Zhang Liao seized Guo Yan's camp, leaving Song Xian and Hou Cheng to stay behind, and turned west with 10,000 soldiers and horses, preparing to join Lu Bu outside Li Wei's camp.

Although Zhang Liao hurried slowly, by the time he arrived at the place where Lu Bu was arrayed, it was already past noon. When Lu Bu saw him coming, he asked curiously, "Wenyuan, how is the situation over there?" ”

"Return to Wenhou!" Hearing Lu Bu's question, Zhang Liao hurriedly replied: "The last general has eliminated Guo Yan's camp, except for Guo Yan who fled with more than ten cronies, most of the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses have surrendered. ”

After hearing Zhang Liao's words, Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Wen Yuan is really extraordinary, he killed Guo Yan as soon as he made a move." Then let's help me get rid of Li Dao. ”

Zhang Liao hurriedly replied: "The last general obeys the order!" ”

Lu Bu stared at the stockade set up on the hillside, frowned and said, "Li Dao is cunning and cunning, no matter how much I scold, he will not fight. The defense of the cottage is strict, and as soon as our army attacks the mountain, the arrows and stones are immediately falling, and the soldiers have suffered countless casualties......"

After listening to Lu Bu briefly explain the situation here, Zhang Liao pondered for a moment and said to Lu Bu: "Wen Hou, the last general thinks that there are masters in Li Dao's army to guide him, otherwise he and Guo Yan will not use the strategy of exhausting the army to make you exhausted yesterday. ”

"That's right," Lu Bu nodded and said to Zhang Liao's statement: "Last night in the barracks, Jun Sima said the same. Wen Yuan, since you have broken Guo Yanjun, can you still destroy Li Weijun again? ”

"Wen Hou, if you want to break Li Dao, I think you have to plan it." Zhang Liao said to Lu Bu: "We might as well pretend to be attacked in the rear and turn around and head east." Choose a dangerous place to ambush the soldiers and horses, and when Li Dao leads the troops to chase out, the front army turns around to meet the attack, and the ambush soldiers cut off his retreat, so that Li Dao can be captured. ”

"That's a brilliant plan!" After listening to Zhang Liao's strategy, Lu Bu couldn't help but applaud repeatedly. Later, he discussed with Zhang Liao where to place the ambush.

After a stick of incense, Lu Bu ordered the rear army to be changed to the front army, and the front army to the rear army, and immediately turned around and headed east. Li Wei, who was standing on the watchtower, saw that Lu Bu's soldiers and horses turned around and left, so he was about to transfer troops to harass him from the rear, but was stopped by Jia Xu: "The general is slow, Jia feels that there is something wrong with Lu Bu's situation today." ”

"What could be wrong?!" Li Wei waited for most of the day, and finally saw Lu Bu's army turn to the east, and thought that Guo Yan's troops and horses were attacking, forcing Lu Bu to turn back to meet the enemy. He also said to Jia Xu smartly: "Wenhe, you must have also seen the soldiers and horses that just arrived below, right?" I estimate that it was the soldiers and horses that Lu Bu used to guard against Guo Yan, and he probably waited for most of the day to see that Guo Yan had never left the village to meet the enemy, so he withdrew his troops back. I suspect that Guo Yan must have launched an offensive in Lü Bu's rear at this moment, forcing Lü Bu to temporarily withdraw from the siege. ”

Jia Xu patiently waited for Li Dao to finish speaking, and then said to him: "Although Jia Mouguan Lu Bu's soldiers and horses retreated, they retreated without chaos, and there was a fear of an ambush, so it was better not to attack easily." ”

Who knew that Li Dao said disapprerovitically: "Master Jia, don't worry, I just let the soldiers and horses follow the pursuit, once I see Lu Bu's army turn around, I will immediately retreat to the village, what can he do to me?" ”

Although he saw that Li Dao was so stubborn, Jia Xu, as a military advisor, still had to say what he should say, he bowed to Li Dao and said: "The general is the chief general of the whole army, where can he easily get into danger." In Jia's opinion, it is better to punish a partial general and lead thousands of soldiers and horses to follow. The general led another army to follow him, and even if the front army was ambushed, the rear army could rescue it. ”

Li Wei felt that Jia Xu's deployment made some sense, so he called his nephew Li Bei and said to him: "I will give you 5,000 soldiers and horses to pursue Lu Bu." ”

Li Bei saw that Lu Bu's soldiers and horses were tired of running for their lives yesterday, and thought that the task he had accepted could still torture Lu Bu to the point of misery, so he accepted the order without hesitation, and immediately went to order the soldiers and horses to prepare for the attack. After the shadow of Lu Bu's soldiers and horses could not be seen on the hillside, Li Bei took 5,000 cavalry out of the stockade and followed the route of Lu Bu's march to chase after him.

The cavalry walked more than ten miles, just past a dangerous enemy, suddenly Li Bei saw a large army in front of him, and when he looked closer, it turned out that Lu Bu was holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, riding a red rabbit horse, standing in front of the entire phalanx, and said to Li Bei: "I originally wanted to capture Li Dao, but who knew that the old one did not come, but a small one came." ”

When Li Bei heard Lu Bu say this, he didn't know that he had been tricked. He immediately turned his horse's head and shouted to the cavalry following him: "We have been tricked, retreat, retreat!" Lu Bu waved the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand forward, and the soldiers who were lining up behind immediately rushed forward with shouts.

Li Bei didn't run far, and suddenly a cannon shot sounded from the dangerous place ahead, and then rushed out of a group of men and horses. The leader was a handsome young general with a spear, and when he saw Li Bei coming, the other party shouted: "Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan are here, and the thief will not quickly dismount and surrender!" ”

In Li Bei's mind, Zhang Liao was a nobody, so he didn't take him seriously at all, and planned to use his subordinates to quickly break out of the encirclement set up by Zhang Liao and rush back to the cottage to join Li Dao.

Zhang Liao saw Li Bei's cavalry rushing towards him, pointed forward with the spear in his hand, and shouted: "Release the arrow!" With the shout, thousands of archers behind Zhang Liao released their arrows at the same time. The sharp arrows fell into the ranks of Li Bei's cavalry like flying locusts, and the screams were incessant for a while.

When Li Bei rushed in front of Zhang Liao, he was left alone, and the rest of the cavalry were either killed by random arrows or stopped by sharp arrows fired by Zhang Liao's subordinates. If Li Bei knew that Zhang Liao was powerful, he would have turned around and ran away, where would he dare to come forward to fight him.

Facing Li Bei who rushed over, Zhang Liao turned to the side slightly, flashed the spear stabbed by the other party, reached out and grabbed the other party's belt, lifted him up, threw him on the ground, and then shouted: "Tie up!" Immediately, a few soldiers came over and tied up Li Bei, who had fallen to the ground.

Seeing that Li Bei was captured, thousands of cavalry rushed up, wanting to snatch back their main general from Zhang Liao's hands, and the soldiers and horses of the two sides fought together.
