"What did Meng Rang say?" Zuo Yunshan asked. ◇↓ San◇↓◇↓◇↓◇↓ Novel.￥f

Zuo Xiaoyou sighed, "He hopes that I can abide by the alliance agreement, attack Beihai County and Qi County, and resolve the crisis in Gaomi County!"

"crisis?"

Zuo Yunshan asked in confusion: "Did Zhang Xutuo start attacking Gaomi County?"

"I don't have information on this, so I feel a little uneasy and don't know what to do?" Zuo Xiaoyou looked at Zuo Yunshan expectantly.

Zuo Yunshan sneered and said, "Meng Rang is bullying us, there is no one in the dog mountain!"

"How do you say this?"

"It's very simple. Zhang Xutuo wiped out Xu Yuanlang. Who will be targeted next? Not only the king is worried, but Meng Rang is also worried. There is no news in Gaomi yet. Meng Rang let us attack Beihai County and Qi County. What does the king say this mean?"

Zuo Xiaoyou reacted, "Did the second uncle say, Meng Rang leads the disaster to the east?"

Zuo Yunshan nodded, "That's what he meant. Meng Rang is very cunning. Last year, he betrayed Wang Bo and fled with his own troops. However, Wang Bo's entire army was destroyed. This shows that this person has no credibility and cannot trust him."

"But it was my second uncle who advised me to sign an offensive and defensive alliance with him!"

"This is one time and another!"

Zuo Yunshan's mentality had changed at this time. He shook his head and said, "We were too weak at the beginning. If we didn't sign an offensive and defensive alliance with Meng Rang, he would eat us. That's why I advised the king to form an alliance with him. Now we have strong strength and are enough to protect ourselves. Why are we still dragged down by Meng Rang?"

Seeing that Zuo Xiaoyou was still hesitating, Zuo Yunshan advised him again: "Meng Rang's intention was too sinister. Let us consume the Sui army, and in the end both sides were defeated. He then swallowed us in the name of fulfilling the alliance. At that time, his power grew stronger and occupied Gaomi and Beihai counties. The Sui army retreated back to Qi County. But we became his wedding dress."

Zuo Xiaoyou nodded, "Uncle Er is right, but I am afraid that the world will laugh at me, so I said that I, Zuo Xiaoyou, have no faith and will not be accepted by the covenant."

"Who would laugh at the king if this worry is too much? If the king really wants this face, then that's the same. We will say that we were attacked by the Sui army. We asked him to abide by the alliance to attack Qi County, and see if he is willing to send troops?"

"Uncle Second said it well, this is a good way to test him!"

Zuo Xiaoyou immediately smiled and said, "I'll go to Meng Rang's envoy now and ask him to pass on my meaning to Meng Rang."

.........

The county seat of Gaomi County is not Gaomi County, but Zhucheng County. Gaomi County is about 200 miles away from Zhucheng County and is located on the east bank of Jiaoshui, while Mengrang's old cave Jiaoshui is located on the west bank of Jiaoshui. The two counties are less than five miles apart, and they look at each other from Jiaoshui.

Both counties are slightly higher than Jiaoxi County due to the hilly areas of the Shandong Peninsula. Due to the terrain of the west and east, Gaomi County is slightly higher than Jiaoxi County, making it a front portal for Meng Rang's army.

Meng Rang had about 10,000 troops stationed in Gaomi County, and was commanded by his confidant general Zheng Ting. Once Gaomi County was lost, the Sui army would have a base to attack Jiaoxi County, and Meng Rang's army would become very passive.

Although Meng Rang sent 10,000 heavy troops in Gaomi County, the county town was not large and could not accommodate 10,000 troops, so most of the troops were stationed outside the city, and there were only 3,000 troops in the city.

To attack Jiaoxi County, the first thing to do is to capture Gaomi County. Therefore, attacking Gaomi County was also the top priority of the Sui army.

At this time, Meng Rang had already received the news that Xu Yuanlang was wiped out by Zhang Xutuo, which made him feel a little alert. Without Xu Yuanlang's danger in Lu County, there was another Sui army in Qinghe County, so Zhang Xutuo had no worries. Will he free up his hands to attack him? Or Zuo Xiaoyou of Donglai County?

The more I thought about it, the greater the possibility. Meng Rang immediately sent someone to Donglai County to contact Zuo Xiaoyou and reminded him of the offensive and defensive alliance signed by both sides that if Zhang Xutuo attacked Donglai County, he would lead his army to attack Qi County.

But if Zhang Xutuo attacked Gaomi County, he also hoped that Zuo Xiaoyou would send troops to Qi County, and both sides would echo each other and protect each other.

At the same time, Meng Rang sent someone to notify Zheng Ting, making him more vigilant and prevent being attacked by the Sui army.

It should be said that Meng Rang did consider it very thoughtfully and did everything he should do, but the development of the situation often fails to meet his wishes, especially the hearts of the people.

...........

In the room, Meng Rang had a gloomy face and listened to the messenger's report. He was so angry that he punched the table hard. Zuo Xiaoyou actually asked him to send troops to Qijun first. This was clearly an excuse for him not to fulfill his alliance relationship.

Meng Rang also realized that Zuo Xiaoyou didn't have so much thought. This must be the instigation of his uncle Zuo Yunshan. Meng Rang was upset and Zuo Xiaoyou was no longer reliable. What should I do?

Meng Rang was different from other rebellious leaders. He had neither a burly figure nor a fierce appearance. He looked like a gentle scholar, but he was very scheming. In fact, Zuo Yunshan did not guess wrong his intention. He wanted to cause trouble to move eastward and let Zuo Xiaoyou take action first, so that Zhang Xutuo's target would be focused on Zuo Xiaoyou. He sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight. When they fought, he would reap profits. Unfortunately, Zuo Yunshan saw through his thoughts and he couldn't help but sigh in anger.

Zhou Wei, the confidant general next to him, whispered: "Maybe Zhang Xutuo will hit Zuo Xiaoyou first, and we will not be able to take care of us for the time being."

"Of course I hope so, but I have to be careful!"

After pondering for a long time, Meng Rang immediately wrote a letter and told a personal soldier: "You go to Langya County quickly and hand this letter to Sun Xuanya. Remember, you should give it to Sun Xuanya himself, and you cannot fall into Wang Bo's hands."

"I understand the humble position!" The personal soldiers took the letter and hurriedly left.

Zhou Wei asked in a low voice: "Do you want to find a way out?"

Meng Rang looked at him and said coldly: "You can only know me and I, and you can't let the third person know about this."

"Yes! I know."

At noon, it was deserted outside the northern city of Gaomi County. As the New Year was approaching, if there was peace, there would be a crowd in the county town. People who came to buy New Year's goods from seven miles and eight villages would definitely be crowded. Unfortunately, after years of war, the population in Shandong has dropped sharply, and it is difficult to see a lively and busy scene even in the New Year.

At this time, a caravan came from a distance, driving dozens of horses, carrying large and small bags of goods, and a deer cart with four or five boxes on it, and dozens of people. They were all agile, wearing a unique black short suit for merchants, and wearing a business flag. The thief army guarding the city saw the caravan from afar. They were quite strange and immediately ran to report to the city guard captain.

The city guard immediately led a dozen soldiers to rush out and stopped the caravan, "Stand!"

The caravan stopped slowly, and an old man in charge came forward and bowed: "We are coming from Dongjun and coming to Gaomi County to do some small business."

“Do a business?”

The captain sneered. How long has it been since we met the caravan, and there are still people coming to do business, "What are you doing?"

"We are here to buy cloth. Please see, General, this is our proof."

He wanted to open the box behind. Perhaps because of the excessive force, the deer cart overturned, and several boxes fell to the ground with a few "wow!", and countless copper coins poured out of the boxes. Everyone was stunned. More than a dozen thief soldiers stared at the money on the ground with their eyes fixed on each other. Someone shouted "Snatch!" More than a dozen thief soldiers rushed forward and grabbed the copper coins on the ground.

The captain was furious and swung his whip at the soldiers, "All up!"

At this moment, a friend stabbed into the back of the captain's back with a fierce knife. The captain of the thief army screamed and died immediately. The sudden incident immediately shocked all the soldiers. Dozens of men suddenly broke out, lifting the goods on the horse's back and revealing the saddle. They all got on their horses and pulled out their battle swords and spears to rush towards the city gate.

Yuchi Gong took the lead, jumped onto the suspension bridge, and slapped the iron rod and slapped hard, killing more than a dozen thief soldiers who had just run out of the city to break their bones and tendons, and their brains burst, and they all died tragically on the ground.

There was a chaos at the city gate. Nearly a hundred thief soldiers behind saw that the general was extremely fierce, so they were so scared that they rolled around and crawled towards the city gate. Yuchi Gong waved his iron rod and rushed into the enemy group.

Dozens of cavalry behind him rushed into the city cave in an instant and ruthlessly killed the thieves in chaos.

At the same time, hundreds of cavalry rushed out of the woods five miles away, with horses galloping and rushing towards the city gate like lightning. Behind them, thousands of Sui soldiers came like a tide, and the leader was Zhang Xuan.

This is the key to the assault war. You must enter the city as quickly as possible, so that the opponent cannot pull up the suspension bridge and close the city gate. Only the speed of the cavalry can do it.

On the top of the city, the alarm bell rang, and hundreds of thieves soldiers tried their best to close the city gate and pulled up the suspension bridge, but the city gate had been stuck with heavy objects by Sui soldiers and could not be closed, but the suspension bridge was slowly pulled up.

Seeing the critical situation, Yuchi Gong jumped onto the suspension bridge from his horse, ran to the edge of the suspension bridge in a few steps, and smashed the wedges of the suspension bridge that fixed the suspension bridge. With a loud "bang!", the wood broke and broken wood splashed everywhere. He flew up from the suspension bridge with a piece of wood, and sucked heavily on the city wall like a snake.

The suspension bridge suddenly tilted to the left, and Yuchi Gong lay on the bridge without being overturned. He saw that the iron chain on the right was still pulling upwards. He jumped up and roared, and the iron rod was smashed high. Another loud noise. The wood in the upper right corner was smashed to pieces, and the iron chain on the right flew up. The suspension bridge fell heavily and fell on the moat.

This was just something that happened in an instant. Before the soldiers on the city could react, Yuchi Gong turned around and rushed into the city cave again.

At this time, hundreds of thieves rushed out of the barracks next to the city gate. The general was Zheng Ting, the chief general of Gaomi County. He saw that the Sui cavalry had already rushed into the city and was fighting fiercely with dozens of defending the city troops. He saw that his soldiers could no longer resist.

Zheng Ting was anxious, not caring about the bandits not withdrawing, and waved his mace and said, "Shoot the arrow!"

Hundreds of crossbowmen rushed forward and shot at the cavalry at the city gate. Hundreds of arrows roared away. More than a dozen Sui cavalry and dozens of bandits could not dodge. They were all shot into arrows and fell to the ground. Screams rang out. Five or six Sui cavalry were unfortunately caught in arrows and fell off the horse.

Yuchi Gong was furious and grabbed the body of a thief soldier as a shield, turned over to the horse, and ran towards the crossbowman dozens of steps away with an iron stick.

"Follow me!" Yuchi Gong shouted, and more than a dozen cavalrymen behind him followed him to charge.

Another wave of crossbow arrows shot in densely. Yuchi Gong waved his corpse to resist the arrows, and countless arrows shot on the corpse. Despite this, Yuchi Gong was still hit by two arrows in his leg. However, Yuchi Gong seemed to have no idea and rushed into more than a hundred crossbow hands, and more than a dozen cavalrymen following him rushed into the enemy group.

Yuchi Gong threw away the corpse, swung the iron rod and beat it around, like a tiger pounced into the flock of sheep, causing the enemy's bones to shatter, blood splattered everywhere, and cried and stumbled, stumbled and fled.

At this moment, Yuchi Gong suddenly felt a cold wind sweeping towards the back of his head. (To be continued.)
