Chapter 343, Zhang Xiu's fate
Looking at the costumes, they are all Zhang Xiu's own soldiers, if it was Guan Hai's people who attacked him, he might be able to understand, but it turned out to be his own soldiers, Zhang Xiu really couldn't understand it.
These people are all dead soldiers of the spy shadow, and they mixed with Zhang Xiu's side early in the morning, the original purpose was to protect Xu Shu's safety, and now, they want to get rid of Zhang Xiu.
"Protect the general."
After a fierce battle, Zhang Xiu was injured, but still resisted stubbornly, and rushed over more than a dozen soldiers to defend Zhang Xiu to the death.
Those who tried to assassinate Zhang Xiu were all blocked out, Zhang Xiu thought that this was his own people, but these people suddenly turned around and rushed to kill him in unison.
Standing in the distance, he couldn't see what was happening around Zhang Xiu at all, because Zhang Xiu's side was his own 'soldiers'.
One group of people stabbed, another wave of people protected, and as a result, it was even more ruthless, and the people who protected were the ones who really wanted his life.
Not long after, Zhang Xiu fell in a pool of blood, and he didn't know what was going on until he died.
The battlefield was so chaotic that few people noticed it, and even if someone looked this way and was blocked by the killers, they couldn't see what was going on.
Originally, he wanted to kill Hu Che'er as well, but Hu Che'er was unlucky and died on the battlefield in advance and was killed by Jingzhou soldiers.
After the battle, everyone learned the news of Zhang Xiu's 'death', Xu Shu sighed helplessly, and had to gather the team together and hand it all over to Guan Hai.
Zhao Yun frowned, faintly feeling that this matter was too strange, Zhang Xiu's skills were very clear to him, he was a well-known fierce general, and it was impossible to die on the battlefield easily.
Seeing Xu Shu standing aside, Zhao Yun looked at him, Xu Shu looked away unnaturally, and Zhao Yun guessed that something was going on here.
Zhao Yun stepped over, "Yuan Zhi, what's going on?" ”
Xu Shu glanced around and sighed, "All this is arranged by the military advisor." ”
"Is it Jia Xu?"
Since it was Jia Xu's arrangement, it was not easy for him to pursue it.
After a while, a soldier came running, seeing that the outfit was Zhang Xiu's soldier, and when Zhao Yun approached, this person clicked on the ground with one leg and respectfully saluted Zhao Yun, "Hou Shun, the lowly assassin commander, see the lord." ”
"Oh? You were sent by Jia Xu? Zhao Yun asked.
"Exactly, Mr. said, this is the best destination for Zhang Xiu."
Zhao Yun thought about it, isn't it, in Sun Ce's mind, Zhang Xiu is at least a great hero, and he will bury Zhang Xiu well, after all, Zhang Xiu has helped Sun Ce a lot.
died heroically, this is indeed Zhang Xiu's best destination, but the truth made Zhao Yun silent for a long time.
He felt that Zhang Xiu was very pitiful, he had been used by Jia Xu, both his uncle and nephew died in a blur, Zhang Ji died in Chang'an, so that Zhao Yun successfully captured Chang'an and rescued the Han Emperor, while Zhang Xiu died in Jiangxia, seeing that Jiangxia was also within reach.
After a while, Zhao Yun ordered, "You must bury him well, after all, he has done so much for us." ”
Xu Shu nodded, "I understand." ”
After cleaning the battlefield in a hurry, Sun Ce immediately ordered to surround Jiangxia, and there were not many troops left around Kuai Yue.
Sun Ce was overjoyed in his heart, clenched his fists hard, and his eyes flashed with a compelling coldness, "Father, you wait, it won't be long before the child will cut off Kuai Yue's head with his own hands." ”
Soon, Zhao Yun was invited to Sun Ce's handsome tent, Sun Ce took Zhao Yun's hand, and said with sincere gratitude, "Zilong, thanks to you this time, otherwise, it would not be so easy to defeat Kuai Yue." ”
Zhao Yun smiled indifferently, "This is nothing, you and I are like brothers, why be so polite." ”
Sun Ce immediately asked people to put on a banquet, and other soldiers also made an exception to allow drinking, and the camp tent of the Jiangdong soldiers was very lively and jubilant.
Sun Quan was by Sun Ce's side, the more he drank, the more unpleasant he felt in his heart, he didn't trust Zhao Yun, but after the battle, instead of dispelling his doubts, he felt that Zhao Yun was scheming and very powerful, which made him feel more dangerous.
In this battle, no less than 20,000 enemies were killed, and Kuai Yue's soldiers and horses were almost exhausted, and all of this was Zhao Yun's credit.
While drinking stuffy wine, Sun Quan was thinking wildly, and when he connected with Zhao Yun's experience since his debut, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this person was incredible.
Sun Quan found that so far Zhao Yun has not lost a single battle, and only once has he not won a big victory, and he has also fought a draw with Zhang He.
Zhao Yun often won more with less, and his achievements were outstanding, from which it can be inferred that this person was both wise and brave, and extremely good at using soldiers.
The more Sun Quan thought about it, the more he felt that Zhao Yun was terrible, he thought that even if his father was not killed by Zhao Yun, this person was too dangerous, and now that the eldest brother was so close to him, Sun Quan secretly pinched a cold sweat, he was worried that Zhao Yun had other plans, he must be using Sun Ce.
Speaking of exploitation, Sun Quan did not guess wrong, since the two families have formed an alliance, to put it bluntly, they will use each other more or less, Zhao Yun helped Sun Ce deal with Kuai Yue this time, why wasn't he used by Jiangdong, but he and Sun Ce were heart-to-heart and like-minded, and this kind of use was willingly made by both parties.
Sun Quan's expression, Zhao Yun saw it, but he didn't pay attention to it.
Zhao Yun didn't know why, it seemed that the two of them were born on the wrong path, and they were a bit of a rush!
is like Zhang Zuolin and Du Lisan in "Heroes in Troubled Times", as soon as they met, Du Lisan saw that Zhang Zuolin was not pleasing to the eye, and wanted to harm him several times.
For Sun Ce, the longer the contact time, the more Zhao Yun understands that Sun Jian is simply carved out of the same mold, not only looks like him, but he also doesn't want to die in battle, he rushes to the front at every turn, and his fierce momentum is scary to look at, which is one of his great advantages, and it is also a major fatal flaw.
As a commander, it is irrational to rush to the front at every turn, the sword has no eyes, anything can happen on the battlefield, maybe a cold arrow can kill him.
And this kind of personality is not only reflected on the battlefield, but on weekdays, Sun Ce is not afraid of heaven and earth, and dares to travel at will with only a few people.
In addition, Sun Ce also has a brutal side, those Jingzhou soldiers who stayed outside the city could obviously surrender, but he didn't do it, and he was stunned to kill them all.
Zhao Yun had also heard about Sun Ce's murder and slaughter of the city, and he was there in person, and the two fought side by side, only to know that the rumors were true.
Kuai Yue climbed the city wall, held the battlement and looked down, and the camp of the Jiangdong soldiers advanced a large section forward, only two hundred meters away from the city wall, just a stone's throw away.
Looking at his side again, there are still three or four thousand people left, all of them with crooked armor, embarrassed, and demoralized to the extreme, Jiangdong soldiers besiege the city on all sides, the water in the siege is impassable, and the situation is extremely urgent.
