Chapter 239: The First Confrontation with Liu Bei
Guo Yan launched several suicidal attacks on Luoyang, but they were all repelled by the defenders of Luoyang.
In desperation, he ordered to retreat to Xincheng, waiting for the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to go south, enter Hanzhong from Shangyong, and finally return to Liangzhou in the western section of the Qinling Mountains.
His plan was decent, but he miscalculated, the determination of the coalition forces to destroy the Xiliang army.
Cao Cao was in Yanshi, and met the main force of Xiliang led by Li Daoqin, and the two sides clashed several times in Yanshi, and the battle was very fierce.
Every collision takes away countless lives.
Cao Cao didn't expect that the Xiliang Army, which had lost Dong Zhuo, would still have such strong combat effectiveness.
He immediately adjusted his tactics and let Yu Ban lead the army in front, and then sent Li Dian to attack Li Dao's left flank, and Le Jin led the army to attack the right flank.
Subsequently, he assigned Xiahoudun and Cao Chun to lead the tiger and leopard to ride around Li Dao's back and cut off his retreat.
As soon as the order is issued, the generals will act immediately.
It's just that now Li Dao has been blinded by hatred, and he still has the same lifeless way of playing before.
But the entire Cao Jun camp was as steady as a rock and never retreated half a step.
This battle was fought from morning to dusk, and the open space in front of Cao's army had already been covered with the corpses of the Xiliang army.
Only then did Li Wei gradually come back to his senses, and he saw the situation clearly and ordered a retreat.
It's just that he didn't know that he was planning to retreat at this time, and he had already lost the opportunity.
Sure enough, just as the Xiliang army was about to move, the left and right flanks were fiercely attacked by the Cao army, and it didn't last long before it collapsed.
Immediately after that, the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him, and Li Dao looked back and was shocked, and what came into view was countless cavalry, who were slashing and killing frantically against their rear army.
"It's over!! Finished! ”
Li Dao seemed to have lost his soul, and he was still muttering nonsense in his mouth.
Seeing this, Cao Cao was overjoyed in his heart and immediately ordered the whole army to attack, and the soldiers of the whole army burst out with a fighting spirit that soared into the sky, and rushed to the Xiliang army with a roar.
The scuffle lasted for half an hour and ended.
Of the 30,000 Xiliang troops, less than 500 people really fled, and the rest were all killed.
Even Li Dao himself was beheaded by Xu Chu and went to meet his nephew.
Zhao Yang led his army to Yique Pass, and happened to encounter Guo Yan's army heading south, which made both sides very nervous, for fear that they would be attacked by the other party if they were not careful.
Guo Yan was busy fleeing for his life, leaving Xu Rong and Li Meng behind, leading an army of 30,000 to confront Zhao Yang, while he himself continued to march towards Xincheng with the army.
Guo Yan hopes that Xu Rong can drag Zhao Yang out for a long time, but no one else is intellectually disabled.
Not long after Guo Yan left, Xu Rong and Li Meng led an army of 30,000 and surrendered directly to Zhao Yang.
They all know that now that the Xiliang Army is already in the general trend, if they don't know the current affairs, there is only a dead end.
Zhao Yang was baffled by their operation, but he still admired Xu Rong very much.
After all, Cao Cao's first defeat was in his hands.
Xu Rong knows Xiliang very well, and if they use troops against Xiliang in the later stage, this person is a good guide.
Zhao Yang did not support the big, and helped Xu Rong and Li Meng very kindly, and Zhao Yang accepted their invitation to surrender and did not blame the past.
They must not have been the ones who made the mistake in the first place, as military personnel, they can only act according to orders.
Xu Rong and Li Meng were very moved, and worshiped Zhao Yang as the lord on the spot, these two were impressed by Zhao Yang's mind, and never rebelled in their lives.
Accepting the surrender of Xu Rong and others, Zhao Yang got the person he dreamed of.
"Haha, Mr. Wenhe, you make it easy for me to find it!"
Zhao Yang was very happy when he saw Jia Xu standing in front of him, and asked Zhang Xiu at the beginning, but Zhang Xiu had never seen him.
This made Zhao Yang depressed for a long time.
At this moment, he called Zhang Xiu and introduced the two of them, as if it was a bond of fate, and both of them felt that the other was similar.
Now the siege of Luoyang has been eliminated, but the whole Luoyang is still dilapidated.
Zhao Yang led the army to five miles outside the South City Gate, he stopped the army from continuing to advance, and at this time Li Su and Lu Zhi went out of the city to meet them.
Both sides praised each other, but when they saw that Xu Rong and Li Meng, who were standing behind Zhao Yang, Li Su directly ordered the arrest of the two regardless of their image.
Xu Rong and Li Meng did not take Li Su's threat to heart.
Sure enough, before the guards arrived, they were directly stopped by Qianniuwei.
Zhao Yang's face was gloomy at the moment, and he looked at Li Su's eyes, revealing a burst of murderous aura.
"General Zhao, don't be impulsive, if you have something to say, don't hurt the peace."
Looking at Zhao Yang, who was murderous, Lu Zhi hurriedly came out to reconcile, although he was also beating the drum in his heart, I don't know if Zhao Yang will give himself face.
He remembered very well how he treated Zhao Yang when he was in Guangzong.
"Don... Tang Hou, it's wrong to think about it below, you don't go through your brain to do things, you adults have a lot, but don't be like me. ”
At this time, Li Su also came to his senses, and his hot brain was directly cooled to the extreme.
Zhao Yang waved his hand, and the troops put away their weapons and retreated.
When Lu Zhi saw it, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, he didn't expect that he hadn't seen him for a few years, and Zhao Yang's momentum was even more terrifying.
"Yo he~ What a big shelf, you dare to behave like this to a person who has made meritorious contributions, do you Zhao Ziyan want to become the second Dong Zhuo?"
Just as Lu Zhi wanted to invite Zhao Yang into the city, suddenly a hateful word came from the left, which directly made Lu Zhi so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and the second Buddha entered the ground.
He turned around and was about to start scolding, but what caught him was an army covered in blood and many soldiers covered in wounds.
Liu Bei?
Seeing the other party's commander clearly, Lu Zhi was shocked.
He felt that he was really old and could not keep up with the pace of this era, and many people who admired him at the beginning are now several times more successful than himself.
Liu Bei didn't seem to see Lu Zhi, and looked at Zhao Yang with straight eyes.
"Yo, who am I? It turned out to be your big fool! ”
Zhao Yang saw the viciousness in Liu Bei's eyes, he didn't care, he learned Liu Bei's tone, and teased him fiercely.
Zhang Fei was so angry that he screamed, he didn't ask Liu Bei for instructions, and directly led the army to kill him.
Seeing this, Dian Wei was not ambiguous, and took Qianniuwei to meet him, and soon melee together.
Liu Bei knew that he couldn't stop it, so he simply left Liu Feng and led a thousand people to protect Pang Tong and others, and he led the whole army to charge.
Zhao Yang snorted coldly in his heart, and immediately ordered a formation to fight back.
The state army instantly formed a wild goose array, and Huang Zhong directly ordered the Yulin army to release arrows, and in an instant, countless sharp arrows flew towards Liu Beijun.
Liu Beijun was defenseless and was immediately shot and killed.
Zhao Yang ordered the attack, and the team did not see a trace of panic, and slowly advanced forward under the cover of the big shield soldiers.
Liu Bei didn't expect the other party's attack to come so sharply.
The wave of arrow rain just now directly caused him to lose nearly a thousand people, which made Liu Bei feel distressed and very regretful.
He blamed himself for not being so impulsive, and now he could only crack his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
Since the battle is open, he will not withdraw until the last moment.
