Three hundred and seventieth chapters
So Nie Zefeng posted a post claiming to hold a banquet in the army to thank you for your kind call from Prefect Huang and invite Prefect Huang to come and have a lecture.
In the evening of that day, a messenger left and went to Baidi City to deliver Nie Zefeng's post.
Before dark, the messenger returned again and brought back Huang Quan's reply.
In the letter, Huang Quan respectfully thanked Nie Zefeng for his kind invitation, but politely rejected Nie Zefeng's invitation on the grounds of being unwell.
Bang!
Nie Zefeng slapped the silk letter on the desk and sneered: "I personally wrote a letter to invite him. Huang Quan didn't give him any face. It seems that Baidi City must be attacked."
The Three Gorges have long been in the hands of the Jingzhou Army. Now the Shu Army is only one Baidi City left, so how could Nie Zefeng take it seriously?
At this time, Pang Tong said: "Tong had just secretly observed the terrain of Baidi City. This city was built on the mountain, which was extremely dangerous. If Huang Quan was really prepared, four thousand soldiers would be enough to guard for more than ten days. Then Liu Zhang suddenly realized that he would send a large army to rescue him. If a large number of Shu soldiers rushed to Baidi, at that time, the situation of attacking Shu would be detrimental to us."
Pang Tong disapproves of strong attack.
Nie Zefeng also knew the disadvantages of a strong attack, but now Nie Zefeng knew that he didn't have much time to know that he had. It was already the summer of 202 AD, and Nie Zefeng really made more contributions to his establishment.
At this time, Fa Zheng, who had been pondering but was silent, had a strange smile on his lips, "Master, you have a plan to call Huang Quan to come uninvited."
After the matter was confirmed, another news came from Xuzhou area that the soldiers stationed in Xuzhou area actually discovered Liu Bei, and Liu Bei who was not dead, was a voluntary surrender. Nie Zefeng just told the Xuzhou general to put Liu Bei in Xuzhou and quarreled because he had not experienced the surrendered hero.
...
Three days later.
It was already dark, but Huang Quan was still wearing armor and inspecting the top of Baidi City.
More than ten miles away were Nie Zefeng's 40,000 army. These 40,000 vanguard troops made Huang Quan feel as if he was on his back all the time, making him dare not relax at all.
The mighty Nie Zefeng led his army into his county for three days. For three days, the Chu army has remained silent and showed no sign of going north to the southern barbarians.
It seems that Nie Zefeng plans to stay at his doorstep and wants to leave.
The abnormal signs of the Chu army made Huang Quan feel increasingly uneasy.
Just as I was thinking, I suddenly saw a cavalry rushing towards the east gate under the fire at the top of the city.
Huang Quan became more vigilant immediately after his spirits were tightened.
But when he saw the horse heading straight to the city, he shouted, "Whether Huang Gongheng is here, I am Fazheng, let me enter the city quickly."
In the middle of the night, Fa Zheng, who was an envoy, suddenly came to Baidi City alone from Chu Camp. Such behavior immediately made Huang Quan confused.
"So it's Fa Xiaozhi. How come you're here late at night? Is there something important?" Huang Quan did not rush to open the city gate, but asked loudly.
Fa Zheng, who was under the city, shouted with anxiety, "The situation is urgent. If Gongheng does not let me enter the city, my Yizhou will be in trouble!"
After hearing this, Huang Quan's expression suddenly changed.
The four words "The disaster is coming" were like a knife, piercing Huang Quan's heart.
"Hurry, open the city gate quickly and let Xiaozhi enter the city." Huang Quan did not dare to think too much, and before the city gate opened, he rushed down the city.
The city gate opened, and Fa Zheng rode his horse in.
Huang Quan rode his horse to greet him and said anxiously: "Xiaozhi, what happened?"
"This is not a place to talk, let's talk about it elsewhere." Fa Zheng winked secretly.
Huang Quan understood, so he took Fa Zheng straight to the county government, walked into the lobby, and when he closed the door, he had no eyes or eyes.
At this time, Huang Quan couldn't wait to ask what was going on.
Fa Zheng said with a serious expression: "I heard about it soon, Nie Zefeng was secretly transporting a large number of Thunderbolt vehicles from Jiangling, with nearly 300 vehicles."
"Pili Car..."
Huang Quan looked suspicious, "While there are mountain roads to connect from Badong County to the Nanman, the roads are rugged and it is impossible to transport large-scale siege equipment at all. What's the use of Chu army to transport the PILI chariot?"
"Brother Gongheng, haven't you seen it yet? Nie Zefeng transported the thunder chariot. Although he was to help you pacify the Southern Barbarians, he was secretly trying to attack Baidi City!"
After Fa Zheng's words, Huang Quan was shocked.
Fa Zheng then said: "In recent days, I have been mingling with the Chu army and have invited some Chu army generals to privately. While they were drunk, they asked indirectly that they found that the Chu army helped us pacify the southern barbarians. Nie Zefeng simply wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to capture Baidi City and invade our Yizhou in large quantities."
Huang Quan was shocked again and again, at this time, his emotional reaction calmed down, and a sneering sneer appeared on his face.
Such a sneer seemed to have finally confirmed his previous guesses.
"As expected, Nie Zefeng is really ambition. He wants to swallow my Yizhou. Fortunately, Xiaozhi discovered it early. I will send someone to Chengdu to report to the Lord's Communiqué for help."
As he said that, Huang Quan picked up the pen and wanted to write a book.
At this time, Fa Zheng pulled Huang Quan and shook his head and sighed: "It will take at least ten days to go to Chengdu in Baidi City. Now Nie Zefeng's thunder chariot has arrived in Wu County and can arrive at Baidi as early as tomorrow. Gongheng just imagine, can you resist the attack of the 40,000 Chu troops with the thunder chariot with just four thousand soldiers?"
"So what if I can't resist it? At worst, I, Huang Quan, will live and perish with the city, and I will never let him take down Baidi City easily." Huang Quan said generously.
Fa Zheng shook his head: "Even if Gongheng has the will to die, once Emperor Bai lost his life, the Yizhou gate will be opened, and the Chu army will be able to drive into Sichuan. In the end, Nie Zefeng's plan will still succeed."
Huang Quan fell into deep thought, and his eyebrows became more and more anxious.
Nie Zefeng was so powerful that although his army was only 40,000, they were all elite soldiers in a hundred battles. Huang Quan could not deny the indisputable fact that the Shu army was not strong in combat.
If he really conquered the White Emperor for Nie Zefeng and easily crossed the danger of the Three Gorges, the situation in Yizhou would be as true as Fa Zheng said, and a great disaster would come.
"If not, I will send people directly to Jiangzhou to ask for help from the prefect of Ba County, General Yan, and asked him to send troops to Baidi urgently. General Yan has 10,000 elite troops. As long as he can arrive before the Chu army besieged, he will help me defend Baidi and defend the lord's army to help."
Huang Quan thought for a while and then thought of another plan.
Fa Zheng shook his head again: "Although Mr. Yan has 10,000 soldiers, he has always been cautious and has not received the lord's instructions. How could he send troops easily by just one side of yours and me? It is unreliable to rely on him."
"This is not possible, that is not possible. Could it be that you just sit back and watch the Chu thief capture the White Emperor?" Huang Quan was anxious and sweated.
Fa Zheng also frowned and walked into the hall, looking thoughtful.
After a while, Fa Zheng's eyes moved and he whispered: "Gongheng, I have a dangerous plan here. If this plan can be accomplished, it will not only ensure that the White Emperor will not lose it, but also kill Nie Zefeng in one fell swoop."
Huang Quan was greatly inspired and hurriedly asked what was the plan.
Fa Zhengsui was not too slow to tell his own strategies.
After hearing this, Huang Quan's expression on his face was quite complicated, as if he was excited and worried.
After pondering for a while, Huang Quan's expression was firm and he gritted his teeth and said, "Just follow Xiaozhi's plan. The Chu thief is deceitful and wants to disturb the peace in Yizhou, so we will ask him to pay a heavy price so that he will not dare to offend Yizhou again!"
...Two days later, the night is like a splash of ink and the bright moon is like a hook.
Baidi City and the Chu army camp more than ten miles away were all quiet and peaceful.
On the small hill in the north of the camp, the candlelight flashed, but Nie Zefeng was playing chess with Fa Zheng as leisurely as a cloud under the stars and moon.
"Fa Xiaozhi, why do you want to help the orphans?" Nie Zefeng asked lightly when he was about to make a move.
"Two reasons, one is that the lord is a hero of the time and is assisting the lord, so it is naturally to achieve great things and be famous in history."
When others face Nie Zefeng, they often praise him for "the wise ruler of the world", but Fa Zheng is blunt and calls him a "hero".
However, the word "hero" is more pleasing to Nie Zefeng than "wise master" or "hero master".
A smile flashed across the corner of his mouth, and another one fell swoop, "What about the second reason?"
"Liu Zhang, like Liu Biao, likes to raise some famous scholars who seek fame and reputation. I have always looked down on those so-called famous scholars who are just like him, so he has been excluded by others under Liu Zhang. He did not hide it from his lord, and helped his lord take over Yizhou. Another reason is to avenge those cold-hearted and excluded enemies."
Is it true that I will take revenge... It's so naive and frank, Fa Zheng, as in history, is a person who is willing to revenge.
Nie Zefeng is also a person who avenges revenge.
Suddenly, Nie Zefeng felt a little bit like meeting a soulmate in front of him.
"Okay, I will take revenge and revenge. This is true for a real man. I can promise you that after attacking Chengdu, those who look down on you and those who have been lazy, I can handle you."
Nie Zefeng, who was passionate, made a promise to Fa Zheng immediately.
Fa Zheng did not expect Nie Zefeng to be so happy. Not only did he not teach him any hypocritical principles such as "being tolerant" and "being broad-minded" but he also admired his "focus on".
"People say that Nie Zefeng is a true hero who is willing to revenge. Today, it seems that he is indeed well-known. It seems that I, Fa Zheng, did not see the wrong person this time..."
Moved, Fa Zheng did not say too much thanks, but just laughed.
Nie Zefeng also laughed loudly, and the wantonly laughter echoed in the night. He rode a horse up the mountain to inform him that the Shu army in Baidi City had quietly left the city and was coming towards the direction of the camp.
The sound of atrocities subsided, Nie Zefeng stood up and looked down at the camp at the foot of the mountain, with a terrifying murderous intent flowing in his eyes.
Standing with his hands behind his back, Nie Zefeng waved his hand and shouted, "Since Huang Quan has fallen into the trap, he will pass on the order and order the troops to act according to the plan."
