Chapter 124: Battle of Xuzhou (4)

After Lu Bu struggled to kill the burial wolf gang, although Zhao Xu saw that Lu Bu ran out, he was not ready to chase anymore, anyway, the entire Xuzhou was under the control of Lao Tzu, so there was no need to worry, not to mention that he was chasing Lu Bu now, maybe he would still do the battle of the trapped beast, and it would be more troublesome at that time. It seems that Lu Bu is not just a hungry wolf! This burial wolf hill is really not the place where he should be mourned.

After sorting out Lu Bu's troops and surrendering troops, Zhao Xu ordered the whole army to rest. At noon the next day, Zhao Xu was sitting on a stone basking in the sun and resting. "General, Lu Bu has already run away, the Wang Yong brothers are still the same, the enemy army is only nesting in Xiapi City, and they dare not come out, what should we do next?" Zhou Cang handed a bowl of rice, two steamed buns and a pair of chopsticks to Zhao Xu as he asked.

Zhao Xu took the meal and smiled, "Well, this!" Wait! and other news. ”

"Waiting for news? What news are you waiting for? Zhou Cang asked puzzled.

Before Zhao Xu could answer, Zhao Yun walked over and smiled at Zhao Xu: "Big brother, there is news from Donghai County and Xuzhou City." ”

Zhao Xu asked, "What's the situation?" ”

"Big brother, General Huang took Donghai County bloodlessly, Uncle Zhi attacked Chen Palace according to the plan, after a fierce battle, Chen Gong has also been ambushed, and now there is only Lu Bu left." Zhao Yun said very happily.

"What! Master Master has taken down Donghai County! Zhou Cang exclaimed excitedly. After Zhou Cang worshipped Huang Zhong and Guan Yu as his teachers, he called the two of them masters, and they were ranked according to their age, so they naturally called Huang Zhong the greatest.

Zhao Xu had expected it a long time ago, and his expression was not exaggerated, he took a bite of the steamed bun and said with a smile: "Haha!" Okay now, Zhou Cang, after you finish eating, you lead 5,000 cavalry to take Pengcheng for me, Zilong, after eating, go and order 10,000 soldiers and horses to capture Pi. ”

"Yes! Checkmate! ”

"No!"

Qin Yilu was still nervous at the head of Xiapi City at this time, for fear that Zhao Xu would come to attack the city, and the day before yesterday he heard the sound of killing outside the sky, although he thought that it might be Lu Bu's rescue, but he didn't dare to go out, and he was afraid that it was Zhao Xu's plan.

"Open the door! General Qin, open the city gate quickly. Qin Yilu was sitting on a stool eating, and suddenly heard a shout outside the city, spit out the rice with a "poof", and hurriedly walked to the city, and when he saw it, it was his own soldiers and horses, and the leader himself also knew, he was a young general beside Lu Bu, with a total of more than 100 horses.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yilu asked, and saw that there was a lot of blood stains on the soldiers under the city, obviously after a fierce battle, he couldn't help but feel nervous again, and secretly thought: The lord can't have an accident, right?

The general under the city shouted: "General Qin, we followed the lord and were originally going to come to Xiapi to support, but we didn't expect to be ambushed by Zhao Xu on the road, after a fierce battle, the lord's life and death are unknown, only we are left, and please General Qin to help!" ”

Qin Yilu was taken aback, could it be his own fault that Lu Bu suffered a great disaster, Qin Yilu calmed down a little, calmed down, and naturally had no suspicion at this time, and shouted to the city: "Open the city gate!" Guys, come on in. ”

Seeing the city gate open and the drawbridge lowered, Qin Yilu led hundreds of soldiers out of the city, ran across the drawbridge, and shouted: "The generals are fine, quickly enter the city to rest." ”

Before Qin Yilu's words fell, a horse flashed next to the general of the Lu Bu department, with white armor and white guns and white horses, and he shouted, raised his gun and rode the horse, and took Qin Yilu directly.

Qin Yilu was shocked, thinking that Lu Bu was dead, and the general was angry that he didn't go out of the city to help, and wanted to kill himself, so he hurriedly drew his sword to resist. Qin Yilu's sword had just been pulled out, only to see a flash of white light, and then he heard Qin Yilu scream, only to see that the head of the spear had pierced Qin Yilu's throat.

Later, Qin Yilu's generals were shocked, only to see the white-armored general slowly pull out his gun, put the gun horizontally, and shouted: "I am Zhao Yun, the general of the Han Auxiliary State, Lu Bu has died at the hands of my eldest brother Zhao Xu, and I have also beheaded the thief Qin Yilu, and the rest of the people are not guilty, and those who surrender will not die." ”

Lu Bu's subordinate generals also shouted: "Lu Bu has already given the head, so you should surrender and avoid death." ”

Before the words fell, a large number of men and horses suddenly appeared in the woods behind them, and a cavalry under the black pressure came straight over, and the soldiers behind and at the head of the city were so frightened that they hurriedly shouted: "We surrender, we surrender!" For a while, all the soldiers in the city surrendered, so Zhao Xu also took Xiapi City bloodlessly, and the army and the people were safe.

Zhao Xu followed behind the army and walked slowly into Xiapi City, looking at the scenery in Xiapi City, without excitement at all. After a while, Zhao Yun came over and said to Zhao Xuyu: "Big brother, there are more than 6,000 Lu Bujun in Xiapi City, as well as many heavy and ordnance. ”

"Oh! Hahaha! Zhao Xu was also a little uncalm at this time, defeated Lu Bu, took Pengcheng again, and captured Xiapi at this time, who would believe it if he was unhappy! It's just that Zhao Xu had been thinking about the next step before, and although he was happy in his heart, he didn't show it, and finally laughed out loud at this time.

"Xiapi has been taken, this is easy to do, Zilong, go and call Wang Yong's kid!"

"General, I'm here!" Before Zhao Yun could agree to Zhao Xu, Wang Yong ran over, covered in blood, and even the yellow oily bald head was covered with blood.

"What? Monk, are you injured? Zhao Xu asked worriedly.

Wang Yong laughed and said: "How come, these are the blood of the enemy, just now a few soldiers pretended to surrender, but secretly surrendered, his grandmother's, and stabbed one of my soldiers, I was really angry, these despicable villains, but fortunately, I killed them all." ”

Zhao Xu knew that Wang Yong was straightforward, and he didn't say anything out of the ordinary, so he would never do anything out of the ordinary, Wang Yong said so, then that's the truth, Zhao Xu didn't ask much, and smiled at Wang Yong: "Monk, now I have an important task to hand over to you." ”

"What important task, general, just say that Wang Yong will go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not give up!" Wang Yong smiled honestly.

"You don't have to go to the soup." Zhao Xu said lightly: "I want you to lead 15,000 men and horses to defend Xiapi City." ”

"What!" Not only Wang Yong, but even Zhao Yun also called out.

"Big brother, isn't it appropriate to let Wang Yong guard Picheng?" Zhao Yun asked worriedly.

"Yes! General, you want me to charge into battle, and I will be the first to come out, but I really can't defend the city! Besides, there are two generals here, and there is no need for me! Wang Yong was also shocked.

Zhao Xu waved his hand and said: "Zilong and I still have important things to do, besides, what are you afraid of, you don't need any skills to defend the city, there is an enemy army to attack, you just have to defend it; You dare to single out Lu Bu, this is enough to prove your ability. Also, I asked you to lead 15,000 elite soldiers, and let you guard Pi while settling Lu Bu's more than 10,000 surrendered troops by the way, can't you still suppress these more than 10,000 surrendered troops? ”

Wang Yong looked at Zhao Xu's deep and trusting eyes, and opened his heart to the side, isn't it just to defend a city? If someone else does it, I can't do it, the general asked me to defend the city, this is to believe in my strength! I can't live up to the general's trust. At that moment, Wang Yong shouted: "Yes! General, Wang Yong will live up to the high expectations of the general and defend Xiapi City to the death. ”

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "You don't need to defend it, as long as you hold it, okay, Zilong, order 10,000 soldiers and horses, let's go to Xiaoguan." ”

"Xiao Guan? Big brother, what are we going to Xiaoguan for? Why don't we take Guangling at this time, completely capture the entire territory of Xuzhou, and cheat in the Lu Bu urn? Zhao Yun asked Zhao Xu puzzled. To say that Xiao Guan was originally called Xiao County, it can not be a big city, it can only be called a checkpoint, which is smaller than the Tiger Prison Pass, and the city of Xiao Guan is tall and strong, it is the highest city wall in the entire Xuzhou. It was also extremely difficult to capture it, and Zhao Yun really couldn't understand why Zhao Xu was willing to make it easy.

Zhao Xu laughed and said: "Guangling still has a lot of soldiers and horses to guard, now it is too hard to attack him, the loss of brothers in vain, we are now going to capture Xiao Pass, after Lu Bu returned, he knew that Chen Gong was dead, the East China Sea had been broken, he would definitely not go to Guangling this remote place again, he would definitely go to Xiao Pass, if Xiao Pass was down, he would go to Huainan Yuan Shu for help, when the time comes, we will ambush our subordinates on the way to Huainan, and we can capture it in a battle." Therefore, it is the right way to capture Xiao Pass first, know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles! ”

"Know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles." Zhao Yun muttered, thought about Zhao Xu's words carefully, suddenly realized, and immediately said: "Big brother, you are right, it is Zilong who is too negligent, and he did not anticipate the enemy's first strategy, it seems that Zilong is still too far behind you compared to your eldest brother!." ”

"Haha! The road is long, Zilong, work hard, what is it compared to me? Zhao Xu patted Zhao Yun's shoulder and said with a smile. Compared with me, Lao Tzu is a person from later generations, how can you compare with me, this stupid brother, he likes to compete so much, but it is also one of Zhao Yun's great charms! If you continue to learn and progress, you will be a good student who will go up every day!

Speaking of this Xiaoguan, but the junction of Xuzhou and Yanzhou, not far from Qingzhou, this is an important gateway to Xuzhou. If you can enter the Central Plains, you can also retreat to Xuzhou, and you can get stuck in the Central Plains and enter Xuzhou. It seems that Tao Qian spent a lot of energy to build Xiao Guan, and his ambition when he was young was not small! It's a pity that the strength is not good, and the military is weak, even if the ambition is great, it is just a master with a low eye.

Of course, no matter what Tao Qian's intentions are to build Xiao Guan, and whether he is loyal or traitorous, he will not live long now, this Xuzhou will soon return to Lao Tzu, oh! No, it should be Liu Bei.

Poor Tao Qian's Xuzhou, which spent a lot of effort, was easily captured by Lu Bu, which is really ......, but Xuzhou is about to really change hands, and life is impermanent! Zhao Xu thought about it, looking to the east, where Xiao Guan was, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
