Thinking that after Zhang Chaolian occupied Yongzhou and Xiliang, wouldn't that force rise to the first prince, and this person's strength will be unpredictable in the future. Perhaps one day, it will succeed in unifying the entire Central Plains and establishing a new dynasty.

was talking about Zhang Chun, seeing that some generals saluted him, and hurriedly returned the salute one by one. At the same time, he also noticed that there were some generals who were hesitating to greet him, and the situation of some of these generals was in his hands, that is, these people had made personal contact with Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo once sent people to contact these generals, indicating that he just wanted to take advantage of the city of Guzang for himself, and did not want to kill people, and he would not embarrass those who were not in the way. Its purpose is to break the military spirit of the Ma Teng army.

It is precisely because Dong Zhuo is just saying that some generals retreat, wanting to avoid his edge and save their lives first, and as for Zhang Chao can't catch Dong Zhuo, what does it have to do with them?

It is precisely because of this that these generals have done some unsightly things, and now when they meet Zhang Chun, they don't know how to do it.

Zhang Chun, who knew all this well, spoke again after meeting some of the Xiliang generals: "The general also said that in view of the previous crisis in Guzang City, people will have their own ideas, and even make some wrong decisions, but that is just a means of self-protection when people face danger. Even so, it can not be pursued, as long as from this moment on, it is enough to fully cooperate with King Xiliang to guard Guzang and block Dong Zhuo's only way. And from now on, merit will still be rewarded. ”

Zhang Chun's words are equivalent to erasing some of the previous mistakes. This was heard in the ears of those generals who had originally been in contact with Dong Zhuo, which made them feel refreshed.

Naturally, they heard Zhang Chun's words clearly and knew that this was specially said to them. This also proves that Zhang Chao also attaches great importance to them in his heart, and at the moment, those generals immediately greeted Zhang Chun and expressed their attitude, and they will completely obey Ma Teng's orders.

All the generals actually expressed their positions at this meeting, and this scene was seen in Ma Teng's eyes, which was both ashamed and a little disappointed.

Zhang Chun's last words, as long as you savor them, you can know what they mean, which already shows that some generals have been out of their control. And isn't it a shame that he doesn't even know about these things, and he still needs to rely on others to remind him?

Thinking that once upon a time, the generals under his command were a little detached from him, and his own king of Xiliang was really disappointing.

Since then, Ma Teng has already had a retreat in his heart. He has decided that after guarding Guzang City, after Zhang Chao arrives, he doesn't need others to explain, he should take the initiative to go to Jinyang City to retire. If you want to work hard all your life, isn't the so-called being able to live a plain and non-contentious life? Now it's going to be satisfied.

To say that during the period when Ma Teng became the king of Xiliang, although he was not very sympathetic to the people under his rule, he was really good for his generals. Many people have lived a carefree, even high-minded life, because of his appreciation.

It's just that adversity sees the truth.

When a person is faced with danger, the state of mind will naturally change. Otherwise, there would be no one who does not think of himself and destroys the old saying.

No matter what kind of change Ma Teng's mood has taken, with the appearance of Zhang Chun, the situation above the entire city tower has changed. All the generals are determined to defend Guzang City, and there are even some generals who want to behave well and show Zhang Chao.

Ma Dai saw the thoughts of the generals, so he said that Zhang Chun was left. I hope he can be a witness and watch the generals behave.

In this regard, Zhang Chun happily agreed. He was also worried that if he left, he would have a change in his heart when he had a general, and then he would not be able to complete the task assigned by the second son.

Zhang Chun stayed, which made the generals as excited as if they had been beaten. They all want to put on a good show.

It was under such a state of mind that the siege of Dong Zhuo's army under the city officially began.

At the beginning of the siege, Dong Zhuojun sent 20,000 people, which is also thanks to the fact that the walls of Guzang City are wide and high enough, otherwise, I am afraid it will be difficult to accommodate these people at once.

20,000 people were mobilized to attack the city, and it can be seen that Dong Zhuo is also desperate. This also seems to prove the authenticity of Zhang Chun's words. At this moment, Dong Thief is really about to jump off the wall in a hurry.

If it had been before, if it had been possible to block the all-out offensive of 20,000 people, I am afraid it would have been a little difficult. But with the appearance of Zhang Chun and the hope he brought, the morale of the Xiliang army rose sharply for a while, and it was naturally a lot more desperate to defend the city.

After a day of fierce fighting, Dong Zhuojun was defeated, and the other party threw down more than 10,000 corpses and retreated to the city.

Wang Fang, who was in command of the siege battle, was also very surprised to see that Ma Tengjun seemed to be a different person compared to before. He couldn't help but report the news to Dong Zhuo and ask him to decide.

In Dong Zhuo's big tent, he was looking at the map hanging in front of him with a gloomy face, and it could be seen from the situation there that Cangsong was now in a very critical period.

In front of Cangsong City is Guzang City, which is like a moat blocking his way to the west.

In the rear of Cangsong City, Zhang Chao is coming quickly, once they are assembled, I am afraid that the city will not be protected, at that time he will have to face the danger of two attacks, I am afraid that at that time, even the strength to flee will not be there.

At that time, everything Dong Zhuo has worked hard for in his life will go down the drain, and his life may be gone.

This is definitely not something that Dong Zhuo can accept. Now, he can only get a glimmer of life if he captures Guzang City with all his might.

"Report, lord, front-line battle report." A herald entered the tent and knelt down and handed over the information sent by the king.

Dong Zhuo didn't fake his hand to others, he stretched out his hand to take it, and after looking at it urgently, he threw the information to the ground with hatred, and said with a dissatisfied expression: "How is this possible." Some of the generals in the Xiliang army have already promised to give way to me, do they want to regret it? ”

At the bottom of the table is the Fazheng.

Although he didn't like Dong Zhuo's personality, and was full of complaints about being forcibly retained, but at this moment, his retreat was blocked, and now he had no choice, as long as he helped him capture Guzang City, he had any hope of escaping.

Therefore, at this moment, Fa Zheng has to come up with a strategy for Dong Zhuo.

Xiang is to block the news of Zhang Chao's arrival, contact some Xiliang generals, and ask them to withdraw from Guzang City and let go of life, this is all a plan of justice.

The original plan went smoothly, at least judging from the siege of the city in the first two days, Guzang City has an unbearable frame. But who would have thought that all of a sudden everything would change again? What the hell is going on?

Stretched out his hand to pick up the information that was thrown down by Dong Zhuo, and after Fa Zheng read it carefully, his eyebrows were twisted together, and after a long time, he said, "It should be that what Zhang Chao is going to have entered Guzang City, and those Xiliang generals know about it, so they regret it." ”

"So how did they deliver the message, didn't we all block the source?" After Dong Zhuo heard it, he asked with a puzzled expression.

"King Yong, now is not the time to think about this. Now Zhang Chao's army can come to Cangsong City in two days, and it will be difficult for us to defend the city at that time, so what we have to do now is to capture Guzang City within two days, and maybe there will be a glimmer of life. Fa Zheng didn't answer Dong Zhuo's words, and he didn't know how to answer. It's just that he understands that there is indeed not much time left for them.

As soon as Fa Zhengyi said it, Dong Zhuo didn't investigate how the news leaked, but said nervously, "Capture Guzang City in two days, looking at its appearance, I'm afraid it's a little difficult." ”

"Even if it is difficult, it will be attacked. In this case, please ask King Yong to go to the front in person, you only need to talk to Ma Teng and tell him that you don't want to be an enemy of him, but just want to take advantage of the way. Maybe you can still fight for a chance to survive. After thinking about it for a while, Fa Zheng made a plan.

"Okay, I'll give it a try, if Ma Teng Lao'er doesn't agree, then I'll attack the city to the death, I don't believe it, with my 200,000 army, can't I capture a Guzang City?" Dong Zhuo nodded in agreement, but also with an angry face, obviously the situation was worse than he expected, and it made him really angry.

Dong Zhuo followed the advice given by Fa Zheng, and left Cangsong City and went straight to Guzang City. It was only left that Li Tong and 40,000 soldiers were left to guard in Cangsong City, blocking Zhang Chao, who might appear at any time.

Zhang Chao had already led the army of four legions to converge in Lingju City. And in view of the danger of Guzang City, he sent Lu Bu as the vanguard general to take his vanguard army first.

Lu Bu, who had rested in the city for a few days, was in a good mental state, and after receiving the military order, he immediately led his 150,000 troops, plus the bag of explosives given by Zhang Chao, and rushed straight to the front.

Under Zhiyang City, he saw the power that a pack of explosives could bring. Now that he has the opportunity to actually get his hands on it, he couldn't help but be excited.

In the past, most of the vanguard legions belonged to cavalry, and it was okay for them to carry out long-distance raids, but if it was said that the ability to attack cities and seize land was a little worse, but now with the support of Zhang Chao's bag of explosives, he was indeed full of confidence.

"Hehe, look at the great achievements of my vanguard legion." With a strong fighting spirit and self-confidence, Lu Bu took the lead with the cavalry. It was only a day later that he rushed to Lingju City.

When they arrived here, the entire vanguard army could be said to be non-stop, and many soldiers, including war horses, were tired. Traveling a hundred miles in a day is already their limit.
