286, the Han army crosses the river (1/2)

286

Zhang Liao and his entourage are on the way to Wuzhi, at this moment the starry night is on the way, at this moment it is less than a day away from the end, at this moment the starry night is on the way, planning to break the dawn the next day to recuperate, the next day at noon rescue is endless, the clothless archer is scattered out as a scout, to investigate the four fields, in case the enemy is ambushed.

However, at this moment, Cao Han suddenly led a person to come, and the black lion iron cavalry on the side immediately waved a torch to get closer, Zhang Liao's pupils shrank when he saw this, and he led a group of black lion iron cavalry out of the ranks, and the other troops continued to move forward.

"Pontus remembers you, Wang Ji, right? Aren't you in Yan Country as an internal response? How did it get here, what happened? Zhang Liao's face was solemn, and the sense of foreboding in his heart was even heavier.

"......" Wang Ji gasped, silent, for a long time, his knees were weak, kneeling on the muddy soil that had not yet dried, his face full of mud drew two tear stains, his eyes were red and said: "Yan Hou forced the life of his second brother, let me induce you to attack the Yan State camp tomorrow night, and, under my deliberate eavesdropping, they seem to plan to ambush the cavalry in front of Ping Xingze."

After Zhang Liao heard this, he was a little convinced that Mr. Zihu had more conspiracies and tricks, and in addition, Wang Ji's son Wang Bao was still in their hands, so this matter should be true, so he hurriedly asked: "How is Wuzhong County at the moment?"

"Wuzhong County was defeated, General Hao led his troops to retreat into the county government, and there were only a few hundred people in the remnants, but ......" Speaking of this, Wang Ji's face was embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Liao's eyes darkened, but he forced himself to ask.

"However, the mountains of corpses piled up outside Wuzhong County have induced the plague, the Yan army is in a hurry at the moment, they threaten me, if I don't comply, I will put the second brother into the isolation camp, the second brother Ren 500 years old has already noticed it, I'm afraid we will be exposed at the beginning, he said to me before he was captured, Bao'er can live without an uncle, but never without a father......

He must have known it a long time ago!! Definitely! The 500 Chiefs were mine at the beginning, and he must have been aware of them before asking for the 500 Chiefs position with me! I shouldn't have given it to him! ”

A man knelt in the mud and cried!

At the beginning, Wang Lu asked him for the position of five hundred chiefs, and he was still puzzled, and he didn't understand anything at the moment.

"The plague?" When Zhang Liao heard this, the whole person suddenly lost his mind, and he hurriedly asked Wang Ji: "How is the Han army?" How is Hao Weizheng? Do you have any news of them? Zhang Liao's whole heart was taken away by this news, and he could no longer tolerate anything else, and his guilty heart was like a vine lying in his entire heart.

Wang Ji raised his head when he heard this, his eyes inexplicably showed a look of determination, and immediately, his face was embarrassed: "Since the Han army retreated into the county government, it has been silent, presumably ...... Presumably...... You don't know, the plague is very violent, and the Yan Kingdom has also wasted a lot of effort to suppress it, and they are trapped in the county government, so the situation must not be good. ”

Zhang Liao's upper body was inadvertently tensed, and when he heard this, he immediately sat back, and the whole person was a little depressed, but fortunately, he was half a horse, and his heart was tenacious, and he sat up straight again in a short moment at this moment, he was the commander of the first army, the governor of the Han army, he couldn't fall!

In less than a quarter of an hour, after adjusting his mentality, he stopped the army and stationed it on the spot, and the Han soldiers and banner soldiers recuperated.

Zhang Liao hurriedly transferred the unclothed archers to Pingxingze, and after midnight, Cao Han returned and reported to Zhang Liaoyu: "The subordinates have not found any traces of cavalry in Pingxingze."

"Huh?" Zhang Liao was surprised, and muttered: "Could it be that Wang Ji heard it wrong? But the fox is really scheming, and he can't help but let go. He immediately raised his head and ordered Wang Ji to come.

Wang Ji's face changed as soon as he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "I did overhear their plan to attack the Han army in Pingxingze, how could there be no trace of cavalry? Could it be mistaken? General Cao, could it be that the sky is dark and you are on the wrong path? ”

When Cao Han heard this, his face was immediately full of displeasure and said, "How can you speak? What does it mean to be on the wrong track? Tell you, the master has long known that you will question, and check back and forth three times in Pingxingze! I think you're the problem! It can't be a mole, right? Deliberately procrastinating for time, right? Do you want me to go again? ”

As soon as Wang Ji heard this, he suddenly became angry.

"Alright, alright!" Zhang Liao had a headache, he had seen Cao Han's poisonous mouth, Wang Ji's son and father were in the Han camp, and there was no need for him to make a trap of nothingness, and Cao Han's ability was obvious to all.

"No matter what, Ping Xingze can't go this way, Mr. Purple Fox's conspiracies and tricks are endless, I have to guard against it, Cao Han, is there anything else on the road to Wuzhong County?" Zhang Liao asked.

Wang Ji breathed a sigh of relief, as if he saw that Zhang Liao did not suspect him.

Cao Han glanced at Wang Ji, thought for a while and said, "There is another way, but it seems that you have to cross the river, should it still be a trap?" Maybe they're going to attack us! ”

"Alas!" Zhang Liao also had a headache, and he was the enemy of a strategist, the taste was really the same as a rat crossing the street, panicked, although there was Chen Deng's resistance, but he was not around, and he couldn't see through it in time.

"No matter what, what Brother Wang heard is definitely not groundless, there must be a reason for him, Ping Xingze can't go, just cross the river! Crossing the river is nothing more than checking if anyone is damming upstream, which is simple. ”

So, Zhang Liao and his entourage changed their route.

On the banks of the Jishui River.

"Governor, I have investigated upstream, there is a dike, but it has been abandoned, and there are still abandoned acres, which should be used for irrigation by village." Su Hong came to report after the investigation.

Zhang Liao is observing the water level, it is hot summer at the moment, and with the upstream embankment, it is normal for the water level to be a little higher.

"It's better to be careful about the situation, you can send someone to investigate upstream, and you can't relax in the slightest." Zhang Liao was very cautious.

Wang Ji on the side said, "Governor, when will we cross the river?"

"Let's cross the river when we have found out the upper reaches!" Zhang Liao said.

"It's almost noon, don't hide it from the Duke, my stomach is already empty, and I have been here since last night,......" Wang Ji said very ashamedly.

"Haha, I see, I will order someone to bring dry food for you to cushion your stomach, after crossing the river, our army will take a short rest, didn't he let you induce me to attack the Yan camp at night? So the governor of Pontus sent him to the door, and saw if he could eat it. ”

"Thank you, Governor."

"This water is wide and the current is strong, so I will go down and give one or two orders, so as not to make a mistake." Zhang Liao patted him on the shoulder, said a word, and then turned to leave.

"No!"

After the unclothed archers of Su Hong's department explored the upstream, they found that there were indeed no embankments, and reported to Zhang Liao.

When Zhang Liao learned about it, he breathed a sigh of relief, and finally let go of the string hanging in his heart.

Cao Han said helplessly: "Anyway, are we too careful, it's only been a few days, and the other party has learned the news until now, and it will only take a few days, even if the dam can accumulate how much water? Unless the entire Gu River is emptied. ”

"Hehe, alright, let's cross the river! The low water level at the moment also has its benefits. Zhang Liao said that there are pros and cons to everything.
