Chapter 12: The Real Man
The situation was quite obvious, Yuan Shu's army was defeated like a mountain, and he was out of control, although he organized several counterattacks, it was easily defused by Zhang Lang. In the end, under the protection of Ji Ling and Sun Ce, Yuan Shu retreated to Shouchun with difficulty, but at this time, the remnants were only thousands, and there were only a few generals. plus the old and weak generals of Shouchun, the total is only 30,000. And Zhang Lang still did not disturb, and drove his troops all the way to Huainan.
Zhang Lang passed, the county looked at the wind and fell, and no one dared to take its edge. All the way is like a bamboo, and the prestige is far and wide.
Zhang Lang took the troops as the vanguard, and 30,000 soldiers and horses as the main force, and began to chase and kill from Xuyi, and finally surrounded Shouchun.
Cheng Yu said that the so-called army is plotting, and the army is attacking the city. Attack the city for the bottom, attack the heart for the top. First of all, the troops were not in a hurry to attack the city, but to make a long-term siege posture, and then fight psychological warfare, because Yuan Shu did a lot of evil in Huainan, and the people were dissatisfied, as long as there were more rumors, there would be a rebellion for a long time.
Zhang Lang followed Cheng Yu's plan, and every night at night, he began to send people to beat drums at the south gate, set fire to the north gate, and shout to kill at the east gate, leaving only one waterway at the west gate. It is necessary to suppress the other party psychologically, and surrender the army without a fight. Sure enough, after a few days of worrying and fearing, some timid people began to flee from the waterways one after another. Yuan Shu, who was also frightened, was frightened, and couldn't sleep night after night, looking forward to the reinforcements coming.
Zhang Lang sent people to Shouchun to check the terrain everywhere, and at the same time sent the Black Eagle Guard to sneak into the city at a good time and spread the news that those who got Yuan Shu's head were five hundred gold, those who surrendered were dealt with leniently, and it was rumored that Liu Biao's soldiers were pressed into the territory.
Liu Miao knew that Zhang Lang led his troops to Huainan, and sent the general Zhang Ying to lead 30,000 troops to attack Guangling, and he led 50,000 troops to attack Xuyi, in order to expand the map.
It's just that people are not as good as heaven, where is Zhang Ying, who attacked Guangling, Zhang Liao's opponent, the soldiers and horses just arrived in Jiangdu, and the foothold was not stable, so they robbed Zhang Liao and frustrated his spirit. The second said that Zhang Ying came angrily, but he didn't want to be hit by the buried soldiers halfway, and the loss was not small. Next, 30,000 troops were defeated by Zhang Liao again and again, and countless soldiers and horses were broken, and once they almost lost their lives.
Afterwards, Zhang Liao ambushed fifty knife and axe men at the celebration banquet, and after three rounds of drinking, he suddenly killed Zhen Rong and Xue Li, and the two of them had not yet reacted to what was going on, and their heads had fallen to the ground. Then he led the troops to quickly kill and sentence the party, and announced to Guangling, Zhang Liao's move was very happy, especially the Zhao family who learned the news later, and they were even more desperate for Zhang Lang's use.
Then Liu Miao led a large army to attack Xuyi, but he was unable to win in recent months. It turned out that Xu Shu was designed to defend it, and Liu Miao was helpless.
At this time, Qiao Rui, Li Feng led 40,000 soldiers and horses to Tunyang City to surrender Xu Shu. They saw that Yuan Shu was defeated and left, and received Xuzhou to surrender, and after thinking about it, they both felt that Yuan Shu's general trend had gone, and Zhang Lang was young and promising, and he must have a career, so he led the remnants of 40,000 to surrender Zhang Lang. Because Liu Miao besieged Xuyi, he was not allowed to enter the city, and the two led the remnants of 40,000 soldiers and horses to show their sincerity, and rushed to kill Liu Miao from the side. As a result, Liu Miao was defeated and left.
Afterwards, Xu Shu personally comforted the general Li Feng and others, which made the two grateful.
Zhang Lang's troops surrounded Shouchun City for half a month, and only let the soldiers beat drums and shout in unison, and let the archers shoot into the surrender letter, which lured the hearts of Yuan's soldiers.
Finally, the rumor that Liu Biao sent troops became a reality, Tian Feng said that Liu Biao moved, and the two families formed an alliance, taking advantage of Zhang Lang's army to besiege Shouchun, Liu Biao sent Cai Mao to lead 50,000 troops, sent troops to Runan, and suppressed Yuan Shu's border army and did not return to help.
At this point, there are no reinforcements outside Shouchun, and there is no fighting spirit inside, everyone knows that the general trend has gone, and Yuan Shu's defeat has been decided. Wang Dong of Shouchun had a very close relationship with the general Chen Ji, and saw that Yuan Shu was ready to abandon Shouchun, so he and some soldiers guarded the city, completely ignoring the life and death of his soldiers. Disheartened, he sent his cronies out of the city in the dark that night, wrote to Zhang Lang, and took the lights of the third watch as the number, and his own subordinates cut the door and locked it, welcoming the Xuzhou army into the city.
Zhang Lang was overjoyed and ordered the officers and men of the three armies to have a full meal and prepare to capture the city.
In the first year of Xingping, at the beginning of 194 AD, with the help of Wang Dong in Neiying, Zhang Lang of Xuzhou led a large army into Shouchun, and did not commit any offense against the people. The morale of the army in Shouchun has long been to the bottom, and no one has the heart to fight. Zhang Lang led the troops into Yuan Shu's mansion without hindrance.
When Yuan Shu learned that someone had rebelled, his face turned pale with fright, and he regretted not listening to General Yang's words and failed to leave Shouchun as soon as possible. Hurriedly packed up with some cronies and prepared to escape. Just went out to the lobby, suddenly saw Xuzhou soldiers breaking in, all of them looked at themselves murderously, Yuan Shu's mind was blank in an instant, his legs were weak, and he almost knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, without a trace of heroism, fortunately Ji Ling and Sun Ce on the side supported him, so he didn't lose face. Zhang Lang was indifferent to him with a pleading face, his palms were not soft at all, Yuan Shu did a lot of evil, cruel and unkind, and it was not a pity to die.
He didn't speak, he rushed forward first, and rushed straight to Yuan Shu like a wolf.
The generals also rushed forward afterwards, attacking Ji Lingsun Ce, who had broken the axe and sinking the boat, and several of their henchmen.
Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Zhao Yu and several other first-class masters joined the battle, and the soldiers were surrounded by three layers in the inner and outer three layers around Yuan Shu and his men, and it was difficult to fly. It only took a while to control Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang and others.
And Zhang Lang rushed to Yuan Shu unhindered, and faintly smelled a smell of urine. Then he saw that Yuan Shu's legs were trembling, and there were some water marks in the place where he was standing, and he couldn't help but lose his shirt.
Zhang Lang was disgusted with the meat ball in front of him, he came from a society that focused on groups in the 21st century, and he especially worshiped heroes, not to mention that since he came to this ancient Three Kingdoms era, he witnessed it, and gradually became infected with heroism.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed the gorgeous robe, what an early ranger, what was proficient in martial arts, all of them were farts, not a deflated three, Zhang Lang looked at Yuan Shu who was trembling all over his body with cold eyes, and did not say a word.
Ji Ling is dodging left and right under Zhao Yu's plum blossom gun, this martial art is not as good as Zhao Yu, plus he is worried about Yuan Shu's safety, and he has no backhand power to be killed. At this time, seeing that Zhang Lang was very easy to catch Yuan Shu, his heart was anxious and angry, his thick eyebrows were upside down, his green muscles swelled, and he said sharply: "Zhang Lang Xiaoer, don't hurt my master." In the middle of drinking, I don't know where the strength came from, I just swung Zhao Yu's plum blossom gun and rushed over to Zhang Lang.
The Black Eagle Guard rushed up and tightly hugged Ji Ling, preventing him from leaning into Zhang Lang.
Ji Ling continued to shout, his momentum was like a rainbow, and he used a three-pointed two-edged knife to cut down several people one after another, and he was extremely fierce.
This made Zhao Yu angry, his pretty eyes widened, and his eyebrows were crescent scimitar, like a jade-faced rakshasa. Fang Xin secretly thought about her aunt's debut so far, how can you be so arrogant, the plum blossom gun "snapped" and counted for a long time, like a snake out of the hole, followed closely, and entangled Ji Ling.
Ji Ling fought to the death, but he was not very good at foot combat, and the small hall was crowded with Xuzhou soldiers, plus Zhao Yu's martial arts, and she was soon knocked to the ground by her, and the soldiers rushed up to catch him.
Zhao Yu clapped his little hands, put away the gun and stood up, and his movement and stillness showed a charming demeanor. The face is happy, the red and simple are cute and moving, the delicate face is even more proud, and the big black eyes squint at Zhang Lang, as if trying to tell about their own history, just like a child like an adult inviting credit.
Zhang Lang smiled and glanced at each other, his left eye blinked slightly, and the corners of his mouth had a slightly provocative expression, which made Zhao Yufang's heart jump twice again, and he didn't overturn it.
Zhang Lang smiled secretly in his heart, he didn't have time to tease Zhao Yu, he looked at Sun Ce, who was fighting as a beast, and saw that he was extremely brave, and Tai Shi Ci's double short halberd strength could not gain the upper hand. Especially when a person is facing the crisis of death, his potential will be stimulated tenfold and hundredfold, and Sun Ce is the proof.
Zhang Lang lifted his hand vigorously, and Yuan Shu's fat body of more than 100 catties suddenly lifted his legs off the ground, and he screamed in fright, dancing with his hands and feet.
Zhang Lang looked at the last pair of fights in the field while carrying Yuan Shu, and said with a relaxed face: "Sun Ce, do you still want to fight?" ”
Sun Ce blocked Tai Shici's lightning halberd, and took a cursory look at the situation, not to mention the dense Xuzhou soldiers on the side, coupled with Yuan Shu's frightened expression, his loyal subordinates were captured again, knowing that the general trend had gone, and he was powerless to return to the sky, Junlang's face showed despair for the first time, green and white for a while, and finally gritted his teeth fiercely, threw his gun to the ground, and felt like a hero was at the end of the road. Lang Xing's eyes swept over Yuan Shu with hatred, and the light like a sword slashed through the depths of Yuan Shu's heart.
Sun Ce's face was numb and he was tied up by the soldiers, and the red tasseled helmet was in the hands and legs of the soldiers, "Dang." When "landed."
A smug smile appeared on Zhang Lang's face, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. His eyes turned around on Sun Ce, and after feeling quite satisfied, his eyes returned to Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu was frightened, and when he saw Zhang Lang's demonic smiling face and his eyes dilated, he begged for mercy again and again.
Zhang Lang threw him on the ground with disdain, coldly said from between his teeth that Yuan Shu fainted on the spot, and said, "Push it out and behead it to show the public, and hang it in the city for three days." ”
Eight eagle guards came up, and their hands and feet were very sharp and pulled Yuan Shu, who had already fainted to the ground, out like a dead dog. Ji Ling saw that Yuan Shu was about to be executed, this rough Shandong man, his body struggled strongly, and several eagle guards were almost unable to match his strength.
shouted loudly: "Zhang Lang Xiaoer, don't hurt my master." There was endless helplessness, anger and hoarseness in his voice.
Only the sound of burning torches and Ji Ling's angry scolding tearing through the night sky could be heard in the lobby. The soldiers were silent, looking at the rough man with some sympathy.
Yuan Shu let out a few earth-shattering screams in the distance, and then calmed down.
At the same time, Ji Ling also suddenly stopped screaming at the end of the break, his face was strange, and his angry eyes suddenly changed from the beginning to like a corpse, dull, like a person without a soul. just stared at Zhang Lang coldly, and said with numbness and devastating in his voice: "Ji Ling is the person of the lord, and he is also the ghost of the lord when he dies, and he is willing to die and will never surrender." ”
One sentence blocked Zhang Lang's intention to surrender, leaving him with nothing to say.
Although there was a faint sense of cherishing in his heart, he saw Ji Ling's resolute face, such as the spirit of this bushido, knowing that the ancient heroes were the most important names, and admired this Shandong man very much in his heart, and his eyes flashed with admiration, but it was a pity that Ji Ling had followed Yuan Shu for many years, and his hands were stained with too much blood, and he sacrificed himself for righteousness, even if he died, he did not want to break his "loyalty" festival.
Zhang Lang's sharp eyes and Ji Ling looked at each other for a while, and he couldn't see Sihao's fear and retreat from his eyes, and suddenly pulled out the eagle guard knife next to him, threw it on the ground, and then turned around in his heart with a complicated head.
Ji Ling immediately broke away from the eagle guard, picked up the matching knife, and gently stroked the sharp blade with a thick calloused palm, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his resolute eyes. It seems to think of the feeling of being on the battlefield again, Jin Ge Iron Horse.
Ji Ling's eyes flashed with excitement at the same time, and then finally dimmed, and muttered hoarsely: "Knife, knife, you will eventually kill people, but have you ever thought that you were broken by others." ”
frowned, as if he had made up his mind, and at the same time raised his arms and shouted, "Lord, Ji Ling is here." After speaking, he drew his knife and killed himself, blood splashed everywhere, Ji Ling calmly took justice, and his eyes widened angrily when he fell to the ground, as if he was unwilling and seemed to hope for something.
Zhang Lang couldn't bear it in his heart, and felt a pity, but the matter had come to this point, and he respected him as a good man, and then ordered the soldiers to be buried properly.
Whether it was Zhao Yun or Tai Shici and other soldiers, their faces were full of regret, how loyal they were to a subordinate, but it was a pity that they chose the wrong master.
After dealing with Ji Ling's affairs, it was the turn of Sun Ce and his generals.
Sitting high in the lobby, looking at Sun Ce like an arrogant eagle, he didn't kneel, his heart was very complicated, Sun Ce was as loyal and righteous as his father, and it was very difficult to recruit him to surrender, even if he surrendered, I believe he would not be willing to be under his own side, and he would rebel for a long time. If you don't surrender, will you kill him? Zhang Lang's head was big, it would be good if Tian Feng was here, he knew what he wanted. I'll help myself come up with a good solution, but, hey.
The lobby was very quiet, everyone was waiting for Zhang Lang to speak, and countless eyes were focused on his face.
Zhang Lang coughed lightly, frowned, and said mechanically: "Sun Ce, are you willing to surrender?" ”
Sun Ce sneered twice, his handsome face was long, his eyes looked at the sky, and he said without thinking: "What joy is the life of the eldest husband, and what is the fear of death." I only hate me Sun Ce for being at the wrong time, and he actually did things for such an incompetent person as Yuan Shu, it is really a death for me. ”
The expression and language are quite magnificent.
Zhang Lang just can't see such heroism, the so-called sympathy is this taste.
I couldn't bear to say in my heart: "Yuan Shu is not the master, and you will lose your pen if you vote for him, if you are ......"
Before he finished speaking, Sun Ce snorted coldly, and interrupted categorically: "Don't think about Sun Ce surrendering, how can people stand in the world without loyalty, the so-called loyal ministers do not matter to the two masters, and the reputation of the first generation is ruined for the sake of survival, which is not done by the eldest husband." ”
Zhang Lang sighed again in his heart, and said a little unwillingly: "Do you really want me to kill you?" ”
Sun Ce looked up to the sky and smiled, his voice revealed a trace of helplessness and sadness, coupled with some scattered black hair, like a tiger falling into Pingyang. said lightly: "It doesn't matter if you cut off your head, it's a big deal to have a bowl-sized scar on your neck, twenty years later, Sun Ce will still be a hero, and then he will definitely compete with you again for hegemony and a showdown." ”
Zhang Lang's heart was strongly shocked, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, this is a real man, and a man who can only be seen in books and TV. got rid of the utilitarian society before me, and I felt more that it was an era of flesh and blood, affection and righteousness in ancient times.
Zhang Lang was very hesitant and complicated.
