At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Page 402

"Zhang Liao, whose name is Wenyuan, is from Mayi, Yanmen, General Wei Guo Zhengnan, he is what you commonly call Zhang Dayao, hahahaha."

"........."

The county magistrate of Lou County and his assistant officials all stared wide-eyed.

"I didn't expect it?"

Zhang Liao laughed happily: "I'm telling you, I am indeed a great monster, or a great monster who can use spells. I can fall from the sky, do you believe me?"

"........."

None of them reacted, and they were still in extreme shock.

"Forget it, I won't tease you anymore."

Zhang Liao shook his head, picked up a piece of pastry from the county magistrate's desk, and stuffed it into his mouth: "The matter has come to this point, Lou County is hopeless, I want to kill you, it's just a matter of hands, just a thought, so , do you surrender, or not?"

"drop!"

The county magistrate of Lou County responded in time and surrendered extremely resolutely. The speed of surrender was so fast that Zhang Liao had no time to react.

"so fast?"

"Then... the officer surrendered again? Slow down?"

The magistrate of Lou County was a little surprised, so he tentatively asked Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

He couldn't help laughing out loud, and said: "No need, no need, you are very knowledgeable about current affairs, very good, just surrender, then, what about you? The county magistrate has surrendered, will you surrender?"

Zhang Liao looked at the assistant officials beside the county magistrate.

"drop!"

The auxiliaries also surrendered very resolutely.

What a joke, the county magistrate has surrendered, are they still going to die for the country?

To be honest, it's all over here, and the country of Wu is obviously over. Moreover, this country of Wu... really didn't give them any sense of identity, nor did it give them any sense of belonging.

Facing the strong Wei in the north, what strength is there to fight for!

A group of small officials surrendered together, helped the Wei army to start preparing military supplies and fodder, and mobilized the people of Lou County to deliver food and fodder to the Wei army.

Because the Wei army has good military discipline, it does not disturb the people or loot when entering the city, so that the people of Lou County can feel at ease, so when Zhang Liao needed to continue marching, the Lou County Magistrate led the people to help the Wei army transport food, and showed that he changed his family with practical actions. On the side of Wei Jun.

Zhang Liao likes such a clear, smart and hardworking person.

The county magistrate was surnamed Qiao, and he acted as a saddle for Zhang Liao, and then offered to provide the news Zhang Liao wanted to know.

"Are you local?"

"Yes, the subordinate is a local."

"I heard that Zhu Zhi, governor of Wu County, is a difficult person to deal with. Is it true?"

"Mr. Zhu Fu fought with Sun Wentai and Sun Bofu in the early years. Later, he came to Jiangdong with Sun Bofu. Sun Bofu trusted him very much, so he was appointed as the governor of Wujun County, and he was stationed in Wuxian County. This is to protect the relatives of the Sun family."

"Which relatives are in the city?"

"All the relatives of the Sun family are here, and there are also relatives of some high-ranking officials. The most important thing is Mrs. Wu, the mother of Duke Wu."

"So that's how it is... that Zhu Zhi, can he fight? Is the army under his command strong?"

"The army is extremely strict. He is able to lead troops and knows how to lead them. Both Sun Bofu and Zhou Gongjin trust him, and his fighting power is also very strong. He is very famous."

"No wonder it can be used to watch the house."

Zhang Liao looked at Tai Shici beside him and smiled.

"But it's useless. We came from the sea. Unless Zhu Zhi has the help of ghosts and gods, he will have nothing to do with us. Ziyi, I will give you a chance to make contributions. Wu County, you go and take it. Sun's relatives, you go and take it." Next, let the king see your ability."

Tai Shici was immediately surprised.

"The general let the subordinates go?"

"Why, you don't want to?"

"No! This subordinate is willing! This subordinate is very grateful to the general!"

Tai Shici was very happy.

It's not that he really doesn't care about fame and fortune, but he knows that only by obeying orders can he enjoy fame and fortune. Seeing that people who joined the Guo Peng Group at the same time as him or even later than him are gradually surpassing him, how can he not be in a hurry?

Some of them are all Marquis of a Thousand Households, and he doesn't even have a title, so why not worry?

This time, it was time for him to show his abilities to Guo Peng and make contributions to Guo Peng!

Tai Shici happily took the order to go, picked up a team and went to surprise Wu County, rushing to the bright future of making great achievements.

"General, let Tai Shi Ziyi give up such a good opportunity to make meritorious service?"

The cronies around Zhang Liao will ask this question.

"Let, of course, why not?"

"General, why is that?"

Zhang Liao shook his head and patted the general on the shoulder.

"I was originally a surrendered general, and I was once hostile to the king. It has only been a few years since I surrendered to the king. In terms of position, I am already a general who conquers the south. Look at the ones who are on the same level as me, and those who are above me. Which one is not more experienced than me? ?General Yu Wenze is also more experienced than me, and now he has to obey my orders.

In terms of title, I am already the Marquis of Mayi County, with thousands of households in the city, and above that, that is the treatment only given to the generals of the four directions. The [-] troops in the southeast are under my command, and follow me to make contributions. I am a general who is so important to the king. I don't know how many eyeballs it has attracted.

Resentful, skeptical, jealous, I don’t know how many, the king gave me the tiger guards to protect me, support me, and also remind me, let me pay attention, if I don’t know how to check the point and continue to make great contributions to destroy Wu , After the war, how should I deal with myself?

Do you want to give me the position of general of the four directions?Cao Zixiao, Zhao Zilong, Xiahou Miaocai, or Le Wenqian?Or do I want to be on top of the Quartet Generals?On top of Cao Zixiao who has been with the king for 16 years?Under one person above ten thousand people? "

Zhang Liao looked at the trusted general, and the trusted general frowned, as if realizing that Zhang Liao was in a bad situation.

Zhang Liao turned his gaze to the north, in the direction of Yecheng.

"Your Majesty loves me, trusts me, and hopes that I will continue to make contributions, so this time to destroy Wu, Your Majesty put Tai Shi Ziyi by my side and asked me to command Tai Shi Ziyi to fight Jiangdong.

This is the opportunity that the king is giving me, asking me to pass a lot of credit to Taishi Ziyi, and let him share the burden for me, lest I become the target of public criticism. This is the end. If I act carelessly, what will happen to me? "

The pro will understand immediately.

"The subordinates are stupid and didn't think of this."

Zhang Liao smiled.

"I didn't understand at first, but then I gradually realized that leading troops to fight a war is not such a simple matter, and it doesn't end after defeating the enemy in front of us. When we lead troops to fight, winning the battle is not the most important thing, fighting to satisfy the king The battle is the most important.

In fact, don't say it's me, whether it's Cao Zixiao, Le Wenqian, Zhao Zilong, or Xiahou Miaocai, which one of these soldiers is not cautious?Can you see who is arrogant and domineering among the soldiers?You will also control your own mouth in the future and do what you should do, understand? "

"Yes! The last general takes orders!"

The general will no longer have any doubts and dissatisfaction.

Zhang Liao nodded, no longer thinking about this kind of thing, but continued to plan the future war route.

Chapter 725 .730 Si Tai Shi Ci's Surprise Attack on Wu County

Since Zhang Liao was in a different position, the scenery he saw was naturally different, so Tai Shici didn't think about what Zhang Liao thought, nor did he think so much.

He just wanted to build a career.

He had already galloped all the way, traveling day and night, and drove directly to Wu County, and a few days later, he attacked Wu County with lightning speed, and led his army into the county seat of Wu County in one fell swoop.

The defenders of Wu County were caught off guard and did not expect the sudden attack of the Wei army. In a panic, the Wei army attacked the city in one fell swoop.

At that time, the elite Wu army defending the city desperately resisted, and fought fierce street battles with the Wei army. The fighting scene was extremely fierce.

Tai Shici led the army to rush in desperately, and the defenders of the Wu army resisted desperately, and for a while they were on par with the Wei army.

Tai Shici saw that the Wu army's defense line could not be broken for a while, so he mobilized other troops to block the gates on all sides, and tried his best not to let anyone in the city escape.

After sealing off the whole city, slowly lead the elite troops to attack inwards, constantly breaking through the hastily established defense line of the Wu army with superior strength and superior equipment, and constantly inflicting huge damage and pressure on the Wu army.

Of course, Tai Shici did not forget his mission.

He learned of the settlement of the Gu family through the guides in the army, and sent his personal guards to immediately protect the safety of the Gu family and stationed in the settlement of the Gu family, so as to complete the political affairs entrusted to him by Guo Peng. Task.

After protecting the Gu family, there would be no one to be overly concerned about in the whole city, and Tai Shici would be able to attack without hesitation, and whoever died would have little to do with him.

Anyway, what Guo Peng wants to keep is only the Gu family. As for the other families, whether they live or die is not worth paying attention to at all.

At this very moment, Zhu Zhi, the prefect of Wu County, was urgently reporting something to a middle-aged woman about 50 or [-] years old in the chaotic Sun family's old house.

"Mrs. Tai, please get up immediately. Although the Wei army has entered the city, the last general will try his best to escort everyone out of Wu County! Madam, please rest assured!"

The middle-aged woman is Mrs. Wu, Sun Jian's wife.

She looked calm and didn't look flustered. Hearing this, she stood up and helped Zhu Zhi who was panicked.

"General Zhu, tell me, the Wei army has already come to Wu County, is it hopeless for the front line? Zhongmou and Gongjin, have they..."

"Mrs. Tai, the situation may not be the case. As far as the general knows, this army came silently and very ghostly. If the front line is defeated, the Wei army cannot come faster than the rout, and there is no defeat in the direction of the front line." information.

Therefore, this Wei army may have bypassed the defense line of the army in some way, and the lone army went deep into Wu County to attack Wu County in an attempt to shake the morale of our army. Mrs. Tai is in danger of the country. If Mrs. Tai is wrong, she will die blame!Zhi will send Mrs. Tai to Wu Gong and the governor even if he tries his best! "

Zhu Zhi reassured Mrs. Wu with a firm face, and Mrs. Wu nodded approvingly.

"I don't change my face in the face of adversity. General Zhu is a real general. I hope Zhongmou can learn your attitude one day."

Madam Wu looked at the Sun family members who were packing things in a panic outside, took a deep breath, and quickly walked out of the house with a serious expression.

"What are you doing? A little bit of softness, if you lose it, you will lose it, and you can continue to get it in the future. If your life is gone, everything will be gone! Zhongmou and Gongjin are still fighting bloody battles on the front line. The enemy army is panicking like this, are you worthy to be the descendants of the Sun family?!"

Mrs. Wu scolded loudly with a serious face, and immediately stunned all the members of the Sun clan and servants who were running around.

After Sun Jian left, especially after Sun Ce left, instead of saying that Sun Quan was the core of the Sun family, it would be better to say that Mrs. Wu was the core of the Sun family and even the state of Wu.

Zhou Yu's regent is still because of the support and approval of Mrs. Wu.

So Mrs. Wu's prestige is higher than that of Sun Quan at present, and not lower than that of Zhou Yu. It's just limited by her status and she doesn't often show her face outside.

Her words were still very intimidating to the members of the Sun clan and the servants. After a burst of angry reprimands, everyone dared not move.

"Don't take anything with you. Each family protects their own family members. Follow General Zhu's men and rush out of Wu County. Go to Moling to find Duke Wu and Governor Zhou. None of us are allowed to die!"

When Mrs. Wu gave an order, the members of the Sun clan and servants immediately began to move in an orderly manner, as if Mrs. Wu's words had injected great courage into them.

After witnessing this scene, Zhu Zhi didn't find it strange, because it was not surprising at all. Compared with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, Mrs. Wu was the real decision maker at the moment.

Every time Zhou Yu makes a decision, he will discuss it with Mrs. Wu before making it public.

Madam Wu also knew about the killing policy against the powerful and the high-pressure policy against the gentry, and she supported Zhou Yu in doing so, which helped Zhou Yu appease the opposition forces in Wu State, so as to push Zhou Yu to move forward.

It can be said that she is a heroine.

But now, the spiritual leader of the Sun Wu regime is going to lead everyone to rush out together, even put on armor, put on a helmet, hold a ring head knife, and lead the Sun clan to cooperate with Zhu Zhi to open the Sun Mansion The door, rushed out.

"Protect Mrs. Tai! If Mrs. Tai has made a mistake, we can all kill ourselves to thank Mr. Wu for his kindness!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Zhi's cronies, Mo Que, were quite effective and had strict military discipline. Facing the chaotic situation outside Sun's residence, they resolutely adopted the method of forcibly opening the way.

No matter who it is, as long as they stand in front of the large army, they will be slashed with a knife, and they just cut a bloody path for Mrs. Wu.

They brought not only Sun's relatives, but also important relatives of other generals and senior officials, gathered into a large-scale team, and killed all the way out.

At this time, Wei Jun was also advancing rapidly.

Tai Shici led the Wei army to rush all the way, killing more than a dozen Wu army officers in succession, killing them like crazy demons covered in blood, scaring a lot of people, so the Wu army in the city gradually began to collapse.

This collapse could no longer be reunited. The Wu army and the people of Wu County fled together to survive, unable to resist at all.

At this time, the soldiers Zhu Zhi sent to explore the road came back in a panic and reported nervously: "General! There are a large number of Wei troops outside the north gate who are attacking the city and seizing the gate. We can't go out through the north gate at all!"

"what?"

Zhu Zhi was startled, and quickly asked, "Where is Ximen? Can Ximen go?"

"No, when I came here just now, I met Ximen's defeated army, and Ximen has already been taken by the Wei army!"

"how so?!"
