Chapter 068: Running back and forth
Huangpu Song and Zhu Wei are killing Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao is inseparable, one day, Huang Pu Song personally went out to boost morale, when the morale of the officers and soldiers was great, and once again launched a charge against the Yellow Turban Army, at this time, Zhu Wei also led the army to kill, the two armies were killed, a melee, Zhang Liang Zhang Bao saw that it was difficult to win, so he took the army to retreat into the Changshe to rest while fighting.
As a result, the terrain of Changshe was low-lying and the thatch was luxuriant, and in fact, these tens of thousands of troops fell asleep on the haystack with Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao.
Huangpu Song and Zhu Yun, who retreated, were also exhausted, but as a family of generals, in addition to their ancestors who led troops to fight for generations, some taboos in the army were still known, although they were exhausted, they still sent scouts to observe the enemy's movements, carefully patrol the camp, and wait for the next day to fight again.
At this time, the reconnaissance of the enemy's reconnaissance horse came back to report that the Yellow Turban Army camped in a long depression not far away, and did not set up a fence, let alone dig a trench, and tens of thousands of troops fell asleep in that depression, and there were almost no patrol posts around, let alone release three miles of exploration horses according to the rules.
Huangpu Song and Zhu Yan immediately brightened their eyes, and hurriedly asked a local official who was familiar with the terrain to inquire about the situation of Changshe, and this official who was familiar with the terrain carefully explained the situation in the Changshe area, and even pointed out the depression where the thieves camped, and the grass was waist-high.
Whampoa Song and Zhu Yun decided at that time that the army would launch a fire attack on the Yellow Turban Army tonight, regardless of the fatigue of the battle.
The two ordered the soldiers, each holding a handful of hay, at midnight, quietly touched the depression of the Changshe, directly threw the thatch around, and then gave an order, lit on all sides, and should also be helped by God, at this time it happened that the southwest wind atmosphere, there was no ten, there were seven or eight levels, and in a blink of an eye, this depression was burned into a sea of fire, when tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army, it was burned to cry dad and mother, crying bitterly, in a huge panic, the soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not find the soldiers, which added to the chaos.
The two brothers, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, suddenly woke up when they were burning their eyebrows, and when they jumped up, they saw that the Zhou Dynasty was already a sea of fire, and tens of thousands of their brothers were wailing and struggling in the sea of fire, and in the distance, there was already the sound of officials and soldiers shouting and killing.
At that time, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao already knew that the general trend had gone, the horses were not as good as the saddle, and the people were not as good as the armor, so with a group of personal guards, they fled directly to the north in the chaos of the army.
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun chased after him, so, the two sides fought again, and finally at dawn, the official army was entangled by the defeated soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, which made Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao break away from the team, looking at the smoke-billowing Changshe area, there were still shouts and killings kept coming, Zhang Liang Zhang Bao could only look at the fire and sigh, gather the people in his hands, after a simple inventory, I couldn't help but feel sad from it, the original 100,000 troops under their own hands, at this time there was no surplus of about 30,000, and one by one with smoke and fire, In a dilemma.
At this time, Zhang Bao asked Zhang Liang: "Brother, where should we go next?" ”
Zhang Liang looked around, and finally decided: "Brother, you and I are here to lose our troops and lose our troops, and we can no longer become the climate, I think we should simply go north, meet with the eldest brother, and then make plans." ”
Zhang Bao thought about it, and now it can only be like this, so he agreed with the second brother's opinion, and prepared to pack up his people and go to the northeast to meet Zhang Jiao.
A group of embarrassed defeated soldiers were walking, but suddenly there was a lot of noise in front of them, and they saw a group of strong officers and soldiers blocking the way, and a general at the head, with a red face and a long beard, but he didn't know who it was, Zhang Liang urged him to step forward and shouted at the generals of the official army, "Who will come, and the name will be killed." ”
This is not according to the rules of romance, nor is it according to the rules handed down from ancient times, the generals of the two sides have a heads-up, but it is really Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao's defeated army has lost morale, chaos, and there is no order, at this time Zhang Liang jumped out to play this trick, is to hope that this time of dialogue between the generals of the two sides will give his younger brother Zhang Bao a precious time to rectify the army.
And the generals of the other party did not expect that they would suddenly encounter such a large number of defeated troops, and the entire army was also marching in the form of a column, so in order to gain time, he laughed and stepped forward and reported to Zhang Liang: "Certain, the official worships the cavalry captain, and the native of Peiguo is also from the county, and his surname is Cao Ming, and the word Mengde."
Well, everyone wanted to delay time, so they chatted about the gods of Tiannan and Haibei, and everyone thought that even the other party's ancestors had finished greetings, and this battle could be fought, so the topic was suddenly cut off, and Cao Cao launched an attack first.
Now Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao's men and horses are already frightened birds, plus a night of scuffle, even if he is given time to sort out, it will not work, so Cao Cao won easily. In fact, the original nonsense was not needed at all, Cao Cao attacked directly, maybe it would be easier to win, and it was not Cao Cao's suspicious mistake? As a result, the work was delayed, so after a fight, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were of course defeated, Cao Cao killed tens of thousands of heads, but he also lost 500 men.
The victorious Cao Cao personally met with Huangpu Song and Zhu Yun.
At this time, Cao Cao did not have the arrogance he had later, he was very respectful to this court boss of countless levels of his own, and even dedicated the treasure Zhu Yu that he had captured, and won the favor of these two bigwigs.
After a night of hard fighting, Huangpu Song and Zhu Yun were also exhausted, so they handed over the task of pursuing Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was overjoyed, and beat the water dog, this is an opportunity to give himself military merits, so after a thousand thanks, he took his four thousand men and horses, and directly looked at the direction where Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao escaped and chased down.
Liu Bei didn't have such a good fate, not to mention that he said that he was the first unlucky guy in the Three Kingdoms, when he came in a hurry with the three brothers of Guan, Zhang and Lu, the battle was over, he didn't catch anything, not only tired like a dog didn't get any military merits, but also made Huangpu Song and Zhu Yun dislike, the reason is that when I was in the middle of the battle, I went to your Lu Zhi to ask for help, but you always said no, now I am victorious here, you send a group of militia to reinforce you, what do you mean? Let you, the militia commander, take the credit? There is no door, if it weren't for the fact that Huangpu Song and Lu Zhi had a good relationship, maybe, with Zhu Yan's violent temper, he would directly pull Liu Bei to vent his anger.
This is fate, Cao Cao can pick up a bargain halfway, but Liu Bei just picks up a grievance, this person and people's lives are so out of tune.
Now that the war is over, it won't be interesting for the four of you brothers to come again, and I don't want to share the military merits with you, so you can go back.
So, thousands of miles of reinforcements came, and they were sent back by a word, Liu Bei sighed but was helpless, so he took a group of brothers to turn the horse's head and walked back, along the way, Liu Bei comforted the three brothers of Guan Zhang and Lu, who were downcast: "Originally, I came to join the teacher this time, and then served under his old man's account, we fought under the account of the teacher, how will we not be buried in the war exploits, and when the yellow scarves are peaceful in the future, everyone can also reward their merits and seal their wives and sons." ”
When Guan Zhang heard this, his blood boiled again, so he was excited again. Even Xi Zhen and Xu Jie are eager to try.
