Chapter 15 Showing weakness to the enemy

Zhao Yi struggled to break free of Zhang Fei's shackles: "The two generals are calm and don't be impatient, I have my own plans." ”

"Have your own plans? With more than 700 of us alone, how can we compete with the Yellow Turban thieves who are twice as large as us! Zhang Fei snorted heavily.

Zhao Yi groped his chin and the corners of his mouth hooked up: "Yide, don't worry, since I can defeat thousands of elite horsemen with two hundred people, naturally seven hundred people will defeat the Yellow Turban Thief twice as many as me." And I will go with you to rejoice, if I have no strategy to control the enemy, will I also lose my own life? ”

After saying this, Zhang Fei's face became a little better, and he turned over and went to Anxi County with Zhao Yi. Before leaving, Zhao Yi whispered a few words in Liao Hua's ear, and Liao Hua kept nodding his head when he heard it.

Zhao Yi took the soldiers to Anxi County, Liu Bei was very enthusiastic, and the two sides had a tacit understanding that they did not mention the matter of the five thousand loads of military rations, so as not to embarrass both sides.

"Visiting the Malay newspaper, the Yellow Turban Thief is less than a hundred miles away from me. It is expected to arrive this evening, and I want to take advantage of the enemy's foothold to rob the camp, what does Brother Bolai think? Liu Bei asked Zhao Yi's opinion.

It's an option, but it's too dangerous. There are only more than 700 people in Anxi County, if they divide their troops to attack, it is good to win, but if they are surrounded by thieves in the camp, even if they break out of the encirclement, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties. Zhao Yi disapproves of this approach. Explain the stakes to Liu Bei: "We can't afford to lose on our side." Seeing Liu Bei's worried expression, Zhao Yi said with a smile: "Brother Xuande don't have to worry, before leaving, I have a strategy to break the enemy." ”

These words were like giving Liu Bei a reassuring pill, and the gloom on his face dissipated.

Zhao Yi invited Liu Bei to go to the city tower with him, and the rolling wood and thunder stones were piled up in the walkway of the city wall. Liu Bei had a very high reputation in the army, and many soldiers bowed and saluted.

Zhao Yi smiled at the corner of his mouth, although these soldiers were in a hurry in the face of a strong enemy, they were not flustered, Liu Bei really had a set of rules for governing the army.

There is a flat river outside Anxi County, and there is no vegetation covering it for more than ten miles, not to mention that even a rabbit can't hide it. Liu Bei asked Zhao Yi how the guards in Anxi County were.

The guards were indeed relatively tight, but Zhao Yi felt very passive. Here wait for someone else to fight: "Defend tightly, occupy favorable terrain, and hold on for seven days is not a problem." ”

Liu Bei opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by a tanma, and Tanma's tone was a little panicked: "My lord, the army of Yellow Turban thieves is less than thirty miles away from our city. ”

The corners of Liu Bei's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand to let the tanma go down. Zhao Yi stared at the west: "There are still more than eighty miles away from Anxi County in the early morning, but now the troops are already in the city, which can really be described as a noble and fast soldier." ”

The speed of the Yellow Turban Thief exceeded Liu Bei's expectations, and this half a day was enough to disrupt Liu Bei's plan, and his performance was relatively calm: "The army is prepared to prevent the thieves from attacking the city!" ”

In less than half an hour, Zhao Yi saw dust and smoke in the distance, and the Yellow Turban Army dressed in yellow appeared in the distance, and the aura of slaughter rushed towards him.

At the head was a general dressed in black rhino armor, and the word "Sun" was displayed in the wind behind him. It was Sun Zhong, the general of the Yellow Turban Army.

"This Sun Zhong is menacing, and he is carrying trebuchets and other siege weapons, it seems that he is determined to win Anxi County." Zhao Yi squinted.

Liu Bei said approvingly: "This Yellow Turban Army wants to capture my Anxi County, and it will drive straight into the 50,000 Yellow Turban Army that attacked Zhuo County, and the attack is bound to be fierce and fierce. ”

"You can send Yun Chang to behead his generals and frustrate the enemy's spirit." Zhao Yi said.

While Zhao Yi was looking at the Yellow Turban Army, Sun Zhong was also looking at Anxi County. His subordinate Tanma came back and reported: "My lord, this morning Zhao Yi led 400 troops to support Liu Bei. ”

Hearing the words Zhao Yi, Sun Zhong frowned and waved his hand to let the horse go down, the Yellow Turban Army suffered losses in the hands of Zhao Yi one after another, and finally this time Han Zhong's troops were annihilated by Zhao Yi, which made the word Zhao Yi spread all over the Yellow Turban Army. It was for fear of slowing down the march time, so the Yellow Turban Xiaofang generals abandoned Fan Yang to attack Anxi first. At this time, Zhao Yi was in the city, and it seemed that there would be variables in attacking Anxi County.

"Zhao Yi is used to conspiracy, and the general must be careful." A strategist in a robe beside him admonished.

His own troops are twice as large as Zhao Yi, Sun Zhong has no reason to retreat without a fight, even if Zhao Yi is witty, he can't stop his army from advancing. , Sun Zhong waved his hand forward: "I will first kill his general, mess with his army's morale, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack the city tower." There are siege weapons such as trebuchets and ballistas, I don't believe that Zhao Yi'er can stop it! ”

The strategist next to him stroked his beard: "The general's clever plan, Zhao Yi's subordinate Liao Hua is not to worry, but Liu Bei's subordinates Guan and Zhang are known for their prestige, and the general must not ignore them." ”

Seeing Sun Zhong's army approaching, Zhao Yi called Guan Yu to whisper a few words in his ear. Guan Yu raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean, sir?" ”

"Yun Chang can do as I say." Zhao Yi didn't say much.

Guan Yu didn't refute again, and stood aside with a knife.

Sun Zhong under the city sent his subordinate Zhang Lin to call for battle: "Liu Bei Xiao'er, come down quickly and die!" ”

Guan Yu slapped his horse out: "The thief will be crazy, Guan Yu is here!" ”

The spear in Zhang Lin's hand turned to Guan Yu's door and stabbed it, but was knocked out by the glaive knife in Guan Yu's hand, and the two sides fought, and the sound of weapons colliding was endless.

The two have been battling each other for more than 30 rounds, and they are still evenly matched. Liu Bei, who was watching the battle at the city gate, stared at Guan Yu and Zhang Lin, who were fighting fiercely in the field: "My second brother's martial arts are extraordinary, even if he is not far behind a famous general." Sun Zhong actually has a fierce general like Zhang Lin under him, and my Anxi County is in danger. At the same time, he instructed Zhang Fei to go out of the city as soon as possible to rescue Guan Yu if he was defeated.

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yi's mouth, and he didn't show a worried look like Liu Bei and the others, his eyes were staring at the warring parties. The heart said that Guan Yu's acting skills were not bad.

Sun Zhong, who was watching the battle below, was also staring at the fight in the field: "General Zhang Lin is one of the best generals in a hundred, Guan Yu can fight with him for dozens of rounds without defeat, which is also considered brave, no wonder we have repeatedly suffered losses in the hands of Liu Bei before." ”

Different from the mood of the spectators, the more Zhang Lin beat his heart, the more surprised he became, after fighting fiercely for so long, he already felt a little exhausted, but Guan Yu seemed to have inexhaustible strength, and his strength and speed were the same as when he fought before.

The two sides fought for nearly eighty rounds, and it was already quite difficult to raise the spear in Zhang Lin's hand, so Guan Yu picked off the spear and swung a knife to behead Zhang Lin. The soldiers on Liu Bei's side were jubilant.

Guan Yu stroked his beard lightly, and the corners of his mouth showed a smile, and he turned the horse's head to return to the city, when a voice suddenly came from behind: "Guan Yu is leaving!" "I saw a general with a long knife coming over.

Guan Yu turned the horse's head and fought fiercely, the two sides fought for more than ten rounds, and there was still no winner, Liu Bei looked at the city nervously, and Zhang Fei arrived at the city early to prepare to respond.

Guan Yu fought with this general for dozens of rounds, and finally beheaded this person under the horse. Sun Zhong's troops were defeated one after another, and their morale was greatly reduced.

At this time, it was already dusk, and Guan Yu snorted lightly and returned to the city.

Liu Bei has been watching the battle from the city: "Yun Chang, I don't watch Zhang Lin very well, how can I fight with you for so many rounds?" Whether you are sick or not, it is better to play by Yide tomorrow. ”

Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei, and then at Zhao Yi, his face turned even redder, but he didn't say anything.

Zhao Yi comforted Liu Bei: "Xuande Gong must not worry, if it is a real fight, Zhang Lin is not Yun Chang's enemy at all, I asked Yun Chang to deliberately show weakness." ”

"Why is that?" Zhang Fei asked Zhao Yi with wide eyes. From the interpretation of Yan Yan, it can be seen that Zhang Fei is a bit of a city government, but he has no strategy. He couldn't guess Zhao Yi's strategy.

"You'll find out tomorrow." Zhao Yi did not explain, but whispered a few words in Guan Yu's ear, and then asked Guan Yu to rest.

Early the next morning, Sun Zhong was discussing things with the strategists in the camp tent, and a soldier came to report: "General, Guan Yu has come to call for battle!" ”

Sun Zhong waved his hand to let the soldier go down and slapped the table: "It's too much of a deception!" Get my weapon! ”

Seeing that Sun Zhong was going to take action in person, the strategist in the robe hurriedly stopped: "As a general, how can a general go into battle easily!" ”

Sun Zhong said while putting on his cloak: "I watched Guan Yu fight twice yesterday, and I have estimated his combat strength. Besides, our side has already lost two battles in a row, and if we lose another battle, our spirit will definitely be even lower. ”

"The general is right, but ......" what else the strategist was going to say.

was interrupted by Sun Zhong: "Sir, don't say any more, look at me for three rounds, I will definitely kill Guan Yu under the horse!" As he spoke, he stepped across the horse with a long knife in his hand.

"Guan Yu Xiao'er is going to be arrogant, look at the knife!" Sun Zhong rode his horse and slashed at Guan Yu's neck.

But it was picked away by Guan Yu's knife even faster, and the huge force from the knife made Sun Zhong's hands numb, and his face showed surprise. The two sides fought for less than two rounds, and Sun Zhong was cut off by Guan Yu's head.

The drummer on Sun Zhong's side even forgot to beat the drum and was stunned. Guan Yu waved the glaive knife in his hand: "Kill!" "The soldiers came out of the gates.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu each led a team like a wedge into Sun Zhong's military camp, looking at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who were walking in the midst of thousands of armies as if they were in a no-man's land, Zhao Yi's eyes flashed, and he said in his heart that he was worthy of being the five tiger generals.

Sun Zhong died, and the Yellow Turban Army suddenly panicked, even though they outnumbered Liu Bei's side, they lost the courage to resist. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led their troops to enter, as if harvesting people's heads.

Liu Bei was excited when he saw it: "Thanks to Brother Bolai's clever plan, otherwise my Anxi County would be in danger!" ”

If Guan Yu is not allowed to show weakness, how can he lead Sun Zhong to fight? Zhao Yi smiled politely, watching the battlefield, Guan Yu and the two rushed to kill a round, killing more than 400 enemies, and the remaining soldiers put down their weapons one after another.

Nearly 1,000 troops were surrendered, and Liu Bei showed a smile on his face, not only won the victory, but also replenished the soldiers, and thanked Zhao Yi again and again.

"Brother Xuande, don't be polite, Bolai still has something to ask for." Zhao Yi arched his hand and said.

Liu Bei smiled and cautiously asked Zhao Yi what was the matter.

Zhang Fei snorted with the Zhangba snake spear in his hand: "You have already received five thousand loads of grain from us, and you even asked for something." As he spoke, he waved the spear in his hand and aimed it at Zhao Yi.

"Yide must not be rude." The spear was lowered a little by Liu Bei, and he turned his head to look at Zhao Yi: "Brother Bolai, please speak." ”
