Chapter 103, the army will be on three roads, and Xiaopei is surrounded by urgent troops

*

Early the next morning, at the fifth watch, Kong Lian lent Gao Shun the opportunity to deliver medicine and met Lu Bu.

Lu Bu got the report from Chen Gong, and he had already checked the spies and the letter review, summoned the civil and military, discussed for half a night, and decided to attack Liu Bei and resist Cao Cao.

Kong Lian offered a plan, and presented Qi Han's letter, Lu Bu looked at it and groaned for a long time, and decided to reject last night's plan and listen to what Qi Han said.

Hao Meng accepted a lot of bribes from Yuan Shu earlier, and he was always ambitious, so he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to find an opportunity to get rid of Lu Bu, but who expected that the arrangement was not appropriate, so he was taken down by Cao Xing and Zhang Liao on this day and went directly to prison.

Hao Meng has always been pampered, and he is not clean. Several dark piles around Lu Bu couldn't stand the inspection, and he thought that Lu Bu had found traces, so he didn't dare to complain, but he secretly hated it.

Lu Bu was in full swing, ignoring the opposition of Chen Gong, and immediately accepted Kong Lian's plan and raised troops against the enemy in three ways.

The first route is led by Zang Ba and goes to Taishan County.

Zang Ba was originally born in Taishan thieves, and was commensurate with the four Taishan brothers Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li, and Chang Xuan, Qi Han planned to ask him to persuade those four people to surrender, and led tens of thousands of Taishan thieves to surrender to Lu Bu. After meeting the troops, they took the counties of Yanzhou in the east and attacked Cao Cao's base camp.

On the second road, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Hou Cheng led the army to attack Xiaopei and Liu Bei.

Qi Han planned to hand over Xuzhou peacefully to Liu Bei, but it was only time. Regarding this, Zhao Yun had already informed Liu Bei. But he obviously didn't believe Qi Han, and still chose to cooperate with Cao Cao to destroy Lu Bu.

In this way, it was not that Qi Han didn't want to help him, but that Lu Bu had hated him to death. Moreover, Liu Bei and Cao Cao should cooperate with each other, and they have to fight. Therefore, among the three roads, there must be one way to attack Liu Bei.

was also worried about this section, afraid that Zhao Yun would be difficult to do, so Qi Han left a book and returned to Tancheng privately, but did not inform him of the reason, lest Liu Bei get the news and guide Lu Bu to lose inside and outside and fall into a critical situation.

On the third road, Wei Xu and Song Xian led the army west to take Runan and Yingchuan.

This way, the people and horses went straight to the point, wanting to make Cao Cao go head-to-head. He came from the west, and I went from the west, and the two armies met to fight a beautiful encounter. And Yanzhou has Taishan thieves and Zang Ba attacking, Cao's army is attacked by the enemy, which will definitely shake the morale of the army and make it difficult to gather morale. There is a three-point chance of winning. No matter how bad it is, he can drag Cao Cao a little for a while.

Lu Bu led 5,000 elite soldiers to Liang State, and was in the center as the general strategy of the three routes. No matter which side is in an emergency, you can rush to help.

In this way, it may be able to compete with Cao Cao's army.

As for Chen Gong, he was assigned to defend the city with Cao Xing and Cheng Lian. Strictly prevent Cao Cao's army from attacking.

Qi Han decided on this tactic, but in fact, he had little chance of winning in his heart.

What he was most afraid of was that Cao Cao didn't care about Yanzhou, so he took Xuzhou first, and then went back to Shandong.

After all, even if the men and horses of the Taishan thieves are added, the total of the Lu army is only seventy or eighty thousand. Except for the elite cavalry and the headquarters of the state, as well as a small number of Xiliang troops, they are all miscellaneous soldiers recruited from everywhere. This number is still the case of the successful surrender of the Taishan thief.

In addition, there is a Liu Bei. After he returned to Xuzhou, with the assistance of Mi Zhu and others, in addition to 5,000 miscellaneous cavalry, he also recruited thousands of militiamen, and there were more than 10,000 people.

And Xiaopei, where Liu Jun is located, is located in the key passes of Henan, Yan and Xu, and its strategic location is extremely important. If it can't be attacked for a long time, it will become a big disaster. Therefore, the elite camp was sent, and Gao Shun and Zhang Liao attacked together.

In short, Lu Jun, Cao Jun, and Liu Jun are fighting hard, no matter what, it will be an extremely difficult battle.

But this three-way strategy for raising troops is already the best strategy Qi Han can think of.

Lu Bu listened to what Kong Lian said, and didn't ask if he came up with it himself, stared at Qi Han's letter for a long time, and finally rolled the letter into his armor and put it close to him. He ordered his subordinates to erect trumpets, gather military generals, and assign tasks.

Gao Shun rested for a few days and recovered early. led a thousand dead soldiers in the camp and stood in front of the camp with a solemn look on his face.

Lu Bu took the stage to take the oath, agitated the three armies, and all the people shouted in unison, and the momentum was like thunder. Everyone led their ranks, and they were all sent away.

***

After dividing the troops with Lu Bu and others, Zang Ba and Gao Shun led their men and horses to the territory of Lanling, and were about to say goodbye at the fork in the road, when they suddenly saw a person and a horse standing at the boundary monument in front of them, the horses were slender and tall. Looking from afar, it is handsome and elegant, and the style is unparalleled.

Gao Shun's eyes lit up, he slapped his horse forward, and said happily: "Son, why are you here?"

But I saw that Qi Han's outfit was over, dressed in white and armor, sitting on horseback, with a dark blue robe draped in the wind. The right arm was bulging, as if it was equipped with a machine bracket and crossbow. The heroic posture is sassy, but the face is too fair, the long eyebrows are in the sideburns, the phoenix eyes are mighty, the handsome is too handsome, but the momentum is overwhelming, Lang smiled and arched his hand: "General Gao is great." ”

Gao Shun was in good spirits, and said loudly: "Okay! Brother Tuo Konglian will take care of it, and it doesn't hurt to kill Liu Bei's husband for a day and a night." He sent Diao Chan into the mountain, but he was ambushed by a plot, knowing that Liu Bei was killed, and he went to take revenge.

Qi Han said: "Kong Lian is just prescribing medicine. It is clear that there is someone else who takes care of you. ”

Gao Shun's eyes widened suddenly, stunned on the ground, a black-colored face, burning red like a shrimp.

Qi Han was embarrassed when he saw him mention Diao Chan, and couldn't help but raise his head and laugh.

After two sentences, Gao Shun, the big man, was still shy, and Zhang Liao, Zangba and others had already greeted him.

Zhang Liao glanced at Qi Han slantedly, and there was a fierce anger in his long eyes: "Where does Qi Gongzi want to go?"

The first time I saw this son-in-law wearing armor and a shirt, he was as rich as jade, heroic, and had another momentum.

But he was friendly with Chen Gong, and under his influence, he always felt that Qi Hanzhi was close to the demon, and getting close to Wen Hou was another plan.

Qi Han ignored him with an indifferent expression, nodded towards Zang Ba and said, "I will go to Mount Tai with General Zang." ”

Zhang Liao said: "Taishan thieves don't like outsiders. ”

Qi Han glanced at him, crossed his arms, and a smile on the corner of his lips, staring at him without speaking.

Gao Shun saw that the atmosphere between the two was tense, and he was about to say something to ease, but he heard Zang overbearing: "Gongzi Qi is resourceful, it's just right to go with me." ”

He has been away from the Taishan thieves for a long time, and he has not seen Sun Guan, Chang Xian and others for a long time, and he is not sure whether he can convince them. Seeing Qi Han at this moment, he felt inexplicably at ease, Qi Han can speak well, with him, he will persuade the four people to surrender a few more points.

Zhang Liao's face did not change, and he said coldly: "Zang Ba, this battle is about survival, you can do it yourself." ”

After saying that, the reins were gone. Gao Shun was also in a hurry to leave, and immediately said goodbye to Qi Han and Zangba, led the team of people, and Hao Hao Tang went west.

**

In the afternoon, the sun is dazzling, and the cold wind is solemn.

Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Hou Chengqi suddenly arrived and killed Pei County in three ways, which caught Liu Bei off guard.

First of all, Zhang Liao led 8,000 iron cavalry and infantry to cross Weishan Lake, with great fanfare, and rushed to attack the south gate of Pei County.

The defenders closed the city gate and hid at the head of the city to release arrows, but Zhang Liao's soldiers all stopped at one shot, and they missed the shot, just wasting arrows. The guard was in a hurry and sent someone to report to Liu Bei, while ordering him to close the door and not go out.

However, Zhang Liao used soldiers like a god, how could he give him a chance to react. Immediately ordered to set up a formation and call for battle under the city. Within half an hour, if Liu Jun did not dare to fight, he would set up a ladder and storm the city gate.

Zhang Fei was angry when he heard the news, regardless of Liu Bei's obstruction, he was arrogant, ordered his men and horses, and hurried to the south gate to fight.

At the same time, the north gate is in an emergency.

Hou Cheng led all the way to Zhaoyang Lake and attacked at the north gate.

In desperation, Liu Bei hastily discussed with Mi Zhu, Sun Qian and others, and ordered Guan Yu to lead 5,000 people to the enemy.

As a result, there are only more than 2,000 people left in Liu Bei's headquarters, and if he wants to deal with the closure, there is also some lack of spare strength.

Zhao Yun stood beside Liu Bei, his brows slightly locked, and his heart was uneasy for a while.

Last night, Qi Han said goodbye without saying goodbye, and left a letter to return to Tancheng. Today, Xiao Pei's military situation is urgent, and Lu Jun forcibly came to commit it, does this matter have anything to do with Qi Han?

But Qi Han promised himself that he would help Liu Bei take Xuzhou, how could he suddenly help Lu Bu to fight Xiaopei?

Zhao Yun's fists were secretly clenched, and his heart was slightly confused.

If it is really Qi Han's handiwork...... I'm afraid there will be a trick.

Zhao Yun pondered for a moment the strong generals under Lu Bu, analyzed it slightly, and suddenly said: "Envoy, can Ximen send more people?"

The east of Xiaopei is adjacent to Weishan and Zhaoyang two lakes, flows through Surabaya, and the water is diverted as a moat, which is equivalent to having a moat at the east gate, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Only the south, north and west gates have an opportunity.

Liu Bei was stunned, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "Zilong, what do you mean by this......

Jian Yong's face turned pale when he heard this: "General Zilong is saying that there is something wrong with Ximen!"

Zhao Yun nodded: "If you send troops in the morning, you should arrive after noon." Zhang Liao and Hou Cheng should not wait until this moment to attack. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the map and said at a point in Yusang, "The enemy is wading through the water, and if you want to attack the west gate, you need to take a long detour." Zhang Liaohou Cheng must have made an appointment with someone, and waited for another military general to arrive at the West Gate before attacking the city together. ”

When the words fell, Zhao Yun sighed in his heart, if this was the case, it must be Qi Han's strategy.

Liu Bei's face changed slightly: "It's so dangerous! I can't imagine that Lu Bu has such wolf ambitions." I am not willing to take away Xuzhou, I am not the same as the outside, I will lend Xiaopei to me on the face, and I will kill them all in secret!"

As he spoke, his face was frightened, and tears were glistening.

Zhao Yun said: "How many people are left to make the king? Yun led it to the West Gate to fight." ”

Liu Bei was extremely moved, grabbed his hand, and patted it tightly: "Zilong, the second brother and the third brother led a large group of men and horses away, and now there are only two thousand militia left." Such a heavy task is entrusted to you!"

Zhao Yun said: "Let you rest assured." ”

When the words fell, he did not receive the soldiers, but went with him to the village and ordered two thousand old and weak to go to the west gate.

On the way, he met the small soldiers sent back by the guard of the West Gate to report the news, panicked, climbed down his horse with a rolling belt, and said: "My lord! There are more than 1,000 iron horsemen in heavy armor at the West Gate, all of them tall and big, and their momentum is terrifying. It is Gao Shunlu, and there is a big word 'trapped' on the flag...... Fighting under the city!"

Trapped in the camp.

Liu Bei's face was already as dead as ashes.

Don't drink alcohol. Not fed. The most arduous training, the most stoic and sharp cavalry, Gao Shun's group of strong men, no matter the armor, fighting equipment are all refined and neat, every attack, invincible. It is called trapping, which is the formation of others, and it is also the meaning of abandoning one's life and trapping oneself in the array!

Liu Bei's hand pressing the sword trembled slightly.
