Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 993 Dilemma
Nanyang is still shrouded in flames of war.

At this moment, Lu Bu was filled with anger that could not be vented.

He held his breath, sank to his dantian, and concentrated all his strength into a punch, but when he swung the punch, Mu Jun suddenly withdrew, as if he was gathering strength, and punched the air. punch.

This kind of aggrieved made his anger soar.

But at this time, he is still sensible.

Mu Jun's sudden retreat always brought him an unknown sense of tension. He didn't dare to underestimate the leader of Mu Jun, Zhang Liao, the brother who has been playing games since he was a child.

"Your Majesty, the official path has been opened!"

Song Xian came to ask: "Do we need to go south quickly?"

"Stop first!"

After deliberating over and over again, Lu Bu stopped in his tracks.

He couldn't figure out the reason and purpose of Zhang Liao's sudden release of the defense line. He was always worried, and the Bingzhou Army was the capital of his life. He couldn't lose too much of the main force of Bingzhou here.

If that was the case, even if Nanyang was captured, it would be difficult for him to gain a firm position in the Xiliang Group.

"The scouts are all out, ask me clearly why the Mu army retreated, where they retreated, and what is the situation in Wancheng now, and also urge Cao Xing to lead the rear wing soldiers and horses to quickly join our army. Gather my forces, and I will have enough confidence!"

Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

He has no confidence because he has divided his troops. As long as the Bingzhou Army is assembled, he is confident that he can deal with any unexpected situation.

"promise!"

Song Xian immediately went to make arrangements.

………………

At this time, Bingzhou General Gao Shun and Bingzhou Chenglian and Hou Cheng joined forces.

Cheng Lian and Hou Cheng led [-] soldiers and horses, crossed Bowang from Xi'e, and then detoured south, taking the official road from Bowang to Wancheng. It was smooth, but there was a little accident on the way, but they It dragged on for several days.

It is only now that we have arrived at the northern suburbs and joined Gaoshun, but it is already too late.

Gao Shun felt a little regretful.

In the past few days, he felt that the Mu army had successfully entered Wancheng. The large-scale troops of the Mu army entered Wancheng. Naturally, the scouts could not hide it, and the Mu army had no intention of hiding it from him. .

For the current Bingzhou army, Wancheng is already very difficult to capture. Even if Lu Bu's main force goes south in person, there is probably little hope.

After all, the Bingzhou army is not very proficient in siege warfare, and the siege equipment is also very lacking.

What the Bingzhou Army is really proficient in is plain warfare.

"What should we do now?" Cheng Lian stood by the river, looking into the distance, looking at the majestic North City of Wancheng in the distance, his eyes were gloomy.

"Stop first!"

Gao Shun thought for a while, and said: "I have already sent someone to rush the news to Junhou. Whether to fight or withdraw, the Junhou needs to decide in person!"

"If we fight, do we have a chance to take this city?"

"If it's just the Guanzhong Army's soldiers and horses defending the city, it will naturally be able to fight. For example, if we attack the Mu army and stick to the city, even if we have twice as many troops, we will not be able to defeat this city!" Gao Shun shook his head.

After thinking for a while, he said: "It's too careless, I thought that even if the Guanzhong Army didn't deal with us, we would still be in the same formation, so even if they didn't let us go into the city, they wouldn't dedicate the city to Mu. Jun, I didn't expect Huangfu Yin to be so decisive, he directly dedicated Wancheng to Mu Jun, and I don't know what kind of favorable conditions Mu Jun gave them!"

"It's useless to say these now!" Hou Cheng has always been a cautious person, he became a little vigilant, and said: "Now that the Mu army has captured Wancheng, will they not be satisfied with this, and even go out of the city to besiege us? ?”

"It's not impossible!"

Gao Shun suddenly became cautious, and he thought for a while: "Why don't we abandon the current camp and retreat ten miles one after another. The terrain still looks a little dangerous. Once the two openings on the left and right are wrapped up, our road can be sealed off. Avoiding the siege of us by the terrain on the left and right, even if their shepherds intend to attack us, we can guarantee a continuous retreat, can be attacked and accepted, and can advance and retreat freely!"

"That's a good idea!"

"It's right to be cautious. Our Bingzhou Army only has this strength, so we can't make any mistakes!"

Cheng Lian and Hou Chengcheng agreed.

Half an hour later, the main force of the Bingzhou Army began to retreat, withdrew from the current camp, and retreated in a straight line for about a dozen miles, and camped on a rocky beach by the Feishui River.

………………

"Has the Bingzhou army withdrawn?" Although the Mu army entered the city smoothly, it was busy enough to hand over the defense.

In fact, it's not that Xi Zhicai never thought of using Wancheng to lure the Bingzhou army outside the city to Shangdang, but any action has risks, and it is easy to cause other people's counter-calculations.

Ten birds in the forest are worse than one bird in the hand.

The current Wancheng is crucial to the core of the strategic deployment of the Minghou Mansion, and nothing can be lost.

Therefore, he would rather lose this opportunity than Xi Zhicai would use Nawan City as bait.

In addition, there is no need for the Mu army to become deadly enemies with the Bingzhou army.

It is not very important that Lu Bu cannot get Nanyang, but if all Lu Bu's forwards are wiped out here, then Nanyang is destined to be a bloody battlefield, an endless hell.

This is not what Xi Zhi wants to see.

It was not what the Minghou Mansion wanted to see.

Let's put it this way, now that Wancheng is in hand, most of Nanyang belongs to the Minghou Mansion. No one wants to fight on their own territory. It is best to drive them out and fight again.

So Huangfu Yin Xiancheng surrendered, and Xi Zhicai took over Wancheng as soon as possible. Besides, as long as Wancheng is well defended, this Nanyang, not to mention the Bingzhou army, even if the main force of Guanzhong kills him, he will not be afraid.

However, Xi Zhicai was busy with taking over the city, and he didn't forget to station the vanguard of the Bingzhou Army in the northern suburbs. He deliberately wanted to calculate that Zhanhu Camp and Wuxi Camp had been marching for two consecutive days.

Give him a little more time, even if he can't be wiped out, at least he can be severely frustrated.

But unexpectedly, the Bingzhou army reacted so quickly and voluntarily withdrew from the northern suburbs, making the Mu army's arrangement all of a sudden come to nothing.

"Where did you retreat to?"

"About ten miles away on a rocky beach!"

"Where should the scouts stare first? If you meet their scouts, it's okay to fight. As for the main force..." Xi Zhicai thought for a while, and was also hesitating whether to fight before they retreated, but in the end it was okay. Give up this idea: "Let Wuxi Camp and Zhanhu Camp withdraw first!"

"promise!"

The orderly went quickly to deliver the order.

"Ordinances and orders are prohibited. After entering the city, Qiu will not commit any crimes!"

Huangfu Yinshi walked out from the inner hall, looked at Xi Zhicai, and said calmly: "I finally understand where the Mu army's combat power comes from!"

"Everyone in the world says that the Mujun's combat effectiveness is strong, but our Mujun's strongest strength is not its combat effectiveness, but its discipline!" Xi Zhicai said proudly: "Our Mujun's military law is as important as Mount Tai. , are unforgivable, and this has resulted in the strong combat effectiveness of our herding army!"

"admire!"

Huangfu Yin said: "If you let Guan Zhongjun fight you again, maybe it won't be the same result as before?"

"That depends on who will lead the army!" Xi Zhicai said, "Huangfusong will personally lead the army, plus the Guanzhong Army's powerful battle, even if we Mujun, the odds of winning will not exceed [-]%!"

"You can see Huangfu Yizhen so highly!"

"After all, I have suffered a lot!"

"That's right!" Huangfu Yin nodded: "Back then in Wuguan, you played tricks on the princes of the Guandong and the main force of Xiliang, but they fell into the hands of Huangfu Yizhen, and Minghou almost had no chance of making a comeback. It is normal for you to be afraid of him after he died!"

"Guess what Huangfusong is thinking at this time?" Xi Zhicai asked.

"If I knew, I wouldn't guard the house for him and be betrayed by him!" Huangfu Yin said bitterly.

"No matter what he wants to do, there will be news soon!"

Xi Zhicai said lightly.

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

The news from Nanyang was transmitted very quickly, and the situation here in Wancheng had already reached Lu Bu in a short time.

"No wonder he, Zhang Wenyuan, dared to give up his defense. It turns out that Wancheng has already got it. Now it's not him, but us. Damn it!"

Lu Bu's face was a little dark.

Huangfu Yin's defection caught him by surprise.

As for the Bingzhou Army and the Guanzhong Army, although they were not friendly, they still ate in the same pot. Logically speaking, the Bingzhou Army did not turn their backs first. They just stationed troops in Yuzhou before.

The key point is that Huangfusong didn't give them a chance to turn their backs, so they didn't have the oriole behind them, and they didn't send troops to Runan Shouchun to collect the fisherman's profit, so there should be a layer of shame between them and the Guanzhong army.

Moreover, he entered Nanyang this time under the banner of aid. Logically, he and Guan Zhongjun were in the same group.

However, Huangfu Yin rebelled at this time.

"Huangfuyin dares to join the Mujun at this time, isn't he afraid that Huangfusong will settle accounts with him?" Song Xian was a little confused about this, so he asked Lu Bu: "Even Huangfusong himself is not easy to explain!"

"I'm afraid they never thought about explaining!"

Lu Bu said gloomyly: "Guan Zhongjun has been forced to this position, so it's hard to guarantee that he won't have any ideas. At this time, Huangfusong may not care about the grand master's ideas!"

"He's going to rebel?" Cao Xing led his army to meet Lu Bu yesterday evening. He stood on Lu Bu's left side, and his expression was not very good-looking. Compared with generals like Song Xian, he was still a cunning general. A little more.

"do not know!"

Lu Bu shook his head and let out a long sigh: "What Huangfu Song thinks, the Grand Master has to worry about it, but now we have been put into Nanyang, and it seems that it is difficult to advance or retreat!"

"Your Majesty, something is wrong...!"

A fast horse came from Yuzhou Erlang, and the soldier rushed in panting.

"what happened?"

"Yuzhou, Yuzhou..." The soldier calmed down for a long time before he calmed down, and reported: "The Mu army has attacked Yuzhou. Our soldiers staying in Yuzhou have been defeated. The soldiers in Xu County may not be able to stop them for how long?"

"How many troops do they have?"

"Not many, about one battalion, up to [-] soldiers and horses, but the surprise attack is so fast that we have no time to defend!"

"Zhang Wenyuan has already divided up his troops in Runan!" Lu Bu suddenly understood: "He thinks so far, first pestering us in Nanyang, and then attacking Yuzhou by surprise, so we can't take care of both ends!"

"Then what should we do now?"

"I'll think about it!"

Lu Bu paced back and forth, feeling a little irritable in his thoughts.

Abandoning Nanyang, not reconciled?

But Yuzhou can't be ignored. Yuzhou, which they won with great difficulty, is much more important than Nanyang. Even if the Mu army can't defend Yuzhou in the end, their army can go in and show off their might, and they can turn Yuzhou upside down.
