PS: It's a new week, ask for tickets. Another thing to inform, tomorrow the old wolf has some things, please take a day off from the National Day, and I hope my friends will approve it. ）

The decisive battle between Dongjun and Cao Cao's army lasted only two days and one night, but in this short two days and one night, Dong Zhuo's Yongzhou army fully wiped out Yongzhou's half a year of material production and accumulation, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, Kang Peng had no choice but to order the Yongzhou army to suspend the march and station in Dongjun on the spot to supply grain, grass, ordnance and soldiers, so that the army had time to rest and treat the wounded, and Dong Zhuo's Jizhou army went east to take Qingzhou, surrendered and exterminated the remnants of Cao Cao's army there, and the war in the north was temporarily suspended.

In the south, Dong Zhuo's Jingzhou legion with the help of the local people, wiped out Liu Bei's army Runan army at a very small cost, Kang Peng Daxi ordered the Jingzhou army to continue to advance eastward, to Hefei City to reinforce the pressure of Dong Zhuo's Jiangnan army, but the road was far away, and it did not arrive for a while. The war in the Central Plains was concentrated in Hefei, another important military town of Liu Beijun.

Hefei is located in the Huai River Basin, is the barrier of Yangzhou, the strategic location is extremely important, if Dong Zhuo's army breaks through here, the Huainan River Basin's thousands of miles of fertile soil will be completely exposed in front of Dong Zhuojun's iron cavalry, can enter Huainan and Linhuai and other cities from the land and water, Liu Beijun's territory is equal to half of the shrinkage, complete Dong Zhuo's army to besiege Xuzhou's strategic deployment. Because of this, Liu Bei, who knew the importance of Hefei, arranged the last 100,000 regular troops of Liu Bei's army in Hefei after retreating from the mouth of the river, and hurriedly armed more than 100,000 men, and handed them over to Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and Tai Shici and other capable military generals to guard, Liu Bei himself only returned to Xuzhou with 10,000 soldiers and Chen Zhi and Mi family brothers to prepare for his enthronement ceremony, and recruited and armed local young people, crazy expansion of military warfare.

Before setting off from Chaohu, Pang Tong took into account Sima Yi's recent outstanding performance, and he was afraid that he would be robbed of the limelight in the Jiangnan Army with him, so he proposed to Lu Su that Pang Tong led 50,000 sailors to take the Huai River into Hongze Lake by boat, take Shouchun, Linhuai and Beilujiang and other cities, cut off Liu Bei's army's grain route and return route, and let Liu Beijun take care of one thing and lose the other. After careful consideration, Lu Su agreed to Pang Tong's request, and asked Pang Tong to take Li Yan, Huang Gai, Cai Mao and other naval generals, lead 130,000 troops himself, and attack Hefei by land with generals such as Sima Yi, Wei Yan, Gan Ning and Sun Ce.

Time back to the tenth day of October in the ninth year of Chuping, when Kang Peng led the road to Dongjun, the main force of the Jiangnan Army had arrived at the periphery of Hefei, Lu Su and Sima Yi were cautious people, although the regular army had an advantage in strength, but before the arrival of the reinforcements of the Jingzhou Legion, Dong Zhuo's army did not besiege the city and set up camp, but set up a camp fifty miles away from the periphery of Hefei City, divided into three camps on the left, middle and right, and each other were horns, in order to fight for a long time.

Because at that time, the Jiangnan Army was not sure whether the Jingzhou Army could help, so Dong Zhuo's army was set up camp, and Sima Yi, who was eager for meritorious service, offered advice to Lu Su, "Dadu Governor, our army's regular army is more than the enemy's army, and it has a cavalry advantage, but the enemy has more than 100,000 new troops after crazy preparations, although these new troops are vulnerable in the field battle, they will still pose a threat to our army in the defense of the city, so our army cannot risk attacking the city, and must lure the enemy to fight, so that our army can win." ”

"Zhongda's words are exactly what I want." Lu Su nodded and said, "But how should our army lure the enemy into battle, and Zhongda and Zhujun should offer more good strategies." ”

"Among the enemy generals, Zhuge Liang is treacherous and incomparable, and he will definitely see through the characteristics and strengths of our army and the enemy. Sima Yi analyzed: "Only that Zhang Fei is reckless and impulsive, although there are occasional amazing moves, but there is no need to be afraid, if our army wants to lure the enemy into battle, it must start with Zhang Fei." ”

Speaking of this, Sima Yi turned his gaze to Wei Yan with a smile, and Lu Su immediately understood and laughed: "Yes, to lure Zhang Fei into battle, it must be Wei Wenchang." "Indeed, one of the three people who killed Guan Yu at the beginning was Wei Yan, with Zhang Fei's irascible and righteous temper, it was too suitable to use Wei Yan to lure the enemy.

"Do you want me to cheat again?" Wei Yan said with a sad face: "It's too embarrassing, can you change someone else?" ”

Although Wei Yan repeatedly objected, under the insistence of Lu Su and Sima Yi and the promise of heavy rewards, Wei Yan still agreed to go to the city the next day to scold the battle, and deceive the enemy to lure the enemy. That night, Sima Yi and Lu Su racked their brains to arrange the ambush location for the next day, just fell asleep, the left battalion suddenly shouted and killed, and the generals flew to report that Liu Beijun robbed Dong Zhuojun's left battalion, Lu Su was shocked, just wanted to light up the military horse to save the left battalion, and changed his words when the words came to his mouth: "Order the middle camp and the right battalion to strictly guard the camp, not to go out of the camp, if there is an enemy approaching, let out the arrows." ”

"What about the left battalion?" A general asked quickly.

"The enemy suddenly attacked at night, did not know the truth and did not know the truth, and his reckless actions were harmful and useless. The defender of the left battalion is Gan Ning, there is no need to save him, he can kill and retreat the enemy army. Lu Su gritted his teeth and said.

As Lu Su expected, Dong Zhuojun's left battalion shouted and killed did not expand and spread, but two Liu Beijun took advantage of the darkness to touch Dong Zhuojun's middle camp and right battalion, but Dong Zhuojun, who was waiting for the battle, was hit head-on, with a feather arrow, a foot bow and a powder keg, which made the two Liu Beijun who wanted to fish in troubled water. After these two Liu Beijun retreated, the shouting and killing of Dong Zhuojun's left battalion really weakened, and Gan Ning sent someone to report to Lusu, Liu Beijun only adopted harassment tactics against Dong Zhuojun's left battalion, and did not enter the camp, and was killed and retreated by Gan Ning's troops. This report made Lu Su break out in a cold sweat, if he had reacted slower just now and fell for Liu Beijun's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, then Dong Zhuojun's main camp and right flank would have been over.

"The order will be sent down, and in the future, double posts will be added, and then dark posts will be added to strictly prevent the enemy from attacking at night." After Lu Su finished arranging, just wanted to let the generals disperse, Sima Yi hurriedly came in, hugged his fists at Lu Su and said: "Dadu Governor, the enemy attacked the camp, although it did not win, but the whole army retreated, the enemy expected that our army would only strengthen the night defense after this battle, and did not dare to chase again, at most leave the army behind the Great Dao Palace, our army went the opposite way, and sent cavalry to take the small road around the enemy's return road to the side of the surprise attack, and the enemy will definitely be broken." ”

As Sima Yi expected, Liu Beijun only scattered more horse nails on the avenue and left behind the army hall when he retreated, and did not pay attention to the defense on the flank path, and was caught up by Dong Zhuojun's iron cavalry on the path, and suddenly rushed to kill on the side, Liu Beijun was caught off guard, and was killed by Dong Zhuojun's cavalry, Dong Zhuojun's cavalry was killed on his back, Dong Zhuojun beheaded nearly a thousand bodies, if it were not for Zhuge Liang, who was also cautious with his troops, arranged the army to meet the robbery troops, Dong Zhuojun's results would definitely be expanded.

At dawn the next day, Liu Bei put the army back to Hefei City, and after listening to the narration of Tai Shici and Guan Ping, who went to rob the camp, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but be taken aback, and said in a lost voice: "Doing the opposite, Lu Su, who is cautious with soldiers, does not have the courage to do so, this must be Sima Yi's plan!" This Sima Yi usually doesn't say anything, and it seems that he will only be conservative in tactics, but he is more ruthless than anyone else when he uses troops, and he really can't be disgraced. ”

"Little Zhuge , you don't have to worry." Zhang Fei said arrogantly: "With me and Ziyi here, we will have a head-on battle another day, and we will definitely cut off the heads of Lu Su and Sima Xiao'er." ”

"Third uncle, don't be anxious." Zhuge Liang's expression was heavy, and he shook his head and said: "Our army lacks cavalry, and the recruits recruited temporarily are not well trained. What's more, holding on to the enemy is a death order when the uncle leaves, and we must not disobey it. ”

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang glanced at Zhang Fei again and said: "Third uncle, before the uncle left, he repeatedly told the little nephew to take care of you on his behalf, third uncle, you are as fierce as fire, and jealous as hatred, if the enemy wants to lure our army into battle, he must make up his mind from the third uncle, the third uncle should be careful." "In Hefei City, the person Zhuge Liang is most worried about is Zhang Fei, and the most headache is also Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei is not only Zhuge Liang's elder, but also Liu Bei's brother, and he can't even say anything heavier to him, it's difficult to manage. If it weren't for Zhuge Liang's consideration that Zhang Fei was still useful, he would definitely find a way to send Zhang Fei to Dong Zhuojun's ambush and kill this disobedient general with Dong Zhuojun's hand.

Zhuge Liang moved out of Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei couldn't say anything, so he didn't have a word to agree. Who knew what Zhuge Liang said, Zhang Fei forgot it very happily the next day - because Wei Yan, one of the enemies who killed Guan Yu, went to Hefei City to scold and fight, and named Zhang Fei to fight, and he wanted to fight with Zhang Fei for 300 rounds. Wei Yan scolded Zhang Fei, but Wei Yan even scolded the dead Guan Yu, so Zhang Fei was not angry when he heard the news? Zhang Fei immediately lit up his military horses and wanted to go out of the city to face the battle, but as soon as Zhang Fei's troops arrived at the city gate, Zhuge Liang was already standing in front of the gate.

Zhuge Liang took Liu Bei's sword seal letter in each hand, and shouted: "Three generals, where are you going?" ”

"I'm going to fight!" Zhang Fei replied frankly.

"When the king leaves, he will hand over the defense of Hefei to Zhuge Liang, and whether to fight or not to fight will be decided by Zhuge Liang!" Zhuge Liang flashed the sword in his hand and shouted: "Those who violate the order, behead!" ”

Zhang Fei looked at the sword in Zhuge Liang's hand, gritted his teeth in anger, his eyes breathed fire, and finally slapped the horse heavily and turned his head back. Seeing Zhang Fei leaving, Zhuge Liang shouted: "Strictly guard the four gates, no one is allowed to go out of the city, and those who violate the order will be beheaded immediately!" Zhang Fei, Liu Beijun's number one thorn, obediently received the order, and the other Liu Beijun did not dare to disobey the order, obediently guarded the city gate, and did not dare to go out of the city again.

Liu Beijun turtle did not come out, pitiful Wei Yan under the city of Hefei, scolded from morning to night outside the city, scolded hoarsely, Liu Beijun just didn't come out alone, Wei Yan had no choice but to go back to the camp to hand over the order, who knew that Lu Su and Sima Yi did not want to let him go, Sima Yi also specially asked the military doctor to prepare two catties for Wei Yan to treat the hoarse fat sea, and asked him to go to the city the next day to scold, so after five or six days, Wei Yan was about to finish the two catties of fat sea soaked in water, and Liu Beijun in Hefei City never moved. Dong Zhuojun's only gain was to receive a report from the Dark Moon Group lurking in the city that Zhang Fei was insulted by Wei Yan every day under the city, and because Zhuge Liang was forced to fight, he had to borrow wine to drown his sorrows, and he was often drunk like mud.

On this day, Wei Yan, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally couldn't help it, and shouted hoarsely before returning to the camp before entering the big tent: "I won't go to the scolding array anymore, if I scold for a few more days, I won't scold Zhang Fei to death, I will exhaust myself to death first." Wei Yan roared and rushed into the big tent, just wanted to distinguish with Lu Su and Sima Yi, but first saw a person standing in the big tent, it was okay not to look at it, Wei Yan was frightened at first glance, sat on the ground with his ass, and shouted: "Guan Yu!" ”

There was one person standing in the big tent, all nine feet tall, with a red face and long beard, red phoenix eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, green robe and green hat, and holding a green dragon glaive knife, which looked exactly like the dead Guan Yu......

……

At three o'clock in the morning of the next day, the sky was hazy, the sky was foggy, the torches of the patrol soldiers on the city of Hefei had not yet been extinguished, the soldiers of Liu Beijun who had just come out for morning training were still yawning for days, Zhang Fei, who was depressed and had drunk all night's wine, was still pouring wine in the city, and the war-torn city of Hefei could temporarily enjoy a short moment of tranquility. Suddenly, the defenders of the city heard the footsteps of horses and shouts of killing in the distance, and immediately sounded the alarm, "The enemy is attacking the city, the enemy is attacking the city!" ”

"The enemy is coming, the enemy is coming." Liu Beijun and everyone grabbed their weapons, shouted and rushed to the city, nervously watching the movement outside the city, but Liu Beijun and everyone saw a picture that made them stunned - in the morning fog, Guan Yu, the general of Liu Beijun who should have been killed in battle, lifted the Qinglong Yanyue knife upside down, twisted his waist and long beard, and was riding towards Hefei City alone!

"Yide help me! Yide help me! That Guan Yu shouted in a Xie Liang accent, and in the distance, Dong Zhuojun shouted frantically to chase closer, "Don't let Guan Yu go, don't let Guan Yu go!" ”

"General Guan has appeared, General Guan has appeared!" Liu Beijun in the city didn't know who shouted, and the Liu Beijun soldiers in the shock were all over the place, shouting together, thinking that it was Guan Yu's ghost manifestation, Zhang Fei's deputy generals Fan Jiang and Zhang Da stumbled down the city wall, and quickly went to find Zhang Fei to report.

"Smack!" Fan Jiang flew up and kicked open Zhang Fei's door, and Zhang Da pulled up Zhang Fei, who was still holding the wine jar, and ran away, Zhang Fei was furious, struggling and shouting: "What are you doing? Pull me there? ”

"General Guan......, General Guan has come to Hefei City." Fan Jiang replied without continuing up.

"Nonsense!" Zhang Fei, who was drunk and hazy, said angrily: "My second brother died in the battle in Jiangnan as early as the third surname, and he died at the hands of the third family slave and Wei Yanxiaoer, how could he go to Hefei City?" If you talk nonsense again, I'll whip you horsewhips! ”

"It's true." Zhang Da hurriedly explained: "General Guan really came to the city, we saw it with our own eyes, and some people said that it was General Guan who appeared. ”

Although Guan Yu's body was snatched back to Xuzhou by Tai Shici, when it was transported to Xuzhou from Poyang Lake, Guan Yu's body was already decomposed and unrecognizable, Zhang Fei only learned from other mouths that it was the body of his second brother. Now that Zhang Fei is drunk, he hears that his second brother is still alive or has a spirit, so can he run up the city wall?

"Second brother!" Zhang Fei shouted frantically before he got on the city wall, and when he ran up the city wall, Zhang Fei really saw Guan Yu lifting the Qinglong Yanyue Knife upside down, and was shouting under the city, "Third brother! Third brother! And not far away, a Dong Zhuojun had already rushed over, constantly shouting the slogan of "Capture Guan Yu alive", and in Dong Zhuojun's team, there were even more than a dozen ghost-hunting Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes, holding peachwood swords, shaking the soul bell, chanting incantations that no one could understand, and quickly approaching Guan Yu.

"Yide save me! Wing De save me! Guan Yu ran back and forth under the city wall and shouted, echoing Zhang Fei's ecstatic voice in the city, "It's my second brother's accent!" It's my second brother's accent! He's really my second brother! Hurry up, open the city! ”

"Don't open the city!" Zhuge Liang's anxious roar came from the side, "This is the fake second general, the enemy pretended to deceive the third general, release arrows, release arrows to kill this fake second general!" Zhuge Liang complained bitterly in his heart, scolded Sima Yi for his shameless despicability, and was able to come up with such an immoral idea as using Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's brotherly affection to deceive the city - Zhuge Liang had already forgotten all about Dong Erjun's affairs.

"Woohoo!" The arrows on the city rained down, according to Zhuge Liang's order to shoot the fake Guan Yu, but Liu Beijun saw the hell in broad daylight, and usually respected the authority of the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang, and most of the arrows shot fell to a distant position away from the fake Guan Yu, and only a few arrows fell weakly to Guan Yu's side. With a choking sound, Zhang Fei pulled out his sword and swung his sword to slash Liu Beijun's soldiers, "Don't shoot my second brother!" Don't my second brother! ”

"Third general, calm down." Zhuge Liang hurriedly persuaded: "This is a fake second general, who is here to trick you into opening the city!" ”

Before Zhuge Liang's words fell, Guan Yu under the city shouted again, "Third brother, farewell!" Farewell! It turned out that Dong Zhuojun had chased after Guan Yu, Guan Yu had no choice but to run and flee into the distance, but Dong Zhuojun chased after him and did not attack the city. Zhang Fei saw such a scene, and heard the second brother's parting words, he couldn't bear it, cried and pushed Zhuge Liang away, rushed down to the city, and shouted as he ran, "Pick up the people and horses, follow me to save my second brother!" ”

Fan Jiang and Zhang Da were usually scared by Zhang Fei, and immediately picked up Zhang Fei's headquarters and rushed to the city gate with Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang had already stood in front of the door with Liu Bei's sword, who knew that Zhuge Liang had not had time to speak, Zhang Fei in the madness had already whipped him to the ground with a horsewhip, and stabbed the commander of the door with another spear, shouting: "Open the city!" The soldiers of Liu Beijun next to him were frightened, and hurriedly opened the city gate, and Zhang Fei's army immediately rushed out of the city.
