On the way, a lieutenant suspected it, so he asked: "The city has been broken, and the recruitment has been exhausted, why don't the general capture it?"

Zhang Liaonai said: "Recruit the general of the state, Yuan Shang's arm, and he has the heart of a soldier." This time, I don't think it has any intention of surrendering. At the end of the road, he will die in life. Although our department is fine, it is not as good as recruiting the army. When two tigers fight, one will be injured. I was ordered to sneak in and take the city, but if there were many dead and wounded, but it was not good to look at it. It's better to go and go, and if we meet again on the battlefield in the future, my subordinates will be merciful. ”

Zhang Liao was right. Although the Qin and Han dynasties attached great importance to military merits, when they reached the position of Zhang Liao, they did not encourage officers of this level to behead them, but valued collective military merits. If Zhang Liao and Zhao fight hard, even if they win in the end, if the headquarters also loses a lot, I am afraid that they will be punished if they have no reward. Li Guang, a former Hanfei general, is a good example. No matter how fierce you are, no matter how many people you kill, but you can't beat your own parts, so I'm so embarrassed. You've got this pot on your back.

Fear of attracting dogs to jump over the wall in a hurry is one thing, but rushing to occupy the official offices, military camps, and government treasury is a more important factor. You can't enter the city early, but it just plays a role in restraining and pulling tricks, right? At that time, it is not himself who will break the city, and it will not be himself who occupies an important stronghold, so is Zhang Liao still embarrassed to fight?

Only when he ran away and successfully occupied all the important places in Mayi City, Zhang Liao was embarrassed to straighten his waist and speak loudly.

But he said that the armies outside the city. After Zhang Liao entered the city, he began to attack the city, and Zhang Liao beat drums in the city to gather troops and set fires everywhere. The soldiers above the watchtower outside the city soon discovered the straight wolf smoke in the city, so they hurriedly waved the order flag and signaled to the generals below. Tian Yu was overjoyed when he saw the banner, and hurriedly beat his horse to Zhao Yun, hugged his fists and said: "General, Wenyuan has launched in the city. ”

Zhao Yun and Lu Bu glanced at each other, and then said, "Order a general attack!"

At the sound of the order, the three armies suddenly beat like thunder, and the armies of all walks of life came in unison to attack the city of Mayi. The pressure on the enemy army above the city suddenly increased. The move was not there, and the enemy adjutant general was suddenly in a hurry, and he held on to the left and right for a while, but he saw more and more enemy ants attached to the city. The anxious lieutenant general slashed down a Qingzhou soldier with a knife, and then pulled the herald who followed him, and said fiercely: "The general went to the city, why hasn't he come back?"

The imminent departure only said that there were rebellious people in the city and set fire, and let the deputy general stay at the head of the city and come by himself. But he didn't dare to say that the enemy army had come in, for fear that he would collapse if he said that he was a lieutenant general who was under too much pressure and couldn't stand it.

The herald couldn't tell the herald of one, two, three, four, and the lieutenant pushed the herald away, and looked back at the city carefully, only to see fireworks rising and drums rising everywhere in the city. The adjutant general instantly understood that something big had happened in the city, and it was not the arson of the chaotic people as the general said, and the general would not be able to come back.

As soon as he thought of this, the breath that the lieutenant had been holding on to in his heart suddenly relaxed. His wrist was weak, and he felt that the knife in his hand weighed more than a thousand catties and could no longer lift it. He muttered: "It's still too bad, it's better to fall!"

In the midst of the thoughts, a personal soldier with a head and face covered with blood ran over and shouted urgently: "General, there are too many enemy troops, and the brothers can't stop them, how can we do it?"

The lieutenant came back to his senses and said, "How is it good?" If you can't stop it, surrender is!"

The pro-soldier snorted and didn't react for a while, he felt a little incredible, the robes and brothers fought to the death in front, but the general said surrender lightly?

Seeing that his soldiers were stunned, the adjutant general hurriedly glared at him, and scolded: "Why don't you go to the herald and be stunned?"

The soldiers suddenly felt that this battle was so boring, so many brothers died in vain, he turned around and left, shouting hoarsely: "The general has an order, ready to surrender!" In my heart, I miss the peaceful years when I was a child. He thought that after this battle, if he could get peace in the future, he would better go back to farming. The mother and the child are waiting at home. It's as easy as you imagined to make a contribution, and it's better to go home. There is land, there is family.

"The general has an order, ready to surrender!" The shouts spread all over the city, whether they believed it or not, the soldiers of the state who had already integrated the execution into their bones obeyed the order and put down their weapons at the first time. The Qingzhou soldiers were overjoyed and rushed up one after another to capture prisoners. Over there, the lieutenant general had just ordered the flag bearers to lower their flags and open the city gates, and he had adjusted his armor so that he could go to the city gates to meet the new master of Mayi City. A stray arrow from nowhere flew over, so good that he didn't die in the throat of the lieutenant general, the lieutenant general was in a relaxed mood when he was in a state of mind and fantasies, where could he have imagined that there would be such a thing happening, he was defenseless and couldn't dodge being pierced by the arrow through his throat, uh uh a few sounds, he fell on his back with infinite regret, and his body splashed countless floating dust with a bang. Vice General Ma Yi, who had just reached Liu Bei's thigh and didn't have time to hug him, died like this, and he didn't have time to leave a word.

Cao Xing climbed to the top of the city, walked to the deputy general, squatted down and watched for a long time, and sighed: "This is unlucky, dig a deep pit outside the city and bury it." After saying that, he shook his head and took over the city defense.

After the generals knew about this, they couldn't help but sigh.

The adjutant general died, except for a small number of diehards who braved death to break through the siege, the Qingzhou army took over the city, and the cheers were everywhere, but it also frightened away the confrontation between the city and Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao is right to let go of the move, otherwise the two armies will fight in the city, and there will be countless people in the city, and then the aftermath will be a headache for Zhao Lu and the others, where can they get the comfort they are now. Zhao Yun and Lu Bu led the generals into the city together, took over the books and books in the official office, and saw that the treasury was intact, and couldn't help laughing: "This battle is far from the first merit." ”

Lu Bu also nodded and said, "If there is no Wenyuan, how can the city be so intact." ”

Then he ordered to kill sheep and buy wine to reward the three armies. During the banquet, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu repeatedly raised their glasses to Patriarch Zhang to persuade him to drink, praising his help and saying that his merits had been recorded in the book, and when the state was pacified, he would definitely tell the general that there would be a reward at that time.

The elder of the Zhang clan smiled so much that the walnut pattern was stretched, the old man's life was not dull, he had ridden a fierce horse, killed robbers, don't look at his kind face now, his hands were also stained with blood back then. He is old, and he doesn't care about the reward because of the great cause of the Zhang family, but it is also a great honor and talking point to let Liu Bei, who is famous all over the world, see his name in the military merit book, isn't it? What's more, I also have a thousand-mile horse in my own family, I believe that with Zhang Wenyuan, it will be easy for the Zhang family to enjoy several generations of wealth, right? In this way, when he came to Jiuquan, he was worthy of his ancestors and ancestors.
