Chapter 512: Change of Hands
"Humph! I've already informed Lord Juncheng, so I'm sorry brother, you can wait under the city for a while! Zuo Tang, who was not a good-tempered person, saw the impatient appearance of the guard, and his face was gloomy, and he replied in a stiff tone.
"What kind of attitude do you have, could it be that the enemy has not done much, and wants to delay the county to rescue my lord!" If the guard under the city was really a high-ranking man, he would naturally not speak like this, but it was a pity that this person was a personal guard sent by Sun Ce, and he knew that he needed to blow up the soldiers and horses in the city and go to the designated place to rescue, only in this way could he get the opportunity to conquer the city.
"You..." Zuo Tang's face was gloomy and terrifying, as if he was about to speak again, when he saw Wang Zhongren running over at the corner of the stairs of the city wall in the distance, standing breathlessly, reaching out and pointing at Zuo Tang with a hand, he couldn't help but tremble.
"What's wrong with you, sir?" Zuo Tang looked at the other party with an unknown look, as if he didn't seem to be doing anything wrong, and his mind was full of question marks.
As the minutes and seconds passed, Wang Zhongren finally returned to his former appearance, and exhaled a long breath, "Zuo Tang, why don't you let the envoy enter the city, so that the official can entertain him well!" ”
"My lord..."Zuo Tang was about to speak, but was interrupted again by Wang Zhongren, "Don't say it, let's let someone ask in person!" As he spoke, he cautiously came to the edge of the city wall, leaned half of his body out of the wall, stared at the guards below the city with a pair of big eyes, and saw that the clothes on the other party's body were the clothes of the lord Jizhou army, and the stone that was raised high in his heart involuntarily sank downward.
"Hahaha! I don't know what this little brother is called, and what does the old man need to do when he comes here? After Wang Zhongren confirmed the identity of the other party, the smile on his face became even brighter, and he almost made a good offer to this person.
"Humph! A certain family called Duan Chun, this time he was ordered to come to Changshan to seek the help of the county guard, but unfortunately the county guard was still in the lord's place and could not come back for a while, only to find you, Mr., I hope to be able to send soldiers and horses to help my lord Gao Gan who is in siege! There was a sincere look in the guard's eyes, and he said slowly in a voice that was neither humble nor arrogant.
"I don't know the geometry of the enemy's soldiers and horses, why General Gao Gan will be easily trapped by the enemy, you must know that it is 100,000 soldiers and horses!" Although Wang Zhongren already has eyebrows in his heart, in order to better know the enemy's intelligence, he can know himself and the enemy and win all battles.
The guards frowned slightly unconsciously, and then a helpless look appeared on their faces, "It's a little ridiculous to say, my lord would lead his soldiers and horses to smash into the encirclement of the enemy hiding in the woods without checking the surrounding environment because of the blind march of General Chun Yuqiong. Even if we have 100,000 troops in the air, under the condescending bombardment of the enemy's 50,000 troops, it is like catching a turtle in an urn, and we can only resist with difficulty! ”
Wang Zhongren finally knew why General Gao Gan was ambushed by the enemy, and the 100,000-strong army could not break through, it turned out that everything was a slight difference in the enemy's position and numbers.
The guards in the distance borrowed the light source of the faint torches on the city wall, watched the puzzled look on Wang Zhongren's face disappear, and the big stone raised high in his heart could finally be put down safely, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he disappeared in the next second, as if he was afraid of being discovered.
"Since General Gao Gan's life is in danger now, a certain family will send soldiers and horses to the rescue!" Wang Zhongren knew the weight of Gao Gan in Yuan Shao's heart, if he delayed the other party's life because of his own affairs, I am afraid it would not be as simple as dying to compensate the other party, thinking of the seriousness of the matter, he didn't think about directly preparing to send Zuo Tang to lead four thousand soldiers and horses to rescue this person.
"Wang Zhongren, are you crazy, we are waiting for the county to guard only more than 5,000 people, and we sent 4,000 soldiers and horses at once, if the enemy comes to attack at this time, what should I do?" Zuo Tang always felt that it was weird, but he just couldn't say it, but when he learned that he needed to lead four thousand soldiers and horses to the rescue, he showed a look of shock on his face and hurriedly shouted at the other party.
"Humph! The enemy occupies a favorable position, and if no one attacks outside, it is obviously impossible to save the high-ranking general, and if there is less, there is no effect at all! Wang Zhongren didn't care about Zuo Tang's attitude at all, after all, it was now that he had what he asked for the other party, not what the other party asked for himself, so why not lower his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, as long as he could save his life, everything was worth it.
Zuo Tang looked at Wang Zhongren, who was determined to send troops to rescue Gao Gan, and could only sigh helplessly, and then said loudly to the soldiers beside him: "Wait for the hurry to unite the brothers in the city, and go to General Gao Gan with a certain family to rescue the other party!" ”
When the soldiers and others heard this, they showed a solemn look on their faces, and there was no longer the slightest sleepiness in their eyes, and they carefully checked the equipment on their bodies, waiting for the coming of the big war.
Time passed minute by minute, I don't know how long it took, the suspension bridge in the distance suddenly fell and brought up a large cloud of dust, and the heavy city gate was opened from the inside, and then I saw a military general rush out first, followed by soldiers with shields and long knives rushing towards the side of the guards.
The guards looked at the soldiers who were getting closer and closer, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "This general, who will go to the battlefield quickly, if it is delayed, I am afraid it will be too late!" As he spoke, he rode his horse towards the official road in the distance.
Zuo Tang looked at the back in the distance, and the brow on his forehead deepened a little again, as if something bad was about to happen, but he could only lead the soldiers and horses under his command to go, after all, there was a county prince Zhongren who seemed to be a deep resentful woman behind him, and he couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this person.
In the middle of the trees in the distance, Sun Ce looked at Zuo Tang and the others who were getting farther and farther away, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, like a big brother next door, giving people a kind of warmth like bathing in the spring breeze, "Old General Huang, send a soldier and horse to monitor the personnel, if there is any trouble, report it as soon as possible!" ”
Huang Gai nodded when he heard this, whispered a few words to the guards beside him, and saw that this person rode a horse and led a team of soldiers and horses to quickly rush towards the direction where Zuo Tang disappeared, and disappeared from everyone's sight in a short time.
Time passed minute by minute, Sun Ce kept tapping the ground with his left hand, as if waiting for something, I don't know how long it took for his closed eyes to slowly open a ray of essence light and disappear, like two peerless swords across the silent universe, giving people a feeling that they dare not look directly at it.
"Let's go!" As he spoke, Sun Ce jumped on his war horse, sat on the war horse with Gao Gan in his heavy palm, and rushed towards the Yuanshi county town in the distance.
Wang Zhongren looked at Zuo Tang and the others who had disappeared, and for some reason his heart became anxious, as if something bad was about to happen.
"Da! Da! Da! At this moment, there was a crisp sound of horses' hooves in the distance, as if something was rushing towards the city, unknown things always made people feel frightened, Wang Zhongren's face turned a little pale, drops of cold sweat dripped down his cheeks quickly, and the gorgeous clothes on his body were even more wet, like a chicken that had just been salvaged.
As the minutes passed, the soldiers and horses advancing in the darkness finally appeared in everyone's sight, only to see soldiers covered with scarlet colors, led by the same embarrassed generals to the front of the city.
"Don't play any tricks, boy, or Lao Tzu will let you die a miserable death!" Sun Ce looked at a pair of small eyes beside him, the corners of his mouth did not move, the cold voice sounded in the other party's ears, and his waist was against a dagger with cold light, if the other party had the slightest movement, he would inevitably be hit by a thunderbolt.
The moment Gao Gan, who was originally a little active in his heart, felt the cold feeling in his waist, his tense body stiffened again, revealing a smile that was more ugly than crying, "Little don't dare!" His faithfulness was expressed in the voices of only two people who could hear him.
"Who is in the city, and why is it here?" Wang Zhongren carefully hid his body behind the battlements of the city wall, and couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle when he looked at the dense soldiers and horses in the distance.
"Bastard! Who are you, don't you even remember what Lao Tzu looks like? Although Gao Gan didn't dare to show an arrogant look towards Sun Ce and the others, he didn't have so many scruples about the soldiers and horses under his uncle Yuan Shao, and immediately vented all the shame he had just received on the other party.
Wang Zhongren unconsciously felt a little familiar when he heard Gao Gan's voice, as if he had heard it somewhere, and he couldn't remember it for a while, and involuntarily stood up and looked at the person who had just spoken, and his eyes revealed an embarrassed aura all over his body, and his face was unkempt with pitch-black mud, and it was difficult to see his true face for a while.
"What do you see, Lao Tzu is a high-level cadre, and he doesn't open the door quickly!" Gao Gan saw the other party leaning over to look at him, and suddenly his face sank, staring at the other party with big eyes, and the cold voice exploded in the sky for a long time.
"What?" Rao is Wang Zhongren has thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him turned out to be the dignified high-ranking cadre at the beginning, didn't it mean that this person was besieged, but when he saw the dense black and oppressive soldiers behind the other party, he couldn't help but gasp, and he actually believed in this person's words in his heart, "What are you doing in a daze, quickly open the city gate and greet General Gao Gan with me!" He scolded the soldiers beside him.
"Squeak!" The closed city gate opened again, Wang Zhongren took the lead and rushed towards Gao Gan's side, Sun Ce saw the open city gate in the distance, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became even stronger, as if everything was under his control... to be continued
