The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 655 654 Jiangzhou Lost
Yan Yan believed in the news of Zhang Fei's death. Although she felt a little frustrated and disappointed at the sudden loss of an opponent, she still couldn't stand the instigation of her subordinates. Zhang Fei is already famous all over the world. If everyone in the world knows that he killed Zhang Fei, his reputation will increase accordingly, and it may not be true for him. Not a good thing.

What's more, Yan Yan still holds a sliver of hope for Liu Zhang, hoping that Liu Zhang can see his ability again, and hopes to return to Chengdu again, after all, the old master is hard to leave.

At this moment, Yan Yan's mood is extremely complicated and delicate, even he himself doesn't know what he is doing and what he should do.

Yan Yan led his subordinates to the camp where Zhang Fei was. Looking from a distance, Zhang Fei's camp was already covered with white eyes, and occasionally he could faintly hear crying in the camp.

Seeing such a scene, Yan Yan was even more sure that Zhang Fei was really dead, and a faint smile appeared on his face, which was fleeting.

"General, Zhang Fei doesn't have many subordinates. If we surround him from the outside, they won't be able to escape!" the deputy general suggested.

Yan Yan shook his head and said: "No! Zhang Fei is dead, so his subordinates are nothing to be afraid of, not to mention that Zhang Fei is a famous general in the world, it is not good for us to make trouble like this. Zhang Fei's subordinates are elite soldiers who have fought a hundred battles , if I can persuade them to come and surrender, it will be of great benefit to our army."

"The general killed Zhang Fei. These people were all loyal to Zhang Fei. It is impossible for them to surrender to the general. It is better to kill them directly, leaving no one behind, and then report the victory to Liu Shijun. Maybe Liu Shijun will respond. The general has changed!" The lieutenant suggested.

"I'm free, you don't need to say any more. I'll go and persuade them to try. You lead people to attack from behind. Without my order, no one can move!" Yan Yan said.

The lieutenant general nodded and acted separately from Yan Yan. With half of the soldiers and horses, he surrounded Zhang Fei's camp from both sides.

But Yan Yan asked the subordinates behind him to stand in place, while he himself rode his horse and walked straight forward.

In Zhang Fei's camp, the soldiers found Yan Yan who was walking towards them alone, and immediately there was a burst of swords drawn, showing their murderous intent.

After Yan Yan noticed this scene, he reined in the horse and shouted loudly into the camp: "I am Yan Yan, the prefect of Berkshire. I have no malicious intentions here this time. I am here to mourn General Zhang!"

"Stop being so hypocritical, my general was shot to death by you, and now I still have the face to express my condolences to my general, you leave quickly, or we will be rude to you!" The soldiers in the camp shouted loudly.

Yan Yan said: "I really came to mourn your general. Although we are now hostile, I admire your general, so I came here to express my condolences..."

"You killed my general, and now you say this again, do you really think we are easy to bully?"

Yan Yan said: "I am also very sad that your general has died. There is a Tao that God has the virtue of good life. There is no need for so many of you to be buried with him. Why don't you give up your weapons and surrender to me, I promise, I will treat you better than your general!"

"Thieves with ambition! Stop talking sarcastic here, we would rather die than submit to you!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a "swish", and a feathered arrow pierced the sky and flew directly towards Yan Yan.

Yan Yan was taken aback, and hurriedly took a few steps back. The arrow fell in front of him and directly stuck on the ground. If he had retreated a little later, the arrow would have landed on him.

"It seems that this group of people has no intention of surrendering..." Yan Yan thought to himself, "Come on, let's kill them all, it will save so much trouble."

Yan Yan made up his mind, turned his horse's head and returned to the main formation, just about to open his mouth to give orders to his subordinates, but saw one of his confidantes, covered in blood, riding quickly over from behind, with a flustered look on his face.

After seeing this confidant, Yan Yan suddenly felt a panic in his heart, because he left this confidant in Jiangzhou, and now he ran over covered in blood, did something happen to Jiangzhou?
Before Yan Yan stepped forward to inquire, that confidant had already run in front of Yan Yan, jumped off his horse, knelt down on the ground, and cried to Yan Yan: "General...Jiangzhou...Jiangzhou is lost..."

"What did you say?" There was a thunderbolt in Yan Yan's ears, and there was a buzzing in his ears, he bent down, grabbed the confidant, and asked, "How did Jiangzhou get lost, tell me quickly! "

The confidant cried: "Not long after the general left with his soldiers and horses, a group of people in our military uniforms fled back in embarrassment, saying that Zhang Fei was not dead. The general was ambushed by Zhang Fei on the way, and he didn't know where he came from." With so many soldiers and horses, the general was completely surrounded, so I came back specifically to ask for reinforcements. I was worried about the general's safety, so I took the soldiers and horses and left the city. Unexpectedly, when the city gate was opened, this group of people took advantage of the situation and launched an attack. Only then did I realize that I had been tricked, there are few soldiers in the city, and we were not opponents, so I was beaten and defeated, so I fought my way out of the siege, so I came to report to the general!"

After Yan Yan heard this, her scalp felt numb, and she said sadly: "I was careless for a moment, thinking that once Zhang Fei died, his subordinates would be vulnerable. I didn't expect that Zhang Fei's subordinates would use Zhang Fei's death to make a fuss." , seized my Jiangzhou..."

Before Yan Yan could finish speaking, that confidant hurriedly interjected: "General, Zhang Fei is actually not dead..."

"What did you say?" Yan Yan couldn't believe his ears. The news, like a thunderbolt from the blue, made his ears buzz, "You say it again?"

"Zhang... Zhang Fei is really not dead. I saw it with my own eyes. The one who led people to attack Jiangzhou was Zhang Fei..."

Yan Yan suddenly felt a sense of being deceived, and said loudly: "Good job Zhang Fei! How dare you play tricks on me!"

A grim expression appeared on Yan Yan's face, and he turned his head to look at Zhang Fei's camp covered with white cloth. He was so angry that he immediately ordered: "Send the order and set fire to this camp. The people inside Don't keep any of them, just kill them all, and after you're done, go back and attack Jiangzhou with me, Zhang Fei has few people, so I don't believe he can hold Jiangzhou!"

"Here!"

Following Yan Yan's order, Jiangzhou soldiers surrounded Zhang Fei's camp with water, and the archers lit rockets one after another, shooting arrows into the camp from a distance. A little spark stained the white cloth in the camp, and the fire burned rapidly. After getting up, the whole camp turned into a sea of ​​flames after only a short effort.

However, the strange thing is that in this sea of ​​flames, not a single person's miserable cry can be heard. Could it be that they are really so persevering that they are unwilling to shout even when they are burnt like this?
The flames were so fierce that the entire camp had been completely engulfed by the fire, but out of curiosity, Yan Yan did not retreat immediately, but waited until the fire was almost burned, and sent people to put out the fire and search for the corpse.

But the strange thing is that there is no corpse found in the ruined camp, so where did the person who talked to him before and shot him with an arrow go?

Yan Yan was puzzled, so he asked people to search carefully, but the soldiers accidentally discovered the entrance of a tunnel. Yan Yan made people jump into the tunnel and explored along the way, only to find that this tunnel leads to a forest several miles away. Here, the soldiers in the camp probably escaped through this tunnel.

The more Yan Yan thought about it, the more excited he became. He thought that Zhang Fei was just an ordinary man with outstanding martial arts skills, but after this series of incidents, he looked at Zhang Fei differently. He only thought that Zhang Fei was not only superior in martial arts, but also much better than him in terms of resourcefulness. .

Yan Yan was not reconciled, so he regrouped his troops and quickly marched towards Jiangzhou with everyone.

When Yan Yan returned to Jiangzhou, Zhang Fei's military flag had already been hung on the city wall of Jiangzhou City. Zhang Fei led his men to stand on the tower, waiting proudly for Yan Yan's arrival.

When Zhang Fei saw Yan Yan coming to the city of Jiangzhou with soldiers and horses, Zhang Fei shouted loudly: "Prefect Yan, Zhang has been waiting here for a long time."

Yan Yan felt annoyed, pointed at Zhang Fei and said, "I really regret that no arrow shot you to death yesterday!"

"It's too late to regret. Now that Jiangzhou City has been captured by me, what else can you say? Don't forget, there is still a bet between you and me!" Zhang Fei said triumphantly.

Yan Yan's face was startled, and then he remembered that when he wrote Zhang Fei's challenge letter, he made a bet in it, if Zhang Fei could lead the only subordinates to capture Jiangzhou City, he would lead them to surrender , and followed Zhang Fei with all his heart, let him drive him, and never departed from him in this life.

Now, Zhang Fei has captured Jiangzhou City, and he is standing on the city tower, right in front of his eyes. The original bet is still vivid in his memory, and it is being held in Zhang Fei's hands. At this moment, he feels a little Feeling ashamed, I can't wait to find a crack in the ground and get in directly.

I thought that I was holding a heavy army and defending the fortified city. Zhang Fei only had 800 people and could do nothing. How could he possibly capture Jiangzhou City, which was defended by him? He fought and then took the opportunity to eliminate Zhang Fei.Who would have known that stealing a chicken would not result in a loss of money, but instead he would become the loser in this bet.

With a sound of "squeak", the gate of Jiangzhou suddenly opened, and Fazheng, who was wearing a long robe, slowly walked out of the gate, and the gate did not close again. He bowed to Yan Yan, and said: "General, a manly man, he promises everything he promises, and he is willing to accept the bet, and I hope the general will not break his promise!"

This time, Yan Yan's intestines were green with regret. Not only did he easily make a bet, but he also found a witness. This time, it was difficult for him to go back on his word.

For a long time, Yan Yan didn't say a word, looking up at the sky, many thoughts flashed through her mind.

Finally, Yan Yan lowered his head, turned over and jumped off the horse, walked straight forward a few steps, then knelt down on one knee, and bowed to Zhang Fei on the tower: "Yan Yan is willing to gamble and admit defeat. From now on, let General Zhang Send!"
