Chapter 40: The Siege of Li Dao

When Cao Cao was going well, Dong Zhuo was holding the beautiful Diao Chan in Chang'an and sighed.

"I think that Cao thief, a puppet, when he was in Luoyang, he assassinated me, and I saw through it, like a lost dog, he escaped from Luoyang, and now he has become a hero, angry old man!"

Listening to Dong Zhuo talk about Cao Cao, there was a strategist Li Ru next to him who stepped forward.

"Father Shang, do you know why Cao Cao rose so quickly?"

"I don't know, let's hear it!"

Li Ru told Dong Zhuo about Chen Liucheng's "Great Han Commander" Zhang Guang's advice for Cao Cao and the capture of Qingzhou.

"If there is chaos today, there is such a strange person in the world? No, we must find a way to get Chang'an, such a strange person, Cao Cao'er, what qualifications do you have to become its lord? ”

At this time, Dong Zhuo's confidant Li Dao was on the side, so he stepped forward and took the initiative to ask for help.

"The last general, Li Dao, is willing to go to Chen Liucheng to arrest Zhang Guang for Shang's father."

"How can it be captured? Yes please? Got it? In any case, I have to invite Zhang Guang to Chang'an, you know? ”

"The last general understands!"

"Okay, Li Dao, you will take my 5,000 Flying Bear Army, and then order 20,000 troops, and go to Chen Liucheng."

Li Dao is worthy of being the No. 1 Liangzhou henchman under Dong Zhuo.

The lone army went deep, swept all the way, plundered Yingchuan and other places along the way, and attacked under Chenliu City, surrounded by water.

At this time, Li Dao's subordinates increased by 50,000 people, most of whom were recruited on the way to Chen Liucheng.

In this siege, Cao Cao was in a hurry.

If Zhang Guang is captured by Li Dao and taken to Chang'an, Dong Zhuo will be like a tiger with wings, and the situation in the world will definitely change.

Helplessly, he was fighting fiercely with Zhang Xiao at this time and could not return to help, so Cao Cao had to write a letter to Xiahoudun and Zhang Miao respectively.

Undoubtedly, the two of them sent troops to help Zhang Guang.

Zhang Miao wished that Zhang Guang would be destroyed by Li Dao, and repeatedly found excuses to delay.

Xiahoudun sent troops, three days and three nights, and traveled less than 100 miles.

Zhang Guang, Dian Wei, Pang Tong, Gan Ning and others stopped on the city wall, looking at the 70,000 troops outside the city and thousands of well-equipped Flying Bear Army, and admired Li Dao, the general of Xiliang, in their hearts.

"Big brother, this Li Dao is not an ordinary person, he has a brave and treacherous personality, and he is good at using soldiers, and now he is besieging Chen Liu, what should he do?" Pang Tong asked.

"During this time, I have been waiting for Wei Zhen, but I didn't expect to wait for Li Dao, or okay, Dong Zhuo sent me a big gift."

"Big brother, more than 70,000 troops besieged me Chen Liu, how did it become a big gift?" Pang Tong was puzzled.

"Haha, soon, Lu Bu will turn against Dong Zhuo, as soon as Dong Zhuo dies, the tree will fall and scatter, Li Dao and his 10,000 flying bear army will be my Zhang Guang's."

"Moreover, Li Dao came to Chenliu this time, it is estimated that he came to me, don't worry, he will not attack the city, he will only come to negotiate with me."

"My lord, are you really a god descending from heaven? Why are you so sure that Li Dao will not attack the city? How did you know that Lu Bu would be against Dong Zhuo? "Gan Ning and the others are a little unconvinced, if their own lord can be counted as these, then it is really a god descending from heaven.

"The secret of heaven must not be revealed, don't worry, you wait and see."

Zhang Guang was right, Li Dao did not attack the city, but came to the city every day to shout, so that Zhang Guang came out to see him, Zhang Guang was too lazy to pay attention, and still studied weapons with the old blacksmith every day.

"Lord, Li Dao outside the city seems to have lost his patience, gathering tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to set up a formation outside the city, and he is calling for a battle." Gan Ning ran to report.

"Well, it's almost time, let's go, let's go meet this Xiliang fierce general."

"General Li, what's the matter? Can't get enough of it? Want to start fighting? ”

Li Wei was shouting outside the city, when he heard someone on the city wall talking loudly, and when he looked up, a group of people of different heights and heights appeared on the wall.

In the center is a slender, lightweight, majestic, and very handsome general, and it is this person who speaks.

"On the wall, is it the 'Great Han Destiny Master' Zhang Guang?"

"Exactly!" Zhang Guang responded.

"Ben will obey the orders of his father Dong Zhuo and come to respectfully invite Zhang Mingshi to enter Chang'an!"

"Haha, General Li, your Dong Zhuo has been killed by Lu Bu, what are you still doing according to his orders?"

"What? It is said that you Zhang Guang is a god of heaven and knows everything, in my opinion, you are a Huangkou child, talking nonsense, who doesn't know that General Lu is Shang's father and righteous son, how could he kill Shang's father? Li Dao couldn't help but scold.

"For the sake of Diao Chan! General Li, if you think about it carefully, is this possible? ”

Li Wei listened to Zhang Guang's and thought about it carefully, it was really possible.

Lu Bu once killed his father-in-law Ding Yuan for the sake of the horse Chitu.

Now for the sake of the beautiful Diao Chan, it is very likely to kill Dong Zhuo!

However, this Zhang Guang has been in Chen Liucheng all the time, and he has surrounded Chen Liucheng to a flood, how did he know that Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo?

Are you bluffing me?

"Zhang Guang, whether what you said is true or not, open the city gate and go to Chang'an with me, otherwise, today will be the day I break the city."

"Li Dao, first, what I said is absolutely true, you can get the news before it gets dark today; Second, don't say that it's your 70,000 rabble, even if the 70,000 soldiers and horses are all flying bear troops, you can't break my Chen Liucheng. ”

Zhang Guang's words spread far and wide, not only Li Dao, but also the Flying Bear Army and 70,000 soldiers and horses behind Li Dao, all of whom were coaxing.

"General Li, I don't think this Zhang Guang is a life master, he should be called a 'mad master'."

"That's right, a fortune teller."

"General Li, what are you talking about with him? Break the city directly, tie him up and take him to Chang'an and hand him over to Shang's father. ”

Li Wei thought about it, too, after breaking the city, he would be tied up and taken to Chang'an.

"Okay, you all give it to me, whoever breaks the city first, the official is promoted to the third level, remember, take it easy, don't hurt Zhang Guang, after all, he is the person named by Shang's father to see."

The Xiliang army was already brave in battle, and there were 5,000 flying bear troops to advertise, and the siege battle was not ordinary.

There were shouts of killing everywhere.

Chen Liucheng faced enemies everywhere.

Stone-throwing vehicles, siege vehicles, wall ladders, door-breaking vehicles.

All the siege weapons that can be used are used.

All the Xiliang troops wanted to be the first to attack the city, coupled with Zhang Guang's previous sarcasm, they all rushed forward with all their strength.

Zhang Guang's Ninth Army, which defended in an orderly manner, did not panic because of the fierce offensive of Li Wei's subordinates.

Zhang Yan, Li Hao, Dadaoniu and Huang Yan each held one side.

Zhang Guang, Dian Wei, Pang Tong, and Gan Ning have become lively people.

"General Li, no, the city wall of Chen Liucheng must be reinforced, no matter how you smash it, it can't be smashed."

"Moreover, their bows and arrows, I don't know what's going on, our people are still more than a hundred feet away from the city, and they were hit by arrows."

"That's right, our catapults don't have as much range as their bows and arrows."

With more than 70,000 soldiers and horses, let alone breaking the city, there is no way to attack under the city walls.

Li Dao has been fighting for so many years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a strange thing.

The small Chen Liucheng, if it was in the past, Li Dao only needed 30,000 soldiers and horses, and he could break through it in less than two hours.
