After capturing Duyang, the Han army beheaded more than 20,000 people.

Zhu Jun wrote down the first credit to Sun Jian, and added a sum to the merit book for the general.

The good news reached Luoyang, the Son of Heaven was very happy, and the previous Huangfu Song attributed the credit of Yingchuan to Zhu Jun, Liu Hong waved his hand and directly sealed Zhu Jun's western township marquis, and moved the town to the thief general.

After the reward, all the generals smiled.

It's Lu Bu, as if the court doesn't know his merits, and he still serves as General Duliao in front of the miscellaneous name.

Han Zhong led the remnants of the crowd to flee south back to Wancheng, and Zhu Jun, who had been rewarded, was full of red light in recent days, feeling that he could not live up to the high expectations of the imperial court.

Twelve or thirteen miles outside the northwest of Wancheng, called Sunset Gathering.

Zhu Jun chose to build a camp here by the mountains, and the east side is a wide and long water source, which is convenient to take water, which is conducive to dealing with various emergencies.

Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu once killed the rebel general Deng Feng here.

The scouts sent out to listen to the news transmitted the captured information to Zhu Jun's ears on the third day.

After Zhang Mancheng's death, it was not Han Zhong who succeeded Qu Shuai, but a guy named Zhao Hong. It is said that among the yellow turban leaders in this area of Nanyang, he has the best martial arts.

Zhao Hong has a short temper, often relies on martial arts to oppress the good, and connives, and connives, the local people hate him very much, but inside the Yellow Turban, he is very popular.

When Zhang Mancheng was still there, he could still press him. Now that Zhang Mancheng is dead, he is naturally the first to jump out, and he is unanimously respected by other leaders and becomes the new Qu Shuai.

Knowing that the Han army was stationed at Sunset, Zhao Hong felt that it was time for him to show his might. Without saying a word, the only 3,000 cavalry soldiers in Qi City went out of the city to the northwest, preparing to dismount the Han army and avenge the dead Zhang Mancheng by the way.

Han Zhong knew that the Han army was powerful, and persuaded Zhao Hong for a long time, especially the two fierce men who had fought in the bloody battle at the head of the city, not to mention that Zhao Hong could deal with it.

Zhao Hongtou, who was conceited in martial arts, didn't believe in evil, couldn't listen to anything, and laughed at Han Zhong for being cowardly and timid, saying that when he took off the heads of those two people, he would see what Han Zhong had to say.

The three thousand horsemen of Da went straight to the sunset from the north gate of Wancheng.

Coincidentally, when approaching the Han army station, Zhao Hong met Lu Bu, who was out of the camp to let off steam.

When he saw that the young man in front of him was mighty in armor and the Red Flame Divine Horse under his crotch, he decided that his status in the Han military camp was not low, so he pointed his spear at Lu Bu and said with a wild smile: "Huangkou Xiaoer, when I saw your grandfather Zhao, I didn't obediently get off the horse and be captured!" ”

What is called an old birthday star to eat arsenic, Zhao Hong is a typical example.

The two only met once, and before they could see how Lu Bu made a move, Zhao Hong said goodbye to the world.

The soldiers behind him looked horrified, as if they had seen a ghost, the most powerful new commander in the Yellow Turban Army was actually killed and dismounted in an instant, which they could never have imagined, is this cold-faced young man in front of him still a human being?

Without waiting for Lu Bu to give the order to attack, they took the initiative to scatter as birds and beasts, leaving Zhao Hong's body lying there naked, which looked quite funny.

Bringing Zhao Hong's body back, after the generals learned that this person was the new Qu Shuai of the moth thief, their hearts were red with jealousy.

When you go out and wander, you can pick up a Qu Shuai who is sent to the door, and Lu Bu's character is simply invincible.

The cavalry who fled back to Wancheng informed the leaders of Zhao Hong's killing, and when they heard that Zhao Hong had been killed with only one combination, everyone was shocked, and they couldn't sleep and eat in panic, and they didn't know who else could fight with them.

A kingdom cannot be left without a king, nor a city without an owner.

Han Zhong was chosen as the new commander of Qu, and he knew that he was not the opponent of the Han army, so he asked people to surrender with Zhu Jun, as long as they could spare their lives, they were willing to surrender Wancheng.

Maybe it's been too smooth sailing recently, Zhu Jun's heart swelled a little, and he completely forgot the days when he was beaten by the Yellow Turban Army.

Qin Jie and Lu Bu both agreed to accept the surrender, but Zhu Jun disagreed, and quoted scriptures and classics to say a lot of truths.

He informed everyone that at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the people did not have a stable monarch, so they persuaded them to surrender with a reward. Now that the sea is unified, only the moth thieves rebel, and the surrender of them cannot turn people's hearts to good, and only by crusading against them can it be enough to punish evil. Now, if we accept their surrender, it will be to nurture their rebellion and give them the idea of 'going into battle if it is advantageous and begging to surrender if it is unfavorable'.

The generals nodded, thinking that Zhu Jun was right.

Lu Bu was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time, he really wanted to ask this Xixiang Marquis if his brain was in water, obviously he could take back Wancheng without spending a single soldier, but he had to stubbornly make the blood flow like a river before he would stop.

Knowing that Zhu Jun refused to surrender, Han Zhong decided to defend the city and told his subordinates about it.

After hearing about it, the soldiers who were still lucky heard about it, and since the Han army refused to accept them, they simply broke the jar and broke it, defended Wancheng, and fought to the death.

The Han army attacked for more than ten days, but Wancheng failed to break through, but also broke a lot of men.

Zhu Jun was extremely annoyed, but he had no choice but to temporarily confront the moth thieves in Wancheng.

At this time, many of the horsemen under Lu Bu's command appeared abnormal, with heat and dryness, vomiting and diarrhea, shouting headache and fatigue, and they couldn't get on their horses.

Lu Bu reported, but the generals didn't take it to heart, saying that this was not adaptable to the water and soil, and it was good to cultivate it for a few days.

Just when Zhu Jun was hesitating, Xu Xuan, the assassin of Jingzhou, cleaned up the moth thieves in Xiangyang, Changsha, Wuling and other places, and led the army to join Zhu Jun.

With the injection of more than 10,000 people, Zhu Jun's strength increased greatly in an instant, and he had new ideas.

He ordered his soldiers to surround the city, build a hill of earth in the southwest, and shout drums and shouts inside the city, assuming an offensive posture.

The yellow turbans in the city really hit the plan, and all rushed to the southwest to meet the enemy. And Zhu Jun led 5,000 elite soldiers to attack the northeast, and the soldiers bravely climbed the city, and fought fiercely at the head of the city for three hours.

The plan failed, Zhu Jun made a deep reflection, and soon understood the reason.

The periphery of Wancheng is strong, and the moths and thieves in the city can't surrender, so they fight to the death.

Ten thousand people are united, not to mention nearly 100,000 people!

It's hard to attack, so why not open the way and let them escape?

The candle flame danced in Zhu Jun's eyes, and that night, he summoned the generals to make a new battle plan.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Jun withdrew the soldiers at the southern gate to the north, making a gesture to attack again.

After so many days of fighting, the moth thieves in the city were already frightened, and now that there was a way out in front of them, how could there be any other concerns, instigating Han Zhong to break through to the south.

If you stick to Wancheng again, there will be more and more officers and soldiers who will come to besiege the city, and you won't be able to leave if you want to.
