Zhao Xu's military camp was a good battle, and the second attack on the camp by Yang Ang and Zhang Ji was defeated, including the first attack on the camp of 800 people, 50,000 soldiers and horses were broken to more than 20,000 people, and more than 8,000 people were captured. The rest of the generals, except for a dozen or so generals, escaped, and the rest were either killed or captured; And Zhao Xu's subordinates won two big victories, because their soldiers were all elite, and they reacted quickly, although there were casualties, but the casualties were nine-tenths less than those of the Zhang Ji coalition army. However, more than 2,000 people were injured, and only more than 700 were killed in the battle.

When these results were reported to Luoyang, the Son of Heaven was shocked and amazed, and Liu Bei was also ecstatic.

However, at this time, in Zhao Xu's military camp, all the soldiers had a big victory, and they were all very happy, Zhang Fei and other generals were celebrating, but Zhao Xu was different, he was sitting in his camp tent at this time, thinking with a little sorrow.

"General, it's time to eat." At noon, Wang Yong didn't see Zhao Xu going to lunch, so he sent him over, and said puzzled when he came to Zhao Xu's camp.

Wang Yong was very puzzled, why was the general still depressed after winning the battle, should he be happy?

"Eat what you eat, you put it there first! I have important things to do. Zhao Xu stared at the self-made Tongguan sand table, thinking about the siege strategy, he was already very annoyed, but was interrupted by Wang Yong, annoyed and annoyed, and replied angrily.

"Then, no matter how important things are, you have to eat!" Where did Wang Yong know Zhao Xu's mood, just for Zhao Xu's good.

", is it important to fight a war or to eat, if you lose the war, where to eat?" Zhao Xu's train of thought was interrupted here, and he was troubled in his heart, although he knew that Wang Yong was doing it for his own good, but he was still not angry.

"Wang Yong, you go down first!" At this time, Dan saw Zhao Yun walk in, took the plate, and said.

Wang Yong saw Zhao Yun coming, and saw that Zhao Yun was the general's brother, thinking that he could persuade him to eat, but he didn't dare to say more, so he immediately responded, "Yes." And he withdrew.

"Big brother, we won a big victory yesterday, we should be happy! We have plenty of food and grass, and we have a wide range of soldiers, so we have nothing to worry about! What's wrong? Let's eat first! It's never too late to think about it when you're full. Zhao Yun thought about it, and really couldn't think of why he should be bothered now, so he put the food aside and said puzzledly.

"What words? Although we have a large number of troops and plenty of food and grass, our army won a great victory last night, and added 8,000 prisoners, but the enemy army is rising and falling, and there is no good countermeasure if we want to attack strongly, so we are troubled! Zhao Xu was impatient and said helplessly.

"One or the other? Big brother, do you mean the enemy's grain and grass? Zhao Yun's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked.

"Yes, it is the matter of grain and grass, although last night's battle, our army won a big victory, but the enemy army lost more than 20,000 military horses, so that their originally important grain and grass eased for a while, although their number is less than our tens of thousands, but Tongguan terrain is dangerous, enough to enemy 100,000 troops, if you want to attack, you will inevitably lose both. But we have added 8,000 mouths, and the burden of grain and grass has increased. The captives are also soldiers, and since I have surrendered, I do not want to kill them. Although these 8,000 grains and grass are not a big deal, but the enemy army was scared by us, and it was difficult to go out of the city to meet the battle, and after a long battle, we could not capture Tongguan, but our army lost a lot of grain, grass and spirit, alas......"

Zhao Yun didn't think of this for a while, and at this time, he couldn't help frowning, and said: "Indeed, as the eldest brother said, although the senior brother is favored by us, it is difficult to persuade his uncle Zhang Ji after all, and after a long confrontation, there may be some chaos!" Alas! If only we could fly through Tongguan and get in. ”

Zhao Xu suddenly moved when he heard this, stood up, and exclaimed, "Zilong, what did you just say?" Say it again! ”

"What?" Zhao Yun was taken aback by Zhao Xu's actions, and thought that he had said something wrong, which made Zhao Xu angry, and said a little timidly: "I said it would be good if I could fly into Tongguan." ”

"Haha! Zilong, you are such a genius, haha! Zhao Xu exclaimed happily.

"What do you mean, big brother?" Zhao Yun was confused and asked puzzled.

Zhao Xu smiled suddenly, grabbed his chopsticks, and said to Zhao Yun jokingly: "What's this...... Haha, the secret of heaven cannot be revealed! ”

"Big brother, you ......" I thought that Zhao Xu had thought of some clever plan, but I didn't expect to wait for such a sentence, and suddenly smiled a little bitterly, and said helplessly: "Alas! That's it, big brother, you just eat, alas......"

"Haha......"

At this moment, in Tongguan, the generals in the county government are arguing fiercely.

"Uncle, I think Zhao Xu is benevolent and righteous, and Liu Bei is also famous for benevolence and righteousness all over the world, so it's better to surrender! If you stick to it, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Zhang Xiu knelt on the ground and persuaded Zhang Ji bitterly.

"Bastard, how can the foundation I have worked so hard to build be easily handed over to others, how does this make the princes of the Son of Heaven think of me?" Zhang Ji shouted angrily.

"That's it! I heard that Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong are your fellow disciples of General Zhang, and when Zhao Yun was on the battlefield the day before yesterday, Zhao Yun intended to forgive him, and last night General Zhang, you fought against that Yan man Zhang Fei and almost lost his life, and it was also Zhao Yun who killed you once, could it be General Zhang, you ......" Yang Ang's tone was also very dissatisfied, and he shouted suspiciously.

"Yang Ang, what are you talking about! Are you saying that I am in collusion with the enemy? Zhang Xiu heard the words and stood up, pointing at Yang Ang and shouting angrily.

"Who colludes with the enemy knows it, General Zhang, you are strong in martial arts, how dare my villain frame General Zhang." Yang Ang said sarcastically.

Wu Hao couldn't stand it anymore, and knelt down and said, "General, in fact, I fought with General Zhang Fei and ...... later."

"Shut up! We don't allow you to interject when we speak. Yang Ang directly interrupted Wu Hao and scolded angrily.

"Yes......" Wu Hao has always been afraid of Yang Ang, and when he was drunk like this, he didn't dare to speak anymore and retreated.

"Yang Ang, you deceive people too much, do you really think I don't dare to kill you?" Where did Zhang Xiu receive such an insult, he broke out immediately, and stepped forward to arrest Yang Ang, Yang Ang was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"Zhang Xiu! I'm usually too used to you, isn't it! Where will you put me if you dare to be so rude before us? Zhang Ji took the case and shouted angrily.

"Yes! Uncle, but he ...... "Zhang Xiu has always been in awe of Zhang Ji, and when Zhang Ji drank it, he didn't dare to do it, but he was still unwilling and said.

"Shut up and stand down." Zhang Xiu shouted, and then bowed his hand to Yang Ang and said: "General Yang, the young general is not strict in discipline, General Wanwang forgives the guilt, if the general is dissatisfied, the young general will be punished immediately." ”

"No need, General Zhang is the pillar of Tongguan, how dare I blame it. Stand down! Yang Ang also secretly broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that if he continued to speak, he was afraid that his life would be difficult to protect, so he would accept it when he saw it, Zhang Ji gave the steps down, if he was not interesting, he would not be able to get into today's position.

Yang Ang listened to the order left and right, and immediately retreated, wiping a cold sweat, everyone knew that Zhang Xiu was strong in martial arts, and Zhang Ren, the first general of Liu Zhang's subordinates, was equally famous......

"Now that Zhao Xu's army is pressing, Tongguan is in danger, let's not have infighting." After Xu Jin was stabbed to death by Zhang Fei, his position was temporarily replaced by Yang Rong, Xu Jin's deputy general, under the recommendation of Zhang Ji and others. But there is a difference in status, Yang Rong didn't dare to really sit on an equal footing with Zhang Ji and Yang Ang, he usually couldn't speak, but at this time, when he saw that Zhang Xiu was going to do it, he was also startled, and persuaded tentatively.

"General Yang Rong is right, let's not have infighting! Calm down and deliberate. Zhang Ji shouted.

The generals calmed down, and Yang Ang spoke first: "Lord Zhang, the young general has been looking for a famous teacher since he was a child, and he has learned a lot of formations, so we might as well fight with that Zhao Xu in a fighting formation, thinking that if we win a decisive battle, if we can't defeat him, it's not too late to defend it." ”

"That's good! If General Yang has a wonderful formation, he will definitely be able to fight with that Zhao Xu, I have never heard of what formation Zhao Xu used in the war, I think he may not be able to break the general's formation. Zhang Ji said with a smile.

"Hahaha! Lord Zhang lifted me, although it was not as good as the Qimen Dunjia who stayed behind in the Han Dynasty in the past, but in the fight, the villain still asked himself that it was okay. Yang Ang was also happy when he heard Zhang Ji's praise, and replied with a smile.

"That's good! Do the generals have any other opinions? Zhang Ji asked.

All the generals have been killed, not to mention the fighting array proposed by Yang Ang, even if he is unwilling and does not dare to dissuade him, and there is no good way to do it except this fighting array, all the generals are silent.

"That's good! Since there is no opinion, then I will prepare on a certain day and fight with that Zhao Xu. ”

"Uncle, we still ......" Zhang Xiu hesitated again and again, but still wanted to persuade Zhang Ji to surrender.

"Shut up! I want to surrender unless you cut off my head to surrender that Zhao Xu. Zhang Ji was defeated twice, so naturally he didn't have a good temper, although he loved Zhang Xiu, but at this time he unceremoniously interrupted Zhang Xiu's words.

Zhang Xiu saw that Zhang Ji was angry, and he didn't dare to say more, so he retreated.

Zhang Ji: "Smack! A fist smashed into several cases, his eyes stared ahead, and he said viciously: "Zhao Xu, you took my city, you deceived people too much, how can I tolerate you, hum ......"

"But Lord Zhang, if you want to fight the formation, it will take a lot of time, and you have to make an agreement with that Zhao Xu to set the time to fight the formation, if all my formations are broken, then I have to accept my fate, but if Zhao Xu can't break it, I have to let him retreat" Yang Ang added.

Zhang Ji was also stunned when he heard this, listening to the meaning of Yang Ang's words, if Zhao Xu really broke all his formations, wouldn't he want to go out of the city and surrender, Zhang Ji was suddenly entangled, this Guanzhong realm was fortunate to have worked hard to get it, if you want to say that you just give up, no one can be reluctant to change it. Zhang Ji hesitated for a moment.

Yang Ang saw Zhang Ji's hesitation, and also knew that Zhang Ji was unwilling to make such a huge bet, so he persuaded: "Lord Zhang, now we have no other way but to fight the battle formation, but this battle formation must be set for a time, it will take a long time, and it will cost you life and money, Lord Zhang, what do you think?" ”

"This ......" Zhang Ji still didn't dare to use this Tongguan as a bet, he was extremely entangled, and after a long time, he said slowly: "It's okay!" Success or failure in this move, just bet on this, General Yang, all the troops in Tongguan will listen to General Yang from today onwards, please General Yang must practice the formation carefully. ”

"Don't worry, Master Zhang, I will work hard and will definitely do everything I can in my life." Yang Ang knew that he was shouldering a heavy responsibility, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he said respectfully.
