Chapter 461 Battle of Sizhou
"Why did you leave like this? You haven't answered my question yet." Xiahou Dun stood in front of Xu Huang, blocked Xu Huang's way, and said.
"Either go back with me to see Mr. Cao and join us from now on, or die here. There are two ways. You can choose one." Just as Xiahou Dun blocked Xu Huang's way, Xia Houyuan also came from one side and blocked the road behind Xu Huang. The two attacked back and forth and blocked Xu Huang in the middle. They didn't agree and wanted to kill Xu Huang on the spot.
"Are there only these two roads? Well, well, I've decided." Seeing that his situation was not optimistic, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan attacked back and forth. Xu Huang lengthened his voice and made a painful determination. However, when the two were focused and wanted to listen to Xu Huang's next words, Xu Huang shouted, and the horse came out. With a long axe in his hand, he suddenly split an axe at Xiahou Dun and drank at the same time. He said, "I choose the third way."
"Good thief, how dare you fool me." When Xiahou Dun reacted, Xu Huang had already sheltered. Xiahou Dun had no time to cross the long knife in his hand and harden the power of Xu Huang's axe.
I only heard the sound of "Dang" that Xu Huang's split was very powerful. Xiahou Dun, with his horse, was shocked and retreated. Xiahou Dun was only this time to retreat. Xu Huang slightly calmed down the anti-shock power from his hand, and the horse passed by Xiahou Dun, and there was no intention of falling in love at all.
"Damn it, Xu Huang, you dare to fool me. I swear, I will kill you." After being done by Xu Huang, Xiahou Dun was shocked and angry. Originally, Xiahou Dun thought that Xu Huang was a talent and wanted to subdue this person for Cao Cao, so he kept his hand everywhere. He thought that Xu Huang did not accept his love at all, nor did he mean to follow Cao Cao.
"Don't worry, I won't keep my hand when we meet next time. I just hope you can be as lucky as me next time and don't be killed." Seeing that he rushed out, Xu Huang also turned around and said jokingly to Xia Hou Dun. At this time, as soon as Yang Feng died, Xu Huang was free and took Yang Feng's body back for good life and burial. This is also worthy of Yang Feng. As for his future destination, Xu Huang thought very clearly that Lv Bu was not bad. He had great ambition and strength. Although he followed Yang Feng before, he was also a member of Lv Bu's army. Instead, there is no need to change the foyer for someone else. Thinking of this, Xu Huang didn't think much about it. He packed up the remaining soldiers and horses and went to Hongnong to find Jia Xu.
"Brother, should we hunt down and kill characters like Xu Huang and Xu Huang? Since they can't be used for me, we should eradicate them as soon as possible." Looking at Xu Huang's back, Xiahou Yuan came to Xiahou Dun and said.
"No, the task given to me by Ming Gong is Luoyang. I can't delay any more. As for Xu Huang, there will be a chance in the future." Xiahou Dun calmed down, but finally gave up his plan to pursue Xu Huang. Although Xiahou Dun was conceited, he was loyal to Cao Cao. Since Cao Cao had an order, he would naturally not disobey.
"In this case, my younger brother also has military affairs, so I will leave." After listening to Xiahou Dun's words, Xiahou Yuan also nodded and left. Unlike Xiahou Dun's order, Xiahou Yuan's task was to raise food for the army on the spot. Xiahou Yuan took over the food in recent days. His task was not easy.
On this day, Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong were patrolling up and down Lushan. They saw the brocade flags in the northeast to cover the sky and the sun. Obviously, a large group of soldiers and horses came and stayed nearby. Then they saw it clearly that it was not someone else who came from Yingchuan.
"General Lv Bu's army has arrived. Let's go and see him soon." Seeing Lv Bu coming with a large army, Zhang Liao greeted him and hurriedly greeted him with Hua Xiong and other generals.
"Zhang Liao, you have worked hard on the matter of Wancheng." Seeing Zhang Liao and everyone rushing over, Lv Bu first said hello. At the beginning, he got Sizhou for Lv Bu. In order to consolidate Sizhou's defense, Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong took 20,000 horses and seized Yuan Shu's Wancheng. In the face of the superior forces of Yuan Shu's army and the efforts made by Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong, Lv Bu still understood it very well. So as soon as they met, Lv Bu took the lead and said that it must be Lv Bu who let them go this time. Abandoned Wancheng. When Lv Bu said this, their hearts suddenly warmed up.
"Thank you, General Lu Bu, for your concern. I'm just waiting to do what I should do." Seeing Lv Bu's words, the hard work of the past few days suddenly disappeared, and Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong showed joy on their faces. They lost the battle this time and lost soldiers. Originally, they didn't know how to talk to Lv Bu. Now Lv Bu said this, they were deeply moved.
After two meetings, Lv Bu left Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong to continue to garrison in Lushan. At the same time, they monitored Wancheng and guarded against the combination of Cao Cao and Yuan Shu's armies. Then he took the army around Wancheng and went straight to Sizhou to wait for the opportunity to find the Cao army to fight.
Cao's army attacked Sizhou, and Wancheng could not bypass it. Because Wancheng guarded the southern part of Sizhou. Only by occupying Wancheng could Cao's army advance and retreat. It would not be completely besieged by Lv Bu's army in Sizhou, while Lv Bu was different. Yongzhou and Yanzhou were in Lv Bu's hands. After Lv Bu's army entered Sizhou, it could completely rely on Yongzhou can receive food and fodder through the Hangu Pass, and Yanzhou can also receive food and fodder through the Hu Prison Pass. There is no danger of being besieged by Cao's army. Therefore, the most important thing for Lv Bu now is not to be safe, but to enter Sizhou as soon as possible to understand the latest war situation, and not let the Cao army control the whole Sizhou, which is the extreme delay of Lv Bu at this time. .
But on the other side, after Jia Xu learned the news of the attack of Cao's army, he decided to take all the grain and grass from Sizhou to Hongnong, taking Hongnong as a stronghold to defend against the invasion of Cao's army. Although Jia Xu's hard-wall Qingye work was not very thorough due to Cao's fierce arrival, the good thing is that the essence of Sizhou has been brought to Hongnong by Jia Xu. In addition, when Zhang Ji sat in Hongnong, he made a good construction of Hongnong's defense, and there is Yongzhou behind it. Jia Xu is not afraid of Cao's attack. As for Luoyang and other places, although Lv Bu's army occupied Sizhou more and more, it only had time to clean up the ruins in Luoyang City. Even now, Luoyang is still dilapidated, thin, and the terrain around Luoyang is flat, and it is not suitable for defense. Jia Xu believes that as long as Lv Bu's army comes, it will only sweep the Cao army. It's a matter of time.
"General Xu Huang, you did a good job. You can escape back with the body of General Yang Feng under the joint attack of Xia Houyuan and Xiahou Dun, the two fierce generals of Cao Cao. It is enough to see that you are a talent. I will report this matter to General Lv Bu to celebrate your success. But now that Cao's army is under pressure, General Huang Yao and Xu Huang have contributed more. From now on, Yang Feng's headquarters will be handed over to the general. Knowing that Yang Feng was shot with an arrow by Xia Houyuan, Jia Xu couldn't help showing regret. Originally, Sizhou's defense was relatively weak. Yang Feng was not Lv Bu's direct line. He could stand up when Sizhou was in danger. Jia Xu was still very happy, but he didn't expect Yang Feng to be so short-lived and died in the battlefield so soon. As for this Xu Huang Jia Xu doesn't understand. In Jia Xu's opinion, if what Xu Huang said is true and he can save Yang Feng's body in front of Xia Hou Dun and Xia Houyuan, it means that Xu Huang is a talent, but Xu Huang is only a general under Yang Feng. Does he really have such ability? This made Jia Xu a little suspicious. Of course, Jia Xu could not condemn Xu Huang because of suspicion, so he was promoted to Xu Huang's official position, but he couldn't help but be vigilant. Originally, when Yang Feng was here, Hongnong's defense could rely on Yang Feng. At this time, Yang Feng died in the battle. Most of Sizhou's soldiers and horses were new soldiers, which was useless, which made Jia Xu difficult. Fortunately, in order to enrich Sizhou's defense, a few days ago, Jia Xu wrote to Xun Yu and temporarily transferred Pang De, who was stationed in Tongguan, to Sizhou to help. It makes Jia Xu feel a little more stable now.
"Thank you for your appreciation. I will do my best not to disappoint you." Hearing that Jia Xu let himself command the people left by Yang Feng, Xu Huang was overjoyed, which showed that Xu Huang finally had a day to stand out. As long as he performed well in the future battles, he would definitely be recognized by Lv Bu, and becoming Lv Bu's direct line was just around the corner. In contrast, Xu Huang was still very confident in his strength. .
"Okay, General Xu Huang is indeed worthy of the backbone of our army. Now that Cao's army is coming, Hongnong is isolated and helpless. Sanlai Mountain is located between Hongnong and Luoyang. It is the central place of Sizhou. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The general is not as good as stationing troops here. On the one hand, it can form a horn with Hongnong to prevent Cao's attack. On the other hand, as long as this dangerous place is in our hands, as Lv Bu As soon as the general's army arrived, Cao's army could be captured, and there was no way to counter it. Looking at Xu Huang's happy expression, Jia Xu said to Xu Huang. Jia Xu did this, on the one hand, to help Hongnong's defense, and on the other hand, in order to prevent Xu Huang's possible changes, Xu Huang must be Yang Feng's general. After Yang Feng's death, whether Xu Huang is trustworthy or not, Jia Xu still has some drumming in his heart. It must be that Jia Xu knows too little about Xu Huang. In this extraordinary time. Qi also has to keep a hand. As long as Xu Huang leaves Hongnong, then even if Xu Huang really relies on Cao Cao, Jia Xu can guarantee that Hongnong will be safe and sound when Lv Bu's army arrives. If Xu Huang is left in Hongnong, Jia Xu is not sure that Hongnong will not fail. You should know that today's company However, no one in the state can resist Xu Huang, and it is still unknown when Pound, as a reinforcement, will arrive.
"Please arrange everything." Xu Huang has no meaning for Jia Xu's arrangement. Although he defends Sanlai Mountain alone and is likely to face the attack and killing of Cao's army alone, this is also Xu Huang's opportunity to show his talents to the world. Xu Huang also needs such an opportunity to prove his strength. Although Qianlima needs the appreciation of Bole, Qianlima It is also necessary to show the side that he has to appreciate, and now Xu Huang leads alone, which just gives Xu Huang the opportunity to give full play to it. As for Jia Xu's temptation and distrust of him, Xu Huang can also understand that he must have been an unknown person before, but it is much better than surrendering to Cao Cao. Even if Xu Huang surrenders to Cao now, he has no chance to lead alone.
