Outside the castle of Rinyama, the hill is in the camp,

"You said Zhang Chun is ready to retire?" Qiu Liju looked at the soldiers around him in surprise, he was a little incredulous.

At first, the pro-soldiers didn't believe that this was the enemy's delaying tactic, until they personally received the person sent by Zhang Chun to deliver the news, and the person who came was Zhang Chun's confidant, and the pro-soldiers had seen it, so they had to believe it.

"Zhang Chun is ready to give up like this, not to mention the grain and grass consumed during this time, is it possible that tens of thousands of brothers have been sacrificed in vain, and we have nothing to catch." Qiu Liju was a little unwilling, sacrificing tens of thousands of horses and horses, not to mention, and didn't catch anything, so he ran for nothing.

"My lord, the person sent by General Zhang Chun said very clearly, now that the imperial court has put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zhang Jiao, the great sage and good teacher of the Yellow Turban, died of illness in the army, and Zhang Liangbu was also broken by Huangfu Song, and now he is rushing to Quyang, presumably it is only a matter of time before Zhang Bao is eliminated. Once the imperial court exterminated the Yellow Turbans, it would attack us, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Yellow Turbans only lasted for more than half a year before they were exterminated, and we and Zhang Chun combined are now less than 150,000. My lord, now that the Han Court is strong, we will retreat to Liaoxi first to avoid the edge, once the Han Court army comes, we will not be able to leave if we want to. The pro-soldier said to Qiu Liju.

Qiu Liju thought for a while, and now he had to retreat, although he was unwilling, he still let his own soldiers go down to arrange the retreat.

In the camp of Xu Wutang Zheng,

"Childe has an army from the direction of Wuzhong, and there are still 30 miles away from Xu Wu." Zhang Chao said to Tang Zheng that the enemy had not attacked the city in the past few days, and Tang Zheng was also happy to be idle.

"From nowhere? See how many people there are? Whose banner is it flying? Tang Zheng asked, he was very curious that Wuzhong hadn't heard of the existence of a large army, otherwise it would not have been his turn to rescue Wuzhong, I heard that the imperial court sent Sun Jian to lead 20,000 people to support Youbeiping, but he shouldn't have come from Wuzhong.

"According to the report from the spies, this is a large army of about 30,000 people, and the flag is Han on one side and Sun on the other." Hearing this, Tang Zheng knew that it was really Sun Jian, but how could he never end up, and he still had 30,000 troops in his hands, not that there were only 20,000 troops in the newspaper, why did there be more than 10,000 people.

Don't worry about it for now, you will know what is going on when you arrive, and now the main thing is to discuss with Gongsun Zan and Jiang Chen how to arrange the people brought by Sun Jian.

Tang Zheng took Zhang Chao to the county office. Tang Zheng and Zhang Chao met Gongsun Zhan, Yan Gang and Zhao Yun as soon as they entered the yamen.

Tang Zheng and Gongsun Zhan greeted each other and walked towards the hall together.

"Brother Gongsun, I was about to send someone to call you, but I didn't expect Brother Gongsun to come by himself."

"Hahaha, isn't Brother Tang also here for Sun Jian?" Gongsun Zhan first laughed three times, and then asked Tang Zheng.

"Brother Gongsun, it's hard for so many people to think about it."

"Yes, I was confused."

"I don't know what arrangements Brother Gongsun has for Sun Jian's arrival?" Tang Zheng asked Gongsun Zhan.

"Brother Tang is here for this?" Gongsun Chan asked in surprise.

"Yes, Sun Sima led the army from afar and worked tirelessly to help me in Youbeiping, how can we treat Sun Sima well."

"What Tang Gongzi said is very much, the lower official let the captain and Tang Gongzi wait for a long time, and they are ashamed." At this time, Jiang Chen, who had just arrived at the door, echoed after hearing what Tang Zheng said, and at the same time bowed his hand to Gongsun Zan and Tang Zheng.

"Lord Jiang is polite, it's me and Brother Tang who take the liberty to disturb." Gongsun Zhan and Tang Zheng also got up and returned the salute to Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen repeatedly said that he didn't dare to be, and after the three of them sat down, Jiang Chen said: "I don't know what arrangements the two of you have for Sun Sima to come, now they are already thirty miles away." ”

"I don't know much about Sun Sima, everything is subject to the arrangements of Master Jiang and Brother Gongsun." Tang Zheng said.

"Master Jiang is Xu Wu's parents, and Brother Tang and I just listen to Master Jiang's arrangement." Gongsun Chan also expressed his obedience to Jiang Chen's arrangement.

"Since this is the case, then I will not give in, when I think of it, when Sun Sima arrives, I will first arrange the people and horses to Tang Gongzi's military camp, Tang Gongzi's military camp is big enough and close to the city gate. I also reacted in a timely manner if there was any situation, I don't know what Tang Gongzi wanted. Jiang Chen said to Tang Zheng.

"Since Master Jiang has arranged it like this, I don't have any problem."

"Okay, since the people and horses have been arranged, let's talk about the arrangements for Sun Sima." Jiang Chen said to Tang Zheng and Gongsun Zhan.

"What arrangements Master Jiang has, just say it directly, Brother Tang and I will just listen to Lord Jiang's arrangements." Gongsun Chan said.

"Yes, Lord Jiang, don't be polite, I don't know anything about Sun Sima." Tang Zheng agreed.

"I don't know much about Sun Sima, otherwise we'll wait for him to arrive and see what he has to say." Jiang Chen said.

Gongsun Zhan looked at Tang Zheng and Jiang Chen both looking at him, he quickly shook his head and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know anything about this person, since that's the case, let's wait until Sun Sima arrives." The three of them glanced at each other, and finally decided to wait for Sun Jian to arrive.

"I was at the door just now, and I heard what Brother Gongsun said didn't seem to be here for Sun Jian's arrival." Tang Zheng said to Gongsun Zhan.

"Hahaha, sure enough, Brother Tang is Brother Tang, and I actually know from what I said that I didn't come for Sun Jian."

"Oh, what's that? I thought that the captain of the cavalry, like Tang Gongzi, came for Sun Jian's business. Jiang Chen is also very curious, Xu Wu has not had any major events recently, and Zhang Chun has also been cowering in the camp recently, and he has not come to harass Xu Wu, so there should be nothing wrong.

"Hehe, I don't believe that Brother Tang really didn't find out." Gongsun Zhan looked at Tang Zheng with a smile, Tang Zheng glanced at Jiang Chen in confusion, and found that Jiang Chen was also confused.

Gongsun Zhan looked at Tang Zheng and then looked at Jiang Chen, and found that the expressions of the two of them didn't seem to be fake, so he said, "It seems that Brother Tang really didn't pay attention." ”

"Brother Gongsun, I have been in the injured barracks for the past few days, and Zhang Chun has not moved in the past few days, so I have relaxed my vigilance against the outside affairs, if there is anything missing, Brother Gongsun, please let me know." Tang Zheng said to Gongsun Zhan.

"So that's the case, since Brother Tang didn't pay attention, then I'll tell Brother Tang. I don't know if Brother Tang has noticed that the enemy is quiet and terrible in the past few days, and there are still small teams of people and horses attacking and harassing at the beginning, but in the past few days, even the team of people Zhang Chun has not been sent, don't Brother Tang think it is strange? Gongsun Chan said to Tang Zheng.

"What's so strange about this, Zhang Chun must have been beaten, and he has been discussing countermeasures for the past few days, and he has no time to harass us." Jiang Chen said nonchalantly, he wished that the enemy would be as quiet as possible.

"No, it shouldn't be like that." Tang Zheng said with a frown.

"Lord Jiang is not the one who leads the troops, and it is understandable that he doesn't know the reason, if Brother Tang, you can't see through it, then it won't make sense." Gongsun Chan said.

The more Jiang Chen listened, the more confused he became, he didn't understand why he didn't know it for granted. Although he couldn't figure it out, he also knew that they were talking about the military formation, so he didn't intervene again.

"Brother Gongsun let me think about it first." Tang Zheng said to Gongsun Zhan, and then he thought carefully about what happened during this time.

A few days ago, the enemy also sent scouts outside, and they didn't even send scouts out in the past two days, which shouldn't be, it stands to reason that as long as the scouts are led outside, they must be released anyway, in addition to preventing the enemy from stealing the camp, they can also know the enemy's movements, Zhang Chun will not know these simple truths, even if their battalion is heavily guarded, it is impossible not to let the scouts go.

In the past few days, Zhang Chun's camp has not moved much, and it is much quieter than usual, not like it is discussing things, unless the entire battalion has been evacuated.

Suddenly, Tang Zheng thought of something, patted his head and said, "I know what's going on." ”

"Oh, Brother Tang figured it out." Gongsun Zhan said to Tang Zheng with a smile.

"Brother Gongsun, under the influence of the wounded soldiers in the past few days, he actually forgot such an important thing, I think it is Zhang Chun who knows that the imperial court has quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and he is afraid that the imperial court will mobilize an army to clean him up."

"Brother Tang is really not simple, you are right, Zhang Chun has already run away, I found out that it was wrong yesterday, and I sent scouts to take a look this morning, and sure enough, only some wounded soldiers in the enemy camp can go, and all of them are gone. Hey, let Zhang Chun and his party go in vain. Gongsun Chan said with a sigh.

"Brother Gongsun, this is no way, even if we know that the enemy is retreating, we don't have the strength to pursue, how many soldiers do you have now, I don't need to say more. Zhang Chun just knew that we didn't have many troops, so he was relieved to withdraw his troops boldly, if he wasn't afraid of the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army, I think it would be a question whether Xu Wu and Xu Wu could hold it. ”

"I don't know, the war has reached this point, and we really don't have many soldiers, if only Sun Jian could arrive a day earlier, so that Zhang Chun's big harm can be completely solved." Jiang Chen on the side understood what was going on now.

However, he also knew that as Tang Zheng said, it was a fluke to be able to hold Xu Wu now, and he didn't expect to be able to calm Zhang Chun and the others in one fell swoop.

The three of them looked at each other silently, and then Zhang Chao walked in from outside and said to Tang Zheng: "Son, just now Brother Cheng sent someone to say that Qiu Liju of Rinshan has withdrawn. Tang Zheng nodded and said he understood.

"It seems that Sun Jian has run for nothing now, and the danger of Youbeiping has been solved." Gongsun Chan said with a smile.

"It can't be regarded as a trip for nothing, if it weren't for him leading 30,000 troops to support, maybe we would still be surrounded by Zhang Chun and others now." Jiang Chen also said with a smile.

The enemy withdrew, Jiang Chen didn't feel any regrets, as long as he could ensure that Xu Wu would not lose it, he felt that it was a great achievement.

"Well, since the enemy has withdrawn now that there is nothing to do, then I will go back first to prepare to return to Rinshan, the soldiers have been out for more than half a year, but I don't know how to explain to the families of those sacrificed soldiers when I go back, when I come out, more than 10,000 people can go back now less than 3,000." Listening to Tang Zheng's words, Gongsun Zan and Jiang Chen didn't speak, although it is normal to die in battle, but looking at the brothers who get along with him day and night, no one feels uncomfortable.

Tang Zheng got up and said goodbye to Gongsun Chan and Jiang Chen, turned around and went back to his camp, and when he saw Tang Zheng leaving, Gongsun Chan also felt that it was not interesting to stay here, and he went back to his own camp.

Jiang Chen looked at Tang Zheng and Gongsun Zan who left, and he didn't keep him, now that the enemy has withdrawn, there are still many things waiting for him, the parent official, to do.
