Chapter 51: Beacon Flames
"A tragic song is half-lived, and the ambition has not been fulfilled. The bones are cold. I think of Hanzhong for thousands of miles, and the majestic domineering power shakes Qinchuan! The continuous trickling of the Mian River, the rumbling Longshan Mountain is so continuous. But complaining about the late Lord Zhuge Si has become an eternity.",
Wei Yan has been a natural commander and general since ancient times. However, Zhuge Kongming knew that Wei Yan was difficult to control, so he was unsuccessful throughout his life, and finally ended up being killed by his own people. Whenever he read this, Nie Zefeng felt aggrieved by Wei Yan, so today
Nie Zefeng decided to let Wei Yan show his ambition.
The rolling Han River flows quietly into the Yangtze River. At the intersection of the Han River and the Yangtze River, it has begun to become lush and lush. The scenery on both sides of the bank is like a picture scroll, so beautiful...
"General, Jiangling is bordered by the Yangtze River to the south and the Han River to the north. Liu Biao has built many beacon towers along the Yangtze River. Once the police are alerted, they will send messages with smoke and smoke. We have no way of starting."
Wei Yan stood on the bank of the Yangtze River, looking at Jiangling City and the beacon towers on the other side, and said: "Brothers, we can't bleed any more. We have already left too much blood under Xiangyang City."
Everyone was heading towards the closely connected beacon towers, but they were at a loss to do anything.
In the end, Wei Yan could only sigh and said helplessly: "Go back, let's discuss countermeasures when we go back."
After Wei Yan's army set off, Nie Zefeng remembered that Jiangling City had dozens of beacon towers since ancient times. These beacon towers could not be captured without a bloody battle. However, he remembered the Three Kingdoms record many years later, "Lü Meng crossed the river in white." He was busy.
A letter was sent to Wei Yan's army on flying horses. The next day, after Wei Yan arrived in Jiangling, the messenger sent by Nie Zefeng had already arrived in front of the army.
On this day, Wei Yan and his generals were still discussing how to break these beacon towers. At this time, a soldier came in and reported that the marshal had sent a messenger waiting outside the tent. Wei Yan did not dare to neglect and immediately handed over the letter, and the messenger immediately turned around and left.
, Although Wei Yan repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, the messenger insisted on leaving, so Wei Yan no longer tried to persuade him to stay.
Wei Yan hurriedly opened the letter and burst into laughter after reading it.
"Wonderful plan, wonderful plan, the marshal is still clever!"
A captain went up and asked: "General, what is it that makes you so excited?"
"Don't you know something, Lieutenant Dongcheng? The marshal has already found a clever plan for me to break through the beacon tower."
"Congratulations, general, congratulations, general."
Wei Yan immediately sent an order: "Lieutenant of Xicheng, please change your people into civilian clothes and go to other places to purchase some medicine, iron products, and wood for me. The more the better."
"yes."
"Captain Beicheng, you stay here, and everyone else can prepare on their own."
"yes."
Wei Yan left the Beicheng captain alone and told him to disguise himself as a merchant, saying that he had a large amount of medicinal materials, iron powder, wood and other supplies urgently needed for the war, and then bribe their generals generously, so that he would be able to seize Jiangling in one fell swoop. "
The Beicheng captain also went down to prepare.
As an aside, since Wei Yan was born as a gatekeeper, the generals of the troops he commanded were also named Dongcheng Xiaowei, Xicheng Xiaowei, Nancheng Xiaowei, and Beicheng Xiaowei. The four major captains constituted Wei Yan's subordinate generals.
After Wei Yan finished his instructions, he walked out of the camp alone and wanted to see his brothers. How are they doing recently?
