When Zhou Shen heard this, he said in surprise: "You also ambushed Bao Hong's department and Yuan Peng's department at the same time?" How did you guess that our officers and troops would definitely attack in a big way, so as to set up an ambush in advance? Ouch! ”

Before Zhou Shen could finish speaking, Zhang Xiu threw another whip and said, "If you dare to speak to my brother in such a tone again, be careful of your dog's life!" ”

Ma Chao smiled: "Such a fool, killing it will still dirty the knife." Let's keep it for now, take it to Chang'an City, and let Huangfu Yizhen take a good look, his general is here in our army, and he will hit the morale of the defenders of Chang'an. ”

"The young master is clever!"

……………………………………………………

After Ma Chao finished cleaning up Zhou Shen, within half an hour, Huangfu Song, who was sitting on the tower above the straight gate of Chang'an City, was sitting on a chair with a golden knife, and in his trembling right hand, he was tightly pinching two pieces of rough and thick Caihou paper.

With puffy eyes, looking at a few lines of words on the two pieces of Caihou paper, Huangfu Song let out a long sigh, thinking to himself, he was on Ma Chao's way again.

Huangfu Song reluctantly let go, two pieces of Caihou paper fell to the ground, only to see two pieces of paper full of folded traces, respectively written "the last general Bao Hong led 1,500 horsemen out of the city, in the ambush, the cavalry was lost, only forty or fifty horsemen were left to return to the city" and "the last general Yuan Peng led the army out of the city, met the Xiliang convoy on the bank of Weishui, hit it, the convoy was all Xiliang soldiers, fled, and another Xiliang iron cavalry killed, the last general was only spared."

After reading the letter, Huang Fusong couldn't bear the headache and pressed his temples vigorously with his fingers, but the pain did not subside at all, but became more and more intense.

Just when Huangfu Song had a headache, the big drums on both sides of the city tower were suddenly hit violently, which frightened Huangfu Song.

Huangfu Song just wanted to reprimand the drummer, but he heard a sergeant shouting: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! ”

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers defending the city rushed to the battlements and raised their bows and crossbows. Huangfu Song realized something, ran to the battlement, and immediately saw that on the plain west of Chang'an City, there was a large group of people and horses, holding countless flags, slowly attacking Chang'an City, who was not Xiliang Tieqi?

Xiliang Tie rode as usual, and on the vast flat ground between Taiye Pool and Shenmingtai, lined up neatly, and there was a big pole in front of the formation, and under the big sword was Ma Chao.

Ma Chao looked at the city tower above the Zhicheng Gate, and saw that Huangfu Song was indeed there, and there were also many soldiers in the official army, gathered on the Zhicheng Gate, and on the two city towers above the Yongmen and Zhangcheng Gates on both sides of the Zhicheng Gate, there were also many officers and soldiers.

When the timing was good, Ma Chao raised his hand and waved, Ma Dai nodded, rode to the rear, and ordered a sergeant to use a horse lance to carry a group of people whose hands were tied and strung together, and walked forward and stopped in front of the formation.

As soon as Huangfu Song saw it, he understood that those people were the soldiers of the official army this time, and there were about 3,000 people. When the officers and soldiers saw this, they exchanged their heads and ears, and their panic grew like weeds on the city wall.

Looking at it, Huangfu Song didn't see Zhou Shen in it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, it was too embarrassing to let the Xiliang Army capture the senior generals of the official army alive.

At this moment, in the middle of the Xiliang army's large array, a high-pitched and piercing sound suddenly sounded, it was a donkey's bark. The donkey has just been introduced into the Central Plains from the Western Regions at this time, and Liu Hong is particularly fond of today's son, and it will be very good at the top, and the ministers in Luoyang City are also eager for the donkey. Huangfu Song is also an important minister in the court, so Huang Fu Song also knows that it is a donkey barking.

Immediately afterwards, Huangfu Song saw that in the large array of the Xiliang army, there was a Xiliang soldier leading a donkey and walking out of the formation unhurriedly. On the back of the donkey, there was a man dressed in a colorful woman's clothes, of course, Zhou Shen.

Zhou Shen was tied with his hands, wearing a red and green dress, and his face was smeared with bright red rouge, riding on the back of a donkey, and the donkey barked when he took a step.

As the donkey carried Zhou Shen and marched towards the formation, the soldiers of Xiliang saw it, and they responded with enthusiastic cheers and whistles, foul language, and laughter. When one of the soldiers saw that the donkey was walking too slowly, he stepped forward and whipped the donkey. The donkey was in pain and ran quickly, but Zhou Shen was caught off guard and fell to the ground, extremely embarrassed. The soldiers hurriedly helped Zhou Shen up with a smile and helped him onto the back of the donkey.

When he came to the front of the battle, Ma Chao saw Zhou Shen with a loveless face, with a colorful woman's dress, and couldn't help but join in this carnival, laughing with the soldiers of the whole army, and the Xiliang army formation turned into a sea of laughter.

Ma Chao ordered the sergeant to lead the donkey and carry Zhou Shen to the front hall of Jianzhang Palace, dozens of steps away is the straight gate of Chang'an City. The officers and soldiers took in Zhou Shen's embarrassment. Seeing that General Lian Tangtang was also captured alive and humiliated like this, the hearts of the officers and soldiers were mixed, and the sighs spread on the walls of Chang'an City.

Huangfu Song couldn't help sighing, and regretted infinitely in his heart, regretting that he shouldn't have listened to Zhou Shen's advice, which led to this big defeat.

Seeing that the goal of demoralizing had been achieved, Ma Chao ordered the sergeant to pull Zhou Shen back, and ordered the Xiliang army to retreat three miles and establish a large camp west of Chang'an City. Ma Chao plans to prepare for a protracted war, wait for the right time, and wait for a plan to come up with a plan before attacking Chang'an City.

When Ma Chao was supervising the construction of the camp by the soldiers, Jia Xu rushed over and saluted.

Ma Chao thought that Ma Teng or Cheng Gongying had news to pass to him, so he asked: "Is it my father, or Cheng Gongying?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "No, the lord and Cheng Gongying are busy transporting back a large number of Sanfu family property and migrating 200,000 people, everything is going very smoothly, and there is no trouble for the young lord to bother for the time being." This time, the messenger came, and it was Jian Shuo. ”

"Jian Shuo?" Ma Chao was a little surprised, since the last time he secretly formed an alliance with Jian Shuo, Jian Shuo only sent back messages occasionally, mostly just greetings, and there was no substantial help.

Jia Xu said: "Jian Shuo reported that the general He Jin and the Taifu Yuan Kui jointly asked His Majesty to issue an edict, declaring the lord and the young master traitors, and asking the emperor to lead the army to fight. But His Majesty disagreed, quarreled with the two, and parted unhappily. He asked the young master again, does Huangfu Song have any offensive moves at present? ”

Ma Chao heard this, and said suspiciously: "In other words, Huangfu Songzhi started a war with our army, and His Majesty did not give permission to do so?" At present, the capital has not learned that Huangfu Song has started a war with our army? I don't know that the war situation has developed to the point where our army is approaching Chang'an City? ”

Jia Xu said: "It should be like this, it only took a few days for our army to defeat the official army, and it is impossible for the capital to get the news in such a short time." It must be the generals He Jin and Taifu Yuan Kui, who ordered Huangfu Song to go to war against our army behind their backs. ”
