Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Page 196

During this period of time, Zhang Yun was very aggrieved. His [-] strong soldiers were enough to attack the city, but they were completely unable to implement the previous tactics in the mountains. He wondered how he would fight the battle of entering Shu in the future?

"Ming Jin withdraws troops." Zhang He ordered the messengers beside him.

Dangdang, the sound is particularly clear and piercing.

The desperate army in the front retreated behind Zhang Xi one after another. Zhang Fei pushed aside his halberds and walked to the front of the formation, laughing: "You gave up so quickly. How many times did you have to be humiliated to remember? I'm the one who can afford it of?"

"Zhang Fei, don't be complacent, Yan Yan's white head may have been chopped off."

Zhang Yun's face was as heavy as water at this time. He was no match for Zhang Fei in a one-on-one fight, and the soldiers didn't have an advantage in hedging. He would never admit defeat in terms of momentum and words.

Zhang Fei was so bored with scolding that he was about to go back to the camp when he suddenly saw fire erupting from the Daqing Mountain in the south, so he pointed in that direction and sneered, "Son Zhang He, let's look back for yourself, whoever is plotting is not sure."

Zhang Yun turned his head suspiciously, and found that there was indeed a fire on the top of the mountain. The fact that the flames could be seen from such a distance indicated that they were actually burning very vigorously, and that location was where his camp on the mountain was.

Zhang He left a lot of people on the mountain. Why didn't anyone rescue him when he accidentally caught fire?Moreover, the temperature on the mountain is very low in winter, how can there be an accidental fire?

He turned his head and stared at Zhang Fei with wide eyes, a very bad premonition welled up in his heart, could it be related to this black fellow?

Chapter 422 Who Can Resist This?

"Zhang Fei, you won't be able to scare me by playing tricks. You'd better keep half your eyes open when you sleep at night, otherwise you won't be able to protect your black head." Zhang Yun walked down the narrow pass after speaking harshly.

The situation of the fire on Daqing Mountain is unknown, Zhang He acted cautiously and did not return to help. On the one hand, he had to guard against Zhang Fei, on the other hand, the road up and down the mountain was too dangerous, and large-scale mountaineering at night would undoubtedly lead to his own death.

When the army rested by the side of the road, Zhang He dispatched capable scouts to climb the cliffs up the mountain and go around the trail to the Dangqu River to investigate. Zhang He was a little suspicious of Zhang Fei at this time. After all, that black face could not conceal the secret. Could it be that he really What conspiracy?

The water beside the road murmurs, and the birds in the mountains sing.

Zhang He opened his eyes and found that the sky was already dark. He slept lightly because of too much thinking at night. As soon as he woke up, he urged the soldiers to eat dry food to satisfy their hunger, and the temporary garrison sites started to move one after another.

At this time, the scout who went to Dangqu came back in embarrassment and told him that the Dangqu camp was still in Yan Yan's hands.

After hearing this, Zhang Yun felt that the dry biscuits in his mouth could not be swallowed, and he seemed to have really fallen into Zhang Fei's trap.

Zhang Yun looked up at the Daqing Mountain and stared at it for a long time, but he still didn't see the scouts coming back up the mountain. His heart became extremely heavy at this moment, thinking that something might be wrong with Yang Ang and the camp on the mountain.

After a simple analysis, Zhang Xi thought that even if the Dangqu camp was still in Yan Yan's hands, it would be exhausted by Yang Ang, so he decisively drove his troops westward. As long as he wiped out Yan Yan with all his might, he could turn to the north. Replenishment at Hanchang, and finally escaped Bashan along the mountain road.

Yang Ang's life and death were uncertain and he couldn't care about the people looting from the mountain, so Zhang Yun decided to slip away first.

Generals without any foundation can be safely used by any force, because they cannot threaten other people, but they are also very easy to be sacrificed as cannon fodder.

Zhang Yun has followed Cao Cao since he surrendered at Guandu, and has often cooperated with other generals in suppressing rebellions and conquests in various places. He has survived intact until now. Apart from his own strength, his biggest advantage is that he knows the times and knows how to advance and retreat. The so-called honor recklessly.

On the way Cao Jun marched towards Yan Yan's camp, Zhang Yun continued to send sentries to Dangqu to monitor the situation, and left scouts behind to monitor Zhang Fei. He didn't want to be flanked by two sides in the narrow mountain road.

After traveling less than ten miles, the scouts in front came back in a panic and reported: "General, Yan Yan's army was spotted three miles ahead..."

"How many troops did Yan Yan come?" Zhang He asked.

"The rest of the comrades were all shot, so I dare not get too close. There seem to be a lot of them..." the scout explained.

After listening to the scout's narration, Zhang Yun guessed that Yan Yan had brought out all the soldiers and horses of the Dangqu camp, thinking that this old guy is too long-lived?How dare those two or three thousand soldiers come out to fight me recklessly?

"Order all the ministries to check the swords, guns and armor immediately. Let's kill Yan Yan in one go, and then go to Hanchang to replenish." Zhang He ordered the messenger beside him.

"Wei." The orderly received the order and patted his horse away.

In less than half an hour, the two armies encountered by the mountains and valleys. Because the shoals beside the road were wider, this was the place Zhang He chose to fight.

When Zhang He saw Yan Yan's soldiers in formation, his warm face turned cold, because he found that the opponent's total strength was almost equal to his own.

He wondered if Zhang Fei had divided his troops?Or did Yang Ang lead the crowd to defect?That must be the way to explain it.

At this time, Yan Yan lined up with his sword, pointed at Zhang He and sneered: "My son Zhang He, you are already a bereaved dog, why don't you dismount and surrender quickly? Otherwise, today will be your death day next year."

Zhang Yun yelled: "Old Yan Yan, did Yang Ang surrender? Tell him to come out and see me."

Yan Yan turned around and asked, "Ling Ming, Zhang Yun wants to see Yang Ang."

Pang De patted his horse and walked to the front of the formation, and raised Yang Ang's head with one hand, "Zhang He, Yang Ang has been killed by me. If you insist on seeing him, I can help."

"Pang De, you are actually..." Zhang He looked surprised.

When the generals in Hanzhong surrendered to Cao Cao, they all insisted that Pound had fled back to Xiliang. For this reason, Xia Houyuan sent someone to Liangzhou to inquire, but unexpectedly appeared in Yizhou.

"Duke Wei treats you well, so how can you follow the thief today? If you defect, you can forget the past." Seeing that Yang Ang had given the leadership, Zhang He mistook the number of Cao soldiers in the army behind, and shouted loudly to incite the "Cao Jun" who surrendered temporarily.

Another general walked out from the opposite formation, Zhang Yun was shocked to see this man with a red face and long beard, he thought Guan Yu had come from Jingzhou, but upon closer inspection he found that there was still a gap in appearance.

"Son Zhang He, don't waste your words. Your soldiers are now on the mountain. We are all soldiers from Yizhou." Wei Yan said coldly.

"Who are you?" Zhang He frowned.

Wei Yanxu raised his eyes and shouted proudly: "Nanyang Wei Yan is also."

"Meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins. What are you waiting for if you are afraid of me? If you are afraid of me, retreat quickly. This general will spare you."

When Zhang Yun was talking, he kept staring at Pound. He instinctively felt that Ma Chao's general was not easy to mess with, but he thought he should be much easier to deal with than Zhang Fei.

Yan Yan stroked his white beard and sneered: "We are waiting for General Zhang, what are you waiting for?"

Zhang Yun was startled when he heard that, he almost forgot the existence of the black servant, he left a secret whistle behind him, Zhang Fei shouldn't dare to chase after him, right?Although he was desperately trying to convince himself, the sweat was pouring out of his forehead unsatisfactorily.

"Kill me." Zhang Yun didn't dare to wait any longer, and directly commanded an army of ten thousand people to charge.

Suddenly, the sound of killing in the valley was loud, and Zhang Yun pointed his gun at Yan Yan and charged. He found Yan Yan was at the forefront just now, and he planned to capture the thief first and the king at this time.

Yan Yan's current military position is partial general. Compared with General Wei Yanpi and Pound's Zhonglang General, he has the highest position among the three, so he is the leader when Zhang Fei is not around.

Seeing Zhang He rushing like a gust of wind, when the spear was about to approach Yan Yan, the red-faced and long-bearded Wei Yan slashed at him from the slope.

锵

Zhang Yun hurriedly reined in his horse and blocked it with his gun, and then the two men clashed with swords and guns, the horses turned back and forth, and the two of them fought together.

The two fought fiercely, and Zhang Yun seemed to see Guan Yu's shadow on Wei Yan's body, so he slammed Wei Yan's sword away, and ran out of the opponent's attack range with his feet clamped on the horse's belly.

Before Zhang He had time to catch his breath, he felt a gust of cool wind above his head. He instinctively leaned on the horse's neck, and saw a white light passing by in the sky. Pound's horizontal knife was narrowly dodged by Zhang He.

"Pound, do you dare to sneak attack?"

Zhang He got up and shot back the carbine, stabbing at a very tricky angle, but Pang De accurately avoided it.

"Son Zhang He, is this the only weight? If I planned to sneak attack, you would have died several times when you fought with Wen Chang just now." Pang De laughed and mocked.

Zhang Yun had just left Wei Yan, and was entangled by Pound again. After several rounds, he was frightened. Pang De's martial arts were comparable to Wei Yan, and the two were not far behind Zhang Fei.

At this time, Zhang He was eating bitter melon raw. He complained that Liu Bei's fierce generals gathered together and let him meet them all. Even if Xu Chu came, he couldn't stand it.

Chapter 423 I'm Not Here

Zhang He and Pound also fought for seven or eight rounds, and the huge mental pressure made his marksmanship flustered a little. At this time, the sound of shouting came from behind.

"It's General Yide who has arrived." Wei Yan cut down a Cao soldier and reminded Pound loudly.

Hearing Zhang Fei's name, Zhang Yun felt as if his head had been hit by a hammer. He then struggled to remove Pound's handle, then slapped his horse's butt to escape from the battle group, and was squeezed to the riverside while running in a panic.

Zhang He's soldiers will be attacked from both sides, and the opponent's troops are still superior to their own, and their morale will gradually be disintegrated.

"Hahaha, Zhang He, why did you escape to the river again? I will capture him alive today."

Zhang Fei's eyes were like torches, and the sound of thunder was like running thunder. He saw Zhang He running along the beach from a distance.

Zhang Yun raised his head and glanced at Zhang Fei. The black-faced evil spirit was clearing out the 'obstacles' and coming towards him. Wei Yan and Pound looked at him like prey in the east, and they also approached slowly with a knife.

Watching Cao Bing fall down row by row, Zhang Yun knew that he would not be able to get away no matter how hard he tried. Looking at the river flowing westward, he had an idea, dismounted decisively, took off his heavy armor, and jumped into the icy river.

In the first lunar month, there is heavy dew in the mountains, and because of the lush forests around, the sun cannot fully shine into the valley. The temperature on the shore is already very low, and the river water is as cold as can be imagined.

Difficulties are not worth mentioning in the face of survival, and more and more Cao soldiers followed Zhang Xi's example and went down the river.

The one with poor physique sank on the spot because of cramps, and this tributary of dangling water suddenly became as lively as dumplings.

There were fewer and fewer Cao soldiers on the bank, and most of those who jumped into the river were swept away by the icy water. Only a few dozen people left who managed to escape to the opposite bank with Zhang Yun.

Zhang Fei held his spear and looked at the opposite bank and cursed: "Son Zhang He, this didn't freeze you to death. You really have a good relationship with the river. Why don't you change your name to Zhang He?"

"Zhang Fei, today's revenge will be avenged, you just wait for me..."

Zhang He's teeth trembled when he spoke. Fortunately, he stayed in the north all year round and got used to the cold, so he climbed up the mountain on the other side with the support of his entourage.

"General, shall we cross the river to chase?" Pound asked with his fists clasped.

Zhang Fei shook his head, "Chasing must be pursued, but we still need to find a bridge to cross the river."

"This cofferdam fishing method really works. It took Zhang Xi such a long time, and he was easily resolved by General Yide." Yan Yan sighed sincerely.

Pang De clasped his fists and boasted: "The general is exhaustive, and Cao Cao's subordinates may hardly be able to match him."

"Stop boasting, I just listened to a few more lectures in the martial arts hall. The conspiracy and tricks are not as good as Zhang He's, and the so-called conspiracy is better." Zhang Fei nodded.

"What should we do now? There are still many captives and civilians in Daqingshan." Wei Yan interjected and asked.

"Badong and Brazil were harassed by Zhang He, and we need to send people to appease and stabilize the captives and civilians on the mountain, so General Yan will take care of them," Zhang Fei ordered.

"Wei." Yan Yan clasped her fists and accepted the order.

Zhang Fei continued to order: "Zhang Yun must flee back to Hanzhong along the mountain trail, Wen Chang (Wei Yan) led his troops to search in the direction of Xuanhan, and I personally led an army to search in the direction of Hanchang.

Everyone used one month as the deadline, so let’s just forget about it if you can’t find it. Zhang Yun is not an important person, so there is no need to waste food for him. "

"The general is right." Wei Yan agreed.

"There may still be Cao soldiers in Xuanhan, Wen Chang can destroy them along the way." Zhang Fei reminded.

"Wei." Wei Yan clasped his fists and nodded.

Pang De saw that everyone had plans, but Zhang Fei forgot himself, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Third General, what should I do?"

"Zhang Ying's two months of chaos, the elder brother and the military adviser must be worried, I will write a letter to you immediately, ordering Ming to travel to Dangqu County by water, and send the information to Chengdu early." Zhang Fei explained.

"The last general can also search mountains..."

"Obey the order, you go directly to Dangqu Wharf."

"only."

Pang De didn't finish his sentence, and was directly interrupted by Zhang Fei to give an order. In the end, he could only cup his fists to express his obedience.

Zhang Fei and Pang De drove to the Dangqu camp. He briefly described the battle in the letter, and then handed it to Pound and said, "It's a good job to go back to Chengdu to report the victory. I think you have the right to arrange it like this. It makes you feel better." Ming will not be satisfied with General Zhonglang, will he?"

"Thank you, the three generals, for your support." Pound almost burst into tears. He thought that Zhang Fei looked down on him, but he gave him a promotion opportunity backhandedly.

"Work hard, big brother has discerning eyes, and he won't treat you badly." Zhang Fei patted Pang De on the shoulder to encourage him.

Because Zhang Fei's military power belongs to the peak existence, he prefers to be close to scholars like Liu Ba. The generals in the camp only have a few friends like Zhao Yun. Later generals like Wei Yan, Huo Jun, Yan Yan, etc., most of them reported to Zhang Fei. Awe.

Pang De was rescued from Hanzhong by Lantian, which is also the fundamental reason why Zhang Fei favored him. On the one hand, it was because of the close relationship between Mr. Zhang and Lantian. In addition, Liu Bei once said that Lantian would not recommend people easily. Is a pillar of talent.

With gratitude, Pang De took a boat from Dangqu to the south, bypassed the Dianjiang River and took the Fushui to land in Fucheng, and then rushed to Chengdu by land without stopping to report the victory.

Although spring returned in February at this time, the land of Shu was still shrouded in cold air.

When Pang De arrived in Chengdu, there was still light snow in the sky.

Because the weather outside was too cold, Liu Bei often held shabu-shabu banquets at General Zuo’s mansion during this time, and discussed Yizhou’s military affairs with Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Fazheng and others. Because of the untimely transmission of winter information, he was also very worried about the battle situation in Dangqu .

The guards reported that Pang De came to show the victory, and everyone in the hall immediately put down their chopsticks. Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Congratulations, my lord, Yide must have won the battle."

"Why is the military commander so sure?" Liu Bei looked puzzled.

"If it's just a small victory, Yide won't send a general to report the victory..." Zhuge Liang analyzed.

"General Pang, please enter the hall and ask for it." Liu Bei nodded.

Pound was allowed to stride in, and found that the hall was steaming and very warm. There was a small copper pot in front of each person's desk, and the smell of food filled the pot.

Apart from Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Fazheng, the people in the hall were all subordinates of General Zuo's mansion Dong He, Xu Jing, Liu Yan, etc. They were very happy and lively.

Pound stepped forward and presented Zhang Fei's letter with both hands, saying: "The three generals defeated Zhang Yun in Dangqu. He was worried that the master was worried about the battle situation, so he sent the last general back to report victory."

"Lingming has worked hard all the way." Liu Bei nodded lightly while holding the letter, and then told the waiter in the hall: "Add a seat for General Pang, just eat something to warm up."

"Thank you, my lord." Pound clasped his fists and sat down.

Pound looked at the shabu-shabu boiling in front of him. He had never seen the ingredients on the plate before, and it smelled a little fishy.

While Liu Bei was reading the letter, Zhuge Liang pointed to the shabu-shabu on the table and introduced: "This is a shabu-shabu. General Pang can put a small amount of food into the pot and simmer it. It will definitely open your eyes."

"Is this... edible?"

Pound picked up a black thorn, which was as soft as a big caterpillar. It was hard for him to believe that this thing was something he had eaten.
