Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 172

Chapter 172 Encirclement and Annihilation of Heishan Army (2)
Pei Yuanshao gave off the impression that he had always been upright, as if he didn’t have any schemes. However, such a person could only be fooled once he had fooled others, causing them to fall into a trap. In addition to the relationship between Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, from his point of view, it was initially suspicious, but once they were connected, it was all reasonable, because he would not exist in a false accusation.

It was precisely because of this that Pei Yuanshao was entrusted with the important task of luring Zhang Yan to attack.

This is also the idea of country, giffin, lu su and others.

Even if Zhang Chao wanted to quickly solve the Montenegrin Army’s problem, he still had to take risks with his own body, so they definitely couldn’t come up with such a method. Still using Zhang Chao as bait, only in this way could Zhang Yan attack and achieve his goal in the shortest time possible.

Of course, this method is also applicable to zhang chao, if it was a cowardly master, such an idea is absolutely not dare to mention.

Pei Yuanshao’s performance successfully deceived Zhang Yan. He thought that even if it was fake, he wouldn’t lose anything. On the contrary, if it was true, he could kill Zhang Chao here, and the entire Bingzhou City would fall back into the state of being without a leader. If that was the case, Heishan Army would become the person who would benefit the most.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan turned her gaze to Pei Yuanshao and said, “Alright, that’s right. I’ll accompany you to take a look. However, the ugly thing is, if you dare to lie to me, you know what the consequences will be. Otherwise, if what you said is true, then you have made a great contribution. After killing Zhang Chao, you will be rewarded according to your merits.”

“Thank you, Marshal.” Pei Yuanshao replied with a grateful and confident expression.

Immediately, Zhang Yan pointed at the three thousand trusted aides near the cave.

These three thousand people could be said to be the most capable soldiers in the entire Montenegrin army, and they were also soldiers loyal to Zhang Yan.

Bring three thousand Heishan Army, and at the same time arrange other QinBing to recruit more generals and soldiers, this zhang yan admitted that everything is arranged, then led the army and Pei Yuanshao to the cave where Zhou Cang is.

On this side, as soon as Zhang Yan’s army gathered, news spread to Zhou Cang.

When Giffin heard Zhang Yan move, he said with a happy expression, “Master, the fish has taken the bait. However, it will be very dangerous in the future. Do you want me to play you?”

‘”No need? This is a rare opportunity. There is no room for error. If you play me, once you are exposed, everything will be in vain, so let me do it. I am relieved that Zhong Kang is here to protect me.”

Zhang Chao said this, the side of xu chu straightened his body, a look with him, there will be no danger.

“Alright, so be it. Master, please be careful. Everything will follow the plan.” Giffin see zhang chao idea, not dissuade, but warned a few words. This master is too willing to take risks, he is afraid that there will be some other accident.

“Don’t worry, Wen He, I can tell the seriousness of the matter.” Knowing what Jia Xu was worried about, Zhang Chao smiled and patted his opponent’s shoulder. Then, he said to Zhou Cang, “General Zhou, you’re ready.”

“Don’t worry, Lord. Everything is ready. Right now, we are only waiting for Zhang Yan to appear.” Zhou Cang said with a confident expression. Even Zhang Chao dared to risk his life. He was just a useless reckless man, so what was there to be afraid of?

“Haha, good, that’s right. Follow the plan.” Zhang Chao laughed loudly as he said this, bringing Xu Chu and the guards out of the cave.

At this moment, Zhang Chao was already dressed in white. This was his standard clothing. At this moment, he was whispering something to Zhou Cang in front of the cave. When Zhang Yan and the army arrived from afar, what he saw was precisely this scene.

“Is that Zhang Chao?” Seeing a white-clothed man beside Zhou Cang, Zhang Yan asked excitedly.

“Marshal, that person is undoubtedly Zhang Chao. I have seen this person in Jin Yang City before.” A former spy QinBing said in a very certain tone.

“Oh? Hahaha, then the heavens really helped me.” Hearing that the person in white was indeed Zhang Chao, Zhang Yan laughed heartily. The existence of this person made it impossible for him to sleep peacefully in his dreams. Now that he finally had a chance to seize this person, he was extremely excited.

“Come on, everyone, listen up. Anyone who can kill Zhang Chao will be rewarded with ten thousand gold. Feng Wanhou, come on, let’s go together.” After Zhang Yanshi finished speaking, she raised her sword and the three thousand troops behind her surged forward.

In the distance, Zhang Chao had noticed the commotion. Seeing that the other party had suddenly launched an attack, he said to Zhou Cang, “Hurry, we’ve been discovered. Hurry up and escape.”

At this moment, Zhou Cang also said cooperatively, “Not good. The Marshal is here. Hurry up and escape.”

After Zhang Chao’s Zhou Cang finished shouting, he turned around and fled, rushing towards the direction he had planned.

Seeing that Zhang Chao was about to escape, how could Zhang Yan agree? He immediately ordered his men to speed up and kill Zhang Chao no matter what.

Three thousand people chased after him. Zhang Chao, Zhou Cang, Xu Chu, and the other iron guards, as well as some Zhou Cangjun’s Heishan Army, ran in front of them. For a moment, the originally quiet forest became very lively.

Normally, the distance between them was less than two hundred meters, so the chances of them being caught up by the army were very high. However, this was in the dense forest, and it did increase the difficulty and difficulty, making Zhang Chao and the others look very sorry, but in fact, there was no danger for the time being.

Zhang Yan, who was chasing after him, saw that the distance between the two sides was not getting closer. She couldn’t help but be very angry. He abandoned his horse and began to chase with his legs. In this environment where there were large trees everywhere, sitting on a warhorse would sometimes affect his speed.

“Marshal, it’s not a big deal to pursue like this. I’m afraid Zhang Chao will escape. Why don’t we send a group of people to surround him from the side?” Pei Yuanshao followed behind Zhang Yan and ran for a distance before coming up with an idea.

“That’s right.” After being reminded by Pei Yuanshao, Zhang Yan also seemed to wake up from a dream and patted her forehead. Then, she said to a lieutenant general beside her, “Go, bring 500 people to the left and 500 people to the right. No matter what, you can’t let Zhang Chao escape.”

After the two lieutenants received the order, they took away a thousand troops, but compared to Zhang Chao, who only had dozens of people, Zhang Yan’s advantage was still great.

Zhang Chao was in front, Zhang Yan was behind, chasing after him one by one, running in the dense forest.

In Zhang Yan’s eyes, the target was right in front of her. As long as she waited for a while, including the encirclement on the left and right, Zhang Chao would not be able to fly away even if he inserted his wings.

In Zhang Yan’s eyes, everything seemed to be beautiful. But what he did not know was that behind him, the whole of Heishan Army had been thrown into chaos. There was a piece of news that was spreading at a very fast speed. It was that the Great General’s men had already been killed in the mountains, and Commander Zhang Yan had already been killed.

All of this was naturally due to Jia Xu. He stayed in the cave and avoided the sharpness of Zhang Yan’s army. After seeing him pass by, he left the cave. Under the protection of a few iron guards and the spread of Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao’s trusted aides, the news began to spread to the Montenegrin army.

The barracks of the Montenegrin Army were one after another in this dense forest. The advantage of doing so was that once there was any movement, everyone would be able to support each other.

However, such a layout could also make it impossible to block the news once it was spread. It was as if the news of Zhang Yan being killed and Zhang Chao coming up the mountain was uncontrollable and unsealed.

When some of the Heishan Army generals in the other mountains heard this news, they immediately brought their trusted aides straight to Zhang Yan’s cave. They also wanted to see what was going on. However, at this moment, Zhang Yan was destined not to be in the cave, and some of her subordinates were killed by Jia Xu, along with Tie Wei, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao’s subordinates.

In front of the cave, all they could see was the corpses of a few soldiers of the Montenegrin army.

The generals of the Montenegrin army, Guan Hai and Bian Xi, were the first to arrive here, and the scene they saw was the corpse of Heishan Army lying on the ground. Seeing that the people who died were Zhang Yan’s trusted aides, both of them frowned.

“There’s no corpse here.” Guan Hai flipped through it and couldn’t find Zhang Yan’s corpse. He heaved a long sigh of relief.

Zhang Yan was the core and symbol of Heishan Army. It was no exaggeration to say that his position was the same as Zhang Chao’s in Bingzhou City. Everyone was closely united around him. If something happened to this person, then the entire Heishan Army would be in chaos and there would be no condensation.

“Not necessarily. Although there isn’t any here, I can’t guarantee that Zhang Chao will take away his corpse.” After failing to find Zhang Yan’s corpse, Bian Xi came to another conclusion.

“What? Brother Bian, do you mean that the Marshal is already dead?” Guan Hai’s body couldn’t help but tremble as he asked.

“It’s possible. Do you still remember the deaths of Bai Lao and Sui Gu? This Zhang Chao likes to take away the corpses of enemies the most.” Bian Xi wasn’t very sure, but she still spoke of her cultivation method.

“Then this …” Guan Hai was also surprised. If that was the case, then things would not be good. As a high-ranking general of Heishan Army, he also needed to consider his own future.

“Report.” While Guan Hai and Bian Xi were thinking about their own matters of mind, a scout from the army ran over. The moment he saw the two generals, he knelt down and said, “Detective, General Yu Du has already escaped with his ten thousand men. He is currently escaping due west.”

“Yu Du escaped?” This news shocked Guan Hai and Bian Xi. At the same time, they didn’t think about whether Marshal Zhang Yan really died. What they needed to do now was to escape from this place. Even if Zhang Chao could kill Zhang Yan, he wouldn’t be able to kill them.
