Chapter 495: The 7th Ring Task Starts: The Princes Counterattack

"Bah..." When he heard the news, Huangfu Chaobo just summoned two military advisers to discuss how the three princes should attack Luoyang. The case in front of him kicked out, and said angrily: "Yuan Shu is a thief, occupying my city, killing my officials, and even dares to massacre the city, thief, today's blood, you will pay back ten times in the future!"

"My lord, calm down!" Seeing this, Lou Gui rushed forward and said, "My lord, don't raise your troops in anger. Yuan Shu's move does not mean to anger my lord. Please be careful, my lord!"

"That's right, general, now that the princes of the three routes are attacking Luoyang, our army can't easily go out of the city to fight." Tian Feng also said aside;

"That's right." In fact, Huangfu Chaobo was just angry that this guy Yuan Shu took advantage of the fire so shamelessly, but he didn't rush out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the army of 200,000 princes. "We only need to stick to the city. When the time comes, when the reinforcements from the Guandong princes arrive, the princes of the three routes will definitely retreat. Besides, we can also send a letter to the chief and deputy leaders to ask them to uphold justice for me in Luoyang."

"My lord," Lou Gui really didn't want to break Huangfu Chaobo's dream, but his responsibilities forced him to remind him: "Please forget about our chief and deputy leaders, in fact, they are already helping us , but using your foreigner's words is a disservice."

"Ah..." Huangfu Chaobo was dumbfounded when he heard this.

"My lord," Tian Feng stepped forward and said, "Did your lord know that Yuan and Cao's armies have been at their respective borders for many days now?"

Huangfu Chaobo nodded, still bewildered.

"My lord, haven't you figured out what's going on? The purpose of the two of them sending troops is to contain the strength of my allies in Luoyang, so that they don't dare to send troops to support!" Tian Feng said;

Only then did Huangfu Chaobo come to his senses, and looked at the map hanging in the conference hall. Sure enough, Yuan Shao's army, Chen Bingxindu, had already attracted Han Fu's general Zhang Yun and tens of thousands of troops, and he didn't dare to have any idea of ​​leading troops westward to Hanoi. And when Cao Cao's army marched into Liang State, it had already attracted all the troops from Chen Liu and Yuzhou, so it was impossible for him to have the energy and strength to take care of Huangfu Chaobo's Luoyang.

"Slap..." Huangfu Chaobo slapped the map hanging on the wall fiercely, and said, "Damn it, when did Lu Bu have such a powerful counselor in his hands, this is a plan against Luoyang that is so perfect. ..." Just as Huangfu Chaobo was about to discuss with the two military advisers how to deal with the three-party attack, the system prompt sounded in Huangfu Chaobo's ear:

"Congratulations to the player, starting the seventh ring of the task of rebuilding Luoyang: the princes' counterattack. After Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an, Situ Wangyun joined forces with Wenhou Lv Bu to eliminate the national traitor Dong Zhuo, but was informed by the player and failed. Wang Yun was killed and Lv Bu fled.

After Dong Zhuo put down Lv Bu and Wang Yun's rebellion, he felt that the army was tense now, so he decided to shrink the defense area based on the advice of military adviser Li Ru. Dong Zhuo decided to reset Sizhou and Yongzhou. Dong Zhuo ordered all Hongnong and Hangu soldiers to be withdrawn to Tongguan, and divided the Sili Xiaowei Division into two. The three counties of Zuofengxu, Youfufeng and Jingzhaoyin, which are still under Dong Zhuo's control, were set up as Yongzhou; Henan, Hanoi, The four counties of Hedong and Hongnong that are not currently under Dong Zhuo's control are set up as Sizhou.

In order to make friends with you who are on the rise in Luoyang, and at the same time to alienate the princes of the Guandong, I appointed you as the third-rank general Pingdong and Sizhou Mu, and at the same time appointed Huangfusong as the prefect of Hongnong. This move really made the Kwantung princes very dissatisfied, so Yuan Shu, the prefect of Nanyang, joined forces with Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hanoi, and Lv Bu, who had escaped from Chang'an and was still in Hongnong, to attack Luoyang. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, the leader of the alliance, also kept silent about this. "

"I'm second, and Ni Ma congratulated me, I'll fuck it!" Hearing the system prompt, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but yell. The sixth ring has been completed for a long time, and the next ring has not been opened yet. It is estimated that the next link will not be easy, who knows, the start and stop will not be easy, this is simply fatal. Nima, the leader and the deputy leader kept silent, as if what they said was true, judging from the current situation, it is impossible to keep silent,

I almost picked up the knife myself. You can accept Dong Zhuo's appointment by yourself, but I can't, what a pit.

Several people present looked at Huangfu Chaobo in surprise, because this was a personal reminder, so no one else could hear it. Huangfu Chaobo walked to the main seat with a helpless expression and sat down, then told a few people about the system prompt just now.

After hearing this, everyone fell silent. Tian Feng pondered for a moment and said: "It seems that the defense of Luoyang can only rely on our own strength without reinforcements."

"That's right," Huang Zhong said, "it's just that the princes of the three parties have at least 200,000 soldiers, and we can only use Hangu Pass with less than 20,000 soldiers, and Luoyang City has only 45,000 soldiers. But, fortunately, these 40,000 troops The 5,000 soldiers are all middle-ranked and above, and 15,000 of them are high-level elite soldiers. But if these soldiers and horses guard Luoyang, they are more than enough to defend the city, but they are not enough to solve the crisis in Luoyang City this time."

"That's right," Lou Gui's standard action is to hug his beard, and said while hugging, "General Huang's words are reasonable, and there are less than 20,000 soldiers in Hangu Pass. If you just face Lu Bu's nearly 100,000 army It doesn't matter, but once Yuan Shu's army sends a partial division to attack Hangu Pass on both sides, Hangu Pass will be in danger. Once Hangu Pass falls, Luoyang will be surrounded by three groups, and it won't last long."

"Ah, then what should we do? Why don't we recruit another 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers, aren't we afraid we won't be able to wipe out Yuan Shu and his army of more than 100,000?" Huangfu Chaobo said;

"My lord, your thinking is too simple. For one thing, based on Luoyang's various material reserves, at most we can recruit another 20,000 to 25,000 soldiers. Second, our new recruits are all new recruits of the tenth level. It is impossible to compete with the army of the three princes. Therefore, no matter how many soldiers we recruit, it is impossible to defeat the three princes in a short time, but the situation in Luoyang does not allow us to defend for too long, no more than half a year Time, if we can't repel the princes of the three routes within half a year, even if Luoyang defends our early efforts, it will be in vain. At that time, whoever sends an army of 30,000 to 50,000 will be able to drive us out of Luoyang." Lou Gui shook his head and said;

After Lou Gui finished speaking, everyone fell silent. For a while, the meeting hall was so quiet that only the sound of everyone's breathing could be heard.

After a long time, Huangfu Chaobo said: "Let's not worry about so many. Soldiers come to block, water comes to flood the soil. Gentlemen, let's talk about the current situation first. If Hangu Pass is to be defended, how many soldiers and horses are needed?"
