Chapter 4:049 The tree falls and scatters
。 As Zhou Yu said, Zhang Fei was ordered by Guan Zheng to take Jinyang and capture Cao Zhen, and after Guan Zheng's 600 li was sent to him in an expedited manner, because Huguan is no longer considered a front line, so Guan Zheng ordered him to leave 100 people in Huguan to maintain law and order, and the rest of the soldiers were all dispatched to Jinyang to rest and recuperate
The Jicheng defender is now replaced by Xu Huang, Cao Cāo originally wanted to order him to lead 20,000 troops to Jinyang to replace Cao Zhen, but he didn't expect to go halfway to the news that Jinyang had been lost, and in desperation, Cao Cāo immediately ordered him to directly transfer the troops to Jicheng, and then ordered Zhang He to lead 50,000 troops to Jicheng and Xu Huang to defend the city together, Cao Cāo also understood in his heart that if Jicheng lost Nanpi, it would be in a situation where the enemy was in front and rear
"General Zhang, do you think we can still hold it?" Walking on the way to the march, there was a general who asked Zhang Hedao, who was fighting a horse, and everyone was not stupid
To be honest, Zhang He is very unoptimistic about Cao Wei's prospects, but if he wants to turn his back on Wu now, he can't do a word, and he will obey the destiny of heaven, and suddenly let the soldiers and generals around him understand his thoughts
"Feelings, even General Zhang doesn't have confidence," the soldiers thought in their hearts, and the pace under their feet gradually slowed down, since they couldn't beat and couldn't hold it, they still ran so fast to send them to death, no matter who became the emperor, they always had to give the people a bite to eat
Zhang He walked at the front of the troops, he noticed that the soldiers' pace had slowed down, but he did not reprimand and urge them, he wanted to be loyal to Cao Cāo, there was no reason to drag these soldiers to accompany the funeral, as he grew older, Zhang He's idea of working hard to protect his wife and children gradually diminished a lot
"Generals, some soldiers can't walk, it's better to camp here, rest, and then hurry," Zhang He, who was sitting on the horse and was in a trance, suddenly heard the voice of his henchman colonel in his ears, where is the soldier can't walk, it is clear that they don't want to go, everyone knows that Cao Cāo, the king of Wei, although there are still 250,000 troops in Eastern Wu, but how many soldiers are there in Eastern Wu, and now I am afraid that there are 600,000 troops in Eastern Wu, and there are 600,000 troops up and down, plus those strange weapons in their hands, can they still have a chance of winning
"Set up camp, tonight, each person has a pot of wine, a pound of meat, eat and drink enough, rest for one night, and continue to hurry tomorrow," Zhang He looked back at the soldiers, looking at the confused look in their eyes, and finally couldn't bear to open his mouth and ordered
It was night, and the soldiers ate very quietly at dinner, even if there was wine and meat in front, everyone was not as giggling as they were in the rì, just burying their heads in the stuffy wine and tearing the meat on the plate, "Today, the rì has dragged it over, and the Ming rì has dragged it out, even if the Ming rì has been dragged over, then there will always be a rì that will go to Jicheng, and when you arrive in Jicheng, it is the time when everyone dies," the soldiers thought roughly the same in their hearts
After dinner, some soldiers returned to the tent and pulled the chief to say, the depressing atmosphere and confusion about the future during dinner prompted some soldiers to have the idea of desertion: "Wealth is a person's life, and it is your own, although it is disgraceful to be a deserter, it is better than losing your life." Many soldiers began to have such thoughts in their hearts, and under repeated defeats and repeated defeats, the spirit of invincibility and all-conquering spirit of these soldiers in the early years was gone
"Slip your kid don't want to die, there is a military law camp patrolling outside, in case you are caught, our dozen or so people will finish playing immediately," the chief glared at the soldier when he heard this, and he died on the battlefield, so he could still get some pension silver at home, but if he died in his own hands because he was a deserter, not only did he not have a pension to take, but even his family's rì was not happy
"The military law camp of the military law camp, I told you what is the long way, I pretended to relieve my hands, walked around the camp for a while, and half of the hair did not see that the military law camp was also a person, I guess they were afraid that they would have slipped away if they hadn't taken the opportunity to patrol," the soldier turned over and opened the curtain in front of the tent, looked left and right through the bonfires lit everywhere, and turned back to the chief and said
"You kid can look carefully, there is really no one patrolling the camp" Speaking of slipping, it's not that he hasn't thought about it, but the military law is like a furnace, he is afraid of being caught, so he didn't dare to slip, and now when he heard the soldier say, his mind immediately came alive, "If you slip away, I can also slip away, and you will allow me" Thinking of this, the chief stood up and asked his subordinates: "You all want to slip"
"Let's go home and hide for a while, maybe the world will be settled in this day, and at that time, how beautiful the little rì of the wife and children will be on the hot kang head," saw Shi Changfa asked, and the soldiers in the tent were talking there and saying that they would get up
"So, we only take short weapons, don't go out together, go in batches, even if you meet the patrol camp, you can also say that you are going to relieve your hands, and after you slip out, we will gather in the woods in the east," the chief gritted his teeth and decided to take the soldiers to gamble, if you don't gamble, you can't do it, since everyone has this idea, if you can't keep it, some people will take risks, and some of your subordinates will escape from the battle, but he will even sit down and lose his head, rather than being implicated in the end and losing his head, it is better to gamble and run away
It is better to act quickly, and this person slipped along the dark part of the camp to the fence erected at the edge of the camp with a saber on his waist, and walked all the way, as the soldier said, half a human hair did not see everyone, and they pulled each other over the fence, and could not help but exhale deeply, glanced at each other, and then suppressed the joy in their hearts, and ran towards the woods a few miles away
"Who" had just entered the woods, and someone asked there in a suppressed voice
"Choking" suddenly heard that there were people in the woods, and some soldiers hurriedly drew their swords at their waists, and they were about to slash at the place where the sound came from
"Let's move slowly, it's the second child of the Dong family on the other side," Nashi Chang suddenly raised his hand when he heard the voice, stopped his soldiers and asked
"Brother Jiang, it's really you, why did you run away with the brothers," the man lit up the fire in the dark, and carefully identified it by the faint light of the fire, and then asked in surprise
"Brothers, I just said that I didn't see the people from the military law camp patrolling the camp, but you should run first, hahaha," the chief surnamed Jiang looked at a group of people huddled under the tree and laughed softly
"This is not a place to stay for a long time, Brother Jiang, let's get out of here first," Dong Lao Er of the military law camp hurriedly said to the comrades around him, and after finishing speaking, he took the lead in running out of the forest and into the night
