"Haha, what the Gongtai said is not bad. Now that Luyang is down, Wancheng is still in the hands of Chang Yuan Shu, the chief of the Shishi Liu. Having 10,000 troops is a problem that is a confidant."

Zhang Xiu nodded with a smile, and then he saw that Chen Gong seemed confident, and couldn't help but ask, "What can I teach me on the official platform?"

Chen Gong did not answer directly, but smiled and pointed to the strong man next to him, saying, "This is Zhang Yan, the general of Yuan Shu, and General Zhang. After the city of Luyang was broken, General Zhang immediately led his troops to surrender."

"The sinner will pay homage to the Han Shouhou." This general named Zhang Yan quickly saluted humbly.

No one expected that the city would be captured so quickly, and no one expected that the person who led these five thousand elite soldiers was Zhang Xiu himself.

If they had known this news, they might have burned the food and fodder as soon as possible, abandoned the city and fled.

Zhang Xiu!!! He is so powerful that he is the world. Without any real ability, who can stop him?

Zhang Xiu showed a thoughtful look, pinched his chin, looked up at Zhang Yan, and then looked at Chen Gong. Chen Gong nodded to him gently. Zhang Xiu understood and looked up to Zhang Yan and said, "General Zhang was just coerced by Yuan Shu, why is it a crime?"

After a pause, Zhang Xiu smiled openly and said, "The general also heard the conversation between me and the public station just now. I am worried about Wancheng. I asked the general Dian Wei to lead a thousand elite soldiers to follow you. Are you willing to help me open the city gate?"

"If things are done, I will convey the general's merits to the emperor and be appointed as the marquis."

"What's wrong?!!!" Zhang Yan was both surprised and happy, and quickly agreed to the promise. He had seen the combat effectiveness of Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses with his own eyes. As long as he entered the city, a thousand elite soldiers could defeat tens of thousands of people.

This free chance of being named a marquis and a general is a fool who doesn't go.

"Okay, the general is really a hero." Zhang Xiu laughed and did not hide his appreciation. Then, he asked Dian Wei to lead a thousand elite soldiers to go to Wancheng with Zhang Yan to open the city gate.

"If things succeed, Sun Jian, Cao Cao will lose his position and he will be captured by me." Zhang Xiu was in a good mood and was a little nervous. He stood up and carried his hands on his back, paced back and forth, and said with a smile.

This is Sun Jian, Cao Cao...

............

Luyang City is one or two hundred miles away from Wancheng. It takes one day to marching infantry troops.

Zhang Xiu's men and horses were elite. Although it was a noisy night, he still put all his strength into following Dian Wei and Zhang Yan and marched quickly. The next afternoon, he arrived outside Wancheng City.

The city of Wancheng is taller and stronger than Luyang, and of course it is more difficult to conquer.

Under the banner of the "Zhang" character, Zhang Yan was wearing a black armor, covered with blood, and her helmet was even tilted, looking very embarrassed.

A thousand elite soldiers behind him were also tilted. They looked like they were defeated, full of details.

Dian Wei rode his horse next to Zhang Yan and was wearing damaged armor.

The two looked up at Wancheng, and saw that the city gate had been closed, and the soldiers on the city were surging, and the solemn and murderous aura filled the sky.

This is normal. Their army came over brightly, and the other party could not have known it.

"General Dian." Zhang Yan whispered to Dian Wei. Dian Wei nodded to him. Zhang Yan rode out and came to the city gate and shouted: "Brothers in the city, don't shoot arrows. I am Zhang Yan, the general of Yuan Gong. Dong Zhuo, led 5,000 troops to attack Luyang. I was defeated and the city had been broken. I came here in a hurry, so please accept it."

In front of the city gate tower, there were a large number of people standing. One of them was Chang Liu, the chief of Yuan Shu, and the others were several generals guarding Wancheng.

"Although I can't see clearly, it seems that it's Zhang Yan." Everyone was Yuan Shu's general. A general heard Zhang Yan's voice and couldn't help but look up and said to Liu Chang.

This means naturally to accept it.

But Liu Chang shook his head, pinched his beard and looked at it, and said, "The situation is unclear now. It needs to be treated with caution."

After thinking for a while, President Liu took a step forward and asked loudly: "It turns out to be General Zhang, can you tell where the lord is now?"

"I don't know. Under the night and in chaos. I don't know where my lord went, but since my lord didn't come to Wancheng, I probably went north to Taigu Pass."

Zhang Yan also responded appropriately and shouted loudly.

"But Changshi Liu? Please open the door and let me wait in. We fought all night and fled here again. We were so hungry."

Zhang Yan then said loudly again.

"Sir, please open the door quickly. They are all their brothers. Although they were defeated, they were defeated by force. They need to be treated well." A general said.

"Yes. Lord Changshi. The spy came to report that there was no large group of people nearby. There were only one thousand remaining soldiers. Even if there were anything, there were ten thousand elite soldiers in the city, and these thousand remaining soldiers could not make any waves."

Another general nodded and said.

"No." Liu Chang shook his head and said. "I don't know anything about military affairs, but I have some doubts about Zhang Yan. I was ordered to guard the city. Since I doubted it, I shouldn't have opened the city gate."

The generals couldn't help but look at each other, and they couldn't help but underestimate the Lord Chief. He was too brave. It was Zhang Yan himself, and there were another thousand remaining soldiers. What were he afraid of?

Seeing the contempt of the generals, Liu Chang shook his head and explained: "You see, these are a thousand remaining soldiers. What if they are a thousand Liangzhou soldiers? There are ten thousand new soldiers in our city. How can several generals be confident to lead the new soldiers to fight with one thousand Liangzhou soldiers?"

When the generals heard this, they were all shocked. If they were really a thousand Liangzhou soldiers, they might not be their opponents.

"Changshi Liu is really a mature country." The generals were amazed, and one of the generals bowed and bowed.

"What a mature country, I'm just timid." Liu Chang laughed at himself, and then said, "But it's not good if you blame a good person by mistake."

Speaking of this, Liu Chang shouted again: "Listen to General Zhang, I am ordered to guard the city, so it is not easy to let you in. But I will not starve the soldiers. Since I ordered people to use hanging baskets, make wine, meat, rice and grain, and tent tools to go down. Please ask the general to set up camp outside the city and build a pot and cook rice."

The generals couldn't help but nodded again. It was a great way. This would not only allow Zhang Yan to settle down the defeated soldiers, but also prevent accidents, and the best of both worlds.

However, this made it difficult for Zhang Yan and Dian Wei to enter the city. They were not really asking for rice, grain and tents.

Zhang Yan thought for a moment, then pretended to be furious and said, "Do you doubt me???? You must know that soldiers can be killed or humiliated. I, Zhang Yan, acted openly and never did anything like chickens and dogs. Since you doubt me, I would simply go back to Luyang and defect to Zhang Liao."

After saying that, Zhang Yan returned, but deliberately slowed down a little, giving the people in the city a time to buffer.

Zhang Yan's move made the civil and military officials in the city feel nervous. General Chen was very anxious and said to Liu Chang: "Sir, what should I do?"

"Yes. Zhang Yan is brave and good at fighting, and has this thousand men under his command. If he surrenders to Zhang Liao, wouldn't it make Zhang Liao look like a tiger?"

The other generals also said.

But Liu Chang was indeed a smart man. He pinched his soft beard, pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this is a way to provoke him."

"If Zhang Yan defected to Zhang Liao, it would indeed increase Zhang Liao's troops. But we only lost a thousand people. Now Luyang has been captured. If Yuan Gong goes to Taigu Pass, he will inevitably lead Sun Jian and Cao Cao to return to Wancheng. We will defend Wancheng, which is a way out. If Wancheng is lost, the army ahead will inevitably collapse. These two harms are the least, and we can only regret General Zhang Yan."

The other generals didn't think much about it. After hearing what Liu Chang said, they suddenly felt reasonable. Although they sighed, they could only watch Zhang Yan "left out with anger".

Of course, Zhang Yan did not leave with anger, but he had no choice. He slowly came to the formation and said to Dian Wei: "General, the Liu Chang on the city is not soft and hard, what should we do now?"

Dian Wei thought for a while and said to Zhang Yan: "Then just say it."

"Uh!!!" Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, then understood. He immediately led fifty people to the city and kept a little distance.

"This is?!!!!" Liu Chang and others on the city sighed continuously. After seeing this scene, their hearts were shocked.

Zhang Yan, who was under the city, shouted shamelessly: "Listen to the people in the city. That's right. I just wanted to open the city gate. I might as well tell you. The person who led the troops to attack Luyang was General Cavalry and Duke Zhang of Han Shouhou. One behind me was General Cavalry Sima and Dian Sima Dian. The troops behind me were elite Liangzhou. Luyang had been defeated by Duke Zhang, and Yuan Shu had been beheaded. Surrender quickly, so you can be safe without worries, otherwise, after the city is broken, you will kill you all."

After a word was spoken, the city could no longer remain silent. For a moment, it was a mess and noisy.

“What should I do???”

"Is it really Zhang Xiu?"

"Where is the lord? Did the lord really die in Luyang?"

At this moment, Dian Wei walked out of the formation, drew out a pair of crescent halberds, and shouted at the top of the city: "General Zhang is right, I am Dian Wei. The army is full of elite soldiers in Liangzhou."

As he said that, Dian Wei asked several Liangzhou people to come forward and yelled in a Liangzhou accent.

The city was even more messy.

Unfortunately, in order to appease Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu did not cut off Yuan Shu's head, otherwise it would be much shocked.

"It's really Dian Wei, it's really from Liangzhou. What should we do?"

"Changshi Liu, you are very smart, you have an idea."

The generals were completely panicked and at a loss. After talking about it, they had no idea, so they all looked at Liu Chang, hoping that he would be the leader.

Liu Chang was also panicked. If Yuan Shu was really dead??????? Then wouldn’t the big thing be over? But he was extraordinary and quickly calmed down. He sighed: "Everyone. If what Zhang Yan said was true, then we cannot give up the city to him. The lord treats us well. We must defend the city and wait for the return of the two generals, Sun Jian and Cao Cao, to avenge the lord."

"If what Zhang Yan said was false, we must defend the city."
