Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 320 Chapter 319 Life in exchange for life, I’m worth it
Chen Wu's slogans were loud and loud, but they were useless.

There were about a hundred cavalry beside them. It would not be a big problem to trap Wen Chou and the others here until reinforcements arrived from the rear.

But in the darkness, charging up the mountain with cavalry, what is the difference between this and dying.

In fact, Chen Wu certainly didn't expect to be able to calm the situation with this drink. It was just that Jiang Qin died suddenly and the soldiers subconsciously began to retreat.

In addition, there were too few of them, so they really wanted to retreat.

The problem is, Yan Liangwen Chou is in front of him. Once he captures them, no matter how great the credit is, Shouchun and Anfeng, who are the most difficult to chew, will capture them in one fell swoop. This is a revolutionary victory for Jiangdong. No matter what, After all, we can't let them go like this.

Therefore, Chen Wu's bigger idea was to force the opponent's trump card to be revealed, whether it was hiding a small number of sharpshooters or a huge number of ambushes.

"Kill it!"

Chen Wu really got his wish. On the hill, three horses swooped down, followed by dozens of men holding torches, but dressed in different clothes, and even the weapons in their hands were different.

What the hell, a bandit?
Not many people showed up, but the sound of fighting on the mountain was so continuous that it sounded like there were thousands of people.

"You guys." After seeing clearly who was coming, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and both Yan Liang and Wen Chou looked surprised.

Both of them, who had already thought about dying, felt that they would have to confess here today, and the twists and turns of the life-saving arrow rekindled their extinguished hope.

To have such a sharpshooter, either Marquis Wen or Zilong must be the vanguard led by them who arrived here.

One is in Sizhou and the other is in Pengcheng. The idea of ​​divine soldiers descending from the sky is actually too fantasy and unrealistic, but at this juncture, apart from them, the two of them really can't think of anyone else.

Unexpectedly, it was Cao Xing, Song Xian and Cheng Lian who were released by Zhang Liao from Anfeng City.

Memories came flooding back.

Yao remembered that when Zhang Liao let the three of them go, he thought about asking Lu Bu to plead guilty. After all, these three could be considered guilty of collaborating with the enemy.

According to military law, Zhang Liao can be punished for such a serious crime as private release.

Later, it was the old scumbag who gave the idea. He said openly that he had been beheaded and explained it clearly to Lu Bu and Lin Mo in private. In this way, there was an explanation to the three armies and Lu Bu would not be in a dilemma.

The old scumbag is absolutely sure of this consideration. First of all, they have already been punished for collaborating with the enemy. Even if they go to other princes, usually no one dares to take them in.

Furthermore, Zhang Liao let them go privately, and if they appeared on the battlefield again, it would be a clear trap for Zhang Liao. I guess they wouldn't be so heartless and unjust.

Therefore, according to the old scumbag's guess, the best outcome for them is to disappear into the world and become an ordinary person.

After all, Zhang Liao's private release of death row criminals will not be exposed.

However, what Yan Liangwen Chou didn't expect was that they were actually here, falling into trouble.

But, what a coincidence, how come we just happened to arrive at their hill?

Yan Liang suddenly remembered why the person who sent the letter before clearly helped him but did not dare to reveal his identity. At first, he thought it was Jiang Dong's plan to exhaust the army.

Now he knew clearly that they were the ones who sent the message.

The grudges that happened back then were inextricably linked, and no one could tell for sure. They didn't dare to expose their identities because they were probably afraid of causing trouble to Zhang Liao.

"As long as we give the order to release arrows, you will become hedgehogs. We haven't done anything now. I just don't want to hurt them."

Cao Xing glanced at Yan Liang and Wen Chou on the ground, frowned and said, "Get out of here quickly and leave the rest to us."

Yan Liangwen Chou's mind was a little confused, and he didn't seem to have fully reacted, until Song Xian urged again: "Quickly retreat!"

The two quickly got on their horses, looked at them, and passed by the wrong horse.

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Chen Wu reluctantly raised his spear and prepared to take action.

Cao Xing and the other three hurriedly stood in front of them, while dozens of people behind them also raised various weapons in their hands.

After all, Chen Wu did not dare to give the order.

Cao Xing and the others were nothing. He didn't pay attention to these thirty or fifty bandits at all. What he was afraid of was that the bandits on the hill would actually shoot arrows.

Although, theoretically speaking, it is impossible for bandits to be fully armed, but since they dare to stand up arrogantly, it is enough to prove that the other party has the confidence.

They were sad that Jiang Qin died, but they did not dare to take the [-]th Jiangdong disciple to die.

After all, Jiangdong's blood has been shed too much on the other side of Jiangbei.

"Tell Marquis Wen that we three brothers did not disappoint him!" Cheng Lian, who had his back to Yan Liang and Wen Chou, roared.

"We'll wait for you in Changfeng City!" Wen Chou replied, speeding up and leaving.

The two of them were riding on the same horse, and the wind was howling. Yan Liang said with emotion: "I didn't expect that they were the ones who saved us in the end."

"When we go back this time, we must report this matter to the Marquis. No matter what they did in the past, we two brothers owe them." Wen Chou, who had always understood his status as a surrendered general, would never make arbitrary demands.

But this time, he was determined to plead for Lin Mo when he went back.

They not only saved this time, in fact, if they had not delivered the message before, the stronghold would have collapsed that night during the night attack.

This kindness must be repaid.

What's more, I believe Zhang Liao will also be willing to speak.

"Brothers have no intention of being enemies with the Marquis of Wu. We really owe them a favor. Let's repay it today. There is no need for the two generals to fight us to the death and lose their troops. Why don't we stop here and have both sides retreat?"
Oh, by the way, from now on, we will never get involved in the dispute between Wu Hou and Wen Hou. "

The two sides were still confronting each other. If Jiang Dong refused to retreat, they did not dare to leave. They were afraid that Yan Liang Wen Chou would catch up, so Cao Xing took the initiative to break the deadlock.

After saying that, I didn't forget to take a look at the hill. There are more of us than you.

"It's a joke, you killed Gong Yi, and you still want to wipe it out?" At this time, Ding Feng supported Po Tian as a dazed young man, but he was far from the general who turned the tide for Soochow to defeat Cao Wei in the Battle of Dongxing.

"If you want to destroy both the jade and the stone, there's nothing we can do about it. Just ask the brothers on the mountain if they agree." Cheng Lian sneered, looking indifferent.

"you"

When Ding Feng was about to get angry, Chen Wu grabbed him and said slowly: "But after all, you killed Gong Yi and just retreated. Isn't it justified?"

"What do you want?" Cao Xing asked.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just hope you can show some sincerity and give us an explanation for letting us go back. After all, you have heard about Wu Hou's temper. If we just go back in embarrassment, we won't survive." Chen Wu said It seems quite reasonable.

So, the two parties started bargaining under the hill.

Chen Wu meant that he hoped they could join his side. As for Sun Ce, it would be no problem if he was willing to guarantee with their heads.

Naturally, Cao Xing and the others were unwilling to do so. They wanted to get some gold, cloth or something as compensation, but they didn't have any war horses. There were only five horses in the entire village.

After talking for a long time, I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves behind me.

Cao Xing and the other three frowned, surprised to realize that there were people behind the other party, but didn't they have no cavalry?

There were not many people coming, and only three or four hundred more cavalry were added. But when the number came close, Chen Wu changed his face, "Do you really think Jiang Dongerlang's life is so cheap? If you want to save people from the tiger's mouth, you have to use your life to make up for it. I'll kill!"

After the front and rear armies joined together, they had [-] cavalry, and Chen Wu knew that they had only traveled more than ten miles, and the infantry would slowly follow. If we don't take back their heads today, how can we follow them? The brothers who died in the battle gave an account?
After realizing that Chen Wu was stalling for time all along, the three of them smiled in relief, exchanged glances, and rushed forward with dozens of people behind them.

The fighting power of Cao Xing, Cheng Lian and Song Xian was certainly not weak, but the bandits following them were simply vulnerable and had no fighting qualities. More than 20 people fell down in just one charge.

Moreover, the imaginary rain of arrows did not fall, and even the shouts disappeared.

Okay, these bastards, are you bluffing with me?
After realizing that he had been tricked, Ding Feng was stunned.

On the contrary, Cao Xing and the other three laughed bitterly, "Oh, I really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. I didn't look down on Zhang Yan before. It was only after I occupied the top of the mountain that I realized that this team is really not easy to lead.

We only have a small number of people. People on the mountain dare not come down and are only responsible for cheering. "

At this point, the three of them were helpless.

It's actually been a few years since they turned into bandits, but this team is really hard to win.

They didn't dare to pull him. Ever since Lin Mo became Lu Bu's son-in-law in Pengcheng, he had developed a habit. The first thing he had to do every time he arrived in a county was to eliminate all the bandits around him.

Zheng Bao and Zhang Duogeng from Chaohu must be more awesome, and they can't be kept submissive by Zang Ba and Sun Guan.

At first, they thought it was because they were too poor, so Lin Mo gathered all his money on the bandits. But later they discovered that this had nothing to do with being poor. Lin Mo only wanted long-term peace and stability, and gathered them as quickly as possible. It’s just the human heart.

Therefore, even if the three of them fell into trouble, they would not dare to expand their team too much, otherwise they would definitely attract Liu Ye's suppression. I heard that Lin Mo even issued a military order specifically for this, and used this as the prefect of each county. A standard for assessment.

After several years of hard work, we only managed to get a team of two to 300 people.

Not all of the two or three hundred people were willing to sacrifice their lives for them. Except for the thirty or so people following them, the others were timid and did not dare after hearing the news that they were going to have a head-on conflict with the regular army.

Okay, then just be a cheerleader, you can finally scare Jiang Dongjun.It seems that they still underestimated their determination.

It’s not a big problem. I rushed down the mountain today, but I was actually determined to die.

In the early years, he followed Lu Bu from Guanzhong to the Central Plains. He was saved by Lu Bu several times on the battlefield. Later, An Feng was confused about the incident, and Zhang Liao was also given a way to survive.

Some debts must be repaid eventually.

"In the end, the three of us will go on the road together." Song Xianse said with a smile.

"Forget it, just think of it as a few more years of good life. After all, you are worthy of Marquis Wen, worthy of Wen Yuan, and worthy of Uncle Zhi." Cheng Lian seemed to be open-minded.

"The three of us will die if we die, and there will be no loss to anyone. But Yan Liang, Wen Chou, is different. They cannot die. If they are all captured by Jiangdong here, the three counties of Huainan will really not be saved.

It would not be a loss if the lives of the three brothers were exchanged for the two of them. "

After Cao Xing finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Qin's body on the ground and said with a smile: "Anyway, I made a profit."

The sound of horseshoes sounded again.

This time, the two sides did not miss each other, and the Jiangdong cavalry surrounded them and beat them up.

The three of them had followed Lu Bu through life and death, and had been bandits for several years, but their bloodiness was still there, and they stood in a straight line and fought to the death.

No one would think that they could leave alive, they just wanted to delay it for a little longer.

Facing the spears like a forest of death, Ding Feng and Chen Wu were surrounded by double-teams. It didn't take long before the three of them fell off their horses one after another.

On the verge of death, Cao Xing pressed his hand hard on his chest. The blood holes on his body were already countless. He glanced at Cheng Lian and Song Xian, who were lifeless beside him, and laughed.

Perhaps, only before death can people truly see their own hearts clearly.

Cao Xing did not regret that he followed Lu Bu through those hard days but failed to catch up with the good ones today. But, for some things, if you go wrong, you will go wrong. If you make a mistake, there will be no way out.

Everything today made him feel clear in his heart. It seemed that he no longer owed anything to Lu Bu or Zhang Liao. On the contrary, he felt extremely relaxed.

Cao Xing used his last bit of strength and hissed to the bright moon in the sky: "Marquis Wen! Wen Yuan! Our debt has been paid in full!"

There was no need for Ding Feng and Chen Wu to take action. Cao Xing straightened up and showed no reaction.

There is absolutely no point in beating the corpses to vent their anger. At most, it just confirms that they are all dead.

Chen Wu cut off the heads of the three of them and prepared to take them back to Sun Ce to explain.

Before he could return to the place where he was ambushed, he met Sun Ce who was catching up.

"Lord." The two quickly dismounted and knelt down on one knee.

"Where are the people?" Sun Ce looked at the heads in their hands with an expression full of expectation.

But after learning what happened, he was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead.

Forget that Yan Liangwen Chou was not caught, he even took Jiang Qin in for a ride. What's the use of having the heads of these three people on his head?

"As the tiger returns to the mountain, are you still worthy of leading the army?"

Sun Ce didn't look good at all, and roared: "Drag me down, I will have a forty military staff, and I will be demoted to a centurion!"

"Here!"

They were attacked by Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and lost 3000 to [-] men. This was not their fault. Even the extremely tired cavalry were still cavalry after all.

But at the most critical moment, the two of them were frightened by a group of bandits, and Jiang Dongerlang's face was completely embarrassed by you.

No one dared to plead for mercy, even the calmest Zhou Yu felt that such a treatment was not excessive at all.

"My lord, I just received a letter from General Cheng. Liu Ye broke out at night and killed nearly two thousand enemies. However, due to the insufficient number of troops and lack of cavalry, Liu Ye was still able to escape.

However, General Cheng had already taken over Shouchun. "

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, Sun Ce just snorted coldly.

Their army has all evacuated, how could Shouchun hold on?

The problem is, Yan Liangwen was not dead. They withdrew all the nearly [-] troops at the cost of a few hundred horses.

Next, what he has to face is the revenge army of the North Country. He failed to kill Yan Liang and Wen Chou, which means that the morale of the opponent's army has not been greatly affected, and the situation will be very bad.

Whether Cao Cao's reinforcements can appear will most likely depend on how long he can hold off Lin Mo.

After all, it would take him several months to clean up the situation in Yizhou and then reorganize the army and return to the Central Plains.

"Who would have thought that Lu Su would dare to use troops like this, attacking our army with hundreds of tired cavalry troops, just to allow the army to safely evacuate this place." Han Dang said as if he was comforting, but also helpless.

The situation at this point is actually very different from what Zhuge Liang said in Jiaozhou.

They considered these issues at that time. What they thought was that if the Lu army could conquer the three counties of Huainan, not to mention severely damaging Lu Lin's vitality, there would eventually be a vacancy in the military strength.

To rashly mobilize the defense forces in the Central Plains region is to give Cao Cao a chance.

But now, Yan Liang Wen Chou did not stay, and the army also took away [-] people. Once they join Lin Mo's army, it will be even more difficult with the rest and reorganization of the army.

On the Pengcheng side, due to the departure of the scheming queen, the red-sleeved move has completely become a bright brand. It is purely about gathering some homeless women to work. There has been no improvement in the hidden line for a long time.

Although when Chuan'er grew up, Lu Lingqi became more capable, but because there have been fewer wars in the Central Plains over the years, the red-sleeved move can no longer absorb enough fresh blood at first. Lu Lingqi is also a clever woman who cannot make a meal without rice.

However, if you are willing, you can still temporarily draw some of the manpower. After all, the previous 20 people were divided into ten groups. Except for the sisters Zhang Yan fell in love with, the other nine groups were stationed in the major families in the North to take charge of surveillance tasks. .

It's just that Lin Mo is not sure yet where he can place these people. The war situation is constantly changing, and the aristocratic families in the North really need people to watch, so he doesn't plan to make any big moves for the time being.

In recent days, Zhao Yun's mood seems to have improved a lot. With the arrival of the garrisons from Xiaoguan, Peicheng and Guangling, he has been actively deploying manpower and reorganizing the team as before.

He didn't say it, but it was obvious that Lin Mo's shameless method of picking up girls had a miraculous effect. Women said they didn't want it, but they didn't think so.

Gan Ning and Yu Jin also arrived.

Both of them suffered losses at the hands of the Jiangdong Navy in the Yangtze River Basin. Of the 1-strong navy, only about 5000 of them were beaten and came back in embarrassment. As soon as they came in, they played a game of pleading guilty, kneeling on the ground and not daring to do so. look up.

"Although we are eager to defeat the enemy, a defeat is a defeat. If there is no punishment, how can hundreds of thousands of troops rally their morale?"

Lin Mo, who was sitting on the handsome chair, looked at the two of them helplessly.

Gan Ning, as the head coach, has the authority to do it, and it is right to go to the rescue. But you ended up like this in the first battle. If you don't give any punishment, how can you explain to others?

You have to understand that it is not easy for people sitting in this position.

"Please Lord Marquis, please punish me." The two of them were sincerely convinced.

"Gan Ning was defeated and was demoted to the rank of captain of the army in front of the army. In Jin, he was demoted to the captain of the Dian army. Each man received twenty army sticks."

After saying that, Lin Mo sighed, "Now that the war is about to begin, I can write down the military sticks first. I hope you two can redeem each other with meritorious service on the battlefield."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!" The two of them didn't dare to be dissatisfied at all.

In fact, such punishment is already obvious favoritism.

Lin Mo was very confused.

He also received a letter from Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Next, Lu Su, Yan Liang and Wen Chou must all be held accountable. This is the rule.

What he didn't expect was that the last three people to take action would be Cao Xing and the others.

He also lost his life for this.

I don’t know if I did something wrong back then.

Sometimes, Lin Mo would also wonder if he relied too much on the prophet and was biased in his arrangements for certain people.

I think my old father-in-law would feel uncomfortable knowing the news.

Lin Mo still couldn't sympathize with their love for each other, but the way they managed it was impressive.

All he could do was find Sun Ce to repay his debt.

Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Yu Jin, Gan Ning, Xu Sheng.
Well, Jiang Biao's Twelve Tigers will have to explain a few.
