Zhang Ji's words made Li Ji and Guo Yan completely stunned. Disillusioned, Guo Yan also asked innocently: "Brother Zhang, what do you mean?" ”

Li Ji had already woken up to what was going on, it turned out that this Zhang Ji had already taken refuge in the imperial court, deliberately provoking the relationship between him and Guo Yan, causing the Xiliang army to fight among themselves.

Although Li Wei figured this out, he regretted it too late. In fact, since Li Dao killed Fan Chou, the Xiliang army has long been separated from Germany, even if there is no discord between the imperial court and Zhang Ji, the Xiliang army will fall apart.

However, Li Ji naturally didn't think that it was his jealousy and conceit that caused today's situation, but scolded Zhang Ji: "The treacherous villain dares to betray me." ”

Zhang Ji scolded Li Dao and ridiculed him: "You are the real treacherous people who betray the court and raise swords and soldiers with their own desires, causing the people to be ruined and the world hanging upside down." ”

Li Wei was furious when he heard this, and Guo Yan, who understood it, also scolded. However, it was too late to say anything at this time, and there was a great chaos all around, and the troops of the imperial court poured into Guo Yan's camp like a tide after eradicating Li Wei's army.

Unlike Li Dao, who was trapped in the encirclement, Guo Yan saw the chaos in Li Dao's camp at the beginning, but at first he thought that Zhang Ji had launched an attack on Li Dao's army as promised. But when the chaos gradually approached his eyes, he found that it was the army of the imperial court who took advantage of the chaos to sneak attack.

At this time, the two armies of Li Dao and Guo Yan had been exhausted from fighting each other, and both were defeated, and they were unable to resist the wolf-like imperial army.

Therefore, after the imperial army rushed into Guo Yan's camp, they did not encounter any decent resistance at all, and most of the Xiliang troops either fled in all directions or surrendered on their knees. Li Dao and Guo Yan were no longer able to restrain the troops, so the two had to say goodbye to their short-lived hatred and hatred, and (scolded Zhang Ji together) and fled for their lives.

Unaware that his army had been destroyed, Li Dao fled to his camp, still fantasizing that he could join his own army. However, the oncoming army of the imperial court rushed forward, and between the left and right killings, there were few soldiers and horses left around Li Dao, and he was also wounded twice.

At this time, a group of soldiers and horses blocked his way, and one of the leading young heroes was in a long state, with thick tiger eyes and thick eyebrows, and a heroic look on his face, Li Wei looked at him very familiarly, and suddenly remembered:

"You're Zhang Xiu, aren't you dead?"

Zhang Xiu sneered: "If I die, who will take your head!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Xiu rode his horse and rushed towards Li Dao, twisting the gun and stabbing it. Li Dao had already fought many battles, exhausted, and was not at all the opponent of Zhang Xiu, who was strong in martial arts, and after only two moves, he let out a miserable scream and was stabbed off his horse by Zhang Xiu with a shot.

stabbed Li Dao to death, Zhang Xiu jumped off the horse and pulled out his waist knife to cut off Li Dao's head. At this time, Zhang Ji, who was chasing Li Dao behind, also led the crowd to run over. Seeing that Zhang Xiu had killed Li Dao, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

"Xiu'er killed this traitor, it's a great achievement!" Zhang Ji said appreciatively.

He looked at Zhang Xiu with comfort, feeling that this nephew had really grown a lot. He has no children under his knees, and his brother who died early only has such a child, so it can be said that Zhang Xiu is the hope of the Zhang family in the future. When he was injured by an arrow, Zhang Ji was desperate, thinking that the Zhang family was hopeless. However, fortunately, Hua Tuo's disciple Fan A was ordered by the military doctor at that time, and Zhang Xiu was rescued under the rejuvenation of his skillful hands. It was precisely because of this that Zhang Ji was willing to surrender to the imperial court after being captured, and was instructed by Liu Wei to return to Li Dao Guo Yan as an undercover agent.

Now that it is done, his nephew Zhang Xiu has also grown, and Zhang Xiu is comforted, but he suddenly feels that he is old.

He said to Zhang Xiu faintly: "Xiu'er has made this great achievement, and Your Majesty will have a reward." I have prepared this chapter for you to find a job in the capital. And His Majesty also let me enter Liangzhou at the beginning, so I'm afraid that you and I will be separated soon. ”

Zhang Xiu was shocked and asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty has asked me to come over to help my uncle, why does my uncle still want to separate you and me?" ”

Zhang Ji remembered Liu Wei's long talk when he persuaded him to surrender, and shook his head helplessly and smiled: "Although I am young today, I have great ambitions, and I am by no means an idle person. When you talk to me about the princes of the world, you still say, 'How can you allow others to snore next to the couch', and today Your Majesty can let you come back to me to assist me, which is just a gesture of favor to me. Li Dao Guo Yan is already a lamb to be slaughtered, even if you are not held hostage by him, it is impossible for me to betray the imperial court. It's just that Li Dao Guo Yan has now been ambushed, and what His Majesty and I talked about meant was to let me lead the army in Liangzhou. However, the foreign ministers are outside, and the court must be contained, not to mention that I am still a member of the Xiliang general. No matter how broad-minded Your Majesty is, I should be cautious so as not to be truthful. That's why I took the initiative to ask you to serve in Beijing, so that the court and Your Majesty can hold me hostage and rest assured. ”

Zhang Xiu nodded suddenly when he heard this.

Zhang Ji looked at Zhang Xiu and sighed slightly, and said: "Actually, I have a very light view of power, and the only hope is that you can get ahead." It's just that the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and we and other people who have surrendered to Xiliang have to act carefully. You must also be cautious and careful in the capital, and do not act arbitrarily. Today's young son of heaven has a lot of ambitions, if you can be loyal to your duties, work hard, and get the favor of Your Majesty, my Zhang family will also be revitalized. ”

Zhang Xiu felt Zhang Ji's ardent expectations for himself in his words, and his heart was also very moved, and he said with relatives: "Uncle is in the prime of life, guarding one side for the Son of Heaven, it is a good time to make contributions, why be so decadent?" It's a pity that the little nephew can't assist my uncle, and I can't repay my uncle for raising me. ”

Zhang Ji patted Zhang Xiu's shoulder vigorously and sighed a few sighs.

"You take care of yourself in the capital, which is the greatest reward to your uncle!"

While the two were talking, the Xiliang Army had completely collapsed. After Li Dao was stabbed to death by Zhang Xiu, Guo Yan did not end well.

Although he led the army to break through to the west with a large number of soldiers at the beginning, the famous general Huangfu Song had already laid a net, Duan Xuan and Zhang Zhang led the army to block his way, and Jiang Qi and Zhao Yun led the Xiyuan army to chase after him. Guo Yan saw Changshui Captain Duan Xuan

begged him to let himself go of the relationship between the former and the Xiliang family, but he didn't expect Duan Xuan to reply: "Although you and I were colleagues in the past, we are already incompatible at this time. Moreover, His Majesty has issued an edict that whoever beheads Li and Guo Yan can be crowned marquis, and those in the Xiliang Army who offer the head of Li and Guo Yan will not be prosecuted for their previous crimes, and they will be rewarded with money. You begged me with personal affection, but even if I wanted to show favoritism, my soldiers didn't want to miss the opportunity to be crowned a marquis! “

After saying that, Duan Xuan led his troops to rush over, Guo Yan had no choice but to flee to a small hill to defend it.

Duan Xuan, Jiang Qi and others surrounded the hill, and did not send people up to attack the mountain, but surrounded the foot of the mountain, and ordered the sergeants to shout loudly at the top:

"Kill Li Dao, you can be a marquis, kill Guo Yan, and get ten thousand gold!"

Guo Yan on the top of the mountain was terrified by the shouts of the mountain, and he looked at his subordinates with unkind eyes.

"Go down down the hill and shut up these people!" Guo Yan pointed to a group of soldiers and ordered.

The group of soldiers looked at each other, but none of them moved, and each of them showed a look of displeasure. If the enemy troops under the mountain could be killed, everyone would have rushed out of the encirclement a long time ago, how could they still hide on the mountain. The crossbows of the imperial army had already made the Xiliang army suffer, and at this time, Guo Yan let them rush down, and everyone felt that Guo Yan was sending them to death.

Seeing that all of his subordinates were still standing still, Guo Yan was furious and shouted, "Where is Wu Xi? ”

"The subordinates are here!" A general with a tiger's back walked to Guo Yan's side.

Wu Xi is a lieutenant under Guo Yan, who is a powerful person, has followed Guo Yan for many years, and has always been regarded as a confidant by Guo Yan.

"Go and kill all these soldiers who disobey the military order!" Guo Yan shouted frantically.

"No!" Wu Xi pulled out his waist knife violently, and blood suddenly splattered.

**********

Duan Xuan, Jiang Qi and others who were surrounding the mountain waited for a long time, and finally saw the Xiliang army on the mountain rushing down. It's just strange that this army of soldiers and horses is actually waving a white flag, and they all dismounted when they got far away from the mountain, and some of the soldiers shouted at them: "The anti-thief Guo Yan has been ambushed, we will surrender, don't shoot crossbows!" ”

Hearing what the other party said, some soldiers hurriedly went to report to Duan Xuan, Jiang Qi and others. When the two of them heard this, they hurriedly went to the front of the battle to check, and saw that a person who looked like a captain also walked to the front of the formation, knelt on the ground, raised a head, and said: "In Xia Nai Xiliang Military Academy Captain Wu Xi, the thief Guo Yan has been killed by me, I am willing to surrender, I hope the court will forgive me and other great sins!" ”

Duan Xuan and Jiang Qi glanced at each other, and Duan Xuan said to them: "The surrendered soldiers will all put down their weapons and kneel!" ”

The surrendered Xiliang army knelt down obediently, Jiang Qi sent someone to take the head, and verified that it was Guo Yan behind him, so he hurriedly sent someone to the Huangfu Songzhong military camp to report.

The ambush of Li and Guo Yan represented that the rebellion of the Xiliang Army had completely ended, and Huangfu Song, who learned the news, was extremely happy, and ordered people to clean up the battlefield and restrain the prisoners to surrender, while sending people to ride fast horses back to Chang'an to report the good news to Liu Bi.

A few days later, Liu Wei, who received the military report in Chang'an, finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Finally I won. The rebellion of Li Wei and Guo Yan, which had pushed the Han Empire into the abyss of destruction in history, was finally quelled.

In this battle, due to Liu Wei's quick decision on the rebellion of the Xiliang Army, he dared to pour the troops of the whole country into a decisive battle with him with extraordinary courage, and finally changed the fate of the Han Empire facing the fall. In particular, under Liu Wei's careful arrangement, the rebellion ended in just three months, so that the imperial court and the Silizhou region were not greatly damaged as in the original history, and the impact of the rebellion on the nascent Guangxi regime was minimized.

Liu Wei was extremely satisfied with the results passed down by Huangfu Song, and ordered the army to count the military merits judicially, and the court rewarded them together. He also ordered Huangfu Song to lead the army to continue to advance westward, pursue and sweep away the remnants of the rebels along the road, and Chen troops in Qiangdao.

Liu Wei was ready to take advantage of this great victory to solve the problem of chaos that had plagued the Han Dynasty for many years.
