Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 49
Liu He shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Dong Zhuo is very proud of his achievements, but he doesn't want to be in the back of others. Duke Lu besieged Guangzong and was punished by His Majesty. If Dong Zhuo saw that Guangzong was difficult to attack, he might divide his troops to take down Quyang."

"This..." Tian Feng was taken aback: "Duke Lu besieged the thieves, just waiting to break the city. If you withdraw your troops at this time, once the siege gets rid of the flaws, wouldn't it be an opportunity for the thieves to take advantage of?"

Guo Dian frowned and said, "Dong Zhuo once defeated the barbarians, and he has made great achievements in Xiliang, so he might not be so reckless, right?"

Liu He sighed, and said: "For the current plan, we have to break through Quyang as soon as possible, so that Dong Zhuo can concentrate on attacking Guangzong."

Guo Dian asked: "Master, do you have any plan to break the city?"

Liu Heyan said: "Xiaquyang is more difficult to attack than Shulu, and there are many thieves. The best way is to repeat the old trick."

"Replay the old trick?" Tian Feng frowned and said, "Young master, you mean to sneak into the city again? It's too dangerous."

"If you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you get tiger cubs?" Liu He smiled lightly and said, "We have already killed the bandits in the past few days. As long as the army is close to Xiaquyang, I expect the bandits will rush into the city to escape, and we will be able to escape." Take the opportunity to infiltrate into the city, act according to the situation, the inside should be combined with the outside to decide."

Zhang Fei got up and said, "Send me this time, and promise to take that Zhang Bao's head off."

Liu He laughed and said: "How many generals have you and Yunchang killed in the past few days? The thieves have already remembered you. Besides, I still need you two to continue to deter the thieves so that we can besiege the city."

Guo Dian asked: "The strong man was recognized by the thieves last time, who should be sent this time?"

"I'll go in person!" Liu He stood up, looked at Cheng Pu and asked, "Does Demou dare to go with me?"

"My lord, don't do it!" Everyone was startled, and they all got up to persuade them.

Cheng Pu clasped his fists and said, "This kind of risky thing can only be done by the next person, young master must not take the risk."

Liu He looked around the crowd and said with a smile: "I don't even notice the mere yellow scarf thief. You don't have to worry. I'm just pretending to be a thief and I won't be exposed easily. You just need to respond outside the city."

Everyone wanted to persuade them again, Liu He raised his hand to stop everyone, and said to Guan Zhang: "The military situation is urgent, and there is no delay. After I enter the city, you two must obey Mr. Tian's dispatch and be ready to meet outside the city at any time. We must not let Zhang Bao escaped."

"Obey!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei embraced the order.

Tian Feng also clasped his fists and said: "Thank you for your trust, young master, I will definitely help you with all my strength."

They sat down and discussed again. In the evening, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Han Dang each led an army and marched down to Quyang. They killed many rebels along the way.

Liu He led Cheng Pu and a hundred elite soldiers into the rebellious army, all the way to the outside of Xiaquyang City, it was already late, under the dim light, thieves crowded around the city, there were a huge number of people outside the four gates, and everyone shouted for General Digong , hoping to let them take refuge in the city.

Hearing that the officers and soldiers were coming, how could the defenders dare to open the gate, and stood at the top of the city shouting and cursing. Liu He and others went to the north gate, and found that there were few people here. When they were waiting and watching, the city gate suddenly opened, and they rushed in. These people are all strong men, much stronger than those refugees, and they protected Liu He and quickly entered the city.

At this time, more and more bandit troops came upon hearing the news. Seeing that the situation was not good, the general defending the city quickly ordered the city gate to be closed. Seeing the crowd swarming, he had to order to shoot arrows. After scaring the people away, he closed the city gate. .

Liu He took Cheng Pu to the foot of the city wall to temporarily avoid the crowd, and saw several generals coming down the stairs, and one of them complained, "Mr. Come down, we can't afford it."

A rough voice said: "Hey, we are all disciples of the great virtuous teacher, and we are brothers. How can we bear to see them suffer and be chased and killed by officers and soldiers?"

Liu He looked up, and saw that under the torch, the person in front was tall and tall, with a bare chest covered with black hair, and a steel beard erected on his face, covering his entire cheeks, which was somewhat fiercer than Zhang Fei's. .

Minoru said: "I heard that some generals came from the officers and soldiers. They were very powerful. Several leaders were killed by them. The high leaders died at their hands. It seems that only the generals can deal with them."

"Zhou Cang, what are you doing?" At this moment, a roar came from the street, and several Yellow Turban soldiers came over.

Liu He's heart was shocked. Unexpectedly, this person was Zhou Cang. After Zhang Bao died, this guy and Pei Yuanshao gathered in the mountains and forests. When Guan Yu was riding alone for thousands of miles, the two wanted to join Guan Yu. Zhou Cang.

Zhou Cang then became Guan Yu's personal guard, while Pei Yuanshao stayed in the cottage, and was later killed by Zhao Yun because he wanted to snatch Zhao Yun's horse.

Zhou Cang was also a fierce general. When Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, Zhou Cang captured Pang De alive. After Guan Yu was beheaded by Sun Quan, Zhou Cang cried loudly in Maicheng, drew his sword and killed himself. He can be regarded as a loyal man.

"Du Shuai..." The strong man walked down the stairs quickly, stepped forward and cupped his fists and said, "There are too many brothers outside the city, and they all come to seek refuge with General Digong..."

The man shouted: "Fart, no one is allowed to open the door without my order. If officers and soldiers come in, will you be guilty?"

Zhou Cang frowned, lowered his head and stopped answering. He was obviously very dissatisfied with the visitor for shutting out his companions outside the city.

"Hmph, I don't think your commander is competent, so you should change it!" The man snorted coldly, and said to the minion just now: "Pei Yuanshao, from now on, you will be the commander of the North Gate." , be sure to keep it safe for me."

"Obey!" The person next to him bowed and agreed, and after the person surnamed Du had left, he turned around and said, "Look, brother Zhou, I said something would happen, and it really is."

Zhou Cang glanced at the panic-stricken people around him, sighed, and said slowly: "Is the original intention of our uprising to harm people?"

Pei Yuanshao was shocked, and hurriedly said in a low voice: "Brother Zhou, don't talk nonsense."

Liu He didn't expect to meet these two people here, so he whispered to Cheng Pu to organize people and stand by at any time on the street of Beimen.

Standing in the street with his waist bowed, Liu He bowed again and again and said, "Thank you brother Kaicheng for letting us in, otherwise we would be killed by Guan Yu."

Pei Yuanshao was furious, and yelled: "You don't talk nonsense, and if you dare to talk nonsense, be careful that we will throw you out."

"What?" Zhou Cang's face changed drastically, and he took a step forward and asked, "Tell me, who did you meet?"

"Among the officers and soldiers, Guan Yu was so powerful that he killed several leaders..." Liu He pretended to be weak, and said a few words, then sat on the ground, "If you don't hide in the city, They will all be killed by him, it's terrible..."

"Guan Yu? Is it really Guan Yu?" Zhou Cang was stunned, stared at Liu He for a while, and said to Pei Yuanshao, "Take this man to his residence, I have something to ask him."

Although Pei Yuanshao was promoted, he respected Zhou Cang very much. He immediately ordered people to help Liu He and followed Zhou Cang to West Street. He ordered the soldiers guarding the city to guard the city strictly and not to open the door privately again.
