The cavalry led by Huang Zhong only took more than an hour to come to the vicinity of Jizhou City. Looking at the outline of the city in the distance, Huang Zhong ordered the command troops beside him to slow down.

Although the three military commanders who accompanied the army had higher official positions than Huang Zhong, because Huang Zhong was the vanguard of Han Zhan's personal seal, they had to obey Huang Zhong's orders. A man named Pu Taojun Sima came to Huang Zhong's side, and asked him respectfully: "Huang Junhou, now that we are not far from Jizhou City, should we open the city gate overnight, or wait for dawn to enter the city?" ”

Huang Zhong turned his head to look at Pu Tao, and replied, "Master Hou ordered us to open the city gate, where can we wait until dawn!" He arched his hand at the other party and continued, "I don't have a Jizhou accent, I'm afraid that the defenders of the city will hear the flaws, and I'll have to trouble Pu Sima to open the city gate later." ”

Seeing that Huang Zhong was so polite to himself, Pu Tao said unequivocally: "Please rest assured that Huang Junhou will definitely earn money in person." ”

When the cavalry came to the city, Huang Zhong looked at the five-zhang high city wall and the two-zhang wide moat, and thought to himself: "Such a strong city, if Pu Sima was recognized by the defenders when he won the city, he would not be able to break through it with his own 3,000 cavalry." ”

Huang Zhong was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard someone in the city asking loudly, "Where are you soldiers and horses?" ”

Pu Tao hurriedly rode his horse to the forefront of the team, stood by the moat, looked up at the city wall and said loudly: "We are the subordinates of General Zhang Junyi, and we were ordered to come to the rescue of Jizhou?" ”

"Nonsense!" A loud voice suddenly came from the city: "My lord Ming ordered Zhang He to attack Guangping City, when did you come to the rescue of Jizhou?" ”

Pu Tao's heart couldn't help but panic, he never dreamed that someone in the city would know about Yuan Shao's order. But fortunately, he was clever enough, and after a short panic, he asked loudly at the city: "I don't know which general is in the city?" ”

Soon the loud voice came from the city: "Chun Yuqiong, the general under the command of the lord!" ”

"It turned out to be General Zhong Jian," Pu Tao's heartbeat finally returned to normal when he heard the people in the city reveal his identity, "I am the military Sima Pu Tao under General Junyi, and the last time the general accompanied the lord to inspect the pavilion, I also had a relationship with the general." ”

Chun Yuqiong has been unpopular since he was exchanged by Yuan Shao for Geng Wu Min Chun, so much so that this time Yuan Shao did not take him with him when he went to the boundary bridge, but just asked him to stay and assist Tian Feng to defend the city. Just now he saw a cavalry coming towards the city, and he was afraid that it was the troops sent by Han Zhan to attack the city, so he ordered the officers and soldiers under the city to make preparations. At this moment, when I heard the person below report his name, it was actually a military Sima I knew, and my vigilance naturally lowered: "It turns out that Pu Sima, I don't know what you are doing in Jizhou?" ”

"General Hui Zhongjian," Pu Tao under the city said respectfully: "Yesterday, the lord sent someone to send a letter to my general, saying that the troops in Jizhou City were empty, and ordered him to send reinforcements quickly. The small one was ordered by my general to come to Jizhou. ”

Hearing Pu Tao say this, the doubts in Chun Yuqiong's heart went a little bit. Although he has now been snubbed by Yuan Shao, and many confidential things cannot be known, he still knows about Yuan Shao sending someone to deliver a letter to Zhang He for two days in a row, so he thinks Pu Tao's words are true. However, for the sake of safety, he still lay down on the battlement and said below: "Pu Sima, it is getting late, you should rest outside the city for the night first, and then enter the city tomorrow when it is dawn." ”

Pu Tao planned to keep Chun Yuqiong out of the door, and hurriedly complained: "General Zhong Jian, after receiving the letter from the lord, my general immediately ordered me to rush to Jizhou as soon as possible. The brethren have been on the road for a day and a night, and now they are sleepy, so I beg General Zhong Jian to make it convenient for us to go into the city to rest. ”

If Chun Yuqiong was a thoughtful person, he might have sent someone to find Tian Feng and ask him what was said in the two letters sent by Yuan Shao to Zhang He. He saw Pu Tao pleading bitterly, and then thought that there were only 800 soldiers in the city, and if there were a few thousand cavalry, even if the enemy attacked, it would be enough to resist.

Thinking of this, Chun Yu Qiong shouted to the soldiers standing aside: "Put down the drawbridge, open the city gate, and let the cavalry outside enter the city." ”

As soon as the drawbridge was lowered and the city gate was opened, Pu Tao, who was standing at the front of the team, restrained the smile on his face, raised the weapon in his hand, and shouted: "Kill!" He quickly crossed the drawbridge, stabbed the soldiers by the door, and took the lead in rushing into the doorway.

Seeing the cavalry roaring into the city, Chun Yuqiong, even if he was a fool, understood that he had been fooled, he shouted and rushed down the slope with his weapon. When the two cavalrymen saw Chun Yuqiong coming down from the city tower, they knew that he was a big official, so they hurriedly urged the horse to come over and try to take him down so as to make a great achievement.

Seeing the two cavalrymen rushing over, Chun Yuqiong shouted hello, stood in place and did not dodge, and stabbed at the cavalry who rushed in front and picked him off his horse. But the great inertia caused him to take several steps back in succession, so that he accidentally dodged the saber cut by another cavalryman. He turned on the spot and struck back with a return pistol, stabbing the horseman off his horse as well.

Chun Yuqiong did not go to check on the two cavalrymen who had dismounted, but turned over and got on his horse, holding a gun in both hands and rushing towards the cavalry who were pouring into the city. The cavalry who was rushing towards the city, did not expect that a fierce general of the Yuan army would be killed in the oblique stab, and in a moment's effort, four or five cavalrymen were picked off by him, and they were casually swept under the iron hooves by the horses behind.

"Chun Yuqiong is so rampant, eat me with a knife!" Just as Chun Yuqiong was brandishing a spear and stabbing in the cavalry ranks, suddenly there was a roar next to him, and a man who looked like a military marquis rushed towards him with a big knife in his hand.

Chun Yuqiong saw that the other party was just a military marquis, and guessed that the other party's martial arts were limited, so she didn't take him to heart at all. Seeing the big knife in the opponent's hand slashing down at him, he just raised the gun with both hands and pointed it upward, ready to block the opponent's weapon and stab him to death with one more shot.

Who knew that after the piercing sound of gold and iron, Chun Yuqiong knew that he had underestimated the enemy, and the opponent's knife almost shattered his own mouth. The man saw that the knife did not work, and hurriedly used the second move, this time Chun Yuqiong did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and hurriedly put the gun up and tried his best to take the opponent's knife.

He thought that even if he couldn't defeat the other party, he could at least maintain an undefeated state. Who knew that after only five or six rounds, he found that he was wrong again, this person's martial arts were not under Zhao Yun. He had the intention of turning his horse and fled, but when he saw that there were enemy cavalry all around, he could only continue to fight with this marquis.

Huang Zhong slashed out more than a dozen knives in a row, beating Chun Yuqiong in a hurry, he spotted a gap, slapped the other party off the horse's back with the back of the knife, and then ordered his subordinates: "Come on, tie him up!" ”

Chun Yuqiong, who fell off the horse, was desperate at the moment, thinking that he had been won by Han Zhan's subordinates twice to open the city gate in just ten days, and he had also captured himself alive twice. Even if Han Zhan lets himself go again this time, it is better to let them slaughter themselves with a knife than to let them go back and have no face to see people.
