Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 305 Two Tigers
This rabies-like growl, you don't need to look at his one-eyed to know it's Fu Sheng.

The surrounding guards were furious and cursed at the opposite side.

Li Yue waved his hand, a Liang Gong and a prime minister, swearing obscenities, it was really disrespectful, so they brought the soldiers back to the camp.

In the afternoon, Fu Xiong set off from camp and retreated.

Li Yue thought that he was going to retreat to Luoyang and block him west of the Lishui River, but he didn't expect that he first turned east, then south, and then turned north, swaying from side to side, joined forces with Zhang Yu who was going south, and returned to Xuchang.

The combined strength of Fu Xiong and Zhang Yu was about [-], plus Xuchang's defenders. If they broke the boat and fought to the death, Li Yue might not be able to stop them.

But when they returned to Xuchang, they chose a dead end.

In time, the news of Luoyang's fall came. Xuchang was a Gucheng. Looking around, there was no power to support them.

Yin Hao was pitted miserably by Zhang Yu, and the Jiangdong gentry wished that Zhang Yu would die without a place to bury him.

Huan Wen, who is stationed in Xinye, has little interest in Yuzhou. If he is willing to make a move, Yuzhou was his two years ago.

Zhang Yu and Fu Xiong are now complaining that every day should not be done, and that the earth is not working.

Of course, it is not easy to break through the fortified city of Xuchang, but Xuchang is right under Chen Liu's nose.

Li Yue can directly pour all the troops from the south of the river, gnaw away the other cities in Yuzhou, and clear the wilderness. How long can Xuchang survive?

The town troops of Mixian County and Weishi in the north then suppressed and besieged Xuchang.

Chenliu's slaves were also mobilized by Chang Wei, and built a deep ditch and high fortification under Xuchang City, surrounded by three quays and one, leaving only one road to the west, giving them a sliver of hope.

At the same time, Yao Xiang personally led an army of [-] to go north, preparing to enter Luozhong.

The situation is almost one-sided.

"Murong Ke's [-] army is besieging Lukou. Murong Jun led the army back to Youzhou from Liaodong. This battle cannot be postponed. It should be decided quickly." Chang Wei also brought the latest news from Hebei.

Lukou is now almost becoming Li Yue's lifeblood.

Once this place is breached, the three counties in eastern Jidong will definitely not be able to defend it. Qingzhou is also under their threat, and the Yan army can still drive straight in and sweep west Jibei.

"Based on what you see, how long can Lu Kou resist?"

Shouchun and Hefei were taken by one soldier at a time, leaving only a gap in Yuzhou to the south.

Chang Wei coughed, "If Murong Jun goes south with an overwhelming army, I'm afraid Wang Wu will be hard-pressed to resist."

"That means to take Xuchang before Murong Jun's army returns." Li Yue looked at Xuchang's tall city wall and frowned.

Cui Hong clasped his hands and said: "There is a saying in the art of war, attacking the city is the bottom, and attacking the heart is the top. Fu Xiong came here after planning Zhang Yu. Because our army is powerful, we have to join forces. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Today, two tigers are trapped in one city." Among them, can An Neng have nothing to do?"

Chang Wei twirled his beard and smiled, "My son said that the future generations are fearful, and you will not be deceived if you are sincere!"

Li Yue also praised Cui Hong's quick response.

Even if Fu Xiong is a kind person, the people around him will not be honest, especially Fu Sheng who is a rabid dog.

Even if Li Yue was killed, he didn't believe that the two sides could cooperate sincerely.

Once there is a strategy, it is easy to implement.

Li Yue directly ordered the soldiers to shoot the letter of persuasion into the city. The letter was written by Chang Wei: Yao Xiang led the troops to Luo, and Fu Xiong's future was decided. He continued to be the governor of Yuzhou.

There is no need to write too much, and there is no need to persuade earnestly.

If the two have ghosts in their hearts, it is not afraid that they will not turn against each other.

For three days in a row, Li Yue ordered people to throw letters of surrender into the city every day.

The defenders on the city were also lost, and their fighting spirit was not high. After all, the way to survive was at hand, and no one wanted to fight to the death, let alone fight the Heiyun army.

Under the guard of soldiers, Chang Wei and Cui Hong checked the morale of the defenders, and said with a smile: "The Di people are in Guanzhong, and they will not want to fight to the death. Within three days, the city will definitely be destroyed!"

Li Yue cheered up and ordered his soldiers to get ready.

Xuchang is a big city in the Central Plains and was once the former capital of Cao Wei. Relatively speaking, it has a large population.

The annexation of this place will greatly alleviate the plight of the population shortage in the Central Plains, not to mention the famous Xuxia Datuntian next to it, which is connected to Huaibei, which was a granary a hundred years ago.

That night, there was a burst of shouting and killing in the city.

Then the flames shot up into the sky, lighting up the dark night.

The four gates of Xuchang opened at the same time, and countless people rushed out.

In this way, it made it difficult for Li Yue to do anything.

I don't know who is the army and who is the civilian, so I can only try my best to catch them.

While they were in chaos, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed out from Ximen. The leader was carrying a spear as thick as a child's arm, his one eye shining brightly in the firelight. Behind him were seven or eight generals and more than a hundred armored horses. When he came out, all the people who stood in front of him were trampled to death.

Two Heiyun armies went to intercept them, but they were a bit too late. Fu Sheng took the lead, sweeping his spears left and right, breaking through the encirclement of the Heiyun army.

Followed by a long army, to kill to the west.

The scene was extremely chaotic, the soldiers ran, and the people also ran. There was no siege in the west, and the Heiyun army from the other three sects couldn't get through for the time being.

Li Yue made a decisive decision, "It's enough for the Qingqi and the scouts to bite, there is no need to surround them. The other armies will appease the people and take over the city!"

The people are the most important thing. If you can't get the population, it doesn't make much sense to win Yuzhou.

After the order was issued, the chaos was gradually brought under control.

Chang Wei led an army into the city, while Li Yue stayed in the camp, waiting for news from the various armies.

It was not until dawn that Li Yue learned what had happened from the mouths of several Yuzhou generals.

After Fu Xiong and Zhang Yu retreated to Xuchang, they looked amiable on their faces, but they were actually on guard.

Li Yue's letter of persuasion shot into the city, and both sides stared wide-eyed, fearing that the other party would strike first, after three days, gradually losing patience, Fu Sheng took the lead and led the troops into the governor's mansion.

Facing a fierce man like Fu Sheng, none of Zhang Yu's subordinates could stand up to him. He was captured alive by him, and the whole family was taken away...

Zhang Yu calculated all his life, but he still couldn't escape the fate of destruction.

In the afternoon, [-] cavalry assembled, Li Yue led his army to pursue, and Xu Chang was handed over to Chang Wei, Chen Duan and others to appease.

The army marched all the way to the west, Xuchang was broken, and there was no need for other cities to hold on, and they surrendered one after another. Li Yue ignored them and pursued Fu Xiong and Zhang Yu.

There were a large number of infantry in the two army, and they were entangled by Qingqi, and many fell.

As soon as he saw Li Yue's teeth, he knelt down by the side of the road and begged for mercy.

In addition to the capture of the novice, more than 8000 people were captured back and forth.

But these people are all Zhang Yu's subordinates, they are natives of Yuzhou, they don't have much fighting spirit, and they are coerced out without knowing the truth.

"Where is Fu Xiong?" Li Yue asked.

"Report to Duke Liang, the bandit army has retreated to Yongshi City!"

"Where is Yao Xiang's army?"

"Just arrived in Yan County!"

Yao Xiang dragged his family with his family and moved westward with 10,000+. Naturally, his movements were slow. He could not count on it.

Li Yue could only speed up his pace, "Don't cherish the horsepower, the army will go after it with all its strength!"

"Follow the order!"

In an instant, the sound of horseshoes roared like a torrential rain.

However, Fu Xiong also had a cavalry, and it was not easy to catch up with them, so he had to order the defenders of Yangcheng to block Xuanyuan Pass.

But Fu Xiong is not stupid, there is more than one way to get in and out of Luochuan.

The enemy's army moved from south to north, and the army crossed Yingshui repeatedly.

Li Yue chased to the east of Yingshui, Fu Xiong crossed to the west and demolished the bridge, Li Yue's cavalry crossed the river with difficulty, Fu Xiong crossed Yingshui to the west, and so on, the Yingshui geographical advantage was brought to the limit.

Hei Yunjun followed behind, exhausted instead.

"Don't force the poor. Fu Xiong is proficient in the art of war. Our army has only ten thousand. If you are tired and fall into his trap, why not go west and block Yique first!" Cui Hong was also exhausted these days.

Although the soldiers were full of energy, the horses were a little tired.

It is indeed dangerous to chase like this. Fu Xiong himself has more than 1 elites, plus Zhang Yu's men who are engulfing him, nearly 3 horses.

No matter what tricks he plays, he will eventually enter Luochuan.

The eight golden locks of Luoyang are not fake, Xuanyuan Pass has been blocked, not to mention Hulao Pass, the only one that can pass is Yique Pass.

"The army goes west, block Yique!" Li Yue changed his order.
