I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 529, Household Dog

On the battlefield, Huanglong stood on a small hill on the battlefield, looking at Yuan Tanjun, who was surrendering to his subordinates not far away, in a very comfortable mood. Although the results of the battle have not yet been fully counted, Liu Bei's Han coalition army only had a small defeat and a victory. The problem of a big defeat is over, and Yuan Tan's forces have been completely damaged. It can be said that the war in Yuzhou can finally come to an end.

Li Ru ran over at this time and said with a smile: "General, except for thousands of people fleeing from Yuan Tan's [-]-strong army, the rest of the soldiers were all captured by us. The casualties of our army are very small, only a few hundred people!"

Behind him, there are two strong men looking at Huang Long seriously!

Huang Long smiled and said, "I think the two are General Hu Zhen and General Zhang Ji!"

The two immediately clasped their fists together and saluted: "I dare not call you a general in front of General Huang!"

Looking at the two of them, Huang Long felt a strange fate. Back then, the Central Army of the Han Dynasty defeated the Yellow Turban Army steadily, and only the army led by Dong Zhuo was defeated by their Yellow Turban Army (this made Dong Zhuo unconvinced. He did not enter the Central Plains battlefield at all, and only brought a few cronies to Jizhou. The Northern Army general refused to accept him as a barbarian from Xiliang, which made him lose the battle!)
Strictly speaking, he has grudges against the Yellow Turban Army and other armies of the big Han, but he has no hatred for Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army. After they took refuge in Xu Wei, they kept fighting against Dong Zhuo. They have always been victors, so naturally they don't Forget those soldiers!

After sighing, Huang Long asked: "You two generals, what are your plans for the future?"

Hu Zhen said: "I have fought all my life, and I don't want to leave the army. Besides, Wang Yun, Yang Biao, and Lu Bu are still alive. I want to kill them with my own hands to avenge the prime minister!"

Huang Long said: "I will let you enter the Dagan Military Academy as suggested by the ruling party, but whether it will succeed or not depends on the meaning of the ruling party!"

Hu Zhen saluted and said, "Thank you, General!"

Then Huanglong looked at Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji thought for a while and said, "I'm already old and weak. When I went to Sichuan, I wanted to take care of myself, but I didn't expect Liu Bei to fight there. Now I just want to live in Hebei, but I have a nephew named Zhang Xiu. He is born with supernatural power and extraordinary bravery, if the general does not dislike him, he can be made to serve the general!"

Huang Long said with a smile: "That's easy to say, I also recommend him to go to the Dagan Military Academy!"

With Huang Long's affirmation, both Hu Zhen and Zhang Ji heaved a sigh of relief.

Then Hu Zhen looked at the captured soldiers and said, "It's a pity that people like Yuan Tan and Xu You escaped, otherwise we would have completely wiped out Yuan Tan's forces this time!"

This is what Hu Zhen is most dissatisfied with. This time is the best chance to kill Yuan Tan, but he did not kill Yuan Tan. If he wants to find such a chance to kill Yuan Tan in the future, he will have to wait until Xiangyang City is conquered. !

Huang Long said nonchalantly: "We wiped out the last elite in Yuan Tan's hands. Even if he fled to Jingzhou now, he is just a lost dog and has lost the capital to fight for world hegemony. It can be said that after this battle, Yuan Tan will be able to fight for the world. No longer a prince along the way."

Li Ru nodded with a smile, then looked at Nanfang and said, "I just don't know if Song Yi and the others can catch Liu Bei. If Liu Bei is caught, our big army might be able to take advantage of the situation to attack Xiangyang. If the little emperor is caught , you will truly become the lord of the world if you are in power!"

Huang Long also looked towards the south, but said with little hope: "We haven't even caught Yuan Tan, but if we want to catch Liu Bei, I'm afraid it will be very difficult! It depends on whether Song Yi and the others have this luck."

It is very difficult to catch a general these days, especially in the wild, not to mention that Liu Bei is good at escaping. It is even more difficult to catch him without the protection of thousands of soldiers!
At the same time, Song Yi led a large number of cavalry to chase Liu Bei's army all the way, but Zhao Yun led the army to block Song Yi's cavalry layer by layer. In addition, there are many rivers along this road, which seriously affected the pursuit speed of the cavalry. Song Yi's cavalry had no Catch up with Liu Bei's army.

But Song Yi and the others did not gain anything. Liu Bei moved quickly and was difficult to pursue. Song Yi could only change the target of attack and attack Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei and his Hanzhong army were not only insufficiently trained, but also foreign troops. The marching speed was far inferior to Liu Bei's army. Although they retreated first, they were caught up by Song Yi instead.

Then Song Yi led 2 cavalry to rush forward, and Zhang Wei led 2 Han Zhongjun. The only thing the soldiers could do was to raise their hands and surrender. Zhang Lu's [-] troops were easily captured by Song Yi.

And when Song Yi finished arresting Zhang Wei's army, Liu Bei's army had all hid in Luyang City, and this was already the territory of Nanyang County in Jingzhou. Was ambushed by Liu Bei, just when Song Yi wanted to retreat, at this time Yang Feng led an army of 5 to Luyang!
Seeing Song Yi, Yang Feng was surprised and said, "Aren't you confronting the Han coalition forces, why did you come to Luyang?"

Song Yi laughed and said, "I came to Luyang City after chasing Liu Bei!"

Then Song Yi told Yang Feng about the battle a few days ago!
Yang Feng was surprised and said: "Brother Huanglong defeated Liu Bei's [-] Han coalition army by himself?"

Liu Bei has always been their biggest enemy, and has repeatedly formed the Han coalition to fight against them. Such a powerful enemy has always been an opponent in power. Now he heard that Huanglong had defeated Liu Bei. How can this not be allowed? Yang Feng was surprised!

Song Yi laughed and said, "Now Liu Bei is in Luyang City with more than 3 remnants of defeated soldiers. How can this not be true!"

Yang Feng said happily: "It would be great if Liu Bei was really in Luyang City. If we break through Luyang City and kill Liu Bei, maybe we can directly take Xiangyang City and destroy the small court of Xiangyang!"

Xu Huang beside Yang Feng also said, "Liu Bei is now retreating in a panic, his strength has been greatly damaged, and the city is full of defeated soldiers. The morale is low, the morale of the army is lax, and the exhaustion of the body and mind is on the verge of collapse. At this time, we attack In Luyang City, the odds are great."

Originally, they just wanted to take the opportunity to cut off Liu Bei's retreat, but they didn't expect to block Liu Bei here.

Fortunately, Yang Feng and the others had just marched to Luyang City, knowing that the soldiers were exhausted, so he first set up camp in Luyang City, planning to attack Luyang tomorrow!
Divide the words!

Yang Feng and the others are beaming, but Liu Bei's atmosphere is heavy here!
Zhang Fei said helplessly to everyone: "I have found out clearly that the army that came later is Yang Feng's army. After they conquered Luoyang City, they wanted to stop us from attacking Luyang City later. This army probably has 4 to 5 people, now there are almost 6 to 7 troops under Luyang City, of which 2 are cavalry!"

Yuan Ji said firmly: "The general can't stay here. Our army must continue to retreat, at least to Wancheng. Relying on the strong fortifications of Wancheng and the Jingzhou navy, we can fight against the big army. , If we continue to stay in Luyang now, if we are chased by hundreds of thousands of troops from the Dagan Army, our more than 3 soldiers will definitely be wiped out.

Moreover, the general may not be able to rush out of Luyang. At that time, the imperial court will have no leader and no one will command the army. Even if the imperial court has hundreds of thousands of troops, it will be difficult to display their full strength. Maybe Lei Gong will take the opportunity to conquer Xiangyang City. If not, the world of the big man will really be occupied by Lei Gong! "

Zhang Fei immediately stood up and said, "Brother Yuan Changshi is right. The younger brother will stay here for the elder brother to kill. The elder brother will follow Zilong and the others to leave now. If it is too late, Luyang will be completely surrounded by the big army!"

Liu Bei also knows that now is not the time to be hypocritical, only when he breaks out of the encirclement of the Dagan army, can he command the Dahan's army to rescue Zhang Fei!
So that night, while Yang Feng and the others were still resting, Liu Bei, Zhao Yun and other dozens of generals and hundreds of guards fled Luyang City in the dark!

When Yang Feng found out about this and sent cavalry to pursue Liu Bei, he lost Liu Bei because he was not familiar with the geography of Nanyang County and the mountain range along which Liu Bei escaped was not suitable for cavalry combat.

Song Yi's cavalry chased all the way to Wancheng, but at this time Liu Bei had already entered Wancheng, and the Jingzhou navy also transported a large number of Jingzhou troops to station in Wancheng.

Song Yi was also trying to surround Wancheng, but at this time Liu Bei kept mobilizing troops from all walks of life in Jingzhou to support Nanyang County. Song Yi saw more and more soldiers and horses in Wancheng every day, and soon he discovered that it was not he who surrounded Liu Bei now It's not, but his 2 cavalry should be careful to be surrounded by Liu Bei!Seeing that Liu Bei could not be killed and was in danger of being surrounded, Song Yi could only lead the cavalry and retreat to Luyang!
When Song Yi returned to Luyang, Huanglong's army had already joined Yang Feng's army, and a large army of more than 3 troops had completely blocked the encirclement of Luyang!However, Zhang Fei is not easy to deal with. He has more than [-] Jingzhou Army elites in his hands. Luyang is also the location of the Jingzhou Army's granary. There is no shortage of granaries and weapons in the city, not even artillery.

At the same time, Luyang is also the front line of Jingzhou. In order to defend against Xu Wei's attack, Liu Bei has continuously reinforced Luyang City as early as several years ago. It can be said that although Luyang City is not as strong as Luoyang City, it is not much worse. It is more than a hundred times more difficult than Luoyang City.

After Huang Long and Yang Feng met, they tentatively attacked Luyang City several times, but they didn't take advantage of it!After Song Yi came back, they found to their dismay that they didn't even catch Liu Bei.

At the same time, Song Yi warned: "Wancheng is constantly gathering troops these days. When I left, it already surpassed 6 troops. It seems that it is not impossible for Liu Bei to gather [-] troops. We have to be careful!"

Yang Feng was surprised and said: "Liu Bei wanted to support Yuan Tan. He risked his life and borrowed Zhang Lu's food and grass to send 5 troops. Now he can get food and grass for hundreds of thousands of troops?"

At this time, Li Ru sneered and said: "The generals have forgotten that Nanyang County is the emperor's hometown of my great Han. How could such a place lack food and grass? In the past, our big army was still in Yanzhou, thousands of miles away. Worried about my own property, but now that my army has entered Nanyang County, how can the local aristocrats not worry? Let's drive out of Nanyang County, or else these elite families will have trouble sleeping and eating!"

Xu Huang felt strange and said: "Since Jingzhou is not short of food and grass, why didn't these elites help Liu Bei before? If Liu Bei led an army of hundreds of thousands to support Yuan Tan, I'm afraid we would have to pay a lot of money to annex Yuzhou!"

Li Ru sneered: "These elites are housekeeper dogs and have no foresight at all. Asking them to use their property to support Yuan Tan is simply a dream, but if they are allowed to protect their property and fields, they will go bankrupt." Yes, not all the nobles in the Central Plains are like this, even though they know how our big army treats them, they are still reluctant to leave their hometown."

Yang Feng said helplessly: "Although these people are the dogs of the household, if Liu Bei has more than [-] troops in his hands, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to conquer Nanyang County!"

Nanyang County is not only a basin, but also has many rivers, which are very unfriendly to the cavalry. The reason why Song Yi can't catch up with Liu Bei is that there are mountains and rivers blocking the road. It is difficult for his cavalry to give full play to their advantages in Nanyang County!
Huang Long also followed helplessly and said: "In this situation, we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to break into Nanyang County, and even Luyang City. We should stand still here and wait for the ruling army to come."

Everyone found out that this was the best way, so they passed the information here to Xu Wei who was released later.

In Jingzhou, after Liu Bei came to Wancheng, in addition to forcing all parties to support food and supplies, he also mobilized the entire army of Nanyang County to rescue Zhang Fei who was defending in Luyang.

And the powerful clan in Nanyang County is also uncharacteristically. Their request to Liu Bei can be said to be money and people. The big army drove out.

It's so frightening. Two months ago, Lei Gong's army was thousands of miles away. In the blink of an eye, Lei Gong actually rushed to their hometown, which is not bad.

It can be said that the nobles and nobles in the entire Nanyang County are frightened. They searched everywhere and found that the only thing they can rely on now is Liu Bei, the down-and-out clan they looked down on before.

Therefore, while helping Liu Bei to prepare food, supplies and an army, the nobles and nobles of Nanyang County took their own family members to cross the Yangtze River first and fled to Xiangyang to watch the situation.

If Nanyang County is really conquered, they plan to flee to the south of Jingzhou first, and some people will flee upstream to Chengdu.

At the same time, the reputation of the Xiangyang court to move the capital again is increasing day by day. Everyone finds that Xiangyang is no longer safe. After counting and counting, they find that only the middle of Sichuan is the safest place. Therefore, moving the capital to Chengdu has become a hot topic of discussion in Xiangyang.
