"Brother! Brother! Brother..." Zuo Aoran called again and again.
Liu Bei was awakened from the shock by Zuo Aoran's call. He quickly looked at Zuo Aoran who was pulling him and said, "Why do you call me brother?"
"Are these soldiers enough?" Zuo Aoran asked.
"Enough! Enough! Enough! Completely enough!" Liu Bei pulled Zuo Aoran aside and asked in a low voice: "Brother Yunlong! Please tell me how many soldiers and horses you have now.
Do you have it in hand?"
Zuo Aoran laughed and said: "Let me do the math first! There are now more than a hundred large and small camps in the Taihang Mountains, with as many as five thousand soldiers, as few as three thousand soldiers, and there are probably two hundred thousand more! Huh? Luoyang
There are still more than 100,000 soldiers who have surrendered to Dong Zhuo, more than 30,000 soldiers in Zuojia County, more than 50,000 soldiers in Yuyang, more than 20,000 soldiers in Hanoi, about 100,000 regular soldiers in Bingzhou, and county soldiers in various counties.
There are about 50,000, and Guan Hai's Yellow Turban surrender army also has more than 50,000 soldiers to fight. Recently, I am recruiting soldiers for the field, and I can probably get 100,000. With such a rough calculation, there are 700,000 soldiers.
Oh, oh! It’s not like I don’t know, but I actually have so many soldiers!”
When Liu Bei was in shock, Jiang Yiqu ran in and said: "My lord, we have thirty thousand soldiers, ready to go out with Uncle Liu at any time."
"Okay!" Zuo Aoran took Liu Bei's hand and said, "Brother, you can go ahead. I will lead the army and follow you!"
Liu Bei saluted and said: "Brother, I thank Yunlong on behalf of the people of Xuzhou." Zuo Aoran turned sideways and only accepted Liu Bei's half salute. Then Zuo Aoran led all the civil and military personnel to escort Liu Bei out, ten miles away.
After returning home, Liu Bei led his army to rescue Xuzhou.
After sending Liu Bei away, Zuo Aoran got angry for the second time in his life, scolded all the civil and military personnel, and demoted Tian Feng to three ranks and halved his salary. The reason was for no other reason than that Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, which was such a big deal.
But they didn’t know that Tian Feng was in charge of intelligence from all over the place. The extra crime was that Tian Feng failed to report the information, concealed the war in Xuzhou, and even ignored his colleague Chen Deng! Chen Deng’s letters were
Tian Feng suppressed it and did not report it to Zuo Aoran!
Angry, Zuo Aoran would not delay the official business. After scolding Tian Feng, he still appointed him as the military advisor to accompany the army. Zuo Aozu (Huang Zu), who had been transferred back early in the morning, was the general vanguard of the four routes.
Early in the morning, Liu Hu, Zuo Chun (Zhang Chun), and Gao Huai were transferred back to their side to serve as the vanguard officers of the fourth route together with Xian Yufu. Yan Rou was transferred to Hangu Pass as the guard general.
Zuo Aoran personally led 30,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry, a total of 50,000 troops, and marched toward Xuzhou in a mighty manner. The accompanying generals included Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Samoko, Ju Hu, Jiang Yiqu, Zhang Rong, and Zhang Xu.
, Ma Sheng, Yang Ming, Wang Xiong, Li Bao, Zhang Tai, Diao Linxiang and other generals, Xing Lie, Murong Ping are the grain and grass transport officers. (Let me explain in advance, Liu Quan exchanged for Hulao Pass Jiang Yiqu, Zhu Ci exchanged for Sishui Gate Guard
I’ve explained it before, so I’m sorry to add it now!)
The rest of the remaining generals such as Dianjie, Ouyang Lie, Shen Yi, Shen Dan, Chang Diao, Zeng Xuan, Su Yong, Chen Tai, etc. were all stationed at various passes and dangerous areas. Liao Li was in charge of military affairs, Hua Xin assisted from the side, and Ju Shi was in charge.
In charge of civil affairs, Zao Zhi presided over the affairs of the field, renamed Gaotanglong, Gaoping, Wu Ba led the army to meet Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao's army, and presided over the relocation affairs, and asked Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao to each lead 500 young soldiers to wait in Jibei.
The army gathers.
Zuo Aoran led his army out of Huguan and entered Yuan Shao's Jizhou territory. They passed through Wei County, passed through Neihuang County, and reached Jibei Guolu County on the border of Chongzhou. They arrived at the Yellow River. After crossing the Yellow River, they arrived.
After arriving in Jinan, Zuo Aoran first sent soldiers to find the small camp of Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao, lured the two men and soldiers over, and after meeting with them, they began to cross the river.
Zuo Aozu (Huang Zu), the vanguard officer of the Fourth Army General Seal, led the three vanguards Liu Hu, Zuo Chun (Zhang Chun), and Gao Huai. They had already crossed the river. The vanguards had gone ahead, and the ships for the follow-up army to cross the river had been prepared.
.
Build a bridge.
Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Shamoke and Juhu were the first echelon to cross the river. Wang Xiong, Zhang Rong, Zhang Xu and Yang Ming were the second echelon to cross the river. Zuo Aoran was accompanied by Tian Feng, Guan Hai and Pei Yuan.
The third echelon crossed the river, followed by Ma Sheng, Jiang Yiqu, Li Bao, Zhang Tai, Diao Linxiang, etc. The last ones to cross the river were Xing Lie and Murong Ping, who were escorting grain and grass.
As soon as Zuo Aoran reached the middle of the river, he heard a loud noise not far to the right of the landing on the other side of the river. Zuo Aoran didn't know why, and he was afraid that an ambush would take advantage of the half-crossing, so he hurriedly ordered the boatman to cross the river quickly.
Zuo Aoran wanted to find out who was the ambitious one who dared to attack Tai Sui!
But Zuo Aoran didn't know that someone had already taken action here and suffered a big loss. The first batch of the first echelon led by Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Shamoke, and Ju Hu had already begun to gather not far away to cross the river.
, as soon as the second echelon led by Wang Xiong, Zhang Rong, Zhang Xu, and Yang Ming landed ashore, they found a small sentry horse coming not far to the right. Zhang Xu, Wang Xiong had always been Zuo Aoran.
Zhang Rong and Yang Ming proposed to lead troops there to have a look, but they did not agree, so only Zhang Rong and Yang Ming led more than a hundred soldiers to go.
The small sentry here has only fifteen people in total, and they are all wounded soldiers and generals. Each of them is injured. They are not dressed like soldiers, but more like bandits. One of them is even used.
He was carried on a simple stretcher, and it looked like the injury was serious!
Zhang Rong and Yang Ming didn't care about Zhang Rong here. He led his troops and rushed over. Zhang Rong pointed with his halberd and asked: "Where did you come from? We are wounded and defeated. I didn't see your home."
Is the army marching? Let me tell you! This is Marshal Zuo's Zuo family army. Get away quickly and don't look at us in disgust!"
"Zuo Jiajun?! Are you subordinates of Marshal Zuo Aoran? Hehe! Okay! I didn't expect Zuo Jiajun to have scum like you. See if I don't teach you a lesson for Marshal Zuo today!"
The one-eyed dragon holding a big sword shouted loudly.
Zhang Rong has participated in many large and small battles since he followed Zuo Aoran. No one has ever dared to talk to him like this. Ever since he fought against Lu Bu at Sishui Pass, he felt that his martial arts skills were not simple.
Today I saw someone who dared to look down on me so much and even dared to insult me on the spot. It can be said that the anger started in my heart and the evil grew in my courage. In his hand, he pointed out the golden coiled dragon painting pole and squared the halberd, and ran towards the big man with one eye and a big sword.
He rushed over, while Yang Ming stood aside and watched with the tiger's head dipped in a golden spear.
The big man with the big sword was also unambiguous. He jumped up and slashed down the Huashan Mountain with the power of the big sword in his hand. Zhang Rong did not dare to be careless. He crossed the square halberd with the golden dragon painting pole in his hand and heard a loud sound.
With a loud sound, the broadsword hit the halberd pole hard. Zhang Rong felt his arms go numb and his hands were so hot that he almost dropped the weapon. Zhang Rong understood at once that the person in front of him was extraordinary.
ah!
"Good boy! You can still catch my sword without embarrassing you, Marshal Zuo! Let's see how you can take my second sword this time!" The one-eyed man who wielded the sword shouted softly after landing, and jumped forward to attack Zhang Rong again.
.
Zhang Rong was severely shocked by the one-eyed man's sword. Not only his arms were numb, but even the tiger's mouth was bleeding. This shows the power of the one-eyed man's sword. Seeing the one-eyed man attacking again, Zhang Rong felt a little timid, but he
I was embarrassed to turn around and run away, so I had to brace myself and prepare to resist the attack of the one-eyed man. (Generally, many generals are like this, but few people are like Liu Hu, who know the importance of saving their lives and don't have the shame to run away regardless of the situation)
.
Zhang Rong thought that his weapon was strong, and he planned to use his strength to overcome his shortcomings, so he pointed out the halberd. The one-eyed man was not a vegetarian. He turned his body and Zhang Rong's halberd missed. He tried to take it back, but it was too late.
The one-eyed man came to Zhang Rong's side at some point and slashed him with a knife on his shoulder. Thanks to Zhang Rong's long-term dealings with Liu Hu, Zhang Xu, etc., he learned their good skills! Zhang Rong gained wisdom in his haste.
He got off the horse, abandoned the square halberd with a golden coiled dragon in his hand, turned his body, and with a "plop", he rolled over and rolled off the horse, followed by all the generals who rolled on the spot. Zhang Rong originally wanted to roll.
When he went to the side, he didn't know that Zhang Rong rolled down the small slope of Caoke Pond's. What's more, there was a small hole in the ground, and Zhang Rong disappeared without a trace.
