When Dong Zhuo rushed to Lower Quyang with the Western Liang Army, he saw that the city gates were tightly shut, and the Yellow Turban soldiers were standing guard on the city walls.
"Hmph, looks like I, Niu Fu, won this bet between us.”
"You can't speak too early!"
Liu Bowen smiled slightly and then rode his horse out, directly heading towards the city gate of Quyang.
"Is he trying to test the Yellow Turban thief's long arrow?”
Seeing Liu Bowen slowly approaching the city wall, everyone, including Dong Zhuo, could not help but worry.
However, what everyone was worried about did not happen. The Yellow Turban soldiers on the city wall held their weapons and did nothing. They watched Liu Bowen approach the city gate. When Liu Bowen came to the city gate, the originally closed city gate opened with a bang.
The city gate opened, and the eighteen riders of Yan Yun rushed out of the city.
"Lower Quyang has already surrendered to General Dong Song. General Dong Song has already prepared food and wine in Lower Quyang County to welcome all the generals.”
Hearing Yan One's words, Dong Zhuo's face instantly broke into a smile.
"Hahaha, as expected of my son, Dong Zhuo. He took down Qu Yang with only eighteen cavalry.”
Dong Zhuo turned to look at Niu Fu.
"If you're willing to bet, you must admit defeat. Remember to choose a thousand elite cavalrymen. Tonight, I want to see these cavalrymen report to the Retreat's Hand.”
Hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Niu Fu quickly said," Sir, I only have a thousand cavalrymen under me. If we take them..."
However, before Niu Fu could finish, Dong Zhuo waved his hand.
"Lead as many soldiers as you can. If one day you can take down a city with eighteen cavalrymen, I, Dong Zhuo, can find a way to get you a thousand cavalrymen.”
After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he ignored Niu Fu." Zhang Ji!”
"I'm here!"
"Immediately send a fast horse to report the good news to the Imperial Court and Guangzong Huangfu Song.”
"I will go and make the arrangements."
"Hahahaha, everyone follow me into the city.”
Three days after Lower Quyang was occupied, the battle at Guangzong also welcomed an opportunity to break through the city.
When the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong City received the news of Zhang Jiao's sudden death, their morale dropped.
Huangfu Song seized the opportunity and sent people to spread the rumor that Quyang had fallen. When the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong City learned that Quyang had fallen, they were immediately shrouded in gloom.
As night fell, Huangfu Song withdrew the soldiers who had surrounded the east gate of Guangzong, putting on a posture of three people missing one.
Zhang Liang did not see through Huangfu Song's plan and led the army to try to break out of the east gate that night.
A large number of Yellow Turban soldiers had just rushed out of the east gate when they were ambushed by the government troops.
The battle lasted until dawn. More than half of the Yellow Turban soldiers who broke out of Guangzong died in battle, and the remaining half surrendered to the government troops.
Ren Gong General Zhang Liang knew that he had no hope of escaping, so he chose to draw his sword and commit suicide.
On the third day after Guangzong City was conquered, Cao Cao and the others finally arrived at Guangzong.
However, it was a pity that the battle in Guangzong had already been decided. Cao Cao and the others were destined to not gain any credit in Guangzong.
"We rushed straight to Guangzong without stopping, hoping to help General Huangfu. I didn't expect that we were still a step too late.”
"You shouldn't have come!"
After welcoming Cao Cao and the rest into the tent, Huangfu Song could not help but shake his head.
"If you leave now, only Dong Zhuo's 30,000 Western Liang soldiers will be left outside Quyang City. They might even suffer a counterattack from the Yellow Turban Army.”
"General Huangfu, Dong Zhuo has 40,000 men, of which 10,000 are the surrendered soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army.”
"In front of 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, is there a big difference between 30,000 and 40,000?”
Huangfu Song glared at Yuan Shao and continued,""Have you ever thought that once Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army is defeated by the Yellow Turban Army, not only will the Great Han lose tens of thousands of soldiers, but this will also fuel the arrogance of the Yellow Turban Army everywhere? Without Dong Zhuo's soldiers, it will be difficult for us to conquer Qu Yang.”
"We didn't think it through."
"After General Lu was taken away, we lost our sense of propriety," Cao Cao said softly. At that time, we only wanted to take down Guangzong as soon as possible, because in our opinion, taking down Guangzong was the way to break through the situation.”
"This time, I will use the credit of taking down Guangzong to exchange for Lu Zhi's safety, so you don't have to worry too much about Lu Zhi's matter.”
Without waiting for anyone to speak, Huangfu Song continued to ask,"You've been through a long journey. Now, I want to ask you, do you still have the strength to go up north to help Qu Yang?”
Hearing Huangfu Song's words, Cao Cao and the others nodded their heads despite feeling bitter.
"General Huangfu, don't worry. We will definitely not be a burden to the army.”
"That's good!"
Huangfu Song had just landed when the voice of a messenger came from outside his tent.
"Report, this is an urgent report from Qu Yang."
