Nanyang is still shrouded in the flames of war.

At this moment, Lu Bu had a anger that could not be vented.

He held his breath, his breath sank into the dantian, and his whole body strength condensed into a punch, but when this punch came out, the herdsman suddenly withdrew, and he seemed to be accumulating strength and punched the air.

This kind of grievance made his anger soar.

But at this time, he was still sensible.

The sudden retreat of the pastoral army always brought him an unknown sense of tension, and he did not dare to herd the main general at all, that underestimated this brother Zhang Liao, who had played since he was a child, if he despised half a point, he would suffer a big loss.

"Junhou, the official road has been opened!"

Song Xian came to ask, "Do we need to go south quickly?" ”

"Stop for a moment!"

Lu Bu pondered it again and again, but still stopped.

I don't know the reason and purpose of Zhang Liao's sudden release of the defensive line, he is always uneasy, and the state army is his capital to settle down, he can't lose too much of the main force of the state here.

If that's the case, even if he defeats Nanyang, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to gain a firm position in the Xiliang Group.

"The scouts are all out, ask me clearly, why the pastoral army retreated, where it was withdrawn, and what is the situation in Wancheng now, and urge Cao Xing, let him lead the rear wing soldiers and horses, and quickly join our army, I must gather troops, I have enough confidence!"

Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

He has no confidence because he has divided his troops, as long as the state army is assembled, he has the confidence to deal with any unexpected situation.

"No!"

Song Xian immediately went to arrange it.

………………

At this time, Gao Shun, the general of Bingzhou, and Chenglian and Hou Cheng of Bingzhou joined forces.

Cheng Lian and Hou Cheng led 5,000 soldiers and horses, passed Bowang from Xi'e, and then detoured south, taking the official road of Bowang south to Wancheng, which was originally very smooth, but there was a little accident on the way, but they dragged it for several days.

Now we have arrived in the northern suburbs and joined Gaoshun, but it is too late.

Gao Shun was a little regretful.

A few days ago, he felt that the herdsmen had successfully entered Wancheng, and the large-scale soldiers and horses of the herdsmen entered Wancheng, so naturally they couldn't hide the scouts, and the herdsmen didn't want to hide him.

Wancheng, for today's Bingzhou army, is already difficult to capture, even if Lu Bu's main force goes south in person, I'm afraid there will not be much hope.

After all, the Bingzhou army is not very proficient in siege warfare, and the siege equipment is also very lacking.

What the state army is really proficient in is plain warfare.

"What now?" Cheng Lian stood by the river, looking into the distance, looking at the majestic Wancheng North City in the distance, and his eyes were gloomy.

"Hold on first!"

Gao Shun thought for a while and said, "I have already sent someone to urgently pass the news to the prince, whether to fight or withdraw, and the monarch still needs to decide in person!" ”

"If we fight, will we have a chance to take this city?"

"If it's just a little bit of soldiers and horses of the Guanzhong Army to defend the city, it will naturally be able to fight, if the herding army enters the city and sticks to the city, even if we double the troops, it will be difficult to help this city!" Gao Shun shook his head.

After thinking about it, he said again: "It's too careless, I thought that even if the Guanzhong Army didn't deal with us, we would still be in a formation after all, so even if they didn't let us into the city, they wouldn't give the city to the Mu Army. ”

"It's useless to talk about that now!" Hou Cheng has always been a cautious person, he was a little vigilant, and said: "Now that the herdsmen have taken Wancheng, will they not be satisfied with this, and even go out of the city to besiege and kill us?" ”

"It's not impossible!"

Gao Shun became cautious all of a sudden, he thought for a while: "It's better for us to give up the current camp and retreat ten miles successively, this terrain still seems a little dangerous, the left and right two openings are bandaged, we can block our way, as long as we avoid the siege of the left and right terrain, even if they have the intention to attack us, we can also ensure that the back road is continuous, can be attacked and accepted, advance and retreat freely!" ”

"That's a good idea!"

"It's right to be cautious, we don't have enough troops in the state army, and we can't make any mistakes!"

Cheng Lian and Hou Chengdu agreed.

Half an hour later, the main force of the Bingzhou army began to retreat, withdrew from the current camp, went straight to the back, withdrew almost a dozen miles of road, and camped down on a rocky beach by the Shushui River.

………………

"And the state army has withdrawn?" Although the pastoral army entered the city smoothly, the handover of defense was enough to be busy.

In fact, Xi Zhicai didn't think of using Wancheng to lure the Bingzhou army outside the city to join the party, but any action is risky, and it is easy to cause others to countercalculate.

Ten birds in the forest are better than one bird in hand.

The current Wancheng is very important to the strategic deployment core of the Minghou Mansion, and it cannot be missed.

So I'd rather lose this opportunity, and Xi Zhicai didn't want Nawancheng to be used as bait.

In addition, there is no need for the pastoral army to become mortal enemies with the state army.

It is not very important that Lu Bu can't get Nanyang, but if Lu Bu's forwards are annihilated here, then Nanyang is destined to be a bloody battlefield, an infernal hell.

This is not what the drama is willing to see.

It's not what the Minghou Mansion wants to see.

Let's put it this way, now that Wancheng is in hand, most of Nanyang is already in the Minghou Mansion, and no one wants to fight on their own territory, so it's best to drive them out and fight again.

Therefore, Huangfu Yin surrendered the city, and Xi Zhicai hurriedly took over Wancheng and said, as long as Wancheng is defended, this Nanyang, not to mention the state army, even if the main force in Guanzhong kills him, he is not afraid.

However, Xi Zhicai was busy with the matter of taking over the city, and he did not forget that in the northern suburbs, he also stationed this vanguard of the state army, and he deliberately wanted to calculate, the Zhanhu Battalion and the Wuxi Battalion had been marching for two consecutive days.

Give him a little more time, and if he can't annihilate it, he can at least hit it hard.

But I didn't expect it to be so soon, and the state army reacted and took the initiative to withdraw from the northern suburbs, so that the arrangement of the herdsmen was suddenly empty.

"Where did you evacuate?"

"On a rocky beach about ten miles away!"

"Where are the scouts staring first, when they meet their scouts, it doesn't hurt to fight a dozen, as for the main ......" Xi Zhi thought for a while, and hesitated to fight before they withdrew, but finally gave up this idea: "Let the Wuxi Battalion and the Zhanhu Battalion withdraw first!" ”

"No!"

The herald went and quickly went to give the order.

"The order is forbidden, after entering the city, Qiu will not commit any crimes!"

Huangfu Yin Shi Ran walked out of the inner hall, looked at Xi Zhicai, and said indifferently: "I finally understand where the combat effectiveness of the pastoral army comes from!" ”

"People all over the world say that the combat effectiveness of the pastoral army is strong, but the strongest thing in our pastoral army is not the combat effectiveness, but the discipline!" Xi Zhicai said proudly: "The military law of my pastoral army is as heavy as Mount Tai, even if the lord commits a crime, it cannot be pardoned, which has caused the strong combat effectiveness of my pastoral army!" ”

"Admire!"

Huangfu Yin said: "If you let the Guanzhong Army fight with you again, maybe it won't be the result of the year?" ”

"Then it depends on who will lead the troops!" Xi Zhicai said: "Huangfu Song personally led the troops, plus the strong battle of the Guanzhong Army, even if we pastorize, the chance of victory will not exceed fifty percent!" ”

"So look up to Huangfu Yizhen!"

"After all, I have suffered a loss!"

"That's right!" Huangfu Yin nodded: "Back in Wuguan, you played the princes of Guandong and the main force of Xiliang all over again, but they were planted in the hands of Huangfu Yizhen, and the Marquis of Ming almost died even the opportunity to make a comeback, and it is normal for you to be afraid of him!" ”

"What do you guess Huang Fu Song is thinking at this time?" Xi Zhicai asked.

"If I knew, I wouldn't have guarded the house for him and would have to be sold by him!" Huangfu Yin said bitterly.

"Whatever he wants to do, there will be news soon!"

Xi Zhicai said lightly.

……………………

The news of Nanyang was transmitted very quickly, and the situation here in Wancheng had already reached Lu Bu in front of him in a short time.

"No wonder he Zhang Wenyuan dared to give up his defense, it turned out that Wancheng had already arrived, and now it's not him who is in a hurry, but us, damn it!"

Lu Bu's face was a little gloomy.

This Huangfu Yin's defection caught him a little off guard.

To say that the Bingzhou Army and the Guanzhong Army, although they are not friendly, but they are finally eating in the same pot, it stands to reason that now the Bingzhou Army has not turned its face first, they were just stationed in Yuzhou before.

The key is that Huangfu Song didn't give them a chance to turn their faces, so they didn't have Huang Que behind, and they didn't send troops to Runan Shouchun to collect the benefits of fishermen, so there should still be a layer of cheek between them and the Guanzhong Army.

And he entered Nanyang this time, under the banner of aid, and it stands to reason that he and the Guanzhong Army are in the same group.

But on the contrary, the Huangfu seal was anti-water at this time.

"Huangfu Yin dares to take refuge in the pastoral army at this time, isn't he afraid that Huangfu Song will find him to settle accounts?" Song Xian didn't understand this point, so he asked Lu Bu: "Even Huangfu Song himself can't explain it!" ”

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid they haven't thought to explain at all!"

Lu Bu said gloomily: "Guan Zhongjun has been forced to this part, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have any ideas, at this time, Huangfu Song may not care about Taishi's thoughts!" ”

"He's going to turn around?" Cao Xing led the army to meet Lu Bu yesterday evening, he stood on Lu Bu's left side, his expression was not very good-looking, compared to Song Xian's generals, he was still a resourceful general, thinking a little more.

"I don't know!"

Lu Bu shook his head and sighed: "What does Huangfu Song think, then there is a master to worry about, but now we have been put into Nanyang here, and it is difficult to advance and retreat!" ”

"Junhou, something is wrong......

A fast horse rushed in from Yuzhou Erlang, this soldier gasped for breath.

"What's going on?"

"Yuzhou, Yuzhou ......" The soldier calmed down for a long time before he calmed down, and the report said: "The herdsmen have attacked Yuzhou, our soldiers who stayed in Yuzhou, Xuxian have been defeated, and Yingchuan's may not be able to stop for a long time?" ”

"How many troops do they have?"

"Not much, about one battalion, at most five thousand soldiers and horses, but the surprise attack is very fast, and we don't have time to defend at all!"

"Zhang Wenyuan has already divided his troops in Runan!" Lu Bu suddenly figured it out: "He thinks so far, first entangle us in Nanyang, and then surprise attack Yuzhou, so that we can't take care of both ends!" ”

"So what are we going to do now?"

"I'll think about it!"

Lu Bu paced back and forth, his thoughts a little irritable.

Give up Nanyang, unwilling?

But Yuzhou can't ignore it, Yuzhou, which they finally won't take, is much more important than Nanyang, even if the pastoral army can't hold Yuzhou in the end, their army can go in to show off their might, and they can turn Yuzhou upside down.
