Chapter 169
The loud screams and screams are touching. The sturdy figures of the soldiers of the Gongsun army under the city rose and fell like waves, and their mouths let out a shout that shook the heavens and the earth. This kind of shouting, infecting each other, motivating each other, and dissipating many inexplicable fears in my heart.
Arrows flew wildly in the air, dragging a long rain of arrows through the clear sky like locusts crossing the border, only to see the soldiers falling to the ground with arrows in a steady stream. As soon as the Gongsun soldiers climbed the city wall, they were immediately greeted by several Yuan soldiers with swords, and they were outnumbered.
However, as Gongsun Zhan's army continued to enter the city, the resistance of this small part of Yuan's army was so insignificant.
In the end, the Yuan army that resisted to the death was annihilated, and Gongsun Fan and others counted the grain and grass in Zhongshan and surrendered troops.
Yan Liang left behind an army of 40,000, more than 36,000 surrendered, and there were 500,000 quintals of grain and grass. That's enough for two years of consumption for an army of 100,000. Gongsun Chan can be said to have returned with a full load this time.
The field battle on the other side also had results, and after Yan Liang found out that he had been tricked, he hurriedly led his army back to Zhongshan Kingdom.
When I arrived not far from Zhongshan Kingdom, I found that the city had changed its flag. suppressed the anger in his heart and led the army to break through.
After a bloody battle, Yuan's army is now nowhere to return. Many soldiers were already physically and mentally exhausted, and of the more than 100,000 troops led by Yan Liang, only more than 30,000 people fought Yan Liang out of the encirclement.
Yan Liang stood by the river with a knife. seemed to be giving up on himself, and muttered to himself: "Lord, I'm sorry for you." I think that my Yan Liang has been on the battlefield for half his life, and he actually suffered such a big defeat under the hands of Gongsun Zhan. What kind of face do I have to say goodbye to my fellow villagers in Hebei. ”
After that, if you draw your sword, you will kill yourself.
The guards next to him saw it, and hurriedly went up to stop Yan Liang, saying, "The general can't be like this!" We still expect the general to lead us to take revenge, and ask the general not to take his own life. ”
Yan Liang sighed and said, "I also want to take revenge, but we are now panicking like lost dogs, and we have neither food nor grass, nor basis." To the north is the army of Gongsun Zhan, and to the south is the army of Cao Cao. Now it's really called the heavens and the earth, but how is it good! ”
The guard said: "General, it's really not good, it's better for us to find the princes all the way to take refuge." After all, we still have an army of 30,000 now, and the foreign general has the courage of ten thousand people, no matter where he goes, he will definitely receive good treatment! ”
Yan Liang said: "That's it, I can only listen to you." However, to the north is Gongsun Zhan, the enemy of the old lord. Although I, Yan Liang, was forced to take refuge in one of the princes, I must not forget the kindness of the old lord, and Gongsun Chan will not go! As for, Cao Cao. This person took advantage of the old lord's unpreparedness to steal Jizhou, and now he is still an enemy of the old lord, this person cannot take refuge. The princes in this vicinity, I'm afraid that only General Xue Rengui is left. Let's send an envoy to express our sincerity to General Xue, and send an order to the three armies to rest here and prepare to go east to join General Xue! ”
The guard smiled and said, "Obey!" ”
Yan Liang looked at his happy appearance, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and scolded: "I'm afraid you have already wanted to take refuge in Xue Rengui." That's it, General Xue is also a famous master. Go and herald. ”
The guard smiled and said, "Yes, General." ”
The envoy sent by Yan Liang arrived at Xue Rengui's Qingzhou territory, and hurriedly went to find the local Taishou, who did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly sent someone to deliver a letter to Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui, who got the news, couldn't help but smile. Then he ordered Zhao Yun and Xi Zhicai to lead 50,000 troops to meet Yan Liang, and then incorporated Yan Liang's 30,000 army, and stationed in Jinan to prevent Gongsun Zhan's sudden sneak attack.
With Zhao Yun as the main general, Xi Zhicai as the military advisor, and Yan Liang as the vanguard, this lineup is definitely more than enough to attack Gongsun Zhan, not to mention resisting Gongsun Zhan. However, Xue Rengui is equipped with a little less soldiers and horses, and there is Su Dingfang in charge, if he starts a war rashly, I am afraid that he will not be able to bargain for a while, not to mention that there is a Jia Xu who Xue Rengui does not know has already gone to Su Dingfang.
Gongsun Chan knew that Yan Liang had taken refuge in Xue Rengui, and he didn't dare to make any moves, not to mention that Gongsun Chan had just taken these territories in the north of Jizhou, not to mention that Xue Rengui's forces were also incomparable, Gongsun Chan sent a letter to Xue Rengui very wisely, which was nothing more than saying to Xue Rengui that he hoped that the well water would not interfere with the river water, and the situation in front of him Gongsun Chan was unknown, how Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had not yet come to fruition, and Gongsun Chan also thought that Xue Rengui had just treated the plague and floods in Qingzhou, and lost a lot of grain, grass and population, thinking that Xue Rengui would not send troops easily. Of course, most of the princes of the world also think so.
However, Xue Rengui did not announce how many people he lost in Qingzhou's natural and man-made disasters, not because the losses were too great, but because the casualties were much smaller than those of previous disasters of this scope, and they could not be called nerve-wracking at all, and even had no impact on the overall situation.
However, these are all things that Xue Rengui needs to keep secret, and try not to let other princes know, especially Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao, the three princes, after all, now Xue Rengui is waiting for Jizhou to compete with each other, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman in the back. Therefore, he secretly returned to Qingzhou, and asked all the troops to secretly move back to the junction of Qingzhou and Jizhou at night, waiting for the opportunity.
Yuzhangcheng in the south, Liu Xuan, Xue Li and others are all worried, but on the other hand, Zhang Xutuo, the general with the troops, is calm and calm, as for Shi Wanzai, he listens to Zhang Xutuo's words very much, since Zhang Xutuo is so confident, natural Shi Wanzai is also fearless. This made Liu Miao feel ashamed.
In fact, Zhang Xutuo had already made a plan for Sun Ce from Pang Tong, and sent people to contact the Shanyue people in Jiangdong early to continue to block Sun Ce. Even if Sun Ce sent a lot of generals to deal with Jiangdong's Haoqiang, the sudden rebellion of Shanyue caught Sun Ce off guard.
Pang Tong had no choice but to volunteer to stabilize the situation in Jiangdong first. In Sun Ce's camp, Pang Tong said to Sun Ce: "Lord, this time I miscalculated, I didn't calculate that Zhang Xutuo was brave and strategic, and he also contacted Shanyue in advance, and now the situation in Jiangdong is very complicated, and the generals may not end easily. Please also ask the lord to take every step of the way, and in the next material will not be more than half a month, and the main fair will determine the trouble. Please wait for the return of the lord. Also, please beware of the next night, Zhang Xutuo brought people to rob the camp. Although, we agreed with them to fight a decisive battle in three days, but looking at Zhang Xutuo, he is eclectic in his use of troops, and I am afraid that he is also a commander, so please beware of the lord. ”
However, this is also Sun Ce, Pang Tong dared to say this, Sun Ce is brave and good at fighting, although he is the lord, but he has no frame at all, and even calls his subordinates brothers, however, it is the best choice to be an ally or a brother, but as a prince, there is something missing. However, Pang Tong fell in love with Sun Ce because of this.
Of course, Sun Ce gave up his hand and Pang Tong and said, "Sir, don't worry, I know." Besides, there is no accident that there is my Jiangdong Xiaobawang here, but Mr. Lao is in Jiangdong. ”
Pang Tong said: "To serve the Lord, how to talk about fatigue." ”
When Pang Tong left, although it was a thousand instructions, ten thousand instructions. However, Sun Ce still didn't take Liu Miao and the others in his eyes, after all, it had always been. Everyone's evaluation of Liu Xuan is mediocre and incompetent, and Sun Ce is also extremely conceited, even if Zhang Xutuo and Shi Wansui have some skills, Sun Ce is just a little square-headed, Sun Ce himself just thinks in his heart, to conquer Yuzhang as soon as possible, it is best to annihilate Liu Xuan and Xue Li's forces in one fell swoop before Pang Tong returns.
Therefore, Sun Ce waited for a decisive battle with Liu Xuan three days later, but he was also wary of Zhang Xutuo bringing people to rob the camp.
On the evening of the second day, Sun Ce felt that since Zhang Xutuo had some ability, he was afraid that he would come to rob the camp tonight. So, when it was just dark, he secretly went out of the camp with his soldiers and ambushed him, waiting for Zhang Xutuo to come and rob the camp.
During the third watch, Shi Wansui obeyed Zhang Xutuo's arrangement and led thousands of soldiers to attack Sun Ce's camp.
When Shi Wansui killed in front of Sun Ce's camp, the resistance was really vulnerable, and Shi Wansui couldn't help laughing and said, "Hahaha! It is said that the little overlord of Jiangdong is good at using soldiers, and he has the courage of ten thousand people. Unexpectedly, it is so unbearable, if it is really famous, it is actually difficult to deserve! Soldiers! Kill! ”
Shi Wansui's words used all his strength, and I am afraid that even Yuzhang City can hear his voice. However, Shi Wansui still felt that his voice was a little quieter, as if he was afraid that Sun Ce would not know that he had come to rob the camp.
Shi Wansui rushed into Sun Ce's camp and shouted, "Shi Wansui is here!" You won't be caught yet! Those who descend will not be killed! ”
At this time, Shi Wansui's personal guards came over and said to Shi Wansui: "General, Sun Ce's camp is empty!" ”
Shi Wansui said anxiously: "It's not good, I fell into Sun Ce's ambush!" Evacuate! Evacuate! ”
At this time, Sun Cejun, who was surrounded by a circle outside, Sun Ce rode the current shouting and said: "There is no thief, and he has won a certain plan!" If you don't get off your horse and surrender, when will you wait? ”
However, fortunately, Shi Wansui's thousands of soldiers and horses did not rush in together, and Shi Wansui's personal guards hurriedly asked Shi Wansui and said, "General, how is this good?" ”
Shi Wansui said: "Naturally, you are desperately killing out, soldiers!" Break through with me! At this time, only hard work can have a way out. ”
Sun Ce didn't give it for nothing, he pulled out the sword in his hand, pointed forward, and said, "Release the arrow!" ”
Shi Wansui is strong in martial arts, and in his eyes, these arrows are of course not worth mentioning, and he holds the arrow feather in his hand while killing outward.
