Zhang Zhao and Sun Quan's group passed through the checkpoint of the west gate without any danger. In the front, there is no soldier who will block the city gate to prevent the people from passing through. Well, Zhang Zhao came to Jiangdong at that time, didn't he just come empty-handed
"So what about Sun Ce, 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 group of cavalry came from the west gate, and the one in the lead immediately shouted, "By the order of Lu Sulu Shangshu, the east and west gates are closed, and all the people are not allowed to leave the city. Those who leave the city should be recovered immediately!"
"Not good!" Zhang Zhao panicked. He underestimated Lu Su, and realized that he no longer had the south gate. He was not afraid of closing the east and west gates. What he was afraid of was chasing back those people who had already left. ah.
The common people have no frame, only a pair of legs, how can they run past these soldiers on horses.
"Boom boom boom!" The intersection of the two city gates of the west gate and the east gate was directly surrounded by horse fences, and all the people were not allowed to pass through, but the people who had already left the city in front were ordered to stand aside, waiting for verification, and ran away. Those who were further away were also driven back.
"Master Zhang, what should we do now!" Sun Quan was also flustered, if they were stopped and screened one by one, none of them would be able to escape.
"My lord, don't panic!" Zhang Zhao calmed down, and had to say, this Zhang Zhao is still very capable, even at this time he is calm and composed.
"Da Zhang, Zhang Er. Hurry up and talk among the crowd. Then Lu Su and Sun Ce will settle their accounts afterwards. All the people who fought on the city wall will be arrested and executed. They seem to be arresting people now! Go! " Zhang Zhao shouted to the two servants beside him.
"Yes!" Zhang Da and Zhang Er nodded and went away.
"What's the matter, why don't you let us go back!"
"Yeah, yeah, this battle is over, let's go home. We don't want to be in the city anymore!" Among the people talking, there were some worried and fearful people. The people were originally forced by Sun Quan. They were caught in the city. Now that Sun Quan has been defeated, the common people thought they could go out, but they were driven back.
This Zhang Da, Zhang Er entered the crowd where there was a lot of discussion, the more they crowded towards such a place.
"I heard that General Sun Ce is going to settle the score!" Zhang Da spoke first.
"Settling accounts? What kind of battle is it?" The people on the side didn't understand that this war brought us into the city. If we don't fight this one, we will be released naturally.
"What kind of account? Hehe. You all think Wu Hou too well!" Zhang Da sneered twice, "You go up the city wall one by one and kill so many of Wu Hou's men, he will not settle accounts with you ? Just kidding."
"That was also persecuted, it was Sun Quan who persecuted us." Some people retorted.
"Forcing you, that's also killing!" The faces of some people who had just taken off their armor and put down their swords changed.
"We didn't kill, don't be afraid, we're fine." Some people were thankful 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 it? You are all following thieves anyway. He, Sun Ce, wanted you to kill him, and now you see it , those soldiers are going to take you back to the central area of the city, kill thousands of people, and give you a good warning." Zhang Da didn't say dead words, if Sun Ce wanted to kill all these people, that would be unrealistic , killing thousands of people is still in line with the truth.
With thousands of people, these common people will wonder if they will catch up with themselves, and a feeling called panic spread among these common people.
"This is so good!"
"Yeah, maybe it's our family's turn, hey!"
Seeing the panic of the people below, Zhang Da and Zhang Er sneered twice, "I want to survive, it's not impossible!"
"This little brother, tell me quickly, tell me quickly!" Naturally, someone nearby Zhang Da Zhang Er took it as a life-saving straw.
"If you want to survive, then run away."
"This Sun Cejun soldier told us to stop." Some ordinary people hesitated.
"If you want to survive, you should listen to him. The law does not punish the public. The only way to survive is to rush out. If you run with the fire, he can still chase them all back." Zhang Da and Zhang Er urged.
"Yes, the law does not punish the public. What's more, if you stay, you will die. If you don't rush out, you will die. It's better to fight." Those ruthless people who have been on the city wall and served as Sun Quan's soldiers and horses gritted their teeth. It's about to fight.
Zhang Da and Zhang Er looked at each other and saw a smile in each other's eyes, it was a success.
"What are you doing! Why don't you go back? Didn't you hear Lu Shangshu's order? Everyone go back to the city." A soldier noticed and shouted at the common people.
These common people looked at each other, but instead of retreating, they headed towards the periphery. The soldier frowned, and was about to step forward to add these common people who were about to leave to the team again.
Just when this Sun Ce army soldier was approaching these common people, two big men suddenly rushed out from inside, one in front of the other and tied up the Sun Ce army soldier.
"What do you want to do?" Sun Cejun was taken aback.
"What do you want to do, I naturally want to kill you." As he said that, he twisted the head of Sun Cejun's officer violently, and forcibly twisted his neck.
"Bold and unreasonable people dare to attack and kill the official army." The soldiers of Sun Ce's army over there saw the situation here, and immediately drew their swords.
"Folks, what are you waiting for? They just want to settle accounts after the fall. If you go back to the city, you will die. If you don't rush out, you will die. Why don't you fight them?" Zhang Da and Zhang Er roared.
"Fight, fight!" There are so many ordinary people, those soldiers of Sun Ce's army couldn't react for a while, but they were rushed by the ordinary people, and many ordinary people who were honestly following the officers and soldiers to go back to Kuaiji also began to flee up.
"Catch, catch. Catch them all!" Sun Cejun's leader, the captain, was furious. These gangsters. When I was in the city, I went up to the city wall to help the tyrants. Now that the city has been breached, I dare to attack the officers and soldiers. Isn't that courting death
"Slow down!" Just when the leader of Sun Ce's army was about to kill him, he was stopped by someone. It turned out that Lu Su and others rushed over. Sun Ce went to the east gate, and Lu Su came to the west gate. Looking at the chaotic people below, he couldn't help but frown, but then he relaxed, and even a sneer appeared on his face.
"Zhang Zhao, Mr. Zhang, you are really showing your feet." If there were no common people rushing forward this time, it would be really difficult for Lu Su to find Zhang Zhao. It's just a speculation, if Zhang Zhao really went through the tunnel, he has nothing to do.
And now. But it confirmed Lu Su's guess, that is, Zhang Zhao did not go through the tunnel in his home. Instead, he walked through the west city gate openly and aboveboard. There was a reason for Lu Su to stop this Lieutenant Sun Ce. If the massacre started, it would be annoying if the people wanted 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 people ran towards those rural fields. These individuals had their homes there and subconsciously wanted to Going home, it is impossible for Zhang Zhao to be among these horses. Zhang Zhao absolutely does not want to stay in Jiangdong for a while now, and a group of people ran towards the deep mountains and old forests over there. Lord, or those who are familiar with the forest, young people sometimes can't bear the humidity of the forest in the dense forest, it is impossible to go with Zhang Zhao's character, and some people go to the Yangtze River over there , this group of people wanted to leave by water.
"Pass down the order! Those people who are going to the dense forest to the countryside let them go, and all the soldiers and horses will block me at the mouth of the Yangtze River. I will definitely not let a person cross the river." This is a tributary of the Yangtze River waterway.
"Yes!" Sun Cejun's leading lieutenant nodded and said yes, and rushed directly towards the mouth of the Yangtze River with a thousand troops under his command.
"Not good!" Although Zhang Zhao was also on his way, he was also looking around. He was an old fox. He looked at the officers and soldiers in the brigade, ignoring those people who were going to the dense forest and the countryside, and went directly to the place. If he went to the Yangtze River estuary next to him, he knew it was not good, which meant that his whereabouts seemed to have been discovered.
"Master Zhang? If the officers and soldiers block the mouth of the river, I won't be able to leave." Sun Quan also got anxious and asked Zhang Zhao.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Zhang Zhao stared at Sun Quan twice, and his eyes rolled up. "My lord, we need to divide our troops into two groups, otherwise we will definitely be captured together."
"Split the troops into two groups?" Sun Quan was stunned for a moment.
'Yes, my lord, you are young, you ran towards the lush forest, hid in the forest and waited for the storm to pass before you come out again! "Zhang Zhao said to Sun Quan.
"What about you, Master Zhang?" Sun Quan asked suspiciously.
"I, I'm an old bone, so I can't go to the dense forest. I still take the water route. If I can get out, I will go out. If I can't, I will cover you, my lord. As long as you can escape, my lord, it won't be a waste of time." I have worked so hard." Zhang Zhao said to Sun Quan with a generous expression.
"Master Zhang, take care of yourself." Sun Quan is purple-haired and blue-eyed, and has a cold personality. If it is someone else, even that Liu Daer, he will be hypocritical, but Sun Quan will not, and now he will Only the soldiers are divided into two groups, otherwise they will be arrested together by taking the river.
"En! My lord, take care too! Zhang Da, Zhang Er, you all go to protect the lord, and don't let the lord suffer any loss!" Zhang Zhao said to the two generals under his command.
'yes! "Da Zhang, Zhang Er nodded and walked behind Sun Quan, Sun Quan didn't refuse, since you, Zhang Zhao, are ready to sacrifice yourself, then give me these useful things.
Sun Quan left without looking back and headed towards the dense forest over there. But he didn't see the sneer in Zhang Zhao's eyes.
"Master, is it worth doing this? Is this General Zhendong?" The old woman next to him spoke up. This General Zhendong is too much of a thing, so she just abandoned Zhang Zhao. No matter what Zhang Zhao said, he was just trying to protect you. No words of comfort.
"Hehe, of course it's worth it, why isn't it worth it!" I thought Zhang Zhao would be angry, but I didn't expect Zhang Zhao to smile strangely.
"Okay, let's go, the boat is still waiting for us." After saying that, Zhang Zhao and the old woman continued to walk towards the river.
"Zhang Da, Zhang Er is, as long as I, Sun Quan, escape from birth, your benefits will be indispensable!" Sun Quan was making a wish to Zhang Da and Zhang Er, hoping to win these two people back to their hearts.
"Thank you, General Zhendong. But I'm afraid we won't be able to take advantage of your benefits." Zhang Da and Zhang Er said to Sun Quan expressionlessly.
"What do you mean?" Sun Quan saw the direction of the dense forest over there and was about to reach the lush forest. As long as he entered the forest, he could get rid of Na Lusu's pursuit. "Go!"
"We don't have to go!" Zhang Dazhang said in two words.
"En?" Sun Quan frowned, thinking that they were going after their patriarch, "Master Zhang. It's there to protect us, and he can't leave."
"No, the Patriarch can leave." Zhang Da and Zhang Er smiled strangely.
Although Sun Quan was puzzled, he still walked towards Maolin over there regardless, but was suddenly caught by Zhang Da and Zhang Er.
"What are you doing? If you want to go to the funeral with Zhang Zhao, go by yourself, don't take me!" Sun Quan yelled at Zhang Da and Zhang Er.
"Buried with you!" Zhang Da and Zhang Er said to Sun Quan.
"Buried with you?" Sun Quan's eyes widened, but soon he understood what it meant.
"Sun Quan is here, Sun Quan is here!" Zhang Da and Zhang Er shouted loudly.
"You are crazy!" Sun Quan's eyes widened.
"We're not crazy." Zhang Da and Zhang Er smiled at Sun Quan, "General Zhendong, you and our Patriarch have a relationship with each other. Without our Patriarch, there would be no you, General Zhendong, and you wouldn't be here now, I'm afraid You are still in that prison, so our Patriarch wants to get rid of you for one thing, and that is to use you as a cover for our Patriarch."
Sun Quan wanted to run away, but was controlled by Zhang Da and Zhang Er.
"Report, report to Lu Shangshu that someone in Maolin has found Sun Quan's trail." A soldier came back and reported.
"Did you find the Second Young Master?" Lu Su and Sun Quan were friends anyway, but they didn't call Sun Quan a traitor, and they still called the Second Young Master.
"Yes!"
"Is the news reliable?"
"Several people who have met Sun Quan say that it is Sun Quan." The soldier said to Lu Su.
"The second son is at Maolin?" Lu Su was taken aback for a moment. He guessed wrong, they didn't run towards the river
"What is Lu Shangshu doing now?" the people under his command asked Lu Su.
"Go. Go to Maolin!" The appearance of Sun Quan completely interrupted Lu Su's thinking. Lu Su couldn't figure out how this Sun Quan would appear in Maolin.
Halfway up the road, Lu Su suddenly asked Sun Ce's soldiers nearby, "How did you find out about Sun Quan?"
"It was discovered by ordinary people!" Sun Ce's soldiers said in words,
People found out? Lu Su frowned even deeper, "How many people are there in total?"
"Three!" Sun Cejun's gentry replied.
"Three? So Zhang Zhao is also in there?" Lu Su couldn't understand even more that Zhang Zhao was such an old bone. Could it be that he still wanted to wander around in the lush forest? Could it be that this is life-threatening? If that's the case, it would be the best, Lu Su wouldn't have to send troops, and Zhang Zhao would definitely die.
"I didn't see Zhang Zhao! All three of them are strong men." Sun Cejun's soldiers told Lu Su.
"What!" Lu Su was stunned for a moment, they will soon arrive at the place where Sun Quan was found.
"Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zhao, my good Master Zhang!" Sun Quan finally knew why Zhang Zhao wanted Sun Quan to come to Maolin, and asked Zhang Da and Zhang Er to come with him. This was not helping him and Sun Quan to escape. Just use his Sun Quan as a cover, treat him as an abandoned son, in order to let Zhang Zhao escape early.
"Since you are unkind, Zhang Zhao, don't blame me for being unrighteous! Zhang Zhao is by the river, and Zhang Zhao wants to leave by ferry." Sun Quan suddenly shouted loudly.
"Not good!" All the people on both sides yelled, Zhang Da and Zhang Er yelled because this Sun Quan suddenly yelled out the whereabouts of the Patriarch. Su also yelled.
"Pass my military order, a team of men and horses will escort the second son back to the city, and the rest will come with me!" Lu Su immediately turned his horse's head and rushed towards the tributary of the Yangtze River.
Hurry up, don't stop at all along the way, but when you reach the edge of the tributary of the Yangtze River, small boats have already set off. Lu Su looked into the distance and saw a ragged old man on a small boat looking at the river.
Although the old man was wearing tattered clothes, Lu Su could still tell at a glance that he was Zhang Zhao.
"Lu Su Lu Shangshu, don't send it away, don't send it away, I'm leaving now, waiting for me, I will have a reunion one day!" Zhang Zhao on the bow also saw Lu Su, and went to the shore Lu Su on the side waved his hands and sneered.
For Lu Su, Zhang Zhao is full of hatred. If it weren't for Lu Su, Zhang Zhao would become like this! The huge Zhang family is torn apart, and there are only a few people who escaped from the entire Zhang family. If there is no Lu Su, then his Zhang Zhao is still the number one gentry in Jiangdong. So Zhang Zhao gradually hated Lu Su.
In such words, on the surface it looks like a greeting to a friend, but in fact it is a kind of threat and ridicule, telling you Lu Su, you can't catch me, wait for me, Zhang Zhao will come back.
"Damn it!" Sun Ce, the chief general of the Jiangdong Army, also rushed to the river, and there was no trace of Zhang Zhao outside the south gate or the east gate. Although some people were arrested, they were all irrelevant to the Zhang family The character, upon hearing the movement from Ximen, Sun Ce rushed over non-stop, who knew that Zhang Zhao would still run away.
"Mr. Zhang Zhao, how can you be a thief if you have no revenge! You don't know how many years have passed, if there is a reunion day, Lu Su will definitely let Mr. Zhang Zhao return to his roots." Lu Su also did not lose ground in the slightest, He was very polite to Zhang Zhao, even if he failed to catch Zhang Zhao, he was not so angry, but bowed to Zhang Zhao. Of course, Lu Su would not be scolded and not return his words.
What is Falling Leaves Returning to Their Roots? That's what it means to be dead! Didn't you Zhang Zhao threaten me, you will come back! Alright, I'm waiting for your return, I'm afraid you will be a corpse when you come back, and I will bury you in this Jiangdong.
"Humph! Goodbye!" Zhang Zhao snorted coldly, and got into the cabin. Following the river, the boat went farther and farther away from the sight of Lu Su and Sun Ce.
"Don't be upset, Marquis Wu. This Zhang Zhao left as soon as he left. The Second Young Master has been found." Lu Su said to Sun Ce who was beside him.
"Is this true?" Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, and then a complicated look appeared on his face, with surprise and surprise, and even a kind of anger.
"Really!" Lu Su also saw that our Mr. Zhang Zhao easily treated our second son of the Sun family as an abandoned son in order to escape for his own life. It is pitiful.
"Let's go back to the city. Second Young Master should be waiting for Marquis Wu in the mansion." Lu Su said and rode away.
Zhang Zhao has run away, so there is no need to go to martial law at the west gate and east gate. In the city, the people’s food storage is not much. Kuaiji City is in a mess. Lu Su ordered the people to help clean up the city. Those corpses should be buried. Buried, it should be burned, and all the people who help will distribute food, so Kuaiji City will be cleaned up soon. (to be continued..)
