Chapter 31: The Battle for Jizhou (4)
But he said that Zhao Xu met the enemy Yan Liang, only to hear Yan Liang shout: "Zhao Xu, do you recognize my general Yan Liang." After finishing speaking, Zhao Xu was about to reply, when he suddenly saw Yan Liang slashing with a knife, and tried his best to fight.
"Bell!" Zhao Xu scolded in his heart: Damn, how can this Yan Liang play tricks, Lao Tzu has not spoken yet, you will come here, and later generations will say that you are unlucky to be hacked by Guan Yu! I don't think you died at the hands of Guan Erye, you deserve it!
Zhao Xu raised the three-pointed two-edged gun, Yan Liang also swung the knife and slashed, the two guys fought together, Yan Liang slashed twice, and Zhao Xu fought with a gun.
"Boom ......" and "Bell Boom ......" hit the spark straight to explode. Yan Liang pressed Zhao Xu's three-pointed two-edged gun down with a knife, Zhao Xu was not angry and wanted to lift the knife up, but no matter how much force Zhao Xu used, it was difficult to achieve his wish even a few times. Zhao Xu secretly thought that this Yan Liang really deserved to be the first pillar of Hebei Tingzhu, and couldn't help but praise: "Yan has good strength!" ”
Yan Liang slashed at Zhao Xu with a knife, Zhao Xu raised the head of the pole and fell down, dodging Yan Liang's knife, Zhao Xu thought: This Yan Liang is powerful, and his martial arts are not under Guan Erye, but his strength is smaller, and hard fighting is not the way. At the moment, he made the "Hundred Birds and Phoenix Gun" taught by Zhao Yun, showing his skills, Yan Liang saw that the marksmanship was peculiar, and he also concentrated on the battle.
The two were murderous, going back and forth, fighting for 30 rounds in a row, regardless of victory or defeat. Zhao Xu's marksmanship, a combination of Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi, plus Zhang Fei and other gun masters, to put it bluntly, is the "Hundred Birds Chaofeng Gun" proficient, the rest is miscellaneous marksmanship, that is, flower guns, but this can make Yan Liang feel aggrieved, seeing Zhao Xu's marksmanship is messy, several times he didn't even touch the weapon, but let Zhao Xu counterattack. Yan Liang was furious, and only looked for Zhao Xu's three-pointed two-edged gun to fight, so that Zhao Xu's gun speed advantage could not be brought into play, which is called one move to win a hundred tricks.
Zhao Xu was shocked, fought hard, and fought for another twenty rounds, unable to resist, and retreated again and again. Fortunately, Tai Shi Ci came to kill and fought against Yan Liang with Zhao Xu. Yan Liang saw that Tai Shi Ci's marksmanship was also good, and it was difficult for him to win with one enemy and two enemies, so he shouted, turned his horse and left, and Zhao Xu and Tai Shi Ci did not rush.
However, he said that Dian Wei knew that he had lost to Zhao Yun and Chen Dao, and he was annoyed, so he summoned the Condor Warriors to show his might, and there was no one to stop him. Chen Zhi also led the white-eared soldiers, rushing back and forth to kill, the Condor warriors and the white-eared soldiers showed their magical powers, no one could stop them, Yan Liang and Wenchou military horses could not resist, and they were defeated and retreated. Xin Hao Yuan Shao's army also had halberd warriors and Xiandeng dead soldiers, desperately resisting the enemy, blocking for a while, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others retreated. Zhao Xu led the army to chase for hundreds of miles, and Yan Liang and Wen Chou fled to Zhangwu before they took hold. Zhao Xu sent someone to summon Liu Bei on the one hand, and stepped up the march on the other.
When Yuan Shao learned of the defeat, almost all of Jizhou belonged to Zhao Xu, and he was shocked and gathered his advisers to discuss countermeasures. Xu Yu said: "Now that Zhao Xu's troops are in Zhangwu, they are unstoppable, and Jizhou is bound to lose, but the only way to do this is to step up the siege of the city, break Gongsun Zan, get Youzhou, and then discuss." ”
Yuan Shao followed his plan, on the one hand, he ordered Yan Liang and Wen Chou to resist the enemy, and on the other hand, he stepped up the siege of the city.
However, it was said that Gongsun Zan was defending Jicheng, there was a shortage of food, the army was unstable, and Gongsun Zan was irritable all day long. Suddenly, Tan Ma learned that Zhao Xu had broken Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and Gongsun Zan was overjoyed, and urgently convened his generals to discuss countermeasures.
General Yan Gang said: "Lord, now that Zhao Xu has broken Yuan Shao, it is unstoppable, we can lead the troops to kill, and together with internal and external efforts, we will definitely be able to kill Yuan Shao, the dog thief." ”
Tian Kai said: "Now that Yuan Shao Jizhou has been lost, he will fight to the death to attack the city, and take Youzhou as its foundation, it is not appropriate for us to compete with it, it is better to abandon Youzhou, join forces with Zhao Xu, and then break Yuan Shao." ”
Gongsun Zan thought about it reasonably, and thought that now he owes Liu Bei a favor, and he doesn't know how to repay it. Ask your advisors.
Tian Kai said: "Liu Xuande is a relative of the Han family, benevolent and virtuous, his fierce generals are like clouds, and he will ascend to a noble position in the future, why not surrender to him, not to mention that the lord and he are old acquaintances, he will not be treated badly to the lord." ”
After hearing this, Gongsun Zan's heart rolled like a stormy wave, and he was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Okay, just follow your plan." Now reorganize the soldiers and horses, and prepare to fight out of the city to deal with Zhao Xu. "I repaired two more letters, and I stopped writing and writing, which took more than half an hour, even if I was going to send someone to Liu Bei and Zhao Xu. After all, this Gongsun Zan is also a hero, and if he suddenly becomes someone else's subordinate, he will inevitably feel a little unhappy.
Gongsun Zan immediately sent Yan Gang as the vanguard, himself in the center, gathered the whole army of soldiers, and killed Yuan Shaojun from the west gate of Jicheng at noon.
At noon that day, Yuan Shaozheng ordered the whole army to have a full meal and prepare to attack the city in the afternoon. Gongsun Zan suddenly killed, the Ximen soldiers were eating lunch by themselves, and before they could be on guard, they were caught off guard by Gongsun Zan.
Yuan Shao was eating, and suddenly the soldiers came to report, and Daogong Sun Zan broke through.
"Poof!" A bang. Yuan Shao spit out all the food in his mouth and shouted, "What! Take my sword and rob Gongsun Zan. Yuan Shao walked out of the tent and was colliding with a person, and Yuan Shao was knocked to the ground.
Seeing that time, it was Xu You, Xu You was shocked, hurriedly helped Yuan Shao, and shouted: "Capital crime, capital crime." Yuan Shao shook Xu You away and said angrily: "What are you doing here?" ”
Xu You hurriedly said: "I came here to persuade the lord not to chase Gongsun Zan." ”
"Why?"
"Lord, Gongsun Zan will leave when he leaves, this Jicheng is ours, now that Zhao Xubing is in the city, we have to gain a firm foothold first and occupy Youzhou before we can retreat from the enemy!"
Yuan Shao wanted to be reasonable, so he followed Xu Yu's plan, led troops into Jicheng, and hurriedly forcibly recruited troops to support Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
But said that Gongsun Zan broke through successfully, so he went to Zhao Xu, passing through Montenegro, and was blocked by tens of thousands of military horses. Gongsun Zan: "I am Gongsun Zan, who is the one who came?" ”
I saw that the leader arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be Gongsun Taishou, disrespectful, disrespectful, I am Zhang Yan of Montenegro, we are old acquaintances." "It turned out that when Gongsun Zan attacked Yuan Shao, he sent someone to contact Zhang Yan of Montenegro and invited him to attack Yuan Shao together, and Zhang Yan followed, which also led to Zhang Yan being broken by Yuan Shao and Lu Bu later, and suffered heavy losses.
Gongsun Zan heard that it was Zhang Yan of Montenegro, and said with great joy: "It turned out to be Brother Zhang Yan, it was rude, I was about to vote for Zhao Xu, and I was going to break Yuan Shao with him, so it would be better for my brother to go with me, and it would be better to live a life of guerrillas everywhere." ”
"Haha! I was broken by Yuan Shao, suffered heavy losses, I have long wanted to skin Yuan Shao alive, but I was unable to do it, I heard that Liu Bei was benevolent and righteous, and I had the intention to vote for him, not to mention that Zhao Xu and I are old acquaintances, and I will definitely be able to help me break Yuan Shao. ”
Gongsun praised the joy, and the two joined forces, and the seventy or eighty thousand troops came to Zhao Xu in a mighty way.
However, he said that Zhao Xu led the army to attack Zhangwu, and went out to call for battle, not wanting Yan Liang and Wen Chou to be free of battle cards, and closed the door all day long, for more than half a month. Dian Wei shouted hoarse in his throat, but Yan Liang and Wen Chou just closed the door.
Guan Yu said to Zhao Xu: "This Yan Liang and Wen Chou must be waiting for Yuan Shao's support, and we will wait for the battle line to be stretched again, if it continues to be consumed like this, we will suffer!" ”
Zhao Xu pondered: Zhang Wu is difficult to break for a while, it is better to turn around and go back, first capture Bohai and other important towns, anyway, Yuan Shao has not yet gained a firm foothold in Jizhou, first occupy Jizhou, and then attack Yuan Shao is not too late.
He immediately said: "Yun Chang, we might as well turn around and capture Bohai and other places, stabilize Jizhou, and then attack Yuan Shao." ”
While they were discussing, suddenly a soldier Pegasus came to report, saying that Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan of Montenegro had come to vote.
Not only Zhao Xu, Guan Yu and other generals were very surprised, Zhao Xu secretly thought, Gongsun Zan? Isn't he in Jicheng? There is also this Zhang Yan, Zhao Xu seems to have an impression in his memory, and he seems to recognize him, but Zhao Xu only remembers that after Zhang Yan of Montenegro in the Three Kingdoms was broken by Yuan Shao, it seems that he voted for Cao Cao, right? Why did you come with Gongsun Zan?
"Zilong, do you recognize this Black Mountain Zhang Yan?"
Zhao Yun was puzzled: "Big brother, why did you forget, Zhang Yan is our fellow countryman!" We also played with him as children. ”
Zhao Xu suddenly realized, it seems that Zhao Xu's memory in the later life affected the original Zhao Xu's memory. "Oh! It's like, let's go and meet it. ”
Zhao Xu led Guan Yu and the others out of the tent, and saw Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan waiting outside the village, and immediately walked out of the village. As soon as he went out, he shouted: "The two of you have been waiting for a long time, let's go and have a cup of tea first." ”
Zhao Xu was accustomed to the polite words of later generations, and only said Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan stunned, and the two of them thought, how can they have time to drink tea now! Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan immediately dismounted and stepped forward.
Gongsun Zan recognized Zhao Xu, Guan Yu and others when he met the alliance, and said: "Boxiong, Yun Chang, don't come unharmed." ”
Guan Yu immediately greeted Gongsun Zan, and also replied: "Don't come to harm, Gongsun Taishou is my brother's friend and my friend." Isn't Gongsun Taishou in Jicheng? How did you get here? ”
"Alas! Don't mention it, Yuan Shaogou jumped over the wall in a hurry, wanting to storm Jicheng, I can't hold it if I see it, I can't help it, so I abandon Jicheng and come here to meet each other. ”
"Like!" Zhao Xu and Guan Yu shouted in unison.
"Is that true?" Guan Yu asked.
"Of course, Brother Zhang Yan and I came to Xuande together, and I hope to take him in." Gongsun Zan looked at Zhang Yan, and Zhang Yan also nodded.
Zhao Xu, Guan Yu and others were all overjoyed.
Zhang Yan recognized Zhao Xu and Zhao Yun, greeted them, and shouted, "Boxiong and Zilong haven't seen each other for a long time!" ”
Zhao Xu and Zhao Yun also replied in return, and Zhao Xu said, "Don't be stunned, go in first." "Even if Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan are invited to enter the village, soldiers and horses are stationed outside the village.
