Chapter 212: Revenge for the Brother's Enemy
Looking at Zhang Ji's embarrassed appearance, Li Ji asked very puzzledly: "General Zhang, why are you so embarrassed?" ”
You must know that Liu Zhang only has 100,000 people, and Zhang Ji and Guo Yan combined, to say the least, there are 150,000 horses. It is not uncommon to be defeated by Liu Zhang, but it is a bit too much to be beaten miserably.
"Don't mention it!" Zhang Ji said helplessly: "When I received your order, I wanted to lead my troops to support General Guo." Unexpectedly, Ma Teng and Han Sui moved again. Mr. Jia left my nephew and 50,000 elites to resist Ma and Han. I had just walked out of Xiping when I was attacked by someone. The person who came was holding a Zhangba snake spear, it should be Zhang Fei! Good guys, that's fierce! ”
Hearing Zhang Ji say this, Li Ji was relieved. In the case of equal forces, Zhang Ji and Guo Yan are indeed not Liu Zhang's opponents. Li Wei smiled and said: "General Zhang doesn't have to be annoyed, now that the two of us have 130,000 horses, then Liu Zhang must not be our opponent!" ”
"The last general is at the disposal of General Li!" Zhang Ji hurriedly expressed his position.
Li Wei said with great satisfaction: "General Zhang doesn't have to be like this, you and I belong to the same family, and we are robes, so we have something to discuss!" ”
"How dare the last general be on par with the general? In the past, under the command of Dong Xiang, the position of the general was higher than that of the last general, and now the general is the pillar of the imperial court, and the last general should be the head of the general! Zhang Ji looked resolute, and he didn't see the slightest flaw.
"Good!" Li Dao was originally testing Zhang Ji, and seeing that Zhang Ji was so humble, Li Dao smiled and said: "General Zhang will go back to the headquarters to mobilize people first, and we will go to Yangping Pass to rescue General Guo Ji!" ”
"The last general obeys!" Zhang Ji strode away.
Li Dao looked at Zhang Ji's back, and an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. No matter how obedient the dog is, once it has the power to threaten its owner, it must be removed. Now that Zhang Ji's strength is on par with Li Dao, how can Li Dao tolerate him? Soon, the army of Li Dao and Zhang Ji drove to Yangping Pass.
The two armies faced each other, and Li Dao smiled at Zhang Ji beside him: "General Zhang, do you know that when I was in Chang'an, I once received a report that you had taken refuge in the champion Hou. Of course, I don't believe it anymore! But shouldn't you do something to prove your innocence? ”
"This..."Zhang Ji asked, "What does General Li want me to do?" ”
"Now that I am in front of Yangping Pass, I naturally hope that General Zhang will go and call for battle!" Li Ji was full of smiles, but Zhang Ji was cold in his heart.
"General Li, the general under Liu Zhang, how can the generals under my command resist it?" Zhang Ji's face was cold, but Li Ji didn't seem to see it.
"General Zhang, I heard that Ling's nephew is a disciple of the spear Tong Yuan, presumably your uncle is not bad, so it is better for you to try it yourself. I have heard that you are another fierce general under Dong Xiang after General Huaxiong! "Li Ji deliberately borrowed a knife to kill people, and he will not spare Zhang Ji! Seeing that Zhang Ji was about to refuse, Li Dao's corporal soldiers faintly surrounded Zhang Ji.
"Good! I'll go! Zhang Ji looked at Li Dao viciously, and rode out with a knife. A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, and he may not die if he goes up to challenge, but if he refuses, Li Dao will definitely not spare him. Originally, Zhang Ji was still a little guilty about deceiving Li Dao. Now, Zhang Ji can't wait to dig a pit for Li Dao to jump.
"Huh?" Seeing Zhang Ji fighting, Liu Zhang frowned and said, "It seems that something has changed!" Zilong, go up and capture Zhang Ji alive, don't hurt him! ”
"Yes!" Zhao Yun jumped on the horse with a spear, rushed towards Zhang Ji, and captured Zhang Ji over the horse with just one combination. Of course, this is also because Zhang Ji only made a slight resistance.
"Retreat!" Seeing that Zhang Ji was captured, Li Ji immediately ordered a retreat.
"No!" Adjutant General Zhang Ji stopped Li Dao and said, "General Li, General Zhang has been captured, please save him!" ”
"I'll save it!" Li Dao gave Li Xian a look, and Li Xian cut Deputy General Zhang Ji off his horse with a knife.
"Li Dao, I swear to you!" Zhang Ji, who was tied aside by Zhao Yun, watched his cronies and vice generals be killed by Li Dao, with a hideous face.
"Don't be angry, Li Zhiran won't live long!" Liu Zhang shook his head, if Li Dao hadn't killed his brother, he would never have fought with Li Dao, it would be too embarrassing! has reached this critical moment of life and death, and he still wants to annex other people's troops, Liu Zhang doesn't know how to praise Li Dao.
After retreating twenty miles with his troops, Li Dao immediately ordered Li Xian to take people to subdue Zhang Ji's 50,000 horses. Li Xian was just about to make an action, but he noticed that there seemed to be soldiers and horses marching not far away.
"Uncle, look ahead, there seems to be a large number of people!" Li Xian said with some worry: "Could it be Liu Zhang's ambush?" ”
"Impossible!" Li Dao frowned and said: "Although we will meet Zhang Ji first before sending troops to Yangping Pass, it is absolutely impossible to bypass us and ambush here!" Pass the order: Prepare for war! ”
"Zhang... Zhang Xiu?! Seeing the comer, Li Dao's uncle and nephew were stunned.
Suddenly, Li Dao cried and said, "General Zhang, you came just in time, your uncle was arrested by Zhao Yun under Yangping Pass!" We were outnumbered and had to retreat. Let's join forces and go and rescue General Zhang Ji! ”
"That's right! General Zhang, let's join forces and go to Yangping Pass again! Seeing that Li Dao's face changed so quickly, Li Xian was stunned for a moment.
"No need!" Zhang Xiu said lightly: "Champion Hou is almost here!" I am commanded to stop you here! ”
"What?" Li Ji finally understood that Zhang Ji had really surrendered to the enemy. He said viciously, "Good! What a Zhang Ji, what a Zhang embroidery! Zhang Xiu, do you dare to fight me? ”
"How dare you! General Li is a general under Dong Xiang, and he is also the great Sima and general of the chariot cavalry of the imperial court, how can I be qualified to fight you? My mission is to drag you here, and someone will fight you. Zhang Xiu suffered a big loss on Guo Yan and almost gave his life. He is not stupid, how could he fight with Li Dao, a fierce general whose ranking is still above Guo Yan.
"You..." Zhang Xiu, known as the king of guns in the north, didn't dare to fight with him, Li Dao suddenly reacted. He couldn't help asking, "Could it be that General Guo Yan was also killed by your uncle and nephew?" ”
"Guo Aduo's martial arts are really good, it's hard for him to keep pretending to be a wine bag and rice bag, he almost killed our uncle and nephew!" Zhang Xiu sneered: "The same mistake, do you think I will make it twice?" ”
"Humph! Try! Li Dao said coldly: "Li Xian, pass the order, the whole army charges!" ”
"Yes!" Li Xian waved the command flag, and Li Dao took the lead in rushing towards Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu also waved his troops forward, but he did not rush towards Li Dao, but killed the rebel army. More than 200,000 people fought together on the plains near Chang'an, and in order to defeat Zhang Xiu's army as soon as possible, Li Dao and Li Xian kept chasing Zhang Xiu.
As for why there are 100,000 troops under Zhang Xiu's command, it is naturally Zhang Ji's headquarters and Guo Yan's 50,000 troops. In addition to the 50,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people brought by Zhang Ji to fool Li Dao, Liu Zhang handed over the rest of the soldiers and horses to Zhang Xiu's command.
You must know that most of the Xiliang soldiers are foreigners. Anyway, they are neither their own soldiers nor Han Chinese, and they don't feel distressed no matter how much they die. In order to defeat Li Dao, Liu Zhang prepared a big gift.
"Boom..."The drums rumbled on the battlefield, masking the sound of the army marching, in fact, Liu Zhang had been leading his troops to follow behind Li Dao, just to prevent Li Dao from finding out, so he stood farther away. When Li Dao and Zhang Xiu fought, Liu Zhang ordered a quick march.
"Uncle, we are surrounded!" Fighting, Li Xian felt that something was wrong.
Originally, Zhang Xiujun's army was about to be defeated. But now, there are not only more and more troops fighting with Li Dao's troops, but also many infantry joining, and the combat effectiveness of these infantry is comparable to that of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Of course, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under Li Dao has lost its momentum. What made Li Xian even more frightened was that there were several generals who came and went in the Xiliang army, and it was like entering a no-man's land.
"Siam, break through with me!" Seeing the several generals rushing towards him, Li Dao almost cried in fright. Li Xian didn't know those people, but Li Dao knew! Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, none of them can be dealt with by Li Dao!
Hearing Li Dao's order, Li Xian immediately rushed towards Chang'an with him, but in that direction, only Zhang Xiu defended. Li Dao was not in the mood to kill Zhang Xiu, so he took Li Xian to break through the siege and flee in the wilderness.
Without Li Wei's command, the Xiliang army was quickly defeated. Looking at the defeated army of Xiliang all over the mountains, Liu Zhang ordered Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu to gather the remnants of the army, and asked Zhang Fei to inspect everywhere, and if they found that there were defeated soldiers in Xiliang and killed the people, they would all be killed! Then Liu Zhang led Guan Yu and others to approach Chang'an!
When Li Dao and Li Xian fled back to Chang'an, there were only 800 guards left around them, but when they arrived in Chang'an, they immediately heard an unfortunate news: "Liu Xie has run away!" However, Li Dao can't take care of Liu Xie anymore. He immediately ordered Li Shi to lead his troops back to Chang'an, and ordered Li Huan to close the four gates of Chang'an, and recruit the people to defend the city!
When Liu Zhang's troops approached the city of Chang'an, Li Dao was ready. Looking at the people of Chang'an on the wall, Liu Zhang did not order the siege of the city, but asked the army to surround the four gates of Chang'an. Seeing Liu Zhang's division of troops, Li Dao was slammed in his heart, and he could see that Liu Zhang was preparing to consume him!
At the head of Chang'an City, Li Dao invited Liu Zhang out, and said with a flattering face: "Champion Hou, although I killed your two brothers, I also helped you, why do you want to kill them all?" As long as you promise not to kill me, I will surrender immediately and sacrifice Chang'an! ”
"Really?" Liu Zhang sneered: "Send General Guo Yan back to Chang'an!" ”
A dozen pawns came out carrying a large urn covered with a red cloth and carried it all the way to the city. Li Dao didn't know what it was, so he asked the little colonel to hang the big urn on the city.
"Guo Yan!" Lifting the red cloth covering the big urn, Li Wei swallowed his saliva, in the big urn was Guo Yan, and he was still alive Guo Yan, but he was only alive. I saw that Guo Yan's tongue, eyes, ears, and limbs were all gone, his body was stuffed in a large urn, and only one head was exposed, and he had been cut into a human stick by Liu Zhang!
"Liu Jiyu, you dare to do this!" Although Guo Yan once fought with Li Dao for power and profit, they were also once comrades, seeing Guo Bi being made like this by Liu Zhang, Li Dao was inevitably sad that the rabbit died and the fox died!
