Chapter 498: The Decisive Battle is a Kill

Pengcheng is what later generations called Xuzhou. Whole\Ben\Small\Say\Net

It is known as the key to the north and the gateway to the south. According to legend, Peng Zu, the great-great-grandson of Zhuan, lives here. At the end of the Shang Dynasty, he died at the age of 767.

The name of Pengcheng is also because of Peng Zu.

Pengcheng is in the downstream of the tributary of the Huaishui, with the old channel of the Yellow River as the watershed, forming the northern water system, and the rivers and lakes in the territory are densely scattered.

Since Liu Bei and Cao Cao joined forces, Cao Cao's defense area was divided into Xiapi, and 200,000 troops were entrenched at the junction of Donghai County and Xiapi with Weishan Lake as the center, and Dong's soldiers and horses were maneuvering. In order to show the sincerity of his alliance, Cao Cao gave up Pengcheng and asked Liu Bei to send troops and horses to guard it. This is equivalent to telling Liu Bei that the gateway to Xuzhou will be handed over to you for protection now.

In exchange, Liu Bei also generously handed over Donghai County and Langya County to Cao Cao to control, and the taxes in the county were all allocated by Cao Cao.

At this point, no one has the heart to intrigue.

The so-called principle that cooperation is good and division is harmful, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are very clear. As long as there is no disagreement between the two of them, the covenant is not broken.

Today, Pengcheng's guard is named Lu Zhu.

He was originally a big family in Xuzhou, and he once had the credit of welcoming Liu Bei to Xuzhou. Liu Bei also trusted Elk Zhu very much, and even had the idea of marrying Elk Zhu for a time. It's a pity that Lu Zhu's sister-in-law Lu Zhen seems to be reluctant, ran away from home, and has not returned.

It is said that Lu Zhu has a brother who is now doing business overseas and is quite wealthy.

It's just that Liu Bei hasn't seen this person, and since he entered Xuzhou, Lu Zhu's brother has not returned to Xuzhou. But. Gifts are often given. If Liu Bei was at the beginning. Don't trust Elk. But almost ten years have passed, and Lu Zhu can be said to be dedicated to Liu Bei, and to a large extent, Liu Bei is relying on Lu Zhu's financial resources to gain a firm foothold.

Before. Liu Bei has a lot of available landers.

But now, the dead are dead, and the ones who are descending are descending...... Wu can't be Zhang Yan and Wang Fei, and Wen can't be Sima Lang Luzhu. As for the frustration, although Liu Bei was nominally surrendered, after entering Xuzhou, he couldn't do anything. Until Yuan Shao died. He also died of hunger strike.

Although the name is detrimental. But his integrity still exists, which can be regarded as his loyalty to Yuan Shao.

Liu Bei was extremely sad, but he was helpless. Now, he can only use Elk Zhu to guard Pengcheng for him and protect Peiguo's flanks.

The spring rain in the sixth year of Taiping is particularly numerous.

The misty drizzle, like a silk mist, shrouded the sky over Pengcheng, giving people an extremely oppressive feeling.

After inspecting the city defense as usual, Lu Zhu did. Back in the mansion. He changed his clothes and sat alone in the hall, silent in thought.

Time flies!

Twenty years ago, Dong took his brother and threatened him. made Lu Zhu have to take refuge in Dong. In these twenty years. Elk Zhu is frightened, always worried about one day. His identity as an inner room was revealed, and none of the elk's family survived.

Sometimes, he gritted his teeth and forgot that he was an inner place, and assisted Liu Bei in running Xuzhou.

The pressure in this is only known to Lu Zhu himself...... Previously, there was also an elk dragon by his side...... Oh, that person is actually called Dong Long, and he accompanies him to talk, analyze, and share the pressure on Lu Zhu's body. But now, Elk Long has successfully retired and returned to Chang'an.

There is only one person left in Xuzhou, who knows the sadness of this?

Now, the Great War is coming to an end......

But Lu Zhu was getting more and more nervous in his heart. He knows very well that the more times like this, the more he can't let his guard down and show his flaws.

God knows how many eyes and ears of Liu Bei are in this Pengcheng?

Hurry up and end it!

Every time he thought of this, he felt like he was going crazy.

After a few glasses of wine, Elk Zhu had a feeling of exhaustion. Standing up, I was about to go back to my room to rest, when I heard a commotion outside.

"Elk, what's so noisy?"

Lu Wei is the son of Lu Zhu, who is old and crowned, and his characters are simple and simple. has practiced good martial arts since childhood, and now serves as a small school under the elk tent.

Hearing Lu Zhu's inquiry, Lu Wei hurriedly ran out to watch.

After a while, I saw Elway running back with an excited expression, "Father, guess who I saw just now?" Second uncle, it's second uncle! ”

Elk Zhu's head buzzed, his eyes widened, and he looked at Elk.

"What did you say?"

"It's really the second uncle...... Although I was still young when my second uncle left, I could recognize that the second uncle's land had not changed much. ”

"He, where is he?"

Elwei said: "General Shiren said that he caught the second uncle when he was patrolling the city, suspected that he was a spy, and was going to take him back for interrogation. ”

"You...... What flaws have been revealed? ”

"Ahh Elk Wei thought for a moment, "I wanted to shout, but was stopped by the second uncle. He just nodded at me and didn't speak. ”

Although I didn't see Elfang with my own eyes, the two brothers have been in love for many years, and Elk Zhu's mind can come up with what Elfang looked like at that time.

Elk Fang is here!

This shows that King Liang is ready to do it!

Lu Zhu wandered in the lobby, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Lu Wei, you should also know about your second uncle's situation over the years. It's time for us to act...... Your second uncle came back suddenly this time, and he must have conveyed this meaning to me. Well, you immediately mobilize your henchmen and personal guards and follow my actions. ”

As the successor of the Elk family appointed by Elk Zhu, Elwei naturally knew about Elfang.

He nodded immediately, "I'm going to gather the men!" ”

Watching Elk Wei walk out, Elk Zhu suddenly let out a sigh of relief. The depression in my heart disappeared without a trace in an instant. Guozheng and Chen Zhi's soldiers and horses fought fiercely.

The two sides took Peixian as the center and launched a tug-of-war competition. Liu Bei wanted to repel Chen Dao, but it was impossible to ...... Similarly, it was also very difficult for Chen Zhi to take down Liu Bei immediately. Although there was a steady stream of soldiers and horses arriving. But in Peiguo small space. But it's hard to unfold it all. From January to March, the two sides fought non-stop, and there were a large number of casualties every day.

But. Just when the two sides were evenly matched, there was an astonishing news from Xuzhou.

Nanyang is lost!

Nanyang was too guarded by Wu Ju, and after learning of Liu Biao's death, he was persuaded by Kuai Yue to surrender to Pang De, and Runan fell into siege. When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but feel panicked. But before he could react. Shamoke was led by Cai Maodi. Attacking from Qisi (now Huaibin, Jiangsu), smuggling from Huaishui, and attacking Shouchun, cutting off the connection between Jiangdong and Xuzhou in one fell swoop.

Shouchun is not only the gateway to Jiangdong in Runan Pei County, but also the granary of the army in Runan and Pei County.

It's just that before that, Shouchun was under the care of Sun Ce, and Liu Bei didn't invest too many troops there. Now that Sun Ce is in Jiangdong, it is difficult to protect himself. Naturally, he is unable to take care of Shouchun. Liu Bei originally wanted to wait until he had endured this wave of attacks before making arrangements for Shouchun.

Unexpectedly, at this juncture, Shamoke actually seized Shouchun.

Liu Bei immediately ordered Sima Lang to preside over the battle in Peixian County, and personally led an army of 20,000. With Guan Yu's son Guan Xing as the vanguard. Straight to Shouchun, trying to take Shouchun back into his hands. along the way. Liu Bei was anxious. The sooner Shouchun is recaptured, the sooner the morale of the army can be stabilized.

The loss of Shouchun is not only in Peixian and Runan, but also in the entire Xuzhou battle situation, which is very important.

Because, if the Guanzhong army can gain a firm foothold in Shouchun, the next step will be to attack from Shouchun, attack Guangling, and seize the country of Xiapi.

Damn Dong, why is it so difficult to deal with?

Previously, Liu Biao lost Jingbei in October, and the entire Jingzhou fell into the hands of others, which also put the situation in Runan at a disadvantage.

Now, I have taken Shouchun again......

Thinking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Pioneers, where have you been now?"

The lieutenant hurriedly replied, "The major general passed through Shansang yesterday, and it is estimated that he has arrived at Chuihuiju at this time." According to the speed of the major general, it is expected that in three days, he will be able to cross the river and come to the city of Shouchun. ”

Liu Bei was quite satisfied with Guan Xing's speed.

"An Guo is resolute, and he really has the wind of his father!"

The heart moved, but the sadness was born. Unconsciously, Liu Bei remembered his righteous brother again, and couldn't help but cry like rain.

If Yun Chang is still here, how can I be so embarrassed?

Thinking of this, Liu Bei only felt sad and lonely in his heart. In the past, Taoyuan was three righteous people, and now he is the only one left. The oath of not wanting to be born on the same day, the same month, the same year, but the same day, the same month, and the same year, is still lingering in my ears. The third brother Zhang Fei has long become a dry bone, and he ......

Yun Chang, Yide!

Don't worry!

Liu Bei gritted his teeth and shouted in his heart: "Just wait for my brother to avenge this blood sea of blood, I will definitely go to Jiuquan to find you and wait for reunion." ”

At this time, someone next to him asked, "Lord, there is Zhuyi ahead." Do you notify Xiapi and ask for support...... The soldiers were withdrawn from the battlefield and marched all day, exhausted. Why don't you rest in Zhuyi tonight and replenish the heavy grain and grass? ”

Liu Bei pondered for a moment, but he also felt quite reasonable.

This is in Xuzhou, adjacent to Xiapi, is its own territory. There must be no surprises, and it makes sense to take a break.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei nodded in agreement.

Ordered people to rush to Xiapi immediately, and asked Xiapi to escort the heavy grain and grass to Zhuyi to meet.

Then, the army arrived in Zhuyi in the evening, set up camp, and buried pots to cook. After these days of fierce battles, Liu Bei also felt haggard. After settling the soldiers and horses, he turned back to the tent, and his kimono fell, and in a short time he fell into a deep sleep.

I slept for two hours.

Liu Bei was suddenly woken up by a commotion, turned over and got up, and asked sharply, "Come on, what's going on outside?" ”

A personal guard immediately came in, bowed down and said: "Lord, it is the soldiers and horses of Xiapi, who were ordered to escort the grain and grass and baggage to Zhuyi. ”

"Hmm!"

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, and also felt that he was a little frightened, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.

"Send someone down to arrange, let everyone rest early, and set off for Shouchun tomorrow."

The guards immediately went down to make arrangements, and after Liu Bei slept for a while, he felt that his spirits had improved a lot, so he stood up and asked someone to bring food.

Unfolding the map, Liu Bei looked at the map while eating, and fell into deep thought.

I don't know what's going on, my eyelids are jumping, as if something is going to happen. Liu Bei put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and walked out of the tent.

At this point, it was late at night.

The soldiers who were carrying the heavy grain and grass were also settled, and the soldiers rested early, only to hear the sound of the fighting, echoing in the silent night.

Liu Bei rubbed his cheeks vigorously to make himself more sober.

Maybe it's really cranky......

What can happen here near Xiapi? Turning around, Liu Bei was just about to return to the military tent. But at this moment, a fire suddenly appeared in a corner of the barracks.

When Liu Bei saw it, he couldn't help frowning, "Send someone to check it, don't be careless, go out of the water." ”

With his own personal guards taking the order, Liu Bei stepped into the military tent. But he shuddered suddenly, only to feel a cold breath rushing out along his backbone.

Wrong!

I gave an order in the afternoon, why did Xia Pi escort the baggage grain and grass so quickly?

This reaction is too fast, right......

Liu Beishun picked up the horse lance at the door of the military tent and rushed out of the camp tent, "Quickly order someone to check and take down all the people who escorted the baggage!" ”

As soon as the words fell, more than ten fires appeared in the camp.

Immediately after, the Xuzhou army in the camp panicked, and more and more places saw fires, and in a short time, they were connected together. The entire barracks soon turned into a sea of fire. The shouts of killing were everywhere, and the wailing and crying were even more continuous.

"It's an enemy attack, an enemy attack...... Gather your men now! ”

Liu Bei turned over and got on his horse, holding a lance and shouting loudly.

A detachment of men and horses, from the firelight, will come out. A member of the general at the head, with a golden helmet and golden armor, a golden skull under his crotch, majestic, like a god.

"Liu Bei, traitor!"

The general immediately shouted, "Pengcheng has been broken, and the Xiapi Kingdom has fallen into the hands of King Liang." Huang Zhong is here, why don't you get off the horse and surrender? ”
