"Lord, the scouts report that there are 30,000 cavalry coming from the south."

"My lord, the gate of Binyang County is wide open, and more than 10,000 infantry rush out!"

"Lord, Luoshui seems to be moving, and it has not yet been found out what force it is."

Scouts appeared in front of Xiang Ao one after another, reporting on the current situation. Why was it suddenly surrounded? Xiang Ao thought to himself, his face darkened.

"Lord, Dong Thief launched a surprise attack late at night, our army does not know the enemy's situation, and we need to choose the direction to retreat immediately!" Zhao Yun clenched his fists and said with a slightly anxious expression.

Seeing Xiang Ao's hesitation, Han Hao also hit his horse and came to Xiang Ao to hold his fists: "General, it's too dark, Dong Thief is prepared, and the last general thinks that he can fight only after retreating first to see the enemy's situation!" ”

"Lord, it's not good!" Without waiting for Xiang Ao to think clearly and make a decision, Dian Wei hurried over and shouted recklessly: "I don't know why, our army is running out of food and grass!" ”

"Rubbish!" Xiang Ao was angry and shouted at Dian Wei: "Who is the one who guards the grain and grass?" Military disposition! ”

Zhao Yun saw that Xiang Ao was a little out of shape, so he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "Lord, the guards of the grain and grass are recruits recruited from Hanoi. Dong thieves are prepared for a sneak attack, and it is difficult to guard against the estimated recruits. Now it seems that the lord still ordered to retreat first, and then move west after seeing the situation clearly. ”

Xiang Ao took a few deep breaths, tried his best to calm down, and after thinking for a moment, Xiang Ao's face turned ruthless, and he ordered to the group of soldiers: "Order the whole army to immediately break north and attack Pinyang!" There are also additional scouts to find out the military situation in Luoshui, and I want to see who dares to cut off the general's back road. ”

"No!" When the generals heard this, they were relieved and hurriedly took the order. In the current situation, only the situation in the north is clearer, and there are only more than 10,000 infantry. Moreover, the defenders went out of the city, which also gave Xiang Ao and the others the opportunity to easily capture Pinyang, although Xiang Ao was angry, he also made the most sensible decision.

With the more and more obvious rumbling sound under their feet, the army of more than 40,000 turned around and ran towards the north of Pinyang.

"Wait a minute, quickly follow the army and retreat north!" The sharp-eyed Dian Wei, who swept to the hundreds of soldiers and horses at the end of the army at a glance, seemed to intend to separate from the army and head south.

Zhao Yun's eyes widened when he heard the prestige, and he exclaimed at Xiang Ao: "Lord, it's Zhang Liao!" Lu Bu's general! ”

"Zhang Liao?!" Xiang Ao was stunned, and then couldn't stop roaring angrily in his heart: "Zhang Wenyuan, where to escape!" ”

After shouting, Xiang Ao immediately ordered Dian Wei beside him, and led hundreds of relatives to chase after Zhang Liao.

"Drive!" Seeing that the situation was wrong, Zhang Liao put away his obscene and fled posture, and shouted loudly: "Flee separately and join the main soldiers and horses!" ”

In a moment, hundreds of cavalry scattered in an instant, rushing towards the south, and Zhang Liao, who was being targeted, was already covered with cold sweat at this time. Although Zhang Liao is brave, he thinks that he can't hold out for many rounds against several fierce generals under the command of Xiang Ao. Even if Xiang Ao remembers his old feelings and will not kill himself, if he is captured by Xiang Ao, I am afraid it will be difficult to meet the lord again.

Zhang Liao thought so, and urged hard to boast and flee south. Dian Wei was already guilty, and coupled with his failure to save food and grass, Dian Wei was ashamed and angry. Now that he has seen the person in charge, how could Dian Wei let Zhang Liao escape? Dian Wei didn't wait for Xiang Ao's guards to follow, and shouted angrily, urging the horse to chase after him.

"Yuan Hei, Zilong, immediately capture Pinyang,

Ben will be broken! ”

"No!" Even if Xiang Ao was a little dangerous after his break, Zhao Yun and Han Hao knew that this was not the time to delay, so they led their soldiers and horses to rush towards the more than 10,000 Pinyang infantry ten miles away.

Dian Wei bit Zhang Liao and kept chasing for more than ten miles. The sky was bright, and between the plain and the sky, a black line that spread for miles appeared in Dian Wei's field of vision. And state iron riding! Seeing the big word "Lu" on the soldiers and horses and the flag, Dian Wei secretly exclaimed. Looking at Zhang Liao who was fleeing in front of him, Dian Wei shouted helplessly and angrily, urged the horse to turn around, and went in the direction of the army.

came and went, and Xiang Ao and others originally thought that it would take several days to attack the city, but under the "coincidence", it was effortless. However, when Xiang Ao and the others captured Pinyang and entered Pinyang City, Xiang Ao's face turned even darker.

Dong Zhuo didn't even leave a grain of grain in Pinyang City, not even the inferior forage for raising horses. Most of the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses who were easily defeated by Xiang Ao's army were also old and weak, but Xiang Ao didn't know the situation in Pinyang and contained the defeated Pinyang defenders. What made Xiang Ao even more anxious was that there were still more than 50,000 people in Pinyang City.

Xiang Ao realized that he had been calculated by Dong Zhuo, and he was ruthlessly calculated.

A county town that is not as good as the Linrong of Shuo Fangzhi, but it is full of nearly 100,000 people, except for a little grain and grass rescued from the fire, how to get by?

After dawn, inside Pinyang City.

"My lord, the soldiers and horses in the west have been discovered."

"Who?"

"Qiang cavalry, about 30,000!"

Xiang Ao slammed into front of him, and broke off with a few responses. "The thief Dong Zhuo actually colluded with the Qiang people!" Xiang Ao shouted angrily, and the raging flames in his eyes were more violent than those calculated by Dong Zhuo before.

At this time, even Zhao Yun, Han Hao and others did not come forward to persuade Xiang Ao, in the hearts of everyone, the Han was surrounded by barbarians. In order to protect himself, Dong Zhuo actually joined forces with the Qiang people, and even allowed the Qiang people to enter the territory of the hinterland of the Han Dynasty.

"How is Dong Jun outside the city?" Xiang Ao suppressed his anger and continued to ask with a dark face.

The scout was frightened by the furious Xiang Ao, and replied worriedly: "My lord, Lu Bu led 20,000 Bingzhou iron cavalry, 10,000 Xiliang elites, and more than 30,000 regular soldiers and horses to camp twenty miles outside the city. The Qiang cavalry in the east is also approaching Pinyang, and our scouts have been forced back to within five miles of Pinyang City, unable to explore outside. ”

"Dong Zhuo's intentions are already clear!" Xiang Ao was displeased, and ordered someone to take out the map, spread it on the high table in the mansion, and said to everyone: "Pinyang is bordered by the plateau in the west, Luoshui in the east, and besieged by Lu Bu in the south. ”

Zhao Yun frowned deeply, and said worriedly: "If there is still grain and grass in the city, maybe you can still stalemate with Dong Thief, or even attack." But now our army is running out of food and grass, my lord..."

"Zilong, don't panic for the time being!" Xiang Ao, who had already calmed down, was furious, and said very calmly: "Don't worry about the time of grain and grass, there are officials and businessmen in the Northern Region in Pinyang City, and there is a little bit of hiding." ”

When Han Hao heard this, he was shocked, Xiang Ao had stretched out his hand so far? Si Li has a Northern Territory force?

"Yuan Hei thinks badly!" Xiang Ao saw Han Hao's shocked expression, and said with a wry smile: "It's just a businessman, there are different secret reserves of grain and grass in various places. However, it can only solve the immediate need. Awe, to the generals

Say how much grain and grass our army still has. ”

Dian Wei stepped forward with a calm face and said to a group of generals of different sizes: "There are not many people saved in the fire, only more than 10,000 stone of coarse grain, plus the grain and grass secretly stored by officials and merchants, the total is only 30,000 stone of grain. If you want to maintain the combat strength of the soldiers, plus the cost of war horses and the livelihood of the people in the city, it will take up to half a month. ”

The generals thought that the remaining baggage could last three or five days, and they didn't want to have two or three times as much time. In such a dangerous situation, most of the generals believed that Xiang Ao could get along with each other in more than ten days.

"Forcing a breakout is no longer advisable. Yet..."Xiang Ao pointed to Deng County and Shangluo and said: "Lu Bu took away Dong Zhuo's tens of thousands of elites, and the pressure on Deng County, which is against General Cao, and Shangluo, who is against General Sun, will definitely be reduced a lot, and I plan to hold on for ten days and wait for Dong Zhuo to deal with it." If Deng Xian and Shang Yu still fail to achieve results, we can also try to break through in the remaining days. ”

In such a dilemma, the generals under Xiang Ao did not know how to make a decision, since Xiang Ao had already decided, the generals did not object, and left to deal with military affairs according to Xiang Ao's arrangement.

After everyone left, Xiang Ao looked at the map with a calm face alone. At this time, Xiang Ao had some regrets, regretting that he had not brought Xu Shu and Xi Zhong; regretted that he was eager for quick success and fell into Dong Zhuo's trap. Although Xiang Ao was extremely confident and determined in front of the generals, Xiang Ao knew that it was so simple to break out of the encirclement of Lu Bu?

Even if he ignored the people in the city and led more than 40,000 soldiers and horses to break through alone, Xiang Ao did not have full confidence in the tens of thousands of Bingzhou and Xiliang elites led by Shanglu Bu. Moreover, there are tens of thousands of Qiang cavalry in Luoshui in the east, although the Qiang people are not rich in armor, but the Qiang people are like the Xiongnu in the past, most of them are born warriors, and they can kill people on horses. Xiang Ao didn't want his elite to be consumed like this.

Xiang Ao's vision slowly moved towards the east of Luoshui, and in the area of Linfen occupied by Bai Bo, Xiang Ao stopped his gaze and stared at Linfen with flickering eyes.

Outside the city of Pinyang, Lu Bu barracks.

"The military told you to besiege it. After the grain and grass of the Zhenguo Gong are exhausted, we can capture the Zhenguo Gong alive and hand it over to the Taishi. ”

Lu Bu paced back and forth, a little uneasy, "Wen Yuan plans to follow the military strategy? ”

"Why not?" Zhang Liao was puzzled for a while: "There is no grain and grass in Pinyang City, and the Duke of Zhenguo has won the hearts of the people in the Northern Regions, how can he leave the people alone." In this way, how long can Zhenguo Gong last on the already small amount of grain and grass? ”

Lu Bu turned his head to look at Zhang Liao, sighed and said, "Wen Yuan, do you remember that Feng Yuan talked to Ben Hou under Luoyang City?" As soon as Lu Bu asked, Zhang Liao knew what kind of mentality Lu Bu was at this time. Although Lu Bu has no great wisdom, he is a foolish and loyal Han family that Zhang Liao admires, and he attaches great importance to love and righteousness. Before Luoyang City, Xiang Ao excused Lu Bu from the evil deeds of the world, how could Lu Bu not report it?

Zhang Liao also sighed: "The lord values love and righteousness, and wants to let the prince of Zhenguo go." But if this is the case, how to explain to the Grand Master and His Majesty? ”

Lu Bu's face was full of embarrassment, and he continued to pace back and forth, making it difficult to make a decision. Ay... Let's besiege it for a few days! Lu Bu thought.

As for the Qiang leaders in the east, they were too excited. The Qiang people have lived in the Western Regions for hundreds of years, and they can only watch Xianbei, Xiongnu and others plunder the wealth and beauties of the Central Plains. Now it is rare to enter the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, if you don't plunder, how can you be worthy of the efforts of the ancestors of the Qiang people?
