"What? Doesn't Xuande welcome me, haha."

Liu He's voice came over, and he took Cheng Liang, Zhao Yun and Deng Yuan into the mansion.

"How dare you? The general is here to welcome you. Oh, General Cheng, Zhao and Deng are here too?"

Cheng Liang, Zhao Yun and Deng Yuan greeted Liu Bei and Zhang Fei one after another. They had a very good impression of the three brothers of Liu Bei. Although they didn't understand why Liu He left the army and hurried to Shangdang County early this morning, since they saw it, it was always right to greet him with a smile.

Liu He stepped forward and grabbed Liu Bei's hand: "I am destroying the Zuoxian King of the Huns, and returning triumphantly, thinking about coming to see Duke Xuande. You are still my royal brother, and you and I have never really had a good time, so I came here to get drunk with you. It would be not too late to return to Luoyang tomorrow."

After saying that, he was about to pull Liu Bei back to his house.

"Oh, General, I'm afraid the drinking matter can only be postponed. This morning, Yuan Shao, Jizhou, suddenly sent troops to attack Huguan, bringing 15,000 troops. In Huguan, only my second brother led 5,000 soldiers to guard him. He was afraid of any mistakes and was about to lead his army to help. Shangdang County was entrusted to the minister by His Majesty and the General. How could Yuan Shao let it be taken away?"

When he heard his words, Cheng Liang, Zhao Yun and Deng Yuan were also anxious.

"What? Yuan Shao actually dared to attack Bingzhou. Is he tired of living? Let's go, I'll go."

But Liu He still held Liu Bei's hand and didn't seem to care about the attack on Jizhou.

"Huguan is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Jiang Wude is brave and resourceful enough to defend this pass, so there is no need to worry. I came here this time, except for a hundred gods and tigers, and I have never brought any other troops. I just want to travel lightly and simply, and come to talk to Xuande as soon as possible. Don't worry, don't worry, drink first, and talk about it."

Zhang Fei, who was beside him, started yelling.

"I, Lao Zhang, always thought that I could drink the best and make trouble, but I didn't expect that the general was such a greedy person. It turns out that the person who was fighting was not your second brother. You are not in a hurry. I, Lao Zhang, can't wait, I have to leave first."

"Okay, okay, since Yide has said that, I will stop drinking this wine. In this way, I will say a few words to the emperor. After that, you will immediately go to Huguan for rescue."

Liu He's words and attitude made Liu Bei feel a little upset, but when he thought about his plan, he seemed to have calmed down a little.

When Zhang Fei heard Liu He's words, he stopped yelling.

"Then... you have to be faster than that general. I, Old Zhang, have a very anxious temper and can't wait for too long."

"Yingde cannot be arbitrary." Liu Bei scolded with a stern face.

"Hey, it's okay. General Yide is straightforward and has a sincere heart. The sun and the moon can be seen. How can he blame him? Let's go, Duke Xuande, you and I will go into the inner hall to speak."

He took Liu Bei's hand and walked into the house, leaving Cheng Liang, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Deng Yuan behind, looking at each other for no reason.

After a long time, Zhang Fei was so anxious that he was about to rush in, and the two of them came out.

No one knew what they were talking about, but they looked a little solemn and serious, so no one dared to ask.

Liu He shouted to Cheng Liang and others: "Let's go back to Luoyang."

The group did not look back and left the prefect's mansion and headed straight out of the city.

Zhang Fei looked at the backs of Liu He and others, and then looked at Liu Bei.

"Brother, you guys..."

Liu Bei's face was a little inexplicable, his eyes were deep, and he could not tell whether he was happy or sad.

"Don't ask, third brother, it's important to go to Huguan to help the second brother first, let's go."

"I understand."

The two led a large army and rushed out of Changzi City and headed straight towards Huguan.

Liu Bei looked back at Changzicheng, sighed softly, and murmured to himself.

"Shangdang, Shangdang, it seems that it is not the place I, Liu Bei, should stay..."

The sun sets down the mountain and night falls.

Outside Lucheng City, there was already a river of blood flowing, and corpses were everywhere.

It has been more than three hours since Gao Lan launched the siege. After paying the price of nearly 3,000 people, the city of Lucheng is finally about to be captured.

There are only half of the three thousand defenders in the city now, and it is almost impossible to take into account the city gates everywhere.

Gao Lan exhaled a long breath.

"I didn't expect that a small Lu City would take so much time and cost to capture. The army under Liu He's command is so strong and has a strong fighting spirit, which is far more powerful than the rumors. It really makes me admire him."

The deputy general smiled and said, "So what? We are going to be captured by us? However, the reinforcements from the other three cities did not come, which is a bit strange. I don't know what the three armies sent by our army are now. It is obviously impossible for the defenders in the city to attack with the only few troops sent out."

Gao Lan was a little unwilling: "Hi, it is reasonable that those city guards may not come to provide assistance because they lacked enough troops. I had expected this, so I explained when I sent out three troops that if there were defenders in the city, camping in a hidden place and waiting for me to capture Lucheng. These three cities will sooner or later fall into my hands and cannot escape."

"General Gao is wise, and he will never be able to do it."

The deputy general quickly started flattering.

"Catch it, we've captured the city gate!"

A burst of excitement came, and Gao Lan was overjoyed when he heard this and hurried over.

A soldier came over excitedly to report: "General, the city gate has been broken, and the first batch of soldiers have finally climbed the city tower, and Lucheng has been captured by us!"

Gao Lan was about to be happy when two more commanders came.

"The South Gate has also been captured..."

"Simon is the same..."

"Okay!" Gao Lan was overjoyed.

"As long as you capture Lucheng, you will take the first step to capture Yanmen County!"

At this time, a commotion suddenly occurred on the battlefield ahead, and a small group of people ran over in panic.

"What's going on?" Gao Lan asked hurriedly.

The team of soldiers fell to the ground, and one of them said cowardly: "General Gao, just now, the defenders in the city suddenly opened the city gate and tried to break through. They still had about 1,500 people. Our army's troops at the north gate are now less than 3,000. They were caught off guard by the enemy, so we...we..."

Gao Lan was furious and grabbed the soldier's collar and lifted him up.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Ahem... we couldn't stop the enemy. They have successfully broken through... They have broken through..."

"Report..."

Three more people hurried over.

"The three city towers in the east, south and west are already empty. There are only some scarecrows wearing armor and pretending to be in the night. The soldiers guarding the city have long disappeared..."

Gao Lan was so angry that he cut off a tree next to him with a sword.

"Damn it, it's a great shame to have half of the city guards run away like this."

The deputy general hurriedly comforted: "General, as long as he captures Lucheng, he will win. As for part of the enemy's escape, it is not worth worrying. Even if they escape to the nearby city, what can they do? With General Gao himself in charge, will they end sooner or later?"

Gao Lan's heart is hard to relieve his energy, but he also knows the priorities.

"Enter the city first and rest for a night. Tomorrow morning, two thousand soldiers will be left here to guard the wounded soldiers. The remaining troops will follow me to attack Fanqiu City first, and then divide the troops into two groups to take Juyang and Dongxian together."
