The Du family is located in the south of Hulu City, crossing the Ji River, and then walking for more than twenty miles.

Du Shang was already in his forties when he was commanding the troops to quell the rebellion. His eldest son Du Ju and his second son Du An had the opportunity to take office. He was not unfamiliar with military affairs. Du Ju led his troops to Hulu to help, and Du An protected the manor. Due to the party and corruption reasons, he had only had the opportunity to become an official in recent years. He first entered the court as a ruler, and later released him, and served as two county magistrates. He just stepped down and returned home not long ago.

When Duan learned that Zhu Zhi was leading the army, he knew that something was wrong. He sent people to strengthen defense while sending people to contact Zhu Zhi.

Zhu Zhi was very polite. He told the people who came that I was not here to fight, but I was ordered to worship Du Gong. Du Gong promoted Zhu Jun, the current Grand Marshal, and Sun Jian were both Zhu Jun's old officials. When Zhu Jun mentioned the kindness of Du Gong, he also heard that Du Gong was famous in Jingzhou. He admired Du Gong very much and always wanted to come to see him. However, his military affairs were busy and he had no time, so he entrusted me to come.

Duan knew that this was an excuse, but he was not easy to refuse. Others came to worship his father. As a son, he had to accompany him to sacrifice with all etiquette. He handed over the defense in the manor to Du Ju's son Du Cheng, and went out to greet him himself, accompanying Zhu Zhi to the family cemetery outside the manor. Zhu Zhi offered sacrifices, saluted respectfully, and read the sacrificial texts asked Yang Xiu to write.

Although Du'an was average in his knowledge, he could still hear good or bad things. As soon as he heard this sacrificial article, he knew that it was not something that vulgar people could write. He should compliment him for his feelings and etiquette. "I didn't expect that the lieutenant was so literary."

Zhu Zhi smiled and shook his head. "Digong, I can't write such an article. I'm dissatisfied with you saying that this is Mr. Yang's masterpiece."

"Young Master Yang?" Du An was stunned. Those who could call him a young man were not ordinary people, which means that his father had been at least a senior official of the third public. No one has the opportunity to do the third public. His father's office is 2,000 shi, and he is still quite far from the third public. Besides, he has been a third public and his surname is Yang, which makes people easily reminded of that family. "Which young master Yang?"

"Yang Xiu, the son of Hongnong, is now the chief clerk of the general who is seeking rebellion. Zhi was ordered to worship Du Gong and specially asked him to make a sacrifice." Zhu Zhi said, and looked at the tombstone written by Cai Yong, with a calm and gentle smile on his face. "If this is the case, how can you be worthy of the inscription written by Cai Boji?"

Duan was shocked and very grateful. Sun Jian and his son were so proud that he could not help but be polite. But what shocked him even more was that Yang Biao's son Yang Xiuwei was the chief clerk of Sun Ce. The Yang family of Hongnong is a family as famous as the Yuan family in Runan, and its influence is extraordinary.

Zhu Zhi was prepared and took the opportunity to explain the relationship between Sun Jian and his son and Yuan Shu. Sun Jian was the old subordinate of Yuan Shu, and Sun Ce was the heir of the career commanded by Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu's son-in-law. Yang Xiu's mother was Yuan Shu's sister, and the relationship between Yang and Sun Ce in the Hong family was very close. Moreover, Sun Jian and Sun Ce were both loyal ministers and famous generals who supported the court. They fought with Yuan Shao as the order of the court, not for personal gain.

Although Duan still pretended to be confused and was unwilling to express his opinion, his defense line in his heart had loosened and his expression was no longer a thousand miles away.

Zhu Zhi knew it, and then chatted with Du An in a peaceful and dilute tone, and naturally talked about the war not long ago. Sun Jian defeated Yuan Tan by Shanfu, and Sun Ce defeated Wen Chou with two hundred cavalry and attacked Yuan Tan's camp in the back. Wen Chou was captured, Yuan Tan was defeated, and Hulu was surrounded. Yuan Tan was broken and did not dare to come to rescue. It was unquestionable to destroy the city.

After hearing these achievements, Du'an's expression changed. Sun Jian and Sun Ce's achievements were not unfamiliar with him. When he was defying Dong, Sun Ce led his troops to Luoyang. A few years ago, Sun Ce wiped out the elite Xiliang leaders led by Xu Rong in Nanyang. These are all classic battle examples that everyone knows, but they are far away and he has never been connected with him. Now the Sun family's father and son are by their side, and these wars are just a few days ago, but he cannot think carefully about them.

Can Lu Qian guard Hulu? If the Du family cannot defend, wouldn’t it be boring to oppose the Sun family’s father and son? If you want to be famous, you have no profit, and your family will be ruined and your family will be destroyed, you will have to bear a rebellious name. How can you be worthy of your father Du Shang’s reputation for his lifetime?

Vision was shaken, and Zhu Zhi struck while the iron was hot and asked Duan to check with his subordinates.

Zhu Zhi had more than 4,000 people under his command, most of which were Danyang soldiers that Sun Ce had taken from Liu Bei. Before coming, Zhu Zhi had the intention to show off his strength, so he let the soldiers dress neatly, wiped the weapons and armor cleanly, and emphasized the military appearance. At this moment, they were all full of energy and murderous aura. Duan was an official, and he knew at a glance that the Du family was not the opponent of these people. Whether Sun Ce could capture Hulu was a little bit easier. Zhu Zhi wanted to capture the Du family. Let these people attack the manor and the Du family was finished.

So he surrendered and enthusiastically invited Zhu Zhi to the manor to hold a banquet.

Huang Gai came outside the door of the Shan family, tied his mount, looked at the Shan family's manor, and ordered people to come forward and shout.

Shan Xin's younger brother Shan Yi came to the wall after hearing the news, looked at Huang Gai outside the manor and more than 3,000 soldiers led by him, and spitted disdainfully. Before he even finished the shouting, he shouted loudly: "Where did the raccoon dog come from? How dare you roar outside my house? Come on, ejaculate me!"

Raccoon is a dialect in this area, which means the local dog. Huang Gai has been stationed in Yuzhou for a long time and can understand this sentence. Seeing that Shan Yi was so arrogant, he had no intention of talking nonsense to him, and immediately ordered an attack.

Shan Yi was not willing to be outdone and ordered the crossbowman on the castle to shoot. Huang Gai naturally could not let him do it, so he immediately sent the crossbowman to suppress the shooting. Shan Yi quickly discovered that both sides were not of the same level. The crossbowman outside the city not only had a large number of people, but also shot very accurately. Just a few rounds of shooting, the crossbowman on the castle lost dozens of people, and the rest of the people were also timid and dared not attack.

Seeing that the arrow rain on the fort became more and more sparse, Huang Gai ordered people to swim across the moat, climb onto the raised suspension bridge, cut off the suspension cable, put down the suspension bridge, and then led the guard camp, carried the prepared tree trunk, and hit the fort gate with a rumbling rumbling. The rumbling thrust into the fort gate, and more soldiers continued to cross the moat and rushed to the bottom of the fort, and the ants attacked.

Although Shan Yi shouted loudly and asked the troops to shoot arrows and fight back, in front of Huang Gai's superior forces, more than 200 pieces of the Shan family were suppressed and had no power to fight back at all, and could not stop Huang Gai's attack. In less than half an hour, Huang Gai broke through the fort gate and immediately ordered the bloody blow to the Shan family. With an order, more than 3,000 people with strong fighting spirit broke into the main courtyard of the Shan family, killed everyone when they saw them, and snatched things when they saw them. In a moment, the Shan family screamed everywhere.

Huang Gai held a battle knife in his hand and came to the pale Danyi side door.

At this time, Shan Yi had long lost his conceit as before. He hid behind the army and shivered.

"Come on, call me another raccoon." Huang Gai hooked his fingers and sneered.

Shan Yi didn't dare to be arrogant. He knelt in front of Huang Gai and begged for mercy repeatedly. Huang Gai just sneered and looked at Shan Yi motionlessly. Shan Yi kowtowed and kowtowed with blood, but Huang Gai didn't react. When Shan Yi stopped kowtowing, he sat on the ground in despair. He waved his sword and cut off Shan Yi's head with one knife.
