But now, Zhang Liao went to the land of military rations, and Wen Chou and Dian Wei went to the south gate to chase Zhang Xiu. Now there are no soldiers to defend the west and north gates. He also had to give up his current task of guarding the east gate and head north.

Zhang He's idea was that even if his army was killed from the East City Gate, then Liu Bei's army would not choose here even if he fled.

This idea is correct, that is, Zhuge Liang did not think of killing from outside the East City Gate, he chose the West City Gate.

When he was besieged before, Zhuge Liang made a plan, once the city was broken, Zhang Fei was killed from the west city gate, Zhang Xiu was killed from outside the south city gate, Zhang Bao was killed from outside the north city gate, and he himself was killed from the east city gate. At that time, who can escape depends on luck.

In this regard, Zhang Xiu agreed. Xu Rong died at his hands, and he didn't think that Zhang Chao's army could spare himself. And if he breaks through like this, although he also has some pressure, at least he has a chance to escape.

What he is most afraid of is that Zhuge Liang will break through with them, in this case, the enemy army will bite in the back, and it is likely that he will become an abandoned pawn at a critical time.

In other words, if everyone walks together, the forces will cause Zhang Chao's army to pursue, in that case, Zhang Xiu's survival rate will be very low. But this division of troops to break through is indeed all luck, and he agrees.

It's just that what Zhang Xiu didn't know was that after Zhuge Liang made a decision and he returned to the mansion, the military advisor called Zhang Fei and Zhang Bao back again, and made a new plan, that is, Zhang Xiu's plan to go from the south city gate remains unchanged, and Zhang Fei and Zhang Bao don't have to divide their troops to break through, but go with him through the west city gate.

Obviously, this is Zhuge Liang giving up Zhang Xiu.

This is also unavoidable. Zhuge Liang knew very well how much the generals in Zhang Chao's group hated Xu Rong's death, it can be said that if this person did not die, these people would keep chasing them, and even if he fled back to Yizhou, he was afraid that he would bring the army to his own territory.

In order to be able to stop Zhang Chaojun's anger and to be able to escape and ascend to life, Zhuge Liang had to give up Zhang Xiu. In exchange for everyone's peace with the death of one person, it is worth it.

Zhang Xiu was originally added to Liu Bei's army later, and he was only entrusted with important tasks because of his strong force. But at the end of the day, it's not the kind that is fully believed. After hearing Zhuge Liang's analysis, Zhang Fei and Zhang Bao's father and son also acquiesced to this fact.

After all, Zhuge Liang did this for their good. If they really split up their troops, who knows what kind of situation they will encounter, and whether they will be so lucky?

As a result, Zhang Xiu was sold. But he didn't know it. As soon as he saw that the city gate was broken, and after receiving Zhuge Liang's order to divide his troops to break through, he took the 20,000 soldiers and horses of his headquarters to the south gate.

The south of Chang'an City is Yizhou, and from this aspect alone, Zhang Xiu still thanked Zhuge Liang in his heart, thinking that this is the other party who has left the best vitality to himself.

Zhang Xiu led 20,000 soldiers out of the south gate very smoothly. He couldn't help laughing out loud under the city, in his opinion, as long as he got out of Chang'an City, the sky was high and the birds could fly, and the sea was wide and the fish jumped, and it would be even more difficult for Zhang Chao's army to catch him.

"Zhang Xiuxiaoer, where to escape, Wen Chou is here." When Zhang Xiu was still complacent, countless cavalry suddenly rushed behind him, and then an angry shout came out.

"Oh no, the enemy is coming." After hearing this, Zhang Xiu hurriedly ordered the army to speed up.

Wen Chou took the main force of a legion and chased after him. And after that, Dian Wei and Yan Liang of the Sixth Army also chased them out.

"Let's go around from the side and intercept Zhang Xiu." Dian Wei did not follow Wen Chou's side, but ran to the side with the main force of the Sixth Legion.

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

At the west city gate, Zhuge Liang joined Zhang Fei and Zhang Bao's father and son army here.

"Let's go." Glancing at Chang'an City, which was already a sea of fire behind him, Zhuge Liang shook his head lightly and got into the carriage.

"Let's go." Zhang Bao shouted loudly on the side with a spear, and then led the army out from here. Zhang Fei stayed, he believed that Zhang Chaojun would definitely pursue him here, and he stayed here to play a blocking role.

Soon after Zhang Fei was only waiting in front of the city gate with 2,000 soldiers, Gao Gan, the deputy commander of the Fourth Legion, arrived with a group of cavalry.

As soon as the two met, they fought together without saying a word.

Chang'an City was broken, and Zhang Fei had to flee in embarrassment, which made him accumulate a strong resentment in his heart, and now he is working with Gao Gan, which is the moment when he releases his anger.

Gao Gan, although he is also a tiger general, when he served for Yuan Shao, he was also a general. But when facing Zhang Fei, a 10,000-strong enemy, he was still a little less than a little cold, and the two only fought for thirty rounds, and his weapon was knocked away, so he had to retreat with his soldiers to find other reinforcements.

Zhang Fei, who was defeated by Gao Gan, did not chase after him, although he wanted to do so, but he knew that once he returned to Chang'an City, he was afraid that he would be more than lucky, and at that time, facing many tiger generals under Zhang Chao, I was afraid that even he would be difficult to escape.

"Let's go." After defeating Gao Gan, the back road was worry-free for the time being, and Zhang Fei took two thousand soldiers to the west city gate.

Waiting for Gao Gan to find Zhang He, when the two of them came to the West City Gate together, where was Zhang Fei's shadow.

"Commander, what should I do?" Gao Gan asked with some weakness. After all, it was he who lost to Zhang Fei, which allowed him to escape.

"Chase." Zhang He didn't want to sit back and watch with such an opportunity, but after hesitating for a while, he made a decision. And for the sake of safety, he ordered one of his own soldiers to inform the lord of the matter here. With him alone, that is, he can entangle Zhang Fei and himself, and it is very difficult to kill him.

After everything was done, Zhang He and Gao Gan immediately went out of the city gate with 10,000 light soldiers. Such a pursuit technique, or the cavalry came quickly, and bringing the infantry would not have much effect.

"What? Zhang Fei escaped from the West City Gate? Is there any news of Zhuge Liang? Zhang Chao, who had just entered Chang'an from the East City Gate, felt bad when he saw the soldiers sent by Zhang He.

Although Zhang Chao wanted to kill Zhuge Liang, he did know that with the wisdom of this person, he was afraid that this goal would be difficult to achieve.

In the entire Chang'an City, there are still 70,000 enemies, although Zhang Chao has four legions, but after the siege of the city in the past few days, he has also lost nearly 200,000, and now the available troops are only less than 330,000.

With these people, if they are only blocked in one place, they can win. It's just that God knows which gate Zhuge Liang will leave from?

Unable to gather the main forces in one place, and unable to guess Zhuge Liang's way out of the city, Zhang Chao decided to enter the city first, and then occupy the four city gates to see if he could catch turtles in an urn.

The idea is beautiful, and Zhang Chao himself doesn't have much confidence. Now it seems that Zhang Fei has fled, and Zhuge Liang has no trace, if his expectations are correct, this person should have evacuated from the West City Gate with him.

"General Zhang has chased him out of Xiliang with the deputy commander General Gao, and I am here to report back to the lord." The pro-name fell to his knees and did not dare to raise his head to speak.

"Okay, I got it. Where is Zhongkang? Zhang Chao nodded, he made a decision, that is, he must catch up with Zhuge Liang and kill him, so that this battle will be the most perfect result.

"The end will be." The head of the guard, Xu Chu, clenched his fists and said.

"I'll give you 5,000 cavalry of Zhang's army now, remember, coming out of the west gate and joining up with General Zhang He, Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang will definitely be intercepted." Zhang Chao had a heavy tone in his voice.

"No." Xu Chu agreed, and then looked at the several iron guards beside him and said, "Tie One, Tie II, Tie III, Tie Four, the safety of the lord will be handed over to you." ”

"Don't worry, as long as we are alive, we will not let anyone hurt the lord." The captains of the four guards all clenched their fists in agreement.

"Let's go!" Xu Chu nodded to the four Iron Guard captains, the strength of these four people is extremely strong, even if the four of them fight together, he will be an opponent before he finishes. In them, Zhang Chao's safety should be worry-free. Only then did he rest assured that he ordered 5,000 Zhang's army to light the enemy, and then rushed to the outside of the West City Gate.

"Hopefully, it's in time." Seeing Xu Chu leave with his troops, Zhang Chao muttered to himself.

......

Outside the South City Gate, Zhang Xiu was running desperately with the army.

Behind him was General Wenchou with 10,000 cavalry. Their pursuit was already seven or eight miles away, and he originally had some infantry with him, but they all fell behind because of their poor foot strength.

Zhang Xiu fled, looking back at the pursuers behind him. He didn't have all the cavalry, three-quarters of them were infantry, and now the fifteen thousand men were left behind, surrendered, or killed.

It's just that Zhang Xiu doesn't care about this. As long as he can escape, as for these ordinary soldiers, as long as they have money, they can still be re-recruited after returning to Yizhou.

"Humph! If you want to chase me, don't be delusional. Zhang Xiu, who was at least two miles ahead, was full of confidence, and such a distance did not mean that he could catch up with him.

Zhang Xiu was still complacent, thinking that he had escaped and ascended to heaven, but he suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing in front of him, and then he saw Dian Wei, who was under the banner of the Sixth Legion, suddenly appeared with nearly 3,000 cavalry.

"Not good!" Seeing that another enemy army suddenly came out, Zhang Xiu's shocked eyes hurriedly looked to the side.

On the left side of it is an avenue with no shelter, and if you escape from there, the possibility of escaping is too small. On the far right, there are patches of dense forests, and when you enter them, you can leave the complex environment.
