Zhang Fei's sneak attack on Cao Ying failed that day, and he had no shame to return to Xiapi, and the horse traveling east originally had no purpose, but just believed in the horse's reins. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Unexpectedly, on this day, Zhang Fei found a fast horse galloping very quickly, and then looked at the horse's clothes, it was Cao Jun.

Zhang Fei saw the opportunity, suddenly stopped in front of the knight, and shouted, "Get off the horse!" "

The knight was so frightened that the horsemen rose to their feet, and the men on the horses were thrown down.

Zhang Fei stepped on the man's chest and took out a superstitious letter from his arms. When I opened it, it read, "Hedong soldiers and horses attacked Tongguan, and the eldest prince led the troops to help." I didn't want the war in Hedong to start again, and Xiahou Yuan was defeated in Anyi. Jia has ordered Le Jin to lead the troops eastward. I hope that the prime minister will calm down Xuzhou as soon as possible and quickly start a class. lest the young people take advantage of the fire to rob. Guo Jia's handwriting. "

Zhang Fei looked at the knight and said angrily, "What day is this news?" "

The knight said, "Three days." "

Zhang Fei ignored him and killed the knight with the snake spear in his hand. One man and two horses continued eastward.

At first, he just wanted to intercept the messengers one after another and not let them be sent to Cao Ying.

I didn't want to find a large group of soldiers and horses marching at night on the evening of the second day, without raising fire, not making a sound, and not seeing the banners of soldiers and horses.

Zhang Fei looked strange, so he followed in secret. At dawn the next day, the group did not leave. Camp in seclusion in the woods.

Zhang Fei didn't dare to act rashly, and waited another day. In the evening, the team moved again. Zhang Fei grabbed a lone straggler from the end of the team, and when he asked, he learned that they were all soldiers and horses of Zhang Xiu, the general of Zhennan. They were going to attack Xuchang on this trip.

Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he heard this, if Xuchang was breached, the siege of Xuzhou would be relieved. He is a good person, and he thinks that he can't miss this excitement. asked the little soldier to go back and report to Zhang Xiu, "It is said that the messenger of Xuzhou Mu Liu Xuande is here." "

After about a stick of incense, Zhang Xiu came to see Zhang Fei with a hundred guards and Mr. Jia Xu.

Zhang Xiu didn't recognize Zhang Fei, but Mr. Jia Xu had seen Liu Bei and his two sworn brothers in Xuchang.

Zhang Xiu asked, "I don't know why General Zhang came here?" "

Zhang Fei said: "Cao Cao led the troops to attack Xuzhou. My brother sent me to the general for help. On the way, I inquired about the general's location, and I came. "

Zhang Xiu was stunned, "Could it be that General Fei has already been to Nanyang?" "

At this time, Jia Xu said: "The general is not going to laugh. I see that you have come here alone, not like a messenger, but like a defeated soldier and walking alone. Our army is very tightly guarded, and the general is afraid that he will be stumped by mistake here. You said asking for help, I don't know where Liu Yuzhou's letter is? "

Zhang Fei feigned anger and said, "It is said that people are old and become fine, and you are very accurate." To tell the truth, he intercepted Cao's camp in the next night, and the soldiers were defeated and fled. Originally, he was going to move the rescue troops, but he didn't want to catch Cao Jun's messenger on the way, and got a secret letter from the chaos in Hedong, and Guo Jia asked Cao Cao to take the division as soon as possible. I'm afraid that the news will not be accurate, so I will inquire along the way, and I don't want to meet the general. I heard that the general was going to attack Xuchang, and I also wanted to kill some Cao soldiers and Cao Jun. "

"Who said I was going to attack Xuchang?" Zhang Xiu's eyes revealed a touch of murderous intent.

Zhang Fei just wanted to say what the little soldier said just now. Suddenly seeing Zhang Xiu's expression, he immediately changed his words, "The general's soldiers and horses rest during the day, march at night, the bow is wound, and the knife is unsheathed, can you go to Xuchang to meet Cao Cao?" "

Zhang Xiu laughed when he heard this, "Since the general found out that Zhang is a celebrity who does not do secret things, Cao Cao is called Han Xiang, but he is actually a Han thief." Today, I am raising troops to attack Xuchang, clear traitors, and change the saint to the old capital. But I don't know if the general is here to vote? "

Zhang Fei smiled, "How can there be so much nonsense, you seal it with me first, and I will help you open the gate of Xuchang." When the time comes, you will control Xuchang, Cao Cao's rear will not be guaranteed, and he will definitely return to the division, and my eldest brother's Xuzhou will also be saved. "

Zhang Xiu's face was slightly displeased, "My pioneer Hu Che'er has the courage of ten thousand people." As soon as the general comes, he will be a pioneer, do you think that there is no one under Zhang's command? "

After hearing this, Zhang Fei stared at a pair of ringed eyes like copper bells.

Jia Xu saw that the two were going to fight, and immediately said: "If the general wants to be a pioneer, he will make it, but he will just use the name of Hu Che'er." Otherwise, wouldn't it be ridiculous for my family to use outsiders as pioneers. "

Zhang Fei was overjoyed, "As long as I let Lao Zhang kill someone, I don't care whose name I use." It's still your old man's eyes that move fast. "

Zhang Xiu was about to speak, but was stopped by Jia Xu. Jia Xu went down to give Hu Che'er some instructions, and let Zhang Fei be the pioneer.

Let's not talk about Zhang Xiu's passives, just say that Guo Jia in Xuchang City has always been a little restless these days. The letter to Cao Cao has been sent for many days, but he has not received a reply, and I don't know what the situation in Hedong is?

On the other hand, he was always worried that something would happen to Xuchang, and I don't know if Cao Cao asked him to keep an eye on the forces in Xuchang City under too much pressure, or if Cao Ang sent troops without authorization and the defeat made him uneasy.

Guo Jia summoned his henchmen in charge of intelligence in the city and asked if there was anything unusual in the past few days. The man reported a collection of information, but it was mostly trivial. Guo Jia was a little disappointed after hearing this, and waved him down. Before leaving, the man added, "By the way, in the past few days, Zhang Quan, the general of the Tiger Benzhonglang, has personally inspected the security in the city every day, and I heard that he is also unclothed in the mansion." "

Guo Jia immediately realized that this was a very important question, and he asked the henchman to arrange for someone to continue to examine Zhang Quan's movements, and then he fell into thought alone.

Guo Jia drew all the people who had a relationship with Zhang Quan on paper. I want to find more clues from it. But the two key figures, Zhang Xiu and Tian Jing, one in Nanyang and the other in Jizhou, it is difficult to say what collusion there is between them now.

Guo Jia suddenly remembered the emperor in the palace, after Tian Jing left, the emperor was very important to Zhang Quan. Could it be that something will happen in the palace?

Thinking of this, Guo Jia immediately got up and entered the palace. When he saw Liu Xie, he only said that Cao Cao let him enter the palace and report the current war in Xuzhou and Hedong. At the same time, he hoped that Liu Xie would issue an edict reprimanding Yuan Shao for sending troops into Hanoi.

These are all excuses, Guo Jia wanted to see some clues from Liu Xie, but he didn't find any clues.

Guo Jia left the palace and went out to find the guard Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu confirmed that there was nothing abnormal in the palace. Moreover, Zhang Quan has not entered the palace in the past half a month, so Zhang Quan's changes should have little to do with Liu Xie.

When Guo Jia left Cheng Yu's mansion and walked back, his left eyelid kept beating and he was restless. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find a clue. went to the Governor's Mansion again, found Li Dian, and asked him to guard the four gates carefully.

When he returned to the palace, he wrote another letter to Cao Ang, asking him to hand over Hangu Pass to his henchmen to guard, and let him lead the troops back to Xuchang in case there was a change in the court.

Three days later, Guo Jia received the latest tip-off that their spy Zhang Xiu in Nanyang had not appeared in Nanyang for nearly half a month.

Guo Jia immediately recognized the seriousness of the matter. As soon as he wanted to order someone to inform Li Dian, someone came to report in a hurry. "It's not good, the Nanyang soldiers have already attacked the south gate of Xuchang."

The one who attacked the east gate of Xuchang was none other than Zhang Fei. Zhang Xiu originally planned to attack the city at night, but Jia Xu thought that the city of Xuchang was high and deep, and if the city gate was not opened, it would be difficult to succeed. Whether Zhang Quan's side can take the city gate is still unknown. So the best thing to do is to launch a surprise attack in the morning when the gates are wide open. Zhang Fei joined Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses and became a pioneer, and now he is leading 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack the south gate under the banner of Hu Che'er.

The defenders of Xuchang reacted very quickly, drove the people at the gate away, and closed the city gate at the first time. Then arrows rained down on the city. The people fled in all directions. The fleeing people delayed Zhang Fei's soldiers and horses. In this short period of time, a suspension bridge was immediately raised over the city.

Zhang Fei saw that there was no hope of seizing the city gate, so he began to ask the soldiers to put the ladder on the moat, and then ordered the soldiers to divide into three teams to take turns to seize the city. Then let the cavalry take turns shooting arrows at the city as cover.

When the Nanyang army attacked the city, Li Dian happened to be patrolling at the south gate. After all, he is a veteran who has been in battle for a long time. Although the response was hasty, he still let the soldiers perform their duties and defend closely at the first time.

At the same time, let people warn the four gates, so that the soldiers at each gate are closely guarded and are not allowed to leave their posts without permission. Li Dian stood on the tower of the city and looked down, although the vanguard of the attack was only five or six thousand people. But looking at the dust in the distance and the flags waving in the woods, it is presumable that the follow-up troops should arrive soon.

Li Dian asked the heralds to go to the eastern, western, and northern gates to send 1,000 soldiers and horses to the southern city as a reserve. At the same time, let people notify the Tiger Camp and the Weiwei Mansion in the city, so that they can be ready for emergencies at any time.

Just when the fierce battle was raging at the south gate, Zhang Quan led five hundred tiger guards to the west gate. He said to Wang Wei, the guard of the West Gate, "General Li Dian ordered his men to assist in the defense of the West Gate, and at the same time asked the West Gate to transfer another 500 archers and 500 sword and shield men to the South Gate to assist in the defense. ”

Wang Wei did not doubt it, so he transferred 1,000 men to the south gate, and at the same time let Zhang Quan's soldiers and horses join the defensive formation.

But he never imagined that the enemy was not killed from outside, but from Xuchang City, hundreds of strong men of different skin colors were killed, although their clothing was not uniform, but their weapons were standard military weapons. These people slaughtered the defenders like tigers in the mountains, and Wang Wei made people resist hard. At this moment, the Tiger Sergeant who had just joined in suddenly slaughtered his brother as if he didn't know them.

Before Wang Wei could react to what was going on, Zhang Quan's golden gun had already pierced into his vest. Only then did he realize that he had fallen for Zhang Quan. But why?

Zhang Quan led the troops to open and defeat the defenders of the West Gate, and then immediately ordered people to open the city. At this time, the real Hu Che'er was leading 5,000 soldiers and horses waiting outside the West Gate. At the moment when the city gate was opened, the Nanyang army poured into Xuchang.

If this continues, Xuchang will definitely be attacked. But something unexpected happened. Cheng Yuzheng led the two thousand guards and a total of four or five thousand people from the mansions of the guards, and sealed the intersection with a knife cart. The Nanyang soldiers and horses were blocked at the gate of the West Gate.
