Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

After a while, when Cai Mao and Guo Jia had roughly discussed the matter of dispatching troops after dawn, Cai Mao invited Li Yi and said, "My lord, now that all the major events have been arranged, why don't you go into the city and see him?" Officials, calm down the hearts of the people, and take a break by the way?"

Li Yi knew Cai Hao's intentions were good, but he still shook his head and said, "No, now the army is still fighting at the front line, I can't take the lead, I am already very ashamed, if I go back to rest in the city, how will I face the victorious soldiers?"

"And those officials also need to think about it, so I'm not in a hurry to go to the city, but give them some time."

"However, the hearts of the people really need to be stable. In this way, at dawn, in addition to arranging soldiers and horses to go out of the city, you can arrange some more people, walk around the streets, and announce to the people loudly, just say that Yuan Shu's 30, no, [-] troops have already arrived. I was defeated by less than [-] troops, beheaded Zhang Xun, the leader of the Yangzhou Army, and the deputy vanguard, Yuan Shu, only escaped with his own body. Stop, make sure everyone in the city knows about it!"

"Here!"

Cai Mao responded immediately. In fact, he had already started to do this after he learned that Li Yi had broken Yuan Shu's camp. Now the officials in the city knew about it, but Cai Mao's purpose was to reassure the officials in the city and prevent them from protesting against him. Surrounded Liu Biao.

But after listening to Li Yi's explanation, Cai Mao felt suddenly enlightened. He suddenly understood why Li Yi's reputation among the common people was so good.

Moreover, Cai Mao can imagine that, judging from the state of panic in Xiangyang City during this period, if the news spreads that Li Yi wins at this time, and the news spreads that he wins more with less, the people of Xiangyang will definitely regard Li Yi as a reborn parent and treat him Thank you Dade, even if Liu Biao wants not to give up the position of state shepherd, not to mention other people, first of all the people will not agree.

Cai Hao was admiring in his heart, but Li Yi added: "By the way, not only Xiangyang, Nanyang, Nanjun, but also those counties in Jiangxia that have not yet fallen under Yuan Shu's control should be announced, and many counties in Jingnan must also send people Propaganda in the past, and must spread the news in the fastest time."

"Please rest assured, my lord!"

Cai Mao agreed, and already had an inclination in his heart. The focus of this publicity was to think about Xiangyang and Jingnan, and Li Yi began to pave the way for the future march into Jingnan.

After explaining the matter, Li Yi walked up to Xun You, took his hand, and said apologetically: "The military is busy, and I have neglected Mr., please don't take offense. When the war is over, I will hold a banquet in person to apologize for Mr. How are you?"

"How dare you, how dare you."

Xun You was still wondering why Li Yi was so enthusiastic about him. Seeing that Li Yi said that he would make amends to him, he hurriedly said politely: "The Marquis of Xiang is serious, and the war is important. You are already very disturbed to delay the time of Marquis Xiang. How dare you give him any more money?" Xiang Hou Tim trouble starting

"Get it, get it."

Li Yi patted Xun You's hand, and said to Cai Mao: "Brother, sir, I will leave it to you for now. When I return with the army, I will definitely be with my brother, sir, until I get drunk!"

After Li Yi bid farewell to Cai Mao, he led a team of about a thousand people to chase Zhang Liao. However, Li Yi didn't know that his trip was destined to be in vain

In the early morning, the sky was just getting bright, and Dongfang hadn't yet flushed. Yuan Shu was lying on the horse's back, his hair was disheveled, his face was jet black, and his clothes were tattered. Wet a large area, the whole person looks like a refugee, or the kind who just crossed the mountains and mountains, as miserable as it is, and has no demeanor of the old nobleman at all.

This is true of Yuan Shu, not to mention the people around him.

When he just left the camp, Yuan Shu's main civil and military personnel followed him, and more than 2000 soldiers gathered one after another, which can be regarded as having the power to protect himself.

However, there were so many people and the goal was big, so Yuan Shu was soon followed by Zhang Liao. Although Yuan Shu had more people than Zhang Liao, the soldiers on Yuan Shu's side lost their courage. After the first battle, Yuan Shu's team was reduced by half. But Zhang Liao became more and more courageous as he fought, like a mad dog on drugs, biting Yuan Shu relentlessly.

Chapter 411 Capture Ji Ling Alive

Yuan Shu couldn't remember how many times Zhang Liao followed him and "bited" him all night. Yuan Shu only knew that Yan Xiang, Li Feng, Lei Bo, Chen Lan and others who were by his side were all chased by Zhang Liao. Lost.

And just last time, when the sky was not completely bright, Yuan Shu was caught up again by Zhang Liao, a lunatic. As a last resort, the general Han Hao led dozens of soldiers to buy time for Yuan Shu. Han Hao's scream

Today, Yuan Shu has changed from being surrounded by thousands of people a day ago, to an embarrassing situation where there are less than a hundred soldiers, and only Yang Hong and Ji Ling are left as civil servants and military officials.

Yuan Shu crouched on the horse's back, heard the sound of water nearby, reluctantly raised his head, and asked, "Yongyi, where are you?"

There were only two horses left in Yuan Shu's group, and they were Yuan Shu and Yang Hong riding respectively. Ji Ling was only on foot. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked around for a while, and looked back at Yang Hong. Yang Hong shook his head helplessly. Ji Ling could only say in shame: "My lord, I ran too fast last night. I didn't have time to discern the direction at that time. I don't even know the location of this place."

Yuan Shu supported the horse's back with both hands and sat up. Ji Ling hurriedly stretched out his hands to support him. Yuan Shu waved his hands to signal that he was okay, then listened carefully, and asked, "Can you hear the sound of water in front of you?"

Because Ji Ling was too tired, his perception dropped a lot, but Yang Hong nodded behind and said: "Master, there is indeed the sound of water in front, and the movement is not small, like a river."

Seeing that Yuan Shu's lips were a little white and his skin was dry, Ji Ling thought he was thirsty, and said, "My lord, wait a moment, I'll go get some water for my lord."

Although Yuan Shu was so angry that he vomited blood last night, and now he is physically and mentally exhausted, but his mind is still clear, his face changed suddenly, and he said: "No, there is a river ahead, if Zhang Liao chases after him again, why don't we wait?" No way out?"

As soon as Yuan Shu's words came out, Ji Ling and Yang Hong's expressions changed, and those soldiers who were still with Yuan Shu were ashamed in every way.

Seeing that the last bit of morale of the army was about to lose, Yang Hong hurriedly said: "My lord, if there are rivers, there are probably boats. As long as we find boats to cross the river, the river will stop Zhang Liao from pursuing his troops, and there will be no more danger after that. "

Ordinary soldiers didn't think much in their minds, and when they heard Yang Hong say that, they immediately looked hopeful, but the expressions of Yuan Shu and Ji Ling didn't change much.

They all know that it is not easy to find a boat except for the wharf, it is purely luck, not to mention that Jingzhou is still fighting, the people are either hiding in the mountains or entering the city early, the boats are It is even more difficult for them to find it if it is hidden.

Yuan Shu's face was full of sadness. He felt very bad, but the situation was like this, and there was no way out, so he could only say, "Go ahead, rest at the riverside, and then walk along the river to find a way out."

Ji Ling wanted to say that it was not suitable to rest at this time, but seeing the exhausted appearance of all the soldiers, he finally did not refute.

Not long after, Yuan Shu and his party arrived at the river, and saw that the river was about seven or eight feet wide, which is not considered a big river, but the water flow was relatively fast, and the naked eye could not tell the depth of it, so it was obvious that it could not be passed directly.

As for the boat, Ji Ling climbed onto a big tree and looked around, but he couldn't even see the road, let alone the boat.

Seeing that Yuan Shu was about to despair, Yang Hong had an idea and thought of a way.

Yang Hong said that the soldiers can untie their clothes, twist them into knots, and then let them swim to the opposite side with good water skills, tie the knots on the river surface, and let everyone pass along the ropes.

Doing this is still relatively dangerous, and Yuan Shu would definitely not have considered it in the past, but in the current situation, it can be called a clever plan.

Everyone did what they thought, anyway, they were all old men, so there was no embarrassment. They quickly made the rope and asked two soldiers with good water skills to bring it over and tie it to the big tree. To be on the safe side, Yang Hong He asked two landlubbers to cross the river first along the rope, and after making sure that there was no problem, Yang Hong asked Yuan Shu to cross the river.

Regarding Yuan Shu's safety, Yang Hong was very considerate. He made a loop with several belts to connect Yuan Shu with the rope, and arranged two good water-proof ones to protect him, one in front of the other, to avoid accidents.

After everything was ready, Yuan Shu looked at the torrential river, but felt a little embarrassed, but at this moment, in the direction they came, someone suddenly shouted: "General, there is a Yangzhou army here, and there seems to be a general! "

Hearing this voice, Yuan Shu and his party suddenly became overwhelmed. Ji Ling didn't care about anything else, and pushed Yuan Shu into the river, shouting as he pushed, "Go, my lord, I'm here to meet the enemy!"

Yuan Shu wanted to say something to Ji Ling, but he choked on a mouthful of water and blocked his words directly.

Ji Ling couldn't care about Yuan Shu anymore, so he took a few quick steps and looked towards the way he came. Sure enough, he saw that goddamn Zhang Liao chasing him again. Although there were many bushes covering him, he couldn't see the number of Zhang Liao's soldiers clearly for a while. But Ji Ling initially estimated that there were at least 300 people on the other side.

Ji Ling looked back at Yuan Shu who was struggling to swim, and said to Yang Hong: "Sir, let's go too, Ji can only delay as much as possible!"

After all, without waiting for Yang Hong to answer, Ji Ling shouted loudly: "Soldiers, Your Majesty treats me like a confidant and never treats me badly, and now is the day for me to repay Your Majesty's kindness, even if I can't save it , but as long as the lord returns to Yangzhou, the lord will definitely avenge us, and you, my wife and children will also be taken care of by the lord, and they will have no worries about their livelihoods in the future, so, soldiers, form an army!"

When Zhang Liao's scouts showed up just now, the soldiers on Yuan Shu's side really panicked. Some people even wanted to grab the ropes to cross the river, but Ji Ling reacted quickly enough and pushed Yuan Shu down directly. These words really boosted morale to a certain extent, allowing these remnants to form an array in a short period of time, blocking the front of the rope.

In fact, these soldiers are also pitiful. Although Ji Ling said very well, in fact, Yuan Shu knew which general they belonged to, let alone their names. In this way, even if Yuan Shu wanted to, he couldn't do it. Take care of their families.

At this time, Zhang Liao had already brought people to Ji Ling and the others. The distance between the two sides was only a few feet. Ji Ling ignored the old shoulder injury and held the long knife tightly, wishing to go up and kill Zhang Liao immediately, but he didn't really move because he stayed behind. The purpose is to buy time for Yuan Shu to cross the river. If Zhang Liao's men find a gap and cut off the rope if he rushes up, it will be terrible.

Even though Zhang Liao was a "hunter" after a night of hunting, he was actually in a state of embarrassment, not much better than Yuan Shu and the others, but Zhang Liao's spirit was very good, especially after seeing Yuan Shu floating in the river, he laughed out loud With a cry, he shouted: "The bow and arrow are ready!"

With an order, more than 30 bows were opened immediately, and Ji Ling's face turned pale when he saw this. It wasn't that he was afraid of these bows and arrows, but that he saw the angles of these archers' bows, obviously rushing towards Yuan Shu in the river. .

"Zhang Liao, dare you!"

Ji Ling shouted angrily, took two steps forward with the knife in hand, but stopped soon, he really didn't dare to approach, because as long as the archers on the opposite side moved their fingers, Yuan Shu's life would depend on God's will.

Zhang Liao looked at Ji Ling, with a flash of heat in his eyes.
