Fan Chou listened to this person's fluent Liangzhou dialect, and did not have any suspicions, after unraveling the letter, he immediately opened it and watched it quickly, the more Fan Chou looked at it, the more frightened he became, and after reading it, he gave the letter to Zhang Ji on the side. After Zhang Ji saw it, his face was also extremely ugly.

"This is the handwriting of the military advisor. It seems that Chang'an is really not optimistic about the war situation. General Fan, without further ado, we will immediately withdraw the army and rush back to Chang'an to rescue, but I am afraid that Chang'an will be lost! ”

"What General Zhang said is very true, so you and I immediately notify all the troops under our command to get ready, and evacuate quickly while it is dark tonight!"

Fan Chou and Zhang Ji bowed their heads at the same time, and after the agreement, Zhang Ji hurriedly left Fan Chou's camp and went back to order the soldiers to prepare for the retreat. And the sergeant on Fan Chou's side, under Fan Choudi's command, was also nervously preparing.

It's night, just after a watch. Fan Chou and Zhang Ji each led their troops to withdraw from the camp and rushed in the direction of Chang'an. Two hours later, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji led their troops into a valley.

At this moment, suddenly the sound of gold burst out again and again, and the shouts of killing were loud. On both sides of the valley, a group of soldiers and horses of the Lu army emerged, all holding bows and crossbows, and fired arrows at the two armies of Fan Chou and Zhang Ji in the valley road. The arrows poured down, falling like a torrential rain, and for a while, the sergeants of Fan Chou and Zhang Ji could not react, and thousands of sergeants were killed by arrows.

After several rounds of arrows, a loud rumbling sound sounded on both sides of the valley road. A general of Zhang Jijun looked up, saw countless boulders and rolling logs falling in the sky, and immediately frightened his soul to fly, and before he could shout, a boulder just fell on top of his head, smashing him into meat sauce, after the boulder fell, it was shattered into countless gravel, splashing everywhere, I don't know how many small soldiers were hit by flying stones, and they fell wildly. And the logs fell one by one, and the broken wood missiles were also beaten by the soldiers of Fan Chou and Zhang Ji.

"Ambush!! There is an ambush!! Hurry up and rush forward!! ”

Zhang Ji couldn't be frightened, roared with all his might, and led a group of soldiers and horses in front of him to brave the rain of flying stones and arrows, and galloped wildly. As for Fan Chou, who was in the rear army, he roared again and again, ordering the surrounding soldiers to keep the line, not to panic and push, and accidentally injure his own army. It's just that these soldiers are under the threat of death, who will care about him, you push me and keep rushing forward.

Just when the armies of Fan Chou and Zhang Ji were in chaos, Lu Bu led Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian, and Song Xian to lead a group of men and horses to suddenly appear in the rear of Gu Dao.

Lu Bu waved the Fang Tian painting halberd, drove the red rabbit and the BMW moved, and the whole thing was like a red thunderbolt, killing at the rear of Fan Chou and Zhang Ji's armies. As soon as Lu Bu rushed into the crowd, under the leap of Fang Tian's painting halberd, there were bursts of crazy blood rain. When the Liangzhou soldiers in the rear saw the coming general, the courage that was about to break was all shattered at this time.

"Lu Bu!! Lu Bu is here!!! ”

These Liangzhou soldiers shouted as if it were the name of the king of Yama, with endless fear. Lu Bu's face was cold, and the more he killed, the more crazy he became, rushing left and right in the crowd, as if he was in a no-man's land, killing people as if he was cutting rice, killing the soldiers of Liangzhou one by one. At the same time, Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian, Song Xian and other generals were also killed, and the three of them were also terrifying, and the direction of the killing would definitely be a one-sided slaughter.

When Fan Chou and Zhang Ji heard Lu Bu's name, their hearts trembled, and they couldn't care about it any more, so they hurriedly fled forward. Zhang Ji was in the front army and fled the fastest. And Fan Chou was in the rear army, and fled halfway, when he suddenly dared to be cold behind him, and immediately jumped to the side.

And at the moment when he jumped away, Fang Tian's halberd was just stabbed at the location where he was just now. Fan Chou rolled around a few times, his helmet flew away, and he looked at Lu Bu who was riding a red rabbit horse, and his face was only terrified and frightened at this time.

Lu Bu looked at him coldly, making Fan Chou feel that his body was covered with hail, from his head to the soles of his feet. This imminence of death is the most torturous. Fan Chou couldn't bear it anymore, screamed strangely, pulled his legs and ran, and at the same time tried his best to ask the surrounding soldiers to block Lu Bu.

However, it seems that Lu Bu had no intention of killing him, and shouted on the horse.

"Fan Chou!! In the old days, you treated me like a brother, and this time I will spare your life and repay your kindness. If you say goodbye, you will never die. Hello for yourself!! ”

Fan Chou is running wildly, saving his life is important, how can he have the heart to respond. Lu Bu smiled inexplicably at Fan Chou's figure, and then rode back into the crowd of the Liangzhou rebels.

Lü Bu's army was killed until dawn, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji's two armies fled most of the soldiers and horses, and the remaining 20,000 soldiers died more than 10,000 people, and those who survived were killed by Lü Bu's army. Although these Liangzhou soldiers hated Lu Bu to the core, under the threat of their lives, many people still chose to surrender, and 3,000 people still insisted on fighting to the death with Lu Bu's army, but this was just a dying struggle, and they were all killed by Lu Bu's army in the end. Lü Bu collected 7,000 remnants of the army, and after leaving a group to clean up the battlefield, he led the army back.

A few days later, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji led the remnants of the army back to Chang'an, when Fan Chou and Zhang Ji hurriedly ran to Li Xu, Guo Yan, and Li Ru, and asked about the battle situation, they heard that Chang'an was fine, and it was only half a month later that the Xiliang army would run out of food and withdraw on its own. Zhang Ji and Fan Chou realized the plan, and they were so angry that they took several steps back on the spot, shook their bodies a few times, and almost fell to the ground.

"The two generals Zhang and Fan, aren't you and the others besieging Shangluo, why did they suddenly lead the army back to Chang'an. Could it be that what happened to Shangluo? ”

As soon as Li Ru saw the faces of these two people, he knew that nothing good had happened, and he unconsciously tightened his face a little and asked Fan Chou and Zhang Ji.

Fan Chou remembered that he almost died last night, and he worked hard to lead the army back to rescue, but it was a pretense, so he was so angry that he vomited out a mouthful of blood, and then fainted. Seeing this, a few people next to him hurriedly entered the palace and called the imperial doctor for treatment.

After settling down Fan Chou, Li urged everyone to come to an attic, and after everyone sat down, Li Ru asked Zhang Ji again. Zhang Ji's face was extremely ugly, and he immediately started with the fake secret letter, and continued to talk about the ambush in the valley, and he and Fan Chou lost nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses.

"20,000 soldiers and horses !!"

Li Ji's eyes opened wide, and his whole body seemed to be steaming with monstrous anger, Zhang Ji saw this, and hurriedly knelt down to confess. At this time, Li Xuan's army was only 200,000, and once these 20,000 soldiers and horses were lost, one-tenth of them were gone! Li Xuan gritted his teeth, his eyes were terrifying, and his snort was heavy. But he has not lost his mind, at this time there are foreign enemies outside Chang'an City, Lu Bu is eyeing Chang'an in Shangluo, if Zhang Ji and Fan Chou are severely punished at this time, it is easy to change.

And Li Ru, as a military advisor, also understood this, and hurriedly came out to intercede for Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, so as to give Li Yu a step down. Later, Li urged to suppress his anger and only made some insignificant light punishments to Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, and then he gave up.

"However, this fake secret letter reminded me. Ma Teng and Han Sui are both tigers and wolves who value fame and fortune, and this time they raise troops to attack Chang'an, there must be people in Chang'an who secretly collude with them. Confucianism believes that this matter must be carefully investigated. If this person is found out, the Xiliang army is exhausted at this time, and it will definitely withdraw immediately. In this way, we will be able to concentrate our forces and fight to the death against that ungrateful thug of Lü Bu! ”

After Zhang Ji and Fan Chou's punishment was settled, Li Ru thought for a while, and then suddenly opened his mouth and said. Li Xun's face changed when he heard this, and he was surprised.

"If it weren't for the reminder from the military advisor, I wouldn't have noticed. In this case, I immediately sent someone to investigate the matter! ”

After that, Li Xun spread his eyeliner to pay attention to the every move of the hundreds of officials in the court, and at the same time bribed the servants of the ministers' families, asking the head of the family if he had contact with those people in the past few months. A few days later, it was intercepted. Li Xun learned from Ma Yu's servant that the head of his family was with Liu Fan and Chong Shao, and even Ma Teng and Han Sui, and wanted to be in love with each other.

Li Dao and Guo Yan were furious, and they all collected the three good and young people in the city, and put the three heads in front of the door to order. Ma Teng and Han Sui saw the heads of the three outside the city, and thought that the military rations were exhausted, and the internal should be leaked again, so they had to pull out the village and retreat. Li Dao and Guo Yan ordered Xu Rong to lead the army to drive Ma Teng, Zhang Ji to lead the army to drive Han Sui, the Xiliang army was exhausted and demoralized, how could it be the opponent of the Liangzhou army, all the troops were defeated and fled.

said that Xu Rong was leading the army to chase Ma Teng, and shouted again and again in the back.

"Ma Shoucheng, in the past, Dong Gong treated you very well, but you were ungrateful and rebelled against him! Heavenly Cycle, today is the day of your retribution! Come on!! ”

Seeing that Xu Rong's army was about to approach, Ma Teng's face suddenly turned pale, and he shouted left and right.

"The rebel is fierce! Who dares to lead the army to break the queen! ”

Ma Teng didn't stop talking, only to see a young general, his face like a crown of jade, eyes like a meteor, a tiger body and ape arms, a wolf waist, a spear in his hand, a horse on his horse, and a horse flew out of the formation. It turned out that the general was Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng, the word Meng Qi, seventeen years old, was a young hero, brave and invincible, and seventeen years old was an invincible opponent in the Xiliang area.

Xu Rong saw that Ma Chao was born heroic and majestic, and he did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and was about to go out to meet him. How do you know that Xu Rong is beside him, bullying Ma Chao and young, and shouted.

"General Xu, kill chickens with a knife. Yellow-haired boy, see me stab him to death with one shot! ”

After the Liangzhou general finished speaking, he jumped on his horse to meet the battle. Ma Chao's face was cold and arrogant, he stabbed with a gun, and before he could fight, Xu Rong didn't even come back to his senses, and saw that he would be stabbed under the horse by Ma Chao. Ma Chao killed a general, and his power was even stronger, so he continued to kill. Another Liangzhou general saw that his fellow brother was stabbed to death, and as soon as he rode a horse, he killed Ma Chao. Ma Chao's face did not change, he rode his horse and went straight, the two were already close, and the Liangzhou general had raised his big knife and cut it down, at this moment Ma Chao's body flashed, and the Liangzhou general only cut into the air, and the two horses were combined, and Ma Chao lightly Shu Ape Arm, and he was captured alive.

Ma Chao pinched this neck with one hand, crushed his bones, threw it hard, and threw his body in front of Xu Rongma. Xu Ronghei's face was calm, and the Liangzhou soldiers behind him were all born when they saw Ma Chao so brave. As for the Xiliang soldiers behind Ma Chao, their morale increased greatly, and they raised their guns and shouted.

Xu Rong's eyes narrowed, and he didn't allow Ma Chao to be presumptuous, so he rode out of the battle and killed Ma Chao in one place. The two guns collided quickly, and the shadows of the guns collided violently, and it was more than a dozen rounds in an instant. Ma Chaoyue is more and more courageous, on the contrary, Xu Rong is more and more frightened, only a dozen rounds, his hand holding the gun is unconscious, and secretly said that this major general is born with great strength, and he will be defeated after a long battle.

Xu Rong is calm and cautious by nature, knows that he is invincible, and will never touch hard, and after a false stab, he wants to escape back into the formation as soon as he reins in his horse. Ma Chao knew that Xu Rong intended to escape, so the ape arm moved violently, grabbed Xu Rong's cloak with one hand, and suddenly pulled him off the horse. Xu Rong fell off the horse and rolled around a few times, covered in dust, and was very embarrassed.
