Chapter 1392 Identity


    In the darkness, dozens of fast horses had already left Yecheng, divided into several roads, and rushed in all directions.


    Although many people are still full of complaints behind their backs, thinking that after the battle in Jizhou and Youzhou, they should rest for a while and make some repairs. Even if they don’t need people, they still need to let the horses grow some fat, but the military order has been issued. It was never the turn of these soldiers to express their opinions, so they could only resign themselves to their fate. Even though they had to travel at night, Yuan Shao''s order to urge the troops to assemble had to be passed on to the surrounding area again.


    Complaints are complaints. Military orders are not a joke. If you delay, regardless of whether you have any military exploits before, you will not be able to keep your head if you just practice military law, let alone discuss something about atonement.


    People with a certain status can only have a second, or even Nth, chance after making a mistake, but ordinary people, once they make a mistake, they lose everything, so these messengers can''t straighten up even if they are tired. He still gritted his teeth and insisted on passing on the order to gather the army.


    Near Zhongmu, a huge camp has been standing for a long time. Soldiers gathered from all over the place are on standby here. If you look down from the sky at this time, you can see that in the darkness of night, among the continuous camps, the lights and flags are like stars, twinkling and shining together, reflecting people''s eyes. , the chilling aura, straight into the sky!


    The Taihang Mountains in the distance are like a giant dragon stretching thousands of miles, crawling quietly. The majestic place is ferocious, and it is unknown how many creatures will be destroyed and swallowed in it.


    Yan Liang and Wen Chou''s tents of the Chinese army are located in the depths of the camp. Compared with the tents of ordinary soldiers, they are more majestic and extravagant.


    Yan Liang sat at the top, Wen Chou sat on one side, and several middle-level military school officials sat on the left and right sides, and everyone laughed and laughed. Several military academies have followed Yan Liangwenchou for a long time, and naturally they have a good understanding of Yan Liangwenchou''s disposition and temper. Knowing that this simple military dinner is to see Wenchou off, it is natural to make fun of it, and it will not be rigid The face said something about the military discipline of not drinking alcohol in the army to spoil the atmosphere, and said good things, and flattered and sent them over without money.


    "The two generals, Hu Wei, are now leading such a large army and horses to separate the army. It is sure to be like a broken bamboo. Maybe they will be able to reunite in Taiyuan in a blink of an eye! What kind of troops in Taiyuan, the Wang family has no head, and the Wen family is declining. Who can resist it? The two generals are mighty? When the soldiers approach the city, they will definitely surrender! I hate that Zhengxi doesn’t know what is good, but it doesn’t matter, it’s just a matter of spending more effort, and I’m still looking forward to more meritorious deeds from Zhengxi!”


    Although these military academies didn’t have much education, and the words of the fighting men lacked some logic, but it didn’t prevent them from being caught, and they boasted a lot, making Yan Liangwen full of ugly smiles.


    "I heard that there is still Yecheng in the south, and General Chunyu will also lead the way. If these three ways are advancing together, who in the world can stop them?"


    "General Chunyu? Haha, don''t expect too much, just with his old arms and legs, and his slow temper. When he arrives, I''m afraid we''ll have taken Taiyuan already! By then we''ll advance into Taiyuan City, and call those Slowly watch your eyes burst into flames!"


    "It''s just..."


    "When it comes to fighting, it is better to follow the two generals, who are sympathetic to the soldiers and brave the three armies. If you fight with this courageous commander, you will not be suffocated to death!"


    Several confidant generals scratched Yan Liangwenchou''s itchy heart with every sentence, and couldn''t help laughing at the moment, but after laughing for a while, he wanted to put on a show, Yan Liang frowned and said: "Well... how to say it is my own Brother, it’s still a bit inappropriate to talk about people behind the scenes, so I can’t say this again... But what kind of surprises does General Gao need? What kind of surprises are needed now! Push it over and it’s over! I don’t know what it means! Eye, now I believe in that guy who is a high-ranking official and a high-ranking scholar! He is just a talkative guy, could it be that the loss he suffered last time was not enough?!"


    "Speaking of which, Gao Yuancai is also a good person..." Wen Chou said, "I sent some singers to me last time. If the war goes well, brother might as well protect him a little bit. After all, Gao Yuancai is also... um..."


    Yan Liang snorted, and said, "Don''t miss out on XX''s business and it will be done! XX will naturally understand it, but brother, you should be careful of those greedy guys who have no reputation..."


    Wen Chou nodded, and said with a cruel smile: "This group of thieves, don''t have to fall into someone''s hands, otherwise, after the Taiyuan Shangdang battle is over, I don''t mind turning around and accepting these guys!"


    Yan Liang nodded and talked for a while. After drinking a few cups, he saw that the sky was getting late and the night was dark, so he stood up with the wine in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Your brother has to leave early tomorrow, so it''s not advisable to drink too much. Let''s stop here tonight! After Taiyuan Shangdang is leveled, you and I brothers will have a good drink! You guys should use your strength and make more contributions, and I will guarantee you a bright future!"


    Several confidants and generals looked at each other, stood up solemnly, and accepted the order with folded fists: "If you dare not do your best, you will die!"


    The banquet is gone, and they return to each other.


    Accompanied by his own guards, Wang Ming returned to his small tent from the large tent of the Chinese Army.


    This time Yuan Shaoju went all out to attack the Taiyuan Shangdang, not only mobilizing soldiers, but also needing to deploy some civil servants, so Wang Ming followed Yan Liang from Yecheng to Zhongmou.


    Wang Ming was a little preoccupied.


    As an ordinary civil servant in charge of logistics, Wang Ming naturally doesn''t have to fight in person like Yan Liangwenchou. Normally speaking, he doesn''t need to worry too much about safety, but since he found out about Yuan Shao''s deployment in the army, this raises the question. I never let go of my heart.


    Most people in the Han Dynasty did not have any special habit of keeping secrets. In addition, the mobilization of the army could not be completed in a day or two. Yan Liang, Wen Chou and both of them are military generals who are more focused on fighting and fighting on the battlefield, so they are usually not very strict in their mouths, and they reveal some news from time to time...


    But these news were enough to shock Wang Ming.


    This time Yuan Shao sent troops, divided into three groups.


    Wen Chou in the north was the chief general, recruited Wuhuan people as deputy generals, Shenpei Hejusuo as the supervisor, and Yuan Xi as the backup, and attacked the north of Taiyuan from Daijun area.


    Of course, Yuan Shao is the main one in the middle, but Yuan Shao is still in Yecheng, and I am afraid that he will not come to Zhongmou camp until the official formation of troops. Yan Liang is the main general, Zhang He is the deputy general, and Gao Gan is the side army. It seems that Gao Gan wants to take the slant of the sword again to avenge his shame...


    Not only that, it is said that Tian Feng and Guo Tu will also come to Zhongmou in two days. If this happens, things may be troublesome.


    The one to the south is Chun Yuqiong as the main general. Although Chunyuqiong was a little older, so naturally he was not as aggressive as Yan Liangwenchou, but Chunyuqiong was a veteran of one of the eight captains of Xiyuan when He Jin was in power. It is also regular and regular, and Hanoi''s troops will be gathered to march westward together and invade the Shangdang River East area.


    In addition, Wang Ming also heard that General Yuan Shaoyuan sent a letter to Cao Cao in Yanzhou. Although he didn’t know what he was talking about, if he speculated according to Wang Ming, he might have asked Cao Cao to cooperate with the side army...


    In this way, from north to south, all three routes are advancing together. General Zhengxi may be in danger this time!


    Wang Ming was sitting in his small tent. According to the usual time, he should be resting at this time, but Wang Ming didn''t feel sleepy, just thinking over and over in his heart.


    This time, in Wang Ming''s view, it seems to be the most critical battle related to Fei Qian, the general who conquered the west. If he wins, there is still a glimmer of life.


    Wang Ming sat silently, touching the small bamboo tube with the scarf in his arms, unable to make a decision. The air in the tent was stuffy, which made his temples sticky. Although the temperature was low in the cold night in early spring, fine beads of sweat gradually gathered on his forehead, and then dripped down from the corners of his eyebrows.


    "Wang..." Wang Ming opened his mouth, but found that his throat was dry and he could hardly make a sound. He coughed twice, swallowed some saliva, and after moistening his throat, he continued to call out in a low voice, "Wang Sanlang! Sanlang !"


    Those who follow Wang Ming are all descendants of the Wang family. The partners who grew up with Wang Ming since childhood, their loyalty is relatively guaranteed.


    Wang Sanlang sat up in a corner of the tent, and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty called me?"


    "Yes..." Wang Ming responded, and after a moment of silence, he made up his mind and said, "General Wen will leave the camp tomorrow, and there will be some confusion. You can take this opportunity to leave the camp...Give this to Mr. Cai Lang in Yecheng...If you leave the camp on the way... Someone inspected and said that they went to Yecheng to purchase military supplies..."


    Wang Ming handed the bamboo tube in his arms to Wang Sanlang, and gave some detailed instructions, and then watched Wang Sanlang put away the small bamboo tube in the dim light. Lie down on the bed. Since you choose to believe and follow Feiqian, you shouldn''t shrink back!


    ………………


    On the thirteenth day of the first month of the first year of Changping in the Han Dynasty, Fei Qian and his party arrived in Taiyuan.


    On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Fei Qian invited the local gentry Haoyou of Taiyuan to hold a banquet in the name of offering sacrifices to "Taiyi". If they win, they will all be reduced to third-class gentry in the future, and they will never have a bright future.


    At the banquet, although these local snakes were a little surprised, they still expressed their willingness to follow Fei Qian and resist Yuan Shao''s invasion together. Of course, this is said verbally, but how it is actually done remains to be seen.


    However, everyone realized that Shangdang, Taiyuan, a place that has not been invaded by war for a long time, will usher in a tough battle...


    On the 18th of the first month, Fei Qian had a discussion with Cui Jun in Taiyuan and arranged relevant preparations for the war. On the 21st of the first month, Fei Qian went south to Shangdang Huguan.


    Zhang Liao was stationed at Huguan.


    Zhang Liao seems to be a little restless these days, often in a daze, and his confidants who have been with Zhang Liao for many years are naturally aware of it, but they dare not ask, they just whisper in private.


    The team that was transported from Taiyuan to Shangdang to supplement the military supplies and rations has already sent back the news that Wen Hou Lu Bu has arrived in Taiyuan. As a former subordinate, Zhang Liao also hesitated, should he go to see him?


    If you go to meet, what capacity do you use to meet?


    Of course, the act of meeting is not just as simple as nodding and saying hello when ordinary people meet on the road, but it represents an attitude, and this attitude is not so easy to express.


    Zhang Liao was very distressed.


    Why don''t you go see him? The reason is naturally very good. After all, it is said that Yuan Shao is about to attack the Shangdang in Taiyuan on a large scale. As he is responsible for defense, he can''t say that he left the garrison easily. Moreover, military matters are extremely cumbersome. , as long as Zhang Liao is looking for something casually, it can be said that he can''t get away from him, and he can''t spare time to come and see him in Taiyuan. But the problem is that although it makes sense to do so, it doesn''t make sense...


    Therefore, in Zhang Liao''s heart, the back and forth thinking became entangled, not to mention himself, even the guards who followed him could see it, but this kind of thing can only be decided by Zhang Liao himself, You can''t make decisions for Zhang Liao on your own.


    General Fei Qian of Zhengxi is the commander-in-chief of the whole army. Everyone knows this, but hearing that Wen Hou Lu Bu has taken over the post of governor of Bingzhou, does it mean that Lu Bu will command them to fight next?


    Or is the governor of Bingzhou the same as the governor of Yizhou?


    Zhang Liao was having a hard time judging, he just felt heavy in his heart and didn''t know what to do. Lu Bu was not mean to him, and Fei Qian, General of Zhengxi, was also very kind to him, and now the relationship between Taiyuan Shangdang and the like is complicated, what should he do to deal with it the most correct way?


    In the past few days, Zhang Liao has not been able to sleep at all. He has to be busy with military affairs during the day, and he has to worry about thinking at night. But every moment, behind Zhang Liao''s silent appearance, he was asking himself repeatedly, what to do, what to do!


    In the night, when Zhang Liao was still hesitating, dozens of horsemen and horses galloped along the road to the party camp.


    The rangers who were on guard outside the camp went up to meet them, and after checking for a while, they brought them with them to the Shangdang camp, and shouted loudly from a distance: "Quickly go and report to Captain Zhang! It''s the envoy Jia." You come here!"


    Zhang Liao hadn’t rested yet, when he heard that he hurriedly got up and went to the gate of the camp, he saw Jia Qu standing under the torch in the dark, with a gloomy face, his heart skipped a beat...
