When Liu Xun and others saw that there was support from the other side, they stopped staying. Anyway, after this battle, Yuan Yao died, and many soldiers from Jiujiang were also summoned to his command. To a certain extent, it could be regarded as a great victory. It was completely
There is no need to stay here and continue to fight with each other.
After Liu Ye received Liu Xun's notice, he immediately retreated with him.
On Yan Xing's side, he was dispatching troops and horses to engage in a fierce battle with Zhao Yun, preventing him from going to support him.
The two sides were fighting in full swing. Suddenly, Yan Xing received a message from Liu Xun, saying that the goal had been achieved and that there was no point in continuing the war with the other side. Yan Xing and Liu Xun were asked to make peace as soon as possible.
Although Yan Xing blocked Zhao Yun, it was still very difficult. Getting this news was a relief for him.
While he sent people to notify Hu Che'er, he also directed his troops to retreat slowly.
Ji Ling and others were not of the same mind as Zhang Xun and the Yellow Turban Army. Seeing Liu Xun's troops withdrawing, they did not panic and did not dare to pursue them too much, but they could only give up the matter.
It was in this chaotic situation that a night battle came to an end.
…
"Little Lord!"
In the tent of the three armies, everyone set up a court hall for Yuan Yao. Zhang Xun, Li Feng, Ji Ling and others all dressed in mourning clothes, knelt down in front of Yuan Yao's memorial tablet and cried bitterly.
Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang and the Yellow Turban generals stood aside, watching several old Huainan generals crying bitterly, and they couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in their hearts.
These people are also duckweeds who have lost their roots, but they are pitiful people.
Zhuge Liang swung his feather fan, walked up behind Zhang Xun, and said softly: "General Zhang, please show me your condolences. People cannot be resurrected after death. Don't you want to leave a useful life and avenge the Yuan family?"
Liu Xun took away Lujiang County and part of the surrendered Jiujiang Army, but the troops and horses of the Shouchun headquarters under Yuan Shu were still in the hands of Zhang Xun and Li Feng, and Zhang Xun could compete with Liu Xun in Huainan.
If he could be recruited to surrender as a general with equal talent, Zhuge Liang thought it would be a worthwhile trip.
After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Zhang Xun wiped his tears and stood up.
"That's right! Liu Xun the dog thief! Zhang Ji the dog thief! They have harmed my lord and will not die a good death! Xun vows to cut them into pieces to relieve the hatred in his heart!"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said: "It is a pity that Liu Xun and Zhang Ji are both under Cao Cao's account now. Cao Cao's power is now at its peak. I am afraid that the general may not be able to achieve his wish."
Zhang Xun raised his hand and said: "Your Excellency, there is no need to provoke me with words, I will naturally save you some things..."
After saying that, he turned to look at Ji Ling and said: "The only people in the world who can compete with Cao Cao today are Hebei Yuan Shao and Xuzhou Pottery. Although the latter general persuaded me to surrender to Yuan Shao before his death, I know very well the deepest grudge in his heart.
The person is still Yuan Shao... Without the young master, I cannot surrender to him. So, like General Ji, I can only join Taifu Tao to avenge this deep revenge!"
Ji Ling was overjoyed when he heard this.
In this way, in addition to Yan Xiang, Zhang Xun, an old friend from the past, became his colleague.
When Li Feng saw that Zhang Xun had joined the pottery merchants, he naturally joined them too.
Zhuge Liang swung his white feather fan and said with emotion: "It's great that General Zhang is willing to submit to his family and work together to achieve great things. It's a pity that most of the people in Lujiang and Jiujiang were taken to Cao Cao by Liu Xun...Liu Xun was from Huainan.
The number one general is indeed well-deserved. It’s a pity and a shame.”
Zhang Xun heard this and said calmly: "Your Excellency, there is no need to provoke me with words. Liu Xun has gathered Lujiang County to submit to Cao Cao. Zhang wants to join the Taifu, so naturally he will not leave empty-handed."
Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up slightly.
But his face still looked calm and calm, and he smiled and said, "Oh? How does General Zhang plan to act?"
Zhang Xun said slowly: "When we were in Huainan, there were several generals under the command of General Hou who were very close to each other. Unfortunately, there was a gap between them and General Hou, and they eventually became estranged. Now they are all independent in the land of Liangjiang. Their subordinates
There are tens of thousands of people, and now that the general is dead, I am willing to go and recruit them for the Taifu to help."
Zhang Xun's words made Zhuge Liang secretly happy.
Zhao Yun looked at Zhuge Liang's back and couldn't help but sigh secretly,
This boy's ability and resourcefulness are truly beyond his imagination. The master really has taken on a great disciple.
Just when Zhuge Liang was discussing with Zhang Xun the surrender of Lei Bo, Chen Lan and others in Huainan, a scout hurriedly ran into the tent, raised his hands to Zhao Yun and said: "General! Something big has happened! I'm waiting in the rear camp.
, the bodies of all the family members of the late general Yuan Shu were discovered!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xun and Ji Ling almost fainted.
"Liu Xun! How dare you be so cruel! He even killed the old master's family members, but he is still not a human being!" Ji Ling roared and shouted.
The scout said in a low voice: "But according to the current investigation, the family members of the general later were not killed by Liu Xun... because Zhang Ji's body is also in the camp."
As soon as these words were spoken, a wave of waves immediately arose.
Zhao Yun frowned and said to the scout: "Take us to see!"
…
Everyone came to the camp that had been shelled by thunderbolt chariots and followed the scouts to carefully inspect the bodies on the ground.
Not only were there members of Yuan Shu's family, but there were also soldiers from Xiliang and even Huainan soldiers.
Everyone was a little confused and didn't understand what was going on.
Zhuge Liang swung his feather fan, and there seemed to be a clear understanding on his face, but in that clear understanding, there was also a hint of disbelief.
After a while, everyone came to Zhang Ji's body.
Liu Pi and other Yellow Turbans had fought with Zhang Ji and recognized him at a glance.
"It's really Zhang Ji! We still have to settle accounts with this guy? Why did he die here?"
Ji Ling, however, didn't care and kicked Zhang Ji in the head.
"Everyone, you too have today!"
Zhao Yun stretched out his hand to stop Ji Ling. No matter what, the person was already dead, and whipping the corpse was inappropriate after all.
Zhao Yun lowered his head to check Zhang Ji's injuries, but saw that his body was seriously injured by the debris splashed by the gravel, and the ribs on his chest were broken a lot. He couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue.
What a powerful force!
Li Feng walked back and forth among the corpses of the Yuan family members. Suddenly he seemed to have thought of something and hurried back to Zhang Xun.
"General...it seems that two very important people are missing from the general's family."
"who?"
Li Feng stepped forward and whispered in Zhang Xun's ear: "Mrs. Feng and Miss Yuan..."
Zhang Xun trembled when he heard this and hurriedly followed Li Feng to take a look.
After the two people carefully searched around the camp, they found that these two people were really gone.
After Zhao Yun and others learned the news, they felt incredible.
A misfortune that so many people have not escaped... How could two weak women escape?
Suddenly, Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and said to everyone: "Send scouts quickly to investigate. These two people must not have gone far, and they must know the inside story. We must find them! We must!"
