Chapter 516: Entering the City
After a while, Cheng Hu, who had come to his senses, hurriedly ordered the archers to put away the guy in his hand and aim his arrow at the general who was facing the right, which was also very disrespectful.
The soldiers let down their guard, Cheng Hu saluted respectfully to Lu Bu, and said on thin ice: "Wenhou, aren't you in Chang'an, why did you come to Hanzhong?" ”
Lu Bu looked up at Cheng Hu and said in an indifferent tone: "What am I doing here, do I need to report to you in advance?" ”
Cheng Hu's heart trembled, how could he still have half a heart to refute, and hurriedly admitted his mistake and said: "Don't dare to be humble." ”
"Quickly open the city gate with me, and General Ben will enter the city to rest!" Lu Bu's tone was extremely domineering.
Cheng Hu was beating a drum in his heart, his face was full of embarrassment, and his expression was hesitant: "Wen Hou, when the county guard left, he ordered a humble position, and no one was allowed to enter the city......"
"You're going to stop me?"
Lu Bu's brows gathered, and his eyes were cold again.
It stands to reason that since the imperial court is the greatest, but Cheng Hu is a general who Su Gu has raised with one hand, and Su Gu's order is, to a certain extent, higher than the Son of Heaven's holy words.
What's more, Lu Bu climbed mountains and waded through rivers and smuggled in with a large number of soldiers and horses, and nine out of ten were not good.
Without knowing their intentions, they were categorically not allowed to enter the city, so as not to cause trouble.
Cheng Hu gritted his teeth and punched Lu Bu: "Wenhou, I'm sorry!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a 'boom' broke through the air, and a cold light shot out from the side, its momentum was like lightning, and it was as fast as thunder.
Phew!
The sharp arrow cluster pierced Cheng Hu's head, and before the defender of the Nanzheng North City Gate could react, he fell down in response, his eyes widened, and he stared at the blue sky and white clouds above in a daze, and he didn't bat at the eye.
The soldiers looked in the direction from which the arrows were fired, and in a very inconspicuous position on the left side of the wall, two soldiers showed their figures.
One of them had a long axe in his hand, and his body was very strong; The other was wearing a mask, so he couldn't see clearly, and he wasn't very tall, but he held a stiff bow with ox tendon in his hand, and he thought that this person was the one who came to guard him.
Pan Feng twisted his neck twice, tore off the scarf on his head, revealing a hideous and bloodthirsty face, and shouted loudly: "Everyone who knows each other will put down the drawbridge for Lao Tzu and open the city gate." Otherwise, you will wait - kill them all! ”
Pan Feng's momentum was full, and he had a big axe in his hand, and the whole person was like a bottle of evil spirit, so intimidating that the city soldiers didn't dare to move forward for a while.
"Brothers, open the door, hungry like the brothers of Cangling Pass, Wen Hou came this time, just to arrest Su Gu."
"Su Gu disobeyed the king's orders and rebelled against the court, this is the crime of beheading, don't be foolish and help the thief!"
"Open the gates of the city!"
The soldiers of Cangling Pass loudly persuaded them to surrender in the Chinese dialect below.
As soon as Cheng Hu died, the soldiers in the city had already lost their proportions, and the people under the city were the famous Wenhou Lu Bu, and now the Cangling Pass soldiers persuaded him again, and the soldiers at the head of the city immediately put down their weapons and opened the city to welcome Lu Bu into the city.
The drawbridge was lowered and the gates opened.
Lu Bu led the soldiers behind him into the city slowly, perhaps he didn't expect that he would take the central base camp of Hanzhong County so easily, Nanzheng.
If Su Gu stayed in the city, Lu Bu would have to spend a lot of effort if he wanted to enter Zhanan Zheng, but fortunately, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu contained Su Gu in Hanshui.
Liu Yan's move can be regarded as indirectly helping himself.
In the county town, Lu Bu led his army into the city, which attracted the attention of the people in the city.
On the road, the people all avoided both sides and took the initiative to make way for this army, and there were many onlookers who came to watch.
"Is it Su Junshou who has returned victorious?"
"It doesn't seem like so, we don't seem to have seen this team in the county."
"Could it be that Bashu's army entered the city?"
“…………”
"Die'er, look at the general on the red horse, so powerful!"
"Miss, you shouldn't have a crush on someone, right?"
"You little prodigal hoof, what are you talking nonsense without shame!" The beautiful girl in the crowd blushed and gently picked up the maidservant.
"Ah, miss, are you blushing? I'll go back and tell the master of the house that you've fallen in love with this general! ”
"Let you talk nonsense, see how I teach you!" As she spoke, the girl tickled the maid.
The maid named 'Die'er' couldn't stand the itch, and begged for mercy while laughing: "Miss spare your life, spare your life, Die'er knows that she is wrong." ”
Lu Bu didn't notice the fight between the master and servant, Chen Gong, who was following him, stroked his short beard, glanced at the people in the city, and said: "General, there are constant wars in various parts of the Central Plains, and it seems that the Hanzhong area has not been affected too much, and it is still the same as before, calm and peaceful. ”
Lu Bu, who was riding on the back of Chi Su, nodded, and Hanzhong was able to be stable, mainly depending on his unique geographical location. Whether it is from the South Yue Daba Mountain, or from the north through the Qinling Mountains, it is not easy to enter Hanzhong. As long as there is no civil strife, there will be basically no smoke of war here.
Lu Bu ordered Pan Feng, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Chen Wei to each lead 500 people to guard the four city walls in the east, west, south, and north, and asked Cao Xing, Ma Zhong, Pang De, and Ma Chao to lead the remaining soldiers to clear the troops in the city and unload their weapons.
If there is a resistant, there will be no mercy!
Lu Bu went to the county guard's mansion, and the chief of the county government came out and bowed to greet him: "Shi Xueqi, the magistrate of Hanzhong, meet Wenhou." ”
Xue Qi is over forty years old this year, wearing a silk Changshi official uniform, with a relatively kind face, with a bit of ability.
Lu Bu followed him into the county government, and after sitting down, this usually vigorous and resolute long history was cautious, and without Lu Bu's consent, he didn't dare to sit down rashly, and stood honestly at the bottom of the hall, listening to the question.
As soon as the soldiers sent by Cheng Hu to ask for help arrived, another soldier came to report that Lu Bu had led the army into the city.
Xue Qi heard this, and before he had time to mobilize his troops and horses, he couldn't help but sigh: "Such a fast move, worthy of Wen Hou, who is famous all over the world for his bravery." ”
Then, he asked the soldiers to retreat, led the big and small adjutants in the mansion, and took the initiative to go out of the mansion to greet them.
"General Ben has come here thousands of miles away, do you know what is going on?" Lu Bu, who was sitting in the middle of the county guard, looked at Xue Qi and asked.
Xue Qi thought about it, guessed a rough idea in his heart, but pretended not to know anything on his face, and replied: "The lower officials don't know, please show Wen Hou." ”
"Some time ago, the imperial court summoned Su Gu to the court, and he said that he was sick and couldn't go, do you know?"
Xue Qi said 'sure enough' in his heart, he also learned about this matter by accident, and Su Gu did not discuss it with him at that time.
Now if you want to protect the Xue family, you must make a break with the Su family.
"I don't know." Xue Qi replied decisively.
"Then there is General Lao Changshi to investigate for General Ben, and all those who have conspired with Su Gu in this matter will be taken down and questioned."
Lu Bu stared at Xue Qi for a moment, and seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, he handed over the matter to him. Then, he added: "Also, arrange a rest place for General Ben, I am tired." ”
