Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

Now that Zhong Yao was injured, the enemy general threatened that he was poisoned, Cao Jun's tense fighting spirit turned into chaos and panic.

When Cao Jun was in chaos, Zhong Yao, supported by a general, climbed up the Guanlou expressionlessly, and scolded Ebony under the city with righteous words.

"Hahaha! A small injury, if you are a despicable foreigner, it will become a serious injury. All the soldiers obey the order. If the foreign bandits want to break through Tongguan, they must first step over my body, Zhong Yao, and you. corpse."

"From now on, no matter who takes a step back, they can be killed on both sides. This order will last until the retreat of foreign bandits ends."

The appearance of Zhong Yao gave Guan Cao Jun a new look, everyone was full of fighting spirit, and responded angrily.

"Shut up with people, shut down and die!"

"Shut up with people, shut down and die!"

"Shut up with people, shut down and die!"

……

Wumu at the bottom of the city learned the meaning of Zhong Yao's words from the translator, and saw Cao Jun's morale was high, with a strange and ironic smile on his face.

"Retreat five miles and set up camp, and take a three-day break to attack the city." Wumu raised his big hand, pretending not to be in a hurry, and led the army back slowly.

Seeing this, Zhong Yao, who was closed, tensed up and relaxed, the pain from his back made him sway, and he was frightened and helped the general to ask.

"Sir, are you alright?"

Zhong Yao shook his head and said, "It's okay, the enemy army should not attack for the time being, just arrange the soldiers to defend normally."

After Zhong Yao finished speaking, he broke free from the general's support, and went down the tower steadily by himself, trying to maintain a normal state so that no one would see any problems.

All the way back to the residence, Zhong Yao was drenched all over, his face was extremely pale, he closed the door tremblingly, and took off his jacket and robe in front of the bronze mirror.

Looking at the dart wound on his back, which had turned into a dark and red patch, Zhong Yao frowned, thought for a while, and called from the door for a military doctor.

An hour later, Zhong Yao closed his clothes, glanced at the military doctor with an ugly face, and asked, "How is it? To be honest, my lord is mentally prepared."

The military doctor replied with a slight trembling voice: "My lord's injury is not fatal, but the toxin on the wound has spread all over the body, and it may be difficult to remove."

Zhong Yao narrowed his eyes, paused for a moment and said, "Is there a way to cure it, or to delay the spread?"

The military doctor thought for a while and said: "Eradication is somewhat difficult. It requires a resting place and long-term internal and external medication. If it is postponed, it is not impossible, but this is tantamount to slow suicide."

The military doctor is very clear about the current situation. If Zhong Yao leaves, Tongguan will be in chaos. As long as Guishuang's army launches an attack, Tongguan will be broken in a short time.

But the military doctor couldn't do it for him to remove the poison for a while, and he was only half sure of the long-term medication. The choice was left to Zhong Yao himself.

Zhong Yao thought for a while and said, "For now, my lord leaves Tongguan at this time, and the people behind Tongguan will surely be murdered."

"In addition, you must keep the secret, otherwise the head will fall to the ground. Also, you must ensure that you can move freely, and you cannot walk after taking medicine."

His life was at stake, and he was still thinking about war. The military doctor was full of admiration, but he still offered his personal opinion.

"My lord, it is very dangerous to postpone it. If you work too hard, I am afraid that in the end, there will be no cure."

Faced with the kindness of the military doctor, Zhong Yao could only appreciate it, because he was very clear about gains and losses. Although personal life is important, there are some things that are more important than life.

The military doctor can say that he has done his best, and since Zhong Yao is determined, he can't force it.

After some medication, Zhong Yao's complexion improved a lot, but he was very clear about the after-effects, because the back pain was still slowly spreading.

Although Guishuang's army did not attack for the time being, the battle was still imminent. Zhong Yao had no time to rest, so he immediately sent people to Xuchang to urge reinforcements.

Chapter 727

Chang'an City is not far from Tongguan, and the guard is Kong Rong, who returned from Xiliang. Because he needs to relocate the people in advance to avoid losses caused by the corruption of the situation, he is also very busy.

At this time, he was dealing with the relocation of political affairs, and suddenly a soldier rushed over, interrupting his thoughts.

Kong Rong raised his head, glanced slightly and said, "What's the matter, but there is an urgent report from Tongguan?"

The soldier replied: "Master Taizhong, no, there are nearly [-] troops outside the city. It is said that they are under the command of the general Gao Shun. They were ordered to go to Tongguan to support them. They want to get some food and grass in Chang'an."

"Gao Shun? Came so fast?" Kong Rong was puzzled. It was less than a day before he got the news from Xu Chang, and he didn't expect Gao Shun to come right after him.

But since they came to help, it was a timely rain for the moment. Although Kong Rong was puzzled, he got up immediately and went to the tower to confirm without any delay.

After careful observation, seeing nothing suspicious, Kong Rong ordered the city gate to be opened and went out of the city to inquire about the details.

"Old man Kong Rong, Kong Wenju, General Gao has come from a long way, how about going to the city to rest?" Kong Rong looked at Gao Shun in front of the army with a smile and said politely.

Hearing that it was Kong Rong who came, Gao Shun put on a serious face, squeezed out a smile and cupped his hands and said, "I have seen Mr. Kong, and Shun is lucky to be able to meet Sansheng today, and I would like to hear from him, but it is a military emergency. No time."

"Where, where, General Gao praised you." Kong Rong was very happy to be praised by Gao Shun, and Gao Shun's words were just as he wanted, so he turned around and said, "How much food and grass does the general want? "

Speaking of business, Gao Shun put a smile on his face and returned to his previous appearance, and said, "7000 troops, and the food and grass within seven days, Mr. Kong, can you prepare it?"

Chang'an has a lot of food and grass, and there are too many to call. Kong Rong, a civil servant, is also somewhat difficult, after all, he is not a close friend of Cao Cao.

After thinking for a moment, Kong Rong asked, "When will General Gao need it?"

Gao Shun replied: "The sooner the better, Shun must rush to Tongguan to support and meet the enemy."

Originally, Gao Shun had enough food, and when he got the letter from Li Huiyi, he set off for Tongguan immediately. However, under Cao Cao's rule, he was stopped because they had not yet received Cao Cao's order.

The invasion of foreign enemies was at a time when the enemy was fighting against each other. In order to avoid unhappiness, Gao Shun sent someone to negotiate with General Cao. After no results, he chose to pause and wait for them to receive orders.

Such a delay along the way would naturally lead to a shortage of food and grass, but in order to avoid misunderstandings, Gao Shun tried to avoid the city as much as possible, did not go to ask for food, and tried his best to overcome difficulties.

Now that they arrived in Chang'an, they were already hungry for several meals. Gao Shun had no choice but to ask Kong Rong for some food and grass.

Hearing Gao Shun's answer, Kong Rong knew that this person was only going to Tongguan to kill the enemy, so a wave of respect rose in his heart, and he decided that no matter how difficult it was, even if he lost his official position, he would still meet his needs.

After Kong Rong once again invited Gao Shun to the city for a rest but was rejected, he led his people back to the city and began to prepare food and grass by himself. They have strength to go on.

After working for a long time, Kong Rong finally allocated enough food, and before he had time to rest, he led people to send it to Gao Shun outside the city.

Gao Shun's troops had enough food and drink, and had already recovered most of their physical strength. Seeing Kong Rong's food and grass, he was simple and polite, and hurriedly led the army on the way.

After a day and night, Gao Shun rushed to Tongguan, and Zhong Yao learned that he was overjoyed to go to meet him in person, which was already very important.

When the two met, Zhong Yao said politely: "General Gao came in time. On behalf of the prime minister and the people, you thank General Gao for coming to help."

Gao Shun knew about Zhong Yao's name, and he also heard a lot of high comments about him from Li Huiyi, so he didn't show any contempt.

Gao Shun said politely: "Master Zhong is serious. Shun is only doing his duty as a soldier. How about the current situation in Tongguan?"

"Come on, talk as you walk." Seeing Gao Shun mentioning the war, Zhong Yao put away his polite words and hurriedly led the way, leading Gao Shun to Tongguan to observe the Guishuang camp.

From Zhong Yao's mouth along the way, Gao Shun already had some understanding of the basic situation, and seeing the laziness of Guishuang's large construction, he knew that the opponent would not send troops because he was determined to pass through Tongguan.
