Chapter 15 Strength soaring

"Lord!" When Zhang Liao and others saw that Lv Bu was shot to death in front of them, they were stunned and then turned over and disembled together, surrounding Lv Bu's body and let out a sad voice. In the early summer morning, the dawn was fast. Not long after Zhang Liao and others cried, the surroundings began to gradually light up. General, our people are here!" At this time, a sharp-eyed cavalryman found several horses rushing to the west, and he saw that the equipment was a Bingzhou wolf horse.

"Master, military division, it's not good. Xiaopei was attacked. General Song Xian was captured, and only a few of us escaped from the 2,000 defenders." The person who came shouted wildly while whipping, and it was not until near that he found that Lv Bu had died on the ground.

"What?" Zhang Liao and Chen Gong looked at each other in front of each other, which was really one after another. Who attacked me, Xiaopei? Chen Gong asked loudly angrily. The person who reported the newsman sang for a long time and said, "I'm waiting for the news as hard as I can. I really don't know who it is."

"Huh?" Chen Gongzheng was so angry that he smoked. At this time, a clear voice came from the city: "My subordinate's army, Sima Xusheng, led more than a thousand people. After you left, he opened the gate of Xiaopei with Cao Bao, and then attacked Xiaopei. However, Chen Gongtai, it's too late for you to go back and take back Xiaopei now. Ten thousand elite soldiers of Sun Guan, the prime minister of Lu, should be coming here. It was Zhao Feng who spoke.

"What a cruel strategy!" After listening to Zhao Feng's words, Chen Gong and Zhang Liao couldn't help taking a breath. Originally, I thought I was sneaking up on others, but I didn't expect that they were calculated from beginning to end. In fact, since Cao Bao sent the letter, everything has been under Zhao Feng's control.

"General Zhang, Mr. Chen. The two are also the heroes of the world. General Zhang has always been loyal, and Mr. Chen left him because of Cao's indiscriminate killing of innocent people. I'd like to ask you two, who is Lv Bu? He killed Ding Yuan for the Red Rabbit and Dong Zhuo for the woman. He came to Xuzhou for me. We all thought he was a tiger and wolf, so we strongly advised the lord not to take him in. However, my master's house is kind-hearted. Gu Nian and others once relieved my siege in Xuzhou, so they not only took in Lv Bu, but also allowed him to station in Xiaopei, and there was no shortage of soldiers, money and grain. I don't want this wolf's ambition. This time, he took advantage of my lord's expedition and took the opportunity to attack me in Xuzhou. The two of you say with conscience, is he more than enough to die? Zhao Feng continued to say loudly that everyone in the city heard clearly and was silent for a moment.

Zhang Liao and Chen Gong looked at each other and felt speechless. At this time, Zhao Feng saw that the heat was almost ready, and quickly said, "The two of them are the heroes of the world. Although my lord is not here now, Feng is willing to guarantee with his surname. As long as the two are willing to surrender, my lord will not blame the past. Isn't it possible for you to turn to the Lord again and reunite with your family, killing two birds with one stone?

"Huh?" Zhang Liao was waiting to refute. Chen Gong had already taken his arm to stop him, and then sighed, "I'm willing to surrender!" Mr. Gongtai, what are you? Zhang Liao said urgently. I can't help it, Wen Yuan. Xiaopei has been lost, and everyone's family is in Xiaopei, and there is no intention to fight at all. Chen Gong pointed to the whispering soldiers behind him and said sadly.

"That's true." Zhang Liao was also silent when he saw it. Not only the soldiers, but also several of the eight generals have a change of expression and no fighting spirit. What's more, there are only thousands of horses around me now. Whether it's attacking Xuzhou or capturing Xiaopei, it's hard to do it. I'm waiting for you to surrender!" Zhang Liao also said, and then he and Chen Gong came off the horse to ask for surrender. The two of them took the lead, Zang Ba, Hou Cheng and others no longer held on, and they got off their horses one after another to ask for surrender.

With a "squeak", the gate of Xuzhou slowly opened again. Zhao Feng and Chen Deng led the army out, confiscated the weapons of Zhang Liao and others, and then escorted them down, waiting for Liu Bei to come back. As for Zhang Fei, er, he is still sleeping.

In the summer of 196 A.D., Lv Bu took advantage of Liu Bei's expedition to Yuzhou and wanted to attack Xuzhou at night with Cao Baoli, and was defeated by Zhonglang's design of Zhao Feng. Lv Bu himself was killed under the city, and his subordinates and Chen Gong all surrendered. Since then, the biggest internal trouble in Xuzhou has been eliminated.

At this time, Liu Bei, who was on an expedition in Yuzhou, heard Sun Qian's report. He was shocked and hurried back to the army and ordered Guan Hai to guard the State of Liang, and Mi Fang to guard the State of Pei. He, Guan Yu and Gao Shun led the army back at night. When he rushed to the territory of Lu, Sun Guan sent people to report that Xuzhou City was safe and sound. Lv Bu was killed, and all his men surrendered.

"I didn't want Bo Tao to be so calm that he raised his hand to kill Lv Bu." Liu Bei sighed that Gao Shun beside him heard that Lv Bu was dead, and he, who was already silent, had nothing to say.

In Xuzhou City, Zhang Fei, who had just woken up, quickly thanked Zhao Feng repeatedly after learning what had happened: "Little Zhao, it's really thanks to you, otherwise if Xuzhou is lost, my old Zhang will be really ashamed of my eldest brother. I really don't know how to thank you for helping me this time. If you want, it doesn't matter if I give you the title of Xinxiang Marquis!"

"The words of the three generals are heavy! Now that Xuzhou City has been settled, it still needs three generals to sit in the town to appease people's hearts. Mr. Gongyou has gone to report to the Lord, and he must be back in the evening. Zhao Feng looked at Zhang Fei with a grateful face in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, but he still said.

"That's it!" Zhang Fei is now absolutely convinced of Zhao Feng. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something else and quickly asked, "Is Lv Bu really dead?" After getting the affirmative answer from Zhao Feng and Chen Deng, Zhang Fei sighed sadly. Zhao Feng knew that it was a pity for losing his opponent.

In the evening, Liu Bei's army really arrived in Xuzhou. After everyone received the ceremony, Liu Bei listened to Zhao Feng and Chen Deng's description of the whole process in detail. After a sigh, Liu Bei first asked, "Where is Lv Bu's body?"

"It has been collected. It can only be buried when the lord comes back to see it." Chen Dengdao. Liu Bei nodded and said, "Lv Bu is also a hero of a generation. Since he is dead, let's bury him." After a pause, he said, "Since his subordinates are willing to surrender, I should treat them well." So the order was sent to Chen Gong and the eight generals to come. As for Gao Shun, after Liu Bei and Sun Qian's repeated persuasion on the way, coupled with these two months of getting along with each other, he has now surrendered by default.

Before long, Chen Gong and all nine other people were brought there. Liu Bei comforted him and promised to take good care of Lv Bu's family. Seeing that Liu Bei was still willing to treat them well, Chen Gong and others were all grateful. Liu Bei immediately appointed Chen Gong as Xuzhou, Zhang Liao and others were all partial generals, and immediately held a banquet. After a good drink, Zhang Liao and others were satisfied to return home and reunite with their families.

"Bao, I know everything about this. It's really thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I'm just afraid that my brothers will be homeless. Please accept my worship!" After the banquet, Liu Bei specially invited Zhao Feng to his house. After thanking him, he actually wanted to bow down. In panic, Zhao Feng hurriedly bowed down and helped him. Just kidding, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were all around. If they wanted to suffer this worship, they would not cut themselves.

"The Lord's words are heavy. I don't know what the Lord's situation is like in Yuzhou?" Zhao Feng was afraid that Lao Liu would come again, so he quickly changed the topic. We have captured the State of Pei, and the garrison Chen Lan was killed by me, and then calmed the State of Liang. Preparing to attack Qiao County again, Gongyou came to report the news, so he hurried back. Now Zhongfu stays in Peiguo to prevent Yuan Shu, and Zifang is stationed in Liangguo. Guan Yu's interface is on the side.

"That's good!" Zhao Feng was also very happy to hear that Liu Bei was so smooth. As long as the Pei Kingdom is down, the road to Yuzhou in the west will be opened. Although only the State of Liang has been beaten now, the pacation of other places such as Runan is also waiting.

"This wave has made a great contribution. If you don't appreciate it, it's hard to feel at ease. Well, I don't think Bo Tao has a place to live. He lives in the military camp. Now I'm giving you a house in the west of Xuzhou City. Liu Bei said in the end. Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Zhao Feng finally had to thank him and moved to his new house that night.

The next day, Zhao Feng and Guan Yu agreed on how to reorganize Lv Bu's surrender. According to Zhao Feng's intention, there are not many cavalry in Xuzhou, so the 4,000 wolf cavalry in the surrendered army should not be separated. It is better to be led directly by Zhang Fei or Guan Yu. Gao Shun's camp is also reserved and is still led by Gao Shun. As for the remaining 4,000 to 5,000 ordinary soldiers, they were still scattered and integrated into other units.

"It's so good!" Guan Yu also felt that there was nothing wrong with this, so he agreed. So after the agreement, he went to the government office to meet with Liu Bei. When he arrived there, he found that the newly surrendered Xuzhou didn't drive Chen Gong, who was also there. Seeing Guan Yu and Zhao Feng coming, Chen Gong was also a little embarrassed, and he quickly got up and bowed his hand to him.

"Hmm!" Guan Yu nodded and even if he said hello, Zhao Feng still bowed meticulously. Chen Gong smiled and said nothing more.

"Since you are all here, just say it bluntly. In the previous western expedition, we captured Pei and Liang, and even killed Chen Lan, the general of Yuan Shu. I'm afraid that Yuan Shu will attack me in Xuzhou sooner or later. I don't know what you think? Liu Bei asked first.

"Lord, Yuan Shu's heart to annex Xuzhou has long existed. In the past, it was said that Tao Fujun came to attack from time to time. However, although Xuzhou borders Huainan, as long as it guards the two places in Guangling, Yuan Shu will not be able to break through our Xuzhou. Now that Chen Yuanlong is sick here, he still needs to choose someone else to guard Guangling. First of all, Mi Zhu said that this word was also unanimously agreed by everyone.

"Not bad! Lord, although I am rich in Xuzhou, there are only more than 100,000 soldiers and horses now. Among them, General Guan Hai and General Mi Fang have taken away more than 30,000 people from Pei and Liang, and the remaining Xuzhou is only more than 90,000. Yuan Shu occupies the land of grain production in Huainan, and his soldiers and horses are no less than 200,000, so it is not a big victory with him now. Therefore, we'd better focus on guarding this year, wait until next month to recruit new recruits for training, and then fight with Yuan Shu next year. Although Chen Deng coughed repeatedly, he still insisted.

"What both of you said emphasize that this year needs to be guarded. In this case, Xu Sheng has been guarded now. I don't know who is willing to go to Guangling?" Liu Bei muttered. Liu Bei's courage is really not good. On the way back to the army, he met Xu Sheng when he passed Xiaopei. After learning that he had cheated Xiaopei, Liu Bei immediately determined that he was a rare general, and then let him hold Cao Bao's position to guard Xia Pi.

"The last general is willing to go!" One person got up and took the initiative to ask. Everyone looked at it, but it was Zhang Liao. Liu Bei was also stunned, and then asked with a smile, "I don't know how many soldiers and horses Wenyuan needs?"

"10,000 is enough!" Zhang Liao was full of self-confidence. Liu Bei was stunned and then laughed and said, "Okay, I'll go to guard Guangling with 10,000 people."

"Lord!" Jian Yong and Sun Qian said in a hurry at the same time. Although they did not continue, the meaning was obvious: Zhang Liao was a newcomer. How could he be allowed to guard such an important town as Guangling?

"Master, General Wen Yuan is both civil and military, brave and resourceful, and can protect Guangling." At this time, Zhao Feng got up and said, Zhang Liao looked at Zhao Feng unexpectedly, but there was something unclear in his eyes. So Liu Bei made a make-or-de-de-de-de-de, and agreed to let Zhang Liao guard Guangling.

"General Zhao thinks highly of me, Zhang Liao, but I don't know why?" After everyone dispersed, Zhang Liao pulled Zhao Feng and asked as he walked.

"What else can I do? It's just that heroes cherish heroes!" Zhao Feng seemed to smile boldly, and Zhang Liao was even more subdued. But he didn't know how Zhao Feng calculated in his heart: In history, Zhang Liao resisted Sun Quan's 100,000 troops with 7,000 people in Hefei. Now if he can't even handle Yuan Shu, Zhao Feng's Romance of the Three Kingdoms is in vain.
