Peng Tuo, the leader of the Taiping Sect in Runan, immediately revolted after receiving Zhang Jiao's order, raised troops to capture Xihua County, and based on this, successively attacked Ruyin County, Zhuoqiang County, and Zhaoling County in the north of Runan County, and wanted to unify the troops to the south, Zhao Qian, the Taishou of Runan, hurriedly led two thousand soldiers and horses to Shangcai, and the soldiers of Shangcai County were closely defended, wanting to block Peng's pace in Shangcai. And Chen Lin happened to gather all the township Yong to go north to help the war, and heard that Taishou was struggling to support Shangcai, so he summoned 400 people to push the cart to carry the grain, and Cai Yang led the headquarters as the vanguard to open the way in front, and he was going to Shangcai.

Less than two days, just about to pass Yilu County, I saw entering Yuzhou City, Yuzhou City is where the history of Yuzhou Thorn is located, and there are more than 3,000 soldiers and horses stationed. Yuzhou City is also called Runan City, when Chen Lin was looking for a big knife for Zhou Cang, he entered Runan City once. The three armies were marching, and suddenly Cai Yang sent cavalry to report to the front, saying that the gate of Runan City was closed, and there were many blood stains on the city wall, and Cai Yang suspected that there were signs of siege and fighting.

As soon as Chen Lin heard it, Runan City and Shangcai, who guarded Zhao Qian's strict defense, were still separated from Pingxing City, and now the golden thieves were confronting Zhao Qian in Shangcai, how could Runan City have signs of attacking the city, but Cai Yang was not a frivolous person, and he would not talk nonsense. So Chen Lin ordered the whole army to stop marching, and ordered Chen Ze and Zhang Ba to inquire about the military situation, and if there was any abnormality, they should not be moved and reported immediately. After ordering Chen Lin and Huang Yan to hurry forward, check in person, and come to Runan City two or three miles away to see Cai Yang.

Cai Yang hurriedly dismounted and reported that there was something strange in Runan City, Chen Lin hurriedly stepped forward and hid in the bushes to look up, and asked, "What does Zilan think is strange?" Cai Yang stepped forward, pointed to Runan City and said: "Young Master, please look, although there is a big battle in the north, Runan City will never close the city gate at noon, the young master looks again, the southwest city wall, it seems to be burning in the dark, the flags on the wall are twisted and twisted, and the patrol sergeants look around, even the patrol sergeants of Anyang County will not be like this, Runan City is the seat of Yuzhou governance, it is not as good as the soldiers of Anyang County." ”

Chen Lin looked at it, it was really as Cai Yang said, although it was not true, but the people walking back and forth on the wall were indeed not like the demeanor that people in the barracks should have. But Chen Lin couldn't understand why the good Runan City was like this, could it be that Zhao Qian failed, not only Shangcai City, but even Runan City was captured by Peng. No, in just a few days, even if Peng Tuo used his troops like a god and even went down to several cities in the north, it would not make any of the Han troops run out to report the news.

Chen Lin had no choice but to ask: "Why is this, isn't Lord Taishou confronting the thieves in Shangcai, but the scene in Runan City is difficult to understand." Cai Yang also shook his head, this is what Huang Yan said: "Big young master, what if the thief confuses Lord Taishou in Shangcai with a bluff, and sends another army to secretly bypass Shangcai and Pingxing and raid Runan City?" Chen Lin and Cai Yang looked at Huang Yan with a surprised face, and the surprise was not that Huang Yan could think of this, but that they both seemed to feel that they were afraid that Huang Yan had said it. Zhao Qian only had more than 3,000 soldiers in Shangcai, so he could only defend Shangcai City, and never dared to go out of the city to fight Peng Tuo. And Peng Tuo's desire to easily capture the heavily defended Shangcai City will never be as simple as the previous capture of Xihua, Zhaoling and other counties that were poorly prepared, and the two sides can only stalemate. As long as Peng Tuo secretly divided his troops to the south, bypassed Pingxing City, and went straight to Runan City, how could Runan City expect the anti-thieves to be so bold, and under the sneak attack, it was not impossible for Runan City to be captured by the anti-thieves. It's just that why no one went out of the city to ask for help, it was all annihilated.

Chen Lin didn't think about whether it was completely annihilated, if Runan City was breached, then Zhao Qian of Shangcai estimated that under the attack at both ends, the army would definitely be in chaos and collapse without a fight. Chen Lin hurriedly ordered: "Cai Zilan listens to the order, Zhuo, you secretly bypass Runan City and go to the north of the city or Pingxing to investigate, if there are thieves who steal most of the Runan City, it is impossible to leave no traces, if there is a situation, report it quickly." "Cai Yang got the order and went to investigate. Chen Lin turned around and ordered the army to hide in the dense forest, not to walk around and expose their whereabouts, and those who violated the order were beheaded.

Half a day, Cai Yang came back in a hurry and reported: "A certain person led people around Runan City, less than ten miles, and saw a village, all the 300 people in the village were killed, and there was not half a grain of grain left in the house. Three or four miles further north, I met a dying man, and said to a certain person that a large group of people came silently from the north last night, and the direction was Runan City. The man was going to Pingxing to deliver goods. I wanted to go back to Runan City overnight, but I didn't want to meet that team of men and horses on the way, so without saying a word, I shot them down with a bow and fell into the field, only to see so-and-so, and died after speaking. ”

Chen Lin was shocked, sure enough, there was a group of anti-thieves who attacked Runan City, it seems that this group of anti-thieves attacked the city at night, and also sent troops to guard the four gates to prevent anyone from escaping, so it is said that this Runan City was really captured by anti-thieves, but I don't know how Lord Assassin Shi is. Chen Lin hurriedly convened everyone to discuss, Zhang Ba shouted and killed him directly, but he was blinded by everyone, including Zhou Cang, the three thousand officers and soldiers of Runan City were finished, and these more than 1,000 people still wanted to capture the thieves who defeated the three thousand officers and soldiers? Zhang Ba's opinion was directly ignored, and everyone thought about it for a long time and didn't see any clever plan, in the final analysis, there was still a group of martial artists in this group, and in the end there was no way, Chen Lin decided to go and see who was in the city, and Chen Lin was no longer afraid of being exposed.

Huang Yan said: "Young Master, if you want to inquire who is in the city, but you don't need to bring so many soldiers and horses, just bring 500 foot soldiers, thinking that it is already good for my team of villagers to have 500 people, and if the cavalry does not show up, maybe it can play the role of a surprise soldier." Chen Lin felt that what Huang Yan said was good, so although Chen Lin was exposed, he was not fully exposed. So Chen Lin ordered the cavalry not to be allowed inside, and sent scouts everywhere, but those who came to inquire were all captured, and if they couldn't be caught, they were killed. Chen Lin rode alone with 500 foot soldiers to Runan City, and walked to a place two miles away from the city gate.

Chen Lin ordered the team headquarters to stop a mile away from the city, Chen Lin asked Huang Yan to arrange a loud person to shout, only to see Huang Yan send a man, take a few steps forward, roll his hands into the shape of flowers, put them in front of his mouth, and shouted at the city wall: "Who in the city came out to answer?" The voice was loud and loud. Chen Lin saw that a small leader on the city wall looked like a person pushed over and said something, and the person ran down and disappeared, presumably the leader of the city is not on the city wall now, and the little leader sent someone into the city to report.

After a quarter of an hour's work, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe staggered up the city wall, and looked down the city, and the little leader said something to him, and the scribe asked the little leader to shout: "Who is under the city?" Chen Lin signaled to respond: "Chen Bozhi of Anyang County, led 500 townships to suppress thieves. The little leader said again: "Chen Gongzi is righteous for the country, please go to the city to meet Lord Thorn Shi." After the leader finished speaking, Chen Lin turned around and smiled at Huang Yan: "If you don't know, you will rush into the city and die nine times out of ten." After speaking, Chen Lin kicked the horse's belly, beat the horse forward and passed the man who was shouting, signaling him to return to the team. Chen Lin shouted at the wall: "Haha, I don't know who the Yellow Turban is in the city, dare to attack and kill the officials in vain, now that my Runan Righteous Army is here, why don't you surrender the city quickly, Chen intercedes with the court, spare you and don't die." After Chen Lin finished shouting, he raised his knife behind him, and the five hundred righteous soldiers behind him shouted in unison: "Surrender, surrender, surrender." He shouted three times in a row, and many people in the city were frightened back three steps.

The scribe on the wall also changed his face, and he didn't expect to be seen through by Chen Lin, he originally wanted to let these five hundred people enter the city, as long as they entered the city, as soon as the city gate was closed, none of these five hundred people would escape. When the scribe heard Chen Lin shouting, he knew that he couldn't hide it, so he also began to speak: "A certain Huang Shao, I have heard of Chen Bozhi's name for a long time, and I don't want to meet here, it's really unpredictable." Now my Taiping Sect adheres to the will of heaven, conforms to the people, does the world's righteous deeds, has captured Yuzhou, Bo Zhi is the world's heroes, if you don't belong to my Taiping Sect, it must be a beautiful thing. ”

Chen Lin was angry and funny when he heard it, anti-thieves were rampant, and he even wanted to say anti-Chen Lin. Chen Lin wanted to kill the arrogance of the thief in his heart, so he had to provoke him out of the city first, so he laughed loudly: "It's funny, the five hundred township brave rebels scared you and others into retreating in the city, and they also wanted to let someone surrender, hahahahahaha, ridiculous." After speaking, the five hundred people behind him also laughed, and they despised the thieves in the city. When the scribe saw that everyone on the city wall was looking at him, he knew that if he did not show something, his morale would be greatly reduced, so he ordered a general in iron armor to lead a thousand soldiers and horses.

Chen Lin saw the city gate rumble and slowly open, and a burly man at the head of the line rushed out on horseback with a big sword, and a group of soldiers and horses were lined up behind him, all of them were armed with iron weapons, and they were lined up behind the general. After the soldiers and horses behind him stood still, the military general pointed at Chen Lin with a horizontal knife and shouted: "Gong is here, Hugh is rampant, Chen Bozhi can dare to fight with a certain one." The soldiers and horses behind Gong Du also neighed and shouted, as if they were demonstrating.

That Gong Du's arrogant appearance made Zhou Cang angry, and he angrily asked for help: "Big young master, go and cut that goods." Chen Lin nodded, now except for Chen Lin riding a horse, everyone else is a foot soldier, but Zhou Cangbu has defeated the horse battle, so he can also rest assured that Zhou Cang will fight. I saw that Zhou Cang got the order, shouted, picked up the eighty-pound knife and rushed towards Gong Du, shouting in his mouth: "Gong Du's thief is killed, and a certain Zhou Cang comes to take your dog's head." Gong Du was so angry when he heard this, no matter whether the other party was a foot general, he would rush towards Zhou Cang, and he would definitely cut Zhou Cang under the horse if he didn't kill him.

People who don't know the truth are sure that Zhou Cang will die, how can there be a horse fighter on foot, the two generals have always fought each other, and those who fall off the horse will definitely die. For example, Chen Lin, Huang Yan and others knew that they were not worried at all, but they saw Zhou Cang suddenly speed up, as fast as a galloping horse, and suddenly his body was short and he kicked the ground and jumped over, and the whole person was higher than Gong Du who was riding on a horse. Zhou Cang raised his knife in mid-air and slashed at Gong Du, who was first startled by Zhou Cang's speed, and then saw that the sky was dark in a blink of an eye, and he hurriedly looked up, and a blade that shimmered and refracted under the slanting sun smashed head-on, getting bigger and bigger. I only heard Gong Du's scream of wow, and then there was a bang, and Zhou Cang Gong all fell to the ground together, but Zhou Cang's big knife had a few traces of blood on it, and Gong Du beside him was already in two places. Gong Du's horse ran a few steps forward before stopping.

In an instant, the anti-thieves in the city and under the city were heartbroken, and General Gong Du was killed in one round, and there was no need for anyone to order, and the thousand anti-thieves who went out of the city with Gong Du turned around and ran to the city gate with a shout. Chen Lin laughed when he saw it, but he didn't dare to chase and kill, the bow and arrow were waiting in the city, and he ordered someone to pull Gong Du's horse, call back Zhou Cang, and turned around and laughed and returned to the army.
