New Story of Lv Bu - chapter 1256

The fourteenth year of the Han Jian’an, the eighth day of May, the beginning of Mao, Jingzhou, Nanjun, Yidao.

A golden light radiated from the eastern sky, the waning moon of Xiaofeng quickly dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a round of red sun finally burst out! Above the entire town of Yidao County, there are wisps of cooking smoke, and the aroma of the food is pungent. The soldiers of the two armies of Cao and Liu yawned and got up. Last night they were busy almost all night, making five days’ worth of food, which was very hard.

After all, I was preparing dry food for my future escape. Everyone had no complaints. As soon as they hit the pillow, they snored like thunder. Hearing the call of the sentry on duty at night, they dressed and shoes, washed up in a hurry, and ran to the stables to see their horses when they had no time to eat. Day and night, thousands of miles away, without a good foot strength is absolutely impossible. Fortunately, the war horse is eating soy.

Above the lobby of the county government, senior generals from Cao and Liu’s armies gathered together, having a hearty breakfast. Behind a table are two people. In front of them, there is a roast goose and a tripod of fish and sheep stew. In addition, there are a few new childhood vegetables, but there is no wine. Almost everyone is sullenly eating and drinking. After eating this good meal, God knows when the next meal will be?

“Xuande, it’s time for our army to be the vanguard today.” Cao Cao was holding the roast goose in both hands and was eating oily mouth, speaking vaguely. “Twenty miles south of Yidao, there is a small settlement called Danyang Gathering. There are about one hundred families. Last night, I sent a group of people to stand before Danyang Juda. Once we came, we searched some more. Grain and straw mule, second, find some guides so that we can get around Yunmeng Daze. After the Danyang gathering, we will see whose horse is fast!”

Having said this, Cao Cao put down the roast goose in his hand and sighed. Yesterday, he and Liu Xuande’s green plum boiled wine to discuss heroes. Xuande laughed and said: “When you and I have to get rid of the disaster, it will not be too late!” Liu Xuande is a person who knows current affairs, so why is he Cao Mengde? This time a long journey is impossible. As long as there is a slight chance of winning, will Cao Cao be willing to be a bereaved dog in panic? Thinking of this, Cao Cao sighed deeply in his heart. His grandma’s! If you lose or win, your **** bet on this one!

“Brother Meng De is cautious, and I admire him very much!” Liu Bei looked up and lowered his head to continue dealing with the roast goose. Guo Jia glanced at Zhang Fei, who was eating so much oil, and frowned. This long journey, although it was a helpless move, but why did it go so smoothly? It is said that Lu Zheng is an unborn genius, how can he be so careless? Could it be that the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, and Danyang gathers fraud?

In this way, everyone hurriedly finished this sumptuous breakfast with all thoughts, lighted up their soldiers and horses, and set off again.

Danyangju is a small village with only lixu perimeter and no fences. It is surrounded by some messy wooden sticks to make a fence. From a distance, the situation in the village is vivid. The reason why Cao Cao attaches so much importance to Danyang Ju is due to the geographical location of Danyang Ju. Twenty miles north from Danyang, it is Yidao. To the west of Yidao is Yishui, and Yishui slowly flows into the Yangtze River in the north of Yidao. To the east of Yidao, there is the vast Yangtze River. From Danyang to the south for more than ten miles, there are two big rivers: Wushui and Yushui.

In the middle of this vast plain, which is about thirty miles long from north to south and forty to fifty miles long from east to west, is Danyangju. Cao Mengde is a master of warfare, and he can see the importance of Danyang gathering at a glance. Within a hundred miles, the only place where you can hold on to the danger is the little Danyang gathering in front of you! If the Han army ambushes a man and horse in the Danyang Gathering, it is like a nail, nailed tightly between the two armies of Cao and Liu. Then, cavalry assaulted from the two wings, and the seven thousand cavalry of Cao and Liu’s two armies would immediately collapse.

Therefore, as early as last night, Cao Cao sent a troop of troops to Danyang Ju and contacted every other hour.

Twenty miles is not long for the light cavalry. Cao and Liu’s armies urged the horses, but it was only half an hour.

In the Danyang Gathering in front of him, no one was walking around, deadly silent. If it weren’t for the plumes of smoke rising from the sky above the settlement, everyone would think it was a dead city. Seeing the troops of Cao and Liu coming, a big banner with the word Cao rose slowly above the watchtower in the center of Danyang. Under the banner, two or three people dressed as Cao Jun were waving at the army desperately and shouting loudly.

“Call!” Cao Cao slowly stopped the horse and motioned to the brigade to stop marching temporarily. “Fengxiao, can the garrison in Danyang Juzhong respond?” Cao Cao turned his head and asked. “Master! The latest news comes from a quarter of an hour ago when they found a huge cellar in Danyang Juzhong, which was full of grain, at least a few hundred stones! Now, almost everyone is digging for grain.” Guo Jia replied with his hands. “Hey! There are so many?” Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn’t help being moved.

A few hundred stones of grain is enough for 17,000 troops to eat for a few days. “Fengxiao, what are they yelling?” Cao Cao asked with a beard and doubt on his face. Hearing this, Guo Jia hesitated. The lord had always been suspicious. He hesitated at this time. He must suspect that there is an ambush in Danyang. “Lord, they are yelling: ‘We found a few hundred stones of grain!’” Guo Jia listened, and after a while, he replied. “Pass the order, let Xia Houyuan lead the troops to enter Danyang Gathering to find out the situation! The army will follow!”

“No!” Guo Jialang replied. In an instant, the cavalry on his left and right used the golden drum flag to pass the order.

“Follow me!” Xia Houyuan held up the sword in his hand and rushed out first. In his opinion, Danyang Jushi is too small, and there is a clear view of what is and what is inside. Can there be an ambush in this little Danyang gathering? He didn’t believe it even if he was killed. Could it be that the Han army dug countless tunnels in Danyang Juzhong, and even the people and horses were hidden in the cave? Thinking of this, Xia Houyuan couldn’t help but smile secretly.

Cao Jun was only two or three miles away from Danyang, and the cavalry charged and arrived in no time. As soon as Xia Houyuan started to charge, the gate of Danyang Ju slowly opened. A very-looking person was holding a pig leg that had gnawed most of it in one hand, and appeared by the door with four or five soldiers. Seeing the posture, he was preparing to welcome General Miaocai. His grandma’s! Have you never seen a pork shoulder? Look at your bear look! . It seems that I have never eaten a full meal in my life. Xia Houyuan cursed secretly in his heart. He was ready to scold the grandson.

Cao Jun’s horseshoe bang bang, two thousand fine riding horses flying, seeing that they are only more than two hundred steps away from Danyang Gathering, suddenly, the sudden change! Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom boom boom! Only heard the sound of war drums, Danyang gathered to the north, outside the wooden fence, more than a thousand crossbowmen suddenly appeared on the flat ground. These people didn’t have time to shake off the dust on their bodies, and immediately pulled the machine in their hands.

Whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh! The bowstring rang into one piece, and behind the half-person-height wall, more than a hundred bed crossbows were fired for the first time. The three-foot-long iron crossbow arrow was as fast as a migratory locust, fast and dense, and came straight to Xiahouyuan’s two thousand fine riders. Caught off guard, Cao Jun Jingqi suffered a big loss immediately. The people turned their backs on their horses and landed one after another, as if they were laying dumplings. The wailing of people and the screams of war horses immediately rang. However, the horse was running very fast, the front one fell down, and the back one was still surging up.

Xia Houyuan, who rushed to the front, was the worst. When the Han army’s crossbow was launched, he was only fifty steps away from the open door of Danyangju, and at least ten crossbows were aimed at him. At the moment when the bowstring sounded, Xia Houyuan was shot into a sieve with his horse and man! There were dense arrows all over his body, and the flying feathers on the crossbow bolts were still trembling. A large amount of blood gurgled from his body, and in an instant, Xia Houyuan and his horse became a statue full of blood.

“Wonderful talent!” A mile away, Cao Cao let out a tragic scream, his eyes went dark, he spouted a large amount of blood from the sky, and fell behind! “Master!” Guo Jia rushed forward with his legs clamped on his horse’s belly, and he saved Cao Cao’s body. “Come here! Where did the doctor die!” Guo Jia yelled at the people who pinched Cao Cao tightly with his fingers.

The bowstrings of the Han army finally stopped. It seemed that only a few moments had passed, and it seemed that ten thousand years had passed. The vicissitudes of life, the white clouds and the dogs, everything disappeared. Two thousand Cao Jun rides finely, with a man and a horse, and quietly fell outside the Danyang Jumu Fence. The blood gurgled, and the blood of humans and horses ran everywhere, gradually converging into dark black creeks.

It’s too awful! The corpses were everywhere, and the blood flowed into rivers, which was shocking. Cao Jun’s cavalrymen who were too late to make any movements closed their eyes tightly. At this moment, everyone regretted a little. Is it right or wrong to follow the lord to come here? Two thousand fine horses, including horses and men, were slaughtered by the Han army in just a few dozen breaths. Can we afford to fight such a battle?

At this moment, Danyang gathered in the middle, on the high car, while the flag was slowly raised, it was a big word for Lu. Next to the general flag is a Chinese character military flag and a golden lion flag. “No! That’s the general flag of Zhengyi-rank Xianbei General Governor and Tianxiong General Lu Zheng, as well as his military flag!” Seeing this situation, Guo Jia couldn’t help but blurt out. He was in charge of Cao Jun’s intelligence agency. Although he couldn’t know Lu Zheng well, at least he knew everything about it.

Why is Lu Zheng here? Are we fooled? For a while, everyone was panicked. “Look! Danyang Juzhong, another military flag has risen! It turned out to be a white flag!” Guo Jia’s soldiers pointed at Danyang Ju and shouted loudly. Guo Jia looked up and saw a white flag with dripping ink and eight characters on it. “Lu Zheng is here, come if you have the courage!”
