From his tone, Pang Tong heard Fa Zheng's ridicule, but he didn't take it to heart, but explained with a smile: "Don't you think sir? But I want to say that the name of the gentleman is heard from the mouth of the lord, do you believe it? ”

Fa Zheng's reaction was also fast, and when Pang Tongyi said that the lord, he thought of Zhang Chao, and said in amazement: "The general knows me? ”

"Hmm. Not only do I know it, but I have not only praised you once, but this time I captured Cangsong City, and I gave us a strict order, we must find you. Hehe, it's not a secret, this move to open the city gate is also for Mr. Don't you see, that the gates of the city have been shut since you went out of the city, and no one can come out? Pang said with a smile on his face.

At this moment, Fa Zheng noticed that no one was walking out at the city gate, although the city gate was not closed, (in fact, the west city gate that had been blown up by explosives could not be closed.) But no one was let out.

"Hehe, I really didn't expect that the general would value me so much that he would open the city gate for me alone, so I really don't know whether to say panic or thanks." At this moment, Fa Zheng smiled bitterly.

He really didn't expect that Zhang Chao not only knew him, but also had to spend so much effort to catch himself, so if he wanted to escape from the city gate without a life, it was obviously impossible.

"Okay, sir, don't have so many feelings, I think it's better to follow us back to the city now. In fact, the lord values you so much, presumably Mr. Xiaozhi's status will not be too low in the future, and we may work together in the future. After Pang Tong smiled, he said to the left and right: "Come, lead a horse to Mr. and invite him into the city." ”

Fa Zheng knew that he couldn't escape this time, and he was also very curious about how Zhang Chao was so interested in him, so he didn't refuse, got on the horse, and returned to the city with him.

Fa Zheng was captured and safe and sound, when the news reached the ears of Zhang Chao, who was rushing to Cangsong City, he couldn't help but laugh with joy in the carriage, "Okay, the vanguard army has made a great contribution this time." Someone, speed up and rush to Cangsong City. ”

......

Under the city of Guzang.

As soon as Dong Zhuo appeared here, he ordered his soldiers to launch a fierce attack.

For a while, waves of Dong Zhuojun rushed towards the city without fear of death, and there were even a few times when they almost rushed down the city gate.

After just one day, there were originally 40,000 Xiliang defenders in the city, but now there are only more than 20,000 people alive, and even several generals have been injured, even Ma Dai has received an arrow, fortunately it is not a fatal position.

"It's not going to go on like this. I'm afraid tomorrow we won't be able to hold on. I just don't know where the general's men and horses are coming. That night, after Dong Zhuojun stopped attacking, in the resting place of Ma Teng in the city, he called all the generals to discuss important matters together.

Ma Teng's words were naturally Zhang Chun, who participated in the meeting.

After all, it was Zhang Chun who said before that Zhang Chao was going to bring the army here, and now that there is something, he naturally wants to ask him.

After Zhang Chun was asked, he also said with a look of embarrassment: "I really don't know where the lord's army has arrived, but it is certain that they should not be far from here, if we can defend it for three or five days, Guzang City can be saved." ”

"Three or five days? Sir, isn't it a joke, the current situation, I'm afraid that even tomorrow may not be able to hold on. When Ma Teng heard this time limit, he naturally shook his head constantly, obviously time is not an exaggeration for him to say that it is a race against time.

Zhang Chun also knew the urgency of the current situation, and he also knew that with his current strength, it was too difficult to defend Dong Zhuo's army, which was fighting as a trapped beast, to attack the city. But what kind of solution does he have?

"Sir, it's really not good, what if we abandon the city, or let go of a passage for Dong Zhuo's army to pass?" Ma Teng saw that Zhang Chun didn't seem to have any good way, so he asked tentatively.

"No, absolutely not." Zhang Chun did keep shaking his head after hearing this.

Once Dong Zhuo's army leaves Guzang City, there can be multiple roads to go, and it will be even more difficult to catch them, so I don't know how much trouble it will bring to the lord's unification of Xiliang, for this reason, Zhang Chun will never agree.

"Can't do it? So what? Are we all here tomorrow? If this is the case, the same still can't be kept, and everyone's lives will be tied here. Seeing that Zhang Chun didn't allow it, Ma Teng couldn't help but say a little angrily.

"Even if you take your life, you must hold on and not give up, this is the order of the second son, it is the order of the general." Zhang Chun was indeed a little angry at this time, and even began to look at his neck and shout.

With such a shout, the atmosphere in the entire hall quickly froze.

As far as these generals are concerned, although Zhang Chao is powerful, he is not a threat to them now, at least not the generals in his account now, so who will be convinced to order them with this person's orders now?

Thinking that tomorrow will fight and make a bad one, he will take his life, and for a while, everyone's eyes on Zhang Chun are not as kind as before. Between interests and the safety of their own lives, everyone clearly chose the latter.

Zhang Chun naturally felt the change in the atmosphere of everyone in the hall, but he really didn't care, but continued: "Now that we still have more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, presumably as long as we cooperate properly, it will not be a problem to defend it for a day or two." Why are the generals so discouraged? ”

"Yes, under normal circumstances, more than 20,000 people will not have a problem guarding for a day or two, but now the west gate of Guzang City has long been dilapidated, and several walls have collapsed today, and they can rush up directly with a ladder, if it goes on like this, there will be more and more enemies there tomorrow, so there is a gap, how can you defend the city? If it weren't for defending the city, but it turned into a frontal battle, with more than 20,000 people against Dong Zhuo's army of more than 100,000, what chance would we have? General Liang Xing took the initiative to stand up and ask.

"Yes, what General Liang said is very true. We have been guarding Guzang for a while, and now the soldiers have been fighting continuously, and they have not had a good rest, they have long been exhausted, such an army can make a profit by fighting the enemy head-on? Another general, Cheng Yin, also jumped out at this time to support Liang Xing.

"Yes, yes." Seeing that two generals jumped out, the others also jumped out in the same way and began to verbally attack Zhang Chun.

Faced with so many mouths alone, Zhang Chun also felt that it was difficult to deal with it. At this moment, he could only focus on Ma Teng and Ma Dai.

These two people, one person's son is a proton in the hands of the lord, and the other person is taking the initiative to ask Zhang Chao for help, so I think I should stand up and speak for myself at this time.

However, Ma Teng and Ma Dai did not speak out at this meeting. It's not that they don't want to help Zhang Chun, it's that they don't have confidence themselves. Even Ma Teng thought that if he died, what would the proton left behind be of any use to Zhang Chao? If that's the case, I'm afraid that his son will not be able to escape the doom, which is why he questioned Zhang Chun.

No one spoke for himself, seeing that the situation was a downfall, Zhang Chun also looked like he couldn't withstand the pressure. And at this time, a member of the Sky Eye walked in outside the door, and he delivered a flying eagle handbook he had just received to Zhang Chun's hand, "My lord, please take a look." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Chun hurriedly took the letter, called to take a look, and after that, the originally frowning eyebrows stretched, and then he laughed and said, "Okay, it's really good." ”

Everyone was puzzled why Zhang Chunhui, who was still anxious just now, suddenly became the same, and he sent the secret letter in his hand to Ma Teng's hand, and soon the King of Xiliang also laughed, "Okay, okay." The Vanguard Legion is really powerful, really powerful. ”

Ma Teng also laughed, which made the other generals even more curious, and they all came over to take the letter and read it. Then came bursts of laughter.

The atmosphere in the hall that was a little tense just now also dissipated this time, and when everyone looked at Zhang Chun, they returned to their previous kind appearance.

The letter was sent by the Flying Eagle of the Vanguard Legion, which came from Cangsong City in the morning, saying that General Lu Bu had led his army to capture Cangsong City overnight, and now he was hurrying towards Guzang City, and it was expected to reach Dong Zhuo's military camp in the middle of the night, so he hoped that the two sides could inflict heavy damage on Dong Zhuo's army by attacking from both sides.

After reading the letter, Ma Teng said that the vanguard army was really powerful, and it was precisely because they could capture Cangsong City overnight. As a military general, who doesn't know that the siege battle happened at night, that is, it was artificially creating difficulties, but Lu Bufei did it in a hurry and succeeded, so what is it if it is not powerful?

Thinking that even Cangsong City has been broken, that means that the reinforcements are almost in front of us, and with Lu Bu's response, it will not be so difficult to deal with Dong Zhuolai.

This is the reason why all the generals are like a different person.

Everyone was shocked by Lu Bu's strength, and they were also sighing at the strong combat power of Zhang Chao's army. Ma Teng took advantage of the situation and said: "Generals, I don't need to say anything about what happens. Now I order, everyone bring their own men and horses, get ready, just wait for Dong Zhuo's army under the city to be in chaos, we will kill it together, and cooperate with General Lu to kill Dong Zhuo's old thief. ”

"Kill Dong Zhuo." The generals were also speaking in unison at this moment, looking excited.

Zhang Chun saw that the Xiliang generals had regained their morale, and he couldn't help but feel relieved, and then looked at Dongfang and said, "Second son, Chun has lived up to your trust, and the errand is finally going to be done." ”
