Chapter 971 Zhuge's Chief Conspiracy(1/2)
"Hey...how are you?"
The soldier helped the man on the horse and asked with concern.
The man looked very weak, covered in blood, especially his face, and was beyond recognition by the blood stains.
He tried hard to look up, opened his eyes slightly, and said weakly: "Hurry...Go to Xin...Xinu..."
"What's wrong with Xingu? Tell me clearly."
"Gao Shun... Gao Shun led his army...he...uh..." Before the man finished speaking, he tilted his head and fainted again.
The guard shouted on the city tower: "What happened?"
The soldier turned around and shouted, "This person seemed to be Xinwu, under General Wei Yan's command, and the war in the valley seemed to be a little surprised, but he fainted without explaining it clearly."
"Xinwu?" The guard general was shocked. Although he did not know much about the ambush because he did not have enough rank and did not know much about it, he also heard that his lord was going to fight an extremely important battle here. Therefore, when he heard the place name, the general immediately became anxious.
"Hurry, bring him into the city and send a military doctor to treat him."
The deputy general next to him said, "General, be careful, this person is unknown, or..."
"Hey, he only has one person. Even if he is a spy, what can he do? The lord has made a major deployment in Xinwu. Now it seems that something is happening. This is the time when you and I have made meritorious contributions. How can we be cautious and miss the big thing? Hurry up, bring people in."
Several Cao soldiers outside the city immediately led the horse into the city, and then the city gate slowly closed.
Before the military doctor arrived, the guard quickly ran down the city tower.
"General, he has fainted and is afraid that he will not wake up for a moment."
The guard patted the fainted soldier. Seeing that he did not respond, he hurriedly shouted: "Hurry, where is the military doctor? Come here immediately, hurry up, help him into the house to rest."
He commanded two soldiers and helped the man off the horse's back. One of the soldiers shouted: "Ha, this guy is quite heavy, I can't tell, he's a big guy."
"I guess it was General Wei Yan's close friend?"
After the two helped him down, they found that although the man was fainting and his head was tilted to the side, even so, he was still half a head taller than both of them and had a very burly figure. He couldn't help but feel a little envious.
The deputy general of the guard suddenly pointed to the horse's back: "How come there are these two huge cloth bags on this horse's back? Take them down and see what's inside."
"As for the order." The two soldiers walked forward and reached out to get two cloth bags.
But as soon as the two of them started to use, they untied the ropes that hung the two cloth bags on both sides of the horse's back. The cloth bag was not lifted up, but sank suddenly.
"Dong..."
The cloth bag hit the ground hard, making two dull sounds.
"What a heavy thing." The soldier said in surprise.
The deputy general suddenly felt suspicious: "What's the matter? Let me see."
He went forward in person, bent down, and directly cut the cloth bag with a knife. Then, two round things appeared in front of everyone.
"This...this is..." The deputy general widened his eyes.
The guard came up and looked carefully: "Isn't this a pair of sledgehammers? There are spikes on it, which is so strange."
He reached out to hold the handle of the hammer and lifted it hard: "Wow, what a heavy sledgehammer, who can use it?"
The deputy general looked at the pair of sledgehammers and thoughtful, but his face soon became extremely frightened.
"This is... this is Zhu Ye's Hunyuan Pili Hammer!"
"What?" The guard general was shocked and was so scared that he threw the sledgehammer out, as if it was not a sledgehammer in his hand, but a piece of red iron.
"How could the enemy general's weapons be here?"
Everyone was shocked and suddenly heard a voice coming from behind.
"Of course I brought it myself."
"Who?" The guard jumped up in shock and looked around. He saw the fainting soldier who had just been helped down. At this moment, he was standing in front of them.
"You...you...who are you?"
The man did not answer, but just sneered, took a step forward, and walked towards him.
"You...who are you?" The guard general was timid and unconsciously retreated.
The man still didn't answer him a word, but walked to the side of his war horse, bent down, stretched out his hands, and then copied two sledgehammers into his hands.
“Huhu…”
He played the double hammers in the air and then said with satisfaction: "Well, it's not broken."
Looking at the heavy double hammers, it seemed that there was no weight in his hands. How could the guard still not recognize him?
"You...you are Zhu...zhu...zhuzhuzhu..."
"Bah, you are a pig. I can't change my name or not, Zhu Ye, Zhu Dehui, hehe, didn't expect it?"
Hearing that he admitted his identity, the guard turned his eyes and almost fainted on the spot.
"General... General Don't panic. Even if Zhu Ye is brave, he only has one person. Our army has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Are you still afraid that he will not succeed? As long as everyone rushed forward and captured him, it would be a great achievement. The general was awarded a title to the marquis and give him a title, which was no problem."
The deputy general seemed calmer than the guard.
After he said this, the guard also reacted: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, hurry up, everyone can take Zhu Ye together, whoever can take Zhu Ye, whether it is captured alive or beheaded, can get a bounty of 1,000."
Hearing the reward of the daughter, many of the Cao army soldiers around him who had just been scared were red and screaming at Zhu Ye.
Zhu Ye raised his eyebrows and glanced around: "Hey, who said I'm the same person?"
"What do you mean?" The guard felt something was wrong in his heart.
However, before Zhu Ye could answer him, the sound of killing outside the city suddenly shook the sky.
"Kill..."
"Run into the city..."
On the city tower, a Cao army soldier stumbled and ran down: "General, it's not good... Tens of thousands of enemy troops came to kill him outside the city..."
"What? This..." The guard was extremely panicked.
Zhu Ye smiled contemptuously, and then his huge body suddenly turned into a black shadow and quickly jumped out.
"Bang...bang..."
In the blink of an eye, several Cao army soldiers were shattered by him, and he was rushing towards the Cao army guard at an extremely fast speed.
The guard was shocked: "Stop him... stop him..."
"If you want to block me, just a few of your rotten garlic?" Zhu Ye scoffed at the enemy in front of him, and flew up and down with his two hammers, hammering a enemy in front of him.
In a wilderness in Runan County, four people and four horsemen were galloping at a speed.
After running for a long time, I probably felt a little tired. The four of them stopped, got off their horses, and came to the bottom of the big tree beside them, and took a rest.
"Kong Ming, is your plan really feasible?" Liu Zheng raised his head, took a few sips of water, and asked with some concern.
Zhuge Liang looked at him with a small face and said slowly: "Don't worry, brother. If this plan doesn't work, brother can take my head and pay the third general."
"Hey, this is not possible. Your head is so smart that I will have to serve the country well in the future. I dare not accept it." Liu Zheng waved his hands repeatedly.
"But... how can you conclude that Shenyang City has not been lost yet? Even though the military newspaper mentioned in yesterday's news that Xiahou Yuan was still siegeing the city and had not succeeded yet, today is the third day of siege, I'm afraid it's..."
"Yes, brother is right, let's not be idle."
A man was filled with water bags from the stream not far away. While walking back, he interrupted. This man was more than seven feet tall and looked only fourteen or fifteen years old. He had a pair of phoenix eyes and a slightly red face. He was Guan Yu's eldest son, Guan Ping.
"Second brother, don't be careful. Don't let my brother die in vain. It's okay for my brothers to get involved. If you implicate the elder brother, tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk t
Another person came over. When this person was talking, he unconsciously reached out to rub his butt. He seemed to recall something in his mind, and a painful expression appeared on his face. This person was Cheng Liang's eldest son, Cheng Yang. He was born on the same day of the same year, month and day as Guan Ping, but was only a few hours late.
The two of them, plus Zhang Yong's eldest son Zhang Cheng and Zhu Ye's eldest son Zhu Zheng, have been called brothers since childhood. However, Guan Ping was originally the second, but now there is one more Zhuge Liang in the middle, and Zhuge Liang has the longest grade, so their "brother ranking" naturally has to move one backward.
Zhuge Liang covered his head with a feather fan and looked at the sky: "Not only did I know that Xiahou Yuan did not succeed at this moment, but I also knew that even in one day or even two days, he would not succeed."
"Oh?" The three of them were in high spirits and all sat next to him: "Why?"
"Haha, the mystery is naturally in this celestial phenomenon." Zhuge Liang pointed to the sky.
"Sky phenomena?" Liu Zheng seemed to have some understanding, and Guan Ping was also in deep thought.
Cheng Yang tilted his head, stared at the sky for a long time, and muttered, "What's so good about this celestial phenomenon? What else can you see except for the big sun that makes people feel uncomfortable?"
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "I'll talk about this later. Let me talk first, why did Xiahou Yuan definitely not conquered Shenyang today."
Seeing him, Liu Zheng and the other two sat upright.
Zhuge Liang said: "As I expected, Cao Cao's invasion this time was not the purpose of Shenyang City. Or, it was not just Shenyang City."
Liu Zheng thought for a moment and said, "What do you mean is he has other plans?"
"Brother is really smart, and you can understand it at a glance." Zhuge Liang praised and then continued.
"Now, the imperial court has deployed General Cheng, General Zhang, General Gao, and General Xu in Yuzhou, with a total of more than 400,000 troops, both of which are above the Cao army, whether it is large or elite. If we wait for our army to prepare well and launch an offensive, how could the Cao army be invincible? Therefore, he won over Sun Jian's Jiangdong troops to help, and the two sides joined forces to raid our army. The intention was to weaken our army's strength and even annihilate the main force of our army. It would be best to kill one or two of our five commanders. As for Shenyang City, it was just a handful of taking it."
Liu Zheng slapped his thigh: "Yes, why didn't I expect it? He deliberately attacked Shenyang City on the grounds of shortage of food and grass, which was called opening up the grain channel with Jingzhou. In fact, there are two purposes: one is to annihilate the soldiers and horses in the city, and even capture the third uncle. The other is to use this to attract the fourth uncle, and General Gao and others to go to the rescue, and the thief Cao set up an ambush on the way."
"Haha, I only have a head start, and I can infer the key points. I am worthy of being the eldest son valued by His Majesty."
Zhuge Liang looked relieved.
