After disposing of the affairs of the Zhang family in Huayin, Lu Bu's heart was a little heavy, the land of three auxiliaries was in ruins, and there were huge hidden dangers, and the officials of the Inspectorate and the Inspectorate Mansion could not do everything in detail, not to mention that the officials of the Inspectorate got news from all parties in Chang'an, and the speed would become much slower, and at the same time, the officials of the Inspectorate in the city were also dealt with.

The land of Sanfu was the top priority under Lu Bu's rule at this time, and the officials of the Inspectorate were all in each county, and their task was to check whether the officials and the family had violated the law and discipline.

The next day, in the east of the city, the captured thieves, including the important people of the Zhang family, were all beheaded, and their crimes were also posted in the city to inform the people.

Watching Gao Xiang be executed, Ju Yi also sighed a little, this is the era of success and defeat, successful people will be remembered, and failed people can only be reduced to prisoners, Yuan Shao is a clear example, when Yuan Shao was in charge of Jizhou and Qingzhou, he was a famous prince, and now among the people under Lu Bu, it is Yuan Shao's various nos.

After learning that the thieves outside the city were cleared, the people of Huayin vied with each other to praise them, and Lu Bu's prestige was enhanced again in Huayin.

After the Zhang family was wiped out and the news of the dismissal of officials spread, officials from all over Sanfu were more vigilant, they didn't think that under Lu Bu's rule, they could still be tolerated after making mistakes, especially Huayin Ling was Lu Bu's protégé, who was an official from Jinyang Academy.

On the third day, Lu Bu led the army to leave Huayin, Guo Jia was in charge of the army, and Lu Bu led the guards first, investigating the situation in various places along the way to see if the people were satisfied with the current state of life.

Since the occupation of Chang'an, the purging of bandits in the land of Sanfu has never stopped.

After the envoys of the three parties got the news of Lu Bu's return to Chang'an, they immediately moved, their main purpose was to obtain Lu Bu's support, although after Jia Xu sent people to deliver the news, they did not get a clear reply from Lu Bu did not affect their yearning for Lu Bu's support, no matter which side of the princes, if they could get Lu Bu's friendship, they could obtain more benefits on the battlefield in Jingzhou.

Lu Bu didn't expect that now he would become the key to the tripartite princes, but it is impractical to get enough benefits from the tripartite, and the princes want to get Lu Bu's support, but they are not willing to pay more, at most they only give it verbally.

Just returned to Chang'an, but Lu Bu got the latest battle situation in Jingzhou, and Xiangyang City was broken by Cao's army.

Xiangyang, eight days have passed since the Yi nationality went to Chang'an to seek reinforcements, the offensive of the Cao army outside the city has become more and more fierce, there are a large number of soldiers killed and wounded every day, when the war is the most stalemate, the most test of the soldiers' combat effectiveness, the Cao army is more and more courageous, and the Jingzhou army is showing a defeat, in the face of the Cao army siege, there are even deserters, they become numb in the successive battles, but after suddenly sobering up, it is to see the tragic situation on the city wall, the death of the robe.

This kind of thing is not uncommon among the defenders, and the family has once again provided a lot of private soldiers, which has relieved the pressure on the defenders to a certain extent, but these private soldiers are extremely cunning on the battlefield, they or two or three people together, when facing the Cao army to attack the city wall, it seems to be fighting, but in fact, they are trying to avoid the Cao army.

For this situation, although Guan Yu has been punished several times, but he did not get the desired effect, although the private soldiers are crazy, but for the orders of the head of the family are crazy, they will try their best to protect themselves in the face of life and death, no one wants to die on the battlefield so easily, of course, the armor and blades of the private soldiers, among the defenders, are absolutely excellent, many defenders look at the private soldiers with envy, this is also the heritage of the family, although the number of private soldiers of the family is not much, but the pursuit is elite, First of all, it must be reflected in the armor blade.

Looking at the crazy Cao army outside the city, Guan Yu's brows frowned, in one day, the Cao army launched three fierce attacks, one almost captured the north of the city, if Guan Yu did not lead the knife hand to arrive at the critical moment, the north of the city would be dangerous, in a few days, Guan Yu led the most elite knife men under his command, continuous support on the city wall, as the Cao army attacked the city more and more fiercely, there were more and more omissions.

On a dark and windy night, the heads of the five families in the city, without the slightest warning, sent the private soldiers of the family to attack the east gate.

When the Cao army attacked Xiangyang, it was the north gate that was under the greatest pressure, relatively speaking, there were many fewer Cao troops attacking the east gate, and the crazy private soldiers seized the east gate, and the Cao army, which was ready to attack outside the city, saw the city gate open and swarmed in.

After Guan Yu learned of the loss of the east gate, he decisively ordered the soldiers to retreat into the inner city, but how could the Cao army give the Jingzhou army a chance to resist, after the outer city was captured, with the family's strategy, the gate of the inner city was opened.

This was a war that was crucial for the entire situation in Jingzhou, and the city of Xiangyang, which had resisted Cao's army for nearly two months, was breached.

The city was breached so suddenly that the important officials in the city did not have time to transfer, and Guan Yu showed strong combat effectiveness in this battle, leading the soldiers to hold back the pace of Cao's attack outside the palace.

"Guan Yu, don't get off your horse and surrender quickly, now that the Jingzhou army has been defeated, if you surrender to Cao Gong, you will inevitably be prosperous and rich in the future." Xiahou Yuan saw Guan Yu's stubborn resistance, and shouted, he admired Guan Yu's martial arts very much, he was able to hold Xiangyang for so long with his inferior troops, although Zhuge Liang planned from it, it was Guan Yu who really carried it out.

Guan Yu shouted: "Shameless traitor, he actually attacked the imperial court, you and other rebellious ministers and thieves, this general will kill you one by one sooner or later." ”

Xiahou Yuan's face changed slightly, and he ordered his soldiers to launch a more fierce attack.

After the soldiers in the Cao army broke through the city, they broke out again with strong combat effectiveness, and attacked Xiangyang for two months in succession, they paid a heavy low price, and now after breaking through Xiangyang, they became extremely crazy, especially in the face of the Jingzhou army, when the Jingzhou army attacked the city, the Jingzhou army did not cause them less damage, which also made the Cao army extremely hostile to the Jingzhou army.
