Chapter 481: Good News
"And if our faction joins, it will definitely cause a temporary alliance of these six factions to fight against us together, whether it is in the court or on the battlefield!"
"But we still have to join the fight in the end, I just want to let these come slowly, so that the strength of the six factions will be almost consumed by each other, and then the emperor will also realize that only I can save the court, and only at this time, will I really welcome the emperor to return to the east!"
"And I don't want the emperor to choose to stay anywhere but Yuzhou! The population around Luoyang is far from enough to maintain the consumption of grain and grass for the army and the imperial court, even if I move a large number of people to Luoyang, it is not enough, I still have to rely on transporting grain from outside, whether it is to move the population, or to transport grain every year in the future, the consumption is too great! ”
"From a strategic point of view, if the world is unified, Luoyang is indeed a very good danger, but before unification, Luoyang is surrounded by enemies! Extremely detrimental to our current development! ”
After listening to these words, Xu Chu and the other generals' eyes brightened, and they had a preliminary comprehensive understanding of everything in the future, and they also knew how to cooperate with the implementation of the entire plan in the future.

The reason why Feng Yao led the army to cross the river to kill Liu Bao was not only to find an excuse to delay the arrival of the emperor, but also to block the path of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others!
Now that the Kei Pass has been breached, together with the Dongyuan City and the main village on the north bank of the Yellow River, a solid triangular defensive trend has been formed.
The area around Luoyang is now basically controlled by Feng Yao and Yang Biao, and on the Yellow River between these two points, there are hundreds of warships and a large number of small boats as a blockade of the waterway.
A little further north, don't worry, not only is there Taihang Mountain to block it, but also Yuan Shao's sworn enemy, the Montenegrin Army!
It can be said that even if Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei already have the idea of welcoming the emperor, forcibly breaking through the blockade of Jiguan is the most likely to succeed!
Xu Chu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then what are we going to do next?" ”
Feng Yao smiled: "Of course it's a rest!" In this battle with Liu Bao and Liu Bei, we got a large number of excellent war horses, and whether it is a battle with the Baibo Army or a battle with the Xiliang Army, there will be a large number of cavalry! Otherwise, the enemy's thousands of iron cavalry rushed forward, and I was afraid that the soldiers would be defeated without a fight! ”
Xu Chu smiled and said: "Lord, this is really good, every brother of the Tiger Guard is looking forward to having his own war horse as soon as possible!" ”
Feng Yao nodded: "Zhong Kang, don't worry, I plan to divide the war horses obtained in this battle into three parts, among which the strongest endurance will be used as iron horses, in addition to increasing the number of personal iron horses for the generals, the rest will expand the number of my personal iron horses!" And the fast ones will be equipped to the brothers of the Tiger Guard Battalion, so that the Tiger Guard will act more quickly in the future! The rest of the horses were equipped with the scout camp, and most of the scouts were on foot due to the lack of horses, and it was difficult to escape when encountering the enemy, especially the cavalry! ”
Xu Chu and Liu Shun were overjoyed when they heard this, with a look of expectation on their faces.
"Let's talk about the welcome to the emperor this time! Let's take a look at the rest! Feng Yao said, and at the same time stopped his gaze on Liu Shun.
"Lord, according to the scout information, the Black Mountain Army led the army to pursue Liu Bei, but was defeated in an ambush and was killed by Guan Yu, and there were less than 4,000 people who fled back to Jiguan!" Liu Shundao.
"Hmmm! Go on! Feng Yao nodded, this result had been expected.
"The news from Lujiang came back, Ji Ling, Gan Ning, Zhang Xun, and Zhiyue attacked Liu Xun together, Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo, and Xu Qian, the thieves of Tianzhu Mountain, all surrendered, Zheng Bao of Chaohu surrendered to Zhang Xun, Zhang Duo descended to Zhiyue, and Xu Qian from the north of Dabie Mountain surrendered to Ganning! Liu Xun was beheaded by Ji Ling in the battle, and Liu Ye surrendered, but was killed on the spot by Gan Ning because of insulting Gan Ning! Liu Shun said again.
"What? ......, Liu Xun and Liu Ye are dead? ......" This time Feng Yao almost jumped, his expression shocked.
"That's right! This matter is absolutely true, I am afraid that in a few days, the battle report will be delivered to the lord! Liu Shun said.
"Alas, what a pity! Although Liu Xun is incompetent, Liu Ye is indeed a talent, and they are all royal relatives, I am afraid that I will have to explain to the emperor again! Feng Yao sighed, but soon became happy again, Liu Xun and Liu Ye are really troublesome to deal with, and it is not bad to kill, at least in the future, there will be fewer people who may stand up as enemies.
Liu Shun then reported some news, and in general, the good news was the majority, which made Feng Yao very happy.
The generals discussed for a while, and each went to carry it out.
Feng Yao and Yang Wu stayed in the study, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun, and Liu Shun were sent to divide the war horses, Xiahou Bo took over the city defense at night, and Xu Ding and others rested with him.
There are three war reports on the case, one was sent by Lu Bu, one was sorted out by Xu Ding, and one was brought by Xu Yu.
Battle of Keiguan
There were not many loot obtained, mainly some property that Liu Bei did not have time to take away, and Liu Bei burned the remaining grain and grass before leaving, and when Lu Bu's army attacked, only a small part was rescued.
The biggest gain in this battle was to get Dong Zhao and his 5,000 troops, and there were also 4,000 defeated troops that had not had time to be written in the battle report.
In addition to these, due to the sudden increase in the army, the grain and grass in Keiguan were only enough for a few days, and they had to be replenished in time.
The Battle of the Main Village
Xu Yu and Dai Ling won a great victory, with losses of almost no more than hundreds, thousands of enemies killed, and about 6,000 surrendered troops and defeated troops, and about 700 war horses, of which 600 were lightly injured and could still be used.
The battle of Liu Bao's camp in the north of Dongyuan City
Although this battle was thrilling and life-threatening, the harvest was also the most abundant.
A total of about 5 billion yuan of Liu Bao's gold and silver cloth was obtained, not counting the pearls and jade gems, and about 90,000 stones of grain and grass were obtained, which could almost be eaten by Feng Yao's army in the north of the Yellow River for four months, even if he supported Lu Bu and the nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses who had just surrendered, it was enough to eat for more than a month!
A total of 6,331 people were obtained, most of whom were women, some were girls, and only a few dozen men.
A total of thousands of bows and arrows, nearly 100,000 arrows, about 500 pairs of excess armor, and a large number of other leather armor weapons.
A total of 1,880 lightly mounted war horses and 545 iron mounted war horses were obtained, and these war horses were not counted as those ridden by the surrendered surrenderers.
There were more than 500 Southern Xiongnu light cavalry and more than 800 iron cavalry who surrendered! These more than 1,000 light horsemen and iron horsemen are all full sets of weapons and equipment and war horses.
Among the Southern Xiongnu light cavalry, Feng Yao had already made arrangements to put all of them into the archery cavalry battalion commanded by Zhao Yun, eight hundred iron cavalry, because most of them were surrendered by Lu Bu and wanted to surrender to Lu Bu, and now they are under his care for the time being.
Among these 800 iron horses, about 100 iron horses are willing to surrender to Feng Yao, but Feng Yao does not plan to stay as a personal attendant, but wants to act as Zhao Yun's personal iron cavalry, and give full play to the power of Zhao Yun's close combat. (To be continued.) )
