Chapter 21 Xuzhou arrives
The sky was already dark, and in the big tent, Chen Qi left, leaving only Zhao Yun and his deputy general Xu Ding still in the tent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this Xu Ding is none other than Xu Chu's own brother. After Zhao Yun surrendered Xu Chu back then, Xu Chu and Xu Ding have been following Zhao Yun. Later, Xu Chu was introduced by Cao Cao into the guard, and together with Dian Wei, he became his personal bodyguard, but Xu Ding always followed Zhao Yun.
For this, whether it is Zhao Yun, Gao Ye, or Cao Cao, Xu Chu is happy to see it. After all, Xu Ding's ability is not as good as Xu Chu, Cao Cao promoted Xu Chu to enter the guard, but Xu Dingzhineng can only serve as a deputy general, so he is either with his younger brother Xu Chu, or with a certain general. In this case, it is better to follow Zhao Yun together. At least with a military general of Zhao Yun's level, he will definitely be able to get more credit on the battlefield. As for Gao Yexin, he already knew that although this Xu Ding was not as good as Xu Chu, it was not worse. During the Cao Cao period, the person who could be named General Zhenwei with military merits was definitely not a wine bag and a rice bag. Therefore, Gao Ye is also happy to see Zhao Yun's subordinates have a helper. Xu Ding was even introduced by Zhao Yun as a confidant, and it can be said that he really sat in the second position in Zhao Yunjun.
As soon as Chen Qi left, Xu Ding on the side squinted, looked at Chen Qi's back and said, "General, do you think this old man is credible?" What if the general enters the city tomorrow and follows the old man's way? ”
Zhao Yun smiled when he heard this: "Bo Kang, you are not participating in the deliberations in the lord's big account, and it is normal to have this question." I heard my eldest brother and my eldest brother Lu Zizhong say before, this old man Chen is really a scheming and scheming person. If I don't know the details, I will be suspicious of him. But you must know that his son Chen Yuanlong has long secretly taken refuge in the lord. Their Chen family in Xuzhou is now the shadow son of the lord buried in Xuzhou, so I think his words are credible. ”
"I see. However, this Chen Yuanlong's plan is vicious, although the general is brave, if he falls into that pit, he is afraid that he will be dead. This guy wants to dedicate the city, and secretly opened the city gate, why do you need to come up with such a poisonous plan? If it weren't for this old man saying it, hey! Xu Ding said with a long sigh.
"The lord ordered us to come and seize Xuzhou this time, and the most important thing is speed. If Chen Yuanlong opens the city gate, Xuzhou City is so big, I am afraid that Hou Cheng, Song Xian and I will have a street fight, and it will be difficult to clean it up at that time. The scout has come to report, Lu Bujun is now galloping to Xuzhou in the starry night, and he will be under the city of Xuzhou in a day or two, so I can't be careless. With Chen Yuanlong's plan, it is just right, to capture the thief and capture the king, and Xuzhou City can be taken down every day! Tomorrow I will take 500 of my guards into the city, and you will also take the rest of the men to ambush nearby. As long as I succeed, you will immediately bring people into Xuzhou City, and we will have to guard against the attack of Lu Bu's army. ”
"Well, general, don't worry!"
On the other side, in Lu Bu's camp, Chen Gong's face was full of defeat at this time, and even Lu Bu, who was at the top, had a sad face. Then he looked at Chen Gong and said, "Gongtai, what do you say I should do now?" ”
Chen Gong let out a long sigh when he heard this, and said, "I think, I'm afraid that I'm going to stick to Xiapi now." ”
"This, don't you want this Xuzhou? There are still Hou Cheng, Song Xian and 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Yuan Long, so Zhao Yun is only 5,000 cavalry, how can he capture Xuzhou City overnight? ”
"Even if Zhao Yun can't capture Xuzhou City, now that Xiao County has been lost, Xuzhou City is surrounded by enemies, and it is even more difficult to hold on. Langya's General Zang Ba came to report, Gao Ye personally raised 30,000 troops, and the soldiers surrounded Langya, and he was completely unable to help Wen Hou now. What's more......" Chen Gong paused when he said this, and then said: "General Zang Ba has not been very obedient to the lord's orders since last year, but I am afraid that this person is thinking more about how to protect himself now." ”
"Xuan Gao doesn't think that's going to happen, right?" Lu Bu was taken aback when he heard this.
"Alas, I don't want to guess the general like this, but now that Xiao County has been lost, I can't help but plan for the worst. Xiapi City is high and deep, surrounded by Surabaya and Yishui, and it is not easy for Cao's army to attack. Besides, Xiapi is adjacent to Huainan, if you can get Yuan Shu's help......"
"Don't mention that Yuan Highway again!" Lu Bu frowned when he heard this, "This person is now cowering in Hefei, and he has long been frightened by Cao Cao, how can he help me?" ”
"Alas, if things are not good, the lord can still give Guangling to Sun Ce and ask him to send troops to help, and Sun Bofu will gladly agree."
"Well, that's all for later! Tomorrow, I will hurry up and retreat to Zhao Zilong outside Xuzhou City first. ”
But he said that as soon as the morning dawned, the whole army of Lu Bujun hurried to the road. At this time, Zhao Yun had already taken his five hundred personal soldiers and slowly walked towards Xuzhou City. Above the city, Hou Cheng, who looked at Zhao Yun from a distance, couldn't help but be overjoyed, just these people, one point into the urn city, fell into the pit, that is not my Hou Cheng's bag? He was injured by Zhang Fei outside Xiao County that day and lost his horse, and now he is just making up for it!
Chen Deng on the side also smiled and said: "Zhao Yun is defeated here, General Hou, our army has been ambushed at this time, and go out of the city with General Song to lure Zhao Yun into the city." ”
Hou Cheng nodded yes, and then went out of the city with Song Xian to see Zhao Yun. Seeing Zhao Yun coming slowly with soldiers and horses, both of them bowed their hands to Zhao Yun on the horse, Hou Cheng took a step forward and said: "The last general, Hou Cheng, has long intended to take refuge in Lord Sikong and serve the imperial court, but there is no way out, so he will fight against the heavenly soldiers with Wen Hou." Now that the general is here, Hou Cheng specially presented Xuzhou City, thinking that he would enter the body, and asked General Zhao to accept it on his behalf, and Hou Cheng was grateful. ”
"Haha, General Hou dedicated Xuzhou City, saving a disaster of swords, Lord Sikong must be overjoyed." Zhao Yun said, arched his hand towards the west, and then dismounted and said: "Besides, you and I are also old acquaintances, the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, if it really fights, it will not be beautiful." ”
When Song Xian on the side heard this, he also nodded again and again: "Back then, in Wuyuan, we often drank and talked happily, but who knew that this time it was a war against each other." ”
Zhao Yun laughed when he heard this: "General Song's words are wrong. Now that you and General Hou have dedicated Xuzhou City, we are now friends rather than enemies, let's go, we will go to Xuzhou City together, and drink and talk! ”
Zhao Yun said and waved his hand, and then walked into the city gate first, Hou Cheng and Song Xian wanted to go back and enter, but who would have thought that they were squeezed behind Zhao Yun by Zhao Yun's personal guards. Zhao Yun saw that the two of them were struggling, and he directly pulled one with one hand, and walked straight to the city.
Everyone walked into the urn city, and when they saw that they were about to fall into the pit, Zhao Yun suddenly said coldly: "General Hou, General Song, digging a pit here and waiting for Zhao, it doesn't seem to be a way of hospitality, right?" ”
Hou Cheng and the two humanities were suddenly drenched in cold sweat, the ground in front of them was flat, almost the same as usual, how did Zhao Yun see that there was an ambush here? However, there was no need to care about so much in front of them, Hou Cheng and Song Xian immediately drew their swords and waved, forcing Zhao Yun to let go. The two jumped back and shouted, "Do it!" ”
Hou Cheng gave an order, but the rain of arrows did not come as promised, but the city killed the two of them's personal guards. Zhao Yun gave an order, but the five hundred guards behind him were killed directly, and there were still dozens of people, who were firmly guarding in front of the city gate, with a dozen banners, and urgently promised reinforcements. Although Zhao Yun didn't turn over and get on his horse at the moment, he drew his spear on his horse, and with one move, the green dragon went to sea and came straight to Hou Chengmian.
That Hou Cheng has followed Lu Bu for a long time, not to mention that everyone is an old acquaintance of the Five Plains, how can they not know how powerful Zhao Yun is, and hurriedly raised his sword to block, Song Xian saw that Hou Cheng was in crisis, and even raised his sword to help the battle. It's a pity that although the two of them can be regarded as martial arts, it's a pity that the two of them combined are also not Zhao Yun's opponents. Especially after Xu Ding's killing, the overall situation in the urn city can be said to have been decided.
Zhao Yun immediately shouted, the tip of the gun shook, and a spear flower stabbed straight towards Song Xian, Song Xian saw that the gun was extremely fast, and secretly screamed in his heart, so he hurriedly retreated. Hou Cheng, who was behind Zhao Yun, took a step forward and stabbed straight at Zhao Yun's back heart with a sword. How do you know that Zhao Yun seemed to have eyes behind him, and when the sword was about to arrive, he suddenly turned around, the gun turned around, and slashed straight at Hou Cheng, who hurriedly raised his sword to block. That Song Xian slashed with a sword at this time, Zhao Yun didn't even turn his head, he pulled the barrel of the gun with his left hand, and the small branch of the gun tail stabbed Song Xian's lower abdomen, and Song Xian hurriedly jumped back. Zhao Yun's body followed the gun, turned back, his left hand was smooth, the tip of the gun went straight out from Zhao Yun's lower abdomen, and stabbed Hou Cheng's lower abdomen, Hou Cheng was horrified in his heart, and hurriedly dodged sideways, who knew that Zhao Yun was a false move this time, and he himself was ravaging his body, and punched Hou Cheng in the face, and Hou Cheng was beaten in the eye.
At this time, in the urn city, the war had basically ended, and Zhao Yun immediately shouted: "Tie up with me!" Immediately, a group of soldiers came to capture Hou Cheng who fell to the ground. Song Xian on the side saw Zhao Yun looking at him, and he drowned a mouthful of saliva, now that the urn city has been occupied by Zhao Yun, and the inner city gate can't be opened, it seems that he is only afraid that he will die here today.
I saw Zhao Yun raise the silver spear in his hand, and then said coldly: "Song Xian, the matter has come to this, why fight again?" Let's go down! ”
"You! I ......" Song Xian didn't know what to say for a while.
"Your skills are too different from mine, even if you fight again, you will end up like Hou Cheng, why bother? Chen Yuanlong has long been a minister under my lord's command, do you still want to go into the city to transfer troops? ”
When Song Xian heard this, he looked at Zhao Yun directly, especially when he saw that Chen Deng was already standing on top of the tower in the inner city, and he understood in his heart that what Zhao Yun said was not wrong. This Chen Deng played himself and Hou Chengcheng! also asked his old father to go to Cao Ying to deceive him, which was clearly to make a plan, and he should be in harmony with the outside. There is now a reasonable explanation for why his and Hou Cheng's personal soldiers appeared here instead of ambushing the city tower as planned.
Song Xian thought of this, then nodded, dropped the long sword in his hand, and said loudly to Chen Deng on the city tower: "Mr. Chen is a good plan, but it hurts my brother!" Song Xian didn't wait for Chen Deng to speak, then looked at Zhao Yun, sighed and said, "That's it, the matter has come to this, I, Song Xian, have surrendered!" Dropped ......"
