Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 860 Bai Qi of inaction
Chapter 858: Inaction is in vain
The three families of Cao, Liu and Song attacked the city violently for a total of three days, causing a total of nearly [-] casualties to the Liang army.

Although the coalition forces suffered even more casualties, the three-day onslaught revealed the power and prestige of the coalition forces, and now they have completely overwhelmed the Liang army in terms of momentum.

After that, it is naturally impossible for the coalition forces to continue such a high-intensity siege. After all, the consumption of such a deadly attack without technical content is too great, even if the coalition forces are strong, they still cannot bear it.

Three days later, the coalition forces changed their previous style of attacking both sides, and instead adopted a conservative and calm attacking method. While consuming the supplies of the Liang army defending the city, they also sharpened the strength of the Liang army little by little.

This style of play has indeed greatly reduced casualties, but the disadvantage is that it is more time-consuming and labor-intensive. If this trend continues, it may take the coalition forces a year to completely capture Hulao Pass. This is because the Luoyang reinforcements do not support The premise.

At the same time, the [-] troops commanded by Yuan Shao on the Southeast Road had also successfully arrived at Xuanyuan Pass.

After Yuan Shao arrived, after several days of investigation, he finally found out the details of Xuanyuan Pass.

There are [-] defenders in Xuanyuan Pass, and the guard is Yu Wencheng's father, Yu Wenhuaji. Although the defense of the pass is tight, it still has a gap compared with Hulao Pass.

After clarifying this point, Yuan Shao immediately convened a meeting of princes and issued a decision to break through with all his strength.

During the period, Liu Xiu raised objections, and pointed out that as long as Hulao pass was breached, the three passes of Xuanyuan Guangcheng and Yique would be broken by themselves, so there was no need for a strong attack on his way.

Liu Xiu's point of view goes straight to the core, but Yuan Shao doesn't listen to it at all, because he needs fame and prestige.

When Yuan Shao was under Qin Hao's command before, no matter how Yuan Shao behaved, Qin Hao must still be in the limelight. Now that he has finally left Qin Hao's side, how could Yuan Shao continue to remain silent?

Thinking of him, the fourth generation of the Yuan family and the third son of the family, the old officials are all over the world, and he Yuan Shao is the son of Yuan's eldest son, so how can he serve as a foil for Qin Hao's explosion?
Therefore, Yuan Shao wanted to attack Luoyang ahead of Qin Hao, not only to gain fame and prove himself, but also to slap Qin Hao and the princes in the face, so that those people would understand that it was wrong not to choose him as the leader.

I, Yuan Shao, led the partial army and arrived in Luoyang ahead of the main force. If I were to be the leader, I would definitely do better than Qin Hao. Let you idiots choose Qin Hao instead of me!

Yuan Shao didn't show it on the surface, but in his heart he was still very brooding about Qin Hao stepping on him to ascend to the position of leader.

Qin Hao also knew this very well, so he let Yuan Shao lead the army alone, because Yuan Shao, who was out of the cage, would try his best to break through Xuanyuan Pass.

In this way, the great battle at Xuanyuan Pass also started, and two of the coalition forces divided into three groups have already started fighting, only Guangcheng Pass remained silent.

Guangchengguan is located in the south of Sizhou, at the junction of Yanzhou and Jingzhou, and it is hundreds of miles away from Yanzhou.

Sun Jian set off from Suanzao to lead the army. In addition to detours, he also had to pass through the two counties of Yingchuan and Runan in Yuzhou. It was impossible to arrive without a march of more than a month.

At this time, the Baiqi Department outside Guangcheng Pass also received news of reinforcements.

"The [-] coalition troops who came to support this time will arrive in half a month. The chief general is Sun Jian, the prefect of Wu County, and the deputy general is Qin Siye, the father of General Qin Wu. In addition, there are five princes accompanying him."

Bai Qi put down the intelligence scroll in his hand, then looked at the generals in the hall, and said calmly: "The specific strength of our army is a secret, and it is not suitable to be exposed to the princes at present. Where is Zhou Yu?"

Zhou Yu, who joined Bai Qi's command as he wished, immediately stood up when he heard Bai Qi calling himself, clasped his fists respectfully and said: "The end is here."

"You are ordered to lead an army of [-] troops and withdraw to the Northern Army camp."

The Beijun camp is in Nanyang, a camp dedicated to defending against threats from the northern Sizhou.

Before Zhou Yu could respond, Qin Wu stood up at this moment and said with a displeased face: "General Bai, our army has a total of [-] elite troops who have surrounded Guangcheng Pass for nearly two months, but have not launched an attack yet. If you don’t even shoot an arrow, and return without success like this, wouldn’t the food and grass consumed be wasted?”

From the time when Qin Hao led the army to Huimeng, Bai Qi led [-] elite troops to Guangcheng. However, during the past two months, they have been practicing and have not taken any military action.

The most difficult thing for Qin Wu to understand is that even if Han Qinhu, the guard of Guangcheng Pass, took the initiative to lead the army out of the pass to challenge, Bai Qi would still hang up his exemption card and not fight with him.

[-] elite Qin army, this is not a small number, the lord only brought [-] troops to the alliance.

Bai Qi has such a huge force, if he doesn't make good use of it, he will waste his army rations, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among some generals headed by Qin Wu.

In the past, Qin Wu would never have dared to question Bai Qi, but now he is Bai Qi's lieutenant general, and with the fact that Bai Qi has been doing nothing for two whole months, Qin Wu couldn't bear it any longer, so he said something cheerful .

Seeing this, Zhou Yu said: "General Qin, if we don't withdraw now, the secret of our army's strength will be exposed to the princes, and it may cause unnecessary trouble to the lord."

"It's...it's true."

Qin Wu was immediately discouraged, but then put his head in his hands, and said frantically: "General Bai, if you really have some schemes, it doesn't matter if you can't tell everyone, but do you have them or not?"

At this moment, two handsome young men, one black and one white, broke in. They officially got up from Mo Ya and his younger brother Bai Feng who were seconded from Qin Hao.

"Meet the general." The two saluted in unison.

Then Bai Feng stepped forward and whispered something in Bai Qi's ear, but a wave of waves flashed in Bai Qi's plain eyes.

"Everyone, right and wrong, after half a month, you will know for yourself."

Bai Qi still didn't say it clearly, but there was a deep meaning behind this sentence, which made everyone present cheer up.

Bai Qi is a famous general in the world, and like the lord, he has not lost a battle so far, so doing nothing is not his style at all.

Including Qin Wu and many generals, in fact, they all thought that Bai Qi had a secret plan, but they couldn't say it before the time came. Now that Bai Qi finally spoke, they can let go of their worries
After suffering for more than two months, I can finally do a big job.Qin Wu thought excitedly in his heart.

The [-] troops were withdrawn all at once, so such a big movement could not be concealed from the Liang army.

This move also startled Han Qinhu, thinking that Bai Qi was finally going to attack the city, but later realized that it was the Qin army who had withdrawn.
