"But General Zhao? Get out of the way, and let me meet the enemy general for a while. Zhao Rui was still thinking about whether to surrender just to save his life when a familiar voice sounded. Listening to this voice, he said with a happy face: "It's our people, it's General Lu Weihuang, hurry, rush up and join everyone." ”

Feeling like a long-wandering child who has found a home, Zhao Rui is a horse, and soon converged with the army in front of him.

The person who came was General Lu Weihuang.

After receiving a report from the fast horse scout sent by Zhao Rui, he was sent by the main general Yan Liang.

After Zhao Rui and Lu Weihuang converged in one place, when he saw that his army was mighty, with more than 30,000 people, he was also very imposing, and turned around and pointed at Xu Huang who was chasing with the big knife in his hand and said: "Xu Gongming, you have been chasing me all the way, but it is enjoyable, now I will let you taste the feeling of being pursued." ”

At this time, Xu Huang had already stood on his horse, and he wanted to wait and see what happened. When he saw Zhao Rui lead the troops back to kill and return, he thought in his heart what the military advisor Xu Shu said, everything can't be fought hard, but it is necessary to show weakness appropriately and create a suitable opportunity for the arrival of the lord, so he immediately hit the horse and returned, shouting while retreating, "Quick, Yuan Shao's reinforcements are coming, go quickly." ”

Xu Huang retreated without a fight, which made Zhao Rui and Lu Weihuang's morale even stronger, and the two of them chased after them all the way with the army.

All the way back, Xu Huang also saw a lot of subordinates who were escorting the captives, and they were still far away, so he shouted loudly, "Hurry up, don't want the captives, let them all go!" ”

Zhao Rui's appearance just now is a true portrayal of Xu Huang now, and the two of them have changed their roles and re-interpreted this scene.

When the sun was about to set in the west, Xu Huang had already retreated to Huguan with the army.

The door of the pot was closed, and it became a natural danger to block the advance of Yuan Shao's army, making Zhao Rui and Lu Weihuang a little helpless.

An hour later, Yan Liang also came to Huguan with the remaining 50,000 troops and learned the details of what happened today.

In the daytime battle, Xu Huang suddenly killed, Zhao Rui was caught off guard, and the 20,000 army was hit hard, but fortunately, Lu Weihuang arrived in time, and saved many soldiers along the way, so that the actual number of 20,000 people killed was only more than 3,000, and the number of prisoners was nearly 2,000, with a total loss of 5,000 people.

lost 5,000 people in one day, this figure did make Yan Liang angry, but it was also within an acceptable range. After he angrily reprimanded Zhao Rui, his face looked much better.

Zhao Rui knew that his performance was very disappointing, in order to regain Yan Liang's trust, he said skillfully: "General, I have a lot of responsibility for today's defeat, but it is not difficult to see through today's events that the other party is really in a hurry, presumably Luoyang City is besieged, and they are under great pressure, so they have to go out and fight." And I believe that if we don't gain anything today, we will definitely rush out tomorrow, so this is our opportunity. ”

"Opportunity?" Yan Liang looked at Zhao Rui and asked with some disbelief.

"Yes, it's an opportunity, and it's a good opportunity. General, we now know that there is no increase in troops at all in Huguan, and those cavalry are also the army in Guannei, even if this is the case, that's what I think..."Zhao Rui thought of a plan in order to make meritorious service, and this was told to Yan Liang to listen.

Inside the kettle, Xu Shu and Xu Huang were drinking wine.

"Gongming, I've worked hard for you today." Xu Shu picked up a glass of wine and said to Xu Huang.

"Don't say this, that is, if you are a general, you should be within your responsibility to go to the battlefield. It's just that Huang doesn't know anything, why don't you let me kill today? Xu Huang couldn't figure it out, even if the prisoners in his hands couldn't be kept for his own use, they could be killed, and this was a good opportunity to hit the other party hard.

"Yes, it was my order not to be allowed to kill, and this was done precisely to make the fish bigger in the long run. I know that Gongming is heroic, if he does his best, I am afraid that Zhao Rui will not be able to escape his life. But it makes sense not to let you do that. Speaking of which, it's not yet the time for a decisive battle, and it may be possible to win if you do it rashly, but it also takes a great price to pay, if that's the case, I'm afraid that you won't be able to help the lord anything, so it's better to lay a good foundation first, so that the other party despises us, in this case, waiting for the lord to come, under the attack on both sides, you will be able to win. Xu Shu said very confidently. He had already had his own ideas about the whole battle situation, and now was the time to realize it.

Xu Huang and Xu Shu have been guarding the pot for several years, and after experiencing many things, he admires this person from the bottom of his heart, and seeing that the military advisor is so confident, he also reassures himself: "Okay, even if the military advisor says that there is a way, then there must be a good way, Huang just go and do what he is told." ”

"Haha, thank you Komeito for your trust, that's the case, you can do this tomorrow." After convincing Xu Huang, Xu Shu told his plan for tomorrow. And in the process of speaking, I saw Xu Huang's brows furrowed, and it was not until the end that he relaxed.

The two sides had their own preparations, and on the morning of the second day, Yan Liang left with the army, but Zhao Rui was left behind, and there was no additional army, that is to say, the defenders here only had 15,000 people.

All this is done under the cloak gate, which can ensure that every soldier on the gate can see very clearly.

This matter was quickly reported to the ears of the military advisor Xu Shu.

When Xu Shu heard about this change, his face was overjoyed, "I didn't expect that this Yan Liang would still design for me, okay, that's the case, I will plan it." Come on, inform General Xu Huang, and let him do it according to the agreed plan.

After Xu Huang, who had already prepared according to the plan, got the military order, he rushed out of Guanzhong again with 20,000 cavalry and rushed towards the army led by Zhao Rui.

This time was different from yesterday, Zhao Rui seemed to have known for a long time, seeing that the cavalry in the pass was killed, he retreated very planned, and he failed to make Xu Huang make any money.

Seeing that he couldn't catch up with anyone, Xu Huang ordered the army to stop pursuing, as if he saw something different, and as if he smelled some danger, he stopped, and then retreated with his troops half an hour later.

Xu Huang withdrew the army to Guannai in this way, which made Zhao Rui, who was pretending to flee in front, very frustrated. He looked at Yan Liang, who was ambushed on the side of the road and had already made preparations, "General, why did they go back?" ”

"How do you go back? Or is it because you don't act like it? You're too easy to escape, I'm not saying it, let you resist a little, even if it is worth losing a certain number of troops, you must do things seriously. And you? Yan Liang said very angrily.

To say that Zhao Rui's retreat just now was too simple, as if he had already known that the other party was coming, he would have to run a long time ago, and if it was replaced by anyone, I am afraid that he would be worried.

Hearing that it was his poor performance, Zhao Rui said with a bitter face: "But things have already been like this, what should I do?" ”

"It doesn't matter, General Zhao, your idea is very good, I can also see that the other party is anxious about the situation in Luoyang, so, if the expectation is good, they will still send troops tomorrow, and at that time you will act like some, this is also a good opportunity for you to make meritorious contributions, understand?" Yan Liang spoke to Zhao Rui in a bitter way.

"Ahh Isn't this too dangerous? This is obviously to treat himself as a bait, knowing that the other party is strong, and still sending it to his mouth, he really doesn't want to do such a thing.

"Where is there no danger in fighting. Okay, that's what happened, of course, if General Zhao has any concerns, you don't have to do this matter, hand over the military power, and wait to be punished by the lord. Seeing that Zhao Rui had the intention of retreating, Yan Liang's voice also became cold.

Yan Liang's words are very threatening, Zhao Rui knows very well that with what he has done, once he really refuses this matter, he is afraid that he will only return to Yecheng and be punished, in that case, no future and future should be mentioned.

"Okay, I'll trust the general, and I'll do a good job tomorrow." Zhao Rui knew that he had no choice, so he had no choice but to agree.

As soon as Xu Huang returned to Guannei, he went to see Xu Shu, and after asking about the situation, he said, "Will they really be able to fight with me tomorrow?" ”

"Absolutely. After two days of events, they must have been convinced that we had expressed our intention to urgently aid Luoyang, so tomorrow would be the time for the real decisive battle. And if all goes well, the lord should arrive tomorrow night, and that is when we are caught between inside and outside, and we must not miss it. Xu Shu said in a very confident tone.

"Okay, just listen to the military advisor, and the decisive battle will be fought tomorrow." Xu Huang said angrily, he had been waiting for this day for a long time, especially when he thought that he could make meritorious contributions in front of the lord, he was a little excited and anxious.

Another night passed, until noon the next day, there was no movement in the Huguan, which caused Zhao Rui, who was stationed outside with the army, to beat a little in his heart, could it be that it was because yesterday's play was not performed well, so that the other party was alert, and they didn't come out?

Zhao Rui was still thinking about it, when the gate of the Huguan suddenly opened, and then he saw that Xu Huang was still killed with 20,000 cavalry. Not only that, but behind him were 20,000 infantry, which seemed to have the potential to attack with the strength of the whole army.

Different from the previous two days, after hearing that the enemy of Huguan came out, Zhao Rui was not afraid of rejecting joy, and said: "It's finally out, if that's the case, then let's fight hard, and I'll see how powerful you are." ”

The main general is not afraid of battle, and the soldiers below are also full of confidence, and they have set up a frame to fight with Xu Huang's army.
