Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

"General, why did General Zhang come back alone?" A captain came up and asked in confusion.

The guard also noticed that something was wrong. Zhang Xiu had brought 90% of the cavalry in the city out, but now he returned to the city alone. The whole thing seemed strange.

"General Zhang, wait a moment. I will go to the army and inform the two generals." The guard glanced at the captain and ran down the city wall quickly.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiu didn't get angry and waited quietly at the city gate.

Half an hour later, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou hurried to the city under the leadership of the guard.

"Open the city gate quickly and let Youwei enter the city." Zhang Ji said hurriedly. No matter whether Zhang Xiu failed or won when he left the city, he was still his nephew. Moreover, Zhang Ji did not have a son and always regarded Zhang Xiu as his own child.

treat.

Fan Cou frowned slightly, but didn't say much. Zhang Xiu returned alone, which to a certain extent explained everything.

Zhang Ji and Fan Chou were very depressed during this period. They clearly had the advantage of the city wall, but they were vulnerable to the Bingzhou Army's offensive. The thousands of defenders in the city were like decorations in front of the Bingzhou Army. The city wall was finally repaired.

It looked very fragile under the Pili chariot. If this situation continues, Gaoling City will definitely be defeated in less than a month. Three groups of soldiers have been sent to Chang'an for help, but they still haven't seen the arrival of reinforcements.

After entering the city, Zhang Ji asked: "Youwei, how is the situation with your cavalry leading the battle?"

Zhang Xiu looked at Zhang Ji's expectant eyes, with a look of shame on his face: "General, he was doing things poorly under his humble position, and the Bingzhou Army found out, and the Marquis of Jin sent his general Zhao Yun to lead the cavalry to chase down the Xiliang cavalry, causing the Xiliang cavalry to be defeated.

"

Fan Chou said in surprise: "The first attack failed? How did the Marquis of Jin know that there were Xiliang army cavalry on the battlefield?"

Looking at the confused looks of the two men, Zhang Xiu explained the situation on the battlefield, including being defeated by Zhao Yun.

"Since General Zhang was defeated by Zhao Yun, how can he return to the city calmly?" Fan Chou looked wary. He and Zhang Ji already had some conflicts. It was only because of the arrival of the Bingzhou Army and the crisis in Gaoling that he temporarily put the conflicts aside.

, and he was always wary of Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew.

Zhang Xiu said: "Originally, Beizhi had the belief that he would die, but during the fight, he recognized Zhao Yun as Beizhi's junior brother, so he followed Zhao Yun to the Bingzhou Army. Beizhi had promised to join the Jin Hou, and now he went to the city.

To convince you two."

Seeing Zhang Xiu directly stating his purpose, Fan Chou fell into silence. If Zhang Xiu had said this before the fight, he would definitely have taken action. However, the situation at this time had already made him unable to be stubborn.

The situation of the army is worrying. Once the city is captured by the Bingzhou Army, where will he go? And he feels that Chang'an's reinforcements cannot be counted on. At this time, how can Guo Si and Li Jue take the risk to come to support, and Guo Si

Si and Li Jue also believed that they would not open the door to surrender. The main reason was that their identities were kept there. Who dared to recruit the traitors who killed the Han Emperor? This was also the source of confidence for Li Jue and Guo Si.

"I wonder what the benefits are of joining the Marquis of Jin?" Fan Chou asked. If Lü Bu offered enough conditions, he would not refuse. Gaoling was at the end of its battle, and without foreign aid, it would be defeated by Lü Bu sooner or later.

Zhang Xiu said slowly: "The Marquis of Jin said that if he was willing to open the city gate to welcome the army into the city, he would report the matter to the Holy Emperor and not hold the Xiliang Army accountable. The two generals in the future will also be under the Marquis of Jin.

general."

Regarding Zhang Xiu's answer, not to mention Fan Chou was dissatisfied. Even Zhang Ji frowned because Lu Bu did not clarify what kind of positions they would get. Becoming generals under the Marquis of Jin did get rid of their status as traitors.

, however, after arriving in Bingzhou, the two of them did not want to lose the power in their hands so early. A general would become worthless once the military power in his hands was removed.

Seemingly seeing their doubts, Zhang Ji explained the system of the Bingzhou Army. He was the one who still found it incredible after hearing about the system of the Bingzhou Army. Under the system of the Bingzhou Army, ordinary soldiers were treated fairly. If there were

With enough ability, even ordinary soldiers have the opportunity to become high-ranking generals. However, it is not so good for generals with average ability.

For example, if Fan Chou has been in a high position for a long time, not to mention rushing to the battlefield, he will lose all his skills.

"If that's the case, I would rather die than surrender to the Marquis of Jin." Fan Chou snorted coldly.

Zhang Xiu said: "General Fan doesn't want to become a traitor that is reviled by thousands of people in the future. Even if he can defend Chang'an, has General Fan ever thought about his descendants?"

Fan Chou was silent when he heard this. Although he lived a comfortable life in Zuo Fengyi, the price he had to bear was also huge. When it came to the issue of his descendants, he couldn't help but ignore it.

"This matter is of great importance. Please allow me, General, to go back and think about it." Fan Chou said.

"I hope General Fan will make a decision early. The Marquis of Jin is waiting for the reply from his humble position." Zhang Xiu said: "The Marquis of Jin said that he will launch a real attack on Gaoling in one day."

After Fan Chou left, Zhang Ji turned his attention to Zhang Xiu and asked, "Did the Marquis of Jin really say that?"

Zhang Xiu nodded. He also knew that it would be very difficult for Zhang Ji and Fan Chou to defect to the Bingzhou Army with such a promise. At the same time, he was also a little confused. Ordinarily, if Lu Bu wanted to let the two of them defect to the Bingzhou Army, he should offer generous enough conditions.

Yes, after all, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji are also temporary figures. Just removing the traitor hat from the two of them seems a bit incredible, but that's what Lu Bu did.

After a long time, Zhang Ji asked: "Youwei, in your opinion, what should we do?"

"The Marquis of Jin is an outstanding man. If my uncle joins me, he will not be in trouble. My nephew has promised that the Marquis of Jin will serve in the Bingzhou Army." Zhang Xiu said.

Zhang Ji's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He knew Zhang Xiu's character quite well. Once he decided something, he would not change it easily. Moreover, Zhang Xiu was also quite comprehensive in considering things. Zhang Ji agreed with this point.

"Okay, I have agreed to join the Marquis of Jin. I just hope that as the Marquis of Jin has promised, I will not embarrass the soldiers under my command," Zhang Jidao.

Zhang Xiu's face was filled with joy, "Uncle, don't worry, the Marquis of Jin will definitely not go back on his words, but there will inevitably be extremely vicious people in the army. If the Marquis of Jin finds out, he will definitely be punished."

Zhang Ji nodded, "This is what should be done."

"My uncle's abilities are average. Youwei's presence at my uncle's side also hid all of Youwei's abilities. When Youwei arrived in the Bingzhou Army, it was time to show off his great ambitions," Zhang Jidao.
