Lu Xuan put his hands on the city wall and looked at the official road outside the city. The sentinel had sent back the news that Yuan Shu's army was about to arrive.
The battle with Yuan Shu has begun.
Zhou Yu stood next to Lu Xuan, with expectation in his eyes, and said: "Master, after we defeated Yuan Shu this time, we have truly established a foothold in Yangzhou. What is the next step, Master?"
A flash of light flashed across Lu Xuan's eyes, and he said: "Lujiang County alone cannot satisfy us. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are both racing to enclose land in the north. We are the same. We must speed up and seize the two wealthy counties of Danyang County and Wu County as soon as possible.
land, then capture the two counties of Kuaiji and Yuzhang, and finally capture Jiujiang to lay our foundation in Yangzhou."
Zhou Yu praised: "My lord is wise!"
Zhou Yu agreed with Lu Xuan's analysis. He fixed his basic position in Yangzhou and could advance, attack, retreat or defend.
The two were chatting and talking about the next arrangements.
Boom!!
The rapid sound of war drums suddenly came from a distance.
Yuan Shu's army is coming.
"finally come."
Lu Xuan's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
Lu Xuan stared outside the city. Yuan Shu's army of more than 20,000 people quickly approached and then stopped in formation.
Yuan Shu raised his hand and the drums stopped. Yuan Shu personally rode his horse forward and looked at the tower, his eyes becoming sharp.
Lu Xuan!
It was this bastard who killed his general Ji Ling and sent Ji Ling's head to him for demonstration. Now, he plotted against his general Zhang Xun to defeat his vanguard.
Lu Xuan deserves death!
Yuan Shu's eyes were full of hatred and he said loudly: "Lu Xuan, come out and answer."
Lu Xuan looked at Yuan Shu, who was wearing armor, and smiled: "Yuan Shu, you are finally here. As the legitimate son of the Yuan family, you are not even a fraction of Yuan Shao, who was born as a concubine. Back then, you were afraid of Dong Zhuo like a tiger, so you escaped from Luoyang in embarrassment.
Now, you are running around here and there, but I have admired your name for a long time."
brush!
Yuan Shu's complexion changed suddenly.
provocative!
Demonstration!
Lu Xuan did it on purpose.
Yuan Shu was completely angered and roared: "Lu Xuan, you are trying to be cruel, but it is of no use. I tell you, when my army comes to the city, it will definitely break Huo County. I will make you regret what you said today."
Lu Xuan didn't care at all and said loudly: "Yuan Shu, I have prepared a gift for you."
"Someone, bring it up."
Lu Xuan ordered.
The soldiers brought out a wooden stake and stood it firmly on the tower. Zhang Xun was clearly tied to the wooden stake.
Yuan Shu was outside the city and clearly saw Zhang Xun being tied up. He frowned. Zhang Xun surrendered. What did Lu Xuan do with Zhang Xun?
Lu Xuan said loudly: "Yuan Shu, Zhang Xun is here. The six thousand elites under his command are all in the city. You immediately order the withdrawal of the troops and withdraw from Lujiang County. I will release Zhang Xun and release the surrendered prisoners. Otherwise, I will kill them."
Zhang Xun, kill your Yuan Shu soldiers."
Yuan Shu flicked his sleeves to avoid being threatened, and said forcefully: "Lu Xuan, you want to use Zhang Xun to threaten me, that is impossible. What's more, Zhang Xun surrendered without permission and betrayed me. He deserves to die."
After Lu Xuan heard this, a smile appeared on his lips.
This is the result he wants.
Lu Xuan looked at Zhang Xun and said: "Zhang Xun, it seems that your status in Yuan Shu's heart is really not very good. I will give you one last chance to ask Yuan Shu for help. If you succeed, I will release you."
Zhang Xun didn't want to die, his eyes were frightened and he looked panicked, and shouted loudly: "My lord, I surrendered because I had no choice. My lord, please remember that I have served you for many years, and for the sake of hard work without credit,
Withdraw your troops."
Yuan Shu said angrily: "Zhang Xun, you betrayed me, how can you still have the dignity to ask for help? Why don't you die?"
Zhang Xun was even more worried and said again: "Lord, save me."
Yuan Shu said angrily: "Die."
Lu Xuan raised the corners of his mouth, smiled in his eyes, and said: "Zhang Xun, it seems that Yuan Shu will not save you. Now, I will give you a ride."
"kill!"
Lu Xuan gave the order.
Taishi Ci held the gun and approached Zhang Xun step by step, but did not take action immediately.
Zhang Xun saw Tai Shici and kept struggling, but he couldn't break free. He looked at Yuan Shu outside the city and became completely angry. He roared: "Yuan Shu, you seduce wives and daughters, deduct soldiers' pay, live extravagantly, and plunder the people. You
It won’t last long. If you don’t save me, you will regret it.”
Phew!
A muffled sound came out.
The sharp spear tip pierced Zhang Xun's body.
Red blood spurted out, and the moment Taishi Ci drew out the big gun, Zhang Xun's body twitched twice, and he lost all breath.
Lu Xuan stood on the city tower and said loudly: "All the soldiers outside the city, have you heard what Zhang Xun said? Zhang Xun said that Yuan Shu raped wives and daughters, deducted soldiers' pay, was extravagant, and robbed the people."
"Are you willing to work for such a person?"
"Although Zhang Xun surrendered, his surrender was forced out of help. Today, as long as Yuan Shu orders the withdrawal, I will let Zhang Xun go and will not kill him. But Yuan Shu refuses to save Zhang Xun and does not care about Zhang Xun's life or death."
"Yuan Shu doesn't even care about generals like Zhang Xun, let alone you?"
"Yuan Shu, he is not worthy of your service."
Lu Xuan's voice suddenly rose and he continued: "Yuan Shu will undoubtedly lose this battle. Now, if you are willing to leave, leave quickly. Because Yuan Shu is not worthy of your service."
boom!!
Outside the city, countless Yuan Shu's soldiers were discussing.
The military was in an uproar.
People's hearts are floating.
Yuan Shu saw this and was even more confused.
Lu Xuan deliberately provoked him and asked him not to care about Zhang Xun's life or death. Then, Lu Xuan used Zhang Xun's death to shake his military morale. Such an arrangement was extremely clumsy. After all, Zhang Xun was the one who surrendered and betrayed.
.
But in the eyes of all the soldiers, Yuan Shu didn't care about Zhang Xun's life or death.
It’s just that Yuan Shu is cool and ruthless.
This is Lu Xuan's purpose.
Fell into a trap!
Being plotted by Lu Xuan.
Yuan Shu clenched his fists and looked at Lu Xuan on the top of the city. His eyes were angrier than ever before, and his whole body was filled with murderous intent.
Lu Xuan was as hateful as ever.
Yuan Shu glanced at the soldiers talking around him and frowned. He had 10,000 new recruits under his command, and Lu Xuan's words made the recruits' hearts flutter. If he wanted to kill Lu Xuan, he had to solve his own problems first.
Otherwise, it will be very troublesome.
Damn Lu Xuan.
Yuan Shu quickly ordered silence, but many people around him were still talking. In anger, Yuan Shu directly drew his sword out of its sheath, killed a soldier not far away who was talking, and once again ordered loudly: "Whoever dares to talk will die.
It's a precedent. Anyone who talks about it will be killed without mercy."
Lu Xuan had excellent eyesight and clearly saw the shocking scene of Yuan Shu's murder, and a smile appeared on his lips again.
Yuan Shu killed people and killed them well.
Gave him another chance.
This was an opportunity to further destabilize Yuan Shu's military morale.
