Seeing that the soldiers and horses of the self-army were about to be unable to resist, Zhang Ji immediately made a decision and hurriedly ordered the rear army to withdraw, wanting to retreat into the village. Zhang Ji's order, the soldiers in the rear immediately fled in a panic, and the soldiers in front of him who suppressed the fear of fighting saw this, and they also had no will to fight, so they hurriedly fled. Seeing this, Ma Zongheng saw that it was the right time, and immediately led his troops to attack and pounce. Hu Zhen couldn't escape, and was knocked over by Hu Che'er, who was catching up, and several soldiers caught up and quickly captured him. In addition, Ma Zongheng and Pang De led troops to the cottage one after another. Zhang Ji led the remnants of the soldiers back to the camp in a hurry, and saw that the momentum of the Ma Zongheng army was like a rainbow, and knew that the camp was difficult to protect, so he ordered the soldiers to burn the camp, and protected the seriously injured Zhang Xiuwang to escape on another mountain road to the north.

However, he said that when Ma Zongheng led his troops to the cottage, it was already dusk, but he saw that the fire in the camp was soaring, and the tents and baggage were covered by flames.

"Hmph, I was escaped by this uncle and nephew of the Zhang family!" Ma Zongheng's face was cold, but he was also quite jealous of Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncles and nephews. Because it is this embroidery, although it is young now, it is not a thing in the pool. In history, he was the warlord who defeated the giant Cao Cao. According to ancient history, it has been described that Cao Cao in his twilight years said that there were two most painful defeats in his life. One of them was the Battle of Chibi, which wiped out his million-strong army overnight. The second is the battle of Wancheng, in which he not only lost his life's favorite fierce general Dian Wei, but also his eldest son Cao Ang and his nephew Cao Anmin.

And the one who led the battle of Wancheng was -- Zhang Xiu!

However, it was said that just when Ma Zongheng repeatedly broke through the armies of Hu Zhen and Zhang Ji, He Jin happened to get a secret letter from Wei Fei and learned that his army was not well supplied, so he couldn't help but be furious, and urgently summoned He Miao, who was in the rear army, to rush over and scold. Although He Miao was submissive on the surface, he secretly thought that Ma Zongheng would inevitably fail miserably this time, and even would die with a whimper, and he secretly felt sè in his heart.

At this moment, there was a meteor Malay report, saying that two days ago, Hu Zhen and Yang Ding of the Western Liang Army led reinforcements to arrive, but they were used by the vanguard general Ma Xi to use a clever plan, and the surprise attack was successful, not only broke Hu's camp, but also grabbed the baggage of his army, and his deputy general Pang De killed Yang Ding, annihilated 1,000 enemies and captured hundreds of prisoners.

When He Jin heard this, he was stunned for a while, and then reacted, his heart was full of joy, and he laughed indulgently: "Hahahahaha~~!! Good! Good!! Good!!! Zongheng lives up to my high expectations~~!! ”

Just when He Jin was ecstatic, He Miao's heart was like an uproar, his face first showed a panicked look, listened to He Jin's laughter, reacted suddenly, and realized that this was the truth, his face was as cold as frost, he lowered his head and gritted his teeth and hated and said: "What kind of magic is this vest kid doing!" He was turned into good fortune by him again, and now I can't get rid of him, so won't I be a villain!? ”

"Brother Miao~!" Just as He Miao was thinking, He Jin's voice suddenly sounded in the high hall with a little chill.

"Big brother, little brother is here!" He Miao's heart trembled, his face changed heavily, and he raised his head and answered.

"This child of the Ma family is unruly and indulgent by nature, so he made a lot of enemies in Luoyang. As a brother, I also know that you have had an unhappy relationship with him. But this person not only has the courage of ghosts and gods, but also has excellent strategies, and it is precisely because he has made too many enemies and has nowhere to devote himself that he can be used by my family! Now is the time for me to make a name for myself and create a great cause. I hope you will be patient, and when you become the king of your brother, I will not treat you as a brother! He Jin said unhurriedly, and said slowly, with a hint of meaning in his voice.

When He Miao heard this, he seemed to wake up a little, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, eldest brother, younger brother knows what to do." There will be no next time for this incident! ”

"Good! This is the time for us to march in a big way, and pass on my order that the whole army will accelerate its march tomorrow and must arrive at Jiguan as soon as possible. Also, I read what the letter said, that Yuan Benchu had not yet led his troops to arrive, and at such a critical time, he dared to snub me, and really thought that I was so good at bullying!? You will hold my letter later, and report it quickly, and say that he has not been able to rush to help within three days, and teach him to come to see him!! He Jin shouted coldly, and when he said the back, there was a bit more murderous intent in his tone. He Miao's heart was tight, and he was busy receiving orders.

On the other hand, it was said that the 10,000 army led by Yuan Shao was not far behind Ma Zongheng's army, but Yuan Shao still marched slowly when he got Ma Zongheng's letter earlier, and even shirked the soldiers sent by Ma Zongheng to borrow grain. Ma Zongheng's soldiers knew that Yuan Shao had no intention of borrowing grain, and left angrily soon after.

This night, the scout reported to Yuan Shao, Ma Zongheng broke Zhang Ji a few days ago, killed countless enemies, and captured the enemy general Hu Zhen. When Yuan Shao heard this, he was shocked and angry, so he shouted and quit.

Xu You saw that Yuan Shao's face was extremely ugly, knowing that Yuan Shao had always regarded Ma Zongheng as a thorn in his side because of Guo Jia's affairs, and now he heard that he had repeatedly broken through the enemy army and made great achievements, he was jealous in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "The lord doesn't have to be angry." That Ma family child does have some skills, it is inevitable to offend the He butcher, I still have to get up early, and it is good to meet with that Ma family child. ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, his face was cold, and he had no scruples about Xu You, and said coldly: "This Ma family child is not dead, it is really difficult to make me happy!" ”

Yuan Shao has always been jealous, has a good face, and has no room for sand in his eyes. Guo Jia's abandonment of his departure made him the laughing stock of the entire Luoyang, but Yuan Shao always thought that this was Ma Zongheng making trouble in secret, so he naturally wanted to break his body into pieces!

"Hmph, it's just a fluke. Why should the lord bother with it, with the power behind the lord, it is not easy for him to get rid of him in the future? Xu You's eyes narrowed, but in his heart he felt that Yuan Shao was narrow-minded, and said leisurely.

When Yuan Shao heard this, he took a deep breath of air, and said: "What you say is reasonable, now you can't help offending the butcher of Na He, or don't worry about the Ma family." Tonight, I will teach the generals to hurry up. ”

"The lord is wise." Xu Yu arched his hand and said solemnly.

Two days later, it was said that Ma Zonghenggang had reorganized the soldiers, and allocated the captured prisoners and Hu Zhen and other generals to the rear army and handed them over to He Jin for disposal. Yuan Shao also led troops to arrive, and the two armies would be united, and Ma Zongheng personally greeted him. Yuan Shao saw Ma Zongheng but seemed to have forgotten about the deliberate delay and refusal, and when he saw Ma Zongheng, he praised it repeatedly. Ma Zongheng knew that he was hypocritical and didn't want to deal with him, but Pang De, Hu Che'er and other generals didn't have any good looks for him. When he was young, Ma Zongheng invited Yuan Shao into the account. Yuan Shao and Xu You had already made a decision earlier, wanting to march into the Kei Pass as much as possible, so as not to send troops and horses to intercept the Xiliang army again. Ma Zongheng listened to the reason, so he agreed. Because it is not far from Keiguan, according to the ordinary marching process, it will only take two days. Then Yuan Shao and Ma Zongheng also learned that He Jin had accelerated his march and wanted to catch up soon.

So, Yuan Shao ordered Ma Zongheng to lead the troops to set off on the same day, and Ma Zongheng led the order.

At the same time, within Keiguan. Dong Zhuo also happened to learn that Zhang Ji and Hu Zhenjun had been broken one after another, and he was furious. All the generals were too timid to speak. When Li Ru heard the report, he also felt incredible, hurriedly walked out, knelt down and confessed: "The lord is angry, and his subordinates never expected that this Ma family's little child's strategy would be so profound. Otherwise, Zhang Ji should have been ordered to withdraw his troops as soon as possible to avoid innocent injuries. As a staff officer in the army, his subordinates have an unshirkable responsibility and are willing to be punished! ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, his face sank, his anger faded slightly, and his expression immediately became solemn, and he really punished the extremely favored Li Ru, deducted his half a year's salary, and his official position was reduced to the third order. Dong Zhuo has always had clear rewards and punishments, so he was respected by his subordinates. Li Ruzi, who asked for punishment on his own, was also convinced, and stood up as Dong Zhuo shouted.

"According to your original plan, you were going to ambush this vanguard of He Suigao, so that it would be in great confusion and anxious to march. Again, when the annexed state army heard that the reinforcements had been frustrated and their morale had been frustrated, they would take the opportunity to attack again. Later, when the two defeated armies were combined, they divided themselves with blood letters, and took the opportunity to swallow the strength of their troops to determine the overall situation. Although your plan is wonderful, you were made a big mess by the two of Na Ma Xiao'er and Lu Fengxian. By now, all of your previous layouts are out of order. What now? Dong Zhuo's face was majestic, and he said in a deep voice. Li Ru's eyes narrowed slightly, his hand held his chin beard, and he couldn't help but start groaning.

Although Li Ru is extremely intelligent, after all, this is a big battle related to the trend of the world, so it is no wonder that he naturally does not dare to design rashly, and he can't come up with a plan at once.

At this moment, Li Su suddenly walked out and reported: "Lord, Su has a plan, which may solve the urgent need of the lord." ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help but look overjoyed, and said hurriedly: "Zhiping say it quickly!" ”

"It's not a secret, Su is from Wuyuan, and this Lu Fengxian is a fellow villager. When this person was young, he was outstanding in force, famous in the township, and extremely arrogant, often compared with Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu!! From this, it can be seen that this person is not a person who is willing to be subordinate. The lord's prestige is famous all over the world, and it is by no means comparable to Ding Jianyang's husband. But if the lord is willing to promise to be glorious and wealthy with him, and he is a high-ranking official, this person will be willing to vote!! As soon as Li Su said this, the two soldiers couldn't help but change color. Some people thought that they might be in the same league with that evil spirit in the future, and they felt a chill in their hearts.

At this time, Li Meng, the subordinate general of Dong Zhuo, stepped out, frowned and said: "But I heard that Lu Fengxian is the righteous son of Ding Jianyang, how can he vote lightly!?" ”

When Li Su heard this, his face turned cold, but he sneered: "The jackal knows the desire of the tiger!" Dare to vouch for his life, for the sake of status and fame, Lu Fengxian will be willing to vote!! ”

"If it is as General Li said, even if this person comes to vote, it is not sincere, and what if he does the opposite in the future!?" Wang Fang, who had always been good friends with Li Meng, was quite angry when he heard this, and asked in a hurry.

When Li Su heard this, his eyes showed a bit of viciousness, and he said leisurely: "According to what the two generals said, wouldn't it be said that the lord can't subdue Lu Fengxian's fierce tiger!?" Besides, I have been prepared for a long time, but if this Lu Feng dares to rebel first, he will design to kill him! ”

Wang Fang was obedient, his face changed, and he was about to refute. At this time, Dong Zhuo's eyes were full of horror, and he waved his hand and shouted: "Enough!" Let's listen to Zhiping first. If this Lu Feng is willing to vote first, what will happen afterwards? ”

Li Su smiled, first bowed his hand to Dong Zhuo, and then said unhurriedly: "When the time comes, the lord can teach him to be the internal response, and when He Suigao's army comes, he will find an opportunity to show Ding Jianyang the blood book and persuade him to join forces with the lord to break it." As soon as He Suigao died, we taught Lu Fengxian to kill his father and kill people, so I said that Ding Jianyang and He Suigao had an affair a long time ago, and because his deeds were exposed, he was eager to kill him and came to vote for the lord. In this way, the lord can take the opportunity to take all the troops of He Suigao and Ding Jianyang as his own, dominate the Central Plains, and become one person under ten thousand people, just around the corner!! ”

Li Su's voice was neither light nor heavy, but it had a great impact. In an instant, everyone present had a big change in their faces. It turned out that after Li Su found out about Lu Bu, he had already secretly designed it, and knew that Dong Zhuosu valued Li Ru, so he didn't offer it at first, and he had been waiting for this great opportunity to surprise the four people, proving that his intelligence was not damaged by Li Ru at all.

"Hahahaha~~!! Good plan, good plan~~!! If this big plan can be achieved, Zhiping should remember the first credit!! Sure enough, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard the plan, laughed loudly, and praised Li Sulian.

Li Ru was also secretly surprised, bowed to Li Su, and said with a little admiration: "Ambition is high-minded, Confucianism is not as good." ”

Li Ru said, and the surrounding civil officials and military generals also came to praise. Although Li Su was modest on the surface, he was secretly overjoyed, secretly thinking that this was the time when he was famous all over the world and glorified the lintel.
