Chapter 111: Returning in Defeat
It wasn't until Wen Chou led his troops away and Zuo Ci confirmed that Yuan Shao had really retreated, that Zhang Liao ordered the vigilant soldiers to clean up the battlefield everywhere. Although www.biquge.info the general trend has been set now, there are still many chaotic soldiers on the battlefield, which must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise it will also be a hidden danger. There are also those scattered war horses, each of which is a treasure, and they must all be brought back.
Seeing a few generals going their separate ways, Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief, and for a while he only felt the scorching pain of the staff wound at the hips, and he had just gone deep into the five hundred archers, and he also suffered a lot of injuries, but fortunately, the armor protection, plus his own blocking, was not too serious.
At this time, it was past ugly, this night attack was much more difficult than imagined, and the generals and soldiers under Yuan Shao were not mediocre, and he estimated that all the troops and horses were damaged, but he didn't know what the damage was.
At this time, there was a sharp sound of gold in the southern camp, as well as the shout of "Yuan Shao is dead, retreat quickly", and a smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Liao's mouth, the battle on the southern battlefield should be almost over.
He looked further south, across the river was Mengjin, where Hu Zhen, who was supposed to help, did not move at all, fortunately, he had not thought about Hu Zhen's reinforcements.
He sneered, and suddenly his heart moved, and he immediately summoned two soldiers and ordered them to hurry back to Xiaopingjin to report to Dong Zhuo.
At this time, Zuo Ci, who went to check the movements of Yuan Shao and Wen Chou, rushed back and circled around Zhang Liao twice: "I didn't expect your dog boy to really defeat Yuan Shao with three thousand miscellaneous soldiers, tsk, now you are going to be famous all over the world." ”
Zhang Liao smiled and did not speak. At this time, he suddenly did not have such a thirst for fame, after this battle, he realized his own shortcomings, the combat effectiveness of his soldiers and horses was still far behind, and now he was more looking forward to the improvement of strength.
After defeating Yuan Shao, the military position of Captain Humeng must have been stabilized, and now he should be planning to improve his hard power, including the expansion of troops, the training of combat effectiveness, and sophisticated equipment and war horses.
There were thousands of prisoners in the previous battle at Qingfengling Ferry, plus the prisoners in this battle, if they were all protected from Dong Zhuo, the source of troops would be enough, and they could expand the troops together with Master Jia Xu.
And what he really wants to fight for is the thousands of war horses and Yuan Shao's baggage, especially the war horses, which are extremely important to him, he likes lightning raids the most, and a cavalry can undoubtedly make him like a tiger.
But how to win these war horses from Dong Zhuo requires him to put some thought into it.
Zhang Liao was thinking about it, and Zuo Ci suddenly asked: "Dog boy, since you had planned to let Yuan Shao go, why did you humiliate and anger him in every way?" What the hell is the idea? ”
"What the hell can I do?" Zhang Liao raised his eyebrows: "It's just pulling hatred." ”
"Pull hatred?" Zuo Ci was even more confused.
Zhang Liao smiled: "Yuan Shao, these Kwantung princes are not good goods, they can't let them harm the place, if they want to harm Dong Zhuo, I happen to be under Dong Zhuo, hehe, as long as they have enough hatred, let them want to cut me with a thousand knives, every day in addition to eating and sleeping is thinking about beating Zhang Liao and beating Dong Zhuo, then I just happen to have a battle to fight, lest Dong Zhuo hide all the birds and kill two birds with one stone." ”
"You are really ......" Zuo Ci was dumbfounded, and before the word shameless could be spit out, Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "I found that the more I learn with you, the more shameless I become."
"Mother, Xipi! You're a shameless kid. Zuo Ci scolded.
When the bright moon sank in the west, all the battles of the battalions ended, and the southern camp captured the drunken enemy general Chun Yuqiong alive.
Zhang Liao counted the battle situation, and after a night of hard fighting, more than 500 of the 3,000 soldiers and horses were lost, and more than 300 were seriously injured.
For the night attack, this was already a big casualty, and Fan Chou's losses were the most serious, more than two hundred, mainly because he underestimated the enemy when he attacked Yuan Shao's central army, and met Yuan Shao's most elite troops, as well as the fierce general Wen Chou.
Seeing that Fan Chou was quite depressed, Zhang Liao asked him to collect the rescued Qianghu captives, which made Fan Chou's spirits lifted.
The 2,000 Qianghu prisoners also suffered a lot of losses, some of them were killed and wounded in the battle with Yuan Shao's army, and the rest were lost in the chaotic battle.
After counting the battle situation, it was already dawn, Zhang Liao ordered Gao Shun to guard the prisoners and war horses, Gao Shun would not kill the prisoners, he was also relieved, as for Fan Chou, he took a group of Qiang Hu soldiers to continue to clean the battlefield, bury the enemy's corpses, and collect their weapons and armor.
Zhang Liao took 800 soldiers to ride to the northeast, and he wanted to continue to "hunt down" Yuan Shao, lest someone complain to Dong Zhuo afterwards and give him the charge of letting Yuan Shao go. He now has a lot of internal enemies, and he has to guard against them.
Of course, he also has an important goal on this trip, he wants to find a person, the famous Sima Yi in the future! Sima Yi's ancestral home is in Xiaojingli, Wen County.
Sima Yi doesn't seem to be big now, he should only be in his teens, but isn't this his chance, what does it take to look at the thatched house, care about him, just catch him directly!
Zhang Liao thought viciously, a little kid can't be cured, what are you messing with! Educate well, as long as you control the family properly, you will also be a good seedling in the future.
If you have to let Sima Yi go when you get to the ground, then you really have to regret it.
When Zuo Ci heard that Zhang Liao was looking for Sima Yi, he couldn't help but laugh excitedly.
It is only a dozen miles away from Xiaojingli in Wenxian County, and there are two old horses who know the way of Yang Han and Jiang Qi, who go straight to the goal all the way and move very fast.
However, when they inquired in Xiaojingli, Zhang Liao was immediately disappointed, and the villagers there told them that the current Sima Yi family did not live in the old house, but stayed in Luoyang with their father's secretary and servant Sima Fang.
Got early on your own? Zhang Liao couldn't help but be helpless, if Sima Yizhen was still in Luoyang, it would not be easy to do, Dong Zhuo would not let himself come to his heart.
Coming in a hurry and returning in defeat, Zhang Liao was a little depressed.
People are really incomparable, Yuan Shao has a good background, high reputation, just pouting his ass, there are countless celebrities and fierce generals who rush to hot face and cold ass, he wants to accept a talent, but how difficult it is, he has tried his best, tried his best, and did not see much effect.
Zhao Wu and Jia Ji saw that Zhang Liao was in a bad mood, and they didn't dare to ask more, now Zhang Liao's prestige is very high, not only law enforcement is like a mountain, but also led a group of recruits, with the weak to attack the strong, even broke Wang Kuang, Yuan Shao, the record is brilliant, so that the hearts of the soldiers under the heart is already extremely worshipped.
After coming out of filial piety, Zhang Liao saw that it was already three poles, so he decided to return.
In this troubled world, to rise, it still depends on talents. Damn, when I go back, I will definitely subdue Han Hao's guy and take him under his command, as well as Gao Shun, if you can't move Gao Shun, you can start with Lu Bu and see if you can discuss it with Lu Bu.
He was thinking about various means in his mind, and just after walking far, Zuo Ci suddenly shouted: "Good boy, your luck is here!" Haha, I can't recruit a general. ”
