Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 174
In Yiyang City, Liu Yu assigned tasks to Ma Chao and Zhang Fei respectively, and then he took Qin Fu and surrendered general Guo to the direction of Strider Chi.

There is a big mountain fifty miles away from Strider Pool, where Xun Yu and Xu Huang's troops are hiding.

As soon as Liu Yu arrived at Xun Yu, he brought the 25 deserters over.

"Fortunately, all the deserters from Yiyang are here!" Xun Yu has changed since he learned about the mysterious rich businessman. He was not interested in the operation arranged by the family at first, but now he has become a rich man without hesitation. Commander of private soldiers.

"Sir, I, Liu Yu, can rest assured!" After speaking, he asked the surrendered general Guo Zhen to claim those deserters.

Xun Yu glanced at Guo Zhen who was walking away, and then asked with a smile: "The king of Zhongshan brought this person here, could it be that he wants to earn money from the city!"

Liu Yu nodded appreciatively, "I just brought a Guo Zhen, and my husband saw through my intentions. He is really an outstanding talent!"

After hearing this, Xun Yu hurriedly clasped his fists in humility to return the salute, "Miao Zan, the king of Zhongshan, you are the real strategist!"

At this time, Xu Huang, who was on the side, also understood the significance of Guo Zhen's coming here after listening to the two, so he clasped his fists and asked for a fight.

"Please also ask the king of Zhongshan to give orders, the last general is willing to be the vanguard!"

"General Gongming, don't panic, there are only two hundred pawns in the city of Strider. Since Mr. Wen Ruo has guessed my plan, let him take Guo Zhen to earn the city! Besides, I have something more important to ask you for advice! "

Hearing Liu Yu's order, Xun Yu immediately took his subordinate Guo Zhen to discuss the matter of attacking Strider City, so there were only Liu Yu, Xu Huang and Qin Fu left here.

"The king of Zhongshan just said that he has something important to ask, but I don't know what it is?" Xu Huang saw that Qin Fu was still there, so he didn't dare to call Liu Yu the lord.

Seeing Xu Huang's eyes, Qin Fu wanted to turn around and avoid, but was called back by Liu Yu.

"It's about the leader of the Baibo bandit, Captain Qin doesn't need to avoid it!" After saying this, Liu Yu asked Xu Huang about Yang Feng.

Xu Huang was originally a small official in Yang County, Hedong County. When the Baibo bandits attacked Yang County, Xu Huang resisted desperately, but was captured because he was outnumbered.

At that time, Yang Feng, one of the thieves, accepted him as a general when he saw that he was brave and good at fighting. Later, Yang Feng joined Li Jue's army, and Xu Huang joined the Xiliang army together.So Liu Yu thinks that Xu Huang should know Yang Feng better.

"Does Gongming think that there is still a connection between Yang Feng and Mrs. Guo, the head of the Baibo bandit?"

"This... the final general dare not say anything. I only know that Mrs. Guo once saved Yang Feng's life. The two are as close as brothers, but later they parted ways because of a small incident... It is indeed too sudden!"

After Xu Huang finished speaking, there was still a trace of disdain on his face, as if he looked down on Yang Feng's behavior.

Only Liu Yu said: "In fact, Yang Feng and Mrs. Guo have always been in contact, and he was also instructed by Mrs. Guo to vote for the Xiliang Army!"

"Ah! There is such a thing!" Xu Huang was shocked.

At this time, Qin Fu stood up, "What King Zhongshan said is true, Yang Feng is indeed Mrs. Guo's last trump card!"

When Liu Yu was chatting with Zou Huimin that night, he learned that Mrs. Guo, the leader of the Baibo bandit, intended to send Zou Huimin to Chang'an defender Zhang Ji.

But at first, Liu Yu couldn't figure out how Zhang Ji, the general of the Xiliang Army, would collude with the leader of the bandits, Guo Taiyou, until he thought of Yang Feng who was ordered to go to Chang'an to help defend the city.

Later Liu Yu asked the reason from Qin Fu, and sure enough, he guessed correctly, it was not Mrs. Guo but Yang Feng who wanted to send Zou Huimin to Zhang Ji.

Liu Yu still has a deep impression of Yang Feng. In history, Yang Feng started as a bandit from Baibo, and later climbed all the way to various warlords in Xiliang. He served as lieutenants under Li Jue, Guo Si and Zhang Ji.

After Dong Zhuo's death, the Xiliang warlords fought among themselves, Yang Feng left them on time, rescued the emperor in Anyi, and was banned as a chariot general.

His series of behaviors resembled a speculator who was good at making money. In the eyes of such a person, he had no friends and only looked at whether the other party was of value.

Moreover, Liu Yu still clearly remembered that there was an unofficial history record that Yang Feng finally became bigger and stronger by recruiting the Baibo thief.

So Liu Yu guessed wrong boldly, this time Yang Feng will not be the last trump card of the Baibo thief, but it is very likely to send Mrs. Guo and others to the guillotine.

For the time being, Liu Yu doesn't want the Baibo bandits to be defeated immediately. He still needs the help of the Baibo army to hold back Guo Si's army.

In order to prevent Yang Feng from leading his troops close to Hongnong's rear in the name of rescue, Liu Yu had to take some precautions.

So he ordered: "There is Huayin County to the west of Hongnong. General Gongming immediately led his troops to monitor the vicinity, and if he found any troops from Chang'an, report back immediately."

Xu Huang knew Yang Feng's character very well, and he also felt that Liu Yu's guess was accurate, so Dang even took four thousand soldiers and went down to hide under Huashan Mountain.

The north of the mountain is Yin, and the ultimate place from Huayin to Hongnong is at the foot of Huashan Mountain.

……

Not long after Xu Huang's troops left, the surrendered general Guo Zhen went out in person, and led a thousand soldiers to pretend to be a food delivery team, and walked slowly towards the city gate.

"Who are you, you are not allowed to approach the city gate anymore!"

"Blind your dog eyes, don't you know who I am?"

The defender of the city fixed his eyes and saw that it was Guo Zhen who came, and apologized quickly on the spot. "The villain's eyes are stupid, so go down and order someone to open the city gate!"

The gate of the city opened slowly, and more than 1000 people dressed as food transport teams rushed into the city after leaving.

Guo Zhen sighed secretly after watching it, thinking that it seems that he can only follow Liu Yu all the way to the dark in this life!

Using the same method, Liu Yu easily won the two cities of Shan County and Hu County on the second day.

At this time, Guo Bang was only focused on commanding the army to attack Hongnong City, but he didn't realize that the back road had already been cut off.

The siege battle started again early this morning, and Guo Bang's army still took advantage of the siege vehicles to attack the thieves on the city wall mercilessly.

The leader of the thieves, Guo Tai, adopted Mengxin's idea and used rockets to burn down the siege vehicles, which allowed Guo Si's army to temporarily retreat.

The siege battle lasted for three days, and Guo Bang only lost 3000 troops, but killed nearly 4 Baibo bandits in the city.

It's just that all the siege engines were broken in the last day's fight, so Guo Bang ordered the whole army to rest for a few days, and wait until the new siege equipment was built before continuing to attack.

In addition, the food and grass in the camp are almost finished, so it is time to send someone to the rear to urge Guo Zhen.

……

In the Marshal's Mansion in Hongnong City, Guo was too anxious like an ant on a frying pan. He overestimated the strength of his subordinates, and at the same time underestimated the combat power of the Xiliang Army.

After fighting for only three days, more than half of his men were killed or injured. If no reinforcements arrived, the city would really be lost.

Teng Teng Teng... There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Han Xian, who was usually not good at speaking, shouted in a very happy tone: "Commander, Leader Yang has replied!"

Guo Tai happily took the letter and opened it to see that Yang Feng's reinforcements were really coming. He would send [-] elite troops in three days at the earliest, as well as [-] bows and [-] arrows.

There were only [-] bows in the city before, and less than half of them could be used in three days. This little firepower could not be used for long-range suppression at all.

But with Yang Feng's reinforcements and ordnance, Hongnong is no longer afraid of Guo Si's siege vehicles.
