Lu Dynasty

Chapter 646 Hou Cheng Captured
"Overestimate yourself!" Yuan Shao looked at Hou Cheng rushing towards him, cursed disdainfully, and then roared, "Yan Liang! You have to live!" Yuan Shao gave an order, and a general flashed out behind him, riding his horse towards Hou Cheng.Originally, Yan Liang was much stronger than Hou Cheng, but now Yan Liang was still riding a horse, but Hou Cheng was standing on the ground, and Yan Liang knocked Hou Cheng's knife away with just one blow!Then look at Hou Cheng's trembling hands, blood gurgling down from the tiger's mouth.Yan Liang stretched his arms lightly, and captured Hou Cheng alive!Yuan Shao was very satisfied with Yan Liang's ability, he turned his face to our soldiers and said with a smile: "The commander has been captured, why don't you put down your weapons and surrender?"

The soldiers of our army are not the mob of Yuan Jun. Even if there is no leader, they will fight on their own, how can they surrender.A few Qu Zhang looked at each other and made a gesture that Yuan Shao didn't understand, and the thousand troops shouted in unison and rushed towards Yuan Shao.Yuan Shao was shocked, and hurriedly asked the archers to release arrows.Arrows rained down like raindrops, and the 1000 people in our army wailed everywhere!But one of them, Qu Chang, approached Yuan Shao under the cover of soldiers.He took out an arm crossbow from behind and roared with a ferocious smile: "Yuan Benchu, watch me avenge my lord!" The ferocious expression slowly approached Yuan Shao, and the arm crossbow shot three arrows at Yuan Shao in the shape of a character. About to hit the arrow, a big knife blocked the crossbow arrow, took advantage of the situation and cut Qu Chang into two sections, it turned out to be Yan Liang again!

Just when Qu Chang wanted to assassinate Yuan Shao, Hou Cheng's 1000 men had been completely lost, and a few people who were lucky enough to rush into Yuan Shao's army were quickly chopped into meat.Yuan Shao looked at the corpses all over the ground and was still in shock. The three crossbow arrows just now really frightened him a lot!Angrily, Yuan Shao walked up to the corpse of Qu Chang who assassinated him, and kicked fiercely on the face of the corpse. Suddenly, a terrifying smile appeared on that ferocious face. Yuan Shao was startled again and almost sat on the ground. Looking at it again, but it was still that ferocious face, Yuan Shao felt a little uneasy!

Lu Bu waited outside the city overnight with people, and I also waited overnight in the camp, but there was no news from Hou Cheng.After daybreak, Lu Bu and others were in Yuan Jun's field of vision, and Yuan Jun's junior was startled, and immediately invited Yuan Shao to the top of the city.Yuan Shao looked at Lu Bu at the bottom of the city, and immediately understood the reason. He smiled and had Hou Cheng tied to a wooden post and hung on the top of the city, and threw more than a thousand corpses of our soldiers down the tower.Lu Bu looked at Hou Cheng who was tied up like Jesus, and then looked at the corpses on the ground. He was so angry that he wanted to attack the city, but Guan Yu stopped him again. Helpless, Lu Bu could only clean up the corpses under the city first.Seeing Lu Bu's actions, Yuan Shao stimulated him and said, "Lu Fengxian, it seems that the death of your eldest brother has made you grow a lot, but someone persuaded you! Tell you, this thing called waiting is not dead yet, do you want it?" ?" After finishing speaking, Yuan Shao whipped Hou Cheng again, Hou Cheng let out a scream, tilted his head, and seemed to pass out!

Lu Bu was furious, he pointed at Yuan Shao, he was so angry that he couldn't speak, his originally handsome face became very ferocious, and the murderous aura on his body seemed to be turned into real ice, Yuan Shao was happier seeing Lu Bu's angry appearance .Looking at Lu Bu's expression, Guan Yu knew that if Lu Bu was not allowed to wake up again, God knows what Lu Bu would do!But Guan Yu also knew that for Lu Bu, persuasion was useless!Guan Yu had an idea, and he softly shouted in Lu Bu's ear: "Brother is here!" Lu Bu immediately shuddered, and all his anger disappeared!Seeing that it worked, Guan Yu whispered in Lu Bu's ear again: "Brother is still waiting for news from us in the camp, pack up the corpses of our soldiers, and go back and report!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are back in camp!Yuan Shao watched Guan Yu say something to Lu Bu on the city wall, and he was able to restrain Lu Bu, feeling very incredible!

Lu Bu returned to the camp with more than a thousand corpses, and our army was suddenly devastated.After the sadness passed, everyone was filled with righteous indignation.I ordered people to arrange all the soldiers who died in our army, and then ordered a generous burial, but I didn't see Hou Cheng among the corpses, so I asked Lu Bu, "Feng Xian, where is General Hou?"

"Hanging on the head of Daijun City!" Lu Bu replied angrily, "Why do you mention that kind of trash?" Lu Bu has always had a dislike for defeated generals, even though he himself often loses battles.However, he thought that he had fallen for the opponent's trick, while the others were because of their inability.Hou Chengcheng was disliked by me and Lu Bu, but now he lost the battle again, not only lost his troops, but was also captured alive.Lu Bu felt that he had disgraced our army, so he disdained him very much!

I thought Hou Cheng had been killed by Yuan Jun and his body was hung on the city tower for public display, so I sighed and said, "I had a bad feeling for a long time, and I didn't want Hou Cheng to go, but he insisted on going, which is considered loyal and brave." Send people to get General Hou’s body back, and bury him generously! His family will be compensated according to our military regulations!”

"Brother! General Hou is not dead yet!" Guan Yu stood up and said, "When he came back, Yuan Shao whipped General Hou. He could still scream at that time! He must have been captured alive!"

"He didn't surrender?" I was a little incredulous after hearing Guan Yu's words!You know, Hou Cheng in history stole Lu Bu's red rabbit horse and surrendered to Cao just because he was beaten fifty times by Lu Bu for drinking.Now that Hou Cheng was captured alive by Yuan Shao and hanged on the top of the wall, it can be said that his life was at stake, yet he still hasn't surrendered, it's hard to imagine!
"Shouldn't have surrendered!" Zhang Fei said: "He was beaten and bruised all over. If he had surrendered, he would not have been hung on the tower!"

Hearing that Hou Cheng did not surrender, I was really moved!If Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were captured alive, no matter if they died or were tortured, I would not be surprised at all, but Hou Cheng, who is so cunning that he can be said to be a villain, can have such backbone, I am really surprised for a while. Difficult to accept.But since Hou Cheng is worthy of me, I naturally want to be worthy of him.Glancing at the people in the big tent, I said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, you are now the chief general. Since General Hou is not dead and has not surrendered, then you send someone to meet Yuan Shao and find a way to get General Hou back!"

"Brother!" Lu Bu stopped after hearing my words, "The defeated general, why would you replace him?"

"Nonsense!" I scolded Lu Bu, "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs! You have also been defeated before! Now that General Hou is loyal and brave, I can't let the generals who are loyal to our army be sorry! It is imperative to return to General Hou. Nonsense!" Seeing that I had made up my mind, Lu Bu stopped talking, he didn't understand why I didn't take the opportunity to kill Hou Cheng when I clearly didn't like him.But Lu Bu didn't know that I had already changed my view of Hou Cheng, and I would not cause my troops to segregate for the sake of killing someone I don't like!
