Chapter 214: Attacking Xiaqiu City
Zhao Yun also hit the horse and walked on the battlefield, a good horse and a white horse in his crotch snorted, and he walked up and down. Zhao Yun immediately shouted: "I am the second son's righteous brother Zhao Yun is also, now that Xuzhou has been seized by Lu Bu, I specially brought troops to recover the land granted by the emperor for the Tao family!" ”
Hearing that it was Zhao Yun, Mi Fang was shocked, he had heard of the prestige of this young general under the former Gongsun Zhan. A person with a humble status, relying on the promotion of the second son, mixed up a little reputation, which was the most despised in the late Han Dynasty, where there were many big clans.
Therefore, Mi Fang also pointed at Zhao Yun and shouted: "My Xiaqiu land, how can I allow you to go wild!" ”
After Mi Fang finished speaking, he rode his horse and wanted to compete with Zhao Yun. Martial artists are the most unconvincing, only victory and defeat. Seeing Mi Fang personally out of the battle, Zhao Yun also took Mi Fang with a gun. The two of them fought for nearly ten rounds in front of the battle, and originally thought that Zhao Yun was promoted by relying on his Tao Yingyi brother, but he didn't expect that this Zhao Yun really had some ability, and after more than a dozen rounds, Mi Fang gradually lost the enemy.
After another five rounds, Mi Fang didn't even have the strength to parry, so he had to turn around and leave with a false move. Seeing that Mi Fang had fled, such a great opportunity, if Mi Fang was not captured, it would definitely be even more difficult to attack Xiaqiu again, so Zhao Yun took a bow and an arrow and shot an arrow towards Mi Fang.
Hearing the sound of wind behind her, Mi Fang hurriedly floated on the horse's back and dodged an arrow. Zhao Yun shot five arrows in a row on the horse, and one arrow hit the joint bone of the war horse, and the war horse fell to the ground.
Mi Fang was thrown off the horse, Xiaqiu soldiers hurriedly rushed into battle to rescue Mi Fang, Zhao Yun rushed over and killed three generals in a row, and captured Mi Fangsheng on the ground.
After arresting Mi Fang, the opponent's soldiers and horses were leaderless, and they were immediately in chaos. Zhao Yun led the troops to rush over, Mi Fang's military horses hurriedly fled towards Xiaqiu City, just arrived in Xiaqiu City, Xiaqiu City Gate was closed, it turned out that Xiaqiu County Cheng had closed the city gate and was ready to surrender to the second prince in order to avoid the people being slaughtered in the city.
The second prince once said that in all surrendered cities, not a single soldier will be killed, not a single meter or a penny will be robbed, and the people will not be beheaded to retain useful officials. If you don't surrender the city, cut down the soldiers who defend the city, take the grain, grass, gold and silver of the family, and behead the whole city to resist the officials.
Because for the sake of nearly 10,000 people in the city, the county closed the gate to prohibit the army from entering the city, there was no way forward, there were chasing soldiers behind, and the main general in the middle was also arrested, and the soldiers could only flee into the mountains and forests in all directions, or raise their hands to surrender.
Zhao Yun killed under the city, and the soldiers surrounded under the city all raised their hands and prepared to surrender, seeing that Zhao Yun did not give up the slaughter at all, the county seat on the city shouted to the city: "I heard that the second prince once said, the city does not kill the warriors, this summer Qiu has hung up the white flag, why slaughter innocent soldiers?" ”
After Jun Cheng finished shouting, the soldiers hurriedly told Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun waved his hand to stop the soldiers. Looking at the city, an old man who was nearly fifty years old was looking at himself with a seal ribbon in his hand.
"This old man actually understands the laws of Peng Chengguo, come here, take it down, and do it according to the law!"
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, the soldiers hurriedly stopped the slaughter and accepted the surrender of Xiaqiu City. Zhao Yun also wanted to go directly into the city, and then grab more gold, silver and jewelry to subsidize his military horses, but he didn't expect this old man to study the laws of Peng Chengguo thoroughly, so that he had no chance.
The laws of Pengcheng are strict, and it is clearly stipulated in the code of siege and plundering that if the city falls and the people are slaughtered, the generals will fight, and the soldiers will be sent to the frontier as slaves.
And recently, Zhang Zhao, a little old man, appointed the iron-faced and selfless Wang Xiu to serve as the legal overseer under the recommendation of Kong Rong.
After entering the city, it is enough to find a reason to let the family give some money to support the construction of the army. Therefore, Zhao Yun let Xiaqiu Juncheng go out of the city and surrender.
At the end of July, Zhao Yun's army went all the way north, and the army and horses were collected from more than 3,000 people along the way, and when they arrived at the border of Pengcheng, Zhao Yun's army and horses were nearly 7,000 people.
When Zhao Yun broke through Xiaqiu, he surrendered Mi Fang again, and Tao Ying asked Mi Fang to continue to guard Xiaqiu. When Tao Ying went north, he attacked the direction of Xiaqiu with Zhao Yun as the left vanguard, and attacked Huaiyin with Tai Shici as the right vanguard, and went north from Huaiyin. Tao Ying led the army from the Surabaya River to the north, and in mid-July, Tao Ying rushed to Xiapi City, and at the end of July, Zhao Yun and Tai Shi Ci had recovered Xiaqiu and arrived in Xiapi City.
Nearly eight months have passed since the expedition to the south, and in the past eight months, earth-shaking new changes have taken place in the north. First, the Han Emperor fled from Chang'an to Luoyang, Cao Cao greeted the Son of Heaven in Luoyang, and Cao Cao won the fierce general Xu Huang. Moreover, when he conquered Yuzhou, Cao Cao successively won the fierce generals Xu Chu, Dian Wei and others.
At this time, Cao Cao became stronger and bigger, occupying the land of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and his territory was several times larger than that of Tao Ying. Moreover, the addition of the Xun family such as Yingchuan Xun Yu has further expanded Cao Cao's internal political talents, and Xun Yu recommended Guo Jia to replace the dead Xi Zhicai, and Guo Jia's addition made Cao Cao really start to go to the top.
At the beginning of August, Tao Ying rushed to Pengcheng, and Cao Cao also welcomed the Son of Heaven to Xuchang, and prepared to change the name of Xuchang to Xudu. Coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Cao Cao at this time occupied the initiative in politics, and under the auspices of Xun Yu and Guo Jia, he began to recuperate and recuperate.
At this time, Lu Bu was not idle, Zhang Liao led his troops and horses to defeat Xiao Pei occupied by Lu Qian. Lü Qian had to lead the remnants of the army to retreat to Pengcheng Guangqi. Guangqi City is the northern barrier of Pengcheng State, so it has been operated for nearly three years, the city is unbreakable, and Zhang Liao led the troops to attack it for a long time without taking it.
Lu Bu wanted to personally conquer Pengchengguo, but at this time Zhang Zhao wrote a letter to Yuan Tan, the pastor of Qingzhou, Yuan Tan and Tao Ying were friendly, so Yuan Tan Chen soldiers nearly 100,000 in the border of North Xuzhou.
Lu Bu knew that Yuan Shao of Hebei was the fourth and third dukes, and in the whole world, except for the emperor, they could be called the first family, so he was not angry, and Lu Bu had to let Gao Shun guard the northern border.
He was afraid that the local wealthy families in Xuzhou would rebel, so Lu Bu personally guarded Donghai County, Chen Gong was stationed in Lu State, and Hao Meng was stationed in Langya State.
Liu Bei took refuge from the south, and Lü Bu was afraid that the powerful Cao Cao would attack him, so he left Liu Bei stationed in Xiaopei, which had just been conquered, and let Liu Bei act as a buffer between himself and Tao Ying and Cao Cao.
After a long attack, Zhang Liao was short of food, so he had to lead his troops back to Lu. Lü Qian lost Xiao Pei and had to re-lead the troops back to his Pei country, Xiao Pei Yi lost, the original old capital was in Xiang County, and Xiang County had been assigned to Pengcheng State, so Lu Qian had to lead the troops to garrison Feng County next to Pei County.
After the wheat was harvested, Zhang Liao wanted to lead his troops to attack Guangqi, and Zhang Zhao was very angry when he heard this, so he wrote a letter accusing Lu Bu of being unkind and unjust. Dao Lu Bu is a white-eyed wolf, Xuzhou kindly took him in, and he actually took revenge! A letter was sent to Donghai County, and Zhang Zhao wrote in the letter that if the attack was urgent, all the generals and family members of Lu Bu who had already been Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and other Lu Bu would be beheaded, and then they would wait to receive their heads!
