Chapter 424: Lujiang City
"My lord, we're in a bad place right now."
Yang Hong looked at Yuan Shu with a gloomy face, although he didn't want to believe that Ji Ling was defeated by others and lost tens of thousands of troops, but the facts were in front of him, and the enemy army had already rushed towards Lujiang City, even if Yang Hong didn't believe it, he could only temporarily understand and identify this result.
"Zhang Xun, where is Zhang Xun!"
Yuan Shu, who was relieved from the panic by Yang Hong's reminder, immediately shouted outside the big tent.
The name he called was Zhang Xun, another general who was Yuan Shuyin's right and left hand.
After Yuan Shu became emperor in history, Zhang Xun became Yuan Shu's general, with 200,000 troops in his hands, and he also fought with Lu Bu.
After Ji Ling left with 10,000 soldiers and horses, Zhang Xun was the main general sitting in Lujiang.
With Yuan Shu's several calls, soon a military general wearing armor hurriedly walked in outside the big tent.
Zhang Xun, who has just turned thirty, is in the prime of life, heroic and extraordinary, and has some strength, in Yuan Shu's army, quite prestigious, in addition to Ji Ling, Zhang Xun's strength can be regarded as the top under Yuan Shu.
When Yuan Shu called him, Zhang Xun also quickly came here under the paging of the herald.
As soon as he saw Zhang Xun, Yuan Shu's nervous expression calmed down a little at this time.
"Zhang Xun, you can be regarded as here."
"Lord, why are you in such a hurry to summon me here?"
"You quickly sent someone to contact General Ji Ling, my people received the news that General Ji Ling was defeated by the enemy, you go to find out the situation, if the enemy army really defeated General Ji Ling, I am afraid that we will not be able to hold this Lujiang City."
Yuan Shu is not an arrogant person, he is still very clear about his strength, if it is really as the herald said, the 10,000 army led by Ji Ling was completely wiped out, and the enemy army has not lost many men and horses, then his remaining horses will definitely not be able to stop the enemy's attack.
Instead of continuing to besiege Lujiang City here, it is better to withdraw the army temporarily, because once the enemy army comes over and unites with Lu Kang in the city, his situation will not be very good.
"Yes, my lord, I will do it in the end."
Soon Zhang Xun sent some of his scouts to investigate, but naturally it didn't take long to meet Liu Zheng's army that was slowly rushing to Lujiang City.
When they saw that Liu Zheng's army was less than ten miles away from Lujiang, these scouts immediately retreated and returned to Zhang Xun's camp in Lujiang City, after exploring the implementation situation clearly.
Yuan Shu, who had been waiting for news in the big tent of the Chinese army, finally heard the bad news unwillingly.
"Damn, Ji Ling is bad for me."
"Lord, retreat, if you don't retreat, the enemy will be killed."
At this time, in the big tent, all the capable people under Yuan Shu were gathered, Yan Xiang, Yuan Jian and other strategists were here, but everyone was nervous.
"Retreat, withdraw the troops temporarily, retreat to the city not far from the Lujiang River, and leave like this, I'm not reconciled!"
Yuan Shu ordered a retreat, but the so-called retreat was only a temporary retreat from Lujiang City, retreating to the next city, and the territory that was finally defeated, he didn't want to give it up like this.
As the soldiers and horses on Yuan Shu's side began to evacuate in an orderly manner, Liu Zheng's army also began to silently enter the boundary of Lujiang City.
As soon as Yuan Shu's army left on the front foot, Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses arrived at Lujiang on the back foot.
Lu Kang, who was on the city tower, had already climbed the city tower, and he was looking at the dynamics under the city with a confused face at this time, and he didn't realize why Yuan Shu hurriedly withdrew his troops at this time.
At the same time, seeing the appearance of Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses, he felt a little surprised, and thought that it was the idea of which prince came to fight him Lujiang.
When Lu Jun and Lu Jun appeared at the front of the team, Lu Kang on the city tower reacted.
"Lu Jun, Lu Jun, it's you."
When Lu Kang saw the Lu brothers, he was shocked, and immediately understood that these people were the reinforcements they called over.
"Father. Uncle. ”
The Lu brothers shouted at Lu Kang on the city tower together.
"Uncle, Lujiang is saved, Yuan Shu has been beaten away by us, Lujiang is saved, please open the door."
Lu Jun was the first to speak, and said a word to Lu Kang on the city tower, asking Lu Kang to open the city gate to welcome Liu Zheng's men and horses into the city.
However, Liu Zheng was standing by Lu Jun's side at this time, and whispered to Lu Jun.
"Brother Lu, Yuan Shu's people, it seems that they have withdrawn, I won't go into Lujiang City, I'll take people first, clean up here, and then temporarily set up camp outside the city, and after the people who are sure of Yuan Shu have left, I'll leave."
Liu Zheng is also afraid of Lu Jun, Lu Kang will misunderstand that he is here to attack Lujiang City, so he simply behaves more openly, so that Lu Kang and others will also think highly of Liu Zheng.
At first, Lu Jun was a little hesitant, and he was really worried that Liu Zheng would drive away Yuan Shu and lead people to occupy Lujiang by himself, which would drive away the wolf and attract the tiger.
However, Lu Jun still felt in his heart that Liu Zheng was a good person, and he should not do such a despicable thing.
After hearing Liu Zheng speak at this time, Lu Jun became more relieved about Liu Zheng.
"Hey, Brother Liu, don't you go into the city to see my uncle?"
Lu Jun was relieved of Liu Zheng and invited Liu Zheng to see Lu Kang.
After thinking for a while, Liu Zheng still refused.
"Forget it, if you enter the city at this time, it will inevitably be suspected by Lu Kang Taishou, so I still won't go in."
Liu Zheng thought about it and rejected Lu Jun, although Lu Jun believed in him as a person and would not make a move to attack Lujiang, but Lu Kang and the others might not think so, there was no intersection between them, and the trust was not high, rather than causing trouble to them, Liu Zheng was still willing to stay outside the city temporarily.
Seeing Liu Zheng's insistence, Lu Jun didn't want to continue to say anything, as Lu Kang's city gate opened, Lu Jun and Liu Zheng said goodbye simply, and then led their men and horses into Lujiang City together.
Liu Zheng asked Wen Ping to take his own men and horses to set up a new camp at the location of the camp left by Yuan Shu at the beginning, which temporarily served as his own barracks.
After a long journey, coupled with a battle with Ji Ling's army, in fact, these soldiers and horses under Liu Zheng are already a little tired, and it is time to rest.
At this time, Lu Jun entered Lujiang City and finally met his uncle Lu Kang.
