Chapter 74, the first entry into Hebei
The young general of Yuan Jun only felt so aggrieved that he was going to die, but he had no choice now, and it was undoubtedly looking for death to fight with a mortal body and a spear made of metal, and there was only one way to dodge this blow, although the halberd he had just held in his hand would be stuffed back for a while, and then he would find an opportunity to fight back.
However, Yuan Junjun's young general couldn't bear it alone, but the guards around him surrounded him at this time, some of them were directly attracted by Cao Xing's henchmen and fought together, and some of them were unyielding and recognized that Cao Xing wanted to besiege him.
Cao Xing suddenly rose a burst of pride at this time, he unconsciously remembered the battle of the Tiger Prison that he had never experienced, and many legends of Wenhou fascinated him, especially the generals from the Solo Coalition Army, the kind of arrogance that is almost comparable to being the enemy of the world, makes Cao Xing excited just thinking about it.
At this time, although the situation he faced was not comparable to that of Lu Bu at that time, as a marksman, he was more often used as a ranged or a commander than a close group battle, and now he also wanted to try this taste.
He felt that every cell in his body seemed to be active, his eyes flashed with a dangerous light, the spear was like a poisonous snake dormant for a while, and if it was struck, it would see blood.
In addition, at this time, most of Cao Xing's henchmen also solved their opponents, although they also hung up some small colors, after all, from the perspective of strength, it was obvious that they were better overall, and at this time, they also gathered around to help Cao Xuan cut off the guards of Yuan Junjun's young generals.
Until the end, only the young general was left, and at this time he had just been attacked by a sneak attack, and the halberd in his hand fell to the ground without grabbing it. Cao Xing's spear slapped hard, and he slapped him off the horse's back and to the ground, he supported his body with his elbows and was about to get up again, when he felt a cold in his neck, he looked up and saw that Cao Xing's cold pupils were facing him, but there didn't seem to be the killing intent he expected.
"What's your name?" Cao Xuan patted his head at this time, thinking that he didn't even know the other party's name, and he was really a little confused just now.
The young general Yuan Jun simply held his head high, and in this case, he seemed to be a little unwilling to give in and admit defeat, of course, he did not resist answering this question. It's just that the tone is also stubborn: "The Great Han Wei General Yuan Benchu is under the command of the overseer. Pull is also. ”
……
On this day in June of the second year of the first peace, when the summer atmosphere gradually permeated this northern border land, I don't know when the banners representing "Yuan" or "General Hanwei" on the wall of Mayi County, where Yanmen County was governed, were replaced with banners with the words "Lu" or "Wenhou".
This change happened almost quietly. That is, overnight. The people in the city of Mayi found that the army guarding them was no longer Yuan Shao's army. And it became the army of Lu Bu, who they didn't actually feel unfamiliar with.
Especially speaking of this Lu Bu's general Zhang Liao is still a local, he has to feel much closer psychologically and emotionally, especially when Yan Liang was in Mayi, he was not pleasant. His temperament is not only direct, but even a little arrogant, it may also be because of the depressed influence of Yuan Shao's distribution, and he will naturally not do anything good to be the emperor of the soil in this place, although it will not hurt the heavens and reason, but some measures have also caused a certain amount of public resentment, and at this time, they can't ask for a change of ruler.
In a way, this is also a kind of sadness for these people, who always put their hopes in others, that another person would be better than the current one, but never thought of rising up and rebelling themselves.
Of course, this is a good thing for Lu Bu, the local people of Mayi can accept themselves, and basically the entire Yanmen County will not reject themselves, which is of great benefit to themselves in accepting this county.
After all, Yanmen County is different from Dingxiang and Yunzhong County, not only is the place not large, but the population is not large, there are many people here, and what the population means in the era of cold weapons is self-evident.
Similarly, if you want to enter Hebei in the future, this will also become an important stepping stone and springboard for yourself.
And the reason why Ma Yi changed banners overnight is to thank Yan Liang's lieutenant general for the sentence he instructed before leading his troops to follow Yan Liang and leave, that is, except for himself and Yan Liang, no one is allowed to open the city gate without permission.
Lu Bu didn't know this, after all, the deputy general had long been ambushed by the stones in the valley and disappeared without a trace, but Lu Bu asked Zhang Liao to disguise himself as Yan Liang and come to the city at dusk.
Speaking of Zhang Liao's body size and Yan Liang, from this point of view, the two are seven or eight points similar, and even better is that the voices of the two are also somewhat similar, especially in the Saibei area at night, the world wind is relatively strong, which also somewhat covers up some flaws, and the faint yellow light in the night adds a little blur, without letting the defenders in the city find out the truth, they believe that Zhang Liao is Yan Liang who has returned from victory, and the others don't think much about it, and they directly open the city gate.
As soon as the city gate opened, they found that something was wrong, but it was too late at this time, Zhang Liao led thousands of soldiers behind him to rush in, not giving the other party a chance to regret it at all, and after entering the city, they saw Yuan Jun soldiers killing, killing, killing.
Lu Bu is not a person who loves to kill, and he does not advocate that the war must increase too many killings, but sometimes he will not lack the necessary killing decisiveness, the garrisons in Mayi City are all the people and horses that Yuan Shao has successively dispatched over the past half a year, and the original people under Lu Bu here have long been driven away by Yuan Shao's men, and the soldiers and horses here can even be said to be enemies.
Of course, this does not mean that he has to kill them all, so after just entering the city for a bloody massacre, Lu Bu began the surrender strategy, knowing that Yan Liang was dead and the dragons had no leader, plus the shape was stronger than people, the defenders of Mayi naturally would not have any resistance, and surrendered peacefully.
Because Lu Bu strictly ordered his soldiers to be restrained, this incident did not cause any panic among the people in Mayi City, and even many people did not realize that so much had happened last night until the next morning.
The people here don't have a sense of belonging to Yuan Shao, and most of the soldiers brought by Yan Liang are from Hebei, far less friendly than the "fellow villagers" brought by Lu Bu, and Lu Bu, the famous flying general in the entire Bingzhou, they will not feel strange, even if they can't say that they welcome his arrival with both hands and feet, they are happy to see it.
This change passed in a strange smoothness, and Yuan Shaojun operated here for several months, but in the end it disappeared overnight, leaving little trace.
Of course, it is not complete, for example, the head of Yan Liang, the general under Yuan Shao, was hung above the city gate of Ma Yi at this time.
Originally, Lu Bu didn't want to use such inhumane and bloody methods, but some of the remnants of the Yuan army in Mayi City were unexpectedly stubborn, especially those henchmen left by Yan Liang in the city, or those who were loyal to Yuan Shao, all of them caused him a lot of trouble, although most of them were swept away, but it was difficult to guarantee that there were no smart ones who hid temporarily.
Even if their forces are already very small and they can't make any big waves, if they don't rely on this to deter them now, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no baskets in this temporary rear when they want to enter Hebei, and then they will think about these things, but it will be too late.
