Gao Fei led the army into the city, and soon arrived at the gorgeous Zhaohou Mansion under the leadership of Han Meng. When he saw that this mansion almost became the Zhaowang Mansion, he couldn't help but sigh for Yuan Shao.
When Wen and Wu entered the city, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Chen Dao and others each led their troops and horses, and soon took over the three city gates in the east, south and north. They also lowered the suspension bridge and moved Zhang He's troops outside the south gate and Tai Shici's troops outside the east gate.
They were put into the city together, while Lu Heng, Gao Lin, Liao Hua, and Wenpin went to take over the west gate of Ye City.
Lu Heng, Gao Lin, Liao Hua, and Wenpin came to the west gate together under the leadership of Director Chun Yu. Director Chun Yu withdrew the soldiers guarding the city and brought the original Zhao soldiers to the school grounds, leaving the city gate to
Lu Heng, Gao Lin, Liao Hua and Wenpin were the four.
Lu Heng first led the soldiers to the city tower and replaced the banner hanging on the flagpole. A black background with gold letters "Yan" fluttered in the wind, and the Yan army soldiers were arranged on the city tower in an orderly manner.
In the Jin army's camp not far from the west gate, Lu Bu had just ordered his troops and horses and was about to set off when he suddenly saw the Yan army's flag hung on the gate of Yecheng. He asked incomprehensibly: "What's going on?
What's going on? Didn't you agree to launch the attack at noon?"
"Report——" The scout shouted in a long voice, riding his horse and whipping up his whip, and ran over. When he saw Lu Bu, he immediately raised his hands and said, "To report to my lord, the general of the Zhao army, Han Meng, led the civil and military forces in the city to surrender to the Marquis of Yan, Yuan Xi.
Jushou jumped into the river and committed suicide."
"What?" Lu Bu yelled furiously, "How dare Han Meng do this and ruin my plan... Where is Yan Jun now?"
The scout said: "Half of all the Yan troops poured into Yecheng and took over the defense of the four city gates."
"You bastard, how dare Gao Fei do this to me?" Lu Bu said angrily.
At this time, Chen Gong approached Lu Bu and said hurriedly: "My lord, now that the situation has come to an end, we can only go to raise an army to question the crime. Yecheng belongs to us, and Gao Fei should not enter."
Lu Bu immediately shouted: "Wen Chou, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Wei Xu!"
The four generals Wen Chou, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and Wei Xu replied in unison: "My subordinates are here!"
"Call all the soldiers and horses and follow me out of the camp!" Lu Bu waved Fang Tian's painted halberd forward and immediately rode out. Without waiting for anyone else to reply, he ran out of the camp in a hurry.
On the wall of the west gate of Ye City, Lu Heng led his soldiers to closely monitor every move of the Jin army. When he saw Lu Bu running over alone on a red rabbit horse, he immediately shouted to the bottom of the city tower: "Lü Bu is indeed here, everyone is here."
Be prepared!"
Wenpin, Liao Hua, and Gao Lin who were waiting below the tower all nodded together, leaving the cavalry to block the door, and led the archers up to the tower, immediately increasing the defensive strength of the west gate to the maximum. In addition,
There are still some soldiers pushing crossbows onto the city wall, setting them up on the city wall, and standing ready.
Lu Bu's horse was fast, and he galloped to the foot of Ximen City in a short time. When he saw the suspension bridge raised, the city gate was closed, and four generals Lu Heng, Wenpin, Gao Lin, and Liao Hua were standing on the city tower, he was furious.
He came out and shouted towards the city wall: "Where is Gao Fei? Let him come out to see me!"
Lu Heng replied: "My lord is unwell and cannot see guests for the time being. He is currently resting in the city. The military advisor asked me to tell the Marquis of Jin that when my lord recovers, he will transfer Ye City to the Marquis of Jin. We can only temporarily transfer it to the Marquis of Jin."
I feel aggrieved and the Marquis of Jin is temporarily staying outside the city."
"Not feeling well? Weren't you fine yesterday? Stop using these words to frustrate me, and go and ask Gao Fei to come see me!"
Lu Heng continued to answer: "To be honest, my lord is indeed unwell. A poisonous snake that came from nowhere last night hurt my lord. My lord is still unconscious."
"Fuck your mother-in-law! Just now Han Meng presented the city, who was that guy in armor? Don't fight me here, haha, go and ask Gao Fei to come see me, why are you breaking your promise now?"
Lu Bu roared loudly, veins popped up on his face. All he wanted was Yecheng. The most important thing was that he was worried about the treasure buried under Yuan Shao's mansion in Yecheng. The sound of countless horse hooves sounded behind him, Wen Chou, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao,
Wei Xu led all the cavalry behind Lu Bu. Each of the cavalry was very strong and looked quite mighty.
Lu Heng said to Gao Lin beside him: "The Jin army's cavalry is very majestic. I wonder who is higher and who is lower than our army?"
Gao Lin said: "No need to ask, our cavalry must be very powerful."
"Lü Bu is leading cavalry. He cannot make concessions unless he has to. He cannot transport food and property out of the city in two or three days. And if the people want to move, it will also take time," Liao Hua said.
Wenpin said: "Anyway, the master has already waited. No matter what, Lu Bu will be held back for three days. General Lu, just continue to make up."
Lu Heng nodded, turned to look at Lu Bu, and said loudly: "Marquis of Jin, what I told you is the truth. The person who accepted Han Meng's surrender just now was just a substitute for my lord. My lord was indeed bitten by a poisonous snake yesterday, and he is still alive today."
He is unconscious and has been carried into the city to rest."
"Do you believe what Lu Heng said?" Lu Bu asked softly.
Wen Chou, Gao Shun, and Wei Xu all shook their heads, expressing disbelief.
Lu Bu saw Zhang Liao's hesitation and asked, "Wen Yuan, do you believe it?"
Zhang Liao shook his head and said slowly: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. What matters is why Gao Fei did this. He blocked our army outside the city and refused to enter the city. It was just because he was afraid that our army would not give him the promise after entering the city.
The food and fodder are gone, and the subordinates thought that this might be Gao Fei’s excuse to deliberately delay the master.”
"Here, why didn't I think of that?" Wei Xu chuckled.
Gao Shun said: "I don't rule out this possibility, but if this is the case, wouldn't our army have to stay outside the city for a few more days?"
"If that doesn't work, let's attack the city. Anyway, our army has siege equipment. It's not too late to attack Ye City again!" Wei continued.
"I'll beat you up, the Yan army is defending the city now, not the Zhao army. The morale of the Yan army is very high. If we attack the city now, aren't we asking for trouble?" Gao Shun said.
"Don't make any noise!" Lu Bu shouted loudly.
Gao Shun and Wei Xu immediately calmed down and stared at the tower together.
There was a gap in Lu Bu's heart and he always felt very unhappy. However, he was eager to get the treasures in the city and could not fight the Yan army, so he shouted loudly: "Two days! I will give you two more days to get out of Ye City quickly.
Otherwise, don’t blame our army for being rude."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Bu turned his horse's head and rode back to the camp, and the other generals followed suit.
Lu Heng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Bu leading his army away. He turned to Gao Lin and said, "Go and tell the lord about this. We will guard this place. We will closely monitor Lu Bu's movements in the past two days."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
…
In the Zhaohou Mansion, Gao Fei met with all the surrendered generals of the Zhao army one by one. In order to stabilize the hearts of the Zhao army, he appointed Xin Pi as the governor of Hejian, Chen Zhen as the governor of Bohai, Zhang Nan as the governor of Qinghe, and Jiang Yiqu as the governor of Pingyuan.
, let Han Meng be the governor of Jizhou and take charge of Xindu City in Anping County.
After finishing their work, Han Meng and others exited the hall.
"Okay, now it's time to get down to business. Now that the Yuan clan has collapsed, it's Lu Bu's turn to do the rest. Our army has been carrying food and grass for a year, and it only took one and a half months to completely defeat Yuan.
It is gratifying to see the disintegration of the clan's power. However, this strategy of driving away tigers and devouring wolves must be carried out.
The morale of our army is high now. As long as we rest for a while, we can fight again. However, I now need one person to go to Shanyuting in Xianbei in person to give some benefits to the Xianbei people and let them attack Bingzhou in a month.
, I wonder who is willing to go to the grassland beyond the Great Wall?" Gao Fei asked.
Zhang He stepped forward, cupped his fists and said, "My lord, I am willing to go."
"I'm willing to go too!" Taishi Ci stood up without hesitation.
"You?" Zhang He sneered and stopped talking.
Taishi Ci had killed Yan Liang and was feeling refreshed now. Seeing Zhang He's disdainful look, he said, "What's wrong with me? You can go but I can't go?"
Zhang He said: "The grassland is not a place for people like you. Do you know where Shan Yuting of Xianbei is? Do you know how many tribes there are in Xianbei? Do you know which tribes have good relations with our army and which ones?
Do you have a bad relationship with the Jin army? Do you know when the Xianbei people hunt and where they are on the grassland? You don’t know this, right?"
Taishi Ci blinked his eyes. He was a little dumbfounded by Zhang He's series of questions. His mind went blank and he couldn't say anything.
Seeing Tai Shici's embarrassment, Gao Fei said: "Ziyi, you are really not suitable to go to the grassland. In my opinion, only Zhang He is capable of doing this. Junyi, are you sure you can convince a few Xianbei tribes?"
Zhang He stayed in Yunzhou outside the Great Wall for a long time. There was a market there. Shi Sunyou was usually in charge of the trading of goods. He was responsible for the local security and government orders. He also came into contact with a lot of Xianbei people. During this trip, he and some
The Xianbei people became good friends and learned about Xianbei from their mouths.
He thought about some of the conditions of the people on the grassland. He counted them silently in his mind, and then said to Gao Fei: "My lord, Xianbei has twenty-eight major tribes and fifty-three small tribes, with subordinates and
With the friendship of some Xianbei people, it will not be a problem to convince eight large tribes and ten or twenty small tribes."
Gao Fei said: "It should be enough. The Xianbei people live a loose life and the tribes have grudges with each other. You don't need so much. You only need to find one person and promise benefits. I believe that with his appeal, it should be possible."
Gather tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry and go south to attack Bingzhou."
Zhang He thought for a moment and said hurriedly: "Master, could it be that you are talking about Bu Dugen?"
Gao Fei smiled and said: "It was him. We had a battle with him in Liaodong three years ago. Later, Bu Dugen became honest and often sent envoys to Jicheng. Moreover, he was also a descendant of Tan Shikui. He believed that relying on his father's
Fame can attract tens of thousands of people."
Zhang He said: "I understand, when will we set off?"
"The sooner the better."
"Then...that subordinate will leave tonight. My subordinates can be handed over to Xu Gongming and Pang Lingming to take charge."
Gao Fei smiled and said: "I have my own arrangements. You go and come back quickly. I won't delay you when you come back and lead troops into Bingzhou."
"No! I will resign first!"
Jia Xu stood up, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, there is news from Zang Ba."
