The news of Mu Jing's overtaking of sour jujube also spread to Bishui Pass.

"The young master of the Mu clan is really powerful, first conquered Hanoi, and then went straight to the sour jujube, the young hero, sixteen or seventeen years old, has such a record, and the former champion Hou is probably on par with it!"

"The sour jujube has been broken, and the Kanto thieves are probably too busy to take care of themselves, when my army counterattacks!"

"Jingpingjun is so powerful, it can't be underestimated!"

"If the northern front loses, I want to see how they attack my Bishui Pass!"

“……“

Mu Jing defeated the northern defense line of the coalition army on the northern front, conquered the sour date, forced the coalition army to shrink the northern defense line, and divided the troops to the north to deal with it.

"Mu Longtu, the benefits of this son are still above his father, is it possible that my Han family can only prostrate under his Mu clan in the future, I am unwilling!" The Son of Heaven Liu Wei seemed to be happy, but he hid endless worries.

He is afraid of defeat, and he is also worried about defeat, standing in his position, it is best that the Kwantung Coalition Army can die with Mushan Dong Zhuo's army, but unfortunately although his idea is good, it is not practical.

"Huang Shao, Zhao Ping!"

Mu Shan was naturally happy, and he directly ordered: "Order the Southern Army, the Violent Bear Army, to choose a day out of the city to fight, such a good time, when we counterattack!" ”

"No!"

Huang Shao received the order.

"Fengxian, you also led the army out of the city to fight and defeat the Kwantung thieves for the imperial court!" This kind of thing that can be bargained, Dong Zhuo is naturally not far behind, and sent the strongest general under his command, Lu Bu, to attack.

……

At the same time as the breakthrough of the northern front, the morale of the imperial army on the battlefield of Bishui Pass rose greatly, and began to continuously counterattack and attack the camp tent of the Kwantung coalition army, within three days, the coalition army continued to rout, and retreated again and again, Lu Bu conquered the Xuzhou army camp tent, killed hundreds of enemies, and the violent bear army broke through the defense line of the Jizhou army, annihilated the main force of the first battalion of the Jizhou army, and the southern army drove straight in, broke Cao Cao's generous camp, and forced Cao Cao to wave his troops more than 20 miles away......

For the imperial court, the situation is very good.

And at this moment, on the battlefield on the southern front, the Xiliang Army also made a breakthrough.

Henan County, southern.

This was the battlefield of the Western Liang Army and the Jiangdong Army.

The Western Liang Army, with Niu Fu as the main general and Li Ru as the military division, led tens of thousands of troops to deploy defenses south of Luoyang, Luhun County and Xincheng County, presenting a fan-shaped defense to deal with the Jiangdong Army's attempt to enter Luoyang.

And the Jiangdong Army, after breaking through Luyang City, drove straight into Liangxian and took Liang County, and the troops were far away from the new city.

They have been holding on for more than half a month, large and small, and they have fought no less than ten times, with casualties on each other.

However, the Jiangdong Army became more and more courageous and vigorous.

On the contrary, it was the Xiliang army, after the first battle, it could not hold on, but it made Xiliang's morale a little low, causing the defense line to be a little shaky.

Xincheng County.

The main force of Xiliang was stationed.

Niu Fu was tall, walking back and forth in the camp tent, looking a little manic: "Damn, I lost the battle again, and the first battalion can't win against the Shang's family and the other battalion, are they still my Xiliang soldiers?" ”

News came again today, in the morning, on the battlefield between Liangxian and Xincheng, they suffered another defeat, and the general Duan Xuan was defeated by Zu Mao, a fierce general of the Jiangdong Army, and lost hundreds of soldiers.

"Don't be impatient!"

Li Ru held a book in his hand and read it peacefully.

"Li Wenyou, you can settle down!" Niu Fu glanced at him, his voice was like thunder, and said, "In the past three days, we have lost two battles, and if this continues, our morale will be lower and lower." ”

"General Niu, as the main general, you should be calm at any time!" Li Ru raised his head, his eyes met Niu Fu's bronze bell-like eyes, and said indifferently.

They are brothers-in-law, both Dong Zhuo's sons-in-law, and they are definitely Dong Zhuo's most loyal generals.

"I can't learn from you, the sky is falling, you can still eat, I can't, I'm unhappy when I lose!" Niu Fu said arrogantly, under Dong Zhuo's command, only he dared to talk to Li Ru like this.

"You have to lose to win!"

Li Ru put down the book in his hand and said: "Jiangdong Tiger, extremely fierce, but if it is too strong, it will be broken, I just want him to win, otherwise you think that our Xiliang army is really so easy to lose!" ”

"Emotional Duan simmering Dong Yue, they have been defeated one after another, they are all ordered by you, what the hell are you thinking?"

Niu Fu's eyes suddenly lit up.

He knows this guy too well.

A bad stomach.

If you fight with him, ten of you will die.

"Huh!"

The corners of Li Ru's mouth raised a grim smile: "It's still a little hot now, just wait a few days, and the day when he Jiangdong Fierce Tiger has enough confidence to attack Luoyang will be the day he is defeated!" ”

It is a matter of course to give away people's heads, this is his Li Wenyou's means.

What he wants is Sun Jian's confidence.

As long as Sun Jian has enough confidence to break through Luoyang, then the ambition in his heart will explode, like a wildfire burning the plain, out of control, no matter what obstacles at that time, it will not be able to stop his enterprising heart.

……

Liang County.

It was effortless to attack this county seat, and at that time, the Xiliang army defeated Luyang, regardless of the end, and naturally could not hold Liang County, so that the Jiangdong Army could easily take Liang County.

This is the bridgehead stationed in Henan County.

The main force of the Jiangdong Army was stationed here, waiting for the best opportunity, intending to go north in one fell swoop and break through Luoyang.

"Lord, General Zu Mao has won another battle today!"

In the county office, Cheng Pu said.

"Da Rong captured the Yang people?" Sun Jian looked at this topographic map, heard Cheng Pu's report, his eyes lit up, and he landed on a position on the topographic map.

"Yes!"

Cheng Pu nodded: "The Yangren gathered 1,500 defenders stationed in Xiliang, fought for three hours, and then routed to the west and withdrew from the Yangrenju!" ”

Yangrenju is a small town between Liang County and Xincheng.

The two county towns are within a radius of one generation, and they are the places where the two armies are stationed, and the geographical location of this Yang people is key, and it is an important fortress of the Xiliang Army.

"Sweep away the Yang people, then the Xiliang army can only stick to Xincheng County, don't dare to come out!"

Sun Jian's tiger eyes flashed with a gleam: "We march north, we should have no worries!" ”

"Lord, I think we need to wait!" Cheng Pu was cautious by nature, and he advised: "Although the Xiliang army has been defeated again and again, it will not damage its vitality, once we go north, it will be difficult to take care of it!" ”

"And what do you mean?" Sun Jian asked.

"Fight!"

Cheng Pudao: "Only by defeating them can we let them be pressed in the land of the new city, and then send the Yuzhou army to the north to suppress it, and our Jiangdong army can take advantage of the situation to go north and break through Luoyang!" ”

"I'm afraid they shouldn't fight!"

Sun Jian naturally has confidence in his Jiangdong Army, but it is difficult to say whether the Xiliang Army should fight.

"There's a way!" Cheng Pu pointed to the marching map and said: "According to the scouts, there is still a part of Xiliang's troops here, and we will surround the Xiliang soldiers here, and we will definitely force their main force to fight!" ”

"Good!"

Sun Jian clenched his fists and ordered: "Pass my military order, all departments will attack, and besiege the barbarian!" ”

Manzhong is a mountain, but also a small township on the mountain, located in the southeast of the new city, the northwest of Liang County, where the five thousand soldiers and horses of the Xiliang army are stationed, and the commander of the army is Xu Rong.

Overnight, the barbarians were surrounded by the Jiangdong Army.

"General, the Jiangdong Army has appeared in the east!"

"General, the Jiangdong Army has also appeared in the north!"

"General, we also have the Jiangdong Army stationed in the rear!"

“……”

One by one, the news spread to the headquarters of the Xiliang Army in Manzhong Town.

Xu Rong is not very old, thin and shrewd, a native of Liaodong, extraordinary martial arts, good at using an iron spear, is a member of the Xiliang Army, low-key, but people dare not underestimate him, he heard the news one by one, but he was not shocked at all: "Pouring out of the nest and besieging our army, I think it is Xiang Zhuang who dances the sword with the intention of Pei Gong!" ”

"General, do you want to fight?"

Aribe asked in a low voice.

"Order, all battalions don't come out!"

Xu Rong shook his head and ordered: "Hold on and wait for help!" ”

His thousands of soldiers and horses confronted the main force of the Jiangdong Army, and there was a dead end.

"General, why don't you break through?" A radical general said.

"Break through, I'm afraid it's right in their hands!" Xu Rong shook his head: "We don't have to do anything, just wait, I believe that General Niu Fu and Li Junshi will be deployed!" ”

……

Xincheng County.

"Wen Wei, in the barbarian besieged by the Jiangdong Army, Xu Rong's five thousand soldiers and horses are trapped in it!" Niu Fu said impatiently: "I want to immediately gather the soldiers and horses and go to the rescue!" ”

"Yes!"

Li Ru didn't object, but said lightly: "But you need to lose this battle!" ”

"Defeat?"

Niu Fu was puzzled.

"Must be defeated!" Li Ru emphasized.

"Got it!"

Niu Fu knew that his brain was not easy to use, so he implemented Li Ru's words in an all-round way.

……

Niu Fu gathered all the main forces of the Xiliang Army in Luhun and Xincheng and attacked with all their might to meet the Jiangdong Army, which was in the hands of the Jiangdong Army.

The two armies opened their camps and fought between the mountains and plains within a radius of more than ten miles from the small town of Manzhong.

The battle was in full swing, and after three days of fighting, both sides were suddenly exhausted.

At this time, the Jiangdong army suddenly rose up, and the young lord Sun Ce led 3,000 strange soldiers to attack from the flank mountain road, crossed the mountains and mountains, and broke the Niu Fu Zhong Army with the empty road on the back of the abdomen.

Sun Jian personally took action, fiercely fought Niu Fu, and after fifty rounds of fierce fighting, Niu Fu was injured.

Seeing the defeat of the Xiliang army, at this time, Xu Rong Duan Xuan of the Xiliang army joined forces to kill, and integrated the rout of the Chinese army with thousands of soldiers and horses, so as to repel Sun Jian's attack and save Niu Fu.

But since this battle, the morale of the Xiliang army has become more and more low, and after integrating the defeated armies from all directions, Niu Fu and Xu Rong Duan Xuan and others discussed, and directly gave up the place in the barbarian, even all the positions outside the city were abandoned, and all the soldiers and horses were gathered to retreat to the two county towns of Xincheng and Luhun, and they could not hold out.
