"Okay, I will order to attack the city day and night from now on, and I will definitely take Luoyang as soon as possible." Cao Cao nodded, if Luoyang can be taken, it will be equivalent to having an extremely stable place to settle, so it will be much more difficult for someone to sneak attack him.

Cao Cao's camp gave an order, and for a while the pace of attacking the city became faster, and after only one day and one night, there were less than 10,000 defenders left in the city, and they were already in danger.

Guo Jia and Li Ru's nerves became very nervous, they didn't know if they could hold it for three days under such an attack, but their duty told them that they had to hold it again.

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

Chen Liu.

The place where Zhang Chao was born and grew up as a teenager.

Here, there are too many good memories, from the establishment of Zhangjia Distillery to the appearance of hero drunk; From defeating the Yellow Turban Army to meeting Zhao Yun; From putting Guo Jia in prison and being reused, etc., there are too many memorable places.

From 192 A.D. to the present, it has been nearly eight years, and Zhang Chao has finally returned here again.

On the street of Chen Liucheng, it is still prosperous as usual, and life is boiling.

I have to say that Cao Cao also has some means to rule the world, at least Chen Liucheng has continued to develop in his hands after Zhang Chao left, compared with before, the population here is larger, and the economy is more developed.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao put a lot of gold and silver obtained through taxes here, and at the same time arranged for Le Jin and Mao Jie to lead 30,000 troops to guard here.

As one of the most powerful princes in the Central Plains, Cao Cao did not have many people who took the initiative to find him trouble. Chen Liu is located in the territory of Gunzhou, although it is said that it is not far from Si Li, but since Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, this has become a borderless land. Even if Yuan Shao occupied this place before, he did not exercise too much management power, and Dong Zhuo was the same, that is, Zhang Chao later became the master of Si Li, and there was no big change here.

It is said that it is easy to destroy a city, but it is difficult to build a city. Zhang Chao is not a god, he is also a human, and he cannot be repaired in a short time in the face of Si Li's heavy damage.

Even so, Cao Cao never thought that people would have the idea of beating Chen Liu, especially when Zhang Chao was embattled now, no one would take the initiative to provoke him.

Zhang Chao also grasped this psychology and suddenly appeared in Chen Liu. And even if they entered the city, the soldiers here didn't know. Presumably, no one would have thought that the princes of one side, the emperor's personal general, and Cao Cao's current main opponent, would suddenly surrender to Chen Liu at such a tense time in wartime.

It was precisely because no one could have imagined that Zhang Chao was very smooth when he entered the city, and the soldiers of the two thousand Dragon and Tiger Legion under him entered the city in the same way.

All this is thanks to the attack of the army of the four princes. To say that although Sili is under the rule of Zhang Chao, but they are not as confident as the people of Bingzhou in this general, seeing that Luoyang has been besieged for more than ten days, the people in many nearby cities have felt the crisis, so they have brought their families to the nearest and most prosperous Chenliu from the Sili area.

Zhang Chao followed these fleeing people into the city. Cao Cao was well aware of the importance of developing the population in the future, and had long ordered that the entry of refugees could not be blocked, so that the current Zhang Chao returned to Chen Liu.

Zhang Chao entered the city leisurely, but it was really difficult for Dian Wei who was following him.

To say that Dian Wei also stayed in Chen Liucheng, he was still subdued by Zhang Chao here with Xu Chu.

But now it is not what it used to be, this was Zhang Chao's territory at the beginning, and his brother Zhang Miao served as Chen Liu's county guard. Now it is indeed not, this is Cao Cao's territory, and there are 30,000 Cao troops stationed here.

As the captain of the guard, Dian Wei was very nervous, his hands did not leave the double halberd on his waist, and his eyes were always looking around in a vigilant way, showing a state of not approaching people.

"Okay, Ziman, don't be so nervous, we're just going to the county guard's mansion for ourselves, not to the Yama Palace." Seeing Dian Wei's nervous state, Zhang Chao said with a smile.

It's okay not to say it, but as soon as he said this, Dian Wei became even more nervous. Yes, the direction I am going in now is the county guard's mansion, but it is indeed the Chenliu county guard's mansion, which is the enemy's territory, is there any difference between it and throwing yourself into the net? He really didn't know what this lord thought, why was he so adventurous?

Dian Wei was silent, and Zhang Chao had to smile a little awkwardly, but his steps were still moving forward without a trace of hesitation.

Capture the thief and capture the king first, Zhang Chao in line with this idea, after coming to Chen Liu, he went straight to the county guard's mansion. He has to control the key people here first, so it will become logical for Zhao Yun to lead 60,000 cavalry into the city.

Of course, it is dangerous to enter the enemy's land. It's just that Zhang Chao is not afraid, with a fierce general like Dian Wei beside him, there are fifty iron guards following in front of him, don't say that there is a county guard mansion, it is Cao Cao's prime minister's mansion, and he also dares to break in.

The artist was bold, and Zhang surpassed his confidence in Tiewei, so he took the initiative to send it to the door, and no one found out about the entire Chen Liu. Until they came to the county guard's mansion, Zhang Chao said that he wanted to see the county guard here, and when he said that he was an old friend of General Le Jin, the guards here still did not recognize his identity.

Zhang Chao did not wear his usual white clothes, but replaced them with a set of cyan brocade clothes, which was sewn by the second lady Bai Tong for herself, because the dust on the battlefield was too large, and such clothes could be made to avoid being soiled, which did come in handy this time.

Dressed in expensive clothes, with six guards including Dian Wei by his side, Zhang Chao looks like he has a lot of status.

The powerful are privileged at all times, even in times of war. For the princes, whoever gets more support from the powerful often has more strength when they fight.

In addition, Zhang Chao has always been indifferent, and even his eyes are a little condescending, which makes the guards here even more careless. "This gentleman, our general has gone to inspect the army outside the city, and I am afraid that it will be a while before I come back, I wonder if I can come to visit later?

I didn't know Zhang Chao's true identity, nor did I know what kind of friendship he had with the county guard, so the guard said tentatively.

"What are you talking about, let my son-in-law wait outside, you can say such a thing. Do you know that once Le Jin comes back, I know that if you dare to do this to my son-in-law, you will definitely make your head move, do you believe it or not. After hearing the guard's words, Dian Wei immediately started a fire, all of this was instructed by Zhang Chao in advance, and after being a guard for a long time, the momentum already existed, and this roar really scared the guard.

"Ahh Then, please go to the side hall and wait, and I will inform you as soon as my general returns. The guard was frightened by Dian Wei's roar, and hurriedly apologized.

"Well, don't embarrass the soldiers, they have their own duties. Well, if that's the case, I'll just go to the side hall, and I'll have to trouble the little brother to lead the way. Zhang Chao heard that Le Jin was not there, so he knew that he could only enter the house first, so he said with a smile.

Seeing that Zhang Chao was so easy to speak, the guard was also grateful, and then hurriedly led the way.

The county guard mansion is still the previous county guard mansion, Zhang Miao has always served as the county guard here, Zhang Chao doesn't know how many times he has been here, and he is naturally very clear about the situation here. Entering the familiar place, the calm expression on his face did not change, which made the guard who had been leading the way in front and secretly watching secretly said in his heart: "This gentleman has an extraordinary appearance, he must be a big man, and he can't be provoked." ”

The guards led the way in front, and took Zhang Chao to the side hall, and I saw a lot of guards along the way, but because there were guards leading the way, others didn't say anything. When I was about to come to the side hall, I saw three people coming from the opposite side of the bend in the corner.

The first of the three was a tall man in armor with a sword at his head, and he knew at a glance that he should be a general, and behind him were two guards.

The road was not very wide, which inevitably led to a meeting. The guard who was responsible for guiding Zhang Chao hurriedly took the initiative to step aside when he saw the general coming, and said respectfully, "General Mao is good." ”

"Hmm." After the general agreed, he slowly walked forward, and at the same time his eyes also looked towards Zhang Chao's body.

"General Mao?" This title made Zhang Chao's heart quickly flash a person's name, and then when he thought of who the other party might be, he looked at the other party with a smile on his face.

This is a pair of four eyes, seeing that Zhang Chao also looked at himself, Mao Jie couldn't help frowning, and before he could ask something, the other party spoke first, "Are you General Mao Jie?" ”

"Exactly, I don't know who Mr. is?" Seeing that the other party recognized him, Mao Jie couldn't help but ask out loud. He always had a sense of familiarity with the person in front of him, but he really couldn't tell the identity of the other party.

To say that this is also thanks to the information of that era was not developed, far from the fact that there are videos and photos today, but it is just a portrait of himself, Mao Jie has seen it, but at that time the other party was wearing white, and now he is a little unrecognizable when he changes to Tsing Yi, but he still has a sense of familiarity.

Seeing that Mao Jie took the initiative to admit his identity, Zhang Chao laughed out loud, "I originally wanted to find General Lejin, even if he is not there, you are the same." Ziman, don't you want to take it down? ”

Zhang Chao laughed and gave the order to do it.

Dian Wei, who had already been preparing for the move on the side, heard the military order, and without saying a word, he came with his arms outstretched and grabbed Mao Jie's shoulder.
