But at this moment, a sudden and rapid drumbeat came.The entire Yuan Shu's army rushed towards the Jingzhou army as if they were desperate, and the Han brothers immediately ran away on horseback when they saw something bad.

When the remaining soldiers saw this situation, they immediately collapsed, whether they ran or surrendered directly.Zhiyuan's remaining soldiers also came out from behind Yuan Shu's army. After all, their fighting power was stronger, and they basically defeated each other in an instant.

The Han brothers started running towards Fancheng without any hesitation, but suddenly they were a little west of them, behind a small hill.More than 500 cavalry could suddenly come out, because they were very fast on the side.

The leader of the two brothers is very familiar with him, and it is the most powerful general under Yuan Shu, Ji Ling.When the two of them saw the five hundred cavalrymen, they immediately trembled.

"Go around quickly, fast!" Han Xuan shouted to his men, their speed was not too slow, and they could run away more than 20 steps in front of the opponent with a time difference.

As for the war horses, the short-term sprints are similar to each other, and their war horses were also bought from Youzhou or Liangzhou, so the two brothers also have the confidence to run out.

But when the two sides approached, approaching fifty paces, the Han brothers suddenly saw that everyone on the other side's horse was neatly holding a short gun.

Then suddenly a speeding up and shaking hands...approaching more than 500 short guns, swept their team of more than 100 people like a dark cloud.In an instant..... Except for less than ten lucky ones, all of the more than 100 people were penetrated by short guns.

The acceleration of the horse is high, and the short spear is not long and is made of fine iron.Basically, as long as the area covered, there is no one who is not recruited.The Han brothers were no exception. Han Hao's head was directly pierced, and Han Xuan also had two blood holes in his chest.

When Ji Ling came here, he also felt a little cold all over.Those short javelins basically all pierced the ground, and none of them were still in the opponent's body.It can be seen how powerful this thing is. Five hundred cavalry charged with this thing, and it is estimated that two to three thousand cavalry can be tortured to death.

At least Ji Ling didn't think he could survive this kind of covering firepower.He looked at Han Xuan who had already vented too much energy, and couldn't help but feel sad for the death of the rabbit. "Go at ease, I guarantee that after we invade Fancheng, your family members will not be harmed."

Ji Ling really couldn't bear to see this kind of scene, even if he fights every day... On the contrary, Zhi Yuan's cavalry went straight down and started to make up the knife.If the thighs, or not vital organs, were penetrated, some cavalrymen actually took some special bandages to bandage them.

But for some enemies who were definitely unable to be saved, all of them were given a happy solution, which made Ji Ling have some strange illusions for a while.But it's a pity that the other party survived in the end, only a dozen people...

For the rest of the battlefield, it has entered garbage time.

Chapter 290: The Battle of Fancheng ([-])

To the northwest of Fancheng is another battlefield.Since Yuan Shu gave Sun Jian all his troops, Sun Jian's army was much larger than Huang Zu's.

But Huang Zu didn't have the slightest fear. He personally led the soldiers and two generals under him, Zhang Shuo and Chen, came to confront Sun Jian.Speaking of it, although he might not be able to beat Sun Jian, Huang Zu would never accept him.

In history, after he killed Sun Jianyin, he was always on the front line of the battle with the Sun family. Although he lost more than he won, he fought repeatedly.There is even Xiaosheng who shot and killed several generals of Soochow, he is not considered incompetent.

More importantly, at least this Huang Zu dared to fight and was never afraid of the enemy. This is why Liu Biao has always regarded him highly.

As soon as the two sides lined up, Huang Zu discovered that the opponent actually had the upper hand.However, I haven't seen Yuan Shu's information, which means Yuan Shu should still be near Fancheng.

"The other party actually increased their troops again..."

"We'll have a fight with the opponent in a while, and then we'll retreat to the dense forest and Baishan to the west to see if we can kill him with a sneak attack." Huang Zu really thought of the plan in history, and actually arranged an ambush .

It's just that the positions are slightly different, but the purpose is the same, that is to kill Sun Jian.

Huang Zu now has only 3 people here, and the remaining 1 people are all in ambush there, and everyone is carrying a strong bow and crossbow. They have been in ambush for about five or six days, as long as the arrows are fired. One gushed out.

There is no possibility of a one-on-one fight between the two sides, and they rushed forward directly.Sun Jian had too many subordinates, and there were quite a few who could fight. One-on-one would exhaust Huang Zu's men to death.

But even if the two sides fight each other, Huang Zu is not Sun Jian's opponent.The two had already started fighting, and Sun Jian directly led his men to attack Huang Zu's position, and Huang Zu naturally let his soldiers snipe, and the fight between the two sides was intense.

The battle lasted from noon to evening, and finally Huang Zu took advantage of the darkness to lead people out of the battle.Both sides had thousands of losses. Regardless of how Yuan Shu was trained by Zhi Yuan, it was only the training of the five thousand elites.

After all, on the battlefield, elites are not ordinary cannon fodder.When ordinary soldiers fight, it's good to know how to move in a phalanx, and most of the time they cut each other.

Huang Zu's arm was cut open by Sun Jian, and now he was bound up immediately, and led the remaining soldiers to quickly retreat to the ambush location.

On Sun Jian's side, he was also chasing after him closely. After all, he was only defeating the enemy now, not defeating the enemy.If you want to achieve greater results, you must completely kill Huang Zu's remaining 2 people.

The two sides fought while walking, and when they reached the woods where Huang Zu set up an ambush, it was almost morning.I can vaguely see the sky shining, but I can see it clearly from the perspective of the forest.

Both parties tried their best, but Sun Jian had long forgotten what Zhi Yuan had said to him.Careful ambush and so on, who would have thought that there would be an enemy ambush here after fighting for a whole day.

Huang Zu looked around, and it really looked like someone was ambushing. Someone had already sent a notification, so it should be almost ready.The other party was gradually entering the encirclement, Huang Zu was very happy.

After listening to my order, everyone took bows and arrows and shot in the direction of Mr. Sun Jian.At this time, Sun Jian led his men to charge up again. He is worthy of being called the Jiangdong Tiger, and he is very good at fighting.

Sun Jian wielded his big sword like a tiger, and there was no one around him who was his all-in-one enemy. The Jingzhou army basically fled far away, so Sun Jian and his men were more attractive at night. Eye-catching.

Suddenly Sun Jian himself became a little vigilant, because he felt that the surrounding woods were a little weird.Years of fighting made him vigilant, especially at this moment Sun Jian finally thought of Zhi Yuan's words.

After all, Zhiyuan had reminded him that Fenglin Moru... "Be careful, I don't think it's right." Sun Jian suddenly backed away, and there were a few generals beside him.

Huang Zu, who was not far away, naturally saw that Sun Jian was about to run, so he fired an arrow directly and asked his men, whoever held a bow, to shoot at Sun Jian.Now there are less than fifty steps on both sides, and there can be more than 200 people on Huang Zu's side.

These more than 200 people shot arrows together and flew directly towards Sun Jian.As soon as Sun Jian gritted his teeth, he suddenly felt that he might not really be doomed this time, so he brandished his big knife to resist desperately.

Suddenly, a general next to him turned his back to the direction of the arrow and blocked Sun Jian.In just an instant, the people nearby were more or less wounded by arrows, and the person standing in front of Sun Jian... probably had more than a dozen arrows on him.

"Zumao!" Sun Jian shouted...

The person who blocked Sun Jian's arrow was Zu Mao. Originally, he might have died in the battle with Hua Xiong, but because Liu Bei went to rescue him at that time, Zu Mao did not die.But maybe this is fate, Zu Mao is destined to use his life to save Sun Jian once.

However, Sun Jian was not unscathed, an arrow pierced Sun Jian's lower abdomen.Soon the remaining generals dragged Sun Jian to the back, as for Zu Mao, he was already out of breath...

Sun Jian wept bitterly, but there was no time now, because Huang Zu was preparing to counterattack.At this moment, something that no one thought of on the battlefield happened.

Didn't I say earlier that Huang Zu prepared an ambush here.As soon as the sounding arrows were fired, they shot arrows together to kill Sun Jian. As a result, only Huang Zu and his 200 men could not shoot the arrows, and there was no movement in the forests on both sides.

"Damn it, what are those ambush soldiers doing! Fire another arrow!" Huang Zu cursed twice, and then cursed at his subordinates.

Soon, several loud arrows rang out in succession, and the soldiers ambushing on both sides seemed to have a voice.Suddenly, a rain of arrows fell from the uphill, and the rain of arrows was so dense that it looked like a waterfall.

Huang Zuzheng was happy when he suddenly realized something was wrong.Because those arrow rains were actually coming towards him. "What's the situation? You guys are stupid..." Huang Zu quickly pulled the body of a bodyguard over and blocked him in front of him.

"Om..." Just one piece, I don't know how many arrows.Huang Zu's side could have withdrawn about [-] people, but this time at least one or two thousand people were killed or injured.This ratio is really not small, and it caused Huang Zu's already exhausted team to collapse directly.

"Kill!" Suddenly the sound of shouting to kill came from the mountain, Huang Zu was hit by two arrows in his limbs, but the soldiers missed the vital parts.He watched intently but found an army with a strange banner, because Dong was actually on that banner.

What's more, whether it's Jingzhou, Yuzhou or Yangzhou, Huang Zu has never seen this banner before.Of course, now is not the time for him to think about this. The other party's primary goal is to save their lives.

So Huang Zu directly cut off the arrow on his body from where the arrow was, and then ran to a distance... He planned to mix with a group of chaotic soldiers, and then leave from this forest.

But at this moment, a young general with a spear in his hand rushed down from the hillside, just in front of Huang Zu.

Chapter 290: Shangyong—Wancheng—Fancheng

A few minutes later...the young general with a spear in his hand had a head on his waist.After all, the general is very recognizable, and this young general is very powerful, and there is no enemy at all in what he has failed.

And on the uphill, a frail woman in a black robe looked at the situation below and said, "Brother Xiu'er is very powerful, but Uncle Wen You is also doing everything he can. Not only did he take over the ten thousand Jingzhou troops with ease, , and even killed the enemy generals here.”

"It should be called Huang Zu?" The delicate woman chuckled and looked down with a small telescope.Now that the sun is rising, everything can be seen clearly.

The refined literati at the side nodded: "The princess's subordinates have gone to see that person, and the banner should be Sun Jian. Back then, you and I were enemies. I didn't expect that there would be a day of cooperation now."

"But I seem to have seen just now that Sun Jian was shot by Huang Zu's team, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. If we annexed the opponent's team, we might be able to take down half of Jingzhou and lay the foundation for the future." And come out."

Who are these people?It was Jiang Qingqing and Li Ru.Ever since Jiang Qingqing took care of her body, she actually started to start her old business.He directly trained the 500 people he brought with him into a team of spies.

These spy teams easily mixed into the three counties of Shangyong, and cooperated with Zhang Ji to directly occupy Shangyong.And Li Ru also made suggestions on the sidelines, and even directly controlled the original Dong Cheng's subordinates.

Hmm...Dong Cheng and Hu Chi'er both died, and went with that Niu Fu.Zhang Ji took the lead, and because his nephew was too good, Zhang Ji directly gave over 1 of Niu Fu's men to Zhang Xiu.

And Zhang Ji knew very well in his heart that they were all warriors.If you don't find a counselor, you will die sooner or later, so naturally let Li Ru control about 1 people.And the name of these 1 people is not Li Ru, but Dong Bai.

Zhang Ji is now also Dong Bai's subordinate in name, and Dong Bai has matured a lot after going through this great change.Start to deal with some military matters, and try to lead an army by yourself.

More importantly, Dong Bai was also responsible for mediating the relationship between these subordinates.After all, Zhang Ji is a latecomer, and there must be some estrangement from the original few of them.So many times Dong Bai was in a mediating position, so that their Liangzhou army would no longer have civil strife.

Of course, Zhang Xiu actually has no conflict with Li Ru, both sides need each other... and Jiang Qingqing, who supports Dong Bai, can be regarded as married to Zhang Ji's nephew, which means that Zhang Ji will also catch up with him in the future Princess Xiangping's line.

No matter in the future whether to separate the regime and become a vassal, or rely on others to become a general, there are really too many paths Zhang Ji can choose.Especially after taking down Shangyong, Zhang Ji even had the idea of ​​being able to dominate one side.

Then he was severely slapped in the face by Li Ru, because their food and grass were declining rapidly.The land here in Shangyong is barren, and there is no food in the first place.And if you want to control this area, you can't let your subordinates wantonly plunder.

There are not tens of thousands of people here in total, so what will they eat after plundering themselves?Zhang Ji naturally understood this meaning, so after the last group of people discussed, they planned to come to Fancheng.See if you can take Nanyang County from Liu Biao.

Nanyang County is still very rich. Not far from here is the population or land, enough to feed their more than 4 people.So a group of people discussed and decided to keep Zhang Ji and Dong Bai to train and train his subordinates here in Shangyong, while Zhang Xiu and Li Ru led more than 2 people to Nanyang County.

Jiang Qingqing is already Zhang Xiu's official wife, and the two have tied the knot in Shangyong.Jiang Qingqing herself didn't take much care of her. In fact, she didn't intend to take the position of wife.But because Jiang Qingqing's ability is really outstanding, plus Zhang Xiu likes this girl very much.

So even if they couldn't have children, Zhang Ji finally agreed to their marriage.After all, Zhang Ji has a lot to think about, at least Princess Xiangping's reputation is too great now, and with the effect of Jiang Qingqing's colorful clothes, even if Zhang Xiu can't have children in the future, so what if Zhang Xiu marries a concubine and has a son?

Although Jiang Qingqing wouldn't expose the people in their colorful clothes, the hundreds of people behind were really planning for this team.After all...if he can win these tens of thousands of people into Zhiyuan's hands, it will indeed be very beneficial to his future career.

Especially now that Zhang Xiu has actually understood himself, and Jiang Qingqing's ideas are quite brainwashed, let alone Zhang Xiu, even Zhang Ji feels that if he can really build a world where everyone has enough to eat, it is indeed worth fighting for of.

They were born in Liangzhou, and they were all from Wuwei. They were hungry and full when they were young. They wanted to enter the Central Plains not because it was rich.But Zhang Ji himself didn't believe it. After all, he had food to eat and could read books... Don't be ridiculous, this kind of thing can only be realized in a dream.

Zhang Xiu and Li Ru and Jiang Qingqing led [-] troops to Nanyang County.They entered from the northwest of Nanyang County, and they took down several towns very smoothly at first.

For example, Danshui, Nanxiang, Shunyang, Champion and other places.It wasn't until a group of people captured Nanyang Wancheng, which was guarded by only 3000 people, that they knew that all the soldiers from Nanyang County were fighting Yuan Shu in Fancheng.

Some didn't know how to do this, and several people discussed with each other whether they should join the battle.It is said that Yuan Shu has a very close friendship with Zhi Yuan, and there is no conflict of interest with Zhang Ji at all.

And because Yuan Shu is a big family in Yuzhou, they can also buy and sell grain and grass with each other.Naturally, Jiang Qingqing can talk to Yuan Shu, and it is estimated that more benefits can be obtained in this way.

While they were discussing, someone suddenly reported that a team of more than 1000 people had come to Wancheng to meet Zhang Xiu and the others.The leader of the group called himself Qingzhou Army Pei Yuanshao, and he came here this time to look for Jiang Qingqing.

"They came to look for me..." Jiang Qingqing suddenly felt like crying.In any case, Pei Yuanshao was among the people who saved him back then.

Jiang Qingqing ran out like crazy, and Zhang Xiu who was behind didn't know what expression he had on his face. After all, he was afraid that Jiang Qingqing would return to Qingzhou.On the contrary, Li Ru, who was not far away, smiled: "The princess' subordinates, even women, have careers."

"Since the general married this woman, he should respect the other party's ideas. In fact, neither Princess Xiangping nor Jiang Qingqing is a heartless person. Therefore, the general should give the other party freedom and believe that the other party will not betray you. "

Zhang Xiu sighed, and then said to Li Ru: "Then what about the future? How should we choose? Should we join the princess' camp, or find a way to make a living in the troubled times?"

Li Ru laughed: "I'm different from you. My purpose is revenge! And many people said that I killed the young emperor Liu Bian, but I was tricked by that princess at the time. I really haven't killed an emperor."

"Perhaps we can return to Chang'an in the future and complete my revenge...Where did my wife and daughter die? Tell me. What should I do in the future?"

This time it was Zhang Xiu's turn to sigh, not knowing what to say.

Chapter 290: Meeting

Pei Yuanshao and Zhang Baiqi happened to escort everyone Cai to come here. They were a caravan team, so the princes basically would not come to rob.After all... This kind of caravan in troubled times is the most important. All the food, grass and horses are purchased from these caravans, and no one wants to offend.

So apart from some bandits along the way, no one had their ideas on them.It is indeed difficult for bandits to deal with 1000 of them.

A group of people came to Shangyong smoothly, and learned about Jiang Qingqing through Dong Bai.Then the two of them came to Wancheng non-stop, and only then did they come to see Jiang Qingqing.

No matter how the relationship between several people is here, Jiang Qingqing finally feels relieved when she sees them.Especially when they heard that they were married, let alone how happy they were.So he immediately brought a group of people into Wancheng, and then introduced Zhang Xiu and Li Ru to them to get to know each other.

Now knowing that Jiang Qingqing is fine, Pei Yuanshao and the others are relieved.As for Jiang Qingqing marrying Zhang Xiu, so what, their friendship still has some special relationship, which cannot be changed just by marrying someone.

Moreover, the two of them had no intention of taking Jiang Qingqing away, which made Zhang Xiu feel relieved.At least Zhang Xiu discovered that the people in Qingzhou actually cared about what other people thought, and there was no relationship between them.

Finally, it was where they were going. Several people checked the situation. Since Yuan Shu was in Fancheng, they should go to Fancheng too.Otherwise, they are also planning to attack Liu Biao. If they can form an alliance with Yuan Shu through Pei Yuanshao and Jiang Qingqing, then they will be much safer in the future.

After all, there are only 5 to [-] people, and how big an area can be controlled.Being able to control a small half of the Shangyong area in Hanzhong and half of Nanyang County is already a period of time for them to recuperate.

After all, here in Nanyang County, the products are very prosperous.Historically, Liu Xiu himself could raise an army of [-] to [-] by relying only on a small place like Wancheng, not to mention that they now control at least half of Nanyang.

Then they started to go to the vicinity of Fancheng. A few days later, the cavalry came back and reported that a messenger had been caught... After Li Ru glanced at the letter on the messenger, he burst out laughing.

"It's good luck, someone sent us an army in a short while." Li Ru directly changed the letter, and then used the token on the messenger to deceive the 1 people who were originally ambushed by Huang Zu on the mountain.

Then it is to kill the leading generals here, and it is easy to control the 1 soldiers.Then Zhang Xiu sent [-] people to escort these people back to Wancheng, and he replaced them in ambush on the hillside.

It was too dark at the beginning, even if Jiang Qingqing had the telescope that Zhiyuan gave her, it was useless, so they were afraid of making mistakes when the two sides fought.So Zhang Xiu waited until he could see clearly before giving the order to shoot the arrows and charge.

Among the more than 4 people brought by Huang Zu, except for some who died in the fight with Sun Jian.Most of the rest were captured by the two armies, and Zhang Xiu basically made a lot of money here, and there were about [-] prisoners in one trip to Fancheng.

On Pei Yuanshao's side, he also immediately contacted Zhang Baiqi and revealed his identity... There was really no need for the two sides to fight, so they immediately began to clean up the battlefield.

But the main trouble now is that Sun Jian was injured... Since the injury was in the lower abdomen, Sun Jian didn't dare to pull it out.Even some doctors who accompanied the army did not dare to pull it out...

This is troublesome, because there are indeed many things near the lower abdomen.The doctor even said that he might have to prepare for the funeral. If Sun Jian hadn't stopped him, his group of men would have killed the doctor.

At this time, Pei Yuanshao said to Sun Jian and the others: "A friend of ours, Jiang Qingqing, was also seriously injured. He was rescued by a doctor at Zhang Ji's side. How about we go over there and have a look?"

Upon hearing this...a group of people directly carried Sun Jian to Zhang Xiu's side to inquire. Now the arrow has not been pulled out, but after all, because it has not been pulled out, there is not a lot of blood stuck in it. .

But Sun Jian was in great pain, and a group of people immediately carried Sun Jian to Zhang Xiu's side.Then Zhang Xiu was also a little worried... because the doctor, that is, Wang Shenxian, had already left...

It is said that Wang Shenxian has a good relationship with an official in Nanyang, and it is said that the official can also heal...even better than Wang Shenxian, and his name is Zhang Ji.But the main problem is, because he cured Jiang Qingqing's illness, he gave away gifts without asking him where he was going.

This is very embarrassing...but you can't let Sun Jian wait to die, right?Jiang Qingqing sighed, and then said: "If my sister Zhiyuan is here, maybe there is still salvation..."

After saying this, everyone was stunned.Huang Gai jumped up: "Really, Princess Xiangping still has such abilities?!"

Pei Yuanshao nodded at the side: "At least I've seen that she can cure some diseases, but I'm not sure if she can treat this kind of injury. But I guess if the young master can't cure it if she can't find a doctor, then basically No one can heal it."

"But the current young master should be in Xuzhou. General Sun's injury may not last until then."

Han Dang, Sun Jian's subordinate, got on his horse immediately: "It seems that we are lucky. The princess herself is near Fancheng. If we go back quickly... it won't even take half a day."
