Chapter 351: Righteousness

The battle lasted until midnight, and both sides were sleepy. The Wei Yanjun was repeatedly strangled www.biquge.info, 40,000 people were killed and wounded, and more than 10,000 people were going to Europe to resist stubbornly and refused to surrender.

Kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself. If Cao Cao's army was not an ambush and had a sense of psychological superiority, if it was a large-scale duel, his tired army would be defeated early if it was killed like this. Cao Jun killed nearly 30,000 of Wei Yan's army, Wei Yan's army fought back on the verge of death, and also killed nearly 20,000 of his elites.

"Order Gao Ran, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou to appear on the battlefield within an hour! Otherwise, military law will serve! ”

Cao Cao knew that now was the time to compete in endurance, and the two armies would see who would drag who to death first. Cao Cao was very dissatisfied with Yan Liang, and after Yan Liang lured the enemy, he did not appear on the battlefield for a long time.

In the distance, torches soar into the sky, illuminating the earth. The first young general, carrying a tiger-headed machete, rushed to Cao Bing, and did not speak, and his hand rose and fell.

When Jia Xu set off for Wei Yan, he sent a message to Lü Meng, who hurried and finally arrived at the battlefield in time.

Although Lü Meng's army was a new force, it was tired after a journey of seventy or eighty miles. The arrival of Lü Meng's army was more of an encouragement to the Wei Yan army that was still fighting. Behind Lu Meng, the drums sounded in unison, like thousands of horses in front of the army.

When Wei Yan's army heard the sound of drums, it was like an empowerment, and they burst out with their last strength.

"Mingjin!"

Wei Yan's reinforcements came first, and Cao Cao knew that his morale had plummeted, and he couldn't wipe out the enemy at the moment. Only after Yan Liang and Gao Ran arrived with their troops, they could be chased and killed. Even if everyone in Wei Yan's army is not afraid of death, in the face of Cao's army's life after retreating, it is inevitable to lose their armor and collapse for thousands of miles.

Wei Yan's remnants of the defeated army did not dare to return to Xiangcheng, fearing that Xiangcheng would be taken by Cao Cao first, and went to Yangzhai occupied by Lü Meng. Before the fire was lit to make food, Cao Cao's pursuers had already arrived and scolded and fought under the city.

Some generals were frightened and suggested: "While the Cao Bing brigade has not yet chased, it is better to return to Wancheng." ”

"Hold on." Jia Xu said coldly. Although Wei Yan suffered defeat, he also succeeded in dragging Cao Cao's army to the south, and the key to success or failure depended on the northern army Lu Bu.

"The city of Yangzhai is dilapidated, and it has been invaded by Songshan thieves, and there is not much food in the city. How is the stalemate? Some generals who were dissatisfied with Wei Yan's reckless military force said that they couldn't understand why Jia Xu, who had always been greedy for life and afraid of death, would support the stubborn defense of the city.

"What? Afraid? Wei Yan glared coldly, and two coarse breaths erupted from his nostrils: "Won't the city wall be repaired if it's low?" Expedited now! Collect all the food in the city and eat it in a planned way! ”

"We don't need to hold out for long, two days at most, and Cao Bing will inevitably retreat." Jia Xu said with an oath.

Just when the Cao army besieged Wei Yan's remnants in Yangzhai, they were not in a hurry to attack the city. Wei Yan's army did not go straight and walked away, sticking to the Jedi, which made Cao Cao feel surprised, unless reinforcements arrived. Cao Cao decided to go to the rescue with the reinforcements that came to the rescue. Wei Yan, in Cao Cao's plan, will become the fuse to force Lü Bu out of the pass, as long as Wei Yan is trapped in Yangzhai, Lü Bu must immediately give up Chang'an for the first time to recover, and come to the rescue with all three armies.

Cao Cao also used the power of Guandu's victory to nip Lu Bu's new force in the bud, and Chang'an was too terrible.

Just as Cao Cao was planning the layout, a civil official fled from Xuchang into his camp in embarrassment: "Lu Bu led the iron cavalry to attack Xudu, Xu

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) are all in danger, please Xun Wenruo ask the prime minister to send troops immediately......"

Outside the city of Xuchang, without any premonition, a group of 3,000 iron horsemen suddenly appeared under the city, and a tooth flag with six big characters written on it "Auxiliary General Lu Bu" hunted in the wind.

Xuchang, who was quiet, roared.

Above, bells and drums rang in unison, and panic was pervasive.

The meticulous civil and military officials in official robes climbed up to the city in a panic, and when they saw the Lu Buya banner outside the city, they collapsed on the city. Xuchang now gathers the largest number of families in the world, and Cao Cao brought the army to Yingchuan, if the city is broken, the family will suffer the heaviest blow.

Cao Hong, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, immediately pulled the Imperial Forest Army guarding the palace to the city wall.

Lu Bu was still in the distance, and the city gate of Xuchang closed under the sound of rumbling horses' hooves. The city was on the verge of a great enemy, and the Guards and the defenders nervously held the weapons in their hands. Even if Xuchang is empty, there are still as many as six or seven thousand defenders in the city.

"Father-in-law, the defenders in the city are far more than six or seven thousand, although Cao Mengde suppressed the private armed forces of the family, there are also many slaves in the family, and it is okay to temporarily recruit to defend the city." Lu Xun pointed to Cao Cao's battle of Guandu, and the heightened and strengthened city wall said: "At the moment, we can only outwit it." ”

Just when Lu Bu wanted to ask what time it was, the defenders of the city were in an uproar, and a scribe separated everyone, and after exposing the arrow stacks, he was dressed in a washed white cloth robe, and his beard and hair were neatly groomed, which was extremely conspicuous in the brocade robe and gorgeous clothes, and the dilapidated clothes highlighted the man's bookish atmosphere, and the calmness of his gestures infected the soldiers around him, and his calm breath dispelled the panic of the soldiers around him.

"Dogs?"

"Father-in-law, it's Xun Yu Xun Wenruo." Lu Xun corrected.

"I know. Don't you think Xun Yu and Gou or the two words are very similar? ”

"Xun Wenruo is loyal to Cao Mengde and sticks to the rear, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a dog." Lu Xun didn't know what Lu Bu meant, and thought that Lu Bu was enough to describe Xun Yu and praise Xun Yu.

"Dasi Nong, we meet again." Xun Yu raised his voice and said to Lu Bu outside the city, his voice was calm without a trace of trill: "Today's situation is very similar to Feng Xiangong's attack on Yanzhou a few years ago. ”

Xun Yu only called Lu Bu the great Sinon, and did not mention the auxiliary generals who were tied by the Son of Heaven, Xun Yu's position was Cao Cao's position, and indirectly told others that Lu Bu's auxiliary generals were self-led, and they could not be recognized by Xuchang, and at the same time they did not recognize the secret edict in Lu Bu's hands.

Lu Bu sneered: "It is rumored that Xun Wenruo is the talent of Wang Zuo, the pillar of the country, and he cares about the Han family and wants to help the Han family with the power of one person." Seeing it now, he is just a lackey in clothes, a minion of a thief, and he has no loyalty to the Son of Heaven and the Han family! ”

Xun Yu's face changed several times, in his thoughts, Cao Cao is the best candidate to help the Han family, Cao Cao's ambition was to be a general who conquered the West, and he was concerned about the Han family, but people's ambitions passed Xun Yu's thoughts, Xun Yu also went further and further on the road of helping the Han family, and gradually, he could not change the way forward. However, his loyalty to the Han family never wavered.

Lu Bu pinched the jade seal of the country in his hand, and the dragon that had been coiled around his body soared into the air, turning over the clouds and rain, and the dragon chanted for a while. Lu Bu's mind flashed, and he planned to smash Xun Yu to death and remove Cao Cao's arm. Xun Yu is more important to Cao Cao's entire camp than Guo Jia. Xun Yu is like Lu Bu's Chen Palace, which can ensure that the rear is worry-free, and Cao Cao dares to go all out on the front line with confidence.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) "The Son of Heaven has arrived." ”

Lu Bu took back the jade seal of the country in time, and killed the Son of Heaven blatantly, Lu Bu's notoriety will add a charge of killing the king, as long as this crime is on his back, don't look at Chang'an's prosperity, the loyal soldiers under his command instantly rebelled to him, and everyone rebelled and left.

At the moment when the Son of Heaven appeared, Lu Bu rolled off the saddle and shouted bitterly: "Minister Lu Bu, it's too late to save the driver, and he has committed several trespasses, and he is guilty of capital crimes!" Your Majesty, please condemn you. ”

Liu Xie looked at Lu Bu, whose head was like pounding garlic outside the city, and his forehead was banging, and his face was sinking like water. He didn't know whether Lu Bu was a loyal minister or a traitor like Cao Cao, if Lu Bu was a loyal minister, why not only did Lu Bu not come to the rescue when the concubine was in distress, but also shook a shot after shaking out the secret edict and killed Chang'an, his wolf ambition can be seen.

Seeing that Liu Xie was silent, Lu Bu knew that Liu Xie was wary of him, so he decided to continue to fool. Lu Bu didn't really want Liu Xie to go back to Chang'an with him, and suddenly climbed on his head alone to point fingers, who would? Coercing the princes of the Son of Heaven is a great benefit, how many princes are left now? Who takes the Son of Heaven seriously? Lu Bu just wanted to fool Liu Xie into saying that he was willing to go back to Chang'an with him, even if Liu Xie wanted to go with Lu Bu, would the Xuchang defenders and ministers be willing?

As long as Liu Xie said that he was willing to go back to Xuchang with him, Cao Cao was completely labeled as a traitor, and Lu Bu took advantage of Cao Cao's crusade this time. Lu Bu came to Xuchang this time to completely eliminate Cao Cao, take 10,000 steps back, even if he can't destroy Cao Cao, he must greatly weaken Cao Cao's strength and minimize Cao Cao's influence on defeating Yuan Shao.

Lu Bu gritted his teeth and said: "Minister Lu Bu, I know that my sins deserve death, and I want to help the Han family and return to the government." Your Majesty! As long as His Majesty gives an order, the minister, even if he is broken, will break Xuchang and escort His Majesty back to Chang'an. The sinners should take the blame and remove their armor and return to the fields and mountains. ”

Lu Bu decided to gamble, the officials in the casino did not support Liu Xie's return to Chang'an, gambled that without Cao Cao's order, the army would not be released, and the Son of Heaven would not be able to leave Xuchang. This bet was won, and Lu Bu was a "loyal minister" from then on, crusading against the princes of the world to occupy the righteousness, and the secret edict in Lu Bu's hands was indirectly confirmed by the Son of Heaven.

Lu Bu's words, Liu Xie's heart was moved. He was not afraid of Lu Bu's debts, Lu Bu promised in front of the civil and military officials of the Xuchang Manchu Dynasty and in front of his soldiers, Lu Bu did not dare to repent, unless he was willing to become a traitor to his relatives. Liu Xie looked around, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military looked at him nervously, and countless respected Confucians shook their heads. Liu Xie looked at Cao Hong, the lord of the city, and when the latter saw Liu Xie's eyes, he avoided his gaze, but his fingers unconsciously tightened the handle of the knife.

Liu Xie knew his situation and couldn't get out of Xuchang. He didn't want to lose the foreign aid of this army of "loyal ministers" outside the city, so he thought about it and said: "Lu Qing goes to the country more often, and I know it. It's just that Qing is like Fan Hao of the early Han Dynasty, and he can only protect the safety of one person, and I am afraid that he will not be able to attack the city. Prime Minister Cao Mengde, who uses soldiers like a god, fights and wins, just like Han Xin of the early Han Dynasty, is the best candidate for the Han family. ”

As soon as Liu Xie's voice fell, all the martial arts in the city changed. will Lu Bubi be brave and loyal to Fan Xu, and at the same time use Han Xin as a metaphor for Cao Cao, who is Han Xin? Regardless of whether he was slandered or not, at least there were insinuations in Liu Xie's words.
