Chapter 677: Suspicious Array
Li Wei guessed right, Zhang Yu just wanted to treat him as a knife in his hand.
He would agree so painfully to Li Dao, and he also wanted to deal with him against the family.
And Li Dao had to agree.
If you don't promise yourself, you're just making less money.
However, if you say yes, then you will make a lot of money.
For Li Dao, it is of great significance to be able to reoccupy Luoyang.
Now he has a very poor relationship with Guo Yan, and he may turn his face at any time, and then it will be your life and death, even if he wins, it will be a big loss of strength, and the surrounding wolves will tear themselves apart at that time.
Although Li Dao didn't have many brains, he was also one of the generals that Dong Zhuo relied on the most, and he could see that these were not how much vision he had, but his years of experience, and he was very sensitive to danger.
After agreeing, it was easy to do, and Li Wei even directly sent someone to send a deposit of 50 million to Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu naturally won't be polite, and if he doesn't accept the money, he will be punished by heaven.
After receiving the money, he had to do something, and the appearance of this Li Dao was completely an unexpected surprise.
Originally, Zhang Yu was going to give up Luoyang to Cao Cao, and it was impossible for him to guard Luoyang.
Luoyang can't be defended, at most for a year and a half, that is meaningless, his own territory is in Jiangdong and Youzhou.
Zhang Yu called all his subordinates.
"Han Dong, gather all the items we have collected, and then load the car, they must be tied tightly." Zhang Yu said.
"No, my subordinates will definitely complete the task." Han Dong responded.
"Xia Dong, your task is the heaviest, and you must bear the heavy responsibility of attacking and holding down the Cao army." Zhang Yu said.
"Lord, my subordinates swear to complete the task." Xia Dong came out of the queue and said with his fists clenched.
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I'll give you 50,000 soldiers and horses, and you can start arranging them tonight." ”
After speaking, Zhang Yu paused, sorted out his thoughts and said: "Evil, you let your 20,000 people change into light armor, and after you leave the city, you will personally lead it, and then quickly support Xia Dong." ”
"No."
Zhang Yu divided the army into several parts.
Now, Zhang Yu has blockaded Luoyang City, and Cao Jun does not know the number of his army, if it is still calculated according to the previous soldiers and horses, it will definitely make them suffer a big loss at that time.
Several people went to arrange it separately, and Zhang Yu was not idle, he carefully planned the map.
The preparation was quick, and as the day passed, everything was ready.
And Li Wei's 50,000 horses also successfully reached the ambush place.
"It's time to act, and the years of burning passion are about to begin." Zhang Yu said.
Zhang Yu is ready to stop, and a new day is coming.
Early in the morning, Zhang Yu opened the gate of Luoyang City, and then swaggered out.
There was movement in Luoyang City, and the surrounding Cao Jun spies naturally knew about it immediately.
The information was soon reported to Xiahoudun and them.
"Zhang Yu is out of the city, I don't know if there is fraud." Xiahou Yuan said.
"We can't take action for the time being, let the soldiers investigate clearly." Cao Ang said.
The three of them were very cautious and did not make any decisions.
The scout went to find out the news.
"How's it going?" As soon as the scout came, Xiahoudun hurriedly asked.
The three of them sat in the barracks tent and watched the scout.
The scout knelt down and said, "Tell the general, it has been confirmed that Zhang Yu and they have about 70,000 troops out of the city, and there are also a large number of carts, and the items on the carts are very heavy. In addition, there were 8,000 prisoners of our army. ”
"Are those soldiers pretending?" Cao Ang asked again.
"We have carefully identified it, it is definitely a real sergeant, not a pretending to be an ordinary person." The scout replied.
"What's going on in Luoyang City?" Xiahou Yuan asked.
"The gate of Luoyang City is wide open, but no one has come out, and our people dare not enter the city to investigate." The scout debriefed.
After the scout finished reporting, Xiahoudun asked them to continue to stare at Zhang Yu and Luoyang City.
It's all too weird for them to believe without a conspiracy.
However, they still don't know what Zhang Yu is going to do, so they can only be careful everywhere.
"Two uncles, is this Zhang Yu suspicious, or is there really an ambush in the city?" Cao Ang asked.
"In any case, let's gather our forces first, and if something happens, we can deal with it in time." Xiahou Yuan said.
The three agreed, and Xiahou Yuan went to gather the soldiers and horses first.
Three hours after Zhang Yu left the city, he left with the army at a normal pace.
Three hours is enough for Zhang Yu to walk more than thirty miles, mainly because there are a large number of carts in their army and 8,000 prisoners.
Three hours later, Xiahou Yuan and they came to Luoyang with 80,000 soldiers and horses.
An hour later, they arrived outside the city of Luoyang.
The gates were still wide open, and not a man entered or exited.
"Two uncles, why don't we send a team in to investigate." Cao Ang suggested.
"Well, there must be strange things in this city." Xiahoudun said.
They sent in a force of three hundred men.
Suddenly, before the 300-strong army had approached the city, the gates were suddenly closed.
"Sure enough, it's greasy." Xiahou Yuan said.
Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan immediately took care to prevent Zhang Yu and them from sneaking up.
Half an hour later.
"Report to the two generals, Zhang Yu's army is still moving forward, and there is no change." The scout came back and reported.
I waited outside the city for more than half an hour, but it turned out to be like this.
"Keep exploring." Xiahou Yuan said.
After the scout left, the three of them were even more confused.
"Could it be that Zhang Yu wants to hold us back, and then take the opportunity to leave, there are prisoners in his army, and he has brought so many baggage, and the speed is not fast at all." Xiahoudun guessed.
Cao Ang said: "It's entirely possible, and it's also possible that Zhang Yu took the opportunity to set up a suspicious array to lure us into the bait, and we can't be careless." ”
The trio finally decided to continue waiting.
At noon, Zhang Yu's whole army stopped to rest, and then buried the pot to cook.
After eating, the soldier began to rest, looking leisurely.
Surrounded by Cao Jun's scouts, Zhang Yu didn't even send anyone to drive them away.
After resting for an hour, Zhang Yu and the others continued to set off, still unhurried, according to the normal marching speed.
Cao Jun's scouts observed carefully and kept an eye on Zhang Yu and them.
In the army, all the troops in it are undoubtedly soldiers, and even most of them are elite soldiers, and they have not been stolen.
According to the previous intelligence, there was not much discrepancy in the number of Zhang Yu's army.
This is what makes Xiahoudun and them most confused.
They were very suspicious that this Luoyang was an empty city, but even so, they did not dare to act rashly.
"Lord, will this Cao Jun be fooled?" On the way, Dian Wei asked again.
"There is a seventy percent probability that they will be fooled, and Luoyang is too important to them."
Luoyang was an important support point, and the Cao army could not afford to lose, so retaking Luoyang was their inevitable choice.
In this way, Zhang Yu was confident in his plan.
The illusion you make will confuse them little by little.
Even if they weren't fooled, Zhang Yu would have already sold Luoyang, and it would be handed over to Li Dao when the time came.
It's just that the follow-up money is not easy to earn.
