Retracting his thoughts, Li Cheng ordered someone to bring the enemy cavalry captured by Zhang Fei to the horse, looking at his attire, it should be an ordinary horseman, seeing his expression, it seemed that he was very afraid, Li Cheng directly raised his whip and asked: "Do you want to live?" ”

The captives fell to the snow and bowed, "Please spare your life, general!" ”

Three times five divided by two, Li Quan asked from the prisoner about the deployment outside Hefei City, but Lu Jun sent 500 people to garrison the field outside the city, a total of three camps, the first two camps were led by a tun commander, each with 100 people in the camp, and the last camp was led by Sima of the First Army, with 300 people under his jurisdiction.

After asking clearly, Li Quan did not break his promise, ordered someone to tie up the prisoners and bring them to the rear team, and said to Zhang Fei: "There are only 500 people, and they are divided into three places...... In this way, please Sima lead the 200 elite cavalry to break through the front two tuns, and after you win, I will personally lead the main force to smash the enemy camp outside the city! ”

Zhang Fei stuck his spear in the snow, patted his chest and said, "Why bother! Please ask the captain to give Zhang Fei another 200 horses, and you can trample the enemy camp into powder in one go! ”

Seeing that Zhang Fei was actively seeking to fight, Li Cheng knew that he must be a meritorious person, weighed it, and nodded: "According to Sima's words, I will allocate another two hundred to ride on you." ”

Zhang Fei was overjoyed, and his eyebrows fluttered: "Please wait for good news here." ”

......

......

Two hours later, Xu Chu, who had marched out of the camp again, rode on a horse, and Guo Jia, who was walking with the Lejin Department in front, rode to the Chinese army, and said happily to Xu Chu: "My lord, Li Cheng and Zhang Fei will capture Lu Junbu's three camps outside the city, and they are on their way to Hefei County at this time!" ”

An expected small victory was not enough to make Guo Jia happy, Xu Chu took the military report and took a look, only to know that Guo Jia was happy for Li Cheng and Zhang Fei's quick victory.

From the time they left Shu County to the present, calculating the time, but one night plus three hours, Lu Jun, who was already a little negligent because of Zhengdan, was very likely to be unable to react in such a short period of time, and even the city gate was too late to close.

If this is the case, maybe Li Quan and Zhang Fei will be able to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, rush in, and take the city easily.

With this expectation in mind, the army marched to the three camps that Zhang Fei had captured before, and a scribe under Li Quan's account came to report that the captured prisoners and baggage were in the innermost camp. Xu Chu then went over to take a look, and captured nearly 100 people, all of whom were tied up and held in the snow. After a cursory look at this camp, the facilities should be relatively complete, thinking that because there is an army stationed in this camp, Xu Chu also found that there is a drainage system in the camp.

In between, Xu Chu left 500 people stationed here, which could receive the baggage transported from Shu County later.

Immediately the army marched into Hefei Township, Li - the more important county capital of the Han Dynasty built a high city, often built with the official temple as the center, and the township outside the county seat was not among them, Xu Chu observed the landform of Hefei, and immediately put away the expectation in his heart, and said to Guo Jiadao: "Fengxiao, the counties in Hefei are hilly and hilly, low mountains and hills, low-lying plains, and heavy snowfall, I am afraid that Li Chuan and Zhang Fei will not be able to rush into the city gate before Lu Jun reacts." ”

Guo Jia nodded, at this time the front line sent a military report, as Xu Chu expected, Li Quan, Zhang Fei quickly stepped through the enemy camp in the field, but also thought of whether there was a chance to directly rush into the city, but because of the terrain, their cavalry speed advantage could not be exerted, and was detected by the enemy, so they felt that when Hefei County was under the city, the city gate had been raised, and the guards on the city had already climbed the city wall to defend one after another.

Xu Chu and the others can also be regarded as old soldiers, knowing that the troops are marching, even if they use various means to conceal their traces, it is still difficult to completely cut off the news, and the situation of 'soldiers and horses arriving in the city, and the city is still hurriedly deploying defenses' is actually very rare.

Xu Chu then decided to let the knights of Li Quan's command gallop around the city and shout to the city: "Zhaowu Marquis, General Xinghuya, and Xu Chu, the Taishou of Lujiang, rode 30,000 horses, in response to the will of heaven and the will of the people, and now I want to save the people of Jiujiang from fire and water." We are the vanguard of Xu Hou, the subordinates of the captain, hoping that the sergeants and people of the city can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and open the city to welcome each other, then there will be no crime in the autumn, if the city is stubbornly resistant, and wait for the day the city is broken, the slaughter will be set as an example. ”

Tu Cheng said that Xu Chu, who was a later generation, of course, was just talking casually, intended to make the people of Hefei lose their fighting spirit.

Li Cheng received the military order, and if he did so, the soldiers in Hefei City were still good, but the soldiers and people were panicked when they heard it.

......

......

Lu Jun put on armor and pressed his sword, standing solemnly in the hall, standing on the left and right of the military generals under his command, most of them had not even had time to change into armor and official uniforms.

As the highest military governor of Jiujiang County, Lu Jun has long been prepared to fight with Xu Chu sooner or later, but it is a pity that their backbone, Chen Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, has been sick in bed for a long time since the beginning of winter last year, so that he and Liu Miao and Zhu Hao had to divide and cooperate, one was stationed in Hefei, one governed the north of Jiujiang County, and the other stayed in Liyang to take charge of the affairs of the state capital.

The disadvantage is that without Chen Wen to control the overall situation, whether it is him, Liu Miao, or Zhu Hao, they can not implement their own policies well, and when they heard that Xu Chu was rectifying the rule of officials in the whole county, fighting with bandits in the south of the county, and Zhou Xin sent troops to Spring Valley, they were all secretly relieved. After several months of clinker, not only did Chen Wen's condition not improve as they hoped, but also at the time of Zhengdan, Xu Chu personally led the main force, known as 30,000 cavalry, and the soldiers came to Hefei City.

30,000 cavalry is just a bluff, Lu Jun has a general understanding of Xu Chu's troops, no matter what, it is impossible for the other party to transfer 30,000 people at this time, outside Hefei at this time, it is already too many to have 10,000 soldiers and horses. He said these words to the Chinese martial arts in the hall to calm the hearts of the people.

But someone replied: "Du Lieutenant, having said that, even if there are no 30,000 Lujiang soldiers who have entered the realm of Kou, the subordinates can hear it, Dian Wei, Le Jin, Li Quan, Zhang Fei and others are all fierce generals under Xu Hou's account, and Dong Zhuzhan fights, everyone has made meritorious contributions, Dong Zhuo was defeated and fled to Chang'an, and now he is committing my Jiujiang, silently driving for hundreds of miles, and the soldiers are coming to the city, it can be seen that they must have made sufficient preparations for this battle, with the troops in Hefei City, it is really difficult to defend. ”

This resonance aroused the resonance of many civil and military forces, and everyone's faces were worried, but one person sneered: "We have the city and the water as a support, Xu Chu has an army of 100,000, and it is difficult to attack the city in a short time. ”

Lu Jun looked at it, but it turned out to be Xu Gong.

Xu Gong is a native of Wu County, in his thirties, very famous in the local area, and he is friends with Xu Jing, a famous man in Runan, so last year, the state government sent someone to open his rites into the government, and is now Sima of other departments, but this is because Xu Gong's family has hundreds of guests.

Xu Gong's voice landed, and the rest of the people were ashamed, Lu Jun glanced at Xu Gong gratefully, and ordered everyone to follow him to the west city wall.

On the way, Xu Gong suggested: "Captain, the soldiers and horses of Lujiang have just arrived in the city, and their foothold is not stable, or at this time, we can send a fierce general to lead the dead soldiers out of the city to attack them and disrupt their positions, so that we can wait for reinforcements." ”

Lu Jun was even more surprised, and said happily: "With the king here, the city will not be lost." ”

However, Lu Jun did not send people out of the city in the end, because he had not had time to choose a candidate to go out of the city to attack the enemy, and Xu Chu had already ordered the siege of the city.

"This ......" Looking at the Lujiang soldiers carrying pontoon bridges and ladders under the city, Lu Jun was dumbfounded, "Why did you come so fast?!" ”
