Chapter seventy-four, first entry into Hebei
Young General Yuan Jun felt extremely aggrieved, but he had no choice now. Fighting with a mortal body and a metal spear was undoubtedly seeking death. The only way to avoid this blow was to dodge it. Even so, the short halberd he just held in his hand could no longer be used.
You have to be pushed back for a while, and then you look for an opportunity to fight back.
However, the young general Yuan Jun could not hold it alone, and the guards around him surrounded him at this time. Some were directly attracted by Cao Xing's confidants and fought with him, while others were determined to identify Cao Xing without hesitation.
Sex wants to besiege him
At this time, Cao Xing suddenly felt a surge of pride. He unconsciously thought of the Battle of Hulao, which he had never experienced. He was fascinated by the many legends of Marquis Wen, especially the generals who fought alone against the coalition forces.
The boldness of being the enemy of the whole world makes Cao Xing excited just thinking about it
Although the situation he faced at this time was incomparable to Lu Bu's time, as a marksman, he was more often used as a long-range or commander of the army rather than in personal group combat. Now he also wants to try this feeling.
He felt that every cell in his body seemed to be active, and his eyes flashed with dangerous light. The spear was like a dormant poisonous snake, and when it was struck out, blood would be seen. General Yuan Jun and several guards
Together they besieged Cao Xing, but they were beaten to pieces by Cao Xing, who became more and more courageous as he fought, leaving him in a state of embarrassment.
In addition, at this time, most of Cao Xing's confidants had defeated his opponents. Although they all had some modest successes, after all, in terms of strength, it was obvious that they were overall better. At this time,
They all gathered around to help Cao Xing cut off the guards of General Yuan Jun.
In the end, only the young general was left. At this time, he was attacked by a sneak attack and fell to the ground without holding on to his short halberd. Cao Xing's spear forcefully slapped him off the horse's back and hit him on the ground. His two elbows turned back
He held on to his body and was about to get up again when he felt a cold feeling on his neck. He looked up and saw Cao Xing's cold pupils, but there didn't seem to be the murderous intention he expected.
"What's your name?" Cao Xing patted his head at this time, thinking that he didn't even know the other person's name, and he was really confused just now.
The young general Yuan Jun simply held his head high. Under this situation, he seemed to be unwilling to give in and admit defeat. Of course, he did not resist answering the question, but he said in a stubborn tone: "Is it true that the military governors under the command of General Yuan Benchu of the Han Dynasty are engaged in recruitment?"
…
On this day in June of the second year of Chuping, when the breath of summer gradually filled this northern frontier land, I don’t know when the people who represented "Yuan" or "General Hanwei" on the city wall of Mayi County, where the seat of Yanmen County was located, appeared
All the banners were removed and replaced with banners with the word "Lü" or "Marquis Wen".
This change happened almost quietly, that is, overnight, the people in Mayi City discovered that the army guarding them was no longer Yuan Shao's army, but became Lu Bu's army, which they were not unfamiliar with.
Especially since Zhang Liao, Lu Bu's general, was a local, he felt much closer to him psychologically and emotionally. Especially when Yan Liang was in Mayi, he was not very popular. His temper was not only direct, but even a little arrogant, it might also be because
Affected by the depression of Yuan Shao's assignment, being a local emperor in this place will naturally not do anything good. Although it is not harmful to nature, some measures have also caused a certain amount of public resentment. At this time, changing a ruler is what they want.
To a certain extent, this is also a kind of sadness for these people. They always place their hopes on others. They place their hopes on others and that another person will be better than the current person, but they never think of rising up to resist.
Of course, this is a good thing for Lu Bu. The local people in Mayi can accept him, and basically the entire Yanmen County will not reject him. This is a great benefit for him to accept this county.
After all, Yanmen County is different from Dingxiang and Yunzhong counties. Not only is the place small, but the population is not large. There are a lot of people here, and it is self-evident what population means in the cold weapon era.
Similarly, if I want to enter Hebei next time, this will also become an important stepping stone and springboard for me.
The reason why Ma Yi changed its banner overnight was thanks to what Yan Liang's lieutenant told him before leading his troops to follow Yan Liang.
Do not open the city gate without permission
Lu Bu and the others didn't know this. After all, the deputy general had been ambushed by rocks in the valley and was reduced to a pulp. However, Lu Bu asked Zhang Liao to disguise himself as Yan Liang at dusk and come to defraud the city.
Speaking of which, Zhang Liao's body shape is similar to that of Yan Liang. From this point of view, the two are 70-80% similar. What's even better is that their voices are also somewhat similar. Especially in the Saibei area, the wind is stronger at night. This is somewhat
It also covered up some flaws, and the dim light in the night added a bit of ambiguity. Without letting the defenders on the city discover the truth, they believed Zhang Liao to be Yan Liang who had returned from victory. Without much thought, he opened it directly.
city gate
They realized something was wrong as soon as the city gate opened, but it was already too late. Zhang Liao led thousands of soldiers behind him and rushed in without giving the other side a chance to regret. After entering the city, when they saw Yuan Jun's soldiers, they just killed, kill, kill.
Lu Bu is not a murderous person, nor does he advocate that war must increase too much killing, but sometimes he has no shortage of decisive killings when necessary. The garrison in Mayi City has been stationed by Yuan Shao for more than half a year.
The troops who came over, the people who were originally under Lu Bu's command here have long been driven away by Yuan Shao's men. The soldiers and horses here can even be said to be enemies.
Of course, this does not mean that he will kill them all, so after a bloody massacre when they first entered the city, Lu Bu began to recruit and surrender. After learning that Yan Liang was dead and leaderless, and the situation was stronger than the others, the Mayi defenders naturally could not help but
What kind of resistance will there be? A peaceful transition to surrender.
Because Lu Bu strictly ordered his soldiers to be restrained, this incident did not cause any panic among the people in Mayi City. Many people did not even discover that so many things had happened last night until the next morning.
The people here have no sense of belonging to Yuan Shao and the others, and the soldiers brought by Yan Liang are mostly from Hebei, and they are far less friendly than the "fellows" from Bingzhou brought by Lu Bu, and Lu Bu is famous throughout Bingzhou.
They will not feel unfamiliar with the flying general. Even if they cannot say that they welcome his arrival with both hands and feet, they are still happy to see it happen.
This kind of replacement passed in a strange calmness. Yuan Shaojun had been operating here for several months, but in the end it disappeared overnight without leaving many traces.
Of course it's not complete. For example, the head of Yan Liang, the general under Yuan Shao's command, was hung on the city gate of Mayi at this time.
Originally, Lu Bu did not want to use such inhumane and bloody methods, but some of the remnants of Yuan's army in Mayi City were unexpectedly stubborn, especially those confidants who Yan Liang left in the city, or those who were loyal to Yuan Shao, all of which created trouble for him.
Although most of the minor troubles have been eliminated, there is no guarantee that some smart people will not hide temporarily.
Even if their power is very small and they cannot make any big waves, if they don't rely on this to scare them now, there will be no guarantee that there will be any trouble in this temporary rear when they are about to enter Hebei. We will consider these things at that time, but
