Pang Tong's heart sank, Kuai Liang was a famous strategist around Liu Biao, he should have seen through his mind at this moment, he had to jump out of this person's ideological concept and suppress him. Pang Tong breathed a sigh of relief and said lightly: "Don't you really understand people's hearts? I am here to understand the siege of Luoyang. The three counties have the idea of hegemony, otherwise what is the use of Luoyang? Today, why don't Lord Liu break through Cai Xuan, occupy his Nanyang County, and then get the land of Luoyang and Chang'an, and stabilize the north. My Luoyang City is a gift to adults, and I hope to reuse it in the future. ”

Kuai Liang was speechless by him, and he had nothing to ask, so he had to nod to Liu Biao. Liu Biao said happily: "Since the huge people are willing to sacrifice Luoyang, we will have you a share of the credit for the hegemony in the future." ”

He immediately ordered the military attache Cai Mao to raise 80,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters and go north. The three armies were mighty, and after passing through the territory of Wancheng, they took the official road to the north, and entered Xuanyang County in only six days. At this time, the soldiers and horses of the three counties surrounded Luoyang, wanting to wait for the autumn harvest to cut all the rice outside the city, so that the city was empty and the people changed. Unexpectedly, Hongnong County urgently reported that Liu Biao was marching, and Cai Xuan immediately led 100,000 troops and horses to retreat, leaving the two forces stationed outside Luoyang City, not daring to move.

Cai Mao led the army to directly attack the south gate of Xuanyang City, Pang Tong watched the battle from a distance, and saw that there were not many soldiers in the city, so he pinched his fingers and calculated that he would not be able to resist for long. Pang Tong said to Cai Mao that he would go to Luoyang to invite troops, and he should cooperate with the outside and take Sizhou after breaking the soldiers and horses of the three counties. He rode east with Dian Wei and Lu Su, and asked people about the situation in Luoyang when they saw them on the way. It was learned that Guo Yuan's men and horses were stationed twenty miles north of the city, and Wang Kuang's men and horses were stationed thirty miles outside the east gate. And they went straight to the west gate. When the people in the city saw that it was Pang Tong, they immediately opened the door and let him in. At this time, it was late at night, but Lu Bu did not sleep, and he had been reviewing the changing of the guard in the city. Pang Tong arrived in the mansion and ordered everyone to be summoned. Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Jiang Wan, Lu Su, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Zang Ba, Zhang Liao, all his civil and military officials were present, and after seeing everyone, Pang Tong would tell Liu Biao about it.

Lu Bu was stunned and said: "How can you give Luoyang to others, then Liu Biao is not a sage!" ”

Jiang Wan smiled and said, "Lord Lu, don't panic, a huge person is not a stupid person. ”

Pang Tong said happily on the high seat: "This is an emergency plan, the current three forces, Cai Xuan, who has the most people, has gone, and the remaining two parties are really a trivial matter." It was just early in the night, and an hour later, Gao Shun led a thousand horsemen with torches in a column, went out from the south gate, and walked towards the tiger prison. Then he gave instructions on everything else to be done, and everyone took the order.

An hour later, the Gaoshun cavalry left the city and galloped all the way to the east. Because of the formation, from a distance it looks like a large army carrying torches. When Wang Kuang's men and horses reported back, Wang Kuang was shocked, fearing that the cities in Henan County would be lost, so he immediately withdrew from the village and left.

After Guo Yuan learned about this in the camp, he thought to himself: "Luoyang City is not something that my family can fight, and now that the two groups of them have run away, I am afraid that I will lose more than I gain here." He ordered the village to be pulled out and left.

Wang Kuang's three armies had already begun to march towards the Tiger Prison Pass, and as soon as they walked a mile, they saw a row of torches moving in front of them, and it seemed that there were thousands of troops. In fact, it was Gao Shun who led a thousand cavalry to change the formation into a row, so it looked like an army of more than 100,000 was marching.

Wang Kuang personally rode his horse to the front to take a look, and was even more shocked, and said to the left and right: "Where did this man and horse come from?" There was no one to answer. He swallowed, his doubts in his heart. At this time, the drums on the city wall of Luoyang shook the sky, the east gate was wide open, and the cavalry galloped out in front. Wang Kuang's men and horses were in a mess, not knowing the east, west, north and south, and when he reacted, the cavalry of Luoyang City was only ten miles away. He was terrified when he saw the pressure of the army to the east and the rear army to the west. For a while, there was no rule, so I had to deal with the men and horses in the east, but the west was attacked first. It was the 10,000 tiger cavalry led by Lu Bu, which was very fierce, tearing apart Wang Kuanghou's army and killing no armor.

On the other side, Guo Yuan's men and horses in the north of Luoyang City were packing up their baggage and other things, and suddenly heard the drums in the southeast for some reason. Guo Yuan thought to himself: "Could it be that Wang Kuang was robbed and killed, then should I go to rescue him now, or should I go?" ”

Just thinking about it, someone came to report: "My lord, the north gate of Luoyang City has opened, and a large number of people have left the city." ”

Guo Yuanyi smiled when he heard this, and said: "Are the people in Luoyang brained, they dare to make enemies on both sides, stabilize me, and start a formation towards the south." ”

When the 60,000 people of Guo Yuan's third army set up their formation, the 10,000 tiger army led by Zhao Yun had already been killed, and the first collision disrupted Guo Yuan's formation. I saw Guo Yuan commanding in the Chinese army: "Steady! Encircle them! "But who can hear the chaos.

Suddenly, a group of shadow-like objects ran over on the west side of Guo Yuan's army, shaking the ground. Guo Yuan's men held torches aloft and only noticed when they approached. It was the 5,000 infantry led by Dian Wei, who quietly came out of the West Gate, made a big detour, and laid an ambush five miles away. As soon as the war drums sounded, Zhao Yun's cavalry arrived first, and they attacked from the side. At this time, the front army of Guo's reinforcements was in chaos, the Chinese army was attacked, and the rear army had even abandoned and escaped. Guo Yuan was miserable in the Chinese army.

The cavalry led by Na Lu Bu rushed to kill 50,000 Wang Kuang's men and horses, and the rear army was scattered, the Chinese army was defeated, and the front army was still waiting for the row of torches to arrive, but unexpectedly, the row of torches gathered together and became a group. A thousand cavalry crashed into the front line like a fireball. At this time, the 20,000 infantry who had already come out of the south gate and ambushed on the south side of Wang Kuang's army began to charge, blocked the waist and slaughtered into the Chinese army, merged with Lu Bu, and charged the front army. Within half an hour, Wang Kuang's army scattered and fled, with more than 30,000 dead, only Wang Kuang led a few cavalry to rush out of the formation and fled in the night.

Guo Yuanjun on the other side was also beaten and had no power to resist, but unfortunately Guo Yuan did not escape. Zhao Yun stared at his well-equipped equipment, led the cavalry into the Chinese army, and said loudly: "Guo Yuan will surrender early!" ”

Guo Yuan was frightened, and was just about to cut with his sword, but was stabbed off his horse by Zhao Yun, and the rest of the people abandoned their weapons and surrendered. The battle between the two sides was a great victory, and the Luoyang army received countless baggage, horses, and weapons. After entering the city, Pang Tong ordered the prisoners to be treated, and collected more than 30,000 soldiers and horses from both sides. Pang Tong held a banquet in the government to entertain the meritorious generals. But it's a non-stop thing. After the feast, everyone immediately regrouped their troops and horses, rested for four hours, and set out after a full meal on the fifth watch. 40,000 of the 50,000 cavalry of Pang Tong's army were dispatched, Pang Tong and Lü Bu led 20,000 cavalry to Xuanyang City in the west, and Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Jiang Wan led 20,000 cavalry to the east out of the Tiger Prison Pass, and then marched to Huai County in the north.

When he arrived at the county seat, Wang Kuang's headquarters, who had just surrendered, was in front of him, and the people in the city immediately opened the door when they saw that they were all their own people. The cavalry all entered the city, and the defenders were only more than 1,000, and they were distributed at the four city gates. Zhao Yun said loudly: "Wang Kuang is dead, you wait for the early surrender!" Seeing that the city guards saw that they were so powerful, they all abandoned their weapons and knelt, and the county commander Zheng Tongzhi also took the whole family to kneel at the gate of the county office. Jiang Wan was in the name of Pang Tong, and he had no offense with the people, and Zhang Bang informed. And still use Zheng Tong as the county order.

At this time, Wang Kuang fled all the way east to Yanjin County, and then went north to Chaoge County, the seat of Henan County.

Pang Tong and others led the troops to the foot of the mountain thirty miles east of Xuanyang City, and secretly stationed there, waiting for two days and two nights, and from time to time there were horse explorations to return. The last cavalry returned, Cai Mao's army had been defeated, and Cai Xuan led the victorious soldiers to chase and kill fifty miles away. When Pang Tong heard this, he immediately led his troops away, but he did not attack the city directly to the west. Pang Tong's army marched to the southwest and ambushed in the woodland. Pang Tong looked at the calm field, and after half an hour the torch light flickered on the field, it was a man from the south. Pang Tong took a deep breath and said, "The big thing is here. ”

The soldiers had smiles on their faces, because they had just defeated Cai Mao's army. They were not in line because they were too close to the city. They weren't wary because they didn't think anyone would be here. However, the matter unfolded under the black curtain, and the group of cavalry shook the earth, and Cai Xuan's army was shocked.

Lu Bu was in front, and the horsemen were indomitable, sprinting back and forth in the enemy formation. Cai Xuan saw that the army was in chaos and the enemy army was killing in the dark, and he didn't know the number at all, so he had to go out alone and flee to the north. He had only traveled a mile when he saw a platoon of cavalry numbering in the hundreds, and when he saw him coming, he rushed over. Cai Xuan was shocked, and when he saw the corpses of his own deserters in front of him, he knew that he would not flee to the city. He hurriedly turned around, but the cavalry in the rear had already arrived, and he only heard a voice: "Those who offend me will be punished!" "It's a pity that it wasn't Pang Tong who cut it himself, because there was a horse fast, he got ahead of him and stabbed Cai Xuan off the horse with one shot. Pang Tongle stopped fighting horses, and when he saw this person's golden helmet and golden armor, he knew that he must be a general. He hurriedly went down to take a look, and stabbed him in the back, and the golden armor was red and bleeding. He asked, "Are you Cai Xuan?" Don't lie to me. Cai Xuan's expression stiffened and squeezed out a smile, and said: "If the eldest husband does not change his name, he will not change his surname, and if he falls into the hands of you, this villain, is also my Cai Xuan's fate." ”

Pang Tong sighed: "Life and death are fateful, no matter how well you dress, it's useless." You have lost too much blood, and when you die, I will give you a good time. He raised his sword and said, "Cai Taishou, I am Pang Tong." Cai Xuan showed a relieved expression when he heard this, and closed his eyes. Pang Tong personally cut off his head with a sword. He didn't know when he began to be so decisive about life and death, and killing. He once told himself, "I have only righteousness in my heart." ”

Pang Tong ordered people to take Cai Xuan's head into the enemy formation, charging all the way, shouting: "Cai Xuan has been killed!" In this way, those who wanted to fight to the death felt that there was no point in running away and surrendering.

Under the evening breeze of early autumn, as many as 60,000 people surrendered. Pang Tong ordered some of the surrenderers to go ahead, and when they arrived at Xuanyang City, they called for opening the city gate, and after entering the city, they held Cai Xuan's head high. Who knew that a few loyal generals who defended the city jumped directly from the city wall and fell to their deaths. Pang Tong took pity on their loyalty and ordered them to be buried outside the city. Everyone else surrendered.

The danger of the siege of the three counties was to be ruined under the strategy of Pang Tong. Not only that, Pang Tong also took this opportunity to counterattack the opponent, annihilate the main force, and behead Taishou. It's a calculation within a calculation. And Pang Tong didn't stop, and sent a letter to Guguan. Lu Buxi hit Hongnong County, Pang Tong attacked Anyi County in the north, because after killing Cai Xuan, he got his soldiers in Xuanyang County, Hongnong County Defending the City General saw his own soldiers to open the city gate, more than 1,000 guards in the city, all surrendered. The defenders of Anyi County also saw Guo Yuan's soldiers and their own horses before they opened the city gate, who expected that it was the people of Pang Tongjun, and the people who defended the city were heartfelt, and they were outnumbered after leading the troops to kill, and they were almost completely destroyed. In the north of Anyi County, the city of Pingyang County, Taishou Guo Pei had already discovered the military situation and could not hold out, but there were only more than 2,000 soldiers in the city.

Pang led 10,000 cavalry to the south of the city and muttered: "Guo Pei is Guo Yuan's clansman, and it seems that he will not abandon the city easily, and it is not cost-effective for us to attack strongly." And the cavalry does the things of the infantry, and the loss of troops will inevitably be lost. I was very thoughtful. While laughing, he saw that there were many archers on the wall, Pang Tong was not afraid, and ordered some old and young women and children to push in front of the army.
