535 Jingzhou changed hands(7)
The barbarians retreated, but Zhang Fei was willing to give up, and chased after the Shanyue army with him, and chased them out of seven or eight miles in a row, and then collected his troops and returned to the camp.
Zhu Ran waited at the door of the camp with Tan Xiong, Pan Zhang, Ling Cao and others, looking at Zhang Fei coming triumphantly with the Shanyue army, his face was filled with irrepressible joy.
If it weren't for Zhang Fei suddenly leading his troops to kill this time, it is estimated that this wave of barbarians led by Shamoke would have already attacked the camp, and when the time comes, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Zhu Ran's troops were not many, and when he came to attack Lingling this time, he thought that he could take Lingling into his pocket, but he didn't want to encounter a stubborn counterattack. In addition, the soldiers are a little unaccustomed to the water and soil, because the Guangzhou area where they are located is located in the south, so there is no snow, but as soon as they cross the Jiuzhi Mountain, when they enter the boundary of Lingling, they encounter a blizzard, and the temperature difference is very large, so that many soldiers are not very suitable for this kind of bad weather, fever, cold, and some have serious wind chill.
Zhu Ran had no choice but to leave all these sick soldiers in the area of Jiuzhi Mountain, and he reduced a lot of soldiers at once. And Zhu Ran himself was even sick, suffering from severe wind and cold, headache, brain fever and runny nose, so that after the failure of the first attack on Lingling City, he retreated thirty miles and hid in the camp, recuperating while waiting for reinforcements.
However, what Zhu Ran never dreamed of was that Lingling had few soldiers and enough to defend the city, so he dared to come and attack him. Zhu Ran was defenseless, but was caught off guard by Shamoke.
Zhang Fei rode a war horse, took the Shanyue army that had returned triumphantly, and came to the gate of Zhu Ran's camp, and saw Zhu Ran's face was dark and yellow. Lips are pale. The eyes are blank. And Tan Xiong, Pan Zhang, Ling Cao and others behind him were also injured, and they couldn't help but think in their hearts: "It seems that this barbarian king Shamoke has caused a lot of heavy damage to them. ”
In addition, the fence outside the barracks was destroyed, and the entire camp was full of corpses, including Zhu Ran's subordinates and many barbarian soldiers, the blood had stained the land red, and the white snow was melted by the hot blood. Patches of mud were formed, and because of the cold weather, they froze again, turning into colorful ice everywhere, and the smell of blood in the air did not dissipate for a long time, and rushed straight to people's noses.
"General Zhang came from afar, I should have gone to greet him personally, but who would have thought that he would be attacked by the enemy, and he would have to ask General Zhang to help, so that I could solve the dilemma. I'm ashamed. Zhu Ran stepped forward and hugged Zhang Fei with a fist. Said slowly.
Zhang Fei said: "It's all my own people, so I don't need to be so polite." Your army has been battered, so rest well these days, and I'll take care of the rest. ”
Zhu Ran hurriedly said: "General Zhang must not underestimate the enemy, although Lingling Taishou Pang Ji is said to be a corrupt Confucian, but this person is extremely capable, and he also bewitches the people of the whole county to confront us, no matter where we go, we will always encounter some inexplicable attacks, so that we can't deal with it at all." In addition, Pang Ji didn't know where Lu Dao found a barbarian army, that barbarian army was extremely strong in combat, and the barbarian army was led by their barbarian king, named Shamoke, this person was brave and good at fighting, and his strength was outstanding, he was by no means an idle person, if it wasn't for General Zhang's timely arrival, we were only afraid of ......"
Zhang Fei didn't wait for Zhu Ran to finish speaking, and said: "I know Shamoke better than any of you, as soon as I led the army to arrive just now, Shamoke did not lead the barbarians to fight against me, but turned around and ran, can't you see what this is because of Lu?" ”
Zhu Ran and the others all looked at each other, thinking that Zhang Fei had been in Jingnan for a long time, and Wuling and Lingling were located in places where barbarians lived, it was impossible for Zhang Fei not to know about the barbarian king Shamoke, and it was impossible for Shamoke not to know the existence of Zhang Fei in Ludao, perhaps, the two had already crossed paths before.
In fact, Zhu Ran's guess is not false at all, when Liu Bei served as the governor of Jingnan, he had an intersection with the barbarians, Shamoke was the largest barbarian king between Wuling and Lingling, with tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers, when Liu Bei ruled Jingnan, in order to alleviate the contradictions between the Han and the barbarians, he hired Shamoke as the chief history of Wuling, and recruited 3,000 barbarians to subordinate Guan Yu, and also implemented the policy of governing the barbarians with barbarians.
Therefore, there has long been an intersection between Shamoke and Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. However, the good times did not last long, and during his tenure as the chief historian of Wuling, Shamoke was restricted because of his living habits and was often restricted by rules and regulations, so that Shamoke himself resigned from the post of Wuling Changshi and returned to the tribe of the barbarians, becoming his barbarian king, and doing whatever he wanted.
After that, Shamoke also asked Liu Bei for food and money many times, but Liu Bei did not meet Shamoke's unreasonable demands, which made Shamoke hate Liu Bei.
After that, Shamoke personally led the barbarians, pretending to be thieves, causing chaos between Wuling and Lingling, burning, killing and looting the Han people, and bewitching Guan Yu's 3,000 barbarian soldiers to launch a mutiny, and once captured Wuling County.
Later, Liu Bei reacted quickly and sent Zhang Fei to lead the army to quell the rebellion, united with some remnants of Guan Yu, and attacked back and forth, and Jiang Shamoke was defeated, and even Shamoke himself almost lost his life, and was stabbed by Zhang Fei with a spear in his arm, and Shamoke did not dare to step into the territory of the Han people again.
But the power of the barbarians is too huge after all, Liu Bei was afraid that Shamoke would incite the entire barbarian tribe to be his enemy, so he sent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei deep into the barbarian tribe to negotiate with the barbarian king Shamoke, and finally determined the treaty of mutual non-aggression between the two sides, and Shamoke also knew that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were powerful because of the last battle, and he did not dare to make another time, so he agreed to this treaty.
However, after the news of Liu Bei's death reached Jingnan, Shamoke was overjoyed when he heard the news. Originally, he planned to lead the barbarians to copy Wuling and Lingling, but who knew that the pie fell from the sky, and Lingling Taishou Pang Ji sent people to the barbarian tribe, willing to hire Shamoke to fight for him with a lot of money.
Shamoko is greedy, so he asks Pang Ji for double the commission, and Pang Ji is at a critical juncture, thinking that as long as Shamo Keken sends troops to help, double the price is nothing. So, Pang Ji agreed to Shamoko's request, and first sent half of Shamoke's commission as a sincerity to let Shamoko send troops, and then gave the rest to the enemy after defeating the invading enemy.
Shamoke saw Pang Ji's sincerity, without any hesitation, led 10,000 barbarians to Quanling, the county town of Lingling County, when he first arrived in Quanling, just in time for Zhu Ran to lead the army to attack Quanling, so Shamoke didn't say a word, and immediately led the army to kill from behind Zhu Ran, Zhu Ran and others were killed by surprise, and the barbarians were also very brave, so that Zhu Ran's attack was blocked, and he had to be forced to withdraw his troops.
A few days later, according to Pang Ji's instructions, Shamoke quietly came to Zhu Ran's camp with his barbarian soldiers, and then suddenly launched an attack. That's why we have today's war.
However, to Shamoke's surprise, he didn't know that Zhang Fei would lead the army to come, when Shamoke was attacking Zhu Ran's camp was handy, a fierce army suddenly came from behind, he turned around and saw Zhang Fei's familiar face, and suddenly remembered the injury on his arm, although the wound had healed, but at this time it seemed to be a faint pain, as if to remind him to avoid Zhang Fei.
So, without saying a word, Shamoke immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army, not daring to fight with Zhang Fei, and was very embarrassed when he fled, but was chased by Zhang Fei for seven or eight miles, and nearly a thousand barbarians died, so he escaped.
Zhang Fei took the Shanyue army to rest in Zhu Ran's camp for the time being, recuperated first, prepared to attack Quanling tomorrow, and asked Zhu Ran, Tan Xiong, Pan Zhang, Ling Cao and others to serve as auxiliary attacks, preparing to take Quanling City in a battle.
At the same time, Shamoko led the defeated barbarian soldiers and retreated to Quanling City in great embarrassment.
Lingling Taishou Pang Ji stood on the city tower, and when he saw Shamoke fleeing back in such an embarrassment, he hurriedly went down the city tower and greeted Shamoke to ask what was going on.
"King Sha, why did you come back so embarrassed? With Zhu Ran's army, it shouldn't be able to beat you like this! "Pang Ji is an old man in his fifties, with a fat body and average appearance, but he is such a person, but Zhu Ran has a headache.
Shamoko waved his hand, sighed heavily, and said, "Alas! Don't mention it, I am leading an army to storm Zhu Ran's camp, as long as I am given half a pillar of incense time, Zhu Ran's camp will inevitably be broken by me. But who would have thought that Zhang Fei suddenly led a large army to kill me from behind, I couldn't beat Zhang Fei, I didn't dare to fight with him, and I was in a state of being attacked by the enemy on my back, if I hadn't ordered the withdrawal of the army in time, I was afraid that now I have been wiped out, and Lord Taishou can only go to the Netherworld to find me if he wants to see me again. ”
After Pang Ji heard Shamoke's words, he immediately frowned, and hurriedly asked, "Who did you say is coming?" Zhang Fei? ”
Shamoke nodded heavily and said, "That's right, that face, I will never forget for the rest of my life, it is Zhang Fei." ”
"How could Zhang Fei be here? And also help Zhu Ran attack you? Pang Ji suddenly fell into deep thought, and said to himself, "Could it be ...... Could it be that Zhang Fei has already taken refuge in Sun Quan in Jiangdong? ”
The news of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's defection to Sun Quan in Jiangdong did not reach Jingnan, and only a few people knew about it. But Pang Ji is by no means one of those few people, so Pang Ji doesn't know the news that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei defected to Sun Quan in Jiangdong.
Pang Ji suddenly saw Zhang Fei here, and also helped Zhu Ran deal with Shamoke, his mind quickly began to spin, and he immediately came up with this possibility.
"If Zhang Fei really takes refuge in Sun Quan, it will be difficult to deal with, and Zhang Fei is already difficult to deal with, I have suffered losses, if I want to deal with Zhang Fei, I would rather not want those gold, and I would not like to be an enemy of Zhang Fei. Pang Taishou, I'm really sorry, I have to get out of here quickly, otherwise, Zhang Fei will follow, and my life will be in danger! After listening to Pang Ji's self-talk, Shamoke immediately made a plan and said to Pang Ji. (To be continued......)
