Ding Yuan sneered again: "Wen Yuan, since you are so stubborn, I will order my men to attack the city later. Swords have no eyes, so don't blame me for not showing any mercy."
"My lord, there's no point in saying more. If you want to get to the clouds, you'll have to step over me!"
"With Zhang Wenyuan here, don't even think about sending a single soldier past!"
Zhang Liao initially planned to stall Ding Yuan with words and force him to retreat.
But Ding Yuan was determined to attack the city.
"My lord, you cannot defeat Dong Zhuo!" Zhang Liao said, stopping short of saying anything more.
He was present when Yao Guangxiao and Liu Wei discussed the matter last night, and naturally heard about Liu Wei's plan to cooperate with Dong Zhuo.
Seeing Ding Yuan's stubbornness, he breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling no psychological burden and ready to take a gamble.
"Hahaha! What a joke! I am determined to get the position of Governor of Bingzhou!" Ding Yuan laughed loudly.
Fortunately, that scoundrel Dong Zhuo was going to take over Shanwu.
Little did they know that after Liu Wei left the pass, he conquered the first county seat.
Since Liu Wei has already sent troops to Yunzhong, Shan Wu must have left behind a large force to defend the city.
Although Dong Zhuo recruited refugees and bandits to expand his forces, they were still a motley crew.
Even if we attack for a month or two, we might not be able to take down Zenwu!
Ding Yuan's Bingzhou army consisted of regular troops from various counties and prefectures, as well as border troops from Pianguan and Loufanguan.
In addition, there were the fearless Xiongnu people, making them incredibly formidable in battle.
Now that Liu Wei is fighting the Xianbei, Ding Yuan can sit back and watch the two tigers fight, ready to seize the opportunity to strike at any time.
If Liu Wei knew that Dong Zhuo's army was at the city gates, he might withdraw his troops.
Ding Yuan now has an even more legitimate reason to take over Yunzhong!
As long as we can get into the city, the tens of thousands of Xianbei people from the north of Yinshan are no problem.
Therefore, Ding Yuan felt that he had a greater chance of winning in taking Yunzhong.
"If it weren't for the fact that you, Zhang Wenyuan, are here, I wouldn't have said so much!"
"I'll be attacking the city soon, so you'd better watch out!"
After Ding Yuan finished speaking to Zhang Liao on the city wall, he turned and left.
"Fengxian, Uncle Zhi!"
"Zhang Wenyuan is dead in my heart!"
"Attack the city with all your might, show no mercy!"
