Chapter 498 The Special Forces are showing their might
What kind of character Zhang Chao is, that is a character who even Yuan Shao is words to be destroyed, how can such a person be so easy to deal with.
According to Li Yuan's meaning, what should be done to Zhang Chao is to surrender, even if it is superficial surrender, pay tribute year after year, and then exchange for a reassuring King Yong, how beautiful it is, why do you have to be an enemy?
Li Yuan couldn't figure out what Dong Zhuo thought. It's just that as a general in the army, even if the lord has a mission, he only needs to carry it out.
It was true, and that didn't stop him from slowing down his march, and he thought to himself that maybe there would be some turnaround.
What Li Yuan didn't know was that the turning point was indeed coming, Guan Yu was seriously injured, and abandoned Yongzhou and fled back to Yizhou after being seriously injured, this news was just learned by Dong Zhuo. As soon as he got the news, he sent a fast horse to Li Yuan's department and ordered him to quickly lead his troops to join him.
Even a fierce general like Guan Yu is not the opponent of Zhang Chao's army, what problem can a Li Yuan solve.
It's just that the communication at that time was really underdeveloped, and once this order came out, it would take two days to reach Li Yuan at the earliest, which was still based on the slow pace of this army's march. If it was faster, I am afraid that they should all arrive under Chang'an City by now.
Li Yuan didn't know that Guan Yu, as an ally, had been defeated, and he was still sending people to Chang'an City to inquire about the news, he wanted to see Guan Yu take the lead in killing, in that case, the victory and defeat would be divided. At that time, whether he should cooperate with Liu Bei's army to attack the city, or retreat when the opportunity is not good, he can completely decide by himself.
With such a thought, the speed of the army was not fast, and it took a few days before Tola came to the city of Jingyang, and at this moment the city gate had already been opened, and a team of guards stationed in the city were welcoming him.
Dong Zhuo suddenly raised heavy troops to Xiliang, in order to achieve his goal, he basically exhausted the troops of all counties and counties in Yongzhou, which made the lords of other counties feel a great danger.
In addition, Zhang Chao suddenly led a large army, and they were even more panicked, and they didn't even know that they were Dong Zhuo's generals today, but who would become the master tomorrow.
In such a nervous mood, General Li Yuan suddenly led an army of 100,000 into the city, how could this not make the Dong Zhuo officials who stayed in Jingyang happy? During the war years, there were so many garrisons in the city that there was at least a great sense of security.
Li Yuan's arrival was warmly welcomed by some of the officials left behind in the city and the rich people in the city, and he had a kind of idea of falling into the gentle countryside and not wanting to leave.
Originally, Li Yuan, who was supposed to move forward after only being stationed here for a day, stayed for another day on the grounds that there were bandits in the city.
In one Jingyang City, 100,000 troops stayed for two days, how could such an army increase the speed of marching, and how could it fight a tough battle and win a battle?
The messenger sent by Dong Zhuo is coming quickly, if there is no accident, it can be arrived the next day, at that time Li Yuan will retreat the army, so that the strength will be gathered again into an army of 400,000, which is not a small strength.
But no one expected that on this night, the situation would change abruptly.
Because it was on the night of that day, just after the hour, two hundred black-clothed people appeared outside the temporary mansion where Li Yuan lived.
As soon as they appeared, they entered the mansion like lightning, and then it was just a simple fight, and General Li Yuan, who was lying on the bed with a beautiful woman in his arms, was captured alive.
How many counties is Jingyang City separated from Chang'an? Li Yuan never imagined that he would encounter the enemy here, so naturally the direction of the guard was not strengthened. It was even more negligence that directly caused the current situation of being captured.
The captured Li Yuan was kneeling on the ground shirtless at the moment, with men in black holding knives on both sides, and a very sturdy man staring at him on the other side, it seemed that he was the head of these men in black.
In fact, this person is Zhang Lin, the deputy captain of the Zhang family's special forces.
Zhang Lin was also an orphan who was taken in by Zhang Chao in Chenliu. In the later training, he showed strong individual combat ability and super high physical coordination, and was transferred to the Zhangjia Special Army, and later became the deputy captain after hard work.
This time, the operation was led by him, codenamed Capture the King.
It means that Li Yuan will be captured first, and all kinds of information have shown that although this person has some ability, he is indeed extremely afraid of death, as long as he controls it, he may be able to use it.
Li Yuan knelt on the ground, feeling the murderous aura in the entire room, and his face was already pale with fright. Now looking at Zhang Lin standing in front of him, he couldn't stop knocking his head to the ground and said: "A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life, as long as he can not kill me, he can do anything." ”
Although Li Yuan is afraid of death, he is not stupid. can quietly kill his own soldiers, and then appear in front of him, how can this be done by ordinary people? In the face of such a person, he will not have any power to fight back, but only good cooperation, or he can save his life.
"Li Yuan, are you still very interesting? Even so, as long as you cooperate with us, you can get a life, and even give you a sum of money after the deed is completed, so that you can live for a long time. Zhang Lin's voice said unhurriedly, but invisibly, it did carry a power that people couldn't refuse.
"Yes, I'm fully cooperative, fully cooperative." Li Yuan can do anything in order to survive at this time.
Li Yuan was very cooperative, and soon after, Zhang Lin's subordinates put on the uniforms of their own soldiers and appeared in front of the east gate of Jingyang City, showing their warrants.
The east gate of the city was opened, and soon after, a large number of cavalry entered, and then the four cities were closed, and the 100,000 soldiers led by Li Yuan were captured like this, and it was Huang Zhong, the commander of the second army, who led the troops into the city.
In the name of escorting grain and grass, Huang Zhong led the 100,000 troops of the main force of the Second Army to avoid the reconnaissance of other spies and came to Chang'an City.
On the surface, Huang Zhong only took less than 30,000 people, but in fact, most of them were hiding in the grain carts, which could be regarded as secretly crossing Chen Cang.
Huang Zhong came here and got the task of dealing with the reinforcements sent to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo's army in the northwest.
Zhang Chao immediately surrounded Chang'an and began to attack, so he naturally thought of all kinds of possibilities, sending Lu Bu to block Guan Yu and sending Huang Zhong to block Li Yuan were actually the same task. The difference is only the requirement for the result.
Lu Bu was there to ask for defeat and heavy damage to Guan Yu's army.
Huang Zhong is here to ask for the capture of Li Yuan and the victory at the lowest cost.
When he got the task at first, Huang Zhong was still a little embarrassed, he only brought 100,000 people, and the other party was also 100,000 people, how difficult it was to capture the enemy's main general alive and end the battle at the lowest cost.
Fortunately, at a critical time, his son Huang Xu stood up and recommended the deputy captain Zhang Lin to his father, and said that as long as he was well prepared, this task would not be difficult to complete.
Huang Zhong, who was originally skeptical, didn't believe it very much, but just held the idea of treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor. But when he entered Jingyang City bloodlessly and captured all the 100,000 enemy troops here, he had to admire the Zhangjia Special Army in his heart.
Although this army is not large in number, it can often exert ten times or even more energy when it is well prepared.
Li Yuan was captured, and all his 100,000 troops surrendered. After Huang Zhong completed the task with a high standard, he raised his troops and went to Xiliang, and all the cities he passed through were wide open and surrendered early. Even for the words of many county leaders in the city, there is a sense of relief.
Originally, when Dong Zhuo led his heavy troops to Xiliang, they were worried every day, for fear that they didn't know when Zhang Chao's army would arrive. Now, it's finally time for this day, but the tension can be let go.
With obstacles all the way, Huang Zhong led the army to Jincheng County in the realm of Xiliang, and at the same time cut off Dong Zhuo's retreat.
This news was also quickly reported to Dong Zhuojun's tent, who was living in the city.
"What?" At this moment, Fa Zheng, who had been unfazed and steady as Mount Tai, stood up first.
Fa Zheng was really anxious, this scene was in the eyes of Dong Zhuo, who was sitting at the top of the list, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes and think of all kinds of possibilities.
In the past, although Fa Zheng stayed in his military camp, God knows if this person really wanted to help him? Now that the back road is intercepted, the two of them are equivalent to grasshoppers on the same rope, if he Dong Zhuo is in danger, presumably this Fazheng will not be much better.
In fact, Fa Zheng is also worried about this.
At the beginning, he chose to stay by Dong Zhuo's side, he wanted to play the role of leading this army. After all, Zhang Chao is too strong, and it is difficult to defeat Liu Bei alone, but with Dong Zhuo's 500,000 army, it is different, it is equivalent to more infinite help, plus Cao Cao is holding back part of the main force of Zhang Chao's army in the Central Plains, presumably in Yong and Liang, he still has the ability to fight.
But who knows, Zhang Chao actually stormed Chang'an City, and invisibly took the initiative, and then forced Zhuge Liang to ask for reinforcements. What is even more surprising is that both support teams have indeed failed.
Guan Yu was better, but he was hit hard and lost some men and horses, but looking at Li Yuan's way, dividing the troops was equivalent to giving gifts to the other party, a full 100,000 people, not only all surrendered, but also because of this, they didn't even have time to prepare for the back road.
There is no way back, and it is impossible for Fa Zheng to leave Dong Zhuo's military camp now, so how can he not panic.
"Mr. Xiaozhi? The back road has been blocked, and now it seems that we can only storm Cangsong City. Although Dong Zhuo's heart is not happy, it is far more than the law, his original intention was to give up Yongzhou and capture Xiliang, but now he is forced to fight against the water.
