The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 618 Liu Bei's Movement
Guan Zhongjun began to attack Luoyang.

The seven thousand death-defying vanguards, under the command of Jiang Jiong, began to flock to the head of Luoyang city like a tide, and seemed to sweep the earth.

In the center and in the front is the car that hit the wood, and the guards on both sides are the iron shield soldiers with full body armor, and the ones going side by side are the terrifying ladder cars. Although their speed is slow, they are majestic.

"Boom boom boom boom—!"

In the camp behind them, there was a loud drum noise. Listening to the drum sound, the Guanzhong Death Squad seemed to be greatly encouraged, and they still shouted and headed towards the city.

Jiang Xiong was commanding from the rear of the Death Squad. He was waving a sword in his hand. Seeing that the Death Squad had arrived under the city, he waved his hand and said loudly, "Come on, brothers, set up the ladder and attack the city!"
"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"........."

There was a strong sound made by the collision of beech wood and stones, and countless ladders began to sit on the edge of Luoyang City. The vanguard soldiers of the Guanzhong Army climbed towards the city head with one hand while shouting and holding weapons.

On the top of the city, Xu Shu has been ordering all the soldiers to stand still and stand still, not even firing an arrow. He only sneered when the ladder approached the door, and said to the herald lightly: "Smash!"

Because all the soldiers did not shoot arrows hastily just now, but just waited for the order with stones in their hands according to Xu Shu's order, the stone-throwing defense at this moment is like finding a dam for the exit, pouring out, and the stones thrown from the top of the city are like light raindrops , "Huh, huh, huh, huh" and galloped down.

The soldiers under the ladder couldn't dodge such a torrential stone attack, and they couldn't help screaming and fell under the city.

"Report!" The scout rushed up to Xu Shu in a hurry, cupped his hands and said, "Your General, has the place bumped into the gate of the city?"

"Is the oil ready?"

"Ready!"

"hot!"

A burst of boiling oil rushed down the city walls in the already prepared hot mouth of Luoyang City, and poured their heads and faces on the armored guards who were guarding the slamming carts. The refined iron conducts heat, and the city of Luoyang screamed instantly. cry.Birds, beasts and fishes of the attacking army scattered, rushing and fleeing in all directions.

Seeing that the death-defying vanguard of one's own side had just rushed for a round in front, they were beaten up by Xu Shu, Jiang Jiong's head was smoking with anger, and he was about to gallop forward.

But the problem is that on the top of the city, apart from Xu Shu who is in charge of commanding the defense, there is still a fierce general by his side.

This person is none other than Tong Fei.

Tong Fei was on the city, staring at Jiang Jiong, who was in charge of commanding the three armies. He had been staring at Jiang Jiong for not a while, but the opponent had never been within his range, so he kept refraining from attacking him.

Seeing that Jiang Jiong was in a hurry and rushed forward, Tong Fei was overjoyed, stretched his bow and drew the bow, aimed at Jiang Jiong, and shot an arrow.

"what!"

In desperation, Tong Fei's arrow missed his head after all, he missed Jiang Jiong, but hit his horse's head, the horse screamed in pain, got up and knocked Jiang Jiong to the ground.

The soldiers behind Jiang Jiong were shocked when they saw this, they rushed forward and rescued him back to the town.

Zhao Yun squinted his eyes at the Guanzhong army's main formation for a while, then he couldn't help but nodded and sighed: "The city of Luoyang is really as I expected, it is very difficult to attack."

Beside Zhao Yun, Hao Zhao came on horseback and said, "It doesn't matter if the city is big or not, the main reason is that the generals defending the city are very skilled. Whether it is the defensive layout or the timing of the attack, they are very precise. Even if they are compared with me, they must be Pretty much the same."

Hao Zhao, who is known as the number one city defender in the world, is almost as admired by him as himself, which shows that Xu Shu's ability is deeply admired and favored by him.

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Hao Zhao, you are the general who defends the city. I am inferior to you in terms of defending the city. In your opinion, what is the best way to attack Luoyang City?"

Hao Zhao thought for a while, and said: "If the attack continues like this, even if it is defeated, the damage will be great. It seems that the only way is to encircle and trap it. Although it is a bad strategy, it is the best way!"

Zhao Yundao: "That's right, it seems that this is the only way to go now... But if I do this, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Luoyang for a long time, and I have to go to Hanzhong immediately, and the matter of besieging Luoyang will be fully entrusted to me." You guys, when the time comes, Jia Xu will come to help out, so it should be fine."

**************************
The news of Zhao Yun's attack on Luoyang soon spread to Chengdu.

Upon hearing the news at first glance, Liu Bei was shocked.

Although I don't know the whole story, Liu Bei can still see that through the sudden turn of the situation in Liaodong, Yuan Shang returned to Xuchang, Zhao Yun sent troops to Luoyang, and the proclamation spread all over the world, this is indeed Yuan Shang's plan!

What Kong Ming said is true, it seems that if Yun Changqiang is allowed to enter Xuchang by himself, now he doesn't know what the consequences will be.

However, Pang Tong's plan is still very reliable. At this time, Yuan Shang will target the emperor, and the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong and the Central Plains cannot move lightly. Although Tuoba Liwei and Li Ru are both Yuan Shang's pawns, there is a solution to the matter of the emperor. Before, the soldiers and horses guarding the border in Hebei would not move lightly. At this time, as Pang Tong said, it is indeed a rare opportunity to enter Hanzhong!
Thinking of this, Yuan Shang hastily summoned all civil and military personnel to discuss the matter. When everyone heard the news, they immediately became overjoyed and clamored to send troops to attack Hanzhong, among which Zhang Fei was the most enthusiastic.

Naturally, from the beginning of knowing Yuan Shang, although my side has never faced him head-on, they have always been deflated, especially Zhang Fei. Ten years ago in Runan, even his wife was cheated by Yuan Shang. , how could he not do it?
Zhuge Liang is also more in favor of sending troops, but there is news that the current situation in Nanzhong has changed. Liu Zhang and other old bandits seem to be ready to move. Zhuge Liang feels that when attacking Hanzhong, Xichuan should also be careful to deal with the changes in the south.

After careful consideration, Liu Bei decided to leave Zhuge Liang in Chengdu, and sent Li Yan, Chen Dao, Xiang Chong, Meng Da and other good generals to assist.Zhang Song, Cui Jun, Shi Tao, Huang Quan, Liu Ba and other civil officials assisted him.

On the other hand, Liu Bei led Pang Tong, Fazheng, and Liao Li to lead the Central Army of Sichuan soldiers to attack Hanzhong, and five generals Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Yan Yan, and Wenpin were the vanguard officers, and sent troops to five routes. He raised ten soldiers and horses and forcibly attacked Hanzhong.

The news quickly spread to Nanzheng. At this time, the person sitting in Hanzhong was Pang De, a Xiliang fierce general under Yuan Shang's command, and his deputy was Xia Houyuan. When he heard that Liu Bei was leading his troops, Pang De's expression could not help but reveal Sad look.

Xia Houyuan saw that he couldn't help being angry, and said: "You and I guard Hanzhong to guard against big-eared thieves. If he doesn't come, don't you and I just sit here for a while? Now that he's here, you and I have a place to fight. It’s fine if you’re not happy, what are you worried about?”

Pang De couldn't help laughing wryly when he heard the words, this old man is really hot-tempered, and he doesn't mind meat or vegetables.

Pang De glanced at Xia Houyuan leisurely, and said: "General Miaocai, Xuchang has been captured by the lord, and the Cao family is dead. Why do you seem to have nothing to do? You don't have to worry about it?"

"I worry about having a shitty relationship with you! Dealing with the big-eared thief is the most important thing right now!" Xia Houyuan seemed unwilling to mention the demise of the Cao family, and said casually, "Liu Bei is here Now, how do you want to defend Hanzhong?"

Seeing this, Pang De couldn't help frowning.

To be honest, the Cao family is dead. Although his clan has never been punished by Yuan Shang, and they all treat each other with great courtesy, Xia Houyuan's performance is really too lofty. Every day, he seems to be a normal person. What.

If he was acting like a monster by crying, making trouble and hanging himself, Pang De would be at ease, but the problem is that he just behaved as usual, and now Pang De was not sure what Xia Houyuan was going to sing.

Looking at Xia Houyuan's staring eyes, although Pang De's thoughts about this person are one after another, he still said solemnly: "From Xichuan to Hanzhong, there are three roads! One is Micang Road, the other is Yinping Road, and the third is Among the three roads in the ancient Shu Road, the Micang Road is narrow and the Yinping Road is dangerous. Only the Ancient Shu Road is wider! I heard that after Liu Bei attacked Sichuan, he set up Zitong County in Guanghan County and appointed General Huo Jun as the county guard. It is nothing more than transporting food and grass, and sending troops to the ancient Shu Road to attack Hanzhong. For this, the top priority is to defend an important town with heavy troops first!"

Xia Houyuan got up and looked at the map, nodded and said, "That's right, from Zitong to the north is Xiabian! What do you mean, put all the troops and horses on the Xiabian?"

"Of course! Xiabian seems inconspicuous, but it is actually an important channel for our army to reinforce food and grass from Longyou to Hanzhong. I want to go there in person. In addition, I will send Du Xi, Xu Xuan, Chang Lin, and Yang Jun under my command. Wait for someone to guard Guangshi for me, and ask General Miaocai to take charge of the Ma Ming Pavilion to Yangping Pass for me, and we will use our three legs to help each other."

Xia Houyuan nodded when he heard the words, and said: "This is a coup of yours, no matter what, I will act according to your plan!"

*********************
Liu Bei went north, and Hanzhong also deployed heavy troops everywhere according to Pang De's plan.

At this time, Liu Bei went north and heard that there was an action in Hanzhong, so he hurriedly called everyone to discuss.

After listening to Yuan Jun's layout in Hanzhong, Pang De picked up the wine gourd beside him, raised his head and took a sip, laughed loudly, and said: "Pang De, the guard of Hanzhong, did have some tricks, no wonder Yuan Shang entrusted all the affairs of Hanzhong to He handles it!"

Liu Bei frowned and said, "Pang De's troops split up and blocked my passage. I'm afraid it will be difficult to attack by force. I wonder what the military master has ingenious plan?"

Pang Tong laughed, and said: "Pang De is a general, and he is quite capable of using troops, but he doesn't know government affairs, so it's not difficult to deal with. Although he knows the topography and features of all the places in Shu, he doesn't know them. Various ethnic groups, during the Yan Xing Rebellion in the past, when Zhang Lu sent troops to Guanzhong, there were two minority kings, Pu Hu of Badong County and Du Gu of Basil County, who were all supported by Yuan Shang. The king is Lei Ding from Di. Although Pang De came to Hanzhong and did not deal with him, he never tried to comfort him. After a long time, how could Lei Ding be able to understand Yuan's attitude towards him? He must have two minds! This is Pound's political What a mistake! We can take advantage of it and use it to conquer Pound's army first!"
