The two walked out of the town and came to the barracks outside the city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Let's go, go see the captives." Zhang Min took Chen to the prisoner camp.

"Lord, why are you here?" Xu Huang is having a headache, he only has 10,000 people under him, but he manages 30,000 Yuan Jun, for fear that one will accidentally make a good mistake, seeing Zhang Min coming, he hurriedly greeted him, "Lord, there are too many people, I'm afraid there will be a change, do you think you will manage them separately?" ”

"It's okay, you go and talk to General Lu and ask her to bring all the money and food collected along the road."

"Whoa!" Xu Huang agreed and left, if someone else went, I was afraid that the aunt would not believe it. The whole small rich slave guards the long line of grain carts every day, and does not let anyone approach.

Zhang Min only took Chen to one person and walked in, not that he was bold, but that the morale of the Yuan army inside was lost, and there were no weapons in his hands, and the guards around him were all his own people.

Hearing the movement, tens of thousands of people squatting together looked up together, and saw a person in an ordinary silk robe walking in, thinking it was a figure like a curtain secretary, and they all lowered their heads and pretended not to see it.

It didn't seem to be very popular, Zhang Min took two steps forward and stopped, in case he couldn't escape when he went too deep and wanted to escape, "The big guys have come here, I have something to say." ”

The reaction was not great, most people ignored it as if they hadn't heard, and a small number of people looked up.

"There are too many of you to fit here." Before Zhang Min finished speaking, there was a commotion in front of him, and he hurriedly shouted: "Listen to me!" ”

Everyone barely quieted down, all of them looked uneasy, and some even fell to the ground in fright, sobbing incessantly.

Zhang Min didn't dare to be verbose, and shouted directly: "I'll let you go home later, twenty yuan per person and some dry food, don't have this dead father's expression!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the scene suddenly became eerily quiet.

"Are you serious?" One person stood up boldly, looked at Zhang Min twice, very suspicious, and pointed with his hand, "Where are you from?" It seems that he is just a person who has been engaged in a long history, so how can he be the master? ”

"I repeat, this is what the champion Hou means, twenty yuan and three catties of dry food per person later, where will you go after receiving it!" Zhang Min was helpless, seeing that everyone didn't believe it very much, he simply did things in his own name, and in order to let these people hear, he used the biggest voice, and felt that his throat was torn, if only there was a megaphone, he thought about something else, but his mouth was not idle: "But you have to remember, don't go against me in Xuzhou again, otherwise you will be caught next time, and there will be no mercy!" ”

"With such a big tone, you still think you are a champion!" Another person was not convinced, and bravely stood up, "Don't you deceive me and wait, wait for us to separate, and then kill separately!" ”

As soon as he heard this, there was a great commotion in the field, and it was about to form a riot, Zhang Min saw that it was wrong, and hurriedly signaled Chen Dao, ready to flee for his life at any time.

"Listen to me, everybody!" The first person to stand up waved his hand again and again, signaling everyone to be quiet, "Champion Hou is a benevolent and righteous person, since he entered Xuzhou, he has never killed a person, and he will not do such a thing." ”

Hearing this, the scene fell silent again, but most people still had a suspicious attitude.

In fact, we still have a reputation! Seeing this meeting, Zhang Min was a little lucky, and his reputation was really a good thing. After a stalemate for a while, Lu Lingqi finally escorted the money and grain over.

"Line up one by one, divide the money and food, and get out early!" Zhang Min shouted loudly to a large group of prisoners, hurry up and evacuate people, it is too dangerous here, "Gongming, you are responsible for maintaining order." ”

When he turned around, he saw Lu Lingqi looking at him angrily.

"I'm going to chase Yuan Highway, with tens of thousands of captives and so much money and food, I can't go fast, you go and pack up your people and get ready to go." Zhang Min said casually. …,

"Really? That's great! Lu Lingqi turned her anger into joy and went happily.

"Women are so easy to deceive." Chen Zhi suddenly interjected in a low voice behind him.

Zhang Min looked back at him, laughed dryly, and threatened: "Leave you!" Don't let it slip, otherwise I'll deduct your wages and only give you fifty yuan a month, and I won't cover food and lodging. ”

dismissed the prisoners, the army set off lightly again, Zhang Min felt that he had gone through a reincarnation, if only he had rushed straight to Shouchun at the beginning, why bother tossing back and forth like this, he worked hard to capture the prisoners, robbed the grain, and let them go.

"Lord, let's stop and gather the rout, Yuan Shu in front sees that we have no intention of chasing, and will definitely follow suit." Jia Xu seemed to see what Zhang Min was thinking, "Otherwise, he will return to Shouchun first on a light horse, and he will be able to arrive in three or five days, and by the time we arrive, the situation has stabilized, and it is not easy to take it." Now Yuan Shu has foot soldiers by his side, he doesn't have the courage of the lord, and he is willing to throw these foot soldiers on the side of the road, so that we will go to Shouchun City before him, and when the time comes, he will join forces with Mi Taishou inside and outside, and take it in one fell swoop, and when he arrives, he can only look at the city and sigh. ”

That's what happened. Zhang Min touched his head, there are too many ways in it, and people are confused. However, one thing I understand is that at the beginning, I was separated from Yuan Shu by two days, and now it is less than a day, and now I am driving lightly, but he is dragging his family with him, and it seems that he can surpass him in a day or two, so he should rush to Shouchun first.

But it was said that Yuan Shu was constantly gathering the rout in front, and the speed naturally slowed down, and when he heard that the Xuzhou army was still chasing after him, he was a little stunned, and suddenly shouted loudly: "What does he Zhang Mengxuan want to do?" Do you still want to swallow my Yangzhou land! ”

A group of Yuan generals around him bowed their heads and remained silent, quiet for a while, and finally had an opening, "Two consecutive battles, there must be many wounded soldiers under Zhang Thief, he was originally only about 50,000 people, so now I am afraid that there are less than 30,000 people who can fight, and it is impossible to occupy our Yangzhou land, in my opinion, he just wants to collect our soldiers along the road, and then return to Xuzhou." ”

"My lord, what General Chen said is extremely true!" Another person stood up, "Look at that thief collecting our army's food, grass and soldiers along the road, I'm afraid that's how he planned it." Why don't we kill him, we will definitely be able to turn the tide and win a big victory! ”

"The last general thinks that it is impossible, and now the thief is in full swing, and our army is newly defeated, and the morale is completely lost, how can we win? In my opinion, we should go back to Shouchun at full speed and defend the city. Zhang thief came from afar, food and grass is insufficient, naturally to retreat, when the time comes, we secretly order the soldiers of all cities to surround on all sides, Zhang thief died without a place to be buried! ”

"Get out of here!" Yuan Shu roared, and a 'defending the city' made him feel so harsh.

The generals knew that they had committed a taboo, but no one dared to move, they stood honestly in place with their heads on their heads, and after a while, they saw that Yuan Shu's anger had disappeared a little, and there was a person who felt that he had figured out his thoughts, and stood up and said: "Lord, it's better to set up camp here!" We have now gathered 40,000 soldiers, no less than the Zhang thief, the first two battles, Zhang thief cunning, the next sneak attack, the soldiers were caught off guard, only to cause the defeat, so now we are careful to guard, he will definitely not get the benefit, so he can only return to Xuzhou. ”

Seeing that Yuan Shu's face looked good, one person hurriedly picked up the conversation, "This time I retreated Zhang Thief, and when I reunite the army in the coming year, I will level Xuzhou in one go, and he Zhang Thief is not ready to be caught!" ”

"Pass the order down and set up camp!" Yuan Shu stood up suddenly, "I want to see with my own eyes what that thief looks like, and in the coming day, I will divide his five horses and wipe out the three clans!" ”

"The lord is wise!" Suddenly, the sycophants flew together.

The fact that Yuan Jun set up camp on the avenue made Zhang Min's eyes widen when he followed him, "Chief, you're not mistaken, right?" Do they have the audacity to stop and wait for me? ”…,

Guan Hai smiled awkwardly, "Lord, it's absolutely right!" I looked at it several times, and I also arrested a sergeant and asked, most of the Yuan army, including Yuan Shu, was in the camp ahead. ”

Ya, there are really people who are not afraid of death! Zhang Min touched his head, how is this thing good? It is not possible to kill the past directly, although the morale of the Yuan army is insufficient, but as long as Yuan Shu does not take the lead in escaping, the difference in the number of the two armies is not big, and it is not necessarily who suffers in the fight.

"You order, I'll take someone to kill it directly!" Lu Lingqi's eyes widened, but there was a murderous aura, "I promise to catch that Yuan Highway for you." ”

"Lord, I'll go!" Not to be outdone, Guan Hai shouted on the spot.

"Don't argue yet, let's see what the military advisor says?" Zhang Min stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and looked at Jia Xu together.

Jia Xu stood up unhurriedly, walked up to Zhang Min, whispered a few words, and after hearing the people nodding again and again, he took a step back, touched his beard and said, "The lord should go and see it himself." ”

Zhang Min said that he understood, and waved his hand, "Straighten out the soldiers and horses, and go with me to meet the Yuan Highway." ”

"Whoa!"

Yuan Jun also heard the news of the arrival of the Xuzhou army, and they all watched in the camp.

Zhang Min led everyone to stop not far from Yuan Ying, and the single person stepped forward and shouted: "Mrs. Yuan!" Zhang Min is here, dare to come out and see it! ”

Interestingly, the two armies fought twice, but the commander never met.

Yuan Shu looked carefully in the camp, regardless of everyone's obstruction, he also rode out alone, the two were far away, Yuan Shu spoke first: "Zhang Mengxuan, you invaded my Yangzhou territory, why don't you quit quickly!" ”

Zhang Min glanced at Yuan Shu twice, but he couldn't see the reason, and when he heard him say this, he felt very funny, and replied casually: "But your Yuan Taifu invaded my Xuzhou territory first, and I just had to do it." ”

"Ridiculous!" Yuan Shu lifted his spirits and said angrily: "How can my soldiers and generals ever invade your Xuzhou? It's just stationed at the border of our Yangzhou, but you attacked and plotted, and now you have killed us in the hinterland of Yangzhou, what do you want! ”

And this kind of statement? Zhang Min felt that he had seen what it meant to reverse black and white.

"No matter who is right or wrong, since it has reached such a point, it should be a battle of life and death!" Zhang Min laughed and said: "Taifu Yuan, if you have the courage, three days later, right here, the two armies will set up a position and fight it out!" ”

"Why don't you dare!" Yuan Shu didn't think about it, and promised to come down, after three days, he would gather more sergeants here, and his morale would recover, and he was afraid that no one would succeed!
