Chapter 198 There Are Still Traps?
Huang Zhong dismounted to report, Zhang Yu nodded, and asked Dian Wei to take care of the prisoners first.
Zhang Yu slowly walked towards a battlefield. Not long ago, Huang Zhong fought with them, and his blood is still hot now.
"My lord, these people are not bad. They have stronger resistance and much higher combat power." Huang Zhong saw Zhang Yu staring at this small area, so he analyzed it from the perspective of a soldier.
"How do you feel?" Zhang Yu said without turning his head, still looking at the corpse on the ground.
Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully, and then said: "I don't feel like bandits, they seem to have been trained, but they seem to be..."
"Like the army."
Huang Zhong suddenly realized that when he was fighting with them, he really felt like an army.
"My lord, do you doubt?" Huang Zhong was not a fool, he understood what Zhang Yu said.
After a while, Zhang Yu nodded in confirmation and said, "Although their costumes are bandits', their weapons are the same. In addition, I have observed them on the battlefield before."
Zhang Yu had suspected it before, but he didn't have time to think about it. Now he can be sure that they are the army, or have undergone special military training, and they are not bandits anyway.
"My lord, they are so courageous." Huang Zhong said angrily.
The "they" that Huang Zhong refers to are naturally those aristocratic families.
These bandits are just pawns they use, and many bandits don't know why they want to intercept Zhang Yu and the others.
Zhang Yu was not that angry, he had already seen through their faces.
"Set up camp first and take a good rest. I don't know what will happen this way back." Zhang Yu turned and walked back.
Walking into the previous formation, Zhang Yu saw Cai Yong who was looking around.
Cai Yong checked the books very carefully to see if they were damaged.
It can be said that these books are actually Cai Yong's lifeblood, and he is even more nervous than Zhang Yu.
"Miss Cai, I surprised you." Zhang Yu came to Cai Yan's side and said.
Cai Yan glanced resentfully at Cai Yong in the distance, Zhang Yu was the first to comfort him, and Cai Yong only cared to see if his books were damaged.
"It's okay, but is the world really that chaotic? Why are there so many bandits?" Cai Yan pretended to be calm, and then asked.
"A group of Xiao Xiaoxiao, I have already made arrangements for this journey, and I will ensure that you arrive safely." Zhang Yu said.
Suddenly, Cai Yanfang's heart beat, and she gained an unspeakable sense of security from Zhang Yu.
…
Some soldiers started to clear the battlefield, while some soldiers found a place in the distance and started camping.
Zhang Yu transferred the civilian husband and books to the new camp.
"Master Zhang, you must protect these books, and they must not be destroyed."
As soon as the camp was set up, Cai Yong hurriedly came to Zhang Yu and said.
Zhang Yu sent Cai Yong away with a lot of promises.
At night, Ling Cao came to join Zhang Yu with a thousand troops.
In Zhang Yu's camp, several generals were there, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Ling Cao, and Zhou Cang.
"Report to the lord." Dian Wei straightened his body and reported like others: "We lost more than 1,300 in this battle. We wiped out more than 11,000 enemies and took more than 8,000 prisoners."
The loss of more than 1,300 people is still a bit high in Zhang Yu's opinion, because the enemy is a group of bandits who are chaotic.
After Dian Wei finished his report, Zhang Yu asked Ling Cao to speak.
"My lord, we sealed off a large area around the battlefield. We did find a lot of spies and captured some of them, but we didn't get many clues from them. However, the soldiers have stepped up their interrogation, and the escaped bandits have basically been captured by us. Intercepted." Ling Cao said.
This time Zhang Yu's arrangement was very simple. When he was in Luoyang, he sent scouts to contact the various armies, and then let them rush over.
These two men and horses have been secretly keeping a certain distance from Zhang Yu's team.
Having discovered the ambush before, they rested at the spot for more than an hour, so that Huang Zhong and Ling Cao could rush over.
Huang Zhong was in charge of the surprise attack, while Ling Cao was arresting people on the outside, hoping to catch the mastermind behind the scenes.
The result was not bad, none of the bandits escaped, and some spies from the aristocratic families were also caught.
After interrogation, the results came out. These spies came from some small and medium families.
"It's another group of miscellaneous fish." Dian Wei cursed dissatisfiedly.
"Even if it's a miscellaneous fish, I won't let any of them go. I'll take care of them all." Zhang Yu didn't intend to use the army, and there was no substantive evidence. Using the army would easily cause trouble.
But Zhang Yu didn't intend to let them go, so he wanted the intelligence agency to do it.
"It's time to set up another intelligence system." Zhang Yu thought to himself.
He didn't want the intelligence agency to participate in the killing, so that it would easily become an organization like Dongchang Jinyiwei.
Intelligence is specialized in intelligence, and there is no power to arrest people and kill people.
And Zhang Yu currently has no one else who can take revenge on these aristocratic families, so he will use them first, and then go back to build another system.
It's over.
Zhang Yu asked them to rest separately.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yu and the others continued to set off.
Ling Cao was left to guard the prisoners.
"My lord, what should we do with these captives?" Ling Cao asked as he was leaving.
"There are not so many aristocratic families to deal with, let them build the road first, and then deal with it later." Zhang Yu said.
Ling Cao took the lead, and Zhang Yu set off with the team. This time Huang Zhong followed them directly and acted as a scout.
The team was unhappy, because they brought a lot of things, and there were several carriages with Cai Yong and the others.
Ten days later, Zhang Yu and the others had only made half of the journey.
"When I go back this time, it's already winter, and a year has passed." On the way, Zhang Yu sighed.
The past ten days have been very smooth and no one has disturbed him, but Zhang Yu feels that this is abnormal, and those aristocratic families will not give up so easily.
Just a few days ago, Yuan's house in Luoyang.
"Trash, it's all trash, and it was designed by someone." Yuan Kai cursed angrily.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu bowed their heads in silence. They thought that the design was good this time, and it would be difficult for Zhang Yu to escape this disaster.
Who would have thought that Zhang Yu had discovered their conspiracy long ago, and conversely designed them to trap those bandits.
Yuan Wei didn't care about the life and death of those bandits at all, they just paid off these bandits, and they didn't know how much they spent.
Spending money is a small matter, the key is that Zhang Yu and those books are still there.
"You go down first, the old man has other arrangements for this matter, this Zhang Yu is not easy to deal with." Yuan Kai said to the two after losing his temper.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were hit by Zhang Yu's blow, and they were depressed. They didn't dare to argue with Yuan Kai, so they could only retreat.
This was the second time Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu fought against Zhang Yu, and they still lost miserably.
Zhang Yu and the others walked on the main road for another two days, passing a county town, and they had just left the county town not long ago.
"Ahead is Lord Zhang Yuzhang's team." On the main road, a 3,000-strong army asked in the middle of the road.
After Huang Zhong found out, he put the army on alert, and he immediately reported to Zhang Yu.
"My lord, I found an army ahead, I want to see my lord by name."
"Let's go and have a look." Zhang Yu was also puzzled, how could there be an army waiting for him here.
"This is Zhang Yu, may I ask your Excellency?" Zhang Yu asked when he saw the general.
"Master Zhang, Song Yang, the last general, is ordered by the court to protect the safety of Mr. Zhang's team." The other party replied.
Zhang Yu was even more puzzled, could the court send troops to protect him?
