Start with the humble bridegroom

Chapter 199
After noon, Jiangbei sent the fleet over.

Legend has it that Chen Shanyao's lifelong enemy, Zhao Gongju, did not come in person. After hearing that Chen Shanyao was not in the Wu army fleet, and a large number of Wu army water troops were trapped on land.Zhao Gongju gathered eleven large ships and all warships and went down the river, preparing for a decisive battle with the main force of the Southern Wu Navy.

In the words Zhao Gongju conveyed to Xue Xiong: This is a god-sent opportunity.

Seeing the arrival of the fleet, Zhang Zhe, despite Xue Xiong's persuasion, crowded onto the boat with five hundred people, not wanting to stay in the south of the Yangtze River for a moment.

With the help of Zhang Zhe, Xue Xiong turned defeat into victory, and regardless of the disparity in status, he sent Zhang Zhe to the ship.

Before leaving, Xue Xiong also took a silver-bordered post from the Chongguohou Mansion in the capital and handed it to Zhang Zhe.

"Whenever my little brother goes to Beijing, he must come to my house for a visit."

Chongguohou is Xue Xiong's father.

Just when Xue Xiong was about to disembark, Zhang Zhe suddenly made a sound.

"General Xue stay behind."

The bearded man turned his head and asked, "Just tell me if you have anything to do!"

Zhang Zhe organized his language before speaking in a low voice.

"The general thought that Chen Shanyao lost his way back by water, where would he go?"

Xue Xiong became interested: "What do you think, little brother?"

"Wu Jun's naval division did not carry much food and grass at all. In addition to the cold weather, Wu Jun must find a place where he can eat but has insufficient defense."

Xue Xiong just thought about it for a while, and then softly asked three words.

"Li Guzhuang?"

This is the camp where Zhang Zhe left this morning, and it is also the nearest transfer point to the Jiang'an camp.

But Xue Xiong turned and sighed: "A certain duty is to guard the river bank, and there is not enough troops. Even if we know that he is there, we can only ask the battalion to send troops to wipe it out."

Zhang Zhe laughed.

Jumping off the boat and standing on the north bank of the river, Zhang Zhe looked into the distance with gentle eyes.

In the main room of the Gu Family's Guihe Courtyard, only Meng Xiaowan was there, and she sent out all the maids and mothers-in-law.

Meng Xiaowan picked out a candle, then looked at the book in her hand.

The title of the book is "Peach Blossom Fan".

She had washed her face and burned her feet just now, she couldn't fall asleep for a while with loose hair, so she put on her clothes and read a book.

But the candle was half lit, and the book in her hand was still the same page, she was in a daze and didn't know what to think.

In fact, she always wanted to hide alone and cry a lot, but she was afraid of bad luck, so she could only swallow it in her stomach full of grievances and sorrows.

During the day, he had to pretend to be calm in front of the old lady, sisters and servants.

The curtain was lifted quietly, without Meng Xiaowan noticing, a tall figure sneaked up behind her.

"Little beauty, guess who I am?"

A pair of warm and familiar big hands covered Meng Xiaowan's eyes.

Zhang Zhe was waiting for the lady's exclamation, but found that his palm covering her eyes was wet with tears.

"Husband, am I dreaming?"

After a big kiss, Zhang Zhe hugged Meng Xiaowan.

"Are you awake from this dream?"

At the same time, the river bank camp on the other side of the river.

In the dark night, a few air-dead lanterns were hung on the watchtower, and from time to time, the groans of wounded soldiers in the daytime battle drifted away with the wind.After a hard day's fighting, the camp was full of snoring, the smell of residual wine hadn't dissipated, and people's vigilance had dropped to the lowest level.

Seven or eight soldiers of the Wu Army bit their sticks and tiptoed slowly approaching from the north of the Jiang'an camp.

When they raided early this morning, the layout here had been completely destroyed by them.Under the enemy's victory, presumably there will not be too many precautions.

Wu Jun's leader, Shichang, touched the ground, but only found a few improvised alarm organs, which he easily dismantled.

"These Zheng dogs really did not meet the general's expectations. They didn't expect us to be so bold as to come back. The security agencies took care of it." Slowly, hundreds of black shadows touched the edge of the camp. superior.

Wu Jun easily wiped the necks of the two sleepy guards, and the antler fence was silently lifted away.

In the darkness, Chen Shanyao's figure appeared in front of him.

"Everyone, go straight to the Chinese army with me and take Xue Xiong's head!"

The two thousand Wu soldiers rushed into the camp without saying a word, with sticks in their mouths. In order not to attract the attention of the enemy, they even bypassed the camp and went straight to the direction of the Chinese army.

Several Wu Jun quietly got out of one tent, and then got into another tent. When wiping the neck of the last enemy, the leader finally realized something was wrong.

The bodies of these people are too cold, like ice cubes!
When the flames came on, Wu Jun, the leader, glanced at the man whose neck he had wiped, with his pale face and tightly shut mouth, it was clearly a man who had been dead for a while!
He hastily extinguished the torch in his hand, but the darkness did not continue, because the entire camp was brightly lit.

The shouts of killing all around suddenly sounded, and the sound of silent arrows piercing the air came, there was an ambush!

Chen Shanyao looked at Xue Xiong, who was fully armored and hiding behind a large group of shield players, with a look of horror. His turning around and attacking at night was just a temporary idea, and the other party could guess it?

Xue Xiong licked the corner of his mouth excitedly, he was not in the mood to talk to the other party, he just kept ordering the soldiers to shoot arrows.

On the tents in the area where the Wu people were besieged, he sprinkled fire oil all over, and in order to cover up the smell of fire oil, he poured all the wine in the camp there.

The fire broke out everywhere, and the most elite soldiers of the Wu people collapsed.

Darkness and flames intertwine to form a hell, and they couldn't see everything around them, except for the flames around them and the wailing of their comrades in arms.

Some people who frantically rushed to the edge of the fire scene fell under the solid fence like hedgehogs.

The surrounded Wu army fell into a desperate situation.

More than a hundred soldiers, composed of Chen's children and servants, rushed towards a camp wall with Chen Shanyao in their arms.

Chen Shanyao was hit by three arrows and fell into a coma.

Several soldiers roared wildly, rolling their bodies in the sea of ​​flames, barely opening a path two feet wide.

Before rushing to the tall camp wall, there were only more than 20 guards left.

The soldiers of the Chen family resisted the licking of the flames and built a ladder with their bodies. The tall soldiers with Chen Shanyao tied to their bodies climbed up the ladder with blood and tears on their faces.

"Leave with the general, Wu Guo cannot live without him!"

When four or five soldiers covered in black hugged Chen Shanyao and disappeared into the darkness of the field, the flesh and blood ladder also quietly burned into a huge torch.

The soldiers around Xue Xiong were all cheering loudly, but the hero Zheng remembered what Zhang Zhe said to him after he boarded the boat at noon.

Just after he said that his duty was to guard the Jiang'an camp, he was unable to pursue Chen Shanyao.

The young man smiled.

"Then Chen Shanyao will definitely go to Li Guzhuang, otherwise his soldiers and horses will starve and freeze to death. And if he occupies Li Guzhuang, he must know that my army here is not a surprise attack, but an army of five hundred people. That's all. The south of Li Guzhuang is our army, the west is the mountains, the east is the plain, and the north is the Jiang'an camp. Those Wu troops are all from the navy. If they go to the mountains at this time, they will seek death. If they go east, they will be killed by our cavalry It's impossible to catch up. Therefore, the Jiang'an camp that was damaged during the day is the best place to break through. Besides, who would have guarded against him attacking twice a day?"

Xue Xiong looked at the raging sea of ​​flames, and muttered to himself: "This scholar, he really hit the mark."
