After arriving in Xinye, Liu Bei treated Zhuge Liang like an elder, the two of them ate together, slept together, and talked about world affairs together all day long, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were very unhappy. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Under Zhuge Liang's persuasion, Liu Bei recruited more than 3,000 militiamen, who were personally trained by Zhuge Liang and practiced formations every day to guard against Cao's attack.

On this day, Tanma suddenly came to report, saying that Cao Cao sent Xiahoudun to lead 100,000 troops to kill Xinye. Zhuge Liang had already thought of a strategy to retreat from the enemy, but he was worried that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would not obey his orders, so he borrowed a sword and a seal letter from Liu Bei, and gathered the generals to listen to the order.

Zhuge Liang saw that all the generals had arrived, and ordered: "There is a mountain called Yushan on the left side of Bowangpo, and there is a forest called Anlin on the right, Guan Yu led a thousand men and horses to ambush in Yushan, and when the Cao army arrived, let them go first." Their baggage and grain and grass must be behind, as long as they see a fire in the south, they will lead their army to attack and burn Cao's army's grain and grass. ”

Zhang Fei led a thousand men and horses to ambush in the valley behind Anlin, and as long as he saw a fire in the south, he led his army to attack and went to the place where the Cao army in Bowang City was hoarding grain and grass, and set fire to their grain and grass. Guan Ping and Liu Feng led 500 men and horses, prepared things to ignite the fire in advance, and waited on the left and right sides behind Bowangpo, and when Cao Bing arrived at the first shift, they could set fire. ”

Subsequently, he sent people to Fancheng to transfer back Zhao Yun and make him the vanguard of the front, but he could not win but could only lose. Then he said: "The lord and the lord have unified the people as the backup, and everyone must act according to the plan, and there must be no mistakes." ”

Guan Yu asked: "We all went out of the city to meet the enemy, may I ask the military advisor what he is doing?"

Zhuge Liang replied: "I only sit in the county seat. ”

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "We all went to fight, but you are sitting at home, so comfortable!"

Zhuge Liang said: "The sword and the seal letter are here, and those who disobey the military order will be killed!"

Liu Bei said: "Haven't you heard the saying that in the midst of strategizing, you must win a victory thousands of miles away? ”

Guan Yu said to Zhang Fei: "Let's see if his strategy is good or not, and it's not too late to ask him when the time comes." ”

Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei: "The lord will lead his troops to camp at the foot of Bowang Mountain today, and at dusk tomorrow, as soon as Cao's army arrives, the lord will abandon the camp and leave, as long as he sees the fire, he will immediately return to the army to cover the killing." Mi Zhu and Mi Fang and I led 500 soldiers to guard the county seat. ”

At the same time, Zhuge Liang ordered Sun Gan and Jian Yong to prepare a celebration feast and arrange a merit book.

Xiahoudun led the army to Bowangpo, divided half of the elite soldiers into the front team, and the rest of the men and horses protected the grain cart and followed up. It was autumn at this time, and the west wind was blowing slowly, and suddenly I saw dust flying in front of me. Xiahoudun put the men and horses away and asked the guide, "What kind of place is this?"

The guide officer replied: "The front is Bowangpo, and the back is Luochuankou." ”

Xiahoudun ordered Yu Ban and Li Dian to hold the position, and urged the horse to come to the front of the formation, and he saw a team of men and horses from a distance, led by Zhao Yun. Xiahou scolded and said, "You people follow Liu Bei, like a lonely ghost. ”

Zhao Yun was furious, and the two fought for a few rounds, Zhao Yun ran away, and Xiahoudun chased closely behind. Zhao Yun ran for about ten miles, returned to the horse and fought again, and Zhao Yun ran again in a few rounds.

Xiahoudun saw the enemy formation like herding sheep, and laughed: "Today I will definitely fulfill my promise to the lord and capture Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang!" After speaking, he waved his army and rushed to kill.

Zhao Yun came to fight Xiahoudun, that is, in two rounds, and then he was defeated and left. Xiahoudun was bent on making meritorious contributions, and seeing that the enemy had few and weak soldiers, he naturally pursued him.

Li Dian hurriedly reminded: "Zhao Yun was defeated so quickly, he must be inducing our army to go deeper, the general must not enter lightly, I am afraid that there will be an ambush." ”

The rise of Xiahou's slaughter, and the earnestness of meritorious service, shouted: "The enemy army is like a lamb, although it is ambushed on all sides, why am I afraid?"

When Yu Ban saw this, he was shocked, and he couldn't help but touch the bag on his chest, and exclaimed: "The lord is really a god, there are really people who lure the enemy, and General Xiahoudun really underestimated the enemy's advance." ”

When pursuing, there was a sudden cannon shot, and I saw Liu Bei leading an army to rush out of the ground. Although Liu Bei suddenly killed, Xiahoudun's soldiers and horses were strong and fearless.

When the two sides received the enemy, Xiahoudun took the lead, rushed to Liu Bei, and shouted: "Big-eared thief, today's new hatred and old hatred, settle it together." ”

Liu Bei was Xiahoudun's opponent, and after just taking a move, he shouted: "Retreat, retreat!"

Xiahoudun's morale soared, and he said to Li Dian: "Just this ambush soldier, if you don't go to Xinye tonight, you will not quit!" So, he urged the soldiers and horses to move forward quickly and chase after Liu Bei and Zhao Yun, who were defeated and retreated.

At this time, Yu Ban was already trembling with excitement, and shouted: "The lord is really a god and a man, and everything is expected." General Xiahou walks slowly, I have the secret order of the lord here, if you don't listen, don't blame the ruthless military law. ”

Only then did Xiahoudun stop his momentum and exclaimed, "The lord has a secret order?"

When all the generals gathered, Yu Ban said to Xiahoudun, Li Dian, and Le Jin: "When I came, the lord gave me a trick. told me, if Liu Bei and others retreated into Bowangpo in a row, they would open their bags and act according to the plan. ”

The generals couldn't help but tremble, and said in unison: "The lord is like a god, hurry up and open the bag to see." ”

Yu Ban hurriedly opened the bag and said, "The lord said that General Xiahoudun will definitely attack the enemy lightly. ”

After everyone heard it, they looked at the bag again, and looked at Xiahoudun with strange eyes. Xiahoudun sweated on his forehead, hurriedly wiped it, and said embarrassedly: "Ah...... This one...... That, blame me for being reckless......"

Li Dian couldn't help but say: "The lord is really a god and a man, and even General Xiahoudun is irritable. ”

Le Jin trembled and said: "It is General Xiahoudun who is irritable, and the enemy must think that our army is in a plan." According to the plan of the lord, if the plan is calculated, the situation can be reversed. ”

Xiahoudun was even more embarrassed, so he hurriedly said: "The lord is like a god, and we can't compare, so I act quickly according to the plan, and everyone goes hand in hand." ”

In order to make meritorious contributions and atone for his sins, Xiahoudun selected a thousand elite and daring men from the 100,000 army, pushed the grain cart loaded with grain and grass and weeds into the depths of Bowangpo, and deliberately trampled on the dust and smoke to make it difficult to see people. Xiahoudun saw that the road was getting narrower and narrower, and there were flammable dry reeds everywhere, and he immediately sweated again. The heart says that the Lord is a god and a man, if it were not, I would surely be defeated. He swore that next time he would not be irritable, and he would fight steadily.

As soon as I thought of this, I heard a shout of killing on the slopes on both sides. I saw a large fireball coming down the slope, and then the reeds on both sides burst into flames, for a while. There were fires everywhere.

The fire was together, but Xiahou was calm in shock, and shouted: "Don't panic, start acting!"

The members of the death squad are all elites and psychologically prepared, so they are not afraid of fire. However, he still pretended to be panicked and shouted: "I've been tricked, retreat, retreat!"

So, they shouted and pretended to trample on each other. There was a miasma of smoke, a fire was filled, and there was more smoke, and the enemy could see it clearly.

Sure enough, Zhao Yun, who had been waiting for a long time in front, saw the fire and shouted: "The military advisor's clever plan!" and returned to the army to kill.

Xiahoudun was overjoyed, turned around and left, the fire rose into the sky, the smoke was filled in an instant, and he couldn't see people clearly. Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and others only heard miserable screams, and shouted for help, thinking that the fire plan had succeeded and the enemy army had been chaotic. Therefore, according to the strategy, he rushed out left and right to chase and kill Xiahoudun's defeated army.

Xiahoudun led a thousand people who dared to die, specially created a big movement, and retreated in defeat. Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu did not doubt him, so they merged and chased after him. Who knew that after chasing out of Bowangpo Sanli, all of a sudden, the left and right cannons rumbled, and Yu Ban, Le Jin, and Li Dian would kill out.

Cao's army was not chaotic, the soldiers were strong and strong, while Liu Bei's army only had 5,000 people, and he was caught off guard that it was an opponent. Even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei joined forces, they were defeated by Xiahoudun and others, so they could only take the road and get away.

At the head of Xinye City, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei saw Bowangpo soaring into the sky, Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and smiled: "Lord, it's also dark, you can go to the celebration banquet and wait for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and other generals to come back." ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed and said, "Let's go, let's go and drink two cups first!"

As soon as I walked to the city gate, I heard someone shouting: "Second general, third general is back!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed, so he called to open the city gate to greet him. Suddenly, two horses flew into the city with the grizzled Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said to Liu Bei: "The two generals are brave, look at it, their faces are gray and black. I can't wait to report the good news. ”

Liu Bei laughed: "Breaking the enemy of 100,000, Kong Ming is the first achievement, at the celebration banquet in a while, drink a few more glasses." ”

Who knows, Zhang Fei was furious, and Guan Yu was trembling. As soon as the two of them heard it, there was still a celebration banquet, and they saw the two of them riding their horses and going towards Zhuge Liang, one with a knife, the other with a spear, sharpening the knife Huo Huo to Brother Zhu. Zhang Fei shouted: "What kind of bullshit celebration banquet, Zhuge Liang, you shameless boy, lie to my eldest brother, suffer death!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were furious, and they were about to kill Zhuge Liang, who had harmed the eldest brother.

"What are you doing!" Liu Bei protected Zhuge Liang behind him and said, "What are you two going to do?

Guan Zhang didn't dare to rush into Liu Bei, stopped the horse, and rolled the saddle down. Zhang Fei was the first to say angrily: "Big brother, you have been deceived, this Zhuge Liang is a liar." You are not like a fish in water at all, Zhuge Liang is even if it is water, it is also boiling water. ”

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes, turned his head to the side, hugged his fists and said, "Big brother, we carried out Zhuge Liang's order, but we were defeated. ”

Liu Bei shouted, only then did he understand what Zhang Fei meant before. He trembled in his heart, and hurriedly threw Zhuge Liang's hand, and his eyes became confused, angry, and confused.

"Is this impossible?" Zhuge Liang shouted without shaking his fan.
