The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

He volunteered himself and asked to lead troops to fight against Xun Zhen's man. He was more than twenty years old, burly and vigorous. This man was Zhang Ji's son Zhang Xiu.

Yang Ding sat on the seat with a golden knife, with one hand on his knee, and the other hand touching the thick braid behind his head, and said with a smile, "Xuanwei is brave and has a general style."

Also known as "Xuanwei", Zhang Xiu followed Zhang Ji, and in the fierce battle that followed Li Jue and Guo Si to attack Chang'an, he was successful in several battles, because he was worshipped as the Marquis of Xuanwei and the general of feudal loyalty.

Zhang Ji is Zhang Xiu's father, the third uncle. Zhang Ji has no children. Now, among his nephews and nephews of the Zhang family in his army, Zhang Xiu is the most outstanding in both military strategy and bravery. Zhang Ji also loves his son-in-law very much. Seeing him standing majestically in the hall, even though he knew that the enemy was the powerful general of Zhendong, Xun Zhen was not afraid at all, on the contrary, he was eager to try. Under the heavy pressure of attacking Hongnong County, Zhang Jiyu couldn't help but feel happy at this time.

It's just that Zhang Xiu couldn't agree to this request.

Zhang Ji said: "Zhendong is good at fighting, and now he has just joined forces with Sun Bofu, and his soldiers are stronger, and he cannot be attacked. Let me defend him with a strong city, sharpen his sharpness, and wait for his morale to decline a little. , I'll give you a fine ride again and defeat it for me."

Zhang Xiu had to obey orders.

Early the next morning, Duan Xun and Yang Ding led their troops to Xin'an and Yiyang respectively to defend their troops.

As Duan Xun went to Xin'an, in addition to Duan Xun's headquarters soldiers, there were also thousands of Qiang soldiers allocated to Duan Xun by Yang Ding, and two thousand troops given to him by Zhang Ji. Duan Xun brought the headquarters soldiers of Hongnong County. The original three or four thousand people, together, about seven thousand cavalry on and off, with this seven thousand soldiers guarding the city of Xin'an, think it should be enough.

Xin'an was about 200 miles away from Hongnong County. Three days later, Duan Xun's troops entered Xin'an.

At this time, Xun Zhen's department had already left Henan Yin and entered the territory of Hongnong County.

Duan Xun found it clear that Xun Zhen's troops were divided into two groups. One was led by him and Sun Ce himself, which was the main force, and went straight to Xin'an. Duan Xun quickly sent people to Hongnong County to inform Zhang Ji about the military situation he inquired about, and at the end of the military report, he asked Zhang Ji for reinforcements.

In the military newspaper, Duan Xun wrote: Xun Zhenzhi and Sun Bofu personally led the main force to attack Xin'an. Liang Cheng was defeated first, and Cheng was captured and executed; Although there are 7,000 troops guarding the city, I am afraid that it is still insufficient. I hope the general can send some more reinforcements to me.

—Liang Cheng, a general who Zhang Ji had previously arranged to guard the county border.

The Art of War says: 10 ways to encircle it. Even if Duan Xun's investigation was conclusive, there was no doubt that Xun Zhen and Sun Ce led the main force to attack Xin'an. There were indeed more than 20,000 main troops. That was only three times as many as Duan Xun's guards, but why was Duan Xun? Or did you fail to keep Xin'an's confidence? The reason is also simple. First, Xun Zhen's reputation is too great. Second, Sun Ce's reputation for defeating Lv Bu was spread to Hongnong early, and Duan Xun knew that he was also a skilled soldier and dared to fight, not a mediocre person. .

If Xun Zhen and Sun Ce were to lead troops and horses each, one attacking Yiyang and the other attacking Xin'an, then Duan Xun might have some confidence in defending Xin'an with the seven thousand guards in his hands, but it was beyond his expectations. Unexpectedly, Xun Zhen not only really attacked Xin'an, but also assumed a posture of concentrating on attacking with all his strength, attacking with Sun Ce! This will inevitably make Duan Xun lose his mind.

Therefore, Duan Xun asked Zhang Ji for reinforcements.

Zhang Ji, Duan Xun, and Yang Ding had been suspicious of each other before, and now they are at the juncture of life and death. For the sake of personal interests, Zhang Ji will definitely not ignore Duan Xun's request at this time, so he has sent troops and horses again. Thousands of people went to Xin'an to reinforce Duan Xuan.

…

Two days later, Duan Yu's second military newspaper

Delivered quickly.

But it was Xun Zhen, and Sun Ce's allied forces had already reached outside Xin'an City and launched an attack on Xin'an City.

Duan Xun wrote in this military newspaper: "Xun Zhenzhi and Sun Bofu attacked my city as soon as their troops arrived, and the offensive was extremely fierce. The casualties amounted to more than five hundred; the arrowheads of his army obtained at the head of the city were full of several chariots."

In just one day of battle, the troops defending the city suffered more than 500 casualties, accounting for nearly one-tenth of the total number of defenders, and this was Duan Xun's side defending the city, not in the context of a hand-to-hand combat with the Xun army. , the intensity of this battle is indeed not small.

Zhang Ji replied to Duan Xun himself.

The reply wrote: "Although our army suffered many casualties, Xun and Sun Yang attacked, and it is expected that their army will suffer more casualties. I hope the general will boost morale and keep Xin'an intact." After returning to the book, he wrote, "I have sent officials to Chang'an to ask for help from Che Qi and General Guo. Hongnong is the gateway to Guanzhong. The assistance of Che Qi and General Guo may be around the corner."

Asking for help, this is true.

Before Duan Xun and Yang Dingfen went to Xin'an and Yiyang to defend the city, Zhang Ji and the other three invariably proposed that it would be difficult to rely on them to defend Hongnong County, and they should ask Li Jue and Guo Si for reinforcements. As far as Li Jue and Guo Si are fighting against each other, the three of them also agree that at this juncture, Li Jue and Guo Si must not be able to fight any longer, and they must stop their troops and make peace as soon as possible, because the three of them are It was already decided at that time that Zhang Ji would come forward to write to Li Jue and Guo Si, persuade them to make peace, and at the same time ask for reinforcements from both of them.

This is what Zhang Ji said in his reply to Duan Xun, and he is already doing it.

The reply letter was sent away, and the next afternoon, Duan Xun's third army paper was delivered.

In this military newspaper, Duan Xun wrote: "After Xun and Sun attacked the city for a whole day yesterday, they resumed their attack today. Same as yesterday, from morning to evening, there was no general rest; arrows fell like rain. And in the afternoon, I I saw Xun Zhenzhi move the flag a few miles forward and approach my city. It should be Xun Zhenzhi himself who supervised the battle. Today, the offensive of Xun Zhen and Sun's soldiers was as fierce as yesterday! The soldiers suffered more than 800 casualties."

Zhang Ji hadn't figured out how to return this military report to Duan Xun, and at nightfall on the third day, Duan Xun's fourth military report was urgently delivered.

The military newspaper wrote: "Xun and Sun Bu were still attacking the city this morning, and when the battle was about noon, I heard that the soldiers of Yuzhou who attacked the southern city were shouting 'Sun Lang', sounding the roof tiles, watching him from a distance, seeing one The silver-armored generals are brave and brave, and it is expected that Sun Bofu will go into battle. In the future, the southern city wall will be damaged in two sections. I order my son to lead the soldiers to fight, and fight to the death, and the Yuzhou soldiers retreat. The city has not yet fallen."

At the end of the military report, Duan Xun once again asked for reinforcements.

Just by looking at the military newspaper, one can imagine the intensity of the battle, Zhang Ji sent another thousand troops to Xin'an for help.

Along with this support soldier, was Zhang Ji's second letter to Duan Xun.

Zhang Ji wrote in his reply: "Since Xun Zhenzhi personally oversaw the battle yesterday, and Sun Bofu personally led the crowd to attack, but all of them were unsuccessful, I cut off the information, and the morale of Xun Zhen and Sun's army must have declined. If we can win another game, Xun and Sun will probably not have another attack."

The next day, the military newspaper without Duan Yu arrived.

A day later, Duan Xun's fifth military report arrived.

However, in this military newspaper, Duan Xun's tone was obviously very different from the anxious tone in the previous military newspapers.

In this military report, Duan Xun reported to Zhang Ji: "Xun and Sun did not attack the city yesterday, but today they attacked it, as the general expected, and its strength is not as good as the previous days. You are still safe."

After reading Duan Xun's military report, Zhang Ji also raised his heart for several days, and finally calmed down a little, and took time to pay attention to the situation in Yiyang.

These days, Duan

There are military reports almost every day for simmering, but there are only two military reports sent by Yang Ding from Yiyang.

The first military report was sent to Zhang Ji the day after he arrived in Yiyang City two days ago, saying that Xu Rong led thousands of troops to the outside of Yiyang City, but he did not attack the city that day, just Choose a site to build a camp.

The second military report was sent the day before yesterday. In the military report, Yang Ding said that Xu Rong had set up an arrow book in the city and invited him to meet him out of the city, but he refused. If they fight, Xu Rong will return the troops to the camp.

[In other words, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books at present, Mimi Read, install the latest version. 】

In addition, Yang Ding has no military report.

But I don't know how Yiyang's situation is now? Zhang Ji sent people to Yiyang to inquire.

It was impossible for the dispatched military officers to turn around quickly, but based on the military reports from Duan Xun and Yang Ding, Zhang Ji judged that Yiyang should be fine.

…

On the night when the military officials who were inquiring about the situation in Yiyang left the city, more than ten cavalry came from the direction of Chang'an and entered the city, asking to see Zhang Ji.

It's Guo Si's book that has arrived.

Zhang Ji took the book back and hurriedly opened it to watch. After reading it, his expression was heavy.

When Zhang Xiu was indoors, he asked Zhang Ji and said, "Father, I don't know what General Guo said in the letter? Are you willing to send reinforcements?"

Zhang Ji gave Zhang Xiu the letter of Guo Si's reply, let him read it for himself, and said, "The combined forces of Xun Zhenzhi and Sun Bofu are already attacking my Hongnong, and it was reported a few days ago that Cao Mengde and Wang Wen have joined forces with ten thousand troops. Yu, I have also left Hedong and detained in Guanzhong, but I don't care that Che Qi is still unwilling to reconcile with General Guo!"

It turned out that Guo Sihui wrote in the book: "I don't know that Hongnong is the gateway to Guanzhong, and the real chariot refuses to make peace with me. I am like a helper, and the chariot attacks me, what can I do?"

Zhang Xiu read Guo Si's reply quickly, returned it to Zhang Ji, and said angrily, "It's short-sighted, it can be described as a chariot! The powerful enemy has come, but there is still internal strife. Father, if the chariot insists on not going with General Guo Reconciliation, then embroidery fears that Hongnong will be lost."

"You're right, with the two cities of Xin'an and Yiyang now, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com can still hold it for the time being, but if Xun Zhenzhi and Sun Bofu send reinforcements from Yanzhou and Yuzhou? If you wait for 20,000 people, I'm afraid you can't keep it! The infighting between Che Qi and General Guo can't continue!"

Zhang Xiu asked, "What is Father going to do?"

Zhang Ji thought about it for a while, then made a decision and said, "I will go to Chang'an in person, and I will tell you about He Cheqi and General Guo."

Zhang Xiu was taken aback and said, "Father wants to go to Chang'an in person? Then Xin'an, Yiyang... Father, Xun Zhenzhi and Sun Bofu are on the offensive. If Father leaves at this time, will there be any damage? Unstable military heart?"

Zhang Ji said: "The capital of Xunzhen personally supervised the battle, and Sun Bofu personally went into battle, but they still failed to capture Xin'an. I expect that their offensive may be suspended, or at least not in a short period of time. It was as violent as before, and it is appropriate to take this opportunity so that I can go to Chang'an, talking about He Cheqi and General Guo."

Zhang Xiu thought for a moment, then said: "Father said very much." He said to Zhang Ji, "The chariot and General Guo have been fighting fiercely, both inside and outside Chang'an, and the current situation may be very dangerous. Let's go to Chang'an together, and protect my father comprehensively."

Zhang Ji waved his hand and said, "I will go to Chang'an, and there will be no danger. You don't have to go with me. You can stay in Hongnong County and guard for me."

Zhang Xiu promised.

Time is tight, Zhang Ji decided to go to Chang'an tomorrow, but the next day, before he left, an urgent report came.

A hundred miles south of Hongnong County, in the territory of Lu's County, there appeared soldiers and horses under Xun Zhen's army, watching their flags, and they were flying Xunzhen's flags.
