Zhang Fei admitted that Dong Zhuo's idea was indeed very safe, and it was also the most correct and safest way, but he also had his own ideas.

He didn't want to sit here and watch the loss of fighters, he was not a person who did not dare to take the initiative.

"What you say is indeed very reasonable, and it is indeed very safe to do so, but in that case, it will cost a lot of food and money."

Zhang Fei said: "The fighter plane is right in front of me, how can I miss it?" If you miss this time, you will have to face a stronger Yanqi country, which will make more soldiers face danger and increase the burden on the imperial court, as a general, I can't sit back and watch the passage of fighters, if I don't have the courage to do this, what soldiers will I bring to fight? ”

As he spoke, Zhang Fei looked at Zhao Qi.

"Captain Zhao, and Lao Dong, don't go to the two of you, this time I will personally take someone to go, if something happens, you will return to Dunhuang County immediately, there should be no accident, if I win, I don't even need to send the main force of the army, right?"

Dong Zhuo was speechless, and Zhao Qi didn't know what to say.

After a long time, Zhao Qi shook his head.

"I can't stop you, but I feel that even if you win this battle, Your Majesty will definitely be angry when you know it, you are the commander of the army, if you have three long and two short, what Your Majesty will do when he is angry, who knows?"

"Then wait until Your Majesty is angry and then explain to Your Majesty!"

Zhang Fei laughed and said: "I Zhang don't have any great talent, only this courage has never been afraid of things!" And Your Majesty...... Although it is very strict, it is still enough to love his subordinates. ”

Zhao Qi could only slander.

Zhang Fei didn't say anything more, went to prepare for the battle, and then according to the usual practice, let the soldiers have a good meal before going to war.

After resting for half an hour, he led two thousand cavalry to turn over and mount, and under the guidance of a reliable guide provided by the former country of the chariot division, the whole army set out a little later.

When Zhang Fei's whole army was dispatched, it was also when the news of his request for the right to act cheaply was sent to Luoyang, and Liu Bei got Zhang Fei's report for the first time and learned about the latest situation in the Western Regions.

Before, Liu Bei also learned some things about Yanqi Kingdom.

Through the records of the court documents, he learned that when Ban Chao was running the Western Regions, a small alliance formed by the Yanqi Kingdom was the last and most difficult group of enemies for Ban Chao to deal with, and after destroying that alliance, Ban Chao was able to establish the ruling hegemony of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the Western Regions.

Therefore, the small countries in the Western Regions were definitely not willing to submit to the rule of the Han Empire from the beginning, and the Han Empire's domination of the Western Regions was not achieved overnight.

Whether it was the Western Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu or the Eastern Han Dynasty against the Northern Xiongnu, they all went through many battles and betrayals before they were able to establish hegemony.

The small countries in the Western Regions also have their own ideas, each has its own camp, and this Yanqi country is an old nail household, which has opposed the Han Empire many times, and has killed many officials and soldiers of the Han Empire.

In fact, when he learned about these contents, Liu Bei felt a little unacceptable, since such a small country dared to do such a thing, why should he keep it?

Is there any concern that it has not been defeated?

Liu Bei did not have as many scruples as Ban Chao, nor did he have as many financial worries as the Second Empire, and his military strength was far stronger than that of the Second Empire.

He was rich, very rich, and could afford to send a large army, so in this matter, Liu Bei did not adopt Xun You's advice to act prudently, but decided to support Zhang Fei's opinion.

In this matter, Xun You suggested that he should observe the situation more before making a decision, and not easily fall into the war, but Liu Bei's opinion was completely different.

"Back then, Chen Tang had a cloud, those who committed strong men will be punished even if they are far away, this sentence is very uplifting, but this sentence is not easy to say, and it is not said once can always be effective."

Liu Bei said aloud at the Privy Council meeting: "Sometimes, we have to settle an account before we fight, and if the benefits are enough, we can fight, and if the benefits are not enough, we can't fight, but sometimes, we can't count money when we fight, and this is not a matter of money, but some more important reasons than money, so we have to fight, we have to fight."

It is a matter of national character and national prestige, no matter how much money it costs, no matter how much effort it takes, no matter how far away it is, no matter how big it is, it must be fought, and it must be won, just like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty resolutely crusaded against the Dawan Kingdom, at all costs, he also wanted to destroy the Dawan Kingdom, and after the First World War, the Western Regions were subdued.

Now, this Yanqi country has caused so much trouble to the Han Dynasty, and now it is still making trouble, since this is the case, then we must tell the countries of the Western Regions in the way of destroying him, not to mention the former country of Cheshi, even if there is one, two, or three, I can still destroy it! Since Dahan has decided to come back, he has no intention of leaving again! ”

So at Liu Bei's request, the Privy Council issued an order to Zhang Fei to act cheaply, and also sent a staff team to give tactical guidance.

In addition, he was also worried that there would not be enough soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, so he took this opportunity to order the twenty-five, twenty-sixth, and twenty-seventh recruits of the Luoyang garrison, so that they were ready to go, and as long as they were ready, they could set off for Liangzhou.

Liu Bei promised them before, Liu Xuande will do what he says, and now is the time to fulfill his promise.

When the three armies learned that they were going to fight, the whole army was happy and didn't want it, and immediately put it in a comprehensive way, waiting to be ready to set off quickly to go to the Western Regions to earn military merits-

To the envy of the other remaining troops!

But there is no way, the object of the emperor's promise is these three recruit armies, these three recruit armies have indeed not fought any battles since their establishment, they train every day, and they are trained fiercely, but they are useless, and they will be discouraged by anyone.

So this time they went out, and there really wasn't much to shout.

Should I say it or not, the matter of opening up the Western Regions has always been a hot topic in the Han army.

The Ban family crisscrossed the Western Regions, as well as the story of the three links and three uniques in the Western Regions, and the story of the thirteen soldiers returning to Yumen, which was widely spread in the army, and basically the soldiers knew it, so for the Western Regions, the soldiers had a special emotion.

Now that they are going to the Western Regions, how can they not be excited?

At this moment, Liu Bei still didn't know the extremely explosive moves made by Yan Qiguo in the midst of a major predicament, and of course he didn't know the targeted decisions made by Zhang Fei, a super macho man, in the predicament.

But this is the case with ancient wars, there is fog everywhere, there are unexplored areas everywhere, generals march to fight, there are really a lot of gambling elements, if you win the bet, then you win, if you lose the bet, then there is no way, you can only admit it and run away quickly.

A soldier immortal like Han Xin is not available at any time, and a peerless genius born for war like Huo Quzhi cannot be born in any era.

Zhang Fei thinks that he is just a mediocre person, and it is impossible to have the ability and achievements of Han Xin and Huo Quzhi at the military level, nor do he have such talent, but he feels that he only has the courage not to lose to these two.

Fight bravely, he is not afraid of anyone.

He also knows how important it is to have guts on the battlefield.

Liu Bei told him that in a real war, there is too much fog of war, and the commanders of both sides are in the fog, and it is too difficult to find the real right path, and many times they are forced to fight because they don't have time to find the right path.

But luckily, this is true of you, and so is your enemy, who also faces a fog of war.

So, this is a situation where the brave wins.

In many cases, the decisive outcome of a battle may really be a showdown between the tenacity of the leadership of both sides, if you feel that you have lost, then you have really lost, otherwise, you have not lost.

Therefore, he did not hesitate for a long time, and took two thousand Han horses to gallop wildly and take the city of Yanqi King.

The terrain in the country of Yanqi is uneven, the roads are difficult and dangerous, and it is not easy for the cavalry to gallop for a while, and they often have to walk for a while, and it is quite difficult to advance, and the speed has to be reduced.

However, according to the guide, although this road is difficult, it is already a relatively safe and reliable road, and the other roads will only be more difficult.

Zhang Fei didn't pick either, and the soldiers under his command didn't pick either, everyone was a hob meat killed in a bloody battle, and after joining the Han army to follow Liu Bei, what hardships did you not suffer?

Among the Tiger Cavalry under Zhang Fei, there are still many veterans who followed Liu Bei to fight the Liangzhou Resistance War that year, and they have done everything in their lives, are they still afraid of this small obstacle?

In just four days, Zhang Fei led his troops to overcome the hardships and dangers, and killed from the former country of Cheshi to a small earthen city near the Yanqi King City, and then waved his army to take this small earthen city, and obtained some food and fuel in it.

Zhang Fei was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the whole army to rest, bury the pot and cook, let the soldiers eat another hot meal, relieve the difficulties caused by the continuous journey and eating dry food, and two hours later, he turned over his horse again, and the whole army took the city of Yanqi King.

At the same time, there were not many soldiers and horses stationed in the city of King Yanqi, because the army was divided into four parts and went on a mission.

Long Wei, the younger brother of the king of Yanqi, Long Wei, his uncle Long Yong, and his cronies Ali Bu each led a group of men and horses to clean up the Moshan Kingdom, the Weixu Kingdom and the Yuli Kingdom.

For the Yanqi State, this is also a very risky action, it is a gamble, the bet is that the Han Empire can't react, can only watch, and the other three countries did not expect the Yanqi State to act suddenly, and in a hurry, they could not resist, and could only fail.

This is a big gamble, and Zhang Fei is a gamble of a nature, the two groups of people don't know whether their respective actions can succeed, and they don't know what the other party's actions are, but in this matter, they all chose to gamble.

Betting, not only to fight luck, but also to see the strength, not enough luck, no matter how strong the strength is, it is useless, luck is enough, the strength is too poor, and you can't catch it.

So at this moment, these two extremely sharp confrontations are a-for-tat gamble.

And obviously, Liu Bei is a lucky guy, and Zhang Fei, as his sworn brother, is somewhat infected by his good luck.

He was fast enough to appear outside the city of the king of Yanqi before the Yanqi Kingdom could react, and without saying a word, he launched a surprise attack on the royal city, rushing into the city made of earth and stones, bringing a huge shock and unprecedented blow to everything in the city, and plunging the entire city into unprecedented chaos.

For Zhang Fei, who has seen super-large cities such as Chang'an and Luoyang, the royal city of Yanqi is just a small earthen city that can no longer be smaller, and even has a bit of the meaning of Liangzhou County, but for Yanqi itself, it is already a very prosperous and vast city with strong defensive power.

So when Long Li learned that the Han army appeared in the city, he was directly stunned, he couldn't believe it was true at all, and he didn't think it was true, he felt that something must be wrong.

But the faint shouts of killing and the huge noise will not lie, the truth will never lie, the Han army has indeed reached the doorstep, and is even rapidly approaching in the direction of the palace, and the defenders in the city are retreating one after another, and they cannot resist the Han army's troops at all.

What's going on?

Why did the Han army appear in the royal city?

What's going on?

Long Qi didn't know anything, he didn't even react when the guards wanted to protect him from retreating, he just felt that he might need to pinch his face to make sure he wasn't dreaming, but in the real world.

After that, the intense pain told him that everything he was experiencing was not false, but real.

The Han army has really fought, and the Han army has really broken through his royal city and begun to threaten his life.

This situation was something he didn't take into account, he had discussed many ways to deal with emergencies with his subordinates of the main battle faction before, and considered a variety of emergencies, and even the small probability of failing to attack Moshan Country was taken into account by them.

But only the Han army's raid on the royal city has not been considered, or in other words, normal people will not consider this possibility.

The Han army's raid on the royal city required brave generals, strong decision-making, the courage to take responsibility, reliable guides, and the enormous pressure of the risk of total annihilation after defeat.

All of this meant that the Han army's raid on the royal city was an extremely small probability event, so during the discussion, no one among the elites of the Yanqi Kingdom had raised this possibility, but on the contrary, this possibility became a reality.

Who to talk to?

Protected by his guards, Long Qi was killed out of the palace in a state of confusion, trying to move to safety.

However, the Han army's iron cavalry pursued closely, once again surrounded them all, surrounded and killed, the pro-guards could not resist the Han army's soldiers, and a large number of people died, and in the end only a dozen people were left to protect Long Qi for the final battle.

The royal city was breached by the Han army, many people died, and the overall situation could no longer be reversed.

Soon, Zhang Fei, who was covered in blood, came to the side of the more than ten guards who were stubbornly resisting, looked at the extraordinarily dressed man who was protected in the middle, and realized that the man should be the king of Yanqi Kingdom.

"Lao Dong and they did a little too much before, such a person who violates the majesty of the Han should be captured alive and then sent to His Majesty, so that His Majesty can decide his life and death, instead of cutting it down directly.

At any time, it is not the right thing to directly cut off these troublesome thieves and send them back to Luoyang for His Majesty to dispose of, so they must live. ”

Zhang Fei grinned, imparted his experience to the generals around him, and by the way, set the finale of Long Li.

And the finale of Long Qi did not go against Zhang Fei's wishes.

Under the siege of the Han army, more than a dozen of his personal guards were soon killed, and during this period, Long Qi put his horizontal knife on his neck, looking like he was going to kill himself, but until the Han army pounced on him and took away his long knife, he did not make up his mind to kill himself.

It seems that he is not ready to kill himself, nor does he want to lose his life so early.

In the end, he was tied up with a lot of flowers, and all his family members were caught, only a few of them were killed with knives or killed themselves with knives, and most of them were captured alive and did not dare to commit suicide, although they had plenty of time to commit suicide.

However, most of the rulers are desperate for their lives, even if Chongzhen is desperate to commit suicide for dignity, there are very few.

Even if they are captured, they have to survive for a long time, which is the majority.
