Qu Yi and Yan Liang were responsible for attacking Fanyang County. When they faced the defense of such a city, they also felt a little headache.
"There is enough food, the city's defenses are strong, and there is morale. This city is not easy to capture."
Qu Yi shook his head and said: "They can't take my Gaoyang City, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take this Fanyang City. General Yan, we may have to suffer a little."
Yan Liang is very confident about this.
"General Qu thinks too highly of this group of people. In my opinion, they are just local chickens and tile dogs, lost dogs. Now the whole Youzhou is fighting, there are no reinforcements at all, and the Xianbei and Wuhuan people are still standing here with us.
Bian, even if Liu Bei sends reinforcements, it will be a long time later."
Qu Yi shook his head.
"I'm worried that the south and west sides won't be able to hold on for too long. I'm afraid we don't have much time here, a month at most. If we can't capture this city within a month, our situation will be very dangerous."
"One month...is enough!"
Yan Liang sneered and said: "Besides, this is Liu's fiefdom. His food town is here. I heard that there are more than 20,000 households. Do you think that if we kill all the people here, he will have no food town.
?”
"That's all you're thinking about right now?"
Qu Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Let's think about how to attack the city. The real thing is to capture the city."
"That's natural."
Yan Liang smiled, with a nonchalant look on his face, as if the city's defenses were as if they didn't exist in his eyes.
On the other side, Yuan Shao also led troops to Zhuoxian County, which was Liu Bei's hometown, Lu Zhi's hometown, and the hometown of some very important people under Liu Bei. It was the seat of their families and where their roots were.
Therefore, Yuan Shao felt that if Zhuo County could be razed to the ground and their family completely destroyed, it would not be too wonderful for him!
"Gongsun Zan still has some brains. He knows that he must shrink his troops to protect Fanyang County and Zhuo County. If these two cities are not lost, then he may have a chance of survival. If these two cities are lost, Gongsun Zan will never die.
Entered the official position."
Yuan Shao laughed and said: "A city can make a group of people suffer. It is a suitable place for me to take revenge on Liu. No matter what, I will raze this place to the ground!"
So Yuan Shao ordered to carry out indiscriminate destruction of Zhuo County.
The county town is controlled by Gongsun Zan's army, and he won't be able to capture it for a while, but it doesn't matter, isn't it also an interesting thing to destroy all the surrounding rural farms and so on?
I heard that the Liu Bei family's settlement is just outside Zhuoxian City. Wouldn't it be good to destroy all their family settlements?
However, as Tian Feng guessed, Gongsun Zan had already taken the lead in clearing the country. He might not care much about ordinary people, but he cared about the people of the Liu family and the Lu family very much, and immediately sent people to pick them up in the county.
Protected inside.
The army was also dispatched to help them transport their family property, wealth, etc., taking away everything that could be taken away, and nothing could be done about what could not be taken away.
But there’s no need to worry about that.
"As long as people are still there and the land is still there, houses and other things can be rebuilt. After this war, no matter what position I hold, I will definitely contribute money to rebuild the house for the Lu family and the Liu family. I guarantee that it will be exactly the same as before, or even more.
a little better!"
Gongsun Zan accompanied Smiley Face and asked the Lu and Liu clansmen to follow him into Zhuoxian City to take refuge.
The Lu family and the Liu family have lived here for generations. They were really not used to it when they suddenly encountered such a catastrophe. However, it was important to save their lives. Even if they couldn't adapt, they still had to run away. They fled to Zhuoxian City with Xiruan and hid.
Pray that this time there will be no danger.
The current speaker of the Liu family, Liu Bei's uncle Liu Bo, feels very sad about this situation and the buildings that the family has developed and constructed over the years. He knows that these buildings may not be able to escape the Yuan family's murderous hands.
But he could only save his life, call on his tribe to escape with him, and then he could only wait for Liu Bei's "King Master" to come over and press Yuan Shao to the ground and rub him.
Yuan Shao didn't talk about martial arts. While he was besieging the city and preparing for battle, he was killing people in Zhuoxian County.
Not to mention killing, not even a dog can escape their murderous hands. It will be killed and cooked into dog meat hot pot. Not even a chicken can escape. It will also be slaughtered and made into barbecue. Everything else that can be eaten will be eaten.
They looted and ate them cleanly, and the entire Zhuo County became a disposable outlet for Yuan's army.
Yuan Shao wanted to destroy all of Zhuoxian with a sick and twisted mentality, and ordered the army to launch a fierce attack on the county. The army took turns to rest and attack, day and night, and Zhuoxian was like a small island in the vast ocean.
A small boat can be completely overturned by a big wave at any time.
As for this unexpected situation, not to mention Gongsun Zan's inability to react, Dong Zhuo was also frightened.
In mid-to-early November, Dong Zhuo received a request for help from Gongsun Zan and learned that there was a great chaos in Youzhou. The Xianbei people, Wuhuan people, and Yuan Shao's troops invaded Youzhou together. The situation in Youzhou was now very serious, and what was even more dangerous was that Fan Yang
County and Zhuoxian are just in front of Yuan Shao's army.
Dong Zhuo was shocked when he learned about this.
Fanyang County is Liu Bei's fiefdom, Zhuo County is Lu Zhi's fiefdom, and it is also the hometown of the two masters and apprentices. If Yuan Shao succeeds, the Liu family and the Lu family will all be killed by Yuan Shao. Then Liu Bei will
How will Lu Zhi be so angry?
If that really happened, Gongsun Zan would definitely die, and maybe many people would be buried with him.
But thinking about it on the other hand, if Dong Zhuo successfully rescues Fanyang County and Zhuo County and ensures that these two places are not lost, wouldn't it be a kindness to Liu Bei and Lu Zhi?
The collapse of the war situation was Gongsun Zan's fault, and the rescue effort was Dong Zhuo's fault. The two cannot be confused.
And aside from everything else, if Gongsun Zan doesn't ask for help, Dong Zhuo can wait for orders. Since Gongsun Zan has asked for help, Dong Zhuo must send out troops. If he doesn't send troops, if Liu Bei and Lu Zhi find out, I don't know how they will be resented.
.
Dong Zhuo couldn't afford this kind of thing.
But then again, what happened to Gongsun Zan? What did he do for food? How could Yuan Shao be beaten like this?
After thinking for a while and sensing the great opportunity in this matter, Dong Zhuo decided what he should do.
He did two things in total.
First, write a letter to Liu Bei, send someone to Luoyang quickly, and tell Liu Bei that he has decided to fight desperately to save Liu Bei and Lu Zhi's people. Let Liu Bei remember this and owe him a favor.
Second, rectify all the troops and horses, quickly prepare rations, prepare to travel day and night, force march, and rush to the aid of Gongsun Zan as quickly as possible to fight against Yuan Shao.
Although Bingzhou Mu is a good position and has some dignity, Dong Zhuo still wants more. How can the bitter cold land here compare to the colorful world in Luoyang City?
If Liu Bei's favor and gratitude can be gained through this fire rescue, then it will be a matter of course for him to enter Luoyang and take up a high position.
Now Luoyang City has a system of four assistant ministers, and there is also a young emperor. It is the time when the powerful ministers show their power, and there is no adult emperor suppressing them. How happy will it be?
And speaking of it, Dong Zhuo actually had some slight objections to Liu Bei's arrangements this time.
Of course, this opinion is not mainly directed at Liu Bei, but at Lu Bu.
Lu Bu took great risks and made great contributions, so he was appointed as the rear general by Liu Bei. He was given a mansion in Luoyang City, commanded the original Bingzhou army, and became the leader of the Bingzhou army in Luoyang. His status has been
approaching him.
Although he has not yet held any position in the imperial court, the advantage of living in Luoyang City definitely gives Lu Bu the opportunity to get closer to Liu Bei. Sooner or later, he will be able to get the position in Luoyang and stay in Luoyang seriously.
Although Dong Zhuo was higher than Lu Bu in terms of position and status, he was not in Luoyang and had to face the Bingzhou bandits and the Southern Huns, who seemed to be friends but not friends. This life was actually not easy.
This made Dong Zhuo somewhat envious and even slightly jealous of Lu Bu.
With one adventure, he could stay in Luoyang logically. Dong Zhuo also wanted something like this.
So Dong Zhuo put on his armor and led his army to rush for reinforcements.
