Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 327 Liang Xing and Yang Qiu

After killing Cheng Yin, Liu Yu didn't care about the fleeing enemy soldiers, because he just saw Zhang Liao commanding the archers to go ahead to ambush ahead of time.

The surprise attack was successful, and Zhang Liao rushed to meet the lord as soon as the battle was over.

Liu Yu was worried about the safety of his family, so he briefly talked with Zhang Liao for a while, and then took him into the north gate of Luoyang.

After seeing Ma Teng, Liu Yu learned about his family and Liu Bei's situation.

Liu Bei and Yang Xiu were imprisoned by Han Sui, and Pang De went to the alley in the south of the city to protect Liu's residence, but the city gate was blocked by soldiers led by Liang Xing, and he might not be able to escort the people of Liu's residence back to the north gate for a while.

As soon as he heard that his family members were still unsure whether they were safe, Liu Yu was so anxious that he ordered to prepare for war with Liang Xing and Yang Qiu's troops on the spot.

He had to go back to the alley in the south of the city before tonight.

Because Ma Teng lost the east gate and failed to rescue the people from the Liu residence in time, he felt very guilty, so Mao proposed himself to lead a team to attack Liang Xing's soldiers and horses to open the gap for Liu Yu to enter the city.

Street fighting is hand-to-hand combat, no one side is sure of victory, and the winning side will definitely pay a heavy price.

Hearing that Ma Teng took the initiative to invite Ying, Liu Yu was also very grateful, but tough battles are hard to fight, and once the battle starts, the enemy will reinforce the city, so it may be difficult to enter the city within three to five days.

Liu Yu can't wait that long, so this battle must be decided quickly.

Liu Yu asked: "Shoucheng said that all the original Feixiong army in the city surrendered to Han Sui, is that true?"

Ma Teng replied: "Well, when Han Sui returned to the city in the morning, he led his troops to surround the barracks of the Feixiong Army, and then went to collect the battalions under the guise of Dong Zhuo's name. Only a few hours later, Han Sui returned to the city. Promulgating the decree to define Dong Zhuo as a big traitor is obviously trying to please the world, but it made the Feixiong army who had just surrendered very dissatisfied."

Hearing this, Liu Yu immediately thought of a good strategy to quickly defeat Liang Xing and Yang Qiu's corps.

Han Sui's cronies had only about [-] soldiers, so most of the guards in the city were the newly recruited Feixiong Army and private soldiers of Wang Yun and others.

Thinking that half of Liang Xing's team is Dong Zhuo's old team.

With such a hasty time, the newly recruited soldiers definitely don't have a sense of belonging. If they can use psychological tactics reasonably at this time, they will definitely weaken the opponent's combat power greatly, and may even surrender before the battle.

So Liu Yu immediately gave Zhang Liao an order to erect a large banner in the city gate, write the words Feixiong Army, and set up a surrender platform under the flag. All soldiers of the Feixiong Army who are willing to surrender will be rewarded with [-] yuan. No expiration date.

At the same time, he asked Ma Teng to send someone to the opposite side to read Han Sui's crimes, and put Dong Zhuo's death on Han Sui's head to confuse the enemy.

It is a good strategy to blame Han Sui, because the [-] flying bear troops in the city are all Dong Zhuo's most trusted subordinates, and it is easy to cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers, but this dissatisfaction may not be enough to have a great impact on the enemy.

After all, the Feixiong army in the city also had to eat. After seeing the situation clearly, even if they knew that Han Sui's cause of Dong Zhuo's death might be related to Han Sui, they would choose to obey Han Sui for the sake of living.

However, if one thousand coins can be distributed to every soldier who is willing to return to the Feixiong Army, it will be different.

One thousand yuan can buy one thousand catties of grain, enough to feed a soldier for two years.

This is a very attractive bounty.

But here comes the problem again, Ma Teng doesn't have so much money or extra food here, and once he breaks his promise and coaxes him, not only will he not be able to recruit the Flying Bear Army, but it may even backfire.

Seeing Ma Teng's distressed face, Liu Yu patted his chest and assured him that everything was on him.

Seeing that it was getting dark, a flag embroidered with the Flying Bear Army was suddenly erected in the north gate of Luoyang.

Half of the troops brought by Liang Xing and Yang Qiu on the opposite side were members of the Feixiong Army. When they saw the Feixiong Banner, they thought it was Niu Fu who had returned.

Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, the half-successor of the Xiliang faction, and the Feixiong Army was handed over to him by Dong Zhuo for direct command.

So as soon as the banner was raised, Liang Xing and Yang Qiu felt the pressure immediately.

"Brother is not well, many soldiers in the barracks are talking about the possibility that Niu Fu is coming!" Yang Qiu hurriedly ran into the camp.

Since Banner Baqi was named by Han Sui, these eight people became sworn brothers.

However, the eight of them are not sorted by age, but by their own strength. Liang Xing has the strongest strength and the highest official position, so he is the eldest brother.

But Yang Qiu's force is only 75, so he is ranked last.

"Youngest, why are you panicking? Even if Niu Fu is back, so what? General Hussars has just paid out the food, these Flying Bear troops also need to eat, and there is enough food in Taicang, what does Niu Fu have, to deal with the Southwest Bandit soldiers still need food and grass support, even if he comes back, no one will continue to hang around with him!"

Then Liang Xing gave Yang Qiu another order: "Let the law enforcement supervisors in the army go to the battalions to supervise. Anyone who dares to stir up the morale of the army will be executed. In addition, let the word out, say that Niu Fu was defeated and returned to Luoyang because of the exhaustion of food and grass."

With the pressure of military law, and rumors that the opponent is not strong enough to fight for a long time, this Liang Xing can be considered to have a little understanding of the art of war, and he is worthy of being the leader of the eight horsemen.

Yang Qiu got the order to turn around and go to do it, but after a long meeting, he turned back again.

"Brother is not well..."

"What's wrong, can't you calm down for me!" Liang Xing glared angrily, "Tell me what happened again!"

Yang Qiu calmed down after taking a deep breath, and then he dared to answer: "Someone on the opposite side is reading out... General Hussars! He also said that Dong Zhuo was actually killed by Generals Hussars!"

Liang Xing snorted disapprovingly, "What do I take it for? Which of the new soldiers in the army doesn't think so? There's no need to panic. Just send someone to scold me!"

The imperial court has issued an imperial decree, defining Dong Zhuo as a traitor, and Han Sui is a minister who has made great contributions to calming down this chaotic situation.

Therefore, almost everyone in the city believed that Dong Zhuo's death must have something to do with Han Sui. This is no secret.

Liang Xing thought that if the opponent made a fuss about this matter at this time, what effect would it have?

As long as Han Sui controls the imperial court and Taicang, he will be the new master of Luoyang. If the newly surrendered Flying Bear Army wants to continue living in Luoyang, then they can only accept the imperial decree and accept the result of Dong Zhuo being killed by Han Sui.

Perhaps Liang Xing has two talents in the way of commanding troops, but his understanding of human nature is still far behind.

And even Han Sui didn't dare to admit that Dong Zhuo was killed by his plan. Although the whole city knew it, there was no word in the imperial decree that it was Han Sui who killed Dong Zhuo himself.

And this is like the last fig leaf for the Feixiong soldiers. As long as no one lifts it, they will continue to pretend not to know about it.

But when Liu Yu asked people to erect the banner of the Feixiong Army on the opposite side of the enemy line, he had already awakened the "conscience" of the Feixiong soldiers, and then those proclamations that publicized that Dong Zhuo was killed by Han Sui ripped off the Feixiong Army's last fig leaf.
