Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 307 Never let go
Walking on the blood-stained streets, stepping over the corpses of countless Guangling soldiers, Wang Zheng walked into the hall.

When passing through the city gate, he looked up at the sky, under the feast of killing, even the sun seemed to be blood-colored.

After Ji Ling was sacrificed that day, when everyone was discussing, Wang Zheng insisted on collecting white clothes first, so that all the three armies were completely plain, and even the flags were all changed into plain colors. After another three or four days, the With the army that was completely aroused by him, he began to attack the city.

As soon as the sky was bright, the prelude to the war began. When the sun was high, the four walls of the city had been completely occupied. After nearly half a day of street fighting, some of the Guangling troops who were still fighting in the corner were all killed or surrendered.

Of course, the fly in the ointment was that in the end, the Yan people who stabbed Ji Ling to death were able to escape from the siege.

But this is only for Yuan Jun who really wants to avenge his own county lieutenant, and will be greatly disappointed.

From Wang Zheng's point of view, he never thought of killing Zhang Fei at this time.

Leaving aside how much it would cost to kill this top military general of the Three Kingdoms, the key point is that if Zhang Fei really died here, Liu Xuande and Guan Yunchang would not have to fight him to the end?

Wang Zheng did not forget that his purpose was to drive Liu Bei out of Xuzhou, not to attack the city for Yuan Shu.

The current result is the best for him.

After occupying Tangyi, Liu Bei's army in Xiapi really wanted to intercept his retreat. At worst, Wang Zheng went all the way north and occupied Guangling first. After that, whether he went to attack the East China Sea and forced Guan Yu to return to his aid, or directly returned by detour Langya, there is a lot of room to move around.

It is also a good thing that Zhang Yide escaped, one is that he doesn't have to form a deadly feud with Liu Bei at the current stage, and the other is that he will not be killed.
You can also continue to use the good brother Ji Ling's revenge as a cover, as a banner, and continue to encourage Yuan Jun to open the back passage for him.

Sad soldiers must win, in fact, there is another story, that is, most of them are tragic victories.

Today, Wang Zheng was able to take down the city in one battle, but Wang Zheng has been watching with cold eyes. The attacking party also suffered a lot of casualties. Of course, most of them were Ji Ling's old troops, Yuan Shu's soldiers.

"Go and ask those soldiers, why didn't Zhang Fei show up at the main gate?" Wang Zheng, who was in a good mood, remembered something at this time, and was very curious:

"Could it be that he was stationed on the other three walls?"

"Report to General" not long after, when Gu Jian came to report back, he had a strange expression on his face: "According to those soldiers, that Zhang Sima seemed to have drunk too much because of some celebration."

"When our army attacked the city, he seemed to be still drunk."

It seems like the operation that Zhang Sange can play in the early stage.
Wang Zheng was startled, and almost laughed out loud when he came back to his senses.

Thinking of the original history, Zhang Fei seems to have learned his shame and courage after losing Xuzhou, and then he really broke away from a reckless man and became the fierce general who is not confused about big things. And General.

"It can only be attributed to Huang Tian's blessing." Wang Zheng looked up at the sky, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Thank you very much."

"Even if the thief general is present, it doesn't make any difference." Gu Jian on the side sincerely flattered: "The general's ingenious calculations completely aroused Yuan Jun's heart of revenge, grief and anger, and our heavenly army is a powerful army in the world. How can the two be invincible together?"

"If Zhang Fei hadn't been in trouble because of drunkenness," Wang Zheng shook his head: "When the general first captured the city, I'm afraid it would not have been so easy."

"What's more, although hatred can make people forget their lives, but under the leadership of such a fierce general who is the enemy of thousands of people, the morale of the defenders will also be greatly improved."

"The enemy of ten thousand people?" Seeing that Wang Zheng's tone was full of joy, and his expression was not fake, Gu Jian scratched his head in doubt: "Is this person so powerful?"

"Could it be that the general knew Zhang Fei before?"

"I know." Hearing this, Wang Zheng's eyes seemed to glow with a strange brilliance, and he said with a tone of feeling: "Is there anyone in the Chinese who doesn't know this brave brother?"

A strong body begs for a painful battle, and a hundred troops should not be frightened.

The biggest characteristic of this big guy in his life is his fierceness.

As a city with a long history, although the hall is not too big, the layout of the city is quite neat, especially the backyard of the government office in the city is pleasant.

After the hustle and bustle, when Yan Xiang and others came to join, Wang Zheng was leisurely sitting in a gazebo, watching the faint fragrance of lotus flowers floating by the pool, and the sparse shadows slanting horizontally.

"The governor is quite elegant." After finally opening Guangling's defense line, Yan Xiang looked very excited, and it was rare for him to make a joke.

Glancing at Yan Xiang, seeing that the gloomy look on his face was no longer there, Wang Zheng smiled and asked first, "How is the public opinion in the army?"

Yan Xiang knew what Wang Zheng asked as soon as he heard it, and said bluntly: "Although the Tangyi was broken, Zhang Fei was gone after all. If Ji Ling's great enmity has not been reported, so even under a great victory, among the three armies, there is still Full of fighting spirit."

"This is a good thing." Wang Zheng nodded: "With the name of righteousness and the morale of the army, the chances of victory in the following battles have increased by [-]%."

Zizhi Tongjian said that the righteous soldier is king, and the soldier who responds wins. What's more, if the name is not right, the words will not go well, and if the words don't go well, nothing will happen.

It is said that people are hypocritical animals. This is true, because many things, such as status and morality, although they are false, invisible and intangible, are often more lethal than real swords and guns.

Many people have no morals, but they know the importance of occupying the moral high ground. Many people recognize in their hearts that the strong win, rather than the rational. .

And a politician, a leader, may not agree with these things in his heart, but he has to use them to whitewash his behavior.

Only by occupying the commanding heights of fame and righteousness, and having a famous teacher, can one be as powerful as a rainbow and be invincible.This is why throughout the ages, whenever there is a war, there must be a call.The function of a call to arms is nothing more than elevating oneself and belittling the other party.

But in Dahan, sometimes you don’t even need too much morality and reason.
To avenge relatives and friends is enough to make a name for yourself!
If it was said that Yuan Jun's attack on Guangling was nothing more than Yuan Shu's ambition, it is indeed not justifiable, but now to avenge Ji Ling, it can instantly bring the three armies together.

With such a military spirit, we can talk about war.

"We have already conquered the hall." In fact, when Wang Zheng was here reciting the wind and admiring the flowers, he had already thought about it for a long time, and had a final decision in his mind, but at this time he didn't say it first, but asked Yan Xiang for his opinion. After all, Ji Ling After his death, the chief bookkeeper was actually Yuan Jun's actual leader at this time.

"Sir, what do you think we should do in the future?"

After Tangyi, once the Yu Kingdom behind is breached, Guangling City will be close at hand, so what should I do?
"What the governor means is..." Yan Xiang is so clever that he immediately realized:
"Should we continue to attack Guangling, or should we gather Zhao Xun's remaining troops first, and the two armies will join together to prevent Liu Bei's army from cutting off the rear?"

"That's right." Wang Zheng looked at Yan Xiangyan appreciatively, nodded and said, "Before we broke down the city, we camped in the wild, on the plain, and there was no danger to rely on. If we don't break down the town, drive Zhang Fei away, no matter where we go. After that, there is always the worry of being attacked by the enemy."

"Now that the army's morale has been aroused, the underdogs will surely win, and this crisis will be finally broken. At this time, the right to choose and the initiative have returned to our hands."

"After the news of Zhao Xun's defeat reaches Yangzhou, my lord will send generals to attack Xiapi again." Yan Xiang pondered and said, "We should still focus on Guangling."

"However, it's not wrong to worry about the loss of the rear at this time." Yan Xiang said: "Well, if the general stays here for a few days first, it happens that our army has suffered a lot of losses in this battle, and we should rest first. "

"At the same time, I will personally lead people to collect Xiapi's trilogy. If the general sent by the lord arrives in time, I will deliver most of them to him. I will bring some to Tangyi."

"If we don't catch up, then we can't say, let's concentrate our main force to capture Guangling County first, and then go to support."

"Great kindness." Wang Zheng's eyes twinkled brightly, he clapped his hands and laughed, seeing the green trees outside the hall, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflecting on the cobblestone road, it was full of darkness and harmony.

It should be like this, isn't it also surnamed Yuan after Guangling was captured, so you Yuan army should be the main one.

Of course, Wang Zheng secretly added something in his heart.

Sooner or later, the surname will still be Wang.

The next day, Yan Xiang took a trilogy out of the city.

The days that followed were short but long.

The former is physical time, and the latter is naturally for those Yuan Jun who want to continue fighting.

Among them, some of them are naturally still grateful for Ji Ling's kindness and are determined to avenge him, but most of them, because the battle of Tangyi was fought too smoothly, and the situation is really overwhelming, all of them are very hot and longing for a while. Behead again and make military exploits.

The main reason is that Zhang Fei and the sheriff turned Tangyi into a military place. There are too few people and no women. There is no fun in such a city, even if it is looting. .

Wang Zheng was not idle. While ordering the Heavenly Army to go to the surrounding villages and towns to collect food, supplies, and build subsequent siege equipment, he also arranged for the two armies to merge and take turns to go out of the city to collect Liu Bei's army's movements and intelligence.

During this period, there were a few episodes. First, many messengers from Guangling City wanted to break out of the siege, and went to Donghai and Xiapi to ask for help. Naturally, Wang Zheng arranged for the second-tier cavalry to intercept and kill them all. Later, it seemed that the messengers sent were all lost. , Another group of troops moved from the east, which seems to be the garrison of Guangling City, with the intention of withdrawing to Xiapi and Donghai.

Did Zhang Yide go straight back to the East China Sea?
Seeing this behavior of voluntarily abandoning Guangling, Wang Zheng felt that it was really not his style, but he was surprised, of course he would not allow the situation of the enemy army to merge.

Immediately, an army was dispatched, making a posture of intercepting in the middle, forcing the trilogy to shrink back again.

Just as Wang Zheng was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, he had a wishful thinking in his heart, and when he only brought Yan Xiang back with his men and horses, he directly attacked the city of Guangling County, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened.

On this day, there was an urgent military report from Pengcheng sent by Xu Fang.

Holding the letter in his hand, Wang Zheng had a gloomy expression on his face. He stood in a daze for a long time, and just now he sat down while leaning on a few desks. In the hot weather, he felt as if he had participated in some ice bucket challenge, and was suddenly poured a bucket of ice. water.

"What happened? General." Gu Jian asked with concern.

"Lü Bu is here." Wang Zheng rubbed his brows, waved his hands a little irritably, and read the military newspaper again.

"[-] cavalry came from the west of Pengcheng, and less than [-] of them were cavalry. They were all from Bingzhou, and there were rumors that their leader was General Fenwu. Marquis Wen Lv Bu wanted to go to Xiapi via Pengcheng."

"The last general feared that he would imitate the false ways to attack Guo, and also worried that if he took refuge in Liu Bei, he would later harm the general, so he dared not let him go."

"It's just that Marquis Wen is very famous. Like us, he has an enmity with Cao Cao. Although he won't let him go, he doesn't dare to turn against Cao Cao without authorization. Therefore, he has left his trilogy temporarily stationed in Wu County, pending the general's decision."

Wang Zheng stepped down from the hall, pacing back and forth, walking like the wind.

He was shocked at the beginning, because like Xu Fang, he was worried that Lu Bu would attack Pengcheng, and he was also deeply afraid that he would go to Xiapi and vote for Liu Bei. Then Yuan Shu and his family who were fighting with him at this time were the best voters?

But after careful consideration, the problem is not that serious.

First, even if he is not proficient in the history of the Three Kingdoms, Wang Zheng probably knows that in the original history, not long after Lu Bu came to Xuzhou, he took away Liu Bei's foundation, and Liu Zhoumu, who had just been majestic for a long time, began to live under the fence again.

It seems that Wang Zheng muttered to himself, is it because of Yuan Shu's alienation?
(In the first year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu led an army to attack Xuzhou, and held a stalemate with Liu Bei in Xuyi and Huaiyin. The stalemate lasted for a month, and both sides won and lost each other. Yuan Shu wrote to Lu Bu, promising to send 20 hu of rice to induce him to attack Xiapi. So Lu Bu went eastward by water and land, and when the army arrived forty miles west of Xiapi, Liu Bei's Zhonglang general Xu Dan from Danyang sent Sima Zhangjiao to meet Lu Bu, and revealed to Lu Bu that Zhang Fei was fighting with his father-in-law Cao Bao. There was great chaos in Picheng, and the Danyang soldiers were all waiting for Lu Bu's arrival in Xibaimen City, so Lu Bu marched in a large scale and arrived at the city in the morning. After dawn, the Danyang soldiers opened the city gate, and Lu Bu sat on the city gate, commanding the army to smash Zhang Fei and capture Liu Bei's wives, concubines, children and their family members. At this time, Liu Bei was defeated by Yuan Shu and fled to Haixi. He was hungry and exhausted, and asked Lu Bu to surrender. Lu Bu was annoyed that Yuan Shu would not bring food, so he prepared chariots and horses to meet Liu Bei. Let Liu Bei serve as governor of Yuzhou and send him to garrison Xiaopei. Lu Bu calls himself Xuzhou Mu)
Second, this point is actually more important. In Xuzhou today, there are two talkers.

Brother Consecration, you can also rely on me, I am also the governor of Xuzhou.

But this anti-bone boy is not included in the system, but he dare not keep it.

The key is, how to make him take the initiative to apply for the team?
Wang Zheng hesitated for a while, and suddenly burst out laughing. Now that he can't go back to sit in town, it's too early to think about accepting Lu Bu, isn't it?
Although Lu Bu's heroic image is profound, Liu Bei's threat is obviously still greater.

What's more, as long as he is driven out of Xuzhou, Lu Bu can only rely on him or Yuan Shu, the latter can't control the parachutist, Wang Zheng has this confidence.

Sitting on the case table, writing a pen and pondering for a long time, Wang Zheng directly threw it away. Xu Fang's current response is actually very good.

"Never let it go!" After Ling Messenger brought back the message, Wang Zheng stood up abruptly, and suddenly another tiger came by his side, which made him no longer feel sorry for the loss of his own soldiers, and made a decision.

"Ancient sword!"

"The end is here!"

"Order the three armies, all ready to go, and at the same time send someone to contact Yan Xiang as soon as possible, ordering him to return within three days."

"Regardless of whether he can be on time or not, with or without soldiers and horses, he will leave the country in five days."

"Within ten days." Wang Zheng stood up and turned his head to look around. The shining sun shone on the divine sword on the wall, and there was a faint green light shining from the scabbard.

"The gate of Guangling City is about to be opened!"

He said every word.
