The cavalry led by Huang Zhong came to the vicinity of Jizhou City in just over an hour. Looking at the outline of the city in the distance, Huang Zhong ordered the troops beside him to slow down.

Although the three military Simas who followed the army had higher official positions than Huang Zhong, since Huang Zhong was the vanguard named Han Zhan himself, they had to obey Huang Zhong's orders. A Sima, a military Sima, came to Huang Zhong's side and asked him respectfully: "Huang Junhou, now it is not far from Jizhou City. Should we open the city gate overnight, or wait for dawn to enter the city?"

Huang Zhong turned his head and looked at Pu Tao, and replied, "The Marquis ordered us to open the city gate, so how could we wait until dawn!" He bowed to the other party and continued, "I don't have a Jizhou accent, so I may let the defenders on the city hear the flaws. I will ask Pu Sima to open the city gate later."

Seeing that Huang Zhong was so polite to him, Pu Tao said unambiguously: "Please rest assured by Huang Junhou, I will definitely earn the money myself."

When the cavalry came to the city, Huang Zhong looked at the city wall that was as high as five meters high and the moat that was two meters wide, and thought to himself: "If Pu Sima had discovered such a strong city by the defenders when he was making money, he would not be able to break through it by his own three thousand cavalry."

Huang Zhong was thinking when he suddenly heard someone in the city asking loudly: "Where are you soldiers?"

Pu Tao quickly rode his horse to the forefront of the team, stood by the moat, looked up at the city wall and said loudly: "We are General Zhang Junyi's subordinates, so we are ordered to come to rescue Jizhou?"

"Nonsense!" A loud voice suddenly came from the city: "My lord clearly ordered Zhang He to attack Guangping City. When will you come to rescue Jizhou?"

Pu Tao couldn't help but feel panic. He never dreamed that someone in the city knew about the order given by Yuan Shao. Fortunately, he was smart enough. After a brief panic, he asked loudly at the city: "I wonder which general is in the city?"

The loud voice soon came from the city: "I am Chunyu Qiong, the general under the lord!"

"It turned out to be General Zhong Jian," Pu Tao's heartbeat finally returned to normal after hearing the people on the city show their identity. "I am Pu Tao, a military Sima under General Ye Yi. Last time the general accompanied the lord to Guantao to inspect, I also met the general."

Since Chunyu Qiong was exchanged by Yuan Shao for Geng Wu and Minchun, he has been unpopular, so that Yuan Shao did not bring him along this time when he sent troops to Jieqiao, but just asked him to stay and help Tian Feng defend the city. Just now, he saw a cavalry coming towards the city, and was afraid that Han Zhan would be the troops sent to attack the city, so he ordered the officers and soldiers under the city to prepare. At this moment, he heard the person below telling his own names, and it was actually a military Sima he knew, so his vigilance naturally lowered: "So Sima Pu, I wonder what you are doing in Jizhou?"

"Return to General Zhongjian," Pu Tao at the city said respectfully: "Yesterday, the lord sent someone to send a letter to my general, saying that the troops in Jizhou were empty and ordered him to send troops to reinforce. The youngest came to Jizhou according to the order of my general."

After hearing what Pu Tao said, Chunyu Qiong's question went a little. Although he was neglected by Yuan Shao now and many confidential matters were not known, he still knew about Yuan Shao's sending someone to send letters to Zhang He for two consecutive days, so he believed Pu Tao's words to be true. However, for the sake of safety, he still lay down at the chassis and said to the bottom: "Pu Sima, it's too late. You can rest outside the city for a night first, and wait until tomorrow to enter the city."

Pu Tao planned to keep Chunyu Qiong out of the door and quickly cried out: "General Zhongjian, after receiving the letter from my lord, my general immediately ordered us to arrive in Jizhou as soon as possible. The brothers have been walking on the road for a day and a night, and now they are already in a shortage of people. I beg General Zhongjian to take a walk and let us go to the city to rest."

If Chunyu Qiong was a meticulous person, he might have sent someone to find Tian Feng and learn from him what the two letters Yuan Shao sent to Zhang He said. Seeing Pu Tao begging hard, he thought that there were only 800 county soldiers in the city. If there were more than a few thousand cavalry, even if there were enemies, it would be enough to resist.

Thinking of this, Chunyu Qiongchong's soldiers standing beside him shouted: "Put down the suspension bridge, open the city gate, and put the cavalry outside into the city."

The suspension bridge was lowered. As soon as the city gate opened, Pu Tao, who was standing in front of the team, calmed down the smile on his face, raised the weapon in his hand, shouted: "Kill!" and rushed over the suspension bridge, stabbed the soldiers beside the door, and took the lead in rushing into the door hole.

Seeing the cavalry roaring into the city, Chunyu Qiong even a fool knew that he had been fooled. He shouted and rushed down the city tower with his weapons with his weapons. The two cavalrymen saw Chunyu Qiong coming down the city tower and knew that he was a high-ranking official. They hurriedly urged the horse to come over and try to take him down so as to make a great contribution.

Seeing the two cavalry rushing over, Chunyu Qiong shouted OK, stood there without dodging, and stabbed at the cavalry rushing in front, picking him off the horse. But the huge inertia made him retreat several steps in a row, and by chance he avoided the sabre cut by another cavalry. He turned around on the spot, used a return rifle, and stabbed the cavalry from the horse.

Chunyu Qiong did not check the two cavalrymen who had fallen off the horse, but turned over the horse, held guns in both hands and rushed towards the cavalry that was rushing into the city. Unexpectedly, a powerful Yuan army general would appear in the diagonal sting. In a moment, four or five cavalrymen were picked up by him and randomly caught by the horses behind him.

"Don't be crazy, I'll kill you!" Just as Chunyu Qiong was wielding his spear and stinging in the cavalry line, a roar suddenly came from beside him, and a man who looked like a military marquis rushed towards him with the big knife in his hand.

Chunyu Qiong saw that the other party was just a military marquis and guessed that the other party's martial arts were limited, so he didn't take him seriously at all. Seeing the big knife in the other party's hand slashing at him, he just raised his gun and was about to block the opponent's weapons and stab him to death with another shot.

Unexpectedly, after the harsh sound of gold and iron, Chunyu Qiong realized that he had underestimated the enemy. The opponent's sword almost broke his tiger's mouth. Seeing that the sword did not work, the man quickly used another second move. This time, Chunyu Qiong did not dare to underestimate the enemy, so he quickly raised the gun and tried his best to take the opponent's sword.

He thought that even if he could not defeat the opponent, he could at least maintain an invincible state. Unexpectedly, after only five or six rounds, he realized that he had been wrong again. This man's martial arts was not inferior to Zhao Yun. He wanted to run away, but seeing that the enemy's cavalry were surrounded, he could only grit his teeth and continue to fight with the military marquis.

Huang Zhong slashed more than ten consecutive knives, slamming Chunyu Qiong into a hurry. He seized a gap, slapped the other party off the back of the knife, and then ordered his men: "Come on, tie him up!"
