Chapter Eighty-Eight: Changshan Zhao Zilong!
When Cao Ying sent troops to aid Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao had already been defeated several times at the hands of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban and Youzhou Gongsun Zhan.
In addition to the constant harassment of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban, even Gongsun Chan also sent dozens of hundred-man cavalry to harass around Jizhou.
Gongsun Chan has been in Youzhou for a long time, and often fights with Karasuma outside the border, Karasuma uses this trick, which really makes Gongsun Chan a headache, and now Gongsun Chan uses this trick in Jizhou Yuan Shao, and the effect is also extraordinary.
At the end of July of the second year of Zhongping, Cao Ying joined Cao Ren and Mao Jue and gathered 100,000 soldiers to aid Yuan Shao.
When Yuan Shao himself defended the camp of the Jieqiao, led by Don't Drive and Engaged in Frustration, the strategists guarded Yecheng, and most of the other counties were obtained by Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao was willing to support but also powerless.
The two armies also clashed once twenty miles south of the boundary bridge, and Gongsun Chan personally led 80,000 infantry, arranged in a phalanx, and each flank was equipped with more than 3,000 cavalry.
Yuan Shaoling's general Lu Yi led 10,000 elite soldiers as the vanguard, with a strong crossbow and a thousand crossbows as a cover, and he himself led tens of thousands of infantry behind.
However, just as Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan were fighting, Zhang Yan, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal in Montenegro, who had not been seen for a long time, took the opportunity to seize the camp of Yuan Shaojieqiao.
Yuan Shao was shocked, worried that once the boundary bridge was lost, there would be no more barriers, so he had no choice but to order the withdrawal of troops.
How could Gongsun Chan let go of such a good opportunity?
He personally led thousands of cavalry back and forth to assault several times, and Yuan Shao's army suddenly collapsed.
Fortunately, the Jieqiao camp was not lost, and after Yuan Shao got this defeat, no matter how Gongsun Zhan insulted him outside the camp, he just didn't go out, and waited for Cao Ying's reinforcements to arrive.
At the beginning of August of the second year of Zhongping, Cao Ying commanded 100,000 soldiers to rush to the boundary bridge, Gongsun Zan saw Cao Yingzhi, so he retreated 100 miles and camped, but he used a ruthless move, that is, as mentioned earlier, nearly 10,000 cavalry with 100 people as a team, divided into dozens of teams, wanting to disturb Cao Ying and Yuan Shao's coalition army at all times, so that the two armies could not live in peace.
However, most of the soldiers under Cao Ying's command were archers and infantry, and there were only a handful of cavalry; Yuan Shao, on the other hand, had also lost all the cavalry in the previous battles, so he had to watch the cavalry that came and went like the wind harassing under his nose.
Moreover, among the nearly 10,000 cavalry of Gongsun Zhan, more than 3,000 are elite, because Gongsun Chan called himself 'White Horse General', so this army was called 'White Horse Yicong' by Cao Ying and Yuan Shao.
Bai Ma Yi is incomparable to those ordinary cavalry, not only skilled in arching and horses, but also coming and going without a trace, some bold, actually went deep into the hinterland of Jizhou, always disturbing the supply of Yuan Shao and Cao Ying's coalition army.
For this reason, Cao Ying and Yuan Shao had a headache.
In this way, the people of Jizhou have suffered even more, with barren fields and countless displaced people.
On the official road in Jizhou, a group of people slowly emerged, and one of them said, "Brother, how far is this place from Yecheng?" ”
"It's almost time, don't be in a hurry!"
"You've said this no less than twenty times!" This group of people is Jiang Zhe and others who rushed to Jizhou.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Jiang Zhe frowned, pointed to the distance and said eagerly, "Brother...... This ......"
Tian Feng looked suspiciously in the direction Jiang Zhe pointed, it didn't matter, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he said in surprise, "How can this be?" Could it be that I'm too late? After saying that, he looked shocked and hurriedly rode his horse over.
Jiang Zhe and Li Tong followed with the rest of the guards.
I saw that beside the woods on the side of the official road, there were two or three hundred Jizhou people resting on the side of the road with their baggage, but their faces were extremely poor, and they were all lying on the ground with a tired face, thinking that it was also caused by hunger.
"Uncle!" Tian Feng dismounted and walked in front of an old man, arched his hand and said, "Dare to ask the old man, where do you want to go?" ”
"Where do you want to go?" The old man opened his chapped lips, glanced at the villagers behind him, shook his head and sighed, "Wherever you go, it will end up in general, I will wait here for death!" ”
"......" Tian Feng was stunned for a moment, and asked eagerly, "Uncle, can you tell me what happened?" ”
"I don't know what happened, but I don't know what happened to the old village, but more than 100 cavalry came to the old village from nowhere, drove all of us out, and burned the village with a fire, and some villagers couldn't bear the village to be burned, and argued with those cavalry, but they were indiscriminately killed...... Alas, now that we have already eaten all the dry food on our bodies, but we still don't know where it is, it is better to wait here for death! ”
Tian Feng was speechless, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable, could it be that in just one month, the war situation was so erosive?
"Li Tong, how much dry food do I have left?" When Jiang Zhe saw the appearance of those people, he really couldn't bear it, and said out.
"Great, sir?" Li Tong was taken aback, how could he not know the mind of this good gentleman, but the key is that he and others are not enough rice......
But after glancing at Jiang Zhe's face, Li Tong still said honestly, "There are not many supplies on the road, and now it is only enough for me to wait for three days of food......
"Stay for a while, go!" Jiang Zhe gestured.
"Half ...... Be! The last general commands! Li Tong beckoned the two guards over and took out the last dry food on their bodies, his eyes complicated.
Jiang Zhe glanced at the more than 100 people in Jizhou, and said softly, "Everyone, the meager dry food on our bodies is not enough to distribute to you, and Zhe thinks about giving it to children and the old and weak first, what do you think?" ”
I saw a middle-aged man standing out of more than 100 Jizhou Middle School, and said gratefully, "I am waiting for the boy to be strong, it doesn't matter, folks, don't thank these people quickly!" ”
"Thank you!" The villagers are also simple, and no one stepped forward to rob them.
"Thank you, uncle......" a young child tugged at the corner of Jiang Zhe's clothes and thanked him.
Uncle? Oh my God! Jiang Zhe's eyes almost darkened, and he pretended to glare angrily, but it made the young boy giggle.
Jiang Zhe thought that the young child would eat her own rice crackers after getting them, but she didn't expect her to run to her mother, pull her mother's sleeve, and shout softly, "Mother, ......"
The tired woman rubbed her daughter lovingly, smiled and said, "Eat, mother is not hungry......
"Alas!" Jiang Zhe sighed heavily.
"Actually, you don't have to share the rice with us!" The old man who had just spoken sighed and said, "There is no place to go, sooner or later it will be death!" ”
Hearing these words in Tian Feng's ears, his face was embarrassed, and he arched deeply and said, "Fellow villagers, it's all my fault!" Let you fall into such a situation, you wait and go north, if you can't enter Yecheng, then I will be called Tian Yuanhao! ”
"Don't drive?" Among the people, some of them asked Tian Feng's virtuous name, and immediately got up and bowed to Tian Feng, and some even cried and begged, "Tian Beijia wants to avenge those villagers who died for no reason!" ”
"Fenghui!" Tian Feng still had an angry look on his face, Gongsun Zhan, I, Tian Feng, will kill you to vent the hatred in my heart!
This Tian Feng is really a celebrity...... Jiang Zhe nodded secretly.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Li Tong's expression changed, he listened carefully, and said to Jiang Zhe in surprise, "My lord, it's not good, there are cavalry!" More than 100 rides! ”
The old man's face changed drastically, and he said in fear, "Those are the ...... It's those cavalry ......"
"Damn it!" Tian Feng looked into the distance, his eyes full of anger.
"Brother!" Jiang Zhe snorted and signaled to Tian Feng, Tian Feng was stunned for a moment, then woke up, took a deep breath and calmed the anger in his heart.
"My lord, what should I do?" Li Tong immediately and more than ten soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion concealed Jiang Zhe and Tian Feng.
"Don't panic, be calm!" Jiang Zhe was also a little flustered in his heart, but his face did not change at all.
Ordinary heart? Li Tong and the guards glanced at each other, thinking that this was not what the adults had taught him and others during the training? Could it be that this is what it is used for?
Could it be that you can kill these more than 100 cavalrymen with a normal heart? Li Tong was still a little puzzled.
In the frightened eyes of those Jizhou people, more than 100 cavalry slowly arrived.
The cavalry at the front looked like he was only ten years old, but he and Jiang Zhe glanced at each other, and saw that Jiang Zhe was just a weak scholar, so he secretly lowered his guard, but when he saw Li Tong and the others, his expression changed slightly.
How could the murderous aura on Li Tong and the others be concealed from the soldiers who had also killed people?
I saw that the young cavalry general shouted, "Who are you waiting for!" Could it be Yuan Shao's soldiers? Tell me the truth, if you have half a lie, you will die by my gun! ”
Jiang Zhe's face remained unchanged, pushed Li Tong away, took a few steps forward and said, "General Mingjian, I am here to save my relatives, I don't know what happened here?" ”
"......" The young general hesitated to look Jiang Zhe up and down, and when he saw Jiang Zhe's indifferent and elegant appearance, he was shocked in his heart and asked, "You're not afraid of me?" ”
Jiang Zhe smiled slightly and said, "Why should you be afraid of the general, and you haven't done anything bad in your subordinates!" ”
“…… I am commanded to ...... here Kill you or not, it's all on me, aren't you afraid of dying under my gun? ”
"Since it's up to the general to kill us or not, what's the use of being afraid of it?" Jiang Zhe's face was indifferent, although he was very panicked in his heart......
"Uncle, I'm afraid ......" The young boy looked at the cavalry in horror, and dragged Jiang Zhe's shirt to death.
Jiang Zhe smiled and rubbed the child's head and protected it behind him.
"......" The young general saw this scene in his eyes, looked left and right, and saw those people holding dry food in their hands and looking at him with a frightened face, sighed in his heart, and said to Jiang Zhe, "You are just dividing rice and grain with these people?" ”
"Huh?" Jiang Zhe glanced at the other party inexplicably and said, "Yes, it's a pity that I don't have a lot of dry food on me......"
The young general glanced at the package in Li Tong's hand that had not yet been tied, and saw that there were only a few rice crackers in it, and secretly praised it in his heart.
"Who are these?" The young general pointed a gun at Li Tong and the others.
"The retinue below!"
"But you've killed someone?"
"Killed!"
"Who did you kill?"
"It's a thief and a robber, this is a troubled time, if there is no such entourage to protect it, it will become a dry bone on the roadside long ...... below"
“…… You don't want to go to Yecheng, if you go, even these entourage guards around you won't be able to protect you! ”
"Huh?"
"This is my good intention, listen to it or not, and look at you!"
Jiang Zhe arched his hand and said with a smile, "Thank you for the general's grace not to kill!" ”
"Not necessarily!" The young general said lightly, turned back to the cavalry behind him and said, "Leave the dry food with you, let's go!" ”
"This ......" all the cavalry were stunned.
"Leave the dry food with you and go!" The youngster repeated it again.
"No!" More than 100 cavalrymen all threw their dry food pockets on the ground with one hand, but the other hand never left the hilt, which was completely seen by Jiang Zhe, Tian Feng and Li Tong.
Glancing at Jiang Zhe, the young general nodded to Jiang Zhe, and then pointed to one place and said, "There is a county town more than ten miles away from this trip, and the guards are quite strict, so I can't wait to enter...... You wait and do it yourself! ”
After saying that, he turned his horse's head and wanted to take the cavalry away.
Looking at the more than 100 bags of dry food on the ground, Jiang Zhe shouted loudly, "Who are you?" Can I register my name? ”
"Changshan Zhao Zilong!"
