Chapter 773: Coming to the West as a Xiao
It is said that Zhang Liao desperately saved Cao Xing's life, fled all the way, and finally reached the bank of the turbid Yellow River. Thinking of their children, relatives and brothers and generals who were trapped in Chenliu, both of them felt sad, and Zhang Liao felt even more regretful.
Zhang Liao originally intended to surrender to Cao Cao, but who knew that history had played a big joke on him? Because of Chen Long's time travel, I'm afraid Zhang Liao would no longer be Cao Cao's general, and he would no longer be able to dominate Xiaoyaojin for Cao's army.
The two of them were staring at the Yellow River waterway at a loss when they suddenly saw a tall warship appearing in the water mist. A large green dragon head on the bow of the ship showed its teeth and claws. Then more and more ghostly warships appeared. From Zhang Liao and Cao Xing's eyes flashed. Cao Xing said in disbelief: "It's the Qinglong Navy!"
Zhang Liao had countless military parades, so he naturally knew that there were many Qinglong navy troops. Cao Xing tugged on Zhang Liao's sleeve and said: "Wenyuan, the Qinglong army is obviously deploying heavy troops. I'm afraid... only the Qinglong army can save them."
Zhang Liao naturally knew that what Cao Xing said was the only choice, and he couldn't help but feel confused. The thought of becoming a colleague with Lu Bu again, or even a superior-subordinate relationship, made Zhang Liao feel like vomiting. Looking back, he saw Cao Xing looking at him eagerly, biting his crown and nodding, saying: "If we can find General Lu, we may be able to convince the Lord of Qinglong to rescue our family members, and we may be able to advance in the future."
The two of them worked together, one behind the other, and followed the Qinglong Army's warship along the embankment of the Yellow River. At this moment, on the deck of the first large-scale warship of the Qinglong Army, Huang Gai was looking at the wind at the corner of the flag, standing proudly on the bow of the ship. Behind him was a handsome young man, who was the long-lost chief military officer of the Qinglong Army, Guo Jia.
Guo Jia looked at the embankments along the bank and said: "Since ancient times, this section of the Yellow River has been known as the 'Tianhe'. In order to prevent flooding, strong embankments were built. Even so, the Yellow River still often floods and causes disasters."
Huang Gai listened with great interest. He also knew the history quite well and said: "Before the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms, King Hui of Wei moved the capital to Daliang, which started the prosperity of Chenliu. After the Wei State moved the capital to Daliang, it diverted the water of the Yellow River into the fields. Ze, he also dug ditches and diverted farmland water into the Huaihe River. With the development of water conservancy, agriculture and commerce have greatly developed and become increasingly prosperous. He also built the Great Wall of Wei and united the princes. As the country's power grew, he was able to dominate all countries and make Daliang It became one of the prosperous and famous cities at that time. It was not until the Qin State war general Wang Bi blocked the Yellow River embankment, diverted the Yellow River water into the chasm, and submerged Daliang City, turning it into a swamp, and the city was destroyed and people died. "
Guo Jia also listened leisurely and fascinated. He gave Huang Gai a thumbs up and said: "The legion commander is indeed both civil and military, and he speaks as if he is personally on the scene. Although Wang Ben is powerful, his methods are unfortunately too ruthless. "
Huang Gai turned around with a smile and said, "So, the military advisor doesn't plan to flood Chen Liu?"
Huang Gai was joking. Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, a scream suddenly sounded in the air, followed by a loud snap. A cloud of powder exploded on the heavy wooden mainmast, and fine soil fell down one after another. The two chiefs looked at each other.
When the two of them were surprised, the surrounding guards had already picked up their shields to protect them. One of them pointed at the shore and said, "Commander, look!" Guo Jia and Huang Gai turned around and saw that on the embankment in the distance, Two ant-like figures were shouting there. It was obvious that they had thrown the clod of soil just now to attract their attention. Huang Gai murmured: "It's so far away, this man has such strong hands! It's rare to be so accurate!"
Guo Jia wondered: "This place is between Luoyang and Chen Liu. Who came to report the news? Is it sent by Zhou's military advisor? I'm afraid something is wrong with Chen Liu." He ordered someone to send the boat over and pull the two people on board. .
It was too late, but soon, the boat that picked up the people had returned in a moment, and the guards led the two people into Huang Gai's command cabin. The sun was shining brightly in the command cabin. Guo Jia and Huang Gai were sitting at the head. When the guard opened the door, Guo Jia recognized him and said happily: "Wen Yuan! It's really you!"
It turned out that the two people on the shore were Zhang Liao and Cao Xing who had been following them all the way. Zhang Liao personally took charge and chose the largest warship. It was also luck. Finally, he used clods of earth to attract the attention of Huang Gai and Guo Jia. Zhang Liao This hand strength made Cao Xing, who claimed to be unparalleled in bows and arrows, secretly admired.
After Zhang Liao got on the boat, he prostrated himself on the ground and couldn't help but shed heroic tears. Guo Jia quickly helped him up and said: "Wenyuan, why are your clothes so shabby? Chenliucheng is broken?" Chenliucheng is Guo Jia's biggest concern. If the city is broken, the Qinglong Army will have lost the opportunity to land in Guandu.
Zhang Liao couldn't help but nodded and begged: "Liao came here desperately, and I hope that Military Advisor Guo and General Huang will show sympathy." So he told the story of how the city was broken and captured, and naturally concealed the details of his original intention to surrender to Cao Cao. Cao Xing was not a fool, so he would not be stupid enough to expose Zhang Liao and just stay silent.
After hearing this, Guo Jia cried out regretfully: "My Qinglong Army's military advisor Zhou Buyi was harassed by Cao Zhang and was unable to contact Chen Liu in time, so he wrote to us to ask for help. The intention was to form an alliance with the general to fight against Cao. I didn't expect this. Cao Pi's army was so sharp that the general couldn't resist it for even a day."
After Zhang Liao heard this, he couldn't help but lower his head in shame. Guo Jia, a very transparent person, had already realized that there was something hidden in the story. He waved his hand and said, "Two generals, don't worry. Let me discuss this with Commander Huang Gongfu." , we will discuss it in detail after having a meal and a meal, we need to help the two rescue their relatives and followers."
The two kowtowed happily. When they got up, someone naturally guided them to wash up and change. Cao Xing suddenly turned around and knelt down and said, "Great military advisor, I am a rough man. I have always had a question in my mind. Can you tell me?"
Zhang Liao was startled, but Guo Jia smiled kindly and said, "General Cao, please speak." Cao Xing kowtowed again and said, "Where is General Lu of the army we merged with in the past?"
Zhang Liao's heart skipped a beat. In fact, he was most concerned about Lu Bu's whereabouts, but he didn't expect Cao Xing to ask for him. The color on Guo Jia's face did not change. He glanced at Zhang Liao and said, "As far as I know, General Lu has been recuperating in Yecheng. However, there have been frequent battle reports in the past few days, and it seems that after General Lu defeated Cao Zhang in the Battle of Juancheng, It’s missing, and even I don’t know the details.”
Guo Jia's eyes were looking at Zhang Liao intentionally or unintentionally. Zhang Liao was not good at pretending and quickly lowered his head. If Lu Bu is missing, will there still be obstacles for Zhang Liao to surrender to the Qinglong Army? Cao Xing turned around and left, and Zhang Liao quickly followed. His heart was like a war drum beating loudly, almost jumping out of his chest.
When Huang Gai saw the two men disappearing outside the command cabin, he finally stretched his body and said, "Military advisor! Chen Liu has been defeated. The warship is only 30 miles away from Guandu. What should we do?"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
