The army with the banner of "Lu" is galloping from the northwest to Juancheng, the leader is wearing a white robe, a silver helmet, and a silver armor, his bronze face is angular, like a knife and an axe, and the silver light flashes in his deep eyes, as sharp as a blade.

Under his crotch is a huge fiery red war horse, with strong muscles, a well-proportioned body, four powerful hooves, and a flying mane when running, like a dancing fire, and the divine horse is very good.

In his hand, he carried a Fang Tian painting halberd, about one foot and three feet long, which looked cold and shining in the morning light.

This knight is the commander of this army, surnamed Lu Mingbu, the word Fengxian, is a native of Jiuyuan County.

Lu Bu had worked for Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo successively, and soon after, he conspired with Wang Yun to kill Dong Zhuo, who had brought disaster to the country and the people, and was named General Fenwu and Marquis Wen.

Later, Lu Bu was counterattacked by Dong Zhuo's old army, withdrew from Chang'an in defeat, and went into exile in Kanto with the remnants. He took the lead in taking refuge with Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu thought that Lu Bu was a repeated villain and refused to accept Lu Bu. As a last resort, Lu Bu went to take refuge with Yuan Shao again.

Yuan Shao was in the midst of a bitter battle with the Black Mountain thief Zhang Yan at this time, and when he heard that Lu Bu led the crowd to vote, he was overjoyed, and borrowed Lu Bu's courage to defeat the Black Mountain thief. But later, because Lü Bu was proud of his achievements, he plundered the army, which attracted Yuan Shao's disgust, and Yuan Shao's advisers even suggested that Yuan Shao kill Lü Bu, Lü Bu fled to Hanoi overnight with his old troops, and united with Zhang Yang, the Shangdang Taishou who was stationed in Hanoi at that time.

However, Yuan Shao sent chasing troops and was unwilling to let Lü Bu go, and Lü Bu was afraid that Zhang Yang would be implicated by him, so he led the crowd to leave and crossed the Yellow River south to Chenliu.

Who knew that as soon as he arrived in Chenliu, he was warmly received by Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others, and everyone unanimously recommended him as Yanzhou Mu. Lu Bu, who had been sending people under the fence, seemed to have suddenly received the favor of God, and without thinking about it, he immediately accepted the invitation of Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others, and established himself as the pastor of Yanzhou.

Although Chen Gong is the Taishou of Dongjun, it is a pity that he has no actual power, and the soldiers and horses are in the hands of Xiahou Dun, the captain of Zhichong. Chen Gong heard that Lü Bu had crossed south from Hanoi to Chenliu, so he rushed to Chenliu from Puyang in the starry night and persuaded Zhang Miao to welcome Lü Bu. After Zhang Miao agreed, he sent someone to take Lu Bu to Chen Liu.

Lu Bu reorganized his troops and horses in Chenliu, showed his strength, left Zhang Miao and a few people to guard Chenliu, he led a large army, with Chen Gong as a military division, and turned to fight in various places in a few days, and successively captured the injustice, Dingtao, Juyang, Lihu and other places with lightning speed.

After that, Lu Bu even pointed his troops directly at Puyang, using Chen Gong's strategy to open the city gate, defeat Xiahoudun, occupy Puyang in one fell swoop, and surrendered many Cao soldiers, waiting for a lot of grain and grass, and a lot of baggage.

Originally, Lu Bu wanted to defend Puyang, but was dissuaded by Chen Gong, and at Chen Gong's suggestion, he led the crowd to attack Cao Cao's lair Juancheng.

Lu Bu galloped all the way with the army, and finally arrived here in Pingming today, but he didn't expect that there was another army of soldiers and horses in the southeast who also killed Juancheng.

"Whose soldiers and horses are that?" Lu Bu raised the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, pointed in the southeast direction, turned his head and asked.

Immediately behind Lu Bu was Chen Gong, and he took a closer look at the soldiers and horses, and it turned out to be Xuzhou soldiers. He looked surprised, and said in a lost voice: "How could Xuzhou soldiers appear here?" Shouldn't they face Cao Cao in Xuzhou? ”

"Is it Xuzhou Bing?" Lu Bu asked.

Chen Gong said: "Yes, it's Xuzhou soldiers, you can't be wrong." ”

He glanced at the banner of the soldiers and horses again, which was "Zhang" with white characters on a red background, his brows furrowed suddenly, and he guessed: "Could it be Zhang Yan?" ”

Lu Bu asked, "Does the public know this person?" ”

Chen Gong shook his head and said, "I don't know, I've only heard of his deeds, but I've never seen him." Last year, Cao Cao went to attack Xuzhou, and I heard that it was because of this person that he was forced to retreat. This time, Cao Cao planned to attack Xuzhou again, and originally wanted to attack from Pengcheng, but because Pengcheng was garrisoned by this person, he changed the offensive route. But Cao Cao was still a little worried, so he left 30,000 troops stationed in Gaoping County and handed over to Cao Ren to lead, the purpose of which was to prevent this person. ”

"Hearing you say that, I'd love to get to know this person."

"Lord, I'm just guessing, and I don't know if the commander of this army with the banner of 'Zhang' is Zhang Yan?"

"Whether it's or not, it's the Xuzhou soldiers who came anyway, I think their purpose should be the same as ours, Juancheng. Since it's not an enemy, it's a friend. You lead the army to continue to Juancheng, and I will meet the commander of this army! ”

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Chen Gong to answer, Lu Bu clamped the red rabbit horse under the seat with his legs, and with a loud shout of "driving", he galloped out.

Lu Bu rode alone, galloped wildly, and galloped towards Zhang Yan and the others.

Zhang Yan had already noticed Lu Bu's figure, and carefully observed it, from head to toe, he saw Lu Bu thoroughly.

Fang Tian's painted halberd, the red rabbit horse as bright red as blood, and the chic and elegant figure were enough to prove that this knight was the person he guessed in his heart: Lu Bu.

The red rabbit horse under Lu Bu's seat can travel thousands of miles a day, the two armies are only a few miles apart, Lu Bu soon galloped to the vicinity of Zhang Yan and others, he reined in the horses, looked at the Xuzhou soldiers led by Zhang Yan from a distance, and shouted loudly: "In Xia Lu Bu, dare to ask who your commander is?" ”

"Sure enough, it's Lu Bu!" When Zhang Yan heard Lu Bu's name, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He hurriedly reined in his horses and ordered the army to stop, while he rode his horse a few steps forward and shouted at Lü Bu, "I am their commander." ”

"Report your name!" Lu Bu shouted.

"Xiaocai General Zhang Yan, I've seen General Lu!" Zhang Yan said respectfully.

After Lu Bu heard this, he got up and said to Zhang Yan: "Sure enough, it's you!" I've heard your name, and I'll just ask you one thing, what are you doing with your troops and horses in Juancheng? ”

"What is General Lu doing when he comes to Juancheng?"

"Naturally, I'm here to attack Juancheng. If you're also here to attack Juancheng, then we're really like-minded. ”

Zhang Yan saw that Lu Bu's speech and demeanor were full of boldness, giving people a sense of approachability, not at all like the male lord who dominated the party. It is even more unimaginable that the person in front of him is the best in the world.

"General Lu, we are indeed like-minded, and I am also here to attack Juancheng."

Lu Bu smiled: "Since you and I are like-minded, we might as well attack Juancheng together." I will attack the north gate, you will attack the south gate, and our two armies will work together, and I believe that it will not be long before we can capture Juancheng. ”

"Just what I want!"

Lu Bu hugged Zhang Yan with a fist, a smile appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "General Zhang, I am waiting for you in Juancheng, I hope you don't let me wait for a long time!" ”

After speaking, Lu Bu turned his horse's head, shouted "driving", and quickly left.

Yu Ban saw that Lu Bu was gone, so he said to Zhang Yan: "Lord, there is a hint of sarcasm in Lu Bu's words, and the tone is too arrogant......

"Lu Bu among people, red rabbit among horses. This is his arrogant capital, Wen Ze doesn't have to take it to heart, let's attack Juancheng quickly, don't miss the opportunity. ”

"Whoa!"

Lu Buma was fast, and soon caught up with Chen Gong and the others, and said to Chen Gong: "Zhang Yan is arrogant, and he has the demeanor of a general in his speech and demeanor, if it is as Gongtai just said, Zhang Yan is a person who gives Cao Cao a headache, then if this person can be used by me, then why am I afraid of Cao Cao?" ”

Chen Gong heard that Lu Bu had the intention of recruiting Zhang Yan, so he asked, "Lord, do you want to recruit Zhang Yan?" ”

"Exactly. Gongtai, is there any way you can get Zhang Yan to come to my account? ”

Chen Gong frowned and said to Lu Bu: "Lord, the top priority should be to capture Juancheng first, and Zhang Yan's affairs should be put aside for the time being, and when Juancheng is captured, I will naturally find a way for Zhang Yan to come to the lord." ”

"So much for the best. The order went down, and the whole army quickly drove to the north gate, leaving the south gate to Zhang Yan to attack, and after entering the city, they were not allowed to be enemies with the Xuzhou soldiers. ”

"What? Lord, did you let the Xuzhou soldiers also attack Juancheng? After hearing this, Chen Gong was immediately surprised.

"Gongtai, is there anything wrong?" Lu Bu asked.

Chen Gong hurriedly said: "Lord, although the Xuzhou soldiers are not hostile to our army, they are definitely not allies of our army, if after capturing Juancheng, Cao Cao's family falls into the hands of Zhang Yan, then what will the lord use to blackmail Cao Cao?" Moreover, Juancheng is Cao Cao's lair, and the money and grain are widely collected, in case the Xuzhou soldiers get more wealth than us, then won't our trip outweigh the losses? ”

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "How much wealth can you have in a small town?" Can it be more than Puyang? Besides, to deal with Cao Cao, there is no need to hold Cao Cao's family hostage, with my martial arts, it is enough to make Cao Cao frightened! Needless to say, this matter is decided! ”

Although Chen Gong was not very reluctant in his heart, he saw Lu Bu's arrogance, plus he had just met Lu Bu, and he was not very familiar with each other, so it would not look good if he was stiff.

So, he didn't say anything anymore, followed Lu Bu closely, and headed towards Juancheng.

As soon as the smoke slipped away, Lu Bu's army arrived at the foot of Juancheng City, Lu Bu rode out of his horse and shouted at the tower of Juancheng City: "Wait and listen, I am Lu Bu, if you don't want to die, quickly open the city gate and surrender, otherwise, step on Juancheng, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!" ”

"Shoot the arrows!" On the tower of the city, Xiahoudun, who had retreated from the defeat of Puyang and had retreated here, saw Lu Bu shouting outside, and immediately ordered.

Arrows rained down and shot at Lu Bu one after another. It's a pity that Lu Buma was fast, took a few steps back, and the arrow completely fell in front of him, unscathed.

Lu Bu looked at Xiahoudun, who was commanding the battle on the city tower, and said angrily: "It turns out that you came here!" Since you want to die, then I will fulfill you! Besiege! ”

With Lu Bu's order, the cavalry behind him swarmed up, each holding a big bow, rushed to the city and fired arrows on the city tower, they were skilled in bow horses, and shot a Cao soldier with an arrow, and in a moment, the Cao soldiers on the city tower were killed a lot.

After shooting an arrow, these cavalry immediately retreated, and the infantry that followed, under the leadership of the general Gao Shun, rushed to the city with a ladder, erected the ladder on the wall, and began to climb.
