Chapter 255: All the way north

Twenty-three-year-old Zhang Wei has never been happier than he is now.

He was born in poverty, and he was slightly famous for his open-mindedness and heroism, and he was ashamed of receiving the position of meritorious Cao the year before last.

Now in troubled times, the Han family has declined to this point, Cao is ambitious outside Bashu, and Liu Zhang is indifferent to Bashu.

I thought that it would be a blessing to do my duty and protect the safety of the township, but I didn't think that in just one year, Uncle Liu Huang replaced Liu Zhang, and Yizhou began to embark on a completely different situation from before.

And this Han clan member didn't know where he heard his name, so he was unceremoniously promoted to his side and didn't say anything, and he didn't hesitate to teach the way to lead the troops.

After the arrival of the Jiaozhou envoy, Wu Yi even overwhelmed the opinion of Sima and temporarily promoted him to the position of the commander of the army.

With the position of other governors, he led the elite out of Yizhou by entering the road, and supported Jingnan through Jiaozhou, which was the order that Wu Yi handed over to Zhang Wei.

Although there are few soldiers, these are all elite soldiers who have experienced the chaos in Nanzhong for nearly a year, and Zhang Wei has nothing else to ask for.

And now that he is charging forward, Zhang Wei is more and more grateful to Uncle Liu Huang in his heart.

The previous position of Gong Cao, although he could protect the safety of the township, how could he compare to the battlefield to make people's blood boil?

Wu Ju in the rear climbed up a small hill and saw quite clearly.

General Zhang, who had looked elegant before, was like a sharp arrow on the battlefield at this moment, piercing the enemy's formation, and all those who blocked it died, tearing a hole in Jiangdong's front.

Yizhou's soldiers followed behind Zhang Wei, expanding the opening, and finally formed a sweeping trend.

"Prepare a meal as a reward!" Wu Giant did not reply to the order.

The next guard reminded him:

"General, now that the victory or defeat is not decided, it is better to let the athletes prepare for war as support."

Wu Ju shook his head easily:

"General Zhang has won a big victory!"

On the battlefield, it is indeed as Wu Ju said.

The hole torn open by Zhang Wei became bigger and bigger and difficult to bridge, and the Yizhou soldiers cooperated with each other in an orderly manner, and it can be said that they repelled the counterattack of the Jiangdong Army with great ease.

And after repelling the dying and struggling Jiangdong soldiers again, Zhang Wei saw someone screaming, threw away the weapon in his hand and began to flee reflexively.

Although the quick-eyed army was stabbed with a knife in his backhand, the riots did not subside but intensified.

In just a few breaths, the momentum of rout and escape swept across the battlefield, making the hopeless soldiers reflex in a daze, and then randomly choose a direction and start fleeing.

Zhang Wei laughed heartily and immediately waved his hand:

"Beat the drums, chase ten miles!"

Jingnan is mountainous, and it is very easy for the soldiers who have fled to hide, and if these soldiers want to escape back to Jiangdong, they must rely on the boats and ships in the rear.

Ten miles of pursuit is enough to capture these warships, as long as the rout cannot return north, then this Jiangdong army can be regarded as eating.

After a while, when Wu Ju saw Zhang Wei again, this fierce general who dared to die and attacked bloodthirsty on the battlefield had changed back into a general with a personable and elegant temperament.

So Wu Ju couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is really unseemly.

His face became more and more respectful, and after greeting Zhang Wei and taking a seat, Wu Ju also tried to put forward his own suggestions for the battle situation:

"Now that the general has won a big victory, Jiangdong will not know for a while, so it is better to seize the time to rest and wait for Jiangdong's reinforcements to attack."

Zhang Wei picked up the cup and sniffed it, put it down again when he smelled the wine, and beckoned for a cup of tea.

At this time, hearing Wu Ju say this, Zhang Wei stopped bringing the tea to his mouth.

Just holding the posture of drinking water and thinking for a while, Zhang Wei asked:

"Is there a person under Wu Taishou who is good at handling ships?"

"Yes!"

Then Wu Ju listened attentively to Zhang Wei's instructions, and finally there was still a trace of worry in his expression:

"This strategy is feasible, but this is how the general has worked so hard......"

Zhang Wei put a sip of untouched tea back on the table and arched his hand:

"There is a way to save people like fighting fires, so it will trouble Wu Taishou."

"I will go to prepare the soldiers first, and I will only wait for Wu Taishou to open the boat."

After saying that, Zhang Wei nodded to Wu Ju and then went out of the tent, listening to his loud shouting, it should be to inform the Yizhou soldiers of their next plans.

Looking at the young general's dashing back, and then at the untouched wine, food and tea, Wu Ju sighed lightly, and immediately made up his mind.

Who didn't have a dream of being a famous player when they were young? Done!

Half an hour later, the Yizhou army had been reorganized, and under Zhang Wei's order, they boarded the warships captured from Jiangdong in turn, and then changed into the clothes of Jiangdong soldiers in the cabin one by one, lay down on the spot, adjusted a familiar posture, and fell asleep one by one.

After seeing the good fighting of the Yizhou army, these Cangwu soldiers who usually fought with the mountain barbarians were completely convinced, and obediently put down the ring head knife and turned to honestly operate the boat and make the oar, and also subconsciously lightly stomped a little, in order to let the Yizhou army in the cabin sleep well.

The fleet sailed down the deep-water river, but half an hour later it was speeding past Yingpu County.

The Jiangdong Army, which had been in a stalemate with Wu Ju for more than ten days, set off from Yingpu, and every time the Jiangdong Army crossed the Jiangdong Army, it would return to Yingpu to get grain and grass, so the defenders were very familiar with the style of the warship, and they muttered in their hearts for the first time, why did the grain and grass that was only taken yesterday come again today?

But seeing the huge appearance of this fleet, and the fact that it was not stopping to go straight downstream at Yingpu, the defenders who were sluggish smelled different news:

"Is the front line defeated?"

"Impossible! Two days ago, I chatted with the robe who took grain and grass, saying that the front line was superior! ”

"The defenders of Cangwu County are lazy, how can they win a big victory, and there is no news coming back?"

"The most important thing at the moment is to send the Xinquan Mausoleum, don't be taken by thieves!"

The Yingpu defenders talked a lot, and for a while, they couldn't make a decision like headless flies.

But in fact, everyone also knows that Quanling City is in the lower reaches of this deep-water river, and they must rely on this river if they want to send letters to the past.

But at this time, if a small boat is sent to deliver the letter, I am afraid that it will hit the ass of that fleet at the first time and fall into the hands of others.

Therefore, although they have sensed that something is wrong, there is really nothing they can do at the moment.

After more than 100 miles after Yingpu is Quanling, which is also where the Lingling County Administration is located, the Shenshui River flows into Xiangshui here, and then rushes all the way to the north and finally joins Yunmengze, which is very important in Jingnan.

When the sun was in the west, the sleeping Zhang Wei was also awakened by Wu Ju.

The civilian general, who had no nobility in his body, got up and walked out of the cabin, and at this time Quanling seemed to be already in sight.

Zhang Wei turned his head and smiled:

"Do you want so-and-so to come, or are you too self-contained?"

At this time, Wu Ju looked calm:

"Let the general do what he does."

Seeing the righteousness on Wu Ju's face, Zhang Wei was a little moved, and hugged his fists and smiled:

"In that case, you're welcome."

But after a while, Wu Ju, who was tied up with hemp rope like a zongzi, knew that this General Zhang was really unkind.

The rough hemp rope was tightly strangled, and Zhang Wei looked at his face for a while, and punched him twice in the cheek and brow.

So when he arrived at the foot of Quanling City, Wu Ju's face was already swollen.

The fleet was very conspicuous, and although it seemed to be from Koto, the gates were closed out of vigilance.

Zhang Wei pretended to be a soldier, and another vigilant soldier with a Jiangdong accent pushed and shoved the bound Wu Ju to the city of Quanling.

However, before the soldiers could say the lines of the rolling melons on their backs, Zhang Wei heard an arrogant voice from the city wall:

"I am Xing Daorong, the general of Lingling under Sun Hou's tent! Thou shalt be ...... Wu Taishou? Cangwu County lost? ”

The arrogant voice changed its tone in the middle of speaking, and it looked stunned.

Zhang Wei's heart suddenly suddenly, someone here actually knows Wu Ju?

However, the guard was very alert, and immediately said:

"Not bad! General Sun broke the thief army in Yingpu, and even the leader of the thief army was captured by General Sun! ”

"Don't open the city gate quickly, the brothers are all caught on the ship, you have to unload the grain and grass and go back to load the harvest!"

The city wall immediately fell silent, and it seemed that the argument between Xing Daorong and others could still be heard.

Soon a hanging basket hung down from the city wall, and there was no choice at this time, Zhang Wei and his personal guards could only escort Wu Ju to the hanging basket, and the Yizhou soldiers hiding in the cabin were holding their breath at the moment, and subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands.

The hanging basket was dragged up by the defenders, and the guards handed over the seal letter in their hands as soon as possible.

Naturally, this seal letter really can't be true, after all, it was found from the corpse of that General Sun, and the only trouble is that it took a lot of effort to wash the blood stains on it.

The inquest of the letter was correct, and the guard of Quanling couldn't help muttering a little:

"How do I think you are quite ......?"

Zhang Wei was ready to pounce at any time.

At the critical moment, I only heard a voice grinning:

"What's so strange about that? Wu Taishou's ability to train soldiers is second only to me, although General Sun wins, but it will be a tragic victory, the general you know well may have already been separated. ”

This should be that Xing Daorong, Zhang Wei looked intently, and saw that this person was slightly fat, and two small bean-like eyes on a round face were staring at Wu Ju non-stop.

"Even so......" The guard felt the same, although he always felt a little wrong, but he was too lazy to care:

"The army must not enter the city, just send a hundred and ten men to carry it and capture it."

Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, this was enough, and he was about to thank the general for opening the city gate, so he saw that Xing Daorong naturally turned behind the guard, and then slashed at the guard's neck with a clean knife.

The Hengsheng accident stunned everyone, and then Zhang Wei saw that Xing Daorong continued to overturn the Wu soldiers beside him with a knife, and at the same time shouted:

"Brothers, let's do it, kill Wu Gou, and restore Lingling!"

There was a commotion on the city wall, Zhang Wei had always been decisive, and immediately broke the rope on Wu Ju's body, and then joined the battle with a ring-headed knife.

Because he saw that the Lingling General was stumbling under the attack of several Wu soldiers, and he was about to die.

Zhang Wei's addition was like a whirlwind, and it began to ruthlessly sweep the weak Wu soldiers on the city wall.

Xing Daorong breathed two sighs of relief, and after his heartbeat calmed down, he said hatefully: "General Ben almost beheaded three bodies, but he was robbed!" ”

The morale of the defenders at night is not as high as during the day, not to mention that the guards are dead at this time, and the Jingzhou soldiers who surrendered before around them suddenly met them at this moment, and the Wu soldiers were in chaos for a while.

Taking advantage of the riots, Zhang Wei also led Wu Ju and his own soldiers to successfully kill the city, and after the Jingzhou soldiers who rebelled against the water overturned the city gate defenders, the city gate of Quanling was also reopened.

The well-trained Yizhou army, hidden in the cabin, lined up in an orderly manner, and then marched into Quanling Castle to support their generals.

And with this elite army joining the battle, Quanling City was also quickly pacified.

It's just that what made Zhang Wei cry and laugh was that when he asked this Xing Daorong afterwards how he saw through the bitter plan, this Lingling General was full of consternation:

"Is this a bitter ploy?"

"Otherwise, why did you win Jiangdong's trust by deception?"

"Is General Ben a fraud?"

Zhang Wei was speechless for a moment, and only after asking more carefully did he realize that this Lingling General didn't think about it so much at all, he just wanted to save Wu Ju.

"Xuande Gong ruled Jingnan with great care, and the taxes have dropped a lot in a few years, and the general and the township have improved a lot to farm and defend the city."

Xing Daorong said that this matter was full of reason:

"As a result, after this Wu soldier occupied Lingling, the first thing to do was to raise taxes, who doesn't think about Xuande Gong?"

"As for this Wu Ju, we all know that this is an old friend of Xuande Gong, Xuande Gong is kind to Lingling, and the general wants to repay his kindness so that he cannot fall into the hands of Jiangdong."

Hearing this, Zhang Wei could only sigh that luck was a matter of luck.

If Wu Juzhen is captured by Wu Bingsheng here, I am afraid that even if Xing Daorong rises up, he will only be hacked to death with Wu Ju.

And this so-called general, who does not have a serious title of Xuande Gong, does not seem to know how to lead troops to fight, and Zhang Wei does not know how much water there is, but he still helped a lot after all, so Zhang Wei also arched his hand solemnly:

"If you see Xuande Gong, you will definitely inform Xuande Gong of this achievement."

So Xing Daorong left with a happy face.

Although it was late at night, Zhang Wei rested on the boat for more than an hour as if he had exhausted his energy, and at this moment he was already pulling Wu Ju to explain:

"The situation waits for no one, and after dawn, a certain person needs to go north according to the plan, and the safety of Quanling will be entrusted to the hands of Taishou."

Tonight's experience is exciting enough, Wu Ju solemnly surrendered:

"Now the military situation is urgent, but when the general passes by Cangwu in triumph, please take a rest, so that the friendship of the landlord can be exhausted."

Wu Ju of Quanling was not worried, because according to the information given by Zhang Wei, the prince of Jiaozhou also led an army to attack Lingling from the direction of Yulin in response.

And now that General Zhang Wei has won two battles, Lingling's Jiangdong Army has been weakened like never before, and it is not a problem to defend it.

After a simple and polite remark, as soon as the sky was bright on the second day, this Yizhou soldier continued on the road under the leadership of Zhang Wei.

Continue to go down the river for more than 100 miles, and after arriving in Yongchang, this team abandoned the ship and went directly north to Zhaoling by land.

After continuing the surprise attack and destroying the Jiangdong army here, more than 3,000 elite soldiers crowded into the warship captured at Zhaoling.

Next to Zhaoling is Zishui, and continuing down this river, Zhang Wei intends to attack Yiyang.

And to the north of Yiyang, is the center of Jingnan, Hanshou!
