Yu Ban temporarily retreated, and Xu Huang was a little desperate. He was trapped in Luoyang for a month, hoping that reinforcements would arrive.

After Zhong Miao became the lieutenant of Si Li, he began to repair the Luoyang area. However, because of the war, most of the people in Si Li have already run away, and many places are ten rooms and nine empty.

Moreover, during Zhong Xuan's tenure as the captain of Si Li, Si Li was also attacked by Yuan Shao. Guo Yuan, Gao Gan and others have all made trouble in Sili. Moreover, there are many people in Si Li who are not satisfied with the Shangguan sent by Cao Cao, and often make rebellions such as expelling Shangguan, so that Si Li can rest and recuperate.

This caused Luoyang to rely on Si Li to raise too much food, and Xu Huang was not one of those ruthless generals who could plunder the people. So after a month of eating, his rations were already insufficient.

But even though Xue Rengui outside the city has more soldiers and horses than Xu Huang, the grain route of the people is smooth. From Nanyang to Lantian and then to Huayin, and then to Luoyang, it is hundreds of miles long and consumes a lot of grain, but it can't stand the grain produced in Jiangdong.

Zhang Yi prepared 10 million Hu grains for Xue Rengui, even if more than half of them were consumed on the road, there would be one or two million Hu left, and it would be no problem to eat them for a few months.

Forage is easier to find, there are a lot of grasslands around Luoyang, although it has been abandoned for a long time, but the grassland is not afraid of waste, and the more wasted, the better the grass grows.

There was not much food left for Xu Huang in the city, and all he could do was to let the soldiers eat less. Although the soldiers also complained, after Xu Huang took the lead in starving, they didn't have any complaints.

During this time, Wei Yan had been commanding the siege of the city, and today he found that many of the Cao troops in the city were weak. After Wei Yan saw it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he hurriedly commanded the army to step up the attack.

The soldiers quickly attacked the city wall, but were pushed down by one of the generals, Cao Jiang. On the other side, the soldiers also quickly attacked the city wall, and were killed by the general Cao and the city.

"Who is that Cao Jiang?" Wei Yan had no choice but to ask his subordinates.

"That's Xu Huang!" Someone who knew him hurriedly said.

When Wei Yan heard this, "No wonder you are so brave." It's just that now that you're already starving, how long can you survive? ”

Wei Yan raised his sword to attack the city in person, and soon he climbed the city wall along the ladder, brushed down the two Cao soldiers with two swords, and let the soldiers behind him follow.

Xu Huang saw that this side was lost, and immediately came over for reinforcements.

Wei Yan also greeted him and said to Xu Huang: "Yu Ban's reinforcements can't come, you might as well surrender now." ”

Xu Huang glared at Wei Yan: "If you want to fight, you will fight, where did you get so much nonsense?" ”

Wei Yan also stopped talking, and fought with Xu Huang with the knife. The two were not much closer, Xu Huang might be stronger than Wei Yan, but he was weak now, so he could only have a draw with Wei Yan.

Wei Yan defeated Xu Huang, but Xu Huang's Cao soldiers could not withstand Wei Yan's soldiers. Soon the soldiers set up a military formation on the city wall and stood firm.

When Xu Huang saw this, he immediately roared, and slashed forward with the ring knife in his hand.

Wei Yan responded calmly, raised his shield to defend, and blocked Xu Huangdao.

There was a hot fight on the city wall, and Xue Rengui under the city couldn't help frowning when he saw it. "Why did Wei Wenchang climb the city wall?"

Wei Yan's soldiers hurriedly replied: "General Wei said that the enemy army has run out of food and has no strength, and now it is only fighting with the last breath of energy. He said that as long as he blocked the enemy general Xu Huang, he could break through Luoyang. ”

Xue Rengui was not happy after hearing this, but reprimanded: "Since you know that the enemy is out of food, why don't you wait for two days to attack?" This guy must be greedy for credit! ”

But there is no way to be angry, Wei Yan has already gone up to the city wall. He took off his bow and galloped toward the wall, and when he reached the wall, he shot an arrow at the city. The arrow shot directly at Xu Huang and hit Xu Huang's leg.

Xu Huang was hit by an arrow in the leg, and his body couldn't help shaking. Wei Yan immediately seized the opportunity and slammed Xu Huang's head with his shield.

Xu Huang had reached the end of his crossbow, he had been hungry for almost three days, he had just beaten down the enemy soldiers again and again, and then fought with Wei Yan for a long time, after being shot by Xue Rengui, the pain made him forget the hunger that he had forgotten came out, and in an instant it drained his strength. After being beaten by Wei Yan, Xu Huang couldn't hold on any longer, fell to the ground and fainted.

Wei Yan asked the soldiers to escort Xu Huang up, and said to Cao Bing: "Xu Huang has been captured, if you don't descend quickly, Xu Huang will definitely die!" ”

Faced with Wei Yan's threat, the Cao soldiers were in disarray. Some people want to surrender because they love generals like Xu Huang. Some people didn't want to surrender because they were fed up with Xu Huang's constraints. As a result, those who surrendered and those who did not surrender started a dispute, and they fought on their own.

Seeing this, Wei Yan immediately asked his soldiers to take the opportunity to occupy the city wall, gather those who surrendered, and attack those who did not surrender.

An hour later, Wei Yan took down the city walls and opened the gates. After Xue Rengui led his troops into the city, he quickly cleared out the Cao soldiers who were still resisting in the city.

After taking Luoyang, Xue Rengui called Wei Yan over and reprimanded him. After Wei Yan came out, he behaved a lot.

Wei Yan has an arrogant personality, but he is only arrogant to those who are not as good as him. In history, he was full of arrogance in front of Liu Bei, but he did not have any arrogance. Xue Rengui's ability is much stronger than Wei Yan, whether it is his own bravery or leading the troops to fight, Wei Yan is convinced.

However, after being reprimanded, Wei Yan was very depressed. He took people to Luoyang City, Luoyang, the capital of two hundred years, is still very large, and after walking around, Wei Yan is a lot better.

Xue Rengui took Luoyang, immediately divided his troops with Wei Yan, and let Wei Yan go south to Xincheng, Luhun, and Liang counties to attack Yingchuan Lunshi, Yangcheng, Yangzhai, and Jiaxian, and then went to Changshe to join Wang Yanzhang, one of them attacked Xu County, and the other attacked Yanling.

Xue Rengui went to Yanshi, Wushi, and Gongxian to Chenggao and Wei Rui to converge. After occupying the Tiger Prison Pass, Xue Rengui and Wei Rui divided their troops, Wei Rui led his troops to attack Hanoi County, and Xue Rengui attacked Henan Yin. From Xingyang, Juan County, Yuanwu, Yangwu, Zhongmu, Kaifeng, Yuanling, Xinzheng, and then from behind to Yanling.

Wei Rui went north to Pinggao and divided his troops to attack Zhou County, Yewang, Bo County, Qinshui, and Yi County. After most of the soldiers returned, they immediately attacked Huaixian.

Huaixian Sun Li felt that he couldn't resist Wei Rui, so he retreated to Ji County to join Yu Ban. After Wei Rui captured Huaixian, he marched east to Wude, went north to repair Wu, sent troops to attack Shanyang, and won the award in the attack. Bingweiji County.
