And that hateful Yin Kui, in order to deceive them, actually lived in Nanyang County and did not leave, Liu Bei did not dare to neglect him, after all, what they did was wrong.

Zhao Yan looked at the city wall in front of him and said, "General Guan, it's not an option for us to waste ourselves like this."

The army is out and consumes a lot of food and grass. They are not like Cao Shuo, who have a lot of money and a lot of food.

Although a lot of food and horses were exchanged from Cao Shuo, they were useless. Horses could not attack the city, and among the surrounding princes, they could also attack Dong Zhuo.

Guan Yu said dejectedly: "Such a high city wall is not much less than Hulao Pass. Our soldiers are not many, so we can only hope that Yide can surprise the back of Wuguan smoothly."

Zhao Yan said: "Although Dong Zhuo put heavy troops in Hongnong County, this place is more important than Hangu Pass. If Wuguan fails, we can go straight to Chang'an. Dong Zhuo will definitely send reinforcements!"

"Crench!"

In the middle of the night, the gate of Wuguan opened suddenly. In order to prevent the opponent from sneaking out of the city, Zhao Yan specially sent someone to pay attention when it was closed.

"Boom!"

A group of cavalry rushed out of the city directly. The scouts were terrified and hurriedly jumped on their horses and ran back to the camp.

"Report, it's not good, Dong Zhuo's army has left the customs."

Guan Yu was shocked, what was the other party's intention when he left the barrier at this time?Hastily asked: "How many soldiers and horses does the opponent have?"

"I can't see clearly, I just feel that there are a steady stream of cavalry rushing out from behind the pass."

Zhao Yan yelled, "Not good!"

"Close the gate of the village tightly, and all the cavalry will meet the enemy with me!"

Guan Yu led [-] cavalry and directly stopped the Xiliang iron cavalry who were attacking.

When Guan Yu saw the torch stretching for several miles, he was horrified. How many people are there?

"Kill it!"

Puff puff!

Countless arrows were shot, and it was too late for Guan Yu's cavalry to fight back. Fortunately, in this dark night, even with torches, the field of vision was very limited.

The opponent didn't want to hurt his own soldiers, so he didn't keep riding and shooting.

Guan Yu only felt that after wave after wave of slashing, the soldiers under him died wave after wave.

The two sides fought until early in the morning. Guan Yu looked at the corpses of the soldiers around him and was horrified. Except for hundreds of guards, all his cavalry were dispersed.

"withdraw!"

In Guan Yu's camp, the horn sounded to retreat, and Zhao Yan led the infantry to retreat to Nanxiang, using Danshui as a line of defense, blocking Guo Si's iron cavalry.

Zhao Yan counted the soldiers. Except for the heavy losses of the cavalry, the infantry did not lose much.

"General Guan, Xi County is an important place to enter and complete, and it must not be lost!"

Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "I will personally lead [-] soldiers to defend, and you send someone to inform the eldest brother, so that he can send reinforcements over."

In this battle, Guan Yu was very depressed. He didn't know how many cavalry the opponent had, so he was almost wiped out by the opponent.

And Guo Bang, who was stationed in Danshui City, was really overjoyed. He found that Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were not many. If it weren't for Guan Yu's bravery, he would definitely be able to take down Liu Bei's soldiers and horses in this battle.

"General, our army has [-] cavalry and lost more than [-] troops!"

Listening to the report of his subordinates, Guo Si didn't care, there were only 4000 people, he could afford to lose, and the opponent's cavalry was not much at all. In this way, the subsequent battles would be much easier.

Guo Si called his son Guo Kang and said: "Kanger, you lead [-] cavalry back to Wuguan, and then ask the generals of Wuguan to lead [-] infantry to support me. You are in charge of guarding Wuguan."

"promise!"

It is absolutely no problem for Guo Kang to defend Wuguan with [-] cavalry and [-] infantry. There is still his own army in front, and Liu Bei will never even think about stepping on Danshui in the future.

Looking at the Xiliang cavalry patrolling south of Danshui, Zhao Yan narrowed his eyes and thought of a clever plan.

"Come here, General Guan, please come!"

Chapter 313 Xi Zhicai seeks to decide Hongnong, third shift

Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Chen Qun, and Xi Zhicai sat facing each other in the Sheriff's Mansion of Anyi County, Hedong County.

Xi Zhicai said: "General Zhao, according to our army's intelligence, Dong Zhuo sent Guo Si to Wuguan, and there are still [-] troops left in Hongnong County."

Zhao Yun looked at Xi Zhicai and asked, "According to Mr. Ji's plan, what should our army do?"

Xi Zhicai has always been by Cao Shuo's side, and can be said to be Cao Shuo's confidant, and Xi Zhicai is involved in many of Cao Shuo's decisions.

Before Cao Shuo left, Trick Zhicai was sent to Hedong County to command them to attack Hongnong County at the right time.

Xi Zhicai said: "The other party knew that our army had taken over Hedong County, yet they dared to mobilize troops from Hongnong County. This exposed Dong Zhuo's two problems."

"What's the problem?" Gao Shun asked puzzled.

"First, Dong Zhuo must guard against Ma Teng in Xiliang on the one hand, and garrison Zuo Fengling on the other, so there must be insufficient troops."

"Second, knowing that our army will cross the Yellow River, the other party has to withdraw part of its troops, which shows that they have left behind."

Chen Qun thought for a while and said: "Mr. Zhicai means that the other party is very likely to give us a false impression that they will give up Hongnong County and let our army cross the river without any scruples, and then the guards at Hangu Pass and Tong Pass Army, attack from both sides?"

Xi Zhicai nodded and said: "According to the Tanma News, the guard at Hangu Pass has changed, from Li Meng to Yang Ding. Li Meng led the soldiers from Hangu Pass and retreated to Hongnong City!"

Zhao Yun frowned and asked, "Isn't Yang Ding the commander of the cavalry? What is he doing in Hangu Pass?"

Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "The purpose is self-evident. After our army crosses the Yellow River, we can quickly support Hongnong City!"

Gao Shun was shocked: "Are they going to give up Hangu Pass?"

Xi Zhicai said: "After our army has crossed the river, Hangu Pass is a weak point for them. If they can severely damage our army in Hedong County, even if they lose Hangu Pass, it will not be a big deal."

Zhao Yun asked: "How to solve this plan?"

If Gao Shun was alone, he would definitely not be able to face the three armies from Tongguan, Hanguguan, and Hongnongcheng at the same time, but if he went by himself, Dong Zhuo would most likely attack Hedong County from Zuo Fengling.

There may even be a possibility of attracting Lu Bu's army, so we must think of a perfect plan.

Xi Zhicai took a sip of tea and said, "It's not difficult to break!"

The three of them looked at Xi Zhicai in unison. It would be good to have a counselor around. They don't need to use their brains at all, they just need to follow the plan.

"General Zhao can send a lieutenant general to pretend to be a general, stationed in Xie County, and practice soldiers outside the city every day, which can be used to confuse Zuo Fengling's guards!"

"Master Chen is stationed in Linfen. Prepare more fire starters and hide them in the city. If Lu Bu comes to attack, you only need to keep a few people behind. After Lu Bu enters the city, set fire to it. It would be best if he doesn't come."

"General Gao led five thousand of his men into the camp, sneaked across the Yellow River from Dongheng, and hid in a forest [-] miles north of Mianchi. When Yang Ding led the cavalry to support Hongnong, the general could join Gucheng The guard Han Hao attacked Hangu Pass from both sides."

"After the Hangu Pass is taken down, the two of you will lead the brigade of cavalry to rush to Hongnong."

Xi Zhicai looked at Zhao Yun and said, "General Zilong can lead [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, under the banner of General Gao, cross the river from Dayang to attack Shan County, and then go to Hongnong!"

Zhao Yun exclaimed, "Mister's plan is brilliant!"

"The generals act according to the plan, and I will lead five thousand soldiers to support you at any time in Dayang City!"

"promise!"

Zhao Yun led an army of [-] to the bank of the Yellow River in Dayang County, and immediately organized people to cross the river by boat.

"The cavalry passed 3000 people first, stabilized their positions, and then the infantry quickly crossed the river."

"promise!"

Li Meng's army lying in ambush on the bank of the Yellow River saw a boat approaching from the other side of the river, and hurriedly asked, "General, are we going to attack?"

Li Meng thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, we'll attack again after all the opponents have crossed the river. When the time comes, we will act according to the order. We will fight for a while, then pretend to be invincible and retreat to Shan County."

"We stopped the opponent in Shan County for two days, and then withdrew to Hongnong County. The opponent will definitely pursue our army at all costs. At that time, we will attack from all sides with the defenders of Tongguan, Hongnong, and Hangu Pass. Let Gao Shun come and go."

"The general's plan is brilliant!"

The corner of Li Meng's mouth twitched, and he didn't explain too much. This was a plan Li Ru gave him. How could he think of this.

Li Meng's soldiers watched as all the soldiers of 'Gaoshun' on the other side crossed the river.

"Come on..."

"Kill it..."

"Catch Gao Shun alive!"

Zhao Yun, who was standing in front of the formation, saw the more than 5000 cavalrymen on the other side, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. With such a small number of people, how dare they come to sneak attack?

"The enemy shoots arrows within three hundred steps!"

Zhao Yun's lieutenant general asked, "General, three hundred paces is too far!"

Although their soldiers have undergone special training and their archery skills are becoming more and more exquisite, but for three hundred steps, even Lu Bu may not have that much strength.

Zhao Yun explained: "The opponent's cavalry is rushing forward. When the arrow arrives, it must not be [-] paces, and the opponent will also ride and shoot. It will definitely shoot at our army. If we don't suppress the opponent in advance, our army will fall. Not a small loss."

"General Gao Ming!"

"Puff puff!"

After Li Meng's soldiers entered [-] steps, countless arrows shot at them. Li Meng was surprised. Could it be that they are all strongmen? They started shooting arrows from such a long distance.

Brush brush!

The arrow landed fifty paces in front of Li Meng's cavalry, which made them laugh out loud. How dare you come to the battlefield to die with such ability to command the troops?

Li Meng roared: "Within eighty steps, prepare to shoot the arrow!"

"promise!"

"Puff puff!"

When the second round of arrows came, Li Meng's vanguard had already taken advantage of the situation. When he wanted to counterattack, he found that the opponent's third round of arrows was ready.

"My grass..."

Li Meng was terrified, his soldiers avoided the arrows one after another, and a few scattered arrows shot at the soldiers of 'Gao Shun', the damage was completely negligible.

Zhao Yun yelled, and said: "The cavalry outflanks, shoot them to death!"

Li Meng was surprised when he saw that two cavalrymen suddenly rushed out of the opponent's lineup, outflanking his left and right lanes.

"Get out!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Zhao Yun's [-] cavalrymen pursued Li Meng closely, and killed them all the way to the city of Shan County, where Zhao Yun stopped pursuing.

Li Meng looked at the soldiers who had fled back, and was very angry in his heart. There were only less than 1000 left among the [-] soldiers. This loss was a bit big, and the bait was a bit too much.

"General, the opponent has already started attacking the city!"

"what?"

Li Meng looked confused, doesn't the other party need to set up a camp?

Chapter 314 I will take you to Jizhou to enjoy the glory and wealth

In the county office of Lu'an City, Liu Ye frowned. At this time, Yuan Shu asked him to go to Shouchun, so he wanted to reward him?

But he has already planned to leave, whether Qu Shouchun can come out alive is a question.

"Come on, call Huang Yi!"

After a while, Huang Yi came to Liu Ye's mansion. He was surprised when he saw the soldiers outside the door. These were the king's personal guards.

"Liu Juncheng, what do these guards outside the door do?"

Liu Ye explained: "The lord asked me to go to Shouchun to serve, and specially sent his personal guards to pick me up."

"Oh? Then congratulations, Mr. Liu, for being promoted."

Huang Yi was overjoyed, he was Liu Ye's old subordinate, and his immediate boss was promoted, so the position of the county magistrate was not his own?

"Hey!"

Liu Ye sighed, and Huang Yi hurriedly asked, "My lord is promoted, why do you still look sad?"

"Liao County is at your fingertips. If you let me transfer away at this time, wouldn't it ruin the big thing?"

Huang Yi said calmly: "Your Excellency, even if you leave, with me here, I will definitely be able to regain the lost counties."

Liu Ye took a deep look at him, and said, "You can't keep Liang Gang down, and when there is internal strife, I'm afraid this Lujiang County will become someone else's possession."

Huang Yi said: "Your Excellency, I don't know. The king sent Lei Xu, Chen Lan, and Mei Gan to lead an army of tens of thousands to Lujiang County, and they are now attacking Yangquan."
