Prime Minister take care

Chapter 231
Guoting.

As an important place to enter Liangzhou from Yongzhou, it is winter, and there are constant business and travel exchanges.

It's cold early in Liangzhou. At this time, outside Guoting, the sky is gray and mixed with a fine snow.The Liangzhou army guarding the city was walking around at the top of the city. During the handover, three or five soldiers gathered together, rubbing their hands and breathing cold air, waiting at the top of the city.

"These goods always arrive late."

"That's right, in this cold weather."

After working the midnight shift, the soldiers of the Liangzhou Army on the top of the city were already stiff. They were eager to return to the warm squad room, take a sip of hot soup, and then have a good sleep.

Unfortunately, a scream interrupted these soldiers' reverie.

The attention of all the soldiers was focused on the distance. In the hazy field of snow and fog, something seemed to be stirring?
The distance was mixed with the sky, and it was dark. The soldiers couldn't see it clearly, but they could feel the heavy pressure.

It was snowing all over the sky, and before I knew it, the snow got a little heavier.The dark clouds were thin, and a ray of skylight shone brightly, illuminating the earth.After the snow mist, the giant beast rushed out, and what came into view was a neat row of Liang soldiers.

The flag is flying, and the large Chinese characters embroidered on it are very eye-catching.

"Enemy attack!"

The soldiers guarding the city screamed in surprise, and the sound of heavy horns sounded.At that moment, the entire Guoting came to life.

The general of the Liangzhou Army stationed at Guoting looked at the approaching army with a solemn face.

Liang Jun in front has been marching in the snowy night for so long, but there is no trace of chaos. This shows how elite they are.

"General, who are they?"

"Huan Wu's number one general, Zhang Rui!"

Guard General Guoting chewed these words carefully. Even though he spoke very softly, he could not hide the tremor and fear in his words.

"But general, at this time Huanwu wants to attack Shu, and everyone in the world knows. Zhang Rui is not in Guanzhong, why did he come here?"

yes!Why?
The Guoting guard also wanted to know the answer.Liang Jun was not in Guanzhong, so why did he come to Liangzhou now?
However, before the guard of Guoting could think of the answer, Zhang Rui's figure was already three miles in front of the city.He only brought 800 people behind him.

"I am Zhang Rui, General of Zhendong of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Please open the city and surrender as soon as possible to avoid death."

"Zhang Rui, you are Huanwu's lackey, why are you violating our lord's territory?"

How could the Guoting guard open the city gate? Zhang Rui had no intention of letting him actually open the city gate.But he was seen constantly moving towards the city gate, pulling out three short blades at the same time, and when he approached the city gate, he threw them on the city wall.

Zhang Rui stood up, and with his dexterous movement, he stepped on the three short blades and let the arrows rain from all directions as he flew up into the air.

But in an instant, Zhang Rui arrived in front of the guard of Guoting from three miles away, and pointed his spear at the guard of Guoting.

The gun was cold, but the guard of Guoting was slightly stunned.When he woke up, he remembered that Zhang Rui was alone.And this is his territory.

"kill him!"

The Liangzhou defenders rushed forward, but Zhang Rui laughed loudly, waved his spear horizontally, like a full moon, and forced back a handful of Liangzhou defenders.

Zhang Rui's marksmanship was so good that the nearly a thousand defenders on top of the city were unable to stop him.Just when the city was in chaos, the eight hundred soldiers who were following Zhang Rui followed Zhang Rui's method and scaled the city wall.

The situation was out of control, and a large number of Liangzhou sergeants were blocked at the entrance to the city ladder, unable to get up.The city wall had become a dead end. Seeing the situation of the battle falling, Guo Ting guard wanted to retreat first and gather his troops to fight again.However, Zhang Rui was not willing to let go of this big fish.His body jumped in the air, like an agile leopard, and jumped into the circle protected by a large number of guards, only ten steps away from him.

"Stop him!"

The guard of Guoting was really anxious at this moment and wanted to stop Zhang Rui at all costs.It's a pity that the Liangzhou soldiers around him who dared to stop him all became the dead souls of Zhang Rui's gun.

Ten steps away, only a few breaths away.Zhang Rui took one step at a time, with a calm demeanor, as if he was inspecting the king of beasts in his kingdom.

"you"

Huge fear swept through his body, and along with the cold feeling, before General Guo Tingshou could say anything, he saw a big hole in his body, and blood was pouring out at this moment.

Zhang Rui fired his gun very quickly, so fast that the guard of Guoting didn't even see him firing his gun, and his huge body fell down.The light in his eyes faded away, reflecting a cold and bloody world.

"Guo Yu, the guard of Guoting, has been killed by me. The remaining Liangzhou soldiers will not be killed if they surrender!"

Zhang Rui stepped on Guo Yu's body with great power, but this did not dampen the blood of the Liangzhou sergeant.However, the general was dead and the Liangzhou Army was unable to organize effective resistance.

After the city gate was lost, a large number of Liang troops poured into Guoting, and the Liangzhou sergeants could no longer resist.

an hour.

Zhang Rui only led [-] soldiers, but it took only an hour to capture Guoting, an important town on the border of Liangzhou, and opened the passage to Liangzhou for Liang Jun.

"General Zhang, you are taking too many risks. If Guo Yu was not trapped on the city wall, but guarded the city gate, you would have been defeated by now."

The person who walked up the city wall was a general wearing armor. He was not tall and looked a little childish.

"Huan Zishan, why are you always nagging this little old man?"

"You are a general of an army. It is inappropriate for you to take risks yourself. How can you not listen to the advice of your subordinates?"

As a general of Huanwu, Zhang Rui was also friendly with all the outstanding generals among the Huan family's descendants.Among all the descendants of the Huan family, his favorite was Huan Youji, but he was a little impatient with Huan Zishan.

This Huan Zishan is obviously only in his 20s. He chatters all day long, but he looks like an old man in his 60s or [-]s.

It's a pity that this time, Huan Wu asked Huan Youji to follow him, but sent Huan Zishan to follow him.Zhang Rui shook his head, not wanting to tangle with him, and changed the topic.

"The Lord wants us to capture Guoting, and then station troops here to defend Zhu Zi. I see that this city is not easy to defend, so I want to lead the army forward again and set up camp at the break between the two mountains."

Huan Zishan nodded and agreed with Zhang Rui.

"We don't have much time, and we can't be sure whether Zhu Zi will be in danger for Yang Xian, let alone the extent to which Zhu Zi will be in danger for Yang Xian? The Lord wants us to take Guoting to warn Zhu Zi , tell him not to act rashly."

"What a pity! I really hope Zhu Zi can lead his army here. I heard that his army has unparalleled spears, and I have long wanted to meet him for a while."

In the winter of the seventh year of Yonghe, Huan Wu's general Zhang Rui led eight hundred troops and captured Guoting in one battle.Since then, [-] Liang troops have been stationed in Guoting to guard the place and defend the Xiliang cavalry.

After this battle, the world was in great turmoil.
