Chapter 88: Cao Cao ran away in vain in Changshe City
Zhao Yun was stunned when he saw Bo Cai being pierced by Zhang Fei's spear. Zhang Fei was also dumbfounded. Fortunately, Huang Xu was smart. When he saw that neither party realized that Bo Cai was dead, he immediately shouted: "Bo Cai is dead, surrender."
Those who don’t want to be killed!”
Huang Xu's shout reminded Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, and they immediately started to clean up the mess. The remaining Yellow Turban army was really dead when they saw the defeat, so they immediately surrendered. It was really difficult to make the Yellow Turban thieves prefer death to surrender. Zhang Fei
He stepped forward and cut off Bocai's head and handed it to Zhao Yun, saying: "Zilong, you were the one who knocked Bocai off his horse. This credit will naturally go to you!"
Zhao Yun did not take the head, but smiled and said: "Yide, our brothers are still talking about this? It was obviously you who stabbed Bocai to death with a spear, why should you give me the credit?"
Seeing the two of them trying to shirk, Huang Xu couldn't help but laugh and said: "Brothers, your vision is too shallow! You are just a prodigy, don't you worry about having to come and go! Follow the lord and kill Zhang Jue later.
, Who are you going to give it to?"
Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei were also a little embarrassed. Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and said: "Zilong, Brother Huang has been watching for half the night, why don't we just give him this opportunity and let's go grab Zhang Jiao's head!"
"Uh..." Huang Xu interjected and was troubled. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's better to give it to Brother Zhang than to me!"
Zhang Fei slapped his forehead and said, "That's right! General Zhang is older than us, and he helped me block the path of the Yellow Turban Army. Since you don't want Bo Cai's head, give it to General Zhang!"
In the eyes of others, Bo Cai Dou's big head was considered a great achievement, but Zhao Yun and others blocked it, as if it was not merit but a hot potato. Fortunately, Bo Cai was dead, otherwise he would have been so angry!
After a night of fighting, Bocai's army was wiped out. In the city of Changshe, Pegasus kept reporting the battle situation. Liu Zhang stood on the top of the city and looked at the mess below. He felt quite uncomfortable. Suddenly, Liu Zhang saw dust billowing in the distance, like a large number of army horses.
As they marched, he couldn't help but order: "Shi A, take my personal guards to see what's going on over there!"
Shi A flew away. At this time, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun had almost cleaned up the battlefield and came back to resume their lives! Liu Zhang looked at the excited two people and asked, "Have you ever caught Bo Cai?"
"Uh...no..." Huangfusong and Zhu Jun were stunned by Liu Zhang's question, and the joy on their faces also faded a lot.
Liu Zhang ignored the two men and stared at the battlefield not far away. He did not expect Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to take down Bo Cai. After a while, Zhang Ren also came back. Liu Zhang couldn't help but feel a little worried when he looked at Zhang Ren with empty hands.
Disappointed. Zhang Ren whispered in Liu Zhang's ear: "Don't worry, my lord, look at the direction Bo Cai is escaping from, which is exactly the defense area of Zilong and Huang Xu. Yide has also chased them!"
Sure enough, as Zhang Ren expected, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Huang Xu returned with their troops after a while, and Zhang Fei was holding a human head in his hand.
"Sure enough, it's Bo Cai!" Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were bullied by Bo Cai. Even if Bo Cai turned to ashes, they could still recognize them, not to mention that he still had a head!
"Congratulations to the champion!" Zuo Feng was very happy! In his opinion, Liu Zhang is one of his own, and now that his own man has achieved great success, he naturally wants to congratulate him!
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "I am so happy! Mr. Zuo!"
"Uh..." Zuo Feng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that Liu Zhang wanted him to send Bo Cai's head to the capital. Although Zuo Feng did not kill Bo Cai, the palace would definitely give him a reward if they were happy. Zuo Feng
Feng said happily: "Thank you so much, Champion Hou Tiai!"
"You're welcome!" Liu Zhang waved his hand to Zuo Feng, turned to Zhao Yun and others and asked, "Who killed Bo Cai?"
"Uh..." Zhang Fei pointed at Zhang Ren and said, "General Zhang killed..."
"Me?" Zhang Ren pointed at himself in surprise, but saw Zhao Yun and the other three with evil smiles on their faces!
"Four fingers are pointing at you, who else is it if it's not you?" Huang Xu winked at Zhang Ren and smiled a little narrowly.
Everyone understood that they wanted to give Zhang Ren the credit for killing Bo Cai. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun looked at each other. They had only heard of taking credit, but never heard of giving credit! Naturally, Zhang Ren would not give it for free. Not even his own brothers could take credit. In the end, Liu Zhang smiled and credited Zhang Fei with the credit for Zhan Zhanbo Cai.
"Lord! Cao Cao, the Cavalry Commander, is coming to support!" Shi A, who was ordered to find out the news, came back. It turned out that the soldiers and horses in the distance just now were Cao Cao coming to support!
"Let's go! Let's go meet Lao Cao!" Liu Zhang and Cao Cao were barely friends. Since Cao Cao is here, he will naturally go out to greet him.
Under the city gate, Cao Cao had a wry smile on his face. He thought he could get some credit, but he didn't even drink the soup. When he saw Liu Zhang, Cao Cao immediately saluted and said, "My subordinate, Captain Cao Cao, has met Mr. General Zhonglang!"
"Brother Meng De, why are you like this!" Liu Zhang supported Cao Cao and said, "You arrived just after I broke through the wave! In that case, follow me to Wancheng and kill Zhang Mancheng."
"Smooth?!" Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun broke out in a cold sweat. That Zhang Mancheng was much better than Bo Cai!
Cao Cao smiled and said: "With the champion Hou here, what chance do I have? I'd better help Master Lu Zhilu!"
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Meng De is going to help Mr. Lu, but Master Zuo Fengzuo, as an angel, is here with me. Could you please escort me?"
"This..." Cao Cao was a little embarrassed. He knew what Zuo Feng was here to do, but he couldn't refuse, otherwise Liu Zhang wouldn't be the only one to be offended. Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said, "Since I am the champion, Hou Xiangtuo, I naturally want to Do it!"
Zuo Feng was overjoyed when he heard what Cao Cao said. You must know that although Bo Cai was defeated by Liu Zhang, the road was still not peaceful. Even angels are afraid of robbers. Zuo Feng saluted Liu Zhang and finally said: "The champion Hou Zhen is a benevolent and righteous man. , I’m so grateful!”
"Lord Zuo, you're so polite!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "If you want to thank me, you have to thank Brother Mengde. I just use my words, but Lord Zuo's safety depends entirely on Brother Mengde!"
"That's right!" Zuo Feng saluted Cao Cao again: "Thank you Mengde!"
"No thanks!" Cao Cao looked at Liu Zhang and Zuo Feng and twitched the corner of his mouth very reluctantly. He knew that when he sent Zuo Feng to Lu Zhi, if Zuo Feng did something outrageous, he would probably be implicated. . But if he dared to say not to send it, not to mention the ten permanent attendants, even Liu Zhang would not make it easy for him. On the battlefield, the death of one or two cavalry captains is not a big deal! Cao Cao looked at it with a look on his face The treacherous Liu Zhang couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: "Why did I board this pirate ship!"
Liu Zhang would not make Cao Cao regret it. He took Cao Cao's hand and said: "I just defeated Changshe Bocai, and Brother Cao came. Although Brother Cao is not willing to go to the national disaster with his younger brother, I can't help but fulfill the friendship of the landlord." .Brother Cao must not refuse today’s celebration banquet, otherwise it will be a loss of face!”
"I..." To be honest, Cao Cao really didn't want to attend Liu Zhang's celebration banquet. Because he was here to earn military merit, but the battle was over before he arrived. To celebrate for others, Cao Cao was not that great. I didn't wait. Cao Cao refused, but Liu Zhang had already dragged him into the city, and now he couldn't leave even if he wanted to!
After a lively night, Cao Cao set off early the next morning, and Zuo Feng went with him. However, Zuo Feng had to go to Beijing to send back the bribes given by Liu Zhang and the property he looted. Of course, Zuo Feng
, and Bo Cai's head was indispensable. But Cao Cao was depressed. He wanted to go directly to Lu Zhi, but Zuo Feng dragged him to Luoyang and asked him to escort him to Jizhou. Now, Cao Cao just wanted to fight with Zuo Feng
He couldn't ignore the relationship! In desperation, Cao Cao could only accept his fate. It was better to offend one party than to offend everyone!
When Zuo Feng sent Bo Cai's head to the palace, everyone from Liu Hong to Cai Yong was very proud. Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong got benefits and took a lot of trophies, and their affection for Liu Zhang doubled. In addition to Yuan Wei and others
The aristocratic families and the entire Luoyang were all celebrating. Because the Yellow Turbans of Yingchuan were destroyed and the champion Liu Zhang was so capable, the capital was safe.
In order to commend Liu Zhang, Liu Hong sent a commendation edict from Luoyang to Changshe. Of course, along with the commendation, there was also an edict to urge Liu Zhang to march to Wancheng. Liu Zhang asked Zuo Feng to bring Bo Cai's head to Luoyang, and Liu Zhang was waiting for him.
You know, aristocratic families often confuse right and wrong. If they march into the army without waiting for the order, Yuan Wei may be able to frame Liu Zhang! People talk about gold, accumulate bones, and three people become tigers. Liu Zhang doesn't want to try it yet.
.
After receiving Liu Hong's order, Liu Zhang organized his army and headed for Wancheng. Huangfu Song originally wanted to go to Jizhou to help Lu Zhi, but he remembered that Zuo Feng was also going to Jizhou, so he decided to stay in Yingchuan and continue to clean up the Yellow Turban defeated army. He didn't want to go back to Jizhou.
Zuo Feng brushed him aside. The really smart one was Zhu Jun. He saw that Liu Zhang was very kind to his people, so he was shy and wanted to go to Wancheng with Liu Zhang. Seeing Zhu Jun's persistence, Liu Zhang really
Taking him along made Huangfusong very regretful. Who has any grudge against being promoted to a higher position or getting rich? It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, otherwise Huangfusong would definitely not hesitate to look like that old face.
The mighty army set off from Yingchuan again. Although Liu Zhang won the battle, there were not many prisoners. Many young and strong people ran away, and most of the captured were the old, weak, sick and disabled. As for these people, Liu Zhang was very
He generously left it to Huangfu Song to handle. Whether he killed or buried him had nothing to do with Liu Zhang.
Wancheng is the seat of Nanyang County in Jingzhou. Zhang Mancheng has been entrenched here since it was captured in March of the first year of Zhongping. The poor Nanyang prefect Chu Gong was beheaded here. In order to suppress Zhang Mancheng, the imperial court specially sent Qin Jie, the captain of Jiangxia, to
He was promoted to the governor of Nanyang. Unfortunately, Qin Jie disappointed the court. Three months in a row, Zhang Mancheng was still entrenched in Wancheng.
When Qin Jie heard that Liu Zhang came to help, he was secretly happy. He was promoted to the post of Nanyang Prefect by virtue of his military merits. After all, he was also from a poor family. Qin Jie once heard that Liu Zhang took very good care of capable children from poor families. If he could climb up to Liu Zhang's
This big tree made Qin Jie prosperous. Of course, Qin Jie's ambitions were not big. He just wanted to keep his position as Nanyang governor. Recently, he was under too much pressure. The Jiangdong tiger Sun Jian made him feel a lot.
There was a huge sense of crisis, but Sun Jian’s backer was Huangfu Song!
