When Liu Bei saw that his two brothers were at a disadvantage, he also came up with a long sword, but his strength was much worse than that of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Xu Wei struck the mace first, knocking off Liu Bei's long sword! Then he hit it with his shield, and he
He knocked Liu Bei away. Then he walked towards Liu Bei!
"Thunder Lord, Xiu wants to hurt my elder brother!" Zhang Fei found a wooden stick as thick as a bowl, and aimed at Xu Wei with a sweeping attack.
Xu Wei used his mace to block, but Zhang Fei used all his strength and knocked Xu Wei away.
At this time Gongsun Zan pulled Liu Bei up and said: "Let's leave quickly!"
"Dang, Dang, Dang!" Ming Jin's voice of withdrawing his troops spread throughout the battlefield, and the Han army continued to retreat. The three brothers Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei quickly disappeared from the battlefield.
Xu Wei, who woke up from his rage, looked at his hands and said in surprise: "I actually defeated the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang. It's unbelievable. This is something that even Lu Bu couldn't do. I am the best general in the world in terms of love."
!”
Xu Wei knew that he was strong. After all, the strength of his arms could not be deceived. When he plowed the fields in the valley, even a single cow was no match for him.
But he has no idea of how strong he is, so he has always been stubborn and believes in safety first.
But after today's battle, he realized that his golden finger was so powerful that he became the best general in the world, so why should he be so cautious!
After today's battle, Xu Wei's confidence has greatly increased, and he believes that the world is huge and there is no place he cannot go.
After Gongsun Zan and others retreated, Xu Wei also stopped the pursuing troops. After all, they were supposed to retreat.
After defeating Gongsun Zan and the others, no one pursued them anymore. Xu Wei and the others successfully reached Hukou Pass. After occupying Hukou Pass, Xu Wei was not afraid even if Liu Yu and all 30,000 Han troops attacked.
!
At the camp outside Hukou Pass, Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei and others stood respectfully at the gate.
Liu Yu came with 20,000 infantry to support him.
Gongsun Zan saw Liu Yu and said dejectedly: "Sir, I have suffered a defeat and let you down."
Liu Yu took his hand and said: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. There is no need to be discouraged by a defeat!"
When the news of Gongsun Zan's defeat reached Liu Yu, Liu Yu was also a little shocked. After all, they had just wiped out 150,000 Yellow Turban bandits, and now they were defeated by 10,000 Yellow Turban bandits. But he thought that the valley terrain was not suitable for cavalry.
During the battle, and because Gongsun Zan and the others did not suffer many casualties, Liu Yu did not pursue him.
Liu Yu and his party came to the Chinese army's tent!
He sat down and asked, "Where is the Thunder God's Department now?"
Gongsun Zan said: "The subordinates of the vanguard force don't know, but Lei Gong and others behind them have already occupied Hukou Pass. With the strength of Lei Gong's department, I am afraid that even our 30,000 troops may not be able to break through Hukou Pass."
When Liu Yu heard that Xu Wei and the others had entered Bingzhou, his expression suddenly changed and he said: "That means they have invaded Shangdang County!"
Gongsun Zan said helplessly: "It should be like this. Master Fu Bian has brought all the troops in Bingzhou. Even the important Hukou Pass is only guarded by thousands of soldiers. I thought that Hukou Pass is a terrain where one man can guard the pass and no one can open it."
It's enough to resist the rebel army. But I didn't expect that the rebel army has weapons to attack the city. I'm afraid that Shangdang County has been captured by Lei Gong and others."
"What should we do?" Liu Yu became anxious. If Xu Wei went north to Taiyuan County, it would be a disaster for the Han Dynasty, but it would not be too serious.
But if they go south to Hedong County and Hanoi County, Lei Gong's troops can threaten Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, then the world will be shaken, and Liu Yu will die forever!
Liu Bei thought for a while and said: "Your Excellency, you should find a way to inform the court first and let the governors of Hedong County and Hanoi County make preparations."
Shen Pei also followed up and said: "Sir, we can also catch up and follow the Lei Gong tribe. There are 30,000 elites behind us. Even if we cannot defeat the Lei Gong tribe, we can still hold a large number of Lei Gong's troops."
Liu Yu said as if grasping a life-saving straw: "This makes sense! We must follow this Thunder Lord and not let him go south to Luoyang City!"
Shen Pei pondered for a moment and said: "Although this Lei Gong was the first Yellow Turban Qushuai to rebel, he is extremely low-key and has been hiding behind Zhang Niujiao and the others. Obviously he is a knowledgeable person. I think he should also know the surroundings of Luoyang City.
There are elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty everywhere, and the land of Sanhe is the home of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty. If he dares to go south to threaten the land of Sanhe, his tens of thousands of troops will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the imperial court. Judging from his subordinates, Lei Gong should want to go north to Taiyuan County and others.
land!"
"Taiyuan?" Liu Bei asked in confusion: "Why does Brother Zhengnan have such an idea? Shouldn't Lei Gong and the others go to a more prosperous place? How can Taiyuan County possibly support his tens of thousands of troops?"
Shen Pei said: "The Yellow Turban thieves are wandering bandits and do not need to be given food and wages. Lei Gong has robbed the entire noble family of Wei County, and their grain reserves are enough for them to feed tens of thousands of people for several years. For Lei Gong, the terrain is dangerous
, there are many mountains and rivers, and it is not the inner circle of the imperial court. This is a place suitable for them to survive. Don’t forget that Lei Gong and the others were hiding in the mountains at first. However, given the terrain of Taiyuan, if they find a hilltop to hide, I am afraid that the imperial court will not catch them at all.
Can't stop him!"
Although what Shen Pei said was reasonable, Liu Yu still did not dare to be careless. He first wrote to the court and asked the prefect of Hanoi County and the prefect of Hedong County to prepare for defense, and he marched towards Hukou Pass with an army of 30,000 men.
After Xu Wei defeated Gongsun Zan and others, he left 3,000 men stationed at Hukou Pass and ordered them to guard for 10 days before retreating, while he himself joined Wang Lei and others.
Wang Lei and his group of more than 200,000 people were stationed in Tunliu County, waiting for Xu Wei and his group.
They were very happy to see Xu Wei returning with his army, and then asked about the battle. When they heard that Xu Wei defeated Gongsun Zan's cavalry, they all admired Xu Wei.
Xu Weidao: "It's not time to be happy yet. There are still 30,000 people behind us. We will be safe as long as we escape from their pursuit range."
Then Xu Wei asked: "How did you capture Tunliu County?"
Wang Lei smiled and said: "There are not many soldiers in Tunliu at all. The local nobles and nobles ran away long ago when they heard about our arrival. We occupied it without any effort at all."
Xu Wei asked: "You are not harassing the local people, are you?"
Wang Lei affirmed: "We are heroes of the forest who uphold justice for heaven. How could we harass the people?"
Xu Wei was very strict about military discipline. Wang Lei, who was brought out by Xu Wei, also followed suit. Of course, the most important thing is that Wang Lei and the others are not short of food or money. Naturally, they don't need to rob the people like ordinary bandits. What do you want?
