Wuwei County, Guzang County.

Guzang County is the governance of Wuwei, it is the core of Liangzhou, therefore, it is extremely tall and strong to build, and it is also the most prosperous and largest county seat in Liangzhou, and now, the entire Liangyong area is under martial law, the gate of the county is closed, there are no pedestrians in the official road of Liangzhou, there are no cattle and sheep on the grassland, even the Qiang people are also early to migrate to the west and the south, and the people are hiding in the county seat in panic.

And Guzang County, the tallest, is naturally the first choice for the most people.

The most elite soldiers in Liangzhou, the infantry battalion of the Northern Army left by Zhang Huan, is stationed here, there are more than 4,000 people, plus the accompanying Liangzhou county soldiers, the border soldiers, there are nearly 7,000 soldiers here, enough to guard this county, at the same time, if the enemy detours and rushes to other counties, the military strength in Guzang County can also play the role of outflanking the rear, the terrain of this place is precipitous, and it is definitely a military important place!

Since Zhang Huan led the cavalry away, the soldiers here seem to have lost their backbone, no support, panic, standing on the city wall all day long, watching the army's morale is getting lower and lower, and the people are even more chaotic, the great Confucian Zheng Xuan stood up, he walked around among the people to talk, and at night in the barracks to inspire the soldiers, this Confucian's eloquence is still quite good, with his efforts, the soldiers and the people have stabilized.

At the same time, Zheng Xuan also became the leader of the county's soldiers and people's henchmen, Wuwei Taishou saw that Zheng Xuan had such an appeal, so he directly handed over the power to him, fortunately Zheng Xuan was here, if another Confucian was here, he was afraid to roll up his sleeves and lead the infantry battalion to find the Xianbei army, Zheng Xuan was not proficient in military affairs, but he had read a lot of books, and he did a good job in management.

After a while, there was no news from the Northlands.

On this day, early in the morning, the soldiers were on guard on the wall of Guzang County, suddenly, there was a loud sound of horses' hooves in the distance, gradually approaching, the soldiers who were originally very vigilant and cautious, immediately noticed this abnormality, and immediately sounded a warning, the whole county was in a panic, and the people who were still on the streets of the county quickly hid in the house, and the northern soldiers rushed out of the barracks, arrived at the city wall, ready to fight.

Zheng Xuan, who was originally in the barracks, immediately followed these northern soldiers to the city wall after hearing the piercing sound of gold, and Wuwei Taishou also hurriedly summoned the county soldiers, and the soldiers from the border were summoned, when everyone rushed to the city wall, the people and horses in the distance arrived slowly, and when he saw the other party, Zheng Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, because he recognized this man and horse, the leader, was the Qiang people Cheri.

He won Zhang Huan's trust, and the rest of the entourage knights were Qiang warriors, who were recruited by Zhang Huan at the beginning.

Cheriqi looked at the city wall a little sadly, his mouth opened, but he didn't speak, he sighed: "Zheng Jun! Let me wait into the city! I have important military information to inform!! Zheng Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then said to the military Sima beside him: "Open the city gate!" Wu Wei Taishou on the side said with some uneasiness: "At this time, shouldn't you be careful, after all, it's some alien race?"

Zheng Xuan glanced at him with some displeasure and said, "I still believe in Zhang Gong's vision." ”

"Zhang Gong trusts him very much and loves him very much, and I am willing to trust him! Open the gates! ”

Wu Wei was too guarded and did not agree, so the northern sergeant went down to open the city gate, Cheri retreated and more than 2,000 Qiang people slowly entered the city, their expressions seemed to be a little low, and some of them also had some small injuries, it seemed that after the battle, Cheri retreated in, Zheng Xuan hurriedly walked down, held his hand, and said: "How is the war?" How happened to Zhang Gong? ”

Cherry looked at the surrounding Northern Army soldiers, and said in a low voice: "Zhang Gong is dead"

Everyone was in an uproar, the soldiers of the Northern Army looked at them in disbelief, and Zheng Xuan's eyes were dark, and he almost fell to the ground, the soldiers around him supported him, he slowed down, his eyes widened, and asked: "How is it possible, Zhang Gong is such a brave person, how is it possible", Cheriqi suddenly cried and said: "Zhang Gong lied to me and asked me to go to the tribe to help the clansmen, I went to know that it was the tribe that was going to migrate, I was helpless, after escorting the clansmen out of Liangzhou, I rushed back with my compatriots, who knows, the military camp has long been empty"

"We don't know where Zhang Gong went, so we went around looking for it, now all the Xianbei people inside and outside Beidi County are plundering everywhere, they are hundreds of people for a group, all evil, whether it is the Han people, the Qiang people, the Huns, they are all dead, we killed several Xianbei people, from their mouths we learned that Zhang Gong was besieged with Beidi County, was defeated by the Xianbei army, and the head of the owl"

As he spoke, Cherry was already in tears, and the Northern Sergeant roared angrily: "Hugh is going to bluff me! Zhang Gong has no defeat in his life! It must be that you are afraid in your heart, you have become a dead army, and you are here to rumor!! ”

Cherry did not explain, but the northern army instantly made an uproar, and the hearts of the army were shaken, and they cursed angrily at these Qiang people, and they almost drew their swords against each other.

"Hahaha" Suddenly, a laugh came.

Whether it was the Qiang people or the Han army, they all turned their heads angrily in an instant, staring at him viciously, this is a young farmer, his face is dark, his clothes are in tatters, he was brought over by the Qiang people, he was tightly bound on horseback, hearing his laughter, several northern soldiers were going to go directly to beat him, this person stopped laughing, and shouted with some sadness: "Zhang Gong is a hero, but he is a dog slaughterer!" ”

"In order to save you from the scourge of killing, he killed tens of thousands of enemies with less than 2,000 men and horses, beheaded the heads of the leaders in the west and central of Xianbei, and died in battle.

After this person finished speaking, the northern sergeant stopped and cried, and everyone also cried, and the whole county was a miserable cry, this person looked around, tightly locked his brows, and didn't know what he was thinking, Zheng Xuan pointed to this person, and asked Cherry: "Who is this?" Cheriqi said with some disdain: "What I saw on the road was either a fugitive or a Xianbei spy!" At this moment, the entire Liangzhou is forbidden for people to go out, and those who can meet on the road naturally have ghosts in their hearts.

When this person heard this, his expression was a little excited, and he roared tragically: "I'm not a gap!" I am the grandson of Zhang Gong! This trip is to find Xianbei Dog and avenge the adults in the clan!! Hearing his roar, everyone was shocked, Zheng Xuan was even more stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Are you the grandson of Gong Zhang?" Why haven't I heard of it before? The man said, "Exactly! My surname is Zhang Mingxu, and Zhang Gong also took a word for me, called Youzhen, but the family is not high, and the times are farming, so outsiders don't know! ”

Seeing that this person spoke freely and his expression did not seem to be fake, Zheng Xuanfang hurriedly asked him to untie him, this person walked out of the restraints, loosened his body, took out a handful of short soldiers from his arms, and said: "In this life, you should kill ten Xianbei, thinking that it is a sacrifice for adults!" Then he took the short soldier and wiped it towards the palm of his hand, making blood stains, and then he looked at Cheri, and said solemnly: "Warrior, maybe lend me a horse and a long knife?" ”

Cherry also admired this person's performance just now, and said, "You can take it yourself!" ”

This person just led a horse, held a long knife, saluted the people around him, and said: "Although I am a farmer, I have the intention of avenging my elders, I hope you will not stop me!" With that, he was about to go out.

"Hey, Youzhen, your family definitely doesn't want you to die in vain, it's better to stay, here, you can kill more Xianbei people!" Zheng Xuan grabbed the placket of his clothes and said sincerely.

Zhang Xu's expression was stunned, but he smiled bitterly in his heart.

It's over, I can't run away.
