Lu Bu saw that several generals, Song Xian and Wei Xu, were fine, so he felt relieved. These generals were all attacked by rebels, and it seemed impossible for them to participate in the rebellion.
He frowned and said, "Where are the others?"
He has eight capable generals under his command, and several of them did not attend the banquet tonight, which is highly suspicious!
Just as they were talking, the shouts of killing started again behind them, and a large group of rebel soldiers came and fired bows and arrows at the trapped camp.
Lu Bu yelled and asked Gao Shun to send troops to block the front and back doors of the mansion. He went to look for armor in the house and asked Yan to hide in the house.
At this time, two hours had passed since the rebellion, and Lu Bu was mostly awake from the wine. He instantly felt that he was doing well again!
Yan was also frightened most of the night, but now he came to his senses, grabbed Lu Bu's sleeve and said, "Where is Ling'er?"
"What if she is captured by bad guys?"
Lu Bu was in a irritable mood and could only say: "Now that the city is in chaos, where can we find her?"
"Besides, Gao Shun has already sent troops. The top priority is to put down the rebellion in Houcheng so that we can find her whereabouts!"
"You just hide for now!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Yan had to hide in the house uneasily.
Jushou sat on the ground and rested for a long time before standing up. He thought that he had seen a lot in his life. He originally thought that the last time Yecheng was attacked by the Black Mountain Army was outrageous enough, but he didn't expect that what happened to Lu Bu's base camp this time would be even more ridiculous.
.
He vaguely felt that the two civil strife seemed to be quite similar, right?
Seeing Gao Shun standing by, Jushu couldn't help but said, "General Gao, do you want me to go find General Zilong and go into the city to help?"
After hearing this, Gao Shun smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid General Zhao won't be able to escape."
"There is an army of Cao Cao's troops outside the city, taking advantage of the chaos to attack the city."
"What!" Jushou was shocked, "What's going on?"
Gao Shun told what happened outside the city, and finally said: "I'm afraid this matter has something to do with Cao Cao!"
After hearing this, Ju Shou's expression was gloomy and uncertain. Did Cao Cao reach out to Hanoi?
Like Yuan Xi, he had always been extremely wary of Cao Cao. When he first heard that Cao Cao's army had come to plot against the city, his first reaction was that it was too fast!
And the timing of catching it was perfect!
At this time, Lu Bu dressed up and came out. After listening to Gao Shun's words, he roared: "Cao Cao, you kid, actually used such a vicious trick!"
"Gao Shun, follow me to put down the rebellion. Once we kill all the rebels in the city, we can then go out and annihilate Cao's army!"
He counted the generals who were not present and said: "Hao Meng, Cao Xing, and Hou Cheng, these three are not here yet!"
"Did these three people rebel against me?"
After hearing this, Gao Shun said: "Most of these rebels speak with a Hanoi accent. It is very likely that they are Hao Meng, but it is not advisable to make a conclusion early."
"Shunyuan will help the vanguard to quell the chaos, catch the mastermind, and the truth will naturally come to light."
After hearing this, Lu Bu's face brightened slightly and he nodded. Gao Shun immediately led his troops out, rushed up the long street, and fought with the rebels.
Lu Bu saw that all the soldiers in the trapped camp were unstoppable, and one was worth ten, and he became even more fearful.
After a whole night of fighting, it was almost dawn, and blood was flowing all over the ground. The streets, ditches by the road, walls and even trees were full of corpses of dead rebels.
Gao Shun's trapped camp has gradually taken control of the situation in the city. The rebels are retreating steadily and are retreating to the south of Huaicheng. As soon as Gao Shun saw it, he knew that was where the rebels sent troops, and the mastermind was likely to be stationed near the south gate.
!
And Hao Meng happens to be guarding the south gate!
While Gao Shun was commanding his soldiers to attack, a thought flashed through his mind. Zhang Yang's general Yang Chou was responsible for patrolling the city. Where were the others?
Was he one of the participants, or was he killed?
The rebel soldiers were attacked from two sides by the trapped camp and were defeated like a mountain. At this time, at the south gate, Hao Meng looked gloomy and hesitated whether to open the south gate and escape.
This time he felt that the plan was very well prepared and he almost broke Lu Bu's mansion. How could he fall short?
Although Lu Bu's mansion was located in the center of Huai City, and Hao Meng attacked from south to north, he saw on the top of the city that the north and east gates were also on fire at the same time, so someone must be secretly cooperating with him.
Maybe it was the person who secretly wrote to him, but no matter what, as long as he killed Lu Bu, he would have completed what Yuan Shu had told him to do. But now that he has failed, it seems that he can only run away!
He saw Gao Shun's flag in the distance and quickly approached the south gate. Knowing that if he didn't run away, it would be too late, he immediately ordered: "Open the south gate and leave the city, and set the gate on fire!"
After hearing this, the soldiers rushed to the city gate to open the door.
As Hao Meng walked away, he turned to Cao Xing and said, "It's a pity this time. With the help of the general, we still couldn't kill Lu Bu."
"When we return to Yuzhou to see Yuan Jiujiu, I will definitely pay tribute to the general."
After hearing this, Cao Xing smiled and said: "General, don't think too much, it's just success or failure."
Hao Meng nodded. He had just taken two steps when he heard the shrill sound of the wind behind him. He subconsciously ducked to the side, and then there was severe pain in his left arm. He looked down and saw that his left arm fell to the ground. He was shocked and angry, and stabbed his right hand.
He stabbed back and wounded Cao Xing behind him.
Hao Meng took a few steps back. Regardless of the blood gushing from his severed arm, he pointed the knife at Cao Xing and said, "How dare you plot against me, thief!"
Only then did his guards react, and they all raised their swords to attack Cao Xing. Seeing that he was outnumbered, Cao Xing quickly fled.
Hao Meng staggered, clutching his broken arm, and was about to run towards the city gate surrounded by guards. Suddenly, a commotion started behind him, and Gao Shun had already rushed over with soldiers trapped in the camp.
When Hao Meng saw this, he roared and rushed towards Gao Shun with his knife. Gao Shun subconsciously swung his knife and chopped it on Hao Meng's neck.
Hao Meng's throat rattled, and after waving his arms a few times, he fell to the ground motionless.
Gao Shun looked at Hao Meng's body with a broken arm on the ground and remained silent.
Cao Xing saw him in the distance and breathed a sigh of relief. If Hao Meng survived and was forced to give a confession, things would be in trouble.
Outside the city, Cao Ren's army and Zhao Yun had been fighting all night. Both sides were exhausted, but Cao Ren's heart was bleeding. Both sides were obviously elite. The individual qualities of the soldiers he led were no worse than those of the Youzhou army.
But it only has this advantage.
The Youzhou army was much stronger in terms of weapons and armor, and the cooperation of several people. Cao Ren saw with his own eyes that the swords of his own soldiers were cut off by the opponent. This was not one or two special cases!
In addition, the opponent relied on the defense of the camps on both sides of the road and retreated in if they couldn't defeat them. Cao Jun didn't know how many people were inside, and they didn't dare to enter without permission, which made Cao Ren as sick as if he had eaten a fly.
He is good at defense, but not good at attacking. After a night of fighting, although the soldiers still have the strength to fight again, there is a big problem in Huaicheng!
The fire that burned all night was gradually extinguished, and the noise in the city gradually calmed down. From time to time, rebels scattered and fled. It was obvious that Hao Meng's rebellion had failed!
If the stalemate continues like this, if Lu Bu comes with his troops and attacks Zhao Yun from both sides, he will not be able to leave!
He turned to Xia Houyuan, and the two discussed it. Cao Ren gritted his teeth and said: "Ming Jin withdraws the troops, and the whole army goes west to the east of Hedong!"
When Gao Shun led his troops to the north gate, all Cao's troops had left a moment ago, and Zhao Yun did not pursue him in order to prevent the other party from cheating.
Gao Shun listened to the soldiers from the trapped camp coming back to report in turn, and his expression was not good. Among the soldiers sent by the trapped camp, the most serious casualties were the dozens of people guarding the east gate, all of whom died fighting.
According to the witnessing soldiers, the carriage carrying Lu Lingqi probably escaped from the east gate!
Gao Shun sent people out to inquire around, but after a long time, no trace of the carriage was found. He couldn't help but wonder, where did Lu Lingqi's carriage go?
At this time, no one expected that Qu Yi and Lu Lingqi's carriage had already reached a place fifty or sixty miles north of Huaicheng!
Lu Lingqi pulled the carriage to the stream and let the horse drink from the stream. Qu Yi knelt by the stream and just took a sip of water when he suddenly coughed and spurted out stream water and blood.
Lu Lingqi was frightened when she saw it. Qu Yi waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, the old injury from before has not healed yet."
Lu Lingqi saw blood oozing from dozens of wounds on Qu Yi's body and said, "Master, let's go back?"
"My father must have put down the rebellion in the city, otherwise the people who are chasing us would not leave."
Cao Jun's cavalry chased the carriage very closely, and the two sides fought for most of the night, running for dozens of miles in the mountains.
Qu Yi fought hard to get injured and lost several cavalrymen. The others were still chasing after them, but they heard the sound of gold ringing coming from the direction of Huaicheng, so they turned their horses and left.
He said aloud: "It may be that Marquis Wen won, or it may be that Cao Jun took Huaicheng."
"You hide nearby. I'll go back and take a look. If it's safe, I'll find someone to pick you up."
Seeing Qu Yi's appearance, Lu Lingqi couldn't help but said: "Master is like this, how can he still work?"
Qu Yi used his halberd to support his body and stood up, thinking that he was convinced that he still didn't know if he could survive today.
Now he had old injuries and new injuries, and he had been beaten for another night, and he could no longer hold on anymore. He was about to speak, but he heard the sound of horses neighing in the distance of the stream. His face changed, and he quickly asked Lu Lingqi to hide in the car.
Then he drove the carriage to turn around.
Dozens of horsemen appeared on the other side of the stream, pulling their horses to drink water. At the same time, they saw a carriage.
When the leader saw Qu Yi, he was startled for a moment, and then his eyes flashed with surprise.
"Hey, isn't this Qu Yi, Marquis Wen's guest, who defeated Gongsun Zan?"
"What a coincidence, hahahaha!"
Qu Yi took a closer look and found that it was Zhang Yang's general Yang Chou. He sighed and thought that his luck was really bad.
He frowned and said, "General Yang, what do you mean?"
Yang Chou laughed loudly, "Qu Yi, you followed Yuan Shao, and your hands were stained with the blood of many Black Mountain brothers!"
"In Huai City, there is nothing I can do but you can't. Now it's really hard to find a way out of the iron shoes. Let me avenge my sister-in-law!"
Qu Yixindao is such a bastard, how can he be a remnant of the Black Mountain Army!
He frowned and said, "Who is your sister?"
Yang Chou smiled and said: "I will tell you when you die!"
"Come together and chop off his head!"
Lu Lingqi stood up from the car and said angrily: "Yang Chou, you are so brave!"
"Aren't you afraid that if I tell my father, I will cut you into pieces?"
Yang Chou didn't expect that Lu Lingqi was there, and his eyes lit up immediately, "Oh, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it."
"Mrs. Du is gone, but Marquis Wen's daughter is here!"
"This is a great achievement, maybe it can be used to blackmail Marquis Wen!"
After hearing this, Lu Lingqi came to understand: "It turns out that you betrayed my father!"
Yang Chou laughed loudly and waved his hand, "Up!"
Qu Yi sighed, stabbed the horse in the butt with a halberd, and started running away again.
He was still a little confused just now, how could he meet Yang Chou unexpectedly.
Only then did Qu Yi come to his senses. He ran away in the direction of Youzhou unconsciously, and Yang Chou was afraid that he would also go back to Heishan. The two parties were walking together unknowingly!
Seeing Yang Chou chasing after him, Qu Yi tightened his grip on the halberd in his hand.
Damn it, I still don’t know how long I can last, and I won’t let myself die in peace!
