As soon as he saw Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong patted his godson's head: "Good look, Dingguo, it is really rare to be able to fight with Zuo Liangyu for so long and not fall behind." Li Dingguo has already checked, his 3,000 cavalry, lost nearly 1,000 people, and he hated it so much: "Dashuai, take a rest, and go over to take Zuo Liangyu's head." ”

Zhang Xianzhong shook his head again and again: "You can't do it brutely, Zuo Liangyu is very cunning, and I don't see Sun Chuanting's people, so let's be careful." You go to rest first. ”

Li Dingguo went down hatefully.

Luo Rucai said: "There are not many people in Zuo Liangyu, but it is as fast as the wind, and it is difficult to gather and annihilate, and I think that Sun Chuanting is not here, and he took a detour to Xi'an to rescue Lao Hong." ”

Zhang Xianzhong nodded. Luo Rucai said: "What should we do?" Stay here and do it with the surname Zuo, or go back to Xi'an City? Zhang Xianzhong said: "If Zuo Liangyu is consumed here with us, he can't stop here for a long time, otherwise once Lao Hong escapes, he will bring someone to attack us." What I mean is to leave all the cavalry, drag Zuo Liangyu, and then return to the division with the whole army, kill Sun Chuanting, and continue to besiege Xi'an. This time, we will continue to work day and night, and we must break through the city. ”

Luo Rucai said: "Yes, if Cao Wenzhao comes again, Lao Hong will no longer be able to catch it, and once the opportunity is lost, it will never be gone." ”

After the discussion, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai sent all the cavalry under their subordinates, all of which were led by Li Dingguo, and stayed to drag Zuo Liangyu, and the two explained clearly, if possible, they would annihilate Zuo Liangyu's army, if it was impossible, drag him as much as possible, as long as he did not rush to the city of Xi'an, it was the first achievement.

Li Dingguo was eager to try, this young man was not afraid of a tough battle, he was afraid that he would not fight, he had already held back his competition with Zuo Liangyu, hearing this, he pulled out a knife in his hand, and slapped the back of the knife on his forehead twice: "Dashuai, Luo Shuai, if you let Zuo Liangyu go over and ride alone, you will cut off my head." ”

Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai straightened out their men and horses, quickly went back to kill, and wanted to clean up Sun Chuanting.

Zuo Liangyu's men and horses saw it, and a deputy general reported: "General, the thieves left the cavalry, and all the infantry retreated." Zuo Liangyu smiled slightly: "They were afraid that Sun Chuanting would save Xi'an, so they went back to beat Sun Chuanting's men, hum, count them to turn fast." ”

The adjutant general said, "What should we do?" ”

Zuo Liangyu looked at Li Dingguo's thousands of cavalry and sneered: "What should I do?" Hey, take turns eating. That's it. The adjutant general was a little anxious when he heard this: "General, what should I do about Lord Sun?" Can his thousands of people be able to resist these tens of thousands of thieves? Zuo Liangyu said: "We are now beyond the reach of the whip chief, haven't you seen the thousands of anti-thief cavalry on the opposite side?" If we want to pass, it will be a bloody battle. There are quite a few opponents, and the main general is also a fierce general. After the battle was lost, do you still have the strength to rescue Sun Chuanting? ”

The adjutant didn't dare to say anything.

Although Zuo Liangyu doesn't study, he is very scheming, he understands that in troubled times, strength is the foundation of his foothold, once he has no generals under him, in the eyes of the court, he is a useless person, he can be thrown aside at any time, or even kill his own head to intimidate other generals. Therefore, he will never take risks, and when he uses soldiers, he tries to choose soft fights, and when he encounters a hard hand, he can avoid it.

The way to promotion in troubled times, Zuo Liangyu has no teacher.

In addition, he also has a thought, he thinks that Sun Chuanting is very powerful, this official is both civil and military, and he is not softer than himself when he kills people, and the article is also well written, and he can eat well in the group of scholars in the court. As long as he has military merits, he will be promoted all the way, and his official fortune will be prosperous, isn't Hong Chengchou a role model?

Zuo Liangyu's ambition is not small, where does he take the position of a chief military officer in his eyes, he wants to be an official like Hong Chengchou, govern several provinces, and seal the territory. And all this must have enough military merit.

The current Sun Chuanting is here to grab credit. As long as he comes forward, someone in the DPRK and China will definitely have good things to say, and he will have an advantage over himself.

Therefore, he decided not to save Sun Chuanting, let him fend for himself, and it was best to die under the city of Xi'an.

As for the siege of Xi'an, Zuo Liangyu was no longer in a hurry, he was sure enough to defeat the Zhang Luo coalition army, but he was short of men and horses at the moment, and he had to wait until his two thousand cavalry led by Shi Kefa arrived.

Zuo Liangyu had already secretly instructed Wu Guobao that once Huayin was taken, he would immediately rush to Xi'an City in the starry night, without the slightest delay.

As long as the 2,000 men and horses arrive, it will not be a problem for them to defeat Li Dingguo's more than 3,000 people, and take advantage of the victory to go straight to Xi'an, and the Zhang Luo coalition army will only have infantry left, which is not worth mentioning.

Zuo Liangyu was therefore full of confidence, and he asked his men to be half on guard, half to rest and eat, and he sat on the ground with a golden sword, chatting and laughing with his officers to show relaxation.

Li Dingguo was so angry that he gritted his teeth when he saw Zuo Liangyu behaving like this, but he didn't dare to suddenly step forward to attack, for fear of falling into Zuo Liangyu's strategy, fortunately, Zhang Xianzhong's order to him was to drag Zuo Liangyu, as long as Zuo Liangyu didn't go to Xi'an City, he didn't need to bother.

So he also ordered his cavalry to rest in turns.

This is good, the two sides are rolling down, and the opposite meal, there is a big comparison of the amount of food and wine.

Let's talk about Sun Chuanting, since he divided his troops with Zuo Liangyu, he urged the army to advance rapidly. Rushing to Xi'an City all the time. He knew that once the Zhang Luo coalition army and Zuo Liangyu handed over, with the shrewdness and cunning of Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, he would definitely see his intentions, and he would definitely divide his troops to besiege him at that time.

After months of training, it finally took effect.

During the training, Sun Chuanting ordered every soldier to run 30 miles every day with full armor, and the 100 people who fell behind should be whipped, so the soldiers were desperate and did not want to lag behind. Over the past few months, almost every soldier has become an expert in long-distance running, and no matter how tired he is, he will not be left behind.

From Luohuachuan to Xi'an City about forty miles, they made a detour, about fifty miles, these soldiers ran sweating profusely, panting, but none of them lagged behind, until they saw the city wall of Xi'an, they could still maintain their formation.

Five miles away from the city, Sun Chuanting ordered a short rest, and he and his daughter rode up the high slope to observe the situation under the city.

At this time, outside the east gate of Xi'an City, there is still the camp of the Zhangluo coalition army, a company camp, stretching for ten miles, it looks very spectacular, and I don't know how many people and horses there are inside.

Sun Mengdie was a little worried: "Father, there must be a lot of thieves left in the camp. Are we going to break in? ”

Sun Chuanting shook his hand and said, "Get off the horse, change the people's clothes, let's get closer and take a look." ”

Sun Mengdie is also a tiger girl, a gall, hearing her father's words, she rode a horse into the forest, changed her armor, put on the clothes of ordinary people, and pretended to be a man.

Getting closer, Sun Chuanting listened carefully while observing, there were some voices in the entire camp, but he didn't hear the neighing of horses, and when those voices came from afar, it seemed that there were not many people.

Sun Chuanting was very cautious, afraid that it was a trick to lure the army, but still continued to approach the camp gate, at this time, two peasant soldiers turned out from the camp gate, one with a spear in his hand, and shouted: "What people, stop, come forward again, and open the bow and arrow." Sun Chuanting stood still, hugged his fist forward, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, Xiaosheng is Zhang Dashuai's fellow villagers. ”

The two peasant soldiers looked at each other and laughed secretly. It turned out that since Zhang Xianzhong's rebellion, his prestige has become bigger and bigger, and the money in his hands has become more and more, so many people in his hometown have come to him to fight the autumn breeze and borrow a few money to spend. At the beginning, Zhang Xianzhong was quite polite, eating and drinking, giving money and things, but later there were more and more people, Zhang Xianzhong was annoyed, and the future people killed a few to stop this unhealthy trend.

Now that there are villagers coming to fight the autumn wind, they really don't know whether they are alive or dead, so the sergeant laughs.
