The rest of the battle was like a tour, and all the counties were in the wind. After Tian Fan and Lu Bu and his entourage took down Long Kang without spending a single soldier, they received news from Liu Bei, and it turned out that Liu Bei was blocked in Xiang County.

The guard is Huang Shao, and he is also the remnant of the Yellow Turban. This man took a few thousand of his own people to seize Xiangxian some time ago, and then took root here. This person is as careful as a hair, although he has no great talent, but he guards Xiangxian like an iron pass, so that people can't find the weakness of the city defense at all!

The first is negotiation, Liu Bei sent someone to write a war letter with Huang Shao, wanting to solve the problem in the field. But Huang Shao is not stupid, knowing that he can't beat Liu Bei, can he still be sent to death outside the city? Persuasion is fruitless! The second trick is to scold the war, scolding the people in the city for being cowards, anyway, what is ugly to scold! Huang Shao listened with a smile and said, "It's just a rabid dog barking!" ”

As a result, they held each other for three days and stormed for three days, Liu Beijun died more than 1,000 and injured more than 2,000, but Xiangxian County was still as safe as Mount Tai.

After a brief discussion between Tian Fan and Lu Bu, Zhang Liao was left to lead 8,000 men to defend Longkang and go north to reinforce Liu Bei.

Tian Fan took Zhang Liao's hand and said, "Wenyuan! I believe in you, I hope you can keep Longkang! ”

Zhang Liao didn't expect that he could lead Liu Bei's soldiers to defend Liu Bei Gang to defeat the city, you must know that he is not Liu Bei's subordinate at all! Tian Fan's trust in him made him very moved!

He said with red eyes: "Boguang believes in me, and I have to be worthy of Boguang's trust!" Don't worry, I will defend Long Kang! "Looks like he's going to fight hard!

Tian Fan is gambling, betting that Zhang Liao, a loyal and righteous person, will be entrusted by others to be loyal!

After the two armies converged, Liu Bei was in the camp.

After Liu Bei saw Tian Fan, he excitedly took his hand and said, "Boguang, hahaha, Boguang is really a god!" You've done a great job in setting up a medical camp! Hahaha, the two thousand soldiers who were wounded all over the time, except for the seriously injured, did not have inflammation! All survived! ”

After speaking, he took a step back, bowed to Tian Fan, and said emotionally: "Boguang! I thank you on behalf of the wounded soldiers! Without your methods, they could be seventy percent dead! It will be a big blow to their families, to their parents! Thank you! ”

Tian Fan hurriedly pulled him up and said, "Lord, this is what I should do!" Thinking of Qin Siyu, the only flower in the camp, Tian Fan couldn't help but smile.

Lu Bu asked what was going on, Liu Bei explained the matter of the medical camp in detail, and Lu Bu looked at Tian Fan as if he was seeing a fairy. Liu Bei's generals feel very happy, it's good to follow Liu Bei, 10,000 soldiers can be used as 15,000! The soldiers also feel very happy, it's good to follow Liu Bei, one life can be several lifers!

At this time, Liu Bei noticed He Yi, He Man, and Xu Chu behind Tian Fan, and at first sight, a good impression arose! It's no wonder that this kind of big man with big shoulders and round waist, how could he not like it?

He hurriedly asked, "Boguang, who are these three?" ”

Tian Fan hurriedly introduced: "Lord, hehe, great joy, lord!" The two are He Yi and He Man brothers, and after I met them, they voted for the lord! This is Xu Chu Xu Zhongkang, who is actually a fierce general! He has been fond of his lord for a long time......"

When Liu Bei heard that Xu Chu had fought against Lu Bu and was undefeated, he happily took Xu Chu's hand and said, "Zhongkang, you can come to assist me, it is really Liu Bei's luck!" ”

Xu Chu smiled innocently and said, "Lord, that's what Wen Hou let me!" ”

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Zhong Kang doesn't have to be arrogant, your martial arts are also extremely powerful!" Well, if there is no Red Rabbit to help, even if I fight you with all my might, I am afraid that it will be fifty rounds later! If in a few years, your martial arts reach the peak, you and I are afraid that you and I will not be able to tell the winner without eighty rounds! ”

As soon as Liu Bei heard Lu Bu's words, he couldn't hide his smile! …,

Tian Fan said: "Lord, Zhongkang is not good at fighting outside, he wants to be the lord's guard!" ”

Liu Bei nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "This is very good!" Okay, wait until I think about it! Well, Zhongkang, you are the captain first, and you will lead my guards together with Shuzhi! Zhongkang, what do you think? ”

Xu Chu hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, lord!" ”

Liu Bei walked in front of He Yi and He Man again, and the two hurriedly pushed the golden mountain and fell down to the jade pillar, and shouted: "Meet the lord!" ”

Liu Bei grabbed them, nodded again and again, and said, "What two good men!" Well, what do you two want? ”

Tian Fan said distressedly: "Lord, the two of them only asked to follow me as a personal soldier, and I don't know why they ......."

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, looked at Tang Yi and Tang Er, and then looked at He Yi and He Man, and said, "It's okay!" There are only Tang Yi and Tang Er around Boguang, and it is really less, I agreed! ”

The two hurriedly knelt down and shouted, "Thank you for your grace!" ”

After a while, everyone sat down and discussed the affairs of Xiangxian.

Liu Bei asked Lu Su to explain the situation in detail to Tian Fan, Lu Bu and others, and after three days of siege, Liu Bei decided to besiege the city and immediately sent people to Xiapi to transfer catapults.

After talking about the situation, everyone looked at Tian Fan, and they hoped that Tian Fan, who often won by tricks, could say an idea. But everyone was disappointed, and Tian Fan didn't have any good ideas to think of.

Since there is no way, continue to attack the city!

Liu Bei's military flag, fluttering in the north wind, is particularly eye-catching!

The first wave was led by the suffocated Lu Bu!

First of all, a rain of arrows will suppress the people in the city! Then he led his soldiers to approach the walls at an extraordinary speed! And the archers have been following behind, ready to suppress the bows and arrows on the walls at any time.

When Liu Bei's soldiers reached the city wall about thirty steps, there was a bang on the city wall, followed by a rain of arrows!

Lu Bu shouted: "Be careful! Vertical shield! ”

The soldiers hurriedly raised their shields, but some of them were shot by arrows!

Liu Beifang's archers also fought back under the command of Lu Bu, and there were casualties on the city wall!

Lu Bu shouted: "Brothers, move quickly, when they reach the root of the city wall, their bows and arrows will be useless!" Follow me! When he finished shouting, he rushed forward with a four-foot machete! The soldiers, led by him, were greatly boosted, and rushed to the city following his figure.

Then there was a cloud ladder, Lu Bu bit the big knife, and he was the first to climb the cloud ladder!

As he was about to climb to the top of the city, a stone the size of a millstone fell! Lu Bu couldn't dodge, so he had to jump off the ladder. And the two soldiers who held the ladder were directly smashed into pulp!

At the same time, a similar situation occurred in almost all ladders! The Yellow Turbans in the city erected large wooden shields, which significantly reduced the attack effectiveness of the archers! Attack failed!

Just as Lu Bu was about to make persistent efforts and attack, the sound of Ming Jin sounded, and he had no choice but to retreat.

Back in the camp, Lu Bu shouted angrily: "Xuande, why Mingjin? Attack again, and I'll be able to go up the walls!" As long as I go up to the wall, no one can stop me! ”

Liu Bei shook his head in distress and said, "Fengxian, it's not that I don't want to attack, but I just received an urgent report from Zang Ba that Cao Mengde's army has arrived in Suiyang!" ”

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and shouted indifferently: "Even if he Cao Mengde comes, we should attack again!" ”

Tian Fan hurriedly said: "Feng Xian, you calm down first!" Don't worry, let's discuss it! ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he snorted angrily and had to sit down.

Divide the troops, I am afraid that the enemy will not be able to defeat Huang Shao, give up the siege, and feel that I have lost a little, and the work done in the early stage is in vain, it is difficult!

Just when everyone was at a loss, the school came to report that the gate of Xiangxian County had been opened and Huang Shao had surrendered! …,

Everyone was stunned, and then Guan Yu and Lu Bu, who reacted, pulled out their swords and were about to kill Huang Shao! You want to surrender, why didn't you surrender earlier? Caused us to attack for so many days, lose so many people, and now we want to surrender?

Liu Bei hurriedly grabbed the two of them and said, "Fengxian, second brother, don't be impulsive!" Let's take a look! ”

When they drove out of the camp, they saw a thin man, shirtless and with a bundle of branches tied to his body, kneeling at the gate of the camp.

Seeing someone coming out, he hurriedly kowtowed and shouted loudly: "Sinner Huang Shao, meet Uncle Liu Huang!" The sinners offended Tianwei, please punish the emperor! ”

Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said, "Huang Shao, you don't have to be like this, please get up quickly!" As he spoke, he took off his cloak and put it on Huang Shao.

Huang Shao said movingly: "People say that the lord has the heart of Zhou Gong, and when I saw it today, it was really so!" Shao is willing to go to the lord's account as a small official, saddle the horse for the lord, no complaints and no regrets, ask the lord to be fulfilled! ”

Liu Bei nodded again and again and said, "Huang Shao, with your help, it's like a fish in water!" ”

Huang Shao hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, lord!" ”

This time, everyone understands it! Huang Shao must have intended to vote for Liu Bei a long time ago, but he was afraid that he would not be taken seriously, so he guarded the city for a few days, let Liu Bei see his ability, and then surrendered!

In fact, Huang Shao's approach is not unusual, nor is it unforgivable. People in this era, in order to be reused by the lord who is about to take refuge, often fight the other party first, so that the other party understands their own ability. In fact, Xu Chu did the same!

And as a male master, if you don't have this amount of tolerance, you can't develop! Think about how many of Cao Cao's subordinates were originally from the enemy camp? How many of Cao Cao's soldiers did they kill? If Lao Cao didn't have the amount to accommodate people, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, and Xu Huang among the five good generals might have been ghosts a long time ago!

Liu Bei introduced the people present to Huang Shao, and Huang Shao saluted one by one.

When Tian Fan was introduced, Huang Shao's eyes lit up obviously, and he bowed and said, "Mr. Tian, Shao is polite!" ”

Tian Fan smiled and said: "Huang Shao, don't call me sir, you can call me Boguang, I'll call you...... By the way, do you have words? ”

Huang Shao blushed and said: "Shao was born in a poor family and has no words!" ”

Tian Fan nodded, turned his head to Liu Bei and said, "Lord, since Huang Shao follows the lord, even if the lord is half an elder, why don't the lords give him a word?" ”

Liu Bei patted his head and said, "Oh, it's me who is wrong, I ignored it!" Huang Shao, are you willing? ”

Huang Shao hurriedly said: "Lord, Shao is willing!" ”

Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "Huang Shao was born poor, but he is talented!" Commit to the thief first, and now follow me, it can be regarded as the right path! I'll give you one word, it's called the right way! How is it? ”

Huang Shao hurriedly thanked him, although Liu Bei's word was not very good, but it was Liu Bei! Everyone congratulated Huang Shao on having a word.

Everyone was lively again, and Lu Bu said: "Xuande, since the right path has surrendered, what are you waiting for?" Go face Cao Mengde! ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "We are going to fight, but now our newly occupied land is not stable!" Moreover, Wen Yuan only has 8,000 people in Longkang, if Yuan Highway comes to attack, he may not be able to stop it! ”

Huang Shao hurriedly said: "Lord, if you can trust me, I am willing to take the original men and horses to Longkang to help General Zhang defend the city!" First, you can defend the city, and second, I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes, I still have some weight in the local Yellow Turban Army, after I recruit them, I will go to help General Wenyuan together, so I won't be afraid of Yuan Highway! ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "In this case, I ordered to pack up the rest of the troops on the right way and go to Long Kang to help Wenyuan defend Yuan Highway!" ”

Huang Shao took the order and left! Liu Bei and the others also packed up their troops and rushed to Liang State.
