Chapter 282: Guzang City Falls, Chaos Rise in Xiliang

"Bah!" Zhang Meng couldn't help but spit.

"Shameless old thief, how arrogant and rebellious!!"

"It was you who took advantage of the chaos to rebel, yet you turned around and accused me of being a traitor!"

Han Sui smiled and said:

"You kill the court officials first. The evidence is solid."

"How dare you teach me a lesson?"

"Take a good look at these soldiers. All the tribes of Liangzhou are here."

"Are you rebelling alone, or are we the ones who want to rebel?"

"Isn't this obvious?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Meng angrily rebuked:
"You despicable villain! You have no shame! You are the thief crying thief!"

After a round of greetings, he looked at the endless army below.

Zhang Meng also understood that these people were here to seize territory.

No amount of reasoning would make sense at this point.

Cheng Yin also took over the conversation at this time:
"Zhang Shuwei, we all know your current situation."

"I'm afraid there's not even 3,000 people in the city right now?"

"Take my advice and open the door and surrender!"

"Since we are from the same hometown, I will leave your body intact!"

Zhang Meng was also angry when he heard this:
"Don't talk nonsense! The imperial reinforcements will be here soon."

When Cheng Yin heard this, he burst into laughter!

"If you say that, then you should just go and coax a three-year-old child!"

"You killed the governor without authorization, which is treasonous!"

"How could the court send troops to rescue you?"

"Besides, the nearest government troops are still in Hongnong."

"By the time they arrive, Guzang City will have already been conquered by us."

Zhang Meng knew that what he said was true, but he said with an unhappy look:
"Wei Kang, the son of Doctor Wei Duan, and his troops are still in Jicheng!"

"You guys..."

Before he could finish, Han Sui raised his head and laughed:

"Brother Zhang, I advise you not to have such wishful thinking."

"That kid Wei Kang only has a few thousand soldiers."

"Whether he dares to come remains to be seen."

"Even if they come, I will take care of them all!"

Zhang Meng's forehead was already covered with cold sweat after hearing this, but he still insisted on arguing:
"Han Yue! Don't get carried away!"

"Don't forget that you still have a powerful enemy like Ma at your side!"

"Although Ma Teng has gone to the capital, his son Ma Chao is still here!"

"You rashly come to attack Wuwei, aren't you afraid that Ma Chao will cut off your retreat?"

"If he sends troops to rescue, and with the support of the government troops."

"You will die without a burial place!"

This intimidation can be said to have hit the other party's soft spot directly.

But Han Sui sneered when he heard this.

He snatched the torch from the hand of his personal soldier, turned his horse around and made a circle.

He came to the left side of the team and shouted upwards:
"Zhang Meng! Open your dog eyes and see clearly, who is this?"

As he spoke, he raised the torch in his hand towards a general beside him.

Zhang Meng rubbed his eyes and looked at the firelight.

He looked at the person next to Han Sui.

I saw that this man was tall and had a fierce look, a beard, a square face and wide ears.

He was wearing iron armor and a tiger skin around his waist.

A carved quiver was hung on his shoulder, and in his hand he held a long spear that gleamed with cold light.

Everyone in Liangzhou knows about the powerful man. He is Pang De, a fierce general under the Ma family father and son!

"How can this be……"

The moment he saw Pang De, Zhang Meng suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes.

I almost fell off the city wall!

"Haha, do you understand?"

Han Sui threw away the torch, stroked his beard and said triumphantly:
"You are surrounded by enemies on all sides now, how can you expect reinforcements?!"

Zhang Meng was completely desperate after hearing this.

Wei Kang was unable to help, and Ma Chao secretly colluded with Han Sui.

The court’s nearest troops are also in Hongnong.

Not to mention that they don't want to care about his life or death. Even if they want to care, it's too late. He is really desperate now.

Isolated and helpless!
Han Sui was obviously a little impatient at this time!
"Zhang Shuwei, I'll give you half an hour to consider opening the door and surrendering!"

"If you dare to resist again, I will order a violent attack!"

"When the city is destroyed and everyone dies, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless!"

Zhang Meng stood up slowly and silently without looking downstairs again.

Then he staggered back into the attic.

The two guards who were guarding the pavilion saw this.

He followed with an anxious look and asked:
"Sir, what should we do now?"

Zhang Meng just shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this.

"Now there is no way to save the situation, what else can we do..."

"You guys go out first, let me take a rest."

Upon hearing this, the two bodyguards had no choice but to retreat.

Zhang Meng was the only one left, slumped at the table as if he had lost his soul.

Regardless of whether the city gates were opened or not, he would be charged with the crime of "treason".

He is inevitably going to die today, but he still wants to write a memorial before he dies.

Admit your mistakes to the court and expose Han Sui as the real traitor!
But when I picked up the pen, I couldn't write a single word.

Looking up, I saw the city wall that was about to be breached.

My mind was suddenly filled with a thousand thoughts.

My father Zhang Huan had made outstanding military achievements.

Thus he became a nobleman in Guanzhong.

This changed the situation of the family being born in Xiliang and being inferior to others.

Coincidentally, Zhang Meng was born when his father Zhang Huan was the prefect of Wuwei.

I heard that it was because of the war with the Qiang people.

His father defended against the enemy on the Guzang city wall every day.

And his mother gave birth to him on this city wall.

It seems that everything is destined.

Born here, will I die here?
Zhang Meng couldn't help but get angry when he thought of this!
He swept all the documents on the table to the ground.

At this time, the silk book fell into the charcoal basin next to it and ignited a flame.

Zhang Meng looked at the fire in front of him and his eyes suddenly became vague.

Then he suddenly stood up, kicked over the brazier, and set the bamboo slips on the ground on fire.

As a result, the surrounding curtains and desks were all on fire.

The attic was instantly engulfed in flames!
When the bodyguards saw the fire rising inside, they immediately rushed in.

"My lord, what happened?!"

But Zhang Meng slowly turned his head and said in a gloomy voice:
"If I fall into Han Sui's hands, I will be beheaded and sent to Xudu."

"Death would be fine if my father knew about it."

"How can I face him?"

"That's all! Life is mortal, and if you die in the right place, why should you regret it?"

"I, Zhang, take full responsibility for this incident today!"

"Tell that Han guy for me. He won't be able to be so proud for long."

"Then Cao Cao will never let him go easily!"

"I'll wait for him on the road to the underworld!"

After saying this, he opened his arms calmly.

Throwing into the blazing fire...

The city tower caught fire and the commander burned himself to death.

Without their commander, the defenders had no choice but to open the city and surrender.

And at the moment when the city gate rumbled open.

Without waiting for Han Sui's order, troops from all directions rushed in!

The defenders surrendered without a fight, which was exactly what they wanted!
At this time, people were burning, killing and looting as if they were in an empty place.

They are really just like robbers and bandits.

Even the defenders’ supplies and food could not be preserved.

Not to mention the innocent civilians.

All the money and food in the city were looted.

No one even cared about the fire behind them.

Let the Wuwei government seat be burned to ashes.
