Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 162

Chapter 162 Zhang Yan Wanted to Escape
Along the way, country and huang zhong do is actually one thing, that is to settle the hearts of the people.

Because zhang quan transferred the main force to yin hall city, to fight to the death with zhang chao, on the way to the county did not leave any troops, this let country and huang zhong all the way very smoothly. In fact, every county had to leave at least five hundred legion soldiers behind to guard and maintain law and order. This way, their speed wouldn’t be faster.

When the two sides met, learned that the Yin Museum has been taken down, to be killed, zhang quan was killed by the people in the street can not help but sigh for a while. Chief Military Advisor Guo Jia looked at Zhang Chao with admiration and said, “Lord, then we can go back and deal with Heishan Army.”

“That’s right. Filial piety has won my heart. However, the Montenegrin army is overcrowded. If we want to deal with it, we need to think for a long time.” Zhang Chao nodded, country is the same idea as himself, which proves that his direction is not wrong. However, how to deal with them was not something that could be said.

“Yes, Master. Why don’t we discuss it after we go back and see if there’s a better way?” Although country is not afraid of Montenegro army, but to say that they will be completely eliminated, also know is not a day’s work. The so-called plotting alone is not as good as thinking, he also wants to see giffin and lu su will have what better suggestions.

“Let’s go back first. By the way, arrange for the 31st legion to head to Yanmen. Lyu bu and Dian Wei have just taken over, so they still need support.” On the surface, Zhang Chao didn’t care about Lyu bu and Dian Wei, but he was still worried in his heart. Now that there were more than three thousand reinforcements, they could better control the situation there.

Immediately, Huang Zhong sent three thousand one legion soldiers to Yin Guan City, Zhang Chao led the army straight to Jin Yang City.

Outside Jin Yang City, Zhang Yan led an army to defend the city for three days.

For the past three days, Sui Gu and Yu Du had used lightning-like methods to suppress the hearts of the people in the army.

Giffin centrifugal stratagem played a certain role, making many Montenegrin soldiers have other ideas. However, after three days of stability, or the killing of many dissidents, the situation seemed to be much better, and the morale of the army seemed to be united.

However, Zhang Yan, who was the commander-in-chief, was very clear that all of this was merely a superficial phenomenon. In fact, once the morale of the army started to fluctuate, unless they could win a few battles, otherwise it would be very difficult to revive. Right now, even though Jin Yang City was right in front of them, it was like a ravine that was unreachable.

If Zhang Chao took Yanmen Prefecture unfavorably, Zhang Yan would try to besiege the city for a period of time and think of more ways. But ever since he heard that Zhang Chao Feidan had taken down Yanmen Prefecture and had begun to return to his master, he could no longer sit still.

Even if Zhang Chao wanted to come back, Jin Yang City would not be captured. If he didn’t get one, he might be attacked from both sides. If that was the case, the situation would not be optimistic.

Zhang Yan thought of withdrawing her troops, so she called Sui Gu and Yu Du into the tent to discuss this matter.

When they went out, the army was imposing and magnificent. But now that they had failed to win, they were about to withdraw. They had to discuss it. Especially now, the situation was still not optimistic. Under the dryness of the morale of the army, if they did not arrange it properly, there was a high chance that something would go wrong.

In the tent of the Zhongjun army, Yu Du and Sui Gu heard Zhang Yan say that Zhang Chao was coming from Yanmen Prefecture. When they needed to withdraw, they couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.

These past few days, the two of them had practically been killing each other. Of course, what he killed was not the enemy, but the Montenegrin army under his control.

That day, giffin play, make a lot of montenegro army center appeared strange, they actually have the intention to surrender. In order to prevent the situation from becoming chaotic, they had no choice but to follow Zhang Yan’s instructions and start suppressing it with iron and blood.

Over the past few days, Heishan Army, who had previously surrendered, had been shouting loudly about how things were now, how life was going, and what he was doing to instigate the rebellion. This caused the morale of the army to be in turmoil. Even though they had killed quite a few people and seemed to have calmed down in the barracks, both of them knew in their hearts that it was only these subordinates who were afraid. Once there was a chance to rebel, the situation would also be out of control.

The two of them really couldn’t figure out what Zhang Yan was thinking. Why didn’t they attack when they arrived at the gate of Jin Yang City? Do you want to besiege the city? However, I heard that the food and water resources in the city are well prepared. Under such circumstances, how long will it take to surround them?

However, Zhang Yan was extremely stubborn towards this decision, making it difficult for the two of them to express their dissatisfaction. Now that the marshal had finally decided to withdraw his troops, he could finally figure it out. Why didn’t he let out a long sigh of relief?

Seeing that Sui Gu and Yu Du heaved a sigh of relief as soon as he said withdrawal, Zhang Yan knew that this attack on Jin Yang City was a failure. Not to mention the soldiers of the Montenegrin army.

In the past, the Montenegrin Army did not have any experience in attacking a fortified city. This time, they only relied on their numbers and wanted to suppress others. Now, it seemed that they had underestimated their enemies too much, or imagined themselves to be too powerful.

“Alright, the two generals have decided to leave. I think we need to discuss how to leave. No one dares to guarantee that Zhang Chaojun in Jin Yang City will chase after him.” When Zhang Yan said this, her expression was obviously somewhat dispirited.

Originally, he was in the offensive role, but now he had to change to the defensive side. This change was hard for anyone to accept.

However, no matter what, Zhang Yan made this decision. The next thing she needed to consider was who would retreat first and who would retreat.

Regardless of whether it was Sui Gu or Yu Du, they knew very well that if they didn’t move at the gate of Jin Yang City, everything would be easy to say. However, when it came to evacuating, it was hard to guarantee that the enemy in the city would not chase after him. If that was the case, then everything would be hard to say. At the very least, the person who retreated would be in considerable danger.

Gu Er, after Zhang Yan said the order to retreat, the two of them were you looking at me and me looking at you. Neither of them spoke first.

“Why don’t I bring my men to retreat first? However, I will arrange an ambush at the back. Once the enemy chases out of the city, they will intercept them. I believe that nothing major will happen.” Seeing that Sui Gu didn’t say anything, Yu Du said his thoughts first. After he finished speaking, he said with a very happy expression, “Ah, after a few battles, there are only ten thousand soldiers in my hands. This time, Brother Bai Lao has also been killed. I really don’t know what to say.”

Yu Du pretended to be pitiful, which made Sui Gu, who originally wanted to retort, suddenly speechless.

Indeed, from the moment Zhang Chao brought his men into the song, Yu Du had been a disadvantaged general along the way. Originally, he had fifty thousand troops, but now there were only ten thousand left. And good friend Bai Lao was indeed killed by Zhang Chaojun.

Sui Gu knew that playing the Emotional Card against Poison had already won. If he were to forcefully argue, it would be very difficult for him to gain any justification. Zhang Yan might not support him either. Even so, he did not go to explain, but took the initiative to ask, “Even if you want my empress, you can do it, but there is one request.”

Hearing Sui Gu’s willingness to stay behind, Zhang Yan’s face was filled with joy as she said, “If you have any requests, you may as well say it straightforwardly.”

“Then I’ll say it. I need to take care of the twenty thousand troops left behind by General Bai Lao. Only then will we have the strength to deal with the enemy if they chase after us in the city.” Sui Gu put forward his own request and also explained the reason.

Sui Gu originally had thirty thousand subordinates. This time, he had lost more than ten thousand people and had twenty thousand people left. Now that he had the remaining twenty thousand people under his command, it was equivalent to having forty thousand people. In that case, he would become the largest warlord in Heishan Army after Zhang Yan. Of course, more importantly, with these 40,000 people, he had the capital to fight against Zhang Chaojun in the city.

Sui Gu took advantage of this opportunity to seek benefits, and the timing was crucial, which made it difficult for Zhang Yan and Yu Du to say anything. The two of them only glanced at each other before nodding.

Sui Gu decided to stay. At the same time, his subordinates also pretended to be forty thousand men. While they were still carrying out the handover ceremony, Zhang Yanjing had already left with the main army in the afternoon.

Zhang Yan received news that Zhang Chao was bringing his main force back quickly. He heard that he could arrive at Jin Yang City in three days at the latest.

Zhang Yan was afraid that the enemies in the city would come out and interfere with her withdrawal, so Zhang Yan decided to withdraw in the afternoon. He only said to Sui Gu when he left that he hoped that he could safely bring the army back to the mountain.

Zhang Yan left. Because it was daytime when the army left, this made many soldiers on the city wall see, the situation was reported to giffin.

In fact, Jia Xu had already guessed that Zhang Yan was going to withdraw her troops. Since the matter in Yanmen Prefecture had been settled smoothly and Jin Yang City could not be taken down, Zhang Yan had no need to stay here. It was only a matter of time before she withdrew.

“Military Counselor, Zhang Yan’s army has already retreated. The others are also fleeing. What about us?” In Jinyang Prefecture, tardif, zhang liao, seibel, hsien four will appear together, came to the hall to see giffin and lu su.

The two high-ranking advisors had just been studying how to seize this opportunity to obtain the greatest benefits. Now that they saw the four generals arrive, they all smiled and said, “Generals, don’t worry. Don’t worry, you will be fighting this war.”

Bing Zhou was waiting for prosperity, and the biggest problem was population. Giffin and Lu Su have discussed, this time the purpose is not to kill how many people, but how many people can snatch, this is the key, is the basis of developing bing.

After the four generals obtained their missions from the two military advisors, they left happily. They were just waiting for the dark sky to arrive. Of course, there were still a lot of things that needed to be done before that.
