If Han Sui is captured, even if Han Sui's body is obtained, Jincheng County is no longer a threat, and Liu Zhang can concentrate on dealing with Ma Teng's 50,000 cavalry.

Even throwing Han Sui's head into Ma Teng's army will definitely make Ma Teng terrified.

"Congratulations, my lord. After Han Sui's death, there will be no obstacles to regaining Liangzhou!"

Fazheng quickly congratulated Liu Zhang, but he had already guessed the result.

Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Xu Huang's three-way army, together with Gao Shun's trapped camp, blocked them layer by layer. How could Han Sui escape the net of Liu Zhang when he fled?

Just when Liu Zhang and Fazheng were pleasantly surprised, the messenger also rushed to Liu Zhang on horseback.

"Report to my lord, Di Dao urgently reports!"

"Speak quickly! Who caught Han Sui?"

Liu Zhang's expectant and eager tone made the soldiers startled, and they knelt on the ground without answering for a long time.

"..."

"Speak up! Where's Han Sui?"

Liu Zhang frowned, as if he had a bad premonition, and hurriedly asked the soldiers for accurate information.

The soldiers could only fold their hands and look at the ground, not daring to look up into Liu Zhang's eyes.

"My lord, Han Sui... ran away..."

"what!"

Liu Zhang grabbed the soldier and asked again sharply.

"What did you say? Where is Han Sui?"

The soldier turned pale with fright, and immediately wept, looking very aggrieved.

"Master...My lord...Han Sui asked others to pretend to be him to lead the soldiers to break through, but he himself ran away from the path..."

Liu Zhang's cheeks twitched wildly, the slap came so fast!

Thinking of the vow he had just made to Fazheng that Han Sui would not escape, he did not expect the news of Han Sui's escape to come so soon.

"call…"

Liu Zhang took several deep breaths to calm himself down from his anger, and then let go of the soldiers' hands.

"Where are Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Xu Huang? How is their battle going?"

The soldiers didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately handed over their hands and reported.

"My lord, General Zhao and General Xu combined the Liangzhou Army outside Didao City and wiped out more than 3,000 enemy cavalry, and all the rest were captured."

"Afterwards, General Zhao, General Dian, and General Gao led the army to intercept Han Sui's rout and wiped out more than 2,000 enemy cavalry. The rest were all captured. Except for Han Sui himself and a few of his own soldiers, no one escaped."

In this way, Han Sui's 40,000 army has been wiped out, and Han Sui only escaped with his own body.

This record is undoubtedly a big victory for the Yizhou Army, but Liu Zhang is really not happy.

It took so much thought to set up a net, and even to annihilate the enemy, put Wu Fengying under tremendous pressure! Everything went very smoothly, Liu Zhang even saw the fattest big fish with his own eyes before closing the net!

It is certain that there will be fish that slip through the net, after all, this is unavoidable.

But Liu Zhang never imagined that the fattest, most important, and Han Sui whom Liu Zhang most wanted to capture was the one who slipped through the net!

After Han Sui escaped from birth, the situation in Jincheng County has changed again.

In case Han Sui united with the Qiangs and pulled up an army of tens of thousands, it would undoubtedly be another fierce battle!

"Hey! It's really a man's calculation! I didn't expect that the cooked duck was handed to his mouth, and he was let fly in the end!"

Thinking of what he said just now, "There is a definite number in the dark", Liu Zhang could only smile helplessly.

"It's broken, Mengda!"

Fazheng, who had been silent by the side, suddenly exclaimed.

"My lord, I have a good friend named Meng Da, who was the one who pretended to be Ma Teng's messenger before. He was ordered by Han Sui to stay at the gate of Didao City. I don't know if he is dead or alive..."

Having talked with Liu Zhang in detail before, Fazheng has already left the matter of Meng Da behind. Just now when the messenger brought up the matter of Di Dao, Fazheng suddenly remembered it.

Liu Zhang was also very concerned about Meng Da's situation, and quickly turned to look at the soldiers.

"Do you know if a man named Meng Da was captured?"

The soldier thought for a while, and finally shook his head.

"My lord, I don't know..."

Liu Zhang nodded lightly, and did not embarrass the messenger in front of him any more.

Soldiers are just the lowest-level fighters in the army. Unless the general tells them, they will hardly know any information.

For Meng Da, who is known for his capriciousness, Liu Zhang doesn't have much grudges in his heart.

In history, Meng Da's rebellion against Liu Bei was really helpless.

On the contrary, what awaits him is nothing but the ending of perishing like Liu Feng.

After Meng Da surrendered to Cao Pi, he was immediately appreciated by Cao Pi and entrusted with important tasks.

When he fought side by side with Xia Houshang and Xu Huang, he was also praised by these two.

From this point of view, there is no doubt that Meng Da's ability is very strong. It is difficult for idlers to get into the eyes of Xia Houshang and Xu Huang.

Judging from Cao Pi's joy at Meng Da's surrender, it must be that Meng Da has an extremely recognized advantage.

From a surrendered general, it must be difficult for Cao Pi to value his character, which is undoubtedly ability.

Cao Pi divided Fangling, Shangyong, and Xicheng into Xincheng County, and promoted Meng Da to the position of prefect, which is enough to illustrate Meng Da's personal ability.

At least in Cao Pi's opinion, Meng Da is enough to resist the threat from Hanzhong in Shangyong.

Liu Zhang fully believed in his heart that if there was no threat to his life in this life, Meng Da would definitely fulfill his duties under his command and would never have any thoughts of rebellion again.

"Xiao Zhi, I have met Meng Da before, he is alert, so he will be fine."

Hearing Liu Zhang's comfort, Fazheng nodded in agreement.

"My lord's words are very true. Meng Da has been dissatisfied with Han Sui for a long time. He must not want to sacrifice his life for Han Sui."

Fazheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Liu Zhang again.

"My lord, Meng Da is a little frivolous, but he is very capable. If Meng Da survives by chance, please accept him and help the Han family together with the lord!"

This time it was Liu Zhang's turn to ask for more, and it was time to employ people, so the more talents like Meng Da, the better.

"Don't worry about Xiao Zhi, as long as Meng Da is willing to surrender, I will only hire you according to my qualifications!"

"Fazheng thanked the lord for Mengda!"

After receiving Liu Zhang's promise, Fazheng finally showed a smile.

He has a close friendship with Meng Da, and both regard each other as close friends.

Before defecting to Han Sui Mengda, there was a lot of dissatisfaction, but Fa Zheng was stubborn, so Meng Da could only follow alone.

Now that Fazheng has surrendered to Liu Zhang, it will be a blessing for both of them if they can serve under Liu Zhang's command again!

Liu Zhang was also very anxious about Meng Da's situation, and immediately ordered the soldiers to return to Didao City to inquire about the situation.

"Xiao Zhi, don't worry, as long as Meng Da is fine, I will keep him safe!"

Meng Da's surrender will undoubtedly increase Fazheng's loyalty again, even though Liu Zhang has no doubts at this moment.

At this moment, Fazheng's face suddenly changed, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

"not good!"
