There were only six miles away from Julu, but we could still encounter an ambush. There was an ambush six miles away from Julu. What would happen to Julu City? Huangfu Song immediately had a bad premonition and led his troops in a hurry towards Julu.

By the time Huangfu Song led the cavalry and rushed towards Julu City, it was almost evening when they arrived outside Julu City.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the city gates of Julu City were already closed. Huangfu Song went to the bottom of the city and shouted to the city guards to open the gates.

On the top of the city, the defenders glanced down and hurried down to the city.

Just when Huangfusong was anxiously waiting for the opening of the city, a moment later, there was a commotion of flags at the top of the city, and a general was mounted on the top of the city.

He is the general of the Zhuozhou Army, and so is Guan Yu!

When Huangfusong saw Guan Yu appear, his expression suddenly changed.

On the city, Guan Yu was condescending and said proudly to the city, "This city has been captured by the Zhuozhou army! The old general has left, and it is inconvenient for our army to stay overnight!"

Huangfu Song's face was extremely pale.

Despite all the calculations, I failed to predict that Julu City would be taken over by thieves first.

Huangfu Song was so angry that he drew his sword and pointed it at the city wall, shouting, "You occupy the imperial city and will rebel!"

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked slightly cold.

At this time, a small figure climbed up on the city wall. Li Mengxi climbed up to the city wall and stood between the two battlements. He held the battlements with his hands and looked down at Huangfu Song who was unable to enter like a bereaved dog.

Everyone, Li Mengxi was very happy.

"Hahahaha!" Li Mengxi laughed wildly, "Old general, you are fine!" Li Mengxi said with a strange air.

As soon as the words changed, Li Mengxi said in a stern voice, "Hmph! How could our army seize the city? It was obvious that thieves had taken over the city, and our army had clearly accomplished meritorious deeds in regaining the city, so how could they rebel?"

The old general wants to turn good men into thieves? Huh?!"

Li Mengxi's rebuttal made Huangfu Song speechless.

In fact, the moment Li Mengxi climbed up the battlement, Huangfu Song saw Li Mengxi and no longer wanted to argue with him.

Huangfu Song had had many confrontations with Li Mengxi, and Huangfu Song knew that this man was very sharp-tongued, so it would be unwise to argue with him.

At this point, Julu City has fallen into the hands of the Zhuozhou Army. The Zhuozhou Army has occupied the city and has established an invincible position. When their troops arrive, they will defend the city and nothing can be done.

Huangfu Song felt powerless in his heart, so he cheered up and asked again, "Are the guards in my city okay?"

Li Mengxi immediately replied, "They are all in custody and have not been massacred."

At this point, Huangfusong was silent for a moment.

Huangfu Song was worried about the guards who stayed in the city. Now that he heard that the guards had only been arrested and not in trouble, Huangfu Song was half relieved.

When Huangfu Song was thinking about how to ask for the guards without losing face, at the top of the city, Li Mengxi shouted down again, "The general's subordinates are detained in my camp. They have a lot of rice and grain every day. Our army has enough food and grass."

If you don't, please ask the general to take them away together."

Huangfusong looked up at Li Mengxi at the top of the city with some surprise. It was unexpected that this man didn't take the opportunity to ask for a price.

At the same time, Huangfusong was a little unhappy.

Why do you have to waste so much money and food every day? I dare you to say that raising my soldiers is like raising pigs. It only consumes food and is of no use. How can this be unreasonable!

Li Mengxi had long wanted to find a way to send away the prisoners of war. This was to give Huangfu Song a way out.

Li Mengxi called a centurion and ordered him to fetch the prisoners and send them back to Huangfu Song.

After a while, the centurion pressed the prisoners to the back of the city gate.

When Li Mengxi saw that the prisoners had been brought, he first sent soldiers down to the city to be on guard, and then he opened the city gate and ordered the prisoners to be escorted out.

This was out of caution, fearing that the officers and soldiers would take advantage of the moment when the city gate opened to hand over the prisoners and kill them, so they were specially prepared to take precautions.

After that, Zhuozhou soldiers escorted the government prisoners out of the city just like they escorted criminals.

When Huangfusong saw the prisoners, he became angry again.

The captured officers and soldiers were tied together with ropes like sheep, with their hands behind their backs, just like slaves being taken to the execution ground. If this was the case, Huangfu Song would not be very angry. What is unbearable is that,

The Zhuozhou army covered the heads of these prisoners with cloth. Because they lost their sight, the prisoners stumbled and looked embarrassed.

Holding back his anger, Huangfu Song waited coldly until the Zhuozhou army sent all the prisoners out of the city, and after the city gate shut with a creak, Huangfu Song personally got off his horse, took out the sword from his waist, and went to untie the prisoners.

After rescuing several people, Huangfu Song took off the linen wrapped around the head of a prisoner. When the prisoner saw that it was Huangfu Song, he was stunned for a moment, then he knelt on the ground with a plop, touched his head to the ground and cried bitterly.

"The last general deserves to die. He lost the city and failed the general's entrustment! The last general deserves to die!"

Huangfu Song sighed and quickly helped the deputy general up.

Huangfusong's family knew about his own affairs. He led an army of 30,000, but was ambushed repeatedly by the Zhuozhou Army. He almost lost his troops and humiliated his life several times. Most of the officers and soldiers were in such a mess, with only a few hundred wounded, old and weak defending the city, and the city was lost.

Excusable.

After all the prisoners were untied, Huangfu Song felt sad as he looked at these unarmored, unarmed soldiers wearing only single clothes.

In line with the instinct of a general, Huangfu Song called the generals guarding the city from the prisoners and asked in a low voice, "How did the Zhuozhou army capture the city?"

It was okay if I didn't ask, but when I asked, the general guarding the city was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to die, "They attacked the city at night, and we were unprepared, and we were taken advantage of..."

Huangfu Song was confused and asked quickly, "But the city gate was forgotten?"

The lieutenant general shook his head and affirmed, "The city gate will be closed before it gets dark."

Huangfu Song stared at the lieutenant for a long time, thinking that this lieutenant was cautious and honest, and would never be careless and forget to close the city gate, let alone deliberately lie.

Huangfu Song couldn't help but frowned, "Since the city gate is closed, how did his Zhuozhou army steal my city?" Huangfu Song was even more confused.

The deputy general said with an ugly face, "Suddenly, without any sound, the enemy troops came to the government office. The enemy came well prepared. Before the general closed the door and defended it, he jumped over the wall and entered. Unprepared, our army was caught by them.

It collapsed in a rush, unable to resist..."

Huangfu Song's frown deepened upon hearing this. After a long silence, Huangfu Song stared at the deputy general and asked, "When the fighting started on the city wall, you didn't hear it? How come you didn't take action until the enemy was approaching?"

"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Huangfu Song’s words are already filled with accusations.

The deputy general lowered his head, too embarrassed to look at Huangfu Song, and said in a low voice, "The general has never heard the fighting on the city wall. When he heard the sound of fighting, the general led his troops out and he was already at the gate.

outside……"

The deputy general clearly meant that it was not that the general was incompetent, that the general was not vigilant enough, or that the general's arrangements were improper. In fact, the matter was extremely strange. Xilihutu was invaded by others without making a sound.

They surrounded the city lord's palace, and Xilihutu was defeated without even knowing how.

Hearing the deputy general say that he didn't even know how the city was lost, Huangfusong recalled that he had repeatedly fought with the Zhuozhou Army in the past few days, and was surrounded by people without making a sound. He sighed, deputy general Huangfusong was in danger, "The Zhuozhou Army is in trouble.

It's not your fault that you are called a powerful enemy."

At the end, Huangfu Song glanced towards the top of the city and finally asked the deputy general, "How many enemy troops are there in the city?"

The deputy general opened his mouth again and again. For a long time, he said, "I don't know."

There was a fight with the enemy, and I didn't even know the number of the enemy.

It's embarrassing enough.

However, when Huangfu Song thought about confronting the Zhuozhou Army, he didn't know their strength at the beginning.

He didn't even know what was going on in the city, and Huangfu Song had no intention of attacking or seizing the city.

This is why Li Mengxi deliberately covered the prisoners' heads when escorting them out of the city.

This is experience. When envoys from the government and army came before, the envoys looked at them furtively. Li Mengxi thought at that time, although the envoys looked at them, they couldn't cover their eyes to prevent them from seeing. They were envoys.

They couldn't beat people up, but they couldn't let them look around. Finally, Li Mengxi and Liu Bei came up with a good way to use silk curtains as a courtesy for receiving envoys.

Not to be seen.

Based on his previous experience, when Li Mengxi sent the prisoners away, he considered that in case the prisoners saw the truth, in case Huangfu Song was informed that the Zhuozhou Army in the city was less than 1,000 men, in case Huangfu Song saw that the troops in the city were sparse and ordered a storm to capture the city,

On the contrary, it is not good.

When dealing with envoys, you cannot put sacks on their heads, but when it comes to prisoners, you are not so particular.

As soon as the linen cloth was placed over the captive's head, Huangfu Song had no idea what was going on in the city.

The prisoners had been rescued and their horses were turned around. Huangfu Song led the troops and was about to leave for a moment. Finally, he turned back and glanced at the city head. Huangfu Song's eyes were full of dissatisfaction. "Let's go!" Huangfu Song shouted. After that, he led his troops away from the city and headed east.

Already.

At the top of the city, Li Mengxi stood solemnly on the top of the city. He looked down at Huangfu Song and his companions as they walked away until they disappeared on the horizon.

The sky was completely dark at this time. Li Mengxi looked up at the sky and yawned.

It was over, Huangfusong finally rolled over and became stable, and deep fatigue swept over him.

——

On November 30, the first year of Emperor Zhongping of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court mobilized 30,000 troops from the north and south to fight against thieves. After several days of anxious confrontation with the Zhuozhou Army, Julu City finally changed hands, and the Zhuozhou Army captured Julu City.

, advanced and retreated calmly, the official army lost Julu, lost the foundation to compete with the Zhuozhou Army in the short term, and was forced to retreat far away.

After several days of hard planning, the Zhuozhou Army failed to engage in a battle with the officers and soldiers, and did not engage in a major battle with the government and the imperial court, which resulted in an uncontrollable situation. In just a few days, the Zhuozhou Army forced the officers and soldiers to retreat and got rid of their entanglement.

Finally achieved full success.

On the night when the army retreated, Zhuozhou Army's military advisor Li Mengxi, who was the mastermind behind all these plans, went down to the city and told Guan Yu to guard the city carefully. He rubbed his eyes, yawned repeatedly, and went to the city lord's palace. When he returned to the city lord's palace, he found
