Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 622
Although Zhu Wei planned to use Zhang Xiu's [-] Xiliang iron cavalry as a base to construct his own heavy armored cavalry unit, there were still many problems to face.

Now most of these Xiliang iron cavalry in Zhang Xiujun are also veterans. Many of them are Xiliang soldiers inherited by Zhang Ji from Dong Zhuo back then. Most of them are in their 30s or nearly [-] years old.

Although they should all be veterans with rich experience, they are all a bit old after all, so they can only become cavalry instructors at most in the future, but they will definitely be eliminated from the heavy armored cavalry team built by Zhu Wei in the future.

At the same time, in today's Xiliang iron cavalry, many generals and military lords who lead the army are also Zhang Xiu's uncles. If they really reorganize this Xiliang iron cavalry, many of them must be brushed off.

If they were dissatisfied and made trouble, although Zhang Xiu could persuade them, it would also make Zhang Xiu feel embarrassed, so of course Zhu Wei had to say hello to Zhang Xiu first.

"No! In the end, the Lord's order shall prevail!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed. He knew that this was necessary, otherwise the Xiliang cavalry would still be branded with the Zhang family and would not be able to break away from his private soldier attributes.

"Okay, General Zhang, the battle is still going on, so let's go with the guards to send Yuan Shu off for the last time! Hahaha!"

At this time, Zhu Wei didn't want to talk about the reorganization of the Liangqi camp in detail. Now it's just a vaccination for Zhang Xiu. Anyway, Zhang Xiu's loyalty is still in the 70s, so I don't worry about him having other ideas because of it. .

So Zhu Wei smiled chicly at the end, and called Zhang Xiu to continue to lead the troops to pursue Yuan Shu, and drive Yuan Shu to the ambush in Quyang County, which should be Yuan Shu's final death place.

In this way, Zhu Wei's [-] Baiyu Camp, Zhang Xiu's [-] Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and [-] Hu Rendao Riders, plus about [-] to [-] Liang Cavalry Infantry, set out again to pursue Yuan Shu's army. path of.

At this time, Yuan Shu really accelerated the marching speed a lot.

After Zhu Wei and Cao Cao sent troops to intercept Yuan Shu's army, although Yuan Shu's central army still had many factors that affected their march, under Yuan Shu's forced order, they couldn't help but speed up their pace a bit, and many of them walked. The unhappy eunuchs and maidservants were simply abandoned on the roadside.

Although Yuan Shu is greedy for money, although he is reluctant to part with his harem beauties and heirs and children, he is more concerned about his own safety after all. Now Zhu Wei and Cao Cao's army have chased after him and stabbed his chrysanthemum with a knife. How dare you go slow again.

At the same time, because the rear army's large number of officials and their families were no longer burdened, Yuan Shu also gathered a lot of the troops on both wings responsible for blocking, so that the troops he could send out to block were much thicker.

In this way, Zhu Wei and Cao Cao's pursuing army slowed down their offensive. Anyway, they were just trying to drive Yuan Shu's army to Quyang County.

It's just that Yang Hong, the counselor beside Yuan Shu, seemed to have another idea for Yuan Shu, let Yuan Shu transfer the army of Lu Bu in front of him to stay behind, so that Lu Bu's army can be used as cannon fodder, but Yuan Shu's own army can be preserved.

Now the soldiers and horses of Lu Bu's troops led by Chen Deng have hardly encountered any interception. After highlighting the barracks surrounded by Zhu Wei and Cao Cao, they are marching in a completely relaxed state.

This is equivalent to Yuan Shu's army blocking Zhu Wei and Cao Cao's pursuit for them. There is no distinction between primary and secondary. After Yang Hong pointed out the key point, Yuan Shu naturally felt a little unhappy.

Therefore, under Yang Hong's suggestion, Yuan Shu quickly sent a military order to Chen Deng in front, asking Chen Deng's troops led by Lv Bu to find a suitable place to stop and garrison. After Yuan Shu's army passed by, Lv Bu's army Responsible for blocking Zhu Wei and Cao Cao's pursuing army.

Of course, on the surface, Yuan Shu still used the excuse of asking Lü Bu's army to stop and rest. It was already eight or nine o'clock at night, so asking Lv Bu's army to stop and rest seemed to be taking care of Lv Bu's army.

It's just that Yuan Shu didn't tell Lv Bu's army that Zhu Wei and Cao Cao had a large army chasing them up. After all, it would take a long time for Yuan Shu's nearly [-] to [-] troops to pass through the area where Lv Bu's army was stationed. Okay, it will indeed give Lu Bu's army a good rest.

At the same time, the pursuers of Zhu Wei and Cao Cao were behind Yuan Shu's army. Under the obstruction of Yuan Shu's army, Lu Bu's army running at the forefront did not know what was going on behind them.

In this way, Yuan Shu only told Chen Deng, Cheng Lian, Hao Meng, and Cao Xing the military order to stop Zhu Wei and Cao Cao's army, but asked them to temporarily conceal the truth from ordinary Lu Bu soldiers.

Then after Yuan Shu's army passed by, and after Zhu Wei and Cao Cao's chasing army arrived, Lu Bu's army would naturally become the last soldier, and it was inevitable that Lu Bu's army would not stop it.

Chen Deng, who had already turned to Yuan Shu on the surface, naturally couldn't object, so he could only obey orders and stop Lv Bu's army in a searched place.

However, now Chen Deng is also responsible for leading Yuan Shu's army into an ambush trap in Quyang County. Although Zhu Wei and Cao Cao's army have already ambushed in several places that must pass through from Shouchun to Xuzhou in Quyang County, But where Yuan Shu will go is not completely sure, it would be best if someone leads him into the ambush circle.

Chen Deng was originally responsible for this task, but now if he stayed behind, he would not be sure of Yuan Shu's whereabouts.

Of course, Chen Deng couldn't give up the mission easily, so after he stopped Lu Bu's army to find a place to rest, he took the initiative to find Yuan Shu, hoping to make Yuan Shu change his order.

At this time, Yuan Shu was riding on a gorgeously decorated car.

The carriage of this car looks like a gazebo, with a space of [-] to [-] square meters. Eight good horses are drawn in front. It is like a mobile house, and Yuan Shu can eat and drink comfortably inside.

It's just that such a carriage can't travel very fast, not to mention that Yuan Shu must be able to sit comfortably in the carriage, and the carriage should not be too bumpy.

It can only be said that Yuan Shu himself was the chief culprit for slowing down his marching speed, and various other factors can only be regarded as one of the reasons.

But even though Yuan Shu accelerated his marching speed, he still didn't get out of the chariot and changed horses to ride. He was still wearing the emperor's robe, accompanied by a few beauties in the chariot, and ate and drank under the service of maidservants.

Just occasionally hearing the news from everywhere, Yuan Shu would angrily seek out the people around him to vent his anger, and had already killed several servants and maidservants whom he used as a punching bag.

This made the servants and maidservants who were serving Yuan Shu's side unavoidably a little cautious, for fear that Yuan Shu would catch him if something went wrong, and directly ordered the surrounding soldiers to pull them down and cut them down.

But around Yuan Shu's chariot, there were quite a few of Yuan Shu's close officials, either on horseback or in Yuan Shu's chariot to accompany him. Among them were Yuan Shu's guard general Ji Ling and his confidant Yang Hong.

Chen Deng drove to Yuan Shu's central army, and after passing the inspection of the guards protecting Yuan Shu, he came to Yuan Shu's car. Yuan Shu heard that it was Chen Deng who came, and thinking that Xuzhou still needed Chen Deng's support, he let Chen Deng go. Let's meet by car...
