Chapter 136: Zhang Ji's success and failure
Liu Dai's delay made the pursuers behind quickly shorten the distance.
"Father-in-law, go first, I'll stop the pursuers!" Without waiting for Liu Dai to speak, Lu Bu took the lead in speaking.
"Okay, I'm careful, I'll wait for you outside the city!" Liu Dai shouted happily, "Drive!" ”
Wang Kuang said with some taste: "Look at your filial son, I suddenly want to accept one." ”
"Hurry up, you nonsense will wait for us to escape, and it's not too late to say more." Liu Dai rode his horse and rushed directly towards the wide open city gate.
The gates of the city were opened, and it was clear that the place had been occupied by enemy troops.
But he can't do that much now.
Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy army has not heard of it, and the sky is dark, there may still be a glimmer of life.
If you wait any longer, you will surely have no way out.
Zhang Ji chased after the big fish that he had been staring at for a long time, and he was about to catch up.
Suddenly, a roadblock rushed out of the spur, blocking the way.
He stared at Lu Bu with an unkind gaze, and laughed fiercely, "Who am I, it turned out to be you, a traitor who killed his father and deceived the king, ran away from Liu Dai, and it was the same if he killed you!" ”
Lu Bu also recognized Zhang Ji, "It turned out to be you, and if you want to take my head, it depends on whether you have that ability." ”
"Talk before you fight!" Zhang Ji was like an arrow off the string, riding his horse and rushing out,
The two of them are in the alleyway surrounded by houses, and you come and go in an instant, dozens of rounds.
Lu Bu lost the upper hand.
In normal times, he would never be a problem.
But today is not Zhang Ji's opponent, he first single-handedly carried the repeated attacks of Zhang Liao and Duan Xuan.
The old wounds on his body were added before they healed.
At this moment, Zhang Ji, who was already fighting fiercely and was completely desperate to fight, was powerless.
The injury on his arm made it a little difficult for him to even hold the weapon in his hand.
Seeing an opportunity, Lu Bu forced Zhang Ji back with a halberd, and retreated after beating the horse.
"Hell, you're still running! Leave your head to the labor. Zhang Jize chased after him.
Lu Bu whipped the horse's back several times, and his speed was almost out of the limit.
The two of them rushed out of the city gate one after the other.
Lu Bu originally thought that after rushing out of the city, Zhang Ji should not chase anymore, but he didn't expect that he would chase more happily.
Like a vicious dog that has been robbed of food, it bites him to the death.
But Lu Bu didn't know what Zhang Ji was thinking at this moment.
This time, he was a grain transport officer, but he left his post without permission and touched the path into Nanwuyang.
He entered the city one day earlier than Xiahoudu.
Originally, he was preparing to burn Liu Dai's grain and grass when the army was attacking the city.
As a result, he accidentally saw Xiahoudun in the city.
Before he could figure out how to meet Xiahoudun in private, the war broke out.
Then he watched Xiahoudun open the city gate, let Xiahou Yuan enter the city, and controlled the city gates on all sides in a short time.
As soon as the gates opened, the victory was almost a real one.
Zhang Ji thought that since the grain and grass had become his own, he definitely couldn't burn it.
But he didn't burn grain and grass, he left his post without permission this time, that is a big crime, and he has no merit.
So, his cat began to wait for the rabbit in the city.
Whether it is Liu Dai, Bao Xin, or Wang Kuang, as long as he catches one, he can give an account to the emperor.
At least not to lose your head.
But seeing that those two great credits were about to arrive, he actually killed another Lu Bu.
This almost didn't make Zhang Ji angry.
He didn't even notice that Lu Bu was in Nanwuyang, but this guy came out of nowhere.
let Liu Dai and Wang Kuang go, how could Zhang Ji let Lu Bu run away?
The two of them were in the dark mountains, and they chased them out for dozens of miles.
Unexpectedly, he caught up with Liu Dai and Wang Kuang, who ran out first.
In this dark night, the war horses could only run along the spacious official road, and they could not walk in the mountains at all.
"Run!" In the distance, Lu Bu saw more than a dozen fires, and after guessing that it should be Liu Dai and others, he immediately shouted at the top of his voice, and now the strength in his body was almost tossed away, and he was not Zhang Ji's opponent at all, so he could only let everyone hurry up and run.
Zhang Ji is a madman!
After running out of the city for a distance, Liu Dai and Wang Kuang, who thought that they should be out of danger, deliberately slowed down and waited for Lu Bu while resting.
"I just heard someone shouting something?" Wang Kuang said.
Liu Dai turned his head and looked at it, and said, "There are a few scattered fires in the back, it should be Lu Bu catching up, let's wait a little." Maybe there will be imperial court soldiers and horses on the road ahead, and it will be more reassuring to have Lu Bu here. ”
"Good!"
Lu Bu quickly rode his horse to catch up, and looked at Liu Dai and Wang Kuang to order someone to unsaddle their horses and rest by the roadside.
"Run, you two, what are you still sitting here? Zhang Ji caught up! Lu Bu hurriedly shouted.
"Zhang Ji?!" When Liu Dai heard Zhang Ji's name, he didn't say a word, and hurriedly turned over and got on the horse, and the saddle was gone.
Although Wang Kuang had never faced Zhang Ji, seeing Lu Bu's panicked look, he didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly got on the horse.
In just this moment, Zhang Ji caught up.
A spear took the lives of two soldiers with a wave of his hand, "It turns out that they are still here, it really makes me chase after it, a group of gutsless men, who have ambitions to do rebellious things, but they don't dare to fight with a certain head-on, I'm bah!" ”
"Let's go!" Lu Bu shouted.
Lu Bu, whose right arm was trembling violently because of the pain, and Lu Bu, who was unable to lift the halberd, dared to fight Zhang Ji again, and left with his horse. Liu Dai and Wang Kuang followed closely behind, running the fastest speed in their lives.
As for the guards who came with them, they didn't have the strength to take care of them.
They now hope that those soldiers can help them survive for a while in the chaos.
"Shoot the arrows!" While fighting with those soldiers, Zhang Ji shouted at the guards who had just caught up.
In order to facilitate his entry into Nanwuyang City, he brought a total of ten elite guards this time, and none of them were brought with him.
There are too many people, and the city can't get in at all.
The soldiers did not dare to take a breath, and hurriedly lifted the crossbow arrows from the saddle and shot them.
The rest of the arrows all missed, except for Wang Kuang, who ran at the back, who ate an arrow.
But not on him, but on the legs of the war horse.
The war horse was in pain, and his hind legs were violently destrengthened, and he rolled on the side of the road.
Wang Kuang climbed up from the ground with difficulty, and hurriedly called for help to Liu Dai and Lu Bu.
Liu Dai gave Lu Bu a quick look and signaled him to leave it alone.
But Lu Bu looked at the rolling ravines below, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, and shouted: "Quick, abandon the horse, let's go into the mountain." ”
Liu Dai was still hesitating, but Lu Bu had already turned over and dismounted, threw away the halberd and only took the sword and drilled into the dense forest.
Liu Dai, who knew that he would not be able to run far without Lu Bu's protection, did not dare to hesitate any longer, and hurriedly followed.
By the time Zhang Ji cleaned up those soldiers who were in the way, and then went to pursue Lu Bu and Liu Dai, it was already too late.
He looked at the jungle that it was difficult for the war horse to pass through, and the man was immediately stupid.
"It's over, I really can't go back this time."
After the angry Zhang Jiqi knocked down a tree with two shots, he unwillingly went into the forest to chase after him.
But in this dense forest, even in the daytime, it is very easy for people who are not familiar with the terrain to get lost in it, let alone in this dark night, there is nothing to see around except the forest trees.
It's just the traces of a few people, and unless you lie on the ground and look for it inch by inch, you can't find it at all.
As a last resort, Zhang Ji had no choice but to turn back.
If it weren't for the constant echoing of the pro-soldiers outside, he would have almost been lost in this short distance.
By the time I returned to Nanwuyang City, the sky was basically bright.
The defenders who had been arranged at the city gate were greatly surprised when they saw Zhang Ji.
They couldn't understand how Zhang Ji, who was in the center of the grain and grass, could appear in Nanwuyang so quickly.
Almost ran back and forth with them.
Back in the city, Zhang Ji found Chen Yi, the prime minister of Lu Guo, who was still staying in the hiding place for a few days, and went up to Bangbang with two punches, "It's all a good thing you did, and it's not a shallow thing to me!" ”
was beaten violently for no reason, and Chen Yi, who had an honest face, was stunned.
"General, I'...... I don't think I'm doing anything, am I? It's going well! Chen Yi said with an aggrieved face.
As soon as Zhang Ji heard this, his anger suddenly rushed out, "Smooth? Smooth you have a big head. ”
"I'm going to die this time, and you're no better, it's all your bad idea!"
"I was in charge of transporting grain and grass, but I left my post before the war, which is a capital crime!"
"It may be good to have a great achievement, but now I haven't even caught a ghost shadow when I step on a horse!"
Chen Yi looked at Zhang Ji faintly and said, "Since the general is in the center to adjust the grain and grass, why is he still here now?" You should go to the treasury now! ”
"I'll go to the treasury now and have a fart." Zhang Ji scolded disdainfully and sat down sullenly.
What to do now, he really didn't know.
I was a little panicked in my heart.
Chen Yi persuaded: "The general entered the city earlier than General Xiahou, if he hadn't been discovered, the grain and grass that Liu Dai had worked so hard to collect would have been burned by the general. ”
"You are still adjusting the grain and grass, but not in Lu Country, but in Nanwuyang!"
Zhang Ji's eyes lit up slightly, "That's it...... All right? ”
"If it's too late, it may not work." Chen Yi said.
Zhang Ji suddenly jumped up, grabbed Chen Yi and walked out, "I hope your bad idea will work this time, otherwise, let's die together, and we can still be companions on Huangquan Road." ”
Chen Yi was quite depressed, and he muttered in a low voice: "General, I don't seem to have a bad idea. ”
"We successfully infiltrated Nanwuyang, and successfully found the enemy's grain and grass hoarding place, a fire down, the enemy army will be chaotic, take advantage of the chaos of the enemy's camp, and then the inside and outside should be combined, this city can be broken in an instant."
"But who would have thought that General Xiahoudun would be so coincidentally mixed into Nanwuyang, he had someone to cover up, and it was more convenient for him to act. You really can't be blamed for this, General, it's just that things didn't happen to us. ”
Zhang Ji pushed Chen Yi impatiently, "Okay, you beep less, the matter has come to this, no matter how much you say, it's useless!" ”
"I can tell you, your majesty only looks at the results today, even if you have thousands of reasons and do not make real contributions, it is in vain."
As soon as he heard this, Chen Yi suddenly became extremely worried about his little life.
When the two of them arrived at the treasury, there was already a garrison there.
Zhang Ji looked at it, and it turned out to be his nephew Zhang Xiu who personally stationed troops with him.
In an instant, Zhang Ji's big mouth opened, and the smiling teeth were unscrupulously exposed.
Zhang Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Zhang Ji coming suddenly, "Uncle, why are you here?" ”
"How could I be here, hehe, I came much earlier than you." Zhang Ji smiled, stretched out his arm and hooked Zhang Xiu's neck, "Leave me two hundred soldiers, and then you leave with the other soldiers, and this place belongs to me." ”
Zhang Xiu: ???
"Uncle, what do you mean by that?" Zhang Xiu asked.
He really didn't understand the meaning of Zhang Ji's words, how could it sound like he was about to rob.
Even if it is a robbery, there is no reason to rob one's own people.
Chen Yi saw that these two people were uncles and nephews, and he instantly relieved himself, he told Zhang Xiu what Zhang Ji did in Nanwuyang in great detail, and then said: "General, now only you can help General Zhang Ji." ”
Zhang Xiu looked at Zhang Ji with an embarrassed expression and said, "Uncle, you should have been the first to do this, but now it's really not easy to do it." Everyone knows the grain depot here......"
"Then you don't care, anyway, this grain and grass will have to be disposed of by me in the end!" Zhang Ji said arrogantly.
Zhang Xiu nodded, reluctantly agreed, and said, "However, I still suggest that my uncle inform the Holy Lord of this matter, and it is not your fault. ”
"You don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Ji waved his hand and said, "Why is this not my fault?" It's my fault,"
"If I can catch Liu Dai and that Wang Kuang, even if it is not the first achievement, it will be a great achievement!"
"But I just killed a Lu Bu halfway, this guy's force is quite strong, I couldn't help him."
Zhang Xiu asked in surprise, "Uncle also met Lu Bu?" Haven't been able to win him yet? In this way, this man is indeed tough! ”
"Don't hide it from my uncle, before that, my nephew, Duan and Cao's two generals combined failed to take him down, but they only seriously injured this person!"
Zhang Ji's whole person suddenly felt bad, "You mean, I even let Lu Bu, who was seriously injured in the battle, let him run away?" ”
This news made Zhang Ji, who has always been quite confident in his own force, very depressed.
"And he was wounded in the right arm, and he was stabbed by his nephew." Zhang Xiu said, "If his right arm is injured, he can still escape under your uncle, this person will be a great enemy in the future!" ”
Hearing these words in Zhang Ji's ears, it was like slapping his face one after another.
It wasn't pain, it was a hot humiliation.
"Next time, he will die!" Zhang Ji said word by word.
This field, he said that he had to get it back.
"Uncle, then I'll go first." Zhang Xiu said, "I need to talk to the other generals, and if they know what happened to my uncle, they will definitely be willing to help him." ”
Zhang Ji wanted to stop it, but after thinking about it, he forgot it.
The choice between face and life, there is nothing to be melancholy.
If Cao Ren, Zhang Liao and others attack him because they don't know, it won't be beautiful.
After a whole night of fierce fighting, Nan Wuyang finally calmed down.
Cao Ren and others will be divided into one side, and the soldiers will be placed to stabilize the people in the city.
At the same time, soldiers and horses were also sent to meet Xiahoudun who was heading south.
