The Three Kingdoms: I asked you to save Guan Yu, not to destroy Sun Quan.
Chapter 77 Capturing Zhang Cheng Alive and Annihilating the Wu Army
Guan Xing was someone who had been exposed to the workplace in later generations. He was as shrewd as a monkey when it came to hair. How could he not know what Zhang Cheng was up to?
Knowing that the longer the situation dragged on, the worse it would be for him, he chose to act unpredictably. When Zhang Cheng thrust his spear at him, he directly smashed his sword at Zhang Cheng's face.
They threw away their weapons before the fight even started?
Are you out of your mind?
Zhang Cheng didn't have time to complain and quickly turned his head to dodge. Guan Xing had been waiting for this opportunity. Taking advantage of Zhang Cheng's inattention, he also turned to avoid the spear thrusting at him, then grabbed the spear shaft with both hands and quickly turned around, throwing it over his shoulder.
Using a gun barrel as a support for a shoulder throw, I doubt only Guan Xing would do something like that.
Zhang Cheng was caught off guard by Guan Xing's actions. His expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly released the gun barrel, but it was too late. Before he could even let go, he was sent flying.
Although he didn't take off, his center of gravity was already unstable. Guan Xing released the gun barrel, turned around quickly, grabbed his twisted right arm, and threw him over his shoulder.
This time, Zhang Cheng couldn't escape. He was swung around in a big circle and crashed down in front of Guan Xing from behind.
Guan Xing squatted down, turned around, and used a scissor kick to lock Zhang Cheng firmly to the ground.
"Quickly, save the general!"
Zhang Cheng's personal guards panicked and rushed in like madmen to try to rescue him. However, Guan Xing also had his own personal guards who fought desperately to block the Wu army from coming to their aid.
At the same time, Wang Tao, who had been following Guan Xing closely, acted quickly. He took off his belt and first tied it around Zhang Cheng's legs, then he and two other teammates piled up on top of Zhang Cheng's body.
Guan Xing was thus freed. He stood up, drew his dagger, and held it to Zhang Cheng's throat, shouting, "Stop it, all of you, or I'll kill him!"
The guards were so frightened that they stopped and retreated. Zhang Cheng was pulled up, tied up, and completely subdued.
Only then did Zhang Ming and You Yong lead their troops to attack from both sides, and they were dumbfounded when they saw Zhang Cheng, who had already been captured.
What's going on? How could the general have been captured so quickly? Is Guan Anguo really that skilled in martial arts?
Guan Xing, not caring about further words, still held the dagger to Zhang Cheng's throat and roared, "Zhang Cheng has been captured. You will all surrender immediately."
After saying that, fearing that Wu Jun, who was further away, might not hear him, he continued, "Everyone, shout it out in unison."
The Han soldiers gathered around him shouted, "Zhang Cheng has been captured! You must surrender immediately!"
Hundreds of people shouted in unison, their roars soaring into the sky.
After wandering around the camp for half a day, Gan Xun finally found the provisions and repelled the garrison. He was about to light a fire when he was stunned and asked in surprise, "What's going on? Zhang Cheng has been captured. Should I still light this fire?"
This is grain supplies after all; it would be a shame to burn it.
After a moment's thought, Gan Xun ordered, "You all shout together and ask General Guan whether the grain supplies are still being burned?"
The Han army on this side also shouted in unison, and the shouts easily reached Guan Xing's ears, truly proving the saying that communication basically relies on shouting.
Hearing the shouts from next door, Guan Xing rubbed Zhang Cheng's face with the blade of his dagger and laughed, "General Zhang, tell me, should I burn this grain or not?"
Zhang Cheng sighed in frustration, "Fine, I surrender."
If you're willing to gamble, you have to accept the consequences. This isn't like attacking the Xiongnu or the Qiang and Hu tribes; there's no need to make soldiers fight to the death to prove their loyalty.
The main reason was that Zhang Cheng didn't want to die, and he knew that even if he died, Guan Xing would have a high probability of breaking through the encirclement. At that time, the Wu army, which was surrounded on all sides and had its food supplies burned, would still be doomed.
Since the outcome is already predetermined, why struggle in vain? Just accept your fate!
Upon seeing Zhang Cheng surrender, the nearby Wu soldiers laid down their weapons.
Guan Xing laughed and said, "Tell Gan Xun not to burn the grain supplies, they're ours now."
The rest was easy. Guan Xing ordered his men to tie up Zhang Mingyou and other officers, then ordered the Wu army to disarm, send all their armor and weapons to the commander's tent for safekeeping, and then let them go back to rest.
Upon hearing this, Wu Jun and his team breathed a collective sigh of relief. Damn it, they could finally sleep in until they naturally woke up. These past two days had been exhausting.
Wu Jun could rest, but Guan Xing dared not sleep. He ordered Gan Xun to personally guard the armor and weapons, and at the same time ordered Ning Huan to rush to Zhuji and transfer more troops to escort the prisoners together.
Then Guan Yan was ordered to deliver a message to Ji Jie, instructing him to move to Wushang City. After finishing, he was to rush to Damu to deliver a message to Xie Chong, instructing Xie Chong to bring Zhou Xun and Zhuge Ke to Zhuji as soon as possible to join him.
Now that Wu Jun has been completely annihilated, how to deal with these three old men has become a headache.
As for Zhang Chengyou and others, they quickly fell asleep, just like the ordinary Wu soldiers.
They didn't sleep before because they were worried about a sneak attack by the Han army, but now that they've all been captured, what's there to worry about?
This place is only ten miles away from Zhuji. Before dawn, all of Gan Xun's troops arrived, while Wu's army slept until noon. After eating a simple meal, they were escorted to Zhuji by Guan Xing.
On the way, Guan Xing accompanied Zhang Cheng and said with a smile, "General Zhang, if I said that last night I only wanted to burn the grain and had no other intentions, would you believe me?"
That's so damn infuriating!
Zhang Cheng glared at him and said, "Are you here to humiliate me?"
Zhang Cheng felt truly frustrated by this battle. If it weren't for the harassment of the previous two days that kept Wu Jun from sleeping well, how could he have fallen into Guan Anguo's trap last night?
Guan Xing laughed and said, "How could that be? You almost became my father-in-law. How could I dare to humiliate you? I just wanted to ask if your daughter is really betrothed to someone, and who she is betrothed to?"
On the day Guan Yu entered Jianye, the first thing he did was to ask Zhang Zhao to propose marriage, intending to have Zhang Zhao marry his granddaughter to Guan Xing, but Zhang Zhao ruthlessly refused.
Zhang Zhao's granddaughter is Zhang Cheng's daughter. Zhang Cheng was a handsome man, so his daughter must be quite good-looking.
Zhang Cheng sneered, "Don't worry, even if I raise a daughter for my whole life, I will never marry her to you."
You think you can treat me like this and still marry my daughter? You're dreaming!
Guan Xing touched his nose and chuckled awkwardly, "If you don't want to marry me, then you don't have to. Why get angry?"
There were no traps on the road ahead, and the Han army quickly arrived at the city of Zhuji with the prisoners. Meng Jun came out of the city to greet them and imprisoned all the Wu army prisoners in the unprepared military camp, while Zhang Cheng, You Yong, and others were imprisoned in the county government office.
Then Guan Xing summoned Ning Huan and instructed him, "Pay close attention to the Shanyin direction these next few days. The Prefect of Kuaiji, Chunyu Shi, might be sending us supplies."
It's obvious without investigation that Zhang Cheng would definitely contact Shanyin to replenish supplies and troops, and might even order Prefect Chunyu Shi to lead his army to join forces with him in attacking Zhuji City.
Judging by the time, the troops and supplies from the direction of Shanyin should be arriving soon.
After arranging the trivial matters, Guan Xing once again devoted himself to the work of reforming prisoners, attempting to transform them into combat forces.
These prisoners were elite soldiers of the Wu army, and their reformation would certainly be more difficult than that of private soldiers, but Guan Xing was not afraid. He had plenty of time and patience.
After five busy days, Xie Chong arrived with Zhou Xun and Zhuge Ke, and Guan Xing immediately arranged for them to meet with Zhang Cheng.
Inside the county government study, Zhang Chengzhou, Zhuge Ke, and Zhang Chengzhou looked at each other for a long time. Zhuge Ke sighed helplessly, "Brother-in-law, you've really been captured. I was counting on you to save me...sigh..."
Zhang Cheng sighed, feeling so ashamed he wanted to disappear into the ground.
Their army of tens of thousands was completely annihilated by Guan Xing's two or three thousand ragtag troops. Who would believe that?
Zhou Xun said weakly, "What do you think Guan Xing will do to us? He won't kill us, will he?"
Zhuge Ke said confidently, "No, Guan Xing wouldn't dare to kill anyone."
Zhou Xun said speechlessly, "That's because I don't dare to kill you, but it's not necessarily the case with the two of us."
"If this bastard treats us like he did Gu Mu, dragging us out for a public trial as well, we'd rather be dead."
Zhuge Ke: "..."
Unexpectedly, I was once again protected by that uncle I had never met before.
I suddenly realized that having an uncle in the enemy country is actually quite nice.
