Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 350 Chaos is Difficult to Understand
Qu Yi's slander belongs to his slander, and he also understood that Lu Bu took him away alone for the sake of saving his wife and daughter. For a person like Lu Bu, this is already quite rare.

Lu Bu carried Yan Shi on his shoulders, Qu Yi followed behind Lu Lingqi, and they quietly climbed down the wall like thieves.

Life is important, and everyone doesn't care about their image at this time, being able to escape from danger is more important than anything else!

There was already a fight at the back door in the distance, Lu Bu raised his eyes and looked around, feeling that many people were rushing towards this way with weapons raised, so he hurriedly carried Fang Tian's painting halberd and staggered towards the path.

Everyone looked up and saw that the city was full of flames. Someone kept throwing torches on the roof and set fire to it.

"Lu Bu is dead!"

"Lu Bu is dead!"

Hearing this sound, the city became even more chaotic, the broken soldiers trampled on each other, and some people went crazy and chopped up anyone they saw.

Lu Bu was furious when he heard this, but he was still drunk and his limbs were weak. He knew it was not time to be brave, so several people rushed into the alley, but met several soldiers head-on.

Those soldiers were carrying their burdens, and there were several corpses of old and young women and children under their feet. Seeing someone approaching, they quickly raised their knives.

When the two sides met each other, they were both stunned for a moment. The soldiers saw Lu Bu's appearance, and saw that they were carrying Fang Tian's painted halberd, and they were carrying a woman. They shouted, "Here Lu Bu is!"

Lu Bu was furious when he heard that, he raised Fang Tian's painted halberd and stabbed at one person, but it was stuck crookedly and hit one person's shoulder. Come.

Lu Bu hated him so much that his footsteps were sloppy and he couldn't catch up. Seeing that the two were about to escape from the alley, Qu Yi and Lu Lingqi hurried to catch up, each with a halberd, pierced their backs and stabbed them to death on the ground.

It was the first time for Lu Bu to see Lu Lingqi killing someone. Seeing her swift and quick attack, he couldn't help being startled, and stabbed the struggling soldier in front of him to death.

Hearing people coming from a distance, several people hurriedly escaped from the alley and ran to a distance, while running, Lu Bu cursed inwardly, the city was in such a state of chaos, how could he gather the remnants?

Yang Chou led his men to hack to death all the guards inside the east and north gates, opened the city gates and set fire to them. Immediately, the flames of the city gates shot up, burned the city walls, and illuminated the sky.

He led people out of the city gate on horseback, and seeing Huaicheng engulfed in flames, he smiled triumphantly. The task that Cao Cao entrusted to him was successfully completed!

The soldiers who were attacking Lu Bu's mansion in the city were Hao Meng's subordinates. He received Yuan Shu's secret order to kill Lu Bu and replace him. He also received a letter from Gao Mi, so he launched an attack in advance.

But Hao Meng didn't know that all of this was arranged by Cao Cao. At the same time, he took the opportunity to let Yang Chou burn the city gate and add fuel to the flames, just to fish in troubled waters.

Cao Jun had already waited outside the city, and when the city gate was set on fire, they rushed into the city, wiped out Hao Meng and Lu Bu's generals, and captured Huaicheng!
Seeing the commotion in the distance, it seemed that several army horses were coming, Yang Chou looked back at the burning city gate, and shouted to his subordinates: "Go north, to Montenegro!"

He has always been cautious in his actions. The city is in such a state of chaos that it is impossible to tell whether it is an enemy or a friend. Who knows if he will be killed by a single knife?
It is the best policy to leave the place of right and wrong first!

After hearing this, everyone followed Yang Chou and fled towards Montenegro.

In the camp outside the north gate, Zhao Yun saw that the city gate was on fire, so he hurriedly mobilized his soldiers and horses to leave the camp, only to see the opposite camp, Gao Shun rushed out with the trapped camp, blocking the road.

Seeing Zhao Yun come out, Gao Shun shouted sharply: "The chaos in the city is caused by the Youzhou army?"

"Does General Zhao want to take advantage of the fire?"

After Zhao Yun heard this, he got off his horse, cupped his hands and said, "General Mingjian, Yuan Lu is already an ally, and he has absolutely no intention of doing so!"

"Now Mr. Gong and Mr. Yu are also trapped in the city. Yun just wants to rescue Mr. Gong and Mr. Wen and help Marquis Wen put down the chaos. I hope the general will find out!"

Gao Shun pondered, wondering: "I really want to trust the general, but now the situation in the city is unclear, if the general enters the city and makes trouble, I can't afford it!"

Zhao Yun was silent, knowing that this was the time, Gao Shun would never trust anyone easily.

The two were in a stalemate like this. Seeing that the fire at the city gate was getting bigger and bigger, Gao Shunxian gradually lost his composure.

He was ordered to watch Zhao Yun here, but if the rebels in the city kill Lu Bu, it will be too late!

He was struggling in his heart, Zhao Yun saw him, and took the opportunity to say, "General, you can quickly lead troops into the city to rescue Marquis Wen, Zilong will never enter the city without authorization!"

Gao Shun listened, and just about to speak, he heard rumbling in the distance, which seemed to be the sound of horseshoes, and there were quite a few of them!
The two couldn't help looking to the north road, and after a while, an army horse rushed out, leading several generals, but it was Cao Jun's banner!
Gao Shun lost his voice: "Why is Cao Jun appearing here?"

He realized in an instant that he was afraid that the rebellion in the city was also written by the Cao family!

Isn't the other party in Chenliu? Why did he come to Hanoi?
Now it's broken, the inside should be combined with the outside, I'm afraid Marquis Wen is in danger!
But Zhao Yun said: "The general quickly enters the city, I will stop Cao Jun!"

Gao Shun heard this, and opened his eyes wide: "Didn't Cao Cao befriend the Yuan family? Why?"

Zhao Yun waved his spear, "General, the matter is urgent, if you can trust Zilong, please enter the city quickly!"

Gao Shun hesitated for a moment. Although he was afraid that Zhao Yun and Cao Jun were on the same side, he couldn't stop himself from doing so.

Now I can only gamble, trust Zhao Yun!

Thinking of this, he cupped his hands and said, "Since that's the case, then there will be General Lao!"

He immediately shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Follow me into the city!"

Hundreds of soldiers trapped in the camp followed Gao Shun in full armor and rushed into the burning city gate. On the way, several people's clothes and hair were burned, but no one retreated, and they rushed in silently without even the slightest hesitation.

Zhao Yun was amazed when he saw it.

At this time, Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan led their troops to the north city gate several miles away, but they saw two camps on both sides of the road, so they couldn't help hesitating.

In order to completely conceal their whereabouts, they did not send spies to investigate the situation at the north city gate. They just received an order to attack the city gate immediately when they saw the city gate was on fire.

Regardless of whether the city gate is on fire or not, as long as there is chaos in the city, they will find a way to break through the city gate and seize Huaicheng!
They also expected that someone would obstruct the other side, but the order they received was to enter the city at all costs!
The two rushed over without hesitation.

However, the gate of the camp was slowly opened, and a young white-robed general galloped out, blocking the road.

Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan reined in their horses subconsciously, and saw the opposite general yelled, "Who are you waiting for?"

"Changshan Zhao Zilong is here!"

Xia Houyuan was impatient in his heart, he laughed and said: "Where is the unknown man, come with me, and kill him together!"

After finishing speaking, he galloped out on his horse and headed straight for the opponent with dozens of cavalry!

Only then did Cao Ren come to his senses, and said in shock, "No!"

But it was too late, the gates of the villages on both sides opened at the same time, soldiers rushed out, Zhao Yun made a move, and hundreds of feathered arrows were thrown at Xia Houyuan and others!

Xia Houyuan heard the wind, and his soul flew away. It was late at night, and everyone was holding up torches. This was like a shining target!
He quickly threw away the torch, reined in his horse and fled, but it was too late, the rain of arrows fell, and there were screams everywhere. When Cao Ren led his troops to rush to the front, Xia Houyuan had already been hit by several arrows and fell to the ground, almost all his subordinates were dead!

Cao Ren quickly ordered someone to rescue Xia Houyuan. He was relieved to see that he was still alive, but seeing his injuries, he had been shot in the back, abdomen and arms, and he was powerless to fight any more!
Cao Ren was annoyed in his heart, and he defeated the general after a face-to-face meeting!
He remembered, isn't this Zhao Zilong the Youzhou Army General Zhao Yun who has shaken the North this year?
How could he help Lu Bu defend the city?

How could he block here?

This is the helplessness of war in this era.

Cao Jun has done a good enough job in terms of intelligence, and even grasped the evidence that Hao Meng colluded with Yuan Shu, so that he could rebel in advance, and even instigated Yang Chou to open the city gate.

But for Zhao Yun's secret arrival, he didn't have any information before, so that when Cao Jun wanted to break through the city, he was hindered by unexpected factors and was at a loss.

Similarly, Yuan Xi and Lu Bu did not have a lot of key information, which led to Huaicheng's current situation.

War is like a fog. Before the war, no one can claim to be able to foresight and fully grasp all the situation. After the war begins, it depends on whether the preparations of the two sides are sufficient and some luck!

The luck of Cao Ren's army was obviously not very good. He looked at the camps on both sides of the road and felt extremely disgusted.
But he knew that he was already advancing and never retreating!

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and shout: "Let's go together, and see the camps on both sides being breached!"

Seeing that the opponent was so decisive, Zhao Yun also sighed. Night battles are extremely dangerous, and it is not bad to be able to show some achievements in ordinary soldiers' training.

Moreover, Cao Jun has thousands of people like this, which is several times that of his own side. Fortunately, he can rely on the camp to defend!

He immediately shouted, "Keep the gate of the village!"

After hearing this, You Zhou's army immediately shouted and responded with high fighting spirit.

When Cao Ren saw it, he felt as if he had eaten a fly, so he had no choice but to command Cao soldiers to fill in with their lives, and stormed the gate of the village, trying to annihilate the Youzhou army here!
When Gao Shun was leading his troops to the city, Lu Bu and the others were finally discovered by the rebels.

Lu Bu had a clear mind before, so he found the nearest carriage and horse dealer and got two flatbed carriages.

He was pulling Yan's horse, and Qu Yi was pulling Lu Lingqi's horse. As soon as the two carriages got out of the gate, a group of rebels came from a distance.

When the soldiers saw Lu Bu, they brandished their knives and guns, shouted and rushed towards the carriage. Seeing him, Lu Bu shouted at Qu Yi, "Separate and go!"

"The city is no longer safe, get out of the city!"

He has completely lost confidence, and feels that Huaicheng has fallen into the enemy's hands, and now the most important thing is to save his life!

As for the subordinates in the mansion, he couldn't care less, now he didn't even have the confidence to break through with the four of them, so he could only run one by one!

I should have known that I shouldn't drink so much wine!
Seeing Lu Bu driving westward, Qu Yi sighed inwardly, shook the reins, and headed for the east gate where the fire was shining.

Huaicheng was completely in chaos, there were several forces inside and outside wrestling with each other, and even those who belonged to the same group couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe, and started killing each other.

Premeditated people, people who don't know, people who take advantage of the fire, people who are deeply involved, they can't tell what purpose they have to participate in when they meet the enemy, they are deeply involved, screaming and raising their swords and guns at each other, To stab at each other.

Struggling, unknown, survival, and killing, formed a huge chaos that no one could control, swept everyone, and no one could see the direction of it, as if it was the fate of the world.

The only thing that can witness all this peacefully is the night sky illuminated by fire.
