In the next few days, Zhang Bao was accompanied by Zhen Mi to recuperate. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Qingzhou, after Jia Xu and Zhou Yu discussed, Jia Xu sat in the rear, and Zhou Yu took Zhang Fei, Fa Zheng, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, and Liao Hua to fight together, with a total of 30,000 troops. Guan Yu of Langxi County led 20,000 infantry troops as the vanguard of the army.

On the third day of the Qingzhou army braving the heavy rain to fight Lü Bu in Xuzhou, Cao Cao of Yanzhou began to surprise Yuzhou. Yuan Shu, who was not at all defenseless, lost Chen County and Runan County in two days.

Just as Yuan Shu dispatched the general Ji Ling to lead 30,000 troops to conquer Cao Cao, Cao Cao suddenly turned to Jingzhou. Liu Biao of Jingzhou was even more unprepared by Cao Jun and lost the entire Jingzhou in half a month. And all this was done with the full cooperation of Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia, two of the world's top resourceful.

At the same time as Cao Cao's conquest of Jingzhou, Xun You, who was subordinate to the division, also seized the fighter plane and worked together with Jia Xu of Qingzhou to successfully take Yanzhou. At this time, Yanzhou can be said to be an empty shell, and Xun You's army did not encounter the slightest resistance from Cao's army.

Xun Yu then continued to march to Chen County and Runan County in Yuzhou. Chen Jun remained defenseless, while Runan Jun encountered full resistance from the two brothers, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun, of Cao Jun. So Xun ordered Zhang Liao to lead 20,000 cavalry to defend Chen County and Yingchuan County. Gao Ran led 20,000 infantry troops to defend Yanzhou's Dongjun, Dongping and Jibei. Zhang Xiu continued to defend Nanyang County.

Dian Wei led the army and Guan Hai to take the three counties of Lu County, Pei Guo and Liang State in Yuzhou. Dian Wei defended Pei Guo, and Guan Hai defended Liang Guo. And Yuan Shu saw that Zhang Bao's soldiers were strong, so he chose to retreat, and did not send troops to fight Zhang Bao to the death. Instead, he sent Sun Ce to defend Qian County, and ordered Ji Ling to compete with Cao Jun for Runan County.

In this way, Zhang Bao finally connected Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Sizhou, and the southern part of Bingzhou with Chang'an, becoming the most powerful prince in the north. And Zhou Yu was leading the army to fight against Lu Bu at this time.

Dian Wei learned that the war in Xuzhou was not over, so he directly handed over the soldiers and horses to the commander of Guan Hai, and he took 500 personal guards to Xuzhou to support Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

After Guan Hai picked the son in Dian Wei, he directly sent someone to inform Zhang Bao of the news. Zhang Bao smiled slightly when he heard this, and said to Xun Yu beside him: "Gongda, divide Dian Wei's subordinates to Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu, two generals." Then he ordered Zhang Xiu to guard against the direction of Jingzhou, Zhang Liao to guard against the direction of Yuzhou, Gao Ran did not move, and Gao Shun did not move. General Guan Hai was ordered to lead the army back to defend Fenggaocheng. ”

"Subordinates take orders!" Xun Yu hugged his fist.

Zhang Bao continued: "Gongda, I have no plans to expand outward for the time being. I want to hand over the position of Yanzhou Assassin to you, and Gao Lan, Hua Xiong, and General Zhang Liao are directly under your orders. Your task is to do your best to cooperate with me in the development of Yanzhou, and to guard against Yuzhou and Jizhou, what do you think? ”

Xun You nodded when he heard this: "The subordinates are willing to share the worries of the main public, and with the assistance of Gao Ran and the other three generals, the subordinates can complete the task of the main bus office." ”

"Okay, then that's it. You go to your post immediately, and I will send someone to inform Gao Ran and the other three generals about my appointment. There are also Yingchuan County, Chen County, Liang State, Peiguo and Lu County in Yuzhou, these five counties are also under your jurisdiction, but Taishan County is independent, do you understand? Zhang Bao asked.

"My subordinates understand!" Xun Yu hugged his fist.

Zhang Bao smiled and said, "Okay, then you can get busy!" You don't have to worry about Si Li's side, I have another appointment. ”

"Subordinates retire! Take care! Xun Yu gave Zhang Bao a deep look, and then turned to leave.

After Xun You left, Zhang Bao called Hou Er and said, "Hou Er, you go back to Qingzhou and pass on Sun Lianyun and Su Binghe to come here." Let them bring their families and their entourage with them, and I have an appointment for them. ”

"Yes!" Hou Er left after receiving the order.

After more than half a month of cultivation, Zhang Bao's body has improved a lot, and he has been able to move around at will, but he can't exercise vigorously. After Hou Er left, he walked slowly in the courtyard accompanied by Zhen Mi.

After Dian Wei came to Xuzhou with his personal guards, after a little inquiry, he came to Xuzhou's administrative office outside Picheng. At this time, Xiapi City had been surrounded by Zhou Yu's troops, but Lu Bu fought to the death, and Zhou Yu failed to take Xiapi City for a while.

Dian Wei's arrival surprised everyone. However, after Guan Yu learned that Dian Wei actually left his burden and came, he was very unhappy, he glared at Dian Wei and said, "Third brother, it's very inappropriate for you to do this!" Lu Bu on this side of Xuzhou is already a battle of trapped beasts, and if you leave the troops like this, it will be difficult for Bao'er to deal with it. ”

Hearing this, Dian Wei touched his head with his right hand and said, "Big brother, aren't I worried about your safety!" Besides, I handed over the troops to Guan Hai, not to carry the burden. And Yuan Shu from Yuzhou didn't dare to attack us at all, didn't I come here because I was really bored? I still want to fight Lu Bu again. ”

Zhang Fei laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha...... eldest brother, don't blame the third brother anymore!" I'll tell him. Didn't we worry about one less person not being able to break this Picheng before? Now that the third brother is here, this problem is just to be solved. Zhou Tingshi, you hurry up and give the order! ”

Zhou Yu said with a straight face when he heard this: "Okay, in the future, if the lord is to blame, I will say that because of the lack of manpower in Xiapi City, I will temporarily transfer General Dian." The matter was settled. Everyone must also say the same thing. ”

Guan Yu frowned when he heard this: "Okay! It's really hard to be stabbed by Zhou. ”

Zhou Yu smiled when he heard this: "Come, I will assign tasks to everyone, and we will strive to break the city tonight and capture Lu Bu alive." General Gan faces the city wall from the east tonight, General Guan from the south, General Dian from the north, and General Huang from the west. The head of the family will follow me to pay attention to the movements on the head of the city, no matter where Lu Bu appears, the generals will definitely insist on the support of the head of the family and me. As long as we take Lu Bu, Picheng will be in our pocket. Do you understand? ”

"Understood!" Everyone hugged their fists in unison.

It turned out that after Zhou Yu led the army to Xiapi City, Lu Bu had a fight with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and Lu Bu found that he could only fight with the two, and Huang Zhong's arrow made Lu Bu retreat directly.

After Lu Bu hid in Xiapi City, he relied on the sturdiness of the city wall to defend it, and never showed his head in the city, because he knew that he was not the opponent of Guan Yu and the others, but he fought alone, and everyone was not his opponent. Therefore, Lu Bu's move also made Zhou Yu dare not let the generals break into Xiapi City.

Zhou Yu wanted to capture Lu Bu alive, so if he let all the generals break up and down Picheng from one direction together, and Lu Bu happened to be not in this direction at this time, then Lu Bu would escape from other directions, and no one would be able to stop him.

The complete strategy that Zhou Yu thought of was to advance from the four directions of Xiapi City at the same time. In this way, he will face the pressure of which side Lu Bu is, and it will even bring danger to the brothers. Therefore, in addition to a fierce general on each side of the city, there must also be a fierce general to support the city at any time. In this way, there is a complete certainty that Lu Bu will be captured alive. And the arrival of Dian Wei just made up for this vacancy.

That night, Guan Yu, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, and Gan Ning each led 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack from four directions. And Zhang Fei, Zhou Yu and Liao Hua were closely watching the battle situation in the city under the city.

At first, Lu Bu's figure did not appear, but only half an hour later, Lu Bu appeared in the direction where Gan Ning was. At this time, Lu Bu thought that Gan Ning was the weakest among the four.

But Lu Bu was wrong, Gan Ning fought with Lu Bu the moment Lu Bu appeared. At the same time, there was a shout. Zhang Fei and Zhou Yu were under the east city at this time, and the two quickly jumped to the top of the city when they heard the sound, and the three of them fought against Lu Bu together.

With Zhang Fei and Gan Ning's joint suppression, Lu Bu felt powerless, and with Zhou Yu's containment, Lu Bu was suddenly in danger. After half a pillar of incense, Lu Bu was accidentally stabbed in the right shoulder by Zhang Fei's spear, and at the same time, the spear in Gan Ning's hand was also on Lu Bu's neck, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in Lu Bu's hand also flew up, and Lu Bu was captured alive.

At this time, Guan Yu, Dian Wei and Huang Zhong also arrived at the same time. The battle of Xiapicheng ended, and Xuzhou also fell into Zhang Bao's territory. Zhou Yu ordered the guards to tie up Lu Bu, and then asked Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Dian Wei to escort Lu Bu and Lu Bu's family to see Zhang Bao. Guan Yu also took Lu Bu's weapon and rode on the red rabbit horse.

Guan Yu knew the significance of Zhou Yu's move, and he didn't object. took two righteous brothers and 5,000 elite horsemen, and escorted Lu Bu to Nanyang to see Zhang Bao overnight.

Zhang Fei said to Guan Yu in a puzzled way: "Big brother, Zhou Yu, this kid is playing big, he actually ordered our three brothers to escort Lu Bu, it is really unreasonable." ”

Guan Yu shook his head when he heard this: "Second brother, you misunderstood the history of Zhou Ting!" When we see Bud, you'll know what's going on. Let's go! Stop thinking. We'll see. ”

Zhang Fei also felt that Guan Yu was reasonable, although he didn't understand it very well, he didn't ask any more questions, but looked at Lu Bu while comforting Dian Wei. The group rushed to Nanyang County.
