Li Su and others chatted with Fa Zheng for a while, and also took some "seedlings and pots" from the rich people in Mei County to donate to the labor army.

Before leaving, Li Su wanted to test whether the Fazheng clan could be persuaded to "take the opportunity to make achievements for the country."

Emperor Ling of Han is still alive, and the world has not been in chaos yet. We must not just say that we can persuade people to serve Liu Bei.

The Fa Zheng family's answer was also relatively simple: Yong Liang was not determined, and now he is filial and wants to serve the country in the future, Han Sui's rebels are close at hand, and there is no need to withstand the dangerous road of Shu.

With the ability of Duke Xuande, the little thief of Zhang Lu can be destroyed within the year. At that time, it will benefit people and make the best of their own. Wouldn't it be a good idea? If you have the fate, you will become an official in the same dynasty in the future.

After hearing this official accent, Li Su knew that they were relocated and did not consider going south. This is also human nature.

But it doesn't matter. Make friends with each other during this period. When Dong Zhuo takes power in the future, the central government will become a dangerous place at the forefront. I believe that Fayan and Fa will make the right choice.

Li Su estimated that when Dong Zhuo revealed the trend of moving westward to Chang'an at the latest, these celebrities would run south.

Fa Zheng is only fourteen years old, so he will make a good relationship first and then let him go for two years. Anyway, the distance from Ji County to Hanzhong is not far.

...

It took a day to finish the affairs of the rear of Mei County and make good friends. When Li Su returned to Wuzhangyuan camp the next morning, Zhao Yun, who was sent by Liu Bei to the surrounding area of ​​Chencang to explore military affairs, had also returned.

Liu Bei then summoned all the generals and asked Zhao Yun to report the first-hand situation on the front line in front of everyone, and discuss countermeasures by the military.

Zhao Yun roughly talked about the scale and deployment of the enemy's troops, and provided information: Chen Cang City should have enough food, Huangfu Song's cage management should be good, and the grain distribution should be well dispatched.

This can be seen from the details of the military appearance, deployment, flags and other details at the head of Chencang City. The lack of food and no food are completely different when facing reinforcements. Zhao Yun was always bold when commanding the scout. He took advantage of the cover of dusk and rushed to a place only a few hundred steps away from the city gate before returning. He had already observed carefully enough.

In other words, Han Sui should be the one that could not hold on. Huangfu Song really wanted to fight back and could leave the city at any time, it depends on when Huangfu Song felt that Han Sui's morale would be depleted.

Liu Bei asked clearly and nodded with satisfaction: "You guys, if you say so, should you help Chen Cang to relieve the siege? Should you fight quickly or slow down? Huangfu Song had food, and Han Sui's morale would definitely be declining after a long time."

Under this tone, Guan Yu took the lead in expressing his opinion that from a purely military perspective, he believed that it could be repaired for a period of time to restore the soldiers to their peak state, and then he slowly planned to do so. Then Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun thought so.

Li Su didn't care. He was already thinking about the battle in Hanzhong later. How can it be the best for the battle in Hanzhong? In the current battle, according to the original historical trajectory, Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo alone could win. After winning, Dong Zhuo was recalled to Luoyang.

Liu Bei's participation was nothing more than expanding the fruits of victory and further attacking Han Sui.

But Li Su was not interested in over-weaking Han Sui, because it would not take long after Han Sui drove away that it would be Dong Zhuo's turn to become a traitor. In the future, Han Sui would be useful to the power of Yizhou and could keep it in check with Dong Zhuojun.

"Boya, you have always been resourceful, why don't you stop talking this time?" Liu Bei was also curious and asked Li Su specifically, because he saw that Li Su didn't speak, and even Lu Su and other civil servants dared not speak, and everyone was waiting for him.

Li Su leaned over her chin and sighed: "Oh, I think that how much Han Sui killed and injured is not hindering us. As long as he can drive away as little as possible, it is better to go away with the least amount of losses. However, it is better to enter Hanzhong later than to be late. Now it is the 26th day of the first lunar month, and the snow on the Qinling Valley Road melts in the early February.

If our army was late, it would be inevitable that Zhang Lu would be alert to him and give him more preparation time in the early winter, the mountain road was blocked by ice and snow, and the news was not made in the north and south of the Qinling Mountains."

Lu Su and Zhuge Jin next to him couldn't help but admire: Brother Boya's attitude was so despised by Han Sui. Han Sui was still there, and he was already considering the follow-up.

Although Li Su did not propose a quick battle on the matter, Lu Su, who was inspired by this idea, volunteered to propose: "The general comes to the court's righteousness. If the urgent and urgent situation are not enough, he should only look at the war, and he should also worry about the expectations of the court. Since both urgent and urgent situations can defeat the enemy, it is better to use urgent situations. On the one hand, he can make His Majesty trust the general more, and on the other hand, he can be harmonious with his colleagues, so that the left general and the former general know the general's loyalty."

Lu Su's statement obviously puts political accounts at a higher level than military accounts.

Li Su was also quite inspired after hearing this: selling more favors to Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo this time will also be beneficial for long-term strategic deception in the future.

In contrast... hundreds of more soldiers died because of being the main attacker, which is a price that has to be paid.

Those who achieve great things do not care about minor matters.

"I was negligent. I didn't expect that this level would also agree with Zijing." Li Su hurriedly expressed his opinion.

Guan Yu twisted his beard and said nothing, while Zhao Yun quickly advanced the topic and helped Guan Yu relieve his embarrassment: "General, since this is the case, why not lead his subordinate Wuhuan cavalry first, and asked Yu Fuluo Shanyu to use the Xiongnu cavalry to plunder the formation to enhance his reputation, first harass Han Sui's troops, attack the morale of the enemy, and send dead soldiers to break into the city while taking advantage of the chaos, contact General Zuo, and make an appointment with the Ming Dynasty to send troops."

Zhao Yun talked directly about the execution level, and the generals who were rejected the idea of ​​delaying the war were no longer ashamed. They all agreed, thinking that this tactic was fine.

Liu Bei nodded: "Okay, tomorrow Long will bring the cavalry out of the battle first, there is no need to fight, just harass and chaotic enemy troops. Today is 26, so let the messenger inform General Zuo that our army will launch a fierce attack on Han Sui in the early morning of the 28th. Let them not reply, regardless of whether they leave the city or not, we will attack on the 28th!"

Then Liu Bei asked about the candidate for the Dead Soldier's Messenger, that Zhao Yun and Zhou Tai were already in charge, and it was impossible for them to do such things personally.

Finally, Zhao Yun recommended Xu Huang, who is now the governor of Hedong soldiers, to give Xu Huang a chance to show off. Liu Bei nodded and allowed him.

If Xu Huang couldn't even break into the city, he could only say that his martial arts skills were not good, and he should be so destined.

...

That afternoon, Huangfu Song, who was guarding the city, saw again the signs that made him feel that the time for a counterattack was ripe.

The day before, he just saw Zhao Yun (he didn't know Zhao Yun) with hundreds of cavalry scouts harassed the enemy camp and approached for reconnaissance. Today, what he saw was a rushing cavalry like clouds, at least more than ten thousand!

The horse's hooves were galloping, the sound was like thunder, and the scene was extremely shocking. Even Huangfu Song himself was the top commander of the world who led 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry, and he was still very excited to see it.

"What is that? The Great Chronicle of the Xiongnu Shanyu? What kind of capable people in the court could invite the Southern Xiongnu Yu Fulu here? With this scene, I am afraid that Han Sui's morale will become increasingly depressed, and he will definitely want to withdraw his troops within a few days."

Although the Xiliang rebel camp outside the city gathered more than 100,000 people, only 20,000 to 30,000 on each side. Many reserve teams were stationed along the Weishui Valley at the Longshan Pass to ensure their origin. Therefore, the pressure was still very high when the 15,000 cavalry was rushing by the formation.

The rebels did not know that the ten thousand Yu Fuluo was just coming to plunder the formation and had no intention of working for Liu Bei. As long as Yu Fuluo passed by, only Zhao Yun's five thousand Wuhuan cavalry really approached and shot arrows for a while, the deterrent pressure of the fox pretending to be a tiger was very high.

Han Sui's camp was in chaos, and the junction between the camps was cut and raging by cavalry. Several earth wall corridors built since the siege were also destroyed, and hundreds of sentries were submerged and killed by cavalry.

Xu Huang took several cavalry confidants and rushed to Chencang City while the chaos was in trouble, shouting loudly, claiming to be under the command of General Liu Bei, the general in the west, and contacted General Zuo with military information.

Seeing that Xu Huang was few and there was a good visibility at the top of the city, it was easy to let Xu Huang enter the city and was personally received by Huangfu Song.

Xu Huang: "Meet General Zuo! General Zhenxi was ordered to attack Zhang Lu, a thief from Hanzhong. He passed by Chen Cang. In order to clear the road, he was willing to fight with General Zuo together. General Zhenxi observed the enemy for two days and believed that Han Sui's morale had fallen and time was too late. He said that no matter whether General Zuo sent troops or not, he would launch a general attack on Han Sui on the morning of the 28th."

"General Zhenxi... Liu Bei? He is Liu Bei? He is already General Zhenxi?" Huangfu Song looked around for a while, and there was still some information that was not synchronized.

His current situation is exactly the same as Gongsun Zan a year ago. He was surrounded by the city for half a year. The delay in disconnection was too serious. When he came back, he found that Liu Bei had practiced for several levels.

"When I and the former general were besieged, Liu Bei was still the chief minister of Liaodong? Has he been the general of Zhenxi in half a year? I remember when I first met him five years ago, he was just an unknown disciple from Zigan's disciple. He fought bravely in hundreds of townships for more than a year and was a county magistrate. It was really a world of change."

Huangfu Song's words were actually a bit wrong. When he was surrounded by Chen Cang, Liu Bei had just become the prefect of Liaodong. It was just that Liaodong was too far from Guanxi, and the message was transmitted, so Huangfu Song didn't have time to hear it before he entered.

He paused for a moment and said to Xu Huang proudly: "I am sure of defeating Han Sui. This is just a test of my tired enemy. Liu Bei wants to attack Foxiao the next day. I will make dinner at the third day of the day and attack the camp at the fourth day of the day, one or two times earlier than Liu Bei!"

Huangfu Song also has dignity. How could he let his younger generation take away the title of loyalty and righteousness to serve the country? The first main attack task must be robbed.

"Then I'll defend the city." Dong Zhuo was buzzing and doing his business. Obviously, the conflict between the two had accumulated to a certain extent.

...

There was nothing to say for a day, and all three parties were making final preparations before the war.

In the early morning of the 28th, just after the third update, Huangfu Song asked all the soldiers of the army to get up, cook early and prepare food, and put them in full. Then he opened the east gate of Chencang City and prepared to attack the enemy troops in the besieged city from the east with Liu Bei coming from the east.

The besieged camp was only two or three miles away from the city gate. The vanguard troops held a horse and quickly rushed to the front of the camp, slashing the hook and lifting the fence, holding the antlers, resisting the horse, and then killing sounds shook the sky.

"Kill the Qiang thieves! Capture Han Sui!" Several camps were soon attacked by Huangfu Song's army.

"How come there is an empty camp? Could it be an ambush?"

"There is a battle next door camp, but there is no empty camp there!"

In the chaos, the Han army discovered that some of the Han Sui army camps were empty, and it didn't seem like a fraud, because some battalions were normal before dark yesterday, but now even the tents have been moved away! Only some wood structures that were not taken away were left, which was obviously the empty camp left by the army's formal retreat.

"The rebels retreated secretly in batches! Kill and chase!"

It turned out that Liu Bei's arrival and the sending of Zhao Yun and Yu Fuluo to intimidate and harass the day before, became the last straw that completely crushed Han Sui's confidence.

Han Sui, who had been besieged in the city for five months in history, wanted to return to Tianshui, made up his mind in advance to prepare to leave.

It was just because there were too many troops and too large to complete them at once, and they always had to divide the troops and cut off the rear. So Huangfu Song saw this scene when he rushed over.

The vanguard of Liu Bei's army, who was more than ten miles away from the camp east of Hansui, realized that there was something going on from afar, and quickly accelerated his pace.

"Go forward at full speed! General Zuo is already killing the thief, we must not fall behind! General Zuo will definitely collapse in Han Sui, and take the opportunity to chase and kill the military achievements, at this moment!"

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun had just boosted their morale when they saw Yu Fuluo, who had been appearing in a rushing manner in travel and moving these days, couldn't help but let his direct descendants charge.

Zhao Yun quickly confirmed to him: "Shanyu, your army can only surround the formation, you are a guest from afar."

Yu Fuluo was eager to try and smile: "Don't worry, I won't ask General Zhenxi to calculate the money!"

Nonsense, this kind of pursuit battle that is a head-snatching battle, with the most elite Shanyu guards of the Huns in hand, wouldn’t it be a loss if they didn’t take the opportunity to grab the spoils?

The battle of chasing the fugitive is something that any cavalry commander is willing to fight for nothing without money. Just robbery is enough.

In the original history, Han Sui withdrew more than 100,000 troops this time, but was chased by Huangfu Song's 20,000 troops. He killed more than 10,000 heads and offered merits. The court was only cut to the heads and offered merits, and it was recorded in history. I don't know how many of those who killed but failed to cut their heads.

Now there are more than 20,000 cavalrymen in Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to hunt down Yu Fuluo. I wonder how much price Han Sui has to pay to go back.

Third update...
Chapter completed!
