The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 271
After Zhang Xiu's envoy was kicked out by Dongfang Sheng, there was no news of soldiers and horses invading the border of Yizhou within two months, which secretly relieved those in Yizhou who thought that Zhang Ji was going to lead troops to suppress the border.

But soon Dongfang Sheng received a secret report about Liu Bei.

There is only one sentence in the secret report: Liu Bei traps and kills Yang Feng!

Liu Bei used a very old-fashioned method, Hongmen Banquet.He lured Yang Feng and himself to meet for a banquet, and killed Yang Feng at the banquet.

And this incident was not a big deal at all. During the Three Kingdoms period, people died almost every day, and many people were not obscure and mediocre people. Yang Feng was not an unknown person. He was recorded in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms. Because he is Li Jue's big horse boy.

Of course, even if Yang Feng is Li Jue's big horse boy, Dongfang Sheng will not spend time staring at him. The real reason why Dongfang Sheng is staring at him is because Yang Feng and Zhang Ji formed an alliance after Li Jue died. Guo Si resisted.

When there was a shortage of food, one of his powerful allies was trapped and killed by Liu Bei, so what will happen next?
Dongfang Sheng immediately ordered Zhao Yun, Zhang Xi, and Wang Hu to lead troops to guard the border between Jingzhou and Sili.

If a friend comes from afar, I will definitely say hello!Dongfang Sheng threw the secret report in his hand into the brazier, and his face was flickered by the flames.

At this time, Chang'an City was already in chaos, because Liu Xie, the emperor in name, was no longer here.

The war between Guo Si and Zhang Ji repeated the historical situation of the emperor going out of Chang'an. The reason why Yang Feng was killed by Liu Bei was because he was defeated by Cao Cao after escorting Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

Because of the appearance of Dongfang Sheng, the emperor's departure from Chang'an happened in advance. At this moment, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had been escorted to Xu County by Cao Cao.

Although Dongfang Sheng arranged for Shi Qian to be with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, the news of the chaos could not be sent to Yizhou in time.

But the battle between Guo Si and Zhang Ji was a lose-lose situation. Guo Si hid in Chang'an and dared not come out again, while Zhang Ji led his troops to Yizhou. His army was about to cause a mutiny because of lack of food.

Originally, Zhang Ji went to Jingzhou and was killed by Liu Biao, but because he had sent Zhang Xiu to ask Dongfang Sheng for food but failed, so he changed his mind and wanted to come to Yizhou to fight the autumn wind.

At this time, a troop of cavalry was galloping towards the border of Yinping Road. Yinping Road is one of the three roads under the jurisdiction of Guanghan Kingdom, located in Wen County, Gansu Province today.

The terrain in Yinping Road is flat, which is a good place for galloping horses.

The two cavalry led by this team, one with gray hair and a haggard expression, looked a bit embarrassed, while the other was full of vigor and heroic, forming a sharp contrast between the two.

These two people are Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu, two uncles and nephews who escaped from Chang'an, and they have entered Yinping Road in Yizhou.

"Uncle, let's find a place to rest for a while." Zhang Xiu's face was dark because he was exposed to the sun for a long time. He was promoted to General Jianzhong by virtue of his military achievements, so he is also a figure that should not be underestimated.

Zhang Ji's eyes were unfocused for a while, because of the lack of food, the daily diet was strictly controlled, and the few days of running around and lack of enough calories had already made the elderly Zhang Ji overwhelmed.

"Ah, oh, okay, you can make some arrangements." Zhang Ji was taken aback for a moment before he came back to his senses.

Seeing Zhang Ji's appearance, a trace of worry flashed in Zhang Xiu's eyes.

In the absence of food, if there is another accident with the general, I am afraid that this army will collapse on its own without the need for others to attack.

At this time, Zhang Xiu didn't have Jia Xu to advise him, and he couldn't think of any good way to stop the morale of the army.

When he gave the order to rest, most of the soldiers behind him sat on their horses dumbly and did not respond. The fleeing and lack of food in the past few days also made the originally energetic soldiers a little weak.

Of course, this is also related to their current situation, because Chang'an was defeated, the soldiers could not see the future, and there was a trace of despair in their hearts.

Zhang Xiu's choice of resting place is very particular. It is a place where you can attack, retreat and defend, with your back against the hills. However, this kind of place also has a disadvantage. Once surrounded by the opponent's heavy troops, it may be directly wiped out by the opponent. But at this time, Zhang Xiu couldn't care less about these things.

Besides, Zhang Xiu didn't think he would encounter any soldiers in such a desolate place as Yinping Road.

After arranging the soldiers on guard outside, Zhang Xiu went into Zhang Ji's military tent to discuss the next move.

In the distance, a group of people in khaki clothes lay quietly on the ground, and one of them was holding an arm-length thing as thick as a bamboo pole to watch Zhang Ji's trilogy set up camp.

"Zhang Ji actually took this road, hehe, it's really emotional to meet old friends, but seeing how listless his soldiers are, I guess his life is not very good." The speaker was holding a strange shape. The person who scouted Zhang Ji.

"When is my lord going to do it?" It was a dark-skinned guy who spoke, and this guy's complexion was as good as Zhang Xiu's.

"Now!"

These two people are Dongfang Sheng and Zhang He. This time Zhao Yun is stationed in Wudu County, and Zhang He is in charge of Yinping Road. The two of them are guarding Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses from rushing in, while Wang Hu and Badao are leading Feiying The men and horses of the battalion were stationed in Brazil County, in order to guard Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

Dongfang Sheng brought a team of troops to inspect the three places. It happened that when he visited Yinping Road, he and Zhang Xi discovered Zhang Ji's troops.

This cannot but be said to be a coincidence, but sometimes history is made up of countless coincidences.

Long!Long!
The ground trembled a little, and a layer of yellow smoke and dust suddenly rose from the sandy land. Zhang Ji Buqu, who was in charge of the peripheral security, immediately became discouraged when he saw the spirit of the team.

The drums of war have already sounded, but it is a pity that they are weak.

Zhang Xiu had already put on armor to go into battle. Because he ran away before, he didn't wear a large armor but a cowhide armor. This thing is not very useful when the two armies are confronting each other.

"Old Zhang, arrange it. I will be a soldier by your side today, so you don't need to worry about me!" Dongfang Sheng said after Zhang Yun.

"Here!" Zhang He replied excitedly.

Dongfang Sheng naturally knew that he could not steal the limelight from his subordinates. This is definitely not something a good boss should do.

"Xingba, follow Lao Zhang and study hard." Dongfang Sheng said to Gan Ning beside him.

Zhang He's soldiers had already skillfully divided into three groups, outflanking them from the left, middle and right, while there was still a group staying behind.

Because Zhang Xiu and the others just stopped to rest, the entrance of the camp didn't even have basic shelters such as antlers and moats.

Once Zhang He's cavalry rushed in, Zhang Ji's demoralized soldiers would be defeated directly.

It's just that Zhang Ji and the others will really be defeated as soon as they meet like this?
