Chapter 702: Spying on the military
When the news of Liu Bei's troops came, it was Cao Cao and Sun Ce who were frightened. Happy are Gan Ning and Wenpin.
Together with Guan Yu, they sat in Xuzhou, dormant for many years, and missed many major wars in the north. Seeing that the generals in the north were rewarded for their meritorious service one by one, and the fields, mansions, beautiful maids, and money were given by the lord Liu Bei repeatedly, saying that they were not red-eyed, how could it be?
Hearing that the battle of Yuzhou began, Gan Ning and Wen Ping joined forces to find Guan Yu and said: "General, the lord ordered the three armies to go out and take Yuzhou. How can you ignore me? Is Xuzhou unable to fight? Now I am willing to ask for war and take Yangzhou for the Lord! ”
Yuzhou has three people, and they don't want to worry about it. In this way, take advantage of this opportunity to take Yangzhou back. It just happened to wash away the hatred of losing Jiujiang.
Guan Yu was pressed by Liu Bei in Xuzhou for many years, and he was very unhappy in his heart before, thinking that Liu Bei had forgotten himself. also wrote to Liu Bei and vaguely expressed his complaints. Later, Liu Bei wrote him a long letter and told Guan Yu in a serious tone.
It means that among the ministers under his command, who can now be like him, who can be alone and entrusted with the military and political affairs of a state? Let him train troops in Xuzhou with peace of mind and help the people, and it will be of great use in the future.
After getting Liu Bei's letter, Guan Yu was completely relieved. He is proud, not afraid to compete with the generals, afraid of being abandoned and not used. Now it is guaranteed that it will have its own place in the future. And he did not fight any more. From then on, he completely calmed down, followed Liu Bei's instructions, and trained the sailors in Xuzhou to appease the people.
Now that Gan Ning, Wen Ping and the others can't sit still, and they want to come to ask for battle, Guan Yu smiled secretly in his heart. These two guys have the same mentality as they did at the beginning.
After thinking about it, Guan Yu said: "If I attack Jiangdong, Cheng Pu and Zhou Yu will return from Jiangxia." In this way, wouldn't it be in vain to help Cao Mengde? ”
Gan Ning and Wen Ping's heads turned, didn't they? Now the lord is fighting Yuzhou, and the most anxious is Cao Cao, who is now fighting on two fronts in Jingzhou and Yuzhou. If he stabs Yangzhou on his side, it's hard to say whether he can take advantage of it, Cao Cao will definitely have a big advantage. How can that work!
Gan Ning said unwillingly: "In this way, my army in Xuzhou will be watched on the wall again?" ”
Guan Yu stood up and laughed: "Since Xingba and Zhongye both want to fight, it doesn't hurt to move their muscles and bones." Today, I heard that Xiahou Yuantun Xiaopei confronted Yide. I will send troops to attack them and help Yide! ”
Gan Ning and Wen Ping were overjoyed and said: "The general is wise!" ”
So, Guan Yu asked Gan Ning and Wen Ping to lead 10,000 soldiers, go out of Pengcheng, and copy Xiahou Yuan's back road. But he is sitting in Xuzhou and monitoring the movements in Jiangdong.
Xiahou Yuan had suffered Guan Yu's losses before, so he left a heavy army in Xiao County, in order to deal with the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou. Gan Ning and Wen Ping led the troops to set off, and when they arrived in Pengcheng, they discussed: "Zhongye, there is Cao Jun in Xiao County, if I move, it will be detected, and then I will be vigilant." It is better to explore its movement and reality first, and then draw it. ”
Xiao County's defense is strong, and Wen Ping doesn't want to be on his side, and then he will have to face the Cao army, which is armed to the teeth and heavily defended. Such a battle is really boring. Now that he heard Gan Ning's words, his heart moved, and he said: "What Xingba said is deeply in line with my wishes." ”
So after a little discussion, they sent hundreds of people out to find out the information.
The people of the south eat river freshness. Some also like to eat it raw. This habit has also been passed on to the Wa Kingdom, and the sashimi of the Wa Kingdom in later generations is actually passed down by our ancestors. Historically, Chen Deng also died of illness because of eating raw fish tart.
There are troops stationed in Xiao County, and there is a river passing by. Every day, there is an endless stream of people who come to sell fish. Most of them were bought by the military.
On this day, at Xicheng Wharf, a new group of people came to sell fish, and someone asked when they met him. This group of people replied in the dialect of Peiguo, saying that they were from a certain place and a certain place, and they had come to make a living when they heard that this fish market was thriving.
Because these people also speak the native voice, everyone does not doubt him. Soon, everyone became familiar with it. The newcomer is enthusiastic, quick with hands and feet, and when he is free, he sees people busy, and he is willing to help. Soon, he became one with the previous fishmongers. It's a township party again, and he has a good personality, who doesn't love it?
Soon, it was time for the army in the city to buy fish. In the early morning of this day, the city gate was opened, and in the anticipation of everyone, a military officer was escorted by a soldier to the pier of Xicheng. Then start picking and picking.
Walking in front of the newcomer, the military officer stopped and said, "Why haven't I seen you and others before?" ”
Before the main owner could speak, someone next to him said: "I want to teach General Huang to know that this Wang Da and others are also our township party, and they heard that General Huang was here to give him a wide range of favors, so he came to make a living." ”
The Huang military official said with a smile on his face, "But I suspect that this group of people is a spy in Xuzhou......"
Hearing this, the king's heart sank, where did Naigong show his flaws? lowered his head, but there was a fierce light in his eyes, thinking about whether to jump up and slash this thief with a knife.
The person next to him hurriedly touched it and said in a low voice: "Lao Wang, quickly choose some good fish and honor this yellow chop skin." ”
When Wang Da heard this, he reacted violently, remembering some rumors he had heard a few days ago. So he hurriedly selected more than a dozen fat, big, and lively carp, strung them together, put them in the basket, and said with a smile on his face: "General Huang, the villain is in Peiguo, and he has been fishing for generations, and he has been to Xuzhou for a step." Both the left and right township parties can testify, and I hope that General Huang will learn from it. The villain has nothing else to do, only to catch fish. Here are a few live carp caught by the villain, and they will be dedicated to the general to replenish the body. The people next to him also pleaded for the king.
Huang Junguan flicked his sleeves and said, "What are you doing, and you still want to buy me?" ”
Wang scolded in his heart, this dog thief, don't bump into grandpa's hands then. The body was so bent that he couldn't bend anymore, and his smile squeezed his eyes into a slit: "Where did the general come from, the general collects fish here, and there are countless fishermen who live me, and the villain is grateful in his heart, and regards the general as a parent, so he volunteered to offer a few fish." I hope the general will laugh at it. ”
Huang Jun's official was coy and said: "Since it is your filial piety, then I can't live up to your kindness." Okay, then I'm disrespectful. Well, your fish are good, I'll take the rest, and I'll send them to the military camp in the city later. ”
Wang Da thanked him again.
Huang Junzhi walked around here casually, and Wang Da knew why this horseman came out to collect a fish and brought ten people to follow. It's not to protect him, it's not to show off his might. Rather, they came specifically to collect bribes. Look at the fish carried by these ten men to know how much benefit this man has gained.
After a while, everyone acted together, pushing carts, carrying buckets, escorting fish and shrimp, following behind Huang Junzhi, and heading towards the city.
