Three Kingdoms King of the North

The cavalry was going to rush into the city with the rout, but as soon as they reached the suspension bridge, they were blocked by random arrows shot from the city.Zhao Yun was deeply afraid that his subordinates would suffer, so he quickly ordered them to stop the pursuit.

When Zhao Yun and his men retreated an arrow away, another group of troops came out of the city. The leader was a general with two swords, followed by [-] sword and shield fighters and [-] spearmen.

After they quickly formed a formation outside the city, the general came out and shouted at Zhao Yun: "Bohai Colonel Zhang Nan is here, who dares to fight me?"

Zhao Yun didn't talk nonsense to the opponent, and urged the Zhaoye Jade Lion to charge forward, raised the gentian silver spear and swung away the double knives in the opponent's hand, retracted the spear a little, and then stabbed out fiercely, impartially. Leaning on the ground pierced Zhang Nan's throat.As if Zhao Yun held a gun in his hand, Zhang Nan's body jumped up from the horse's back, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.

The soldiers who came out with Zhang Nan were picked off their horses when they saw their captain face to face, and it seemed that they would not survive.Just when everyone was wondering whether they should run away, they heard Zhao Yun shouting loudly: "The one who surrenders will not die!"

The [-] cavalry standing opposite also shouted: "The one who surrenders will not die!"

Hearing the shouts, these soldiers hurriedly threw away the weapons in their hands, knelt down on the ground, and said: "I beg the general to spare my life, I will surrender!"

Chapter 0087 Entering Wu'an

Zhao Yun ignored the surrendered soldiers, waved the spear in his hand, and rushed into the city with the cavalry.What is strange is that not only did the defenders on the city wall stop shooting arrows, but the soldiers in the city, seeing Zhao Yun and the others rushing over, quickly threw away their weapons and knelt down on both sides of the street.

Naturally, it was impossible for Zhao Yun to massacre these soldiers who laid down their weapons, so he could only continue to lead the cavalry and rushed towards the county government along the street.There were more than a dozen cavalrymen at the gate of the county government office, they were the ones who had just joined the battle with Jiao Chu, and they were pointing at the closed gate of the county government office and cursing.Seeing Zhao Yun's cavalry rushing over, they shouted, turned their horses and fled.

Those cavalry were obviously very familiar with the city, and they disappeared into the alleys on both sides of the street after not far away.Zhao Yungao raised the gentian silver gun in his hand, signaling his subordinates to stop chasing.Xia Houlan approached him and asked inexplicably, "Brother Yi, why don't we chase after?"

"Don't chase after poor bandits!" Zhao Yun said briefly: "They are very familiar with the terrain of the city, even if we try to catch up, we can't catch up, so let them go."

Just when Zhao Yun was about to order everyone to dismount and smashed open the gate of the county government office to rush in, the gate suddenly opened, and several officials in black official uniforms and a group of government servants came out from inside.

Seeing a group of cavalry in white helmets and armor outside, everyone couldn't help but stop.The official who took the lead stepped out of the crowd bravely, holding the seal and ribbon in his hands, and came to Zhao Yun, bowing and saluting: "Wu'an County Chancellor, see the general!"

Zhao Yun did not dismount, but asked condescendingly, "Major of Wu'an County, let me ask you, how did Wu Anling die?"

Hearing Zhao Yun's question, the county magistrate knelt down on the ground with a thud, put his head on the ground and said in fear, "Returning to the general, after the county magistrate received a letter from Mr. Han the day before yesterday, he immediately ordered me to wait to raise money and food for the Army use.

Unexpectedly, Hou Hu of Bei Township yesterday sent two school lieutenants, Jiao Chao and Zhang Nan, to lead a hundred cavalry to Wu'an to take over the military power.I don’t know who leaked the news and let them know that the county magistrate is going to welcome Mr. Han, so they led people into the county government office and killed the magistrate and Mr. Han’s messenger.”

Through the narration of the county magistrate, Zhao Yun knew how Wu An Ling and the messenger died, and also figured out the reason why the soldiers in the city abandoned their weapons and surrendered after Jiao Chao and Zhang Nan died. , the rest were all county soldiers from Wu'an County. Seeing that Jiao Chuan and Zhang Nan were dead, they naturally refused to sacrifice their lives for nothing.

Just when Zhao Yun asked the county magistrate about the situation in the city, Han Zhan led the army outside the city. Looking at the soldiers kneeling on the ground, Han Zhan quickly got off his horse and said a few words to comfort them, then remounted and led the army into the city. Wu'an City.

Seeing Han Zhan's arrival, the county magistrate hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to salute, saying: "Wu'an County magistrate sees Mr. Han."

Han Zhan heard that the other party did not call himself Han Shijun, but Mr. Han, so he knew that the county magistrate was Han Fu's former subordinate, so he quickly got off his horse to help him up, and said politely: "The county magistrate does not need to be polite, please hurry up." !"

The county magistrate stood up and said respectfully, "The county office has been tidied up. Please follow me, my lord."

After Han Zhan ordered Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan to recruit and surrender the army, he took Guo Jia, Xun You, Dian Wei and others, and followed the county magistrate into the county government.After taking his seat in the main hall, he couldn't help but curiously asked about the situation in Wu'an City: "Xian Cheng, I want to ask how Wu Anling died?"

The county magistrate who had just sat down heard Han Zhan's question, stood up quickly, and respectfully repeated what he had just said to Zhao Yun.In the end, he sighed and said in a regretful tone: "Jiao Chu and Zhang Nan are cruel and heartless. After killing the envoy and the envoy, they also killed the envoy's family. They are really worse than animals. Fortunately, Han The young master got rid of the two men and avenged Wu An Ling."

Hearing that Wu Anling was killed by Jiaozuo and Zhang Nan because of him, Han Zhan felt extremely guilty.He was silent for a moment, and said to the county magistrate: "Xiancheng, now that the two thieves Jiaochu and Zhangnan have been eliminated, you go and collect the corpses of Wu Anling's family, so that you can have a proper burial."

"This subordinate takes orders." The county magistrate agreed, gave a deep salute, and stepped back out of the main hall.

After the county magistrate left, Han Zhan turned his head and asked Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, it seems that the Yuan family has already got the news of our expedition, so they pre-emptively sent subordinates to take over the military power of the counties along the way, so that our army could not arrive as soon as possible. Jizhou."

Guo Jia gently shook the feather fan in his hand, and said thoughtfully: "Since the Yuan family has sent a school lieutenant to take over the military power in such a remote Wu'an County, he must send more For important generals and more soldiers, go to take over the military power. In this way, we will definitely meet Yuan's men and horses on the way to the east."

"My lord," Guo Jia had just finished speaking, Xun You went on to say, "I will write letters to the prefects and county magistrates of those counties and counties, telling them to beware of the Yuan family, lest they sacrifice their lives in vain."

Regarding Xun You's proposal, Han Zhan nodded: "Okay, Gongda, please write a few letters and send them to the counties and counties along the way quickly, so that those prefects and county magistrates will provide vigilance, so as not to be careless. He was murdered by Yuan Shi."

While Xun You was scribbling, Zhao Yun came in from the outside and bowed his hands to Han Zhan, "I would like to report to the envoy, we have collected 800 troops and captured 85 horses. What should we do?"

"Incorporate them into our army. When we leave Wu'an County, we will draw 1000 people from our original army to defend Wu'an City, so that the Yuan family will not steal our way." After Han Zhan gave the order , and asked with concern: "Zilong, what are the casualties of our army?"

"Reply to the envoy's words," Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The cavalry wounded 11 people and killed two people."

Knowing that there were so few casualties, Han Zhan felt a little surprised. According to his thinking, in the battle just now, there must have been 20 or [-] casualties. In the end, there were no more than [-] people in total.

Seeing Han Zhan's surprised expression, Zhao Yun quickly explained to him: "After Yuan Jun's lieutenant died in battle, the soldiers had no fighting spirit and wanted to flee in a hurry, so the casualties of our army are so insignificant."

When Xun You's letters were finished, Han Zhan ordered Zhao Yun to send the letters to the prefects and county magistrates of the counties along the way, and at the same time told Dian Wei: "We will camp in Wu'an City tonight. The four gates are guarded, beware of the surprise attack sent by the Yuan family."

As soon as Dian Wei waited for Han Zhan to finish speaking, he quickly cupped his hands at him and said, "Please rest assured, Dian Wei will personally lead people to patrol tonight, and make sure that not a single bird can fly into Wu'an City."

Chapter 0088

Silent all night.

After dawn, Han Zhan led the army to set off again.

On the way, Han Zhan couldn't help asking Zhao Yun: "Zilong, the next city we are going to is Tantai. I wonder if it has been occupied by Yuan's subordinates."

"Master, don't worry." Seeing Han Zhan's worried expression, Zhao Yun quickly comforted him and said, "Except for Yan Liangchou, the rest of Yuan's generals are nothing to worry about."

"Captain Zhao is right." As soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, Xun You interjected, "Now that Gongsun Zan's troops are approaching Jieqiao, Yuan will certainly lead the army to meet the enemy. Naturally, Yan Liang and Chou will join him. Come on, the people sent to deal with our army are ordinary generals, Zhao Xianwei, Dian Junhou, and Xiahou are more than enough to deal with them."

Xun You's words made Han Zhan feel more at ease.He turned his head and glanced at Guo Jia who was following behind, and asked with a smile: "Feng Xiao, what are you thinking, why do you look so gloomy?"

Guo Jia urged the horse to come over, and asked Han Zhan in a low voice: "Returning to the envoy, Jia has been thinking about one thing, as if we have all neglected it."

"What's the matter?" Han Zhan asked puzzled.

"Dare to ask the envoy," Guo Jia cupped his hands towards Han Zhan, and asked, "I don't know if you sent someone to warn Geng Changshi and the others?"

Guo Jia's words immediately shocked Han Zhan into a cold sweat.He hurriedly turned his head and asked Xun You: "Cousin Gongda, among the messengers you sent yesterday, did any of them send a letter to Geng Changshi?"

Xun You shook his head and said, "Returning to the envoy, no. I thought you had already sent someone to inform Geng Changshi, so I didn't do anything more."

"Oops, Geng Changshi is in danger!" Hearing what Xun You said, Han Zhan hit his palm with his fist anxiously: "Cousin Gongda, please write a letter to Geng Changshi immediately and order him to rush to Jizhou to see him Geng Changshi, let him and Master Min take refuge outside for a while, and wait patiently for our army to arrive."

Xun You promised, immediately turned the horse's head, called his entourage on the side of the road, took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began nervously writing a warning letter to Geng Wu Minchun.

Seeing the messenger on horseback disappear from his field of vision, Han Zhan said with lingering fear, "I hope the letter we sent will reach Geng Changshi in time."

After noon, Han Zhan's army finally arrived near Tantai City. From a distance, he saw an army outside the city forming a formation.Han Zhan quickly raised his hand to signal the army to stop. He looked around and said to everyone, "Yuan Jun has been prepared for a long time. It seems that there will be a hard battle today."

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Dian Wei, who had done nothing yesterday, said hastily, "I'll kill General Yuan Jun and kill these soldiers."

"Dian Wei, don't be reckless." After Zhao Yun stopped him in time, he began to line up his troops.The cavalry is in the center, and the infantry is on the left and right wings.After the formation was completed, the army slowly pushed towards Yuan Jun who was waiting in the formation.

Seeing Han Zhan's army forming a decisive battle formation and pushing towards him, General Yuan Jun also waved the sword in his hand to signal the phalanx to move forward.

The two sides stopped at a stone's throw away.Han Zhan looked around and asked loudly, "Who wants to take the lead?"

Before Zhao Yun could speak, Dian Wei rushed out waving his halberds.He came to the front of the formation and shouted loudly at the opponent: "Chen Liudianwei is here, who dares to fight to the death with me?"

A military marquis holding a spear rushed out from Yuan's army, came to the front of the formation, pointed at Dian Wei, and said in a mocking tone: "Who am I? , You dare to go to the front of the army to call for battle. No one will die under my gun, you should go back quickly and find your master to come out and die."

Yuan Junjunhou's words caused a burst of laughter from behind.When Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan and others heard the other party insulting Dian Wei, their faces showed anger.But Han Zhan was snickering in his heart, making fun of Yuan Jun's military marquis for daring to provoke Dian Wei. He really didn't know how the word "death" was written.
