Lei Bao?
Zhang Wu was stunned. Wasn't this the guy who occupied Mount Song with Chen Lan after Yuan Shu became the emperor?
After Yuan Shu's defeat, this guy even sent troops to rob Yuan Shu of his treasures. How did he become a loyal man here?
Zhang Wu couldn't figure it out. Zhang Xun couldn't figure it out either. Actually, Lei Bao was betting on his future.
Now that he had jumped out to be a loyal minister of the Yuan family, if he won, he could obtain Yuan Shu's favor and soar to fame.
Even if he lost in the end, he could use the name of a loyal man to get a good job with Cao Cao.
Moreover, he had easily seized Zhang Xun's military power. The 50,000 soldiers in the city were the foundation for his future.
In a chaotic world, the confidence of a Weapon Master was sufficient.
However, Lei Bao had miscalculated one thing. Zhang Wu's patience was about to run out. Jumping out to prolong the war when Shang Cai was bound to lose was simply courting death.
Moreover, he was standing too close to the front.
At this time last year, Zhang Wu had used his javelin throwing technique to shoot down a flying goose in the sky, shocking Cao Cao.
When he was chasing Dong Zhuo, he had stabbed Dong Zhuo with a javelin, causing half of his face to be disfigured. Every night, he would feel a dull pain.
Not long ago, when the Overlord Spear was nailed to the city wall, the county magistrate of Ru Yin, Zhao Kan, was so shocked that he opened the door and surrendered.
Although the city walls of Shang Cai were high, Zhang Wu didn't think that a third-rate trash could avoid him at this distance.
Zhang Wu grabbed the spear from the flying bear soldier beside him and dashed forward. Zhang Wu then threw the spear.
Lei Bao was originally prepared to say a few harsh words, but who knew that Zhang Wu would attack him without a word. He was so shocked that he quickly shrank behind the wall.
Zhang Wu had expected him to lower his head. The spear was clearly aimed at the battlements.
There was a loud bang.
The sharp tip of the spear pierced through the battlements, causing a pile of rocks to fall. When the rocks fell, everyone looked at the spear and saw that the spear had already pierced through Lei Bo's head and nailed it to the gatepost of the city tower. The end of the spear was still trembling.
Looking at Lei Bao again, his entire head was smashed into pieces, leaving only his headless body struggling in vain for a few times before completely not moving.
"Zhang Xun, I'll ask you again. Are you going to open the door or not?”
Zhang Xun quickly wiped the sweat off his forehead and shouted,""Marquis Champion, please calm down. The thief is dead. I will order people to dig the city gate and welcome you in.”
"Humph! At least you know what's good for you."
Report!
While Zhang Wu was still in a daze, the scout horse had already arrived in front of him."General, the military counselor is calling you back to the camp."
"What is it?"
"Yanzhou's Xun Lingjun has sent a message. As for the content, I don't know.”
Zhang Wu looked at Shang Cai again. The soldiers on the city wall had all retreated. Zhang Xun obviously did not want to fight anymore, so he raised his spear and said,"Return to camp."
Xun You, Cao Ren and Yang Xiu were all in the tent of the central army.
The soldiers around him had been sent out of the tent.
Zhang Wu opened the tent and sat down at the head of the table."What does Wen Ruo mean by this letter?"
Xun You did not answer, but handed the brocade in his hand to Zhang Wu.
Zhang Wu opened it and took a look.
'Lu Bu's army has invaded Puyang. Please return quickly.'
Lu Bu! This fellow really came.
Logically speaking, when Lu Bu invaded, Xun Yu should have sent a letter to Cao Cao. However, since the letter was clearly sent to him, he clearly asked him to return as soon as possible.
Or perhaps it was because Lu Bu didn't have many troops, and the remaining generals in Yanzhou couldn't fight against him, so they specially sent him back to hold the fort.
Either something had happened in Qingzhou, and Boss Cao was held back by someone, making it difficult for him to return in a short period of time.
Zhang Wu was leaning towards the second option. Lu Bu was just an ordinary man, and there were still 80,000 elite soldiers and dozens of fierce generals in Yanzhou. If it was really just a minor illness, Xun Yu would definitely not trust him at this critical moment when he did not know that the war on his side was over.
At this moment, Zhang Wu was secretly glad that he had killed Lei Bao with one shot. If he had delayed for another two days, there would have been many changes in Runan.
"Zixiao."
Hearing Zhang Wu's call, Cao Ren jumped up and slammed the table, as if he wanted to vent all the resentment he had suffered in the past half a month.""Humph! Don't tell me you want me to stay and clean up the mess again!”
"Cao Ren, listen up!" Zhang Wu pulled a long face and shouted in a deep voice.”
This was no longer a discussion, but an order. In the army, the commander was the most important. Zhang Wu was the commander and Cao Ren was the deputy. He had been leading the army for many years, so he naturally understood the change in their tone.
At this moment, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only sigh,""I'm here."
"In the evening, Zhang Xun should open the city gates to surrender. I want you to recruit soldiers from all over the country to shake the three counties.”
Cao Ren cupped his hands.
"Gongda, stay behind and assist from the side.”
Xun You rose and bowed.”
"Dezu, you will set off for Geyang in the middle of the night to exchange for Cao Ang. I will give him three days. After three days, if you do not see him at Puyang City, you will be punished according to military law!”
"Yes!"
.........
Sun Ce gathered up the remaining troops, passed Geyang, and reached the border of Xiapi, Xuzhou.
At a glance, there were only 2,000 remnants left. Suddenly, sorrow came from his heart. He vomited three liters of blood on his horse and fell to the ground.
Huang Gai was shocked and had to ask Tao Qian, the herdsman of Xuzhou, for help.
Tao Qian had always been a benevolent person. He immediately took in Sun Ce's troops and called for a doctor. Three days later, Sun Ce woke up in the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion. He saw Huang Gai standing at the bedside and asked.
"Uncle Gongfu, where am I?”
Huang Gai served him a bowl of medicinal soup."This is Tao Xu's mansion. You can rest in peace."”
When Sun Ce saw that there was no one around, he said," So we've reached Xuzhou. Tao Qian is wavering between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu. If he asks, Uncle will only say that he's resting here after the defeat. Don't mention the matter of borrowing the road." When I get better, I'll go and talk to him myself.”
To put it bluntly, Tao Qian was a fence-sitter. At first, he followed Yuan Shao and waved flags and shouted. Now that Xuzhou and Yuan Shao's Jizhou were not connected, he could not count on Yuan Shao. He was also in Cao Cao and Yuan Shu's hands.
Huang Gai didn't know because he spent most of his time in the army. Sun Ce was different. When he was in Shouchun, Yuan Shu would bring him wherever he went, so he naturally knew some of the dirty things between the dukes.
Huang Gai's heart skipped a beat." Didn't we plan to pass through Xuzhou?" he asked.”
Sun Ce got out of bed, picked up the bowl of medicine, and drank it in one gulp. He looked up at the sky and sighed."Uncle, things are different now! A few days ago, I led 30,000 troops, strong soldiers and strong horses. Xuzhou has been weak for a long time. How dare they not lend it to me? At the moment, we only have 2,000 soldiers, and we are like stray dogs. Once we reveal our strength, our momentum will be gone. He hated Chen Liu and Zhang Wu! Destroying my foundation, I can't coexist with this thief!!!”
"Bofu, that Zhang Wu is nothing. Let's return to Kuaiji first before making any plans.”Huang Gai had been prepared to persuade Sun Ce that Zhang Wu was brave and had no chance of revenge.
Thinking about how he would be separated from Cao Cao's Yanzhou when he returned to Jiangdong, he didn't mention it anymore. It wouldn't be good if he broke Sun Ce's spirit.
