"Lord, lord..." A general came to report: "We found a large number of equipment to defend the city in the school grounds, as well as thousands of chariots. ”

"Report! The granaries of the eastern city are full.... ”

"Report! The granaries of the northern city were full. ”

........

Chen Zhi also ran over excitedly and said, "Lord Yu, the last general went to the treasury just now and found that there were tens of millions of money, more than four million taels of silver, as well as countless jade and treasures. ”

"Take me there..." Liu Bei ran out of the hall in three steps and two steps and went straight to the warehouse.

As Chen Zhi reported.

The storeroom was also full.

There was more gold and silver stored here than he had seen in his life.

Liu Bei has never been so arrogant.

"Lord, with these, we can make a comeback..." Chen Zhi had already put Zhuge Liang's instructions behind him, and counted the gold and silver in the treasury with Liu Bei.

"yes, hahaha..."

Liu Bei was also carried away.

Command the soldiers outside the storehouse to protect the storehouse.

He wants to use all this gold, silver, money and grain as a bargaining chip to support the Han family, take Jizhou into his pocket, expand his strength, and fight Xu Ding to the end.

He had this idea when he was in Taihang Mountain, and now it is even more so.

..........

..........

At this time, Xu Ding already knew the situation in Jizhou.

According to the plan, Gan Ning led the navy from the Yellow Sea, landed in Pingyuan County, and killed Wei County. The 30,000 Youzhou troops stationed in Zhongshan also marched towards Yecheng.

The more than 100,000 troops in Bingzhou, under the leadership of Xu Ding, quickly assembled towards Jizhou.

In the blink of an eye, a few days.

Liu Bei is still in Yecheng.

He had already counted the money and food in the city and was ready to evacuate. Because Chen Zhi remembered the task given to him by Zhuge Liang, although he did not drug him, he repeatedly admonished him.

Liu Bei also received news that tens of thousands of enemy troops were rushing towards Yecheng.

Forced by the situation.

He accepted Chen Zhi's suggestion and prepared to go back to Taihang Mountain first.

The money and grain in Yecheng were loaded into chariots, with more than 3,000 carts, and were escorted by the army to the border of Jizhou.

"Where is the lord's army?" Zhuge Liang was worried that something would happen to Liu Bei, so he led 5,000 men and horses to meet him at the border.

"I sent the news just now, the lord has left Yecheng, and he is expected to arrive here tomorrow evening." Bai Bo general Yang Feng said.

"Ugh...."

Zhuge Liang was really heartbroken.

He took out the map and looked at it, and said, "General Yang, you quickly take 3,000 men and horses to set up an ambush in the passage of Taihang Mountain." If Xu Ding's army is discovered, try to delay time. When the lord comes back tomorrow evening, everything will be done. ”

"Sir, we have a total of 5,000 men and horses, and if the general takes 3,000 in the end, what will you do? There are also Cheng Yu's 30,000 Youzhou troops in the north, in case they march in a hurry, they will arrive here if they don't wait for tomorrow evening. Yang Feng said.

"Don't worry, I'm free to do whatever I can." Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said, "Go quickly, don't delay the big thing." ”

"The last will obey."

Yang Feng led the troops to go.

Zhuge Liang took a thousand people and walked north for a while, using stones, straw, and trees to lay down the Qimen Bagua Array. Controlled by a thousand people, trying to stop Cheng Yu's 30,000 Youzhou army.

and sent people to Wei County to urge Liu Bei to return quickly.

Next.

Xu Ding's army and Cheng Yu's Youzhou army arrived almost at the same time.

The Youzhou army fell into the gossip array, unable to advance or retreat, and suffered heavy casualties.

Xu Ding was also ambushed by Yang Feng, and his road ahead was blocked.

After a fierce battle.

Yang Feng was beheaded by Lu Bu, and none of the 3,000 volts survived. Xu Ding led the army to speed up the march and arrived at the Jizhou border in half a day. That is, where Zhuge Liang was stationed.

When he got here, Xu Ding was not in a hurry.

"Hansheng, order all battalions to rest in place." Xu Ding stood on the roller of the car and looked at the sky. There is a camp there, and Zhuge Liang's banner is planted all over.

"Your Majesty, why don't we go all out and surround Zhuge Liang?" Lu Bu walked over.

"Don't be in a hurry. We have reached the border and can block the exit of Taihang Mountain. Even if Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang put on their wings, they won't be able to fly out, and they will be caught by us sooner or later. The soldiers were a little tired from rushing for days, so they rested for a while, and it was not too late to fight again. Xu Dingdao.

"Yes..."

Huang Zhong led people to build a camp.

Xu Ding, Guo Jia, and Lu Bu went to the mountain in front to observe. I saw Zhuge Liang's camp camped on an official road, consisting of seven small camps. The camp in the middle is built larger, like the Chinese army's big village.

"Zhuge Liang is good at arranging formations, this is probably his formation, right?" Lu Bu glanced at it, didn't pay much attention to it, and arched his hand: "Please allow Your Majesty, the last general will take a thousand light horsemen to attack Zhuge Liang's camp." ”

"Feng Xian is not afraid of the middle of the ambush?" Xu Ding asked.

"What's there to be afraid of, Zhuge Liang's formation, in the final analysis, isn't it just a trick to hide ambushes in the formation, and secretly attack. I'm not afraid of him. Lu Bu snorted.

Guo Jia studied Zhuge Liang's camp, and he couldn't see any subtlety, and said: "Zhuge Liang camped like this, there must be his wonderful use." However, he does not have many troops, and even if the formation is subtle, his power is limited. If our army forcibly breaks through the fortress and rushes into it with several times or even ten times the number of troops, even if there are ambushes, it will not be enough to shake our powerful military strength. ”

"Haha... That's what I think too. Lu Bu grinned and said, "But before the army rushes to kill, can you let me rush and kill." I really want to understand the subtlety of Zhuge Liang's formation, what is the great thing. ”

Xu Ding looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia also nodded.

"Good!" Xu Dingdao: "Fengxian, I will give you a thousand elite iron cavalry, and you lead them to rush into Zhuge Liang's camp to test his strength." After that, I will send troops to support you and destroy the village in one fell swoop. ”

"The last will obey."

Lu Bu responded excitedly.

A few hours later.

Lü Bu led his army to rush to the enemy camp.

Da Da...

The crisp sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the night, galloping on the spacious avenue, and seeing that it was getting closer and closer to Zhuge Liang's camp.

Xu Ding, Guo Jia, Huang Zhong, Guan Yu, etc., were all staring on the hillside.

"I'm really worried about Lu Bu, what if I fall into an ambush?" Huang Zhongdao.

"He said he didn't care, he must be completely sure." Xu Dingdao.

"Your Majesty doesn't know about him, he has always loved to brag, and if there is danger, and we can't save him, won't he die? Although I don't like him, but I am a civil official of the same dynasty, and I can't see death without help. Guan Yu said.

"Yun Chang doesn't have to worry, Lu Bu is not so easy to die." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"I hope so..."

Guan Yu and Huang Zhong are both nervous.

In other words, they didn't dare to lead only a thousand horsemen and rashly enter Zhuge Liang's camp.

In case of an ambush, it is almost the same as going to die.

"Kill..." Lu Bu's light cavalry had already entered the enemy camp and rushed to the middle camp.

From the moment he entered the camp, Lu Bu was in good spirits, paying attention to the surrounding situation at all times. Beware of ambush attacks.

Whoosh...

Soon after entering the camp, the expected ambush appeared. Countless arrows were shot from all directions, all pointing at Lu Bu.

"Hahaha... Finally here, Zhuge Liang, you have this ability. How can a few hidden arrows hurt me? Lu Bu rode the red rabbit horse and sped up even more.

Facing the flying arrows, he swung the Fang Tian Painting Halberd to arrive.

All the arrows were sent flying when they were a foot away from him.

"Suffer death!" Lu Bu quickly ran to the Chinese army camp and rushed in to kill them. The ambush soldiers, about 500 or so, were all killed.

However, the 1,000 cavalry that followed Lu Bu in were stopped far behind.

Lu Bu was in danger alone.

"Your Majesty, Lu Bu rushed too fast and broke away from the army... The last general will lead troops to support him. Huang Zhongdao.

"Don't be in a hurry, let him rush and kill again." Xu Dingdao.

"Your Majesty is right. The enemy only appeared about a thousand people, and the number of troops was too small. There should still be ambushes in the shadows. Guo Jia also said.

........

Lu Bu and the 1,000 horsemen he brought in rushed left and killed, turning Zhuge Liang's camp upside down.

All facilities were destroyed.

And all the while, there weren't too many enemies.

As time went on, the 1,000 cavalry that had been ambushed gradually turned defeat into victory, rushed out of the ambush site, and went to rendezvous with Lu Bu.

"Look carefully, don't let Zhuge Liang go. Whoever catches him, General Ben will be rewarded! Lu Bu roared wildly.

"No..."

More than 1,000 cavalry searched back and forth in seven camps.

Xu Ding, Guo Jia and the others were all stunned.

"Wouldn't it, Zhuge Liang's camp was occupied by Lu Bu like this?" Guan Yu couldn't believe it.

"It seems that Zhuge Liang is also in vain, and the seven camps he set up seem to be bluffing, but they are actually useless. It's a shame that we pay so much attention to it. Huang Zhong said with a smile.

Whoosh...

Just then, a burst of rockets appeared, shooting from east to west.

Xu Ding's eyes widened, and he exclaimed: "It's not good, Zhuge Liang may have put fire oil in the camp.... ”

Boom Boom Boom !!

As soon as Xu Ding's words were finished, seven camps exploded at the same time.

All the facilities, camps, and vehicles were blown up into the sky.

Within a radius of one mile, it instantly became a sea of fire.

The 1,000 horsemen who followed Lu Bu were also in the range of the explosion, and the casualties were extremely medium.

"Rush out..." Fortunately, Lu Bu was still alive, leading the remaining soldiers and horses, and continued to charge towards the opposite side.

"Your Majesty, Lu Bu is in danger. Shall we support him? Huang Zhong said urgently.

"How to support? With such a big fire, it was difficult for us to even get in. can only rely on Lu Bu to get out of danger by himself, I hope he will be fine. Xu Ding's heart seemed to be blocked by a stone, and he couldn't lift his breath. His eyes were fixed on the battlefield ahead, without blinking.

"Ahhh The soldiers who entered the camp with Lu Bu died tragically in the fire one by one.

Lu Bu's red rabbit horse was also injured.

It's running desperately.

"Red Rabbit Horse, hurry up and rush out of the camp!" Lu Bu couldn't care about the other soldiers, and drove the red rabbit horse to gallop at the fastest speed.

Half an hour later.

The red rabbit horse went through a thousand dangers and jumped out of the fire cave, and his body was already burned. Lu Bu was also covered in darkness and embarrassed. And at the moment of rushing out of the fire cave, countless arrows were shot from the opposite side.

Whoosh...

Lu Bu looked up and immediately waved the Fang Tian Painting Halberd to arrive.

Bell, bell, bell...

With Lu Bu's reaction speed, there is no problem in resisting the attack of arrows.

When Fang Tian's halberd waved, a radius of Fang Tian was impermeable.

Lu Bu roared: "Kill it!" ”

Da Da...

The soldiers who followed him accelerated their forward charge.

Although they were all seriously injured and burned by the fire, they still worked hard to survive. After only a few breaths, he rushed to the opposite side and exchanged hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.

At this time, there were not many companions around Lu Bu.

Even he himself was seriously injured.

In this case, there is still a bloody battle with the enemy.

The most worrying thing is that Xu Ding was unable to send troops to help, and through the raging fire, he could only watch Lu Bu fight alone.

"Fortunately, Zhuge Liang's troops are insufficient, and he has not laid out a strict formation, otherwise it would be difficult for General Lu to escape..." Guo Jia was covered in cold sweat.

Xu Ding, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, etc., also sweated for Lu Bu.

"Zilong."

"Yes."

Xu Ding instructed: "Go and prepare three thousand light horsemen, and when the fire is a little weaker, support Lu Bu." And told him that there is no need to chase it, I am worried that Zhuge Liang will still have an ambush in the east. ”

"No."

Zhao Yun went to gather the troops.

.........

Lu Bu is worthy of being the number one fierce general in the world, and after all his soldiers were killed, he was still fighting desperately. He single-handedly fought against Zhuge Liang's more than 500 elite soldiers.

After half an hour of fighting, only a few dozen enemies were killed, and they fled in a hurry.

And this was when he was seriously injured.

If it is in its heyday, it is estimated that it can be easily faced with thousands of people.

"General Lu, I'm here to help you!" Zhao Yun led the army through the fire cave and rounded with Lu Bu.

The enemy has all fled.

Lu Bu looked back and chuckled: "General Zilong, you are late, the enemy has already been defeated by me." He clutched his chest and vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Still strong?"

Zhao Yun said: "Your Majesty asked you to go back and rest, you don't have to chase Zhuge Liang." ”

"Got it, ahem..." In normal times, Lu Bu would not give up, but the battle just now did cause him to suffer a lot of injuries, and if he continued to fight, he was afraid that he would have to worry about his life.

Zhao Yun did not pursue either.

Return with Lu Bu.

In the tent.

Xu Ding said: "Everyone saw the battle just now, Zhuge Liang can lay down such a formation with only a thousand people, and it is difficult to deal with. Therefore, I decided not to march eastward for the time being.... ”

Xu Ding pointed to the map and said: "We will be stationed on the border of Jizhou and not let Liu Bei return to Taihang Mountain." When the rest of our armies arrive, we will shrink the encirclement. ”

"Fengxiao, what do you think?"

Guo Jia replied: "What Your Majesty said is very true. This is already the last confrontation between us and Liu Bei, if we win, Liu Bei will be defeated. If Liu Bei wins, he will have a chance to breathe. Therefore, we should take it step by step, not to seek a quick victory, but to not be defeated in a hundred battles. ”

"Hmm."

Xu Dingdao: "After winning this battle, there will be no hostile forces in Hebei." We will be able to transfer all our forces back to the Central Plains to deal with Cao Cao and Sun Jian. ”

..........

Just when everyone was discussing how to encircle Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, a bad news came.

The 30,000 troops who rushed to the aid from Youzhou walked halfway and fell into Zhuge Liang's ambush. According to the detailed report, it was the gossip formation laid out by Zhuge Liang, and with only 1,000 people, 30,000 Youzhou troops were trapped.

After half a day of fierce fighting, the Youzhou army suffered many casualties and retreated to Zhongshan for repair.

"Just a thousand people can withstand tens of thousands of troops..." Xu Ding really wanted to see what kind of scene it was.

Zhuge Liang really has the ability to be close to a demon?

The retreat of the Youzhou army made all the generals reacquaint themselves with Zhuge Liang.

Lu Bu is not as contemptuous as before.
