The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 88

The powerful and arrogant Zhang Yan bandit army came to the village on the official road in Hejian.The name of Hejian Ancient County has been around for a long time. The reason why it was named Hejian is because it is located in Tuhai River, Dashi River, Majia River, Fufu River, Husu River, Jian River, Jie River, Goupan River and Gejin River. Wait between the nine rivers.It is located at an important point and has always been a battleground for military strategists.Moreover, the land is fertile and the water is flowing. Even in a year of severe drought, the common people are not too worried about the lack of water.Drill a well down, and there will be spring water gushing out more than ten feet away.

Although Zhang Yan is brave and resourceful, he still can't get rid of the yellow scarf habit.When sending troops to fight, they also brought farm tools, cattle and women's family members.This point is clear at a glance just by looking at the camp he set up.Zhangyan camp is centered on the official road of Lecheng and Miaotun, with Miaotun as the site, a wooden wall is built to enclose an area of ​​about [-] mu. The wall is three to four meters high and one meter wide, with three gates. There are villages and hills in the camp. There are more than ten camps, more than [-] mu of arable land, with weir ponds and several wells for water supply. In addition to Heipo camp, there are pioneer camps, Laohuping camps, Changchong camps and mobile camps in each fortress, and there is a horse-washing camp in the southwest. Each camp has houses, granaries, armories, outposts for martial arts training, and even the residence of family members.Could it be to solve the physical problems of the soldiers, no different from the comfort women.Outside the stone wall, there are [-] layers of antlers, blocking our army for nearly a hundred feet. There is no intention of going to war at all, and it is obvious that they are trying to play tricks, which is really unbearable.Not to mention whether the twenty-heavy antlers can break through, even if we break through by force, our army will inevitably suffer heavy losses if we are hit by arrows raining from the village.The most frightening thing is that the cavalry is simply useless and can only watch helplessly.You said he was not angry.

In the evening of the third day, our army rushed to Hejian. After several days of raiding, we were exhausted and immediately went to the camp ten miles away from the enemy camp. There are more than 200 camps, about [-] groups, with a distance of [-] steps between each group, arranged in a long snake formation, which is deeply combined with the art of war.Compared with Mr. Zhang's lineup of military and civilian integration, I don't know how much stronger it is.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Zhang Yan’s camp is like a quiet mountain village, with chickens and dogs hearing each other and smoke from the kitchen, creating a scene of tranquility and peace.Looking from a distance, there are very few soldiers wearing armor in the camp, and most of them are old hats wrapped in yellow cloth.The most exasperating thing is that many farmers took their red horses and yellow cattle and put them on plow sticks, yelling and whipping them to plant land in the camps inside the wall. It seems that they want to farm and make long-term plans.I almost twisted my nose in anger, thinking, what if this Yan is planning to withdraw the troops after harvesting the crops after autumn?The sultry midsummer has arrived, the land is simple and elegant, the sky is open and far-reaching, the heat in the afternoon makes our soldiers become lazy, and they are not at all like Zhang Yanjun, who is complacent and self-conscious.

"This kind of camp, hmph, my son will give me five thousand elite soldiers, and Wen Chou promises to turn them into rubble within an hour." Wen Chou was so angry that he thought to himself, I have been fighting for more than ten years, but I have never seen it. So arrogant.He actually saw a group of women in calico clothes, talking and laughing, carrying wooden basins to the well to wash clothes. ! !
Not only Wen Chou was angry, but Zhang Xiu was also quite angry, cursing loudly: "These bastards didn't even pay attention when they saw the army approaching the city. Look, look, those boys are still changing shifts for dinner. He Damn, I’ll capture the camp in a while, and I’ll have to take care of all these women.” Zhou Cang sneered; “Can you do that much by yourself?” Zhang Xiu said; “Aren’t there brothers? Zhang is not that kind of person, but seeing them so defiant, I feel angry." At this time, many men working in the fields rushed to the city wall to look at our tens of thousands of lions from a distance, pointing and pointing with great interest. , like watching a monkey.Some of these people seem to come from ancient primitive tribes. They pull a vine from the sweet potato field and wrap it around their waists to cover the most secret parts of men and women. They hold shovels, wrenches and axes covered in yellow mud in their hands.Standing in the ten-foot-high city wall made of braided rafters and purlins, I smiled at the outside.

Guo Jia stood high on the horse, pointing at this bland, quiet and inexplicable 'mountain village' with his whip; "Zhang Yan is really hateful, he wants to use these ordinary people to hold us back, so that we can't let go to attack the city, son, at this moment Don't have the kindness of a woman." I also know this, Guandu can't wait any longer, I must rush to kill Xu You as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late.

I shook my head and said, "Go back and rest first, and send troops to look for battle tomorrow morning." Amidst the creaking melody of wooden carts, I and a dozen generals behind me returned to the camp.

The next day, before dawn, all the generals and advisers got up and piled up in front of my commander's tent, asking how to send troops.When I came out with my helmet and crown armor on, I immediately got on my horse and said, "Go, go to the gate of his village and call for battle, see if he comes out or not." When everyone heard this, they immediately regained their spirits. Zhou Cang, the first to jump on his horse, rushed to lead his troops to kill.I smiled wryly and said, "Let's see if he goes out to fight or not. I'm afraid people will ignore us." Wen Chou didn't speak, thinking, if Zhang Yan didn't fight, it would be really not easy to break through the twenty-fold antlers.

Today's Zhang Yan's barracks still looks a bit better, at least there are a few more banners in the camp, which are floating in the warm south wind.Behind the wooden fence in the camp, there were hundreds more archers who looked like peasants. The posture of their bows and arrows was exactly like that of a plow stick, and the hand holding the knife was like holding an axe.Before I had time to laugh, Guo Jia came over and said, "My lord, don't be fooled. Zhang Yanjun's strength is definitely more than that. The only yellow-turban horse thief that has not been wiped out in recent years is the same as him." Zhang Yan has been domineering in the Youzhou generation of Jizhou for some time. During this period, neither Zhang Yang, Kong Rong, Lao Die nor Cao Cao can do anything to him, which shows that his military strength is not weak. The cannon fodder in front of me should be an illusion.

Zhang Yan and Yu Du still didn't show up today, and there wasn't even a serious commanding general in the camp, which made people feel a little discouraged when they wanted to fight, and couldn't get in if they wanted to rush in. it is good?I said to Zhou Cang: "Old Zhou, go scold the battle and let Zhang Yan come out for a decisive battle." As soon as Zhou Cang heard it, this is good, this bastard, I have long wanted to scold him.

Zhou Cang straddled his horse and led a dozen of his own soldiers to the outside of the village gate, shouting through the hundred-zhang antlers, "Zhang Yan, your ancestors—and, your ancestors— You come out for me, and I will fight you for a hundred rounds." Guo Jia and I looked at each other and felt that if Zhang Yan didn't come out again, he would lose face in the future.

There was still no movement in the camp, and those peasants with bows and crossbows were even chatting, as if they naturally refused to answer these foul words.Zhou Cang got angry and cursed loudly: "Yu Du, your mother, when I go to the village, I will definitely sleep with your wife. Believe it or not." This time someone inside answered. , the gray-bearded veteran holding a pipe in one hand, shouted loudly; "Little brother, you are tired, go back to rest when you are tired, this war is not something that happens overnight, don't rush. Also, we General Yu, he doesn’t have a wife at all, so you’d better sleep with another one. Don’t worry about his.” Zhou Cang thought to himself that you are quite laid-back and smoke a cigarette.He also imitated the old farmer and shouted; "Brother, how is the harvest in the field this year?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I barely starved to death, thanks to the protection of General Zhang and General Yu, otherwise I don't know what kind of crime I will suffer."

"Brother, what are you General Yu and General Zhang doing now?" Zhou Cang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.The old farmer quietly exhaled a puff of smoke from his mouth, shook off the ash on his body, and replied, "I didn't do anything, I just slept in the house."

When I heard it from the back, I thought to myself what the hell was going on, and the two of them came here to make things happen.I sternly said: "Come back, come back quickly." Zhou Cang had no choice but to turn back the horse and bid farewell to the old farmer before leaving; "Brother, I'm leaving." The old farmer opened the gate of the village and came out to see him off.

"I'll give you [-] infantrymen. Let me fight into the camp and come back. Don't worry about the friendship between you and that old brother. Don't use all your strength." I yelled.Zhou Cang smirked and said, "What brother, I'm teasing him."

Five thousand infantry, led by Zhou Cang, had just rushed to the edge of the antlers when the green grass under the wooden fence in the camp was suddenly lifted, and rows of strong bows and crossbows, as well as thousands of heads, appeared at the same time.In an instant, thousands of powerful arrows were shot at Zhou Cang's soldiers who were moving the antlers. At that time, dozens of people were hit by the arrows and fell to the ground wailing.The 'brother' who was chatting with Zhou Cang just now stuffed another thing into his mouth, this time it was not a pipe but a horn.The horns whimpered and blew, and the barking of chickens and dogs in the camp was immediately covered by a rush of horseshoes.Zhang Yan's elite soldiers finally appeared.Although Zhou Cang's men were infantry, what they held in their hands were strong crossbows captured from the Huns and Wuhuan.While Zhang Yanjun fired all his arrows, Zhou Cang's soldiers also started to shoot at them.At this time, the soldiers of Zhang Yan's army calmly erected a huge shield from the ground, covering their entire body.Because our soldiers had to free up their hands to remove the antlers, they didn't have shield soldiers. They suffered a disadvantage for a while, and nearly 100 people were shot to death and injured.With a wave of Wen Chou's hand, a row of shield soldiers behind him walked crampedly, squatting half-squat, and slowly went up, facing the arrows like a storm in the roaring wind, and advancing to the edge of the antlers with difficulty, unable to move forward Inch.

The sound of horseshoes approached from far to near, and a group of tens of thousands of cavalry appeared behind the crossbowmen, forming an array in the plains in front of Zuomu village. Yan arrived.The handsome flag has two sides, one is Zhang, of course it is Zhang Yan, and the other is Yu, of course it is Yu Du.Zhang Yan was not mighty at all on the horse. He was short and strong, with a neck as thick as his head. Wearing armor, he looked like a wine jar at first glance.Yu Po was more handsome than him, and older than Zhang Yan. He didn't have a helmet on his head, but was wrapped with a piece of yellow cloth with dried blood on it, which should be the evidence of his killing the enemy.The muscles on the face are raised, looking a little hideous.A pair of eyes stared at him for a moment, and Zhou Cang, who was directing five thousand infantry to attack the gate of the village, seemed to have heard Zhou Cang's words that he wanted to sleep with his wife, and had desperate thoughts.Yu Du thought to himself, I have a wife and I still keep it for myself, so I can sleep with you, it's a beautiful idea.Zhou Cang was also from the Yellow Turban Army before, but he didn't know Yu Du and Zhang Yan, so there was nothing he couldn't get rid of, so I'm sorry.Pei Yuanshao can't do it. His qualifications are earlier than Zhou Cang's. He was a small boss under Zhang Yan earlier. , still playing under the banner of parachutist Zhang Yan, he was a little scared when he saw Zhang Yan coming out, after all, he was an old superior, so he was also a little timid and embarrassed.

Zhang Yan didn't see him, he just stared at me through the wooden fence.But I turned my attention to the powerful lineup of generals behind him.There are six generals in total, all of whom Pei Yuanshao recognizes.He suddenly came over and said in a low voice: "My lord, I recognize all these people." I was stunned for a moment, and then I remembered that he was also from the Yellow Turban family, so that's even better, it's easy to have acquaintances.I smiled and said, "Do you also recognize the generals behind Zhang Yan?" Pei Yuanshao said with a wry smile: "Yes, yes. From left to right, they are Liu Shi, Qing Niujiao, Huang Long, Guo Daxian, and Li Damu. They are also good at martial arts. , if you can keep it for your own use, that's fine too."

After I heard this, I shook my head in my heart. These people's military discipline is too bad, worse than the Wuhuan cavalry, and they must not be all recruited, otherwise they will make trouble whenever they have the opportunity. When necessary, they still have to kill a few. Heinous.Pei Yuanshao said in a low voice, "Young Master, Yu Du can surrender." I said, "How do you know?" Pei Yuanshao said, "I just thought of it too. In the past, Yu Du once set up troops to go to Geluchang Mountain. In the battle with Cao Bing, Cao Cao once broke his brother "Yu Digen" and connived at the soldiers to kill his whole family and rape his wife. Because of this, Yu Du held a grudge in his heart, and he was always unwilling to join Cao Cao. Helpless, I thought, he should be able to induce surrender." My eyes lit up, and I was about to speak.But Zhang Yan at the gate of the village raised his hand and shouted, "Stop, no. I have something to say."

The arrows in Zhang Yan's village suddenly became sparse.Zhou Cang looked back at me, and I nodded.He also stopped the soldiers from shooting back.Zhang Yan shouted; "Open the gate of the village." The wooden gate of the village was pushed open creakingly, Zhang Yan and Yu Du came out from the crowd, and stood on their horses in the five zhang space between the gate of the village and the antlers in the front row. on the ground.Yu Du was the first to speak, and shouted sharply; "It was that lunatic who insulted me just now?" Zhou Cang stared at his bear eyes, and said carelessly, "I am scolding you, what do you want?" Yu Du looked at Zhou Cang and yelled, He was about to rush out on his horse, but was held down by Zhang Yan, and said in a low voice; "Old Yu, if you scold me a few words, you can't lose your meat. What's the big deal, if you can't bear it, you can make trouble." Yu Du blurted out: "You said He said he wants to sleep with my wife, can I bear it?" Zhang Yan smiled bitterly; "It's just talking, but it's not true, besides, brother, don't you have a wife?" Yu Duqi said; "Then Why did you ask me to come out, to see the scenery?" Zhang Yan said; "You just listen to me, let me tell."

Zhang Yan shook off Yu Du, took two steps forward on his horse, and said sharply, "Who is Yuan Shao's son, come out." I heard that this was a tone of one-on-one challenge.That's great, that's what I was thinking.Immediately agreed; "I'm here, I don't know what advice General Zhang has?" Zhang Yan looked at me sideways, with disdain on his face, and suddenly tilted his head and spit on the ground; The prime minister is against me, so let me advise you, quickly break off relations with your old man Yuan Shao, and join me under my command, and I, Zhang Yan, promise to ask you for an official position in front of the prime minister, how about that?" I haven't waited to speak.Wen Chou rushed up and shouted loudly: "Zhang Yan, do you dare to come out and compete with me?" Yu Du over there was also anxious, and sternly said, "Why don't you dare, I will go out and fight you to the death, and that ugly Ghost, come up together." He was talking about Zhou Cang.
