Li Yang ordered Huang Zhong to be the pioneer of the way, and led five hundred iron horsemen to open the way, and he and Li Hu and Dian Wei led the army behind the palace!

Li Yang personally led the Liaodong Iron Cavalry to escort more than 100,000 people all the way to the north, during which a small group of men and horses occasionally came to attack and harass, but they were all repelled by Li Yang's army!

The people's procession traveled twenty miles a day to Liaodong!

Twenty miles a day, it seems to be very slow, but it is the limit of the people, after all, the people are not well-trained soldiers, and help the old and the young, the good and the bad are uneven, the march is slow in Li Yang's expectations, think about the history of Liu Bei wrapped around the Xinye area of the people marching, there is Cao Cao chasing behind, regardless of whether Cao Cao really wants to carry out a few massacres, but in the hearts of the people, there is always a sense of urgency, in that case, a day of marching is only twenty miles!

The army was halfway to the road, and as soon as the front foot stepped into the boundary of Youzhou, Li Yang received an urgent report from the scout on the back foot: "Report to the lord, the trace of the Xiliang army has been found fifty miles away in the south, and according to the rough estimate of the last general, the enemy army is afraid that there are no less than 30,000 people!" ”

Li Yang frowned and said, "Who can be found to be in charge of the troops?" ”

"Xu!" The scout replied!

"Xu Rong!" Li Yang gasped!

Li Yang was very familiar with this name, and Xu Rong was the only fierce man in history to defeat Cao Cao and Sun Jian at the same time.

"Xu Rong has the ability to command troops, not to be underestimated!" Li Yang sighed, looked sideways at Fu Zhi, frowned, and said, "For today's plan, what can I do?" ”

After pondering for a while, he slowly spoke, and said, "The Xiliang Army is on an expedition, and the veterans of the division are tired, so they will not be able to fight for a long time.

The prince can make two preparations, first, order someone to send an order to Liaodong, and order Zilong and others to lead troops to help in the war.

Secondly, the prince can order people to set up suspicious formations on the way to disrupt the deployment of the enemy's army, and it can also play a certain role in diverting the army.

Our army only needs to wait here for work, wait for the Xiliang army to come, and take advantage of its unstable foothold to take the lead in attacking, or it can play a miraculous effect of success in a war! ”

"That's a good plan!" Li Yang gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Just say it to the public!" ”

Fu Zhi and Huang Zhong personally led five hundred iron horsemen to the fork in the road a few miles away and arranged a suspicious formation!

Li Yang led the army to rest on the spot, eat and drink enough, and wait for the enemy army!

Half an hour later!

Frustrated and Huang Zhong returned the same way, Huang Zhong walked forward with a laugh and said, "Gong and Dacai, the last general is convinced!" ”

Li Yang smiled and said, "The public can compare with the army!" ”

"That's true!" Huang Zhong echoed!

Dong Zhuo ordered Xu Rong to personally lead 30,000 Xiliang iron cavalry to pursue Li Yang.

Dong Zhuo gave Xu Rong a death order, even if he chased him to the ends of the earth, he would kill Li Yang and then hurry up, he would see people alive and corpses when he died!

Xu Rong is known to have the ability to command troops, and he knows that the labor expedition is not good for himself, but he is followed by a pig teammate, and often uses Dong Zhuo's order to restrain himself, which makes his head as big as a fight, and he can't pull out a knife to kill people, so as to solve the hatred in his heart!

This pig teammate is Fan Chou!

Dong Zhuo ordered Xu Rong to be the main general and Fan Chou to be the deputy general, and jointly pursued Li Yang and others!

It stands to reason that you can honestly do your lieutenant general, but Fan Chou is a person who is not willing to be lonely, he always likes to add drama to himself, in addition to the lieutenant general, he actually started the work of supervising the army!

Fan Chou is a very interesting funny pig teammate, he is very good at taking proportions, he is very self-aware, so he never dictates in front of Xu Rong, but he is like a long-tongued woman, always chattering endlessly, provoking Xu Rong to draw a knife against him several times, and he can't kill him quickly!

Xu Rong delivered the goods, and Fan Chou immediately accompanied the smiling face and apologized: "The general is angry!" Don't be like the general! ”

Xu Rong's anger subsided, and Fan Chou immediately changed his face, kicked his nose and said: "The prime minister has an order, this time he will pursue the enemy army at all costs!" The general should have ordered a hasty march! ”

Fan Chou is not a prison army, but he always uses chicken feathers as an arrow, and uses Dong Zhuo's order to restrain Xu Rong and urge him to march quickly!

The labor division is on an expedition, and the veterans of the division are tired, and they even have to march in a hurry by themselves, do you say that this Fan Chou should die?

Xu Rong's teeth itched with hatred, but he was helpless, because what Fan Chou said was true, and he couldn't refute Dong Zhuo's military order!

The Xiliang army traveled all the way north at a speed of sixty miles a day!

Looking at the soldiers who were physically and mentally broken, Xu Rong was anxious, and he had the intention to make a general who would not be affected by the life of the monarch outside, but he really didn't dare, Dong Zhuo's tyrannical temper, he had been taught, that was a master who would kill people if he didn't agree with him, Xu Rong didn't dare to joke with his own life! 、

In a dilemma, the army marched to a fork in the road.

The scout came to report: "Report to the general, there is a fork in the road ahead, the left side is the official road, flat but you need to take a detour, the right side is a small road, the thorns are dense but can save a lot of rush time!" ”

"Pass my general's order, order the army to rest in place, send additional scouts, and investigate carefully!" Xu Rong said!

Fan Chou frowned and objected, and said, "The enemy army is dozens of miles ahead, why does the general always hesitate?" ”

"Marching and fighting is not child's play, how can you be careless to the enemy!" Xu Rong sighed helplessly, and persuaded Fan Chou bitterly: "Li Yang is a scheming person and often does unexpected things. If there is a fork in the road ahead, for fear of deception, you should be cautious and do not march rashly! ”

"The prime minister ordered us to hunt down and kill Li Yang at all costs, isn't it against the military order for the general to act like this?" Fan Chou changes the soup but not the medicine, and a set of rhetoric is used until the old!

Facing Fan Chou's questioning, Xu Rong smiled angrily: "The battlefield situation is changing rapidly, how can a general be rigid and abide by the rules?" It should be appropriate to change from the right! ”

"I joined the army at a young age, and followed the prime minister to the north and south for more than ten years, the general needs to know that I also came from the sea of blood in the sword mountain, how can I be a person who doesn't know the art of war?" Fan Chou's face showed an anxious look and said, "What about it.. The prime minister's order, don't dare to disobey! ”

In recent years, Dong Zhuo has become more and more moody and tyrannical, the generals of Xiliang are afraid of Dong Zhuo like a tiger, especially Fan Chou, for the military orders issued by Dong Zhuo, Fan Chou does not dare to give birth to the slightest slack!

Xu Rong's face froze, nodded with deep sympathy, and sighed: "The general has scruples in his heart, why shouldn't I?" However, the veterans of the division are tired, and it is not advisable to march quickly! Once the enemy army waits for work, our army is in danger of annihilation! ”

Fan Chou looked up to the sky and sighed, frowned and pondered for a long time, then bowed and said: "Please ask the general and me with five thousand soldiers and horses, I will take the small road and go to pursue Li Yang, the general will lead the army to take the official road, slow down in the rear, sweep the formation for us, and hold the retreat!" ”

Xu Rong nodded helplessly and said, "Just follow the general's words!" ”

Before leaving, Fan Chou bowed and said, "General, take care!" ”

Xu Rong wanted to speak and stopped, and said: "On the day of the general's triumph, a certain person will put wine in the camp and drink with you!" ”
