Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 179 Capture Han Li Alive
That night, Meng Xin and Qu Shuai Li Le led [-] bandit soldiers to the west gate and left the city quietly. After making a big circle, they found a hiding place outside Hu County and hid themselves.

At dawn the next day, Guo Zhen led the grain transportation team to set off as scheduled, but was suddenly attacked by a group of white wave thieves when they were fifty miles away.

Guo Zhen fought hard to meet the enemy, but because the food transport team was not strong enough, he had to retreat to Hu County.

This battle seemed to be fierce, but one side was the private soldiers from Hu County, and the other side was the Baibo soldiers led by Qin Fu. The two sides fought in a tacit understanding. Only the shouts of killing were loud, but not many people were injured. .

The place where the battle took place was not far from Guo Bang's camp. When Guo Zhen retreated to Hu County, scouts from the Xiliang army brought what they saw on the battlefield back to the camp.

"What! You said that Guo Zhen's food transportation team encountered Baibo bandits halfway?" Guo Si asked worriedly, "Has the food and grass been damaged?"

Lieutenant General Han Li clasped his fists and reported back: "Although General Guo Zhen's grain transportation team is not strong enough, the group of Baibo thieves is even worse. The scout said that if it wasn't for fear of damage to the grain truck, General Guo Zhen would have rushed here forcibly. Already!"

Guo Bang's face was still not very good after hearing this, the army's food and grass are only enough for one day, if no supplies are delivered today, the morale of the army may be greatly reduced.

"Send someone to check again quickly. If the food transport team still can't move forward, bring some soldiers and horses to clear the obstacles for them!"

"Obey, this subordinate will send someone to do it!"

……

The scouts who were sent out two hours later returned to the camp again, and this time also came with the deputy general Guo Zhen who was in charge of delivering food.

"Where is the right general, take me to see the right general!" Guo Zhen yelled loudly that something was wrong when he entered the camp, which cast a shadow over the hearts of the soldiers who were already low in morale.

We all know that Guo Zhen is the general in charge of guarding the logistics and food. He came to report in a hurry. Could it be that there is a problem with the supply in the rear?

"Guo Zhen, shut up and talk to the right general!" Han Li felt that Guo Zhen was dragged into the tent of the Chinese army.

After entering the big tent, Guo Zhen turned his head and worshiped, "Hu County is besieged by bandits, and I ask the right general to send troops to rescue. If it is too late, I am afraid that the food and grass will not be guaranteed!"

"How many people did the rebels send to Weihu County?" Guo Si had a calm face, and he didn't panic because the grain road was attacked.

Guo Zhen clasped his fists and replied: "Reporting to the general, there are about 3 people. It is only because most of the people who will be summoned at the end of this grain transportation are farmers in Yiyang City, so they are beaten by the bandits. Can retreat to the county seat!"

Yiyang City was Guo Bang's granary and military supply depot, and Guo Zhen's practice of keeping most of his soldiers in the city was still approved by him.

However, when he heard that there were [-] bandit soldiers on the outskirts of the city of Hu County, Guo Si did not order an immediate rescue, but laughed wildly while looking outside the tent.

At this moment, Deputy General Han Li asked in confusion, "Why are you laughing, General?"

Guo Si pointed at the opposite Hongnong City and said with a smile: "Most of the bandit soldiers who attacked the city were killed or injured several times, and now they have sent 3 people to rob my food road. How many soldiers are there in the city? I think There will be no more than 3 people!"

After hearing this, Han Li immediately understood, "General You means to take advantage of the emptiness in the city to storm Hongnong City!"

"That's right!" Guo Bang clapped his hands proudly, but Guo Zhen reminded again: "Although this is a good opportunity to attack the city, Hu County..."

Guo Si thought that this opportunity must not be missed, but the way of food is just as important!
"How about this, I will personally command the siege battle, and send Han Li to take [-] elite soldiers with you to rescue Hu County, and after the bandits are repelled, quickly transport the food here!"

Hearing that Guo Si had finally ordered to rescue, Guo Zhenxin secretly said, "Finally, the task of the master's agent has been successfully completed!"

……

Guo Zhen and Han Li led the [-] Xiliang army and rushed back to Hu County. As soon as they approached the city, they saw a large group of white wave thieves provoking the city.

So Guo Zhen suggested that they each take [-] soldiers to attack the Baibo bandits from both sides of the rear, and finally meet in front of the city gate.

Han Li had fought the Baibo thief for many days, and he knew that the opponent's combat power was not good enough, so he had no objection to Guo Zhen's proposal.

Sure enough, the two of them suddenly came to kill with soldiers, and immediately frightened the Baibo thieves to run around.

The rise of Han Lisha kept chasing the small group of bandits, and Guo Zhen led people into the city as soon as the bandits retreated.

Three thousand Xiliang soldiers entered the city and were immediately dumbfounded. They saw soldiers holding bows and arrows all around them. The bows were full of bows and arrows. As long as they dared to move around, they would be shot into a sieve immediately.

"General Guo Zhen, what's going on here!" A small school asked in bewilderment.

Guo Zhen replied with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just a routine inspection to see if any spies have sneaked into the city. Put down the weapons in your hands first, and return them to you after the inspection!"

Now that Guo Zhen said so, the [-] soldiers who came for reinforcements could only follow suit. Who is Guo Zhen the second-in-command in the entire army.

As soon as they put down their weapons, these people were immediately tied up. Only then did they realize that there was no routine inspection at all, and they became prisoners!
About half an hour later, Han Li, who was chasing and killing bandits outside the city, was also tired, so he led his men to the city gate, laughing at Guo Zhenzhi as he walked, saying that he only knew how to defend the city but dared not Lead troops to kill the enemy.

But just as he and his men arrived in front of the city gate, they suddenly heard the sound of bandit soldiers charging again from behind.

Han Li looked back and saw that there were more bandits coming back, and the weapons in their hands seemed to be much stronger than the group just now.

"Open the city gate quickly, the bandit squad is coming!" Han Li shouted towards the tower, but no one responded.

When he kicked the city gate angrily, a row of archers suddenly appeared on the city wall.

Seeing the archer aiming at him, Han Li quickly took several steps back in fright, "What are you doing, how can you point the arrow at your own people?"

At this time, there was a burst of hearty laughter on the city wall, "It is precisely because General Han is one of our own, so now we need you to deal with those Baibo thieves!"

When Han Li saw that the person speaking was Zhongshan King Liu Yu, he was stunned on the spot, "Why is Zhongshan King on the city wall? Where did General Guo Zhen go?"

Liu Yu smiled heartily again, "You'd better drive off the bandits behind you first, and then come and ask why!"

Han Li had no choice but to turn around to meet the enemy, but this time there were too many bandits. Although his 3000 men were considered heroic, the difference in numbers was too large and they were gradually swallowed up by the crowd.

The battle lasted for half an hour, and finally the Xiliang soldiers were wiped out, only Han Li managed to escape back to the city gate.

Liu Yu asked someone to drop the rope and pull him to the top of the city tower. Han Li thanked him and wanted to thank him, but he was tied behind his back by the soldier with a rope as soon as he clasped his hands together.

"What are you doing?" Han Li struggled angrily.

Liu Yu stepped forward to comfort him and said, "It's nothing. I just want to invite General Han to be a prisoner in Yiyang County for a few days! As for whether you can regain your freedom, it depends on your performance!"

Han Li continued to say hello, until he saw the markings on the clothes of the soldiers around him, he was surprised to find that these people on the tower were all private soldiers of aristocratic families.

……

After this battle, the Baibo thief lost tens of thousands of people, and his commander Li Le was also killed on the spot.

After the battle, Meng Xin was about to command the bandits to retreat, but was suddenly dragged away by Qin Fu to a place where no one was around.

"What do you mean?" Meng Xin asked curiously.

"Someone wants to see foster father!" Qin Fu finished speaking and pointed to Liu Yu on the city wall.

In fact, Meng Xin had wanted to meet Liu Yu for a long time. It was better to hit the sun than to choose a date, so the two made an appointment to talk under a big tree two miles away from the city.
