Chapter 584: Meeting with Liu Yuan
At night, Cheng Liang, Zhu Ye, Ye Xiang and Zhao Yun were discussing matters in the commander's tent. Suddenly, the curtain of the commander's tent was lifted and the four of them walked in.
Cheng Liang and others looked up and were surprised.
"Brother, fourth brother, Boping, Military Advisor Xun, why are you here?"
"I'm paying homage to the lord!"
The visitors were Liu He, Zhang Yong, Gao Shun and Xun You.
Cheng Liang and his friends came forward to salute, and Liu He helped them up with a smile.
"Haha, they are all their own people, there is no need to be polite, just sit down."
Everyone sat down separately, and Zhu Ye asked, "I didn't expect that my elder brother would come in person. It seems that the destruction of Jizhou is just around the corner."
"Haha, then there's no need to say? The four of us brothers joined forces and were invincible, but we didn't have the second brother, otherwise we would be able to take Yuan Shao's nest tonight."
Cheng Liang seemed very excited.
Liu He smiled and said, "I got Gongda reminded me that I guessed that Yuan Shao would change his deployment and no longer divide his troops to attack, but instead concentrate all his troops in one place. Therefore, he hurriedly notified his second brother, fourth brother and Boping. As for the second brother not coming, it was because I had other arrangements with him."
Several people looked at Xun You admirably: "I often heard from the military advisor Wen Ruo mention his husband and praised him very much, saying that his husband is ten times better than him. We didn't believe him yet. When we saw him today, it was true that he was perfect and admired him."
Xun You smiled indifferently and bowed and returned the greeting: "The generals are the pillars of the country. You are just a weak scholar. Some strategies are not worth mentioning."
Cheng Liang looked at Liu He excitedly: "How many soldiers are there in my brother here? But should I prepare to advance all the way to Jizhou?"
Liu He nodded and said, "Yes, my fourth brother, Boping, and I, together, led an army of 80,000 here, and vowed to capture the entire Jizhou territory in one fell swoop. If we fail, we will never return it."
"Haha, it's still the heroic spirit of the elder brother!" Cheng Liang was so excited that he was ready to hear it.
Xun You said: "My lord, the matter of our coming to reinforcements must not be hidden from Yuan Shao. Even before today, the other party had already expected that if his subordinates had good guesses, he was afraid that Jizhou would also launch the last troops that could be used and was rushing to Huguan. The enemy and us had the same force, and the other party defended and attacked us, and Huguan was also steep. We should be careful in this battle."
Upon hearing this, Liu He took out a letter from his arms: "I have received a secret report from Feiying Guard. Last night Ju Su sent someone to Yecheng to report on what happened here. Early this morning, Yuan Shao had already dispatched himself to lead his army to aid. I guess he should have arrived at this moment."
"What? That guy Yuan Shao is here? Just in time, I will kill him directly tomorrow. Wouldn't it be worrying?"
Cheng Liang was spitting out and his whole body was extremely excited.
"Haha, my third brother is very willing to fight and can be an example for the entire army. This time, Brother Yu came here in person to capture Yuan Shao alive. For this reason, I brought over several secret weapons that I had carefully prepared for several months. These things were originally prepared to regain Luoyang in the future, but now I am just leveraging Yuan Shao's hand to try the power."
When he thought of these things, even Liu He himself couldn't help but feel eager to try it out.
"Aha, brother has a backup plan? It seems that Yuan Shao will definitely die this time." Cheng Liang shouted excitedly.
Liu He smiled and said, "But those things are transported slowly, and they will not arrive tomorrow night at the earliest. Moreover, the time when I ordered Xu Huang to counterattack Jizhou was the day after tomorrow. Yun Chang's movements would take one day. Therefore, we only need to have a feint attack tomorrow to make Yuan Shao relax a little. The next day, we cooperate with Gongming and attack with all our strength, and we can fight to the Central Plains in one battle."
"Brother/Lord, don't worry, I will obey the order."
All the generals held their fists and took the order.
Liu He said in his heart: "Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao, in order to deal with you, I have been trying hard and planning for several years. I can be worthy of you, the first-class hero of the Three Kingdoms..."
The next day, Liu He personally led a large army to rise up and arrived before Huguan.
The guards seemed to be very strict and orderly on the faces of the soldiers, and the fear and panic expressions when they fled yesterday were no longer visible. I don’t know if it was a wave of defenders or the defeated soldiers who were scolded and inspired.
Liu He looked at Chengguan and shouted: "The Han Dynasty court, General Liu He, please ask Duke Yuan to come out and speak."
Not long after, a middle-aged man with a majestic and majestic face and three beautiful beards walked to the close and looked down at Liu He. It was Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao snorted coldly: "Hmph, Liu He, you hold the emperor hostage, brutal minister, and slaughter the scholars of the world. What kind of face do you have to call yourself a general of the court?"
Liu He didn't think he was angry about his words. He knew that no matter how high-sounding words were, it would be useless at this time. In the final analysis, he would still win by relying on his strength, and the rest were nonsense.
"Mr. Yuan is really ridiculous. You are just coveting my fame and status and wanting to replace me. Since that's the case, why do you say something useless? When you fought outside Hulao Pass that day, you joined forces with the princes, and you are not my enemy. In the past two years, you have repeatedly violated me Bingzhou, and never returned in shame? Now, if you die under your command, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Lu Bu are only half of your life left. What ability can you fight with me? If you know each other and surrender, I can spare your life. Otherwise, the army will flatten the city gate and teach you the Yuan family and will be extinct from now on."
"How dare you speak wildly!"
Yuan Shao was furious when he said it, and pointed his sword at Liu He: "I have Huguan natural danger today, and I have an army of 80,000. I will decide the outcome in one battle. Who dares to fight first and kill this thief for me!"
"I'm willing to go!"
When Yuan Shao saw this person, he said happily: "Okay, Zang Ziyuan is indeed extremely courageous, so he sent you to fight."
The door was closed and a brave general rode out, pointing at Liu He with a spear in his hand.
"It's true of Guangling Zang Hong, Liu He comes to die soon!"
"Zang Hong?" Liu He felt a little familiar when he heard this name.
"Oh, I remembered that when I was transferred to the county magistrate of Lang County, the commander Zang Min was the magistrate of Taiyuan County. You and I are old acquaintances. Why did the general abandon the open and secret? He also raised an army to rebel against Dong. He should be a loyal and righteous man. If he could surrender to the court and honor his ancestors, he would be the right way."
"Bah!" Zang Hong cursed: "I have been deeply favored by Mr. Yuan, how dare I turn against each other? Look at me taking your head!"
He grabbed the war horse and thrust his spear, and stabbed directly towards Liu He's storefront.
"Zang Hong did a good job, and he was indeed unparalleled in loyalty and courage, haha!" Yuan Shao was very happy.
Seeing Zang Hong's spear come, Liu He didn't dodge, but just smiled faintly on his face, which made Zang Hong suddenly feel something was wrong.
Just as the spear stabbed Liu He a few feet ago, a long halberd suddenly swung over.
"Don't hurt my elder brother, see if I kill you."
Cheng Liang explored the Tiangang Soul Chasing Spear, and the Crescent Blade blocked Zang Hong's spear. He picked it hard and picked it away from Zang Hong's hand.
"you……"
Zang Hong was shocked and dared not fall in love with the battle. He turned around and was about to flee back to the pass.
"Where to run!"
Cheng Liangzong stepped forward and pointed it at Zang Hong's vest and stabbed it.
"ah……"
Zang Hong screamed and was stabbed by Cheng Liang.
Yuan Shao was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Who else dares to fight?"
However, most of his generals had seen the bravery of Cheng Liang and others yesterday, and knew that they would die when they left. The other few who had just followed him to Huguan were eager to try, but now they saw Zang Hong die so easily, and they all quickly huddled their heads.
"Hahahaha... Jizhou is so big that there is no brave general, he is just a timid rat. Yuan Shao, when are you not surrendering yet? Hahaha..."
Liu He laughed loudly, and Yuan Shao was so angry that his mouth was crooked.
"Get out of the seclusion, get out of the seclusion, fight to the death. Today I swear to kill this Liao!"
"Lord, no!" Ju Su hurried over and stopped him.
"Lord, our army's combat power is far inferior to that of the Bingzhou troops. Only by relying on the natural danger of Huguan can we have a chance of victory. Liu He is just a method of provoking generals. Lord must not fall into the trap."
When Yuan Shao heard this, he looked at Liu He's smile and suddenly felt trembling all over.
"That's right, thanks to Gongfu's reminder, otherwise he would have almost been deceived by this thief."
He looked at Liu He and provocatively said, "If you have the ability, you can come to attack the city. If you can capture Huguan, Yuan will naturally tie up his hands and ask for surrender. If you cannot win the battle, hum, next year and today will be your death! The archer is ready!"
Teams of crossbowmen quickly approached the city wall, and hundreds of bows and arrows were aimed at the Bingzhou army below the city gate.
Cheng Liang had been itchy for a long time: "Brother, please give me the order!"
Liu He looked at Yuan Shao and nodded: "The emperor has an order. The Yuan brothers have been eating Han Lu for a long time and do not want to serve the country. Instead, they have the intention of plotting against each other. They attack immediately, capture Yuan Shao alive, and sentence them to death, demonstrate their power, and attack!"
He shouted passionately, but after he finished shouting, he immediately lowered his head and whispered to Cheng Liang and others: "Remember what I said last night, don't kill me so hard that I broke the plan."
"Here!" The generals received the order and quickly rushed to Huguan.
"Run..."
Chapter completed!
