.    Chapter 353 Jiangdong suffers another defeat

    Just after Huang Gai and the others waited with bated breath for half a stick of incense, the sound of horse tramping came from far and near. Everyone who heard this sound, whether it was Huang Gai's generals or the surrounding soldiers hidden in the mountains, was worried.  A jolt.  The right hand that was pressing on the rock was slightly raised. Huang Gai stared at everything below with a sullen face. When dozens of war horses appeared in front of him, the excitement on his face could no longer be concealed.

    The cavalrymen didn't seem to notice that there were many Jiangdong warriors hiding on both sides of the high mountain. They still galloped past without any pause. Gradually, the front team of soldiers and horses passed by. One of them was wearing a green cloak and a "green hat" on his head.  The general with a long beard also appeared under Huang Gai's eyes. This man was Guan Yu who was ordered to take Guangling and bring him back to the county to govern the people.

    "Archers, release arrows." "Rolling stones and giant trees, release." The opportunity must not be missed and never come back. The moment Guan Yu passed through Huang Gai's eyes, Jiang Dongerlang stood up at the command. Arrows, giant trees and other objects were ruthless.  It flew down and overturned countless war horses.

    "Enemy attack, enemy attack" Guan Yu, who was sitting on the horse, immediately reined in his horse and roared loudly after dodging two arrows shooting in the same direction.  However, the effect was not obvious. Except for those who were shot to the ground, the surrounding horses continued to rush forward.

    "You guys, follow me and charge down to capture Guan Yu alive." Huang Gai yelled angrily, and immediately jumped out of the bush, running down with a long stride with the long knife in his hand.  Behind him, Quan Rou, Zhu Zhi and many Jiangdong boys also rushed down with shouts of killing.

    The panicked neighing of the war horses resounded in the mountain road, which made Huang Gai feel a little proud in his heart. Ever since Zhou Yu appeared in the perspective of the lord, old guys like them have become just a piece of wood who obeys orders, completely suppressed by the younger generation.  With.  Today, as long as Guan Yu, who has fallen off his horse, is captured alive, not only can he save the young master, but he can also recover the anger he suffered from before.

    Huang Gai took very wide steps and reached the trail at the foot of the mountain in just a few breaths.  Holding a sword in his right hand, he struck down a cavalryman in front of him and then rushed to Guan Yu. Guan Yu's men did not abandon their weapons and surrender."

    "Haha, hahahaha~~" The panic Huang Gai imagined did not appear. Instead, "Guan Yu" looked up to the sky and laughed. Huang Gai, you have fallen into my general's plan. Take a look, are these my Wuji cavalry?  "While laughing, he did not forget to take two steps back and lift off the helmet of a cavalryman who had fallen to the ground and died.

    The helmet was knocked off by 'Guan Yu', and the cavalry's true identity was revealed without any evasion. However, after seeing clearly who was ambushing, Huang Gai's blood surged in his brain, and he was obviously very angry.  This is not a cavalry, it is clearly a wooden frame fixed on the mount, but it is covered with iron helmets, armor and other items. None of the Jiangdong soldiers ambushing in the mountains can do it.

    In the short period of half a stick of incense, Huang Gai's mood fluctuated greatly, from nervousness to excitement, from excitement to surprise, from surprise to fear, and from fear to fear.  What frightened Huang Gai was naturally the killing cries coming from both sides of the mountain road. Those were the real Jizhou cavalry, and the section in the middle was obviously disguised by puppets.

    When it comes to this puppet, we have to talk about Guan Yu's actions in the past few days. He led his troops into Guangling alone and was not disturbed by any soldiers for three consecutive days. This is very abnormal in his eyes. If something is abnormal, it is a monster. This is  Guan Yu was very lucky to have memorized the words that Zhen Yao always kept on his mind.

    I am afraid that the opponent he will face this time will be very difficult, so Guan Yu has the idea of ??luring the snake out of its cave.  The Wuji cavalry were the best-paid among the cavalry in the late Han Dynasty. Not only did they ride with one person and two cavalry, but they also had sufficient backup of armor, weapons and other items.  And with the support of so many external forces, Guan Yu came up with such a trick that was not a coup.

    Thousands of wooden men, put on armor and helmets, not to mention the Jiangdong disciples, even Guan Yu, who is a dummy, can't help but be in a trance.  The next step is simple. Fasten these six thousand "soldiers" to the horses. This will not only disguise more soldiers, but also serve as bait to lure out the Jiangdong soldiers who are waiting for an opportunity to attack.

    The most troublesome thing is Guan Yu's "disguise". Although he has 10,000 soldiers, it is a bit difficult to find someone with a similar body shape and appearance. Firstly, Guan Yu is burly, eight feet tall.  Yuyu (it is said that during the Three Kingdoms period, he was 24.2cm tall, but it is not clear whether it is true or not. It is really difficult to find someone to replace him for being so tall and having a rare long beard.

    But hard work paid off. Although Guan Yu didn't find anyone with such a long beard, the army camp was full of people with long hair.  Although people in the late Han Dynasty valued their body, hair, and skin, they were willing to die for a victory, let alone some hair.  Just like that, a fake 'Guan Yu' appeared in the sight of Huang Gai and the surrounding secret guards.

    "You, damn it." Listening to the whistling sound in his ears, Huang Gai's heart was full of bitterness, but when he looked at 'Guan Yu', his expression was full of ferociousness. He raised the long knife in his hand and struck at the opponent fiercely.

    "Come on," enter Wuji, generalFrom the lord Zhen Yao to the tens of thousands of soldiers, every one of them is afraid of death. When he received the task of "pretending to be General Guan", he had a death consciousness in his heart.  ¡®Death¡¯ is not a fear for the Wuji soldiers. The reason why they join the army is firstly because of food and salary, but also because of their male ambitions, and death is the best destination for soldiers.

    As for his family in the future, he is not worried in his heart. The lord's compensation system for casualties allows him to die in peace without worrying about his family having a place to live after his death. Even the two cubs will not be able to live in the future.  They will be adequately cultivated because they are the descendants of 'martyrs' and will have certain preferential treatment.

    Although he is not afraid of death, it does not mean that he will stand up and be captured. With the long knife in his hand, he can barely block Huang Gai's angry blow just by relying on his excellent arm strength. This is worthy of his ability to compete with the real Guan Yu.  body shape.

    "Jiangdong thieves, do you know a certain family?" A loud shout like thunder came from behind the mountain road. It was Guan Yu leading his cavalry. At the same time, the front team that had left in front also turned around and rushed into the mountain road.

    Although Guan Yu came, he failed to save the disguised military commander. Seeing his head fall to the ground, Guan Yu's pair of red and phoenix eyes slightly condensed, and the cold light burst out, and the cold murderous aura was heart-stopping.

    "At this time, there was no way out. Quanrou and others looked at Guan Yu who was charging towards him on horseback. They couldn't help but shouted at Guan Yu, dismounted and suffered death."

    "Crack~~Crack~~" The war horse jumped high. The Yanyue Sword in Guan Yu's hand was particularly dazzling under the sunlight. Scarlet blood dripped down the blade. When Guan Yu's mount stepped on the ground, Quan Rou's neck  Traces of red blood overflowed from her neck, and then the blood spurted out like a fountain. It wasn't until the moment of death that Quan Rou realized how small and weak she was in front of Guan Yu.

    In the blink of an eye, a general was killed, and Guan Yu's strength made Huang Gai and Huang Gai feel cold in their hearts.  It's no wonder that except for the time when Guan Yu showed his proud fighting prowess during the Yellow Turban war with the princes against Dong, at other times the princes in the south had no contact with him at all. Guan Yu's name was only known in Youzhou.  Some prestige.

    "Kill" Guan Yu rushed past Huang Gai and the two men and turned around in no hurry to deal with the two Jiangdong generals. He led the cavalry behind him through the mountain road. Jiangdong Erlang, who originally rushed down the mountain forest and wanted to show his ambition, became  A stepping stone to his fame.

    The cavalry charged back and forth in the mountain road. Guan Yu's shirt was already dyed blood red. Huang Gai led the few remaining Jiangdong elite soldiers to resist the cavalry's charge, but all they got was a slow death.  There is no way out.

    Of course, if he gave up his weapon and surrendered, Guan Yu, who valued his reputation, would never kill again. However, as a veteran of Sun Jian's side, Huang Gai's feelings for Jiang Dong could not be covered by personal life and death. Therefore, there was no hope of victory at the moment.  Grit your teeth and fight to the end.

    "Duke Sui, retreat." Zhu Zhi saw the soldiers around him fall down one by one, gritted his teeth and said, I will cut off the rear for you, and you can retreat to the mountains with the remaining soldiers.  Guan Yu's men are all cavalry, and they will definitely not be able to catch up with you in the mountains and forests.  Leave quickly, if you don¡¯t retreat, you won¡¯t have a chance.¡±

    Huang Gai cut off the leg of a cavalryman with his sword, but was chopped down by the cavalry before he died. With his left shoulder injured, he blushed and said, "I will cut it off. You lead the troops to find the lord, and say that I, Huang Gai, have no face."  "After finishing speaking, he pushed Zhu Zhi behind him with a heavy push, and his eyes signaled his soldiers to escort him away.

    "General." The surrounding soldiers were all soldiers who followed Huang Gai into death. Jiang Dongerlang was also not a greedy person, but now was not the time for them to die. He whispered, and hundreds of soldiers immediately separated to protect him.  After catching Zhu Zhi, he fled to the mountains and forests behind.

    Zhu Zhi's hundreds of men rushing into the forest were naturally clearly seen by Guan Yu, but he was unable to pursue them immediately. Huang Gai's steady body seemed to be nailed to the foot of the mountain, and the surrounding Jiangdong soldiers were also worried about life and death.  Ambition, never give in even half a step.

    Although we are the enemy and we, Huang Gai's behavior can affect Guan Yu. I think back then, Guan Yu also risked his life and dared to kidnap Zhen Yao in front of many Wuji soldiers in order to give Liu Bei a chance to escape. Looking at Huang Gai now, he can't help but feel sad.  Sheng laments that you are such a loyal and loyal person, and Guan Mou will spare your life because of this in you."

    Jiangdong was once again defeated at the hands of Zhen Yao's generals. The defeat was also so complete. Of the more than 15,000 soldiers, only less than a thousand escaped into the mountains and forests and captured more than 200 people. The rest died in the battle.  In the mountain road.

    "Clean the battlefield and tie up all the soldiers." After the battle, Guan Yu dismounted and stood with a sword in his hand. Lying in front of him was Huang Gai, who was seriously injured and unconscious, and the military doctor carried him for treatment.  "

    After giving simple instructions, Guan Yu led the war horse and walked out of the mountain road. As for Zhu Zhi who had escaped into the forest, he was no longer interested in pursuing him.  Tens of thousands of enemies were killed in this battle, and not only his soldiers and horses were exhausted, but he was also a little tired.

    When Zhu Zhi brought the remaining seven or eight hundred people back to see Sun Jian??, it has been two days since the Battle of Guangling.  Hearing the news of defeat again, Sun Jian only said two words to withdraw his troops.  " Then he stopped talking. Although his words were soft, all the generals in the tent could hear them clearly, and their faces changed accordingly. This time Jiangdong was completely defeated.

    On the other hand, Guan Yu ignored Huang Gai's troops after defeating them, and once again divided his troops to attack the counties in Guangling. On the one hand, they wanted to declare their ownership to Guangling, and on the other hand, they wanted to recover the troops who had not yet arrived.  People who left.  It was not until five days later that he handed over these trivial matters and returned to Tancheng with his troops.

    Before Zhen Yao came to Xuzhou, the war in Xuzhou was complicated, and almost any change would lead to major changes. However, not long after Zhen Yao arrived, he defeated Cao Cao and Sun Jian with devastating methods.  Although Zhen Yao knew that the credit for this was not much, he had to accept such military exploits. This was an indispensable part of his first step in ruling Xuzhou.

    On the fifth day, when Cao Cao and Sun Jian led the remaining soldiers and horses under their command to return to their respective bases, Zhen Yao finally led the soldiers outside the city into Tancheng.  As soon as he entered Tancheng, Zhen Yao heard the roaring cheers and saw the people of Xuzhou worshiping him as his savior. He couldn't help but secretly thought: Xu You has the ability to win people's hearts so quickly.

    Led by Xu You and Xu Huang, a group of civil and military personnel stood at the front of the welcoming team and bowed to see their lord.  "Even Mi Zhuliang is no exception. At this moment, he seems to regard himself as Zhen Yao's counselor and general.

    After greeting the civil and military officials with a smile, Zhen Yao came to the Prefectural Mufu Mansion under the guidance of Xu You and others.  When he stepped into the Prefecture Mufu, the first thing Zhen Yao did was not to reward him for his merits in the battle, nor to meet with Xuzhou's original subordinates. Instead, he came to Tao Qian's memorial tablet and respectfully went to it.  Three sticks of incense.  This is not a pretentious performance, but a sign of respect for the late man.

    Mrs. Gan, who was originally worried that Zhen Yao's entry into the city would cause trouble to their orphans and widowed mothers, felt relieved when she saw this situation. After bowing and saluting, she asked Tao Ying to greet Zhen Yao.  Seeing Tao Qian's child, Zhen Yao remembered the changes in the city that Zhang Fei had told him before, and immediately asked him to please come out. After all, he was Gongzu's eldest son.  "

    Zhang Fei naturally did not dare to object to Zhen Yao's order, and immediately waved his hand to the soldiers to bring out the pottery merchant who was imprisoned in the inner room. However, the pottery merchant who was brought into the hall by the soldiers was uneasy. Since that day, he wanted to cover up the news of his father's death.  After being imprisoned, he would not have a good life. Although Zhang Fei and others did not torture him in the past few days, Tao Shang had lost a lot of weight.

    Thinking about whether he was going to be executed today, the pottery merchant cried bitterly after walking into the hall and seeing his mother, as if this would avoid the disaster.  Although Mrs. Gan was angry at Da's behavior, her anger had faded over the past few days. When she saw the embarrassment of crying and crying, she couldn't help but look at Zhen Yao with a soft heart, her eyes full of pleading.

    Zhen Yao frowned and said in a deep voice: You are the son of Gongzu, and you have not been cast into a big body. I will not investigate your past today.  Lao, I will return this son to you. I hope that I can spend some time teaching you and not let him cause trouble again.  "

    "Old man, thank you Zhou Mu." Gan bowed and agreed, but turned around and scolded you, "You are a traitor, why don't you get up."

    "Yes, yes." The pottery merchant also found out who the person was and let go at this moment. With his heart moved, he quickly bent down to Zhen Yao and said thank you to the state pastor, thank you to the state pastor for his grace.  "

    "You traitor, follow me," Mrs. Gan scolded Zhen Yao, and then said to Zhen Yao that Zhou Mu was entering the city. He must be busy with many things, so I should retire first.  "With that said, he took the two of them and left, which was very neat and tidy.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? After Zhen Yao, the civil and military men under his command, all the civil and military men, gathered all the civil and military men in the front hall of the house, and took the first seat before speaking. Xuzhou was preserved, Yao, thanks to your help.  Now that Sun Cao has retreated, it is time to reward him based on his merits.  "

    Hearing this, Xu Huang went out and held his fists, saying, "We are under the lord's tent. It is our duty to share the lord's worries, but we don't ask for any reward."  "As soon as he finished speaking, other civil and military officers also expressed their opinions one after another that it was necessary to do so much, and they did not ask for rewards from Zhen Yao.

    Hearing this, Zhen Yao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looked at Xu You and asked quite playfully: "Since Ziyuan said this, he will not reward him."  "

    Xu You's face collapsed when he heard this, and he hesitated for a long time before speaking. "Master, rewards and punishments are clearly defined. All the soldiers under his command are fighting to the death, how can there be no reward at all, right?"  "After saying this, he smiled awkwardly, but did not hide the fact that he was asking for a reward.

    "Haha, you" pointed at Xu You, shook his head and chuckled for a moment, and then Zhen Yao continued. "What Ziyuan said is true, rewards and punishments must be clear, otherwise how will the soldiers use their lives in the future?"  How can a scribe be dedicated?  But now is not the time to divide the rewards. Xuzhou seems to be settled, but there are still some things that have not been resolved.  Zizhong, tomorrow you will summon all the officials from Xuzhou. I want to see them.  "

    "No." Mi Zhu's heart trembled, and she bowed and nodded in agreement.  I also know deep down in my heart that the final showdown is about to begin, and all the forces in Xuzhou will be re-aligned soon.

    Said againAfter sorting out the next tasks and assigning them to the various civil and military personnel under his command, Zhen Yao began to enjoy his first lunch in Tan City.  After having a casual meal with the generals, Zhen Yao had the idea of ??going out for a walk. He immediately took Xu You out of the Zhou Mu Mansion and wandered around the streets of Xuzhou.

    Seeing Zhen Yao wandering absentmindedly, Xu You immediately asked the lord, has he thought of where to go?  "

    With a slight nod, Zhen Yao asked, "You have been in this city for a long time, do you know where the Chen Mansion is?"  "

    "My lord, are you talking about Chen Gui and Chen Hanyu's mansion?" Xu You's mind was racing with thoughts, and he immediately wanted to ask. When Zhen Yao nodded, he continued, saying that the Chen family is just on the right turn of this street, not far away.  It's just that the Chen Mansion has never opened its main door since Tao Qian's death, and you were not allowed in even after you visited the main door twice.  "

    Zhen Yao smiled nonchalantly, and then said that it was him, old man Chen Jingming. Now that the situation in Xuzhou is clear, it is time for the Chen family to open up." After that, he walked towards the Chen Mansion under the guidance of Xu You.

    When the two came to the outside of Chen's Mansion, the open door made Zhen Yao's previous words come true. Xu You secretly praised in his heart, and took the lead to step forward and say to the child guarding the door, "Xu You,  Come with my lord to see the head of your family, and report back quickly.  "The words were a bit harsh, obviously because he was resentful of being shut down twice by the Chen family.

    "The boy seemed to have received the order a long time ago. He did not go to the house. Instead, he turned sideways and whispered softly: My master has something to say. A distinguished person will be visiting today. Please come in."

    Xu You couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words, and then turned back to look at Zhen Yao. Zhen Yao naturally listened to the child's words, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. It seemed that the Chen family father and son still had two brushes. He immediately stepped up the stone steps so loudly.  good"
