A few days later, Zhang Chen’s military camp.

At this time, Zhang Chen and his personal soldiers no longer need to sleep in the open air. Because Hua Xiong led 20,000 elite Xiliang cavalry to intercept Cao's reinforcements from Xuchang, this made Luoyang very safe from the vanguard of Zhang Chen's army. Under Xu Rong's urging in the past few days, Xu Rong's main force 80,000 troops finally crossed Luoyang City, guarded by Dong Min's headquarters and restored Luoyang. Xu Rong's main force also began to arrive at Chenliu City in a mighty manner, unobstructed all the way.

Zhang Chen's general Zhang Xiu brought his headquarters back to his uncle Zhang Ji to help manage the increasingly prosperous Liangzhou. General Xu Huang led his headquarters and a group of generals from the former Dong Zhuo army to guard the capital Chang'an. Although Zhang Chen's troops who were left at the four levels were very elite, Lu Bu's previous lessons left a deep impression on Zhang Chen and did not dare to underestimate the defense of his own base camp.

The supplies were also delivered today. Zhang Chen and his brothers were finally able to have a good meal. Zhang Chen invited Xu Rong and other groups of leading generals and his men to camp for many days in the camp that had just established a movable military camp technology that combined the newly developed mobile camp technology of the Mo camp to invite thousands of people to eat. The meat and wine that he planned to eat in the military camp on weekdays and explicitly prohibited were provided in large quantities as if he didn't have money. The guards of the camp had been handed over to the soldiers of Xu Rong's army. Xu Rong's army was the unit with the most soldiers under Zhang Chen and was also the main combat power. Although the main general was Xu Rong, the subordinates were divided into different small divisions, just like the Cavalry Department was handed over to Hua Xiong for training, and Li Meng was the deputy general of the entire 100,000 army, and could be dispatched at any time. Zhang Chen also dispatched Li Meng from Hua Xiong.

But just as Zhang Chen and other generals were drinking and planning this beautiful prospect, even Xu Rong, who was the most abiding by military discipline on weekdays, was persuaded by Zhang Chen and the rest of the people. After drinking a few drinks, a team of cavalrymen with blood all over their bodies and looked very embarrassed ran in. Just as the soldiers of the Third Battalion were talking about what was going on, Zhang Chen was already excited and ran out and threw away the wine glass in his hand.

"Meng Qi!" As a cultivator, Zhang Chen's vision was of course different from that of ordinary people. Ma Chao, who was seriously injured on the horse was immediately seen by Zhang Chen's eyes and ran out quickly. When the generals saw it, they knew something was wrong. Although they had drunk, no one was drunk. They all lost the interest in drinking. They followed Zhang Chen and ran over.

"What's wrong!" When he came to Ma Chao and others, Zhang Chen was furious and saw that Ma Chao was covered in blood, had already fainted and unconscious.

"Governor! You want to avenge us! The Cao army provoked the military power of our Xiliang Ma family army. The young master was so angry that he led us to attack. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed by their ambush and killed for three days before breaking out of the siege! Later, he was blocked by the Cao army defenders in Chenliu City. If General Zhang Liao had not supported him in time, our army would have been wiped out!" The accompanying Ma family soldiers cried.

While he was speaking, Zhang Chen had already asked the left and right to send the wounded to the hospital for treatment. Zhang Chen had already turned black after hearing this. This was entirely because Zhang Chen was immersed in self-planning but forgot the danger Ma Chao faced. Now Ma Chao's life and death are unknown, and it is inseparable from his arrogance.

After asking, Zhang Chen learned that the 10,000-year-old elite cavalry of his adopted father Ma Teng was besieged under the provocation of Cao's army, and almost wiped out the entire army. Only a few people were rescued by Zhang Liao. However, now that the blockade line has lost 10,000 Ma Chao's cavalry, Zhang Liao had to fight and retreat. Cao's reinforcements will continue to return to Chenliu City to fight with Zhang Chen. Fortunately, Zhang Chen's main force has arrived, and he can compete with Cao's army next.

"Come! Let's go to the parliament in the future! The entire army rested for three days, and then attacked Chenliu!" Half an hour later, Zhang Chen went to visit Ma Chao, who was still unconscious on the sickbed. Looking at the wounds of all sizes of his third brother, although they had been bandaged, there were still a few bleeding. This made Zhang Chen feel ashamed. In anger, he decided to summon the generals to launch a general attack on Chenliu. Everyone who had eaten half of the banquet had no appetite anymore.

When Zhang Chen summoned the generals in the camp to discuss the siege, Cao Hong and Le Jin, who had finally repelled Zhang Liao and opened Chenliu's lifeline, finally arrived at Chenliu City. Wang Zhong died under Ma Chao's gun while encircling Ma Chao. Cao Chun also returned to Cao Cao with the heavy losses of the tiger and leopard cavalry. Recently, the information came, Yuan Shao in the north and Yuan Shu in the south had agreed to the proposal to siege Zhang Chen in advance. While Yuan Shao asked his eldest son to urge Xuzhou's offensive, he lit up the tired army that had not been resting for a long time to prepare to cross the river and besiege Zhang Chen from Guandu. Yuan Shu also left the front line from Xuzhou and led a 100,000 army to kill Chenliu all the way from Xuzhou. Cao Cao's main force would return to Chenliu soon.

"General Cao Hong." Yu Jin personally welcomed Cao Hong and Le Jin. Although Le Jin suffered heavy losses after the battle to encircle and suppress Ma Chao, he also successfully eliminated the Ma family army, which gave Cao army a headache. This made even Yu Jin and Cao Hong, who were powerful in the Ma family army, look at these low-key colleagues with admiration.

"Well, the lord's reinforcements will arrive here soon. We will be our comrades next. Please guard this place well! Kill this damn Zhang Chen!" Cao Hong said cursingly, and the other two nodded.

The next three days were surprisingly quiet. Even Cao Hong's impetuous temperament did not leave the city to harass Zhang Chenjun because he knew that this was a battle that determined the life and death of Cao's army, and it was absolutely impossible to lose. Chenliu City was Cao Cao's base, and most of the people in the city were towards Cao Cao. Under the call of Cao Hong and Yu Jin and others, the people donated money and food, and more people went to the city to help reinforce it. Chenliu City was trapped in the haze of the war, and almost no noise and children's play could be found on the streets.

Confronting Chenliu City was Zhang Chen's huge military camp that could accommodate a 100,000 army. The military camp was located on the plain and looked very large. There were news from the spiritual camp intelligence networks everywhere that the latest movements of the Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers were controlled by Zhang Chen, and they were almost exposed to Zhang Chen's gaze.
