Chapter 1521 The haunted figure


    Liu Gui''s non-violent and non-resistance behavior obviously made Zhang Fei let go of his guard.


    In fact, both Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are almost the same type. They are soft and not hard, and the more aggressive they are, they say threatening words, or express regrets in the future. If you are not convinced, you must do it. On the contrary, if they were like Liu Bei, who yelled twice and then dropped two or three teardrops, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu''s hearts would soften.


    Therefore, Liu Gui''s fully cooperative attitude also made Zhang Fei relax his vigilance. In Zhang Fei''s thinking, if Zhang Fei was in danger when he went out of the city, Liu Gui might not go to rescue him, but if Wu Yi was in danger, Liu Gui would probably go to the rescue, because after all, Liu Gui and Wu Yi were in danger. We have known each other for many years, how can we have some friendship...


    However, the question is, aren’t the full-time wall-climbing and wall-climbing workers mostly friends and brothers?


    Liu Gui slapped his chest in front of Zhang Fei swearingly, and when he left Fu County, crossed the Fu River, and saw the three-color flag of General Zhengxi, he immediately asked his own troops to surround the other Jingzhou soldiers who were traveling with him. Get up, then surrender to Huang Cheng.


    Liu Gui is not optimistic about Liu Bei, not at all.


    If Liu Bei didn''t move Liu Gui''s soldiers, it would be fine. This kind of thing, as a general of the commanding army, is no less than cutting off people''s wealth and stealing people''s jobs. Liu Gui really felt that he couldn''t beat Zhang Fei, so he endured it in order not to suffer the immediate loss.


    Of course, it’s just Zhang Fei’s thick lines. If it’s Liu Bei, he might be aware of it. The face will still be given for a period of time, just like Liu Bei put Liu Zhang under house arrest, but from time to time he will bring some food and clothing in a high-profile way and send it to Liu Zhang''s manor in person.


    So, Wu Yi was sad.


    Is it shameful to surrender?


    Among the gentry children of the Han Dynasty who still worshiped the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, the matter of surrender is really not a particularly big shame, and it is not even comparable to defeat.


    To use an analogy, a defeat is like a complete failure of the project in charge, which means that either there is a deviation in the plan, or there is a problem with the implementation, or there is a lack of personal ability. Anyway, there are problems, but As far as the act of surrender is concerned, for the gentry children of the Han Dynasty, it is like job-hopping, jumping from one company to another...


    Will most people in future generations feel that job-hopping is a shameful thing?


    No, maybe a little guilty, but certainly not ashamed.


    "General Huang..." The restlessness in Wei Yan''s heart resurfaced again, and then grew bigger and blazing, "General Huang, how about defrauding Fu County once?"


    Huang Cheng froze for a moment, then frowned and thought.


    "General Huang, look, we have Liu and Wu, but we can use their names..." Wei Yan said, and then he felt more and more that this plan was very feasible, "As long as the city gate is opened fraudulently, one can rush in." , and General Liu’s old troops are in the city, causing chaos, attacking both internally and externally, and taking Fu County is like turning the palm of your hand!"


    Huang Cheng thought for a moment, nodded his head slightly, and said, "Maybe you can give it a try... But, be careful..."


    Seeing that Huang Cheng agreed, Wei Yan laughed loudly and said, "Don''t worry, I''m familiar with this matter!"


    Huang Chen laughed dumbly, then frowned slightly...


    ………………


    There is a military village outside the city of Fu County. On the one hand, it is used to garrison troops, and on the other hand, it is also a place for training.


    Normally speaking, Liu Gui and the others would bring their soldiers back to the barracks first, so when Liu Gui led them all the way to the city gate, although some people felt a little surprised, they still did not cause any disturbance.


    After all, Liu Gui had been guarding Fu County for some time before. As the chief general, he walked vertically in Fu County if he wanted to, and walked sideways if he wanted to. Its purview has been taken over, but the old mindset will not be eradicated so quickly.


    Fu County, like most small counties, generally presents a square shape, but because of the geographical relationship, it is not a complete square, but a bit trapezoidal. The east and north sides are relatively narrow, while the west and south sides present An arc shape, almost serialized together. A moat, I don''t know if it was originally wide and deep, or it was reinforced later, it seems wider than the average city, and because of this reason, the suspension bridge seems to be very narrow and long visually.


    The wooden boards of the suspension bridge are very thick, and each board is made of several large pieces of wood nailed together from head to tail, plus iron hoops, which are very strong, but it is also easy to disassemble. It can be completely dismantled, and can also be used to stack and strengthen the city gate.


    Because it is in the state of battle, there are only two hours of firewood mining in a day, and these two hours are not fixed, but informed in advance, maybe in the morning, maybe at noon, or it may be changed to evening. Is it convenient for residents, hehe, who cares?


    Anyway, in the area of ??Zitong, Fu County, some wealthy households with big surnames have basically run away long ago, and those ordinary people who still have some relatives to turn to have also run away. The most grassroots and poorest people who would be arrested as refugees if they left Fu County, for these people, living a day is considered a day, and they have no confidence to talk about human rights, freedom, equality and so on.


    Liu Gui came out from the crowd, although his voice was slightly trembling, but he didn''t attract many people''s attention: "Quick...quickly open the city gate! So-and-so is back!"


    However, it is not Liu Gui''s former subordinate who is currently guarding the city gate, but Zhang Fei''s direct subordinate.


    "I''ve seen General Liu..." The captain of the city gate poked his head out from the battlements, cupped his hands, and then looked at it. Although he felt that something was wrong, he didn''t check it in detail. After all, Zhang Fei and Liu Guizhi Let Zhang Fei and Liu Gui solve the problem between them, "Wait a minute, I will invite General Zhang to come..."


    Liu Gui frowned, "Why are you bothering General Zhang! Open the city gate, and I will go to General Zhang to report back!"


    The city gate captain hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head, "I''m sorry, General Liu, it''s my duty, please wait for General Liu..." After speaking, he shrank back and ignored Liu Gui.


    Liu Gui called a few more times, but there was no response, so he couldn''t help but look back at Wei Yan who was hiding in the queue.


    Wei Yan also felt a little bit in his heart, but Wei Yan felt that this plan did not seem to be a complete failure, and it seemed that it could be rescued again...


    Not long after, Zhang Fei boarded the city, looked at Liu Gui at the bottom of the city, and said in a low voice, "Where is General Wu?"


    "Report to General Zhang, General Wu has received some injuries and is just behind..." Liu Gui responded according to the previously agreed words, "When XX arrived, General Wu was already surrounded... Fortunately, General Wu was rescued, but Wu The general has lost a lot of blood and his body is weakened, it is better to ask General Zhang to open the gate of the city quickly and call a doctor for treatment..."


    Is this cheap brother-in-law Wu Yi injured? Zhang Fei frowned. Damn it, tell him not to underestimate Zhengxi, but he went after him so arrogantly. Look, he was not only defeated and injured, but also injured. Isn''t this all self-inflicted?


    Really unlucky.


    "Come on, open... eh? Wait..." Zhang Fei originally retracted his head and was about to order the opening of the city. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong, so he stuck his head out again and looked around the city. Liu Gui et al.


    Below the city, the sweat on Liu Gui''s head involuntarily came out and flowed down his cheeks, but he didn''t dare to wipe it off, and he didn''t dare to meet Zhang Fei''s eyes, for fear that Zhang Fei would see something wrong, but The more this was the case, the more strange Zhang Fei felt, but after all, Zhang Fei''s mind was not moving fast, and he didn''t think of that much for a while, but he just vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn''t tell.


    Wei Yan, who was in the queue, saw that the situation seemed to be in bad shape, so he ordered in a low voice to let the surrounding soldiers prepare to launch the crossbow secretly. He was going to take another gamble, if he could shoot the black-faced and bearded man on the battlements on the spot, although It is said that this distance is a bit remote, but if it is shot, it will naturally cause a certain amount of chaos, and it may be possible to take advantage of the chaos to attack Fu County.


    It''s a pity that Wei Yan also forgot one thing for a while. From Wei Yan''s perspective, these small actions in the queue seemed to be blocked by the people in front, but to Zhang Fei who was on the top of the wall, he was condescending, which was very obvious. , It’s like the classroom students in the later generations lower their heads and do small movements, thinking that they are covered by desks and books, and the teacher cannot see them, but the actual situation is that they can’t see the teacher, and the teacher can clearly see it at a glance on the podium.


    If Wei Yan hadn''t done these actions, Zhang Fei glanced around a few times, maybe he opened the city gate without finding anything. As a result, Wei Yan and the others immediately attracted Zhang Fei''s attention, and then he took a closer look, and suddenly found a The figure that was so familiar that it fascinated him... Cough cough, lingering in his dreams, um, it''s about the same anyway, under a shock, his voice suddenly walked in front of his brain...


    "Hey! Wu that black-faced short boy!"


    If the mind is gloomy, such as Sima Yi, a tycoon in women''s clothing, even if he finds a flaw, he will not call it out immediately, but will probably make some arrangements according to the plan, and then ruthlessly cheat him, but the problem is that Zhang Hurry up, seeing Wei Yan who did the things that made him shy and gritted his teeth before, how can he hold back, he immediately yelled out, and then realized after the yelling, this black-faced short boy actually Want to swindle the city!


    "Shoot him to death!" Wei Yan pointed at his plan and yelled loudly, "Under Zhengxi''s command! Wei Yan and Wei Wen are here! Wu Yi''s entire army has been wiped out and has surrendered! Zhengxi''s heavenly soldiers have arrived! Please descend quickly and dedicate yourself!" Those who live in the city will not die!" You have a black face and a big beard, I have a name and a surname, do you hear me clearly?


    Near Wei Yan, more than a dozen guards raised their bows and crossbows, and shot arrows at Zhang Fei with a strong breath of death!


    Zhang Fei was frightened out of his wits. He pushed the battlements with both hands suddenly, shrank his head, with such force that he even sat down on the square bricks on the city wall floor. Arrows and crossbows from bottom to top roared up from the gaps in the crenel, some hit the stones and fell crookedly as if unwilling to reconcile, while others were nailed into the cracks in the bricks, There seemed to be a little bit of sparks, and some of them pierced the heads and arms of two or three unlucky ghosts nearby, and suddenly blood gushed out, spraying on the crenels of the city wall.


    When Zhang Fei came to his senses, he realized that he was sitting on the ground of the city wall. He couldn''t help but feel ashamed and angry. If it wasn''t for his dark face, he might have been noticed by others. He jumped up immediately and shouted: "Come on!" Man! Shoot me! Shoot ''em!"


    Above the head of the city, the warning gongs rang together, and the noise spread.


    Although Wei Yan yelled very hard, but he also understood that without carrying any siege equipment, it is really not the slightest bit of difficulty to break through a city that is already on guard because of the suspension bridge, so he immediately backed away, A signal was sent to Huang Cheng who was hiding behind.


    Zhang Fei originally wanted to let the soldiers in the barracks outside the city outflank and intercept Wei Yan and others, but he also found Huang Cheng''s soldiers and horses in the rear, far away, and the number was unknown. Perhaps Zhang Fei had a deep memory of the previous ambush, or maybe it was Zhang Fei finally used his brain for a while, and he didn''t dare to let the barracks just open the gate of the village and launch an attack under an unknown situation, so Wei Yan, Liu Gui and others were shot and killed more than ten soldiers on the periphery. Then he retreated slowly to the back and joined Huang Cheng.


    "Captain Gao, if someone suppresses the barracks outside the city, can they destroy the city?" Wei Yan still did not give up, found Gao Ran, and asked.


    Gao Ran looked at it for a while, shook his head and said: "The bridge in this city is narrow and the river is wide. It may be difficult to cross it for a while... Besides, there are not many thunderstorms left, so it may not be able to break the gate of this city..."


    Zhen Tianlei is such a silly name, but it is easier to be accepted by ordinary soldiers. If it is named with something like 3C+2KNO3+S, I am afraid that most people will be confused when they see it.


    The black powder carried by Gao Ran is naturally impossible to be unlimited. After breaking through three cottages in a row, there is not much left. If you want to blow up the gate of Fu County, even if you Even if it can pass the moat, it may not be able to have enough to destroy the city gate...


    Wei Yan felt unwilling, gritted his teeth and stared at Fu County, and suddenly thought of something, "Isn''t there a dam left by that guy in the Fu River, if we lure..."


    Huang Cheng shook his head and said, "Impossible. If it were you, under the current circumstances, would you go out of the city to fight? And pursue them all the way to Fushui?"


    Wei Yan was silent for a long time, and finally sighed.


    Huang Cheng suddenly smiled naively, and said: "Master Wen, don''t be discouraged, if you can''t succeed here, there are other places... But this time, don''t think about taking the city in one go..."
