The fog on the North Bank of the Yellow River dispersed earlier than that on the south bank. Zhang's Liang army stationed on the north bank actually has someone responsible for paying attention to the movement of Jincheng all the time.
At that time, Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi were awakened by the pro guards. They went to the river regardless of the possible danger of thick fog. Because the sky was too dark and the fog was too thick, they couldn't see what happened on the North Bank of the Yellow River, or even a glimmer of light.
The two brothers and cats were at the river for about two quarters of an hour. The air in the fog was too wet. The river at night was too cold. Since they couldn't see anything with their eyes, they returned to the camp.
There must be a war on the South Bank of the Yellow River. Everyone, including Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi, has their own speculation. It is generally believed that Zhang Chong attacked the Han Army camp through thick fog. During this period, Zhang Tianxi also praised Zhang Chong, saying that Zhang Chong was really familiar with military books.
They found that it was not right. For more than half an hour, the South Bank of the Yellow River did not calm down. On the contrary, the sound of fierce battle became louder and louder.
Attacking the camp through the weather and night should not be like this. It should break out in a hurry and calm down in a very short time. It should not last so long.
Several optimists guessed that Zhang Chong's attack on the camp was absolutely successful. First, he opened the gap, and then Zhang Chong took advantage of the situation to attack on a large scale, so that the war would not subside.
Unable to see the South Bank of the Yellow River, the sound of fierce battle showed no sign of diminishing at all. Zhang Zuo decided to send someone to cross the river.
If there are orders above, the people below will implement them. However, the current flow of the Yellow River is still extremely fast. None of the people selected to cross the river by boat is not desperate that "Lao Tzu's life should be reimbursed". They dare not disobey the military order issued by Zhang Zuo personally, and only hope to cross the river by luck.
There are 13 boats crossing the river, each of which is ten people. They operate the boat with all kinds of mood. The people on the bank can't see their figure through the thick fog soon. They only know that the wooden boat just went offshore and heard the sound of falling into the water and the cry of surprise.
In fact, two of the thirteen wooden boats were turned over at the moment when they were offshore. After 20 people fell into the water, only three people splashed ashore, and the rest were swept away by the water.
For the remaining eleven, the farthest they drove out was about six feet from the river, and then came, all of them were buried in the river, but it took a little longer. For a long time and not far from the shore, when the water flow is too fast, the people on the boat work hard to paddle, but the water will still push the boat downstream, and the forward power will be seriously disturbed. Therefore, the sailing distance is not short, but the forward position will be very limited.
The water of the Yellow River is very loud, and the fighting sound on the other side is even louder. Until the last boat is overturned, the people on the bank don't know that those people have fallen into the water and where they have been rolled. They still wait and wait so faithfully, waiting for those who are destined not to return.
In the twinkling of an eye, the Yellow River, which swallowed 127 people, is still very clear. The rolling river flows from west to East. Taotao river flows into the East China Sea after thousands of twists and turns.
But I don't know if those Zhang Liangjun who died in the river will also be carried out of the sea? I don't think so. After all, Liangzhou is thousands of miles away from the East China Sea. They should be rolled to the shore somewhere downstream and become a swollen body wearing Zhang's cool army uniform.
On both sides of the Yellow River near Jincheng tonight, people are destined to have no sleep.
The sound of killing on the south bank is boiling. All the time, someone is racing blood. After falling to the ground, they slowly become a body that has lost body temperature. Some people will also wave weapons in sweat to show their blood. The only constant is that the killing continues.
Most of the Zhang's Liang army on the north bank was awakened. The awakened people woke up those who were still sleeping, and then the whole camp listened to the sound of fighting from the south bank. All kinds of speculation would come out of different people's mouths, or worry, or expect, far away from all kinds of unfounded imagination.
Judging from the fighting, the deafening sound of horses' hoofs and non-stop shouting and killing have been going on all the time. It doesn't take too much time to know how fierce the fighting is.
No one wants to sleep. When the soldiers wake up, they are hungry and listen to the sound. People with conditions are thinking about how to fill their stomachs.
Zhang Zuo was the commander-in-chief of the whole army. The people who gathered the military accounts were also privileged. It was boring to sit and talk to each other, and a temporary banquet began.
Now the Yellow River is not suitable for swimming. There is no worry about the Han Army crossing the river. Although Zhang Zuo, who is in a very uncertain mood, knows that it is wrong, he still feels that he can drink properly. If he doesn't drink, he really can't suppress his anxiety.
Yes, it's disturbing. If Zhang Zuo didn't find the abnormality on the South Bank of the Yellow River, he would be a complete fool.
Although he felt something was wrong, Zhang Zuo still didn't think that Zhang Chong would put all his eggs in one basket and do the kind of thing that failed to defeat the Han army once, and then let Jincheng fall with heavy losses.
According to Zhang Zuo's idea, if Zhang Chong thought that Zhang's cool country had no future, it was a big deal to surrender, but Zhang Chong did not surrender at the beginning. Even if the Acropolis outside the city was cleaned up and still resisted, he naturally thought that Zhang Chong would not surrender to the Han army.
Zhang Zuo is now worried that Zhang Chong is playing big and off. It is the Han Army that has long been prepared for Zhang Chong's night attack and made it impossible for Zhang Chong to stop after launching. He is still guessing how many troops Jincheng will lose, and then how many troops Zhang Chong will lose, and whether he will be able to defend Jincheng.
Jincheng is very important to Zhang Liangguo. It is an indisputable military town in the east of Zhang Liangguo. It has resisted the invading enemy more than once, frustrated the spirit of the invading enemy, and made the invading enemy bury a large number of soldiers and soldiers under the city.
Today's Jincheng is more important. Zhang Zuo also hopes that Zhang Chong can insist on crossing the river by Zhang's cool army on the North Bank of the Yellow River. Relying on the defenders of Jincheng and the Army crossing the river, he will attack and annihilate or defeat the Han Army led by Xie an, so as to seriously damage the spirit of the Han country and scare the Han army from invading again.
[if he could defeat the Han Army in Jincheng, Gu would be able to send someone to meet the king of Han...] Zhang Zuo was very optimistic at the beginning of the banquet. More than once, he boldly invited his subordinates to raise a glass together, but then his mind began to wander: [if he could stop fighting on both sides... No, the king of Han would never give up the great cold of destruction because of one failure...]
Zhang Zuo, with the highest status, calmed down and thought. Behind him, Zhang Tianxi also looked like a soul wandering outside the sky. As a result, no matter how many words there were in the account, they became silent.
The silent atmosphere will appear awkward. If you want to hide the embarrassment, you don't have to raise your glasses frequently if you are crazy about eating vegetables. There are all kinds of tableware bumping against each other in the account.
Unless it is a special case, the field garrison will start to make a fire at the moment of Yin, and the fire will be passed down again and again. During this period, all kinds of food should also be treated. At the moment of Yin, it is time to carry the pot to boil water and wait for the water to boil. All kinds of food are mixed together and thrown into a mixed miscellaneous pot.
This is a foggy weather. The wood placed in the open air is moistened by water vapor. People with common sense know that there will be a lot of smoke when the wet wood burns.
The smoke from firewood and the fog of nature filled the camp, and the cough began to appear frequently. Fortunately, the place where the pot was buried for cooking was never the camp of the army, nor was it so foolish to be placed in the limelight. Only those cooks were recruited.
Across the river, the south bank was bloodied, and the north bank was sleepless at night. This scene did not appear more than once. The most recent one appeared in the battle between the Han Army and the Jin army, except that it was the Han Army crossing the river.
"Gentlemen..." Zhang Zuo finally got away from thinking. He didn't know what he had thought clearly. He looked very interested: "raise a lamp!"
The boss made a noise. Of course, people belonging to this school raised the wine lamp immediately, while those not belonging to Zhang Zuo raised the wine lamp only after Zhang Tianxi made an action.
Zhang Zuo's next sentence should be "drink together", but as soon as his mouth opened, there was a panic cry outside.
"General... General... The banners at the head of Jincheng city have been changed. It's lost. It's lost!"
In other words, from waking up to observing in person, to coming back for a discussion, and then to the banquet being set up, time passed unconsciously, and the sky was already bright.
During this period, there was no intelligence gathered outside, or it was reported again and again. I couldn't see what was happening on the south bank. I was waiting to see such a message from the other side.
With a "clang" sound, the wine Baron in Zhang Zuo's hand fell on the table and had a close contact with the plate with large pieces of meat.
It's the wine baron. Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi use bronze barons, and the rest are pottery lanterns. What tools are used to represent what identity, just like the saying "five tripods can't be steamed without five tripods" when princes are qualified to eat. The tools used are used to show their status and identity.
Zhang Zuo was not the only one who dropped the tools in his hand, and Zhang Tianxi was also surprised. Those who failed to hold them firmly contributed the crisp sound of broken pottery in the account.
"Zhang Chong... Zhang Chong is a bastard who can't accomplish anything but fail!" Zhang Zuo was shaking all over, and his eyes were open for a moment. He had an expression that he wanted to choose people and bite: "I don't have that ability. I'm learning to make a night attack. Unexpectedly, Xie an took the opportunity to enter Jincheng!"
The person who received the report was scared and paralyzed on the ground. His limbs were soft and his face was at a loss. He was deeply afraid that he would lose his life if he heard the next sentence "pull it out and cut it".
"Explore, explore again!" Zhang Zuo stared at the informer fiercely: "if Zhang Chong doesn't organize to recapture the city, you'll jump into the river!"
The messenger, whose whole body was soft, almost climbed out of the big tent with the last strength of his life.
"Calm down, general." Zhao Chang was one of the few who dared to speak in Zhang Zuo's anger. He was also very flustered in his heart, but he could pretend to be calm and try to say in a gentle tone: "there are more than 100000 defenders in Jincheng, and there are nearly 70000 people. Xie an's command is only 60000, of which there are more than 30000 soldiers in counties and counties who can't afford a hard battle. Taishou Zhang must be able to recapture the city."
"Gu is worried about how many traitors there are now!" Zhang Zuo roared angrily, "it must be the cooperation of rebellious thieves inside and outside, so that the Han army can enter the city. Gu should catch their families before coming, and raze their three families!"
It is not uncommon for people to surrender to the enemy in times of national crisis. Such people will appear in any country and can not be eliminated at all.
Of course, Zhang Zuo knew that many people felt that Zhang's cool country was coming to an end and were looking for a way back early. He really did a lot of copying and exterminating the family, but he just deterred those people to do it more secretly, and even let some people who originally wanted to see the wind start to do so, and then changed to appease.
It seems that appeasement is more useful than killing? At least it seems that most aristocratic families say they will fight at least. Now Zhang Zuo seems... No matter what the aristocratic family says or promises they make, they are not as effective as farts.
Zhang Tianxi was stunned for a while. When he came back, he looked at Zhang Zuo, then picked up the wine pot on the table and poured it ruthlessly. Finally, he wiped his mouth and walked out of the military tent without saying a word.
Many people followed Zhang Tianxi out of the military tent. After they came out, they quickly caught up with him.
"Lord..." Zhang Xuan asked with a frightened face, "what shall we do?"
Zhang Tianxi walked forward in a muffled voice. He walked faster and faster. After walking for a distance, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Zhang Zuo's big account. From a distance, he could see Zhang Zuo standing outside the account and looking at himself remotely.
"Wait..." Zhang Tianxi found his voice very hoarse, swallowed his saliva, adjusted it a little, and then said: "go back to the whole army of the headquarters, and come and report when you are ready."
Zhang Xuan was stunned and asked, "the whole army? The Lord wants..."
"In addition, send someone to rush back to guzang. Be sure to take Yaoling out of the city and escort him to Jiuquan first." Zhang Tianxi took his eyes back from Zhang Zuo, looked at Zhang Peng who was at a loss, and glanced at those equally confused subordinates: "let's go to Jiuquan first, and then drive to the western regions."
Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked at Zhang Zuo and asked, "the general..."
"He knows." Zhang Tianxi looked up at the sky. There was no emotion in the sound line: "this is a prior agreement."
What is Jincheng? It is an important military town of Zhang's Liang state. In the hands of Zhang's Liang army, it is the eastern fortress to resist the invading enemy. Once captured by the enemy, it will become the bridgehead of the invading enemy.
Once the golden city was lost, Zhang Liangguo had only the Yellow River in the East, but Zhang Liangguo did not have a large-scale Navy. In the face of a country with a large fleet like Han, the Yellow River was not a natural danger.
Without Zhang Liangguo in Jincheng, the Han Army had a huge fleet that could send troops across the river in a very short time. Fighting with the Han army near the water system? Shijie Zhao has given too many examples. Whoever doesn't accept the lesson is stupid enough to kill himself.
"The great general will surrender to the great man at the right time..." Zhang Tianxi smiled miserably, grinned and then said, "if we go to the western regions, if the king of Han accepts the surrender of the great general and treats him kindly, we will soon... Become the servants of the king of Han."
