Volume 1: Chapter 1036 of the Late Han Dynasty Liu Xiedong returns

Next chapter

A wave of attacks has wiped out most of the soldiers who escorted the grain and grass on the ship, and some of the remaining Zhang Ji soldiers jumped into the water in a panic, and some simply hugged their heads and lay in the cabin, giving up resistance directly.

Either way, it was not a good way out for Zhang Ji's soldiers at this time, and ninety percent of what awaited them was the fate of death, just the difference between being drowned or killed.

Yang Rui seized the opportunity, and it can be said that it didn't take much effort to grab more than 50 boats of grain from Zhang Ji's army, and the preliminary estimate was no less than three or four hundred thousand catties, which was not a small number for Yang Rui, who was not well supplied at present.

And Zhang Ji's army has not only so much grain and grass, but after Yang Rui's army launched a surprise attack and even hijacked the grain boat, Zhang Ji's soldiers on both sides of the river became vigilant, and it was impossible to transfer grain and grass for a while, and there were no more ships for transshipment.

In fact, if Yang Rui was willing to break some damage, he could still snatch the remaining large amount of grain on the east bank of the river, and at this time, the number of soldiers and soldiers left behind by Zhang Ji's army on the east bank of the river was only one or two hundred thousand.

However, whether it is landing or land warfare, it is not the best at the scale armor and water soldiers, and it is inevitable that there will be some losses.

At this time, although the grain and grass in Yang Rui's hands are still not abundant, it is enough to be used for a while, some grain and grass are just some grains and grasses, and in Yang Rui's eyes, their value is far from the life of the scaly armor water pawn.

"Dare to ask you, but you are the Qingzhou Water Army? The head of my family will ask you and other leaders to come forward and answer......"

Another factor is that Zhang Ji sent personnel to contact him almost immediately, and the words revealed a willingness to contact.

At the same time, I don't know how the other party judged, but he actually said the true identity of Yang Rui's Qingzhou soldiers and horses.

"A certain is the general of the Qingzhou Navy Donglai Tai Shi Ci, the word is righteous, dare to ask what you have to say?"

After completely controlling the more than 50 boats of grain intercepted, Yang Rui asked Tai Shici to come forward to answer Zhang Ji's envoy, but did not step forward in person.

Although Tai Shi Ci's words were polite, he did not mention the matter of robbing the other party's grain at all.

"I've heard of the name for a long time, but it turns out that it's really Donglai Taishi Ziyi! I am Zhang Ji's general Zhang Xiu, and how about inviting Ziyi to go ashore for a while? ”

The person who came turned out to be Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu, but because he was not wearing a military uniform, but changed into a Confucian suit, and at the same time was far away, Tai Shici, who had fought with him, did not recognize Zhang Xiu's identity.

Until Zhang Xiu reported to his home, Tai Shici did not connect the people on the boat in the distance with the people who fought in Tongguan, if it weren't for Yang Rui having mentioned Zhang Xiu's name, Tai Shici might have always thought that Zhang Xiu in front of him was just a literati.

When Zhang Xiu said his name, Yang Rui, who was on the ship in the rear, also noticed it for the first time, and immediately secretly calculated it, weighing how likely it was that Zhang Xiu could be captured directly.

Zhang Xiu's skills are extraordinary, if it weren't for the heavy weapons on the three ships, even if Yang Rui's side has a lot of advantages in terms of ships, it shouldn't be difficult to escape with Zhang Xiu's skills.

Yang Rui coveted Zhang Xiu in his heart of talent, so he naturally would not kill or injure the other party lightly, and at this time, Zhang Xiu was also the identity of a messenger, whether it was captured or killed, it was very unruly.

Therefore, if Yang Rui forcibly grabbed Zhang Xiu, he was almost unsure, and once he failed, it would be a matter that would damage the rules of the battlefield, and it would not be beneficial to Yang Rui's prestige.

"General Zhang has a good intention, but at this time, Ci has important things to do, and it is inconvenient to stay here for a long time, so I will leave......"

Tai Shici felt that it was impossible to negotiate with the other party, and saw Yang Rui shaking his head slightly through the eyes of his eyes, so he refused Zhang Xiu's invitation.

"In this way, it is a pity, I advocate that Master Ji does have important matters to discuss, and General Tai Shici still hopes to consider one or two ......"

Zhang Xiu's boat did not continue to approach, but he still said with some reluctance.

"There is indeed something important to do, and there is no delay. General Zhang Xiu cherished it and took his leave. ”

However, Tai Shici didn't say much, and under Yang Rui's instructions, he turned the bow of the ship, and commanded the naval ships to escort the newly seized grain and grass down the river.

In fact, after determining that Zhang Ji's army crossed the Pubanjin Ferry, Yang Rui had already had a rough idea of the intention of Zhang Ji's army, which was nothing more than to take advantage of Feng Yijun on the north side of the Yellow River to go to Chang'an City when the Tongguan checkpoint was impassable.

The purpose of Zhang Ji's army going to Chang'an City is very clear, it is nothing more than to rescue the little emperor Liu Xie and his ministers, and finally achieve the plot of Liu Xie's return to the eastern capital Luoyang, in this case, Yang Rui has decided not to continue to interfere with Zhang Ji's army.

Yang Rui can't speculate for the time being that if Zhang Ji's mission cannot be completed, how the regional series of plots he participated in will eventually go, but Yang Rui certainly wants to see a clear trend.

Now that Yang Rui has made up his mind not to interfere too much with the direction of the plot, after he snatched part of the grain and grass of Zhang Ji's army, he commanded most of the naval troops to return to the vicinity of the Tongguan checkpoint.

Of course, although Yang Rui did not intend to attack Zhang Ji's army again, all the large and small exploration ships have always been cruising up and down the Yellow River under Yang Rui's orders, and together with the larger tributaries of the Yellow River, Yang Rui's exploration boats can often be seen.

As Yang Rui expected, about seven or eight game days passed, and Zhang Ji's army almost crossed the southern part of Feng Yi County, and finally reached the vicinity of Chang'an City.

During this period, Zhang Ji's army never stopped attacking along the way, and along the route of its path, several cities controlled by Li Dao and Guo Yan's forces were taken by him, and some shortages of grain and grass due to being hijacked by Yang Rui were also replenished.

"System announcement: Li Dao and Guo Yan were tired of the war, Zhang Ji's army rushed to Chang'an City, so that Li Dao and Guo Yan Yinu reached a reconciliation, and the Han Emperor Liu Xie listened to the persuasion of Zhang Ji and others and decided to return the capital to Luoyang.

The regional series of plots has entered the second stage, and Liu Xiedong returns to ......"

"System Announcement: Liu Xiedong's return to the east of the regional series of plots begins, and the window for players and NPC forces to participate is open again, and players and NPC forces who have already participated in the plot can choose to withdraw, or increase or decrease troops and obtain supplies through the plot window......"

Just as Yang Rui took advantage of the fact that Zhang Ji's army went west and the forces east of Tongguan were empty and captured several cities, two system announcements came, and the regional series of plots entered the second stage. (To be continued.) )
