Let's say that Zhang Liao rushed into the formation first, and waved his straight knife, those chaotic Cao soldiers were Zhang Liao's opponents, and everywhere they went, Cao soldiers were killed one after another, and there was no enemy. Later, Cao Jun saw Zhang Liao killing, and walked directly to the surroundings to avoid it.

Zhang Liao's rush to kill immediately opened a gap for the army behind, and three thousand soldiers killed from the gap opened by Zhang Liao. Cao Jun saw it and hurriedly shouted: "Formation!" Fight back! ”

Over there, Zhang Liao had noticed Gao Ran from the mountain, and he just opened a gap for the army and ignored him, but now he heard Gao Ran commanding Cao's army, and as soon as he reined in the war horse, he killed Gao Ran with a knife. The chaotic Cao army along the way couldn't stop Zhang Liao's footsteps at all, Gao Ran saw Zhang Liao killed, and he couldn't recognize who it was, but he was overjoyed when he saw that it was the enemy general, and he raised his gun to meet him.

The knives and guns fought, but Zhang Liao felt a wave of backshock, his hands were a little numb, his eyebrows were raised, and he said in a condensed voice: "I have some skills!" Again! After speaking, he raised his knife and slashed again.

Over there, Gao Ran pressed Zhang Liao's knife, but he felt pain in his arms, and secretly exclaimed in his heart: "It's amazing!" Hearing what Zhang Liao said, he was secretly angry in his heart, and he and Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang Shao were called "Hebei Siting Zhu" in his eyes, and he shouted angrily: "Death!! After cheering, the spear in his hand trembled sharply and covered Zhang Liao.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao snorted coldly and said, "Not necessarily!" In the face of the gun, Zhang Liao's straight knife suddenly went up! f▲ When one one one Ding one one one. 》

There was a loud bang, and then a crisp sound, like rain hitting plantains. But it was Zhang Liao who broke Gao Liao's gun momentum with one sword, but Xi Gaolan's follow-up gun moves could not be collected, and the tips of the guns were connected, all hitting Zhang Liao's straight blade, and the explosions continued to sound.

Zhang Liao broke Gao Ran's spear momentum with a knife, and the straight knife suddenly pressed down, but the sharp tip of the knife made a sword move, stabbing Gao Ran in the chest!

Gao Jian saw that he was in a hurry, and Gao Yi's clever moves one after another had made Gao Yi feel the gap between the two sides, and in the crisis, Gao Ran immediately leaned back and made an iron plate bridge on the horse, narrowly avoiding Zhang Liao's stabbing all the time.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao sneered, pinched the war horse under his crotch fiercely, let the war horse rush forward a few steps, and made himself closer to Gao Lan, and at the same time pressed down with the straight knife in his hand, and pulled it back violently! "Not good!" Gao Ran saw Zhang Liao's move, and he already knew in his heart that it was not good, but it was too late for him to react again. "Poof, one, one, one, one

The next moment, the tip of the straight knife in Zhang Liao's hand was pointed at Gao Liao's head, and the sharp tip of the knife was suddenly pulled back, starting from his forehead, to his nose, mouth, throat, chest, and abdomen, which were cut open by Zhang Liao's straight knife at once!

With a "bang", Gao Ran's whole person was broken, and the strong stinging sensation made Gao Ran quickly lose consciousness. Although Zhang Liao's blow broke Gao Ran's chest, he knew that Gao Ran was not dead, and with a sharp turn of the straight knife, he cut off the head of Gao Ran, who had no power to resist!

Zhang Liao suddenly raised Gao Ran's head high and shouted: "The enemy general is dead!" Those who descend will not be killed! ”

Cao Jun saw Gao Ran being beheaded by Zhang Liao in the chaos, but he was even more shocked, Jiang Qi of the former army was only killed at this time, and saw Zhang Liao running back and forth with Gao Lan's head, and he was not Zhang Liao's opponent, and saw that the Chinese army had been defeated, so he immediately led an army to flee in a hurry.

Cao Jun saw Jiang Qi fleeing, but it was Zai Yuan's fighting spirit, and they scattered and fled, and some of those who couldn't walk saw Zhang Xiu's army coming, so they immediately put down their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender.

At this time, Shen Yi also led the army to come, due to the large number of Cao troops, Zhang Liao and Shen Yi only had 6,000 people, afraid that they could not control the situation, but Zhang Liao did not go to chase Jiang Qi, so after the year was collected, he led the army and destroyed the number of equipment such as wells, rushing cars, and catapults before returning to Bishui Pass.

Back to the Guanyi inventory, now their own troops have only lost more than 200 people, which can be regarded as slight, and Cao's army has killed more than 3,000 in battle, except for being attacked by wood, stone and arrow rain and died, most of them trampled on each other and died. There were 5,000 in the year, but the rest of the Cao army escaped. Zhang Liao also knew that the terrain was not very dangerous, so it was impossible to capture too many Cao soldiers, but this battle had to be said to be a big victory, which frustrated the vanguard of the Cao army, and destroyed the siege equipment of the Cao army's attack on Bishui Pass at one time.

Zhang Liao reported that the news of the victory had arrived at Zhang Xiufen in Luoyang, and sent people to escort the captives to Luoyang to listen to Zhang Xiufen, and at the same time he did not dare to relax and strengthen the vigilance of Bishui Pass.

Here, Zhang Shao led the army to rush to Bishui Pass, but when he passed by the dangerous place, he saw that the wells, rushing cars, trebuchets, etc. were all destroyed, but he was shocked in his heart, knowing that Gao Ran and the others must have encountered an accident. So he found a place to camp and sent scouts out to find out the news.

A few hours later, the scouts found Jiang Qi and led him and the remnants of his army back to Zhang Shao's camp. Seeing Zhang Shao, Jiang Qi hurriedly told him all about the battle, Zhang Shao heard that his friend Gao Ran was killed, and almost fell to the ground, and then asked through gritted teeth: "Do you know who did it!" ”

Jiang Qi thought for a while and said: "At this time, Zhang Xiu's army will be able to have this martial art in the future, and it is Zhang Liao who can have this martial art!" "Bang !!"

Zhang Shao Yiyu slapped heavily on the table, gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Liao! A certain person will take the head of Ruxiang and avenge Brother Gao! After scolding Zhang Tai, he immediately shouted: "Pass the order, and immediately enter the Bishui Pass!" "False righteousness and slow!"

When everyone in the tent heard this, they all gasped, and when Zhang Tai was furious, there were still people who dared to open their mouths to persuade them, so they turned their heads to look at the source of the sound. When everyone looked at it, they saw that it was Xin Ping who spoke.

Seeing that it was Xin Ping, Zhang Shao took a few deep breaths, temporarily suppressed his anger, and asked in a condensed voice, "What did Zhongzhi say?" ”

Xin Ping looked at Zhang Shao and said, "General Gao died in battle, and the general understands that he wants to avenge him." However, now that our army has suffered setbacks one after another, morale is low, and the siege equipment is insufficient, didn't the general let the soldiers rely on flesh and blood to tackle the key problems, and take the lives of 30,000 soldiers as a child's play? When Zhang Shao heard this, his anger calmed down a little, and he asked in a condensed voice, "What does the gentleman think?" ”

Xin Ping exhaled lightly and said: "Our army and Zhang Liao fought two battles in a row, and the damage to Zhang Liao's department was minimal, and our army only had 30,000 soldiers left, and the morale was low. Commenting that there should be no more strong attacks at this time, we should immediately send people back to Xuchang and invite the prime minister's army! ”

Jiang Qi heard it and also persuaded: "False righteousness, what Mr. said is reasonable, our army has lost two battles in a row, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit, but it is not suitable to do it again."

War. Over there, Guo Tu nodded silently. Zhang Shao looked at Guo Tu, secretly hating in his heart, if it weren't for Guo Tu's strategy, how could he have died in battle. Thinking about it carefully, Zhang Shao also now knows Guo Tu for so long, and almost none of his plans have worked, and it was Guo Tu who instigated it during the Battle of Guandu, so that he and Gao Ran voted for Cao Cao, and now although everyone has returned to Cao Cao, these old hatreds will not be erased so easily. Before, Zhang Shao was still working for Cao Cao in the spirit that everyone was working for Cao Cao, and for the time being, he put aside his grudges and worked together, how did he know that this time it was Guo Tuzhi's plot to kill Gao Ran. The more he thought about Zhang Shao, the more angry he became, pointed at Guo Tu, and shouted: "Come on, take Guo Tu down!" ”

Zhang Shao ordered, naturally there were soldiers pouring in to take Guo Tu, Guo Tu saw Zhang Shao's murderous face, and asked in surprise: "Zhang Shao, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhang Shao snorted angrily and scolded: "Guo Tu, this person plotted indiscriminately, killed General Gao Lan, and deserved to be punished for the crime!" Drag Guo Tu out and show the public! ”

Guo Yu was shocked when he heard Kai: "Zhang Shao, you can't ......" Seeing the wolf-like soldiers escorting him out, Guo Tu hurriedly shouted: "General Zhang spares his life...... Zhongzhi, please ......" Zhang Shao saw it, snorted angrily, and shouted: "Stuff his di, drag it out and cut it!" ”

Guo Ho's mouth was sealed, and he couldn't speak at all, Jiang Qi and Xin Ping didn't say anything over there, Guo Tu's villain behavior had already been taught under Yuan Shao, and now Zhang Shao wants to kill him, and no one is willing to help him.

Soon, the soldier dragged Guo Tu's rank in to ask Zhang Shao, Zhang Shao waved his hand and said, "Okay, take it down, I don't want to see him, just bury him." The soldiers departed as promised.

Zhang Shao's anger was a little relieved in his heart, and he settled down to think about it, but he knew that what Xin Ping said was reasonable, so he led the army to retreat for fifty miles, and sent someone to send the news to Xuchang to report to Cao Cao.

Lo! It has been ten years since the reconstruction of the city, compared with the previous Luoyang City, it is obviously several times larger, and this Luoyang City is a four-sided city structure, the scale is slightly inferior to Chang'an, and it is better than Wancheng. However, there are also moats connected with the Yellow River outside Luoyang City, and there are some irregular rivers in the city, and reservoirs have been excavated, but their construction skills have crossed this era.

At this time, Zhang Xiu had already led the civil and military forces into Luoyang City, and Zhang Xiu and others had already entered the Hussar General's Mansion in Luoyang City. Speaking of this hussar general's mansion, Chang'an, Luoyang and Wancheng each have one, Wancheng is naturally the place where Zhang Xiu originally used, and when Luoyang built the city, Zhang Xiu also considered that in the future to march into the Central Plains, Luoyang will be the outpost, so he also built a cavalry general's mansion, which is convenient for command, and I don't want to use this hussar general's mansion in less than ten years.

In the hussar general's mansion, Zhang Xiu held a letter in his hand: "A good Zhang Wenyuan, breaking the vanguard spirit of the Cao army and playing the prestige of our army, good!" Everyone in the hall knew about Zhang Liao's victory, so they naturally praised it and laughed in unison.

After laughing, Fa Zheng opened his mouth and said: "Lord, Wen Yuan repelled Zhang Shao. Cao Cao's vanguard was frustrated, but he was afraid that Cao Cao would have to fight in advance. Chen Gong also nodded and said, "What Xiaozhi said is true, the lord should prepare as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Xiu touched his chin and said, "There are 30,000 troops in the two passes of Bishui and Tiger Prison, and the preparations on the pass are sufficient, so it is more than enough to defend it." However, there is a lack of generals in the two passes, and if the Cao army attacks on a large scale, Wen Yuan is afraid that it will be difficult to support alone. Now Wen Yuan is in Bishui Pass, Ling Ming, and you go to the Tiger Prison Pass to guard the palace, and you can't take the order lightly without this general. Pound heard this and replied in a loud voice: "No! ”

Zhang Xiu naturally knew that it was Ma who sent troops to attack Youzhou, and Pang De was just afraid that Ma would lose so he followed, and Zhang Xiu still trusted Pang De's stability. As for the horse, Zhang Xiu didn't dare to let him act alone, this guy was terrifyingly violent, especially after consecutive big victories, he would get carried away, so it's good to teach him some lessons now.

After arranging Pang De to guard the pass, Zhang Xiu said: "Cao Cao has counted the crimes of the generals in front of the Son of Heaven, and now he has sent Zhang Shao to attack, and the war is inevitable." However, the so-called long-term defense will be lost, although the two passes of Tiger Prison and Bishui are the world's strongest passes, but if they are allowed to be attacked by Cao Jun, it is also inappropriate, what are your strategies? ”

Zhuge Jin nodded and said: "What the lord said is reasonable, and our army is mainly cavalry, it is indeed not suitable to completely stick to the city, and it may be better to take the initiative to attack and win the fighter!" ”

Fa Zheng heard it, and also nodded: "What Ziyu said is not bad. Now our army has Tiger Prison and Bishui Pass to defend the Sizhou barrier, and there is Gongming in Xiangcheng at Nanyang to block Cao Cao's army. The main army of Cao Cao is at three points in Xuchang, Chenliu and Yecheng, of which Chenliu is the center, echoing Xuchang and Yecheng. I thought that I could use a roundabout strategy to break one of Xuchang or Yecheng first, and then turn to attack Chenliu, so that Cao's army could be broken. This Xuchang is the core of Cao's army, but the south of Xuchang is mountainous, which is not conducive to cavalry, and if our army attacks Xuchang, it is difficult to guarantee that Liu Bei of Jingzhou will not echo in the north, so I think it is better to attack Yecheng! ”

After speaking, he walked to the map, pointed to Hanoi and Jizhou, and continued: "My lord, look. Hanoi does not have too many dangers for our army to defend, and the land of Hebei is extremely beneficial to our cavalry, just thinking that for Hebei, our army should attack instead of defending, and break through Yecheng first. As for Chen Liu and Xuchang, our army first put stubbornness first. ”

Jia Xu pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Although what Xiaozhi said is reasonable, the cavalry of the Cao army is indeed far inferior to the elite of our army. However, Cao Cao has a lot of capable people, and if our army rushes to attack Jizhou, it will inevitably see through our army's intentions. If the Cao army is fortified according to Yecheng, our army is also helpless, it must be known that the Cao army has 300,000 people in Jizhou, and it is not necessary to fight with our army in the field and hold on, and our army will not be able to help the Cao army. And the Cao army only needs to hold on to Wei County, and at the same time attack Sizhou and Nanyang, as the lord said, if you hold it for a long time, even if the soldiers can hold it, but in the face of the Cao army's daily onslaught of siege equipment, the damage to the city is also serious, and then I am afraid that the city will be broken. Zhang Xiu heard this, frowned and asked, "What does Wenhe think our army should do?" ”

Jia Xuhui smiled and said: "The so-called noble gods, although the Cao army is many but slow to assemble, although our army is few and far between, it is already ready to fight at this time. He thought that at this time, the lord should immediately lead the army east out of Sizhou and attack Chen Liu first! ”！
