Chapter 264: Worried Xiahou Dun
Did the Huns learn to use spies?
Ning Rong and Guo Jia glanced at each other, and silently followed Xiahou Zhong into the city.
Kaifeng City is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, few wars broke out, and the largest war so far was the great battle when Han Gaozu was the king of Han, and Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, sent troops to attack Xianyang.
The Han Dynasty was established for 400 years, if it were not for the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, I am afraid that this city will still live in a quiet and warm embrace.
However, at this time......
Ning Rong walked on the street, looking at the passers-by in a hurry, everyone's faces were tense, and they looked worried, and there was no leisure of Zhencheng people at all.
However, the city that has experienced the war is very different from the city that has not been experienced, the loose appearance of the people of Gucheng, the unhurried pace of life, and the people of Kaifeng are completely incomparable.
The people of Kaifeng, who have been baptized by war, even if they are women, have a coolness that is not found elsewhere.
On both sides of the street, there are all kinds of shops, Ning Rong found that there are many cloth shops and ready-to-wear stores here, looking at the delicate and handsome Confucian clothes, but they are lighter than the wide and heavy Confucian clothes in the north.
Xiahou Zhong found that Ning Rong seemed to be more interested in clothes, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Ning wants to buy clothes?" ”
Ning Rong waved his hand and said casually: "Oh! No, just take a look! ”
Oh!
There was silence again, and from time to time there were bands of soldiers with spears in their hands.
Yamen general Wang Xiang walked in front to lead the way, leading everyone to constantly look at these soldiers patrolling the streets, and the soldiers also replied unceremoniously, and their surprised eyes continued to sweep Ning Rong and the others.
Until Xiahou Zhong's figure appeared in front of everyone, the soldiers patrolling the streets stopped in horror and hurriedly saluted him, Xiahou Zhong scolded them twice, and sent them away!
Ning Rong only knows Xiahou Zhong, but he doesn't have much friendship, Xiahou Zhong is Xiahou Yuan's right-hand man, and he is the leader of his personal guards, just like Cao Hong's side Cao An, Cao Rui, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao and others around him.
However, Xiahou Zhong was not surnamed Xiahou, but Chen Liu's defection to Xiahoudun before he raised troops, and later followed Xiahoudun to fight Dong Zhuo and destroy the Yellow Turban.
Later, he became Xiahou Zhong, the leader of Xiahoudun's personal guards.
Ning Rong knew that Xiahou was extremely strict in governing the army, iron-faced and selfless, with clear rewards and punishments, and because he did not own family property and often used his private property to subsidize the soldiers, his prestige among the soldiers was extremely high.
And Xiahou Zhong naturally rose to the top, and he also developed prestige among these soldiers.
"Mr. Ning, Mr. Guo, the general has instructed the last general to take the two of them directly to the county office."
"Hmm!" Guo Jia nodded and didn't say anything.
Ning Rong asked curiously, "What?" Isn't he discussing military affairs with Xi Zhicai? Now that's it? ”
Xiahou Zhong replied: "The last general doesn't know, when he just left the palace, the general was discussing things with the drama military division, and the general ordered the two gentlemen to go over directly!" ”
"Oh! I haven't seen Zhicai for a long time, I heard that he is sick, I don't know what is happening now? Ning Rong turned to look at Xiahou Zhong and kicked the small stones on the road at will.
"The drama division suffered from wind chills before, and the general invited Lang Zhong and cooked a few pairs of medicines, and now there is no big problem!"
Guo Jia suddenly remembered Xiahoudun, and asked Xiahouzhong, "Huh? I heard that your general was injured by Lu Bu? How is the body going now? ”
Xiahou Zhong was stunned!
"Huh?"
Ning Rong turned around and glanced at Guo Jia, blinked, and said, "Oh! General Xiahou is the lord of Kaifeng City, if he can't resist Lu Bu's troops, I'm afraid that his morale will be deeply hit! ”
Ning Rong turned a corner when he spoke, and pulled Xiahoudun's physical condition to the issue of soldiers' morale, although Guo Jia knew that Ning Rong was talking nonsense, but he couldn't say that he was wrong, after all, Xiahoudun, as the main general, was indeed the backbone of the soldiers.
Speaking of Xiahoudun's condition, Ning Rong obviously saw a trace of gloom flashing in Xiahouzhong's eyes.
"Don't hide it from the two gentlemen, the general has been in a bad temper lately!"
Xiahou Zhong glanced left and right, and then whispered, saying in a voice that only Ning Rong and Guo Jia could hear.
"For the sake of war?"
Ning Rong raised his eyebrows and guessed.
"Hmmm! The general didn't notice that he was plotted by Lu Bu for a while, and now there is no big problem, but the recent sneak attack of the Huns has made the general quite irritable, I don't know why, the Huns seem to know the general's layout of the troops on the Kaifeng line, and every time they can avoid the pursuit of the army, just like yesterday, the Huns attacked the population again, and finally robbed it and left. ”
Xiahou Zhong evaded the important and explained to Ning Rong and Guo Jia about the recent changes in the situation.
Ning Rong first glanced at Xiahou Zhong, nodded silently, and did not refute him.
What Lu Bu sneak attacked?
According to Ning Rong's own understanding of Lu Bu, this proud general, the most conceited is his martial arts, think about it...... Even if he doesn't have to sneak attack, Xiahoudun shouldn't be his opponent, right?
Regarding this point, presumably Xiahoudun himself also knows that after all, Cao Cao, who was killed by Lu Bu, was defeated and fled, and the two brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan had fought with him.
But...... The things of the Huns are really weird!
Without waiting for Ning Rong to ask again, Xiahou Zhong himself turned things over.
After all, what Ning Rong asked was not an important secret, and even if he didn't say it, after seeing Xi Zhicai, Xi Zhicai would tell himself truthfully, and even get more accurate information there.
After all......
The relationship between Ning Zhiyuan, Guo Fengxiao, and Xi Zhicai is known to anyone with a little common sense.
"The two gentlemen must also know that now the thief Lu Bu led an army of 100,000 thieves to invade Chenliu, and in the early stage, he took advantage of the general's unpreparedness to capture most of Chenliu County, but ...... Since half a month ago, the thief Lu Bu seems to have taken the wrong medicine, and he has uncharacteristically set up camp and stationed troops in Yu County, but the Huns have come out from time to time to invade the border between the two armies! ”
Alas!
Speaking of this, Xiahou Zhong's face was full of sadness.
"What? General Xiahou didn't send people to pursue? Ning Rong asked rhetorically.
"Alas! Who's to say it isn't! But ......"
Xiahou Zhong suddenly shuddered, looking frightened, as if he remembered something terrible.
