The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 473 First Attack
Zhang Fei's main army marched a bit slower, but after more than a day, they landed one after another near Jingmen Mountain on the opposite bank of Huya Mountain.

Zhang Fei divided the army into two parts. On the army side, he himself and Huang Quan were in command, with Zhang Da as his deputy.Another lieutenant, Fan Jiang, commanded the navy.Although it is said that the Jiangzhou Army Navy has also undergone years of training, compared with the well-trained Soochow Navy, its power is obviously lagging behind.Therefore, Zhang Fei's order to Fan Jiang was to let him focus on defense.Before the army has gained an absolute advantage, the navy should not easily engage with the enemy.

At this time, the governor Lu Meng had not yet arrived at the police, and Xu Sheng had already learned about Zhang Fei's army.He immediately sent Zhaowu General Zhu Ran to lead an army of [-] troops to occupy Jingmen Mountain in advance, trying to block the way of Zhang Fei's army going east.

After Zhang Fei found out the news, he was quite disdainful of Zhu Zhi's appearance.Without discussing with Huang Quan, he sent Zhang Da with [-] troops to attack Zhu Ran's army.

But soon, news came that Zhang Da won the first battle as soon as he contacted Zhu Ranjun.Zhang Fei was very happy when he heard the news.

But then, another news suddenly came from the front, saying that Zhang Da had accidentally hit an enemy ambush, causing heavy casualties to his soldiers, and he was now on his way back.

Zhang Fei suddenly felt a little unbelievable. What the hell is this Zhang Da doing? Why did he just win the battle and suddenly lose the battle again?
At this time, Huang Quan obviously also got the news of Zhang Da's defeat, and rushed to see Zhang Fei.Huang Quan is a smart man, after discussing it with Zhang Fei, he knew that Zhu Ran must have lured Zhang Da into the ambush circle in the mountains with a feint of defeat.

Zhang Fei nodded, knowing that this should be the case.

At the same time, after Zhang Bao had a short rest in Yiling City, he wanted to lead his army out to attack Huya Mountain, but was immediately stopped by Ni Hen.

Then, Ni Hen took out the letter written by the prince and handed it to Zhang Bao, but it turned out that the prince asked Zhang Bao and Ni Hen to lead the army back to Liao Hua's camp, and only stayed in Yiling City. 3000 people are enough.After all, in view of the current behavior of the two armies, it is no longer possible for the Wu army in Huya Mountain to pose a threat to Yiling City.

Zhang Bao didn't have any objections, so he took his men and horses and Ni Hen to the north of Liaohua's camp.

Almost at the same time, Zuo Fu and his rangers secretly sent by Liu Chan also crossed the Yangtze River and came to Zhang Fei's camp.Liu Chan knew that Zhang Fei was decapitated by his two subordinates Zhang Da and Fan Jiang in history.

Therefore, in order to protect Zhang Fei's safety, Liu Chan specially assigned Zuo Fu and his ranger to Zhang Fei.Liu Chan secretly ordered Zuo Fu to keep one third of them by Zhang Fei's side.The remaining two-thirds were assigned to Zhang Da and Fan Jiang, nominally to protect their safety, but actually to monitor their every move.

Zhang Fei was naturally very happy when he heard that Liu Chan had sent him as his accompanying guard.He chatted with Zuo Fu casually, and felt that Zuo Fu was quite a heroic person, and he liked it more in his heart, so he agreed to keep Zuo Fu by his side.

Huang Quan watched from the side, and he also liked Shizi's carefulness and consideration in his heart. He smiled at Zhang Fei: "Shizi is really a careful person! He will definitely be a good son-in-law in the future. General Zhang, you are really lucky."

Zhang Fei chuckled, and immediately dispelled the bad mood in his heart because of Zhang Da's defeat.

At sunset that day, Zhang Da fled back in embarrassment with the remaining 3000 troops.He didn't even wash his face, so he came to see Zhang Fei in shame.

Zhang Da's figure is quite tall, his body shines on the silver armor, but now it is covered with dust.His spirit looked a little haggard, his face was covered with mud, and he looked a little dirty.

As soon as Zhang Da entered Zhang Fei's tent, he knelt down and pleaded guilty to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei glanced at Huang Quan, who was next to him, and then asked coldly, "What's going on here, tell me the details quickly."

Zhang Da suddenly felt ashamed.He raised his head to look at Zhang Fei's face, but when he met Zhang Fei's extremely sharp eyes, he immediately shrank back.

Then, Zhang Da mustered up his courage after all, and replied: "General, it was the incompetence of the last general who fell into the Zhu Ran's plan. They lured the enemy into a canyon for the last general's troops, but they were captured by the enemy. Sleepy. Fortunately, our army finally rushed out, but still lost more than 2000 horses, please punish the general!"

Zhang Fei's eyes were wide open, but he stared at Zhang Da without saying a word, but it still made people feel very scary.Zhang Da couldn't help feeling panic in his heart, his hands suddenly trembled slightly uncontrollably.It can be seen that Zhang Fei has accumulated a lot of prestige in his daily life.

For a while, the atmosphere in the handsome tent was very dull.

Zhang Fei suddenly said: "I thought you were prudent, so I was relieved to let you lead the attack. But I didn't expect that you would be so greedy and aggressive, and our army would lose troops and lose generals!" Zhang Fei's voice was almost terrified. roared out.

Zhang Da's heart trembled, and he immediately knelt down on the ground.

Huang Quan knew Zhang Fei's temper, so it was really not easy to mess with.He was afraid that Zhang Fei would suddenly order to kill people, so he hurried out to ease the atmosphere, and said, "General Zhang, although General Zhang Da suffered a small defeat, as the saying goes, 'Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs', don't pay too much attention to this matter in your heart. .Just wait until we win it back tomorrow.”

Now is the time for employing people, Zhang Fei didn't intend to punish Zhang Da severely.Now that Huang Quan was pleading at the side, Zhang Fei pushed the boat along and said, "Since Huang Canjun is pleading for you, this general is not an unkind person. Get up now, and I will make a big mistake for you. Are you convinced?"

Zhang Da didn't expect Zhang Fei to talk so easily today.He originally thought that even if Zhang Fei didn't kill him, he would definitely make him suffer, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

After Zhang Da thanked Zhang Fei and Huang Quan repeatedly, he got up from the ground.

When Huang Quan saw Zhang Da, he was more conscientious.After he fled back with the defeated generals, he immediately ran to see Zhang Fei. He didn't even wash his face, let alone some wounds on his body.Huang Quan clearly saw a few bright red holes on his clothes, which must have been some minor injuries.

Huang Quan asked Zhang Da to go out to find a doctor to heal his injuries, and then go back to his camp to wash and rest.Let's wait until tomorrow morning to talk about everything.

Zhang Da felt that Huang Quan was helping today.After he saluted Huang Quan again, he quickly walked out of the tent with Zhang Fei's consent.
