Chapter 223 Soldiers surround Mianchi
Gao Shun came to Lu Bu's side and shouted loudly, "Marquis Wen, the bandits are powerful, so let's retreat to Luoyang for now."

Lu Bu looked up, and saw that the mountains and plains were full of Black Mountain Army and Baibo bandits. His five thousand soldiers retreated steadily, most of them were killed or injured, and they had no intention of fighting.

"Marquis Wen, if you don't withdraw, you will be surrounded." Zang Ba also said anxiously.

Lu Bu looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, and shouted unwillingly: "Withdraw!"

After the order was issued, the sergeants retreated like a tide, throwing away their helmets and armor along the way, and fled in embarrassment.

With a big wave of Zhang Yan's hand, his Black Mountain Army took advantage of the situation to cover up the attack. By the time Lu Bu fled to Luoyang, the number of five thousand soldiers was less than two thousand.

Fortunately, Zhang Yan did not receive Zhao Qian's order to attack the city. After shouting at the Luoyang city, he led his army to retreat.

Han Xian was very happy and said: "Thanks to General Zhang for his rescue this time, all the brothers in Baibogu are very grateful."

Zhang Yan waved his hand and said: "General Han, you are being polite. Baibo and Heishan are on good terms with each other. Besides, the general ordered me to come to rescue this time. General Han and General Li should thank the general."

Han Xian and Li Le looked at each other and said, "Is it true that General Zhao Qian ordered General Zhang to come here? Then Lu Bu is now Yuan Shao's man, so he is not afraid of Yuan Shao's attack?"

Zhang Yan laughed, and said: "Don't say that Yuan Shao won't raise troops to come, even if the army is overwhelming, how can the general be afraid?"

"Is Zhao Qian really that powerful?" Li Le wondered, he felt that Zhang Yan was a little blindly worshipped.

Zhang Yan smiled slightly and said: "Two generals, since the general started his army, has there been any defeats? Besides, I have fought against the general before, and I know how powerful the general is."

Han Xian rolled his eyes and said, "General Zhang now has an army of [-], and Lu Bu who is retreating to Luoyang has only a few thousand troops. Why don't you seize Luoyang and make a great contribution?"

But Zhang Yan shook his head and said: "The general didn't order me to attack Luoyang, I must have other plans, and you two can't do anything wrong."

Li Le asked again: "General Zhang can stay in Baibo Valley for a while, and I will treat you kindly as a token of my gratitude."

"No need, I still have military duties and need to return as soon as possible." Zhang Yan immediately refused.

Han Xian and Li Le looked at each other again and said, "If General Zhang leaves and Lu Bu comes again, what should we do?"

"That's right, brother Baibogu has suffered a heavy loss this time. I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover in a short time. It is really difficult to resist Lu Bu." Li Le also said pitifully.

Zhang Yan raised his mouth slightly, and said, "I have a way to make the two generals no longer afraid of Lu Bu."

"What way? Ask us." The two asked quickly.

"The two generals can go to the table to join the general. From this point on, the two generals are the generals of the great Han. If Lu Bu comes again, he will be rebellious." Zhang Yan laughed.

Han Xian thought for a while and said, "Lv Bu is an unrighteous person, I'm afraid he wouldn't care if he was rebellious."

Zhang Yan laughed, and said: "Even so, the two generals still have many reinforcements. Xu Rong of Huayin and Zhang Ji of Hanoi can form horns with Baibogu, even Lu Bu dare not move lightly."

Li Le quickly flattered him and said, "It is enough to have General Zhang help me Baibogu."

Zhang Yan laughed and said, "I am now a general who is in distress under the general's tent, how can I move troops at will? As long as the two generals join the general, if Lu Bu comes to commit an attack, the general will not care about it?"

Han Xian and Li Le discussed in private, and said: "Well, we will follow General Zhang's words. From now on, the brothers of Baibogu will only follow the general's lead!"

"Okay! I will personally write a letter of recommendation. I think the general will treat the two generals." Zhang Yan laughed.

The next day, Zhang Yan's army set off and returned to Montenegro. At the same time, he sent people to Jinyang to report the situation to Zhao Qian.

After Zhao Qian received Zhang Yan's letter, he was very happy. After telling the emperor Liu Bian, he ordered someone to revise the imperial edict, and appointed Han Siam as General Xingyi and Li Le as General Fenyi to be in charge of the military affairs of the Pingyang Army.

At the same time, Zhao Qian allocated a batch of supplies from Jinyang, and sent them to Baibo Valley together with the edict of appointment.

After receiving the appointment, Han Xian and Li Le were very happy, and they were even more happy when they saw Zhao Qian's supplies last time.

Therefore, the two took Zhao Qian's letter of appointment to take over Pingyang's military affairs, and began to recruit troops openly to guard against Lu Bu's counterattack.

On the other hand, Lu Bu was very angry. The sergeants under his command plus some stragglers from Luoyang amounted to only two or three thousand.

Moreover, when Dong Zhuo abandoned Luoyang last time, he burned the city and looted the people. Although Zhao Qian finally took them back, most of the people followed Zhao Qian to Jinyang.

Today's Luoyang City is very desolate, conscription seems unlikely, and Yuan Shao does not increase his troops, so Lu Bu has nothing to do.

Not to mention the frowning Lu Bu, after Xu Rong of Huayin learned of Lu Bu's defeat, he began to gather troops and march towards Mianchi.

The two places were too close, and when Mianchi prefect Duan Yao found out, Xu Rong's army had already surrounded Mianchi.

Lu Bu, who was nearby in Luoyang, found out the news, so he summoned Gao Shun and Zang Ba to discuss whether to rescue Duan Yan.

Zang Ba snorted coldly and said, "Yuan Shao doesn't increase his troops and Marquis Wen, why bother to save his city?"

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Xuan Gao is right, why should I meddle in my own business? Boping, what do you think?"

Gao Shun said: "Marquis Wen, I see that even if you can save him, you can't go."

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"It was Xu Rong who surrounded Mianchi this time. This is Zhao Qian's army. If Marquis Wen goes to the rescue, Zhao Qian can mobilize the troops from Shangdang, Hanoi, and Hedong to attack Marquis Wen together. It will be critical at that time. .” Gao Shun said.

Lu Bu looked very depressed, held back for a long time, and asked: "Then Zhao Qian won't mobilize the army to attack the Marquis now?"

Gao Shun shook his head and said, "No matter what, Marquis Wen is still Yuan Shao's person at this time, and Luoyang is still Yuan Shao's base. Unless Zhao Qian wants to fully develop with Yuan Shao, he will not take the initiative to attack."

Lu Bu sighed, and said, "Alright then, I will just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, hmph, let Yuan Shao lose a piece of meat too!"

Duan Yan from Mianchi boarded the tower, looked at Xu Rong's army below, and shouted: "General Xu, why did you invade our city? We know that this city is owned by Taiwei Yuan Shao?"

Xu Rong shouted loudly and said: "Boldly Duan Yan, you lent food to Lv Bu to help him attack Pingyang, which is really an act of rebellion. I am here to arrest you under the order of the general!"

"Lü Bu is tyrannical, I really have no other choice." Duan Yan quickly explained.

Xu Rong waved his hand and said: "There is no need to explain to this general, you have to go out of the city to fight, or surrender, what are you talking about!"
