Chapter 124 Jealousy
After Qiu Liju led all his men back to Youzhou, only Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's troops were left in Jizhou. They were being attacked by Gongsun Zan at this time.
In Zhang Ju's camp, Zhang Ju threw a copper wine glass to the ground and said angry: "Qiu Liju actually escaped first, and he is not a son of man. What did he say when we formed an alliance before? He is really a traitor."
Zhang Chun walked in from outside the tent with exhaustion in his armor and looked at Zhang Ju, who was angry. He leaned over and picked up the wine glass that was thrown on the ground, and put the glass on the table. He said in a plain tone: "Qiu Liju has run away, and it will be useless for His Majesty to get angry now. Why not think about what we should do."
Zhang Ju took his anger to Zhang Chun and said, "You used to say that you wanted to use Qiu Liju, but now he ran away first, and we were used by him. Is this the result of your use of him?"
Zhang Chun looked at Zhang Ju carefully and found that he was already a little drunk. So he said, "Your Majesty, you have to drink less wine at this critical moment, and getting angry cannot change our situation." Then he said sternly: "From the moment of rebellion, I have realized that my body and head are different. Why don't you fear it if you die? Is Your Majesty so afraid?"
Zhang Ju looked at this companion who looked a little crazy, and the drunkenness on his body had dissipated a lot. He said in a panic: "I don't want to die. Qiu Liju can escape. We can run away too. Why do we still have to stay here? Let's take our men back to Liaodong and make plans. In my opinion, the great man's country is already shaky. Let's go back first to lurk in the minions and wait for the opportunity. One day we will be able to come back."
Zhang Chun looked at the emperor who was almost out of control and sighed and said, "There is a boat, how many more days can you live if you run away? You and I are the serious crime of rebellion and cannot escape for a few days."
Zhang Ju didn't listen to what Zhang Chun said at all, and kept repeating his previous words, and his tone even began to beg: "Let's go, let's go. Why are we still staying here now? We can't win anymore. As long as we go to Liaodong, they will definitely not be able to find us."
Zhang Chun took the wine pot that was almost empty on the table, and then reached out to pick up the cup he had just put on the table. He poured all the wine left in the pot into the cup. Looking at the only half of the wine left, Zhang Chun thought a lot, then smiled calmly and raised the cup and drank it all. He said, "Then let's go, it's already failed. I'll walk with you for a while."
Zhang Ju was overjoyed and immediately stood up and started packing his own things, as if he was about to throw the rest of the people away and escape alone.
Zhang Chun smiled bitterly. After all, it was anger and jealousy that caused him to come to this point. He was indeed not as good as Gongsun Zan. But even if he died, he would die. Then he looked up at Zhang Ju, feeling that he could not be as ugly as this person. And he had already made a good sense of enlightenment for this. The only regret was that he was indeed far from Gongsun Zan. Thinking about this, Zhang Chun even laughed out loud, and his voice gradually became more and more presumptuous.
Gongsun Zan and his soldiers stationed troops near Yecheng. In recent days, Gongsun Zan has obviously gained the upper hand.
Yan Gang praised: "General, Zilong's trip has indeed worked. All the Wuhuan people nearby have disappeared. It must be that the county magistrates from all over the country have taken action."
Gongsun Zan said disdainfully: "Maybe they were afraid of my name and fled first. They were just a group of courageous thieves. Even if they were still there, I would kill them together."
Yan Gang echoed: "The general is famous, and all the enemies fled to the wind. I heard that the leader Zhang Chun, the opposite leader, launched a rebellion because he was jealous of the general. From this point of view, he sent more than ten thousand generals."
After hearing this, Gongsun Zan laughed and said, "I won't take a person like him seriously at all. I just can't recognize my own good idiots. We quickly wiped them out and went to find Qiu Liju, as if he could still have some insight."
Yan Gang said: "Even if Qiu Liju is, he will definitely be thousands of times different from the general. The general is a hero who can compete with the champion Hou."
Gongsun Zan was very helpful after hearing these words.
Tian Yu came over and said, "The scout came back and said that there was a commotion in Zhang Ju's camp. Perhaps they would take the next move immediately."
After hearing this, Gongsun Zan immediately ordered: "Let our army be prepared. Whether they are preparing to attack us at night or are preparing to escape, we must respond in time and we must not lose this opportunity."
Liu Chang and Guo Dian walked slowly towards the direction where Gongsun Zan was.
Guo Dian said to Liu Chang: "We should be able to meet this famous general tomorrow."
Liu Chang nodded and said, "Yes, let me see his style tomorrow. I heard that this person is one of the few heroes in the world, and it is not easy to reach this point today."
Guo Dian heard gossip to chat, so he said, "Although I have heard that he came from a famous family, his mother was not valued because of his low status. However, I heard that he was valued by his father-in-law, and he has good luck since then." After that, he looked at Liu Chang and continued, "Mr. Liu seems to have married for a former marriage, so why not follow the example. He will definitely be a high-ranking official in the future."
Liu Chang and Guo Dian were also old friends, so they smiled and opened their eyes and said, "It's because I was born in a humble way that others looked down upon, and people who don't value family backgrounds are also unwilling to get close to me because I am too close to eunuchs. And I don't want to get too close to eunuchs. So I dragged it down."
Guo Dian also sighed: "Everyone has its own difficulties. If I have a daughter, I will definitely marry her to Liu Jun Governor."
Liu Chang smiled and said, "I treat you as a brother, but you want to be my father-in-law."
Guo Dian also burst into laughter.
After a while, the scout once again reported to Zhang Ju's army that he had begun to flee north.
Gongsun Zan was about to lead his army to pursue them immediately.
After Yan Gang stopped Gongsun Zan, he said to him: "General, let's go and meet the Jizhou master first and then pursue the enemy. The general rescues the king's envoy in times of crisis, so he must be able to make friends with him. Those thieves can go over and pursue them at any time, and those people are just scabies that are not in the way. The general still has to put his own affairs first."
Gongsun Zan heard Yan Gang's advice and felt it was reasonable, so he said, "Then let's stay here for a few days. I will visit the King's envoy tomorrow."
