Chapter 976: Hou Cheng Retreats to Qiyuan City

At this point in the game, it is no longer easy for players to capture a county, because the NPC princes have basically demarcated their respective spheres of influence.

In fact, what everyone doesn't know is that the sword spirit who took back Yidao also got a big advantage. The two brothers Han Xuan and Han Hao, who had fled from Changsha, were actually hiding in Yidao County, preparing to flee to Yizhou for refuge. , but he survived just in time when Wulingman attacked the city. After the city was broken, he was captured by Wulingman soldiers, and then he was rescued by Sword Spirit, and finally he was recruited by Sword Spirit.

Seeing that the Sword Spirit was able to capture a county at this time, and that there was a strong general like Wei Yan, Huangfu Chaobo felt that this Sword Spirit would become one of the player princes sooner or later.

The only important information about the players is these two people, but there is some information about the princes.

First of all, it’s about the governor of Yuzhou, Kong Wei. The reward for the Huainan War was quite good. He was named the fourth-grade backbone general, Fei Tinghou, but this Fei Tinghou is a bit disgusting. This is a pavilion in Qiao County. On the surface it seems to belong to the territory of Yuzhou, but in fact it is the place where Cao Cao made his fortune.

Next is Cao Cao. Before he sent troops to attack Yuan Shu, he was originally Fenwu General and Yanzhou Mu. After a big battle, he became General Zhenjun, Yanzhou Mu and Antinghou. However, Anting was located in Yingchuan. A pavilion ten miles north of Yingyin County.

Another one is Sun Ce's reward. The original Cavalry Captain and Wucheng Marquis who succeeded his father Sun Jian were promoted by the emperor to general against rebellion, and at the same time he was recognized as the governor of Danyang.

It can be said that the four princes besieged Yuan Shu. Although they fought for nearly two years, in the end each family gained good results.

After reading the intelligence from other forces, Huangfu Chaobo was about to send someone to call Xu Shu to ask about the status of the reorganization and recovery of various troops. However, his player communicator suddenly rang. When he opened it, it was Zhao Zilong's. communication.

"Is the war over?" Huangfu Chaobo asked after the communication was connected;

"The battle was over ten days ago. Being so frightened by you makes this battle so tiring..." Zhao Zilong said;

"How is the result?"

"It's not bad. Lu Bu's army left more than 3,000 corpses and more than 5,000 prisoners and retreated into the clouds in embarrassment. What do you think we should do next?" Although Zhao Zilong said it was okay, the pride in his tone revealed Everyone can hear it.

Huangfu Chaobo curled his lips disdainfully and said, "You two have military advisors. What do Fu Xun and Mao Jie say?"

Zhao Zilong said with a shy face: "How can our three melons and two dates compare with Feng Chu's genius!"

"Next, you have to prepare to face the red rabbit among horses and the wrath of Lu Bu among men." Huangfu Chaobo looked at Zhao Zilong with some luck, and saw that his triumphant look suddenly turned into a bitter gourd. With a face full of anger, he said: "If you are lucky enough, Lu Bu might even attack the city himself. You know, at the Hangu Pass, Dian Wei fought hard to get hurt before defeating Lu Bu's attack. retreat..."

Zhao Zilong's face suddenly became even more ugly. Dian Weidu had no choice but to fight to the death. Among their subordinates, only Gao Lan had a force value in the eighties, and the rest of the generals had less than seventy at most. Facing Lu Buqi is not just about instant kills.

Huangfu Chaobo looked at Zhao Zilong with a playful look on his face, and when he saw that it was almost over, he said: "Although the words are a bit exaggerated, you must be fully prepared to deal with the next thing. Lu Bu's Personality, to put it nicely, you are arrogant, but to put it badly, you are just a docile donkey. However, you must show enough strength to make him feel that it is not worthwhile to go to great lengths to destroy you, and then he will consider it. "

"So the opinion of the two great military advisors is that we still have to defeat Lu Bu?"

"Yes, the young will be defeated by the old. This is for sure. After Hou Cheng's army fails, Lu Bu will definitely lead the troops to fight in person. As long as you block his two to three rounds of attacks and then surrender later, it should be No problem.

By the way, you must take good care of the captured Lu Bu soldiers. These soldiers will definitely be returned in the end. "

Zhao Zilong nodded. It was indeed true. These prisoners would indeed be returned to Lu Bu. In any case, if you want to be subdued, you can't go too far. As for the dead ones, there is nothing you can do.

Seeing that Zhao Zilong had completely understood what he meant, Huangfu Chaobo said: "There is nothing else. There is nothing else. I am about to hang up the communication. I am busy!"

"Okay, you have to be busy first. If you are a busy person, hang up first!"

With that said, the two ended the communication.

As Huangfu Chaobo expected, in the Wenhou Mansion far away in Taiyuan, Bingzhou, Lu Bu was like a furious wolf king, exuding awe-inspiring murderous aura, making the air in the hall even colder. Below him were Lu Bu's military advisor Chen Gong, and his general Zhang Liao, as well as the Taiyuan governor Xu Si, the Taiyuan captain Wei Xu, as well as Weidun, Zhao Gai, and officials from the Bingzhou Prefecture Mufu who had newly joined Lu Bu's tent.

Because of the heavy snow, the news of Hou Cheng's defeat was not spread back to Jinyang until now. Everyone who got the news was shocked, and Lu Bu was even more furious.

Hou Cheng's army was defeated and retreated into the clouds. After returning to Yunzhong, Hou Cheng did not dare to hide anything. While leading troops to station in Xianyang to prevent the Wuyuan troops from attacking Yunzhong County, he also wrote down the story of the war in detail and reported to Jinyang.

"Come here, gather the 50,000 troops. I will personally lead the troops and destroy this group of strangers who don't know the heights of the world."

"No, Marquis Wen!"

"My Lord, wait a minute!"

Chen Gong and Zhang Liao both stepped out to protest;

Lü Bu grinned and stared at the two men fiercely, saying: "What, do you two still want to stop me from sending troops?"

Chen Gong shook his head and said: "It's freezing cold, sending troops at this time will only waste money and food. Wuyuan and Shuofang counties won't run away, why should Wenhou be in a hurry?"

Zhang Liao also said: "50,000 troops will consume a lot of food and grass. I don't have much food and grass in Bingzhou. Wenhou doesn't need to go to war now. After the spring comes tomorrow, Wenhou won't need to go to war in person. , Liao will meet Wenhou to take the two counties. "

Lü Bu was also so angry that he wanted to send troops now. After the two people talked, he woke up and looked at the sky outside the hall. At this time, snowflakes were still flying. He also said: "I was also angry and confused. It is indeed what you two said. Well, let's wait until the beginning of next spring, when the snow melts, and then send troops. This time, I will definitely lead the army to fight in person."

Everyone in the hall also breathed a sigh of relief. With Lu Bu's character, it is really possible that he would lead troops to fight in this winter. Fortunately, Chen and Zhang persuaded him to stop.
