Guo Jia's righteous words expressed Lu Bu's profound meaning. Cui Jun, Fa Yan and Tian Feng understood it. In the subsequent verdict, they deliberately downplayed the fundamental reason of this rebellion, downplayed the contradiction between the aristocratic families and the poor and common people, and pointed the fundamental reason of the rebellion to the crimes committed by Yang Biao, Liu Hong, Zheng Tai and other aristocratic ministers. They deliberately said that the reason why these aristocratic ministers brazenly launched a rebellion was because they were afraid that their previous scandals were discovered by Lu Bu, so they took the initiative to take action first.-./-./

After convicting Yang Biao and others, the death penalty was not immediately executed because Lu Bu wanted to use these people to eliminate more aristocratic families.

Chen Lin, Lu Cui and others imitated the handwriting of Yang Biao, Liu Hong, Zheng Tai and others, and sent letters to the heads of aristocratic families in various Bingzhou, which had agreed to raise an army together with Yang Biao and others, claiming that "the palace has been taken down and the empress dowager and the emperor, Lu Bu's army is about to arrive in Yecheng soon. I hope you can quickly come to Yecheng for support. If you defeat Lu Bu, you will definitely have high officials and great titles." These letters are stamped with seals of Yang Biao, Liu Hong, Zheng Tai and others, and then sent by servants from Yang Biao and other families who sincerely defect to the Central Army.

A few days later, the heads of aristocratic families in Jizhou and Bingzhou received letters from Yang Biao, Liu Hong, Zheng Tai, Bian Rang and others one after another. A small number of the heads of aristocratic families saw something strange. After sending the messenger away, they sneered and tore off the letter, but most of the heads of aristocratic families believed it true.

The first family of Shenjia in Yin'an County, Wei County, was the head of Shen's family. The head of Shen went to Runan to follow Yuan Shao, and his brother Shenfu was responsible for family affairs. When Shenfu received the letter that seemed to have been written by Zheng Tai, he was overjoyed. He quickly summoned all the children of Shen's family to prepare to send troops to Yecheng.

Shenfu first looked bitter and revenge: "When Lu Bu ambushed Heishan and dug up Huangze Lake and flooded our Shen family's 5,000 acres of fertile land. He also humiliated our Shen family's head at the emperor's banquet. Lu Bu, a narrow-minded poor family traitor, was in power. He used his power to suppress our Shen family's business in Jizhou, and made our business plummet! This letter from Zheng Gong gives us Shen family a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we can completely erase the great humiliation of being bullied by the poor family traitor Lu Bu!"

All the children of the Shen family screamed: "Send troops to Yecheng and eradicate Lu Bu!"

Seeing that the children of the clan were mobilized by themselves to share the same hatred of the enemy, Shenfu was very excited and laughed happily, "This is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our Shen family to stand out. If we can defeat Lu Bu with Yang Biao, Liu Hong, Zheng Tai and other Dukes, and support the emperor to reorganize the court, our Shen family will definitely get some official titles in the court. Haha, then our Shen family will no longer be just the first family in Yin'an, we will be the first family in Wei County and the first family in Jizhou! As long as we seize this opportunity, why should we bow to the Yuan family in Runan?"

The children of Shen’s family were all overjoyed. Shen Rong, the son of Shen Fu, smiled and suggested: "Father, according to the child's opinion, after our Jizhou family coalition defeated Lu Bu, the Lu Bu party was empty in the court and left many officials. There will be many aristocratic families in Jizhou. The amount of division depends on the strength of each aristocratic family. If our Shen family wants to gain greater power in the future court, we must bring more troops this time."

Shenfu laughed and said, "What Rong'er said is very true. The more people we bring, the more we can speak loudly in the new court!"

Originally, there were only more than 4,000 regular soldiers from Shen’s family. In order to have a greater say in the new court they imagined, Shenfu gathered five thousand people from the tenant farmers and slaves. Shenfu led 8,000 troops to Yecheng, leaving only one thousand new soldiers to defend Shenjiawu Fort.

Shen Jiao, Shen Rong couldn't wait to arrive in Yecheng earlier, so as to get the high-ranking officials and titles from the court earlier, but the 4,000 new recruits he had recently gathered were mostly tenants who had just put down their hoes. They had not received decent training at all and could not get fast. Yin'an was more than 130 miles away from Yecheng. They had not seen the shadow of Yecheng after walking for three days.

The messenger sent by Zheng Tai appeared again and sent Zheng Tai's oral orders to urge them to advance. The messenger said seriously that four or five aristocratic families had already arrived in Yecheng. If you Shen's family could not reach Yecheng immediately, you would not have to consider the position of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers.

Shen Rong, thinking that the high-ranking official and generous title were about to float away, he couldn't help but feel anxious. After the messenger left, they frantically urged the eight thousand soldiers to advance to Yecheng.

A thin, malnourished tenant farmer left, panting and trying to sit down and rest. As soon as she sat down, Shen Rong waved his saber and cut off the tenant farmer's head. Shen Rong stared at his blood-red eyes and shouted viciously: "Go away quickly, whoever dares to be lazy will end up like him!"

The children of the Shen family rode high-headed horses and urged the soldiers below to follow their steps towards Yecheng without any burden. If they ran a little slower, the knife and whip would fly down. The eight thousand soldiers of the Shen family ran forward with resentment and ran forward exhaustedly, running from morning to night until they could see the towering walls of Yecheng from afar through the night.

Shen Rong saw that the eight thousand soldiers were so tired that they were just sticking out their tongues and gasping like dogs. They were sweating profusely in March, and they were also tired and hungry. Yecheng City was four feet high and could be seen from afar. It would take at least two hours to walk. At this time, the night was already low and the spring breeze blew on the sweaty body. Shen Rong chose a ditch bottom that was clamped up by the slopes on both sides, set a torch, buried a pot to make rice, and sheltered the wind.

Before the eight thousand soldiers were close to the ground, Shen Fu suddenly felt a palpitation, and a biting murderous aura spread. He quickly looked on the slope on the left and saw a large group of central cavalry with black armor and red robes turned out from behind the dark and quiet forest.

The general was the leader, with sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes, and looked extremely handsome. He rode a horse like a fire dragon. He wore a golden crown on his head, a golden chain armor, a red robe with flowers on his back, nine feet tall, a tiger-backed wolf waist, long arms and big hands, and a huge black halberd in his hand, with a handle of one meter long, as thick as a human arm. The sharp halberd head is more than two feet long. There are crescent-shaped branches on both sides of the halberd. This long halberd exudes a strange bloodthirsty aura.

Seeing that the general was Lu Bu whom he hated, Shen Fu looked back at his group of family soldiers who were so tired that they almost couldn't stand up. He couldn't have the courage to face the challenge in his heart, and shouted in a scream: "No! I was ambushed by Lu Bu dog thief! Retreat, retreat quickly!" As he said that, he drove his horse back and fled.

As soon as they ran a few steps, Shenfu discovered in despair that a large group of black-armored cavalry rushed out of their way, with the leader of a general, with a leopard head and a round eyes, a swallow-jawed tiger whisker, and a snow-treaded black horse, holding a 50-pound hammer in his hand, shouting: "Wu'anguo is here, Shenfu's dog thieves don't leave!"

The servant had to turn the horse's head ninety degrees and rushed to the opposite direction of Lu Bu, but he saw a large group of black-armored cavalry rushing out, with the leader, two feet tall, twelve-foot-large waist, broom eyebrows, face like heavy dates, lips like sausage, holding a big axe in Xuanhua, shouting in a muffled voice: "President Wushuang Pan Feng is here, don't leave!"

Shenfu had to turn his horse's head and rushed towards Yecheng. He didn't doubt that there was any problem with Zheng Tai's letter. He thought that Lu Bu was attacking the city at the south gate of Yecheng. Somehow he found that they reinforced Yecheng from the east, so he dispatched troops from the south gate to ambush them outside the east gate. Shenfu thought that as long as he escaped into Yecheng, he would be safe.

Lu Bu raised the Fang Tian Hua Ji and shouted loudly: "Kill!"

Two thousand Xuan Armored Cavalry followed Lu Bu and rushed from the high slope like a black torrent, rushing towards the Shenjia family soldiers.

A child of the Shen family, not only stupid, but also a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. He rode his horse to meet Lu Bu: "Shen Gui is here, Lu Bu is here to accept his orders!" The second generation of the Shen family is very particular about the name. Starting from Shen Rong, he is prosperous and wealthy. Shen Gui ranks fourth in the clan, but his martial arts are the highest in Shen family. He thinks he has the courage of thousands of men, and thinks that Lu Bu has gained a false reputation.

Shen Gui waved a blue dragon serpent in his hand, and charged with the horsepower, the blue dragon serpent straight into Lu Bu's heart.

The Qinglong Salute and Fangtian Huaji look similar. The biggest difference is that the Qinglong Salute only has a crescent moon on one side, while the Fangtian Huaji has a crescent moon on both sides, which is tic-tac-tac-shaped and square, so it is called the Fangtian Shenji. It is a pity that some movies and TV series and some games always use the Qinglong Salute with a single crescent moon as Lu Bu's weapon, which is really a big mistake!

Lu Bu did not avoid it, and Fang Tian raised his halberd with a loud clang, knocking the green dragon halberd in Shen Gui's hand.

Shen Gui's tiger's mouth shattered, blood oozed into his palm, and the green dragon halberd almost flew away. Only then did he understand what the famous Wuxu Sage means, and hurriedly took the horse to escape aside.

Lu Bu rode his horse and chased him tightly, shouting loudly: "Don't go, look at the halberd!" Lu Bu hated the most of the garbage generals like Shen Gui who had no self-knowledge and insisted on using halberds to damage their reputation. If they formed the halberd soldiers like Zhang He and formed the tiger halberd cavalry like Dian Wei, Lu Bu would still value them a little.

Seeing Lu Bu's red rabbit horse running like red lightning, Fang Tian's painting halberd stabbed his back like the black hand of the god of death. In order to save his life, he had to use a move to win in defeat. Shen Gui suddenly leaned back, and the green dragon halberd stabbed from him, like a green poisonous snake dormant in the grass. His hideous poisonous fangs had already arrived and stabbed Lu Bu's heart.

Lu Bu sneered, gently took the Red Rabbit Horse, and then he sided his body slightly, and avoided the fatal blow that Shen Gui thought was right when he was unable to do so. Without waiting for Shen Gui to sit firmly, the Fang Tian Hua Ji in Lu Bu's palm was already like a black lightning, slashing towards Shen Gui. Shen Gui had no choice but to avoid it. It was split from the neck to the waist by Fang Tian Hua Ji, and the war horse was also split in half. The broken corpse fell to the ground.

Lu Bu shouted coldly: "You are worthy of using the halberd?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
