Chapter 51
When Wei Tong saw the enemy camp beginning to mobilize, he immediately realized that the identities of the three of them had been leaked. He marveled at Zhang Fei's shrewdness and also whispered to Song Ya and Song Xin.
He whipped the horse on the hindquarters, and the horse neighed and jumped to the camp gate. Seeing that someone was blocking the door, Wei Tong pulled out the short spear held down by the horse, raised his hand and threw it, stabbing him accurately.
An enemy commander.
Song Ya followed closely beside him, drew his sword and slashed left and right, killing two more soldiers who were blocking him.
Song Xin was protected by them in the middle, and he galloped with his horse. An enemy soldier saw that Song Xin was a young man, and while calling for help, he stabbed him with a long halberd.
However, Song Xin reacted quickly. He lowered his body and dodged the halberd. He unsheathed the sword in his hand and slashed across it. The speed of the war horse brought a sharp blade, and he cut off half of the soldier's head with his helmet on.
The sword given by Wei Tong, even if it is not filled with spiritual power, is still extremely sharp, like mud without iron!
This strike of the sword temporarily frightened the soldiers who were trying to stop him at the gate of the camp. Unexpectedly, this humble boy turned out to be the most terrifying one.
They stopped one after another and watched Wei Tong, Song Ya and Song Xin running out of the gate and walking around the antlers. They did not dare to come up to stop them, but just watched them go away.
Zhang Fei put on his helmet and came out. When he saw Song Xin and the others had gone away, he was so angry that his mouth was full of smoke. I don't know which soldier will be unlucky tonight.
"Chase! These people must be the enemy's secret envoys." Zhang Fei ordered. With the order, Zhang Fei and dozens of his soldiers galloped out, chasing Song Xin and the other three. At the same time, a warning sound was sounded in the camp.
The sound of the horn can be heard for miles.
On Jiangling City in the distance, many torches were lit up, and many people stretched their heads to check.
I saw three people and three horses galloping to the city. Wei Tong shouted: "I am the prime minister's special envoy. Open the door quickly and let me in."
Under the light of the torch at the top of the city, a team leader shouted: "I don't know your name, so I dare not open the door."
Wei Tong shouted: "Wei Ziming, the captain of Yingyang, open the door quickly so as not to miss the prime minister's important event." Since Cao Ren did not know about Wei Tong's promotion, Wei Tong still called himself by his old official title.
"Brother Ziming, is it you?" Suddenly a general on the top of the city poked his head and asked.
Wei Tong was anxious and shouted loudly: "General Zixiao, it is Wei Tong, open the city gate quickly, there are pursuers behind us!"
"Open the door quickly and release the suspension bridge." The man on the top of the city ordered.
The drawbridge was lowered, and the city gate creaked open a gap as wide as two people. Three people flew into the city on horseback, and then the drawbridge was raised.
Zhang Fei led his army to the city, but could only stop by the moat. Then Cao Ren ordered random arrows to be shot down. Zhang Fei raised his whip and swatted away a few flying arrows, stared angrily at the top of the city, clamped his horse's belly, turned and left.
"Huh, we finally came in." Song Xin and the others dismounted and lay down tiredly on the ground, breathing heavily. This night was thrilling. Song Xin also killed one person in desperation, and now his hands are still shaking slightly. A little later,
All three of them were probably captured alive by Zhang Fei.
It happened that Cao Ren was patrolling the city at this time and heard the movement and hurried to see, otherwise the team would most likely not dare to open the door to let them in.
"Why is this Zhang Fei smarter than I know? He figured it out in an instant!" Song Xin was still surprised that the Zhang Fei in this world was not at all the reckless character he knew.
He had been influenced by novels and novels in the past, and he had already

The ancients have become facial makeup.
Today is a lesson. From now on, we must abandon the preconceived ideas of the past. In any era, most of the people who can make history books are the best among people. The difference is only that the stage is different, but the reason why they can leave their names in history is
It’s because everyone can maximize their abilities on their own stage.
At this time, Cao Ren quickly ran down from the city, picked up Wei Tong and spun him around, laughing loudly, "People say that Wei Ziming has the courage of an overlord. I think this rumor underestimates Brother Wei."
"Zixiao, don't be ridiculous, I almost can't make it through tonight." Wei Tong chuckled. He was very tired. This was also the first time Song Xin saw Wei Tong so tired.
"Come, come to my house, and entertain me with fine wine. Who are these two?" Cao Ren asked.
"This is Song Ya, my life and death brother. This is Song Xin. Although he is young, his skills are not weak. General, don't underestimate him."
"Okay, okay, okay, young hero, come on, let's go to the mansion to have dinner together." Cao Ren happily shouted three times and invited them to have dinner in the mansion.
Several people followed Cao Ren into the mansion. Cao Ren had already ordered people to prepare wine and meat. After sitting down, Song Xin began to look at Cao Ren carefully. He was wearing a dark red shirt, more than seven feet tall, with a square face, white skin, and a chin.
He has a half-foot beard and small eyes, but he is quite energetic.
He has a thick waist and strong limbs. As a general who has been fighting all year round, he often drinks strong alcohol, which makes his waist and shoulders thick and round.
When Cao Ren saw Song Xin looking at him, he also looked at Song Xin, "I think this little brother looks extraordinary. He dares to follow Brother Ziming into the enemy camp. I wonder where this little brother is from?"
"Back to the general, Song Xin is from Juancheng, Yanzhou."
"It turns out he is from the Prime Minister's old place."
Cao Ren laughed heartily. When Song Xin saw that Cao Ren was so affectionate to him and did not despise him at all because of his background, Song Xin had a better impression of him and relaxed his nervous mood.
"It seems that this person is not difficult to get along with."
Sometimes it is ironic that it is not difficult to get along with big people, but it is more difficult to get along with people of lower status or no status.
Recalling the past when I first entered the workplace, I encountered some junior leaders who were flattering to the superiors and making things difficult for the young people below. Without exception, these people did it to show off their high status, but they didn’t realize that it was because of their low self-esteem that they gave
Weave a self-deceiving illusion for yourself.
Such people's achievements will always be limited and they will always rely on others.
When Wei Tong saw that the greetings were almost over, he took out the prime minister's secret letter.
"General, this time the Prime Minister has a secret message for the General. Please take a look at it."
Cao Ren took the letter and checked the paint first. Seeing that it was not damaged, he opened it and read it.
"The Prime Minister reassures Ren not to blame himself for what happened in Yiling. Food, grass, ordnance, and reinforcements are also being dispatched. I am ordered to continue to hold Zhou Yu here, not to fight with him for the time being, and to buy time for dispatch of the army in the direction of Xiangyang. In addition, I have been
Arrange for Le Wenhe, Man Boning, and Wen Zhongye to set up a defense line to ensure that our food routes are open. What good news, good news!"
Cao Ren was worried at first, as this was a battle that was bound to result in a loser or no win. After holding on for this period of time, not only did he not make any achievements, but he also lost Yiling a while ago, leaving the gate to the west of Jiangling wide open.
When I went to rescue him, I fell into Zhou Yu's trap and lost a lot of troops. Now I have no troops.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Yuan immediately added that he couldn't sleep at night worrying about this matter.
After the Battle of Yiling, Cao Ren no longer looked down upon Zhou Yu. He had realized that facing a commander like Zhou Yu who was both wise and brave, he had to deal with it with all his strength. Now that he saw Cao Cao's letter, Cao Ren felt greatly reassured.
.
"Brother Ziming, to be honest, I am still struggling to support myself here. The Prime Minister first handed over to me 10,000 soldiers. Including my own troops, it is only 16,000. Zhou Yu has gathered 30,000 elite soldiers this time.
Including Liu Bei's reinforcements, they are twice as large as our army. Cao Ren is probably paying a heavy trust from the prime minister. I don't know how long Jiangling can be defended, so I am upset."
Wei Tong was speechless after hearing this. The current situation was extremely unfavorable. Being trapped in the isolated city could only wait for death, but when he went out to fight, he was afraid that the city would be empty and someone would take over the city.
"General, although it is difficult for our army to win this battle, according to what Tong has seen, with the current situation, it is difficult for the Soochow Army to defeat Jiangling quickly. Our army can replace big battles with small battles, accumulate big victories with small victories, and retreat when strong
, attack when weak. You can take the initiative to harass Wu's army, destroy his corridors, and consume his military strength."
Just as he was talking, the sound of footsteps came from outside, "Wei Ziming is here, I must have a drink with you tonight."
A general who was nearly eight feet tall, wearing heavy armor, and with a broad waist came in. Song Xin was startled by his voice. His footsteps thumped on the wooden floor. Listening to his tone again, he thought it was this person and
Wei Tong seems to have a grudge.
The man looked at Wei Tong, walked quickly to him, sat down, grabbed Wei Tong's wine glass with his big hand and drank it all. Wei Tong looked at him and just smiled.
"General Niu, you lost to me in a sword fight. If you don't accept it, why don't you come and grab Wei's wine glass?" Wei Tong still had a smile on his face.
"Bah, that was because Lao Niu didn't eat enough last time and was exhausted. In the future, when Jiangling is relieved of the siege, Lao Niu will definitely compete with you again."
Wei Tong stood up and laughed, Niu Jin also stood up, and the two held their arms. Holding arms is the courtesy of knights calling brothers.
"It turns out he is a good friend of Brother Wei. It scared me." Song Xin muttered. Song Ya whispered in Song Xin's ear: "This General Niu was also a ranger when he was young."
"You Wei Ziming are so brave, you dare to pass through Zhang Yide's camp. I, Lao Niu, know that I am no match for Zhang Yide. That guy is going to get angry tonight, and Lao Niu feels happy when he thinks of being able to fly into a rage.
very."
"Niu Jin, go and sit in your seat. How does it look like sitting in front of Ziming?" Cao Ren smiled bitterly.
"Hey, good brother, I haven't seen you for many years. I miss you so much that I forgot my etiquette. I apologize for my sin."
After saying that, Niu Jin stood up and saluted Cao Ren and Wei Tong, and Wei Tong also returned the greetings.
When everyone was seated, Wei Tong suddenly remembered that he had intercepted a letter from Wu Jun. He took it out and said: "General, Tong also intercepted a letter from the courier in Zhou Yu's camp tonight. Please take a look, general." After saying this, he handed the letter with both hands.
It is not without reason that Wei Tongjun has many close friends. When discussing official matters, he is polite and considerate, and in private he is approachable when brothers fight.
Everyone who interacted with him felt like a breath of fresh air. Cao Ren and other generals knew Wei Tong when he first entered Cao's camp. They admired his chivalrous spirit and high swordsmanship, so they became friends. Not because of his background and previous experience.
He despised him because of his status as a ranger.
Cao Ren opened the letter and was surprised when he saw its contents.
