Mobile reading

"Senior brother, the lord has sent someone to greet us."

As soon as Zhao Yun's words fell, a cavalryman rushed over and shouted: "General Zhao, the Marquis of Jin led the generals of the army to wait for the general outside the camp. ”

Zhao Yun was shocked in his heart, Lu Bu personally led the generals in the army to greet him, what an honor this is, this kind of treatment, other generals have never enjoyed.

"Summons, speed up." Zhao Yun ordered.

There was still an arrow away from Lu Bu, Zhao Yun turned over and dismounted, handed over the war horse to the soldiers on the side, and walked up quickly with Zhang Xiu.

"How can the last general, how can he be, and the tired lord will personally go out of the camp to greet him." Zhao Yun knelt down on one knee and said.

Lu Bu kindly helped Zhao Yun up and said: "Zilong was able to defeat the enemy this time, which is a great achievement, Ben Hou just walked out of the camp, not worth mentioning." ”

Having said that, the generals in the army could feel that Lu Bu attached great importance to Zhao Yun.

"Lord, this is Zhang Xiu, and he is also a fellow senior brother under him." Zhao Yun solemnly introduced, for fear that Zhang Xiu would not be able to attract Lu Bu's attention.

"Zhang Xiu, the general of the defeated army, has seen the Marquis of Jin." Zhang Xiu hugged his fists.

Lu Bu glanced at Zhang Xiu and said with a smile: "General Zhang and Zilong are brothers in the same sect, so there is no need to be so polite." ”

At this time, Zhang Xiu had time to look at Lu Bu, not to mention anything else, just the height of more than nine feet gave people a sense of admiration, from Lu Bu's body, what he felt was the momentum of not being angry and arrogant, even if this kind of thing was on Li Dao and Guo Yan's bodies, he had not seen it.

After entering the camp to greet each other, Lu Bu set his eyes on Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu, who is eight feet tall, stands out among the crowd, through Zhang Xiu's expression, Lu Bu feels a strong self-confidence, this is a general's confidence in his own martial arts, judging from the situation of the battle on the battlefield, Zhang Xiu is a resourceful person, but this kind of resourcefulness is a little fragile in front of the flying eagle soldiers who are responsible for finding out the news, otherwise, maybe Zhang Xiu and these people will really succeed.

There can't be too many soldiers escorting grain and grass, these soldiers are mainly to deter the young people along the way, and with little negligence, even if there is such a strong existence in the convoy as trapping the camp, it will also suffer a lot of losses, and at that time, the state was in an absolute advantage, who would have thought that at this time, the defenders in the city would dare to send cavalry to plunder the grain and grass of the state army.

"General Zhang doesn't need to be polite, Benhou and Zilong are sworn brothers, since you and Zilong are under the same family, you are not an outsider." Lu Bu said with a smile.

Zhang Xiu's heart moved, he didn't know about Zhao Yun and Lu Bu's swearing before, which can also see how high Zhao Yun's status is in Lu Bu's heart.

"The title of Marquis of Jin is Xia Youwei." Zhang Xiu hugged his fists.

Lu Bu frowned slightly, it could be seen from Zhang Xiu's self-proclaimed that he had not really made a decision, and immediately thought of Zhang Ji in the city, and felt relieved.

Seeing Lu Bu's gaze, Jia Xu said: "General Zhang is also a famous fierce general in the Xiliang Army, the Marquis of Jin came in righteousness, if the defenders in the city are willing to open the city gate to take refuge, the state army will not be embarrassed, otherwise once the army breaks through Gaoling, the defenders in the city will suffer, General Zhang is on the battlefield during this time, maybe he doesn't know much about the situation in Gaoling, after several days of siege by the state army, the moat outside Gaoling has been filled. ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, his complexion changed greatly, Gaoling City was high and deep, and the state army was able to fill up the moat in such a short time, which was extremely unfavorable for the defenders.

Without waiting for Zhang Xiu to answer, Jia Xu continued: "General Zhang, do you know how long it took for the Bingzhou army to fill the moat? In less than five days, the Bingzhou army only lost more than 100 soldiers, and in comparison, the situation of the defenders was not so good. ”

Zhang Xiu's expression was no longer calm, Lu Bu personally saw his intentions as long as he thought about it a little more and he would understand, in Zuo Fengyi for many years, he was not only a fierce general who knew the battlefield to kill, if he wanted Zhang Ji to open the city gate to join the state army, then Lu Bu had to come up with enough benefits, otherwise even if he agreed to Lu Bu to enter the city, it would be difficult to succeed, but at this time, the situation in the city made Zhang Xiu have more thoughts, and from Jia Xu's short words, he could feel the crisis of Gaoling.

"General Zhang is also a rare talent, if you take refuge in Benhou, over time, the state army will have a place for you." Lu Buyan looked at Zhang Xiu quietly.

Zhao Yun naturally felt dissatisfaction from Lu Bu's tone, and then remembered that Zhang Xiu only agreed to follow him to see Lu Bu, and did not say anything about taking refuge.

"Humble Zhang Xiu, I've seen the Marquis of Jin." Zhang Xiu solemnly bowed.

After a while, Lu Bu stepped forward and helped Zhang Xiu up, "With Youwei's help, why worry about not being able to pacify Gaoling." ”

Zhang Xiu said: "Marquis of Jin, I am willing to go to the city and persuade Zhang Ji and Fan Chou to open the city gate." ”

Lu Bu nodded, "You can't do anything to put safety first, the little Gaoling Benhou didn't take it to heart, if he didn't want more soldiers and civilians to die in the war, Gaoling City would definitely be Benhou's at this time." ”

Zhang Xiu said yes, but he was a little disappreciative in his heart, he knew the solidity of Gaoling, even if the state army had such a sharp weapon as a thunderbolt car, it was not easy to break Gaoling in a short time, and there were thousands of defenders in the city, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou were not incompetent.

However, after seeing Gaoling City, Zhang Xiu was taken aback again, the originally slightly majestic city has become potholed at this time, and under the background of the setting sun, it gives people the feeling of being dilapidated.

Zhang Xiu cleaned up his mood, patted his horse and stepped forward and said: "The guards in the city listen, I am Zhang Xiu, quickly open the city gate." ”

The defenders on the city have long noticed Zhang Xiu who came on horseback, at this time the situation of the defenders is not too much to describe as miserable, the thunderbolt car continues to attack the city, making it difficult for the defenders to deal with, not only that, once the thunderbolt stopped, they were worried about the siege from the state army, and the well in the state army left a deep impression on the defenders, if the thunderbolt is a deterrent, then the existence of the well is a slaughter for the defenders.

They were originally in a weak position under the thunderbolt car, and the hasty defense of the city seemed to be negligent, but the archers on the well were harvesting their lives at such times, which could not be prevented, but fortunately, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou had a high prestige in the army, so they did not fall in the successive sieges of the Bingzhou army.

"General Zhang is back." After the guard saw that it was Zhang Xiu, he shouted excitedly, Zhang Xiu has a high prestige in the army with his superb martial arts, and Zhang Xiu's return is a huge excitement for the defenders.
