Han Shimou

() More than a thousand Wu soldiers galloped around on flying horses, continuously setting fire to burn food, the fire continued to surge, and the surrounding lights suddenly lit up.Seeing that more than half of the grain trucks are empty.At this moment, waves of shouting and killing erupted in front of them like overwhelming rivers and seas.Zhang Jai first led thousands of cavalry to kill him. Seeing the grain carts being burned, Zhang Jai was so angry that his face was ferocious. Under the flames, seeing Lu Meng brutally killing his own soldiers and horses, his anger rushed to his throat and he shouted desperately.

"Lu Ziming, you are courting death!!!"

As soon as Zhang Jai finished speaking, he sat down on the BMW and galloped around, looking like an arrow off the string, looking at Lu Meng flying to kill him.Lu Meng opened his jaw and yelled angrily, the whole mountain forest seemed to be shaking, his heart was shocked, he didn't dare to hesitate, he turned his horse and ordered the troops to withdraw.Seeing Lu Meng trying to escape, Zhang Jai gritted his teeth angrily and cursed repeatedly.Lu Meng ignored it, and led his troops to rush in from the east path that he had just rushed in.The Zhangja Lion's eyes burst open, and he frantically chased after him.Lü Meng led his troops across an intersection, suddenly dozens of Wu soldiers on both sides rolled out a lot of firewood, and the cavalry soldiers in front threw dozens of torches back one after another. , Suddenly burst into the sky bursting flames.Seeing this, Zhang Jaw's complexion changed drastically, he hastily reined in the horse, and the soldiers behind them also stopped the horses in a panic, bumping into each other all of a sudden, people turned their backs on their backs, and screamed in alarm.Those dozens of Wu soldiers immediately climbed to the two hillsides, and soon disappeared into the night.Zhang Jai saw the fire in front of him, Wu Bing gradually fled away, trembling with anger, smashed his helmet suddenly, and shouted angrily. ..

"Lu Ziming, remember it for me!! Today's humiliation, I, Zhang Junyi, will definitely pay it back ten times in the future!!!"

But Cao Zhen was chasing after Quan Cong's Wu soldiers, but Quan Cong was also cunning, taking Cao Zhen to scatter around by taking advantage of his familiarity with the terrain.Cao Zhen was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he chased after him frantically.Gradually, there were fewer and fewer cavalry around Cao Zhen. When Cao Zhen came to his senses, there were only less than a few thousand horses and horses around him, and most of the rest were scattered in the mountains and forests.It's dark now, Cao Zhen chased him hastily just now, and he didn't bring much torches.Cao Zhen was afraid of being ambushed, so he quickly taught the soldiers to light torches, and dozens of torches were lit.

At this moment, under the light of the fire, suddenly a group of men and horses rushed towards him. The leading general was not Quan Cong, but a major general wearing a green robe and holding a treasure gun. It was Zhu Ran.Cao Zhen's complexion changed, and he secretly thought something was wrong.It turned out that after Zhu ran fled, he saw that Zhang Jai had not come to pursue him, so he followed Lu Meng's plan and led his troops to the agreed place.Just at this moment, Quan Cong brought Cao Zhen over.

Knowing that Cao Zhen had hit the trick, he couldn't dare to be negligent at the moment. He suddenly shouted, ordered the troops to withdraw, and fled with his horse.Zhu Ran smiled coldly, reined in his horse, and shot Cao Zhen to death.Cao Zhen stared wide-eyed, twisted his long spear and stabbed wildly.Zhu Ran twisted his gun to meet each other, and the two killed for more than ten rounds.Suddenly, there was another burst of shouting and killing, and it was Quan Cong who led his troops back to kill.Now, the two armies of the Wu army attacked back and forth, and the Wei army was in chaos. Cao Zhen turned pale with fright. The remnant soldiers broke through and left.Zhu Ran galloped his horse in pursuit, and Quan Cong also led his troops to kill him. Wei's soldiers scattered in all directions, and the screams were earth-shattering.After Zhu Ran and Quan Cong pursued and killed them for a while, Wei's soldiers had lost nearly a thousand soldiers.Zhu Ran's complexion darkened, he blocked Quan Cong with his gun, and said calmly.

"Wei Kou's troops are so powerful, we can't go in rashly, just now I saw the flames rising in the mountains, I think General Lu has already succeeded. Zihuang, let's retreat first!!"

When Quan Cong heard this, his face turned cold, he looked at the direction Cao Zhen was leaving with hatred, and shouted in a cold voice.

"Hmph! It's cheap, this Cao family dog ​​thief!!"

Quan Cong obeyed Zhu Ransu's words, turned his horse around immediately, and retreated with Zhu Ran.In the middle of the night, the fire was gradually extinguished, and Lu Meng's fire could burn up half of the team's luggage. Fortunately, Zhang Jai arrived in time, scared back Lv Meng's army, and ordered the soldiers to put out the fire.Zhang Jaw's face was extremely heavy, and when Cao Zhen led the remnant soldiers back, he quickly got off his horse and knelt down on the ground begging for mercy.The lion's eyes were red and red, and he scolded angrily.

"When our army first came, you had a heavy responsibility to guard the luggage. Don't you know how to take precautions!? Now that you have lost so much luggage, it's all due to your dereliction of duty!! But selfishness is in vain, and all are dealt with by military law to prove the law!! You can end it yourself!!"

After opening his jaw and drinking, he suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and smashed it to the ground. With a crisp sound of 'bang', Cao Zhen couldn't help shivering in fright. Seeing the cold face with his jaw open, it didn't seem like a threat.Cao Zhen suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice abyss, his whole body shivered from the cold, his teeth trembled, and his tears flowed like springs, but he didn't beg for mercy again.Zhang Jaw had a cold face, and secretly looked at Cao Zhen from the corner of his eye. Seeing Cao Zhen like this, most of the anger in his heart disappeared.At this time, General Pi, a member beside Zhang Jaw, persuaded him in a low voice.

"General, this Cao Wenlie is His Majesty's adopted son, and he is deeply loved by His Majesty and all the royal family members. Although His Majesty ordered earlier, everything is serious. But if the general really executes Cao Wenlie, even if His Majesty does not blame him, other emperors The pro-clan will also secretly resent the general."

Hearing the words, Zhang Jai was shocked, he sighed, and was about to open his mouth.Suddenly, Cao Zhen suddenly picked up the sword on the ground, and shouted with shame on his face.

"The general has failed His Majesty's high expectations, and now I will offer my head to apologize!!"

After Cao Zhen finished drinking, he twisted his sword and hoped that his neck would be chopped off.Seeing this, Zhang Jai stretched out his hand abruptly, grabbed Cao Zhen's arm with one hand, and then made a knife-like hand with the other hand, knocking out the sword in Cao Zhen's hand, and shouted in a cold voice.

"I thought you were still a man, but I didn't expect you to be so incompetent!"

"A soldier can be killed and cannot be humiliated!! General Zhang, don't want to humiliate me!!"

When Cao Zhen heard this, his eyes burst into anger, and he roared desperately.Zhang Jaw's face was cold, his lion eyes looked at Cao Zhen coldly, and said coldly.

"You are not afraid of death. Our army is employing people right now. Why don't you stay useful, realize your shame and be brave, and make meritorious service and avenge your shame in the future!"

Hearing this, Cao Zhen saw a soft look in Zhang Jai's eyes, and his heart was shocked, knowing that Zhang Jai intended to spare him, sobbing.

"Your Majesty has orders!!"

"Don't worry too much! Zhang will report this matter to His Majesty. You go and clean it up first, and you can make up for it in the future, and His Majesty will naturally not pursue it."

Before Cao Zhen finished speaking, Zhang Jaw interrupted sharply.Cao Zhen vaguely saw a bit of concern in the stern expression of Zhang Jaw, he was very grateful in his heart, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, remembering this great kindness.Zhang Jai sighed, waved his hands, and then issued orders to each of the generals, telling them to prepare for themselves.The night was about to pass, and the sky gradually brightened.Zhang Jai set up a camp in the northeast of Nanchang City and rested first.

But it is said that Zhang Jaw is outside Nanchang City, surrounded by mountains and forests, and built more than ten stockades.After Cao Zhenjing's previous setbacks, his spirit was greatly restrained, and he did everything by himself, carefully deploying defenses.Sun Quan sent people to investigate again and again, but Cao Zhen found out all of them and captured many spies.Hearing that, Zhang Jaw was also pleased.

A few days later, Cao Cao and Xia Houyuan arrived with troops and horses. There were more than 20 soldiers from Wei and Wei, and there were huge crowds of people in all directions.Zhang Jah hurriedly led all the generals out to meet him.In a few moments, Cao Cao, supported by the Tiger Guards, went to the village first, and taught the generals to lead their troops into the village.Zhang Jai and others are about to finish the worship, and please Cao Cao to enter the account.After a while, all the generals sat down, and Cao Cao asked about Zhang Jaw's past in the high hall.Zhang Jaw didn't dare to hide anything, so he told them one by one.Cao Zhen knelt on the ground in a hurry, kowtowed and pleaded guilty.Cao Cao was furious when he heard the words, and wanted to kill the two men in order to clarify the military law.All the officials hurried out to persuade each other, because they were exempted.For this reason, Zhang Jai was demoted by Cao Cao and fined one year's salary.Cao Zhen was exempt from death, but hard to forgive for living. After that, he repeatedly captured the Wu thief and made up for it.Although Cao Zhen was severely punished, he had no complaints. He knew that Cao Cao wanted to protect each other, but he couldn't make it too obvious. For Cao Zhen, Cao Zhen was not afraid of the Thirty Army Sticks.As for the military position, Cao Zhen is confident that with his own ability and Cao Cao's love for him, it won't take long for him to recover.After the punishment, Cao Cao shouted to open his jaw and return to his seat, but Cao Zhen was beaten to pieces and went back to his tent to rest.

Cao Cao looked around at the crowd, with a dignified expression, he snorted coldly, but he put the matter aside and said slowly.

"According to what Yuyi reported, Biyan'er has set up a tight defense in Nanchang City. Nanchang City's defenses are well-equipped. Not only have the gates of the city been reinforced, but they have also been repaired. They are tall and thick. The moats are several feet wide, and there are deep ditches outside the city. The earth barriers are criss-crossed and criss-crossed, making it difficult to march. Nanchang is the most important place in Soochow. As long as we break through this city, I can follow the plan of Yuyi earlier, and then divide the troops to attack, and conquer the land of Jiangdong as soon as possible. In your opinion , what should we do now!?"

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Xia Houyuan's tiger eyes stared at him immediately, and he attended with great emotion, and shouted sharply.

"Your Majesty, why worry too much!! Our army is so powerful, how can the mere city of Nanchang resist!? We can quickly pull out troops and surround Nanchang, and Nanchang can be conquered in less than half a month!!"

After Xia Houyuan finished drinking, the generals under his command came out angrily one after another, and they all wanted to fight and make meritorious service.When Cao Cao saw this, he frowned and fell silent.Zhang Jaw rushed out and said.

"Wu Thief has been prepared for a long time, and he also knows that Nanchang is critical, and he will definitely protect it with all his might. If our army is strong and attacks it, I am afraid that it will cost a lot of troops. What's more, the previous Wu thief burned a lot of our army's luggage. If the battle is delayed , food shortage, what to do!?"

When Cao Cao heard the words, his expression changed, and he knew the advantages and disadvantages, so he nodded and said.

"Yi Yi's words are reasonable. Now when our army first arrives and travels long distances, let's rest first and recharge our batteries. The so-called know yourself and the enemy, and you will win every battle. In the past few days, I will go to investigate first to see how Nanchang's defenses are. Let’s figure out what’s next.”

Cao Cao had made up his mind, and all the generals agreed after hearing the words, not daring to make further entanglements.The next day, Cao Cao led his troops as the front team and rushed to a high slope seven or eight miles outside Nanchang City. Looking from a distance, he saw that Nanchang City is vast and vast, with soldiers and horses scattered all over the gates of the city.

Weapons are densely covered, and people are rushing.It is also seen that the moat under the city is deep, wide and long, and there are deep ditches and earth barriers around the city, making it difficult to enter.

Cao Cao looked at it, his brows were deeply furrowed, and he opened his jaw, and Jiang Wei sighed.

"If I knew that Nanchang City is so dangerous, I would not send troops to enter here. It has already taken a lot of time now, and if I pull out my troops, it will take at least several months! By then, I am afraid that Xichuan will fall to Xitang early. hand. Too late to regret!"

After Cao Cao's words fell, Jiang Wei's eyes flickered, silently looking at Nanchang City in front of him, his brows were furrowed, and he didn't respond.As for Zhang Jaw, he cupped his hands and bowed, with a serious face, and said in a concentrated voice.

"The soldiers have arrived here, Your Majesty should not worry about it. You can think about it in the long run."

When Cao Cao heard this, his face was troubled, so he led his troops back to the stronghold.But he didn't know that his whereabouts had been discovered by Wu Bing's secret sentry ambushing around the foot of the mountain.Let's say Cao Cao went back to the stronghold and thought about it all night, but he didn't get a good plan.The next day, Cao Cao got on his horse and took Zhang Jai and Jiang Wei with dozens of horsemen to see Nanchang City.Dozens of horses turned around the hillside, and saw the majestic Nanchang City, which looked like a giant beast lying on the ground.Cao Cao looked at it for a long time, raised his whip and pointed, and sighed.

"It's so strong, it's hard to get off!!"

Nanchang City is well-prepared, the terrain is steep, and it is difficult to march. In addition, the city is strong and well-prepared.Even though Cao Cao had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, he still found it difficult.As soon as the words were finished, there were suddenly countless shouts of killing at the foot of the mountain, and arrows burst into the air, shooting violently from between the cracks in the trees.Several Wei soldiers couldn't escape from their horses, and fell off their horses screaming miserably.Cao Cao's complexion changed, he narrowed his eyes, and saw an arrow piercing towards his heart. With a crisp sound of 'bang', a ray of light like a silver-colored horse passed by, breaking the cold arrow in an instant.When Cao Cao came back to his senses, someone shouted urgently in his ear.

"Your Majesty, there are Wu thieves ambushing at the foot of the mountain, retreat quickly!"

Cao Cao fixed his eyes and found that the person who was yelling was Jiang Wei.At this time, groups of people and horses galloped on the mountain road.Cao Cao didn't dare to be negligent, he reined in his horse suddenly, and fled after looking back.Jiang Wei's eyes were sharp, he shouted loudly, and patted his horse to meet him quickly. Although he rode one by one, he seemed to have the power of thousands of troops.In an instant, Jiang Wei had charged into the crowd of Wu soldiers, and the Crescent Silver Halberd struck like a shock, sending out patches of blood and rushing straight all the way.Wu soldiers surrounded him, but they couldn't withstand Jiang Wei's fierce and swift attack.Wherever Jiang Wei went, there was a blast and chaos.At this moment, two angry shouts erupted from the crowd.
