The dense fog on the north bank of the Yellow River dispersed earlier than on the south bank, and the Zhang Liang army stationed on the north bank actually had people responsible for paying attention to the movements of Jincheng at all times.
At that time, Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi were woken up by the guards, and the two went to the river regardless of the danger that might arise in the thick fog, because the sky was too dark and the fog was too thick, they couldn't see what was happening on the north bank of the Yellow River at all, and they didn't even see a trace of light.
The two brothers were by the river for about two quarters of an hour, the air in the fog was too humid, and the river was really cold at night, and since they could not see anything with their eyes, they returned to the camp.
There must have been a big war on the south bank of the Yellow River, and everyone including Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi had their own speculations, generally believing that Zhang Chong took advantage of the dense fog to attack the Han army camp, during which Zhang Tianxi also praised Zhang Chong a few words, saying that Zhang Chong was really familiar with military books and the like.
They found that the south bank of the Yellow River had not been quiet for more than half an hour, but on the contrary, the sound of fierce fighting became louder.
Taking advantage of the weather and night to attack the camp should not be like this, it should have broken out in a hurry, and it will subside in a very short time, it should not be sustained for that long.
A few optimistic people speculated that Zhang Chong's attack on the camp was absolutely successful, opening the gap first, and then Zhang Chong took advantage of the situation to attack in a big way, so that the movement of the battle would not subside.
Unable to see the south bank of the Yellow River, the sound of the fierce battle showed no signs of becoming less at all, and Zhang Zuo took the initiative to send people to venture across the river.
There are orders above, and the people below will carry them out, but the current flow of the Yellow River is still extremely turbulent, and none of the people who have been selected to cross the river by boat are not a pair of "Lao Tzu's small life to be reimbursed" despair, but they still dare not disobey the military order issued by Zhang Zuo himself, and only hope to be able to successfully cross the river by luck.
There were thirteen boats crossing the river, each of which was ten people, and they came out with various moods, and the people on the shore soon could not see through the thick fog, only that the boats had just left the shore when they heard the sound of falling water and exclamations.
In fact, two of the thirteen wooden boats capsized at the moment of the shore, and only three of the twenty people fell overboard, and the rest were swept away by the water.
The remaining eleven, they sailed as far as about six feet from the river, and then all of them died in the river, but the time it took was a bit long.
The time is long and not far from the shore, that is when the current is too fast, and the people on the boat are rowing hard, but the current will still push the boat downstream and float, and the forward power will be seriously disturbed, so the distance of the voyage is not short, but the position of the forward will be very limited.
The sound of the water in the Yellow River was loud, and the fighting on the other side was even louder, until the last boat was overturned, and the people on the shore did not know that those people had fallen into the water and did not know where they had been swept away, or they were so dutiful to wait and wait, waiting for those who were destined not to return.
In the blink of an eye, the Yellow River, which engulfed 127 people, is still extremely clear, and the boiling water of the river goes from west to east, and the water of the Taotao River flows into the East China Sea after a hundred twists and turns.
But I don't know if the Zhang Liang army who died in the river will also be carried out of the sea and float out of the sea, after all, Liangzhou is thousands of miles away from the East China Sea, and they should be swept to the shore somewhere downstream, becoming a swollen corpse wearing the uniform of the Zhang Liang army.
On both sides of the Yellow River on the edge of Jincheng tonight, people are destined to have no sleep.
The south bank shouted and killed boiling, there were people rushing blood all the time, and after falling to the ground, they slowly turned into a corpse that had lost its body temperature, and there were also people sweating profusely waving weapons to show their blood, the only constant was that the killing continued.
Most of the Zhang's Liangjun on the north shore were awakened, and the people who woke up woke up those who were still sleeping, and then the whole battalion listened to the sound of fighting from the south bank, and all kinds of speculations would come out of the mouths of different people, either worried or expectant, far away from all kinds of unsubstantiated imaginations.
Judging by the movement of the fighting, the deafening sound of horses' hooves and the uninterrupted shouting of killing continued, and it didn't take much thought to know how fierce the battle was.
No one wants to sleep, the little soldiers wake up hungry and listen to the sound, but those who have the conditions are thinking about how to fill their stomachs.
Zhang Zuo is the commander of the whole army, and the people who gather the military tents are also a privileged class, so it's not interesting to just sit with each other and talk to each other, and a temporary banquet has begun.
The current Yellow River is not suitable for swimming, and there is no worry about the Han army crossing the river, although Zhang Zuo, who is extremely hesitant, knows that it is wrong, but he still feels that he can drink appropriately, and he really can't suppress the anxiety in his heart without drinking.
Yes, it's just uneasy, if Zhang Zuo hadn't discovered the abnormality on the south bank of the Yellow River, then he would be a complete fool.
Although he felt that something was wrong, Zhang Zuo still never thought that Zhang Chong would make a desperate bet and do the kind of thing that if he did not succeed in defeating the Han army once, he would suffer heavy losses in the army and then let Jincheng fall.
According to Zhang Zuo's thoughts, if Zhang Chong felt that Zhang's Liangguo had no future, it would be a big deal to surrender, but Zhang Chong did not surrender the city at the beginning, even if the acropolis outside the city was cleaned up and still resisting, it was natural to think that Zhang Chong would not surrender to the Han army.
Zhang Zuo is now worried that Zhang Chong is playing big and playing free, it is the Han army that has long been prepared for Zhang Chong's night attack, and he will plan or something, so that Zhang Chong will not be able to stop after launching, and he is still guessing how many troops Jincheng will lose, and then whether Zhang Chong will have the ability to hold Jincheng after losing how many troops.
Jincheng is extremely important to Zhang's Liangguo, and is the undisputed military town in the east of Zhang's Liangguo, where it has more than once resisted the invading enemy army, thwarted the spirit of the invading enemy, and caused the invading enemy army to bury a large number of soldiers and the city.
Today's Jincheng is even more important, Zhang Zuo also expects Zhang Chong to hold on to the north bank of the Yellow River to cross the river with Zhang's Liang army, relying on the defenders of Jincheng to cooperate with the army crossing the river, to annihilate or defeat the Han army led by Xie An in one fell swoop, and to inflict a good blow on the spirit of the Han State, so that the Han army does not dare to invade again.
If he could defeat the Han army in Jincheng, Lone would be able to send someone to meet Zhang Zuo, the king of Han, who was very optimistic at the beginning of the banquet, and more than once heroically invited his subordinates to raise a glass together, but then his thoughts began to wander: if the two sides could stop fighting, the king of Han would never give up the destruction of Daliang because of a failure Zhang Zuo, who had the highest status, quieted down and thought about it, and Zhang Tianxi also looked like he was out of the world, causing everyone in the tent to become silent no matter how much they had to say.
The silent atmosphere will look awkward, and if you want to hide the embarrassment, you have to raise your glass frequently if you don't binge eat food, and there will be all kinds of utensils bumping against each other in the tent.
Unless it is a special case, otherwise the field garrison will start to light a fire at the first moment, and the fire will be passed down again and again, during which all kinds of food must also be processed, and at the second hour of the second hour, it should be carried to boil the water, waiting for the water to be boiled, and all kinds of food will be mixed together and thrown in, and there will be a mixed miscellaneous pot.
In the foggy weather, the wood placed in the open area is moistened by moisture, and anyone who knows common sense knows that there will be a lot of smoke when the wet wood is burned.
The smoke from the firewood and the fog of nature filled the camp, and the coughing began to appear frequently, but fortunately, the place where the pot was buried and cooked was never the place where the camp was set up, and it was not so stupid to be placed in the limelight, and it was only those men who were recruited.
The army across the river, the south bank was bloody and drifting, and the north bank was sleepless at night, counting this kind of scene did not appear more than once, the most recent one appeared in the battle between the Han army and the Jin army, but that time the Han army crossed the river and fought.
"Gentlemen" Zhang Zuo finally got out of thinking, and he didn't know what he had thought clearly, and he seemed to be in a good mood: "Raise the lamp" The boss spoke up, of course, the people who belonged to this faction immediately raised the wine glass, and the faction that did not belong to Zhang Zuo only raised the glass after Zhang Tianxi made a move.
Zhang Zuo's next sentence should be "drink together", but as soon as his mouth opened, there was a panicked shout outside.
"Great general, great general, the flag of the city head of Jincheng has been replaced, it has been lost, it has been lost" In other words, from waking up to observe in person, to coming back for a period of discussion, to the banquet being set up, time passed unconsciously, and the sky was already bright.
During this period, it was not that there was no intelligence gathered from outside, but it was reported again and again that they couldn't see what was going on the south bank, and they waited to see such a message from the other side.
With a "bang" sound, the wine lord in Zhang Zuo's hand fell on the table without holding it steadily, and had an intimate contact with the plate with a large piece of meat.
It's a wine jue, Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi use bronze jue, and the rest are pottery cups.
What tools are used to represent what status, just like the princes are qualified to eat Ding, there will be the sentence "If you can't eat five Ding, you will be steamed in Wuding", and the tools used are used to highlight status and identity.
It was not only Zhang Zuo who dropped the tools in his hand, but even Zhang Tianxi was also shocked and missed, and those who did not hold it firmly and missed contributed to the crisp sound of the pottery breaking in the tent.
"Zhang Chong, Zhang Chong, this bastard who has more than enough success and more than failure" Zhang Zuo was trembling all over, his eyes instantly widened, and he had an expression of wanting to choose someone to devour: "I don't have that ability, what kind of night attack did the scholar do, but it actually made Xie An take the opportunity to enter Jincheng" The person who entered the account was directly paralyzed on the ground by fright, his limbs were weak and he was at a loss, afraid that the next sentence he heard would be "pull it out and cut it" and the like would be lifeless.
"Explore, probe again" Zhang Zuo stared at the person who reported the news viciously: "If Zhang Chong doesn't organize to recapture the city, you will jump into the big river" The messenger, whose whole body was weak, almost crawled out of the tent with the last strength of his life.

"Calm down, General."
Zhao Chang was one of the few people in the tent who dared to speak up in Zhang Zuo's rage.
He was also very panicked in his heart, but he could pretend to be calm, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "There are more than 100,000 defenders in Jincheng, and there are nearly 70,000 people, and there are only 60,000 under Xie An, among which there are more than 30,000 county soldiers who can't afford to fight tough battles, Zhang Taishou will definitely be able to recapture the city." ” "What Gu is worried about now is how many traitors there are," Zhang Zuo roared angrily: "There must be rebels who should cooperate with the outside to cause the Han army to enter the city."
Lone should have arrested their families before he came, and he should have razed their three tribes."
It is not uncommon for people to defect to the enemy in times of national crisis, and it is impossible to eliminate such people in any country.
Of course, Zhang Zuo knew that many people thought that Zhang's Liangguo was coming to an end, and they were looking for a way back early.
He really did a lot of things to raid his family and exterminate his family, but he only scared those people to be more secretive, and even made some people who originally wanted to see the direction of the wind start to do so, and then changed to appease.
It seems that pacification is more useful than killing, at least it seems that the vast majority of the family says that they will at least fight it.
Now Zhang Zuo seems that the family, whether it is what they say or what they make, is not as good as a fart.
Zhang Tianxi was stunned for a while, looked at Zhang Zuo a few times when he came back to his senses, then picked up the wine jug on the desk and poured it fiercely, wiped his mouth at the end, and walked out of the military tent without saying a word.
There were quite a few people who walked out of the military tent behind Zhang Tianxi, and they quickly caught up after they came out.
"Lord" Zhang Qian asked with a panicked face: "What should I do?"
Zhang Tianxi walked forward in a muffled voice, walked faster and faster, walked a distance and suddenly stopped and turned to look at the big tent where Zhang Zuo was, and could see Zhang Zuo standing outside the tent and looking at himself from a distance.
"Wait" Zhang Tianxi found that his voice was very hoarse, swallowed his saliva and adjusted it slightly, and then said: "Go back to the headquarters to reorganize the army, and come over to tell when you are ready." ” Zhang Qian was stunned and opened his mouth to ask: "The lord of the whole army wants it?"
"In addition, send someone to hurry back to Guzang, be sure to take Yao Ling out of the city, and escort him to Jiuquan first."
Zhang Tianxi withdrew his gaze from Zhang Zuo, looked at Zhang Zuo, who was a little at a loss, and then glanced at those subordinates who were also at a loss: "Let's go to Jiuquan first, and then go to the Western Regions." ” Zhang Qian was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked at Zhang Zuo, and asked, "The general's side" "He knows."
Zhang Tianxi looked up at the sky, and there was no trace of emotion in his voice: "This matter was agreed in advance. ” What is Jincheng It is the military town of Zhang's Liang State, in the hands of Zhang's Liang Army, it is the eastern fortress to resist the invading enemy, once it is captured by the enemy, it will become the bridgehead of the invader.
Once Jincheng was lost, Zhang's Liangguo only had the Yellow River in the east, but Zhang's Liangguo did not have a large-scale sailor, and in the face of a country like Han with a large fleet, the Yellow River was not a natural risk.
Without the Liangguo of the Zhang clan in Jincheng, the Han army had a huge fleet that could send a large army across the river in a very short time.
The Zhao State of Shiqi, who fought with the Han army next to the water system, has already given too many examples, and whoever does not accept the lesson is stupid to the point that he should be killed by his head.
"The great general will surrender to the Han at the right time" Zhang Tianxi smiled miserably, grinned before saying: "We go to the Western Regions, if the king of Han accepts the general's surrender and treats him well, we will also become the courtiers of the king of Han in the near future." ”:
