super apocalypse

Chapter 221
At noon the next day, Huang Zhong led Wenpin, Leng Bao and other generals to Chang'an with an army of [-]. Zhang He and Gao Lan went out of the city to greet them in person. As soon as they entered the city, everyone smelled a strong smell of blood. Obviously, a fierce fighting broke out in the city recently, but, what is strange is, why is the smell of blood concentrated in the city?

"Two generals, were you plotted against by Cao Jun last night?" Guo Jia said calmly, "It must be that Cao Jun retreated first, leaving an empty city behind, but then secretly ambushed and burned the city at night for a sneak attack. I don't know what happened to the casualties?"

Huang Zhong and the others were startled when they heard the words, but they saw that Zhang Yun and Gao Lan were full of shock. Faced with Guo Jia's question, after a while, Gao Lan said with a bit of shame: "I Last night, it was true that Cao Cao's traitors plotted against them, and they burned the city and made a sneak attack, and a bloody battle resulted in the damage of 6000 troops!"

"6000 troops?" Guo Jia was startled for a moment, then came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Ordinary people encounter such a battle situation, I am afraid that the entire army may be wiped out. The two generals only lost 6000 troops. Look. I came here with some arrangements in advance, but I wonder how the damage on Cao's army was?"

Zhang Ying responded, "Mr. Huijun, in the battle of burning the city last night, we fought bloody battles and killed more than [-] soldiers of the Cao army. It's just that the general Xiahou Dun of the Cao army is really brave and extraordinary, and we have already done enough in advance." Prepared, so let him lead the army to escape."

"Xiahoudun?" Huang Zhong muttered in his mouth, repeated the words, and suddenly asked, "I don't know how brave this man is?"

For Huang Zhong, a veteran who can fight Lu Bu for two or three hundred rounds without losing the slightest bit, Gao Lan and the others are naturally convinced. Hearing Huang Zhong's question, Gao Lan immediately responded: "Don't fight him! After more than a hundred rounds, I was lucky enough to beat him, and the next time we fight again, the outcome will be five or five!"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Huang Zhong couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "I have heard that Cao Cao's generals, Xiahou brothers are the most powerful, and Xiahou Dun is like this. Come to think of it, then Xiahouyuan should not be an ordinary person. Gao Lan Zhang He and you guys That's all, Wenpin, Lengbao, if you meet, you have to be careful."

"No!" Regarding the martial arts of Zhang He and Gao Lan, Wenpin and Leng Bao are quite familiar with it. Among the two, even Wenpin, who is more skilled in martial arts, may not be their opponent. Leng Bao is older. He is still light, his combat power has not yet reached its peak, and the difference is even worse. Those who can almost draw with these two people should not be underestimated.

Guo Jia laughed and said: "When Dong Zhuo was in chaos, Cao Cao was able to summon the eighteen princes to attack Dong Zhuo even when the assassination failed. This shows that he is indeed extraordinary from ordinary princes. After the battle against Dong, he went to Bingzhou and soon became He conquered Zhang Yang, raised an army of more than [-], defeated Xu Rong, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, Niu Fu and others, captured Chang'an, and then abandoned Chang'an, setting up a strategy of burning the city and sneaking attacks, plotting against my peace. The depth of the army's strategy is truly rare in the world. Instead of being a famous official who governs the world, he has become a hero in troubled times."

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, but they heard Huang Zhong say: "Cao Cao has such a strategy, it seems that in future wars with him, we must trouble Mr. Military Advisor to do our best."

Guo Jia smiled and said: "As a counselor, it is Jia's honor to be able to fully demonstrate his talents and appreciate what the heroes of the world can do. Therefore, general, please rest assured, Jia will definitely do his best!"

Huang Zhong laughed loudly and said, "If you have a gentleman who will help you with all your strength, why should Cao Cao be afraid?!"

The crowd led the army and slowly entered the city of Chang'an. The fire last night, although the fire was not small, but the Taiping army rescued it in time, so the damage was not serious.

Unlike Luoyang, which was almost destroyed by Dong Zhuo, although Chang'an had gone through wars several times, and the forces of all parties changed their positions, but because of the rush of time, there was no time to cause too much damage in the future, and the imperial city still maintained its former glory.

There is a tacit understanding. Although Huang Zhong sent people to station in the imperial city, he and others did not move in. After all, they are all people in the ancient feudal society. No matter how capable they are, they always maintain a certain degree of imperial power. awe.

That night, Huang Zhong rewarded the three armies, but Guo Jia gave advice at the banquet, saying: "Cao Cao left without fighting. This is not his style. He must have a backup plan. Jia has thought about it a lot. I feel that our first priority is not to If we are in a hurry to march into Bingzhou and pursue Cao Cao, we should be careful about Liangzhou. Han Sui and Ma Teng are not people who can be underestimated easily. If Cao Cao persuades them, then we are likely to face Xiliang soon. Iron riding."

"Xiliang iron cavalry?!" Hearing this, Huang Zhong and the others couldn't help but look shocked, especially Zhang He and Gao Lan, who were born in Jizhou, had a deep understanding of the power of cavalry, and they couldn't help but worry. speak out.

"Liangzhou cavalry has been fighting against foreigners all the year round, so they are definitely the strongest soldiers in the world!" Zhang He said in a deep voice, "Although our army has a battle formation against cavalry, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, so we have to prepare early."

"That's true." Gao Lan also said: "After all, although the battle formation is strong, but in comparison, the cavalry moves briskly, and our army will inevitably be at a disadvantage."

"Huh?" Huang Zhong couldn't help but groaned when he heard the words. After thinking for a while, he frowned and said: "Liangzhou borders foreign territories, and the cavalry is strong and there are a lot of them. Due to geographical restrictions, although our army has 10 horses, But the number of cavalry is only [-], so it would be a bit of a disadvantage if we were to face Xiliang iron cavalry."

"You don't need to panic." At this moment, Guo Jia said calmly, "While the iron cavalry of Xiliang is the best cavalry in the world, it is not invincible. It is not difficult to break the front of the army."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Guo Jia again, but they saw him raise his head and drink a good wine, and then smiled with a little alcohol: "The two armies are fighting, and the heart is the most important thing. Although Liang cavalry is strong, there is no harmony between Han Sui and Ma Teng, Jia thinks that only one person needs to be sent to Liangzhou, and it will be easy for Han Sui and Ma Teng to defeat Xi Liang cavalry."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Huang Zhong quickly asked, "This matter is very important. I don't know who the gentleman thinks, who should be sent to Liangzhou?"

"Chen Deng." Guo Jia said with a smile: "Before Jia entered Chang'an, he had already sent someone to send an order to him. I believe that at this time, Chen Deng should already be on his way to Liangzhou. Maybe he has already arrived. uncertain!"

Indeed, at this moment, Chen Deng was already on his way to Liangzhou. When Guo Jia sent a secret letter, he set off immediately. However, he was in a hurry, but he still couldn't reach Chang'an before the Taiping Army entered. Liangzhou, but fortunately, it didn't take long. The next night, he finally arrived at Jincheng in Liangzhou.

After sending the greetings, Han Sui soon summoned Chen Deng. Although he had formed an alliance with Cao Jun, the Taiping Army had already swept the world and had more than a million troops. How could it be easily offended? Han Sui himself He also came from a rebellious background, so he knows that this kind of people are the worst to mess with.

"General Han, I've heard about you for a long time, so I just got to meet you today." Chen Deng said with a smile, "General Han should be able to guess why I'm here, so I don't think I need to say anything more, right?"

Han Sui couldn't deny it with a smile: "The Taiping Army is in full swing. In the battle of Jieqiao, the coalition forces of 30 princes were almost completely defeated. Although Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are lingering, they can't last long. From this point of view, this big man The dynasty is about to die, sir, he must have taken a fancy to the [-] Xiliang cavalry under Han's command, but please forgive me for not agreeing."

Chen Deng said with a smile: "I know that before I came, Cao Cao must have sent people to discuss an alliance with General Han and Ma Teng, and even General Han and Ma Teng had agreed to form an alliance."

Hearing this, Han Sui couldn't help but wondered: "Since you know, why are you still looking for me? Are you not afraid that I will kill you? After all, I have already concluded an alliance with Cao Cao."

"I'm afraid, why not." Chen Deng said coldly: "However, General Han is too self-righteous. The one who formed an alliance with Cao Cao is Ma Teng, and General Han is probably just a foil."

"You—" Han Sui couldn't help being startled and angry when he heard the words, "Mr. Chen, although you are a member of the Taiping Army, you are too sharp when you speak."

Chen Deng said calmly: "It's not that I'm too sharp, it's that General Han is too self-deceiving. Don't forget, you came from a rebellion, and Dong Zhuo was the one who recruited you back then. You really think that Cao Cao and Ma Teng's alliance is due to you." Well, it is natural to charge forward, but to share the results of the victory in the future, that is not necessarily the case..."
