The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 113 Chapter 113
Zhang Yan led the army all the way to the south, and retreated in a meandering way. Because he brought the people in Zhuxu City, he walked very slowly. It took two full days to reach Weishui.

Yuan Jun's scouts kept sending the latest news to Yuan Tan for two consecutive days. When Yuan Tan learned that Zhang Yan had really withdrawn his troops and had already arrived in Weishui, he was relieved.

As a result, there were no more barriers in Qingzhou, Yuan Tan was also very happy, and began to assign generals to station in various counties.

Yuan Tan appointed Zhang Nan as governor of Donglai, Jiang Qi as minister of Le'an, Chunyuqiong as minister of Jinan, Jiao Chu as minister of Beihai, Han Meng as governor of Pingyuan, and Guo Tu as minister of Qi.

As for Yan Liang and Zhang He, they were repatriated to Jizhou by Yuan Tan. After all, his father Yuan Shao still needed strong generals like Yan Liang and Zhang He.

As for himself, he took over as governor of Qingzhou and returned to Linzi, the capital of Qi, to garrison together with Guo Tu.

The 2-odd army under Yuan Tan was divided into six in an instant. At the beginning, Yuan Tan and Guo Tu personally led 500 troops to garrison outside Linzi, and only [-] troops were stationed in the other five places.

The army left at Zhuxucheng, Yan Liang and Zhang Yun bid farewell to Yuan Tan, and they went to Jizhou together.Han Meng, Chun Yuqiong, Jiang Qi, Zhang Nan, and Jiao Chu led 500 people to separate from Yuan Tan.

Xuzhou's scouts had been silently watching Yuan Jun's movements in the dark. When they saw Yuan Jun split into six, they immediately reported the news to Zhang Yan who was stationed by the Weishui River.

When Zhang Yan heard the news, he smiled happily. On the one hand, he asked Kong Rong, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei to lead the people of Zhuxucheng back to Zhuxucheng. Ba led the army to attack Jinan, Le'an, and Pingyuan. After destroying Han Meng, Chunyuqiong, and Jiang Qi, he attacked Linzi eastward and flanked Linzi back and forth with him.

After the plan was decided, Zhang Yan led Zhang Hong, Tai Shici, Xu Chu, Xu Sheng, Niu Jin and others back to Beihai, preparing to defeat them one by one.

That night, Zhang Yan took all the cavalry and marched lightly, leaving all the armor to Xu Sheng, Niu Jin and others to escort them to Zhuxu City.

According to the report from the scouts, after Yuan Jun left, Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch did not leave, but temporarily stationed in Zhuxu City.

Since there were no enemy troops around, Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch also relaxed their vigilance. The two were old friends. Now that Yuan Tan and the others have left, they have nothing to worry about. practice.

Both soldiers and horses were so drunk that almost everyone fell asleep.

When Zhang Yan led Tai Shici, Xu Chu and other cavalry to Zhuxu City, they asked about Xuntian's alcohol smell before they approached.Seeing that Yuan Jun was unprepared, they killed a few Yuan Jun who were guarding the night, then climbed over the city wall, and opened the city gate secretly. Immediately afterwards, he rushed into Zhuxu City with lightning speed.

Yuan Jun in Zhuxu City was all drunk, and suddenly heard a scream of killing, and was awakened, but because he drank too much, even if he stood up, he swayed here and there, without any resistance at all ability.

Both Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch were sleeping in the county government office. When they heard the commotion outside, they woke up one after another and reluctantly got out of bed. They felt top-heavy and fell to the ground instead.

But at this moment, the door was full of flames, and the door was kicked open. Xuzhou soldiers with bloody weapons rushed in directly, and tied Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch Wuhuada who were drunk.

From the time Xuzhou soldiers entered the city to the end of the battle, the whole process was less than half an hour. The drunk Yuan Jun had no ability to resist and could only be captured without a fight. take care of.

In this sneak attack, Zhang Yan and the others were bloodless, and none of his subordinates were killed or injured. They beheaded Level 56, and the rest of Yuan Jun were all captured.

That night, Zhang Yan rested in Zhuxu City, waiting for the arrival of Xu Sheng, Niu Jin, Kong Rong and others.

At dawn, Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch woke up from their drunkenness. When they opened their eyes, they saw being tied up by Wuhuada. They were all confused for a while, and no one could figure out what was going on.

After a while, Xuzhou soldiers heard the noise and entered the big tent, only then did Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch know that they were all captured last night.

And they were also very puzzled, why did Xuzhou soldiers go and come back again?

At this moment, Zhang Nan, Jiao Touch and the others have already become prisoners. If they had known this would happen earlier, they would not have been drinking if they were killed last night. They really regretted it.

At Chenshi, Xu Sheng, Niu Jin, Kong Rong and others arrived at Zhuxu City one after another. Zhang Yan greeted them at the gate of the city and welcomed them all into the city.

Afterwards, Zhang Yan asked people to bring Zhang Nan, Jiao Touch and other captives to the school grounds, asked Zhang Nan, Jiao Touch and others whether to surrender or not, and told Zhang Nan, Jiao Touch and others that if they surrendered, they would be saved. If you don't surrender, there is only one dead end.

Zhang Nan and Jiao Chu were the first to surrender in order to survive, and the soldiers under them also followed suit and expressed their willingness to surrender.

After Zhang Yan surrendered Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch, he still let Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch lead the original troops, and sent Zhang Nan as an envoy to Linzi to persuade Yuan Tan to surrender.

Zhang Nan received the order, rode his horse, and hurried to Linzi, while Zhang Yan led the army to drive away Jiao Chu and other surrendered troops, and went to Linzi.

Kong Rong was very grateful for Zhang Yan's actions and came here to see Zhang Yan off.

At the gate of Zhuxu City, Kong Rong asked someone to bring fine wine, filled three cups of wine, and said to Zhang Yan: "Zhang Shijun is righteous, Bo Yuntian, and generously rescued me. He not only helped me out of the siege, but also replaced me. Going to conquer Yuan Tan, Wen Ju was very grateful, and asked Mr. Zhang to drink the three cups of wine. Wen Ju secretly prayed for Mr. Zhang, hoping that Mr. Zhang would win the battle and return in triumph."

Seeing the sincerity on Kong Rong's face, Zhang Yan picked up the wine glass and drank the three glasses of wine in one gulp.

"With Kong Beihai's words, I believe I can drive Yuan Tan out of Qingzhou!" Zhang Yan clasped his fists.

Kong Rong said: "If Mr. Zhang can really drive Yuan Tan out of Qingzhou, I am willing to unite with other counties and countries to enshrine Mr. Zhang as the shepherd of Qingzhou!"

"I'm already Xuzhou Shepherd, how can this Qingzhou Shepherd also be in charge? Kong Beihai is highly respected and well-known in the country, so Kong Beihai should be the Qingzhou Shepherd." Zhang Yan said politely.

Kong Rong said: "It's okay to write, dance, write and write. If you want to talk about the stability of the country and the safety of one side, it is far inferior to Zhang Shijun. Zhang Shijun is young and promising. He has already taken charge of Xuzhou. If he can also take charge of Qingzhou, With the majestic appearance of Qingzhou and Xuzhou, they are bound to be able to achieve great things. Now that the world is in turmoil and the heroes are divided, doesn't Zhang Shijun really have any ambition to rule the roost?"

Hearing Kong Rong's sudden question, Zhang Yan chuckled, but without making any answer, he cupped his hands and said, "Kong Beihai, it's getting late, and I should be on my way. We'll meet later!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yan turned around and left, turned over and jumped onto the back of the black cloud riding snow horse, shouted "drive", and galloped out.

Kong Rong looked at Zhang Yanyuan's back, his eyes showed admiration, and he seemed to have high hopes for Zhang Yan.

Not long after Zhang Yan and the others left, Liu Bei brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Kong Rong's side, and said in unison, "I'm here to bid farewell to Kong Beihai."

Kong Rong turned his head and looked over, but saw that Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were all carrying their bags, and twenty or thirty personal attendants were also carrying their bags, following behind Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.

He frowned, and hurriedly asked, "Xuande, where are you going?"

Liu Bei said: "Now that the siege of Beihai has been lifted, Mr. Zhang led the army to Linzi to drive away Yuan Tan. I will stay here to disturb Kong Beihai for many days. If I continue to disturb, I will always feel sorry. Jingzhou Mu Liubiao and I are both relatives of the Han family. I want to go to join him. He may give me an official position for the sake of the same clan. Moreover, Jingzhou is far away from the Central Plains, and the public security is stable. It is also a good place to avoid chaos. .”

Seeing that Liu Bei had made up his mind to go, Kong Rong said, "Since you have already made a decision, I will not keep you anymore. Xuande, you have great ambitions, benevolence, righteousness and loyalty, but you have never had a good time. Once the time comes, we will I believe that with the talent of Xuande, it will surely become prosperous. My place is already full of devastation, wars continue, and it is not a place for you to stay for a long time. You may find a good way out by going to Jingzhou. Jingzhou is far away from here, and there is no road Why is it so peaceful, you must be more careful when you go on this trip, I met Liu Jingsheng once in the capital, I can write him a letter, you go with my letter, I believe Liu Jingsheng will take good care of you of."

Liu Bei said, "Then there is Lao Kong Beihai."

Kong Rong immediately asked someone to bring a pen and paper, and he immediately wrote a letter with a brush, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Liu Bei.

This is a letter of recommendation. Kong Rong has always been a good man, and Liu Bei is a man with great ambitions. There is no future for him, so he wrote a letter and recommended him to Liu Biao.I hope that after reading this letter, Liu Biao will entrust Liu Bei with a heavy responsibility, which can be regarded as repaying Liu Bei's kindness for leading the army to save Beihai twice.

Liu Bei took the letter, bid farewell to Kong Rong with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, then left Zhuxu City and headed for Jingzhou.

Liu Bei, who left Zhuxu City, was full of worries. He was even more sad along the way, and lamented the injustice of life in his heart. So he opened his mouth and shouted: "The road is long and the road is long. I will search up and down..."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei couldn't understand what Liu Bei was saying, but seeing Liu Bei's appearance, he knew that Liu Bei must be feeling bad.

In the hearts of the two of them, they have been thinking about one thing, that is, if they continue to wander like this, where will they end up...

The group of people walked for a while, and suddenly someone came up from behind. It was Kong Rong's personal attendant, who brought some gold and silver, saying that this was Kong Rong's wish, please Liu Bei not to refuse.

Liu Bei took the gold and silver and was very grateful to Kong Rong...
