Luoyang.

Yuan Shao was in the midst of a nerve-wrenching discussion about the alliance proposed by Cao Ying.

Saying yes is inevitable, but it can't be said easily. I want to gnaw off a piece of meat from Cao Ying's body to avenge the one arrow that took away the Son of Heaven.

Although Yuan Shao was very worried about Liu Yuan's southward movement, because the fire did not burn his eyebrows, and the armies from all over the country were in place, there was a tiger prison in the east, a steep Hangu in the west, and a Yellow River moat in the north, so he was not very anxious. Instead, he sat on the mountain and watched the play, watching how Liu Yuan ravaged Cao Ying and others, and vented his anger for himself.

At this time, Yuan Shao received a secret report from Gao Gan, and when he took a closer look, he couldn't help but be shocked and angry.

What was surprising was that the Youzhou army was so strong, but in just a few days, it had already defeated Cao Ying, who was led by himself as a great enemy, tore open the door of Yanzhou, and directly threatened Si Li. What was angry was that Gao Gan actually took matters into his own hands and let Cao Ying enter the customs, and also took the initiative to withdraw from Bishui and withdraw to the Tiger Prison, directly losing a large piece of land.

Although Gao Gan stated all the benefits and disadvantages in the secret protection, Yuan Shao still felt that his authority had been challenged.

Angry and angry, Yuan Shao was not easy to deal with.

One is from Gao Gan's secret protection, he directly smelled the crisis coming to his face, and Gao Gan is guarding the east gate of Si Li, and the position is extremely important and cannot be missed. If you want to deal with Gao Gan now, that Gao Gan's mind will turn, or he will vote for Cao Ying, or vote for Liu Yuan, it will be very bad.

Since the Youzhou army is so strong, Yongzhou and even Mengjin will have to face super pressure. Several of his generals have been dispatched, and if the senior cadres are dealt with, there is no one to take over the position of the town guard division at the east portal!

After thinking about it, Yuan Shao could only temporarily suppress this time, hide it in his heart, but said that he would settle the account later. At the same time, Yuan Shao called Cao Ying's envoy Zhong Xuan, only agreed to form an alliance, and asked Zhong Xuan to immediately return to the Tiger Prison Pass to bring a message to Cao Ying. Then, he called his subordinates Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others to the study, talked for a long time, and decided to defend it.

When Luoyang was busy, Hanoi, Huai County.

Zhang Fei has been very anxious for the past two days.

Since Wang Kuang landed a few years ago, there has been no war, and several years of silence have made this literati face, but the general surnamed Blazing Fire has always been like a cat's claw, and a bird faded out of his mouth. He received Liu Yuan's order and was about to get ready to go, but because the sailor was not in place, he had not been able to act.

On this day, Zhang Fei painted in the house, painting one after another, and after painting one piece, he tore it up and threw it into the paper basket, although his face was silent, his eyes were full of fire!

"his grandmother," Zhang Fei burst into a foul mouth, threw the brush away, took off his robe, lifted the snake spear standing in the corner of the wall, and headed for the backyard.

After playing a spear trick, Zhang Fei's heart was even more angry, but suddenly, a soldier came to report, saying that Zhou Tai, the Yellow River sailor, was here.

Zhang Fei was immediately overjoyed, threw away the snake spear that he usually treasured, strode out of the backyard, and welcomed Zhou Tai into the house.

"I said Lao Zhou, you're too slow!"

Zhang Fei complained: "But I'm in a hurry, turn around!" ”

Zhou Tai smiled, spread his hands in a helpless manner, and said, "Isn't this no way?" The day before yesterday, I was assisting General Zhao Yun to attack Baimajin, and this was just laid, so I immediately went upstream, didn't I? ”

When Zhang Fei saw Zhou Tai, the anger in his heart finally subsided, and when he asked, "When can you attack Meng Jin?" Do you need time to recuperate? ”

Zhou Tai laughed: "You can do it at any time!" ”

"Really?"

"Really!"

"That's good!" Zhang Fei shouted, shaking the whole house three times, and shouted: "Someone! Ordered Zhang Yan and Wei Yan to immediately assemble a large army and wait outside the city! ”

"No!"

"I said Lao Zhang, I just came, and I didn't serve a glass of wine, so I asked me to do something for you, and you can't be authentic, right?" Zhou Tai stood up and joked.

"Hey, when Luoyang is captured, my Lao Zhang will invite you to drink for three days!" After speaking, Zhang Fei turned around and entered the inner room, and soon came out, already dressed in military uniform

At the same time, Xu Huang led an army of 50,000 to follow the Chi Road, crossing Mobei and Bingzhou, to understand the county.

So, 50,000 horses in the east of Gaoshun River, plus 50,000 horses in Xu Huang, combined into one, waved the army westward, and attacked Zuo Fengyi.

Echoing with Gao Shunyao, Cheng Yuanzhi, Guan Hai, and Zhoucang of Sanguan, Longguan, and Qi County, totaling 50,000 elites, also went down to the pass and directly attacked Yongzhou.

At the same time, Huang Chang personally led an army of 50,000 people, brought the deputy general Pang De, and Ma Chao's 50,000 horses converged in Wudu, went out of the East Wolf Valley, directly attacked Keigu, and coerced Hanzhong Nanzheng.

Yizhou.

Chengdu, the State Pastoral Chamber.

Liu Zhang was full of heroism, sitting on the main seat, and the civil and military cadres under the hall sat opposite each other.

Zhao Wei, who is dying, Zhang Su, Fa Yan, who is in the prime of life, and Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and others of the younger generation sit in turn on the left side. On the opposite side, led by Yan Yan, Zhang Ren, Huang Quan and other generals descended in turn.

"I think you all know why the Honshu pastor invited you to come." Liu Zhang said: "My brother Liu Zihong, and he has taken the step of going south to dominate the world. Now, I, Yizhou, am facing two roads. ”

"First, unite with all the princes, send troops to resist, and resist Liu Zihong."

"Second, keep in line with Liu Zihong, immediately send troops to attack Hanzhong, and welcome the Youzhou army into Shu."

Liu Zhang said, his eyes swept over a dry of civil and military affairs, and said: "Liu Zihong is powerful and irresistible, I want to be consistent with him and revive my Han Dynasty, what do you think?" ”

Everyone in the hall stopped talking.

Liu Zhang's thoughts, over the years, everyone is clear. And because of the passage of time, it has slowly become acceptable. But now that we have to make a choice, I always can't let go. Even old ministers like Zhao Wei are like this.

However, Zhang Song and Fa Yan, who had been to Youzhou, thought that Liu Zhang's choice was very correct.

So Zhang Song took the lead in getting up and arched his hand: "My subordinates agree with the lord's decision." Let's not talk about how strong Youzhou is, just say that the lord and the king of Yuyang are the same clan, and they have always had a close relationship, how can you say that you have to help each other? Besides, we have been working hard, isn't it just for the revival of the Han? ”

To put it bluntly, the revival of the Han Dynasty is the revival of the Liu dynasty. And Liu Yuan's surname is Liu, and it is natural to help Liu Yuan.

Fa Yan also got up and said: "The King of Yuyang is eloquent, in my opinion, if the King of Yuyang can dominate the world, it will be a blessing for us, a blessing for the people, and a blessing for the world!" ”

Liu Zhang nodded slightly and said, "Lord Zhao? General Yan, what do you think? ”

"The old minister follows the advice of the lord." Zhao Wei said tremblingly.

"We are soldiers, and we obey orders!" Yan Yan's answer was sonorous and powerful.

"Good!" Liu Zhang stood up, waved his sleeves, and shouted, "Where is Yan Yan!?" ”

"The last general!"

"Headed by you, supplemented by Zhang Ren, Huang Quan, etc., immediately send 100,000 troops to attack Hanzhong and welcome the Youzhou army into Shu!"

"No!"

Mengjin is a military location. Many years ago, Dong Zhuo greatly strengthened the defense facilities in this place. Now, Yuan Shao is even more reinforcing it at night. The small Mengjindu has almost become a fortress, and from a distance, it looks like a sea bowl upside down on the ground, and it seems that it is impossible to start.

Zhang Fei stood on the deck, his eyes narrowed.

"It's impossible to break through Mengjin from the water!" Zhou Tai sighed on the side: "Lao Zhang, the only way to do it now is to stand on it, rush ashore first, and then make a decision." ”

Zhang Fei nodded silently, grinning, Bai Sensen's teeth flashed with a cold light: "A small fortress, just trying to block my Youzhou army, it's a joke!" Look at how I, Zhang Fei, break him! ”

Zhou Tai nodded, and with a wave of the command flag in his hand, the ironclad fleet accelerated in an instant, heading straight for Mengjin Water Village.

A torrent of arrows shot out of the fortress, mixed with many rockets. The whole fortress is like a honeycomb, and the arrows emit a deafening reputation, like a huge swarm of bees, covering the sky and covering the sun in the sky.

On the ironclad ships, crossbowmen and light infantry took refuge in the cabins, and the heavy infantry erected large shields and surrounded the ships tightly. No matter how many arrows, no matter how huge the arrow array, there is nothing to be done.

The speed of the flotilla did not slow, and soon, it reached the shallow water.

"Quick! Fast! Lifebuoys, build pontoons! ”

"Crossbowmen, precision strikes, counterattacks!"

"Suppress the enemy and build a pontoon bridge!"

On the ship, the heavy infantry took a step back in unison, and the crossbowmen emerged from the cabin, hiding behind the heavy infantry, and occasionally counterattacking with an arrow, and it was clearly seen that there was no sound in one of the openings in the fortress.

As the crossbowmen counterattacked, the attack of the Mengjin Water Village Fortress was greatly reduced, and the elite sailors of the sailor division immediately jumped into the water with lifebuoys sewn from cowhide, took the wooden planks handed down from the ship, and began to build a pontoon bridge.

However, although the arrow array is much sparser, it is still not a few after all, and there are many sailors who are seriously injured or even killed by arrows!

Zhou Tai was so distressed that while shouting and urging loudly, he also jumped into the water and did it himself.

Over time, there were many casualties among the sailors, and finally, the pontoon bridge was built.

Zhang Fei shouted violently, waved his big hand, and in the midst of the drums, rows of heavy infantry with rigid shields neatly along the pontoon bridge quickly rushed to the water village!

Zhang Fei took the lead, a dry snake spear flashed with black light, within a radius of a few zhang, it was impermeable, a few arrow steps, and he was down-to-earth and went ashore.

"Sons, avenge the sailor's brother!"

Zhang Fei shouted wildly and turned around: "Formation!" Hurry up! ”

The dense heavy infantry finally came ashore, and in the open space in front of the fortress, under the constant rain of arrows, formed a military formation.

In a quarter of an hour, in a full quarter of an hour, all 20,000 heavy infantry came ashore.

Under the command of Zhang Fei, Wei Yan and Zhang Yan each led a formation, Zhang Fei led a formation, and three formations of heavy infantry formed three circles in the narrow open space under the fortress.

In an instant, three huge openings appeared on the castle, and Zhang Fei's snake spear shook and shouted: "Kill!" ”

The three-way heavy infantry swarmed out and smashed into the Mengjin fortress!
