On the second day, Liu Wei got up early and led the cavalry to continue the pursuit. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Liu Wei climbed on the horse, only to see that Yang Miaozhen, Wang Yue, Lin Chong and Di Qing were around, and Li Xianzhong and Lin Renzhao were left behind in Luoyang. Although the cavalry under Liu Wei was taken by Cao Cao to pursue the Xiliang soldiers, there were still tens of thousands of cavalry under Liu Yu.
Liu Yu's ability to lead troops is not strong, but he is loyal to Liu Bian, and Liu Yu handed over this cavalry to Liu Bian's command.
Liu Wei looked around, frowned, and said, "What about Lin Yu?" That kid has always been belligerent, why don't you see him? ā
"Your Majesty, I didn't see him last night, I heard from the soldiers, he followed Lord Cao to pursue the Xiliang soldiers!" Next to him, Wang Yue smiled bitterly.
"It's really not a hassle!" Liu Wei scolded secretly, urged the horse to the west, led the cavalry, and continued to pursue the Xiliang soldiers.
However, it was said that Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others led the soldiers and horses to the west overnight, wanting to escape into Hangu Pass.
Marching at night, the line of sight is not clear, not to mention that Zhang Liao's command is not full of cavalry, and half of the infantry is mixed, and the marching speed is greatly reduced.
But Cao Cao and his entourage were delayed in Luoyang for about an hour, it was also dark night, and they were worried that there were ambushes, so they didn't go fast.
When it was getting dawn, Zhang Liao and his entourage gradually approached the vicinity of Xingyang, which was not far from Hangu Pass. Outside the city of Xingyang, there are many mountain passes, Zhang Liao marched here, but saw a future rushing out of the mountain pass.
That general is about forty years old, with three strands of beard, not like the majesty of the Xiliang military generals, but with the elegance of a Jiangnan child.
"It's Li urging Guo Yan?" General Na Xiliang shouted at Zhang Liao.
"A certain family is Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan under the command of Wen Hou, who are you?" Zhang Liao asked General Xiliang.
"A certain family is Xu Rong!" Xu Rong saw that it was Zhang Liao and rode out.
"Why is the General here?" Zhang Liao saw that someone answered, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and asked.
"Li Ru's military division is not here, but he recommends Jia Xu as the main public army division, Jia Junshi knows that you and other people are migrating, and he is afraid that the princes from all walks of life in the rear will pursue him, so let me wait here to respond!" Xu Rong arched his hand.
Xu Rongnai is a general under Dong Zhuo, and his qualifications are not under Zhang Ji, Li Xu, Guo Yan and others, Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing is the line of defense that allows Xu Rongzhen to guard the area of Guguan. Although Zhang Liao had never seen Xu Rong, he had heard of Xu Rong's name.
"Huh? Why don't you see the two generals and the people? Xu Rong saw that Zhang Liao and the others only had soldiers and horses, and they didn't see Li urging Guo Yan, so he asked suspiciously.
"Alas, it's a shame to say that a certain family was defeated and lost the Tiger Pass, Liu Wei led the light cavalry to pursue, in order to preserve the strength, only to leave the people, last night passed by Luoyang, Luoyang is weird, but I don't see General Li Guo, a certain family feels that Luoyang has fallen into the hands of the Kwantung princes, so they have to come to Hangu Pass!" Zhang Liao said with a look of shame.
"What? Aren't the two generals Li Guo not? Xu Rong said with a sad face.
"I'm afraid there is a spy under the command of the military advisor!" Zhang Liao shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Xu Rong looked sad, he and Li urged Guo Yan to work together under Dong Zhuo for many years, although the relationship was not very good, but when he heard that the two were afraid of an accident, he had a sad feeling of the death of a rabbit and a fox.
"The general is slow and sad, now Liu Wei's army is afraid that it won't be long before it catches up, and please prepare for the general!" Zhang Liao saw Xu Rong's sad face, and hurriedly bowed his hand.
"Hmph, since the two brothers Li Guo were killed, I will let the Han army die here!" When Xu Rong heard this, the murderous aura on his face flashed.
"Does the general have a strategy to defend against the enemy? If you ask for orders, Liao is willing to obey the general's command! Zhang Liao said humbly.
"I don't have a plan to defend against the enemy, but before Jia Xu's army entered the customs, he had already had a plan to pass on to me, as long as you listen to my command, I will ensure that the pursuing army will not come back!" Xu Rong smiled lightly.
"General Dan, please command!" Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Xue Andu and others bowed their hands.
"Go on, pretend to be defeated, throw away your armor, but don't go in. I continued to lay in ambush here, preparing a lot of rolling stones and dry firewood! As soon as the Han army arrives, I will let him go, and then you return to the army to rush and kill, and a certain family will put a fire on him behind his back at that time, and the Han army will definitely be defeated! Xu Rong said the strategy left by Jia Xu.
Zhang Liao forgot to look around, only to see that both sides are full of high mountains, only an official road in the middle can pass, now the spring is not long ago, the shrubs are still dry, if it is ignited, it is very easy to burn.
Zhang Liao and several people are all familiar with the art of war, see the terrain here, know that this is an excellent ambush place, if the Han army comes to attack, there must be no return.
"It's a good plan, without further ado, I'll go over first, and the general will continue to ambush here!" Zhang Liao arched his hand.
Xu Rong nodded, and led the troops into the cols on both sides, while Zhang Liao and the others turned over their horses and headed west, along the way, they threw down some horses and armor, pretending to be defeated soldiers, and throwing away their armor.
And Cao Cao also led the cavalry to gradually rush here.
But said that Lin Yu, last night when he heard that Cao Cao was going to continue to pursue the Xiliang soldiers, Lin Yu went out of the side, and was very resentful of the slaughter of the people, and the Xiliang soldiers, who were no different from other races, Lin Yu was also hateful. Lin Yu wanted to pursue with Cao Cao, so he quietly followed.
However, Lin Yu was worried that Cao Cao would not agree to accompany him, so he walked the path on both sides. At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Lin Yu met a hunter in the mountains and forests, this hunter knew the terrain of this place very well, and Lin Yu was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. Orion is also bold, seeing that this young general has to pursue the Xiliang thieves late at night, he actually pointed out a shortcut to Lin Yu.
According to Orion, walking from the path is half as fast as taking the official road.
Lin Yu's crotch horse is the BMW selected by Liu Wei for him, although it cannot have the bonus of force, but it can also travel eighty miles at night.
Lin Yu walked on the path, preparing to take the path ahead of Cao Cao, even if Cao Cao did not agree to accompany him.
When the sky was about to dawn, Lin Yu rushed to a mountain forest not far from Xingyang. However, between the mountains and forests, the road is not easy to walk, Lin Yu got off the war horse, pulled out the sword at his waist, cut down the surrounding bushes, and sat down, where he could see the official road below.
Lin Yuyi sat down and smiled with satisfaction: "Hehe." I'll wait here, and if he comes, I'll be able to fight with him." ā
Lin Yuzheng looked at the scenery below the mountain, and suddenly his ears moved.
"Don't let her run away, he's the prime minister's man to arrest!"
"It's hateful, she killed many brothers along the way, it's cunning!"
Lin Yu looked up and saw that in the haze, a dozen or so Xiliang soldiers were chasing and killing a person dressed as Xiliang soldiers.
"Interesting, dog-eat-dog? I've got to check it out! Lin Yu smiled, carried a spear, and ran towards the mountain.
By the time Lin Yu went up the mountain, the man had been cornered, and more than a dozen Xiliang soldiers surrounded him. The man held a long sword in his hand, and resisted the attack of several Xiliang soldiers with great difficulty.
Lin Yu saw that the man made the swordsmanship quite extraordinary, but he seemed to be exhausted, and under the attack of more than a dozen Xiliang soldiers, he struggled to support it.
"This? Is it the swordsmanship of the king? Since it is related to the king's master, I have been saved! Lin Yu's expression froze, and he realized that the person was actually Wang Yue's swordsmanship.
Wang Yue was Liu Bian's swordsmanship teacher, and Lin Yu followed Liu Bian's practice of literature and martial arts, so he was also fortunate to learn Wang Yue's swordsmanship.
Lin Yu jumped out of the bushes, the spear in his hand was horizontal, and shouted: "Wait for the Xiliang dog thief, what kind of ability is it to bully more and less?" Let the master come and play with you! (To be continued.) )
