Chapter Ninety-Two: Going to Jizhou for Survival
Sun Jian made a move, naturally extraordinary, the ancient ingot knife slashed at Zhang Mancheng's neck with the sound of whirring wind, seeing that Zhang Mancheng was about to die on the spot, suddenly a soldier with a yellow scarf on his head hugged Sun Jian violently, and shouted: "Qu Shuai!" Come on! ”
"Want to go?" The snake halberd slammed forward, and the pawn who was holding Sun Jian was suddenly cut off his arms, and Zhang Mancheng's eyes were split, but he knew that he was not the opponent of Sun Jian and the two and hurriedly ran back. However, with the attack of the imperial army, there were more and more Han soldiers in the city. Zhang Mancheng stared at a pair of blood-red eyes, gritted his teeth and jumped off the head of Wancheng City!
"I'm bah..." Sun Jian spat out a mouthful of saliva, very depressed in his heart. This can make Zhang Mancheng run away, which is too depressing.
Seeing Sun Jian's depressed face, the big man holding the snake halberd couldn't help laughing and said: "Lord, you have already boarded Wancheng, you are the first to break the city, you must always give others a little soup to drink, then Zhang Mancheng should be a gift to Qin Jie!" Anyway, we still have to stay in Jiangdong, and it's not bad to have a better relationship with Nanyang Taishou! ”
"I said Demou, Zhang Mancheng's head is still valuable, even if you want to send it, you can't send it to Qin Jie!" When Sun Jian saw that the dust had settled, he didn't care about the corpses on the ground, and sat down on the ground suddenly.
Cheng Pu stepped forward to help Sun Jian and said, "Who doesn't know who to send it!" I think Zhang Mancheng's martial arts are good, Qin Jie may not be able to win him! Don't sit here, just go back to the camp with me for a change. I heard that after Guangzong's Lu Zhishu lock was taken into Beijing, Dong Zhuo was defeated by Zhang Jiao. If Wancheng is pacified, then the champion Hou Liu Zhang may have to go to Jizhou! Let's hurry up and join in the fun. ”
"Demou deserves to be a general!" Sun Jian was not injured, but he was tired of killing! With Cheng Pu's support, he slowly walked down the city.
Zhu Jun and Qin Jie saw that Wancheng City was broken, and they were commanding the troops to clean up the mess, and when they saw Sun Jian from afar, Zhu Jun immediately greeted him and said: "Wentai is worthy of being the Jiangdong Tiger, I have also attacked this Wancheng several times, and I don't want Wentai to fall in just one day!" ”
Sun Jian was still worried about Zhang Mancheng's escape, and he arched his hand and said: "The last general is incompetent, let that Zhang Mancheng escape!" ”
"He can't run!" Zhu Jun said with a smile: "Champion Hou has already laid a net, not only Zhang Mancheng, but even Peng Tuo and Bu can not run, maybe only Champion Hou can clean up Zhang Jiao!" ”
As the saying goes: there is no first martial arts. Seeing Zhu Jun's admiration for Liu Zhang, Sun Jian couldn't help but be surprised. In particular, Liu Zhang's legendary deeds made Sun Jian even more admired. You must know that Sun Jian also has two sons, one is named Sun Ce, who is slightly younger than Liu Zhang, and the other son is named Sun Quan, who is only three years old. That Sun Quan can't see it yet, but Sun Ce is brave and abnormal, Sun Jian once asserted that Sun Ce can surpass him at the age of fifteen. However, Liu Zhang was able to lead troops to repel Karasuma at the age of thirteen, and he could also directly smash the Karasuma royal court, this kind of miraculous deeds made Sun Jian want to meet Liu Zhang.
Zhu Jun sighed with emotion on the side, but Sun Jian was stunned there, Qin Jie climbed up step by step from the junior official, he saw Sun Jian stunned, and thought that Sun Jian was tired, so he smiled and said: "Lord Zhu, Wentai has been fighting for a long time, although he has not been injured, but his physical strength has been consumed a lot, let's not delay his rest!" ”
Zhu Jun slapped his forehead and said, "I'm confused!" Wentai hurry up and rest, there will be a big task for you in the future! ”
"The last general will leave!" Sun Jian slightly bowed his hand and walked towards the camp with Cheng Pu's support, as for the troops having Zhu Jun and Qin Jie to converge, he was not worried that Zhu Jun and Qin Jie would annex his troops. You must know that Sun Jian's generals are extremely loyal.
Back in the camp, Cheng Pu helped Sun Jian to bed, and suddenly Sun Jian asked: "Demou, do you believe that Liu Zhang is really that amazing?" ”
"This..."Cheng Pu hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't say!" Huaxia is so big, there are no surprises, in ancient times, Ganluo worshiped the prime minister at the age of twelve, Huo Huqi attacked the Huns at the age of nineteen, and the wolf Juxu was defeated, that is, Liu Zhang was really able to clean up the foreign clan at the age of thirteen, and I would not be surprised. ”
Sun Jian sighed: "According to what you said, this Liu Zhang is a stranger from the sky, it is better to let Ce'er work with him..."
"Lord, let's take a look first!" Cheng Pu smiled: "Isn't it too arbitrary to make a decision based on rumors?" The young master is talented and intelligent, maybe he is more promising than that Liu Zhang! ”
Sun Jian smiled and shook his head without speaking, how could he, a father, not know his son's ability. If it is said that Sun Ce is not inferior to Sun Jian, but when it comes to using his brain, Sun Ce is far inferior to Sun Jian. Seeing Sun Jian smiling and silent, Cheng Pu knew that he was tired, so he retreated. Even Cheng Pu fought all morning, and his body was a little tired.
Just when there was a fierce battle in Wancheng, Liu Zhang also launched an attack on Peng Tuo's department. This time, Liu Zhang launched an attack with the belief that one blow would kill. Although Peng Tuo had many soldiers, he was a rabble. Not long after, the Yellow Turban Thief was defeated by Liu Zhang again. In the first few encounters, every time the Yellow Turban Thief was defeated, Liu Zhang withdrew his troops. But this time, Liu Zhang and Huangfu Song actually divided the troops into small units to kill the fleeing Yellow Turban thieves.
"Qu Shuai! General Li can't stand it! A yellow turban colonel ran to Peng Tuo's side and said: "The Han army doesn't know what's wrong, it's extremely fierce, our army can't stand it!" ”
Peng Tuo looked at the battlefield not far away with his eyes blazing and said: "Tell the brothers to wait a while, if Liu Zhang doesn't retreat after a while, we will retreat to Wancheng to join Zhang Dashuai!" ”
"Yes!" The Yellow Turban Colonel immediately went down to give the order, and at this time, Liu Zhang's attack became more and more ferocious.
Peng Tuo looked at the Yellow Turban soldiers who were constantly being killed, his eyes were red, and his heart was dripping blood. He saw that the Yellow Turban Army really couldn't stop it, and immediately ordered: "Pass my order, and the whole army will retreat in the direction of Wancheng!" ”
After giving the order, Peng Tuo did not stop, and he ordered the descendants under his command to gather and go to Wancheng. Although the Yellow Turbans are a rabble, they also have benefits. The soldiers scattered and gathered, even if there were deserters, it didn't matter much.
"Report!" After traveling less than twenty miles, the scout of the Yellow Turban Army reported: There is a group of men and horses not far ahead, it seems to be the Yellow Turban Army! Peng Tuo stepped forward to see that the other party's banner turned out to be Zhang Mancheng's troops.
"What's going on?" Seeing that it was his own person, Peng Tuo immediately stepped forward to ask. Zhang Mancheng is not in the army, and the person who came is Zhao Hong, a general under Zhang Mancheng.
Zhao Hong sighed and said: "A general under Zhu Jun has broken Wancheng, and Zhang Dashuai's life and death are uncertain!" ”
"What?!" Peng Tuo was shocked: "As soon as Wancheng is lost, our army will lose its foundation in the Yingchuan area, how is this good?" ”
Zhao Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Let's go to the great sage and good teacher!" ”
"It would be nice if I could go!" Peng Tuo also said with a wry smile: "I was defeated by Liu Zhang, and it is estimated that he will chase after him soon!" ”
Zhao Hong was also shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't help asking, "What should I do?" ”
"Whole army, we fought with Liu Zhang!" Just when Zhao Hong and Peng Tuo looked helpless, a voice sounded behind the two, it turned out to be Zhang Mancheng, who had escaped from Wancheng. You must know that in history, Qin Jie's ability to kill Zhang Mancheng was mostly due to Huang Zhong. Now that Huang Zhong has surrendered to Liu Zhang, why did Qin Jie and Zhu Jun kill Zhang Mancheng?
"Dashuai!" Seeing Zhang Mancheng, Zhao Hong and Peng Tuo seemed to have found the backbone, but they didn't want to fight with Liu Zhang. Peng Tuo hesitated and said: "Dashuai, it's not that Peng Tuo is afraid of death, then Liu Zhang's strength is really not something we can resist." If you fight hard, most of them will fail! ”
Zhang Mancheng also knew that Liu Zhang was powerful, but now that they had been surrounded, they had to choose a side to rush over. Although Zhu Jun and Qin Jie are not as powerful as Liu Zhang, there is no living space for yellow turban thieves in the south, and Zhang Mancheng's best choice is to go north to join Zhang Jiao. However, even if you want to go north, you must first convince Peng Tuo.
Zhang Mancheng thought for a while and said: "Brother, Liu Zhang is indeed powerful, but we must break through, otherwise we will die here!" Although Zhu Jun is easier to fight there, if we want to survive, we have to join up with the great sages and good teachers, otherwise we will be eliminated by Liu Zhang sooner or later with our strength alone. ”
"I can't rush through!" Peng Tuo smiled bitterly: "Then Liu Zhang seems to be deliberately forcing me towards Wancheng, I think he wants to wipe us out in this area." ”
Zhang Mancheng is quite proficient in the art of war, he ordered someone to bring a map and said: "Two brothers, please see, then Liu Zhang should be near Yangzhai, we crossed Xiangcheng, entered Yanzhou from Xuchang, and went straight to Jizhou, this area is mostly mountains and forests, which is suitable for our Yellow Turban operation, Liu Zhang can't stop it even if he wants to!" ”
"This..."Peng Tuo looked at Zhang Mancheng and said: "Just listen to Brother Zhang, fight!" ”
"Good!" Zhang Mancheng said: "Pass the order, the two armies converge, let's go!" If there is anyone who is unwilling to leave, throw him to Zhu Jun and Liu Zhang! ”
Since Peng Tuo agreed to Zhang Mancheng's suggestion, the two armies immediately merged and headed for Xiangcheng. But if the Yellow Turban Army wants to go to Jizhou, there is still a big problem, that is, there is no military rations. Of course, Peng Tuo and Zhang Mancheng can rob the small town on the road. However, Zhang Mancheng was smarter, and he chose to pass by quietly, so as not to reveal his whereabouts and be discovered by Liu Zhang. As for the lack of military rations, then gather the entire army of military rations and give them to the elite troops, and by the way, slaughter the villages they met on the road and loot the grain and grass. As for the people who couldn't stand the hunger and ran away, Zhang Mancheng and Peng couldn't take care of it.
Peng Tuo was driven away by Liu Zhang, and Yang Zhai was safe. Chen Qun and Xun Yu held out in the city for ten days, and at the moment when Peng Tuo retreated, they finally couldn't support it. However, they did not go down to the city, but silently stood at the head of the city and watched Liu Zhang under the city gather the army there. Liu Zhang did not enter Yangzhai, and even Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai did not go to see the two old friends.
After gathering the troops, Liu Zhang immediately set up troops to pursue Peng Tuo. Looking at Liu Zhang who was far away, as well as the two thin figures beside Liu Zhang, Xun Yu and Chen Qun knew that Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were friends and enemies with them from now on, and they gently recited in their hearts: "Zhicai, Fengxiao, there will be a period in the future!" ”
