Chapter 114: Suppressing the Rebellion and Ambushing the Demons
Liu Bei's army was defeated by Cao Cao, and there were few tens of thousands of troops left, only a few thousand remained, and after attaching to Lu Bu, they were stationed in Yanjin. Liu Bei went to Anyi to meet with the emperor's holy order, but was left in Anyi and was not allowed to return, and thousands of troops could only be handed over to the military advisor Xu Shu and Xu Yu for the time being.
On this day, Liu Bei received a letter from his confidant Jian Yong, saying that the mother of the military advisor Xu Shu was seriously ill and dying, and Xu Shu had no choice but to go back to Yingchuan to visit his mother.
Liu Bei lost good help, Xu Shu's wisdom is unparalleled, it is Liu Bei's comeback, and he withdraws at this time, which is tantamount to a thunderbolt from the sky for Liu Bei. Although there are thousands of soldiers and horses in Yanjin and Jian Yong and Xu You in charge, Jian Yong is good at internal affairs and does not understand military affairs, Xu You is high and debauched and has just arrived, and his soldiers and generals are all brave people, if there is no general in charge, sooner or later there will be chaos. If there is chaos at home, it is like drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle, and then you can't care about the plan with Dong Cheng and others.
Anxious, he begged Lu Bu to let him return to Yanjin, how could Lu Bu do what he wanted, Cao Cao's lesson in history is in front of him, let him go, it is tantamount to returning to the mountain, and Liu Bei's family is in turmoil, it is he who likes to hear it, seeing that Liu Bei is involved in the matter of the edict, he can be used to pull him out, how can he get out of the matter!
Liu Bei begged but couldn't, so he knew that Lu Bu was suspicious of him, and he was even more panicked, so he discussed with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "Lu Bu is quite suspicious of us, and the number of secret guards around the mansion has increased significantly, and it may be difficult for us to succeed in what we plan, once the incident happens, I am afraid it will be a shocking catastrophe, and our brother is subject to this, how can we do it?" ”
Guan Yu said: "Didn't Xu Shu leave behind a plan when he left? ”
Liu Bei sighed: "Yuan Zhi asked me to cross to Xingyang south and take refuge in Ma Chao, but everyone knows that Ma Chao and Lu Bu are in a nest of snakes and rats, attacking and defending each other, wouldn't we go to the net?" Besides, now that we are controlled by others, how can we get out safely when our daily actions are still under the watchful eye of Lu Buer? ”
Zhang Fei was puzzled: "Why do my brothers have such concerns, with the martial arts of the three of our brothers, even if he Lu Bu sends 100,000 troops, what is he afraid of?" Since it is not easy to kill Lu Bu, it is better to go out of the city and return to Yanjin, with soldiers and horses to help, the world is so big, where can you not go? ”
Liu Bei was excited by his arrogance, and said with a smile: "It's still the third brother who is free and easy, so he will follow the words of the third brother and kill back to Yanjin." It's just that the details of this have to be carefully considered. ”
The three of them made a plan, agreed on the details, and sent a letter to Jian Yong to send Liao Hua Kuaima to let him act according to the plan.
Lu Bu learned that Liu Bei was upset, and expected that he would try his best to leave, and did not arrest him immediately, but in order not to startle the snake and make this matter slip through the net. And Dong Cheng and the plans of everyone are already in his hands, and most of the conspirators have surfaced, and it is time to close the net. He had already ordered the dispatch of troops and horses, and when everything was in place, he could order the arrest and capture of these people.
Everything is under control, Lu Bu can't help but be a little proud, back to the inner house, naturally boasted to Yan Xiuli, Yan Xiuli is as careful as a hair, seeing that the last time her husband swore so much was in Luoyang, at that time he boasted that he could easily get Yanzhou, but who knew that stealing chickens did not succeed but lost a handful of rice, not only failed to expand the territory as he wished, but put himself in a desperate situation, almost no power to turn over.
It can be seen that people must not get carried away, and advised: "Dong Cheng was just a deputy general of Niu Fu back then, but he was able to stand in the court without falling, and he must have his superiority, and Liu Bei is just a small person in the countryside, but now he can be among the high temples, and he is not an easy person." The husband and the jackal dance against each other, and don't take it lightly. ”
Lu Bu was poured cold water, it was inevitable that she would be a little unhappy, now it is different from the past, these embarrassing old things, only she dared to mention them, so she had to say: "Don't worry, I have been planning this matter for a long time, and it is properly arranged, there will never be any more accidents, these ill-intentioned people, none of them want to escape." ”
Before the words fell, the noisy sound outside the house suddenly rose, Lu Bu was shocked, and secretly said badly: The cowhide is blowing up?
Hurriedly rushed out of the outer mansion to check, and saw Wei Xu coming in a hurry, and said with an urgent face: "Prime Minister, the east guard of the city, Wang Zifu and Liu Zilan instigated the soldiers to mutiny, and they are entangled with thousands of rebellious soldiers to kill the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
Lu Bu was shocked, the defenders in the east of the city were elite infantry, and he handed them over to the general Yan Liang to command, how could they be easily swayed? Anxiously asked, "Where is Yan Liang?" ”
Wei continued: "According to the investigation of his subordinates, General Yan was invited to the banquet by the servant. ”
Lu Bu knew that he must have colluded with Dong Cheng and others, transferred Yan Liang, agitated the army, and killed himself with his own soldiers, regardless of success or failure, losses were inevitable.
Seeing that the lights around the Prime Minister's Mansion were bright, the sound of shouting and shouting resounded in the sky, and the sound of swords and soldiers at the main gate was endless.
Although the government soldiers are brave, but after all, the number is too small, and the chaotic soldiers are the elite of the infantry, with complete armor, shields, halberds, strong bows and crossbows, and the advantage of formation cooperation, hundreds of government soldiers can only barely resist, and they are already crumbling and will collapse.
Lu Bu didn't care about changing into armor, he only hurriedly took the bow and arrow and painted the halberd, and personally joined the government soldiers battle array, and the government soldiers saw the prince and the marquis personally out of the battle, as if they had returned to the time when they had fought side by side to attack the city and seize the land, everyone's blood was boiling, morale was shocked, and they gradually stabilized their position.
And the rebels naturally recognized Lu Bu, and when they saw him fighting in person at this time, they were all a little apprehensive, the front army retreated again and again, and the rear army cowered. Seeing this, Lu Bu's heart moved, and he shouted loudly: "I am Lu Bu, you are bewitched by others and become my enemy, if you put down your weapons and surrender at this time, I will not be guilty of the past." If you are obsessed, I will settle them one by one afterwards, and there will be a great disaster for your wife and children! ”
The rebel army had already lost their morale when they saw Lu Bu, and when they heard his threatening words, they couldn't help but tremble faintly in their hearts, and they didn't dare to take a step forward, and several people were afraid to throw away their weapons.
The prince was shocked, if the situation was allowed to develop like this, abandoning the army and surrendering would become a prairie fire, and immediately jumped forward, beheaded several people, and shouted: "Don't listen to Lu Bu's nonsense, everyone knows that Lu Bu has a rebellious heart, and the emperor's blood edict is so pitiful!" I am looking forward to your rescue, as a big man, shouldn't you be loyal to the country? ”
The generals are all young and enthusiastic, and they can be swayed by their will the most, and they are full of pride for a while, and they actually overcome their fear of Lu Bu and shout to surround and kill.
Lu Bu was under siege, leading the government soldiers to fight back and forth, but there was still blood in his heart, these many soldiers were the hard work of his own cultivation for many years, and he followed himself to fight in the south and north for many years, whether it was the government soldiers or the infantry, every time one was killed or wounded, there would be one more senseless tragic death, they should have followed themselves, crossed the Yellow River in the south, and drank the Yangtze River, but now they can only die tragically under the butcher's knife of their own people, how sad.
was in the sad place, and in a blink of an eye, there was a young face full of generosity and loyalty, full of resentment and unwillingness, under Lu Bu's painted halberd.
Although the infantry is brave, but in the face of Lu Bu, it is like a pack of wolves fighting tigers, it seems that there are many people who have a good wind, but they can't lay down their minions, and it is difficult to hurt them in the slightest, but the elite infantry has suffered heavy casualties.
Seeing that there were many casualties, the prince immediately waved the command flag and commanded the army to change formation.
The elite infantry retreated quickly, the front row was built into a wall with a strong shield, and the rear row infantry took off the standard crossbow arrows on their waists, and the small system of three consecutive rounds was very easy to carry, Lu Bu did not know how much effort he spent on building these crossbow arrows, but at this moment it became a murder weapon that threatened his life.
When the infantry retreated rapidly, he knew that there would be crossbow arrows pouring in behind, so he did not hesitate to lead hundreds of soldiers to come closely, not giving half a cent of space for crossbow arrows. The crossbow arrows were thrown at nothing, and they were all shot in the open space, but after Lu Bu got close, he had no way to take the strong shield wall, and between the gaps, the halberd pierced like a forest, and countless government soldiers fell in a pool of blood, and the crossbow arrows after adjusting the range came madly, making the casualties of the government soldiers even more heavy.
Lu Bu finally understood the power of his infantry battle array, not to mention that General Yuan Shao, even if he faced this overwhelming peerless murder weapon, he also had a sense of powerlessness, and it was no wonder that Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of brave soldiers across Jizhou had no power to fight back before Lu Bu's army, throwing away their armor and giving up this great river and mountain.
At this moment, there was a sudden fire behind the rebel army, and the sound of thousands of horses galloping on the long street outside the mansion suddenly rose, and the rebel army immediately fell into chaos.
Lu Bu took the opportunity to cover up, only to see countless cavalry swarming on the long street outside the mansion, all wearing armor, black armor and silver helmets, it was the elite cavalry commanded by Zhao Yun, the heavy cavalry stationed between Anyi and Mengjin! Zhao Yun took the lead, entered the chaotic army, was invincible, and killed the rebel general Liu Zilan with one shot.
The rebel army was raided by cavalry, and immediately fell into a rout, facing the enemy in front and rear, and suffered heavy casualties. Seeing the opportunity, Lu Bu jumped into the formation and went straight to the prince of the rebel army.
When the prince saw Lu Bu's reinforcements arrive, he knew that the general trend had gone, and the previous plan could no longer be realized, so he wanted to ride his horse and escape, but he saw Lu Bu leaping over, tall and tall, but as light as a swallow, not riding a war horse, but not shorter than himself, and the halberd in his hand was like a life-seeking flag, like a fierce ghost crying, and the piercing sound of the carrier had arrived in front of him. The prince's suit was no longer in time to dodge, and the only thing he could do was to close his eyes tightly and shrink his body until death came.
Without waiting for the blade to pierce the armor, Wang Zifu only felt that he was hit by a strong force, and his body involuntarily flew off the horse, spitting a few mouthfuls of blood, and saw Lu Bu standing in front of him, like a god, the halberd was pointing at his chest, and shouted with a solemn face: "The rebel general of the rebel army has been subdued by the law, and you will not be surrendered!" ”
The chaotic army was attacked from front to back, and at this time they had already lost their fighting spirit, and when they saw the prince's suit fall off their horses, Lu Bu was standing in the array, unattainable, and the power on his body made everyone frightened, and they no longer had the slightest fighting spirit, so they discarded their armor and knelt on the ground.
At this time, there were countless soldiers and horses galloping from a distance, everyone was in the battle array, like a frightened bird for a while, Lu Bu hurriedly ordered the whole army to meet the enemy, and waited for the cavalry to approach, but it was Wei Yue who led the light cavalry from Shangjun to come. Wei Yue was originally ordered by Lu Bu to come to Anyi to arrest Dong Cheng and others, just arrived outside the city of Anyi, he saw the fire in the city, it was the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and before he could report, he ordered the soldiers to come to help, and finally arrived at this time, but found that the overall situation had been decided.
Wei Yue jumped down from his horse, knelt down and said, "Wei Yue is late, please punish the prince." ”
Lu Bu condensed and said: "You came at the right time, go to Uncle Guo's Mansion immediately, and be sure to arrest Dong Cheng and a kind of traitor." ”
Wei Yue took the order and left, and it didn't take long for Yan Liang to lead thousands of infantry to arrive, and when he saw the mess around the Prime Minister's Mansion, he knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Yan Liang has the trust of his husband and the prince, and he has not managed the soldiers and horses, so please be guilty of the prince." ”
Lu Bu said coldly: "You are guilty, punishment is naturally indispensable, I will punish you for your guilt and meritorious service, immediately go to the palace to arrest the servant, no matter what method is used, you must not let him escape, but you must not hurt the emperor." ”
Yan Liang made such a big omission, he thought he was dead, but he didn't expect that there would be a chance to make meritorious contributions, where did he dare to hesitate, and immediately took the order.
Lu Bu made proper arrangements, ordered Wei Xu to clean up the scene, and sent attendants to report to Yan Xiuli that he was safe, but he felt that something seemed wrong, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but shout: "It's not good, I don't see Liu Bei, I'm going to escape for him!" ”
Seeing that only Zhao Yun's heavy cavalry was left with the available soldiers in front of him, he instructed him: "Zilong will immediately go to Liu Bei's mansion to track down Liu Bei's whereabouts, and once he finds out, regardless of life or death, he will be arrested immediately." ”
Zhao Yun received Lu Bu's order and led thousands of cavalry to gallop towards Liu Bei's mansion. As soon as I arrived at Liu Bei's mansion, I saw that the door of the mansion was wide open, and it was empty, only the servants and maids given by the emperor were still in it.
Zhao Yun immediately led the army to chase after him, it was already late at night, there was no army token, Liu Bei could only break through if he wanted to get out of the city, but the city gate was heavily guarded, and it would take a lot of time for them to break through.
Zhao Yun chased Liu Bei all the way to the south gate of Anyi, and saw Liu Bei's three brothers, leading dozens of personal soldiers, who were fighting with hundreds of soldiers defending the city. Liu Bei has few soldiers, but peerless generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have the upper hand in the battle, and they have already killed the guards and retreated to the doorway.
At this time, when he saw Lu Bu's cavalry chasing after him, he was immediately shocked, Liu Bei sighed secretly, is he going to die here tonight?
When the army approached, it was found that the leading general would be Zhao Yun, Liu Bei and Zhao Yun had colleagues in Youzhou, and they worked together in front of Gongsun Zhan's tent, and their friendship was quite deep. ”
Zhao Yun saw that Liu Bei was lonely, covered in blood, recalling the old feelings, but felt a little desolate, nodded and said: "I am here to arrest you back on the orders of the prime minister." ”
At this time, the guards of the city retreated in the gate of the city gate, and when they saw that the reinforcements had arrived, they only concentrated on defense, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei comforted their brothers, and also made the soldiers retreat and tighten, and surrounded Liu Bei behind him.
Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "Do you know that once I go back, I will not be able to live, Zilong really doesn't miss the old love?" ”
Zhao Yun was a chivalrous man in his early years, and when he heard Liu Bei's words, he hesitated even more, and said: "I don't want to embarrass my brother, but the prime minister has a life, and Zhao Yun doesn't dare to disobey." ”
