Chapter 31: Jizhou (2)
There was a little breeze that night, the day in June was not too hot, the breeze caressed Jizhou, Dong Zhuo was drinking wine in the camp, "Don't say it, this Chengfeng wine is not bad, I haven't drunk such fragrant wine!" It seems that next time I will have to exchange the war horse with him! ”
"General, we will go to Changshan tomorrow to transport grain, and when the time comes, change more wine, don't say it, after drinking this wine, drink something else, just like drinking cold water!" Zhang Ji said with a big tongue, this wine is strong and strong enough, but it is easy to get on! It's only been a few bowls of belly, and I feel like the sky is turning and the earth is turning, and everyone is having two heads!
"Yes, let's see if you can get this recipe for our family, and when we go back, we can brew it ourselves!"
"Yes, my lord!" Guo Yan said, although this wine is different, but he doesn't like this thing, now he is most worried about the fear of Chengfeng to the next trap, if his tens of thousands of people enter the city, it will be a sheep into the mouth of the tiger, after all, Chengfeng is not greedy for these war horses for a day or two! It seems that tomorrow I have to have a long mind, let Zhang Ji lead the cavalry to wait outside, and take the infantry to transport grain!
"Kill!" Just when Guo Yan deserted and the others were drinking happily, there was a sudden shouting of killing. At that time, a few people were half scared to wake up, "What's the matter?" Dong Zhuo said angrily, he hasn't had a smooth time since he called Jizhou, and he was finally in a good mood, and he encountered such a thing after drinking a little wine, which made people angry!
"Lord, Zhang Liang is here to rob the camp!" Li Ru ran and said
"What kind of dog thing, if you don't dare to fight face-to-face, you will sneak attack!" Dong Zhuo angrily threw the wine glass out.
"The lord doesn't have to be like this, Hua Xiong is willing to lead five thousand elite soldiers to retreat from the enemy!" Huaxiong has not been on the battlefield since he came to Jizhou, and when he saw the opportunity at this time, he hurriedly asked for his life,
"Good! There you go! Guo Yan and Li Dao, you two also led troops to assist Hua Xiong, and I personally led the army to guard the camp! Dong Zhuo reacted quickly, and finally said proudly, "This wine is warm for me here, and when the Yellow Turban Army is killed, I will drink it again!" ”
"Kill me!" Huaxiong led the troops to the battle, and there was no grass! I didn't talk to him, I didn't arrange a formation, so I rushed out with the cavalry all the way, Hua Xiong's strength was infinite, and he urged with a big knife and knife in his hand, and he chased and killed the generals of the Yellow Turban Army, only Zhang Liang wanted to scold his mother, although the three brothers were a little bit of martial arts, but they were not a strong martial arts person, this time they brought 5,000 people to lure the enemy, and as soon as they came, they arranged for more than 700 people to quietly ambush nearby, and when they lured the enemy to the place where the second brother was ambushed, they could set fire. It's good now, when I meet such a flute seed, I don't talk to him, I don't know him, the uncle is still strong in martial arts, and he will fight for four or five rounds, and now his hands are still numb, and this rammer will chase himself to kill, which is really speechless! Not only Zhang Liang was depressed, but Hua Xiong was also a little surprised, basically he didn't have a three-in-one enemy in the war, today this thing has a few tricks okay, he is planning to have a good time, his mother actually ran away, look at this martial arts should be a figure with a head and a face, I must kill him!
"Chase, kill me!" Hua Xiong shouted a rare word! chased and killed thousands of people with sparse Lala, Zhang Liang kept scolding in his heart, what is this to lure the enemy, this bastard is determined to kill me, he has to hurry up, if he dies, it will be a loss! "Hurry up, hurry up, you guys block me in layers, don't run around! Use a lot of tripwires! Zhang Liang shouted while running, anyway, no matter whether anyone listened to him or not, at least let the pursuers behind slow down, and they didn't dare to pursue so quickly! Guo Yan and Li Dao also hurriedly led the troops to chase and kill, others didn't know, but they recognized it, that person was Zhang Liang, the general of the people, if he was killed, it would be a name in history! The two of them kept urging to hurry up and chase and kill!
"Drive!" Zhang Liang kept whipping all the way, and finally ran through Zhang Bao's ambush circle, Huaxiong and several people were still in hot pursuit, Zhang Liang almost scolded his mother, fortunately there was a big camp a few miles ahead, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers, otherwise his little life would be gone!
"General, beware of an ambush!" Li Ru said to Hua Xiong, because today's incident was too unusual, how could Zhang Liang dare to attack the camp of hundreds of thousands of troops with such a few people, and there was obviously a Yellow Turban Army in front, but he didn't come out to meet the enemy.
"Haha, what are you afraid of, even if there is an ambush, look at this group of rabble, what is there!" Hua Xiong laughed, just when he just finished laughing, a cannon sounded, and more than 10,000 ambush soldiers were killed on both sides, all of them were crossbowmen, wave after wave of bows and arrows came like a tide, and the Xiliang soldiers fell off their horses one after another, at this time, the people arranged by Zhang Liang finally found an opportunity and set a fire in a camp tent, and many people could not enter Dong Zhuo's camp, so they set fire nearby, anyway, from a distance, it looked like the camp was on fire. Huaxiong and a few people originally wanted to kill the ambush soldiers, but when they saw a fire in their backyard, they returned to the army to fight the fire, Zhang Liang took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, and as soon as the situation changed, the roles were reversed, and the person who was chasing and killing just now was now being chased and killed!
"Hurry up, go back and kill the enemy and put out the fire!" Guo Yan shouted, he and Li Dao were originally ordered to assist Hua Xiong, but now they are ambushed, this Zhang Liang can't be killed, and he knows the ability of his lord, if it really burns the camp tent, maybe this pot will have to be carried by himself and Li Dao!
"Set it on fire, the bigger the better, run when you're done, don't get caught!" A group of people swarmed over and set fire everywhere around Dong Zhuo's camp, no matter where they were, by the time Dong Zhuojun came out to extinguish the fire, the group had already run away. As soon as the wind blew, the fire really burned!
"Hurry back, hurry!" Guo Yan shouted, at this time, he complained a little about Hua Xiong, what are you doing chasing so far! It's okay now, you have to run back desperately, who has the strength to fight the fire when you run back, Zhang Liang is also chasing after him like a mad dog, why didn't you run so fast just now and didn't get tired?
"Kill!" Another shout, and a group of people came out halfway through, and several people were overjoyed, "Don't panic, everyone, General Dong sent someone to pick us up!" Hua Xiong grinned with such a big mouth, and Li Ru, who was watching, wanted to give him a few big mouths, "You fool, didn't you see this group of people directly killing us!" Before Li Ru could speak, there was a rain of arrows in front of him, and the Xiliang soldiers who had just relaxed were defenseless, just like cutting leeks, and they fell down a piece.
"Not good!" Even a fool could see that something was wrong, and Hua Xiong shouted, "Break through with me!" This is the Yellow Turban Army, too insidious, ambushing us on the way back! "Hua Xiong, Guo Yan, and Li Dao are like three sharp arrows, leading the men and horses to rush out, Li Ru and his soldiers followed them closely, and the Yellow Turban Army had the advantage of geographical advantage, plus it was an ambush, which was regarded as waiting for work, and it also had a great advantage psychologically. But the Xiliang Army, which couldn't stand up for its desperate efforts, was finally rushed out by Li Ru and some of them. As for the rest, it was chopped into meat paste by Zhang Liang and others!
"General, the enemy army has been killed, and the fire is only burning near the camp! Several places in the camp have been extinguished! "Dong Zhuo's camp, Zhang Ji said to Dong Zhuo
"Good! Not bad! Set the wine, wait for a few of them to come back, and we should celebrate! Dong Zhuo laughed
"General, why do I think something is wrong," Zhang Ji said
"What's wrong?" Dong Zhuo didn't think there was anything wrong, he was still tasting the wine, and kept sighing that Chengfeng's wine was good.
"If Zhang Liang came to rob the camp and raid, how could he bring such a few people, besides, why did they set fire to our camp!" Zhang Ji couldn't figure it out, this soldier is also treacherous, it's too treacherous!
"Whatever, it's good to kill and disperse, tomorrow we will pull grain and grass in Chengfeng, let's withdraw, what the hell and cunning has nothing to do with us, let's go back to Xiliang, wait for the world to be in chaos and then find an opportunity to dominate the Central Plains" Dong Zhuo said casually
"What's going on? Why is the big camp okay? Guo Yan looked dazed, and said to Li Ru with some disbelief, isn't it on fire? Why is there nothing at all, this special brain is not enough!
"It's a trick, Zhang Liang seems to be going to ambush us, it's just a time difference! Let's go, let's go back to camp! Li Ru said lightly, it seems that this Yellow Turban Army is not all straw bales, after a long illness, he will become a good doctor, and if he eats more defeats, he will become a master of soldiers!
"Let's go, go back!" Seeing that several people returned to the camp, Zhang Bao felt that he could no longer attack, so he instructed Zhang Liang.
"Second brother, are we going to attack again?" Zhang Liang is really a little unwilling, mainly because he is not convinced, he was chased and cut by Hua Xiong just now, but he was seen by many people, if he goes back so gloomy, where will his face go, besides, now his morale is high, if he doesn't play a good role, it's a bit of a waste!
"Attack? Can you beat it? Can you stop Dong Zhuo's Tiger and Wolf Army? Just those generals just now, which one can you deal with? Zhang Bao rubbed his forehead and said helplessly to Zhang Liang,
"I ......" asked Zhang Liang with a sentence, he really couldn't beat the second goods, now I think about it and feel stunned, fortunately I am familiar with the terrain, otherwise it will be dangerous, but I still don't give up, so I muttered, "I can't beat it, but we can't put more arrows or something, see if there are any surprises!" ”
"Let's go back! In case Dong Zhuo's army is dispatched, it is us who suffers, and besides, we have the upper hand now, not to mention anything else, these thousands of horses are ours! "Zhang Baodao, after all, there are very few cavalry in the Central Plains, and ordinary people can't afford to raise them, that is, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers have been riding horses since they were young, and they all brought their war horses with them when they were recruited, otherwise he wouldn't be able to gather so many cavalry! Zhang Bao was overjoyed to get these thousands of horses, and he could equip the cavalry himself, and then there would be another guarantee!
"Alright! Back to camp! Zhang Liang said
"Lord, we wait for the war to be unfavorable, and please ask the lord to punish the crime!" Dong Zhuo looked at the few people kneeling down in front of him, frowned and thought for a while, "Haha, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, it's okay if people are fine, let's get up!" Thousands of troops are easy to get and hard to find, you are all brave generals of my Xiliang Army, just work hard in the future! ”
"Thank you, my lord!" Several people were grateful, thinking that this time it was a living crime, but they didn't expect this lord to be so merciful this time.
"Okay, serve the wine, suppress the shock of the generals, and when you go to Changshan tomorrow, be careful, don't be taken advantage of by the Yellow Turban Army again!" Dong Zhuo said with a smile, although he was very dissatisfied in his heart, he still had to rely on this group of people to sell his life, so he had to comfort him!
Zhang He and Xu Shu, who were far away in Yingchuan, inadvertently destroyed the plan of the Yellow Turban Army, and now the two are thinking together what to do next, the biggest difference between the two is that Zhang He wants to continue to ambush and wait for the grain and grass of the Yellow Turban Army, because the group of people he eliminated will definitely have follow-up food and grass, but Xu Shu thinks that he should take the initiative to attack, first eliminate a small group of Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan, and take advantage of the situation to see if there is a suitable opportunity to take the opportunity to grab a few families!
"Mr. Xu, I don't have any opinion on dealing with the Yellow Turban Army, but we have to think about it?" Zhang He said
"What is there to consider, the family is the master's henchman, now we can take the opportunity to pretend that the Yellow Turban Army eliminated a few families that are causing trouble, which can not only cause the Han army to move, but also disrupt the situation in Yingchuan, and create more opportunities for us, if the Han army and the Yellow Turban Army fight a few more times, maybe we can pick up an opportunity to destroy the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan in one fell swoop, after all, there are not many Yellow Turban troops here!" Xu Shu said
"But which family are we dealing with?" Zhang He was finally moved by Xu Shu's words, and indeed Xu Shu's method is the most suitable at present! It's just that Zhang He is a little embarrassed in the choice of the family, although some of the big families are not good for the people, but now all the families are resisting the Yellow Turban Army, which is also consistent with Chengfeng's current strategic goals, and he still can't do anything to these innocent people.
"Hehe, I said General Zhang, we don't necessarily have to attack and kill, as long as the wind is released, it will be said that the Yellow Turban Army is going to attack and kill the Yingchuan Xun family, with their power in the court, they will definitely mobilize troops, so that the Yellow Turban Army will have a response, and we can find an opportunity!" Xu Shu didn't want to embarrass Zhang He, so he had to say such a plan, and at the same time said silently in his heart, "I'm sorry, old man, who called your Xun family a big business!" ”
I don't know when it started, and I don't know where the news came from, the whole Yingchuan is spreading, the Bocai army is about to attack and kill the Xun family in the near future, and order the Yellow Turban Army from all over the country to support, which makes the entire Xun family panic, whether the news is true or not, the Xun family uses the power of the DPRK and China to mobilize the nearby Han army to guard, and the slaves and soldiers of the Xun family are also armed.
"Wen Ruo, how can you say that this Yellow Turban Army suddenly remembered to attack us? Our Xun family is not so easy to deal with, right? The head of the Xun family asked
"Hehe, don't worry, the head of the family has not moved for many days, how can he attack us, there are mostly people with intentions who spread rumors, don't panic, but you can't take it lightly, you still have to be prepared!" Xun Yu took a fancy to the key point of the matter at a glance! With its own strong strength, it is impossible for Bocai to shake it, this has been a stalemate for several months, it is impossible to attack at all, and now the Bocai army is short of generals and food, only small groups of people and horses from all over the country sneak attack everywhere to disturb the Han army, maintaining a balance! Originally, Bo had the opportunity to dominate Yingchuan, but unfortunately he didn't seize the opportunity of Zhu Junhuang Fu Chong's absence, and now the two of them led the troops back to Yingchuan, and Bo Cai regretted that he was about to hit the wall!
"Then I'll rest assured, by the way, you will go to Luoyang tomorrow to accompany the two princes to study, and you have to behave well when the time comes!" The more the head of the Xun family looks at Xun Yu, the more satisfied he becomes, he really deserves to be his own unicorn!
"It's the head of the house!" Xun Yu saluted, in fact, he really didn't want to go, in that place, he was not free at all!
Bocai doesn't know where the news came from, but now he is not in the mood to deal with these things, the loss of Nanyang City makes him now face the situation of dividing his troops to fight, and he doesn't know Zhang Mancheng's life and death, and now he is struggling, whether to send troops or pull it to Dongjun, otherwise in the face of Zhu Jun Huangfu Chonghe Jin joining forces, he will not have a chance!
"Bo Shuai, why don't we go and attack Changshe, where we are adjacent to Runan in the south and Dongjun in the east, although Runan was defeated by the Han army, there are not many soldiers now. And the long society is the place where the Han army was stationed in the past, the city has been built by them, it has been very suitable for defense, and now there is no Zhu Jun Emperor Fu Chong's army, we can capture the city in one fell swoop! "There is humanity
"Good! The army is attacking the city, and I think there is food and grass in it! "Bocai finally made up his mind to attack Changsha as his base in the later stage!
Zhang Mancheng has been in ambush for three days under Runan City, and finally waited for the right opportunity, a team of grain transporters transported grain and grass to Nanyang, was killed by him halfway, sent people to disguise themselves as defeated soldiers back to the city, and suddenly launched an attack at the city gate, controlled the city gate, and then the army covered up and killed, captured Ruyang City in one fell swoop, and all the officers and officials in the city were killed.
"How? This Emperor Zhu Jun revered Nanyang, but he lost Runan! "Emperor Ling was a little speechless, didn't he lose the watermelon for the sake of sesame?
"Your Majesty, don't worry, in this way, the Yellow Turban Army is concentrated in Qingxu and Jizhou, Yingchuan East County, although they are connected, they are also besieged by us, and they can only operate east of Hangu Pass, and they are no longer able to target Luoyang!" Zhang Rang hurriedly said,
"Well, it also makes sense, since that's the case, let's send the general He Jin to join the army! Striving to calm Zhang Jiao as soon as possible, I really want to see what these three brothers are capable of? Emperor Ling smiled
After receiving the will of Emperor Ling, He Jin, in order to be foolproof, personally guarded the checkpoint, and sent Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to each bring a team of soldiers and horses to gallop to the aid of the starry night, and went to Dongjun and Jizhou respectively to participate in the war, and strive to quell the rebellion as soon as possible!
As for Xu Shu and Zhang He, after hearing the news of the Yellow Turban's joining, for the sake of insurance, they did not act privately, they were still waiting in secret, killing and injuring the Yellow Turban Army in a small fight, and the situation in Yingchuan was slowly changing.
