Chapter 3409 Welcome and send off


    Like Liu Ye, Lu Su also left quite eagerly.


    It''s not that Lu Su has much thoughts about running for the big man, but that Lu Su has been thinking about Zhou Yu''s body.


    In fact, Lu Su and Zhou Yu had more or less "friendship" through "fighting".


    This kind of "friendship" is very interesting, and it can even be said that it pervades the entire Jiangdong political group...


    The acquaintance between Zhou Yu and Lu Su originated from borrowing food.


    Because the fish sauce was originally planned to be snatched.


    On the surface, "asking for help" is just to give the other party a chance to learn something interesting, and also to give a decent reason for subsequent conflicts.


    At that time, Zhou Yu asked to be appointed as the magistrate of Juchao County in order to cover his next escape and defect to Sun Ce in Jiangdong. However, if he wanted to see Sun Ce, he couldn’t go empty-handed, so Zhou Yu took a detour and went to Dongcheng with him. Hundreds of people specially blocked the door of Lu Su''s house, claiming that they had heard that Lu Su was famous and came to ask for food.


    And Lu Su is not the kind of loyal and honest person shown in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but "rarely strong and fond of clever tricks." He knows that "the world will be in chaos, so he learns fencing, riding and archery, recruits young people, and provides In order to provide food and clothing, he traveled to and from the southern mountains to shoot and hunt, and the Yin Xiangbu restrained his troops, teaching martial arts and practicing soldiers."


    When Zhou Yu came, Lu Su was actually not famous.


    At that time, Zhou Yu came to visit with hundreds of people, and it was obvious that he was picking on the weak. Because "there are many light knights and cunning Yangshi, including Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo, and Xu Qian, each of whom has his own tribe." Bao is the most fruitful and talented, and is feared by others. 』


    In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Yu said, "How can you be bright when you are born in a good place?" Why didn''t Zhou Yu lead hundreds of people to block the homes of famous light warrior leaders such as Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo, and Xu Qian?


    To put it simply, if Zhou Yu had not approached Lu Su at that time, he might not have even had the money to travel with hundreds of people from Shouchun to Juchao!


    Zhou Yu specifically targets small-scale light knight leaders like Lu Su. Essentially, he is looking for money, but he wants to find a good name. These money and grains are to be taken to Juchao, and then taken to Jiangdong to join Sun Ce as a bargaining chip for entry. Although Zhou Yu had a good relationship with Sun Ce, it did not affect the more people and materials he brought, the more rewards he would get. This was related to his status and power in Jiangdong.


    Zhou Yu did this kind of thing more than once.


    Later, when Sun Ce died, Zhou Yu went to the funeral with his troops and horses, so he stayed in Wu to share the responsibility of guarding the army with Zhang Zhao, the chief historian. However, this eventually laid the foundation for Sun Quan''s suspicion of Zhou Yu...


    Therefore, it can be said that the entire Jiangdong is filled with a strong atmosphere of speculation, from the Sun family as the leader to the ordinary gentry children.


    Therefore, Lu Su was willing to agree to act as an angel. Didn''t he know that he was being used by Xun Yu and others? But he also wanted to go to Guanzhong to have a look, so he walked not slowly. After bidding farewell to Pang Shanmin and Huang Zhong, he It’s time to arrive in Shang County.


    Wenpin also followed Lu Su to Shang County.


    Stationed in Shang County is Liao Hua.


    This morning, the sky was just a little bright.


    Lu Su had just woken up when he heard the steward from the inn calling outside the hospital, "Is the angel getting up?" The Lord is visiting my house! 』


    Lu Su was startled when he heard this and quickly replied: "My clothes are disheveled and it is inconvenient to entertain guests. Please wait for a while." 』


    Lu Su quickly arranged his hair and dressed up. The close guards who were with him also quickly brought water and asked Lu Su to wash up. After everything was almost done, Lu Su walked out of the yard to greet Liao Hua.


    When Liao Hua met Lu Su, he waved for someone to give him the meeting gift.


    The officiant was a wild duck.


    The accompanying gifts are some ordinary food, dried fruits and the like, which are not considered expensive.


    Liao Hua looked at Lu Su and apologized: "The angel came last night. Hua was busy with military affairs and couldn''t escape. He treated the angel lightly." Please forgive me. This courtyard was also in disrepair, but fortunately it was still neat and tidy, barely worthy of being an angel. 』


    After Lu Su heard this, his heart trembled slightly, and he quickly returned the salute with a smile, "General, you''re welcome, you''re welcome..."


    Liao Hua waved his hand and said, "Hua is only a captain and cannot be called a general." 』


    Although Liao Hua lowered his body, mouthing "angels" one by one, and his face was full of smiles, in Lu Su''s eyes, there was an indescribable feeling...


    Lu Su searched his memory and seemed to have heard nothing about Liao Hua''s achievements. However, after meeting Liao Hua, he instinctively felt that this person would be difficult to deal with, just like when he met Zhou Yu.


    Although he seems young, he is very calm and contradictory.


    This is not to say that Lu Su would think that Liao Hua in front of him was comparable to Zhou Yu, but it was the Liao Hua in front of him that made Lu Su feel that Liao Hua was young, mature and calm.


    Ordinary young people have a more or less irritable air. Even if they want to pretend to be calm, some subtle changes in the corners of their eyes and hands and feet will inevitably reveal the unique flexibility, impetus and some eagerness of young people. The feeling of wanting to get things done without necessarily thinking about how to do it well.


    Liao Hua did not.


    Not at all.


    Perhaps Lu Su had not seen enough young people, so he could only compare with the samples he had seen.


    Liao Hua didn''t know that in Lu Su''s heart, he could already be compared with Zhou Yu when he was young, but Liao Hua also noticed the subtle changes in Lu Su''s demeanor, "Did Angel not have a good rest last night?" 』


    Lu Su quickly said: "The general is too humble. He has achieved a lot of merits now. He will be promoted to general soon. I just wish the general in advance." Su has lived in a remote place for a long time, and it is great to have such a place to rest. Thanks to General for your concern, Su had a good rest last night. 』


    I don''t know why, Lu Su could still maintain a neither humble nor arrogant attitude in front of Pang Shanmin, and even put on some angelic demeanor. But now in front of Liao Hua, Lu Su felt like he was naturally shorter.


    This is probably the change between host and guest, right?


    Although Pang Shanmin and Huang Zhong were also called the main hussars, they were somewhat guest generals at that time, so they were generally regarded as peripheral personnel under the hussars. Therefore, Lu Su''s tension may be due to the slight advantage brought by the angel''s scepter. feel.


    But after Lu Su arrived in Shang County, the situation became somewhat different.


    More importantly, although the attitudes of Pang Shanmin and Huang Zhong were not good, they were not too important to Lu Su. Although Shang County was not a large area, it was an important entry channel. If you want to pass Wuguandao, you must obtain Liao Hua''s consent. Therefore, Lu Su naturally does not have any sense of superiority and does not even dare to show the slightest angelic posture.


    Moreover, although Pang Shanmin is said to be sharp-tongued, he still belongs to the outer circle of Hussar. As the guard of Wuguan, Liao Hua is naturally a core figure. If Liao Hua said something about Lu Su, It is likely to affect the entire process of delivering the edict. Naturally, Lu Su behaved extraordinarily harmlessly to humans and animals.


    When people get along with each other, the rise and fall of arrogance is relative, not absolute.


    Therefore, when the two parties were greeting each other, Lu Su naturally bent down lower.


    It was a pity that all the things Lu Su did, whether he "respectfully" called Liao Hua a general or lowered his posture, had no effect.


    Because Liao Hua came here very early in the morning. In addition to being considerate in terms of etiquette, he also came to tell Lu Su an "unfortunate" news -


    A section of Wuguan Mountain Road collapsed and is now being repaired, so Lu Su needs to stay in Shang County for a while. Finally, Liao Hua added that if Lu Su needed anything in life, he could send someone to contact Liao Hua, but he left without even giving Lu Su a chance.


    As for how long it will take to build the road...


    Liao Hua said that it will definitely be repaired within thirty working days!


    Lu Su had no choice but to send Liao Hua away from the inn.


    After Lu Su turned around, he called Wen Pin, "General Wen, what Liao Guanzheng said must be an excuse!" It’s just for you and me to stay here! 』


    Wenpin looked at Lu Su and nodded, "That''s true." 』


    The possibility of mountain road collapse is not impossible, but it is certainly not high.


    After all, Pangshanmin Huang Zhong and others led their troops through. If this is true, wouldn''t it be an opportunity for Cao Jun to fight back?


    Seeing Wenpin''s lack of money, Lu Su couldn''t help but make it clear: "What should I do if I miss my trip while staying here?" I wonder if General Wen has any clever strategies to deal with this? 』


    Wenpin smiled and shook his head, "I am just a martial artist, how can I come up with any clever ideas?" What''s more, now they have put down their swords and guns and are not fighting on the battlefield. If someone wants to harm an angel, I will naturally fight bravely. As for others... please forgive me for my incompetence. 』


    Of course Wenpin understood what Lu Su meant, but he pretended to be confused.


    After all, Wenpin couldn''t hold on any longer at that time, either surrender or die. Lu Su''s coming just gave Wenpin a third choice, but it couldn''t be regarded as a favor to survive. Therefore, Wenpin escorted Lu Su all the way and ensured Lu Su''s personal safety, which was equivalent to returning the favor. As for other things, Wenpin did not want to participate and did not dare to participate.


    Seeing Wenpin like this, Lu Su was helpless, and it was not worth falling out with Wenpin over such a thing, so he could only smile and give up.


    Lu Sukuu sat for a long time and suddenly thought of a possibility!


    Could it be that the Hussars are preparing to counterattack?


    Thinking of this, Lu Su couldn''t wait any longer. Waiting in Shang County would not be life-threatening, but it was obviously not in line with Jiangdong''s interests, so Lu Su thought about it and decided to use the chips he had planned to use after arriving in Guanzhong depending on the situation. …


    As for whether I still have any chips after arriving in Guanzhong...


    Then you have to pass this level first!


    …


    …


    Of course, Lu Su''s guess was not wrong. Of course, Liao Hua could not stop Lu Su with his own ideas. Instead, he received clear instructions from Pang Tong to stop Lu Su at Wuguan before new orders came!


    When he learned that Emperor Liu Xie had sent an angel to mediate, Pang Tong was unhappy and became angry!


    When Cao Cao''s army attacked Tongguan and invaded Hedong, he pretended that he didn''t hear or see it. Now that Cao Cao is about to die, he issued an edict to mediate?


    Pang Tong was not very happy with the Emperor of Han Dynasty in the first place, but now he feels that the Emperor is really hateful!


    Cao Jun has been fighting at Tongguan for so long. Now he finally got the chance to counterattack. Why should he stop and wait for the angel''s order?


    Are you kidding me?


    Pang Tong asked Liao Hua to find an excuse to stop Lu Su, which was actually a good attitude. The group of angels who went to mediate the disputes between local princes in the early years did not end well, and some were even killed by some "bandits" on the way!


    Pang Tong didn''t think about killing Lu Su, nor did he want to **** any scepter to humiliate the angels and the emperor, so he was showing mercy.


    Pang Tong now came to Tongguan again.


    Zhu Ling''s guess about the forage was only half correct.


    It is true that in the past few days, after Zhang Liao arrived, a lot of cavalry and war horses have been added to the Linzhi Plain above Tongguan, but at the same time, there are also some big guys that Zhu Ling did not expect...


    Yak.


    “Where did these guys come from? Ma Yue looked at the yak that was gradually getting a little restless due to the congestion in Tongguan Pass and said, "It''s so big!" The hair on this body is probably not tasty! 』


    Zhang Liao smiled and said, "It''s almost the same as ordinary beef." It''s just that these cows live in high and cold places. Without this hair, they probably wouldn''t be able to survive. 』


    Zhu Ling said: "I heard that these cattle cannot be plowed or ridden. I don''t know what to do with such cattle in the snowy area?" 』


    The three of them were talking and laughing, actually to relieve the tension and pressure in their hearts.


    Even for a veteran on the battlefield like Zhang Liao, who was about to launch a counterattack against Cao Jun, he didn''t show much on the surface, but he was still somewhat excited in his heart.


    How many times in life can such a scene and such a scale happen?


    Pang Tong stood aside and touched his chin. He feels that he has been really tired for a while. When this battle is over, he will have to have a good meal at least, no, he will have to have a good meal!


    Make up for the lost meat!


    It''s all meat that was gained through hard work, so why should it be gone?


    It''s like a territory that was conquered by one''s own ability. Why should one just obey the emperor''s edict and stop when he says to stop?


    If you really want to stop, you have to fight one game first!


    Soon, the soldiers came up to report that everything was ready.


    Today Pang Tong not only wants to recapture the lower city of Tongguan, but also launches an attack on Cao Jun''s camp. By the way, he wants to test whether he can destroy Cao Jun''s pontoon bridge on the river...


    Anyway, there are a lot of things to do, so take your time.


    As for angels and so on, it is natural to let him take his time.


    It’s not that we don’t welcome angels, but that we wait until we are “ready” before welcoming them...


    It makes sense both emotionally and rationally.


    As for the passage of this attack, we actually have to thank Cao Cao.


    If Cao Cao hadn''t sent a large number of men in the early stage and desperately dug a flesh-and-blood road upward from the lower city of Tongguan, even Pang Tong wouldn''t have been able to use his fire-ox and fire-horse tactics!


    Originally, the passage between Tongguan and Lower City was narrow and steep, and most of the goods were even transported by cranes, but now...


    At least you can race!


    Since you can race horses, you can also race cattle...


    Following Pang Tong''s order, the Hussars'' counterattack against Cao''s army in Tongguan began.


    The long hair on the yak is simply the best fuel for burning.


    These yaks were actually sent by the guy who came to Chang''an for Buddhist scriptures after returning to the snowy area...


    Some yaks were left for breeding and cultivation, while the other yaks were now sent to Tongguan by Pang Tong.


    As the thunderous drums beat, everyone in Cao''s army was surprised to find that the first ones to rush out were not hussars in helmets and crests, but hairy monsters!


    Cao Jun originally responded to the sound of war drums at Tongguan Pass and was also boosting morale before the battle. The shouts of killing came and went, but soon they gradually stopped...


    "Look!" What''s coming down? 』


    These monsters lowered their heads and ran down the passage that Cao Jun finally dug.


    The "Hairy Monster" was not very fast at the beginning. After all, even if the passage down was dug, it was still somewhat steep.


    "What are these?" 』


    Most of Cao''s soldiers had never seen such an animal.


    I felt a little embarrassed for a moment...


    The soldiers of Cao''s army looked at each other in confusion. Where are the hussars that they agreed on?


    Could it be that these monsters were transformed from hussars?


    "Archer!" Prepare! Liu Fu, who was supervising the battle on the front line, was more experienced after all. When he saw the situation was not good, he immediately ordered, "Why are you just standing there?" ! No matter what it is, it is the enemy! enemy! 』


    Liu Fu''s shout also woke up Cao Zhang, who immediately ordered people to make noise and shoot at the "hairy monsters" that were rushing towards him!


    The soldiers of Cao''s army shouted one after another. The voices were not too quiet, but due to effective command, the voices could not be united in one place, so naturally they could not scare the running cattle.


    What''s more important is that the hussar soldiers hiding behind the cattle secretly set fire to the hair on the cattle when the cattle reached below!


    The yak was stinging, howling, and instinctively ran forward, heading straight towards Cao Jun''s array!


    "shooting! Shoot quickly! 』


    "Archer!" All of them! Prepare…"


    The flag is waved.


    "Put...put..."


    The archers on both sides of Cao''s army array, following the command of the lower-level officers, began to tilt their arrows at the yak herd.


    Densely packed arrows roared into the sky, and then headed down towards the running cattle!


    It has to be said that the archers of Cao''s army are still qualified. They can still have a good hit rate when throwing moving cattle from a long distance, but unfortunately, the shooting effect of the arrows is not good.


    On the one hand, the thick hair on these yaks is like a fluffy cotton armor. Unless the arrow is at a particularly good angle and hits some key parts, it will cause direct damage. In addition, yaks are not only hairy, but also have thick skin. Even if they are shot and bleed, they will only run more crazily because of the pain!


    With the arrows on his body, he still ran wildly!


    And there are some yaks that are on fire and smoking!


    "Monster!" "The soldiers of Cao''s army who didn''t know what was going on couldn''t help screaming when they saw this scene: "It''s broken! These monsters are immortal! Immortal! Unkillable! 』


    When it comes to unknown things, human beings are accustomed to fear first.


    Fear deepens chaos, and chaos tends to spread.


    But this is just a pre-appetizer...
