Zhang Liao's original intention was to defect to Chen Xu, but he didn't expect it to be like this. In today's situation, he is in a dilemma.

According to Zhang Liao's arrogance, he now has the idea of abandoning the city and fleeing to Dong Zhuo.

That's why, on the city wall, he told the guards of Ma Yi that two days later, there would be a clever plan to destroy the enemy.

However, after Wang Yan received Chen Xu's letter, although he stopped the siege. However, he sent troops and cut off all the routes that the defenders of Mayi could break through.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liao smiled bitterly, and secretly thought in his heart: "Do you really want to meet Yan Zheng in this way?" ”

For two consecutive days, the Yellow Turban Army really did not attack the city, and Zhang Liao began to relax his vigilance.

For he had seen the epistle, and it was indeed stamped with the seal of the shepherd. He used to work for the state, and he can't be mistaken.

In Zhang Liao's opinion, since Chen Xu gave Wang Yan an order not to attack the city, he would never dare to disobey Chen Xu's general order.

And the performance of the Yellow Turban Army in the past two days also confirmed Zhang Liao's speculation.

In the Yellow Turban Army outside the city of Mayi, Wang Yan, Dian Wei, Chen Jing, and Jiang Wu gathered together.

Until now, Dian Wei was still indignant in his heart, and he said to Wang Yan, who was sitting in the first place: "Wang Shuai, Zhang Liao's raid on our camp led to the death of countless brothers. ”

"Such a big revenge, we can't avenge it with our own hands, but let Gao Yanzheng lead the troops to come and capture Mayi. The rumor will go out, how can I save face? ”

Although Dian Wei's status is not lower than Wang Yan, now Wang Yan is the main general, and he is only a deputy general. So in the face of Wang Yan, he didn't dare to make a mistake.

Jiang Wu also echoed: "Yes, yes." ”

"The lord's meaning is just to let us not hurt Zhang Liao's life. We can completely capture Mayi, capture Zhang Liao alive, and then sacrifice it to the lord's account. ”

"In this way, I can avenge the last time I was robbed by Zhang Liao; Second, you can also take down Ma Yi and make a contribution, why not? ”

When Wang Yan heard the words of the two, he didn't speak, but just set his eyes on Chen Jing.

Chen Jing thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Before I set off, the lord asked me to wait to seize Yanmen County." ”

"Since Mayi is a subordinate county of Yanmen County, we are naturally obliged to take Mayi."

"As the saying goes: will be outside, the king's order is not subject to it. Even if General Gao came, Zhang Liao would not necessarily surrender Kaicheng. At that time, another big war was indispensable. ”

"But now, our army has not attacked the city for two days, and the defenders of Mayi have begun to slacken. When Zhang Liao saw the letter from the lord, he must have thought that we would not attack the city. ”

"If our army takes advantage of the night and sneaks into the city, the defenders of Mayi will be caught off guard and will be extremely panicked. At that time, we will be able to capture Mayi without wasting our efforts. ”

Hearing Chen Jing's words, Dian Wei and Jiang Wu were overjoyed.

Among several generals, Chen Jing is the younger brother of Chen Xu. They all thought that Chen Jing would strictly obey Chen Xu's orders.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jing actually wanted to attack Ma Yi as well.

In fact, the thoughts of the generals, Chen Jing was clear in his heart.

The generals under Chen Xu's account, although they have a good relationship in private, are not divided into factions.

But everyone is a general, so it is inevitable that they will have the idea of competing for merit and comparison.

Especially this time, Chen Xu divided into three armies and attacked the three counties. It stands to reason that Yanmen County is the easiest to capture, and they also have elite soldiers along the way.

But now, the entire Taiyuan County has been captured by Chen Xu. As Chen Xu's subordinates, they naturally did not dare to compete with Chen Xu.

However, Zhao Yun's cavalry, as well as Gao Shun's trapped camp. In the face of these two military groups, they, the infantry generals, are not willing to be compared.

The cavalry under Zhao Yun's tent can be said to be the most elite team in the entire Yellow Turban Army. Chen Xu once relied on this cavalry and made great achievements.

For this cavalry, although the infantry generals of Dian Wei were red-eyed, they had to admit their strong combat effectiveness.

But for Gao Shun's account, the 1,500-person trapped camp, the generals of Dian Wei were a little unconvinced.

When the trapping camp was formed, no one in the Yellow Turban Army agreed except for Chen Xu. After all, this team consumes too many resources.

However, Chen Xuli had to spend a lot of resources to form a trap camp, and he had high hopes for this team.

As a result, the rest of the generals felt a little bit of mustard in their hearts.

This time, if you wait for Gao Shun to come, you will finally break through the county seat of Mayi. Wouldn't it, the few generals who had been robbed by Zhang Liao, and the 30,000 troops under Wang Yan's account, become a joke?

It was precisely because of the understanding of the generals' minds that Chen Jing would agree to disobey Chen Xu's order and attack Mayi City.

After all, his current identity is also an infantry general.

If he attacked and merged with the state this time, the limelight would be stolen by the cavalry and the trapping camp, and his face would not look good.

Moreover, as he said, now the army of Mayi City is unstable and the people are panicking.

In addition, the defense in the city is lax now, if the Yellow Turban Army takes advantage of the night to attack the city by surprise. There is a great deal of certainty that he will be able to capture Mayi City.

When Wang Yan heard Chen Jing's words, a smile finally appeared on his face, which had been unwavering.

In fact, the **** made people shoot Chen Xu's letter into the city wall of Mayi, just to paralyze Zhang Liao.

As the supreme commander of the attack on Yanmen County, he naturally did not want to see the generals under his tent, but after the setback of Mayi City, he let Gao Shundai's trap camp come to take Mayi.

So from the beginning, he made up his mind to capture Ma Yi without waiting for Gao Shun to arrive.

As for the guard that Chen Xu cared about, he only needed to capture him alive and dedicate him to Chen Xu's account.

With the soldiers and horses in Wang Yan's hands, if he stormed Mayi, although he could also break through, the casualties of the Yellow Turban Army would definitely be very large.

Such a result is not what Wang Yan wants to see.

Over the years, among the generals of the Yellow Turban Army, only Wang Yan was deeply trusted by Chen Xu, and Chen Xu was also very relieved of him.

This can be seen from the beginning, when Chen Xu asked Wang Yan to guard the base camp of Mount Tai, and when he crusaded against Xianbei, he sent Wang Yan to garrison the cottage.

After so many years of training, Wang Yan also has the style of a general.

After listening to Chen Jing's words, he spoke: "In this way, according to what Captain Chen said. ”

Although the relationship between the several people in private is very good, they still remain serious in the military discussion, calling for each other's official positions.

That evening, it was dark.

As usual, the Yellow Turbans left a part of their men and horses to monitor everything in the city. After that, most of the soldiers returned to the camp to rest.

At four o'clock in the morning, Zhang Liao, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly heard the sound of killing in the city.

He hurriedly got up, put on his clothes, put on his armor, picked up his weapon and rushed out. As soon as Zhang Liao went out, he encountered a group of soldiers and horses, they were disheveled and their faces were full of panic.

When these people saw Zhang Liao, they seemed to have found the backbone of the main body, and shouted loudly: "General, the soldiers and horses outside the city have come in." ”

Zhang Liao's face was very ugly, he didn't expect that the Yellow Turban Army actually disobeyed Chen Xu's order, and began to attack the city without waiting for Gao Shun to come.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm the panic in his heart. Zhang Liao now knows that he is still too naïve.

Flames raged all over the city, and shouts of murder rang out. At this time, Zhang Liao's heart calmed down.

He knew that the Yellow Turban Army, which had been planning for a long time, had already entered the city, and their defeat was already doomed.

"Capture Zhang Liao alive, don't kill those who descend!"

"Capture Zhang Liao alive, don't kill those who descend!"

Dian Wei and Jiang Wu led their soldiers to crisscross the city of Mayi, shouting loudly at the top of their voices.

Many of the defenders of Mayi, hearing the shouts of the Yellow Turban Army, threw away their weapons one after another, knelt on the ground and surrendered.

The few who were unwilling to surrender were quickly dispersed by Dian Wei and his people.

Wang Yan and Chen Jing divided the remaining soldiers into four teams and defended the four city gates of the entire Mayi.

This time, they made up their minds to capture Zhang Liao alive.

This battle came and went quickly. The city of Mayi was attacked by surprise, and the defenders in the city had no desire to fight at all.

Dian Wei led the army to rush and kill everywhere, and it didn't take long for him to kill the county government.

Zhang Liao did not run away, he calmly rode on his war horse, holding a big knife and staying in place, waiting for the arrival of the Yellow Turban Army.

Many of the Mayi defenders who rushed to Zhang Liao's side were Zhang Liao's cronies.

When they saw the appearance of their own commander, although they were terrified, they still stood closely behind Zhang Liao and refused to leave.

Zhang Liao looked at the soldiers standing behind him, and was a little moved in his heart. Then, he felt a little guilty.

If he hadn't wanted to show off his abilities, there wouldn't have been so many defenders killed in the city. In the final analysis, it was Zhang Liao's selfishness that killed these people.

Dian Wei and Jiang Wu took the soldiers and soldiers to surround Zhang Liao and others. They didn't let the soldiers rush forward and kill all the defenders next to Zhang Liao.

On the contrary, Dian Wei stepped forward alone and said to Zhang Liao: "You are young, you are brave and courageous, and you are a good talent." ”

"My lord Chen Zhengbei is a hero of the world, and he has always loved talents. If you are willing to surrender, my Lord will not do you any wrong. ”

Zhang Liao looked up to the sky and roared, and then said sharply: "If you want me to surrender, first defeat the big knife in my hand." ”

Dian Wei shook his head and said, "In another ten years, your martial arts will not be below me. But now, you're no match for me. ”

When Dian Wei spoke like this, he was telling the facts, and he didn't mean to be sarcastic about Zhang Liao.

The current Zhang Liao is still too young, and in more than ten years, it will be the time when Zhang Liao's martial arts will reach its peak.

Zhang Liao can only be qualified to compete with Dian Wei if he reaches the peak of his martial arts.

Although Dian Wei was telling the truth, Zhang Liao, who was arrogant, thought he was sarcastic about himself, and immediately became angry.

Zhang Liao raised the big knife in his hand and said sharply: "In this way, Zhang Liao of Yanmen will ask Your Excellency for martial arts!" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Liao patted the horse and took Dian Wei directly.

Although Dian Wei knew that Zhang Liao was not his opponent, he did not dare to be careless. He calmed down and went to fight Zhang Liao.

The two fought for more than 100 rounds, and Zhang Liao was exhausted and was knocked off the horse by Dian Wei. Jiang Wu hurriedly led his troops forward and tied up Zhang Liao.
