Jiangbian Du Yuan go back! After. According to Liu Bei's instructions, Gu immediately wrote a book. The small faction of henchmen went out of the city and sent them to Xu Huang's camp.

The day passed quickly. On the evening of the second day, Du Yuan led more than a dozen henchmen to the north gate. The defenders also recognized Du Yuan, and when he arrived, he greeted politely and asked, "What is General Du doing here?" ”

Du Yuan glanced at the soldier and said, "On the orders of the lord, I will take over the position of the guard of the North City Gate!" ”

When the soldier heard this, his eyes shrank, and he hurriedly said: "There are already people guarding the north gate, can General Du have the lord's order?" ”

Du Yuan shook his head and said, "The lord ordered this matter, and he did not grant the talisman. ”

When the soldier heard this, he replied: "Since there is no order from the lord, I can't listen to General Du's order." ”

When Du Yuan heard this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he shouted: "Who are you who dare to disobey military orders?" ”

The soldier arched his hand and replied: "In Xiayuan, he was the guard of the North Gate, but now it is a long song." ”

When Du Yuan heard this, he was puzzled: "It turned out to be the guard of the North Gate?" So who is the North Gate keeper now? Speaking of the back, Du Yuan asked loudly.

The former North Gate guard sneered when he heard it. Just as Du Yuan was about to ask again, a person came out next to him, it was Gong Du, who had only entered the city yesterday. shouted loudly: "Du Yuan, the lord knew that you had different intentions, and sure enough, the lord expected it, all the soldiers, take down Du Yuan!" ”

Du Yuan was puzzled when he heard this, and the net was about to explain, but the Qu Chang who had just spoken to him had already made a move. The spear in his hand stabbed straight at Du Yuan. Du Yuan was helpless, and pulled out his waist knife and headed towards the spear frame that was stabbed by the long stab. Du Yuan's martial arts here are not bad, and he can respond quickly and parry, but the dozens of henchmen he brought are not so good at martial arts, and the defenders of the north gate suddenly attacked, and the number of Du Yuan's henchmen is not many. Caught off guard, half of them were cut down to the ground by the defenders.

Du Yuan blocked a few moves, but he didn't dare to resist. But seeing that all the defenders were dead hands, most of his henchmen fell in pools of blood, and there was no mercy between them. A knife hacked to death the Qu Chang who had been pestering him, and the blood splashed on his face made Du Yuan's face even more hideous, and then flew towards Gong Du, and Du Yuan naturally understood the truth of capturing the thief and capturing the king first.

Seeing Du Yuan rushing over, how could Gong Du be afraid of him, and greeted him with a short knife, Gong Du's martial arts and Du Yuan were also between them, the two of them were holding short knives, and Ding Ding "fought for more than ten rounds, and they also shared the victory. But in this short period of time, all the people brought by Du Yuan have fallen in a pool of blood. But when they died, they didn't understand why their robes had killed him. They just knew that they had to follow Du Yuan to make great contributions. How do you know that you died at the hands of your companions instead of making meritorious contributions?

After all the people brought by Du Yuan were killed. The defenders immediately surrounded Du Yuan. Gong Du swung his knife against Du Yuan's slash, and the defenders next to him saw the rare opportunity and immediately rushed forward. The swords, guns, swords, and halberds all moved together, all of which were pressed against Du Yuan's throat and neck.

Seeing that Du Yuan no longer dared to act rashly, Gong Du laughed, knocked the short knife in Du Yuan's hand away with a knife, and scolded: "Traitor, can you be guilty?" ”

Du Yuan glared at him and said loudly: "A certain person is doing things for the lord, what a crime!" ”

Gong Du snorted coldly and scolded: "Refuse to admit it when you are dying? After a pause, he said, "Okay, let you die convinced." After speaking, he took out a letter from his arms, unfolded it and handed it to Du Yuan, and said, "Traitor, do you see for yourself whether this is a letter of surrender to the enemy written by you?" ”

Du Yuan heard it, looked at it fixedly, and saw that it was the letter he had written, so he nodded and said, "Yes, this is,"

Gong Du didn't let Du Yuan finish speaking, so he snorted angrily. interrupted: "Since you admit it, let's die!" After speaking, he stabbed Du Yuan in the chest.

Du Yuan was now restrained by a group of defenders, and he couldn't move at all, and the tip of the short knife in Gong Du's hand stabbed straight into Du Yuan's chest.

With a glare, Du Yuan looked at Gong Du's murderous appearance, but when he was dying, Du Yuan was very blessed, and figured out the key, the corners of his mouth pulled, revealing his white teeth, and said hatefully: "Okay!" So ruthless! After speaking, he showed a solemn smile to Gong Du, and said: "Lao Tzu is down first" Wait, wait for you, for a while, for a while, you will be you" Ha,, haha" After laughing twice, the laughter stopped abruptly.

Gong pulled out the blood-stained short knife, looked at Du Yuan, who had fallen to the ground and was already dead anymore, smacked lightly, and scolded: "Lao Tzu Fu has a great life, only you, a traitor, will die, what!" After speaking, he kicked Du Yuan's corpse a few times.

Soon after the net kicked, he heard a commotion at the city gate, Gong Du frowned, and scolded: "What's the noise? ”

At this time, a soldier rushed to Gong Du's side. Report: "Report to the general, a large number of enemy troops are preparing to attack the city outside the city gate! ”

Gong Du heard this, kicked the soldier's leg, and scolded: "Why are you still stunned here, don't go to the city to defend!" When the soldier heard this, he turned around and muttered a few curses, and immediately rushed to the city.

Gong Du snorted lightly, and led the soldiers to follow to the city. On the Internet, I saw that the city was full of hay, and there was an urn of things, and at the same time, there was a stimulating smell of fire oil on the hay. Seeing this, Gong Du was very puzzled, and hurriedly grabbed a soldier and asked, "Why is there hay and fire oil everywhere here?" ”

The soldier replied, "This is sent by the lord in the afternoon." ”

After Gong Du listened, his heart sank, he had just been arranging to kill Du Yuan under the city wall, "I can't see the situation in the city, but now I can see the situation in the city, but I remember Du Yuan's words."

This thought arose, and suddenly I saw the fire flickering on a section of the city wall next to it, and soon, in just a dozen breaths, the fire spread, and suddenly the entire section of the city wall became a fire to the sky. Seeing that the situation was not good, Gong Du immediately rushed to the stone staircase.

The net rushed to the edge of the stone staircase and saw a large number of rockets shooting from the city towards the Beicheng District, and in an instant, the entire Beicheng District was ignited by the fire at once, and it was obvious that the wooden houses in the Beicheng District were drenched with fire oil.

Gong Du didn't know what was going on at this time, so he was really a fool, and scolded loudly: "Despicable Liu Bei, it turns out that you have always distrusted us. I thought we were from the Yuan family, and Brother Liu fought for you in vain and died! Come, open the gates! ”

Although Gong Du's words were shouted, none of the soldiers obeyed the order, and they all looked at him coldly. Gong Du's face changed, knowing that these soldiers were loyal to Liu Bei, and hurriedly shouted: "Look! The fire is about to burn, and the entire Beicheng District is in flames, and escaping into the city is a dead end. Only open the gates

The soldiers listened to Gong Du's words and were a little hesitant. At this time, a soldier shouted loudly: "The lord has an order, he would rather die than open the city gate, and those who intend to open the city gate are thieves, and the soldiers will kill him!" After saying that, he pounced with a short knife in his hand, and in addition to this soldier, there were also five soldiers who pounced together.

These soldiers made a move, and the rest of the soldiers also followed, rushing towards Gong Du. Gong Du's face changed. Swinging his knife at the soldier's chest. It's just that the short knife hasn't been cut yet, and the five soldiers who pounced first blocked in front of such a soldier together, holding Gong Du's knife with their weapons.

Gong Du's eyes shook, and he said in surprise: "White-eared elite soldiers? ”

The white-eared soldier who spoke first snorted lightly and shouted, "Kill! Six white-eared elite soldiers pounced together and formed a small formation to besiege Gongdu. Gong Du saw it, and he fought with a knife, but the rest of the soldiers couldn't help, and he saw that the fire was about to burn. Immediately rushed to the city, but the entire Beicheng District was on fire, and it was about to spread around, and in response to what Gong Du said, the only way to survive was to open the city gate.

Gong Du in the city was stabbed twice in the arm, but he also cut down a white-eared elite soldier, and when he saw the fire gradually approaching, he hurriedly shouted: "Stop, the fire is about to burn, don't you really want to die together?" ”

He shouted for the white-eared soldier: "We have already made the will to die, but I want to be loyal to the Lord and kill!" After speaking, he immediately stepped forward and entangled Gong Du.

Outside the north city gate, the Huangfu Mansion saw the city dagger on fire, and laughed: "This Du Yuan is really not wrong, he really descended, and retreat first, wait for the city gate to open before killing in!" ”

However, with the fire in the entire Beicheng District and the entire section of the city wall bathed in fire, the Huangfu Mansion saw something bad. At this time, a junior colonel rode a horse to the Huangfu Mansion and said, "The subordinates of the general reported that they saw Liu Bei's army coming out of the city from the south gate and looking southwest. "The Imperial Mansion hears you. Lost his voice and said, "Not good." Mr. Gongtai is not there. Hit the big-eared thief's plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain! Du Yuan's surrender letter is fake! ”

The junior colonel heard this and hurriedly asked, "General, what should I do now?" ”

The Huangfu Mansion heard it and said in a condensed voice: "Chase!" Our army is 5,000 elite Qiang Hu cavalry, and Liu Bei is a foot soldier, and he will definitely not be able to outrun the war horse. ”

Before the order of the Imperial Mansion was issued, a loud "creaking" sound was heard at the gate of the city, and a junior colonel rushed to the side of the Imperial Mansion and asked, "General, the city gate is open, are we going to kill it?" After saying that, he looked at the fire with some fear.

The Emperor Mansion snorted angrily, whipped the head of the junior colonel, and scolded: "This is the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, chase the enemy army quickly!" After speaking, he took the lead and led five thousand elite Qianghu cavalry to chase to the southwest. The horses galloped. Huangfu Di secretly blamed himself in his heart: "In vain, General Xu trusted me so much, and asked me to lead 5,000 elites to intercept Liu Bei here, but now I have fallen into the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." After speaking, the horsewhip in his hand slammed down the buttocks of the war horse. Let the horses speed up the pursuit.

There are still obvious traces on the road that the army has walked, and the Huangfu Mansion led 5,000 Qianghu cavalry to chase along the traces. Liu Beijun took the main road at the beginning, and the headquarters of the Huangfu Mansion was cavalry. Walking on the road is very fast, but after chasing about half a clock, I saw that the traces on the original road were gone, and the traces turned to the mountain road.

The face of the Imperial Mansion changed, and the war horse was stopped at once. The Qianghu cavalry was also well-trained and stopped. The Huangfu Mansion immediately sent scouts to inquire about the news, and now Liu Beijun is three miles ahead. However, all the roads taken were mountain roads, and the cavalry could not catch up at all. After hearing this, the Huangfu Mansion scolded: "The despicable and cunning big-eared thief, as Mr. Gongtai said, is especially good at running for his life!" ”

When the Huangfu Mansion was at a loss, I don't know whether to dismount to pursue or detour, a small colonel came to report: "Report to the general, there is an army of about 3,000 people in the back to the front of the ancient city, under the banner of Xiahou. ”

The Huangfu Mansion heard this, thought about it, and said in surprise: "Xiahou? Could it be Cao Mengde's people? ”

After the Emperor Mansion finished speaking, another little colonel rushed to the Emperor Mansion and said, "Report to the general." Xiahou Yuan, the general of Zhengdong, wanted to see the general. ”

The Huangfu Mansion heard it and said, "Okay! Lead the way. Then he ordered loudly: "Dajun Yuan."

The little colonel led the Imperial Mansion to the rear. Over there, Xiahou Yuan and Zhu Ling had already arrived, and after the three of them exchanged a few words, Xiahou Yuan asked, "General Huangfu, where did Liu Bei go?" ”

Huangfu Di shook his head and said, "Di is incompetent, and he fell for the big-eared thief's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. After sending troops to chase after him, he fled to the small mountains, and our army was all cavalry, but they couldn't go up the mountain. ”

Xiahou Yuan heard this, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, how much ability Liu Bei had He Xiahou Yuan didn't know, seeing that the Huangfu Mansion would actually fall for Liu Bei's plan, he naturally disdained it, and at the same time, a trace of doubt also rose, it stands to reason that Chen Gong should not be able to win Liu Bei's plan. But on the surface, he said with a smile: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and the big-eared thief is as cunning as a fox, so General Huangfu doesn't have to blame himself." Cao Sikong and the general of the cavalry are allies, this time since the two families sent troops together to destroy the rebel Liu Bei for His Majesty, General Huangfu's department is cavalry can not go up the mountain, if Yuan leads the headquarters up the mountain to pursue Liu Bei, General Huangfu leads troops to detour to the front to intercept. Don't let Liu Bei escape into Jingzhou! ”

Huangfu Di nodded when he heard this, and said: "What General Xiahou said is reasonable, with you and I leading the troops to pursue behind, and in front of Mr. Gongtai and General Xu, they set up a net of heaven and earth, this time Liu Da'er will not escape!" ”

Xiahou Yuan heard what the Huangfu Mansion said, and only then did he know that Chen Gong and Xu Huang had other arrangements, and the contempt for Zhang Xiujun in his heart immediately put away a lot, but he still felt deep disdain for the Huangfu Mansion, and he still bowed his hand politely on the surface. said: "What General Huangfu said is reasonable, since this is the case, you and I will pursue separately, and we must kill Liu Bei!" ”

Huangfu Mansion answered, and after saying goodbye to Xiahou Yuan and Zhu Ling, he immediately returned to the front and led 5,000 Qiang Hu cavalry along the road to Jingzhou in the southwest, hoping to intercept Liu Bei from the front.

Over there, Xiahou Yuan looked at the back of Huangfu who was far away, and said disdainfully: "It's not a child of a family who became a general under Zhang Xiu because of his father's prestige, it seems that Zhang Xiu's so-called meritocracy is also in vain." After speaking, he and Zhu Ling turned around and rode back to the army, leading an army of 4,000 along the mountain road to pursue Liu Bei.
