Zhang Xiu, the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

The news soon spread in Luoyang County, and the officials and people were all rejoicing.

Although Zhang Xiu's Luoyang County was put together, the population included Qiang, Hu, Han, Yellow Turban thieves, and Song Jian, and some messy.

In the beginning, of course, people's hearts were in disarray.

But this is Liangzhou, and the people of Liangzhou worship the strong. Moreover, because of the war in Liangzhou for many years, the people are more eager for a strongman to be the county guard and border general.

Zhang Xiu is a fierce person, rampant in Liangzhou, known as "Shenweitian General". Some people also called it "comparable to Xiang Yu in power." "

It's a real mess.

There is Zhang Xiu sitting in Luoyang County, and the people are not panicked. This is the county of Ewi.

The Liangzhou soldiers are strong, but most of them are discouraged. Even in the Ma Teng army, which is known for its generosity, there are many non-commissioned soldiers who are lawless, but Zhang Xiu is here with strict military discipline. Those who dared to harass the people were killed, and all those who were left were well-behaved.

Zhang Xiuguan worshiped the captain of Qiang and guarded the county, and it was not appropriate for

the real [General Ming] also.

Furthermore. Although Zhang Xiu ignored all the affairs in the county, he appointed Xi Zhicai to take charge of the power in the county, and Wang Zhen was the meritorious. Under the co-ordination of Xi Zhicai, the people live and work in peace and contentment.

For example, the Yellow Turban Thief Army, as well as the people who originally experienced war and sorrow in Luoyang County, all enjoyed a rare peace and stability.

How not to be grateful to Zhang Xiu?

Zhang Xiu is also a person, really talented and civil, and a beautiful woman (excellent).

Therefore, Zhang Xiu led his troops to fight, and the people in the county did not make trouble. Now Zhang Xiu captured Shangtai and killed Li Dao, winning a big victory. The news came that Ma Teng's soldiers had retreated thirty miles.

How could the men and women, young and old, the officials and the people in the county not rejoice?

While compiling "songs" and praising Zhang Xiu, the officials and the people began to work on the farm and harvest wheat in the fields.

The beginning of the year lies in spring, and the beginning of the year lies in autumn.

The autumn harvest is sufficient, and the soldiers of Luoyang County have enough food, so they can be worry-free.

But for now, the war is not over. Ma Teng was defeated three times, Cheng Yi was killed, Li Dao was killed, and Shangtai City was broken and attacked Xiangping.

However, Ma Teng's own military strength has not been fundamentally weakened, and Han Sui's reinforcements are in Jincheng, which is not far from Ma Teng's imagination.

In order to avoid the post-autumn war, Zhang Xiu unexpectedly provoked the war first, and the goal has been accomplished, or even overachieved. The next direction of the war will depend on the rescue of the imperial court.

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

Before Zhang Xiu used his troops, he sent two groups of men and horses out of Luoyang County, along the Weishui River, and went straight east to Sanfu.

One of the teams was asking for help from the Luoyang court. The other team turned north and went to Huaili City, Fufeng County, to report to Dong Zhuo.

If the imperial court sends reinforcements, Dong Zhuo must be one of them. Send someone to tell Dong Zhuo first, Dong Zhuo is prepared first, so as to delay the effort.

In the last battle of Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo operated in the dark for a while, exaggerating his merits, and he was exempted from the fact that he did not listen to Huangfu Song's orders. And because of the merit of the crusade against Song Jian, he was generously rewarded by the imperial court.

Although Dong Zhuo lost Li Dao and Guo Yan, after returning to Huaili City, he recruited troops and horses in the local area, and the number of men and horses recovered to 50,000, and the troops were stationed in the north of Huaili City.

Li Ru, as the mastermind, has a single tent and is near the big tent of the Chinese army.

On this day, the weather was fine, and Li Ru had nothing to do, so he read a book in the tent, looking at Han Feizi's scheming skills. Hearing the footsteps outside the tent, Li Ru raised his head.

"Mr. Li, the Lord has summoned you. The retinue walked in and reported.

"Good. Li Ru nodded, put down the bamboo slips, and got up and walked out. After coming to the outside of the Chinese army's tent, Li Ru tidied up his clothes a little, and then went in, just about to salute.

"Li Ru sits, there is no need to salute. Dong Zhuo on the handsome seat was very arrogant. Li Ru also got used to it, so he came to the side seat and sat down. Without waiting for Li Ru to ask, Dong Zhuo said in a complicated tone: "Zhang Xiu was worried that Ma Teng and Han Sui would attack Luoyang County after the autumn, so he preemptively planned to kill Chengyi and seek to capture Shangqi City. He sent someone to the court to ask for help, and he also sent someone to me.

Li Ru understood Dong Zhuo's mood very well, after Zhang Xiuguan visited Captain Qiang, nominally speaking, Zhang Xiu was no longer Dong Zhuo's general.

Both of them are generals of the imperial court guarding the northwest, and they are not subordinate to each other.

And it is different from Dong Zhuo, who has a very bad reputation and loose military discipline. Zhang Xiu is famous as "General Shenweitian", and he recruits talents in Luoyang County, which can be called "virtuous".

Dong Zhuo's qi is actually narrow, so he is a little mustard.

However, Zhang Xiu would send some treasures from time to time to contact Dong Zhuo, and the two sides could still get along in harmony.

Li Ru ignored Dong Zhuo's complicated tone, and only heard the news. After pinching his beard and groaning for a while, he said to Dong Zhuo: "General Zhang is a person who dares to do it, and I am not surprised to do this. He recruited troops and horses in Luoyang, with 30,000 or 40,000 people, and his strength was not weak. If he can delay Ma Teng, and the lord can defeat Han Sui, you may be able to pacify Liangzhou and gain great success. Li

Ru is reasonable. As soon as Dong Zhuo heard that there was a great achievement, the fat on his face trembled, and his tiger eyes burst into essence, full of interest. "I immediately ordered the whole army to prepare, and only waited for the order of the imperial court, and then marched westward.

"No, you can't. Li Ru stopped Dong Zhuo.

"Why?" Dong Zhuo looked dazed.

"Although General Zhang sent someone to Luoyang, he counted the time. It will take at least two days for the fast horse to arrive in Luoyang, and it will take another three or five days for the court to prepare and fight. Waiting for the imperial court to take action, won't it be a delay in the fighter plane? The lord will make his own preparations, do it today, and set off tomorrow.

"And Han Sui is in Jincheng, he also needs time to prepare. The lord might as well take the Longshan Road and get out of Xiao Pass, so that Han Sui can be quickly stopped, so as not to merge Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Li Ru pinched his beard, his eyes were shining, and he was strategizing.

"Good. Prepare now. Dong Zhuo is also a bold man, and when he thought about it, he took the case and ordered.

As Li Ru said, Dong Zhuo spent half a day preparing the carriage, horses, grain and grass. The next day, the camp was opened, and the cavalry was allowed to go first.

Day and night, within a few days, they went out of Xiaoguan to the northwest, and the cavalry in front of them had already approached Jincheng.

At the same time, the imperial court also took a few days of hard work and preparation, still with the left general Huangfu Song as the commander, and supervised the army of 30,000 from Luoyang, along the Weishui River, to support Luoyang County, and mobilize Dong Zhuo to send troops.

The development of things is almost exactly the same as Li Ru's speculation, only one thing ......

..........

Golden City.

After receiving Ma Teng's letter, Han Sui ordered the whole army to prepare. He accepted the lesson of the last time, and this time he left some soldiers and horses in Jinchengtun, but he still had 50,000 horses and troops.

On one day, they prepared grain and grass, and the next day they went out of the city and went south.

The brigade marched, and the speed was certainly not fast. Not long after Han Sui left Jincheng, he heard the news from Ma Teng that Cheng Yi had been killed.

How to say that Cheng Yi is also one of the leaders of the rebels in Liangzhou, Han Sui felt a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, and sighed.

Then Han Sui continued south, and after walking a long way, he came to Longxi County. Then he heard that Shangtai City had been breached and Li Dao had been killed.

Han Sui sighed again, and then ordered the whole army to speed up the march.

Zhang Xiu, this kid is already terrible, if he is not contained, he will grow up infinitely. In the end, it will inevitably become a big problem for the henchmen.

After Han Sui walked for a while, he set up camp near Weishui, and received an urgent report from Ma Teng that Dong Zhuo had left Xiaoguan and was stationed on the south bank of Weishui, intending to stop him.

Late at night. Han Sui, who got the news, wore a black cloak and sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, speechless for a long time, and next to him was Li Neng, a strategist.

"Great. Dong Zhuo dispatched troops too quickly, and I am afraid that he sent troops privately without waiting for the imperial court's edict. Although Dong Zhuo will take a little risk from the court, but militarily speaking, Dong Zhuo has won. It is difficult for us to break through Dong Zhuo and go south to join Ma Dashuai. And Ma Dashuai's 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses may not be able to defeat Zhang Xiu. If there are additional reinforcements from the imperial court. We will fall into disadvantage. It is better to send someone to tell Ma Dashuai that they should retreat and defend the city.

Li Neng sighed and said to Han Sui.

Han Sui broke free from the silence, raised his head and nodded to Li Neng and said, "Sir's words are very much in line with my wishes." Enterprising has no benefit, only damage. With that

, Han Sui asked Li Neng to grind the ink, took a white cloth, wrote a letter with a pen, and quickly sent it to Ma Teng.

But the plan to withdraw from the army had been decided, and instead of breathing a sigh of relief, Han Sui's heart became even heavier. He raised his head and said to Li Neng: "Zhang Xiu is brave and good at fighting, and is known as "General Shenweitian". We have hundreds of thousands of troops in Liangzhou, and none of them can compare to him. Be decisive and dare to act. I originally discussed with my brother (Ma Teng) that the autumn harvest was enough to send troops and pull out Zhang Xiu. But Zhang Xiu was unexpected, and he started before the autumn harvest. Kill Cheng Yi first, then kill Li Dao, and occupy Shangtai City. He is really a hero of Liangzhou. If Zhang Er doesn't die, I will die without a place to be buried.

Li Neng was silent, he could become Han Sui's main adviser, and he also considered himself a man of intelligence. He followed Han Sui for many years, fighting in the south and in the north.

He has never seen a person like Zhang Xiu, whose power is overwhelming, just like Xiang Yu. The use of soldiers was unexpected, as if Han Xin.

deserves a "Liangzhou hero".

If this person does not die, Ma Teng and Han Sui will never have peace.

Soon after, Han Sui let Li Neng leave, and early the next morning, Han Sui withdrew his troops and returned to Jincheng. And with Han Sui's retreat, Ma Teng was unable to support himself alone, and also retreated and returned to Jicheng.

Dong Zhuo's soldiers were very fast, and they went out of Longshan Road privately to confront Han Sui, but they didn't even fight, and they didn't get any credit.

But he didn't have the ability either, and the lone army went deep into Jincheng to attack Han Sui, so he could only scold, and then retreated in disgrace.

The left general Huangfu Song was even more miserable, he led 30,000 elite soldiers, just walked through Wuzhang Plain, did not arrive at Luoyang County, and got the news of Ma Teng and Han Sui's retreat, he did not hesitate, and immediately returned to the court.

In this battle, Zhang Xiu killed Cheng Yi and won Cheng Yi's infantry army and population.

killed Li Dao, got Shangtai City, and Li Dao's 10,000 elite soldiers.

really fought his own battle, and then took advantage of the power of the imperial court, with the soldiers and horses of Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song, to deter and retreat Ma Teng and Han Sui, which can be described as a complete victory.
