Chapter 479 Hanoi

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, Liu Bei from Xuzhou and Sun Ce from Jiangdong have been mobilizing troops and preparing to attack Yuan Shu. Only Liu Biao from Jingzhou said that he was seriously ill and could not go on an expedition. He only said that if the court sent troops to Jingzhou, he was willing to send troops to help. In this way, I'm afraid that the power to attack Yuan Shu is a little insufficient. In the Prime Minister's mansion, Xun Yu reported to Lv Bu.

"Ha ha, it seems that Liu Bei and Sun Ce have consolidated their respective forces and are ready to expand, which makes me a little surprised. However, Liu Biao's approach is the same as what I thought. It seems that we should pay more attention to Liu Bei and Sun Ce in the future. After listening to Xun Yu's words, Lv Bu nodded and said to himself.

"Although Liu Bei and Sun Ce are both ambitious people, Yuan Shu is not ordinary people. It's really difficult to win this battle." Xun Yu continued to say.

"We can just take a look and pass the order to select 50,000 elite soldiers from the grain army in Yongliang Erzhou and go to Hongnong. I want to train 100,000 elite soldiers in Hongnong." Lv Bu said thoughtfully.

"Are there 100,000 elite soldiers trained in Hongnong? The Prime Minister's idea is very good. I'm going to arrange it now. Hearing Lv Bu's words, Xun Yu smiled knowingly. Hongnong is located in Sizhou. Whether it is not far from Bingzhou, where Lv Bu is now using troops, or Wancheng, where Cao Cao's troops are stationed. Lv Bu is training in Hongnong, which can not only deter Yuan Shao, but also threaten Cao Cao. Once there is something windy, it is much easier to transfer troops directly from Hongnong than from other places.

"What's going on with Yuan Shao?" Lv Bu gathered 100,000 elite soldiers in Hongnong, and what he did was to prepare with both hands. At this time, Liu Bei and Sun Ce on Yuan Shu's side had already started, so there was nothing to worry about Lv Bu's book. As long as they fight, it would be good to pick up the bargain. Therefore, for Lv Bu, who really needs to worry about this matter is Yuan Shao. Once The war with Yuan Shao will be a protracted war, which is not easy to deal with.

"General Gao Shun has occupied the two counties of Shangdang and Hedong. At this time, he is stationing troops and Shangdang. At the same time, Yan Liang of Yuan Shao's army has also occupied Yanmen, Hexi, and Jinyang counties in Bingzhou. Now the two armies are facing each other, but General Gao Shun is surrounded by General Guan Hai and the support of the Yellow Turban Army on Taihang. He wants to deal with it. Yan Liang, there should be no problem. It's just that General Zhang Xiu, who is stationed in Hanoi, sent an official document saying that Wen Chou's army has arrived near Hanoi, hoping that the Prime Minister will send reinforcements and make an early plan. Xun Yu thought for a moment and said.

"Is there any way to avoid fighting with Yuan Shao at this time? I don't want to fight with the two Yuan brothers at the same time." After Lv Bu's eyelids moved slightly, he sighed and said that with Lv Bu's current strength against either Yuan Shu and Yuan Shaozhi alone, Lv Bu would never hesitate. However, if he fought with these two brothers at the same time, it would be really a little difficult. With Lv Bu's current power, he was not willing to take such a risk.

"Sometimes ago, Yuan Shao sent someone to come here and wanted the court to make him a general, but at that time, our army was using troops in Bingzhou, which was delayed. I thought that it could be used at this time." Xun Yu said.

"The position of the general? I'm afraid of a virtual position, so I can't let Yuan Shao stop. Lv Bu nodded and agreed with Xun Yu's opinion, but he said with some concern about it.

"Then ask the general to send troops to Jizhou, teach Yuan Shao some lessons, slap him and give him a sweet date. I think Yuan Shao should be more honest." Speaking of this, Xun Yu smiled.

"Hahaha, this is exactly what I want. The order goes down, and the wolf will ride to Hanoi three days later. Lv Bu preached.

At the head of Hanoi, Zhang Xiu's face was heavy, because in front of Zhang Xiu, outside Hanoi, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were standing quietly in a neat line. He saw a general, born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, but Wen Chou, a famous general from Hebei.

"Wenchou, you are so bold that you dare to make trouble. Don't you want to live? Why don't you leave quickly?" Seeing Wen Chou coming out, Zhang Xiu shouted loudly.

"Hahaha, Zhang Xiu, why do you say a lot of nonsense? If you have the courage, you can come and fight with Grandpa." When Wen Chou heard Zhang Xiu's words, he didn't care. He just shouted at Zhang Xiu at the top of the city.

"Hey hey, I am the governor of Hanoi. I am guarding Hanoi by the order of the imperial court. How can I be like you? If you have the ability, you can attack in." Zhang Xiu didn't care about Wen Chou's provocation. Although Wen Chou's soldiers and horses were obviously the elite and well-equipped soldiers in Yuan Shao's army, Zhang Xiu also had 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands and was blocked by the wall. Zhang Xiu was not worried about being attacked by Wen Chou. What's more, Zhang Xiu had reported to Lv Bu about the situation in Hanoi, Sizhou's soldiers and horses. The distance between the soldiers and horses of Gaoshun is not far away, and Zhang Xiu is naturally full of confidence.

"Well, I'm going to see how hard you can be." Seeing that Zhang Xiu didn't care, Wen Chou couldn't help but be angry. At the same time, he waved his hand behind him and ordered, "Order the army to attack the city."

"General, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this. Our army is mostly cavalry here, which is not suitable for attacking the city. It's better to station troops outside Hanoi and wait for the master's further orders." At this time, a general behind Wen Chou came out. This life was very majestic, but Wen Chou's deputy general Ju Yi.

"Ju Yi, you are also a famous general in Hebei. How can you be so timid? When I was all over the world, Zhang Xiu was just a baby, and it was rumored that the foot army began to attack the city. Cavalry cover." Originally provoked by Zhang Xiu, although Wen Chou was angry, he did not show it on his face. However, Ju Yi's words made Wen Chou very unhappy. You know that Wen Chou is very valued by Yuan Shao, and his heart is naturally very high. Ju Yi's words are obviously not optimistic about Wen Chou's battle. How can this make Wen Chou happy?

With the order of Wen Chou, Yuan Shao's army moved quickly. The cavalry behind him divided into two columns and surrounded Hanoi. In the middle of the two cavalry, the phalanx began to slowly advance forward.

"Bow and arrow ready." After the cavalry stood still, an order came. The knights who had been sitting on the war horses bent their bows and arrows and shot at the tower of Hanoi.

"Whew, swhew." The arrows fell on the tower like rain, and the power of the arrow rain carrier fell down, and there were bursts of sound of breaking through the sky. The people's hair was creepy.

"Shield Defense." Above the tower, an order to raise the shield to defend came. The soldiers who had been watching below the tower took action one after another, leaning against the edge of the women's wall one by one and raising the shield to defend.

"Kill." While the enemy on the tower was suppressed by the rain of arrows, Yuan Shao's infantry also launched a charge. They had to use this short time to approach the wall as soon as possible and then kill it.

"Hey hey, the pie is also good, but I, Zhang Xiu, have not been idle in Hanoi in the past two years, and my soldiers and horses are not bad." Seeing Yuan Shaojun's sharp cooperation, Zhang Xiu couldn't help nodding with admiration, but there was more excitement on Zhang Xiu's face.

"The archer is ready to shoot." Just as Yuan Shao's army approached the city wall of Hanoi, they heard an order. On the Hanoi Tower, many archers appeared in an instant. As soon as they came up, they had already found their target and shot the bow and arrow in their hands. Then he shrank and lost his trace from the top of the wall, as if it had never appeared before, so that the bow cavalry of Yuan Shao's army had no time to aim and shoot.

Under the city wall, he was injured by Zhang Xiujun's bow and arrow at this time, but a soldier suddenly fell down.

"Damn, what a cunning Zhang Xiu." Seeing this scene, Wen Chou could only be secretly angry, but there was nothing he could do. It must be separated by a wall. No matter how powerful Wen Chou is, he can't cross the wall to fight with Zhang Xiu.

"Wen Chou, do you only have this ability? Let's think of other ways." Seeing that Yuan Shaojun was stinged, Zhang Xiu shouted loudly to Wen Chou outside the city.

"Bastard Zhang Xiu, if you have the ability to fight with me, what's wrong with hiding in the wall?" Wen Chou was shocked by Zhang Xiu's anger, but he could only grit his teeth and continue to urge the soldiers to intensify his attack.

"It seems that this embroidery is a little capable. I don't have to worry about him in Hanoi." On a hill outside Hanoi, Lv Bu took several generals to look at the battle around the city wall of Hanoi and nodded.

"The prime partner is really full of talents." Next to Lv Bu, Guo Jia wrapped her body in a black robe and said in a trance.

"Sir, do you think of something unhappy again?" Looking at Guo Jia's dull expression, Lv Bu sighed and said.

"The Prime Minister, you don't have to worry about me. I'm afraid it's not for me to see these." Guo Jia wrapped his black robe and asked Lv Bu.

"Yuan Shu is the emperor. Sooner or later, I will fight with Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shao is strong in Hebei. I'm a little worried. Feng Xiao thinks what should I do?" Lv Bu looked at Guo Jia with a smile and asked.

"Ha ha, hasn't the Prime Minister already figured out a way to deal with Yuan Shao? At this time, do you want to compete with me?" The country asked with a smile.

"Hahaha, those who know me are filial." Hearing Guo Jia's words, Lv Bu laughed and turned his head to look at the vast Taihang Mountain.

Lv Bu had already sent Guan Hai to Taihang Mountain to contact the yellow scarf troops hiding in Taihang Mountain. He also planned to send Gao Shun to Taihang, train the yellow scarf army, and turn the yellow scarf army into an iron army. However, later, due to the death of Ma Teng, Bingzhou was empty, and Gao Shun was fooled, although the yellow scarf of Taihang Mountain was also We can support each other, but it is not enough to suppress Yuan Shao, because Yuan Shao's base camp is in Jizhou. If Lv Bu wants to suppress Yuan Shao, he must build a strong army in Taihang Mountain. He can attack Yuan Shao's counties at ordinary times, and can attack Yuan Shao's rear in war, which Gao Shun obviously can't do.
