Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Page 259

"Governor, although this son is young, he seems too rebellious just like his father." Han Dang leaned over and whispered.

Lu Meng was not angry but happy when he heard that, arrogant young people are easily impulsive, if Guan Xing can be driven out of the city and captured, wouldn't Jiangling City be within easy reach?

Thinking of this, Lu Meng whispered in Han Dang's ear.

Han Dang showed an incredulous expression after hearing this, "Is this... is this appropriate? The other party is just a child..."

"You don't have to feel guilty about the old general. If you want to blame him, blame him for being Guan Yu's son." Lu Meng's eyes were firm and sly.

Han Dang swallowed his saliva, straddled his horse and took two steps forward, pointed at Guan Xing on the wall and yelled, "It turns out that he is the son of Guan Yu who is not worthy of the name, because the general was not there back then, what warmed the wine and killed Hua Xiong, what How could it be Guan Yu's turn to win in the Sanying battle against Lu Bu? If Yan Liang had replaced me, he would have cut off Guan Yu's dog's head long ago, why are you so arrogant in front of this old man?"

"Old man, how dare you bark?"

No one had ever questioned Guan Yu's martial arts. Seeing Han Dang's slander, Guan Xing burst into anger directly on top of his head.

Han Dang was also helpless, and Lu Meng asked him to deliberately belittle Guan Yu, so as to arouse the young and irritable Guan Xing.

"The old man said that I cut Guan Yu like killing a dog. As for your dog, I can kill it with one hand. Do you dare to go out of the city and try?" Han Dang raised his sword provocatively.

"Old man, you wait for me."

Guan Xing turned his head and walked down the city, but bumped into someone at the corner of the stairs.

"An Guo, you are not on duty in the city, where are you going in such a panic?" Lan Ji looked puzzled.

Guan Xing gritted his teeth and replied, "There is an old thief outside the city who insulted my father, so I will go out of the city and kill him."

"Will there be fraud?" Lan Ji asked.

Guan Xingzhi shook his head: "There is only a small group of people outside the city, and they may have come to find out the truth."

"You'd better go to the city to guard, and I'll go out to vent my anger on my uncle." Lan Ji pulled him back.

"But..." Guan Xing hesitated.

"It's nothing but, don't forget that I'm a military commander, you don't have any military position yet, just obey orders, besides, my horse is faster." Lan Ji's eyes were firm.

"Okay." Guan Xing sighed and turned to go upstairs.

Chapter 572 Lan Ji Formation Slays Han Yigong

Seeing Guan Xing leaving the city, Lu Meng was secretly delighted, thinking that if he can't bully the old one, he can't capture the young one?But it didn't take long for Guan Xing to appear again.

"This little bastard didn't fall for the trick? Old General Han, do you want to provoke him?" Lu Meng's face collapsed.

"Uh... the final general obeys orders." Han Dang led his horse forward again, pointed at Guan Xing on the city and sneered, "I thought the little general was a bit bloody, but it seems that he is much worse than Guan Yu. Are you scared out of your wits?"

"As an old man, Han, you don't have to shout loudly in the city. Want to fight with me? First beat my younger brother." Guan Xing also calmed down now, probably seeing clearly that the other party was trying to provoke him.

Han Dang returned to Lu Meng with a puzzled expression on his face, "This kid is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he asked me to compare with his brother first, so I am too bullying the younger?"

"According to the information I got, Guan Yu only has two sons and one daughter. Could it be that Guan Xing's younger brother was adopted by Guan Yu?" Lu Meng frowned.

At this moment, Lu Meng's followers pointed at the gate of the city and exclaimed, "Look, Commander, an army has come out."

"It should be the brother Guan Xing said, ordering all the soldiers to line up and build up momentum for Old General Han." Lu Meng hurriedly ordered.

"Wei." The follower cupped his fists and immediately went to command.

Han Dang was a little displeased, thinking that beating a child would be like this?He saw the blue characters on the flag in the distance, and immediately asked: "Blue? This surname is not common."

Lu Meng exclaimed: "Could it be that Lantian?"

"This person must be related to him. Huang Gongfu fell into Lan Tian's hands, and Cheng Gong died because of this. Meeting his relatives is really an enemy meeting." Han Dang clenched the knife in his hand even tighter.

When the small group of people in the city approached, Han Dang and Lu Meng saw each other's heroic attire.

Looking at his dark skin, he couldn't hide his handsome features. He had a silver and purple gold crown on his head, tied his jet-black hair, and wore a red velvet bayberry blanket; Lined with a white satin battle robe, a corseted lion belt around his waist, and buckskin cirrus boots on his feet; the red war horse under his crotch is like a fire, holding a Canglongbajun halberd in his hand, and a sword and a pouch hang from his left waist. There is a carved bow in the bag, and a pot of white plume arrows hangs on the right side, which makes everyone applaud secretly.

"Lu Bu?" Han Dang was so dazed that he couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Who?" Lu Meng asked.

Han Dang shook his head hastily, he was the only general left alone among the generals who followed Sun Jian to challenge Dong Zhuo and had seen Lu Bu's demeanor, even if he said it now, Lu Meng could not understand the oppressive feeling of Marquis Wen.

"Which thief was spouting dung just now?" Lan Ji shouted loudly holding a halberd in the shadow of banners and flags.

Lan Ji's attire looked like a boy from a rich family, which aroused the envy and hatred of this group of Jiangdong people. Hearing that this guy was still so arrogant, he thought that he would not know who would get it for a while.

Han Dang rode out with a horizontal knife, looked up and down and asked: "It seems that you are from a rich family, and you dare to be so crazy in front of the old man. Since there is a blue word on the flag, what is your relationship with that Lantian?"

Although Lan Ji's attire is very eye-catching, but after all, he is only 12 years old. At this time, his height is only more than seven feet, and his voice is also a little immature. The horse that sits on the red rabbit is not as good as an adult red rabbit. It's so majestic, but it complements Lan Ji perfectly.

Although Han Dang and Cheng Pu are both from Youzhou, his height is only seven feet or more, but he is much wider than Lan Ji's horizontally, and his arms and thighs are twice as thick as Lan Ji's.

"Since I know my father, it's still too late to surrender." Lan Ji said playfully.

Han Dang was shocked when he heard that, he thought the boy in front of him was a relative of Lan Tian, ​​but he didn't expect it to be his own son.

"Are you Lanyuan or Lanji?" Lu Meng asked behind Han Dang.

According to the information obtained from Sun Quan, Lan Yuan is 14 years old this year, and Lan Ji is only 12 years old. Are they going to die on the battlefield?

"Put your ears up and listen. I'm Lan Ji. Don't all Jiangdong rats know how to be polite?" Lan Ji frowned, mocking Lu Meng for rushing to talk.

"This guy is only 12 years old." Lu Meng quickly reminded.

Han Dang turned his head with an incredulous expression, wondering if it was too cheap to fight with a child?

"Which one of you was spraying dung just now? Why don't you get out and die? You can't hide from it." Lan Ji urged sharply.

"Old General Han, this kid is so rampant, there is no need to show mercy." Lu Meng said in a deep voice.

Han Dang was furious. He didn't know whether he was hating Lan Ji or complaining about Lu Meng. He grabbed the rein with one hand and pressed the handle of the knife with the other.

"Did you come here to beg for death before your baby teeth have retreated and your saliva has not grown enough? But since you are the son of Lantian, the 12-year-old old man also took the head. He used to kill my companion Huang Gongfu. Today I will kill his son to sacrifice the flag."

After Han Dang slapped his horse and danced his sword, Lan Ji rushed forward, his mouth full of disdain: "Want to avenge Huang Gai? It depends on whether you have the weight."

Lan Ji sat down on the red horse very fast. When the two sides confronted each other, Han Dang raised his saber and slashed, but he didn't expect Lan Ji to come so fast.

There was a sound of weapons colliding.

With a light pick of the Canglong Pojun halberd, Lan Ji pulled Han Dang's saber aside. At the end of the half round, Han Dang's vest was covered with sweat. It was hard for him to believe that a 12-year-old boy was so powerful.

There must be something weird about that horse, Han Dang kept convincing himself like this, he deliberately slowed down when he reined in the horse and was about to charge back, this time he planned to strike later.

While Lan Ji was running with a long halberd, the weapon spun around above his head, and then he slashed towards the opponent with all his strength. Han Dang was able to see clearly behind him.

After a round of probing, Han Dang found that Lan Ji was proficient in using the halberd technique, and his strength had already far surpassed that of his peers. When he reached adulthood or prime age, he might really be as strong as Lu Bu.

It was too late to lament that the waves behind the Yangtze River pushed the waves ahead, Lan Ji fought fiercely with Han Dang again, fighting with swords and long halberds in the air, and the soldiers on both sides forgot to applaud.

After about ten rounds, Lan Ji had figured out all of Han Dang's moves.

During the last run, the Canglong Pojun Halberd was dragged backwards by the horse, and the sharp point was hidden in the sand and pulled out a white light, galloping along with the horse like a magic trick.

The moment the two horses approached, Lan Ji held the Canglong Pojun halberd with one hand, and covered it more than 180 degrees forward.

Under the pressure of this surging force, Han Dang's hands holding the hilt of the knife were shattered. Just when he wanted to lament his old age, a cold light suddenly appeared in the reflection of the armor on his chest.

bang.

Canglong broke the army's halberd vigorously, piercing Han Dang's solid armor like a unicorn, Lan Ji used his strength to provoke Han Dang and threw it diagonally forward with the halberd.

A burst of slashing resulted in the last veteran of the Sun Jian era.

Han Dang's body fell and splashed yellow sand, and the 64-year-old veteran died in Jiangling. The surrounding soldiers were all in an uproar.

Chapter 573 The People Demolish Their Homes and Guard Jiangling

Han Dang was killed by a 12-year-old boy in the fifteenth round. The Jiangdong soldiers who watched couldn't believe their eyes. Only Lu Meng swallowed his saliva after seeing it, and quickly turned his horse's head: "Drive! Drive! Drive!"

At this time, there were only a few dozen soldiers around Lu Meng, and Han Dang, who was the best fighter, died so quickly, so he immediately made the decision to run away.

The wind changed direction like a landslide.

The slow-response soldiers had already been picked off by Lan Ji's halberd, and the rest of the hated parents lost two legs, and the whips in their hands frantically whipped the horse's buttocks.

Lan Ji led the young soldiers to charge for a while, and returned to Jiangling with the others after not chasing very far. If Lan Ji killed the captive soldiers before, he left a deep impression on these young people. The killing of the Jiangdong general just now was even more impressive, with prestige and trust. Take root in the hearts of teenagers.

As soon as the west gate of Jiangling was closed, Guan Xing came down from the top of the city to congratulate him in person.

"Zhongling, you are really good, why didn't you chase after him just now?" Guan Xing asked, patting Lan Ji on the shoulder.

Lan Ji shook his head and replied: "There are tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers outside the city. I am worried that something will happen if we chase them far away. In addition to the rumors in the arrow book last time, the people in the city are now fluctuating. There must be enough soldiers and horses in the city. Even if you win the battle, you can't leave the city easily."

"Jiangdong's words are so hypnotic. It's a pity that everyone has read the Yangtze River News a lot these years. They all know what Sun Quan is like. How could anyone believe what the old man said? But it would be nice to kill that old man." Guan Xing said happily.

"Old man, mad dog barking day, actually doesn't have much skill, if I don't want to accumulate some battle experience, I can kill him in ten rounds." Lan Ji looked a little proud.

Guan Xing smiled and said: "I know you are great, but the second child is not bad, like my father, you Zhongling, and myself..."

"It's really you." Lan Ji shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Zhongling just beheaded the enemy general, do you think the Jiangdong rats will retaliate?" Guan Xing asked.

"I think it should. We'll work hard to defend the city these days, and we have to keep a close eye on those captives, otherwise we'll never be able to recover if they really mutiny." Lan Ji reminded.

Guan Xing nodded, "Never mind, I will pay attention to it. Everywhere respects force. Just now, Zhongling's performance is enough to calm them down. I will send someone to report the victory to the general. Do you want to arrange a celebration banquet?" ?”

"Don't mess around, let's talk about repelling Lu Meng." Lan Ji frowned.

"Hahaha, I'm joking with you." Guan Xing left with a smile.

After Lu Meng fled back to the camp, he couldn't calm down for a long time. Thinking of the bold words in Jiangxia, his face felt hot. The rest of the journey should be smooth, right?Why did I fight so hard all the way?Jiangling broke Han Dang before it was broken.

As long as Jiangling can be defeated, and then cooperate with Pan Zhang and Zhu Ran to capture and kill Guan Yu, all sacrifices will be worthwhile. Lu Meng stood up and became firm again before he stood up.

Zhou Yu couldn't defeat Xiangyang back then, so why can't I, Lu Meng, defeat Jiangling?Only ten days have passed, and I can definitely change my fate against the sky.

Lu Meng is like a salesman hypnotizing himself in front of a mirror. He keeps looking for reasons to motivate and encourage himself, and finally the mood of worrying about gains and losses is occupied by firmness.

"When it's completely dark outside, find someone to bring back the body of Old General Han." Lu Meng called to follow his instructions. After he escaped from Ximen in the afternoon, he strictly ordered the survivors not to reveal what happened just now, and used the excuse of Han Dang He was sent to seize Yidu.

"It's not easy to hide the old general's body. If he stays in the camp, he will be found sooner or later. How about sending a boat back to Jianye for burial?" I suggested.

Lu Meng frowned and shook his head, "I'll bury it near the camp later, sending it back to Jiangdong will only increase the sadness of the Lord..."

"Wei." He answered with clasped fists, but did not leave immediately.

Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Lu Meng asked suspiciously, "Is there anything else?"

"Uh...it's about General Fu's persuasion to surrender..." Qin Sui hesitated to speak.

"It's an incompetent person. I just heard about it. I have decided to continue the attack from tomorrow. After I break the city, I will naturally skin Xiang Xun and Lan Ji." Lu Meng showed a gloomy expression.

"Xiang Xun once gave advice to General Fu..."

"Suggest what?"

"Assassinate the general, and pay for the crime..."

Lu Meng snorted coldly: "Just him? He doesn't have the guts, I'm sure of him."

Han Dang's body was carried back to the camp in secret, and Lu Mengtu buried him in the southwest corner of the camp for convenience. Although their actions were very secretive, their whereabouts were already known by those who cared. Looking around, he found Lu Meng's sneaky followers.

If you don't sleep at night, what tricks is Lu Meng doing?Fu Shiren didn't dare to follow, and planned to find out when he had time.

Determined to attack by force, in the following time, Jiangdong soldiers attacked the city one after another. In order to seize the city as soon as possible, Lu Meng urged the army to bite the enemy like a mad dog regardless of the cost.

Lu Meng suddenly changed his style of play, which made the defender Xiang Xun very painful, and the number of downsizing in the war continued to increase. In order to consolidate the hard-won situation, Xiang Xun asked Lan Ji for prisoners to help defend the city.

The defenders of Jiangling City were very tenacious. Although they kept repelling Jiangdong's attack, the price was the rapid consumption of military supplies.

The second round of onslaught outside the city lasted for seven or eight days. At that time, the reserves of feather arrows in the city were used up. Because the city gate blocked the raw materials, the idle military workshops in the city stopped manufacturing passively, and the stones and rolling logs that could be transported were also available. This period was exhausted, and the soldiers lost their condescending advantage just by repelling the enemy with white blades.

Lu Meng's attack regardless of losses, the price he paid was the lives of the soldiers. They frantically piled up people on the city wall, and more than ten thousand Jiangdong children died under the city wall. The fierce battle turned them into humble dust.

The smashed corpses were bloody and bloody, and the top of the city was poured with gold juice from time to time, and the lit torches and wood became weapons to repel the enemy. These unknown people who died in battle did not even have an independent burial ground.

Both inside and outside Jiangling City have reached a critical moment. Xiang Xun, on behalf of the Xiang family in Jingzhou, has reached a consensus with the Ma family represented by Ma Liang, the head of the Yangtze River News.

Two Jingzhou clans took the initiative to demolish the house, and then took bricks, stones and wood from the ruins of the house to use as military supplies. Seeing this, the people were deeply moved, and they all donated materials to fight against foreign enemies.

Lu Meng's continuous strong attack had already seen the hope of breaking the city, but the sudden rebound made him doubt his life.

One midnight, the soldiers in the camp were already asleep because of exhaustion, but Lu Meng was staring at the curtain of the tent because of his worries. Suddenly he saw a black shadow running past under the moonlight outside the curtain.

There are assassins?Lu Meng reached out to grab the saber in his hand, and then followed out secretly.
