Chapter 444: This time, that time
Wulu looked at the sumptuous wine and food, but he had no appetite at all. He rushed to Luoyang day and night, not to eat, but to save his life. Every day he delayed, the bitter chieftain and Yu Poison, who were cut off by Zhu Ling, were one step closer to the annihilation of the entire army. originally thought that Zhu Jun was in a hurry to King Qin and would treat the Montenegrin Army with great courtesy, but he didn't expect that before he could say anything, he was pulled away by Sun Ce.
Sun Ce must have hated Zhang Yan for not giving his father Sun Jian face, and refused their solicitation. Of course, it may also be that he has colluded with Yuan Tan, I heard that he had Yingchuan some time ago, and he had a very close relationship with Yuan Tan's envoy. However, this possibility is not very large, he should not know about the bitter chieftain and Yu Poison being surrounded by Yuan Tan and Zhu Ling.
What kind of conditions can make him send troops to the rescue?
Wulu suffered from gains and losses, and could not swallow, but his entourage was hungry and devoured, and after a while, he ate all the food on the table, and even called out the good taste. Wulu looked at the food in front of him that had not moved a few chopsticks and pushed it over.
"Eat, I don't have an appetite."
Wulu's entourage is from humble backgrounds, and they don't know how to be gentle and frugal to let these things, for them, joining the Yellow Turban Army is to eat, life and death are unpredictable, after eating this meal, they don't know where the next meal is, as long as they have the opportunity, even if they are full, they will eat as many bites as possible. What's more, after a few days of traveling, it is rare to come across such a sumptuous meal, and I am sorry for myself if I don't eat it.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Wulu's food was divided by them.
Guo Jia walked in with square steps, shook the feather fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's better for the Taoist to eat a little, go on the road on an empty stomach, I don't know when I will be able to eat." ”
Wulu was taken aback, straightened up vigilantly, pressed the long knife on his waist, and his entourage was also startled and scrambled to get up. Guo Jia smiled and waved his feather fan. "You don't have to be nervous, my body is bones, and I don't have any martial arts at first glance, how can it be unfavorable to you. In Xiayingchuan Guo Jia, begging for food under the command of the rebellious general. The rebellious general is accompanying the captain to a banquet, I can't drink, come and talk to you. ”
Wulu looked Guo Jia up and down, and saw that he was indeed not like a powerful person, and he also felt that he was making a little fuss, so he hurriedly signaled his entourage to relax.
"Dare to ask what position Mr. has under the command of the rebellious general?"
"Military conspiracy. It's just an idea and a mouthful. Haha, ashamed, ashamed. ”
Wulu laughed, thinking that Guo Jia was interesting, and his expression relaxed a little, somewhat disdainful. After reading a book for a few days, I can say a few sentences of poetry, I can't pick my shoulders, I can't lift my hands, I can't be an official, I can only rely on people to live a mixed life, what is there to respect for such a person. Speaking of military strategy, does he know what it is like to fight?
"What did Mr. mean when he said he was on the road on an empty stomach?" Wulu tried to pretend to be careless, but the corners of his eyes twitched. Zhu Jun was pulled away by Sun Ce just now, and now Sun Ce's staff said this again, is this to drive people out?
"What it means, it's very clear, the Montenegrin army has a lot of days, and it is a bite to eat." Guo Jia waved his hand and ordered people to serve some more wine and food. The attendant quickly brought some more food and put it in front of Wulu, as well as a statue of wine. Guo Jia picked up a vegetarian spoon and added some wine to Wulu. "Why, Zhang Dashuai thinks that the world is in chaos, the court is moving, and the Montenegrin Army can command the world, and even Captain Zhu has to bow down and obey orders?"
Wulu held the wine glass, but couldn't drink a sip. He heard what Guo Jia meant. Guo Jia didn't even mention Zhang Yan's official position as a general, and clearly wanted to treat them as thieves, how could he still save them. Needless to say, this is Sun Ce holding a grudge and resolutely obstructing Zhu Jun from rescuing the Montenegrin army. So far, if you don't bow your head, this may really be the last meal you will eat in Luoyang.
"Sir's words are serious, how dare General Zhang be so rebellious, isn't this ...... Come and ask Zhu Jun for help. ”
"Asking for help?" Guo Jia feigned puzzlement. "Didn't the Montenegrin Army join forces with Gongsun Zhan to attack Yuan Shao, and want to ally with the Qingzhou Yellow Turban in Yanzhou? General Sun went to contact on the order of Captain Zhu, you don't have time to connect, the situation is very good, why do you need help? ”
Wulu gritted his teeth and poured a glass of wine into his mouth. The wine was warm and sweet in the mouth, but he found it very bitter. Guo Jia is clear about the recent situation of the Montenegrin army, it is impossible to hide it from him, if he doesn't tell the truth, just wait to be driven out.
"Sir...... Do you know about the Battle of the Boundary Bridge? ”
"I don't know." Guo Jia smiled even more proudly, the feather fan shook gently, and the cool breeze was blowing.
"Alas, I won't hide it from my husband now. Mr. Dare to teach learned that Gongsun Zhan was defeated, and now Yuan Shao has returned to Yecheng, hating that our army had attacked Yecheng, attacking in a big way, and committing our Montenegrin ......"
After Gongsun Zhan broke the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, he gained momentum and entered Jizhou, intending to fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shao. At that time, not to mention Zhang Yan and others, even many heroes in Jizhou felt that Gongsun Chan had won this time, and many people betrayed Yuan Shao and switched to Gongsun Chan.
Zhang Yan is no exception. In order to fight for the first credit, he was also very active, taking advantage of Yuan Shao to lead the main force to attack, confronting Gongsun Zhan, Yecheng was empty, he sent Yu Poison and others to attack Yecheng, conquered it in one fell swoop, and arrested all the family members of Yuan Shao's subordinate martial arts, just waiting for Yuan Shao's whole army to collapse, and Gongsun Chan then covered up and occupied the entire Jizhou.
So a few months ago, when Sun Jian went to contact Zhang Yan, Yang Feng, Zhang Baiqi and others, Zhang Yan was the most proud time in his life, and he really had no interest in paying attention to Sun Jian. Seeing that he is about to share Hebei with Gongsun Zhan, who wants to go to Jiangnan Tuntian.
No one expected that the final result would be that Yuan Shao won and Gongsun Chan lost.
Zhang Yan didn't expect that there were traitors within the Yellow Turban Army, and Tao Sheng took the family members of Yuan Shao's generals out of Yecheng and returned them to Yuan Shao.
In this way, Yuan Shao had no worries and attacked with all his might, not only recovering Yecheng, but also counterattacking Montenegro. After his victory over Gongsun Zhan, his morale was strong, and the counties sent troops one after another in order to atone for their crimes, and their strength increased sharply, but the people in the Black Mountain Army were panicked, and the defectors were defeated one after another, losing tens of thousands of people before and after, and their vitality was greatly damaged.
In desperation, Zhang Yan had to send someone to contact the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, hoping to get support. Qingzhou Yellow Turban responded, quickly advanced into Yanzhou, and won one after another. Seeing that he was about to join forces with Yu Poison and others, he didn't expect Yuan Shao to send his eldest son Yuan Tan to attack, and he and Liu Bei were one east and one west, and they cut off the road of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans to the west. Yu Poison and Ku Chieftain found that the situation was not right, and wanted to retreat to Montenegro, but Zhu Ling cut off the way to retreat, and now the food is cut off, and the whole army may be wiped out at any time. Zhang Yan went south to respond, but was stopped by Zhang Yang, the Taishou of Hanoi, and it was difficult to move an inch. had no choice but to ask Zhu Jun for help.
After hearing this, Guo Jia still shook his head. "There is no time to lose. Since you have rejected Captain Zhu's order, you are rebellious. There has always been only one way to deal with rebellion, and that is to kill them all. You have offended Yuan Shao, and Captain Zhu can get rid of you without a single soldier, why not? Dao Chief, drink two more glasses, and then you will be on the road later. ”
Where can Wulu drink, begging again and again. He knew very well that the problem now was not Zhu Jun, but Sun Ce. Zhu Jun wanted the Montenegrin army to support him as King Qin. As long as Sun Ce does not object, Zhu Jun will definitely send reinforcements.
"I can't really help you with this." Guo Jia smiled. "I can recommend someone, though."
"Who?"
"Runan Yellow Turban is handsome, Gong Du."
