Chapter 58
In 195 A.D., Zhang Lan, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, led an army of 15 in person. More than ten generals under his command, including Ma Chao, Pang De, Zhao Yun, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Dianwei, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Xiu, and Lei Tong, marched with the army. Guo Jia, Xu Shu, and Jia Xu were powerful military advisers, and they camped a hundred miles outside Shangdang City.

At that time, Yuan Shao was appointed as the governor of Jizhou by the emperor's edict, commanded [-] troops, and sent troops to Leping.

Ding Yuan, governor of Bingzhou, was attacked on both sides, and the situation was in jeopardy.

"My lord, are you still thinking about Princess Xi?" Guo Jia came to Zhang Lan and asked Zhang Lan looking up at the moon.

Zhang Lan turned her head, saw Guo Jia's arrival, looked away, and turned to pay.

"Chenxi is already full moon now. Chenxi has already grown up when he sent troops back this time. I'm afraid he won't recognize my father anymore." Zhang Lan felt a little emotional, "Feng Xiao, what's the point of coming to see me so late?"

Guo Jia smiled slightly and did not continue the topic about Princess Xi, "My lord, the spies are here to report, Yuan Shao has sent troops to Leping."

"Okay," Zhang Lan said in a low voice, "This time, the old thief Ding Yuan must die without a place to bury him. Please pass on our military order, let everyone rest well tonight, and march into Shangdang tomorrow."

The next day, Zhang Lan led an army to the foot of Shangdang City, looked at the city wall not far away, and asked left and right, "Who would like to go?"

Everyone asked to fight, Zhang Lan laughed and said, "The morale of the generals is so high, this battle must be won, Li Jue"

"the end will be"

"I have 1 horses with you, go to call the battle, Zhang Xiu, Ma Chao, Pound"

"the end will be"

"The three of you go with General Li Jue. If the enemy is willing to fight for generals, you three can fight. If Zhang Yang can be captured, it will be his first achievement."

"The last general took the order" four people took the order and left
When the four generals marched to the city, Li Jue directly shouted, "Little Zhang Yang, do you dare to fight?"

There was no movement above the city, but the air became heavy.

Seeing this situation, Li Jue ordered directly, and [-] soldiers shouted loudly, "Little Zhang Yang, come and die!"

Not long after, Zhang Yang led the army out of the city, and put on a posture "Zhang Yang is here, who will die"

Li Jue couldn't help thinking, "Sure enough, I want to fight the general"

Before Li Jue could make a sound, Zhang Xiu slapped his horse and rushed forward, "I'll meet you"

Zhang Yang also flattered his horse to meet him, and the two horses staggered, and the atmosphere became hotter.

Zhang Yang is worthy of being Ding Yuan's general. Since he won't be defeated in the battle with Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu's marksmanship was passed down by Tong Yuan, and it is extremely exquisite. With a wave, he swung away Zhang Xiu's attack, and slashed towards Zhang Xiu's head.

After fighting for more than 100 rounds, traces of sweat had already appeared on Zhang Yang's forehead, but Zhang Xiu was getting braver as he fought. In such a situation, Zhang Yang naturally didn't dare to fight any more, and was about to retreat with a bluff.

Naturally, Li Jue would not let this opportunity pass by. Thinking of the sound of the drum beating, the army rushed straight to Shangdang. Zhang Yang escaped fairly quickly, and quickly fled into the city. Only a hundred or so people had no time to escape and were locked up Outside the city, crying and shouting suddenly sounded from among the hundred people.

At this time, Li Jue's army had reached the gate of the city, and the top of the city ignored the remaining hundred or so people, and hurriedly bent their bows and shot arrows to block Li Jue's attack.

This time the task was to call for battle, and he didn't bring any siege equipment. Seeing that the city gate was closed and arrows were raining down on the city, Li Jue ordered the withdrawal immediately without thinking about it.

Zhang Lan and others in the distance also saw such a scene. Jia Xu suddenly had a plan in his heart, and came to Zhang Lan, whispering in his ear, "My lord, now that Yuan Shao has left Leping, and Shangdang has no reinforcements here, even if there are , and not too many, it is better to besiege here, and then send people to sneak into the city to spread the news, the best strategy is to attack the heart."

Zhang Lan nodded, and said to the crowd, "Guo Si, Cao Hong, you two lead your soldiers to the north gate, just surround but not attack, and wait for the military order."

"The Last General Takes Order"

"Gao Shun and Cao Ren ordered you two to lead the soldiers to go to the west gate, to encircle but not attack, and wait for the military order."

"The Last General Takes Order"

"Ma Teng, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun ordered the three of you to lead your subordinates to the east gate, to encircle but not attack, and wait for military orders."

"The Last General Takes Order"

"The rest of the generals will besiege the south gate with me"

"The Last General Takes Order"

A series of military orders were issued, and all the generals also took action one after another, and surrounded Nuoda's Shangdang tightly.

That night, Zhang Lan ordered Langya to disguise themselves and sneak into the city quietly, spreading the news that Leping had been captured by Yuan Shao and Ding Yuan was trapped in Taiyuan.

For several days in a row, the news had spread, and the soldiers on the top of the city could obviously feel uneasy.

After Zhang Yang heard the news, he immediately sent people forward to arrest the person who spread the rumors, but he couldn't find the Langya people anywhere.

Rumors in Shangdang City had already become popular, no matter how much Zhang Yang suppressed it, it would be useless, and some people in the army had already begun to consider the way forward, among which Zhang Yang's general Li Yi was a typical example.

Li Yi and Shu De are cunning and scheming, they value wealth over righteousness, but they are also outstanding in ability, so they are entrusted with important tasks by Zhang Yang.

At this time, Li Yi saw that there was nothing he could do, and Zhang Yang was determined to help Ding Yuan plan to fight Zhang Lan to the end. Greedy for life and afraid of death, he felt rebellious and called his confidantes, intending to tie him up while Zhang Yang was not tied up. Surrender to Zhang Lan.

After discussing with their confidantes, everyone felt that it was feasible, so they sent one of them to quietly sneak out of the city, to Zhang Lan's camp, and was found by soldiers and taken to Zhang Lan's tent.

"Who are you?"

The man looked at Zhang Lan timidly and said, "Little Song Guo, the confidant of General Li Yi under Zhang Yang's command, came to surrender to Prime Minister Zhang under the order of General Li Yi."

At this time, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others in the account were already here. Zhang Lan glanced at a few people, and everyone cast a believable look before saying, "Since you have surrendered, you can send the head of Zhang Yangxiang to the prime minister." I will reward you all"

The man named Song Guo was overjoyed when he heard the words, "It's natural, it's natural. My general originally planned to use Zhang Yang's head as a gift to the prime minister, but he sent me here because he was afraid that the prime minister would not tolerate it. If the prime minister agreed, I will go back." Tell my general, the prime minister is waiting here."

Zhang Lan waved her hand and signaled the soldiers to loosen Song Guo's ties, "Go get ten taels of gold and give it to this general."

"Prime Minister, I can't accept this," Song Guo said hastily, but his glowing eyes had already betrayed him.

"This is what you deserve"

After a while, the soldiers arrived at the big tent with twelve taels of golden gold. Zhang Lan signaled to Song Guo. After Song Guo kowtowed to thank him, he returned to the city and told Li Yi. When he arrived at Zhang Yang's place, he pretended to see the guards and beheaded them without giving him a chance to make a sound. He walked lightly to Zhang Yang's bed, chopped off Zhang Yang's head and body in two.
