Zhang Jaw, who was in the camp on the south bank, realized that something was wrong. He immediately led his cavalry across the river and encountered Zhang Lang's cavalry. The two sides immediately started a fierce battle. As soon as they engaged in the battle, Zhang Jaw felt that it was difficult to support him, so he quickly led his troops back.

South Bank.

Seeing Zhang Lang leading the cavalry in pursuit, he ordered the bridge to be set on fire before his own troops could completely escape across the river.

Zhang Lang chased to the shore with more than ten thousand cavalry, only to see that the Weihe River Bridge had been completely submerged in flames. He glanced at Yuan Shaojun opposite and couldn't help but feel extremely regretful.

Yuan Shao came to the tent wearing pajamas and asked anxiously: "What happened?"

Opening his jaw and clasping his fists, he said: "Lü Bu's army suddenly appeared and wiped out the camp on the north bank!..."

Yuan Shao was shocked, "Quick! Call the entire army to camp!"

"My lord, there is no need to panic! The general has burned down the Weihe River Bridge and Lu Bu cannot cross!"

Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Zhang Jia with a look of relief: "You did a good job!" He turned around and glared at Xu You, who had been standing silently beside him, and said angrily: "It was all your random suggestions that led to the destruction of our North Bank camp.

Lost!" Xu You was speechless.

Jushou frowned and said, "Lü Bu came faster than expected! Fortunately, General Zhang Jaw burned down the Weihe River Bridge in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"

Yuan Shao had already decided to retreat, "Lü Bu has sent troops to the north bank of the Wei River, and our army is attacked from both sides! I intend to retreat to Hangu Pass, and then attack Guanzhong!"

"No!" Ju Shou clasped his fist towards Yuan Shao, "My lord, although Lu Bu's army has arrived at the north bank of the Wei River, it is difficult for them to cross the river for the time being. Our army should divide our troops to guard key points on the Wei River, and at the same time rush to attack Chang'an! Ma Teng is now at the end of his powerful crossbow.

, Ma Teng will definitely be defeated in less than ten days! As long as Chang'an is captured, Lu Bu will have nothing to fear!"

Xu You sneered and said, "Aren't you putting my lord in danger? What if Chang'an cannot be captured within ten days and Lu Bu crosses the Wei River?"

Jushou frowned and said: "This possibility is very small! Our army has a great chance of winning!" He clasped his fist towards Yuan Shao and said, "My lord, in any battle, is there any reason not to take risks? It only depends on the size of the risk and the size of the benefit! Please also ask, lord.

Fair decision!"

Yuan Shao hesitated, with a look of determination on his face, "What Ju Shou said is absolutely true! Open your jaw, lead your troops to guard the Weihe River, and you must not make any mistakes!" "Promise!"

Yuan Shao glanced at the others and said, "The rest of the troops will attack from all sides starting tomorrow!"

Early the next morning, Ma Teng, who was still overjoyed at the arrival of Lu Bu's army, suddenly discovered that not only did Yuan Shao's army not retreat as expected, but its offensive became even more ferocious! Hundreds of thousands of troops took turns to attack, and Yuan Shao attacked fiercely.

The army was going crazy! From morning to night, from night to night, day and night!

After only five days, Ma Teng felt that he could no longer hold on and sent someone to ask Lu Bu for help.

On the north bank of the Weihe River, Lu Bu's tent.

Zhang Lang said angrily: "Yuan Shao's reaction is really beyond my expectation! Not only did he not retreat, but he stepped up his attack! Ma Teng was almost unable to withstand it!"

Jia Xu twirled his beard and said: "Although Yuan Shao is stupid, he still has some wise men under him! The person who gave Yuan Shao advice should be Ju Shou! Although Yuan Shao has many counselors under his command, only Ju Shou and Tian Feng can be called a national scholar.

Just two people!"

Zhang Lang nodded and frowned: "It will be very troublesome if this continues! If they defeat Ma Teng and capture Chang'an before we cross the river, our army may have no choice but to retreat!"

Jia Xu smiled confidently and said: "General, don't worry! Yuan Shao will give up the attack within two days! Chang'an is a gift from God to the general!"

Zhang Lang was doubly surprised, and when he asked more questions, Jia Xu became mysterious.

Yuan Shao's offensive became more and more intense, and Ma Teng's situation became more and more unfavorable. Zhang Lang estimated that Ma Teng could hold on for three days at most, and ordered his people to collect and rush to make rafts for crossing the river. However, there would be at least enough rafts.

It took four days to prepare. I approached Jia Xu to ask about countermeasures, but he smiled and said nothing.

One day later, news suddenly came that Gongsun Zan had mobilized all his troops to suddenly launch an all-out attack on Jizhou!

Zhang Lang was overjoyed when he received the news. He finally understood why Jia Xu was so confident, because he had long expected that Gongsun Zan would take advantage of Yuan Shao's military campaign in Guanzhong to invade Jizhou in a large scale.

Yuan Shao was furious in the tent, "Gongsun Zan is really disgusting! I have to kill him!" He glanced at everyone and said, "Send an order to all the troops to break camp overnight and rush to help Jizhou!"

Ju Shou was shocked, "My lord, although Gongsun Zan has invaded in a large scale, with the strength of our army left in Jizhou, it is impossible for him to attack Jizhou in a short time! Now we can go to Chang'an, so we can't give up halfway!"

Xu You said: "Jizhou is the fundamental base of our army, how can we take risks! It is better to send troops to rescue quickly!"

Yuan Shaoshen thought so, and Ju Shou tried hard to persuade him, but Yuan Shao refused to listen and insisted on returning to the army. Ju Shou sighed helplessly.

In the middle of the night, Jia Xu hurriedly found Zhang Lang who was sleeping soundly and said, "General, wake up!"

Zhang Lang woke up from his sleep and saw that it was Jia Xu. He quickly jumped down from the couch and asked urgently: "What happened?" Jia Xu cupped his fists and said, "I just reported carefully that Yuan Shao has led his army back east.

Got it!"

Zhang Lang was overjoyed, "Great! Chang'an will be ours in three days!"

"General, you don't have to wait three days, you can capture Chang'an tonight!"

Seeing Yuan Shao retreat, Ma Teng breathed a sigh of relief, lay down on the city gate tower and fell asleep. All the soldiers in the army were also exhausted and staggered into sleep.

Kill! The sudden shout of kill violently broke the silent night in Chang'an City.

Ma Teng woke up from his sleep, ran out of the city gate tower, and exclaimed: "Is Yuan Shao back again?" An officer stumbled to Ma Teng, knelt down with a plop, and said in horror: "Lü Bu, Lu Bu

The killing process is in progress! Our army has been scattered!"

Ma Teng was shocked and said, "What?!" At this time, the sound of horse hoofbeats suddenly started in the city. Ma Teng quickly looked into the city and saw Zhang Lang leading many cavalrymen running quickly along the galloping road beside the city wall. He immediately became furious and shouted

Said: "Lu Bu, you and I are at odds with each other!"

The general rushed over and urged in a hurry: "Sir, leave quickly! Otherwise it will be too late!" He then helped the horse to get off the city wall, climbed on the war horse, and fled towards the south gate.

Ma Teng's army was defeated like a mountain. In the end, only less than ten thousand horses followed Ma Teng to escape Chang'an! After escaping from Chang'an, Ma Teng went all the way west and stopped at Tianshui, Liangzhou. He was followed by the army led by Ma Chao, and he was shocked.

, scolding Zhang Lang for his betrayal!

After Zhang Lang occupied Chang'an, he enforced strict military discipline to appease the people, and the people's hearts returned.
Chapter completed!
