At this time, to the west of this Yang City, there was also a brand new group of men approaching.

However, unlike Yuan Tanjun's army in the east, who still needed to enter the city, this team, more precisely, a behemoth team of two people and horses merging together, arrived here openly and openly, and opened the door from the city to let them in.

To be able to do this, there are naturally only Xu Rong and Pang De in the world, and the two people behind the army led by their subordinates, Li Wenyou and Ma Mengqi.

But said that he had been temporarily resisted by Cao Xing's army in Gucheng before, but in fact, it had long been in Li Ru's calculations, if he really wanted to fight with Cao Xing, although he was also confident that he would eventually be able to break through Gucheng, after all, all the people gathered here were the most elite infantry that the two of them could take out at hand, and the siege battle was also a good trick, with Li Ru's wisdom and the courage of these soldiers, it was not difficult to take down Gucheng, which was originally not a solid fortress, and then entered Luoyang, not to mention, Because there is basically no obstacle on the way from Gucheng to Luoyang City, but in this way, there will be a lot of price to pay in the process, I am afraid that there is no need to wait for Luoyang, just when Gucheng is the weakest moment, it will be difficult to pass the level of Yan Xing, who is ready to reap the benefits at any time.

On the surface, the two of them still led their men and horses to attack Gucheng, making a posture of not giving up if they did not break it, but in fact, this side was just a feint, and the real attack point was on Pang De's side; Of course, in order to prevent suspicion, some necessary casualties are inevitable, whether it is Li Ru or Ma Chao. I don't feel unbearable or regretful, as long as the final plan can be successful.

Facts have also proved that Li Ru's idea is not wrong, although Cao Xing has always been vigilant, but even if he wants to get them This is a way to hide people's eyes and ears and hide from the world, with Li Ru and Ma Chao, the two "big fish" luring here, I believe that he will definitely not let it go lightly, and he will basically be dragged here by them, and Yan Xing on the other side is probably the same, and just when they are all focusing on Li Ru and them. At this time, Pang De and Xu Rong had already led tens of thousands of cavalry teams on both sides to make a detour to the foot of Luoyang City.

At this time, something happened that was unexpected whether it was teaching Cao Xing, Yan Xing, Li Ru, or Ma Chao. That is Jia Xu and Zhang Liao, who were left by Lu Bu under the command of Luoyang, and the civil and military Liang Zhu actually led the team to withdraw from Luoyang, so that they could take Luoyang without much effort, of course, Li Ru quickly reacted, and also knew that Jia Xu, who was definitely not under his own when it came to wisdom, was definitely a trick. Not to mention that the city of Luoyang is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if it's out of the city to set up a position. It is also their side that is in a weak position, but it is the side that has the advantage to take the initiative to retreat, and it is to give up such an important big city as Luoyang City. Who would believe that there is no conspiracy in it?

However, just like the set he set up for Cao Xing before, even if he knew that there might be something hidden in it, but the temptation of Luoyang City was too great, Li Ru might be able to bear it, and those generals and soldiers under his restraint could also insist, but Pang De and Ma Chao behind him could not do it, so after that, Pang De's long drive was completely expected, and Li Ru did not let Xu Rong stop it.

In fact, with the distance from Gucheng to Luoyang City, the speed of news transmission is very fast, and the intelligence network carefully cultivated by Li Ru in Luoyang when Dong Zhuo was still at the beginning was not in vain, so Li Ru was often able to find out the news in front of Luoyang at the first time, and secretly contact Xu Rong's side, and also give instructions and orders to him.

It was also under his instructions that after Xu Rong entered Luoyang, he neither stopped the actions of Pang De and his subordinates in Liangzhou, nor did he have the slightest intention of participating in it, it looked more like an inconsequential bystander, and even now when Pang De led the army to attack the palace, Xu Rong quickly gathered soldiers and horses, and ran directly to the east side of the palace, clearly for them to look at the wind and end the meaning, which is also a tacit understanding formed by Li Ru and Ma Chao now. A rather alternative way of working together.

Luoyang is so easy to obtain, but also makes Li Ru's plan can be implemented well, Cao Xing and even Yan Xing's side of the side of the bet on this side of the attention is more than he originally expected, and at this time, Li Ru's plan entered the second stage, that is, the second time to hide the sky and the sea, just when Cao Xing and they neglected to pay attention and take precautions, he and Ma Chao evacuated the camp not far from Gucheng, and then quickly evacuated here, bypassing Gucheng and chasing Pang De's footsteps.

However, the world is also unpredictable, Li Ru has thought carefully enough, and he is cautious enough, but after all, it is impossible to know everything, such as Zhang He, who led a small group of men and horses to lurk near Gucheng under Jia Xu's order, ready to pick up Cao Xing and protect him thoroughly, is a factor that he did not expect, and it was this factor that suddenly appeared and almost capsized them in the gutter.

If it weren't for Zhang He's prestige in the hearts of his subordinates, he still didn't let them be careful and vigilant, so that they were discovered in time by Li Ru's scouts on their side, plus Zhang He's team of less than a thousand people, even if he really succeeded in sneak attacking, it would be difficult to deal a devastating blow to them, not to mention that it had been discovered, then the biggest weapon of the sneak attack in the secret attack would be lost, Li Ru and they were vigilant enough, and they quickly reacted to organize an attack, Zhang He's speed was fast enough, but the difference in strength was too great. In the end, he had no choice but to avoid the edge for the time being, and at the same time sent someone to Gucheng to inform Cao Xing and let their army come out to pursue.

However, where would Li Ru give him this opportunity, after driving away their troops, he immediately ordered his subordinates to march quickly, and Ma Chao also did not dare to slack off and did the same.

Of course, Zhang He's marching experience is not like that of those who have lived in the palace for a long time, even when he knew that he had to retreat, he still left some men and horses to lead them to hang far behind Li Ru's army, once they found that they had signs of speeding up the march, they immediately sent men and horses to attack and harass, this tactic was surprisingly effective at this time, even Li Ru couldn't think of a good way to fight back for a while.

The army led by Li Ru and Ma Chao is destined not to be fast, even if it is a rapid march, it is difficult to get rid of the other party, not to mention that Zhang He's nearly 1,000 people under him are light cavalry, and they are very mobile, and they are the best at doing this kind of guerrilla warfare, and they will create huge trouble for the other party.

This seems to be the time when the two sides are fighting wits and courage, Zhang He knows the soldiers, and the marching experience is incomparable, while Li Ru is flexible and resourceful, of course, in the face of this situation, he will not be willing to be successfully contained by the other party, and simply play the guerrilla strategy with the other party, first Li Ru and Ma Chao each led their own men and horses to disperse, and after a while, they each scattered two or three teams of people, and then in turn.

Their total number was no less than 40,000 people, although they were all infantry, but after all, they were not charging head-on with the opposing cavalry, so as to avoid the biggest disadvantage of their own side to the enemy, and according to Li Ru's strategy, not only did the marching speed suddenly increase further, but also played a role in doubting and even dividing the troops on Zhang He's side.

However, Zhang He is Zhang He in the end, and he immediately grasped the biggest point, among all the scattered people, he only divided his subordinates into three teams of less than 1,000 people, and then two of the teams went to pursue the two teams with Li Ru and Ma Chao respectively, and the last team was waiting for the opportunity to cover.

Li Ru couldn't help but praise the other party when he saw this, this is indeed a good choice in this situation, but unfortunately he had already expected this situation, he and Ma Chao were already hidden in two ordinary teams of people and horses, needless to say, the two teams covered with the illusion of Li Ru and the others were led by Zhang Xiu and Xu Huang, two generals under Li Ru, and they took Zhang He and them to go around in circles, and it was too late for the other party to find out.

This was a bait deliberately thrown out by Li Ru, and he didn't think it was safe enough, and he created a few suspicious troops to confuse the other party.

Zhang He was indeed confused, in this case, even if Lu Bu, Jia Xu and others were here in person, it was difficult to judge the truth of the other party, not to mention him, experience and military strategy could not be regarded as a qiē, and in the end, he could only be helplessly thrown away by Li Ru and them, and even after a confrontation with the soldiers and horses led by Zhang Xiu and the others, they were finally defeated again due to lack of strength, but this time they couldn't even rush up.

And at this moment, Li Ru and the others finally arrived at Henan County, which was almost undefended for them, but even so, the cautious Li Ru still held back the whole army and let the planet pass secretly at night, without disturbing anyone here.

Of course, this made Ma Chao, who was arrogant and arrogant by nature, a little dissatisfied, and even almost broke out on the spot, but he was easily blocked back by Li Ruyun's light words, but from this time on, the two sides also seemed to have some cracks, which was actually reasonable, who called them fundamentally incompatible.

However, no matter how it is, it is impossible to break out at this moment, and the group under the leadership of Li Ru and Ma Chao threw off the pursuers, bypassed the garrison of the Lu Bu army, and finally rushed to Luoyang City according to the original plan, although it still took some more time than the original plan.

And as soon as they entered the city, the two immediately knew that Pang De was attacking the palace at this time, where would they hesitate, and they didn't even have the time and mood to take a break here to collect the dust of this servant, and immediately let people lead the way, but this time they didn't bring all the people and horses, and only took a thousand people each to the direction of the palace......
