Chapter 725 Battle or Surrender

Seeing that he could fight a big battle made Huang Zhong's mood extremely comfortable.

But tonight, when he was discussing with his subordinates how to attack Yuzhou, he suddenly felt a palpitation.

This feeling made Huang Zhong stand up immediately, he immediately thought that their movements had been detected by the enemy, and it was likely that the enemy army would attack the camp tonight.

At that time, Huang Zhong ordered all his scouts to be sent out, and carefully reconnoitred several times within a radius of fifty miles.

But apart from the local people, the scouts found nothing.

As they summarized and reported the information they had gotten, Huang Zhong's brows tightened.

Although his subordinates were very sure that there were no enemy troops around them, Huang Zhong's palpitations became more and more serious.

At this time, Huang Zhong had already determined that it was possible that his relatives had an accident, but he didn't know which relative had an accident.

In addition, now that they are about to go on an expedition, even if Huang Zhong is worried about his relatives, it is impossible for him to leave his troops and rush back to Yecheng because of personal waste.

So he forcibly suppressed this feeling of palpitations, and continued to lead his generals to begin to study the terrain of Yuzhou.

After the light of day dawned the next day, Huang Zhong's palpitations quietly disappeared.

Instead, it was an inexplicable relaxation, which made Huang Zhong temporarily put his heart in his stomach.

He trusts his feelings, and he knows that the loved ones who are in trouble must be out of danger.

Now that there is no problem with his relatives, all that remains is to quickly take Yuzhou and run the entire Yuzhou like a tietong in a short period of time.

This time, his lord and son-in-law sent him to take Yuzhou, not just a simple revenge, but a deep meaning.

Yuzhou is located in the Central Plains, and it can be said that it is the place of the four wars.

And Luoyang, the capital city that represents the authority of the Han Dynasty, is in Yuzhou, as long as they can recover Yuzhou, this is equivalent to a loud declaration in front of the people of the whole world:

"The Han is not dead, the Han is still the world of the royal family surnamed Liu!"

Although this royal family surnamed Liu is not the previous one, whether it is which one occupies Yuzhou, it has an extremely special significance.

This is only the first meaning, then the second meaning is that after they take Yuzhou, they can increase the connection between Henan, Hebei, Yong, and the four states more closely.

It also poses a threat to the four prefectures of Chongzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou and Jingzhou.

In this way, even if Cao Cao of Qingzhou wants to organize a coalition army again, then the princes of these four states must also think about it.

According to the meaning of the lord, as long as they can occupy Yuzhou, then even if the princes who occupy these four states want to participate in the new alliance of princes, they will not dare to send too many troops.

Because if they send too many troops, it will cause them to have an internal defense empty.

Huang Zhong, who occupied Yuzhou, and Guan Yu, who occupied Yongzhou, could immediately attack their rule.

The strength of the Jizhou army is famous all over the world, unless those princes have really been forced into a desperate situation, otherwise they will definitely not be able to leave their own rule alone, but cooperate with Cao Cao to attack Jizhou.

This can relieve Jizhou of a lot of pressure, but occupying Yuzhou also has a certain disadvantage, that is, he is likely to face the siege of several princes.

But Huang Zhong was not afraid of this, on the contrary, he was still a little eager to try.

As long as those princes do not unite, he is confident that in a short time, he will break through those princes who are like a plate of scattered sand.

Therefore, this action can be said to be very important to Jizhou and Liu Yuan, and Huang Zhong will definitely not allow himself to make a mistake!

After planning all the offensive routes, Huang Zhong gave an order, and his 100,000 troops began to rapidly advance towards Yuzhou.

At the same time, in Luoyang City, Yuzhou, Yuan Tan was pacing back and forth angrily.

His second brother really didn't give him face as a big brother, and even sent troops to provoke him several times.

Some time ago, he broke through the three cities under his command in a row, if he hadn't reacted in time, maybe now he would have become a prisoner of his good second brother.

For such a good brother, if he can't teach him a profound lesson, then he, the eldest brother, won't he live in vain!

Thinking of this, Yuan Tan immediately found his cronies and generals Guan Tong, and he was ready to order Guan Tong to immediately gather troops and horses to retaliate against his own brother.

After receiving Yuan Tao's order, Guan Tong quickly came to Yuan Tan's mansion, and the two talked secretly in Yuan Tan's study for nearly half an hour, and then Guan Tong left Yuan Tan's mansion.

Half a day later, a team of 30,000 people drove out of Luoyang and went straight to Runan County, where Yuan Xi was entrenched.

This time, Yuan Tan was able to play all his hole cards, and handed over all the most elite 30,000 people under his command to the commander, and he made up his mind, this time he would pull out all Yuan Xi's forces!

In the first few days, Yuan Tan was still dreaming of becoming the lord of Yuzhou.

But the good times didn't last long, and less than five days after his team left, Yuan Tan suddenly received an urgent report from his subordinates.

When Yuan Tan opened the emergency report in his hand, he sat on the cushion behind him in fright, he couldn't believe that what he saw was true.

Jizhou Mu Liu Yuan was actually ready to use a knife against him, and now he has sent his general Huang Zhong to lead an army of 100,000 and enter the scope of his rule.

And at this time, Huang Zhong's troops had already taken over several cities under his rule, and even less than twenty miles away from Luoyang, and he had just gotten the news

This is still one of his subordinate generals, desperately sending the news, if it weren't for this, maybe he was still in the dark when the other side soldiers came to the city!

According to the news sent by his subordinates, at this time, Huang Zhong had already led his army and hurried towards Luoyang City, and it would only take half a day at most to surround Luoyang.

If the 30,000 horses under his command were still there, Yuan Tan might still have some thoughts of resisting, but now his men and horses have already arrived hundreds of miles away from Luoyang.

Even if he sent someone to send an order to let those 30,000 people return to help at full speed, it would take at least eight days to wait for these people to return to Luoyang.

And in these eight days, he could only use less than 10,000 people in the city to withstand Huang Zhong's 100,000 fierce attacks, which made Yuan Tan feel deep despair!

If he said that he was facing the men and horses of other princes, with a fortified city like Luoyang in hand, he would not be so desperate even if he was one against ten.

But when he thought of the Jizhou Army, which was the most powerful combat power in the world, Yuan Tan couldn't even raise the slightest desire to resist, but he was very unwilling to let him be captured.

Yuan Tan fell into silence for a while, he had to make a decision in a short time, whether this time it was to fight or surrender?
