Chapter 94 Attack Langya Sun Zhong conferred the head, and entered Xuzhou to meet Mi Zhu
Chapter 94 attacked Langya Sun Zhong and entered Xuzhou to meet Mi Zhu
Seeing that Cao Bao refused to send troops, Guan Yu adopted Chen Deng's suggestion and immediately pulled out the camp and marched to Langya.
Sun Zhong didn't expect Guan Yu to follow.
He had just entered Langya and integrated the rebels in Langya City.
After a hasty escape overnight, he was already physically and mentally exhausted, and hastily arranged for the rebels in the city to do a good job of defending the city, so he fell asleep on the kang.
Guan Yu's soldiers and horses soon came to the outside of Langya City.
Watching the guards on the city walk back and forth, Guan Yu asked Chen Deng: "Coriander Dragon, the enemy is heavily guarded, how to open the city gate?" ”
Chen Deng didn't have an idea for a while, and lowered his head and pondered.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the Yellow Turban thief caught on the way, and his heart moved, so he said: "General, why don't we send someone to pretend to be a Yellow Turban and go to the city to open the city gate!" What do you think? ”
Hearing this, Guan Yu nodded slightly and said: "This day is bright, the guards in the city can't see the situation below, not to mention the initial defeat of Pengcheng, you will definitely be able to see miraculous feats!" Zhou Cang, Meng Fan, listen to the order! ”
"The end will be." Zhou Cang and Meng Fan responded.
Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "I ordered the two of you to select three hundred strong soldiers, put on the clothes of the Yellow Turban rebels, and immediately go to Langya City, pretending to be a defeated soldier to open the city gate." As long as you occupy the city gates, you two will be credited with a great achievement! ”
"No!" The two agreed, and went down to select the soldiers, and looked for the yellow turban captive to change their clothes.
The two men came to the city with their soldiers.
Meng Fan shouted to the city: "Listen to the truth, we just escaped from Pengcheng. Open the door for us! ”
"Who are you waiting for?" The city guard asked.
When he came, Meng Fan met two people who were willing to surrender from among the Yellow Turban Thief captives, so he brought the two of them along.
He asked the two men to shout to the city: "We are the guards of the Great God's envoy!" ”
"What? The guards under the command of the great god? The city guard's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is the Great Divine Envoy?" ”
"Brother, the great god has made him, he has ......," the two men said and wiped tears from their eyes and choked up, as if they were real. Meng Fan and the others saw it in their eyes, and secretly said in their hearts, fortunately, they found such two treasures.
The hearts of the people in the city were terrified, and they secretly said that the great god envoy had died! Are these brothers put in, or not.
At this time, the little leader who was guarding the city said, "I know these two people, they are indeed the guards of the Great God Envoy Guard. Master Sun has already entered the city, and it is normal for them to flee back. Let them in! ”
Seeing the leader speak, the guards no longer hesitated, ran to the city, and opened the city gates.
Zhou Cang, Meng Fan and others entered the city gate and immediately drew their swords and rushed to the city.
At this time, the city guards had not yet woken up, so they hurriedly resisted with their knives, and said in a panic: "Brother, in this emergency period, we have to ask clearly!" ”
"Hey, brother, you're asking a good question. It's just that we lied to you! We are the soldiers and horses under the command of Lord Liu, you must remember me! My name is Zhou Cang! Zhou Cang smiled and cut down the guard with a single sword.
There were only thirty or fifty guards on Langya City, and the people in rotation were all sleeping.
Three hundred people swarmed up, and in a matter of moments, they slew the thirty or fifty.
The noisy confrontation woke up the sleeping soldiers who were on the night watch, and before they could pick up their weapons, they were attacked and killed in the camp by the slaughterers who rushed in.
After receiving the news of capturing the city gate, Guan Yu immediately led his troops to rush into Langya City.
At this time, Langya City had just woken up, and the people who got up early suddenly saw a group of fierce and murderous soldiers rushing into the city, hurriedly closing the courtyard door, and inquiring about the situation outside through the crack in the door.
Seeing that the soldiers were not plundering as the Yellow Turban thieves had done when they entered the city, they all sighed deeply, and kept muttering, begging the ethereal God to bless them.
Outside Sun Zhong's house, who was still asleep, a soldier with blood still flowing on his body was constantly beating the door knocker and shouting, "My lord, it's not good! My lord, the soldiers and horses of the court are coming! My lord, get up! ”
The shouts were accompanied by eager, desperate cries, which made people feel a sense of brokenness in their hearts when they heard it.
After a long time, a lazy voice came from the back room: "What is such a fuss?" ”
"Your Excellency, you're awake!" At first hearing his voice, the soldier was immediately surprised, with an indescribable surprise in his voice, and then shattered by the cruel truth, "My lord, hurry up!" The imperial army has invaded the city! ”
"Ahh Sun Zhong changed his lazy appearance, suddenly jumped up from the couch, and ran outside without putting on his clothes in a panic, and saw that the soldiers were covered in blood, and immediately wilted like frosted eggplants, "It's over!" It's really over! ”
"My lord, let's run!" The soldier said, holding him up.
Sun Zhong's eyes were glazed, and he muttered, "Escape? Where to flee! The world is so big, where else can we go? ”
"My lord, didn't you say that we could go to Xiapi and take refuge in Liu Bei and Liu Xuande?" The soldier said anxiously.
People can't die by heart, and once their heart dies, life is just a walking corpse. Once the heart is full of life, the heart will not be silent, and people will come back to life. Because there is yearning and hope in my heart.
Hearing this, Sun Zhong's heart suddenly brightened.
Yes! In order to repay Liu Shi for saving his life, our brother followed him.
But my brother has already repaid him with his life, and now that his life and death are uncertain, why should I go down his path? Why can't you go to Xiapi to join Liu Bei? It is said that when you get there, you will not starve anymore, because Liu Bei will give you the field......
He stood up abruptly, patted the soldier on the shoulder, and said, "You're right! Immediately put away the brothers, rushed out, rushed to Xiapi, and threw Liu Taishou! ”
After saying that, he returned to the house, hung his armor in his hand, carried a large gun, mounted his horse, and rushed out of the courtyard.
It's really unfortunate that he had just gathered three or five hundred stragglers when he ran into Meng Fan.
When the two met at first glance, they were stunned on the spot.
"You, you're Sun Zhong!" Meng Fan suddenly lost his voice and shouted.
"Yes! Meng Fan, you are Meng Fan! Sun Zhong also recognized Meng Fan.
The two jumped off their horses and ran together, their hands clasped tightly.
It turned out that Sun Zhong and Meng Fan were in the same village, and they had been friends since childhood, and they were like siblings. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Meng Fan followed Zhang Jiao to the north, and the two have been separated since then.
Knowing that Sun Zhong was the leader of the Yellow Turban thieves in Langya City, Meng Fan hurriedly persuaded him to surrender.
Sun Zhong told his good friend about his plan.
After hearing what he said, Meng Fan laughed and said: "The lord of my family is Liu Taishou in Xiapi, and the main generals who attacked Langya this time are Liu Taishou's sworn brothers, Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide, two generals. Go, I'll give you a referral. ”
At that moment, Meng Fan led Sun Zhong to meet Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others.
Seeing the Yellow Turban Thief's first surrender, Guan Yu and others were overjoyed.
Sun Zhong saw that everyone was very polite to him, and he couldn't bear it, and thought that there were still thousands of Yellow Turban brothers in the city, so he asked Guan Yu for an order: "General Guan, Zhong is willing to go to the city to rectify his subordinates, and come to surrender to the general before noon!" ”
"Good!" Guan Yu agreed to him very happily, "However, if they are willing to submit, those who want to follow you to Xiapi, just let them follow; If they want to settle here, don't force them. ”
Sun Zhong went for about two hours, pacified the people in the city, settled the remnants of the Yellow Turban who were willing to stay in Langya, and brought about 2,000 people to join Guan Yu.
After recovering Langya, Guan Yu led his troops back to Xiapi.
Liu Bei met with Sun Zhong, left him to serve in the palace, and set aside the land of Tuntian, so that they could join Meng Fan's subordinates in Tuntian. He also asked Chen Deng to comfort the families of the fallen soldiers and settle the wounded soldiers.
After everything was settled, he took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Xuzhou to meet Tao Qian.
Cao Bao reported the battle of Pengcheng to Tao Qian, and did his best to wash away the shame of the defeat of the army a few days ago.
Regardless of whether his battle report was true or not, Tao Qian still rewarded him lavishly.
Cao Bao did not forget the help of the general Zhang Min, and recommended Zhang Min to Tao Qian.
Therefore, Zhang Min stayed under Cao Bao, successfully improved, and became a general in Tao Qian's mansion.
Just as Tao Qian was preparing to send Cao Bao to conquer Langya again, Liu Bei flew to Xuzhou with Guan Yu and Zhang.
"Lord Envoy, I have already made the second brother Guan Yu and the third brother Zhang Fei capture Langya, exterminate the bandits, and I have come to report to the envoy. Langya County is missing, please make arrangements as soon as possible! After Liu Bei nodded to Zhen Rong, he reported directly to Tao Qian.
"Ahh Xuande is really a hero among the people, and he has made such a great achievement. Tao Qian originally looked down on Liu Bei. First, Liu Bei is a disciple of Lu Zhi, and the so-called famous teacher makes a high apprentice, so Tao Qian has to look down on him; Second, when the rebellion against the Yellow Turbans was quelled, Liu Bei could be said to have become famous and almost famous all over the world.
"Adults have won prizes. It is the duty of Bei to help you solve your worries! Liu Bei said humbly.
Cao Bao on the side saw it in his eyes, and his heart was quite slanderous.
At this time, Tao Qian ordered: "Pass the order, set up a banquet in the mansion tonight, catch the wind for Liu Taishou and his two righteous brothers, and also celebrate the pacification of the rebels, and celebrate the achievements of the two generals Guan Zhang and General Cao!" ”
"Yes, sir!" Di Rong agreed and went down to arrange.
The crowd dispersed, and Tao Qian took Liu Bei and the three to his mansion.
"Xuande, I'll introduce you to someone in a while, you have to make a good friend!" Tao Qian said mysteriously to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei's heart moved, and he asked, "Lord Envoy, this ......?"
Tao Qian smiled mysteriously.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and he said, "No, people have come!" ”
I saw a person walking in from the outside, wearing a brocade silk robe, wearing a red square scarf, with a quiet face and few beards, seven feet tall, and a thin body.
This person came to Tao Qian's approach, clasped his hands into fists, and bowed: "Lord Envoy, Mi Zhu is polite!" ”
