Chapter 107 Worthless
"Hurry, hurry up!" Qian Zhao kept urging the soldiers to rush back. The letter of help from Yecheng shocked him. This time the main force of the court actually chose to attack Yecheng directly. General Huang Zhong was just a side-level army, which shocked Qian Zhao.
He had fought with Huang Zhong several times before. The general of the tiger and wolf was not a joke. Now even Huang Zhong is leading the side troops all the way, so how terrifying the main force attacking Yecheng is.
Giving up Anping means that most of Jizhou has fallen into the hands of the imperial court, but he must not help the siege of Yecheng. If Yecheng is broken, it will be useless even if he repels Huang Zhong.
"General, look!" Deputy General Zhao Rui suddenly pointed ahead, and a hint of horror flashed in his eyes.
Zhao Rui's voice was also awakened by his thoughts. He quickly looked up and looked in the direction Zhao Rui pointed. But in the distance, he could vaguely see the outline of an army. Several miles away, the figures were as small as ants, but the black line was not too many.
My heart sank, I held my hand and signaled the army to stop the march.
This place has entered the territory of Wei County. Now Yecheng is surrounded and there are no other troops stationed around it. This army that suddenly emerges is obviously impossible to be the army of Yecheng.
Soon, the scout rushed over and said to Qianzhao: "General, it is the army of Zhao Yun, the general of the court."
Qian Zhao's heart trembled violently. This was a general who was definitely not inferior to Huang Zhong. Even when Yuan Shao was in his heyday, there were not many people under his command who could compete with Zhao Yun. Now... naturally, there are no more.
At the same time, Qian Zhao also figured it out that this was the time when the court surrounded Wei and saved Zhao, but the target was not Anping, but himself. Now the troops in his hands were Yuan Shao's last family. Once it was gone, Yuan Shao would be completely finished.
After looking around, Qian Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly. It was not that the terrain here was dangerous. On the contrary, this area was flat and not suitable for ambushing troops. Even if the court wanted to ambush itself, it should find a suitable place for ambushing. Such a flat and unreasonable place.
Could it be that it was just a false statement, and the court did not know that it was coming at this time. After receiving the news, it hurriedly sent someone to block the attack?
Qianzhao had a thought in his mind, and was immediately dispelled. It was not less than a hundred miles away from Yecheng, and there was not a place suitable for ambushing. The other party had already pushed the line of troops here. If he had no time to ambush, Qianzhao would not believe it.
Just as Qian Zhao was in a state of surprise, Zhao Rui's scream sounded again, pointing to another direction and said, "General, look over there!"
Qian Zhaojing turned around, and at the intersection of heaven and earth in the distance, a black line gradually appeared in sight. A scout rode his horse and rushed over, and said in a panic: "General, an army has appeared in the southwest."
"Can you know who is the soldiers?" Qian Zhao's expression became ugly. He brought out many soldiers and horses now. No matter how powerful Zhao Yun is, the battle is not based on personal courage. He has the confidence to fight, but at this moment another army appeared, which made Qian Zhao's heart continue to feel heavy.
"From the banner, it should be Zhang Liao's subordinate!"
"Zhang Liao?" Qian Zhao frowned. Zhang Liao's name was naturally not as good as Zhao Yun, but he was also a powerful general in the court. At that time, Zhang Liao also showed his power under the Hulao Pass.
"Landing the array to meet the enemy!" Before I could think too much, the opponent's army was approaching, and Qianzhao did not dare to neglect, so he quickly ordered the array to retreat. It was impossible. The Anping area may have been attacked by Huang Zhong. If he retreated at this time, he might have to face the encirclement of three troops. More importantly, if he retreated at this time, it would be a test for the soldiers, both physically and psychologically. If he was really surrounded by him, he would still have some combat power. Otherwise, he would have a miraculous effect when he fought against the water.
"Woooooooooooooo~"
Amid the melodious sound of the trumpet, the army coming towards us continued to sweep towards us with smoke and dust. He grabbed the hands of the weapon and involuntarily oozed out sweat, and felt an unspeakable despair in his heart.
No matter what the result is, it is unlikely that it will be possible to rescue Yecheng again.
"Look at the north side!"
When he heard someone's exclamation, Qianzhao's expression changed and he quickly looked over. There was a hill in the north, and it was difficult to see behind it. At this moment, he saw teams of Han soldiers rushing out from behind the hill, and the flag with the word Pang was waving in the wind.
Pound!
Seeing this, Qianzhao was even more shocked. Aside from the emperor, let alone Guan Yu and Huang Zhong, these three people should be the remaining generals around the emperor. Why did they all come here!?
Pang De's army was actually the closest to Qianzhao. At this moment, he could clearly see the opponent's military appearance. Just looking at the number, he was afraid that there would be no less than 20,000 people. If the other two troops were added, the 50,000 troops brought out by Qianzhao would have been at a disadvantage in terms of number.
But he saw that Pang De did not attack immediately, but led his troops to form a formation four hundred steps away from Qianzhao's army. It seemed that he was breaking through here.
There was an irresistible commotion in the army. Not to mention Pang De, just looking at the power of the other two groups of soldiers, the number is probably not small. How can I fight?
"Don't be confused!" Qian Zhao tried hard to suppress the panic in his heart, took a deep breath, exhaled and tried his best to stabilize the soldiers.
At this moment, a cavalry rushed in the distance, led by a general, wearing white armor, sitting down a snow-white Xiji horse, holding a silver spear, and in the confusing eyes of the group, the group rushed straight to the front of the formation.
"I'm going down to Changshan, Zhao Zilong, I don't know where the general is? Can you come out and talk?" Zhao Yun rode his horse to the front of the formation. Although there was only one person, he was calm in the face of thousands of troops.
Upon hearing this, Qianzhao couldn't help but frown slightly, but did not set off. Who is Zhao Zilong? He is a powerful general who can still kill generals and seize the flag among thousands of troops. Han Rong once said that looking at the world, this person is hard to find. Qianzhao's martial arts skills are good. Ordinary first-class generals can fight in one battle, and they may not lose. However, even if they face a powerful general like Zhao Yun, even if they only have one person, if they go out and take action directly, then they have only thousands of troops and can only surrender.
It is not that he is timid, but at this moment, he is in the entire Jizhou and the entire Yuan Shao's power, and he will never allow any mistakes to happen again.
As if he knew Qianzhao's concerns, Zhao Yun threw the spear in his hand and caught it with a personal guard behind him. Zhao Yun waved his hand, and the accompanying personal guards rode their horses and retreated more than ten feet apart. Zhao Yun turned his head and looked at the army and smiled and said, "I'm here with sincerity, I just want to meet."
Upon hearing this, Qian Zhao raised his eyebrows, looked around, took a deep breath, and rode out.
"Qianzhao, I have seen General Zilong, and I admire General Zilong's courage and courage. But if General Zilong is here to persuade him to surrender, please ask General Zilong not to speak." Qianzhao bowed to Zhao Yun and said.
"The general doesn't want to know, Yecheng is now in the situation?" Zhao Yun said with a smile.
"Since the general said so, Yecheng must have not been broken yet." Qian Zhaolang smiled and looked at Zhao Yun and said, "I wonder what the last general said is correct?"
"Yes, Your Majesty has not broken the city, but the current situation in Yecheng is not very good." Zhao Yun sighed and said leisurely: "Three days ago, our army arrived in Yecheng. According to the information obtained by our army, there were less than 30,000 defenders in Yecheng, and most of them were new recruits. Our army has a large army of 100,000, and also various equipment assistance. To break Yecheng, it is like taking objects. However, Your Majesty is kind and worried that the people will die after the city is broken, so he did not attack."
Qian Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and looked at Zhao Yun. Since Ye City has not been broken, why did Zhao Yun lead his army here? Aren’t you afraid of the emptiness behind?
"The general doesn't know anything. Now the Yecheng army has been killed by our army and dare not leave the city." Zhao Yun looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "But the general knows what happened in Yecheng in the past three days?"
"I wish to hear the details." Qian Zhao snorted coldly.
"On the night our army arrived, some people in the city were dissatisfied with the atrocities of Yuan's army and took the opportunity to cause trouble and wanted to open the city gate to welcome Your Majesty into the city!" Zhao Yun said in a deep voice.
Although I already knew that Yecheng had not been broken, after hearing the news, Qian Zhaoyi's heart still tightened.
"Although the rebellion suppressed, Yuan Shao raised his butcher knife overnight. I don't know how many people fell to the ground that night. I only knew that the next morning, the river water flowing out of the city was red."
Yecheng has a moat and waterways that can be connected to the inside and outside. However, after the imperial army arrived, Yuan Shao ordered people to block the waterways, but the water flow could still flow out.
Listening to Zhao Yun's words, Qian Zhao felt uncomfortable. How many people would have to be killed to dye the river water red. He looked at Zhao Yun, feeling a little confused.
"No matter how the general thinks of Your Majesty, but Yun Shen once said something, Yun Shen agreed." Zhao Yun looked at Qianzhao and said in a deep voice: "As soldiers, we are not just to serve the country. The sword in our hands is to protect the people, not to suppress them. Yun does not take the righteousness of the court, but only for the people of the whole city to ask the general to surrender our dynasty. Too much blood from our own people has flowed on the territory of the Han Dynasty. After all, you and me, and these many soldiers are all Han people, but now they are going to cut the weapons in their hands and feet for the jackals like Yuan Shao, or even the innocent people, but what is the reason?"
Looking at Qianzhao's expression, Zhao Yun said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has checked the general's past. The general is not only proficient in military tactics, but also governs one side, and is deeply loved by the people. It is because of Your Majesty that the general is not as bloodthirsty and cruel as Yuan Shao. Now Yuan Shao is at the end of his journey, but his atrocities remain unchanged. Instead of thinking about the people, he kills. If such a lord, the general really wants to die with him?"
Qian Zhao heard this and said silently. After a long time, he said in a stern voice: "I'm down..."
