Wu Lideng said: "General Tian, ​​you are the one who defeated me. I am the number one warrior in Liaodong. Even among the entire Wuhuan people, there are not many people who can compete with me. Su Puyan ignored the long-term of the tribe, but only looked at the immediate interests. If this continues, our tribe may face a catastrophe. I heard that General Tian is the reincarnation of Ziwei Emperor Star, so I admire General Tian very much. People like Su Puyan are not worthy of letting me serve him. Only heroes like General Tian can be worthy of my loyalty."

Lin Nan patted Wu Lideng on the shoulder and smiled and said, "What a Wu Lideng. Since that's the case, then you should be by my side from now on. However, if Su Puyan wants to kill me, he may be a little bit tender. There will be a good show tonight, so you can wait here with me. It won't take long to come, Su Puyan's head will be sent."

Wu Lideng was stunned and asked in surprise: "Did General Tian already know?"

Lin Nan nodded and said with a smile: "If it were normal, maybe I wouldn't care too much, but it was because of this time that the troops in Changli City's ranks aroused my suspicion."

"General Tian, ​​I don't understand very much..."

Lin Nandao: "Now Qiu Liju rebels from the Han Dynasty, except for the vassal states in Liaodong, all the Wuhuan people have joined the rebels. Su Puyan was very afraid of Qiu Liju. The reason why the former wanted to become sworn brothers with me was to compete with Qiu Liju with my strength. However, when I entered the city today, the troops on the city tower were pitifully small, and there were few thrust cavalry in the military camp. Even those who attended the banquet today did not see a few thrust cavalry. Last time I came here, Youzhou was in chaos. With Su Puyan's fear of Qiu Liju, he would definitely strengthen his defense. How could such a slack defense not arouse people's suspicion?"

After listening to Lin Nan's analysis, Wu Lideng saw that Lin Nan was very awake at this time and said in surprise: "General Tian, ​​are you... not drunk?"

Lin Nan said: "Of course I'm not drunk. If I were drunk, my head would probably be out of stock. However, you surprised me. I never thought you would think about me. I thought you were here to kill me?"

Wu Lideng said: "To be honest, Su Puyan did order me to kill General Tian, ​​but... but I can't do it. If General Tian dies, then General Tian's subordinates will attack here. The people of my tribe finally lived a stable life. No matter what I said, I would not let General Tian fall into such a crisis. For this reason, I can only let General Tian go."

Lin Nan said: "You really see much further than Su Puyan. Since Su Puyan is unkind to me, don't blame me for being unrighteous to him. I have already made up my plan. At this time, Su Puyan's head should have fallen to the ground. Wu Lideng, since you have so much interest in your own tribe, after Su Puyan dies, you should be a vassal state of Liaodong, with your prestige in the cavalry. As long as you follow me wholeheartedly, I can guarantee to turn the tide. Let Qiu Liju taste the price he deserves."

Wu Lideng half-kneeled on the ground and said loudly: "General Tian, ​​I, Wu Lideng, are willing to serve General Tian. As long as General Tian can protect my tribe well, I am willing to lead all Wuhuan cavalry to follow General Tian and attack Qiu Liju with General Tian."

Before Lin Nan could answer, he saw that the door was pushed open. Xun You walked in from outside. He glanced at Xun You and asked, "How is it outside?"

Xun You said: "You are the lord, it's true that it's not as expected by the lord. Changli City does have a hidden murderous intent. The soldiers lying outside the mansion have been controlled by Zhang He. Hua Xiong and Pang De go to kill Su Puyan. I believe that it won't take long before Su Puyan's head will be brought back."

Lin Nan said to Wu Lideng: "Su Puyan takes it himself, and he can't blame others. From now on, you can follow me. I will appoint you as General Yingyang and protect your tribe from invasion, so that they can live a happy life safely."

Wu Liden thanked and said, "Thank you for General Tian's success. Su Puyan's army is outside the city, and several of them are Su Puyan's confidants. If these people are not solved, they may lead some troops to surrender to Qiu Liju. The subordinates want to go out of the city to solve these people for General Tian and control all the troops outside the city. Only in this way can General Tian be considered truly safe."

At this moment, Hua Xiong walked in with a head, threw the head to the ground, and said to Lin Nan with a proud look on his face: "Report to the lord, my subordinates have taken Su Puyan's head and come and report it."

"Okay, very good." Lin Nandao, "How is it going on with Pang De?"

"According to the lord's instructions, Pang De has already taken people to occupy the arsenal. At this time, it has almost occupied it." Hua Xiong replied.

Wu Lideng looked at Lin Nan in surprise, and felt an inexplicable sense of respect for Lin Nan, as if everything in Changli City was in his control.

Lin Nandao: "Wulideng, Su Puyan is a fool. In order to lead me into the city, he actually transferred all the troops out of the city, leaving only a few people to guard it. I basically control everything in the city, and you should go outside the city, after all, there are 20,000 cavalry outside the city."

Wu Lideng said "No", turned around and walked out the door.

Hua Xiong looked at Wu Lideng's back and disappeared into the night, and asked, "Lord, is this Wuhuan man really okay?"

Lin Nan said: "Don't worry, since I was defeated, Uliden has always respected me. I believe he is sincere, not to mention that he is determined to save his tribe from disaster. This is very important, but Su Puyan is determined to drag his tribe into the abyss. He can only seek another strong man, and I am the strong man in his heart."

Hua Xiong said: "But he is from Wuhuan. If we kill Su Puyan, won't the others come to take revenge? What should Su Puyan's family do? Lord, my subordinates think that just in case, it's better to kill all Su Puyan's family."

Xun You smiled and said, "Huaxiong, it seems that you don't know much about the Wuhuan people. The Wuhuan people are different from our Han people. They will not avenge their father and brother's revenge, and instead they will respect those who killed their father and brother. In their consciousness, those who killed their father and brother are strong."

Lin Nandao: "Gongda is right. Hua Xiong, you are now the Five Tiger Generals under my tent. You should use your brain more when doing things in the future. In this regard, Pang De will be better than you."

"That little ghost? The hair has not grown yet, how could it beat me? I am just worried about the safety of my lord!" Hua Xiong retorted.

Lin Nan smiled and said, "Pang De is indeed very young. But it is undeniable that he is ranked with you in the five tiger generals with his credit. Among the five tiger generals, Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Taishici, Pang De, I am not very worried. Instead, I worry about you the most. After the Changli matter is resolved, our army will be united with the Wuhuan cavalry. You must learn more about the habits of the Wuhuan people in one day tomorrow, and it will be of great help to deal with Qiu Liju. Do you know?"

Hua Xiong nodded and said, "I understand. Lord, Su Puyan's subordinate has sent him to him. I will go to support Pang De now."

"Go, be careful."

"promise!"

As soon as Hua Xiong finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving several people guarding the door. However, there were only Lin Nan and Xun You in the room.

Xun You's wise eyes emitted a little light and bowed, "Lord. After tonight, the Wuhuan people of the Liaodong vassal state will be under the jurisdiction of the lord. As long as it is used properly, the Wuhuan Tuqi team may become an important cornerstone for the lord to sweep the world in the future."

Lin Nan smiled and said, "Military advisor, if you hadn't observed carefully this time, I'm afraid that my head would be thrown to the ground."

Xun You said: "The lord has been awarded too much. These are all the lord's good tutoring. My subordinates just gave me a suggestion."

Lin Nandao: "Tomorrow, Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci's army should arrive. After a day off, you can go straight to Guanzi City the next day. The military advisor follows the army all the way. For you, you are not very good at riding skills, it is a crime. It is a bit disgusting to make the military advisor suffer."

"Master, these disappearances are nothing. As long as you can help the lord complete hegemony, even if your subordinate's life is, you can take it away at any time as long as the lord is willing."

Lin Nan was very pleased when he heard Xun You's words. He kept thinking that Jia Xu had indeed benefited a lot after going to Yingchuan to pick up Xun You's family. Because after reuniting with his family, Xun You became completely different, and he was more motivated than before.

The lights in the room were light and dark, and Lin Nan and Xun You were talking about some marching matters. Not long after, they saw Zhang He, Hua Xiong and Pang De coming to the room together.

"See the lord!"

"No gifts, everything has been done, right?"

Zhang He replied: "No! All the matters in the city have been completed according to the lord's instructions, but there are still 20,000 troops outside the city..."

Lin Nan said: "Don't worry, I have sent someone to deal with this. Good news will come when dawn, but you can't take it lightly. You all lead your troops to the city tower and be responsible for defending the city. If you find any abnormality, send someone to notify me immediately!"

The air was filled with the smell of blood, and the corpses of people and animals were piled up under the broken city walls, with broken weapons and arrows everywhere, covering the entire earth densely.

Outside the city, Wuhuan cavalry all over the mountains can be seen everywhere, and tens of thousands of people formed a line, surrounding the small Guanzi City.

In the city, there were endless groans of pain, and there were Han soldiers injured by arrows everywhere. Everyone had a sense of indifference in their eyes and their expressions were very numb.

On the city wall, Gongsun Zan was wearing heavy armor and a mature copper helmet on his head. He looked at the black people outside the city, wriggled his lips a few times, and said slowly: "Xuande, how many days have Tian Yu left?"

Liu Bei stood behind Gongsun Zan, also wearing armor. His pair of hot eyes looked around the corpse under the city. A bloody smell mixed with the stinking of corpse came with the wind, which made him feel a little disgusted. He suppressed the feeling of vomiting and bowed, "It's been ten days."

"Ten days? It's logical that I should have arrived in Liaodong long ago. Will Lin Nan really send troops to help?" Gongsun Zan asked uncertainly with a hint of suspicion.

Liu Bei said lightly: "Lin Nan is a smart man. He should know the relationship. If he sits on the verge of Youzhou being occupied by the Wuhuan people, then his Liaodong will definitely become the next target of the Wuhuan people's attack. Brother Bo Gui, now Liaodong is our only hope, and we can only place our hope on Lin Nan."

Gongsun Zan turned around and looked at the soldiers in the city. None of his troops were injured. He sighed heavily and patted Liu Bei on the shoulder. He slowly said: "Xuande, if I listened to you and were not in a hurry to pursue you, I would not have been hit by Qiu Liju's plan to lure the enemy. I would have to rescue him if I had to be rescued by outsiders."

"After this, I can only hold on to the city. As long as we don't leave the city, the Wuhuan people can do nothing. Although we have few soldiers, the food and grass in the city can still last for more than a hundred days. As long as we continue to waste like this, Qiu Liju has no choice. However, if we want to defeat Qiu Liju, we can only rely on Lin Nansu to send reinforcements." Liu Bei analyzed carefully.

Gongsun Zan nodded and asked, "How about the South Gate and the North Gate?"

"The south gate and the north gate are guarded by Yun Chang and Yide. I have already told them that they just need to stick to it and not fight. Please rest assured Brother Bo Gui."

"I have handed over the Ximen to Gongsun Yue and Yan Gang to guard it together. There are still more than 13,000 soldiers in the city. Although it is not a solution to stick to it, it is a forced matter. Now I can only place my hope on reinforcements from Liaodong."

Liu Bei said: "Brother Bo Gui, there is one thing that needs to be dealt with immediately. Otherwise, he may be greatly affected."

Gongsun Zan hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Liu Bei pointed to the corpse under the city and said loudly: "In the past few days, the Wuhuan people have been attacking day and night. The corpses left outside the city cannot be handled at all. Now the Wuhuan people's attacks are slightly weaker than the previous two days. We should take advantage of this time to clean up the corpse outside the city, otherwise, if a plague is triggered, it will be afflicted."

Gongsun Zan also asked the disgusting smell of corpses. He looked at the ground outside the city with corpses everywhere. Flies were buzzing above the corpses, and the full crows kept flapping their wings in the sky. Occasionally, a few wild wolves would pop up at night. The corpses outside the city had become a delicacy for animals.

Seeing that Gongsun Zan did not make a sound, Liu Bei hurriedly bowed: "Brother Bo Gui, if this continues, the consequences may be unimaginable. These corpses must be disposed of quickly."

Gongsun Zan said, "Of course I know, but look at the mountains of corpses outside the city. Not far away is the camp of the Wuhuan people. Where can we have any extra people to clean up these corpses?"

Liu Bei said loudly: "Burn with fire, and after nightfall, we send people out of the city to sprinkle the hot oil on the corpses, and then burn them with fire. This is the safest way. If we drag it on like this, once the plague is caused, we will all die before the Wuhuan people attack us."

Gongsun Zan said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you to deal with it. After nightfall, you will take people out of the city and dispose of these corpses."

Liu Bei did not refute and immediately replied: "Okay!"

At this moment, the horns of the Wuhuan people sounded, and a large number of cavalry quickly poured out from the hills outside the city. The sound of horse hooves like rolling thunder came over in a mess. There was a slight trembling trembling on the ground, and the shouting sound became more and more deafening.

"The whole army is on guard!" Gongsun Zan hurriedly picked up a large bow from the ground, put on an arrow, then pulled the big bow away, and shouted at the soldiers beside him.

"Shoot the arrow!"

With a command, arrows were like rain, and arrows covering the sky and sun met in the air, and soldiers from both sides continued to fall...

Half an hour later, several attacks by the Wuhuan people ended in failure again, and the new corpses left on the battlefield were left.

After nightfall, the four gates of Guanzi City opened one after another, and a group of black shadows sneaked out of the city gate under the leadership of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Yan Gang, and sprinkled on the mountain of corpses with the fierce turbulent oil that had been prepared long ago. When they finished, the archers who had prepared on the city tower shot out the fire arrows. The fierce turbulent oil burned instantly when they saw the sparks. Four fire dragons burned at the four gates at the same time, and finally formed a huge fire dragon, which swallowed all the corpses outside the city into the fire.

The raging fire shone on the night sky, illuminating the surrounding Guanzi City like daylight. The soldiers in the city stood on the top of the city, watching the fire burning everything, but their eyes were still cold, and some even showed despair. The Wuhuan people outside the city were also attracted by the fire. Seeing the thick black smoke rising into the air, everyone was firmly confident that they must conquer this city and avenge their tribesmen.

The fire burned all night and was slowly extinguished until it was clear. The bodies were burned out and the earth was shrouded in black.

When the fire was just extinguished, the horn of the Wuhuan people's attack sounded again, and the cavalry holding bows and arrows rushed up without hesitation and pressed over from all directions. A new round of attack began. However, this attack was different from the past. The Wuhuan people's cavalry followed some infantry behind, and the infantry carried brand new ladders on their shoulders. This was the result of their ten days of hard work, and it finally came in handy today.

The battle was about to begin. The Wuhuan people also began to imitate the Han army's attack, and set up a ladder beside the city wall, using archers as cover, and infantry all climbed the city wall with wooden shields and scimitars. For a moment, the frightened Han army fell into a hard battle, not only to deal with the threat brought by the Wuhuan cavalry and shooting troops, but also to deal with the possibility of being climbed onto the city wall by the Wuhuan people. But no one retreated, but bravely used the weapons in their hands to face the enemy.

A cruel battle began inside and outside the small Guanzi City...

...

"How far is Tian Yu?" Lin Nan, who was running at the front of the team, turned his head and shouted loudly to Tian Yu behind him.

Tian Yu hurriedly replied: "You are a general Lin, you are almost here, less than ten miles."

Lin Nan's horse was fast, but in order to keep pace with the army, he did not let the wulong horse show his true strength. He looked at the black cavalry behind him, with the heads and horse heads floating one after another. In addition to the 10,000 cavalry under his command, he also brought 20,000 Wuhuan cavalry from the vassal state of Liaodong. 30,000 cavalry were running forward majestic, and the cavalry all over the mountains showed an seemingly unstoppable trend.

Two days ago, in Changli, Lin Nan used the trick, killed Su Puyan, and conquered Wu Lideng, who was the most prestigious in the local area, and pushed Wu Lideng to the tribal leader of the Wuhuan people. For the sake of the interests and long-term development of his tribe, Wu Lideng decided to take 80,000 tribes to Lin Nan.

Lin Nan appointed Wu Lideng as General Yingyang. He abolished the title of Liaodong vassal state, established Changli County on the original basis, appointed Wu Lideng's younger brother Wu Liji as the prefect of Changli, and formally assigned the Wuhuan people of Liaodong vassal state to their own rule.

Looking back on what happened two days ago, Lin Nan is still a little excited. He never expected that this time he would get such great benefits. He even occupied the Liaodong vassal state without any effort, and also obtained 20,000 Wuhuan cavalry.

"The whole army stopped advancing!" Lin Nan suddenly stopped the horse and shouted loudly to the back.

After giving the order, 30,000 cavalry quickly stopped advancing, and the generals from all units came to Lin Nan.

Seeing that all the generals were surrounded, Lin Nan said loudly: "From now on, we will divide our troops and advance. The terrain around Guanzi City is full of hills. I believe that Qiu Liju has firmly surrounded Guanzi City. Zhao Yun, you will lead five thousand cavalry to attack the Wuhuan people from the north gate, Taishi Ci, you will lead five thousand cavalry to attack the Wuhuan people from the south gate, Zhang He, you will lead five thousand cavalry to attack the Wuhuan people from the west gate, and the rest will attack from the east gate with me."

"promise!"

Lin Nan continued: "The Wuhuan people have been besieging the city for more than ten days, and they are exhausted at this time. When we suddenly arrive, we will definitely be able to put the Wuhuan people in chaos, attack at all sides at the same time, and defeat Qiu Liju in one battle. But please remember that after defeating Qiu Liju, you are not allowed to pursue it. The strength of the Wuhuan cavalry cannot be ignored. This action is just to understand the siege of Guanzi City. Do you all know?"

"I'm clear!" the generals answered in unison.
To be continued...
