After three days of rapid march, the army led by Liu Yuan was already less than a hundred miles away from Xinzheng.

One day later, we will arrive in Xinzheng.

"Xinzheng is right in front of us. Is there any news from Xingyang?"

The information Liu Yuan mentioned was naturally Liu Cong's information.

Since Liu Cong was in the army, he must be much better informed than him.

"There is no letter coming from Xingyang, but the scouts we sent out have not returned yet. Maybe they got lost."

get lost?

There are guides around the scouts who are very familiar with the territory of Xingyang, so they should not get lost.

Liu Yuan frowned slightly, waved his hands to everyone, and said: "After three days of rapid march, the soldiers are a little tired. Let's rest here for half a day. When the soldiers are refreshed, we can go to Xinzheng."

This scout has gone and never returned, which always makes people feel a little uneasy.

Could it be...

King Qi attacked Xinzheng?

impossible.

If this is the case, there should be news from Marquis Guangyuan.

If you haven't come over now, it means there is no such thing.

That doesn't matter...

What happened again?

Liu Yuan was very surprised. He was cautious by nature, otherwise he would not have stopped at this time.

"Send some more scouts out to see the situation in Xinzheng and Yingchuan."

The importance of intelligence to the battlefield is self-evident, and Liu Yuan does not dare to underestimate it.

"promise."

The generals under his command immediately arranged for more scouts and set off from the army.

On the other side, in Zhongmu County, which is dozens of miles away from Xinzheng, Zhang Hong frowned slightly.

"You mean, Liu Yuan stopped?"

The scout under his command nodded slightly.

"Liu Yuan camped twenty miles outside Guancheng and constantly sent scouts to explore the situation around Xinzheng."

"oh?"

Zhang Hong's eyes flashed.

"It seems that this Xiongnu Commander-in-Chief is also a cautious person by nature. It can be seen that he has noticed something unusual, but...since it is in the pocket, even if it is not deep in the pocket, as long as

Once the mouth of this bag is closed, the people inside still cannot escape, but it is slightly more dangerous than before, and the losses suffered will definitely be more than before."

After all, if Liu Yuan got into the pocket and was unprepared, their attack would be very unprepared. Liu Yuan's men might have already been killed without any resistance.

but...

It's just this difference.

The Huns' fighting power is mediocre, and they have recently recruited many new soldiers. Now is a good time to train their troops.

In Zhang Hong's view, Liu Yuan was the whetstone for his new recruits.

"Hurry and send the news to Xingyang and Guancheng..."

However, Zhang Hong thought for a moment and took back the previous sentence.

"My lord is much better informed than I am. I am afraid that he already knows Liu Yuan's message. I will write a handwritten letter and send it to Xingyang for my lord. In addition, I will ask General Zhang Guang of Yangcheng to announce

Good defense, don't let Liu Yuan slip out, I will lead the army first and tighten my pockets."

time is life.

On the battlefield, the general will not accept the order of the foreign king.

If we wait for the messenger to arrive in Xingyang every time, then all the war opportunities will be delayed.

Therefore, he had to take the lead in attacking, first surrounding Liu Yuan so that he could not escape, and then wait for the order from Marquis Guangyuan.

Not long after Zhang Hong's scout messenger left, the garrison outside Zhongmou City began to move.

In less than an hour, the mighty army marched towards Guancheng.

.....

At this time in Xingyang City, Wang Sheng indeed knew the news that Liu Yuan had stopped outside Guancheng.

"Liu Yuan, you are indeed alert, but if you put it in your pocket, don't even think about getting out!"

Wang Sheng's views are similar to Zhang Hong's.

"Send someone to inform General Zhang Hong and Zhang Guang, asking them to change according to the situation. Be sure to keep Liu Yuan's troops in Xingyang and Liu Yuan in Xingyang!"

It is not necessary to annihilate all the Xiongnu soldiers.

But Liu Yuan must stay, whether he is captured alive or dead.

When Liu Yuan goes back, with his appeal, the entire Bingzhou may be corrupted.

"Lord, since you are going to attack Liu Yuan, then Liu Cong..."

Zhang Bin reminded from the side.

Wang Sheng nodded slightly.

"I have transferred the 3,000 Huns soldiers under him. Now he has only a hundred cronies available. Arrest Liu Cong. If he dares to resist, he will be killed on the spot."

Wang Sheng and Liu Cong rested together, but it was just a performance.

and...

Even if the relationship is so good, now, Wang Sheng will still give orders without politeness.

Cut the grass without removing the root, but it will grow again when the spring breeze blows.

Wang Sheng understood this truth in his heart.

"promise."

It was too easy to deal with Liu Cong. Liu Cong often went in and out of the Xingyang Marshal's Mansion without anyone around him. Zhang Bin just sent dozens of guards to capture Liu Cong, and then sent hundreds more to surrender him.

The guns of Liu Cong's cronies put all these people in jail.

As for those three thousand people...

The Huns are certainly not monolithic, just subdue a few of them and make them serve them.

If you are not convinced...

Wang Sheng didn't mind at all if he killed three thousand people.

Outside Guancheng, the pockets had been tightened after half a day.

After Zhang Hong received Wang Sheng's order, he no longer hesitated.

When Liu Yuan didn't have much preparation, he took advantage of the night and walked directly into Liu Yuan's military camp.

then...

It was a one-sided massacre.

When Liu Yuan ran out of the military tent, his face was in shock, and his eyes were even more stunned.

He didn't understand the situation for a while.

Who attacked him?

King of Qi?

still...

Marquis Guangyuan?

What King Qi said is simply impossible, after all, no relevant news has been received from the front.

But if it's the latter...

It's impossible. He has no enmity with Marquis Guangyuan. Why would Marquis Guangyuan attack him?

This... this is not scientific!

However, Liu Yuan didn't have much time to think about these things, as the army had already attacked.

"Commander, leave quickly, it's too late if you don't leave."

Until now, the Xiongnu army has not organized a few effective counterattacks. Instead, it is a mess, with shouts of killing, begging for mercy, and shouts of escape...for a while.

Liu Yuan also knew that now was not the time to think about this. He gritted his teeth and jumped directly on the horse.

"Walk!"

Only by living can you know what the truth is and then you can make a comeback.

Keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood.

only...

Liu Yuan couldn't escape at all.

Not long after leaving the burning camp, he found someone waiting for him in front.

It was Zhang Hong with a smile on his face.

From the moment he met Liu Yuan, Zhang Hong knew that his mission was completed.

And Liu Yuan understood everything from the moment he saw Zhang Hong.

The so-called transfer order, and he needs to personally lead it...

I am afraid...

This matter had been planned by Marquis Guangyuan for a long time.

only...

Why?

Why did Marquis Guangyuan target him? Deal with him?

Liu Yuan's face was red and his eyes were extremely hateful. He couldn't understand!

Opposite him, Zhang Hong waved his hand, and Liu Yuan's troops broke up and were surrounded.

Winning or losing...
Chapter completed!
