Zhang Xiu, the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Three days later, Xiangping City.

Because Li Dao and Guo Yan could not be saved when they saw death, Zhang Ji was trapped in Shangtai City and was killed by Li Cheng's corporal with random arrows. Most of Zhang Ji's corporal soldiers were killed in battle, a few surrendered, and there were one or two thousand remnants of the army, and they fled back to Dong Zhuo's army.

Zhang Ji's own body was obtained by Ma Teng and Han Sui. After the victory of the two, they led the Liangzhou rebels to advance step by step, and the troops came to the city.

On the other hand, Dong Zhuo, because of the loss of the general Zhang Ji, the morale of the army was frustrated. had to return to the army to defend in Xiangping City, because Xiangping City could not accommodate so many soldiers and horses, and there were still tens of thousands of troops camping in the city.

The soldiers and horses in the city and the soldiers and horses outside the city are each other's horns and support each other.

There was no problem with the military arrangement, but Dong Zhuojun's morale was extremely low.

Outside the city, Ma Teng, Han Sui and other Liangzhou rebels have as many as 120,000 people, and the generals of each department have their own camps, and the place stretches for more than ten miles, and the momentum is strong.

Ma Teng and Han Sui's mood is also very good.

On this day, it was the second day when Ma Teng and Han Sui led their troops to the outside of Xiangping City. The sun was shining, but the cold wind was howling, bringing up dust and sand in the sky.

Inside a large white tent. Ma Teng and Han Sui each wore their own armor and sat together on the northern throne. Below him were Hou Cheng, Cheng Yi and other rebel generals.

There was a charcoal fire burning in the camp, and a whole roast sheep was being grilled on the charcoal fire. On the golden roasted whole lamb, the fat drips down, and from time to time there is a popping sound.

Although the roasted whole sheep was very fragrant, no one in the audience was concerned about eating. As long as you defeat Dong Zhuo, and then wave your troops to attack Sanfu, what not?"

not only reduced Dong Zhuo's generals, but also marched to Xiangping City. The morale of our Liangzhou army has regained its strength.

Ma Teng's face glowed red, and after praising Han Sui first, he asked modestly, "Brother Xian." In the current situation, how to exterminate

Dong Zhuo?" Han Sui obviously had a plan, put his hands on his knees, and said with a smile: "Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses are fierce, and they are guarding the city and the camp. We are many, but we must not storm it. If you attack strongly, you will inevitably lose both. "

That day. Zhang Ji entered the city as the pioneer, and Li Dao and Guo Yan responded. However, Li Dao and Guo Yan saw death and did not save them, so Zhang Ji died in Shangtai City. In Dong Zhuo's army, the generals who lead the troops are bound to be afraid and demoralized. We might as well send Zhang Ji's body back to further demoralize them. If Dong Zhuo really can't bear the pressure, withdraw his troops and go back to Luoyang. We pursued in the rear, and we were bound to win a great victory. If Dong Zhuo does not withdraw his troops, we will confront him and wait for the opportunity.

"Brother Xian, this is a very good strategy. After hearing this, Ma Teng felt reasonable. Then, he ordered someone to collect Zhang Ji's body, and together with the armor, sent someone to return it to Dong Zhuo.

........

In the city of Xiangping. Although there are armored soldiers on the head of the city, they are like eggplants, and their morale is extremely low.

Dong Zhuo's temporary residence, in the hall.

Dong Zhuo, who was sitting on the main seat, had an iron blue face. Li Ru also lost his composure and frowned. The generals under his command all dared not take a breath.

In the center of the hall, Zhang Ji's corpse was displayed. There were no visible scars on his body, he was wearing armor outside, and he lay on the ground as if he was asleep, but he could never wake up.

A general was killed by his own people like this.

"Li Dao! Guo Yan!" Dong Zhuo suddenly roared, flipped over the desk in front of him, and the things on it fell to the ground.

He stood up and said angrily: "I asked the two of you to answer Zhang Ji, but you didn't save you when you died." Someone, dragged out and cut down. "

No. The

two pairs of armor soldiers brazenly agreed, rushed in from outside the door, and headed towards Li Dao and Guo Yan. Li Dao and Guo Yan were very flustered on their faces, but they were calm in their hearts.

Now that Zhang Ji has just been damaged, the morale of the army has been frustrated. Unless Dong Zhuo's brain is convulsive, he will cut his two generals in a row, and someone must have stood up to intercede.

Really.

Li Ru stood up and said to Dong Zhuo: "My lord." Now Ma Teng and Han Sui have come to the city. If the two generals Li Dao and Guo Yan are killed, I am afraid that the army will collapse immediately. It's better to write down this mistake and let the two generals make meritorious contributions. "

Dong Zhuo was very angry, very angry. But he really didn't have the intention of killing Li Dao and Guo Yan. Then he took advantage of the situation to get off the tree, and after glaring angrily at Li Dao and Guo Yan, he scolded: "If it weren't for Li Ru's intercession, I would have beheaded you." But this knife is only for the time being, if you can't make meritorious deeds. I beheaded you afterwards. "

Thank you, Mr. Lee, thank you, my lord.

Li Dao and Guo Yan were "like being amnestied" and hurriedly thanked them.

After Dong Zhuo lost his temper, he calmed down a lot. He looked up at Zhang Ji's body on the ground, sighed and said, "Collect General Zhang's body and park it for the time being, and then bring it back to Huaili City for burial." "

No. The

two teams rushed in to take Li Ji and Guo Yan's armor soldiers, and they promised, carefully lifted Zhang Ji's body, turned around and walked out.

"What should we do now?" After Zhang Ji's body was sent away, Dong Zhuo suddenly felt deflated again and sighed.

Huangfu Song said that he would retire from the army, but he insisted on staying. The day before yesterday, he used Li Ru's strategy to kill the kingdom, which was indeed a great achievement. Now Zhang Ji has been damaged, demoralized, and trapped in Xiangping City.

Outside the city, there were hundreds of thousands of troops of Ma Teng and Han Sui eyeing him, and the situation took a turn for the worse, which really hit him so badly, it was like a bolt from the blue.

After sighing, Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru with blank eyes. The generals can't solve his worries, and what to do depends on this wise man.

Li Ru pinched his beard and thought for a long time before he said, "Lord." At present, our food and grass are quite sufficient, and we can defend and avoid the war.

"At this point, we're going to do two things. One took out all the gold and silver and gave them to the soldiers. Restore the morale of the army. Second, the remnants of General Zhang Ji's army of one or two thousand elite soldiers need to be soothed. Either a general may be reappointed to lead the troops, or this army may be given to the rest of the generals. Although

Dong Zhuo was very unhappy about guarding and avoiding the war. But he has led troops for many years, and he also knows that what Li Ru said is reasonable.

At this time, fighting with Ma Teng and Han Sui was simply a long life.

"Good. and give you an army of gold and silver and treasures, and I will leave it to you. As for the remnants of Zhang Ji. Dong Zhuo said this, raised his head and looked at the people in the hall.

Now at this juncture, a new general was hastily appointed to lead the troops to lead Zhang Ji's remnants. He was inclined to give Zhang Ji's troops and horses to the leading generals who were already present.

At this time, you can see how shameless Li Dao and Guo Yan are.

"My lord. I am very eager to make meritorious deeds, so please allocate the remnants of General Zhang Ji to me. I will lead them to make amends and avenge General Zhang Ji. Li Dao didn't have a trace of guilt on his face, and said to Dong Zhuo with a fist in righteous words.

"My lord. Although General Li is brave and good at fighting, he is not as familiar with training soldiers and horses and appeasing the hearts of his soldiers. Please hand over the remnants of General Zhang Ji to me, and I will definitely appease them, boost their morale, and enable them to quickly build up their combat strength.

Guo Yan didn't want Li Ji to succeed, and he was also salivating for Zhang Ji's remnants, so he stood up and hugged his fists and said.

"Guo Yan!!" Li Wei was furious, suddenly turned his head to look at Guo Yan, and pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist. Guo Yan looked at Li Dao fearlessly and sneered.

When the generals in the hall saw these two people, they either watched coldly, or showed shamelessness, and some people joined in the competition for Zhang Ji's remnants.

No general will dislike the fact that there are more men under his command. Moreover, Zhang Ji's subordinates are all elites, and once merged, they can form combat effectiveness in a short period of time, which is a great inheritance.

Who doesn't salivate?

Looking at the noisy generals, Dong Zhuo suddenly had a headache. And at this moment, Xu Rong, the general of the Youzhou People's Congress, stood up and said a fair word.

"My lord. Although Zhang Ji died, his nephew Zhang Xiu was still there. The nephew inherited his uncle's soldiers and horses, and the remnants of Zhang Ji would also be happy. Moreover, Zhang Xiu is brave and good at fighting, and he has made great achievements in Huaili City, breaking tens of thousands of yellow turbans, which is a rare general.

Xu Rong, who was born with a yellow face and looked tall and thin, bowed to Dong Zhuo from his seat.

As soon as Xu Rong's words fell, Li Wei stood up and objected: "The lord can't, Zhang Xiu's milk stink has not dried up, how can he lead the troops to fight?"

Lord. That Zhang Xiu was short-tempered, and if he was allowed to lead the troops to fight, he would inevitably be defeated and die, causing a catastrophe.

Guo Yan also hurriedly said.

The two are usually one to the east and the other to the west, but they are very compatible at this moment. Zhang Ji was not saved by them, so he died in Shangqi City.

If Zhang Xiu was allowed to lead the troops and horses, wouldn't there be endless troubles? Whoever led the troops could not be Zhang Xiu.

Dong Zhuo's thoughts are completely different from Li Dao and Guo Yan, on the one hand, he admires Zhang Xiu's courage and good fighting, and on the other hand, he likes to see the generals under his command disagree.

However, Dong Zhuo still honestly glanced up at Li Ru and gave a "what do you think" look.

Li Ru pinched his beard and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Lord." General Xu was right. Zhang Xiu is brave and good at fighting, and can inherit Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses. Moreover, Zhang Xiu also collected 20,000 or 30,000 yellow scarf men and women in Huaili City. Just right, Zhang Xiu can prepare more carts and escort grain and grass over to supply the military.

Li Ru's words seemed to be the final word, which made Dong Zhuo no longer hesitate. Under Li Dao and Guo Yan's iron-blue faces, Dong Zhuo stood up, nodded heavily and said, "Immediately send someone to inform Zhang Xiu, and ask him to lead the elite soldiers of the headquarters and the men and women of the yellow scarves to transport military rations." By the way, let him Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses. First of all, I will be a false lieutenant (acting lieutenant) under my command. "

No. Li Ru promised.

"The generals are on heightened vigilance, and they shall not go to war without my orders. Dong Zhuo glanced around at the generals again, his eyes widened, and they were full of threat.

"No. Including

Li Dao and Guo Yan, who were in a very bad mood, the generals didn't dare to touch Dong Zhuo's moldy head, and they all agreed.
