The teenager is very arrogant

Chapter 97
Ding Ji's life was in Zhang Yang's hands, and Qi Zhi didn't dare to move lightly. He rushed back to the barracks and a group of confidants discussed how to rescue Ding Ji.During the discussion, Zhang Yang's confidant came to see him.

Not knowing what Zhang Yang meant, he waved his hand to let him enter the tent, the man only handed Qi Zhi a letter, and left.Qi Zhi opened the letter and saw it said: "Go to Shouyang immediately, otherwise Ding Ji's life will be lost."

No name, no title, just a few numbers, Qi Zhi knows, this is Zhang Yang threatening himself with Ding Ji's life!
No way, the former Lord Ding Yuan was the only son of Ding Ji, so he must not make any mistakes. Qi Zhi could only rush to Shouyang. Many officers in the army followed him, so I won't mention it here.However, Zhang Yang did not give up his intention to touch Qi Zhi. After several tests with everyone in the army, even Sui Gu, Mu Shun and Yang Chou did not agree with Zhang Yang's attack on Qi Zhi. In order to avoid public anger, Zhang Yang had to hold back for the time being. thought.

This is the preface, no more narration.

Let's say that Yang Chou, commanding more than ten thousand soldiers, came to the city of Shouyang and shouted to open the city gate.The soldiers at the top of the city rushed to report to Qi Zhi, Qi Zhi stepped onto the top of the wall, looked down, saw Yang Chou, laughed and cupped his hands and said, "General Yang, long time no see!"

"Zhenjiang! Quickly open the city gate and let me enter." Yang Chou raised his head and shouted.

Qi Zhi shook his head and said, "No, Yang Chou, I have surrendered to Governor Zhao, so I cannot let you enter the city."

"What!" Yang Chou under the city opened his eyes wide, unwilling to believe it at all, "Zhenjiang, don't you care about Ding Ji's life? If Zhang Yang knows that you have voted for Xin Zhao, Ding Ji's life is in danger!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a new boy beside Qi Zhi in the city, with sword eyebrows and handsome eyes, standing tall on the top of the city, his body was as imposing as a long spear, piercing Changhong.

"I, Zhao Yun, admire the name of General Yang very much. I also hope that General Yang will take the memory of uniting the people of the state, stop the war without killing, and return to my lord."

Zhao Yun?Could it be the younger brother of Changshan Zhao Zilin?
Previously, when Xin Zhao became famous all over the world, all members of the family and major events that happened were all praised. It can be said that Zhao Yun also became popular because of Xin Zhao at the same time.

"Hmph! If you want to recruit me, Xin Zhao will come anyway, and you, a child with a yellow mouth, dare to speak nonsense!" Yang Chou was designed by Zhao Xin to abandon his stronghold and leave. Yang Chou's self-esteem was hit again, and he cursed several times before leading his troops away.

Zhao Yun, the head of the city, smiled, and would not refute, nor send troops out of the city, but watched Yang Chou leave with a smile.

Let's say that after Zhao Yun was ordered by Zhao Xinxin to be the order of the Yanmen, he rectified the Yanmen soldiers and horses, and on the other hand, he went to Shouyang in person to ask to see Qi Zhi.It turned out that when Zhao Yun was traveling in Shouyang earlier, he met Qi Zhi in a wine shop, both of them were martial arts practitioners, and they could tell at a glance that the other party was a fellow, so they agreed to have a competition.

In this regard, the two revealed their feelings, and they had known each other for two years.

When Qi Zhi learned of Zhao Yun's visit, he went out of the city to meet him in person, and held a banquet in honor of him.During the banquet, Zhao Yun went straight to the point, revealing his identity as Zhao Xin's younger brother, Yanmen Ling, who came here this time to recruit Qi Zhi.

Qi Zhi was shocked and didn't comment.

Zhao Yun reasoned: "The ancients said that a good bird chooses a tree. Zhenjiang is dedicated to serving the country and full of bravery. How can he be confined to a mere Shouyang by Zhang Yang? You should submit to my lord, calm the world, and comfort the world. Besides. , your young master Ding Ji is imprisoned, so what can you do if you spend your whole life in Shouyang Kongkong? It is better to submit to my master, lead the army to destroy Jinyang, and rescue Ding Ji."

Qi Zhi thought for a while and said, "If I can save the life of the old master's son, I will surrender myself."

Zhao Yun patted Qi Zhi on the shoulder, and said: "I will do my best naturally, Ding Ji is under Zhang Yang's control, even I am not fully sure."

Before Qi Zhi could reply, Zhao Yun continued, "However, whenever there is a chance, a certain Zhao Zilong will go all out!"

During the two years of getting along with Xin Zhao, Qi Zhi knows his character very well, he can be said to be a real man who keeps his word and trusts him very much, so he declares his submission to Xin Zhao.

Qi Zhi cupped his hands at Zhao Yun and said: "General Zhao, General Yang has no bad intentions, treats soldiers like sons, if they can surrender, it will be a good thing."

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Naturally. Yun still trusts General Qi's vision, but now that Yang Chou has lost his mind, it will be beneficial to our army to let him return to Zhang Yang's side."

After thinking about it for a while, Qi Zhi naturally understood what Zhao Yun said, so he didn't say any more.

Yang Chou returned from Shouyang City, frowning, not knowing where he was going.On the one hand, Yang Zheng said: "General, Shouyang is now surrendered to Zhao Xin, only Baima County is left, why don't you retreat to Baima?"

"Hmph! Do you think I'm stupid? The white horse is located between Yanmen and Shouyang. Going to the white horse is my own death!"

"That's not the case, right now we have to lead the troops back to Jinyang." Yang Zheng pinched his long eyebrows and said.

"Go back and go back, you can't talk about surrender!" Yang Chou stopped procrastinating and led more than ten thousand soldiers to Jinyang, the capital of Bingzhou, without mentioning it.

Jinyang City, Zhang Yang's mansion.

"Crack!!! I'm so angry! Yang Chou, who led [-] troops, was defeated by [-] old, weak, sick, and disabled!!" Zhang Yang roared on the high hall, his expression insane Crazy, everyone in the hall looked bitter and did not dare to speak.

After venting, Zhang Yang just sat down angrily, looked gloomyly, glanced at the people below the steps, and said coldly: "Everyone, tell me, what should be done now!" '

Dong Zhao took a step forward, bowed his hands, and said respectfully, "My lord, Captain Chen Liu is about to arrive, so Xin Zhao's expansion rate is so fast this year, and his troops will definitely be scattered. At that time, my lord and Cao Cao will divide the north and south and attack him." , Defeating Xin Zhao is extremely easy. Right now the enemy is at the front, beheading the general is not beneficial to oneself, it is still time to employ people, if it is better to let him take the blame and make meritorious deeds, it is fine."

Zhang Yang was still angry, and cursed a few more times: "You are all idiots! What's the use of raising it!!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the venue looked unhappy, even Dong Zhao's eyes flashed a trace of dissatisfaction.

Three days later, Yang Chou and Yang Zheng returned to Jinyang with more than ten thousand soldiers and horses, but no one greeted them, the scene was extremely miserable, only Dong Zhao stood at the foot of the city to meet them.

Seeing Dong Zhao, Yang Chou looked extremely ashamed, bowed his head and said in embarrassment: "Military Master, it is my incompetence that caused today's defeat."

Dong Zhao smiled and said, "This battle is a false report of the war situation, not the general's crime. Although the lord blames the crime on the surface, in fact he doesn't care about it in his heart. Please ask the general to go to the lord's mansion to plead guilty."

Hearing these words, Yang Chou felt a big stone fall from his heart, and he bowed his hands and agreed.

After entering the city, all the soldiers and horses were put into the barracks. Yang Chou unloaded his armor and sword, and came to Zhang Yang's mansion to plead guilty.

The butler Zhang Chun opened the door, led him into the lobby, and went straight to Zhang Yang's study.

"My lord, the last general is ineffective in battle, please punish me, my lord!" As soon as he entered the study, Yang Chou didn't raise his head, and directly pleaded guilty with one knee.

At this time, Zhang Yang also realized that Yang Chou, Mu Shun, and Sui Gu were powerful generals under his command, and now Sui Gu had defected to Xin Zhao, and Sui Gu had also been dismissed from office due to the defeat.

When Mu Shun was removed before, almost everyone under his command opposed it, but Zhang Yang insisted on going his own way and replaced him with Yang Chou!

Yang Chou was naturally very grateful for Zhang Yang's kindness when he got such an opportunity, but the ending was not so good!If Yang Chou was killed just like that, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face?
"General Yang has worked hard! Are you injured?" Zhang Yang personally stepped forward, reached out to support Yang Chou, and asked warmly.

But Yang Chou would rather kneel down, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, the final general was defeated by Xin Zhao, and I returned my Bingzhou general's dead soldiers. It's for sinners, and the lord will punish me!"

Zhang Yang went straight to his hands, helped Yang Chou up, and said: "Then Zhao Xin is a treacherous person who is good at using treacherous schemes. General Yang is upright by nature, and I was expected to be framed by a traitor once. I will write this down for now. I believe that General Yang will be able to avenge today’s shame in the future!”

Yang Zhengyan was moved to tears and said sincerely: "I really must not listen to Yang Zheng's words! If someone is defeated, there should be something to report to the lord!"

"What's the matter?" Seeing Yang Chou's serious expression, Zhang Yang couldn't help panicking.

Yang Chou told all the things that Yang Zheng had been encouraging him to surrender to Cao Cao.

After Zhang Yang heard it, he was furious, "I regard Yang Zheng as my son, but he betrayed me so much!" Immediately waved his hand and sent an order: "Catch Yang Zheng immediately, and I will kill him to vent my anger!"

Yang Chou hastily uttered a voice to stop him, and said, "My lord, there are countless people who want to surrender right now, so I need to call in a military advisor to make a plan."

Thinking about it, Zhang Yang felt the same way, and hurriedly ordered Yang Chou to invite Dong Zhao, but Yang Chou handed it over and went without mentioning it.

Besides, Zhang Chun, the housekeeper serving outside the hall, was Yang Zheng's brother-in-law. Hearing the conversation in the hall, he left Zhang Yang's mansion in a panic and went straight to the barracks, looking for Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng often got the latest news from Zhang Chun, and when he heard Zhang Chun report the news like this, he laughed and said, "It's okay, so-and-so just needs to not admit it at that time."

But Zhang Chun shook his head, and said: "No! Brother, I don't know. Ever since Qi Zhi returned to Zhao Xin, that guy Zhang Yang has been on guard. He wanted to kill chickens to warn monkeys! Brother, hurry up! Submit to Governor Zhao!"

Yang Zheng shook his head and said, "No, it's surrender. How can you vote for a child with a yellow mouth?" "

"What does that brother mean?"

"Chen Liu, Cao Cao, has always been ambitious. He assassinated Dong alone, and paid the imperial edict to hunt down the thieves. He should serve someone! How can there be no reason for surrendering? Besides, there are still more than [-] defeated soldiers in the barracks. Because of Zhang Yang's delay in paying the salary for several months, I have already turned my back on it. I just need to raise my arms and I will follow! Some, if you retreat, you can vote for Cao, and if you advance, you can lead troops to stand on your own, and you will be the governor! At that time, brother's glory and wealth, isn't it Get what you want?'

When Zhang Chun heard the words, he grinned and agreed very much, and said: "I will go back to the mansion first to find out news for my brother."

Yang Zheng patted Zhang Chun's arm, and said, "The big things are in the public eye, but if there is news, it should be reported."

Zhang Chun nodded and left quickly.

Let's say that Zhang Chun left the military camp, but he didn't rush back to Zhang Yang's mansion, but went straight to his own home, took his wife and children with him, and hurried to the east gate without even picking up the gold and silver.

His wife Qian asked: "In such a hurry, where are we going?"

Zhang Chundao: "you are a woman, why do you need to ask more questions, you just need to go on your way."

……

Dong Zhao rushed to the assassin's mansion and entered the hall. Zhang Yang immediately told Yang Chou what he had said and asked about his strategy.

Dong Zhao narrowed his eyes, pondered for a long time, and said, "My lord, according to my recent observations, there are many people who have no fighting spirit, and those who have different ideas in their minds are not obvious. In addition, the salary has not been paid, and the soldiers complain a lot. I am afraid that one person will raise the flag and many If there are followers, our army will be defeated without a fight. There may be two strategies to protect the way out."

"What's the plan?" Zhang Yang hurriedly asked as if it was too late.

Dong Zhaodao: "Right now, you can surrender the state to Zhao Xin, or you can hide anonymously and hide in the bushes."

"Your words are really treacherous schemes!" As soon as Zhang Yang finished listening, he yelled, Dong Zhao was stunned on the spot, heaved a long sigh, and walked away.Zhang Yang was anxious, and shouted in the hall that Dong Zhao should be executed!

The soldiers guarding the courtyard had already knocked Dong Zhao to the ground, and Dong Zhao's life was in danger.

Yang Chou thought about Dong Zhao's reception at the city gate before, and even pleaded for Dong Zhao, Zhang Yang just let Dong Zhao go.

Dong Zhao walked out of the governor's gate, hehe smiled miserably, and made a big fuss, your life is over.You can't bear to take me with you, so don't blame me for being ungrateful. At this point, you and I have broken up.After speaking, Dong Zhao took off the official hat on his head, put it in front of the gate of Zhang Yang's mansion, and left without a trace.

After Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, he was full of regrets again. How could Yang Chou fail to see Zhang Yang's thoughts, and immediately said to the steps: "My lord, what the military adviser said is also what the lord thinks, and the crime is not to death. Shall I go find a military advisor?"

Zhang Yang, who had his back to Yang Chou, didn't answer, Yang Chou knew what to do, so he went out to look for Dong Zhao.

I went to Dong Zhao's mansion, but I knew that Dong Zhao had left with several confidantes, and no one knew his whereabouts!
Facing the empty Dong Zhao's study, Yang Chou sighed and didn't hurry back to the house, but pondered deeply on the spot, thinking: The military master has left, no matter whether the lord is against Zhao Xin or Cao Cao, he will lose. !I should also think about the way out!

After figuring it out, Yang Chou immediately rushed back to the barracks, looking for Yang Zheng urgently. Yang Zheng learned from his confidants that Yang Chou was alone, so he laughed at ease and came to meet him.

Yang Chou said: "I regret that I didn't listen to the king's words. All the military advisers who have always been loyal to Zhang Yang have left him. It can be seen that Zhang Yang is really incompetent! Now, if a certain person is willing to submit to Cao Cao, can you be willing to go with him?"

Yang Zheng smiled and shook his head, thinking: Just now you were still in front of the lord, slandering me, and now you have nowhere to go but you come back, who do you think I am?
Although he was angry in his heart, Yang Zheng still had a smile on his face, and said: "The good time has passed, it is impossible to surrender at this time."

"Why?" Yang Chou was very confused!Why do you want to surrender for a while and not surrender for a while?

Yang Zheng said: "Before we were defeated by Zhao Xin, we could rely on Mr. Cao as a reinforcement, and Zhang Yang also explained that it was for temporary support, and we will stay with Cao Ying in the future."Now that I have returned to Jinyang, how can I seek refuge again?The general doesn't know that Cao Gong and Zhang Yang are in an alliance, and Cao Gong will come soon. Because of this, if you go, how can Cao Gong take you in?How can Zhang Yang forgive him?How does the world treat you and me? '

Hearing this, Yang Chou didn't take it seriously, but said: "Zhang Yang treats me well, and I can't bear to take away his soldiers and horses. The ancients said that good birds choose trees to live in. Since the father doesn't want to go with him, a certain one will go." '

After all, Yang Chou stopped talking, got up and left, Yang Zheng looked at Yang Chou's back, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then quickly disappeared, turning into a warm smile, already thinking about it.
