Chapter 285: Promotion

was taking Dong Zhuo's personal guard to protect Hu Zhen after the break, seeing Zhang Liao suddenly appear, rushed over to save Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, and successfully escaped with the horse, he couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart, and subconsciously stared at Zhang Liao's back on the horse, with a look of resentment in his eyes, and he didn't want to attack slowly, but he was inserted into his chest by a spear.

Hu Zhen's weapon landed on the ground, covered his chest, looked at the enemy with a gun in amazement, and his mouth moved: "Sun Wentai ......"

The spear was drawn, and a stream of blood gushed out, and Hu Zhen fell to the ground, his eyes wide open. He was born in the Liangzhou clan, followed Dong Zhuo to the east and west, and was a Zhonglang general, which can be described as illustrious for a while, but he didn't expect to die here, especially when he saw his enemy Zhang Liao fleeing, he was really unwilling to die.

Hu Zhen also became the first highest-ranking general under Dong Zhuo to die in battle.

It was Sun Jian, the general who assassinated Hu Zhen, Sun Jian's ancient ingot knife was cut down by Zhang Liao in Yishui that day, and after returning home, he changed his spear, and his combat power was not bad at all.

……

Zhang Liao ignored the group of Kwantung soldiers who were frantically chasing behind him, and galloped all the way into the Guangyang Gate in the southeast corner of the imperial city.

When he arrived in the city, Zhang Liao quickly abandoned the horse, slapped the horse's buttocks again, the war horse was in pain, and ran again, and he quickly hid in the West Palace, changed into Kanto clothes, and shouted "Kill Zhang Liao", and mixed into the Kwantung soldiers and horses again.

There are still fights everywhere in the palace, and the generals under Dong Zhuo's command, such as Duan Xuan, Dong Yue, Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Fan Chou, have also broken through here with the remnants of the army, and they have to fight and retreat, and they want to inquire about Dong Zhuo's situation.

Zhang Liao ignored them, hid as much as he could, and went all the way north.

He didn't care about the other generals under Dong Zhuo, but Zhonglang General Lu Bu was friends with him, but he couldn't help it. If he remembered correctly, Lu Bu seemed to be on the Middle East Gate Avenue between the North and South Palaces of Luoyang.

Sure enough, after walking for a short time, he saw Lu Bu who was being besieged near the overhead pavilion road between the north and south palaces.

At this time, Lu Bu's condition was very miserable, the armor on his body was blood-red, and the golden crown on his head was also dyed red.

The tigers are also afraid of wolves, not to mention that it was Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei who besieged Lu Bu, not to mention that there were hundreds of soldiers on the periphery.

Lu Bu rushed to kill several times, but he couldn't rush out, and was firmly restrained by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao shouted from afar: "Feng Xian! To the west! ”

When Lu Bu, who was in despair, heard this, he saw Zhang Liao from a distance, and he was ecstatic and his spirit was sharply lifted, and Fang Tian's halberd was instantly much sharper.

Liu Guanzhang, who was besieging LΓΌ Bu, heard Zhang Liao's shout and looked over almost at the same time, and those soldiers couldn't help but turn around and look this way.

Zhang Liao hooked the sickle horizontally, and roared again: "Zhang Liao is here!" ”

Rumble! The soldiers became excited, shouted and frantically slashed in this direction.

Zhang Liao grinned, damn, what kind of reward did the Kwantung princes give to make these soldiers so desperate!

As soon as these soldiers rushed over, the besieged Lu Bu immediately got an air, blocked Liu Guanzhang's attack, slapped the red rabbit horse, quickly broke through the siege, and came westward.

Although the red rabbit horse was injured, it was still fast, galloping, and in a blink of an eye, it surpassed the soldiers who turned back to kill Zhang Liao, when passing by Zhang Liao, Lu Bu stretched out his hand, Zhang Liao borrowed his strength, jumped on the red rabbit horse, and the two rode away together.

Although the red rabbit horse was injured, the majestic horse was no worse than the elephant dragon, and the speed of the two of them was not slow at all.

"Go to the West Gate!" Zhang Liao roared.

The soldiers and horses of Yuan Shao and other princes in the west of the imperial city suffered heavy losses in the desperate struggle with Dong Zhuo's personal guards, and they were temporarily unable to continue to attack Bi Guiyuan to the west, and most of them were led to the southeast by him, and the northwest should be empty at this time.

Lu Bu immediately lifted the reins and went straight to the west gate.

Sure enough, when the red rabbit horse rushed out of the upper west gate, there were almost no Kwantung soldiers outside the upper west gate, and the two couldn't help but be happy, and immediately galloped out, all the way to the west, and there was no longer any obstruction.

The red rabbit horse has been running for five or six miles, and the two of them flew off the horse, and Lu Bu ignored his own wounds and hurriedly went to investigate the red rabbit's injuries.

Zhang Liao threw him the healing medicine with his hand, Lu Bu nodded gratefully at Zhang Liao, the two of them belong to the same state, there is always a tacit understanding, there are some things that don't need to be said, just do it directly.

The two did not rush back to Bi Guiyuan until the evening, and went to see Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed to see Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, and then many generals and soldiers rushed back.

The Kwantung princes fought all day, and they were also greatly tired, and they were not familiar with the terrain that night, so they did not attack.

Dong Zhuo's rout was not collected until dawn, and Yang Ding, who made Zhang Liao stunned, actually fled back, although it was described as miserable, but it was much better than the dead Hu Zhen.

As soon as Yang Ding came back, he cried and told Zhang Liao, and was kicked to the ground by Dong Zhuo, and he didn't dare to say anything anymore.

In this battle, Dong Zhuo suffered extremely heavy losses, in addition to the remnants of Zhang Liao, Lu Bu and Hu Zhen who stayed in the rear to rest, the 50,000 troops who went out to fight, less than 30,000 returned, and most of them were injured, and the most elite flying bear cavalry lost more than half, which made Dong Zhuo so angry that he almost killed Li Dao and Guo Yan on the spot.

Dong Zhuo's losses were so great, and the losses of the soldiers and horses of the Kwantung princes were naturally not small, but after all, there were too many soldiers in the Kwantung region, and early the next morning, the princes moved the camp to between the imperial city and Zhang Fanggou, dug horse pits, drove wooden stakes, arranged large camp fortifications, and were ready to launch a second attack at any time.

The situation was urgent, Dong Zhuo could only take the risk of transferring some troops and horses from Hedong and Guanzhong again, and at the same time, he also transferred the baggage and grain and grass of Bi Guiyuan to Hangu Pass.

In the process of transferring, the newly reorganized soldiers under Zhang Liao also took the opportunity to change their equipment and weapons.

Over the next two days, there were several more battles between the two sides, and the scale was not large.

Dong Zhuo was grateful to Zhang Liao for his life-saving and loyalty, and at the suggestion of Li Ru, Zhang Liao was promoted to Zhonglang General, along with Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Lu Bu, Duan Xuan, and Xu Rong.

Seeing Dong Zhuo's great admiration for Zhang Liao's appearance, even the chief Shi Liu Ai did not dare to object, Zhang Liao became the youngest lieutenant general under Dong Zhuo's command, one head higher than Li Dao, Guo Yan and Yang Ding, which made them very angry, but they still belonged to the guilty body, and they did not dare to refute at all.

Zhang Liao did not forget his master, he bluntly said that it was his master Jia Xu who pointed out the direction in which Xiangguo was trapped, so that he could find rescue in time. Dong Zhuo was even more stingy with Jia Xu, a cronie of Liangzhou, and immediately promoted Jia Xu, the lieutenant of the school, to be the lieutenant general.

But in the next battle, the other generals fought well, as long as Zhang Liao came forward, the Kwantung soldiers must be violent, unstoppable, and won all battles, and even Li Dao Guo Yan's ambush could not be stopped.

Especially Yuan Shu, who was shot a few arrows by Zhang Liao, hated Zhang Liao to the core, and ordered Sun Jianqiang to attack, and almost rushed through Zhang Fanggou several times.

After Dong Zhuo learned about it, he was also a little helpless, and he never sent Zhang Liao to fight again. (To be continued.) )
