Chapter 478

In order to attack Luoyang, Chen Gong also prepared to contact Zhang Yang and Yuan Shu for Lu Bujun. Zhang Yang made friends with Lu Bu's fellow countrymen. He would certainly send troops to help Lu Bu's request. As far as Yuan Shu and Yuan Gaolu were concerned, although he was the third Duke of the fourth generation, he was extravagant and paid more attention to interests than justice. Chen Gong missed that he only needed to pay more attention to interests. He said that Lu Bu's army had no way to go. He wanted to take Luoyang as a meeting gift to join him. He asked Yuan Shu to send troops to help him. I believe that Yuan Shu would send troops .

In addition, during his stay in Luoyang, Chen Gong has learned that Luoyang has formed an alliance with Yuzhou Kongyu, Jizhou Hanfu and Chen liuzhang Miao. Therefore, in order to deal with the possibility that these allies may send troops to help, Chen Gong also plans to ask Zhang Yang and Yuan Shu to cooperate with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao respectively. He will ask these two troops to garrison the border and make a troop deployment. I believe Luoyang's allies I dare not send troops to help. In this way, Luoyang can almost be said to be captured by hand. This is the reason why Lv Bu and his generals did not hesitate to agree with Chen Gong's plan, because in their view, Chen Gong's plan was perfect, and even Zhang Liao admired it.

Now that it has been agreed, the Lvbu army will act in accordance with the prior arrangement immediately after the discussion. Wei Xu, the general of Zhongying, was the general of Tongguan. Hou Cheng, the vice general, and Xu Si joined the army. They led 10000 soldiers and 5000 cavalry to guard Tongguan. The other soldiers led by Lu Bu were the vanguard of Bingzhou Langqi, and Zhang Liao, the general of Zhongying, led the guard of 5000 soldiers. Then they went straight to Hu County. Because they were blocked by Tongguan, Hongnong didn't know the news of Lu Bu's rebellion. So all the way, Lu Bu's army entered the city pass smoothly, and then controlled the officials and generals with lightning speed After that, they occupied the city. The same is true of Hu County. After Lu Bu's army conquered Hu County, a general led two thousand soldiers to guard the county and the families, while other generals led the army to Hongnong city.

Unfortunately, Hongnong Zhang Ji, out of caution, did not let Lv Bu's army into the city. Instead, he refused to let Lv Bu's army into the city on the ground that he had not received an order from Chang'an. Although Lu Bu was angry, he had no choice but to prepare for the second plan of Chen palace. Twenty thousand Bingzhou wolves were cruising outside Hongnong City, while Zhang Liao led eight thousand soldiers and five thousand cavalry continued to march towards Shanxian County. The next day, when Zhang Ji received the news from Chang'an by water, he found out that Lv Bu had betrayed the grand master and led the army to flee. However, he was puzzled by Dong Zhuo's order that Zhang Ji abandon the three cities of Shanxian County. Finally, Zhang Ji understood Li Ru's strategy of driving wolves and swallowing tigers under Jia Xu's explanation.

It's a pity that now Lvbu has 20000 wolf riders cruising outside the city. It's too late for Zhang Ji to withdraw the taxi soldiers from the three counties, because there are only 10000 cavalry in Hongnong City, but the Lvbu army outside the city has 20000 wolf riders. Coupled with Lvbu's prestige in the Xiliang Army, Jia Xu is also a skillful woman. It's hard to make a meal without rice.

In the name of the imperial division's military order to reinforce Hongnong, Zhang Liao's army made no effort to pass Shanxian County, Jianchi County, qinhanguguan county and Xin'an County, resulting in a total of 20000 troops and more than 100000 grains. Zhang Liao placed his troops and horses in Hanguguan and Xin'an of Qin Dynasty, and handed over all the affairs to Chen Gong for management. He went to Hongnong, took ten thousand Bingzhou wolf riders from Lv Bu, and went to Tongguan to meet Wei Xu's soldiers and horses and the families of Hu County. Therefore, all the soldiers and horses retreated to Xin'an County, because Lv Bu didn't want to occupy Hongnong, so there was no need to guard each county .

In addition, the only elite in Lv Bu's hands is the 25000 wolf cavalry in Bingzhou. As for the soldiers and horses gathered from each city pass behind, they are only junior soldiers. Therefore, instead of occupying those counties and always being wary of Chang'an and Hongnong's soldiers and horses, it's better to concentrate all the soldiers and horses in qinhangu pass and Xin'an County town. When they are ready, they will attack the Han Dynasty under the control of Luoyang Hangu pass.

One month later, Lv Bu's army finally concentrated in Hangu pass of Qin Dynasty and Xin'an County. After these two months of fighting, Lv Bu's army lost 5000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry in Chang'an, and eight city passes to the east of Chang'an added 45000 troops, including 10000 ordinary cavalry and 35000 infantry. Although all of them were junior soldiers, they greatly strengthened Lv Bu's strength. In addition, Lv Bu had 70000 troops, which made Chen Gong and Lv Bu's army full of confidence in attacking Luoyang.

After the concentration of Lu Bu's army, he did not attack Han Hangu pass in Luoyang immediately. On the contrary, he reorganized his troops at the suggestion of Chen Gong. Of course, Lv Bu led the 25000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry. Zhang Liao was appointed as the chief General of the 14000 cavalry. Wei Xu took the post of Zhongying general to command 15000 soldiers, while the captains Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Hao Yin and Cheng Lian took charge of 5000 soldiers respectively. Lv Bu ordered the troops to reorganize for one month, and the army attacked hanhangu at the end of September and the beginning of October Off.

As for why the time was arranged one month later, the 35000 soldiers in Lu Bu's army were all junior arms. So the troops, let alone attacking the medium-sized pass like Hangu pass, were unable to attack the ordinary County town. Therefore, Lu Bu had to arrange to reorganize one month later and attack again. Although Hongnong was short of food and grass, the food and grass of 70000 troops for two or three months was more than enough. The most important reason is that Chen Gong's envoys have not yet set out to find an ally for Lu Bu, let alone prepared for it.

After everything was arranged, Chen Gong and Lv Bu negotiated to send Xu Si as an envoy to Yuan Shu, while Zhang Yang was sent by Chen Gong himself. On the one hand, Chen Gong wanted to send troops. On the other hand, Chen Gong wanted to buy some food from Zhang Yang. You know, LV Bu's army only had enough food for two months, and Hongnong is now recovering, It's almost impossible to get more food from here. After Chen Gong and Xu Si left, Lv Bu led the generals to act according to the established plan, waiting for the two princes to reply.Since Lv Bu entered Hongnong, Huangfu Chaobo was shocked three times in a day. He thought there would be a big war between Zhang Ji and Lv Bu. He didn't expect that Zhang Ji's army would stay in Hongnong city like a turtle, and let Lv Bu's army sweep several counties of Hongnong. Then, after Lv Bu gathered the army of several counties in Hongnong, he stayed in several counties of Xin'an Strider pool There was no movement inside. For this move, even Tian Feng was not able to guess what Lu Bu's move meant.
