As agreed in advance, Liu Xun suddenly rebelled and joined forces with Zhang Jili, catching Yuan Yao, Zhang Xun and others off guard.
In desperation, Zhang Xun hurriedly came to Yuan Yao to protect him and evacuate the dangerous area first.
If it were just to face Cao Jun's night attack, Zhang Xun was still confident that he could withstand it.
But what is more difficult to do now is the people Liu Xun gathered in Lujiang!
These soldiers and horses who accompanied Liu Xun in the rebellion set fire everywhere in the camp and occupied dangerous positions. They cooperated with Cao Jun inside and outside to plot against the Huainan Army.
In this situation where there are enemies both internally and externally, let alone Zhang Xun, Li Feng and other old generals of the Huainan Army, even if the Overlord is still alive and Gaozu is reborn, it will be difficult to resist the enemy in this situation, and they can only run away.
share.
However, Liu Pi, Gong Du, Zhou Cang and other leaders of the Yellow Turban Army had already received Zhuge Liang's reminder and made defensive arrangements.
They gathered the Yellow Turban soldiers and horses from their respective headquarters and camped in one area of the camp. They cautiously formed a defensive posture against Cao's army and only sought to protect themselves rather than defeat the enemy.
Of course, they will not send any more troops to rescue Yuan Yao and leave him to fend for himself.
Now that the matter has come to this, there is no need for everyone to pretend.
"Lord! Follow me quickly! The last general will protect you from the siege!" Zhang Xun shouted angrily, swung his sword to kill a Cao soldier who came to kill the general, and called Yuan Yao.
Yuan Yao was trembling all over. He swallowed and was about to escape with Liu Pi, but suddenly he realized something.
He turned around, stumbled, and ran into the tent again.
"Lord!" Zhang Xun hurriedly said with sweat on his head: "If you don't follow me soon, what are you going to do?"
Amid shouts of death and fire, Yuan Yao stumbled out, holding a large jade-like seal in his hand.
It’s the imperial seal!
This was specially dedicated to Yuan Shu when Sun Ce had just returned to Yuan Shu's command from Wu County in order to successfully take over and take back the Sun family's troops and horses from Sun Ben's hands.
The purpose was to prevent Yuan Shu from secretly preventing him from taking over Sun Jian's old subordinates, thus blocking Yuan Shu's mouth.
After Yuan Shu's death, this emperor's special official seal naturally fell into Yuan Yao's hands.
"Don't throw this thing away. This is what I need to get to Hebei..." Yuan Yao didn't even wear armor, he just desperately ran to Zhang Xun holding the imperial seal.
"Whoosh!"
Before Yuan Yao could finish his words, a stream of arrows suddenly shot out from the slanting thorn, piercing the main artery of Yuan Yao's smooth neck that was exposed in the air.
An arrow hit the point!
Yuan Yao screamed in pain, his eyes widened, severe pain quickly spread from his neck to his whole body, and he fell to the ground in pain.
"Lord!"
Zhang Xun roared, got off his horse, and hurried to Yuan Yao's side.
On Yuan Yao's neck, the blood from the aorta sputtered out turbulently, almost forming a river all over his body.
Yuan Yao's white underwear was completely stained with blood at this moment. His legs twitched back and forth, and he dropped the traditional jade seal that he had regarded as life just now, and desperately covered his neck with his two palms.
Go to that fatal bloody hole.
But the more Yuan Yao moved desperately, the faster the blood flowed.
What continuously spurted out from the arteries in his neck was not only blood, but also his rapidly passing life.
Yuan Yao's face became paler and whiter.
He looked at Zhang Xun with fear and pleading, and grabbed his wrist with his hands full of blood: "General Zhang! General Zhang! I... I don't want to die! I don't want to die! Please save me,
help me!"
Seeing the panic look on this young child's dying breath, Zhang Xun's eyes couldn't help but become moist.
In just half a year, I have sent away two lords one after another!
"Lord, it's okay, you won't die! The medical officer will be here in a minute, he will be there in a minute!"
Although he knew that Yuan Yao had no chance of recovery at this moment, Zhang Xun still comforted him with words.
All he can do now is try to make his child feel at ease when he dies.
Yuan Yao's pupils have begun to gradually dilate, and his whole body is no longer shaking as violently as before. His lips are opening and closing, and the breath in his nose is getting weaker and weaker.
"I want to go to Hebei, I want to go to Hebei..."
In this last hope, Yuan Yao left this world of great strife that was not suitable for him.
Zhang Xun looked at Yuan Yao who was unwilling to die, and reached out to close his wide eyes for him.
Thinking of Yuan Shu's voice and appearance, who had so earnestly asked him before his death, Zhang Xun could no longer control his tears and started to shed tears.
He grabbed the national jade seal on the ground and howled angrily into the night: "Liu Xun! If I don't kill you in this life, I will be in vain!"
…
Zhang Ji led the Xiliang soldiers and cooperated with Liu Xun inside and outside. They killed all parties in the Huainan military camp, which was very majestic.
Zhang Ji was Dong Zhuo's veteran general. In addition to commanding a Xiliang iron cavalry that was invincible, Zhang Ji's martial arts skills were unparalleled.
He took the lead, clashing in the Huainan army formation, wielding his spear like a dragon, and almost defeated the enemy in three groups.
A captain of the Huainan Army came up to Zhang Ji, but Zhang Ji suddenly exerted his force and let the war spear cut across the neck of the captain of the Huainan Army, splitting the opponent's neck and head into two parts.
Using a spear instead of a sword, his ability is so strong.
The head flew into the sky, and soon fell down again, rolling to the side.
"Who else!"
The bloody nature of Zhang Ji's people in Liangzhou was completely aroused at this moment, and the murderous nature that he had followed Dong Zhuo in his conquests from all directions was also aroused at this moment.
Under such intimidation, the surrounding Huainan army retreated hastily, and no one dared to step forward to face it.
At this moment, a group of Liu Xun's soldiers and horses also came from the rear and dispersed the Huainan army. The two groups of soldiers and horses reunited and continued to defend against the enemy.
Although Zhang Ji had never met Liu Xun before, Liu Xun's troops deliberately set up many large banners, which were particularly conspicuous under the firelight. Zhang Ji's troops and horses had also been ordered to arrive in advance, so the two sides were
There really were no major misunderstandings or conflicts... Even if there were some sporadic ones, they were nothing in the eyes of the two generals.
"Liu Xun has met General Zhang! The general is brave and brave, and his reputation is well-deserved! I admire him, I admire him!"
Zhang Ji laughed loudly, shook his head and said: "General Liu is very complimentary. I have heard for a long time that General Liu is the number one general in Huainan, and he and Sikong are old acquaintances. Now that General Liu has surrendered to Sikong, it is really like a thief going to Yin.
Han Xin has returned to Han Dynasty!"
After the two said this, they both laughed.
After Zhang Jile finished his music, he immediately said: "General Liu, what should you and I do next?"
Liu Xun looked around and said: "Although most of the Huainan Army has been defeated, the troops and horses in Jiujiang are still in charge of Zhang Xun, Li Feng and other senior generals, leaving others alone. Zhang Xun is in our Huainan Army."
Zhong Yi is right, his reputation is only weaker than mine, but he is a powerful enemy! If this person is not eliminated, the old army in Jiujiang County will not be able to be completely subdued by Cao Gong! The last general is familiar with the Huainan army, so he will lead his own troops and crusade.
Zhang Xun, while gathering the Huainan army for Sikong!"
Zhang Ji thought for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said: "General Liu's words...are very true! I will also give you a helping hand."
Liu Xun said hurriedly: "General Zhang, don't be anxious, there are still two major things that require the general's help."
Zhang Jidao: "General Liu has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Liu Xun said righteously: "Liu Pi and the Yellow Turban Army from Gongdu are defending their camp at the moment and have not come to rescue them. Although their troops and horses are not strong in combat, they still number in the tens of thousands and cannot disappear. To deal with Zhang Xun
, one general is enough! But the Yellow Turban Army still needs the help of the Xiliang Army under the general to defeat them."
Zhang Ji laughed loudly when he heard this: "This is easy. Last time I fought against those Yellow Turbans. They were quite numerous, but they were just a mob. With my own Xiliang cavalry, if I wanted to destroy them, I would not be able to defeat them."
It’s something that can be easily captured... Let’s talk about the second thing!”
Liu Xun glanced around and said: "There is another matter, which is quite sensitive. I have asked the general to go there in person, so I cannot tell others."
Seeing how mysterious Liu Xun was, Zhang Ji immediately became interested.
"What does General Liu mean by this? What is such a big deal that requires such caution?"
Liu Xun whispered: "General Zhang doesn't know something. The most precious treasure of our Han Dynasty, the Jade Seal, was taken away from Luoyang by Sun Jian, and then Sun Ce presented it to Xun's late master, the Empress General Yuan Gong! The Empress General passed away.
, this national treasure was pocketed by Yuan Yao... After asking around, Yuan Yao found that this item was stored in the family of the late Gong Yuan, and it is said that it was kept by Feng, the concubine of the later general."
Zhang Xun's words are pure bullshit, as the imperial seal is clearly in Yuan Yao's own hands.
But Zhang Ji perked up after hearing this.
"Where are Yuan Shu's family members now?"
Liu Xun pointed to the camp at the rear and said: "The general's widow and family are all in a small camp in the rear camp. The general has sent people to take care of them, but there is no time to investigate and ask for them. Moreover, it is said that the national jade seal is
The important weapon of the country, the general dare not make too much publicity, lest the news spread out, which will be detrimental to Cao Sikong. Moreover, General Zhang should personally pick up the merits and hand it over to Cao Sikong. This can be regarded as the first surrender to Cao Sikong.
, I hope the general will accept it as a small gift to form a friendship with General Zhang."
When Zhang Ji heard this, he almost burst out of joy.
I don’t know what’s going on recently. Yan Xing wants the credit to go to him, and Liu Xun also wants the credit to himself. Is this because of his bad luck?
It seems that there are still many good people in the world.
Zhang Xun swallowed softly, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, General Liu, for your kindness. I will definitely repay you in the future! If you entrust me with something in the future, Zhang will definitely not say anything!"
Liu Xun hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare! I just ask General Zhang to say a few nice words to me in front of Cao Sikong in the future. This matter is confidential. General, go to the back camp to get the national jade seal. Remember to be cautious and don't say too much."
Lead the troops and generals to prevent people from talking too much."
Zhang Ji nodded vigorously when he heard this and said: "Don't worry, General Liu, I will take care of this naturally."
After Zhang Ji made up his mind, he immediately called his deputy general of the Xiliang Army and asked him to lead his troops to attack the Yellow Turban camp in Runan and deal with Liu Pi and others. Zhang Ji himself led the troops
An elite group of confidantes with about thirty riders rushed straight to the place Liu Xun pointed out for him.
To seize the jade seal that Liu Xun said was not in fact in the hands of Yuan Shu's family.
