Chapter 106: Striking the West, Touching the Dog and Stealing the Chicken

The two men carried the lieutenant to a spacious tent next to the main tent, and dug in the corner as he had said.

Dig a foot or so, dig out a cloth corner, Dian Wei pulled the cloth corner and lifted it directly, and struggled to pull out a burden the size of a grinding disc with the soil and sand.

After opening, there are gold cakes, jade jewelry, and many crown hats, brocade silks, etc.

The price of silk is about the same as gold, and even because it is used more than gold, sometimes the price is more expensive.

After the cloth is steamed, it is often used to pass on books to large households, record major events, or to write articles and discussions written by Confucian scholars.

Silk is a textile process, which is used to highlight the luxurious identity of the family, which is a luxury.

There were several complete pieces of cloth here, all of which were as valuable as gold, and Zhang Han could even find a few volumes of books.

Zhang Han picked up a volume and looked at it, and found that it was an easy-to-learn annotation, and after opening it and reading it for a while, it can be seen that the calligraphy of many annotations is very elegant, which is quite similar to his own, but what he writes is more elegant and wild, and no one can appreciate the wild grass in this era.

Zhang Zhushu is a decent person, and his calligraphy is the most ecstatic, and the same is true in other aspects.

Let's look at another volume, titled "Tsing Yi Fu", after Zhang Han opened it, the content of the small fu describes the love story of a woman from a humble background.

When he saw the author, Zhang Han was quite surprised, looked at the deputy general who was still covering his hands and muttering "my fingers", and asked in a deep voice: "This is written by Cai Yong, why can you get it?" ”

"This, after Cai Yong's ambush, his Chang'an mansion was raided, and it was lost from home, and there are many books scattered outside, and it is said that more than 4,000 volumes are lost, so I hid these, thinking that I could sell them for a good price."

"Those who care about it, the bid is high, and the one who doesn't care is worthless," Zhang Han forgot the content at a glance after reading it, this small fu is made by talent, and it doesn't have much literary significance, but with Cai Yong's name and seal, it will be valuable.

"How did this thing come out?"

"Guanzhong chaos, the Hu people went south to loot, foreign people rushed into Anyi to kill people and set fire, it is said that Hedong Wei is inevitable, this volume was lost by Cai Yong's widow at that time, those engraved on the tablet can't be taken away, these are okay, sir, you can take it if you like it......"

Where do you dare to ask for this pair, this package was originally secretly hidden underground by him, and when he can get a safe foothold in the future, he will find a way to come back and get it, after all, he will have to hand over part of it when he carries it back on his body, so it is better to hide it privately.

Unexpectedly, now they have all been plundered by the two bandits in front of them.

His heart was also bitter.

You scolded me for plundering the people, behaving inhumanely, and being a plague of bedbugs.

Then you rob me, for Heneng to speak so righteously.

"You just said that there are thieves in Hedong County who have entered and plundered? Even Weishi is not immune? ”

"I just know this news," the deputy general looked up and peeked at Zhang Han, and squeezed out a smile a little flatteringly: "Say it, can you change my life?" ”

"Yes," Zhang Han originally planned to kill him, so that these soldiers would have no leader at all, and could only obey him, after all, now that he had control of the grain, but since he begged for mercy, it was not impossible to consider.

"The Wei clan does not have many entrenchments in Hedong, and most of the family assets have secretly funded Yuan Shao to raise troops......" He touched his fingers and sat on the ground with difficulty, the pain made him grin, and after a pause, he continued: "Wei's son, Zhongdao, has long since died of illness, and only his widow is in charge of the family. ”

"Therefore, after the Hu people looted, they continued to go south in a vain attempt to plunder the ranks of the Son of Heaven, but were repelled by the soldiers and horses of Han Xian, Dong Cheng, and Yang Feng, leaving behind a lot of materials and money, but the people who looted were taken away."

"Now, they are still robbing houses in Hedong."

"Hmm...... I see. ”

Zhang Han thought about it, and immediately patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Go out and tell these soldiers, and take us to find the location of Li Dao's attack on Xu Huang." ”

"Good!"

……

Zhang Han distributed some food to the women who were looted in the camp, about thirty people, many of whom were rough-skinned but quite beautiful, and they all looked at Zhang Han with admiration.

Moreover, the arrival of this young handsome general gave them enough security.

If he left, it would be as if he had lost his sword with a full scabbard, and there was an indescribable worry and fear in the emptiness.

Therefore, Zhang Han divided ten cavalry as a team, and ordered them to gather the displaced people who were willing to go forward together along the way, and went east to meet Boss Cao.

At this time, if you go east, you may be able to meet it in one day.

After settling these women, Zhang Han continued to lead the troops to the north, because there were guides, so the progress was not slow, and he didn't see Li Dao's army gathered to attack.

When the outpost returned, he reported to Zhang Han the situation of the garrison in the distance, so he and Dian Wei went to see it in person, and saw on the hill that the soldiers and horses were besieging the city, and the defenders in the city were in danger.

"This ancient city is not a city that has lived for a long time, and it seems that they are difficult to support ......"

There was a cavalryman who was good at surveying the terrain next to him and said softly: "Sir, this ancient city is the remnants of the ruins left by migration, the Hongxing Lunar Calendar has been vicissitudes for many years, prosperous for hundreds of years, more than 100,000 households during the period of Emperor Wu, nearly 500,000 people, it can be described as prosperous and vast, so the city has been relocated." ”

"This ancient city is nameless, and before it has time to erase the traces or use it as another way, the world will be in chaos, and the court will have no money to repair it."

Zhang Han turned his head and glanced at him approvingly, not everyone is not as good at learning as Dian Wei, these cavalrymen are very literate, everyone can be roughly literate now, and a few of them can even carve maps.

The person in front of him is a talent who can remember a lot of important information when he is questioning.

"This city has been abandoned for many years, and there are no fortifications, so it can be seen that the defenders of the city entered the city before it was built in a hurry."

Zhang Han heard this analysis and nodded slightly.

But it can be seen that the front shouted to kill the heavens, and Li Wei's soldiers and horses continued to pour into the city, and they had already broken through the broken city gate, and many people went around to the side of the city wall and attacked through the cracks.

There are more ladders erected on the city wall, because the wall is not high, it is to keep climbing, the people in the city are stumbling left and right, it is difficult to guard, is losing and retreating, it is estimated that the city has to be abandoned and left, Zhang Han has been clear about the current situation at this time.

"Sir, shall we attack the rear to relieve the siege?"

Pawn Wei was immediately eager to try.

"Li Dao's foot soldiers and siege equipment are almost all there, his camp will definitely not be too far, it should be the cavalry chasing and surrounding the soldiers in the city, and then the army will rush to kill, I am sure that this one in the city is probably used as a bait to delay the opportunity for the Son of Heaven to escape to Anyi."

"When you arrive at Anyi, you can run all the way to the east, as long as there are soldiers and horses along the way to hinder Li Dao and Guo Yan's soldiers, you can escape all the way to Hangu Pass and return to Luoyang."

Zhang Han said firmly: "We will lead two armies, one to lead the army to attack the rear camp of Li Dao!" A group of rangers used cavalry to disrupt Li Dao's rear and attract his forces. ”

……

In the ancient city, a tall, dignified middle-aged military general walked on the city wall, not afraid of flying arrows, holding a knife in his right hand, and immediately wielding a knife to kill the soldiers who climbed the city wall.

Everywhere I passed, I always shouted loudly.

And the soldiers in front of him will become brave.

"Hold on, don't retreat!"

"All the people who came were colleagues of the year, but don't leave your hands! Li Dao conspired against him, intending to murder the Son of Heaven and fight against the thief! ”

"You should keep the festival of the people of the Han Dynasty, and you can't rebel for the thieves!"

"The eldest husband was born in the world, how can he be without a king and a father, disloyal and unfilial!"

Xu Huang has a strong physique, a straight face, and a voice like a bell, and every word not only inspires his own soldiers, but also constantly stimulates the Li Dao soldiers who attacked the city.

In the distance, Li Dao sent soldiers and horses to come one after another, and at this time there were almost enemy troops inside and outside the city, but he was still not afraid, occupied a high place, and rejected it with archers and swords.

Even if they can't hold it, they can kill the soldiers and horses in the city with the whole army, and then abandon the city and flee, but now it needs to delay a little time so that General Yang can escort the Son of Heaven to Anyi.

Maybe it will be able to lead to a return to the East.

Some time ago, among the people who persuaded General Yang to oppose Li Dao and escort the Son of Heaven, there was Xu Huang.

He believes that the hearts of the people are towards the Han, and the family and the people all yearn for the Han, and do not think that the Han will perish.

If you can escort the Son of Heaven to Luoyang, it will be a great achievement, and if you can guard the surroundings of Luoyang, you will be able to go down in history.

At this time, he saw a group of cavalry appear from the rear, and after a round of cavalry shooting, disrupted the formation of Li Dao's army.

Even shot and killed a lot of colonels and lieutenant generals who led the troops, Xu Huang didn't know where these cavalry came from, but the front of the soldiers was aimed at Li Dao, that is, friendly troops.

"Reinforcements have arrived!"

Xu Huang suddenly let out an earth-shattering shout, making all the soldiers in the city look into the distance, and everyone just glanced at it, and they could see that Li Wei's army was in chaos.

At this time, everyone, whether they saw it or not, shouted along, and the sound spread in an instant.

Not only the soldiers defending the city knew, but the soldiers and horses besieging the city also heard these shouts, and many people looked behind at the same time, and sure enough, they saw that the formation was in chaos, there were countless flying arrows, and the cavalry had been divided to chase and kill, and there were not many people around.

"When did Xu Huang leave soldiers and horses in the rear of our army!?"

"It must be another general's soldier."

"Hundreds of cavalry, only Guo Yan can send it now!?"

"The general and Guo Yan are great enemies, maybe now he has joined forces with Yang Feng, and our army is resting!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, Xu Huang is right! Everyone is the people of the Han Dynasty, but now they want to hunt down and rob the Son of Heaven, not the husband! ”

"Many of the people in the city, who were also with me, have led an army to attack today, which is not my wish! Withdraw first! ”

"Slow down, rescue our army!"

Someone listened to this point of view, and immediately decided not to continue the attack on the ancient city, but to waste his troops, get down from the climbing ladder, and gather to the rear to save him.

But by the time they arrived, the cavalry had almost disappeared.

After another half an hour of pursuit, he completely lost the trace of the cavalry, only to understand that he could no longer chase him.

Li Weixi Liangwu was dressed as a martial artist, with black armor and chest protection, long hair hanging down from the black belt on his forehead, his beard was redundant, his eyes were bloodshot, he suddenly slapped his thighs, and scolded a few words in anger.

When he led the troops back to the ancient city, Xu Huang built the city wall and gate with huge stones and wooden piles, and those gaps were also blocked by carrying collapsed ashlars.

In this way, the opportunity was missed, and the ancient city was about to be captured after a long attack, Xu Huang retreated, the distance was at least nearly eighty percent, and now if it is a detour to chase the Son of Heaven, it is estimated that it will take three more days to make the foot soldiers keep up.

However, now people are tired.

"Fuck, who the hell is sneaking up on you from behind! Guo Yan definitely doesn't have such a fast cavalry! ”

These cavalrymen were skilled in bowing horses, able to shoot their bows left and right, and were very stable on horseback, and their legs were so powerful that they were quite rare among those horseback peoples outside the Cypriots!

This look is because the bow horse has been skillfully cultivated since childhood, and there are more sophisticated armaments and good war horses, so that they can fight quickly, enter and exit quickly.

Before they could get ready, the cavalrymen had already gathered their hands and fledgled countless times.

"That's it! Return to the camp to resupply first! ”

Li Wei set up a temporary camp near the river, and could go back at any time to replenish supplies, eat, and then attack the city alternately.

Xu Huang has only more than 2,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and there must be a time when he is tired and collapses, as long as he attacks for a long time, he will definitely not be able to resist, and this blockade can be opened!

When he returned to the camp with his troops and was about to arrive, he suddenly saw a fire in the west, and Li Dao was shocked, "Quick! Get back to the fire! Fetch water from the river to fight the fire! ”

The battalion was guarded by old and weak soldiers, a thousand! All the baggage was taken away by the main force, and the camp was full of grain and grass!

If this fire starts, it will almost all be burned out!

He also thought it strange that if the camp was attacked, there should be a quick horse to report, but when the march came, he did not see any cavalry.

When Li Wei urged the horses to come and see, he finally understood the reason, not a single horse in the camp was gone, and the basins and buckets that could fetch water were also robbed, and the soldiers suffered extremely heavy casualties.

The ground was littered with arrows, indicating that the people who had come to raid the camp were in the same group as the cavalry that had been shooting in the rear of the army.

When he saw that the battalion had been destroyed, he was discouraged and his heart was struck.

Now the food that was finally looted is also cut off, and if you chase it down, there will be fewer and fewer soldiers and horses, and if there is no food, the soldiers will mutiny, and it will be difficult to protect your own life at that time.

He grabbed the general guarding the camp and angrily denounced his incompetence, "Why can't you even look down on a big battalion, what do I want you for!?" ”

"General, spare your life, spare your life! It's not my sin!! ”

"Whose sin is that, my sin?" Li Dao raised his knife and stood up, so angry that he wanted to cut off his head immediately, but the general quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"It's Li Dayou's old department, they fled back and deceived the gate of the camp, and then they were killed by hundreds of elite cavalry in black robes into the camp, we are the remnants of the army, and we can't fight at all!"

"These people were extremely fast, they set fire to money and food at the same time, and killed hundreds of brothers during this period, some of them were afraid of death and had fled, and then there were only a few dozen people in the camp!"

"Bastard!" Li Dao cut down directly, and the general fell in a pool of blood on the spot, this scene shocked the surrounding soldiers, and the surroundings fell silent.

"Who the hell is it!?"

"I'm going to get him out!! Abandon the camp! Come with me to grab food again! ”

Li Dao shouted loudly, and the soldiers behind him were thinking about each other, secretly looking at each other, but they didn't dare to say anything against it.

……

On the other hand, after Zhang Han returned with a full load, he led his troops to the ancient city and asked Xu Huang to speak under the city.

"This is a fierce general under the command of General Cao Cao of Dejian, Dian Wei!"

"Dian Wei!!" Xu Huang suddenly propped up the wall and poked his head out, and said with a smile: "But Dian Wei, who defeated Wen Hou!?" ”

"Exactly! The design of the retreat of Li Dao's soldiers and horses is to relieve the siege of your ancient city! ”

"Wait a minute, General! Akira opens the city immediately! ”

Zhang Han and Dian Wei glanced at each other and nodded secretly.

Defeated Lu Bu's reputation is indeed useful.

It's coming, it's going to be changed quickly, I've just come back with something, forgive my sins.

At the request of the old men, although history cannot be shaken, in the world of the book, the kind and talented Aunt Cai has been saved!
