Lu Bu galloped on the street with the cavalry, and there were not many people he saw, and the people did not dare to go out.

It stands to reason that there are more than 10,000 defenders in the city, and some of them will not be empty to such an extent, obviously they killed so quickly.

Soon, he had an idea, no wonder Sun Ce had made him wait for a full cup of tea just now, it must have been at that time that they were planning to escape.

At the time of his fight with Sun Ce, there should have been a lot of people escaping from the east gate, although he had arranged sentry horses at the other three gates, but he had been running around the city for too long, and he didn't have time to report at all.

Knowing that he shouldn't have been with him for so long, Lu Bu felt remorseful.

Moreover, a bad premonition arose in their hearts, if they were fully prepared to escape, most of them would go to the north gate in vain.

Sure enough, when I arrived at the north gate, the city gate was more than two zhang wide and three zhang deep, and the city gate was full of rolling stones and sassal wood used to defend the city, and more than a dozen tung oil jars were also piled up, and more than 20 Jiangdong soldiers held torches, with sadness in their eyes.

Lu Bu didn't even want to waste time on them, and after leaving a hundred horsemen, he immediately killed back towards Ximen.

The army came in from the west gate, and now it is possible to rush out only from the west gate, but after such a big circle in the city, most of the time has passed.

But as long as they go out, with the speed of cavalry, they can still catch up with them.

At the west gate, where they first rushed into the city, after clearing the defenders on the city pass, Cheng Lian and Xu Sheng only arranged more than 100 people to take care of them and led people into the city.

Their idea is very simple, rush into the inner city, kill or capture the enemy, after all, the military merit system is based on the first rank or prisoner as a meritorious service, such an idea is understandable, who doesn't want to earn more military merit promotion?

Xu Sheng and Cheng Lian never imagined that not long after they left, more than 200 Jiangdong soldiers would pour out of the houses on both sides.

Huang Gai, who was armed with an iron whip, suddenly killed with Jiangdong's soldiers, with a clear goal, that is, to seize back control of the city gate.

When Lu Bu brought people back, the city gate here was also blocked by Huang Gai, his face was splashed with blood, and there were piles of corpses lying on the ground, including Jiangdong's children and Lu Bujun's.

Seeing that Lu Bu was killed, Huang Gai was not only not afraid, but laughed loudly, "It's too late, my lord has gone away!" ”

Lu Bu, who felt that he had been tricked, flashed a sharp look in his eyes, and rushed forward on his horse.

How could the short weapon Huang Gai hold on foot compete with Lu Bu, who was riding a red rabbit horse and holding a Fang Tian painting halberd? With just one blow, Huang Gai, who had experience in a hundred battles, was shocked and staggered back.

If it weren't for the desperate efforts of the Jiangdong disciples around him who were not afraid of death, he would have had no chance to adjust his body and should have been killed.

Lu Bu's halberd stabbed left and right, sweeping thousands of troops from time to time, but even Lu Fengxian, who was as easy as mowing grass, could not be annihilated in the face of these Jiangdong soldiers who just wanted to delay time.

The cavalry behind him simply jumped off their horses and came over with spears to help in the battle, just to open the city gate as soon as possible to pursue.

At the gate of the city, there were so many corpses that they couldn't even settle down, and Jiangdong still fought to the death.

In the end, only Huang Gai was left, and even the iron whip was picked up by Fang Tian's halberd and flew out, so he turned around and stuck to the city gate, holding the bolt with both hands, and still didn't let go of the blood spit out from the muzzle of several guns in his body.

His thoughts were blurred, his eyes were scattered, and in a trance, Huang Gai saw the scenes of following Sun Jian to kill the enemy in the past.

In front of him, there is a Jiangdong Tiger that makes his brothers believe forever, and there is a robe on his back that can be absolutely assured, although there are countless minor and serious injuries, there are endless laughter.

In the gilded years, the iron horse Jingo, the old man fell into a dream

The corners of Huang Gai's mouth, which was salivating with blood in his mouth, rose with difficulty, "Lord, Gai is here to meet you."

When the city gate was finally opened, Gao Shun also arrived, but it was only more than an hour since the battle from the east gate to this point.

Lu Bu still didn't want to stop, and shouted: "Rush out for me and chase Sun Ce!" ”

For Sun Ce, Lu Bu didn't have any extreme views, if he changed someone, he wouldn't even want to chase after it for so long, but it was the death battle of these Jiangdong soldiers that made him determined not to let Sun Ce leave alive.

Such a person, such a soldier, and today's enemy, if they cannot be cut down and eradicated, they will become a great disaster in the future.

When he saw Huang Gai rushing out at the city gate, Lin Mo, who had been in the Chinese army, guessed their thoughts, but unfortunately only Lu Lingqi and the sergeant of the hundred and tenth guards were left around him.

In addition, Huang Gai moved extremely fast, and closed the city gate in an instant, without giving Lin Mo time to react at all, he could only watch all this happen.

sighed in his heart, all these plans should have been arranged by them during the period when Lu Bu shouted to fight the general, Zhou Yu is still a person who plays with his brains, he made a prediction in such a short time and chose the deployment of a strong man with a broken arm to survive, in the end it was the man who won the battle of Chibi.

"The overall situation has been decided, let's go, go back to the camp." Lin Mo didn't want to stay any longer.

Guangling City had already arrived, but before they completely cleared the Jiangdong soldiers and horses in the city, Lin Mo would not rush into the city.

In fact, every time you conquer a city, you will have a few days for your men to thoroughly investigate the enemy forces in the city to avoid the situation of dead soldiers in ambush.

In addition, Lu Bu also led the cavalry to chase and kill, and when they triumphed, I was afraid that it would be late at night.

Lin Mo, who returned to the camp and was lying on the couch, couldn't relax at all, staring at the dome in a daze.

Whether it is to collect Liu Xun or break Sun Ce, these are all small goals in stages, and it is indeed exciting good news at the moment, but Lin Mo knows in his heart that the achievement of these small goals is in the final analysis for the big goal of a crucial battle with Cao Cao.

Although Xuchang has not yet received information on the mobilization of troops, he knows that this battle should start soon.

Originally, he was still a little tired, and when he thought of these problems, he became more and more sober, and simply got up and prepared to go to the Zhongjun account to make a phased summary.

There is a sheepskin map drawn by Lu Su in the Chinese military tent, which belongs to Xu and Yang.

Lin Mo looked at the sheepskin map and fell into deep thought, as far as the territory is concerned, Lord Yuezhang is enough to compete with Cao Cao, the land of the six counties of Xuzhou, the country of Peiguo in Yuzhou, plus Lujiang and Jiujiang, nine counties.

But this is only theoretical, and it does not really bring benefits to itself, and even because it has just arrived, it has to invest a lot of money.

For example, the flooding of the Lujiang River, such as the restoration plan of Langya and Dongguan counties, has invested a lot of money and manpower.

In terms of troops, it is rumored that Cao Cao has an army of 200,000, but the real elite should not be too many, judging from the route of his troops in the Battle of Wancheng, he does have the ability to gather 150,000 troops in a short period of time.

On Lu Bu's side, 25,000 soldiers were stationed in Jiujiang, Liu Xun's soldiers in Lujiang plus Zheng Bao and Zhang Duo's bandits were said to be 30,000, Pengcheng and Peiguo also stationed almost 20,000 Tuntian troops, and then counting the 10,000 people in Guangling, barely enough to make up the number of 80,000.

In other words, Cao Cao's forces were at least twice as large as his own.

Doubled Lin Mo kneaded his eyebrows, this is not a matter of two people fighting one person, the disparity in number has broken through the upper limit, and it is easy to form a one-sided crush.

Throughout the ages, there have been many battles in which less wins more, and the preconditions are that the opponent floats too much or his head is temporarily removed.

Lin Mo didn't think that Cao Cao, who had the most gorgeous lineup of strategists in the Three Kingdoms during this period, would make too low-level mistakes.

"It would be nice if Jia Xu could come." Lin Mo looked forward to it for a while.

The only hope is foreign aid Yuan Shao.

If he can be dragged until he can rectify the government affairs of the four states and drink the Yellow River, Cao Cao should know the truth that the snipe and the clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman.

However, blind defense is definitely not the best policy, just like this Jiangdong is also holding Cao Cao's idea of encircling Wei to save Zhao, maybe Yuan Shao is still looking forward to Lu Bu and Cao Cao's death, and finally he took the Central Plains with a surprise effort.

Lin Mo took stock of the situation attentively, and Gan Ning walked in with difficulty, "Sir." ”

"Why are you here?" Lin Mo hurriedly helped him sit down.

"I heard that Mr. is back, so I came to ask about the situation on the front line today." Gan Ning scratched his head a little embarrassed.

That's right, after all, today is the battle to capture the city, and unilateral crushing has always been a good time to harvest military achievements, so that a already depressed general can only lie in the camp, there is nothing more worrying than this.

is simply idle, Lin Mo will tell all kinds of today.

Gan Ning's expression was very interesting, and when he heard that Sun Ce had been deceived with more than 2,000 empty jars, he praised Lin Mo's amazing mental skills; When he heard that Lu Bu was fighting Sun Ce, his face was full of regret, and he also wanted to fight the little overlord; In the end, when he heard that Jiangdong had laid out a broken arm to survive in such a short period of time, he greatly admired the soldiers' death.

"Listening to sir, this battle is more exciting than the battles that General Mo has fought in Jiangxia in the past few years." Gan Ning sighed with emotion.

"Don't worry, as I said, I will definitely give you a military merit, and then bear with it, maybe the key to breaking Cao is to be willing to prosper."

In fact, Lin Mo didn't think about how to use the deception plan, and he just took advantage of the situation at the beginning, which can be regarded as burying a hidden line first.

"Thank you, sir." Listening to the first battle of Guangling, his blood was boiling, and when he heard Lin Mo say this, he was even more impatient, and he was eager for Cao Cao to come over quickly, a simple martial artist's thoughts.

Before the army returned to the camp, the two sat in the tent of the Chinese army and chatted, Lin Mo told how he mistook Lu Bu for his father-in-law, and how he inadvertently assisted his father-in-law to take Jiujiang; Gan Ning recalls the eventful years of Yizhou and Jingzhou.

The open-minded chat also slowly eliminated the sense of distance between the two.

Before I knew it, the sky had also darkened, and as soon as I lit the oil lamp, I heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the camp.

My father-in-law is back!

When Lu Bu walked into the Chinese military tent, his cloak was fluttering, and the dark red spots on the armor declared the master's achievements, and he sat on the back of the handsome chair with his right fist and slammed it on the handsome case in annoyance, "Hateful!" Tricked by this kid! ”

"Sun Ce ran away?" Lin Mo looked at Gao Shun, who came in with Lu Bu, and asked.

Gao Shun nodded, "Wen Hou and I each led a team of cavalry to pursue in two lines, and we intercepted and killed many fallen sergeants along the way, but we never saw Sun Ce and others. ”

Lu Bu's face was dark, and he didn't have the slightest joy of succeeding in taking the city, he always felt that letting Sun Ce go today would bring him endless troubles.

It's not wrong to think so, Sun Jian made a name for himself as a soldier in Jiangdong, Sun Ce is so young, but the soldiers under his command are willing to die for him, the heritage of the two generations really cannot be underestimated.

"Now that Cheng Lian and Xu Sheng are cleaning up the hidden dangers in the city, I am going to bring people into the city tomorrow, and tonight's celebration banquet can be arranged?" The mood is not too good, but the celebration banquet of the soldiers cannot be saved.

"Arrangements have been made."

Lin Mo, who was the main bookkeeper, arranged a celebration banquet as a matter of duty, and then turned to the sergeant outside the tent and said, "Order, go to the banquet." ”

"Whoa."

It didn't take long for roast chicken, barbecue and rice wine to be arranged, and the captains also entered the Chinese military tent to have a banquet with Lu Bu.

After being tired all day, everyone was eating meat and drinking wine, venting the happiness in their hearts.

However, this atmosphere seems to have been a little difficult to open because of Lu Bu's suppression.

As the commander of this army, Lu Bu also rose from the bottom, and soon he realized this problem, immediately restrained his displeasure, and prepared to warm up the atmosphere.

"Yunwen, if it weren't for your clever plan, our army wouldn't be able to enter Guangling City, come, I'll toast you." Lu Bu picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.

"Lord Yue's words are serious."

Lin Mo also drank the wine in the glass before he smiled and said, "In fact, if there is no Ziyang's thunderbolt, I have nothing to do." ”

"It's nature."

Lu Bu picked up the wine glass again, but looked at Lin Mo, "So, this first glass of wine is our son-in-law Jing Ziyang." ”

Saying this, Lin Mo felt that his reminder was a little redundant, but the old father-in-law knew it in his heart, this was the Lu family's gratitude to his subordinates, and it was also another time for the soldiers to remember this important identity.

"I don't dare to take credit for my modest efforts." Liu Ye drank with a smile.

Lin Mo found an interesting thing, since Liu Ye followed his old father-in-law, he seemed to be more smiling than when he first met.

"This third cup, our son-in-law respects the brothers who fought in today's bloody battle!"

Lu Bu raised his glass again, and drank it all after saluting everyone, while Lin Mo stood up and saluted everyone, which can be regarded as a matter of dignity and humility.

"Thank you Wenhou, thank you Lord Bookkeeper!"

Several lieutenants laughed in return.

Yes, they didn't call themselves uncle anymore, but the master bookkeeper, which proves that they recognize themselves more and more in their hearts.

A few cups of yellow soup in their stomachs, coupled with Lu Bu's warm-up, soon they entered the state and started the mode of commercial blowing each other, each talking about how many people they killed today, how many prisoners they caught, and what a fierce method.

In the entire Zhongjun tent, it seems that only Gao Shun, who is paralyzed, is indifferent to this, he just eats meat quietly.

"Report!"

In the midst of the staggering, a scout ran in and respectfully presented the bamboo slip in his hand in front of Lu Bu, "Wen Hou, a letter from Jiujiang." ”

Jiujiang?

Isn't Zhang Liao in an emergency?

The noise stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes were attracted by the bamboo slip, and Lu Bu hurriedly opened the letter to check it.

After a moment, he chuckled, "It seems that these 30,000 stones of grain and grass have not been wasted." ”

When everyone didn't know what to do, Lin Mo's pupils suddenly gathered, and he hurriedly asked, "Zhang Xiu promised to vote?" ”

Lu Bu nodded, "This is Zhang Xiu's letter, he took more than 7,000 people under his command to prepare to go down from Nanyang to Geyang, and enter Jiujiang through Anfeng. ”

After speaking, he glanced at the date of payment, "According to the date on the letter, this meeting should have entered Anfeng." ”

"Jia Xu is also coming?"

"Yes."

"Wow!" After getting a definite answer, Lin Mo's right fist slammed into his left palm.

The poisoner Jia Xu came, and there was finally a ceiling-level strategist in his camp, and Lin Mo's confidence in the future battle was greatly increased.

Lu Bu just smiled slightly, he knew that Jia Xu was a person with a lot of ideas, but in his heart, no one in the world could compare to his son-in-law.

"According to the number of days, there are only three letters left in Jiujiang, and Changshan has not replied so far." Before you know it, eight months have passed.

"It's okay, it's done, it's a big deal, my father-in-law will write it again, and it won't take much trouble to write a letter." Lin Mo smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

Of course, it's good that Zhao Yun can come, but he is not Zhang Xiu, there seems to be nothing to attract, this kind of thing can only rely on fate.

Jia Xu can come, this is already great news for Lin Mo, people can't pursue things beyond their control.

However, in the end, this incident made Lin Mo very encouraged, and he suddenly became full of enthusiasm.

Guangling City has fallen, and there should be a month or two of finishing work in the future, rectifying the soldiers and horses, adjusting taxes, managing household registration, and appeasing the powerful family.

Obviously, it is impossible for him to spend so long here, and he must immediately rush back to Pengcheng to prepare for the next big battle.

In addition to these, he had to do something to make Lu Bu earn enough reputation, and he also had to go back to Pengcheng.

(At the beginning of the month, I asked for a monthly pass, although only two were updated today, but there are 9,000 words together, and I ask the uncles to appreciate the monthly ticket)
