Ten miles outside the city of Changshan County, a team of people and horses stood still, as if waiting for something.

The hussars and horses were all cavalry, they were surrounded by a Confucian scholar dressed as a scholar, staring at the front in unison, and no one spoke, and the scene was silent and terrible for a while.

Suddenly, a fast horse came in front of him, and as soon as he arrived in front of this cavalry team, the scout on horseback immediately turned over and dismounted, walked to the Confucian mount and replied: "Mr. Xu, there are a large number of soldiers in front of our army who have fled, I am afraid that the battle situation is not good!" ”

The Confucian boy lightly twisted the goat's whiskers, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he snorted lightly, and then said sarcastically: "Yan Liang is just stubborn for his own use, eat this defeat, see how he goes back to meet the lord!" …… Revisit! ”

"No!" The scout was ordered to get on his horse and gallop away, seeing that the direction he was going was the county town of Changshan.

"Cluck, cluck, cluck......"

The scout had not gone far when a group of cavalry from the rear followed, led by a young general, armed with an iron spear, and imposing.

The Confucian only glanced at the front with disdain, but the young military general stepped forward and came to the Confucian and asked: "Sir, the last general heard that the general's soldiers have shown signs of rout, I am afraid that the situation is not favorable to our army, the last general will not dare to slack off, and he will come to listen to the tune before the battle!" ”

The Confucian student's face was calm, and he couldn't see any changes, so he only heard his angry reply: "Captain Zhang He, you were ordered to guard the plank road, and you have already asked the enemy to break through the defense line before, and now you have left your post without permission, you, can you be guilty?" ”

The young military general is none other than Zhang He, who defended the secret plank road before, Zhang He at this time served as a captain under Yuan Shao's account, but because of his outstanding ability and high ability, Yuan Shaojun's soldiers are all called "generals" as they are called by their names, and they are called "captains" by their names as they are now, and there are very few under Yuan Shao's account.

However, Zhang He didn't seem to have a little temper in front of this person, and only listened to his plea and said: "Please forgive me, Zhang He is also a last resort, now the general's military horse is deep in the Changshan County City Life and death are uncertain, the last general also listened to the scout to report, saying that the general may be in danger, so the last general handed over all the matters of the plank road to the deputy general to deal with, and hurried to the front line, I don't want to, I met Mr. Xu here!" ”

Confucian Sheng was very satisfied with Zhang He's attitude, and his attitude was naturally not as stiff as before, so he only listened to his commanding words: "Yan Liang is to blame, if he had listened to a certain plan early and concentrated all his forces to attack one door, how could he have fallen into such a field." Now that the army is defeated, even if you and I rush to the rescue, it will only be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and it will only add a few lives! ”

Zhang He was shocked when he heard this, and immediately dismounted and knelt down and pleaded: "Sir, you can't help but save the general!" With the observation of the last general, Changshan County has now reached the point of exhaustion, and we are now leading the soldiers and horses of this battalion into the city, not only can we save the general, but also set up this immortal feat, isn't it killing two birds with one stone! ”

"Meritorious? You don't listen to Yan Liang's bold words before he set out on the expedition, from a certain point of view, it is his Yan Liang's merit to win the battle, and I am afraid that it will be our guilt if he loses the battle! Instead of risking into the city to achieve his feats, it is better for us to guard the base camp and wait for the lord's reinforcements, even if the lord is held accountable, this previous battle can be regarded as his Yan Liang's fault, what does it have to do with us! ”

The Confucian student analyzed it in a strange tone, and what he said was purely out of the criminal responsibility, and he could hear Zhang Hehu's back trembling when he heard it, if it weren't for the fact that this person's identity was really noble, I am afraid he would have been unable to suppress the anger in his heart.

Just when the two of them were in an embarrassment, a group of people retreated from the direction of Changshan County, only to see their banners all over the place, and the soldiers panicked, as if they had just suffered a big defeat.

This group of retreating military horses is headed by one person, only to see that although the person is wearing armor, but the rope tied to the body is broken and broken, and the armor is not broken and hung on his body, with the horses swaying up and down is very funny, and then look at its hat and helmet, the hat has long been unknown where it went, a huge helmet is crooked on the side of the head, I don't know if it is because of the hurry to hurry, there is no time to straighten, it is really ridiculous.

Zhang He saw that this group of people suddenly became nameless, although he didn't dare to lose his temper with the Confucian students in front of him, but the group of deserters who fled to his queue in front of him, he was powerless, and he couldn't bear it.

"Pei Guangji, the two armies are facing each other, you, as the commander of the first army, don't want to forge ahead, and actually bear the brunt of the desertion, you can be guilty!"

Zhang He rushed to the head of the deserter with an arrow, grabbed the reins of his horse with one hand, and roared angrily. The head is no one else, it is Pei Guangji, the county guard of Zhongshan County, who was once arranged by Yan Liang to be a general in charge of attacking the southern city of Changshan County, and now the southern city has been unable to attack for a long time, and has suffered a lot of defeats, in order to preserve his own strength, he does not want to become cannon fodder, so he resolutely chose to withdraw the army, but he did not expect to meet Zhang He and his group on the halfway, which was really embarrassing and thrown to grandma's house.

After all, Pei Guangji is the head of a county, and his position does not know how many streets he has thrown off Zhang He, but now his role is a deserter, and when he saw Zhang He who was full of righteous indignation, he was inevitably a little short of breath, and he was so frightened that his legs and feet were weak, and he fell off the horse carelessly, and his nose and eyes were swollen, so pitiful.

Zhang He didn't care about this, he was angry now, only to see him step forward and grab Pei Guangji, and reprimand him in person: "Pei Guangji, the state has national laws, the army has military regulations, you know that the end of deserters is only a dead end, if you don't want to become Zhang's guns with these subordinates of yours, you will immediately lead them to Changshan County to fight again, otherwise, don't blame a certain subordinate for being ruthless!" ”

"Let go of my lord!"

The entourage behind Pei Guangji saw that his lord was lifted up like a chicken, and a few bold people rushed forward to take Pei Guangji from Zhang He's hands.

At this time, Zhang He was worried that no one would come out, he saw Pei Guangji's subordinates rushing up to the two of them, shouting "good courage", and then the gun fell, and the head of the gun stabbed out quickly, pointing out two blood holes on the comer's body, and the two people didn't figure out what the situation was, so they covered their chests one after another, fell to the ground and groaned in pain.

Zhang He's one move made two of them, so that the subordinates who still wanted to give Pei Guangji a head in the back were immediately frightened, they had suffered a big loss in Nancheng, and their courage could be said to have been scared for a long time, and now seeing Zhang He fiercely blocking the middle of the road, where did he dare to take a step forward, one after another, together with the deserters who retreated later, were all blocked here, and nearly three thousand people were gathered in a moment's effort.

"You still have such troops, why do you choose to retreat!" Zhang He couldn't help but be even more angry when he saw these many deserters, looking at Pei Guangji in his hand, he felt even more that he had to kill this person.

Maybe he saw the murderous aura in Zhang He's eyes, Pei Guangji, who was already frightened, suddenly saw the Confucian student in the distance, and couldn't help but shout miserably as if he had received great help: "Mr. Ziyuan, Mr. Ziyuan is here, Mr. help!" ”
