”Lord General, since you can't change your guard, you should order Hu Zhen's troops to be the vanguard, and have him lead the troops to attack the Lu Yang alone. With Hu Zhen's forces, it should not be a problem to attack the Lu Yang. If he were to attack the Lu Yang, all of the credit would go to him. Even if he doesn't, with your great army at the back, she wouldn't lose so miserably. ”
”Hehe …” Mr. Zhang Ling's words are completely to my liking. ” Xu Rong revealed a rare smile, and nodded towards Zhang Banxian: ”I called the two of you here to protect Ying Yang. I'll give you ten thousand steps. Ten thousand cavalrymen, when we attack the Lu Yang, prepare for the enemy to sneak attack us from behind. ”
”Don't worry Lord General, we will definitely not let him take a step into the Ying Yang.” Zhang Banxian raised her head and said loudly, but she could not help but be secretly shocked in her heart. After making contact with Xu Rong for such a long time, he felt more and more that this Xu Rong was not simple.
The first snow of the year 3190 of the Central Yuan finally fell on Nanyang, only a little later than in the past. It snowed for three days in a row, and the snow was so thick that it almost covered the entire Luyang City, covering the whole land in a vast expanse.
In the midst of the snow and wind, Fei Hong was galloping on his horse, like a swallow flying lightly on a snowy plain. The north wind whistled as it swept up balls of snow fog s and circled them in the vast snowy plains, forming numerous whirlpools as it accompanied Fei Hong as he charged towards Luyang City.
Ever since they were ambushed by the West Cold Army's Hu Zhen Department, the security of the Luyang City's gate had become much more tight. The soldiers guarded the city as if they were facing a great enemy, and in the daytime they had to lock the city gates, checking the pedestrians strictly, afraid that the West Cold Army's spies would sneak into the Luyang City.
However, they were already very familiar with Fei Hong, so when Fei Hong ran over, they greeted him: ”Hey …. You've been out for three days, why haven't you hunted many prey? Or give it to that b * tch? ”
”Sigh …” Don't mention it. ”As soon as I left the house, I ran into heavy snow. I wanted to catch some prey while it was still snowing, but who would've thought that I would've brought less clothes with me? I was freezing so I had no choice but to hurry back.” Fei Hong chatted and laughed with the guards at the gate as he walked into the Luyang City.
One of the microchieftain s walked forward and stopped in front of Fei Hong. He looked at Fei Hong's prey, and casually picked up a wild rabbit. This hare is pretty fat, so I'll leave it to my brothers to go down to the bar. ”
”Take it …” Take it... It's a cold day, so the brothers ought to have a drink to warm them up and not get cold. ” Of course, Fei Hong didn't bother with them, he cupped his hands with the guards and led his horse into the Luyang City.
After Fei Hong and Liang Ming brought Young Emperor Liu Bian to the Luyang City to flee, they found the intelligence agent they had arranged to be there, and hid within the Luyang City the entire time. Since they did not receive Yang Lin's next order, they temporarily settled down in the Luyang City.
Sun Jian had also heard later that the West Cold Army's Hu Zhen Department had come to the Luyang City after chasing after him. Even though he was covered in cold sweat from fright, he had still immediately ordered his men to search for Young Emperor Liu Bian. However, even after searching through the entire Luyang City, he did not find any trace of Young Emperor Liu Bian.
After passing through a few small alleys, Fei Hong arrived in front of a small courtyard. He forcefully coughed a few times, and not long after, the small courtyard door opened. Liang Ming walked out from the courtyard.
”What orders does Military Advisor have?” Liang Ming turned around and asked anxiously. Stay in the Luyang City, his heart was not at ease, he did not know when Sun Jian's soldiers would rush in. They were fine, but Young Emperor Liu Bian was in trouble.
”Military Advisor said that Lord General originally wanted Dong Zhuo to attack Yuan Shao, but who would have known that by some strange accident, we lured Dong Zhuo over to Sun Jian's side. Furthermore, Dong Zhuo's army is about to arrive soon, Lord General ordered for us to immediately withdraw from Lu Yang and send the Young Emperor safely to Youzhou, to make him forget about all of this and lead a normal life.”
This time, when Fei Hong left the city, he went to the Ying Yang to look for them. He wanted to know what he should do next. Since Yang Lin had successfully lured the flames of war onto Sun Jian, he was no longer planning to use Young Emperor Liu Bian. He was too young to be pitied. Just like him, he was still going to a normal family.
”Alright, let's leave this tiger's den immediately while it's still early!” Liang Ming didn't want to stay any longer than a quarter of an hour, so he turned around and packed his luggage. He didn't even notice that Fei Hong had not even finished speaking after walking for half a day.
The fifteen year old Liu Bian looked at the busy Fei Hong, Liang Ming, with a blank look in his eyes. He did not know why they had come in such a hurry, nor did he know why they had left in such a hurry.
”emergency report …” A few scout s shouted as they charged towards the Luyang City. The city guards quickly moved out of the way, afraid that the galloping horses would touch them. As if there was no one around, those scout s galloped their horses and charged into Sun Jian's temporary General Palace.
”Lord General, Hu Zhen's Five ten thousand people Horse, was suddenly gathering at the Thou River region yesterday afternoon. Furthermore, it is preparing the siege equipment. scout gasped as he ran into Sun Jian's lobby.
