In addition to asking Gongsun Zan to send troops to harass Yuan Shao's hinterland, Huangfu Chaobo also sent people to Changshan on the advice of Pang Tong and others, hoping that Zhang Yan could send troops to help.

Pang Tong believed that with Zhang Yan's ability, he would not be ignorant of the truth of his lips and teeth. In order to allow Zhang Yan to play, Huangfu Chaobo also agreed to sell him another 3,000 rhubarb crossbows. Of course, it's just for sale, not for free, but the price is slightly cheaper than usual.

Nowadays, in Huangfu Chaobo’s army, almost every battle barracks has 10 to 20% of the crossbowmen. In the Tiger and Dragon Army, the Rhubarb crossbow is still equipped with the two-stone Rhubarb crossbow, which makes the crossbowmen more powerful. More than 10%.

As Pang Tong expected, after seeing Huangfu Chaobo's messenger, Zhang Yan agreed to the request to send troops without hesitation.

Also on the 15th, Yuan Shujun's 50,000 army, after entering the territory of Runan, suddenly turned to the east, and the soldiers pointed directly at Xiapi. For a while, the world was in an uproar. Just as Cao Cao was about to send someone to blame Yuan Shu, another army of Yuan Shu began to invade the territory of Runan. Yuan Shu's move made Cao Cao as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.

At the same time, Nanyang Zhang Ji sent his nephew Zhang Xiu to lead 20,000 infantry, 10,000 cavalry, a total of 30,000 troops sent troops to block Yang, and the world has already received the news, leading Chen to the battlefield.

On the 16th, Wenhou Lubu's army left the Queshu Valley and arrived at Yongan City. What was waiting for Lu Bu was an empty city. As early as a few days ago, the defenders and most of the people in the city flowed down from Fen Shui to Pishi county seat. As for the people who were unwilling to leave, after the officials distributed some money and food to them in accordance with the requirements of the prefectural government, they stopped taking care of them.

Therefore, when Lu Bu's army entered Yong'an, they found that there were no grains of rice in the official warehouse, and there was no coin in the county. On the contrary, the people in the county seat who have not left have a lot of money and food, but after Lu Bu entered Bingzhou, he had strictly enforced the military discipline according to the requirements of Chen Gong, and soldiers must not rob and rule the people.

Now that Lu Bu sent troops to Hedong, he must have come with the purpose of occupying Hedong, so he would not allow the soldiers to rob the people of Hedong.

Unexpectedly, entering the Hedong area faced such a situation, which made Lu Bu a dilemma. In desperation, while sending people from Taiyuan to bring in the food and grass needed by the army, he led the army to continue south. Hope to be able to gain something in other cities.

It is a pity that when the army arrived in Yang County, the situation was still the same as in Yong'an, oh, there was still a difference. There were slightly more people here than in Yong'an. This was the case for the next Pingyang and Xiangling.

At this time, Lu Bu's army had entered Hedong for a total of two hundred miles, but the tens of thousands of troops were indeed like traveling. There was no war, let alone gain. But then, if there is no harvest, Lu Bu's army will be miserable.

Therefore, at the suggestion of joining the army Qin Yi and Yilan, Lu Bu ordered the army to station in Xiangling, and then sent people to urge Chen Gong to bring grain from Taiyuan, while sending people to continue south to explore the conditions of the rest of the city in the east.

A few days later, the grain and grass in Taiyuan finally arrived. At the same time, the scouts who went south to investigate the intelligence also brought intelligence about Linfen and Jiangyi. Let everyone breathe a sigh of relief, both cities are defending. According to the information provided by the people in the surrounding territories, there are at least 10,000 defenders in Linfen, and Jiangyi has more than 10,000 defenders.

According to the original arrangement of Huangfu Chaobo, it was originally planned to only defend Pi's and Fenshui and the cities south of the tributary Huishui. However, after discussion by the people of Hedong, combined with the situation of the army in the county, they decided to include the two cities of Linfen and Jiangyi in the defense range.

Jiangyi is the Guanjian city that enters the southern plain from the northeast of the river. If Jiangyi is not guarded, Lu Bu's army can directly enter the most prosperous area in the east of the river from here. After careful discussion between Zhang Chao and Hedong officials, it was decided that the county captain Huangfu Jianshou would lead the soldiers to guard Pishi, the Yingyangying deputy general Yang Feng would lead the Yingyangying Army First School, and the ordinary guards would guard Linfen. Tian Yu, the leader of the Yangying camp, led Yingyangying infantry and cavalry to one school, plus two guards guarding Jiangyi. As for the county town of Anyi, the prefect Zhang Chao and the county chief Zhu Hao were responsible for the defense.

After the discussion, Zhang Chao immediately reported the results of the discussions to Huangfu Chaobo. After receiving Zhang Chao's request, Huangfu Chaobo immediately recruited Pang Tong and others to carefully discuss Zhang Chao's plan. In the end, several people thought that Zhang Chao's plan was feasible, so Huangfu Chaobo replied and agreed to Hedong's arrangement.

With Huangfu Chaobo's approval, the Hedong generals can proceed to make arrangements. Within a few days, the soldiers and horses were in place.

On September 22, Lü Bu's army was supplemented with food and grass, and they split into two routes and continued south. On the first route, Wei Xuhoucheng and Qin Yi led an army of 20,000, and went down southwest of Fenshui to attack Linfen. On the other road, Lu Bu led Cao Xing and Yilan, and led an army of 30,000 from Xiangling to attack Jiangyi south.

As for Lv Bu's general Zhang Liao, he is currently fighting in Yanmen and assisting Yanmen prefect Wang Kai to stabilize the situation in Yanmen. The reason why Zhang Liao and Chen Gong did not go with the army, and with Lv Bu in recent years, their tails were a little up to the sky, and only Chen Gong and Zhang Liao in the army poured cold water on him from time to time, plus this dispatch. Hedong, the two were strongly opposed, so Lu Bu simply did not let them join the army.

The idea in Lu Bu's mind is that without the two of you, Lord Benhou can sweep the world.

However, I did not expect that after the invasion of Hedong, there would be no harvest at all. Instead, food and grass would need to be transported from Taiyuan to support the army. Although Lu Bu didn't say anything, he felt very shameless.

On the 24th, the two armies of Lu Bujun arrived at their destination almost simultaneously.

After the army rested for one day, the next day, the two army simultaneously launched an attack on their target city.

In the face of the Lv Bu army's attack, Jiangyi and Linfen were already ready. Although Lu Bu is strong, it is only in terms of his personal combat power and the command of cavalry, and he still has a lot of deficiencies in the command of the infantry, especially in the siege of the city.

Although Cao Xing was good, there was still a slight gap compared with Tian Yu. In addition, Jiangyi City had 20,000 troops. Facing Lu Bu's 30,000 troops, Tian Yu did not feel much pressure.

The same is true for Yang Feng of Linfen. Although there is only an army of 10,000, he has fought in the North and South under the command of Huangfu Chaobo in recent years, and coupled with the influence of Huang Zhong and Pang Tong, he is no longer the Yellow Turban thief in the past. Ten thousand troops can still be able to defend the 20,000 enemy siege.

Therefore, although Lu Bu's army went south to Hedong aggressively, he didn't get the slightest benefit in Hedong.
