The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 119
Twenty thousand Qingzhou troops were stationed outside Zhongli City.

Chengtou Shouchun did not dare to relax even for a moment, his eyes stared nervously at the camp in the distance.

The difference in numbers between the two sides was nearly a hundred times, not to mention that it was Lu Bu who led the army to besiege the city.

No one thinks they can defend Zhongli.

The only reason why the defenders did not give up was that Zhong was not far from Shouchun.

As long as Shouchun sent reinforcements, they would still have a chance.

Lu Bu came here by coincidence.

Two days before he arrived in Zhongli, Huainan General Lu Mian happened to come to Zhongli to inspect the defense.

Before Lu Mian could leave, Zhongli was surrounded by Lu Bu.

At the top of Zhongli City, Lu Mian looked at the army outside the city with a very ugly expression on his face.

Seeing with his own eyes that Lu Bu sent two troops towards Shouchun, his face turned ashen.

"General, do you want to send someone to Shouchun..." the captain next to him reminded in a low voice.

"Zhongli is surrounded by buckets, who can rush out in front of Lu Fengxian?" Lu Mian asked.

The captain lowered his head and said nothing.

With a gloomy face, Lu Mian was silent for a long time before ordering the captain: "Send the order, open the city gate, and welcome Lu Wenhou to enter the city."

He suddenly ordered to open the city gate to welcome Lu Bu, and the captain was taken aback: "General, this..."

"Knowing that Zhongli can't be defended, but still insisting on defending this city, I really can't think of any other way of saying it except being stupid." Lu Mian sighed: "Send the order."

After giving the order, he turned and walked down the wall.

Watching his back, the captain felt that he suddenly seemed to be much older.

It was completely dark, and the army outside the city was stationed on the spot.

Although Lu Bu did not give the order to attack the city, the soldiers defending the city still felt the pressure from the big camp that made them almost suffocate.

The heavy oppression made every defender feel uncomfortable.

Some people even untied their armor, trying to breathe out the breath that was pent up in their chests.

However, the feeling of oppression did not come from the restraint of the armor, and the untied armor did not make the soldiers feel much easier.

The guards were so depressed that they almost went crazy, and Lu Mian's order was passed down.

Open the city gate to welcome Lu Bu into the city...

When the order was issued, many defenders even wondered if they heard it wrong.

The school lieutenant who sent the order ran along the top of the city, and the eyes of almost every defender followed behind him.

At first the defenders did not understand what was going on.

The captain shouted while running: "The general has an order, open the city gate to welcome Lu Wenhou!"

After more than ten calls in succession, the defenders finally understood that they had heard correctly, the captain's call was indeed to welcome Lu Bu into the city.

Once Lu Bu attacked the city, Zhongli would destroy the city and kill everyone.

Opening the city gate and surrendering, the two sides did not fight, so Lu Bu should not have the idea of ​​killing.

The soldiers who took their lives breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, the gate of Zhongli city opened slowly, and a few fast horses rushed out from the city.

The few people who left the city rode their horses and swung their whips, and rushed towards Lu Bu's camp.

Lu Bu hadn't fallen asleep yet, and was talking with Xun You in the tent.

There was a low table in front of each of them.

Xun You picked up the teacup and took a sip: "How many days does Wen Hou think it will take Huainan?"

"At most three to five months, at least one or two months." Lu Bu shook his head helplessly: "Although our army is still quite large, and our military appearance can be regarded as clean-up, but the armor is broken and the weapons are outdated. Coupled with the fact that the soldiers have not had enough to eat for a long time, it is true that they will lose some energy to fight the enemy. If..."

"Wenhou needless to say, the weapons are already on the way." Xun You interrupted him: "In a few days, someone will send them to Zhongli."

Lu Bu originally planned to leave the army in Zhongli for training, waiting for the military equipment and food allocated to him by Xun You to arrive.

Inviting Xun You to command the tent was precisely to remind him that it would be difficult for the army to continue advancing without weapons.

Xun You is really discerning.

Before Lu Bu could speak clearly, he had already opened his mouth to raise his weapons and he would arrive at Zhongli in a few days.

"It's easy to handle when you have weapons." Lu Bu chuckled and held up his teacup: "I don't dare to drink alcohol because of important military affairs. First, I will pay homage to Duke Xun with tea instead of wine. Thank you for your help."

"Wen Hou is doing things for the lord, and taking Huainan will end the lord's thoughts." Xun You also picked up the tea cup: "I don't have the ability to allocate so many weapons, food and grass, and it is my lord who really helps Wen Hou. "

"Grand Cao Ende, I have no teeth to forget!" Lu Bu responded, and took a sip of tea from the cup facing Xun You.

Just as the two of them put down their glasses, the guards outside the tent reported: "General Lu Mian of Huainan sent someone over, saying that he is willing to open the city gate to welcome Wen Hou!"

"I thought he could hold on for at least two days." Lu Bu laughed, "I didn't expect to send someone here to surrender tonight."

"Wen Hou didn't suspect that Lu Mian might be cheating?" Xun You asked.

Lu Bu curled his lips: "If there are more than 200 defenders in the city, I will really be suspicious. But they only have three to two hundred people. Even if they cheat, what can they do to me?"

Xun You nodded.

Not to mention that Lu Bu would lead an army into the city, even if he was the only one who entered the city, three or 200 people would not be taken seriously.

"Bring people in!" Lu Bu ordered.

Not long after, the guards brought a Huainan Military Academy lieutenant into the tent.

Lu Bu looked at the captain standing in front of him: "I remember that Lu Mian is the general of Huainan, how could he be in Zhongli?"

"The general came to Zhongli to inspect the defense two days ago, and before he could leave, Wen Hou led his troops to surround this place." The captain lowered his head and replied.

"It's really a coincidence that I came here." Lu Bu pouted and smiled: "I just planned to take Zhongli down, but I didn't expect to stop the general of Huainan here."

He looked at Xun You, and smiled brighter: "If we are a step late, wouldn't Lu Mian run away?"

"Winning Zhongli can make such a contribution. Wenhou's crusade against Huainan this time will definitely be a great achievement." Xun You responded accordingly.

Lu Bu laughed, stood up and said to the captain, "Go back and tell Lu Mian, I will enter the city soon."

The Huainan Military Academy lieutenant withdrew.

Lu Bu then ordered: "Send an order, let the soldiers pack up and follow me into the city."

When the military order was issued, the soldiers who had already settled down set up their tents one after another.

It didn't take long for the tents in the barracks to be dismantled.

The school captain who was ordered to offer the city to Lu Bu returned to Zhongli, and he went directly to the government.

After Lu Mian left the city, he returned directly to the government.

He closed the door tightly and told the guards not to disturb anyone unless there was news from outside the city.

The school captain who had seen Lu Bu hurried over.

The guards questioned the purpose and let him go.

The captain came to the door of Lu Mian's room and said, "Report to the General, Lu Bu has agreed to lead the army into the city to accept the surrender."

Lu Mian's vicissitudes and hoarse voice came from the room: "Understood, you go to greet her."
