Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 156 Reaching Xin'an County

When Liu Yu returned to Niujia Village, Qin Fu also came to join him. At this time, Qin Fu also learned the news of Guo Si's army going out, and he was waiting to get the information so that he could tell Mengxin.

But Liu Yu said there is no need to worry, the army's expedition is not something that can be done overnight, Guo Si must first stabilize the camp before attacking slowly.

So it's not yet time to arrange for the Baibo soldiers to ambush.

And Liu Yu also needed to make arrangements in advance before the big battle, so he took Qin Fu straight to Gucheng County.

To the east of Gucheng County is Luoyang City, and to the west is Hangu Pass, but Liu Yu did not continue west but turned to the north when he arrived here. After walking for about half a day, he came to Mengjin County.

Mengjin County used to be a gathering place for Baibo thieves. Since they captured Hongnong City, they took all the thieves here to the other side.

As soon as I entered Mengjin County, I looked around in a mess. After walking for a long time, I could hardly see a single family.

It seems that when the Baibo bandits left, they not only took all the supplies, but even the people were driven to Hongnong County by them.

"This place has become scorched earth. What's the general's purpose in bringing me here?" Qin Fu already knew that Liu Yu was named King of Zhongshan, but he was still used to calling him a general after getting along with him all the year round.

Liu Yu didn't tell him the reason directly, but pointed to a strange sign on the wall and said, "You will know the reason after walking a mile forward!"

After walking for a mile, Liu Yu stopped and whistled, and then two people came out from the secret place.

Qin Fu was a little surprised when he saw the appearance of the two of them clearly, because he knew one of them.

"The last general Zhang Fei pays his respects to the lord!"

"...Sinner Wang Han, meet the general!"

Zhang Fei also came with the school lieutenant Wang Han, but his hands were tied and he could not pay homage, so he had to bend down to salute.

Liu Yu sighed lightly when he saw it, and signaled Qin Fu to untie him.

A few days ago, Liu Yu knew Qin Fu's true identity, so he immediately sent someone to notify the generals in Hulao Pass, and ordered Wang Han to be strictly guarded.

When setting up the Seven Battalions and Three Guards, Liu Yu asked Wang Han to lead the two guards of light and shadow, and asked him to directly obey his orders, which can be said to be quite important.

Now that I think about it, I was too emotional at the time, after all, Wang Han only had less than 80 loyalty points.

Although loyalty cannot control a person's heart, it can be used as a yardstick. Those with high loyalty can be entrusted with heavy responsibilities, while those with low loyalty should be weighed more.

Sure enough, after Wang Han's identity was found out, his loyalty to Liu Yu disappeared immediately, and now only friendship remained.

"The two of you are no longer my generals, but it is very important to deal with Guo Bang's army this time. I hope you two can still obey the dispatch and don't miss the big deal!"

Both Qin Fu and Wang Han felt that they had cheated Liu Yu, and they felt wronged, and it was related to their adoptive father, so they quickly nodded and answered yes.

After dealing with Wang Han's affairs, Liu Yu took Zhang Fei aside for questioning.

Zhang Fei received Liu Yu's secret order five days ago. After receiving the order, he quietly sneaked into Mengjin County with [-] Yulin troops to hide and wait.

The Yulin Army is divided into seven battalions and three guards. This time Zhang Fei brought the soldiers numbered as the third battalion of the soil.

The land route from Hulaoguan to Luoyang City had to pass through Gong County, Li Jue's jurisdiction. It was impossible for 4000 people to pass the inspection safely.

Later, it was Jia Xu's plan to let Zhang Fei take the soldiers of the Tu Sanbattalion out of the customs first, and then went to Pingyin County to cross the Yellow River by boat, and then directly entered Mengjin County.

Of course, Jia Xu must have sent scouts to the other side of the river to check the situation before that. When he found that Mengjin County had been scorched, he finally decided on the hiding place after crossing the river.

"Has the manpower brought by Yide this time been properly arranged?"

"My lord, don't worry, the soldiers are all pretending to be ordinary people and scattered around Mengjin County, but they can immediately go to battle as long as there is an order!"

Liu Yu nodded in satisfaction, "There's no need to expose it too early, it's time for Yide to show his skills at the critical moment!"

Zhang Fei smiled honestly, and then asked about the situation of his elder brother Liu Bei. When he heard that Liu Bei had become one of the Nine Ministers, Zongzheng, he laughed, not to mention how happy he was.

Although Zhang Fei looked reckless and rude, in fact, he was delicate in his heart. Liu Bei's leap to become an important minister of the court can be said to be a glorious ancestor, but he knew that his brother's fortune today was all because of this person in front of him.

"Thank you, my lord, for supporting my three brothers. Zhang Fei will definitely repay it to the death!"

……

Liu Yu came to Mengjin County this time mainly to meet with Zhang Fei and leave his contact information so that he could receive those captives and soldiers in time after Guo Si's army was defeated.

After finalizing some details, Liu Yu took Qin Fu and Wang Han and left the place.

This time Liu Yu still did not go to Hangu Pass, but went all the way west and directly entered Xin'an County in the north of Hongnong County.

There had long been gathered troops from all walks of life to deal with Guo Si, including the [-] soldiers from Gong County brought by Xu Huang, and the [-] Ma Family Army commanded by Ma Chao, but at the moment they all said that they were Liu Yu's subordinates.

Because besides them there were [-] private soldiers from the Wang family and the Xun family. In order not to make them suspicious, both Xu Huang and Ma Chao said that they were Liu Yu's subordinates who came from Hulao Pass.

And Liu Yu had previously mentioned in front of Wang Yun and others that he would find a way to transfer 1 people from Hulaoguan. At this time, the number was right, so Wang Yun and Xun Shuang had no doubts.

Xin'an County is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, and the Yellow River floods in summer. In addition, this area is mostly saline-alkali land, which is not conducive to farming. Therefore, although Guo Tai and others occupied the entire Hongnong County, they did not deploy defenses in this county.

It's not that the number of the Baibo army is not enough to allocate, but that this place has no use value and is not worth sending troops to garrison.

After Liu Yu learned of the situation, he asked Niu Fu to send someone to investigate on the spot. After making sure that there were no Baibo thieves here, he set the base camp of several groups of people here.

It was getting late, and Wang Kai and Xun Yu were chatting about the upcoming battle in the private army camp of the Wang and Xun families.

Naturally, Situ Wang Yun and Sikong Xun Shuang would not be in person for this battle, so the Wang family sent Wang Kai, and the Xun family sent Xun Yu.

Although Wang Kai is Situ Wangyun's nephew, his aptitude and ability are really not high, so Xun Yu is in command of the [-] private soldiers in many cases.

"Brother Wen Ruo, do you think King Zhongshan's strategy can really succeed? If not, will we be pushed into the battlefield!"

Wang Kai didn't want to go to the battlefield, and he trembled when he thought of the scene of fighting with the enemy.

Xun Yu smiled and comforted, "Brother Wang, you must have forgotten. The patriarchs of your two families just arranged for us to take the opportunity to receive troops and supplies. If the plan fails, the mission will naturally be cancelled."

As soon as Wang Kai heard it, it made sense. Anyway, Guo Bang Bubai and their 7000 people would not go to the battlefield, so his previous worries did not exist.

And Xun Yu was not satisfied with the position of guarding the palace that his family arranged for him. He wanted to take his family to Hebei to join Yuan Shao, hoping to show his ambitions, but he didn't want to receive Sikong Xun when he was about to leave the city. Shuang arranged tasks.

He was forced to come here, so he didn't care much about the success of the plan. He just hoped to finish the task arranged by the family soon, and then he could go north to Jizhou.

In history, Xun Yu went to Jizhou at this time. After that, he was still not reused by Yuan Shao, and finally switched to Cao Cao to become famous in one fell swoop.

But now, because of Liu Yu's plan to ambush Guo Si's army, he is stranded here.
