Tai Shi Ci slammed his fist on the table, "Yuan Shao, old man, the deception is too much, nearly 10,000 horses and horses of our army stationed in the three counties have all been killed, what are they going to do!" ”

Zhang Liao's face also had a flush, and suddenly he saw that Xiao Xiao seemed to be speechless, and asked, "What else is the matter?" ”

The little colonel hurriedly replied: "There is also an abnormal movement in Jingzhou Liu Biao, yesterday there were signs of the transfer of troops and horses in Wanxian County, and Huang Zu also led the men and horses of the headquarters to Wanxian. Early this morning, Huang Zu led 40,000 troops to march towards my Hongnong. ”

"Wow, even a dog like Liu Jingsheng dares to come and bully, and he is angry with me!" Tai Shi Ci was furious when he heard this.

Zhang Liao suddenly said in a loud voice: "Second brother, don't be reckless!" ”

Zhang Liao's shouting finally stopped Tai Shici, who was about to go out, and his handsome face became distorted with anger.

"Third brother, what can you do, you must clean up this group of bastards."

"Let me think about it." Zhang Liao opened his mouth, walked to the map again, and carefully examined it.

Although Tai Shici was angry, he also knew that he couldn't disturb Zhang Liao at this time, so he could only pick up a big kettle, raise his head and pour it, in a vain attempt to extinguish the anger in his heart with clear water.

Just when Tai Shici was about to get impatient, suddenly Zhang Liao slammed the table with his fist and roared: "! Since they are here, let's do it with them, who is afraid of whom! ”

Tai Shici's eyes lit up, and he suddenly came to his senses, and said: "Hahaha, third brother, it's a good point, just do it, what are you afraid of, the master is all over the world, and we can't discredit him!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Liao nodded vigorously, pointed to the map and explained to Tai Shici: "Now that the three counties have been lost, although Tongguan and Wuguan have heavy troops, even if they can be rescued, it will take at least two days. ”

Tai Shi Ci nodded.

Zhang Liao continued to explain: "If we hold on to Hongnong and wait for help, we will inevitably be attacked from both sides by Yuan Shao and Liu Biao. Cao Cao had just attacked Xiayingchuan, and he was going to build a capital in Xu County, so it should be impossible to send troops, but we had to guard against it. If he moves, then ......"

"Can't we just give up Hongnong?"

Nodding, Zhang Liao explained: "That's right, it's exactly the need to give up." Second brother, do you remember when the master led us to conquer the grassland? ”

Tai Shici's eyes lit up, "You mean guerrilla tactics?" ”

"Yes, guerrilla tactics. However, our guerrilla tactics are different. ”

"What's the difference?" Tai Shi Ci asked suspiciously.

"Although we want to abandon Hongnong, we can't leave anything for them, send a force to evacuate to Wuguan with all Hongnong's supplies and people."

Hearing this, the corners of Tai Shici's mouth also showed a smile: "This method is good, don't leave anything for them." ”

Zhang Liao nodded, then looked at Tai Shici and said, "Second brother, this task will be handed over to you." Hongnong still has 2,000 cavalry, and there are no excellent cavalry in Jiangnan, so I will lead this cavalry to accompany Huang Zu and them to play. ”

When Tai Shi Ci heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle, and said, "No, no, no." Third brother, the attack is too dangerous, how can you let the third brother go, this kind of dangerous work must be borne by the brother. ”

Zhang Liao stopped the urge to laugh, the three of them intersected with each other, especially him and Tai Shici, who were inseparable since childhood, how could he not understand Tai Shici's thoughts.

Where is he afraid that he will be in danger, it is clear that he wants to charge.

However, this matter is indeed dangerous, Zhang Liao also intends to let Tai Shici go, not because Zhang Liao himself is afraid, but because Tai Shici is too impulsive and frizzy, if he is really responsible for transferring the baggage and the people, Zhang Liao is even more worried.

But he can't easily let Tai Shici go, otherwise once he kills and rises, he can't come back, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Zhang Liao deliberately embarrassed and said: "Second brother, if you say so, then I don't want to brother." It is precisely because of the danger that the younger brother should go, how can he let the elder brother be in it. ”

Tai Shi Ci was so anxious that his face was red, and he said: "Then I don't care, I just won't let you go, you can do it yourself!" ”

Zhang Liao saw that the time was almost the same at this time, so he pretended to think about it: "Alas, the elder brother loves and cares, and the younger brother can't tell the difference." In fact, it is also suitable to take on this task with the bravery of the second brother, but it is just ......"

When Tai Shici heard that there was a play, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked eagerly: "Brother, just what?" Tell me quickly. ”

"It's just that the younger brother has a request, but you must agree, brother. Otherwise, don't talk about it! Zhang Liao said.

"What requirements?" Tai Shi Ci scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, he couldn't see others selling like Zhang Liao at the moment, "Don't say it's a request, even ten or twenty are no problem, and they all agree for my brother." ”

Zhang Liao saw that Tai Shici took the bait, so he said: "Okay, you have to promise me." Five days later, when our army enters the pass, not only do you want to come back, but you also have to bring back at least eighty percent of the two thousand men and horses. ”

"This ......" Tai Shi Ci hesitated a little when he heard this.

He naturally used 2,000 cavalry to harass 40,000 Jingzhou soldiers, but casualties were inevitable, and he also knew his own situation, once he was killed, he couldn't care about the soldiers around him.

Zhang Liao continued to speak: "The master once said that you need to listen to my orders this time. That's my request, or you'll be in charge of the retreat. ”

Tai Shici didn't think about it for long, gritted his teeth and said, "Third brother, you can believe me, I will definitely bring these two thousand people back!" ”

"Good!" Zhang Liao nodded, and continued to advise: "Second brother, you have to bring more arrows, there is a shortage of horses in the south of the Yangtze River, and there must not be many cavalry on the other side, even if there is, it will not be able to catch up with our border horses, you only need to attack from a distance, you can make the other party tireless, I believe that with the ability of the second brother, it is not impossible to kill a few generals." ”

"Hahaha, that's nature!" Being able to get this task is Tai Shici's greatest happiness.

On the same day, Tai Shici led 2,000 cavalry to quickly march in the direction of Wanxian.

Zhang Liao seized the time to arrange the evacuation of the people and the transfer of baggage, Yuan Shao's army has now occupied the land of the three counties, and the next will inevitably attack Hongnong as quickly as possible, and now it is a race against time.

"Hahahaha, you lackeys of Liu Jingsheng, let you taste the power of this master!"

Tai Shi Ci led 2,000 cavalry to the location where Huang Zu's army was camped at night that day.

Taking advantage of the night, Tai Shici personally led people to rob the camp.

Although Huang Zu is a famous general in the south of the Yangtze River, this assault on Hongnong happened suddenly, and the other party must be dealing with Yuan Shao's army, so Huang Zu is also a little lighthearted.

In his past, the best possibility of the other party was to lead the 10,000 horses to evacuate quickly, even if he insisted on holding Hongnong, with the strength in his hands, it was completely enough to capture Hongnong, and he could hold it under Yuan Shao's attack.

He has absolute confidence in that.

However, what they didn't expect was that on the first day they left Wanxian County, before they entered the territory of Hongnong, they were robbed of the camp.

Huang Zu carelessly underestimated the enemy, and the soldiers under his command naturally did not have much defense, and they were suddenly killed by Tai Shici's two thousand cavalry.

In the dark night, I didn't know how many people there were on the other side, which made many Jingzhou soldiers afraid.

However, Huang Zu deserved to be a general, and stabilized the troops in the shortest possible time.

At this time, he could see at a glance that the number of enemies was not large, and it was only because they were all cavalry that they were caught off guard.

"It's broken!" Huang Zu suddenly had a cleverness, and hurriedly roared: "Hurry up and protect the grain and grass, hurry up and protect the grain and grass!" ”

However, just as he was shouting, a fire suddenly broke out at the rear of the camp, where the grain and grass were stored.

This place was originally guarded by one of Huang Zu's henchmen, but Tai Shi Ci came too suddenly, and this person rushed out of the camp in a daze in his sleep and was killed.

In the midst of the chaos, even the soldiers of the Jingzhou army did not know that their lord would be killed.

Naturally, there was no way to effectively defend against Tai Shici's assault.

Tai Shi Ci rushed left and right in the chaotic army, as if entering a no-man's land, and after a while, the armies everywhere lit flames, and the cavalry of the state finally set fire to all the grain and grass.

Tai Shi Ci whistled, and the two thousand cavalry suddenly retreated like a whirlwind.

was so angry that Huang Zu jumped to his feet and scolded.

Tai Shi Ci ran for more than ten miles, and then found a secluded place to hide.

After taking some inventory, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the loss of his own side in this robbery camp was only a few dozen.

On the second day, the news that Huang Zu's grain and grass had been burned reached Jingzhou, and Liu Biao urgently sent a force to escort the grain and grass to Huang Zu.

In order to wait for food and grass, Huang Zu deliberately slowed down the pace of the march and sent troops to meet him.

In order to prevent the grain and grass from being robbed on the road, Liu Biao did not transport much grain and grass this time.

Just enough for two days of the army.

During the day, there was nothing to do, and Huang Zu was afraid that the other party would repeat his old tricks, so he specially arranged for some soldiers to wait for them at night.

Who knew that the night before this night was safe, but after midnight, people were most sleepy.

Tai Shi Ci appeared again with his troops, but this time he did not rob the camp, and he did not even approach the camp of Huang Zu.

Two thousand cavalrymen kept beating all kinds of iron tools, making noisy loud noises, running around Huang Zu's camp and shouting, which annoyed Huang Zu's soldiers.

However, Huang Zu only has about a thousand cavalry in his hands, and they are all Jiangnan horses, if they are sent out, I am afraid that they will become the prey of the other party.

In this way, he tossed until the great light in the east, and Tai Shici roared and led a group of cavalry away.

Huang Zu was so angry on the spot that the three corpses jumped violently, but he was helpless.

The soldiers in Jingzhou were woken up at the most sleepy time, and their mental state can be imagined, and the pace of the march on the second day was slowed down by three percent.
