The God of War in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 137 Xiliang Dong Zhuo
"Warrior City?!"

Chen Ran's voice sank, and he looked at the messy city in front of him, with a sharp and cold light in his eyes.

Huang Zhong also frowned, and said, "It seems that I'm still a step late."

Chen Ran nodded slightly, and said again: "The traitor is really rampant, this city, the people in the city... now it seems to be an empty city."

It is conceivable what the rebels did in it, a city is full of mess.

"Go in, let the army collect and bury the corpses in the city, don't let the dead die without burial." Chen Ran paused and said.He rode his horse and walked towards the city.

Above the city gate, hangs a head, which is full of unwillingness and anger, and Chen Ran is also moved by the stern look.

The army started to take action to tidy up the messy city, and part of the people in the city were relocated, but the number of people who died in the city was still countless, and the corpses of officers and soldiers were also mixed in.

These many corpses were collected by the army and buried in a flat area in the east of the city. Although it was a mass grave, there was no way to bury them one by one. It really required too much effort.

Chen Ran asked for a tombstone to be erected, so that future generations would not even know how the deceased came from here.

After dealing with these trivial matters, Chen Ran gathered Huang Zhong, Zhou Cang and other generals together to discuss how to fight.

"The rampantness of the rebel army is really unexpected." Chen Ran shook his head gently as if sighing, and said: "Because of this, you must not act rashly. I have sent scouts. I believe there will be news in three to five days. come."

"My lord is very true. According to the time, General Huangfu must be coming soon." Huang Zhong nodded in agreement, he was not a reckless person, he had his own plans in mind.

"It's Dong Zhuo, hehe." Chen Ran narrowed his eyes and sneered.

Dong Zhuo's own troops are not far from here, if he wants to rush to help, he must be in time before them, but the Warriors City was still defeated, the implication is really thought-provoking.

"Then Dong Zhuo wants his subordinates to send someone to urge him?" Huang Zhong thought about it.

Chen Ran shook his head: "Someone in Dong Zhuo must have paid attention to the news. The news of the arrival of the army should have already passed. Although Dong Zhuo was delaying the time before, by now, he will come with his troops."

The next day.

"My lord, the scouts we sent out have news." Huang Zhong rushed to report.

Chen Ran was surprised and said: "So fast, okay, what news did I find out."

A scout was led to the front of the hall, bowed to Chen Ran, and said: "My lord, my subordinates found out that the brigade of rebels is stationed in Yuzhong, and the defense is tight."

Chen Ran frowned: "Yuzhong?" He naturally knew where Yuzhong was, it was a city not far from the border between Jincheng County and Hanyang County.

"Then how many people are there in this rebel army?" Chen Ran thought about it and asked again.

"My subordinates estimated that there should be more than [-] people." The scout replied.

"More than [-] people, it seems that those stationed in Yuzhong are not the main force of the rebel army!" Chen Ran was thinking, and he was a little puzzled. Are these rebels retreating into Jincheng at this moment, do they want to fight a protracted war?

But Chen Ran is supported by the power of the imperial court, which is definitely much stronger than the rebel army. What is the plan of the rebel army?

Chen Ran couldn't figure it out for a while, but he vaguely sensed that there must be some powerful figures in the rebel army who made suggestions.If you meet this kind of people, if you are not careful, you will fall into a place of eternal doom.

Chen Ran was also a little emotional. Although he knew the big men in history, he had never met them.I only met Sima Hui, a hermit, and Zuo Ci, a Taoist priest.

Chen Ran turned around, it seems that he has to find a way to recruit some talents, and relying on himself is not the way.

"Apart from the Yuzhong rebels, is there any other news?" Chen Ran asked again.

The scout replied: "The subordinates are inquiring around, and learned that the rebel commander Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, Bian Zhang and others seem to have rushed back to Jincheng, and they are very prosperous with their troops!"

Chen Ran opened his mouth slightly in surprise, and asked doubtfully, "If the rebel army withdraws a large group of troops to Jincheng, how can they stay behind ten thousand people in Yuzhong? Is it possible to rely on this small Yuzhong to stop our army from advancing?"

"My subordinates looked at the map. The surrounding area of ​​Yuzhong is flat, and there is no way to ambush soldiers. It is also impossible to ambush our army." Huang Zhong added.

Chen Ran smiled wryly and shook his head, this rebel army is really smarter than the Yellow Turban Bandits.The Yellow Turbans only rely on their numbers to do things, but the rebels are playing with their brains.

And in this way, there is still no specific data on the strength of the enemy army.How many people were there in the army that was brought back to Jincheng?
Chen Ran pondered slightly: "The rebels are rebelling, so don't shrink back. The thieves' home is in Jincheng County, and Yuzhong is the gateway of Jincheng and Hanyang. If you want to enter Jincheng, you must break through Yuzhong."

In this way, this Yuzhong seemed to be a place that had to be breached.Of course, having to break through doesn't mean it's difficult to break through. Chen Ran is also confident if he really wants to start a siege.

"So... Han Sheng, if I order you to attack Yuzhong, are you sure?" Chen Ran glanced at Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong pondered, then nodded and said: "If the lord has an order, this subordinate will definitely not disgrace the mission."

"Okay..." Chen Ran nodded with a smile, and was about to continue the deployment.

Suddenly someone reported: "General Qi, General Huangfu has led an army to the city."

"Oh, Brother Huangfu is here so soon." Chen Ranxi said, what he is worried about now is that there are not many people, if Huangfu Song comes, he can share part of the pressure for him.Chen Ran has no doubts about Huangfu Song's ability.

"Please hurry up." Chen Ran waved his hand, thought for a while, and got up to greet him.

In the distance, a figure approached, it was Huangfusong who hadn't seen him for a while.Huangfu Song was still handsome, looked at Chen Ran, and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Ziling."

"Brother Huangfu is finally here, let me wait for a long time." Chen Ran replied with a smile, Huangfusong took great care of him during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the relationship between the two of them is naturally good.

"Looks like it's still a step too late!" Huangfusong looked around, and even after a simple cleaning, the messy traces of Warriors City were still clearly visible.

Chen Ran's expression was serious, he nodded and replied: "I rushed with the army, but it was still a step too late. The people in the city were either slaughtered or captured, and the governor of Liangzhou was also hung on the wall. This rebel... ...so arrogant."

Huangfu Song's beard and hair were all stretched out, and he glared angrily, "The rebel army is so rampant, this matter should not be delayed, Ziling, do you have any news about the rebel army?"

"The scouts sent out have already returned, and they know a thing or two about the situation of the rebels." Chen Ran did not hide anything.

Huangfusong agreed, but then he thought of something, asked someone to take out a letter, handed it to Chen Ran and said: "This is the letter sent by Dong Zhuo sent by Bei Zhonglang, let me hand it to you."

Chen Ran took it curiously, opened it to check, and couldn't help but sneer.

The gist of the letter was that he had suffered from an illness some time ago and was unable to move. Although he was ordered by His Majesty, he was unable to send troops.Now the disease is cured, and the army is gathering to come.

Chen Ran was amused and ridiculed in his heart, he really guessed right.
