The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 627 Chapter 626 Between Life and Death
The arrival of Tai Shici eased the conflict between Huang Zhong and Xu Huang, and the two stopped fighting, and both stopped their hands and put their swords back into their sheaths.

After a while, Huang Zhong and Xu Huang's anger gradually subsided, recalling the scene of the two fighting just now, they suddenly felt that they had gone too far.Both of them are generals in the army, and they compete here for some credit, and if it is spread, it will inevitably damage their reputation.

However, knowing this, the two of them are still unwilling to bow their heads to each other. After all, it is difficult to save face, and they still ignore each other.

Seeing this, Tai Shici had no choice but to take them to see Yan Wang Zhang Yan.

Several waves of people gathered together, escorted Zhou Yu and Ling Tong, and headed towards Chaisang in a mighty way.

Zhenxi General Ma Chao also followed in the middle of the team, scanning Tai Shici, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong and others in the army with his sharp gaze like a falcon, and thought to himself: "Although there are many elite soldiers and strong generals in Zhang Yan's tent, , but these generals recruited from different places are at odds with each other, and what I have heard and seen since I came here seems to have a kind of arrogance. No one is convinced, and the spirit of striving for strength is particularly prominent. This kind of team is mixed together, it is like a mess, I will wait and see how it changes, I want to see how Zhang Yan directs this mess..."

……

Jiangdong, Chaisang.

Over the majestic city walls, the orange-red "Han" military flag flutters in the wind. The flag is clear and swaying with the wind. Soldiers in orange-red military uniforms are standing on every corner of the city walls of Chaisang City. It's a sea of ​​orange.

The gate of Chaisang City was opened wide, and the soldiers of the Han army lined up neatly on both sides of the road outside the gate. The middle road into the city was covered with a long red carpet. Yan Wang Zhang Yan, surrounded by thousands of troops, rode a white dragon slowly onto the carpet, raised one hand, and kept waving at the soldiers standing on both sides.

Every time Zhang Yan waved it, the soldiers would shout "Long live the King of Yan", and the slogan "Long live the King of Yan" came one after another.

Behind Zhang Yan, two teams of cavalry followed closely. On the left were all scribes wearing long robes and riding war horses. The first was Jia Xu, the second was Sima Yi, the third was Zhuge Liang, and the fourth was Pang Tong. , everyone lined up, walked slowly, and kept a distance from Zhang Yan.

And on the right behind Zhang Yan, there are a group of knights dressed as generals. The first is the cavalry general Zhang Liao, the second is the right general Gan Ning, the third is the rear general Zhang He, and the fourth is Zheng General Lu Meng of the South also lined up in a line, maintaining the same pace and speed as Jia Xu and others on the left.

The rest of the scribes and generals were waiting quietly in the neat formation outside the red carpet. Those who could follow Zhang Yan closely and have the opportunity to show their faces were either generals who were accustomed to fighting, or resourceful military advisers. While admiring Zhang Yan, the officers and soldiers were extremely envious of the eight people behind Zhang Yan. Such an opportunity and such an appearance would probably allow the entire army to firmly remember these eight faces.

The Han army in the city is all subordinates of the left general Xu Huang. After Xu Huang successfully captured Chaisang City according to Zhang Yan's instructions, he sent someone to notify Zhang Yan, and he himself brought a hundred fine cavalry , went to arrest Zhou Yu.

The soldiers did not wait for the news of Xu Huang's return, but waited for the arrival of King Yan. It was really unexpected to be able to prepare such a grand welcome scene in a hurry.

This time Zhang Yan came by boat at an astonishingly fast speed. In addition to the Jingzhou navy he brought, he also rushed over along with Zhang Liao and other troops stationed in Xunyang. Now on the river outside Chaisang City, there are There are countless warships, and the flags of the Han army are everywhere, flying all over the sky, which further demonstrates the majestic momentum of the Han army.

In addition, the Mabu army landed by the Han army, with its excellent equipment, neat military appearance, and high morale, all exuded the powerful magnetic field of the Han army, making those Jiangdong people in the city who were a little restless at first changed. You have to be obedient.

The strength of the Han army put great pressure on the Jiangdong people to a certain extent, and it was the first time they had seen so many troops.

The number of the Han army was far beyond their imagination, and even the Jiangdong navy they relied on the most was wiped out, which dealt a big blow to the Jiangdong army and people to a certain extent.

On this day, Zhang Yan officially entered the city in a grand form, announcing that Chaisang City, the northern gateway to Jiangdong, was completely opened by the Han army. Soon, this news will make those who try to rely on the natural danger of the Yangtze River to fight back The Jiangdong Army was frightened when they heard the news.

And the ninth day of August will definitely be remembered by history!
After Zhang Yan entered Chaisang City, his army had been stationed outside the city, and they were not allowed to enter the city. Except for Xu Huang's original troops in the city, Zhang Yan only mobilized [-] guards to guard the Yamen, and sent People surrounded Zhou Yu's house and the houses of the generals in the city, not allowing anyone to harm them, and specially sent people to count the population, distribute rations for them, neither kill them nor let them go, that's it closed.

Half a day after entering the city, Tai Shici, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Pang De, Zhou Yuncong and others led Zhou Yu and Ling Tong slowly into Chaisang City, and the group left all the troops outside the city. They escorted Zhou Yu and Ling Tong to meet Zhang Yan.

The news of Zhou Yu's arrest had already reached Zhang Yan's ears. At this moment, Zhang Yan was sitting in the hall, quietly waiting for the arrival of Tai Shici and others.

A moment later, Tai Shici, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Pang De, Zhou Yuncong and others escorted Zhou Yu and Ling Tong into the hall. As soon as they entered the hall, everyone bowed to Zhang Yan and shouted loudly. : "The last general is waiting, see His Royal Highness King Yan!"

Zhang Yan waved his hand and said: "Waiting, all generals, get up quickly!"

"Thank you, Your Highness King Yan." Everyone replied in unison, and then slowly stood up.

At this time, Tai Shici clasped his fists and said, "I would like to report to the King of Yan, fortunately, I did not disgrace my life and brought Zhou Yu back!"

Zhang Yan had noticed Zhou Yu who was tied up and gagged early, and said, "Untie the governor Zhou!"

After saying a word, someone stepped forward to untie Zhou Yu, and Zhang Yan said to everyone: "Everyone has worked hard all the way, please sit down!"

While everyone was seated one after another, Zhou Yu was also untied. At this time, Zhang Yan looked at Zhou Yu and asked, "Governor Zhou, you probably didn't expect to end up like this, did you?"

Zhou Yu snorted coldly, turned his head away, and ignored Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan laughed and said, "It's okay if you ignore me. Aren't you afraid that I will anger your family members because of this, and order to kill all your family members?"

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I have already been reduced to a prisoner. If I want to be killed or cut, it is up to you. What's more, I am already a dying person. After I die, I will be separated from my family. The King of Yan saw me pitiful, and asked His Highness the King of Yan to give my whole family a death sentence, and we will be executed together, on the way to Huangquan, we are a family again."

After Zhang Yan heard Zhou Yu's words, he asked, "Are you really not afraid of death?"

"There is nothing to be afraid of death. Everyone will die. It's just a matter of time. If it falls into your hands, death is a relief." Zhou Yu said.

Zhang Yan asked again: "It seems that you are really not afraid of death. However, since you want to die, this king will not let you die. I want to let you live, I want to ruin your reputation, and let you be criticized by everyone. Thousands of people scold you, wanting to make your life worse than death. So, are you afraid?"

Zhou Yu still gave a cold snort, and said calmly, "I'm not even afraid of death, why would I be afraid of these things? You'd better give me a good time and stop talking here."

Zhang Yan pondered for a moment, and then said: "You want to die, but this king just won't let you die. This king wants to make your life worse than death. Of course, if you are willing to join this king's command and serve him, Go and persuade Sun Quan to come and surrender, but this king can consider letting your family live. How about it, you should think about it carefully."
