I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 122
After Mei County was conquered, Zhang Liao and others discussed and decided not to stay too long, leaving [-] soldiers to stick to Mei County, and continued towards Xiliang the next day.

The army basically encountered no resistance in Chencang, because the enemy had already abandoned the defense. Originally, Zhang Liao had received information that Chencang and Mei County had a total of more than 1 defenders. Since more than [-] people were captured in Mei County, Chen Cang should be fine. garrison.

Leaving [-] elite soldiers to stick to Chencang, the main force of Zhang Liao and Xu Rong could not enter the city, and continued to march towards Xiliang.

In fact, the reason why Zhang Yu, the defender of Chencang, abandoned the defense was entirely because of Xu Xiao and Zhang Ye's flickering, and he half-pushed and half-heartedly agreed.

Xu Xiao and Zhang Ye acted as a defeated army that escaped from Mei County. The thousands of people behind them were all soldiers who participated in the siege. Their hands were stained with the blood of their comrades. Naturally, they completely fell to the Bingzhou Army, which was very reliable.

After arriving at Chencang, they brought the sad news that Zhang Xiu died and Mei County was captured by Zhang Liao's 10,000+ army.Zhang Yu naturally knew these two people, and also knew that Li Shimin was powerful, so he believed in what they said.

Zhang Yu thought about it, he only had more than a thousand defenders in his hands, and most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, Chen Cang would definitely not be able to defend himself.And I also heard that General Zhang Xiu asked them to go to Xiliang to join Ma Teng and Han Sui, and lead troops to take revenge in the future, so naturally they went down the donkey and followed them to Xiliang.

Immediately, he took hundreds of his own soldiers and fled from the city, leaving hundreds of old and weak to fend for themselves.

The three of them took the thousands of deserters and hurried towards Xiliang.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, Xu Xiao and Xu Xiao are still thinking about how to act, trick Zhang Yu, and let the army take a small path to bypass Guangwei County.

Because they knew the news that Zhao Yun's army had already occupied this place, if their group passed through Guangwei County in a majestic manner and retreated to Tianshui, the two of them would definitely be exposed.

However, the spies sent by Ma Teng and the others to investigate the situation in Guanzhong were discovered by the scouts in Zhao Yun's army, and they were being chased and killed by the scouts.

Based on the military uniform and the current situation, Xu Xiao judged that the person being hunted down must be a spy sent by Ma Teng and the other two, and immediately ordered the army to rush up and wipe out the scouts and save the person being hunted down.

After Xu Xiaoliang revealed his identity and explained his purpose of coming, this person told the whole truth, which was exactly the same as his judgment.

Just in time for the meeting, Xu Xiao rescued Ma Teng and sent spies. Of course, the scouts were all killed by Xu Xiao's people.

Since he wanted to catch big fish, he had to be willing to spend his capital. Xu Xiao believed that Li Shimin would not be entangled in the life and death of these scouts.But this made Zhang Ye, who knew the inside story, very nervous. After all, his group was new, and he was worried that this move would cause trouble.

Seeing Zhang Ye's worry, Xu Xiao secretly nodded to him to tell him not to be nervous.

At the moment, everyone didn't stay too long, Xu Xiao and his group of deserters retreated to Tianshui along the mountain path, bypassing Guangwei County.

…………

In order to cooperate with Jia Xu's plan to capture Luoyang, Lu Bu led more than [-] Tigers and Ben troops to attack Hangu Pass. For a while, the Hangu Pass defenders were panicked, and immediately closed the four gates. At the same time, he sent a letter to Zhang Yang in Luoyang asking for reinforcements.
Lu Bu's great reputation really cast a heavy shadow on the soldiers under Zhang Yang's command, so much so that talking about "Lu" turned pale.

Although Li Shimin's order to Lu Bu was to defend Tongguan, he would send troops to Luoyang after Xiliang was pacified.At that time, the main consideration was the lack of food and grass, and the force to attack Luoyang was not dominant.That's why Li Shimin ordered Lu Bu to wait for him to pacify Xiliang before sending the main force to attack Luoyang, which is safer.

But later, Jia Xu offered a plan to take Luoyang without bloodshed, and recommended a capable person to persuade him to surrender, so Li Shimin moved his mind.

Out of trust in Jia Xu, and now supported by a large amount of money and food stored in Mei County, he changed his strategy, let Lv Bu and Jia Xu play by ear, and ordered Cheng Lian to follow Lv Bu's order and jointly wait for the opportunity to take Luoyang. There are [-] troops that can be mobilized.

After taking Luoyang, he moved eastward to occupy the Hulao, guarding the east gate of Luoyang.

Although it is a bit risky, it is worth a try.

…………

Zhang Yang and others in Luoyang City also received news from the guard of Hangu Pass, and they were caught off guard for a while when they heard that Lu Bu had led an army to attack in a large scale.

From Zhang Yang's point of view, although Lv Bu entered Tongguan, he would not invade immediately.Li Shimin at least waited until Xiliang was pacified and the rear was stabilized before leading the army to take Luoyang in person, which was naturally the most stable.

So he thinks he can still enjoy a period of peace.

But they didn't expect Li Shimin to attack them suddenly, which made Zhang and Yang panic for a while.

Originally, the two of them thought about it before, but they couldn't make up their minds. They didn't know whether it was a war or a peace. Although Xu Huang stood up to boost morale, the two of them didn't take his words to heart.

Until now, the two of them still acted like they were passing by, and they still didn't have any good ideas, which made Xu Huang very disappointed with the two of them.

…………

In Luoyang City, Zhang Yangjun's White Tiger Festival Hall, and a group of generals were all present. Facing Lu Bu's sudden attack, everyone was helpless.

Zhang Yang asked with some expectation: "Which general is willing to lead the army to Hangu Pass to fight Lu Bu?"

In fact, later Zhang Yang also came up with a compromise, that is, to resist for a while, to test the reality of the Bingzhou Army, and to see the reaction of the world's princes, in case he can hold it, as for if he can't hold it, Then it depends on who surrenders.

Although Zhang Yang did not explain his thoughts to the generals, everyone seemed to understand what he was thinking.

Therefore, the generals in the army bowed their heads and remained silent, unwilling to fight Lu Bu's army.If Li Shimin surrendered at that time, and his hands were stained with the blood of Bingzhou soldiers, what future would there be?

Just when Zhang Yang was disappointed, a familiar figure stood up, begging for orders like Hong Zhong: "General, the final general is willing to lead the troops to Hangu Pass to take over the enemy."

Everyone followed the reputation, and it turned out to be Xu Huang, a general under Yang Feng's command.Everyone saw that it was him, a little-known young general who dared to challenge Lu Bu. He really didn't know what to do, so everyone looked at him with contempt.

Yang Feng on the side had a gloomy expression, panting heavily, as if he was suppressing the anger in his heart.In fact, he also knew Lu Bu's reputation. When he was still in the Baibo army, he had fought against this man and knew how powerful he was.

Naturally, he didn't want to stand out, and he didn't want to let his soldiers go to die. As a result, Xu Huang didn't know what to do, but he wanted to fight Lu Bu, and he had to bring his own troops. Isn't this weakening his own strength?

And he also knew that Luoyang could not be guarded for a long time, and he could only rely on one powerful party in the future.I have soldiers in my hands, no matter who I go to, I will be tough.

This makes Yang Feng how can he not be angry.
