I have three hundred soldiers, all of whom can warm wine and kill Hua Xiong

Longxian City, near the city gate.

The Eighteen Tiandao Guards gathered around Wei Chu.

"After Niu Shisan and I left, Gouzi was responsible for leading the Eighteen Cavalry of the Tiandao Guards to continue the operation."

"Next, we have to drive Ma Teng, Ma Chao and others like ducks to plunder all over Liangzhou. Remember, don't let them leave too much surplus food on their hands."

"If Ma Teng and others only grab food but don't kill people, then the task of killing will fall on you. Anyway, the people you kill will also be counted on Ma Teng and others."

When Gouzi nodded heavily, Wei Chu continued: "If this continues for one year, there will no longer be aristocratic families in Liangzhou."

After the Liangzhou family was killed, Wei Chuhui accompanied Cai Yong to Liangzhou to take up his post.

When the land reform is implemented in Liangzhou, only a small part of the land originally controlled by the family will be distributed to the people. Wei Chu can easily win the hearts and minds of the people in Liangzhou.

After winning the hearts and minds of the people, and using a small portion of the land of the aristocratic families as military merit rewards, Wei Chu could easily arm an army loyal to Wei Chu in Liangzhou.

Most of the remaining land will be firmly controlled by Wei Chu.

"In addition, Ma Teng and Han Sui don't have many soldiers and horses anymore. Every time you take action in the future, you must remember to be cautious and don't kill all the soldiers and horses in Ma Teng's hands!"

Ma Teng has fewer soldiers and horses, so he consumes less food.

As less food is consumed, Ma Teng's frequency of raiding noble families will also decrease.

Therefore, Ma Teng must keep the number of soldiers and horses at least five thousand.

After some explanation.

Wei Chu quietly left Long County with Niu Shisan.

Almost at the same time that Wei Chu and Niu Shisan left Long County, Bingzhou Governor Ding Yuan personally led [-] Bingzhou troops to a place not far from Huaili City.

Ding Yuan's adopted son Lu Bu personally led a thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry and arrived at Huaili City first.

Under Huaili City.

Lu Bu wears a purple gold crown with three prongs and a head-swallowing animal face.

He was sitting on a big maroon horse, with pride in his eyes.

Lu Bu was good at riding and shooting, and had extraordinary physical strength. He was called the "Flying General".

He is the Cavalry Commander under Ding Yuan, and he is also the strongest general under Ding Yuan.

"My reputation will be famous all over the world starting from Huaili City."

Lu Bu held Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand. After whispering, he turned to look at the general beside him.

Beside Lu Bu, there was a tall military commander.

This person's name is Gao Shun.

"Gao Shun, you personally lead the people forward and ask the Huaili defenders to open the city gate."

"The adoptive father will lead the main force to Huaili City this evening. I want the defenders of Huaili City to prepare in advance for the adoptive father's dinner."

"Here!"

Gao Shun hugged Lu Bu, then clapped his horse and came to the gate of Huaili City.

Looking towards the top of the city, Gao Shun shouted loudly: "Where is the guard on the city?"

As Gao Shun finished speaking, a voice from the top of Huaili City quickly answered: "I am Lao Chai of the New Army Village. Who is shouting loudly below the city?"

"Old Chai?"

Gao Shun muttered in a low voice and took a careful look towards the top of the city.

On top of the city, there is a village chief who calls himself Lao Chai.

He looks about 40 years old, short and dark-skinned, like an old farmer who has just put down his hoe.

Can such a person be a village chief?

This made Gao Shun start to doubt the combat effectiveness of the new army.

But soon, Gao Shun calmed down and shouted to the top of Huaili City: "In the name of General Lu Bu, the cavalry commander under the governor of Bingzhou, I ask you to open the city gate and let our army enter Huaili City to rest." . In addition, Mr. Ding, the governor of Bingzhou, has been tired of traveling all the way. Please prepare a banquet to welcome the wind."

"Oh, it turns out friendly forces have arrived."

Lao Chai smiled and continued: "There is a large open space outside Huaili City. My general has given instructions before. The reinforcements from Bingzhou have arrived at Huaili City and they can choose a place to camp outside the city."

"As for entering the city, that's not necessary. Huaili City is not big and there is no extra place for you to camp."

"By the way, there is not much food and grass in Huaili City, and we can't prepare a banquet. If you have extra food and grass, you can support us. Now we are most short of wine and meat."

Hearing Lao Chai's words, Gao Shun frowned immediately.

From Lao Chai's words, Gao Shun didn't feel any respect.

Fortunately, Gao Shun is a very calm person.

He does not tolerate anger and is not easily swayed by his emotions.

He stared at Lao Chai and continued to speak loudly: "There is no one on the city wall who has more weight to speak. I don't believe that what he said represents the attitude of the New Army."

After Gao Shun finished speaking, someone poked his head out from the city.

"Zhang Biao, the commander of the New Army, warns you that it is best to stay away from Huaili City when camping under the city, so as not to interfere with the normal operation of Huaili City."

Gao Shun still wanted to speak, but the sound of his large intestine started to sound again.

"It's getting dark, and judging from the weather, there will be strong winds and rain tonight. I kindly remind you that you'd better set up camp early."

Gao Shun stared at the three large intestines on the top of the city for a moment, then turned his horse's head and returned to Lu Bu's side.

"General, Huaili City has arranged for three village commanders to deal with us. It seems that the new army generals in Huaili City are not planning to show up."

"In addition, I felt a sense of hostility from the three new army commanders. It seems that the new army in Huaili City does not welcome us. It may not be easy for us to enter Huaili City."

After hearing Gao Shun's words, Lu Bu's expression gradually became gloomy.

The Bingzhou Army cannot enter Huaili City, how can they gain military glory?

The [-] Bingzhou troops marched southward in mighty force, but they will ultimately return without success.

In addition, this was the first time that Lu Bu left Bingzhou and followed Ding Yuan on an expedition.

His adoptive father Ding Yuan asked Lu Bu to be the vanguard. If Lu Bu could not get the defenders of Huaili City to open the city gate, even if Ding Yuan would not be angry with Lu Bu because of this incident, he would definitely be extremely disappointed with Lu Bu's performance.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu rode directly to the gate of Huaili City with Fang Tian's painted halberd in hand.

"I am Lu Bu of Wuyuan County, and I am the Cavalry Commander under the command of Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou. The 2 soldiers of Bingzhou arrived at Huaili City in accordance with your Majesty's imperial decree. By not opening the gate of Huaili City, you intend to disobey the emperor's order. ?"

Lu Bu finished his words and his large intestine poked out from the city wall again.

"The rebels have been defeated, and the Bingzhou army can return to Bingzhou."

"Huh, [-] Bingzhou troops are marching south in a mighty manner. How can we just leave? Today you will open the city gate and prepare the dinner. Today's unpleasantness can be put aside. If you continue to want to keep us out of the city, You must pay the price for your actions."

After hearing Lu Bu's words clearly, Dachang on the top of the city rolled his eyes and shouted loudly: "You bastard, what do you mean by waiting one bite at a time? Are you humiliating us?"

"Let me tell you, it's not impossible for you to enter the city if you want. You are the adopted son of my general. For the sake of the family, we will naturally not make things difficult for you."
