Lu Dynasty

Chapter 679 Returning to Jizhou

I comforted Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang who came to report the letter, and let them go back.I already knew that Yuan Tan was a false surrender, so I didn't care about his betrayal.Anyway, whether it is Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang, they will all die in the end.Even if I don't kill them, they won't lose Yuan Shao's face and submit to my subordinates just to survive!

Yuan Tan is anxious and impatient with me, and Yuan Shang is also restless in Jizhou.Hearing that our army has left and returned, Yuan Shang immediately invited the judge to ask for advice. The ability of the judge is not bad, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.There are no generals around Yuan Shang who can resist our army. Even Yan Liang and Wen Chou are not brave and intrepid. As for Qu Yi, a very resourceful general, it is a pity that he is not skilled in martial arts, and he is too poor. Discord with Yan Liang and Wen Chou, it is really difficult for the judge to arrange military affairs in Jizhou!The judge thought for a while and said: "Your lord, you can order Yin Kai, the chief of Wu'an, to garrison Maocheng, open up the Shangdang grain transportation road, and order Ju Zhou to guard Handan, and come to support him from afar. My lord leads troops to attack Yuan Tan in Pingyuan. First destroy Yuan Tan, and then Destroy Lufeng!" Yuan Shang was overjoyed, and he stayed in Jizhou with Chen Lin to defend Jizhou, and ordered Ma Yan and Zhang Kai to be the vanguard, and attacked the plain overnight.

Yuan Tan knew that Yuan Shangbing was coming, so he immediately reported to me. I looked at the excited Yuan Tan and said with a smile: "It seems that I will definitely get Jizhou this time!"

Yuan Tan was shocked when he heard my words. He knew that he had gone too far, so he quickly argued: "The prime minister is wise and powerful, and winning Jizhou is what everyone expects. Tan is very happy that Jizhou has won the prime minister!"

"Really?" I looked at Yuan Tan and smiled. Yuan Tan suddenly felt chills all over his body. It wasn't until I told him to leave that he realized that his body had been soaked in cold sweat, even his armor was covered with sweat.

After Yuan Tan left, I immediately summoned the generals of the army. All the generals listened to my call very eagerly.I looked at the excited crowd and ordered: "Zhao Yun, you lead Zhang Liao to attack Yecheng, and the others follow me to attack Yin Kai!" Zhao Yun is an almost perfect general. He is not as arrogant as Guan Yu, nor as reckless as Zhang Fei. But he has martial arts comparable to Lu Bu.Zhao Yun is now in his thirties, and I am worthy of training.If he is always under my wings, he will not grow up.From the beginning, I let him handle military affairs independently in Wancheng, and now I even entrust him with the task of attacking Yecheng, because Yecheng has Yan Liang and Wen Chou!Seeing that I entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility, Zhao Yun immediately set off with Zhang Liao!
I led the troops into Yin Kai's jurisdiction, and Yin Kai immediately led his troops to drive them away.The two armies faced each other, and seeing Yin Kai, who was desperate for life, I shouted: "Feng Xian!" Lu Bu stepped forward with a tiger.Yin Kai was still a little flamboyant, but when he saw Lu Bu, he immediately panicked!You know, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are recognized as fierce generals in Jizhou. No matter how arrogant Yin Kai is, he is not so arrogant that he thinks that he is better than Yan Liang and Wen Chou, so Yin Kai thought about retreating before fighting.

Yin Kai wanted to run away, but Lu Bu would not let him go.Just when Yin Kai was in a daze, Lu Bu had already rushed towards him.When he reacted and ran away, Lu Bu's painting halberd had already hit his head.Yin Kai had no choice but to resist, but how could he have the supernatural power comparable to Lu Bu?Lu Bu's painted halberd hit Yin Kai's weapon. Yin Kai only felt a pain in his arm and lost consciousness.It turned out that Lu Bu directly smashed Yin Kai's head open. Of course, what hit Yin Kai's head was also his own weapon!As soon as Yin Kai died, the Yuan soldiers he brought with him broke up in all directions. I asked the generals to gather the defeated soldiers and organize them into a group, trained by Zhao Yun, in case of emergencies!After defeating Yin Kai, I immediately sent troops to Handan. Zhou Ang, the guard of Handan City, had already fled.
Zhao Yun was already under the city, and he fought Yuan Shangjun several times.Due to my influence, the generals of our army are very repulsed by strong attacks, and the judges are quite scheming. Zhao Yun's several designs have been seen through by him!After I led the army to arrive, Zhao Yun immediately pleaded guilty to me, saying that he had failed to capture the city and had failed my great trust.I comforted Zhao Yun a few words, and then ordered the three armies to build earth hills around the city, and secretly dig tunnels, hoping to attack the city.To be honest, there are too few ways to siege cities in ancient times, and sometimes they can only be filled with human lives.Looking at the fortified city in front of me, I decided to drag the judge to death, so our army surrounded the city. Although there was no attack on the city, it was difficult for a fly to fly out!
If our army does not attack the city, the Yuan soldiers on the city will relax.Feng Li, the guard of the east gate, was severely punished by the law for being drunk and making mistakes.Originally, the Yuan family didn't have much popular support in Jizhou, and generals with humble official positions like Feng Li were even more divided.Feng Li, who was judged and punished, held a grudge, sneaked out of the city at night to surrender to our army, and proposed to me an authentic strategy.In fact, our army has almost dug the tunnel, but we don't know the situation in the city, so we dare not act rashly.Feng Li is from the city and is familiar with the situation in the city. He told me: The soil in the east gate is thick, suitable for digging tunnels to attack.After listening to Feng Li's opinion, I asked Zhao Yun to transfer one of the surrendered troops to Feng Li, and let him use the tunnel to enter the city to meet our army.When Feng Li received the order, he felt very happy that he could not only avenge the trial and punishment, but also make meritorious service, but he didn't know that his death was approaching!
The judge would go to the city to inspect the city every day. When he went to the city to inspect the next day, he immediately found that Feng Li, the guard of the east gate, was not there. He knew that this kid was dissatisfied and probably surrendered to our army.The judge has been in Jizhou for decades, and it can be said that he knows every city in Jizhou like the back of his hand.Now that Feng Li surrendered, it would definitely lead our army to attack the city, so the judge sent someone to move his luggage to the city so that he could observe our army's movements from time to time.

At night, the judge looked at our army's camp and found that our army's lights were a little dim, and there was one place where no torch was lit.The judge pair laughed left and right and said: "Feng Li must have led Lu Feng's army to attack the city from the tunnel!" So the judge pair immediately ordered the elite soldiers to transport stones to attack the gate, and sealed the tunnel entrance. Feng Li and the people he led all died in the tunnel. middle.In desperation, I had no choice but to give up the tunnel siege.In fact, I can’t blame me for the tunnel being discovered by the commissioner. After all, the camp is too close to the city. If a torch is lit at night, the situation in the camp can be seen at a glance.If I let Feng Li enter the tunnel with a torch, the judge will still find out.I can't let the soldiers enter the tunnel early to wait, the ventilation is difficult there, a few people can go in, but hundreds of people will definitely suffocate to death!However, although the authentic strategy failed, I am not in a hurry. As long as I surround the city to death, the food in the city will always be eaten up. If Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others intercept the food, even Yan Liang and Wen Chou Nothing to do!
