Three Kingdoms Eschatology

Feng Yu said with a smile: "Of course I know Sun Jian's intentions, but I still have to go through this Hongmen banquet. Because Zhang Zi can't die."

After listening, Xun You pondered for a while, then nodded to Feng Yu and said, "You understand what my lord means."

If Zhang Zi's Wancheng is occupied by Yuan Shu or Sun Ce, although it cannot be said to pose a fatal threat to Zhuyang, it will also make Feng Yu feel like a thorn in his back.What's more, there are more than 5000 people there, which is not a small amount of human resources. There is no reason to let the foreign forces in Nanyang get it for nothing.

Zhuyang is nearly 170 miles away from Wancheng.If we try to persuade Zhang Zi not to go to the meeting now, it will be too late for the messenger not to dismount.So the only way now is for Feng Yu to take the initiative to stop this possible conspiracy.

……

Zhang Zi received the same invitation earlier.He thought for a long time and did not reply to the messenger.Although he hadn't discovered any hostility towards Sun Jian, he had never had any friendship with Sun Jian either.What is even more worrying is that Sun Jian just cheated and killed Wang Rui, who had a friendship with Sun Jian.

In the end, Zhang Zi replied to the messenger that he would attend the appointment as scheduled.

It was Yuan Shu who prompted Zhang Zi to make this risky decision.He knew that Sun Jian was invited to Nanyang by Yuan Shu, so he had some expectations, wondering if Sun Jian would help him say a few good words in front of Yuan Shu for the sake of ten thousand hu grains and grass.

In addition, there is another reason that the meeting place is not in Sun Jianjun's Xinye camp, but in Rangcheng.Zhang Zi believes that as long as he brings elite soldiers and does a good job of reconnaissance inside and outside Rangcheng, his safety should be basically guaranteed.

It took Zhang Zi a long time to select another [-] soldiers and [-] elite scouts from the soldiers in Wancheng. He took a few carts to return gifts for Sun Jian, and set off for Rangcheng.

Rangcheng is between Wancheng and Zhuyang, more than 70 miles away from Wancheng, and [-] miles away from Zhuyang.

When the sun was still three poles above the horizon, Zhang Zi had already seen the abandoned city wall of Rang City.It's just that he didn't know what was waiting for him in the temporary camp next to Rang City.

Chapter 067

Zhang Zi and his party stopped and waited at a hidden place ten miles away from Rangcheng.Long before he arrived, his scouts arrived one step ahead and began to scout inside and outside Rang City.

More than half an hour later, his scouts came one after another to report to him that there was no trace of soldiers from other brigades except for the [-] soldiers brought by Sun Jian within a radius of ten miles outside Rangcheng.The dilapidated houses and tiles in the city were carefully inspected one by one, and no trace of human activities was found.

"Are you sure there is nothing wrong with every room in the abandoned city?" Zhang Zi still asked worriedly.The abandoned city of Rangcheng is too easy to hide soldiers.

A general replied confidently: "Report to the prefect, the sons and daughters have searched carefully. Not only is there no one there, but also no one has been in this city for at least a year and a half."

"What about the city wall? Don't overlook this."

"Please don't worry, the prefect. Before we entered the city to search, we searched all four sides of the city walls!"

Only then did Zhang Zi feel relieved, nodded and said: "Then your scouts should spread out now, and patrol the key points of the road within ten miles around here. Once you find a large group of soldiers and horses attacking from the outside , notify me immediately."

After the hundreds of scouts dispersed to guard the surrounding area again, Zhang Zi led a large number of soldiers and guards to the newly built small camp.

Except for a few large tents that were temporarily set up in that camp, the rest was empty space, and Sun Jian's two hundred soldiers stood outside the large tent.There are Tibetan soldiers in those big tents, and no matter how hard they hide, they can't hide many people.

Sun Jian personally greeted Zhang Zi in front of the camp gate. This was the first time the two met, and some polite greetings were inevitable.Although Zhang Zi could feel the oppression brought by Sun Jian's domineering spirit, he still didn't notice any hostility or murderous intent from him.

Zhang Ziling's two hundred soldiers also stood outside the tent facing Sun Jian, and then followed Sun Jian into the big tent.Five or six bodyguards followed closely behind him.

Sun Jian didn't seem to care about it.After entering the big tent, Zhang Zi discovered that there were no guards of Sun Jian in the tent.Fang felt that he was being too cautious, so he smiled embarrassedly at Sun Jian.

After the two of them sat down on the felt, servants brought melon and fruit tea soup, waiting for the formal start of the banquet.Zhang Zi wanted to get acquainted with Sun Jian as soon as possible, and kept looking for topics to talk to Sun Jian.Unexpectedly, Sun Jian talked to Zhang Zi one after another, seemingly not taking him seriously.

In fact, Sun Jian was anxiously waiting for a person right now, Feng Yu, Marquis of Zhuyang.If Feng Yu doesn't come today, then his plan is only half successful.

At this time, I only heard a voice from outside singing: "Marquis of Zhuyang County, General Fenwei has arrived!" Sun Jian was overjoyed, and said to himself: "The whole Nanyang is in my hands".Zhang Zi, who was already feeling uncomfortable beside him, was equally delighted.Because he felt that Feng Yu came, he was safer, and he would not be so embarrassed.

Only a hundred personal scouts followed Feng Yu into the camp, and Xu Rong also came with him.Similarly, these soldiers of his Chen Bing stood on the same side as Zhang Zi's soldiers in the open space in the camp.At this time, in this small camp, the open space was fully occupied.

Zhang Zi and Sun Jian came out of the big tent to welcome Feng Yu, and the three sat down.Sun Jian clapped his hands, and the servants began to serve wine and food, and some singers sang and danced to add to the fun.

When the banquet started, Feng Yu proudly replaced the cups and chopsticks with his own silver cups and chopsticks.And Zhang Zi used a hidden silver needle to test the poison of the dishes and drinks one by one.

After drinking for three rounds, Sun Jian still didn't talk much, even toasting toasts was rare, unless Feng Yu or Zhang Zi took the initiative to toast to him, otherwise he would just drink and eat on his own.There was quite a lot of conversation between Feng Yu and Zhang Zi, and they continued to toast and exchange glasses.

Feng Yu suddenly said loudly to Sun Jian who was drinking by himself: "Didn't the prefect Sun summon us here to discuss Dong's plan? Why are there only banquets, singing and dancing at this time, but no discussion on this matter?"

A strange smile appeared on Sun Jian's face, he pushed the singer away, then put down his glass and said slowly: "I want to wait until Junhou and Zhang Taishou are full to eat and drink before discussing this matter, because I don't want you to be a joke on Huangquan Road. Hungry ghost!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zi's face turned pale.With trembling lips, he said, "Mrs. Sun...Sun Jian, what do you mean by that... It's simply, it's extremely rude!"

Feng Yu next to him was still eating and drinking in a leisurely manner.After chewing and swallowing a piece of preserved deer, he asked just now: "Oh, Taishou Sun said so, I would like to hear more about it." After speaking, he picked up his wine glass and took another sip of wine.

Sun Jian was surprised by Feng Yu's composure.He clapped his hands, and a man dressed as an official came in from outside the tent, and said to Zhang Zi and Feng Yu, "Let's be in charge of the government affairs in Nanyang and Zhuyang. But today, I am asking for the rebel army to pass here. The roads are not repaired, and the food and grass are not available. What crime is this?"

Under the sudden change, Zhang Zi was dumbfounded, but Feng Yu was still drinking and eating.Before they could respond, Sun Jian said, "This is the punishment of the righteous soldiers, and the bandits are punished from time to time. They should be beheaded!"

At this time, Feng Yu suddenly asked the official loudly: "Who are you?" Neither Sun Jian nor the official thought that Feng Yu would ask such an innocuous question at this time.Under the oppression of Feng Yu, the official responded unconsciously: "I am the master of Changsha..."

Before he could finish a single word, a white light flashed, and the head of the chief secretary of Changsha fell to the ground.Feng Yu had already jumped in front of him, with blood dripping from the saber in his hand.

"You, a Changsha master, intervened in the affairs of other counties, and blamed the prefect and general Fenwei of other counties. This is the crime of rebellion, and you should be beheaded!" Feng Yu finished speaking, and the headless body of the master was like a wooden stake. fell to the ground.

It was only at this time that Sun Jian realized that Feng Yu had exceeded his expectations, but after all, he was mentally prepared for Feng Yu's reaction, and he was not stunned and at a loss like Zhang Zi.Sun Jian pulled out his sword with a swipe, and first protected himself.

At this moment, Zhang Zi came to his senses, pointed at Sun Jian with trembling hands and said, "Take down this traitor!" Without his words, the guards behind him had drawn their swords out of their sheaths, and now they all rushed towards Sun Jian go.

Sun Jian laughed wildly, pierced the chest of the person in front with his sword, then quickly retreated, and the person suddenly disappeared from the tent.It turned out that the curtain had been slit in advance, so people could get out of the big tent once they got through.

Almost at the same time, Feng Yu also grabbed Zhang Zi's arm with one hand, cut through the tent with his sword with the other hand, and dragged Zhang Zi out of the tent.In front of the big tent, the soldiers on both sides of the tent had already discovered the change in the tent, they were clamoring and roaring, each with their weapons facing each other.

Sun Jian's army had been prepared for a long time. After confirming that Sun Jian had withdrawn safely, more than [-] crossbowmen under the command of Cheng Pu shot random arrows into the tent.Zhang Zi's personal guards who were about to exit from the main entrance of the big tent were suddenly shot into hedgehogs by random arrows, and fell to the ground screaming.

After a few breaths, Sun Jian, Feng Yu, and Zhang Zi appeared in their own army formation.The soldiers on both sides of the confrontation are already at their swords and swords, and they only wait for the order of their respective protagonists to start fighting.

A loud arrow soared into the sky, and the scream echoed in the night sky for a long time.Sun Jian laughed wildly and said: "Feng Yu, you are really a hero, you are not surprised at all. I also know that you brought more than a hundred people here today, but unfortunately it is useless. Since I set up this game, I will not let you wait. Get away."

Chapter 068 Ambush

At this moment, the night had fallen, and the soldiers of Zhuyang Army, Nanyang Army and Sun Jian Army all lit torches.Brightly illuminate the scene.

Standing behind Feng Yu, Zhang Zi had completely recovered from the panic and calmed down.As soon as Sun Jian finished speaking, he flashed out from behind Feng Yu and said with a sneer:

"Sun Jian, don't be self-righteous. Here, our troops are much larger than yours. Some people have set up secret sentries and rangers around. If you have outside troops approaching in advance, they will have notified the county guard. You are now It's too late to let the scouts send the arrows to inform the surrounding troops to come to support them. Somebody advises you to tie your hands, and maybe you can reduce your guilt!"

Sun Jian sneered a few times and said, "Is this general as stupid as you? Who told you that this loud arrow is used to notify the troops in the distance?"

Zhang Zi said in amazement: "There is no other brigade within a radius of ten miles. Someone has sent people to investigate repeatedly before!"

Sun Jian stopped talking, and continued to maintain a strange smile on his face.Feng Yu said: "It is true that he has more than a thousand soldiers ambushing nearby, but they have been blocked by a certain soldier now. Let's stop talking nonsense with him and let him delay the time. Take him down quickly. All the officers and men listened to the order, attacked and killed the enemy army, captured and killed the enemy chieftain."

Sun Jian heard Feng Yu's words, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace, and he shouted in shock: "How do you know, what is it sealed?...".

It was too late for Sun Jian to say the rest, the three hundred soldiers from the two armies of the opposing side had already brandished their weapons and charged towards his own side.The soldiers of the two sides fought in a scuffle in an instant, the sound of shouts for killing and the sound of swords clashing quickly intertwined.

Although the overall strength of Zhang Zi's Nanyang army is far from that of the other two armies.However, there is not much difference in individual combat power between elites and elites.These soldiers selected by Zhang Zi are the elite one in a hundred.Therefore, the decision to win or lose this brawl-style battle depends on the number of soldiers. At this time, the ratio of troops between the two sides is three to two.

A Nanyang soldier was cut half of the neck by a soldier of Sun Jian's army, but the latter was immediately pierced through the chest by another Nanyang soldier with a spear.The scout of the Zhuyang Army used his shield to withstand the incoming knife with his left hand, and the steel knife with the head of the head pierced into the head of Sun Jian's soldier with his right hand, but was shot through the black iron armor on his body and died on the spot.

Soldiers on both sides were bloody, and the scene was full of blood and rain.General Cheng Pu under Sun Jian's command beheaded the two of them, but was stopped by Xu Rong, and the two of them fought together.Sun Jian was also entangled by Feng Yu who was rushing up, unable to escape, so he swung his sword and fought against Feng Yu who was holding a big gun.

Seeing the unfavorable situation of the battle, Sun Jian shouted loudly: "If you insist on resting for a while, our ambush is coming soon!" He tried to stabilize his own people's hearts and morale.

When the soldiers of Sun Jian's army heard this, their morale was immediately boosted, and they fought harder and harder, finally stabilizing the precarious situation.But after a while, the ambush Sun Jian expected did not arrive as expected, and his heart sank immediately.

After another half a moment, the outnumbered Sun Jian's army suffered heavy casualties and was once again defeated.Sun Jian was flustered and was thrown to the ground by Feng Yu with a gun.

On the other side, Cheng Pu was also stabbed in the thigh by Xu Rong, and fell to the ground with an oops.Some Sun Jian soldiers have begun to tear down the fence of the camp and fled outside...

After the war, the number of people was counted, and in just a few moments of fighting, more than 180 people were killed and more than [-] were injured on both sides.Among them, the hundreds of scouts brought by Feng Yu had more than [-] casualties, and Sun Jian's army suffered heavy casualties. Only about [-] people fled in the night in a panic.

Sun Jian and Cheng Pu were tied up and brought before Feng Yu and Zhang Zi.They also pretended to be proud, twisted their necks, and glared at Feng Yu.He had been kicked by Xu Rong alone behind them until he knelt down in the crook of his legs.

Feng Yu asked calmly: "Sun Jian, what else do you have to say?"

Sun Jian laughed and said: "There is nothing to say, the winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. If you lose, you will accept your fate. If you want to kill or cook as you please. It's just that there is something that I don't understand. I hope you can tell me, Let someone die understand."

"please say."

"First, how did you discover the ambush set up by a certain soldier? They are all Jingnan Changsha soldiers who are proficient in concealment in the wild. Second, our army scouts have been monitoring your movements near Zhuyang. You haven't arrived yet, So-and-so knew that you only brought three hundred soldiers out of the city. One hundred of them were brought into the camp by you, and there was absolutely no way that those two hundred could trap so-and-so's ambush of more than a thousand soldiers. How did you do it?"

In fact, Sun Jian not only monitored Zhuyang but also Wancheng. If Feng Yu and Zhang Zi violated the agreement and came with a large force, then he would act according to another plan.

After hearing Sun Jian's words, Zhang Zi suddenly realized that he sent scouts to repeatedly search the abandoned city where soldiers could hide most easily, but he didn't pay special attention to the surrounding wilderness.

But he still doesn't understand that this area is a flat plain.Even if the vegetation was lush, even if he didn't pay special attention to it, it was impossible for Sun Jian to hide more than a thousand soldiers without showing any flaws, so that the scouts who rode horses shuttled among them could not find it.

In fact, Sun Jian had a special force composed of soldiers from Changsha, who were very good at hiding and ambush in the wild.They dug tunnels in the wilderness that could accommodate human bodies, covered them with their special bamboo shields, and camouflaged them with vegetation.

It is difficult for ordinary people to spot these ambushes within a distance of five feet, let alone the scouts who hurried past on horseback in the wilderness.Unless you just step on it.But Feng Yu's scouts are equipped with mountain dogs, and he has the blessing of the system, so it is not difficult to find these ambushes.

Naturally, Feng Yu would not tell Sun Jian about this. He chuckled and said, "How did you find out? This is our army's secret, so I won't tell you. But how to stop these ambush soldiers, get up and look over there." Just know."

Sun Jian turned around to look, suddenly realized, stomped his feet and bowed his head, sighing.About two hundred battles away, the flames were soaring into the sky, and the fate of those ambush soldiers can be imagined.

No, Feng Yu said: "Your soldiers were not burned to death, someone just trapped them with fire, and then captured them."

Feng Yu came out this time, not only with three hundred elite soldiers, but also thirty carts of good wine.These wines are not only drinkable, but also used as fuel.Although Feng Yu didn't know where Sun Jian would ambush his soldiers when he came out, he was sure that the spirits would play a role.

In the end, the spirits ignited a big fire, and the wilderness burned blazingly, forming a wall of fire that surrounded Sun Jian's ambush, leaving only one exit...

At this time, Zhuyang soldiers escorted a large number of Sun Jian's troops who were tied together and marched over.

In the distance, a fast horse is also galloping towards this side. The soldier on the horse is Zhang Zi's scout. He was slightly taken aback by the scene, but immediately jumped off the horse and galloped to Zhang Zi. Reported: "Report to the prefect, a large number of Sun Jun are coming here."

Chapter 069

Seeing that Zhang Zi's face turned pale again, Feng Yu comforted him: "Prefect Zhang, don't worry, there is a follow-up arrangement, and the Zhuyang Army also has follow-up troops coming. What's more, Sun Jian is already in our hands, and the other party dare not What will happen to us."

Zhang Zi felt relieved after hearing Feng Yu's words.Nearly [-] Nanyang Zhuyang soldiers escorted the prisoners of war, and under the leadership of Feng Yu and Xu Rong, they left Rangcheng and headed towards Zhuyang.After walking for less than five miles, I saw a billowing fire dragon appearing from the side and behind, and the sound of countless marching horses, chasing here.

Feng Yu shouted: "Set up the formation!" Nearly [-] soldiers immediately formed a circular formation, with Feng Yu, Zhang Zi, Sun Ce and Cheng Pu guarding the center.The more than a thousand Sun Jun captives were placed on the outermost layer as human shields.

Just after finishing these, the "Fire Dragon" has already chased after him.Countless torches flickered in the night sky, scattered to both sides of Feng Yu and the others, and then closed again, surrounding them.

Sun Jian's army was cautious and did not dare to act rashly.A gap suddenly opened in their army formation, several riders rode out from the formation, and a young general was in the middle.Feng Yu on the left recognized Huang Gai.

The young general rode his horse and stopped between the two armies, pointed his gun at Feng Yu's side, and said eagerly: "Release my father quickly, and I will let you live, or you will be wiped out here. .”

Feng Yu laughed and said, "You are the son of Sun Jian, Sun Ce, right? Are you so anxious to do this because you wish your father would die sooner?"

When Sun Ce heard this, his seven orifices were filled with smoke, but Feng Yu stabbed him into a weak spot.Not to mention that he couldn't be ruthless, even if he was ruthless in disregarding Sun Jian's safety, he would not dare to attack and kill the group of enemies in front of him.An unfilial hat can be put off so that he can't lift his head up for the rest of his life.

Sun CE, who was at a loss what to do, took the reins of his mount and anxiously circled on the spot.Huang Gai next to him was also anxiously gearing up, but he could only do it in a hurry.

Feng Yujun suddenly shot a sharp arrow with strong arrows, and the screams of Sun Jun's soldiers after being hit by the arrow continued to be heard.Some of Sun Jun's crossbowmen hurriedly drew their bows and fired arrows at Feng Yu's circle. Sun Ce said angrily, "Whoever ordered you to shoot arrows casually! Pass my military order, and anyone who shoots arrows without orders will be punished on the spot!"

Under the scouts of Feng Yujun's scouts, the soldiers of Sun Ce's army who could not fight back could not be used as targets, and they all retreated a distance of twenty battles, and the general's formation was extremely sparse.Only Sun Ce, Huang Gai, and several other generals of the Sun Army whom Feng Yu didn't know were still in the battle immediately.Feng Yu also forbade his own soldiers to shoot at them.

At this time, Sun Jian, who was bound, suddenly shouted: "Cer, don't worry about being a father, attack and kill them quickly..."

The soldiers next to Feng Yu were about to gag Sun Jian, but Feng Yu stopped him.Even Zhang Zi looked at Feng Yu with surprise.

Sun Jian was still shouting, ordering Sun Ce to attack and kill Feng Yu and others.Under the firelight, beads of sweat dripped down from Sun Ce's flushed face.At this time, the sound of rolling iron hooves suddenly came from a distance,

The already sparse Sun Jun army formation was caught off guard, and was cut open in an instant, and the hundred tiger and leopard cavalry of the Zhuyang Army rushed in, forming in front of the circular formation.The survivors of the Sun Army soldiers who were rushed by these tigers and leopards wailed and groaned.

Only then did Sun Ce and Sun Jun's soldiers realize that a large number of cavalry had gathered behind Sun Jun's formation.The hundreds of riders who rushed in were only a small part of them.If they had launched an attack with all their strength just now, Sun Jun on the scene might have been completely wiped out.At this time, even Sun Jian, who was shouting loudly, was shocked.

But Feng Yu shouted loudly: "If you don't get out of the way, you will all be turned into flesh and blood here!"

Sun Jian started yelling again at this time: "Go away, retreat quickly, leave me alone." Seeing that Sun Ce was still hesitating.Sun Jian paced his feet and said: "Hey, what a worthless thing, I asked you to kill you just now, but you didn't kill me! Now it's time to retreat and you won't retreat! What a scumbag, scorpion!"

Just when Feng Yu lost his patience and wanted to order a full-scale attack on Sun Jun.Sun Ce finally made up his mind and said: "Pass on my military order, the whole army retreats!"

Huang Gai roared with red eyes: "Young master!"

"Needless to say, the whole army retreats, we have no choice now!" Sun Ce said firmly.

Sun Jian's voice was almost hoarse, and he continued to shout in a hoarse voice: "Yes! That's right, this is just like my son."

……

After a short time, the team brought by Sun Ce was completely withdrawn, even the corpses and wounded soldiers were taken away.Feng Yu and others continued to return to Zhuyang under the escort of Qianqi Hubaoqi.

At a three-way intersection, Zhang Zi cupped his fists and said goodbye to Feng Yu: "Thank you, Junhou, for saving your life today. I can't accompany Junhou back to Zhuyang now, because I am worried that Sun Jun's other troops or Yuan Shujun will take the opportunity to attack." I am Wancheng, and I need to go back first to strengthen the defense of Wancheng. I will bid farewell to the lord."

Feng Yu nodded and said, "The prefect is right. But..." Zhang Zi saw that he was hesitant to speak, so he said, "If you have something to say, just say it. You and a certain friend are friends in need. Why not?" Speech?"

Feng Yu went on to say: "However, Wancheng is a place that is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Previously, Wancheng was able to maintain peace because the princes and counties in the surrounding states and counties have not yet unified, and they are beyond the reach of Nanyang. But now the situation It's very different."

Feng Yu paused, and then continued: "What's more, this Nanyang is the place of the Four Wars. In the future world of war, heroes from all walks of life will definitely pass by and get involved here. This Sun Jian is just the beginning. How many heroes and tyrants will come and go here..."

Zhang Zi's mood suddenly became heavy. He understood that what Feng Yu said was the truth, and he also knew what Feng Yu meant.He cupped his hands to Feng Yu and said, "Zi understands the good intentions of the junhou, and also understands that Wancheng will be lost to Zhang Zi one day. It's just that Zizi hasn't figured out how to arrange it if Wancheng is abandoned. The people of Wancheng in this city. Zi can't bear to hand them over to others at will."

Zhang Zi paused for a while, and suddenly said as if he had made up his mind: "If that day really comes, Zi begs the prince to take in and resettle the tens of thousands of elders in Wancheng. Zi hereby thanked the prince in advance."

Feng Yu replied: "It's natural. If the prefect needs it, he can bring the people of Wancheng to Zhuyang to avoid disaster at any time. Not only Zhuyang, but also a large area of ​​land along the southwest coast of Mianshui can be resettled."

After traveling all night, Feng Yu and his party finally returned to Zhuyang safely.After Sun Jian, Cheng Pu and those Sun Jun prisoners of war were settled.Feng Yu, with bloodshot eyes, seized the time to catch up on sleep.

When Feng Yu woke up and washed up, he found two wives, Cai Yan and Wei Lier, waiting in the outer hall.Feng Yu didn't tell them about this matter yesterday, and he didn't return all night, which made them worry all night...
