The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 4 Chapter 160: Old Moon on the Dune Terrace (15)

Although Guangzong was broken, Zhang Jiaokui fled at night, and Huangfu Songdian sent three armies to chase after him with all his elite horsemen. www.{dyzww.{网{m{//Visit and download txt novels//After chasing it in the middle of the night, after dawn, all the cavalrymen came back in succession, saying: "I can't find anything."

Huangfu Song sighed and said, "Although Guangzong is broken, he has not won the head of the canal, so he cannot be regarded as a complete success." In front of the generals, there was a concern that he did not say. Just like Xu Rong said a few days ago, he I was very worried that when they learned that Guangzong City had broken down and received Zhang Jiao, the Yellow Turbans who went down to Quyang would abandon Jizhou and go west and north into Bing and Liang. He thought in his heart: "Guangzong was killed in a **** and hard battle. The soldiers should have rested for a few days, but in order to prevent the thieves of Quyang from fleeing north, it seems that they must go north and attack Quyang as soon as possible."

After checking all the generals, I saw that there were two missing, but Xu Rong and Xin Ai did not return.

When the generals heard this, they all comforted Huangfu Song, saying that the two of them might have found Zhang Jiao's trace, so they did not return. Huangfu Song couldn't help but look forward to it. When it was almost noon, the guard of Yuanmen came to report happily: "Report, Xu Rong is back!"

All the generals in the tent were waiting for news, and when they heard the news, they immediately became noisy. The clan member asked anxiously, "Can you hold Zhang Jiao?"

"I saw a man in yellow on his horse, and I saw a nine-segment staff on his horse."

The clan member was overjoyed, and said to Huangfu Song: "Among the thieves, there is only one person wearing a yellow robe and holding a nine-segmented scepter, that is Zhang Jiao! All the knights found nothing, but unexpectedly Zhang Jiao was caught by Xu Rong and stood there. Such great work."

Dong Min, Niu Fu and others were present, and they looked at each other with complicated eyes. They were glad that Xu Rong had won face and could erase the humiliation of the headquarters because of Li Jue and Guo Si's humiliation. They were also jealous that Xu Rong was a foreigner who With their Liangzhou iron cavalry, they made great contributions.

Huangfu Song was also overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Quickly pass him on to the account!"

Not long after, Xu Rong was armed with a sword and took one person into the tent. The man was wearing a yellow robe, and his head was downcast.

Although Ran heard that Xu Rong had caught Zhang Jiao, he was inevitably a little restless before seeing the real person. At this time, seeing the real person, Huangfu Song's heart fell, and he said happily: "Okay, good, good! Xu Jun worked hard. Zhang Jiao , the head of the thief, if he escapes, it will be like the king's words: The next Quyang thief will most likely abandon the west of the city and escape in the north. If so, the frontier will be in chaos. You relieve me of a big worry! !"

Xu Rong knelt down on the ground, bowed his head and said, "I'm ashamed of the clerk, although I got this person, it's not Zhang Jiao."

Huangfu Song was stunned and said, "But not Zhang Jiao?"

The clan member asked in amazement: "The yellow robe bearer is the only one in the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Jiao, not Zhang Jiao, but who is he?"

"After the subordinate left the camp, he thought that Quyang was in the north, and Zhang Jiao was in a hurry to escape, so he would go north in a hurry, so he led his headquarters to chase north, and because he guessed that Zhang Jiao would not take the road, he left the camp. I brought a local guide in front of me, looking for a hidden path, twenty miles away from the city, and found that this man had fled north with dozens of cavalry. At first, I thought he was Zhang Jiao. I found out that this person is not like the person in the painting given by the general, and when I cross-examined him, I found out that Zhang Jiao was seriously ill, and this person was Zhang Jiao's substitute."

Xu Rong said, causing the man to raise his head. From the perspective of everyone, it is indeed not like the person in the painting, not Zhang Jiao.

Huangfu Song couldn't help being disappointed, and the clan member was furious and said, "Although this person is not Zhang Jiao, he is Zhang Jiao's substitute, and the crime is unforgivable. General, kill him!" Huangfu Song nodded and agreed with the clan member. Please. The soldiers outside the tent came in and pulled the man out to behead him.

Xu Rong didn't get Zhang Jiao, everyone was disappointed, but Xun Zhen was pleasantly surprised, he thought: "It turns out that Zhang Jiao's serious illness is not a rumor but the truth. The only one who has not returned from the ministries is Yulang, and Xu Rong has not received the real Zhang Jiao. Jiao and Yulang haven’t returned yet, will it?” Unconsciously, he looked at Xu Rong, and thought, “Last night, the general dispatched various cavalry troops, and many generals and colonels arrested Zhang Jiao, but the general’s military orders at that time The rush was very urgent, and all the generals and schools wanted to grab Zhang Jiao first, and were eager to get credit. Therefore, before leaving the camp, there were very few people who remembered to bring a guide. Although Xu Rong did not get Zhang Jiao, he was very thoughtful. No wonder He can catch Zhang Jiao's stand-in."

Huangfu Song and the others also thought that Xin Ai might capture Zhen Zhangjiao, and now Huangfu Song ordered Xu Rong to take a seat, holding a glimmer of hope, and waiting for Xin Ai with dozens of generals in the tent.

From time to time, the generals turned to look outside the account, or from time to time glanced at Xun Zhen. Although Xun Zhen was also looking forward to it, she appeared calm.

Liu Bei sat at the bottom of the table, seeing Xun Zhen in the upper seat, calmly thinking to himself: "Xin Ai is my brother's part, if he wins Zhang Jiao, of course he has merit, and my brother will also have merit. Such great merit... ." Very envious.

The sun moved westward, and suddenly after noon, the generals in the tent were waiting impatiently, and the Yuanmen guard came to report again: "Xin Ai is back."

Huangfu Song asked anxiously, "Have you caught Zhang Jiao?"

"I haven't seen anyone in yellow in his department."

As soon as the guard's voice fell, there was a series of sounds of taking a seat from the tent, but because they heard Xin Ai's return, the generals couldn't help but leaned over according to the case, and then heard that Xin Ai did not capture Zhang Jiao, Disappointed, they all returned to their seats, so there was this sound of sitting down.

Liu Bei secretly said that it was a pity. Xun Zhen's hope failed, but he remained calm and calm. Huangfu Song suppressed his disappointment and said with a smile, "Although Xin Ai hasn't gotten his horns yet, since he pursued him last night until now, he is not afraid of being tired, but his heart is commendable, and he can be called to his account."

The guard promised to go out to give orders.

It didn't take long for the generals to hear the voices of people outside the tent. Looking back, under the sun, Xin Ai strode closer without wearing a pocketsun and bun armor and sword boots.

Liu Bei was at the end of the banquet, facing the tent door, and he could see clearly. He let out a "huh". He didn't care about being rude in front of Huangfu Song's seat. A head start."

Xun Zhen's heart skipped a beat, she turned her head to look out, and saw that Xin A raised a disheveled head.

Huangfu Song leaned forward according to the case, and all the generals raised their eyes to look outside the tent.

Xin Ai pressed his sword into the tent, put his head in front of him in a hurry in the eyes of everyone, knelt down and said, "Ai chased Zhang Jiao for half a day, defeated him from riding, and Zhang Jiao killed himself."

"Zhang Jiao committed suicide?" "Is this Zhang Jiao?" "Pick up the head's hair and let me see!" There was an uproar in the tent.

Xin Ai lifted the head's hair and revealed his face. Although his flesh was blurred, he could see that it was Zhang Jiao.

Some of the generals in the tent were surprised, some were jealous, some were envious, and some were laughing.

closure

Many people said in unison: "General, Zhang Jiao is dead!" "General, Zhang Jiao is really dead!"

Xun Zhen couldn't hold back her joy any longer, she smiled and said in her heart, "What a Jade Lang, what a Jade Lang!"

Huangfu Song was so overjoyed that he asked Xin Ai to get up and ordered to present his head. After confirming again and again that this was indeed Zhang Jiao, he couldn't help himself. A piece of heart disease! Gentlemen, although Quyang has not yet descended, the yellow turban has been destroyed!" He ordered Zhang Jiao's head to be placed on the plate and spread throughout the tent, allowing the generals to watch it.

Xun Zhen was originally curious and wanted to know what kind of person Zhang Jiao was. He was able to gain millions of followers with the power of one person, and was embraced by heroes from several states. Once he raised his arms, thousands of people echoed the shadows and made a big man into seven. In pieces, he almost replaced the sky with the yellow sky, but when the head was passed on to him, he was now lacking in interest.

No matter what kind of hero Zhang Jiao was when he was born, what kind of hero he was in the world, when a person dies, everything disappears, that is, he once had a million people, that is, that he almost changed the world, that is, after his death, he His influence has not dissipated, but now, his head is here, being teleported and viewed by the generals on the plate, like a plaything. He pretended to be interested and glanced at it, but what came to his mind was the tens of thousands of yellow turban soldiers who had killed themselves and thrown themselves into the river. The faces of the strong, old, women, and children swayed in front of his eyes.

The moon on the dune terrace is still the old moon, but the people under the moon are different from year to year. Under the same moonlight, how many heroes or heroes have died in this land, their names may be remembered by future generations, but who will remember those who died because of them? Once the success is complete, all the bones will be withered. Even if Zhang Jiao becomes a thing, can he really build a world of great harmony for the common people? Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer.

After watching Zhang Jiao's head, all the generals in the tent, whether they were jealous of Xin Ai or happy for Xin Ai, congratulated Huangfu Song.

Huangfu Song smiled and saw Xin Ai press his sword in the tent, like a jade tree facing the wind, only to feel that it was dark in the tent before he came, but after he came, the tent was all bright, the more he looked, the more happy he became. He knew that Xin Ai was a relative of Xun Zhen, a son of the Xin clan of Yangzhai. He was a romantic person, and it was rare for him to fight bravely. He was not despised because of his inferiority. The soldier took the seat, put it under Xunzhen's seat, and asked him to take his seat. After he was seated, he asked him in detail, and said, "Xin Jun, how did you kill Zhang Jiao?"

But it turned out that Xin Ai went west after leaving the city, chased along the official road, chased after more than 20 miles, and finally caught up with Zhang Jiao. . Seeing him commit suicide, hundreds of yellow turban riders, regardless of the commander and the soldiers, cried and committed suicide. Xin Ai got his head and returned it. This process is simple to say, but the generals hear it but have many layers of doubts.

There are many doubts, and Huangfu Song also has them, so he asked them one by one.

Huangfu Song said: "Zhang Jiao escaped from the city, only Xia Quyang can go, Xia Quyang is in the north, the generals are chasing north, why are you chasing west?"

"Guangzong City is broken and the Yellow Turbans are defeated. Although Zhang Jiao has escaped, he is afraid of our army's pursuit. He will not dare to go directly north. He will probably take a detour and go back to Quyang, so Ai chases west."

Some of the generals in the tent asked, "Why don't you chase eastward?"

Xin Ai glanced at the person who asked the question, and thought he was stupid and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Xun Zhen replied with a smile, and said, "The east is the Qinghe River, and there is no boat in Zhangjiao, so I'm afraid I won't be able to cross it."

The person who asked the question sighed and said, "Seeing that Jun Xin received Zhang Jiao's head, I was too happy, but I forgot about this level."

Everyone in the tent laughed. Huangfu Song said again: "There are also several cavalry units chasing westward. Some take the official road, some take the small road. According to common sense, Zhang Jiao is running for his life and will definitely choose the secret road. Why do you follow the official road?"

Xu Rong was rushing to chase along the path. Hearing Huangfu Song's question at this time, he widened his ears and waited for Xin Ai's answer.

Xin Ai replied: "It is rumored that Zhang Jiao is seriously ill and is bedridden. Since he is bedridden, he must not ride a horse and can only escape by car. The road is not easy to drive, so Ai chased him along the official road."

Xu Rong suddenly realized. Huangfu Song stroked his palm and said, "My heart is as delicate as a hair."

Another person in the tent asked: "If the rumors are not true, Zhang Jiao is not sick, and does not follow the official road, what should Xin Jun do?"

Xin Ai looked at the person who asked the question, and said indifferently: "Most of the knights chasing to the west are walking on small roads. If Zhang Jiao doesn't follow the official way, Ai can't capture him. ."

Although Zhang Jiao has made great achievements, Xin Ai is indifferent. If nothing else, this calmness that is not humiliated or humiliated is convincing.

Huangfu Song said again: "You are not the only soldiers and horses who are chasing westward along the official road. Zhang Jiao escaped early, and all the troops chased until dawn. If they couldn't chase them, they all returned. Why didn't you return alone?

Xin Ai replied: "Although Zhang Jiao left early, he fled in a hurry, and he definitely didn't bring food with him. He couldn't have escaped alone, and he must have accompanied him. Yesterday, there was a fierce battle all day and midnight. When the battle was fierce, he The cavalry he brought with him may not have gone into battle, but he certainly didn’t have time to eat, so he would inevitably feel hungry and thirsty on the way to escape. Zhang Jiao was also ill and could not continue to travel fast. Therefore, Ai thought that when they saw no chasing soldiers, it would be inevitable. They will be a little slack, and it is likely that they will rest in a remote place to hunt for food in the countryside. In this way, they will delay their stay. Therefore, although Zhang Jiao left early, he has no worries. Ai does not chase after him Released, and indeed caught up with them in a certain township. In order to have enough horsepower to pursue them, Ai's team had more than two hundred cavalry, and when he left the camp, Ai only brought a hundred cavalry, one person, two or three cavalry."

"I just heard you say that Zhang Jiao brought more than 600 slaves?"

"Yes."

"Zhang Jiao must be the elite of the Yellow Turbans. Although your troops are also elite, there are only a hundred cavalry, and there are so many enemies and few me. How did you defeat them?"

"After catching up with them, Ai didn't rush to attack, but hid in the distance. When they were eating in a mess, they raided them and broke them."

Huangfu Song sighed again and again, and said, "Yu Lang is wise, intelligent and brave."

The generals also praised.

Xu Rong said in his heart, "I thought I was wise, but I didn't expect that I was wrong from the beginning in chasing Zhang Jiao this time, and I made mistakes again and again." He couldn't help but look at Xun Zhen and thought again, "I attacked the city of thieves earlier. In the outer battle, Dian Wei and Liu Deng fought bravely~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I am chasing Zhang Jiao, Xin Ai is wise. During the war, Xun Jun ordered from the general to attack the thieves and all the bases, and they were all invincible. "

Xin Ai refused to take credit, and said to Huangfu Song, "What Ai Fangcai said is really not what Ai alone thought."

"Oh? But who taught you?" Huangfu Song glanced at Xun Zhen who was smiling, and without waiting for Xin Ai to answer, he immediately woke up and said, "Zhenzhi is a wise man, the Gongda and Zhicai under his account are even better. It's a man of ingenious schemes, and I think it's Xin Ai who they taught."

If it was as he expected, Xin Ai replied: "The servants under Xunjun's account are loyal to teach Ai."

Hearing Xin Ai's words, Xu Rong was even more surprised, and said to himself: "Chasing westward, walking on a small road, expecting that Zhangjiao will stop, these are all things that Xin Ai thought of separately during the pursuit, but it turned out to be What did Xi Zhong, a civil servant under Xun Jun's account, think of? How long did it take from the time the general ordered to Xin Ai to go out to pursue the camp? And in such a short period of time, how could Xi Zhong think so much? Everything is right? Plan a strategy and win a thousand miles. Qi Shi is also."

"Although someone has made suggestions for you, others can't teach you to adapt to the situation. Xin Jun has a big worry for me, ..., Zhenzhi, I will give you a great contribution!" Huangfu Song stroked his beard and smiled.
