Chapter 148: Driving the Tiger and Devouring the Wolf
The main building of Puguan was in chaos, several commanders were killed one after another, the soldiers lost their backbone at once, and they didn't know what to do.
But think about it carefully, the current Puguan and military power are just a hot potato, and whoever picks it up is unlucky!
Yang Chou was overwhelmed, killed Yang Feng, and wanted to become a handsome, but was sent to the West Heaven with an arrow, this is the end!
Lu Bu rode the red rabbit and ran back to the original place, the chic posture of his flying general, the free and easy archery, elegant and smart, caused the wolf rider to scream wildly, and the cheers were like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth, and the worship of Lu Bu in his heart was to the extreme.
Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er yelled to avenge Zhang Ji, but before they rushed to the main building, Yang Feng was killed by Yang Chou, and Yang Chou was destroyed by an arrow, and he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
"Lu Bu is really a god, he actually shot General Yang to death with one arrow!"
"You're still fucking bullshit here, the only people who can call the shots for us are dead, what are we going to do!"
"Surrender! Maybe there's still a way to live. ”
Hu Che'er's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice: "Young General, this is a great time!" You can take the opportunity to take over the old general's troops, and those coalition forces will inevitably be led by you, and then you will be the lord of Puguan, the commander of the three armies! ”
"That's right! Now that the three armies have no master, in terms of qualifications, only a major general can sit in the position of commander. Another henchman admonished.
With tears in her eyes, Zhang Xiu looked at Zhang Ji, who was thrown off the city tower by Yang Feng, Zhang Ji fell from the city tower and had been thrown beyond recognition. Appalling. A blur of flesh and blood.
"My uncle is dead! You're still here to call me for power! Zhang Xiu scolded a few henchmen.
Zhang Xiu's parents died young. It was Zhang Ji who single-handedly pulled him to grow up, and when he was young, he sent him to Daxian to learn spearmanship and practice martial arts, for him, Zhang Ji was his biological parents, and now he died tragically. How can he still have the heart to be the commander of the three armies.
"Surrender or die! Those who do not descend, kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The wolf rode under Lu Bu's signal, and shouted frantically, and the defenders who were fighting bloody battles with Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and other siege troops were shocked.
"Zhang Yang is dead, Zhang Ji is gone, Yang Feng has been killed, what are you still trying to hold onto!"
Lu Bu ordered the wolf riders to shout in unison, and the guards who didn't know about it were suddenly in turmoil, and the guards in the main building were still thinking about the pros and cons.
"Those who descend will not die!" Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Hou Cheng and others fought hard, and blood splattered. Corpses are everywhere, ghosts cry wolves. The front wall was all red with blood, and the ground was full of corpses.
Most of the soldiers who respected Xu Huang were Yang Feng's soldiers, and now that Yang Feng is dead, they are naturally led by Xu Huang, and after hearing Xu Huang's order to surrender, they all rebelled.
When more soldiers saw this situation, how could they still have the heart to fight, besides, the boss was gone, what else could they do except follow Lu Bu.
For a while, except for the main building, there was no movement, and the rest of the places were full of sound and people, and countless figures knelt on the ground.
"Major General! Missed out! Hu Che'er sighed regretfully.
Zhang Xiu leaned the tiger-headed golden spear against the city wall and shouted to Lu Bu below: "Wen Hou, I have nothing else to ask for, I just ask you to let me bury my uncle, I will lead the army to surrender!" ”
"I can't imagine that this Zhang Xiu is so filial to Zhang Ji, could it be that Zhang Xiu ambushed Cao Cao in Wancheng, is it really just because Cao Cao defiled Zhang Ji's widow Zou?"
Lu Buhu touched his chin suspiciously, but Zhang Xiu's surrender is always a good thing, he can't surrender, and he has to attack him.
"Brother Zhang Ji, I have been an official in the same dynasty for many years, and I am also my old friend, I will be buried thickly!" Lu Bu replied.
In fact, Zhang Xiu did not surrender, and there was no way, most of the daring soldiers around him surrendered, and the soldiers at the main building did not have an advantage in numbers compared to them, and Zhang Xiu met Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, and it was impossible to defeat.
"Surrender!" Zhang Xiu got Lu Bu's reply, and ordered to the left and right, Hu Che'er and the others sighed, put down their weapons one after another, and the soldiers who were still watching hurriedly boarded the last train and surrendered.
In the Battle of Puguan, Lü Bu captured Puguan after paying a relatively small price, and most importantly, nearly 50,000 troops in the pass surrendered, and a few who still refused to surrender were slaughtered.
There are quite few defenders in Hanoi, Shangdang and other places, only two or three thousand, which is not enough to resist the edge of Lu Bu's army, plus their commanders have been destroyed, how can they still have the heart to fight against Lu Bu.
At this point, Guanzhong fell into the hands of Lü Bu, and the place south of the Yellow River was also obtained by Lü Bu, and the strategic significance of Hanoi, Shangdang and other places was extremely significant, which would be a big springboard for Lü Bu and Yuan Shao to conflict and deal with Yuan Shao in the future.
The city gate slowly opened again, and this time, the ambush was all gone, and Lu Bu could enter boldly with confidence.
In the Taishou Mansion, Lu Bu sat on the main seat without concession, and Zhang Liao, Hou Cheng, together with the generals Xu Huang, Zhang Xiu and others, sat down in batches.
The battle ended in a complete victory, and the next thing was to reward him, Xu Huang couldn't have been rewarded too heavily because of his new military exploits, so Lu Bu decided to keep him by his side and continue to sharpen.
Zhang Xiu asked for a thick burial of Zhang Ji, Lu Bu also agreed, and ordered someone to bury him, for Zhang Xiu, he also stayed by his side, which was easy to take care of, and it was good to see if he had the potential to be a general, after all, he was in history, but he was a prince of one side.
Such characters, ambitions and talents, must be figured out.
For the defense of Puguan, Hanoi and other places, Lu Bu handed over to Zhang Liao, who was reliable and had begun to have the talent of a general, of course, the most important thing was that Zhang Liao was loyal to him.
Moreover, this is the forward position against Yuan Shao, and it can only be handed over to Zhang Liao.
While drinking with everyone, Lu Bu flipped through the previous correspondence between Zhang Yang and others and other places, and when he saw the letter with Zhang He, his eyelids jumped, he pulled out, and read it carefully.
"I see, it's Yuan Shao's old man, who wants to yin me! He himself was so overwhelmed by Zhang Yan and Gongsun Chan that he even wanted to go against me. Lu Bu angrily slapped the letter on the case.
"It seems that it is necessary to give Yuan Shao a little color to see, Zhang He is in Shangjun, do you want to sneak attack? Forget it, starting a war with Yuan Shao now, although it may hurt him hard, it will not be good for me. ”
Lu Bu muttered to himself, after all, he was not on a firm foothold now, and he was not suitable for foreign combat.
"It's better to send someone to form an alliance with Gongsun Chan and Zhang Yan, and reward them in the name of the Son of Heaven, Zhang Yan, well, seal him Jizhou Mu, Han Tinghou, Gongsun Zhan, um, seal him Qingzhou Mu, increase the general, Halu haha! I'm so poisonous! ”
Lu Bu suddenly laughed, causing the generals to be stunned and didn't know why.
As we all know, Jizhou is Yuan Shao's base camp, and if Lu Buruo named Zhang Yan as the pastor of Jizhou in the name of the Son of Heaven, what is his intention? Qingzhou also has part of the territory in Yuan Shao's hands, what will Gongsun Chan do?
Also, I want to reward Yuan Shao again, let him be ranked as the third duke, and be the imperial doctor! Summoning him to Beijing, the deadline is set at three months for the time being.
Lu Bu showed a hint of a thief's smile, and immediately ordered someone to go to Chang'an to inform Jia Xu of his idea, and after asking for his opinion, he would implement it.
This move will definitely anger Yuan Shao and drive the tiger and the wolf! Myoya!
Lu Bu happily drank a few more glasses, and after enjoying himself with everyone, he retreated.
The task of reorganizing the army and taking over the rest of the land was entrusted to Zhang Liao, who was so reused by Lu Bu that he naturally devoted himself wholeheartedly to these things.
Subsequently, Lü Bu inspected Hanoi, Shangdang, Huguan and other places to deepen his influence on these places and asked Zhang Liao to guard against the other side.
The people who went to discuss with Jia Xu soon returned, and Jia Xu was full of praise for Lu Bu's poisonous plan, vigorously supported it, and hurriedly ordered someone to write three edicts in the name of the Son of Heaven, and let people beat gongs and drums and send them to the three places.
Ji Lu got Jia Xu's support, and Lu Bu's confidence became full, and he also pretended to let people give Yuan Shao a little generous gift, and also wrote a letter in his own name, writing his admiration for Yuan Shao, and looking forward to him coming to discuss the revival of the Han family in Chang'an.
When this edict was sent to Yuan Shao, it is conceivable that Yuan Shao's eyebrows must have danced happily, and then summoned the ministers and proudly declared that from now on, our Yuan family will no longer be the third duke of the fourth generation, but the third duke of the fifth generation!
Then, Yuan Shao learned that Lü Bu had divided his territory among his two rivals in the name of the Son of Heaven, and he was so angry that he vomited blood and died on the spot (this was the result of Lü Bu's imagination)
No matter what, Yuan Shao will definitely be mad, this is exactly the result that Lu Bu is willing to see, who told you to trouble me without anything.
Lu Bu came to the highest point of Puguan and looked across the Yellow River, where he could vaguely see the shadow of the camp and the city.
I'm going back to Chang'an tomorrow! The scout who had just come from Chang'an brought Jia Xu's secret letter, which explained the chaotic situation in Xiliang, and now was a great opportunity for them to make a move.
There is also Lu Bu who was sick and rushed to the doctor, wrote dozens of letters in one breath, and voted to those famous strategists in history, but there was an echo, and Lu Bu, who was already hopeless, rekindled a glimmer of hope.
Two factors forced Lü Bu to leave for Chang'an as soon as possible, and Guanbei and other places were all handed over to Zhang Liao.
That night, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao said a lot of heart-to-heart words, and drank a lot of spirits, but the two got drunk together, and the next day, Lu Bu led Xu Huang, Zhang Xiu and the wolf to ride and trap the camp back to Chang'an.
The honor team that gave the edict to Yuan Shao, as soon as he crossed the Yellow River, sent someone to inform Zhang He, Zhang He heard that he was going to give his master a reward, and he was stunned, and hurriedly sent someone to escort him to Yecheng.
Yuan Shao stayed in Yecheng, preparing military supplies with his strategists and generals, training the soldiers, and preparing to fight Gongsun Zan again, striving to defeat this sworn enemy in one fell swoop.
When he heard that someone from Chang'an was coming and wanted to give him a reward, it was said that he was a very big official, so he happily put on the official mansion and took a group of ministers out of the city to greet him.
Do you want to crown me king? Yuan Shao secretly rejoiced.
People such as Guo Tu and Xu You praised Yuan Shao very much, as if this time it was not a reward, but Liu Xie saw through the red dust and wanted to give up the throne and Yuan Shao.
Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and the others were silent, thinking, what kind of crooked ideas are Lu Bu and that black-bellied Jia Xu fighting? (To be continued......)
