Chapter 176 A Gathering of Heroes, the Rhythm of the Great Battle(1/2)
Under Juyang City, the smoke has not cleared.
Jiang Qi, who attacked the west city gate, suddenly evacuated from the middle road after breaking the city. Then Xu Huang's army came and chased for five miles, killing thousands of enemies, and then rushed to the south city gate to help.
Ding Yuan in the south of the city could not attack for a long time and chose to withdraw when Xu Huang arrived. However, Yuan Yi in the east had already ordered the withdrawal when he found out that Xu Huang appeared in the north, so he retreated.
Juyang City was defended.
Although Xu Rong was seriously injured, he still insisted on personally taking Duan Xuan and other generals out of the city to meet Xu Huang.
Without Xu Huang, Juyang would have been destroyed.
"General Xu's coming here is really a timely help to save Juyang from danger! Please accept the last general's bow!"
With quick eyes and quick hands, Xu Huang immediately stepped forward to help him: "General Xu, you must not do this! You are injured, so do not move rashly!"
The two looked at each other at close range, and then laughed "haha", but Xu Rong was injured, so he didn't laugh as wildly as Xu Huang.
Duan Yan met Xu Huang and said with a smile: "Two generals Xu, we are tired from fighting and rushing to rescue, so we should quickly enter the city and take a rest!"
Then he took Xu Rong's hand from Xu Huang's hand and said softly: "General, we need to be treated as soon as possible to avoid leaving the root cause of the disease!"
When Xu Huang entered Gouyang City, Duan Yan arranged a banquet and killed dozens of pigs and ordered them to be sent to Xu Huang's military camp. It was already the second day when he saw Xu Rong again.
Xu Rong washed away the blood, changed out of his armor, and wore a brown brocade robe. He looked more casual, but his face was still a little pale.
Xu Rong ordered people to serve tea and said to Xu Huang: "The general is here today to discuss the next action. It is reported that the three armies of Jiang Qiding, Yuan Yi and Yuan Yi have retreated to Dingtao. Although their attack was defeated in this battle, it did not end.
Our vitality has been damaged, and in addition to the battle of Juyang, our army has also suffered a lot of losses. I wonder if the King of Bohai has any intention of marching south?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Huang recognized Xu Rong's probing intentions. Xu Rong's army had suffered a lot of losses, and what he meant was that he had unintentionally moved southward.
"Huang has not received the order from the lord, and if there is no threat from Juyang, I will return to Jiyang."
"Rong Yi has not received Dong Gong's order, and there are no additional troops. It will be very difficult to go south. If this is the case, it will be like the previous situation, with our army stationed in Juyang."
Xu Huang suddenly thought of the enemy troops he encountered halfway, and planned to inform Xu Rong.
"While I was marching, I encountered two armies. One was Yuan Jin, now stationed in Ludu, and the other unknown army. It was Yuan's army's new fighting method, specializing in cavalry. Among them, arrows made of pure iron were lost, and they were made of heavy iron.
The crossbow can destroy ordinary armors when fired. After this army was defeated by me, they should have fled to Jia Mi."
"Heavy crossbow? I haven't seen anything like this in this siege."
Xu Rong recalled the battlefield and the battles of the other two gates, but there was no mention of the loss of heavy crossbow iron.
"Next, I will send troops to capture the second city of Jiamiludu, so pay attention then."
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier came and handed Xu Rong a silk letter.
"General, urgent message from Luoyang."
Xu Rong took it and opened it to read, and was really surprised.
"This...Dong Gong actually wants to conquer Yuan Shao himself..."
Xu Huang was stunned after hearing this, what? Dong Zhuo wants to conquer Yuan Shao himself? Because of making Liu Chong the emperor?
"The general wants to conquer Yuan Shao himself. It seems that General Xu needs to recover from his injuries as soon as possible." Xu Huang said with a smile.
"Dong Gong wants to raise an army of 100,000 people to leave Hulao Pass and go south from Dongjun to attack Jiyin and Runan. In addition, he also ordered Niu Fu to lead an army of 50,000 people to leave Xuanyuan Pass and attack Runan from Yingchuan."
Xu Huang frowned slightly, thinking that he needed to inform his lord of this matter as soon as possible.
I originally thought that the mission had been completed after the siege of Juyang was solved, but now the situation looks like——
The big one is coming!
"General Xu, if you dare, please inform my lord of this matter." Xu Huang told him bluntly.
Xu Huang's uprightness made Xu Rong look at him again, thinking that all of King Bohai's subordinates were indeed extraordinary people.
"It doesn't matter. I guess Dong Gong will also inform King Bohai about this matter. Maybe he will also ask King Bohai to send troops from Jizhou."
Xu Huang's lips twitched, my lord is not in Jizhou.
He is behind enemy lines now.
That's why Xu Huang wanted to inform him as soon as possible, because even if Dong Zhuo wanted to inform him, he would still send the news to Yecheng, Jizhou. If it were transferred to another person at that time, the time limit would be greatly delayed.
…
Suiyang, Liu Qing received Xu Huang's urgent and secret letter a few days later. After reading the content of the letter, he couldn't help being surprised. In front of Guo Jia and Chen Gong, he directly shouted: "Oh, Dong Zhuo actually wants to
He personally led an army of 100,000 to attack Yuan Shao. It seems that Dong Zhuo is getting impatient."
"Yuan Shao established a new emperor. This matter is also criticized among the nobles. However, in the Yanyu area, most families have been tied to the Yuan family and it is difficult to let go. They have to blindly follow. My lord, Yuan Shao will not do this important thing.
If you are not prepared, my lord must be on guard." Chen Gong said.
"Fengxiao, what do you think of this matter?" Liu Qing asked Guo Jia.
Guo Jia raised his hands in salute and replied: "According to the established strategy, my lord should take Xuzhou. Now that Xuzhou has not been completely settled, my lord has taken the Liang Kingdom of Yuzhou with his own efforts. This is really an extraneous incident and will definitely incur the hatred of Yuan Shao."
Guo Jia suddenly shook his head, "Although my lord is full of money, it has messed up the overall situation."
"What's the big picture?"
"In the decisive battle between Yuan and Dong, my lord can just sit back and watch, waiting for both parties to suffer losses and reap the benefits!"
"Military advisor, Zilong said that sitting on the sidelines is a derogatory term, how can it be used to describe the lord!" Dian Wei suddenly interrupted, making everyone look at him with admiration.
"Eat your meat!" Guo Jia scolded, and Dian Wei curled his lips. Guo Jia continued: "My lord, what is the current situation? Dong Zhuo has raised an army of 100,000 to attack Yuan, and Yuan Shao will respond with equal strength. But where is the lord?
, actually caught between the two.”
Liu Qing scratched his head. Hearing what Guo Jia said, it was true. He originally thought that this trip to the Liang Kingdom would turn things upside down and get a huge advantage, because Suiyang Shu wanted to cut off the connection between Runan and Jiyin counties.
Contact, I didn’t expect this to be a big problem.
Liu Qing has now become a thorn in Yuan Shao's side. Before Dong Zhuo's army arrives, Yuan Shao will definitely use all his strength to attack Liu Qing and open up the Liang Kingdom.
"Then out of filial piety, do we have to give up on Liang and sit on the sidelines?" Liu Qing asked.
This question stopped Guo Jia, give up? In today's Liang State, Liang Wang has become Liu Qing's biggest fan, and the eight counties of Liang State have been controlled by Lu Bu and other generals. It can be said that it is extremely consolidated. With such good conditions, give up?
"My lord, you really love to joke!" Guo Jia shook his head and said helplessly.
From Guo Jia's words, Liu Qing heard the affirmation, so he directly announced: "Since the Liang Kingdom has surrendered to my king, the people of the Liang Kingdom are my prince's people. If the people are willing to obey my king, how can I abandon them!"
After speaking the heroic words, Liu Qing threw a sentence to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, think about how to deal with it. Before Dong Zhuo arrives, how will I deal with Yuan Shao's army?"
Without waiting for Guo Jia to respond, Liu Qing continued to say to Chen Gong: "Although there is food in the army now, it cannot last long. Now that my king, Dian Wei, Lu Bu, and Yuan Jun have surrendered, they will all consume food. At this time, Xun or
We are worried about the food that Qingzhou needs, so we should not ask for food. You are the most familiar with the land of Yanyu, so please be more careful about raising food."
"Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best!" Chen Gong replied.
There was still a lot of food in Prince Liang's treasury.
Guo Jia reminded: "My lord, please relax about food and grass. Xun Wenruo has no food at home, but Mi Zizhong has food at home!"
"First Evolution"
Hearing Guo Jiayi's reminder, Liu Qing suddenly realized.
"Yes! Xuzhou! Mi's family!"
Guo Jia reminded again: "My lord, please don't forget that if you want to get the food of the Mi family, you must first marry the Mi family's younger sister!"
Liu Qing immediately remembered the agreement he had made with Mi Zhu, but the agreement was not about food, but about Xuzhou.
The Mi family helped Liu Qing to capture Xuzhou. After that, Liu Qing married Mi Zhu's sister Mi Ren.
Mi's actions can be regarded as bringing money into the group. Mi Ren became the princess and Mi Zhu became the uncle. In a sense, this was a kind of overtaking in a corner.
Liu Qing was thinking that it was time for Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Zhang He and Zhu Ling to finish the battle in Xuzhou and come to join Liang Guo.
Since you have decided not to leave, you must summon all your strength and go all out.
In addition, Liu Qing can also ask for foreign aid, including Jinan Cao Cao and Pingyuan Liu Bei to come to help. When the time comes, Liu Bei will bring Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Cao Cao will bring the Cao brothers, the Xiahou brothers, and Yu Jin to deal with someone who is not as good as Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
Yuan Shao, it should be more than enough.
"Myself, Dian Wei, and Lu Bu are already in the Liang Kingdom..." Liu Qing pointed his finger.
"Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Zhu Ling came from Xuzhou..."
"Gao Shun and Xu Huang are stationed in Chenliu and can provide support at any time..."
"Invite Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Cao Cao, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Yu Jin..."
Liu Qing pressed his hand over and over again and found that it was not enough.
When the time comes, line up in front of Yuan Shao's formation, and then extend a finger to Yuan Shao.
"Come here!"
Liu Qing had already imagined the day of the battle.
"My lord, looking at how well you take care of everything, it seems there is no need for a strategy anymore," Guo Jia said with a smile.
"Han Xin ordered troops, the more the better, and the filial piety. This battle may determine the situation in the next few years, or even ten years. You can't take it lightly!" Liu Qing said solemnly.
"Alas!" Guo Jia let out a long sigh: "Wen Ruoqian warned me that my lord must not go into full-scale war with the Yuan family. But now, my lord must not only start a full-scale war with Yuan Shao, but also it will be a strategic decisive battle. This battle must be
