Chapter 183 Famous General Xu Rong
"How are Zhao Yun and the others? How far are we from Mengjin now? Have you found any traces of Xiliang iron cavalry?" Liu Xie rode on the cloud crane, followed by Yu Yunwen and Guo Jia, two military advisers, who also rode war horses. , asked the scout who was exploring the way.
"Reporting to Your Highness, General Zhao and the others rode lightly at an extremely fast speed. They have already arrived at Mengjin, and we are only half a day away from Mengjin. We haven't found any Xiliang people yet."
"Yes." Liu Xie waved his hand to signal him to go down.It has been three days since they left Hulaoguan. Liu Xie was worried that Li Ru's fake show was real, so he didn't dare to neglect, so he asked Zhao Yun to lead Bai Ma Yicong to go first, and he followed with the army as quickly as possible. .I haven't received any battle situation yet, which seems to be good news.
As for Diao Chan, after all, she is a weak female family member. Even if Liu Xie is a prince, it is not easy to specialize. After leaving Hulao Pass, they sent people to send her back to Chenliu. Calculating the time, it is estimated that it will be here by now.I just don't know how Gan Jing will react when she sees her.
Liu Xie's real headache now is the last head of the main mission. He doesn't know who the leader of the Xiliang cavalry is, and if he has a chance to kill one or two to complete the mission.Liu Xie is still looking forward to that unspecified unlimited special summon opportunity, after all, the system has not let him down so far.
The [-] troops marched faster and finally arrived at Mengjin before sunset.
Mengjin is under the jurisdiction of Sili. It faces Luoyang in the south and the Yellow River in the north. It is an important town and its strategic location is very important.Strictly speaking, Mengjin was not controlled by the princes. It was originally occupied by Dong Zhuo after he occupied Luoyang.It's just that the coalition forces of the princes were so powerful that Dong Zhuo could only shrink his troops and give up Meng Jin.
Mengjin is an important crossing in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and the coalition forces will naturally not give up this key stronghold.As soon as the war against Dong began, the coalition forces sent troops to occupy and garrison, just to prevent Dong Zhuo from going south from Mengjin and taking a detour to cut off the connection between the army and the eastern states.
Zhao Yun's Baima Yicong did not enter the city, but set up a camp on the plain not far from Mengjin, and they competed with Mengjin.Once the cavalry entered the city, they lost the advantage of charging, and their combat power was actually not much stronger than that of the elite infantry.Zhao Yun obviously knew this very well.
Liu Xie didn't have so many worries, and directly took over Meng Jin and led his army into the city to set up camp.
The first thing Liu Xie did after arriving at Mengjin was to send out scouts to inquire about information.Han Xuanzhou's Xuanjing Division does not have many advantages in this aspect, and the focus of Xuanjing Division's development is not here.
Liu Xie immediately summoned the generals to discuss matters again, and Zhao Yun was now reluctantly under his command. Liu Xie sent someone to inform him as a courtesy, but Zhao Yun rushed to attend without any hesitation.
"Now Gu has sent scouts everywhere to look for traces of the Xiliang cavalry. It is really strange. Logically speaking, with their marching speed, they should have arrived at Mengjin. However, after asking the people nearby, they all said that they had not seen any trace of the cavalry. I can't let go, there must be some fraud involved!" Liu Xie said seriously to everyone.
"If we knew who their commander-in-chief was, we wouldn't be so passive. We could easily guess his plans and intentions based on his character and military habits," Guo Jia said.Like Yu Yunwen, he is the best at observing people's hearts, and he is used to predicting the enemy's opportunities based on the commander's combat style and solving problems in a targeted manner.
"It's not difficult to know this." Liu Xie was reminded by him, looked at Han Kanzhou, and asked: "Jie Fu, are there any famous Xiliang generals in Hulao Pass who have disappeared recently?"
Han Guanzhou cupped his hands and replied: "Except for the two generals Duan Xuan and Niu Fu of the Xiliang Army who stayed in Luoyang, the other generals went to Hulao Pass to resist the coalition forces. The one who has suddenly disappeared these days should be Xu Rong."
"Xu Rong, it's him!" Liu Xie was shocked in his heart, and suddenly felt that this battle might not be as simple as he imagined.
Xu Rong in history was not as described in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but a third-rate general who was beheaded by Xia Houdun after a few rounds.
Xu Rong's record is jaw-dropping. He has defeated Sun Jian and Cao Cao successively, and it was not an ambush by soldiers. Both times were encounters, and both times were big victories!
Liu Xie even felt that he should be the only general under Dong Zhuo's command who could really lead the army in battle. He didn't expect it to be him this time, no wonder he was confused when he came up.
I thought Li Ru was just cooperating with me in a play, but I didn't expect that this guy was actually serious about it.Liu Xie felt very sad. There was really no easy person among the counselors in ancient times.
"Xu Rong, I've heard of this man too. He may only be second-rate in terms of military force, but he is extremely talented in commanding troops. He is also one of the best generals in commanding troops in the Xiliang army. It's just because he is not reused by Dong Zhuo that he can't compare to his son-in-law's cronies such as Niu Fu. , so his reputation is not prominent and his status is not high. The fact that he is able to lead an army this time is probably due to Li Ru's recommendation." Yu Yunwen said slowly.
"Xu Rong has always been bold and unexpected in his use of troops. Our task this time is no easier than that of the coalition forces." Liu Xie sighed.
"Actually, it's not difficult to defeat him." Guo Jia looked relaxed and said: "This time our purpose is to organize Xu Rong to go south to invade the grain road. We don't really want to find him and defeat him. We just need to If you defend Mengjin firmly and arrange the defense line well, you will win before fighting, at least you will be invincible."
"Xu Rong led the army to hide and hide at this time. Most of the time, he wanted to make us mess up and make mistakes in the chaos. We blindly sent troops out to find where his army is. Once we divide our troops a little, he will have a chance to seize the opportunity to defeat them one by one. And we Now, it's just a matter of defending."
"He has [-] cavalry, and the consumption of food and grass is a huge problem. He will definitely not be able to hold back and jump out on his own. Taking a step back, if he really brings enough food, grass and luggage, he can endure and hide for a long time, but as long as he can't By breaking through our defenses and heading south to invade the grain road, this battle can still be considered a victory for us."
He truly lives up to his reputation as a genius!Guo Jia didn't know Xu Rong before, but now he just heard Liu Xie and Yu Yunwen say a few words, and he immediately knew what Xu Rong was thinking, saw through the deadlock, and had a countermeasure, which is really scary!
Zhao Yun was also shocked, not only because of Guo Jia's wisdom, but also because of Liu Xie's ability to investigate intelligence and the powerful group of generals and officials.
He knew that Liu Xie had made his fortune from nothing just by virtue of his identity as King Chenliu. There was no way that so many talents would come to invest just because of his identity.I am afraid that King Chen Liu is the most powerful person among everyone here.
