The Three Kingdoms of the Lu family

In order to make Liu Zhang fooled, Lu Yi ordered people to spread rumors of a rebellion in Hanzhong on the second day after entering Zitong, and then ordered people to call Fei Guan to organize the city's government servants to relocate the people.

Those who moved first were all the families of Yizhou soldiers who surrendered. After packing up and saluting, they were escorted by a group of soldiers from the Bingzhou Army and retreated in the direction of Jiange.

Lu Yi even told the nobles in the city without hesitation that after the family members of the surrendered army were relocated, it would be their turn the next moment.

The entire city of Zitong immediately became chaotic. Fortunately, the military members were all ordinary people. Although it was difficult to move their homeland, they still obediently set out on the road under the threat of swords.

The rich and powerful families in the city were blown up, their foundations were all in Zitong, how could they be willing to abandon their family fortunes and enter Hanzhong.On the day when the military order was issued, many wealthy families clamored to see Lu Yi, and some scholars went to the military camp to scold Lu Yi for being cruel and not caring for the common people.

Lu Yi didn't see any of the powerful families who came to see him. Lu Yi was not so polite to those scholars who scolded him. Under the secret order, all the scholars who dared to come to the barracks to abuse him were all beaten by the soldiers who guarded the gate. .

Lu Yi's actions were suspected to have stabbed a hornet's nest in Zitong, and the beaten scholars dared not speak out, but secretly escaped from the city in the dark to join Liu Zhang.And the process was quite smooth, and the soldiers who were watching the night didn't notice it at all along the way.

It seemed that they knew that Zitong was about to be evacuated, and even the soldiers began to slack off.

This suspicion further fueled the courage of the scholars who were close to Liu Zhang in the city. On the second night, there was an endless stream of people fleeing, and even many wealthy families were afraid that they would be relocated, so they simply bought off the night watchmen and fled with their families. to the city. [

As these people fled, Liu Zhang, who was huddled in the Fushui Pass, immediately learned the news that Lu Yi was going to withdraw his troops. Liu Zhang was suspicious, and hurriedly sent several spies to Zitong to find out the news.

Unbeknownst to him, the actions of the Yizhou soldiers and spies had already been clearly monitored by the barbarians. Wang Ping came over immediately and bowed to report: "My lord, there are already Liu Zhang's spies outside the city. Shall we evacuate now?"

"Have all the people moved? Make sure that there are no ordinary people in the city!" Lu Yi smiled slightly. The weather was getting colder. At this time, he was wearing a fiery red cloak and was looking far away from the top of the city.

"The last batch of people has already set out on the road! The last general promises that there are only our soldiers in the city!" Wang Ping's answer was quite affirmative.

Lu Yi also likes Wang Ping's self-confidence. It is with this self-confidence that Wang Ping has come from a poor family step by step to where he is today. He nodded slightly. Withdraw the troops now, and don't want Liu Zhang's spies to get close to the city wall right now.

After ordering the soldiers to guard against Yizhou's spies approaching the city, Lu Yicai waved to Wang Ping to let him follow.

"What are your orders, my lord?" Seeing Lu Yi waving to him, Wang Ping thought that there was a military order to be issued, so he asked solemnly.

"Just follow me. By the way, all the most physically fit men in the army will be called over. There will be a big gift for Liu Zhang!" Lu Yi smiled faintly. With a few words from his personal guard, he led Wang Ping down the tower.

Without the people, the vast city of Zitong was empty like ghosts. Most of the soldiers were also stationed outside the city, but there were some veterans of the Bingzhou Army who shuttled back and forth on the streets. Everyone was sweating profusely. Carrying a lot of dirt. ,

Wang Ping took a sneak peek and saw a magnificent house next to the street, which was even more uneven at this time. He was immediately puzzled, and looked at Lu Yi suspiciously, "My lord, this is..."

"Don't ask, you just need to lead someone to do it!" Lu Yi interrupted Wang Ping's questioning, with a mysterious smile on his face, and then he ordered the map of the city and pointed out several places to Wang Ping.

Just at this time, a group of soldiers with big arms and round waists came over with a murderous look. They saw that Lu Yi and Wang Ping were there, and they thought there was a battle to be fought.

But after hearing Lu Yi's military order, the faces of these veteran soldiers immediately collapsed. Many of them followed Wang Ping with a sad face and dejectedly.

After being busy in the city for a whole day and mobilizing almost all the strong soldiers in the army, Lu Yi finally prepared a special gift for Liu Zhang in the city according to Fazheng's arrangement.

Then, regardless of the soldiers' complaints, he left the city immediately, and quickly withdrew his troops with the soldiers who were already waiting outside the city, heading towards the Jiange. [

There is only an empty Zitong empty city without a shadow of ghosts left.

As soon as the Bingzhou army left, spies from the Yizhou soldiers appeared in groups outside Zitong City, but no one dared to go in, for fear of encountering a trap.

After waiting for a long time, a daring spy entered the city with courage, and carefully inspected the area, but found no one!

"This Zitong is already an empty city!"

The spy was beaming, and ran to the top of the city shouting.

"Great, hurry up and inform the lord!"

When the spies outside the city heard this, some of them immediately turned around and ran towards Fushuiguan, wanting to tell Liu Zhang the good news as soon as possible.

Some people entered the city and searched around the corners. After confirming that there were really no enemies, they also smiled.

Liu Zhang, who got the report from the Fushui Pass, was even more ecstatic. Some scholars had already escaped and told the news of the Hanzhong rebellion. Liu Zhang took it for granted that Lu Yi had really retreated, and danced happily.

"Quick, send an order immediately, the old man wants to take back Zitong, and then fight Lu thief again!"

After Liu Zhang was happy, he thought of Zitong, the current master, and his heart immediately became active. Since the Bingzhou Army entered Yizhou, he lost cities one after another and lost face. Now it is rare to regain a city. Just thinking about it, Liu Zhang wants to From ear to ear.

But some people couldn't see what Liu Zhang was thinking at this time, such as Huang Quan, who said with some concern: "My lord, the Bingzhou army is cunning, and the Hanzhong rebellion is just our hearsay, so we can't do it right! I'm afraid the Bingzhou army is deceitful in withdrawing troops! "

When Liu Zhang heard this, his face became displeased, and he said firmly: "No matter what the purpose of the Bingzhou Army is, they gave up Zitong. This is a fact! I have already decided to take back Zitong immediately!"

"Then please let me lead the troops there first! If there is an enemy, I can block it, but if there is no one, the lord will not be too late!" Huang Quan was still a little worried, and thought of a compromise.

"Master, you worry too much!"

At this time, Liu Zhang was already immersed in the pleasure of regaining Zitong. Hearing this, he smiled lightly, and did not listen to Huang Quan's words. Instead, he led [-] soldiers and horses directly out of Fushui Pass, and arrived at Zitong City easily all the way.

Seeing that the gates of Zitong City were opened in all directions, dozens of spies had come to hear the news in advance and came out to pay a visit together. ,

"How about it, Mr. Huang, the old man said, it's your overthinking!" Seeing his spies coming and going freely in the city, Liu Zhang immediately laughed, and led the troops into Zitong City with their heads held high.

In Zitong City, it's not that Liu Zhang has never been here, on the contrary, he has been here many times, but never once, and this time, he was so refreshing and proud. ,

He took back the city as a victor!

However, Huang Quan was full of suspicion. He didn't believe that the Bingzhou Army would suddenly withdraw its troops after a big victory. Could it be that there was really a rebellion in Hanzhong?

After holding the spies to interrogate him again and again, Huang Quan himself went into Zitong himself. After careful inspection for a long time, he found nothing wrong, so Nai had to give up.It's just that I always feel restless in my heart, and I don't know what I missed.

Unlike Huang Quan, Liu Zhang seemed extremely happy to occupy Zitong. On that day, he even ordered to reward the three armies to celebrate the return of Zitong.

The army ate and drank for a day, and the suffocation of successive defeats was swept away. That night, Liu Zhang ordered the city gates to be closed tightly, and the whole army rested in the city.

Gradually, the Yizhou soldiers who had been exhausted for a day all fell asleep. Apart from the soldiers at the top of the city patrolling the night, the whole city was filled with the sound of snoring one after another.

However, at this moment, in a magnificent courtyard in the east of Zitong City, the ground in the courtyard suddenly trembled slightly, and then the heads of Bingzhou soldiers were exposed one by one.

This situation also happened at the other three city gates. The strangest thing is that these soldiers were still wearing the uniforms of Yizhou soldiers, but there was a black cloth strip on their shoulders.

In the courtyard, seeing groups of soldiers gathering, a school captain with a face full of flesh came out, and said in a low voice: "Come with me, if we succeed today, we will all make a great contribution!"

The rest of the crowd suppressed their excitement. Taking advantage of the darkness, they pretended to be Yizhou soldiers and sneaked into the barracks. Then they took out the kerosene and kindling they carried close to their bodies, and lit one tent after another...

The blazing fire immediately ignited violently. Inside the military tent, many soldiers were still sleeping soundly, but they were burned to death. More people ran out screaming, covered in fire, Make a terrible scream.

"Go away, go out!"

In the barracks of the Yizhou soldiers, chaos immediately broke out. Many people escaped from their tents in panic and ran around in the barracks.

"Quickly put out the fire!"

Bingzhou army soldiers pretending to be Yizhou soldiers also ran around while taking advantage of others not paying attention, setting fires everywhere, not only the barracks, but most of the buildings in the whole city. The flames seemed to burn the entire city to nothing.

The Yizhou soldiers in the city were in chaos immediately. Many people wanted to put out the fire, but there were raging fires all around. Lu Yi piled up a lot of flammable objects in the city. Swallowed alive by fire.

The prefect's mansion was Lu Yi's key target for setting fire. When the fire broke out, the entire prefect's mansion was immediately engulfed in flames. At this time, Liu Zhang was just asleep. Hearing the fire in the city from his personal guards, he was so frightened that he had no time to put on his clothes, and rushed out of the room. Look, the whole Zitong was engulfed in terrifying flames, and several soldiers were screaming in the flames.

Liu Zhang's face turned pale immediately, he fell to the ground in shock, and said in a panic, "Hurry up to put out the fire, hurry up and put out the fire!"

"My lord, I'm afraid it's too late to put out the fire. We've been tricked by Lu Zei, and now the entire city is on fire. We'd better break through quickly!"

Huang Quan rushed to Liu Zhang's side with a dirty face, his beard was burned off, he was relieved to see that Liu Zhang was fine, and then quickly persuaded Liu Zhang to break through.

Huang Quan didn't need to remind him, seeing that the city was full of fire, Liu Zhang didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he hurriedly greeted his personal guards, bursting into flames and protruding from the prefect's mansion, without stopping, he rushed towards the city gate.

At this time, the entire street was full of panicked soldiers, and Zitong had already been caught in a fire, and the police were stationed there.Those who don't want to die are rushing towards the city gate desperately, trying to escape from here.

In order to escape for their lives, many people squeezed together, and even moved knives, which undoubtedly made the chaotic Yizhou soldiers even more chaotic.

Wu Ban and the other generals wanted to stop the soldiers, but at this moment, everyone was only concerned with running for their lives, so they could not care about the military order. In desperation, the many generals in Yizhou could only protect Liu Zhang and Huang Quan, and follow along The chaotic flow of people rushed out of the city gate.

However, just after rushing out of the city gate, Wu Ban and the others had no time to be happy. Suddenly, outside Zitong City, there was the sound of war drums shaking the sky. A white horse general suddenly brought thousands of soldiers and killed him from a distance. ,

On the white horse, Zhao Yun, with a silver gun on his white horse, roared, "Here is Zhao Zilong, where is Liu Zhang, come out and die!"

"It's bitter! To meet this person, is it true that I, Liu Zhang, is destined for this?" Liu Zhang finally rushed out under the protection of Wu Ban and others. Unexpectedly, he encountered Zhao Yun ambushing here, and burst into tears.

Wu Ban also turned pale. At this time, the army was chaotic, and they were all running for their lives. Wherever they dared to fight, they all protected Liu Zhang.

From a distance, Zhao Yun saw the chaotic enemy army, and he couldn't tell who was who for a while, so he simply led his soldiers, entered from the middle of the Yizhou soldiers, cut the fleeing Yizhou soldiers into two ends, and surrounded them. The Yizhou soldiers behind hacked and killed.

The Yizhou soldiers who rushed out were in a hurry to flee for their lives. With the command of others, they fought on their own. They were either surrounded or killed outside the city.

But there were too many soldiers in Yizhou, and it was night again, and many soldiers and horses escaped, including Liu Zhang, Wu Ban and others.

After fleeing all the way, when they heard the shouts of killing gradually receding, Liu Zhang, Huang Quan and others were also tired from running, and stopped at the foot of a hillside, wanting to take a rest and gather the soldiers.

However, at this moment, near the hillside, there was another cry of killing, and thousands of Bingzhou troops came out again. This time, it was Li Yi who led the troops. It's just slashing and killing.

Liu Zhang turned pale in shock, especially when he saw that Li Yi was leading the army, so he didn't dare to fight, and the soldiers and horses didn't care about restraining, but ran towards Fushui Pass at high speed.

After running all the way again, Liu Zhang couldn't run anymore when he heard the shouts of killing. He could only make people stop and take a rest for a while, and some scattered soldiers kept coming to join him.

Liu Zhang's frightened heart gradually calmed down, and he turned to the sky and cursed: "Tie Lu, if the old man can survive today..."

"Kill, my lord lives, capture Liu Zhang alive!"

Just as Liu Zhang was swearing, suddenly, several torches appeared again in the dark night, and thousands of Bingzhou troops suddenly came from a distance.

"Not good, my lord, let's go!" Before taking a breath, seeing the Bingzhou army coming out again, Huang Quan had the heart to vomit blood, and hurriedly asked his personal guards to carry Liu Zhang on his back. A group of defeated soldiers fled for their lives at high speed again. ,

During this period, a large number of Bingzhou troops continued to appear along the way. They all took advantage of the rest of the Yizhou soldiers to cut them into two sections, and then surrounded the enemy soldiers behind them to fight.

Liu Zhang was so frightened that he didn't dare to stay any longer along the way, he could only run wildly all the way towards Fushui Pass, but he didn't know that there was always a group of soldiers not far from where he was escaping, falling far away. behind.

Seeing that Liu Zhang was approaching the Fushui Pass, the loud shouts had already alarmed Wang Lian, the guard of the Fushui Pass. Seeing Liu Zhang's defeat and running towards the Fushui Pass, Wang Lian was shocked. , Hastily ordered someone to open the door, wanting to let Liu Zhang in.

Then at this moment, when Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses were still several miles away from Fushuiguan, Lu Yi, who was hanging behind the Yizhou soldiers, also got the news.

The reason why he didn't attack Liu Zhang in the first place was because he waited for Wang Lian at Fushuiguan to know the news of Liu Zhang's defeat. Immediately yelled and ran wildly,

More than [-] cavalry in the army were also sent out by Lu Yi, and they were the first to charge Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses. When the Yizhou soldiers appeared, they also rushed out from the flanks and entered the Yizhou soldiers.

But neither Lu Yi nor Wang Ping's purpose was to encircle these Yizhou soldiers. In fact, it was impossible to encircle them in the dark.

All Lu Yi had to do was to bite Liu Zhang tightly. If he could find Liu Zhang, it would be best to kill him. If not, he could also follow him and enter the Fushui Pass. ,

It's just that they sent several waves of troops in a row, but they didn't find any trace of Liu Zhang and others. Lu Yi immediately concluded that Liu Zhang must have hid among the pawns without revealing his identity.

In this way, although Liu Zhang was able to protect himself to the greatest extent, it still prevented Wang Lian from Fushuiguan from closing the city gate without authorization.

really.After the Fushui was closed, Wang Lian saw a mass of Yizhou soldiers being chased and fled into the Fushui Pass. For a while, he couldn't tell whether Liu Zhang had entered or not, so he didn't dare to close the city gate without authorization.

At this time, Lu Yi had already led the troops and drove groups of Yizhou soldiers to the Fushui Pass, only a few hundred steps away from the city.

When Fushui was closed, many soldiers immediately panicked, and a lieutenant rushed to Wang Lian's side, saying in a panic, "General Wang, the Bingzhou army is coming, let's close the city gate!"

When Wang Lian heard this, he closed his eyes in pain, and said bitterly: "My lord is among the pawns, if we close the city gate, but my lord is blocked outside, aren't we sinners!"

"But general, if we don't close the city gate, the Bingzhou army will come in!" The deputy general shouted in panic, and wanted to order to shoot arrows.

Outside the city, Lu Yi didn't care what the guards in the city thought. As soon as they saw the city gate opened, they immediately ordered the soldiers to charge. Together with the enemy army, they rushed to the gate of the city,

On the city wall, many Yizhou soldiers have changed colors, and the lieutenant has repeatedly tried to order to shoot arrows, but the sky is dim, who knows if Liu Zhang will be inside, if Liu Zhang is killed by mistake, it will be a crime .

Even after such a hesitation, the [-] or so cavalry charging in front had already entered the pass, and the infantry in the back also continued to swarm in along the opened city gate...
