Uncle, please help the Han family

Facing the compliments from the three of them, Liu Yu did not appear overly happy, on the contrary he showed an embarrassed smile: "Neihan, you don't really think Yuan Shu can win?"

…………

"General, Yuan Shu has been defeated!"

To the north of Hongnong County, in a large forest thirty miles away, more than 1 cavalry were hiding, and the leader of this cavalry was none other than the leader of the White Horse Yicong, Gongsun Zan.

"How did you lose?"

Gongsun Zan was not at all surprised to hear this news, because her lord specifically emphasized to her——

Yuan Shu doesn't know how to fight. If he goes there, he will die. Even if there are people under his command, he won't be able to use it. Believe me, he will definitely not make a trip in vain. Absolutely.

And Gongsun Zan himself actually looked down on Yuan Shu quite a bit.

After all, her "King of the Northern Territory" was won in one battle after another, and Yuan Shu, the prefect of Nanyang, was picked up for nothing because of her too arrogant family background.

In terms of real achievements, you, Yuan Shu, can't compare to a single hair of my Gongsun Zan.

"Return to the general! Dong Jun feigned defeat, Yuan Shu rushed forward easily, and then was ambushed in the valley, losing troops and losing generals. At this time, he is evacuating to the small county in the west!" The scout reported earnestly.

"Sure enough, as my lord predicted, Yuan Shu was easily fooled."

With a sneer, Gongsun Zan was completely convinced by Yuan Shu.

"Also..." The scout continued to report after thinking for a while, "I don't know if I read it wrong. It seems that Sun Jian's army and Yuan Shu's army are out of touch. At present, it is mainly Sun Jian's cavalry who are being pursued."

"Out of touch? Are you sure you're not the Empress?" Tian Chou said inexplicably.

"According to the observation under the mark..." Although it felt outrageous, the scout had to admit, "Yuan Shujun didn't divide into the front, middle and rear armies, so... no one was in the rear."

"???"

Tian Chou asked a series of question marks, and looked at Gongsun Zan in a very puzzled manner.

"..."

And Gongsun Zan also frowned, not quite sure what the hell she was doing.

Of course, this kind of thing is not within the scope of her thinking.

The corner of his mouth curved slightly, and he slowly pulled out the saber at his waist. Gongsun Zan showed the same smile as Boan: "My lord has an order—whether Yuan Shu lives or dies, take advantage of the situation to take down Hongnong."

Chapter 190 The Skeleton King's Defensive Moment

"General, Yuan Shu has retreated into Hu County!"

"Hu County..." Li Jue, who was sitting on the horseback, began to think seriously, "I remember that the county's city is only five feet long, and the city's radius is less than four miles, which is big enough to hold ten thousand people. She is sure to hide there ?”

Hu County is indeed a city, but because the strategic value is too low, basically no one pays attention to it. After all, all the defenders in the city add up to only a hundred people.

Moreover, these hundred people are not considered a combat force, at best they are a rest station for scouting soldiers to rest.

It can be said that no warlord will regard this city as a base for supporting troops.

Because its defense system is too poor, a typical small town that is easy to attack and difficult to defend.

"However, most of our troops are cavalry. Even such a small town will be difficult to conquer for a while." Li Su said seriously considering the actual situation.

"It is indeed difficult for cavalry to attack the city, but you underestimate the Xiliang iron cavalry." Li Jue smiled disdainfully, and then proceeded confidently towards the small city of Hu County.

"General, more than 1 enemies have been killed in this battle. In my humble opinion, our army only needs to clean up the scattered remnants. It's not good to be so obsessed with wiping out the enemy army..." Seeing the sky At night, Li Su felt a little bit of retreat, "Why don't we send thousands of soldiers to station along the river, so that Yuan Shu's fleet can't pick up, and limit the bandit army here, how about?"

After all, this battle was a big victory, and Yuan Shu's army was completely damaged. This guy was no longer able to covet Hongnong, let alone surprise Luoyang.

At this time, the troops she possessed were no more than [-], and more than half of the food and grass were lost on the way to escape, and the general was even more alienated.At this time, even if she is let go, it will not be able to pose too much threat to Dong Jun. It is better to stop in time and focus on defense.

"..."

Li Su's twittering made Li Jue very disappointed, so he clicked his tongue, looked at him, and asked impatiently, "Do you think I'm a greedy and brainless guy like Yuan Shu?"

"I don't dare." Li Su waved his hand, and quickly denied, "The general is ten times better than Yuan Shu in terms of ability and resourcefulness."

"...Okay, then tell me, what are you worried about?"

Even after Li Su complimented him like this, Li Jue couldn't continue to be arbitrary, so he stopped his horse and looked at him solemnly, hoping that this guy could give him a convincing explanation.

So strong that he was willing to give up chasing this Second Miss of the Yuan family who was like a dead bone in a tomb.

"..." Li Su slowly clasped his hands together. After a long time of contemplation, he finally expressed his worries, "General. The Hongnong County guards are used as bait, and the Xiliang iron cavalry ambushed. Thousands of cavalry are being used on the marching road to confuse Yuan Shu, so here comes the question—how many people are there in Hongnong City?"

"..."

This question made Li Jue speechless on the spot.

"2000 people." Li Su asked himself and answered, "There are only [-] defenders left in the entire Hongnong County, and they are still motley troops with not very good combat effectiveness."

"But the Sishuiguan bandit army is hundreds of miles away, and Yuan Shu's army is all in the small Hu County." After being pointed out this question, Li Jue was very excited, "Could it be possible that Yuan Shu descended from the sky An army took Hongnong?"

"It's impossible...there can only be rain and snow in the sky." Li Su shook his head and joked with a flattering smile.

"What's there to be afraid of? Timid!"

"Uh... Logically speaking, unless there is an army that has been sneaking around since Yuan Shu left, it is impossible to pose a threat to our Hongnong County." After being scolded for being timid, Li Su also became cautious in his words, "It is true , it is indeed impossible that a large army is approaching us, but we cannot get any information."

"Then what a fart!"

"Uh, I'm just worried..."

"I understand, I understand." Li Jue finally understood Li Su's thoughts, so he sneered ruthlessly, "You are afraid of accidents, so even if you miss the opportunity, you are not willing to rush in easily, right?"

"..." At this point, Li Su looked away in embarrassment.

Li Jue was right, he was just afraid of taking responsibility.

For him, the credit has already been earned, why not take what he has already earned?

The wisdom of officialdom is the wisdom of the mean.

I'd rather do nothing than make a mistake.

"Okay, I'll call you 5000 people and go back to garrison Hongnong County. I'll go and take Yuan Shu down. Is this the head office?"

Li Jue is the main player in this line, if he can maximize the results of the battle, why not try it?

What's more, he also knew that Liu Yuli had issued a military order - if he couldn't win Sishui Pass within [-] days, he would directly abdicate.

Therefore, he is the most anxious person now.

It was enough for that guy to take down Sishuiguan, how could he divide his troops to help Yuan Shu, a competitor?

"This is very good, very good." When Li Jue made such a decision, Li Su breathed a sigh of relief.

Before, it was because he didn't stop Hu Zhen and let him rush forward easily, which led to a big victory.

As a member of the army, he was responsible for that defeat. If he lost another city now, Dong Zhuo would definitely not forgive himself.

Be safe, be safe.

"Then go back and defend the city, I'm going to fight the enemy!"

Li Jue waved his hands unhappily, and after saying something strange, he continued to lead his troops towards Hu County.

And Li Su, with an army of [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, turned back to Hongnong County in the direction he came.

To be honest, he chose to return to the city to garrison not only because he was worried about being stolen from his lair.

The intensity of this war was also the reason why he retreated.

Originally thought that as long as the ambush was completed against the bandits, they could be wiped out easily, but the actual situation was not the case.

Sun Jian is too strong.

When he heard the loud bang called 'Heaven and Earth Cracked', he was completely stunned, and he couldn't believe that this was something a human could do, especially a man.

Even Li Jue might not be able to deal with such a powerful guy.

Instead of continuing to chase Yuan Shu, driving the rabbit to a dead end, and being bitten back, it is better to stay in Hongnong County with its high walls and thick walls.

After all, this is the safest place for Dong Jun, even Sishuiguan cannot compare with Luoyang.

Why?

The corner of his mouth curled into a sly arc. Li Su, who had always been regarded as 'cowardly and moderate', looked westward with a smile.

Over there, but Yong Liang.

"March faster, don't dawdle!"

In order to return to the city as quickly as possible, so as to avoid some accidents with extremely low probability, Li Su marched quickly.

Then, within an hour and a half, the 5000 people returned to Hongnong County City.

"Although there are only 2000 people, it is a fortified city after all. Those defeated soldiers should not have the guts to attack here."

When he saw the torches for lighting on the city and the familiar flags, Li Su was completely relaxed.

Send two soldiers to approach the guards and prepare to enter the city.

However, to his surprise, the city gate was slowly lowered without even correcting the 'password'.

"These guys are really not vigilant, so let's let them go? What if I'm a thief pretending to be?"

Their behavior made Li Su feel very uncomfortable, and even wanted to hold the sheriff and general of the city accountable.

But he was very tired now, his legs were as heavy as if they had been filled with mud, and he didn't want to worry about these crap anymore.

So, after lightly whipping the mount with a whip, he followed the vanguard and walked into the city.

"... Beast! Why don't you move?"

For some reason, the horse under his crotch suddenly refused to obey the order, and after the whip fell, he reacted in resistance.

Li Su was displeased, so he whipped the mount more vigorously, and it walked forward with great reluctance.

"It's just that this plan...should have no chance to be implemented."

The matter of the horse didn't make Li Su take it to heart. He was thinking that at the time of the great war, it would be enough to occupy the city of Hongnong County and wait for the war situation to change.

If there is nothing wrong, recommend yourself to Dong Zhuo as the prefect of Hongnong, responsible for the defense of the western front.

If Luoyang fell, he would quickly return to Xiliang with his army and take over Dong Zhuo's position as the lord of Xiliang.

Anyway, it's all worth it.

But judging from the current situation, Li Jue defeated Yuan Shu on the western front, and Sishui Pass has been stalemate for a long time, so the situation has become very clear.

As long as the coalition forces of the princes collapse on their own, they should be able to return to Luoyang and become masters.

Of course, that's for the best.

"Finally entered the city and came back alive..."

The moment he stepped into the city gate, Li Su let out such a genuine sigh.

But soon, he couldn't sigh anymore.

Because of the bang, the city gate was suddenly closed.

Ordinary closing is of course nothing.

but……

More than half of my army has yet to come in!

No, to be precise, more than [-]% of the army is still outside, and even less than a thousand people have entered the city.

"...What about you generals, haven't you seen that the army hasn't come in yet!"

Holding the rein tightly, staying in place vigilantly, Li Su turned his head and yelled loudly at the top of the city.

Although the voice of shouting is loud, the momentum is not enough.

It can even be said that the voice is full of tension and fear.

Just when Li Su was uneasy, torches were raised one after another on the walls in all directions.

Nearly a thousand archers drew their bows to their fullest and aimed at him and his army.

At this time, a black-haired woman in silver armor came out slowly, and threw a black object at his feet with a sneer.

Li Su took a closer look and found that this person was the prefect of this city!
