Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 24 Marching into Hanoi
Li Song, who was clear about the order, looked at the crowd and said, "I have decided to eliminate Zhang Yang before Lu Bu and Xu Rong's army arrives in Hanoi, and then deal with Lu Bu and Xu Rong's army."

"Everyone go down immediately to prepare, call up the army, prepare food and grass, and send troops to Hanoi."

"Wenyuan sits at Huguan to prevent the counterattack of the Hanoi army. The military division dispatches food and grass to ensure the logistics supply of the army. Gao Shun commands the first army, Xiang Yu commands the first army, and I personally command the first army. The troops are divided into three groups to advance towards Hanoi." Li Song ordered.

"No!" Everyone took the order and left.

Li Song's troops were divided into three groups, one with Xiang Yu as the main force marching towards Shanyang, one with Li Song as the main force marching towards Lin Lu, and finally one with Gao Shun as the main force marching towards the wild king.

Liu Bowen was in the rear, the prime minister was in charge, and Zhang Liao was guarding Huguan, just in case.

Spring is a rainy season, and the sky is drizzling. In the early morning, Zhang Yangjun on the border of Hanoi, except for the soldiers standing guard, everyone else is sleeping soundly in their tents.

Outside Zhang Yangjun's camp, in a forest, a heavily armed army was staring at them. The danger was approaching quietly, but they didn't notice it at all.

"My lord! In front is Zhang Yang's forward army, and the forward general is Zhang Yang's general Yang Chou." A Meteor Horse Detective knelt on one knee and reported the inquired information to Li Song.

Yang Chou?Isn't this just killing Zhang Yang in the end, and took Zhang Yang's head to join Cao Cao, but was killed by Sui Gu, who was born as a black mountain bandit.

Li Song waved his hand, and the Meteor Horse Detective who was kneeling on the ground left immediately. Li Song turned his head and said to Pei Yuanqing next to him, "Send someone to touch it, and get rid of these sentries and patrols, so that no one will notice."

"Yes! I'll let the shadow go." Pei Yuanqing replied, the shadow is Li Song's secret army.

Dozens of figures, through the hazy rain, quietly touched the enemy's camp, stretched out a hand from behind the sentry post to cover his mouth to prevent making a sound, and held a sharp knife in the other hand, quickly walked out of the camp. The sentry's throat was scratched.

Blood spurted from the cut throat, and before the sentinel had time to react, he left this world and returned with resentment for this world.

The sentinel on the sentry tower only heard a few swishing sounds, but before they understood what was going on, they were shot and killed by a short crossbow. Several figures passed by and stepped into the puddles on the ground. into the soil.

A small group of patrol soldiers was listlessly patrolling the established route. The figure hiding behind the tent suddenly rushed out, and with a flash of cold light, these patrol soldiers who were still in astonishment and had no time to react were sent to reincarnation.

These incidents are staged in every place in this camp, get rid of these figures, and gather in one place, "Send someone back to report to the lord!" As soon as the leader finished speaking, a figure quickly disappeared into the rain among.

"Master! All sentries and patrols have been resolved." Pei Yuanqing came to Li Song and said.

"Order the officers and soldiers to cover up and kill Yang Chou softly, and capture Yang Chou alive." Li Song ordered.

"No!" Pei Yuanqing took the order and led the army towards Yang Chou's vanguard camp, quietly killing him.

Yang Chou's vanguard soldiers were caught off guard, and before they had time to put on their armor and pick up their weapons, they fell to the enemy's sword, and even in their sleep, they turned back in a daze.

Seeing those who were in a bad situation, they simply put down their weapons and surrendered. The battle soon ended, the rain stopped, Li Song stepped into the camp, and Pei Yuanqing hurried up to meet him.

"My lord! Yang Chou, the striker camp that has captured Zhang Yangjun, captured the striker general Yang Chou alive. He is guarding in a camp, waiting for the lord's release." Pei Yuanqinghui reported.

"How about the casualties in our army?" Li Song ignored Yang Chou, but first asked about the situation of the army.

"Return to my lord! No one in our army died, 12 people were seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured."

"Killed 2000 enemies, captured 1000 people, and the remaining less than [-] people fled. A lot of food, grass and materials were seized. The specific number is not clear for the time being. I ordered the quartermaster to carefully count and make a list." Briefly tell Li Song.

"Oh! This is the first time that our army has no death record since the expedition." While speaking, everyone came to the camp of the Chinese army that originally belonged to Yang Chou and now belongs to Li Song.

"Bring Yang Chou up!" Li Song, who was sitting in the main seat, said to Pei Yuanqing who was beside him.

"No!" Pei Yuanqing responded, turned and left, obviously worried about other people, and went to bring Yang Chou to Li Song himself.

Li Song looked at Yang Chou who was kneeling below and said, "You are Zhang Yang's general Yang Chou?"

"It's me." Yang Chou didn't dare to raise his head, his voice was a bit bitter, why was he tied up in such a daft way.

"Push it out and cut it!" Li Song looked at Yang Chou, who was trembling on the ground, and said, obviously this guy is a person who is afraid of death, and for such a person who is afraid of death, he will be obedient if he is frightened.

"My lord, spare me!" Yang Chou opened his eyes wide after hearing this, and kowtowed desperately to beg for mercy.

"Hmph! Why should I keep you? What do you have that deserves my life?" Li Song sneered in his heart, but said impatiently.

"My lord! I'm still valuable! Please let me spare my life." Yang Chou said hastily.

"Oh! What value do you have, but let me not kill you? Let's hear it." Li Song said.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Yang Chou saw that Li Song was a little moved, and he had a glimmer of life, so he hurriedly said, "I can help my lord to take Hanoi without bloodshed. As long as my lord lets me go back, I will definitely take Zhang Yang's head and Hanoi." Give it to the adults."

In order to survive, Yang Chou did not hesitate to betray his lord Zhang Yang. Compared with his little life, Zhang Yang's life was worthless.

"Okay, as long as you can bring Zhang Yang's head to me, I will not only spare your life, but also let you be the prefect of Hanoi." Li Song threw out a bait that Yang Chou couldn't refuse.

"Thank you, my lord. I'm sure I'll be terrified of your lord." Yang Chou was overjoyed.

Li Song asked someone to take Yang Chou down, and Pei Yuanqing stepped forward and asked, "My lord! Yang Chou is a traitor for glory! You can't keep him. If he can betray Zhang Yang today, there's no guarantee that he won't betray the lord in the future."

"Hahaha!" Li Song laughed loudly, and said to Pei Yuanqing, "Yuanqing, how could I not know about this, now that Lu Bu and Xu Rongjun are heading towards Hanoi, any delay will be more dangerous."

"Then my lord..." Before Pei Yuanqing finished speaking, Li Song interrupted, "I have my own opinion on this matter! You don't need to say too much."

"No!" Pei Yuanqing cupped his hands.

Bingzhou's three-way army was like a broken bamboo all the way, conquering Linli, Shanyang, Yewang and other counties, and approaching Huai County, the prefecture of Hanoi. Zhang Yangjun suffered heavy losses and tried to shrink the line of defense. Army, waiting for reinforcements from Lu Bu and Xu Rong to arrive.
