Chapter 217: Yuan Shao was furious
Taking advantage of the remaining defenders in the city and the continuous withdrawal of the effort, Hua Xiong gathered the generals.
"In the battle just now, Yuan Shao lost his troops and lost his general, and even his favorite general Yan Liang was killed.
With his arrogant character, how could he swallow such a breath?
When he gets the news, he will definitely retaliate with all his might.
Our forces do not have an advantage, so we naturally have to avoid their edge. ”
Hua Xiong's words made everyone suddenly realize.
But Liu Yan looked at the white horse city of Nuoda, and said a little reluctantly,
"Such a city, just give it to Yuan Shao, and my subordinates are really a little reluctant."
Hua Xiong said with a smile,
"If you lose your land, you will lose your land; If people lose land, people and land will survive.
We can't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, but we must take a long-term view. ”
Gao Shun couldn't help but sigh.
"The Lord's remarks are always so thought-provoking."
"My subordinates have been taught."
Pound's face was also full of admiration.
At this moment, suddenly a war horse galloped from a distance.
The herald on horseback shouted,
"Frontline Scout Emergency!"
The sergeants on the road gave way to him.
The herald traveled all the way unhindered and came to Hua Xiong and the others.
As soon as he pulled the reins, he rolled over and jumped down without waiting for the horse to stop.
"My lord, there's an urgent report from the front-line scouts!"
Hua Xiong took the letter from his hand, looked at it carefully, and frowned slightly.
"Lord, what did the scout find?"
Guo Jia asked with concern.
Hua Xiong glanced at them and said softly,
"Yuan Shao's army is about to cross the Yellow River!"
Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.
They didn't expect Yuan Shao's army to come so quickly!
"Lord, the three military divisions, Yuan Shao's troops have more cavalry, what should we do?"
Gao Shun was a little nervous.
Although in the battle just now, his side won a complete victory, and he also killed Yan Liang.
But the losses of Yuan's army were not worth mentioning compared to the army of more than 200,000.
The enemy has an absolute superiority in strength, and under such circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to fight hard.
However, if you want to retreat, most of Yuan's army are cavalry, and it is easy to be pursued.
Faced with such an unsolvable situation, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Li Ru were suddenly at a loss.
"My lord, what are your plans?"
Guo Jia said with a wry smile.
"Of course I have a clever plan." Hua Xiong smiled mysteriously, "Although you retreat, the white horse can be left to me alone." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but be taken aback.
"Lord, are you going to stay in White Horse by yourself?"
"That's not going to work!"
Hua Xiong shook his head and smiled,
"Don't worry, I'm sure in my heart."
Zhou Cangyi behind him gritted his teeth, stepped forward and stiffened his neck and said,
"Lord, I am your personal guard, it is impossible to leave you, you just let me stay."
Hua Xiong groaned slightly, nodded and said,
"It's okay, except for Zhou Cang, everyone else left the white horse!"
Seeing that his attitude was so resolute, everyone didn't know what to say for a while.
Guo Jia thought about it and chuckled,
"Let's not worry about the lord, when has he ever done something that he is not sure of?"
Everyone was right to think about it.
Since getting acquainted with Hua Xiong, I have never seen him suffer a loss.
Thinking like this, everyone will be relieved.
"Lord, then we'll go."
Gao Shun was a little reluctant.
"Alright, get out of here."
Hua Xiong waved his hand and scolded with a smile.
"Zhou Cang, you kid must protect the lord."
Pound admonished.
"Don't worry, I'll be covered."
Zhou Cang patted his chest and said.
Hua Xiong and Zhou Cangmu sent Guo Jia and his party away.
"Lord, tell me what your plan is."
Zhou Cang was impatient.
"My plan is very simple, you only need to open the four gates and help me prepare a lute on the wall of the north gate."
Hua Xiong said with a smile.
Zhou Cang was stunned, "Gone?" ”
"It's gone." Hua Xiong nodded affirmatively.
Zhou Cang suddenly cried and laughed,
"Lord, what kind of plan are you, can it be that you can scare off Yuan Shao's 200,000 men?"
"You do it yourself."
Hua Xiong had an unfathomable smile on his face.
Zhou Cang had no choice but to take the order.
……
The mighty Yuan army is crossing the Yellow River one after another.
Yuan Shao rode a high-headed horse, his face was pale.
Chun Yuqiong and Guo Tu behind him had gloomy faces and didn't dare to say a word.
When Chun Yuqiong's sneak attack on Yanjin was unsuccessful and Yan Liang was attacked, they each sent messengers to report the battle situation to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao, who was in the rear, heard the news, how could he still sit still?
If Yan Liang of the vanguard army is defeated, it will not only lose the troops, but also hit the morale of the army.
So Yuan Shao immediately ordered the army to force the Yellow River!
However, as soon as Yuan Shao crossed the Yellow River, the defeated army of Chun Yuqiong and Guo Tu fled back in disgrace.
Yan Liang was killed, and more than 20,000 soldiers were killed in battle.
How could such news not make Yuan Shao furious?
God knows how much concentration Yuan Shao had, so he didn't let people cut off the heads of Chun Yuqiong and Guo Tu.
Seeing that his troops had crossed the river,
Yuan Shao took a few deep breaths and said in a deep voice,
"Wen Chou!"
"The last general!"
A black-faced man walked out of the crowd, it was Yuan Shao's general Wen Chou.
"You lead your sergeants, as the vanguard of our army, and immediately rush to Baima!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Wen Chou's eyes were full of bloodlust and coldness, and he said angrily,
"I must have cut Hua Xiong with my own hands to avenge my big brother Yan Liang!"
He has a good relationship with Yan Liang and can be called an irreversible friend.
Hearing that Yan Liang was killed by Hua Xiong, he couldn't wait to dismantle Hua Xiong into eight pieces.
"Wen Chou, don't be impulsive!" Yuan Shao shouted lightly, "Yan Liang is not here, and I feel very uncomfortable in my heart, but I can't fall for Huaxiong's tricks because of this!" ”
"Yes, my lord."
Wen Chou nodded heavily.
"Go ahead."
Yuan Shao waved his hand.
Wen Chou quickly ordered the 30,000 cavalry under his command and hurried along the road towards the white horse.
In less than two sticks of incense, Wen Chou led people to the foot of White Horse City.
But when he saw White Horse City, he couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw that the gates of the city were wide open, and when I looked from the outside and looked inward, there was no one inside.
And at the top of the wall above the city gate, a man of great figure and handsome appearance sat upright.
There was a lute in front of him, and the incense burner next to him was emitting green smoke.
Behind it, stood a rugged-looking man.
Wen Chou frowned, beckoned to call a few scouts.
"Go around and find out what's going on, but don't enter the city at will!"
"Yes, General!"
Several of the scouts quickly took the order, and in a few moments they all turned back.
"General, there is no ambush around the white horse."
"The four gates were wide open, and there was not a single figure in sight."
The scout reported.
"Got it, go down."
Wen Chou waved his hand, but his brows were twisted into a Sichuan character.
