Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 374 Surrendering Fan Chou
After that, things became much simpler. Li Jue and Guo Si divided their troops into two groups. Li Jue led his troops to bypass Ma Teng's army secretly and went to Chang'an, while Guo Si was in charge of defense in Fufeng City, waiting for the opportunity.

A few days later, there was dust flying outside the city and banners all over the sky, but Xu Rong and Fan Chou had already led the army to Fufeng City.

"General Guo Si, Xu Rong and Fan Chou, these two ungrateful rats, I would like to lead a group of troops to intercept and kill them, so as to comfort the spirit of the Prime Minister." Seeing Xu Rong and Fan Chou leading the troops, Duan Wei stood up and greeted Guo Si please fight.

"Xu Rong and Fan Chou came from afar, and I also want to know how powerful they are, so you can go down and test it out for me." Seeing Duan Yao's eagerness to fight, Guo Si nodded and said.

"Slow? Why do you need to use swords and guns to deal with Xu Rong and Fan Chou." Just when Duan Yan was about to lead the troops away, Jia Xu next to him smiled mysteriously and stopped Duan Yan's actions?

"Xu Rong and Fan Chou betrayed the prime minister and recognized the thief as their father. Their crimes are serious. If they don't kill them, it will be difficult to solve the hatred in my heart. Why should you obstruct?" Seeing Jia Xu coming out to obstruct, Duan Yan said reluctantly.

"General Duan, the current plan, the Prime Minister has passed away, how to win Chang'an is the top priority, and it will not be too late to repay all grievances." Seeing that Jia Xu had something to say, Guo Si spoke to stop Duan Yan.Guo Bang and Jia Xu have worked together for many years, and they know Jia Xu very well, knowing that Guo Bang's unique skills will not be targeted indiscriminately, so he speaks to stop Duan Yao, and wants to hear what Jia Xu has to say.

"Everyone, please listen to me. The prime minister is dead, and it was Wang Yun and Ma Teng who killed the prime minister. Although Xu Rong and Fan Chou defected to Wang Yun and the others, they must have some friendship with us. Besides, the soldiers and horses they brought were The elite around the prime minister back then, we fought to the death with Xu Rong and Fan Chou but let Ma Teng take advantage of it, so why bother? Rest assured, I, Jia Xu, will let you avenge the prime minister, as long as you win Chang'an and take charge of the court, everyone Aren't you afraid that you won't have a chance to take revenge?" Seeing that everyone was agitated, Jia Xu comforted him.

After that, I saw Jia Xu walking to Guo Bang's side, whispering softly in Guo Bang's ear, and after a while, Guo Bang's face gradually showed joy.

"Hahaha, sir, this plan is very clever, I will do it now." After hearing Jia Xu's words, Guo Bang laughed, and then saw him say to the lieutenant general behind him: "Li Meng Hu Zhen, you bring two hundred soldiers. Follow me out of town."

"I didn't expect Li Jue and Guo Si to come all this way without the slightest precaution." Outside Fufeng City, Xu Rong looked at Fufeng City in front of him and said to Fan Chou beside him.

"Hmph, Li Jue and Guo Si sent someone to send a surrender form, and they will intercept us on the road again. Even if they received the news, the soldiers are now fleeing. It is difficult to organize an effective battle." After listening to Xu Rong But Fan Chou said without paying attention.

"I've heard about this too, but I don't understand why Wang Situ didn't agree to let them surrender? As long as Wang Situ gives the order, we old brothers in the past won't have to fight to the death." Xu Rong didn't agree. If you don't want to fight with your compatriots in the past, you must have feelings for being together for many years.

"Hey, we are now members of the imperial court, so naturally we can no longer think about the kindness of the past, we can only be our own masters." Speaking of this, Fan Chou also sighed.Although they are unwilling to confront their former compatriots with swords, these things are not something they can decide.

"The enemy has come out." At this moment, the gate of Fufeng City suddenly opened.A group of soldiers filed out from inside and saw this scene.Xu Rong and Fan Chou's soldiers were startled, thinking that the battle was about to start.

"Get ready to fight." Seeing this scene, Fan Chou also grabbed his long knife and ordered to the soldiers behind him.

"Wait, it's a little strange, they don't look like they are going to fight." At this time, Xu Rong saw the difference, because there were only more than 200 soldiers and horses leaving the city, and after the 200 soldiers and horses, there were a few The bullock cart, the bullock cart was full of goods, a familiar figure appeared next to the team at this time, it was Guo Bang, behind Guo Bang Li Meng and Hu Zhen followed closely, their posture was not at all intimidating The meaning of the battle between Xu Rong and Fan Chou.

"What the hell are they doing? Xu Rong, go over and have a look. The army is ready to fight." Looking at Guo Bang's behavior, it was really strange, and Fan Chou couldn't make up his mind, but as a soldier, Fan Chou naturally wouldn't let his guard down. So let the army prepare for the battle, but let Xu Rong go over to see the situation.

"General Li Jue is safe and sound, what are you doing?" Xu Rong patted his horse forward and asked Guo Si who had already rushed towards this side.

"Hahaha, General Xu Rong, you and I have been officials in the same dynasty for many years, why don't you recognize our old friends now that you have climbed a high branch? I sent someone to send the surrender to Chang'an a few days ago. There will be an imperial decree from His Majesty calling for safety, so that we will have the opportunity to be officials in the same court again." Looking at Xu Rong in front of him, Guo Si looked at Li Meng and Hu Zhen behind him, and then said with a laugh.

As soon as Guo Si said this, he gave Xu Rong a signal, that is, Guo Si didn't know that Wang Yun didn't accept their surrender, and thought that the court would not refuse anyone who came like before.This made Xu Rong a little uneasy. Although he said he was the master, his soldiers had already killed him, but they didn't know the reason.This is too uninteresting.

"So that's the case. We didn't hear about this matter when we dispatched troops. I think it didn't take long for General Guo Si to send out this letter of surrender." Just when Xu Rong wanted to tell the truth, Hu Zhen behind him But they talked, anyway, they marched fast all the way this time, and didn't waste any time.It seems reasonable to say this.

"Since there is no news so far, it seems that we were delayed on the way. Since we will be officials in the same court in the future, I have some wine and meat here, and I will give it to the brothers to calm the shock. A few kind words in front of the general. Let the brothers have a good future." As he said that, Guo Si asked the people behind him to send up the wine and meat, as if he wanted to make friends with Xu Rongfan.

"Then I would like to thank General Guo Si for his kindness." Said Fan Chou arched his hands to Guo Si and said.

"Now that the imperial court's imperial edict has not yet been issued, it is inconvenient for me to invite the two of you into the city to reminisce about the old days. How about you two please camp outside the city first, and when the imperial imperial edict arrives, I will follow the two generals back to Chang'an to return to your order. ?” Seeing that Xu Rong and Fan Chou accepted their wine and meat, Guo Si said with a smile.

"General Guo's arrangement is very good, we will do as the general said." Fan Chou also followed Guo Si's words.

"Hahaha, Xu Rong and Fan Chou are really easy to deceive. We will gain a lot if we go to rob the camp tonight." Guo Bang laughed and said to everyone after returning from outside the city.

"Hehe, how did General Guo Si know that the two of them did not deceive the general? Think about it carefully, the general's surrender form has long been sent to Chang'an, so Xu Rong and Fan Chou really don't know it now? I think they are hiding it on purpose. , I want to take advantage of our unpreparedness and sneak attack our army." Hearing Guo Si's words, Jia Xu said thoughtfully.

"In my opinion, what should we do?" Guo Si didn't refute when he heard this, but just continued to ask, as if he would listen to Jia Xu's arrangements for everything.

"If I'm guessing right, Fan Chou and Xu Rong have long nights and dreams, and they will come to attack us tonight, but it happens to be the best time for us to attack them." After finishing speaking, Jia Xu revealed his plan.

At the same time, Xu Rong and Fan Chou outside Fufeng City had already set up camp and were discussing the next move.

"General Fan Chou, why didn't you make it clear to General Guo Si? We must have done things together before, even if we were our own masters, we should have a serious battle. How can we deceive others like this?" Regarding Fan Chou's actions Vanity obviously didn't agree, but he also knew that Fan Chou's approach was not wrong, it must be a war.

"General Xu Rong, you still remember the love back then. Although you and I still remember the love back then, I don't know if they will remember us? Don't forget that Li Jue and Guo Si's ability is all in you and me Yes, I won’t lie to them, can we capture Fufeng with our 2 men?” Although we know that many soldiers and horses have fled Fufeng, but after years of cooperation, we still know the ability of Li Jue and Guo Si, Fan Chou , so he didn't have much confidence in capturing Fufeng, but Guo Bang's words today made Fan Chou feel that he had an opportunity, so he followed Guo Bang's words, hoping to paralyze Guo Bang.

"So the general already has a strategy against the enemy?" Xu Rong asked with interest after hearing Fan Chou's words.

"Since Guo Si is not hostile to us, we are going to sneak attack tonight. As long as we open the gate of Fufeng City, we are not afraid that we will not be able to attack Fufeng City." Fan Chou's face turned cold, and he said solemnly.

At midnight, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, a pair of soldiers dressed in black quietly came to Fufeng City.Under a city, they took out the crossbow arrows from behind and shot at the soldiers on guard at the top of the city.

Only two soft "swish" sounds were heard, and two short arrows were lightly pierced on the necks of two night watch soldiers, and the two soldiers fell to the side at once.At this time, I saw these black-clothed soldiers took out the rope and threw it over the top of the city, and then one by one they quietly entered the city hoping for the rope.But not long after, a "squeak" sound was heard, the gate of Fufeng City was opened from the inside, and a soldier in black came out and waved to the outside of the gate.

"Hahaha, our people succeeded, brothers follow me." Fan Chou laughed loudly when he saw the soldiers in black opened the city gate, and rushed towards the wide open city gate with the soldiers who had already ambushed around. past.

"Brothers, if you kill and capture Fufeng City, you have made a great contribution." Seeing Fan Chou leading the troops out.Xu Rong also shouted to the soldiers behind him.He took the lead and rushed out.

"Kill!" There were shouts of killing all of a sudden, and countless soldiers jumped out of their hiding places and rushed towards the open city gate.

"Hey, these two useless wastes are so easily fooled, do they really think that Fufeng City is so easy to capture?" Seeing Xu Rong and Fan Chou continuously leading troops towards Fufeng City, Li Meng was in the dark. It was Hu Zhen who was fat about agriculture and said with a smile.

"Let them go crazy for a while. When they all enter the city, it's time for us to leave the station." Hearing Li Meng's words, Hu Zhen said indifferently. Obviously, Hu Zhen was used to killing on the battlefield, and he didn't understand the situation in front of him. Not as excited as Li Meng.

"It's a little strange, why didn't I see an enemy come out to stop it." Xu Rong led his troops into Fufeng City, and there was no sound in Fufeng City for a while, which made Xu Rong unconsciously feel a little bad, but I felt a bad feeling covering my whole body.

"It's true, even if the soldiers and horses of Fufeng County flee seriously, Mr. Ye should have some soldiers and horses, why is it so quiet." When Xu Rong said this, Fan Chou immediately stopped and thought.

"Would it be a trap? That guy Guo Si was not given for nothing." Immediately afterwards, Xu Rong smelled danger. After being with Guo Si for many years, Xu Rong and Fan Chou still had some grudges against Guo Si's ability. .

"In this case, let's retreat first." At this time, Fan Chou was also guilty. He must have only [-] troops. If he fails, he will have no chance to turn the tables.

"It's too late to leave at this time." At this moment, a voice came from the slant, and then in the surrounding darkness, one after another torches were lit, and where the torches illuminated, a figure was walking He stared at him in front of him, but it was Guo Bang whom he had seen during the day.And the soldiers and horses standing densely around Guo Bang have already shown that they have been surrounded by others without knowing it.

"It's not easy to fall into the trap, go back quickly." Seeing Guo Bang, Xu Rong knew he had been fooled, and hurriedly led the soldiers back.

"Damn it, Guo Bang, I will fight with you." Unlike Xu Rong who led his troops to retreat, Fan Chou killed Guo Bang with his illness.Guo Bang's idea is very simple. Since he has already been ambushed by others, it is not easy to rush out, but it is better to kill him. As long as he can kill Guo Bang, he will not be able to win.

"Fight with me? It depends on whether you have the ability." Seeing Fan Chou leading troops to kill, Guo Bang laughed, waved his hands behind him, and saw a group of archers coming out.

"Swish, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh." As soon as the archers appeared, they shot and killed Fan Chou and the others. With the continuous shooting of feather arrows, people around Fan Chou kept falling down.

"General, retreat quickly, we will block the enemy for you." Seeing the feather arrows are powerful.Fan Chou suffered heavy casualties, so a soldier held a shield to help Fan Chou stand in front and said.

at the same time.The entire Fufeng City boiled like a frying pan, and shouts of killing rang out everywhere.At this time, Xu Rong led his soldiers and horses to the gate of the city again.

"Brothers, fight harder. As long as we rush out of this gate, we can escape and ascend to heaven. Brothers, follow me." Seeing that he finally reached the city gate, Xu Rong once again boosted his morale and led his troops Assault towards Chongmen, as long as he leaves the city, no one will be able to leave Xu Rong behind.

"Hahaha, Xu Rong, you are really naive. Don't you think that Mr. Jia Xu's strategy is so easy for you to escape." At this moment, the lights on the city tower were suddenly brightly lit, and many enemy soldiers appeared on the scene On the top of the tower.A feathered arrow had already aimed at Xu Rong and the others below, while Duan Yan was standing on the tower looking at Xu Rong and his soldiers and sneered.

"It seems that Xu Rong and Fan Chou can't go out of the city anymore. Let's go and clear their camp." Li Meng outside the city said to Hu Zhen when he heard the shouts of killing in Fufeng City and saw the flames in Fufeng City.

Jia Xu arranged for the two of them to be outside Fufeng City, in order to block the retreat of Xu Rong and Fan Chou. Once Xu Rong and Fan Chou broke out of the encirclement, Hu Zhen and Li Meng could stop them and completely wipe out Xu Rong and Fan Chou. Seeing the current situation, it is impossible for Xu Rong and Fan Chou to fight out of the city. Li Meng and Hu Zhen can then complete their second mission, which is to attack the camp that Xu Rong and Fan Chou stayed outside the city. Most of the soldiers and horses of Fan Chou had been trapped in Fufeng City, and there were no generals in the camp. Li Meng and Hu Zhen just took the opportunity to take it down, but this did not show the ability of Hu Zhen and Li Meng.

"Swish, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh." Arrows rained every now and then, and the two armies started a bloody fight in the streets and alleys of Fufeng. Under the hand-to-hand combat, the two armies had nowhere to hide, and could only fight with all their strength.The number of people around Fan Chou became less and less as the battle progressed, so he could only flee towards the city gate with his only troops. For Fan Chou now, he only had one hope, and that was that Xu Rong had opened the city gate and won them a chance of survival. .

"Brothers, fight back with me if you want to survive. As long as you fight out of the city, we will have a chance." Fan Chou roared heart-piercingly, raising the morale of his soldiers and horses. Under normal circumstances, once the will to fight is destroyed, all that awaits them is death.

"General Fan Chou, it's bad, the city gate has been occupied by Duan Yan, we can't rush out at all." At this moment, a soldier rushed to Fan Chou and said to Fan Chou.

"Om" Hearing this soldier's words, Quan Kuang felt as if his head was about to explode?How could this be?A few days ago, Dong Zhuo was killed, and he took refuge in Wang Yun. He thought that he had embarked on a bright road, but he didn't expect it. In just a short period of time, he actually defeated Fufeng City. Could it be that this was his fate? Doomed to die at the hands of his comrades-in-arms for many years?

"General Fan Chou, you and I are both the prime minister's subordinates, why bother to fight for life and death here, you surrender." Just when Fan Chou was a little dazed, a voice came, it was Guo Si's voice, and as Guo Si began to persuade him to surrender , the shouts of killing all around gradually subsided, and Guo Bang's soldiers and horses began to retreat, leaving a buffer zone between the two armies.

"I betrayed the prime minister and took refuge in Wang Yun, don't you want to kill me?" Fan Chou was really moved when he heard Guo Si's words, but he must have already taken refuge in Wang Yun, Guo Si may not be able to tolerate himself, these words Fan Chou really can't Don't make it clear.

"General Fan Chou, what are you talking about? You and I have known each other for many years. I don't know what kind of person you are. I understand that if you were not desperate, how could you surrender to Wang Yun? As long as you are willing to surrender to me, from now on we will work together for If the prime minister takes revenge, the past will naturally be written off." Hearing Fan Chou's words, Guo Si knew there was a door, so he immediately said to Fan Chou.
