Ju Su's desire to show off was also very strong, and he bowed his hand to Zhang Xiu and said, "Among Ming Gong and Ma Teng's generals, Guo Si of Lieliu City, is like an isolated island."

"Guo Si has 10,000 elite soldiers, and Lieliu City is also strong. But if we lead most of our troops to surround Lieliu City, Guo Si will definitely be frightened and ask Ma Teng for help. Ma Teng will definitely lead the elite soldiers to rescue Lieliu City. At that time, there may be opportunities."

Zhang Xiu nodded slightly. How could the soldiers and horses not move, so how could they find weaknesses?

The meaning of life lies in movement.

"Okay. Li Li, you will lead the troops of the Qiang lieutenant to defend Linwei City. The rest of the troops will follow me to the north to Liliu City tomorrow. Send people to Shangqi City and order Zhao Yun to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to join me."

Zhang Xiu issued an order.

"promise."

Everyone agreed, full of energy.

After everyone left, Zhang Xiu's only son sat in the hall and thought for a while, but thought of a clever plan and couldn't help but smile.

"Why did you forget this plan?"

Immediately, Zhang Xiu, who was in a very happy mood, hurried down to the back house and rested. This marching journey was thousands of miles long, but he had not slept peacefully for a long time.

Early the next morning.

Zhang Xiu still acted as a vanguard, sent nearly 100,000 troops, and headed north to Lieliu City. The army stopped outside Shangji City for a day.

After joining General Zhao Yun's five thousand elite troops, the army continued to go to Lieliu City.

.........

Lieliu City.

This city with special significance in history was built as solid as a god-like mansion by Guo Si. The city is not only tall and sturdy, but also a moat has been dug outside the city.

There were 10,000 elite soldiers in the city, and there were a lot of food, arrows and other military supplies supported by Ma Teng.

But even so, Guo Si in the city still tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night, like a ray of light on his back. Anyway, one word, "the mind is tense".

In the past, he and Li Jue were both Dong Zhuo's generals. Later, because Zhang Ji died in Shangqiu City, he became accused of having sex with Zhang Xiu.

The past is vivid in my mind. I never thought that the child in his eyes in the past not only killed Li Jue in Shangji City, but also now he is the Grand Sima, General, and General.

Now he has led an army of 100,000 to compete for Liangzhou.

Guo Si couldn't help but tremble when he thought of Li Jue's fate. He also felt regretful. If he had known that he would have saved Zhang Ji when he was in the city of Jue.

Otherwise, how could he end up today?

In a room in the General's Mansion in the city. Although the sky is blue and white, Guo Si has thick dark circles and his eyes are full of blood.

There was a table of wine and food on the table in front of him, and Guo Si was drinking glasses of wine, his face full of fear.

His appearance was like a blade had been placed around his neck, and he was still breathing a sigh of relief.

But this is normal.

How can Guo Si not be afraid? How can he not be afraid?

"General. The spy came to report that Zhang Xiu's vanguard Yan Xing was only about ten miles away from Lieliu City." Suddenly, a personal soldier hurried in and lowered his head to report the report.

Guo Si shook his right hand and a little wine spilled in the wine glass in his hand. But Guo Si was still a qualified general. After breathing out, he showed a calm look and laughed: "Yan Xing, just a young general in Jincheng. Zhang Xiu used Yan Xing as the vanguard, and there was no one under his command. People came and ordered the soldiers to be on guard and guard the city. After repelling Zhang Xiu, everyone would be rewarded."

"No." The personal soldiers also showed excitement when they heard this, and responded with a loud bang and turned around.

After the personal soldier left, Guo Si showed a little fear and drank the wine in his hand. After brewing for a long time and taking a deep breath for a long time, Guo Si calmed down the fear in his heart, stood up and walked to the door, and said to a personal soldier: "Send someone to ask for help from Marshal Ma immediately."

"No." The personal soldiers agreed and went down immediately.

This is not the first wave of people asking for help. Guo Si has sent five waves of people to ask for help.

Not long after, the news came. Yan Xing had already led 5,000 elite soldiers to the city. Guo Si was also dressed neatly, holding a large gun, turning over the horse, and leading dozens of personal soldiers to the south of the city.

When Guo Si was standing at the top of the city, he saw Yan Xing rushing his spear and challenging under the city.

"Listen to Guo Si. I heard for a long time that you are a long-time general in Liangzhou and have a strong martial arts skills. I, Yan Xing, invite you to fight today. Do you dare to come down and fight?"

Yan Xing, who was under the city, had an outstanding heroic spirit, raised his spear toward the city, and his voice was majestic. A horse-riding soldier held a flag with a "Yan" behind him, and the flags were rushing, which made him even more morale.

When Guo Si's soldiers on the city heard this, they turned their heads and looked at Guo Si expectantly. Liangzhou people admired the strong, and the soldiers wanted to see Guo Si kill all directions.

But they were soon disappointed.

Guo Si laughed loudly and said, "Listen to me, Yan Xing. I have a city and occupy a geographical advantage. How could I abandon the geographical advantage and go out to fight with you?"

"You'd better take a break."

Yan Xing, who was under the city, curled his lips, just an excuse, and could not cover up his harsh and weak appearance. However, he also knew that Guo Si would not come down to fight the generals. So he stopped and rode his horse back to the formation, staring at the army in the city.

Not long after, the subsequent army arrived one after another and began to build a camp.

Yan Xing still led his troops to take action as a warning until Zhang Xiu and Dian Wei led more than a hundred light cavalry and rode out.

"Ming Gong." Yan Xing bowed to Zhang Xiu.

"In the military, General Yan can be more casual." Zhang Xiu smiled and said to Yan Xing, then came to the city with Dian Wei.

At a safe place, Zhang Xiu raised his head and shouted to the city: "Is Guo Si here?"

Of course Guo Si was still there. Hearing Zhang Xiu's voice, Guo Si immediately shuddered and subconsciously felt fear.

But Wan Jun could not show his fear. Guo Si said, "I'm here."

"Guo Si. We are enemies. I will never let you go. Now my 100,000 army is behind me. It only takes a wave of my hand to defeat Lie Liu. At that time, all the relatives of the clan in your city will be destroyed by me. If you open the city and surrender now, I can only kill you and let your clan go."

Zhang Xiu showed a serious look and shouted.

Guo Si's face looked ugly when he heard this. I will die if I surrender or not? Then what else can I say?

Guo Si took a deep breath and laughed loudly, "Zhang Xiu. You are so arrogant. I am strong in Liucheng. There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the city. There are 100,000 reinforcements from Ma Dashi outside. Not to mention that you wave your sleeves, even if you attack for a year, you will not be able to defeat it."

It was useless to say more, Zhang Xiu shook his head slightly, and rode his horse back to the camp with Dian Wei and others. Soon after, the construction of the camp was completed.

The camp of nearly 100,000 people stretched for more than ten miles, with flags everywhere, and camps connected by themselves and murderous intent.

However, Zhang Xiu did not attack Lieliu City.

This time, the fight with Ma Teng and Han Sui was just a show, in order to paralyze Liu Yan. There is no need to use a knife and a gun.

No matter how incompetent Guo Si is, he is still a general in Xiliang. If you want to fight the following Liucheng in a normal battle, it will cost a lot of money, and it will not be worth the loss.

By noon the next day, Zhang Xiu had obtained more than 100,000 elite soldiers from Ma Teng and Han Sui, and had already approached Lieliu City.

In the central army's tent, Zhang Xiu raised his head and said to Dian Wei who came in to report, "Brother, summon all the civil and military generals and come to the tent."

"No." Dian Wei Yingnuo said, turned around and left. Zhang Xiu lowered his head and looked at a letter on the table, then changed it for a while, then blew the ink marks dry, stuffed them into an envelope, and hid them in his arms.

Zhang Xiu not only invented paper and printing, but also invented the envelope. Now in Luoyang City, writing credit envelopes are very popular.

Not long after, all the civil and military ministers came in.

Zhang Xiu looked around at everyone and ordered calmly: "Pang De, you lead 20,000 elite soldiers here to confront Guo Si. The rest of the troops will set up camp and open a village tomorrow morning. Follow me to the west to confront Ma Teng, Han Sui."

"promise."

The civil and military officials agreed and turned around.

With Zhang Xiu's order, the entire camp began to take action, and the next morning, the army surrounded Zhang Xiu and headed west.

Ma Teng and Han Sui's more than 100,000 coalition forces also marched eastward. The army of both sides unexpectedly met in a place called Hushan.

The so-called Hushan is a low slope with open terrain in the southeast, southwest and northwest. The armies of both sides confront each other in the north of Hushan.

Zhang Xiu's army established a village in the east, and Ma Teng and Han Sui's coalition forces established a village in the west, and the two sides were clearly divided.

The sun sets west, and it is half past the afternoon. Above the gate of the military camp, Zhang Xiu stood under the clamoring "Zhang" flag, with generals on the left and right.

He looked up and watched Ma Teng. After Han Sui's army formation, he nodded and said, "Although Ma Teng and Han Sui fought with me, more defeats and fewer defeats. But they have not yet made progress. Judging from their military camp arrangements and soldiers' military disciplines, it is obviously much better than a few years ago. Now the world is chaotic, and the most elite and most capable of fighting among the heroes is Ma Teng and Han Sui. Fighting head-on with them is not the best strategy."

Everyone around nodded. There is no doubt that Zhang Xiu is the best in the world, Ma Teng and Han Sui are the second.

At the same time, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Ma Chao, Yang Fu and others also stood above the camp gate to watch Zhang Xiu's camp.

Both sides are heroes and have similar views.

Ma Teng looked up at Zhang Xiu's camp, arranged neatly, and the soldiers were very morale. He couldn't help but sigh: "Although our Liangzhou soldiers are elite, they are still a little worse than Zhang Xiu. Although we have a large number of people, we cannot take it lightly, otherwise the major events will be over."

Yang Fu, Han Sui, Ma Chao and others nodded together.

Then Ma Chao bowed and said, "Father, I want to challenge Zhang Xiu."

His face was full of excitement.

It's like a young master who is a fledgling martial arts novel, wandering around the world and challenging the world's number one person.

Lu Bu is dead, who dares not give a thumbs up and call Zhang Xiu "the best in the world"?

Young people move forward bravely, only know fame and fortune, but not fear.

Killing Zhang Xiu will surely be famous all over the world, distinguished with great achievements, and a beautiful country can be obtained at your fingertips.
