Chapter 316: Persuasion

The remnant sun is like blood. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The afterglow of the cold and crimson sun. sprinkled on Zhang Ji's body. It made him feel lonely.

He held his gun and stood in the tower of the south gate of Chenliu. His brow furrowed. Looking far away. Zhang Jun's iron bucket-like encampment. The expression became more and more solemn. The disappointment is also becoming more and more obvious.

Distance from the defeat of the day. Five days have passed.

Night. His breakthrough was recognized by Zhang Yuan. Under the pressure of Ran Min's iron hooves. More than half of the 5,000 soldiers and horses were lost. Even Fan Chou died under Ran Min's gun.

Zhang Ji, who failed to break through. had to lead the remnants of the defeated army to retreat to Chen Liucheng. Continue to be trapped in the lonely city.

Over the course of five days. Zhang Yuan intensified the siege of Chenliu. Completely cut off the city from the outside world. So Zhang Ji had no way to learn about Dong Zhuo.

Zhang Ji could also guess. What's going on out there.

Dong Zhuo's strategy was wrong. must have also suffered a heavy blow from Zhang Yuan. Another fiasco.

Dong Zhuo was originally a small soldier. Another fiasco. I'm afraid that self-preservation will become a problem. Not to mention coming to rescue him from the city again.

He had vaguely guessed. Dong Zhuo had already given up on him. led the army to retreat to Chang'an.

Even so. Zhang Ji still has the remaining hope in his heart. I hope Dong Zhuo can come up with another strange strategy. Rescue him from Zhang Yuan's encirclement.

Little by little, time passed. Zhang Ji's remaining thoughts. But it is falling apart inch by inch.

Stand at the head of the city every day and observe. Zhang Ji couldn't see it. The number of Zhang's troops encamped on all sides. In the ever-increasing. So far, it has reached 30,000 people.

Zhang Yuan dared to besiege the city with so many soldiers and horses. There must be only one reason:

Dong Zhuo has retreated to Chang'an. Completely abandon Chen Liu. Zhang Yuan lost the threat to the south. only then did he dare to use the whole army to besiege his lonely city.

"Jia Xu, Jia Xu. You've hurt me. A dignified master. It will be just a Zhang Yuan. Is it like this? ā€

Zhang Ji looked up to the sky and sighed. Remorseful. Desperate thoughts grew in my heart.

Beyond despair. Zhang Ji was very confused.

With Zhang Yuan's current strength. Ten times as much as yourself. Just give an order. In the blink of an eye, Chen Liucheng can be razed to the ground.

But why? Zhang Yuan besieged the city for many days. Delay in launching an offensive.

Zhang Yuan besieged but did not attack. This made Zhang Ji more and more confused.

"Zhang Yuan. What the hell do you want to do? Why not attack immediately. Give me a good time. Zhang Ji secretly gritted his teeth. There is a little thought in my heart of "early death and early superbirth".

Just as Zhang Ji was thinking. In the camp of Zhang Jun opposite. Suddenly, something was noticed.

Dust and mist rise. But I saw a group of Zhang army cavalry galloping towards the city gate.

"The whole army is ready to meet the enemy." Zhang Shensi reined. Be alert immediately.

As early as in the battle of Wei Township. Zhang Ji's descendants and state soldiers. It has been completely wiped out. The thousands of soldiers and horses he commanded now. It's just Fan Chou's subordinates.

Normally. These people will not completely obey his commands. But now Fan Chou is dead. The soldiers were leaderless. Zhang Ji is their nominal chief in the end. Although reluctantly. But under this dilemma. They could only obey Zhang Ji's orders.

Thereupon. Thousands of Li pawns. I had to slowly swallow and clench the knife and gun. The bow and crossbow were raised. reluctantly put on a posture to meet the enemy.

A moment later. The group galloped closer. After seeing the reality of the enemy. Zhang Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The army that came forward. It's not Zhang Jun's brigade. It's just more than a hundred rides.

But what made Zhang Ji nervous was that. He was in the incoming army. saw Zhang Yuan's existence.

Zhang Yuan rode out of the city a few steps. He went and said, "Zhang Ji." Zhang Yuan is here. You dare to go out of town for a while. ā€

Zhang Ji was suspicious. He hesitated for a while. I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Zhang Yuan's gourd. In the end, I decided to go out of the city and see each other.

The gates of the city were opened. The drawbridge was slowly lowered. A moment later. Zhang Ji carries a silver gun. Ride out of town alone.

"Zhang Ji. I'm right to you, the fierce general of the West. I've heard of it for a long time. See you today. Sure enough, it lives up to its name. Zhang Yuan smiled lightly. It's like talking to a friend you've been friends for a long time.

Zhang Ji's heart shook slightly. But it's not a good taste.

The Battle of Wei Township. He thought he could defeat Zhang Yuan's cavalry. made great contributions to Dong Zhuo. Gain a firm foothold in Dong Ying. But he didn't want to be defeated by Zhang Yuan. The cavalry of the descendants was completely wiped out.

He was at that time. Only then did I deeply realize it. Zhang Yuan, who was originally only rumored to be an outlier in the state. What a great deal.

A few days ago. Dong Zhuo's strategy failed. He was personally blocked by Zhang Yuan. was divided into two words by Zhang Yuan. instigated Fan Chou to kill himself with him. He was even more deeply frightened by Zhang Yuan's methods.

The people of Xiliang have always only worshiped the strong. And Zhang Yuan's strong demeanor. It is enough to make Zhang Ji respectful.

"What a name. The first battle of Weixiang. My Xiliang cavalry was completely wiped out by Zhang Taishou's general. Zhang really saw that Zhang Taishou's reputation was well deserved. Zhang Ji smiled bitterly. Self-deprecating.

Zhang Yuan smiled. "Wang Hui, Liu Bao, Yuan Shu. And your new owner, Dong Zhuo. They have all been seen under my hands. Zhang Ji, you defeated me. There's nothing to be ashamed of. ā€

Zhang Yuan made no secret of his confidence. The words seemed to speak. It's normal for you Zhang Ji to lose to me.

"This Zhang Yuanzhi is unparalleled. This bearing. This self-confidence. I've never seen anything before. Even if it is Dong Zhuo, it is not as good. even overpowered the Taishi. No wonder the Taishi has been repeatedly defeated at his hands......"

Facing Zhang Yuan's self-confidence. Zhang Ji secretly marveled in his heart.

Although there is jealousy in my heart. Zhang Ji is also a fierce general of Xiliang in the end. has the blood of a Xiliang man. How could he be intimidated by Zhang Yuan's strength.

He immediately reined in his thoughts. Raise your eyebrows. Smile proudly. "Mrs. Zhang has a domineering bearing. It's really super. It's just that I, Zhang Ji, am not frightened. When did Zhang Taishou attack. Just let the horses go. Zhang will fight you to the death. ā€

In the face of Zhang Ji's generosity. Zhang Yuan suddenly burst out laughing. The laughter was full of mockery.

Soldiers can be killed. Don't be humiliated. Zhang Ji saw that Zhang Yuan was mocking him. couldn't help but look sink. "Zhang Taishou. Don't be too complacent. Although I, Zhang Ji, only have a few remnants left, the defeated generals. But you want to capture Chenliu. It's not that easy. I'll die in battle. It will cost you dearly. ā€

Zhang Yuan restrained his smile. Knife-like face. The irony remains. said coldly: "I'm not laughing at your bravery. I'm just laughing at Dong Zhuo for abandoning you in a lonely city. Nan fled to Chang'an. But you are bent on fighting and dying for Dong Zhuo. It's so stupid. It's funny. ā€

Zhang Yuan's words. The implication of surrender has been faintly revealed.

Zhang Jinai is the general of the West Liangsu. Good command of cavalry. Zhang Yuan is short of riders. If he is called to surrender. Naturally, it couldn't be better.

Moreover, the previous battle in Wei Township. He captured more than a thousand Xiliang cavalry. These people are good at riding and shooting. If you can summon Zhang Ji to surrender. You can easily collect the hearts of this thousand Xiliang people. Make use of existing horses. In the blink of an eye, another general can produce a cavalry of more than 1,000 people.

So many benefits. So Zhang Yuancai let Chen stay and didn't attack. Come and talk about Zhang Ji in person.
