Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 424 Using Soldiers to the Huns
"The shepherd is dead, is this news true?" Many people in the Kanto princes are questioning the news from the capital.

"I'm afraid it's true. This is the news from Wang Situ. Wang Situ is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. How could he deceive us!"

Someone analyzed it carefully and said: "And at this critical moment, the troops under the herdsmen withdrew their troops. You must know that they have captured most of Yongqiu. It only takes a few days to break into the city. At that time, we will be defeated, and the land of Yongqiu will be bloody, and there will be no chickens or dogs left. Since the winning ticket is in their hands, why should they go to such lengths to confuse us with such news, so I think, something must happen to the shepherd thief, and they will be killed. Force the Mu Clan's rebels to withdraw and leave!"

"That makes sense!"

"The shepherd thief is dead, God bless the man!"

"Hahaha, we have won this battle!"

"we won!"

"Those who have gained the Tao will be helped a lot, but those who have lost the way will be given little help. The shepherds have turned the world upside down and acted in the opposite direction. They deserve to die long ago. Today, the Xiliang army abandoned the dark and turned to the bright, which is also a great achievement!"

"..."

At this moment, countless princes let out excited cries.

During this period of time, they aggressively attacked Sishuiguan, but experienced successive defeats on the northern front, then rout on the southern front, and finally they were killed in a counterattack. They were defeated in a row. Almost broke.

Now the Mu family is defeated without a fight.

It was a fluke for them.

They are the allied army to crusade against the herd thieves, and they represent the justice of the world. Naturally, they don't have the slightest burden to take the credit for the allied army.

"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!"

"If the fight continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to support it anymore!"

Many princes also secretly let out a sigh of relief.

"Although Mu Shan is dead, the Mu Clan's rebels are still strong. No matter what, they must not be allowed to withdraw so smoothly. We must pursue them!" Yuan Shao and Cao Cao exchanged glances, and they reached a consensus in an instant.

"But now our coalition forces are seriously injured, how can we organize our troops to pursue them?"

Han Fu, governor of Jizhou, frowned, and said in a low voice, "Besides, the shepherd is dead, so they probably won't be able to make any waves!"

He doesn't want to fight anymore.

Losing one of the titans, the Jizhou army also suffered heavy casualties in this battle. This is his capital to check and balance Jizhou.

"No!"

Cao Cao said firmly: "Mr. Han, although the herding thief is dead, the Mulongtu is still there. This little thief has done many evils, is sinister and vicious, and is even more terrifying than his father. We must not let this person escape, otherwise we will kill him." I am afraid that there will be a difficult day in the future!"

In his mind, Mujing is more threatening than Mushan.

He couldn't let this bane stay.

But he is also very clear that the morale of the current coalition forces is actually very low, and all the princes want to preserve their strength. If no one comes forward, it is impossible for soldiers and horses to dare to pursue them.

"Although the Mu Clan's rebels have temporarily retreated, I think they still have a lot of strength. They should not be underestimated. Even if they pursue them, they must be careful!"

A prince objected to the pursuit.

"Leader, I am willing to be the vanguard and lead my troops to pursue!"

Cao Cao begged for his life, and he decided to kill the grass and roots, and wanted to keep Mu Longtu's life at any cost.

"allow!"

Yuan Shao nodded pretendingly.

"Mu Shan is dead, and Mu Longtu withdraws his troops, and he will fight with the Xiliang army to the death!" Yuan Shu's eyes turned, and his thoughts also turned quickly, and he whispered to Yang Hong beside him: "Hurry up and pass the news to him!" Sun Wentai, let Ji Ling lead the army to reinforce the Jiangdong Army, and counterattack from the southern front, it is best to break through Luoyang City first!"

He stood still before, but with the Jiangdong Army as the main force charging forward, no one dared to say that he was wrong. Even if the Kwantung Allied Forces were oppressed to a desperate situation, he did not use the most elite Runan Army under his command.

But it is different now.

When the opportunity came, he had to seize it.

Mu's army and Xiliang were fighting among themselves, this was a good time for him to fish in troubled waters.

Those who enter Luoyang first.

For the king also!
"promise!"

Yang Hong took the order and left.

……

……

Chenliu County.

The Violent Bear Army, the Southern Army, the Baibo Army, the Jingping Army, and the Hun Cavalry, a total of five troops stationed inside and outside the city.

It took two full days for the army to withdraw from Yongqiu.

Breaking in is not easy.

Withdrawal is also difficult.

Even if they don't have to cover up the news and make the soup boil, they can act generously, but when withdrawing troops, they still need to guard against their exposed belly and back to prevent being beaten into the water.

So it took them a lot of time to completely withdraw the army to Chenliu County.

"It's thousands of miles away from Chenliu to return to the capital. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for us to march!"

Looking at the marching maps, Xi Zhicai had already conceived a lot of disgust in his heart, but in such a situation, it was difficult for him to make the army come to Luoyang smoothly.

We must know that the Kwantung Allied Forces were half disabled.

But the strength of the coalition forces still exists.

If they chased them from behind at this time, they would have to divide their troops to deal with it.

"So we're going to fight!"

Mu Jing was very calm at this time.

There was hatred in his heart, supporting his calmness.

"The news cannot be hidden. The news of our withdrawal cannot be hidden. Similarly, the news of my father's death in Luoyang cannot be hidden. The Kwantung Allied Forces have many entanglements with the officials of the imperial court. I am afraid that many people will turn to them, so the news It is only a matter of time before it reaches them!"

He has already thought of a safe way to withdraw his troops: "Once they react, they will definitely pursue them!"

"My lord, the Kwantung Alliance Army has been defeated by us. Even if they know about our lord, our troops are still superior to them. I'm afraid they won't dare to pursue them. Perhaps there is no need to worry so much!"

Huang Shao thought for a while and said.

"Ha ha!"

Mu Jing sneered twice, and said: "There is never a fluke in the battlefield. Even if some of them are unwilling to pursue, there are still people who understand. Whether Cao Mengde or Yuan Benchu, they all know that only victory can have morale. At this time, they will definitely not I will let go of the opportunity to add insult to injury, my head, in their eyes, is also very valuable!"

"So, we have to fight!"

He said decisively.

All the generals were silent when they heard the words.

As a general on the battlefield, he naturally understands the consequences of suddenly rushing out to pursue troops when withdrawing troops. At the least, they will be entangled, and at worst, it will lead to the collapse of the army's morale, leading to the withdrawal into a big defeat.

Such achievements abound in history.

So they dare not take it lightly.

"But my son, if we procrastinate here, we will lose the opportunity to fight quickly. Once we give the Xiliang army a chance to adjust, I'm afraid..."

Xi Zhicai didn't say anything, but everyone understood what he said later.

"I know!"

Mu Jing's expression was very calm, and the calm made everyone feel a little scared. They had never felt such a chill on this young man, and they only heard Mu Jing said indifferently: "So let's make a quick decision!"

"Of course, I don't need you to fight this battle!" Mu Jing said indifferently: "What you have to do is continue to withdraw troops!"

"Don't we need to fight?"

"Who hits!"

Everyone glanced at each other, unable to guess what Mujing was thinking.

But Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up, and he immediately felt that Mu Jinggeng was planning something.

He stood up and drank in a low voice: "Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Huang Shao, Zhao Ping!"

"exist!"

The four Zhang Liao stood up and stood by with hands folded.

"Jing Ping's army is the vanguard, the South Army's Storm Bear army is the central army, and the Baibo army is behind. You should retreat to Sishui Pass first!" Mu Jing's eyes were far-reaching, and he said: "Retake Sishui Pass at any cost, Sishui Pass It means a lot to us!"

"promise!"

The generals took the lead.

They also couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Mujing's gourd, but at this time they believed in Mujing, not because Mujing was Mushan's heir, but because the trust accumulated by Mujing over the years made them feel at ease.

"You want to mobilize the Huns cavalry?" Xi Zhicai walked up and said in a low voice.

"Well, treat it as waste utilization!"

Mu Jing didn't hide the slightest bit, and said calmly.

"Aren't you afraid that they will fight back?" Xi Zhicai worried: "Huns, I can't believe it. If they know about the death of the lord, they will definitely change their positions and fight us back. Our situation will be even more difficult."

"First, the news of the Huns is definitely not so well-informed, so they will not guess the reason for our use of troops!"

"Second, even if they know, a smart person like Yu Fuluo knows very well that the Central Plains cannot tolerate them, and even if he kills us, he won't gain the trust of the Kanto princes, so he won't do anything to us!"

Mu Jing said calmly: "I hired them with food, so naturally I want to squeeze out the value of their existence. Now any soldier and horse left behind will be a dead end. Only the cavalry of the Huns can come and go freely, so that we can move quickly." We have planned the pursuit of the Kwantung Allied Forces, so we have enough time to return to the capital!"
