Chapter 3410 Welcoming and Sending Off
Chapter 3409 Welcome and send off
Like Liu Ye, Lu Su also left quite eagerly.
It's not that Lu Su has much thoughts about running for the big man, but that Lu Su has been thinking about Zhou Yu's body.
In fact, Lu Su and Zhou Yu had more or less "friendship" through "fighting".
This kind of "friendship" is very interesting, and it can even be said that it pervades the entire Jiangdong political group...
The acquaintance between Zhou Yu and Lu Su originated from borrowing food.
Because the fish sauce was originally planned to be snatched.
On the surface, "asking for help" is just to give the other party a chance to learn something interesting, and also to give a decent reason for subsequent conflicts.
At that time, Zhou Yu asked to be the county magistrate of Juchao in order to provide cover for him to escape and defect to Sun Ce in Jiangdong. However, if he wanted to see Sun Ce, he couldn’t go empty-handed, so Zhou Yu took a detour and went to Dongcheng with him. Hundreds of people specially blocked the door of Lu Su's house, claiming that they had heard that Lu Su was famous and came to ask for food.
And Lu Su is not the kind of loyal and honest person shown in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but "rarely strong and fond of clever tricks." He knows that "the world is about to be in chaos, so he learns fencing, riding and archery, recruits young people, and provides In order to provide food and clothing, he traveled to and from the southern mountains to shoot and hunt, and the Yin Xiangbu restrained his troops, teaching martial arts and practicing soldiers."
When Zhou Yu came, Lu Su was actually not famous.
At that time, Zhou Yu came to visit with hundreds of people, and it was obvious that he was picking on the weak. Because "there are many light knights and cunning Yangshi, including Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo, and Xu Qian, each of whom has his own tribe." Bao is the most fruitful and talented, and is feared by others. 』
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Yu said, "How can you be bright when you are born in a good place?" Why didn't Zhou Yu lead hundreds of people to block the homes of famous light warrior leaders such as Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo, and Xu Qian?
To put it simply, if Zhou Yu had not approached Lu Su at that time, he might not have even had the money to travel with hundreds of people from Shouchun to Juchao!
Zhou Yu specifically targets small-scale light knight leaders like Lu Su. Essentially, he is looking for money, but he wants to find a good name. These money and grains are to be taken to Juchao, and then taken to Jiangdong to join Sun Ce as a bargaining chip for entry. Although Zhou Yu had a good relationship with Sun Ce, it did not affect the more people and materials he brought, the more rewards he would get. This was related to his status and power in Jiangdong.
Zhou Yu did this kind of thing more than once.
Later, when Sun Ce died, Zhou Yu went to the funeral with his troops and horses, and then stayed in Wu to share the responsibility of guarding the army with Zhang Zhao, the chief historian. However, this eventually laid the root of Sun Quan's suspicion of Zhou Yu...
Therefore, it can be said that the entire Jiangdong is filled with a strong atmosphere of speculation, from the Sun family as the leader to the ordinary gentry children.
Therefore, Lu Su was willing to agree to act as an angel. Didn't he know that he was being used by Xun Yu and others? But he also wanted to go to Guanzhong to have a look, so he walked not slowly. After bidding farewell to Pang Shanmin and Huang Zhong, he It’s time to arrive in Shang County.
Wenpin also followed Lu Su to Shang County.
Stationed in Shang County is Liao Hua.
This morning, the sky was just a little bright.
Lu Su had just woken up when he heard the steward from the inn calling outside the hospital, "Is the angel getting up?" The Lord is visiting my house! 』
Lu Su was startled when he heard this and quickly replied: "My clothes are disheveled and it is inconvenient to entertain guests. Please wait for a while." 』
Lu Su quickly arranged his hair and dressed up. The close guards who were with him also quickly brought water and asked Lu Su to wash up. After everything was almost done, Lu Su walked out of the yard to greet Liao Hua.
When Liao Hua met Lu Su, he waved for someone to give him the meeting gift.
The officiant was a wild duck.
The accompanying gifts are some ordinary food, dried fruits and the like, which are not considered expensive.
Liao Hua looked at Lu Su and apologized: "The angel came last night. Hua was busy with military affairs and couldn't escape. He treated the angel lightly." Please forgive me. This courtyard was also in disrepair, but fortunately it was still neat and tidy, barely worthy of being an angel. 』
After Lu Su heard this, his heart trembled slightly, and he quickly returned the salute with a smile, "General, you're welcome, you're welcome..."
Liao Hua waved his hand and said, "Hua is only a captain and cannot be called a general." 』
Although Liao Hua lowered his body, mouthing "angels" one by one, and his face was full of smiles, in Lu Su's eyes, there was an indescribable feeling...
Lu Su searched his memory and seemed to have heard nothing about Liao Hua's achievements. However, after meeting Liao Hua, he instinctively felt that this person would be difficult to deal with, just like when he met Zhou Yu.
Although he seems young, he is very calm and contradictory.
This is not to say that Lu Su would think that Liao Hua in front of him was comparable to Zhou Yu, but it was the Liao Hua in front of him that made Lu Su feel that Liao Hua was young, mature and calm.
Ordinary young people have a more or less irritable air. Even if they want to pretend to be calm, some subtle changes in the corners of their eyes and hands and feet will inevitably reveal the unique flexibility, impulsiveness and some eagerness of young people. The feeling of wanting to get things done without necessarily thinking about how to do it well.
Liao Hua did not.
Not at all.
Perhaps Lu Su had not seen enough young people, so he could only compare with the samples he had seen.
Liao Hua didn't know that in Lu Su's heart, he could already be compared with Zhou Yu when he was young, but Liao Hua also noticed the subtle changes in Lu Su's demeanor, "Did Angel not have a good rest last night?" 』
Lu Su quickly said: "The general is too humble. He has achieved a lot of merits now. He will be promoted to general soon. I just wish the general in advance." Su has lived in a remote place for a long time, and it is great to have such a place to rest. Thanks to the general for your concern, Su had a good rest last night. 』
I don't know why, Lu Su could still maintain a neither humble nor arrogant attitude in front of Pang Shanmin, and even showed some angelic demeanor. But now in front of Liao Hua, Lu Su felt like he was naturally shorter.
This is probably the change between host and guest, right?
Although Pang Shanmin and Huang Zhong were also called the main hussars, they were somewhat guest generals at that time, so they were generally regarded as peripheral personnel under the hussars. Therefore, Lu Su's tension may be due to the slight advantage brought by the angel's scepter. feel.
But after Lu Su arrived in Shang County, the situation became somewhat different.
More importantly, although the attitudes of Pang Shanmin and Huang Zhong were not good, they were not too important to Lu Su. Although Shang County was not a large area, it was an important entry channel. If you want to pass Wuguandao, you must obtain Liao Hua's consent. Therefore, Lu Su naturally does not have any sense of superiority and does not even dare to show the slightest angelic posture.
Moreover, although Pang Shanmin is said to be sharp-tongued, he still belongs to the outer circle of Hussar. As the guard of Wuguan, Liao Hua is naturally a core figure. If Liao Hua said something about Lu Su, It is likely to affect the entire process of delivering the edict. Naturally, Lu Su acted extraordinarily harmless to humans and animals.
When people get along with each other, the rise and fall of arrogance is relative, not absolute.
Therefore, when the two parties were greeting each other, Lu Su naturally bent down lower.
It was a pity that all the things Lu Su did, whether he "respectfully" addressed Liao Hua as a general or lowered his posture, had no effect.
Because Liao Hua came here very early in the morning. In addition to being considerate in terms of etiquette, he also came to tell Lu Su an "unfortunate" news——
A section of Wuguan Mountain Road collapsed and is now being repaired, so Lu Su needs to stay in Shang County for a while. Finally, Liao Hua added that if Lu Su needed anything in life, he could send someone to contact Liao Hua, but he left without even giving Lu Su a chance.
As for how long it will take to build the road...
Liao Hua said that it will definitely be repaired within thirty working days!
Lu Su had no choice but to send Liao Hua away from the inn.
After Lu Su turned around, he called Wen Pin, "General Wen, what Liao Guanzheng said must be an excuse!" It’s just for you and me to stay here! 』
Wenpin looked at Lu Su and nodded, "That's true." 』
The possibility of mountain road collapse is not impossible, but it is certainly not high.
After all, Pangshanmin Huang Zhong and others led their troops through. If this is true, wouldn't it be an opportunity for Cao Jun to fight back?
Seeing Wenpin's lack of money, Lu Su couldn't help but make it clear: "What should I do if I miss my trip while staying here?" I wonder if General Wen has any clever strategies to deal with this? 』
Wenpin smiled and shook his head, "I am just a martial artist, how can I come up with any clever ideas?" What's more, now they have put down their swords and guns and are not fighting on the battlefield. If someone wants to harm an angel, I will naturally fight bravely. As for others... please forgive me for my incompetence. 』
Of course Wenpin understood what Lu Su meant, but he pretended to be confused.
After all, Wenpin couldn't hold on any longer at that time, either surrender or die. Lu Su's coming just gave Wenpin a third choice, but it couldn't be regarded as a favor to survive. Therefore, Wenpin escorted Lu Su all the way and ensured Lu Su's personal safety, which was equivalent to returning the favor. As for other things, Wenpin did not want to participate and did not dare to participate.
Seeing Wenpin like this, Lu Su was helpless, and it was not worth falling out with Wenpin over such a thing, so he could only smile and give up.
Lu Sukuu sat for a long time and suddenly thought of a possibility!
Could it be that the Hussars are preparing to counterattack?
Thinking of this, Lu Su couldn't wait any longer.
Waiting in Shang County would not be life-threatening, but it was obviously not in line with Jiangdong's interests, so Lu Su thought about it and decided to use the chips he had planned to use after arriving in Guanzhong depending on the situation. …
As for whether I still have any chips after arriving in Guanzhong...
Then you have to pass this level first!
…
…
Of course, Lu Su's guess was not wrong. Of course, Liao Hua could not stop Lu Su based on his own ideas. Instead, he received clear instructions from Pang Tong to stop Lu Su at Wuguan before new orders came!
When he learned that Emperor Liu Xie had sent an angel to mediate, Pang Tong was unhappy and became angry!
When Cao Cao's army attacked Tongguan and invaded Hedong before, he pretended that he didn't hear or see it. Now that Cao Cao is about to die, he issued an edict to mediate?
Pang Tong was not very happy with the Emperor of Han Dynasty in the first place, but now he feels that the Emperor is really hateful!
Cao Jun has been fighting at Tongguan for so long. Now he finally got the chance to counterattack. Why should he stop and wait for the angel's order?
Are you kidding me?
Pang Tong asked Liao Hua to find an excuse to stop Lu Su, which was actually a good attitude. The group of angels who went to mediate the disputes between local princes in the early years did not end well, and some were even killed by some "bandits" on the way!
Pang Tong did not intend to kill Lu Su, nor did he want to snatch any scepters to humiliate the angels and the emperor, which was already considered to be mercy.
Pang Tong now came to Tongguan again.
Zhu Ling's guess about fodder was only half right.
Indeed, these days, after Zhang Liao arrived, the Linzhiyuan above Tongguan gradually increased a lot of cavalry and war horses, but at the same time, there were also some big guys that Zhu Ling did not expect...
Yaks.
"Where did these guys come from?" Ma Yue looked at the yaks in Tongguan, who gradually became a little anxious due to the congestion and said, "They are really big! I'm afraid all this hair is not delicious! '
Zhang Liao smiled, "It's not much different from ordinary beef. It's just that these cows are in high and cold places. If they don't have this hair, they will probably not survive. '
Zhu Ling said: "I heard that these cows can't be plowed or ridden. I don't know what to do with such cows in the snowy area? 』
The three of them were talking and laughing, in fact, they were also trying to relieve the tension and pressure in their hearts.
Even for a veteran like Zhang Liao, who was about to launch a counterattack against Cao's army, he didn't show anything on the surface, but he was still a little excited in his heart.
How many times in life can there be such a scene and such a scale?
Pang Tong stood aside, touching his chin. He felt really tired during this period of time. After this war, he had to have a good meal, no, he had to have several good meals!
Make up for the lost meat!
All the meat that was gained with great effort, why is it gone?
It's like the territory that was conquered with ability, why should we listen to the emperor's edict and stop?
If we really want to stop, we have to fight a battle first!
Soon, the soldiers came up to report that everything was ready.
Today Pang Tong not only had to recapture the lower city of Tongguan, but also launched an attack on the Cao army camp, and by the way, test whether he could destroy the Cao army's floating bridge on the river...
Anyway, there are a lot of things to do, so we can do it slowly.
As for the angels, he would naturally take his time.
It's not that we don't welcome the angels, but we have to wait until we are "ready" before welcoming them...
It makes sense.
As for the passage for this attack, we actually have to thank Cao Cao.
If Cao Cao hadn't sent a large number of people in the early stage and desperately dug a bloody road from the lower city of Tongguan, even Pang Tong's fire bull plan and fire horse plan would not be able to be used!
Originally, the passage between the upper and lower cities of Tongguan was narrow and steep, and even most of the goods had to be transported by crane, but now...
At least horses can run!
Since horses can run, cattle can also run...
With Pang Tong's order, the cavalry army began to counterattack the Cao army in Tongguan.
The long hair on the yaks is simply the best fuel.
These yaks were actually sent by the guy who came to Chang'an to learn from the scriptures and returned to the snow area...
Some yaks were left for breeding and cultivation, and the others were now sent to Tongguan by Pang Tong.
As the thunderous drums sounded, Cao's army was surprised to find that the first to rush out were not the hussars in helmets and armor, but long-haired monsters!
The Cao army had originally responded to the drums on Tongguan and was also encouraging morale before the battle. The shouts of killing came one after another, but soon they gradually stopped...
"Look! What is coming down?"
These monsters lowered their heads and ran down along the passage that Cao's army had finally dug out.
The "long-haired monsters" were not fast at first, after all, even if the passage down was dug, there was still a slope.
"What are these?"
Most of the Cao soldiers had never seen such animals.
It was a bit awkward for a while...
The Cao soldiers looked at each other, where were the hussars?
Could it be that these monsters were transformed from hussars?
"Archers! Get ready!" Liu Fu, who was supervising the battle on the front line, was more experienced after all. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately ordered, "Why are you all standing there? ! No matter what it is, it is the enemy! Enemy! '
Liu Fu's shout also woke up Cao Zhang, and he immediately ordered people to make noise and shoot at the "hairy monsters" rushing over!
The Cao army soldiers shouted one after another, and the voices were not small, but because of the effective command, the voices could not be combined, and naturally they could not scare the running cattle.
More importantly, the hussars hiding behind the cattle secretly ignited the hair on the cattle when the cattle came below!
The yaks were stung, howling, and instinctively ran forward, rushing straight into the Cao army's formation!
"Shoot! Shoot quickly! '
"Archers! All! Get ready..."
The flag was waved.
"Shoot...shoot..."
The archers on both sides of the Cao army's formation, following the command of the lower-level officers, began to tilt arrows towards the yak herd.
Dense arrows whistled into the air, and then headed down towards the running cattle!
It has to be said that Cao's archers are still qualified. They still have a good hit rate when shooting at moving cattle from a long distance, but unfortunately, the shooting effect of the arrows is not good.
On the one hand, the thick hair on these yaks is like a fluffy cotton armor. Unless the arrows are shot at a very good angle and hit some key parts, they will cause direct damage. In addition, yaks not only have a lot of hair, but also have thick skin. Even if they are shot and bleed, they will only run more crazily because of the pain!
With arrows on their bodies, they still run wildly!
And some of the yaks were on fire and smoking!
"Monsters!" The Cao army soldiers who didn't know what was going on screamed when they saw this scene: "It's bad! These monsters are immortal! Immortal! Unkillable! "
Humans are used to being afraid of unknown things first.
Fear deepens chaos, and chaos spreads easily.
But this is just an appetizer...
