Chapter 228: Idle Talk (2)

"What do you mean, my lord...... No results in a short period of time? ”

Huang Zhong naturally understood these truths, but his loyalty to the Han Dynasty made him unwilling to accept all this.

"In a short time? It depends on how this short period of time is defined. Han Yan didn't have the idea of selling Guanzi, and then explained, "Aocang can delay here, but Spiral Gate Pass and Luoyang City can't be delayed, most of the places that the coalition forces can control are heavy places for grain production, this Dong Zhuo has no way, so the large amount of grain and grass piled up in Aocang is what he needs." As long as Ao Cang can hold on, then Dong Zhuo will definitely not be able to hold on! ”

"Your lord, you mean...... Will Yuan Shao win? ”

Huang Zhong also disliked the heavy-hearted alliance leader from the bottom of his heart, not to mention that he still had a dislike for Han Yan.

"'Win'? This word is not very accurate, in fact, this battle is deadlocked, and no one can be regarded as a winner. Moreover, Dong Zhuo still has a way to retreat after he can't hold on, and it is not difficult to confront the coalition forces for more than ten years, where can Yuan Shao say that he can win? ”

Thinking about the original historical situation, Han Yan understood that this battle really dragged on to the end, in fact, it really couldn't be said who lost and who won, because both sides suffered heavy losses.

"So...... There's no way around it? ”

At the thought that the war might drag on for more than ten years, Huang Zhong felt as if a big stone had been pressed on his chest, and he was very depressed.

"How? I'm waiting, too! ”

Han Yan's voice was low, but his thoughts flew out.

can solve the current situation, in fact, it is quite simple to say, as long as the blank back to Luoyang is enough for you, then everything can be solved next. Han Yan didn't know what Dong Bai had experienced in the previous years, and he didn't know who Dong Bai had known or what he had done, but as far as the names of those people that Han Yan knew at the moment, any one of them was enough for Han Yan to be shocked now.

Niu Fu and Dong Bai are naturally related to each other, even if Dong Zhuo is still in power, but now that Dong Zhuo's son died early, and his grandchildren only have one granddaughter, Dong Bai, no matter how you think Dong Bai's status will not be too low. And like Jia Xu, a 'poisoner' who was famous in the original history, was almost on Dong Bai's side, Han Yan really didn't dare to guess anymore.

Even sometimes, Han Yan will hold a kind of longing, maybe one day Dong Bai will abolish her grandfather after returning to Luoyang, and then Dong Bai will be in power, followed by leading the troops out to sweep Yuan Shao and these people, followed by the peace of the world, the swords and guns are put into storage, and the horse is released in Nanshan, and Han Yan also lives a carefree life.

Of course, Han Yan knows that these are not practical, after all, Dong Bai's age is there, and most of the people who can be wooed are close to her, and it is impossible for her to win over people like Li Dao and Guo Yan, so many times it can only be a matter of chatting.

"My lord! The men and horses on Niu Fu's side are dispatched! ”

Just when Han Yan was still in a daze, Yin Li, who got the scout message, walked over quickly.

"Oh? The men and horses on Niu Fu's side were dispatched? How many people were dispatched? ”

Han Yan came back to his senses and asked casually.

"Back to the lord, 30,000 people were dispatched!"

Yin Li's face was full of seriousness, and he didn't mean to joke at all.

"Thirty thousand? It's impossible! Niu Fu's subordinates have a total of 30,000 horses, and he doesn't even try to press the army? How is this possible? Yin Li, have the scouts seen clearly? Really 30,000 people? ”

For this information, Han Yan felt that something was wrong, so he asked again.

"This ...... Scouts are judged by the number of flags and should ...... It shouldn't be too bad, right? ”

After hesitating for a moment, Yin Li also felt that something was wrong, but the information brought back by the scout did not look like it was fake.

"Flags? That's right! Flags! How did I forget about this? The order went down, and the whole army set off and went straight to Niu Fu's men and horses! ”

Patting his forehead, Han Yan seemed to suddenly understand what was going on, and hurriedly gave an order.

"Lord, don't you have a prophet to meet them?"

The 'they' Huang Zhong said were naturally Liu Dai and Qiao Mao.

"You mean Liu Dai still has Qiao Mao? The two of them got the news faster than us, so don't worry about them. ”

Han Yan didn't believe that those two people would get the news later than him, and the reason why they didn't send someone over was more likely to observe the situation.

It's just that Han Yan doesn't have the idea of continuing to watch the play. It's not that Han Yan is reckless, it's really boring to be so carrying, even if it's not a fight with Niu Fu, it's actually good to walk around in the past. As for Niu Fu's so-called '30,000 army', Han Yan felt that nine times out of ten it was a disguise, and as for the method of cheating, it was very likely that he learned it from him Han Yan that night in the state and county.

The mobilization of 5,000 men and horses is not fast, but it is ready to go, and as soon as the news spreads, the movement is not too slow.

Han Yan led the men and horses to the east, and when he stopped at the place directly north of Ao Cang City, he waited for Niu Fu's arrival with peace of mind, and the defenders in Ao Cang saw that suddenly a large number of men and horses were approaching the city wall, and they were in a hurry, and the sound of shouts kept coming from the city wall, obviously strengthening their guards.

Ignoring the good show that was being staged in Ao Cangcheng at this time, Han Yan waited intently for Niu Fu's arrival, and after a while, he saw a banner appear in his field of vision, and the armor soldiers under the banner were also endless, and he couldn't see the end at all.

"Hey! Hansheng, are you ready? It's almost here! ”

Seeing that the speed of the other party's advancement was not very fast, the little worry that Han Yan had had had disappeared, turned his head, and asked Huang Zhonglai beside him.

"Lord, everything is arranged!"

Huang Zhong nodded, indicating that everything was fine.

"Then it's up to them to move, if they stop, we'll catch them, if they're coming straight at us...... Then let's think about whether it's time to retreat. ”

For a head-on encounter, Han Yan has no such plan, not to mention that the losses are all his own, so why bother to embarrass his future 'uncle'?

If the other person stops when they see them, then it is almost certain that they are just bluffing, and if they don't stop...... It wasn't necessarily the whole army that was dispatched, but Han Yan didn't want to deal with a bunch of crazy people.

Of course, the two armies are fighting, and this momentum should also be taken into account, but now Han Yan has no intention of contacting the other party, so he can put it aside for the time being.
