Chapter 71 Captive

Helping his wife collect the spoils, then the two rode their horses and ran towards Nanjiang. Halfway through the way, the fifty personal guards rushed up and saw that Xue Bing and his wife were not injured, so they felt relieved. They were personal soldiers. If their commander was injured and they were not around, they would inevitably be punished. Seeing that Xue Bing had nothing to do, she let go of her hanging heart, rode her horse and followed the two and ran back.

Since Xue Bing found Sun Shangxiang, he began to think about the war in Nanjiang. Nanjiang is not a big city, and 10,000 defenders have basically been eliminated outside the city, and there are no generals to attack. I think that at this time, Zhang Fei led his troops to attack. Thinking of this, he thought about the scene when he discussed with Zhang Fei and Wang Ping how to take Nanjiang the day before.

But that day, when the army reached not far from Nanjiang, Zhang Feixian said: "Tomorrow, lead the army straight to Nanjiang, take Nanjiang and then go straight to Nanzheng."

Wang Ping said: "Three generals, although Nanjiang is not a big city, if the enemy generals really cannot defend it, it will be difficult for us to take down this city in a short time."

After hearing this, Zhang Fei said unhappily: "Zi Jun thinks that our army can't capture a small Nanjiang?"

Wang Ping said: "General, don't forget that there are three thousand cavalry in our army, and these cavalry are useless when siegeing the city."

After hearing this, Zhang Fei said nothing and said to himself: "What a pity that these three thousand iron armored cavalry are placed aside and abandoned without using it? Then what should I take it out?"

At this time, Xue Bing, who had been silent, said: "Just lure the guard out of the city, these three thousand iron cavalry will have a place to use their skills!"

When Zhang Fei heard this, his eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Is Zihan there a solution? Tell me quickly!"

Xue Bing thought for a while, then said, "The countermeasures are not enough, just try it!" Seeing Zhang Fei's happy expression, Wang Ping also listened intently, Xue Bing had to say, "Yi De's reputation is too good. If we lead the army like this, the enemy generals will definitely not be able to defend it. It would be better to put away all the banners and ask Zi Jun to lead five thousand soldiers and horses forward. When the enemy general saw Zi Jun's banner, he would definitely be despised because he had never heard of Zi Jun's name, so he could tempt him to lead the army to fight. Yi De led three thousand iron cavalry

, put away the flag, and took advantage of the night to rush to the front, looking for an ambush in the land. If the enemy generals come out, then Zijun lure him to the place where he ambushed in advance, and Yide then leads his army to the battlefield to break the enemy in one battle. We will lead a army to circumn behind him in advance, intercept his retreat, so that he will not be able to return to Nanjiang. In this way, if the enemy generals lead most of the troops out, there will be few soldiers in Nanjiang City. If a few soldiers out, there will be no generals in Nanjiang City to suppress the formation. No matter how many soldiers there are, it will be useless."

After hearing this, Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Okay, OK! That's the arrangement!" Then he said to Wang Ping, "Can you know where is the right place to ambush on the road ahead?"

Wang Ping thought for a moment and smiled, "There is less than thirty miles to go here. There is a plain, surrounded by mountains in the east, but there is a gentle slope to the west. This slope is lush and trees can be a place to ambush. Moreover, the terrain is very slow, which is very suitable for cavalry charges."

Xue Bing heard this and smiled and said, "But it was God who also helped our army, and there was such an excellent terrain."

Zhang Fei said, "That's settled! Zijun led his army forward, and Zihan and I led our troops and horses to the front at night!" After saying that, he ordered everyone to arrange various matters. No one could take away the three thousand iron cavalry, so Zhang Fei stared at him very tightly. He put away the banner and left only Wang Ping's banner. Xue Bing led three thousand crossbowmen to follow Zhang Fei. After Wang Ping led the army for a while, the two men led their troops to follow.

At night, he quietly surpassed Wang Ping's army and rushed to the predetermined ambush site. At this time, Xue Bing's three thousand troops were with Zhang Fei, and only after a spy came to report: "The enemy general Yang Ang led 8,000 soldiers out of the city and rushed here." Only then did Xue Bing quietly lead the soldiers and horses around Yang Ang, and ambushed not far from Nanjiang City.

All this is simple. When marching, Xue Bing's forehead was covered with sweat. After all, the two men were like passing by. If someone saw something was wrong, the plan would be in vain and he could only fight head-on. Fortunately, until Xue Bing led the troops and horses to completely bypass Yang Ang's army, these people did not see something was wrong. At that time, Xue Bing looked at Yang Ang's direction away, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and smiled: "It seems that this battle will definitely be won!" Then he climbed onto the war horse, waiting for Yang Ang to be defeated by Zhang Fei and fled here.

What happened later, as Xue Bing planned, the only difference was that Yang Ang did not die under Wang Ping's sword, Zhang Fei's spear, and even escaped the shooting of a crossbow, but was caught up by his wife and killed by his life after several shots. Xue Bing really didn't know whether to be happy or depressed. After designing such a series of ambush, he could not kill this guy. When he was about to escape smoothly, he was chased by his wife and killed with the opportunity. In addition to lamenting that Yang Ang had indeed rich experience on the battlefield, he was indeed a bit unlucky.

When he turned around, he saw the horse following behind him, with Yang Ang's body hanging on it. Originally, Sun Shangxiang wanted to cut his head and then go back to lead the military achievements. However, he couldn't do anything, so he asked Xue Bing to cut it. But Xue Bing looked at it for a moment and said, "Since you're dead, don't harm his body. His war horse happened to have not run far, so let him pull him for the last journey!" After that, he lifted Yang Ang's body on the horse, then hung the reins of the horse behind his horse, and led it back to Nanjiang along the way.

At this time, the battle in Nanjiang had ended. Zhang Fei, who had gathered his troops, only launched several tentative attacks on Nanjiang. The remaining two thousand soldiers in the city took the initiative to open the city gate and expressed his willingness to surrender. When Xue Bing came back, it happened that Zhang Yi was commanding the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and Wang Ping was pacifying the surrendered troops in Nanjiang.

"General Xue is back!" Zhang Yi was the first to see him outside the city and immediately came over to pay his respects. Seeing that Sun Shangxiang was following him, there were no one else in the fifty cavalry. Knowing that he had not suffered any damage, he smiled and said, "General Zhang has led his troops into the city. General Xue can find General Zhang in the city."

Upon hearing this, Xue Bing nodded and asked, "What's going on after I leave?"

Zhang Yi said: "After the general left, General Zhang led most of his troops to come. Seeing that our troops were in power, the Hanzhong soldiers surrendered one after another. Then General Zhang concentrated his troops to attack the city. After only a moment of persistence, the soldiers in the city opened the door and surrendered."

When Xue Bing heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. After all, her plan was successful, and she couldn't help but feel proud. She glanced at the corpses everywhere and ordered: "Let these corpses be buried in a good life. If you can't find a suitable place, you will burn it and don't expose the corpse in the wilderness."

Zhang Yi said: "I will save you the last time!" So he continued to command the soldiers to clear the battlefield.

When Xue Bing saw Zhang Yi go, she led his personal soldiers into Nanjiang. As soon as she entered the city, she saw Wang Ping commanding the soldiers to post notices to appease the people. When Wang Ping saw Xue Bing return, he saw the corpse hanging on the horse behind him and smiled and said, "I know that General Xue will definitely be able to kill this person." Xue Bing said, his face looked strange and replied, "This person was not the one I killed, but the life my wife took."

Wang Ping was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know what Sun Shangxiang's skills were. He was dissatisfied when he saw Sun Shangxiang coming with the army. He was very dissatisfied. Until now, he heard that the woman had actually killed Yang Ang, and then he said respectfully: "I don't want to make my wife a hero among women. I'm disrespectful! Disrespectful!" But this was said to Sun Shangxiang, which made Sun Shangxiang feel proud for a while, and replied: "General is so praiseful!"

Xue Bing said: "Where is General Zhang now?"

Wang Ping said: "The third general is now worried in the big tent!" After saying that, Wang Ping also frowned, as if he was thinking of that difficult problem.

Xue Bing said: "Why did Yide be so sad?"

Wang Ping said: "It will be known when General Xue goes, that you can discuss it at the third general."

Xue Bing said, "Zijun is busy, I'm going to find Yide!" After saying that, he said goodbye to Wang Ping and headed to the military camp. Within a moment of running over fifty cavalry in the city, he came to the military camp. As soon as Xue Bing came in, he saw Zhang Fei standing there, his eyes wide open, but his eyebrows seemed to be furrowing, and his whole face looked sad and scary.

When Zhang Fei saw Xue Bing arrive, he hurriedly said, "Zihan is back. I'm just about to ask you for discussion."

Xue Bing quickly jumped off the horse and asked, "Why are you so anxious?"

Zhang Fei said: "And I will first enter the big tent, and then I will tell you in detail."

Xue Bing gave instructions to his left and right: "Bury Yang Ang's body to be buried alive, and then disperse and rest!"

Zhang Feiyu listened and said, "You have been beheaded by Yang Ang?"

Xue Bing said: "No! When I arrived, Yang Ang had already taken his life by my wife!"

Sun Shangxiang urged the horse to chase Yang Ang. Xue Bing was worried. Zhang Fei knew about the matter of lifting the halberd to chase him. He only thought that Yang Ang would definitely die in Xue Bing's hands, but he didn't expect that he would be killed by Sun Shangxiang. However, he had no intention of asking about the specific matter now, and hurriedly pulled Xue Bing into the big tent and asked: "There is a difficult thing now, and I have to ask Zihan to come up with an idea."

Xue Bing followed Zhang Fei into the big tent and asked, "What did Yide worry so much?"

Zhang Fei pulled Xue Bing in, pulled him down, and then said, "Zihan, have you ever considered the issue of prisoners when formulating military reform?"

"Prisoner?" Xue Bing's head did not react for a moment, and he didn't understand why these mere prisoners made General Zhang like this. Zhang Fei continued: "Our army captured more than a thousand prisoners during the battle, and then the two thousand defenders in Nanjiang opened the city to surrender, and now they have become prisoners. Zihan, what should we deal with these nearly four thousand prisoners?"
