Chapter 435 The Siege of Jiangyi
In September of the first year of Chuping, Lu Bu left Hangu Pass and went straight to the Fengji Department, which occupied Gucheng.

Fengji hurriedly asked Wang Kuang in Hanoi for help. Wang Kuang and Yuan Shao's second batch of reinforcements, Jiang Qi's troops, crossed the river overnight to support Fengji.

By the time Lü Bu reached Gucheng, there were more than [-] Dai Jia men and [-] cavalry in the Fengji Department (the horses were donated or purchased from the Lucheng Army).

Fengji lined up beside Gushui, and Lu Bu personally charged at Fengji's army as the vanguard. The two armies fought from the Sino-Japanese battle until sunset, and Lu Bu's army was exhausted. Fengji Fang ordered Wen Chou to lead [-] cavalry to attack.

Unexpectedly, Lv Bu became more and more courageous as he fought, he ignored Wen Chou's exhaustion, and knocked Wen Chou off his horse with a single halberd. Fortunately, all the guards managed to escape.

Seeing this, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry boosted their morale, and fought again with the Wenchou cavalry. The Hebei cavalry without their commander was defeated by the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, and the infantry who were stalemate were also defeated.

During the battle, Lu Bu beheaded [-] prisoners, and captured more than [-] prisoners. Countless people fled. That night, Lu Bu ordered the prisoners to be beheaded.

Lu Bu's vicious name resounded among the princes of the Central Plains again.

The feudal lords were forced by Lu Bu's prestige and feared that Xu Rong would join forces with him, so they sent troops from Suanzao, and sent people to urge Yuan Shu of Luyang to order Sun Jian to send troops to Yiqueguan.

Sun Jian stationed troops in Yang, and the gentry in Yuzhou contributed money and materials one after another, and helped him recruit soldiers. For a while, Sun Jian was very successful in Yuzhou, and Yuan Shu in Luyang became suspicious again. They all refused on the grounds of insufficient training of soldiers and insufficient armor.

Lu Bu went out of Hangu Pass, Yuan Shao sent reinforcements out of Ye, and the princes of the Guandong attacked one after another. Yuan Shu couldn't fall behind, so he immediately replenished Sun Jian with armor, soldiers, food and grass.

Sun Jian knew that he could not delay any longer, and immediately led his army to attack Yique Pass.

Lv Bu was defeated in a big defeat, and the connection between Luoyang and Chang'an was smooth again. The supplies and armor that Hu Zhen brought later greatly increased the power of Dong Yue and Xu Rong. Facing the siege of the princes, Dong Yue had to divide his troops and fight. He took the lead to resist Liu Dai and other princes, and led by Hu Zhen and Lu Bu to break the siege of Yique Pass.

After Lu Bu and Lv Bu arrived at Yique, Sun Jian withdrew his army and returned to Yangren. Hu Zhen thought that Sun Jian was intimidated by the reputation of Xiliang iron cavalry, so he led his army to pursue him. After a big defeat, Lu Buyuan was unable to rescue in Yique. Fortunately, Sun Jian only stayed in Yangren and did not take advantage of the victory to pursue.

The two armies had victories and defeats in the battle, but Sun Jian became famous and praised by everyone in the Guandong princes, and he changed his image of being defeated by Xu Rong.

Sun Jian stationed troops in Yangren, but Liu Dai and others were beaten by Xu Rong without any power to fight back, and the armies of the princes had to retreat to Suanzao again.

The war situation in the Central Plains returned to calm again, but an unexpected incident in Hedong caught the attention of the princes. Dong Zhuo's send-off team was attacked by bandits and retreated to Jiangyi City, and the bandits then besieged the city.

The princes knew very well that once the sending team was attacked and killed by bandits, any move of Liu Bei would affect the overall situation of the Central Plains, so the envoys from all walks of life began to come alive again.

Baibo, Chang'an, Jinyang, and Anyi all became the center of activities of the secret agents, while Jiangyi, which was besieged by bandits, calmed down instead.

The Lucheng army is both offensive and defensive, and the Xiliang army is good at attacking. Although the two elite troops are small, they are not difficult to defend the small Jiangyi.

At this moment, there was a great quarrel in Jiangyi, and there was no other reason. The two generals of the escorting team both strongly advocated to fight. Unexpectedly, how to explain to Liu Bei that something happened to the bride.

The general who is seeking marriage is Han Dang, a veteran of Liu Bei's command. The reason why he is said to be old is that Han Dang has followed Liu Bei the longest, and his age is relatively older among the generals, such as Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, Wenpin, Zhao Yun, etc. All of them were in their twenties, but Han Dang was over thirty, so he was naturally a veteran among generals.

The veteran couldn't bear it either, showing his contempt for the bandits: "If this wave of bandits is not wiped out quickly, if the Baibo army makes a big move, then the little Jiangyi will not be able to stop the Baibo army at all."

Zuo Yuan is old and smart, he naturally knows the desire of young generals to make meritorious service, but at his age, sending Cai Yan to Jinyang safely is a great achievement.

"Yigong, I have sent a message to Hao Zhao from Lishi. Hao Zhao will lead his army south in a few days. By then, the Baibo army will definitely not go out lightly."

Zuo Yuan said, Fu Xu frowned and said: "Yigong, don't forget why we retreated to Jiangyi. If the excellent bandit army is not eliminated, how can I leave the city with peace of mind?"

Zhang Xiudao: "It was because of the elite bandit army that we had to go out to fight. The small town of Jiangyi is short of food and grass. When Liu Hou's army comes to help, I'm afraid we will starve to death."

Cai Gu hurriedly said: "There is not enough food and grass, let's just save some food."

Zhang Xiu snorted coldly: "I heard that Ms. Cai was betrothed to the Hedong Wei family. If we don't fight, I'm afraid the Hedong Wei family will send private soldiers to help."

"good."

Han Dang agreed.

Zuo Yuan said helplessly: "If that bandit army is not eliminated, it will indeed be a concern for us. You two remember that the purpose of this battle is to eliminate that elite bandit army."

"Here!"

Han Dang and Zhang Xiu were overjoyed.

Immediately, Han Dang went out of the city to attack the bandit army who was about to attack the city. The bandit army did not guard against the army in the city and dared to go out of the city and was killed by surprise. For a while, the Lucheng army was invincible.

Standing on a high place, Cao Cao said to the guard: "A group of mobs, didn't someone remind them to beware of sneak attacks by the army in the city?"

The guard looked embarrassed, and the black-faced strong man beside him shouted: "Didn't you abolish the sending team? Why are there so many troops in the city?"

Cao Cao couldn't help being happy when he heard the black-faced man biting himself back. Just as he was about to speak, Wei Hu pleaded: "Brother Meng, although Xiaowei Li's brother is a little careless, he is the main force after all. If you are defeated by the Lucheng Army, it is only up to you." Neither of us can do anything."

Cao Cao naturally understood this truth, and said to Wei Hu: "Brother Wei, don't worry, Captain Li's people will save him, but it's not the time yet."

As soon as Cao Cao said this, Li Xiaowei's eyes were ready to kill, but fortunately he still knew how to bear it, and as his trusted soldiers died one by one, he couldn't help but bowed his head to Cao Cao: "Brother Meng, Please save Brother Wei for Brother Wei's sake! Brother Meng will definitely obey Brother Meng in the future?"

Cao Cao sneered: "It's better?"

Cao Cao looked at the bandits who were about to be defeated, and winked at Cao Hong who was beside him. Cao Hong immediately drew his sword in his hand and said, "Brothers, follow me!"

"kill!"

Will be the courage of soldiers.

Cao Hong rushed out first, and the thousands of elite soldiers behind him were all armed with sharp weapons. They immediately injected a magical power into the chaotic bandits, and they all turned to fight with the Lucheng army.

As Cao Hong resisted Han Dang, the Lucheng army fell into a hard fight. Cao Cao stroked his beard and nodded, suddenly his small eyes lit up, and the city gate opened again. Zhang Xiu led the Xiliang army to fight out. "Not good, hurry up, Ming Jin retreats."

It was too late for Cao Cao to withdraw his troops, so Zhang Xiu led his men straight to Cao Hong who was fighting hard with Han Dang. How could Cao Cao, who had only trained for more than a month, compare with the Xiliang Army and Lucheng Army, let alone being pinched by the two armies?
Cao Cao's warriors were depleted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the sound of gold clanging sounded, and the warriors ran for their lives one after another. The bandit army was defeated again, and the defeated ones retreated for more than ten miles in a row to stabilize their positions.
