When he got out, seeing Zhao Yun standing outside and not leaving, Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Zilong is really a believer. ”

Zhao Yun said: "Since Du Wei has a word first, he will naturally wait here." ”

Chen Cheng waved his hand and said, "Don't always be a captain and a captain, just call me Chen Cheng, or just call me Wenzheng." ”

He leaned over and said in a low voice: "Actually, my captain is a fake, I haven't been a soldier before, and now I'm a white ding." I didn't even say anything about this matter, and only Zilong, you know, all over the city. ”

Zhao Yun was stunned, looked left and right, and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll call you Wen just right." ”

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "That's right." Is there a clean place in the city? After fighting for a long time, let's rest and rest first. ”

Zhao Yundao: "Naturally, there are, all ..... Wen Zheng is with me. ”

He led the way, and Chen Cheng led the horse behind. After walking for a while, I came to a deserted courtyard. Zhao Yun pushed open the door where Zhu Qi had fallen, and said: "This was originally the official residence of local officials, but later it suffered a great change, and the master's family did not know where to flee, it has been deserted for a long time, and it is the most clean. But there's no popularity here at all, and I don't know if you can't live in it. ”

Chen Cheng said with a smile: "They are all military men, where is there so much exquisiteness?" I think it's pretty good here. ”

The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the eaves of the porch were also full of dead branches and leaves, and the pillars were covered with cobwebs and dust. He loosened the reins, let the war horse go to the courtyard to gnaw grass, wiped the dust on the stone bench and stone table in the pavilion with his sleeve, and said, "I didn't dare to ask more in the hall just now, can Zilong tell me about the recent situation in the city?" Besides, I have always known that General Gongsun is brave and good at fighting, and Bai Ma Yi is unstoppable, how could he be forced into such a situation by Zhang Chunjun? ”

After that, he sat down, put his hand into the placket, took out two pieces of jerky, a pig's trotter, and took out a pot of wine and two wine glasses, and said, "Come, Zilong will eat a glass of wine first." ”

Zhao Yun was stunned as Chen Cheng took out these many things from the placket of his clothes, was stunned for a while, and asked, "Wen Zheng..... But believe in the way of peace? ”

Chen Cheng filled the wine glass, handed it over, and said, "I know a little about Taoism, but it's not a yellow scarf, how can Zilong ask this?" ”

After the Taiping Taoist uprising, because of the yellow scarf on their heads, they were also called the Yellow Turban Army. It is said that some of the followers in the Yellow Turban Army can call the wind and rain and scatter beans into soldiers, and they have many magical spells. Chen Cheng asked knowingly, he clearly knew why Zhao Yun asked this, but he pretended not to know. After the iron armor on his body was put away, there was only one cloth robe in him, where could he put a lot of things?

Zhao Yun was suspicious in his heart, but it was difficult to ask. And he has only eaten black beans every day for most of the month, and he is indeed very hungry, and when he sees the wine and meat, he can't help but swallow his saliva. Seeing this, Chen Cheng said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's all good wine and food." ”

He took a glass first, tilted his head and drank it. After drinking, he smashed his mouth and said, "Could it be that Zilong thinks that this wine is poisonous?" ”

Zhao Yun was provoked by him, picked up the wine glass and poured it. The cold drink fell down his throat, and the fiery sensation rose from his stomach in an instant. Since he drank wine, he simply let go of his suspicions, grabbed his chopsticks and ate a few pieces of meat, then put down his chopsticks, and said, "The reason why our army is trapped here is really ........."

He shook his head and didn't continue, obviously unwilling to speak ill of his superiors, Zhao Yun changed the topic and said, "There are still more than half of the soldiers and horses in the city, and there is no shortage of ordnance, but there is a shortage of food and grass, and war horses ........ Exhausted, he was trapped in the city. ”

"There are still more than half of the soldiers and horses, that is, there are more than 15,000 people?" Chen Cheng pondered for a while and said, "Without horses, why don't you break through to the west?" To the west were mountains, and if you rushed into them, the enemy's cavalry would be useless. ”

Zhao Yun said: "I don't know about this, I think the generals have their own ideas." ”

Chen Cheng smiled dumbly and said, "Is it the idea of sitting in the Troubled City?" ”

He saw that Zhao Yun's face was ugly, so he said again: "Why didn't Zilong eat it?" But not to taste? ”

Zhao Yun pushed away the dishes in front of him and sighed: "Wine and meat are naturally good, but my comrades are hungry every day, how can Yun enjoy it here alone?" ”

"So that's the case," Chen Cheng smiled: "It's okay, just eat." I also brought a lot, and let Zilong bring it back to give everyone a tooth sacrifice. ”

Zhao Yun said: "In this way, I will thank Wenzheng first." ”

He was eight feet tall and ate a lot of food, and after being hungry for a long time, he let go and eat, and it was really like a storm, and he ate two or three catties of meat alone, but he didn't drink wine. Seeing that he was eating boldly, Chen Cheng was even more happy, and said: "The amount of food is so large, and the strength is also very great, very good, very good." ”

Zhao Yun showed a little embarrassment on his face, and said, "Let Wen Zhengjian smile." ”

Chen Cheng smiled heartily: "I am a soldier, and it is a blessing to be able to eat." When the thief army is defeated, I will have a good banquet for Zilong. ”

"Huh," he muttered in his heart, why did this sentence sound so familiar?

Delusion, it must be an illusion!

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "When the enemy army is killed, I should ask Wen Zhengcai." ”

"Haha, it's all right."

While they were talking, Gongsun Chan was also discussing with the generals under his command. Gongsun Zhan stood in a high position and said in a deep voice: "You all heard just now, there are only 1,000 reinforcements, and the imperial court will not send more reinforcements in a short time." What are your opinions? Despite the word. ”

Guan Jing sighed and said: "It's hard to give up for the country, just a few people, and they still run over." But he only has a thousand men in his hands, can he seduce the main force of the thief army to attack? If you save a little food in the city, you can still last for a while. Send all the food, if the decisive battle is unfavorable, there will be no room for turnaround. ”

Among the generals, there are those who support a few days of food and then fight to the death, and there are also those who oppose the light army wave war, that is, Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan, the generals of the Gongsun clan, also hold this diametrically opposite opinion. Everyone quarreled for a while, and then turned their eyes to the head and said, "Please make a decision!" ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Gongsun Zhan's mouth, and he said, "If there are still reinforcements from the imperial court, we can still hold on." But now that it is clear that we can't send more soldiers and horses, how can we defend it? The horses are almost gone, what will be slaughtered next? It just so happened that the wounded soldiers were almost healed, and there were more troops that could be used. ”

He stood up, took two steps in the hall, and shouted: "I have made up my mind, distribute all the food, let the soldiers eat and nourish their strength, and fight the enemy to the death in five days!" ”

When the generals heard this, whether they agreed to the decisive battle or did not agree to the decisive battle, they all pushed away the case in front of them, stood up, and responded in unison: "No! ”

Guan Jing saw that the atmosphere in the hall was tense, so he smiled and said: "Even if you can't completely defeat the thieves, it's good to grab some cattle and sheep back." ”

Hearing this, Gongsun Chan snorted, turned around and went to the back hall. Now that he was gone, the generals also left to prepare for the decisive battle in five days.

Guan Jing couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Gongsun Zhan brushing his sleeves away. He grabbed Yan Gang, who was about to leave, and asked in a low voice, "General Yan, why is the lord suddenly angry?" Did I say the wrong thing? ”

Yan Gang was pulled by his sleeve, and he couldn't break free, so he had to say helplessly: "Mr. Guan, as soon as you said that just now, the generals' thoughts of deciding to die faded. That is, the lord cherishes you, and if you change it to someone else, you may be beheaded for the crime of shaking morale. ”

Guan Jing then understood, with a look of remorse on his face, he let go of his hand, and said, "I.... I...... I didn't mean that, no, I have to talk to the Lord! ”

After that, he stomped his foot and chased after Gongsun Zhan's back.

Seeing Guan Jinghuo leave in a hurry, Yan Gang couldn't help but shake his head again and again. Mr. Kwan is resourceful and loyal, but he does not know how to fight and likes to speak nonsense...... Alas, he shook his head again and walked out. Bai Ma Yicong is the most elite army under Gongsun Zhan, although there are few horses now, but who said that you can't fight without horses? Five days later, they are still the vanguard!

Moreover, I don't know how many people in later generations prefer no horse to have a horse.

Chen Cheng talked with Zhao Yun for a while, then fed the war horses, slept for another whole day, and rushed out of the west gate when it was getting late. Zhang Chunjun was busy for a long time during the day before he pressed the chaotic situation down, and he was already tired. Although the generals above were furious and ordered to strengthen the vigilance and no longer allow officers and soldiers to enter and leave the city, where could those tired rangers stop Chen Cheng?

Although the siege has a psychological advantage, how can living in a tent in the wilderness be as comfortable as living in the city? Those Hu people are used to this kind of life, but their combat effectiveness is too poor. The rebel soldiers can fight, but their numbers are too small.

Relying on the speed of his horse and the strength of his bow, Chen Cheng shot over three enemy soldiers and rushed out of the open space between the camps.

In the largest camp, when he heard the soldiers report that a horse had broken through the interception and escaped, Zhang Chun was so angry that he kicked over the desk in front of him and scolded: "Are you all pigs? Pigs are smarter than you! It was said that it is necessary to strengthen vigilance, strengthen vigilance, which is good, within a day, let people in and out! ”

"What are you doing here? Toilets? Come when you want, go when you want? He picked up the lance and said angrily: "Chase, even if I chase to the ends of the earth, I have to kill that guy!" ”

So saying, he rushed out of the big tent, jumped on his horse, and rushed out with a horse. Behind him, the rebel horsemen mounted their horses in their saddles, whipped their mounts with whips, and followed. There were also some generals and colonels, shouting loudly, driving the Wuhuan people to step forward to intercept them. These Hu people, although they can't attack cities or field battles, they have lived on horseback since they were children, and their riding skills are superb one by one. As long as it's not just frontal, they're still useful.

For example, now, they are used to chase and kill officers and soldiers.
