Luyang City.

Although as the situation changed, Zhang Xiu led 80,000 horse and infantry troops to the south and Luyang City was already considered the rear. However, Zhang Liao and Chen Gong dared not neglect the food in Luyang.

The four gates of the city are closed. All people, scholars, and officials cannot enter and exit the city without the orders of Chen Gong.

Zhang Liao was in the city, with Huang Zhong, Ji Ling, Zhang Hui and Deng Zhi each occupying four city gates, southeast, west and northeast. Since the soldiers were arranged to set up defenses, they were also practicing their troops.

This general needs to appease his soldiers and strictly enforce military discipline in order to conquer cities and territory.

The master of this area needs to use people to prosper.

Yuan Shu is far inferior to Zhang Xiu's employment.

Zhang Xiu used Huang Zhong, Ji Ling, Zhang Hui, Deng Zhi, and the four generals, and then removed the old and weak, and selected young and strong, which earned 20,000 people. Now that he had been training for a few days, he was already quite impressed.

Huang Zhong was neatly dressed in the south of the city. He had just patrolled the city wall and went to the military camp under the city. He watched the deputy general train in the school grounds. He had a strong face and a fierce aura. He stood with his sword at this moment, with an unparalleled majestic look.

When the soldiers saw him, they did not dare to neglect them and practiced harder.

At this moment, an officer on the city went down to the barracks and reported: "Report to the general. Someone outside the city claimed to be your old friend and asked for a visit outside."

Huang Zhong frowned. He had many old friends, but the current situation was people from outside the city.

Huang Zhong had a clear idea and pressed his sword onto the city wall, looking down from a high place.

"It turns out to be the Chief Secretary Liu." Huang Zhong recognized Chang Liu and respected Chang Liu quite much, so he couldn't help but bow his hands and say goodbye.

"General Huang." Liu Chang, who was scattered in the city, bowed his hand. Then he saw that Huang Zhong did not say a word, and said loudly: "General Huang, can you please ask me to come in and talk?"

"Please don't blame me. I was ordered to guard the city gate. Without Mr. Chen's order, I dare not send the chief in private." Huang Zhong bowed his fists and said loudly.

Liu Chang felt nervous when he heard this. He had just tried. If Huang Zhong had some concern for the old master and had a rebellious intention, he would definitely invite him in.

He could use his three-inch tongue to make Huang Zhong rebel against Zhang Xiu.

But now when we arrived in Luyang, we couldn't get in. Huang Zhong's intentions were obvious.

Liu sighed long, then said sternly: "Hansheng. I will ask you, how should Mr. Yuan treat you?"

There are many soldiers on the city wall, with spears and swords.

The flag of the character "Huang" is hung on the city gate tower and flutters in the wind. Huang Zhong stood in front of the city gate and replied frankly: "Donald Yuan treats me kindly."

"Then why are you helping the thief???!!!!" Liu Chang rushed to Guan angrily and shouted again.

Huang Zhong remained calm and said, "In the Battle of Luyang, I shot and injured Zhang Liao in fierce battles, and then fought to the death and defended the city. After Duke Yuan died, I buried him. I, Huang Zhong, did not have any place to be sorry for Duke Yuan. As for General Cavalry, Duke Zhang of Han Shouhou, was a general of the court, who led the royal army south to retaliate against the thieves."

"Quoting." Liu Chang's anger filled his chest and shouted: "Dong Zhuo killed the emperor and Zhang Xiu was accomplice for the tiger. What is he meant to be a recruit to fight against the thief?"

"The leader of the alliance, Duke Yuan and other princes, who were ordered by the three dukes, and were the commanders of the emperor to attack Dong Zhuo, were the righteous army."

"I have already understood Liu Changshi's intentions. My heart is like a rock. It is useless to say more. Please come back." Huang Zhong was no longer willing to say to Liu Changduo, so he bowed and turned around and left.

"Huang Zhong, Han Sheng." Liu Chang couldn't help but shouted loudly, but he couldn't stop Huang Zhong, so he had to stop his horse and leave with hatred. However, Liu Chang did not leave, but turned to the east, north, and west of the city, and met Ji Ling, Zhang Hui, Deng Zhi and others, just like Huang Zhong, and the three of them did not let Liu Chang in, but did not make things difficult for Liu Chang.

They all followed Zhang Xiu with determination, how could they rebel against Zhang Xiu and help Sun Jian and Cao Cao?

Liu Chang came in pleasure, but returned in disappointment.

Sun Jian and Cao Cao's expectations failed.

Although Chang Liu wanted to avoid being captured by Zhang Xiu's horse probing and needed to detour, he came on a light cavalry and went like the wind. Compared to Zhang Xiu's army, he returned to Wancheng first to report the situation.

At noon that day, Sun Jian and Cao Cao were in the county magistrate's study room, looking at the map and discussing countermeasures. When they heard that Liu Chang was back, they were happy together, and then they left the study room to greet him, and they saw Liu Chang coming with a dusty face.

When Sun Jian and Cao Cao saw this, they felt a slump in their hearts and knew bad things.

However, Sun Jian did not blame Liu Chang. If Liu Chang had not guarded Wancheng, they would have no place to stay. Sun Jian respected Liu Chang very much and comforted him: "Shi Liu Changshi has worked hard all the way, so please go and rest."

Liu Chang wanted to report the result, but when he saw Sun Jian and Cao Cao's expression, he knew that they had guessed it. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Huang Zhong, Ji Ling, Zhang Hui, and Deng Zhi were all promoted by Yuan Gong. Why is it so loyal and righteous Zhang Xiu?"

After leaving this confusing statement, Liu Chang bowed to Cao Cao and Sun Jian, and slowly turned around and left weakly.

Sun Jian and Cao Cao looked at each other, bowed to Chang Liu, and then returned to the study together to sit down. Cao Cao sighed and said sincerely: "Zhang Xiu, it's really terrible."

Sun Jian nodded and sighed: "I think Dong Zhuo is a human being, a jackal, and he can only kill people and kill people randomly. He has no rules for his actions."

"Look at Zhang Xiu again. This man led the troops to fight, and was the first to be the leader. Only Lu Bu could compete with him. I heard that he was in the area of ​​Lueyang County and issued a [Recruitment Order] to settle officials and people, and was famous all over the world."

Speaking of this, Sun Jian became more and more moved and sighed: "Look at the generals he used, Huang Zhong, Ji Ling, Zhang Hui, Deng Zhi were all old generals of Duke Yuan, and he was good at leading troops. He always used it and ordered them to guard the land where Luyang was stationed in grain. None of the four betrayed them. It was really terrible."

"Oh." Cao Cao sighed again, and couldn't help but feel sad.

How could such a talent be obtained by Dong Zhuo? And he was devoted to it? It was simply ridiculous and ridiculous.

"Come here. Prepare wine and food." The more I thought about it, the more bored Sun Jian felt, and he shouted outside the door.

"promise."

The personal soldiers agreed and turned around.

"Meng De, have a drink with me." Sun Jian raised his head, smiled bitterly at Cao Cao and said.

"Oh." Cao Cao also sighed and bowed his hand to accompany him.

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

"Da da da da!!!"

On the vast land, an army of ten thousand people composed of cavalry scattered into a sea and headed south. The sound of horse hooves was like a war drum, and the dust rolled up the yellow wind.

Under the banner of the "Hua" character, Hua Xiong held a big knife and sat on a Xiliang horse, full of energy.

Not long after, the city of Wancheng was in sight. Hua Xiong ordered the soldiers to line up to wait for the central army as a precaution.

After about an hour, the central army also arrived at the city of Wancheng. Hua Xiong rode his horse to see Zhang Xiu, bowed and said, "Han Shouhou."

"Thank you for your hard work, and continue to be prepared for your own defense." Zhang Xiu gave Hua Xiong some pensions and ordered.

"promise."

Hua Xiong responded and turned around. Zhang Xiu turned his head and ordered Fan Chou, Hu Zhen and other generals to set up camp. As for Lu Bu, let him rest.

The central army tent was first set up, and Zhang Xiu and Li Ru entered the tent to discuss countermeasures.

Zhang Xiu came to the commander's throne and sat down. Li Ru sat on the side seat. The two bowed to each other. Then Zhang Xiu said, "I heard that Sun Jian ordered Zhu Zhi to go south to Xiangyang, mobilize money and grain in Jingzhou. He also recruited troops. I wanted Hua Xiong to lead the cavalry into Xinye and cut off their connection. What do you think?"

"What Han Shouhou said is appropriate." Li Ru did not think much and nodded immediately.

"Yes." Zhang Xiu nodded, planning to let Huaxiong go south tomorrow.

At this moment, Dian Wei walked in from outside and bowed to report: "General. Someone came to report to the camp gate, saying that it was Cao Cao's, and Sun Jian wanted to see the general."

"Huh?" Zhang Xiu and Li Ru both raised their eyebrows.

The two armies fought with each other, and their power was like water and fire. Are they cheating? Li Ru thought for a moment and bowed to Zhang Xiu and said, "Han Shouhou, be careful of cheating."

Zhang Xiu thought about it after hearing this, then pointed at Dian Wei, and said with a smile: "I am invincible with my eldest brother. What's the harm in going to see Sun Jian?"

As he said that, Zhang Xiu stood up and walked out, and said, "I fought with the Jiangdong tigers and I have never seen them before. This is also an opportunity."

When Li Ru thought about it, he felt relieved and let Zhang Xiu go and wandered around.

After Zhang Xiu and Dian Wei left the tent, they turned over the horse together. Dian Wei also brought a pair of crescent halberds. Zhang Xiu did not hold a gun, but only hung a sword.

The two led hundreds of light cavalry out of the camp that had not yet been established and headed south.

There were also hundreds of cavalry formations near the city gate ahead. After Zhang Xiu led Dian Wei and other light cavalry hundreds of people to the nearby area, he shouted: "I am Zhang Xiu."

Hundreds of cavalry on the other side were in a state of chaos, and the knights looked at Zhang Xiu with their heads raised. This is a strange person. General Cavalry opened his mansion, and Zhang Xiu, the Hou of Han, was invincible in the world.

After a while, three of the hundreds of cavalry emerged, namely Sun Jian, Cao Cao and Huang Gai.

Seeing that there was one more person on the other side, Zhang Xiu didn't care, so he just got closer to the other side with Dian Wei. Both sides stopped when they were twenty or thirty steps away from the other side.

Zhang Xiu looked up at the three people. Before this, although Zhang Xiu chased Cao Cao to Yanzhou, he never saw Cao Cao's face. Today, he recognized Cao Cao at first sight. He was indeed not good-looking.

Through the elimination method, Zhang Xiu immediately recognized the heroic Sun Jian. He smiled and said to Cao Cao, "You should be Cao Cao."

"You are the tiger in Jiangdong, Sun Jian, the Marquis of Wucheng."

"I wonder who this general is?" At the end of his speech, Zhang Xiu looked at Huang Gai.

"Huang Gai, a native of Lingling, has seen Duke Zhang of Han Shouhou." Huang Gai clasped his fists and bowed.

Although the two armies were fighting each other, they wanted to kill Zhang Xiu and swallow his flesh and blood. However, heroes like Zhang Xiu are famous all over the world, even Huang Gai was convinced.

"Okay, the true general of the bear and tiger." Zhang Xiu gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, and then asked, "How about the general come to me? I am willing to recommend it to the court and be appointed as General Fubo and grant him the title of Marquis of Lie."

Zhang Xiu's old habits were debating. When he saw a good civil servant and a good military general, he could no longer walk when he saw a good wine.
