Chapter 121: Lu Ji

But his head did not fall. It turned out that Chen Qiang called Wang Qiang from a distance,

"The sword will save you."

Lu Su was spared. Chen Qiang said excitedly

"Tie them up."

At this point, all three Jiangdong giants were arrested.

Zhu Heng and his two men followed Sun Quan's escape direction all the way here. When they saw that Sun Quan and his three men had been captured, Zhu Heng hurriedly shouted and let go of my lord. After saying this, he and Zhu Ran rushed forward without hesitation.

But it was of no use. Who is Chen Qiang? He knew that you were very brave, so how could you challenge him in a duel? Chen Qiang relied on the large number of people and calmly ordered the archers to shoot at Er Zhu.

The arrows were flying in dense numbers, and Er Zhu could only curse Chen Qiang for being despicable. But he had no choice but to pick up his weapons and call out the arrows. But after all, they were not first-rate warriors, and even if they were, they would just treat him one more time.

Facing the rain of arrows, it was useless even if the Overlord came. Sure enough, the two of them were shot through the body in a few strokes. In this way, the two fierce generals finally lost their lives for loyalty. This scene happened to be captured by Zhang Brown who came later.

Seeing this, Zhang Zong couldn't help but lamented:

"This Chen Qiang is really a waste of natural resources, such a fierce general..."

Danyang County

As several armies dispersed, not long after, the four thousand army led by Gan Ning took the lead and arrived at Danyang City.

As Gan Ning's four thousand troops gathered below the city, their flags were spread out like rolling clouds, their shouts were like thunder, and their murderous aura was as fierce as the earth's destruction. Seeing this scene, the remaining defeated soldiers in Danyang City could not help but feel frightened.

In the past, the people of Danyang had only heard how insidious and cunning Liu Jun was. Now, they finally saw it with their own eyes, but he was not the villain in the legend. Now, at a glance, the Lujiang Army was brave and their morale was even higher.

There is no battle yet, but the momentum alone is so terrifying!

Only at this moment did they realize that Liu Jun was not as vulnerable as advertised.

War? Surrender? The remaining defeated generals in Danyang were all thinking about this question. They wanted to surrender, but this was simply not a decision they could make.

"General Gan, give the order to attack the city! Let me be the vanguard this time!" Commander Wei Gao impatiently requested the order.

After Wei Gao asked for battle, all the generals also clasped their fists and asked for orders to go out.

Gan Ning raised his head and glanced at the defenders on top of the city. He did not immediately express his stance. Instead, he looked at the white-faced scholar Lu Ji beside him with questioning eyes. Gan Ning did not know this Lu Ji very well, but Gan Ning was very fond of him.

The respect is not because this person is the new head of the Lu family, but because Liu Xun personally told him that this Lu Ji is a rare talent and you can discuss problems with him.

Logically speaking, Lu Ji would never be trusted by Liu Xun. But Liu Xun knew that he had offended all the wealthy families in Lujiang County, and now that the land had been taken away, if he didn't give them some way to survive, he would really have to kill them.

He was forced to go to Liangshan. After thinking about it, Liu Xun still made a breakthrough and absorbed some talents and character.

The children of the aristocratic family with excellent temperament enriched the civil service system. Lu Ji had a majestic appearance, erudite knowledge, and was involved in stargazing, calendaring, arithmetic, and Yi Zhan. He was also loyal and reliable. Faced with Liu Xun's lack of talents, he was naturally in short supply.

.But the prerequisite is that the cause of Lu Xun's death will be rotten in his stomach forever.

"Lu Ji, what do you think?" As Gan Ning finished speaking, the generals' eyes immediately turned to young Lu Ji.

Lu Ji smiled slightly and said: "Report to the general, I have four thousand lion troops approaching the city. Previously, Jiangdong Army's tens of thousands of troops were almost wiped out. Now the Danyang army and people must have been frightened. Instead of attacking the city immediately, it is better to send an army first.

Yuan Xiao will shoot a letter of surrender into the city, and there may be unexpected gains."

Gan Ning nodded, feeling that what Lu Ji said made sense. However, before Gan Ning could speak, Wei Gao, a general with a thousand men on the side, spoke first. "Sir, why bother? Let me lead my troops directly to attack the city.

Isn't it simple?" Lu Ji's official position in Gan Ning's army was staff officer, but his generals used to call him sir.

Lu Ji smiled and said: "General, you are brave. It is easy to attack Danyang. But has General ever thought about attacking a fortified city with brute strength and courage? The casualties of the soldiers will be very heavy. Now that we have a sure chance of victory, why increase the casualties in vain."

Besides, the lord promised when he came that the soldiers and people in the city will be our soldiers and people from now on. Isn’t a fierce attack now tantamount to engaging in internal strife with one’s own people?”

What Lu Ji said was very reasonable. When Wei Gao heard this, he stepped aside dejectedly and said nothing.

Gan Ning glanced at Wei Gao, who was shrugging his head, and said, "Just do as Mr. Lu Ji said, Wei Gao."

Hearing Gan Ning call his name, Wei Gao immediately perked up and hurriedly stepped out of the queue to face Gan Ning, clasping his fists and saying, "General, what are your orders?"

Gan Ning smiled and said, "You will go to the city to challenge us later and shoot a surrender letter into the city."

Wei Gao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately clasped his fists and shouted: "Thank you, General! I will ensure that the mission is completed."

At this moment, the Danyang Army officers and soldiers on the city wall were nervously watching Liu Jun's army in full glory below the city. Suddenly, a horse rode out from the opponent's formation and headed straight for the south gate. All the Danyang Army officers and soldiers suddenly raised their hearts in their throats.

At this moment, the crossbowmen bent their bows and pointed their arrows at the horse.

The horse went straight to the city wall, only fifty steps away, and then held down the horse. At this time, the Danyang Army officers on the city wall saw the opponent's face clearly. They saw a black-faced, burly man standing proudly holding the reins. This man was not

The other person was none other than Liu Xun's commander Wei Gao.

"I am Wei Gao, who dares to fight with me!" Wei Gao stood up with his sword drawn, his momentum like a rainbow.

Of course there are real heroes in the Jiangdong Army. Seeing that Wei Gao underestimated them, some were naturally dissatisfied. After a moment, the city gate suddenly opened, and a general from the Danyang Army rushed out with his sword in hand.

The general came to stand twenty steps in front of Wei Gao's horse, stood still, and said loudly: "I am Danyang..." However, before he could finish speaking, Wei Gao interrupted him rudely, "Nonsense! Measuring you.

He is just a nobody. If you dare to come out and die, then come here!",

Wei Gao's tone was extremely arrogant. The Danyang general's face turned red with anger, his eyes widened. He immediately stopped talking nonsense, urged his horse, wielded his sword, and rushed towards Wei Gao while shouting wildly.

Wei Gao sat leisurely on the horse, his eyes full of disdain.

The war drums of both sides beat almost at the same time, and the roaring drums made everyone's blood boil. Then the soldiers on both sides couldn't help but shout loudly.

The Danyang general seemed to be infected by the fanatical atmosphere. The speed of his horse unknowingly increased a bit, and he shouted even more excitedly.

The distance of twenty steps was reached in an instant for the war horse, and the Danyang general had already rushed to Wei Gao. The Danyang soldier raised his sword high and slashed straight at Wei Gao's head.

Seeing this scene, the Danyang Army officers and soldiers standing on the city wall watching the battle instantly showed extremely excitement.

The light of the sword flashed, and the Danyang Army officers took a closer look, but were surprised to find that the sword of their own warrior had stopped a few inches above the opponent's head. Looking closer, everyone's faces suddenly turned pale. It turned out that their general

A ferocious blade tip was exposed from the back of his neck, and the cold light and blood light reflected each other.

Just before the Danyang Army officers could react, their general was picked up by the opponent again. The big knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and he tightly grasped the big knife inserted into his neck with both hands, kicking his feet in the air.

One kick, and then there was no movement.

Wei Gao raised the corner of his mouth and smiled coldly, then swung his sword and threw the dead Danyang warrior to the ground. Then he pointed his sword at the city wall and shouted: "Who dares to fight with me!"

The officers and soldiers of the Danyang Army suddenly turned pale and looked at each other for a while. No one dared to fight again. The general who just went to battle was already a warrior in the Danyang Army, but he could not make a single move under his opponent. The officers and soldiers of the Danyang Army couldn't help but feel shocked.

, and morale plummeted as a result.

When the general Lu Fan saw this, he couldn't help being furious and wanted to go out to fight in person to wipe out their prestige. But when he saw Gan Ning holding the battle not far away, he couldn't help but hesitate. He knew that he was the last hope in the city. If he died, the city would be destroyed.

I can't hold on anymore.

After Lu Fan thought about it carefully, he finally decided rationally and did not go out of the city to fight. After all, Wei Gao in front of him was okay, and Lu Fan had absolute confidence, but he had fought against Gan Ning behind him, so he naturally knew that he was definitely no match.

It would be so embarrassing if we were to fight in front of two armies and lose.

Wei Gao immediately stood under the city wall and shouted for a long time, but no one dared to come out of the city to challenge. Wei Gao couldn't help but feel a little bored, so he raised his voice: "A bunch of cowards! Since you don't dare to fight, why not open the city and surrender early!"

,

Then he took out a big bow and a sharp arrow with a letter of surrender tied to it as if no one was watching, and shot the letter of surrender on the city wall, and then shot more than a dozen sharp arrows with a letter of surrender tied to it. After that, Wei Gao went back to the formation.

.

These letters of surrender from Wei Gaoshe were all written by Lu Ji, and their content was nothing more than inducement and intimidation. Under the current situation, the role of these letters of surrender cannot be underestimated.

Wei Gaojun's surrender letter shot on the city wall soon caused a commotion. Although these letters were quickly confiscated by the superiors, the soldiers speculated about their contents, and the morale of the army became even more turbulent.

Wei Gao rode his horse back, came to Gan Ning, cupped his fists and said to Gan Ning: "General, what I did is not bad!", his tone was quite proud.

Gan Ning laughed, "General Wei is so brave, he must have scared the Danyang army out of fear!"

Wei Gao burst into laughter.

"Lu Ji, what should we do next?" Gan Ning turned to ask Lu Ji who was standing aside.

Lu Ji said without thinking: "As the saying goes, when a tree falls, the monkeys will scatter. Although Lu Fan is not afraid of death, there will naturally be some villains around him who are greedy for life and afraid of death. Today's letter from the general who went deep into the city has already shown his attitude. If I don't expect it,
Chapter completed!
