Seeing this, Guan Yu no longer had any doubts, and he patted his horse and walked towards the city gate.
"General, don't enter the city. Chen Deng has already taken refuge with Cao Cao!" As soon as he finished speaking, the general was also killed by the soldiers who rushed towards him.
Guan Yu was shocked and looked at Chen Deng with cold eyes: "My eldest brother treats you very well, why do you do this!"
Seeing that the matter was exposed, Chen Deng hurriedly ordered the soldiers to close the city gate, raise the flag of Cao's army, and laughed and said: "I have led the army to surrender to General Cao, so there is no need to say more! Duke Cao is benevolent and righteous, and he is known to the whole world.
The soldiers under my command are brave and good at fighting, and Xuzhou can be easily obtained, so why should we resist in vain."
Guan Yu's blood surged, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Attack the city!"
Arrows and arrows were fired from the city, and Guan Yu lost hundreds of men and horses. He shouted: "Child Chen Deng, I will take your life in the future!" He led the army out of Xiapi angrily, and Chen Deng did not pursue him.
Cao Cao captured Xiapi without losing any blood. When he saw Liu Bei's fierce general Zhang Fei in prison, he was overjoyed and granted Chen Deng the title of Xuzhou Farewell.
Chen Deng was overjoyed to receive such a high official position just after joining Cao Cao, and he hurriedly thanked him.
The Chen family's father and son defected to Cao Cao, which accelerated the progress of Cao Cao's army. They occupied Xiapi, and the next step was to govern Xuzhou. This attack on Xuzhou was unprecedentedly smooth. Of course, all the credit was based on the Chen family, and Cao Cao did not treat Chen badly.
The father and son of the family were overjoyed and directly named Chen Deng the governor of Xuzhou.
Liu Bei learned that the Chen family and his son rebelled, and lost Pengcheng and Xiapi one after another. His third brother Zhang Fei was captured alive by Cao Jun. He was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood. After waking up, he kept cursing the Chen family and his son for being ruthless and unjust. At this time, the Chen family in the city
They had already moved away, and Liu Bei had no way to express his anger, so he had to break his teeth and swallow it.
The three brothers have been in the military for more than ten years. Unexpectedly, in the end, the third brother fell into the hands of the enemy because of the betrayal of his close confidants. You can imagine how he felt in his heart.
Moreover, the people who betrayed him were the most trusted Chen family father and son. They must have planned this for a long time. Liu Bei had never hated a person so much. He always believed that his benevolence and righteousness would win the loyalty of his soldiers.
Cao Cao's progress in Xuzhou was very rapid, which made Liu Biao in Jingzhou feel a little panic. The stronger Cao Cao's army, the greater the threat to him. In the past, he occupied the land of Jingzhou and carried 100,000 soldiers, which always made him feel very proud and leisurely.
It has become a mantra to wait until there is nothing to do. Now look at the world, which prince does not have a hundred thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, and the elite level of the soldiers and horses is far beyond that of Jingzhou. When the princes attacked Jia Rong, various princes came up with endless methods, but the Jingzhou army did not.
What kind of special team has become a hurdle in Liu Biao's heart, especially Cao Jun's cavalry. They were able to fight against the Xiliang Army cavalry back then. With that kind of strength, Liu Biao and Cao Cao were neighbors and had already felt deep fear. Fortunately, Cao Jun
He has been in the midst of war and has no time to pay attention to Jingzhou.
Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou. Liu Biao, under the advice of his advisers, sent out a large army to the border of Yuzhou. After receiving the news, Cao Cao just smiled and accelerated the attack on Xuzhou. It was a joke. With Liu Biao's strength, he dared to attack Cao Jun. It was completely
This is an act of overestimating one's own capabilities, and it can only serve to contain some soldiers. What's more, Yuzhou has Guo Da in charge. At such a critical moment back then, Jingzhou couldn't do anything to Guo Da, let alone now.
The Battle of Xuzhou has reached its final moment, and the same goes for the Battle of Bingzhou. In the past few days, turmoil has broken out in Jinyang City. Soldiers, common people, and aristocratic families were involved. If Jia Rong is a wolf, then Li Ru is one at this time.
A tiger that eats people without spitting out its bones. When Jia Rong ruled, as long as the family was honest, the Xiliang army would not cause trouble. But now, in order to defend Jinyang, Li Ru took action against the merchants and common people. The merchants were in the market.
Doing business in the city often leads to looting by soldiers. If things go on like this, no merchants dare to do business. The city gates are closed, merchants cannot do business, and the people have no money in their hands and cannot buy rice. Forced by hunger,
Simple people can also take drastic actions. Under the instigation of thoughtful people, common people and merchants constantly resisted the patrolling soldiers, causing the patrolling soldiers in the city to look wary. They looked at the common people and merchants on both sides of the road.
His eyes are also a little different.
The biggest turmoil in the city was that organized by the Lu family. More than a thousand people went straight to the city gate to welcome the Xiliang army into the city. Li Ru directly beheaded more than a hundred members of the Lu family in the vegetable market. It was a bloody scene.
, calmed down the throbbing hearts of some people. There were tens of thousands of troops in the city. They couldn't fight with the kitchen knives and hoes at home. The common people and merchants could only silently pray in their hearts that the Xiliang army could speed up their attack and occupy Bingzhou.
Not only the common people and merchants, but also the generals in the army were overstaffed. When they followed Li Ru, they had some unspeakable difficulties. In times of peace, it was okay to say that once the state was in danger, they would only shift the biggest responsibility to Li Ru.
Without Li Ru's betrayal, they might have married and had children and lived a happy life under the rule of the Xiliang Army. How could they be like now, having to watch out for the army outside the city and the people in the city when they sleep.
Duan Xuan and Xu Rong of Jingling could not sit still. The food and grass in the city could not be sustained. At first, they relied on Jingling and counted on Li Ru to send food and grass supplies. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the master of Bingzhou was
If you want to become the Xiliang Army, there is not enough food and grass in the city, so there is no need to fight, just surrender.
Duan Xuan led the cavalry to charge repeatedly, but to no avail. Instead, many people were killed. Zhao Yun received a simple order from Jia Rong, which was to drag the Bingzhou Army in Jingling to death completely, so that they could not move at all.
Lu Bu and Ma Chao continued to lead the cavalry on the battlefield. Since these two men were so aggressive, Jia Rong gave each of them a thousand cavalry to intercept reinforcements from various places. There were almost no reinforcements sent from other places in Bingzhou, so the two of them could only
He has become the most laid-back person on the battlefield. For some reason, Ma Chao and Lu Bu have recently competed in killing bandits. Once they discover bandits and robbers, the two of them will immediately lead their cavalry to kill them fiercely. This also makes
The security in the nearby area has improved a lot.
In troubled times, the richest people are of course the robbers and bandits who do business without capital. The supplies stored are enough for the cavalry, so every time they hear the appearance of bandits, they will become very excited.
Xu Rong and Duan Xuan knew that it was impossible to surrender to the Xiliang army, so they had to fight to the death. On the day when the city was short of food, the soldiers went out of the city after a good meal and formed an array to fight to the death with the Xiliang army.
The Xiliang army commanded by Zhao Yun plus the last sent by Jia Rong were about 10,000 people, and there were also 10,000 defenders in the city. The two sides were evenly matched.
This battle can be said to be the most intense one on the Bingzhou battlefield. The cavalry on both sides fought against the cavalry, and the infantry fought against the infantry. There was no conspiracy or trickery, it was a real fight, from sunrise to sunset. Under the setting sun, the word "Jia" appeared.
The flag was still raised high, but it was stained with a lot of blood.
Looking around, there were corpses everywhere on the battlefield, and the ground under their feet was dyed black. Xu Rong and Duan Xuan both died in the battle.
Xu Rong and Duan Xuan came out of the city for a decisive battle, but did not do anything drastic to the people in the city. After Zhao Yun buried the two men generously, he took over Jingling, appeased the people, and then supported Jia Rong.
The defenders of Dalingcheng were also forced by the grain and grass to surrender to the Xiliang army. At this time, in Bingzhou, only Jinyang was not in the hands of the Xiliang army, and the other counties and counties surrendered one after another.
Li Ru strengthened the defense of the city gate, especially some aristocratic families in the city, who became the primary target of prevention. Patrols and vigilant-looking soldiers could be seen everywhere on the streets. The successive rebellions not only made Li Ru anxious, but also whether the soldiers were doing well at night.
Where to go.
One moment they were comrades in arms, but in the next moment they were facing each other with swords and guns. Soldiers with little mental ability could almost go crazy in such an environment.
Anyway, as long as there is an order from the general, they should immediately draw their swords and attack. From the initial unbearable desire to kill themselves to the gradual adaptation, they felt numb.
The movements in the city have not escaped Jia Rong's eyes. Jinyang City can be said to be full of spies from the Xiliang Army. Jia Rong was born in the former Dong Zhuo Army. Li Ru must have eyes and ears in the Xiliang Army, but the men under Li Ru are also
It is separated from the Xiliang Army and is complicated and deeper than the Xiliang Army. Jia Rong knows exactly how long Li Ru patrols each time and where he goes.
Zhao Yun and others led the soldiers to Jinyang City. The battle in Bingzhou was coming to an end. The defenders in the city were already in a state of twilight. The continuous high-intensity siege made the defenders exhausted. The intensive rain of arrows and
Huge boulders attacked the city day and night.
Li Ru was also dizzy from the tedious work in the city. He had not rested for two days and two nights in a row. Li Ru's face looked strangely pale. When he walked out of the room, a ray of sunlight shone through and he felt very uncomfortable.
Wen Chou once again led an army of 20,000 to attack Dai County. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Yuan Shao handed over the first-death soldiers to Wen Chou's charge. Although Xu You felt bitter in his heart, he had to agree.
Contrary to Weilan's expectation, after the Jizhou army arrived at Dai County, they were not busy attacking. Instead, they set up camp with three floors inside and three floors outside. The sight of it made people's scalp numb. Only the antlers and other objects outside the camp made Weilan feel...
Tricky.
Xu You has a good idea. Since I can't defeat you, I will drag you to death. Anyway, Yuan Shao still has tens of thousands of troops in his hands. He only needs to capture Jixian and then send his army to Daijun. Under the siege of nearly a hundred thousand troops
, no matter how strong Weilan is, there is only one way to be destroyed.
After leading his army to challenge many times without success, Weilan seemed to understand the intention of the Jizhou Army and did not criticize it. He still sent generals to the Jizhou Army camp every day to scold and fight. Xu You could hold back, but it did not mean that Wen Chou would. The generals went to war.
, relying entirely on his passion, how could he be pointed at the nose and yelled at at the door every day?
Xu You's remonstrance was fruitless, so he had no choice but to agree. For the sake of propriety, he sent Ju Yi's soldiers who had died first to support Wen Chou.
