Chapter 518 Empty City Hanoi
"I'm afraid that if you stay with me for a long time, you won't want to leave again." With that, Lv Bu took a look at Xun Yu next to him, and then at Tai Shici next to him. At the beginning, the two were like Zhao Yun and disdained Lv Bu, but now they have become a capable general in Lv Bu's hands, and Zhao Yun in front of him seems to follow in their footsteps.
"In this case, I will stay with the Prime Minister and see how the Prime Minister will settle the country." After a while of silence, Zhao Yun raised his head and said. At this time, Gongsun Zan had been defeated. Although Liu Bei made a good impression on Zhao Yun, after Liu Bei lost Xuzhou, he had disappeared. Zhao Yun could only stay under Lv Bu's account for the time being. Although Lv Bu's image was not very tall, in Zhao Yun's view, Lv Bu was at least open and aboveboard and worth watching.
"Okay, you can stay with me with Feng Xiao in the future." Seeing that Zhao Yun agreed, Lv Bu nodded and agreed.
However, it is said that Yuan Shao defended Jizhou with Guo Tu, gathered 350,000 troops by himself, and led Xiahou Dun with Yan Liang as the vanguard and rushed to Hanoi.
"Yuan Gong, Hanoi is in front of you. As long as our army takes Hanoi, Luoyang will be under the iron horse of our army. Our army can attack Luoyang at any time and take down Lv Bu's small court. At that time, all kinds of princes will naturally look at the wind, and Lv Bu's army will be defeated by us." Looking at the vast army moving in the direction of Hanoi, Liu Bei couldn't help sighing to Yuan Shao.
Just as Yuan Shao moved troops, Yuan Shao had received replies from all kinds of princes. In principle, both Sun Ce and Liu Biao agreed to cooperate with Yuan Shao to fight against Lv Bu. However, it coincidentally, it was to let Yuan Shao take the lead in sending troops. The intention was very simple, which was to let Yuan Shao make a head bird. If Yuan Shao could fight. If they succeed and defeat Lv Bu, they will naturally be happy to come out intermittently. If Yuan Shao can't even stand a round and is defeated by Lv Bu, then the other princes will naturally not rise up as agreed. Yuan Shao is naturally well aware of this. Therefore, Yuan Shao concentrated on his efforts to rush towards Hanoi. His goal was to set an example for other princes and let them know that Lv Bu was not invincible, so as to form a situation where the princes fought against Lv Bu together.
"It is rumored that Yan Liang marched into the army quickly. I want to see his achievements these days." Last time, Yan Liang and Wen Chou broke their halberd in the hands of Lv Bu's army one after another, which made Yuan Shao very annoyed. However, both of them performed well in the battle against Gongsun Zan. Therefore, Yuan Shao sent troops to Hanoi this time and specially let Yan Liang serve as the main striker, hoping to see Yan Liang win the victory in Hanoi.
"Mr. Xun Yu, have you arranged everything outside?" Above the tower in Hanoi, Lv Bu looked at Yuan Shaojun, who was getting closer and closer, and asked Xun Yu beside him.
"General Zhang Liao has returned to Wancheng and is ready to face the possible attack of Liu Biao. And General Ju Yi has also arrived at Shiting to monitor the situation of Sun Ce's army and horses at any time. As for our army, the evacuation of the people in Hanoi has been successfully completed, and only what Yuan Shao can get is an empty city. In addition, General Gao Shun's soldiers and horses are ready to go, and they can leave Xiao Guan to enter Jizhou at any time. The yellow scarf army commanded by the two generals Le Jin and Yu Jin has also assembled and began to harass the border between Youzhou and Jizhou. Xun Yu said that he had fully arranged his whole, which can be said to be very closely considered.
Originally, Xun Yu advocated letting Lv Bu lead troops to station in Hanoi as bait to block Yuan Shao's army, and then let the generals lead the army to attack Youzhou, Jizhou and Qingzhou respectively, so that Yuan Shao could not take care of each other. However, the weakness of this plan was that Lv was placed in danger. Although Xun Yu is very confident in Lv Bu, this practice of ignoring the safety of the master is obviously not appropriate, especially when his own force has an advantage, it is really unnecessary. Therefore, Xun Yu changed his strategy, resisted Yuan Shao with most of his military strength, and attacked Jizhou and Youzhou with a few troops, making it difficult for the rear of Yuan Shao's army to calm down, thus gradually killing Yuan Shao's fighting spirit, and then eliminating it little by little.
"In the hands of our army, Yuan Shao will not expect that we will send troops from Xiaoguan to Jizhou. In this way, only the Yellow Turban Army led by Lejin and Yu Forbidden Institute is a surprise for Yuan Shao." After listening to Xun Yu's report, Lv Bu frowned slightly, and then said with some dissatisfaction.
Lv Bu's meaning is obvious. When Yuan Shao and Lv Bu go to war this time, Gao Shun in Bingzhou will definitely send troops to help, and Xiaoguan is the most effective way to enter Jizhou from Bingzhou. Therefore, Yuan Shao must have arranged soldiers and horses to deal with Gao Shun. In this way, only with the yellow scarf of Taihang Mountain led by Lejin and Yu Jin, I'm afraid it can't What a threat it poses to Yuan Shao? The result is that if Lv Bu and Yuan Shao want to win or lose, they can only fight on the frontal battlefield. The decisive battle of hundreds of thousands of people is bound to be extremely tragic, and once such a war begins, the war changes rapidly, and the victory or defeat is even more difficult to determine. Lv Bu obviously does not want such a thing to happen.
"What does the Prime Minister mean?" Xun Yu asked when he saw that Lv Bu was not satisfied.
"The reason why I am not fighting with Yuan Shao in Hanoi is that I hope to reduce the casualties in the war above. If the war of hundreds of thousands of people is necessary, why should we leave Hanoi without relying on the walls here?" I only heard Lv Bu say faintly.
"In this case, only a few generals can be sent from Yanzhou to attack Jizhou." Xun Yu said after thinking about it for a moment.
"It is said that the army was ordered to withdraw to Hedong. Since I would like to see if Yuan Shao wants to come to me, I will directly send troops to cross the river to attack Luoyang. After half a silence, Lv Bu preached an order to Xun Yu.
If Yuan Shao leads troops directly to Luoyang after occupying Hanoi, Lv Bu can just talk about the east of the river, so as to cut off Yuan Shao's way back, and then send troops to destroy Yuan Shao's army little by little. If Yuan Shao leads the troops straight to the east of the river, Lv Bu can fight with Yuan Shao in the movement, and the road from Jizhou to the east is bound to the east. It's as close as Hanoi. Lv Bu has an article to do. As for Yuan Shao's ability to divide his troops into two ways and attack Luoyang and Hedong at the same time, Lv Bu didn't mind, because that gave Lv Bu the opportunity to break through, and he was undoubtedly looking for death.
"Report, a military report came from General Yan Liang in front of us, and our army has successfully taken Hanoi. General Yan Liang is leading the army to pursue Lv Bu's defeated army. Yuan Shao's army was still on the way, and there was already a military report.
"How can this be so smooth?" Hearing that the striker had occupied Hanoi, Yuan Shao should have been happy, but Yuan Shao was not happy at this time. Although Yuan Shao was determined to capture Hanoi as soon as possible, when Hanoi arrived, Yuan Shao had a trace of nameless worry, and the film appointment felt a little inappropriate.
"Try to tell me in detail how General Yan Liang captured Hanoi?" Liu Bei, who was beside him, also hesitated and asked the soldier who reported the news.
"General, there is no Lv Bu army in Hanoi. It is an empty city." The soldier did not dare to deceive and quickly replied.
"It seems that Lv Bu deliberately threw Hanoi to us. Isn't he really afraid that we will capture Luoyang?" Liu Bei was obviously a little confused. It must be that Luoyang was Lv Bu's capital at this time. It was directly leaked out like this, which really made Liu Bei a little confused.
"So where did Lv Bu go?" Yuan Shao also asked the soldiers. Obviously, Yuan Shao was most concerned about Lv Bu's where to go at this time.
"Look at the traces of withdrawal in the direction of Hanoi, the enemy should have retreated to Hedong." The soldier replied with a slight thought.
"Ha ha, it is rumored that the army has a fast prospect. Our army will spend the night in Hanoi tonight." Hearing that Lv Bu was far away from the east of the river, Yuan Shao was a little relieved to preach to a group of generals.
"Yuan Gong, Hanoi is an important border defense area in Jizhou and Sizhou. It must be heavily guarded, otherwise our army will leave. Once Lv Bu's army regains Hanoi, it will cut off our army's retreat and grain road." When he came to Hanoi and saw that Hanoi was empty, Liu Beisheng had a bad feeling and quickly suggested to Yuan Shao.
The three cities of Hanoi, Hedong and Luoyang are all important cities of the Han Dynasty. The city is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, the three cities of Hanoi, Hedong and Luoyang have formed a character shape. Once Yuan Shao's army is surrounded by Lv Bu's three cities, Yuan Shao's army can only face a mortal situation, which reminds Liu Bei here is very worried.
"I have a general Chunyu Qiong's extraordinary force, and I can defend this city." Yuan Shao also deeply understood the importance of Hanoi, so he called Chun Yuqiong and told him carefully.
"Master, Chunyu Qiong is strong and addicted to alcohol, and it is not suitable to take on such an important task. Please take back the order and appoint others." Hearing that Yuan Shao was going to appoint Chunyu Qiong to guard Hanoi, Ju Shu quickly came to Yuan Shao and said to Yuan Shao.
"Humph, do you mean that I don't know anyone?" Seeing that Ju Shu came to stop him, Yuan Shao said with some unhplea.
"Chen didn't mean that, but Chunyu Qiong was not suitable to take on such an important task. General Zhang He took this responsibility. General Zhang He used troops in Xuzhou and successfully rescued General Liu Bei and others. It can be said that he is brave and resourceful, which is just right for taking on such a major task." Ju Shu really had no confidence in Chun Yuqiong. Although he knew that Yuan Shao was unhappy, he still insisted.
"Well, at this time, I have decided that there will be no more changes. You can retreat." Although Ju Shu was loyal, Yuan Shao waved his hand coldly and ignored Ju Shu.
"Well." Liu Bei wanted to say something, but this kind of thing was Yuan Shao's own business, but his identity was not suitable for saying more. However, looking at Yuan Shao and Ju Shu, he had much less confidence in Yuan Shao's battle this time. He began to think about where he should go once Yuan Shao was defeated.
However, it was said that Yan Liang and Xiahou Dun led troops to chase and kill Lv Bu, and they ran for less than half a day. There was a dark shadow in front of him, and the murderous atmosphere was everywhere. Yan Liang and Xiahou Dun knew this breath very well. Only the real elite of Bai Zhan could have this smell, and it was Lv Bu's wolf horse that stood in front of them.
