Lu Bu stepped forward, and Dian Wei stepped back, but his eyes were still staring at Xu Rong, and he would not have the slightest good look at anyone who disrespected Zhang Chao.

After Lu Bu stood in front of Xu Rong to ensure that no one would attack his friend, he hugged his fist at Zhang Chao and said: "The Lord Rongrong, the reason why General Xu agreed to surrender is because the last general promised him one thing first, that is, he can ensure that his relatives in Chang'an City are free of worries. General Xu also said that if this cannot be guaranteed, I will let him go. For the last general, without consent, he agreed to make his own decisions and asked the lord to punish him. ”

As he spoke, Lu Bu changed from standing to half-kneeling and knelt in front of Zhang Chao.

To say that Lu Bu at this time knows the rules very well, even if he was in front of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo before, he rarely looked like this.

Xu Rong saw all this, and he was a little surprised how such an unruly person could change in such a short period of time. Who is this so-called lord, and why does he have no imprint?

Zhang Chao sat there and never spoke. It wasn't until he heard Lu Bu explain everything that he nodded and said, "General Lu, please get up." Even if you want to join my Zhang Chao's camp, it is naturally my brother, and I should keep his family safe, even if you don't promise, I will do it. General Xu, you can tell me the address of your home, and I will immediately arrange for the people in Chang'an City to protect and transfer. ”

Regarding Lu Bu's failure to report the matter, Zhang Chao did not mean to be angry. In his opinion, it makes sense that the monarch's order will not be granted, after all, the fighters are ever-changing, sometimes they are fleeting, and if everything is reported, then there will be no good opportunities.

Zhang Chao did not get angry, but promised to protect his family. Lu Bu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, so he turned to Xu Rong behind him and said, "Don't hurry up and thank the lord for his kindness." ”

"Well, thank you, Lord... The grace of the Lord. Xu Rong was instigated by Lu Bu, and immediately knelt on the ground and clenched his fists.

"Hey, General Xu doesn't have to be like this, I know it's a little difficult for you to call me lord now, so when you see your family safely, it's not too late to call. Now it's better to call me General Zhang. Zhang Chao smiled, he would not be really satisfied because of someone else's title. Respect comes from the bottom of your heart, not from the bottom of your mind.

Hearing that Zhang Chao was so understanding, Xu Rong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At least now it seems that Lu Bu did not lie to him, although this lord is a little younger, he is still very reasonable.

After pacifying Xu Rong, Zhang Chao said to Lu Bu: "After a while, Feng will first find a clean military tent for General Xu and his personal soldiers, and then eat good wine and food, rest first, and wait for me to have new news on my side." ”

"No." Lu Bu responded with a fist clenched, then turned around and left happily with Xu Rong and the others. There was still a bound Niu Fu lying there with his head bowed in the military tent.

"Lord, how to solve this person, is he killing people now?" As soon as Dian Wei stretched out his hand, he lifted Niu Fu up, and then asked Zhang Chao for instructions.

"Don't be in a hurry, take it down and watch it." Zhang Chao waved his hand and didn't say that he would kill Niu Fu immediately, but this person's fate seemed to be doomed.

There was silence again in the military room, as if nothing had happened just now. But in fact, Zhang Chao did know that the two strategists were thinking of ideas in their hearts, which could be seen from their contemplative attitudes.

Although Zhang Chao is a little resourceful, he must say that he is more shrewd than these two people, which is an exaggeration. He just knows some historical trends and who is the most talented. Therefore, what he needs to grasp is the general direction, and as for the specific details and methods, it is up to these brain-strong strategists to think about it.

Seeing that the two military advisors were in deep thought, Zhang Chao crossed Erlang's legs and drank tea leisurely, as if these things had nothing to do with him.

It wasn't until about half an hour had passed that Zhang Chao noticed that Jia Xu and Li Ru began to mumble. He didn't ask much, knowing that the two strategists had an idea, and once the plan was ripe, it was natural to report that he knew.

Sure enough. After another quarter of an hour, the two strategists stopped talking, and then turned their eyes to Zhang Chao's body.

"Huh, two? But if you have any good ideas, come, tell me about them. Zhang Chao smiled, his eyes swirling on Jia Xu and Li Ru. He had already seen the hope of entering Chang'an City from the confident face of the other party.

...... ......

This is the third day of the battle, and Sun Jian is fighting very hard here.

To say that Guo Yan is a member of Dong Zhuojun's tiger generals, if the command is determined and orderly, it is very difficult for Sun Jian, who does not have an advantage in troops, to resist.

This is also thanks to the fact that the terrain he chose is a high mountain, and he can use the high potential to resist the right bow and arrow, otherwise, I am afraid that the loss will only be even greater.

"General, this won't work. These Xiliang soldiers are so brave, and nearly half of the Jiangdong soldiers we brought have been killed or wounded. After organizing the manpower to repel a wave of enemy attacks, the general Cheng Pu came to Sun Jian to complain.

For three days in a row, Guo Yan took 7,000 Xiliang soldiers and constantly launched attacks on the hill, and the two sides fought from distance to close combat, and in the far battle, there were often thousands of troops lost in a day.

Now, three days have passed, and Sun Jian's unit, which originally had only 5,000 men and horses, has 15,600 killed in the battle, and thousands of people have been wounded. Seeing that even half of the people who can fight can't reach it, how can Cheng Pu not be in a hurry, these are all hometown people, and if anyone can't go back, it's all the sadness of a family.

The situation is so tragic, how can Sun Jian not know? But what is he going to do at this point? Do you want to quit or withdraw your troops? Maybe it would be okay to replace it with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, but he would never do such a thing.

"I've heard that they've only brought food for five days, and once the food and grass run out, it's time for us to fight back." At this time, Sun Jian could only comfort his subordinates like this. Of course, he didn't expect that Dong Zhuo's army would have such a capable battle as Guo Yan.

In fact, in history, Guo Yan is also a tiger general, who has defeated Ma Teng and Han Sui. also tossed Emperor Han Xian a lot.

Because of his courage and lack of strategy, he was finally killed by his subordinate Wu Xi. And now this Wu Xi is also his footsteps, and he is also the vanguard general who attacked Sun Jian's department.

thought that Xu Rong could defeat Sun Jian, this person must not be very powerful, so as soon as he made a move, Guo Yan arranged for Wu Xi to continue to attack, wanting to take Sun Jian down in one fell swoop with the help of the superiority of troops, so as to prove that he was stronger than Xu Rong.

Unexpectedly, this Sun Jian was still a hard bone, and after gnawing for three days, he still didn't take it down, but lost a lot of soldiers. From the original 7,000 soldiers, it has become more than 3,000 now.

With more than half of the dead and wounded, Guo Yan also had a plan to retreat. After all, if the fight continues, I am afraid that there is not enough food to eat, and most of them will be entangled by Sun Jian, in that case, it will be endless.

Guo Yan, who had never thought that he was going to fight Sun Jian here, instructed the general Wu Xi to slow down after the onslaught for a day, and retreat tomorrow to see if the situation is not good.

A day of bloody fighting is finally over. After the other party arranged some eyeliner on the opposite side to prevent the other party from stealing the camp, they all rested. After all, after a day's battle, it would be false to say that you are not tired.

Guo Yan is the same, although only on the first day of the three days, he went to the battlefield to command for a while, but as the main general, he still bothered to brain, and at night, his spirit finally relaxed, so he decided to take a good rest.

However, what Guo Yan didn't know was that this would be the last night of his life, and he had no future.

The armies on both sides seemed to be very quiet at night, and there would be a heavy sound of beating, which could be heard far away. And accompanied by a loud voice, an unknown number of cavalry was slowly approaching the Guo Yan military camp camped at the bottom of the mountain by the moonlight.

As the general of Dong Zhuojun, Guo Yan did not know how to arrange eyeliner to prevent the robbery of the camp. It's a pity that most of his people are arranged on Sun Jianjun's side, and the other party is on the mountain, so it is impossible to bypass it no matter what.

A moment of carelessness allowed these cavalry to enter the camp tent 800 meters away, and then it was discovered.

"Someone...", a Xiliang sentry who was standing on the guard on a big tree finally spotted the cavalry, and he wanted to open his mouth to shout, but an arrow feather had already pierced through the air and was passing through his mouth, and he had only to say half a sentence before he fell from the tree.

"Shoot the arrows." Seeing that he had been discovered, after the white-clothed general who led the team shouted, he led people straight up, and for a while, thousands of arrows were fired, and bows and arrows still carrying fire oil began to shoot towards the military tent.

"Someone hijacked the camp!" At this time, even those whose brains were slow to react noticed that something was wrong, and groups of Xiliang soldiers came out of the camp in a disheveled panic, and most of them still couldn't figure out what was going on.

"What's going on? Guo Yan also hurriedly put on his armor and walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army, and when he saw Wu Xi, a general running over, he hurriedly asked.

"General, someone should have come to rob the camp, but they came around from behind us, and the soldiers on duty did not react in time." Wu Xi said this all because those who robbed the camp only fired arrows from a distance, and did not really rush over, so he did not know the details.

"Camp robbery? Or rushed from behind? Could it be that the enemy's reinforcements failed? Hearing this, Guo Yan had already thought of a possibility, so he said to Wu Xi on the side: "Quick, pass the order, withdraw quickly, don't be wrapped in dumplings and it's over." ”
