Chapter 191 Po Shouchun pursued the puppet emperor and killed Li Cai in Hefei

The above book mentioned that Xu Miao stole the jade seal, so he mixed in with the chaos and escaped from Shouchun from the east gate. However, it can be said that he escaped all the way, but he was unharmed, and arrived in Xuchang after more than a month, and presented the jade seal to Cao Cao, who was troubled by Yuan Shao's invasion of the northern border. Of course, that's an afterthought.

Looking back at Yuan Shu, he was anxious and worried all day long, and his mood was very low.

Three days after Xu Miao escaped, on a whim, (ˇ06ˇ) wanted to hand over the jade seal in exchange for peace, so he rushed to the apse where the jade seal was stored.

When they opened the door of the temple, they were all stunned on the spot.

I saw that the guards guarding the jade seal were actually hanged on top of the main hall, but the brocade box that kept the jade seal was open, and there was nothing inside.

Yuan Shu sat on the ground, and his blank and demented gaze showed a kind of dazed and dead silence.

At this moment, his heart died......

Although Yang Hong is anxious for success and profit, he is really loyal to Yuan Highway, and even at this moment, he is still defending this down-and-out lord. Knowing that the jade seal was very important, he immediately ordered Ji Ling to block the news and let Yuan Tan take someone to send Yuan Shu back to the palace.

However, there was no impermeable wall, and the news of the jade seal's disappearance spread like a gust of wind throughout Zhengshou Spring City.

The Great Qi Dynasty, which was already in danger, collapsed in an instant.

Most of the people of the city had fled the city and hid in the mountains outside the city; Many soldiers also lost their uniforms and fled disguised as civilians.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Chen Lan and Chen Ji brothers found Ji Ling and said: "My brother is full of martial arts and has a lot of intelligence, so why don't you capture Yuan Shu and exchange it for fame from Liu Bei, the general of the left?" ”

Ji Ling sighed and said, "Two virtuous brothers, you and I have been friends for several years, and we also know a certain person. Your Majesty has known a certain person for many years, and today he is in trouble, and he dares to forget it! ”

Chen Lan and Chen Ji exchanged a look, and then said to Ji Ling: "Brother Xian, this is a bad word. Good birds choose trees to rest, and virtuous ministers choose the lord to serve. Yuan Highway did not do the opposite. Why should my brother follow him and go all the way to the dark? ”

"Don't say much!" Ji Ling said unhappily.

Seeing that Ji Ling was foolish and loyal, the two brothers reluctantly resigned.

Leaving from Ji Ling's mansion, Chen Lan said to Chen Ji: "I have already sent someone to submit a letter of surrender to General Zuo. Agree to meet at the west gate tonight, with three torches as the number, open the city gate and dedicate the city! Hurry up and count the troops, don't miss something! ”

"Good!" Chen Ji agreed and went straight to the barracks.

Liu Bei is in the camp.

Chen Gong said to Liu Bei: "Lord, Yuan Highway has reached the point of exhaustion!" Now that the jade seal has been lost, the morale of the army is even more chaotic. There should be no problem with Chen Zixiang's surrender, and he can win Shouchun tonight. ”

"Yes, Yuan Highway is undoubtedly defeated. But how many people are there in the city? Liu Bei is more concerned about the people's livelihood.

"Not much! According to Chen Lan's book, there are probably hundreds of people! Chen Gong said.

"The dark guard has withdrawn, so let the east gate out!"

In the evening, Liu Bei summoned the generals and arranged the deployment of the attack on Shouchun.

"Huang Zhong and Wei Yan made a feint to attack the south gate; Hua Xiong and Hao Yin made a feint to attack the north gate; Cao Xing and Sun Ji led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to connect with Chen Lan and went straight into the city, and then Cao Xing led troops to the south gate, and Sun Ji led troops to the north gate to meet Huang Zhong and Huaxiong! I personally led the army into the city and captured Yuan Shu. ”

"No!" The generals took their orders and went down to prepare.

In the middle of the night, Cao Xing and Sun Ji each led 3,000 troops and horses to Shouchun.

After a long time, the torches in the city suddenly shook and shook three times in a row. This was the attack signal from Chen Lan and Chen Ji, informing them that the city gate had been opened.

The two led their troops and rushed towards the city.

Huang Zhong and Hua Xiong launched a feint attack at the same time, and the catapult kept smashing on the ground outside the city wall, frightening the soldiers in the city to run around, at a loss. The general defending the city hurriedly fled back to the city, woke up Ji Ling from his sleep, and reported to him the situation outside the city.

At this time, Chen Ji seemed to be unable to bear Ji Ling's killing, and quietly sent a soldier to report the battle at Ximen to Ji Ling.

When Ji Ling heard this, he was frightened into a cold sweat.

The situation was critical, he couldn't care much, so he quickly put on his inner armor, found a plain clothes to put on, and carried a three-pointed two-edged knife to the palace.

In the palace, Yuan Shu and Yuan Tan were like ants on a hot pot, pacing back and forth on the main hall, extremely anxious. The palace guards didn't know where they had gone......

Ji Ling brought dozens of guards in plain clothes to see Yuan Shu's uncle and nephew: "It's a big deal!" Chen Lan and Chen Ji brothers dedicated the West Gate. Liu Bei's army has already entered the city, Your Majesty should quickly flee with me! ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shu fell to his knees with a puff and cried.

The matter was critical, Ji Ling looked outside in a panic, and said hurriedly: "Lord, now is not the time to be sad, it's too late if you don't leave!" ”

At this time, Yang Hong came from outside to help comfort Yuan Shu.

Eventually, several people disguised themselves as civilians and took advantage of the night to exit the east gate.

The secret guards had already found out, but they only got Liu Bei's order and did not stop them.

Liu Bei did this just to repay Yuan Tan's friendship!

Otherwise, how could he send Huang Zhong and Hua Xiong to launch a feint attack and alarm them?

Soon, they occupied Shouchun.

Liu Bei sent people to the nearby mountains and forests to invite the people to return home, and also organized soldiers to distribute rations.

The people of Shouchun are grateful, and they are even more grateful to Liu Bei.

Seeing Yuan Shu and the others fleeing, Chen Gong said to Liu Bei: "Lord, Yuan Highway fled, but this expedition lost the brightest result!" It is inevitable that the mouth of the thief will fall! The subordinates have a plan, I don't know if it's possible? ”

"Strategist, please speak!" Liu Bei was also having a headache about this matter, so he asked.

Chen Gong walked to Liu Bei's ear, lowered his voice and said, "The lord can ask the messenger to post a hanging notice and send it to the states." In this way, the mouth of the thief will be blocked! I will inform the county officials to pretend to arrest him and let him go. In this way, it can also be the old friendship of the whole lord! ”

"Strategist's Strategy!"

So, Liu Bei sent people to write notices and distribute them to various states and counties.

After a little repair of the army, Liu Bei wanted to send troops to attack Hefei.

A sentry galloped in and delivered a letter.

Opening the letter, Liu Bei's face changed suddenly, and he handed it to Chen Gong.

Chen Gong took it and looked at it, and it turned out that this letter was not an ordinary letter. It turned out to be Guan Yu's handwritten letter, to the effect that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought on a white horse. Yan Liang, a powerful general under Yuan Shao, defeated more than a dozen generals of the Cao army, and the Cao army was defeated and blocked by the white horse. Cao Jun's strategist Xun Yu and Yan Liangjun's Shi Tian Feng have fought many times, and they are also comparable. Looking at this situation, Cao's army will soon be defeated!

"Yuan Benchu is strong and strong, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are all invincible generals, this time I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to Cao's army!" Liu Bei said with some concern.

"Jiangbei can compete with the lord only Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Now that the two tigers are fighting, one will be injured. And Yuan Shao was arrogant and self-serving, and he was not Cao Cao's opponent. Even if he is defeated now, Cao Cao's damage will not be too great! Chen Gong said.

"What Gongtai said is good, Cao Cao's strategists are like clouds, and it is not yet known who will win and who will lose in this battle! I'm a little worried about Gongji and not being handsome! ”

Chen Gong smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, if Wen Bujun is not handsome, he may be lost; And how can Yan Gongji's all-round talent in civil and military affairs be easily damaged? On the contrary, their two armies are anxious, but it is beneficial to our side! Today, take Hefei first, and then attack Zhang Xun with Cai Mao, and Huainan can be determined! ”

Liu Bei praised goodness, so he followed his words.

The next day, Liu Bei sent troops to attack Hefei.

Gao Shun grabbed the position of vanguard, leading 800 traps and 3,000 swords and axes to the city of Hefei.

The defender of Hefei is Li Cai. This person is accustomed to using a meteor hammer, weighing about fifty pounds, very strong, and savage by nature. Knowing that Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were coming, he gathered more than 8,000 soldiers and horses in the city and went out of the city to meet the battle.

Seeing that there were only three or four thousand soldiers and horses on the opposite side, Li Cai's heart suddenly became clear and very proud.

I saw him holding a meteor hammer and pointing at Gao Shun, and shouted loudly: "Who on the other side dares to violate a certain border?" ”

Gao Shun snorted coldly: "General Zuo drove the front teeth to General Gao Shun is also!" ”

Gao Shun?

Could it be that Gao Shun, the first general under Wenhou Lu Bu, is the leader of the camp?

Didn't they all say that there were only 800 trapped camps under him? Why are there more than 4,000 people behind him?

Li Cai asked suspiciously: "But when you followed Wenhou Lu Bu's trap camp to lead Gao Shun?" ”

"It's down there!" Gao Shun said lightly.

Confirmed by others, Li Cai's heart is so cool and cool!

I saw that his brows were furrowed, and he threw his head to the bone, thinking in his heart that there are more than 8,000 people under my command, and are you still afraid of his 4,000 people?

In this way, this kid's head was hot, he slapped his horse, waved the meteor hammer, and commanded the soldiers while killing Gao Shun: "Rush!" Surround them, kill one and reward 100 dollars! ”

As soon as they heard about the reward, the soldiers flocked to it.

Seeing them rushing up, Gao Shun snorted coldly: "Hmph! Overestimate one's strength or oneself. After speaking, he swung the big gun and waved it left and right.

The 800 trap camp behind him suddenly formed a group of three, one in front of two behind, striding forward. The three thousand sword and axe men formed a five-person triangular formation, two in the front and three in the back, following behind the trapped camp.

When the two armies were more than ten zhang apart, Gao Shun shouted: "Kill!" ”

"Kill!" Eight hundred traps and three thousand sword and axe men shouted in unison, like thunder.

With the sound of shouting and killing, the warriors of the trapped camp waved zhanmadao like a tiger entering a flock, wantonly slashing and slashing, advancing and prodding, and the knives were stained with blood.

Gao Shun rode up from the gap between the soldiers, waved his spear to pick off Li Cai's meteor hammer, and fought with him.

Li Cai was really brave, dancing the meteor hammer, and he actually had a difficult fight with Gao Shun.

Gao Shun's marksmanship is skillful, but he has to beware of this strange weapon in Li Cai's hand - the hammer head in front is connected to the hammer handle with a chain, and he was accidentally hit by the hammer head.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them played thirty or fifty.

On the contrary, the soldiers on both sides had a clear victory. The warriors of the trapped camp rushed to kill for a while, reaping the lives of their opponents like a hellish Yama.

In the face of the ferocity of the trapped camp, the soldiers under Li Cai's command were all frightened, screaming, screaming, and running in all directions......

Li Cai, who heard this change at first glance, panicked in his heart, and there was a flaw in the attack, and he was left rib by Gao Shun......
