Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

"I want to ask, what is this place?"

"My lord, this place was originally the Protectorate of the Western Regions, but now it is divided among the countries of the Western Regions. My place is under the jurisdiction of the Pulei Kingdom."

cattail?

Chen Gong hurriedly took out the map and looked at it.

"Fengxian, we have already passed Dunhuang County."

Lu Bu stared at the man and asked, "How far is Dunhuang County from here?"

"About eighty miles!"

Lu Bu asked, "What's your name?"

"Zhang Pu!"

Chen Gong asked: "Zhang Pu, you are from the Central Plains, did you come here to avoid disaster?"

Chen Gong felt that this man's speech was very proficient, so he probably came from the Central Plains, or he often traveled to and from the Central Plains.

"My ancestor, Bowanghou Zhang Sai, was from the Central Plains. When the Lord was on a mission to the Western Regions, my great-great-great-grandmother was unable to follow Bowanghou back to the Central Plains due to physical reasons, so she stayed here."

Chen Gong asked in surprise, "Your great-great-great-grandfather is Zhang Sai?"

"Yes, we still have a token of Marquis Bowang, how about I show it to you?"

Only ghosts want to see it. It’s okay, what am I doing watching this.

Zhang Sai has been dead for hundreds of years, and it is meaningless for him to study this.

Chen Gong asked: "We want to go to Liangzhou, can you show us the way?"

Zhang Pu said, "But I still want to farm."

Lu Bu said angrily, "I will give you the food and grass your family needs for 100 years!"

Zhang Pu shrank his head and hurriedly agreed to Lu Bu's request.

Chen Gong asked: "How many people are there in this Pulei country?"

"About 3 people."

"My grass!"

Lu Bu, Xiahou Dun, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zhang Yang and others were stunned.

Can 3 people build a country?

This really refreshed their cognition.

Chen Gong thought about it carefully. If they divide their forces, subdue all the countries in the Western Regions, and then restart the Protectorate of the Western Regions, this will also prepare for His Majesty's future expeditions to the west.

"General Yuan Rang, you lead the [-] Xuanjia troops to stay here, subdue all the countries in the Western Regions, and then form the Protectorate of the Western Regions."

"The last general takes orders!"

Chen Gong looked at Zhang Pu and asked, "How many of your people can speak Chinese well?"

"I have a younger sister too!"

"Then how about letting him be our guide?"

Zhang Pu asked, "Are you the army of the great Han?"

Chen Gongdao: "The Great Han has already been destroyed by Dong Zhuo, we are the army of the Wei State, and now more than half of the territory of the Great Han is in the hands of our State Wei."

"Oh!"

Zhang Pu didn't show much surprise either. After all, he now lives in the Western Regions and occasionally goes to Dunhuang. He hasn't been to other big Han territories, and he doesn't have much affection for the big Han.

Lu Bu's army took advantage of the night to arrive at Yumen Pass in the west of Dunhuang County.

Chen Gong ordered: "Zhang Liao, Zhang Yang, you two lead [-] Xuanjia troops to attack Yangguan in the south. After occupying Yangguan, quickly capture Longle City."

"promise!"

Ma Teng only stayed here with more than 2000 people. The two armies captured Yumen Pass and Yang Pass effortlessly. When they came to Longle City, Zhang Liao said: "Why don't we just persuade them to surrender, because there are too few soldiers left here. Yes, the siege is a waste of time."

Gao Shun nodded, and then sent a hundred soldiers trapped in the camp, ran to the gate of the city and hacked arbitrarily, broke through the gate, and then shouted to the city: "Whoever lays down his weapons will not die."

The soldiers in the city were stunned. If you want to persuade them to surrender, you should persuade them earlier. If the gate is destroyed, who will repair it?

Chapter 538 The back road was cut off, Ma Teng surrendered

The more than 1000 soldiers in Longle City surrendered without any resistance at all.

There are more than 1 people in the family. There is no need to siege the city wall to attack the city. The gate is directly cut open.

Zhang Liao looked at a lieutenant beside him and said, "Liu Dan, you lead a thousand Xuanjia troops to garrison here, and let these soldiers reinforce the city gate."

"promise!"

It took Lv Bu's army half a month to capture the two counties of Dunhuang and Jiuquan.

Lu Bu personally led an army of [-] troops and stationed in Biaoshi City on the west bank of Ruoshui.

At the same time, troops were sent to guard the pass, and the people of Jiuquan and Dunhuang counties were strictly prohibited from entering Zhangye County.

However, the news of Lu Bu's arrival in Liangzhou spread to Wuwei City.

"Your Majesty, the two counties of Jiuquan and Dunhuang have been captured by Lu Bu's army. At present, Lu Bu's general Zhang Liao is leading an army to attack Zhangye's vassal state."

Ma Teng was terrified, how could Lu Bu run behind them.

Could it be that he came from Bingzhou?

This is too far around.

Ma Teng quickly summoned his subordinates and generals to discuss countermeasures.

Although the blizzard in Wuwei, Jincheng, and Zhangye counties has stopped, the roads are impassable. I am afraid this is the reason why Lu Bu did not attack Zhangye County.

If there hadn't been this snow, I'm afraid Lu Bu would have been in the dark when he hit Wuwei City.

Fa Yan said: "Your Majesty, Lv Bu's army detoured to attack the back of Liangzhou. They will definitely not be able to transport food and grass. They are aiming at a quick battle, and Liangzhou is closed by snowstorms. generation."

Ma Teng looked depressed, who should be sent?

Only the three Ma brothers, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Ma Xiu, were able to fight well under him, and the rest were too useless.

Lu Bu's bravery, even if Ma Chao was here, he couldn't resist it.

"But none of us can resist Lu Bu."

Fa Yan said: "We don't need to resist Lu Bu, we only need to block the main road leading to Zhangye County. Lv Bu's army lacks food and grass, and it will not take long for the army to lose morale, and the entire army may even be wiped out."

Most of the counties of Dunhuang and Jiuquan are not suitable for planting plants. As long as there is a problem with their food and grass, they will surely die.

However, what Fa Yan didn't expect was that Lu Bu left an army of [-] to attack the countries in the Western Regions, and the food he got from Xiahou Dun would last until the beginning of spring.

Ma Teng looked at Ma Kang and said, "Kang'er, you led an army of [-] and blocked all the main roads in Zhangye County. You must not let Lu Bu come in with one soldier."

"promise!"

In Hanzhong City, Cao Shuo had nothing to do, so Mo Zhicai called over and asked, "Is there any news about Lu Bu's army?"

"no!"

Cao Shuo was very depressed, where did this guy go?

Seeing that the heavy snow is about to melt, Ma Teng is about to start attacking. If Lu Bu is not in position, when will this battle be fought.

Xi Zhicai suggested: "Why don't we mobilize another army from Bingzhou to look for it?"

"Forget it, don't wait for Lu Bu, prepare to let the soldiers cross the river!"

Cao Shuo asked Huang Zhong, Yan Xing, Xu Chu, Dian Wei and other generals to lead [-] Xuanjia troops each to take a ferry and forcefully cross the Yellow River directly at night.

With the defensive strength of the Xuanjia Army, they forcibly tore through four openings and broke through the blockade along the Yellow River.

Ma Chao, who was stationed in Jincheng, panicked when he heard that the defense of the Yellow River had been breached.

Unexpectedly, before the heavy snow melted, Cao Shuo began to attack.

However, the Xuanjia army who forcibly crossed the Yellow River lost nearly half of its troops. Ma Chao dug many traps on the bank of the Yellow River, making it difficult for Cao Shuo's cavalry to move forward.

It took Cao Shuo more than half a month to clear all the traps on the west bank of the Yellow River.

Hundreds of thousands of troops broke through the natural barrier of the Yellow River, which made Ma Teng panic.

"Report!"

"Cao Shuo's army has passed Gulang City, less than two hundred miles away from Guzang."

"Report, Cao Shuo's army has occupied Lingju County and cut off our connection with the Major General."

"Report, Cao Shuo's [-] troops besieged Jincheng, and the Major General and Mr. Fazheng were besieged in Jincheng."

A series of battle reports gave Ma Teng a headache.

He is now powerless to resist Cao Shuo.

Compared with Cao Shuo's hundreds of thousands of troops, his tens of thousands of troops are like ants.

It was even more difficult for Ma Chao to break out of the encirclement. No one around him could resist Huang Zhong and Yan Xing.

Once the opponent's siege equipment is in place, Huang Zhong's army will probably arrive at Guzang City within a day.

"Military Master, what should we do?" Ma Teng looked at Fa Yan begging for help.

Fa Yan smiled wryly, unable to return to heaven.

They are not superior in any way.

"Your Majesty, why don't we surrender, so as not to sacrifice more soldiers and leave their families helpless."

Ma Teng sighed, is he really going to surrender?

Ma Teng thought about it all night, but he still didn't decide whether to surrender or not.

He still has a way out, and that is to enter the Qiang land, then go to the Western Regions, occupy the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and continue to deal with Cao Shuo.

The next morning, before Ma Teng got up, he was woken up by the guards.

"Report!"

"Lu Bu's army suddenly appeared at the gate of Guzang City!"

"what? "

Ma Teng sat up abruptly, feeling sleepless in an instant.

Lu Bu actually hit the city.

How he passed the pass in Zhangye County.

Could it be that Ma Kang has been defeated by him, but why didn't the broken soldiers escape back.

A series of questions emerged in Ma Teng's mind.

He dragged his tired body to the top of the city wall, and when he saw the heroic Lu Bu outside the city, all his illusions were shattered.

Lu Bu's army was no less than 2.

And all of them are Xuanjia Army.

"Kasong surrenders!"

Ma Teng didn't want to resist any more, every quarter of an hour of resistance would put his soldiers' lives in danger.

"Hahaha, brother Shoucheng understands righteousness deeply, and I will definitely speak a few words of kindness for you in front of His Majesty."

Ma Teng said with a depressed face, "Thank you, General Lu."

The news that Ma Teng led his subordinates to surrender soon spread to Cao Shuo's camp.

When he received the news that Lv Bu had suddenly appeared in Guzang, he was overjoyed. At least there was no problem.

Otherwise, how would he explain to Wen'er.

He died at a young age, who will take care of his son in the future.

"Xu Chu, go to Jincheng to persuade him to surrender, and say that Ma Teng has surrendered, and tell the soldiers in the city to give up resistance, otherwise they will be shot."

Xu Chu was ordered to come to Jincheng, and shouted to Ma Chao on the city wall: "Ma'er, your father has already surrendered, open the city quickly, otherwise, there will be no soldiers left in the city."
