Zhang Xiu, the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Although he returned victoriously, Zhao Yun was cautious by nature, and still sent out scout horses and sentinels to spy and defend the enemy army, but most of them were scattered in the north and west, the south was the Qinling Mountains, and there would be no enemy army, and the east was the Luoyang army, and the enemy army would not be killed from there.

After a day's journey, Zhao Yun led the team to approach Luoyang County. Under the word "Zhao", Zhao Yun took the lead, and Xiahoulan was in the center, and he was also vigilantly watching the surroundings.

Because Zhao Yun held their families, none of the soldiers who surrendered escaped.

"Da-da-da-da. Suddenly, there was an atmosphere of smoke and dust in front of him, as if people were killing him. Although Zhao Yun expected that it might be the receiving men and horses in Luoyang County, he still ordered the elite soldiers to be in front, and the old and weak to be in the rear, and lined up to meet the battle.

Not long after, a fast horse galloped first, and immediately the broad-faced knight reported to Zhao Yundao: "Report to Zhao Sima." The person who came was Wang Jing and Cai Bu, who were under the command of Pang Duwei (Pang De), and were ordered to lead 1,000 people to respond. There is also a military order for Zhao Sima to bring the drama Changshi (Xi Zhicai). With

that, the knight took out a rolled white cloth from his arms, turned over and dismounted to Zhao Yun's horse, bowed down and handed it over.

Zhao Yun was a little vigilant, reached out and took the white cloth, and then unfolded it to take a look. His brow furrowed.

"Big brother, what is the military order?" Xia Houlan rode a black horse from the rear team to the front team, and asked with a little curiosity.

Ma Teng led 50,000 Ma Bu troops to attack Lüyang, and the opera chief Shi was worried that Xiangping City was in front, and the guard Liu County Lieutenant (Liu Pi) led 4,000 men and horses, I am afraid that Ma Teng would not be able to stop the onslaught. Ordered me to abandon my baggage, light the army day and night, and go into the city first to help.

Zhao Yun said.

"Big brother, we are sleepy. Xia Houlan showed a little embarrassment on her face, and glanced back at the soldier. They had already marched fast before, and there was another big battle.

"The military situation is urgent, how can it be avoided?" Zhao Yun took the general's order and stuffed it into the burlap bag behind the horse. After Wang Jing and Cai Bu arrived with a thousand soldiers and horses, Zhao Yun handed over the surrender of troops and people to these two, and after saying some more words, he led Xiahou Lan and his two or three thousand soldiers and horses, gave up most of the baggage, took Chengyi's head, and went to Xiangping City with a light army.

Although Ma Teng had a large number of men and horses, he also had a lot of baggage, and although the army marched as fast as possible, it was not as fast as Zhao Yun's abandonment of baggage and the light army forward.

Therefore, Zhao Yun was able to come to Xiangping City before Ma Teng arrived in Xiangping.

Unlike Linwei City, Linwei City is equivalent to building a new, higher, larger, and stronger city. Xiangping City demolished the original old city wall, rebuilt a strong and tall city wall on the original range, and built Weng City.

Although the city is not as big as Linwei City, it is difficult to hide more soldiers and horses. But it is also a hard city with a husband and wife.

There are even flags hanging on the city, one large and one small. The big one is "Zhang", and the small one is "Liu". South of the city. Liu Pixian got the news, opened the city gate, and led two teams of soldiers to greet Zhao Yun.

After seeing Zhao Yun's people, Liu Bi took a bowl of wine from the soldier's hand, and when Zhao Yun rode over, he handed the wine to Zhao Yun, and there was a soldier next to him who handed the wine to Xiahoulan.

"Congratulations to General Zhao, who made a great contribution to Chengyi and returned. Liu Bi first congratulated, and then said happily: "But Zhao Sima is here." Ma Teng's 50,000 horse infantry troops came, and I only had 4,000 men, and my heart was really uneasy. "

Thank you, County Lieutenant Liu. Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan turned over and dismounted together, took the glass of wine and drank it. After handing over the empty wine glass to the soldier next to him, Zhao Yun also said to Liu Pi sincerely: "County Lieutenant Liu." Our troops come and go, and the people are sleepy and lacking. Ma Teng came, and asked County Lieutenant Liu to take someone to guard one or two first, and then come to help when our department recuperates.

"Of course. Liu Bi said solemnly.

Zhao Yun can come to the rescue, but he does what he is told. But if you're late, you won't be able to enter the city. Ma Teng's cavalry was not idle, and they might have stopped Zhao Yun outside the city.

Zhao Yun came so early, he really didn't avoid hardships and dangers, and he was wholeheartedly for the public.

Although he Liu Pi is not talented, he is also a righteous person. Of course, you have to hold it up for a few days first, so that Zhao Yun can recuperate.

Although Zhao Yun is a tired army, after raising it, it is also two or three thousand soldiers and horses. This is by no means the same situation as his 4,000 soldiers and horses guarding Xiangping.

After the two had spoken at the gate of the city, they entered the city together. Liu Pi's affairs have been arranged, and after Zhao Yun's men entered the city, they immediately arranged for a meal and then recuperated.

Zhao Yun and Xiahoulan came to the hall of the county lieutenant's yamen at the invitation of Liu Pi to drink and eat meat.

Zhang Xiu has always treated his subordinates well and often rewarded them. Liu Bi's county lieutenant yamen is very well repaired, and Liu Bi also has a singer on weekdays, and he will occasionally enjoy it when he practices martial arts and listens to books.

But now that the army is pressing, forget it.

The three of them only sat in a zigzag, drinking wine and eating meat.

"County Lieutenant Liu. I don't know how many days Ma Teng's soldiers and horses are still a few days away from Xiangping?" After Zhao Yun took a sip of wine, he was not in a hurry to eat meat, and raised his head to care about the military situation.

"There are about two days to go. Liu Bi also replied solemnly.

"Is there enough grain, grass, and arrows in the city?" Zhao Yun nodded, and then asked again.

"Zhao Sima rest assured. Liu Pi smiled and said, "Before the general came, the chief of the drama sent people to transport grain and arrows here. I have also moved the people of the neighborhood into the city. If the situation is unfavorable, you can also recruit the strong defenders. At present, there is enough grain and straw in the city to feed the soldiers and civilians in the city for three months, and barely enough to eat for April. Plenty of arrows.

Zhao Yun smiled and nodded slightly.

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

In the evening, to the northwest, inside the tent of the Maten camp.

Ma Tenggao sat on the handsome seat, and his subordinates were lined up on both sides. Yang Fu, who joined the army, ranked third among civilian officials and was deeply trusted.

But Ma Teng's face was very ugly.

"Great. Please avenge my general. In front of Ma Teng kneeling Cheng Yi's cavalry general Zhang Ao, this person left in a hurry, came to join Ma Teng, and the cavalry under his command also scattered a lot, and now he is crying like a lost dog.

"General Zhang is relieved. I have been a comrade with General Cheng for many years, and I will avenge him. Since the general is here, he will be a subordinate here. Come, please take General Zhang down to rest first.

Although Ma Teng's face was ugly, he still comforted him generously.

"Thank you, Sir. Seeing this, Zhang Ao's face dissipated a little panic, and after bowing, he turned around and left.

"Chengyi, it's really not enough to succeed and more than to lose. Who is Zhao Yun? He is so brave? Under Zhang Xiu's command, where did he come from so many fierce generals?" After Zhang Ao left, Ma Teng couldn't hold back anymore, and said angrily.

Although there are not many thousands of people in Chengyi, they are also meat, which can add momentum, and now it is good, it is like breaking an arm. Moreover, it is estimated that Zhao Yun has taken his troops to capture Yucheng, and Zhang Xiu's troops and population have increased a little.

The handsome man was angry. Although General Cheng is a pity, Zhao Yun also has to guard against it. But now that the arrow is on the line, it has to be sent. Please quickly surround and attack Xiangping City. and sent the horses to the south. If Pound and others send troops to rescue, they will send reinforcements. Quick.

Yang Fu, as a newly favored strategist, naturally stood up and persuaded him.

Ma Teng's anger calmed down slightly, and he nodded in a deep voice and said, "Let's all go down and rest, and recuperate." March as soon as possible and kill to the foot of Xiangping City. "

No. The generals said yes and dispersed together.

"Hey. When Ma Teng was the only one left in the tent, he let out a long sigh and looked worried.

They are all getting weaker and weaker the more they fight, why is this embroidery getting stronger and stronger? Zhao Yun, a native of Changshan, is damnable.

"If Zhang Xiu is not removed, I will definitely kill his hands in the future. With

a worried heart, Ma Teng summoned his own soldiers to come in and undress him from his armor, and then went into the inner tent to rest, sleep first, and have a good dream first.

Although it was a loss to Chengyi, it was a blow to Ma Teng. However, Ma Teng's 50,000 Ma Bu army still existed, but it was no problem. Ma Teng soon marched outside the city of Xiangping.

In accordance with Yang Fu's suggestion, he issued a military order.

With 10,000 cavalry, the troops were stationed on the southern avenue, and additional horses were sent to listen to the movements of the three cities of Qingshui, Linwei and Luoyang, and if there were reinforcements, they would lead the troops to attack the reinforcements.

The remaining 40,000 horse infantry troops were divided into three divisions, and large camps were set up in the north of the city, the east of the city, and the west of the city.

If the defenders in the city could not hold out and fought through the south gate, they would inevitably be attacked by Ma Teng's 10,000 cavalry.

After Ma Teng set up the camp, it was already noon. Although there was still an afternoon to attack the city, but the soldiers were tired, Ma Teng told the soldiers to rest for a day and night, and then attack the city again tomorrow.

However, Ma Teng himself couldn't sleep, but led more than 100 light horsemen out of the camp to watch the west of Xiangping City.

Ma Teng's face was a little ugly, the city had been in tatters not so long ago, but now it had been renovated, thicker, taller, and stronger.

"If it weren't for Zhang Xiu's rampant Liangzhou that day, I would have lost my grain road. Han Sui and I had already invaded this city and killed Dong Zhuo. There would be no situation today.

Ma Teng said secretly in his heart.

On the west gate of the city, in front of the city gate tower, under the banner of the words "Zhang", "Zhao" and "Liu", Zhao Yun, Liu Pi and Xiahoulan stood on the city wall, holding the female wall to watch the Ma Teng camp and the Ma Teng who came on a light horse.

Although Ma Teng has been defeated repeatedly, he has not broken his muscles and bones. There are many counties in Mateng County, and the people and horses recover quickly. The soldiers of Jialiangzhou fought fiercely, and their strength recovered very quickly. Don't take it lightly. Zhao Yun looked up at Ma Teng's camp, the killing aura filled the sky, and the momentum was majestic, and he couldn't help but say to Liu Bi and Xia Houlan next to him.

"Exactly. Liu Bi and Xia Houlan nodded in agreement.

That's so true, you can't agree with it.

Especially in the past few days, Liu Pi has listened to a lot of drama Chong lectures and read military books, and he has understood many truths. Strategy can underestimate the enemy, but tactically you must pay attention to the enemy.

Maarten is not to be taken lightly.

After Zhao Yun said a word, he cast his eyes on the more than 100 light horsemen under the city. He dared to conclude that Ma Teng was among them.

"If Ma Teng does not run, I will lead fifty light horsemen out of the house, and Ma Teng will be killed. At that time, the counties of Longyou can be pacified.

With Zhao Yun's steady character, he couldn't help but fantasize, and his heart was pounding.

But soon Zhao Yun gave up this unrealistic idea, and it was impossible for Ma Teng not to run.
