Back to the Three Kingdoms

Everyone couldn't help being surprised when they heard this. The strong leader said in a puzzled way: "We haven't even begun to march, why did Niu Fu and the others leave?"

The older headman sneered and said, "Niu Fu is a smart man. He already feels that we have the idea of ​​killing him. Knowing that even if we help us break Xiliang, it will be difficult to survive, so he ran away in a hurry!"

The strong leader immediately shouted: "Let's send someone to chase after him!" All the leaders agreed. The older leader said: "No need! The main force of Dong Zhuo's army is fighting the Yingyang army in the front. Xiliang must not have many defenders. Even without Niufu's help, we can easily take Xiliang. Now we are taking Xiliang. Treasure is the most important thing, so don't worry about the useless Niu Fu!" Everyone felt that what he said made sense, and they couldn't help but nod their heads.

The Qiang people left Zhangye, which had almost turned into a ruin, and the whole army headed towards Xiliang City. Everyone was excited, and the plundered gains in Zhangye were far from filling their appetites. They only wanted to seize the countless gold and silver treasures hoarded in Xiliang City in the legend.

He turned his eyes back to the east.

It is said that Guo Bang led twenty to thirty thousand remnants in a hurry to cross the river and meet Dong Zhuo. However, as Jincheng prefect Yufeng surrendered Chen Lang and burned the pontoon bridge, Guo Bang had to give up crossing the river from Jincheng, and led his army upstream to prepare to get from the Yellow River. Find a place somewhere upstream to cross the Yellow River. However, it was the spring flood and the river was overflowing. Guo Bang and the others had walked dozens of miles along the road, and they were tired of people and horses. Not to mention the place where they were waded to cross the river, there was no river with gentle water flow for them to build pontoon bridges.

Seeing that the soldiers and horses under his command were exhausted, Guo Bin had to order the soldiers and horses to rest on the spot.

That night, it rained heavily and the wind screamed, causing the branches and trees to fly in the sky. The only tents of Guo Ben's army were all blown away by the strong wind. All the horses had to huddle and endure hard in the wind and rain, their morale was extremely low. Looking at this stormy night, Guo Bang couldn't help cursing, "Could it be that God, you thief, can't be right with me?"

Everyone finally got through the day of the next day, and the people and horses became like a chicken. It's really sad!

Guo Bang cheered up and prepared to lead his army to move on. At this moment, the scout suddenly came to report: "It's not good, the general! The Ying Yang army is surrounding!"

The generals of Guo Bang's army were terrified, and Guo Bang hurriedly ordered all the troops to go up high and prepare to defend. Before all the armies fully ascended the heights, the Eagle Yang army in the distance surrounded them like a tide, led by Li Que's tens of thousands of warriors.

Seeing that it was Li Que, Guo Pan screamed: "Li Que, Taishi treats you not so badly, you have betrayed Taishi!!" Li Que rode his horse to the hillside and said with his fists, "Brother Guo! Brother! It's not that I want to betray the Taishi, but good birds choose trees and live there. General Yingyang is a hero of the world, and if we can work for it, it would be very lucky! Moreover, General Yingyang has a saying very well. The truth is, how can we Han people collude with the Xianbei Hulu? If we do this, I will be scolded after thousands of years! Brother Guo, listening to the little brother’s advice, General Yingyang is a surviving master, so you will submit. General! So you and I can work together to create a great cause!"

Guo Bang showed hesitation on his face.

Li Que continued: "Brother Guo has done his best to Dong Zhuo! It's a pity that Dong Zhuo is a mediocre person and can't fight against the lord at all! Such an ending can be said to be doomed long ago! Brother Guo Wulue is rare in the world, if By dying like this, wouldn't it be worthy of the ability of this life?! The lord is only for his own sake, and if Brother Guo is under the lord’s command, he will definitely be able to make an achievement that will illuminate future generations! This way, he will be worthy of his life as a man! "

Guo Ben was finally moved, and he clasped his fist and said, "Thank you, Brother Li, for reminding me, otherwise I would have mistaken myself!" Li Que was overjoyed, and said, "Brother Guo gave up secretly and voted for the bright. It's really a great joy! So let me visit the lord!"

...

Guo Bang voted sincerely, and the main force of Dong Zhuo's army can be said to be almost annihilated. The great warlord who had previously occupied Luoyang to make the world's princes feel terrified and disappeared in the wind and smoke of history, replaced by Chen Lang, this man who shouldn't belong to this era!

Chen Lang incorporated the remnants of Dong Zhuo's army and prepared to send an envoy to persuade Dong Zhuo to return. After all, he was his old husband, so he couldn't really beat him to death.

However, as soon as the messenger was dispatched, Zhang Ji's messenger arrived. He anxiously reported to Chen Langdi: "Open to the lord, the Qiang army suddenly came to Xiliang City and stormed the city. General Zhang Ji was about to be unable to resist it. I beg the lord to send an army to rescue!"

It is said that the Qiang people gathered under Xiliang City with the thought of looting Xiliang City, and attacked on all sides. Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew led the army and the people to resist, but the two of them only had less than 10,000 people. Under the continuous onslaught of more than 100,000 enemy troops, the situation was in jeopardy! In less than two days, Xiliang City was about to be unstoppable. The originally strong city wall seemed to be crumbling after the surging sea wall, as if it would be difficult to hold on!

auzw.com On the third day, in the early hours of the morning, when the first rays of the sun fell, the unique drums of the Qiang people thundered and remembered that hundreds of thousands of Qiang people were everywhere. Pounce on the city like a beast! Zhang Jijun desperately resisted, and the walls were surrounded by danger!

At this critical moment, a cavalry of less than two thousand men suddenly appeared in the east with the rising sun! Immediately, they launched a charge against the Qiang army outside the city, and the two thousand warriors raised the smoke and dust, rushing into the enemy's line like a tiger, and the **** battle went forward! The Qiang people fought hard to resist, but they couldn't resist the momentum of a tiger and leopard rush, and their feet were shaken! The general in front, wearing a unicorn helmet, wearing a red brocade robe, holding a dragon cavalry spear, is heroic! Rushing into the enemy's battlefield, where the Dragon Cavalry spear passes, the Qiangs can't stop them from turning on their backs! More than a dozen Qiang warlords roared and killed them, and the generals passed through like lightning. Seeing more than a dozen Qiang warlords turned their backs on their backs! More than a dozen Titans are so vulnerable! The Qiang soldiers were shocked and exclaimed again and again, and the army began to retreat! Nahan will go straight to the Dao Qiang People's Congress, and with a single shot, a leader will jump off the horse. The Chinese army shakes, and the army suddenly becomes chaotic. It can no longer withstand the impact and trample of the opponent's cavalry, and retreat like the ebb tide!

...

The Qiang retreated more than a dozen li and went back to the village. When they were shocked, everyone looked at each other. The strong Qiang leader couldn't help exclaiming: "This person is really a mighty and mighty general!" Everyone also had lingering fears.

It is said that Ma Chao repelled the Qiang, and then entered the city. Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu came to see him immediately and thanked Ma Chao for his salvation. Ma Chao said: "The enemy army is powerful, our army just caught them by surprise! The enemy army will definitely come again, you don't have to do a good job of defense!" Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu promised.

Zhang Ji asked, "General Ma Chao, please command me to wait!"

Ma Chao waved his hand and said, "No! This defensive responsibility is given to the general by the main bus. How can I go beyond it!" Then he asked, "Is there any news about Dong Zhuo?"

Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu looked at each other, and Zhang Xiu clasped his fists and said: "We have just received news that Dong Zhuo has been killed by Niu Fu in Zhangye!"

Ma Chao frowned, and then sneered: "Niu Fu is not a loyal minister and righteous man. It's no surprise to do this kind of thing!" Then he asked the two of them: "If you say that, the Qiang people are now leading the attack on Xiliang. It's Niu Fu?" Zhang Ji shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. I waited for two days to fight with him, but I didn't see Niu Fu." Ma Chao looked thoughtful.

It is said that Chen Lang led the army to Jincheng, Jincheng prefect Yu Feng led his troops out of the city to greet him.

Chen Lang appeased Yu Feng for a while, and then gave an order; "Quickly adjust the manpower to cut down trees to build a pontoon bridge!" Yu Feng reported; "Return to the lord, the subordinates of the pontoon have been built a few days ago. The lord can use it at any time. Chen Lang was a little surprised, smiled and nodded, and said: "You did a good job!" Yu Feng was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "It is an honor for his subordinates to work for the master!"

Chen Lang immediately said to the generals: "If the order continues, the army will not stay here, and immediately cross the Yellow River!" The generals clasped their fists and promised. The order was passed on quickly. The army bypassed Jincheng and crossed the river directly from the Yellow River floating bridge.

At this moment, a messenger who was a servant of the wind and dust rushed to the front of Chen Lang, strangled the horse, turned over, and reported: "Thanks to the lord, General Ma Chao recently raided the Qiang people and repelled the Qiang people. More than ten miles!"

Chen Lang couldn't help but be overjoyed and praised; "Okay! It's really Ma Chao!"

Dong Yuan next to Chen Lang hurriedly asked the messenger: "Is there any news about my father?"

The messenger showed a hesitant expression. Chen Lang felt that something might have happened, and said: "If you have anything, just say it."

The messenger promised and said to Dong Yuan: "Return to Miss, we have received news that Master Dong Zhuo was killed by Niu Fu."

Dong Yuan was shocked and shouted; "What did you say?"

The messenger said: "Dong Zhuo retreated to Zhangye. Niu Fu took the Qiang people to break through Zhangye. I heard that Lord Dong Zhuo was killed by Niu Fu at that time!"

Dong Yuan only felt that her eyes were dark, and her whole body was shaky. Chen Lang had been paying attention to Dong Yuan a long time ago. Seeing that Dong Yuan was doing this, he hugged her quickly. Dong Yuan came back to her senses, and grabbed Chen Lang by the skirt of his clothes and shouted: "I don't believe this is true! This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How could Niu Fu betray his father?" Chen Lang sighed in her heart and nodded: "Don't worry, this should be a rumor." Then he ordered the generals: "Send the army to speed up the march!"

On the other side, after being repelled by Ma Chao, the Qiang was unwilling to fail, and soon came to attack Xiliang again. Ma Chao single-handedly went out of the city to challenge, and even cut the 23 strong generals of the Qiang people, superb! The Qiang people were frightened, only feeling that the enemy general in front of him was not a mortal at all, but an invincible god! Ma Chao rushed into the battle alone, and hundreds of thousands of Qiangs were defeated like a mountain and fled!
