In early November of the fourth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Luoyang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Liu Bei led his army to withdraw across the Yellow River and entered Luoyang City with extreme depression.

Yuan Shao introduced to Liu Bei: "Li Yi defeated my coalition army with Han Sui and occupied Guanzhong, Yuan Tan and Zhang Ji could only withdraw to the line of Hangu Pass and Luhun Pass, relying on the terrain and dangerous passes to fight against the Northern Frontier Army. ”

"Liu Biao has returned to Jingzhou. The latest news is that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu took advantage of their superiority in strength to defeat Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu. Huang Zu and his son Huang Shot were killed in battle, and the Jingzhou army suffered heavy losses. At present, Liu Biao has negotiated peace with Zhang Xian, the Taishou of Changsha, who has gathered people to rebel, and is gathering troops to prepare for a counteroffensive. ”

"Liu Biao's counteroffensive is relatively difficult, so I have written to Cao Cao in Xuzhou and Yan Xiang in Jiujiang County three times and twice to cross the river from Guangling and Jiujiang to attack Jiangdong as soon as possible, forcing Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to withdraw their troops."

"Cao Cao replied that Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan had already led their troops south to Guangling and would soon attack Wu County."

Yan Xiang replied that Jiujiang and Lujiang counties are now in chaos, especially after Yuan Yao went back, he gathered the rogues in the Jianghuai area, such as Zheng Bao and others, to raise an army of nearly 10,000 people, and fought a few battles with Li Shu, Yuan Yin and others. At present, it has helped Yan Xiang basically control the entire territory of Jiujiang County. As soon as Li Shu was driven out of Hefei, they crossed the river from the direction of Liyang to attack Jiangdong. ”

"Xuande, the current situation in Xuzhou is not good. Yanzhou's Northern Xinjiang Army, Qingzhou's Zang Ba, and Jiangdong's Sun Ce are all likely to use troops against Xuzhou, and your army was almost lost in this battle, so ......" Yuan Shao looked at Liu Bei with an expressionless face and said slowly, "I want you to go to Yuzhou to serve as the assassin and lead the Taishou of Runan County, I don't know if you want to?" ”

………………

Mid-November, Yuzhou, Xuchang.

Liu Bei led his army to Yingchuan, Yuzhou, as the assassin of Yuzhou and the leader of Runan Taishou, and met Chen Lin, Xu Xuan, Zhou Cang and others in Xuchang.

Wen Ping, Pang Ji, Liu Hu, Gan Ning and others immediately bid farewell to Liu Bei and returned to Jingzhou with the army.

Xu Xuan was reappointed as Nanyang Taishou at this time. He also said goodbye to Liu Bei, and then went to Nanyang.

Yingchuan guarded Chen Lin and set up a banquet in the camp to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Liu Bei.

During the banquet, Zhou Cang was extremely dissatisfied with Liu Bei's abandonment of Xuzhou. He didn't want to blame Liu Bei, so he scolded Cao Cao, and incidentally scolded Yuan Shao.

Liu Bei felt sorry for his brother and looked ashamed. What can he do now? You can't take the army and Cao Cao to rob Xuzhou, right? He and Cao Cao tore their faces and fought hotly, Li Yi made no effort to pick up a big bargain for nothing, he couldn't do this kind of thing no matter what, and he could only endure the big resentment.

There were many of Yuan Shao's subordinates at the table, and they glared at Zhou Cang one by one, eager to beat him up.

A meal broke up.

Zhou Cang has a bad temper and likes to drink and scold people. Liu Bei was worried that he would clash with Yuan Shao's men in Xuchang, so he asked him and Sun Qian to go to Runan to recruit soldiers and accumulate grain and grass in preparation for next year's war.

Liu Bei also wrote to Zhu Ling, Jian Yong and other subordinates who were far away in Xuzhou to rush to Xuchang with the army as soon as possible to rendezvous.

………………

Late November, Xuzhou, Pengcheng.

Zhu Ling galloped to the gate of the mansion with a team of guards, and roared angrily: "Rush in for me and rescue people." ”

"General Zhu......" The leader of the patrol guard saw Zhu Ling rushing towards him angrily, and was surprised, "General Zhu, what are you doing here?" ”

"Get out of the way...... Zhu Ling grabbed his arm and threw him out of the air, "If you dare to block it, you will be killed." ”

Dozens of guards swarmed up, punched and kicked, and beat the dozen or so guards guarding the gate of the government to the point of holding their heads.

The drums of the "knock knock ......" alarm sounded into the sky.

Behind the back of Zhu Ling's hand, he swaggered in the front, murderous. The guards held weapons in their hands, followed him and beat people whenever they met, and smashed things when they saw them, and for a time there was chaos in the palace.

Cao Ang rushed out with a group of men and horses, and when he saw Zhu Ling walking towards him, he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked puzzledly: "General Zhu, what are you doing here?" Drunk too much and got drunk? ”

"Where's the Prime Minister?" Zhu Ling roared angrily.

"What do you want to do? Do you want to assassinate the prime minister? Cao Ang saw that the other party was rude to his father, and immediately became unhappy, and said angrily, "Can't you report something?" Why do you have to call in? Are you about to leave Xuzhou, feeling uncomfortable? ”

"Where's the Prime Minister?" Zhu Ling strode up to him and shouted.

"Hey...... Zhu Wenbo, don't be embarrassed. This is the Prime Minister's Mansion, not your back garden, so don't go too far. Cao Ang knew that Zhu Ling was about to leave Xuzhou with Liu Beijun, and Liu Beijun gritted his teeth with hatred for Cao Cao and Cao Jun, so he must not provoke trouble at this time, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Zhu Ling didn't appreciate it at all, and yelled again: "Is the prime minister in the inner mansion?" ”

"That's it." Cao Ang held back his anger and waved his hand at the guards who rushed up from all around, "General Zhu, take your people to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately, don't kill yourself." ”

"Who dares to kill me...... Zhu Ling shouted loudly with anger in his eyes, "Rush into the inner mansion and rescue the people for me." ”

Cao Ang wanted to persuade again, but he saw that the wind was spreading, and the war knife behind Zhu Ling was already like lightning, whistling towards him.

Cao Ang screamed, and the war gun in his hand flew up, blocking it head-on.

"When ......" loud sounds, sparks are everywhere. Cao Ang's mouth shook violently, and the war gun flew out of his hand.

Before he could take the weapon again, Zhu Ling's war knife had already chopped again.

"Retreat ......" Cao Ang roared, his body flew back, and at the same time a punch was blasted out.

The sword chopped into the air, and the iron fist rushed to the thunder. Zhu Ling's tall body did not retreat, but advanced, slammed into Cao Ang's fist, and said angrily: "Get out of ......"

Cao Ang hit Zhu Ling, but his force value was only 67, which was not a small gap with Zhu Ling of 73, and now Zhu Ling was in a rage, and the force exploded, where was Cao Ang's opponent, he was hit like this, and he took a few steps back.

"Kill ......" Zhu Ling shouted again, the sword roared, and thunder fell.

Cao Ang's subordinates had already reacted at this time, and the shield blocked it.

The "bang ......" sword slashed into the shield with a dull sound. The guard holding the shield screamed miserably, and even the people with the shield were chopped to the ground by Zhu Ling.

"Surround Zhu Ling, surround him for me......" Cao Ang was so angry that he roared angrily, and the war spear in his hand slashed into the air, killing Zhu Ling.

Guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion flocked from all directions.

"Formation......" Zhu Ling raised his head and shouted, "Rush in, rush in for me......"

Dozens of guards were as morale as rainbows, and they followed Zhu Lingyu with a sharp arrow battle formation, advancing step by step, and the sound of killing suddenly resounded throughout the mansion.

Cao Ang faced Zhu Ling's stormy attack, and retreated again and again, he shouted as he retreated: "Zhu Ling, if you don't quit, I will kill people." ”

"Hmph......" Zhu Ling sneered, suddenly withdrew his sword, looked at the sweaty Cao Ang, and said coldly, "If you dare to hurt me alone, I will wash Pengcheng in blood today." ”

Cao Ang was about to sneer at each other, when he saw several guards in the opponent's battle formation shooting several arrows into the air.

"Whew...... "Boom ......" Ming Di flew straight into the clouds, and the piercing cry made people shudder.

Cao Ang's face changed suddenly, and he said in his heart, Could it be that there is still Zhu Ling's army outside the city?

"Kill, kill, kill me in......" Zhu Ling raised his sword and roared in with his personal guards.

Cheng Yu appeared beside Cao Ang.

"General Zhu, what are you doing here?" Cheng Yu asked angrily, "It is the will of the Son of Heaven for the prime minister to lead Xuzhou, and it is Liu Xuande's order to let you evacuate Xuzhou with the army." You have a grudge to play the court, why did you lead people to rush to kill the Prime Minister's Mansion? Do you want to gather a crowd to rebel? ”

Zhu Ling stopped and said with a dark face: "Let the prime minister come out and speak." ”

"The prime minister won't see you." Cheng Yu waved his hand angrily and said coldly, "The money and food have been given to you, and the families of Liu Xuande and the generals under his command have also been taken away by Xianhe, what else do you want to see the prime minister?" Exit for me immediately, or I will be killed. ”

Zhu Ling narrowed his eyes, the muscles on his face twitched violently, the war knife in his hand pointed at Cheng Yu, and said through gritted teeth: "If you talk nonsense with me again, I will chop you with a knife." You pigs and dogs are not as good as beasts, just rob Xuzhou, and rob the wives and children of Xuzhou soldiers, it is really better than birds and beasts. At the beginning, Zhou Cang was blind, and he actually led the Xuzhou soldiers to fight bloodily, exchanging thousands of lives for your wolf-hearted things. ”

Cao Ang was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, and he roared loudly, and he was about to lead people to pounce on him with his teeth and claws.

Cheng Yu grabbed him. Zhu Ling has a calm personality, takes the overall situation into account, and is not a reckless and irritable person. Otherwise, after the Central Plains War, he would not have gone to Xuzhou to reorganize his army and help Cao Cao fight against the Northern Xinjiang Army when he knew that Cao Cao was going to seize Xuzhou. There must be a reason for today's events.

Cheng Yu asked in a deep voice, "General Zhu, what did you mean by that just now?" Who robbed the wives and children of the Xuzhou soldiers? Whose wife and children were robbed? ”

"Tell that shameless prime minister to get out of here." Zhu Ling roared loudly, "If he doesn't send Qin Yilu's wife and children out of the city today, even if Lao Tzu is wiped out, he will have to wash Pengcheng in blood." ”

Cheng Yu suddenly thought of something, his face was shocked, and he asked Zhu Lingdao with some weakness: "General Zhu, do you mean the Du clan who just gave birth to a child?" ”

"My Zhu Lingtang eight-foot man, I can't protect the Han Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, and I can't protect my brother's wife and children, what face do I have to survive in the world?" Zhu Ling turned around suddenly, raised his war knife, and shouted loudly, "Brothers, what about dying in battle for the sake of the dead Xuzhou heroic soul today?" ”

Dozens of guards raised their weapons and roared in unison.

Almost at the same time, an earth-shattering sound of war drums suddenly sounded outside the city. The drums thundered like thunder, reaching into the sky.

Cheng Yu, Cao Ang, and hundreds of guards in the palace all changed color in shock. (To be continued.) )
