Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 384
Outside the Luohu Mountain, Xu Chu and Tai Shici joined forces to clean up those Huaiyang soldiers who had resisted in the corner and had not yet escaped.

"Ziyi, where is Qiao Rui?" Xu Chu asked.

Tai Shici snorted softly, and said, "That Qiao Ruitu was also cowardly, so he didn't fight me. After the confrontation, he fled into the mountains."

"Then let's quickly gather our troops and go into the mountains to hunt for thieves!" Xu Chu said hastily.

After hearing this, Tai Shici waved his hands and said, "Don't be impulsive, Zhongkang, this place should be the Luohu Mountain mentioned by the lord."

"Luohu Mountain?" Xu Chu frowned, "Then you can't enter rashly."

Before deciding to launch an army to attack Yuan Shu, Zhao Qian had already appointed Jing Fei to use the Feixun camp to collect information on Huaiyang, Runan, and Yingchuan.

Zhao Qian had known the situation of Luohu Mountain for a long time. He knew that the terrain in the mountain was complex and easy to defend but difficult to attack. If he entered rashly, he would definitely suffer a lot of losses.

"What should we do now?" Xu Chu then asked.

Tai Shici pondered for a moment and said: "Qiao Rui is trapped in Luohu Mountain, and will definitely find a way to get in touch with the defenders in Runan. We must not let him succeed."

Xu Chu nodded, and said: "Ziyi's words are reasonable. First clean the battlefield, and then divide the troops to garrison each other as horns. And tell the master about this place."

After the discussion between the two, they began to clean the battlefield. After finishing their work, they set up two large camps outside Luohu Mountain, and dispatched patrol soldiers to keep wandering around, so as not to let the news in Luohu Mountain spread out.

At this time, Zhao Qian had already completed taking over Shangcai, and after everything was settled, he received military reports from Xu Chu and Tai Shici.

After reading the military newspaper, Zhao Qian laughed loudly, and said to Xun You beside him, "Gongda, that Qiao Rui really led the army to reinforce Shangcai, but he didn't know that Chen Ji was dead and Shangcai was under the jurisdiction of this general." below."

Xun You smiled slightly, and said, "Seeing that my lord is so happy, I think Qiao Rui won't be able to reach Shangcai and see my lord's demeanor."

Hearing Xun You's words, Zhao Qian laughed again, nodded and said, "Gongda's words are correct. That Qiao Rui led an army of [-] troops to rescue Shangcai, but they have been defeated by Zhongkang and Ziyi, and are now nesting in Luohu Mountain." I dare not come out."

"My lord, what's your plan next?" Xun You asked.

After Zhao Qian pondered for a moment, he clapped his hands and said: "Time is waiting, Shangcai has been won, I have no worries, it is time to continue to march, take Runan, Huaiyang's door is wide open, and Yuan Shu will be captured without a fight."

Zhang Fei stepped forward and said, "Brother, what are you waiting for, hurry up and take down Shouchun."

Zhao Qian shook his head with a smile, and said, "Why is Yide anxious? This meal needs to be eaten bite by bite, and battles have to be fought one by one. Qiao Rui has not been resolved yet. How can Shouchun be so easy?"

Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "That's all I said, old Zhang, and I still have to listen to the arrangement of my elder brother."

Zhao Qian nodded, and said to Ma Chao next to him: "Meng Qi, although Shangcai has been captured, but after the eastward march, people must be stationed here, you see?"

Ma Chao was taken aback for a moment, then he understood, and said, "Does my lord want Chao to be stationed at Shangcai?"

"That's right." Zhao Qian nodded and said, "The line between Shangcai and Ruyang is the throat of Yuzhou. If we go deep alone and don't take precautions, others will cut off the back road, which will be very bad."

Xun You also echoed, "My lord's words are true. Although Yuan Shu is stupid, he is not incompetent. This is the reason why Chen Ji was sent to station in Shangcai."

Zhang Fei didn't understand and asked: "Now that Yuan Shu's team has been defeated here, who will cut off our army's retreat?"

Zhao Qian laughed and said: "Anyone is possible, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, even Tao Qian, Liu Zhang."

"Brother, this..." Zhang Fei was still a little puzzled.

Zhao Qian interrupted him directly, and said: "Yide, you must remember that as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, you must not only have the ability to respond to sudden situations, but also consider everything in advance. Before fighting, count the defeat first, always It won't hurt."

Zhang Fei nodded half understanding, and Zhao Qian didn't explain too much, as long as he fought more battles, he would understand these things.

"Meng Qi, is it okay to hand over the defense of Shangcai and Ruyang to you?" Zhao Qian asked again.

Ma Chao was silent for a while. He really wanted to follow Zhao Qian to continue the Eastern Expedition, but he also understood that there must be no one stationed here.

Glancing at Zhang Fei, Ma Chao knew in his heart that as the righteous brother of the lord Zhao Qian, he must continue to march as a pioneer, and Ma Chao also knew Zhang Fei's ability. From this point of view, he was qualified and obliged to stay The only one who came down to guard was Ma Chao.

When Ma Chao was thinking, Zhao Qian did not speak, but just looked at him quietly, waiting for Ma Chao's answer.

Finally, after thinking for a while, Ma Chao nodded and said: "My lord orders, Chao dare not say anything, and I will definitely live up to my lord's expectations."

"Okay!" Zhao Qian said happily, "In this way, I will leave [-] soldiers for Meng Qi to defend other places and come to see the surrendered army. I hope that when the triumphant return, the surrendered army here will be another elite army." teacher."

Why didn't Ma Chao understand Zhao Qian's words? Zhao Qian's meaning was very clear, that is, let him reorganize Shangcai's surrender army. As for the future commander, it must belong to him, Ma Chao.

"Thank you for your trust, my lord. Chaoding will train a team of tiger and wolf teachers." Ma Chao hurriedly cupped his fists in thanks.

Zhao Qian nodded, and then said to Zhang Fei: "Yide, go and order Qi soldiers, ready to go at any time."

"Decree!" Zhang Fei was very happy after confirming that he was continuing the eastward expedition instead of staying to garrison, and quickly received the order to mobilize troops.

Looking at Zhang Fei's excited expression, Zhao Qian was a little funny. He didn't dare to leave Zhang Fei to defend the city. Did you see how Liu Bei's Xuzhou was lost in history?
After the arrangements for the transfer of troops were completed, Zhao Qian looked at Xun You and asked, "Gongda, do you have anything to add?"

Xun You chuckled, and said: "My lord's business is so rare, and my suggestion is nothing more than a follow-up."

Zhao Qian glanced at Xun You, feeling a little helpless. He obviously wanted to flatter him, but it didn't work. Anyway, Zhao Qian didn't feel very good.

"Mr. Gongda, there is no need to be modest, just speak up if you have something to say." Zhao Qian said with a smile.

Xun You also smiled a little embarrassedly, probably knowing that his flattering skill is very average, coughed lightly and said: "I just want to remind my lord, don't forget that Yuan Shu still has a support team."

After hearing Xun You's words, Zhao Qian raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "Gongda is referring to Yang Feng?"
