Chapter 90, Interpretation
After killing Song Huan and others, Wen Chou ordered the army to strengthen the camp. At the same time, he set up all the traps on the way, waiting for Zhang Yuan's army to attack. However, it is also strange that Zhang Yuan's army has been delayed. After suffering losses, he dares not rush to attack. Now that the soldiers have no fighting spirit, he will naturally not die like this.
Seeing two days have passed, Wen Chou naturally felt a little impatient. If he waits like this, he is afraid that it will be really difficult to fight with Yan Liang in Liaoxi. If Zu Zhao is allowed to seize Liaoxi at that time, he will always be unable to explain to Yuan Shao. Unless Zhang Yuan and others are arrested and Zu Zhao to give up Liaoxi, so that he can he can return him. Thinking like this, Wen Chou thought that he must defeat Zhang Yuan and capture their brothers alive, but he suffered from the lack of a good strategy.
At this time, a soldier suddenly came to report that he had caught a messenger of Zhang Yuan's army, a messenger from Liaodong County. They found a letter on him. Hearing this, Wen Chou immediately took the letter and unfolded it. It saw that there was civil strife in Liaodong. Sun Du, a small official, planned to take the opportunity to clarify Zu Zhao's forces. Now the situation has been out of control, and Zu Zhao is trapped in Liaoxi and it is difficult to return to Liaodong. There is no mistake for Zhang Yuan to take the army back to Liaodong as soon as possible.
When Wen Chou saw this letter, he laughed and shouted, "God helps me too." He wanted to send troops to chase Zhang Yuan immediately. At this time, Zhang Yuan could not take care of each other. If he chased him, he would have won a complete victory without any suspense. However, a counselor stopped Wen Chou's impulse and told him that Zhang Yuan had always been resourceful. Now Xu Tu has drunk him together, or maybe this is one of them, or it is not too late to let people find out the situation of Zhang Yuan's army first to make a decision.
Wen Chou listened to the counselor's words and saw that the spy was sent to Zhang Yuan's barracks to steal information. As long as he was sure that there was any abnormality on Zhang Yuan's side, he would directly launch a pursuit. Sure enough, the detectives soon came to report that Zhang Yuan's army's camp was still there, but there were only some camp accounts in a conspicuous place. In fact, their army was already retreating and had withdrawn dozens of miles.
Wen Chou listened and ordered someone to press the messenger and ask him if Zhang Yuan had received the information. The messenger told him that when they came out, in order to prevent them from being caught, they left separately. Unexpectedly, they were caught, so the other person must have sent the letter.
Hearing the messenger's words, Wen Chou believes that Zhang Yuan must have retired. Is it necessary to stay now? It must be the army after the break-off. As long as they attack with all their strength, the break-off troops will not pose a threat to his army at all.
Wen Chou was excited and seemed to have seen himself capture Zhang Yuan brothers and Xu Tu alive, and immediately ordered the three armies. The whole army was impulsive, leaving a small number of people to guard the camp, and the rest immediately chased Zhang Yuan's troops. Wen Chou took the army to the camp opposite Zhang Yuanjun. Sure enough, he saw that there was no army in it, but some flags were inserted to cover people's eyes.
At this moment, the detective reported again that two miles away, they found that Zhang Yuan's broken army, about 2,000, was retreating quickly, and seemed to have known the news that they were pursuing. Wen Chou laughed and said bluntly that this time God also helped him, and Zhang Yuan's army would definitely not be able to return to Liaodong. He ordered the army to advance with all his strength, while he chased him quickly with 8,000 light cavalry and let the deputy general follow with the rest of the army.
After chasing nearly three miles, I saw that the front army was retreating quickly. The lineup was very chaotic, and it was not as strict as Zhang Yuan's army. Wen Chou secretly said in his heart that this must not be after Zhang Yuan's interruption, otherwise the army would not be so flustered. He was overjoyed and commanded the army to chase up quickly.
After Zhang Yuan's break, the troops heard that the army was chasing behind them, threw away all their armor, and all the flags in their hands were removed. They fled for their lives. There was no appearance of an army at all. When Wenchou saw it, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Zhang Wenyuan, Zhang Wenyuan, you think you are good at leading troops. What's the use of choosing such an army as a detaining team?" Laughing for a while, they continued to command the army to chase and kill, and their mounts were fast and farther away from the large troops behind them.
A counselor said, "General, we are getting farther and farther away from the army now. If there is an ambush in front of us, we will definitely suffer losses. Why don't we wait for the army to arrive and pursue it?"
Wen Chou said angrily, "You are delaying the fighter plane. When our army arrives, we will have captured the enemy. Hurry up and move forward at full speed. If anyone dares to say such a disturbing army, he will be forgiven.
Seeing that Wen Chou was so angry and did not listen to the advice, all the deputy generals and counselors dared not say anything and followed him forward. After chasing for about a long time, I saw more than a thousand troops of Zhang Yuan slowly retreating from afar, and the food and grass were among the troops. Looking at the flag above, Zhang Yu should lead the team.
Wen Choxi immediately commanded the army to rush over. The army saw Wen Chou commanding the army to rush. It was originally a walk, but now when it saw the enemy approaching, they wanted to get on the horse. However, no one was allowed to get on the horse before Zhang Pre ordered. Although the soldiers were nervous, they could not help but obey the order and could only continue to walk forward.
With the further approach of Wen Chou's army, Zhang Pre ordered to throw away some grain and fodder, but people still couldn't get on the horse. The person who escorted the grain and grass was ordered to immediately discard some special grain and grass, carts and horses, and then quickly retreated.
Seeing that Zhang Yujun lost food and fodder, Wen Chou's army was very happy to see it. It seems that Zhang Yu's army is really fleeing to Liaodong this time. Naturally, those who escorted food and fodder can't keep up with the army. In order to help Liaodong, the army naturally went back quickly, leaving Zhang Yu here to escort the food and fodder.
When Wen Chou's army came to the place where Zhang Yujun lost grain and grass, they all happily split up to grab food, and the formation suddenly became chaotic. They got off their horses one after another and put food on horseback. The most important thing in the war is food. Now that they have food, they are naturally happy. They have to pick up food first.
Wen Chou saw that the soldiers were in chaos and did not stop them. He just led the army that had not disarmed to continue to pursue. Along the way, as Zhang Yu's army left more and more grain and fodder, Wen Chou's army naturally dispersed more power to grab grain and fodder.
In the end, the 8,000 light cavalry led by Wen Chou were less than 3,000 when they caught up with Zhang Yu's army. At this time, Zhang Pre ordered all the soldiers to get on horse and turn back to kill. The soldiers got the order, all flew on horseback, held spears and spears, and killed them back directly. Wen Chou's army did not expect that Zhang Yu would suddenly command the army to kill the generals back, and suddenly they were all in chaos.
Zhang Yu held a long gun, majestic, and roared straight to take Wen Chou, while other soldiers directly broke through Wen Wen Chou's army and desperately killed those soldiers who were plundering grain and grass. Wen Chou's great soldier's heart was in fear and messy, and he had no fighting spirit at all. He was killed by Zhang Yu's army. Originally, 8,000 light cavalry, was killed and nearly half of them in an instant, while Zhang Yu's 1,000 soldiers were only a few injured and none of them died. This made Wen Chou's army even more frightened. Why is this team escorting food and fodder so much better than the team after the break?
In fact, they don't know that this thousand-person team is Zu Zhao's elite light soldier specially given to Zhang Yuan. They have been the most severe training of Feng Luoxue. They are all good players who can challenge several people alone and retreat to open the lineup to compete with the enemy.
Wen Chou's eyes had heavy casualties of his 8,000 light cavalry, and he was also a little panicked. He couldn't help but be angry and quickly attacked Zhang Yu. However, after 200 rounds of the war, he failed to gain the upper hand at all, and Zhang Yu also looked very relaxed. The gun line was not deviated from the previous sneak attack on the camp. At that time, it was completely two people.
"You are a little capable." Wen Chou praised.
"It's also good to ask the general. It's just that your soldiers don't dare to compliment." Zhang Yu deliberately stimulated Wen Chou like this in order to make him confused and attack him conveniently. When Wen Chou heard Zhang Yu's words, he was really angry and shouted and wanted to kill Zhang Yu. Zhang Zhang's pre-gun catches Wen Chou's attack. The two guns intersect and the sound is loud. Even in the middle of the day, you can clearly see the Mars emitted when the gun's head collided.
After several rounds, the two retreated from each other. Wen Chou stared at Zhang Yu and said to himself, "This boy is not as brave as his brother Zhang Yuan. I have to do my best to capture him."
Zhang Yu was also impressed and said, "Wenchou really has the ability to win the three armies. I saw him fighting with his brother before, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful. Every time the gun collided with him, my arm was numb. It seems that you should be more careful next.
The two looked at each other for a while and then rushed to kill. Zhang Pre pulled out a shot, and Wen Chou blocked it. He also returned a shot. Zhang Pre lowered his head and slapped his horse up. One shot went straight to the door of Wen Chou's face. Wen Chou couldn't dodge and squeezed the gun to block it, but it was still a little slower. Fortunately, Zhang Yuan's gun was missed, but this shot was directly stabbed on his pocket, pulling Wen hard. The ugly pocket was picked up.
Wen Chou was shocked. If this was a little biased, wouldn't he die in the hand of this little ear?
"General, can you still fight your head again?" Zhang Yu laughed and took Wen Chou's pocket in his hand, thinking of him for a moment. Wen Chou was furious and took the gun. Zhang pre-flashed by, put his pocket on the horse's back, and fought with Wen Chou with a gun in both hands.
After 50 rounds, Zhang Yu's hook sickle gun was stuck with Wen Chou's general. He pulled hard, but he couldn't take it off. On the contrary, Wen Chou was so strong that he pulled him and the mount for a distance. When Wenchou saw it, he pulled out the sword around his waist and cut it straight to Zhang's neck. He was shocked and hurriedly raised the barrel of the gun to block it. He only heard a sound, and the sword of Hei Wenchou was cut in two.
Zhang Yu took the opportunity to ride back and threw the gun at Wen Chou. When Wen Chou was unprepared, he turned the horse's head and ordered the soldiers to retreat. The soldiers got the order and gave up fighting one after another and followed Zhang Pre to retreat. Wen Chou was expected to chase, but he found that more than half of his 8,000 light soldiers had died, and everyone who survived was injured, while none of Zhang Yu's 1,000 troops died.
"How can there be such a strong army?" Wen Chou looked at Zhang's distant back and couldn't help sighing. Seeing that his army was beaten to pieces, he felt pain and hatred in his heart. He vowed to destroy all Zhang Yu and his elite troops to relieve his hatred.
After a while of rest, seeing that his army had arrived, Wen Chou immediately got on the horse and let the army launch a pursuit. The army did not dare to disothe and continued to chase him with fatigue. After chasing for less than half an hour, I saw Zhang Yu's thousand-person team resting in front of him. When Wen Chou saw it, he immediately ordered people to attack quickly, and he killed it first.
Zhang Yu chased Wen Chou again and immediately ordered everyone to get on the horse. He would not escape forward directly. The plastic surgery was not as stylish as before, and it was very scattered. Wen Chou secretly said in his heart: Ignorant child, no matter how much you can fight, there are only a thousand people. How can you fight with my army of tens of thousands of people?
Zhang Yu's army did not have to return to escape. During this period, he also dropped some flags, which was completely the appearance of the defeated army. Wen Chou commanded the army and forced them into a gourd valley. Wen Chou was about to chase him. A counselor said that the terrain here was dangerous, and there was no Zhang Yuan's army. If they set up an ambush here, it would not be good.
Wen Chou said, "Looking at Zhang's escape, Zhang Yuan wants to go back to Liaodong. How can he set up an ambush here? Hurry up and catch them before they squeeze into Liaodong County, otherwise we will send troops to be nameless.
The counselor wanted to say it again, but Wen Chou just didn't listen and stared angrily. The counselor was terrmented and dared not say much, allowing Wen Chou to command the army to chase and kill. Wen Chou shakes his spirit and let the army continue to pursue. He said that if he could take down Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yu and Xu Tu's head, he would ask Yuan Shao to make him a partial general. If he can capture other deputy generals, he can also be promoted to leader.
When the soldiers heard this, they had some energy and shouted to kill one after another. When Zhang's army heard the shouting of killing behind, they fled for their lives in panic, showing a panicked look.
Wen Chou took a large army to chase in. The canyon was long and thin. Wen Chou's army could only walk in three people, which looked like a long snake from a distance. Wen Chou is not used to it and strives to hunt him down. Seeing that they were about to catch up with Zhang Yu, they suddenly turned their heads to him, and they all had a treacherous smile on their faces.
In surprise, I suddenly heard a burst of gongs and drums all day long. Countless troops appeared above the canyon, playing the banner of Zhang Yuan. I don't know how many people were ambushed. Before Wenchou's army could react, they only heard a rumble behind them and saw the huge stones rolling down and blocking their retreat. Wen Chou was shocked and believed that he had been ambushed and immediately asked the soldiers to open the stone like wood, but after the soldiers tried, they could not remove them at all.
Wen Chou saw the momentum and rushed forward to rush out of the canyon, but he heard a thunderous sound. In front of him, the boulder and wood also came down at the same time. It was four or five meters high in front of him, and the man and horse could not jump over.
When Wenchou's army saw it, they all panicked. At this moment, Zhang Yuan's army threw down countless dry wood and weeds, and the firewood fell one after another, piled up a thick layer in the canyon and stepped on it and creaked.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan appeared on the mountain with a long gun and a long bow on his shoulder. He shouted, "Zhang Wenyuan has been waiting for a long time. General Wen, you have no way out now. As long as I give an order, the rocket will be fired and everyone in the canyon will be ignited, and you three soldiers will die in this canyon.
Wen Chou stared angrily, but he had no choice. He just scolded and said that Zhang Yuan did not dare to fight with him, so he used this despicable and shameless means. Zhang Yuan ignored it and ordered the soldiers to shout and let the soldiers put down their weapons and surrender. Otherwise, shoot arrows and set them on fire, leaving their bones.
Wenchou's soldiers looked at each other in con's face. Some people wanted to lay down their weapons, but they didn't dare. Especially the people around Wen Chou are even more afraid. Wen Chou saw it and shouted, "Our soldiers are not greedy and afraid of death. How can they be scared by your despicable and shameless measurement?"
Zhang Yuan said, "General, this is the life of tens of thousands of people, and it is also Yuan Shao's elite army. If you die here, what will you do to fight against the resurgents of the Yellow Turban Thieves in Jizhou? You don't care about the lives of so many people, but I can't bear to kill them. After saying that, Zhang Yuan told Wen Chou's army that as long as they put down their weapons, they could leave here and would never shoot them alone.
After listening to Zhang Yuan's words, a soldier behind him really put down his weapon and surrendered. When Wen Chou saw the anger, he quickly took out his bow and arrow and shot an arrow. The soldier fell down in response. Almost at the same time, all the soldiers left their weapons and chose to surrender.
"Take up arms, no one is allowed to surrender?" Wen Chou shouted loudly.
However, this time, no one listened to his order. The counselors around him said nervously, "General, surrender is our only way out now. Leave the green mountains without worrying about firewood. We have to hold their lives first to avenge in the future. If they don't, as long as one of their soldiers can't help shooting rockets, we It's all over."
Wen scandal said that he was angry, but he had no choice. Seeing that all the soldiers had laid down their weapons and chose to surrender, he stared and asked loudly, "If our army surrenders, will you really not kill a soldier?"
Zhang Yuan said, "As long as you throw all your weapons in this canyon, you can return to Jizhou safely. I will never kill one of your soldiers. If you still want to go to Liaoxi, then I can only order to shoot."
Wen Chou thought for a long time, looked at the army, and finally chose to throw the weapon on the ground and get off the horse.
Zhang Yuan asked the soldiers to put away their bows and arrows, let the Wenchou soldiers work together to drop stones and wood, and then walked out of the canyon. If anyone wants to pick up the weapons on the ground, he will immediately shoot the rocket, and all his companions will pay for his impulse. Everyone knows that this seems to be even more for Wen Chou.
In the end, Wen Chou's army all came out of the canyon and retreated to Liaoxi under the leadership of Wen Chou. After they left, Zu Zhao ordered people to collect their weapons and hide them in the mountains, and then the army went to Liaoxi to turn with Zu Zhao. Originally, Zhang Yuan received an order to repel Wen Chou and return to Liaodong, but Xu Tu said that Yan Liang went to Liaoxi from another road, which Zu Zhao did not expect, and the detective did not hear it. Therefore, in order to prevent Zu Zhao from being attacked inside and outside, Zhang Yuan decided to lead the army to join Zu Zhao and retake Liaoxi as soon as possible.
