Chapter 385 The Great Army went south

In the laughter of the women, Li Zhong finally retreated. He quickly ran out of the royal palace, looked inside, touched the sweat on his forehead, and said with lingering lingering heart, "Oh, I swear to Ma that I really didn't do anything to that little girl. Hey, why don't they just believe me?" Li Zhong seemed to I'm talking to myself.

"Lord, I believe you," Dian Wei patted his chest, looked like I believed you very much, and said to Li Zhong.

When Li Zhong heard this, he immediately cried and said, "Come on, you can trust me if you know anything."

"I believe in the lord no matter what," Dian Wei stared at Li Zhong with his big eyes and said to Li Zhong with a sincere face.

While Li Zhong felt a little funny, there was a warm current in his heart and patted Dian Wei's chest heavily. Li Zhong said to him, "Are you ready?"

"Don't worry, the lord, 5,000 iron guards are ready, just waiting for the lord's order," Dian Wei said excitedly to Li Zhong, and there will be another war. The happiest thing is a fierce man like Dian Wei, and the bloodthirsty expression in his eyes is even more obvious.

"Okay, let's go"

With the two fierce generals and 5,000 iron guards, he flew out of Luoyang City.

The Tang army camp outside Luoyang City.

"Your Majesty, the army has been assembled," Huang Zhong, the commander of the Seventh Army, shouted.

"Well, Han Sheng did a good job," Li Zhong praised.

Huang Zhong was excited again when he heard the words.

"Zhao Fan, Gongsundu"

"King"

"You two stay in Luoyang and are responsible for escorting the grain and grass, but you have any objection," Li Zhong looked at them.

"Yes, king", although the two were a little disappointed, they still agreed. They knew that escorting grain and fodder was also a very important task. The so-called three armies did not move grain and fodder to let them guard the rear and escort grain and fodder, which did not mean that Li Zhong looked down on them, but trusted them, and they also knew it in their hearts.

Li Zhong nodded and said, "Yiyi, Manchester City, Feng Xian."

"King", three people came out.

"The three of you led the army out of Xuanyuan Pass to attack Yingchuan, bypassed Runan and Liang County, and then met in Pengcheng," Li Zhong said.

"Yes", the three people's eyes flashed with Xiong's fighting spirit, shouted and agreed.

"The rest of the army followed me out of the water pass and rushed straight to Henan. In addition, after Zilong took Qingzhou, the army converged in Xuzhou. I want to break through Cao Cao with a pincer-shaped offensive." Li Zhong punched Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou on the map.

If the map of the military route is marked from the map, the army deployed by Li Zhong this time is in accordance with the forceps-shaped offensive. First of all, the army out of Xiegu can form a pincer-shaped offensive with the army out of Wuguan, and meet the left and right; the army out of Xuanyuan Pass can form a pincer-shaped offensive with the army out of Wuguan and out of the water pass. The army can form a clamp-shaped offensive with the army coming out of Xuanyuan Pass, and the army out of Jizhou can form a clamp-shaped offensive with the army coming out of the Fenshui Pass. As long as the leader is not an idiot, can keep pace with the army, and will not be greedy for merit, several armies can support each other, which can be said to be impeccable.

"This time, three gentlemen, Feng Xiao, Wen He and Zhicai, will follow me." This war is really too important, so Li Zhong brought three advisers who are at the peak in this era at one time, which shows his importance he attaches to this war.

"Yes, king", the three of them are also resourceful people. They suddenly saw Li Zhong's meaning and immediately bowed.

"Very good, I hope all the generals will work together and live up to my expectations," Li Zhong looked at the people in the account and said with a solemn expression.

"We are willing to go through fire and water for the king, and the horse leather will return the body." Everyone stood upright like javelin, bowed to Li Zhong with solemn expressions and shouted loudly.

Li Zhonghao smiled and said, "Okay, in this case, I order the army to set out immediately."

"Yes"

With Li Zhong's order, hundreds of thousands of troops moved, and the army led by Li Zhong set out at the latest.

"Zi Jing, Mr. Yuan Hao, I will give it to you in the rear," Li Zhongchao, Lu Su and others hugged their fists and said solemnly.

"Don't worry, king, we will not let the king down," several people nodded and agreed.

Li Zhong nodded, looked at Luoyang from afar, and said to Zhou Yu, "Gongjin, you are rushing to Qinhuangdao immediately. Remember, you must act secretly and must not be exposed."

"Master, don't worry, Yu understands," Zhou Yu said solemnly.

"Well, I have to say goodbye to you for thousands of miles, so let's send it here." Li Zhong said to several people, and Li Zhong chased after the army under the escort of Dian Wei and Xu Chu.

"I'll wait here for the triumph of the king," Tian Feng and others looked at Li Zhong's back and said with a little emotion.

Lu Su took a look at several people and said with a smile, "Okay, let's all go back."

Six people looked at each other and smiled, nodded, and headed for Luoyang City.

Cao Cao and others also felt the atmosphere of the war, and Cao Cao also moved the office to Xuzhou a year ago. If the office remains in Xuchang at this time, it would be a little pretentious.

Xuzhou Weiwang Mansion.

"Your Majesty, according to the news from the detective, the Tang army divided five ways south, and at least three of them were coming for us," Cao Cao's counselor Cheng Yu said with a worried face.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "I don't know if everyone has a plan to retreat the enemy."

"Your Majesty, Li Zhong's armies are advancing side by side. As long as one side is in trouble, the other armies can support in time, so... As long as our army can find the opportunity to annihilate all the way, it can make it impossible to look at each other at the beginning and end," the counselor Xun Yu said thoughtfully, with a little light in his eyes.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, but they dimmed in an instant and said, "Zhang Jian, Zhao Yun and others are not as cunning as foxes. They will definitely not be fooled."

"Your Majesty, that's not true," Xun Yu smiled and retorted.

"Oh" What are your opinions?" Cao Cao asked curiously.

Xun Yu bowed to Cao and said, "Your Majesty, you said that if our army is willing to fight against Zhao Yun together with Tian Kai. If Zhao Yun is blocked, will Li Zhong send troops to support? If he does not support, hehe, then let's concentrate our troops to annihilate Zhao Yun's army first. If he sends troops to support, then Zhang Jian or Li Zhong, we can do it all the way. As long as we successfully annihilate the way, the initiative of the battlefield will be in the hands of our army, hehe."

"Haha, okay, Wen Ruozhi's words really made me open up." Cao Cao pondered for a moment, swept away the haze of the past, and said with a laugh. In his opinion, Xun Yu's plan may be very simple, but it is very practical. If he can really achieve the predetermined record, then he will counterattack the northern states at that time. None of them are impossible.

And Cheng Yuzhong and others also showed admiration.

"Okay, immediately order Bo Ren (Xiahou Shang) not have to defend Xuchang and retreat to Dingtao if necessary. As long as the northwest gate of Yanzhou is guarded, the Tang army will not be able to go south. Zike (Lv Qian) You immediately lead an army of 30,000 to Dingtao to help Zijian defend Dingtao"

"Yes, my lord", the two of them made a promise.

After a pause, Cao Cao continued: "The decree must guard Yang Qu. If necessary, you can retreat to the area of the State of Chen in Runan. Cao Hong, you should immediately lead 50,000 troops to the area of the State of Chen in Runan to defend."

"Yes, king," Cao Hong answered in a loud voice.

"In addition, send someone to inform Liu Dai, the fool, and ask him to send someone to strictly guard against the white horse and Wuchao. I am almost sure that the Tang army in Jizhou must gather in Liyang, then cross the Yellow River to march to the white horse, and then attack Qingzhou from west to east (Cao Cao now does not know that Liu Dai's family was sent to Luoyang a year ago), Cao Cao He snorted coldly and said sarcasticly.

"In addition, Changwen (Chen Qun), you must go to Qingzhou immediately and convince Tian Kai that Kong Rong and our army will jointly fight against the Tang army," Cao Cao said to Chen Qun.

"Don't worry, King," Chen Qun said with his fist.

"Well, let's take action. As long as we work together, we will definitely defeat the Tang army. It's time for our army to wave our troops north. I hope you don't live up to my expectations." Cao Cao stood up, hugged everyone and said with a solemn expression.

"Yes," everyone replied concisely.

And when Liu Biao, Liu Xie and others saw millions of Tang troops going south, they also looked like everyone was in danger. Among them, the Baishui Pass, an important pass between Hanzhong and Yizhou, has increased from 5,000 defenders to 30,000 defenders, and the White Horse Pass bordering Jingzhou has also been under martial law and 30,000 defenders.

Liu Biao also put 50,000 troops in Fancheng for fear that the Tang army would take the opportunity to go south to Xiangyang.

At this time, a team that seemed to be businessmen left Chengdu and headed east.

However, it was said that the 180,000 army led by Li Zhong arrived at Fenshuiguan in less than two days.

"Lv Bu, Wenpin", all the literary ministers and generals gathered together in the Fenshui Pass.

"King"

"I ordered you two to be pioneers and lead 20,000 light horses in front of you to open the road," Li Zhong looked at them and smiled.

The two were happy in an instant and said quickly, "Yes."

"Two hours after the order, the army set off"

"Yes"

Now Cao Cao's side is in an absolute defensive position and has no intention of attacking at all. The Tang army also seems to have seen that there is a lot of fanfare all the way, let alone a trace of low-key.

Wherever the army passed, it was expected to fall. Rongyang, Zhongmu and Changshe all fell without fighting.

In only three days, Lv Buwen and the two of them rushed to Xuchang City.

Xu Changshou looked at the neat and fierce cavalry under the city and muttered in his heart.

"Listen, the turtle grandson upstairs, I am Lv Bu, a general under the command of the King of Tang. If you don't want to die, you will immediately open the city and surrender, otherwise, after entering the city, the chickens and dogs will not stay." Lv Bu came out arrogantly, and Fang Tianhua halberd pointed to the tower and shouted.

"General, this"

"What's the panic? Don't you see that the enemy is all cavalry? Can they still fly into Xuchang City?" Xia Houshang scolded.
