Chapter 174: Gather the Defeated Army

On the battlefield, Zhang Yan led a small number of men and horses from his headquarters to rush left and right in the Northern Route Army, but the Northern Route Army had nothing to do with him. But Zhang Yan's men were too few to break through the encirclement of the Northern Route Army for a while, so the two sides fought a tug-of-war.

At this time, Zhang Shumo and Pang Yuan finally arrived with someone. Seeing that Zhang Yan was besieged by the Northern Route Army, Pang Yuan led people to kill him: "The people of the Northern Route Army retreat, I will deal with this person!" ”

Pang Yuan was originally a general in the Northern Route Army, and now Zhang Shumo and Peng Mao are also in a cooperative relationship, so when Pang Yuan shouted like this, the people of the Northern Route Army obediently gave way and let Pang Yuan come to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan looked at Pang Yuan, and then looked at Zhang Shumo: "I know that Zhang Gongzi is scheming, how can he be easily defeated." But Zhang Gongzi has ever thought that you are aiding the abuse! ”

Zhang Shumo shook his head: "General Zhang's words are bad!" Comparing Liu Ye to a businessman before is naturally understandable. But now Liu Ye is leading the Northern Route Army to resist the invasion of Jingguo, and for a soldier, Liu Ye is at least dutiful. On the other hand, Su Yi, since he inherited the position of General Su Han, he should start from the overall situation, and not take advantage of Liu Ye's resistance to the invasion of other countries, and stab him in the back! In the face of national justice, what is a personal grievance? ”

After listening to Zhang Shumo's words, Zhang Yan was silent. He agreed with Zhang Shumo's words in his heart, but morally speaking, he was still a member of the Northwest Army. The Northwest Army should listen to General Zhenxi! So Zhang Yan slowly raised the silver spear: "You're right, but as a member of the Northwest Army, I must also fulfill my duty!" Without further ado, let's do it! ”

After speaking, Zhang Yan took a gun and rushed towards Zhang Shumo. Pang Yuan slapped his horse and blocked Zhang Yan's silver spear with a knife, and the two fought together.

At this time, Jiang Bin escorted Su Yi back, and when he saw that the soldiers had not caught Zhang Yan, he shouted loudly: "The enemy will stop, obediently tie his hands and arrest him, otherwise I will kill Su Yi!" ”

Zhang Yan hurriedly looked at it, Su Yi was dragged behind Jiang Bin with his hands tied, and he had become a prisoner. Zhang Yan sighed, gave up resistance, and was captured.

Jiang Bin knew that the plan this time was all made by Zhang Shumo, so he arched his hand to express his gratitude. I already admired Zhang Shumo in my heart, no wonder even General Liu Ye would suffer in his hands before, this kid is simply exhausted.

Seeing this, Zhang Shumo stopped Jiang Bin: "This general, I don't know what you plan to do with Su Yi?" ”

Jiang Bin pursed his lips: "Naturally, it was handed over to General Liu for disposal." ”

"This general, this plan is a proposal under the order, so Su Yi is also a part of the credit for being arrested, so does he also have the right to dispose of Su Yi?" Zhang Shumo said.

Jiang Bin frowned: Zhang Shumo is sharp-toothed, and he definitely can't argue with him, so he simply won't argue with him. Thinking of this, Jiang Bin pointed at Zhang Yan and said, "Where did you come from so much nonsense." I know that person has something to do with you, so that person will be handed over to you to dispose of, and Su Yi will be dealt with by us! ”

Zhang Shumo laughed after hearing this: "The general's words are not right, why do you deal with the general, we can only deal with one captain?" But I also know that you can't be the master, so I won't talk to the general, and ask the general to go back and bring a message to Peng Mao, just to explain that when the day comes, our two armies will discuss the disposal of prisoners before the battle. If you don't, we'll have to take the prisoners!" ”

Waiting for Jiang Bin to leave, Zhang Yan said to Zhang Shumo as soon as possible: "Zhang Gongzi, you must rescue General Su." General Su will definitely die if he falls into the hands of Liu Ye! ”

Zhang Shumo nodded: "Don't worry, Peng Mao doesn't dare to kill Su Yi now, otherwise there will be really chaos in the northwest." But even if Peng Mao handed over Su Yi to me, I wouldn't let him go back, my people can't die in vain, someone has to be responsible! ”

Hearing Zhang Shumo's words, Zhang Yan showed a trace of worry on his face. Zhang Shumo smiled bitterly when he saw it: I didn't expect Zhang Yan to be so loyal, it seems that it is a little difficult to let him join him. Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo couldn't help but ask, "I don't know what General Zhang's plans are now?" ”

"Now?" Zhang Yan was a little stunned: "I'm a prisoner of Gongzi now, what else can I do?" ”

Zhang Shumo smiled: "How can there be any captives between you and me?" If the general wants to leave, he can leave on his own! ”

Zhang Yan thought for a while: "I'll stay with Gongzi for the time being, and wait until the whereabouts of General Su are determined before making a decision." ”

On the other side, Pan Feng, who had escaped, gathered a lot of defeated troops along the way, and with men and horses in his hands, Pan Feng also started to think: he left Su Yi to escape, if this matter is transmitted back to Xu Liang, he will be dealt with by military law, so this Xu Liangcheng himself will not be able to go back. And the Northern Route Army has a family feud with him, and he can't say anything about it, looking at the northwest, he can only go to Zhang Shumo! Now that Zhang Shumo is a major general, if he can lead people to submit to him, maybe he can be reused!

Thinking of this, Pan Feng said to his soldiers: "Brothers! Let's leave Su Yi to escape this time, even if we return to Xu Liangcheng, we will be dealt with by military law, so we can't go back to this Xu Liangcheng! I heard that Zhang Shumo was recruiting, so I wanted to take refuge in him, I don't know what your brothers think? ”

The soldiers had long since lost their minds, so they responded: "We want to follow the general!" ”

"Good! In this case, let's gather people at various intersections, the more people we go to defect, the more Zhang Shumo attaches importance to us! After Pan Feng finished speaking, he arranged for personnel to begin to collect the fleeing rout, and he understood that the more people he brought, the more attention he received.

Zhang Shumo's division returned to the camp and ordered someone to count the casualties in the battle. More than 3,000 soldiers were killed or wounded, more than 800 enemy soldiers were captured, and more than 100 horses were captured.

Hearing this casualty number, Zhang Shumo was distressed. It is more difficult for me to pull up the team on my side, and now I have to take Xiu Wuzhi back, and I am afraid that I will lose a lot of people. Just thinking about the problem, Pang Yuan hurriedly came to report: "Childe, there is a group of people and horses coming towards our camp, I don't know who it is." ”

Zhang Shumo's eyes narrowed, and he immediately ordered Pang Yuan to lead the troops out of the camp.

Not long after, Pan Feng appeared in Zhang Shumo's field of vision with the remnants of the army, looking at this group of men and horses with no fighting spirit, Zhang Shumo wondered: "It's strange, how can they be so scattered, it's not like they are attacking the camp." ”

At this time, Pan Feng shouted at everyone: "Is Zhang Gongzi ahead? The last general, Pan Feng, came to surrender with a military horse! ”

When Zhang Shumo heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately led someone to greet him. Pan Feng came to Zhang Shumo's horse, and hurriedly dismounted and hugged his fists: "The last general Pan Feng has seen Zhang Gongzi, and I heard that Gongzi is a hero in the world, so he came to surrender with a military horse!" ”。

Zhang Shumo hurriedly helped Pan Feng up: "The general came to vote, it is really a blessing for our army!" I wonder how many men the general brought? ”

"Back to Gongzi, the last general brought more than 4,000 people!"
