Han family achievements

Chapter 233: Everywhere
Tao Qian was trapped in Langya County, unable to advance or retreat. There were wolves in front of him and tigers in the back. Now Lu Bu openly entered Langya County and surrounded Kaiyang. This was a disaster!

Zang Ba and Zhao Yu are determined to defend the city, but there are few soldiers and food in the city, and no reinforcements outside, and they are facing Lu Bu with 2 horses. How can they defend?

Zang Ba and Zhao Yu were discussing countermeasures, but Lu Bu outside the city couldn't wait.

He looked at Gao Shun and the others beside him, and said loudly: "How can a mere Kaiyang County stop me, Lu Bu? Gao Shun, prepare to attack the city!"

"Obey!" Gao Shun raised his hand and said.He has always been taciturn, and he values ​​his superiors' orders most. After receiving the order, he began to mobilize his troops.

Gao Shun was considered to have been in battle for a long time. He was surrounded by three and one was missing. He focused on attacking the south gate. He had a total of 5000 people and prepared in an orderly manner.

Cheng Lian came to Lv Bu and said, "My lord, I feel that in half a day at most, I will be able to persuade you to surrender."

Lu Bu looked proud and said, "I don't need them to surrender, I need Tao Qian's head!"

Cheng Lian was startled, and said, "What does my lord mean?"

Lu Bu laughed loudly, and said: "The Han Dynasty is coming to an end, and it is the place where heroes can use their talents. How can I, Lu Bu, live under others for a long time!"

Cheng Lian looked at Lu Bu, his heart was suddenly shocked, and he immediately raised his hand and said loudly: "I am willing to follow my lord and achieve great achievements!"

Cheng Lian also realized later that when Lu Bu asked them to change their address to "Master", it actually foreshadowed that Lu Bu was no longer a "servant".

Lu Bu laughed even louder, and the white horse under him roared even more, as if sensing the master's emotions, he couldn't help but want to charge forward.

Not long after, Gao Shun was ready. With an order, thousands of people rushed towards Yangnan Gate.

Kaiyang is just a small county town with insufficient city walls and small city gates. Thousands of people attacked the city and it immediately seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

Zang Ba was at the top of the city, waving his sword and shouting at the top of his lungs: "Kill them! Kill them!"

There were less than a thousand soldiers on the city gate, and they all knew the consequences of the city's destruction. No one flinched and defended desperately.

As for the other three gates, Lu Bu's soldiers did not attack, but they were in full siege posture. The soldiers on the gates were very nervous and did not dare to breathe.

Zhao Yu looked gloomy, patrolling the city back and forth, not daring to be careless.

The fighting at the south gate became increasingly fierce, and Lu Bu's soldiers and horses had entered the top of the city, and started a battle for the top of the city.

At the gate of the city, there is a group of people, holding up the hammer, hitting it one after another.

The gate trembled, and the ground shook endlessly. Inside the city gate, officers and soldiers stood against the long logs, blocking the gate firmly.

Zang Ba yelled angrily from the top of the city, hacked to death a retreating one, and shouted: "Stop it for me, once the rebels enter the city, everyone will die!"

The officers and soldiers desperately shouted to kill, struggling to resist.

But in the end, the enemy is outnumbered, Kaiyang city head, less than half an hour, there is a danger of falling.

Not far away, Lu Bu rode back and forth on horseback, with a proud and disdainful expression on his face, he said, "How can a mere Kaiyang block me, Lu Bu!"

Cheng Lian didn't ride a horse, but stood aside and said, "My lord, I'll take people to the north gate to prevent them from escaping!"

Lu Bu nodded indifferently, and said: "Order Gao Shun to step up the attack, and we will break through Kaiyang today!"

"Yes!"

The messenger responded and rushed to deliver the order.

Gao Shun received the order to immediately increase his troops and storm the south gate.

On the city tower, more than half of the few soldiers had been lost. The young men in the city picked up the weapons on the ground and hacked clumsily, but they fell to the ground one by one.

Zang Ba's eyes were red, he was roaring angrily, his body was covered in blood, and he still refused to retreat.

Zhao Yu rushed over with his men, fought with the rushing Lu Bu soldiers and horses, and tried his best to guard.

"Why are you here!?" Zang Ba shouted.

Even though Zhao Yu was a civil servant, he also picked up the knife at this moment, resisted with difficulty, and shouted: "I can't hold it anymore!"

Zang Ba's face was ferocious, he stopped talking nonsense and continued to hack and kill.

Zhao Yu's words were very simple, if the south gate could not be defended, the city would be broken, and drawing troops from the other three gates was a desperate situation, and there was no way out.

"Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, Zhao Yu lost his voice in surprise when he saw it from the corner of his eye.

Tao Qian, who was pale and extremely ill, slowly climbed up to the city gate with the help of soldiers.

Tao Qian came to Arrow Pavilion with a bitter look on his face, and said to Zhao Yu who was coming over: "Tao Qian is incompetent and the whole army has been exhausted."

Zhao Yuben wanted to persuade Tao Qian to leave, but he was at a loss for words when he heard the words, not knowing what to say.

Tao Qian is a "benevolent official", "upright official", and "virtuous and grand" person, but for Xuzhou now, he has no achievements, and is even really incompetent.

If only he had some courage, he wouldn't be where he is today.

Outside the city, Lu Bu rode a horse and walked slowly towards the south gate.

In a moment and a half at most, the Kaiyang South Gate will be breached.

嘭

The city gate, which had been damaged for a long time, was suddenly knocked open, and the city gate fell to pieces, stirring up countless dust.

"Come on!"

Lu Bu's army was in full swing, fighting desperately at the top of the city gate, and rushed into Kaiyang City.

"kill!"

Lu Bu patted his horse and led his army straight to the city gate.

Seeing this, Tao Qian in the Arrow Pavilion turned extremely pale instantly, and couldn't even stand still. He called Zang Ba and Zhao Yu, and said with force: "Forget it, cut off my head and offer it to Lu Bu, to protect you." lives, and try to save the lives of as many people in the city as possible.”

Zang Ba scolded angrily: "Fart, I, Zang Ba, am I a seller seeking to survive!"

Zhao Yu also had a stern face and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Yu has no virtue, but if he doesn't want to be a scumbag, he would rather die by Lu Bu's sword than surrender to a thief!"

Tao Qian looked at the two, feeling more and more bitter, he could only sigh helplessly, looked up at the sky, and said sadly: "I am a big man with virtue and power, why did I end up in such a mess..."

"kill!"

Lu Bu had already entered the city, taking the lead and charging in without anyone taking advantage of him.

Zang Ba didn't have time to pay attention to Tao Qian's self-pity and restraint, and walked towards the entrance of the tower with a big knife in his hand, with a grim face, ready to fight with Lv Bu.

Zhao Yu also knew that now was not the time to be emotional, so he held the knife and stood in front of Tao Qian.

Lu Bu did not kill, but just ordered Gao Shun. Cheng Lian and others continued to kill and made a forced landing, with no intention of taking action themselves.

At the same time, in a dense forest not far from Kaiyang County, there were no birds and no sound.

Next to a big tree, Zhang Chao, the former prefect of Xiapi and Guangling, stood looking towards Kaiyang.

Beside him stood the tall, majestic and mighty Guangling Gong Cao Zang Hong.

Zang Hong looked cold and solemn, and said: "Prefect, Lu Bu has broken the city."

Zhang Chao is not tall, but his face is wide and long, like a simple and honest rich man. At this moment, his face was full of chills, and he said: "Zang Hong obeys orders!"

"The next official is here!" Zang Hong immediately raised his hand and said.

Zhang Chao pulled his horse over, turned on his feet, and said, "I order you to lead an army of two thousand to attack Lv Bu's camp and burn Lv Bu's grain and grass. The rest of you will follow me to rescue Xu Shijun!"

"The next official takes orders!" Zang Hong said in a deep voice.

Before Zang Hong could finish his sentence, Zhang Chao held a long sword and shouted, "Kill the traitor!"

"Kill!" The army behind Zhang Chao followed him like a tide and rushed towards Kaiyang City.

Without delay, Zang Hong led two thousand troops and headed straight for Lu Bu's camp.

At this moment, Gao Shun, Cheng Lian and others had already reached the top of the city, besieging Tao Qian, Zang Ba, Zhao Yu and others in the Arrow Pavilion, and they were about to die.

A sudden shout from the east of the city startled everyone.

Gao Shun quickly looked around and saw officers and soldiers all over the mountains and plains, rushing out of the woods. He couldn't see the head at a glance and couldn't estimate the number of people.

"Lord, some of them are running towards the camp!" Cheng Lian suddenly said urgently.

For the current army, food and grass are more precious than gold.Except for the great Han court and the state shepherds who were supported by great families, almost everyone's food and grass came from looting.

These include Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao!
Lu Bu stood at the top of the city, grabbed the long hair, went down the tower, and shouted: "Look at them, wait until I kill them before making a decision!"

Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou after all, has many uses, and Lu Bu didn't want to kill him.

Lu Bu's troops responded and surrounded Arrow Pavilion.

Tao Qian watched Lu Bu go away, turned his head and couldn't see the reinforcements, coughed, and asked doubtfully, "Did you find reinforcements?"

Zhao Yu didn't understand, and said, "I wrote the letter, but it shouldn't be so fast."

Zang Ba even shook his head, given his background as a bandit, how could he have any official friends.

Leaning on crutches, Tao Qian looked east, although he was confused, but more excited.

'The people in the city may be saved. '

Lu Buyi, an expert in art, was brave and led his troops out of the city to directly meet Zhang Chao.

"Zhang Chao? Leave no one alive, kill them all!"

Lu Bu and Zhang Chao are also old acquaintances, and Xiapi was snatched from Zhang Chao.

He rides on a tall horse and holds a spear, majestic and majestic, and his actions are like thunder.

Zhang Chao didn't expect Lu Bu to be so bold. He looked back, took a deep breath, and shouted, "Kill the thief!"

Zhang Chao's soldiers and horses were brought from Xiapi to Guangling and then to Langya County. There are a total of 5000 soldiers. Although they have not experienced any major battles, there are some newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers. Together.

"My lord, Da Cang is caught!" Suddenly, Cao Xing shouted anxiously behind Lu Bu.

Lu Bu, who was galloping on his horse, turned his head and saw thick smoke billowing in the direction of Dacang. Even in the daytime, one could see the flames soaring into the sky.

"Impossible! How come so fast!"

Lu Bu reined in his horse, his face full of shock and disbelief.

Calculated according to the distance, Tao Qian's reinforcements rushed to his granary before halfway, so why did the granary burn?
Zhang Chao also saw it, but he was overjoyed. Regardless of the reason, he raised his long sword and shouted: "The traitor's food and grass have been burned. Soldiers, kill the thief!"

"kill!"

The morale of Zhang Chao's soldiers and horses was greatly boosted, and the pace of charging was much faster.

The so-called ups and downs, Zhang Chao's army's morale was high, and Lu Bu's army, which had been burned, suddenly became chaotic and noisy.

Cao Xing panicked even more, and said, "My lord, what should I do?"

The granary was on fire and the morale of the army was in chaos. How could the war continue?
Lu Bu had the confidence to defeat Zhang Chao, who didn't know the so-called Zhang Chao, but the morale of the army was already confused. No matter how confident he was, he had no choice but to order: "Withdraw!"

For Zhang Chao who was approaching, Cao Xing was left with 1000 men to stop him. Lu Bu led more than 1 men and ran towards Xiapi without looking back.

Naturally, Zhang Chao would not let go of such a good opportunity, chasing after him like thunder.

Gao Shun and others at the top of Kaiyang City wanted to kill Tao Qian and others. After a while of charging and seeing no effect, they had to lead their troops and retreat.

After Tao Qian and the others got their freedom, they came to the gate of the city to have a look.

"It's Zhang Chao, why is he here?" Zhao Yu asked in surprise.

After passing through this wave, Tao Qian coughed more and looked at the direction Zhang Chao's army was pursuing, and said, "I remember, he should be in Guangling, under Ding Shijun..."

Up to now, Tao Qian still doesn't know that Ding Yuan died in Lu Bu's hands.

Zang Ba didn't care about these things. He looked at the flames of Lu Bu's camp in the distance, and said in surprise: "This super-really good method can actually burn Lu Bu's granary? How long has he been in ambush?"

Zhao Yu frowned and said, "It shouldn't be, we didn't find out, how could Lu Bu not find out? Unless he just arrived not long ago."

Tao Qian coughed again and again, leaning on the city wall with one hand, and said, "How did he suddenly appear in Langya County?"

Zang Ba and Zhao Yu turned to Tao Qian. This question reached a critical point.

When they were wondering, they were not far to the south of Lu Bu's granary.

Huangfu Jianchang, Cheng Yu, and Shi A were sitting on a big tree, admiring the fire.

Huangfu Jian smacked his lips with regret, and said, "If it wasn't for coming in a hurry, as long as you give me half a day, the food and grass will be mine..."

Cheng Yu carefully grabbed a branch and said with an admiring smile: "Second Young Master, Sima had the foresight to bury Zhang Chao's extraordinary army, otherwise Tao Shijun and others would have died today. "

Huangfu nodded his head and said: "It's just that you told me a little late, but if you told me half a day earlier, the food and grass would be mine..."

Shi A stood holding the sword, glanced at him, and said: "The letter from En Gong ordered you to escort Tao Shijun and others to Beijing, what do you plan?"

Huangfu Jian let out a long cough, straightened his back, and said: "My Imperial City Mansion is not affiliated with the Taige, and the Da Sima Mansion can't control me, at most I can send someone to escort me."

Shi A ignored him, knowing that he was still competing.

Seeing that Lu Bu was defeated and the siege of Kaiyang was broken, Huangfu Jian asked Cheng Yu, "Sir, what should we do now?"

Cheng Yu kept staring at the direction where Lv Bu was escaping, and said, "Second son, Lv Bu's direction is Xiapi County. He must stand on his own or join Dong Zhuo. Now that Langya County is preserved, the imperial court may not send troops to conquer Lv Bu. From the direction of Langya County and Guangling However, Lv Bu was under attack from both sides, so he had no choice but to go to Dong Zhuo or Yuan Shu."

"Dong Zhuo is more likely!"

Huangfu's long eyes became sharp, and he said, "Shall we go to Xiang County?"

Cheng Yu pondered for a while, and said, "Second Young Master, why don't you go to Yangzhou?"

Huangfu Jian said: "In the past, the imperial court had no choice but to use Dong Zhuo and others to resist Yuan Shu and delay time. Now that the imperial court has calmed down, it has enough strength to attack Yuan Shu. Didn't you say that the court layout is more stringent than before? , Lili, Yuan Shu million, just two years after tomorrow? Then we don’t care what he does, naturally we have to deal with the more troublesome Dong Zhuo first.”

Cheng Yu saw that Huangfu Jianchang's thoughts were so clear, he said, "Second Young Master, is this super credible?"

Zhang Chao is Zhang Miao's younger brother. Zhang Miao rebelled the year before and joined Yuan Shu. He was later killed by Zhao Yun. On the contrary, Zhang Chao, Zhang Miao's younger brother, vowed to draw a clear line with Zhang Miao and never take part in the rebellion. He prevented Yuan Shu from entering Xuzhou and was able to Was pardoned by the court.

Huangfu Jianchang also hesitated, thought for a while, and said: "If sir, you want to use troops, Guan Yunchang can do it."

"How many soldiers?" Cheng Yu asked.

Huangfu Jian said: "Sanqian, what are you going to do, Mister?"

Cheng Yu was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's hard to say for now, but it's always more convenient to have a troop of soldiers and horses by your side."

Huangfu Jianchang raised his head and looked to the north, and suddenly said excitedly: "What big thing do you want to do, sir? I can transfer [-] people from Yanzhou, [-] people from Jizhou, plus those from other places, the total is [-]!"

Cheng Yu looked at Huangfu Jianchang with some doubts.

You know, [-] troops is not a small number!
Regardless of Yuan Shu's menace, he claims to have an army of 30, but looking at it apart, the elite is only [-] to [-].

This is even more so for Dong Zhuo, the ones who are really capable of fighting are only Xiliang soldiers, with a total of only 2 soldiers!
And the imperial court's ostensible soldiers and horses are only more than a hundred thousand, and Huangfu Jianchang opened his mouth with [-] troops, which may account for nearly [-]% of the imperial court's military strength!
Don't say that Chief Huangfu Jian is just a school lieutenant, even Grand Sima Huangfusong, if he wants to mobilize an army of [-], he has to ask for an order, right?
At least, he won't be able to mobilize [-] troops at will like Huangfu Jianchang!
