Tianshui. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After nearly a year of campaigning, in the eighth year of the first peace of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, the battle for Hebei between Zhang Bao and Yuan Shao finally ended with a complete victory for Zhang Bao's side, Yuan Shao's 100,000 army collapsed, the military advisor Tian Feng was beheaded in prison, the general Lu Yi and the strategist were killed in battle, the famous general Gao Ran and the strategists Xun Chen and Xu Yu defected to Zhang Bao, and finally Yuan Shao only led hundreds of light horsemen to flee to Qingzhou.
suffered this fiasco, Yuan Shao was full of grief and anger, and he couldn't afford to get sick.
What is even more gratifying to Zhang Bao is that Zhao Yun has also grown from an ignorant teenager to an excellent commander. From time to time, Han Fu's old generals Zhang Jaw, Han Meng, and Jiang Qi led 30,000 cavalry to vote, and Zhang Bao was very happy, and they were all treated as generals.
Since then, the lands of Bingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, and Hebei have all been collected into Zhang's bag.
On the other hand, Guo Tu's attack on Xiliang was repeatedly frustrated, if it weren't for Xu Chu and Dian Wei's two generals fighting each other, Guo Tu and Li Ru almost killed Ma Teng's hands, Zhang Bao was furious, leaving the military advisor Xi Zhicai to sit in Hebei, and the generals Guo Da, Bocai, Cheng Yuanzhi and Bu Ji respectively defended Guandu, Qinghe, Gaotang, and Leling County to prevent Cao Cao's sneak attack.
Later, he personally led the army to aid Chang'an in the starry night, and when he arrived, he knew that Guo Tu had occupied Tianshui, so he rushed to Tianshui non-stop~
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
Zhang Bao entered Tianshui City surrounded by Jia Xu, He Man, Zhao Yun, Yu Shi and others, and before he arrived at Guo Tu's official residence, there were guards who stayed in Chang'an to greet him.
"What about the rules?"
"Back to the lord, Mr. Gongze has already led a large army to attack Jincheng County."
"Well, attacking Jincheng County?" Jia Xu's face changed, and he said hurriedly, "The lord is not good, and the lord is afraid that he is in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, and wants to take advantage of the chaos in Xiliang to capture Ma Teng." ”
"Attack Jincheng County and take Ma Teng?" Zhang Bao frowned and said in a deep voice, "Although Ma Teng has recently risen and his foundation is not stable, Ma Teng has a prestige and height among the Qiang people, if Ma Teng waves his arms and uses the Qiang people as reinforcements, I am afraid that the public will not be able to bargain~"
Jia Xu asked the adjutant general urgently: "How many days has the army been on the march?" ”
"It's been three days."
"There's news coming back."
"No news yet."
"Report ......"
The guard's voice fell, and there was a terrible long howl in the direction of the city gate, and then there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves that shattered the silent long street, Zhang Bao and others looked back, only to see a fast horse galloping, and the knight planted a pennant diagonally behind his shoulder, and was hunting in the wind.
"Report~~Jincheng County Emergency~~"
Zhang Bao's heart sank when he saw the messenger's expression, and he stopped the horse and shouted: "Speak!" ”
The messenger instinctively reined in the reins of his horse, and when he saw that the person blocking the road was Zhang Bao, he rolled the saddle and dismounted in a panic, and said sadly: "Lord, it's not good, something is wrong." ”
Zhang Bao's eyes were like torches, staring straight at the messenger, and said in a deep voice: "As long as General Ben is here, it won't fall this day, talk slowly, what's wrong?" ”
The messenger said sadly: "Mr. Gong Ze is seriously injured and is still unconscious. Is.. ”
"!" Zhang Bao was furious, picked up the messenger's chest, and shouted, "Guo Tu is a scribe, how can he get on the battlefield?" How could he die in battle? It's nonsense! ”
"The lord" messenger said urgently, "Mr. Gongze was not worried that the two generals Dian Wei and Xu Chu would lead the troops alone, so he wore iron armor and went out with the army. But he never thought that Pang De in the enemy army was a master of archery, and he wanted to shoot Mr. Gong Ze with poisoned arrows. ”
"Pound~"
Zhang Baogang's teeth were clenched, his fists were clenched, Zhang Bao's crossing was less than half a year, Ma Teng was just a small Xiliang captain, serving under the Xiliang Thorn History, and was ordered to lead the army to conquer Zhang Bao and fight in Yecheng. Under the insistence of Yu Shi and others, Ma Teng was defeated and fled, and Pang De became a prisoner.
At that time, Zhang Baoshang with modern thinking, with the worship of famous generals, insisted on recruiting Pang De, who would have thought that before he could surrender, he was robbed by Ma Teng and others, if it was not mentioned by the messenger, Zhang Bao had almost forgotten about it~
"Whew."
Zhang Bao let out a long sigh of relief, Huo Ran relaxed his fists, his expression also regained his calmness, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the public rule now?" ”
The messenger said: "I have arrived at the Thirty Mile Pavilion in the east of the city." ”
Zhang Bao waved his hand and said to He Man: "Where is He Man?" ”
He Man took a step forward and said quickly, "What does the lord command?" ”
A trace of sorrow flashed leisurely in Zhang Bao's eyes, and he said gloomily: "Pass the order, the army will go out of the city for twenty miles, and line up to welcome the return of the prince~"
"The last general commands."
Dian Wei suddenly agreed and took the order to leave.
。。。。。。
Twenty miles east of Tianshui City.
Dian Wei, who was like a ghost, and Xu Chu, a bearded man, both knelt on the cold ground, and Zhang Bao, who was standing in front of the soft couch at this time, had a pale face and deep eyes, and there was undisguised gnashing hatred between his eyebrows, as well as a little faint sadness. This hatred is naturally hatred of Ma Teng, hatred of Pound, and this mourning, but it is the mourning of the unconscious Guo Tu.
Guo Tu's face was yellow, his eyes were closed, he was still unconscious, and a wolf tooth arrow was pierced directly into Guo Tu's left chest, it seemed that it had been a while, and the black blood around him had coagulated~ Zhang Bao reached out and touched Guo Tu's forehead, which was terrifyingly hot.
"Public rule? Rules? ”
Zhang Bao snorted lightly twice, but he never saw Guo Tu's reflection, and the look on his face couldn't help but dim, for the medical skills of this era, it is still only in the era of acupuncture and moxibustion medicine, and the poisoned arrow is equivalent to announcing the end of death, although there is a record of Hua Tuo scraping bones to cure poison in history, but Zhang Bao is skeptical.
Zhang Bao believes that Zhang Ning's medical skills are definitely not under Hua Tuo, but now the medical officer of the army does not even dare to take down the arrow, which shows that Guo Tu's injury is critical~
Li Ru, who was dressed in black, was full of pain, he and Jia Xu were the same kind of people, but Dong Zhuo was an official at the beginning, and many constraints made Li Ru unable to fully display his talents, and now Dong Zhuo was defeated and defected to Zhang Bao under Guo Tu's persuasion, thinking that he could display his talents to the fullest, but he didn't want to make Guo Tu's life and death unknown because of his meritorious service~
"Lord~"
Li Ru knelt on the ground with a painful face, and said sadly, "This is all Confucianism's fault." If it weren't for Confucianism's meritorious service, he strongly advised the public to send troops to attack Liangzhou, and the public would never have suffered this calamity. ”
"Lord, it's definitely not the fault of Wen Xiansheng~" Dian Wei said urgently, "The lord ordered the old man to personally protect Mr. Gongze, my old man is not doing well, please punish the lord, this matter has nothing to do with Wen Xiansheng." ”
Xu Chu also shouted: "Yes, my lord, this matter has nothing to do with Wen Xiansheng, please make the Lord public!" ”
Li Ru looked at Xu Chu and Dian Wei, the two generals who were rushing to take responsibility with each other, and they had always only revealed cold and cunning eyes, but at this time they were moved, after all, he was newly defected, if this was under Dong Zhuo, I am afraid that everyone was evading responsibility, and under Zhang Bao's command, he actually did the opposite.
