Chapter 431

Then, Zhao Yun and the others controlled the city gate, directly opened the city gate, lowered the drawbridge, and welcomed the main army and Su Xuan in.

"Lord! Fortunately, I didn't disgrace the mission! We have already taken Yangrenju!"

"In this battle, our army's deaths are 0, and only 7 were injured, all of which were minor injuries, and they will recover soon!"

"In addition, 1,245 enemy troops were killed, 3,755 enemy troops were surrendered, and the warhorses and money and food confiscated are still being counted and counted, which still takes time!"

Huang Zhong walked directly in front and reported to Su Xuan.

"Hmm!"

Su Xuan nodded and smiled: "Well done! The counting can be done slowly!"

"Remember to control the city gate on the other side too!"

"Then, send scouts to investigate the situation from Yangrenju to Yique Pass;"

"Draw a detailed and accurate map!"

Since he is not in a hurry to take Yique Pass, naturally he will not be in a hurry to raid now, and he can investigate the intelligence clearly first.

"Yes!"

Huang Zhong immediately accepted the order, gave an order to a personal guard beside him, and ordered him to handle this matter.

After doing this, Huang Zhong continued to look at Su Xuan and asked: "Lord! Then how should these captives and the money, food, and warhorses confiscated this time be handled? Should we send someone to send them back to Xinye first?"

"Hmm!"

Su Xuan nodded affirmatively: "Send 500 Xuanjia troops, still let Su Zhan lead, and cooperate with the Dark Guards and the firm to send the people and the extra money and food away!"

"In addition, Su Zhan!"

Speaking of this, Su Xuan looked at Su Zhan and said: "After you go back this time, mobilize another 10,000 infantry from Xinye, remember to bring enough carriages and ox carts; they don't need to be elite, just the infantry newly recruited last year will do;"

"At that time, these infantry can serve as our logistics troops to transport money, food, and captives for us, saving the main force from having to transport them every time!"

"The time to take Luoyang is not far away; at that time, we will strive to intercept more money, food, and population, and need more manpower to transport these."

"Yes!"

Su Zhan was a little unhappy when he heard the first half, because he also wanted to kill the enemy and make contributions, not do these logistics things, but when he heard the second half of Su Xuan's words, he was overjoyed and immediately accepted the order.

"Hmm! Rest for a night, and you will set off tomorrow morning!"

Su Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

His younger brother's ability is gradually being cultivated, but his temperament still needs to be polished so as not to be too impulsive.

It is a good thing to want to kill the enemy and make contributions, but you cannot be too impatient.

Early the next morning,

Su Zhan led 500 Xuanjia troops, escorting thousands of captives and a large amount of money, food, and warhorses, and left Yangrenju, rushing toward Nanyang.

"Let's go too! Go to Yique Pass and see!"

Su Xuan watched Su Zhan go away, then greeted Zhao Yun and the others.

"Yes!"

Huang Zhong and the others immediately accepted the order, left 1,000 Xuanwu Camp soldiers in Yangrenju to temporarily guard Yangrenju, so that there would be no problems in the rear, and then Su Xuan and the others led the main army to set off, spending half a day arriving in front of Yique Pass.

Looking at this majestic pass, Su Xuan frowned slightly: "This Yique Pass is indeed not as majestic as Hulao Pass, but it is not bad; if you want to attack it forcibly, if it were other warlords, it might not be possible to achieve it in a short time!"

"Indeed!"

Huang Zhong beside him also nodded: "Just the Yi River in front of the pass is a trouble; this Yi River is already within the range of an arrow from the pass!"

"Plus the width of this Yi River is no less than 40 meters; we must find a way to lay the bridge!"

Guo Jia beside him measured it and said: "We can use the floating bridge No. 2 built by the Military Equipment Department to lay the bridge; it should be enough!"

"However, we didn't bring this thing this time, I'm afraid we can only build it temporarily!"

Speaking of this, Guo Jia looked at Su Xuan and asked: "Lord, the army has craftsmen who know how to build this, right?"

"Hmm!"

Su Xuan nodded affirmatively; "Brought a few, just let the soldiers cooperate to build it!"

"If it really doesn't work, I can do it myself!"

In Su Xuan's forces, the most powerful in terms of military equipment and divine machines is actually Su Xuan himself.

Even Huang Chengyan and Su Mu are far inferior to Su Xuan.

"Let's not do that!"

Guo Jia heard this and quickly persuaded: "Let the people below do it; your status is different now, Lord! You can't lower your status to do these things anymore; doesn't it make the people below look incompetent?"

"Alright!"

Su Xuan nodded noncommittally: "Then let the craftsmen in the army build it! It is estimated that ten floating bridges are enough, and fire prevention measures must be done well;"

"In addition, just build some basic catapults and arrow towers, and battering rams!"

"Anyway, we still have more than a month, so we can take our time!"

"By the way, Hansheng, you can continue to train the soldiers."

"Haha! As you command!"

Huang Zhong and the others laughed loudly upon hearing this and immediately accepted the order.

At this time, on Yique Pass,

Li Xian looked at Su Xuan's army arriving, and didn't even make a tentative attack on the city, just camped 5 miles outside the pass, and then began to train soldiers and build military equipment, and was full of questions: "What is the situation with this Su Xuan? Is he preparing to stay outside this pass for a long time? He doesn't attack the city? Are you sure he is here to attack us?"

He expressed that he couldn't understand at all.

"Perhaps he was scared by our majestic pass? Or, scared by your prestige, General?"

The deputy general beside him heard this and flattered him with a flattering face.

Li Xian was just a young man; he might have some ability, but his current status mainly relied on his uncle Li Jue.

Hearing this flattery, he felt a little floating: "Haha! You said it well! I have long heard of Su Xuan's reputation; I originally thought this person was indeed a famous general, but today it seems that this person is just so-so!"

"Of course he knows how to fight; he should have attacked the city tentatively first to test the reality of the city, unlike him now? Completely like a layman, can't understand! Can't understand!"

"However, this is also a good thing! This time, let me use his head and reputation as a stepping stone to achieve my prestige! Hahaha!"

He seemed to have already seen the scene where he defeated Su Xuan, cut off his head, and shocked the world.

I believe that at that time, no one will say that he relied on his uncle to get to his current status.

He, Li Xian, relies on himself for everything.

2 days later,

Under Hulao Pass,

"Is there any news from Su Xuan?"

Yuan Shao summoned a person in charge and asked.

"Report to the Lord! Just now, news has come from General Su Xuan; he took Yangrenju two days ago, and at this time he should have arrived under Yique Pass!"

"I think it shouldn't take long to take Yique Pass, right?"

The person in charge of intelligence reported back.

"Heh!"

However, Yuan Shao sneered upon hearing this: "You look too highly at Su Xuan and too lowly at the danger of Yique Pass, right?"

"Yes! Yique Pass is indeed not as dangerous and difficult to attack as Hulao Pass, but as one of the eight passes of Luoyang, it is also easy to defend and difficult to attack!"

"Unless the Xiliang army in the pass are all straw bags, otherwise, even if Su Xuan fights hard, he probably won't be able to take Yique Pass for a month or two!"

He admitted that Su Xuan's troops were very elite, much stronger than his troops.

Hmm! It was Yuan Shao's own opinion.

But that was it.

"Yes! The Lord is wise!"

The person in charge of intelligence quickly flattered him, and then asked: "Then do we need to constantly send people to urge him to take Yique Pass as soon as possible and put more pressure on him?"

"In this way, it can also make him lose more, and weaken his military strength?"
