The last three kingdoms

Chapter 650
I don't know how long it took before the storm finally stopped, but the sky was still reddish-yellow. It would take a long time for these floating dust to land on the ground. Although the visibility was not too high, it could be seen even hundreds of meters away. It's clear.

The bald tree straightened his waist, shook off the dust on his body, looked around, and could not see any traces of the Shu army, and obviously escaped from the encirclement of the Shu army. As for the people around the bald tree , It's already a mess, there are not many people left.

The bald tree machine can secretly say that it is a fluke. After all, in the big sandstorm, it is not buried alive by the wind and sand, and it is difficult to tell the difference between the south, the south and the north. It is very lucky to be able to escape the encirclement of the Shu army. How many people come, that is good luck.

"Boss, I found you." The bald-haired Karasuma rushed over panting, the yellow sand dyed his beard yellow, and the bald-haired Karasuma looked as if he had just stepped out of the sand. The general who climbed out saw the function of the bald tree and saw that he was safe and sound, and couldn't help but shouted in surprise.

The bald tree saw that the bald Karasuma had also broken through safely, so he couldn't help but feel a little relieved. He ordered him to search for the remnants nearby, and gathered about 3000 people. Thousands of people are probably still trapped in the encirclement or lost in the sandstorm, and the hope of survival should not be too great.

Although he was lucky enough to escape, but thinking of the fiasco that nearly wiped out the entire army in this battle, the bald tree function could only sigh up to the sky.

After this battle, the elites of the Xianbei people lost their lives. The overlords who once roamed Hexi have reached the point of dying. The glory of the past is gone, and the glory of the past is gone. .

Ma Xun, the prefect of Dunhuang, also escaped, but the two thousand cavalry he brought were not as lucky as the Xianbei people. Almost all of them were folded in the encirclement.

"The bald leader, why don't we... let's go back to Dunhuang City first, and then worry about it." Ma Xun saw that there were not many Xianbei people left. Without those abilities, he suggested withdrawing first.

There is no other good solution for the function of the bald tree, so I had to follow Ma Xun's suggestion and retreat back to Dunhuang first, and find a place to stay.Considering that the pursuers of the Shu army were imminent, this place was definitely not a place to stay for a long time, so the bald tree immediately picked up the remnants, looked for the direction of Dunhuang, and hurried all the way.

Along the way, the Xianbei cavalry who escaped from the siege and scattered all over the place can also be recruited, but there are not many people in number, and the Xianbei cavalry has already dispersed.

After finally seeing the tall city wall of Dunhuang, Ma Xun regained some of his prestige as the prefect of Dunhuang at this time, and he ordered a few personal soldiers to go to the gate of Dunhuang city.

Before Ma Xun left, he appointed Changshi Hanzhi to take over his duties as prefect to guard Dunhuang City. In order to ensure the safety of Dunhuang City, Han Zhi decided to close the city gate day and night, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving the city gate, so as to prevent spies from mixing in.

The soldiers immediately rushed to the city and shouted loudly at the Jin army guarding the city.But no matter how these guards yelled, the city seemed to be dead silent, no one could be seen, and no sound could be heard. The guards almost broke their throats, and there was still no movement in the city.The soldiers had no choice but to go back and report to Ma Xun.

Ma Xun was also very surprised. Although he ordered Han Zhi to strictly guard the city to guard against the spies of the Shu people, there was no reason for his own soldiers to go to the door to call the door. Could it be that something happened in the city?Or has the Shu army already detoured to the flanks, and has taken the lead in occupying Dunhuang from the Jin army?

However, Ma Xun saw the big banner with the word "Jin" still flying on the top of the city, which proved that Dunhuang City was still in the hands of the Jin army.

Ma Xun rode forward and shouted loudly towards the city: "Where is Han Changshi?"

At this time, a head poked out from the crenel of the city wall, and Ma Xun certainly recognized him as the meritorious Cao Zhang Ji, but seeing Zhang Ji chuckled and said, "Teacher Ma only remembers Han Zhi, but he doesn't remember calling Zhang Ji. "

When Ma Xun was leaving, none of the officials from Dunhuang City brought any of them with him, so Zhang Ji also stayed in the city, led by Han Zhi. He is a little strange.

"So it's Zhang Gongcao, where is Han Changshi?" Although Ma Xun was puzzled, he still asked him.

Zhang Ji laughed loudly and said, "Ma Taishou wants to see Han Zhi, what's so difficult about it!" While speaking, something flew down from the city wall and hit Ma Xun. Fortunately, Ma Xun responded well. , the first time he dodged, and when he came back to his senses, he suddenly found that the thing was a bloody human head, and the head was not someone else's, but Han Zhi's.

Ma Xun was shocked and said: "Zhang Gongcao, you—how dare you kill Chang Shi Hanzhi?"

Zhang Ji shouted: "Mr. Ma, you colluded with the Xianbei people and wanted to dedicate the city to the Xianbei people. This is a great treason and immorality. Although a certain person is not talented, he also knows the hatred of the country and the family. The Xianbei people have repeatedly violated our borders, killing countless people and looting. Cheng Xing, since the prefect is willing to associate with these people, his intention to surrender to the enemy is obvious. Today, a certain is acting as the prefect of Dunhuang temporarily. As for your running dog Han Zhi, I have already beheaded him. Here is the head. Enjoy it."

Ma Xun said angrily, "You man, how dare you do that!"

Zhang Ji didn't pay attention to Ma Xun's scolding, and he looked very contented. Since Ma Xun led his troops away, Zhang Ji expected that Ma Xun and Bald Tree would fail, so he secretly mobilized his troops to fight against the enemy. On the grounds of negotiating the defense of the city, he tricked Han Zhi into the Zhang Mansion to execute him, and took away the seal of the prefect left by Ma Xun, and took away the command of the defenders.

Zhang Ji was firmly opposed to cooperating with the Xianbei people. At this time, Ma Xun and the Xianbei people joined forces to deal with the Shu army. Zhang Ji believed that they were doomed to fail, and if he didn't want to be buried with them, he had to take the initiative.

Furious, Ma Xun negotiated with Bald Tree and immediately sent Xianbei soldiers to attack Dunhuang.

Evidently Zhang Ji had been prepared for a long time, when a bang sounded, the city was immediately rained with arrows.The Xianbei people had just escaped from the encirclement of the Shu army. They were exhausted and lacked a large amount of siege equipment. Facing the highly defensive Dunhuang City, from that point of view, it was an impossible task. .

The Xianbei people were trapped under the city of Dunhuang and fell into a dilemma......
