Chapter 202: Ambush Zhang Zhao!
"Quan Er is resourceful and ambitious, if he inherits Wu Hou's position, he should be able to protect my Jiangdong foundation from loss. Hey, I believe that if Ce'er has a will, he will also want to let Quan Er inherit his inheritance. Shao'er is too young after all, and it may be a blessing or a curse for him to succeed to the throne in such troubled times, I believe that their mother and son can also understand my hardships! ”
Old Madam Sun muttered a few words as if talking to herself, and she also made up her mind in her heart.
"Since the gentleman has an idea, let's do it! The 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Dantu camp are the foundation of my Jiangdong, although they are temporarily under the control of Demou, but I still have some peace of mind in my heart, so I bother Mr. to go to the Dantu camp first, if there is a gentleman in it, I want to come to the army will be able to calm down a lot. ”
Zhang Zhao saw that Mrs. Sun had made up her mind, and her heart was also a little easier, if the second son could successfully inherit Wu Hou's position, he would definitely be able to calm down quickly when he came to Jiangdong, and even if Yuan Yao led the army to attack, I Jiangdong had more than 100,000 troops in town, and I could be fearless!
"No, the minister will live up to the trust of the old lady and the grace of the lord!"
Old Madam Sun thought for a moment and continued: "In addition, after you arrive at Dantu, you will first go to the city to meet Quan'er, so that he can prepare for the succession. ”
If nothing else, Sun Quan will be Wu Hou in the future, and if he can tell him the good news in advance and marry him first, Zhang Zhao is naturally very happy in his heart. Mrs. Sun knew the importance of Zhang Zhao to the current situation in Jiangdong, as long as Zhang Zhao could support Sun Quan, then the Jiangdong scribes would not make any trouble, and let Zhang Zhao and Sun Quan make friends first, which was also a means for her to win over and appease Zhang Zhao.
"The minister is ordered, the second son is talented and intelligent, and he will definitely be able to sit in the position of Wu Hou!"
"I am relieved to have Mr.'s words, now that the situation is urgent, Mr. will set off first, I will make a little preparation, and I will lead the Sun clan to Dantu early tomorrow morning."
"No, the minister retires, and asks the old lady to mourn and change!"
……
After Zhang Zhao left Wu Houfu, he didn't have time to go home to explain, and transferred a light cavalry from the military camp and went straight to Dantu, most of the Wu County garrison had been transferred by Sun Ce to the Dantu camp, and now the Wu County camp only left 5,000 defenders, of which only 500 light cavalry could be called. Zhang Zhao thought in his heart that the news of Sun Ce's death should not have been spread yet, and the place where the Dantu passed from Wu County to Dantu was the hinterland of Jiangdong, and the rebellious army and thieves had been swept away by Jiangdong soldiers and horses, and this section of the road should be relatively safe, so Zhang Zhao did not mobilize many soldiers and horses, and only took away a hundred light horsemen as an escort.
Jinyi Wei has already lurked near the city gate, seeing Zhang Zhaoqin led a hundred iron horsemen out of the city in a hurry, Jinyi Wei Sentinel hurriedly sent the news back to the guard, but after a while, another carrier pigeon flew out of the courtyard and flew straight to Wuxi.
Zhang Zhao led a hundred light horsemen all the way to Dantu, and the speed of the people was extremely fast, but it took more than an hour to reach the vicinity of Wuxi.
There is only one big road to go from Wu County to Dantu, you must pass through Xishan near Wuxi, Xishan is a small peak raised at the break of the eastern peak of Huishan, but it is only thirty or forty zhang high, in which the mountains and forests are luxuriant, if it is a good resting place in the summer, in the winter years, this hill does not attract attention. The official road from Wu County to Dantu passed at the foot of Xishan, and the hundred dead soldiers of Jinyiwei were also ambushed here, with the help of the withered mountain forest as a cover, and the passers-by passing by the official road for a while were difficult to detect the ambush in the mountains.
The fast horse that went to Wu County from Dantu to deliver the message had already been discovered by the Jinyi Guard, coupled with the news sent by the carrier pigeon, Zhang Zhao had already led a hundred iron horsemen out of the city to Dantu, and the Jinyi Guard ambushed the time, and it was estimated that Zhang Zhao should be here soon, and everyone was ready for an ambush.
"Qianhu, a team of iron horsemen from Wu County, about a hundred people, will arrive at us in half an hour!"
This operation is very important, and the Jiangdong Guard Office sent a deputy Qianhu to preside over this operation, this deputy Qianhu is also Yuan Yao's personal guard background, and he is loyal to Yuan Yao, and he has already made up his mind in his heart, even if he fights for everyone's lives, he will definitely leave Zhang Zhao's life!
Deputy Qianhu was ambushed halfway up the mountainside, and also found the billowing smoke and dust, and said: "Calculate the time, someone from Wu County should also arrive, Zhang Zhao's old treacherous and cunning is likely to come out of the shell, and Zhang Zhao himself can be found among the iron horses?" ”
"Back to thousands of households, the terrain ahead is flat and uncovered, I wait for Weifang to startle the snake, and I dare not rush to investigate."
Deputy Qianhu got up and went down the mountain, and said: "Zhang Zhao, this old fox is very careful, we must be cautious in doing things, let's go, let the brothers get ready to ambush to the side of the road, and after seeing Zhang Zhao, then listen to my orders!" ”
"No, my subordinates are here to give orders!"
……
On the ground in Jiangdong, only the Jiangdong Shi clan had the ability to ambush Sun Ce, Zhang Zhao was friendly with the Jiangdong Shi clan, he didn't think that anyone would ambush him at this time, so he didn't think so much, led a hundred iron horsemen to gallop all the way, and soon came to the vicinity of Xishan.
Zhang Zhao was guarded by the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry in the middle of the military formation, as if the stars were holding the moon, and the Jinyi guards who had been ambushed to the side of the road soon discovered Zhang Zhao's traces.
"Qianhu, look! The man in the white scribe's robe in the middle of the military formation was Zhang Zhao, I have seen him several times, and I will never admit it! ”
Deputy Qianhu has also seen Zhang Zhao twice, and after confirming Zhang Zhao's identity, he was immediately overjoyed in his heart, and ordered softly: "Let everyone get ready, aim all the bows and crossbows in their hands at Zhang Zhao, as long as I give an order, I will shoot him with ten thousand arrows!! ”
"No, I'll take the order!"
The Jinyi guards soon received the order of the deputy Qianhu, and all aimed the bow and crossbow in their hands at Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zhao was very anxious, and the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry only dared to beat the horse and gallop when he saw Zhang Zhao's sad face, and everyone had their own thoughts, and they did not notice that there would be ambushes in the West Mountain for a while.
Zhang Zhao and a hundred Jiangdong iron horsemen soon came to the official road at the foot of Xishan, and the deputy Qianhu saw that the fighter plane had arrived, and hurriedly shouted: "Shoot the arrows and retreat from the rolling wood and stones!! ”
As soon as Deputy Qianhu gave the order, countless arrows immediately flew straight towards Zhang Zhao and the iron cavalry near him, and after the Jinyi Guard Dead Soldier shot the arrows, he immediately pushed down the rolling wood and stone that had been prepared for a long time.
"Whoosh!! Whoosh!! Whoosh!! ”。
"Boom!! Thundered!!! Thundered!!! ”
Zhang Zhao heard the movement next to him, and as soon as he turned around, he saw countless feather arrows flying straight towards him!!
