Ma Teng led the troops into Chang'an, and there was chaos in the city.

On the other side, after Zhang Xiu led the troops to leave, he had already met Wang Can and was leading the troops to intercept Wang Can's army.

Zhang Xiu led 3,000 elite cavalry from Xiliang, brave and good at fighting, very powerful. These cavalrymen were all trained by Zhang Xiu himself, and they were loyal and belonged to the soldiers who were loyal to Zhang Xiu.

The two armies met, and the two sides fought for a while.

During the battle, Zhao Yun did not fight, and Wang Can only sent Huang Zhong and Dian Wei, who were fierce and domineering, and killed Zhang Xiu in defeat.

Despite this, Zhang Xiu still fought and retreated, and did not retreat directly.

Zhang Xiu and Wang Can fought, and they were very aggrieved and depressed. Because although everyone in his cavalry was not afraid of death and desperately rushed to kill, they could not defeat Wang Can's cavalry with momentum.

The cavalry of the Western Liang Army relied on horsemanship to control the war horses, while the broken military camp had saddles, stirrups and horseshoe, occupying an absolute advantage; At the same time, the weapons of the cavalry of the Xiliang Army were all ordinary steel knives, while the spears of the cavalry of the broken barracks were forged by Pu Yuan and others, which were sharp and tough; In addition, the marksmanship of the soldiers in the broken barracks was taught by Zhao Yun himself, and every soldier was very powerful, and the Xiliang soldiers could not win.

In this way, the Xiliang cavalry could not stop the cavalry of the broken barracks.

Zhang Xiu lost consecutive battles and kept retreating.

The battle lasted only one day, and 800 of his 3,000 cavalry were killed and wounded, and 2,000 were seriously wounded.

With such a record, it can be said that there are heavy casualties. According to this proportion, he will resist for two more days, and he will squander the cavalry under his command. Moreover, this is still the situation that Zhang Xiu did not lead the troops and Wang Can's army to the death, if Zhang Xiu led the troops to resist to the death, all the 3,000 cavalry under his command would be killed by Wang Can.

At night, the stars are shining.

In the camp where the Xiliang Army was stationed, the lights were bright.

Outside the camp, rows of repulsive horses were erected to prevent Wang Can from leading his troops to sneak attack.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the lights are bright. Zhang Xiu sat in the big tent, looking anxious, with a thick look of worry on her face. He no longer thinks about continuing to block Wang Can, because after two years, Wang Can's troops are even more difficult to resist. Two years ago, when he led his troops to pursue Wang Can, he fought with Dian Wei, and at that time he saw the strength of Wang Can's army.

Now that he is fighting again, Zhang Xiu feels that the Xiliang soldiers will be defeated.

At this time, Zhang Xiu had already considered where to retreat in order to keep the army.

On the desk, a sketchy map was placed. The names of the surrounding cities were marked on the map, and Zhang Xiu calculated them one by one, carefully considering where there would be a place to stay.

Wang Can attacked Chang'an, and it was obviously impossible for Zhang Xiu to continue to stay.

Therefore, he had to withdraw from Chang'an, and the question was where to settle down after leaving Chang'an, which was something that Zhang Xiu considered.

To the west, it is the territory of Ma Teng and Han Sui; To the north is the territory of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan; To the east is Cao Cao's territory; Go south to interview Wang Can's territory.

In these four places, Ma Teng and Han Sui were entrenched in Xiliang when Dong Zhuo was alive, and they belonged to people who listened to the tune and did not listen to the propaganda, which was difficult to defeat; Cao Cao, Wang Can, and Yuan Shao are all overlords, and it is difficult to have a place for them. In fact, Zhang Xiu can defect to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and even Wang Can, who once threw an olive branch to him, like Lu Bu.

However, Zhang Xiu's arrogance did not allow for surrender.

Just when Zhang Xiu was in a dilemma, his eyes staring at the map suddenly lit up.

Nanyang County, Wancheng!

This place, located in the southeast of Chang'an, is a good place to go.

Wancheng is located in the east of Yizhou, north of Jingzhou, west of Yuzhou, south of Luoyang, and borders Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Wang Can, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and other princes. No matter which way the princes are, they all want to take Wancheng, but it is impossible to send troops, because it is impossible to involve a prince.

Therefore, Zhang Xiu went to Wancheng to station, which is a good place. Zhang Xiu didn't know what the final outcome of being stationed in Wancheng would be, but he knew that it was a place to stay.

The target is Wancheng.

After Zhang Xiu thought clearly, he suddenly became enlightened, ready to make a false shot tomorrow, and then quickly rushed back to Chang'an, so that Zhang Ji could lead the troops to leave Luoyang and take Wancheng as a foundation. At this time, Zhang Xiu no longer had the intention of fighting with Wang Can and Cao Cao, and it was not bad to go to Wancheng to divide one side.

"Step! Trample! ”

There was a rush of footsteps, and a lieutenant lifted the curtain and walked in.

He was followed by the lieutenant, and a soldier with blood stained on his body.

This soldier was the soldier who escaped from Zhang Ji's mansion, and he took advantage of the chaos in the city to escape from the south gate and rode to Zhang Xiu's camp overnight.

"General, something has happened, something has happened!"

The soldier threw himself on his knees and shouted loudly.

Zhang Xiu frowned slightly, and shouted, "What's the howl? What happened, carefully and clearly. ”

The soldier's expression was humble and respectful, and he arched his hand and said, "Return to the general, the lord was killed by Ma Chao." Early this morning, Ma Teng led his troops into the city, and Ma Chao led his troops to kill the lord. ”

Zhang Xiuluo stood up suddenly, walked to the soldier, pulled up the soldier's shirt, and said, "How is it possible? The city of Chang'an is strong, and there is a large army in the city to resist, so it is impossible to be breached. After a pause, Zhang Xiu held up incredulously and asked, "What the hell is going on, how was Chang'an City breached?" ”

The soldier looked frightened, and 1510 told the story.

At the mention of Yang Feng, the soldiers gritted their teeth even more.

After Zhang Xiu listened, he was furious, pulled out the long sword at his waist with a sonorous sound, and directly cut off the desk to vent the anger in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and shouted angrily: "Ma Chao Xiaoer, I will swear to stand with you and swear to kill you." ”

After hearing this, the captain's face changed greatly.

Chang'an has fallen, and returning to Chang'an is not a good thing!

At this time, the curtain of the tent was opened, and three more generals came.

These three people are the three young generals under Zhang Xiu.

One of them was very strong, with a fierce face and an ugly face, and his name was Hu Che'er. This manpower is infinite, can carry 500 catties, travel more than 700 miles a day, and is the first general under Zhang Xiu. The other two are named Lei Xu and Zhang Xian, although their martial arts are not as good as Hu Che'er, their heads are much more flexible.

When the three of them came in, they asked what was going on, and their faces changed drastically.

Lei Xu thought for a while, clenched his fists and said: "Lord, Chang'an was seized by Ma Teng, Wang Can and Cao Cao went to Chang'an, and the two of them are bound to kill Ma Teng and kidnap the emperor in order to compete for the emperor." When the time comes, Ma Chao is killed by Wang Can or Cao Cao, and the old general's revenge will naturally be avenged, and Chang'an has fallen into a battle and can't go back. ”

Zhang Xian continued: "General, there is no way forward, there is no way back, it is better to plan early." ”

Zhang Xiu's expression changed uncertainly, and her mood was extremely complicated. He wanted to kill Ma Chao in his heart, but the city of Chang'an City was strong, and he couldn't take Chang'an in a short time without Neiying, plus Wang Can was pressing behind him step by step, Zhang Xiu had enough time to attack Chang'an, so he had to leave and go to Wancheng.

Zhang Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "Pack up and go straight to the Qingni Pass overnight." Then we went east and went straight to Wancheng, where we gained a foothold and took the opportunity to take the entire Nanyang County. ”

"No!"

When several generals heard this, they immediately agreed.

After the army packed up, they quietly left in the night.

Zhang Xiu led the troops to withdraw, and Wang Can immediately got the news, but he hadn't gotten the news back from Chang'an, so he didn't know why Zhang Xiu retreated overnight?

PS: The fourth more guarantee is completed, and the work is called.
