Chapter 70 The ambassador from the palace

The general was a little hesitant, but he met Li Mengsenhan's gaze and did not dare to say more.

Zhang Xiu was showing off his power in front of the formation, but saw a row of archers suddenly rushing out from Li Meng's army. Without saying a word, he shot a rain of arrows at him.

Zhang Xiu's expression changed, and he didn't bother to scold him. He loosened his legs and slid his body down. He held the horse's reins tightly with his hands. He hid behind the horse. There was a burst of thumping sound in his ears. The war horse made a tragic neigh. The man stood up. Zhang Xiu couldn't hold it and fell off the horse. He turned his head to look, but saw his beloved horse lying in a pool of blood.

He didn't care about his grief, dragged his spear back and turned around and left.

Because of the hasty attack and insufficient preparation, the archers on Li Meng's side did not form an arrow formation to shoot continuously, and there was no time to shoot another round. The soldiers behind Zhang Xiu had already rushed up and protected Zhang Xiu behind him with a shield. Scattered arrows shot over, and no more damage to Zhang Xiu could be caused.

Li Meng could only watch Zhang Xiu retreated outside the gate under the escort of the soldiers.

At the gate, Zhang Ji was shocked and sweated coldly. Although he had known that Li Meng had no lower limit, he did not expect the other party to be so shameless. Seeing Zhang Xiu escape, he breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Li Meng, and roared: "Shameless dog thief, I will kill you!"

Li Meng turned his head and looked at the soldiers behind him. At this moment, he was first killed by Zhang Xiu in front of the formation, and then attacked with bows and arrows regardless of the rules. The most important thing is that he failed to shoot and kill Zhang Xiu, which has caused a sharp drop in morale. On the other hand, in Zhang Jiying, because Zhang Xiu's experience was also indiscriminate attacks before, all the soldiers developed a sense of hatred for the enemy and were in full swing. When they wanted to attack hard, their morale was at a disadvantage first.

I couldn't help but feel secretly regretful. If I had known this, I wouldn't have ordered an indiscriminate attack before.

But now, it was too late to regret. I looked at Zhang Ji, who had already prepared for war. Li Meng knew that it was not a wise move to start the war at this time. He waved his hand with some depression: "Ming Jin, stop the army."

Originally, Li Meng had a great chance to win a good raid, but unfortunately, the details often determine success or failure. He originally thought that everything was at his control and did not care about the life or death of the soldiers who turned against each other, but in the end, he lost the opportunity to destroy Zhang Ji in one fell swoop and seize military power.

Zhang Ji breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhang Xiu was unhappy there. Seeing that the other party wanted to retreat, a gleam flashed in his eyes. He took advantage of the other party's withdrawal and shouted sternly: "My boys, follow me to kill!"

After saying that, without waiting for Zhang Ji to accept it, he led the hundreds of troops and took advantage of the transfer of Li Meng's army and preparing to withdraw his troops, and rushed in.

It was also Li Meng who was unlucky. He had lost his morale before. At this moment, he withdrawn his troops. He never thought that Zhang Ji would dare to attack from behind. Without any arrangements, Zhang Xiu saw the flaw and rushed directly to attack.

In an instant, the originally strict formation was easily disrupted by Zhang Xiu, and then attacked other formations with defeated troops. The three armies were charged by Zhang Xiu once, causing the formation to collapse. Li Meng roared repeatedly, but the morale of the army had dispersed. For a moment, it was actually chaotic by hundreds of people in Zhang Ji.

In fact, if Li Meng was careful, and a soldier broke the rear and the army left first, although Zhang Xiu had good martial arts and courage, he was not able to shake his 20,000 troops. Unfortunately, Li Meng was frustrated in the attack and was unwilling to fight, and he was not prepared at all. The three armies had all begun to retreat. At this time, Zhang Xiu rushed up, which was really unexpected.

On the other side, in the camp, Zhang Ji didn't want to fight again, but at this moment, he saw Zhang Xiu rushing forward like this. He was worried that Zhang Xiu would be in trouble, so he quickly ordered all his troops out of the camp to respond. Thousands of elite soldiers came up, giving Li Meng no chance to breathe.

Zhang Xiu changed into a war horse at this moment. Relying on his superb martial arts, he rushed left and right among the chaotic army with hundreds of troops. Li Meng's army had already lost his morale and had no intention of fighting at all. Some warriors wanted to turn the tide, but the gap with Zhang Xiu was too big, and there was no general wherever he went.

Zhang Ji's troops then came over, and became the last straw that crushed Li Meng's army.

After killing several retreating rioters in succession, Li Meng finally gave up. Seeing Zhang Ji's troops coming, he roared hatefully, turned his head and joined the fleeing army. After all, although he was vicious and treacherous, he was not a qualified general, and he did not have the courage and personal charm to turn the tide.

The defeat was like a mountain. Without Li Meng's constraints, Li Meng's army no longer had any worries and ran wildly. Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew gathered together. Seeing this, even Zhang Ji would never miss the opportunity to beat the dog in the water at this moment. He joined forces with Zhang Xiu and chased Li Meng's defeated army frantically. He fought for more than ten miles until the sky gradually darkened. He stopped chasing, gathered his troops again, began to clear the battlefield, and seized countless weapons and armor.

Zhang Xiu came back excitedly and handed over the order. It was the first time that he had fought so happily in the years he had joined the army. Li Meng was not only shameless, but also useless.

But when he returned to the military camp, he found that Zhang Ji was not as happy as he imagined.

"Uncle, now we have defeated Li Meng. Li Meng doesn't dare to come and find trouble again, why is uncle still worried?" Zhang Xiu looked at Zhang Ji in confusion.

"Oh~" Zhang Ji shook his head and smiled helplessly: "In this way, it will be completely evil to Li Jue and Guo Si. Although he withdrew from Li Meng, they may not be willing to give up."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiu curled his lips indifferently and said, "Uncle, you and I are both Han ministers, and they are not him, Li Jue, Guo Si's slaves, why should we be afraid of him? Now that your Majesty is at the time of employment, why don't we help Your Majesty eliminate thieves? As long as you remove Li Guo, why worry about not being able to glorify your family and be prominent in the family?"

"How is that easy?" Zhang Ji shook his head with a wry smile. Li Jue and Guo Si are powerful. Although his uncle and nephew have some skills, they are weak and have few generals. What is Li Jue and Guo Si's opponent? It's just that at this point, there is no other way except to join Liu Xie's command.

Just as the uncle and nephew were thinking about the future, they saw a trusted general coming in and bowed and said, "General."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Ji raised his head and asked.

"A group of people came from outside the camp, saying that they wanted to see the general, and they also sent this, saying that the major general recognized it." The trusted general handed a package to Zhang Xiu.

"How many people have come?" Zhang Ji saw Zhang Xiu untiing the package, but his brows frowned slightly.

At this moment, he was a little frightened, fearing that someone would come to the camp again. When he heard that someone was coming, he asked quickly.

"There are only a hundred or ten people." The confidant general bowed.

"But I don't know who it is?" Zhang Ji shook his head, breathed a sigh of relief, but heard Zhang Xiu exclaim over there.

"Hurry and invite them in!" Zhang Xiu said excitedly.

"Youwei knows someone?" Zhang Ji turned his head and looked at Zhang Xiu in confusion.

Zhang Xiu handed Zhang Xiu a token taken out of the package and said, "This is the token in Your Majesty's palace, and the person who came was sent by Your Majesty."

"Oh?" Zhang Ji's expression moved when he heard this, turned his head to look at the trusted general and said, "Go and invite them."
