Zhang Wei led his elite lineage toward the east gate of Nanzheng County. Although he met acquaintances along the way, Zhang Wei remained calm and collected, saying that he was on Zhang Lu's order to defend the east gate.
Zhang Wei was Zhang Lu's younger brother. He had a high status and status. No one dared to question him. He led the remaining 1,000 people to the east gate smoothly.
Zhang Wei had previously commanded six thousand elite troops from his direct lineage, all of which were under his command. This time when Cao Cao came to attack, most of them were transferred to the tower to participate in the defense and obey Zhao Yun's command.
The remaining one thousand people were left behind only after Zhang Wei argued hard.
Zhang Wei arrived outside the east gate, still saying that he came under Zhang Lu's order, and successfully took over the city gate. When the time came, Zhang Wei ordered the east gate to be opened. Dian Wei, Zhang Fei and others who had been approaching outside the city took
The army encountered no resistance and easily entered the east gate.
After the two sides met, Dian Wei roared loudly: "Hurry up, let's kill Zhao Yun and bring justice to the law."
As the vanguard, Dian Wei rushed to the front.
Zhang Fei, Xu Huang, Li Dian and others also followed and headed towards the top of the city where Zhao Yun was.
When Dian Wei, Zhang Fei, Xu Huang and others were attacking, the news that Zhang Wei betrayed and the east gate was captured and fell soon reached Zhao Yun's ears.
Zhao Yun's expression suddenly became solemn. In recent days, he relied on his soldiers to work hard and blocked Cao Cao's army from attacking. Moreover, news has come that Lu Xuan broke through Yangping Pass, and victory is in sight.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Zhang Wei surrendered to Cao Cao, opened the city gate and introduced Cao Cao's army.
Zhao Yun looked at Fazheng and asked: "Sir, the current situation is very bad, what should we do?"
Zhang Lu cursed Zhang Wei as a bastard in his heart and wanted to kill Zhang Wei. However, what happened had already happened. He looked helpless and looked at Fa Zheng and said: "Mr. Fa, Zhang Wei's betrayal this time is due to my lax command. It's all mine."
wrong."
Fa Zheng also felt angry in his heart.
But Fazheng is more aware that what is needed now is calmness and more importantly, unity of people.
Anger doesn't help.
It can only do bad things.
Fazheng said calmly: "I understand Master's position. Zhang Wei's betrayal was his own choice and has nothing to do with you. There is no need to blame yourself."
Zhang Lu apologized and said, "It's a great situation, but Zhang Wei's behavior went bad, and it's all because I didn't take him seriously."
Fazheng shook his head and said nothing more.
He looked at Zhao Yun and said quickly: "General Zhao, Nanzheng has been defeated. Cao Cao's army has entered the city and Nanzheng cannot hold it anymore. We have been fighting until now, and there are not many soldiers and horses to resist."
"I suggest that you immediately evacuate and break out of the encirclement and head towards Yangping Pass."
"The king once said that if people lose their land, both people and land will survive. Although Nanzheng has been lost, as long as we are still there, everything will still be there."
"Time is running out, we must break out immediately."
Fa Zheng thought quickly and continued: General Zhao, Master Shijun, let's break out from the city gate. While breaking out, we will notify the people participating in the battle so that the people can seize the time to escape to avoid being massacred by Cao's army. Moreover, it is said that King Wu is about to arrive.
News from Nanzheng."
Zhao Yun and Zhang Lu got the arrangement and quickly informed them, and the order was quickly passed down.
Zhao Yun took Zhang Lu and Fazheng down from the city tower, got on his horse, ordered the city gate to be opened, and rushed out with his men.
Zhao Yun rushed to the front with a silver gentian spear, and asked people to raise a big flag in order to gather strength and lead everyone to evacuate. He knew that the pressure was great, but Cao's army outside the city had been fighting for such a long time.
Time is not the most elite army.
Zhao Yun charged into battle outside the city and did not encounter much resistance.
"Rush, rush out with me."
Zhao Yun led his people to break through the encirclement continuously.
Gradually, we moved away from the city gate of Nanzheng and headed west towards Yangping Pass.
Cao Cao frowned slightly when he saw Zhao Yun's flag leaving on the hill in the distance. There was a look of joy on his face, because the victory of Nanzheng meant that he had mastered the policy of Nanzheng.
Cao Cao was unwilling to let Zhao Yun escape. He looked around and said loudly: "Who is willing to kill Zhao Yun?"
"King Qin, I am willing to go."
Cai Yang stood up directly.
He is tall, has sharp eyes, and looks like he thinks very highly of himself.
Under Cao Cao's command, Cai Yang was a capable general with a large sword in his hand, which was quite powerful. Cai Yang's armor was stained with blood. He had gone to attack Nanzheng several times, but he was too tired and did not join the battle today. He stayed behind.
Cao Cao is resting beside him.
Cao Cao looked approvingly and nodded: "Cai Yang, I am waiting for your good news. I have captured Zhao Yun and Fazheng, and I will be richly rewarded."
"The general will obey your orders!"
Cai Yang's eyes were wild and his expression was even more confident. He rode a horse and sprinted towards Zhao Yun, who was breaking out of the encirclement.
Because Zhao Yun had raised the banner, Cai Yang did not need to hesitate at all. He galloped forward and quickly caught up with Zhao Yun. When he saw Zhao Yun rushing in the front, a cold light flashed across his eyes and he said loudly: "Zhao Yun, Cai Yang
The sun comes."
He kicked the horse's belly, shook the horse's reins, and sped up, already holding the long knife in his hand.
It was too late, but soon, the two sides met head-on.
Zhao Yun saw Cai Yang being slashed with his sword, shook his horse's reins, and accelerated a short distance away. Zhao Yun's war horse was the divine horse that Lu Xuan rewarded him with after he killed Su Puyan, the Shanyu of Wuhuan.
Incomparable.
The divine horse suddenly burst out with power, causing Zhao Yun to rush forward and miss Cai Yang's sword with a single stoop.
The gentian bright silver spear thrust out from bottom to top, and a bit of cold light appeared in the air.
Phew!
The tip of the spear pierced Cai Yang's chest.
"Unknown people, no need to mention names."
Zhao Yun's eyes were cold, and he drew out a cloud of blood with his spear. He continued to charge forward without looking at Cai Yang.
Cai Yang's rough face showed an expression of disbelief. He lowered his head and looked at the bleeding wound, and then watched Zhao Yun continue to sprint. His vision went dark and he fell off the horse.
"General Cai was killed."
The soldiers shouted loudly.
The news then reached Cao Cao's ears. Cao Cao was a little surprised, but he didn't panic at all. He said in a deep voice: "This Zhao Yun is so arrogant that he actually killed my general Cai Yang."
"However, Zhao Yun has lost Nanzheng County. Now he is a bereaved dog and must be destroyed. Now that Cai Yang has been killed, who dares to stop and kill Zhao Yun on my behalf and capture Fazheng and Zhang Lu?"
Cao Cao had expectations in his eyes.
Zhao Yun, Fazheng and Zhang Lu are all Lu Xuan's people, and he must capture them. When Lu Xuan comes, he will take these people out and see what Lu Xuan, a perverted boy, can say.
"King Qin, I am willing to go."
Another burly and strong tiger general stood up.
This man's name was Kong Xiu, and he was a capable general under Cao Cao. He was quite heroic and had an unruly appearance. Although Cai Yang was killed, Kong Xiu was still very confident.
