Chapter 40: Without you, where would it be wonderful, support you
A corpse descended four cities in a row
Lin An was unconscious, but Hu Zhen died. The news brought back by the wolf rider startled Chen Lin, and he hurriedly rushed out, Lin Anke was his cousin, and he saw a bunch of people busy at the gate of the temporary camp of the Hanzhong army. Chen Lin shouted, "Get out of the way." When I opened the crowd, it was Lin An, who was being cared for by several wolf riders at this time, and there was Hu Zhen's body next to him. The wolf rider who had been robbed of his horse and slashed by Hu Zhen was lying on the ground and crying: "Deputy commander, it's all a shame for you." Chen Lin kicked over and shouted, "What are you crying about, Vice President Lin is not dead yet." Then hurriedly shouted to Chen Ze: "Zhongzhi, quickly find all the doctors or something, you can find it any way, you can rob it, you must save this kid Curie." Chen Ze was mixed with Lin An day and night in the wolf ride, the relationship between the two was not covered, at this time he was in a state of confusion, and when he heard Chen Lin say, he hurriedly commanded the people to go to the green. But he saw one of the wolf riders who was nursing Lin An standing up and said: "Lord, the deputy commander is not in the way, he didn't hurt the vital point, it's just fainting, it's okay to sleep for a while, but I'm afraid I can't use force in a short time." "Hu Zhenpu's knife is passing through Lin An's shoulder blade, it must have an impact on his arm.
When Chen Lin heard this, he laughed: "You still want to use force? The surrounding wolves were all happy, Jia Xu happened to come over at this time, saw the corpse of Hu Zhen on the ground, and sighed secretly, the general of the powerful Kwantung Coalition Army, went like this, although he was an enemy, he provoked Jia Xu's sadness, but after thinking about Jia Xu, he came up with a vicious plan. The battle of ambushing Hu Zhen's pursuers lasted for two hours, with 6,000 soldiers and horses against 10,000 Dong troops, ending with the defeat of Dong Jun. After the end of this battle, no matter where you go, you can hear Liu Bei's subordinate general Zhang Yide shouting happily. In this battle, the wolf cavalry of the Hanzhong army suffered two hundred casualties, and the remaining three thousand foot soldiers were not all the capital, that is to say, Huang Zhong and other generals, each of them now has about 500 soldiers and horses, and Liu Bei has almost become a bare-bones general, but Liu Bei's sadness is not seen at all. Liu Bei knew that this battle was enough to make Liu Xuande famous all over the world, and Hu Zhen died, and the east of Hangu Pass was almost owned by Chen Lin, which meant that it might also be owned by him Liu Bei. So Liu Bei was not at all uneasy except for being a little worried about Jian Yong before.
Hu Zhen had an army of 10,000, about 3,000 fled, more than 4,000 were beheaded, and 2,000 were surrendered. Therefore, in terms of the number of casualties alone, the casualties of Hu Zhen's army and Chen Lin's army are almost the same. Jia Xu returned to the big tent and said to Chen Lin: "Lord, I thought I should hide Hu Wencai's death." Chen Lin looked back, knowing that Jia Xu might have any plans, and said, "Wenhe, if you have any plans, come quickly." Jia Xu smiled: "Now that Vice President Lin has returned, the war has ended, which means that Dong Jun, who has not fled, knows that Hu Wencai is dead, and our army can deceive the city gates of Caoyang Michi and other cities with his corpse, and capture the four cities east of Hangu Pass in one fell swoop, together with Yongning, which Dong Jun voluntarily abandoned, there are five counties in Hongnong that are no longer owned by Dong Jun, and our army can face Hangu Pass at that time, and no longer worry about the enemy behind it." ”
Chen Lin was shocked, and took the corpse of the dead to commit the crime, which was a great disrespect for the deceased, and hurriedly looked at Jia Xu, Jia Xu said: "Lord, ask for Dong Daye, my Hanzhong 8,000 army is far away from Hanzhong, and now the old department of Hanzhong is less than 2,000, the lord is willing to let these people who are far away from their hometown continue to die in other places......" Chen Lin: "Enough, a certain consent is enough." "Now there are 3,000 soldiers and horses left behind by Hu Zhen in every city such as Mianchi, according to the current situation of the Hanzhong army, it is really impossible to attack the fortifications, even the wounded soldiers are counted, the Hanzhong army is only more than 3,000, I am afraid that a city can not be defeated. With Hu Zhen's corpse, it is much easier to do, and persuasion may be able to persuade him to surrender, Hu Zhen is the governor of Hangu Pass, once Hu Zhen dies, Dong Zhuo can't send someone to take over so quickly for at least half a month, so before Dong Zhuo reacts, it is the best time for Chen Lin to act.
Without further ado, Chen Lin hurriedly ordered the army to strictly guard the news of Hu Zhen, and no one was allowed to enter or leave the barracks at will. On the second day, dozens of Dong soldiers who were willing to surrender were arranged by Chen Lin in front of the army, and Hu Zhen's body was tied to a horse, looking from a distance, as if he was seriously injured, but it was clearly seen that it was Hu Zhen himself. In this way, the wolf rode behind to guard the prisoners and help the wounded, and Chen Lin personally led the team to lead two thousand foot soldiers to Cao Yang first. The place of yesterday's battle is less than ten miles away from Cao Yang, and it is there in a blink of an eye. The whole army wore the armor of Dong Jun, under the banner of Hu Zhen, pretending that a big battle had just passed, and walked towards the gate of Caoyang without any scruples.
Naturally, it attracted the attention of the Cao Yang guards, and hurriedly ordered the garrison to fight, but when he saw that it was Hu Zhen's banner, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and shouted: "The governor is back, the governor is back." "Yesterday, there were a lot of Dong troops who came in a rout, if it weren't for Hu Zhen's order not to leave the city no matter what, I'm afraid that this guard general would lead his troops out to rescue. When the guard took a look, he saw Hu Zhen riding on the horse without saying a word, and there was a sergeant next to him to support him, and the guard general was shocked: "The governor is injured?" But the general couldn't help but ask, "But the governor?" ”
The people next to Hu Zhen were generally surrendered by Dong Jun, and the other half were guarding them. This group of people themselves surrendered automatically, and when they made meritorious contributions, they naturally did not make trouble, one of the most outstanding, seeing the guard general's questioning, he stood up angrily: "Blind dog's eyes, the governor was ambushed by the rebels yesterday, and the injury was not light, there are deserters who fled back in the city, the governor said, escape from the battle, behead, if I didn't wait for yesterday to fight the enemy, I wouldn't be able to come back today, the governor was seriously injured, and I didn't open the door quickly." At this time, a Hanzhong soldier behind Hu Zhen's horse took the opportunity to hit Hu Zhen's horse's hind buttocks, and the war horse neighed and took a few steps forward. From the perspective of the city, the guard general saw that the little soldier had finished scolding, but Hu Zhen was furious and walked a few steps forward, so startled that the guard hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute, the last general will open the door." After that, he hurriedly rushed down in person and ordered someone to open the city gate, and the governor was outside, and he didn't dare not greet him personally.
Chen Lin pretended to be an ordinary soldier in the army, and when he saw the guards going down to the city, Chen Lin turned around and nodded at Huang Zhong and the others, and several generals slowly moved forward. The gate of Caoyang City slowly opened, and Chen Lin's army slowly entered, without makeup on his body, it was directly scars and blood, all of which were left over from yesterday's battle, and the guards were shocked. At this time, the guard looked directly at Hu Zhen outside the door, and suddenly decided that it was not right, Hu Zhen never let the soldiers and horses enter the city first, and he was usually advanced himself. Suddenly, two of the soldiers and horses walking by suddenly jumped out and shouted, and one left and one right slashed at him. The guard general was frightened and fell into the plan, but the two big men who suddenly attacked, one was Huang Zhong and the other was Wu Kuang, where Rong Shou General had the slightest chance to escape, he was caught by the two. Huang Zhong: "The governor of the Ru family is dead, and the wise obediently ordered the whole army to surrender, otherwise you will be left to the ground." "What, Hu Zhen is dead, this is the first thought in the guard's heart, but he doesn't believe it, and in a blink of an eye, he remembers the scene just now, and the guard knows that he is afraid that it is true.
The 2,000 troops in Hanzhong have entered the city, and the guards have been captured inexplicably, Cao Yang was taken by Chen Lin without any suspense, and the 3,000 troops who did not use their swords have all become prisoners. Jia Xu: "Lord, our army can't rest, absolutely not, take Michi quickly." But Chen Lin also has concerns in his heart, there are more than 5,000 prisoners than soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, these Dong troops who have just surrendered, Chen Lin definitely does not dare to use them, but what to do. Killed? Put? After Jia Xu learned of Chen Lin's concern, he thought for a while and said: "Lord, if there is time, these prisoners will not be difficult to deal with, just like before, some of them joined the army and filled in our army, and some of them were placed as people, but now that the time is urgent, it is impossible for Duan to recruit into the army." If the lord hands it over to Liu Xuande, let him recruit people to manage, and save our army trouble, but in this way, Liu Xuande can recruit thousands of troops in a short time, and his strength has increased greatly. ”
Chen Lin said: "If it rises, it will rise, and Xuande can be regarded as a member of the Dong Dynasty, so he will do it." So Liu Beikong got 5,000 captives, all of whom were young and strong men, and they could become an army in a blink of an eye, as long as Liu Bei could afford it. Under the city of Mianchi, the same situation, but Chen Lin changed to the guard of Mianchi and said that Hanzhong occupied Cao Yang, and the guard of Mianchi also did not have much suspicion, after all, Hu Zhen was under the city. Then there is Hongnong, Jiaxian, but in Jiaxian, a key figure escaped, Hu Zhen's deputy general Hu Tong, which made Jia Xu feel a pity. Chen Lin also knew that according to Jia Xu's plan, even Hanguguan would be deceived, Hu Tong fled, and Hu Zhen's corpse would lose its effect. Chen Lin thought about it for the last time, and Kuaima sent someone to send Hu Zhen to Hangu Pass and return it to Hu Tong, who was said to be Hu Zhen's clan. Hu Tong did run back to Hangu Pass, and he still couldn't believe that Hu Zhen was dead, but he had to believe that when Chen Lin returned Hu Zhen's body, Hu Tong was grateful to Chen Lin again, in short, Hu Tong now hates and is grateful to the Hanzhong Army. However, Hangu Pass Chen Lin is not trying to deceive it, saying that this Hangu Pass guard is a figure that Chen Lin did not expect, at this time, this person saw Hu Tong come back and said, knowing that the east of Hangu Pass is no longer owned by Dong Jun, so he hurriedly ordered Hangu Pass to close the gate, and at the same time quickly reported Hu Zhen's matter to Dong Zhuo. There are 10,000 troops on Hangu Pass, as long as Dong Jun does not open the door by himself, or there is civil strife, tens of thousands of troops will not be eager to capture Hangu Pass.
Chen Lin handed over the captives of Michi and Caoyang to Liu Bei, and after the Hanzhong army opened the gate of Hongnong, he ordered the wolf to ride the captives to Jiaxian step by step, so at this time, in Jiaxian outside Hangu Pass, Chen Lin's 3,300 army also had 6,000 prisoners from Jiaxian and Hongnong counties. After learning about the situation in Hangu Pass, Chen Lin knew that he had to recuperate, during this time, it was impossible for Dong Jun to get out of the pass, and Chen Lin had no way to tackle the problem, so it was up to Dong Zhuo, who was far away in Chang'an, to deal with it. Unknowingly, he has been begging Dong for more than half a year, and he began to leave Hanzhong at the end of last year, traveling thousands of miles, with countless deaths and injuries, but he didn't even see Dong Zhuoying.
I don't know what Chen Lin's plans are, and what the Guan Allied Army is doing at this time, who knows.
