After Xu Shu led his army to capture Xuzhou, he stationed himself in Pengcheng, the seat of Pengcheng State. Since Wang Can led the army to the north and transferred all the civil servants and generals such as Gan Ning, Taishi Ci, Zhang Liao, Huang Xu, etc., there were not many people left for Xu Shu.
.The only one who was good at fighting was Zhou Tai. Most of the other generals were people who had served under Sun Quan before. Even though they were brave, they were not able to handle important tasks.
On the tower, Xu Shu, Zhou Tai and Zhu Huan were sitting in the room.
Zhou Tai had an angry look on his face and said angrily: "Master Xu, Xia Houyuan has led his army to Xuzhou and has attacked Pengcheng again and again. If we defend to the death, it is not an option if we continue like this!"
Xiahou Yuan left Yecheng and returned to Qingzhou, then led his army south to attack Xuzhou.
Because the main force of the Shu Kingdom was in the north and the troops remaining in Xuzhou were slightly weaker, and Xu Shu had only two capable generals, Zhou Tai and Zhu Huan, under his command, he did not go to war and instead defended Pengcheng.
As long as Xu Shu defends Pengcheng, Xia Houyuan will have to stay here.
Zhu Huan looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Master Xu, there is a war in Xuzhou. I am afraid that Cao Ren of Yuzhou has also moved, so the situation in Yuzhou is not stable. We can hold it, but the situation in Yuzhou is worrying."
Xu Shu did not look panicked and said with a smile: "Don't worry, General Zhu. I have ordered the governor of Lujiang, Lu Xun, to go north and temporarily take charge of the overall situation in Yuzhou. Although Lu Xun is young, he is full of strategies and can stabilize the situation."
Zhou Tai still didn't believe it and asked, "Can you stop Cao Ren?"
Xu Shu said: "Lu Xun is the governor of Lujiang appointed by His Majesty, and Lu Kang is behind him, so it is absolutely possible. Besides, there has been no news from Yuzhou for so long, which shows that Yuzhou has not been captured by Cao Ren. What I am worried about is not Yuzhou, but
This is a war situation in the north. I hope your Majesty will put an end to the war outside the Great Wall as soon as possible."
Zhou Tai sighed and said: "We still have to defend, this battle is really frustrating."
Hearing this, Xu Shu had a look of helplessness on his face.
He also wanted to send out troops to fight, but without results in the north, he could not send out all his troops.
"Report!!"
Outside the house, a soldier suddenly ran in. The soldier held a note in his hand and quickly ran to Xu Shu and handed the note to Xu Shu. Xu Shu waved the soldier away, and then quickly read the contents of the note.
, with a bright smile on his face, and said: "Good news, your Majesty has wiped out Xianbei and won a great victory. Zhao Yun also led his army to defeat Wuhuan and won. Now both your Majesty and Zhao Yun have led their troops to sweep Youzhou and begin to attack Jizhou.
.”
Zhou Tai raised his eyebrows and asked, "What about Lao Gan?"
Xu Shu shook his head and said: "There is no news yet, I guess he is still fighting with the Huns."
Zhu Huan's eyes flashed and he said: "Master Xu, your Majesty has achieved a great victory, and the war in the north has come to an end. We don't need to consider sending troops north to support your Majesty. We can mobilize the army to fight a tough battle with Xia Houyuan."
Xu Shu nodded and said: "General Zhu's words are exactly what I want. I have always been worried about the unfavorable situation in the northern war, so I left some soldiers not to go to war to ensure that they can support your majesty at any time. Now that we have no worries, let's have a good fight with Xia Houyuan. Let's see
We can see whether Xiahou Yuan's Qingzhou soldiers are more powerful or our Xuzhou soldiers are more powerful."
"Boom! Boom!!"
Suddenly, the sound of powerful war drums came from outside the city.
Zhou Tai suddenly stood up, smiled, and said: "Xia Houyuan has brought an army to attack the city again. Mr. Xu, please order the mobilization of the army stationed in the city. This time, I, Zhou Tai, will lead the army to fight. I must kill him."
Take off Xia Houyuan's head and use his head to pay homage to the dead hero's soul."
Xu Shu ordered: "Zhu Huan, you follow me to seize the formation on the city tower. Zhou Tai will lead the soldiers in the city to meet the enemy."
The three of them left the house and came to the tower.
Zhou Tai turned around and got off the tower and ran towards the city. Xu Shu and Zhu Huan stood above. They looked around and saw Xia Houyuan leading the army to slowly kill. The drums were beating like thunder, and the shouts of killing were everywhere, showing the indomitable spirit of moving forward.
momentum.
Xu Shu was extremely excited, now was the time to counterattack.
Zhu Huan stared at Xia Houyuan's position and was quite excited. He had been suppressed for a long time, and now he could finally fight a tough battle without having to endure it like before.
"Crunch!!"
Under the city tower, the city gate is wide open.
Zhou Tai led a vanguard army to rush out and rushed out quickly.
Zhou Tai shouted excitedly and kept waving the sword in his hand. The soldiers behind him were also very excited. The Wei army continuously attacked the city, but these soldiers could only stay in the city to practice and could not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
Many soldiers held their breath for meritorious service. Now that they can follow Zhou Tai to fight out, they are like wild horses running wild.
Xia Houyuan led his army towards the city tower and was surprised when he saw the city gate open.
Unexpectedly, Xu Shu, who had been defending, took the initiative to fight.
Xia Houyuan immediately ordered the soldiers at the front holding the ladder to retreat, and asked the soldiers behind to rush forward.
At this time, a burly man stood up, cupped his fists and said: "Grand Governor, I will go and kill Zhou Tai." This man was in his early thirties, his eyes were shining, and there was a strong fighting spirit in his eyes. This
His name was Zang Ba, and he was originally a tyrant in Qingzhou. He was later recruited by Cao Cao and became a general under Cao Cao.
Historically, in order to save his father, Zang Ba led his men to hijack a prison car and fled to the East China Sea with his father.
During the Yellow Turban Uprising, Zang Ba surrendered to Tao Qian, but he, Sun Guan, Wu Dun and others gathered in the Kaiyang area and became the overlord. When Lu Bu entered Xuzhou, Zang Ba surrendered to Lu Bu again and became Lu Bu.
One of the eight strong generals, Lu Bu was later annihilated by Cao Cao's army, and Zang Ba surrendered to Cao Cao.
Because of Wang Can, Lu Bu died early, and Zang Ba became Cao Cao's general early.
Xia Houyuan looked at Zang Ba who was eager to try, and ordered: "Xuan Gao, Zhou Taiwu is brave and fierce, you must deal with it carefully."
Zang Ba smiled and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, the general will definitely take Zhou Tai and present it to the Commander-in-Chief." After the words fell, Zang Ba led his army and rushed forward to meet Zhou Tai's army.
Both of them are fierce-tempered, strong-willed and domineering, and their martial arts are also on the line of fierceness.
The two armies fought, and Zang Ba and Zhou Tai also fought each other. Zang Ba brandished his big gun and shouted with all his strength: "Zhou Tai, son, Zang Ba of Mount Tai is here, and I will take your dog's head today."
When Zhou Tai heard this, he became furious and slashed at Zang Ba with his sword.
A silvery-white bolt passed by and collided with Zang Ba's big gun, making a loud clang. When the two fought, they were evenly matched, and there was no winner. Zang Ba held the big gun and licked his lips.
, with a look of excitement on his face, he shouted: "As expected of a general of the Shu army, he has some skills, just look at the gun."
Zhou Tai sneered twice and faced him with a sword.
The two of them fought so hard that after more than thirty kills, the winner was still not decided. The soldiers who were fighting in a melee not far away from Zhou Tai and Zang Ba were also red-eyed and fought hysterically. The soldiers on both sides were furious.
He is strong and brave, and when he kills people, he is even more bloody. Although the fight is very simple, either slashing with a knife or killing with a sneak attack, it is fierce and fierce.
"I killed three people, which is enough to make a profit."
A Shu army soldier covered his left chest, which was bleeding continuously, roared, and fell to the ground with a bang.
The same thing happened to Cao Jun.
The soldiers on both sides roared and kept slashing with their swords, all in order to kill more people. The two armies were evenly matched, and the situation on the battlefield was extremely stalemate, with no winner or loser. In addition, Xiahou Yuan did not send more troops to fight,
And Xu Shu did not ask anyone to support Zhou Tai. Instead, Zhou Tai and the soldiers led by Zang Ba fought fiercely, but the impact was not large.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
When Zhou Tai and Zang Ba were fighting fiercely, the excited sound of gongs was heard.
Zang Ba forced Zhou Tai back with one move and shouted: "Zhou Tai, I'll spare your life this time, but I'll kill you next time." He didn't understand why Xia Houyuan withdrew his troops, but he carried it out resolutely, leading his soldiers to retreat in an orderly manner.
withdraw.
Zhou Tai led his army to pursue and kill him, then withdrew his troops and returned.
A great war has come to an end for the time being.
Zang Ba was extremely depressed. After he returned with his soldiers, he quickly came to Xia Houyuan's side, clasped his fists and asked: "Grand Governor, when the last general and Zhou Tai are fighting fiercely, why did you order the withdrawal of the troops?"
