Chapter Seventy-Nine: Borrowing Someone's Head

Yan Zheng paused slightly, stared at the guards and asked, "What guest?" "The generals of all sides should leave at this time and return to the camp to prepare for the attack, how can they have time to visit themselves.

"There are many people here, so it's inconvenient to talk about it. The general will know when he enters the account. ”

The mystery of the guards made Yan Zheng frown slightly, and walked out of the camp quickly, Zhang Bao's decision was greatly beyond Yan Zheng's expectations, this matter should be discussed with the strategists, how to minimize the losses of the soldiers, and the Yellow Turban Army can also break through the encirclement of the officers and soldiers.

However, Yan Zheng did not have much confidence in this battle in his heart, because Zhang Bao was not Zhao Yi's opponent at all, and if he could deal with Zhao Yi, he would not be like this.

Yan Zheng was originally a generous leader, but now there are only more than 4,000 soldiers left under his command, and more than half of them have been killed or wounded. He entered the barracks and instructed the soldiers to prepare for the assault on the city gates. Although he felt that Zhang Bao's plan was problematic, at this time, since Zhang Bao's order had been issued and he was determined to attack the east gate, even if Yan Zheng was dissatisfied in his heart, it would be useless, who would let the family be the leader.

When he entered the tent, he saw his adviser kneeling beside him without saying a word, staring at a middle-aged man in a green robe. This middle-aged man is good-looking, not like a person from the Yellow Turban.

When the middle-aged man saw Yan Zheng, he didn't wait for the advisor's introduction, the middle-aged man immediately stood up and bowed to Yan Zheng: "The general is Yan Zheng, right?" Cheng Zhouwen of Yangcheng County. ”

Hearing the word county cheng, Yan Zheng's eyes flashed, and he was shocked: "Are you from the court?" The smiling expression before suddenly became extremely gloomy: "What is the matter here?" No one from the government is welcome here. ”

"The general listened to the humble duty and finished speaking, and then gave the order to expel the guest without delay; The battle to the death of online games will not retreat. Zhou Wen faced the murderous Yan Zheng, his expression and speed of speech did not change at all, "What does the general think of the current situation of the official army and various ministries?" ”

As soon as these words were spoken, a sneer appeared on the corner of Yan Zheng's mouth: "Oh, it turned out that you were persuaded to surrender, Mr. Zhou, you are looking for the wrong person." With a light snort, he beckoned his soldiers to drag Zhou Wen down and behead him.

Instead of showing panic, Zhou Wen actually laughed twice, and broke free from the soldiers: "Let go, I will go by myself." Then he snorted softly: "Today I am returning to my homeland, and the next moment will be the same." When he was close to death, he didn't know yet, which was ridiculous, ridiculous. As he spoke, he walked out of the tent.

Yan Zheng and the strategist glanced at each other, very interested in what Zhou Wen said, and hurriedly called the soldier and let Zhou Wen come in again: "Do you mean that the official army has taken action, if you can tell the official and military secrets, you will be spared your life." ”

"Since I have entered the camp of your army, I have long put life and death out of the way. As for how our army will be arranged, you will know later. Zhou Wen knelt down at the table as if no one was around, and took a sip of wine.

Seeing Zhou Wen's arrogant appearance, Yan Zheng wanted to kill him, but he was stopped by his own strategist, who whispered in Yan Zheng's ear: "At this time, the situation is delicate, leaving Zhou Wen's life is also leaving us a way back." ”

Yan Zheng glanced at the strategist: "Are you asking me to turn my back on the Digong General and surrender to the imperial court?" ”

"It's not that I'm turning my back on General Digong, but I'm making plans when I see the situation clearly." Whether it is a strategist or a soldier under Yan Zheng, they have been tired from fighting with the officers and soldiers for months, since the officers and soldiers intend to surrender, the strategists also want to see how sincere the officials and soldiers are, and they did not refuse.

Yan Zheng stared at the strategist twice, and just wanted to say something, when the herald hurriedly ran in and announced: "General, General Digong, please go to the government office to discuss matters quickly!" ”

Yan Zheng stared at Zhou Wen twice, and said in his heart, Could this be the official and military actions that Zhou Wen said? Hurriedly followed the herald to the palace. When Yan Zheng arrived at the mansion, there were already a lot of people standing in the house, and the general, who had just left for a short time, was called back by Zhang Bao with a word.

They were all ready for battle, and they were waiting for the time to attack. At this time, there was a lot of discussion, the war was imminent, and these people didn't know what Zhang Bao meant by calling them at this time.

Zhang Bao walked out of the house with a gloomy face, and the first sentence he said made everyone's faces change greatly: "The official army has just occupied the transportation artery in the city, and our army's territory has been divided into several pieces. ”

Yan Zhengxin said that this was the case, no wonder there were a few fewer generals who came to the party here tonight, it turned out that they were divided by the official army. As long as the troops cannot be concentrated, the Yellow Turban Army will not be able to do the rest.

"The interception of the main traffic arteries by the officers and troops is not the most terrible, what is terrible is that if the officers and troops take advantage of the opportunity to break through the several parts that have been divided, our army will be defeated." The advisor made a worried suggestion. And just as the advisor's worried words were spoken, a shout of killing sounded in the city.

"It's not good, the officers and soldiers have done it." Zhang Bao immediately stood up, and said in his heart that the officers and soldiers were moving fast. These generals were hurriedly ordered to send troops to reinforce the besieged Yellow Turban Army.

Yan Zheng naturally came back to mobilize soldiers to reinforce, but halfway to the road met with the officers and soldiers guarding the main road, he led his troops to fight fiercely with the officers and soldiers, but the officers and troops attacked fiercely, especially with a terrifying spear about two feet long in his hand, stabbed at Yan Zheng's headquarters, marching in this narrow street, it would inevitably make the army less flexible, and the battle was only a quarter of an hour, and Yan Zheng suffered six hundred casualties on his side.

At this time, the shouting and killing in the distance was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that the official army had annihilated the Yellow Turban Army, and Yan Zheng had no need for reinforcements at this time, so he led his soldiers to hurriedly return to the camp.

Zhou Wen saw Yan Zheng walking into the barracks with an ugly face, and did not ridicule Yan Zheng, but sincerely took out Zhu Yi's handwritten letter from his arms: "General, this is General Zhu's handwritten letter, which explains that if the general is willing to surrender, the general will definitely not blame the past." And will be added to the general. At this time, the imperial army has isolated the Yellow Turban Army, and sooner or later it will be cut off one by one, and the general should put the lives of his soldiers first, so why bother to be Zhang Bao's funeral offerings? ”

Yan Zheng naturally understood what Zhou Wen said, it was not alarmist, he had already fought with the official army just now, and he was defeated miserably; The reborn daughter returns. The strategists around him are also persuading Yan Zheng to put the lives of his thousands of soldiers first, and this is a good time to return to the imperial court.

Yan Zheng sighed, and under the high-ranking officials that Zhou Wen said, he agreed: "I can surrender to the Cheng Officers and Army, but my soldiers and non-commissioned officers and soldiers cannot be reorganized." ”

This is just a trivial matter, Zhou Wen agreed: "Okay, there is no problem with this matter, but when he came, the general once ordered one thing, in order to show the general's sincerity, I hope the general can kill Zhang Bao." "Yan Zheng is Zhang Bao's confidant general, if Yan Zheng makes a move, Zhang Baoyan has a chance to live.

Yan Zheng stared at Zhou Wen closely: "It's not easy for Zhang Bao and Wei Ruyun to get close, I can promise you, but I have to borrow something from the envoy." ”

"What's that?" Zhou Wen asked, but Zhou Wen had nothing else on him except for the letter just now.

Yan Zheng's eyes suddenly cold: "It's Your Excellency's head!" As soon as the words fell, the long sword in Yan Zheng's hand came out of the sheath and cut off Zhou Wen's head.

The strategist was startled when he saw Yan Zheng kill Zhou Wen with a sword: "How could the general kill him." ”

Yan Zheng wrapped Zhou Wen's head, stared at Zhou Wen's headless corpse, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "This person should be killed!" As he spoke, he beckoned the soldiers to take Zhou Wenren's head to the palace.

Tonight, something happened one after another, the Yellow Turban Commander gathered at the government office at this time to talk about today's events, these people's rescue operations ended in failure, this is a typical encirclement point reinforcement tactics, not that the officers and soldiers are difficult to deal with, but their own soldiers are too incompetent.

"How many soldiers are there in our army at the moment?" Zhang Bao asked, and when he learned the specific number of troops, he could plan the use of troops.

The advisors estimated that there were nearly 20,000 people. At this time, the combat power of the Yellow Turban Army was not weak, but it was divided into small pieces by the officers and soldiers, although there were many soldiers, if they could not gather together, it was no different from a plate of loose sand. At this time, the key is to kill the officers and soldiers interspersed in the city, and prepare to break through as soon as possible.

At this time, Yan Zheng had already walked into the hall with Zhou Wen's head, and when he saw a little blood stain on Yan Zheng's body, everyone could guess the fierceness of the battle.

Seeing the head in Yan Zheng's hand, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Bao's mouth: "Has General Yan Zheng returned victorious?" Is the head of a thief inside the package? Zhang Bao very much hopes that the head wrapped in cloth is Zhao Yi's, if Zhao Yi dies, there will be less obstacles to dealing with the official army.

Yan Zheng bowed down and said embarrassedly: "The last general was defeated, and more than 300 people were lost," In the previous support battle, Yan Zheng's troops suffered 600 casualties, and the reason why they underreported it was just to make Zhang Bao not look down on himself so much. As he spoke, he opened the cloth. Everyone saw a bloody head, and explained Zhou Wen's identity and intention in detail, but Yan Zheng didn't mention it, took Zhang Bao's head, and then kicked the head out of the door: "We fought with the general in the south and the north, and we once shared weal and woe, how could we be moved by a few words from the officers and soldiers." ”

Zhang Bao was very moved, now the Yellow Turban Army is in great danger, and the generals standing in the audience do not have Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts. Originally, Zhang Bao also doubted Yan Zheng's loyalty and wanted to divide his military power. But after this incident, Zhang Bao's suspicion of Yan Zheng suddenly dissipated.

"With such a loyal general, the officers and soldiers don't want to destroy our Yellow Turban Army." Zhang Bao handed over a token to Yan Zheng, "From today onwards, General Yan Zheng will be the commander of our guard." ”

Yan Zheng was taken aback when he heard this, and he didn't dare to take the order: "The last general is very frightened, please take back the general's order." ”

Zhang Bao never took back the things he sent out, put the token in Yan Zheng's hand, and only said: "I believe in the general." ”

Yan Zheng bowed down with the token in his hand, and the generals around him congratulated one after another. Don't look at it as just the commander of the guard, but everyone doesn't dare to underestimate it.

Yan Zheng, who returned to the barracks, played with the token and said to the strategists beside him: "The first step has been taken, and the second step needs to be sent to cooperate." ”

The strategist knelt down at the table and picked up the brush: "General, please speak." ”
