Chapter 662 Transfer
Dian Wei stepped forward to receive the order. Seeing this, Shi A stepped forward and said, "My lord, I am willing to go with General Dian and others. Please allow me to go to the front to atone for my sins."
Huangfu Chaobo waved his hand and said, "Go. By the way, there is a good general under the command of the Yiyang County Magistrate. You must be careful. If you can capture him, then go. If not, kill him if you can!"
"I will obey the order!" The two of them agreed in unison and turned to leave.
Three days later, Lu's family sent back the news. Because there was heavy snow in Sizhou, it took Shadow more than two days to reach Lu's family. Later, after inquiring about the news, it was found that it was indeed as Fengyun Tianxia said. Lu's family and Yiyang counties were transferring their own craftsmen and some valuable materials.
Because the two families also had a territory in Dong Zhuo's territory, and Dong Zhuo's army had good generals. In addition, the two had no dealings with Huangfu Chaobo, and when Lu Bu's army was in Hongnong, they also contributed a lot to the grain and grass. So when they saw that Huangfu Chaobo's position in Sizhou was becoming more and more stable, the two had different ideas.
After discussing, the two decided to make preparations for both situations. First, all the important craftsmen and part of the money were transferred to the territory of Dong Zhuo's army, so the two families began to transfer a month ago. In more than a month, the important craftsmen in the two counties were transferred to other places under various names, and their families and some elite soldiers in the county left with them.
Because of the heavy snow in the past few days, in order not to cause the disgust of the craftsmen and soldiers, the two families temporarily stopped the transfer work. In addition, after more than a month of transfer, the two have transferred nearly half of the important personnel and materials in the county to the territory of Dong Zhuo's army. The two families have transferred a total of five or six thousand people.
Less than a day after Huangfu Chaobo received the news from Lu's family, he received the news from Shi A that the army had arrived in Lu's family.
It turned out that after the two led the army to Hongnong, they decided to lead the army to set off first because of the heavy snow and Shi A personally led the Shadow Guard to follow. The two meant that if the news was true, they could quickly capture the two cities. If the news was wrong, they would treat it as a training for the two troops.
Three days later, when Shi A led the army to less than 20 miles north of Lushi, he finally received the news from the Shadow Guard and confirmed that Lushi was indeed transferring personnel and materials. Not only Lushi, but also Yiyang County has often sent things in the past month.
The army has arrived now, but because it is lightly equipped and fast, it does not carry siege equipment. After discussing with the generals, Dian Wei decided not to attack by force, but first captured a small town more than ten miles around Lushi. Then, he took more than ten carts in the town, disguised them as a business transporting firewood, and dozens of Iron Eagle Guards rushed to the city gate.
Fortunately, the defense of Lushi County was not tight, and Chen Jing's Iron Eagle Guards successfully occupied the city gate. When the flag of General Pingdong appeared outside the city, there was an uproar on the city wall.
This was also a clever move by Dian Wei and his men. When they went to war, they brought a flag of General Pingdong from Luoyang. Sure enough, when the flag appeared, the soldiers on the city wall were stunned. After all, whether it was from the mouths of strangers or occasional merchants, Lu County was now under the rule of General Pingdong.
Taking advantage of the time when the soldiers at the city gate were stunned, Chen Jing led the Iron Eagle Guards to control the city gate while shouting loudly: "The magistrate of Lushi County is plotting a rebellion. General Pingdong ordered the army to enter the city and arrest the rebels!"
At this time, the soldiers at the city gate dared not move even more. Instead, the city gate captain reacted and shouted that these people were disguised as bandits, while ordering his soldiers to attack the Iron Eagle Guards.
Unfortunately, since Xiongba has transferred some of the elite soldiers in the past month, and some of them are still under his control, the soldiers at the city gate are not ordinary soldiers, and these soldiers are no match for the Iron Eagle Warriors.
Seeing dozens of casualties, but still unable to repel the enemy at the city gate, the city gate captain couldn't help but secretly worry. At this time, the defenders in the city have reacted, and soldiers are slowly gathering from various military camps to support outside the city gate.
Unfortunately, Chen Jing and others only occupied the city gate and defended with all their strength, and the army in the city could not attack the gate of the city gate.
A quarter of an hour later, Dian Wei led the army to the city gate. Under the command of Dian Wei and his generals, the 2,500 special troops quickly controlled the situation at the city gate, and then the army marched into the city.
When the battle began at the city gate, Xiongba and the remaining king were chatting in the county government in the city. A few days ago, the remaining king led a group of people and supplies to Lu's.
Unfortunately, after arriving at Lushi, it suddenly snowed heavily. If they were elite soldiers, they would definitely be able to continue marching, but this time, except for some escorting soldiers who could barely be called elite, the rest were ordinary craftsmen and their families, so they had to stop temporarily in Lushi and wait for the heavy snow to stop before setting off again.
This was the fourth time the two had transported personnel and supplies in more than a month. As early as more than a month ago, the two were discussing their own way out. After receiving the news that Huangfu Chaobo had sent troops to Qingzhou, they knew that Huangfu Chaobo's control in Sizhou had become stronger and stronger, otherwise, he would not have sent a large army to run hundreds of miles to support Kong Rong.
After discussing again and again, the two decided to make preparations for both situations. On the surface, they remained calm. If Huangfu Chaobo didn't come to us, we wouldn't go to you.
But secretly, because they both had territories near Chang'an and had connections in Dong Zhuo's army, they used their connections in Dong Zhuo's army and found a way to Shangluo County controlled by Zhang Ji's army to transfer the important craftsmen and their families in Lushi and Yiyang to their own territories.
In the past month, the two had successfully transferred the main craftsmen and their families in the city, as well as the elite soldiers who escorted them, to their respective territories. Just when the two thought that this time they would be unnoticed, Huangfu Chaobo's troops suddenly appeared outside the city, and the two knew that Huangfu Chaobo had discovered their actions.
When they first got the news, the two wanted to fight back, but when they heard that the general in charge was Dian Wei, they no longer wanted to fight. Fortunately, the important craftsmen and personnel and materials in the two counties had been transferred away, and now they could only lead the troops and run away directly.
