Chapter 101 Double Halberd
The fortune teller looks at the clouds in the northeast and sees clouds that look like horse liver and are as gray as ashes, appearing and disappearing at first, as hazy as fog.
Jiang Sheng was overjoyed and rushed to congratulate Wu Dun:
"General, good luck. The clouds in the northeast are the energy of defeat. If you are on the enemy, you should attack them quickly. Victory is certain!"
Wu Dun always remembered this person and often told people:
"There are only two things I should always remember in my life: the king of Shanyang and the king of Shanyin."
The king of Shanyang is Wang Dan, the diviner of Qi State in the north of Mount Tai. The Shanyin Chiang Kai-shek was naturally the one under his command, Chiang Kai-shek. This man was a great talent, he had everything he expected, and he was also very knowledgeable about geography, making him a treasure in his army.
As for how this treasure entered his army, it was naturally due to the sword and ears in his hand.
So when he heard that Jiang Sheng looked at the clouds and knew that this battle would be won, he was eager to give it a try. He had no intention of informing Zang Ba in the rear, so he left Ruan Zhong to guard the camp, and then commanded Pan Da with eight hundred soldiers, walked out of the camp and ran toward the northeast toward the billowing black smoke.
However, it was said that Wang Fen's commander Dong Fang received a report from the rear, saying that Hu's mother and Wang's soldiers were attacked by enemy troops, and the entire army was wiped out. At this time, enemy soldiers were pressing from the rear.
Dong Fang really never expected that while they were fighting life and death in the front, Hu's mother's squad behind them would be defeated, and it was indeed useless.
But this time their back is blocked, what will they do next? Just as he was about to discuss it with Zhao Chong, he saw that Zhao Chong had fainted from shock.
Dong Fang was so angry that he kicked Zhao Chong awake, causing him to faint and kill him.
At this moment, the fire behind him gradually burned out, and the enemy camp began to think of the sound of the conch. Zhao Chong stopped pretending to be dead and jumped up. He pulled Dong Guan's sleeve and whispered:
"How about we abandon the army and run away."
Dong Fan looked at Zhao Chong in surprise and asked secretly: Why did you finish what I said?
He, Dong Fang, had fled to Wang Fen's place to be a guest, so he could continue to flee. Then Wang Fen didn't treat him as a national scholar, so why should he die for this person.
He just didn't expect that Zhao Chong thought the same way. It was said that this person was Zhang Miao's confidant. He was not willing to risk his life for Zhang Miao. Zhang Miao was also a failure in life.
Just like that, Zhang and Wang saw their captain remove his armor and change into a single suit, and Shi Ranran walked to the back of the formation.
Just as everyone was wondering what the two generals were doing, they saw the two men running towards the top of the slope. When they wondered if the two men were going to abandon the army and flee, the second general who had already reached the top of the slope ran back at a faster speed.
As soon as he came back, he shouted:
"Form up, the enemy soldiers are coming."
Then the troops heard the sound of a charge on the other side of the hillside, and then saw a group of cavalry rushing over like a tidal wave.
Then came the troops all over the mountain. They jumped and dashed, held their flags high, and roared down.
Dong Fang and Zhao Chong only hurriedly formed the three soldiers into a circular formation, and were already surrounded by the enemy troops rushing down the slope.
Then a cavalryman wearing a red turban on his head and an apricot-yellow flag behind him urged his horse to coil its reins and pedal down. He was holding a person in his right hand and shouted in front of the formation:
"Hu's mother class has been captured, why don't you surrender?"
Then this person let go of Hu Muban and drove him to the front of the formation.
There is no celebrity in Hu's class at this moment. At this moment, his wide sleeves, broad chest, feather fan, Jinxian crown, and cloud shoes have all been stripped off, leaving only a calf-nosed trousers on his body, exposing his white flesh.
Then he knelt in front of Zhang, Wang, and Bao's army with his hands clasped behind his back, his face covered with bruises and his nose running. Howl:
"Surrender, the heroes of Mount Tai say that they can live even if they put down their swords. It's my Hu's class who can't stand up to everyone. They make everyone travel hundreds of miles for me. Now that my Hu's class has surrendered, you should surrender too. Surrender early, let's Come back early.”
Upon hearing this, the soldiers of the three families roared and then whispered.
It's nothing more than that we came from Shouzhang, Yanzhou just to fight for this Hu mother class. Now that these people have surrendered, why are we still fighting?
Dong Fang and Zhao Chong looked at each other and called the generals from the three armies to the military meeting. No one wanted to fight, but there were conditions for their surrender. One was not to hurt their lives, and the other was to let them take the captured things away.
The latter condition was naturally proposed by the generals of the Bao family. When the Zhang and Wang families came this time, they didn't even pull out their swords, so there was no way they could capture anything.
Dong Fang was not used to those Bao generals. He pointed at the dying Bao Tao and choked:
"Of course you can keep it and seize it if you want, but I don't know whether it is allowed or not. When the time comes to surround us here, it's hard to say whether your Wu Lang is alive or dead."
As soon as these words came out, the Bao general captured by Na Tiliu was naturally scolded by his fellow tribesmen, and in the end it was a middle-aged man with a fist in his arms:
"The child has no status. I, Mr. Bao, have no other aspirations. I will advance and retreat with everyone."
It was also when the generals were discussing that the army from the camp behind them also lined up. At this moment, they were wearing armor and clothes, hunting with flags, and the sound of drums and drums shook the surrounding areas.
Everyone knows that if they don't surrender, the Taishan army will overwhelm them.
In the end, nine generals including Dong Fang, Zhao Chong, Zhang Tong, Bao Yu, Xu Xi, Guo Song, Guo Mo, Wang Han, Duan Xiu, etc., accompanied by more than a thousand people, formally surrendered to Zhang Chong.
Surrounded by layers of soldiers, the nine generals panicked and entered Zhang Chong's formation holding the military flags of each family. They looked at Zhang Chong, who was leaning against his horse and looking north with the bright sun on his back. The nine generals were stabbed so hard that they could not open their eyes. They no longer dared to look , fell on the ground, and said he was willing to surrender.
The nine generals waited for a long time but did not see Zhang Chong speak. They were all frightened. Finally, Dong Fan, the leader, called for surrender again. Zhang Chong slowly turned around and started with the first sentence:
"Who knows, you guys, who is the majestic warrior in the first row in the south of your formation."
When the nine generals heard this, they all looked back. They saw the front of the formation, a banner with the word "Zhang", and a banner of warriors, as majestic as bear bears. Even though the entire formation surrendered, they were still indomitable at this moment, holding the flag proudly. Continue to carry out your duty of guarding the flag.
The ninth general sighed, this man is a good warrior, and he can fulfill his duties now. But no matter what, they didn't recognize this person. Instead, they recognized the military flag, which was the small flag of Shouzhang Zhang's formation, so the other eight generals all looked at Zhao Chong.
Zhao Chong's heart skipped a beat as he frantically recalled who this person was. Then he worshiped Zhang Chong in fear:
"Returning to the general, this man joined the army on the way. He was naked and resting on the left side of the road. When he saw that we wanted someone, he joined the army. My military officers saw that this man was majestic, so they allowed him to serve as a flag guard."< br>
When Zhao Chong wanted to say more, he saw that Zhang Chong had already rode up to the man.
Zhang Chong now had the power of victory, and the soldiers of the three families were already frightened. When they saw Zhang Chong riding his horse, they couldn't help but retreat. On the contrary, it was the majestic man who held the flag, never retreated, and showed his true qualities as a hero in the sea.
Zhang Chong secretly shouted "Hello", and after five steps away from the man, he dismounted from his horse, strode up to the man, and praised:
"A good man dares to call you by your surname."
The majestic man was not delusional. He knew that his life was in the hands of others at this moment, but he was arrogant and arrogant and could not be flattering. He was neither humble nor arrogant. He replied:
"Return to the general, Dian Wei of a certain family."
A huge joy rushed straight to Zhang Chong's forehead. He knew that this person was extraordinary, but he didn't expect that this person was extraordinary to this extent. Unable to restrain his ecstasy, he grabbed Dian Wei's arm and said:
"Good man, are you willing to share wealth and honor with me?"
Dian Wei was puzzled. He didn't know why the Taishan bandit general came to him regardless of the nine generals. But after all, he had experienced it from the ranger scene. He knew that the leader wanted to take him in. Then he followed the rules of the ranger and went to his side alone. Kneel down and pledge your allegiance to the new leader.
Good, really good. Zhang Chong, who was already a little confused, saw Dian Wei's actions and realized that he had to give something to Dian Wei. That would be formal.
He touched his whole body, and then as soon as his thoughts came to mind, he hurriedly turned back to his horse and pulled out two short halberds from his robes.
Zhang Chong raised his short halberd and said loudly:
"Today I, Zhang Chong, bestow upon Dian Wei a pair of halberds to serve him well and never waste his kindness."
This kind of gifting of troops was a kind of naming ceremony between monarchs and ministers in the ancient Western Zhou Dynasty. At this moment, Zhang Chong used it to express to the generals that I value this Dianwei very much.
Although the surrounding generals did not understand what was so extraordinary about Dian Wei, they saw Zhang Chong taking his duties so seriously and cheered:
"Cai~Cai~Cai~"
Cheers echoed throughout the countryside, startling a group of waterfowl.
Later, Zhang Chong put Dian Wei in his arms and asked him to accompany him. He summoned the nine generals who had surrendered one by one and comforted him with gentle words. One patted the shoulder and the other nodded. The nine generals, who were originally flustered, were at ease for the moment and even laughed from time to time.
The one who had read the most among the nine generals was Dong Fan. He looked at Zhang Chong in the sun, chatting and laughing with the surrendered generals, and a sentence came to his mind:
"The king of Xiao put his heart into the heart of others, and he was safe and did not throw himself to death."
Could it be that the destiny of the Han Dynasty was destined to fall on this person? Seeing Zhang Chong looking at him, Dong Fang didn't dare to think anymore and smiled and blended in with the generals.
Zhang Chong said frankly to the nine generals:
"I have no grudges against you all. I will abandon my swords and let bygones be bygones. If there is someone in the future who is willing to be my brother, then I, Zhang Chong, will share the wealth and honor with him. If he doesn't want to, I will not force him. I will give him money and millet and go home with him." .”
Zhao Chong took a long breath and was thinking about how to explain to Zhang Miao when he went back. Dong Fang suddenly stepped forward and knelt on one knee in front of Zhang Chong:
"Dong Fang has been wandering for half his life and has never met his master. Now that I have seen the general, he is a man of great strength, benevolence and righteousness, and sincerely trusts me. When I visit, I know that this is my lord. The general will not give up. I am willing to serve the general with the strength of his dog and horse."
Zhao Chong was shocked. Didn't we agree to go home together? Why did it happen?
Over there, Guo Song and Guo Mo looked at each other and knelt down on one knee, shouting:
"I am willing to serve the general with the power of dogs and horses."
These two men were disciples of Wang Fen's family. They didn't want to live a life of digging in the soil anymore. Seeing that Zhang Chong was like a god with his troops and his army was elite, they realized that this man had a lot of talent, so they surrendered.
Xu Xi and Wang Han were young knights from Yanzhou. They just fell in love with Zhang Miao and raised money, so they brought dozens of bad boys to Mount Tai to make money. When they saw that all the generals had surrendered, they didn't care the most. Whoever was more powerful would follow him. who.
They both bowed their heads and bowed.
In the end, only four generals, Zhao Chong, Zhang Tong, Bao Yu and Duan Xiu, were left. Zhang Tong is a member of the Zhang Miao tribe and wants to return to Shouzhang with the Zhang tribe, while Bao Yu is a member of the Bao tribe. In the previous battle, his Bao family was seriously injured. How could he surrender? He just remained silent and did not speak.
Zhao Chong's heart was beating wildly. He looked at Dong Fang kneeling there and thought of Zhang Miao's ruthlessness.
Zhao Chong squeezed in and knelt on one knee:
"Chong is willing to serve the general as a dog and a horse."
Duan Xiu was Zhao Chong's companion. Seeing that his partner had voted and he was alone, he voted without thinking too much.
In this way, nine generals voted for seven generals, and Zhang Chong was overjoyed. Each of these seven people has courage, and they can be ranked as warriors under their own command.
Later, Zhang Chong ordered the seven generals to take charge of their respective headquarters and told them that there was still a big battle to be fought. As for the remaining ones who refused to surrender, they would first tie themselves up in the camp and then let them go home after the war.
Afterwards, Zhang Chong ordered Yang Mao to divide the remaining archers from Chen Huan and Zhao Jian to join forces with him. Yang Mao himself continued to hold on to the stronghold with his remaining troops and the prisoners who were unwilling to surrender.
In the camp, several prisoners of Wang Fen's tribe looked at Zhang Chong and other soldiers meandering south, then looked at the hemp ropes in their hands, and laughed at themselves:
"This time, we are really holding the rope to tie ourselves up."
