Chapter 65 The Carrier Pigeon
Seeing Xie Chengbin's attitude was kind and kind, the man was a little relieved, and nodded while wiping off the cold sweat from his forehead. "The little girl was dissatisfied with her ambition, so the grass people took the pigeon."
"Let's go! It's not my original intention to force others. I wonder if I can let someone enter the mansion to convince Ling Yuan?" That's it, but if his daughter refuses to give up the pigeon, she can only be polite and then the soldiers. After all, it is really important for the army to convey information by the pigeon. Xie Chengbin will not compromise for the sake of a gentleman's style.
After obtaining the agreement, Xie Chengbin only brought Dian Wei and several confidants in, and the others all went out to Dong'e to prepare for the war.
The slave guided him to the backyard. The backyard has a pleasant view, including rockery, pond, flowers, plants and trees, and pigeons are everywhere. There is a pavilion with plum blossoms in the middle of the courtyard. Someone is playing the piano in the pavilion. The song played is actually an episode of Jingwumen!
The genuine Jingwu Men episode should be a multi-instrument ensemble to have a magnificent and inspiring feeling, but here is played by the guqin version. Although it sounds like it is no longer the magnificent and inspiring feeling in the past, it makes people feel very comfortable and relaxed, relaxed and refreshed. The music is so wonderful. The same song feels different when played by different instruments.
At this time, the song was only half played. The slave originally wanted to step forward but was signaled by Xie Chengbin to stop because the person who played it was so good. Xie Chengbin wanted to listen to it all, although there were still 160,000 people waiting for Xie Chengbin.
After the song, Xie Chengbin was fascinated by the song. After the song, Xie Chengbin couldn't help but applaud. "What a wonderful thing!"
The person in the pavilion looked up and saw that it was the girl Xie Chengbin met last time he bought a hairpin! The girl saw that the visitor was wearing armor, and several followers behind him were all tiger soldiers, so she did not dare to neglect and walked out of the pavilion to bow. "I have seen the general."
The girl lowered her head slightly and did not look directly at Xie Chengbin. She looked calm and calm, without any surprise. She obviously did not recognize Xie Chengbin. There was still the hairpin on her head, which looked pretty.
Xie Chengbin was a little puzzled, wondering if it was a coincidence, someone's composition was exactly the same as the ones that were more than a thousand years later. "I just heard a girl playing a song that made me feel relaxed and happy. I admire her very much. I wonder if this song was written by the girl?"
When he received the praise, a bright red color appeared on the woman's face. "The general was a mischievous praise. A woman from my family hid in the backyard and was clumsy. My brother took office as a musician in the plains. This song was learned by my brother from the envoy."
"So that's it." After a long time, I heard it from Cody, but Cody only played it once at that time. So many musicians couldn't play it. I guess his brother was also guessing and confused, but she could play it well. It's amazing! After asking about private matters, it's time to do a serious matter. "To be honest, I came for a pigeon this time, I hope the girl will give up her love."
"It must be that the general wants to use the pigeons to pass on the letters, so it's okay. I am worried about too many pigeons. The general can take away all the young pigeons." The woman smiled slightly, acted very generously, and did not look reluctant. It seems that Xie Chengbin was thinking too much.
With permission, Xie Chengbin clasped his fists and thanked him, turned around and left, took out a token and handed it to one of his confidants, and asked him to go to Dongpingling to find Gao Xu to deal with it.
When I was about to reach the gate, I happened to meet the little pepper.
When Xiao Lajiao met Xie Chengbin before, she saw Xie Chengbin dressed simply and thought she was just an ordinary person. Unexpectedly, she became a majestic general three months later, which made Xiao Lajiao point at Xie Chengbin with her index finger so surprised that she couldn't speak. "Ru, yeah..."
Seeing the aggressive Xiao Lajiao in the past but was speechless today, Xie Chengbin couldn't help but want to laugh.
Dian Wei didn't know the reason, but only knew that a mere little slave was so rude. He couldn't help but be furious. His body flashed in front of Xie Chengbin and wanted to draw his sword when he acted. "Rareless!"
Little Lajiao is just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. She can't withstand the shock of the fierce Dian Wei. She was so scared that she squatted on the ground, holding her face and crying loudly.
Xie Chengbin was dissatisfied and thought that he was just an ignorant child, so there was no need to be so serious. He went over Dian Wei to Xiao Laijiao, helped Xiao Laijiao up, took out a piece of jade from the sack and handed it to Xiao Laijiao, coaxed Xiao Laijiao like coaxing a child, and made a face to tease her, and finally made Xiao Laijiao laugh.
The jade was given by Taishi Ci's mother. Since she brought Taishi Ci and his son to Dongpingling, Xie Chengbin treated Taishi Ci's mother like his mother in order to stabilize Taishi Ci's mother. In fact, since Xie Chengbin passed by, he had been away from home for a long time. Besides, Taishi Ci's mother was kind and friendly (women always got married very early at that time so they were very young), and there was a rare warmth that Xie Chengbin cherished. Later, he ran around in the battles and had no time to talk with her. Taishi Ci's mother was also understanding and knew that Xie Chengbin helped the world and the people, so she bought this jade for Xie Chengbin to protect her safety, but not even Taishi Ci. Although Xie Chengbin was not superstitious, he was still full of his heart and kept it in the treasure bag.
The gift of this piece of jade does not mean that Xie Chengbin does not take Taishi Ci's mother seriously. In Xie Chengbin's opinion, you treat me as your son and I also treat you as your own mother. It is enough to have this heart. Just a piece of jade really doesn't mean anything.
Everyone returned to the army and the army officially set off!
Xie Chengbin was in a good mood along the way because he finally had pigeons to pass letters. He never saw pigeons before. It was because few people raised pigeons in this era and were too poor. Many people had to sell their children or wives to support their lives because they could not pay heavy taxes. They could not afford poultry at all, let alone pigeons. Rich families may not like to raise pigeons, so there were very few people raising pigeons.
Xie's army was eyeing the riverside with 20,000 naval troops, and 160,000 troops swept like a tsunami, flooding the counties of Dongping Kingdom. Xiahou Yuan, who learned the news, did not send troops to fight, dispatched troops to prepare for the city defense, sent people to ask for help from the surrounding counties and states, and at the same time reported the matter to Cao Cao in Hebei.
Xie's army was very powerful. Wherever they went, except Wuyancheng (Dongping County City), all counties opened cities and surrendered. Wuyancheng suddenly became an isolated city and was surrounded by Xie's army. Since there were no siege equipment in the new era, Xie's army did not attack the city immediately. They set up camp and logged wood to build siege equipment.
Two days later, the siege tools such as catapults, ladders, well railings have been completed, and the city will be sieged tomorrow.
Late at night, the Wuyan West City Gate quietly opened, and the Cao army soldiers ran out of the city gate in an orderly manner, carrying people and horses wrapped in hooves, and silently advancing towards the Xie Jun camp. At the same time, a large number of Cao soldiers outside the Xie army encirclement were also quietly approaching the Xie Jun camp. The two formed a trend of internal and external cooperation, just like a pair of scissors trying to cut the Xie Jun encirclement.
Dozens of black shadows were gathered from the Cao army formation that came from Wuyan City. It was difficult to find these black shadows except for close observation. Dozens of black shadows began to climb towards the four watchtowers of Xie Jun. They were very agile. After a while, they climbed to the top observation deck. While the Xie Jun sentries were unprepared, they each took out a dagger and stabbed them into the back of the Xie Jun sentries! The Xie Jun sentries struggled a little and fell down softly.
Seeing that the task was done, the man in black climbed down and prepared to open the gate of the village. At this time, one of the sentry, who had not yet died, struggled to take out the horn from his waist, and tried his best to blow the horn to warn him. Unexpectedly, the horn could not sound no matter how hard he blew it! The sentry died in disbelief.
The gate of the village was opened, and Cao's army rushed into the Xie army camp one after another. The Xie army patrol soldiers who were inquiring nearby were all defeated by Cao's army and retreated. Cao's army followed closely under the command of Xiahou Yuan and chased them relentlessly.
Suddenly the patrol soldiers turned around and disappeared. Just when Xiahou Yuan was crying in secret, a sound arrow was shot into the air and made a sharp and harsh sound. A large number of Xie army infantry and cavalry continued to flow out from all directions. It was obvious that Xie army was prepared, and the leaders were Guan Hai and Gao Lan.
Guan Hai persuaded surrender, but Xiahou Yuan refused to follow and ordered to break out of the siege. Seeing that he was still going to resist, Guan Hai was furious and rushed towards Xiahou Yuan first. The two armies fought together, and the shouts of killing were deafening for a moment. Cao's army had few soldiers, and they were fighting and retreating.
When Cao's army was ambushing outside the Xiejun camp heard the shouts of killing, he took advantage of the opportunity to enter the Xiejun camp. He set fire to the camp wherever he went. The leader's appearance was short but majestic, and it was Le Jin and Le Wenqian under Cao Cao's tent.
After setting the fire for a long time, no soldiers from Xie's army came to fight. Le Jin suspected that he was cheating and ordered the entire army to retreat.
At this moment, Cao's army was intercepted by Zangba Yu Jin and his men, and Dian Wei and Zhang Fei led their troops to fight to the front. There were wolves in front and tigers in the back, and the proportion of the number was huge. Cao's army was defeated by Xie's army, and countless surrendered people. Le Jin was not able to be captured alive when his confidant fought to the death.
