622nd Battle of the Five Counties 4
Jia San is a local, so naturally he doesn't want to give up this only task he can do.
"Oh! Are you sure? Jia San, you must know that the county commander Du Xi is the person who Ben Sima must kill, if you can't get his head back, Ben Sima Ke will ask for your head! Zhang Long said this, not to scare Jia San, but to tell the truth.
The person who makes Gongzi Jin Jue attach so much importance to it, if he can't take it back for his own use, then he must be killed.
Just like before, when the Liyang Xianjianghuai Heroes Meeting, Wei Yan secretly sent Wei Ming to assassinate Chen Jiao and Xu Xuan, who left early, and the two of them were named and commented on by Jin Jue, at that time, these two people showed disdain for Jin Juejun and Liu Beijun, and even hostile, how could Wei Yan spare the two of them?
However, fortunately, Zhu Ji, who left almost at the same time, survived, and the two of them were not actually included in the assassination by Wei Yan.
This also makes who killed Chen Jiao and Xu Xuan a mystery case that no one can solve, because these two self-proclaimed talented scholars offended not only Wei Yan's lord Jin Jue, but also Liu Bei.
As soon as he heard this, Jia San also heard that Zhang Long's words were true, and he immediately knelt on the ground on his knees, kowtowed to Zhang Long heavily, and then raised his head and replied loudly: "Lord Sima, the villain is willing to make a military order." ”
Obviously, for a military position, this time, Jia San also fought hard. Because, he, as well as the other leaders in Zhang Longjun's army, knew in their hearts that if he could become a fake Sima this time, later, when Fu Tong, the Taishou of Nanyang County, really talked about his merits, the fake Sima would most likely be appointed as the county magistrate responsible for governing a county.
"Hmmm! All right! Ben Sima agreed, and sent you five hundred men. Jia San, listen up, you or send your cronies to ride horses to track down the whereabouts of Du Xian and his party, and then leave markers along the way for the follow-up troops to catch up. According to Ben Sima's estimate, there are about a hundred more subordinates in the hands of that dog officer, so you must be cautious when you lead people to pursue him.
If the soldiers in the hands of the dog officer are very strong, you don't need to be desperate, you just need to force him in Bowang County or Pheasant County, and when the time comes, Ma Sima or Zhao Sima will help you clean up the dog officer. Remember, don't care about face, and don't care about what happened during the chase, when you come back to hand over the business, Ben Sima only needs to see the head of the dog officer.
Jia San, do you remember? Zhang Long was afraid that Jia San would underestimate the enemy, and after agreeing to his request, he not only gave him a strategy on how to pursue and kill Du Xian, but also repeatedly admonished him.
In fact, Zhang Long was worried in vain, although Jia San wanted to make meritorious contributions, but he was more afraid of death than anyone else. Therefore, he went to track down Du Raid, and before the troops in his hands caught up, he would never dare to rashly launch an attack on Du Raid and his subordinates.
Five days later, Zhang Long completed the task of reorganizing the army in the county seat of Xi'e County, and selected a few people with a good reputation from the original subordinate officials and officials of Xi'e County, but they were not reused by Du Xi, and let them undertake the task of moving all the people of Xi'e County to Xinye County or south of Hanshui.
Then, Zhang Long and Ma Han were to lead their armies to the north to attack Duyang County and Ye County respectively, because Xi'e County was close to Duyang County, so Zhang Long's second offensive target was Duyang County, and Ma Han's second offensive target was Ye County.
On the contrary, Zhao Hu, who had already captured Bowang County at this time, felt extremely depressed in his heart, because the sudden appearance of the little man Bai Liu easily took Li County, so that he had no chance to lead troops to attack the city for the time being, and it must be very uncomfortable for a militant like him.
Fortunately, Fu Tong handed over more important tasks to him, and Zhang Hu was full of expectations for the next defense of Lixian County.
Unlike Zhang Long and Ma Han, after the two of them conquered the two more counties, they had to get Biyang County and Shunyang County, which were almost at the same latitude as Xinye County, to take office.
Zhang Longshuai walked halfway and met Jia San, who was rushing to Xi'e County.
"Jia San, how is the task completed?" Seeing Jia San hurrying away on a horse, Zhang Long shouted at him.
Zhang Long was going to attack Duyang County, which was a task that Fu Tong had arranged in advance, so the officers in Zhang Long's army knew about it.
Jia San followed the sound and saw that it was Zhang Long, he hurriedly jumped off his mount, threw the reins to his subordinates, and then hurriedly ran to Zhang Long's horse, knelt down on one knee and replied: "Ah! Master Sima, you're already on your way! This time, the villain, fortunately, has completed the task and brought back the head of the Du Dog Officer, please send someone to check! ”
"Hmmm! Got it, by the way, what about the dog officer's men? Zhang Long glanced at the subordinates brought by Jia San, and couldn't help frowning, it turned out that the team of five hundred people at the time of departure was now only about four hundred and fifty, and there were more than a dozen wounded soldiers among them.
Jia San peeked at the look on Zhang Long's face, hurriedly kowtowed three times in a row, and took the initiative to plead guilty: "Please Lord Sima to condemn the villain." Du Gouguan is too cunning, and his subordinates easily caught up with him, but this guy didn't fall for it at all, he seemed to know that Bowang County and Pheasant County had problems at the same time, and when he fled north, he actually ran directly at the junction of the two counties.
The subordinates also had no choice, so they found an opportunity when they were burying the pot and launched a general attack. The soldiers who protected the dog officer and fled for their lives were like crazy, and they fought desperately with their brothers. Although all of them were killed after the battle, the 500 soldiers you handed over to your subordinates actually killed 45 brothers and wounded more than 20 in this battle.
According to your orders, your subordinates have sent more than a dozen seriously injured brothers to the nearest Pheasant County, but according to a brother who returned, only one of the dozen brothers arrived in Pheasant County alive.
Woo woo woo ......! After saying that, Jia San actually cried bitterly in front of the whole army.
Among the Cao Jun officials who served in Nanyang that Jin Jue focused on, Du Xian was extremely good at winning people's hearts, and he himself still had a certain military ability, whether it was Fu Tong or Zhang Long, they had already known and prepared in their hearts.
However, what Zhang Long really didn't expect was that 500 people fought 100 people, and it was still in the wild, and with the advantage of numbers, this small local battle actually turned out like this, which was somewhat unexpected by him.
Looking at the soldiers brought back by Hou San, especially those who were injured, Zhang Long couldn't help but sigh.
However, Zhang Long also knew very well in his heart that a small battle caused such a large number of casualties, but he did not blame Jia San, who was the main general. If you want to blame, you can only blame Du Xian, who is already dead, is too cunning and vigilant.
Fortunately, the person who wanted to kill finally died at the hands of the unsightly bandit leader in front of him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Long shook his head, cleared the distracting thoughts in his mind, jumped off the war horse, handed over the reins to the guards on the side, he came to Jia San, leaned over and personally helped Jia San, who was kneeling on the ground with his head down, and his heart was up and down.
"Hehehe!" Seeing Jia San's eyes looking at him with some fear, Zhang Long chuckled three times and said warmly: "Jia San, this battle is unfavorable, it is Ben Sima's failure to think it through, not your fault alone. What's more, Ben Sima also said that as long as you succeed in killing Du Xian, it will be a great achievement. Now that the task has been completed, how can Ben Sima blame you? ”
"Thank you, Lord Sima, thank you, Lord Sima." After Jia San heard this, he really almost cried, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and replied happily.
"Jia San, don't be in a hurry to thank me first. Ben Sima also has good news to tell you, since you killed Du Xun and did an excellent job of completing the task assigned to you by Ben Sima, this time, Ben Sima sent troops, and you don't have to follow anymore. Speaking of this, Zhang Long deliberately paused his words a little badly, he was going to see Jia San's reaction after hearing the news.
Sure enough, when Jia San heard this, he was first overjoyed and then surprised, only by following Zhang Long could he have the opportunity to continue to make meritorious contributions, since he had completed the task excellently, then why didn't Zhang Long let himself follow?
"Hahaha!" Seeing Jia San's look of surprise, Zhang Long suddenly laughed out loud three times and said, "How about it, Jia San, you didn't expect it!" This is what Fu Taishou ordered before leaving. ”
