Zhang Xiu, the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

At the forefront of the army was Zhang Liao, who had not returned to the state for many days, Chen Chu personally went to see him off, and Zhang Rui also came.

"Brother, come back after completing the task this time, but you have to take a good rest in Bingzhou!" As she spoke, Zhang Rui turned her gaze to Chen Chu, revealing a pleading look.

Chen Chu immediately surrendered, and hurriedly echoed: "Yes! The three of us brothers haven't been drinking together for a long time! When Wen Yuan comes back, we must get drunk and rest!"

Zhang Liao hugged his fists and saluted, and replied respectfully: "Yes." "。 Zhang Liao is not like Zhang Fei, he is very polite and humble in public.

After briefly admonishing Zhang Liao again, Zhang Liao stepped on the war horse and hugged his fist towards Chen Chu and said, "Big brother, I'm going!" Chen Chu

nodded.

Then Zhang Liao said to Zhang Rui again: "Sister, you can't be willful with your eldest brother!" Almost every time Zhang Liao saw Zhang Rui, he would tell him like this.

Zhang Rui pursed his lips, "Got it

!" Then Zhang Liao raised his voice to the army: "Let's go!"

The banner was unfurled, and the 50,000 troops lined up in a neat formation and marched along the official road into the distance.

Mi Zhu, who came to ask Chen Chu for help, also went south with the army.

After Zhang Liao left, Chen Chu led everyone back to the city. The next step is to do what to do.

Back at the Thorn Mansion, Lu Su came to see Chen Chu.

"My lord, now that the situation in the state is stable, Su wants to go back to his hometown!" Lu Su requested.

For such a request, how could Chen Chu not agree. So Chen Chu nodded and said, "Zijing has been away from his hometown for some years, and it is indeed time to go back and have a look! Alas! I was negligent, I should have brought Zijing's small

industry to the state a long time ago, so as not to cause Zijing to worry about the suffering!" Seeing Chen Chu's earnest words, Lu Su couldn't help but bow: "Lord

!" Chen Chu helped Lu Su up, and then said: "This time I will go back and bring the small industry to the state! I will send a hundred iron guards to think that I am a protector!" "

Thank you, lord!" Lu Su bowed again.

"By the way, Zijing, do you know Zhou Yu?" Chen Chu heard Lu Su say that he wanted to return to his hometown, so he suddenly remembered Zhou Yu.

Lu Su nodded: "Of course I know, and we are like brothers! The main purpose of my return this time is to invite Zhou Yu to serve the lord with Su!"

Zhang Liao led the army to Huguan three days later, and Zhang Fei, who was in charge of Huguan's defense, personally came to greet him. The two brothers, who had not seen each other for many days, came to a bear hug as soon as they met.

"Second brother, don't come to harm!" "

My old Zhang is very good!hahaha!"

At this time, Zhang Liao introduced Zhang Fei to a young scribe who came with him, "Second brother, this is Mr. Mi Zhu under Tao Envoy Jun's account." "

Mr. Mi Zhu!" Zhang Fei calmly hugged his fist towards Mi Zhu.

Seeing this, Mi Zhu hurriedly replied, "I've seen General Zhang."

Zhang Fei nodded, and then said, "Come with me to the big tent to rest for a while." Then

Zhang Fei and Zhang Liao stepped on the war horse and walked slowly into the city. Mi Zhu followed, followed by a group of personal soldiers, and the 50,000 army temporarily set up tents outside the pass to rest.

As soon as you arrive in the city, a busy construction scene comes into view. Countless migrant workers are building houses out of bricks and stones, and many others are repairing and strengthening the city wall in the distance.

Zhang Liao couldn't help asking: "Second brother, how is the city defense of Huguan repaired?" Zhang

Fei replied: "It will take several months to completely repair!" and then showed a look of indignation, "Cao Cao is really not a fucking thing! Before escaping, he actually destroyed Huguan from beginning to end!"

Zhang Liao laughed. Mi Zhu, who was following behind, couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

After a while, the group came to a clearing in the middle of the city, where there were no buildings, only a large tent, and this tent was Zhang Fei's handsome tent.

Then the three men entered the tent and spoke for a long time. I won't go into details.

Zhang Liao's army repaired at Huguan for one night, and early the next morning, 50,000 troops left Huguan and advanced to Yecheng in the southeast.

At the same time as Zhang Liao's army left, Zhang Fei made some adjustments to the army stationed in Huguan. Zhang Fei personally led 20,000 horses to leave Huguan and marched into Yecheng with Zhang Liao, while the deputy general Xue Jian led 30,000 soldiers to continue to garrison Huguan.

Zhang Fei did not act privately, before Zhang Liao came to Huguan, Chen Chu had already sent Zhang Fei the order to act through the flying pigeon.

Zhang Fei's 20,000 horses and Zhang Liao's 50,000 horses, the Northern Army used 70,000 troops this time, which is all the forces that Chen Chu can use at present.

Seeing the 70,000 troops rushing to Yecheng, Mi Zhu's mood was very excited, as if he saw the scene of Cao Jun's embarrassment fleeing, and saw the scene of Xuzhou soldiers and civilians cheering.

Two days later, the army arrived in Wei County, and the Yuan army guards of Wei County went out of the city to meet them, but he did not invite Zhang Liao Zhang to fly into the city. Although the two families are now allies, the other party still does not dare to take it lightly.

The army was not delayed in Wei County, and continued to march to Yecheng, a hundred miles away, on the same day.

Two days later, the army came to the city of Yecheng. At this moment, the four gates of Yecheng are closed, and they are slaughtered.

At this time, the Cao army of Yecheng was guarded by Cao Ren, and the deputy generals were Li Dian and Yu Ban, with a total strength of 30,000 defenders. After Cao Cao led the army to leave, the total remaining troops were only more than 60,000 people, but he placed half of his troops in the direction of Yecheng, which shows the depth of Cao Cao's precautions against Chen Chu.

Cao Ren stood on the tower of the city gate, looking at the banners under the city and the black armor like a cloud, his brows furrowed. Next to Cao Ren were two other generals, Li Dian and Yu Ban.

"The Northern Expeditionary Army is really menacing!" Cao Ren said in a low voice.

Li Dian and Yu Ban also frowned, their faces gloomy. "If the lord's army doesn't come back, we're afraid we won't last long!" Li Dian said worriedly.

The other two nodded, and then Yu Ban said: "The summons has been dispatched, but it depends on

the lord's own will whether the lord will return to the army!" Then Yu Ban hugged his fists at Cao Ren and said: "General Cao, our army can't just be trapped, we must go out of the city to meet the battle, so as to frustrate the spirit of the northern army!" As soon as Yu Ban's

voice fell, Li Dian agreed.

Cao Ren pondered for a moment, then resolutely ordered: "Order 2,000 light cavalry to assemble! Man Cheng and I will go out of the city to challenge! Wen Ze will guard the city gate

!" "Yes!"

At the same time, the 70,000 troops led by Zhang Liao and Zhang Fei were arrayed under the city, as if they were preparing to attack the city.

Zhang Liao and Zhang Fei were wearing heavy armor, straddled the divine horse, and held famous blades, standing at the front of the military formation. Majestic-looking.

At this time, the city gate suddenly opened, and thousands of horsemen rushed out with two generals.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao and Zhang Fei couldn't help but show excitement. Immediately led thousands of iron horsemen to meet him.

The men and horses of each side held back when they were fifty paces apart.

Then Zhang Feihong shouted: "Traitor! If you don't get off the horse, please

surrender!" Cao Ren snorted coldly and shouted-for-tat: "Why don't you surrender?"

Zhang Fei's eyes widened, and he pointed at Cao Ren with a spear and shouted: "Cao thief raises sword soldiers in vain, attacks his colleagues, and is like a rebellion, and our army is in the name of the Son of Heaven to crusade against the traitor!" Cao Ren

was so angry that his face turned pale, but he couldn't find the words to refute it.

At this time, Li Dian on the side reminded: "General, you don't need to talk to him more

!" Cao Ren nodded, and then snorted coldly: "Zhang Fei, you don't want to take advantage of your tongue, you have the ability to see the real chapter under your hands!" Zhang Fei laughed and said: "Cao Ren

Xiaoer, I will kill you like a chicken and a dog!" Zhang Fei's tone was very arrogant.

Cao Ren was so angry on the spot that he screamed and brandished a big knife and rushed towards Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei let out a long laugh and slapped his horse to catch up. In the blink of an eye, the two horsemen fought together.

Their mounts trampled in a circle, while the two wielded their blades and fought each other.

The soldiers watching the battle on both sides shouted together and cheered for their generals.

After the two exchanged dozens of moves, Cao Ren gradually showed his incomprehensible appearance. Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army roared even more enthusiastically.

After a few more moves, Cao Ren's defeat became more and more obvious, and cold sweat was already overflowing on Cao Ren's forehead.

Seeing this, Li Dian, who was watching the battle, immediately hit his horse and galloped up, wanting to help Cao Ren, who was ignoring the situation.

Zhang Liao saw it, where would he get his wish, and immediately urged the horse to meet Li Dian, and shouted at the same time: "Li Dian, I will meet you!"

Li Dian, who was about to kill Li Dian, saw Zhang Liao who was intercepting from the side, and had to turn his horse's head to meet Zhang Liao.

In the blink of an eye, the two horses staggered by, and a loud sound of gold and iron clashing suddenly sounded. The soldiers watching the battle on both sides couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat.

The two riders stopped after running more than ten steps each, and then turned back to each other. At this moment, Li Dian's right hand was trembling slightly, and his heart was shocked, he had never fought with Zhang Liao, he didn't expect Zhang Liao's martial arts to be so powerful, even compared to Zhang Fei.

couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhang Fei, who was fighting with Cao Ren, at this moment Zhang Fei had completely taken the initiative, and Cao Ren looked very embarrassed.

Li Dian's heart couldn't help but rise to retreat, the martial arts of the two generals on the other side were too strong, and it would only be humiliating to fight again!

At this time, Zhang Liao shouted loudly, raised his hook and sickle and rushed towards Li Dian again. Seeing this, Li Dian had to press his thoughts and fight with all his heart.

Zhang Liao brandished a big knife and slashed down, just like Mount Tai pressing the top.

Li Dian, who was at the midpoint of pressure, gritted his teeth and resisted strongly.

After more than 20 rounds, Li Dian could no longer resist it, and was driven straight in after Zhang Liaodang opened an empty door. Seeing that Zhang Liao's big knife was about to unload Li Dian's right shoulder, at this critical moment, Li Dian dropped his weapon in time, and at the same time flashed his upper body to the side.

In a flash of blood, Li Dian was injured, but because Li Dian dodged in time, he only suffered a minor injury to his right shoulder.

Li Dian had completely lost the will to fight, and after dodging Zhang Liao's fatal blow, he fled back in a panic. At this moment, Li Dian's face was a pale, palpitating.

At the same time, Cao Ren on the other side was also defeated and fled back.

The cavalry of the Cao army, who was pressing the formation in the back, immediately roared and rushed over, intending to pick up the second general to block Zhang Liao and Zhang Fei.

Seeing this scene, there was no need for Zhang Liao and Zhang Fei to give an order in person, and the cavalry of Zhengbei, who was pressing the formation for the second general, immediately roared to cover the past.

In the blink of an eye, the cavalry of both sides were mixed up and fought.

The demoralized cavalry of the Cao army was no match for the Northern Army at all, and it only took a moment to completely collapse.
