Duan Xuan surrendered, and when Gao Shun really entered the city alone to meet him, he surrendered directly to the city. At the same time, this also means that he gave up his wife and children who stayed in Chang'an as hostages. It sounds cruel, but this is Duan Xuan's helpless move.

Because he knew that even if he didn't surrender, he wouldn't be able to resist Gao Shun's attack. At that time, even if he dies in battle, I am afraid that his wife and children may not be spared. In this case, it is better to make a living. At least, after he surrenders, the Liangzhou Duan family will definitely be able to continue in his hands.

Cruel? Of course. But these are troubled times. In order to ensure the continuity of the family, sacrifice is sometimes unavoidable, as long as it can be guaranteed that the sacrifice is worthwhile.

So how do you guarantee value? Just surrendering the city, Duan Xuan felt that it was not enough. "Fujun, the lower officials think that now Chang'an has not received the news of the surrender of the lower officials, if the lower officials are sent to lead the elite cavalry to Wannian and Gaoling together with the lower officials at this time, maybe they can directly persuade them to defect." After a pause, Duan Xuan seemed to be worried that Gao Shun would not agree, and emphasized again, "The guards of Wannian and Gaoling are all subordinates who followed Xiaguan many years ago......

"Zhongming's plan is wonderful!" Gao Shun was overjoyed when he heard this, and then said after a deep sigh, "In this way, I will send someone to send you to Chongquan, and when you get there, you and Zilong will directly lead a small number of fine horsemen to persuade Wannian and Gaoling to surrender!" ”

Speaking of this, Gao Shun paused and said again, "After arriving at Chongquan, Lao Fu Zhongming told Zilong to lead the army to Wannian at the same time!" And I'm going to follow as soon as possible! In addition, I will immediately send someone to report to the lord about this matter. At that time, even if the matter of persuading the two cities to surrender for ten thousand years is not successful, the lord will definitely not treat you badly! ”

"Thank you, Mr. Fu." Duan Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him.

"Zhongming doesn't have to be like this, the lord has always had clear rewards and punishments, as long as you serve the lord well, whether it is Zhongming you or the future of the Duan family, you will not regret your choice today!" Gao Shun patted Duan Xuan's shoulder and said in a deep voice.

After Duan Xuan left, Gao Shun immediately ordered Li Dao to go to reorganize the troops, and at the same time sent people to Hedong to mobilize baggage. Although he successively took the two cities of Linjin and Chongquan, so that the grain and grass in the army were replenished a lot, Gao Shun still planned to mobilize some of them first, so as not to have any special circumstances.

On the other side, after Yang Ding took the initiative to evacuate, Lu Bu led his army all the way to the east, and after forcing Hucheng to surrender, he quickly rushed to Huayin City.

After learning that the enemy army was about to arrive in Huayin City, Hu Zhen immediately summoned everyone to discuss the matter. It was just that after he told everyone the news, Pound jumped out and said loudly, "General Hu! Ben is willing to lead his army out of the city to meet the enemy! ”

Hearing this, Hu Zhen suddenly felt a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart, but on the surface, he still persuaded with a smile, "General Pang doesn't need to be so anxious, now that the morale of the enemy army is high, I think I should defend the city first and wait for the opportunity." ”

As soon as Hu Zhen's words fell, Pang De over there immediately retorted, "General Hu! It is precisely because the morale of the enemy army is high that the general feels that he should go out of the city to meet the enemy first, so as to frustrate the enemy's morale! Moreover, Yang Ding's defection of the rebel thief caused the morale of the soldiers in the city to plummet, even if the general led the army to support, he could not improve much. If you defend the city in this case, you may lose it! ”

"This ......" Looking at Pound's determined face, Hu Zhen suddenly felt helpless. I have the heart to continue to persuade, but I don't know how to persuade him. On the one hand, the morale in the city is indeed very low, after all, Yang Ding led the army to run away directly, which is indeed a considerable blow to the morale of the Huayin defenders.

Although Hu Zhen continued to appease the soldiers, and emphasized that it was because Yang Ding and Lu Bu made a despicable and shameless deal that they finally gave up Hongnong. But in the eyes of many soldiers, it was actually Yang Ding who was afraid of Lu Bu and worried that he would be convicted by Ma Teng after the defeat, so he led the army to flee.

On the other hand, Hu Zhen did not want to clash with Pound. Because Pang De is a general of Fubo, his official rank is even higher than that of him, a lieutenant general. And when Ma Teng sent Pang De to arrive, he didn't say who had the final say between him and Hu Zhen. Although the practice of the Han Dynasty is that Zhonglang generals lead the troops, Pang De is Ma Teng's descendant! And what about his nonsense? Not only is he just a general, but not long ago, Yang Ding, who is as famous as him and is also a general, betrayed ......

In addition, his deputy general Liang Xing is also Pang De's descendant, and if he really wants to make trouble, Hu Zhen feels that his life is very likely to be saved.

On the side, Pang De looked at Hu Zhen's hesitant appearance, and his heart suddenly became even more disdainful. But on the surface, he still said politely, "General Hu, since the Li thief rebelled and raised troops, our army has been defeated in successive battles. On Zuo Fengyi's side, General Duan was so beaten by that Gao Shun that he didn't dare to go out of the city, and sat back and watched his division of troops bypass Linjin to attack Zuo Fengyi's various places. And on Hongnong's side, there is only one city left in Huayin without even fighting! Even many soldiers felt that when the soldiers of Na Lu Bu came to the city, we would not be able to hold it for a few days! ”

Speaking of this, Pang De showed an expression that could not be refused, and said in a deep voice, "So I thought that if I wanted to hold Huayin, I had to fight with the enemy army first, even if it was just a draw, it would be enough to restore the morale of the soldiers in the city!" ”

Seeing this, Hu Zhen had to sigh and said helplessly, "Since General Pang has made up his mind, let's do what General Pang wants." ”

"Thank you, General Hu!" Pound was overjoyed.

A few days later, after Lü Bu led his army to Huayin, Pang De led an army of 30,000 from Beijing out of Huayin City and set up a formation under the city. Although these 30,000 troops are not elite, in Pang De's heart, they are much stronger than those demoralized soldiers in Huayin City.

"Heh, I can't imagine that the enemy here not only didn't run, but also dared to go out of the city to fight our army in the field?" Lu Bu looked at the opposite formation and smiled easily, and there was no tension in his tone that a big battle was imminent.

"The prince of the palace should not underestimate the enemy, look at the enemy's banner, it should be Ma Teng's general Pang De, it is said that he was one of the six strong generals under Ma Teng in the past, and by virtue of his efforts to eradicate Dong Zhuo, he was worshiped as General Fubo......" Xu Shu on the side reminded.

It's just that as soon as Xu Shu's words fell, and before Lu Bu could say anything, he heard Guan Yu, Cao Xing and others on the side say one after another, "Fujun! Xia Guan is willing to lead an army to attack and behead Pang De's head dedicated to the king! ”

Obviously, Xu Shu's words did not make Guan Yu and the others vigilant at all, but made them excited because of the name of General Pang Dena. They don't know what Pound is capable of, but there is no doubt that as long as Pound is killed, it will be a great achievement!

"Hehe, you don't have to fight, since the enemy plans to defend the city, there are more opportunities for meritorious service." Seeing this, Lu Bu smiled and persuaded him.

"No!" Guan Yu and the others responded respectfully when they heard this, but they had secretly sworn in their hearts that they would kill Pang De in front of everyone.

It's just that at this moment, Lu Bu suddenly saw a horse driving out from the opposite formation, and when he reached the middle of the battlefield, he heard him shouting, "The general is the Han Fubo general Pang De Pang Lingming!" You traitors who followed the Li thief to rebel and plot to usurp the throne, when you see the arrival of the heavenly army led by Ben General, why don't you quickly dismount and surrender?! ”

"Humph! A little thief, how dare you speak wildly?! When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately became angry.

Lu Bu, who has been by Li Yi's side since he was a child, has been told by his ears that he has not been reinforced, which makes Lu Bu's arrogant personality a lot more restrained, or has no chance to show it at all. Especially after being entrusted with an important task by Li Yi, he showed a considerable degree of calmness and calmness. It's just that...... In this situation, Lu Bu obviously couldn't bear it.

In fact, not only Lu Bu, but also Guan Yu, Cao Xing, and even Xu Shu, who was a military advisor with the army, were extremely angry in their hearts. Because Li Yi is like a new parent for them, how can they tolerate the slander of others?

"Sudden thief, don't spew blood here! Do you know my Hanoi Cao Contract?! A loud shout sounded beside Lu Bu and the others, and then Cao Xuan was seen carrying a spear and going straight to Pang De.

"Tsk, this guy is questioned, and the reaction is really fast." Seeing this, Guan Yu's original anger suddenly turned into a stomach full of resentment and depression, you must know that he also wanted to kill it just now.

"Haha~ After all, he is a master of archery, and it is normal to react quickly~" Hearing Guan Yu's muttering, Lu Bu on the side suddenly laughed and said, where is the anger just now? Maybe in his opinion, Pound is already a dying man?

And Pang De, who was on the other side, saw Cao Xuan rushing over, especially after hearing the explosion, he suddenly showed disappointment, and shouted at the same time, "This general is a general of the imperial court, where do you know such a mountain and wild horseman as you?!" While shouting, he took a big knife and went up to meet him.

Soon, the two horses intersected, and Pound swung his big knife and slashed straight at Cao Xing. As soon as the so-called connoisseur makes a move, he knows if there is one, and just this knife makes the expressions of Lu Bu and others, who were originally in a relaxed mood, become solemn.

"Yun Chang, ready to answer at any time!" Lu Bu said in a deep voice. Although Pang De only made one knife, Lu Bu had already seen that Cao Xing was definitely not Pang De's opponent.

Hearing Lu Bu's words, Guan Yu nodded in response, and a pair of Danfeng eyes stared at Pang De, and at the same time, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes. After all, it is very difficult to meet an opponent of this kind of martial arts, especially if the opponent still uses a knife.

Speaking of which, is Cao Xing's martial arts weak? Not weak. Its own martial arts are quite good, especially in the few years in the flying cavalry camp, although it is not as good as Guan Yu and others, but it is also second only to their masters. It's just that compared with Pound, it's still a lot worse.

But in the field, Pound kept waving a big knife and slashing at Cao Xing, and in the face of these attacks, Cao Xing could only continue to resist, and occasional counterattacks were easily defused by Pound.

After about ten rounds, Cao Xing knew that he was invincible, so he had to force Pang De back with a false shot, and then pulled his horse and left. "I'm majoring in bows and arrows! I majored in bows and arrows! I majored in bows and arrows! While keeping an eye on Pound, Cao Xuan comforted himself in his heart, and at the same time bent his bow and arrow, waiting for Pound to chase after him, let him know what he was really good at.

And over there, when Pound saw Cao Xing retreating, where was he willing to follow? "The thief is gone!" only heard Pound shout, and then slapped the horse to chase after him. Although Cao Xing was just a nobody in his opinion, if he could be killed, it would definitely boost the morale of the troops.

It's just that just when Cao Xuan was about to save face with the bow and arrow in his hand, another loud shout came, "Traitor!" Hedong Guan Yun is here! Why don't you come and die quickly?! When he looked at the sound, he saw a red-faced and long-bearded man rushing out with a big knife.

"Tsk, poor fellow, I don't know how many knives I can hold." Seeing this, Cao Xing put away his bow and arrows, and at the same time thought with pity in his heart.

It's a pity that Pang De obviously doesn't know what Cao Xing thinks in his heart, or even if he does, he doesn't care at all.

"Want a wheel war? What am I afraid of?! Pang De shouted, and then abandoned Cao Xing and faced Guan Yu. At the same time, he was secretly happy in his heart, because he had already recognized Guan Yu. Well...... After all, he is Lu Bu's vanguard general, and his face is bearded......

"As long as he is slaughtered, the morale of the enemy army will inevitably plummet, and it is even likely that there will be a flaw! Or, then Lu Bu will not be able to resist and fight me to the death......" Pang De stared at Guan Yu deadly, while thinking secretly in his heart.

Soon, the two sides fought together, but it was different from Pound to Cao Xuan just now, but now this one was completely turned over, and as soon as they fought, Pound was firmly suppressed by Guan Yu.

saw Guan Yu wielding the Green Dragon Glaive Knife, and Pang De, who was beaten, could only resist it. "Bastard, how come a knife is heavier than a knife?!" Pound thought in shame in his heart, wanting to counterattack, but he couldn't find any opportunity at all.

However, after five rounds, Pang De did not dare to fight again, and tried his best to force Guan Yu back, and then pulled out his horse and left. But obviously, Guan Yu couldn't let Pang De escape. Not to mention Pound's slander of Li Yi, his title of General Fubo alone is enough to make Guan Yu's heart moved.

Seeing Guan Yu pursuing, Pang De suddenly had a plan, and while continuing to drive towards the main formation, he quietly took out a bow and arrow from his side. Estimating the distance, he turned back sharply, bent his bow and arrows in one go.

It's just that in the face of the sudden attack of the arrows, Guan Yu did not panic at all, and slashed the arrows with a knife in his hand, and at the same time shouted, "Pang De rat, come back quickly and die!" ”

Seeing this, Hu Zhen in the city hurriedly ordered the troops to rescue Pang De and return to the city, although he didn't like Pang De, but Hu Zhen didn't dare to let Pang De fold here. Over there, Lu Bu also waved his army to attack, intending to take the opportunity to attack the city in one fell swoop.

After a fight, Ma Tengjun finally blocked Li Yijun firmly outside the city. However, because Hu Zhen was not optimistic about Pound's actions at all, he had deployed a large number of troops on the city wall and in the city early to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the chaos to enter the city.

"Haha! is worthy of Yun Chang, and he cleaned up the Pound in three or two clicks. Leading the army to retreat to a position about three miles outside the city, Lu Bu laughed and praised while ordering the camp.

"Fu Jun praised it, but Pang De's martial arts are also good, but unfortunately he is too young." Guan Yu chuckled when he heard this, and at the same time revealed a trace of regret in his tone.

Although he was suspected of taking care of Cao Xing's face, he also told the truth. Guan Yu is just thirty this year, and he is at his peak. And what about Pound? is only in his early twenties, and although he is known as the six strong generals under Ma Teng, he may not have fought a few battles at all.

Hearing Guan Yu's words, Cao Xing, who was originally in a low mood on the side, suddenly smiled, "Having said that, Yun Chang, your kung fu to dodge arrows is getting better and better, you must know that you ...... at the beginning."

Before Cao Xing finished speaking, he was covered by Guan Yu's mouth, and he saw that his face was red, obviously ...... Nothing has changed.
