Chapter 338, Hidden Seal
Excluding the cavalry, the army in Xu Rong's hands was only 600,000 in total, which was about the same as the combined forces of Liu Feng and Cao Cao who were pursuing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But up to now, Xu Rong still has more than 400,000 people in his hands, while Liu Feng has less than 150,000 left, and Cao Cao has less than 20,000 people, and the battle loss ratio is close to 1 to 3, which shows the strength of the Xiliang army.
The reason why Xu Rong was reluctant to fight anymore was that the tens of thousands of cavalry brought by Guan Yu played a very important role. Xu Rong had heard of Huaxiong's experience, and of course he understood that the two brothers who led the troops were powerful.
If the troops were engaged normally, even in the plains, he was confident that he would completely trap these cavalry into his encirclement and thus encircle and annihilate them. But the reality of the situation made it impossible for him to make a steady arrangement, and he could only prepare to retreat. Hua Xiong and Li Dao were both wounded, and most of the cavalry were lost in the first battle, and he didn't think that the remaining people could be worth the newcomers Guan Yu and the others.
After noon, Xu Rong appeared not far from the front of Liu Feng's camp, surrounded by more than 100 personal guards. And Liu Feng took Dian Wei to the appointment alone.
Both sides have scruples, afraid that the other party will take advantage of the meeting to kill themselves. After discussing for a long time, an agreement was reached, Xu Rong took 100 personal guards to the appointment, and Liu Feng only brought a 7th-order general.
The armies of both sides were not far away, and a stone's throw away, they were well prepared. Xu Rong was confident that he could resist the 7th-order generals with his personal guards for a while, and wait for reinforcements; Liu Feng is even more relieved and bold, he hasn't died yet!
"I have admired Xu Zhonglang's name for a long time, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary. These days, I would like to thank Xu Zhonglang's subordinates for their mercy! "For Xu Rong, Liu Feng is very curious, he looks ordinary, has no characteristics, why is he so powerful.
In history, Xu Rong's death was a complete tragedy. After killing Dong Zhuo, the Xiliang army that remained in Chang'an naturally came under the control of the imperial court, and after Wang Yun's Li Dao Guo Yan rebelled, he sent Xu Rong and Hu Zhen to lead troops to crusade, and the consequences can be imagined. Hu Zhen, the general of the Xiliang Army, surrendered and directly killed Xu Rong, causing the only person who had defeated Sun Jian and Cao Cao at the same time to die tragically.
"Liu Taishou can escape, that's your ability, it's just your own duty." Xu Rong said lightly, "Needless to say, what is your purpose?" ”
"He is also a courtier of the Han Dynasty, why should Xu Zhonglang refuse to be thousands of miles away?" Liu Feng still wanted to pull the relationship, but seeing that Xu Rong's face sank, he had to stop and said instead. "Xu Zhonglang must have arrested a lot of us in the past few days, I believe they are all still alive, it just so happens that I have tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers in my hands, since I am going to strike the army, it is better to change my subordinates back, what does Xu Zhonglang think?"
"That's right, in the past few days, I have captured twenty or thirty thousand prisoners, most of whom are still alive, but I don't know how long they will live. If you really have our Xiliang soldiers, it doesn't hurt to exchange them for you. However, I have to see the facts for myself, or who knows if you are fooling me. ”
"Yes, tomorrow the captives will come, and after the exchange, they will each go back, and no one will interfere with anyone. Of course, if Xu Zhonglang is afraid of a conspiracy, it doesn't hurt to retreat immediately. Liu Feng said.
"You don't have to be agitated, I won't eat this set, then let's talk about it tomorrow and say goodbye." Xu Rong said without hesitation, and then left cautiously.
The next day, Liu Bei took an army of 200,000 and escorted the prisoners to arrive, and Liu Feng was more relieved.
The prisoner exchange went very smoothly, and Xu Rong did not have as many people in his hands as Liu Feng, so Liu Feng secretly detained those who were not from Xiliang, although there were still thousands more prisoners than in the hands of Xiliang Army, but this was not a problem. Both were in a hurry to leave, and after the change, Xu Rong immediately pulled out the camp and went west, while Liu Feng and the others also returned after sharing the spoils.
The so-called "sharing of spoils" is actually a batch of war horses that were caught off guard by the Xiliang Army. The Xiliang soldiers lost 35,000 soldiers, but only about 20,000 of the captured and usable war horses were captured. These horses also played a very important role in Liu Feng's continuous retreat in the past few days.
As a reinforcement, Liu Bei divided 3,000 horses, Cao Cao, who was almost wiped out, divided 7,000, and the remaining 10,000 fell into Liu Feng's hands. To tell the truth, when he divided the spoils between the two, Liu Feng's heart ached, this was a large amount of money, and it was all seized by himself.
……
Xingyang County Ya, the princes from all walks of life who are still still feasting and drinking all day long, waiting for the Xiliang army to completely withdraw from Henan Yin.
"How many days have it been, and I don't know what the situation is with Cao Mengde and Liu Zhiyuan's pursuit?" Between words and laughter, someone mentioned the two people who went to pursue.
"The previous intelligence showed that they were being chased and beaten by the Xiliang Army, didn't they come to ask Liu Bei to support with great fanfare two days ago!" Yuan Shu said.
"After all, we are both volunteers, should we send troops to help?" Yuan Shao asked.
"They didn't invite us, so why bother to get up on our own?" Liu Dai said.
"That's right, maybe after they have reinforcements, they will fight back and defeat the Xiliang Army directly." Someone laughed.
……
While they were talking, suddenly a person came in from outside the door, it was Cao Cao with a tired face. Subsequently, Liu Feng and Liu Bei followed in.
"The counties are prescient, and we will return from a great defeat and lose our troops, which is really not as far-sighted as you." Cao Cao said sarcastically.
"Dong thief is cunning, even if he evacuates, there will definitely be ambushes, Meng De, Zhiyuan, it's good that you can come back safely." Yuan Shao hurriedly said. In his heart, he was very dissatisfied with the intelligence work of his subordinates, Cao Cao came to the front, and there was no relevant news sent.
"No matter how cunning the Dong thief is, he has already gone west, and most of the army has stayed by his side to protect himself." Cao Cao said sharply, "We and other volunteers, there are still tens of millions of people, even if some of them are dispatched, it is enough to defeat the army left by Dong Zhuo, not to mention, Dong Zhuo only left hundreds of thousands of people, which scared you to a halt." Then what's the use of me waiting for this volunteer soldier, just watching Dong Zhuo take the court to the west safely? ”
"When I fled Luoyang, King Hongnong entrusted me with a blood edict, and for the safety of the royal family, I didn't dare to take it out. Now, the King of Hongnong, the princess, the Empress Dowager He, the Empress Dowager Dong, etc., have passed away one after another, and the reason is well known to everyone. ”
……
Cao Cao burst into a daze, let out his anger, and then ignored the princes who were present with blue and white faces for a while, and turned to leave.
Yuan Shao's face was pale, he knew that what he was doing was not authentic, but he was robbed of Cao Cao and lost face, so it was inevitable that he would have thoughts about Cao Cao.
"Alliance leader, I have been fighting for days and days, and I am physically and mentally exhausted, and I will meet again in the future, so I will retire first." Liu Feng also said goodbye to everyone.
Liu Bei was the only one who became the object of inquiries from all the princes, and when he heard that Cao Cao was almost wiped out and almost died, he understood why Cao Cao had so much anger. Anyone who happens to this kind of thing will have such a reaction.
Although Yuan Shao was a little ashamed of what Cao Cao said, he still did not move troops, but only sent spies. It wasn't until Xu Rong, who was left behind, that he released Sun Jian again and let him continue to be his pioneer and complete the unfinished mission.
Since the last defeat and was rescued by Liu Feng, Sun Jian has pretended to be a turtle with a shrunken head, and he refuses to come out again, training his only remaining soldiers with peace of mind, plus some defeated soldiers collected after the war, Sun Jian still has 150,000 people. Henan Yin was almost harmed by Dong Zhuo, even if he wanted to recruit troops on the spot, it was impossible.
Before, Liu Feng wanted to call Sun Jian to help, but he didn't know it well, so he forgot it. Besides, Sun Jian was not in dire need of prestige like Liu Bei, and his bravery and military exploits were enough to make him self-sustaining.
Dong Zhuo went west, the pursuit failed, Henan Yin was completely safe, Sun Jian set off with the army, went to Luoyang, extinguished the fire, and repaired the palace cemetery.
At this time, Luoyang was almost an empty city, and there were not many aborigines except for players. Sun Jian's 150,000 troops entered the city, but they couldn't make waves at all, so they could only focus on protecting the area around the palace and controlling the two city gates by the way.
When Dong Zhuo evacuated, he set fire to the city, and the players felt that the opportunity had come, and no one in the city cared about them anymore, so they entered Luoyang City one after another, collecting the belongings that Dong Zhuo had missed, and some people simply entered the palace, wanting to find the lost heirloom jade seal.
Then Li Ru made a big move, and there were few who could survive.
When the fire was a little smaller, more people poured into Luoyang City, wanting to continue their previous work and find the heirloom jade seal. But it's a pity that he turned over the palace and touched all the wells, and there was no trace of the jade seal of the country, so he could only sigh that Zhinao didn't give them a chance.
Sun Jian entered the city, expelled the players in the palace, repaired the palace room, and then someone ran into trouble, and one of the dry wells was shrouded in the formation. If you are not careful, you will not be able to find the traces of the formation, and even if you go down the well, you will not be able to find anything.
There are no intellectual talents under Sun Jian's command, since he has discovered the formation, no matter what the reason, no matter what is inside, he will directly break it with brute force and catch the jade seal of the country.
Then Sun Jian listened to the advice of his subordinates and felt that he would be unspeakably expensive in the future, so he ordered to go down, not to let it be passed on, and to prepare to quietly hide this jade seal of the country.
At this moment, Yuan Shao and others had already set up camp in Luoyang and camped outside the city. Sun Jian wanted to get out quickly, so as written in the novel, he prepared to return to his hometown after illness. (To be continued.) )
