"Suspicious tactics?"

"That's right, in such a situation, we will use the tactic of suspicion to make Zhang Ji automatically drill into our ambush circle.)" Liu Yi intends to cultivate Meng Ke, so when he is with him now, he prefers to talk more about marching and fighting with him.

There are many historical generals in the Three Kingdoms, but not everyone can be used by Liu Yi. At present, in addition to Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Gan Ning and other historical generals, Liu Yi feels that Huang Xu has now become a talent, watching these people who have not left a famous name in the history of the Three Kingdoms succeed under his own hands and become famous generals, Liu Yi himself also feels a sense of achievement.

In addition to being a little lower in personal force, Meng Ke also has the potential to become a wise general. Now the mountain and forest special operations force presided over by him and his younger brother Meng Ding has developed very well, and it can be said that this branch of the army, which can play a special role in the war, has begun to make meritorious contributions, and this qiē is the credit of the Meng Ke brothers.

Due to the special reasons of Huaxia geography, there will be a lot of times when this army will be used in the future, so the sooner Meng Ke matures and can stand alone, the lighter the burden of Liu Yi will be in the future. A large number of bandit soldiers who have been trained in the Dazepo base may be assigned to the command of Meng Ke in the future and go out with Yang Feng and other generals. Especially in South Vietnam and Southeast Asia, Liu Yi couldn't wait for Sun Ce to dig up and unify the south, and when the time was ripe, Liu Yi's naval army would also open up overseas territories.

Therefore, Liu Yi deliberately cultivated Meng Ke and let it mature as much as possible.

Liu Yi said: "Zhang Ji is even a shrewd person, but, no matter what, he has been in a passive situation from the beginning, and his tens of thousands of troops staying in Lushi County are equivalent to being put to death, unless he dares to lead his army to the east now, and attack our Luoyang or south along the Luoshui River to attack Wancheng." Otherwise, as long as we free up the army, it will be his death. But if he leads an army into attack. But that's exactly what we like to see, because it's better to fight a war of movement than to storm a town with high walls and thick walls. As long as his army reaches the field, it will become a rootless duckweed, and as long as we take Lushi County, he will have no place to rest his troops. At that time, as long as we held on to the city. If they send cavalry to keep an eye on them, put some pressure on them, and block their escape from the Luoyang area, then they will be self-defeating and will naturally die sooner or later. ”

"Yes, I see, actually. We are not in a hurry to destroy Zhang Ji at all, and this time we came here to set up an ambush, just at the right time. We can afford to drag it out, but Zhang Ji can't afford it, he will be destroyed sooner or later. Meng Ke vaguely understood.

"Hehe, we are attacking Dong Zhuo now, just to consume a large number of their troops, so that our troops can enter Chang'an, and now the battle has just begun, unless, our army loses one after another in Hongnong County, otherwise. is doomed to Zhang Ji's demise. As the saying goes, the virtual is real, the real is virtual, and the virtual is real. Since Zhang Ji suspected that we had ambushed troops here, he didn't dare to lead the army here, so we simply forced him to come. Liu Yi smiled: "Tomorrow." Hongnong County will definitely send someone to ask Zhang Ji for help, and when the messenger from Hongnong County arrives in Lushi County, we will directly enter the ambush position, and from tomorrow, we will completely control this area, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave Lushi County, and then send someone to inform Qin Jie in Wancheng, so that he can also send a military horse to move in the east of Lushi County, so as to make the momentum bigger, causing our army to attack Lushi County. Cutting off Zhang Ji's connection with Hongnong County, what do you think he will think? ”

"Zhang Ji will definitely think that Hongnong County is lost! Especially when we have more troops. Ha, yes, Zhang Ji can not lead the army to support Hongnong for a day, he can not support for two days or three days, but after a long time, if he can't get in touch with Hongnong County, he will naturally feel the crisis, at that time, even if he doesn't support Hongnong County, he himself will lead the army to escape. When the troops go out to the east, they will face some wild places, and he also knows that he must not lead his army to calmly detour back to Hangu Pass from our place, so he can only pass through the mountain valley road here and quickly withdraw from here to Hongnong County. Meng Ke finally understood completely, nodded happily, and said, "Doesn't that mean that from the beginning of our attack on Dong Zhuo, Zhang Ji's fate was doomed?" ”

"Of course, unless we do fail, but is it possible? In fact, Gan Ning transported siege equipment from Dongting Lake Xinzhou, and he would go to Wancheng first, if Zhang Ji dared to defend Lushi County, we could intercept a batch of siege equipment first, and capture Lushi County first. Liu Yi finally said: "Therefore, we control this place, but we never let Zhang Ji know where our army is, creating a kind of our army is here, but he can't be sure where it is, at that time, Zhang Ji will definitely doubt whether we are really here, they are afraid that we will ambush him here, but they will also worry that our army has withdrawn to participate in the attack on Hongnong County, he will raise the flag uncertainly, the longer the time, the more anxious he will be, when the time comes, Even if he knew that we might set up an ambush here, he would have taken the risk and would have to leave Lushi County with his army, and he would have to pass through our ambush route. Because, he was afraid that if he didn't leave, he would never have a chance to leave in the future. I'm sure he'll be impatient to send troops, probably in two or three days. ”

This is also some of the advantages of inconvenient communication in the post-war war, if one side of the enemy forces is cut off from friendly forces, they will panic and will inevitably fall into a passive situation.

"That'...... I'm going to set it up right now? Meng Ke was excited at the moment, because no matter what, it seemed that Zhang Ji was a dead end.

"Don't worry, now let the sergeant rest well, you can also take a good rest, you haven't had a good rest in the past few days, right?" Liu Yi waved his hand to let Meng Ke leave. Don't rush the arrangement.

If Liu Yi was not in a hurry to control a complete Luoyang region and try his best to get rid of Dong Zhuo, there would actually be many ways to deal with Zhang Ji. For example, there is no need to directly attack Lushi County, just need to trap Zhang Ji's army in Lushi County, so that they cannot send troops to support Hongnong County. The purpose of the battle plan formulated by several major military divisions is to make Dong Zhuojun in Hongnong County, Lushi County, Jiaxian County and other places unable to support each other, as long as Zhang Ji can be contained, it is to complete the strategic purpose formulated by Xi Zhicai and others. At present, Liu Yi has actually completed this task.

This time is different from the past, now it is Liu Yibing's turn to be more generals, as long as Dong Zhuo is solved, then in the future, in the battle with the princes of the world, they will be in an active position.

This is also the main reason why Liu Yi is in a hurry to crusade against Dong Zhuo. Right now. has developed to this point, and Liu Yi does not intend to sit back and watch the development of the history of the Three Kingdoms, but will gradually take the initiative and accelerate the formation of a unified situation under the world.

Other than that. Under the current situation, in fact, Liu Yi can also divide his troops, leaving a part of the army and horses to stay in this dangerous plate-shaped mountain valley road, and the main force of the army will go to attack Hongnong County together, but Liu Yi does not need to do that, because Tai Shici and Huang Xu's soldiers and horses. is enough to deal with Dong Zhuojun of Li Dao and Guo Yan.

At this moment, under the city of Hongnong County, the army is all over the mountains, hunting with flags.

The traps and obstacles in front of the city have long been cleared, and the moat has been partially filled.

In fact, if it weren't for Li Dao and Guo Yan's preparations, Huang Xu would have already attacked into the city at this moment. In the past few months, Huang Xu has actually sent hundreds of sergeants into Hongjia City, and plans to use those hundreds of sergeants to make a surprise attack. Open one of the gates. However, with the attack, Dong Zhuo's elite cavalry from all over the country withdrew to the city of Hongnong County, and Dong Zhuo's army at the city gate also adjusted its defense and increased its troops, so that the hundreds of soldiers mixed in the city had no chance to act.

Huang Xu and Xu Zhu rode their horses and advanced to the foot of Hongnong City.

"Li Dao, Guo Yan! A certain Xu Zhu is here again, dare to go out of the city to fight! Xu Zhubao's eyes widened angrily, and the extra-large long knife was raised, pointing at the defenders at the head of the city and shouting.

There was silence on the walls. All that remained was the sound of the wind blowing the flag.

Xu Zhuzhiyong, Dong Zhuo has seen it a long time ago. During this period, Xu Zhuping often led the army to fight, and at the beginning, there were many generals who dared to go out of the city to fight, but all of them were killed by Xu Zhusan. Before. Xu Zhu did not bring many soldiers and horses, at most only a few thousand people, now, looking at the city, not to mention there are hundreds of thousands of military horses, only fools will go out of the city to fight, so in Dong Zhuo's army, no one dares to respond.

"Dong Zhuo controls the government and runs rampant, sooner or later he will be destroyed by the heroes of the world, you are just Dong Zhuo's subordinates, why do you need to die for Dong Zhuo?" Huang Xu leisurely and loudly said to Dong Zhuojun in the city: "Dong Zhuo is now repairing the palace in Chang'an for his enjoyment, he is happy in a few streams, have you ever thought about the life and death of the soldiers?" Our lord Liu Yi, benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled, save the world and help the people, treat his brothers well, and share the blessings and hardships with our brothers, so that Fang is the master of the Ming, is worthy of our desperate follow, now, our army is pressing, you will be trapped in the lonely city, when the time comes, it will only be a dead end, why not open the city gate early and surrender? Li Dao, Guo Yan! If you can lead the army to sacrifice the city, I believe that my lord will not treat you badly, and take refuge in the New Han Dynasty, wouldn't it be better than you to follow Dong Zhuo's traitor? ”

"No more nonsense! A certain Hongnong County, with more than 100,000 troops, you Huang Xu will attack it if you have the ability, Dong Xiangguo is as kind to us as a mountain, how can you vote for Liu Yi? Li Dao has been watching from the head of the city, watching Liu Yi's army advance step by step, his heart has actually been hairy, if it weren't for seeing Liu Yi's army, there doesn't seem to be too much siege equipment, he would never be so calm at this moment.

However, he couldn't let Huang Xu mess up his military morale, he didn't want to answer, but after seeing that many sergeants listened to Huang Xu's shouting, they were a little commotion, and quickly interrupted Huang Xu's shouting.

It is indeed good that he now has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, but there are only 20,000 elite cavalry who can really fight the army and soldiers and horses that can really fight against Sergeant Liu Yi. Now, the defenders of the city are all soldiers and horses that they have temporarily recruited after they were ordered to defend Hongnong City. When they saw Liu Yi's army, they were already timid, they had lost their will to fight, everyone looked pale, if Huang Xu was allowed to fan, maybe, without fighting, there might be sergeants who would mutiny.

Huang Xuzao had a clear understanding of Li Dao and Guo Yan's troops, and when he heard Li Dao's words, he couldn't help but shout disdainfully: "Li Dao, Guo Yan!" We Ming people don't say dark words, your situation, a certain Huang Xu understands it clearly, the sergeants in your city were all some people some time ago, and most of the people who were forcibly pulled up by you, most of them are unwilling to become the soldiers of the dog thief Dong Zhuo. They are already limited in combat power, and if we attack the city now, do you think they will dare to fight us to the death? Brothers in the city, you don't have to listen to Li Dao and Guo Yan. You are all people in the Luoyang area, why follow Dong Zhuo as a thief? You see, now that Luoyang is under the rule of our lord Liu Yi, everyone has been properly settled, and everyone can live with peace of mind. Don't listen to Li Dao and Guo Yan, who are they? They are from Xiliang. It's not the same root as ours at all. Do you want to follow Li Dao and Guo Yan to attack our own people? ”

Huang Xu shouted: "You don't have to be afraid, Li Dao and Guo Yan, they are in the city now. There are only 20,000 of them in the Western Liang cavalry, as long as you open the city gate and we go into the city, we will definitely be able to solve them, and then, you will be willing to join the army. If you don't want to join the army, our lord Liu Yi will give you money and food so that you can live, and will arrange your cultivation and distribute the fields to yourself. To know. After the field has been allotted to you, it will be yours. In the future, you will have your own field. There is no need to rent fields from landlords and scholars anymore. and all that you get from your food is your own. In addition, we will also help you rebuild your home destroyed by Dong Zhuo, so that you can live and work in peace and contentment. I am not coaxing you, you are all from Luoyang, you can just find a common person who is now under our lord's rule, and you will know our situation as soon as you ask. ”

When Li Dao heard it in the city, he couldn't help but panic a little.

Now, he is indeed only 20,000 combatable cavalry, and the other 100,000 or so are equivalent to forcibly recruited sergeants. They are all used to fill the majority. Now, if Huang Xu said that the people who instigated him to surrender, if someone really moved the mind to surrender, then his Hongnong County is afraid that it will change hands tonight, and Hongnong County will fall into the hands of Liu Yi.

"Don't listen to Huang Xu's nonsense. More than 100,000 of our brothers are all elite soldiers, and besides, with our city walls, Liu Yi's army will definitely not be able to enter the city. Rest assured, Dong Xiangguo will soon send a large army to support us, in addition, General Zhang Ji will also lead his tens of thousands of troops and horses to support us, when the time comes, we Hongnong County will have an army of 100,000 or 200,000, therefore, Liu Yi's army is not terrible, as long as we guard the city, the reinforcements will arrive immediately, and as soon as our reinforcements arrive, we will kill out of the city and take Luoyang back, and when the time comes, Xiangguo will definitely be greatly rewarded. Li Dao hurriedly said.

"Haha, want to recapture Luoyang? Does he Dong Zhuo dare to come? Huang Xu laughed and said, "Besides, don't forget, what can Dong Zhuo reward you?" Sending you money and food? Sending you a palace maid? Dong Zhuo came back to Luoyang, it's good not to ruin your family, a few months ago, I believe that your homes were destroyed by Dong thieves, right? Is such a man worthy of your service? ”

"Pass the order!" Li Wei knew that he couldn't talk about Huang Xu, so he had to order: "Order the sergeants to defend the city wall, and never let Huang Xu kill the city, whoever dares to have a riot will be killed!" ”

Guo Yan also followed: "All the armies should pay attention, whoever makes any changes will be killed immediately!" ”

Several gates of Hongnong City were guarded by their elite soldiers and horses, and Li Dao and Guo Yan were worried that there would be problems with the city wall, and they had already formed a supervision team composed of their own soldiers to supervise the ordinary soldiers and let them defend the city.

In this way, it is tantamount to forcing some sergeants to work for them, in fact, Li Dao and Guo Yan both know that this is not a long-term solution, and they will lose if they hold it for a long time. If these sergeants listen to Huang Xu's instigation day and night, they are afraid that within a few days, the morale of the army will be greatly disturbed and their morale will plummet, and there will definitely be problems, and sooner or later there will be a mutiny.

At this time, it is best to go out of the city to fight with Liu Yi's army, even if you don't win, you can show the determination of the sergeants to defend Hongnong, as long as those sergeants and Liu Yi's people fight and make mortal enemies with each other, then you are not afraid of their mutiny. But they can't help it, if there is a big Hongnong City, there are only 20,000 of their elite soldiers to defend it now. If all the 20,000 cavalry were driven out of the city, it would be strange if the soldiers in the city did not immediately open the city and surrender. The situation in some towns before was already very clear, and those troops who forcibly pulled it up did not have a heart for Dong Zhuo at all.

At this time, it would be good if Zhang Ji led his army into Hongnong, with 30,000 more elite soldiers, they would have the possibility of going out of the city to fight with Liu Yi's army. If you add the defenders of Jiaxian and Hangu Pass, there are enough 100,000 elite soldiers, and they are not afraid of the current Liu Yi army.

However, the geographical location of Jiaxian is also so important, there is no room for error, once Jiaxian is lost, Liu Yi's army will cut off their back road back to Chang'an. At that time, not to mention ordinary sergeants, even if they were elite soldiers, they would be in turmoil and have no fighting spirit.

However, Zhang Ji has not yet led the army to come, and the messenger they sent for help has not yet returned, and he does not know the situation in Lushi County, and he does not know whether Lushi County is like Jiaxian. also faced the coercion of Lewy's army. Moreover, they also knew that Liu Yike personally led tens of thousands of troops to advance towards Lushi County.

Li Dao and Guo Yan are both a little frightened now. This is mainly because they didn't expect Liu Yi to move his side, and when he moved, it would be like a thunderbolt. More than 100,000 and 200,000 troops came out together, putting on a decisive battle posture, and suddenly made them passive. If they had known Liu Yi's battle plan and knew that Liu Yi would have exhausted his army, they would have withdrawn all their soldiers and horses to Hongnong a long time ago, relying on their absolute superiority in strength. Tightly guarding Hongnong. Now, if Zhang Ji fails to lead the army to support, they are worried that it will be a problem whether they can hold Hongnongdu.

Huang Xu and Xu Zhu did not wave their troops to forcibly attack the city, but set up camp in front of the city, and kept ordering some soldiers to shout. Of course, from time to time, some sergeants were ordered to advance to the city. Use bows and arrows to shoot at Dong Zhuojun in the city.

Although the casualties on both sides are not large, they can always give Dong Zhuojun a sense of oppression. The illusion of a siege is now ongoing.

After dark, Zhang Ji's reinforcements. Li Dao and Guo Yan didn't wait, but the messenger waited.

Li Dao and Guo Yan heard that Zhang Ji did not lead the army to help, and their faces turned pale all of a sudden. They don't know, and they don't know how long they can hold out without reinforcements.

Liu Yi's army directly attacked the city, and they didn't worry too much, because they could force the sergeants to attack the besieging Liu Yi's army, and they threw big stones on the city. Throw down the sassal wood and radiate the bow and arrows, so that it can inflict great casualties on Levi's army. For a moment, they were also confident that they would not be breached by Liu Yijun. But what they are most afraid of is Huang Xu's heart-to-heart battle.

Sergeants under their men. If you have lost your home because of them, don't say to them that you want to return to your heart, but there may be some hatred. Now there are only 20,000 real Dong Zhuo elite soldiers in the city, and the rest is almost 100,000 horses, if they all mutiny, he Li Dao and Guo Yan will probably die in the hands of their own people without Liu Yi's people.

Fortunately, Li Ru came in time and led 20,000 elite horsemen from Hangu Pass into Hongnong County, which made Li Dao and Guo Yan settle down.

With the support of Li Ru's army, they can settle down a little. However, Zhang Ji, who was in Lushi County, was restless in sleep.

Originally, he was quite calm, at least, he felt that as long as he strengthened his vigilance and firmly guarded the county seat of the Lu family, Liu Yi would have nothing to do with him for a while. Therefore, he was very calm, and, very smart, he guessed that Liu Yi might ambush him. Therefore, he resolutely refused to immediately lead the army to support Hongnong County.

But after nightfall, Hu Che'er reported that he had not been able to find traces of Liu Yi's army in the direction of Lu's northward departure from Hongnong. However, he saw the mountain valley road, which seemed to have traces of a large number of sergeants, and some signs of ambush.

When Zhang Ji heard this, while rejoicing, he also began to be confused. And, the more he thought about it, the more bad it became. I started to get upset.

In fact, Liu Yi led the army from Luoyang to the east of Lushi County, and then when the army disappeared overnight, this was already a suspicious strategy. Zhang Ji didn't dare to immediately lead the army to aid Hongnong, so he had already fallen into the plan of the suspicious army, which was just a little delayed in the time of the demise of his army.

Where did Lewy's army go?

Lewi must have set up an ambush for himself, and he was on his own path.

However, if he is not ambushed, what will Liu Yi do if he follows?

Zhang Ji really started to scratch his head, he was in the military tent in a daze, thinking about Liu Yi's whereabouts.

He felt that Liu Yi now had several possibilities, one was to continue to hide near the Lu clan and continue to fight his Lu County. Second, or, if Liu Yi failed to ambush himself, it is very likely that he has led his army to Hongnong and participated in the siege of Hongnong City, if this is the case, it will be a big deal. With more than Liu Yi's tens of thousands of troops, Hongnong City is afraid that it will be more auspicious.

Although Zhang Ji has the intention to break away from Dong Zhuo and stand on his own, now is not the time. If Hongnong falls into the hands of Liu Yi, he will definitely not be able to stand in the Lu family, and he will definitely have to flee back to Chang'an. However, if Li Dao and Guo Yan blame the loss of Hongnong County on the fact that they did not send troops to support, Dong Zhuo may not be able to give him good fruits to eat. In the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get ahead.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

If he immediately sent out the army to support Hongnong now, and before Hongnong fell into Liu Yi's hands, he returned to Hongnong, then this problem is not a problem. But where is Lewy's army?

The third point that Zhang Ji was most worried about was that he was afraid that Liu Yi would continue to set up ambushes on the road he had to pass. However, it stands to reason that if you miss an ambush once, you shouldn't be able to do a second ambush, right?

In the end, Zhang Ji suddenly thought that Liu Yi had made such a big move this time, and more than 200,000 troops launched an attack on Hongnong County together. In one day, Li Dao and Guo Yan gave up countless towns and reduced their forces back to the two cities of Hongnong and Jiaxian. It can be seen that Liu Yi is playing the real character this time, and it is inevitable to win, and he must capture Hongnong. Then, in the same way, the Lushi County he guarded is also imperative. Now, Liu Yi only led tens of thousands of troops to come, but Liu Yi should still be able to draw troops from other towns, such as Wancheng, not far from the south of Lushi County, where there are also many military horses, and Dongting Lake Xinzhou, there are also many military horses, it is now the first day of Liu Yi's attack on Hongnong County, who dares to guarantee that Liu Yi will not transfer troops from those two places?

Now Liu Yi's tens of thousands of troops, he Zhang Ji can't fight head-on, if he increases his troops, when the time comes, he will not be able to defend his Lu clan, at that time, it will be the end of being besieged by Liu Yi.

In this way, he Zhang Ji will have to go, and if he wants to rely on Lushi County to break away from Dong Zhuo and stand on his own, this hope has become an impossible thing. Now, he has to return to Dong Zhuo's account and obediently be a lackey of Dong Zhuo.

Zhang Ji couldn't sleep all night, just thinking about his future way out, and thinking about how he could safely lead the army to withdraw to Hongnong.

He thought about it all night, and finally felt that if he really wanted to stand on his own feet from Dong Zhuo, he could only lead the army back to help before Hongnong County fell into the hands of Liu Yi. Strive to ensure that Hongnong is not lost, so that it is possible to keep the Lu clan and develop his own power in Lu County.

The cautious Zhang Ji, he decided that he must send someone to reconnoiter the location of Liu Yi's army, and then lead the army to leave the Lu family, at least, in the past two or three days, he must not rashly lead the army to leave the Lu county, this is also the shortest time he estimates that Li Dao and Guo Yan of Hongnong County can hold Hongnong City.

He thought, Liu Yi shouldn't have been ambushing on his path for a few days, right? If he leaves in a few days, it will definitely surprise Liu Yi.

Zhang Ji didn't know that if he thought so, it meant that Liu Yi's suspicious plan had worked. To be continued. m
