The whole Shouchun suddenly became busy again, and movements began in all the military camps. The Black Chess Army and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry gathered in the city. Now Shouchun can be said to have gathered Lu Bu's army with basically 80% of its combat power and can fight a battle.

"What's going on! The Xiliang Iron Cavalry has attacked the city!" Liu Mang asked, put on his armor and put on the Shouchun wall.

"Lord!" Cheng Yu and Huang Xu saw Liu Mang's arrival and clasped their fists at Liu Mang. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry suddenly appeared under the city wall. Fortunately, it was already late now and the Shouchun City Gate had been closed, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Although the sky was dark, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under the city was wearing torches. Looking at the torches, there were thousands of people. "What is Hao Shao from Guangzhou doing for food? Why didn't he send someone to inform me! There is also information, why did Yang Hong not make any noise in advance?" Liu Mang was really angry. Not only was he angry with Yang Hong, but also Hao Shao from Guangzhou also added in. Such a Xiliang Iron Cavalry invaded the hinterland of Yangzhou. There was no movement, but he ran to the gate of Shouchun. What is this not a dereliction of duty! Yang Hong's intelligence did not send any news, and there was no news with Hao Shao from Guangzhou. You must know that if the Xiliang Iron Cavalry wanted to enter Yangzhou, it was impossible for him to go through Guangzhou.

In fact, Liu Mang was wronged and Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu were both beaten away. Now Yang Hong was mainly responsible for the information about Sun Ce in Jiangdong and Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Naturally, there was less information about Nanyang County. Yang Hong ran to Lujiang to pick up Yuan Fang. How could he care about this information? Naturally, it would form a vacuum. Hao Shao in Guangzhou was even more unfair. These thousands of Xiliang Iron Cavalry passed by his Guangzhou gate. He had discovered it long ago. He even sent some scouts to inquire, but the war horses left in Guangzhou were all slow horses. How could he run over the Xiliang Good Horses under the crotch of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry! So the final result was that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry had all run to Shouchun, and Hao Shao's informant was still on the way.

"Good come. Since I dare to come, I will definitely want all the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to stay at this Shouchun City!" Liu Mang said coldly in his language, because there were thousands of Bingzhou wolf cavalry in the city, and the city manager was trapped in the formation of black chess and three heavy armored infantry in the city, which was enough to encircle and suppress the Xiliang Iron Cavalry outside the city.

Listening to Liu Mang's angry words, Cheng Yu and Huang Xu were not easy to interrupt, so they could only tell Liu Mang what he was under the city. "Lord, this Xiliang Iron Cavalry did not attack the city!" Cheng Yu and Huang Xu were both very strange. After the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under the city arrived, not only did not attack the city, but instead fired all the torches, fearing that no one in Shouchun knew about them, and he also stopped at the city for a long time, which made Cheng Yu very strange.

"No siege?!" Liu Mang frowned. What does the Xiliang Iron Cavalry want? Liu Mang looked at the torches outside the city. It was getting late. He should be preparing to set up a camp and attack the city tomorrow! It seems that Zhang Xiu is really unstoppable.

Liu Mang would not give these Western Liang cavalry a chance to survive tomorrow. "Cheng Yu passed our military orders. Let the black chess trap the two battalions. Go out from the city gates on both sides, take a detour behind the Western Liang cavalry to ambush them, and wait for my order to attack the three groups!" Liu Mang was preparing to leave this Western Liang cavalry, and he would need to send troops to buy food and grass tomorrow. It would be impossible to delay it.

"Yes! The last general will take the order!" Just as Cheng Yu and Huang Xu were half-kneeling and holding their fists, they suddenly walked out of the city. Everyone of the dozen cavalry was on torches and rushed towards the city wall of Shouchun. The large Xiliang Iron Cavalry behind them also took action.

When the enemy takes action, Liu Mang's army in this city naturally needs to respond, "Prepare for the bed crossbow!" Shouchun City once again installed a bed crossbow. This bed crossbow was really effective in defending the city. So after Guangzhou, except for Liu Mang who took dozens of frames, the rest were left in Guangzhou and taught Hao Shao. I believe that Hao Shao, the little prince of Jiandun, the defense king, will definitely be able to express his talent with iron walls.

The range of the bed crossbow can reach 700 steps, and within 500 steps, it can even shoot through the giant shield and heavy armor. These dozens of riders are just one round of shooting on the bed crossbow.

"Slow!" Liu Mang frowned and looked at the dozen Xiliang Iron Cavalry rushing over under the city. If he wanted to attack the city, it would not be these dozen cavalry that appeared but directly attacked the city, so there was no need for crossbows. Moreover, Liu Mang looked at these dozen cavalrymen, and could still see the appearance of a person with the light of the torch. Among the dozen people, there were only two generals, one literati, and even one child! The others were all armoured, but they could be seen as personal guards. You can't use literati and children to attack the city! So they must have come to talk.

"Let them come forward!" Listening to Liu Mang's words, the crossbow on the city was taken back again. Only then did the dozen or so riders under the city come to the moat with confidence and stand on the moat.

"Above the city, is Liu Mang and Liu Ziyang, His Highness of the Holy King of Han!" A scholar under the city suddenly asked loudly. "We are the Iron Cavalry and Horses of Xiliang under the command of Zhang Xiu, the General Yang of Nanyang!"

"I am the King of Shu," Liu Mang also responded to the shouts of the scholars under the city. Although he was named the Saint King by the Emperor of Han and respected by others, he must not call himself the Saint King himself, and he can only use the title of King of Shu. "Why are Zhang Xiu not convinced of the defeat in Yangzhou and is planning to send you to death!"

Zhang Xiu's Western Liang Iron Cavalry was played twice by Lu Bu's army. The first one was ambushed by Guangzhou, and then by Lu Bu. According to Zhang Xiu's possibility of being well-behaved, he would really come back to take revenge.

"I dare not, I dare not!" The scholar below hurriedly greeted.

"Don't dare? Don't dare, why did you appear in my Yangzhou? Why didn't you dare to force me to the city of Shouchun?!" Liu Mang snorted coldly at the scholar below. No one would like to be beaten by the enemy.

"His Royal Highness, I am here this time not to be an enemy of His Royal Highness, but to make His Royal Highness uphold justice, to return the cavalry of Xiliang, and to give me a clean innocence to General Yangwu!" The scholar under the city continued to answer with Liu Mang.

"Give you a clean and fair person?" Liu Mang really didn't understand what happened to Zhang Xiu. He and Zhang Xiu are enemies, why are they like subordinates now? You must know that although Liu Mang has the title of a prince, how many people in the world will buy it.

"Where is Zhang Xiuren! You ask him to come out and talk!" Liu Mang didn't understand, of course he wouldn't say much. There might be a fraud in it, so he just let Zhang Xiu come out and talk. Cheng Yu had already gone down the city wall, and the Black Chess Army and the Crane Camp should have gone out to go around. As long as there is enough time, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under the city will be in the jar.

"My lord, General Yangwu, has already returned!" The scholar under the city did not speak, and a general next to him spoke first. The man actually had a hint of crying sound during his speech.

"Go back?!" Did you return to Wancheng, Nanyang? What kind of justice should be asked for him? Is Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei disagree? Did Zhang Xiu ask for help? Is this a joke? Not to mention that Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei's army are in the honeymoon period. You must know that in order to save Zhang Xiu, even the Bai's heavy armored soldiers were trapped in, and the general Chen Dao around him also died in the chaos. Chen Dao's body was still Zhao Yun begged to him. Zhao Yun buried it himself, and Zhang Xiu's Wancheng was a powerful city. Zhang Xiu was stronger than Liu Bei in comparison with force. Zhang Xiu could lose 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry because the 20,000 was not his all, but Liu Bei was different. Bai's heavy armored armored soldiers were all his elites.

"Lord, this Xiu should be dead!" Xu Shu next to him reminded Liu Mang.

"Die!" Liu Mang was stunned. How could Zhang Xiu die? Liu Mang didn't believe the news at all. Because Lu Bu had clearly told Chen Gong's plan before, and a tiger was in the mountain. It would be better for two tigers to fight each other. Killing Zhang Xiu has no other benefits except to completely make Wancheng and Lu Bu's army in Nanyang. On the contrary, Liu Bei could annex Zhang Xiu's Wancheng in the name of avenging Zhang Xiu. So for Zhang Xiu's only Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who could destroy him, and chop off his claws that stretched into Yangzhou to teach him a lesson.

Instead of destroying Zhang Xiu, it is better to turn around the target and focus all your energy on Liu Bei, rely on Zhang Xiu's bait to seduce Liu Bei and eliminate Liu Bei's white-eared and heavy armor. Even if Liu Bei does not save Zhang Xiu, Lu Bu will come up with a solution to let Zhang Xiu escape back to Nanyang.

So Zhang Xiu could not die, but now the words given to Liu Mang by the people under the city were that Zhang Xiu was dead, and Liu Mang was the first to believe it.

But something even more unbelievable happened. Only the scholars under the city clasped their fists and said, "I, Jia Xu, brought my young master Zhang Lei, to join His Highness the King of Shu. I hope His Highness the King of Shu can take us in for the sake of being a great Han official!"

"Jia Xu is Zhang Xiu's counselor! Zhang Lei is Zhang Xiu's son?!" Liu Mang reacted subconsciously, but then he was shocked.

"He, what did he say! Jia Xu! Jia Xu?!" Liu Mang was suddenly stunned. "You are Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe?!" Liu Mang's voice was full of disbelief.

"Hmm?!" The two scholars present frowned. One of them was Xu Shu next to Liu Mang. Xu Shu had heard Jia Xu's reputation, but his reputation was really not very good. Jia Xu had the label of Dong Zhuo, the treacherous Han Dynasty officials, and the incompetent and selfish.

Because Jia Xu was promoted by Dong Zhuo when he was Dong Zhuo. Although he did not make much contribution, he was regarded as a remnant of Dong Zhuo by those who claimed justice. Just like Cai Wenji's father, although he was not with Dong Zhuo, he was sent to prison and finally tortured to death. It was because Dong Zhuo promoted Cai Wenji's father and wanted to help Dong Zhuo restrain his body, so Wang Yun regarded it as a thorn in his eyes and was executed.

Similarly, Jia Xu ran fast or he would die. Later, he was a treacherous minister of the Han Dynasty. Because he instigated Li Jue and Guo Si to gather troops to attack Chang'an, the Han Emperor was played with and applauded by the two for many years, and the Han Dynasty lost its prestige.

Xu Shu is not a stubborn person, so he naturally doesn't pay attention to any other traitorous ministers, but he cares about the two subsequent comments, being incompetent in selfishness. Jia Xu's incompetence is because he is under his command, whoever he will be defeated. Dong Zhuo used Jia Xu and died, Li Jue and Guo Si used Jia Xu and died! Zhang Xiu used Jia Xu but made an endless water in a county in Nanyang. So what everyone thinks is that Jia Xu is incompetent!

There are also selfish people. Jia Xu ran away again and again before his lord was defeated. What is this not selfishness!

But now, my lord, who had to frown when he heard this name so disobedient.

"Hmm?!" Another person frowned that was Jia Xu under the city. Jia Xu frowned because he didn't understand why His Highness Shu King was so out of control when he heard his name! Could it be that His Highness Shu King knew him? It's impossible. Jia Xu had never seen Liu Mang at all. Even if Liu Mang knew that he was the one who existed, it was defined as incompetent and selfish!

Jia Xu couldn't help but laugh at himself, "I can't help myself?" Jia Xu was incompetent but didn't want to display his talents! This would only increase the troubles of casualties. Neither Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si, or Zhang Xiu were not the ones who unified the world! Give advice to such people, just like Chen Gong at the time, the final outcome was just a dead end. Jia Xu didn't want to do this, so he directly chose not to speak and not waste time!

Selfish? Who can not be selfish? It’s just that Jia Xu’s selfishness is based on his own freedom. Who will die selflessly! As long as no one provokes Jia Xu, Jia Xu is not willing to be enemies with others, right?
