Chapter 538: Upheaval

Zhao Yun saw clearly that it was Dian Wei, and was taken aback, "General Dian Wei!" Dian Wei nodded, hugged his fists and said, "General Zhao Yun!" ”

Zhao Yun said in disbelief: "You, why are you here?" "Because of the matter of Dian Wei Toucheng Zhang Lang, Cao Pi deliberately covered it up, and the time was not long, so Zhao Yun didn't know.

Dian Wei said: "The day Cao Pi left Xuchang, I surrendered to the general!" ”

Zhao Yun couldn't believe it, "You, you actually ......"

Dian Wei said angrily: "I want to avenge the lord, and I want to realize the ideal of the lord!" Zhao Yun asked, "Revenge?" Dian Wei glanced at Zhao Yun, "I heard you talking to the general outside just now." What the general said was true, it was Cao Pi who killed the lord and killed his own father! ”

Zhao Yun frowned, "I didn't expect Cao Pi to really ......"

Zhang Lang said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, you won't have a pimple in your heart now, right?" ”

Zhao Yun smiled bitterly: "I'm just afraid that the world will scold me for being in the Qin and Chu dynasties!" ”

Zhang Lang laughed, "Zilong, do you still care about those worldly reputations like you? It is enough to have a clear conscience! Zhao Yun's heart was shocked, yes, why do you care about what others say, I only have a clear conscience against the sky, whether it is praise or slander by others, I have a clear conscience! Thinking of this, Zhao Yun's heart suddenly brightened, and he hugged his fist at Zhang Lang: "The general's words made me suddenly!" The last general is willing to serve the general! Zhang Lang happily patted Zhao Yun's shoulder and said, "Zilong, your border army has left the border, I am very worried about the safety of the border, you and your army should take a short rest and return to the border immediately." The border of Youzhou and Jizhou will be handed over to you. ”

Zhao Yun clenched his fists and promised, raised his head and said with a smile: "Before that, the last general has one more thing to do!" ”

……

Night fell, and Cao Xiu, who was looking forward to it on the western city wall, saw the torches in the wilderness in the distance like fireflies, rolling in, and at the same time there was the sound of a battle between the armies.

Cao Xiu immediately ordered all armies to prepare for battle.

Half an hour later, I saw a large army rushing to the city gate, and the leading general shouted loudly: "I am Zhao Yun, open the city gate quickly!" ”

Cao Xiu took a closer look and saw that it was indeed Zhao Yun, and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.

As soon as the city gate opened, Zhao Yun immediately led his army into the city and suddenly launched a fierce attack on Cao's army near the city gate. Cao's army was caught off guard, and his troops were insufficient, so he fled in all directions at once. Seeing this, Cao Xiu was shocked and angry, and hurriedly fled under the persuasion of his own soldiers and generals.

Zhao Yun captured the city gate, and then Lu Bu led a large army into the city, Cao's army was defeated like a mountain, and hundreds of remnants of the defeated army escorted Cao Xiu to escape from the north gate. Those people's troops, when they saw that the city gate was seized and Lu Bu's army entered the city, they were so frightened that they lost their souls, and they threw away their weapons and hid at home, and they didn't want to fight with Lu Bu's army at all.

The sound of war and chaos has been making noise all night. The next morning, the people in the city went out to take a look, and found that the banner at the head of the city had become the banner of the word 'Lu', and the streets were all Lu Bu's troops, and many Cao family army generals were escorted through the streets by Lu Bu's army with their heads slumped and listless, and what was even more frightening was that many large carts and small cars were collecting corpses in the streets and alleys, and the blood and water of the carts were dripping with blood, which was shocking.

The people were stunned by the sudden change, and they didn't know what to do, and a broken old pedant shook his head with a goat's whisker and said: "The city head changes the king's banner, yesterday's surname is Cao, and today'er's surname is Lu!" Ay! ”

Zhang Lang sent people to post notices to reassure the people, and ordered Dian Wei to be the military Cao, and led the tiger guards to the city to enforce the law. Then Zhang Lang ordered Zhao Yun to lead his 60,000 troops back to the border, and at the same time asked Zhao Yun to send people to the northern counties and counties to summon that as long as Kaecheng surrendered, they would all remain in their original posts. Zhao Yun received the order, led his 60,000 troops to leave Jizhou, went north, and at the same time sent his own soldiers to carry his letters to the northern armies and counties to give orders.

The county magistrates of Jizhou and Youzhou were basically the old people of Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, and as soon as they received the letter sent by Zhao Yun, they knew that the general trend had gone, and they took the initiative to surrender, but only Liaoxi County refused to surrender. It turned out that after Cao Xiu escaped from Jizhou City, he ran all the way to Youzhou City, preparing to rely on Youzhou's city defense and grain and grass forces to continue to resist stubbornly, and at the same time, he also ordered Youzhou Assassin Shi Gongsun Du to gather all the people's troops in Youzhou City.

Gongsun Du received the order, but secretly arranged to capture Cao Xiu to ask Lu Bu for credit.

However, the rest was missed, and Cao Xiu was furious and immediately led people to flee, and finally fled to Liaoxi. The guards of Liaoxi used to be Cao Xiu's generals, and when Cao Xiu came, he naturally made a promise. Cao Xiu immediately ordered to collect the money and food around him, and prepared to confront Lu Bujun.

Zhang Lang led the army to Youzhou, and Gongsun Du personally commanded all the civil and military forces in Youzhou to go out of the city to greet him, with an extremely respectful attitude. Later, Gongsun Du welcomed Zhang Lang and others into the Assassin's Mansion and treated each other with singing, dancing and a banquet.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Lang said to Gongsun Du: "Let the song and dance retreat." ”

Gongsun Du knew that Zhang Lang was going to get down to business, so he immediately ordered Kabuki to step back and look at Zhang Lang respectfully, waiting for instructions.

Zhang Lang asked, "How much money and grain do you have in Youzhou?" ”

"Back to the general, there are more than 70 million yuan of money and more than 400,000 tons of grain in the official warehouse in Youzhou." "How many defenders are there, and who is in command?" "General Hui, the regular army in Youzhou is only 3,000 people, and the civilian army has 100,000 people!"

Zhang Lang nodded and said, "General Gongsun will continue to serve as the assassin of Youzhou, prepare money and food for me, and help me capture Liaoxi in one fell swoop!" Gongsun Du was overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up and clenched his fists in promise.

At this time, Wang Yi hurriedly came in from outside and presented a letter to Zhang Lang: "An urgent report from Jia Xu's ancestors!" Zhang Lang took the letter, opened it, and read it. There was a look of surprise on his face, "Cao Pi actually did this?" Doesn't he want Youzhou and Jizhou? He glanced at Sun Ren, who was sitting beside him, and said to everyone: "The Cao army led by Zhang Jaw suddenly entered the Yangtze River and surrounded Chaisang!" ”

When Sun Ren heard this, he was taken aback.

Zhang Lang continued: "Sun Jian's army has retreated south to help! ”

Sun Ren said urgently: "Big brother," he only said two words, but swallowed the next words, although he was anxious, but he knew that it was not good to ask the eldest brother to go south to support her father and brother with her identity.

Zhang Lang gave her a reassuring look and said to Gongsun Du: "The southern region has changed drastically, and I can't take care of Cao Xiu anymore." The matter here will be left to you, although there are not many soldiers and horses in Liaoxi, but it cannot be taken lightly. Don't attack rashly, just hold Youzhou steadily, I will send an order to Zilong and ask him to transfer 20,000 soldiers and horses over to strengthen the defensive force. Gongsun Du clenched his fists and promised.
