The living people all left with Zhang Chao, and only the dead were left in place and became a carrion corpse.

Five days later, the first Dragon and Tiger Legion to arrive here saw exactly what they saw.

Leading the team was the commander of the corps, General Zhao Yun, a first-class military general wearing a red cloak.

"Search, give me a careful search, don't miss the slightest clue." Seeing the corpses that were spread all over the ground and even a little stinky, Zhao Yun gave an order with a cold face.

Since receiving the three highest-ranking red-haired flying eagle messengers, Zhao Yun rushed from Goryeo to Lu County with 30,000 cavalry of the Dragon and Tiger Army non-stop.

In five days, Zhao Yun led 30,000 cavalry, and the average daily rest time was less than two hours, which made him the first batch of reinforcements to arrive here. And when he arrived, he did not order the army to rest, but began to search.

Zhang Chao and other Zhang Jiajun could not be seen anywhere in sight, which made Zhao Yun anxious. Emotionally, he didn't believe that anyone could threaten the emperor, but the facts had to make him make such a judgment.

That is, on the second day after Zhao Yun's arrival, Tai Shici, the commander of the Third Army Corps, and Zhang Liao, the commander of the Seventh Army Corps, also rushed here, they did not stop after receiving the order, they were physically and mentally exhausted, and their eyes were red.

It's just that Zhang Chao at this moment has already disappeared from everyone's sight, and intentionally, even the horseshoe prints when he left have been cleared, and no one can find them.

In the temporary military tent, the three generals were very bad, and they had not had a good rest for several days, but they were still stubborn and did not have the slightest intention of sleeping for a while, but talked about their own judgment in the tent.

"Lord Zhao, you were the first person to arrive here, didn't you find any useful clues?" Tai Shici, the commander of the Third Legion, asked anxiously.

"Nope." Zhao Yun shook his head and replied in very simple language.

Because of this answer, the big tent fell silent for a while. It was General Zhang Liao, the commander of the Seventh Army Corps, who stood up and took the initiative to say, "The emperor is auspicious, is there anything going on, is there still the protection of the Zhang family's army, and it is impossible to have any problems, I can't find it now, but the emperor deliberately avoided it." ”

I have to say that Zhang Liao is still very accurate in seeing things, and he basically guessed Zhang Chao's actions.

"General Zhang is saying that the emperor took the initiative to hide? But why do you want to do that? Could it be..."Tai Shici didn't say anything, it was because he didn't want to think about things in the worst way, in fact, he wanted to say, is it possible that Zhang Chao was arrested, or even killed? As for Zhang Jiajun, after all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who knows if these people will rebel temporarily?

As for the meaning of Tai Shici's words, although they did not make it clear, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao both knew the meaning. The two shook their heads almost at the same time, "Impossible. ”

After the two of them said in unison, they looked at each other and smiled, and then Zhao Yun said, "Let's talk about General Zhang." ”

"Yes." Zhang Liao nodded in agreement. Then he analyzed himself: "The Zhang family army is the most valued army by the emperor, and it is also the army with the highest loyalty, many of their generals are orphans during the Chen Liu, they will never rebel, and they will not threaten the emperor's safety." ”

"Not bad." As soon as Zhang Liao's voice fell, Zhao Yun said in agreement, "What General Zhang said is my intention." I have stayed in Chenliu with the emperor, and I see Zhang Jiajun's friendship with the emperor in my eyes, and it is impossible for anyone to betray them if they rebel. ”

Speaking of which, whether it is Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Tai Shici, they all belong to the old people in Zhang Chao's group. So that they all have a certain understanding of Zhang Jiajun, so naturally they will not suspect that Zhang Jiajun will do anything unfavorable to the emperor.

It's just that all this is just an analysis, and Tai Shici doesn't believe that Zhang Jiajun will do anything to rebel. But the fact is that Zhang Chao is alive now, so he said: "Then if Zhang Jiajun is reliable, why is there no trace now?" Where will the emperor go? ”

"The emperor should be safe. The reason why he left must have his deep meaning, how can we guess at will. It's just that even if we didn't find a large number of Zhang Jiajun's corpses at the scene, the emperor was fine. As for deliberately avoiding us, presumably the emperor has his own plans, and now what we have to do as courtiers is to protect our army and wait for the emperor to reappear. Zhao Yun said in a deep voice.

Although Zhao Yun couldn't guess why Zhang Chao suddenly disappeared, and what kind of deep meaning there was in this, one thing was clear to him. Even if Zhang Chao is gone, he is still a courtier of the Celestial Empire, and if he still has to serve the new emperor of the Celestial Empire, that is, the son of Zhang Chao.

When Zhao Yun said this, Zhang Liao and Tai Shici both nodded, "Okay, we will listen to Lord Zhao." ”

Zhao Yun is a first-class military general, and Ma Chao's questioning of being punished has long been known to everyone, so his words are naturally an order.

"Okay, even if the two generals have the same idea as me, then let's write a note together and hand it over, we just need to report the facts of what happened here, and then lead the troops back to the jurisdiction." Zhao Yun said in an unquestionable voice, his expression was extremely firm at the moment, and a voice in his heart shouted, "Your Majesty, where are you now." It's just that no matter whether something happened or not, I, Zhao Yunsheng, am a person from the Celestial Empire, and I am a ghost of the Celestial Empire when I die, I will still follow your orders, even if your son inherits the throne, I will completely obey my orders. ”

After Zhao Yun and the other three army commanders reached an ideological agreement, they wrote a piece of music together and handed it to Jinyang City, and then the three of them each left a thousand sergeants in Lu County, and continued to search for information that might be useful, and I returned to their respective stations with the army.

......

The war song is sonorous for thousands of miles, and the edge shines for nine days!

Outside Ji County, the governance office of Tianshui County, Yongzhou, two armies, one black and one yellow, are fighting each other.

Between heaven and earth, the two armies beat drums and horns, and the flags hunted in the wind. The cavalry on both flanks of the black army took the lead, and the soldiers of the Chinese army marched forward in a neat step, and the mountain city wall squad advanced, shouting "kill" every three steps, and it was actually calmly rumbling forward.

At the same time, the terrible sound of bull's horns shook the valley, the cavalry on both wings roared to meet the attack, and the heavy infantry also strode unstoppably and arrogantly, like a black tide sweeping over the flat ground.

On the other side, the army in khaki uniforms was also advancing step by step, the spears and halberds in their hands were orderly forward, like a gust of wind sweeping towards the battlefield...

At last the two armies collided like a sea of mountains, and if the rumbling thunder resounded through the valley, and like ten thousand angry waves crashing against the mountains. Long swords and scimitars fluttered, spears and spears whistled and flitted, dense arrows rained like locusts crossing the border, and dull shouts and short roars made the mountains and rivers tremble!

For a time, the iron struck, the death did not spin, the hideous face, the bloody sword, the low howl, the smoke and dust, the whole mountain was enveloped and annihilated by the tragic aura of this primitive fighting.....

The black military uniform is the dragoon army headed by Ma Chao.

The earthy yellow army was Liu Bei's Yizhou army led by Zhang Fei.

Wang Tai, who was recommended by Ma Chao, actually voted for Liu Bei and sent the entire Tianshui County out, which made Ma Chao's face gloomy. As soon as the Rus War was over, he hurried to Yongzhou, and they stabbed Wang Tai to end this period of shame.

As soon as Ma Chao arrived, he replaced Huang Zhong, the commander of the Second Army who was originally fighting here, and he personally led the army to launch a fierce attack on Ji County, Tianshui County.

In the face of Ma Chao's onslaught, Zhang Fei, the general of the Yizhou Army, did not choose a conventional battle to defend the city, perhaps he had long known that the Celestial Empire had a secret weapon that could blow up the city gate in an instant, so he led the army to set up a camp outside the city very early, and came to fight hard against hard.

Both Ma Chao and Zhang Fei are known for their bravery, which makes their battle more intense.

Ma Chao brought elite soldiers and strong generals, elite soldiers trained after the first battle with the Russ Kingdom.

Zhang Fei's strength, the combat power is not enough to compete with the dragoons, but they are better than the number of people, this battle, Zhuge Liang actually pulled 500,000 troops to Zhang Fei, this is already the Han Yuan Emperor Liu Bei's hands can do all the mobile forces, the plan is to be able to gain a foothold in Tianshui County, and then step by step encroach on Yongzhou, and finally achieve the goal of occupying Youzhou and Xiliang.

Both sides have their own goals, which makes them incompatible, and this battle is naturally dark and earth-shattering.

After a few days of fighting, both sides had certain casualties, even Ma Chao and Zhang Fei, the two main generals, had fought more than once, but there was no result.

After a chaotic day, when it was dark, the curtain finally came to an end, and the troops of all sides returned to camp and began to rest.

In the big tent of the dragoon, Ma Chao, who was wearing a thick armor, walked in with some indignation, "This Zhang Heizi, is a loser but not a loser, in today's battle, he lost at least nearly 20,000 people, I want to see how long he can hold on like this." ”

Most of the elite forces under his command fought today, and in today's battle, Ma Chao killed nearly 20,000 enemies at the cost of 8,000 people, which made him arrogant, and he also believed that if he continued like this, the other party would definitely not be able to stand it.

After Ma Chao, who was still a little proud, entered the big tent, he found that the commander of the Second Army, General Huang Zhong, was sitting there in a bit of a daze.

"Captain Huang, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Huang Zhong's lost soul, Ma Chao was very curious.

This General Huang Zhong is naturally much older than him, but his own ability cannot be underestimated, once Ma Chao intended to compare his strength with him, and he was surprised to find that this person was comparable to himself.
