Li Dao and Guo Yan, who had just come out of Hangu Pass, soon saw the Kwantung coalition army that had been waiting for a long time.

In fact, it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is the Kwantung Alliance, after all, there are many princes in Kwantung, and Yan Shao and Cao Cao are just two of them, and it is difficult to represent all the princes of Kwantung.

Trapped in Hangu Pass for so long, Li Wei was about to be blown up, and Guo Yan's mood was definitely not good, and now seeing that the culprit was in front of him and others, he immediately sent troops to attack. The first to rush forward was the soldiers and horses of Guo Yan's department, about 4,000 people. This time, in order to catch up with the Son of Heaven quickly, they did not waste time playing any fighting links, but attacked directly.

In fact, this will be the case, and it is also somewhat related to what happened in Hangu Pass before. When Hangu Pass, how powerful Zhao Yun and Xiahoudun were, these people from the Xiliang Army all saw it. If Xiahoudun and they are still a little sure, Zhao Yun is really not at all. Back then, they were able to drive Lu Bu out of Chang'an City, but they also relied on the strength of the crowd, but no fool dared to fight Lu Bu alone.

More than thousands of Xiliang troops set up a formation, with shields in front and spears behind, taking some loose steps towards the Qingzhou army and Yanzhou army on the opposite side.

"Meng De, I'll leave this to you to solve..."Looking at the Xiliang infantry army striding forward, Yan Shao smiled at Cao Cao next to him.

"You..." Cao Cao also smiled helplessly, and the horsewhip lightly slapped his palm. Anyway, who let me be the only one to bring some infantry this time..."Saying that, Cao Cao looked at Yu Ban on the side, this time Cao Cao also brought a considerable part of his strength in order to successfully rescue the Son of Heaven. Especially the fierce generals under the account, they brought out half of them, and this time the one in charge of commanding the infantry was Yu Ban, who ranked first among the generals with foreign surnames.

Yu Ban was already very good at using soldiers, and after defecting to Cao Cao, he made a lot of contributions, making Cao Cao quite dependent on him. Now seeing Cao Cao's movements, Yu Ban immediately rode forward and conveyed the order.

The Yanzhou army, which received the order, soon began to move forward. This kind of posture that clearly wants to do it made Li Dao stunned for a moment.

"These guys from Kanto are so bold, but with such a small number of soldiers and horses, they dare to take the initiative to attack?"

In his opinion, Cao Cao and Yan Shao did not bring many soldiers and horses this time, only one-sixth or seventh of him, no matter how elite such soldiers and horses were, the only way to face such a large advantage of the enemy army was to obediently shrink in the camp to defend this road. At least in the camp, you can rely on the fortifications in the camp or the terrain to defend, and in the field, it is obviously more beneficial to the Xiliang army.

Not only Li Dao, but even Guo Yan thinks so.

Unlike them, Jia Xu next to him was so able to understand Yan Shao and Cao Cao's decision better.

Shrinking into the camp is certainly a way to take advantage of the camp itself, but it is also equivalent to trapping yourself in the camp. This can delay the Son of Heaven for some more time, but it is also quite dangerous, if Li Dao and Guo Yan have a little patience and firmly besiege the camp, wouldn't it be equivalent to being surrounded? Moreover, this rescue of the Son of Heaven was a long-distance march, and if he didn't bring too much food and grass, if the siege was too long, it would be easy to fall into a desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food.

It's good if you can break through in the end, but if you don't succeed...

I'm afraid that there is a danger of total annihilation...

Since this is the case, it is better to fight directly in the field, although there is no location of the camp, and if you can't fight, it's still no problem to run.

Moreover, the Xiliang Army has been lacking in training over the years, its own quality has declined very seriously, and its combat effectiveness is no longer what it used to be.

Sure enough, everything was just as Jia Xu expected, the two soldiers and horses had just touched together, and the side of the Xiliang army fell into disadvantage.

Among the generals under Cao Cao's command, the generals with the surname Xiahoudun are the head, which is not surprising, because Xiahoudun is at the helm of the Xiahou family.

Maybe in terms of fame, Xiahou Yuan is bigger than Xiahou Yuan, and his ability to command troops is also stronger, but Xiahou Yuan's status is there after all, and he is the only one who can be directly called Cao Cao Mengde in the Cao army. The other Cao Ren and others are certainly fierce generals who are good at fighting, but they can't talk about status.

However, unlike generals with inner surnames, who also need to look at seniority, generals with foreign surnames really have to look at their skills and military exploits.

Among the generals with the foreign surname of Cao Jun, Yu Ban was the leader. Yu Ban's skills and qualifications are far stronger than other Cao army generals, and Yu Ban himself is also very good at training, and a considerable part of Cao Jun's soldiers and horses are trained by Yu Ban himself. Cao's army does not have many troops, after the perennial war, there is no way to recruit troops on a large scale like Jizhou or Xuzhou, and the only way to enhance their own strength is to train all the small number of troops in their hands into elite soldiers, which is also the only way.

Obviously, the soldiers and horses trained by Yu Ban were far stronger than the Xiliang army on the opposite side in the battlefield valley.

The Xiliang Army has not been trained for a long time, and the once well-trained has long been a thing of the past, and now there is not much left except for the bravery on the battlefield. It's good to run into those rabble, and you can defeat each other with your own bravery. But now it is different, the Cao army on the opposite side is also brave, and the generals of the Cao army in charge of the boy army are also extraordinary, and it is natural that the Xiliang army will be suppressed under the same number.

"Fuxian, it's up to you this time, right?"

The form on the battlefield was really not beyond Cao Cao's expectations, watching Yu Ban lead the troops in front to suppress the soldiers and horses of the Xiliang Army, Cao Cao smiled at Yan Shao and smiled.

Among the two coalition forces, only Cao Cao led the infantry army, so Cao Cao must be responsible for this first battle, after all, the cavalry is not good at charging head-on, so even if the other party is successfully defeated in the end, its own casualties will be amazing, but now the opposite infantry army has been entangled, and the cavalry can go into battle.

Yan Shao didn't shirk either, the two joined forces, and it was impossible to really hand over all the work to each other, and hide by himself.

After making sure that the Xiliang army on the opposite side was really suppressed, Yan Shao also nodded to Sun Guan next to him.

After receiving Yan Shao's order, Sun Guan immediately led the cavalry under his command to rush up from the flank, wanting to take advantage of the gap when the Xiliang army was suppressed and defeat it from the flank, so that these thousands of Xiliang troops would be no different from the meat on the chopping block.

However, how stupid should Li Dao and Guo Yan on the other side be to allow Yan Shao to defeat his infantry with cavalry?

Even if it was just the vanguard they sent out, Li Dao couldn't have watched these soldiers and horses being slaughtered, right?

Almost when the Qingzhou cavalry was about to touch the flank of the thousands of infantry troops, they saw that the same thousands of cavalry had rushed up, and the number of these cavalry troops was even more than Yan Shao's Qingzhou cavalry, enough for more than 5,000. followed by a group of nearly 10,000 Xiliang infantry troops, all of which were drawn out by Li Dao and Guo Yan.

By the time all these soldiers and horses appeared, there were more than 30,000 soldiers and horses on the field, including more than 20,000 in the Xiliang army alone, and more than 10,000 in Yan Shao's Qingzhou army and Cao Cao's Yanzhou army, and the strength on the battlefield reached 2:1. Li Dao and Guo Yan would invest so many troops so decisively, which was somewhat unexpected by Yan Shao and Cao Cao. In their opinion, it should be tentative at first, to test each other's strength, but they didn't expect that the opposite side immediately threw out some of the hole cards in their hands after a little temptation, which caught them off guard.

"Hahaha..." didn't even need to look at the situation on the other side, Li Dao could imagine what Yan Shao and Cao Cao on the other side would be. Mr. is right, it is expected to be so tempting to test and try, so it is better to push the troops up directly, our forces already have an advantage, so why bother to use a short attack to long? ”

But not long ago, when Li Dao and Guo Yan were still thinking about whether to do more temptations, Jia Xu suggested it directly next to him.

The previous more than 4,000 people have already tested very clearly, with the same strength, the Xiliang Army is not the opponent of the Kanto soldiers and horses on the opposite side, since this is the case, there is no need to continue to try. Directly pressing the whole army and giving full play to its own superiority in strength is the right way.

Now it has been directly pushed up with almost 20,000 troops, and sure enough, it is fighting with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses on the opposite side.

The Kwantung soldiers and horses on the opposite side are elite, but there are many people on their side, especially the Xiliang cavalry. Over the years, the Xiliang Army has indeed been scattered a lot, but the cavalry is different, the cavalry does not have high requirements for tactics that require long-term training and running-in such as battle formations, after all, you can't require the war horse to really obey the order as completely as a person, so the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is mainly in the cavalry itself, horsemanship, war horses and equipment.

For example, equipment, that is, armor and weapons, the better your armor and weapons, the more powerful they are. There is also a war horse, if you are riding the kind of high-headed horse, and the opposite war horse is a head lower than you, you can imagine how big your advantage will be, not only in speed, but more importantly, such a big difference, which can make you condescending to deal with the opponent. As for horsemanship, if the cavalry can't even ride, then it's...

And the strength of the cavalry itself can be regarded as a very important part of the cavalry's combat effectiveness.

The Xiliang Army itself is actually still very elite, after all, the Xiliang Army back then was known for its combat effectiveness.

These years of desertion is deserted, but the most deserted is actually the infantry army, the cavalry is not very deserted, on the one hand, they do not need to do those battle formations and other aspects of training, on the other hand, the Xiliang army's food collection, in most cases, they are needed to get it, and the time for desertion is much less than that of the infantry army.

In terms of the elite level of the cavalry, the Xiliang cavalry is similar to the Qingzhou cavalry, but it is slightly inferior in equipment.

"It's a pity, if the rest of our soldiers and horses come out, we will definitely be able to teach these two guys a lesson..."

Looking at the stalemate on the battlefield, Guo Yan said with some regret.

"Those who are unsatisfactory in life, nine times out of ten, this is also something that cannot be helped, not to mention that the remaining soldiers and horses will not be able to come out of Hangu Pass in a short time, why should the general be anxious..."

Since the whole army was already pressing, this time they brought more than 60,000 to 70,000 people, how could they only let more than 20,000 people go into battle? It's not that they don't want to, it's that they don't have it. You must know that Hangu Pass is a rather narrow place, it is impossible to let so many troops pass through so quickly, this time it was Li Dao and Guo Yan who held their breath to let the soldiers and horses under their hands pass more than 20,000 people so quickly.

Originally, in their plan, Yan Shao and Cao Cao should be by the side of the Son of Heaven at this time, responsible for protecting the Son of Heaven, and their task is to catch up all the way after leaving Hangu Pass, bite tightly, prevent them from running, and at the same time create time for the remaining soldiers and horses to catch up. But who knew that Yan Shao and they were uneasy about common sense, and they were stationed directly near the exit of Hangu Pass, just waiting for them.

In this way, it is almost impossible to count on the scene of tens of thousands of troops together, but the two of them have quite confidence in the soldiers and horses under their hands.

Almost when Yan Shao and Cao Cao were leading the army to fight a bloody battle with the Xiliang army, they were in the direction of Luoyang in the distance, and Liu Xie also made his own decision.

"Go to Luoyang..."

Looking at Yang Biao, Yang Feng and others, who were standing respectfully next to the carriage, Liu Xie solemnly said his decision.

Hearing this decision, everyone present was taken aback, and soon a minister admonished. "But Your Majesty, didn't General Yan and General Cao already say that Luoyang has been burned, it is just a ruin, there are not many people living in it at all, and even the gates of the city have been burned down, it is useless for us to go now, there are not enough supplies there..."

The other ministers also admonished one after another, but hearing their words, Liu Xie did shake his head.

"Luoyang is indeed deserted, but it is the mausoleum of the emperors of my Han Dynasty, I escaped this time, thanks to the blessing of my ancestors, how can I not go to worship when I pass by Luoyang this time, if I let the people of the world know, I am afraid I will also laugh at me..."

What's more, if the Han family wants to be revived, it needs countless loyal ministers and fierce generals...

Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, if Liu Xie can't do this himself, how can he ask others to do it?

So for Liu Xie, Luoyang can be said to be a place that must be visited.

"Don't worry..."Seeing the hesitation of the ministers, Liu Xie said with a smile.

"I won't stay in Luoyang for too long, as long as I finish worshipping my ancestors, I will leave there as soon as possible. Besides, isn't there Yan Aiqing and Cao Aiqing in front now, there won't be any problems..."
