Chapter 526: Feishu Enters the Customs
Bingzhou, Huguan.
Huguan is located in the middle of the mountain. The shape of the pass is like a pot, so it is named Huguan. It belongs to Shangdang County of Bingzhou.
On the city wall of Huguan, there is a flag flying high - high!
The person stationed here is none other than Gao Shun, one of the eight strong generals under Lu Bu's command.
Lu Bu was well aware of the importance of Huguan, so he specially dispatched Gao Shun to lead 700 camps and 3,000 soldiers to guard Huguan, and also assigned Cao and Hao Meng to Gao Shun's command.
Cao Xing just got out of the barracks, casually put the bow and arrow on his back, and yawned.
"Old Hao, what are you doing here?"
Seeing Hao Meng standing aside, looking around from time to time, Cao Xing asked curiously.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just think about something when I have nothing to do."
Hearing Cao Xing's question, Hao Meng's heart tightened, and she pretended to be calm.
"Tsk tsk, so-and-so is going to teach archery, you can think about it slowly here." Cao Xing didn't bother to talk to him, saw that there was nothing to do, turned around and left.
As soon as Cao Xing left, Hao Meng breathed a sigh of relief and stroked his chest gently: "Fortunately, Cao Xing didn't find out, otherwise it would be over."
At this time, there was a rustling sound from a nearby cave. Hao Meng was very nervous, holding the handle of the knife lightly, and asked, "Is it the envoy of Mr. Yuan?"
A voice came from the cave: "Is it General Hao Meng?"
"it's me."
After the two sides confirmed their identities, a person sprang out of the cave, dressed as a farmer who collected medicine in the mountains, with many abrasions on his exposed skin. Huguan is difficult and dangerous, and it is difficult for birds to cross. However, there have been some trails that can reach Huguan over the years, but at most two or three people can enter, and it is impossible to mobilize an army.
And this person was hired by Ju Shou with a lot of money.
"General Hao Meng, this is a letter between the Lord and Mr."
"Hmm." Hao Meng grabbed the letter, waved her hand and said, "Go quickly, if you are discovered, Gao Shun will execute you on the spot."
Yao Nong nodded, and returned along the original road, while Hao Meng couldn't wait to tear open the envelope and looked carefully.
"Hao Meng personally said: My lord, Duke Yuan, has made up his mind and has launched an army of 40,000 to attack Bingzhou in the west. When the time comes, the gate will be closed and the fire will be used as a sign, and the inside and the outside will break through the Huguan. General Hao Meng's achievements, my master will clearly reward and punish, and there will be rewards!"
Hao Meng grabbed the letter excitedly, but suddenly trembled with fright, and almost tore the letter.
"Hao Meng, what are you doing here if you don't go to practice soldiers and horses?"
With a dignified face, Gao Shun scolded.
"General Gao!" Hao Meng quickly stuffed the letter into the armor and turned around.
Gao Shun frowned and said: "The generals and soldiers are one, and soldiers and horses are the foundation of victory in troubled times, do you understand?"
"No, I will follow General Gao's instruction."
Seeing Hao Meng's respectful attitude, Gao Shun nodded slightly, turned around and left.
Just as Gao Shun turned around, Hao Meng's downcast expression suddenly turned into glaring eyes, and his eyes slowly lifted up, fixedly staring at Gao Shun's back.
"General Gao, Cao Xing. I'm sorry. People die for money, and birds die for food. Who makes Lu Bu look like no one? Don't blame me, Hao Meng, blame Lu Bu!"
Night shift, midnight.
Cao Xing slowly opened his eyes in the middle of the night, only to feel that his bladder was about to explode, and a strong urge to urinate filled his brain, so he stood up immediately, ready to go out to urinate.
Cao Xing struggled to sit up, Sa Yazi rushed out of the tent, and before looking for a latrine, she aimed directly at the ground, and a stream of liquid spewed out immediately, Cao Xing's complexion gradually became more comfortable.
After urinating, Cao Xing shook his head, put on his belt in satisfaction, and unconsciously looked to the left.
"Huh?" A figure walked out of the tent, what's going on?
Cao Xing wanted to reprimand, but he was worried that it would affect the rest of the soldiers, so he swallowed the shouting abruptly and just looked forward.
Isn't this kid Hao Meng? Why did he go out with all his clothes on, and he still has to go out to fight in the middle of the night?
The more Cao Xing thought about it, the more something was wrong, and he wanted to report to Gao Shun, but then he thought: General Gao is tired enough from training soldiers during the day, so don't wake him up, I will follow up secretly to have a look.
Thinking of this, Cao Xing made a decision in his heart. When he returned to the camp, he was dressed in clothes and armor, and put his bow and arrows and quiver on his back. He grabbed a long spear and rushed out of the camp.
Seeing Hao Meng walking in front, Cao Xing quietly followed behind, suspiciously said: "Hao Meng doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing out here?"
Hao Meng was seen holding a torch, walking in front, and not long after, he reached the Huguan Pass, and then gave some instructions to the people next to him, but he didn't know what he said. But soon, the soldiers around Hao Meng collected dead branches and leaves, gathered in one place, and then lit a fire.
Ignite the number? Did Hao Meng betray Wen Hou?
Thinking of this, Cao Xing was furious in his heart, and he didn't care about stealth anymore, he just jumped out and shouted angrily.
"Hao Meng! What are you doing?"
Hao Meng and the dozens of soldiers around him were startled when they heard the shout, while Hao Meng frowned and said, "Calm down." After saying that, he turned around and met Cao Xing's eyes. .
"Hao Meng!" Cao Xing stepped forward and said angrily, "Did you betray Marquis Wen?"
Hao Meng sneered: "It's not that a certain betrayed Marquis Wen, but that Marquis Wen was unjust to me. The ruler chooses his ministers and the minister also chooses his ruler. Lu Bu didn't do me any favors. Why not go for his own future?"
"You fart!" Cao Xing said angrily, "If Marquis Wen didn't support you, how would you be here today? I'm afraid you'd still be a horse thief in Bingzhou."
Hearing that Cao Xing exposed her background, Hao Meng said shamelessly, "Cao Xing! I wasn't supported by Lu Bu. Today, all of this is caused by Lao Tzu's fight. Lao Tzu sold him Lu Bu's life for more than ten years. They are all scars, all of which are traded by Lao Tzu.”
Cao Xing yelled: "Stop talking nonsense, today a certain will eliminate the scourge of you for Marquis Wen!"
Whoosh! After finishing speaking, Cao Xinghu rushed forward and stabbed straight with a long spear in his hand, as if he wanted to stab Hao Meng through. And Hao Meng sneered: "Cao Xing, today I want to see how good you are in spearmanship besides archery."
Hao Meng pulled out the ring-sword at his waist, stepped forward, and slashed at the blade of the spear, Cao Xing's spear immediately deflected away, while Hao Meng took advantage of the situation to press forward, and the ring-shou knife slashed with a majestic sound. .
Cao Xing was furious, how could he retreat? With a shake of the spear in his hand, he shouted loudly, and rushed forward again, the spear and the knife were immediately entangled in one place, and the sound of the wind was fierce.
