Li Jing marched along the land and water of the Yellow River, and his troops marched rapidly, and it took only three days to arrive from Yecheng to Huai County, the seat of Hanoi County.
Almost all the troops of the Western Han Dynasty were gathered in the three checkpoints of Tiger Prison, Chencang and Tongguan, and even Luoyang and Chang'an were only about 20,000 recruits to guard, not to mention the small county towns under the rule of Hanoi County, more than five or six hundred county soldiers, as little as two or three hundred people, in the face of the mighty 150,000 Eastern Han Dynasty army, even the mantis arm as a car was not counted, and the wind fell along the way, allowing the Eastern Han army to drive straight in.
Tiger Pass is located in the territory of Xingyang, and Hanoi County across the Yellow River, the two places are only seventy or eighty miles apart, climb the high mountain to the north and look into the distance, and even can see the banner of the Han army, which is wriggling westward like a long dragon.
After receiving the scout's report, Yang Su was still a little unconvinced, and personally climbed a high mountain to the west of the Tiger Prison Pass to look north.
At this time, it is early autumn, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the sky is clear, as far as the eye can see, I can see the winding Yellow River like a giant dragon rushing to the east, thousands of sails on the river are racing, and the warships are like shuttles; On the north bank of the Yellow River, the flags are unfurled, people shout and neigh, and the brigade of people and horses stretches for more than ten miles, which is magnificent.
"It's over, it's over, the general trend is gone, and there is no way to return to the sky" Yang Su was in a hurry, his eyes were dark, but fortunately, the entourage on the left and right did not fall to the ground.
On the north bank of the Yellow River, Li Jing's army was rapidly marching towards Mengjin and pointing at Luoyang.
Outside the Tiger Prison Pass, Gao Chong, Yue Yun, Gao Changgong, Feng Sheng and other four generals are each leading 80,000 soldiers and horses to call the battle, and there are enemies on the left and right, and everyone can see that the Luoyang Imperial Court has reached the end of the strong crossbow.
At this moment, another pro-soldier came to report quickly: "Qi Yang Gong, thousands of soldiers rushed through the inner door of the Tiger Prison and fled in all directions."
Yang Su looked lost, and said disheartenedly: "That's it, it's just that the rain girl in the world is married, let them go."
Yang Su still had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands at the beginning of spring, and this year was unfavorable, and he suffered several defeats under Yue Fei, losing 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses, and was chased by Yue Fei from Nanyang to Yingchuan.
Yang Su originally wanted to occupy the magpie's nest, and occupied Cao Cao's lair in the name of guarding Xuchang for Cao Cao, blocking Yue Fei's advance to Luoyang.
Unexpectedly, after taking over the military power from Cao Zhen for a day, Sun Bin and Yue Fei turned against Zhang Xutuo, resulting in a big defeat and leaving, and nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses lost half.
Fortunately, there is no endless road, Zhang Xutuo read the old love and explained Yang Su, and then fled back to the Tiger Prison Pass to gather the defeated soldiers.
It's just that most of the remnants of the Western Han Dynasty who escaped from Xuchang have seen the situation clearly, and understand that the Western Han Dynasty court is at the end of the road, and they will either take off their armor and return to their hometown, or they will fall into the grass, and let Yang Su do his best, but he has only gathered more than 40,000 soldiers and horses.
Yue Fei's main army was stationed in Chenliu, and sent Gao Chong, Yue Yun, Gao Changgong, and Feng Sheng to raise 80,000 troops to the officer's crossing, eyeing the tiger prison pass.
As long as the Tiger Prison Pass was broken, Yue Fei could come to Luoyang City, and Yang Jian had no choice but to order his son Yang Guang to forcibly recruit 20,000 strong soldiers in Luoyang and send them to the Tiger Prison Pass to help Yang Su defend the city.
Most of these recruits were forcibly conscripted into the army, and when they first came to the Tiger Prison, they were forced to obey Yang Su's iron-blooded methods and did not dare to make a reckless, but whenever there was a disturbance, they began to be restless.
It wasn't until yesterday that at noon it was rumored that Li Jing's army was preparing to attack Luoyang, and the military morale of the entire Tiger Prison Pass began to stir.
Yang Su also sent a few henchmen to suppress it at the beginning, but at night, the captain began to lead the team to escape, and even killed the partial generals who blocked it, and more than 3,000 people fled overnight, and there was already a situation of defeat like a mountain.
It was not long in the morning, Yang Su had just gone out to the mountains to overlook the military situation, and large-scale riots began to appear in the Tiger Prison Pass, and even a partial general rushed through the gate and led more than 1,500 people out of the West Gate of the Tiger Prison Pass and went to Li Jing in the direction of Hanoi.
After Li Jing took Yecheng, Yang Su had already realized that Luoyang was in danger of being attacked, but there were 150,000 soldiers of Yue Fei outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and even if Yang Su realized the danger, he could not do anything.
There are only 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses in their hands, and the veterans are panicked, and the recruits are full of resistance.
Hearing that Li Mu led more than 100,000 Tang troops to join Xiahou Yuan and Jingbu to march from Nanpi to Yecheng, and Cao Ren fought hard in Baimajin, Yang Su secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that the three forces would be defeated and wounded, and it would be best for Li Jing to be annihilated in Yecheng, so that Luoyang could rest easy.
In Yang Su's view, Yecheng is one of the few big cities in the world, with a population of as many as 300,000, second only to Luoyang, Chang'an, and Jinling, and ranks fourth in the world in terms of wealth and prosperity.
It is best to involve Yue Fei's army as well, so that the Eastern Han Dynasty can get a chance to breathe.
But what made Yang Su desperate was that what he was most worried about happened, Li Jing gave up Yecheng without hesitation, abandoned it like a shoe, did not fight with the Tang and Wei coalition forces at all, and marched towards Luoyang at the fastest speed.
For Yang Su, the current situation is no longer solvable.
The returning troops will defend Luoyang to the west, and the Yue Fei army outside the Tiger Prison Pass will immediately follow up and join forces with Li Jing's army to encircle Luoyang.
If he continued to hold the Tiger Pass, Li Jing could send a force of soldiers and horses to block the west gate of the Tiger Pass after crossing the Yellow River, and block the team inside the Tiger Pass with Yue Fei's army in the east, so that they could starve to death without attacking.
"Yang Gong, what should I do next?"
asked one of the generals anxiously.
Yang Su sighed: "What else can I do, the building will collapse, it is difficult to support alone, even if the gods are alive, this situation will not be able to come back to life."
Everyone who wants to go home will go home, and those who want to fall into the grass will go to be bandits, and I vow to fight Liu to the end."
Deng Ai took a step forward and arched his hand: "Yang Yanggong, I, I still have the last way, and now it's not to the point of breaking or breaking the jar."
"Hehe, what else do you have in mind," Yang Su asked with a wry smile.
Deng Ai stammered: "Give up Luoyang and go directly to Hangu Pass, guard the gate of Chang'an, and unite with the soldiers and horses in Chang'an City." ” Yang Su's face was gloomy: "Now we are already in the encirclement of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with Xu Huang and Guan Yu's 200,000 troops attacking Chencang in the west, Sun Wu has already led Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong to raise 100,000 troops to make a detour to settle down, preparing to attack Chang'an from the northwest."
Huo Quji's 80,000 soldiers and horses blocked Tongguan, the southeast gate of Chang'an, Li Jing's 100,000 men and horses were already less than 150 miles away from Luoyang, plus Yue Fei's corps to the east of Hugao Pass, nearly 600,000 Eastern Han Dynasty troops have blocked us from heaven to heaven and ground, even if we escape to Chang'an, it is just a few days to survive."
Seeing that Yang Su looked helpless, Deng Ai said the true purpose: "Yang Gong, the last general will return, there is still a place to go, I don't know whether to talk about it or not" "It's okay to be straight" "Xiang Yu, the monarch of the Great Xia Kingdom, is known as the descendant of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, is recruiting heroes, recruiting troops and horses, I heard that Shi Yi, Pang Tong and others under Liu Bei in the past went to defect, Yang, Yang Gong, you might as well take advantage of the fact that the encirclement has not yet closed, lead your troops to the north and merge the state, and go west from the grassland to Xiang Yu" Deng Ai stammered and said the purpose.
Yang Su was furious when he heard this: "Bold Deng Ai, I heard that Lu Bu's daughter Lu Lingqi went to Daxia to join Xiang Yu, and I heard that Lu Bu once planned to marry his daughter to you, are you planning to go to the Western Regions to relive the old relationship?"
Deng Ai hurriedly knelt down on one knee: "Yang Gong, please take a break from the anger of the thunder, Deng Ai is working hard to plan a way out for the soldiers, he is selfless, please Yang Gong Mingjian" Yang Su flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "How can the descendants of my Hongnong Yang clan go to Fanbang Barbarians, make people laugh at you, you have to go and take care of yourself, I, Yang Su, have already held the heart of death, and vow to live and die with Luoyang" A soldier next to him offered a plan: "Why don't Yang Gong lead the army to cross the Yellow River to the north and go north to Merge Zhou, enter Cao Cao's territory and temporarily take refuge, as long as the Eastern Han Dynasty army breaks through Luoyang and Chang'an, it will inevitably wave its army to the north and march towards Bingzhou, and Cao Cao will definitely treat Yang Gong with courtesy." ” Yang Su stroked his beard and groaned, and his fighting spirit ignited in his eyes again: "This is not a good way, it seems that there is only one way to go north and merge with the state in the whole world."
By the way, what's your name?"
The soldier replied: "If you go back to Yang Gong, the villain has the same surname as you, the single word is Fu, and his ancestral home is Tianshui Ji County." ” Yang Su praised: "At a time when the army is panicking, it is really rare that you can still be so calm."
From now on, I will definitely use you again."
"Thank you Yang Gong for your support," Yang Fu thanked him.

Due to the scarcity of grain and grass, Yang Su immediately issued an order to let go of all the forcibly recruited recruits, leaving only his own soldiers who had followed him for many years, and waited until midnight to quietly abandon the Tiger Prison Pass and go north, crossing the Yellow River from Wude County to the north to Huguan and enter Bingzhou to live.
Taking advantage of Yang Su's arrangement of soldiers and horses, Yang Fu quietly repaired a letter, sent a henchman to leave the Tiger Prison Pass in advance, and quickly went straight to Huaixian County, catching up with Li Jing's army, and telling Yang Su's whereabouts as his own surrender.
The west gate of the Tiger Prison Pass was opened, and the recruits who were forcibly recruited broke out of the pass in a swarm, and more than 10,000 veterans took the opportunity to escape, and the descendants who stayed to follow Yang Su were less than 30,000 soldiers, ready to wait until midnight to quietly abandon the Tiger Prison Pass and shake off the pursuit of Yue Fei's corps.
Seeing Deng Ai's hesitant expression, Yang Su said in a deep voice: "People have their own ambitions and can't be forced, since you have the heart to go to Xiang Yu, take the old department with you, and I will march to the state by myself."
"Thank you Yang Gongcheng," Deng Ai thanked him on the ground.
When the sun was waning, Deng Ai led more than 3,000 Lu Bu's old troops to take the lead in leaving the Tiger Prison Pass, and headed west in the direction of Luoyang, preparing to go north from Hangu Pass to Fengyi County, and go to the grassland to the distant Western Regions to join Xiang Yu.
Yang Su led nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the banners and drums were silent, and the horses and horses were silent, and they went out of the Tiger Prison Pass to the north to Benwude County, preparing to cross the Yellow River to the north and go north to merge with Cao Cao for the time being, and then plan for the future. t1706231537:
