Chapter 294 Liu Jiyu’s soldiers surrounded Yangquan

After killing Han Juzi and coming from the valley, Yuan Shao soon met Yuan Jun's scouts. Lu Weihuang and Han Qi immediately led their troops to protect him, but they didn't see Han Juzi, so both of them were a little confused.

"Lord, why are you alone? Han..." Jiang Qi asked, but found that Yuan Shao's eyes were sharp. He swallowed and swallowed what he wanted to say!

"General Han died trying to protect me!" Without a general, he had to explain. Yuan Shao simply gave a reason to cover up the matter. Han Qi and Lu Weihuang thought that Yuan Shao's sharp eyes were because of pain.

After losing a general, everyone kept silent and mourned in their hearts, and their perception of Yuan Shao also changed a lot.

"Lord, let's leave quickly!" We have been delayed for a long time by being blocked. If we don't leave, not to mention Yangquan is in danger, even if Liu Zhang catches up, it will be a big trouble.

"Let's go back to Yangquan!" Yuan Shao originally didn't want to mention Han Juzi anymore, but when Lu Weihuang suggested setting off, he followed suit and gave the order to set off.

At the foot of Yangquan City, Huang Zhong and Guan Yu were already facing off against Yan Liang. Looking at Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, and Yan Liang who were waiting in full formation, they swallowed their saliva. Judging from the situation, he also knew that Huang Zhong and Guan Yu were waiting for work.

"Brother, what should we do?" Wen Chou came to Yan Liang and asked quietly. He had no confidence in defeating Huang Zhong and Guan Yu.

"Don't worry!" Gao Lan rode his horse to Yan Liang and said, "Guan Yu, Huang Zhong is coming from afar, so he won't bring many troops. Although our army is defeated, there are not many soldiers. After a rest, we will command the soldiers to entangle Guan Yu.

, Huang Zhong, and then take the opportunity to enter the city. As long as we can enter the city and be protected by the city wall, no matter how fierce Guan Yu or Huang Zhong is, there is nothing they can do to us!"

"Just do what General Gao wants!" Yan Liang trusted Gao Lan as they were also the four pillars of Hebei Province.

"General Huang, what do you mean now?" Yan Liang was discussing, Huang Zhong and Guan Yu were also whispering. Looking at Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Guan Yu had the urge to kill them.

"Don't be anxious, Mr. Yun!" Huang Zhong said with a slight smile: "Zhou's military advisor has already anticipated the current situation. He has an order saying that when Yan Liang and Wen Chou attack, we will retreat and set up a camp to wait for the lord to attack Yangquan!"

"Waiting for the lord?" Guan Yu asked doubtfully: "If we attacked the city, we would have defeated Yangquan long ago, why wait for the lord!"

"Yunchang, it's easy to capture Yangquan, but how many soldiers will we need to die if we attack the city? My lord's soldiers are all refined soldiers. If one more person dies, my lord will feel sad!" Huang Zhong smiled and shook his head. He had followed Liu Zhang for so many years.

, who understood Liu Zhang’s thoughts best. He would never fight a tough battle unless he had no choice.

"But my lord, when we attack Yangquan, we don't have to waste soldiers?" Guan Yu asked very puzzledly: "Does my lord have any good ideas, so that we can attack a fortified city without consuming troops?"

"How do I know?" Huang Zhong said with a smile: "But I believe that my lord, his decision will not be wrong! It has been like this since more than ten years ago!"

"Uh..." Guan Yu glanced at Huang Zhong in astonishment. He was already very blind to Liu Zhang. Unexpectedly, Huang Zhong was even more blind. However, Huang Zhong had been following Liu Zhang since he was five years old, so he should be this blind.

The two armies faced each other, but neither side moved. The battlefield was filled with murderous aura, which made people feel breathless. The sky gradually darkened, and the golden crow began to fall to the west. Wen Chou was impatient and already impatient. Nearly half an hour later, he came to Yan Liang again.

He asked in his ear: "Brother, this is not the way to go. Should we rush?"

"Gao Lan!" Yan Liang asked, "When can we charge?"

"General Yan, it stands to reason that Guan Yu and Huang Zhong should have launched an attack on us long ago, but they have been watching us from a distance. There is something fishy!" Gao Lan stared at Huang Zhong and Guan Yu with a puzzled face, thinking in his mind

He kept thinking. He thought about many problems, but he didn't know that Huang Zhong was just worried that using infantry against cavalry would suffer a loss.

"Then we can't just continue to wait like this!" Wen Chou said through gritted teeth: "It's already very depressing if we can't beat him, but we have to look at the opponent's face. Wouldn't it be even more depressing? We can't look at our own city while camping outside the city.

Bar!"

"How about we fight for a while!" Han Meng remained silent until he saw everyone was hesitant, so he suggested.

"This..." Yan Liang had endured it for so long and was already in a dilemma. After hearing Han Meng's suggestion, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Go ahead! Otherwise, when the lord arrives, we will also be in trouble!"

"Okay!" Gao Lan said with a smile: "We have to give it a try. Let's fight for a while!"

Yan Liang nodded with a smile and said: "Send the order, the whole army charges!"

"Yes!" Wen Chou, Gao Lan, and Han Meng each led their own troops and charged towards Huang Zhong's army.

"Finally we are willing to move!" Huang Zhong said with a smile: "Chang Yun, pass the order, the rear team will become the front team, we retreat!"

Guan Yu asked: "General Huang, what should I do if the enemy comes after me?"

"Don't worry!" Huang Zhong said with a smile: "I will personally lead the Gong camp to defeat the enemy. If they dare to chase me, I will let them know how powerful I am!"

"Okay!" Guan Yu turned around and ordered: "Withdraw!"

"Why did they withdraw?" Yan Liang and Wen Chou were surprised when they saw Huang Zhong and Guan Yu's movements. They really didn't expect that Huang Zhong and Guan Yu retreated with just a charge.

"Brother, do you want to give chase?" Although Wen Chou didn't know what happened, he could tell with eyes that the enemy had retreated.

"Don't chase the poor enemy! Our mission is to protect Yangquan!" Gao Lan frowned and said: "Look at Huang Zhong's army retreating slowly without any confusion. Zhou Yu is also very resourceful. Who knows whether they will have an ambush. This time we will

We are leading the elite cavalry under my lord. If we are ambushed by the enemy and lost, my lord may take it out on us!"

Yan Liang and Wen Chou followed Yuan Shao for many years. Knowing Yuan Shao's temper well, they no longer persisted and ordered to enter the city. Huang Zhong and Guan Yu retreated to the village thirty miles outside Yangquan City, waiting for the arrival of Liu Zhang's army. Late at night, Yuan Shao's army finally

They drove to Yangquan City, and early the next morning, Liu Zhang also led his army to the camp outside Yangquan City. For a time, the offensive and defensive momentum of Liu Zhang and Yuan Shao was reversed!

The two armies went through a day and night of fighting. In pursuit, not to mention the soldiers, even the generals of both sides were very tired. The city of Yangquan, which should have been very tense, was quiet for a day without any fighting. In the evening, two more armies entered Liu Zhang's palace.

Camp, it turned out to be Zhou Yu and Xu Shu arrived!

"Yuan Zhi, Gong Jin, you did a great job!" At the Chinese army's main camp, Liu Zhang commanded a large number of civil and military personnel. Liu Zhang was very satisfied with Zhou Yu and Xu Shu's response.

In this battle, except for the soldiers defending in Jinyang, who were seriously injured and were reduced by two-thirds, the losses of other armies were very small. Ma Chao's Xiliang cavalry and Zhang Fei's Overlord cavalry were among Yuan Shao's troops.

After charging back and forth, they only lost less than a thousand people! Now let's wait for Zhao Lei and Jia Xu of Jinyang to calculate the results and see what Yuan Shao's losses are!

"Thank you for the compliment, my lord!" Xu Shu and Zhou Yu bowed at the same time.

"Brother, why don't you praise me!" Zhang Fei shouted: "If it weren't for me and Meng Qi, Jinyang would be ruined!"

"Yes! You are the best!" Liu Zhang cursed with a smile, making everyone laugh.

"Lord!" Guan Yu had always had a question in his mind. He stood up and clasped his fists and asked: "As the saying goes: Kindness cannot control troops! In fact, with the strength of our army, if we attack Yangquan by force, we would have conquered it long ago. Why give up so much for a few soldiers?"

Where are the good opportunities?”

"Indeed! With the strength of our army, it is easy to capture Yangquan, but Yuan Shao is not my enemy. My enemies are only Cao Cao and Sun Jian!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Taking advantage of the situation to capture Yangquan will only allow Yuan Shao to escape, but

I want to make Yuan Shao afraid! Both psychologically and physically!"

"This..." Guan Yu's eyes lit up and he asked: "My lord, do you have any good ideas?"

"Not a good idea!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "But there is a good guy!"

"What good guy?" Everyone was puzzled when they heard this.

Liu Zhang took out a drawing from his arms and said, "Look, this is it!"

"This is..." Zhou Yu and Xu Shu walked over and took a look, and suddenly shouted: "Dump the car?"

"That's not right!" Xu Shu said in shock: "The cart was invented by the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and it is not so sophisticated. As far as I know, it takes at least ten people to use the cart, but the thing drawn on the drawing in the master's hand seems to only need two or three people.

It’ll work!”

"Not bad!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "This is a thunderbolt chariot that Liu Ye found out from "Luban Secret Records", improved it, and built it with my advice. This chariot can use ox horses to pull the winch and drive the long arm.

Come throw boulders!”

"This..." Guan Yu exclaimed: "With such a sharp weapon, why should we fear that Yangquan will not be broken? My Lord is confident, but my subordinates are really worrying in vain!"

"Yun Chang doesn't have to be like this!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "If there is no such thing, your opinion is completely correct! I hope you can continue to work hard in the future. If you don't understand anything, you can think more and ask more."

"Yes!" Guan Yu fiercely raised his fists and said, "Please give me your advice, my lord and gentlemen!"

"General Guan is so polite!" The scribes sitting opposite Guan Yu all returned the greeting. In fact, they all knew that Guan Yu was just being polite to Liu Zhang. However, Guan Yu was so face-saving that no one wanted to offend him.

"Okay!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "We are all our own people, there is no need for so many false courtesy! The situation between us and Yuan Shao has been reversed. As soon as the thunder chariot built by Zi Yang arrives, we will attack Yangquan and let Yuan Shao know about our army.

It’s awesome!”

"Lord, what should we do with Jiang Yiqu and the foreign tribes in Quyang?" There is only Gaolan in Yangyi, and the battle will be over, but there are Wuwan and Xiongnu in Quyang, and Xu Shu will not forget them.

"More than that!" Zhou Yu also stood up and asked: "There is Zhang Yan's army in Yuci, and now we are blocking their way back to Jizhou. If Zhang Yan cuts off our army's food route, we will be in trouble!"

"Zhang Yan shouldn't dare!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Ask Liao Hua to contact Zhang Yan, and I will give him a retreat back to Montenegro. When I take control of Jizhou, I will let him surrender! After all, there are many Yellow Turban family members in Montenegro, just in case Yuan Shao takes them.

It's not good to vent your anger! As for Karasuma, Xiongnu, Jiang Yiqu, and Wenyuan, with your ability, you should have no problem dealing with them!"
