Chapter 44, the bankrupt local tyrant Zhang
Gwangjong, West City Gate.
The moon hangs high and the night is quiet.
At this moment, a tight cry sounded, accompanied by shouts of killing that resounded through the sky.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack ......"
On the city wall, countless Yellow Turban soldiers were awakened from their sleep, instinctively picked up the bows and crossbows and spears beside them, and at the same time rubbed their eyelids vigorously to quickly put themselves into a state of consciousness.
Five hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps......
Just as the besieging army was about to enter the range of their crossbows, they stopped in unison, as if they had been trained in advance, and then the rear army turned into the front army and retreated like a tide.
On the tower of the city, when the Yellow Turban soldiers saw this situation, they all looked at me and I looked at you, all of them were confused.
The attack and defense of the enemy and our enemies have lasted for more than half a month, and this is the first time we have seen this kind of situation of rushing halfway and then retreating.
With doubts in their hearts, the soldiers put down their weapons one after another and continued to lean against the city and fall asleep.
Everyone is tired.
However, less than half an hour passed.
"Kill ......"
The drums of war and the shouts of killing sounded again, and the soldiers who had just fallen asleep were once again awakened and watched the enemy soldiers with full attention.
"It's not going to be a joke again, is it?" One of the soldiers couldn't help but say, and his comrades around him looked at him.
I guessed it, but unfortunately I didn't get a reward.
"What kind of tricks are the officers and soldiers playing?" A strong-tempered man said angrily that he would rather fight directly than this kind of teasing from time to time.
But the initiative is not in them, Zhang Liang repeatedly and strictly stated that no one is allowed to fight, and those who violate the order will be beheaded.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Liang appeared at the head of the city, he heard the movement of the official army suddenly attacking the city in the middle of the night, but it quickly subsided, so he came to inspect it.
With deep tiredness in his eyes, a little confusion in his heart, and his face full of vicissitudes, this is his state at the moment, physically and mentally exhausted.
The eldest brother and the second brother died in battle one after another, leaving him alone. There is only one thought left in my heart, I will fight to the death, and even if I lose, I will disturb the court and make it difficult for the court to live.
"General Yurengong, the officers and soldiers suddenly took advantage of the night twice, but they retreated before they got close."
"Is there such a thing?"
Zhang Liang pondered for a moment: "Be vigilant, this may be a feint strategy of the official army, and they may suddenly launch a strong attack next." ”
"The last general obeys!"
——
At dawn, Sun Jian returned to the camp with his troops and horses, and it was his subordinates who were responsible for the attack last night.
Everyone has a tired look on their faces, and feints are also a lot of hard work, the only difference is that you don't need to really work hard.
Guo Jia and Liu Bei also happened to lead the army back to the camp, and the two sides met unexpectedly.
The two sides were in a cooperative relationship, Sun Jian's department was responsible for the feint attack, and Liu Bei led the army to respond, strictly preventing the Yellow Turban Army from killing out of the city when Sun Jian withdrew his army.
"The military advisor's strategy has also been damaged, this has been a troublesome night, and the yellow turban thieves in the city today are afraid that they won't be able to open their eyes." Zhang Fei saw the listless appearance of the soldiers under Sun Jian's command, and couldn't help but complain about the insidiousness of Guo Jia's strategy.
They don't care if they're tired, but at least they can come back and get some sleep.
The enemy forces in the city did not, and they did not realize this strategy, and most of them did not start to change their defenses in turn.
If he were the one who defended the city, I am afraid he would be so angry that he would have killed him.
"Is Yide calling me treacherous?"
"No, no, I'm praising the military division."
Zhang Fei hurriedly waved his hand and retreated again and again.
As fierce as him, he is not even afraid of the king of beasts in the mountains, but he is afraid of the powerless scholar in front of him.
The other party's gaze looked ill-intentioned, and Zhang Fei couldn't help but be frightened, for fear that his other half of the family property would be remembered again.
Guo Jia suddenly looked at Liu Bei and asked, "Lord, how much money and food is left in our army?" ”
Liu Bei thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid there is not much left." ”
Although they received a sum of money from Kong Rong, and later received a large amount of money after he succeeded in recruiting Mi Zhu, the treasury was nearly depleted after the army was expanded by 2,000, and the purchase of a pair of ordnance and the distribution of soldiers' salaries.
Guo Jia's face changed slightly: "This is difficult." ”
"Why?" Liu Bei was puzzled.
Guo Jia sighed: "As far as I know, the angels of the imperial court are about to come to the army in the past few days, if we can't make up a sum of money in time, I am afraid that many of our plans will be in vain." ”
Liu Bei just wanted to say: Didn't you say before that you would wait until the Yellow Turban Rebellion was over before you personally went to Beijing to operate this matter?
Because of this plan, he agreed with Mi Zhu that the next batch of grants would not arrive until a month later.
But he immediately found that Guo Jia was eyeing him, and then he understood that the other party was going to make a whole of his third brother.
Am I cooperating? Or tie in!
Liu Bei's face changed instantly, revealing a dejected expression.
"Destiny is not in me, what can I do?"
After speaking, he dragged his weak body towards the camp.
Guo Jia secretly admired that Uncle Liu Huang had never disappointed him in this regard.
"Big brother, don't worry, I still have a family asset, which is enough to buy the angel." Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke.
The love between the three of them is as deep as the sea, and it can not be compared to such mundane things as money.
The only regret is that he has changed from a powerful party to a commoner.
Broke!
Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "How can I ask for Yide's family assets again, this will never work." ”
"Big brother, this is looking down on me Zhang Yide!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"The love between you and my three brothers is as deep as the sea, how can it be measured by money."
"I ......"
Liu Bei was speechless for a while, his heart was full of emotion, there are brothers like this, why worry about the great cause?
Guan Yu nodded in agreement, and said with a straight face: "Big brother, don't shirk anymore, if we can make contributions in the future, the third brother will naturally be able to earn family money." ”
"If you can't, I'm afraid you won't need the money."
Zhang Fei nodded and strode towards Guo Jia.
"Strategist, come with me."
"Have you figured it out?"
"It's just a mundane thing, why be nostalgic."
So the two of them left one after the other.
Liu Bei is messy in the wind, didn't he say that he was just acting in a scene?
It's really !!
……
Half an hour later, in Zhang Fei's tent, Guo Jia looked at a large box full of gold, and his heart was full of emotion.
"Is this how Wingd always carries it with him?"
"Except for the ancestral house, the rest of my family assets have been sold."
Zhang Fei waved his hand after speaking, and said in a muffled voice: "Hurry up and take it away, I look at this thing." ”
Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, the three Taoyuan brothers really had a deep affection.
Guan Yun passed five levels and cut six generals.
Zhang Yide sold his property and swore to die.
How many people have this kind of courage and friendship?
Guo Jia's original intention of teasing disappeared in an instant, he clasped his hands into fists, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Jiahui proves that Yide's choice is right, and the future will be a blessing, and the Zhang family will be prominent for a while." ”
"Someone, carry the box."
"Whoa!"
After a moment, Zhang Fei watched the box disappear from sight in a daze, and muttered.
"It's okay if it's gone, you don't have to get up in the middle of the night to look at it from time to time, you won't be shaken by your eyes, you won't be ......"
He simply lay down on the bed, sleeping to hide his empty mood.
