Linjing, Lu Bu's official residence.

After reading the letter, Lu Bu couldn't help but move, looked around at the generals in the hall and said: "Luo Zheng wants to join forces with this general to fight Duan Xuan, and afterwards Luo Zheng takes the three counties of Longxi, Hanyang, and Wudu, and this general has to pass the gates, what do the generals think?" ”

"This ......"

All the generals were stunned, and their faces were different.

Wei Xuxi said: "Lord, this is a good opportunity!" ”

Hao Meng also nodded and said: "Yes, lord, right now, Luo Zheng is attacking Longxi, Duan Xuan is attacking Longxian, Ma Teng's defeat is imminent, and the three counties under his rule are expected to be handed over." The two counties of Beidi and Anding are barren, not enough to feed the army of Bingzhou, and Guanzhong is thousands of miles of fertile fields, and there are more than one million people. ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he couldn't help but be moved.

Zang Ba said: "Luo Zheng is scheming, how can he be so kind? ”

Wei continued: "Of course, Luo Zheng is not so kind, but right now Duan Xuan is attacking Longxian, -You-You-Xiao-Said-More-New-Most-Fast-www- If Luo Zheng wants to make the most of the three counties under Ma Teng's rule, he must join forces with our army to contain Duan Xuan's army." ”

Zang said domineeringly: "I thought it was better to be careful, so as not to fall for Luo Zheng's tricks." ”

Lu Bu nodded again and again, and said, "What Xuan Gao said is extremely true, Luo Zheng is scheming, and he can't be unguarded. However, what Wei Xu said is also right, at present, Duan Xuan sent troops to Liangzhou, and Luo Zheng wanted to win the three counties under Ma Teng's rule, so he had to join forces with General Ben to contain Duan Xuan's army. If you can break through Duan Xuan's army and get the place in Guanzhong, the great cause of this general can be expected! ”

Wei Xu, Hou Cheng and others seconded the proposal in unison, "The lord has a high opinion." ”

Zang Ba said: "At present, our army and Ma Teng are both defeated, and there are only thousands of soldiers and horses left. The strength is far inferior to Luo Zheng, even if he can finally break through Duan Xuan's army. If Luo Zheng does not keep his promise, he wants to win the pass. What will our army fight for? ”

"This ......"

Wei Xu and the others were dumbfounded for a while, speechless.

Lu Bu smiled and said: "There is no need to worry about this matter, Luo Zheng said in the letter that he only has 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and if he obtains the three counties under Ma Teng's rule, he will divide his troops to guard the pass and the key towns, and he must also guard against the Qianghu people taking the opportunity to make trouble, and he will not be able to advance eastward for the time being, and he will never compete with this general for Guanzhong." General Ben thought so, and Luo Zheng finally told the truth. ”

"This ......"

Zang Ba was speechless for a while, not knowing how to object.

Although he intuitively felt that Luo Zheng definitely didn't have any good intentions, he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

The two counties of Beidi and Anding are barren, and Lu Bu is not good at governance, so he has already suffered a lot.

Guanzhong is thousands of miles of fertile wilderness, and there are more than a million people, which is indeed a great temptation for Lu Bu.

Look at Lu Bu's red-faced appearance. I know that the lord is already extremely excited.

Zang Ba sighed and didn't say anything more.

Zhang Liao had been frowning and thinking hard, and then suddenly thought of something, and suddenly changed color: "It's not good." Lord, Luo Zheng didn't have a good heart, this is to push the lord into the fire pit. You can't fall for Luo Zheng's evil! ”

Lu Bu disagreed: "What tricks can Luo Zheng Pifu have?" ”

Zang Ba, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Hao Meng and other generals also looked at Zhang Liao and listened attentively.

Zhang Liao said: "My lord, please think." Guanzhong is the rear of Luoyang, and today the princes raised troops to serve the king. If the battle of Luoyang is lost, Guanzhong will become Dong Zhuo's strategic buffer place, how can it be lost. If Guanzhong is lost, Dong Zhuo is very likely to shift the strategic focus and mobilize heavy troops to recapture Guanzhong, and what will our army do to resist Dong Zhuo's army at that time? ”

"This ......"

Lu Bu looked at each other carefully, and suddenly his color changed.

Zang Ba, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng and other generals also changed color, and their eyes were contemplative.

Lu Bu is not stupid after all, after thinking about it carefully, he immediately understood eight or nine points, and said with an angry face: "Luo Zheng Pifu really didn't have a good heart, if it weren't for Wen Yuan's reminder, this general would have been in danger of falling into this villain's evil!" ”

Zang Ba took the opportunity to say: "Luo Zheng is scheming, the main official must be careful!" ”

Lu Bu nodded again and again, and said through gritted teeth: "This guy slaughtered the old and young in Ayang Mancheng before, but blamed General Ben, and forced General Ben and Ma Tengna to fight for both defeats, and this time he still wants to frame General Ben, it really makes no sense, if you don't kill this horseman, how can General Ben vent this hatred in his heart, it's really angry!" ”

Zhang Liao hurriedly said: "Our army fought with Ma Teng, and the vitality was greatly damaged, and it is really not appropriate to fight anymore at the moment, the lord only needs to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight without moving, and let Luo Zheng and Duan Xuan go to the dog to eat the dog, and it is best to fight for both defeats." ”

Lu Bu said 'um' and said, "What Wen Yuan said is extremely true, that's it, hurry up and reorganize the army!" ”

"Yes."

All the generals will bow their hands to answer, and they will not talk about what is in the matter.

In Longxian, the war drums are shocking, and the horns are sounding in unison.

An army of 30,000 surrounded the city and launched an overwhelming attack from the east, west and north gates, leaving only the south gate to leave a leg road for the defenders of Maten in the city to break up the desperate resistance of the soldiers when the war was unfavorable.

In the sound of three long and one short war drums, thousands of sword and shield soldiers held shields, carried sandbags, and under the supervision of the war team, braved the rain of arrows pouring down like locusts on the city, and rushed forward with their legs spread.

In the midst of the terrible screams, people continued to fall from arrows, letting out desperate and helpless wails.

Although the Xiliang army is brave and good at fighting, its equipment is really not very good.

Compared with the infantry under Gao Shun's command, whether it is the Xiliang Army under Ma Teng or the 30,000 Xiliang Army under Duan Xuan, the equipment is much worse, and the thin cloth armor can't stop the penetration of sharp arrows at all.

In terms of the cooperation of the battle array, the Xiliang Army under Duan Xuan was also much worse than the foot soldiers under Gao Shun.

When charging forward, due to the gradual opening of the formation and the lack of dense formation, the light shields of the sword and shield soldiers could not form an effective shield formation at all, and they were caused a lot of casualties by the rain of arrows pouring down from the city.

Many soldiers were unable to move after being hit by arrows and fell to the ground, so they had to wait for death.

After paying a small price, Duan Xuan's army finally filled in the three-zhang wide moat.

The sound of the Chinese army's drums changed again, and under the cover of the sword and axe soldiers, rows of light infantry immediately carried the siege ladder out of the formation, braved the locust-like arrows to rush to the city, and erected the ladder on the head of Longxian County.

Light infantry withdrew. The swordsmen in charge of the siege immediately climbed up the ladder.

"The archers withdraw, the axe men step forward!"

North Gate of Longxian County. Ma Teng swung his big knife and roared: "Fight with Duan Xuan dog thief." ”

"Kill, kill, kill, kill ......"

The earth-shattering shouts of killing rose into the sky. The archers quickly withdrew, and rows of swordsmen and axes quickly drove over.

The real bloody battle has officially begun.

The soldiers of the Ma Tengjun lifted the rolling logs and stones, raised them above their heads, and smashed them down.

In the continuous miserable howl, the soldiers of Duan Xuan's army, who were struggling to climb up the siege ladder, were all smashed and broken, their heads were shattered, and the corpses were quickly piled up three feet under the base of the city wall, and the ground was soaked in blood.

By noon, Duan Xuan's army still failed to capture the city.

In the sound of earth-shattering war drums. The first wave of besieging foot soldiers quickly retreated, and the second wave of besieging troops quickly pressed up.

Longxi, Di Dao.

Pang Detie's face was blue, and he paced around the hall with an angry face, and there was a nameless fire burning in his heart.

"General!"

In the sound of hurried footsteps, a small colonel rushed in.

"How's it going?"

Pound split his head and asked, "How are the soldiers?" ”

"General, something is not good!"

Xiao Xiaoxiao's face turned pale, and he said quickly: "Right now, there is only half a moon of food left in the city. The Qiang soldiers under the command of Luo Zheng's butcher shouted outside the city all day long, inciting the people, and they couldn't stop listening if they wanted to plug their ears. Our army broke through and lost, trapped in the lonely city. At present, Duan Xuan is attacking Longxian again, the situation is already dangerous, and the morale of the soldiers is low. The soldiers have no heart to fight, and what is even worse is that those Qiang soldiers outside the city are shouting the truth. Luo Zheng really treats the Qiang soldiers under his command very preferentially, as long as they make war exploits. Not only will they be given to a large number of pasture cattle and sheep, but also women, and many soldiers have been shouted to have the heart of refuge. ”

"Alas!"

Pound let out a long sigh and was speechless for a while.

The junior colonel hurriedly said: "General, you have to think of a way, if you let it go any longer, the general trend will be over!" ”

Pang De's face was gloomy, and he said lonely: "What can I think of, I can't order the soldiers not to listen to the shouts of those Qiang soldiers outside the city, right?" Ears grow on people, and how can this general's order prohibit it? ”

The little colonel's eyes were ruthless, and he said quickly: "It's better to cut off a group of wavering ones to shock the morale of the army!" ”

"This is not the right law!"

Pound waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, it will only make the soldiers centrifugal, but it is not good." ”

The Colonel sighed and was silent.

Pang De said miserably: "That's it, the matter has come to this, it is beyond the power of manpower, and it will not be possible to break through, even if it can be defended for half a month, there will be no food in the city at that time, and it will be difficult for Di Dao to hold it." In that case, open the gates and surrender to Gaoshun! ”

"General......

The little school was shocked and his eyes widened.

Pound waved his hand, "Go, open the gates!" ”

The little colonel was stunned for a long time before he sighed, turned around and walked out in despair.

Pang De stood still for a long time, and only then did he regain a trace of brilliance in the tiger's eyes, and muttered in a low voice: "Other people can surrender, but a certain person can't!" It's just that he failed to keep Di Dao, and what face did he have to see the lord again. ”

After saying that, he pulled out the matching sword violently, placed it on the shin, and pulled it hard.

Burst!

The blood splashed, and Pound's majestic body slowly fell.

Outside the city, Gaoshun camp.

"General, great joy!"

A small colonel rushed into the big tent and bowed his hand to Gao Shun: "Pound has surrendered." ”

"Huh?"

Gao Shun's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice: "Pound has descended?" ”

Xiao Xiao said excitedly: "Exactly, the four gates of Di Dao have been opened, and the whole city has been surrendered." ”

Gao Shun's eyes were excited, Huo Ran got up and said, "Let's go, go and see!" ”

The little colonel agreed, and hurriedly followed Gao Shun out of the big tent.

However, with a pillar of incense, Gao Shun led hundreds of soldiers to the north gate of Di Dao.

I saw that the city gate was wide open, and the military flag had been lowered on the city, and some Qiang soldiers were shouting to surrender.

Gao Shun's face was excited, and he asked loudly: "Where is Pang De, since he has surrendered, why don't you come out to see General Ben?" ”

The Qiang soldiers at the head of the city looked at each other for a while, and then the colonel shouted: "General Pang De has committed suicide." ”

"Pound committed suicide?"

Gao Shun was stunned and speechless for a while. (To be continued......) R1292
