Chapter 669: I'm Falling In Love With Luoyang

Zhang Yu and the others are all cavalry, and they are naturally very fast.

After running for dozens of miles, Zhang Yu and the others stopped to rest.

"My lord, where are we going?" Dian Wei asked after stopping to rest.

"Go to Luoyang, where Cao Cao has drawn a large number of troops to deal with Yuan Shu, and there are not many troops at this time." Zhang Yu said.

As early as when Zhang Yu was going to Xuchang, he planned the route back, and only when he was sure did he dare to go deep alone.

There are still many Cao troops guarding the cities along the road, but no army can pose a threat to them.

In the hinterland, most people would not leave too many defenders. Thousands of troops guarding a city is considered a lot, and there are only so many troops in relatively large cities.

Cao Cao's face was very bad when he entered Xuchang. This is not only a defeat, but also a big loss.

Cao Cao summoned all his men: "Zhang Yu wants to go south from Luoyang to Jingzhou, and then use the Yangtze River to return to Jiangdong. Although the journey is long, the danger is not great."

Zhang Yu was leading 50,000 cavalry, and he couldn't catch up with him, nor could the defenders in front be scattered.

"My lord, let the subordinates and others lead the troops to chase and kill him, and he must not let him leave easily." Xia Houyuan said.

Cao Cao didn't say a word, the pursuit was certain, and if he didn't pursue Zhang Yu, he would not leave.

But what is happening right now is not Zhang Yu, but Yuan Shao.

Zhang Yu made a big fuss in Yanzhou, and Yuan Shao had already made a move.

Several cities on the front line fell, and Yuan Shao stepped up his attack.

This is what Cao Cao is most worried about. He is not worried about how much damage Zhang Yu will do to Yanzhou, but he is afraid of Yuan Shao's huge damage to Yanzhou.

Therefore, the most important thing for Cao Cao is to quickly stop Yuan Shao and prevent Yuan Shao from continuing to destroy.

Since the crusade against Yuan Shu has failed, it is impossible for Cao Cao to do it again.

Speaking of Yuan Shu, it was still like a dream.

Cao Cao fought all the way to Shouchun,

He was under siege from all sides.

But as a result, the enemy has either retreated or ceased fighting, and the situation is calm.

Instead, Yanzhou became lively.

While Yuan Shu was fortunate, he was also aware of his own situation.

"Ji Ling, reorganize the soldiers and horses, increase training, and recruit another group of soldiers and horses for me." Yuan Shu ordered.

Ji Ling led the order, but Yang Hong came out and said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses must continue to be recruited and trained, but the most important thing is to solve the problem of weapons and equipment. In this case, our soldiers did not have enough weapons and equipment. , there is no way to train, so it will be such a disadvantage."

Yuan Shu was in trouble. This time he lost a lot, and Zhang Yu took away so much money. He has borrowed from these aristocratic families several times, and they can't always lend money to him.

Yuan Shu knew that he didn't have any money now, and he still owed a large sum of money.

How much does it cost to buy additional weapons and equipment.

"Let's talk about it when the tax is collected next time. We can't get much money right now." Yuan Shu said aggrievedly.

Yang Hong said: "Your Majesty, if you have money, you can get money."

Yuan Shu's eyes lit up, he was most short of money right now.

"Your Majesty, we can ask Zhang Yu to borrow money. Although we need conditions, if we don't restore our strength as soon as possible, next time the enemy comes over, we will have nothing."

As soon as Yang Hong said, Yuan Shu agreed, and ordered Yang Hong to let him go to Zhang Yu to negotiate.

Such a consensus was formed within Yuan Shu.

Under Yuan Shu's madness, Yuan Shu continued to exploit the people and recruit troops.

And the aristocratic family is their accomplices in exploiting the people. They donated a large sum of money to Yuan Shu, but obtained power from Yuan Shu and used various methods to exploit the people.

The people ruled by Yuan Shu are miserable, and their lives are becoming more and more difficult as Yuan Shu's ambition grows.

Talk about another way.

Zhou Yu discovered the problem early, so he stopped attacking early in the morning and started to consolidate his achievements, and his life was quite good.

Sun Ce has stabilized the occupied territory, and the entire Panyang Lake is under his control.

And Lu Bu did even better, occupying a large number of cities, and then ransacked the cities like Zhang Yu, brought back a lot of money, and moved millions of people back.

Cai Mao didn't make much progress there. He only captured three cities, and his own losses were not small.

However, Cai Mao also gained something. After some cleaning, the tens of thousands of troops became his direct descendants.

Several generals with high official positions also asked him to use various methods to get it back.

In this crusade against Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao suffered the most losses.

Cao Cao didn't get any benefit at all.

Neither face nor face was gained.

And everyone else has lost face and liking.

 …

Zhang Yu continued to walk with his soldiers and horses, but Cao Cao didn't chase him for a while.

In fact, Cao Cao is also very entangled. If there are fewer soldiers and horses, it will definitely not work, it is too dangerous.

There are too many soldiers and horses, and Yuan Shao's side is not easy to deal with.

In the end, Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan to follow with 50,000 soldiers and horses, and Cao Ang to accompany them.

However, Cao Cao ordered to monitor Zhang Yu, not to get too close, and try not to fight. Once Zhang Yu wants to attack or eat them, those who can enter the city will go to the city to spend with Zhang Yu, and if they cannot enter the city, they will stick to their positions , and then gather the soldiers and horses from the surrounding cities.

Cao Cao was also cornered by Zhang Yu.

The situation in Yanzhou is very interesting.

Zhang Yu and the others ran wildly for three days.

"Come on, there is a small town ahead, let's rest there for a day, and then plan our next move." Zhang Yu looked at the map and said to Dian Wei.

Dian Wei immediately understood Zhang Yu's meaning, and led 20,000 people to go ahead.

When Zhang Yu arrived at the small town, Dian Wei had occupied the city and was waiting for Zhang Yu to arrive.

This kind of small town has evolved from a town to a county seat, and usually hundreds of people are stationed there, so it is very easy to attack.

Zhang Yu and the others were very fast, leaving Cao Jun more than two days away, and had plenty of time to rest.

After Zhang Yu entered the city, he found a spacious place and spread out the map.

"There are 30,000 troops stationed in Luoyang, how can we attack?" Zhang Yu said looking at the map.

Now that he had reached here, he had to pass through Luoyang, so Zhang Yu came up with the idea of ​​Luoyang.

Taking down Luoyang is of great significance.

"Just do this, this time Cao Cao must vomit blood." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu has already thought of a way.

"Evil comes to obey orders..."

After thinking of a way, Zhang Yu acted quickly.

Zhang Yu asked Dian Wei to send troops overnight to capture the city.

The cities he asked Dianwei to capture were only small towns. The location of these small towns was not important, and the population was not very large. Generally, there would not be many defenders, so they were easy to capture. Some cities even had no troops to garrison them.

All cities with soldiers and horses garrisoned are big cities, which are not easy to attack, so Zhang Yu will not move him.

When Dian Wei moved, Zhang Yu followed suit.

When Zhang Yu left the next day, there were 5,000 more soldiers in the army.

Yes, Zhang Yu recruited troops overnight. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
