Chapter 61 061
(PS: I moved in the past two days, and the update is a bit slow, please forgive me, I will definitely update it when the residence is settled.)
After Zhang Yan ordered the army to clean up the battlefield, scouts came to report that Yu Jin had led the remnant army to Changyi.

Zhang Yan made a decisive decision. After some planning, he decided to lead the cavalry to attack Changyi alone, and sent Chen Ying to attack Kangfu, Xu Sheng to attack Juye, and Mi Fang to attack Rencheng. Capture the dangerous place in the east of Yanzhou and cut off Cao Cao's retreat route from Xuzhou.

After the order was issued, Zhang Yan gathered all the cavalry to chase Yujin in the starry night. Once Yujin arrived in Changyi, Changyi would take precautions, and it would be much more difficult to attack again.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he not only wanted to capture Yujin, but also occupied Changyi.

Changyi is a big city in Yanzhou. It is not only the county seat of Shanyang County, but also the governor's seat of Yanzhou, and it is also a place where money and food are gathered.

Now Cao Cao is attacking Xuzhou with all his strength. After Cao Ren's defeat, Yanzhou's rear is empty, which happened to be cheap for Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan led the cavalry ahead that night, from Gaoping County all the way westward, following the horseshoe prints left by Yu Jin, and pursued Yu Jin.

Zhang Yan was restless along the way, and Yu Pingming arrived at Fangyu County. There were not many soldiers in the county. Faced with the sudden arrival of Xuzhou soldiers, they had no power to resist, and Fangyu County surrendered without a fight.

He rested for a while in Fangyu County, and after a delicious meal, he called the county magistrate again to ask about Yu Jin's news.

After learning that Yu Jin did not stay here, Zhang Yan led the cavalry to continue chasing.

When he arrived in Dongmin County, the magistrate of Dongmin County was waiting at the gate of the city early, and prepared drinks and food for Zhang Yan to enjoy.

Only then did Zhang Yan know that Yu Jin had stayed in Dongmi County, and he had just left not long ago, and told him that there were pursuers behind him, and asked the magistrate of Dongmin County to entertain the pursuers in this way to prevent Dongmin County from being harmed.

The county magistrate of Dongmin was very knowledgeable about current affairs. He not only delivered drinks and food, but also voluntarily surrendered.

After Zhang Yan had consumed his drink and food, he set out to pursue Yu Jin again. He kept getting closer and closer to Yu Jin all the way.

Yu Jin led the remnant army to gallop all the way from Gaoping County, and then arrived in Changyi. When night fell, Yu Jin finally arrived at the city of Changyi.

The soldiers in Changyi City were all nervous when they heard the sound of horseshoes coming from outside the city.

When the incoming cavalry came to the bottom of the city, the guards on the city wall saw that it was the cavalry wearing Cao Jun's clothes against the faint light of the fire, so they relaxed their vigilance.

"The captain of the army has arrived, quickly open the city gate and let us in, Xuzhou soldiers are about to kill..." A cavalry soldier of Cao Jun came to the bottom of the city and shouted at the top of the city.

The guards on the city wall were surprised when they heard this. How could Xuzhou soldiers come here?

A military commander hurriedly said: "The night is dark, I can't tell clearly, and I have no right to open the city gate, please wait a moment, the young ones will report it, and the prefect will make a decision!"

As soon as the voice fell, a guard went down the tower. After a while, a man in official uniform appeared on the tower. He has a small goatee, and it is Lu Qian, the prefect of Shanyang under Cao Cao's tent.

Lu Qian saw that there were about [-] cavalrymen under the city, and the leader was wearing a helmet and covered in blood, but because of the darkness, he couldn't identify who it was, so he immediately said: "It's hard to tell in the night, please take a few steps forward, Lieutenant Yu! "

Yu Jin rode his horse and took a few steps forward, raised his face, and shouted at Lu Qian on the tower: "Prefect Lu, quickly open the city gate and let me in. Xuzhou soldiers are behind me, and they will arrive soon... "

"Didn't Captain Yu follow the lord to attack Xuzhou? Why did he appear here?" Lu Qian interrupted Yu Jin and asked.

Yu Jin said: "Your Majesty sent me to Gaoping County to help Cao Ren, Captain Li Feng, but General Cao Ren rushed in easily, and was ambushed by Xuzhou soldiers in Guangqi County, surrounded by Xuzhou Corps. When I rushed to Guangqi County At that time, General Cao Ren’s entire army was wiped out, and even General Cao Ren himself was captured alive by Xuzhou soldiers. I led the cavalry to rescue General Cao Ren, but I was outnumbered and almost surrounded by Xuzhou soldiers. There is a lot of money and food in the city, and now Yanzhou is empty of troops, I expected that Xuzhou soldiers would come to attack this place, so I came here non-stop, and reported..."

At this moment, the thunderous sound of horseshoes came from the darkness, accompanied by an inspiring shout, interrupting Yu Jin's words.

Lu Qian suddenly became nervous and hurriedly ordered the archers to get ready.

Yu Jin shouted: "Prefect Lu, Xuzhou soldiers are chasing us, quickly open the city gate and let us in, I will help you hold on to the city..."

In the darkness, Zhang Yan's thunderous voice suddenly came out, interrupting Yu Jin's call: "Captain Yu, since you can't break through the city gate, that's fine, anyway, with the strength of Changyi's troops, they won't be able to resist me for long! However, this time, I'll count on your merit, and then I will put in a few good words for you in front of Tao Shijun."

Lu Qian stood on the top of the city tower, listening carefully, but saw that his face was ashen, and his eyes were full of fierce lights. He directly grabbed a big bow from an archer, opened the bow and set the arrow, and aimed at Yu Jin. , shouted loudly: "Yu Jin! My lord has always treated you kindly, I never thought that you would betray your master for glory and take an arrow from me!"

With a sound of "嗖", the arrow flew out of the string and flew directly towards Yu Jin.

Yu Jin was taken aback, never expecting that Lu Qian would shoot himself with an arrow, and when he realized that he was in danger, the arrow had already flown in front of him, making it impossible for him to avoid it.

At this critical moment, a sharp arrow suddenly shot out from the darkness, and collided with the arrow shot by Lu Qian, but the force was so fast that it even knocked Lu Qian's arrow away. Divided into two, the momentum did not diminish at all, and flew towards Lu Qian again.

Lu Qian opened his eyes wide, and watched the arrow shoot towards him. He was very surprised, and he was even more convinced that Yu Jin was a traitor.

He hastily dodged the arrow, with a gloomy face, and said to his subordinates: "Shoot the arrow! Anyone who approaches the city wall will be shot to death!"

With an order, arrows rained down on the city wall, shooting towards Yu Jin and the others.

Yu Jin hastily waved his long spear away from the incoming arrows, but more than 100 of his subordinates were shot to death.

"Lu Qian! I serve the lord together with you, and I have no grievances or enmities. How can you conclude that I betrayed my master for glory just based on other people's words?" Arrow, shouted loudly at Lu Qian on the tower.

Lu Qian wholeheartedly believed that Yu Jin was a traitor, and he was indifferent to Jin's words. He shouted at the archers beside him, "Give me all the arrows that surpass Yu Jin, and those who shoot Yu Jin to death will be rewarded!"

After hearing this, the archers immediately regained their spirits. They all regarded Yu Jin as a living target, aimed at Yu Jin, and released arrows towards Yu Jin.

Yu Jin suddenly became the target of public criticism. Although he was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.

He hastily rode his horse and ran away. As soon as he left, the arrow hit the land where he was standing on. If he had gone a step later, he would have been shot into a hedgehog.

Unfortunately, all the cavalrymen under Yu Jin were shot to death by random arrows, and none of them survived.

Yu Jin raised his head to the sky and roared loudly, threw the iron gun in his hand to the ground, drew out the sword in his waist, and shouted loudly: "The sky and the earth are so big, but there is no place for me to live in, what's the point of me being alive?"

After speaking, Yu Jin swung his sword and wanted to commit suicide.

It was too late to say, but soon, a phantom suddenly rushed out from the darkness, and quickly passed by Jin's side, it turned out to be Zhang Yan riding a black cloud and riding a snow horse.

With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Yan raised his iron spear and knocked the long sword in Yu Jin's hand into the air. He stretched out his long arm and directly captured Yu Jin, put him on the horse's back, and disappeared into the darkness.

Seeing this, Lu Qian on the tower spit out a mouthful of saliva, and cursed at the ban again.

Zhang Yan took Yujin to a forest, and after reining in the horse, he threw Yujin to the ground.

Xuzhou soldiers rushed up with ropes, trying to tie Yu Jin up, but Zhang Yan stopped him.

Zhang Yan jumped off his horse, saw Yu Jin who was sitting on the ground looking lost and out of his mind, and said, "Lieutenant Yu, you worked hard for Cao Cao and ended up like this, are you willing?"

"It's all because of you. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be in this state!" Yu Jin raised his head and looked at Zhang Yan fiercely.

Zhang Yandao: "Lieutenant Yu, you should thank me. Cao Cao has a lot of talents under his command, one more than you is not too many, and one less than you is not too many, and although you are quite talented, you have not been reused by Cao Cao. Rather than following Cao Cao in such an unknown way, you might as well follow me. I can make you a lieutenant, a general, and make you famous all over the world! Even if I let you go now, you will never be able to return to Cao Cao, because I People have already spread the news that you surrendered to me..."

"You are so despicable!" Yu Jin said angrily, "My lord is wise and mighty, and I will definitely be able to see through your little tricks!"

"Hahaha... Even if Cao Cao believes in you, how can you guarantee that Cao Cao's subordinates believe in you? If they really believed in you, Lu Qian would not have shot you just because of my words..."

Yu Jin frowned tightly, his face darkened, and he bowed his head in silence.

"Think about it carefully, I'll give you one night."

Zhang Yan asked Yu Jin to take good care of him, while he went to rest.After a day and night of running wildly, the army was exhausted, so they hid in a dense forest outside Changyi City to rest, recharge their batteries, and wait for the dawn.

At this time, Yu Jin was in great distress. He had only been with Cao Cao for a few years, and he had gained a lot in terms of military exploits. However, Cao Cao didn't seem to trust foreign names very much, so he handed over the power to Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan and others. Some of these people are brothers of Cao Cao's family, and some are related to Cao Cao by marriage. It is very difficult for outsiders to gain trust.

Yu Jin thought about it all night, and finally decided to leave Cao Cao and follow Zhang Yan, who valued him highly.

At Ping Ming, Yu Jin, led by Xuzhou soldiers, came to Zhang Yan, knelt down on one knee and said: "The defeated army will be banned, from now on, I am willing to serve under the general's account, and I hope the general will be successful!"

Zhang Yan was overjoyed, and immediately helped Yu Jin to his feet, and hurriedly said: "It is really my blessing to have a general like you in my account. I will appoint you as the captain of the military guard right now. I hope you can do your best. Do your best for me."

"General, Changyi is the place where Cao Cao hoarded money and food. If you capture Changyi, you can cut off Cao Cao's food supply. As long as the general gives me five hundred troops, I can capture Changyi and dedicate it to the general. It's a welcome gift for me to join the general! I just don't know if the general will believe me?" Yu Jin asked.

Zhang Yandao: "There is no doubt about employing people, and there is no need to doubt people. Since I have decided to employ you, I will never doubt you. Let alone five hundred soldiers, even if it is a thousand soldiers, or even all the subordinates I am leading now, they can all belong to me." You dispatch."

"General, 500 people are enough. Too many people will lead to bad things."

Zhang Yan really gave Yu Jin five hundred soldiers and horses, and they were all cavalry.

Seeing that Zhang Yan had no doubts about his surrender, Yu Jin was very moved. He took the five hundred cavalrymen Zhang Yan had given him, and after breakfast, he said goodbye to Zhang Yan and led them out of the woods.
