Zhang Xiu, the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Although Ma Teng and Han Sui handled it properly, they were not really overwhelmed by Zhang Xiu's 5,000 elite soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of troops. But it also lost six generals and killed and wounded thousands.

And all of them were killed by Zhang Xiu, the first five were stabbed to death by Zhang Xiu with a shot, and Sun Sheng was killed by Zhang Xiu with an arrow.

It's really hateful to use your own generals to achieve the prestige of the other party.

After Ma Teng and Han Sui withdrew their troops in Zhang Xiu, they also collected their troops in Mingjin and went back to the camp.

The two rode in, looked around at the soldiers, one by one, like a mourned old mother, their morale was low, and they couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Xian. The day before yesterday, Dong Zhuo lost the general Zhang Ji, killing and wounding thousands of people. Morale is devastating. Now we are following in his footsteps.

In the midst of riding the horse, Ma Teng smiled bitterly and looked back at Han Suidao.

Han Sui also sighed and nodded silently. Then, he sincerely raised his head and said to Ma Teng: "Now the defeat is only because of one person. "

Zhang Xiu is young, and she has a grudge against us to kill my uncle. He was brave and good at fighting, and killed six of our generals in a row. In our army, there is no general who can match him. Sun Sheng fought a fierce battle with 5,000 elite soldiers, but he was also defeated. Looking at its use of troops, aggression is like fire, and it stops like mountains and forests. There are rules for advancing and retreating. I'm afraid it's going to be a great trouble for us. "

Ma Teng is a martial artist, Han Sui is a celebrity, in terms of intelligence, Han Sui thinks more long-term than Ma Teng.

In today's war, with their hundreds of thousands of troops, Zhang Xiu's prestige was achieved. Its march, advancing and retreating like the wind, made Han Sui feel a deep chill.

Ma Teng didn't think much about it just now, but now that he thinks about it, he suddenly feels cold all over his body.

"If the imperial court takes this person as the commander, it will be a real problem for the overseers to come to Liangzhou with 100,000 troops.

Ma Teng let out a long sigh and said.

"Yes. Han Sui also sighed.

There will be a bear, and a nest of soldiers. In their eyes, Huangfu Song is terrible, but Dong Zhuo is not terrible, and Zhang Xiu is also terrible.

If Zhang Xiu was standing in Dong Zhuo's position now, they would not dare to enter the army like this. Ma Teng and Han Sui sighed as they rode their horses back to the big tent with the generals.

Some soldiers brought wine and food to warm everyone's bodies.

Han Sui took a sip of the wine glass, suddenly his eyes lit up, he looked up at Ma Teng, and said, "Brother, it's better to use a trick to get rid of it." "

How to get rid of it?" Ma Teng's eyes also lit up, and he asked. If you don't stretch your bow and branches, it is really refreshing to win with conspiracy.

"Zhang Ji died in Shangqi City, and Li Dao and Guo Yan did not save him when they saw death. Now Zhang Xiu's nephew attacked his uncle's soldiers, rampaging outside the city gate, and achieved a great name with our hundreds of thousands of troops. They must have been jealous and fearful. We bribed the two of them with a lot of money, and used Dong Zhuo's slander to separate Zhang Xiu and Dong Zhuo.

"That embroidered blood is strong, man, where is it not beautiful? I have a concubine, who is stunning, and I can give it to him." and gave him riches, and silver and gold, and bribes him. and give him a county of land. He is young and vigorous, maybe he will rebel against Dong Zhuo and join us.

"In this way, the court is weakened, and we are like a tiger with wings. "

Again. Spread rumors among Dong Zhuojun that Zhang Xiu had a rebellious heart. Dong Zhuo was suspicious, and Li Dao and Guo Yan slandered. Dong Zhuo will kill Zhang Xiu.

"These three strategies fell, either Dong Zhuo killed Zhang Xiu, or Zhang Xiu rebelled against Dong Zhuo. We can all profit from it.

Ma Teng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he stroked his palms and smiled: "Brother Xian is really a clever plan." If you can't win a war, you can use a strategy.

"We're getting ready.

"Okay. Han Sui nodded in response. So Han Sui immediately sent someone to drive to the city and bring back his beloved concubine.

and together with Ma Teng prepared riches, gold and silver, and prepared to act according to the plan.

............

Let's talk about Dong Zhuo's side.

Zhang Xiu saw that there was nothing to do, so he decisively withdrew his troops. He held the bow full of circles, and broke off with the generals himself. The army retreated slowly, advancing and retreating in a very orderly manner.

Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, and Fan Chou could only withdraw their troops without reaping any benefits. The four armies and horses soon entered the city.

Zhang Xiu and Dian Wei Nai entered the city last, and after the two entered the city, the heavy city gate closed.

"Welcome General Zhang back to the army. Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses on both sides of the city knelt down on one knee and greeted Zhang Xiudao.

Zhang Xiulian killed six generals in the army of Ma Teng and Han Sui, who were really bears and tigers, and their momentum soared into the sky.

Most of Dong Zhuo's army are from Liangzhou, among which there are Qiang, Hu and Han, and they worship the strong the most. Naturally, Zhang Xiu was convinced.

Zhang Xiu and these soldiers had nothing to say, without any expression, they galloped to the city, turned over and dismounted, and walked up the city wall according to the steps. After seeing Dong Zhuo, Zhang Xiu bowed down and bowed: "Dong Gong, the last general is fortunate not to be dishonored." "

Hahaha. Not only was it fortunate not to be dishonored, but it was much beyond my expectations. Although Zhang Ji is dead, he has your nephew, which is like being reborn. Dong Zhuo laughed, his face trembled, and he made no secret of his love for Zhang Xiu.

Li Ru pinched his beard and smiled on the side, what the lord said was right, although he lost Zhang Ji, but he got Zhang Xiu, not only did Zhang Ji come back to life, but made a lot of money.

Xu Rong, Hua Xiong and other generals also smiled on the side to express their blessings.

Li Dao, Guo Yan and others had gloomy faces, and the stronger Zhang Xiu was, the more uneasy they felt in their hearts.

"Someone. Dong Zhuo turned around and waved, and a bunch of soldiers walked out with big plates, on which were gold, silver, and cloth.

In the Han Dynasty, cloth silk had a numismatic function.

To put it simply, Dong Zhuo is throwing money at Zhang Xiu.

"I have always had clear rewards and punishments, and you have to reward you for your great achievements today. There are 300 gold, 1,000 silver, and 500 pieces of cloth. There were also ten good horses under the city. All are given to you. I will also ask the court for credit, make you a captain, and get some rewards. I hope you are so good that you kill the enemy. Dong Zhuo smiled and pointed to these treasures, and said with a smile.

"Thank you Dong Gong for the reward. I will definitely kill more enemies and live up to Dong Gong's kindness. Zhang Xiu looked grateful, knelt down on one knee, and accepted the reward.

The big husband can bend and stretch. Zhang Xiucheng's mansion is quite deep, and he knows that Dong Zhuo's big ship will definitely show off the sky, so he naturally does his best to cater to it.

"Hahahaha. I have a big man, so why worry about big things. Dong Zhuo laughed and helped Zhang Xiu up, very cordial and enthusiastic.

This made Li Dao and Guo Yan more and more jealous, and the two glanced at each other vaguely, both gritting their teeth.

After this battle. Dong Zhuo's negative impact on Zhang Ji was written off before, and Dong Zhuo's morale was greatly boosted, while the morale of Ma Teng and Han Sui's army was greatly reduced, and the so-called situation was reversed.

But Ma Teng and Han Sui are stronger than Dong Zhuo after all.

After that, Dong Zhuo held a celebration banquet and let the generals have a drink, and then ordered the generals to return to the camp and station, and there was no further tactical arrangement.

Zhang Xiu's army has gone out of the city to go back to the camp to station, after the banquet is already evening, Zhang Xiudu and his command Dian Wei and other more than ten horsemen, out of the east gate of the city, back to the camp.

After Pang De learned the news, he led Hu Che'er, Liu Pi, Gongdu and others out of the camp to greet Zhang Xiu.

"General. After Pang De and the others saw Zhang Xiu, they immediately bowed and saluted.

"Excuse me. Zhang Xiu raised his hand, then turned over and dismounted, without concealing his special attitude towards Pound, and personally helped the brother up. Then he asked, "How is the situation in the army?"

At the end, the pigs and sheep were slaughtered, and the soldiers had already eaten with plenty of oil and water. I have divided the reward given by Dong Gong into 20% of the soldiers, and the rest is left for military use. I have taken good care of the wounded soldiers. At present, the morale of the soldiers is high, please rest assured.

Pound bowed, smiled, and reported one by one.

"Good. Soldiers must not be left without mercy. Zhang Xiu nodded heavily. Then he entered the camp with the generals, and after the soldiers had eaten enough, they were resting outside the tent, and after seeing Zhang Xiu, they all stood up and bowed and saluted, and there was no one who did not respect Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu also waved his hand slightly at this, they were all his own soldiers.

There's not much to say after that, after coming to the big tent. Pang De and the others dispersed, and only Dian Wei stood guard outside the door with his sword. Zhang Xiu entered the big tent alone and saw Xi Zhicai dressed in a big hat in the tent.

"What's wrong with Zhicai? If it gets worse, it's not good. Zhang Xiu saw that Xi Zhicai's face was pale, and he couldn't help shaking his head and said.

"Someone. Go get the brazier. Immediately, he shouted out the door.

"No. A soldier said yes and immediately brought in a brazier. The temperature in the tent suddenly rose a lot, and Xi Zhicai's face was also a little ruddy.

"Thank you, General, for your care. It's just that the general is fighting outside, and I'm lying in bed, which is really ashamed. Zhang Xiu is a warm man, Xi Zhicai has been taught many times, but he still feels a little warm, and he arched his hand and said.

"Hey. Zhicai can't say that. There's no way around getting sick. Zhang Xiu shook his head and said.

"Can you use rice porridge?" Zhang Xiu immediately said with concern. Xi Zhicai was weak and sickly, and now he was sick again, Zhang Xiu specially asked the soldiers to cook porridge for Xi Zhicai, and added some red dates and lotus seeds.

"It's been used. Xi Zhicai nodded and said.

The two talked for a while, and Xi Zhicai got down to business and asked, "The general's battle made the morale of the Dong Gongjun a big victory. Now that the situation is reversed, I don't know if Dong Gong has any further arrangements?"

Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he had a guess in his heart. He shook his head first and said, "Dong Gong doesn't have any arrangements. Then he stared at Xi Zhicai, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Zhicai can have a good strategy

to destroy Ma Teng and Han Sui?" "Ma Teng and Han Sui each have strong soldiers, and it is extremely difficult to destroy them. But it was easy to get them to retreat, and they didn't even need to do it. Xi Zhicai smiled slightly.

"Liangzhou is dilapidated, vast and sparsely populated. Ma Teng and Han Sui have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and grain and grass have always been a problem. They must settle the battle before the beginning of spring, and let the strong go back to the fields to cultivate.

Zhang Xiu also understands the art of war, knows what Xi Zhicai means, nodded and said.

This is also an important reason why Dong Zhuo arrogantly used tens of thousands of elite soldiers to fight against Ma Teng and Han Sui's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. Ma Teng and Han Sui had no food and grass, and the army withdrew.

But if that's all there is to it, does Xi Zhicai still need to say it?

Zhang Xiu raised his head and looked at Xi Zhicai with blazing eyes.

"The general can dare to go deep into the enemy's territory and cut off the grain routes of Ma Teng and Han Sui. Take the chestnut from the fire and get the battle merits?" Xi Zhicai raised his head and asked with a smile.
