Chapter 372 Anticlimactic Rescue
Although he regretted that Liu Bei left so resolutely and resolutely, Shang Ji still had to cheer up and deal with the next war seriously.
Liu Bei's lesson from the past is right in front of him, and Shang Ji doesn't want to end up losing troops and generals like him.
The scouts are everywhere, and the holy eagle is sent to scout around every half an hour. At the same time, the whole army is on the highest alert and slowly drives towards Wuji.
However, Shang Ji's carefulness seems to have been useless. He has never seen a large Yellow Turban army along the way, let alone the main force of the Yellow Turbans who ambushed Liu Bei before. All of them are hundreds of thousands per share, and at most thousands of thousands. It is not so much the Yellow Turban rebels as the more suitable miscellaneous Yellow Turbans who are bandits and bandits.
This kind of miscellaneous military businessman doesn't even bother to make a move now, and sending a centurion out can easily defeat and wipe them out. However, there are quite a few player forces who are very keen on this low-level Yellow Turban Army, and they fight very enthusiastically. Shang Ji didn't bother to compete with the players for business, so he rushed to Wuji carefully with his army.
Along the way, a blow that seemed to have been stored for a long time hit the cotton hard. The 300,000 troops were ready for battle, but they arrived in Wuji County smoothly.
Originally, there were millions of elite Yellow Turban troops besieging outside Wuji County, many of whom were the main forces such as Yellow Turban Luxors or Yellow Turban Lingwu.
However, for some reason, Shang Ji led an army here, and just launched a tentative attack, annihilating the yellow scarf army of less than 10,000 people, and then the yellow scarf army outside Wuji City responded, as if they were afraid The prestige of Shang Ji is average.
Shang Ji, who had already prepared for a bloody battle, was even more depressed and wanted to vomit blood. In this way, the siege of Wuji was almost resolved without a fight.
Not to mention Shang Ji, even the members of the Zhen family and Li Cai in Wuji City were stunned. Who knows what happened to the Yellow Turban Army? , but after Shang Ji came, he turned into a little sheep in an instant, and all the troops withdrew as soon as they fought.
"Hiss... This Shang general's reputation is so powerful, and the moth thief flees when he hears the sound." On the city wall, a general looked at the yellow scarf army going away, took a breath, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Hearing what he said, everyone immediately reacted, and looked at the Shang Ji army outside the city with fiery eyes, with admiration 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 pictures of the prestige of General Shang, fled without fighting, and the siege of Wuji was over."
Regardless of the chaotic Wuji County, Shang Ji was deeply afraid that the Yellow Turban Army would come up with another trick to show the enemy their weakness.
He didn't dare to lead the army to pursue it, he chased it for tens of miles carefully and symbolically, 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 reason why the Yellow Turban Army besieged Wuji City was largely to attract Liu Bei’s army to complete Zhang Liang’s rebellious plan. Now that the plan failed, Zhang Jiao started a new “Mantian Plan”, so naturally there was no need to be in Wuji again. waste time.
Under Zhang Jiao's call, Zhang Liang, who was seriously injured due to backlash, also chose not to deal with Shang Ji, and decisively led his troops back to Xia Quyang.
But no one knows this inside story. In the eyes of outsiders, the Yellow Turban Army was photographed by Shang Ji's prestige and almost fled without a fight. Shang Ji saved Wuji Zhen's family!
When Shang Ji led his army back to Wuji City, Wuji Zhen's family, led by Zhen Yizhi Qi Zhang, went out of the city to welcome Shang Ji.
The head of the Zhen family is Zhen Yi, but Zhen Yi previously served as Shangcai Ling in Shangcai. And where is Shangcai in Runan!
In other words, Zhen Yi was very unlucky to be trapped in the hardest-hit area of the Yellow Turban.
However, as the head of the Zhen family, he naturally had some tricks. Although Shangcai fell, he, Shangcai Ling, was fine and escaped from Shangcai under the protection of a group of confidant retainers.
But after escaping, Zhen Yi ran to Huangfusong unluckily. At that time, Huangfusong was still in Yangdi to resist the Yellow Turban Army. Later, Yangdi fell again, and Zhen Yi withdrew to Yangcheng with Huangfusong. Now he is trapped in Yangcheng, waiting for the imperial army to rescue him.
Theoretically speaking, even if Zhen Yi, the patriarch, is no longer there, his son still needs to come forward, and it is not the woman Zhang's turn to welcome Shang Ji.
But here it is necessary to talk about Zhen's core family situation.
Zhen Yisheng had three boys and five girls, the eldest son died young, and the second son Zhen Yan was promoted as Xiaolian. He is currently serving as the head of Qu Liang under the command of 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 of the Zhen family, he did not have any reputation. If it weren't for being Zhen Mi's brother, it would be difficult to make a record in history. Yao naturally couldn't handle it.
In addition, Zhen Yi's two surviving sons were both short-lived ghosts in history and passed away early.
The Zhen family is severely yin-prosperous and yang-declining. There are three males and five females in the Zhen family. Among them, Zhen Mi, who is the most famous, needless to say, her four older sisters, Zhen Jiang, Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, and Zhen Rong, are not just ordinary people, they are not only outstanding in appearance, but also quite extraordinary in ability.
Even Zhen Yi and Zhang's, Zhang's ability is better than Zhen Yi's.
Zhen Yi has been an official outside the country all year round, and the Zhen family's property is basically managed by the Zhang family. The Zhen family's current grand occasion is due to the Zhang family's contribution!
"Concubine Zhen Zhang, thank you General Hong En!"
At the gate of the city, a beautiful woman with outstanding grace and a group of Zhen's children and a group of Wuji County officials slowly worshiped Shang Ji.
Shang Ji got off his horse and went up with a group of confidants and generals.
"Ma'am, you are very polite. As a general who is a rogue general, it is his duty to clean up the moth thieves. Madam, there is no need to be too polite!"
Shang Ji gave him a little help, and Mrs. Zhang also stood up.
"This time it is all thanks to the general's supernatural power, and the moth thief flees in response to the sound, so that I will be relieved of Wuji's danger. I, on behalf of millions of Wuji people, thank the general for his great kindness!"
"Thank you, General Hong En!"
The genuine Wuji County Magistrate and others who were squeezed into the corner also followed Zhang's voice and worshiped again in unison.
Shang Ji repeatedly declined, vividly expressing the image of a humble gentleman who takes credit and is not proud of himself!
"Having said so much, it is really impolite to invite the general to enter the city. I would like to invite the general to enter the city for a while and prepare a little wine in the humble house to drive away the fatigue of the general!"
Zhang said politely.
Shang Ji readily agreed, and ordered the army to station outside the city temporarily, leaving Qin Ping to lead the army temporarily, and brought Tai Shici, Zhao Yun and others into the city with the Zhen family!
This city naturally has to enter! I haven't seen the reward promised by Mrs. Zhen, so I can't conduct dirty (yu) dirty (kuai) money transactions in front of the city gate in public! The image of a gentleman that Shang Ji worked so hard to maintain has not turned into a villain who only cares about profit in an instant
After entering the city, Mrs. Zhang waved her hand, and then County Magistrate Wuji consciously left with a group of court officials, not daring to disturb the conversation between the righteous masters.
This made Shang Ji once again feel the great power of the Zhen family in Wuji! Driving the court officials like servants, the Zhen family has long been regarded as a separatist regime in Wuji, and the entire Zhongshan Kingdom may also be deeply influenced by the Zhen family, otherwise Zhen Shi absolutely did not dare to be so arrogant!
As Mrs. Zhang directly entered the mansion of Zhen's mansion, the magnificence of the mansion naturally needless to say. What attracted Shang Ji's attention were countless elite soldiers in persistent clothes.
Because the war has just ended, these sergeants guarding Zhen's mansion have not been withdrawn yet, and with Shang Ji's eyes, it is natural to see at a glance that most of these soldiers are of seventh-level strength, and there are special arms bonuses. It is also one of the elites in the merchant army!
"Some incompetent domestic slaves are no match for the general's fierce soldiers. The general laughed at him!" Seeing Shang Ji's eyes on the guard, Zhang smiled slightly and said.
"Hehe, ma'am, you are joking. Such a brave man is more than capable of being compared to the Imperial Guards. If this is not enough, there is still an army that dares to speak bravely."
Mrs. Zhang's complexion changed slightly when she heard the words, and then she smiled brightly: "The general is joking, the family of Zhen's merchants, according to the court law, kept some servants in captivity to guard the house to guard against thieves, how dare you compare it with the pillars of the court? General, don't say this again carry!"
Shang Ji just smiled and didn't answer. There are many powerful people in the world, but there are not many who can compare with the Zhen family. If the Zhen family is really regarded as an ordinary family of merchants, it will definitely be a tragic death!
After the guest and host were seated, the two chatted a few more words, and then quickly turned to the topic.
"The general led his troops from thousands of miles on an expedition. My Zhen family remembers Wu Nei, and the gift is so small, please accept it with a smile!"
As soon as Mrs. Zhang clapped her hands, hundreds of burly men carrying dozens of large red boxes appeared in the courtyard in front of the living room.
