Chapter 372: The Rescue of the Tiger and the Snake
Although it was a little regrettable that Liu Bei left so decisively and resolutely, Shang Ji still had to cheer up and deal with the next war seriously.
Liu Bei's experience is in front of him, and Shang Ji doesn't want to end up with the same loss as him.
Scouting around, sending the Holy Eagle to reconnoiter around every half an hour, while the whole army was on the highest alert, slowly moving towards Wuji.
However, Shang Ji's caution seems to have been all useless, and he has never seen a large Yellow Turban Army along the way, let alone the main force of the Yellow Turban that ambushed Liu Bei before. All of them are hundreds, thousands, and at most thousands, not so much the Yellow Turban Rebels as the more suitable miscellaneous Yellow Turban Army of the rogue bandits.
This kind of miscellaneous military merchant is now disdainful of making a move, and a team of 100 people can be easily defeated and annihilated by sending a team of 100 people out. However, there are many players who are very keen on this kind of low-level Yellow Turban Army, and they are also very hot. Shang Ji didn't bother to grab business with the players, so he cautiously rushed to Wuji with the army.
Along the way, it was as if a heavy blow that had been accumulating for a long time smashed on the cotton. The 300,000 army was ready to fight, but it came to Wuji County all the way.
Originally, there were millions of elite Yellow Turban troops besieging outside Wuji County, including many main forces such as Yellow Turban Warriors or Yellow Turban Lingwu, otherwise it would not have forced the Zhen family to the point of asking for help everywhere.
However, for some reason, Shang Ji led the army and just launched a tentative attack, eliminating the miscellaneous Yellow Turban Army of less than 10,000 people, and then the Yellow Turban Army outside Wuji City left, as if they were afraid of Shang Ji's prestige.
Shang Ji, who was already ready for a bloody battle, was even more depressed and wanted to vomit blood, and in this way, the siege of Wuji was almost solved without a fight.
Not to mention Shang Ji, even the Zhen people in Wuji City and Li Cai were stunned, who knows what happened to this Yellow Turban Army, Shang Ji fought extremely violently before he came, and almost captured Wuji City several times, but after Shang Ji came, he instantly turned into a little sheep, and all the troops withdrew as soon as they fought.
"Shhh...... The prestige of this merchant general is so magnificent, the moth thief fled when he heard it" On the city wall, a military general looked at the Yellow Turban Army in the distance, took a breath, and couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing what he said, everyone immediately reacted, and they all looked at the Shang Ji army outside the city with fiery eyes, and their admiration rose leisurely!
Under the city wall, a beautiful woman who was firmly guarded by hundreds of soldiers also quickly received the news that "the moth thief took the prestige of the Shang general, fled without a fight, and the siege has been lifted".
Regardless of the chaotic Wuji County, Shang Ji was afraid that the Yellow Turban Army would make some tricks to show the enemy's weakness, and he didn't dare to really lead the army to pursue, so he carefully symbolically pursued for dozens of miles, and then led the army back to Wuji.
In fact, what Shang Ji didn't know was that he was extremely lucky to pick up a big bargain.
The Yellow Turban Army besieged Wuji City, a big part of which was to attract Liu Beijun to come over, and then complete Zhang Liang's plan against fate, but now that the plan has failed, Zhang Jiao has opened a new "Mantian Plan", so naturally there is no need to waste time in Wuji.
Under Zhang Jiao's summons, Zhang Liang, who was not slightly injured due to the backlash, also chose not to deal with Shang Ji, and decisively led his troops to withdraw to Xiaquyang.
However, no one understands this inside story, in the eyes of outsiders, it is the Yellow Turban Army that took advantage of Shang Ji's prestige, and almost fled without a fight, and Shang Ji saved the Wuji Zhen family!
When Shang Ji led the army back to Wuji City, Wuji Zhen's whole staff went out of the city under the leadership of Zhen Yi's Qi Zhang to meet Shang Ji.
The head of the Zhen family is Zhen Yi, but Zhen Yi previously served as Shang Cai Ling. And where is Shang Cai in Runan!
In other words, Zhen Yi was very unlucky to be trapped in the hard-hit area of the Yellow Turban, and even the county governance and peace in Runan had fallen, not to mention Shangcai
However, as the head of the Zhen family, he naturally has some means, although Shang Cai fell, but he, Shang Cai Ling, was fine, and fled from Shang Cai under the protection of a confidant retainer.
However, after escaping, Zhen Yi was unlucky to run to Huangfu Song, when Huangfu Song was still in Yangzhai to resist the Yellow Turban Army, and later Yang Zhai fell again, and Zhen Yi withdrew to Yangcheng with Huangfu Song. Now he is trapped in Yang City, waiting for the rescue of the imperial army.
Theoretically, even if Zhen Yi, who is the head of the family, is no longer there, he needs his son to come forward, and it is not the turn of the woman Zhang to greet Shang Ji.
However, it is necessary to talk about the family situation of Zhen's core here.
Zhen Yisheng has three boys and five girls, of which the eldest son died young, and the second son Zhen Yan was promoted to filial piety, and is currently serving as the chief of Quliang under the command of the general He Jin, so it is naturally impossible to come to meet Shang Ji.
As for the third son Zhen Yao, a typical nerd, with such strong resources as Zhen's, he didn't have any reputation, if it weren't for being Zhen Mi's brother, I'm afraid it would be difficult to make a historical record, and Zhen Yao naturally couldn't cope with this kind of occasion.
In addition, Zhen Yi's two existing sons were short-lived ghosts in history and died early.
The Zhen family is a serious yin and yang decline, and the Zhen family has three men and five women in the next generation, and the men have little ability, but the daughters are famous. Among them, Zhen Mi, who is the most famous, needless to say, her four sisters Zhen Jiang, Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, and Zhen Rong are not idle characters, not only outstanding in appearance, but also quite extraordinary in ability.
Even Zhen Yi and Zhang's, among them, Zhang's ability is better than Zhen Yi's.
Zhen Yi has been an official outside all the year round, and Zhen's industry is basically taken care of by Zhang's family.
"Concubine Zhen Zhang, thank you General Hongen!"
At the gate of the city, a beautiful woman with outstanding demeanor took a group of Zhen disciples and a group of Wuji County officials to slowly bow to Shang Ji.
Shang Ji dismounted and greeted him with a group of henchmen.
"Madame is polite, this general is the general of the, and it is the duty of the moth thief to sweep away, Madame does not need to be polite!"
Shang Ji gave him a false help, and Zhang also got up.
"This time, thanks to the general's divine might, the moth thief fled in response, so that I am not in danger, and the concubine has thanked the general for his great kindness on behalf of millions of people!"
"Xie General Hongen!"
The genuine Wuji County Commander and others, who were squeezed into the corner, also bowed in unison again with Zhang's voice.
Shang Ji resigned again and again, and vividly expressed the image of a humble gentleman who is not proud of his achievements!
"Having said so much, it is really rude to invite the general into the city yet, and please ask the general to enter the city for a while, and prepare a little wine in the cold house, so as to drive the fatigue of the general into battle!"
Zhang said.
Shang Ji readily agreed, ordered the army to be temporarily stationed outside the city, leaving Qin Ping to temporarily lead the army, and took Tai Shici Zhao Yun and others into the city with the Zhen family!
Naturally, this city has to be entered! The reward promised by the Zhen clan has not yet been seen, so you can't trade dirty money in front of the city gate! The image of a gentleman that Shang Ji worked so hard to maintain has not suddenly become a mercenary villain
After entering the city, Zhang waved his hand, and then the Wuji County Commander consciously left with a group of court officials, not daring to disturb the conversation between the main lords.
This made Shang Ji feel the power of the Zhen family again! Driving the court officials like slaves, this Zhen clan has long been divided into a territory, even the entire Zhongshan Kingdom is probably also deeply influenced by the Zhen clan, otherwise the Zhen clan would not dare to be so arrogant!
As the Zhang family directly entered the Zhen Mansion, the magnificence of the mansion naturally did not need to be said, and what attracted the attention of Shang Ji was the countless elite soldiers who were wearing sharp clothes.
Because the war has just ended, these sergeants guarding the Zhen Clan's mansion have not yet been withdrawn, and it can be seen at a glance from Shang Ji's eyes that most of these soldiers are seventh-order strength, and there are special troop bonuses, and their combat power is one of the elite even in the Shang Ji army!
"Some unsuccessful house slaves can't compare to the generals in a hundred battles, which makes the general laugh!" Seeing that Shang Ji set his eyes on the nursing home, Zhang smiled slightly and spoke.
"Hehe, Mrs. said with a smile, such a warrior, compared to the imperial court forbidden army, it is more than rubbing, if this is not a weapon, then there is still that army in the world that dares to speak bravely"
Zhang's face changed slightly when he heard this, and then he smiled brightly: "The general said that he was laughing, the Zhen family's merchants' family, according to the imperial court law, keep some family members in captivity to guard the home and guard against thieves, how dare you compare it with the imperial court pillars, the general must not mention it again!" ”
Shang Ji just smiled and didn't answer. There are a lot of heroes in the world, but there are really not many people who can compare to Zhen's, if Zhen's family is really regarded as an ordinary businessman's home, it will definitely be a tragic death!
After the guests were seated, the two chatted a few more words, and then quickly turned to the topic.
"The general has traveled thousands of miles to lead the division on an expedition, and my Zhen family remembers the five internal ones, and the mere courtesy, please accept the general's smile!"
As he spoke, Zhang clapped his hands, and immediately hundreds of big men with dozens of large red boxes appeared in the courtyard in front of the living room.
