Chapter 74 The last drink in the Guangling Army

"Sun Wentai is really a hero. It's a pity that he failed to convince this person..."

When Sun Jian angrily ordered the killing of the great warriors of the Fujian clan, Xu Zhao, who was rescued by the mysterious cloaked man with Taoist escape technique, was standing on the hillside of Kuaiji Mountain, looking at the distant Kuaiji City from afar. Behind him, the mysterious man wrapped in a black cloak smiled strangely.

"It's weird that Sun Jian ruined your good things. You still admire him so much."

"It's all the same thing." Xu Zhao sighed and said with infinite regret, "If I could only persuade Sun Jian, then the fortune of the Han Dynasty has ended. I just don't want... a hero like Sun Wentai, who is so stupid and loyal to the Han Dynasty!... What a pity!" After that, he looked up at the night sky and murmured, "I am not filial to my father, and the foundation left by my father has been decayed so much."

The man in the cloak laughed a few times and asked in a low voice, "Does Lord Xu Shao plan to give up his name as honoring his father?"

Xu Zhao, no, it should be Xu Shao who was silent for a moment. Perhaps the world does not know that the real Yangming Emperor Xu Zhao died of illness in Kuaiji several years ago. Since then, it was Xu Zhao's parent-child Xu Shao. In order to achieve his father's long-term wish to defeat Yangzhou Governor Zang Min, an old opponent, Xu Shao has played the role of his father Xu Zhao for many years. Now, due to the appearance of Shan Fu and Sun Jian, two other figures outside of calculations, the power left by his father Xu Zhao has been almost exhausted by Xu Shao.

"Since Sun Wentai conquered Kuaiji, in order to shake our army in Guangling County, he would probably spread the 'my's death speed... When the news reaches Guangling County, our soldiers will definitely be affected. After all, it is a fact that he captured Kuaiji. If you can verify it a little, you will know the truth and cannot be changed... Just take this opportunity to let my father 'rest'." Xu Shao sighed slightly with his eyes closed.

"I wonder what Lord Xu Shao's plan next?" asked the cloaked man.

Xu Shao looked at the cape man after hearing this. After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice, "Sun Jian's affairs made me understand that the world has not completely lost its heart to the violent man. There are still many heroes willing to serve the Han court. If the flag is raised, they will be surrounded and suppressed. Today, one Sun Jian ruined my good deeds, so the next time, there will inevitably be another Sun Jian that will make me achieve nothing.... Grandfather and father have tried their best to shake the foundation of the Han court, which is enough to prove that this road is not a shortcut... This time, Wu County suffered from turmoil. Thousands of officials died because of me. Although they were a little sad, many official positions were vacant..."

"So that's it." The cape man seemed to understand something and said with a smile, "Does Lord Xu Shao plan to temporarily lie on his silence? Oh, this is a bit of a headache for me..."

"The envoy is a headache, so there is no target to attract the attention of the Hanting clan for his sect?" Xu Shao sneered and looked at the cloaked man, and then said to himself, "Wu County is a place where many wealthy families in Jiangdong. Although our army captured Wu County in the previous period, it has not damaged the foundation of those aristocratic families... That foundation is admirable. According to what I see, if you want to get Yangzhou, you must first plan Wu County. I plan to get a serious identity and serve as an official in Wu County..."

The cloaked man certainly understood that Xu Shao was surrounded and suppressed when he saw the rebellion against the Han Dynasty. Therefore, he thought about setting up a new path and gradually undermining the Han Dynasty's control over the Wu County by taking up the important lawsuit of Wu County, and finally achieved the goal of holding the entire Wu County and even the entire Yangzhou firmly in his hands.

"I wonder what Lord Xu Shao's plan?"

Xu Shao thought for a moment and said, "Shangshu Lang Xu Jing and Xu Wenxiu have an old age with me. I want to change my name and go to surrender, so I ask him to recommend it to the Hanting Court on his behalf... Well, I have a precious head worth three thousand gold in the Hanting Court. Just call it Xu Gong. (Kong is the original character.)"

"..." The man in the cloak looked at Xu Shao and remained silent.

He knew very well that although Xu Shao seemed to have lost everything at the moment, in fact, Xu Shao still had a sharp weapon, that is, the unconditional support of the Min people in the southern part of Kuaiji Mountain. Xu Shao, who had the support of the Min people, could still make a comeback tomorrow even if he lost everything today. This is the real reason why the cloaked man rescued Xu Shao.

Xu Shao, who has the strong support of the mountain people of the Fujian clan, will undoubtedly become a cancer under the huge body of the Han Dynasty. As long as he is still alive for one day, the Han Dynasty will not be able to rest assured. Because of this, the cloaked man talks with Xu Shao very politely and respectfully, which is completely different from the dispensable chess piece like Shen Xing.

"Xu Gong, it's a good name... Then I wish Lord Xu Shao, no, I wish Lord Xu Gong the success of this horse..." The cloaked man smiled strangely, and slowly merged into the mountain like mud, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Xu Shao, no, it should be Xu Gong. He glanced at the disappearance of the cloaked man, and then looked up at the starry sky with his hands on his back. After a long time, he let out a long sigh and murmured: "It's really not easy to make a fuck with the tiger! It's good if he loses this time..."

...

A few days later, as Xu Gong expected, Sun Jian, who had not done his best in Kuaiji's trip, immediately released the news that "the thief Yangming Emperor Xu Zhao is dead" after returning to Zhujia Town in triumphantly. It seems that this is a sign that the military bosses plan to take action against the rebels in Hailing, Yandu, Sheyang, Gaoyou and other places.

This is a plan, but this incident has an immeasurable impact on Zhang Huang and others. This time they followed Sun Jian to attack Kuaiji, and I really don’t know how many people would be jealous of it.

I think there are Danyang soldiers among them.

It is no exaggeration to say that the situation of the Danyang soldiers was not optimistic during this period. Although they would win the battle some time ago, in the final analysis, it was just because Sun Jian tried his best to kill the rebel general at the beginning of each battle, which made the rest of the rebels unwilling to fight. After all, Sun Jian had at least seven success awards in those victories.

However, the arrogant Danyang soldiers did not look at it this way. Although they respected Sun Jian's force, in their hearts, they had some or less credited themselves to their victory. It was nothing, after all, Sun Jian's generousness would not be angry with the words of a few small soldiers. However, later, Sun Jian's surprise attack on Kuaiji and his ranks made the proud Danyang soldiers slapped hard by the rebels: In the second battle between the Ren Wujun, nearly 5,000 Danyang soldiers were unable to conquer the military camp under the command of the prefect Xu Jie. Instead, they were killed by Gong Feng, the commander-in-chief of the rebels, and lost to 500.

It is true that Gong Feng is a powerful figure in the rebels, but can the veteran general Xu Jie, the prefect of Danyang, not as good as Sun Jian? Of course not. You should know that although Xu Jie is old and has far less force than Sun Jian, his years of experience in leading troops to fight is by no means comparable to Sun Jian. If you want to blame, the Danyang soldiers were proudly as if they were going to move their eyes to their heads after those few victories. Even the prefect Xu Jie turned a blind eye to the precepts, and proudly thought that as long as they all pressed over, the rebels would inevitably be defeated and fled. As a result, the Danyang soldiers were defeated.

Although the losses of more than 500 people are only one tenth for the Danyang soldiers with a total of 5,000, you should know that the Danyang soldiers have never suffered such losses. When Sun Jian was there, the death rate was always around dozens. Five hundred people, which is definitely a defeat for the Danyang soldiers.

However, this phenomenon is exactly what Shan Fu said at the beginning: Such a arrogant soldier is unbeaten and undefeated!

After this incident, the cautious old man Zang Min saw that his old friend Xu Wei could not take over Gong Feng, who was in the five army stations, so he requisitioned the Guangling Army, which had been included in the logistics army at that time. He led the general Yang Qi to assist Xu Wei. After several days of fighting, he finally defeated Gong Feng, who was fighting for trapped beasts. This time, Gong Feng was unable to escape and was killed by his old opponent General Yang Qi himself. Another rebel general, Liu Chen, died in the hands of a leader in Guangling Army. The leader was named Ling Cao, and was later promoted to Bo Chief.

This battle is undoubtedly a turnaround for the Guangling Army. After all, the two rebel generals died in this battle at the hands of the Guangling Army, which caused some subtle changes in the army.

What does it mean to be proud of yourself? This is called being proud of yourself!

Gong Feng was killed by the Guangling army, and Liuchen was killed by the Guangling army. The rebel camp gate was captured by the Guangling army, and the rebel flag was picked up by the Guangling army, as if the Guangling army had all the achievements in this battle. So much so that the Danyang soldiers only recovered the defeat the day before.

When they learned about this, the black-feathered crows who returned to Zhujia Town were cheering in their hearts, especially Li Tong and Chen Dao, who slapped their high-fives to celebrate, and even the slightly mature Zang Ba and Taishi Ci also showed happy smiles. It can be seen that they really had no good feelings for the Danyang soldiers who were arrogant and domineering after winning several battles.

After returning to Zhujia Town, Zhang Huang and others went to see their direct subordinate Shangguan Chen Qi and congratulated him. Because the camp gate of Ren Wujun was the first to be captured by this brave general.

In addition to congratulations, Zhang Huang expressed his intention to retire to Chen Qi on behalf of the Black Feather Crow, and asked Chen Qi to report to them on behalf of them.

"There are still tens of thousands of rebels in Hailing, Yandu, Sheyang, and Gaoyou. Are you planning to discharge the army now?"

Chen Qi felt incredible about Zhang Huang and others' resignation. You should know that at the moment when Kuaiji was captured by their side, the rebels in Guangling County who were in trouble seemed to be simply a waste of military merit in Chen Qi's opinion. He was a fool. He knew that pursuing the rebels at this time was like beating the dogs in the water, but Zhang Huang and others ignored the merits they were caught at a loss and planned to leave?

Faced with Chen Qi's kindness to keep him, Zhang Huang explained to him the plan of their Black Feather Crow to go to Dongjun and his party, and said that this matter was an urgent matter in their hearts and should not be delayed.

Hearing this, Chen Qi nodded and said, "Okay, I will mention this to the adults later."

In fact, Zhang Huang and the others could also resign from Zang Min, but because the rebels have not yet been pacified, they are embarrassed to disturb Zang Min.

After talking to Chen Qi, Zhang Huang and others left to find Wang Zhuo and Han Hu. Because they had decided to leave the Guangling Army, the Black Feather Crows planned to have a drink with Wang Zhuo and Han Hu and reminisce about the past. After all, these two Du Bosses are the best relationship in the Guangling Army. And when they leave, they may not be sure to come back. For this era when transportation is not convenient, there are many friends who have met the army and have no chance to meet in their lives after they part. If they can't have a good meal, anyone will feel regretful.

The Han army prohibited drinking, but after the victory, the commander who led the army would give wine in the name of celebrating victory, especially in winter, which is more frequent. No wonder, after all, winter is cold, and ordinary soldiers cannot drive away the cold with a thin cotton coat. At this time, they need to drink some wine to drive away the cold. Zhang Huang used to think that the army would not drink wine, but it was not until after personal experience that he realized that wine is actually one of the necessary supplies in the army, because it can drive away the cold and can enhance courage.

Sure enough, when Zhang Huang and others found Wang Zhuo and Han Hu, Mr. Zang Min had already issued an order to celebrate the recent victory: one was to celebrate the successful attack on Kuaiji and successfully captured and killed the rebel leader Xu Zhao; the other was to celebrate the nail in Renwu Army's garrison that the nail was finally removed.

It is worth mentioning that Mr. Zang Min didn't know what his plan was to promote the Black Feather Crow, especially Zhang Huang and Shan Fu. It was said that the Ren Wujun Tun could pacify so quickly, and that Zhang Huang attacked Shen Xing at night and successfully killed the rebel commander; it was said that Sun Jian would go to attack Kuaiji and was entirely due to the clever plan offered by Shan Fu.

In short, Mr. Zang Min tried to hold the black feathered crows to the higher ground. This was called the black feathered crows and was not only a little nervous.

"Is it because the old man is looking too aggressive these days and intends to 'promote' us'?" Li Tong timidly expressed his random guesses. However, the Black Feather Crow brothers unanimously rolled their eyes and despised them.

"He is the governor and the chief official of a state. What are you? He is just a pawn, and he still needs someone to praise you?"

"That is, it's obvious that the old man is planning to promote his reputation for us... Xuan Gao, what do you think?"

"I think my uncle may be planning to reuse us..."

"I think so too. After all, the boss killed Shen Xing, and the military advisor came up with a brilliant plan to attack Kuaiji for them. These old men of the Zang family may all see it... It's a pity that we have to leave."

In addition to Li Tong, Chen Dao, Shan Fu, Zang Ba, and Taishi Ci all looked regretful. In fact, their speculation was not wrong. As early as when they learned that Zhang Huang had killed Shen Xing, Zang Min realized that he had underestimated these boys, not to mention that Shan Fu later offered a trick to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot. Not to mention that Xu Kun was willing to repay Zhang Huang for saving his life, and his unmoved praise for Zhang Huang's recruitment in the face of Shen Xing, he often said good things about Zhang Huang in front of Zang Min.

Therefore, Mr. Zang Min thought about promoting Zhang Huang, and planned to promote Zhang Huang as a deputy general after pacifying the rebels in Guangling County. After the war, he was appointed as the county magistrate, that is, the deputy position of the county magistrate.

However, there is a problem with promoting Zhang Huang in this way. That is the qualifications. You must know that Zhang Huang has only been a month old and has no reputation and no achievements before. It would be jealous to promote him to a general rashly. Looking at Chen Qi and Xu Kun, they were both from Yin Fu family and had a certain degree of qualifications in the army before they could be promoted to a general. However, a little guy like Zhang Huang who had no roots and no basis suddenly became a general. Zang Min was also worried that he would not be able to convince the public. Therefore, the old man took the initiative to gain fame for him this time. Sun Jian may have thought of a certain level. Given that he had a good impression of Zhang Huang and others, he did not care about the fact that half of the merits of the journey of Kuaiji were separated by Zhang Huang.

But Mr. Zang Min didn't expect that he was thinking about promoting Zhang Huang and others, but Zhang Huang and others had to leave early because of something, and did not expect that there would be an accident in the army tonight.

"Dangdangdang--"

"The Lord has an order, because Sun Jian, Yang Qi, Chen Qi, Zhang Huang, Shan Fu, Ling Cao... and others made great contributions in the battle a few days ago, and specially gave wine and meat to reward the three armies!... The Lord has an order, because Sun Jian, Yang Qi, Chen Qi, Zhang Huang, Shan Fu... and others made great contributions in the battle a few days ago, and specially gave wine and meat to reward the three armies!"

Teams of commanders rode horses and beat the gongs, and sent Zang Min's order to the three armies, causing the soldiers of the Guangling Army to be excited again.

Putting aside Sun Jian was the county magistrate of Fuchun County, he was neither affiliated with the Danyang army nor the Guangling army. Others who were nominated and commended by Yang Qi, Chen Qi, Zhang Huang, Shan Fu, Ling Cao and others were all soldiers of the Guangling army. This made the Guangling army's mood become hot and excited again after conquering the Renwu Army.

"Good boy, you are there!...If Lu Laohu was still there, he would definitely be proud of you."

When Wang Zhuo heard the nominations and commendations from the commemorative officials, he patted Zhang Huang on the shoulder heavily, shook his head and sighed.

Zhang Huang and others sighed in their hearts. In their military experiences over the past few days, many people can be called their teachers. For example, Wang Zhuo taught the Black Feather Crows how to get along with their colleagues in the army; Han Hu taught the Black Feather Crows what the righteousness of warriors is; Xu Kun taught the Black Feather Crows how to attack enemy camps without knowing their own knowledge; Cheng Pu even taught the Black Feather Crows the skill of gun-piercing spirals; as for Sun Jian, although he did not teach anything orally, he allowed the young Black Feather Crows to see what the peak strength of the great heroes gave them a new concept of the peak strength of the world's heroes. But no matter what, Lu Min is the enlightenment army of the Black Feather Crows, and he taught the Black Feather Crows a lot of experience.

"Uncle Wang, it's time to celebrate the achievements now." Perhaps seeing the Black Feather Crows feeling a little depressed after hearing Wang Zhuo's words, Han Hu reminded Wang Zhuo quietly.

"Yes, yes, I forgot." Wang Zhuo nodded and then realized, raised a small jar of wine and placed it in the circle where he, Han Hu, and the black-feathered crows were sitting. He smiled and said, "Today, my brother borrowed the wine that the Lord gave me to celebrate and see you off!"

"Yes! At this time, we just need to drink wine!" Han Hu, the reckless man, could not say anything comforting, so he also raised a jar of wine and placed it in front of the black feathered crows.

Seeing the small jar of the size of a head, even though the black feather crows had a good alcohol tolerance, they couldn't help feeling a little worried. After all, this small jar of wine was just the beginning, and the jar of wine behind Wang Zhuo and Han Hu, which was like a hill behind him, undoubtedly revealed a message: These two "ungodly" Du uncles obviously planned to knock down Zhang Huang and others today.

This is also one of the ways for warriors to get along with each other: drink, drink strong wine, and drink a lot of strong wine!

[drink!]

After looking at each other, the black-feathered crows picked up the wine jar. After all, if we part tomorrow and the next day, it would be hard to say when we would see the brothers in the army again. If we don’t get drunk together, it would be a waste of our friendship.

If you want to say that life in the military is difficult, it is really embarrassing. It is common for you to have wine but not vegetables. This time, Mr. Zang Min was kind-hearted and distributed some cured meat to his subordinates. The pickled vegetables were used as a side dish for wine. Otherwise, Zhang Huang and others would have to sit and drink. However, even if there were vegetables, the rules in the army must be followed. For example, when the veterans sitting with them had not yet started to take off their chopsticks, soldiers with less qualifications could only accompany them to drink.

Now, when Wang Zhuo and Han Hu two veterans deliberately "do not use bad things" to drink wine, the Black Feather Crows drank a whole jar of wine before they could move their chopsticks of dishes. While Wang Zhuo and Han Hu laughed, Zhang Huang and others were burping and their heads were dizzy, and even Li Tong was speechless. As for Shan Fu, after drinking half a jar, he begged for mercy and surrender, which caused laughter from the soldiers of Guangling nearby.

"Haha, have fun!...Eat vegetables and drink!" The loyalty of the warrior is really understandable. When Zhang Huang and Han Hu were hostile to each other, they never thought that they would sit down and drink like this one day, and the atmosphere was so hot and harmonious.

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere was even more enjoyable. However, at this moment, a discordant voice sounded behind Zhang Huang and others.

"Boy, are you Zhang Huang?"

“…”

The Guangling soldiers in the circles near Zhang Huang, including Wang Zhuo and Han Hu, all put down the wine in their hands at the same time and frowned at the obviously unkind Danyang soldiers behind Zhang Huang. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
