Chapter 72: Meeting Guan Yu, uncle and nephew reunited

"Sure enough, I still underestimate these monks, and they are so fierce and not afraid of death."

As Chen Zhi rushed to kill with all his might, after killing dozens of monks and soldiers with sparse martial arts one after another, he finally felt weak.

Those enemy moves could not pose a threat to him at all. But this kind of tidal impact is undoubtedly extremely huge for people's physical exertion.

Especially when many monks and soldiers faced his attack, they didn't know how to dodge and parry, but they just took their weapons and greeted Chen Zhi in a daze.

He was not used to this style of play at first, and was almost injured by the enemy several times. Rao was able to avoid it, and he was slightly scared into a cold sweat.

But at this point, he has no way back!

From the moment he decided to take a big gamble and cut off the enemy's escape route directly, instead of chasing the tail and covering the kill.

The remaining battles are destined to be won by the brave who meet on a narrow road, and there is no room for flickering and maneuvering.

When he was in a trance, Chen Zhi also suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and somehow he opened his mind, and shouted: "Kill the hair thief first!" Those who descend will not be killed! ”

The Bai Yu soldiers behind him also tightly protected Chen Zhi's flank, followed by the left and right rushes, and shouted together.

Chen Zhi has realized that even if he only shouts "those who descend will not be killed", most of those monks and soldiers will not surrender.

In this case, it is better to persuade surrender and take the initiative to emphasize the differential treatment of one's own side.

In the hope that those county soldiers in the enemy army whose martial arts and military discipline are slightly better, but whose will to fight is not strong, can not come up to join in the fun for the time being, and sit back and watch the success or failure.

Sure enough, after Chen Zhi shouted the new slogan, more enemy soldiers who were originally forced to take up arms to protect themselves began to waver.

They may move out of the way on both sides of the road and try to avoid being attacked by the pond fish.

What's more, some county soldiers were blocked by the monks who rushed up from behind, and were about to be forced to go up to use them as meat shields. He actually mustered up the courage and turned around with his sword to cut each other with the monks, just to cut a way out of the monks' front to ensure that he was far away from the hand-to-hand combat with the Han army.

After surviving the initial difficult moment, Chen Zhi also rushed to flank the Danyang infantry who were condescendingly charging on the western slope. Finally, the most die-hard reinforcement monks and soldiers were completely defeated and dispersed, and all that was left was a one-sided harvest.

Chen Zhi felt dizzy for a while, mechanically and instinctively brandished a steel spear, and after killing seven or eight monks, he was finally escorted by the white soldiers and retreated to the side.

Only then did he realize that he had two or three flesh wounds on his body at some point, but fortunately, they were all cut by the blade, and they looked bloody, but the wounds were not deep.

He has armor and sword weapons, and at most he can only get away with causing some damage in the cracks or breaks.

"I can't take such a risk in the future, this time it's all because I want to compete with Gan Ning."

Watching the sons and daughters finally crush the resistance of the monks and soldiers, and the large groups of county soldiers and militia who were blocked completely lost the will to fight and surrendered on their knees. Chen Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and examined himself in his heart.

There can be no more contests of wills in the future.

Fortunately, the outcome of the war was good.

The whole battle lasted less than half an hour from the time of the crossbow throwing stones, and it was completely over.

Chen Zhi's adventure also really allowed him to capture at least 2,000 more prisoners - if he hadn't been so decisive just now, and completely intercepted the enemy's Chinese army and the front army, then most of the routs of the Chinese army might have escaped from the encirclement, and they could only rely on follow-up cover-ups to expand the results of the battle.

And now, the Chinese army has almost been completely annihilated, only because the long snake formation dragged on too long and did not have time to enter the ambush circle, the rear army reluctantly broke and fled back.

Chen Zhibu spent most of the hour cleaning up the battlefield and collecting prisoners of war.

According to rough statistics, about 3,000 people surrendered and were captured.

killed, trampled and fell, and was driven down Peng Lize and drowned, a total of about one or two thousand people.

The rest retreated, or were slightly injured or thrown into the lake to escape, which is difficult to count.

After doing all this, it was already dark - the Zheng family army originally passed through the Lushan Mountains before dark, walked for another hour or two, and rushed to Chaisang City to sleep.

There was an extra hour of delay, and it was necessary to control the orderly march of the captives, and the whole army left the mountains completely at the end of the day, and returned to the city at the end of the day.

When they got to the bottom of the city, the guards at the head of the city were still cautious, first let people put down the hanging basket, and hang Chen Zhi alone at the head of the city to confirm the situation, and then opened the city gate and put the Danyang soldiers and Bai Yu soldiers in.

The captives were also disarmed, and each tied his left arm, and the five people were tied in a row, and they were escorted by the Danyang soldiers, so as not to cause chaos in the night.

……

"Uncle Zhi is injured? It doesn't matter, get a doctor! ”

Zhuge Jin was woken up from his sleep by Gan Ning, only to know that Chen had returned victorious.

He also wanted to wait for news, but he didn't know when the enemy would come, so he didn't carry it and slept first.

But in any case, Zhuge Jin's Lixian corporal posture is still very good, and when he got the good news and learned of the injury, he immediately went to condole in person.

When Zhuge Jin arrived, the medical workers had already thoroughly cleaned and bandaged the wound with boiled and cooled herbal water, and it was no big deal.

Zhuge Jin hurriedly condoled the injury, Chen Zhi only said that it was okay, and waited for Zhuge Jin to ask him about the results.

But where can Zhuge Jin understand Chen Zhi's concern?

On the contrary, he felt that the other party was injured, and at this time, if he asked about the results of the battle first, wouldn't he seem to be a sweat-sweating capitalist?

When an employee is injured at work, you ask him how well the KpI is done?

The two of them were polite for a long time, and finally there was movement at the door.

It turned out that Zhuge Liang was also notified that he had been woken up, and he hurriedly dressed and came to condole, and saw the awkward chat between the eldest brother and Chen Dao.

It was still Zhuge Liang who was a bystander, and hurriedly asked: "Uncle Zhi is such a brave general, and he is still wounded in blood, and the enemy army must be extremely numerous, and the results of this battle are not small, right?" I don't know how many captures and captures there were? ”

Zhuge Jin's face changed: "Ah Liang! Let Uncle Zhi recuperate first, why bother asking now about these little things! ”

Unexpectedly, the sluggish look on Chen Zhi's face was swept away with Zhuge Liang's question.

Even despite the cut on his left arm, he still arched his hand vigorously and replied energetically: "Our army shot the enemy's main general, it seems that he is a brother of Zhenrong!" Won ......"

And then it was added with a bunch of numbers.

Zhuge Jin looked at Chen Zhi suspiciously, and it took a long time to realize that the humanistic care he had cultivated in the 21st century was not applicable at all in this era.

People don't care about you squeezing him at all, what people care about is that you have clear rewards and punishments.

Zhuge Jin couldn't help but stroke his forehead, realizing that his thinking still has a gap between the times: "It's still Ah Liang who understands things." Uncle Zhi, I don't know the priorities, I will revise the book tomorrow, and suggest that General Zhengnan promote you to the rank of captain. Rest in peace, and the rest of the reward will be discussed tomorrow. ”

Zhuge Jin previously gave Gan Ning an official title, which was a direct verbal promise, and the procedure was much simpler than Chen Zhi.

Because Gan Ning was looking at Zhuge Liang's face and came to help as a friend, he only said that he would help the Zhuge family first and get promoted, but he didn't say that he wanted to defect to Liu Bei.

Chen Dao's situation is completely different, he was borrowed by Zhuge Jin from Liu Bei to save his uncle, and after saving his uncle, of course he had to return the troops. Therefore, Zhuge Jin can only state Chen Zhi's merits to Liu Bei and suggest that Liu Bei adopt them.

After listening to Zhuge Jin's approval, Chen Zhi was refreshed and went back to rest.

Zhuge Jin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and Zhuge Liang and others dispersed before gently suggesting:

"Big brother, you have been humble and self-denying since you were a child, you have no desires and no desires, you haven't seen you for two or three years, and you have more compassion and benevolence.

However, in administering the military, you can't treat others with yourself. What you don't care about, others don't necessarily care. What you care about, others may not care about.

Uncle Zhi these days, he has been stimulated by Xingba's repeated miraculous feats, and he has been holding his breath, don't you see it? Even I can see it.

Bloody brave generals, most of them have the idea of competing for merit. This is not necessarily greedy for fame and fortune, gold and silver rewards, but just trying to prove himself. ”

Zhuge Jin was vigilant in his heart, nodded sincerely and sighed:

"It's true that I still don't understand the desire and state of mind of a general, and I have never put myself in my shoes in this regard.

Ah Liang, I'm not as good as you in this regard. Congratulations, it's only been ten days since you led the troops, and you have already surpassed me a little. ”

……

Because Chen Zhi was a little injured, Zhuge Jin was embarrassed to speak the next day and transferred him to Yongxiu County to change Guan Yu.

In the end, it was Zhuge Liang who could see the situation clearly, and he noticed that Chen Dao's injuries were actually quite slight, mainly due to the loss of some blood and physical exhaustion.

As for those two wounds, they are really shallow and are estimated to heal in a few days.

So Zhuge Liang took the initiative to find Chen Zhi and told him, "He is injured now, if he stays in Chaisang, he will not be transferred to combat missions by his eldest brother for a long time, and he will have no chance to make meritorious contributions."

If you can go to Yongxiu County to change the captain of the defense and take on the heavy responsibility, then as long as you hold the Yongxiu City, it will be a great achievement. In the future, if our army can find an opportunity to completely defeat Zhenrong in the field, this credit for blocking Zhenrong's flank can account for at least two or three percent. ”

After hearing this, Chen Zhi took the initiative to ask Zhuge Jin for his life, saying that he didn't want to participate in the field battle anymore during the period of recuperation, and he was idle anyway, and he could recuperate when he was defending the city, so he asked Zhuge Jin to send him to Yongxiu.

Zhuge Jin saw that he was indeed fine, so he allocated more than 1,000 people from Chen Hengbu to him and asked him to take him to Yongxiu to change Guan Yu. And Guan Yu will come back with his two thousand Danyang soldiers at that time, and go to Chaisang to join the main force.

As for Zhuge Xuan's original more than 1,000 militiamen, they also stayed in Yongxiu County, Xi'an County and other places, and handed them over to Chen Zhi's command, which was also convenient to use those local soldiers to restrain Chen Heng's new army, so as not to cause chaos.

Anyway, you don't need elite soldiers to defend the city, you need it in the field.

After Chen received the order, he took the troops by boat on the same day and went to Yongxiu - unlike the Zhenjia army, which was forced to give up Peng Lize's right to control the lake, so that the dispatch troops had to take the land route,

Because of the existence of Gan Ning, the Han army can go to Peng Lize in a big way, and then march to the Xiushui River.

Even if the Xiushui River flows into the estuary of Peng Lize, just one or two miles outside Haiyang County, Gan Ning, the "captain of the troop transport fleet", is not afraid.

The waterway is much more convenient than the land route, there is no need to climb over the Lushan Mountain, and the soldiers can also sail while sleeping at night. So just a day and a half later, I arrived in Yongxiu County.

Chen Zhi made a deal with Guan Yu and Zhuge Xuan, and then Guan Yu took two thousand Danyang soldiers to take a boat to change the defense and return to Chaisang, and joined forces with the main force in order to train the troops and fight a decisive battle in the future.

……

Guan Yu and Zhuge Xuan and their entourage finally arrived at Chaisang on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, that is, the day before Chinese New Year's Eve.

Zhuge Jin and all his younger siblings, of course, would come to the dock outside the East Water Gate of Chaisang in advance to greet him.

After all, his uncle helped his family in terms of money for six or seven years, and for other brothers other than Zhuge Jin, he had two years of direct support.

Zhuge was very respectful to the whole family, and before the boat stopped, they stood on the trestle.

Finally, as the springboard was set up, the boat headed by Gan Ning was the first to come down, and then he personally supported and led a tall, thin and beautiful middle-aged man of thirty-five or sixteen years old to get off the boat, it was Zhuge Xuan.

Zhuge Liang and the others naturally recognized it at a glance, but Zhuge Jin hesitated a little to get used to it, searched his memory, and saw that Ah Liang had stepped forward, so he dared to be sure:

"Little nephew to see uncle."

Zhuge Xuan's eyes seemed to be a little dazed, swept over Zhuge Jin, and then swept over Zhuge Liang, and paused quietly for a few seconds.

Only then did he stretch out his somewhat thin arm, and his left and right hands grabbed the shoulders of the Zhuge brothers tightly:

"Jin'er, Liang'er, you're all out of breath, I really didn't expect it. I haven't seen each other for three years, I haven't seen each other for a year, and I have grown so much......

In the end, I still have to rely on you to bring in the rescue soldiers, otherwise I am afraid that I will die at the hands of the dog thieves...... The number of fates is unpredictable, which is really embarrassing. ”

After everyone saluted, Zhuge Liang continued to greet his uncle.

And Zhuge Jin hurriedly came over to greet Guan Yu, who was disembarking from the boat behind:

"Cloud Chief! Protect your uncle's kindness, there is no way to repay it, please go into the city to rest! Our army has captured a lot of prisoners recently, and I will bother you to help train and rectify the troops in preparation for the decisive battle. ”

Guan Yu was also excited and curious when he saw the Zhuge family.

He couldn't help but glance at Zhuge Liang, who had been remembered by his eldest brother for many times, "ten times more than Jin", to see what kind of person he was. On the other hand, he thanked Zhuge Jin again and again for his praise:

"What's the matter? I came half a month earlier than Mr., but I didn't make any meritorious achievements, nothing more than recapturing two poor small counties, which is really less than Mr. Chaisang's merit. ”

Zhuge Jin said sincerely: "Isn't it thanks to Yun Chang's prestige, which attracted the attention of the enemy army, and forced Zhen Rong to garrison heavy troops in Haiyang County, which caused Chaisang to be empty, and I won it, Yun Chang is carrying the heavy pressure of the enemy's main force, just like ......"

Zhuge Jin originally subconsciously wanted to say, "It's like destroying the Qin army, Xiang Yu is the most arduous hard battle to destroy the main force of the Qin army in Julu, as for Emperor Gao's stealing of Wuguan and Xianyang......"

But after thinking about it, this kind of example didn't seem to be politically correct in the Han Dynasty, so he could only stop dumbfounded and give up the example.

Fortunately, Guan Yu didn't care, he was already very satisfied with Zhuge Jin's previous statement, and he also regained his smugness.

Guan Yu couldn't help but think: "Sure enough, I attracted the main force of the enemy, so that Ziyu can make more meritorious contributions...... I heard that Naganning is also extremely brave, but it is definitely not as good as me. ”

While everyone was talking and laughing about the old days, they had been introduced into the city and rode their horses to the palace.

Zhuge Jin had already set up a feast to pick up the wind for his uncle and Guan Yu.
