Chapter 223: The Soldiers Surrounded the Pond

Gao Shun came to Lu Bu's side and shouted loudly: "Wenhou, the thieves are strong, let's retreat to Luoyang for the time being." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lu Bu looked up, only to see that the mountains were full of Black Mountain Army and White Wave Thieves, and his 5,000 soldiers were defeated and retreated, most of them were killed and wounded, and they had no intention of fighting.

"Wen Hou, if you don't retreat, I'm afraid you will be surrounded." Zang Ba also said a little anxiously.

Lu Bu looked up to the sky and sighed, and shouted unwillingly: "Withdraw!" ”

After the order was given, the sergeants retreated like a tidal wave, throwing away their armor and fleeing in confusion along the way.

With a wave of Zhang Yan's hand, his Black Mountain Army took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, and by the time Lu Bu fled to Luoyang, the 5,000 sergeants were already less than 2,000.

Fortunately, Zhang Yan did not receive Zhao Qian's order to attack the city, and after shouting under Luoyang City, he led the army to retreat.

Han Xian was very happy and said: "Thanks to General Zhang's righteous rescue this time, the brothers of Baibo Valley are grateful. ”

Zhang Yan waved his hand and said: "General Han is polite, Bai Bo and Montenegro are already on good terms, besides, this time it was the general who ordered me to come to the rescue, and General Han and General Li should thank General Xie." ”

Han Xian and Li Le glanced at each other and said, "Is it really the Great General Zhao Qian who ordered General Zhang to come?" Then Lu Bu is now Yuan Shao's person, so he is not afraid that Yuan Shao will raise troops to attack? ”

Zhang Yan laughed and said, "Don't say that Yuan Shao will not raise troops to come, even if the army is overwhelming, how can the general be afraid?" ”

"Is Zhao Qian really so powerful?" Li Le was puzzled, he felt that Zhang Yan was a little blindly worshipped.

Zhang Yan smiled slightly and said, "Two generals, have the generals been defeated since the beginning of the army?" Besides, I have fought with the general, and I know very well how powerful the general's soldiers are. ”

Han Xian rolled his eyes and said: "General Zhang now has an army of 30,000, and Lu Bu, who retreated to Luoyang, only has a few thousand men and horses, why not take advantage of the situation to capture Luoyang and make miraculous achievements?" ”

Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "The general did not order me to capture Luoyang, I must have other plans, and you and the two of you must not make a mistake." ”

Li Le asked again: "General Zhang can stay in Baibo Valley for a while, and we will entertain you as a token of gratitude." ”

"No need, I still have military affairs on my side, and I need to return as soon as possible." Zhang Yan immediately refused.

Han Xian and Li Le glanced at each other again and said, "If General Zhang leaves and Lu Bu comes again, what if it's good?" ”

"That's right, Brother Baibo Gu has suffered heavy losses this time, and in a short period of time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover, and it will be really difficult to resist Lu Bu." Li Le also said pitifully.

The corners of Zhang Yan's mouth raised slightly, and said, "I have a way to make the two generals no longer afraid of Lu Bu." ”

"What's the solution? Consult us. The two hurriedly asked.

"The two generals can go to the table to take refuge in the general, so the two generals are the generals of the Han Dynasty, so if Lu Bu comes again, he will be rebellious." Zhang Yan said with a smile.

Han Xian thought for a while and said, "Lu Bu is an unrighteous person, I'm afraid I don't care at all if I am rebellious." ”

Zhang Yan laughed and said: "Even so, the two generals still have many strong reinforcements, Huayin Xu Rong and Hanoi Zhang Ji can form a horn with Baibo Valley, and Lu Bu does not dare to move lightly. ”

Li Le hurriedly flattered: "With General Zhang helping me Baibo Valley, that is enough." ”

Zhang Yan laughed and said: "I am now a general under the general's account, how can I mobilize troops and horses at will?" As long as the two generals take refuge in the general, if Lu Bu comes to attack, how can the general not care? ”

Han Xian and Li Le discussed it privately, and said: "Okay, let's follow General Zhang's words, from now on, this brother in Baibo Valley will only be the head of the general!" ”

"Good! I will personally write a letter to recommend, and I think that the great general will definitely wait for the two generals. Zhang Yan said with a smile.

The next day, Zhang Yan's army marched and returned to Montenegro, and at the same time sent someone to Jinyang to report the situation to Zhao Qian.

After Zhao Qian received Zhang Yan's letter, he was very happy, and after understanding the Son of Heaven Liu Bian, he ordered someone to revise the edict and appoint Han Xian as the general of Xingyi and Li Le as the general of Fenyi, responsible for the military affairs of the Pingyang army.

At the same time, Zhao Qian transferred a batch of supplies from Jinyang, and sent them to Baibo Valley together with the edict of appointment.

After Han Xian and Li Le received the appointment, they were very happy, and they were even more happy when they saw Zhao Qian's materials last time.

So, the two took Zhao Qian's letter of appointment, took over the military affairs of Pingyang, and began to recruit troops openly to guard against Lu Bu's counterattack.

On the other side, Lu Bu was very resentful, and the sergeants under his command plus some stragglers in Luoyang were only two or three thousand.

Moreover, the last time Dong Zhuo abandoned Luoyang, he burned the city and plundered the people, although he was finally taken back by Zhao Qian, most of the people still followed Zhao Qian to Jinyang.

Today's Luoyang City is very desolate, conscription seems unlikely, Yuan Shao does not increase troops, and Lu Bu has nothing to do.

Not to mention Lu Bu, who had a sad face, after Xu Rong of Huayin learned of Lu Bu's defeat, he began to gather troops and horses and march to Mianchi.

The two places were too close, and by the time Duan Xuan of Michi Taishou found out, Xu Rong's army had already surrounded Michi.

Lu Bu, who was close to Luoyang, heard the news, so he summoned Gao Shun and Zang Ba to discuss whether to save Duan Xuan.

Zang Ba snorted coldly and said, "Yuan Shao didn't increase his troops and Wen Hou, why did he go to save his city?" ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "What Xuan Gao said is the same, why should I be nosy?" Pepin, what do you think? ”

Gao Shun said: "Wen Hou, I can only see it below, even if I can save it, I can't go." ”

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"It is Xu Rong who besieges the pond this time, this is Zhao Qian's army, if Wenhou goes to the rescue, Zhao Qian can mobilize the troops of Shangdang, Hanoi, and Hedong to attack Wenhou together, and it will be critical at that time." Gao Shun said.

Lu Bu looked very depressed, held back for a long time, and asked, "Then Zhao Qian won't mobilize a large army to attack Benhou now?" ”

Gao Shun shook his head and said: "No matter what, Wen Hou is still Yuan Shao's person at this time, this Luoyang is still Yuan Shao's chassis, unless Zhao Qian wants to fully develop with Yuan Shao, he will not take the initiative to attack." ”

Lu Bu sighed and said, "Okay, Ben Hou will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, hum, let Yuan Shao lose a piece of meat!" ”

Duan Xuan of Michi climbed the city tower, looked at Xu Rong's army under the city, and shouted: "General Xu, why did you invade my city, can you know that this city is owned by Yuan Shao, the Tai Lieutenant?" ”

Xu Rong shouted loudly and said: "Bold Duan Xuan, you lent grain to Lu Bu before to help him attack Pingyang, it is really a rebellious act, I am specially ordered by the general to come to arrest you!" ”

"Lu Bu is arrogant, I really have to do it." Duan Xuan hurriedly explained.

Xu Rong waved his hand and said, "Don't explain to General Ben, either go out of the city to fight, or surrender, what are you talking about!" ”
