Chapter 240 Three encounters with Jia Xu
Zhou Yiran was stationed in Yanmen Pass and was waiting for news about the sentry.
Zhou is still different from other princes. All the advancers are staring at this newly rising pioneer. There are always people who want to take Zhou Yiran's life. Zhou Yiran must protect himself and consider it perfectly.
Because of Zhou Yiran's arrival, Zhao Xiong was even more closely guarding Yanmen Pass to prevent problems from falling eyelids.
On the second day, news came from Li Jiangshan.
The dusty messengers entered Zhou Yiran's tent and took out Li Jiangshan's letter from his arms.
Zhou Yiran unfolded the letter, which read: Hulao Pass is extremely strong and difficult to attack, and Dong Zhuo is mostly pioneers, and stationed troops at Hulao Pass, which makes Hulao Pass even more difficult to attack.
Many generals were stationed in Hulao Pass.
The leader is Lu Bu.
The plot of Guan Yu killing Hua Xiong will not appear, because the protagonist Hua Xiong is now being detained by Zhou Ran in Zhou City.
Eighteen princes gathered outside Hulao Pass, but they were unable to conquer Hulao Pass.
After reading Li Jiangshan's letter, Zhou Yiran knew that Li Jiangshan meant that he would go out of Yanmen Pass now to put pressure on Dong Zhuo, and reunite with the team, and then think about ways to break the city.
Zhou Yiran remembered his confiscated siege weapon, the crossbow cannon, and perhaps the role of the crossbow cannon will be very important now.
Zhou Yiran had ordered people to pull the parts of the crossbow in batches. The crossbow was powerful, but it was very active and difficult to transport. If you wanted to transport it for a long distance, you had to disassemble it.
The next day, Zhou Yiran rectified his troops and left Yanmen Pass and entered Youzhou. Zhou Yiran saw the bleakness of Youzhou. Many villages were deserted and uninhabited. They were not as prosperous as Youzhou. The destructive power of the war was amazing. Now Youzhou is the safest place in the Central Plains.
No wonder Zhou Yiran's development is fast, because there is no war.
The development of a place without war naturally transcends the region of war in the years.
Zhou Cang's army has already met with Huang Zhong's army.
At this moment, Zhou Cang's army was stationed in Makino. General Xu Rong was stationed in Sishui and opposite Zhou Cang.
When Li Jiangshan saw Huang Zhongjun coming, he had a plan to break the water.
Li Jiangshan said: "Now, only by crossing the river can you break through the Sishui River!"
"Cross the river?" Zhou Cang and Huang Zhong asked in surprise.
Li Jiangshan nodded and said in a deep voice: "That's true. Since Xu Rong is playing a stable military strategy with us, we will accompany you to the end. We follow the example and leave only a small number of people to closely monitor the other side of the river again, just in case. The general can lead a large group of people to cross the river from Hanoi, go around behind Xu Rong, and cooperate with General Huang Zhong to give Xu Rong a fatal blow. Humph! Let Xu Rong know that our Youzhou army does not only know how to defend, but also makes a good attack." Zhou Cang nodded.
Huang Zhong asked, "But, soldiers are very fast, why should we take a detour? Wouldn't it be better to go from the north to Guandu River?" Li Jiangshan said, "Since Xu Rong can come up with a plan to stabilize the army, he will naturally be wary of us seeing through his plan to stabilize the army. The military strategy is full; before winning, you should first conclude that you have defeat. If you know yourself but don't know your enemy, how can you win? Of course, even if we cross the river from Hanoi, we must be wary of Xu Rong setting up an ambush there. We cannot take Xu Rong casually. What's more, the water in Guandu is turbulent, which is not conducive to crossing the river, but Hanoi has a soothing water. The most important place is that the water level is low. We don't have to prepare a boat to cross the river."
Zhou Cang and Huang Zhong nodded. Then they took action according to Li Jiang's plan. Makino was led by Huang Zhong, while Zhou Cang led the army to Hanoi with Li Jiangshan.
In just one day, Zhou Cang and Li Jiangshan came to Hanoi. The army took a short rest on the river bank. Zhou Cang was afraid that people would sneak to the other side of the river to detect the situation while the night was dark.
Soon, torches were lit on the other side of the river. Zhou Cang was overjoyed and knew that this was the agreed secret code, so he quickly ordered his soldiers to pick up swords and guns, lit the torches and start crossing the river.
Zhou Cang's soldiers marched for a day. Although they were tired, their morale remained unabated and they began to cross the river. Zhou Cang personally came to the riverside and tested the depth of the river with his sword. He found that it was indeed not deep. If the depth of the riverside was tested, the deepest part of the river would only reach people's chest.
But I knew that halfway through the crossing, the sound of crossbows in the air came, and the spy who had passed by on the other side had disappeared at this time. Without asking, Zhou Cang was ambushed. The most unlucky thing was the soldiers walking in front. The torches in their hands accurately exposed their positions. With such a distinct target, the mysterious enemy on the opposite side was still easy to capture when they shot them?
Screams came one after another, and the people who were struggling to cross the river were unable to hide in the water because of the resistance of the river. Zhou Cang's soldiers were shot by the bow and arrow and fell into the river with blood, washed away by the not-so-huge flow. Fortunately, the number of bows and arrows was not large, so most of the soldiers were not injured, but they retreated and ran back. Zhou Cang's subordinates scolded the school repeatedly, and even pulled out their knives to stop the behavior of these soldiers. As a result, the soldiers gave up crossing the river and retreated.
Zhou Cang turned his head to look at Li Jiangshan, sighed and said, "This is not the Mr.'s fault. He raised the torch just now, because the person we crossed the river must not be the one I sent, but must be the one who sent someone from the other party's enemy. Don't take it to heart."
Li Jiangshan was grateful and said to Zhou Cang urgently: "General, now is not the time to hold anyone responsible. For the sake of this, we should cross the river immediately. Seeing that the number of bows and arrows shot from the other side of the river is not many people. We rushed over with one go. Although we could not achieve the attack on Xu Rong, we could at least regain the morale of the army."
Zhou Cang nodded, roared, led the way, and began to force the river to cross the river with his subordinates. The soldiers who were already shot by the enemy who was unable to figure out the position on the opposite side were excited by Zhou Cang's brave behavior and followed Zhou Cang to cross the other side of the river, even Li Jiangshan was no exception.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a loud noise came, and the riverbed of the river was violently shaking. Zhou Cang and Li Jiangshan were not sure. When they turned to watch in horror, they saw a huge wave rushing over. Before they could react, they were hit by the wave. It was a dizzy moment. When Zhou Cang and Li Jiangshan came to their senses, they found that their bodies were floating on the water. The next moment, their bodies began to sink, and Li Jiangshan only felt that their bodies were completely lost in their ability to move by the waves, and the bones in their bodies seemed to have been disintegrated.
What was going on? How did that huge wave just now come about? Li Jiangshan couldn't figure it out at all, but he was extremely depressed. He knew that he had lost so much that he was afraid he had no chance to turn around. However, he was convinced. The only regret was that he didn't know who he had lost, and he didn't know when such a clever figure appeared in the enemy army.
I don’t know how long it took, the river water stabilized and the water level dropped. Li Jiangshan had already been washed away and was dazed. He only felt his body being lifted up. However, his back touched a place where he was trying to dryness. Li Jiangshan finally felt relieved. In a trance, he heard a slightly hoarse sound: "You guys wake him up for me." After a pause, the voice sounded again: "This time it was really thanks to Mr., otherwise how could he defeat Zhou Cang's army quickly?"
At this time, someone else's hands had already begun to move on Li Jiangshan's body, of course, to wake up Li Jiangshan. At the same time, a majestic voice sounded: "Mr. Li Que, I just remind you and Xu Rongshanyu. What is really worthy of praise are the brave and good warriors." "Sir, you are so polite."
While speaking, Li Jiangshan had already opened his eyes, turned his head slowly, stared at the surroundings, and suddenly saw someone, and said intimately: "It turned out to be him."
This man woke up when he saw Li Jiangshan and said, "Brother Jiangshan, don't be fine!"
It turns out it was you!"
This person is neither someone else nor Jia Xu, a strategist who has fought with Li Jiangshan many times.
Li Jiangshan and Jia Xu were their own masters, and they had their own wins and losses in several battles. This time, Li Jiangshan was defeated by Jia Xu for no reason, but he didn't think about it and was actually in Sishui Pass.
A real man will die on the battlefield, and he will wrap his body in a horse and wear a body. How happy! I, Li Jiangshan, have no complaints!" After saying that, Li Jiangshan wanted to pull out his sword from his waist, draw his sword and commit suicide.
Unexpectedly, this was a big hand that Li Jiangshan could only feel that his wrist was like an iron hoop being held back, and he couldn't help but look at the stopper, which turned out to be a big man.
The big man's eyes shone brightly and he looked at Li Jiangshan. He said with a hint of trembling in his calm voice: "Who do you think you are? Li Jiangshan?" Li Jiangshan nodded.
The big man grabbed Li Jiangshan's wrist and burst into laughter, his voice shook the whole field. Then his voice turned cold and he looked at Li Jiangshan and said, "I didn't expect the person I was looking for would appear here!" He turned his head to look at Li Qie who was a little stunned, and said coldly: "Mr. Li Qie, I want to take this person away, right?" Li Qie was intimidated by his momentum and nodded.
The man grabbed Li Jiangshan, walked to the front of a war horse, turned over to the horse, turned to Li Que and said, "My Lord Li Que, I will go back." After saying that, he rode his horse and left.
Chapter completed!
