Chapter 230 Youzhou Army
Zhao Yun gave some tips to the three of them. The four of them fought for a quarter of an hour. The three of them were so tired that they were sweating all over. Pu Feng, Cao Ping, and Lu Tong could not get along with Zhao Yun's side.
The beef was ready, and everyone started eating beef. Zhao Yunlu's trick was immediately different. The deputy generals respected him a lot. The army emphasized the strong as respect. Lu Bu wanted to promote Zhao Yun without revealing his martial arts. Someone was gossiping about it.
Of course, martial arts are only one aspect, and military achievements are another aspect.
The next morning, he sent troops early, and there was Shunkou City within a few miles. Shunkou was not as good as Jizhou, and the small gate was at the same time. The big banner with the word "Tian" fluttered in the wind on the city wall. The guardian Tian Yu cursed on the city tower: "Zhao Yun actually colluded with outsiders to plot the lord's property."
Zhao Yun said loudly: "The lord has been killed by Ju Yi, and the main force fled. Wen Hou is a lord friend and was invited to help the battle. But he never thought that the lord has been killed. Youzhou is in chaos, and the suffering is only the people. The alien race has begun to burn and kill. Please ask General Tian to understand the general, take the overall situation into consideration, and join Xuzhou together."
Tian Yu had long been informed that not only Gongsun Zan was gone, but also Gongsun Fan was gone. As for that Gongsun Yue had no close relationship with his lord.
However, at this time, Zhao Yun was only a village chief and was not yet famous in the world.
Hao Meng came over and said, "Brother Zilong, I'll meet him."
Zhao Yun retreated, and Hao Meng pointed a big gun on the city wall: "Now Yuan Shao's 100,000 troops are already attacking Jizhou City. The gate of Youzhou will be open as soon as Jizhou is opened. What you can do at that time? What you have to do now is to gather troops to Jizhou and fight with Yuan Shao, instead of fighting here."
Tian Yu was a little moved. Gongsun Zan was gone, but his family in Youzhou did not want his hometown to be destroyed.
"It's okay to ask me to surrender to Marquis Wen, unless Marquis Wen has the courage to come to the city to talk."
Lu Bu laughed: "What's the problem? Your Shunkou City is not a dragon's nest. Open the city gate and I will go in."
When Lu Bu was about to enter the city, everyone agreed, and Lu Bu stood up to the public.
Zhao Yun said: "I will accompany the general in."
Lu Bu shook his head: "No, I will only bring one personal guard."
Xu Shitou led the Red Rabbit Horse and entered Shunkou City with Lu Bu. The sides of the city gate were covered with spearmen.
I originally thought that I had to flip and say to me before I could convince Tian Yu, but who knew that I had just arrived at the open space inside the city gate. Tian Yu came over and knelt in front of Lu Bu's horse with his clothes lifted up.
"The rumors are indeed true. Marquis Wen is full of courage. Tian Yu is willing to worship Marquis Wen as his lord. Marquis Wen is also asked Marquis Wen to preside over the overall situation in Youzhou to avoid the trouble of the people."
Lu Bu turned over and dismounted and helped Tian Yu up.
"The situation in Youzhou is critical. Outside, Yuan Shao advances troops, and insider fights are about to start. Jizhou's general left behind five thousand soldiers and horses, which can resist Yuan Shao for more than ten days. What is urgently needed now is to take Youzhou and avoid internal fights."
"What the lord said is that Youzhou has a lot of troops, and once there is a dispute, there will be no peace."
Shunkou City was successfully won without any conflict.
Tian Yu was still the guard general of Shunkou, leading his troops, and at the same time recruited a thousand strong men to strengthen the city, transport supplies, and prepared to defend Shunkou City. Lu Bu allocated twenty cows, tens of thousands of kilograms of noodles, and thousands of kilograms of pickled vegetables to Tian Yu.
Tian Yu was very moved. If you treat you well, it would be useless no matter how nice you say it sounds. Only actual actions are true.
Tian Yushen gave a gift: "Thank you, lord, Shunkou City is full of food and grass, and there are three warehouses of sorghum, soybeans and barley. If you need to send someone to retrieve it at any time."
It turns out that the materials are stored, and the food and grass handed over from the surrounding villages are here, which can be said to be full of soldiers and enough food.
"Okay, okay. Thank you, you are still guarding here, we will go north immediately."
Lu Bu did not leave any soldiers or soldiers in Shunkou City, but just replaced the flag of Shunkou, and then led his army to continue northward. After two days, he finally arrived in Youzhou City.
Youzhou was originally a solid city built to shock the barbarians. It was a square city with a circumference of 24 miles, with four city gates from east, west, south and north. A five-story city tower was built on the city gates, standing majestic and upright.
Outside the south gate.
The generals were stunned after seeing this. The city wall was more than four meters high and there was no ladder to attack the city.
Lu Bu gave the order: "Arrange."
The drums and trumpets sounded.
More than 5,000 cavalry arranged their formations, and Lu Bu and the generals under the Dazhao flag rode on the horse.
A few loud sergeants went to call the battle, but the Youzhou city gate was closed and there was no response at all. The soldiers on the city tower bent their bows and arrows to prepare for the battle.
Gongsun Yue, the garrison of Youzhou City, is the younger brother of Gongsun Zan's family. There are about 10,000 cavalrymen and 20,000 infantrymen in the city. Among them, Zhao Xin, a deputy general, is Zhao Yun's friend, but he is actually Zhao Yun's apprentice. Zhao Yun is very low-key and has always been unwilling to show off. No one knows how powerful Zhao Yun is.
Zhao Xin is a fellow villager of Zhao Yun. His martial arts were taught by Zhao Yun, and he had three thousand light cavalry under his command. Of course, these were just ordinary light cavalry, not elite white horse riders.
Hao Meng looked at the tall city wall and sighed, "If the enemy does not go to fight, we can only cut down trees and build ladders."
Lu Bu smiled and said, "It's not okay to build a cloud ladder. We have 5,000 troops. There are 30,000 troops in the city. Even if we win a strong attack, there will be few soldiers left."
"But how do we fight?"
"Look at who is missing in the army?"
Hao Meng saw who was missing in the army? Cao Xing and Zhou Cang of the vanguard army were not there, Feng Xiong, Hua Ji, Chen Lan, and Lu Tong in Lu Bu's army were not there, and Zhao Yun who was newly acquired were not there either.
"They've entered the city?"
"Yes, with Zhao Yun's more than a hundred cavalry entering the city."
"This trip is a lot of danger. Gongsun Yue's army is 30,000, and it is not that easy to deal with."
Lu Bu smiled and said, "There are seven powerful generals, and it's not easy to deal with one Gongsun Yue. Believe in them."
At this moment, an inspiring confrontation was taking place in Youzhou City.
It turned out that Zhao Yun went to the city and went to Zhao Xin to communicate first. Zhao Xin was naturally willing to follow Zhao Yun to surrender to Lu Bu. Zhao Yun asked Zhao Xin to go to the camp and prepare quietly.
Zhao Yun came to find Gongsun Yue.
At this time, Lu Bu's army had not arrived yet, and Gongsun Yue was resting in the mansion.
When the personal soldiers saw Zhao Yun bringing six followers, they immediately shouted: "Captain Zhao Tun, you are only allowed to enter."
Zhao Yun said coldly: "Yuan Shao's army has reached Jizhou, are you still staying here for confinement?"
"Zhao Yun, how dare you insult General Gongsun."
Zhao Yun shook his gun, and the two personal guards were overturned to the ground, and a group of seven rushed in.
More than a dozen personal soldiers with big guns ran over at the door to meet the enemy. Cao Xing bent his bow and arrows behind him. At such a close distance, he was completely cheating, and they were all nailed to the necks of these soldiers.
More personal soldiers came here, but they were useless. Zhao Yun was superb in his spear skills, Zhou Cang's big sword was heavy, and any one was much stronger than the small soldiers.
After being caught off guard, dozens of Gongsun Yue's personal soldiers turned into ghosts under the sword before they could react.
Gongsun Yue was drinking and having fun with his newly married concubine in the room. He heard the noise outside asking, "Who is making noise?"
A guard with an injured arm bumped into the door and ran into the room with blood. "General, Zhao Yun is back."
"Ah." The concubine screamed so scared.
Gongsun Yue had actually known that Gongsun Zan had been killed for a long time, but he did not think about taking revenge or something, but was ecstatic. He thought that he was the strongest, so he could become the governor of Youzhou.
"What Zhao Yun, that little village chief? Capture it immediately."
"It's like a pig or dog, I really think of myself as a human being." Feng Xiong and Huaji and two big knives rushed in.
Gongsun Du drew out a sword, blocked it for only a moment, and was slashed with one knife.
Zhao Yun came in and took out Gongsun Zan's tiger talisman. The so-called tiger talisman is the token of the army.
First, let the soldiers from the south gate go, open the city gate, and welcome Lu Bu's army into the city.
Youzhou Military Camp.
Tens of thousands of cavalry were assembled on the school ground, and 3,000 people under Zhao Xin's army rode war horses and weapons.
However, the seven thousand soldiers and horses affiliated with Gongsun Yue stood one by one, with only short weapons in their hands.
Zhao Yun shouted with the military talisman: "Yuan Shao's army attacked Jizhou. Now Xuzhou Governor Wenhou Lu Bu leads us to avenge Lord Gongsun and urgently needs support. Gongsun Yue was executed by fierce battle. Everyone who is willing to fight is ready to set off. Those who are unwilling to fight, take off their battle robe and throw their weapons and go home."
The cavalry were unmoved, heroes were everywhere in troubled times, swords and guns were the ones who were eating. Wouldn't it be stupid to throw the swords and guns away?
Behind Zhao Yun, the tall Feng Xiong picked Gongsun Yue's head high.
Everyone was stunned. Gongsun Yue had finished playing. The snake could not do without a head, and the person could not leave without a head.
Gongsun Yue was not outstanding in civil and military affairs, and his army was not powerful. He was now dead. He had to continue his life as a soldier to eat food.
"We are willing to listen to General Zhao's orders." The deputy generals bowed one after another.
