The sun rises in the east, the morning sun is like a round of fireballs about to erupt, blooming a brilliant light between heaven and earth, and the morning fog is dispelled by this light bit by bit.

Between the shadows of the mountains, a clear and calm city was revealed, and at this moment, it had been three hours since the end of the war.

The county government mansion.

Zhao Yun did not take off his battle armor, his hands were behind his back, standing in front of a hanging marching map, his eyes were sometimes gloomy, sometimes bright, and his heart was constantly calculating the upcoming battle.

"Report to the general, our approximate casualties are out!" Ling Tong walked in and said in a deep voice.

"Say!"

"The Second Southern Division and the Eighth Flame Division only feinted, and only launched a strong attack at the end, so the casualties were not large, but the Third Southern Division that stormed the West City Gate suffered great casualties, more than half of the casualties, and one-third of the casualties, and the casualties of the Second Division of the Wild Lion were not large, and the next battle was very smooth, plus the previous ambush battle, no more than six hundred soldiers were killed!"

"How many troops do we have now?"

"Probably in the early 40,000s!"

"Pass my order, all soldiers and horses, immediately enter the city to repair, the east city gate will be handed over to the South Second Division, and the west city gate will be handed over to the Flame Eighth Division, strictly guarded, there must be no slackness!" Zhao Yun said in a deep voice.

"No!"

Ling Tong quickly went down to give the order.

"General, the traces of the Wei army's soldiers and horses have been found ten miles away from the West City Gate, and their strength is about 25,000 to 28,000!" At this time, a scout company commander hurriedly walked in and bowed his head to report.

"Good time!"

Zhao Yun put on his helmet, held a spear in his hand, walked out of the county office, and said in a cold voice as he walked: "I will personally go to meet this Hebei general who can amaze His Majesty!" ”

Outside the West City Gate, Zhang He rode on a group of tall war horses. Leading 25,000 soldiers, maintaining a strict formation, approaching Shangyong City step by step, getting closer and closer to Shangyong City, he raised his head slightly, and looked at the golden dragon battle flag flying at the head of the city. Embroidered with a big 'Wu' character.

At this moment, his heart sank like ice.

It seems that it is a step too late after all.

"The whole army obeys the order and immediately sets up camp!" Zhang He set up camp five miles outside the city.

"Yes!"

The soldiers began to set up camp with their backs to the small hillside on the left side of the official road.

"General Zhang, it seems that Shangyong City has been captured by the Wu army, but I don't know what happened to General Cao?" Deputy General Wei Duan was also a little apprehensive at this time.

Cao Ren is too important, he is a descendant of Cao General, not to mention the origin of his Cao family's children. Just saying that he has followed Cao Cao for many years and has made great contributions, they can't help but despise him.

"Since Shangyong City has been captured by the Wu army, he is either killed in battle or captured, there is nothing to think about!" Zhang He's face was very calm, his expression was not shocked, and he said lightly: "The terrain of the mediocre." He can't break through! ”

"You said it easily, if General Cao really died in battle. I'm afraid you and I will be punished by Your Majesty! ”

Wei Duan said in a cold voice.

He is a general, Zhang He is also a general, their status in Wei Ying is not high, if they bear this black cauldron, the future will be sad.

Even if Cao Cao is generous and doesn't care, will the generals of the Cao and Xiahou families who are now holding up half of Cao Wei's rivers and mountains let them go?

"He was captured. We can only do our best in this matter and obey the destiny of God! ”

The corners of Zhang He's mouth raised a smile of indifference: "I am a person who has died once, what are you afraid of, if Your Majesty is guilty of this, then I am looking at the wrong person." Cast into the wrong camp, I'm damned! ”

"You?"

Wei Duan's pupils shrank slightly, he didn't have Zhang He's fearless spirit.

"General Wei, instead of thinking about how to get away with your guilt here, you might as well go and meet Zhao Zilong with me for a while, and maybe find the whereabouts of General Cao Ren!"

After camping, Zhang He led a thousand cavalry, rode out of the camp, and headed towards the West City Gate.

"Will you meet Zhao Zilong for a while?"

When Wei Duan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly turned over and got on his horse, and then walked out of the camp with hundreds of personal soldiers and Zhang He's figure.

"I am Zhang He, the general of the Great Wei Protector, where is Zhao Zilong?"

Under the West City Gate, Zhang He was alone, riding a horse out of the military formation of the soldiers behind him, galloping wildly, the cloak behind him was raised, hunting and ringing, a gun in his hand, a horse in his crotch, a long roar and shouting, invincible: "Do you dare to fight with me?" ”

It's called a fighter.

At the head of the city, several division commanders of the Wu army were immediately furious, and Chang Shan shouted: "General, this fang is arrogant, I will personally behead his son!" ”

"You're no match for him!"

Zhao Yun's expression was calm, he smiled faintly, and said: "This person is also a fierce general who has practiced qi, although he is not as good as me, but he also has the qualifications to challenge me, I should personally meet him for a while!" ”

"Zhang He, a certain Zhao Yun is here, if you want to fight, why don't I accompany you to fight!"

The city gate opened, Zhao Yun rode out, the spear pointed, the momentum of the whole body exploded, there was a lot of people, the momentum of the world is invincible, cold and drunk.

"Fight!"

Zhang He and Zhao Zilong were born in Hebei, but he has always only asked Zhao Zilong's name, but not this person, when he was in Hebei, Zhao Zilong's only bright spot in the past was the battle of Jieqiao, but he did not participate in that battle.

He really wanted to know, what is the superiority of this second military general in the world?

"I will fulfill you!" Zhao Yunce came immediately and killed with a spear.

Bang Bang Bang!

Between the horses of the two, they clashed for nearly ten rounds, and they were all fierce generals who had practiced qi to become gang, and their energy was overflowing, as if forming a gang qi field.

"What a Zhao Zilong, worthy of being the second military general in the world, he really deserves his reputation!"

Zhang He took it when he saw it, rode his horse back ten steps, his eyes became more and more solemn, as soon as the expert made a move, he knew if there was any, Zhao Yun's martial arts were too much higher than him, at most a hundred rounds, he would inevitably be killed.

"Zhang He, the name of the Four Courtyard Pillars of Hebei is not false!" Zhao Yun didn't take the opportunity to pursue, stopped his horse, raised his spear, and said lightly: "If you want to kill you, you need to do more than a hundred moves, no wonder you have the courage to fight with me!" ”

Zhang He's martial arts are already good, if Zhang He is bent on escaping. If you don't fight to the death with him, he won't be able to kill Zhang He, and there is the main camp of the Wei army behind him, and there is not enough time.

"Hehe, if you Zhao Zilong say a word, this battle is not in vain!"

Zhang He's expression moved slightly. asked: "Today, I have a question in my heart, and I want to ask, where is General Cao Ren?" ”

"In Shangyong City, I treat him like a guest!"

Zhao Yun said lightly, he did capture Cao Ren alive.

"How can I release someone?" Zhang He squinted, and his tone was as calm as if he was discussing when he would be able to eat.

"If you can retire from Hanzhong, I will definitely release you!" Zhao Yun said in a deep voice.

"What if I don't quit?"

Zhang He said coldly.

"I'll cut him down and sacrifice the flag, and then fight to the death!" Zhao Yun raised his spear high. The voice was murderous and firm: "My Da Wu is determined to win Hanzhong, and those who stand in my way will be killed!" ”

"Then you kill him!"

Zhang He turned around and left, without a trace of mud and water, and the voice that came back was extremely resolute: "Zhao Zilong, I am the same as you, I only care about Hanzhong and drive you out of Hanzhong." It's my mission, I don't care about anyone's life or death! ”

"Then let's fight!"

Zhao Yun's eyes sank slightly. This time there was a tricky opponent.

After Zhang He rode his horse back to the camp, Wei Duan quickly caught up from behind, and said with some anger: "General Zhang, do you know what you are talking about, if General Cao dies because of this, I will definitely ask Your Majesty to join you!" ”

"Whatever you want!"

Zhang He said coldly: "But now I am the main general." The general who was personally appointed by His Majesty and the 30,000 soldiers of the Protector Army have all given orders to me, and anyone who does not obey the military orders will be killed without mercy! ”

"You?"

Wei Duan felt the thick murderous aura on Zhang He's body, and suddenly retreated with some fear.

"Someone. Immediately pass on my military order, and the generals above the captain level will immediately gather in the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss the war! Zhang He threw the spear to a personal soldier, and then said loudly.

"Yes!"

A few pro-soldiers on the left and right quickly went down to give orders.

Half an hour later, more than a dozen Wei generals gathered in Zhang He's main camp of the Chinese army, Zhang He's battle armor was puzzled, stood in the most battle column, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, now Shangyong City has been lost, for us, the war is unfavorable, and if we want to drive Zhao Yun out of Hanzhong, now we can only fight against the water!" ”

"General Zhang, shouldn't our first policy be to rescue General Cao first?" Wei Duan objected coldly.

"For me, the task I received from His Majesty is only to keep Hanzhong, so I only care about Hanzhong!"

Zhang He said in a deep voice: "General Cao Ren doesn't know whether he is alive or dead now, how to save him, but if we can defeat Zhao Zilong, if we can leave Zhao Zilong in Hanzhong, Your Majesty will not blame us!" ”

Wei Duan gritted his teeth and sat down, not speaking out against it, if Cao Ren could exchange for a Zhao Zilong, it would be a great achievement.

"Zhong Han!" Zhang He's eyes relaxed slightly, revealing a strong battle intent, and the starting point will be the release of the task.

"The last general!"

A lieutenant stepped forward.

"I order you, you lead 3,000 troops, and within three days, take the cold wind mouth seventy miles southeast of Shangyong!"

"Yes!"

"Fan Dong!"

Zhang He continued to point to the general.

"The last general!"

"You lead 3,000 troops, and in the same three days, take the heavy town here, and then set up defensive fortifications to fix this place to death!"

"Yes!"

Xiliang General Fan Dong nodded and waited for the order.

Zhang He's eyes swept over the generals, and said categorically: "Hanfengkou and Chonggu Town are the official road passes between Shangyong and Jingzhou, our first step, I want to completely break the connection between Shangyong and Jingzhou, there must be no mistake!" ”

"No!"

The generals nodded their heads.

"Also, immediately send a message to Zhang Lu of Nanzheng, tell him that I will force Zhao Yun into Hanzhong, and he can send troops!" Zhang He added: "Also, give Zhang Xiu an order to crush Lu Bu to death for me, I don't want to see Jingzhou reinforcements!" ”

"No!"

A few heralds took the order and left.

Zhang He raised his head slightly, looked into the distance, looked at Shangyong City in the distance, and the corners of his mouth outlined a playful smile: "Zhao Zilong, I'll cut off your back road first, just see if you have the guts, put yourself to death and then live!" (To be continued......)
