Shocked to hear that Cao Jun broke the city, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were both shocked, and asked why Cao Jun broke the city so quickly?

"I heard that Hou Cheng and Wei Xu stole open the city gate and let Cao soldiers enter the city, and now the Cao army that is pouring in from the east gate has five or six thousand people, and they are killing the remaining three gates, preparing to open the city gate from the inside and let other Cao soldiers enter the city!" The soldier who returned wiped the rain from his face and reported in a hurry.

"Hate Hou Cheng! I swear to kill this traitor! ”

Gao Shun was furious, pressed the hilt of the sword on his waist, and prepared to go out to organize the army to meet the enemy. Zhang Liao was bent on leaving, and he didn't want to stop him. At the very least, Zhang Liao planned to surrender to Yuan, rather than directly surrender to the enemy.

Zhang Liao's figure suddenly burst out, and he suddenly strangled Gao Shun's arms from behind, hugged him tightly, and shouted to the left and right: "Hurry up and get the rope and tie General Gao up!" ”

Gao Shun struggled a few times, and was firmly held by Zhang Liao from behind, unable to break free. Shocked and angry, he asked, "Zhang Liao, are you also the opposite?" ”

Zhang Liao didn't answer Gao Shun's words, swept the shocked Gao Shun's subordinates, and asked: "General Gao treats you well, I don't think you want to see General Gao die in Xiapi, right?" Since General Gao was unwilling to go, we forcibly tied him up. Which of you is familiar with the general's family, go to Gaofu. Picked up his wife and children and went out of the city together. ”

Zhang Liao's brother had already held a rope and tied Gao Shun's whole person into a knot, unable to move, Gao Shun still wanted to shout, but Zhang Liao personally found a cloth towel and wrapped his mouth, Gao Shun was honest, he couldn't shout, and he couldn't move. It's just in vain.

Gao Shun's henchmen understood that Zhang Liao was trying to save Gao Shun. Immediately, a person stood up and said: "The villain is familiar with Madame, I will immediately take a few brothers to Gaofu to pick up Madame and the little general to go out!" ”

"Zhang Kuo, bring a dozen brothers to accompany you, no matter what. Also bring my sister-in-law and two children safely to the north gate to meet us! Zhang Liao turned his head and shouted at his brother Zhang Kuo.

"Brother, rest assured. I'll die in battle. I also want to send my sister-in-law to the north gate. ”

Zhang Kuo agreed, and greeted more than a dozen brothers, all of whom were armed with blades. turned over the horse and followed Gao Shun's henchman straight to the mansion.

Zhang Liao glanced at Gao Shun's entourage, one of whom was his cousin Gao He, and ordered: "You can go to the north gate first, ask your brother's soldiers, if anyone is willing to follow us to surrender to Yuan Gong, then go together, if not, do not force it." ”

Gao He hugged his wrist and said: "The last general will obey General Zhang's orders, and I also mean this." Leaving the brothers to die in the city, the last general couldn't bear it, and it would be best if he could take them to Hebei together. ”

After Gao He finished speaking, he turned over and got on his horse, and rushed to the north gate with six or seven people in front. More than 2,000 people under Gao Shun's command are responsible for guarding the north gate on weekdays, and they are stationed near the city gate.

Zhang Liao glanced at Zhang Kuang and the remaining Gao Shun's entourage, and ordered: "You first take General Gao to the north gate and wait for me, I will go to the Ximen military camp, ask my brothers, if there is anyone willing to leave, go to Hanoi together." ”

"No!"

Zhang Kuang agreed, and his brothers got Gao Shun on the horse, and a Gao Shun's retinue held him on the horse, and the two rode Gao Shun's mount together.

Zhang Liao didn't pack his bags anymore, anyway, his wife and children had already left, and the rest of his things were outside his body. picked up his Yunyue knife, turned over and rode on a war horse, and quickly led everyone out of the mansion. As soon as I came to the street, I heard someone shouting "General Zhang".

Zhang Liao stared at it, and saw that in the fluttering wind and rain, a graceful lady was holding a child, and the other hand was holding a package, which was his neighbor Qin Yilu's wife Du Shi.

、、、、、、、、、、

Speaking of which, this Du Shi is also a hard-working man, and he responds to the sentence of being famous. She is twenty-seven years old this year, and she is born with a shy appearance, with the color of the country and the city, and the Diao Chan is called "Xiapi Shuangjue", which shows that her appearance is extraordinary.

Du's husband Qin Yilu's real name is Qin Yi, and his appearance is extraordinary, Yilu is just his official position, and he is responsible for managing the clothing and equipment of soldiers under Lu Bu, because his official position and name are similar, he is called Qin Yilu.

Qin Yilu's ancestral home is Jiuyuan, and he is a fellow villager with Lu Bu, which is why Lu Bu arranged a good errand for him. And Du's maiden family is Yuci County, Taiyuan County, nicknamed Yueniang. It was when Lu Bu was still serving under Ding Yuan that he married Qin Yilu, and gave birth to a son Qin Lang after marriage, who is nine years old this year. Lu Bu went from Bingzhou to Luoyang, then to Chang'an to Puyang, and finally until Xiapi, Qin Yi has been following with his family.

Since Lu Bu took root in Xiapi, Zhang Liao's mansion happened to be next to Qin Yi's mansion, Zhang Liao's wife Yang and Du were of the same age, and they often visited each other, and they became good sisters who talked about everything, so Du and Zhang Liao were also very familiar.

As for where Du's husband Qin Yilu has gone now, there are still twists and turns in the story here. LΓΌ Bu was attacked by Cao Cao very quickly, so he sent Qin Yi to Shouchun to ask Yuan Shu for help. Yuan Shu himself is already Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and a year is not as good as a year, where is he willing to send rescuers to rescue Lu Bu and provoke Cao Cao, a fierce beast, so he naturally refuses to send troops.

But Yuan Shu fell in love with Qin Yi, who was clear-eyed and beautiful, and forcibly left Qin Yi in Shouchun as an official, and found a local Han clan relative to marry her sixteen-year-old daughter to Qin Yi as his wife.

In later generations, there was a wise philosophical saying, "No matter how beautiful a woman is, there is a man behind her who is so much that he wants to vomit", I don't know if it is because he likes the new and hates the old, or he knows that Lu Bu will be defeated, Qin Yi is so obsessed with his mind that he really stayed in Shouchun and didn't leave. Leaving orphans and widows in Xiapi, no one cared about them, but fortunately, Zhang Liao next door was sheltered, so he was not bullied.

Hearing the neighing of horses from outside tonight, Du listened carefully to the conversation in Zhang Liao's mansion, and then learned that Zhang Liao was going north to Hanoi to join Yuan, so he took the child and came out to beg to escape with a piece. Thinking that he and Zhang Liao's wife are good friends, like sisters, Zhang Liao will inevitably treat himself well. And I heard that the Cao army killed people like hemp, slaughtered Xuzhou several times, and had died under the Cao army's saber more than 100,000 people.

Zhang Liao frowned slightly, and shouted at Zhang Kuang: "Zhang Kuang, take Mrs. Du and Asu to the north gate, and throw them into Hanoi together!" ”

"Okay, it's over to the little brother!"

Zhang Kuang couldn't ask for such a beautiful difference, so he agreed, rode a horse to Du Shi, stretched out his hand to lead her, and pulled her to the horse. Then he ordered another brother to carry Qin Lang.

"Go, I'll be there later!"

Zhang Liao waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Kuang and the others to go first, and went straight to the Ximen military camp by himself. There were more than 2,000 people stationed there under his jurisdiction, and Ping Su was in charge of guarding the west gate. It was only three miles away from his mansion, and he arrived at the camp in a few moments.

At this moment, the Cao army outside had already launched an offensive. However, the loss of storming the city gate must have been huge, so the Cao army under the city only feinted, waiting for the companions who entered from the north gate to open the city gate from the inside to respond, so the two sides only shot at each other at the head of the city, and the battle was not fierce.

Zhang Liao came to the city and saw that most of the soldiers with more than 2,000 people were still defending the city, but he didn't know that Cao's army had broken through the east gate. I couldn't help but sigh, and there was a hint of shame.

"Brothers, the Cao army has entered from the east gate, and Xiapi is no longer guaranteed. Lu Bu didn't listen to his advice, he took the blame for himself, and decided to go to Hebei to seek refuge with Yuan Gong, and if you are willing to go, go with me, don't sacrifice in vain! ”

Zhang Liao let out a loud shout on his horse, then beckoned to some captains and military officers who had a good relationship with him, and then turned his horse's head and went straight to the north gate.

Hearing Zhang Liao's words, these soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then reflected. The city gates have been breached, there are seventy or eighty thousand Cao troops outside the city, and there are only more than 13,000 people in the city, and the lord is about to abandon the city, this battle is still a fart!

Most of these people were soldiers from Bingzhou, Liangzhou, and Sizhou, and only a few Xuzhou locals went down the city in a swarm, followed Zhang Liao, and went straight to the north gate. It is also a good choice to be able to take refuge in the Yuan family, which is powerful in the world, at least it is better than dying under Cao's saber, Cao Bing even kills the people, not to mention their captives. Only one hundred and ten locals quietly lost their weapons, took off their armor, and sneaked home to hide. All of a sudden, there was no one left in the city.

The main general responsible for attacking the east gate is Yu Ban, and the deputy is Xu Huang. At this moment, the two were supervising the battle not far from the city, and suddenly the soldiers came to report: "General Qiyu, all the defenders at the head of the city suddenly retreated, and there is no longer a defender?" ”

"Oh......" Yu Ban stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and said loudly: "It must be Yuan Rang's subordinates who killed him from the east gate, and the soldiers at the head of the city went down to fight in the streets......"

Then he ordered loudly: "Brothers, General Xiahou's subordinates have already entered the city, and they can't be allowed to snatch all the great achievements." Since there are no defenders on the city, the whole army will attack the city, set up ladders, siege stakes, give me all the time, and break the door for me in a cup of tea! ”

"Kill!" Xu Huang made a big axe in his hand, took the lead, and killed the city first.

With the order of the main general, the 15,000 men and horses of Ximen rushed to Xiapi City like a tide. Crossed the moat, erected a ladder, climbed the top of the city, cut the locks, lowered the drawbridge and opened the gates. Tens of thousands of Cao troops immediately swarmed into the city.
