Chapter 17 As if living in his shadow

dawn

Fan Chou counted the soldiers and generals, and found that he had lost nearly two thousand soldiers, and all the food, grass and baggage were burned.

He couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, looking at the impregnable Chang'an City, Fan Chou no longer had any thoughts of attacking the city, and he had the intention of retreating.

But then he thought about Li Jue's troops, Jia Xu's plan, and the consequences of retreating...

Fan Chou spat heavily, gathered his soldiers, and still camped in place, waiting for an opportunity to attack the city.

Chang'an City

Tonghei's performance last night finally stopped some people in the court from talking, and he won the bronze title of "barely considered a general."

Of course, Tanehira himself didn't really want this title.

He looked down at Zhang Ji who was tied up by Wu Hua Da Da, and was silent for a long time.

"...Has this guy's head gotten bigger?"

Zhang Ji had a bruised and swollen face and was hopeless.

This young man doesn't have martial ethics, he's here to cheat! He's here to attack me, an old military commander in his thirties, is this okay? This is not good.

Scholars must be killed but not humiliated. There must be rules on the battlefield. I advise you to use rat tail juice.

"It's our infusion, and my grandson's mouth is so bad! We were so angry yesterday!"

Thongpei: Slowly type a question mark.

Who is talking to me?

This familiar accent seems to be Wang San?

"Wang San? Where are you?"

After Zhongping finished speaking, he patted his head.

It’s over, and my accent has also been distorted.

"I'm right next to you."

Wang San felt a little aggrieved. He had been standing here for a long time.

Co-author Weren’t you talking to me just now?

Zhongpei was startled, and then he noticed that there was a big living person next to him.

Is this some kind of passive stealth skill?!

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't..." Zhongpei turned around.

???

Where are the people???

Wang San silently stretched out his hand.

I'm on your right...

Are you serious about turning left?

Zhongping is very embarrassed.

No wonder Wang San felt like he was in a deserted place in the enemy camp. Not only could he successfully avoid Fan Chou's sword, but he could also burn all the enemy's food and grass by himself.

If I had this skill...

Phew, what are you thinking about?

"This is Zhang Ji, haha. Zhang Ji from the North deserves his reputation, haha."

Tanehira changed the subject dryly.

Zhang Ji gritted his teeth and swallowed a mouthful of old blood.

What a cruel boy, he kills people but also hurts his heart!!!

Wang San stared at Zhong Ping with a pair of small eyes.

Young Master, although I'm not smart, you don't have to fool me like this.

Zhong Ping deliberately ignored Wang San's resentful little eyes.

Well, Zhang Ji, does he have a nephew named Zhang Xiu?

Yes, Zhang Xiu, the spear king of the North, has a force value of 85!

I feel that many novels I have read before like to write Zhang Xiu as Zhao Yun's senior brother.

well.

Why in the novels I have read before, the male protagonist can harvest all kinds of powerful generals at the beginning, but when it is my turn, there is nothing?

I also want a general with 70+ strength...

Zhongping rarely felt a little melancholy.

Zhang Ji was so stared at by Zhong Ping that his scalp went numb. Ever since he knew that those strategies were thought up by the young man in front of him, he had fallen into a fear of being dominated.

I always feel that both Jia Xu and myself have been seen through by the other party.

Obviously this surprise attack plan is impeccable...

But I don't know why, it seems like I have been living in his shadow.

I don’t know what conspiracy he is thinking at this time. Could it be that he wants to recruit me?

Zhong Ping thought that he couldn't believe that a bearded man like you could marry a beauty like Zou.

That was a strange woman who killed Boss Cao's eldest son and his favorite general in one fell swoop.

Zhang Ji: I don’t know why I feel like there’s something extra on my head...

I don't know what's going on with Marquis Wen. It's not difficult to contain Li Jue. As long as Fan Chou and Zhang Ji are retreated and Marquis Wen returns to Chang'an later, the city should be able to calm down.

Zhongping thought, always feeling as if he had overlooked something...

Li Jue, who was missed by Zhong Ping, was sitting in the camp, describing his depression.

He was trapped in the mountain by Lu Bu for a long time.

Although according to Jia Xu's plan, during this period, he and Guo Bang advanced or retreated, playing with Lu Bu in the palm of their hands.

But while the two of them were restraining Lu Bu, weren't they themselves also being restrained by Lu Bu?

Now the way to break the situation lies with Zhang Ji and Fan Chou.

Li Jue clearly knew that Jia Xu's plan was flawless, but for some reason, starting from last night, he felt inexplicably panicky.

Is it because the army is running out of food and grass?

Li Jue thought about it, but the uneasy feeling enveloped him and lingered.

"Wen He, I estimate that Zhang Ji and Fan Chou should have arrived at Chang'an City by now, right?"

Seeing Li Jue sitting and lying unsteadily, Jia Xu tried to comfort him: "General, don't worry, the two generals Zhang and Fan have led tens of thousands of troops, while the generals guarding Chang'an only have a few thousand."

"It's also a surprise attack plan. Come to think of it..."

Jia Xu originally wanted to say that it would not be difficult for Zhang Ji and Fan Chou to defeat Chang'an——

Wang Yun and others in Chang'an City were completely incapable of defending the city.

But he was cautious by nature and never spoke full words, so he changed his words and said: "It is possible to cause turmoil and force Lu Bu to return reinforcements."

After Li Jue heard this, instead of breathing a sigh of relief, his heart beat even harder.

He walked back and forth in the camp for a long time before he said: "No, we have to send someone to send a message to Fan Chou, asking him and Zhang Ji to quickly send troops to attack the city directly!"

"Thousands of people are attacking the city. No matter how strong Chang'an is, I don't believe that this person can still defend the city when his heart is shaken!"

Zhongping stood on the city wall in a daze.

An hour ago, he released Zhang Ji and the enemy troops captured last night back outside the city.

If this move had been made before last night, Zhongpei would definitely have encountered a lot of resistance. Not to mention those in the court, even the guard generals would not agree.

But now.

As soon as Zhonghei said that I had my own plans, those who wanted to say something immediately shut up.

As for the soldiers.

They were all in high spirits, expecting that their young master would come up with some new tricks and that they could also earn a share of the credit.

Didn’t you see that silly boy Wang San not only got a silver tael after accidentally burning the enemy’s food and fodder, but he was also directly promoted to the rank of commander?
