The time has reached the beginning of the third year, but many people have not woken up at all, and the major events of death and life are in front of them. 3

The drums of war were rolling, and the melodious horns rose to the sky, almost blasting a hole in Chaoge City, and a loud hiss struck the sky, as if it was about to tear apart the haze of the day.

However, the dilapidated Chaoge City of loess is still standing, and the Yuan army that unexpectedly entered Hanoi this time kicked the iron plate, and the strict defense and stubborn resistance nailed 30,000 Yuan troops to the Chaoge City alive, and they could not enter an inch.

"I didn't expect this Xu Huang to be a rare general!" Feng Ji looked at the silver Chaoge City, watched Yuan Jun attack it, and repelled it, and praised it from the bottom of his heart, but there was a certain taste of loss in his voice.

It was this young man named Xu Huang who saw through his surprise attack strategy, and after days of strong attacks, the dilapidated Chaoge City was miraculously solid after Xu Huang's wheel was watered into ice.

A small city guarded by only 3,000 people, the dilapidated city walls, under the unexpected blow, can still withstand to the death, a little-known countryman is a rare general, the sensitive Feng Ji is already reflecting on whether the lord's large-scale invasion of the state will achieve good results. Although there is no news from the north, Feng Ji always has an ominous premonition in his heart, this time, it seems that it is going to be planted!

Wen Chou snorted coldly: "The people in the city, they should almost die, I see what else he can fight!" After saying this, he ignored Feng Ji, who was the commander, and strode away.

Behind him, a tall flag-bearer carried a large pennant and followed closely.

Feng Ji frowned, glanced at Chao Gecheng, and returned to the big tent wordlessly.

Xu Huang, the guard of Chaoge City, was originally Liu Feng'an's person in charge of guarding Jizhou in Hanoi. Although Xu Huang is one of the seven partial generals signed by Liu Bei, he is the second-to-last in terms of seniority, except for Zhao Yun, who has more experience than Zhao Yun, who single-handedly went to Hongnong, and has been mixed in the Xiyuan Army for a few days, he can no longer find more shadows, Xu Huang and Zhao Yun also joined Liu Bei's account at the same time.

Even though Feng Ji wanted to know more about Xu Huang's information, he couldn't find more.

Little people, naturally no one pays attention to him.

It is said that this Xu Huang was also a soldier of the lord Yuan Shao, but the lord didn't know him, and finally left Luoyang with Liu Feng to vote for Liu Bei. In the past few years, although his military rank has continued to rise, except for the rumors of bravery and good fighting, I have never heard of him making any contributions.

Some people speculate that the reason why this little-known young man was able to suddenly occupy a high position was only because he was Liu Feng's person, just like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were Liu Bei's closest people, just because Liu Bei's father and son were cronyistic.

If someone dares to say such things now, Feng Ji will not hesitate to order him to be pushed out and beheaded!

Liu Bei's father and son, they have such a sense of knowledge, and what kind of courage they have when they are in the army, I am afraid that this time the lord will return in vain, and the prestige of Liu Bei's father and son ......

Compared with Feng Ji's calm appearance, Wen Chou, who went to the front line every day to command the siege, was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and no one knew how many soldiers he had personally cut down the soldiers who were afraid of battle, but in addition to adding more souls under Chaoge City, he still couldn't advance an inch. Several times, Wen Chou even rushed to Chaoge City single-handedly and called Xu Huang to come out and compete with him, but Xu Huang shot him back directly.

For the scolding of Wen Chou's city, Xu Huang even wrote a big pennant, and wrote: There are many heroes in Hebei, and they are used to learning to scold!

was so angry that Wen Chou screamed, and now even the people who were called to the city to scold the formation were embarrassed to scold anymore, and started to fight directly. However, Feng Ji gave Wen Chou an idea, and he also made a big pennant in the same way: and the state is a good son, shrink his head and be the eighth king!

That is, the things that Wen Chou must bring to the front line every day, his original general flag is not used now, and this scolding pennant has become his general flag, and the flag is where the person is, so easy to recognize.

So there was such an interesting scene in the upper and lower parts of the city, and the besiegers and defenders actually fought a pen battle above and below the city. It's just that this time, Xu Huang, who thinks he is smart, is lifting a stone and hitting himself in the foot, Yuan Jun can not learn to scold the street, just attack the city directly every day, but he still has to shrink in the city and dare not come out to fight. Especially because of Liu Feng's insistence, and the state has to teach the soldiers to read and write whenever they have leisure, and the literacy rate of the state soldiers is several times higher than that of Yuan Jun, which is equivalent to others scolding themselves, but they can't scold others, Xu Huang shouted that he made a mistake.

Of course, if it's just a scolding formation, then forget it, the enemy is outnumbered, and going out to fight is tantamount to death, everyone understands this truth. However, the attacks of the Yuan army were round after round, relying on dozens of times the number of people to defend the city, and the siege of the city did not stop every day, Xu Huang did not know how long he could hold out.

A few times, Xu Huang almost wanted to close the city gate, and secretly retreated while it was dark, but he was very unwilling, and finally gritted his teeth and survived, his soldiers were fighting less and less, but the days passed day by day, but the reinforcements that were expected every day never appeared, and Chaoge City was already surrounded by water, and I didn't know if there were any reinforcements!

Since he was put into Liu Bei's account, Xu Huang's military position has been continuously promoted, but in fact, he does not have many military merits, others don't say it, Xu Huang himself knows that many people are actually dissatisfied with themselves. However, he didn't have much chance to shine, and it wasn't until Liu Feng attacked and killed Wang Kuang that he was asked to come to Hanoi to keep an eye on Yuan Shao. Originally, Xu Huang was full of expectations and hoped that he could show something to set the record straight, but Yuan Shao didn't come to fight, and stayed in Hanoi for a few months. It wasn't until Sun Ce robbed the grain and grass sold from Jingzhou to Bingzhou that Xu Huang was keenly aware that Yuan Shao should make a move!

It was also thanks to his full preparation, Feng Ji wanted to carry out a sneak attack, but as soon as the army arrived at Chaoge City, he let Xu Huang block it, so it didn't cause a big disaster.

"Die!"

Swinging a knife to cut off a junior colonel Yuan Jun who climbed up, Wen Chou's huge head protruded under the city again, and connected with the nasty pennant, Xu Huang spat sullenly, and a few more Yuan Jun climbed up.

"Water!" Xu Huang shouted, grabbed a dead body of Yuan Jun, pulled out a feather arrow, and smashed it towards Yuan Jun who climbed up, and immediately smashed one over and rolled down the city.

There was a "bang" behind him, and more than a dozen people carried a door panel, braved the arrows of Yuan Jun, and slowly crossed buckets of ice water floating with thin ice on the city head mixed with ice slag, and before it could flow under the city wall, it had become ice.

"Whoosh-" Yuan Jun's arrow came at the right time, and the door panel above Minling's head was stabbed, but he still couldn't get in, and calmly retreated.

"Xu Huang, shrinking turtle, there is a kind of come down to fight with Lao Tzu!" Wen Chou saw Xu Huang throw his soldiers down one by one, and he was so angry that he screamed.

Xu Huang snorted coldly, and the demonstrator grabbed the mutilated corpse of a Yuan soldier from the chop mouth of the city, lifted it high, and smashed it towards a Yuan soldier who was climbing up. 3

"Bastard! Xu turtle, Lao Tzu must slaughter you with his own hands, and the corpse will be broken into thousands of pieces! Wen Chou gritted his teeth and scolded, a feather arrow was impartial, flying towards the door in front of him, Wen Chou's eyelids didn't blink, the big knife in his hand slashed down, turned over and dismounted, and shouted, "Damn, those who are not afraid of death are with Lao Tzu!" ”

This time, he was going to board in person!

"Kill!"

The soldiers on the left and right roared excitedly, and the pennant behind them danced even more wildly.

"Bell-bell-bell-bell———"

A crisp sound of gold sounded in his ears, Wen Chou was stunned, his eyes were cracked, and he scolded: "Which bastard knocked it!" ”

"General, the governor asks you to go back!" A sweaty colonel rushed over and shouted.

"What the fuck is going on?" Wen Chou raised his feet and took two steps forward, but the soldiers on both sides dragged the corpses of their respective companions back, roaring angrily.

The little colonel's neck shrank, and his legs fell to his knees: "The governor didn't say anything, didn't say ......"

Xu Huang tightened the war knife in his hand, slowly wiped the blood stain on it on the dead body of a Yuan soldier, looked back, the dead and wounded on the city tower were resting, and all the living were standing unsteadily, frowning, and put the war knife into the sheath heavily.

Feng Ji stared at the crumbling Chaoge City and sighed helplessly.

"Governor, Lao Tzu is about to board, why Mingjin withdraws his troops!" Wen Chou shouted loudly, and the big knife in his hand poked heavily into the ground and stood on the ground.

"We can't beat this city." Feng Ji said lightly, and he didn't care about Wen Chou's rudeness.

"Can't beat it? Why? Wen Chou was stunned, and he was very strange, don't look at what he said just now, but he knew in his heart that he would personally go to the city to attack the battle, and it was impossible to take down Chaoge City today, but the possibility of injury was much greater.

"Newspaper—"

Before Feng Ji could answer, a horse flew over, and immediately the rider shouted loudly.

The two personal soldiers greeted him, buckled the galloping horse, and helped the few prostrated riders down, "Report, report to the governor, Liu Beijun is ten miles away!" The rider gasped and said clearly.

"Liu Beijun, damn, it's finally here!" Wen Chou was stunned and shouted at any time.

"Gao Xiang!" Feng Ji ignored him and named another person.

"The last general!" A sturdy general came out of the ranks and responded respectfully.

"You lead the men and horses of the headquarters, and then go to attack the city!"

"No!"

Gao Xiang took the order and went to rectify the people.

"Wen Chou!" Feng Ji called Wen Chou, his voice was faint, but there was an irresistible majesty.

"In!" Wen Chou's spirits perked up and he answered loudly.

"You lead the men and horses of your headquarters to meet the enemy in the field of Yundu three miles away, and you must not delay!"

"No!" Wen Chou was overjoyed, and he hugged his fist with Feng Ji and saluted, but he didn't ask Liu Beijun who led the troops, pulled out the big knife, and turned around and ran down. Wen Chou's status is actually not lower than Feng Ji, but this time Yuan Shao is making Feng Ji the main coach to preside over the Hanoi Raiders, although Wen Chou is dissatisfied in his heart, but he only mutters two sentences, and sometimes he may collide with Feng Ji, but Feng Ji's call is never ambiguous, and his person is very brave, and he does not let others under Yan Liang. It is precisely because of this that Feng Ji turned a blind eye to his vulgarity and didn't care about it.

Towards the head of the song city, Xu Huang frowned, watching a Yuan army gallop away, the corners of his mouth curved, a smile floated up, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

~~~ Let's watch the first release of the literature network, please support genuine reading, support the author's creation~~~

……

Within ten days, Yuan Shaoqin led the army south, and quickly connected five cities to Jinyang.

"Phew!" Guan Yu turned the Songmu case into pieces of powder and flew down with a single punch, and his face was full of anger, "Xu Jin, if you fall into Guan Mou's hands, you will be broken into pieces!" ”

The dozens of scribes in the hall all changed color, looked at each other, and did not dare to say a word. With the advance of the Yuan army, Yu County ordered Xu Jin to disobey Guan Yu's order, refused to burn the grain and grass materials in the city, opened the door and surrendered to Yuan Shao, and also sent a petition for guilt, saying that Yuan Shao was unstoppable, and what he did was only to protect the people of Yu County from the scourge of swords.

The implication is that if Yuan Shao can really gain a foothold in the state, he will just change his court.

Guan Yu's anger can be imagined.

Zhong Xuan's face did not fluctuate in the slightest, he glanced at everyone indifferently and smiled slightly. It has only been five days since receiving the Yanmen Change, Zhong Xuan did not expect that Yuan Shao's march would be so fast, and the plan would be so thorough, and now Jinyang is lonely, and I don't know if there is any Yuan Shao's internal response, he is actually worried in his heart, but he has never revealed it. Seeing that everyone was colorless, he saluted Guan Yuping, and said slowly: "Second general, the people in the city are unstable, and the second general is going to lose an inch for a moment's anger!" ”

At this time, it was not the time to blame the anger for calculating the accounts of the Autumn Queen, seeing that Guan Yu was so angry, Zhong Miao had to remind him, but he was afraid that he would really be angry and use thunderbolt methods, and it would be difficult to clean up.

In fact, if this Yuxian Ling Xu Jin was really forced to be helpless, Zhong Xuan would not blame him much, after all, Yuxian County is such a small place, and it can't stop Yuan Shao's army at all. And once the grain and grass and military funds are burned, it is very likely that it will anger Yuan Jun and harm the people of Yuxian County. It's just that this excuse should be the handwriting of Yuan Shao's advisers, but Xu Jin wrote it himself, but it was unkind!

"Hmm!" Guan Yu also understood Zhong Xuan's thoughts, and responded in a deep voice, his eyes were blazing, he glanced at everyone, and said proudly: "Since my brother has been in charge of the state, he has not treated the princes badly, today Yuan Shao lost the alliance, taking advantage of my army to recruit Dong Zhuoxing's troops to invade the territory, my brother was in Luoyang for a while, Guan was ordered to defend the city, but there was no reason to teach Yuan Shao to succeed, I hope that the princes and Guan will work together to resist the strong enemy, and when the brother returns, he will not forget the great virtues of the princes!" ”

These people are the wealthy nobles in Jinyang City, and there are hundreds of slaves in the family, and there are thousands of them, which is the result of Liu Bei's leniency and less human trafficking.

After saying this, Guan Yu clasped his fists and shook with everyone. He was born in poverty, and when he was young, he was bullied by the noble and wealthy families, so that when he was young, he actually killed people in a rage, and then he fled to Youzhou to meet Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. This time, he was able to bow down, firstly, he looked at Zhong Xuan's face, and secondly, he knew that if Jinyang was lost at this time because of his temporary likes and dislikes, he would be dead, and he had to bow his head and deal with these people in twists and turns.

From Zhong Yu downwards, even though everyone looked down on Guan Yu's background, how could they dare to accept such a big gift from him on their faces, they all sat down humbly, and said words that dared not to do their best.

Guan Yu is not used to this kind of scene, looking at these Xu Xufu, he can't help but feel irritable, and he bowed to Zhong Yu deeply, and said sincerely: "Yuan Chang, Guan is a martial artist, and he doesn't understand folk customs!" The affairs of the city are left to you! ”

Zhong Xuan hurriedly returned a salute and said: "The second general is serious, and he accepts the grace of the lord, and allows me to reuse it, and I can't repay the lord's favor even if I die?" In case, this matter should be exhausted! And the lord and the son are already on the way back to the division, and they will be able to return to help in a few days, although Yuan Shao is powerful, I Jinyang has already been prepared, and there are no less than 20,000 elite soldiers in the city, and there are no less than 10,000 people in the compendium, and they are united in one mind, so that Jinyang is foolproof! The latter sentence was heard by many high-ranking nobles in Jinyang who were suspicious.

Many people understood that Zhong Xuan's words were just some words of relief, and the sedan chair carried people, but they also praised them one after another, and they had to pat Guan Yu Zhong Xuan a few sycophants. Zhong Xuan smiled slightly, stopped the crowd, and said: "The day before yesterday, Xiang had caught a spy and was ordered by Yuan Shao to come to my Jinyang to do activities, but unfortunately before Xiang personally interrogated, this person has been killed by his comrades in prison, and the princes don't know if they can hear about it?" ”

Guan Yu was stunned, when did this happen? At any time, he understood it, so he didn't say anything, just coldly looked at the reactions of the people below. The people below naturally didn't hear about it, and a few of them thought they had a good relationship with Zhong Xuan, so they also tried to inquire about who dared to be so ungrateful.

Zhong Shao stopped and said: "Yuan Shao is in a big situation, some people may have fear, it is also human nature, and Yuan Shao does not dare to ask for the public furniture and the general, in order to protect Jinyang, he will not give up, but this is a conspiracy with Yuan Shao......"

After saying that, Zhong Xuan's eyes slowly swept in front of everyone, but he was silent for a while.

"Bingzhou is a wasteland, if it weren't for the monarch to pull out the chaos and put things right, and help the people in fire and water, how can you and I be thriving today?" A middle-aged scribe looked gloomy, glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, originally my great Han Zhifu, the world was favored by the country, and Yuan Shao was the uncle of Guan Dong, but he didn't want to return the thief to the old capital, and he couldn't avenge his family, but he was jealous of the prestige of the Jun, and took advantage of the opportunity of the Jun's crusade against Dong Zhuo to invade me and merge the state. ”

Guan Yu didn't recognize who this person was, so he couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart, and looked at Zhong Xuan, but Zhong Xuan knew that he was Wen Shu, the brother of the Wenyu clan, and he had been the Taishou of Zhuo County, so he only nodded with Guan Yu and didn't speak.

Everyone heard Wen Shu's words, nodded in agreement, and a few people spoke out to defend themselves against Yuan Shao, Zhong Xuan cleared his throat, got up and shook with everyone, and said: "With the help of all the princes, Jinyang can be foolproof, please act on behalf of the lord, thank the princes for their deep understanding of righteousness!" ”

Everyone pushed back, but looked at Zhong Xuan suspiciously, not knowing what else he had to say. Zhong Xuan's eyes were wrinkled, and he said in a deep voice: "Since Yuan Shao has already made people enter Jinyang, he will inevitably have to move around, all the princes are famous and virtuous people in the state, and they should not be suspicious, but the matter is very important, and Yuan has to be very careful!" From today on," Speaking of this, Zhong Xuan was stunned, and his face suddenly showed murderousness, "Please ask the sergeant to be stationed on the streets of Jinyang, please be careful with your own children and nephews, don't move around at will, if there is any suspicion, the sergeant knife is fast and long, the prince is mistaken, and it is too late to regret!" ”

When everyone heard the words, they all changed color, which was equivalent to putting everyone under house arrest at home in disguise, and they all looked at each other and were dull for a while.

Zhong Miao smiled slightly and said, "Miao also knows that this move is too abrupt, but it is due to the situation, and he has to do it." Fortunately, the army of the lord has been on the way back, more than a month, or as late as ten days, Yuan Shaodang can automatically retreat, at that time, he went to the princes' mansion in person, and one by one with the princes to ask for guilt! ”
