The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Huguan was still lost. Zhang Yan led various troops in Montenegro and finally chose to withdraw from Huguan.

Zhang Yan's troops lost tens of thousands of people.

After Yuan Shao and others led their troops to pursue and kill them for a while, they regained control of the counties in Shangdang County.

When news of the fall of Huguan reached Zhou Cheng's ears, Zhou Cheng had already chased the Xiongnu for more than 200 miles.

As for the cavalry around Humphrey, there would be no more than five hundred, and they were all scattered in various directions to avoid pursuit.

Zhou Cheng gave up the pursuit and chose to return to join Tian Chou.

At this time, there was an additional official in Tian Chou's army.

This man's surname was Xu, his name was Huang, and his courtesy name was Gongming. He was quite powerful and good at using a big axe. It was Tian Chou who took the initiative to defect to him on the way to the rendezvous.

……

In August 190 AD, Zhou Cheng led his army to arrive outside Luoyang City. At the same time, Zhou Cheng sent Wen Sheng as envoy to the Guandong vassal alliance to explain to them the pros and cons, as well as Zhou Cheng's position.

More than 100,000 troops and horses were placed outside the city.

At the same time, siege equipment such as trebuchets, manholes, and Linchong are all in very conspicuous positions.

Is this showing off one's power? Or are you threatening Niu Fu? Or maybe both.

Of course, the possibility of Zhou Chengzhen attacking Luoyang cannot be ruled out.

In fact, Han Xian hoped to attack Luoyang.

Luoyang is the capital city with countless dignitaries. If you can break through Luoyang, you will definitely be able to grab a lot of things.

However, Zhou Cheng had no plans to attack the city.

He was just posing with his military horse and flexing his muscles, that's all.

While putting pressure on Niu Fu and others, he also let Dong Zhuo know how strong he was.

However, when Zhou Cheng's army arrived outside Luoyang City, the civil and military ministers and dignitaries in the city were extremely nervous.

They are all afraid that Luoyang will fall.

Lu Zhi put on his armor himself and went to the top of the city to observe Zhou Cheng's military situation.

Lu Zhi shook his head and sighed:"I didn't expect that in just a few years, this thief would already have such a strong military."

Experts watch the door, while laymen watch the excitement.

In Zhou Cheng's military formation, banners were spread widely.

Flags can not only guide the direction in battle, but also disrupt enemy rebels.

The large number of flags makes it easier for people to misjudge the number of enemy troops and the positions within the formation. This proves that Zhou Cheng's subordinates already have talents who can understand the formation of troops.

This was a good thing for Zhou Cheng, but it was bad news for the court.

Niu Fu opened the city gate, led Guo Si, Li Jue and others out of the city, and said with a smile:"General Zhou, the women and scribes you need are already in preparation and will be delivered soon. Please wait a little longer."

Zhou Cheng said confidently:"The imperial court has appointed me as General Zhenbei. I want to go to Luoyang to rest. What's wrong? Besides, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang. Recruiting a random group can be enough to meet the reward. Could it be that Dong Zhuo deliberately deceived me?" ? Still think it is difficult for our troops to conquer Luoyang City?"

What does it mean to recruit a group of people at random?

Niu Fu's eyebrows twitched, and he thought to himself: It's true that the traitorous nature is hard to change, and he wants to rob Luoyang again!

However, Jia Xu on the tower didn't think so.

In Jia Xu's opinion, Zhou Cheng only used heavy troops to suppress the city to bargain with Dong Zhuo.

As long as you can agree to the conditions, everything will be easy to negotiate.

On the contrary, if you don't agree, there will be a risk of attacking the city.

Niu Fu is not a person who is good at making decisions, so he mostly consults Jia Xu.

Niu Fu asked Jia Xu:"Wen He, in your opinion, is it possible for Zhou Cheng to attack the city?"

Jia Xu replied:"Zhou Cheng does not follow common sense. If he wants to attack the city, it is not impossible."

"So what to do." Niu Fu walked up and down the tower, looking upset.

Jia Xu said:"In Xu's opinion, it would be better to send someone to discuss with him, which can not only slow down the attack, but also find out the reality of the moth thieves and their horses.

Niu Fu asked again:"Who is the right person to send?""

Jia Xu looked at Guo Si, Li Jue, Hu Zhen and others. Guo Si tilted his head, Li Jue also avoided it, and Hu Zhen was unwilling to go.

Jia Xu said,"I will let Xu make a trip on my behalf to delay it for the Lord. time."

After saying that, Jia Xu mounted his horse and drove away from the city.

Jia Xu's horse was not very fast.

At this time, Dian Wei stopped Jia Xu and asked,"Who is coming? Tell me your name quickly.""

Jia Xu replied:"I am Zang Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe, a girl from Liangzhou."

Jia Xu? Jia Wenhe?!

Zhou Cheng looked at Jia Xu seriously, and then said to Jia Xu:"Here, kidnap me."

"Here."Soon, moth thieves surrounded Jia Xu, tied him up, and crushed him in front of Zhou Cheng.

Jia Xu asked loudly:"General, what is the meaning of this?"

Jia Xu never thought that he would be arrested directly without even giving him a chance to fight wits and courage. How uncomfortable it would be. How uncomfortable it would be.

……

At the same time, Sishui Pass.

Dong Zhuo had received the report. Zhou Cheng led the army and arrived outside Luoyang City. However, he did not attack the city immediately. Instead, he urged Luoyang to hand over 30,000 women and 2,000 scribes as soon as possible.

"Although Zhou Cheng is too arrogant, this man is unstoppable, my lord.……"

Before Li Ru finished speaking, he heard Lu Bu snort coldly:"Sir, why do you need to have other people's ambitions to destroy your own prestige? They are just thieves and are worthless. When I personally lead an army, I will definitely defeat them.
