Chapter 161: Escape from the fire, Lu Bu takes the credit
Yanmenguan South Gate. Tianlai Novel
Looking at Yanmen Pass in front of him, which had completely turned into a sea of fire, Xu Huang took a deep breath. Although he was a hundred steps away, he could still clearly feel the suffocating heat filling the air.
Xu Huang could fully imagine how scorching the Yanmen Pass was now, but even so, there were still some Xiongnu who endured the burning that was worse than death and forcibly passed through the 100-meter sea of fire.
It's a pity that what greets these people after the sea of fire is still... a dead end!
The massacre of these defenseless warriors made Xu Huang feel a little depressed, but the military orders were overwhelming and there was nothing Xu Huang could do.
I hope they will not be reincarnated as Huns in the next life! Xu Huang sighed secretly in his heart.
"General, look," a soldier said in disbelief, pointing in the direction of the sea of fire.
Xu Huang raised his head numbly, but the scene in front of him made him take a breath.
In the sea of fire, thousands of Huns soldiers endured the burning of the flames and screamed miserably, but they still gathered tightly in a group.
Dozens of people fell at every step. Every step was so difficult, but in the end they insisted on walking out. After walking out of the sea of fire, there were fewer than 300 soldiers out of the thousands.
"Fire the arrow!"
Xu Huang couldn't bear to watch, and after sighing, he simply closed his eyes. After receiving the order, the five thousand archers immediately shot a wave of arrows at the opponent.
"Protect King Zuoxian!"
After a loud and mournful shout, all the Huns soldiers used their fastest speed to guard their most beloved King Zuo Xian in the middle, forming a wall of flesh to block the rain of arrows.
After two waves of arrows, Qin Yong finally arrived. When he saw the meat mountain that had been shot into a sieve, his expression suddenly changed and he shouted: "Stop shooting arrows, the young master has an order to capture Huchuquan alive!"
…
The three counties in the central and northern areas are Dingxiang, Yunzhong and Wuyuan counties.
Dingxiang County was governed by Shanwu and led 5 counties, namely Shanwu, Zhongling, Wucheng, Luoxian and Tongguo.
Yunzhong County, the administrative seat of Yunzhong, governs 11 counties, namely Yunzhong, Shaling, Shanan, Jiling, Chengle, Wujin, Yuanyang, Dingxiang, and Xianyang (the same name only, and has nothing to do with Xianyang in Guanzhong) , Wuquan, Beiyu.
Wuyuan County is governed by Jiuyuan and covers 9 counties, namely Jiuyuan, Heyin, Linwo, Wuyuan, Yiliang, Chengyi, Xianyang, Wudu and Manbai.
After dealing with the 40,000 Xiongnu reinforcements, the first thing the Yanmen Army has to do is to escort the prisoners back to Guangwu. After the fire at Yanmen Pass is burned out, they can send their troops to regain the three counties of North and Central and fully receive the fruits of victory. .
The three counties have been depleted of their garrison troops, and the total number of garrison troops in the twenty-five counties is less than 5,000. Therefore, for the Yanmen Army, the task of recovering is almost not difficult.
Just when everyone thought the overall situation was decided, an accident happened again.
A soldier hurriedly ran to Qin Hao and reported: "Young Master, General Lu Bu left without saying goodbye and led the army to the northwest!"
Qin Hao didn't react much after hearing this, but Qin Hu on the side exclaimed.
"Northwest? Isn't that the direction of the three northern and central counties?" Qin Hu widened his eyes and said in horror, "Does Lu Bu want to capture the three northern and central counties before our army can?"
"The contribution of regaining the lost territory is not much less than that of killing Yufuluo." Yue Fei frowned and muttered: "It is not impossible that Lu Bu failed to kill Yufuluo, so he turned his attention to the three counties of Central and North China. "
"What?" Guan Sheng became anxious upon hearing this and said quickly: "Our army defeated the Xiongnu. Lu Bu was just the one who attacked them. Why did he occupy three counties?"
After hearing the news that Lu Bu actually left the Yanmen Army and went to attack the three counties of Zhongbei alone, all the generals of the Yanmen Army exploded.
The generals couldn't help but be excited. The Yanmen Army had planned it from the beginning to recapture the three counties in the north and central. Now they finally defeated the main force of the Huns, and all the cooked ducks went into their mouths. However, Lu Bu came to snatch the fruits of victory at this time, so everyone How can the general not be angry!
Even Wang Meng, who had always been calm and calm, showed an angry look at this time and said urgently: "Young Master, we must not let Lu Bu capture the three counties in the north and central areas! If the three counties are captured by the Bingzhou Army, they will no longer have anything to do with our army. "
Once the Bingzhou Army captures the three counties, the Yanmen Army really can't do anything to Lu Bu. After all, who will spit out the fat that has been swallowed?
After all, they are all troops under the banner of the Han Dynasty. It is impossible for the Yanmen Army to go to war with the Bingzhou Army for the three counties. That situation would be tantamount to rebellion!
"Haha, you don't have to worry." A cold light flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, and he sneered: "The three counties of Zhongbei are not easy to defeat. If Lu Bu wants to fight, let him fight!"
"Young master, you can't do that." Wang Meng quickly advised him upon hearing this: "Now the three counties have less than five thousand garrison troops, but Lu Bu still has eight thousand cavalrymen in Bingzhou..."
"Have you forgotten?" Before Wang Meng finished speaking, Qin Hao interrupted him and said lightly: "Temujin is still in the three counties of Central and North China."
Wang Meng was stunned when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he said seriously: "Young Master, with the remaining troops of the Xiongnu, it is impossible to send troops to the three counties to garrison, so it will only be a matter of time before the three counties are lost. And this Temujin must know a little bit about it, so it is the best choice to withdraw in time to preserve our strength."
"No." A trace of inexplicable confidence flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, and he said firmly: "Temujin will not escape. As long as Temujin still wants to become a Chanyu, he cannot retreat without fighting. He can only win first." Only by retreating can Temujin block the Xiongnu's mouth."
Wang Meng opened his mouth to refute, but was speechless. He knew that what the young master said was right, and what he said was also correct, but he analyzed it from the perspective of interests, while the lord started from the perspective of people's hearts.
"But can Temujin stop Lu Bu?" Yue Fei asked worriedly: "If he can't stop Lu Bu's offensive, then..."
Yue Fei will never forget the scene of Lu Bu fighting the Yanmen generals alone. There is absolutely no one among the Xiongnu who can be Lu Bu's opponent. What's more, Lu Bu still has a military advantage, so Yue Fei doesn't think Temujin can defend against Lu Bu's offensive. Three counties.
"Don't worry, Lu Bu will be defeated here. I'm afraid Lu Bu won't be able to defeat Temujin!" Qin Hao said confidently.
The generals were all stunned when they heard this. They didn't understand why the young master had so much confidence in Temujin, and they also didn't understand the meaning of the young master's last sentence.
But Qin Hao had no intention of explaining. With a mysterious smile on his face, he ordered: "Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, and Qin Hu obey orders!"
"The general is here!" the three of them responded together.
"I now order Zhang Liao to be the chief general and lead three thousand elite cavalry to support Lu Bu. Zhao Yun and Qin Hu are the deputy generals..."
Before Qin Hao finished speaking, Qin Hu yelled, looking like he couldn't accept it, and said: "What? It's already a good thing if you don't fall out with Lu Bu, but you still want to support him? If you don't do it, you won't even kill him. Dry."
