Chapter 72 Want to seize the camp at night

Although Zhu Jun has gradually begun to cultivate his character over the years and live up to his previous sharpness, when he said this, even Zhang Xiu, who was quite afraid of heaven and earth, could not help but shivered and was secretly surprised by the momentum that the veteran in front of him burst out at this moment.

Zhang Ji naturally had no reason to refuse Zhu Jun’s request. That night, he immediately pointed out two thousand elite soldiers and handed over to Zhu Jun.

"General, although Li Meng was defeated, there were quite a few people in the camp. Is it a bit insufficient for only two thousand soldiers?" Zhang Ji looked at Zhu Jun with some concern. Although Li Meng was defeated, the main damage was morale. The loss of troops was only three to five thousand. Although it was a bit damaged, it would not be severely damaged. Only two thousand people went to steal the camp. Once Li Meng noticed it, the loss of these two thousand soldiers would be small. If Zhu Junzhe was here, it would be difficult to explain.

Zhu Jun looked at the soldiers in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. Zhang Ji still had the ability to train soldiers and smiled and said, "This is a strange use. If there are too many soldiers, it will be unfavorable for raids. There are only two thousand people, but we still need to borrow this major general from General Zhang."

Zhang Ji's heart sank, looked at Zhang Xiu beside him, and said with a wry smile: "God, General, I'm the only one left in my brother's family, I'll be the last one..."

"Oh?" Zhu Jun shook his head when he heard this: "If you are afraid of death, why do you have to be a general again? Well, since the major general doesn't want to, I don't want to force others to do anything."

Zhang Xiu was at the age of impulsiveness, so he could not stand Zhu Jun's contempt. He immediately ignored Zhang Ji's eyes and proudly raised his chest and said aloud: "Uncle, please fight!"

"You..." Zhang Ji glared at Zhang Xiu with his eyes, not knowing what to do.

"A real man is born in the world. If he is afraid of his head and tail, what is the difference between him and those mediocre people? His nephew is not talented and is willing to be shot in the palm of his hand to help the country and eliminate the chaotic times. Li Meng is just an incompetent person. How can he let me retreat?" Zhang Xiu said aloud.

"Okay, men should do this!" Zhu Jun smiled when he heard this.

"General, then the general will accompany you." Zhang Ji looked at Zhu Jun with a wry smile.

"No." Zhu Jun shook his head and said, "You still need to be in charge in this military camp. General Zhang is relieved. This general will definitely give you a living nephew."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ji could only smile bitterly. The war was fierce and dangerous. There was no guarantee on the battlefield. No matter how strong the martial arts skills were, a stray arrow could shake Zhang Xiu's life.

But Zhang Xiu's words had already spoken, and Zhu Jun was on the side, so he couldn't stop him, so he nodded and said, "My son should act carefully. Follow General Zhu's orders in everything, don't be reckless..."

"Uncle." Zhang Xiu looked at Zhang Ji with a wry smile: "My nephew is going to rob the camp rather than traveling far away."

"Okay, General Zhang doesn't have to worry too much, I have to worry about it!" Zhu Jun had already turned over and waved his hand. The soldiers who came with him handed a big gun into his hands. This was Zhu Jun's weapon, named Yalin, which was cast by a famous craftsman of modern iron. In the early years, Zhu Jun was also a powerful general in the Eastern Han Dynasty before he was in a high position. However, as his status grew higher and older, he lived up to his previous courage, but he was not weaker than others.

Zhang Xiu turned over and followed Zhu Jun. The two thousand men quickly disappeared into the boundless night under the leadership of the two.

...

On the other hand, not long after Li Meng fled back to the camp, the defeated troops returned to the camp one after another, and joined the army to earn wages. Most of the army's food and grass gathered here. Therefore, after these defeated troops escaped, they eventually returned to the camp.

Li Meng took a little attention and found that more than 3,000 soldiers were lost in this battle. In addition to the wounded soldiers, the casualties had exceeded 5,000 in this battle. He was even more angry, and he was already unhappy.

"General, our army has now lost many soldiers. Uncle and nephew Zhang Ji's reputation has been greatly shocked after this battle. If we attack at this time, our army may not be able to fight again. It would be better to pass this matter back to the court and ask General Li Jue to send some reinforcements." The generals gathered in the tent and discussed countermeasures.

Li Meng's troops were not as many as Fan Chou's soldiers. Today, he dared to attack for force because Fan Chou was not there, and Zhang Ji was not enough to convince the public. They also had great righteousness to shake the morale of the other party.

Unfortunately, Li Meng was playing with a good hand, but the situation was a bit uncontrollable at this moment. Not to mention capturing and killing Zhang Ji or seizing his military power, now that Zhang Ji doesn't come to cause trouble for them, they will burn Gaoxiang.

When Li Meng heard this, his face was a little gloomy. In this way, wouldn’t it be like telling Li Jue that he is incompetent?

He was reluctant in his heart, but he was even more afraid that Zhang Ji would counterattack. At this moment, he had no confidence to challenge Zhang Ji again. Looking at everyone's expectant gaze, Li Meng knew that these guys had the same thoughts as him, and obviously they were not optimistic about him.

Although this is true, Li Meng still feels very annoyed. Have these people lost confidence in themselves?

"Well." Finally, facing the expectant gaze of everyone, Li Meng could only nod and look at a dark-skinned general among the generals, saying: "Cheng Gang, you will go there in person. Report this matter to General Li Jue and ask for some reinforcements."

"Don't worry, General!" The general quickly stood up and said with a flattering look on his face: "This is because Zhang Ji was cunning and ambushing our army. Our army was ruined and ambushed, resulting in the loss of troops and generals."

Looking at the flattering smile on the other person's face, Li Meng was very helpful. This guy was not very capable, but his mind was clever. He pretended to behave and nodded and said, "No need to delay, you can set off immediately."

"Ah?" Cheng Gang's face suddenly collapsed: "General, can you wait until tomorrow?"

Now the night is already dark, if you are traveling all night, you may not be able to sleep tonight.

Li Meng glared and snorted coldly: "Do you hear that the soldiers are very fast? God knows when Zhang Ji will come. The sooner you invite reinforcements, the sooner we will destroy Zhang Ji, so that we can worry every day. What? Do you have any objections?"

"I don't dare!" Li Meng's fierce gaze was glared and his complaints were suppressed in an instant. Cheng Gang had to say with a bitter face: "I will leave now."

After saying that, Cheng Gang quickly got up, took the war horses in the stable, and left the camp overnight, trying to go to Chang'an. However, he ran out of the camp less than ten miles away, and was startled by the sound of footsteps. It was so late, which army would march overnight?

Before he could even wonder, he saw two horses appear nearby under the night, and obviously had discovered his existence and was coming to this side.

Cheng Gang was startled, turned his horse's head and wanted to leave.

"Where can you go!" A explorer had already rushed to the front, and did not look closely, and the spear in his hand had already stabbed him.

Cheng Gang responded in a panic in a hurry, and the weapons in his hand were almost knocked away. Although he was a general, Cheng Gang was not a war general. He was skilled in martial arts and was even worse than the commander of the army. At this moment, he was shocked by a probe and almost lost his weapon. He dared not fight again. He quickly said loudly: "Don't take action, I'm willing to surrender!"

After saying that, he threw the weapon in his hand to the ground, grabbed the war horse, fell down from the horse's back, and fell to his knees on the ground.

Under the night, the two snatched horses looked at Cheng Gang who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, both of whom were speechless.
