Chapter 741

Jiangling, Yuan Shang camp.

Ma Chao's battle report was rushed, and Xingye was delivered to Yuan Shang.

Looking at the battle report in his hand, Yuan Shang couldn't help but let out a long breath, feeling an inexplicable feeling in his heart...

I think Yuan Shang met Zhang Fei when he joined hands to fight Cao Jun in Runan. Although Zhang Fei was always angry with Yuan Shang and hated him to the bone, Yuan Shang had a good impression of Zhang Fei.

Although he was in the enemy's camp, Zhang Fei was straightforward, bold, sincere, and loyal. Because of this, he was planted in Yuan Shang's hands many times, and he was counted by Yuan Shang.

But now, all of this disappeared with Zhang Fei's death.

Gently putting down the battle report in his hand, Yuan Shang leaned back and let out a long sigh of relief.

Zhang Yan below looked at Yuan Shang with an unhappy face, and said, "My lord, what's the matter?"

"Zhang Fei is dead." Yuan Shang replied lightly.

Zhang Yan's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Zhang Fei is dead? This is good news. This man has always hated the lord deeply, and he is also extremely brave. He is indeed a great enemy of our army, and he and Liu Bei are brothers in life and death. , once he dies, Liu Bei will definitely be in a state of confusion, reduce the spirit of the Shu army, and greatly increase our chances of winning!"

Yuan Shang nodded and said: "Yes, I also know that this is good news, but for some reason, there is a little sadness in my heart."

Zhang Yan raised her eyebrows when she heard the words: "Sad? What is there for you to be sad?"

"This is the loneliness of being too cold at a high place. A heartless and rude person like you will not understand my delicate heart."

Zhang Yan pursed her lips when she heard the words, bowed her head and did not speak.

B is the same B, it depends on the size...

Yuan Shang became more and more unpredictable.

After a while, Yuan Shang suddenly asked, "How is the battlefield situation in various places?"

Zhang Yan smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Our army has many generals, abundant food and grass, and our weapons and horses are far superior to Sun Liu. It is no problem to deal with them. The situation in various battlefields is that our army has the upper hand! Only Xia Houyuan's soldiers Ma, I heard that Huang Zhong and Cheng Pu are united, forming horns, it is difficult to resist, and I am afraid that there will be mistakes."

Yuan Shang frowned when he heard the words, and said: "These two old men are quite old. They don't hold their grandsons at home to practice Taijiquan, and they even run out to make trouble for others! How come they are so ignorant at such an old age!"

Zhang Yan nodded vigorously and said, "That's right, it's thieves to grow old and not die! These two old thieves, relying on the old to sell the old, are too fucking bullying!"

Yuan Shang turned his head to look at Zhang Yan when he heard the words, and said in surprise: "You black mountain thief, you don't seem to have the right to call him a thief, do you?"

Zhang Yan was not ashamed and said, "Who says I'm a thief? I've changed my mind and started a new life. I'm no longer a stupid thief who robbed my house. Now I'm an upright and righteous thief! I'm a thief who has been recruited! Just like ordinary bandits Can it be compared?"

Well, the thief who has been recruited is still so upright in his speech, licking his old face and calling others a thief... In troubled times, jackals are indeed in power.

"My lord!" Zhang Yan didn't seem to want to continue entangled in the topic of thieves, and then turned to ask: "Huang Zhong and Cheng Pu have formed horns and are eager to go south. In the end, they are afraid that Xia Houyuan will be alone. I wonder if we will send troops to reinforce it?"

Yuan Shang pondered for a while after hearing the words, finally heaved a long sigh and shook his head.

"Let's forget it. Xia Houyuan has a violent temper and is arrogant. I don't support other people. If I support him alone, I'm afraid that not only won't he get his gratitude, but he might come back and scold me in a hurry. It's just a mess." Sao."

Zhang Yan heard the words: "But the battlefield is dangerous, in case something goes wrong with Xia Houyuan..."

Yuan Shang heard the words, heaved a long sigh, and said: "Then it can only be considered that his beauty is unlucky."

When Zhang Yan heard this, her eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

When I was young...

"He is your father-in-law." Zhang Yan reminded Yuan Shang kindly.

"I know, you don't need to tell me." Yuan Shang obviously didn't understand the purpose of his words.

"Since it's your father-in-law, don't you think it's nothing to do with yourself, whether he lives or dies?"

Yuan Shangchang sighed, shook his head and said, "Zhang Yan, let me ask you a question."

"Tell me." Zhang Yan said seriously.

"Have you ever died, my father-in-law?"

Zhang Yan's face darkened upon hearing this, and said, "I've died before."

"How did you die?"

"Sick and dead."

Yuan Shang smiled when he heard the words, and said, "When your father-in-law died, how did you feel in your heart?"

Zhang Yan was taken aback when she heard the words, lowered her head and pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "I feel... I feel that the sky is blue, the grass is green, and people are endless. This world is so fucking beautiful!"

Yuan Shang nodded his head when he heard the words, and said: "Don't do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself. You know that for a man, death is the most wonderful thing in the world. Why don't you let me enjoy this with you?" Is it good?"

Zhang Yan heard the words and said weakly: "But, you are different, you are the master..."

"My lord is also a man...Men generally hate my father-in-law."

"........."
after a while...

"My lord, can we stop making trouble and tell the truth?"

Zhang Yan's face became a little unkind, why did he want the old man to die? If Yuan Shang wanted Xia Houyuan to die, he would have killed him many years ago, so why wait until today.

Yuan Shang also put away his joking face, shook his head and said: "The real purpose of my not sending troops to reinforce, one is because I am afraid of hurting Xia Houyuan's self-esteem, and the other is because I trust him."

Zhang Yan was taken aback when he heard the words: "Trust him?"

Yuan Shang nodded and said: "Even if Huang Zhong and Cheng Pu are united, it is more difficult to deal with, but Xia Houyuan is the right general of Hubuguan. Back then, he ran thousands of miles to attack Baohan, which is enough to show his ability. Back then, Dingjunshan was defeated by Huang Zhong. Because he had the will to die at that time, he cared about his head and ignored his back...but now it's different, he wholeheartedly seeks revenge on Huang Zhong, and he is ashamed. I believe that with his ability, he can definitely defeat Huang Zhong and win Jiang Xia for me !"

Speaking of this, Yuan Shang straightened his chest and said proudly: "At that time, I will have a good father-in-law who can be proud of!"

Zhang Yan asked blankly: "Then what if he can't do it?"

Yuan Shang's face darkened: "Then I will have a dead father-in-law who won't bother me anymore."

Zhang Yan: "..."

*******************************
Jiangxia City.

Gao Lan's army is still in full swing against Jiangxia City. Although Yuan Jun is the one attacking the city, his soldiers are well-equipped and well-equipped, which is very advantageous in every aspect.

Although the veteran Cheng Pu was also battle-tested and capable, he couldn't hold on to Yuan Jun, who was like a wolf and a tiger under Gao Lan's command, like a turbulent wave crashing on the shore.

Huang Zhong and Cheng Pu discussed that the two armies would form horns, but to be on the safe side, Huang Zhong did not immediately send troops to support Jiangxia City.

After waiting for a long time, the scout came back quickly and reported Yuan Jun's truth to Huang Zhong.

"General Huang, according to the investigations of his subordinates, the number of soldiers and horses that Yuan Jun besieged Jiangxia is about [-]. It should be that the troops have not been divided. In addition, Xiahouyuan's flag stands erect in the middle army. Jiangxia City is currently in danger. Cheng Pu I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on for a long time."

Huang Zhong was silent for a long time, stroked his gray beard, and said, "Wait, did you check everything out?"

The scout nodded and said: "The investigation is clear, and the subordinates are willing to guarantee their lives."

"Okay!" When the words fell, Huang Zhong clenched his fist and thumped his thigh heavily, stood up slowly, and said, "Xia Houyuan is a man who wants to break Jiang Xia, this time I must give him a good look! Order the three armies After mobilizing all the soldiers and horses to directly attack Xiahouyuan's army, General Chen Shi led [-] soldiers from his headquarters to guard the stronghold, and the old man led the troops to fight Xiahouyuan in person!"

"promise!"

…………

…………

The dispatch speed of the Shu army was very fast. After gathering the main elite soldiers, they immediately rushed in the direction of Jiangxia City.

Not long after Huang Zhong's main force left, they saw a horse riding slowly out of the woods next to his camp, looking at Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses going away and the dust left behind, they kept sneering.

"Old man Huang Zhong, let you know how powerful this general is today!"

After finishing speaking, he ordered the captain behind him: "Send the order, immediately follow the general to capture Huang Zhong's Dazhai!"

Hearing the words, the captain hesitated for a while and said, "General, although Huang Zhong has left, in my opinion, there are no less than [-] soldiers and horses left behind in Dazhai, and we only have [-] cavalry. ...too little?"

Xia Houyuan smiled when he heard this, and said: "When the two armies are fighting, they don't look at the numbers, but only at the front. Once Huang Zhong leaves, how can those wine bags and rice bags in his Dazhai be able to defeat this general? Don't talk too much, order them all at once. Soldiers and horses follow me to attack the stronghold!"

"promise!"

…………

…………

After Huang Zhong left, Deputy General Chen Shi was ordered to guard Dazhai. He sat leisurely in the handsome tent, holding a small tea bowl in his hand, drinking hot water while reading military books. He looked like a Confucian general. contented.

Just when Chen Shi was enjoying himself, outside the handsome tent, there was suddenly a violent sound of horseshoes and shouts, and the sound resounded all over the field, shocking the sky.

Chen Shi was startled when he heard the words, he got up quickly, strode out of the tent, and looked around.

But one of his subordinate captains rushed over, cupped his hands and said to him: "General Qi, someone stole the camp!"
Chen Shi was startled when he heard the words, and said in a panic, "Stealing the camp? How many people are here?"

The subordinate hurriedly said: "The scouts outside the village report that there are about two to three thousand people."

When Chen Shi heard this, his heart fell instantly, he slapped his chest with a smile, and said, "How many people should I be, so there are only two or three thousand soldiers and horses? Hey, I will be worried for a while, it's okay ! There are [-] elite soldiers in our camp, so I’m afraid we won’t be able to crush these thieves to death... Have you seen who’s soldiers are on the other side?"

The school captain shook his head when he heard the words, and said: "The other side didn't fly the flag, so I don't know who is leading the army."

Chen Shi thought for a while, and said: "It doesn't matter whoever leads the army. We have a lot of people, so we are afraid that we won't be able to defend them? Go! Command the troops to drive them back. I will not deal with these little thieves myself. , I have to go back to read the military book, grab the leader, and remember to bring his head to the commander's tent, I will see what this daring guy looks like!"
