It is said that after Wen Chou beheaded Song Huan and others, he ordered the army to strengthen the camp, and at the same time set up traps on the way, just waiting for Zhang Yuan's army to attack. But it's also strange that Zhang Yuan's army just didn't come for a long time, and after he suffered a loss, he didn't dare to attack rashly, and now the soldiers have no fighting spirit, so he naturally won't send them to death like this.

Seeing that two days have passed, Wen Chou is naturally a little impatient in his heart, and if he waits like this, he is afraid that it will be difficult to have a round with Yan Liang on the Liaoxi side, and if Zu Zhao is allowed to seize Liaoxi at that time, then he will always be unable to explain to Yuan Shao, unless Zhang Yuan and others are arrested, and Zu Zhao is allowed to give up Liaoxi, so that he can return the person to him. Thinking like this in his heart, Wen Chou thought in his heart that he must defeat Zhang Yuan and capture their brothers alive, but he did not have a good plan.

At this time, a soldier suddenly came to report, saying that he had captured a messenger from Zhang Yuan's army, a messenger from Liaodong County. They found a letter on him. Wen Chou listened, immediately took the letter, opened it and took a look, only to see that it was written that Liaodong was in civil strife, and the little official Gongsun Du took the opportunity to plan to know Zu Zhao's strength, and now the situation has been out of control, and Zu Zhao is trapped in Liaoxi, it is difficult to return to Liaodong, let Zhang Yuan quickly lead the army back to Liaodong, there must be no mistake.

When Wen Chou saw this letter, he laughed and shouted, "God help me." He wanted to immediately send troops to pursue Zhang Yuan, at this time, Zhang Yuan couldn't care about each other, if he pursued him, it would be a complete victory, and there was no suspense. However, a strategist stopped Wen Chou's impulse and told him that Zhang Yuan had always been resourceful, and now that Xu Tu was drinking him together, or maybe this was one of their traps, it was not too late to let people find out the situation of Zhang Yuan's army before making a decision.

Wen Chou listened to the words of the strategist, and saw that he sent spies to Zhang Yuan's military camp to spy on the information, as long as he was sure that there was any change on Zhang Yuan's side, then he would directly launch a pursuit. Sure enough, the spies soon reported that the camp of Zhang Yuan's army was still there, but there were only some tents in a conspicuous place, but in fact, their army was already retreating, and had withdrawn for dozens of miles.

Wen Chou listened, and ordered someone to press the messenger and ask him if Zhang Yuan had received the information. The messenger told him that when they came out, in order to prevent being caught, the two of them went separately, and that if they did not think that they had been caught, the other must have sent the letter.

Listening to what the messenger said, Wen Chou even believed that Zhang Yuan must have withdrawn from the army, and if he stays now, it must be the army after the break, they have few troops, as long as they attack with all their might, the army after the break will not pose a threat to their army at all.

Wen Chou was excited, as if he had seen that he had captured Zhang Yuan's brothers and Xu Tu alive, and immediately ordered the three armies, the whole army was impulsive, leaving a small number of people to guard the camp, and the rest immediately pursued Zhang Yuan's troops. Wen Chou led the army to the camp of Zhang Yuanjun, and sure enough, he saw that there was no army inside, just some banners to hide people's ears.

At this moment, the spies reported again, and two miles ahead, they found that Zhang Yuan's broken army, about 2,000 people, was retreating rapidly, and it seemed that they had already learned the news that they were pursuing. Wen Chou Ha Luha laughed for a while, and said bluntly that this time God really helped him, and Zhang Yuan's army would definitely not be able to return to Liaodong. He ordered the army to advance at full strength, while he himself quickly pursued with eight thousand light cavalry, leaving the lieutenant general with the rest of the army to follow.

After chasing for nearly three miles, I saw that the army in front of me was retreating rapidly, and the lineup was very chaotic, and there was no such strictness as Zhang Yuanzhi's army. Wen Chou secretly said in his heart that this must not be after Zhang Yuan's decision, otherwise the army would not be so flustered. He was overjoyed and commanded the army to quickly chase the generals.

Zhang Yuan's broken troops heard that there was an army chasing after them, they all threw away their armor, and all the flags in their hands were dropped, and they scattered and fled for their lives, without the appearance of an army at all. When Wen Chou saw it, he couldn't help but laugh for a while, and said: "Zhang Wenyuan, Zhang Wenyuan, you think you have a good way to lead the troops, what is the use of you choosing such an army as the team behind you." After laughing for a while, he continued to command the army to chase and kill, and their mounts were fast, and the distance between them and the large army behind them was even wider.

A strategist said: "General, we are now getting farther and farther away from the army, if there is an ambush in front, we will definitely suffer, why not wait for the army to arrive and then pursue." ”

Wen Chou said angrily: "You are delaying the fighter, and when our army arrives, we will already catch the enemy general." Give me speed, full speed, if anyone dares to say such a disturbing military heart, there will be no forgiveness. ”

Seeing that Wen Chou was so angry and didn't listen to persuasion, all the lieutenant generals didn't dare to say anything, and followed him forward. After chasing for about half a day, I saw Zhang Yuan's army of more than 1,000 troops slowly retreating from a distance, and the grain and grass were among that group of troops.

Wen Chouxi was overjoyed, and immediately commanded the army to rush over. The army saw Wen Chou commanding the army to rush forward, and they were all on foot, but now they wanted to get on their horses when they saw the enemy approaching. However, Zhang Pre ordered that no one was allowed to mount the horse until he received the order. Although the soldiers were nervous, they could not disobey the order and could only continue to move forward.

As Wenchou's army approached further, Zhang Pre ordered some grain and grass to be thrown away, but people still couldn't get on their horses. The men who were escorting the grain and grass were ordered to immediately discard some of the special grain and grass carts and horses, and then retreated quickly.

It seems that this time Zhang Pre-army's army is really fleeing for their lives in Liaodong, and they escort grain and grass, naturally they can't keep up with the army, in order to return to Liaodong, the army naturally goes back quickly, leaving only Zhang Pre here to escort grain and grass.

When Wenchou's army came to the place where Zhang Prejun had thrown away the grain and grass, everyone happily split up to grab the grain, and the formation was suddenly chaotic. They dismounted one after another, put the grain on their horses, the most important thing in the war is the grain, now that there is food, they are naturally happy, first to pick up the grain.

Seeing that the soldiers were in chaos, Wen Chou didn't stop it much, but just led the army that did not dismount to continue the pursuit. And along the way, as more and more grain and grass were dropped by Zhang Pre's army, Wen Chou's army naturally dispersed more forces to share the grain and grass.

In the end, the 8,000 light cavalry led by Wen Chou was less than 3,000 when they caught up with Zhang Pre's army. At this time, Zhang Pre ordered all the soldiers to get on their horses and turn around and rush to kill. The soldiers got the order, flew on their horses one by one, held spears and spears, and killed them directly, Wen Choujun did not expect that Zhang Yu would suddenly command the army to kill the generals back, and they were all in chaos.

Zhang Pre held his spear, majestic, and roared to take Wen Chou, while the other soldiers directly broke through Wen Wen Chou's army, desperately killing those soldiers who were plundering grain and grass. Wen Chou's soldiers were afraid and messy in their hearts, and they had no fighting spirit at all, and they were killed by Zhang Pre's army, which was originally 8,000 light cavalry, but they were killed and wounded nearly half in an instant, while Zhang Pre's 1,000 soldiers, only a few were injured, and none of them died. This made Wen Chou's army even more frightened, why was this team escorting grain and grass so much stronger than the broken team.

In fact, they don't know what to say, this team of 1,000 people is an elite light soldier specially given to Zhang Yuan by Zu Zhao, who has received the most severe training from Feng Luoxue, and all of them are good players with a dozen or ten, and they can single out several people, and they can open the lineup to compete with the enemy.

Wen Chou's eyes saw that his eight thousand light cavalry suffered heavy casualties, and he was also a little panicked in his heart, and he couldn't help but be angry, and quickly attacked Zhang Pre, but after two hundred rounds of the battle, he failed to gain the upper hand at all, and Zhang Pre also looked very relaxed, the gun line, the slightest deviation, and the previous sneak attack on the camp was completely two people.

"You've got some skills." Wen Chou praised.

"It's not bad to ask the general. It's just that your soldiers don't dare to compliment. Zhang Zhen deliberately stimulated Wen Chou like this, in order to make his heart messy, so that he would attack him. Wen Chou listened to Zhang Pre's words, and really became angry, yelled and thought, and killed Zhang Pre. Zhang Zhang pre-raised the gun to catch Wen Chou's attack, the two guns intersected, the sound was loud, even if it was the middle of the day, you could clearly see the sparks emitted when the gun heads collided.

After a few rounds, the two men retreated some distance on their horses. Wen Chou stared at Zhang Yu, and said secretly in his heart: "This kid, his bravery is not inferior to his brother Zhang Yuan, I have to go all out to capture him." ”

Zhang Yu was also impressed in his heart, and said: "Wen Chou really has the ability to bravely champion the three armies, I watched him fight with his brother before, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful, every time the gun collided with him, it shook my arm numb." It seems that the next one should be more careful. ”

The two looked at each other for a while, and then rushed to kill. Zhang Pre took out a shot, Wen Chou blocked it, and returned a shot, Zhang Pre lowered his head to dodge, slapped his horse and got up, and a shot went straight to Wen Chou's face door, Wen Chou couldn't dodge, crowded with guns to block, but it was still half a little slower, fortunately, Zhang Yuan's gun was missed, but this shot was directly stabbed on his pocket, and he pulled it hard, and picked Wen Chou's pocket.

Wen Chou was shocked, if this was a little off, wouldn't it be the death of this little ear's hand?

"General, your head again, can you still fight?" Zhang Zhuha smiled and took Wen Chou's pocket in his hand, thinking that he would shake it for a while. Wen Chou was furious, raised his gun to snatch it, Zhang Pre flashed, put his shackle on horseback, and fought with Wen Chou with both guns.

Fifty rounds later, Zhang Yu's hook and sickle were stuck with Wen Chou's again, and he pulled hard, but he couldn't take it off, but Wen Chou was so powerful that he pulled him and his mount over a distance. Wen Chou saw it, swished, pulled out the sword at his waist, and slashed straight at Zhang Zhu's neck, panicked, and hurriedly held the gun to block, only to hear a sound, and the sword of the gun Hei Wen Chou was cut in two.

Zhang Pre rode his horse back, threw the gun at Wen Chou, and when Wen Chou was unprepared, turned the horse's head and ordered the soldiers to retreat. The soldiers were given the order and gave up the fight one after another and followed Zhang Pre to retreat. Wen Chou was about to chase after him, but found that almost half of his 8,000 light soldiers died, and all those who survived were injured, but none of Zhang Pre's 1,000 troops died.

"How can there be such a strong army?" Wen Chou looked at Zhang Yu's back and couldn't help but sigh. Seeing that his army was beaten to pieces, he felt pain and hatred in his heart, and vowed to destroy Zhang Yu and his elite troops in order to relieve the hatred in his heart.

After resting for a while, seeing that his army had arrived, Wen Chou immediately mounted his horse and let the army launch a pursuit. The army did not dare to disobey, and continued to follow him with exhaustion. After chasing for about half an hour, I saw Zhang Yu's team of 1,000 people resting in front. When Wen Chou saw this, he immediately ordered someone to attack quickly, and he himself rode first to kill him.

Zhang Pre chased Wen Chou again, and immediately ordered everyone to get on the horse, and fled forward without heading, the plastic surgery was not as stylish as just now, and it was very scattered. Wen Chou secretly said in his heart: Ignorant child, no matter how much you can fight, there are only a thousand people, how can you fight with my army of 10,000 people.

Zhang Zhen's army did not look back and fled, and he also threw down some flags during the period, which was completely the appearance of a defeated army. Wen Chou commanded the army and forced them into a gourd valley. Wen Chou was about to chase, and a strategist said that the terrain here is dangerous, and Zhang Yuan's army is missing, if they set up an ambush here, it will not be good.

Wen Chou said: "Seeing that Zhang is so embarrassed to escape, he Zhang Yuan wants to return to Liaodong, how can there be any time to set up an ambush here." Pursue them quickly, and they will be captured before they squeeze into Liaodong County, otherwise we will send troops without a name. ”

The strategist wanted to say more, but Wen Chou just didn't listen and glared at him angrily. The strategist was so shocked that he didn't dare to say much, and let Wen Chou command the army to chase and kill. Wen Chou shook his spirits and let the army continue to pursue, saying that if he could take down the heads of Zhang Yuan, Zhang Pre and Xu Tu, he would ask Yuan Shao to make him a partial general, and if he could capture other deputy generals, he could also be promoted to lead the troops.

When the soldiers heard this, they became more energetic and shouted to kill. When Zhang Zhujun heard the shouting and killing behind him, he fled for his life in a panic, showing a panicked look.

Wen Chou led the army to chase in, this canyon is long and thin, Wen Chou's army of 10,000 people can only walk in a group of three inside, and it looks like a long snake from a distance. Wen Chou is not used to it, and he strives to chase and kill. Seeing that they were about to catch up with Zhang Yu, they saw that they suddenly turned their horses' heads to face him, and they all had a treacherous smile on their faces.

Just in surprise, I suddenly heard a burst of gongs and drums All day long, countless armies appeared above the canyon, all under the banner of Zhang Yuan, I don't know how many people are ambushed in the road. Without waiting for the Wen Chou army to react, they only heard a rumbling sound behind them, only to see the boulders rolling down from the sky, blocking their retreat. Wen Chou was shocked, and then he believed that he had been ambushed, and immediately asked the soldiers to open the stone and wood, but after the soldiers tried, they could not remove them at all.

Seeing the situation, Wen Chou rode forward, wanting to rush out of the canyon, but he heard a burst of thunder and thunder, and the boulders and trees in front of him also came down at the same time, and they were four or five meters high in front, and the people and horses could not jump over at all.

When Wen Chou's army saw it, they were all panicked, and at this moment, they saw Zhang Yuan's army throwing down countless dry firewood and weeds, and the firewood and grass all over the sky fell one after another, piling up a thick layer in the canyon, and creaking when stepping on it.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan appeared on the mountain with a spear in his hand and a long bow on his shoulder, and he said loudly: "Zhang Wenyuan has been waiting here for a long time. General Wen, you don't have any way to retreat now, as long as I give an order, the rocket shoots down, and everyone in the canyon is ablaze, and the soldiers of your three armies will die in this canyon. ”

Wen Chou glared angrily, but he was helpless, he just opened his mouth and scolded, saying that Zhang Yuan did not dare to fight him, so he used this despicable and shameless means. Zhang Yuan ignored it and ordered the soldiers to call and ask the Wenchou soldiers to lay down their weapons and surrender. Otherwise, shoot arrows and set them on fire, leaving them with no bones.

The ugly soldiers looked at each other, and some wanted to lay down their arms, but they didn't dare. Especially the people around Wen Chou, they didn't dare. Seeing this, Wen Chou said loudly: "Our soldiers, who are not greedy for life and afraid of death, how can they be frightened by your despicable and shameless measurements. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "General, this is the life of 10,000 people, and it is also Yuan Shao's elite army, if you die here, the Jizhou Yellow Turban Thief Army will rise again in the future, what will you fight again?" You don't care about the lives of so many people, but I can't bear to kill them. After speaking, Zhang Yuan said to Wen Chou's army that as long as they lay down their weapons, then they could leave here, and they would definitely not shoot any of them.

After listening to Zhang Yuan's words, one of the soldiers in the back really put down his arms and surrendered. Seeing this, Wen Chou was furious, quickly took out his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow, and the soldier fell in response. And almost at the same time, all the soldiers dropped their weapons and chose to surrender.

"Take up arms, no one is allowed to surrender?" Wen Chou shouted loudly.

However, this time, no one listened to his orders, and the strategists beside him said very nervously: "General, surrendering now is our only way out, leaving Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, we have to hold on to our lives first, and then we can take revenge in the future, if we don't obey, as long as one of their soldiers can't help but shoot a rocket, we will all be finished." ”

Wen scandal said, angry is angry, but there is nothing to do, seeing that all the soldiers have laid down their arms and choose to surrender, he glared and asked loudly: "If our army surrenders, you really don't kill a single soldier?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "As long as you throw all your weapons in this canyon, then you can return to Jizhou safely, and I will definitely not kill a single soldier of you." If you still want to go to Liaoxi, then I can only order to shoot them. “

Wen Chou thought for a long time, looked at the army, and finally chose to throw his weapon on the ground and dismount his horse.

Zhang Yuan asked the soldiers to put away their bows and arrows, and let the Wenchou soldiers work together to drop the stones and wood, and then walked out of the canyon, if anyone wanted to pick up the weapons on the ground, then immediately shoot the rocket, and all his companions would pay the price for his impulsiveness. Everyone knows it, and it seems that this is even more for Wen Chou.

In the end, Wen Chou's army all went out of the canyon and, under the leadership of Wen Chou, withdrew to Liaoxi. After they left, Zu Zhao ordered their weapons to be collected and hidden in the mountains, and then the army went to Liaoxi to fight Zu Zhao. Originally, Zhang Yuan received an order to return to Liaodong after repelling Wen Chou, but Xu Tu said that Yan Liang went to Liaoxi from another road, which Zu Zhao did not expect, and the spies did not hear it. Therefore, in order to prevent Zu Zhao from being attacked from inside and outside, Zhang Yuan decided to lead the army to join Zu Zhao and recapture Liaoxi as soon as possible.
