Chapter 92: Zhang Ji dies
Three days later, Chang'an Daying. Yang Xu looked at the thousands of soldiers below, suddenly burst into a daze, pulled out the snake sword, pointed at Liangzhou from afar, and shouted, "Go!" ”
The generals led the team in front, followed by a column of soldiers, and slowly marched towards Anding.
At the same time, under Wuwei City, Ma Teng stood on the platform and gave orders!
"Pound! Let you be the vanguard, and lead 20,000 troops first! ”
"The last general commands!"
"Liang Xing, Candidate, Cheng Yi, Zhang Heng, Yang Qiu, Cheng Yin, Han De, Li Kan!"
"The last general!" Those who were called answered together.
"You and others will each bring all the men and horses, and kill and settle with me!"
"No!"
Suddenly, 150,000 horses moved together, the army was like a forest, and the flag covered the sun.
At this moment, in the territory of the Qiang tribe, Ma Chao waved his spear, "Let's go!" "Behind him, the Qiang cavalry is rushing like a rainbow!
For a while, the eyes of the entire Shenzhou Han were focused on Yongzhou, the battle between Yang Xu and Ma Teng.
Xuzhou, under the city of Xiaopei, Cao Cao's camp.
"Yang Xuzhen and Ma Teng are going to war!" Cao Cao took the information in his hand, he could foresee this war, but he didn't expect that so soon, the Qiang people would form an alliance with Ma Teng so soon! Unite 400,000 horses and send troops together!
"Lord, this is good news for us!" Guo Jia next to him said. "First of all, we are now attacking Xuzhou, and Yang Xu of Yongzhou has been threatening the Sili area! Our army rashly attacked Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and the defense around Sili was relatively weak, and at this time Yang Xu and Ma Teng were fighting, and the rear of our army could be safe! ”
"Our army has just left Xiaopei, Tao Qian transferred all the troops back to Xiapi, and now there are 150,000 defenders in Xiapi! Moreover, the high walls of Xiapi City are thick, and they cannot be forcibly taken! The lord is still thinking about how to capture Pi and take Xuzhou! Xun Yu also interjected on the side.
"Xiapi is the Xuzhou Governor's Office, Tao Qian is benevolent and loves the people, but benevolent and almost pedantic, loving and almost spoiled! Although there are 150,000 people and horses in Xuzhou, there are few real generals, and the only good fighter is Zang Ba, but he is not reused, and Mi Fang, Cao Bao and others are reused by Tao Qian! Cao Cao paced, analyzing.
"When we sent our troops, Tao Qian sent a letter asking for help to the princes of the four directions, and his subordinates were worried that these princes would not sit idly by and watch the lord attack Xuzhou!" Cheng Yu also stood up and said.
"The princes around Xuzhou, one of them is Yuan Shao of Jizhou, but at this moment Yuan Shao is fighting with Gongsun Zhan, and he has no time to take care of him, Beihai Kong Rong, at this time the Yellow Turban is attacking the city, and he will not come to the rescue! The only thing to watch out for is Yuan Shu in Huainan! This person has long coveted Xuzhou! At this moment, Tao Qian sent a letter asking for help, just to give him a chance to enter Xuzhou, and he will inevitably bring troops here! Guo Jia said again.
"My lord! The last general is willing to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to garrison Pengcheng and block Yuan Shu's reinforcements! Cao Cao's chief general, Xiahou Dun, spoke.
"Thirty thousand!" Cao Cao smiled, "You overestimate Yuan Shu too much!" I have been in contact with him for many years, and I know him very well, he is an insatiable person, he just wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman, but he doesn't want to contribute, I expect that Yuan Shu has sent troops at this time, but the number will never exceed 20,000! He wants to wait for me and Tao Qian to lose both of them, and then end up with a large army! ”
At this time, Cao Cao Zhengse said: "Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, you immediately send troops to Pengcheng and take this fortress!" According to Yuan Shu's reinforcements! ”
"No!"
"The rest of the generals, rest for a day, and continue to march to Xia Pi tomorrow!"
"No!"
Hanzhong, Zhang Lu Fushang.
"Yang Xu has already left Chang'an to face Ma Teng! Now it's time for me to seek revenge on Liu Zhang! Zhang Lu said, his eyes burst out with hatred! As soon as Liu Yan died, Liu Zhang actually killed his mother, this hatred, he has been enduring it, but he is afraid that when he raises troops to attack Xichuan, Yang Xu will sneak attack Hanzhong!
"My lord! How many men and horses are you going to mobilize this time? The chief bookkeeper Yan Pu asked.
"We have 100,000 horses, of which 20,000 are stationed in Yangpingguan, 20,000 are stationed in Shangyong, and there are only 60,000 in Hanzhong!" At this time, Yang Ren drew up and reported a set of numbers!
"60,000, then I will send 60,000 troops, pass the order down, withdraw the 10,000 horses of Yang Bai in Yangping Pass, and defend Hanzhong!"
"Zhang Wei listens to the order, and you will lead 50,000 troops to attack the Sword Pavilion!"
"No!"
"Yang Ren obeyed the order and ordered you to lead 10,000 horses and attack Zitong along the path!"
"No!"
Wancheng, on Zhangji Mansion.
"Wenhe, now Yang Xu has left Chang'an, ready to fight with Ma Teng! You see if we can attack Wuguan now and seize Chang'an! Zhang Ji asked a middle-aged scribe next to him, this person is Jia Xu Jia Wenhe!
"Lord, we are nominally allied with Liu Biao, but in fact we are just using each other, he uses us as the spearhead, Wancheng is the gateway to Jingzhou, we also use him as a backing, and it can be said that we are a subsidiary of Jingzhou!"
"There are 80,000 horses in Wancheng, but only one Wancheng can't support 80,000 people at all, we can only rely on the money and food provided by Liu Biao in the past two years, now, Yang Xu is out of Chang'an, this is an opportunity, we can take advantage of this to attack, if we capture Chang'an, it is really self-reliance, not the way it is now, subject to others!"
"Okay, since Wen He said so, then it must be true, tomorrow I will raise troops to attack Yongzhou!"
Jia Xu nodded in acquiescence.
It was night, dark clouds covered the moon, it was pitch black, and the candle in Zhang Ji's study was still on.
"If you want to attack Chang'an, our army must mobilize at least 60,000! But these are cavalry, and they are not good at sieges, which is a problem! Zhang Ji pondered.
"Husband, rest! It's so late! The woman, Zou, went into the house and persuaded. This Zou family was originally the daughter of a businessman in Chang'an, and Dong Zhuo gave it to Zhang Ji in order to buy people's hearts!
"Madam, you go to sleep first!" Zhang Jitou didn't reply and said.
"Alright then!" Zou turned around and went out of the door, and was about to close the door, but a black shadow appeared out of thin air, and a chapter hit her back, Zou suddenly screamed, fell to the ground and fainted.
"What people!" Zhang Ji woke up in an instant, looked at the door, and saw a black-clothed masked figure, raising his hand and throwing out a poisonous needle, which was aimed at Zhang Ji's throat.
"You" Zhang Ji's voice was hoarse, and before he finished speaking, he fell on top of the case and died of anger! The man in black turned around, took advantage of the cover of night, and calmly left.
All this came suddenly, only the candle shadow remained, still swaying!
On the second day, the subordinates found Zhang Ji's body and reported to Zhang Xiu!
"Uncle !!" Zhang Xiu saw Zhang Ji, who died tragically, and cried out loud, his parents died early, it was all up to Zhang Ji to pull him up and raise him, in order to let him learn martial arts, he specially took him to apprentice Tong Yuan, so that he has the name of "Gun King of the North" today! Therefore, Zhang Xiu's feelings for Zhang Ji are better than those of his parents!
"Who is it? Who killed my uncle! I'm going to tear him up and break his body into pieces! Zhang Xiu roared loudly.
At this time, Jia Xu. Hu Che'er also arrived, and when he saw Zhang Xiu like this, he stepped forward to comfort him. "Major General, mourn! Now that the lord is plotted, this must be a conspiracy, the young general should inherit the position of the lord first and appease the army, otherwise, I am afraid that the foundation left by the lord will be ruined! ”
Zhang Xiu wiped away her tears and said, "What Mr. Jia said is true, but I want to bury my uncle first, and as for other things, Mr. Lao Jia will take care of some!"
"Okay!" Jia Xu sighed and said, "Then I'll go to the barracks first!" ”
