Chapter 14: Killing the Generals (3)
Yao Yuan is just over 30 years old, and it is actually not bad to be able to lead such an army. But in that era when everything was important, his background was destined for his extremely limited development. What can a general do? What's more, his ability is only average, and he usually trains with his soldiers, and occasionally suppresses horse bandits.
Now his task is to quickly rush to Gaochang with the army. In fact, this army is also Yang Taishou from Liang Zhijun, except for more than 100 personal soldiers, it was not under his control, but Yang Taishou thought that Gaochang was too important, once it fell into the hands of the enemy, things would be very troublesome, he must hurry back and sit in Gaochang, Yao Yuan only needs to bring the army to Gaochang safely before sunset, and it will be regarded as a meritorious service.
Yao Yuan accepted this task, and along the way, he constantly encouraged the morale of this ragtag army, and arranged the rest reasonably, and also beat a few soldiers who didn't want to walk, so when the sun was already hanging in the sky, the city of Gaochang City had already faintly appeared.
"Brethren! Gaochang is coming! With more strength, I entered the city, and Lao Tzu invited you to eat and drink, ah! Hahahaha! ”
Yao Yuan said happily, and the soldiers agreed with a bang, and suddenly their pace sped up a lot. Yao Yuan smiled reservedly, very satisfied with his performance.
"General! You look ahead, who is that? The pro-soldier Miao Gang said loudly, this Miao Gang and Yao Yuan are fellow villagers, they react quickly, and they are usually well-behaved and will come to things, and they are very trusted by Yao Yuan.
"Archer prepare!" Yao Yuan also saw the three horsemen rushing over, and he was afraid that there was fraud, so he was busy.
"Who's ahead! Dismount! Yao Yuan's personal soldiers shouted together, and at this time they could barely see clearly, the three people were obviously two martial arts and one literati, the two in the back were soldiers, and the one in front was a literati.
"Oh, that's Meng Fan!" Miao Gang exclaimed, he and this Meng Fan are old acquaintances! Although Meng Fan is not favored, but after all, Yang Han's status is higher, Meng Fan is also a dog, in front of Miao Gang's pro-soldiers, he coaxed them, and he didn't take them in his eyes at all, Miao Gang was originally a fiery temper, but his status was there, and he had to swallow his anger, and now he saw that Meng Fan was bloody and embarrassed, and he gloated in his heart.
As if to echo, Meng Fan "pounced", planted off the horse, and rolled on the ground a few times, pulling out a blood stain on the yellow sand.
"Stop!" Yao Yuan also saw the clue, this person was the person next to Lord Yang Han, and he ran out at this time, could there be something wrong? To be cautious, he still asked the people around him to stop, so as not to step on it.
Duan Ye and Duan Ping also got off the horse and helped Meng Fan up, but Meng Fan struggled to run towards Yao Yuan with the support of the two, crying as he ran: "General Yao! General Yao! Taishou-sama died so miserably! You're going to avenge him! ”
Duan Ye couldn't help but secretly admire, this cry is not a little empty, tears come when they are said, two tear stains washed away the sand on his face, it looks very ridiculous, but that sad and sad look is really more real than the dead parents.
"What? Taishou-sama him? Yao Yuan was taken aback, the reason for the defense of Gaochang, Yang Taishou roughly said, saying that someone in the west might want to rebel, but after all, Yao Yuan was not Yang Han's henchman, and Yang Han didn't explain much, but he didn't expect Yang Han to rush to Gaochang in the starry night, and when he arrived at his own territory, he actually died like this!
Grabbing Meng Fan's clothes, Yao Yuan roared in shock and anger: "Say it quickly!" What's going on with Lord Yang? He's Gao Chang Taishou! How could something happen in Gaochang? ”
"General! It's the other way around! Someone reversed! When the Lord Taishou entered the city, the rebels came from the government towards the east gate, and the Lord Taishou was caught off guard and was killed by them on the spot. Meng Fan said while crying, the tears did not stop, and the blood stains that were still faintly oozing from his shoulders were even more convincing.
"Yang Taishou is actually dead?" Yao Yuan was a little incredulous, he had never expected this, in fact, these major events were too difficult for him, he was used to the specific and precise assignments above, and then he did things according to the rules, and he could always do it properly every time, so he slowly moved from a soldier with no background to a general.
"General!" Meng Fan saw that Yao Yuan's expression did not belong, wiped his tears, and a fierce color flashed on his face, "General, you have an army of 10,000 and are well-equipped, now Gaochang City is in chaos, and the rebels are busy snatching the children of the golden silk, although their number of villains is in a hurry, they don't know if they are in a hurry, but it can't be too much, it's nothing more than relying on Yang Taishou's absence, and taking Gaochang with a sneak attack with a small force, otherwise if it is a large group of people, Gaochang City must have been prepared, how can the siege be taken in one day?" It's better for adults to quickly order troops, and before it gets dark, when the chaotic soldiers are unprepared, they will attack Gaochang by surprise, and they will definitely be able to go down with one drum! At that time, Gaochang will have no owner, and he will serve as a general, and the general will be able to achieve great things! ”
After Meng Fan finished speaking, Yao Yuan's mouth opened wide, obviously a little moved. Even Duan Ye admired it very much, but he didn't expect that this little clerk still had such a tongue, and it seemed that he had underestimated him before.
"Mr. Meng." Miao Gang said in a weird way: "You shouldn't be a spy, right?" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Meng Fan said angrily, "Although Meng is a scholar, he is also loyal to Yang Taishou!" risked death to escape from Gaochang City to report to the general, how can you be so bloody? ”
"Bloody mouth?" Miao Gang sighed, "Your words are full of loopholes, although we don't read as much as you, but we also know how to do things, who can you deceive?" ”
Yao Yuan had always trusted Miao Gang very much, and when he heard him say this, he looked at Yao Yuan's gaze and was faintly suspicious.
Duan Yesin said badly, now it depends on Meng Fan's ability, a little careless response, he can explain here.
Meng Fan didn't panic at all, but struggled with his injured body, jumped and scolded: "Miao Gang! Are you afraid that you have made a contribution to the general, and Meng someone will be favored and rob you of your job? Bah! Meng is loyal to Yang Taishou, and he can show it every day! A bloody word, but what you said was full of loopholes? Tell me, which of Meng's words was ignored? ”
"Meng Fan! If there are not many rebels, and you get out of the way with an arrow, it's possible! But why didn't they pursue you? Aren't you afraid that you will come to tell you? And who are these two people? "Miao Gang has been fighting in the army all the year round, and his eyes are also very poisonous, and he can see that although Duan Ye Duan Ping is dressed as a small soldier, his face is very raw, and he has never appeared by Yang Han's side.
