Chapter 90
Lu Bu led his cavalry galloping on the street, he saw not many people, the people did not dare to go out, all he saw was his own troops, his heart sank immediately, he knew that the situation might not be good.

It stands to reason that there are more than 1 defenders in the city, and it won't be so empty after running a part of it. It's obvious that I killed it so quickly.

Soon, he had an idea. No wonder Sun Ce made himself wait for a full cup of tea just now. It must be at that time that they were planning to escape.

When I was fighting Sun Ce, many people should have escaped from the east gate. Although I had arranged sentry cavalry at the other three gates, it took too long to run around the city and it was too late to report.

Lu Bu felt regretful if he knew that he shouldn't have dawdled with him for so long.

Moreover, a bad premonition arose in their hearts. If they were fully prepared to escape, going to the north gate would probably be a waste of time.

Sure enough, when we arrived at the north gate, the gate was more than two feet wide and three feet deep, filled with rolling stones and wood for defending the city. At the same time, more than a dozen tung oil jars were piled up, and more than 20 Jiangdong soldiers held torches. There was sadness in his eyes.

Lu Bu didn't even want to waste time on them, and after leaving behind a hundred riders, he immediately rushed back towards Ximen.

The army came in through the west gate, and now it is only possible to rush out through the west gate, but after going around the city for such a long time, more than half an hour has passed.

But as long as they go out, with the speed of cavalry, they can still catch up with them.

At the west gate, where the city was first charged into, after clearing out the defenders at the city gate, Cheng Lian and Xu Sheng only arranged for more than 100 guards and led them into the city.

Their idea is very simple, rush into the inner city, kill or capture the enemy army, after all, the military merit system is based on the leader or the captive as meritorious service, such an idea is understandable, who doesn't want to earn more military merit to be promoted?

Xu Sheng and Cheng Lian never imagined that not long after they left, more than 200 Jiangdong soldiers would emerge from the houses on both sides.

Holding an iron whip, Huang Gai led Jiangdong's soldiers to rush out suddenly, with a clear goal, which was to regain control of the city gate.

When Lu Bu returned with his men, the city gate here was also blocked by Huang Gai, his face was spattered with blood, and there were piles of corpses lying on the ground, including Jiangdong's children and Lu Bujun's.

Seeing Lu Bu come back after killing him, Huang Gai was not only not afraid, but laughed loudly, "It's too late, my lord has gone far!"

Lu Bu, who felt that he was being teased, flashed sharply, and rode his horse forward.

How can Huang Gai's short weapon on foot compete with Lu Bu who is riding a red rabbit horse and holding a Fangtian painted halberd?With just one blow, Huang Gai, who was experienced in hundreds of battles, was shocked and staggered back.

If it weren't for the desperate soldiers from Jiangdong who were not afraid of death, he would have been beheaded before he had a chance to adjust his figure.

Lu Bu's long halberd stabbed left and right, sweeping thousands of troops from time to time, but even Lu Fengxian, who killed people as easily as mowing grass, could not wipe out these Jiangdong soldiers who just wanted to delay time.

The cavalry behind them simply jumped off their horses and came to help with their spears, just to open the city gate quickly and pursue them.

At the gate of the city, there were so many corpses that it was impossible to even settle down, and Jiang Dong still fought to the death.

In the end, Huang Gai was the only one left, and even the iron whip was thrown away by Fang Tian's halberd. He turned around and leaned against the city gate, embracing the door bolt with both hands, spitting blood from several gunshots in his body, and still did not let go.

With fuzzy thoughts and slack eyesight, Huang Gai saw the scenes of following Sun Jian in the past to kill generals and kill enemies in a trance.

In front of me is the Jiangdong tiger that my brothers will always believe in, and behind me I have a robe that can be absolutely assured. Although there are countless minor and serious injuries, there are endless laughter.

Gilded years, iron horses and golden arms, old friends fall into dreams
Huang Gai, who was drooling with blood, raised the corner of his mouth with difficulty, "My lord, Gai is here to meet you."

When the city gate was finally opened, Gao Shun also arrived, but it was probably more than an hour since the fight from the east gate to this point.

Lu Bu still didn't want to give up, and shouted, "Rush out and hunt down Sun Ce!"

For Sun Ce, Lu Bu didn't have any extreme views. If it was someone else, he wouldn't even want to pursue him after so long, but it was the death battle of these Jiangdong soldiers that made him determined not to let Sun Ce leave alive.

Such a person, such a soldier, if the enemy today cannot be eradicated, it will become a serious disaster in the future.

When he saw Huang Gai rushing out at the gate of the city, Lin Mo, who had been at the Central Army, guessed what they were thinking. Unfortunately, only Lu Lingqi and No. [-], the sergeant who was guarding the big banner, were left beside him.

In addition, Huang Gai moved extremely fast, closing the city gate in an instant, without giving Lin Mo any time to react, he could only watch all this happen.

Feeling in my heart, all these plans should have been arranged by them during the period when Lu Bu called out to fight for generals. Zhou Yu was still a person playing with his brain, so he made a prediction in such a short time and chose the deployment of a strong man breaking his arm in order to survive. , in the end is the man who won the Battle of Chibi.

"The overall situation is settled, let's go and return to the camp." Lin Mo didn't want to stay any longer.

Guangling City has already been obtained, but Lin Mo will not rush into the city until they have completely wiped out the Jiangdong soldiers and horses in the city.

In fact, every time a city is conquered, there will be a few days for one's own troops to thoroughly investigate the enemy's forces in the city, so as to avoid the situation of ambushes of dead soldiers.

In addition, Lu Bu took the cavalry to chase and kill them, and it might be late at night when they triumphantly return.

Lin Mo, who was lying on the couch back in the camp, couldn't relax, staring at the dome in a daze.

Whether it is to accept Liu Xun or destroy Sun Ce, these are small staged goals, and it is indeed exciting news at present, but Lin Mo knows in his heart that the achievement of these small goals is ultimately for the key to the relationship with Cao Cao. The big goal of World War I.

Although Xuchang has not received any information about the mobilization of troops, he knows that this battle should start soon.

He who was still a little tired at first became more sober when he thought about these problems, so he simply got up and prepared to go to the Chinese military tent to make a staged summary.

There is a sheepskin map drawn by Lu Su in the tent of the Chinese army, which belongs to Xu and Yang prefectures.

Lin Mo looked at the sheepskin map and fell into deep thought. In terms of territory, Lord Yuezhang is already enough to compete with Cao Cao. There are six counties in Xuzhou, Peiguo in Yuzhou, plus Lujiang and Jiujiang, nine counties.

But this is only theoretical, and does not really bring benefits to one's own side, even because a lot of money has to be invested just because it has just been acquired.

For example, the flood in the Lujiang River, and the repair plan of the three counties of Langya and Dongguan, have invested a lot of money and manpower.

In terms of military strength, it is rumored that Cao Cao has an army of 20, but there should not be too many real elites. Judging from his route of dispatching troops in the Battle of Wancheng, he is indeed capable of summoning an army of 15 in a short period of time.

On Lu Bu's side, 3 soldiers were stationed in Jiujiang, and Liu Xun's soldiers in Lujiang, plus Zheng Bao and Zhang Duo's bandits, were said to be 1. Counting the [-] people in Guangling, it can barely make up [-].

In other words, Cao Cao's troops are at least twice as strong as his own.

Double! Lin Mo kneaded his eyebrows. This is not a problem of two people hitting one person. The disparity in the number has broken through the upper limit, and it is easy to form a unilateral crush.

Throughout the ages, there have been many battles in which less has won more, and the preconditions are that the opponent is too drifting or his head is temporarily taken away.

Lin Mo didn't think that Cao Cao, who had the most magnificent lineup of advisers in the Three Kingdoms during this period, would make too low-level mistakes.

"It would be great if Jia Xu could come." Lin Mo looked forward to it with a guilty conscience.

The only hope is foreign aid Yuan Shao.

If he can be dragged to rectify the government affairs of the four states and drink the Yellow River, Cao Cao should know the truth that the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's benefit.

But blindly defending is definitely not the best policy, just like this time Jiangdong also had the idea of ​​Cao Cao besieging Wei and saving Zhao. Maybe Yuan Shao still hoped that Lu Bu would fight Cao Cao to death, and finally he took the Central Plains with a surprise attack.

Lin Mo took stock of the situation in a daze, Gan Ning hunched over and walked in with difficulty, "Sir."

"Why are you here?" Lin Mo hurriedly helped him sit down.

"I heard that the master is back, so I'm here to ask about the situation on the front line today." Gan Ning scratched his head in embarrassment.

That's right, after all, today is the battle to seize the city. One-sided crushing is always a great opportunity to reap military achievements. There is nothing more worrying than letting a general who is already depressed can only lie in the camp .

Simply being idle, Lin Mo talked about everything today.

Gan Ning’s expression is very funny. When he heard that Sun Ce was tricked out with more than 2000 empty jars, he praised Lin Mo’s amazing mind; when he heard that Lu Bu fought Sun Ce, he was full of regret, and wanted to fight against the bully ;Finally, when I heard that Jiang Dong had set up a survival bureau with a broken arm in such a short period of time, I admired the soldiers' attitude towards death.

"From my master's account, this battle is more exciting than all the battles Mo Jiang fought in Jiangxia in the past few years." Gan Ning sighed.

"Don't worry, as I said, I will definitely give you a piece of military merit, just bear with it, maybe the key to defeating Cao is to be willing to prosper."

In fact, Lin Mo didn't think about how to use the tactic of surrendering. At first, he just took advantage of the situation and buried a hidden line first.

"Thank you, sir." His blood boiled after hearing the battle of Guangling, and he was ready to move after hearing what Lin Mo said. He desperately wanted Cao Cao to fight over quickly, pure warrior thinking.

The army had not yet returned to the camp, and the two sat chatting like this in the tent of the Chinese army. Lin Mo told how he mistook Lu Bu as his father-in-law, and how he accidentally assisted his father-in-law to take down Jiujiang; Gan Ning recalled the days of Yizhou and Jingzhou. The eventful years.

The heart-to-heart chat also gradually eliminated the sense of distance between the two.

Unknowingly, the sky also dimmed, and just as the oil lamp was lit, the sound of horseshoes outside the camp was heard frantically.

Master Yue Zhang is back!
When Lu Bu walked into the tent of the Chinese army, his cloak was fluttering, and the dark red spots on the armor declared the master's achievements. He sat down on the handsome chair and pounded his right fist on the handsome desk angrily, "Damn it! Played by this kid!"

"Sun Ce ran away?" Lin Mo asked Gao Shun who came in with Lu Bu.

Gao Shun nodded, "Marquis Wen and I each led a team of cavalry to pursue in two lines. We intercepted and killed many soldiers who fell behind along the way, but we never saw Sun Ce and others."

Lu Bu's face was dark, and he had no joy of winning the city at all. He always felt that letting Sun Ce go today would bring him endless troubles.

It's true to think so. Back then, Sun Jian became famous as a soldier of Jiangdong's children. Sun Ce was so young, but his soldiers were willing to die for him. The background of the two generations cannot be underestimated.

"Cheng Lian and Xu Sheng are cleaning up the hidden dangers in the city now. I plan to bring people into the city tomorrow. Can the celebration banquet be arranged properly tonight?" The mood is not very good, but the celebration banquet for the soldiers cannot be spared.

"Arrangements have been made."

As the chief bookkeeper, Lin Mo arranged the celebration banquet as part of his job, and then turned to the sergeant outside the account and said, "Send an order for the banquet."

"Here."

Not long after, roast chicken, barbecue and rice wine were arranged, and the captains also entered the Chinese army tent to have a feast with Lu Bu.

Tired all day, everyone is eating meat and drinking in large bowls, venting their joy.

However, the atmosphere seemed to be somewhat unresolved because of Lu Bu's repression.

As the commander-in-chief of this army, Lu Bu also climbed up from the bottom. Soon he realized this problem, and immediately suppressed his displeasure, preparing to heat up the atmosphere.

"Yunwen, without your ingenious plan, our army would not be able to enter Guangling City. Come, let me toast you." Lu Bu picked up the wine bowl and drank it down.

"My lord Yuezhang is too serious."

After Lin Mo also drank the wine in his glass, he smiled and said, "Actually, if there is no Ziyang's thunderbolt car, I have nothing to do."

"It's natural."

Lu Bu picked up the wine glass again, but looked at Lin Mo, "So, this first glass of wine is for our son-in-law to respect Zi Yang."

Having said that, Lin Mo felt that his reminder was a bit redundant. The old father-in-law knew it well. This was the Lu family's thanks to their subordinates, and it was another time for the soldiers to remember this important identity.

"I don't dare to take credit for my humble efforts." Liu Ye smiled and drank his wine.

Lin Mo found an interesting thing. Since Liu Ye followed his old father-in-law, he seems to laugh more than when he first met him.

"For the third cup, our son-in-law Weng respects the brothers who fought in bloody battle today!"

Lu Bu raised his glass again, respected everyone and drank it all, while Lin Mo stood up and respected everyone, which is considered a distinction.

"Thank you, Marquis Wen, and thank you, Master Master!"

Several school lieutenants laughed back.

That's right, they didn't call themselves son-in-law anymore, but master master, which proved that they recognized themselves more and more in their hearts.

After a few cups of yellow soup and Lu Bu's warm-up, they soon entered the state and started a business bragging mode, each talking about how many people were killed today, how many prisoners were captured, and how violent they were.

In the entire Chinese military camp, only Gao Shun, who was paralyzed, seemed indifferent to this, and he just ate meat quietly.

"Report!"

While drinking and drinking, a scout ran in and presented the bamboo slips in his hand respectfully in front of Lu Bu, "Marquis Wen, a letter from Jiujiang."

Jiujiang?

Could it be that Zhang Liao was in a hurry?
The noise stopped abruptly, everyone's eyes were attracted by the bamboo slip, and Lu Bu hurriedly opened the letter to check.

After a while, he chuckled lightly, "It seems that the [-] stones of food and grass are not wasted."

When everyone went in without knowing it, Lin Mo's pupils gathered suddenly, and asked quickly, "Zhang Xiu agrees to vote?"

Lu Bu nodded, "This is a letter from Zhang Xiu. He is taking more than 7000 people under his command to go down to Geyang from Nanyang and enter Jiujiang via Anfeng."

After speaking, he glanced at the date of signing, "According to the date on the letter, this meeting should have entered Anfeng."

"Jia Xu is coming too?"

"Correct."

"Wow!" After getting a definite answer, Lin Mo hit his left palm hard with his right fist.

With the arrival of the poisonous warrior Jia Xu, there is finally a ceiling-level counselor in his camp, and Lin Mo's confidence in the future battle has greatly increased.

Lu Bu just smiled slightly, he knew that Jia Xu was a person with many ideas, but in his heart, no counselor in the world could compare to his own son-in-law.

"According to the number of days, there are only three letters left in Jiujiang, and Changshan has not responded yet." Eight months have passed before I knew it.

"It's okay, after delivering it, the big deal is that Mr. Yue Zhang will write ten or eight more letters. It's not troublesome to write a letter." Lin Mo shrugged with a smile.

It's good that Zhao Yun can come, but he's not Zhang Xiu, he seems to have nothing to attract, this kind of thing can only depend on fate.

For Lin Mo, Jia Xu can come, which is already great news. People can't pursue too many things beyond their control.

However, Lin Mo was greatly encouraged by this incident, and immediately became full of energy.

Guangling City has been laid down, and there should be a month or two of finishing work, including rectifying troops, adjusting taxes, managing household registration, and appease powerful aristocratic families.

Obviously, it is impossible for me to spend so long here, and I must rush back to Pengcheng immediately to prepare for the next big battle.

In addition to these, he had to do something to make Lu Bu earn enough reputation, and he had to go back to Pengcheng.
