Han counter current

When the migrant population in Nanyang increased to 60, Chen Feng's troops at Hulao Pass also compromised Da Ruo's strategy, in order to scare off the enemy.

Hey, after repeated battles, our army has consumed a lot of food and grass, and the elite infantry is still resting in Xuzhou at the moment. How can there be so many reinforcements. "

Cao Cao also showed helplessness on his face, it wasn't that he didn't want to pursue, if it wasn't for the shortage of soldiers, horses, food and grass, he would have sent troops from Mengjin and other places a long time ago, so why wait until now.

Hulao Pass was too close to Xuchang, he had to force Chen Feng away as soon as possible, that's why he had the posture these days, in fact, he didn't have the strength to wipe out the enemy army in one fell swoop for the time being.

In particular, he also knows the situation in Nanyang.So many people were forcibly relocated, and Yu Jin didn't send troops to stop them. It was not because of his lack of strength and he wanted to stick to Wancheng, so he could only watch these people being taken away by Chen Feng.

Xia Houyuan chased Pound all the way, the two armies did not confront each other at all, and many soldiers were exhausted on their horses. This battle could not be carried out.

"Bo Ning, you go to Luoyang, no matter what method you use, you must make Chen Feng return to Chang'an. This guy has occupied Chang'an and Xiliang now, and I'm afraid he won't leave.

Also, Zidan and the others are trapped in Guangwei, so we must find a way to rescue them.Fengxiao's side has already occupied Xuzhou, and some soldiers and horses are returning. We need time. "

"No, this subordinate will go now."

In the wilderness, Chen Feng's [-] soldiers and horses stopped and went, and from time to time they would send people to the rear to investigate, for fear that Cao Jun would suddenly come out.

Fortunately, the expected pursuers did not appear, and the vanguard returned to Luoyang.This finally made Chen Feng heave a sigh of relief, what he was afraid of was the enemy's pursuit and fierce attack.

"My lord, the general feels a little strange. According to Cao Cao's personality, if he gets the chance, he will definitely kill our army, and he will let us retreat calmly.

So far, the enemy has not pursued us. Could it be that Cao Cao doesn't want to fight us to the death, or that Cao's reinforcements don't exist at all. "

Along the way, Zhao Yun kept thinking about the battle situation of the previous few days. He had learned the combat effectiveness of Cao Jun's cavalry, and he also knew a little about the situation behind Cao Jun's rear. He didn't believe that Cao Jun's reinforcements had arrived.

Hearing Zhao Yun's question, Chen Feng felt cheated. He also knew that Cao Cao was well versed in the art of war, so it was very likely that he was tricked this time, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Chapter 494 Retreat overnight 2

After arriving in Luoyang, Chen Feng immediately deployed his defenses and lost the Hulao Pass. Now he can only rely on the city of Luoyang.

Luoyang, which was originally prosperous, can only be described as depression and dilapidation now.The only residents in the city also hid behind the door and shivered, showing fearful eyes through the crack of the door.

From Dong Zhuo's forced relocation of the Luoyang people, to the fire and a series of military turmoil that completely wiped out the vitality of Luoyang, but over the years, there have been many slipping through the net.

"My lord, there are about tens of thousands of people in the city, and they are extremely afraid of our army. Among these people, there may be enemy spies."

Gao Lan had just finished inspecting the barracks. Because he arrived in Luoyang earlier, he knew the situation in Luoyang better, so he made this report.

"Hulao Pass is lost, and Mengjin and other places are also under the control of Cao Jun. This Luoyang has no support around it, and I am afraid it will be difficult to hold on.

Hmph, if these people stay here, they will definitely suffer from military disasters. Pass down an order to let them withdraw to Chang'an with the wounded soldiers. If you don't obey the order, you can handle it yourself. "

Everyone knew that the next battle would definitely start in Luoyang. Cao Cao couldn't tolerate Chen Feng's occupation of Luoyang.

Retreat is certain. After all, Li Ru is building a defense line in Chang'an, and with the support from Hetao, Chang'an must be the strongest.

But before that, Chen Feng still wanted to hold Cao Jun back.When we arrived in Luoyang, we were finally far away from Xuchang. It was not easy for Cao Jun to mobilize so many troops. This battle had to be consumed slowly.

"Why hasn't there been any news from Ling Ming? Didn't I order him to come to Luoyang directly?"

"My lord, I'm afraid the situation has changed. Although Lingming has a lot of soldiers and horses, they have to take care of hundreds of thousands of people to migrate. I'm afraid they will be prone to accidents. Otherwise, let's go to meet them."

"Alright, Zilong, you immediately lead [-] cavalry to look for Lingming. At this time, there must be no more trouble."

In Chang'an, more and more refugees migrated here, and Li Ru arranged for them to move to various places in Xiliang in batches to enrich the local population.

Because of the repeated wars and the lack of population in Xiliang, people in many places have fled. Now, if you want to develop Xiliang, you must have enough people.

"Military division, Chang'an's defense is no longer a problem. The [-] young men selected from the refugees are also stepping up their training. Although it is impossible to fight on the battlefield, it is still possible to maintain law and order and protect the people."

Xu Huang walked into the hall and was reporting to Li Ru.Chen Feng led his generals to fight on the front line, while Xu Huang was in charge of Chang'an's defense. This was also a kind of trust in him.

"General Xu, there is something that I'm afraid you will have to do."

Li Ru picked up a piece of information, then handed it to Xu Huang and said, "I never expected that this time going south will provoke so many opponents, and Cao Cao will be fine. This Lu is also here to join in the fun."

"Send [-] troops, led by General Zhang Wei of Hanzhong? Military advisor, is this news true? Zhang Lu in Hanzhong actually sent troops. What does the Lord mean?"

It was written clearly in the information that Zhang Lu in Hanzhong originally did not provoke anyone, but now, for some unknown purpose, he has sent [-] troops, which has the potential to attack Chang'an.

"What the lord means is to hurt them. Even if the enemy army is completely wiped out, our army is now focusing on Luoyang, and the lord can't divide the troops.

You can command only [-] elite troops and [-] new recruits. General Xu, are you sure you can repel the invading enemies from Hanzhong? "

To be honest, everyone knows that the combat effectiveness of Hanzhong soldiers and horses is not very good. The world has been in chaos for so many years, and I have never heard the news of how capable the Hanzhong army is.

If Zhang Lu hadn't been good at developing disciples and using the Five Dou Rice Sect to win over the people, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to gain a foothold in Hanzhong.

However, compared with other princes, Zhang Luneng used this method to gain a foothold in Hanzhong, and defeated the army sent by Liu Zhang many times, which also proved that he was not a waste.

Maybe it was Chen Feng's sudden arrival that made Zhang Lu feel threatened, or maybe it was the people who moved to Chang'an from various places that stimulated his nerves, so he chose to send troops at this time.

The Hanzhong army's attack undoubtedly made Chen Feng, who was already a dizzy man, even more anxious.One Cao Cao is already difficult to deal with, and with the addition of Zhang Lu, the situation will only become more severe.

At Hulao Pass, Cao Cao also received news of Zhang Lu sending troops. All this was due to the envoys he sent, who successfully persuaded Zhang Lu to send troops.

"Hmph, Chen Feng, the Hanzhong army is attacking Chang'an, what do I think you should do? It's time for you to taste the fire in the backyard."

When Cao Zhen led his army through Hanzhong, Cao Cao had contact with Zhang Luduo, and was afraid of Cao Cao's authority and military strength, so Zhang Lu had to borrow the way.

However, this time, he didn't understand the situation himself.Cao Cao's envoys persuaded him to go to Chang'an to plunder the population, and deliberately avoided many problems such as Chen Feng's soldiers and horses, and then persuaded Zhang Lu to send troops.

After all, humans are greedy.Even if Zhang Lu is the leader of the Five Dou Rice Sect, even if he has already occupied Hanzhong.

In Luoyang, when Chen Feng was actively preparing for the battle, Man Chong finally arrived under the escort of fifty cavalrymen. After presenting gifts and explaining his intentions, Chen Feng also had to meet this old friend.

"General You, we meet again. The last time I was outside Hulao Pass, thanks to your care, I was almost dismissed by the prime minister."

The two were originally hostile, and the battle outside Hulao Pass caused Man Chong a big loss. It was impossible to say that they were not angry when they just met.

"Bo Ning, sit down. If I don't work hard to attack, I'm afraid I may not be qualified to sit here and chat with you now. Tell me, what did Cao Cao ask you to do?"

Seeing Man Chong, Chen Feng also basically guessed Cao Cao's intentions, but he still had to be courteous with him first. Arguing is his specialty, but negotiating is not.

"General You, how does it feel to lose troops at Hulao Pass? Now, do you think that relying on this dilapidated city of Luoyang, you can resist my prime minister's army?

Before I came, I got the news that Hanzhong sent [-] troops to attack Chang'an. If I'm not mistaken, you, General You, don't have enough troops in Chang'an. "

Hearing Man Chong's words, Chen Feng could only roll his eyes and curse in his heart. After all, it wasn't all caused by Cao Cao.

"It's okay, just Zhang Lu, he can be destroyed with a single hand, so don't worry about Lao Boning."

"Oh? It seems that the right general is very confident. I don't know, what about the cavalry in Nanyang? Maybe the right general doesn't know yet. Wancheng Yujin sent troops to ambush some of your cavalry.

General Xia Houyuan led his elite troops to fight several battles with Pang De's troops, and wiped out countless enemies. It's really embarrassing to say that, the soldiers and horses deployed by General You in Nanyang lost troops and lost generals. "
