The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 299 Chapter 298
When Zhao Yun came back with the crowd, Zhang Yan went to greet him in person. What Zhao Yun did in Jizhou was closely watched by Zhang Yan.

During Zhao Yun's trip to Jizhou this time, 600 enemies were wiped out one after another, and more than 300 people were killed in battle.In addition, Zhao Yun recruited [-] strong and brave men such as Xia Houlan from his hometown, and brought back countless looted property.

So Zhang Yan put these 300 people under Zhao Yun's command, and the property they plundered was used as a reward, and he also recruited hundreds of elites from other places to make up Zhao Yun's [-] troops.

That night, Zhang Yan gathered all the generals and held a grand banquet in the city to welcome Zhao Yun's triumphant return.

Jia Xu, Ruan Yu, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Gan Ning, Su Fei, Lu Meng, Zhang Wu, Chen Sun and others accompanied him.

The next day, Zhang Yan was still asleep when he was suddenly awakened by a hasty knock on the door.He opened his hazy eyes and immediately asked, "Who is it?"

"My lord, it's me, Jia Wenhe."

"Military division?" Zhang Yan quickly got dressed, opened the door, saw Jia Xu standing outside the door with an excited face, and asked, "Military division is so happy, is there any good news?"

Jia Xu said: "It's really good news. The Jinyiwei sent by the lord yesterday came back with scouts today, and found out the situation in Baimajin. It is indeed the place where Yuan Shaojun's grain is stored, and he has sent heavy troops. There are four guards, namely Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Ma Yan, and Qianzhao. Each of them leads an army and is stationed on the east, south, west, and north sides of Baimajin. Five thousand, responsible for guarding the grain and grass camp in Baimajin."

After Zhang Yan heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Are there any ambushes along the way?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Within a radius of thirty li, there is no Yuan Jun except this one."

Zhang Yan said slowly: "So, what was said in the letter of arrows last night is true, and it's not Yuan Shao's plan to lure the enemy into deep..."

Jia Xu also said very strangely: "However, few people should know about such a confidential matter. However, the letter not only explained the place where the food was stored, but even the name of the guard. The information obtained is exactly the same, so who will leak the secret to our army?"

"No matter who it is, it shows that some people in the Yuan army don't want to see Yuan Shao win. The person who delivered the letter definitely wants to see us defeat Yuan Shao. It seems that there are still some people in Yuan Shao's army who are loyal to the court." Zhang Yan said with a smile.

Jia Xu asked: "My lord, should our army be deployed immediately?"

"Soldiers are precious and fast, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, immediately call a meeting of all the generals!"

"Here!"

Afterwards, Zhang Yan sent people to call the generals, and then gave some instructions.

Food and grass are necessary for marching and fighting. Yuan Shao has 20 troops in Puyang. If there is no such food and grass to supply, what will Yuan Shao's army eat and drink here?
As long as Yuan Shao's food and grass camp is destroyed, within three days, Yuan Shao's army will inevitably be in disarray.At that time, if Zhang Yan takes advantage of the momentum to launch an attack, he will surely win the entire war.

Therefore, for this operation, Zhang Yan carefully selected five thousand elite cavalry, ordered Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Gao Shun, Gan Ning, and Lu Meng to go out with him, each leading a thousand elite light cavalry .

Zhao Yun, on the other hand, was arranged by Zhang Yan at the forward position, and led an army of [-] to challenge Yuan Shaojun's camp in order to attract Yuan Shaojun's attention.

In addition, Zhang Yan sent someone to quickly send a secret letter to Tai Shici and Xu Huang, asking them to lead the elite cavalry to Puyang, ready to participate in the decisive battle with Yuan Shao at any time.

After making arrangements, Zhang Yan put on his horses himself, led Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Gao Shun, Gan Ning, Lu Meng and other [-] elite riders, disguised themselves as Yuan Shao's army, and quietly galloped out from the south gate.

At this time, Zhao Yun, who had already ordered all the soldiers and horses, led an army of [-] to file out from the north gate of Xiancheng, marching mightily to the front of the trench dug by Yuan Shaojun, and then began to fight and shout non-stop.

At this moment, in Yuan Shaojun's camp, Yuan Shao was furious.He received a battle report from Jizhou. Zhao Yun ran rampant in Jizhou with a mere 1 troops, burned, killed and looted bullies, and opened warehouses for the common people. Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi each led an army to pursue them, but were defeated Zhao Yun was left far behind, and the second army approached the city of Yecheng, causing Yecheng to suffer some losses.

Although Zhao Yun led his troops back in the end, he left extremely far-reaching damage in Jizhou, won the support of the people, and robbed a large amount of property. The key is that Jizhou, as the rear, was devastated by Zhao Yun, and people's hearts were floating everywhere. The people have a great move to migrate.

In addition, Yuan Tan's massacre of the city in Qingzhou aroused public outrage, so that the people of Qingzhou rose up and attacked him, making the army huddled in Gaotang City and did not dare to come out, and all the occupied places were lost immediately. Zang Ba, together with Kong Rong, Wang Xiu and others, led the army and civilians of Qingzhou, and instead surrounded Chunyuqiong, Zhu Ling, and Jiang Yiqu in Gaotang City.

"Not enough successes, more than failures!" Yuan Shao cursed angrily after reading the battle report sent from Qingzhou, "Xiansi is a martial artist, showing off his ability for a while, ruining my big business! You are really mediocre!"

But at this moment, a soldier ran in from the outside and immediately reported to Yuan Shao that Zhao Yun led 1 horses to fight outside the camp.

As soon as Yuan Shao heard Zhao Yun's name, he immediately became furious and said angrily, "Zhao Yun, you have bullied me too much! Pass down the order to let Wen Chou lead the army to fight, and Zhang He and Gao Lan will be there soon."

"Here!"

Yuan Shao's army stretched for more than ten miles, and Yuan Shao's central army tent was located in the middle of the entire barracks, five miles away from the former army camp where Wen Chou was.

Therefore, he had to ride a war horse and walk five miles forward with his people before he could reach the camp where Wen Chou was.

The order was passed on quickly. When the herald passed by Gao Lan and Zhang He's camp, he passed the order along the way. Gao Lan and Zhang He each took five hundred relatives and accompanied the cavalry to the forward camp.

In the forward camp, Wen Chou closed the gate of the camp tightly, and the soldiers under his command gathered in the camp one after another, armed with spears, bows and crossbows, looking at Zhang Yanjun, who was constantly clamoring in front of the camp, and Zhao Yun, who was showing off his power.

Wen Chou is no stranger to Zhao Yun.In the battle with Gongsun Zan, Wen Chou fought against Zhao Yun several times, but at that time Zhao Yun only appeared as a general, and he fought alone in front of the formation. In the end, they fought for more than 30 rounds without a draw. Wen Chou was secretly surprised and looked at Zhao Yun with admiration.

At this time, Zhao Yun appeared in front of Wen Chou as a leading general, and Wen Chou also heard about Zhao Yun's deeds in Jizhou, and he had a little respect for Zhao Yun.

As the saying goes, heroes cherish heroes.

Wen Chou was more than ten years older than Zhao Yun. He was a master of martial arts, and he always regarded Zhao Yun very highly. He suggested to Yuan Shao many times to capture Zhao Yun alive and use him for him.Therefore, when Zhao Yun fought with Gongsun Zan, although he often charged forward, he never encountered a cold arrow. These are all thanks to Wen Chou.

At this time, the old man is right in front of his eyes, but things have changed.

Wen Chou is still the same Wen Chou, but the difference is that Zhao Yun is no longer the original Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun at this time was General Huwei under Zhang Yan's tent, one of the Five Tiger Generals, and he was highly regarded by Zhang Yan.It is far from Zhao Yun who was a cavalry pawn under Gongsun Zan back then, and his status and reputation are far from the same.

"Yuan Shao, you are a coward, do you dare to come out and fight to the death with me?" Zhao Yun's subordinates kept shouting, one after another, appearing very noisy.

Wen Chou's subordinates couldn't listen anymore, but only Wen Chou remained calm, as if he hadn't heard anything.

"General, the enemy generals are bullying people too much. It's better to let the last generals go out to fight and kill their prestige!" One of Wen Chou's generals couldn't stand it anymore, so he clasped his fists and begged for his life.

Wen Chou shook his head and said, "Zhao Yun is brave and good at fighting, you are no match for him. No one is allowed to fight without the master's order. Anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded!"

The crowd stopped talking, but the abuse was still in their ears, so they simply covered their ears and stopped listening.

After a while, the herald rushed to Wen Chou on a horse, put a token directly into Wen Chou's hand, and said out of breath: "My lord... My lord has an order, let the general go to battle Kill the enemy, don't let the enemy general run rampant!"

When Wen Chou received the order, he was confident and immediately shouted to his subordinates: "Open the gate of the village and fight with me!"

Outside Yuan Jun's camp, there is a deep and wide trench, which was specially dug by Yuan Jun to block the attack of the iron chain chain horse formation.In addition, even in the barracks, ditches of different sizes were dug for emergencies.

The gate of the village opened slowly, and the officers and soldiers of Yuan Jun, who had pent up their energy, followed Wen Chou and walked out of the camp one after another.

There were about [-] soldiers rushing to the forefront, and each of them carried a wide and thick wooden plank, and then put the wooden plank on the trench, paving a wide road.

Wen Chou drove his horse forward, crossed the ditch on wooden boards, and the rest of the people also passed through the ditch one after another, and then they were forming formations.

Soon, Wen Chou's troops were all in formation, but he didn't have many, but five thousand elite cavalry who had experienced many battles.

Just as the formation was established on this side, Zhang Yun and Gao Lan each led [-] cavalry to the front line.

Seeing Zhang He and Gao Lan coming, Wen Chou hurriedly asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm waiting for the command of the lord to come and sweep the formation for General Wen!" Zhang Yun and Gao Lan replied in unison.

Wen Chou said: "If that's the case, then I have to trouble the two generals."

As soon as the words fell, Wen Chou rode his horse with a gun, took a few steps forward, and shouted at Zhao Yun who was riding a white horse directly opposite him: "Today's duel must be decided. Let's talk about it first."

"Bah! Don't be ashamed, it's not sure who will die today!" Zhao Yun spat at Wen Chou, his eyes were full of hatred, because he stabbed to death the son of the old lord Sun Zan, Gongsun Xu, "Stop talking nonsense, let go Come here!"
