Chapter 140(1/2)
Xiahou Lan walked out of the government office with a red face and stood on the steps and sighed to the sky.
Who is the king camp?
He was just a defeated general in Donglai. He only had a fight with Liu Chuang... No, he should have never fought with Liu Chuang. He only had a fight with Liu Chuang's general Taishi Ci, and he was valued by Lu Qian and respected him as a guest of honor. Although he had not made any contribution, he sat on the position of the cavalry governor.
After Xiahou Lan was humiliated by the king's camp, she felt even more depressed.
He stood at the government office for a while, then led his mount and turned over his horse.
I think of him, Xiahou Lan, who was fond of martial arts since he was a child, and he became a disciple at the age of fourteen. He practiced hard in the mountains for three years. He thought he could become famous all over the world, but he was cold-eyed everywhere. No wonder, Xiahou Lan was strong and very proud. He was not a descendant of a famous family, and he had no qualifications. After joining Yuan Shao's army, he served under Chunyu Qiong, the general under Yuan Shao's tent, but because he offended Chunyu Qiong, he had to leave Hebei and join Cao Cao. When Cao Cao welcomed the emperor, Xiahou Lan was naturally full of joy and came to Lu Qian's tent in Taishan County.
But……
Even if Cao Cao attaches great importance to talents, but who would really value you, Xiahou Lan, is an unknown man?
Xiahou Lan rode on the horse, and suddenly echoed in his mind when he went down the mountain, the teacher said: "If you have noble nature, but you don't have enough nourishment, you may not be able to achieve great things."
At that time, Xiahou Lan didn't understand what the teacher said, but now, he seemed to understand something.
But the more this happens, the more anxious he becomes.
He hopes to make a name for himself, and only in this way can he have the honor to go back to see the teacher.
Because when he went down the mountain, the teacher did not agree with him leaving, but instead thought that he should stay on the mountain and take him for another year and a half.
But how could Xiahou Lan understand the teacher’s painstaking efforts at that time?
With a dimple mood, he came to the gate of Banyang City.
I feel so frustrated that he thought of his martial arts but ended up guarding the city gate.
A group of caravans came from outside the city.
Xiahou Lan sat under the awning at the city gate, drinking a suffocating wine, and watched the caravan pass the checkpoint and slowly march into the city.
"Slow down!"
He suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.
The soldiers around immediately stepped forward and stopped the convoy.
Xiahou Lan walked forward with a meteor, pointed at a fat Kuisuo who was sitting in the car and was nine feet tall and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The fat man jumped out of the car, holding a nine-foot knife in his hand.
"In Xiamenma, he is the entourage of the convoy."
Menma's Xuzhou dialect made Xiahou Lan relax his vigilance.
He looked up and down at the fat man, and always felt that the image of the person in front of him seemed familiar.
However, the Xuzhou dialect seemed to be inconsistent, not to mention the big knife in his hand, which was not very consistent with the legend.
"General, General..."
A scholar in blue clothes came out of the convoy. He had a good appearance and a very bookish spirit.
He came to Xiahou Lan, and hurriedly bowed and said, "I wonder if the general stops the convoy, what will he do to teach me?"
"Who are you……"
"I am not talented Chen Bi, a member of the Chen clan of Huaipu, Guangling.
This time, a batch of goods will be escorted to Gaotang."
Xiahou Lan nodded in Guangling Huaipu.
He did know that there was a large family of Chen surnames in Huaipu, Guangling. A few days ago, the large family of Chen surnames even broke their faces with Lu Bu... The children of the large family were indeed extraordinary. Xiahou Lan's eyes shifted from the horse and greeted Chen Bi. Seeing that there was no flaw, he was too lazy to ask again.
"You are going to Gaotang?"
“That’s right!”
"If this is the case, I'm afraid it's a little trouble."
"ah?"
"If you go to Gaotang, you will definitely leave Yuling. However, the war in Yuling is intensifying now. If you want to go there, you may have some trouble."
Xiahou Lan said, and glanced at the convoy.
The convoy looked like only two or three hundred people, and the entourages seemed very strong.
"If you encounter a large group of defeated soldiers, you will definitely suffer a great loss. If you listen to my advice, it is best to take a detour... You can also reach Gaotang from Zhuadu Jishui. But the distance is a little longer, and it may take about ten days to delay. Mr. Chen, please consider it yourself."
Although Xiahou Lan is proud, she also has to distinguish who she is.
The Chen family of Guangling may not be considered a powerful man in the world, but it is also considered a prominent family.
In terms of fame, the Chen family of Guangling is far inferior to the Chen family of Yingchuan, the Chen family of Runan or the Chen family of Nanyang, but in terms of its current momentum, it is the most resonant. After all, Chen Deng was the prefect of Guangling, and Chen Gui had just fought with Lu Bu, so Xiahou Lan naturally heard of it.
When Chen Bi heard this, he hurriedly thanked Xiahou Lan.
"Thank you for your reminder, I will consider it if I don't want to do it."
"Go over..."
Xiahou Lan said, then glanced at the Mama again, and suddenly smiled, "You entourage is so good at Kuisuo. At first glance, I thought it was the Uncle Liu of Yingchuan."
Little did he know that Chen Bi was shocked and said with a smile on his face: "If this is the case, there is no need to do this low-key act without talent.
By the way, haven’t you asked General Gao’s name yet?”
"A certain family Xiahou Lan is an army... This city lord cavalry.
Okay, you guys come over quickly. What's the point of blocking the city gate? Let's go!"
Xiahou Lan waved her hand impatiently and signaled the convoy to pass quickly.
Chen Bi could see that Xiahou Lan was not in a good mood, so he hurriedly thanked him and turned around and said, "Pinma, quickly urge the convoy to move forward."
However, he found a strange look flashing across Menma's face.
"Here!"
Menma's face became very fast and he immediately returned to calm.
He bowed to Chen Bi, then got on the carriage and signaled the coachman to drive the carriage.
"Young Master, you just heard the name of Xiahou Lan, and it seems a little... Could it be that this person is strange?"
After leaving for a inn in the city, Chen Bi pulled the horse and asked softly: "If so, we can give up our plan."
The door horse is for breaking!
When Liu Chuang heard this, he waved his hand and smiled, "No need, do everything according to your plan."
"Then I'll go and arrange it now."
Chen Bi is Chen Jiao.
Seeing that Liu Chuang had no change, he immediately bowed and retreated.
"By the way, please help me find out about the situation of Xiahou Lan."
"Here!"
Chen Jiao knew in his heart that Xiahou Lan was probably not simple. Although Liu Chuang said he didn't care, his actions had proved that this person must have some tricks, otherwise Liu Chuang would not have been so concerned, and he also asked him to inquire about Xiahou Lan's situation.
It seems that you need to be more careful tonight.
The layout and planning of Panyang County will of course be reported in Linshou.
If compared with Linshou, this city is at most a small town. However, due to the geographical location of Panyang, the town is basically built according to a military fortress. The walls are high and thick, and if you want to attack for a strong force, you will need at least 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses. But the problem is that, with only so many people in Linshou, it is even more impossible to hand over all the soldiers and horses to Liu Chuang for command.
After three days of training, Liu Chuang never thought about turning those more than 3,000 people into elite soldiers.
He didn't even think that it would improve their morale, let alone combat effectiveness.
He only hopes that these people can understand military discipline and obey orders. If they want to resolve the siege of the siege, they will eventually win with surprise soldiers.
For this reason, he consulted a large amount of information in three days.
Liu Chuang is not particularly unfamiliar with the name Wang Ying.
Taishici and Huang Zhen both mentioned this person. If Taishici said, this person had no ability and could not be considered a real general.
Liu Chuang felt strange. Wang Ling had just escaped from Donglai not long ago. Why did he transform into a bandit of Mount Tai?
In addition, the appearance of the Taishan bandits this time was extremely strange, so soon Liu Chuang realized that the so-called Taishan bandits were probably Cao Cao's soldiers.
He discussed this possibility with Chen Jiao.
Chen Jiao agreed with Liu Chuang's inference very much, and soon set up a plan with Liu Chuang.
The lame man picked the general. He selected 800 relatively strong men from the thousands of soldiers and horses, and found a side general named Cen Bi. This man was much better at martial arts than Peng An and was quite brave. He was good at using a pair of big swords and was almost done immediately.
The most important thing is that Cen Bi is brave.
If you want to defeat him with a surprise weapon, you will be brave enough...
Liu Chuang ordered Zhou Cang and Cen Bi to command 800 soldiers and ambush outside the city. Then he and Chen Jiao pretended to be merchants and sneaked into such Yang County.
Xiahou Lan!
