The west wind was bleak, just like Zhang Xiu's heart, it was cold.
A strange scene occurred. Without Zhang Xiu's order, the Northern Spearmen under his command did not dare to attack.
Meanwhile, the cavalry under Zhao Yun's command also maintained their original formation.
"Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!"
The Cao Army arrived from the rear.
Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and the other generals saw Zhang Xiu's army lying in ambush on the mountain path.
Seeing that Zhao Yun was confronting Zhang Xiu, the few of them hurriedly went up to help.
"Generals, please wait a moment.”
At this moment, Tong Fei, who was sitting on Vanishing Shadow Horse with Cao Cao, spoke.
"Military Advisor, what's wrong? The ambush in front of them seemed to be about to start a fight with Zilong!”
Xiahou Dun and the others looked at Tong Fei in confusion.
"Hahaha, generals, please calm down.”
Tong Fei gestured for Cao Cao to hurry up. He had something to say to the Xi Liang army general.
Cao Cao looked doubtfully at Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun, who were facing off with their guns, and nodded thoughtfully.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves behind her, Zhao Yun heaved a long sigh of relief.
Then, he smiled and said to Zhang Xiu,
"Eldest Senior Brother, look who's here.”
Zhang Xiu turned his head with difficulty.
As expected…the scene that he was most afraid of had appeared!
Tong Fei and Cao Cao sat on the Vanishing Shadow Horse and slowly walked towards him.
"Eldest Senior Brother, how have you been?"
On Shadowless Horse, Tong Fei greeted Zhang Xiu with a smile.
"Don't…I hope you've been well."
Zhang Xiu was on the verge of tears.
How do you think we should fight this battle now?
If anything happened to Zhao Yun and Tong Fei, his master would definitely come down the mountain to kill him.
Furthermore, Zhang Xiu, Zhao Yun, and Tong Fei had a very good personal relationship. No matter what, it was impossible for them to fight under such circumstances.
Cao Cao heard the conversation between Tong Fei, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Xiu, and suddenly understood.
At the same time, his gaze became even more serious.
The identity of the Western Liang general opposite him was obvious. He was the Northern Spear King, Zhang Xiu, and also the senior brother of Zhao Yun and Tong Fei.
Cao Cao did not expect that Li Ru would set up an ambush on the mountain path.
Although Zhang Xiu's troops were not many, they were all elites among elites.
If they fought Cao Cao, the Cao army would definitely suffer heavy losses and would no longer have the ability to pursue.
Zhao Yun was also very clear about this.
Thus, he had been delaying the battle with Zhang Xiu because he was waiting for Tong Fei and Cao Cao to arrive.
"Eldest Senior Brother, why don't you bring your soldiers and defect to my side?”
Tong Fei glanced at the Northern Spearmen behind Zhang Xiu and said with a smile.
"Ah, this! Changping, I am a general under Dong Xiangguo, the Spear King of the Northern Lands. How can I surrender just like that?”
"Moreover, my uncle and father are both Great Generals under the Prime Minister. I can't do such an unkind thing.”
Zhang Xiu's family was loyal to Dong Zhuo.
His father, Zhang Jun, had died on the battlefield with Dong Zhuo when he was pacifying Liangzhou. His uncle, Zhang Xiu, had become an important general under Dong Zhuo. Together with Li Jue, Guo Si, and Fan Chou, he was known as the "F4 of the Xiliang Army".
In the Western Liang Army, he could be said to be a very powerful existence.
Zhang Xiu's martial arts skills were not low, and he was also Zhang Ji's nephew, so it was certain that he would succeed Zhang Ji in the future.
From the looks of it, it was indeed a great future.
But…that was only in Zhang Xiu's eyes.
In Tong Fei's eyes, Zhang Xiu's future was bleak.
In history, after Dong Zhuo died, Zhang Xiu followed Zhang Ji to attack Wancheng and took over his position after Zhang Ji died.
He had gained the help of Jia Xu, Hu Che 'er, and the others.
However, he had Cao Cao in the north, Liu Biao in the south, and Li Jue and Guo Si in the west. There was no way for him to rise.
In the end, the only outcome awaiting Zhang Xiu was to join the other dukes.
After surrendering to Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu died of illness in the war against the Wuhuan in 207 AD. The era of the Spear King ended.
Zhang Xiu's death was highly suspicious, and many said that it was Cao Pi's doing.
Regardless of whether it was true or false, they all died miserably in the end.
The death of Cao Ang and Dian Wei also determined that Zhang Xiu would not have any achievements in Cao's camp.
Now, Zhang Xiu was actually ordered by Li Ru to bring up the rear.
Tong Fei was speechless.
If he wasn't here, with Boss Cao's personality, he would definitely fight Zhang Xiu to the end.
Five thousand Cao soldiers against two thousand Northern Spearmen. The final result was likely to be a miserable victory for the Cao army.
The highest possibility was that Zhang Xiu had died in battle, or that he had been killed by a Cao camp general.
Tong Fei was also intoxicated by his Eldest Senior Brother.
Why did he have to take on this job of bringing up the rear?
Wouldn't it be nice if you followed Zhang Ji to Chang 'an earlier?
"Eldest Senior Brother, have you ever thought that you're helping Zhou to plunder?”
Tong Fei's tone suddenly changed as he said coldly.
"We're just serving our own masters."
Zhang Xiu retorted.
However, in the next moment, Zhang Xiu regretted it, because Tong Fei was about to activate the " Spit to Death " mode...
