Facing Duan Xuan's question, Han Sui couldn't help but hesitate and ponder. Of course he knew that Lu Bu's army was probably no match for the Xiliang army, and Dong Zhuo had already invaded Guanzhong in the east. Even if Lu Bu had a draw with Chen Cheng, then
It is also very likely that the entire army will be annihilated.
But he has been jealous of Chen Cheng and Yan Zhong for a long time. If Chen Cheng can win now, Duan Jiu may surrender without a fight.
Seeing Han Sui's hesitation, Duan Yan suppressed the anxiety in his heart, leaned forward and asked, "What is Mr. Han's problem?"
Han Sui smiled and said: "Now it's two tigers fighting each other. Liangzhou Mu and General Zhengxi each have strong troops, and they are equally matched. The Xiliang army is certainly brave and good at fighting, so isn't Lu Bu's army with many soldiers and horses? General Duan
If the general falls to Liangzhou, then Chen Shijun will win. If the general falls to Lu Bu, then Lu Bu will win."
Duan Xuan was stunned. This answer was different from what he thought. Although there were many soldiers and horses in Fufeng County, they were sandwiched between the Xiliang Army and Lu Bu Army. They wanted to have both sides, but neither side was a good opponent.
, completely ignored Duan Yan’s outsider and neutral approach.
He thought for a while and then asked: "Mr. Han, do you think I should turn to Chen Shijun or General Lu?"
If he could, he really didn't want to fall to either side. Now that he has just mastered the power of Fufeng, and has just tasted the benefits of the local bully, how can he willingly succumb to others again? It's a pity that reality does not give him a choice.
right.
Han Sui spread his hands and said: "Of course the general must make up his own mind on what to do, so why should you ask me, an outsider?"
Duan Xuan sat back in disappointment and sighed: "Why does General Han need to see the outside world? We are all from Liangzhou, and now we are sitting in a secret room. Is the general still afraid of being overheard?"
Han Sui shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid."
When Duan Xuan looked over, he smiled bitterly and said: "When it comes to leading troops to fight, I am not as good as Chen Shijun. When it comes to far-reaching wisdom, I am not as good as Yan Bodao, so what else can I say?"
Duan Xuan was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "If General Zuo was still here, how could he be in such a difficult situation?"
After Han Sui rode away from Chencang, Duan Yan soon received the news that half of the surrounding camps had been lost, and that the Xiliang army had arrived at the city. He led his soldiers up to the tower, looked outside, and couldn't help but be horrified.
He changed his color and blurted out: "When did the Xiliang army become so strong and powerful?"
Seeing the armored enemy soldiers under the city, the expressions on the left and right changed greatly. Although the Xiliang thieves in the past were brave, their weapons and armor were always poor, so the Guanzhong army could still fight back and forth with the opponent. Now the enemy has changed.
We have become stronger, but our side has not only failed to make progress, but has regressed a lot. How can we fight this battle?
Duan Yan looked to the side and saw that the faces of the soldiers on the left and right were pale, and he had the intention to surrender. But he still had the reinforced Chencang Jian City and an army of 40 to 50 million in his hands, so even if he surrendered
, then you have to get a good condition.
For such a big gift to be given to Chen Cheng, it wouldn't be too much to change it to a county prefect, right?
Duan Xuan immediately sent an envoy to the camp of the Xiliang Army under a white flag. Chen Cheng just met Han Sui in the camp and learned about the words of Lu Bu he brought. Duan Xuan's envoy over there followed.
Already arrived.
Han Sui said: "Since General Duan's envoy has arrived, I will leave first."
Chen Cheng waved his hand and said: "General Han is not an outsider. Let's meet Duan Xuan's envoy here to see what he wants to do."
He said to the guard beside him: "Call the former generals, General Zuo, and generals such as brigadier general and above. Well, call Ma Chao and Pang De too."
The place where the Xiliang army went to camp this time was different from last time. It was only a little more than three miles away from the city wall of Chencang. What was going on here could be clearly seen on the city wall. This kind of obvious provocative behavior, Duan Yan
He actually endured it. He couldn't bear it anymore. After seeing that most of the Xiliang troops were wearing iron armor, Duan Yan gave up the idea of leaving the city for a counterattack, even though he didn't think so in the first place.
After a while, former general Zhao Yun, left general Yang Qiu, Wuwei prefect Cheng Yi, Anding prefect Ma Teng, as well as Zhang Heng, Cheng Yin, Ma Wan, Liang Xing, Li Kan, Hou Xuan, Li Xiangru and others, as well as Ma Chao and
Pang De has arrived.
The big tent was originally quite spacious, but after so many people came in, it no longer seemed spacious. Ten generals wearing helmets and armor were arranged on the left and right. All of these people in the big tent had killed countless people.
The fierce generals are holding their breath and concentrating now, not daring to do any frivolous behavior.
Liu Qian, who was standing next to Chen Cheng, saw the many powerful generals in Liangzhou, all of whom were afraid of showing off their arrogance. She couldn't help but tilted her head and looked at Chen Cheng. She only felt that the domineering power on her master at this time was as if it were real.
Generally, it fills every space in the big tent.
After Ma Chao and Pang De came in, they sat at the bottom. Although they were heroes with superb martial arts skills, everyone in the tent had a higher military rank than them, so they could only sit closest to the outside.
s position.
When Chen Cheng saw the two people coming in, he showed a happy expression. He first poured two glasses of wine on the table in front of him, then stood up, walked up to the two of them with the wine glasses in his hands, and said with a pleasant face: "We had a battle the day before yesterday, and the two of them had a good time."
I have seen the heroic demeanor of both of you. I thought that General Zhang Heng was already brave enough, but the bravery of the two of them is not inferior to that of Grand Administrator Zhang!"
He handed the wine glass over and said with a smile: "Here, let me toast you two."
Pang De's heart was filled with heat, and without saying a word, he took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, and then said loudly: "Thank you, Ambassador Chen, for the wine!"
Ma Chao was already convinced of Chen Cheng, but he was still a little unconvinced. At this time, he saw everyone in the tent looking at him with admiration and jealousy, and he already felt a little smoky even before he drank. He felt the same way.
After finishing the drink, he said loudly: "Thank you, Ambassador Chen!"
Chen Cheng laughed loudly, with a loud voice that made the top of the tent shake. He returned to his seat and sat down, and then said: "The envoy of Duan Xuan is coming in!"
The envoy was none other than Zhang Jie, the general under Duan Su. Zhang Jie led his troops to attack the Xiliang army camp at night during the last battle of Chencang. After being defeated and captured, Chen Cheng did not kill him, but instead captured him.
He was put back. Later, Duan Xuan made himself the governor of Fufeng. Zhang Jie, as a brave general under Duan Xuan, also rose with the tide, and now he has reached the position of captain of the infantry.
Zhang Jie came under the order, anticipating what kind of situation he would encounter, and was already mentally prepared. Even so, when he entered the big tent, he was still shocked by the chilling atmosphere in the tent. These people in the big tent
, all of them are burly and murderous, and you can tell at a glance that they are fierce generals who kill people like crazy.
He himself is also famous for his bravery in the army, and only an expert will know what an expert is like. When he saw that many people behaved in the big tent, Zhang Jie's evaluation of the Xiliang army became even more intense.
A few points higher.
"General Duan Xuan's infantry captain Zhang Jie pays homage to Liangzhou Mu, General Hussar, and Marquis Julu!"
Zhang Jie prostrated himself on the ground and said respectfully: "My lord has a letter here. I would like to ask Mr. Chen to read it."
Chen Cheng waved his hand, and the bodyguards and soldiers beside him handed over the letter. The bodyguards and soldiers following him wore heavy armor all year round, but they never ran out of energy, so the armor on their bodies was heavier than that of ordinary soldiers.
The armor is thicker, has stronger defense, and is heavier.
The steel armor on Ma Chao's body only weighs thirty kilograms, while the armor on his bodyguards weighs fifty kilograms. Not to mention swords, even spears may not be able to penetrate. However, there are still very few such people.
After three or four years of accumulation, it only amounts to more than 20 people.
"Pander's Prophecy" has the setting of the Knights. When the cavalry of a force reaches the top level, they can change their profession through the Knights Hall to become knights with different characteristics. Although each has its own characteristics, there is also one
The common characteristic is that they are strong, powerful in all aspects.
Whether fighting on foot or on horseback, knights are unparalleledly powerful. Because they often wrap their bodies in steel, these bodyguards who are titled "knights" are also called "Xiliang Dragon Riders". On the plains
When fighting, they would ride tall horses covered with horse armor, use heavy lances more than three meters long, and lead their bodyguards to follow behind Chen Cheng, tearing apart all enemies.
Even in infantry combat, these "Xiliang Dragon Riders" wearing more than fifty kilograms of steel armor are still terrifying war machines. They are tireless, powerful, and skilled in combat. They cannot compare to Zhao Yun in single combat.
But as long as there are more than three, even Zhao Zilong has to weigh it.
If the number of people was not too small and expansion was not too difficult, these knights alone could deal with a large army. Although they had few soldiers and horses, everyone enjoyed colonel-level treatment. Whether it was food, clothing, or
The accommodation conditions are the same as Chen Cheng's. His family has a thousand acres of "Yongye Field" tax-free, and he also has a salary comparable to that of a minister.
It's very powerful, but it's also true that it's expensive. If it weren't for the money dug out of the mountains, or if it wasn't for opening so many factories and making a lot of money, Chen Cheng really wouldn't be able to support them.
Originally, there was a more powerful self-built knight order in "Pander's Prophecy", but if you want to get such troops, you not only need a city as a base, but also a powerful weapon called "Dragon Tear Gem".
Chen Cheng had been researching the magic treasure for a long time but still didn't know where to get the Dragon Tears Gem, so he could only accept a special knight group like the "Xiliang Dragon Riders".
When the "Xiliang Dragon Rider" just came to take away the letter, Zhang Jie even felt the ground shaking slightly. There was probably no way to break through such thick steel armor other than hitting it with a blunt object.
.The people of Xiliang have become stronger than they were two years ago!
Thinking of this, Zhang Jie felt a little helpless and a little lucky. Now that his lord has shown his intention to surrender, they don't have to face the Xiliang army, which is already more powerful than the imperial army.
