Chapter 25: The Fugitive Yan Liang
Yan Liang did not die in the chaotic army, but his situation was not much better than dying in the chaotic army.
On the day of the night attack on the enemy camp, there was chaos everywhere, and more than 100 cavalry led by Yan Liang pursued Guo Jia but failed to succeed, but was blocked by hundreds of dead soldiers led by his attendant warriors, and then the foot soldiers who stayed in the camp and fought were blocked by the fire and could not rush out. The rescue was unsuccessful, and Yan Liang did not dare to stay for a long time, so he led dozens of riders to detour from the north, all the way to the originally set Guanjin City, but unexpectedly, the outside of the city had already become a pot of porridge, and there was no way to distinguish between the enemy and me.
In the melee, Yan Liang and his subordinates were scattered, and the mounts were also cut down, and the black lights were blind and the fire was fighting everywhere, the closer to the city gate, the calmer it was, and he thought that it was Chun Yuqiong who was guarding the city, who knew that he would hear it when the surrounding soldiers cheered long live, and many of the soldiers who were fighting with him just now were actually Youzhou accents.
And these people are shouting Long live General Yan!
Yan Liang looked around with a knife, and the sound of celebration in the entire Guanjin City came and went...... The majestic General Yan was surrounded by thousands of enemy troops!
Taking advantage of the chaos, Yan Liang didn't care so much, and put his armor on a corpse in fear, put on the dirty Youzhou cavalry two-gear leather armor, and was ordered by the military marquis who led the troops to go out of the city to collect the corpse...... Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Yan Liang extinguished the torch and left the battlefield like a lone deserter.
Don't dare to go to the east, there is only one avenue, and now the eagle dog minions of Yanbei are chasing the remnants of Chun Yuqiong to march eastward, not to mention that even if there are no soldiers and horses, he doesn't dare to take the road, so he can only detour to the south alone, hoping to cross the river and escape to Qingzhou.
In the mouths of those Jizhou soldiers, what he heard the most was the confidence of the Yanbei Army in the unification of Hebei, saying that Bohai County had been besieged by the Liaodong Army from the sea, and a steady stream of soldiers and horses would capture Bohai and conquer Nanpi just around the corner.
On the way to flee south, in order to avoid trouble, Yan Liang went out day and night, and slept in the open air. Only once killed a messenger, in order to seize his horse and the dry rations he carried, he also got the news of the victory of the Yanbei army in Donglai.
Yan Liang's luck was great, but his luck also ended there, and the day after he got on the horse, he was arrested as a deserter by the pavilion chief of the Jianjin Pavilion.
"Pavilion Chief, how can you capture General Yan?"
Ying Shao, who was tied with his hands tied, was full of surprise, in front of him was Yan Liang, a general known for his bravery, and it was rumored that Yan Liang personally trapped Chen on the bank of the Zhangshui River during the battle with Gongsun Zhan and brought back more than 30 heads, how could the pavilion chief stop him?
The light and shadow in the gloomy cell hit Yan Liang's face, revealing an unkind look, he was bound hands and feet and leaned down hard, and his huge body rolled around twice, only to let himself be a little farther away from Ying Shao, the mourning star, and struggled to sit up, and finally gave up lying on the fluffy grass, letting the disgusting breath of rotten skin penetrate into his nose, and said in a deep voice: "Yan has no armor, but they have a bow and crossbow, not to mention that if it weren't for Mr. Ying's mouth, they would only treat Yan as a fugitive, a fugitive!" ”
Yan Liang was indeed a little unlucky, he could have managed to escape, and even after being captured by the pavilion chief, he still had a chance to escape. Until he met Ying Shao.
Ying Shao is a native of Runan, born in the Wang family, and his father was the captain of Emperor Huan's time, and his power was for a while. The origin of family education, so that Ying Shao was famous for his concentration on learning and reading a lot of books when he was young, so he was promoted to filial piety when he was the first emperor, and later the shogunate. Zhongping three years to raise the first high, to six years, was selected by the imperial court as Mount Tai Shou, in office shrewd and strong, at that time Taishan County Yellow Turban Yu Party made a lot of trouble, but also personally led the troops to defeat tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves, cut thousands. It is a talent who can govern the army on the horse and govern the people when he gets off the horse.
Until this year, the old father of Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao passed through Mount Tai and sent troops to greet him, but Cao Song was robbed and killed by the soldiers and horses sent by Tao Qian in Xuzhou within the county boundary. Ying Shao was worried that Cao Cao would lead his army to kill, so he left Taishan County and went to Bohai with his family to join Yuan Shao.
In this battle, Ying Shao had the position of joining the military council under Chun Yuqiong's account. Now he is locked up with Yan Liang, and he is obviously also captured.
It's no wonder that Yan Liang didn't want to deal with him, Yan Liang was originally tied up by the pavilion chief all the way to Liyang, and delivered to the nearest Liyang battalion, which was the garrison of Captain Zhao Yun's garrison. Because the battle of Guanjin was won, even if he was a fugitive, it was nothing more than a matter of beating thirty military sticks and reducing him to a foot pawn, which was nothing to Yan Liang, and could even bring him more opportunities to escape.
But in Liyang, he met the soldiers who escorted Ying Shao to Yecheng. Ying Shao had long heard that Yan Liang died in the chaos, and the Yanbei army only found his armor but did not find the body, and he should be cut into several pieces...... It's good now, Yan Liang is going to be sent to Yecheng with him.
Zhao Yun had never seen Yan Liang, but he had heard Tai Shi Ci say that this person had a high level of bravery, and immediately not only sent the most elite five hundred horsemen to guard them along the way to Yecheng, but also tied the two of them tightly, so that there was no possibility of escaping at all.
Then the two were sent to this gloomy Yecheng prison, waiting for their fate.
There was the sound of the cell door opening in the distance, and with the sound of slowly stepping on the iron shoes, Yan Bei walked into the prison. The dim light and damp and rotten breath made him feel a little uncomfortable, slightly wrinkled his nose, and with his gaze, the waiter hit the torch towards the cell, Yan Bei slowly lowered his head, looked at the bound Yan Liang with a smile, but he didn't say anything, turned to the man in the prison who was forty years old, and asked, "Your Excellency is Ying Zhongyu?" ”
"I'm just a prisoner at the bottom, and I don't dare to be Your Excellency." Ying Shao looked at the young man outside the cell in front of him, wearing a red Zong Yi coat of arms outside his Xuan robe, two jade rings hanging on his chest, his expression was proud and confident, and his face was ambitious, which made him have some guesses about his identity, but he still asked, "I don't know who is under the foot?" ”
"I'm Yanbei, Yan Zhongqing...... Open the cell door and loosen the restraints on Ying Taishou. Yan Bei lightly asked the congren to untie Ying Shao's body, and casually entered the cell and knelt opposite it, of course, it was indispensable for Dian Wei, who crossed the knife, to stand behind him, and asked Ying Shao, who was soothing, with a very puzzled expression: "Tao Qian sent someone to kill Cao Mengde's father, I heard that you abandoned the official in Mount Tai." Since you came to Jizhou, why didn't you come to Yecheng to join me, but instead went to Bohai County to join Yuan Benchu, is it because Yan's virtue is not enough to convince the public? ”
Ying Shao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "As a county official, I am afraid of Cao Mengde's army and abandon the people, where can I have the face to defect to the general." After knowing each other in the early years, he threw himself into the Bohai Sea, and now that the army is defeated, he has to wait for the general to fall. ”
"Yuan Benchu, well, Yuan Benchu's discussion of joining the army is not good, right? If it's not good, don't do it, Zhao Jun is still lacking Taishou, I have been on the table to the imperial court, you go to Zhao Jun Taishou. ”
Yan Bei didn't wait for Ying Shao to answer, so he leaned away, looked at Yan Liang who was lying on the ground, scratched his cheeks with a deflated mouth, and said with a hard smile: "Guanjin's battle report, Yan Mou read it, each for his master, you burned my camp and killed my soldiers, I don't blame you." But General Yan, why don't you let General Bohai do it, what are you doing wearing the cavalry armor of our Youzhou Army...... Didn't Yuan Benchu treat you badly? ”
