Chapter 980: Capturing Nanyang Three
"It's too fast, and the shepherd's movements are a little too fast, how can this be?" In the Taishou Mansion in Wancheng, a middle-aged man looked at the battle report in his hand, his face was pale.
The middle-aged man's name is Huangfu Yin, Huangfu Song's brother, the son of Huangfu Song's uncle Huang Fu Gui, although his ability is not as good as Huang Fu Song, but he is also slightly famous in Huang Fu's family, familiar with military strategy, and understands government affairs.
Huangfu Song led the Guanzhong army to fight against Yuan Shu, but Nanyang is his current base, so he naturally has to stay behind, so he left the Huangfu seal of his lineage.
But I didn't expect a good news to come from the front, Huangfu Song broke through Shouchun, but the pastoral army over there blatantly made a move on Nanyang, although Huangfu Yin tried his best to stabilize the situation, but in half a month, the entire southern part of Nanyang, more than ten cities, has been lost.
Even the dancing yin was lost.
You must know that Wuyin is the link between Nanyang and Runan, and it is the back road for the Guanzhong Army to return, and the loss of Wuyin makes the Guanzhong Army definitely fall into a passivity.
This made Huangfu Yin anxious.
"Someone!"
"In!"
"Is there any news from General Huangfu coming back?" Huangfu Yin asked this question again every day.
From the first day of the pastoral army, he urgently passed the news to Huangfu Song, hoping that Huangfu Song would return with his army and respond to Nanyang, but when the news came out, it was like a stone falling into the sea, and he never returned, without any response.
"Nope!" The guard said.
"Send me another secret letter out, this time, let them take a detour, enter Jiujiang from Jingzhou, don't go to Runan, no matter how difficult it is, be sure to let them personally hand it over to General Huangfu, and tell General Huangfu that Nanyang is in danger and can't hold on for long!" Huangfu Yin gritted his teeth and wrote a secret letter, which was passed out again. This is already the fifth letter asking for help, and he is afraid that the Runan army will be in turmoil, and the news has not been able to reach Huangfu Song's hands.
According to him, a powerful pastoral army is now stationed in Runan.
"Invite Zhou Song for me!"
"No!"
In less than half an hour, a young man, under the leadership of his personal guards, entered the main hall of the Taishou Mansion, he knelt down and bowed his hands, and saluted: "The last general, Zhou Song, meet Lord Taishou!" β
"Zhonglu, can we send troops to recapture Wuyin?"
Huangfu Yin asked with a straight color.
"Lord Taishou, the current main force of the pastoral army, less than twenty miles away from our Wancheng, just across the south to gather, once they go north, we must defend Wancheng, but we can divide the troops and dance Yin, it will inevitably make Wancheng unable to defend!"
This young man named Zhou Song is the captain of a battalion under the command of the Guanzhong Army, the chief general responsible for defending Wancheng, only about twenty-five or sixteen years old, he is not tall when he grows up, and his physique is ordinary, but his martial arts are very good.
A son of the Zhou family of the Guanzhong family.
There are dozens of families in Guanzhong, all over the counties and counties in Guanzhong, not only a few big families have talents, some small families have accumulated over the years, and there will be one or two talents who have accumulated a lot of money.
Zhou Song is not outstanding under the Huangfu Song Gate, but he has a little more advantages than other generals, tenacious and steady, he is good at guarding, once in the Guanzhong Army's military exercises, he relied on a part of the soldiers and horses, blocked the attack of a battalion led by Huangfu Song himself.
As a result, he was directly promoted by Huangfu Song to the captain of the seventh battalion of the Guanzhong Army.
The seventh battalion of the Guanzhong Army, it is estimated that there are only more than 100 young people in Guanzhong, and most of the rest are from Nanyang, but Zhou Song is good at treating soldiers, and the relationship between him and the soldiers is very stable, but he is not afraid of them backlash.
"Yizhen handed over Nanyang to me, but I didn't expect that I would lose it so quickly!"
Huangfu Yin became more and more anxious.
"Lord Taishou, I think that the enemy's attack with such fanfare is to lure us to attack, as long as we attack, with our current strength of less than 3,000 troops, it is easy to be sniped!"
Zhou Song said in a low voice: "Once even Wancheng is lost, then our Guanzhong Army will have no foothold!" β
"What about Wuyin?"
In other places, Huangfuyin is not in a hurry, but Wuyin, that is the back road of the Guanzhong Army, once the Guanzhong Army retreats to Nanyang, but is blocked in Wuyin, it will be troublesome, the key is that Wuyin is captured by the herdsman, then Nanyang will lose the logistical support of the Guanzhong Army.
The Guanzhong army now has as many as 20,000 troops, and once it loses logistics, the consequences will be very serious.
"I believe in General Huangfu!" Zhou Song arched his hand and said: "The edict left by General Huangfu to us is to let us hold Wancheng as much as possible, as long as we hold Wancheng, we can defend Nanyang!" β
"That's good!"
Huangfu Yin gritted his teeth, he also knew now that he didn't talk too much, once Wancheng couldn't be saved, it would be a big problem.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Yuzhou, Xu County.
Outside the outskirts of the city.
Patches of camp tents were covered, and flags were flying in the wind, and the tallest and largest flags were embroidered with a word, Lu.
This is the camp of Wenhou LΓΌbu.
"Huangfu Song!"
In the main tent of the camp, Lu Bu's tiger eyes were awe-inspiring, looking at the news sent back from the front line, his eyes became more and more cold: "You are guarding against me!" β
Everyone knows that the state army is camped in Yuzhou.
Originally, it could have been seen that they were both defeated, and they were considering whether to send troops south.
But who would have thought that Huangfu Song's guy, the strange soldiers broke in, one day into Jiujiang, three days of Pingshouchun, so that he couldn't react a little, and now he wants to send troops, he feels a little too late.
The point is that he knows that Zhang Liao is in Runan.
He and Zhang Liao, both from Bingzhou, were both generals under Ding Yuan back then, they used to be like brothers, they knew the roots, he wanted to go south, and the first person to face it must be Zhang Liao.
"Prince!"
Cao Xing walked in from the outside, arched his hand and said, "Nanyang has another recital report!" β
"Take it and take a look!"
"Yes!"
Cao Xuan handed the report to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu looked at it carefully, frowning: "Why is it so fast?" β
According to the news, the herdsmen have captured most of the cities in the south of Nanyang and can come to Wancheng at any time.
Nanyang is not only a meal on the plate of the pastoral army, but also the ambition of the imperial court, originally wanted to wait for the main force of Huangfu Song to be cleaned up, and then take Nanyang lightly, but the sudden dispatch of the pastoral army made him a little surprised, but he didn't care, he wanted to wait until the pastoral army consumed some of the main force in Nanyang and intervened in the battlefield.
But now, in just half a month, the pastoral army has taken half of Nanyang, and he suddenly can't sit still.
"Send the scouts out again, keep an eye on Nanyang, and report any news immediately!"
"No!"
Cao Xuan took the order and left.
"Gao Shun!"
"In!" Gao Shun, the main general of the trapping camp, is also Lu Bu's deputy general, and Lu Bu's most trusted general.
"Immediately beat the drums and raise troops, I am ready to go south!"
"Now?"
"Can't wait!"
"But Dong Taishi's troops are not in place, and if you fight, it will be equivalent to consuming the state army and consuming your troops!"
"I know!" Lu Budao: "Dong Zhuo has always been proud of himself, he thinks that he can lower anyone, and he may not be able to guard against me, but Li Wenyou will definitely guard against me, he wants to consume the main force of the state under my command, it's not a matter of a day or two!" β
"Then you can't wait to march?"
"The more this is the case, the more I have to tell Dong Zhuo that my loyal servant to him, without Dong Zhuo's trust, it is impossible for me to stand in this Taishi Mansion!" Lu Bu said in a deep voice.
"Aren't you ready to accept Wang Yun's solicitation?" Gao Shun squinted.
No one knows about this, only Gao Shun knows.
"That's also in the future, before that, I must get Dong Zhuo's complete trust, otherwise, I can't do anything!" Lu Bu's tiger eyes flickered, and a ray of ambition flashed.
"If you have an idea in your heart, I'll prepare now, give me three hours to be time, and the vanguard army can go south first and enter Nanyang as soon as possible!"
Gao Shun thought for a moment, gave up his order, and then turned to leave.
"This time, our opponent is not only the Guanzhong Army, but also the Mu Army, Wen Yuan is in Runan, he may kill a horse pistol, and when the time comes, what are you going to do?" Lu Bu suddenly spoke.
"On the battlefield, there is no choice!" Gao Shun stopped for a moment, did not look back, but told Lu Bu very directly: "Either he dies, or we die, how can there be a turning back arrow when you open the bow!" β
"We grew up together, and we really didn't want to get to this point!"
Lu Bu said with some emotion.
He could only say this in front of Gao Shun, and in his heart, Gao Shun was the only person he cared about and trusted.
"You have your ambitions, he has his choices, I have my insistence, from the day we break up, it is inevitable that we will encounter a day of life and death in the future!" Gao Shun strode out of the meteor: "If I don't have a choice, I will try my best to fight, whether it is to kill him or be beheaded by him, I don't regret it!" β
"After so many years, I haven't competed, and I'm really a little ready to move!"
Lu Bu smiled: "Wenyuan, I hope I don't meet you, otherwise, we really have to have a good fight!" β
