All Realms Landing

Chapter 294 Continue to Expedition to Chang'an
After Liu Bei slowly told the situation of the battle, Tang Xiu knew how they lost.

Counted!
And it was Jia Xu's plan.

The names of Niu Fu and Jia Xu were mentioned in the calamity reported by the flying horse, and Tang Xiu had already guessed about it. Sure enough, this top strategist in the late Han Dynasty who was as famous as Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, and Pang Tong really had something extraordinary.

It turned out that the three brothers Zhang Xiu, Liu Guan and Zhang, as well as Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and other generals, led an army, arrived outside Hangu Pass, and began to attack.

Although Hangu Pass is a grand pass, there are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses guarding it.And Zhang Xiu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others are all rare fierce generals in the world, leading 11 soldiers and horses, and attacking continuously.

The generals were determined to make contributions, and even attacked day and night.

As a result, there are too few troops in Hangu Pass, and there is already a sign of defeat.

Zhang Xiu, Liu Guanzhang and other generals were overjoyed, and they intensified their attacks, attacking day and night.

Finally, half a month later, Zhang Xiu, Liu Guanzhang and other generals captured Hangu Pass in one fell swoop!Although some soldiers and horses were lost, but for such a credit, it is harmless.

After the generals captured Hangu Pass, they were even more determined to make contributions, and they were ready to take advantage of the victory to pursue and take down Chang'an City in one fell swoop!

After a big victory comes a big defeat.

Zhang Xiu, Liu Guanzhang and other generals who were pursuing the victory fell into the strategy of "luting the enemy to go deep".

It turned out that Niu Fu and Jia Xu deliberately showed defeat at Hangu Pass and voluntarily abandoned Hangu Pass, thereby luring the enemy to go deeper.He also set up an ambush in Xiaoshan early to encircle and wipe out the armies of Zhang Xiu and Liu Guanzhang.

Xiaoshan, also known as Yanshan and Yaoshan, is often called Xiaohan together with the nearby Hangu Pass.

The terrain of Xiaoshan was dangerous. After Jia Xu set up an ambush plan, he waited for Zhang Xiu, Liu Guan and Zhang's army to enter the ambush area.Immediately after that, both ends of the mountain were blocked, and a sudden fierce attack was launched.

Niu Fu and Jia Xu personally supervised the battle, and the soldiers fought bravely.

Zhang Xiu, Liu Guan and Zhang Dajun were caught in it, unable to advance or retreat, panicked and chaotic, and almost all were wiped out.

Of the [-] soldiers and horses, only [-] are left, which is a loss of [-] to [-]%!
If it weren't for Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, the [-] soldiers and horses led by Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, who were mainly in charge of logistics, had not been ambushed, and I'm afraid they would have suffered even more losses!

As a result, the [-] remnants of Zhang Xiu and Liu Guanzhang, and the [-] soldiers led by Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, were already defeated and panicked, but they did not stop Niu Fu's counterattack. Guguan is lost!
Defeated and returned to Luoyang!

After Tang Xiu learned about the battle situation from Liu Bei, he was also speechless for a long time.

The Xiliang army is an elite unit, so he lost so much all at once, and he felt very distressed!This is the foundation for him to calm the world and revive the great man!

This time, Zhang Xiu, Liu Guanzhang and others lost so much!

If we had known this before, we should have sent Zhang Liao as the main general to attack Chang'an.

I believe that with Zhang Liao's handsome talent, he should not have such a big defeat.

Even if Zhang Liao was defeated in the plan, it would not be possible to give up Hangu Pass, which he had so hard to get, with [-] troops left!
It can only be said that Zhang Xiu was still too young at this time, and the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang had experienced too few battles!They are just famous generals in history, not the current famous generals. There are still many battles and growths that need to be experienced!

Guan Yu is not the famous general who flooded the Seventh Army and became a god in World War I in the future, and Zhang Fei is not the general who Chang Banpo drove back a million Cao soldiers!Whether it is Zhang Xiu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, they are still too young...

In terms of the ability to command troops to fight, they are much worse than Zhang Liao at the moment.

If Zhang Liao were to go instead, after the defeat in Zhongji, he would be able to gather the remaining [-] defeated soldiers and defend Hangu Pass to the death.Instead of retreating back to Luoyang City in panic and chaos.

Tang Xiu sighed, the matter has come to this point, there is nothing left to do.

Of course, the abilities of Zhang Xiu, Liu Guanzhang and others cannot be belittled on this basis. It can only be said that Jia Xu's strategy and deployment are too clever.From the design of the ambush to the counterattack to recapture Hangu Pass, the chain is intertwined, which is beyond the reach of human beings.

Zhang Xiu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and other generals stood in the lobby with shame on their faces, waiting for the disposition of General Tang Xiu.

This time they were careless, causing the imperial court to lose [-] soldiers and horses, which is already a serious crime!
Tang Xiu just groaned and said nothing, and he didn't intend to blame these people. Relatively speaking, it is a good thing to learn a lot of wisdom.I believe that Zhang Xiu, Liu Guanzhang and others will lead the army to fight in the future, and they will not be careless and fall for such schemes.

It's just that the price is a little higher...

Tang Xiuxin said that these prices are still acceptable, because there is nothing to do if you don't accept it, the matter has come to an end!

And next, he still wants to use troops against Niu Fu!

There is no way, if you want to pacify the world and help the big man, you must get rid of Niu Fu, a confidant!

Otherwise, Niu Fu guards Chang'an and wants to attack Luoyang City, he can go out of Hangu Pass to fight.If you want to shrink back, you can follow Hangu Pass.

Tang Xiu also killed Niu Fu's father-in-law Dong Zhuo, and the two sides became even more deadly enemies.

Only by eliminating Niu Fu's confidant trouble, Tang Xiu can free up his hands to deal with the princes of all walks of life, calm the world, and help the big man.Otherwise, it would be tantamount to keeping a ticking time bomb in the lair.

Tang Xiu was going to continue to use troops against Niu Fu, with Zhang Liao's [-] Bingzhou Army as the main force, supplemented by Zhang Ji and Fan Chou's [-] troops in charge of logistics.

A total of [-] troops will continue to attack Hangu Pass and Chang'an!
Although the military strength is not as good as that of Zhang Xiu, Liu Guanzhang and others before, but in the previous battle, although Niu Fu and Jia Xu won a big victory, they also lost some troops relatively.

The defense in Hangu Pass is not as good as before.

At the same time, Tang Xiu issued an order to appoint Mi Zhu as the prefect of Xuzhou, and the two generals Guan Hai and Gao Shun to guard Xuzhou, recruit troops and start expanding the army.

In addition, Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai, has recruited Taishi Ci as a general in the name of Tang Xiu, and has also begun to recruit troops to expand the army.

With these two armies as foreign aid, Tang Xiu had another hundred thousand troops under his command, but it still needed some time.

In this way, it can be regarded as making up for the defeat of Zhang Xiu, the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang, and others.

Tang Xiu was about to go to Chang'an, but his cheap father-in-law Wang Yun unexpectedly gave him a big surprise.

Wang Yun has sent a confidant and friend "Chen Gong" to act as a lobbyist to persuade Lu Bu to submit to the court.

Lu Bu was originally a general under Dong Zhuo's command. In Dong Zhuo's name, he led a Xiliang army of [-] to attack Ma Teng, Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others. His achievements have been reported.

Lu Bu was worthy of being the number one flying general in the world before, he was extremely brave, and he had fifty thousand elite Xiliang cavalry.

Whether it was Ma Teng, Bian Zhang, or Han Sui, they were not Lu Bu's opponents, and they were all defeated by Lu Bu.

But after Lv Bu's victory, he discovered that his "foster father" Dong Zhuo had been killed by Tang Xiu, and he had nowhere to go for a while, and he already wanted to stand on his own.
