Princes and generals, rather have a kind! ------- Sima Qian's Historical Records. Chen Shi Family》

It is said that Zhang Ning cut his hair and acted as the head, and strictly ordered to kill the soldiers who violated military regulations, and the military discipline was purged for a while. The Yellow Turban Army marched at dawn and night, bypassing the state and county, and went straight to Changshan County. In the carriage, Zhang Ning showed the weak side of women, and Chen Long comforted him in every way, and he was also warm and charming along the way.

After three days of marching, they arrived at Zhoutou Township on the night of this day, and it was only fifty miles away from Xiaquyang. Zhang Ning ordered to set up Zhaishan, plant more antlers, and set up a camp to be vigilant. Outside Zhang Ning's jade tent, Lu Chang and Hu Ji were guarding with knives, the lights in the jade tent were bright, Zhang Ning, Chen Long, and Zhou Budo stood in front of them, and there was a marching map on them.

Chen Long, who was behind him, glanced at the map and said: "The surrounding areas of Xiaquyang are all plains, and the terrain is flat, which is suitable for the Ma army to fight. How many horsemen do we have at the moment? ”

"The yellow turbans are poor, and the horses are expensive supplies, all of which were stolen from the previously broken states and counties. Of my army, only 1,000 are horse troops. Zhang Ning frowned.

Chen Long said: "In this case, Ma Jun can only be used for harassment. Dong Zhuojun besieged Xiaquyang, the situation was unknown, and it was difficult to decide the direction of the attack. After Lu Chang and I went to the enemy camp to reconnoitre, infiltrated the encirclement, entered Xiaquyang, and agreed with General Digong that we should cooperate with the outside in the weak place before we could break the enemy in one fell swoop. Zhou Budo and Zhang Ning both nodded yes.

Chen Long asked Lu Chang to prepare a night suit, Zhang Ning told Ai Lang to be careful, and the two sneaked in from the field southeast of Xiaquyang at night. At a position about twenty miles away from the county seat, the two of them looked from the green gauze tent, and saw that there was a continuous camp tent on the opposite side, which was Dong Zhuo's besieging troops.

The two observed Dong Zhuo's camp and saw that the southeast side of the village was neat and tightly defended, and they knew that it was the focus of Dong Zhuo's defense, so they did not let Zhang Bao break through from the south and join Zhang Jiao's army. The two of them walked along the tent, and along the road were green gauze tents, which were easy to hide, and the unripe ears of sorghum rice had already produced small gara.

When they went around to the east, the lights of the tent disappeared, and the two of them climbed to the top of the tree to take a look, and saw that there was another tent light not far away, knowing that it was a gap between the two camps. Chen Long and the others drilled when they saw the cracks, using the cover of the night to stop and walk in the gaps, and encountered many trenches on the road, and both of them jumped over. Occasionally, some soldiers crossed the camp, both of whom were of the quality of high-ranking scouts, and managed to escape through the trenches.

In this way, he passed through the camp without any danger and did not alarm Dong Zhuo's soldiers. When he came to the black-pressed city wall of Xiaquyang, Lu Chang was about to call the soldiers at the head of the city to open the door, Chen Long smiled and said, "Lu Chang, you don't need to call people. You've always been known for your light skills, so why not give it a try? ”

Lu saw that the city wall was not tall, so he hung up, nodded and jumped up, and Chen Long shouted softly: "Playing Laipi!" "The last to come first, all fluttering on the battlements.

The two of them looked down on the battlements, and saw that the soldiers were sleeping on the battlements, and even the torches were thrown aside and extinguished. The two looked at each other and smiled, jumped over the city wall, and entered the county seat of Xiaquyang without knowing it.

Lu Chang asked, "Lord, why don't you make a noise?" ”

Chen Long said: "Since no one in the city has found us, I think we should continue to be invisible." Zhang Ning's secret attack this time, the more secretive the better, in order to achieve the effect of surprise soldiers. In case someone mutinies, the news that someone will enter the city to contact Zhang Bao will be revealed, and Dong Zhuo will take precautions. Lu Chang nodded in convincing.

The two guessed that Zhang Bao liked pomp and circumstance, and would inevitably choose the City Lord's Mansion as a stronghold. The two of them went around and around, and when they came to the city lord's mansion, they saw that there were two red lights in front of the gate of the city lord's mansion, and there were several yellow scarves standing guard. Chen Long vaguely remembered that one of them was Zhang Bao's personal guard, and said to Lu Chang: "This is it." ”

The two went around to the backyard of the city lord's mansion, and saw that the guards were very lax, and jumped in from the wall. There were only two rows of houses in the small city lord's mansion, and Chen Long pointed to the bedroom where two soldiers stood at the door and said, "This is too obvious." ”

According to Chen Long's instructions, Chen Long and the others jumped from the back of the bedroom to the roof, rolled down the curtain from the rain eaves in front, and cut one palm at the back of the necks of the two guards, and the two soldiers fell silently. The bedroom was not locked, and the two quietly entered the room, and saw a person on the couch with a big mouth open and snoring loudly, it was Zhang Bao.

Lu Chang said softly: "If you wake him up, will you shout loudly and leak Xingzang?" Chen Long saw Zhang Bao's torn yellow turban thrown at the head of the bed, grinned, picked it up and stuffed it into Zhang Bao's open mouth.

Zhang Bao woke up from his dream and saw two black shadows holding his hands and feet, thinking that they were Dong Zhuo's assassins, and only said that his life was instantaneous. When he opened his mouth, he was about to scream, but he couldn't make a sound when he whimpered, thinking that he had hit some magic barrier.

Chen Long took out the fire and shook it, lit the candle next to him, stretched out his head in front of Zhang Bao, and made a silent gesture. Only then did Zhang Bao see Long Chen clearly, and he smiled for a while. Chen Long pulled out the broken yellow scarf in Zhang Bao's mouth, Zhang Bao spat out thick phlegm, stretched out his hand and snorted Chen Long's head, and said angrily: "It's you kid!" ”

Chen Long laughed, Zhang Bao knew that this kid was the meat of the eldest brother and niece's heart, and he had nothing to do with him. He smiled and said, "Good boy, why did you come in unnoticed?" But the big brother's reinforcements have arrived? ”

Chen Long glanced at Lu Chang, and Lu Chang understood, and went outside to drag the two dead dogs guarding the door in to prevent them from waking up and barking. Chen Long smiled and said to Zhang Bao: "Digong, your city defense is too sparse, what if Dong Zhuo touches in?" ”

Zhang Bao's face was a little unbearable, and he said hatefully: "I'll clean up these bastards tomorrow." Isn't this also a tiring day of fighting, let's talk quickly, how many reinforcements have come from the eldest brother? I can't even hold it out here. ”

"It's not Tiangong, it's Mei Niang who led 10,000 troops, and basically didn't leak the goal of the march, just waited for a kilometer to join forces and crush Dong Zhuo's encirclement in one fell swoop."

Zhang Bao was open-mouthed, and said happily: "Your wife is here, and your kid is naturally coming, haha." Chen Long rolled his eyes, thinking that you are the one who eats soft rice, and I can't even look down on the few pieces of your yellow scarf.

Zhang Bao fixed his mind and continued: "My city defense here is the tightest in the south and east, and Zhending City is in the west. Only to the north, there were almost no siege troops. ”

Hearing this, Long Chen nodded and said, "In this case, the Digong can secretly mobilize the troops and put part of the main force in Beicheng." I'll go back and inform Mei Niang, the day after tomorrow, the local prince heard the shouts outside, the camp was on fire, and he could be killed from the north gate, and Zhang Ning's troops could be attacked inside and outside, and they could win a complete victory. ”

Zhang Bao nodded when he heard this, and then asked, "After the killing, where should I retreat?" ”

Chen Long said: "Our purpose is to move south to Guangzong and join Tiangong. After the North Gate breaks through, the North Gate Keeper should notify Dong Zhuo as soon as possible; Dong Zhuo's heavy troops were in the east and south, and they would inevitably intercept them from the east of Xiaquyang, and at the same time, the soldiers from the south would enter the city to facilitate his troop transfer. On the contrary, Xue Li's side may not be reported in time, and it is estimated that there is no defense, so we will pass through the gap between Changshan Junzhi and Xia Quyang with lightning speed, even if Xue Li sends troops, it will not be difficult to resist the five thousand army. When Dong Zhuo's army to the east and the army entering the city learned that we broke through Xue Li to the south, it would be too late to turn back and pursue. ”

Zhang Bao saw that Chen Long was using a good plan, and sighed: "My niece is really discerning. Well, let's do it according to Wenlong's plan! ”

Chen Long thought for a while and said: "I will arrange thousands of men and horses to ambush on the route of the Digong's retreat, to ensure that Dong Zhuo and Xue Li suffer a big loss, Digong, then we will withdraw!" ”

After Zhang Bao waited for Chen Long and them to leave, he slapped the two guards awake, scolded a bloody dog, and personally went to the city to scold the guards without mentioning it.

Zhang Ning was in the jade tent, sleepless late at night, and had been waiting anxiously for Chen Long to come back. Seeing that Chen Long came back safely, Fang was relieved. After listening to Chen Long's report, he said, "Brother Long's arrangement is very proper. I'll arrange for the men and horses to go to the ambush site and set up an ambush first. ”

Chen Long asked Lu Chang to call Hu Ji and Zhou Budo. When everyone arrived, he pointed to the map and said to Zhang Ning: "You can send a general, lead two thousand troops, and ambush it in Meihua Town; Another general was sent to lead 2,000 troops to Hancun Town to ambush; Just wait for the army to pass, and blitz the pursuers. None of them can fall in love with the war, avoid fighting with Dong Zhuo's army, jump out of the battle circle when the enemy is attacked and chaotic, flee to the west, and lead away the pursuers to return to Guangzong to converge. Zhang Ning nodded and was taught, and immediately called the herald to order all the generals to gather in the jade tent, and the army was to be pulled out overnight.

Chen Long said to Lu Chang and Hu Ji: "Yuan Zhi and I have to go to Zhending Mansion. The two of you are responsible for guarding the safety of the Holy Maiden, and you must not have half a point in the pool. The two of them agreed in unison.

Zhang Ning asked, "Brother Long, do you still want to go to Zhending Mansion to do something?" There was disappointment. Chen Long said: "With the protection of Lu Chang and the others, everything can be guaranteed." After Mei Niang received the landlord, as long as she followed the predetermined route, it would not be a problem to return to Guangzong. I have a friend, it's a real person, I want to ask the charm girl to give me a few days off, I see this friend and go back. ”

"What kind of friend? So you must see it, it won't be a girlfriend. Zhang Ning said quietly.

Zhou Budo and the others heard it with a black line, thinking that the sister-in-law was jealous, so it would be better to hide first. Ignoring Chen Long's gaze for help, they all handed over their hands without paying attention to righteousness.

Chen Long couldn't wait to kick them a few times, but when he saw Zhang Ning's big eyes disappearing, he stared at himself, so he had to report truthfully: "It's to meet a hero in the world who has been loved for a long time." This person's surname is Zhao Mingyun Zilong, he is a disciple of the spear master Tong Yuan, and his martial arts are superb, and I want to ask him to help me dominate the world, and he is a big handsome guy. ”

Zhang Ning heard that he was a handsome guy, but he didn't worry about Chen Long's orientation, and his eyes softened slightly: "Why is Wenlong so clear about the distribution of talents in the world?" I've never heard of Zhao Yun. ”

Chen Long said embarrassedly: "It's not my immortal master who told me before I left the mountain." Zhao Yun is my favorite general, living too far away from Lingling, I thought I wouldn't have the chance to see it, but it happened that I was here to rescue Mei Niang, if I missed it, it would be a lifelong regret. ”

Zhang Ning's eyes were like silk, and she frowned: "I am really curious about the military general who can make Long Lang so favorite, I want to see how handsome this Zhao Zilong is?" You and Yuan Zhi will go. Chen Long heard a black line, and he really didn't mention it as a visual animal.

The Yellow Turban army drove out overnight, Zhang Ning took the remaining 6,000 soldiers to run for a day, arrived to the north of Xiaquyang, hid the soldiers and horses, and just waited for the time to arrive, and launched a surprise attack, and Zhang Bao attacked inside and outside. Seeing that everything was arranged, Chen Long said goodbye to Mei Niang, and Zhou Budo dressed up in light hats and went straight to Zhending County, north of Changshan County.
