One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 56
After Sun Jian returned to Liang County, he spent a day preparing to send troops.At the same time, Yuan Shu sent people to Liang County to deliver food and grass for half a month, and took away a thousand horses.

Although Yuan Shu promised to replenish Sun Jian's food and grass for another three months, Yuan Shu was still on guard against Sun Jian and would not replenish his food and grass all at once.

Fortunately, Sun Jian's army attacked Xu Rong's camp at night and captured a lot of food and grass. Even if Yuan Shu cut off the supply of food and grass, Sun Jian's army could persist for more than a month.

Qin Yi stayed at the base vehicle for a day before being teleported back to the previous point in time.It was the night when I returned to Liang County from Luyang.

On the sixth day of March in the first year of Chuping, Sun Jian's army of more than [-] troops marched to Xingyang.On this day, in Luoyang City, Hu Zhen and Lu Bu were making military preparations.

Xingyang, subordinate to the Sili Xiaowei Department (state level), is the first county of Henan Yin (county level).Xingyang is adjacent to Mangshan Mountain in the north, adjacent to the Yellow River, Suohe River in the south and Songshan Mountain in the south, Hulao Xiongguan in the west, and Bianhe Honggou in the east connecting Huaihe River and Surabaya River.

After Hua Xiong retreated to Xingyang, he gathered the defeated troops and deployed defenses on the spot, waiting for Dong Zhuo's order.

Sun Jian's army marched for more than two days, arrived in the south of Xingyang in the afternoon of the eighth day, and camped twenty miles away from Xingyang.

Cheng Pu and Han Dang were ordered to preside over the camp, and while it was still dark, Sun Jian led Qin Yi, Sun Ce, Huang Gai, and Zu Mao, and under the protection of [-] cavalry, continued northward, advancing to a distance of five miles from Xingyang City. From a distance of six miles, observe the defensive deployment of Xingyang City from a distance.

But seeing the towering city towers and the tall city walls, Xingyang City is like a giant beast lying at the foot of Mang Mountain, staring at the south.There are dense banners on the towers and walls, and it seems that there are many troops on duty.

"Lord, this city is so majestic, it's difficult for us to attack it alone!" Huang Gai frowned, deeply worried.

Sun Jian remained silent, and observed for a while before saying: "Hua Xiong has just been defeated, and his morale must be low. If our army can attack the city quickly, the city may not be broken."

Huang Gai was startled, and hurriedly said: "However, Xingyang is the key city of Luoyang, Dong Zhuo will not allow it to lose, and will definitely send troops to help."

Sun Jian smiled slightly: "It is true that Dong Zhuo will send reinforcements, but Luoyang is still two hundred miles away from Xingyang, and we marched from Liang County to Xingyang only a hundred miles away. Judging from the time, even if Hua Xiong was defeated and retreated to Xingyang, he would immediately go to Xingyang. Dong Zhuo reported the military situation, and when Dong Zhuo dispatched troops, he came to Xingyang at least one day later than us."

Sun Ce understood what Sun Jian meant, and asked, "Father, do you want to attack the city tomorrow?"

"Yes, quick battle!" Sun Jian said decisively.

"My lord, don't do it!" Huang Gai hurriedly dissuaded, "Our army has been marching for two days, and the soldiers are exhausted. Although Hua Xiong is newly defeated, he waits for work with ease and has a strong city to rely on. If our army rushes to attack the city, there will be nothing Odds."

Sun Jian waved his hand: "I have thought about what Gong Fu said. Tomorrow, our army will launch an attack first, and then it will depend on the situation."

Huang Gai still didn't give up, and persuaded: "My lord, since you don't have enough confidence in attacking the city, why bother to attack?"

"Well, no matter what, we must fight first." Sun Jian had his own considerations, and said: "If our army is afraid of the enemy and does not advance, how can we persuade the Suanzao princes to send troops to help? Even Yuan Shu, I am afraid that he will do the same. If you lose your trust in us, it will be difficult for you to ask him for soldiers or things in the future!"

Qin Yi had been silently listening to the conversation of Sun Jian and others. Hearing Sun Jian's words, he couldn't help sighing secretly: Sun Wentai's current situation is too difficult.He also knocked out his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach!

"If we launch an attack tomorrow, if we are blessed by God, it would be better to destroy the city in one battle; even if we return in vain, we will have an explanation to Yuan Shu, and it will better demonstrate our army's firm will to march westward to Luoyang to eliminate thieves for the country, so that The jujube princes sent troops to help. This battle is imperative!"

Seeing that Sun Jianjian had made up his mind, Huang Gai and Sun Ce stopped trying to persuade him.Several people observed for a while, then turned back the same way.

On the way back, Qin Yi suddenly felt electric numbness in his fingers, and he couldn't help but wonder: why is the system calling me at this time?It seems that there are no new tasks that can be triggered right now?

Calmly put his left hand close to his cheek, and an electronic voice from the system immediately came out in his mind: "Ding dong, trigger a random mission to help Sun Jianjun break through Xingyang with his own strength. Do you accept this mission?"

As soon as Qin Yi heard the reminder, his whole body was in a bad mood.The ghost system will really add to the chaos, even Sun Jian himself has no confidence in the siege battle tomorrow, you want me to help them break through Xingyang with a single army?Don't you think I'm too idle, deliberately find something for me to do!
"Qin Yi, listen to me, I suggest you carry out this task."

Just as Qin Yi wanted to refuse, Liu Ruoyin's voice came out of his mind.

"Reason?" Qin Yi asked with consciousness.

Liu Ruoyin said: "I think this way, if Sun Jian's army can break through Xingyang, then his next step is to enter Hulao Pass. If the princes who crusade against Dong Zhuo know that Sun Jian has broken Xingyang and sent troops to Hulao, they will not only be greatly encouraged, Moreover, Hulao Pass is the last line of defense for Luoyang, and the princes will flock to them for fear of being robbed of their achievements by Sun Jian. By that time, hundreds of thousands of troops will gather at Hulao, and you will be within [-] minutes of completing the first plot mission. It’s just a step away.”

After hearing the reason given by Liu Ruoyin, Qin Yi was also greatly moved.After hesitating for a while, he still said: "However, this task is too difficult. If you fail the random task, you will be punished."

"Even if it fails, it will only deduct the upgrade points you have obtained, and it will not threaten your personal safety. What are you afraid of?" Liu Ruoyin said in a tone of hatred for iron and steel.

Qin Yi thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said consciously: "Okay, I accept this task!"

"Ding Dong, the mission has been successfully triggered, please help Sun Jian's army break Xingyang within three days."

I go!It's only three days, old man, can you make some troubles?
"What is Tianyu thinking?"

Just after the call was over, Sun Jian suddenly asked Qin Yi.

"Oh, I was thinking about how to conquer Xingyang." Qin Yi said perfunctorily.

"Can Yu get anything that day?" Sun Jian asked again.

Qin Yi shook his head and sighed: "Alas, we have gained nothing. We only have ten thousand soldiers and horses. It will be difficult to conquer the fortified city of Xingyang!"

"Uncle Qin is afraid, isn't it? You were very powerful when you assassinated Xu Rong!" Sun Ce interrupted suddenly with sarcasm.

Sun Jian turned his head and gave Sun Ce a reproachful look: "Ce'er, don't be rude! Hurry up and apologize to Tian Yu."

At this moment, Qin Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked Sun Ce loudly, "Bo Fu, what did you just say?"

"I mean, you were able to assassinate Xu Rong, that's amazing!"

"Yes, yes, how did I forget about this?" Qin Yi's eyes lit up.

Sun Jian stared at Qin Yi for a while, suddenly noticed something, and quickly asked: "Tian Yu, you don't mean to sneak into Xingyang City to assassinate Hua Xiong...it must be, Jian City is not comparable to a military camp set up on flat ground. , don't take any chances!"

Qin Yi smiled and said: "Thank you, General, for your concern. Although Qin Yi is bold, he is not conceited enough to want to assassinate others at will. I just had a flash of inspiration just now, and I just felt it."

"Did you come up with a clever plan to conquer Xingyang City?" Sun Jian asked curiously.

Qin Yi shook his head: "It's just a slight hint, and it needs to be carefully considered."

"Then...if Tianyu can think of a clever plan, he must inform Yu immediately."

"As it should be!"

"Hmph, I don't believe you're really that smart, can you still be tricky every time you fight?" Sun Ce muttered unconvinced.
