King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 301

Facing Pei Mao's bitterness, the five sons were still not afraid. Pei Qian said, "Father, then Liu He inherited his father's legacy and has no talents. Even if Liu Yu comes back to life, he will not be afraid. He is willing to help his father resist Liu He." Army!"

"Swear to the death against Liu and the army!" The five sons shouted at the same time.

"My sons! You have such a heart, and my father is very pleased, but my father wants to teach you that those who achieve great things should not be brave and cannot bear a temporary failure. Now, since then, they have come out of Tongguan to chase and kill their son and enemy Zhang Xiu. Nong Duanzhen has already taken refuge in Cao Cao. A certain person can see that Cao Cao's pursuit of Zhang Xiu is false. He wants to get Yongzhou, and Sili is the real one. The killing of Liu He's army is a sign. Liu He is not willing to let that Cao Cao monopolize Si Li, a large city in Yongzhou, weighing the pros and cons, my father has decided to join Cao Cao, hoping to send troops to help us attack Liu He together!" Pei Mao waved his hand and said to his sons.

"This..." The five sons looked at each other, feeling a little unwilling in their hearts. After all, they could not disobey their father's will, so they all bowed to Pei Mao, "Follow the father's will!"

Pei Mao nodded and said, "Okay! Although we are asking Cao Cao for help, Zhang Yan's army has already attacked. Before Cao Cao's reinforcements arrive, we still have to fight Zhang Yan!"

"Hey!" The eyes of the five sons immediately lit up, revealing their excited affection.

"Pei Qian!" Pei Mao shouted.

"The baby is here!" Pei Qian bowed his hands.

"Now, I will appoint you as the deputy commander, and lead the four younger brothers to send troops to Yangcheng immediately! Someone goes to Jiguan to block Sima Lang, remember, don't act rashly, just guard the city, children, although you are brave, but You can't match the enemy's cunning, so you must work together to protect our city, and don't rush into battle!" Pei Mao ordered.

"No!" The five sons shouted together.

Pei Mao has less than [-] troops, among which there are mixed dragons and snakes, and less than [-] are considered elite. There are still some things that Pei Mao is following Cao Cao and Duan Yan to attack Li Jue. Allocate [-] troops to the five sons, and the rest of the army will guard the Jiguan and wait for the arrival of Cao Cao's reinforcements.

Not long after Pei Mao sent away the letter asking for help from Cao Cao, he received a letter from Cao Cao. Pei Mao was overjoyed when he saw it. It seemed that Cao Cao also wanted to win him over. After reading Cao Cao's letter, Pei Mao believed that reinforcements would arrive soon, and he was more confident, just waiting for Liu He's army to come to attack the city.

Jiguan is located at the tail of the Taihang Mountains, so it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so Pei Maocai left a small army for himself, and handed over a large army to his sons to guard Yangcheng. Yangcheng is the only way for Liu and his army to go south. Once Yangcheng was lost, Yangping fell back into the hands of Liu He in an instant, and Hedong was also in jeopardy. Standing on Jiguan, Pei Mao looked at the scenery below the pass and said quietly, "My sons, how many of you are here?" Don't be disobedient..."

Pei Mao's meaning is obvious. He knows his sons very well and is very proud in his heart. He will definitely look down on Zhang Yan's army who is attacking him. What is Zhang Yan's background? Zhang Yan is the remnant of the Yellow Turban bandit. If he hadn't taken refuge in Liu Yu and was still living in the mountains, Pei Mao was afraid that they would underestimate the enemy, and because of their youthful vigor, they would fall into Zhang Yan's scheme.

"My lord! Liu He's army is coming!" Pei Mao was still in a daze, only to hear a shout from the soldiers around him. With an army of tens of thousands, Pei Mao was startled, "This... What's going on, why are there so many people? Could it be that Liu He and the soldiers from Jizhou have also been transferred here?"

"My lord, there are so many enemy troops, it's hard to deal with them!" the guard beside Pei Mao whispered.

"Huh! Useless thing, are you a coward?" Pei Mao shouted, and shouted to the soldiers on the top of the city, "Brothers, I am from Hedong, how about you? Aren't you all from my Hedong? You The rear is your wives, children, and parents. If Liu He's army breaks through our defense line, your wives, children, and parents will be slaughtered by them! Are you willing?"

"No!" Everyone shouted immediately.

"Okay! Then we will use the steel knife in our hands to tell the enemy that our city is inviolable, and we must protect our wives and children! I will be with you!" Pei Mao raised the big knife in his hand and shouted.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" Everyone shouted after hearing Pei Mao's words.

"Hehe! Pei Mao has some tricks, the morale of the enemy army is pretty good!" Down below, Sima Lang laughed when he heard the roar of the door being closed.

"Hmph! My lord, the enemy is very arrogant, why don't you let me go forward and kill him for a while to dampen his spirit!" Sima Lang's close friend said.

"No!" Sima Lang hadn't made a decision when he heard a shout from beside him.

Sima Lang raised his eyebrows and followed the shout, "Oh? General Gao Shun, tell me, why is this not possible?"

"Our army has just arrived. Although your lord set up a trick to make the enemy think that we have tens of thousands of troops, but judging by the momentum at the top of the city, the enemy guard is of course a person who is very good at rectifying the morale of the army. Our momentum is weak, coupled with the structure of this pass, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, our army has just arrived and is very tired, we must not attack the city rashly and lose our troops!" Gao Shun said to Sima Lang.

"Huh! You are a little captain, it is a favor for the adults to take you to the battle, but you are still talking wildly here..." The general who was going to the battle just now became unwilling when he heard it, and reprimanded him.

"Hey... what are you doing? What is wrong with what General Gao Shun said, but I must have set up a plan. General Gao Shun, if our army comes, if there are tens of thousands of troops, how can you Will you keep silent? Doesn't this make Pei Mao suspicious?" Sima Lang laughed.

"But my lord..." Gao Shun said in surprise, he really wanted to say that your lord's one-handed strategy is actually useless. In this way, if you use a tired army to attack an army with strong morale, you will definitely lose a lot soldiers, and Sima Lang brought 1 troops this time, of which more than [-] are available soldiers. Of course, that is in the eyes of Gao Shun. , I will definitely win the pass in front of you!
But this is useless, Gao Shun must not be Sima Lang's confidant, when he knew that he was going to attack Cao Cao, Gao Shun very actively asked to follow Sima Lang to fight, make contributions, be promoted, and be able to lead more troops in the future The army attacked Cao Cao, but although Sima Lang seemed to please his wife, he didn't like Gao Shun very much. You can't be angry, you can only endure it.

"General Gao Shun doesn't need to say anything, let's go up and fight with someone!" Sima Lang smiled and rode his horse forward.

"Hey..." Gao Shun sighed helplessly. This person is not weak in scheming, and he is also very talented, but he is still young after all, and has never experienced too many battles. Li Lin has already defeated Yuan Shao before. When Yuan Shao was the main force, the Sima Lang in front of him was young. Although he was not as high as Li Lin, he was considered a leader of the younger generation at that time. Of course, it made people feel a little proud.

Gao Shun received the disdainful eyes of the people on the side, unwilling to ride his horse forward, shook his head on the spot and sighed, "General Gao Shun is right!" He walked over with a sound.

After Gao Shun heard the sound, he looked back, "Zhong Da!" Gao Shun said silently.

"General Gao Shun, my elder brother really did something wrong. This is just a waste of soldiers. My elder brother still thinks highly of Pei Mao!" It turned out that this person was Sima Yi who followed Sima Lang to the expedition.

"Did Zhongda see it too?" Gao Shun asked in surprise.

Sima Yi nodded and said, "Hehe, general, my eldest brother is too anxious, then Pei Mao will definitely surrender to Cao Cao, so Cao Cao's reinforcements will arrive soon, so the club, the eldest brother wants to quickly take down the pass and enter the river east !"

Gao Shun nodded and said, "But my lord is still too anxious. After all, this will cost the lives of soldiers! By the way... Zhong Da, why don't you tell your lord?"

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Hehe, I don't know my elder brother's temper. As long as he thinks about it, it's useless to be persuaded, unless his father comes to scold him. The commander of the three armies, how can he change the order overnight? So General Gao Shun should be more careful!"

Gao Shun nodded and said in admiration, "Boda can see so clearly at such a young age, I am very impressed!"

"Hehe, during the conversation with General Gao Shun, someone also saw that General Gao Shun is a mighty general in the world, and he admired him very much! My elder brother will definitely use the general again in the future!" Sima Yi laughed.

Gao Shun said a little discouraged, "Hey... I hope!"

"Haha! Don't worry, General Gao Shun, as long as General Gao Shun is at ease with my elder brother, my elder brother will definitely use you!" Sima Yi said very meaningfully. The meaning is obvious, that is, Sima Lang has not regarded Gao Shun as one of his own, after all Gao Shun had a purpose in fighting under Sima Lang's command. Although Sima Lang did not guard against Gao Shun, he would not trust Gao Shun too much.

"The last general will remember it!" Gao Shun said quietly.

The two were talking at the back, but in front, Sima Lang had already arrived at the bottom of the pass, only to see an arrow fly over and hit Sima Lang's feet, and after closing the door, Pei Mao shouted, "Whoever comes, stop, this is my pass." , are fellow officials of the Han Dynasty, why did you send troops here, do you want to attack our city, are you a traitor?" Sima Lang laughed secretly in his heart after hearing this, drink!What a big hat!
