catties, Cao Xing still had self-knowledge, knowing that he might The ten moves that can't be passed in his hands at all, but as the general of an army, since the opponent has already called the battle, if there is no response, it is extremely inappropriate, and it will also be a great blow to the morale of the soldiers.Fortunately, seeing that Dian Wei had quietly taken his place, Cao Xing was finally relieved. With such a force comparable to Lu Bu's power, Cao Xing's confidence was also strengthened, and he happily taught Zhou Tai a lesson. Addiction, he blatantly pushed all the troubles on Dian Wei's head.

"Huh?" Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were born as traitors. Although they knew that Lu Bu, who was known as the number one fierce general in the Central Plains, was very powerful, and since Lu Bu's army set foot in Jiangdong, they knew more about his generals, but No matter how detailed it is, I probably won't notice that Dian Wei, who has been kept low-key before, has been appointed as the commander of the personal guard battalion by Lu Bu just now because of Song Xian's death. .What Zhou Tai thinks about the most now is still secretly calling Cao Xing's cunning, which made the plan he planned with Jiang Qin before, and there is a crisis of "bankruptcy".Therefore, after Cao Xing pointed out, Zhou Tai frowned slightly and looked back at Jiang Qin, who also had an unnatural expression, as if he wanted to find a solution with Jiang Qin.

"Heh! Do you want to fight a certain family and take the opportunity to capture it in exchange for a chance of life for Wangu County?" Cao Xing, who became one of the eight generals around Lu Bu in history, is not a fool, and Zhou Tai's intentions just now were indeed too much. It's too obvious, and it can't be hidden from the eyes of caring people.However, Cao Xing was not angry at all. Instead, he chuckled, pointed at Dian Wei who had pulled out the double iron halberds and said, "It was also said in the article just now, General Qin sees that you are just waiting Since Sun Ce was coerced, he had no choice but to become a traitor to fight against the imperial court, so it is quite lenient. In this way, some people also have fun, let's make a bet, if one of the two of you can win this army from a certain army A flag-holding school Wei Dian, how about that family simply put up a face and beg my General Qin to let everyone in Wangu County let you live?"

"Huh?" Whether it was Zhou Tai or Jiang Qin, seeing that Cao Xing didn't take the bait, they already had the intention to repay Sun Ce with death, but when they heard Cao Xing's words suddenly, their hearts suddenly jumped. For a while, I didn't understand why Cao Xing, who had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength and morale, would suddenly say this.When the majestic and unusually burly Dian Wei came out, the two of them had some understanding in their hearts, and at the same time, they also felt a little bit of surprise.

Although it is said that physical strength is not a loss, it is only applicable to ordinary people, but it is not a problem at all for generals.And when they saw that Dian Wei was dressed like a low-level captain, they first felt contemptuous in their hearts, and a smile appeared on their faces involuntarily.

"Then if one of us loses, so what? Is it possible for you to be the master?" In the end, it was Jiang Qin who could hold his breath the most, and looked up and down at Dian Wei, who was just a bit more vicious. , In the questioning of Cao Xing, some tricks were also used.

"You are a small city in Wangu, and I can take it down in an instant. The reason why I am playing tricks with you is just to comfort the army and have fun. I am happy when I win, and I am happy when I lose. Is it possible to pay this fee? Is it possible to trick you with such strength? A certain family just said that as long as you wait for one person to win, they will let you wait for the Wangu County soldiers to leave safely, and you will never break your promise." Cao Xing saw Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin was taking the bait step by step according to Qin Xu's previous arrangement, with a smile full of "sincerity" on his face, and said: "Of course, since it's a bet, it's impossible not to let you win. How about it, My General Qin has been going out in a hurry recently, and there are not many personal guards around him. If both of you lose, how about going to be General Qin's guard for three months? Don't worry, it's only three months, and you have to stay when the time comes , listen to your honor! A certain family can agree to the two of General Qin on this point. I just don’t know, do you have the courage to wait!”

"This..." To be honest, if this is true, then to Zhou Taitong and Jiang Qin's ears, it really seems to be an act just for fun, and it is completely incompatible with the chilling atmosphere in front of the arena.But Cao Xing said it solemnly, and the conditions seemed to be extremely favorable for the two of them. The crisis in Wangu County behind them and the delayed arrival of reinforcements made the two of them feel oppressed, and they didn't see through Cao Xing's words at all. Whether it was Zhou Tai or Jiang Qin, although the two were cautious, they still couldn't detect Cao Xing's other plans for the two people who were now close to strangers. Nodding his head immediately, he said to Cao Xing in a deep voice: "I have heard for a long time that General Qin of your army is the most trustworthy. I believe that Your Excellency will not lightly talk about insulting people, so let it be!"

"Wu Na Hei Si, Jiujiang Zhou Tai is here to learn!" The matter has been agreed, Zhou Tai forced himself to have no more worries, seeing that Dian Wei had never ridden a horse, Zhou Tai did not want to take advantage of it, besides, there are many waterways in Jiangdong, Zhou Tai's navy It is indeed difficult for a warrior to show his strength on a horse, so he sold it for a good deal. He also abandoned the horse and took the knife, and rushed to the side of Dian Wei who seemed to be frightened stupidly in the field, exhausted all his strength, and moved towards the dull-faced Dian Wei slashed, seeing the knife rushing down, getting closer and closer to Dian Wei, and Dian Wei was holding the iron halberd in his hand, as if he didn't react at all, the triumphant smile on Zhou Tai's face became more and more It's getting deeper.

"Huh?!" The deepening smile on Zhou Tai's face is still hanging on his face, and his body is getting closer and closer to Dian Wei. You can almost see Dian Wei's unsightly ugly face. With a look of pity.etc!mercy?Zhou Tai was also an excellent warrior, so he naturally had the intuition of a warrior, and felt something was wrong in his heart instantly.Unfortunately, it was too late for Zhou Tai to react.

"Boom!" There was a piercing sound of gold and iron, and a figure flew out in response...
