The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

In order to prevent the instability of the army, and if Wu Zi, the prefect of Jiyin, knew that he was going to withdraw to Dongjun too early, Wu Zi might abandon Dingtao and flee first, causing Xunzhen's vigilance, so he did not wait until he retreated to the west. Send someone a letter to inform Wu Zi.

The person who was appointed to deliver the letter to Wu Zi was Zhu Tai, an official under Cao Cao's account.

The last time I sent a letter to Bao Xin was also from Zhutai. After the letter was delivered, Zhutai rested and returned to the Cheng clan to return to Cao Cao on the same day. He did not participate in the battle of Shouzhang to defend the city. Therefore, although Bao Xin was killed and Wan Qian surrendered, he was safe and sound.

It was night, the clouds covered the stars and the moon, the road was not easy to walk, Zhutai left Caoying, and after walking a short distance, he accidentally stumbled and fell, making him dizzy and dizzy. Almost broke. So Zhu Tai simply found a leeward mound, dug a hole, and slept in the hole all night. After the next day, I went to Dingtao again. When we arrived at Dingtao, it was already two days later.

Will believe in Wu Zi.

When Wu Zi opened it, he was horrified and hurriedly asked Zhu Tai, "When did Duke Cao withdraw his troops?"

"Two days ago."

"Why did the letter arrive now?"

Zhu Tai said in his heart, "I have worked so hard, and I have worked **** the road, and I have worked so hard to send the letter to you. Instead of giving some money, you slumped down and spoke evil words. What are you doing? Are you reprimanding me?" He replied, " The villain walks day and night, and he has done his best." Chong Wu Zi gave a salute to the army, and said, "The letter has been delivered to the mansion, and the villain bids farewell." He turned around and went out, chasing after Cao Jun.

Wu Zi sat in the hall for a while, then stood up suddenly, and repeatedly called the government officials outside the hall, ordering the chief clerk, Gong Cao and other officials to come.

The master bookkeeper and Gong Cao came soon.

Wu Zi showed them Cao Cao's letter and said, "Cao Mengde kept silent, but he fled like this! Leave us here. Dingtao City can't be defended anymore. You immediately take my military orders, Go to the camp outside the city, gather soldiers, let's go too!"

The master bookkeeper and Gong Cao looked at each other in dismay.

Gong Cao asked, "Where are you going?"

Wu Zi had already made up his mind and said, "Go west to Dongjun and join Cao Mengde."

He had just blamed Cao Cao for being inauthentic and abandoned them, but he said he would join Cao Cao right after. The words before and after are contradictory, and the master book and Gong Cao do not understand their meaning. The master clerk asked, "Since Duke Cao has abandoned Duke Ming and fled, why did he still vote for him? Why not go to Chenliu in the south?"

Wu Zi said: "Zhang Mengzhuo is an old man, and when he treats his friends, he is really good in life, and there is nothing to say! But he does not understand military affairs, and Chen Liu, like our Jiyin, has no mountains and rivers. Sun Wentai, there is Xun Zhenzhi in the east, I think Zhang Mengzhuo will not be able to hold Chenliu. Dongjun is not the case, relying on the river to hinder, relying on Yuan Benchu ​​to help; although Meng De fled, with tens of thousands of troops, he will definitely be able to The one who defends Dongjun! He abandoned us and fled, although it is unrighteous, but from the perspective of the future, Dongjun is far better than Chenliu."

The master and Gong Cao were both convinced after listening to his analysis.

The master book said: "Ming Gong has great foresight, I can't wait."

The Gong Cao and the Master Chief then left the house and went to the camp outside the city to convey Wu Zi's order, assemble the soldiers, pack the baggage, and prepare to retreat. Wu Zi's subordinates are now mostly new soldiers, and half of Tai are villagers from nearby townships. When they heard that Wu Zi was going to Dongjun, they did not want to leave their hometowns. The officials had the opportunity to pack grain and other military supplies, at first in twos and threes, but later in groups, they fled the camp and went home. By the time the master bookkeeper and Gong Cao heard the news, 30% of the soldiers in the camp had fled.

It's not too late to make amends.

The chief clerk and Gong Cao quickly ordered the military officials to strictly guard the gates of the camp, and if anyone dared to escape, they would be killed by marching methods.

There were still soldiers who wanted to leave, and they killed more than a dozen in a row, hanging their **** heads on the Yuanmen, which stopped the wind of escape.

It took more than half a day to finally load all the luggage and other items into the car, and even took Wu Zi's savings in Jiyin County over the past few years for more than ten cars, a total of more than 300 cars.

Gong Cao and the chief bookkeeper were both natives of Dingtao. They first took their own wives, young and old, and then invited Wu Zi's family out of the city.

With an order, more than 2,000 county soldiers left the camp and lined up and set off westward.

When the people in Dingtao County heard about it, rumors spread all of a sudden.

Some said that Xuzhou soldiers had already been killed outside Dingtao County. Some people said that it was not the Xuzhou soldiers who had come, but the Yellow Turbans who had come again.

Others say that the Yellow Turbans who came back this time are very cruel. Their commander Qu is the apprentice of the great teacher Zhang Jiao. It is the blood of the heart of a child who is less than one month old.

Others say that the Yellow Turbans have already been defeated by the Xuzhou soldiers, so how could the Yellow Turbans still come? Only the soldiers from Xuzhou came. However, why were Xuzhou soldiers able to defeat the Yellow Turbans with the help of Taoism? It is because their leaders, Xun Zhenzhi, Xu Junqing, Le Wenqian, and others, also know the Dharma. Their Taoism is similar to that of the Yellow Turbans, and they also require certain things as materials for spellcasting. This material is not the heart and soul of a pre-month-old child, but a man's crotch.

The more the rumors spread, the more mysterious they became.

There was chaos in the city, and the people in every li hurriedly took the valuables from their homes and bundled them into parcels. Every family, husband and wife and brothers moved together, or carried young children with burdens, or pushed old people with carts. His parents, some from the clan with a large number of people, gathered into a group, and some from the small group of people, forming a gang, almost all of them followed the footsteps of Wu Zi's troops and swarmed out of Dingtao County.

Wu Zi heard the noise behind him from a distance, looked back and saw this scene.

He was considered a conscientious person, felt a little guilty, and said, "I am incompetent, unable to protect the land and the people, causing the strong enemy to come to the scene and the people to flee."

The chief clerk, Gong Cao and other officials comforted him a few words, that's all.

Some of the people fled to Chenliu, some fled to their relatives and friends in other villages in this county, and many men, women and children followed the soldiers of Jiyin County from a distance.

The clerk said to Wu Zi: "Ming Gong, so many people are behind our army, if it is discovered by Xuzhou soldiers and horses, it will be bad!"

"Then what do you say?"

"Drive them away!"

Wu Zi thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead and do it."

The master complied with his promise, and brought three or two hundred soldiers to face the people, and when they got close, he ordered to disperse them.

Several soldiers suddenly screamed in panic.

The bookkeeper said angrily, "What is it called?"

The soldiers pointed to the northeast.

The master looked over there and saw a group of soldiers and horses, about four or five hundred cavalry, galloping towards this side. The soldiers of Jiyin County are all here. Cao Cao's troops and horses have withdrawn to Dong County. Don't think too much, this cavalry must be Xuzhou soldiers! Not bothering to disperse the people, the master made a decisive decision, and immediately led the soldiers back to Wu Zi's central army.

Wu Zi also discovered the cavalry of the Xuzhou Army under the reminder of his subordinates.

Wu Zi's chubby face was bloodless and pale as paper, and said, "What can I do? How did the Xuzhou soldiers come so quickly?"

The master book suggested: "The soldiers of Xuzhou are all cavalry, and our soldiers are not opponents. Duke Ming, don't ride in a car, run away on horseback!"

Wu Zi looked at his wife, concubine and young son in the car in embarrassment, and said, "My wife and my son can't ride a horse."

The master was in a hurry and said, "Ming Gong! You can remarry your wife and have another son. If you die in battle, you can't even save your life!"

Wu Zi's wife was furious, her eyes bursting with fire, but she didn't dare to speak.

In the space of these few conversations, the cavalry of the Xuzhou soldiers was close at hand.

Wu Zi also made a decision. Knowing that he could not drag it any longer, he made a decisive decision. He got out of the car and got on a horse brought by the master. Seeing that the master was not on the horse, he asked him, "Where's your horse? "

The chief clerk was impassioned and said, "The cavalry of Xuzhou is fast, and even if Duke Ming goes ahead, it is estimated that they will be able to catch up. The subordinate is willing to lead the county soldiers to fight the cavalry of Xuzhou to the death to cover Duke Ming!"

Wu Zi was moved and said: "Qing is a loyal person! I will not forget Qing!"

He beat his horse with a whip, left his wives, concubines and young sons, and fled for his life under the protection of Gong Cao and two or three trusted military officials.

What the clerk told Wu Zi was a lie.

Watching Wu Zi escape, he thought to himself, "I am such a good man, how can I give up my life in vain? When Cao Mengde and Wu Taishou escaped, Jiyin obviously couldn't keep it. Xun Zhendong got Jiyin, first of all, It must be to win the hearts of Jiyin's soldiers to gain popularity and consolidate their rule. My family is Dingtaoguan clan, and as the head of the county government, General Zhendong will definitely use it heavily for me! A game of wealth! ... As for whether Duke Cao and Prefect Wu will fight back? Even if they fight back, if they want to settle Tao, they can't do without my family! It's still my wealth."

At the moment, the master called the drummer to beat the drum, which beat the rhythm of the drum that ordered the troops to rest.

He originally wanted to order the soldiers of Jiyin County to sit down on the spot, so that after the cavalry of the Xuzhou Army arrived, he stepped forward to negotiate and surrendered.

Unexpectedly, there are too many new soldiers in Jiyin County, and many soldiers have not learned how to identify golden drums. If there are some, they regard the drum sound of rest as the drum sound of attack. Among them, there are those who are stunned, without saying a word, holding rakes, and shouting to meet the rushing Xuzhou cavalry. These few led the way, and the rest of the county soldiers were overwhelmed and rushed forward.

The master was shocked when he saw it.

Wu Zi, who had already traveled four or five miles away, heard the screams of the soldiers of Jiyin County, and turned around to look, and saw from a distance that the master was mixed with the charge of the soldiers of Jiyin County. In the red military uniform, it is very eye-catching.

Wu Zi's eyes reddened, a few tears fell, and he sighed: "In the past, the magistrate of Injustice took the lead in repelling Sun Bofu's siege; now my chief clerk leads the charge, and he has no hesitation, and the attack is coming. Xuzhou cavalry. These are all loyal and strong men!" Wiping away tears, he whipped the horses and hurried to the west.

Naturally, the master did not take the initiative to lead the troops to charge. He was surrounded by the Jiyin County soldiers nearby, and was forced to run forward helplessly.

The Xuzhou cavalry that came was Zhang Fei and his troops.

Seeing the two thousand infantry rushing towards the opposite side, Zhang Fei was very surprised, and said to the officers around him, "Oh, I didn't expect that among the soldiers of Jiyin County in Dingtao, there were also brave soldiers who dared to use two Thousands of disorganized infantrymen charged our cavalry." Chuan ordered, "Catch the chief of Jiyin County soldiers and bring them to meet me."

Zhang Fei ordered the officers to lead the cavalry of their own team, divide them into three groups, and attack them.

Thinking that most of the Jiyin soldiers were out of a herd mentality, they inexplicably followed others to charge towards Zhang Fei's troops. They had no intention of fighting to the death. When the two sides approached, the momentum of hundreds of war horses galloping was really scary, I don't know who it was. The first to drop the weapons, turn around and run, the rest of them, when they came to their senses, threw their weapons away and fled, but they fled and fell apart before they could engage in the battle.

Just staring at Zhang Fei for a moment, Zhangba King Kong couldn't make up his mind.

The officers who led the cavalry to attack the enemy chased after them and turned around with a few prisoners.

Zhang Fei asked, "Who is your general?"

The prisoners said, "It's the prefect of my county, Lord Wu Fu."

"Where is Prefect Wu?"

Several captives, you look at me, I look at you.

One said: "Before fighting the general, he seemed to have fled."

"Escaped? Where did you escape?"

"Go west."

When Wu Zi escaped, there were not many people with him, including himself, only four or five. With few people, it was not easy to attract people's attention, and at that time, it was more than 2,000 Jiyin County soldiers who rushed over. At the time, therefore, Zhang Fei failed to discover Wu Zi early.

Hearing the prisoner's words, Zhang Fei was slightly annoyed, and said in his heart, "A great achievement has been taken away from the hand! Forget it, let him escape! An incompetent person, even if he escapes into Dongjun, is useless. Now that Wu Zi has left, Taoxian is definitely an empty city, but this credit is a steady one, and his surname is Zhang." He was the vanguard of the Xuzhou army, and the other troops were lagging behind, so he was not in a hurry to go. After fixing Tao, he asked the captive, and said, "After Wu Taishou escaped, who is your commander?"

One of the captives replied: "It is the registrar of my county."

"Where is he now?"

The prisoner pointed to the battlefield not far behind him, and said, "That's the one in white."

Zhang Fei looked up and saw that among the hundreds of corpses of Jiyin County soldiers scattered across the field, one of them was dressed in white, and he signaled the military officials to go and inspect it. After a short while, the officer came back and reported, "He's dead. His face was stomped on, as if he was trampled to death."

Zhang Fei said: "What a pity! This is a strong man, bury him."

The soldiers complied.

Zhang Fei looked at the wave of people in the east, and said: "Those people who should have escaped from Dingtao, keep some of the baggage you have captured, and share with them if you can't take it with you! Tell them, Xun Gong, the general of Zhendong, loves the people like children~www.wuxiaspot.com~ so that they don't have to run away, just return to the city with peace of mind."

The officers replied, "Yes."

An officer said: "There are two women and a child in the captivity. The woman claimed to be Wu Zi's wife, the young woman was Wu Zi's concubine, and the child was Wu Zi's son. How to deal with a few?"

"Bring me to see."

Wu Zi's wife, concubine, and youngest son were brought before Zhang Feima.

Wu Zi's wife, looks ordinary, and his youngest son has nothing to say, only his concubine, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, Qiong nose and cherry lips, with a charming appearance, walking with lotus steps. , swaying and colorful, really beautiful.

Zhang Fei couldn't help but look at her a few more times, his heart moved, and he thought: "After Shiren's death, my brother has been depressed and unhappy, this woman is very beautiful, I might as well give it to my brother, maybe I can comfort him a little. "

"My brother" is Liu Bei.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fei ordered: "Be kind to them, and don't make fun of them."

The officers obeyed.

Zhang Fei left behind more than a hundred cavalry to be in charge of these matters, and with the remaining hundreds of cavalry, galloped towards Dingtao.

When they arrived outside Dingtao City, they saw that the city gate was open, and there were no guards in the city.

Zhang Fei, however, took the Dingtao gently and skillfully.
