In the early morning of the next day, while Feng Yong was still sleeping in the room, he heard someone banging on the door, and at the same time, Zhao Guang's voice sounded outside the door.
"Brother, open the door! Something big has happened!"
"Don't drive, get out!"
Feng Yong turned over and cursed.
Then came Li Yi's voice again, "Brother, something big has happened."
"If you don't believe it, get out!"
Haha, you two bastards have made me lose face, completely lose face.
You still want to trick me into opening the door!
I have completely despaired of so-called brotherhood.
After I came back yesterday, I once asked rudely why they shouted the slogan "The Ghost King is coming" when charging. Unexpectedly, everyone hesitated and refused to say anything.
In the end, it was Yang Wanwan who revealed the truth because he had only joined the gang for a short period of time, and because of Boss Feng's power.
What's more, Feng Yong feels so ashamed and angry when he thinks of how happy, excited, and passionate he was when he followed everyone shouting "The Ghost King is coming" yesterday.
It's all their fault! It's all their fault!
I won't go out today even if I die.
You have lost all your face, how can you have the dignity to go out?
At the same time, Feng Yong is also regretting, why the hell do I have to be so mean-mouthed?
How nice would it be to keep me in the dark and know nothing?
"Brother, Meng Huo has withdrawn his troops..."
"He quit yesterday."
Feng Yong replied angrily.
"No, all the troops have withdrawn. Now the camp opposite is empty."
"What!"
When Feng Yong heard this, was it okay?
He quickly got up, threw on a piece of clothing, opened the door and asked, "Meng Huo has evacuated with his men?"
"gone!"
Zhao Guang looked happy, "My younger brother got up early this morning and went to inspect the city. He found that something was not right on the other side. Not even a smoke was rising, so he took someone to investigate. Unexpectedly, he found that there was no one there. ”
"Why did you leave suddenly?"
Feng Yong asked in disbelief, "Are you waiting for us to relax our vigilance and then come back to fight?"
"It doesn't look like it," Zhao Guang shook his head and said, "The abandoned camp is in chaos. It seems that it was evacuated in a hurry last night. General Wang has sent people to chase and investigate. Even if he comes back, he won't be able to occupy it. Cheap."
"They did evacuate. They must have been scared away by the thunder."
Several people were talking when a harsh Chinese voice suddenly interrupted.
Xun Sheng looked around and saw a tall Yi general with sunken eyes walking over.
"General Huo Aji, what did you just say? What kind of thunder?"
Feng Yong quickly greeted him and then asked.
This Yi general's Yi name is Tuo Azhe, and his Han name is Huo Aji. He is the leader of the Yi tribe in Pingyi County. His tribe has had contacts with the Han people all year round. I heard that he himself even brought local products from the mountains to the country. Jincheng changed the brocade cloth.
Huo Aji is to Pingyi County, just like Meng Huo is to Yizhou County.
During the Nanzhong rebellion, it was his efforts to persuade the barbarians near Pingyi County not to participate, so Li Hui was able to hold Pingyi County so easily and dashed the rebels' hopes of moving north.
Later, when the Han Prime Minister led his troops southward, Huo Aji personally went to Zhuge Liang's camp to pay homage, and also presented cattle, horses, gold and silver and other items.
At the same time, he followed Zhuge Liang's instructions and ordered his tribe to help transport grain.
Ma Zhong was able to quickly pacify Ke County with the help of this man's tribe.
Now he personally led the warriors of his clan who were good at fighting, followed Li Hui southward, and bravely took the lead along the way, breaking through dozens of barbarian hilltop villages.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the sun and the moon can serve as a reflection of his support for the Han Dynasty, and that the heaven and earth can illuminate the world.
He can be regarded as an extremely rare loyal and brave man.
Feng Yong heard Wang Ping introduce this person's deeds yesterday and immediately respected him.
That is to say, Huo Aji's tribe cannot compare with Meng Huo, and its influence is only in Pingyi County. If his influence could be extended to a county, how could Meng Huo still be mentioned in the legends of later generations?
It's just that General Huo Aji, who was respected by Feng Yong, now has complicated eyes, and even looks at Feng Tubiao with a little awe.
"I found this on the commander's platform in Menghuo Camp."
As he spoke, he handed over something.
"What is this? Bamboo?"
Feng Yong took it and looked at it carefully.
I saw that this piece of bamboo was quite thick, at least as thick as an arm.
There were burnt marks on one end, while the other end was green and green. It was obvious that it had just been cut down and burned as firewood. I don’t know who would do such a brainless thing.
"I found this from the high platform in Meng Huo's commander's camp. There were many bamboo poles erected on it. This is the one that was struck by thunder."
Huo Aji said in a gloomy tone, "Yesterday when I was standing on the city wall, I saw a thunderbolt hit the commander's flag on the high platform of Meng Huo's commander's camp. Meng Huo was still standing below. It's a pity that the commander's flag did not fall down, otherwise it would have You can take the opportunity to kill him."
"Damn it! He was so lucky, how come he wasn't killed by thunder?"
Feng Yong asked blurtly.
This is really nice to hear.
You can't stand under a tree when there's thunder. Premier Zhou told me this long ago when I was a kid.
This is not bragging.
In the first grade of elementary school, he memorized a text called "Sending a Raincoat."
There is a sentence in it that he knows well by heart: The Prime Minister asked me to tell you, don’t stand under the tree when it thunders and rains.
As for why I memorize it so well, the reason is very simple. When I was a child, there were two people in the village standing under a tree to hide from the rain when it thundered and rained. Then a thunder struck directly. One died and the other became a vegetative state.
There was a cow next to him, but he was fine...
That matter has been a hot topic in the village for several years.
At that time, everyone in the village was enthusiastic. Afterwards, every household in the village, those with money contributed money, and those without money came to the door with bacon strips to comfort them, just to help their families survive.
When someone meets someone on the street, the first thing they ask is "Have you eaten?"
But in those years, when people in the village met that family when they went out, they would say hello like this: "Are xxx awake?"
The greetings are different from others.
As for the one who died by Lei Piao, Feng Yong didn't have much impression.
Since that incident, people in the village have to run to their houses as soon as they see dark clouds, and no one dares to hide outside from the rain.
What's more, Meng Huo still stood on a high platform, holding a freshly cut bamboo as a lightning rod...
If you use a tall bamboo as a lightning rod, who will you strike if you don't strike?
If he didn't die from thunderbolt, he was already lucky.
"Yeah, the thunder is a little crooked."
Anyway, Huo Aji didn't know what kind of mood he was talking about at this time, it was a very complicated one.
"Feng Langjun, do you know what is going on?"
Yesterday he saw clearly that the enemy on the opposite side was scared away by the Ghost King.
When Feng Yong asked Zhao Guang to lead the troops to attack, and everyone was shouting "Ghost King", Meng Huo was suddenly struck by thunder, and then the opponent inexplicably called for gold to withdraw his troops.
As the leader of the tribe, Huo Aji should not believe in the ghost king legend so easily.
Even if everyone agrees and three people become tigers, the most he can do is to stay away from Feng Yong.
But I can’t help but seeing is believing!
This made Huo Aji murmur in his heart, could this Feng Langjun really be blessed by ghosts and gods?
More importantly, from his tone yesterday, it seemed that he could even subdue the life-seeking ghosts that were ravaging Nanzhong?
Life-seeking ghosts have always been the most terrifying existence in Nanzhong. Even the most powerful witch doctor in Nanzhong can't do anything to them.
If the young man in front of him really has any idea, then he is most likely the reincarnation of the Ghost King.
Because only the Ghost King can subdue this life-threatening ghost.
The theory of ghosts and gods was already popular in the Han Dynasty, but such a coincidence cast an even more mysterious color on the legend.
At least in Huo Aji's eyes, Feng Yong has gained an extra layer of mystery.
Huo Aji secretly made a note of this matter in his mind, thinking that he would inquire more about it in the future. If Feng Langjun could really subdue the life-threatening ghost on Guan Junhou, then even if he was not a ghost king, he would probably be close to it.
"Of course I know what's going on."
Feng Yong chuckled and said casually.
Who told you not to listen to Grandpa Zhou? You deserve to be thundered!
Unexpectedly, when Huo Aji heard this, he thought that Feng Tubiao was admitting in disguise that the Tianlei incident was related to him. His eyes couldn't help but change, and he felt a little afraid in his heart.
As for the reason why Meng Huo withdrew his troops overnight...
Only Meng Huo knew that it was not because of the legend of the Ghost King or because he was struck by thunder. At least that was not the whole reason.
Another bigger reason is that there is news from behind.
This news made him tremble even more than the thunderbolt that almost hit him yesterday: Meng Yan was defeated.
The tribes that besieged Dianchi Lake were scattered and surrendered, and they were no longer as grand as before.
Li Hui, on the other hand, defeated the army besieging Dian Lake and gained great momentum. All the counties in Yizhou surrendered without a fight just by hearing his name.
Wei County was in a hurry and could not attack. Li Hui's force in the rear was already strong. Just overnight, the offensive and defensive positions had changed, and he was already in a dangerous position where he might be attacked from both front and rear.
If we don't find a way out of this predicament quickly, will we be caught between Wei County and Dian Lake and wait for death?
"Your Majesty, the morale of Li Hui's army is high at Dian Lake. If the army rushes too fast and the soldiers are tired and rushes there in a hurry, I'm afraid Li Hui will take advantage of it."
After retreating for nearly a hundred miles in panic, Meng Huo was sure that the Han army in Wei County could not catch up. Meng Huo ordered the army to stop and rest. Only then did Eshun have the opportunity to step forward and persuade him.
"We are not going back to Dian Lake, we are going to Ye Yushui."
Meng Huo shook his head, with fear hidden in his eyes, but he hid it well and didn't let anyone notice.
"Why doesn't your Majesty return to Dianchi Lake?"
Eshun was shocked. After receiving the news from Dianchi Lake, the king ordered his troops to retreat south on the spot and traveled all night. He thought he was going back to Dianchi Lake to take charge of the overall situation. Unexpectedly, the king did not even think about returning to Dianchi Lake, but wanted to bypass Dianchi Lake. Deleaf elm water.
"Dianchi Lake is a city of the Han people, and Li Hui is a prominent family member in Yizhou County. He has ruled Nanzhong for a long time, and his reputation in Yizhou County is no less than mine."
"Now that he has captured Dian Lake, he has defeated all the tribes that besieged Dian Lake, and his momentum has increased. Even if I lead my army back to Dian Lake, I will not be able to compete with him."
"If the stalemate lasts for a long time and Zhuge Liang catches up with us, I'm afraid we will be like fish in the net and have nowhere to run, so we have no choice but to go to Dianchi Lake. There are almost no Han people at Ye Yushui, and all the tribes in the mountains and forests are obeying orders. To me."
"If we go there, we can not only reorganize our troops, but also supply military supplies. In addition, the terrain is difficult and the river is always filled with miasma, making it difficult for the Han army to get through. We can recuperate there and wait for the opportunity."
Eshun was now his number one general. The army was defeated in Pingyi City, and he was the only one who vigorously prevented the defeated army from dispersing, so Meng Huo did not hide much from him.
There was another reason for not going to Dianchi Lake, which Meng Huo didn't dare to say out loud. That was because yesterday's thunder had cast a shadow on his heart, which made him wonder: Could it be that he was really wrong to lead his people to fight against the Han? of?
It was agreed that everyone should work together to fight against the Han and occupy Nanzhong to watch the changes in the world?
Since Zhuge Liang led his troops south, he has either been rushing north or running south.
This group of people was walking on the road without doing anything. Why, suddenly, inexplicably, the four people in Nanzhong were the only one left, and now they were still in panic and danger.
What the hell...
When Meng Huo thought about it at this time, he felt really unwilling to do so, but he wanted to cry but had no tears, and he was so depressed that he was dying.
But God also issued a warning yesterday, and he was confused as to "Who am I and what am I doing?"
"What about the troops on the other side of Dian Lake?"
Eshun didn't know what Meng Huo was thinking, but after hearing Meng Huo's words, he felt that they made sense, but he was a little worried about the various tribes on the other side of Dian Lake.
You can't even protect yourself, so why bother taking care of them?
Meng Huo cursed in his heart, but said perfunctorily, "We will tell them to follow us after we have bypassed Dian Lake."
In the following days, Meng Huo led his army to march day and night, but he did not even notify the barbarian tribes in Dianchi Lake to join him.
Because in his real plan, the tribes who stayed in Dianchi Lake were to delay Li Hui's stay for as long as possible. It would be best if Zhuge Liang was also attracted to Dianchi Lake so that he could have more time. Come run away.
And in his heart, he kept muttering: Where are the troops led by Zhuge Liang now?
"Brother, I'm here!"
"Brother, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Meng Huo didn't wait for Zhuge Liang, but he met someone on the way who made him very angry.
Meng Yan and his close relatives of the Meng family were directly waiting for Meng Huo's army at the front when Meng Huo had just bypassed Dianchi County.
He entered Meng Huo's camp alone. When he saw Meng Huo, he immediately knelt down, hugged Meng Huo's thigh and shouted loudly.
I'm waiting for your grandma!
When Meng Huo saw Meng Yan, he really wanted to kill the humanoid animal in front of him with a knife.
First he lost Wei County, then Dianchi Lake, and finally gave almost all the tribes in Yizhou County that besieged Dianchi Lake to Li Hui. How could he return the Meng family's tiger?
Thank you, my mother-in-law!
It's just that now I am like a lost dog, and many of the people in the army I lead are from Yongsuo tribe. It is the time when the help of the Meng family is urgently needed.
For the sake of bringing out all the close relatives of the Meng family, Meng Huo finally comforted him and said, "It's okay. Get up quickly and tell me in detail. Isn't this Li Hui trapped in Dian Lake?" ? Why did he rush out suddenly? "
"Brother, those Han people are so cunning!"
After Meng Yan heard this, he cried even harder, "We originally surrounded the Han people well. We were about to run out of food and grass in the city. Unexpectedly, Li Hui sent people out of the city to say that he was ready to surrender to us and fight with us. Conspiracy to do great things.”
"You believe it?"
Meng Huo asked through gritted teeth.
Meng Yan cowered and did not dare to look at Meng Huo. He lowered his head and said in shame, "Li Hui also said that most of the soldiers he led were from Yizhou County. Yizhou County had been in chaos for so long, and it was difficult for the soldiers he led to Only then can I come back, so..."
"So most of the soldiers are unwilling to go back to the north, and just want to stay in their hometown. I think what he said is quite reasonable. In addition, seeing that he has finished his food and grass, he must not be able to stir up trouble. So I ordered the people below People are ready to surrender..."
"Who would have thought that the people below would have relaxed their guard because of this. Li Hui took the opportunity to send people to rush out. The tribes were unprepared, and there was chaos all of a sudden."
"At first, I thought about stepping forward to block them, but I didn't know that the Han general who took the lead claimed to be Liu Yin from Shu County. He was extremely brave. Those tribes were only trying to escape for their lives. It was difficult for me to support them alone."
As Meng Yan spoke, he stretched out his left arm, only to see that it was wrapped in white cloth, with faint traces of blood seeping out of it, "The general injured me. Seeing that I was unable to do anything, I gathered our men from the Meng family and prepared to move forward. Look for you."
"Then I heard that the people you sent here asked me to bring people to wait here, so I hurriedly brought people over."
After hearing what Meng Yan said, Meng Huo's eyes widened angrily and he wished he could eat Li Hui. He immediately said repeatedly, "Traitor! What a traitor!"
"Then Li Hui...that Li Hui is considered a prominent family member in Yizhou County, but what he said in public did not count! The Han people are really cunning!"
Seeing that Meng Yan was injured, Meng Huo only said that he had tried his best, but he also hated the loss of Dianchi Lake, so he had to focus on Li Hui's character.
