Chapter 277: Belated News

As the generals in Zhang Ping's army continued to die or be captured, the entire army began to fall into a leaderless situation. Many people surrender when they see no hope. As a result, the situation of the entire battle soon completely turned to the Huashan Army. At dawn, the battle was finally over. The entire river valley was already a mess, and there were countless corpses lying on the ground, wailing all over the field.

"General, I didn't find Zhang Ping's body, and I didn't see anyone else! If you guessed correctly, you should have run away a long time ago! Li Xin is no longer the rookie who is on the battlefield for the first time, so such a scene does not move him. In the interval between cleaning the battlefield, Liao Chuan came over to report.

"It's not surprising that he ran away, after all, in the situation like last night, that Zhang Ping is not a person with outstanding intelligence. Aside from running away, I can't believe he's going to fight us to the death! Tell Peng Lin to let him lead five hundred cavalry to pursue, the best can be caught, if he can't catch it, forget it! Li Xin was not surprised at all by this news, and after thinking about it for a while, he commanded.

"Yes, the last general will go and give the order!" Liao Chuan answered, and hurriedly turned around to find Peng Lin.

Zhang Ping in history was not a capable person in the first place! Otherwise, if you occupy such a large piece of territory as Bingzhou, you can only survive in the cracks, either by surrendering Yan or Qin, or by surrendering Jiangzuo.

Moreover, he finally stood on his own and was ready to fight for the hegemony of the world by himself, but he chose Fu Jian to be the emperor and the Yan Kingdom was relatively stable. With this kind of vision, Li Xin doesn't know what to say, and he doesn't even have the most basic ability to judge the timing, so it's no wonder that he can achieve great things.

Zhang Ping's side, after escaping overnight, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Escorted by his own soldiers along the way, he fled from the battlefield more than 20 miles away, and he didn't dare to stop to catch his breath, for fear that the soldiers of the Huashan Army behind him would chase him out.

Because the battlefield was too chaotic, in order not to attract attention, Zhang Ping didn't even dare to get a horse. As a result, the group had to walk and move forward in the dark on this mountain road. By daybreak, we were already more than twenty miles away from the battlefield.

At this time, Zhang Ping and his entourage, shocked and tired, couldn't hold on anymore and had to stop and rest.

"Hateful! With 20,000 troops in hand, it was defeated, Li Xin Xiaoer, when I return to Jinyang, I will take revenge! Zhang Ping, who was resting on the rocks, couldn't help clenching his fists at this time, and his anger was not calm.

"Envoy, envoy, we have caught a fine work!" At this moment, a few soldiers who were walking in front to explore the road suddenly ran back and said to him.

"Finesse? Where is it? Bring it over and let the official interrogate it himself! Hearing this, Zhang Ping was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily.

Soon, the soldiers escorted two young men in cloth clothes over. These two people looked quite panicked at this time, especially after seeing Zhang Ping, they only thought that they had encountered some deserter bandits.

"The military master spares his life, the military master spares his life! The little two are just passing by, and they are not fine! The two of them fell to their knees and kowtowed.

"The people? This place is remote and uninhabited, and there is a great war ahead, what people dare to pass at this time? The two of you are clearly the Huashan Army who spies on the military situation, and you are here to spy on our army's reality, yes or no? If you are honest, the official can still let you live, if not, I will ask you to be the ghost under the knife today! Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Zhang Ping couldn't help but snort coldly and reprimanded.

"The villain is wronged! The small one is indeed not a fine work! Listening to the words of the military master, is the military master Zhang Yuanjun's soldiers and horses? One of them hurriedly argued, but after a while, he seemed to react and immediately asked.

"Not bad! Do you dare to say that it is not a fine work? Zhang Ping was a little strange, but he felt that this seemed to show more that the other party was suspicious.

"Military master, military master, please listen to a small word! The small one is really not a fine work, the small one is a servant of the Shangdang Feng Fujun, who specially came to send a letter to Zhang Zhijun on the order of Lord Fujun. I also invited a few military masters to take the little ones to see Zhang Yuanjun, after the matter is completed, I think you will have a heavy reward! When the young man heard this, he immediately rejoiced.

Hearing this, Zhang Ping couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then seemed to remember who Feng Fujun was.

"You said Feng Yang sent you? What are the certificates? Who knows if you are sent by the Huashan Army to pretend to be unfavorable to Zhang Yuanjun? After thinking for a while, Zhang Ping asked.

"The villain has Feng Fujun's handwritten letter, as long as Zhang Yuanjun sees it, he will definitely recognize it!" The man said hurriedly.

"Oh? Take it out and show it with me! ”

"This ...... I'm afraid it's inconvenient, right? My family has confessed that this letter must be handed over to Zhang Zhijun in person! ”

"Bastard, keep your dog's eyes open! The person sitting in front of you is Zhang Zhijun of Bingzhou! You don't even know anyone, so Feng Yang also sent you to deliver the letter? At this time, the strategist beside Zhang Ping stood up and scolded.

"Huh? This is Zhang Zhijun? ”

"What? Isn't it like? The official secretly returned to the north, had important matters to deal with, and did not want to be discovered by the enemy, so he dressed up like this. Take out the letters! Zhang Ping said in a deep voice. He couldn't tell the other party that he was defeated last night, this was to escape for his life!

Speaking of which, the two had to believe it, and hurriedly took out the letter. After Zhang Ping took it, he hurriedly glanced at it a few times, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

"Damn! Such a big event was not notified to me until today! If not, how could this official confront Li Xin outside Wuxiang County for several days? What a big mistake for me! After seeing it, Zhang Ping said angrily.

"Envoy, what does this letter say!?" The strategist next to him was a little strange and couldn't help asking.

Zhang Ping didn't answer, just threw the letter in his hand. The strategist took it and looked at it, and was speechless.

"Envoy, now it seems that we can't go back to Taiyuan. I was still wondering why there were suddenly many more soldiers and horses in Nawu Township. Now it seems that Li Xin has arrived. At first, we only thought that the soldiers and horses mobilized by the Huashan Army from other places, and thought that there was still a big war on the side of Changzi County, so we wanted to open up the road to the south as soon as possible. Who would have thought that General Zhang and the others would have already failed miserably! After a while, the counsellor spoke.

In the previous battle, Liao Chuan led an army of 2,000 to block them. After all, the north gate of Wuxiang County is only so big, and it can only accommodate so many guards. And after Li Xin led the people to arrive, he didn't show up easily, but just let Li Erhei, Lu Guang and Liao Chuan rotate.

The soldiers and horses going north, fighting and hurrying for days, must take a rest first. Then, he constantly rotated with the soldiers and horses who originally defended the city. In this way, from the outside, the defenders at the head of the city are always only those people, and it seems that there is no change at all.

Especially for Zhang Ping, he is not the one who personally attacked the city, and he doesn't know any of Li Erhei and them at the head of the city. Not to mention him, even the generals under him are the same. As a result, reinforcements had already arrived in the city, and they didn't know about it.

It has to be said that they are extremely poor at this. Perhaps, it was because they had so many troops at their disposal that they were too careless to underestimate the enemy! If they had known that there were thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, I am afraid that they would also be guarding against night attacks.

"Hateful! If God doesn't help me, why do you want to help Li Xin succeed? Zhang Ping was angry, only complaining about the injustice of heaven, but he didn't want to think that his skills were too poor.

"Envoy, now let's rush back to Yangyi County as soon as possible and organize people to block the road. Otherwise, once Li Xin and the others free their hands, I am afraid that they will kill Jinyang. Let's stick to Yangyi County and let them not enter an inch, so that we can ensure the safety of Taiyuan! The strategist next to him persuaded.

"Not bad! Besides, our side has failed. But General Zhuge Xiang of the West Road has not yet produced results. Why don't you rush there and sit down in town! As long as Pingyang County can be taken, this confrontation with the Huashan Army can be regarded as a victory! Another advisor said.

Hearing this, Zhang Ping's face finally looked a little better. Thinking that Pingyang County might be taken by himself, and then threaten Hedong County, he could directly point to Guanzhong, and he suddenly regained a lot of confidence.

"Envoy, envoy, there is a faint sound of horses' hooves coming from the rear, it seems that the cavalry of the Huashan Army is chasing after you!" Just as he was imagining, a soldier ran all the way over and reported it.

"It's not good, it must be the Huashan Army chasing and killing! Hurry up and enter the mountains and find your way back to Yangyi County from the mountains! Hearing this, Zhang Ping couldn't think about it anymore, and hurriedly ordered.

The group immediately ended their rest, and ran into the mountains and forests on the west side, despite the high mountains and dense forests.

Soon after, Penlin led a group of cavalry in pursuit, but no figure was seen.

"Your Excellency, there are people here, and it looks like there are quite a few people. The traces are still fresh, and they should have just left! "The scout in charge of reconnaissance searched around for a while, and then came back to report.

"So, they're in the mountains? Well, in this case, it is impossible to pursue! Let's go, let's continue to the north, and first go to Yangyi County to have a look! Hearing this, Peng Lin couldn't help but groan for a while, and then commanded.

Soon, this group of soldiers and horses slowly ran through the mountains and headed towards Yangyi County in the north.

Peng Lin didn't plan to occupy Yangyi County, after all, it was not as good as Wuxiang County, and it was impossible to take it with his own hundreds of cavalry. He went here just to reconnoitre, and by the way, to show off his strength, so that the people of Taiyuan County could feel a real threat.

In this way, if Zhang Ping's people want to go south again in the future, they have to think that their own territory may also be attacked by the Huashan army. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Eastern Jin Dynasty Tang Wang's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
