Chapter 603: Sweeping Zhang Xiu

Zhang Xiu jumped out of the bed, wearing armor in his arms, and running out of the tent. He suddenly saw countless black-armored cavalry pouring in from the north, raising their hooves, while his soldiers shouted and ran around. Those who ran slowly were either killed on the spot or were knocked out by running horses.

"What's going on?" Zhang Xiu shouted in surprise.

At this time, a general covered in blood and injured heavily rushed to Zhang Xiu. This person was no one else, but Han Tong, the confidant general of Zhang Xiu. At this moment, Han Tong's face was full of horror.

"General, it's not good! The Canglang Camp of the Northern Army has come in!" Han Tong said anxiously.

"What! The Northern Army!" Zhang Xiu looked incredible, "How is this possible!"

"General, go quickly! Otherwise it will be too late!" Han Tong looked anxious.

Zhang Xiu came back to his senses, and quickly stepped on the war horse and fled south under the escort of more than a hundred soldiers including Han. He hurriedly dropped his beloved sword and wanted to turn around to pick it up, but he saw countless black cavalry coming in the fire. He immediately ignored the sword and urged the war horse to escape. This sword is the so-called "Yingtian Sword". It was originally owned by Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo's death, this "Yingtian Sword" fell into Zhang Xiu's hands. The sword was named "Yingtian". The sword pattern was like a flying cloud and a waterfall, and it was like clouds and smoke. It was one of the countless magic weapons today.

Lu Bu led the Iron Cavalry of Canglang Camp to run around Zhang Xiu's military camp. Zhang Xiu's army was killed and was in a mess. Fire continued to rise in the camp and gradually became a continuous trend.

At the same time, Cui Yan hurried to the north city gate tower, leaning against the earthen walls and looking at the Zhang Xiujun military camp outside the city, frowned. A scout hurriedly ran up under the city wall and reported: "Sir, an army raided Zhang Xiu's military camp! Zhang Xiujun is already defeated!"

"Whose army is it?" Cui Yan asked anxiously.

The scout replied: "It's unknown for the time being!"

"Talk again! Once there is information, you will get it back immediately!"

"Yes!" The scout Yingnuo rushed down the city wall, and then a crack was opened, and several fast horses ran out.

"Sir, what should we do now?" the general next to him asked with a worried look on his face.

Cui Yan stared at the burning camp outside the city and frowned: "If I expected it was right, the sudden emergence of the army must be Chen Chu's Northern Expedition Army!"

"Zhengbei Army!" The general couldn't help but say in surprise. When the soldiers around him heard these three words, they all showed panic. The remnants who escaped from the Zhengbei Army subconsciously did not dare to face the Zhengbei Army.

Cui Yan glanced at the soldiers around him and frowned. He knew that the soldiers had no courage or courage to face the Northern Army at this moment.

Cui Yan thought, "Currently, I can only wait and see what happened!" Then he turned his head and ordered the general: "The four sects of the order should be strictly guarded! If there is any disturbance, I will repay you immediately!" "Yes!" The general Yingnuo rushed down and sent the order.

Cui Yan looked up at the Zhang Xiu's army camp, which had been completely engulfed by the fire, and frowned tightly.

About a quarter of an hour later, the scout returned to the city gate, rushed to the city gate tower, and knelt down and said, "Sir, the army that raided Zhang Xiu's army was the Canglang Camp of the Northern Army!"

When he heard the three words "Canglang Camp", even Cui Yan's face changed slightly.

Cui Yan murmured, "Chen Chu actually sent Canglang Camp! It seems that Chen Chu is planning to take Yuzhou into his pocket!" He frowned and called a general to order, "Report the situation here immediately!" The general Yingnuo immediately ran down the city gate tower. The general Cui Yan mentioned was Liu Bei. Liu Bei was in Yangzhou at this moment, and was reorganizing and rectifying the army and stabilizing the local situation. Liu Bei has now risen and has become a magistrate in the world.

In the early morning, the rising sun shone through the last trace of night, and the early birds chirped; wisps of white smoke floated rudely in the camp that had become ruins, and several fires were burning, gradually returning to peace. Tens of thousands of prisoners of Zhang Xiujun squatted on a clearing ground with their heads in their heads, looking depressed, and tens of thousands of soldiers from the Canglang Camp surrounded them.

Lu Bu rode the Red Rabbit Cat and carried the Fang Tian Painted Gala. "What happened last night?" Lu Bu asked, and Deputy General Zeng Gang reported: "The nearly 100,000 troops of Zhang Xiu's army were basically wiped out, and only thousands of remaining troops escaped! In this battle, our army killed nearly 20,000 enemy heads and captured nearly 70,000. Our army lost less than a thousand people!" Lu Bu laughed and said, "Now, it's hard to argue with me!" The black bear Lu Bu mentioned was Zhang Fei. Since Zhang Fei and Guan Yu swept across the seven counties in Liaodong in one fell swoop, Lu Bu was particularly depressed. He seemed to see Zhang Fei ridicule him with a arrogant look on his face. Therefore, when Chen Chu decided to conquer Yuzhou in the south, Lu Bu was the most eager general to seek war.

As the deputy general of Lu Bu, Zeng Gang of course understood Lu Bu's idea, smiled and said with a fist: "The general fought to the ancient city, then went to Runan again, and defeated the main force of Zhang Xiu's army in three battles! The lord must be very happy!"

Lu Bu laughed out loud.

"General, what should we do next?" Zeng Gang clasped his fists and asked for instructions.

Lu Bu said: "The lord said in the letter, 'If you defeat the main force of Zhang Xiu's army, you will not move!'. After passing the order, the entire army will camp on the spot and wait for the lord's army to arrive!"

"Yes!" Zeng Gang replied, and pulled the reins and rode his horse away.

Lu Bu urged the Red Rabbit Divine Horse to slowly walk around the edge of the ruins of the camp. A captain ran over, holding a black sword in his hand.

The captain rushed to Lu Bu and reported: "General, the last general will pick up a sword in the ruins!" As he said that, he put his hands on a long sword.

Lu Bu took a casual look and smiled disapprovingly: "You also say such a thing is a sword!"

The captain was stunned and then understood. He pulled out the sword with a clanging sound. A cold light shone in front of Lu Bu. Lu Bu was stunned, then his eyes lit up, took the sword one by one, and looked at it carefully. He saw two ancient Chinese characters engraved on the position close to the hilt of the sword. Lu Bu couldn't help but chant: "Yi Tian!" Then he said in disbelief: "This is actually Yi Tian Jian! I thought the Yi Tian Jian had disappeared with Dong Zhuo's death!"

Lu Bu couldn't wait to sing: "Get a weapon!"

The captain immediately picked up a ring-headed knife on the spot, clasped his fists and said, "General!"

Lu Bu glanced at the captain and said, "Twist it!"

The captain Yingnuo said, turned the knife head and threw it gently towards Lu Bu. Lu Bu glanced at the flying ring-headed sword, held the sword in his right hand and waved it. With a clanging sound, the ring-headed sword immediately broke into two pieces.

Lu Bu raised the Yitian Sword and looked at the blade without any change. The captain picked up two broken blades and presented them to Lu Bu. Lu Bu looked at it and saw that the broken blade was as smooth as a mirror. Lu Bu stroked the Yitian Sword and exclaimed: "What a treasure blade with iron-cutting like mud!"

The captain said with joy: "The lord will definitely be very happy to present this sword to the lord!"

Lu Bu was stunned, his eyes showed reluctance and nodded.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Canglang Camp started camping in Dazhai not far from the ruins of Zhangxiu’s military camp, near a stream. Before noon, a large camp was basically completed.

In Gepo City, Liu Bei's soldiers were worried, and everyone was very worried that the Northern Army might launch an offensive at any time. The atmosphere in the city seemed very depressing.

Before the evening of that day, the latest military information about Yuzhou was sent to Liu Bei in Yangzhou. At this time, Liu Bei was having a banquet with the influential gentry of the gentry in Yangzhou.

When Liu Bei learned of the sudden appearance of the Northern Army, he was shocked on the spot. The gentry and gentry in the hall were all savage figures. He immediately realized that something had happened and couldn't help but feel anxious.

"General, I don't know what happened." A middle-aged man wearing a Confucian shirt and fairy-like manner asked with his fists. The man's name was Zou Wenkui, a famous scholar in Yangzhou. He once praised filial and honest people and had a great reputation among the scholars in Yangzhou.

Liu Bei came back to his senses and realized that he had lost his composure. He sorted out his emotions a little and said with a melancholy expression: "Nothing big is happening, but I heard that the general has acted again and is worried about the sufferings of the people!"

Everyone present changed their faces when they heard this. Zou Wenkui said anxiously: "But I don't know where the general's military commands are directed."

Liu Bei said: "It's Yuzhou!"

When everyone heard that it was Yuzhou, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Zou Wenkui clasped his fists with admiration and said, "It is really a blessing for the general to worry about the country and the people!"

Liu Bei humbled himself with a humble look, then said anxiously: "Although I am willing to help Your Majesty calm the world, my strength is really small!" Liu Bei seemed to feel something, and drank a glass of wine suddenly, his face full of depression and depression.

Many of the people present could not help but be moved by Liu Bei's words and expressions, and could not help but express a sigh and emotion.

Zou Wenkui, who was excited, clasped his fists and said, "General, I wonder if we can help the general!"
