Chapter 129: Out of the City
When the time comes, on the contrary, these parties in Luoyang will temporarily stop fighting and unite with the outside world.
Even if Xu You, Wang Fen and others can gather a group of people and horses to temporarily claim the emperor in Jizhou, they will definitely not be able to oppose the Han court.
After all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Han court at this time has not yet deviated from morality, and it is not so easy to disintegrate the Han court, only when the general He Jin begins to massacre political enemies in the government and the opposition for the sake of power.
When the heavens are angry and the people are resentful, it is the best period to overthrow the Han Dynasty.
But Xu You shook his head and didn't say anything about Liu Zheng.
"Qu Shuai, although it takes a lot of risk to do so, but after all, Liu Wei is the eldest son of the Han Emperor and has the right to inherit, if He Jin wants to monopolize the power, he will definitely not be able to bypass Liu Wei, if Wang Fen assassinates the history and can support Liu Wei, it may not be able to bring those ministers of the court over, and when the time comes, he will confront He Jin, and the victory or defeat is still a matter of two words."
Although Xu You felt that his plan was quite risky, it was not impossible to succeed.
Liu Zheng looked at Xu You, and after a long time, he asked rhetorically.
"Mr. Xu You, do you really want to go to Jizhou to conspire with Wang Fen?"
"If Marshal Qu allows, make a wish."
"Since you are so far-reaching, I naturally won't stop it, after all, you and I will work together to attack Luoyang, you have guarded the Tiger Prison Pass for me for so long, I will also write down this kindness, and when we leave from the Tiger Prison Pass, I am willing to give Liu Wei this kid to you and let you take it away."
Since Xu You wants to go back and conspire with Wang Fen to conspire with him, then Liu Zheng will not stop him, after all, the twisted melon is not sweet, Xu You himself is also greedy, in history, he gave up Yuan Shao to join Cao Cao and help Cao Cao defeat Yuan Shao, which is also a manifestation of greed.
The next thing is simple, since the negotiation with Xu You has been settled, then the two sides have no intention of staying in the Tiger Prison.
The gate of the tiger prison was opened, and the 20,000 troops in the city went out directly.
However, it was immediately surrounded by Lu Zhi's army outside the city.
Lu Zhi's army, after more than half a month of attack, has been reduced from more than 40,000 people to just over 10,000 people.
This does not include the county soldiers who continue to reinforce from all over the country, counting those county soldiers, the men and horses gathered on the side of the Tiger Prison Pass, originally more than 60,000 or 70,000 people, after this period of fighting, the loss of the people and horses in the Tiger Prison Pass, more than 50,000.
Because of the small number of people, these officers and soldiers did not continue to attack during this time, but waited for the support of Huangfu Song here.
At this time, Lu Zhi had also received the news from Jizhou, knowing that the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou had been defeated, and the remaining remnants of the Yellow Turban Party were no longer to worry.
When the time comes, Lu Zhi will join the armies of Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo, and he will definitely be able to defeat the remnants of the Yellow Turban Party in Tiger Prison in one fell swoop.
"Yellow Turban thief, are you planning to surrender now?"
Gongsun Zhan has always been a fierce general under Lu Zhi during this time, charging ahead, attacking several times, causing heavy losses to his men and horses, but he is brave and brave and good at fighting, which makes Lu Zhi like it.
Liu Zheng walked out of the army, and directly looked at Gongsun Zhan, although he had been away from the Tiger Prison for so long, and he had never met Gongsun Zhan, but Gongsun Zhan was very distinguishable in the crowd.
Dressed in a white robe, he sat down on a white horse, which was quite similar to the white horse general in people's mouths.
"Presumably, Your Excellency is the White Horse General Gongsun Zhan."
"I have admired the daimyo for a long time."
Liu Zheng walked out and looked at Gongsun Zhan.
At the same time, it also aroused Gongsun Zhan's curiosity.
Gongsun Zan has been fighting in the Tiger Prison Pass for more than half a month, although he has long heard of Liu Zheng's name, but he has never seen Liu Zheng himself.
It has always been Sun Xia and Xu You's people who have commanded the Tiger Prison Pass, so at this time, when the city gate was opened, a military general who Gongsun Chan had never seen came out, which naturally made Gongsun Chan very curious about who this person was.
However, Gongsun Zan was very smart, he saw Xu You, Sun Xia and others gathered behind Liu Zheng, and a clear-eyed person could see at a glance that Liu Zheng was the person with the highest status among them, and he could naturally think of the general in front of him in a yellow robe, who was Liu Zheng, the commander of this wave of yellow turban remnants in the Tiger Prison Pass.
"Your Excellency should be Liu Zheng."
Gongsun Chan looked at Liu Zheng vigilantly, although he had roughly guessed Liu Zheng's identity.
"I didn't expect General Baima to hear my name, which really surprised Liu."
"What's the matter, the famous Liu Zhengqu Shuai, did you want to go out of the city and surrender when you opened the city gate?"
Gongsun Zhan didn't pay attention to Liu Zheng's compliment, but immediately glanced at Liu Zheng coldly and asked rhetorically.
"Surrender, you also think too highly of yourself, do you think that with your current men, you can stop our charge? If we want to break through, we will rely on your more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and I don't care about it at all. ”
Gongsun Zhan's surrender made Liu Zheng scoff, and then a smile appeared on his face.
"It's not surrender, then do you want to kill yourself from our encirclement? It's not that I'm arrogant, although you Yellow Turban Dog Thieves have more soldiers than us, but it's not so easy for you ragtags to break up our tightly arranged defenses. ”
After Gongsun Zhan heard Liu Zheng's words, his face changed, but he was not arrogant enough to say that it was impossible for Liu Zheng and others to break through their defense, but that it was not so easy to break through the defense.
"I don't have much time, I don't want to talk nonsense with you, let your Zhonglang bring Lu Zhi out."
Liu Zheng didn't want to pay attention to Gongsun Zhan, so he immediately said a word to Gongsun Zhan.
"It's not so easy to see our Zhonglang generals, if you have anything to say, you can say it quickly, otherwise we will attack."
Gongsun Zhan didn't want to see Liu Zheng, so while containing Liu Zheng here, he secretly began to turn around and plan to attack Liu Zheng.
But at this time, Lu Zhi took the initiative to come over directly.
As a lieutenant general, Lu Zhi understands that Liu Zheng's gang of dog thieves will not easily rush out of the Tiger Prison, and since they have come out of the Tiger Prison, there must be something important.
After a short time, Lu Zhi stood in front of Liu Zheng and the others, Lu Zhi's face was gloomy, and he looked at Liu Zheng for a moment before continuing to ask Liu Zheng.
"I am Lu Zhi, if you have anything you want to talk to me about, just ask, if you want to surrender, I can guarantee your safety and accept your surrender."
In fact, in Lu Zhi's opinion, the Yellow Turban thieves at this time were also at the end of their rope, perhaps they already knew what happened in Jizhou, so it was normal to want to surrender at this time.
