Ji Han Liu Zhang

In the early morning, the sun rose from the east and had just revealed half of its face, so the sky was still a little dark and the surrounding areas were not very bright. Not to mention that Shangyong's prison only had a small window about a foot long, so the light in the prison was dim.

Living in such a prison, Wenpin could hardly tell the difference between dawn and sunset, especially on rainy days in autumn. Fortunately, the sun was good today, and soon the sun showed most of its face from the east, shining light from the east. The small window of the prison was projected into the prison, providing a little warmth to the small and humid prison. At the same time, it clearly told Wen Pin that it was daylight and it was daytime.

But although the sky is getting brighter, Wenpin doesn't know what to do, practice martial arts? I don't have enough to eat every day. If I exercise forcefully and exhaust my energy, I am afraid that my whole body will collapse and my life may be in danger. So Wenpin just sat cross-legged, quietly waiting for the sunset, waiting for today to pass and tomorrow to arrive, and so he got through another day.

After learning martial arts, he became a member of the emperor's family.

Wenpin sighed softly, it was in vain that he practiced martial arts in his early years, worked hard, and thought about building a career and doing something that would leave a name in history. But there was a gap between reality and dreams, and now he was Trapped in jail, living a life worse than a pig or a dog.

'Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. '

Wenpin half-squinted his eyes and recited the names of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. Although Wenpin did not show his anger towards Cai Mao and Zhang Yun in front of Wensan, he just accepted everything calmly. But this does not mean that Wenpin was not a little bit angry at Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's behavior of taking the blame, especially when he dedicated his horse to Cai Mao to help Cai Mao escape.

This is how Cai Mao and Zhang Yun repaid him for his life-saving grace. Not only did he not save him, but he also put the blame on him...

After Cai Mao and Zhang Yun manipulated him in this way, Wenpin thought that he had no way back to Jingzhou. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun would not send anyone to ransom him or give him a chance to defend himself. As for his family, , Wenpin expected that he must have been implicated and had no chance to raise money to redeem himself.

Moreover, Wenpin expected that even if he returned to Jingzhou, he would still be guilty of the crime of being defeated and losing his army. Cai Mao, Zhang Yun were all relatives of Liu Biao, and they were all closer to him than an outsider. Even if he made a fuss about his defense, , the blame should still be shouldered.

In this case, Wenpin has only one way to go, and that is to join the wealthy Shen family and work for the Shen family in exchange for his own life. Otherwise, he does not know how long he will stay in prison, or whether the Shen family will One day, he was unhappy and cut off his head to prevent him from wasting Shen's rice.

Either surrender, or wait to die.

Wenpin didn't want to die. He was still young and wanted to make contributions and do something great. He didn't want to die just like that. But Wenpin was even more unwilling to surrender to the Shen family. A good bird chooses wood to rest, and the Shen family is just a thorn and withered grass. That's all, he is unwilling to serve the Shen family even if he dies.

Just wait to die like this. Wenpin had already made up his mind and planned to live like this until the day he died.

"Boom, boom, boom."

"Clang, clang, clang."

Several ethereal sounds of golden drums reached Wenpin's ears, which made him feel refreshed and his eyes lit up. He had been in battle for a long time and was very sensitive to the sounds of golden drums. He had already formed a conditioned reflex. He stood up from the ground and put his ear close to the wall, trying to listen in more detail to what was going on outside.

The sound of the golden drum means there is a war, and the war in Shangyong is naturally related to Jingzhou. This is an opportunity for Wenpin, an opportunity to escape from prison. Wensan is in the same room with him. Naturally, he also noticed the sound of the golden drum. Wen San's face was filled with joy. He followed Wen Pin's example and put his ear close to the wall of the cell, listening attentively.

But soon, the sound of the golden drum seemed to be getting farther and farther away from the two of them, and gradually disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

"It's an expedition." Wenpin made a judgment.

Wen San was surprised. He didn't like Cai Mao at all, so he called Cai Mao by his name: "Although Cai Mao suffered a small defeat in the front, he still has more troops than the Shen family, and Cai Mao will definitely invite reinforcements from Xiangyang. To confront the Shen family with a force twice that of the Shen family, and to safely eliminate the Shen family... How could it be the Shen family's turn to send troops to attack Cai Mao?"

"Maybe the Shen family has brought reinforcements, or maybe the Shen family is using offense as a defense." Wenpin analyzed it and came up with two possible scenarios. He had been imprisoned for some time, and while in prison, he said What happened between them was that his eyes were completely dark, and he could only make vague calculations.

"Reinforcements?" Wen San frowned and thought for a moment, then he shook his head: "Zhang Lu, who was nominally serving the Shen family, was attacked by Liu Yizhou, and he was unable to do anything. How could there be any extra troops sent to Shangyong to assist the Shen family? ...It should be that the Shen family wanted to use offense instead of defense, and struggled to the death."

The understanding of the external situation was still based on Wen San's conclusion that Zhang Lu was attacked by Liu Zhang and Shangyong was attacked by Cai Mao. "Maybe." Wenpin nodded slightly. If the situation outside was still the same as before he was imprisoned, then Shen would be taking the path of attacking instead of defending, and defended the land of Shangyong by attacking Cai Mao.

But here Wenpin was a little hesitant. The sound of the golden drum he heard outside was very exciting, not tragic, which meant that the Shen family had not reached the point of fighting to the death, but instead confidently sent troops to fight Cai Mao. war.

Strange... Wenpin couldn't figure it out and looked confused.

……

Outside Fangling City, Cai Hao was wearing a golden helmet and silver armor. His outfit shone brightly in the sunlight, making people afraid to look directly at him. Otherwise, the sunlight reflected from Cai Hao's silver armor would hurt his eyes and fall down. The result of being unable to see for a short period of time.

"This time we will definitely defeat the Shen family, capture Shangyong, and wash away the shame of a small defeat in front of us." Cai Hao held up his riding whip and directed the army to advance, making bold words.

After receiving 5,000 elite soldiers sent from Xiangyang, he now had more than 10,000 elite soldiers in his hands. However, he sent scouts and found out that the Shen family only had 3,000 or 4,000 soldiers, and they could only escape to Zhang Lu's tent in Shangyong. With three to four thousand men, his troops, equipment, food and supplies were not as good as relying on the mountain of Jingzhou. He thought that as long as he marched carefully, he could naturally save the face he had lost due to the ambush in front of him.

Zhang Yun agreed: "What General Zhonglang said is true. This battle will be won. When the time comes, we will kill Shen Jingzhuang, and hang the heads of Shen Gong, Shen Yi, and Shen Yun on the top of Shangyong City for others to see." Don’t dare to underestimate me, Jingzhou, and don’t dare to underestimate you, General Zhonglang.”

"Yes." Cai Mao nodded with a smile on his face, and began to think: "And Zhang Lu? When the time comes, capture Zhang Lu alive, and send Zhang Lu to Liu Yizhou with weapons, so that Liu Yizhou can make up for his failure to capture Zhang Lu, the culprit. It's a pity... If Liu Yizhou relied on us to take Zhang Lu, I don't think he would have the courage to ask for Xicheng and Shangyong counties."

"Yes, yes." Zhang Yun patted his thigh and followed Cai Mao's words: "The troubles in Hanzhong and Zhang Lu were caused by our Jingzhou. Xicheng and Shangyong counties are our reward for Jingzhou. How could Liu Yizhou do it?" You have the nerve to reach out to us and ask for Xicheng and Shangyong."

Here, Cai Mao and Zhang Yunyan smiled and had beautiful thoughts about the future. Over there, the magistrate of Fangling County, Kuai Qi, at the head of Fangling City, had a bitter look on his face. He saw Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's behavior. In this story, after an ambush defeat, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun did not know how to restrain themselves, put away their arrogant and wild nature, and still regarded the Shen family as nothing.

By the way, now the Shen family has Zhang Lu, but Zhang Lu is just a lost dog in the eyes of Cai Hao and Zhang Yun. Cai and Zhang looked down upon Zhang Lu, who was defeated by Liu Yizhou, and thought that Zhang Lu was defeated by Liu Yizhou. Lu was defeated by Liu Yizhou, which showed that Zhang Lu was too weak and had nothing to take to heart.

The general was so proud, and Kuai Qi was really worried. As the old saying goes: "Arrogant soldiers will be defeated." 'If Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, who have already been defeated once, are defeated again, I'm afraid it won't be the result of the previous defeat and the retreat to Fangling. The Shen family and Zhang Lu combined to have sufficient strength against the enemy, and they may take advantage of it. Come to attack Fangling with the victory...

Kuai Qi didn't dare to think about it anymore. He sighed softly, hoping that he was just thinking too much and was too unfounded.

Seeing Cai Mao and Zhang Yun leading the army away, Kuai Qi ordered people to close the city gate of Fangling, stop at the top of the city and look into the distance, waiting for Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's response.

Although Cai Mao and Zhang Yun still didn't take Shen seriously and ignored Zhang Lu who fled to Shangyong, after all, they had suffered a loss and they also had some memories. When walking on the mountain road, they were far away. The scouts were released, and the scouts were constantly patrolling in all directions of the army's march to avoid being ambushed again.

At this time, news came back from the former army, saying that the former army had repulsed an army holding the banner of the Shen family, and asked for orders whether to continue the pursuit.

"Again?" After Cai Mao was stunned for a moment, anger surfaced on his face, and he cursed: "Did Shen think that I am a pig? Is this the same trick that I will fall for again?" "

"Not a human son." Zhang Yun's chest was filled with anger. Shen had set up an ambush in front of them, which had frustrate them for a while. Now, he had come up with a plan to deceive and set up an ambush. She was extremely contemptuous of him. IQ, think of him as a dolphin dog with a memory of only three to five days.

"Chasing a bullshit." Cai Mao cursed at the soldier who reported the news: "Tell Lieutenant Li of the front army to be careful and not to chase Shen's defeated army. Send out more scouts. You must conduct a clear investigation before advancing... Tell Li Captain, if you are ambushed by the enemy, prepare his head."

After the warning, Cai Hao felt that the fire was not enough, so he added a threatening word.

"Promise, promise, promise." The soldier who came to report the news promised repeatedly. Facing the anger of Cai Mao, the lieutenant general, how could he, a soldier, bear it? He could only agree quickly, then turned around and fled, passing Cai Mao's words to Lieutenant Li of the former army went. (End of chapter)
