Three Kingdoms King of the North

"What, he is Fu Liu Ling?!" Hearing Zhang Fei's answer, both Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei were taken aback.Liu Bei walked up to Fu Liu Ling who had just woken up, but because of his weakness, he was supported by two county soldiers, looked him up and down, and asked in surprise, "You are Fu Liu Ling?"

"That's right, I am Fu Liu Ling!" Fu Liu Ling raised his head, and said righteously: "Since it has fallen into your hands, you can kill or cut as you please, and I will never frown."

Hearing what he said, the muscles on Liu Bei's face couldn't help twitching violently. He remembered what Guan Yu sent to report just now, so he gritted his molars and asked, "Listen to my second brother, you are in the county office. They piled up firewood and locked up their families in the county government office. Once the city is destroyed, they will immediately set fire to burn all jade and stone. Am I right?"

"That's right, what you said is the truth." Fu Liuling said with regret on his face, "The Marquis of Bei Township has shown me kindness. Since I can't keep the city, I can only live and die with the city."

"Come here," Gongsun Zan suddenly ordered loudly, "Take Fu Liuling to the bank of the moat and behead him."

"Wait a minute, brother." Seeing that Gongsun Zan was going to kill Fu Liuling, Liu Bei hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "This man is loyal, and it's unknown who killed him. Why don't we put him in prison for now, and deal with him after we defeat Yuan Shao."

"My virtuous brother is in trouble," Gongsun Zan said after seeing Liu Bei pleading for Liu Bei, "I killed him just to preserve his loyalty, so you don't have to say anything else." Then he glared at the subordinate next to him, "You still What are you doing in a daze, push him out and chop him up."

Fu Liuling grinned at Gongsun Zan when he passed by Gongsun Zan, "Thank you, Prefect Gongsun, for making it happen." After finishing speaking, he walked down the tower with his head held high.

As soon as Fuliu Ling was taken away, a small school came up to Gongsun Zan and knelt down on one knee: "My lord, there is an envoy related to the national order asking to see him."

"The envoy of Sheguoling?" Gongsun Zan looked around after listening to the report from the junior school, and asked, "Do you know who Sheguoling is?"

Left and right quickly replied, "This subordinate doesn't know."

Seeing that no one could give him an answer, Gongsun Zan ordered the principal, "Bring the messenger here quickly."

Han Zhan's messenger was just under the gate tower, and soon he followed the school to the gate tower, knelt down on one knee and saluted Gongsun Zan: "The messenger under the Sheguo Ling, join Gongsun Taishou!"

Seeing Gongsun Zan cast a meaningful look at him, Liu Bei immediately took a step forward knowingly, and asked the courier kneeling on the ground, "Dare to ask the courier, who is Sheguo Ling?"

"Return to the general," the messenger saw Liu Bei in military uniform and couldn't figure out his identity, so he could only address him vaguely, and then explained: "My envoy's surname is Han and his name is Zhan. He is the son of the former Jizhou shepherd Han Fu. Yuan Shao appointed Sheguo county magistrate."

After figuring out who the Ling was, Liu Bei took the letter from the messenger and handed it to Gongsun Zan.After Gongsun Zan finished reading, he bowed his head and said to the messenger, "Messenger, please go back and tell your envoy that I have agreed to his conditions. We will flank Yuan Shao with him, and after we get Jizhou back, we will divide the world equally."

After sending the messenger to leave, Gongsun Zan called Tian Chou and said: "Send the order, the army will rest in Fuliu City for ten days, and then set off for Jizhou."

"Brother," Liu Bei asked inexplicably upon hearing Gongsun Zan's inexplicable order, "Our army has captured Fuliu City, so we can rush to Jieqiao to capture Guangzong. Why do we have to rest here for ten days? Long?"

"Sheguoling and Yuan Shao have a grudge against killing their father," Gongsun Zan said with a sneer, "Let them fight Yuan Shao to the death in Jizhou first, and when Yuan Shao loses his troops, it won't be too late for us to send troops. Maybe we will There is no need to divide Jizhou equally with the children of the Han family, hahahahaha!" After speaking, he looked up to the sky and laughed.

Hearing what Gongsun Zan said, Liu Bei immediately thought of the snipe and the clam fighting for the fisherman's profit. Although he felt that Gongsun Zan's idea was a bit too despicable, he still bowed to the other party and said, "Brother really thought carefully."

Chapter 0094 Each has a plan

Han Zhan's army arrived outside Guangnian City, which was only one day away from Tantai.

Although there are no enemy generals coming out of the city to fight here, the four gates of the city are closed tightly, and the city walls are full of people, posing as if they are facing an enemy.

Seeing this situation, Han Zhan couldn't help but asked Xun You: "Gongda, Geng Changshi's letter didn't say that the magistrate of Guangnian is also one of his own. Why didn't he come out of the city to greet him?"

Xun You frowned, grasped the direction of the city for a moment, and said in an uncertain tone: "Could it be that Guangnian Ling was killed by someone sent by Yuan?" In the first city, Wu'an, the county magistrate and envoys of Wu'an were killed by Yuan Shao's lieutenants Jiao Chu and Zhang Nan. Now that Guangnian City is heavily guarded, the county magistrate may have been murdered.

Han Zhan turned his head to look at Guo Jia on the other side, and saw him sitting on the horseback with his eyes slightly closed, shaking a feather fan gently in his hand, as if he was thinking about something.Han Zhan asked him, "Feng Xiao, what do you think?"

Guo Jia opened his eyes and glanced at Han Zhan, and said lazily, "Master, this city wall is only one foot high. If you want to attack by force, it will take half a day at most!"

"Dian Wei!" Hearing what Guo Jia said, Han Zhan knew that he might have to use a strong attack to capture Guangnian City, so he ordered Dian Wei: "You lead the troops of the headquarters to attack the city!"

Even though Dian Wei still has the status of a military lord, his soldiers and horses have reached [-], including sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, and crossbowmen.After receiving Han Zhan's order, Dian Wei agreed, and rushed towards the city with his troops and horses.

There are only [-] county soldiers in Guangnian City, and the rest are temporarily recruited civilians.Seeing thousands of people rushing over shouting, not to mention the common people were so frightened that their legs trembled, even the county soldiers' minds went blank.Especially the few dozen or so archers on the city wall, before Dian Wei and his men rushed into the range, the arrows in their hands had already been shot.After drawing a beautiful arc in the air, it landed in an open space.

The team of archers next to him saw his archers throwing arrows indiscriminately, and couldn't help but cursed.With his scolding, these archers without any combat experience shot arrows faster, and the arrows they shot all landed in the open space without exception.

The team leader was furious, took the bow in his hand, and beat the archers head-to-head and cursed: "The enemy is still one arrow away, so you shoot indiscriminately, and when they rush to the city, you will die because of your arms." I can’t draw the bow and shoot the arrow. Remember it, if anyone shoots the arrow without hearing my order, I will chop off both of his claws.”

The archers who had been beaten and scolded obediently stopped shooting, but nervously watched the Han Jiajun rushing over, waiting patiently for the team leader to issue the command to release the arrows.

The team leader stared at the attacking troops rushing towards the city, silently calculating how far they were from the city wall.Seeing that the Han family army rushed into the place of arrows, he quickly raised his right hand high and shouted loudly: "Get ready!" Following his command, more than a dozen archers raised their bows and arrows again, aiming at the charging man. crowd.

When Han's army was only thirty steps away from the city wall, he swung his hand down and shouted loudly, "Shoot the arrow!" Following his command, more than a dozen sharp arrows shot down from the top of the city and flew into the city. among the dense crowd.After being hit by arrows, a few unlucky Han family soldiers fell to the ground with a thud, and the people behind stepped on them regardless, and continued to rush towards the city wall.

The bow and arrow at the top of the city fired another round, and the arrows shot were like sand scattered in the river, which had no effect at all.They were discovered by the strong crossbowmen below the city, and after two rounds of continuous shooting, these archers fell to the top of the city with arrows.

The bamboo ladder was erected on the city wall, and the soldiers of the Han family army climbed up nimbly with their knives in their mouths.The defenders above would not allow them to climb up to the top of the city easily. They either stabbed down with poles and ladders, or smashed down the soldiers on the bamboo ladder with rolling wood and rocks.Falling bamboo ladders or fallen soldiers would often hit other soldiers below, and the screams could be heard endlessly for a while.

However, there were too many people and too many bamboo ladders who couldn't hold Dianwei up, so if one fell, two or more climbed up again.Soon nearly a hundred bamboo ladders were set up on the top of the city, and more and more soldiers of the Han family army climbed up the bamboo ladders.

The county magistrate of Guangnian who commanded the battle on the tower was a minor official under Yuan Shao, who had just taken over the post of county magistrate two days ago.Unexpectedly, before his seat was warmed up, he met Han Zhan leading an army.There were only five hundred soldiers in the city, and Han Zhan's army could not be stopped no matter what, but he thought that his wife and children were still in Jizhou, and surrendering was impossible, so he had to bite the bullet and prepare for battle.At this moment, seeing more and more soldiers of the Han family army have climbed over the crenel, fighting with the county soldiers and ordinary people on the city wall, his heart suddenly fell into an ice hole, and he knew that it was only a matter of time before the city fell.

After Dian Wei climbed the city wall, he swung his halberds and was invincible. When he saw more than 40 soldiers of his own, he shouted, "Follow me!" and ran down the stairs towards the city.

There were only ten county soldiers guarding the city gate. Seeing a group of Han family troops rushing towards him under the leadership of a ferocious burly man, they were so frightened that their legs went limp and they retreated repeatedly holding their weapons.Seeing that his subordinates were so useless, Shi Chang had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush forward, but before the spear in his hand could be stabbed, Dian Wei's iron halberd had already smashed his head, smashing his brains and killing him on the spot .The rest of the county soldiers, when they saw the big man rushing up and down with their halberds in their hands, and their elders were killed on the spot, who dared to hit the stone with an egg, quickly dropped the weapons in their hands and knelt down to beg for mercy.

Dian Wei didn't bother to pay attention to these county soldiers, but ordered the soldiers who followed: "Hurry up and open the city gate!"

Just as Dian Wei arranged for manpower to open the city gate, Han Zhan, who was watching the battle from a distance, felt that the city was about to be broken, so he quickly told Zhao Yun, "Zilong, as soon as the city gate is opened, you rush in with your cavalry."

Hearing Han Zhan giving Zhao Yun an order, Guo Jia beside him asked casually, "Master, how do you know that the city is about to be destroyed?"

Han Zhan pointed at the city that was still fighting fiercely in the distance, and said with a smile: "Feng Xiao, don't you see that Dian Wei has already climbed the city wall? In my estimation, he will kill the guards at the city gate soon. Open the gate and welcome the army into the city!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a gap in the closed city gate in the distance, and then the gap became wider and wider, and the two gates were all opened with little effort.Zhao Yungao raised the gentian silver gun in his hand, and shouted: "Cavalry follow me!" Then he swung the gun forward and rode out first.

Seeing the cavalry rushing past him, Guo Jia just smiled lightly, while Xun You said with emotion: "The Shijun is really good at predicting things, and the Lord Dianjun really opened the city gate."

The magistrate of Guangnian, standing on the tower, watched helplessly as the cavalry of the Han family army rushed down the city along the official road, and then rushed into the city through the open city gate.He sighed and smiled sadly: "My lord, I have tried my best!" After speaking, he drew out his long sword and wiped it on his neck. The corpse stood there for a while, and then fell limply on the city wall.

Just when Han Zhan was about to lead the army into the city, Guo Jia suddenly said again: "Master, since Guangnian has been occupied, why not let the army rest here for a few days before marching towards Jizhou?"

Guo Jia's words made Han Zhan a little confused.He stared at Guo Jia, and asked puzzledly: "Feng Xiao, why do you want to rest here? Don't you know that soldiers are precious and fast?"

Guo Jia smiled again, and said in a voice that only he and Han Zhan could hear: "If Jia's predictions are correct, Gongsun Zan also hopes that you can fight quickly, and he will come when you and Yuan Shao fight to the death. Sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Han Zhanru was stunned by Guo Jia's words. He nodded and said, "What Feng Xiao said is very true, so let's rest here for two more days and wait for the news from Xunxian Cheng to see the matter he secretly sent someone to handle." matter, whether there is a result."

Chapter 0095 Accidentally Sealed Marquis

Not long after Gongsun Zan and Han Zhan's army was dispatched, Zhang Yan, who was far away in Montenegro, received a report from the spies.He quickly summoned all his trusted generals to the conference hall to discuss with everyone about sending reinforcements to the expedition.

Seeing that all his subordinates had arrived, Zhang Yan asked Hu Zhi who was sitting on the lower left: "Military Master, now that Gongsun Zan and Young Master Han have dispatched troops to attack Yuan Shao, what should we do?"

Hu Zhi is now Zhang Yan's military adviser, responsible for advising him.Hearing his question at this moment, he immediately stood up and replied: "General, since we have already made an appointment with Young Master Han, we should send troops as soon as possible."

Sui Gu, who was visiting Zhang Yan, was the leader of another Montenegro army.Hearing Hu Zhi's words, he couldn't help interjecting and asked: "Mr. Hu, if we go to assist Yuan Shao in the three-party melee, after he defeats the two armies, maybe he will share some benefits with us. What do you think?" ?"

Although Zhang Yan was very dissatisfied with Sui Gu's interjection, it was not easy to turn against him in front of many subordinates, so he could only say to Hu Zhi: "Military division, tell me what you think?"

Hu Zhi stood up, bowed slightly to Zhang Yan, and then said: "General, after Yuan Shao has gained a firm foothold in Jizhou, he will attack with troops. Although we have millions of people, we are not the opponent of Yuan Shao's soldiers who fought in a hundred battles. Therefore, we must assist Gongsun Zan or Young Master Han to eliminate Yuan Shao to prevent future troubles."

After hearing this, Sui Gu asked again: "Mr. Hu, are you so confident that Yuan Shao will be defeated? Maybe in a short time, Yuan Shao will be able to beat Gongsun Zan and Young Master Han to death."
