After Zhang Yan stayed in Lujiang for two and a half years, he suddenly returned to the north. When he didn't pay attention, he got a cold.
……
Fortunately, long before departure, Zhang Yan ordered to bring all kinds of medicines that might be encountered.
After eating two large bowls of ginger soup to drive away the cold, Zhang Yan was finally able to pull himself together to face his next meeting with his old friend Cao Cao.
……
"Oh, Zijing, where are we now?"
"Have you ever entered Chenliu?"
Not far to the south of Liu Bei and others, Zhang Yan was riding a white horse and asked his man feebly amidst a burst of army power.
It has been ten days since they left.
Looking at the endless hills in the distance, Zhang Yan only felt that his forehead was slightly swollen.
Back then, he also led a team to fight the local Yellow Turban Army in the Taiyuan area of Hedong, but after more than two years of his birthday, he suddenly returned to this long-term military career, which really made Zhang Yan a little uncomfortable.
"I don't know when I will be able to enter Chenliu territory..."
"Have we advanced on the moor for two days, or three?"
Zhang Yan thought silently in his heart.
……
"My lord, if the map is correct, then according to the pioneer's news, Chenliu County is a few miles away."
Following Zhang Yan's side, Lu Su's spirit was obviously not too good.
Chapter 11 Enemy attack?
No way, reality is not fiction, and not everyone can easily adapt to the high-intensity lifestyle in the army.
Looking sleepily at the star image in the distance, Lu Su hesitated for a moment, then turned to Zhang Yan and said:
"My lord, why don't we find a place to camp first."
"It's getting dark now, even if we enter Chenliu's territory overnight, we may not be able to find a place to stay in the first place. We will have to go at least dozens of miles to Suanzao County."
……
"Why don't we find a nearby river tonight, camp along the river first, and rest early."
"The remaining dozens of miles will be covered in one day tomorrow, no matter what."
……
After hearing this, Zhang Yan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.
He didn't hold back anymore, just stretched on the horse's back, and then whispered:
"Okay, then according to your wishes, first find a suitable place to camp."
"I haven't fully recovered recently, so I'll leave it to you to arrange for the troops to be stationed."
……
In this way, a group of people quickly found a relatively flat area along the confluence of the road, and set up camp and settled down.
At the same time, the gang leaders who accompanied the army also began to cook.
On the march, there is only one chance to eat hot food a day.
In the morning and noon, because of the rush to travel, most of the troops used the dry food carried with them to satisfy their hunger.
This point, even the Lujiang army under Zhang Yan's command is no exception.
And a meal at night is one of the few opportunities for soldiers to have a bowl of hot food.
Regardless of whether it is noodles or soup with scones, in Yanzhou, which is experiencing the cold spring, such food can already stimulate the will of the soldiers to a large extent.
To put it bluntly, many soldiers in the barracks were secretly thinking about what they would eat that night when they set off for an hour or two in the morning.
……
Soon, a bonfire was raised in the camp, and a small number of soldiers began to cut down the surrounding trees under the command of the chief, and formed a circle around the perimeter of the camp to form a simple camp.
The rest of the soldiers, while drooling, smelled the faint fragrance in the air, and set up tents in the camp.
If there is no accident, tonight's meal should be a thick soup made of bacon.
After a lot of salting and air-drying, bacon can be stored for a long time even in a place like Lujiang where the water vapor is extremely rich.
This is also the main method for many people in Lujiang to preserve meat on weekdays.
……
This time, in order to properly boost morale, Zhang Yan brought a lot of bacon in the army ration.
Along the way, although they didn't feel as comfortable eating and drinking as they did when they were training in their hometown Lujiang, the standard of living of this army was much higher than that of other soldiers of the same era, even more than that.
Looking at the busy scene of soldiers in the camp, Zhang Yan couldn't help yawning.
According to Lu Su, if there is no accident, they will officially enter Chenliu tomorrow, and they may even directly reach Suanzao County, where Cao Cao is currently recruiting troops.
Having not seen each other for such a long time, Zhang Yan is inevitably a little curious about how his old friend is doing now, whether he still "does what he wants" like when he was in Luoyang back then, and he and Yuan Shao would snatch civilian girls at every turn.
……
However, since he has chosen to publicly correct the edict and unite the heroes of the world to fight against Dong Zhuo, Zhang Yan believes that Cao Cao today must have grown a lot compared to before, or he has made progress.
While he and Le Jin were chatting about Cao Cao's current situation, there was a sudden cry from outside the camp, faintly, and the sound of fighting.
……
"No, there is an enemy attack!"
With the call of a sentinel, the entire Lujiang army bombed the camp instantly, and a large number of soldiers began to take up weapons and rushed towards the gate of the camp.
……
"Huh? Enemy attack?"
On the side, seeing many soldiers rushing out of the camp, Zhang Yan was taken aback for a moment, and then felt a little strange.
"We haven't even arrived at Chen Liu, and the enemy hasn't seen a single shadow, so where did the attack come from?"
Quickly turned around and cupped his fists towards Le Jin, Zhang Yan didn't care about greeting him, so he just followed behind those soldiers and rushed out of the tent.
……
"What's going on?! Who was standing guard outside the camp just now, come here to see me!"
……
"Where are the enemies and how many are there? Did you see the flag?"
……
As soon as he got out of the gate, Zhang Yan saw a black army, which had already blocked the road near the gate of the camp.
At the same time, Pei Yuanshao's distinctive voice also reached Zhang Yan's ears.
Looking around, I don't know if the long-term emergency assembly training at night has been effective. Although these soldiers were in a mess when they were in the camp just now, when they gathered outside the camp, every soldier was wearing armor, with hands in his hands. It's not too embarrassing to stick to weapons.
In Zhang Yan's eyes, these people faintly formed a semicircle, surrounding several blurred figures in the distance.
……
And not far in front of Zhang Yan, Pei Yuanshao, as the first general to react, was already rectifying the soldiers and controlling the situation at the scene.
Beside Pei Yuanshao, there were a few Lujiang soldiers in light clothes, talking in a hurry.
Seeing the figure of the other party riding a white horse and shouting loudly in the distance, Zhang Yan immediately squeezed through the wall of people around him, and rushed towards the center of the army formation where the other party was.
Are you kidding me... Now that I have just arrived in Chenliu, there is a late-night enemy attack, is that okay?
Since when did the roads in the Central Plains like Chenliu become so dangerous?
Zhang Yan frowned tightly before seeing the enemy's figure.
……
"what happened?"
"Old Pei, what happened outside just now, why did you camp out all of a sudden?"
"I heard from soldiers on the road that there was an enemy attack. Where is the enemy?"
As soon as he arrived at Pei Yuanshao's side, Zhang Yan hurriedly asked him.
……
"Uh, my lord, you...how did you come here?"
Seeing Zhang Yan approaching, Pei Yuanshao's expression also froze, and then he hurriedly pulled him back, and retreated tens of meters, until he retreated into the protection of a group of soldiers, and then stopped.
"My lord, the swords outside the tent are dangerous, please pay more attention, don't put yourself in danger."
"I also just came out not long ago. I heard what the soldiers outside the tent said. It seems that a few soldiers encountered the enemy when they went out to fetch water. I didn't see clearly how many soldiers were there and who they were..."
Speaking of this, Pei Yuanshao had a look of embarrassment on his face:
"My lord, you also know that most of the soldiers under our command were killed in the deep mountains and old forests with those Shanyue thieves in the Jiangdong area. It's dark today, so it's inevitable that they are too sensitive..."
"Why don't you wait here for a while, don't leave the protection of these soldiers."
"Let me go ahead and have a look to see where this guy came from. He is so short-sighted and dares to run wild near our camp!"
……
Chapter 12 The Han Clan
The ancients once said: success comes from all, and the prophet is also.
In other words, whether it is an ancient war or a modern war, the acquisition of intelligence is an indispensable part.
It may be that the high-intensity march made the soldiers a little tired, or it may be because they will soon arrive at the destination Suanzao. The victory that is close at hand makes the soldiers a little slack. After ten days of continuous marching, the troops under Zhang Yan , I even forgot to check the surrounding environment first before setting up camp.
Only then did a few people reach the vicinity of the camp, and only then were they discovered by the soldiers who were camping.
