Chapter 239: Huo Yu's Choice
When the soldiers of the Xiliang Army saw Fan Chou being beheaded from his horse, they immediately made a mess. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Only dozens of Fan Chou's guards rushed forward, wanting to kill Guan Yu. However, these guards were all cut down by a black-faced general beside Guan Yu.
"Knife skills have improved!" Guan Yu looked at Zhou Cang and said slowly.
As more and more Liaodong cavalry joined the battlefield, the Western Liang army collapsed without a leader. Faced with such a situation, Guan Yu showed no mercy and led the army to cover up all the way.
Outside Hangu Pass, two defeated armies came by taking a small road, and the people who were led were Li Dao and Guo Yan, who escaped from the encirclement of the Liaodong Army.
At the juncture, Niu Fu accompanied Li Ru and looked coldly at the group of defeated soldiers for a long time. When Li Ru learned that Li Dao and Guo Yan were almost wiped out, he was shocked.
In the end, he became a "praying mantis", Li Ru was puzzled, there must be a master around Huo Yu.
"See the military advisor, we are a capital crime!" The first thing Li Dao and Guo Yan did when they arrived at the Hangu juncture was to go and ask for guilt. Li Ru is still easy to speak, if Dong Zhuo is here, it is difficult to say whether the lives of the two can be saved.
"Li Dao, Guo Yan, where is the army of 20,000 palaces? Where is the treasure of Sangkook? Li Ru asked coldly.
At this moment, Li Dao and Guo Yan glanced at each other and buried their heads lower, and seeing that the two were silent, Li Ru snorted coldly.
"Military advisor, Wenhou Lu Bu has just passed the customs, and it may be too late to send someone to go at this moment!" Niu Fu beside Li Ru reminded in time.
For Li Dao and Guo Yan, Niu Fu's suggestion was like a lifesaver. In the end, it is still his own brother who speaks to him. So, the two looked up and glanced at Niu Fu gratefully, and everything was silent.
"Alas! Or, send someone to order Lu Bu to return, how much can be recaptured! Li Ru sighed and said, then turned his head to look at Li Dao and Guo Yan and said, "You two go together, and you will bear the goods you broke in!" After finishing speaking, Li Ru turned around and walked towards the gate.
Half an hour later, a group of fast horses sent a letter to Guguan and headed in the direction of the Bingzhou army.
Niu Fu said to Li Dao and Guo Yan at this time: "Brother Li, Brother Guo, rest and eat, and take back the treasure after Lu Bu returns!" ”
Two flowers bloomed, one for each, and after Huo Yu led the Flying Feather Cavalry to clean up the battlefield, he came non-stop in the direction of Hangu Pass. Along the way, the corpses of the people could be seen everywhere, and the tragic death made them silent for a long time.
"Drive, speed up!" At this time, Huo Yu was not only competing for time with himself, but also with Xiliang Army.
After Guan Yu beheaded Fan Chou, he covered up all the way. Fan Chou's subordinates were killed and fled in all directions, and the people on the official road once again attacked this group of beasts that were inferior to them. As a result, the people gradually blocked the way of the Liaodong Army, causing part of the Xiliang Army to escape from Tiansheng.
In the face of the emotional people, Guan Yu had to persuade him with good words. Fortunately, the people were still relatively cooperative, and after a delay for a while, they finally converged with the Dark Feather Guard and chased towards the ultimate goal.
Twenty miles ahead, more than two dozen carriages dragged their heavy bodies forward slowly. There were only a thousand Xiliang cavalry around the carriage. All this is thanks to Li Dao and Guo Yan, if it were not for the destruction of the 20,000 army, even if the Liaodong cavalry chased after it at this moment, it might not be able to succeed.
The defeated soldiers rode their horses and rushed up in a moment, and when they learned that the Liaodong cavalry was about to catch up, Li Su, who was in charge of pressing and escorting the treasure, was a little panicked.
"Quick, order someone to go to Hangu Pass for help!" Li Su hurriedly ordered.
Li Su has never seen the combat power of the Liaodong Army, but the fact that Li Dao and Guo Yan have not returned is enough to explain everything. What's more, in the battle of Bishui Pass, the horrified action of the generals in Liaodong made Li Su have no confidence in the more than 1,000 cavalry around him.
It is said that Lu Bu's annexed state army received Li Ru's general order not far from Hangu Pass. When he learned that the defeat of Li Dao and Guo Yan had led to the destruction of the 20,000 troops behind the palace, Lu Bu was shocked.
The combat strength of Li Dao and Guo Yan's subordinates, Lu Buwai couldn't be clearer, even if the state army faced it head-on, it would not have much chance of winning. Now that Huo Yu's Liaodong army actually wiped out the palace army, Lu Bu had some expectations in his heart, it turned out that the Liaodong cavalry would not only know that tiresome tactics.
"Kill!"
It didn't take long for the wolf riders led by Guan Yu to catch up with the escort convoy, and the two sides started fighting when they met, without the slightest drag. However, to Li Su's surprise, this group of Liaodong cavalry was obviously not Han. The battle started and ended quickly, and Li Su had already fled towards Hangu Pass under the protection of his personal guards.
"See the lord!" Guan Yu, who was counting his belongings, immediately stepped forward and saluted when he saw Huo Yu coming.
"Yun Chang, how are the casualties? Can the soldiers fight again? After meeting, Huo Yu didn't ask about the treasure.
"My lord, after two battles, the casualties have been reduced by nearly 3,000 before one battle!" Guan Yu replied truthfully.
"It's so good to order everyone to hydrate and eat at once, and there will be a fierce battle soon!"
After the general order was issued, the entire Liaodong Army, except for the vigilant men, all began to eat to recover their strength. At the same time that Huo Yu caught up with Guan Yu, the news of the return of the Dark Feather Guards and the State Army in the direction of Hangu Pass came.
With so many treasures, Li Ru would never give up easily, otherwise he would not be able to explain to Dong Zhuo after returning to Chang'an.
Half an hour later, groups of scouts returned one after another with news of the state army. Huo Yu was weighing the pros and cons in his mind at the moment.
This time, his goal has been achieved, is it worth fighting a bloody battle in the face of these more than 20 cars of treasure?
After a while, Huo Yu made up his mind, took out five carts of treasures, and used them to attract the light and strong among the people to help him, and handed out half of them to Lu Bu so that the Xiliang generals could be like Dong Zhuo, and the remaining half were brought back to Liaodong.
I believe that Li Ru will not fight to the death with him, besides, even if Li Ru wants to fight to the death, it is still unknown whether Lu Bu is willing to fight.
Although the Xiliang Army is strong on the surface, there are many internal factions, and I believe that Lu Bu has already realized that if the loss of soldiers and horses in his hands is too great, his voice in the Xiliang Army will be reduced.
Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, who took out five carts of treasure and seduced many of the people to come to the battle. Although they have not undergone the proper training, their anger towards the Xiliang Army cannot be ignored.
"Wen Hou, let's meet again!" Looking at Lu Budan, who rode alone, Huo Yu also rode out alone.
"Huo Zhengbei, what a big appetite!" Lu Bu said with a smile.
"Wen Hou is a smart person, and the little brother will get straight to the point! These treasures, the younger brother has already used five cars, in exchange for the addition of the light and strong behind him. What if the rest of the treasure is divided equally between the two sides? Huo Yu said with a smile on his face.
"What if it would have been not?" Lu Bu said threateningly.
"Hahahaha! Wen Hou is not an unreasonable person, Li Dao and Guo Yan's 20,000 palace queen army was destroyed, causing the frame of the treasure to fall into the hands of Yu, Wen Hou is willing to join the state army with heavy casualties? ”
