Chapter 76 Brave Zhang Fei

"Brother, order the siege! This time I want to be the vanguard!" Zhang Fei couldn't wait to ask for the order. Then the generals also asked for orders to fight.

Chen Chu did not immediately express his opinion, but looked at Xu Shu on the side with inquiring eyes.

"Yuan Zhi, what do you think?" The generals' eyes immediately turned to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu smiled slightly and said, "At present, my 200,000 lion soldiers are at the city. The soldiers and civilians in Bingzhou must have been terrified, like frightened birds. For him to attack the city immediately, it is better to send a general to shoot a letter of surrender into the city first, and there may be unexpected gains."

Chen Chu nodded, thinking that Xu Shu’s words were very reasonable. However, before Chen Chu could speak, Zhang Fei spoke first. "Military advisor, why bother with me? Wouldn’t it be easy to lead my troops into the city?" Xu Shu’s official position in Chen Chu’s army was the chief clerk, but the generals under his command used to calling him the military advisor.

Xu Shu smiled and said, "General is brave, and it is of course simple to attack Bingzhou. But have the general thought about it? If the general attacks Jiancheng with brute force and courage, the casualties of the soldiers will be very heavy. We must not ignore this situation."

Xu Shu was very reasonable, and Zhang Fei retreated aside dejectedly and said nothing more.

Chen Chu glanced at Zhang Fei who was shrugging his head and said, "Just do as Yuan Zhi said. Yide."

Hearing his elder brother calling his name, Zhang Fei was immediately excited and hurriedly went out to Chen Chu and clasped his fists and said, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Chen Chu smiled, "Wait a moment and you will go to the city to challenge and shoot a letter of persuasion to surrender to the city."

Zhang Fei's eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately clasped his fists and said in a loud voice: "Thank you, Brother!"

The soldiers of Bingzhou Army on the city wall were nervously watching the prosperous army under the city. Suddenly, a cavalry rushed out of the opponent's army and came straight to the south gate. All the soldiers of Bingzhou Army immediately raised their hearts to the throat, and the crossbowmen bent their bows and arrows to aim at the cavalry.

The cavalry came to the city wall only fifty steps before holding the war horse. At this time, the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army on the city wall saw the other party's face clearly. A giant man with a black face stood proudly with his reins, his eyes were like a copper bell, his jaw was like a steel needle, his jaw was wearing a tiger's head and a chain armor, and a cold-shining snake spear, like an eternal ferocious beast, with a terrifying aura. This person was no one else, but Chen Chu's sworn brother, Zhang Fei, the general of the Northern Army.

"I am Zhang Yide, a native of Yan, who dares to fight me!" Zhang Fei stood on his spear and was as imposing as a rainbow.

A moment later, the city gate suddenly opened, and a general of the Bingzhou Army rushed out with his sword.

The general came to Zhang Fei's twenty steps in front of the horse and pressed the horse and said loudly, "I am Bingzhou...", but before he finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Zhang Fei, "Nonsense! You are just an unknown soldier. Since you are driven out to die, come here!" Zhang Fei's tone was extremely arrogant and domineering. The general of Bingzhou was so angry that his face turned red, his eyes wide open, and he stopped talking nonsense, and urged the war horse to dance with a big sword and rushed towards Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei sat leisurely on the war horse, and the tiger's eyes were full of disdain.

The war drums on both sides were beating almost at the same time, and the roaring war drums made everyone excited. Then the soldiers on both sides couldn't help but shout loudly.

The Bingzhou general seemed to be infected by this fanatical atmosphere. The speed of the war horses increased a little without realizing it, and shouted even more excitedly.

The distance of twenty steps was instantly reached for the war horse. The Bingzhou general had already rushed to Zhang Fei. The big sword was raised high and slashed straight towards Zhang Fei's head.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of Bingzhou Army standing on the city wall watching the battle instantly showed extreme excitement.

The sword light flashed, and the soldiers of Bingzhou Army looked closely, but were surprised to find that their general's big sword had stopped several inches above the other's head. After closer inspection, everyone's faces suddenly turned pale. It turned out that a ferocious thatched stairs appeared on the back of their general's neck, and the cold light and blood light shone together.

Just before the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army could react, their general was picked up by the other party again. The big knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and his hands grabbed the spear that was inserted into his neck tightly, and his feet kicked in the air, then there was no movement.

Zhang Fei raised his lips and smiled coldly, then he threw the dead General Bingzhou to the ground with a spear. Then the spear pointed to the city wall and shouted: "Who dares to fight me!"

The soldiers of the Bingzhou army looked at each other pale and no one dared to fight again. The general who had just fought was already the most powerful of the Jizhou army, but he could not take a single move under the opponent's hands. The soldiers of the Bingzhou army were shocked and their morale fell sharply.

Zhang Fei immediately shouted under the city wall for a long time, but no one dared to go out of the city to fight. Zhang Fei couldn't help but feel bored, so he sang again: "A group of cowards! Since he doesn't dare to fight, why not open the city to surrender early!" Then he took out a large bow and a sharp arrow tied to the surrender letter, shot the surrender letter onto the city wall, and then shot more than a dozen sharp arrow tied to the surrender letter. Then, Zhang Fei went back to the formation.

Zhang Feishe's letters of persuasion were all written by Xu Shu, and the content was nothing more than temptation and intimidation. Under the current situation, the role of this letter of persuasion should not be underestimated.

The letters of persuasion of surrender by Zhang Fei shot up the city wall caused a stir. Although these letters were quickly searched, the soldiers speculated about the contents, and the morale of the army became even more turbulent for a while.

Zhang Fei rode his horse back and came to Chen Chu and clasped his fists to Chen Chu and said, "Brother, I did it well!", with a somewhat proud tone.

Chen Chu laughed, "Yi De is brave, I must have scared the Jizhou Army to death!"

Zhang Fei's mouth slit and laughed.

"Yuanzhi, what should we do next?" Chen Chu turned around and asked Xu Shu who was standing beside him.

Xu Shu said: "There are some selfish villains around Ding Yuan. If I expected it to be true, there will be civil strife in Bingzhou soon. Then our army will take the opportunity to attack the city and will definitely fight down."

Chen Chu nodded, so he decided to retreat to the camp and not attack the city for the time being, so he could wait and see what happened.

Zhang Fei was quite dissatisfied with Xu Shu's analysis and said some sarcastic words that sarcasticly sarcasticly sneered by Xu Shu. These words soon reached Xu Shu's ears, but Xu Shu didn't care at all, because he knew that Zhang Fei had no malicious intentions in saying those words, but just distrust him. To win the respect and trust of brave generals like Zhang Fei, only he could show it himself.

The next day, the scout who was responsible for monitoring Bingzhou suddenly came to report, "Report to the lord, civil strife seems to be happening in Bingzhou city."

Zhang Fei, who was standing beside him, was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He had never expected that there would be civil strife in Bingzhou. He couldn't help but look at Xu Shu on the opposite side, and saw Xu Shu just smiling, so Zhang Fei's mouth broke and showed a kind smile. At this time, Zhang Fei's attitude towards Xu Shu had undergone a subtle change.

"Yuan Zhi, is it the time to attack the city?" Chen Chu asked Xu Shu.

Xu Shu nodded and said, "Now is the time. The lord should immediately order the army to attack together."

Chen Chu nodded and then sent an order.

The 200,000 soldiers of the North came out in full swing and launched fierce attacks on the west, south and east gates respectively. The resistance of the Bingzhou army was unexpectedly weak. The North Army rushed to the west, south and east walls in less than half an hour. Then, the soldiers of the North Army who rushed up the city walls opened the city gate, and the main force of the North Army rushed into the city.

After rushing into Bingzhou City, the soldiers of the Northern Army discovered that the Bingzhou City had become chaotic. The soldiers of the Bingzhou Army were fighting each other at this time.

Seeing the Zhengbei Army rushing into the city, some of the Bingzhou Army's morale was greatly boosted and cheered. Several of the generals quickly came to the Zhengbei Army.

"I have seen this general in the military captain of the Xia Bingzhou. I wonder what this general is called?" The leading officer came to Zhang Fei's war horse and said humbly.

Zhang Fei glanced at the captain with the corner of his eyes and said, "Go and call those who are still resisting to surrender. Our Northern Army promises to treat them well."

Zhang Fei's expression and behavior seemed very arrogant, but the captain did not show any dissatisfaction. At the request of Zhang Fei, the captain quickly agreed and then took his subordinates to various places where they were still fighting.

The main force of the Zhengbei Army had already entered the city, and there was no suspense in the Battle of Bingzhou. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, most of the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army were helpless to put down their weapons and gave up their resistance. However, a small number of those who were particularly tough still refused to surrender. The generals of the Zhengbei Army couldn't help but feel respect for these soldiers. After several attempts to surrender, Chen Chu had to issue an order to strangle. After the extremely tragic blood stand, all the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army who resisted fell down, and the Zhengbei Army won a complete victory.

After winning the victory, Chen Chu had no feeling of joy. On the contrary, his heart seemed to be blocked by something, which was very uncomfortable. No matter how victorious or defeated this kind of war, all the Chinese soldiers died, and all the blood of China was shed. Civil war was a heart-wrenching war that had to go through.

"Lord, Ding Yuan can't be found everywhere." Zhao Yun, who had searched the city for a while, said to Chen Chu in a little frustrated.

Chen Chu couldn't help but frown. Not only Ding Yuan was gone, but about 15,000 Bingzhou troops were also missing.

Chen Chu surrendered to the surrendered civil officials and military generals and asked: "Where has Ding Yuan gone? Do you know?"

The few people whispered to each other, and everyone looked a little nervous. After a while, no one came forward to reply. Zhang Fei, who was beside him, was impatient and said unhappy in a broken voice: "What are you guys doing? Answer my elder brother's question quickly!"

Several people pushed and pushed, and the lowest position was pushed out.

The man knelt down in front of Chen Chu and said tremblingly, "Report to the lord, we were not close friends in Ding Yuan's army before, so we are not aware of what Ding Yuan plans."

Chen Chu narrowed his eyes, as if he showed displeasure, "You really don't know?"

The people's hearts trembled, and they all knelt down and said in horror: "Lord, Mingjian, we really don't know!" The people knelt on the ground, not even daring to move.

Seeing the horrified look of several people, Chen Chu couldn't help but touch his chin. Is he very scary?

Chen Chu turned his head and looked at Xu Shu, with an inquiry in his eyes.

So Xu Shu whispered beside Chen Chu: "Lord, look at the expressions of these people, they should not be lying."

Chen Chu nodded, then turned around and said to the people kneeling on the ground, "All up, from now on, you will be my Northern Army, don't look so trembling."

After hearing this, several people hurriedly thanked him, then stood up and retreated aside.

At this time, Xu Shu walked up and asked the people, "You don't know what Ding Yuan is going, so do you know what Ding Yuan is doing? What I mean is Ding Yuan leading those 15,000 people in which direction did Ding Yuan go?"

Several people looked at each other, and one of them walked up to salute Chen Chu and Xu Shu respectively, and then replied: "We know this. Two days ago, Ding Yuan led 15,000 people out of the east gate, and never saw it again. As for where he went, we really don't know."

Chen Chu did not blame them and waved his hand to signal them to retreat.

Just as Chen Chu was about to ask Xu Shu about his judgment, Xu Shu suddenly changed his color and shouted: "No! Ding Yuan is afraid he has gone to Leping!"

Chen Chu's heart suddenly jumped, and he also thought of Ding Yuan's plan.

Chen Chu suddenly stood up with a pale face, "What a good idea! You're such a good idea!" Seeing Chen Chu's angry look, the surrendered generals all bowed their heads and dared not speak.

"Ding Yuan is simply ignorant of death! Bu asked for his orders to lead the iron cavalry to pursue Ding Yuan and swear to take Ding Yuan's head to the tent!" Lu Bu clasped his fists at Chen Chu and said fiercely, with a terrifying expression. No wonder Lu Bu was so excited, because his dear father was still in Leping at this time!

"Brother, let me chase Ding Yuan! I will never let Ding Yuan thief enter Leping and harass my sister-in-law!" Zhang Fei also asked for his order with an angry look on his face.

Immediately, generals such as Dian Wei, Zhang He, Zhao Yun, and Gao Shun also stepped out to ask for their orders.

Chen Chu looked around the generals and called out, "Fengxian, Yide, evil comes."

"Big brother (master).", the three of them agreed.

"You wait for the three of you to go down and gather the cavalry immediately."

"Yes." The three generals agreed together, and then quickly stepped out of the governor's mansion and took Chen Chu's order to gather the cavalry.

As soon as the three generals left, Chen Chu immediately said to a Tie Guard: "Prepare a horse for me." "Yes, lord."

"Master, are you?" Xu Shu was a little surprised.

Chen Chu frowned, his face full of worry, "I want to lead the cavalry to pursue Ding Yuan myself."

Xu Shu understood what Chen Chu was thinking, so he did not dissuade him.

Xu Shu suddenly knelt down in front of Chen Chu. Chen Chu was shocked and hurriedly went forward to help Xu Shu, "Yuanzhi, what are you doing?"

Xu Shu insisted on not getting up. Xu Shu said with a shameless look on his face: "It's all Shu's fault that Ding Yuan took advantage of the loophole!"

"Yuan Zhi's words are serious! How is this Yuan Zhi's fault?" Chen Chu asked with a strange feeling.

"As a counselor, Shu, but he failed to see through Ding Yuan's plan, which led to the lord's wife being in crisis. How could this not be the fault of Guan! Please punish Shu heavily and command the three armies!" Xu Shu knelt on the ground with a serious look on his face.

Chen Chu sighed, ignored Xu Shu's resistance and forced Xu Shu to lift him up. He held Xu Shu's arm. Chen Chu said sincerely: "Yuan Zhi doesn't need to take responsibility on himself. You have done a good job! It is my blessing to be able to get Yuan Zhi to make a profit!"

Xu Shu looked at Chen Chu with a sincere face and looked excited. "Lord! Hu will definitely repay you with death!" Xu Shu's voice trembled, but revealed his determination to never regret death.

A quarter of an hour later, a small school ran in and reported: "Lord, the three generals have gathered the cavalry and sent their subordinates to ask the lord whether to set off immediately."

"Go and tell the three generals and tell them to wait for a moment and I will arrive soon."

"Yes." The school promised, and then quickly left the order.

Then Chen Chu turned to Xu Shu and ordered: "Yuanzhi, during this period when I was away, you are fully responsible for all matters in Bingzhou."

At this time, the excitement on Xu Shu's face had not yet subsided. Xu Shu walked to the hall with an excited look on his face and knelt down, clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Shu will definitely live up to the lord's entrusted!"

Chen Chu nodded, and then said to the other generals: "You wait for the good life to assist Yuan Zhi, and you must not resist the order!"

"Yes, lord." The generals agreed.

Shortly after the army of the Northern Expedition Army occupied Bingzhou, 50,000 cavalry suddenly galloped out of the east gate. Above the galloping war horse under the commander's flag was the General Chen Chu of the Northern Expedition, and three generals were Zhang Fei, Dian Wei and Lu Bu.

Rui'er, you must not be in trouble! On the side of the Mercedes-Benz, Chen Chu's heart had already flown to Leping hundreds of miles away.
