On July 26, the third year of Chuping, Lu Bu led his army to Changyuan County in the north of Chenliu County. This was the only county under Chenliu County that was not captured.

When Lu Bu arrived, he found that Changyuan County had completed military defense transformation, strengthened the walls and cleared the fields, and turned into a war fortress.

Very fast...

Do you know the consequences if you resist Lu Fengxian?

Before, the two counties surrendered voluntarily, but they were obtained by Lu Bu without defense. Lu Bu thought that under his military front, Changyuan County should have surrendered voluntarily, but unexpectedly, this county actually had to resist.

Lu Bu sent someone to Chinese language and asked the Changyuan County Magistrate to open the city to surrender, otherwise the whole family would not be left behind when the city was destroyed!

The response to him was an arrow, shooting the soldiers he sent to call to death.

Changyuan County expressed its position with practical actions.

Lu Bu was so angry that he immediately ordered the siege, and then ordered Zhang Liao to lead five thousand troops to go north in division to attack Yan County in Dongjun, and strive to make a big breakthrough in Dongjun.

He, Lu Fengxian, stayed to supervise the siege of the city, and insisted on conquering Changyuan County and then massacring the city.

However, Cao Ren, the garrison of Changyuan County, gave Lu Bu a wake-up call with his own advantages and determination. Lu Bu launched three consecutive charges, but was repelled before he even filled the trenches.

The city defense is sharp and does not look easy.

Lu Bu was very angry, so he accelerated the intensity and speed of the siege, driving a larger number of soldiers to rush towards the city wall with large shields, fill the trenches, and advance with difficulty in the rain of arrows, with heavy casualties.

Changyuan County's firm determination to resist surprised Lu Bu, but this did not shake his determination to capture the county town.

Can a mere county town stop the invincible Lu Fengxian?

cannot!

When Lu Bu's army was blocked south of Changyuan County and Yan County, Guo Peng had already led his troops to leave Lu County and headed south.

Before this, he ordered Xi Zhong to be the marching Sima, and together with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he led 10,000 troops to Dongjun to enter Dongjun on the grounds of preventing Yuan Shao.

Even Xi Zhong didn't know the real purpose.

Dongjun must not be abandoned, as this concerns the overall situation of the Northern Expedition to Yuan Shao in the future.

So there was the scene where Cao Cao received Guo Peng's messaging.

With soldiers in hand, the situation in Dongjun can be stabilized.

After that, Cao Cao's letter of help was sent, and Guo Peng made the matter public and quickly "very eager" to hold a military meeting to discuss the matter.

The next day, the messenger sent by Ying Shao, the prefect of Jiyin County, brought the letter of help.

On July 25, Lu Bu's general Gao Shun led his army to attack Yinju County. Yinju County was not in good condition and was taken down in one day. Gao Shun led his troops to plunder, the county magistrate was killed, and the county was killed and injured.

Later, Gao Shun led his army to attack Dingtao County, the county where Ying Shao was located. Ying Shao ordered to defend Dingtao County to death, but Dingtao County had few soldiers and horses, so he was afraid that he could not defend it, so he asked Guo Peng for help.

Ying Shao asked Guo Peng to send troops to rescue Jiyin County immediately, otherwise Jiyin County would be in danger.

Then the messenger asking for help from the Shanyang County Magistrate Bian Rang also came, saying that Shanyang County had few troops and might not be able to resist Gao Shun's advance, so he asked Guo Peng to lead his army to aid.

A strong desire to survive came to his face, and Guo Peng could feel their panic when he wrote a letter through the bamboo slips.

Guo Peng didn't expect that they would fight against the five scumbags like this.

Chen Gong was very angry.

"This traitor, Lu Bu, killed his master for the second time, and now he has no reason to attack our Yanzhou and slaughter the people of our province! Is it unbearable! Ming Gong, please send troops!"

Chen Gong strongly demanded that Guo Peng send troops to attack Lu Bu.

The Yanzhou-born practitioners around Guo Peng also agreed to send troops.

They could not bear to be trampled on their hometown by Lu Bu, a savage man from the frontier.

Guo Peng nodded.

"I will definitely send troops to send troops, and I will lead the army to attack Lu Bu personally. I want to let him know that I am very sorry that I was unable to kill him in Luoyang."

Subsequently, Guo Peng sent an order to Chen Ji, the prime minister of Dongping, asking Chen Ji to arrange the food route first, saying that a large army would go south, and asked Chen Ji to ensure the food route and supply along the way.

The army heading south was led by Guo Peng himself, with Yu Jin, Le Jin and Zhao Yun as the auxiliary, Guo Jia as the marching Sima, and Cao Chun and Cao Xiu were also led by Cao Chun and Cao Xiu, and ordered 20,000 troops. The preparation was completed on July 28 and officially set off on July 30.

On this day, Gao Shun conquered Dingtao County.

Ying Shao did lead the troops to fight, but he had few soldiers and his morale was low. He was no match for Gao Shun. He held on for several days and was still captured. Dingtao County was robbed and countless dead.

Gao Shun forced the powerful men to join the army, and then sent them to plunder and attack Juyang County, Chengyang County, Chengshi County, surrounding manors, forts, and counties.

For a time, Gao Shun's army was unstoppable, and these counties could not hold on. Those who were persistent were captured, looted, or simply opened the city to surrender, and it was difficult to protect themselves.

Ying Shao was brave and willing to fight and try to defend, but he was always defeated by Gao Shun. He could not organize an effective defense line and was broken through by Gao Shun. He was defeated repeatedly and had to retreat to Shanyang County.

On the fifth day of the eighth month, the defense of Jiyin County failed. Gao Shun expanded his army and led more than 16,000 people to break into Shanyang County and directly took Changyi County, the capital of Shanyang County.

Bian Rang and Ying Shao, who had retreated here, joined forces to defend, gathered thousands of troops to defend Changyi County. The major families in the city joined forces to send 10,000 strong men to transport supplies to the army, temporarily withstood Gao Shun's fierce attack.

Gao Shun changed his strategy and cleared all the military strongholds around Changyi County, surrounded three and one missing, leaving only the east wall, and sent large troops to attack the city on the other three sides.

Later, he used the wind direction to light thick smoke at the upper wind outlet, smoky guards in the city wall, and took the opportunity to send troops to attack the city, almost breaking through the city wall, which made the army in the city shake.

The first thing Bian Rang couldn't hold on was that he wanted to retreat to a safe place, but Ying Shao refused to do so, and he had to stick to it for another two days without letting Gao Shun succeed.

As a result, Bian Rang couldn't withstand Gao Shun's fierce attack. Seeing the city in danger, he actually opened the city gate and fled eastward.

Then he was intercepted by the cavalry who were ambushing Gao Shun in advance, and no one of them survived.

Bian Ren was caught by Gao Shun and cried and begged for mercy. It was useless. Gao Shun ordered him to be beheaded in front of the defenders on the city.

The morale of the army in the city was in chaos, and Ying Shao killed soldiers one after another and could not appease the soldiers. Gao Shun took the opportunity to attack the city, and Ying Shao tried his best to defend the city, but still failed.

After the city wall was lost, Ying Shao had to give up Changyi County. Under the desperate protection of his personal guards, he retreated to Jinxiang County. After seeing the weak city defense of Jinxiang County, he gave up guarding here and fled to Rencheng Kingdom.

At this point, the defenses of Jiyin County and Shanyang County failed one after another. Gao Shun led his army to advance rapidly, with unstoppable momentum and great power.

After that, Gao Shun gathered as many as 20,000 troops, but no one dared to fight wherever he went, so the locals surrendered.

Some people are lucky and are not plundered after surrender, but more people are not lucky enough. Even if they surrender, they are still plundered.

The fort was destroyed and the manor was robbed.

Money, food, arms, cloth, population.

These are all needed by Gao Shun.

Gao Shun successfully got everything he wanted.
Chapter completed!
