Li Wei's expression suddenly sharpened, he pulled out his long sword, pointed at the soldier who reported the news, and said sharply: "Yesterday it was said that the thieves were still hundreds of miles away, how could they break through the revolving gate today?" How can the military situation come quickly, if there is half a lie, cut off your dog's head! ”

The soldier hurriedly said: "I really don't know how to break through the revolving gate, but I know that the thieves attacked successfully at night, and today they entered the pass, but the villain saw it with his own eyes." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Night raid?" Li Dao was taken aback, and then glanced at Guo Yan and Zhang Ji, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and said: "The group of thieves in the Kanto region, the ears of the rats, are not enough, they were going south to fight with Sun Wentai, but now it seems that they can only break the thieves on the East Road first!" ”

Li Dao said, looked at Zhang Liao, and looked aggressively: "Captain Zhang, the thieves have entered Luoyang, and there is no need to defend Xuanyuan Pass, please fight with us and others to beg the thieves and rebel!" ”

Zhang Liao was quickly analyzing and deducing some new changes brought about by the sudden invasion of the Kwantung princes into Luoyang in his mind, and when he heard Li Dao's invitation, he said categorically: "The Flying Bear Army is famous all over the world, and it is better to fight separately, so as not to drag Your Excellency back." ”

Just kidding, when will the Qiang Hu soldiers join hands with the Bingzhou soldiers? What's more, Li Dao's guy is so insidious, and if you fight hand in hand with him, you may be caught.

"Zhang Liao!" Li Dao's face changed suddenly, and he said sharply: "You don't want to ......"

I didn't want him to finish his words, so he rode over at a gallop and said loudly: "Under the order of Prime Minister Guojun, transfer Captain Kou Zhang Liao back to Luoyang!" ”

It's finally here! God help me!

Zhang Liao was happy in his heart, Guo Jia's strategy worked, presumably the news that Tang Xiang was appointed as the Taishou of Yingchuan had reached Dong Zhuo's ears, so he sent someone to summon him back. It's just that this order came too timely, presumably Dong Zhuo didn't expect that the Kwantung princes would attack Luoyang so quickly when he issued the order, but he just withdrew from Luoyang and got out of the whirlpool of the war.

"Captain Zhang Liao takes the order!" Zhang Liao roared, took Dong Zhuo's warrant from the galloping soldier, glanced at it, and immediately waved his hand at Li Dao: "Captain Li, it's not that I won't fight with you, but Xiangguo has already had a secret order, and now he is about to transfer someone back to have a heavy responsibility." ”

Li Dao also heard the soldier's order, and then listened to Zhang Liao's words, his face became extremely ugly, and he turned his head to look at the soldier, but saw that the soldier was the herald under Dong Zhuo, and glanced at the order in Zhang Liao's hand, his face was gloomy, he snorted coldly, turned around and left: "Go north quickly, prepare for a big battle!" ”

Almost at the same time, Zhang Liao also quickly ordered: "The whole army is ready quickly, and after half an hour, the camp will be withdrawn and return to Luoyang!" ”

Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji led hundreds of cavalry away in the blink of an eye, meeting up with the army waiting several miles away. After running for a while, Guo Yan said angrily: "What does Xiangguo's order mean?" It is really unwilling, to let Zhang Liao retreat like this, and we have to fight hard! Childish, that Zhang Liao broke your nephew's finger, so can't he do it? ”

Li Wei snorted and said: "How can he let him retreat so easily, 200,000 thieves have entered the city, although it is exaggerated, I am afraid that it will not be less than 100,000, as long as I wait for some thieves to pass, how can he retreat with his whole body." ”

Guo Yan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily: "That's right!" ”

After Li Dao Guo Yan left, Zhang Liao's soldiers also quickly became busy, they had learned that the revolving gate pass had been broken, and the 200,000 troops of the Kwantung princes had rushed into Luoyang, and there was no room for a moment of delay, otherwise they would be encircled.

Fortunately, Zhang Liao's army did not have too much baggage, all the stone and wood equipment guarding the pass were abandoned, half of the camp tents were abandoned, and there was not much grain and grass left, plus some feather arrows, hundreds of vehicles, and tens of thousands of people were enough to transport.

Zhang Liao urged the soldiers to pack up their baggage, and at the same time sent scouts to Taigu Pass to deliver a message to Xu Rong, now the news is afraid that it has not yet arrived at Taigu Pass, in case Xu Rong is ignorant, it will be over if he is flanked by the front and back.

He had been stationed at the Revolving Gate Pass, and knew that the Revolving Gate Pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but now it was broken overnight, and it was a night attack, Zhang Liao suddenly noticed that the Kwantung princes were completely different from last time.

In fact, there are many powerful guys among the Kwantung princes, such as Yuan Shao's many strategists, Cao Cao himself is also good at fighting, Bao Xin is not bad, his last success was just to take advantage of its dispersion, take advantage of the situation, and attack it unprepared, and now that they have lost once, it is very difficult to raid again.

Of course, a surprise attack can surprise the enemy, but it is also a taboo practice, especially after being guarded against, it is likely to be planned and ambushed, this is a double-edged sword, if you play well, it is Huo Quai, and if you play badly, it is an experience pack.

The revolving gate pass is only dozens of miles away from the Xuanyuan Pass, and the army of the Kwantung princes has entered the revolving gate pass, but it can rush here in half a day, and Zhang Liao now has 10,000 people under his command, most of them are recruits among the recruits, and if they don't retreat quickly, it will really become an experience package.

Half an hour later, Zhang Liao's 10,000 soldiers left the camp, left Xuanyuan Pass, and retreated all the way to the northwest.

As for the Taigu Pass, he didn't care about anything else after he sent someone to pass the news, Xu Rong's five thousand soldiers were all cavalry, and they acted quickly, so they didn't have to worry too much, but they only had 1,600 war horses under his command now, and the rest of the more than 8,000 soldiers were foot soldiers, and they were slow to move, and once they encountered the enemy soldiers, it would be difficult to get out.

Ants bite elephants to death, not to mention that they are not elephants, the 200,000 Kwantung army, even if they divide 70,000 or 80,000 troops to the south, it is enough to make themselves suffer heavy losses! Dead friends are not dead and poor, and now they only hope that Li Dao and Guo Yan can resist more time and attract more troops.

Before retreating, Zhang Liao scattered all the scout battalions, some of them to the northeast to investigate the enemy's situation, some to the northwest to explore the retreat route, and some to the south to explore the enemy's situation.

The Kwantung princes raided the revolving gate, so the other passes were not so safe. If there are also problems at the passes of Taigu, Guangcheng, and Yique, and Sun Jian's fierce man rushes in, plus Yuan Shu's troops, there are thirty or forty thousand, then it will be troublesome, and the strength accumulated by his subordinates cannot be wasted here.

On the way to retreat, Zhang Liao ordered 1,700 cavalry to open up the distance in the right front, so as to respond at any time, the cavalry can only play an advantage when they run, if they follow the large team closely, once they encounter a battle, they will fall into a quagmire, but it is better to be mobile and flexible outside.

The remaining more than 8,000 infantry, 300 tiger soldiers and 200 personal guard battalions opened the way in front, Zhang Jaw led 1,600 halberd soldiers to escort the rear, and in the middle were 6,000 reserve soldiers who had just joined the formation, pushing dozens of carts and pulling grain and grass and other burdens forward.

After traveling for more than 30 miles, Zhang Liao sat on top of the elephant dragon, constantly thinking about what impact the current situation would have on his plan and what needed to be adjusted.

During this period, the scouts who inquired about the news have gone back and forth several times, and the news they brought back is becoming more and more severe. (To be continued.) )
