In the clearing in front of the barracks, rows of freshly felled tree trunks stood on the ground.The Jizhou soldiers who refused to surrender were stripped of their shirts by the Bingzhou Army and tied to them, no matter how much they cried and howled.With the passage of time, fewer and fewer people were stubborn and refused to surrender, and now there is only one Zhang Xi left.

Lu Bu heard that he had been starved and fainted several times but he still didn't bow his head. He was amazed and planned to go out to persuade him to surrender himself: "I remember this man, he is quite capable, don't hurt his life." Those who only show signs of decline in thirty or forty years can be counted.

Le Jin said helplessly: "The eldest son of the Yuan family begged for mercy, why is this guy so stubborn? Besides, how can the general of the rebel army still have the face to show his integrity?"

Lu Bu rubbed his chin, his beard, which had not been trimmed for a long time, was a little prickly, and asked, "What was his original position?"

Le Jin had already found out the details in advance, had inquired in the army, and immediately replied: "This man was recruited to join the army to fight against the Yellow Turbans during Zhang Jiao's rebellion. Because of his bravery in battle, he made great achievements in battle and became the commander of the army."

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, and tapped his fingers lightly on the table in front of him: "So, he was once Han Fu's subordinate?"

"Exactly."

"What is the relationship with Yuan Shaoke?"

"I haven't found it yet."

Lu Bu thought for a while: "There's no reason, I'll go and have a look."

Walking to the front of the barracks, there were sighted soldiers who moved the stools.Lu Bu sat up with a golden knife, and said bluntly to Zhang Yun: "I think you have some skills, why do you want to be with such a traitorous villain as Yuan Shao?"

Zhang Xi let out a "bah": "You villain who considers a thief as your father, you are not worthy to talk to me!" He was a 30-year-old big man with big arms and round waist from the north, and he was full of momentum.It's a pity that due to lack of energy and his complexion turned yellow from hunger, this reprimand seemed very weak.

Following Lu Bu, Le Jin's eyelids twitched. After all, Dong Zhuo had a dark history with the general, and he was afraid that the general would get angry and kick Zhang He.Zhang He didn't touch the rice for a long time, if he confiscated his strength, he might be kicked to death on the spot.

Unexpectedly, Lu Bu just scratched his ears, and he was not angry at all: "Oh, I recognize a thief as my father, and you betray the court, and you will not be noble. From this point of view, it seems that we have a common language."

Zhang He said angrily: "It's nonsense! I am loyal to the court, so why betrayal?"

Le Jin interjected, "Yuan Shao proclaimed himself the governor of Jizhou, and he didn't listen to the imperial court's orders. You've helped the evildoers, so why can't you be called a traitor?"

"Mr. Yuan is loyal to the imperial court, so why talk about betrayal! It's just a pity that the emperor was young and was deceived by your treacherous ministers. If you want me to surrender, don't even think about it!" Zhang Xi's face was determined, showing disdain to be with you and other villains look like.

Lu Bu was thoughtful: "So, there are really people who regard Yuan Shao as a loyal minister." It seems that the news spread by the emperor did not penetrate Jizhou at all.

Le Jin persuaded: "Today's son is an immortal Mingjun, and the people who praise him for his kindness and wisdom can go directly from Bingzhou to Luoyang City. We came here this time to help Jizhou eliminate the remnants of the Yellow Turban. You misunderstood so much, You were totally fooled by Yuan Shao!"

Zhang He looked unmoved.If it was really aimed at eliminating the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, why would they carefully plant traps to attack the Jizhou Army?

Le Jin dug out from inside his armor, and took out a newspaper that Lu Bu had the cheek to ask for: "Look, it's written in this newspaper!" Coincidentally, this issue of the newspaper talked about current affairs and politics, and talked about what the emperor had done since he came to the throne. Various measures to benefit the people and benefit the people.Le Jin stood on tiptoe and slapped him directly in front of Zhang He's face.

Zhang Xi turned his head away, Le Jin turned the direction of the newspaper persistently, and continued to yell at his face.

Zhang He let out a "bah" in anger and wet the newspaper.

Le Jin wailed, and hurriedly wiped the newspaper with his underwear: "I finally asked the general to come! If you don't read it, don't read it, what are you spraying!"

Lu Bu's face was quite impatient: "It's really a frog at the bottom of a well. If His Majesty is really incompetent, do you think I can still deceive him with my own strength?" There are Huangfusong, Huang Wan and others, and the emperor is surrounded by Huben, Commoner Guards and others. How on earth do these fools believe such an obvious lie?Even Dong Zhuo dare not say that he can control the emperor.

Le Jin looked at Lu Bu's face, and immediately shut his mouth.

Zhang He licked his chapped lips: "Hmph, you still have those colleagues Chen Gong and Xun You, don't think that we don't know anything because we are in Jizhou!"

Lu Bu had an inconceivable expression on his face: "I really never thought that one day I would be able to be compared with Xun You."

Le Jin scratched his head and said in a low voice, "General, he is not the only one who thinks so. The soldiers who surrendered in Jizhou don't even know they are rebels."

"Didn't Gongsun Zan obey the order to attack them?"

"Yuan Shao told his subordinates that Gongsun Zan was just looking for a reason to rob. In fact, Gongsun Zan really did all kinds of robbery. They never believed the rebels they called out."

Lu Bu sighed: "I didn't expect that the name after the fourth generation and the third father would be really useful." No wonder the emperor wants to start a newspaper.

Le Jinchi questioned: "General, how...how to deal with this?"

Lu Bu thought for a while: "Didn't you say that this man has great prestige in the army? Then we can't keep him here, lest things change. Let's escort him back to Beijing with Yuan Tan."

"promise!"

Just as he was talking, the scout suddenly came back on his horse and shouted loudly: "Report! The opponent is coming!"

Lu Bu's expression turned pale: "Take me Chituma!"

Not long after, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun appeared in front of the formation riding side by side.Lu Bu rode a red hare horse with no variegated colors, wearing a big red cloak, and a purple gold crown inlaid with night pearls. Behind the crown was long red pheasant feathers, which stood out among the thousands of troops.Zhao Yun was dressed in white with a white armor and a white horse, holding a silver gun, and he didn't look inferior in the slightest beside him.

Behind them, the Jizhou army and the Changshan army lined up separately, one in the formation of cones, and the other in the formation of geese.

Xu Huang has high military strength and knows the art of war well.He took a closer look and couldn't help sighing: "This place should be the place where our bones are buried."

The soldiers said: "We and the city are each other's horns, and the number is not inferior to the other side. You must not increase the ambition of others and destroy the prestige of your own."

Xu Huang shook his head: "The 5000 people we forced to recruit will collapse as soon as they charge. I can only use these 3000 people." Most of these 3000 people used to be farmers who cultivated the land. soldiers?Regardless of the value of force, just in terms of momentum, he has already lost completely.

"But in the city..."

"It would be best if we can wait until the rescue in the city, but if we can't wait..." Xu Huang said in a low voice, "Let's make a living." From the beginning of joining the Yellow Turbans, what everyone wanted was to survive.It's just a pity that the later Yellow Turban deviated from his original intention, and changed from living at the beginning to having fun by stepping on the bones of ordinary people.He has had enough of these days.

After finishing speaking, Xu Huang stepped out on his horse, raised his axe, and shouted: "Grandpa Xu Huang is here, who will fight!"

Zhao Yun said: "I'll go meet him."

Lu Bu lazily watched the two of them fighting together. After five rounds, Lu Bu involuntarily sat upright, with a lazy expression on his face: "I thought the commander of the army was a soft-footed shrimp, and he must be unbearable." One hit, I didn't expect to have some skills."

Le Jin licked the corner of his lips: "General, the people in the city haven't fought yet, could it be that they are also hiding their masters?"

Lu Buqi said: "Since you have a good player, what are you doing like a turtle?" He no longer underestimated the other party, staring at the two wrestling with each other intently, and told Le Jin: "Be good!" Watch the city gate, once the city gate is opened, we will attack the city according to the agreed strategy."

However, until Zhao Yun and Xu Huang fought for seventy or eighty rounds, Xu Huang lost to Zhao Yun and was shot down from his horse, and the city gate was not opened.

Taking advantage of the rising momentum, the Bingzhou Army and Changshan Army brazenly launched an attack on the Yellow Turban bandits outside the city according to the command of the military flag.

These yellow scarf thieves were harassed by Lu Bu and his personal soldiers every day these days. They were already exhausted, and they were more self-aware. They knew that they could not resist the god-like general in red.

The five thousand soldiers from Leping County, who were driven to be the vanguard, had no fighting spirit at all. Seeing that the life and death of their own generals was unknown, and the opponent's military strength and equipment were obviously superior, they broke up and fled immediately after being attacked.

The remaining 3000 people either took the opportunity to flee or fled towards the city gate.

"Open the door, help!"

The soldiers guarding the city were unmoved, and the gate seemed to be welded, without a single crack opening.

Those who fled to the edge of the city gate were almost desperate, shouting hoarsely: "Quickly open the door! Help!"

Zhao Yun and Lv Bu gathered together in the rebellious army, Zhao Yun asked, "What's going on? Could there be fraud in the city? Why didn't the other party come out of the city to attack us?"

Lu Bu also found it strange: "No matter what tricks they have, let's shoot the soldiers on the wall first!"

However, this time the siege went incredibly smoothly, and it was not until the city was broken that Lu Bu realized that the city was empty of troops, and Zhang Yan took the opportunity to lead a large army to escape through the back door when they were fighting!

Lv Bu made a decisive decision and shouted loudly: "Those who want to make meritorious deeds come after me!" He raised Fang Tian's painted halberd high, and around it as the center, a lot of cavalry gathered in a short while.

"Let's go!" Lu Bu rushed after him immediately.

Zhao Yun was still worried that it was the opponent's plan, so he first ordered five hundred cavalry to meet Lu Bu, lest he be caught in an ambush and no one would respond.Then he counted the prisoners and comforted the wounded soldiers. When Lu Bu came back at night, Shiyi had been arranged in an orderly manner.

Seeing Lu Bu come back, Zhao Yun hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

"Those grandsons ran so fast that they only got five hundred heads." Lu Bu regretted.

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "That's pretty good. The most important thing is that the opponent has already lost his courage. He will definitely not dare to attack Changshan County easily in the future."

"However, we have taken a lot of food, and I have already sent troops to bring it back."

Zhao Yun shook his head: "This Yan is really cowardly and greedy, and he didn't forget to eat while running for his life."

After five days of recuperation, Lu Bu said goodbye to Zhao Yun, led the army back to Bingzhou, and arranged for Le Jin to escort the captured Yellow Turban Army and Jizhou rebel leaders back to Beijing.

When leaving, Le Jin asked curiously: "General, why isn't that Yuan Tan included?"

Lu Bu shrugged: "Your Majesty doesn't want him, let Zilong handle it by himself."

Le Jin scratched his head: "That's it... Indeed, this kid is more useful in Changshan County."

"It's good to stay in Changshan as a diversion and exchange for food, but if you transport it back to Beijing, you can only consume the food in the middle of the capital." Lu Bu shrugged: "Your Majesty is smart, he does not support people for nothing."

Liu Xie is indeed living a life of careful planning, wars continue, and the consumption of military rations has remained high.And once the construction was started, the cost would go up, and if he didn't get more money to reserve, looking at the declining balance of the state treasury and private treasury, he wanted Xu Chu to dig the imperial tomb.

"What's going on in Yizhou?" Liu Xie felt aggrieved when he thought that this granary could not be used by him for the time being, "Why did Xi Zhicai overturn in Yizhou?"

The Yizhou area of ​​Bashu, which did not experience the Yellow Turban Rebellion, is where the wealth of the thirteen states in the world lies.

Considering that Yizhou is located in the southwest corner of the Han Dynasty, and the local area is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is difficult for the imperial army to arrive.Liu Xie didn't have the energy to deal with him for the time being. He only sent Xi Zhi to divide Yizhou governor Liu Yan and Wudoumi Taoist advocate Lu, and wanted to use it to provoke a struggle between the two tigers.

"For some reason, Zhang Lu's mother fell in love with Liu Yan, and Zhang Lu betrayed Xi Zhicai, resulting in Xi Zhicai being imprisoned in Yizhou governor's mansion."Poor Xizhi has a clever plan, but he didn't expect this level.Liu Xie sighed, and said to Guo Jia: "Bu Yiwei tried to rescue Xi Zhicai, but there is no news recently."

"Hey, Zhang Lu has already reached the crown, isn't his mother a 50-[-]-year-old woman?" Guo Jia asked curiously, thinking a bit.

Liu Xie didn't have the energy to continue explaining, and pointed to the note on the table.

Guo Jia stepped forward to open it consciously, and read out: "Zhang Lu's mother is good at five buckets of rice teaching magic, and has a good face. Although she is nearly fifty years old, her face is as beautiful as a young man. Often stay overnight at the governor's mansion."

There was a strange gossip smile on the corners of Guo Jia's lips, and then he said seriously: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. I see that Liu Yan appointed Zhang Lu as the superintendent Sima on the back of this note, and ordered him and another Sima Zhang Xiu to attack suddenly. Su Gu, the governor of Hanzhong, was killed by surprise. Obviously, Liu Yan was not at ease with Zhang Lu, so he deliberately let Zhang Xiu go with him. How can one mountain accommodate two tigers? There will definitely be chaos in Hanzhong. We might as well dispatch troops at this time , sent the troops from nearby Jingzhou into Hanzhong, and took advantage of their struggles to reap the benefits of the fisherman and hold Hanzhong in their hands."

Liu Xie pondered for a moment: "Hanzhong is indeed a strategically important place, and Jingzhou already has the strength to send troops, but the people we send are like a nail inserted into Yizhou after all, and it is difficult to rush to rescue in time. If Liu Yan suddenly mobilizes the army to counterattack... ..."

Guo Jia said with a smile: "The two mountains in Hanzhong stand parallel to each other and stretch from east to west. They are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The terrain of Hanzhong allows us to defend with a small number of people. Zhang Gu was killed by them, but It's all about luck and surprise. Before they can establish a firm foothold and they are about to fight among themselves, it is better for us to deploy troops quickly. As for mobilizing the army, Liu Yan must be greatly panicked by His Majesty's move, and he is determined not to dare to fight in the short term. Massively mobilize troops to besiege Hanzhong."

Liu Xie nodded and was persuaded by Guo Jia: "According to what you said, I will immediately issue an edict to let Zhang Liao lead [-] troops to Hanzhong."

After a few days, the captives Xu Huang and Zhang He both arrived in the capital.

Liu Xie thought about using them in this way, and first asked Xu Chu, who was outspoken: "Xu Chu, one of these two is the general of the Black Mountain bandit Zhang Yanshou, and the other is the army commander of the bandit Yuan Shao. You are under them or as a colleague, what do you think the court should do to not be unconvinced?"

Xu Huang, Zhang He, Zhang Liao, Yu Jin, and Le Jin are collectively known as the "Five Good Generals", and they are rare good generals in Cao Wei's army camp in the novel.Xu Huang has a complicated background. He was born as a petty official in Hedong County. He made a lot of military exploits during the crusade against bandits and was promoted to an officer. Later, because the local people were struggling to make ends meet, he had to follow his superior Yang Feng to become the Yellow Turban Army.

"Xu Huang and Yang Feng joined the Yellow Turban because they had no choice but to be loyal to me." Liu Xie thought of the warlords in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms who held an army and were loyal to the emperor, Zhang Yang, Yang Feng, Xu Huang...these people all had hearts. Kuang helped the Han Dynasty and tried his best to help the emperor get rid of the control of the powerful officials.

However, the "Xiandi Liu Xie" was not strong enough. They claimed to be loyal and loyal courtiers, and many times they did not dare to exceed their authority to do things, and they all failed in the end.
