Zhang Xiu, the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

After the news that the rebels in Liangzhou killed each other and Ma Teng and Han Sui attacked and killed the kingdom was transmitted back to Xiangping, Dong Zhuo rejoiced.

In Xiangping City, in the temporary Dong Zhuo Mansion.

Dong Zhuo once again held the generals and thought tank Li Ru.

Dong Zhuo, who was dressed in black, smiled with a fat face trembling, and a pair of huge eyes were also much smaller.

"Hahaha. Although Huangfu Song has made great achievements in the expedition, where can he compare with me? I did not stretch my bow or arrows, nor did I use a single soldier. He let the rebel leader kingdom die in the city of Liliu. How great is the credit?"

"I have already sent someone to Luoyang to repay the merits, and the promotion and fortune are just around the corner.

Dong Zhuo said to the generals with a smile.

"Congratulations, congratulations. When

the generals heard this, they congratulated one after another. provoked Dong Zhuofa's excitement and excitement.

After laughing for a while, Dong Zhuo did not forget the serious thing. He turned his head to ask Li Ru, who was also smiling, and said, "Li Ru." Now that the power of the traitors in Liangzhou has weakened, what should we do?"

As long as all the Liangzhou rebels are swept away. Lord, it is not a problem for you to be a Liangzhou pastor. Li Ru said with a smile.

Li Ru has always been cautious, but he is also so flamboyant. The opening is Liangzhou Mu. Dong Zhuo was even more excited, a pair of rough hands on his knees, leaned over and hurriedly asked Li Ru, "How to break them one by one?"

Li Ru was about to speak, when an officer walked in from outside the door, holding a rolled up white cloth, came to Dong Zhuo, bent down and saluted: "Lord." There is a hidden message.

Dong Zhuo's face showed a solemn look on his face when he heard this, and he turned his head to look at Li Ru. Li Ru immediately stood up and took the white cloth, and then handed it to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo untied the red rope wrapped around the white cloth and opened it to take a look. took the case and laughed: "God help me." Suddenly

, the generals in the hall were full of curiosity, what was the matter that made Dong Zhuo say, "God help me?" Dong Zhuo

did not hide it, and put the white cloth on the table in front of him. Then he raised his head and his fat face bloomed red, and said, "Because the kingdom was killed." Ma Teng and Han Sui are in Jicheng. The city is empty. Li Cheng, the general under Han Sui, was afraid that the rebels in Liangzhou would perish. So I took the initiative to send a letter. As soon as I sent a large army over, he took the initiative to open the city gate and help us enter the city. When

the generals heard this, their faces changed, and then they rejoiced.

Shangtai City is currently Han Sui's lair, the city is tall and strong, and there are many Han Sui's grain, grass and baggage equipment in the city, and there are a few elite soldiers stationed in the city.

If the city of Shangtai is breached, the benefits will be great. Maybe he can really kill hundreds of thousands of Liangzhou rebels in one fell swoop, and help Dong Zhuo become the pastor of Liangzhou.

At that time, they will all be promoted and made rich together.

"My lord. Please also let me be the vanguard and send troops to attack Shangtai City. General Li Wei stood up and bowed down to ask for his life.

"Hey. Brother Li. Why bother Brother Li with such trivial matters? I, Guo Yan, am willing to be a pioneer. Guo Yan also stood up, and after glancing at Li Dao, he asked for his life.

"You. Do you want to compete with me?" Li Wei glared at Guo Yan angrily and clenched his fists.

"Looking at what Brother Li said, I'm just worrying about Brother Li. Guo Yan didn't care and said with a smile.

Dong Zhuo's generals Li Dao and Guo Yan have always been at odds, Li Dao is brave and good at fighting, and his personality is cruel and easy to kill. And Guo Yan is cold and scheming.

Because the two competed, there were a lot of troubles.

But Dong Zhuo turned a blind eye to this. He is also suspicious by nature, and he wishes that his subordinates are not compatible. If all his generals were united, he was worried about whether the generals would unite against him.

Seeing Li Dao and Guo Yan competing with each other, Dong Zhuo and the rest of the generals present were all watching coldly.

"Alright. All right. Sit down first. This matter is a big matter, so let's ask Li Ru's opinion first. After a while, Dong Zhuo came out to play the round and turned his head to look at Li Ru.

Li Dao and Guo Yan sat down together and pricked up their ears with the generals.

This is the first credit, whoever goes first wins.

"It's doable. But there are also some strange things. Li Ru pinched his beard in front of the generals and muttered for a moment before he said to Dong Zhuo: "Lord." General Zhang Ji can be sent as the vanguard and go first. The two generals, Li Dao and Guo Yan, responded and withdrew together with General Zhang Ji if the situation was not right. The lord himself personally commanded the army as a backup. I can let the two generals, Xu Rong and Niu Fu, stay in Xiangping City with me. "

Li Ru is in Dong Zhuojun, and he doesn't offend people very much. He saw that Guo Yan and Li Ji couldn't fight, so he took the third party Zhang Ji first.

Although it didn't help anyone, it didn't offend anyone either.

Li Dao and Guo Yan both had a painful face, but they didn't dare to resent Li Ru. Although this guy is kind, he is very vicious, and it is not comfortable to offend Li Ru.

"Good. That's it. Dong Zhuo nodded happily, then looked up at Zhang Ji, and ordered loudly: "General Zhang." You lead 5,000 men from your headquarters first, and we will answer you. "

No. Zhang Ji is not very showy on weekdays, and he is not in the mood to compete for any pioneers, but when he saw pies falling from the sky, he was also happy, and stood up and promised loudly. So he went down first, and went out of the city to gather the soldiers and horses of his own camp.

Soon after. Zhang Jijun erected a banner with the word "Zhang", and went to the north to go to the city with 5,000 elite horses and horses.

Li Dao and Guo Yan responded, and Dong Zhuo personally commanded the army as backup.

Two days later. Zhang Ji led 5,000 elite soldiers to the outside of Shangtai City, because there were people in the city to answer, Zhang Ji did not set up camp.

The first Le Ma is under the banner of the word "Zhang", looking at Shangtai City.

"Sure enough, it's Xiongcheng, if there is no internal response. It's hard to take. Zhang Ji wore armor and immediately shot a gun. After watching for a while, his eyes focused on the "Li" banner on the city.

"But no city can withstand internal destruction.

At this moment, the heavy black gate in front of him was quickly opened. Two groups of men came from the city and lined up.

Although Zhang Ji is peaceful, he is also a strong general.

"Into the city. He shook the big gun in his hand, and with more than 1,000 elites under his command as the front, he rode his horse and marched to the city. When he came to the city gate, he saw a military commander standing on horseback.

The flag of the word "Li" flew around him.

"But Li Cheng, General Li?" Zhang Ji maintained his basic vigilance, holding a big gun and shaking his salute.

"Exactly. Li Cheng also returned the salute with his fists, and then urged: "General Zhang." There were still 20,000 soldiers in the city. Now we can break it by surprise.

"I marched north to attack the defenders north of the city. "

General Zhang marched eastward to attack the defenders in the east of the city. Each has its own great credit. With

that, Li Cheng reined in his horse and headed north to lead the army to the north of the city.

"Good. Zhang Ji must have been careless when he heard this. Originally, when the general entered the city, he had to take over the city defense first, so that he could attack and retreat.

However, Zhang Ji did not wait to take over the city defense first, so he led 3,000 elite soldiers to the east of the city first. And let the rear team of 2,000 elite soldiers take over the city defense.

Just when Zhang Ji's team had just entered the city, there was a lot of noise on the quiet city wall.

"Kill !!" Then many soldiers came out, and they all opened their bows and arrows and shot towards Zhang Jijun. At the same time, there are ambushes on the left and right.

And Li Cheng turned back from the north and led the army to counterattack Zhang Ji.

For a while, Zhang Jijun was stunned.

"Whoosh" pieces of arrows fell, and one by one Zhang Ji's soldiers were shot, and they lost their lives in vain and fell in a pool of blood.

"Killing !!" Liangzhou soldiers who killed from the front and back left were like rainbows. Wielding his blade, he straightened his spear and stabbed it out with a roar.

Rows of Zhang Ji's sergeants were stabbed with spears and fell in pools of blood.

"Damn. We've been tricked. However, Zhang Ji is also a veteran of the battlefield in the end, and he quickly reacted. After scolding, he was quite calm.

"Quick, the soldiers and horses in the rear will seize the city gate. We withdraw. Fierce battles ahead. Zhang Ji didn't rush to pull back and fight out of the city. Because now the rear is also his soldiers, and he will not be able to get out of the city all of a sudden, but will cause chaos.

He stabilized his position, controlled the city gate first, and as long as the city gate was still there, he could advance and retreat calmly.

After all, he still has reinforcements from Li Dao and Guo Yan in the rear.

Under the command of Zhang Ji, the five thousand elite soldiers under his command can be regarded as holding a steady foothold. And the 2,000 elite soldiers who were still outside the field dispersed, stretched out their bows and shot at the defenders in the city.

If there were rescuers, Zhang Ji would still be able to escape.

But ...........

Li Dao and Guo Yan each led 5,000 people, and they were still about three miles away from Shangtai City. At this distance, if you trot for a while, you will soon be able to kill the upper and lower cities.

No matter how chaotic the situation is, Zhang Ji is under the protection of Li Dao and Guo Yan.

However, Li Dao and Guo Yan did not agree, and the elite soldiers of the two sides were some distance away from each other and did not go together.

Under the banner of the word "Li", Li Dao looked forward. I saw a horse coming from the dust, this person's face was very familiar to him, it was Zhang Ji's messenger.

"Report to General Li. That Li Cheng surrendered by fraud, and my general encountered an ambush. He also asked General Li to send troops to the rescue as soon as possible. The

messenger soon rode in front of Li Dao, panting and reporting.

"Good. I'm going to send troops to help. Li Dao agreed.

"Thank you, General Lee. When the messenger heard this, he believed it and immediately reined in his horse and went back. But after that, Li Dao not only did not enter the army, but instead ordered the army to stop, as if it were not moving.

He also looked up at Guo Yan's army next to him, and the other party also stopped.

"General. Why did you stop? General Zhang Ji is in danger. One of the Sima under Li Dao's command, Ce immediately stepped forward and asked puzzled.

Li Dao sneered when he heard this: "Since this Li Cheng is a fraudulent surrender. Then Han Sui and Ma Teng must have been prepared. There must be an ambush of elite soldiers around here. If we go up to save Zhang Ji, we will inevitably lose our troops. You see that Guo Yan next to him didn't move, he must have thought the same way.

"Ah!!" The Sima was a little dumbfounded, which meant to sit and watch the friendly forces perish?

Li Dao's horse scouting came to report, and the characters "horse" and "Han" appeared in the north and left and right, respectively, and a large army came to kill.

After Li Dao and Guo Yan learned the news, not only did they not move forward, but instead led their troops to retreat slowly, joining Dong Zhuo's army further behind, so as to avoid being attacked and killed by Ma Teng and Han Sui.

They simply sold Zhang Ji.
