After the army had lunch, they packed up and cleaned the battlefield.

It was not until the afternoon that the army regrouped and headed towards Pengcheng.

Pengcheng is the capital of Xuzhou. Cao Cao originally attacked Pengcheng for half a year, but now he doesn't know how long it will take.

Li Pu actually wanted to attack the city at night last night, but the soldiers fought several battles in succession. By the time the army was assembled and rushed to Pengcheng, the people in the city had already woken up.

It is better to let the army rest for a night and then take it slow, since Liu Bei has already fled anyway.

According to the soldiers who reported back, Liu Bei went all the way south without even looking back.

Until now, the soldiers who went to pursue the enemy have not returned.

It seems that he is heading towards Jingzhou. Now Jingzhou and Sun Ce are at war. Jingzhou is defeated by Sun Ce, and Yangzhou has been occupied by Sun Ce. If he goes to Liu Cong, he will be accepted by Liu Cong.

It was a good place to go. Li Pu smiled and continued on his way.

No matter what he did, Guan Yu made Li Pu a little confused about how to arrange it.

As they walked along, what surprised Li Pu was that the two hundred miles journey was like traveling through mountains and rivers.

We didn't encounter any ambushes along the way, and the gates of the cities we passed were all open, with no signs of resistance.

When they arrived at Pengcheng, Li Pu found that Pengcheng also had its city gates wide open.

A group of soldiers stood on both sides of the city gate, holding not weapons but various books and seals.

Among them were three people, wearing Confucian crowns, standing in the center of the city gate.

Li Pu took a closer look. Isn't this one of the three people who came up to talk with Liu Bei last night?

Of the three people he talked to last night, one ran away and one is dead. It seems that the remaining one is preparing to surrender.

"Chen Deng, the humble captain of Xuzhou Diannong School, pays homage to General Pan." Chen Deng took the Xuzhou seal from the soldier, held it in his hand, and walked forward slowly to present it to Li Pu.

"Chen Deng, I saw you and Xuande together yesterday, why do I only see you and not Xuande today?" Li Pu said with a hint of smile.

"Humble job...humble job..."

Chen Deng looked embarrassed. After all, abandoning his old master and joining someone else was indeed an unethical thing to do.

After following Liu Bei for just two steps last night, Chen Deng remembered that he was not Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei was defeated at the hands of Li Pu, there was nothing left to say in Xuzhou.

But he is different. He, Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong, is a local powerful man in Xuzhou. If he runs away with Liu Bei, the accumulation of his Chen family in several lifetimes will be lost.

In this case, why not switch to a new owner?

If he surrenders on his own initiative, even if he spends thousands of gold to buy horse bones, he, Pan Feng, will give him a high position, so that those who come after him can see that following him, Pan Feng will enjoy glory and wealth.

It has to be said that Chen Deng guessed correctly. This is the first famous local wealthy family in Xuzhou to voluntarily surrender since entering Xuzhou. Naturally, Li Pu will not treat him harshly.

After taking one look at Chen Deng's stumbling expression, I felt funny in my heart.

"Well, I heard that you like to eat fish and clams. In that case, you can go to Langye and serve as the prefect. There are a lot of fresh fish in the Yishui River, which can satisfy you."

Li Pu patted Chen Deng's shoulder with a smile on his face. Lai Wen behind him stepped forward to take the seal from Chen Deng's hand, and followed Li Pu towards the city.

After taking two steps, Li Pu seemed to remember something.

"Yuanlong, are all Xuande's family members here?"

Since Liu Bei ran away overnight last night, it was naturally impossible for him to take his family with him.

"General, don't worry, Liu Bei's family members are all here."

Chen Deng looked like he was trying to please. There was nothing they could do about it. Whoever became the Mu of Xuzhou was his lord. Now that the new lord took office, he naturally wanted to please him.

What's more, he heard that his new boss had taken advantage of all the strategies he had come up with before.

If all the tricks of this level were devoured, the others would have perished a long time ago.

His new boss was simply killed.

Especially at the last moment, when he was surrounded by military formations, he had to fight his way out.

Everyone who was killed surrendered, and the scene of the torches on the battlefield being lowered appeared again before their eyes.

"That's good, let's bring Guan Yu." An idea appeared in Li Pu's mind.

The walls of Pengcheng are covered with pits and wounds, and blood stains can still be seen faintly between some bricks.

This is the trace left by Cao Cao when he attacked Pengcheng. Li Pu entered the city and climbed onto the city wall.

Rolls of wood, stones, and bundles of arrows were piled everywhere on the city wall.

It seemed that these things were no longer needed. Li Pu picked up a bundle of arrows and took one out.

The arrow shaft is not very straight, it can be seen that it was made in a hurry.

After patrolling the city wall, I found that there was no ambush or anything like that. I put my own troops on the wall and then got off the city wall.

…………

"Yunchang! What are you doing? Untie Yunchang quickly! You can go get twenty military sticks later." Li Pu was shocked when he saw the soldiers escorting the tied Guan Yu into the Xuzhou government office.

"General, it's not our fault. Once General Guan is loosened, General Guan will seek death. We are really helpless."

After hearing this, Li Pu still didn't understand.

"You guys, please go down first."

Li Pu waved his hand, and several soldiers let go of Guan Yu, said goodbye to Li Pu and went down.

Li Pu stepped forward and untied the rope that bound Guan Yu, and separated from Guan Yu.

"Yun Chang, why are you doing this?"

"The defeated general, I am ashamed to face my elder brother, and I have no face to see my elder brother again, General Pan. Now I just want to die quickly!"

"Does General Guan know that I have captured Xuzhou and Xuande has abandoned the city?"

"I know that this happened all because of my greed for success. If we wait for eldest brother to come and we join forces, we will win the battle. It's all because of me that eldest brother lost Xuzhou."

Li Pu watched Guan Yu blame himself, and his expression gradually became stern.

"Shut up! You and the three brothers were sworn brothers in Taoyuan and were famous all over the world. They didn't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but they wanted to die in the same year, the same month and the same day. The words are still ringing in my ears!"

"Now that you are going to die alone, where will brothers Xuande and Yide be?"

"I..." Guan Yu was stunned.

"Now that Xuande's family is in Xuzhou City, why doesn't Chang Yun save Xuande's family first and then talk about other things?"

Guan Yu thought for a long time and sighed.

Li Pu understood that this matter was serious.

"Now that the people of our country are in trouble, and the surrounding barbarians have invaded the country many times, there are so many people in the world who are living as flesh and blood for the common people. Is Yun Chang willing to die like this?"

"I……"

"What kind of hero can a man be if he only wants to die? Now the Bingzhou Qiang and Huns invaded the border with the Huns. The Yide brothers have been fighting with the Hus for a year, but they have not been able to win. If Ruoyun Chang is not good enough, go to Bingzhou and kill the Huns with the Yide brothers in one day.

How about protecting our Han people?"

"I……"

"Yun Chang! Brotherly love is private! Kill Hu Kou Gong! Why does Yun Chang not distinguish between public and private affairs? Even Xuande would agree with Yunchang's decision today when he heard that Yun Chang sacrificed his little one for the big one because of the Huns' invasion.
