Dujia is in the south of Hulu City, crossing Jishui, and walking more than 20 miles to arrive.

Du Shang was in his forties when he commanded the army to quell the rebellion, and his eldest son Du Ju and second son Du An had the opportunity to come with him, and he was no stranger to the military. Duju led his troops to Hulu to help, and Du'an guarded the manor. Because of the party's reasons, he has only had the opportunity to go out in recent years, first as a man in the court, and later as a foreigner, and has served two terms as a county magistrate, and has just stepped down and returned home not long ago.

Knowing that Zhu Zhi's troops were coming, Du An knew that it was not good, so he sent people to strengthen his defenses and contacted Zhu Zhi on the other.

Zhu Zhi was very polite and said to the visitor, I am not here to fight, I am ordered to come to worship Dugong. Du Gong once brought the current Tai Lieutenant Zhu Jun, Sun Jian is Zhu Jun's former official, I heard Zhu Jun mention the kindness of the Duke, and when he was in Jingzhou, he also heard people say that the prestige of the Dugong was very much, and he always wanted to come to visit, but he was busy with military affairs and had no time, so he entrusted me to come.

Du An knew that this was an excuse, but it was difficult to refuse. When others come to worship his father, he, as the Son of Man, must accompany the sacrifice in full propriety. He handed over the defense of the manor to Du Ju's son Du Cheng, and personally greeted him and accompanied Zhu Zhi to the family cemetery outside the manor. Zhu Zhi offered the sacrifice, saluted respectfully, and read the sacrificial text that Yang Xiu had written.

Although Du'an is average in learning, he can still hear good and bad, and when he hears this sacrificial text, he knows that it is not something that can be written by a layman. He should be complimented by affection and courtesy. "I didn't expect the captain to be so literate."

Zhu Zhi smiled and shook his head. "Dujun, I can't write such an article, I am dissatisfied with you and you said, this is Yang Gongzi's masterpiece."

"Young Master Yang?" Du An was slightly stunned. Those who can be called sons are not ordinary people, indicating that his father has been a high-ranking official at least three public levels. Sangong is not something that everyone has the opportunity to do. His father's official is 2,000 stones, and there is still a long way to go from the third duke. Moreover, he has been a third prince and has a surname of Yang, which is very reminiscent of that family. "Which Yang Gongzi?"

"Yang Xiu, the son of Hongnong Yang, is now the master of the rebellious general. Zhi was ordered to come to worship Dugong and specially invited him to make a sacrifice. Zhu Zhi said, and looked at the tombstone written by Cai Yong, with a calm and gentle smile on his face. Otherwise, how can it be worthy of the inscription made by Cai Bojiao? ”

Du'an was surprised and very grateful. Sun Jian's father and son gave face like this, and he couldn't help but know how to lift up. But what shocked him even more was that Yang Biao's son Yang Xiu was the master book for Sun Ce. Hongnong Yang is a family as famous as the Yuan family in Runan, and its influence is not trivial.

Zhu Zhi had already prepared and took the opportunity to explain the relationship between Sun Jian's father and son and Yuan Shu. Sun Jian is Yuan Shu's old department, and Sun Ce is the heir to Yuan Shu's command, and he is also Yuan Shu's son-in-law. Yang Xiu's mother is Yuan Shu's sister, and the relationship between the Yang family and Sun Ce is very close. Moreover, Sun Jian and Sun Ce were both loyal and famous generals who supported the imperial court, and they fought against Yuan Shao on the orders of the imperial court, not out of selfish interests.

Although Du An still pretended to be confused and was unwilling to express his position, the defense line in his heart had loosened somewhat, and his expression was no longer rejecting people from thousands of miles away.

Zhu Zhi knew what to expect, and chatted with Du An in a calm and diluted tone, and naturally talked about the war not long ago. Sun Jian broke Yuan Tan with a single father, Sun Ce broke Wen Chou in front with 200 horses, and assaulted Yuan Tan's camp behind, and now Wen Chou was captured, Yuan Tan was defeated, and Hulu was surrounded. Yuan Tan was broken, and he didn't dare to come to the rescue at all, and there was no doubt that the city would be broken.

Hearing these achievements, Du An's expression changed. Sun Jian and Sun Ce's achievements, he is no stranger, when Sun Ce led his troops to attack Luoyang, a few years ago Sun Ce annihilated the Xiliang elite led by Xu Rong in Nanyang, this is a classic example that everyone knows, but it is far away, and he has not been connected with himself. Now that the Sun father and son are by his side, these battles were just a few days ago, but he can't think about it carefully.

Can Lu Qian hold on to the lake and land? If you can't keep it, the Du family supports Lu Qian and goes against the Sun family's father and son, isn't it boring to find themselves? If you want to be nameless, if you want to be profitable, if your family is ruined, you have to bear a rebellious name, how can you be worthy of the name of your father Dushang?

Seeing that Du An was shaken, Zhu Zhi struck while the iron was hot and asked Du An to review his subordinates.

There were more than 4,000 people under Zhu Zhi's command, most of whom were Danyang soldiers that Sun Ce had taken from Liu Bei. Before he came, Zhu Zhi had the intention of showing off his martial arts, so he asked the soldiers to dress neatly, wipe their weapons and armor cleanly, and specially emphasized the appearance of the army. Du An is a person who has been an official, and at a glance, he knows that the Du family is not the opponent of these people, whether Sun Ce can capture Hulu or not, Zhu Zhi wants to take the Du family is an easy matter. Let these people attack the manor, and the family will be finished.

So he got acquainted with each other, and warmly invited Zhu Zhi into the manor and set up a banquet to entertain him.

——

Huang Gai came to the door of the Shan family, reined in his mount, looked at the manor of the Shan family, and ordered someone to come forward and shout.

Shan Xin's younger brother Shan Yi heard the news and went up to the dock wall, looked at Huang Gai outside the manor and the more than 3,000 soldiers under his command, spat disdainfully, and shouted loudly without even listening to the shouting: "Where did the raccoon dog come from, dare to roar outside my house." Come on, shoot me! ”

Raccoon dog is a dialect of this area, which means earth dog. When Huang Gai was stationed in Yuzhou for a long time, he could understand this sentence, and when he saw that Shan Yi was so arrogant, he didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with him, so he immediately ordered an attack.

Not to be outdone, Shan Yi ordered the crossbowmen on the fort to shoot. Huang Gai naturally couldn't let him get his wish, and immediately sent crossbowmen to suppress the shot. Shan Yi soon found that the two sides were not of the same grade, the crossbowmen outside the city were not only numerous, but also extremely accurate, just a few rounds of shooting, the crossbowmen on the fort lost dozens of people, and the rest of the people were also cowardly and did not dare to attack.

Seeing that the rain of arrows on the fort was getting thinner and thinner, Huang Gai ordered people to swim across the moat, climb onto the drawbridge, cut the suspension cable, put down the drawbridge, and then took the guard battalion, carried the prepared tree trunk, and slammed the fort gate, and the fort gate crumbled with a bang, and more soldiers continued to cross the moat, kill under the fort, and the ants attacked strongly.

Although Shan Yi shouted loudly and asked his subordinates to shoot arrows and counterattack, in the face of Huang Gai's superior forces, the more than 200 parts of the Shan family were suppressed to death, and they had no power to fight back at all, and they could not stop Huang Gai's attack. In less than half an hour, Huang Gai broke through the fort gate, and immediately ordered a bloody sweep of the single family. At the sound of an order, more than 3,000 people with a strong fighting spirit broke into the main courtyard of the single family, killing people when they saw them, and robbing things when they saw them. In a moment, the screams of the single family were everywhere.

Huang Gai carried a war knife and came to the pale face of the single prosthetic door.

At this time, Shan Yi had long lost the conceit he had just now, and he hid behind the trilogy, trembling.

"Come, call a raccoon dog again." Huang Gai hooked his fingers and sneered.

Where did Shan Yi dare to be arrogant, he knelt down in front of Huang Gai with a plop, and begged for mercy again and again. Huang Gai just sneered and looked at Shan Yi motionlessly. Shan Yi kowtowed and his face was covered with blood, but Huang Gai didn't react or did not react, and when Shan Yi stopped kowtowing, he sat on the ground in despair, he waved his war knife and cut off Shan Yi's head with one sword.
