At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

From the battlefield to Meiyang City, there is only less than twenty miles away, but this journey is extremely difficult!

Without the harassment of the Xiliang Army, let alone any obstacles, the physical strength of the Han infantry was indeed exhausted.

This exhaustion of physical strength was even more serious than Liu Zhang imagined!

Most of the soldiers didn't even have the strength to stand up, and some fell asleep directly, unable to wake up, let alone walk twenty miles back to the city!

Fortunately, many horses were free among the cavalry, and together with one man and two cavalry from the Wufeng camp, they finally pulled the infantry back.

Just like that, the journey was not that far, but after walking for nearly two hours, it was already dark!

Huang Zhong and the others had already discovered the traces of Liu Zhang and the others, and when Liu Zhang and the others arrived at the city of Meiyang, they had already been waiting here.

"My lord!"

Jia Xu, Xun You, Huang Zhong, and Dian Wei stepped forward to welcome Liu Zhang back to the city.

"Everyone has worked hard! Did the Xiliang army come to attack the city?"

"Hahahahahaha!"

Dian Wei laughed out loud, his pride was already written all over his face!

"My lord, the military master is really ingenious. He tricked the Xiliang army into the Weng City with a little trick! This time, the brothers in the martial arts battalion must be very happy, and the arrows have been shot in vain!"

"And me, my lord, I personally captured the enemy general! Hahaha, captured alive!"

Zhang Wen, who was originally in the back, heard Dian Wei's words and rushed to the front, even squeezing in front of Liu Zhang.

"Who was caught!"

Zhang Wen's reckless behavior greatly aroused Dian Wei's dissatisfaction, and he didn't have any intention of answering.

Dian Wei didn't like Zhang Wen very much, nor would he respect Zhang Wen just because of his official position. In Dian Wei's heart, there is always only one boss, and that is Liu Zhang!

Zhang Wen was not tall at all, only less than seven feet tall. Standing in front of Dian Wei who was more than nine feet tall, he couldn't even reach his chest, so he could only look up at Dian Wei with his head up.

Although Dian Wei was reckless, he held grudges very much, so he pretended to turn a blind eye, raised his head and didn't look at Zhang Wen at all, and just left him where he was.

Zhang Wen was the general of the defeated army, and he didn't dare to get angry with the victorious Dian Wei, so he could only look at Liu Zhang for help.

"Come on, who did you capture alive?"

Liu Zhang understood and asked directly. He was also very curious.

Hearing Liu Zhang's voice, Dian Wei immediately put on a cheerful expression.

"My lord, he said his name is Li Wenhou! He has 10,000 cavalry with him!"

what! Li Wenhou!

Not only Liu Zhang was pleasantly surprised, but even all the generals and officers looked incredible!

Who is Li Wenhou? He is the general and commander of the Xiliang rebels! It is the existence of shareholder level!

Now some soldiers and horses of the Xiliang Army are actually Li Wenhou's private soldiers. Like Beigong Boyu, he is the leader of Yi Conghu in Huangzhong.

"What about the soldiers and horses under his command?"

Seeing Liu Zhang's expectant expression, Dian Wei laughed again.

"Hahaha, my lord, nearly half of the 10,000 cavalry were killed or injured. Except for a few who escaped, the rest were all captured!"

"it is good!"

Liu Zhang couldn't help shouting, originally the officers and troops were defeated on the battlefield, if the Xiliang Army loses another 10,000 cavalry, this battle will not be regarded as too much loss!

"You two military advisors have worked hard! Without you, Meiyang City would definitely be in danger!"

Liu Zhang walked up to Jia Xu and Xun You and expressed his deep gratitude.

Meiyang City has a lot to do with it. Once it is lost, the officers and soldiers will lose all their supplies, and they will have to retreat to Chang'an!

But without food, what do these tens of thousands of troops and tens of thousands of horses eat!

Without food, even though Liu Zhang has all-powerful abilities, it will be difficult for him to fight against the Xiliang army.

"My lord, this is all Wenhe's strategy, you dare not share the credit!"

Xun You didn't have any negative emotions at all, and pushed Jia Xu out half-jokingly.

"My lord, don't listen to Gongda's nonsense, everyone here plays a vital role!"

Jia Xu didn't mean to take the credit alone at all, and generously shared the credit with everyone.

Liu Zhang nodded in satisfaction. The direct harmony and humility of his subordinates made him very comfortable.

"Rear General, the soldiers are exhausted, let's go to the city as soon as possible!"

Liu Zhang was taken aback when he heard Zhang Wen's pleading tone, and quickly agreed.

After all, Zhang Wen is also a chariot general, and now he speaks in such a low voice?

It seems that the blow to Zhang Wen this time is very big, and it has already made him lose a trace of self-confidence! In other words, I will rely more on myself in the future.

"Report!"

Just as everyone was about to step into the city gate, they heard a hurried sound coming from behind, which cheered up all the generals.

"What's the matter? Could it be that the Xiliang rebels are attacking again?"

Zhang Wen looked at the soldier nervously, for fear that the soldier would confirm his words.

"General Qiqi, it's not the Xiliang army that's coming to attack, but General Di Yang is back. I'm asking to see the general outside."

Zhang Wen exhaled lightly and relaxed. However, Di Yang disappeared at a critical moment, and Zhang Wen was also very curious about where he went.

"Let him in."

Not long after, a burly figure came in and knelt down in front of Zhang Wen. The man was disheveled and extremely embarrassed.

"I pay my respects to Zhang Cheqi."

Zhang Wen didn't wake up Di Yang, but frowned.

"General Di, why did you disappear after chasing the Xiliang army earlier? We are waiting for a bloody battle with the traitors, where are you!"

Zhang Wen doesn't understand military affairs, but he is not a fool. Looking back now, everything is very unreasonable.

First, Di Yang persuaded his whole army to pursue him, then beheaded the general to boost morale, and even defeated Beigong Boyu to increase his confidence!

Moreover, Di Yang once followed Huangfusong to fight the Xiliang army, and was caught in the same ambush as this time, why would he instigate himself to pursue it?

It is said that the authorities are confused by the onlookers, and now Zhang Wen has jumped out of the fog, and everything is clear in his mind.

Di Yang knelt on the ground, not knowing the expression on his face, but the sweat on his forehead seemed to express his nervousness.

"Qi Zhang Cheqi, when his subordinate was chasing the Xiliang rebels, unfortunately he fell off his horse and fell into a coma! When his subordinate woke up again, the army disappeared! This subordinate ran wildly for a long time before returning here!"

Di Yang's tone was very calm, and he couldn't hear any loopholes. Coupled with his embarrassing look, there seems to be no problem.

Looking at Di Yang who was kneeling on the ground, Zhang Wen was also troubled.

fell off the horse? Is this convincing? But this claim cannot be completely denied.

Zhang Wen admired Di Yang's bravery, but he was the instigator of the defeat, which made Zhang Wen feel bad.

Undecided, Zhang Wen looked at Liu Zhang, hoping that Liu Zhang could give him some advice.

Liu Zhang sneered, and was about to speak when he heard Jia Xu beside him speak first.

"My lord, General Di is brave. It is justifiable to accidentally fall off the horse after a hard fight. Let the general return to the city to heal his injuries!"

Liu Zhang was startled for a moment, and after a moment of hesitation, he agreed to Jia Xu's words.

"That's right, General Di has done a lot, so let's go back to the city to recuperate as soon as possible!"
