Outside the city gate, Sun Jianzheng, who was riding a horse to drive here, looked at Zhang Chao, who was also riding a horse next to him, with a look of surprise.

Just now, Sun Jian was still worried, what if he was in such an unhurried and unhappy pursuit, what if he let Li Yu enter the city? But Zhang Chao did say that no, someone would kill him at the city gate.

For Zhang Chao's words, he was a little skeptical. But thinking that these people were all saved by Zhang Chao, even if this is the case, what if you believe it once?

It's just that I didn't expect that Ben didn't have much hope, but from a distance, these Xiliang soldiers were really messed up. And I heard someone shouting about Li Yu's killing from a distance, which made Sun Jian impressed by Zhang Chao.

Noticing Sun Jian's gaze, Zhang Chao knew that some things could not be hidden after this battle, so he took the initiative to say: "General Sun, I can't hide it, the reason why I was able to defeat Fan Chou first this time, and help you and then Cao Cao, is completely due to foreign aid." ”

Sun Jian has always been puzzled by this matter, and he can't understand why Zhang Chao can win more with less, is it because he has the five hundred elite light horses in his hands? I'm afraid not.

Suffering from others saving him, he is not good at asking deeply. Now that Zhang Chao has taken the initiative to say it, he is a clear picture.

"Hehe, speaking of which, this helper used to be your opponent." Zhang Chao smiled wryly.

"Opponents? Who? Sun Jian became interested.

"It's the first fierce general, Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian." Zhang Chao said with a look of not wanting to hide it. "He also hated Dong Zhuo's oppression of him, so he decided to turn against the water, and robbed a lot of treasures before, which has a certain foundation, but the war horse is limited, this time he agreed with me to jointly attack Chang'an City, we take Dong Zhuo's head, save the emperor out, and he has a war horse. I thought that this deal would not be a loss, so I simply agreed, and this is the case. Zhang Chao told the "truth" in one breath, and then looked at Sun Jian, as if he wanted to hear his opinion.

Sun Jian didn't expect that things would have these twists and turns.

He naturally heard something about Lu Bu robbing the treasure and betraying Dong Zhuo, but he didn't know whether it was true or not, even if Zhang Chao said the same thing now, it should be true. If it seems that although Lu Bu is not a friend, he has a common enemy with them.

"Haha, the prodigal son doesn't change his money, General Lu's approach is good. I just hope that after he has military power in the future, he will not confuse the people. Sun Jian didn't know how to make a statement, thinking that it had already been done anyway, and it was indeed good for him, so he agreed first.

"Okay, General Sun is happy." Seeing that Sun Jian was so happy to agree with this matter, Zhang Chao also had a big piece in his heart, so he raised his whip violently, and rushed towards the east gate of Chang'an City on a white crane horse.

The gate of Chang'an City had already become a pot of porridge at this time, and after Lu Bu appeared, it was a mess here, and when Zhang Chao and Sun Jian and others came, they entered the city without the slightest resistance.

Just as the two of them had just entered the city and were discerning the direction of the palace, hundreds of fast horses followed behind them.

"It's Cao Cao." Zhang Chao and Sun Jian, who were already ready for battle, heard the shouts of the sentries on the city gate at the same time.

"Oh, he's coming fast." Hearing that Cao Cao came so quickly, a smile faded from the corner of Zhang Chao's mouth. Sure enough, when he saw the benefits, he appeared for the first time. Or that the fastest person in history is Cao Cao.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is exactly like this.

"Wentai, brother Zhiyuan, why did you go so fast!" There is still some distance away, Cao Cao's panting voice came, obviously this pursuit is not comfortable, compared to Zhang Chao and the others also stopped to eat something, I am afraid that he is so tired that he can't even drink saliva.

But fortunately, he still followed, and Cao Cao's face showed a hint of joy, especially when he saw that these two were still at the city gate and did not enter the city, he was even more relieved, at least Emperor Xian was still safe and sound.

Zhang Chao and Sun Jian saw Cao Cao's sallow face due to fatigue at the same time, and they couldn't help but want to be happy.

Cao Cao also knew what was going on from the expressions of these two people, so he smiled bitterly: "Hey, there is no way, who would have thought that the two generals would be so capable of fighting?" I also want to quickly destroy the enemy army and rush to help you, but Li Yu is really fierce. ”

"Alright, alright." Seeing that Cao Cao was still complaining and acting. Sun Jian interrupted him and said, "Li Yu has been beheaded by General Zhang's subordinates. By the way, Guo Yan and Fan Chou and Niu Fu were all killed by General Zhang, and he made the first contribution this time. ”

As he spoke, Sun Jian looked at Zhang Chao with admiration, after all, these were several tiger generals under Dong Zhuo's command, and they used to be very headaches, but now they have all been killed, which can be regarded as solving the big problem.

Cao Cao said with a shocked expression on his face: "If this is the case, Zhiyuan has really made a great contribution, even if this is the case, I must be clear after seeing the emperor and celebrate for Zhiyuan." ”

"Haha, then there's Brother Lao Mengde. By the way, you are familiar with Chang'an City, where can you find Emperor Xian? Don't delay for a long time, it will be difficult to let Dong Zhuo's old thief take people away. Zhang Chao laughed and clenched his fists, and then pulled Cao Cao's heart up with a word.

As far as Cao Cao is concerned, whether he can kill Dong Zhuo this time is secondary, and even whether the coalition can use it is secondary, and it is also the most important thing to control the emperor in his own hands. Seeing that victory was imminent, how could he have lost sight of his goal?

"It's extreme, it's extreme, what Brother Zhiyuan said is extreme. Quick, I'll lead the way and go to Chang'an Palace. As Cao Cao spoke, he stepped forward and took the initiative to lead the way.

Cao Cao once came to Chang'an City on business, and he is relatively familiar with the terrain here. Under his leadership, everyone soon came to the front of the palace. Originally, there were some generals who defended the city, and when they saw so many people rushing towards them, they turned around and ran.

"Leave them alone, finding Emperor Xian is the most important thing." Cao Cao didn't even glance at the fleeing soldiers, but instead stared at the inside of the palace gate and said.

As soon as the order was given, the generals of the three generals rushed forward first, and they wanted to solve all possible dangers for their lords.

Cao Cao couldn't wait, and wanted to follow the generals to play the vanguard, but he was really caught up by Zhang Chao.

"What is Zhiyuan doing?" Looking at this time, Zhang Chao grabbed himself, and his face changed.

"Brother Meng De, how do you see me doing this time?" Zhang Chao is not afraid of the other party's stinky face at all, and now it is time to bargain, the so-called no more shops in this village refers to this time.

Cao Cao didn't expect that at this time, Zhang Chao would still be entangled in this problem, and immediately replied: "Okay, Zhiyuan is doing very well, very well." Okay, let's go and save the emperor. ”

After saying that, Cao Cao still wanted to leave, but as soon as his body moved, his footsteps did not move, and he was still pulled there by Zhang Chao.

"Don't worry, anyway, now that they have entered the palace, as long as Dong Zhuo's speed is not fast enough, then Emperor Xian's life will definitely not be in danger, I think it's better to explain my affairs first." Zhang Chao won't let Cao Cao go now, this person really turns his face and doesn't recognize people, if he doesn't take a handful now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to talk about some things when I look back.

Of course, Cao Cao was anxious, but because Zhang Chao was pestering himself, if he turned his face now, he was afraid that it would be unfavorable to the overall situation, so he had no choice but to say in a deep voice: "That's it, that's it, what Zhiyuan wants to say, just say it together." ”

"Okay." Seeing Cao Cao's very happy appearance, Zhang Chao said unceremoniously: "Even if Brother Meng De is so bold, then I will say it directly." Remember what you promised when you persuaded me to join the coalition? ”

"What?" Cao Cao couldn't remember it.

"I'm really good at acting." Zhang Chao thought in his heart, but he was already prepared, and said: "Brother Meng De is really a noble man who forgets things, that is, then I will say it directly, you can say that you saved the emperor at the beginning, that is a great merit, and it is okay to be ranked as the third duke, right?" ”

"Well, I guess so." Cao Cao looked uncertain.

Zhang Chao ignored the other party's disadmitting expression, and continued: "As for me, I'm not greedy, I just need a state pastor, how to say it, it's bigger than Chen Liu's county guard and Guangling county guard, so that I can explain to my eldest brother and ancestors when I go back." ”

Cao Cao has been pretending to be confused, that is because he doesn't know what Zhang Chao wants, and what he is most worried about is that this person also wants to keep the emperor by his side, if this is the case, then a battle is inevitable.

But who knows, I have been pretending for a long time, and I have been worried for a long time, Zhang Chao's requirements are so low, just asking for a grazing position, which is a bit too unexpected.

Cao Cao's brain has always turned very fast, and when he saw Zhang Chao speak, as if he was afraid that he would regret it, he quickly nodded and said: "State pastor, state pastor, it should be, it should be." I just don't know which one Zhiyuan wants, and when I see Emperor Xian, I will suggest that he be canonized.

Cao Cao agreed, which was not Zhang Chao's expectation. He didn't plan to compete with the other party for something, and the things he planned had no conflict of interest with this person for the time being, so he asked happily: "Is it really any state pastor?" ”

"Well, that's okay." Cao Cao didn't dare to say too much, after all, who knew what medicine Zhang Chao sold in his gourd?

"Oh, then I'll think about it." Zhang Chao looked like he was really thinking about things seriously, and after a while, Cao Cao was a little impatient, so he said: "Then merge the state." It's a little more remote, less strife, but it's a good place to spend my old age in peace and inspire me to write articles. ”
