Wang Can led his troops to surround the west, south and north sides, leaving only the east side.
The army surrounded them but refused to attack, and continued to station outside the city.
At the same time, news about Tai Shi Ci, Dong Xi, and Zhang Yun also reached Wang Can's commander's tent. Wang Can came to Shi A and asked, "Did Dong Xi send troops?"
Shi A replied: "Reporting to my lord, Dong Xi has sent troops and is on the way."
Wang Can smiled and said: "A fish is hooked, good!"
Shi A said solemnly: "My Lord, Dong Xi marched very cautiously, and it might be difficult to ambush him. Dong Xi led 6,000 soldiers and sent 300 sentinels along the way. Among them, more than 30 people were to inquire about Wuchang County.
Due to the situation, the remaining two hundred or so people were inquiring about the conditions on the roads along the way, fearing that they would be ambushed. If Dong Xi did this, it would be impossible to ambush Dong Xi on the road."
Wang Can smiled and said: "I didn't plan to ambush Dong Xi halfway. No matter how much he inquires, he won't find anything. Now I just wait, waiting for Dong Xi to rescue Zhang Yun."
After a pause, Wang Can asked again: "How about Chai Sang and Sun Yi?"
Shi Axiao said: "My lord, Sun Yi has received the news that Zhang Yun is under siege, and has led his soldiers to follow him out, but he is still behind and it will take some time."
"Congratulations, lord!"
As soon as Shi A finished speaking, Guo Jia walked in.
Wang Can asked: "What joy is there in being a filial piety?"
Guo Jia said seriously: "Zhang Yun, Dong Xi is just a pawn crossing the river, and only Sun Yi is the chess piece that affects people's hearts. Once Sun Yi moves, it will be impossible for Taishi Ci to defend Jiujiang. Jiujiang will be destroyed, and Taishi Ci will definitely lose.
.”
Shi A said: "Compared to Sun Yi, Sun Ce is the real chess piece."
Guo Jia said: "Sun Ce is commanding the Jiangdong navy, and with the help of Zhou Yu, he will not be defeated so easily. Sun Ce is left to Gan Ning to contain, so we don't have to worry."
Wang Can also nodded and said: "Although Dong Xi has fallen into the trap and Sun Yi has also moved, we cannot relax. You still have to send people to closely monitor the situation of Tai Shi Ci and Sun Yi, and there can be no mistakes." Pause.
After a while, Wang Can said again: "Dong Xi is here with his soldiers, and he is ordering the three armies to get ready and prepare to leave."
Shi A responded with clasped fists and immediately went to carry out the order.
…
Wuchang City, the backyard of the county government.
Zhang Yun put his hands behind his back and looked very impatient.
He stopped from time to time and waited to see if anyone came to report the news.
However, even though Zhang Yun became a watchman, he did not see a single soldier running in to deliver the news. Two hours later, Wang Meng, the personal follower Zhang Yun had just accepted, quickly ran in and said with a joyful face: "General, I am very happy.
, What a great joy. The soldiers who went to Qichun County for help have returned and are waiting in the hall. Please go and have a look."
Zhang Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
He led Wang Meng towards the hall, but stopped suddenly on the way and asked slightly uneasily: "Xiao Wang, how does the sentry look like when he sent the message? Does he seem very relaxed?"
Wang Meng said: "General, judging from the situation, it must be good news."
Zhang Yun agreed and felt completely relieved. After entering the hall, he immediately asked about the situation and was overjoyed to learn that Dong Xi had led his soldiers to rescue.
The sentry who sent the message continued: "General, General Dong led the troops to rescue, but he would not enter the city. He asked the general to lead the army to break out from Wuchang County, while General Dong Xi met the general outside the city. The two armies met and immediately
Withdraw to Qichun County, once again block Wang Can's army step by step, and ask the general to break out."
Zhang Yun nodded and agreed.
After Wang Meng heard this, he lowered his head and kept rolling his eyes.
Zhang Yun shouted: "Xiao Wang, go immediately and send an order for the soldiers to pack up and prepare to break out. This time, we will break out directly from the vacated east gate and go to join General Dong."
Wang Meng cupped his fists and said, "General, I have something to say, but I don't know whether to say it or not."
"But it doesn't matter!"
Zhang Yun waved his sleeves, feeling very happy.
Wang Meng whispered: "If we break out now, we will definitely be chased and intercepted by the Shu army. If we don't wait until General Dong leads the army, all the soldiers will be dead and we will definitely not be able to escape. Do you think this is the case?
Put the time back a little bit, and wait until General Dong approaches Wuchang County, and then we can quickly rush out to join General Dong. This will also increase our chances of escaping. I wonder what the general thinks?"
After Wang Meng finished speaking, he bowed his head with great respect.
"Well, what you said makes sense."
Zhang Yun pondered for a while and said: "Although I have recruited more than 2,000 soldiers in Wuchang County, the force is still too weak to compete with Wang Can and cannot withstand the pursuit. Xiao Wang, go and send the order and let the soldiers pack their bags."
, and broke out one day later.”
"promise!"
Wang Meng responded with clasped fists and immediately turned around and left.
When he walked out of the hall, no one saw a smile emerging from the corner of his mouth.
…
The next day, Zhang Yun led the army to open the city gate of Wuchang County and fled out of the east gate. More than two thousand soldiers ran for an hour, and then a sentinel reported that Wang Can led the Shu army to catch up, and they followed closely behind.
.
When Zhang Yun heard this, his butt seemed to be on fire. He used all his strength and led his soldiers to flee quickly. Although Wuchang County must have fallen, Zhang Yun couldn't care so much. As long as he could save his life, everything was easy. Zhang Yun
He rode on horseback and ran towards Wang Meng and asked: "Xiao Wang, how far is the Shu army from us?"
Wang Meng immediately replied: "About ten miles!"
"ah!!!"
Zhang Yun exclaimed and hurriedly said: "Speed up, hurry up."
The group of people ran for most of the day and stopped only after dark. Zhang Yun learned that the sentinel reported that the Shu army was no longer pursuing, so he felt relieved and ordered all the soldiers to stop and rest.
The army stopped and set up camp to rest.
Although he couldn't set up camp and could only rest in the open air, he still built a tent for Zhang Yun.
Outside the camp, Wang Meng quickly ran to Zhang Yun and said: "General, General Dong is here with the troops." Beside Wang Meng, there were more than a dozen soldiers standing with bows. Although they were protecting Zhang Yun, they also surrounded Zhang Yun.
Got up.
"Oh, Dong is here. Come on, take me there."
Zhang Yun was very excited and walked towards where Dong Xi was.
At this moment, the big stone hanging in Zhang Yun's heart finally fell to the ground. However, the moment he turned around, he felt a pain in his waist. He opened his mouth to make a sound, but his mouth was covered and he could not make a sound.
Zhang Yun kept struggling, and the pain in his waist made his life continue to drain away.
He turned around and saw that the person who killed him was Wang Meng.
The most important thing is that there are more than ten people surrounding Wang Meng, seemingly protecting them, but blocking everyone's view. Especially now that it is dark and hazy, it is impossible to see the situation clearly, resulting in no one.
Any soldiers discovered that Zhang Yun had been killed.
After a moment, Zhang Yun's body went limp and he had no breath.
Wang Meng supported Zhang Yun and walked towards Zhang Yun's handsome tent.
More than a dozen soldiers around him followed him and swept some dirt with their feet, destroying the blood stains on the ground.
Wang Meng took Zhang Yun back to the tent, put Zhang Yun on the bed, and then ordered the more than ten soldiers following him: "This is a critical moment. You all stay here to guard, and I will lead Dong to attack. In the meantime
If any general wants to see Zhang Yun, he will not be allowed in and will be turned away until I come back."
"promise!"
More than a dozen soldiers responded with clasped fists. Even though they lowered their voices, they still had a strong momentum.
