Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 684
Zhou Cang was intercepted by Zhang Hu for a while, and it took more than an hour before he led his army. Before entering Qingshuikou, he had prepared for a big battle.

But when he entered Qingshuikou, he didn't see the enemy army, there were scattered corpses on the ground, and there were no traces of too fierce fighting.

He reined in his horse and stared ahead.

At this time, Chen Sheng's soldiers and horses came up slowly from the east, about two thousand in number, and were forming formation.

Chen Sheng also saw Zhou Cang's soldiers and horses coming alone, and bowed his hands in salute: "Chen Sheng, envoy of Nanyang Banner of Jingwu Division, pays homage to General Zhou Cang Zhonglang!"

"Chen Sheng, where are Wen Pin and Zhang Hu?"

Zhou Cang asked in a deep voice.

"It's over!"

Chen Sheng replied.

"Passed?" Zhou Cang's face sank, and his voice was a little cold: "Killed? I don't think you are not damaged at all, I'm afraid it is not!"

"Someone let them go!"

Chen Sheng answered truthfully.

"why?"

There was a killing intent in Zhou Cang's eyes.

"A certain man and Zhang Hu are life-and-death friends. In the past when we were bandits in Jiangxia, Zhang Hu saved me from fire and water many times. He forced me to die. I couldn't do it, so I made way!" Chen Sheng Soft analysis.

"You voted for my Marquis Ming's Mansion, but you fled with the help of the enemy, and ruined our battle situation. I will not spare you!"

When Zhou Cang heard the words, he was furious and threw a whip at him.

Snapped!
Chen Sheng took the whip harshly, and then said: "Someone made a mistake, and I am willing to accept the responsibility!"

"You think I dare not kill you!" Zhou Cang pursued and killed Wenpin, but was intercepted by Zhang Hu. He knew in his heart that he had already destroyed the deployment of the headquarters, and he wanted to make up for his mistakes, but he didn't want Chen Sheng to let him go After leaving them, he was already suffocating his anger, and he even vented his anger on Chen Sheng.

"stop!"

Huang Zhong came on a galloping horse, flung out his whip, and stopped Zhou Cang.

His eyes swept across, as sharp as a blade, making everyone present dare not look directly into his eyes.

"What's going on here?" After a while, he asked coldly.

"General Han Sheng, he let Wen Pin and Zhang Hu go!"

Zhou Cang said coldly.

"Chen Sheng, can this happen?" Huang Zhong asked.

"It's someone's fault!"

Chen Sheng was willing to be punished, and he also knew that since he surrendered to Mu Jun and assumed the position of Jing Wusi, he should not be double-faced, but he really couldn't do anything to Zhang Hu.

"Let's put this matter on hold for now!"

Huang Zhong understood the details before and after, and took a deep breath. Chen Sheng should be punished for the crime, but the situation is just, and besides, the people of Jingwusi should not be punished by him. Jingwusi has Jingwusi's family law.

He said to Zhou Cang: "Zhou Cang, you immediately lead your army to meet Zhang Liao. You just got the news that Zhang Liao's attack on Fancheng is not good, and Pang Ji blocked him under the moat!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Zhou Cang took the order and led his army away.

"Chen Sheng, do you have any arrangements for Jiangxia soldiers?" Huang Zhong asked Chen Sheng at this time. Chen Sheng belongs to the Jingwu Division and should not be in charge of the army, but these two thousand Jiangxia soldiers followed him. His consent is required for rectification.

"Leave it to the general!"

Chen Sheng cupped his hands and said.

"The battle is not over yet. For the time being, you are still in command. But let me tell you first. You may not know the rules of the Minghou Mansion. Since you belong to the Jingwu Division, you have no right to lead the army. You have the right to lead the army." Still have to call out!"

"Someone knows!" If Chen Sheng hadn't known about the Minghou Mansion, how would he have dared to surrender, and he would have worked so hard for the Minghou Mansion.

"You have made merit in this battle, but you let them pass at the critical moment. This is a waste of time. From my heart, I don't blame you, but the rules are the rules. I'm afraid you will suffer a little bit later! "

Huang Zhong came up, patted Chen Sheng on the shoulder, and said, "If Jing Wusi can't tolerate you, come to me!"

After finishing speaking, Huang Zhong took the main force and headed for Fancheng.

Chen Sheng looked at Huang Zhong's back and heaved a sigh of relief. With this sentence, even if he couldn't stand in the Jingwu Division at this time, at least he had to be optimistic. Huang Zhong was the No. [-] under Minghou's command. A fierce general.

"Sima, what should we do now?"

Several military lords from Jiang Xiaying came up to ask.

"Rectify your soldiers!"

Chen Sheng said to his confidants: "The next step is to besiege Fancheng. When we are needed, they will naturally give orders. You follow me to vote for Minghou. It is a battle of wealth and honor, but today we hired Zhang Huwen Let it go, I'm afraid there will be some twists and turns!"

"There will be twists and turns, as long as there is hope!"

"It's better than being cast aside in Xiangyang!"

"Captain Zhang Hu is also our brother, so we can't fight those old brothers!"

Several military lords have been bandits for many years, and have experienced countless times of life and death. They are very fond of Chen Sheng himself, and there are some things that he can take for granted.

………………

……

Night fell quickly on Fancheng.

Outside Fancheng, the camps were contiguous, and the flames were soaring into the sky.

The main force of the Mu army has all arrived outside the city. The Violent Bear Army and the Jingping Second Army have set up their own camps, and the main roads from the river to the gates have surrounded the city inside and out. I am afraid that the city will be attacked immediately.

Main Camp of the Chinese Army.

In the big tent, the lights are bright.

Huang Zhong Xi Zhicai took the first place, the general of Jingping Second Army sat on the left side, and the general of the Violent Bear Army sat on the right side.

"Zhou Cang, do you know your mistake?"

Huang Zhong was the first to blame Zhou Cang.

"The crime of the last general!" Zhou Cang didn't have any chances. He knew that he fought this battle too hastily. Something went wrong, which resulted in the inability to succeed in the first battle, and the siege of the city was still necessary in the end. This was a mistake.

"Attack without authorization, disrespect the military order, the crime should be executed, think that now is the time of war, let me let you go for the time being, in a war, beheading the general is unlucky, let you have a chance to make meritorious deeds, but the death penalty can be escaped, the living crime cannot be escaped, the first army Battle twenty, you are lucky if you don’t die, tomorrow morning, you will personally lead the bear to attack Fancheng, if you can break through the city first, you will be innocent!”

Huang Zhong didn't want to be too fussy. After all, the changes during the war are hard to say. If these generals are suppressed to obey the military orders of the headquarters, then it is equivalent to imprisoning their abilities, which is not good for future development, but rules are rules. , always make it clear.

"Leader!"

Zhou Cang took off his battle armor and handed over his hands to accept the crime.

In the [-]th battle of the army, unless Huang Zhong personally takes action, no one can kill him as a general.

"General Zhou Zhonglang, offended!"

The left and right military policemen have come out to take Zhou Cang out to fight.

Chen Sheng attended the meeting as Jingzhou Banner Envoy of Jingwu Division, and he was still frightened a lot by this scene, which made him feel a bit of coolness. If you are punished, you will be punished, but you will not stay behind.

"It's not good for the last general to attack Fancheng, and he will be guilty!"

Zhang Liao also hurried out to plead guilty.

"What's going on?"

Xi Zhicai asked softly: "Fancheng is empty, why can't it be attacked!"

"The last general underestimated the enemy!"

Zhang Liao smiled wryly: "I thought it would be easy to capture, but I didn't expect Pang Ji to organize young men in the city, guard the river mouth of the moat, and block our warships. When we wanted to change the way to enter the city, Wenpin had already Killed back!"

"Pangy?"

Xi Zhicai gasped: "I still underestimated this old guy!"

"It's okay!"

Huang Zhong squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The Jingzhou army has been defeated. We have killed thousands of enemies on the battlefield. Wenpin has lost his courage. Jiang Xiaying has surrendered to us more than half. The morale of the army is low. At most, it is just a little more effort. , this Fancheng, I have taken Ding.

………………

……

Fancheng was shrouded in darkness.

Under the defeat, the army's morale was broken.

If Pang Ji hadn't made preparations in advance and gathered more than a thousand young men in the city to defend Fancheng and not be defeated by Zhang Liao's surprise attack, Fancheng might have changed hands by this time.

But even if he accepted Wenpin and Zhang Hu to return to the city, the army's morale was in turmoil and the troops were weak, and it was difficult to defend Fancheng.

"Ji Gong, are you really unable to keep it?"

In the lobby of the county government office, Wen Pin looked unwillingly at Pang Ji who was sitting on the floppy chair.

"General Wen, this battle has been defeated again and again. The generals have no fighting spirit, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. Although Fancheng is strong, it can be attacked along the water and land outside the city. How can we defend our troops and morale! " Pang Ji shook his head.

"Blame me!"

Wenpin blamed himself: "If I hadn't been greedy for merit and went out of the city to pursue it and stick to Fancheng, how could they have taken advantage of it!"

"It's just mental arithmetic but no intention, the general doesn't need to blame himself!"

Pang Ji said softly: "This battle has been defeated. It is useless to say more. Fancheng cannot be kept. With the strength of the shepherds outside the city, I am afraid that they will not be able to wait for reinforcements. There is no need to cause unnecessary casualties. Just withdraw your troops!"

"withdraw troops?"

Wen Pin's face was ugly: "The Mu army has warships and horses. With the city, they can still fight. If they withdraw their troops, they will probably be chased by them and the whole army will be wiped out!"

"The old man cut off the queen for you!"

Pang Ji said: "As long as you wait for the remaining son to go to Jingzhou!"

"How can you let Ji Gong decide the queen?"

Wenpin panicked, he has always respected scholars, and he was taught by Duke Ji when he was young, he has always been like a master to Duke Ji, even if he has a deep affection for Chen Sheng, he will not implicate Duke Ji, the reputation of Duke Ji is absolutely Trustworthy, he will never betray.

"This failure is due to Chen Sheng, Chen Sheng is the responsibility of this old man, and this old man should bear it!"

Pang Ji bowed his hands to Wen Pin, and said softly: "General Wen, although this defeat is defeated, it does not damage Jingzhou much. Zhang Hu is a fierce general. If he uses it well in the future, he will be the general's right-hand man. Please don't worry about Chen Sheng's misfortune. , far away from his heart!"

"Ji Gong?"

Wenpin frowned.
