Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 195 Night Attack
Thinking of this, Lu Bu asked with some uncertainty: "What does King Zhongshan mean... Will someone rebel near Luoyang recently?"

Liu Yu shook his head with a smile and didn't explain much. He just reminded: "There will always be opportunities, but Fengxian should not be too active in front of Dong Zhuo. Anyway, there will not be many available in Luoyang City. You just need to wait quietly for the order!"

After talking about these things, Liu Yu pointed to the northeast direction on the map intentionally or unintentionally. After seeing it, Lu Bu was secretly pleased, then stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you King Zhongshan for your guidance, I have been taught!"

Liu Yu wasn't polite to him and mentioned the issue of the IOU cryptically. Lu Bu felt distressed when he heard it, and then thought that as long as he could lead his troops out of Luoyang, the loss of troops and horses would be worth it.

As the evening approached, Lu Bu got up to leave, and Liu Yu personally sent him to the entrance of the village.

"This farewell, I don't know when we will see Fengxian again, but before I leave, I still have a small matter that needs Brother Fengxian's help to coordinate!"

"Small matter? Let Wang Ming of Zhongshan tell you." Lu Bu had something to ask, and Liu Yu had a handle, so naturally he didn't dare to refuse at this time.

I only heard Liu Yu say: "Zhang Xiu is my friend, so I want to ask Brother Feng Xian to help him get him out of the death row!"

On the night when Zhang Ji was about to flee Chang'an with his troops, Niu Fu got the news one step ahead of Zhang Xiu, so he led his troops to surround Kelaiju Tavern overnight and arrested Zhang Xiu.

After Zhang Xiu was arrested, he was directly put into death row. Dong Zhuo meant that he would behead Zhang Ji for public display after he was executed.

However, if Zhang Xiu couldn't bear the torture and died early, Dong Zhuo would not ask again, after all, Zhang Xiu was just a small role in his eyes.

"This matter is a bit difficult! Li Ru has always been in charge of the death cell, and with the relationship between Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji, it's probably impossible to get out alive!" Lu Bu said in embarrassment.

There are many dark and dirty things in the death row, so people who are locked up in the prison generally don't last until the day of execution.

Liu Yu also knew that this matter was difficult, but he had to save Zhang Xiu.

"Well, if Fengxian can rescue Zhang Xiu, I can erase five thousand people on the IOU!" Liu Yu was very sure, and at the same time told Lu Bu that this was the biggest concession he could make.

On the IOU, Lu Bu stated that he would leave [-] Bingzhou elites for Liu Yu when he left Luoyang. At this time, he heard that as long as Zhang Xiu could be rescued, he would save [-] elites from the loss, so he made a promise on the spot.

"Don't worry about this matter, the king of Zhongshan hugs me, and he will definitely bring Zhang Xiu out alive!"

……

That night, Lu Bu used his connections to buy off the prison boss in the death row, and then replaced him with someone who looked similar to Zhang Xiu.

The person who was replaced was tortured overnight. In the morning, not only could he not see, hear, or hear, but his tongue was cut off.

The worst thing was that his face was covered with scars, and he no longer looked like a human being, but he could still see the charm of Zhang Xiu from the overall appearance and clothing.

After rescuing Zhang Xiu, Lu Bu was not sent to Niujia Village immediately, but was temporarily locked up in his mansion.

"This person is related to [-] Bingzhou soldiers, so he must be taken care of properly!"

"Put it down, the general will spare you!"

After making arrangements for Wei Xu, Lu Bu was about to turn around and leave, when Zhang Xiu asked, "Why did General Lu save me?"

Lu Bu stopped and didn't look back, and said: "I am not the one who saved you, but Liu Yu, but you can't leave for the time being, let's talk about it after the limelight has passed!"

Zhang Xiu's heart warmed when he heard the words. In fact, he should have thought that the only person in Luoyang who was willing to take the risk to save him was Liu Yu.

This friend really did not cross!

"I have one more question, I hope General Lu will tell you the truth!"

"You want to ask about Zhang Ji, right? He was surrounded by Li Jue's army in Xin'an County. It's probably... more or less auspicious!"

Zhang Xiu felt his calf go soft immediately after listening to it.

In fact, when he was arrested, he had guessed that something must have happened to his uncle, but he didn't expect that Dong Zhuo would arrange for Li Jue to deal with his uncle.

The combat power of Li Jue's army is second only to Feixiong's army in the entire Xiliang army. In addition, the number of Li Jue's army is more than double that of Jingyuan's army. It is almost impossible for Zhang Ji to defend the small city of Xin'an. impossible.

At this time Zhang Xiu wanted to help his uncle very much, but how could Lu Bu let him leave under the current situation!

……

Wang Fang, Li Jue's deputy general outside Xin'an County, and Li Subing, the superintendent of Chang'an City, joined together. After discussing with each other, they ordered the whole army to prepare to attack the city.

The low-walled city in Xin'an County can climb up the city defense with only a long ladder. Fortunately, Zhang Ji brought a lot of arrows with him when he left Chang'an. The long-range suppression with bows and arrows did not make Wang Fang and Li Su earn money. Too cheap.

Seeing that the siege troops were blocked, Wang Fang could only withdraw his troops and set up camp on the spot, waiting for the arrival of Li Jue's main army.

That night when Zhang Ji saw Wang Fang's camp was quiet, he called Hu Che'er to discuss the robbery of the camp.

As soon as Zishi arrived, Hu Che'er led the five thousand Jingyuan army to the periphery of the enemy's camp as planned.

Just when he was about to order a surprise attack, torches were suddenly lit in the enemy camp, and the enemy soldiers inside were ready to fight, not only in the camp, but also in Hu Che'er's camp. Deafening shouts of killing came from behind one after another.

It turned out that Li Su had known Zhang Ji for a long time, so he predicted in advance that the other party might rob the camp tonight, so Hu Che'er, who was supposed to sneak attack one side, became the turtle in the ambush.

"It's not an ambush!" Hu Che'er yelled and was about to lead his men to retreat, but he was under attack, and there were fewer troops than the opponent, and it was almost impossible to break through.

The two sides fought each other for more than half an hour, Zhang Ji stood on the top of the city tower and looked from a distance, thinking that Hu Che'er had succeeded, and was happily showing off to his subordinates how successful his strategy was.

But in fact, there were less than 1000 soldiers left around Hu Che'er at this time.

"Hu Che'er, you don't have to fight stubbornly. Quickly see how many people are around you. You should quickly dismount and accept the surrender!"

Li Su proudly surrendered in person, but immediately exposed his position. Hu Che'er picked up the spear and threw it at him.

Li Su's martial strength was only third-rate, and he was so frightened by the flying spear that he could only roll on the spot, which was barely enough to dodge.

But even though Li Su dodged, the pawns behind him suffered. A single shot flew over and stabbed three or four pawns to death one after another.

According to historical records, Hu Che'er was favored by Cao Cao for his brave victory in the three armies. He once proposed to Zhang Xiu face-to-face, which shows how powerful his force is.

It's just that this person had a good relationship with Zhang Xiu and was favored by Zhang Ji, so he rejected Cao Cao and helped Zhang Xiu get rid of Dian Wei.

Li Su got up from the ground in horror, looked back and was terrified in his heart, and had no intention of recruiting him anymore.

"You bastards don't know what to do, someone shoot them to death for me!"

As soon as Li Su gave the order, he heard the sound of dense arrow rain piercing the air behind him, but to his surprise, after waiting for a long time, none of the arrows shot at Hu Che'er.

Not only that, but the miserable wailing of his own soldiers came from behind him.

"What's going on here?" Li Su turned his head in doubt, and the sight scared him enough.

I saw that my camp was full of flames, and the heavily guarded grain and grass land was being attacked by a mysterious army that appeared out of nowhere.

Could it be that Hu Che'er was not the only one attacking the camp tonight?
