Zhang Xiu, the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Li Dao was wearing heavy iron armor and stood against the female wall. Hearing the shouts of the city, his face changed suddenly, first red, then Tie Qing.

"Whew. Li Wei pinched the female wall with his right hand, and used it so hard that his fingers were innocent and his bones could be seen.

It's a great shame, a great shame.

Seeing this, Li Or felt that it was not good, and stepped forward to persuade: "Brother." Zhang Xiu has the courage of Xiang Yu, this is his trick, and he can't be tricked.

Li Dao exhaled when he heard this, and his breath gradually calmed down. But he still flew up with his right foot, kicked the female wall, looked around the crowd viciously, and said: "There are those who dare to speak, kill!!"

After giving the order, Li Wei depressedly pushed open the gate of the city gate tower and went in to drink alcohol. And the soldiers in the city were all speechless.

Although he knows that Zhang Xiu is a "Shenwei Tian General", he has the courage of Xiang Yu. But their main general didn't even dare to fight 10,000 against 5,000.

It's a bit of a shame and ....... Discouraged.

Outside the South City Gate. Zhang Xiu saw seven or eight soldiers with loud voices, shouting at the city for a long time, and his mouth was dry. There was no movement in the city, so he knew that Li Dao Tiexin had made a turtle with a shrunken head. So he called the men back, and had water fetch for them to drink.

Zhang Xiu turned back to Jia Xu and said, "This city is difficult to break. Let's still guard the camp. "

No. Jia Xu promised, and the group was about to go back. But seeing a fast horse galloping from behind, the knight on the horse came to Zhang Xiu, turned over and dismounted and reported: "Report to the general." Ma Teng raised 50,000 troops and went south to Luoyang.

Zhang Xiu showed surprise, frowned and said, "Ma Teng took advantage of my troops to attack my weakness." I thought he would lead the troops to rescue Shang Tai.

"Don't worry, general. Since Ma Teng did not save Shang Tai, Shang Tai must be owned by the general. Jia Xu smiled and bowed to Zhang Xiu.

"What's Wenhe's plan?" Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up and he said with great interest. The goal of this dispatch is to kill Cheng Yi, and if he can kill Li Dao, it will be a real surprise.

"Ma Teng sent troops to attack Luoyang, and I expected that he would send someone to inform Li Dao first, saying that reinforcements would arrive soon and let him defend it.

"The general can divide his troops into four divisions and surround the city of Shangtai so that not a single fly can fly in and out of the city. After five days, the general burned the western camp and shouted to kill. Li Dao must have thought that the rescue had arrived, and couldn't help but go out of the city to attack, in order to attack from both sides. When the time comes, Li Dao can be killed in one battle, and Shangtai can be won in one battle.

"As for the little yang. There is plenty of grain and straw in the city, and the soldiers and horses are elite. Pang De is the enemy of ten thousand people, and Zhicai appeases the people, and it is not a problem for everyone to work together for two or three months. Furthermore. After General Zhao killed Cheng Yi, he would also return to the army to rescue. When the news reached Ma Teng's army, it would also cause a commotion. Luoyang is strong, and the general should not think of Luoyang. Jia Xu said with a smile.

Zhang Xiu hadn't expressed his position yet, and Fa Zheng beside him had already nodded again and again, as if he was agreeing with Jia Xu's words. Zhang Xiu glanced at the kid, and then pondered for a moment.

He also believes in the ability of Pang De and Xi Zhicai, and also believes that he has been running Luoyang for nearly a year. Finally nodded and said, "Okay, do according to the plan." "

No. Jia Xu promised. Then Zhang Xiu galloped back to the formation with everyone. And changed the plan, divided into four divisions, respectively in the east of the city, north of the city, south of the city, and Xi'an camp.

Zhang Xiu and the 5,000 infantry army were placed in the west of the city, intending to act according to the plan.

Zhang Xiu acted like this, and the soldiers of Li Dao in the city naturally saw it clearly, entered the city gate tower, and reported to Li Dao. After Li Wei heard this, he didn't care about drinking alcohol, and came out to check in person, looking restless.

Whoever besieges the city, it will inevitably besiege three and lack one, and set up ambushes on the road to life. And now that Zhang Xiu has surrounded four city gates, is it not impossible to kill him?

There is not enough food in the city, if the rescuers are blocked. He could really be trapped in the city.

Li Dao's face shook, revealing an impatient look. But there is nothing that can be done. Zhang Xiu threatened that the cavalry would retreat ten miles and meet his 10,000 elite soldiers with 5,000 infantry troops, but he did not dare to fight.

Now that the army is divided into four gates, of course he does not dare to fight.

I can only wait, I can only wait.

.........................

On the road leading to the west, Zhao Yunzheng led 3,000 elite soldiers from his headquarters. The army did not bring any siege equipment, only a small number of tents and food.

Not to mention weapons, but arrows are only ten arrows per archer. It is really a light army moving forward, and if it is not victorious, I am afraid that it will suffer.

Liangzhou is vast and sparsely populated, although this road is also wide, but it is actually an unpopular road, and few people usually walk.

Zhao Yun also dispatched all his light horsemen as sentinels and scouts to listen to Cheng Yi's movements.

If Cheng Yi received Ma Teng's news and immediately sent troops north to Jicheng, then he should go to the vicinity.

It was noon.

Scouts and sentinels came to report that Chengyi's army had not been found nearby. Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan were a little anxious.

Although the weather was getting cooler now, they were marching fast, and the soldiers were a little hot. When Zhao Yun saw this, he ordered the soldiers to rest in place and bury the pot to cook.

Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan each sat on a stool and talked to each other.

"Big brother. According to reason, Cheng Yi should have already walked nearby. But we didn't run into it. He either walked fast or slowly. It is necessary for us to send out the horses and go further to find out the situation. Xia Houlan said while drinking the water in the sheepskin bag.

"Hmm. Zhao Yun nodded, tore open a piece of hard mutton jerky, put it in his mouth and melted it with saliva, and then chewed.

Anyway, as long as Cheng Yi sends troops, he is nearby, and there is no need to doubt. Zhao Yun immediately ordered Tanma to gallop farther away to find Cheng Yi's traces.

.............

Yucheng.

This city is located close to the Qinling Mountains, and its geographical location is quite remote. Because of this, Cheng Yi gathered thousands of families and seized the city.

It's like Song Jian, and it's also partial and safe. However, Cheng Yi's power is not as strong as Song Jian, and he only has 5,000 elite soldiers, including 1,000 cavalry.

There are many rebel leaders like Cheng Yi in Liangzhou. It's like chicken ribs, if Ma Teng sends troops to attack Cheng Yi, Cheng Yi may flee into the Qinling Mountains, wait for Ma Teng to leave, and then come back.

It's a pity to discard it.

Therefore, Ma Teng and Han Sui united with these rebel leaders to increase their military strength.

If Chengyi's army is defeated, the strength of the Liangzhou rebels such as Ma Teng and Han Sui will be less than 5,000 people, and the population will be thousands less.

Of course, Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Cheng Yi certainly couldn't imagine that Zhang Xiu was a Ming plank road and a secret Chen Cang, and it seemed that he wanted to break through Shangqi and kill Li Ji to avenge Zhang Ji. In fact, he ordered the general Zhao Yun to come with light troops and attack and kill Chengyi.

In Yucheng that day, Cheng Yi received the news that Ma Teng invited him to send troops together. He didn't think much about it, but gathered all the elites of the 4,000 infantry army and 1,000 cavalry, and went to the northwest in a real way, intending to join Ma Teng on the way and attack Luoyang.

Originally, Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiuliu must have been Cheng Ma Teng to rescue Li Dao of Shangtai, but they didn't expect Ma Teng to attack Luoyang. As a result, there was a slight deviation from Chengyi's march route.

Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan didn't find Cheng Yi for a while.

Before leaving, Cheng Yi said goodbye to his Wenchen Chang Xiu at the gate of the north city.

"Mr. Chang, Yu Cheng will please. The white-faced Cheng Yi said to Chang Xiu.

"Don't worry, general, I will defend the city for a good life, and I wish the general a triumphant return. The scribe dressed as a thirty-year-old Chang Xiu, smiling and hugging his fists.

This scene has been experienced many times. Cheng Yi connected with Ma Teng and Han Sui to attack Sanfu, and there were countless of them.

Regardless of success or failure, Cheng Yi will come back. This time, of course, is no different.

"Let's go. After Cheng Yi said goodbye to Chang Xiu, he glanced at Yu Cheng, then turned over his horse, took a big gun, and led the horse infantry army to the northeast.

Counting the time, they would join Ma Teng's army in three or four days.

But after a day and a half of walking, Cheng Yi ran into trouble. This morning, it was still very hot. Not long after Cheng Yi gave the order to pull out the camp, he walked about two miles before he got a report from Tanma.

"Report to the general. We met a group of scouts, and after a fight, we returned. "A scout horse of Cheng Yijun, covered with blood, knelt on one knee in front of Cheng Yi's horse.

5,000 elite soldiers also stopped.

"Tanma? Whose Tanma will appear here???? isn't Zhang Xiu attacking Shangqi? He doesn't have the strength to appear here. Cheng Yi's white face showed a thoughtful look, isn't it, Zhang Xiu feigned to attack Shangqi, but he actually came to take his life, right?

Thinking of this, Cheng Yi's heart jumped, this is not good. Zhang Xiuxiao is brave and good at fighting, even if he leads 2,000 troops to fight here, he is not an opponent.

"Can you find out who the other party is?" However, Cheng Yi is also an old thief, so he quickly calmed down and asked.

"Listening to the spy report to his home, it seems to be Sima from another department, Changshan Zhao Yun. The scout hesitated for a moment before reporting.

Really. Cheng Yi laughed angrily and said: "Self-reported family can be regarded as hearing the news? What if Zhang Xiu reported his family and said that it was Changshan Zhao Yun? "

No. The scout shook his body, hurriedly agreed, turned over and went to inquire again.

However, although Cheng Yi was furious, he guessed that this team of people might be Changshan Zhao Yun's.

Ma Teng's news is very clear, Zhang Xiu's 20,000 horse infantry troops are all in Shangqi. Except for Zhang Xiu, who can command 20,000 elite soldiers to fight? Aren't you afraid that the whole army will be annihilated?

After thinking for a while, Cheng Yi guessed something. Then he sneered: "Maybe Zhang Xiu's original purpose is really not Li Dao." It's me. He besieged Shangqi with a large army and bluffed. Attract me to send troops to join Ma Teng, and then send this leader named Zhao Yun to kill me. "

But Zhao Yun? If Zhang Xiu came, I would immediately turn against me and withdraw quickly. If Zhao Yun is such an unknown person. A thousand come, a thousand die.

Cheng Yi was a little annoyed and angry, his right hand shook, and he vibrated the gun and played a spear flower.

Soon after, the detective returned the news and reported it.

"It is indeed Zhao Zijingqi, about 3,000 people, and listening to the accent, it seems to be from Hebei.

When Cheng Yi heard this, he immediately turned his anger into joy, and said with a smile: "Okay." It's a good Zhang Xiu, and he really sent an unknown person here. Seeing that I killed Zhao Yun, defeated the 3,000 soldiers and horses, took the horses and baggage, and then went to Ma Teng to ask for credit. "

Someone. The whole army went east to intercept and kill Zhao Yun. "
