Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 184 Planning ahead
Gongsun Zan's subordinates can be considered to have many talents, Guan Jing, Zou Dan, Yan Gang, Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan, etc., are also considered outstanding people of the moment.But regardless of literature and martial arts, no one can compare with those around Liu Xie, which surprised Zhao Yun very much.

"According to what Feng Xiao said, we must first strictly guard Mengjin, and second, we must station a large army on the south line of Mengjin to guard against Xu Rong's invasion from the south. In this case, benevolence!"

"The last general is here!" Xue Li responded, wearing a white robe that was very similar to Zhao Yun. Liu Xie liked it very much and wished that both of them were his favorite generals.But he also knew that Gongsun Zan was immortal, and Zhao Yun would never vote for someone else.

Besides, Gongsun Zan is now a well-deserved main force in fighting against the Hu people. Liu Xie admires him very much and doesn't bother to poach his generals by means.

"I know that you have always been able to lead troops. This time, you will lead five thousand troops to camp on the southern front to organize defense. Xu Rongji has the ability to lead troops. You must be careful and not be careless!"

"The final general will live up to His Highness' trust." Xue Li felt Liu Xie's kindness and was very moved.He also didn't expect that Liu Xie would send him to lead the army alone. After all, there is no shortage of people around Liu Xie who can command the army.

"As for General Zhao, Baima Yi rides lightly and sharply, and is extremely fast. If there is a war between the two sides, please ask Zilong to provide timely assistance."

"Here." Zhao Yun already knew Xu Rong's general thoughts, so naturally he would not object to Liu Xie's order.

After the generals went down to prepare for the battle, only Liu Xie, Guo Jia, and Yu Yunwen were left in the camp. Even Dian Wei and Xu Chu were guarding the camp for safety.

"My lord, in a few days, the war between the allied forces of the feudal lords and Dong Zhuo will break out completely. Although we are far away from Hulao Pass, we must plan early to be safe," Guo Jia suggested.

Yu Yunwen nodded and said: "No matter who wins or loses in this battle, it will not change the ambitions of the princes and the turbulent situation in the world. After the First World War, the coalition alliance will no longer exist, and it will soon turn against each other because of interests. The Zhen family has a close relationship with us. Now living far away in Hebei, it is inevitable that one day Jizhou Governor Han Fuyi or whoever occupies Jizhou will use them to threaten Yanzhou. My lord, why not write a letter while the relationship between the coalition forces is still there, and ask Zhen Yan, the head of the Zhen family, to lead the tribe Move to Yanzhou as soon as possible. The current Yanzhou is not much worse than Jizhou in time."

Yu Yunwen didn't say that Liu Xie really didn't expect that the Zhen family was extremely important to his development, and Zhen Mi and Zhen Jiang were both his unmarried wives.In case Yuan Shao stole Jizhou and that boy Yuan Xi snatched Zhen Mi to be his wife like in history, he would cry to death with such a big green hat.

Besides, he had promised Zhen Jiang that if he took Yanzhou, he would formally propose marriage to the Zhen family and marry her.Liu Xie didn't just say a few love words to coax her, he really wanted to turn this tender woman into his wife and pamper her.

The two have been separated for almost half a year. This time, it is time for him to fulfill his promise to ask Dong to go back.

"Father Bin is right, but I was negligent." Liu Xie immediately wrote a letter and asked Song Lian and others to send troops to Wuji County, Zhongshan, Hebei Province to explain the interests to the Zhen family, and then escort them south to Yanzhou.

"Besides, Mengjin is not too far from Luoyang, so it's not impossible for us to have other plans." Guo Jia's eyes were deep, and his eyes were black and captivating.

"Indeed, if Dong Zhuo is defeated, Hulao Pass will definitely fall, and Luoyang will no longer have any natural dangers to defend. Dong Zhuo will most likely lead his troops to retreat to Chang'an, relying on the natural danger barrier of Hangu Pass, to recuperate, sit in the pass and watch the princes fight. Once Dong Zhuo Retreating to Chang'an, according to Li Ru's insidiousness, the prosperous Luoyang will definitely not be left to the princes, and most of them will plunder the wealth and population to move to Chang'an." Yu Yunwen obviously thought of this.

"It's more than just plundering wealth and population. This guy Li Ru directly burned Luoyang to nothing but ruins." Liu Xie knew that Li Ru's viciousness was far beyond ordinary people's imagination. He couldn't get it. I can't even imagine it.

"My lord, you can now transfer General Su Lie and his cavalry from Yanzhou. When there is a chance, General Su Lie can lead the cavalry to attack Luoyang. After all, there are many things in Luoyang that are worthy of our pursuit." Guo Jia said lightly. With a smile, there are many deep meanings hidden in the words.

Naturally, Liu Xie had no reason to disapprove. Su Lie stayed in Chenliu to train the cavalry, and he was probably very eager to participate in the battle against Dong.He revised another letter and asked Su Lie to lead three thousand cavalry to wait for orders.

"General, we have been lurking in this broken ravine for many days. How long will it take? The ravine is full of horse shit and urine. It smells really bad, and we have almost run out of food and grass. ." In a remote and hidden ravine in Mengjin, a Xiliang primary school student complained to a general with a resolute face and yellow skin with a painful look on his face.

"Hey! It seems that I miscalculated. There must be a master in King Chenliu's army. He must have seen through my scheme, so he has been strictly guarding Mengjin and not caring about our movements at all."

This yellow-faced general is none other than Xu Rong, the famous Xiliang general that even Liu Xie fears.

Xu Rong led the cavalry to Mengjin before Zhao Yun, but he did not take advantage of the situation to capture Mengjin, because he also knew that Mengjin was just tasteless to him.His subordinates are all cavalry, occupying Mengjin can only restrain himself, once he is besieged by the army, he will have to wait for death.

He didn't take advantage of the situation and went south, because he would probably run into Liu Xie's army head-on.He simply did nothing and disappeared into hiding.

Generally, the generals did not find them after they arrived in Mengjin, and most of them would be suspicious and worried, and would definitely send troops to look for them.In this way, Xu Rong can seize the opportunity to defeat each of them.After all, he has five thousand Xiliang iron cavalry in hand, and he is confident that he is not weaker than anyone in the field.

Unexpectedly, it was Liu Xie who he waited for for a few days, and Guo Jiahe saw through his ingenious strategy.Xu Rong also noticed something was wrong now, and knew that if he waited any longer, there might be no other result except starving the army to death.

"Report, General, we just found out that an army of about 5000 people came out of Mengjin City, all of them are infantry, and they are currently heading south. I don't know what they are going to do?" An urgent report came from a scout.
"south?"

A map of Mengjin and the surrounding areas immediately appeared in Xu Rong's mind, and he realized clearly, "They want to set up a defense line in the south, and they are afraid that we will go south to harass the grain road regardless of the rear. But, you have a good idea, but you only have one Thousands of troops, this division of troops, doesn't it give us a chance to sneak attack?"
