The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 37

Zhao Yun was ordered by Xun Yu to lie in ambush in front of him. At this moment, the food escorted by Wei Xu and Song Xian had not yet arrived, but he accidentally bumped into Le Jin first.Zhao Yun's soldiers lay in ambush here for nearly two hours, and everyone was froze. When they saw Le Jin's men, they suddenly regained their energy, as if a pack of wolves saw a herd of sheep.Everyone was thinking in their hearts, do it, fuck it, being hacked to death is better than freezing to death.Zhao Yun was also quite cold, instead of talking nonsense to the panicked Le Jin, he directly shouted; "Kill." He was the first to stab with a gun.In an instant, the soldiers on both sides strangled together.

Le Jin is a brave and powerful general, but he is not Zhao Yun's opponent. After the battle, he was killed by Zhao Yun's fierce marksmanship, which was as fast as the wind and lightning, brave and unparalleled, and used offense as defense. Panting continuously, Zhao Yun's Nilin Silver Spear stabbed someone who didn't pay attention to the shoulder socket.He let out a howl, dismissed the horse and wanted to run. When the soldiers saw that General Le was injured and wanted to leave, everyone also ran back.Suddenly lost the fighting consciousness.In fact, Zhao Yun didn't bring many soldiers and horses this time, only around 1000. The reason is very simple, there is not enough food, and if he wants to make a long-distance raid, he must feed the soldiers without being frozen to death by the weather.But there was not enough food, so he could only bring [-] people.The key is Xun Yu's super common knowledge of geography, which allowed him to win a big victory.

The road carefully selected by Zhang Liao and Zhong Yao on the battle map was actually walked by Liu Bang 500 years ago.Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, wanted to kill kings with different surnames. He once broke Jiujiang Wang Yingbu here. According to historical records, Taizu used Chen Ping's strategy to attack Yingbu from a small road. After years of research by Xun Yu, it should be here. Find a path in the mountains leading directly to the road.So when he learned that Zhang Liao came from this road, he immediately let go of his hanging heart; "It will happen."

Le advanced and retreated, and all the soldiers retreated into the mouth of the valley.The mouth of the valley was narrow, and a large number of soldiers did not have time to get out of the valley. Immediately, people and horses trampled on each other. In addition, Zhao Yunjun covered up the killing from behind. plugged up.That's good, Zhao Yun's men can't chase in, so Le Jin can escape.Zhao Yun wouldn't talk nonsense with him, because the sound of horseshoes had already been remembered behind him, and a consciousness immediately rose in Zhao Yun's heart; "The grain cart——"

Song Xian and Wei Xu heard the screams of killing from a distance, and they looked at each other, wondering what to do, they must not leave the grain truck and run away.Song Xian was quite brave, but his martial arts were not good enough, so he said immediately: "Old Wei, you are watching the grain truck here, I will take a couple of people to see what's going on." Wei continued, "Be careful." Song Xian nodded With a wave of the head, he led a group of soldiers and rushed out.Wei Xu watched him go out for less than half a stick of incense, when he heard a scream from a distance, he could almost conclude that it came from Song Xian's mouth.Wei Xu was shocked and thought, didn't General Zhang Liao say that this road is very safe, how old Song Hui—" He shouted behind him; "Brothers, protect the food—" Before he finished speaking, he heard The sound of hooves came from far to near, and there was only one horse. He thought it was Song Xian who had come back, but when he turned his head, he suddenly saw a flash of white light approaching like lightning. Wei Xu felt a chill in his chest in a daze. A silver-white gun was inserted into his heart. He looked up and saw an extremely beautiful young man looking at him coldly. The corner of Wei Xu's mouth twitched, and he fell off the horse and died.

Le Jin threw off all the soldiers and ran back frantically.When he saw Zhang Liao, the army had already arrived at Shouchun City.Zhang Liao was almost delighted when he saw the city defense of Shouchun City.Isn't this an opportunity for our soldiers to massacre? This is also called a soldier. I, Zhang Liao, came to beat you. I really gave you a face. I knew that my wife would bring 500 horses and horses.The less than [-] defenders in Shouchun City are all white-haired veterans, wearing shabby coarse clothes, and the guys in their hands are very energetic, but judging by the appearance of these old people, it seems that it is very difficult to hold them.Zhang Liao couldn't help feeling suspicious, wondering if this was the enemy's trick to lure the enemy.But when he thought about it, he was wrong. Is there such a way to lure the enemy?Oh, pushing all these cannon fodder on the city wall, and letting the elite soldiers wait in the city, waiting for my army to go in and start the battle, it is simply impossible, please God easy to send God to God, it is impossible to act rashly with Zhang Liao's shrewdness Yes, but just before he closed his laughing mouth, a handsome guy covered in blood appeared in front of him - Le Jin.

Seeing Zhang Liao feeling ashamed and ashamed, Yue Jin gritted his teeth and said, "General Zhang, it's too bad. I went to pick up the grain and grass, and I was ambushed halfway—" Zhang Liao was surprised; "Where is the grain and grass?" Le Jin shook his head; "I Although I didn’t see it, I guess the food and grass must have been robbed.” As soon as the words fell, a bloody man who was more handsome than Le Jin suddenly got on his horse and caught up from behind the group, shouting while running; “Report, General, food and grass have been robbed—quick—” Zhang Liao’s face was as cold as ice, and he scolded viciously; “Damn it, you’re afraid that others won’t know, so I’m so mad.” There is no other way to siege the city.

Covering the bleeding wound with his hand, the musician asked, "What should I do now?" Zhang Liao suddenly smiled; "What can I do, take Shouchun City within half an hour, and then go back to clean up Cangba." He didn't think so much at the moment The food and grass are gone, and the army will mutiny at any time. They must attack the city and have no choice.Le Jin originally wanted to argue with Zhang Liao, but when he saw the situation in the city, he swallowed his saliva and said, "It's almost time for a stick of incense—"

A stick of incense time.Zhang Liao Lejin straddled his horse and entered Shouchun City.Those gray-haired old men put down their weapons and surrendered with just a few symbolic resistances.So the Battle of Shouchun left such a shocking number.In the siege of Shouchun, Cao Jun lost two people and injured eight people, including a soldier who fell from a ladder and suffered a broken right leg and calf. He shot fifty arrows and no horses and swords.An urge to become the god of war turned into blood and rushed into Zhang Liao's mind instantly.He never expected that he would get Shouchun, one of the most fortified cities in the Han Dynasty, at such a low price.But just as he calmed down, he realized something was wrong. There were less than three hundred defenders here, and they were all old and weak soldiers. The highest commander turned out to be a horse archer. Where did most of the enemy's troops go?This group of people was too useless, they ran away without even fighting, the Hebei army's combat effectiveness was so sparse, it seemed that the prime minister could wipe out Yuan Shao without much effort.

But the clerk under Zhang Liao who was in charge of posting the notice came back and reported: "There is not a single resident in the city. Not only is there no one, but there is no food, and there is not even a chicken, duck, or goose."

Zhang Liao sat down on a chair after hearing this, and murmured, "It's broken, it's been tricked." Obviously, the enemy moved all the people and edible food out of the city to make a solid wall for themselves.My own food and grass were robbed, so it can be said that there is not even a grain of food at the moment, and Shouchun City is an empty city. How can I solve the problem of feeding the [-] army?Zhang Liao thought, no, my people can't stay here, they must all withdraw, go back to deal with the Tibetan tyrants, and open up the grain road.So he immediately ordered: "The army rests for half an hour and then goes out of the city to go back to deal with the Tibetan tyrant." Taking advantage of this time, Le Jin bandaged the wound and came to ask Zhang Liao, "Why did you leave the city? Wouldn't the battle be in vain? "Zhang Liao smiled wryly; "There is no way, there is no grain here, and the army simply refuses to be able to garrison, what do you ask me to do." Le Jin took a breath; "It's broken, who would have thought that Shouchun City would be desolate At this point, there is not even a living person." Zhang Liao shook his head and said; "In my opinion, there should have been, but they might have been dragged out of the city by Yuan Jun. This kind of solid wall and clearing the wilderness made us useless in gaining the city. Great." Le Jin said; "What should I do now." Zhang Liao didn't even think about it; "There is no other way but to go back and get through the grain road." Han Hao walked in from behind Le Jin and said; "If Zang Ba is like the general said What should we do if we don’t confront us head-on with Peng Yue’s Rao Chu method.” Zhang Liao sighed; “Then we can only submit a form to the prime minister and ask him to send a large team to Xiapi to ensure our food supply. It's clear." At this time, the sky was getting dark, and Han Hao said worriedly; "It's better to wait until tomorrow morning." Zhang Liao said; "No, tomorrow the soldiers will be too hungry to get up, how to go." Le Jin nodded; "That's right, then let's go now, rush to Xiapi before dawn, and get through the grain road."

It was too cold, and it was a starless night.Tens of thousands of torches dyed half the sky red, but they couldn't make the soldiers suffering from hunger and cold feel any warmth.Zhang Liao and Le Jin's stomachs were also growling with hunger, and they only had one meal since morning.Although it is not the first time for these soldiers who have been fighting all the year round to endure hardships, everyone is somewhat worried this time - can we defeat the horse thief Zangba who is criss-crossing Mount Tai with such a hungry stomach?

early morning.

The air in the early morning is crisp and cold, which can clear people's minds under normal circumstances, but for those who have not closed their eyes all night, this time is the most difficult to endure.Cold, hunger, and sleepiness, the three kinds of pain that tortured people to the bone, together attacked the soldiers who were not very determined.Everyone was wondering if they could lie down and sleep.

Zhang Liao was not in the mood to sleep at this time, he knew that he had completely walked into the enemy's trap.Based on the current state of this team, even if they got to Xiapi City, they could only wait to be slaughtered.But he had no choice, because staying in Shouchun would make his death even worse.The faint morning light penetrated the gray clouds in the sky, bringing a hazy yellow light to the earth.

Le Jin Tima came to his side and yawned, "General, after passing this intersection, you will be in Xiapi City after another thirty miles. Let's speed up the march." Zhang Liao thought why he was walking so fast, so he hurried Going to die, but he couldn't think of a good way, so he could only give it a go, nodded and said; "Yes, soldiers are precious, fast, fast, everyone listen to me, and move forward at full speed."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cavalryman beside him swung off his horse with a snap and fell into the snow.Zhang Liao was startled and asked the left and right, "What's the matter?" An infantryman approached from the side, leaned over to check it out, and said to Zhang Liao with a snort, "General, this kid seems to be asleep." Zhang Liao felt so angry. Picking up the whip, he whipped the soldier indiscriminately.The soldier was whipped and jumped up from the ground. It took a long time to react, and he didn't dare to hide, but just knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.Le Jin felt a chill in his heart, thinking that the soldiers had already become so sleepy that they were at the end of their efforts. If they forcefully attacked the city, they would definitely be defeated, but if they didn't take down Xiapi City, they would still freeze to death and starve to death. What's the matter? manage.As soon as the kid rolled his eyes, he took his heart into consideration, moved to Zhang Liao's side, pulled the whip and said, "Old Zhang, I think we should bypass Xiapi City and go to Xuzhou to rest, and then go back and fight Tibetan bullies. I'm worried that we will lose money if we do this." Yes." Zhang Liao thought it was easy when you said it, and he went to Xuzhou to rest and recuperate, not to waste time, the prime minister told me to make a quick decision, which is good, it has become a protracted battle, where will I put my face.Le Jin knew what he was worried about, so he said, "Forget it, delaying for two days is better than losing the army and losing the battle. Do you think this is the reason?" I said in my heart that I asked you to escort the grain and grass. You didn't even see what the enemy looked like, so you were shot, and now you are still giving me advice with confidence. It is obvious that you want me to take the blame.Zhang Liao is a level-headed general, he will not be impulsive about taking the blame.Immediately nodded and said: "Okay, according to Wen Qian's words, go to Xuzhou to rest." After finishing speaking, he followed closely; "Zangba, a bastard, if I don't tear him into pieces, I won't be surnamed Zhang."
