The second watch arrives at !!

"Big brother! Eldest brother! ”

"Huh?" Zhao Xu, who was looking at the sky in a daze, was beaten back to his original form by this continuous shout, and when he looked back, it was his younger brother Zhao Yun, Zhao Xu relieved himself and asked, "What's wrong?" Zilong, what's the matter? ”

Zhao Yun saw that Zhao Xu was distracted, and he also understood very well, after all, Zhao Xu was the commander-in-chief, and he was under a lot of pressure, so he said at the moment: "Big brother, the 100,000 army in Qingzhou has been assembled, just wait for your next order, big brother!" ”

"Oh! So fast! Zhao Xu said very plainly.

Zhao Yun was a little puzzled and asked, "Big brother, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Thoughts, it's not all you, it's not okay to stay in Luoyang on a blind date, you have to be a pioneer, it's good now, Zhao Xue said that she wanted to help Zhao Yun pull the strings, so she stayed in Luoyang to help Zhao Yun pave the way. Zhao Xu can't help Zhao Xue, and it's not good to force Zhao Xue to go to the battlefield with him, after all, this is a man's business, I have to say that after leaving Zhao Xue for a while, I still miss her very much. Zhao Xu shook his head, sighed, and said, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking of a way to break the enemy!" ”

Zhao Yun also said: "This time it is not a battle against the grassland, Lu Bu is brave and the world, it is difficult to win except for the old general Huang alone, and there is the Chen Gong assistant, this will be a tough battle!" ”

"Huh!" Zhao Xu smiled, "This is not a problem, since he Lu Bu has already challenged with his sword, how can I not fight; Lu Bu is not terrible, but if Yuan Shu comes to reinforce, it will take a lot of effort, if Lu Bu cannot be destroyed before Yuan Shu's reinforcements, then the reinforcements will increase the casualties of our army as soon as they arrive; I estimate that Lu Bu is a hungry wolf, and with the help of Chen Gong, it is estimated that it will be more difficult to deal with than Yuan Shao; But our army is a tiger, and when the tiger sees a hungry wolf, how can he give way? Although Lu Bu is a bone that is fast and difficult to gnaw, even if he breaks his front teeth, he must be crushed before Yuan Shu reinforces him! Zilong, order the troops, have a full meal, even if you set off. ”

"Whoa!" Zhao Yun shouted, took Zhao Xu's words, turned around and rushed towards the place where the army was assembled, conveying the order. Zhao Yun admired people the most in his life, the first is Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu dares to be brave and tenacious no matter whether he uses soldiers or is a man; Once you make up your mind when you start a war, you will resolutely implement it; Zhao Yun knows that he is most afraid of depression and indecision in the war, and the harm of the three armies will be suspicious! And what Zhao Yun admires the most is also Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu's eyes are always full of confidence, Zhao Xu said that Lu Bu is a bad wolf, in fact, Zhao Xu is even worse, it seems that in Zhao Xu's eyes, any opponent who calls the formation is a piece of meat on his mouth. Zhao Yun's resolute execution of Zhao Xu's orders is not only because Zhao Xu has the status of a brother, but also because Zhao Xu has an invincible spirit and unparalleled charm in the world.

Zhao Xu looked at Zhao Yun's departing back, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a strange smile. Ha ha! It's time for me to put on a show again.

"Knock, knock, knock... Kill..."Outside Xuzhou City, the sound of war drums and killing shouts shook the sky.

Tao Qian, who was sitting on the head of the city and had a little difficulty breathing, opened his eyes, and his eyes flashed with a look of extreme exhaustion. Looking at the Lu Bu army outside the city, Lu Bu's army and horses seemed to be ready to attack the city, Tao Qian was not surprised at all, scolded secretly in his heart, and sat back again.

For dozens of days, Lu Bu personally beat the drums, led the army to attack the city, the siege battle is a hard battle, although Lu Bu is brave, but for a time he can not take Xuzhou City, and if the strong attack fails, he will use outwitting, Chen Gong is scheming, not under Fa Zheng and others, in Xuzhou City arranged the inner line early, three days ago, the inner line stole the city gate, Lu Bu attacked the city, if it was not for Chen Deng's cautious, found early in the middle of the night patrol, timely deployment of troops to block the city gate, even Tao Qian also took the sick body on the horse to supervise the battle, the two sides fought fiercely all night, fortunately still repelled Lu Bu's attacking troops, But the loss is also extremely heavy, the moat at the gate of the city has been covered by corpses, but one night, Xuzhou soldiers and horses killed more than 8,000 people, the seriously wounded reached more than 15,000, although Lu Bujun also suffered a lot of casualties, but far less than Tao Qian's casualties. In the past few days, Lu Bu has gradually become impatient, and after several strong attacks one after another, Tao Qian thought that he could still hold on to the reinforcements, but after these vicious battles, the city of Xuzhou gradually became overstretched, and there were less than 20,000 capable fighters left.

"Lord!" At this time, a thin civil official walked out from behind Liu Bei, saluted Tao Qian, and said: "The grain and grass in the city can only support less than three days, and Lu Bujun is also sharpening his sword, I don't know if we can hold on!" ”

Tao Qian didn't have to look back, he also knew that Chen Deng was behind him. Hearing Chen Deng's words, Tao Qian frowned, couldn't help but sigh, and said with a wry smile: "What else can I do if the reinforcements haven't arrived?" Tell the soldiers to defend the gates. ”

Tao Qian shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Defend the city gate, now the morale of the soldiers is low, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it!" ”

Tao Qian suddenly showed an extremely helpless wry smile, sighed, and said, "Alas! The old man's illness is critical, the day is not safe, the poor Han family city is important, and it is going to fall into the hands of thieves, Yuanlong, I have treated you well for many years, if the imperial court reinforcements are not due, I hope you will help the Lord to recapture Xuzhou in the future, and the old man will die blindly! ”

When Chen Deng saw Tao Qian say his heartfelt words, he couldn't help but shed tears, and said in a trembling voice: "The lord is righteous, Chen Deng is ashamed!" Please rest assured that Chen Deng will do his best to live up to the trust of the lord! ”

"Alas——! What do you have to be ashamed of. Tao Qian sighed again, waved his hand, and said: "Yuanlong, you are right, now that the general trend has gone, if you defend it to the death, it will only increase the casualties of the soldiers!" It's better to surrender Kaecheng now and take the head of the old man, I hope Lu Bu will show some affection and spare the soldiers and the people of the city! ”

"Lord, don't do it!" Hearing Liu Bei's words, Chen Deng didn't expect that he would say a few negative words, Tao Qian was so discouraged that he was also taken aback, and hurriedly persuaded: "Lord! Now that the overall situation has not been decided, and the outcome is not yet known, how can the lord, as the state pastor, give up easily? The scouts have been going to Luoyang for help for many days, I think the Son of Heaven will definitely use Qingzhou Liu Xuande's army and horses to rescue, Liu Xuande is benevolent and righteous, I think he will not sit idly by, and it is estimated that the reinforcements will arrive in a few days. ”

"Reinforcements?" Tao Qian fell into contemplation, Liu Bei's name of benevolence and righteousness is known all over the world, and he will not die without saving him, not to mention that Xuzhou borders Qingzhou, and his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, Liu Bei should send someone to rescue, "I hope that the reinforcements will arrive sooner, and the casualties in the province will increase." ”

"Haha! Tao Qian, the old boy, can't hold it anymore, and Xuzhou will be broken soon. Lu Bu was in the barracks, and he couldn't help laughing when he thought that Xuzhou would be broken.

The generals who sat down shouted in unison: "Congratulations to my lord!" ”

Lu Bu laughed and shouted: "Pass my order, order the soldiers to have a full meal at noon, and they are bound to take Xuzhou City today." ”

"No!"

"No, the general must not attack the city." There was a shout outside the door, and I saw Chen Gong walk in.

Lu Bu was puzzled and asked, "Why?" Xuzhou is just around the corner, why doesn't Mr. let me attack the city? ”

Chen Gong took out a piece of cloth, handed it to Lu Bu, and said: "Look, the imperial court ordered Zhao Xu to lead 100,000 troops from Qingzhou to rescue, and now he has entered the border of Xuzhou, not far from Xuzhou City." ”

As soon as Lu Bu heard Zhao Xu, "Smack!" Cha! Lu Bu smashed a fist on several cases, smashing several cases in half, and all the generals were startled and stood up. Lu Bu said word by word: "Zhao Xu, he came just in time, and he happened to take his head to vent the hatred in his heart." ”

Chen Gong saw that Lu Bu was going to be arrogant again, and hurriedly said: "General can't, you take a look at this information first, and don't mention Zhao Xu's civil and military skills, there must be preparations for this, just this time Zhao Xu led the general, Tanma saw from a distance that there were words such as "Dian", "Chen", "Zhao", "Huang", etc., it is estimated that Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Chen Zhi and Huang Zhong and others are here, although the general is brave to crown the three armies, can he fight five with one enemy? ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he was taken aback, just one Huang Zhong, he had no chance of winning, not to mention that with Zhao Yun and others, Lu Bu paused, "In Mr. Yi's opinion, how to deal with Zhao Xu's army." ”

Chen Gong wisped his beard and said, "Now we can't attack Xuzhou for a while, presumably Xuzhou City has also received the news and is ready to take precautions, if Zhao Xu arrives one step earlier and sneaks up on our army, we will suffer from the enemy on our back, and it is difficult to deal with it, for the sake of today's plan, we can temporarily retreat first......"

Before Chen Gong finished speaking, Lu Bu shouted: "Xuzhou will be down, how can I retreat, not to mention that Zhao Xu insulted me too much, and it is difficult to solve the hatred in my heart if I don't capture him, why is Mr. so afraid of Zhao Xu!" ”

Chen Gong said: "It's not fear! General, please listen to me, the palace sees that it is to temporarily retreat twenty miles, and set up camp with the mountain as the backing, if Zhao Xu sneaks attack, it can also resist the enemy, but the enemy can not retreat, or retreat to Xiapi, and then try to counterattack; General, the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late! ”

Lu Bu was said by Chen Gongyi, and suddenly realized, "Well, Mr. is right, the gentleman is right, it is not too late for ten years for the gentleman to take revenge, then according to Mr.'s opinion, now I will order the whole army to retreat twenty miles." ”

On the city of Xuzhou, Tao Qian was ready to fight against the water, and suddenly saw Lu Bu's army suddenly retreating, and he was secretly frightened. Chen Deng was also very puzzled, and said: "Lu Bu's army suddenly retreated, it was not Chen Gong's plan. ”

Suddenly, he saw Lu Bu coming out with a halberd, and shouted loudly: "Tao Qian, old thief, it's better to surrender!" lest they increase casualties. ”

Tao Qian was furious, he was already sick, and he coughed again and again; Chen Deng shouted: "My lord is the assassin of Xuzhou sealed by the Han family, and An can send the city of the Han Dynasty to the thieves?" ”

Lu Bu was not angry, he let out a long laugh and shouted, "It's okay if you don't want to surrender!" Wait for me to destroy Zhao Xu, and then come to take your city. ”

Chen Gong heard that Lu Bu said that he wanted to kill Zhao Xu first, and he didn't say anything, Chen Gong naturally thought that the news had been received in Xuzhou City, but unfortunately he miscalculated this time; Chen Gong was able to detect Zhao Xu's army to rescue, but Zhao Xu did it deliberately, and the envoy sent by Xuzhou was still in Zhao Xu's army.

Tao Qian and other Xuzhou soldiers and horses heard that Zhao Xu came to the rescue, and there was a sudden commotion in the city, and the soldiers were overjoyed; Chen Deng said: "My lord, if the reinforcements come, the messenger we sent out for help should also come, why haven't we received the news yet, unless it was intercepted...... However, Chen Gong is resourceful, we still have to be careful, this may also be Chen Gong's plan, we must not go out of the city, and wait for the reinforcements to meet again. ”

Tao Qian nodded, "What Yuan Long said is very true, whether reinforcements come or not, we will defend the city first and act when the opportunity comes." ”

Lu Bu's military horse was about to retreat, and suddenly a group of Biao troops came out next to him, and they went straight to the gate of Xuzhou, and thousands of soldiers in front of him were all white-clothed and white-speared; Everyone on both sides was shocked, Lu Bu was secretly surprised, and said, "Why did Zhao Xu arrive so quickly?" ”

Chen Gong looked at it carefully and said: "It stands to reason that Zhao Xu's army can't come so soon, this should be Zhao Xu's vanguard troops, general, you see, those thousands of white-clothed troops are not the white-eared soldiers of Chen Zhi!" ”

Lu Bu took a look, and sure enough, Lu Bu had seen the power of the white-eared soldiers, and he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, so he shouted, "Prepare to meet the enemy." "Lu Bujun should be ready for battle.

Lu Bu secretly cursed in his heart, seeing that the other party had quickly set up a formation, knowing that the comer was a tough enemy, he saw a big banner and wrote: "Chen Dao, the general of the town army."

But seeing a big general flashing out, he immediately shot at Lu Bu and roared angrily at Lu Bu: "Lu Bu has to be presumptuous, Chen Zhi, the general of the Dahan Town Army, is here!" Wait for the rats, who dares to fight! ”

Lu Bu was furious, and was about to go to battle Chen Dao, Chen Gong hurriedly stopped, and said: "Zhao Xu's vanguard army has arrived, and the army will be behind, now the morale of the soldiers in Xuzhou City is high, our army has been fighting for many days, the soldiers are slightly tired, it is not suitable for a decisive battle, act according to the previous plan first." ”

Lu Bu listened, glared at Chen Zhi opposite, turned the horse's head, and Chen Gong shouted: "The front team will be the back team, the back team will be the front team, and withdraw!" ”

Chen Gong knew that when the army retreated, he was most afraid of the enemy's surprise attack, so he personally cut off the rear to prevent Chen from a surprise attack, and the army retreated for several miles, and there was no enemy army, Chen Gong sighed, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
