The fortune teller looks at the clouds in the northeast and sees clouds that look like horse liver and are as gray as ashes, appearing and disappearing at first, like the haze of fog.
Jiang Sheng was overjoyed and hurriedly congratulated Wu Dun:
"General, good luck. The cloud energy in the northeast is the energy of defeat. If you are on the enemy, you should attack it quickly. Victory will be certain!"
Wu Dun always remembered this person and often told people:
"There are two things that I should always remember in my life: the king of Shanyang and the king of Shanyin."
The King of Shanyang was Wang Dan, the fortune teller of the Qi Kingdom in the northern part of Mount Tai. The Chiang of Shanyin was naturally the Jiang Sheng under his command. This man was a great talent, and he knew everything about geography. He was the leader of his army. A treasure.
As for how this treasure got into his army, it was naturally due to the sword and ears in his hand.
So when he heard that Jiang Sheng was looking at the clouds and knew that this battle would be won, he was eager to give it a try. He had no intention of informing Zang Ba in the rear, so he left Ruan Zhong to guard the camp. Then he commanded Pan Da and led eight hundred soldiers out of the camp to march towards Black smoke billowed from the northeast.
But it was said that Wang Fen's commander Dong Fang received a report from the rear, saying that Hu's mother and Wang's soldiers were attacked by enemy troops, and the entire army was wiped out. At this time, the enemy soldiers were pressing from the rear.
Dong Fang really never expected that while they were fighting life and death in the front, Hu's mother's squad behind them would be defeated, and it turned out to be useless.
But this time their retreat was blocked, what would they do next? Just as he was about to discuss it with Zhao Chong, he saw that Zhao Chong had fainted from shock.
Dong Fang was so angry that he kicked Zhao Chong awake, causing him to faint and kill him.
At this moment, the fire behind him gradually burned out, and the enemy camp began to think of the sound of the conch. Zhao Chong stopped pretending to be dead and jumped up. He grabbed Dong Guan's sleeve and whispered:
"How about we abandon the army and run away."
Dong Fan looked at Zhao Chong in surprise and asked secretly: Why did you finish what I said?
Dong Fang had fled to Wang Fen's house to be a guest, so he could continue to flee. Wang Fen didn't treat him as a national scholar, so why should he die for this person?
He just didn't expect that Zhao Chong thought the same way. It was said that this person was Zhang Miao's confidant. He was not willing to risk his life for Zhang Miao. Zhang Miao was also a failure as a person.
Just like that, Zhang and Wang saw their leader remove his armor and change into a single suit, and Shi Ranran walked to the back of the formation.
Just when everyone was wondering what the second general was doing, they saw the two generals running towards the top of the slope. When they wondered if the two men were going to abandon the army and flee, the second general who had already reached the top of the slope ran faster. Ran back.
As soon as he came back, he shouted:
"Form up, the enemy soldiers are coming."
Then the troops heard the sound of a charge on the other side of the hillside, and then saw a group of cavalry rushing over like a tidal wave.
Then came the troops all over the mountain. They jumped and dashed, held their flags high, and roared down.
Dong Fang and Zhao Chong only hurriedly formed the three soldiers into a circular formation, and were already surrounded by the enemy troops rushing down the slope.
Then a cavalryman wearing a red turban and an apricot-yellow flag behind him spurred his horse to coil his reins and pedal forward. He was carrying a person in his right hand and shouted in front of the formation:
"Hu's mother class has been captured, why don't you surrender?"
Then this person let go of Hu Muban and drove him to the front of the formation.
There is no celebrity in Hu Mu's class at the moment. Now, his wide sleeves, broad chest, feather fan, Jinxian crown, and cloud shoes have all been stripped off, leaving only a calf-nosed trousers on his body, exposing his white flesh.
Then he knelt in front of Zhang, Wang, and Bao's army with his hands clasped behind his back, his face covered with bruises, his nose dripping with mucus, and he cried:
"Surrender. The heroes of Taishan say that they can survive even if they put down their swords. It's because I, Mrs. Hu's class, can't stand up to everyone. They make everyone travel hundreds of miles for me. Now that I, Mrs. Hu's class, have surrendered, you should surrender too. Surrender early, let's
Come back early."
Upon hearing this, the soldiers of the three families roared and then whispered.
It's nothing more than that we came from Shouzhang, Yanzhou just to fight for this Hu mother class. Now that these people have surrendered, why are we still fighting?
Dong Fang and Zhao Chong looked at each other and called the generals of the three armies to a military meeting. No one wanted to fight, but there were conditions for their surrender. One was not to hurt their lives, and the other was to let them take the capture away.
The latter condition was naturally put forward by the generals of the Bao family. When the Zhang and Wang families came this time, they didn't even pull out their swords, so there was nothing they could capture.
Dong Fang was not used to those Bao generals. He pointed at the dying Bao Tao and choked:
"If you want to keep it and seize it, of course it's fine, but I don't know if it's allowed. When the time comes to surround us here, it's hard to say whether your Wu Lang is alive or dead."
As soon as these words came out, the Bao general captured by Na Tiliu was naturally scolded by his fellow tribesmen. In the end, a middle-aged man clasped his fists:
"The child has no status. I, Mr. Bao, have no other aspirations. I will advance and retreat with everyone."
It was also when the generals were discussing that the army from the camp behind them also lined up. At this moment, they were wearing armor and clothes, hunting with banners, and the sound of drums and drums shook the surrounding areas.
Everyone knows that if they don't surrender, the Taishan army will overwhelm them.
Finally, nine generals including Dong Fang, Zhao Chong, Zhang Tong, Bao Yu, Xu Xi, Guo Song, Guo Mo, Wang Han, Duan Xiu, etc., accompanied by more than a thousand people, formally surrendered to Zhang Chong.
Surrounded by layers of soldiers, the nine generals panicked and entered Zhang Chong's formation with the military flags of each family. They looked at Zhang Chong, who was leaning against his horse and looking north with the bright sun on his back. The nine generals were stabbed so hard that they couldn't open their eyes and no longer dared to look.
, fell down on the ground, and said he was willing to surrender.
The nine generals waited for a long time but did not see Zhang Chong speak. They were all frightened. Finally, the leader Dong Fang called for surrender again, and Zhang Chong slowly turned around and began with the first sentence:
"Who among you knows who the majestic warrior in the first row in the south of your formation is?"
When the nine generals heard this, they all looked back. They saw the front of the formation, a banner with the word "Zhang", and a banner of warriors, as majestic as bear bears. Although the entire formation surrendered, they were still indomitable at this moment, holding the flag proudly.
Continue to fulfill your duty of guarding the flag.
The nine generals lamented that this man was a good warrior and could fulfill his duties. However, they did not recognize this man. Instead, they recognized the military flag. It was the small flag of the Shouzhang Zhang Family Formation, so the other eight generals all looked at it.
With Zhao Chong.
Zhao Chong's heart skipped a beat as he frantically recalled who this person was.
Then he worshiped Zhang Chong in fear:
"Returning to the general, this man joined the army on the way. He was naked and resting on the left side of the road. When he saw that we wanted someone, he joined the army. My military officers saw that this man was strong and strong, so they allowed him to serve as a flag guard."
When Zhao Chong wanted to say more, he saw Zhang Chong had already rode up to the man.
At this moment, Zhang Chong was carrying the power of victory, and the three soldiers were already frightened. When they saw Zhang Chong riding his horse, they couldn't help but retreat. On the contrary, the majestic man held the flag and refused to retreat even a step. He showed his true colors as a hero in the sea.
Zhang Chong secretly shouted "Hello", and after five steps away from the man, he dismounted, strode up to the man, and praised:
"A good man, dare to call me by your surname."
The majestic man was not delusional. He knew that his life was in the hands of others at this moment, but after all he was too conceited and arrogant to be flattering. He was neither humble nor arrogant, so he replied:
"Return to General, Dianwei of a certain family."
A huge joy rushed straight to Zhang Chong's forehead. He knew that this person was extraordinary, but he didn't expect that this person was extraordinary to this extent. Unable to restrain his ecstasy, he grabbed Dian Wei's arm and said:
"Good man, are you willing to share wealth and honor with me?"
Dian Wei was puzzled. He didn't know why the Taishan bandit general came to him regardless of the nine generals. But after all, he got it from the experience of the ranger scene. He knew that the leader wanted to recruit him, and then he followed the rules of the ranger and went to his side alone.
Kneel down and offer your allegiance to the new leader.
Okay, really good. Zhang Chong, who was already a little at a loss, saw Dian Wei's actions and realized that he had to give something to Dian Wei. That would be official.
He touched his whole body, and then as soon as his thoughts came to mind, he hurriedly turned back to his horse and pulled out two short halberds from his robes.
Zhang Chong raised his short halberd and said loudly:
"Today, I, Zhang Chong, give Dian Wei a pair of halberds to serve him well and never waste his kindness."
This kind of gifting of soldiers was a kind of naming ceremony between monarchs and ministers in the ancient Western Zhou Dynasty. Zhang Chong used it at this time to express to the generals that I value this Dianwei very much.
Although the surrounding generals did not understand what was so extraordinary about Dian Wei, they saw Zhang Chong taking his duties so seriously and cheered:
"Cai~Cai~Cai~"
Cheers echoed throughout the countryside, startling a crowd of waterfowl.
Later, Zhang Chong put Dianwei in his arms and asked him to follow him around. He summoned the nine surrendered generals one by one and comforted them with gentle words. One patted his shoulder and the other nodded. The nine panicked generals were all at ease for a while, and even laughed from time to time.
.
The one who had read the most among the nine generals was Dong Fan. He looked at Zhang Chong in the sun, shining brightly and chatting and laughing with the surrendered generals, and a sentence came to his mind:
"The King of Xiao put his whole heart into someone's belly, so he didn't surrender to death."
Could it be that the fate of the Han Dynasty was destined to fall on this person? Seeing Zhang Chong looking at him, Dong Fang didn't dare to think about it anymore, and he smiled and blended in with the generals.
Zhang Chong said frankly to the Nine Generals:
"I have no grudges against you all. I will abandon my swords and let go of the past. If there is someone in the future who is willing to be my brother, then I, Zhang Chong, will share the wealth and honor with him. If he doesn't want to, I will not force him. I will give him money and millet and go home with him."
.”
Zhao Chong took a long breath and was thinking about how to explain to Zhang Miao when he went back. Dong Fang suddenly stepped forward and knelt on one knee in front of Zhang Chong:
"Dong Fang has been wandering for half his life and has never met his master. Now that I have seen the general, he is a man of great strength, benevolence and righteousness, and sincerely confides in me. When I visit, I know that this is my lord. The general will not abandon me. I am willing to serve the general with the strength of his dog and horse."
Zhao Chong was shocked. Didn't we agree to go home together? Why did it happen?
Over there, Guo Song and Guo Mo looked at each other and knelt down on one knee, shouting:
"I am willing to serve the general with the power of dogs and horses."
These two men were disciples of Wang Fen's family, and they did not want to live a life of foraging in the soil anymore. Seeing that Zhang Chong was like a god with his troops and had an elite army, he felt that this man had some great qualities, so he surrendered.
Xu Xi and Wang Han were young knights from Yanzhou. They just fell in love with Zhang Miao and raised money, so they brought dozens of evil boys to Mount Tai to make money. When they saw that all the generals had surrendered, they didn't care the most. Whoever was more powerful would follow.
who.
They both bowed their heads and bowed.
In the end, only four generals were left: Zhao Chong, Zhang Tong, Bao Yu, and Duan Xiu. Zhang Tong was from the Zhang Miao tribe and wanted to take the Zhang tribe back to Shouzhang, while Bao Yu was from the Bao tribe and had fought against him before.
How could he surrender when he was dead and injured, but remained silent and did not speak.
Zhao Chong's heart was beating wildly. He looked at Dong Fang kneeling there and thought of Zhang Miao's ruthlessness.
Zhao Chong squeezed in and knelt on one knee:
"Chong is willing to serve the general as a dog and a horse."
Duan Xiu was Zhao Chong's companion. Seeing that his partner had voted, and he was alone, he voted too without thinking too much.
In this way, nine generals voted for seven generals, and Zhang Chong was overjoyed. Each of these seven people was brave, and they could be ranked as warriors under his own command.
Later, Zhang Chong ordered the seven generals to take charge of their respective headquarters and told them that there was still a big battle to be fought. As for those who remained who refused to surrender, they would first tie themselves into the camp and let them go home after the war.
After that, Zhang Chong ordered Yang Mao to divide Chen Huan, Zhao Jian and the remaining archers to join forces with him, and Yang Mao himself continued to defend the stronghold with the rest of his troops and the prisoners who were unwilling to surrender.
In the camp, several prisoners of Wang Fen's tribe looked at Zhang Chong and other soldiers meandering south, then looked at the hemp ropes in their hands, and laughed at themselves:
"This time, we are really holding the rope to tie ourselves up."
