As Yang Rui thought, accidents happened under Luoyang City, which caught Dong Zhuo off guard. Yang Rui rescued Liu Bian and his son to the north of the Yellow River, which had already made Dong Zhuo very unhappy, but unexpectedly, the strange group caused trouble in the southeast of Luoyang City. Dong Zhuo was furious when he learned the news. No matter how Li Ru was blocking him, Dong Zhuo still resolutely sent a force to Gong County.

Of course, the number of troops sent by Dong Zhuo is much lower than that of Yang Rui. No matter how angry Dong Zhuo is, he knows the importance of it. Compared with the matter of the young emperor Liu Bian, losing the county is really nothing. As long as you guard the Hulao Pass and the main force of the alliance camp cannot pass, one or two small forces in Guanzhong are not afraid in Dong Zhuo's opinion.

Let’s talk about the direction of Heyang City. After the "Li"-shaped forward of the banner, Dong Zhuo’s follow-up personnel rushed to the vicinity of Heyang City one after another, and soon surrounded Heyang City. He immediately set up a wooden ladder and started a tentative attack.

It is very difficult for Dong Zhuo and other troops to cross the river, let alone complex siege equipment, so they only have some simple tools in their hands. However, this does not mean that the other party can't come out with any decent equipment. In the plot of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Yang Rui saw Dong Zhuo's large siege equipment. It is very likely that his army also brought relevant production personnel, and it may not be clear that some of them will be created at any time.

Moreover, although it was a tentative attack, it was actually very large in scale. However, the level of Dong Zhuo's troops dispatched troops was a bit low, most of them were level 3, 4th level soldiers, generals, etc., who did not step forward.

Therefore, Zhang Ning and other defenders were relatively relaxed. Without using the rolling stones and wood, Yang Rui's iron guards did not allow any soldier from Dong Zhuo's camp to climb the city wall just by the cooperation of long-range archers.

It can be said that the city wall defense can better reflect the advantages of the Iron Guard's servant than the siege. It is very difficult for the opponent to climb the city wall. Not to mention the third or fourth-level soldiers, even if they are sold at one or two levels higher, it is also difficult to break through the city wall defense of the Iron Guard's servant. This 5th-level special military type originally has the strength of the 6th-level ordinary military type, and after climbing the city wall, its strength has surpassed the 6th level!

After seeing this situation, Yang Rui felt relieved. Even if Dong Zhuo's troops could make more complex siege equipment, it was not something that could be accomplished in a short while. So Yang Rui observed the time around Heyang City and drove the Taofeng Fei Carpet to chase the previous fleet.

The ship was relatively fast in the flow. When Yang Rui caught up with the fleet, he was already not far from Hulao Pass. Then, under Yang Rui's leadership, the fleet smoothly crossed the water surface of Hulao Pass again and arrived at the downstream garrison.

After placing the soldiers to be transported into the transport ship and letting the fleet return upstream first, Yang Rui went to find Ding Yuan.

It is not a solution to always let Ding Yuanhuang stay here. Now the Iron Guards have almost transported them, and there are only less than 5,000 people left, which is not enough to transport them twice. Yang Rui is preparing to persuade Ding Yuan to lead the troops back to the Dongjun area to defeat the Heishan Army, and also take his other soldiers with him. Otherwise, it would be a waste to stay here and not participate in the war.

"General Lieyang, Yuan Shao has sent people to ask about your whereabouts several times. It is said that Lieyang has rescued both the official family and Empress Dowager He, why are he missing now?"

Ding Yuan first asked when he saw Yang Rui coming. He had been stationed here for quite a while, and had already heard about Yang Rui's actions in Luoyang City, but he had never seen Yang Rui, so he was very anxious.

"Brother Jianyang, the official family and Empress Dowager He are now trapped in Heyang City in the western part of Hanoi County. I will mobilize some troops to go there again when I come back."

When Yang Rui came to see Ding Yuan, he had already thought of the words, so after Ding Yuan asked, he returned to the saying. In fact, he had also expected that Yuan Shao would come to inquire about his whereabouts. Now he was about to use Ding Yuan's mouth to spread the news, indicating that he was in trouble, so that the heroes would not find excuses to ask him, but could not hold the Young Emperor Liu Bian in his hands!

"I didn't expect that the situation was so urgent. I naturally had to go there and do my best to protect the official family. However, Lieyang's ship is limited now, so how can we pass the obstacles of Hulao Pass? What is General Lieyang's plan?"

Ding Yuan was obviously very enthusiastic about the young emperor Liu Bian, but his enthusiasm should be the one who is truly loyal, unlike Yuan Shao and others who may have some other thoughts.

"It's true that Brother Jianyang is in siege. Although the official family and Empress Dowager He are in heavy siege, Lieyang should be able to defend Heyang City for the time being. Moreover, due to the restrictions of ships, a large number of people will definitely not be able to reach the upper reaches through Hulao Pass. Therefore, I have considered a place for Brother Jianyang to make some contributions. When the official family is restored, I can also learn about Brother Jianyang's contributions..."

While speaking, Yang Rui had already begun to suggest that the Heishan Army be defeated in the area of ​​Dingyuan East County, and also analyzed a lot of the harm of the Heishan Army, but Dingyuan was obviously still a little confused.

"This... General Lieyang, isn't it reasonable to put aside the officials and ignore them?"

"Brother Jianyang's words are bad. Returning to Dongjun to attack Heishan Army was also to calm the country and make peace. It is always more serious than other princes having banquets all day long. Moreover, Brother Jianyang's foundation is not far from Dongjun, so he can take care of the territory..."

After Yang Rui's repeated persuasion, Ding Yuan finally agreed to lead his troops eastward and rushed back to the Heishan Army in the East County area. He also brought the remaining troops of Yang Rui and left behind all the remaining 5,000 iron guards. After Yang Rui took away more than 3,500 again, the remaining ones were temporarily found by five intermediate generals to wait for Yang Rui to come and pick him up again.

Let’s talk about Yang Rui’s return to Mengjin with a group of iron guards, just as the night was just coming. Yang Rui first ordered his soldiers to camp on the bank of the Yellow River to rest for a while, while he himself drove the road wind flying carpet to the vicinity of Heyang City to investigate the situation.

As they gradually approached, Yang Rui found that some of the besieged Dong Zhuo's troops had not yet entered the camp to rest at night, and were searching for trees to harvest. Dong Zhuo's troops even brought a group of strong men among them. At this time, logging was just in handy.

Yang Rui followed a tycoon who returned with a certain consignment of wood and finally discovered the purpose of these woods, which surprised Yang Rui. It turned out that Dong Zhuo's troops were using these newly cut wood to make large siege equipment!

In the middle of the woods behind a tent, a pile of tall ladders, rushing cars and other cars suddenly caught Yang Rui's eyes.
