Chapter 205: The Battle of Inducements
When Zhang Xiang saw Zhang Fei, he knew that the news had been revealed, otherwise Zhang Fei would not have been waiting at the door so late, "Big brother, it seems that you know, do you like that Ning'er?" ”
Zhang Fei was obviously very anxious, this kind of emotion was also the first time Zhang Xiang saw it on Zhang Fei's face, Zhang Fei needless to say that Zhang Xiang had already guessed the answer, "Third brother, can you let her go?" ”
Zhang Xiang: "Big brother, the Ning Er you like is Zhang Jiao's daughter, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang's death has something to do with you and me, not to mention that he assassinated me today, do you know that you still want me to let her go?" ”
Zhang Fei hesitated for a long time, Zhang Xiang saw Zhang Fei like this, so he made a decision for him to walk past Zhang Fei's side, "Big brother, don't worry, I will release her tomorrow, but this is my last chance to give her her life." ”
Zhang Fei seemed to be in a very bad mood when he left, it was completely different from the previous Zhang Fei, Zhang Xiang didn't know how to comfort him, the matter would not be known until tomorrow, Zhang Ning should have thought about it all night.
The tired face will not be faked, and the first thing Zhang Ning said when he saw Zhang Xiang was, "I promise you, as long as you release the slaves." The tone was resolute without a hint of hesitation, and it was clearly well thought out.
Zhang Xiang: "Your answer makes me very satisfied, our Zhang brothers will not force women, you can take the slave away after you pass the customs, if you want to pursue other things, I am always welcome." ”
Zhang Xiang ordered Zhang Ning to be released with the slaves, both of whom were injured, especially the slaves who were severely tortured, so Zhang Ning decided to stay in Bingzhou temporarily.
Every move of the two was under Zhang Xiang's surveillance, Zhang Xiang told Zhang Fei the addresses of the two, and the rest could only rely on himself, Zhang Xiang, as a younger brother, could not help him.
Zhang Fei's face is dark enough, no matter how much Zhang Ning dares him, Zhang Fei just doesn't leave and keeps helping, although sometimes he will help a little, but Zhang Fei does show his posture.
The slave's injury is also getting better day by day, after all, people who learn martial arts are a little faster than ordinary people, Zhang Xiang also put Zhang Fei's big vacation for this reason, it is better to block it than to sparse Since Zhang Fei likes it, then let him be.
No matter whether the result is good or bad, Zhang Fei will at least give up, Zhang Fei went to find Zhang Ning as usual, but Zhang Fei found an abnormality, he found that the door outside Zhang Ning was open.
The place where Zhang Ning lives is a small courtyard, maybe it is the reason for avoiding all the year round, Zhang Ning has a habit that the door is always closed, Zhang Fei has been here many times, so he knows this very well.
Zhang Fei immediately entered the small courtyard, and found that it was very messy, there were obvious traces of fighting, and there were some blood stains, Zhang Ning and the slave were also missing, and they knew that something was wrong at a glance.
Zhang Fei immediately went to find Zhang Xiang, Zhang Fei was not suspicious of Zhang Xiang, Zhang Fei knew very well that with Zhang Xiang's character, if he wanted to move Zhang Ning, he would have had an accident a long time ago, and he would not wait until now, so Zhang Fei wanted to ask Zhang Xiang for help.
Zhang Xiang was not surprised by Zhang Fei's arrival, Zhang Ning Zhang Xiang had been sending people to monitor, and the people he sent to monitor were also dead, and Zhang Xiang naturally knew what was going on.
But Zhang Xiang didn't plan to care, Zhang Ning had nothing to do with him, many people would die every day in this era, and there was no shortage of Zhang Ning, "Big brother, Zhang Ning was kidnapped, this has nothing to do with me?" ”
For Zhang Fei Zhang Xiang still has to explain, Zhang Xiang doesn't want Zhang Fei to misunderstand anything, Zhang Xiang's worries are superfluous, Zhang Fei didn't doubt him at all, after all, he is a brother.
Zhang Fei believed in Zhang Xiang very much, "Of course I know this third brother, I want you to help me rescue Zhang Ning." Zhang Ning is a dispensable trouble in Zhang Xiang's eyes.
Now being kidnapped means that someone has solved the trouble for him, and it is too late for Zhang Xiang to thank him? How could you go to investigate, "Big brother, do you know what you're talking about, Zhang Ning's identity is not simple, the body of the slave has almost recovered, and the courage of the slave can't protect Zhang Ning, which means that the person who captured them is not simple, I can't help but get a new opponent for a Zhang Ning." ”
Zhang Fei knew that Zhang Xiang would not tell lies in this kind of matter, "Third brother, I understand, I ask you to help me find Zhang Ning, and I will save it myself." Zhang Xiang also saw that Zhang Fei was determined to save Zhang Ning.
Zhang Xiang: "Big brother, are you forcing me?" You should know that I won't let you take risks, is Zhang Ning really that important? You have lost your sense of proportion, you have disappointed me too much, I will go and save Zhang Ning, you give me two days and I will send someone to investigate. “
Gentle Township Hero Mound, Zhang Fei still failed to pass the beauty pass, Zhang Fei was not in the mood to return to the camp, so he simply stayed by Zhang Xiang's side, Zhang Xiang felt that it was okay, at least Zhang Fei would not cause trouble under his nose.
Zhang Xiang immediately went to find Yang Xu to see how he investigated? After all, there are still a few spies who have died, "The lord and this group have left Jinyang, and they should also be veterans, and the direction of departure should not be from Jizhou." “
Zhang Xiang immediately thought of Zhang Yan, Yuan Shao would not bother because of a daughter of Zhang Jiao, and only Zhang Yan would have such thoughts, "You mean Zhang Yan, how sure are you?" “
Yang Xu: "Bacheng, our spies in Jizhou reported that a strange thing happened some time ago, Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army seemed to be chasing someone, but then let people run away, this person should be Zhang Ning, the lord should have told me Zhang Ning's identity earlier, otherwise we would not have been caught off guard." “
Zhang Xiang glanced at Zhang Fei next to him, "Wenpin, I know what you're thinking, if it weren't for my eldest brother, do you think I would let go of such a good chess piece as Zhang Ning?" ”
Yang Xu nodded, "My subordinates understand, I will send someone to keep an eye on Zhang Yan's situation in Jizhou, if it is determined that Zhang Ning is there with Zhang Yan, we don't need to rescue." ”
At this time, Zhang Fei's eyes lit up, Zhang Xiang didn't look back, he felt that Zhang Fei's pair of leopard eyes were staring at him, "It's not as easy to save Zhang Ning as he said, Zhang Ning's identity is too special, if I were Zhang Yan, I would definitely use Zhang Ning's identity to collect the remnants of the Yellow Turban, such a living treasure He will definitely guard it closely, the Black Mountain Army is known as having an army of 100,000, let's stare at it first, let's talk about it later." ”
Zhang Xiang can only do this step, Jizhou is not a state, no matter how capable Zhang Xiang is, he is beyond the reach of the whip, not to mention that there is a Yuan Shao next to him, and Zhang Xiang only got the exact news five days later Zhang Ning appeared in the boundary of Jizhou.
Zhang Xiang was very curious about how Zhang Yan got Zhang Ning from Bingzhou to Jizhou silently, Zhang Xiang didn't receive any news, and sure enough, there was no fuel-efficient lamp that could leave a name in history.
What's more, Zhang Yan was able to die in the turbulent times of the late Han Dynasty, Zhang Fei heard the news and immediately wanted to go to Jizhou without saying a word, how could Zhang Xiang let him go?
Zhang Xiang knew that he couldn't control Zhang Fei, so Zhang Xiang found Zhang Hao to take care of him, Zhang Fei was most afraid of Zhang Hao, Zhang Xiang sent Zhang Fei to Zhang Hao, and sent troops to guard him because he didn't want to see Zhang Fei take risks.
Zhang Hao knew the reason from Zhang Xiang, so it was even more impossible to watch Zhang Fei leave, the method used by Zhang Hao was to force Zhang Fei to drink, and he did not hesitate to take out all his treasured wine.
If Zhang Fei was happy before, now Zhang Fei is not interested at all, drinking depends on the mood, and it is easy to get drunk when he is in a bad mood, and Zhang Fei was forced by Zhang Hao.
Zhang Fei got drunk in a few moments, Zhang Hao was also relieved, Zhang Xiang was also learning about some specific situations, Zhang Fei had been by his side for the past two days, and Zhang Xiang didn't want him to know a lot of things.
So Zhang Xiang himself doesn't know much, looking at Zhang Fei like this, Zhang Ning must be saved, Zhang Xiang doesn't want to see Zhang Fei sink like this, Yang Xu has been waiting for Zhang Xiang for a long time, "The situation of the lord is clear, Zhang Ning has entered the Taihang Mountains, Zhang Yan is using her identity to collect the scattered Yellow Turban remnants, and the momentum is very troublesome in Jizhou." ”
Zhang Xiang: "Zhang Yan is so blatant, it's not because of the Taihang Heaven, Yuan Shao won't sit idly by!" "The chaos in Jizhou is actually a situation that Zhang Xiang wants to see, and Zhang Xiang doesn't want to save people.
Yang Xu: "Yuan Shao has already begun to mobilize troops, originally Yuan Shao hoarded troops in Qinghe County, and it was obvious that he was going to attack Qingzhou, but this time he transferred his troops back, it was obvious that Zhang Yan really provoked him." ”
Zhang Xiang: "How can you allow others to snore under the couch, let alone the Black Mountain thieves who claim to be 100,000 people?" I have such a force around me, I'm afraid I will also have trouble sleeping, who is the person in charge of Qingzhou now. ”
Yang Xu: "The situation in Qingzhou is more complicated, nominally Gong Jing, but there is no actual power, and the power of Qingzhou is divided by two forces, one is Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, this person should be no stranger, and the other side is the lord's brother Liu Bei, Liu Bei married the daughter of a family a few years ago, so he rose in Pingyuan County, and deterred other counties. ”
Zhang Xiang hadn't heard of Liu Bei for a long time, and he hadn't thought that Liu Bei still rose, and it rose earlier than in history, "If we instigate the forces of Qingzhou to attack Yuan Shao, do you think it's possible?" ”
Yang Xu: "Kong Rong is old and has no ambition, and he is very pedantic, he provoked Yuan Shao, but Liu Bei is ambitious and has begun to show his edge, he may be involved, but it depends on whether the lord is reluctant to bet, and the lord plans to start with Yuan Shao." ”
Zhang Xiang: "It's really going to start, it's a matter of time or time, it's okay to be early, the covenant is just used to tear it, but don't worry, I didn't think about swallowing Yuan Shao, it would be dead, but in order to save Zhang Ning, let's take a bite first!" ”
"Whether the lord is planning to bite Jizhou or Youzhou, the goal is different, the result is different, don't be too greedy." Yang Xu felt that Zhang Xiang's method was a bit risky, and it didn't seem to be the time to start a war at this time, at least until this wave of drought ended.
Zhang Xiang: "Of course it's Youzhou, we won't have room to slow down when we attack Jizhou, Youzhou is different, as long as the situation is urgent, Yuan Shao will definitely take the initiative to divide us." ”
Yang Xu saw that Zhang Xiang's thinking was clear and he was not persuading, Yang Xu's idea was that since he wanted to move, he could only move Youzhou, "But what does this have to do with Zhang Ning?" General Zhang's side doesn't seem to be able to say it! ”
Zhang Xiang: "This matter actually has nothing to do with Zhang Ning, Zhang Ning is just a temptation, otherwise we wouldn't have made a move to Yuan Shao, since we want to move Yuan Shao, then Zhang Yan must be an ally, the stronger Zhang Yan's strength, the less pressure on our side will be, so at least before we eat meat, Zhang Ning can't leave Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan's matter will be talked about later, I will handle it on the eldest brother's side, you go and prepare for the war soon." ”
Yang Xu found that Zhang Xiang was becoming more and more like a king, he would not be bound by anything, the soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, in fact, there was one more thing before the grain and grass, that is, the news, so there was a sentence that knew oneself and knew that the other side would win all battles.
Yang Xu had already made a move to Youzhou first, and Zhang Xiang immediately found Zhang Fei, "The matter over there is something big brother Zhang Ning has over, I promised Zhang Yan a condition, as long as we do it, he will let Zhang Ning go." ”
"On what terms?" Zhang Fei also began to worry, he didn't want to let Zhang Xiang suffer because of Zhang Ning, after all, the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat, and it was not what Zhang Fei wanted to see either side suffer.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that let's send troops to Youzhou to contain Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses in Youzhou until the end of the war in Jizhou." Zhang Xiang's understatement on the surface is completely different from what he said.
"This is absolutely not good, Zhang Yan will only offer such conditions when he is crazy, third brother, you are talking back! Is this a joke? "Zhang Fei didn't believe that Zhang Xiang would agree to this condition this time, it was too unreliable.
However, Zhang Fei did not doubt what Zhang Xiang said, trusting Zhang Xiang has become Zhang Fei's habit, and Zhang Xiang has been prepared for a long time, "Does Big Brother think I'm joking?" I have made up my mind in Youzhou, but it is not for any Zhang Ning, but when we should expand, big brother, I need you to charge for the army, don't sink like this, my decision will never be changed. ”
Zhang Xiang said this, Zhang Fei already understood that the attack on Youzhou had been decided, Zhang Fei felt that Zhang Xiang would do it for himself, and all Zhang Fei could do was fight to the death.
Zhang Fei knew that this battle must not be lost, otherwise Zhang Xiang's side would not end well, only winning would solve all the problems, Zhang Fei immediately returned to the army, and the news of the attack on Youzhou also spread through Zhang Fei's mouth.
If it were someone else's mouth, they wouldn't believe it, but Zhang Fei was different, they also began to prepare for the war, this news was so sudden that even Cheng Yu was caught off guard, in fact, it is not surprising, only Yang Xu and Zhang Xiang know the details now!
However, Cheng Yu quickly discovered the suspicion, and immediately reacted that something must have happened to Yuan Shao, otherwise it would not stimulate Zhang Xiang, and Cheng Yu immediately went to Zhang Xiang to understand the situation. (To be continued.) )
