The frightened and angry Zhang Xiu rushed towards the soldier, grabbed him and roared to question.
The soldier was so frightened that he said in a trembling voice: "Miss she was captured alive by Yuan Fang.
The cruel and shocking fact is right in front of you. No matter how frightened and angry Zhang Xiu is, it cannot be changed.
Zhang Xiu was so angry that he threw his soldiers out, turned towards Ma Teng, and shouted angrily: "Father-in-law, please allow me to lead my army to help Hanoi immediately. I want to kill that boy Yuan Fang with my own hands and kill Yunlu." Delivered from his clutches!"
The fianc¨¦e of the third largest prince in Xiliang was captured alive by Yuan Fang. How could Zhang Xiu endure such a huge humiliation? Of course, he couldn't wait to fight Yuan Fang to the death.
Ma Teng also had a gloomy face, with a faint look of shame and annoyance on his wrinkled face.
The dignified leader of the Xiliang Alliance, his proud son was defeated by Yuan Fang, but his daughter was actually captured alive by Yuan Fang. Such a tragic defeat really caused his prestige as the leader of the alliance to plummet and his face was greatly damaged.
Ma Teng clenched his fists tightly and his joints creaked. He really wished he had agreed to Zhang Xiu's request on the spot and sent troops to fight Hanoi again.
But Ma Teng was obviously more sophisticated than Zhang Xiu. He did not make a decision out of anger. Instead, he suppressed his anger and looked at Chen Gong, seeking Chen Gong's opinion.
"Gongtai, I didn't expect Chao'er to be defeated so miserably. How should we deal with it now?" Ma Teng asked in a deep voice.
Chen Gong let out a breath, smoothed his beard and sighed: "I have said before that although Xiaozhi has a good plan, it is a pity that he is too young. He lacks actual combat experience and is now unable to see through Yuan Fang's trick for the Major General, which led to the defeat of our army. It¡¯s inevitable.¡±
Ma Teng frowned and couldn't help but sigh: "Gongtai's words are reasonable. Xiaozhi is indeed too young. If I had known now, I should have sent you Gongtai to assist Chao'er. But the matter has come to this, and there is no use regretting it. Think about how to deal with the situation at hand."
Chen Gong stared at the map. Silently. Analyzing the situation.
After a while, Chen Gong took his time and decided on two strategies for Ma Teng.
First, Ma Dai was left to lead his army to defend Jiguan. Guard Hedong County.
Second. Ma Chao led the rest of the troops. All of them came to Hangu Pass to meet up, no longer divided their forces, and concentrated all their efforts to attack Hangu Pass.
"Then we won't rescue Yunlu? Yunlu is still in the hands of that boy Yuan Fang!" Zhang Xiu immediately shouted excitedly.
Chen Gong sighed helplessly: "General Zhang, please calm down. It is a fact that Miss Yunlu fell into the hands of Yuan Fang. Even if you lead the army to Hanoi, can you save her?"
Zhang Xiu suppressed his anger, but when asked by Chen Gong, he was speechless.
Seeing the situation, Ma Teng also waved his hand to calm down Zhang Xiu and advised: "Yunlu is my daughter. I am more worried than anyone else about him falling into the hands of the enemy. It is just for the present. There is no use in hurrying. We can only attack Hangu." Pass, defeat Yuan Fang, and force him to sue for peace, and then we have a chance to get Yunlu back. "
Even the "father-in-law" said so, what else could Zhang Xiu do, he could only swallow back the anger in his stomach.
After the military meeting was over, Zhang Xiu returned to his tent with a lot of anger.
Account number, an old man with half-white beard and hair, but full of energy, has been waiting for him for a long time.
"The general is so angry. Could it be that something happened?" the old man asked.
"You don't know, that boy Yuan Fang really bullies people too much"
Zhang Xiuyu was still angry and angrily defeated Ma Chao. He complained to the old man about Ma Yunlu being captured by Yuan Fang.
The old man was as calm as water, as if he had expected it. He could only bear his temper and listened to Zhang Xiu's complaints.
Then, he slowly said: "This Yuan Fang is indeed a hero of the world. Now that he has defeated Cao Cao and defeated our army in Hanoi, the victory of this war is already in his hands. In my opinion, Although the leader of the Ma family is powerful, he is no match for Yuan Fang. The old man thinks that at this time, the general should reconsider whether he should follow the Ma family and go all the way against Yuan Fang. "
There is obviously some hint hidden in the old man's words.
Zhang Xiu suddenly raised his head and stared at the old man with a surprised look, with a hint of reproach in his eyes.
"General, he who knows the current affairs will be a hero, and he will be in good shape"
"impossible!"
Zhang Xiu shouted and said solemnly: "I can obey your advice on everything in the past, but I will never listen to you in this matter. That boy Yuan Fang captured my fianc¨¦e and humiliated me like this. I, Zhang Xiujue, I won¡¯t let it go with him.¡±
Seeing Zhang Xiu¡¯s unprecedented determination, the old man no longerHe just shook his head secretly and sighed.
"Yuan Fang, if you dare to lay even a finger on Yunlu or have any wrongdoing towards her, I, Zhang Xiu, will never let you go. I will never"
Zhang Xiu clenched his fists and swore secretly.
¡¡
Thirty miles west of Wen County.
Yuan Fang led the victorious army and was already on the way back to Wen County. He planned to visit Zhu Ling, who had done a great job in defending the city, and Zhang Wang, the prefect of Hanoi. Then the army would return to Luoyang and go to Hanguguan to fight with the Xiliang army. The main force fights to the death.
It was getting late, and the army set up camp on the spot.
At this time, Gan Mei and dozens of medical officers from the medical camp had arrived to join them and treat the injured soldiers on the spot.
Yuan Fang met Gan Mei and exchanged a few intimate words. Suddenly he remembered something and took her to a camp.
As soon as Fang entered the account, Ma Yunlu inside jumped up and stared at Yuan Fang uneasily with a very hostile look.
"Amei, this woman is Ma Teng's daughter. She was injured by me last time. Please treat her injury." Yuan Fang ordered Ganmei.
A trace of surprise flashed in Ma Yunlu's eyes, as if she couldn't believe that Yuan Fang not only did not molest her, but also wanted to treat her injuries.
"You can kill him if you want. I, Ma Yunlu, will never frown. Don't you pretend to treat me for any injuries." Ma Yunlu shouted at Yuan Fang.
Yuan Fang only sneered, not bothering to respond to her roar.
Gan Mei couldn't help but explain: "Miss Ma, you don't have to treat a gentleman with a brat's heart. Qi Gong never kills prisoners except for those enemies with whom he has a hatred. Qi Gong never kills prisoners. Not only will the Duke not kill the prisoners, but he will also treat them kindly. Otherwise, how could there be so many prisoners who would eventually be convinced by Qi Gong and willing to serve Qi Gong. "
Ganmei's words left Ma Yunlu speechless, full of hostility, and he didn't know how to express it for a moment.
"Then what are you going to do to me?" Ma Yunlu asked again.
Yuan Fang glanced at her and said coldly: "Where you go depends on the outcome of this war. Only if you surrender and surrender, can you have hope of regaining your freedom."
Ma Yunlu was shocked, his beautiful eyebrows were slightly condensed, and he snorted: "My father has a hundred thousand cavalry. My eldest brother Ma Mengqi is unparalleled in bravery. You want my father to bow down and become a minister. Isn't it a joke."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ganmei couldn't help but laugh. It's obviously somewhat ironic.
"What I said are all facts, why are you laughing!" Ma Yunlu shouted with a glare.
Ganmei put away her smile and said calmly: "Miss Ma is really confident. It's a pity that your proud brother Ma Chao was just defeated by Qi Gong. He lost more than 10,000 people and fled back to Jiguan in embarrassment."
Ma Chao, defeated?
Ma Yunlu was taken aback. His pretty face changed. He was stunned for a moment, but said sternly: "It's impossible. My eldest brother has tens of thousands of cavalry. It's impossible to lose. You're lying."
Seeing her reaction so fiercely, Gan Mei glanced at Yuan Fang and smiled helplessly.
Yuan Fang waved his hand and said: "That's all. She believes it or not. Don't talk nonsense to her. Just treat her injuries. This female martial arts is not weak. Don't untie the chains on her body. I will also order you to kiss her." The army is watching, and if she dares to make any move, she will be killed immediately."
After a brief explanation, Yuan Fang said nothing more, turned around and walked away.
Then several soldiers came in, holding swords in hand, and watched her eagerly.
"Brother actually lost? How can this be? Brother will never lose, he must be lying"
Shocked, Ma Yunlu looked confused, half-believing, and kept mumbling to himself.
"There is no need to make unnecessary questions. Qi Gong will return to Luoyang soon. This war will also be concluded soon. You should rest in peace and recover and take care of yourself first."
Ganmei comforted her, put down the medicine box in her hand, and sat next to her.
¡¡
Outside the camp, as they were heading towards the main tent, a scout on horseback came galloping towards him.
"My lord, there is an urgent report from General Zhu of Wen County. Zhang Wang, the governor of Hanoi, died of serious injuries a few days ago and has passed away."
Zhang Wang, was seriously injured and died?
Yuan Fang was surprised, but he did not expect that such bad news would come at this time of victory.
"Prepare your horses, I have to rush to Wen County overnight." Yuan Fang shouted sternly without thinking.
That night, Yuan Fang led five hundred white horses to go ahead and rushed to Wenxian County at starry night. However, he ordered Zhao Yun and Wen Chou, two generals, to command the rest of the army and then leave.
Zhang Wang¡¯s meritorious service in holding on to Wen County was an example for officials. Now that Zhang Wang died of illness, Yuan Fang felt that he had lost a good official with meritorious service.We must rush to Wen County.
When the sky was bright, Yuan Fang had rushed to Wen County. After hearing the news, Zhu Ling hurried to greet him and met Yuan Fang halfway.
"What's going on with Zhang Wang? How could a good person be seriously injured and die?" Yuan Fang frowned.
"When the Xiliang army besieged the city, Prefect Zhang often visited the city in person to encourage the soldiers in order to boost morale. Unexpectedly, he was injured by cold arrows and was seriously injured. Prefect Zhang was afraid of affecting morale, so he kept concealing his injuries and insisted on enduring it. Injuries go to the city to boost morale, but who would have thought that the injuries are getting worse and worse. Unfortunately, it has only been in the past few days"
Zhu Ling sighed softly and couldn't bear to say any more.
After hearing these words, Yuan Fang was filled with emotion and deeply admired Zhang Wang for his dedication to his duties.
"Zhang Wang is a good official who is loyal to his duties. He is actually a role model for all officials. We should posthumously make him a county marquis and hold his funeral with splendor. We should make officials all over the world follow Zhang Wang as an example." Yuan Fang ordered.
"I will remember it in the end."
When he was feeling emotional, Yuan Fang had arrived at Zhang's Mansion. At this moment, everything inside and outside Zhang's Mansion was completely bare.
Yuan Fang dismounted, took off his helmet, and went straight into the main hall, only to see Zhang Wang's coffin and the spiritual plaque had been placed in the lobby.
Under the dim candlelight, Zhang Chunhua, who looked haggard, was kneeling beside the coffin, guarding it silently.
"Miss Zhang." Yuan Fang slowly came forward and said softly.
Zhang Chunhua raised his head and saw Yuan Fang, tears welling up in his tired eyes.
When Yuan Fangzheng was thinking about comforting her, Zhang Chunhua stood up and suddenly threw herself into his arms. His sadness could no longer be suppressed and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Yuan Fang sighed softly, hesitated for a moment, then put down his hands and gently stroked her weak back. (To be continued)
