In mid-May, Zhonglang General Tai Shici received an order to occupy the Lu State, and he was overjoyed that he finally had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Fang Liang also informed that the lieutenants of Langya County and Yangcheng County cooperated and jointly sent troops to fight.

Zhang Meng, the Zhonglang general stationed in Chengyang County, moved to Langya County as Tai Shici's backup.

After Fan Cai, the governor of Chengyang County, was transferred to the frustration office, Zhang Meng, the governor of Langya County, was also promoted to Zhonglang General and no longer held the position of lieutenant, and the county lieutenant was all served by senior generals arranged by Gao Shun.

Let Tai Shici occupy and garrison the Lu State, which is Gao Shun's training for him.

Tai Shici led 10,000 cavalry from his headquarters to set off first, followed by 5,000 infantry escorting grain and grass supplies.

The thief Shouchang originally estimated that Qingzhou would not interfere with his actions, and only Yanzhou and Yuzhou were worried, if Xuzhou interfered, he would take refuge in Xuzhou by the way; Now Qingzhou is the first to beat him, which makes him feel embarrassed, and in this case, it is estimated that Xuzhou will not dare to take him in.

Therefore, after everyone discussed, Chang decided to surrender to the imperial court and obtain the name of righteousness; For Niu Fu and Lu Bu, who were close at hand, Chang decisively chose Niu Fu and sent someone to Changyi to contact him immediately.

Niu Fu was very happy about Chang Laitou, and immediately appointed Chang as a lieutenant and asked him to bring people here.

In Niu Fu's opinion, since Chang and the others were expelled from Qingzhou, they had a great hatred with Qingzhou, so let Chang lead the men and horses of his headquarters to garrison the east gate of Changyi, surround Changyi City, and prohibit the entry and exit of caravans.

Chang and the others were born as bandits, and now that they have backers, they are no longer afraid of the officers and soldiers of Qingzhou, and they will naturally not be polite to the caravans in Qingzhou; The minister of Rencheng could not send officers and soldiers to attack, so he had to stop the material aid to Changyi City.

This was a big blow to Liu Dai and others in the city, and it had a great impact on the morale of the officers and men, but fortunately, there was no shortage of food and arrows in the city in a short period of time, and the mood of the people was quite stable.

Qingzhou cavalry suddenly expelled the bandits, occupied the Lu country, so that the surrounding states and counties were surprised, Qingzhou did not occupy the Lu country when did not feel the importance of the Lu country, and now it was suddenly occupied by Qingzhou, all found that Qingzhou was really superior.

Yanzhou and Yuzhou are now in chaos, and they are too busy to take care of themselves, and they don't care too much about the affairs of Lu State; They were all busy doing defensive things.

Tao Qian had no intention of aiding Yanzhou, and now he didn't dare to move, so it was better to wait and see; As for the affairs of Lu State, this increased the security of Xuzhou and prevented Xuzhou from being affected by the war in Yanzhou, and Tao Qian did not care too much.

It was Gongsun Zhan who couldn't make up his mind, now that Qingzhou had seized the Lu State, Xiaopei was only a few dozen miles away from his station, and the cavalry could reach it with a charge, which directly threatened his safety; As for the aid to Yanzhou, he also wants to wait and see before saying that the situation is too complicated now.

The people who went to ask for help have not returned for a long time, and Liu Dai, Zhang Chong and others also knew that the result would definitely not be good, and the isolated city of Changyi City would be difficult to defend, and sooner or later it would be breached.

Time did not allow Liu Dai and the others to take other measures, and the onslaught had begun outside the city.

By mid-June, Niu Fu was also anxious, and announced to the officers and soldiers that after the city was broken, the troops who were the first to conquer the city gate could plunder freely in the city for three days, and the spoils of war would belong to the officers and soldiers and would not have to be handed over.

With such a policy, not only Niu Fu's troops went crazy, but even Lu Bu was very concerned, dividing the army into several groups and carrying out wave attacks, never allowing the defenders of the city to have a chance to breathe.

Chang brought more than 60,000 people from the Lu State, and the number of people who could go to the battlefield reached 20,000, occupying an absolute military advantage. He had just defected to Niu Fu and was determined to make meritorious contributions, so he attacked more violently.

Those bandits are people who can't survive, once they lose their restraint, they will be unscrupulous, and they have long been wiped out in the killing, not only to others, but also to themselves, and it is simply fatal to attack.

Collect materials from the surrounding area and make wooden ladders, wooden shields, crash cars and other tools; Erect arrow towers in the city, shoot at the officers and soldiers in the city, and cover the siege of the people under the city.

Wooden ladders were knocked down, and many people fell from them, breaking their muscles and bones.

Stones, rolling logs, etc., continued to fall from the city, and those who were hit were all killed immediately, even if they were scratched, they would also be seriously injured.

Hot oil and hot water were poured from the castle, and if they sticked, they were seriously injured, and under the circumstances, death was caused by infection.

It happened to be the middle of the month, and there was bright moonlight at night, shining on the fierce battle between the two sides.

On many occasions, the besiegers attacked the city walls, but were repelled by the defenders led by Liu Dai.

Both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the city was covered with thick corpses, many of which had been burned by the fire and mutilated.

In the hot summer, the corpses were uncollected, and there was a foul smell that made the officers and soldiers defending the city feel sick.

The attack continued for several days, and by the 17th of June, the men of the city could no longer hold on; Not to mention the soldiers who defended the city, even Liu Dai and others also looked haggard and were unable to hold on.

Liu Dai negotiated with Zhang Chong and others and decided to surrender to the city, otherwise, the whole city would die tragically.

Zhang Zhong and others tearfully agreed to Liu Dai's suggestion.

Send someone out of the city to negotiate with Niu Fu.

Niu Fu and others were also exhausted from the attack, so they agreed to Liu Dai and others to surrender, and promised not to slaughter the people of Chengnei, but Liu Dai and Zhang Chong must lead the people in the city out of the city to surrender.

Lu Bu was very dissatisfied with this, if they didn't slaughter the city, how could they plunder the booty?

After the envoy returned to Changyi City, Niu Fu smiled and said: "Feng Xian misunderstood, I just agreed not to slaughter the people in the city, did not promise not to rob their property, did not promise not to sell them into slavery, you must know that no one can exchange a lot of food from the champion Hou, so many people, won't we make a small fortune?" At that time, Feng Xian's share must be indispensable. ”

After receiving Niu Fu's personal promise, Lu Bu returned to the camp in the north of the city with confidence.

On the morning of June 19, Liu Dai and Zhang Chong, for the sake of the lives of the people in the city, endured humiliation and burden, and ordered the door to open the door and surrender, and they did their best.

All the soldiers laid down their arms and went out of the city one after another, along with the people of the city.

Niu Fu divided these surrendered people into four parts, and held them separately, and they will be taken possession of each person after exchanging supplies in the future.

Liu Dai and Zhang Pet were brought into Niu Fu's big tent.

Liu Dai's posture was very low, and he thanked Niu Fu and said: "Dai has seen General Zhonglang, thank General Zhonglang for his kindness, and thank General Zhonglang for his grace not to kill on behalf of the people in the city." ”

Niu Fu's officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and it was difficult to calm the resentment in the hearts of the officers and soldiers without killing, Niu Fu didn't understand the etiquette of the Kwantung people, facing Liu Dai and Zhang Pet, Niu Fu said viciously: "Haha, Liu Tingshi and Zhang Taishou, please rest assured, this official will definitely treat those people well, and will definitely let them live a good life, but as an official of the imperial court, you have rebelled against the imperial court, and the crime is unforgivable." ”

Liu Dai and Zhang Chong's families have already moved to Qingzhou, and they have no worries now, Liu Dai said with a smile: "Dai took his own life to exchange the safety of the people in the city, it is worth it." ”

Niu Fu was also ruthless, and ordered Liu Dai and Zhang Chong to be tied to the flagpole of Yuanmen to show the public, and ordered a group of officers and soldiers to be guarded, and no one was allowed to approach, let alone provide drinking water and food.

Liu Dai and Zhang Pet were already exhausted, and they suffered on the flagpole for two days, unable to withstand the scorching sun, and died, martyrdom!

The materials in Changyi City, as spoils of war, were divided by Niu Fu, Lu Bu and others, of course, Niu Fu took the lion's share.

This move not only made the people full of hatred for the Liangzhou army, but even those people of the scholar clan no longer had illusions about the Liangzhou army.

Fortunately, in order to trade supplies with the champion Hou, the Liangzhou army did not abuse those who surrendered.
