Chapter 696 Abandoned Son(1/2)
Zhang Zhao and Sun Quan and his group read the checkpoint of the West Gate without any danger. In front of them, no soldiers would block the city gate and prevent the people from passing through. After passing this city gate, it would be really a bird jumping. Zhang Zhao came to Jiangdong at that time, but he was not alone in his arms.
"So what Sun Ce, so what about Lu Su? It's just Xiao Xiaoer, chase, chase, go to the south gate to find me, I, Zhang Zhao, will still come back." Zhang Zhao stayed for a while and was about to turn around and leave, suddenly a team of cavalry came from the west gate. The one in front of him immediately shouted, "According to the order of the Secretary of Lu Su Lu, close the two gates of the east and west cities, all the people are not allowed to leave the city, and those who leave the city will be recovered immediately!"
"Not good!" Zhang Zhao felt panicked. He underestimated Lu Su. He actually realized that he was no longer the south gate. He was not afraid of closing the two east and west gates. He was afraid of recovering the people who had already left.
The common people have no frames and only have a pair of legs. How can they run past these soldiers riding on war horses?
"Boom boom boom boom!" The forks between the two city gates of the west gate and the east gate were directly surrounded by horse railings. All the people were not allowed to pass. However, the people who had already left the city were ordered to stand aside and wait for verification. Those who ran a little further were driven back.
"Sir Zhang, what should I do now!" Sun Quan was also panicked. If he was stopped and identified one by one, they would not even want to escape.
"Lord, don't panic!" Zhang Zhao calmed down. I have to say that Zhang Zhao was still very capable, and he was calm even at this time.
"Zhang Da, Zhang Er. Just go to the crowd quickly and say. Lu Su and Sun Ce have to settle the score later. All the people fighting on the city wall will be arrested and executed. They are like arresting people now! Go quickly!" Zhang Zhao shouted to the two servants next to him.
"Yes!" Zhang Da, Zhang Er and the others nodded and took the order.
"What's wrong? Why don't we go back!"
"Yes, yes, this battle is over, let's go home. We don't want to be in the city anymore!" The people were talking about it, some were worried and some were afraid. Originally, the people were forcibly captured by Sun Quan and were forced to come to the city. Now that Sun Quan has been defeated, the people thought they could go out, but they were driven back.
Zhang Da and Zhang Er got into the crowd and were talking about the crowd, and they squeezed towards such a place more and more.
"I heard that, General Sun Ce is going to settle the score!" Zhang Da spoke first.
"Set the accounts? What kind of battle?" The people next to him didn't understand. The war brought us into the city. If we stopped fighting, we would naturally release us.
"What's the calculation? Haha. You all think of Mr. Wu too well!" Zhang Da sneered twice, "You all went up to the city wall and killed so many of Mr. Wu's subordinates. Will he not settle the calculation with you? Are you joking?"
"That was also forced, it was Sun Quan who forced us." Some people retorted.
"Forcing you, you'll kill me too!" Some people who had just taken off their armor and put down their swords changed.
"We didn't kill, we were fine." Some people were very grateful because they didn't go to the battlefield.
"So what if you didn't kill? Can you say that your family has no relatives on the city wall? Can you say that you can say that? No matter what, you are all thieves. Sun Ce wanted you to have a knife and then he saw it. Now he saw that those soldiers were going to capture you back to the city center and kill thousands of people. I would like to warn you." Zhang Da didn't say anything dead. If Sun Ce wanted to kill all these people, it would be unrealistic. Killing thousands of people would be in line with the truth.
Thousands of people will think about whether they will take care of themselves. An emotion called panic spreads among these people.
"This is done so well!"
"Yes, this is a turn to our house, hey!"
Looking at the panic of the people below, Zhang Da and Zhang Er sneered twice, "I want to live, there is no way out!"
"Tell me quickly, tell me quickly!" There are naturally people beside me, Zhang Da and Zhang Er used it as a life-saving straw.
"If you want to survive, then run away."
"This Sun Ce army soldiers asked us to stop." Some people hesitated.
"If you want to survive, just listen to him. If the law does not blame the public, rushing out is a way out. If you run together, he can still recover all of them." Zhang Dazhang Er encouraged him.
"Yes, the law does not blame the masses, let alone staying, it is death. If you can't rush out, it is better to fight." Those ruthless men who have been on the city wall who have been Sun Quan's soldiers and clenched their teeth and were about to fight.
Zhang Da and Zhang Er looked at each other and saw a smile in each other's eyes, and they succeeded.
"What are you doing? You haven't gone back yet. I haven't heard the order from Shangshu Lu, everyone will go back to the city." Some soldiers there noticed and shouted to the people here.
These people looked at each other, but instead of retreating, they headed towards the periphery. The soldier frowned and was about to step forward and join the people who were about to leave.
Just as the soldiers of Sun Ce's army approached these people, two great men suddenly rushed out of the inside, tied up the soldiers of Sun Ce's army one in front and the other behind.
"What do you want to do?" Sun Cejun was stunned.
"What do you want to do? I naturally want to kill you." As he said that, he twisted the head of Sun Ce's soldiers and twisted his neck.
"The bold and unruly people dared to attack and kill the official army." The soldiers of Sun Ce's army on the other side saw the situation here and immediately drew out their battle swords.
"What are the villagers waiting for? They just want to settle the score after the autumn. They will die if they return to the city, and they will die if they can't rush out. It's better to fight with them." Zhang Da and Zhang Er yelled.
"Fight, fight!" There are so many people. The soldiers of Sun Ce's army were unable to react for a moment, but were rushed by the people. Many ordinary people who were honestly following the government army to go back to Kuaiji also began to flee.
"Catch it, capture it all for me!" Sun Ce's leader became popular. These troublemakers went up to the city wall to help the evildoers when they were in the city. Now that the city has been broken, they dare to attack the official army. Isn't this seeking death?
"Slow!" Just when the leader of Sun Ce's army was about to kill, he was stopped. It turned out that Lu Su and others had arrived. Sun Ce went to the east gate, and Lu Su came to the west gate. He looked at the chaotic people below and frowned, but then he relaxed, and even a sneer appeared on his face.
"Zhang Zhao, Mr. Zhang, you are really showing off your strength." If the people had not rushed to the front line this time, it would be difficult for Lu Su to find Zhang Zhao, because Lu Su speculated that Zhang Zhao was not going to the authentic tunnel, which was just a speculation. If Zhang Zhao really left the authentic tunnel, he would have no way to do so.
But now, Lu Su's guess was confirmed, that was that Zhang Zhao did not leave the authentic tunnel in his home. Instead, he walked openly and honestly. Lu Su stopped the captain of Sun Cejun. There was a reason. If the killing was launched, then the people would be annoyed to take it back.
Lu Su stood on the high ground and looked at the direction of the people below. He was roughly divided into three groups. One type of person ran towards the rural fields. These individuals had homes there and subconsciously wanted to go home. Zhang Zhao could not be among these individuals. Zhang Zhao absolutely did not want to stay in Jiangdong for a moment. A group of people ran towards the deep mountains and forests over there. These hunters who mostly made a living hunting, or those who were familiar with the forest. Sometimes young people could not bear the humidity of the forest in the dense forest. With Zhang Zhao's personality, they could not go there. Some people were heading towards the Yangtze River there. These people wanted to leave by water.
"Send the order! Those people who go to the dense forests and the countryside will let them go. All the soldiers and horses are blocked at the estuary of the Yangtze River. We must not let alone cross the river," this is a tributary of the Yangtze River waterway.
"Yes!" Sun Cejun's leading captain nodded and rushed directly towards the Yangtze River estuary with thousands of troops under his command.
"Not good!" Although Zhang Zhao was also rushing, he was also looking around. This was an old fox. He looked at the brigade of officials and troops and ignored the people who went to the dense forests and the countryside and went straight toward the estuary of the Yangtze River there. He knew it was not good, which meant that his whereabouts seemed to have been discovered.
"Shi Zhang? If this official army blocks the river entrance, I will not be able to leave." Sun Quan also became anxious and asked Zhang Zhao.
"It's okay!" Zhang Zhao stared at Sun Quan and his eyes turned, "Lord, we need to divide the troops into two groups, otherwise you and I will definitely be captured together."
"Soldiers divided into two groups?" Sun Quan was stunned for a moment.
‘Yes, lord, you are young. You run towards the lush forest, hide in the forest and wait for this wave of storm to pass by, and you come out again!” Zhang Zhao said to Sun Quan.
"What about you, Master Zhang?" Sun Quan asked in confusion.
"I, I'm so old that I can't go to the dense forest. I'll still go by water. If I can go out, go out. If I can't go out, just cover up your lord. As long as you can escape, you will not waste Zhang Zhao's efforts." Zhang Zhao said to Sun Quan with a generous expression of death.
"Sir Zhang, then take care of yourself." Sun Quan is a man with purple hair and blue eyes, and is cold-hearted in nature. If he were someone else, even Liu Da'er would be hypocritical and artificial. Sun Quan would not, and now he would have only divided his troops, otherwise he would be arrested together by the river.
"Well! Master, take care of yourself! Zhang Da and Zhang Er, you all go and protect your lord and never let your lord suffer any losses!" Zhang Zhao said to the two generals under his command.
‘Yes!” Zhang Da, Zhang Er nodded and walked behind Sun Quan, and Sun Quan did not refuse. Since you, Zhang Zhao, are ready to sacrifice yourself, give me these useful things.
Sun Quan left without looking back and headed towards the dense forest there. However, he did not see the sneer in Zhang Zhao's eyes.
"Master, is it worth doing this? General Zhendong?" The old woman next to her spoke. General Zhendong is too different, so she abandoned Zhang Zhao like this. Zhang Zhao said so much to protect you. You didn't have any words of comfort.
"Haha, of course it's worth it, why not!" I thought Zhang Zhao would be angry, but I didn't expect that Zhang Zhao would smile strangely.
"Okay, let's go, the boat is still waiting for us." As he said that, Zhang Zhao and the old woman continued to walk towards the river.
"Zhang Da, Zhang Er, right? As long as I, Sun Quan, escapes, will inevitably have your benefits!" Sun Quan made a wish to Zhang Da and Zhang Er, hoping to convince these two people to return home.
"Thank you, General Zhendong. But we may not be able to get your benefits." Zhang Da and Zhang Er said to Sun Quan with a expressionless face.
"What does it mean?" Sun Quan saw the direction of the dense forest there and was about to reach the lush forest. As long as he entered the forest, he could get rid of Lu Su's pursuit. "Go away!"
"We don't have to leave!" Zhang Dazhang Er said.
"Huh?" Sun Quan frowned and thought they were going to pursue their own head of the family. "Sir Zhang. It's there to cover us, and he can't get away."
"No, the head of the family can leave." Zhang Da and Zhang Er smiled strangely.
Although Sun Quan was puzzled, he still walked towards Maolin over there regardless of the matter, but was suddenly caught by Zhang Da and Zhang Er.
"What are you doing? If you want to go with Zhang Zhao, go by yourself. Don't take me with you!" Sun Quan scolded Zhang Dazhang Er.
"Do you're buried with me!" Zhang Da and Zhang Er said to Sun Quan.
"Dream with you?" Sun Quan widened his eyes, but then he understood what it meant.
"Sun Quan is here, Sun Quan is here!" Zhang Da and Zhang Er shouted loudly there.
"You are crazy!" Sun Quan widened his eyes.
"We are not crazy." Zhang Dazhang Er smiled at Sun Quan. "General Zhendong, you and our heads are at the same time as the emperor and the ministers. Without our heads, you would not be there. Now, you, General Zhendong, are not here, and you are probably still in that prison. So our heads want to get rid of you, that is, use you to cover our heads."
Sun Quan wanted to run away, but was controlled by Zhang Da and Zhang Er.
"Report to the Secretary of Lu, and someone found Sun Quan's traces in the Maolin." A soldier came back to report there.
"Did you find the second young master?" Lu Su and Sun Quan had a friend after all, and did not make Sun Quan a rebel, so they called the second young master.
"Yes!"
“Is the news reliable?”
"Several people who have met Sun Quan said that it was Sun Quan." The soldier said to Lu Su.
"The second young master is in the Maolin?" Lu Su was stunned for a moment. He was wrong in guessing that they did not run towards the riverside?
"Shangshu Lu is doing this now?" The people under his command asked Lu Su.
"Go to Maolin!" Sun Quan's appearance completely interrupted Lu Su's thoughts. Lu Su couldn't understand why Sun Quan appeared in Maolin.
Halfway through the way, Lu Su suddenly asked Sun Ce's soldiers beside him, "How did you find Sun Quan?"
"It was discovered by ordinary people!" Sun Cejun soldiers said,
What the people discovered? Lu Su's brows were frowning even deeper, "How many people are there in total?"
"Three!" The gentry of Sun Cejun replied.
"Three? So Zhang Zhao is also inside?" Lu Su didn't understand Zhang Zhao's old bones even more. Do you want to wander around the forest? Is this life-threatening? If that's true, it would be best. Lu Su doesn't have to send troops. Zhang Zhao will definitely die.
"I haven't seen Zhang Zhao! All three of them are strong." Sun Ce's soldiers told Lu Su.
"What!" Lu Su was stunned for a moment. They were about to arrive there and found Sun Quan.
"Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zhao, my good teacher Zhang!" Sun Quan finally knew why Zhang Zhao asked him, Sun Quan to come to Maolin, and asked Zhang Da and Zhang Er to join him. This was not to help him, Sun Quan escape, but to use his Sun Quan as a cover, and treat him, Sun Quan as an abandoned son, so that Zhang Zhao could escape soon.
