In fact, Zhang Ji's age is not yet thirty years old, but after arriving in Chang'an, he indulged in wine, his body was gradually emptied, his kidney qi was deficient, and a large area of white hair had appeared on his temples, which looked like he was in his fifties.

Hearing Liu Rui's order to collect the troops and return to the camp, Xiahou Lan was overjoyed, spit out a mouthful of turbidity with hatred, and with a raise of the spear in his hand, the soldiers slowly retreated in an orderly manner.

Zhang Ji's eyes widened at the head of the city, and suddenly saw the fairy-like woman get back into the car, only to feel that his mind was ethereal, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and he turned around and asked Zhang Xiu: "Xiu'er, have you ever seen Zhao Yun in the pass." ”

Zhang Xiu shook his head and said, "I haven't seen this." ”

Zhang Ji was immediately overjoyed and said: "Quick, order the troops out of the customs, don't let the woman go." ”

Zhang Xiu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Uncle Qiqi, be careful of the enemy's deception." ”

Zhang Ji's face sank, and he said: "Xiu'er, that woman is your aunt, she was lost in the enemy camp, and she came to meet me, so don't go and rescue her back." ”

Zhang Xiu touched his head, there are so many aunts in his uncle's house, how come this one has never been seen, I don't understand where this aunt came from, so I had to promise to go down to the pass to order soldiers, but Zhang Ji didn't know, his words were also crooked, and the woman who closed down was Liu Rui, who he couldn't find back then.

Closing the door and opening, Zhang Ji rushed to the front first, although he came quickly, Xiahou Lan retreated faster, the menacing army just now is now five miles away, Zhang Ji bullied others less, Zhao Yun who scared him the most was not in the army, and there were beauties in front of him, and he became more and more courageous, just urging the soldiers to chase forward,

As he saw that he was about to catch up, the sky suddenly darkened, the wind blew fiercely, the sand and rocks flew away, the lightning thundered, and a heavy rain fell without warning.

The infantry of the Fourth Army did not have the slightest confusion because of the rain, and still withdrew to the barracks in an orderly manner, while these old Luoyang troops led by Zhang Ji were noisy, chaotic, and stagnant, Zhang Ji whipped and drove away for a long time, but did not see any improvement, and when he looked ahead, the heavy rain blocked the view, and the carriage and the men and horses guarding it had long disappeared,

Zhang Ji sighed helplessly, and went back to Wuguan, and came to the pass, but saw that the gate was closed, and Zhang Ji's subordinates shouted in front of the pass: "Quickly open and close the door, General Zhang is back." ”

But I heard the city head reply: "General Dong has an order, now the rainstorm is blowing, the enemy and me are inseparable, no one is allowed to open and close it privately, so as not to be taken advantage of by the enemy, if it is really General Zhang who returns, please ask him to rest before the pass, and it is not too late to enter the pass after the rain stops." ”

Zhang Ji unconsciously scolded in front of the pass, but his voice was soon drowned in the sound of the rushing rain, and the people on the gate didn't even bother to reply.

Dong Xiu sat in the city tower, holding a tea bowl in his hand, enjoying the rain outside, his mood was particularly comfortable, and he said to his cronies with a smile: "This rain is really timely, Zhang Ji has always had no one in his eyes, and today he just took advantage of this rain to teach him a little lesson." ”

His confidant Dong Ping hesitated for a moment and persuaded: "General Qiyu, Zhang Jizheng is favored by the Taishi, let's switch and let them in, if the matter gets big and reaches the ears of the Taishi, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to the general." ”

It's good that he didn't mention this stubble, but when he mentioned this stubble, Dong Xiu became even more popular, took a few shots, and said: "Hmph, when Lao Tzu was a Zhonglang general, he was still a small soldier, and now he actually wants to climb to Lao Tzu's head, even if the Taishi knows, what can I do, I am also for the sake of the safety of Wuguan, the main general guarding Wuguan is me, who will take this responsibility if Wuguan is lost, and it will be me Dong Xiu, not him Zhang Ji." ”

A soldier ran in in a panic and shouted: "General Qiyu, the big thing is not good, General Zhang's subordinates have begun to pound the gate before the pass, please guard it." ”

Dong Xiu sneered and said: "I can't stand the rain after only a while, what can I do, since I don't want to get drenched in the rain, then give them a change of taste, give them an order, and release the arrow." ”

The rain was too heavy, Zhang Ji didn't see any signs of changing the sky when he went out of the pass, the soldiers didn't even have a little rain shelter, and those with shields were better, so they put the shield on their heads, and those who didn't have a shield had to obediently drench in the rain, naturally there was a complaint, Zhang Ji knew that it was because he was fascinated for a while that he caused this trouble, seeing that Dong Xiu refused to open the door, and didn't even answer his shouting, he was immediately annoyed and angry, and rushed to the gate in person, and began to hit the gate with his own soldiers,

The gate of Wuguan is unusually strong, and they don't have tools such as rushing cars and logs, only relying on shoulders, gun shafts, and knife handles, even if they hit the door for a year, they don't want to hit the door, Zhang Ji also knows that this is useless, just want to get angry, who knows that Dong Xiu won't even agree to him like this, with an order, the arrows on the city are sprinkled with torrential rain, and there are bursts of ghosts crying wolf howls in front of the pass, Zhang Ji watched the soldiers around him fall a large piece, and he was so angry that he stomped his feet there, scolded all the eighteen generations of Dong Xiu's ancestors, but Dong Xiu, who was sitting in the city tower drinking tea and watching the scenery, only had the sound of "whoosh" rain in his ears, but where could he hear half of the sentence,

Zhang Ji was jumping there with his feet, not beware of an arrow shooting from the city, hitting his forehead, Zhang Ji screamed, fell on his back, and the soldiers under the leadership of Zhang Xiu lifted Zhang Ji to the side, Zhang Ji was already unconscious,

The rain became heavier and heavier, and it did not slowly weaken until dusk, Dong Xiu was still not allowed to open the door, drinking tea by himself, humming a small song, suddenly, another soldier ran over, and said eagerly: "General Qiqi, there is a group of men and horses after the pass, under the banner of the Han army, please make a decision." ”

Dong Xiu said without raising his head: "What's the fuss, what's the big deal with the banner of the Han army, I have the banner of the Han army in the Wuguan warehouse, but Lao Tzu disdains to hang it." ”

The soldier said expectantly: "General Yu, the banner of the Han army behind the pass seems to be a little different, it seems to be the men and horses of Liu Xin of Jingzhou. ”

Dong Xiu suddenly jumped up like a spring, grabbed the soldier, and shouted: "What are you talking about, Liu Xin's men and horses, how is it possible, how can they come here, is it impossible to lose the pass, this is impossible, you are the enemy's annihilation, confusing the army's heart here." ”

The soldier trembled with fright, and said in a loud voice: "General Mingjian, the little one doesn't dare to tell half a lie, the general will know when he goes to the city." ”

Dong Xiu sat down dejectedly, rubbed his hands together, and said in a loud voice: "How is this good, after Liu Xin's men and horses arrive at the pass, then the grain road on the pass will be cut off, how long can this pass be guarded." ”

His worries are not as reasonable, it turned out that the pass was stored some grain and grass, but the soldiers guarding the pass were only 10,000, and later increased to 30,000, and now with the addition of Zhang Ji's withdrawal into the pass, there are 80,000 people, so many people, the Wuguan is crowded, people eat horses and chew, and there is not much grain and grass left on the pass, Dong Zhuo is preparing to send people to Chang'an to urge grain in two days, who knows that he has waited for this news, it is tantamount to a bad news for him,

Another cronie, He An, arched his hand and said: "General Qiyu, it is better to put General Zhang's men and horses in front of the pass, everyone has the same hatred and hatred, and rush to the back of the pass for a while, maybe you can recapture a way out." ”

Dong Ping hurriedly stopped and said: "The general must not, let Zhang Ji enter the customs at this time, he will definitely find an excuse to find the general's bad luck, even if he kills the general, he can also be pushed into the hands of Liu Xin's army under the city, and if you want to let him in, you have to wait until Liu Xin's army retreats." ”

Dong Xiu hesitated for a long time and said, "Let's go, come with me to see how many of them there are." ”

I saw that in the open space behind the pass, the black pressure was full of people, and the first two young generals were each holding knives and guns, it was Sun Ce and Wei Yan, fighting under the pass in the rain, Dong Xiu had not been in the battle formation for a long time, and when he saw this formation, he didn't feel a little weak.

But he heard Sun Ce shouting loudly under the pass: "Listen to the people in the city, Dong Zhuo has been defeated, and he will be captured soon, so those who know the current affairs should hurry up and surrender the city, otherwise Lu Bu's fate will be your example." ”

Dong Xiu was so anxious that he was at a loss, and said in a loud voice: "What can I do, what can I do here." ”

Dong Ping gritted his teeth and persuaded: "General, listen to the tone of the people in the city, the defeat of the Taishi army is a foregone conclusion, and the general should make plans as soon as possible, since they dare to say that Lu Bu's fate is our example, I am afraid that Lu Bu is also more than lucky." ”

Dong Xiu hesitated: "You mean to make me surrender." ”

He An, who was still persuading Dong Xiu to put Zhang Ji in to fight the enemy together, heard that even Lu Bu might have died, so he suddenly made a 180-degree turn, and also said on the side: "General, those who know the times are Junjie, I heard that Liu Xin treats the generals well, and it is better to surrender early than late, please check the general." ”

While speaking, the soldiers under the city suddenly let out an earth-shattering shout, the soldiers parted to both sides, a column of archers walked to the front, but the position they were standing in was outside the range of the close, only to see Wei Yan's knife gently raised, the archers opened their bows and arrows together, aimed at the head of the city, the defenders on the head of the city looked down from the battlements, here is far beyond the range, I don't understand why these people do such useless work, as Wei Yan's long knife swung down hard, thousands of feather arrows like lightning, through the rain curtain straight to the head of the city,

There was a light and crisp metal impact sound from the city, which was the sound of feather arrows shooting on armor and shields, but fortunately, Dong Xiu's neck shrank quickly, and a feather arrow was inserted into his helmet, scaring him into a cold sweat.

Seeing that the bows and arrows of the army under the city were so sharp, Dong Xiu decided not to hesitate anymore, he had been a person for half a lifetime, and he had to think about his children and grandchildren, there was no need to continue to work for Dong Zhuo, not to mention that Dong Zhuo had treated him a little worse than before in recent years, Dong Xiu took advantage of the interval when the bows and arrows under the city stopped, and hurriedly went to the edge of the battlements and shouted: "Don't release arrows, don't release arrows, we surrender, we surrender." ”
