Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 169 Exposed

As soon as Guo Zhen heard the familiar voice behind him, he was basically convinced of his speculation. It seemed that the night attack had something to do with that person!
"If the city falls and the granary falls, General Guo Zhen will be executed by military law even if he escapes from Yiyang City. It's better to surrender to save his life!"

Hearing Liu Yu's voice again made Guo Zhen a little scared from the bottom of his heart. He looked at the tree hole under his feet again, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this opponent was too powerful. He actually started to lay out the layout a few days ago in order to attack the city.

"...I am making a wish!" Guo Zhen sighed and dropped the saber in his hand, then he turned around tremblingly while supporting his injured leg, knelt down and surrendered.

At this time, he saw Liu Yu looking at him with a smile, and behind Liu Yu were full of elite soldiers with sharp knives in their hands.Only then did he realize that if he hadn't chosen to surrender just now, he might never have the chance to turn around again in this life.

If given the chance to choose, most people would still not want to die. As for how much loyalty they would have to the new lord after surrendering, that would vary from person to person.

"Your Majesty is willing to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. Just now about fifty soldiers escaped from the city over the wall. I ordered them to divide into two groups and send letters to General You... Guo Si and Hangu Pass. If you go after them at this time, you should be able to Can catch up."

Now that he surrendered, he should consider getting a good position under the new lord's command, so Guo Zhen told the whereabouts of the deserters.

As for the credibility of his words, it is directly related to his loyalty, and Liu Yu can see the loyalty of his subordinates from the system.

"Ding, Guo Zhen's loyalty is 85."

When the loyalty reaches 85, you can basically believe what you say.

Liu Yu was not worried about deserters leaving the city. The only thing he needed to confirm was whether those 50 soldiers were the only ones who escaped from the city.

When Guo Zhen heard the words, he quickly assured that he had indeed only sent 50 people to send letters to both sides, and reminded him again to chase them quickly.

After finishing speaking, Guo Zhen thought he would be praised by Liu Yu, but he heard a black-faced strong man beside him laughing: "You don't need to remind me, my lord has already set up ambushes in front of Strider Pond and Hangu Pass. won't get there."

Guo Zhen was taken aback again after hearing this, and only then did he realize how well-planned Liu Yu's layout was, and even the route of the deserters had been arranged in advance.

After knowing the specific number of escaped soldiers, Liu Yu immediately sent someone to inform Ma Chao and Xun Yu, telling them to stop those deserters who wanted to report.

……

After this battle, Xu Huang's subordinates lost more than 1000 people, but killed 3000 defenders and captured more than [-] people.

Counting the 5000 captives tied up in the granary compound, Liu Yu gained more than [-] elite combat forces in this battle alone.

Xu Huang was recruited by Liu Yu using system props, that is to say, the two had not had much contact before, so Xu Huang's admiration for Liu Yu came from rumors before Hulao Pass.

And this battle was the first time Xu Huang witnessed Liu Yu's extraordinary strategy with his own eyes, so the loyalty that had been lost immediately became full again.

Although Xu Huang belonged to Liu Yu, his ostensible status was that of a general appointed by Li Jue, and the five thousand Xiliang soldiers from Gong County he brought were all Li Jue's fans.

Therefore, after winning the battle, these people immediately asked to use prisoners to expand their troops.

According to Li Jue's intention, he would have to take away [-] captives in return for his adventurous help. This matter was agreed in advance by several parties in Niu Fu's other courtyard.

But what goes into Liu Yu's pocket, there is no one else's share.

He rejected Xu Huang and the Gong County generals on the grounds that the newly captured soldiers could not go to the battlefield immediately, and persuaded everyone not to be impatient, as there were greater benefits waiting for them later.

But on the surface, Liu Yu still divided these captives and food into three parts, one for himself, and one for Ma Teng and Li Jue, but both the food and the prisoners had to be temporarily detained in Yiyang City.

The generals from Gong County saw that Liu Yu's assignment was reasonable. Besides, the battle was not over yet, and there were still nearly [-] soldiers waiting to be dealt with and recruited by Guo Bang, so they decided to come after Guo Bang was completely defeated after discussion. Talk about dividing the prisoners.

After dawn, Liu Yu was going to appease the frightened people, but considering the overall situation, it was not suitable for him to show up, so he asked Zhang Fei to go to the city pretending to be a Baibo thief to appease the people.

In this way, it is confirmed that the guard Guo Zhen was really defeated by the sneak attack of the Baibo thief.

Then Liu Yu ordered the entire city to impose a ban immediately, and no one was allowed to enter and leave at will without ordering.Because the news of the fall of Yiyang City could not reach Guo Si's ears for the time being.

In the afternoon Liu Yu asked Xu Huang to take his men to Strider Pond to find Xun Yu, leaving Zhang Fei and the soldiers of the Tu Sanying to guard Yiyang City, while he went to Hangu Pass to join Ma Chao.

……

Liu Yu rode a horse and galloped for less than ten miles, passing a small forest. Suddenly, the visual function of the system gave a sneak attack alarm, so his legs clamped the horse's belly, and his body instantly fell to the side.

Then I saw a cold arrow flying across the horse's back.

"What a fast arrow! Who is the sneak attack?" Liu Yu returned to the horse with all his might, and glanced at the small woods behind him from the corner of his eye.

If you dare to attack me, I will teach you how to look good!
Liu Yu turned his horse's head and rushed towards the grove. During this process, the attacker fired five arrows in a row, each of which almost hit the target, but Liu Yu cleverly dodged them all.

"Hey! Can he see the trajectory of the arrow clearly at such a distance?" The sneak attacker was very confident in his arrow skills, so Liu Yu's appearance shocked him even more.

Because so far, no one has been able to dodge his arrows at such a short distance, and it is still five arrows in a row.

"Woo..." Near the woods, Liu Yu suddenly pulled the reins, and he could already see the attacker's face clearly.

It's just that the owner of this face suddenly appeared here, which really surprised Liu Yu.

"It's you!"

"it's me."

Lu Bu rode slowly out of the woods, his face filled with an expression of insight.

In an instant, Liu Yu felt uneasy in his heart.

This place is very close to Yiyang City, when did Lu Bu come here?Did he see the fire in the city last night?
Although he was uneasy in his heart, Liu Yu didn't show it on his face, and said in a teasing tone: "I just formed an alliance with General Fengxian, but was attacked again. Your ally is really unreliable!"

Liu Yu was smiling, and Lu Bu was also smiling, and he was very confident.

"Isn't it? I didn't expect that Master Grand Master's undercover agent would lead someone to cut off Guo Si's back route. I really need to reconsider the matter of this ally!"

The meaning of Lu Bu's words is obvious. He saw Liu Yu attacking Yiyang City, which means that he has Liu Yu's handle again in his hand, and this time the handle is more valuable than Cai Yan's father and daughter.

Hearing the words, Liu Yu could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, then he glanced at Lu Bu, and shook his head regretfully, "Oh! You shouldn't have come here, and since you're here, you can't leave!"

Lu Bu still smiled confidently, but held Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand, "You want to kill me? Hehe, you are so naive. I have never lost in a horse battle!"

"Really! Then today you may be very miserable. Not only will you lose your life, but you will lose your reputation as the number one in the world!" Liu Yu looked directly at the other party, and the domineering aura of a king was instantly revealed.
