Ding Yuan saw that Lu Bu had already prepared, and even brought someone to kill him, his face was instantly gloomy, and he said, "Lu Bu, you want to kill your father!" ”

Lu Bu raised his spear and shouted: "Ding Yuan, old thief, I treat you like a father, but you want to harm me!" Today it's not me who kills my father, it's Lu Bu who punishes the thief! Kill! ”

Lu Bu shouted, took the lead, and killed him with a spear.

"Stop him!" Ding Yuan shouted anxiously.

He didn't have many people in ambush, and seeing Lu Bu bring so many people, he was terrified.

Ding Yuan's guards tried their best to block it, but they couldn't stop the brave Lu Bu at all, and it didn't take long for Lu Bu to kill Ding Yuan.

"Old thief, die!" Lu Bu's spear stabbed directly at Ding Yuan.

Ding Yuan looked frightened, and said urgently: "I am the Yangzhou pastor appointed by the imperial court, Lu Bu, you can't kill me!" ”

"You're going to kill me, why can't I kill you!" Lu Bu split the blocking Ding Yuan guards, and the long hair went straight to Ding Yuan's chest.

Ding Yuan retreated in fright and shouted: "If you want to rebel, you can't succeed!" ”

Poof

His voice fell, and Lu Bu's spear pierced his chest.

Ding Yuan's eyes widened, his face was full of horror and stunned, he never thought that Lu Bu would dare to kill him!

Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan, and even cut off his head, carried it in his hand, and shouted at the remaining remnants of Ding Yuan's defeated army: "The old thief is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!" ”

Ding Yuan's people, how dare they resist, and they will die instantly if they resist, and in less than half an hour, Lu Bu took control of Gaoyou.

Gao Shun stood beside Lu Bu and said, "Lord, what now?" ”

Ding Yuan was appointed by the imperial court as a Yangzhou pastor, and he was openly killed, and the imperial court would never give up.

Lu Bu sneered and said, "If you don't do anything, take down the entire Xuzhou!" Everyone listened to my orders, collected Ding Yuan's old thieves and horses, and went north immediately! ”

Xuzhou is roughly divided into three forces, Ding Yuan in Guangling County, Lu Bu who occupies Xiapi, and Tao Qian and others in Langya County.

Now that Ding Yuan is dead, only Lu Bu and Tao Qian remain.

Gao Shun didn't say anything and ordered the whole army.

Lu Bu left Ding Yuan's mansion, turned on his horse, and led Gao Shun and others, first to incorporate Ding Yuan's troops, and then led his troops north.

By the time Huangfu Jianchang, Cheng Yu, Shi A and others arrived, Gaoyou had already changed hands.

In an inconspicuous house, a group of people gathered information, and all of them looked solemn.

Cheng Yu sat opposite Huangfu Jianchang, his tone could not hide his panic, and said: "Second son, this Lu Bu is really the opposite!" ”

Huangfu Jian looked cold and said, "It's not strange that he is against me, but I didn't expect him to be so bold!" ”

Shi A stood beside the two of them and said: "It's useless to say this, now that Lu Bu has sent troops to Langya County, if Tao Envoy Jun can't defend it, the entire Xuzhou will fall into the hands of Lu Bu." Coupled with Dong Zhuo, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

Cheng Yu glanced at him, then calmed his face, and said to Huangfu Jian: "Second son, now you should immediately repair the Great Sima Mansion, ask the Great Sima to transfer troops, and you must stop Lu Bu!" ”

Huangfu Jian's long eyebrows were twisted into Sichuan characters, and he said: "How to transfer troops in the cold winter of Layue?" Besides, where's the tune? The soldiers and horses of Qingzhou cannot move, otherwise the Yellow Turban Army will inevitably resurge. Yanzhou's soldiers and horses had to guard against Dong Zhuo of Chen State and the Black Mountain Army of Jizhou, and Sun Jian of Wu County could be transferred. Lu Bu is a tiger, Sun Jian is a wolf, and I may not be able to move ......"

Cheng Yu frowned, pondered hard, and said, "Then, what about Gongsun Zan of Runan County?" ”

Huangfu Jian glanced at him and said, "My father wrote me a letter asking him to get his permission before I transfer troops. ”

Cheng Yu suddenly understood, and said, "The Emperor must have made other arrangements. Now the top priority is to stop Lu Bu. ”

Huangfu pondered for a long time, but he couldn't find a way.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Shi Ah said, "Hurry up and write a letter." ”

Huangfu Jian Chang reacted abruptly and said, "Yes, yes, I will write a letter to Your Majesty." ”

Shi A saw that Huangfu Jianchang was already flustered, and said with a flat expression: "Write it to Tao Envoy Jun first, and quickly." ”

Cheng Yu followed and came to his senses and said, "Yes." In addition, write a letter to Zhu Yuanjun in Qingzhou to see if you can provide support. On the side of the imperial court, it also has to be written, but the far water can't save the near fire, so it can only be reported. ”

Huangfu Jian Chang had already grabbed his pen and began to write, not one, but five or six letters.

After writing it, he threw it to the guard, and then said to Cheng Yu: "I want to go to Langya County." ”

Cheng Yu looked at him and said, "I suggest that the second son go to Chen Guo." ”

Huangfu was stunned for a long time and said, "Why? ”

Cheng Yu's expression was a little gloomy, and he said: "Second son, I expect that Tao Envoy Jun will not be able to stop Lu Bu, and he must stop Lu Bu from falling to Dong Zhuo!" ”

Huangfu Jian suddenly understood, his heart was awe-inspiring, and he said, "Okay, let's leave now!" ”

Cheng Yu suddenly stretched out his hand, stopped him, and said, "Second son, before leaving, there is one more thing to do." ”

"What's the matter?" Huangfu Jian asked.

Cheng Yu said: "Lu Bu's actions are too vast, it must be difficult to be thoughtful, although we can't stop him, but we can burn his grain and grass and delay time!" ”

boom

Huangfu stood up vigorously and said, "I'll do it!" ”

This kind of thing, Huangfu Jianchang couldn't be more skilled, and immediately summoned a few people and said, "You, go and find out Lu Bu's marching route, especially where the grain and grass are." Go and gather all of our men in Gwangling County! ”

"Yes!" The guards responded and strode away.

Huangfu Jian turned around in a circle, and said to Shi A: "Old Shi, find a way to find out Lu Bu and other rebellious family members, I will send them to Luoyang!" ”

Cheng Yu said: "It's better to kill him directly, for someone like Lu Bu, his family can't threaten him." ”

Shi Ah glanced at him and shook his head secretly.

Huangfu is strong, not the kind of person who kills without taboo, and has his own perseverance in his heart.

Sure enough, Huangfu Jian said: "Then it's better not to kill, it will always make them have scruples, old history, go and do it." ”

Shi Ah nodded, hugged his sword and turned to leave.

Huangfu Jian thought for a long time and said: "In this way, it should be able to delay for some time, and I hope that Tao Envoy Jun will be ready to resist for a while and give the court time to react." ”

Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "Xuzhou has many plains, and there is no danger. The soldiers and horses under Tao Envoy Jun are at most 20,000, and they have to be divided into various places, and one month is the limit. ”

Huangfu Jian thought about it for a long time, and couldn't help but be a little irritable, and said: "Why is this Ding Yuan so useless, he can still be killed after setting up a Hongmen banquet, I really don't know how this state pastor did it!" ”

Cheng Yu couldn't answer.

Since becoming an emperor, the promotion of officials has emphasized reputation over ability, no matter how things are done, as long as the reputation is good, they will be promoted all the way.

This kind of person, up to now, from Luoyang to the entire Han Dynasty, abounds.

Huangfu Jian complained for a long time and said, "Let's go, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time." ”

Cheng Yu followed behind Huangfu Jian and said, "Second son, I think that the troops should be transferred, even if they can't stop Lu Bu, they can also play a deterrent role." ”

Huangfu Jian Chang did not hesitate, and said: "Okay, I have some friendship with Guan Yunchang, and with the talisman given by His Majesty, it is not a big problem." ”

Cheng Yu did not say anything more, deeply shocked by Ding Yuan's death, and worried that the situation would change drastically and unpredictably.

At the same time, Lu Bu, who had incorporated Ding Yuan's soldiers and horses, led an army of 20,000 and went directly north at the fastest speed and pounced on Langya County.

Lu Bu sent his troops too suddenly, and Zang Ba, who was guarding Donghai County, was caught off guard and had to lead his troops to retreat.

Lu Bu chased closely, almost unimpeded along the way, did not encounter any obstacles, and directly entered Langya County and surrounded Kaiyang.

In the backyard of the Kaiyang official office.

Tao Qian was lying on the bed, coughing constantly, with bloodshot at the corners of his mouth, for Zang Ba and Zhao Yu on the side, his expression was quite difficult, and he said: "Originally, I wanted to entrust Xuzhou to Liu Xuande, but it backfired. This Lu Bu is a tiger and wolf, and now he has surrounded Kaiyang and Langya County, I can only entrust it to you. ”

Zang Ba had a fierce look on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Rest assured, with me, I will never let Na Lu Bu enter the city gate half a step!" ”

"Ahem"

Tao Qian coughed violently, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth vigorously, and said: "Originally, I invited Cao Ren to join Langya County, but the Yellow Turban Army on the Beihai side was repeated and had to be withdrawn. Now, we have no reinforcements, and the small soldiers in the city are few and have little food, so we can't stop Na Lu Bu at all......"

Zhao Yu's expression was solemn, and he said: "Envoy, we have 5,000 soldiers in the city, and there are many young and strong people, and it is no problem to hold on for a month!" ”

Tao Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Although I don't know about soldiers, I also know that as long as Lu Bu besieges the city, at most half a month, Kaiyang will be self-defeating." I am the one who is about to die, and I want nothing more than two, to protect some of the people from slaughter. ”

What Lu Bu did the most in Xiapi was to plunder and kill wantonly to supplement money and food, which was extremely bad for his reputation.

Zang Ba said hatefully: "Envoy, the lower officials will definitely be able to defend it!" ”

Tao Qian sighed, looked at Zhao Yu, and said: "Once Langya County is lost, Lu Bu is big, the imperial court will definitely send troops to levy, Xuzhou, the military disaster is even heavier, I don't know how many people will suffer." ”

Zhao Yu is different from Zang Ba, he is a civil official, and his face is a little dignified when he hears this.

In the troubled times, the most miserable thing is undoubtedly the people who have no power to resist, Lu Bubing is in Langya County, and hundreds of people will inevitably die.

Zang Ba was very angry that Tao Qian looked down on him, and he couldn't bear it.

Tao Qian explained a few more words, Zang Ba, and Zhao Yu came out.

The two didn't say anything else and went straight to the castle tower.

Not far from the city gate, Cheng Lian rode a horse, leaned at the knife, and shouted: "Everyone listen, those who descend will not be killed, those who will resist stubbornly, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!" ”

Zang Ba waved his big knife and said coldly: "You Grandpa Zang is waiting!" ”

"Zang Ba, go out of the city and fight!" Cheng Lian pointed directly at Zang Ba.

Zang Ba was unmoved, looking into the distance.

Lu Bu rode a white horse, holding a long hair, taller than everyone else, and was extremely eye-catching.

Zhao Yu's face was gloomy, and he said: "Brother Zang, we will take turns to defend the city, and we must not let Lu Bu break the city!" ”

Zang Ba turned to him and said, "I remember, Brother Zhao has some friendship with that Cao Ren, can you repair a book?" ”

Zhao Yu said: "I don't know where he is now. ”
