King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 317

"Hey... Actually, she is quite pitiful... He lost his mother since he was a child, and his father Zhang Yan was a gold thief, so this girl has been growing up in the military camp with a group of gentlemen. Helping farmers, or a rebellious bandit, has never settled down. It is not easy for her to survive until now, so she can only let this layer of coat wrap herself. In fact, she is protecting herself. You think, a girl, What is the situation in a military camp with only men? You are also women, so you should know better! Think about it...Especially during the few days of your month, I never imagined that this girl saw herself for the first time What does it look like to bleed?" Li Lin seriously told the girls about Zhang Susu's difficulty...

"Bah!" The girls around him, even Yan'er, who was still a maid, spat at Li Lin, "Husband! You are so shameless, how could you say such a thing!" Liu Ying said angrily.

"I'm not...I'm telling the truth..." Li Lin shrugged.

Seeing Zhang Susu still wandering around, Li Lin smiled, and Liu Ying sighed, "If my husband said it, Miss Zhang is also a hard-working woman..."

Li Lin nodded and said, "That's right! Huan'er may know some of the hardships of being a female general?" Li Lin rubbed Tata Huan'er's hands while speaking.

After hearing Li Lin's words, Tata Huan'er felt a little sympathy with Zhang Susu, and looked at Li Lin very affectionately. If there was no such person in front of him, where would he be now?
Li Lin shouted, "Miss Zhang, stop wandering, come here, you are a special envoy right now!"

Upon hearing Li Lin's call, Zhang Susu came over bouncingly, "Hey! Li Yuanjie didn't expect that your mansion is not big, but there are so many interesting things!"

Li Lin said speechlessly, "Are you talking about you, aren't you a special envoy? How come you know how to play right away!"

Zhang Susu pouted, "Hey! Forgot!"

Li Lin complained in his heart, when will this girl be cute again?Li Lin smiled and said, "Hey! How long has it been since I saw you, when did you become such a woman..."

"Hmph! She is a girl, okay?" Zhang Susu said in a very sweet voice, and the temperature of the girls around her immediately rose...

"That's right, let's talk about the business!" Li Lin hurriedly stopped him, otherwise he would be beaten again later.

"Oh! What am I here for?" Zhang Susu scratched her head and looked at the sky.

"You don't even forget what you did here!" Li Lin said in surprise.

"Go, how could you forget this? By the way, Liu He hopes that you will send troops to help attack Cao Cao in time!" Zhang Susu said very easily, as if attacking Cao Cao was like a child's play house, not a war.

"Isn't there your father and Sima Lang? Why did Liu He ask me to go?" Li Lin asked suspiciously.

"This..." Zhang Susu's expression changed suddenly, and she shook her lips, "My father has lost..."

"We lost!" Li Lin said in surprise, but Li Lin had already expected it in his heart, "How did you lose, tell me quickly!"

In fact, Zhang Yan's defeat was very simple and quick. Xu Huang lured Bai Rao to attack at night, and beheaded Bai Rao in the chaos. Bai Rao died, and the army he brought was in chaos. The obvious feature is different from Cao Cao and Li Lin's army, that is, Zhang Yan's army did not gather the soldiers together with strict discipline and fair rewards and punishments, but relied entirely on the prestige of the general. The generals under Zhang Yan's command, although They are all under the command of Zhang Yan, that is why they respected Zhang Yan as the leader, just like Zhang Jiao of the Yellow Turban Army in the past, everyone admired him, so they would support him. Zhang Jiao is the soul of the Yellow Turban Army, so in Zhang Yan When Jiao was alive, the Yellow Turban Army swept across most of the world, but Zhang Jiao meant that his younger brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were not as capable as his brother, and the Yellow Turban Army fell apart immediately, and it was a group of big bosses gathered together , and was quickly defeated one by one by the imperial army.

The same is true for these generals under Zhang Yan's command. They also have their own teams. Every time Zhang Yan sends troops, he trusts them and their teams.Just like the army that Bai Rao will be dispatched this time, they are all brought out by his old subordinates along the way. The old generals of Bai Rao, Tao Sheng, and Yu Du under Zhang Yan's command are all like this, so Bai Rao is the ten thousand The soul of the rest of the troops is Xu Huang's superb martial arts skills, and he directly beheaded Bai Rao under the horse. As soon as Bai Rao died, the army died when they saw the general, and the morale of the army immediately collapsed. Xu Huang immediately shouted the principle of surrender and not killing The army of more than ten thousand did not resist much, so they should run and surrender.

When Zhang Yan and Sima Lang learned that Xu Huang was in ambush, they killed all of Bai Rao's ten-thousand-strong army, and killed him angrily. Bai Rao was Zhang Yan's team member when he started his family, and his confidant invaded his brothers. Zhang Yan immediately ordered troops to attack Xu Huang, especially Sima Lang, his injuries were just healed, and he almost vomited blood in anger. Sima Lang immediately took off the situation. The situation was not good. Ma, Cao Jun's already sluggish momentum has risen again.

Sima Lang didn't know why he was so angry. The more he should be calm at this moment, Sima Lang first thought, even if Xu Huang and Cao Ren join forces now, there are too many troops on their side. If Cao Ren wants to take down his side, There is a high probability that they will attack their own grain and grass. Sima Lang immediately sent people to strengthen the guards of the grain and grass camp.

Facts have proved that Sima Lang's expectations were correct. Xu Huang was not in a hurry to join forces with Cao Ren in Hedong at all, but directly inquired about the location where Zhang Yan's army was hoarding grain and grass. And immediately ordered Yu Po led eight thousand soldiers to go to support.

The result was tragic. Xu Huang's real goal was not Zhang Yan's grain and grass camp, but the reinforcements supporting the grain and grass camp. Yu Du was ambushed by Xu Huang on the way to support, and Yu Du was injured by Xu Huang, so he immediately withdrew to Zhang Yan. Yan Daying, Xu Huang didn't pursue at all, but turned back to Zhang Yan's food and grass camp, this moment... It's really burning...

As a result, the food and grass of Zhang Yan's tens of thousands of troops were destroyed. Zhang Yan only carried food and grass for a few days in the camp, and his own army had come from afar. Cao Ren had already had Pei Mao's food and grass supply. It would be a disaster if the food and grass were burned here. Without food, the soldiers would not have the strength to fight again. Sima Lang immediately thought of withdrawing his troops.

But Sima Lang thought again, with Cao Ren's ability, Xu Huang attacked his own food and grass camp. Cao Ren would definitely respond to Xu Huang and come to attack his own Chinese army camp. But after waiting for two days, Cao Ren didn't move at all, but there was a big movement in the rear of his own army.

It turned out that Cao Ren's camp in front of Zhang Yan was just a suspicious army, led by Pei Mao, but under Cao Ren's banner, while Cao Ren himself led the elite, quietly bypassed Zhang Yan's army, and directly attacked Zhang Yan's army. In the rear city, Zhang Yan's escape route was directly cut off.

Zhang Yan's food and grass were burned, and Cao Ren blocked his way back. The general lost two people in a row, and was in danger. Sima Lang gritted his teeth and made a decisive decision to withdraw his troops quickly. Otherwise, when Cao Cao's next reinforcements arrived, the remaining tens of thousands of troops would be killed There is nothing left, and now retreating is the only way out. Without food and grass, Zhang Yan's army is not an elite army. Now that they have nothing to eat, they have lost morale. What Sima Lang is more afraid of is that if these people are in Returning to his old profession, he became a bandit......

Zhang Yan also agreed with Sima Lang's sight, and it was not too late to eat, and immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops. Xu Huang, who had already arrived in Hedong and Pei Mao, led the army to chase after him. Cao Renyou led the army in the north and went south. The leader bravely broke through the encirclement, dropped thousands of corpses and returned to Bingzhou. Zhang Yan, Yu Du, Gao Shun and other generals were all wounded and returned. The worst was Sima Lang. The wound burst, Sima Lang vomited blood, and fell into a coma. Cao Ren took advantage of the situation to attack and took Yangping. The battle for Sili ended with the victory of Cao Cao's army.

After Zhang Susu finished talking about all the military situation ahead, Li Lin was dumbfounded. Although the women around him didn't understand the war, they were killed and injured, and they were all in the tens of thousands.

Li Lin reacted for a moment, and immediately jumped up and said, "This...how is it possible! It's only a few days ago, and the battle report I got the day before yesterday still had its winners and losers. General Zhang Yan and Yu Caoren confronted Hedong. This... To be defeated so quickly..."

Zhang Susu nodded. After finishing speaking, Zhang Susu's eyes were already red. After all, Bai Rao and others were also familiar with him. Zhang Susu also regarded Qi as his uncle. He never thought that he would never see each other again after a battle. .

Zhang Susu said, "Father will send an army of 4 to fight, and lose more than [-] troops. Mr. Zhao was furious and prepared to punish my father. I immediately went to the palace to ask!"

Li Lin asked suspiciously, "You just asked me to go out?" Zhang Susu nodded, but Li Lin didn't know that what Zhang Susu was talking about was not just asking Li Lin to send troops to help Zhang Yan attack Cao Ren, but also more. It seems that there are some words that cannot be said.

As soon as Li Lin thought about it now, he saw that the matter was not small. The lives of tens of thousands of soldiers had already been lost. Li Lin also felt some resentment in his heart. Soldiers!The dead, the wounded, and the surrendered Cao Jun are estimated to be able to live better.

Li Lin scolded inwardly, whether this Zhang Yan can fight wars, is it because Cao Ren is too awesome or you are too stupid, and that boy Boda, I gave him too much convenience, after all, he still has too little experience. He wasn't born in the army, but now that his status has climbed so high, how could he not fall so badly suddenly?
