The situation in front of him caught Zhang Liao by surprise.

He came all the way, he was extremely cautious, why did the Jingzhou army set up an ambush outside the city as if it had been expected, and now that the army has been attacked, it has been powerless.

If it is a head-on battle with the Jingzhou army, Zhang Liao still has a few chances of winning.

But now, he can only lead his troops to break through.

The most important thing is that the Jingzhou army is really good, even if he breaks through with all his strength, it seems that it will be difficult to be effective.

And in the crowd, Zhang Liao saw a familiar figure, this person was Xue Li.

Last time in Jingbei, Zhang Liao had a fight with Xue Li.

But Zhang Liao was not Xue Li's opponent at all, and even gave him a feeling that this Xue Li was not inferior to his old master Lu Bu, and now that he met him, his face had changed slightly.

Xue Li led the troops forward.

He was holding Fang Tian's halberd, and when he got closer, he saw that it was an acquaintance, and couldn't help laughing:

"Zhang Liao, you have fallen into an ambush, there is no way out, why don't you get off your horse and surrender quickly."

Zhang Liao was a little annoyed, although he surrendered to Cao Cao, he was also a loyal man. If it weren't for Lu Bu's unpopularity, I'm afraid he would have been beheaded by Cao Cao like Gao Shun.

Not to be outdone, Zhang Liao gritted his teeth and said:

"If you want Ben to surrender, you don't have to be delusional, it's just a death, what are you afraid of!"

Looking at the determined Zhang Liao, Xue Li didn't care.

He continued to kill the past.

The two of them just fought each other.

But Zhang Liao's strength, among the generals of the Three Kingdoms, can only be regarded as first-class, how to fight against the super-first-class Xue Li, he soon fell into disadvantage, and finally had no power to fight back.

Originally, Zhang Liao was ready and was killed on the spot by Xue Li.

But who would have thought that Xue Li would not play his cards according to the routine, and shot down Zhang Liao's spear with a halberd. Then the first leader took it down, and Zhang Liao was captured alive on the spot.

Under Xue Li's hands, Zhang Liao had no way to resist at all.

Soon he was tied up.

Xue Li, on the other hand, continued to lead people to kill.

Originally, it was attacked by the Jingzhou army from the rear, and the Cao army was caught off guard, and now even Zhang Liao was captured alive, what else could they do, everyone had no choice but to surrender.

Now that I am in Jingzhou, it is difficult to go back.

The battle was a resounding victory.

Many enemy soldiers were killed and wounded, and thousands of people were taken prisoner.

However, the losses of the Jingzhou army were too small.

There are Xuanjia iron cavalry in front, how can those Cao troops resist.

After all, Cao Cao couldn't have imagined it.

Liu Qi's subordinates, who are now fierce generals, did not take them to attack Yizhou, but stayed in Xiangyang City.

That's a waste!

Inside the city of Xiangyang.

Zhang Liao and Meng Da were both brought into the palace.

Zhuge Liang was calm as usual, his gaze fell on the two of them, and he asked Zhang Liao first:

"I heard the name of General Wenyuan early, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its name, the general has no way out now, my lord has the ambition to recruit talents and restore the Han family, why don't the general choose another master?"

Hearing this, Zhang Liao frowned and turned his head, and said:

"Needless to say, if you want to kill, you will kill, why bother to say such nonsense, I, Zhang Wenyuan, have received the favor of Prime Minister Cao Cheng, how can I betray the lord and rebel again, it is nothing more than death, what are I afraid of?"

Seeing Zhang Liao so resolute, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but feel a little pity.

He knew Zhang Liao's name.

In the White Wolf Mountain, thousands of horsemen went straight to the tent of the Wuhuan King, beheaded the Badun, and won the battle.

Such a famous general is really rare.

But it can be seen from Zhang Liao's attitude that he will indeed not surrender easily. However, Zhuge Liang did not have murderous intentions, anyway, now in Xiangyang, he can be directly detained.

When Liu Qi comes back, it's not too late to deal with it.

Then.

Zhuge Liang looked at Meng Da, who was cold and speechless, with a playful smile on his face, and said:

"Mengda, do you have anything to say?"

At this moment, Meng Da looked at Zhuge Liang and snorted coldly:

"What is there to say?"

Although Meng Da had nothing to say, Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly, his expression became stern, and he said in a deep voice:

"Meng Da, you are really calculating, under Liu Jiyu, you calculated to give Yizhou in exchange for your own interests, and now that you have come to Xiangyang, do you want to send me Jingzhou to Cao Cao again?"

At this moment, Zhang Liao has not taken it away.

He just came on Cao Cao's orders, and he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't expect this Meng Da to be so shameless.

Immediately, his face was full of disgust.

Hearing this, Meng Da retorted with a little annoyance:

"This Liu Qi has no tolerance for people, why did I come to Xiangyang at the same time as Xiaozhi, he attaches so much importance to Xiaozhi, but ignores me, he treats meritorious ministers like this, how can I oppose him?"

Zhuge Liang laughed loudly:

"It's ridiculous, what are you, dare to say that the lord, if you are really capable and loyal, how can my lord not promote you, but the lord has long seen that you are a two-faced person.

Before sending troops to Yizhou, he also instructed me to take precautions against you. Then I got the news that you really sent someone to collude with Cao Cao, it's really shameless! ”

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Meng Da's face was full of consternation.

He also thought that everything he did was perceived by Zhuge Liang, but he didn't expect to be seen by Liu Qi a long time ago.

This made him somewhat acceptable.

For a while, I didn't know how to refute it.

And Zhuge Liang went on to say:

"You and Fa Xiaozhi went to Xiangyang together, and now Fa Xiaozhi is with the army to conquer Yizhou, but you lead Cao Jun to come, do you think that you can break my Jingzhou, that's too ridiculous!

Now that you have become a captive, I will not kill you, and it will not be too late to deal with it when my lord returns, I don't know if you have the face to see the law again. ”

Meng Da was silent, and there was some regret in his heart.

But now it's too late to think of anything.

From the moment he made his decision, many things were already predestined, and now he has to bear the consequences.

As for Zhang Liao, he was stunned when he heard it.

Even after the conquest of Jingbei, he didn't know much about Liu Qi. After all, Liu Qi's sense of presence in Jingzhou is really not strong, and all affairs are handled by Zhuge Liang.

Liu Qi has been hiding behind the scenes.

Listening to Zhuge Liang's words, although this Liu Qi is quiet, he hides it very deeply, no wonder Jingzhou has changed so much.

This made Zhang Liao a little worried.

Although he has been reduced to a prisoner, he is still Cao Cao's subordinate, and I don't know if Cao Cao can withstand it.

After the decision was made, Zhuge Liang asked the two to be escorted down.

He looked at Xue Li and said:

"Cao Cao sent soldiers and horses here, but he didn't make a big fanfare, I'm afraid he is also plotting the land of Xiliang and Hanzhong now, and we have to be prepared, we can't let Cao Cao act too recklessly.

Before the lord completely takes Xichuan, Cao Cao needs to be delayed. Although the lord transferred Jingzhou soldiers and horses, there are still 60,000 or 70,000 elites available in Jingzhou and Jiangdong. ”

Hearing this, Xue Li already understood Zhuge Liang's intentions.

Anyway, before Liu Qi left, he had already explained the matter, and now Jingzhou and Jiangdong are all in charge of Zhuge Liang.
