Chapter 297: A Long Way Ahead
Dusk sparks flickered in the room, and Zhang Baiqi was brought in.
"Say, where did Zhang Yan go?" Yuan Xi sat across from him.
"I'm not going to betray my brother."
"Then I'll go to Guo Daxian, there are so many people in the Montenegrin Army, there will always be someone who is willing to follow me."
Zhang Baiqi was taken aback, Guo Daxian's person was indeed unreliable, and not only him, most of these reckless people were short-sighted, slightly tempted by interests, and would not be righteous at all.
"How? Come on, you're the best candidate. ”
"Why did you choose me?" Zhang Baiqi felt that this was a conspiracy.
Yuan Xi naturally wouldn't say that because of the optimism you have a higher value, but this favorability is really 60, and he can't tell why a passerby actually has such a high favorability towards him when he meets in Pingshui. The first time I met him, I was killing someone, and the second time I was robbing someone, so I couldn't see the possibility of the two becoming friends at all.
"As a representative of the Montenegrin Army, you have to think carefully. Zhang Yan is a person who wants to take refuge in Cao Cao, all based on his personal preferences, or what benefits Cao Cao promised him. Such a leader who cares about the lives of others and is bent on his own welfare is not suitable to be the leader of the Montenegrin army. Brother, I'm optimistic about you. ”
Zhang Baiqi said: "Even if you say so, I will not betray my brother." Although Zhang Dashuai has done something bad, he can't allow you to be an outsider to annex the Montenegrin Army. ”
Yuan Xi said: "Hehe, it's up to you, your people outside have been controlled by me." Your men are very righteous, and when they see you tied up, none of them escape. Now that the two of us are together, we can attack Guo Daxian, I heard that he and you have always been at odds. ”
Zhang Baiqi was taken aback, indeed, although the number of his group is small, they are all righteous brothers, he is now arrested, everyone does not dare to act rashly, they can only be held hostage by this guy in front of them. If it had been replaced by other rebels, it would have been scattered as birds and beasts a long time ago. It's ironic to be taken advantage of by this person for this reason.
"However, Guo Daxian is not something you can deal with, they are three times as many as mine. And with the terrain, you can't win even if you add me. Zhang Baiqi was very kind, and told the difficulties truthfully, hoping that Yuan Xi would think about it.
Yuan Xi said: "Don't worry. ”
Early the next morning, they were on the road, with the people's army in front and Zhang Bai's cavalry following closely behind. It didn't take long to arrive at the location of Guo Daxian's department.
These rebels each have their own territory, and they will not interfere with each other, which is equivalent to being their own soil emperor on their own territory, and they are very happy. They only get together when they are out plundering, or when they have important matters to discuss.
Therefore, this Guo Daxian didn't know what was going on outside, and when Yuan Xi and the others arrived, a group of bandits were doing nothing and were enjoying the shade under the tree.
"When, when, when......"
Outsiders will still find out when they come in, and then Guo Daxian quickly gathered people and killed them violently, but he happened to meet Zhang Baiqi.
"Hey, Zhang Baiqi, our well water doesn't interfere with river water, what are you doing with so many people coming to me today?"
The people on both sides each carried their own blades, as if they were ruffians who had come out to fight. Guo Daxian led people to stand uphill, looking at this group of outsiders with fierce eyes.
Zhang Baiqi was a little embarrassed, he was restrained by Yuan Xi, and he was followed by the nine-foot man Gao Shun, who couldn't move, what could he say?
Yuan Xi spoke at this time: "It turns out that Guo Shuai, you still don't know......"
Guo Daxian was stunned for a moment and said, "What? ”
Yuan Xi said: "Forget it, since you don't know, let's come in vain, brothers, go home......
When everyone heard this, they all prepared to turn around and leave.
Guo Daxian's eyes rolled, and he immediately shouted: "Hey, don't go yet, tell me something?" I'll remember it right away......"
Yuan Xi just turned half of his body, so he turned back and said, "I don't know when I think Guo Shuai, Zhang Yan and Zhang Dashuai are ready to surrender to Cao Cao......"
Guo Daxian said: "This matter, isn't everyone knowing?" There's something unusual. ”
Yuan Xi said: "Zhang Yan is ready to betray the interests of everyone, and one person will get the reward promised by the imperial court, we are all angry, Zhang Baiqi and Zhang Shuai are contacting various mountains, preparing to protest against Zhang Yan together." ”
When Guo Daxian heard this, his eyes widened, and he said, "Zhang Baiqi, aren't you with Zhang Yan?" How to ......"
Yuan Xi immediately interrupted him: "This is everyone's benefit, how can Zhang Yan be allowed to go alone?" Zhang Shuai was righteous, so he shouldered this heavy burden. ”
Guo Daxian said: ", Zhang Yan, a dog thief, actually betrayed his brother...... Wait, who are you? Why didn't Zhang Baiqi say a word, you didn't finish talking. ”
Yuan Xi said: "Me? I'm your dad! ”
Guo Daxian was suddenly stunned, but the people's army had already rushed up from both sides, and their group of thieves had a great ability to bully the poor, and they also ran fast against the official army, but in their own nest, where could they think of the other party's sudden arrival.
A moment later, Guo Daxian was tied into a zongzi, and scolded Zhang Baiqi loudly for not being kind, and teamed up with outsiders to bully him.
Yuan Xi said: "Guo Shuai, although we used a little trick, what we just said is still true. Now that Zhang Yan has taken the soldiers and horses out of the valley, when he takes the title of the imperial court, you people are outcasts. If you don't act, it's too late. ”
Guo Daxian said: "Okay, I'll follow you." ”
Zhang Yan was rushing back at this time. This trip he was very depressed. Originally, he went straight to Jinyang, and then went out of the mountain, but he happened to meet the official army, and the two sides fought, but the Montenegrin army did not take any advantage. In the past, it was common to see the officers and soldiers of the Montenegrin army who turned their heads and ran away, but this battle was fought very toughly. This made Zhang Yan, who was desperate for her life, unable to start.
After being entangled like this for several days, Zhang Yan still gave up, so he led his men back.
However, as soon as he reached the halfway point, he was suddenly surrounded by people. Guo Daxian, Zhang Leigong, Li Damu, these leaders who don't have a good relationship with him on weekdays have appeared, which made him scratch his head for a while. And Zhang Baiqi, who had the most iron relationship with him, was actually in the enemy formation, which made him even more alarmed.
Then they fought together.
The mountain road was already narrow, and his 3,000 men and horses could not be used at all, so the two sides fought for a day.
At night, Zhang Yan was a little bored. went out and was beaten by the officers and soldiers, and when he came back he was besieged by his brothers, and the morale of the troops also dropped to the bottom at this time. Now the situation of his lair is not clear, and the people sent out to ask for help have not replied so far. In the Montenegrin army, except for him, the other units are all showy, and their combat effectiveness is not the same. But in today's battle, I actually fell behind.
He was distraught when suddenly there was a commotion outside, and someone shouted: "Oh no, the enemy is coming......"
Zhang Yan panicked, and no longer had time to think about the reason, so he looked in one direction and rushed out with people. At this time, the first thing to save your life is, and the troops under your command will come to clean up later. In the past, he relied on his own fast running to get over several times in the past.
This time, however, he didn't wait for his chance. At dawn the next day, the soldiers of the People's Army found Zhang Yan in the pit dug yesterday, and they were embarrassed.
