The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

[Second update. 】

Outside the city of Yingtao, Zhang Niujiao and Chu Feiyan joined forces in the camp.

——

Dozens of battalions were gathered in the handsome tent.

The crowd formed a ring, with an open space in the middle, and a corpse was placed on the mat on the ground.

This corpse is the dead Zhang Niujiao.

Zhang Niujiao was in his forties, with a red face and a strong beard. Although he had died, he still gave people a sense of mighty power.

On the head of the mat, there was a person kneeling and worshiping, about twenty-eight-nine years old, with a black face and short mustache, strong and majestic.

Chu Feiyan and Zhang Niujiao have known each other for many years. Zhang Niujiao is a hero of Jizhou. Chu Feiyan always salutes him as a son and nephew. This time Zhang Niujiao was persuaded by him. Zhang Niujiao was killed on the battlefield less than a month after the incident.

Chu Feiyan fell to the ground and cried.

"Chu Shuai condolences. Zhang Shuai is dead, and crying is useless. The most important thing at the moment, Zhong thinks that it is time to decide our army's advance and stop as soon as possible."

The person who spoke was not tall, but his voice was very loud. His name was Li Zhong. He was a bandit leader in Changshan County. He had about 2,000 subordinates. Nicknamed "Lei Gong".

"Chu Shuai, before Zhang Shuai died, he ordered me to enshrine you as the commander of all my ministries. At present, the gall pottery is still unbroken, and Xun Gong is staring at the outside. The three armies have lost their command and their morale has fluctuated, which is not good for me! The current situation , whether our army should advance or retreat, please give your order."

The person who spoke was not tall, but he had a handsome appearance and big eyes. His name was Li Xiu, and because of his big eyes, he was called "Li Damu". He is not from Changshan, nor from Boling or Julu. He is a hero from Zhongshan County. He has a good relationship with Zhang Niujiao. After Zhang Niujiao's incident, he brought two or three thousand people to vote and followed Zhang Niujiao to fight against Boling and Julu. deer.

After Lei Gong and Li Damu finished speaking, many of the remaining young marshals also spoke up and asked Chu Feiyan to order.

Losing the commander before the battle is a major taboo in the military. Although many of Lei Gong and others do not know the art of war, they are aware of this. When Zhang Niujiao was not dead, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were united around Zhang Niujiao and Chu Feiyan, and their morale was high.

In the final analysis, the tens of thousands of cavalry outside Yingtao City were formed by a combination of many people and horses, including Chu Feiyan's direct line, Zhang Niujiao's direct line, some who ran for Zhang Niujiao's name, and some who ran for Chu Feiyan's name. There are those who are willing to obey Zhang Niujiao's military orders and take Chu Feiyan as the commander, and there are those who are unwilling to obey Zhang Niujiao's military orders, have different aspirations, and want to be self-reliant.

For example, Yang Feng, he was unwilling to follow Chu Feiyan as his handsome.

Yang Feng was Zhang Niujiao's direct descendant. Before Chu Feiyan came, he was the number two person in Zhang Niujiao's army. There were two or three thousand men and horses who directly followed his command, and four or five small handsome tents who were close to him and had hearts for him. There are also two or three thousand men and horses together. Three thousand plus three thousand is 6,000 men and horses, equivalent to one-fifth of the coalition's strength, and there is indeed capital to compete with Chu Feiyan.

He bowed down on the other side of the mat, facing Chu Feiyan, crying bitterly, and thinking in his heart: "Zhang Shuai is dizzy, but how can I hand over my family from Boling and Zhongshan to an outsider?"

Boling was originally a county in Zhongshan. Boling has not been a county for many years. In the eyes of many people from Zhongshan and Boling, they are still from the same county.

Hearing that Chu Feiyan's crying on the opposite side gradually stopped, Yang Feng also slowly stopped crying. Taking the opportunity to wipe her eyes, she peeped at Chu Feiyan who was on the opposite side of her eyes. Seeing that his eyes were red and swollen, and his face was full of sorrow, he thought to himself, "Fake it. It's quite like he came to join forces with Zhang Shuai this time. He only brought more than ten thousand men and horses, together with all the young marshals who are friends with me. Now there are five or six thousand cavalrymen who will definitely obey my orders. , I might not be able to win some more support, as long as I can win a few thousand more people, I can compete with him!"

Yang Feng's plan was finalized, she got up with Chu Feiyan, and was about to speak first when she heard Chu Feiyan say in a low voice, "Today, Zhang Shuai has entrusted the three armies, and Yan is willing to change his surname to Zhang."

Yang Feng was dumbfounded.

Chu Feiyan changed her surname to Zhang, in order to use her son Zhang Niujiao.

No matter how good Yang Feng's calculations were, it was no match for Chu Feiyan's words.

Since Chu Feiyan has become Zhang Feiyan, and since Chu Feiyan and Zhang Niujiao have become a father-son relationship, Zhang Niujiao's troops and position in the coalition should naturally be inherited by Chu Feiyan.

With his words, those little handsomes who were not convinced by him at first were as speechless as Yang Feng. Everyone bowed down and said in unison, "Please order Zhang Shuai!"

When Zhang Feiyan was crying just now, she had figured out how to deal with the accident of Zhang Niujiao's death. The best way to deal with it was to continue to attack the city and use a victory to avenge Zhang Niujiao. It is a pity that Xun Zhen is now the leader of the coalition army. Xun Zhen knows that he is good at fighting, and he will definitely not let Zhang Niujiao die in battle and the coalition army is unstable. He will definitely cross the river to attack. , as a result, this good policy will not work.

Only the next option can be chosen.

He stood in front of all the Xiaoshuai and ordered: "Withdraw the siege of Ying Tao, and the whole army will return to the Yang family."

Yang Feng shouted angrily: "Return to the Yang family? At this time, shouldn't it be time to avenge the old coach? Why did you retreat and retreat!"

Zhang Feiyan was opposed by Yang Feng when he boarded the first command of the coalition commander. He was not annoyed, and said pleasantly: "Father commander was killed in battle, and I should avenge my father commander, but there is Xun on the south bank of the water. Duke Xun sees the tiger, Duke Xun, who knows how to fight and is good at fighting, our troops should temporarily avoid their front."

"So, don't you plan to avenge the old coach? Well, you can go, I won't go! I want to stay and break the gall pottery, slaughter him, and avenge the old coach!"

"Father is handsome, my father is handsome, how can I not take revenge for my father? But revenge can't be reckless."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"If you want to destroy the gall pottery, you must first destroy Duke Xun, remove the worries of our army, and then try your best to attack the city."

"How do you break Xun's army first?"

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles. The current situation is: our army's morale is unstable, Xun Gong is full of energy, and there is Xun Gong's army of tigers and wolves outside. In order to avoid defeat, our army has to choose another battlefield that is beneficial to me, and defeat Duke Xun on that battlefield."

"Where is it beneficial to our army?"

"It's the Yang family."

"Why is the Yang family beneficial to our army?"

"Yang's is now in our army's hands. If our army returns to Yang's, first of all, it can avoid the unfavorable situation of fighting on the internal and external fronts, and secondly, Yang's is south of Xianshui, which means that if Duke Xun wants to attack me, he must first It is good for our army to cross this water."

"You sound good, but how can you guarantee that Xun Zhenzhi will cross the river to attack the Yang family? What if he doesn't come?"

"He will surely come."

"Why?"

"Yang's family is not far from Gaoyi. Gaoyi is the prefecture of Jizhou. The governor of the Han Dynasty is here. In order to prevent our army from attacking Gaoyi, Duke Xun will definitely come."

Zhang Feiyan talked eloquently, and all the young marshals in the tent were all admired, and Yang Feng was also speechless and had nothing to say.

Zhang Feiyan looked at the people in the tent and asked, "Who has any objection?"

"I have no objection."

"Duke Xun has made great achievements in battle. Guo Dian, the prefect of Julu in Yingtao City, once attacked General Tiangong from Duke Huangfu. To prevent the two of them leading their troops to pursue, the battalions should not move for the time being. After you return to the camp, not only will you attack the city as usual, but the attack will be a little more violent, and you must not break the gall pottery and avenge my father. He didn't want to give up, in order to deceive Duke Xun and Guo Dian. Until the night after tomorrow, the three armies and their battalions will quietly go around the north of the city in turn."

All promise.

"In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, this time the withdrawal of the army, I will personally make the decision for you!"

After hearing Zhang Feiyan's words, even Yang Feng admired him.

With Guo Dian inside and Xun Zhen outside, the situation was extremely unfavorable for the coalition forces. Under such a situation, it would be a very dangerous thing to cut off. Yang Feng asked himself if it was him, he would never take the initiative to cut off.

...

On the south bank of the water, Xun Zhen asked the scout, "How are the bandits moving?"

"The siege has begun again."

"How's the offense?"

"It was very violent. Chu Feiyan and other thieves and handsomes all came to the front to urge and supervise the battle."

Xun Zhenhu asked suspiciously, "Are Chu Feiyan and the others trying to avenge Zhang Niujiao?" He asked the scout, "How is the situation of the bandit camp on the other side of the river?"

"Compared to before, it's 2,000 more steps to ride."

Xun You hesitantly said, "Lieutenant, Chu Feiyan is preventing our department from crossing the river."

"It's adding troops to the north bank of the river, and supervising the battle, what does Chu Feiyan want to do? Didn't Zhang Niujiao's death have any impact on the morale of the bandit soldiers?" Xun Zhen asked the scout again, "How is the morale of the bandit soldiers? "

"From the offensive point of view, it seems to be very prosperous."

Xun Zhen asked Xun You, "Gongda, what do you think?"

"Zhang Niujiao is the head coach of the thieves. It is impossible for him to die without a blow to the morale of the thieves. Now the thieves are not only in chaos, but they are attacking the city harder. You think there are two possibilities."

"Which two are possible?"

"Zhang Niujiao appointed a new head coach before his death. This head coach has been approved by the thieves and soldiers. The first is that the thieves are attacking the city more and more, which may be confusing me, the second."

Xun Zhen knew that after Zhang Niujiao's death, Chu Feiyan took over as the head coach of the various ministries, but Zhang Niujiao had just died. Could it be that Chu Feiyan had already been recognized by the various minions? How fast!

He frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Chu Feiyan is not simple~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is a person, and it is possible that he has been recognized by the thieves and soldiers. It's confusing me to wait', it is indeed possible. Come on!"

The scout under the tent responded, "Yes."

"Continue to monitor the other side closely, especially at night, and always pay attention to the movement on the other side to prevent them from escaping at night."

The scout promised to step back.

"Lieutenant, do you still want to send troops to cross the river and harass the thieves on the other side?"

"Don't worry, I'll talk about it when I find out the details of Chu Feiyan."

On the other side of the river, the thieves troops continued to attack the city, and the attack was much stronger than before, but the attack stopped shortly after night.

A few days ago, the thieves attacked the city day and night. As soon as the offensive stopped, it immediately aroused Xun Zhen's vigilance. sign.

Xun Zhen stayed up in the camp until dawn, making sure that Chu Feiyan did not escape at night, so she couldn't stand the sleepiness and fell asleep in her clothes.

On this day, the thieves attacked for another day and stopped at night.

Soon after the third day, Xun Zhen and Xun You couldn't help but doubt their own judgment. Xun You said, "It's strange. After three days of fierce attacks, there was no sign of retreating. Could it be that the thieves really want to avenge Zhang Niujiao?"

Xun Zhen is a person who is reluctant to be careless. Although she stayed up for two consecutive nights without sleep, she was still very alert that night, and she refused to relax the inquiries on the other side. The bandit soldiers abandoned their camp and retreated north."

"What about the thieves on the shore?"

"Also withdraw."

Xun Zhen immediately regained his energy, and ordered: "I immediately pass on my army order, ordering Li Xiang's troops to cross the river immediately! The army in the front and the army in the rear also prepare for the battle immediately and cross the river from me." (To be continued)
