Chapter 166

After a while, Cao Xuan pulled a carriage and walked to Lu Bu's side, and Lu Bu smiled and put the reluctant but obedient Zhao on his face into the carriage. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When he turned around, his complexion changed, and his momentum also changed strongly, and his cold eyes swept over these captives.

"General Cao also told you that you are waiting, Yuan Shu's grain and grass have been burned, and I am afraid that the time of defeat is not far away." After a pause, his eyes rolled, and Sen Han said: "Today, I will give you two roads, death or life, there is absolutely no third way." ”

"I am willing to serve Wen Hou to death." Everyone responded in unison, Yuan Shu's situation Cao Xuan has already said, isn't being a soldier fighting is just selling his head to eat, and following Lu Bu is better than following Yuan Shu, who is about to be defeated.

There was an exclamation in the carriage, but there was a sudden pause, Zhao covered his mouth stiffly, lifted the curtain and looked at Lu Bu outside, this person was actually Lu Bu.

A moment later, the maids hurriedly walked out with the butler.

"I don't know, what does the general mean by this?" The butler asked as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Lu Bu ignored him first, and said to these maids: "You wait for a few to go in and serve Madame." ”

"No."

Seeing that several people had come into the carriage, he turned to the butler and said, "This mansion and the large farmland around it will all belong to you in the future, and the lady will take it away." ”

"The general can't finish this game." This person can be regarded as loyal, and he is not worried that his wife will follow Lu Bu.

Lu Bu snorted coldly, turned over and rode on the red rabbit, took the Fang Tian painting halberd handed over to the left and right, pointed to his nose and said: "What Lao Tzu said in this Xuzhou, no one dares to disagree, as for those people, they will be raised here first." ”

Fang Tian waved his halberd again, and shouted: "To the north, go to Xiapi." ”

Only the butler was left there to look at Lu Bu's back blankly, and the weapon seemed to be the legendary Fang Tian Painting Halberd.

It was still cloudy, and there was a slight mist in the air, but some people got up early.

In Yuan Junshuai's tent, Yuan Shu knelt alone on it, holding the white silk with handwriting on his hand in a daze, and the urgent report from Xu County was sent by the fast horse, Xu County's Taishou was killed, and all the grain and grass were burned except for the thousands of stones rescued. Yuan Shu only had three words in his head, impossible.

Didn't the news just come from Guangling yesterday, Lu Bu only brought a few hundred remnants of the army to break through, and the other armies were trapped in Guangling City by Sun Ce, and Xu County has thousands of soldiers and horses to guard, plus the power of the city wall, it should be impregnable to deal with hundreds of people, why is it burned with a fire, it is hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass, if you say no, it will be gone.

"Someone." Yuan Shu sorted out his thoughts, and summoned in a somewhat hoarse voice.

"Your Majesty." A eunuch entered the tent and bowed humbly.

"Go and summon Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, and Ji Ling to come in." Touching his throat, which was a little dry, he commanded.

"No." The eunuch bowed and retreated.

Reaching out and pouring himself a cup of tea, he drank it and shook his head again before he felt better.

After a while, Yang Hong and the three of them rushed in, "I don't know what happened when Your Majesty summoned the ministers?" With some fighting eyelids, the chief bookkeeper Yan Xiang took the lead in speaking.

"Look at what's written on it." Yuan Shu actually showed a slight smile, crumpled the white silk in his hand into a ball, and threw it to the ground.

Yan Xiang stepped forward suspiciously, picked up the white silk, and handed it to his eyes, "This." His eyes widened with disbelief.

Yang Hong, who was beside him, curiously took the white silk in Yan Xiang's hand, and also showed the same expression.

"What's written on this?" Ji Ling snatched the white silk from Yang Hong's hand with a big grin, leaned in front of him and looked at it, immediately froze, and then shouted loudly: "Xu County Taishou was killed, and the grain ......." ”

But it was Yuan Shu who took the case and shouted: "Shut up." ”

Ignoring Ji Ling, who had a strange expression, he asked Yang Hong instead, "What do you think?" ”

"We should retreat as soon as possible and return to Shouchun, and if it is late, there will be changes." Bowing his head and pondering for a while, Yang Hong said categorically.

"Hmph, how can it be so easy, the current grain and grass in the army can indeed support returning to Shouchun, but what can I do after returning to Shouchun? There is no food to eat, and the soldiers are still in reverse. A trace of ruthlessness flashed on Yan Xiang's usually elegant face, "It's better to forcibly attack the four gates day and night, and when Xiapi is broken, the grain and grass hoarded in the city will naturally solve the problem." ”

"If the city guards order all the grain and grass to be burned, I'm afraid it's too late to retreat." Yang Hong objected loudly.

"Hmph, retreating is to sit and wait for death, but entering is a fish to die and the net is broken, even if it is cheaper for the other princes, I have to destroy Lu Bu first." Yuan Shu was angry and roared.

Holding the case, he suppressed his anger and ordered: "Yang Hong and Yan Xiang are responsible for dispatching and controlling the little grain and grass left, Ji Ling divided thousands of troops to attack the north gate, and then ordered Zhang Xun and Liu Xun to attack the city gate with all their might, and they had to light torches at night." ”

"No." The people took the command and departed.

The drums surged, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

In front of the south gate, Yuan Shu personally supervised the battle in the rear, and under his harsh orders, Yuan troops stormed the blood-stained city wall.

Above the city, Cheng Lian's face was haggard, and he shouted loudly with red eyes for the soldiers to splash the little boiling oil left.

But Yuan's soldiers climbed from the ladder to the city wall in an endless stream, and the hot oil, huge stones, and whistling arrows seemed to be unable to play their due role.

"It's really evil, it wasn't so fierce yesterday." Cao Xuan couldn't help muttering, if it went on like this, he had to break through with the remnants of the army to protect the master mother.

"General Cheng Lian, General Zhang called you." A remnant with a broken arm walked up to Cheng Lian and bowed.

"Got it." A trace of admiration flashed in Cheng Lian's eyes, not only did he lose more than 1,500 people that night, but Zhang Liao's life was probably also hanging, after coming back, he bandaged his wound and took some medicine, Lang Zhong said that the fastest wake-up would be two or three days later, if he didn't wake up for half a month, there would be no hope.

But I didn't want Zhang Liao's guy to be a cockroach, so he woke up the next day, and even ate a few bowls of rice porridge, and on the third day, he could lie on the door panel, and help command the soldiers to guard the city on the city wall, and the bullshit man who watched it was dumbfounded.

"What's wrong, Wenyuan? It's bustling outside. As soon as Cheng Lian came in, he took cold water and poured it violently, and asked after a few grunts.

"Zixia, the situation doesn't seem right, now Yuan Shu has even begun to attack the north gate, so he has no choice but to mobilize more than 500 reserve soldiers to help defend the city." Although Zhang Liao was lying on the bed, he was full of anger.

"The situation is already like this, no matter how bad it is, it will be broken at most." Cheng Lian also saw it, anyway, it was just a death.

Different from Cheng Lian, Zhang Liao said solemnly: "We can die in battle, but the master mother and the young lady must not have anything to do, and when I got the news that Yuan Shu attacked Xiapi, I selected five hundred sergeants from the army to prevent accidents."

After a pause, he said in a tone of explaining the future: "Whether the housewife and others can break through at that time depends on Zixia." ”

"Wenyuan."

……….

At noon, Lu Bu and the others arrived at a small forest more than thirty miles south of Yuan Shu's camp and stopped, and sent a Dubo to inquire about the news.

About two hours later, the Dubo rode back with his bloodied soldiers.

"Lord, I met a small group of Yuan Jun's scouts on the road, captured one person, and annihilated the rest." Duber reported.

Lu Bu sat in front of the carriage and asked impatiently, "What's the news of Xiapi?" What is Yuan Jun's movement? ”

"Yuan Shu was originally attacking three gates, but now he is attacking four gates, Xiapi is already crumbling, but there is no movement in Yuan Shu's army." Seeing that Lu Bu seemed to be a little displeased with his nonsense, Du Bo hurriedly replied.

Lu Bu laughed and said to Cao Xing: "It seems that Yuan Shu wants to capture Xiapi alive or dead, but the grain and grass are burned, does he think he will hide it?" ”

After laughing, Lu Bu said with a solemn face: "Take 100 people as a team, divided into three teams." went to the various camps of Yuan Jun to shout, and he was going to let everyone know that he Yuan Shu had run out of food. ”

"No." Cao Xing took 300 people and left.

His two teams were led by partial generals, divided into left and right, and went to the east and west camps of the Yuan army, and led the team in person.

Approaching cautiously all the way, while looking at the six roads.

"General, a group of scouts have been spotted in the front right, numbering about ten people." A pawn who was scouting the way ahead reported.

The closer they got to Yuan Shu's camp, the greater the density of scouts, and this was the eighth scout squad that Cao Xing and they encountered.

Cao Xuan turned over and dismounted, stepped forward slightly, and lay on a dirt slope to observe, in front of him was an open area, about two hundred meters away, scattered a few war horses, there was a team of scouts resting under a big tree, drinking water and swimming leisurely.

"Get on the horse, outflank them in two ways, and be sure to annihilate them all." Cao Xuan waved his hand and ordered.

More than 100 cavalrymen immediately mounted their horses and galloped in two directions, enveloping in an arc.

The scout captain heard the shaking ground, and his face changed. "This guy is very experienced, and judging only by the sound of horses' hooves, the enemy is only a small group.

But is it useful, after a while, Cao Xing's cavalry was a hundred paces away, but this group of scouts had just mounted their horses.

More than 100 people shot through the rain of arrows, and they almost shot people into hedgehogs, but the captain relied on his wit, leaned on his horse to grab the rain of arrows, and fled north.

"What about the general?" A Dubber is in a hurry.

"Let's go, don't worry about the scouts, anyway, Yuan Shu's camp is not far away, ride a horse to the north, and finish the affairs of the main bus generation first." Cao Xuan shouted loudly.

"But those who are afraid of entering and can't get out." Duber is still worried.

"So much nonsense." Cao Xuan is on fire, of course Cao Xuan knows these things.

But. Cao Xuan is absolutely confident in the escape skills of his subordinates. Moreover, judging from the information received, there is no large force of cavalry in Yuan Shu's battalion, for infantry. Cao sex is contempt from the inside out.

galloped at full speed all the way, and encountered scouts along the way, and after a moment of planting, he arrived outside Yuan Shu's camp.

"Brothers, open your throats and shout loudly." Cao Xing laughed loudly.
