Chapter 783: Cheng Gongying's Plan to Retire Zhang Ren (Middle)
"No matter how big or small the generals are, those who take something in vain will be beheaded! Hurry up and get back! ”
Zhang Ren gave this order, and the armies of Xichuan were in a hurry to turn back. Suddenly, Tian Feng's flag was raised, and he stood on a dirt slope to command the soldiers and horses. Zhao Yunzhong's army led the troops out, Liu Pi killed on the left, and Liang Xing killed on the right. The soldiers and horses of Xichuan retreated in a hurry, did not take precautions, and were killed by the three northwest soldiers and horses and fled. Zhao Yun, Liang Xing, and Liu Pi, the three generals, each danced weapons and horses and slaughtered into the Xichuan rebellion, setting off countless blood rains. Especially Zhao Yun, who killed the fastest and was unstoppable, the soldiers of Xichuan knew that he was powerful, and when he saw Zhao Yun killed him from afar, he immediately hurriedly retreated, so there were countless people who trampled on each other and died.
Zhang Ren was defeated and hurriedly returned to the camp, and a group of Xichuan soldiers were killed by the Northwest Army and were frightened, and just rushed into the camp. When you are frightened and want to rest.
Suddenly, the two cannons rang out in unison, and I saw two ambushes suddenly killed, Cheng Gongying on the left, Pang De on the right, led the cavalry, and rushed to the village.
The soldiers and horses of Xichuan were in chaos and fled first, but Zhang Ren couldn't stop it. Cheng Gongying and Pang De led the army to kill, and under the gallop of the two cavalry, the Xichuan soldiers and horses were killed and defeated like a mountain, and the surroundings were full of bloody wind and rain. Cheng Gongying flew all the way to kill, and when he saw Li Yan, he immediately drew his bow and arrow, looking at his back and shooting it. There was a loud bang, Li Yan couldn't react, and was shot off the horse by Cheng Gongying. Cheng Gongying was about to chase and kill, Li Yan deployed desperately to block, and Li Yan was rescued by a team of soldiers. On the other side, Pang De's lion eyes were red, and he was slashing wildly with a lion's head machete, and when he met Yan Yan, he immediately slapped his horse and killed. Yan Yan suddenly felt a terrifying sense of crisis, and suddenly turned over and slashed with a knife, with a loud bang, sparks burst out. Fortunately, Yan Yan took out the knife in time, otherwise he would have been cut in half by Pang De at this time. Pang De roared, and the lion-headed machete turned into a crimson wind, sweeping in front of Yan Yan. Yan Yan saw that Pang De's offensive was fierce, so he had to blindly defend it. Pang De fought hard and fought Yan Yan for dozens of rounds. Yan Yan gradually couldn't resist, and the knife style was messy.
Suddenly, Pang De slashed down with a knife, the knife was violent, and Yan Yan seemed to see a crimson angry lion, rushing towards it with its teeth and claws. Yan Yan was taken aback, and hurriedly raised the knife. I felt that the blade in my hand was like being crushed by a huge mountain, and Yan Yan's whole person was like turning into a kite with a broken string, losing momentum and flying off the horse. Pang De rushed forward, dozens of Xichuan soldiers came to block, Pang De swept with a knife, the knife was fierce, and it broke as soon as he rushed, killing in front of Yan Yan, his hand rose and fell, and he saw that Yan Yan's head was about to be split into two.
At this time, a silver spear suddenly flew and hit Pound's blade, Pound's face changed drastically, and the lion-headed machete suddenly lost control. Yan Yan took the opportunity to escape. Between the lightning and flint, the silver spear moved again, and Pound immediately turned around and drew his knife against it, fixed his eyes, and sure enough, he saw the person he was thinking about.
I saw Ma Chao's face full of anger and hatred, as if he saw an enemy. For Ma Chao, the hatred for Pound did not damage Wen Han at all. Pang De was originally a general of the Western Liang Army, but he was not ashamed and threw himself under the command of Wen Han, the enemy. Ma Chao couldn't wait to tear it to shreds.
Pang De saw that it was Ma Chao, his momentum suddenly rose, he knew Ma Chao's hatred for him, once the two met, they would never die.
"Pong! Cause! Bright! ”
Ma Chao gritted his teeth, three words popped out of his mouth, and as soon as the words fell, the brocade silver lion tooth gun immediately came out, the gun style was like a rainstorm, and the lion's roar was not stopped. Pound also swung his knife and struck, the knife style was quite similar to Ma Chao's marksmanship, and the sound of the knife was like the roar of a lion. The two were like two wild lions fighting, and the soldiers around them were stunned for a while, and no one dared to disturb them.
At the same time, Zhang Ren protected the law and fought in the chaotic army. Suddenly, the shouts of killing in the rear shook the sky. Zhao Yun, Liu Pi, and Liang Xing each led soldiers and horses to kill, and Liu Pi and Liang Xing each led troops and horses to rush into the village to fight. Zhao Yun seemed to have a sense in his heart, and saw Zhang Ren at a glance, and the four hooves of the jade lion moved in the night, and he quickly killed Zhang Ren. Zhang Ren was frightened, fighting alone, he knew that he was definitely not Zhao Yun's opponent, he quickly ordered the soldiers to form a three-column defense line, and at the same time ordered a team of soldiers and horses to protect Fa Zheng and flee first. As soon as Zhang Ren finished commanding, Zhao Yun had already been killed.
I saw that Zhao Yun was like an invincible ghost god, his momentum increased sharply, his gun was like lightning, and he broke through bravely. The first line of defense collapsed in an instant, and when the second line of defense was killed, the surrounding Xichuan soldiers swarmed up. Zhao Yun shouted loudly, swept his gun, and one after another people and horses flew violently. Just for a while, Zhao Yun broke through the second line of defense and killed the third line of defense. The surroundings are densely packed with Xichuan soldiers and horses, Zhao Yun danced the gentian bright silver spear tightly, single-handedly, but killed the Xichuan soldiers and horses, and gradually no one dared to advance.
Zhang Ren saw it clearly, and finally understood why he, a junior brother, could be famous all over the world. This courage, this brave wind, there is really no one before or since!
Seeing that Zhao Yun was about to kill, Zhang Ren gave up his life and left. Between the main lines, Liu Pi on the right and Liang Xing on the left led the army to block the way. Zhang Ren shouted.
"If you don't fight to the death, you will be captured!"
Zhang Ren struggled to clash, and his henchmen fought desperately to get out of the encirclement. Ma Chao saw that the situation was not good, so he didn't dare to fight, and he broke the siege and fled. The armies in the northwest pursued and fought fiercely from all directions, and they had been killing the Xichuan soldiers and horses out of the Jinzhu realm before they were withdrawn. Along the way, there were corpses and minced flesh all over the field, discarding armor and guns, and blood flowed like a river, and the strong smell of blood shrouded Jinzhu within a radius of dozens of miles.
Zhao Yun seized the Xichuan military camp and seized grain, grass, siege equipment, and countless armaments and materials.
After this battle, nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses were lost in Xichuan, and 7,000 or 8,000 were captured by the Northwest Army. Zhang Ren folded most of his soldiers and horses, fled back to Anhan, and no longer dared to invade the Jinzhu realm for the time being.
It is said that Zhao Yun returned to Jinzhu City with a great victory, rewarded the soldiers, recorded their merits, and rewarded the generals with the spoils they obtained, and the army and the people were happy. The generals gathered together, and there were also questions about the previous war. The general asked.
"Zhang Guyi and Fa Xiaozhi are both Xichuan Junjie, why is it so fast to lose?"
Zhao Yun listened to this, looked at Cheng Gongying and smiled. Cheng Gongying stood up to attend, saluted the generals, and said in a condensed voice.
"Zhang Guyi and Fa Xiaozhi are both familiar with the art of war and are cautious. Although he can use soldiers, he is too cautious because of what he has learned, so he sticks to the rules. I borrowed this to win by surprise. to win a big victory! ”
When the generals heard this, they all woke up one after another, and they were all amazed at the wisdom of Cheng Gongying. Tian Feng listened to it again and again, thinking that this Cheng Gongying deserved to be a 'Liangzhou think tank', and his strategy was really amazing.
Zhao Yun seized all the food, grass, and armaments of Xichuan's soldiers, horses, and horses, and broke his army. At this time, Zhang Ren only had 40,000 troops left in Anhan, most of which were newly defeated and remnants, and there was no threat to his own army. Zhao Yun let the army rest for the time being, and then make plans after the soldiers and horses recuperate.
At the same time, at the time of the Battle of Dongchuan. In the land of Jingzhou, although there is no war, it is also a great change, and it seems that there will be earth-shattering chaos at any time.
The imperial court suddenly ordered Liu Bei to be rewarded and given the post of general of Zhengnan. Cao Cao suddenly gave Liu Bei a heavy position, which surprised the entire Jingzhou context. It can be known that not long ago, Liu Bei and Cao Cao's general Cao Ren fought fiercely in Xinye, Cao Ren was defeated and returned, and most of the 50,000 soldiers and horses were killed. It should be Cao Cao's hatred for Liu Bei, and he can't wait to get rid of him quickly, how can he be given a heavy position instead.
Just when the bureaucrats in Jingzhou were in shock, suddenly in all the counties and counties of Jingzhou, there were many rumors that Liu Bei had a new talent, Wolong Zhuge Liang. The previous defeat of Cao's army was all because of this person's advice. Liu Bei got this person, like a tiger with wings, like a fish in water, he wanted to gather into a general trend, recruit troops and buy horses in Xinye, and prepare to take advantage of Liu Biao's critical illness to seize Jingzhou as a foundation for a great cause. And Cao Cao was worried about the battle in the northwest, fearing that Liu Bei would attack the Central Plains, so he rewarded Liu Bei heavily to appease.
When these Jingzhou bureaucrats heard that Liu Bei, who was displaced in the past, and now the power they have become has made Cao Cao, the peerless hero, also fearful, they can't help but sigh and marvel. At the same time, many people secretly also have expectations, hoping that Liu Bei can become the lord of Jingzhou and resist the male lord Cao Cao.
However, for Cai Mao and Cai, the recent rumors have made these two sisters and brothers almost crazy. At this time, Liu Biao was terminally ill, and his life was dying, so he discussed writing a will, and instructed Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang to make Liu Bei assist his eldest son Liu Qi as the lord of Jingzhou. The writing was completed and handed over to the hands of the two. Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang received the order to resign, and suddenly met Cai Mao to intercept the way. Cai Mao glared angrily and asked about the past. Now, Liu Biao is dying. The Cai family can be said to cover the sky with one hand in Jingzhou, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang are afraid that Cai Mao will kill them, and they dare not hide it, and they are about to tell the past. Cai Mao was furious when she heard this, and first appeased Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, and then asked for a will. Kuai Yue had his own thoughts in his heart, and rushed to tell him that Liu Biao was only dictating just now, and did not write a document. Cai Mao thought that Kuai Yue would not dare to deceive, so he immediately believed a little, and then came to the Cai family to discuss. Cai learned that Liu Biao wanted Liu Qi to be the lord of Jingzhou, where was he willing. Immediately asked people to close the inner door, so that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun held the outer door.
When Liu Qi was in Jiangxia, he knew that his father was critically ill and came to Jingzhou to visit the patient, and then went to the outer gate. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun blocked and shouted.
"The son was ordered by his father to guard Jiangxia, his responsibility is very heavy, and he left his post without permission. If you see the lord, the lord will be angry, drink and rebuke, and the illness will increase, but because of the serious illness, it is not filial piety! Childe should go back quickly, don't delay! ”
Liu Qi stood outside the door, unable to enter, and cried. Liu Qi was the eldest son of Liu Biao, and the soldiers around him saw this sad scene, but they turned a blind eye and were indifferent. It's really cold. Liu Qi stopped crying and looked for important ministers in the city, hoping to persuade Cai Mao to meet his father. But these important ministers of Jingzhou, without exception, all pushed off for various reasons.
Liu Qi was at a loss for anything, and suddenly met Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, and the two of them secretly looked at each other, Liu Qi was overjoyed, and went back to the post station first. That night, Liu Qi came to a hidden and desolate place. There was no one around, and the night was dark.
Suddenly, two kneeling sounds sounded, Liu Qi looked back, and saw Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang kneeling on the ground and crying.
"In order to protect the family business and help the thief to do evil, my brothers know that they are guilty, but they really don't have the eyes to see their son! Now the lord is in danger, and he will die soon! The Cai family wants to gather power and seize the foundation of Jingzhou. Son, hurry up to Xinye and ask Uncle Huang for help! ”
