Chapter 687
"Is the war over?" Xiahoudun turned over and dismounted, came to Xiahou Yuan, and snorted, "You too, don't you know that you are seriously injured?" Do you want to get rid of the root of the disease? Kindness? ”
Xiahou Yuan spread his hands helplessly: "Didn't the lord say it just now?" I want you and me to lead the army outside the city, and the lord himself will go to the city to hand over the defense, although Zhang Xiu has surrendered, but I heard that Liu Biao's reinforcements will come at any time, how about the two of us take turns to rest? Don't wait for the enemy to come, and we won't even have the strength to fight back! ”
"Hmph, you and your troops should stay at the north gate, as for the west gate, since Meng De values his nephew so much, let Zixiu and the two continue to guard it, and the horse exploration report said that Yu Ban's receiver is already on the way, and it will be there soon, and he will hand over the east gate to him after he comes!"
"Wait a minute, Brother Xuan, you don't want to go to the south of Fancheng alone, right?" Xiahou Yuan was surprised.
"Are you afraid that I won't be able to do it?" Xiahoudun pinched his waist with both hands and looked into the distance, "Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu are not good at their peers, if they want to make small moves, I will let them make a fool of themselves on the spot!" ”
Saying that, Xiahoudun turned over his horse again, raised his arms and shouted: "Qingzhou soldiers, follow me to the south of the city, and prepare to block Liu Biaojun!" ”
"No!" The Qingzhou soldiers each raised their weapons in their hands, and the sound shook the world.
Of course, Xiahoudun had to quickly open the south of the city, because although he and Zhang Xiu had stopped fighting, Han Hao of Xinye didn't know what was going on!
As expected, Han Hao had just led the army to Xinye and stationed there, and the herald came to report that a secret marching team was found in the north, with about two thousand people, Han Hao chuckled and said: "Zhang Xiu really left a hand, but it was still a step too late, the army listened to the order and went with me to meet the enemy, I can't let them report the news to Liu Biao!" ”
The army responded angrily, but one of the generals questioned: "General Han Hao is slow, rash attack may not be a foolproof strategy, even if it is an ambush, our army will suffer more than half of the casualties, I thought of a better trick!" ”
Han Hao looked at it and saw that it was the deputy general Shi Lian, so he asked, "Tell me what kind of trick it is?" ”
Shi Lian said a few words to Han Hao, Han Hao laughed and nodded in praise: "I can't see that you kid is honest on weekdays, and you can actually come up with such a ghost idea!" ”
Shi Lianhan said with a smile: "The general has won the award, but the general still governs the army well, and often brainstorms to give us people a chance!" ”
Han Hao patted Shi Lian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't shoot the sycophants, everyone prepare to give the enemy a surprise!" ”
At this time, Zhang Ling didn't know that Zhang Xiu was ready to pretend to surrender to Cao Cao, and naturally he didn't know that there was a pit dug in front of him waiting for him to jump, he just ordered the army to march secretly, and finally arrived in Xinye on this day.
"General, the soldiers are extremely tired, don't you take a break!" A few vice-presidents asked Zhang Ling.
"Rest a fart!" Zhang Ling took the horsewhip and struck it on the heads of these people a few times, "Don't you know that the lord's life is in danger now?" When you fought with Cao Jun a few days ago, didn't you see the strength of the opponent's combat effectiveness? Even if we die now, we have to rush to Xiangyang and bring reinforcements! Solve problems for the Lord! ”
The whip was whipped hard, and several people immediately had several blood marks on their faces, and they said with some unwillingness: "General, the brothers have been reflecting, in fact, we have never wanted to say it, Liu Biao was originally the lord's mortal enemy, and our alliance may not be sincere, now if Liu Biao really sees the lord being beaten by Cao Cao and retreating, maybe he will not send rescuers at all, but just find a reason to prevaricate!" ”
Zhang Ling's hand hung down weakly, and he said a little gloomily: "Alas, I have also thought about the situation you said, but this is the only hope for the lord, Liu Biao is a respected gentleman after all, he may not be a villain!" ”
"The general really understands the matter, if my lord knows that Your Excellency is so praised, he will definitely be pleased!" Suddenly, a voice sounded, startling Zhang Ling and his subordinates.
"Who?" Zhang Lingxun went to the prestige, only to see an army appear at the end of the road, under the banner of the Jingzhou army, and the first big banner had the word "king" written on it, which was particularly eye-catching.
The first general, in brocade robe and silver armor, rode a horse and said to Zhang Ling: "Jingzhou Wang Wei, on the orders of my lord Jingzhou Mu Liu, I heard that General Zhang Xiu was in trouble, and I came to help!" ”
Zhang Ling was overjoyed, rode a horse, looked at Wang Wei, and saluted: "There is General Lao Wangwei, I thought that I had to rush to Xiangyang to invite rescuers, but I didn't expect Liu Jingzhou to be so fast!" ”
Wang Wei pulled the reins of the horse and said: "My lord got an urgent report from Mr. Jia Xu a few days ago, and he happened to lead troops to crusade against water thieves near Xinye, so the lord ordered him to come first, and he led the army to arrive later!" ”
"Great!" Zhang Lingxi couldn't help but overflow, "This must make Cao Cao have no return!" ”
The two armies met, and before they could get off their horses, they went to Fancheng first, but they did not go far, Zhang Ling's army horses collapsed to the ground due to fatigue, foaming at the mouth, and the soldiers were also tired and unbearable, Zhang Ling saw helplessness, and saw that the night was getting deeper, so he had to discuss with Wang Wei, temporarily sleep in the wilderness, and then go on the road after a night's rest.
After the arrangements were made, Wang Wei came to the tent simply built by Zhang Ling's subordinates to understand the situation in Fancheng at the moment.
"Then Cao Cao is so powerful?" Wang Wei couldn't help laughing when he saw that Zhang Ling had spoken of Cao Cao's army so vividly that it was almost as invincible as a demon.
"General Wang Wei, don't laugh, I really want to see Cao Cao's army, I'm afraid that your army is not as good as me, that Cao Cao is extremely short, but his soldiers are like tigers and wolves, and the lord's men and horses have suffered a lot!"
"Listening to the general say this, I really want to meet Cao Cao's army, our Jingzhou army is not vegetarian, I think at the beginning, hehe, don't talk about it!" Wang Wei wanted to talk about the Jingzhou army's defeat of Zhang Ji's people, but when he saw Zhang Ling's somewhat uncertain expression, he didn't say anything, and got up awkwardly and said, "I'll go and relieve myself!" ”
"Whew!" Zhang Ling yawned as he spoke, looked at the pot leak and said to himself, "I didn't expect it to be so soon!" It's time for me to rest, and I'm going to be on my way tomorrow! General Wang Wei, you should also rest early! ”
"Yes!" Wang Wei did not really relieve himself outside the tent, but exchanged code signals and sign language with the soldiers who had already laid an ambush, preparing to kill Zhang Ling and his subordinates unknowingly after Zhang Ling himself and his men were asleep.
Yes, this Wang Wei is not Wang Wei's person, but Han Hao pretending, Han Hao pulled out the short knife from his arms at this moment, and looked at the smiling self on the face of the knife by the bonfire.
At this moment, Zhang Ling, who had fallen asleep in the tent, also smiled slightly, and said in his dreams: "I know, you are actually not Wang Wei, right, I also fought with Wang Wei when I was in Fancheng last year, although I lost in a few rounds, hehehe, who are you outside the door?" ”
Han Hao was shocked when he heard this, he and a few soldiers made a look, and everyone attacked the tent with knives, and how could there be Zhang Ling's figure in this small tent?
"Oh no, I've been tricked!" Han Hao pulled out of the tent, only to see that Zhang Ling had already led his men and horses to surround him.
"Although I don't know who you are, but you must be Cao Cao's subordinates, unfortunately you are smart but you were mistaken by being smart, so, suffer death!" Zhang Ling said, shooting at Han Hao.
When Han Hao saw Zhang Ling killing, he knew that it was not good, but the situation was urgent, so he immediately stepped forward to attack Zhang Ling, and said with admiration: "I thought that Zhang Xiu's subordinates were all wine bags and rice bags, but tonight it seems to be very surprising!" ”
Zhang Ling laughed, but the moves in his hand were even more ruthless, as if he wanted to put Han Hao to death, the spear was hunting, and there was a loud voice: "Your Excellency seems to be a general who has been fighting for many years, don't you know that underestimating your opponent is going to suffer?" ”
In the conversation, the two have fought for more than ten rounds, the soldiers around are fighting in one place, the shouts are loud all over the sky, it is late at night, the melee between the two armies has frightened the birds and beasts in the forest to fly, and walked, not long after, it has already been on fire, the whole forest is burned, and when the two Zhang Han people in the fight find out, the raging fire has surrounded the two armies in the forest.
"General, it's not good, the fire is too big, all the ways out are blocked!" Both sergeants came to report to their commanders.
"Damn! Whoever let the fire do not look at what place? Zhang Ling was furious and glanced at Han Hao, who was a little out of breath in front of him.
Han Hao stabilized his body, knowing that there was no way to fight now, otherwise he would end up together, he said to Zhang Ling in a deep voice: "My soldiers have always been disciplined, let alone setting themselves on fire, I won't be so stupid!" With that, he shouted, "Stop! ”
Sure enough, as soon as his voice fell, the soldiers all obeyed the order to stop fighting and gathered around Han Hao one by one.
Zhang Ling's soldiers also gradually gathered over and said to Zhang Ling: "General, it seems that there are other people who fought with us just now!" ”
"What?" Zhang Ling was shocked, "Who could it be?" ”
"It doesn't matter who it is, it doesn't matter anymore!" Han Hao sneered, "The important thing is that we must find a way to escape now, otherwise we thousands of people will be burned to death in this dense forest, and there will be no bones left!" ”
Zhang Ling stared at Han Hao in surprise and said, "It seems that you look like you are in your chest, don't you already have a countermeasure?" ”
"If you trust me, come with me!" Han Hao said that he led the soldiers and walked back, "But don't put a cold arrow behind your back!" ”
Zhang Linganxious asked, "Where to go?" ”
Han Hao stopped, looked at the black clouds rolling in the sky, and said, "At least we have to find a place where the wind is a little lighter!" ”
Zhang Ling muttered: "It's really amazing! ”
Zhang Ling's soldiers all asked Zhang Lingdao: "General, this person, can we believe it?" ”
Zhang Lingdao: "So far, if you don't believe it, you have to believe it, now there is a force that secretly wants to harm us, if we and they continue to kill, it will be a defeat for both sides, and the real enemy fisherman will benefit, before we complete the task of the main bus generation, we can't just die meaninglessly!" Pass on my military order, the whole army will follow, and rush out of the sea of fire! ”
