Optimization System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 59

Zhang Yang was killed by Li Yi, who opened the city gate and surrendered with Zhang Yang's head.

Zhang Lan happily accepted Li Yi's surrender, praised Li Yi perfunctorily, and then led the army into the city. Zhang Lan didn't have the slightest liking for this kind of traitor.

The first thing she did after joining the Shangdang was to appease the people, which Zhang Lan directly passed on to Jia Xu.

For Zhang Lan's lazy behavior, in the eyes of Guo Jia, Xu Shu and others, it has become a manifestation of knowing how to use people well and daring to delegate power.

Naturally, Zhang Lan didn't know what was going on in everyone's minds, otherwise he would have secretly laughed, and then pretended to be an outsider and said some emotional words to express his wisdom before he would give up.

Shangdang County was successfully captured, but Yuan Shao's army did not go so smoothly. Yuan Shao's side did not besiege Taiyuan like the rumors spread by Zhang Lan, but attacked Leping to the death, causing considerable damage. When they were about to take Leping, they were repulsed by the support troops who arrived, and they fell into a stalemate again.

On the third day after taking down Shangdang, spies came to report that a group of troops was about to reach Shangdang, but for some reason they turned back the same way, and there was a word written on the banner.

After receiving this news, Zhang Lan convened the National People's Congress headed by Zhang Lan again. After deliberation, she came to the conclusion that due to lack of support and knowing that the Shangdang had fallen, she had no choice but to return the same way.

The facts are exactly the same. The people who came to support were Xiang Feng, the hero who repelled Cao Cao last time. He learned the news of Shangdang's fall on the way, and after inquiring, he knew that Zhang Lan was not injured. Not much, now that Zhang Lan has the advantage of the city wall again, after thinking about it, he decided to return to Taiyuan.

Having tasted the sweetness, Zhang Lan's original strong confidence swelled again, and decided to divide his troops into two groups. The first route went straight to Xihe County, with Li Jue as the general and Guo Si as the deputy general, leading the Xiliang Guards led by Zhang Ren and Zhang Liao. As a military adviser, Jia Xu made suggestions and did not seek speed, but only wished to hold him back from coming to aid Taiyuan. It would be great if he could win.

The second group of troops was naturally led by Zhang Lan himself, and the goal was to go straight to Taiyuan. Shangdang only left behind Zhang Xiu, Li Yi who had just surrendered, Zhang Xiu's 3000 troops, and the Shangdang defenders who had been dispersed. There were 5000 people in the middle. Although Li Yi was a little dissatisfied with this arrangement, it was still acceptable on the whole, so he didn't express too much. After all, he was a general and didn't have much say.

As soon as the army arrived at the junction of Shangdang and Taiyuan, it was stopped by the army of Bingzhou, led by Ding Yuan himself.

The two armies spread out their positions, and Ding Yuan came out and said to the front, "Zhang Lan, why do you repeatedly violate our border?"

"Hmph, the thieves of the chaotic country are punishable by everyone, not to mention that Bingzhou is my land of the Han Dynasty. I am the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. How can I violate your border?"

"You want to kill that guy Zhang Lan." Ding Yuan couldn't help but be angry. Naturally, he can't compare with Zhang Lan, a "successful person" who is deeply influenced by the university.

As soon as Ding Yuan finished speaking, a general rushed out and shouted, "I'm going to chop Zhang Lan's head and present it to your lord."

It was Xiang Feng who had gone and returned to the battle, not because of his speed, but because Hou Cheng and the others knew that Zhang Lan's tent was full of fierce generals, and they were a little frightened. Go ahead.

Without Zhang Lan's words, Ma Chao rushed out to meet him.

"Xiliang Ma Chao once again, come to the general name"

"The one who killed you is your grandfather Xiang Feng." As Xiang Feng's voice fell, the big knife in his hand had already slashed towards Ma Chao. Xiang Feng did not use the halberd like his ancestor Xiang Yu, but chose the big knife. But he also mastered the essence of the knife, and with one force falling ten times, a huge force fell on Ma Chao's spear with the fall of the big knife.

"Good strength!" Ma Chao let out a low voice, and fought with Xiang Feng.

There is an unwritten rule in the Three Kingdoms, that is to fight first, and Zhang Lan is naturally happy to abide by this rule. Although he knew that Ding Yuan had a tiger general who repelled Cao Cao, he had never seen it before, and it was Ma Chao who played. So he didn't have the slightest worry, but it didn't take long for his opinion to slowly change.

Ma Chao's marksmanship is superb, but Xiang Feng's broadsword is not inferior to Ma Chao's in the slightest, and even faintly surpasses Ma Chao's martial arts.

The good thing is that these two can be regarded as young generals, they don't have much fame, and they won't lose face even if they send someone to help them. Seeing the two people with such similar martial arts fighting, Zhang Lan couldn't help but worry that Ma Chao made a mistake. , softly said to Dian Wei, "Come on, go and help Meng Qi"

Hearing Zhang Lan's words, although Dian Wei was a little reluctant, he still raised his halberds and shouted at Ma Chao, "General Ma, I will help you!"

Dian Wei's cry startled Ma Chao, but he who had been concentrating on it was startled by the sound, and happened to be caught by Xiang Feng and slashed at him with a knife. Ma Chao hurriedly swung his gun to block it, but he was still a step too slow, the blade was sharp. He cut into Ma Chao's shoulder along the barrel of the gun, and the bright red blood overflowed little by little.

Xiang Feng wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Ma Chao, but Dian Wei was riding a red rabbit. He was so fast that he was in front of the two of them in an instant, and Ma Chao and Xiang Feng fought together.

Ma Chao hurried back to the formation, and said to Zhang Lan in shame, "I'm ashamed of my lord, I lost to that fellow."

Zhang Lan was still in the shock of Ma Chao's injury. Seeing the blood on Ma Chao's shoulder, Zhang Lan felt a pain in her heart, and no longer estimated the shock in her heart, she persuaded Ma Chao a few words and ordered Ma Chao to be bandaged.

Since Ma Chao, who was named General of the Five Tigers, is no match for Xiang Feng in front of him, the visual impact this time is undoubtedly huge to Zhang Lan. Others don't know Ma Chao's ability, but he knows it all too well. If Ma Chao could be hurt, wouldn't that mean that he was a bit stronger than Lu Bu?But he didn't know that the reason why Ma Chao was injured was because Dian Wei's voice frightened him, otherwise he could have played 300 rounds with Xiang Feng and it would have been a draw.

Ma Chao was already injured, so Zhang Lan was no longer calm. He slapped the horse and rushed forward, wanting to kill Xiang Feng 2v1 with Dian Wei. Ding Yuan was not happy seeing this, so he sent someone first I couldn't fight and ran away, so I changed to another person to continue. It's not a big deal, you came up again, bullying me and there is no one in the state?

Feeling aggrieved, he naturally yelled loudly, "Zhang Lan, how dare you do this?"

Following Ding Yuan's cry, the sound of beating drums sounded immediately, and then there was a deafening cry of killing in the Bingzhou army.

"kill!"

Naturally, Zhang Lan's army was not to be outdone, and it also broke out that it was not weaker than the Bingzhou army, and it suddenly changed from a battle of generals to a fight of the whole army.
