Li Jie was wearing heavy iron armor and stood up with the girl's wall. He heard the sound of the city and his face suddenly changed, first red and then ashen.

"Huhuhuhuhu." Li Jue pinched the female wall with his right hand and tried his best to make his fingers clear, which showed his bones.

It's such a great shame, a great shame.

Seeing this, Li Or felt something was wrong and stepped forward and advised: "Brother. Zhang Xiu has the courage of Xiang Yu. This is his trick, so he should not fall into the trap."

Li Jue breathed out after hearing this, and his breath gradually calmed down. However, he still flew up his right foot, kicked the female wall, looked around fiercely, and said, "If anyone dares to fight, kill me!"

After giving the order, Li Jue pushed open the gate of the city gate tower in depressedly and went in to drink. The soldiers on the city were all speechless.

Although they knew that Zhang Xiu was the "Shenwei General" and had the courage of Xiang Yu, their chief general did not dare to even fight against 10,000 yuan.

It's a bit shameful and...disgusting.

Outside the south city gate, Zhang Xiu saw seven or eight loud soldiers shouting at the city for a long time, with a dry mouth. There was no movement in the city, so he knew that Li Jue had made a turtle with his head shrunk. He asked the soldiers to come back and asked someone to get water for them to drink.

Zhang Xiu turned around and said to Jia Xu, "This city is hard to break. Let's guard the camp."

"No." Jia Xu replied, and the group was about to go back. But when he saw a fast horse galloping from behind, the knight on the horse came to Zhang Xiu, he turned over and dismounted and reported: "Report to General Ma Teng. He raised 50,000 troops and headed south to Lueyang."

Zhang Xiu showed surprise and frowned and said, "Ma Teng took advantage of my troops to attack me. I thought he would lead troops to rescue Ji."

"General, don't worry. Since Ma Teng doesn't save Shangqi, Shangqi will definitely be owned by the general." Jia Xu smiled and bowed to Zhang Xiu.

"What's Wenhe's trick?" Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up and he said with great enthusiasm. The goal of sending troops this time was to kill Chengyi. If Li Jue could be killed, it would be a surprise.

"Ma Teng set out his troops to attack Lueyang. I expected that he would send someone to inform Li Jue first, saying that reinforcements would arrive soon and let him defend."

"The general can divide his troops into four units and surround Shangji City, so as not to allow a fly to fly into the city. Five days later, the general burns the Xiying camp and shouts to kill. Li Jue must have thought that the rescuers have arrived, so he can't help but attack from the city, hoping to attack on both sides. At that time, Li Jue can kill in one battle, and Shangji can get it."

"As for Lueyang, the city has sufficient food and fodder, and the elite troops are strong. Pang De is a ten thousand enemy, and his will tolerate the people. He is united and will not be a problem. In addition, after General Zhao kills Chengyi, he will return to the army to rescue. The news will also cause a commotion when he reaches Ma Teng's army. Lueyang is strong, so the general should not think about Lueyang." Jia Xu said with a smile.

Before Zhang Xiu could express his opinion, Fa Zheng beside him had already nodded repeatedly, as if he was agreeing with Jia Xu's words. Zhang Xiu glanced at the boy and then pondered for a moment.

But he also believed in Pang De and Xi Zhicai's ability, and believed that he had been in charge of Lueyang for nearly a year. He finally nodded and said, "Okay, act according to the plan."

"No." Jia Xu replied. Then Zhang Xiu galloped back into the formation with everyone. He changed his plan and divided four troops to camp in the east, north, south, and west of the city.

Zhang Xiu and the five thousand infantry were placed in the west of the city and planned to act according to the plan.

When Zhang Xiu acted like this, the soldiers of Li Jue on the city could see clearly. They entered the city gate tower and reported to Li Jue. After hearing this, Li Jue did not bother to drink and came out to check it out in person, with an restless look on his face.

Anyone who besieged a city must have three or one missing, and an ambush is set up on the road of life. Now that Zhang Xiu has surrounded four city gates, is he going to waste him to death?

It is not impossible. The city is short of food and fodder, and if the rescuers are blocked, he may really be trapped and killed in the city.

Li Jie's face shook and showed an impatient look. But he had no choice but to do anything. Zhang Xiu threatened that the cavalry would retreat ten miles and fight against his 10,000 elite soldiers with 5,000 infantry troops, but he did not dare to fight.

Now that the troops are divided into four sects, he certainly doesn't dare to fight.

I can only wait, I can only wait.

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

On the road leading directly to the West, Zhao Yunzheng led his troops to three thousand elite troops. The army did not bring any siege equipment, but only brought a small amount of tents and food.

Not to mention weapons, but arrows are just ten arrows per archer. The real one is the light army moving forward. If they cannot win, they will probably suffer.

Liangzhou is vast and sparsely populated. Although this road is also wide, it is actually an unpopular road and few people usually take it.

Zhao Yun also sent all his light cavalry as whistle cavalry, horse exploration, and Cheng Yi's movements.

If Cheng Yi immediately sent troops north to Jicheng after receiving the news from Ma Teng, then he should have walked nearby.

It was noon.

The horses and whistle cavalry came to report that Cheng Yi's army was not found nearby. Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan were both a little anxious.

Although the weather has turned colder now, their march is very fast and the soldiers are a little annoyed. Seeing this, Zhao Yun ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot and make rice.

Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan each sat on a Hu stool and talked to each other.

"Brother, according to the truth, Cheng Yi should have already walked nearby. But we didn't meet him. He either walked faster or slower. It is necessary for us to send a horse to explore the situation even further." Xiahou Lan said while drinking the water in her sheepskin pocket.

"Yes." Zhao Yun nodded, tearing a piece of hard jerky lamb, put it in his mouth and melted it with saliva, and then chewed it.

Anyway, as long as Cheng Yi sends troops, he is nearby and there is no need to worry. Zhao Yun immediately ordered the horse to gallop further and find Cheng Yi's traces.

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

Yucheng.

This city is located close to the Qinling Mountains and has a very remote geographical location. Because of this, Cheng Yi gathered thousands of families and dominated the city.

Just like Song Jian of Shihan, he was even more peaceful. However, Cheng Yi's power was not as good as Song Jian, and he had only 5,000 elite soldiers, including 1,000 cavalry.

There are many rebel leaders like Cheng Yi in Liangzhou. It is like a waste of money. If Ma Teng sends troops to attack Cheng Yi, Cheng Yi may flee into the Qinling Mountains and wait until the horse is vacant before returning.

It’s tasteless to eat, but it’s a pity to throw it away.

Therefore, Ma Teng and Han joined forces with these rebel leaders to increase their military strength.

If Chengyi was defeated, the troops of the Liangzhou rebels such as Ma Teng and Han Sui would be reduced by more than 5,000 people and the population would be reduced by thousands.

Of course, Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Cheng Yi did not expect that Zhang Xiu was building a plank road openly and secretly traveling to Chen Cang. He seemed to be trying to break through Shangji and kill Li Jue to avenge Zhang Ji. In fact, he ordered the general Zhao Yun to come with a light army and attack Cheng Yi.

On this day, Cheng Yi received news that Ma Teng invited him to send troops together. He didn't think much about it. He gathered all the elite troops of 4,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry, and went northwest in real terms, intending to meet with Ma Teng in the middle of the journey and attack Lueyang.

Originally, Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu were supposed to be Cheng Ma Teng who would rescue Li Jue from Gui, but he didn't expect that Ma Teng would attack Lueyang. Therefore, there was a little deviation from Cheng Yi's advance route.

Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan did not find Cheng Yi for a while.

Before leaving, Cheng Yi was at the gate of the north city and said goodbye to his civil servant Changxiu.

"Mr. Chang, Yu Cheng asked." Bai Fang Cheng Yi bowed to Chang Xiu.

"General, don't worry, I will guard the city well, and I wish the general a triumphant return." The scholar dressed in Chang Xiu, who was in his thirties, smiled and clasped his fists.

This scene has been experienced many times. Cheng Yi has connected with Ma Teng and Han Sui and attacked Sanfu, and countless others have been attacked.

Regardless of success or failure, Chengyi will come back. Of course, this time it is the same.

"Let's go." After Cheng Yi said goodbye to Chang Xiu, he glanced at Yu Cheng, then turned over to the horse, took out a big gun, and led the horse and infantry to the northeast.

Calculate the time and they will meet with Ma Teng's army three or four days later.

However, after walking for a day and a half, Cheng Yi encountered trouble. The weather was still very hot that morning. Cheng Yi had just ordered the camp to be terminated, and after walking about two miles, he was reported by the horse.

"Report to the general. We met a group of horses and returned after a fight." A Cheng Yijun's horse was covered in blood and knelt in front of Cheng Yi's horse on one knee.

Five thousand elite soldiers also stopped.

"Spying the horse? Whose horse will appear here??? Isn't Zhang Xiu attacking the marsh? He has no strength to appear here." Cheng Yi showed a white face and looked thoughtful. Could it be that Zhang Xiu's feint attacking the marsh is actually here to take his life?

Thinking of this, Cheng Yi was heartbroken. This was not good. Zhang Xiu was brave and good at fighting. Even if he led 2,000 troops here to fight, he was no match.

"But can you find out who the other party is?" However, Cheng Yi was also an elderly thief. He quickly calmed down and asked.

"I heard that spy reported to his home. It seemed that he was Sima of another department, Zhao Yun of Changshan." The spy hesitated for a moment before reporting.

Sure enough, Cheng Yi laughed furiously and said, "I have heard the news by telling her own house? What if Zhang Xiu reported her own house and said it was Zhao Yun in Changshan? I will explore again."

"No." The stud trembled, and quickly responded to the promise, and turned over the horse to inquire again.

However, although Cheng Yi was furious, he guessed that this team might be from Zhao Yun, Changshan.

The news about Ma Teng is very clear. Zhang Xiu's 20,000 horse and infantry are all in Shanggui. Except for Zhang Xiu, who can command 20,000 elite troops to fight? Aren't you afraid of the entire army being wiped out?

After thinking for a while, Cheng Yi guessed something. Then he sneered: "Maybe Zhang Xiu's original purpose was not Li Jue. It was me. He besieged Shang Ji with a large army and bluffed. He attracted me to send troops to join Ma Teng, and then sent this leader named Zhao Yun to kill me."

"But Zhao Yun? What a bullshit nameless person? If Zhang Xiu comes, I will immediately turn against him and quickly retreat. If Zhao Yun comes, such an unknown person like Ruo. One thousand come, one thousand dies."

Cheng Yi was a little angry and shook his right hand and made a spear.

Soon after, the Investigator received the news and returned the news.

"It is indeed the name Zhao Jingqi, with about 3,000 people. From the accent, it seems that they are from Hebei."

Cheng Yi suddenly turned angry and laughed, "Okay. Zhang Xiu, really sent an unknown person to come. See if I killed Zhao Yun, defeated these three thousand soldiers and horses, took the horses and baggage, and then went to Ma Teng to seek credit."

"Come. The whole army goes east to intercept Zhao Yun."
