Three Kingdoms: Plundering Entries, From Merchants to Emperors

At noon, Zhang Chen returned to the prefect's mansion and went to the front hall to pay his respects to Li Wen.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhang He was also there. Zhang Chen approached Li Wen and saluted. Just as he was about to say a few words to Zhang He, he saw Zhang He bowed and said, "I am Zhang He, the last general, and I pay my respects to the prefect."

It turned out that Li Wen had summoned him and had told him that he would be transferred to Wuwei soon, and Zhang Chen would take over as the prefect of Wei County.

Li Wen stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Zifan, although Junyi is young, he is a rare talent. With him in the army, we don't have to worry about the military affairs."

Zhang Chen also nodded and said: "Master, what you said is very true. This time, Junyi was very brave in lifting the siege of Yingtao. He challenged several generals of the enemy army alone, and he made the first contribution!"

"It's all thanks to your planning. I dare not take credit for it."

"Well, merit is merit." Li Wen said, "But I have resigned. You can find him for the reward. Huh? Hahaha!"

"My lord! My lord!" Suddenly, a servant rushed in from outside the door.

Seeing that the man was so reckless, Li Wen said with some displeasure: "What happened? You are so flustered. Can't you see that both of you are here? How disgraceful!"

"Sir, there is a man outside the door, claiming to be a servant of the Zhongshan Zhen family, and he wants to see you. He said... his young lady was kidnapped by bandits!"

"What!" Zhang Chen was shocked, "Hurry up and call him in!"

Young lady of the Zhen family? Could it be Zhen Jiang?

Zhang Chen's heart was suddenly shrouded in a haze.

Soon, the servant brought the man in.

When the man saw Li Wen, he knelt down with a "thump".

"Sir Li! Please... please save my young lady, my young lady... she... she was kidnapped by bandits!"

When Li Wen saw the man, he was also shocked. He did know the man. He was a servant of the Zhen family, named Zhen Wang.

When he celebrated his birthday last year, the second son of the Zhen family came to congratulate him and brought this person with him, so he had some impression of him.

"Tell me more clearly, what happened?"

It turned out that this Zhen Wang was none other than the driver who drove the carriage just now.

Just now, he was just knocked unconscious by the bandits. When he woke up, he found that the young lady and Jinxiu, as well as the carriage, were all gone, and then he knew that something big had happened. So he hurried back to the city, thinking that Lord Li had an old relationship with the Zhen family, so he came to ask Lord Li to send troops to rescue him.

At that moment, Zhen Wang told him everything that happened today.

After hearing this, Zhang Chen was very anxious and said hurriedly: "Master, this matter is caused by me. I ran into Miss Zhen in the market today. If it weren't for me, they would not have taken that path. Please give the order, Master, I am willing to lead the troops myself to rescue them!"

Seeing Zhang Chen so anxious, Li Wen smiled and said: "Zifan, now you are the governor of Wei County, and the mobilization of troops is all from you, why ask me?"

Ah? !

Zhang Chen immediately recovered.

Yes, now that the letter of appointment has been issued, he is already the governor of Wei County in name and reason, and naturally has the right to mobilize troops. I was in a hurry just now and actually forgot!

"You are too concerned, it seems that you are very concerned about the girl from the Zhen family?"

"Master, I..."

"Okay, why don't you send troops quickly? If you are late, something might happen." Li Wen's expression changed, and he said solemnly: "Ask Junyi to go with you, and by the way, destroy the group of bandits who are causing trouble in the village!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Chen and Zhang He responded, and then left the house and went straight to the military camp.

After listening to Zhen Wang's description, Zhang He knew that the group of bandits was the "Qingfeng Village" entrenched on Qingfeng Mountain in the eastern suburbs. There are three village owners in the village, all of whom are highly skilled in martial arts, and there are more than 2,000 bandit soldiers. It is the strongest bandit nest in the vicinity.

It's a pity that Gao Shun and the "Xianzhen Camp" are not here, otherwise it would be no problem to deal with such bandits!

When he arrived at the camp, Zhang Chen immediately ordered someone to fetch a map to check.

Zhang He pointed at the map and said, "Sir, this 'Qingfeng Village' is divided into two villages, the front and the back. The front village is located at the foot of the mountain, with about 1,500 bandits. The back village is located on the mountainside ten miles away. It is a place to store grain. Because of the dangerous terrain, it is usually guarded by only more than 500 people. These bandits are very cunning, and the government has encircled and suppressed them several times, but the bandit village is backed by mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the back village is high above. Once the government troops approach, they will use whistling arrows to warn, and it is impossible to attack by surprise!"

Zhang Chen carefully examined the terrain on the map and pondered in his heart.

What Zhang He said was right. The terrain of the back village is dangerous, and the only way up the mountain is blocked by the front village and cannot be passed. The back village stands on the mountainside, high above. Once the army approaches, it can be detected by the bandits within thirty miles, and they cannot hide at all.

The front village stands on the main road, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to capture it, you must have several times more troops than the enemy.

There were only 3,000 soldiers in Yecheng. No wonder they failed to conquer the city after many expeditions.can succeed. But at this moment, it is too late to transfer troops from Guangping.

Zhen Jiang is now trapped in the hands of the bandits. The longer the delay, the more danger there is!

"Jun Yi, is there any other way to the rear camp?"

Zhang He looked at the map, pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, saying: "There is a way, please look at it, sir."

Zhang He said, pointing along the map, and said: "From here, climb up the rocks and reach here. There is a secluded mountain road here that leads directly to the rear camp!"

Zhang Chen slapped the table and said happily: "Good! If we can take the rear camp in one fell swoop along this road, the bandits will be defeated!"

After hearing this, Zhang He immediately bowed and said: "Please give me five hundred soldiers, sir, I will definitely break through the rear camp. If I fail, I will be punished by military law!"

"Okay!" Zhang Chen said, "Zhang He, listen to my orders!"

"I am here!"

"I order you to lead 500 soldiers, disguised as civilians, go there in batches, prepare flying claws and hooks, climb up the mountain road, and attack the rear camp through the small road to burn their food and grass!"

"I obey your orders!"

"I will lead the army to feint to attack the front camp, and you and I will attack from the front and back to catch these thieves in one fell swoop!"

Zhang Chen slammed the table with a "bang", and a murderous look appeared in his eyes.

Without delay, after the plan was completed, Zhang He immediately selected 500 soldiers, changed into casual clothes, lined with armor, carried short knives and flying claws, left the camp and headed straight for Qingfeng Mountain.

Zhang Chen also selected 2,000 elite cavalry and rushed to Qingfeng Village with great fanfare.

Most of these elite cavalrymen participated in the Battle of Yingtao. Now they have seen blood and can be called elites.

At the same time, in Qingfeng Village, a group of bandits were celebrating with a banquet.

A bandit held a bowl and said to the bearded man sitting in the main seat in the middle: "Brother, today is your big day. You must drink a few more cups with your brothers to celebrate your marriage to such a beautiful and charming wife, haha!"

"Okay, okay!" The bearded man drank the wine in one gulp and grabbed a chicken leg and chewed it.

"Brothers, don't be anxious. I told you that I will marry that young lady tonight, and that little maid will be given to you to enjoy. But be careful, don't kill her, this quality is not easy to find!"

"Thank you, brother! Hahaha!"

"Come on, brothers, drink!"

"Brother, tonight is your big day, why don't you call the brothers in the back camp to come down and have fun together, how about it?"

"Okay, go! Call all the brothers to come down, all come down! Tonight, we won't go home until we are drunk!"

"Not until we are drunk!"

"Not until we are drunk!"
