Chapter 249 Shi Dayi's recovery is endless, and he does his best to defeat Jiangdong

The text says that when Liu Bei arrived in Youzhou, Liu Chan, with the help of Pang Tong and Zhang Fei, had already defeated Yuan Shang several times in a row and captured several cities.

In order to prevent Yuan Shang from uniting with Gongsun Yue of Liaodong, Pang Tong led his troops to attack all the way, and directly captured Youbeiping, cutting off their hope of union.

Then, he suggested to Liu Bei that the troops should be divided into two routes, taking Wuzhong and Fan Yang respectively.

The city of no end is the place where Liu Bei was born at the beginning, and he still has some feelings for it. And Zhang Ji is an endless military marquis, and he was also promoted by Liu Bei here, so he grew up all the way.

The march was endless, Liu Bei did not lead too many soldiers and horses, except for the guards around him - 3,000 white fashion army, 3,000 white horse righteous servants, 800 trap camps and 1,000 wolf tooth soldiers, it was the 3,000 infantry of Zhang Ji's department.

Zhang Ji led the vanguard and led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to go straight to the endless city. The deputy general beside him is Zheng Xing, who is with him without ending.

When he left Wuxi, he followed Liu Bei. At that time, the end was like a paradise, where the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and a hundred industries were prosperous and thriving.

Now, what fell into their eyes was a devastation of devastation, and the village was ruined, like a ghost town and a dead house, with crows standing and vultures circling. After staring for a long time, they didn't see a single figure.

Seeing such a scene, Zhang Ji's surprise stood out.

When Zheng Xing left here, he seemed to have seen all this, so much so that he didn't show much surprise!

"Since the lord left because of the yellow scarf, there has been no such thriving situation in the end! Lord Chen is determined to become a good official like the lord, but it's a pity that there is only one lord in the world! No one else can learn it! But don't talk about Lord Chen, just talk about Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan. They only know the needs of the upper echelons, and they don't care about the life and death of the people! Therefore, Lord Chen repeatedly wrote to them, but he was ostracized again and again! Zheng Xing sighed and said.

Zhang Ji asked thoughtfully, "This is the reason why you defected to the lord?" ”

"Yes! At the beginning, the lord entrusted the endless to Lord Chen and me. Unfortunately, we can't give them the life they have in the same way that they do. In addition, Gongsun Chan is a war maniac, and he often starts wars, making the people miserable! As a last resort, Master Chen and I abandoned the people and went to find the lord! Zheng Xing replied.

"Perhaps, it's really as the lord said!" Zhang Ji said half a sentence, then drove straight to the front of the team.

What did the lord say?

Zheng Xing looked at Zhang Ji in the distance in confusion, and after being stunned, he chased after him.

After the soldiers and horses marched for more than 200 miles, Zhang Jifang saw a village in front of him, and there were a few thatched huts in the village, and smoke rose from the stove.

"Stop!" Zhang Jiyu ordered the army to stop and stand by.

Zheng Xing came over and asked, "Why did Brother Xian stop?" ”

"Look ahead, there's still people there!" Zhang Ji pointed to the huts and said, "You have led the soldiers and horses to wait here, and I will go to investigate." ”

Thinking that he hadn't seen a single family along the way, Zheng Xing nodded and agreed: "It's okay, be careful." ”

Zhang Ji took six guards and rode straight to the village.

This is a small village in Bangshan, and if it weren't for the smoke rising, it would be really hard to see.

There are five courtyards in total, and there is still some distance between them.

The outermost one, which probably covers an area of more than one acre. There was a pile of hay in the yard, which seemed to have just been dried and piled up. At this time, it is not harvest time, and there is no ripe grain in the yard, but some prey fur that is being dried.

The gate of the courtyard is a fence gate made of rattan braided together, slightly hidden.

Coming to the gate of the courtyard, Zhang Ji turned over and dismounted, and handed over the silk reins to the guards.

"Is anyone home?" He shouted.

"Someone!" The voice of a woman who didn't sound too old came from the hut.

A short time later, a woman dressed as a peasant woman came out of it.

Because of the shade of the trees, she didn't seem to see Zhang Ji's appearance. When she approached, she panicked and asked tremblingly, "Is there an envoy here?" ”

Yes!

It's been a long time since an official mission has come to this place!

Will the people not be afraid when they see it?

Zhang Ji didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, and just as he was about to explain, he heard an old voice coming from inside: "Hey! What a sin! This year, I have been hiding here, but I still haven't hid! Official, there are no good things in the poor countryside, only the lonely old lady and this daughter-in-law are left in my family, and the strong men in the family have also been arrested by you! ”

"Old man, we're just passing by along the way, and we're frightening you!" Zhang Ji hurriedly explained.

"Da da da......" The sound of crutches hitting the ground came from the side, and an old lady appeared in front of Zhang Ji on crutches.

"Old man?! Hey, how long has it been since I've heard the official call me a lonely old lady who is about to enter the ground? The last time I heard this name was more than ten years ago or more than twenty years ago! At that time, the parent official here was a half-grown child, and people called him Liu Sima! It's this Liu Sima ......" The old lady's words suddenly increased.

Zhang Ji and the others and the woman all listened quietly.

After the old woman finished speaking, Zhang Ji answered: "Old man, no wonder you still remember Liu Sima!" I was the military marquis under Liu Sima at that time. At that time, Liu Sima was now a second-class member of the imperial court, and he was an official and a general. ”

"Huh?! He's a big official! The old man's face showed a look of surprise, but it disappeared in an instant, and he muttered, "What if he becomes a big official?" Aren't we, the common people, suffering? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Ji stretched out his hand to support the old lady and said, "Old man, the general is back!" He's here to save everyone! ”

With a "snap", the old lady grabbed his hands, stared at Zhang Ji with her eyes, and asked in a trembling voice, "You, are you telling the truth?" ”

"Old man, I've waited for the soldiers and horses to get to the bottom of the mountain, of course it's true!" Zhang Ji said with a smile, and then led the old man to a spacious place and pointed it out to the old man.

Seeing the neat group of soldiers under the mountain, on the road in a regular manner, without the slightest behavior of those soldiers, the old lady still looked at Zhang Ji with some doubts.

Zhang Ji thought for a while and asked, "Old man, listen to you, this is here later?" ”

"Yes! We were to live in the city of no end. When the eldest lord of Gongsun fought with the eldest lord of the Yuan family, the people in the endless city ran away! Even the military Sima whose name is Zheng Xing also protected the old man surnamed Chen and ran away. My son took me and my daughter-in-law here! The old lady spoke a little softer at this time.

Zheng Xing? This old lady knows Zheng Xing?!

Zhang Ji asked tentatively: "Does the old man recognize that Zheng Xing?" ”

"Humph! If you recognize it, how can you not recognize it? At first, we all thought he was still a hero, a hero like Liu Sima? The old lady said with a look of disdain.

Looking at the expression on the old lady's face, Zhang Ji guessed that there must be something in it, so he asked again, "Could it be that something happened?" ”

Rolling her eyes and glancing at Zhang Ji, the old lady sighed and said, "It stands to reason that he Zheng Xing is still a benefactor of my family." At that time, my father-in-law was not the master of the county government, but just a down-and-out scholar from outside, who was trapped in the cold winter, and met Zheng Xing by chance before he was saved. At that time, Chen Mi, the master of the county government, was already the county master, and there was just a lack of a master, so my father-in-law became a master under his recommendation! ”

"And what happened after that?"

"Humph! At the beginning, he and Chen Mi were like that Liu Sima, who dared to stand up and protect our people. But later, they, they actually left us and ran away on their own! The old lady began to cry as she spoke.

"Hey! Old people, sometimes if you want to protect others, you can only do it after you have absolute ability! It's not that they don't want to protect you, it's that they don't have the ability to protect you anymore! Just like Liu Sima at the beginning, he knew that his ability needed to be enhanced, so he chose to recruit the Yellow Turban. Now, he still thinks of the lifeless father who raised him in the past, so when he has strength, he comes back to protect you! ”

Listening to Zhang Ji's words, the old lady nodded and said, "The old woman is chattering, and I still look at the official Haihan!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay! The young general will say goodbye first, please take care of the elderly! After speaking, Zhang Ji took the silk reins from the soldier's hand, turned over on the horse, and wanted to leave.

The young woman hurriedly said, "It's not early, so please have dinner in the cold house!" ”

Zhang Ji laughed and said, "Thank you, there is food in the army!" After saying that, lead the people back.

When he came back to see Zheng Xing, Zhang Ji asked, "When you left Wuzhi, who was the county yaxian Cheng?" ”

"Master Wang? Wang Min? ”

"His widow is on a hillside, and he seems to have some prejudice against you!" Zhang Ji said with a worried face.

After listening to Zhang Ji's speech, Zheng Xing told Zhang Ji about the situation at that time, and then said: "I want to go up in person and ask the soldiers to help me prepare some gifts!" ”

Zhang Ji nodded, and then ordered the soldiers to fetch some meat and food.

Zheng Xing handed over the weapon to Zhang Ji, took two soldiers, and rode to the mountain.

The old woman was still watching from the hill when she saw three men riding horses.

"Why did you come back again?" The old man muttered, and looked towards the intersection.

The person who came vaguely arrived, but the old man was dazzled and did not recognize it.

Zheng Xing turned over and dismounted, came to the old man's approach, picked up his clothes and knelt down, leaned over and bowed: "Old sister-in-law, Zheng Xing is late to come back!" ”

Zheng Xing?!

Are you really Zheng Xing?

The old man couldn't believe it, the resentment and anger that had accumulated in his heart had disappeared without a trace under his knees!

"You, are you really Zheng Xing?"

"Old sister-in-law, it's really me!"

After seeing Zheng Xing clearly, the old man leaned down and hugged him and cried bitterly.

At this moment, a middle-aged man came out of the hut, holding a hunting fork in his hand, and it was the young woman standing beside him.

The old man wiped his eyes, then helped Zheng Xing up and said, "This is your eldest nephew Wang Cong!" ”

At that time, he was still a child, and now he has grown up, this son is called Wang Cong, and the word is Hui.

"Wang Cong has seen his uncle!"

"Big brother has a successor, I'm relieved!" Zheng Xing said, and asked people to bring the gifts.

The old man arranged the meals and left Zheng Xing to eat.

During the meal, Zheng Xing told the old man's family the purpose of his visit.

Wang Congyan said: "Before, there were only more than 2,000 defenders at the end of the line, but then somehow there were six or seven thousand, and now there are about more than 10,000 people. HOWEVER, THE PEOPLE IN THE CITY HAVE LONG BEEN TIRED OF THE RULE OF THE YUAN FAMILY, AND I WILL GO INTO THE CITY WITH SOME HUNTERS AND CONTACT SOME PEOPLE, AND WHEN MY UNCLE RAISES TROOPS TO ATTACK THE END, WE WILL HOLD BAOLUAN IN THE CITY TO HELP YOU BREAK THE CITY! ”

"Good! You just need to tell you that the general of the Che Cavalry is Liu Sima in the past, and the main generals of the vanguard army this time are Zhang Ji and Zheng Xing, the military marquis at that time! Zheng Xing explained carefully, and said, "Tell those original merchants in the city not to worry, we won't confiscate their property!" ”

Wang Cong nodded.

With Wang Cong's help, the city of Wuzhong was quickly captured by Zhang Ji and the others.

Ma Yan, the general of the endless guard, took more than 4,000 people and went straight to Fan Yang.

Liu Bei persecuted Yuan Shang to the point where there was almost no way to escape......

And at this time, Koto.

Sun Ce died, and passed on the edict to put his younger brother Sun Quan in power.

Cao Cao sent people to canonize Sun Quan as the assassin of Yangzhou, so that he could recover the four counties of Yangzhou and Jiangbei.

Sun Quan accepted the order, but there was no movement.

The envoy urged repeatedly, but Sun Quan shirked it because he thought it was for his brother's spiritual wake......
