The Han Dynasty was parallel to the county state, and Taishou was equivalent to Taishou. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There are five counties in the state, and the Shangdang county is the southernmost country in the state, bordering Sizhou in the north, Yizhou in the west, and the sea in the east, and the geographical location is quite important.

Although Zhang Yuan was called Shangdang Taishou, Huguan was under the control of the Zhengu rebels, who ostensibly regarded Zhang Yuan as the new master, but in fact they were in a semi-independent state.

Zhang Yuan wants to unify the party, how can the people easily hand over the territory, and they will definitely support the army to resist.

According to the information obtained by Zhang Yuan, there are at least 2,000 soldiers and horses in the Zhenggu group, and it is not easy to take the pot pass.

"Dingguo, it's time to regain Huguan, how is your recruit training?" Zhang Yuan brought everyone in.

Li Dingguo said: "Don't worry, the recruits are all willing to complete the training, which can be said to be the master's meritorious work." ”

"Then leave 1,000 people to defend the city, take 3,000 men and horses with me to Huguan, you and Pear Blossom will go with me on the expedition, and Zhao Pu will stay to defend the city"

"The Last Will Do Duty"

...

Under the pot pass, the Shangdang barracks, in the handsome tent, a topographic map of the Shangdang is spread on the table and chairs, one person in the middle, the year of the weak crown, there are two handsome and majestic young people standing on both sides, the middle person points to the map, sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right and the two of them have a heated discussion.

These three people, Zhang Yuan in the middle, Fan Lihua and Li Dingguo on the left and right.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Yuan led 3,000 Zhang's army to the south of Huguan and camped five miles away from the city.

The camp was settled, and it was already dusk, so Zhang Yuan raised 3,000 soldiers and horses and arrived at the front line of the south gate of Huguan.

At this moment, the first line of the south gate of Huguan City is already a flag flying, swords and guns are standing in a forest, more than a thousand rebels are waiting for the battle, and a big banner with the word "眭" is flying at the head of the city.

"Lord, looking at this formation, this stubborn obviously doesn't intend to let us into the city." Li Dingguo, who was beside him, frowned.

"Salute before you soldiers." Zhang Yuan sighed lightly, raised his whip and ordered a messenger, took the order of Taishou, and went straight to Huguan City.

After all, Zhang Yuannai was ordered by Taishou to come to Lang Xie to take up his post, nominally speaking, whether it is Zhenggu, it should be regarded as his deployment, no matter what, he still has to try it first, whether Taishou's order works, it is naturally best to be able to absorb Zhenggu without force.

Although Zhang Yuan was prepared in his heart, this hope was almost zero.

A messenger rode his horse and galloped until he reached the city gate, holding the Taishou document in his hand, and explained his intention.

A moment later, the gates opened, and the messenger entered.

Above the head of the city, a hideous-looking man was sitting cross-legged in front of the desk, drinking wine in a big bowl and eating meat.

The soldiers who were waiting on the left and right were all trembling, and from time to time they would bring the boiled meat balls to the shore with trembling ends.

In the cauldron next to it, several of the same meat balls were still cooking, dripping with blood.

Those balls of flesh turned out to be human hearts.

"Delicious, delicious, what in the world could be more delicious than this man's heart, haha-" He chewed wildly, drank a bowl of spirits, and laughed like a beast.

When he was eating deliciously, Zhang Yuan's messenger came to the city, lit up the Taishou paperwork, and said: "I advocate Yuan, to enter the Huguan to transport materials, the state pastoral order is here, please take a look at it, if the inspection is correct, please ask the general to go out of the city to meet the new Taishou." ”

The rebels on the left and right took over the order and served it to Zhenggu.

He didn't look at it, grabbed it and threw it directly into the stove, and scolded disdainfully: "What bullshit Wenling, Huguan is my territory, when will it be Zhang Yuan's turn to be a waste gentleman, go back and tell your master, hurry up and cover Lao Tzu and get out, otherwise you will annoy Lao Tzu and tear out his heart and cook it." ”

The messenger's face changed, and he didn't expect the other party to be so rude, so he had to brace his courage and said: "General Chang, this is Liu Zhoumu's order, how dare you disobey?" ”

"Hahaha-" Zheng Gu laughed wildly and said disdainfully: "My army only listens to me, even if it is the will of Emperor Lao Tzu, we will use it as a butt wiping paper." ”

"You...... You ......" the messenger was frightened and frightened, and did not know what to do for a moment.

But he was annoyed, jumped up from the ground, and scolded angrily: "Ignorant dog thing, chirp crookedly and annoy Lao Tzu, you are looking for death!" ”

Before the words fell, he had already drawn his sword from its sheath, and before the messenger could react, his hand raised his sword, and a human head had already rolled to the ground.

The headless body of the messenger, blood gushing from its neck, fell to the ground with a thud.

He stepped forward, the blade slashed several times between the corpse's chest, cutting a hole, and he rolled up his sleeves, put his hand into the corpse's chest, and pulled out the bloody heart with his bare hands.

He licked the corners of his mouth, threw the heart into the boiling pot with his hand, wiped the blade on the corpse's body, and shouted: "Hang the corpse for Lao Tzu, I want to give Zhang Yuan a dismount." ”

The frightened rebels were only then awakened, and hurriedly dragged up the headless corpse of the messenger and hung it high on the tower of the south gate of Huguan.

Outside the city, Zhang Yuan was waiting quietly, he was ready to defy Taishou's edict and drive his messenger out, and then he could salute first and then soldier, and find a way to take Huguan by force.

"Look, my lord, there's movement on the city tower." Hua Lihua's eyes were sharp, and she suddenly pointed at the enemy city and shouted.

Zhang Yuan and Fan Lihua all stared in the direction of the city tower, and sure enough, they saw a bloody corpse, like a flag, being hung high.

"It's the Messenger, it's our Messenger!" Li Dingguo recognized the corpse's clothes and shouted angrily.

Zhang Yuan's body shook slightly, and his face, which had a calm expression, suddenly became gloomy, the horsewhip was clenched, the bone joints gurgled, and the anger in the eagle's eyes burned.

He expected his stubborn disobedience, but what he didn't expect was that this rebel would despise him so much that he would dare to openly kill his messenger, behead him, and dig out his heart.

Zhang Yuan's anger is out!

At the head of the city, the flesh at the corners of his mouth had been wiped clean, and the big knife in his hand was condescending, pointing at Zhang Yuan who was a hundred steps away, and said arrogantly: "Zhang Yuan, when your dead ghost father was alive, he didn't dare to touch my territory. If you are interested, get out of Lao Tzu quickly, otherwise Lao Tzu's army will go out of the city, and you will definitely dig out your kid's heart and give Lao Tzu wine and food. ”

When he was talking wildly, he grabbed a boiled heart in front of thousands of soldiers of the two armies, and gnawed it wildly, and his momentum was simply rampant.

"It is rumored that he likes to eat people's hearts, I used to think it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true, this guy really eats people's hearts!" Li Dingguo was angry, looking at the rampant enemy who was gnawing his heart, and he had a faint creepy feeling.

Fan Lihua also drew her sword in her hand, and said angrily: "Lord, that dog thief dares to insult you like this, Lihua will kill him with her own hands." ”

The generals were indignant and unstoppable, and they all generously asked for battle, and the three thousand soldiers of the Zhang family army were also angry, their blood was boiling, and their fighting spirit exploded.

Looking at the rampant stubbornness at the head of the city, Zhang Yuan's heart was also furious, this guy openly killed his messenger, and was so humiliated in front of the two armies, how could he swallow this breath.

His fists were clenched for a long time, but Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, waved his hand and shouted: "Pass the order, the whole army will withdraw and return to the camp." ”

As soon as the order came out, all the generals changed color and looked at Zhang Yuan in surprise.

Zhang Yuan did not wait for their persuasion, he had already set his horse to go first, and the generals had no choice but to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses, and unwillingly withdrew to the south camp.

The stubborn man on the head of the city, seeing Zhang Yuan withdraw his troops and leave, laughed even more fiercely and sarcastically, and said with disdain in his mouth: "Zhang Yuan'er, Lao Tzu knows that you don't have the guts, Lao Tzu and I have two thousand soldiers and horses, and you just want to break my pot pass with three thousand rabble, it's just a pipe dream, go home and eat milk, hahaha——"

"Haha-"

"Haha-"

The rebels along the front line of the city also followed their main general, laughing wildly, wantonly mocking the retreating Zhang Jiajun.

The three thousand soldiers listened to the taunts of the enemy behind them, and their faces were so red with hatred that they gritted their teeth one by one, but they could only hold back with hatred.

Zhang Yuan's heart was also furious, his fists clenched tightly, but he forcibly suppressed his anger and retreated calmly.

At nightfall, the army returned to camp.

"Lord, the dog thief humiliates us like that, how can you swallow this breath, I'm going to be angry." As soon as Fan Lihua entered the big tent, she grinned.

Zhang Yuan sat down calmly and said with a smile: "I said Pear Blossom, don't worry." ”

Fan Lihua was stunned for a moment, and said with a flat mouth: "It was before, and now it is now, that dog mongrel gas has made me angry, so I can't even eat meat, of course I have to chop him." ”

Li Dingguo and Hua Lihua, who followed closely, also had indignant faces, and their expressions were clearly not understanding Zhang Yuan's approach.

Zhang Yuanyi waved his hand and motioned for them to sit down first, and when their emotions calmed down a little, Fang sighed lightly and said: "Do you think I don't want to slaughter that guy, but don't forget, we only have 3,000 soldiers and horses in our hands, but there are 1,000 rebels defending the city, even if our army is more elite and can forcibly break the city, it will definitely suffer heavy losses in the end, and then what will we do to deal with the main force of Zang Ba's Taishan army?" ”

Zhang Yuan's words silenced Li Dingguo and the others.

They knew that the weakness of Zhang's army was that it had few soldiers and could not withstand attrition, and it was indeed not a wise move to waste precious troops on such a strategy as attacking the city in a fit of anger.

"It's still the lord who is calm, it's me who is impulsive." Li Dingguo apologized and marveled at Zhang Yuan's calmness.

Zhang Yuan nodded slightly, and said: "So, we must think of a foolproof strategy that does not lose troops, but also captures the immediate army." ”

In the big tent, there was silence again.

Although Fan Lihua and Hua Lihua are not weak in force, their resourcefulness is limited, and they can think of a foolproof strategy.

In this big tent, the only ones who can be called resourceful are Zhang Yuan and Li Dingguo.

Zhang Yuan's thoughts were racing, racking his brains, but he was at a loss for a while.

Li Dingguo, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly his eyes lit up, jumped up, and said excitedly: "Lord, the last general has a plan, maybe he can capture Huguan City without wasting his efforts." ”
