The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 57 Night Attack
When Zhu Jun knew that Zhang Miao had left, it was already the next morning.

"Stupid, this stupid guy, doesn't he know what's going on right now? How could Qin Yilu leave? This damn thing is trying to lure a snake out of its hole!"

Zhu Jun walked up and down the hall, cursing loudly.

He never thought that Zhang Miao could be so stupid. It was too late to form a group at this time. He actually led an army to leave Zhongmou for his own selfish purposes. An army of more than 10,000 people encountered thousands of cavalry in the wilderness. It was a certain death situation.

What's ridiculous is that Zhang Miao thought he could escape the disaster, but he didn't know that all this was Qin Shou's plan. Facing a fortified city, the cavalry had no good way except to lure these infantrymen out of the city and annihilate them in the wild.

It's just that the sudden departure of thousands of cavalry will arouse everyone's suspicion. This method is the best. When the news of Kong Ni's annihilation came, the army took the opportunity to leave.

Zhang Miao was indeed fooled and couldn't wait to lead his troops away, wanting to return to Chenliu. He never thought about what to do if he encountered an enemy in the wild.

"General, what should we do now? Should we send someone to call Zhang Miao back?" the soldier asked quickly.

"It's too late. Once he leaves the city, everything is settled."

Zhu Jun smiled bitterly and said: "I don't even dare to save him. Once I leave the city, Qin Yilu's target will be me."

Zhu Jun still knew that he was a much greater threat than Zhang Miao. Once he left the city, the opponent's target would definitely be him, so Zhu Jun knew the consequences of covering up, but he just didn't dare to leave the city.

He could only watch helplessly as Zhang Miao was surrounded and annihilated by Qin Shou.

Now he can only think about, once Zhang Miao fails, where will his more than 10,000 troops go? He doesn't have the ability to fight Qin Shou in a decisive battle, but if he escapes, he still has to see where he goes.

Staying in Zhongmou is just courting death.

"General, our food and grass are mainly supported by Chenliu. Once Chenliu falls, our food and grass will be in danger." The soldier reminded.

"Chenliu? I'm afraid we can only go to Chenliu."

An idea flashed through Zhu Jun's mind. Once Zhang Miao was defeated, Chenliu would become an empty city. He might be able to go to Chenliu and occupy Chenliu.

Chen Liu?

The soldiers were stunned after hearing this. They did not expect that Zhu Jun had such an idea and wanted to take the opportunity to occupy Chenliu.

It is better to rely on others to supply this food and grass than to take it yourself.

In the past, Chenliu belonged to Zhang Miao, and most of Zhongmu's money and food came from Chenliu. But now if Zhu Jun occupies Chenliu, everything in Chenliu will naturally belong to Zhu Jun.

All the money and food are his. When the time comes, he can expand his army however he wants. There is no need to act based on other people's faces.

Zhu Jun seemed to be sure of the next path, and the anger and anxiety on his face disappeared without a trace. He found a place to sit down and waited for the news of Zhang Miao's defeat.

The soldiers didn't dare to say anything when they saw this.

It's just that Zhang Miao, who left Zhongmou, didn't know what Zhu Jun was thinking. If he knew, he wouldn't know how depressed Zhang Miao was! He just wanted to defend against Chen Liu and had no other thoughts.

However, Zhu Jun thought of occupying Chen Liu so as to achieve freedom of money and food. He was really treating himself too much and did not take himself seriously at all.

On the official road, Zhang Miao was still a little worried. After all, no one could guarantee whether the enemy would appear next to him or the Xiliang cavalry would attack him at any time.

So he sent the sentry fifty miles away because he was worried about Qin Yilu's sudden attack. However, after waiting for two days, no enemies appeared, and I was relieved.

"Zhu Gongwei is old, timid, and hesitant when things happen. Although Zhongmu is good, it is too close to Luoyang. It doesn't matter if there are no soldiers in Luoyang. Now there is an extra Qin Shou who will come out and threaten him at any time. , it’s not appropriate to stop at Zhongmou." Under the night, beside the campfire, Zhang Miao and Zhao Chong said while eating roasted whole lamb.

"What my lord said is true. In the end, Zhu Gongwei is nothing more than this. It was the incompetence of the Yellow Turban that made him famous. In fact, he is just a middle-aged man and cannot be compared with the lord." Zhao Chong boasted on the side.

Zhang Miao laughed loudly after hearing this. Although he knew that Zhao Chong was flattering him, he was still very happy in his heart, but said in his mouth: "You! General Zhu is still very powerful, I can't compare with him, but After all, he is a bit older and is just cautious."

The cautiousness in his mouth is actually just a synonym for timidity. It's just that he comes from a wealthy family and speaks more euphemistically to express his demeanor.

Zhao Chong just smiled and said nothing.

The days in Zhongmou were really frustrating. Zhu Jun was rigorous in running the army, and even Chen Liujun was under his jurisdiction. Zhao Chong was like a grandson in Zhongmu, so there was no way Chen Liu was as cheerful as he was.

"When I return to Chenliu, I will hand over all matters in the county to Mengde." Zhang Miao suddenly said: "Mengde's talents are far superior to you and me! With him stationed at Chenliu, I believe Qin Shou will never dare to To invade."

After hearing this, Zhao Chong immediately understood what Zhang Miao meant. He clearly wanted Cao Cao to be the scapegoat.

"What my lord said is very reasonable." Zhao Chong nodded repeatedly.

He just wanted to be comfortable in Chenliu, but he didn't care about other things.

What the two of them didn't know was that in the dark night, there were thousands of pairs of eyes staring at the camp in the distance.

As the night gradually came, the temporary camp looked very crude. Zhang Miao thought that Qin Shou had left, and he was not prepared. Zhao Chong drank a lot of wine at night.

Suddenly, a cry of killing sounded in the night sky, waking up Chen Liujun from his sleep. He saw countless cavalry rushing into the camp in the dark.

The cavalry's faces were smeared with colorful dyes, their faces were ferocious, like ghosts, and they came in waving weapons in their hands.

The leader, with a pair of halberds in hand and an ugly face like a tiger, took the lead and broke into the camp. He swung his halberds and cut off the camp gate. Before a soldier could react, a cold light flashed and cut him in half. Kill, the dead cannot die again.

"Dianwei!"

Zhao Chong was a martial arts practitioner after all. Even though he drank a little, he still rushed out quickly when he heard the cry of killing.

But seeing Dian Wei's ferocious appearance, he suddenly screamed in surprise.

He spent more time with Dian Wei and recognized Dian Wei at a glance.

In an instant, he knew who was attacking the camp at this moment, and his back was suddenly soaked with cold sweat.

Qin Yilu made a sneak attack on the camp.

"Zhao Chong, where are you going?"

When Dian Wei saw Zhao Chong in front of him, he immediately roared.
