Back to the Three Kingdoms

The eagle and Yang army slammed into the Xiliang army from the side and charged fiercely! The Xiliang Army, which was fighting a frontal eagle and Yang army, suddenly became turbulent! The more and more the Ying Yang army fought, the more courageous and courageous they went forward, the roar was thundering like a tiger! That Zhang Liao took the lead, and there was no one in his hand. In a short while, several of Li Que's generals were killed by his sword!

The Xiliang Army gradually couldn't resist it, and was eventually overwhelmed by the Yingyang Army! The Xiliang army collapsed, turning around and fleeing, making a mess! The Ying Yang army pursued for a while, but couldn't catch up with the Xiliang army who was a cavalry at all, so they stopped chasing and retreated back to the city.

Li Que was defeated for a while under Tianshui City and ran for more than a dozen miles. Seeing that the enemy army did not catch up, he stopped to gather the defeated soldiers. After doing some statistics, I found that there were more than 20,000 soldiers left. In such a fiasco, there were still more than 20,000 soldiers left. Marco said that the loss was not great. Mainly because the Eagle and Yang army facing this time had no cavalry but infantry and chariots. These units were only suitable for war duels. It was impossible to chase down the cavalry. Therefore, although the Yingyang Army won a great victory, the results were not particularly remarkable.

Tang Lan asked Li Que: "General, what should we do now?"

Li Que looked at the demoralized and exhausted subordinates, and knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to turn defeat into victory in Tianshui with his own strength. After thinking for a while, he said, "Retreat to Hanyang, and then make plans." Hanyang here is naturally not Hanyang in Hubei. It was the seat of the Hanyang prefecture in Xiliang area at that time. It was also on the south bank of Weishui River, about eighty miles west of Tianshui. Like Tianshui, it is one of the most important cities on the south bank of Weishui River.

It is said that after Chen Lang arrived in time to rescue Jincheng, he stopped at Jincheng and waited for the follow-up troops to arrive. Soon after, the follow-up troops retreated from Xiliang one after another, carrying a large number of food, grass, gold and silver treasures that Dong Zhuo had originally stored in Xiliang. I saw a group of troops next to the army, carts and carts stretched continuously, and the huge rattle of heavy vehicles reverberated between the sky and the earth. Those vehicles carried all the goods and materials that Dong Zhuo had managed to search for over the years, but Now they have become the spoils of the Ying Yang army!

Two days later, the last unit responsible for the severance also withdrew. At this point, all the soldiers and horses who attacked Xiliang have retreated.

Standing on the city wall, Chen Lang looked at the setting sun in the distance with a thoughtful expression on his face. Fan Si stood behind Chen Lang.

A messenger who was a servant of the wind and dust rushed up, clasped his fists and reported: "Master, General Zhang Liao has captured Tianshui not long ago!..."

Chen Lang was very surprised. He turned around and said with a smile; "Wen Yuan gave me a surprise!"

The messenger continued: "It seems that Li Que led the army back to Tianshui to retake Tianshui, but was successfully ambushed outside the city by General Zhang Liao. Li Que defeated the loss and has now retreated to Hanyang."

Chen Lang smiled and nodded, "Okay! In this way, we don't have to worry about anything before Dong Zhuo's main army rushes over." Then he said to the messenger: "You rush back and tell Wen Yuan, immediately take Tianshui's The reserve was transported back to Chang'an, and the surplus family properties of those gentry were confiscated and distributed to the local civilians." The messenger clasped his fists and ran down. The surplus property in Chen Lang's mouth refers to the remaining property after leaving enough property for the gentry to meet a well-off life. Those Chen Lang will be confiscated. However, this violent measure is only aimed at the Confucian scholars. Others, such as merchants, are forbidden to harm no matter how rich they are.

Chen Lang ordered a 2,000-man troop to guard Jincheng, and then ordered other troops to return to Chang'an one after another with a large amount of spoils.

It is said that after Zhang Liao repelled Li Que, he began to prepare to defend Tianshui while waiting for Chen Lang's order. On this day, Chen Lang's order came. After listening to the order conveyed by the messenger, Zhang Liao was surprised and asked, "Why did the lord do this? Is it because he wants to give up Tianshui?"

The messenger said: "The lord means that Dong Zhuo's main force will attack in the future. Our current force in the Guanzhong Xiliang area is limited and difficult to defend. Therefore, we must abandon the occupied land!"

Zhang Liao nodded thoughtfully, and immediately summoned all the generals, and ordered the transfer of Tianshui's money and grain as well as the home search according to Chen Lang's intention.

Tianshui City was originally very quiet, but this afternoon, it suddenly became noisy. The people in Tianshui City suddenly saw a group of Yingyang army officers and soldiers rushing into the big brother's house, and the shouts were loudly loud one after another. The people didn't know it, they were terrified, thinking that the Yingyang army was going to slaughter the city like other armies!

At this time, soldiers from the Yingyang Army chanted gongs along the street: "Don’t be afraid, folks. Because the Confucian clans have colluded and rebelled, our army is dealing with them and will never hurt the folks. In addition, our army feels the folks Life is difficult, so a relief field was opened outside the government office, where ordinary people can go to receive money, food and relief...." Yingyang soldiers repeated these words while knocking on the gong.

The people's nervousness could not help calming down. Many people went to the government office to collect money and food with the mentality of giving it a try, but they did receive it. This surprised all the people in the city, and they all rushed to the front of the government office. Suddenly, there were empty alleys in Tianshui City, and no one paid any attention to the Confucian clans who had been copied.

Zhang Fengtian was shocked when he received the news that the Ying Yang army was copying the family of the Confucian clans in the city. The whole family could not help but panic when they heard the noisy noise outside. The servants all surreptitiously escaped, leaving only the Zhang Fengtian family and a few loyal servants to stay at home, waiting tremblingly for the appearance of the Ying Yang army.

However, time continued to pass, from noon to afternoon, from afternoon to dusk, until the sky fell dark, the expected scene of looting the house did not appear.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but said excitedly: "It must be because of Yuanyuan!"

auzw.com Zhang Fengtian's heart moved, and then he smiled bitterly: "This way, how can our Zhang family gain a foothold in Tianshui!" After thinking about it, he said decisively: "I'm going to see that. General Zhang Liao!" Mrs. Zhang smiled; "Master should have done this long ago!"

An army officer rushed to report to Zhang Liao; "General, when we were copying Zhao Ang's house, then Zhao Ang hit the wall and killed himself!"

Zhang Liao thought for a while and asked, "Is Zhao Ang that famous local scholar?"

The officer nodded.

Zhang Liao didn't care about it and said: "It's his own business to want to die. If you die, you should die." Looking at the officer, "Where are his family members?"

The officer said: "His family members suddenly disappeared after he died, and they are missing!"

Zhang Liao said: "This is just a small matter, don't worry about it. Go on." The officer promised and ran down.

As soon as the officer got down, a soldier rushed in and reported: "General, Miss Dong's grandfather, see you!"

Zhang Liao's heart moved, and he didn't dare to neglect, so he hurried out. Seeing Zhang Fengtian standing at the door, he immediately stepped forward and clasped his fists: "I don't know if the old man is coming, forgive me!"

When Zhang Fengtian saw Zhang Liao coming out to greet him in person, he was only flattered, and hurriedly replied: "Cao Min has seen the general!"

Zhang Liao asked: "Old gentleman, please come in!" Zhang Fengtian said in prayer; "Thank you!" The two entered the gate and came to the hall to divide the guest and the host to sit down.

Zhang Liao apologized: "Because of the busy military affairs, I have not been able to visit the old man. Please forgive me!"

Zhang Fengtian didn't dare to say anything, and then asked inexplicably: "The old man wants to ask the general, I wonder if the little daughter and granddaughter are doing well in Luoyang?" Zhang Liao smiled and said, "They are naturally doing well, and the lord treats Miss Dong. It can be said to be very pampered!"

Zhang Fengtian nodded, as if he wanted to talk but stopped.

Zhang Liao saw that Zhang Fengtian clearly wanted to say something, and smiled. "The old man is Miss Dong's grandfather, and the lord can be said to be a family. If you have anything, just say it!"

When Zhang Fengtian heard this, he bluntly said: "It is true that since my little daughter and granddaughter went to Luoyang, our Zhang family has been squeezed out by Dong Zhuo, and life is not sad. Now that the general is here, I wonder if I can ask for it. The general sent someone to send our family away from here to Luoyang. It's good to have a family reunion!"

Zhang Liao smiled and said: "This is a trivial matter. Just let me know when the old man wants to leave, and I immediately send someone to take the old man's family to Luoyang."

Zhang Fengtian was very happy to see that things went so smoothly. He stood up and said, "Thank you General, then!" Zhang Liao smiled and clasped his fists: "You don't have to be polite, old gentleman!"

Zhang Fengtian returned home and told the family about this, and the family members were very happy. Mrs. Zhang happily said: "Now it's all right, we can finally reunite with Huan'er and Yuanyuan! Alas, we should have passed long ago!" Zhang Fengtian said, "Although this is the case, it was not convenient before! "Then he said with a gratified expression: "Looking at that Zhang Liao's polite appearance to me, I think our family Yuanyuan is very much favored by Chen Lang! We should not be sad when we go to Luoyang!"

Mrs. Zhang said in an unpleasant manner: "Now you say so, but you couldn't let go of the many fields before!" Mrs. Zhang said this because before Mrs. Dong and Dong Yuan went to Luoyang, Zhang Fengtian still held his mind. The main reason for the attitude of loyalty to Dong Zhuo is because the foundation of his Zhang family is in Xiliang, in Tianshui, it is difficult for him to give up all of a sudden.

Zhang Fengtian smiled awkwardly, and then said with a reluctant expression on his face: "Our family has been in Tianshui for more than two hundred years, and I am a little bit reluctant to leave now!"

Mrs. Zhang said in an unpleasant manner: "If there is a great chaos today, to keep the Patriarch alive and well, you can only choose a lord who is strong enough to dominate the world, otherwise, sooner or later you will lose more fields! I think Chen Lang is the one to rely on. The overlord!"

When Zhang Fengtian heard these words, he only felt divine enlightenment, his heart suddenly became bright, and he smiled and nodded and said; "Madam's words are extremely true!"
