Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1121 Ready to wait, who is the oriole?

It is only fifty miles away from Tongguan, located on the south bank of the Yellow River, in a hidden valley.

Because this is the mouth of a river channel, and the direction of the official road is a bit roundabout, so this place has become a blind spot. Even if scouts come and go, they seldom explore such blind spots.

This is the place Li Ru had already found.

The Xiliang army withdrew from Tongguan. Even if the bait of the emperor was thrown, the remnant soldiers would definitely be hunted down and beaten. At this time, they had to find a place to hide, and many people could not imagine that they would be so close to Tongguan .

That's why it's dark under the lights.

It is estimated that everyone thought that the remnants of Xiliang had fled so far. It was absolutely unexpected that the remnants of Xiliang were still hiding in a valley only fifty miles away from Tongguan.

Because once discovered, they are absolutely dead.

It was precisely this that allowed them to escape the search and get a temporary rest.

After a few days, the remnant Xiliang soldiers did not dare to start a fire or make any noise, so they could only rest quietly.

After this battle, they had less than [-] remnants of soldiers, and there was not much medical support these days, and some wounded soldiers couldn't stand it anymore, and died all over the place.

After a final count, there were only more than [-] soldiers.

Li Que's department and Guo Si's department were seriously injured.

But the price paid is worth it. Now let's see if the lord Dong Zhuo can catch them all. As long as he wins this battle, not to mention the whole Guanzhong, but the whole world, who will dare to confront Xiliang again.

This is a power and influence.

"Report!"

A scout rushed in, walked up to Li Ru, and said, "Report to General Zhonglang. Yesterday, my main force in Xiliang began to attack the coalition forces. The main force of Cao's army was defeated in World War I. Cao's army was forced to gather its troops and go west to hide!"

"it is good!"

Li Ru laughed loudly, and said: "Cao Jun is the main force of the coalition forces, defeating Cao Jun is equivalent to winning the battle, why should we fear it!"

Even with his heart, he couldn't help laughing at this moment.

"My lord won?"

"It's not worth our sacrifice!"

Both Li Que and Guo Si were a little happy.

"Two generals, go and assemble your ministries immediately, the generals of each ministries, and prepare to go out and join the lord!" Li Ru said: "In this battle, we have laid the foundation of Guanzhong. In the future, no one will dare to say that we Xiliang barbarians are unworthy Locked in!"

"promise!"

The two excitedly went to order soldiers to travel.

…………

Below the mountain, the sun is a little harsh.

Xu Rong and a group of Xiliang generals were waiting peacefully, and each of the Xiliang generals was quite elated at this moment.

It was Xu Rong.

There was an inexplicable sense of uneasiness.

By noon, there was no news from the mountain, which made Xu Rong even more worried.

He summoned all the generals to join the camp, and said in a low voice: "My lord is going up the mountain alone, is there anything wrong with it, why don't we send scouts to investigate?"

"Why worry!"

Dong Yu is a member of the Dong clan. Although he is not very close, he is still loved in front of Dong Zhuo. Even if he is only a school lieutenant, he dares to argue against a general-level general. Son of Heaven, how dare you have intentions for him!"

"What are you saying!"

"The prestige of the Grand Master will be feared by the whole world, what can the little emperor do!"

All the generals are now very proud. After all, they have won such a big victory, and they already have the pride of being invincible in Xiliang in their hearts.

Xu Rong took a deep breath and could only settle down and wait for news.

After another two hours, the sun had already begun to slant westward. At this time, there was still no news on the mountain. Xu Rong felt that something was wrong. The Grand Master was not a patient person.

It's either settled, or turned upside down...

If it is negotiated.

At this time, the grand master had already descended the mountain triumphantly.

Now that they are still on the mountain, there is only one possibility, and that is the collapse of the conversation.

But something is wrong.

Even if the Son of Heaven holds soldiers and horses in his hands, but the grand master is brave and brave, and there is a fierce general like Lu Bu by his side, it is impossible to keep him, even if he is under house arrest, he can't help it, how can he stay on the mountain.

"problem occurs!"

Xu Rong is not the most outstanding general in Xiliang, but he is indeed a very stable one. He can succeed the position of the flying bear rider, partly because of Dong Zhuo's trust, and more because of his ability to conquer Dong Zhuo.

His reaction was quick: "Come on!"

"exist!"

"Pass down my military order, summon the flying bear cavalry, never leave the horse, never leave the soldiers, prepare for battle at any time, and let all the generals of Xiliang prepare for the battle, there must be no loss!"

"Yes!"

"In addition, immediately send flying cavalry to inquire about the situation on the mountain, and determine the location of the lord as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

………………

In the distance, someone had been watching the situation in the Xiliang camp, and seeing the sudden change in the Xiliang camp caught his attention.

"Your Majesty, it seems that someone in Xiliang has become suspicious!"

Lu Bu cupped his hands and said.

"Then let's do it!"

Liu Xie originally wanted to wait until dark before taking action, annihilating the main force of Xiliang in one fell swoop, so as to eliminate future troubles, but he did not expect that Dong Zhuo's death made Xiliang generals react a little bit, so he had to act first.

"promise!"

Lu Bu took the order.

Holding Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand, and the red rabbit and BMW under his crotch, he personally leads the army.

"Sima Fang, Yang Xun, Zheng Gongye!"

"exist!"

They are all ministers of the royalist party, and they are also the people who hold the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.

"Lead the army, and attack accordingly. Be sure to annihilate the main force of Xiliang, lift up this head, and frighten them. Those who can accept surrender can accept surrender!" Emperor Liu Xie threw Dong Zhuo's head out, and said flatly.

At this moment, he has a trace of the dignity of the emperor and the self-confidence of strategizing.

"promise!"

The three led the troops out.

……

Tatata! ! ! !

Suddenly a light horse rushed in, and the scouts jumped off their horses, knelt in front of Xu Rong, cupped their hands and said, "General, something is wrong. The lieutenant was beheaded, and the entire army of three thousand soldiers was wiped out!"

"Bingzhou Army?"

Xu Rong's pupils changed color, he stared at the scouts, gritted his teeth, and asked, "Did you see the general clearly?"

"It's Lu Bu!"

"How could this be?"

Xu Rong's face paled.

At this moment, he realized that Dong Zhuo was probably in danger.

"General, why don't we kill and go up the mountain!"

A lieutenant general said: "Just welcome back the lord..."

"What if you can't welcome back the lord?"

Xu Rong said gloomyly.

Dong Zhuo would either be under house arrest, but with Dong Zhuo's arrogant and fierce personality, how could he allow himself to be under house arrest? This is a hero who would rather die than survive.

"withdraw!"

Xu Rong made a decisive decision. He directly ordered: "Order all the ministries to gather towards my flying bear cavalry and then withdraw troops to the rear. Our department is responsible for breaking the rear!"

What he holds in his hand is the most elite flying bear cavalry.

Even the Bingzhou Army dared to resist.

........................

The battle in Guanzhong intensified.

In the middle of the storm, the situation is unpredictable.

And outside the battlefield, it is also unpredictable.

Countless scouts stared at the main force of the Mu army, which was still around Chang'an. However, at this time, no one knew that Huang Zhong had returned from Xiliang, and the main force he personally led had quietly settled in Jingzhao and Hongnong border.

You can enter Hongnong at any time and intervene in this battle.

But without Mu Jing's military order, Huang Zhong would naturally not move.

The main force led by Huang Zhong is the Nanzhong Army. The Nanzhong Army was originally established from Nanzhong. It gathered the strength of various ministries in Nanzhong, and the main force of the barbarian army. After the battle in Xiliang, the combat effectiveness has been improved. Not a lot.

Of course, it was not the large-scale deployment of the South Central Army, but only the three battalions with a main force of less than [-].

But if you add Huang Zhong as the chief general and Chen Gong as the deputy general, then the strength of this force is self-evident.

"We've been here for two days, and we still haven't figured out the environment in front of us?" In the dense forest, there are green tents all around, as if blending with the color of the forest. It is difficult to find that there is a soldier and horse camping here.

In the tent, Huang Zhong's tall body stood beside a brand-new sand table. The terrain on the sand table was very clear, but no matter how clear it was, it was only a topographic map. The specific battlefield situation and less and less news made Huang Zhong Some worries.

"I've already sent more scouts, and I've also put pressure on Jing Wusi. They have tried their best. Now that the battlefield is already a storm, even if they find out the news, they may not be able to send it out! "

Chen Gong said with a wry smile: "We have to wait!"

"If we wait like this, I'm afraid we'll miss out on good opportunities!" Huang Zhong pointed to the sand table and said, "We only know that the Xiliang Army lost Tongguan a few days ago, but after losing Tongguan, we found nothing. Who is blocking this place?" What about the news?"

"Not Xiliang?"

"Are you sure!"

"I'm not sure. If there is an ambush in Xiliang, it makes sense for them to block the news!"

"Then what do you think is the most likely possibility!"

"The battlefield is unpredictable, and everyone has their own intentions. Even the lord felt tremendous pressure. That's why we were secretly dispatched from Xiliang, and we had to be reduced to zero, and then reduced to zero." Complete, quietly intervene in the battlefield!"

Chen Gong analyzed: "Could it be that the other princes didn't plan, maybe, although the lord is gifted by heaven, the princes of the world must not be underestimated!"

"The more you talk, the more confused I become!"

Huang Zhongdao: "I do know one thing, we can't just wait like this now, we still need to make some moves, at least we have to get closer to the battlefield, once the battlefield changes, we can react faster!"

"Ok!"

Chen Gong recognized this point.

"Come here, let Meng Huo come to see me!"

"Yes!"

The personal soldiers quickly sent an order to let Meng Huo, a fierce general of the South Central Army, come to the main camp of the Central Army.

"Meng Huo pays his respects to the general!"

Meng Huo is a barbarian king, he is rebellious, even if he submits to Mu Jing, he has his own thoughts, but in front of Huang Zhong, he dare not be presumptuous.

In the world of warriors, the strong are respected.

Huang Zhongzhi was stronger than Meng Huo imagined. He never imagined that there would be such a powerful warrior in the Central Plains. The two fought each other on land without riding a horse, and Huang Zhong could catch his weapon with his bare hands.

If he was riding a horse, Huang Zhong could defeat him within fifty rounds.

Whether it is martial arts or equestrian skills, he is far inferior to Huang Zhong.

"Meng Huo, now I order you to lead the main force of a battalion to set up camp here within two days without showing any traces. Can you do it?" Huang Zhong pointed to a position on the sand table, Said to Meng Huo.

It was close to Huayin, two hundred miles away from them, it should be a forest,

"First Battalion?"

Meng Huo looked at the topographic map, thought for a while, and said, "It's very difficult to lead a battalion alone, unless you gather the most elite soldiers in the army and use the method of breaking the whole into parts and then breaking them into wholes. Mountain roads and waterways pass through, there is still a chance!"

"Then it's up to you to pick someone!"

Huang Zhongdao: "Three thousand soldiers, whoever you point to is the one, set off within an hour, and station here as soon as possible, and send back any news immediately!"

He didn't dare to move, thinking that his main force had reached its limit here, and if he moved forward, he would definitely be discovered.

"promise!"

Meng Huo took the order.

"This Meng Huo seems to be more obedient recently!" Chen Gong looked at Meng Huo's leaving back, smiled slightly, and said.

"He still has some thoughts!"

Huang Zhongdao: "But I have been suppressed for so long, even a rebellious lion knows how to bow its head. During this period of time, I have fought with him several times, and it was not in vain. This kind of person must With force, you can use him only if you can suppress him, otherwise you will easily lose control!"

"My lord put him under your command, it's the right use!"

Chen Gong said.

....................................

North bank of the Yellow River.

Liu Bei has already joined forces with Guan Yu, and the main force in Youzhou is assembled, ready to cross the river at any time.

"I always feel that something is wrong. The south bank has become a little quiet. It seems that it is time to wait. I am afraid that the news we are waiting for may not be the news we want!"

Liu Bei said, "Second brother, get ready to cross the river!"

"Now?" Guan Yu froze for a moment.

"Now!"

Liu Bei raised his head, and his eyes flashed with elite light: "I feel that it's time to meet the emperor. The purpose of our going south is not to fight, but to meet the emperor!"

"But the news from the south bank is that Tongguan was defeated, and the allied forces of the princes pursued it. I am afraid that the emperor has fallen into the hands of other princes!" Guan Yu said.

"madness!"

Liu Bei said: "If Dong Zhuo was defeated so easily, he wouldn't be Dong Zhuo. At this time, they must still be fighting. I don't know who is better!"

"But even if this is the case, why should we intervene in the battlefield in advance? It is better to wait for them to fight to the death, then go in and clean up the mess!"

"Yun Chang, I don't have such a big appetite, so don't be greedy when you go!"

Liu Bei is a very clear-headed person: "The armies of all the princes are so powerful. Once they feel that our main force is here, the first person to die will definitely not be them, but us!"

He counted a lot.

He took the reactions of the princes from all walks of life into his own calculations. He calculated that the Xiliang Army would not be defeated immediately, and that the war would continue.

But also some miscalculations.

It may be said that many people miscalculated, because they failed to take the factor of the emperor into account, and some consciously regarded the emperor as a useless person, just a bargaining chip to be robbed, which naturally did not count as the current changes on the battlefield.

"Report!"

At this time, a scout came across the river.

"Say, what's the situation?" Liu Bei said impatiently.

"Report to my lord that the main force of Xiliang suddenly came out from the valley in the southeast direction. Cao's army was defeated. Cao Mengde led the remnant soldiers and fled westward. At present, the main force of Xiliang is advancing towards Jiangdong Army and Jizhou Army!"

"Damn!"

Liu Bei's pupils changed color slightly: "I still underestimate this Grand Master Dong!"

He paced back and forth, and quickly had an idea: "Yun Chang, cross the river quickly!"

"Yes!"

Guan Yu suddenly moved quickly.

…………

Hangu Pass.

This place has become lively again since the Bingzhou Army fought a battle here.

The Jizhou army, who had been hiding troops in Beimang for a long time, seized the opportunity and quickly mobilized when the battle in Guanzhong started and no one could take care of the situation in the north. Of course, Yuan Shao did not dare to be too public, so he first dispatched The vanguard went south.

The vanguard army rested during the day and marched at night. After a few days, they had already quietly entered Hangu Pass.

The vanguard general, Wen Chou.

"Explore again!"

In the barracks, Wen Chou read a few reports from the battlefield, and his expression became a little restless. He said to the scout captain: "Give me an hour to report the news, and the news on the battlefield must be reported accurately.

"promise!"

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Immediately send scouts to the north to inform the lord that there has been a change in the battlefield, and let the lord quickly lead the main force to the south to respond!"

"Yes!"
