The wind howled, the rain poured down, the rain fell madly from the sky, the black and heavy seemed to collapse down, the wind chased the rain, the rain chased the wind, the wind and the rain united to catch the dark clouds in the sky, and the whole heaven and earth were in the rain.

On the hill, there was a big man straddling a strong horse, he held a sword in one hand and a horsetail in the other, and his eyes were sharp as he looked at the soldiers who were pouring into the city in the distance.

This big man, tall, broad-shouldered and round-waisted, nine feet tall, with big copper bells, thin lips, and a black and thick beard on his face, this person is the Taishou of Wudu County, Liang Shuang.

"Lord Qi, the army has all entered the west county town, and has not encountered resisting soldiers and horses."

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from the front, and a man and a horse were like a sharp sword with a flickering cold light, cutting through the layers of rain curtains in an instant, and galloping to the front of the big man to report the battle situation.

"Didn't encounter the state army?" After listening to the report, the big man's thick eyebrows were raised in vain, and the horizontal flesh on his face shook accordingly, making his whole person look extremely vicious, bloodthirsty, and cruel.

The general smiled: "I must have been scared by my army and slipped away."

Liang Shuang looked at his nostrils high, looking self-righteous, and inexplicably burst out of anger in his heart, and immediately opened his mouth to reprimand: "Fool, if it weren't for the help of the Chen family, we might not be able to beat Xixian even if we fought for a year, with the law of war, ten are encircled, five are attacked, times are warned, less is defended, and if you can't, you can avoid it, now the city is broken, and it is normal to meet the soldiers and horses who have not encountered resistance, and it is called a ghost when you encounter it!" ”

Seeing that the generals didn't seem to understand, they shouted: "The princes of the Eighteenth Road are locked in the tiger prison, why can't they advance half a step in two months?" It is because of Gao Shun, the general under Lu Bu's account, who is not only excellent in martial arts, but also extremely good at using soldiers. ”

Liang Shuang paused, and then admonished: "With him as an enemy, we should be careful, order the army, slowly enter the city, and beware of Gao Shun's counterattack."

"No!"

The general bowed in agreement, and immediately rode his horse back and forth in front of the battle to deliver orders, and ordered the army to slowly enter the city.

As General Liang Shuangbu said, after the army entered the city, it did not encounter the slightest resistance, and the soldiers seized the city of Xixian without blood, and the fall of Xixian and Lintao also grew wings and flew into the hands of Cheng Yu and Chen Gong.

At this time, the two of them were already very busy, there were war reports everywhere, and news of defeat everywhere, in less than three days, except for Xiangwu and Barrier County, the entire territory of Longxi basically fell, not only Longxi, but also several counties in Hanyang have also been broken by the rebels.

Holding the battle report in his hand, Chen Gong paced back and forth in the tent in a hurry, his face was full of sadness, and Cheng Yu next to him was not far behind, his weather-beaten face began to wrinkle gradually, and he was concentrating on checking the map at this time.

After a while, Cheng Yu looked up at Chen Gong, and said, "Gongtai, we have lost Longxi, this Hanyang can't be lost, otherwise there will be no place for us."

Hearing this, Chen Gong strode up to Cheng Yu and asked, "What is Zhongde's good plan?" ”

Cheng Yu greeted Chen Gong, pointed to the map and said: "Come and see, Zhu Yu Mountain, Luomenju, Shangqi, and Xiangwu are the throats of Hanyang County, if we can hold these four places, Hanyang County will be as stable as Mount Tai, and we still have hope!" ”

Staring at the map for a while, Chen Gong's brows furrowed slightly: "How many soldiers and horses do we have?" ”

"I have roughly calculated, General Zhang Liao is 10,000, General Huang Zhong is 10,000, General Gao Shun is 10,000, we have 10,000 in our hands, Yang Fu Weikang has 5,000, and Chen Cang Zhao Ang has 5,000, but Chen Cang is a military fortress, it is easy to abandon it, but it is difficult to take it, so Zhao Ang's soldiers and horses there are not a last resort, and they must not be moved!"

"Okay, according to what you said, stick to these four places, wait for the lord and Wenhe to come back to help, then I will go to Xiangwu to assist General Zhang Liao, you lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to Shangqi, Zhu Yushan has General Gao Shun to protect it, but what should I do if I get together?"

Cheng Yu nodded: "It makes sense, although General Huang Zhong is brave and strategic, he is not good at defending the city, how should this be?" ”

Just when the two of them didn't know who to send to help Huang Zhong, a personal soldier suddenly came to report that there were two scribes outside the tent who asked to see him.

Chen Gong muttered, who is it at this critical moment of survival? went out with Cheng Yu at the moment.

Outside the gate, two middle-aged men stood with their hands in their hands, and at this time they were carefully looking at the camp of the Bingzhou army.

Suddenly, one of them stroked his beard and said, "Li Wenyou, I finally understand why you have only come to see Zhongde and Gongtai now."

Li Ru shook the crane feather fan in his hand, and the corners of his mouth drew an arc: "Oh? What does Mr. Bojo understand? ”

Cai Yong looked at Li Ru with a smile: "The icing on the cake is not as good as sending carbon in the snow, when we first came, Lu Bu's account was full of talents, there were Jia Xu, Chen Gong, Cheng Yu, Zheng Hun and others, Wu Huang Zhong, Hao Shun, Zhang Liao and other generals, which one is not one of the few characters, even if you Li Wenyou have helped him a lot, although your wisdom is not under Jia Xu and others, but there is no size of merit, even if Lu Bu wants to reuse you, but I am afraid that the generals will not accept it, so if you want to make a contribution, you have to wait at least a year or two." ”

Cai Yong paused, and continued: "It's different now, Longxi Haoqiang and Liang Shuang are in chaos, at this moment he has reached the time of critical survival, your appearance now is undoubtedly a carbon in the snow, and when Lu Bu is rewarded for his meritorious deeds in the future, you Li Ru will be indispensable for his merits."

Li Ru shook his head and smiled bitterly, and saluted Cai Yong: "Mr. is as wise as a torch, and the student has been taught."

Just when the two were chatting happily, they saw Chen Gong and Cheng Yu striding over.

Chen Gong and Cheng Yu had a question along the way, the sky was about to fall at this time, who came to ask for a meeting at this time, when they saw the people standing outside the gate, Chen Gong and Cheng Yu's eyes were like toads, and then they rubbed their eyes incredulously, and after determining that the people outside the gate were Li Ru and Cai Yong, they shouted: "Mr. Bo, Li Wenyou, how can it be you?" ”

Li Ru and Cai Yong immediately stepped forward, and after greeting each other, they heard Cai Yong smile and say, "Why can't it be us?" ”

Cheng Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I and Gongtai have been speculating all the way, at this critical moment of survival, who will come to help us, I never thought it would be the two, what a mistake, a mistake!" ”

Although the rebels were menacing and Chen Gong was worried, he was still calm, and said to the two with a smile: "This is not the place to talk, please Mr. Bo Jiao and Wen You to talk in the tent."

Under the leadership of Chen Gong and the two of them, Cai Yong and Li Ru have stepped into the big tent of the Chinese army, and the four of them, regardless of their reputation, are all born as scholars.

After the two sides gave up, Chen Gong said: "I don't know what happened to Mr. Bo Jiao and Wen You when they arrived in Hanyang County?" ”

It stands to reason that Cai Yong is the general of the imperial court, and Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's adviser, the two should be in Chang'an, how could they appear in Hanyang for no reason, there must be something strange about this matter, and Chen Gong must figure it out.

Li Ru glanced at Cai Yong, and after seeing him nodding, he immediately knelt down and said: "There are eggs under the nest, and Mr. Bo and I came here to avoid the disaster, I don't know if the two of you can take them in?" ”

Hearing Li Ru's ambiguous answer, Chen Gong didn't want to ask more, and said at the moment: "No matter what Mr. and Wen You came to say, but I don't think it's a bad thing, but this rebel army is menacing, I don't know what Wen You suggests?" ”

Li Ru shook the crane feather fan lightly, and his eyes flashed with wisdom: "This rebellion is also a test for Fengxian, and it is not a bad thing!" ”

Cheng Yu was shocked, and immediately asked, "How can it be a good thing?" ”

Li Ru sighed lowly, Lu Bu's destruction of the Lintao Dong family has been spread in the Han Dynasty, after Dong Zhuo heard about this, he also killed hundreds of people in Chang'an to vent his anger, but he returned to the night and night sheng song life the next day, since Dong Zhuo didn't want to care, he Li Ru had no reason to care, calm down the complicated mood, Li Ru smiled: "The demise of the Lintao Dong family, even though it played a role in knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, but most of the people are unconvinced, through this rebellion, all the hidden crises have surfaced, Just wait for the rebellion to be quelled, and each of you will be defeated."

Cheng Yu and Chen Gong nodded at the same time, both feeling that Li Ru was right, it was the enemy who was in the dark before, and they were in the light, after this chaos, the enemy has surfaced, which may not be a good thing.

"As for counterinsurgency, it's too early to say at this time, your first task now is to keep Hanyang and wait for Bong to come back!"

Cheng Yu and Chen Gong looked at each other and smiled, so they told Li Ru the results of their discussion for details, Li Ru listened to it, nodded in agreement, and then got up and said: "I am willing to rush to Luomen to help Huang Hansheng, I don't know what the two of you think?" ”

Chen Gong slapped the table and laughed loudly: "With your Li Wenyou's help, I'm really relieved!" ”

Cai Yong stroked his beard and smiled: "Then I'll go to Shangtai with Zhongde!" ”

After hearing this, Cheng Yu immediately bowed down: "Thank you, sir!" ”

The four of them discussed it carefully, and after feeling that there were no loopholes, Chen Gong immediately drafted a few orders, stamped the seal, and sent the sentry to Huang Zhong, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao for eight hundred miles in an expedited manner, and a vigorous battle to defend Hanyang was about to begin.
