Fan Chou was very calm, even after confirming from the mouth of the spies that Dong Zhuo had been killed, Ma Teng had completely controlled the imperial court, and the news that Duan Xuan had chosen to surrender to Ma Teng, his expression still did not change much. In other words, as early as when he saw the panicked look of the spy, Fan Chou had already guessed such a result.

Of course, the accidental death of Wang Yun and Li Su made the imperial court controlled by Ma Teng, which was indeed beyond Fan Chou's expectations, but at this moment, but for him at this time, this matter is actually not so noteworthy.

"Pass the order, Kaesong surrender......" Fan Chou said calmly, his expression was neither happy nor sad.

"Yes......" The soldier didn't say anything when he heard this, just lowered his head and left.

And after the soldier left, Fan Chou sat in his position and looked out of the door calmly, for a long time, picked up a pot of wine beside him and slowly sprinkled the wine on the ground, "Dong Gong, this pot of wine can be regarded as a parting wine sent to you." If there is a chance, Chou will avenge you......" Fan Chou said in a flat tone, watching the wine in the pot spill on the ground, splashing one after another hops.

As mentioned earlier, at this time, Fan Chou really doesn't have many choices to make, but Duan Xuan chose Ma Teng, and Fan Chou chose Li Yi. Maybe Li Yi also participated in the plan to eradicate Dong Zhuo, but Li Yi and Dong Zhuo were originally hostile, and Ma Teng ...... Fan Chou could not tolerate his defection to Ma Teng, the traitor who betrayed and killed Dong Zhuo.

On the other side, in Wenxi City, Li Wei also made the same choice as Fan Chou, but compared with Fan Chou, he had one more reason, Niu Fu ran away......

In fact, it is nothing if Niu Fu ran away, the key is that when Niu Fu fled from Anyi, he also took away the army stationed in Anyi and the troops in the surrounding counties. In this way, even if Li Dao wants to withdraw, he can't withdraw, and he can't escape all the way back to Chang'an with the 30,000 people in the city, right? That was simply a target for Li Yijun's cavalry!

And if Li Dao is allowed to abandon the army and escape alone, it will be even more impossible. It's not that Li Dao is reluctant to let go of those subordinates, but because he knows that it will be more dangerous to flee alone in this situation. After all, a lot of money and clansmen are not too dangerous without the protection of the army.

Li Dao Kaicheng surrendered, and Lu Bu was naturally overjoyed by this.

"Haha! You can rest assured that as long as you serve the Lord faithfully, the Lord will not treat you badly. Lu Bu patted Li Dao's shoulder and laughed and said with relief.

Hearing this, Li Dao didn't seem to be able to react anything other than smiling bitterly. However, Lu Bu didn't care about this, and after just a few words of relief, he began to take the next step. Because he knew that this was just a normal reaction of the general, and after a while, it would be like that.

It's like Yang Feng and others, who were defeated and surrendered in the past, are not doing a good job under their own command now? Even when they learned that there was going to be a war, they were the most excited about them.

However, although Li Dao's surrender made Lu Bu very happy, in fact, taking Wenxi was already expected by Lu Bu. Because even if Li Dao does not surrender, after learning the news of Dong Zhuo's murder, he will definitely be in chaos, and at the same time, the morale of the defenders in the city will plummet, in that case, as long as Lu Bu wants to attack, and the enemy has no reinforcements to support, it is impossible for Wenxi City to hold it.

It's just that the news he got from Li Dao's mouth made Lu Bu overjoyed, and he was even a little excited. Because...... Ushisuke ran away! Although Lu Bu didn't know why Niu Fu would abandon the city and run away so simply, and at the same time despised him very much, but for Lu Bu at this time, these were not important at all, the important thing was that the opportunity to take over the entire Hedong had come!

Immediately, Lu Bu let Xiahou Lan, Cheng Lian, and Li Dao guard Anyi, and he led the army all the way to the southwest to kill. On the other side, Zhao Yun also had no intention of capturing Xia Yang and withdrawing his troops, and after Fan Chou surrendered, he immediately sent troops to Jaw Yang, intending to expand the results as much as possible before Duan Xuan arrived.

And on the other side.

"Alas, did Zizhong choose to submit to Li Yi?" After Duan Xuan got the news of Fan Chou's submission, he sighed helplessly. He didn't blame Fan Chou, as if he had submitted Ma Teng, but it was just a personal choice.

"Retreat, retreat to Linjin, there's no need to take risks for the sake of Jawyang...... Duan Xuan said after a moment of silence. At this time, he had just left Linjin, and if he wanted to go to Jawyang, he would have to walk for at least a few days, and this was still in a desperate hurry. It's just that for Jawyang, can he hold out until he arrives without reinforcements? Duan Xuan didn't report any hope.

And there is a more important reason, that is, compared to Qiyang, Linjin is much closer to Gaoling, and there are also waterways to support back and forth. In this case, retreating to Linjin is more cost-effective than rushing to Jawyang to rescue. After all, after losing Xia Yang, Jaw Yang is almost no different from Lonely City.

In this regard, Zhao Yun, who attacked Jawyang, was also very clear, so after leading the army to capture Jawyang, he left Zhang Liao and Xu Shu to guard Jawyang, and he took Fan Chou to the east to start attacking Hedong County, instead of continuing to attack Linjin in the south.

At the same time, after Lü Bu left Anyi, he swept all the way through the series of battles, and the defenders in those places with low morale and deep panic could not resist Lü Bu's offensive at all.

However, on the way to attack, Lu Bu encountered a small episode.

"It's indeed that Niu Fu......" Lu Bu looked at the head in the box and said flatly.

"That ......" The man kneeling in front of Lu Bu looked at Lu Bu expectantly, his name was Hu Chi'er, and he was Niu Fu's cronies.

At this moment, Wei Yue walked in quickly and said to Lu Bu, "Fu Jun, I have already inquired, this Hu Chi'er killed Niu Fu because he was greedy for Niu Fu's money." Later, he was worried that he would not be able to escape, so he chose to surrender to Fujun. ”

In a word, before Lu Bu could speak, Hu Chi'er over there was already so shocked that he hurriedly defended, "Fujun, the villain really wants to serve Fujun, and the money is indeed the property that Niu Fu looted, but it is the villain's plan to ......."

Without waiting for Hu Chi'er to finish speaking, Lu Bu directly interrupted him, "Enough!" That Niu Fu regards you as a cronie, but you chose to betray and kill the lord when your lord was in danger, how dare I use you for such an act? Speaking of this, Lu Bu glanced at the frightened Hu Chi'er with disdain and sneered, "Pull it out and cut it!" ”

After killing Hu Chi'er and other people who killed the lord and sought glory, Lu Bu continued to lead the army to sweep Hedong. On the other side, when the news reached Hongnong, the panicked Dong Yue was also killed by his subordinate general Yang Ding, and then while gathering troops to guard against the enemy in Hedong, he sent people to Chang'an to ask for merit.
