A heavy rain in the fifth year of Jian'an or the first year of Zhongjia actually lasted for seven or eight game days. At this time, the spring was cold and warm, and under the heavy rain, even the rivers around Silizhou in the north all rose.

In some areas, due to temperature, they are already ice everywhere, and it is very inconvenient whether it is marching, fighting, or daily life. Most people keep their doors closed. While avoiding the cold spring, the most important thing is to avoid military disasters.

Although Yang Rui and his 400,000 troops were well equipped, they lacked necessary precautions in the face of the sudden chilly spring rain. Many soldiers were infected with wind and cold. Fortunately, all kinds of supplies were brought in sufficient supply, so there would be no major problems.

This does not mean that other princes will not have any problems, especially the 300,000 troops commanded by Yuan Shu, Zhang Xun, Chen Ji and Lei Bo, who are in action, have been unable to capture Luoyang Imperial City for a long time. At this time, he encountered a chilly spring rain that had not been encountered for many years, and he encountered great difficulties a few days ago.

First of all, Zhang Xun, Chen Ji, Lei Bo and his 300,000 tribes had limited food and grass. After more than 10 days of siege, the food and grass supply they brought had long been exhausted. Especially in the following few game days, most of the food provided by Yuan Shu's tribe was reduced by half, and even half of the amount was difficult to achieve.

The second is the issue of keeping warm. Zhang Xun, Chen Ji, Lei Bo and other 300,000 people came from Yangzhou and Yuzhou. The temperature was actually much higher than that of Silizhou, which is close to the north. They were originally prepared for keeping warm, not to mention that they encountered the cold spring rain.

Therefore, a large number of diseases occurred among Yuan Shu's troops, and this disease did not determine the strength of the soldiers or the level of the soldiers, which depends entirely on the personal physical condition and tolerance.

After the next few game days, Yuan Shu's troops were planning to continue siege, even if they wanted to withdraw immediately, they would not be able to do it. At this time, the roads under the background of the game were washed away by rain and accumulated, and it was difficult to achieve normal marching. Before the heavy rain stopped, Yuan Shu's troops were already in trouble.

As for Cao Cao's three and four troops, although the overall situation is better, he is on the territory of Silizhou after all, and all kinds of materials nearby can be used.

Moreover, Cao Cao has always been strict in his military management and is concerned about the various equipment, supply and other conditions of the soldiers. Therefore, the overall situation of Cao Cao's various troops is better than that of the Yuan Shu troops around Luoyang Imperial City.

Of course, to be precise, it is just a little easier. You should know that Cao Cao was very urgent when dispatching various troops. In fact, the later supplies were not sufficient, and the supplies and supplies were also placed by Cao Cao in the rear army, so it was difficult to provide them under the heavy rain.

Overall, Cao Cao's situation was not very good. The problems that existed among Yuan Shu's tribes also existed in Cao Cao's tribes, but to a lesser extent, which was much worse than Yang Rui's tribes.

The heavy rains of seven or eight game days finally passed, and the weather was clear early in the morning. The bright sun in the sky suddenly returned, and there was a real breath of spring in March. Whether it was Yuan Shu's tribe, Cao Cao's tribe, or Yang Rui's tribe, they were actually relieved.

At this time, the one who knows the most clearly the movements of all parties is naturally Yang Rui. Although the heavy rain blocked the actions of the soldiers and horses of all parties, it did not affect the reconnaissance of the 50,000 Ethereal Secret Ninjas, the Yusu Reconnaissance Guard. Even during the heavy rain, the Ethereal Secret Ninjas did not interrupt the news.

"Report to the lord, the heavy rain has just stopped. Zhang Xun, Chen Ji and Lei Bo have led nearly 100,000 tribes respectively, heading towards several large and small town territories near the south side of Luoyang Imperial City. The Eagle Secret Ninja who is under his jurisdiction has been following him and sending the latest news back at any time.

According to the preliminary judgment of his subordinates, Yuan Shu's troops should have gone to various territories to grab grain supplies and other materials, and at the same time retreated to Dongling Pass, at least depending on the situation, they gave up and continued to attack Luoyang Imperial City.

Cao Cao, on the east side of Luoyang Imperial City, moved towards the imperial city after the rain stopped. His 70,000 cavalry and horses were still marching towards Luoyang, while the other 70,000 heavily armored infantry moved slowly towards Donglingguan.

According to conventional speculation, Cao Cao should not know the movements of Yuan Shu's troops for the time being, so his 70,000 to 80,000 cavalry may first encounter Yuan Shu's troops, and there will inevitably be a battle.

The three troops and horses of Yuan Shu retreated were not far apart. If they encountered Cao Cao's cavalry at that time, they would have a considerable advantage in number. Therefore, although the heavy rain prevented Yuan Shu's troops from siegeing the city, it might help them return to the territory of Yuan Shu in Yuzhou..."

Yusu's military investigation and guard general Yuan Shu and Cao Cao's movements of the two troops reported to Yang Rui as soon as possible, and made his own judgment.

According to the investigation of the Eagle Secret Ninja, the remaining soldiers of Chen Gong and others in Pingxian County were indeed evacuated from the county town as soon as Tianqing and headed quickly towards the Yellow River. It seemed that they would still retreat to the area of ​​Hanoi County and occupy a territory with the Yellow River natural chasm.

Yang Rui naturally would not care about the movements of Chen Gong and his subordinates. In fact, when the weather cleared, Yang Rui had already rushed towards Luoyang Imperial City, just to catch up with Cao Cao's subordinates as soon as possible.

After noon, under the rapid march, Yang Rui's troops were already close to Luoyang Imperial City less than 5,000 miles. Such a distance was nothing under the background of the game. If they kept rushing non-stop, they would definitely be able to reach Luoyang before dark.

At this time, Yang Rui also learned about the first confrontation between Yuan Shu's troops and Cao Cao's troops. The 70,000 or 80,000 cavalry heading north really encountered Yuan Shu's troops first, and soon gained an advantage in the encounter with 100,000 soldiers of Zhang Xun's troops, which led to the defeat of Zhang Xun's troops.

As expected by Yusu Jianwei, there were specific contacts between Yuan Shu's three troops. Zhang Xun's 100,000 troops fought hard based on the hill for half an hour. Almost ten or seven times, they finally waited for Chen Ji and Lei Bo's troops on both sides to help.

At this point, Yuan Shu's three troops almost surrounded Cao Cao's remaining more than 50,000 cavalry. Fortunately, his cavalry mobility is not comparable to ordinary soldiers. The two sides had a short battle. Under the huge gap in force, Cao Cao's troops threw down thousands of cavalry and retreated.

In fact, neither side took advantage of the situation. Yuan Shu's troops lost more than 70,000 yuan, and Cao Cao's cavalry also lost nearly 30,000 yuan. Although he was eventually defeated, he took advantage of the number of people.
