Chapter Twenty-Seven: Congratulations to Wen Hou on defeating the enemy
The strategists in the tent were also panicked, they were the strategists under Tao Qian's tent, if they fell into the hands of Lu Bu, the end could be imagined, how Lu Bu treated the betrayed people in the city, they had heard of it.
Seeing Cao Hong take Tao Qian away, several strategists in the tent followed, in such a chaotic situation in the army, if there was no general to lead the soldiers to protect, it was very likely to die.
When Lu Bu led the cavalry to kill, Cao Hong had just protected Tao Qian and the others and left.
"Don't leave Tao Qian, kill Tao Qian's person, reward 50,000 yuan, and the official will be promoted to three levels." Lu Bu shouted.
The cavalry that followed Lu Bu was inexplicably excited, and this kind of reward was too important for the officers and soldiers in the army.
In the shadows, Lu Bu saw a big banner with the word "Tao" fluttering in front of him, and immediately led the cavalry to come.
"Tao Qian Pifu, where to go?" Lu Buyun shouted with all his strength, staring at the team in front of him with blazing eyes.
Seeing that the team in front was a little chaotic, Lu Bu rode his horse to kill.
Cao Hong was shocked, and against the backdrop of the firelight, Lu Bu, who sat down with a halberd in his hand, was invincible.
"Leave a hundred people, block Lu Bu, and Ben will protect the assassin Shi to leave." Cao Hong ordered immediately.
The Chinese army is the soul of an army, even if Cao Hong protects Tao Qian from the army, it is impossible to discard the flag of the Chinese army.
However, Lu Bu arrived too quickly, disrupting all this.
Wang Lang stepped forward and said eagerly: "General Cao, you can order a team of soldiers to leave from the other direction with the banner of the Chinese army, so that the assassin can escape." β
Cao Hong saw that Tao Qian did not object, so he immediately did so.
At the critical moment, it was Wang Lang's suggestion that saved Tao Qian's life.
Lu Bu paid attention to the movement of the banner, and the foot soldiers who stepped forward to block it would be the opponent of the wolf-like cavalry, but in an instant, they were defeated by the cavalry and fled.
"Fooled." Seeing that the one who protected the banner of the Chinese army and left was just a general in the costume of a school captain, Lu Bu said secretly.
"What about Tao Qian's old thief?" Lu Bu asked in a deep voice.
The captain's body kept trembling, "General, the villain doesn't know." β
"Waste." Lu Bu raised his halberd, bringing up a touch of blood, and the captain fell in a pool of blood.
Outside Peng City, shouting and killing all day long, the officials in the city were naturally extra concerned, they wanted to know what the outcome of this battle was, if Tao Qian won the final victory, they could return to Tao Qian's arms, otherwise, maybe their orders would be in the hands of Lu Bu, the devil.
Since Lu Bu's arrival, the Assassin's Mansion has lost its previous harmonious atmosphere, and when facing Lu Bu, they must be as cautious as possible, no one knows what kind of actions this arrogant martial artist will have next.
The defeat was like a mountain, Tao Qian fled, the Chinese army led the cavalry by Lu Bu to break through directly, the Xuzhou army lost the will to resist the last, in the face of the iron cavalry in their own camp, they lost their fighting spirit, scattered and fled, many soldiers simply put down the blade in their hands after hearing the shouts of those who surrendered and did not kill.
The people who followed Tao Qian to crusade against Dong Zhuo were all local soldiers in Xuzhou, and even Pengcheng fell into the hands of Lu Bu, even if they escaped, what could they do, would they fall into the grass and become a coward, no matter what, they are both Han Chinese, even if they are Lu Bu, they will not embarrass them too much.
This night, the officials of Pengcheng could not sleep peacefully, they knew that a battle was breaking out outside the city that was enough to affect the situation in Xuzhou, but at this time, they did not dare to make any changes, and the broken family in the city was the best proof.
Jia Xu, who followed Lu Bu to Xuzhou, was the nightmare of Pengcheng officials, and they gradually learned that it was Jia Xu, the chief bookkeeper who was secretly supervising Pengcheng.
By the time it was light, the battle outside the city had come to an end and ended with a great victory for the cavalry led by Lu Bu.
Groups of captives were taken to makeshift camps outside the city, and around them were soldiers who were sturdy and stubborn.
Tao Qian led the army back to Pengcheng, originally thinking of regaining control of Pengcheng from LΓΌ Bu's hands, but instead of succeeding, he gave LΓΌ Bu more than 5,000 prisoners and a large amount of grain and grass.
When the news came, the officials of Pengcheng were shocked, and Lu Bu once again proved that he was brave and good at fighting with victory, and he must be more cautious when encountering such a military general on the battlefield.
Handed over the matter of the captives to Zhang Liao to deal with, Lu Bu rode his horse back to the city, covered in blood, and the mane of the red rabbit horse was also soaked in blood and condensed into pieces, and the cavalry who followed Lu Bu into the city would not have blood stains on their bodies.
The sound of horses' hooves and the murderous aura that came to their faces shocked the people who were avoiding on both sides of the street.
Assassin Shifu, without Lu Bu's order, important officials in the city have gathered, after they learned of Lu Bu's victory, they eagerly want to make their position clear, no matter what illusions they had about Tao Qian in the past, now Tao Qian is defeated, Tao Qian, who occupies the righteousness, has fled, and Lu Bu's rule in Pengcheng has no one to influence for the time being.
Xuzhou is rich and there is no shortage of families, but now these officials from families dare not come out in front of Lu Bu.
"Congratulations to Wen Hou on defeating the enemy." Chen Deng came out of the ranks.
After the rest of the officials were slightly stunned, they stepped forward to congratulate them.
The battle robe has not been changed, and Lu Bu at this time is like a bloody man, but no one dares to slack off in the slightest.
Lu Bu coughed lightly and said: "If you attack the city where the general is stationed, you must have the consciousness of failure, you are all important officials in Pengcheng, and you don't want the butcher's knife to fall on you in the future, and those who are loyal to the general will not be treated badly." β
The officials in the venue were moved when they heard this, and from Lu Bu's words, they suddenly felt that Lu Bu was not as simple as a general, and after defeating Tao Qian, he had begun to win people's hearts.
"Wen Hou, there are words for humility." Chen Deng arched his hand.
Lu Bu glanced at Chen Deng and said lightly: "Yuanlong has something to say. β
"Wen Hou captured a large number of prisoners in this battle, and if these captives can be allowed to reclaim wasteland, Xuzhou will definitely have more fields." Chen Dengdao.
Lu Bu nodded with a smile, "Yuanlong's words are good, the matter of the field is very important, this matter is assisted by General Li Dian Yuanlong, if these captives are not honest, they will be killed directly, and those who show peace will be restored after three years." β
"Whoa." Chen Deng and Li Dian saluted.
Li Dian understood that this was his first test after taking refuge in Lu Bu, and if he could show his ability in this incident, he would be more appointed in the future.
