Lu Bu and Pang Yuan led the army to Xiangyi, and the local officials here naturally welcomed them, but now they have tied up Lu Bu's chariot, and it is not easy to get down, so they can only pray that Lu Bu can continue to move from victory to victory, so that their future and family business seem to be more secure.

followed Lu Bu, as well as Lu Bu's fans, although in their opinion, attacking Liang was more appropriate than a war, but an armed parade, who in Liang dared to stand in the way of Lu Bu? Unless Cao Cao's army went north, there was always a very relaxed atmosphere in Xiangyi City, which did not look like the current situation of the Great War.

Lu Bu stayed in the city for two days, and Pang Yuan only slightly adjusted the personnel structure in the city, and then left Cao Xing to sit in Xiangyi, and issued a large number of tasks in Xiangyi, so that the Yiren were scattered to Liang State, and even Peiguo, Chen County, Jiyin and Qian County to investigate and pre-jing, this kind of task was easy and pleasant.

After stabilizing the back road, Lu Bu couldn't wait to lead his army to rush to Ningling of Liang State.

A day later, on the sunny day after the remnant snow, Lu Bu's 30,000 cavalry stood outside Ningling City, only to see the flags on Ningling City, and the soldiers could be seen running back and forth on the city wall, and the city gate was naturally closed.

Pang Yuan looked at the flags in the city, and suddenly smiled and said to Lu Bu beside him: "General." I'm afraid I don't have to fight today. ”

Lu Bu looked at the chaos in the city and pouted: "But why?" Did the military advisors see that these generals were unusable? ”

"Naturally not, no matter how unusable the generals are, they can fight, but if they are unusable officials, no matter how strong the generals are, they can only cry out in vain! Hehe. ”

Pang Yuan smiled and pointed in the direction of the city wall, Lu Bu looked at it carefully for a while, but he still didn't quite understand what Pang Yuan wanted to say, how did he see that the chief officials in the city didn't want to fight? This is obviously a posture that wants to resist!

"I don't understand, please ask the military advisor to solve the puzzle 1

"General, look at that flag1

"Flags? It's the Han military flag with a red dragon on a black background, what's the matter? Problematic with this? ”

"The banner of Youai is the military flag of the Han Dynasty, which means that the people in the city think that they are the Hanchen of the Han Dynasty, not the retainers of any prince, so there is no banner of the princes, and there is no banner of the chief officer, only the military flag of the Han Dynasty, which means that there is no one here to call the shots, and it is not anyone's territory, doesn't this mean that they don't want to fight?"

Pang Yuan explained with a smile. Lu Bu suddenly realized that this was the case. These guys are really cautious, if they don't notice for a while, they will definitely wave their troops and attack, and then these people will not be bored with themselves.

"These people" Lu Bu shook his head helplessly.

"Hehe, if the general ignores the onslaught, these people will probably surrender immediately, and then say that it is to protect the integrity of the people of a city, and if there is any recurrence in the future, it will be said that it is due to the general's force. If the general has been in power, they say that they have already had the intention of surrendering, and that's it, and it is just a policy of self-preservation, which is human nature, and the general does not need to be harsh.1

Lu Bu nodded: "So what now?" Salute before soldiers? ”

"Yes, we are the king. Naturally, we should uphold the righteousness and salute first and then soldier1

So, Lu Bu sent an envoy to the city with a banner.

"Who is in the city, why don't you open the city gate to welcome the king? When you knock on the angels, but the four doors are closed as if you are facing a great enemy, do you want to rebel? ”

"Who is under the city, why don't you identify yourself!? We are subjects of the Han Dynasty, how can we rebel? ”

"Look at the banner behind me, this is the banner of the Governor of the Northern Governor of the Great Han Dynasty, the temporary commander of Chenliu County, and the general of the Southern Expedition, Lord Lu Bu. Now Lord Lu Bu came with the edict of the Son of Heaven to reprimand Er and other rebel ministers, and he did not quickly open the city gate to welcome Wang Shi1

The Son of Heaven in the mouth of this envoy is naturally Liu Xie of Jinyang, and the officials and squires in the city are all looking at each other, these two sons of heaven, who should they go to see? It is estimated that no one is willing to deal with them, besides, Cao Cao is the Liang Guoxiang appointed by the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, and it seems that he and the others should go to see Cao Cao.

It's just that now the army is under the city, if you refuse to obey, I'm afraid you will be burned!

A group of people muttered and discussed, since everyone said so, as Hanchen, you can't help but open the door, otherwise wouldn't you rebel!

So, a group of people rushed down the city gate building after me, and soon opened the gate, and withdrew all the soldiers and generals in the city, and stood outside the city gate, not even bringing weapons, which is really interesting!

Pang Yuan looked at Lu Bu with a smile, Lu Bu gave Pang Yuan a thumbs up, and sure enough, he surrendered so readily, and it was very thorough.

These local officials and gentry welcomed Lü Bu's royal division into the city, listened to Lü Bu's edict and reprimanded, and blamed themselves one after another, saying that they immediately submitted a plea, and Lü Bu was very satisfied.

arrived, in the evening, this group of people feasted on Wang Shi, and I don't know where these people heard that Lu Bu likes beautiful women and goods, and after they were all unwilling, Lu Bu also followed Pang Yuan's suggestion, took all the orders, and then left a part to send back to Jinyang to the Son of Heaven, and the rest was distributed to his subordinates.

Lu Bu likes money, but he is not greedy for money for himself, Lu Bu likes beautiful women, but it is useless to have too many beauties, just taste fresh occasionally, if it weren't for those who are absolutely seldy in the world, Lu Bu will reward his subordinates, if it is really a selve, even if Lu Bu gives it to his subordinates, his subordinates will not dare or will want it.

At the same time, Yuan Shu's troops went down to Zhezhe County, the last lonely city of Chen County, and looked at Yan County of Liang State from afar, but Yuan Shu was very restrained and did not make further moves, but gathered heavy troops in the direction of Wuping to put pressure on Cao Cao.

On the one hand, Cao Cao gathered troops in Qian County to guard against Yuan Shu, but on the other hand, he ordered Li Dian, a general who had just surrendered, to lead his army east into Xiang County, intending to plot against Dangxian County of Liang State.

According to Lu Bu's meaning, there is no need to waste time in Ningling at all, he should seize the time to capture Yongyang, and then take Dangxian to cut off Cao Cao's intention to go north, and even take advantage of the opportunity of Cao Cao's army center in Huainan to threaten Qian County in the south, and even directly take Xiangxian County for active defense.

As for Yuan Shu who was watching on the other side, if he had the courage to do it a long time ago, from the west to the south of Chenliu County, Yuan Shu was already a heavy soldier, and Lu Bu really felt that Yuan Shu was bluffing.

However, Pang Yuan asked Lu Bu to fight steadily, now he is not only concerned about fighting the world but also about business, if the territory he won is lost immediately, then what is the point of fighting down? If the method of raising war is purely adopted, Lu Bu will become the enemy of the Central Plains and even the entire Han Dynasty, and Lu Bu is now under the banner of the king's master, how can he do that kind of thing.

Therefore, Pang Yuan needs time to rectify Ningling, even if he will not immediately move the officials of Ningling, but there is still a means to mix sand into it, and at the same time pull and fight, two days is already very hasty.

As for Cao Cao, Pang Yuan thinks that he is also bluffing, even if he takes the initiative to attack Dangxian? Can he defend it after fighting, the key is that Cao Cao's large army is still in Huainan, and the newly recruited soldiers are still training, and the fastest ones that can come in handy are probably those Inhuman troops who have just thrown themselves from Runan to Cao Cao, but these troops also need to be trained, so Pang Yuan is not in a hurry.

But Pang Yuan didn't do nothing, but mobilized Ningling's clans and officials, wrote letters to relatives and friends in Yongyang, and first sent an envoy to Yongyang to persuade him to surrender, fundamentally speaking, Yongyang is the same as Ningling, they actually have no need to resist Lu Bu's army, although nominally they are Cao Cao's subordinates, but at this time, who has soldiers has the final say.

And Lu Bu also has the edict of the Son of Heaven in his hand, if these people don't obey, they will inevitably be condemned as rebels and thieves, don't talk about official positions at that time, I'm afraid even the family will be implicated, this pressure is enough to make the officials and clans of Yongyang think twice!

November 21 of the second year of Guangxi, the first year of Yonghan.

Lü Bu garrisoned Yongyang City, and after a round of negotiations, Yongyang Kaicheng changed banners, and Liang State became Lü Bu's territory from this day on, and swore allegiance to the Son of Heaven in Jinyang.

Five days later, Lü Bu's army captured Dangxian.

The county order of Dangxian seems to want to be famous, so he insists on not surrendering, standing at the head of the city with a sword and scolding Lu Buchen, clamoring to live and die with Dangxian, but it is good to have ambition, and it is also good to have a festival, but everything is in vain if you don't have the ability, in addition to becoming a laughing stock, this county order has also gained the name of a traitor, as well as the punishment of the three clans!

In fact, Lu Bu only attacked with cavalry cavalry, and the defenders on the wall directly killed the county order and surrendered, and before Lu Bu's own bows and arrows could come in handy, the battle was already over.

At the same time, Yan County took the initiative to change banners and sent someone to send a petition form, and at this point, the battle of Liang State was over.

From November 8 to November 26, the six counties of Liang were swallowed by Lu Bu in eighteen days, but it is difficult to say whether they can stand up, after all, they are all around, although the capture of Liang is a little too easy, but the challenge that follows has just begun.

What made Pang Yuan and Lu Bu even more troublesome was that the ensuing challenges did not appear around the Liang Kingdom, but in the places they least wanted to see.

Just when Lu Bu was happily drinking and playing in Yongyang, an inconspicuous news was ignored by them, that is, the Iron Army suddenly disappeared from Changping City, the city of Chenjun they occupied, and Changping became an ownerless city overnight, so that Yuan Shu, who was painstakingly trying to surround Changping, stepped into the void, as for where they went, no one knew.

But there are already many people looking forward to it, every time the Iron Army mysteriously disappears, it means that they will reappear shiningly!
