Chapter 3: Strange Defeat

Gan Ning asked for war at that time and said that he could block Guan Yu by giving him 500 elite soldiers, and Lu Su chose 1,000 people for him at the moment. Gan Ning rushed upstream overnight to fortify. When Guan Yu heard that Gan Ning was coming, he gave up the plan to cross the river when he saw that the other party was prepared, and tied firewood on the bank as a military camp to rest.

How could the general who didn't dare to take the risk of the second brother Guan be an ordinary man? If you want to talk about martial arts, Gan Ning is even more of a tyrant in Jiangdong, on par with Tai Shici, Sun Ce and others, and even Huang Gai, Zhou Tai and others are afraid that they are not as good as themselves. With such a fierce general rushing left and right in the formation, wouldn't the enemy army be scattered at once? But the result? A thousand mountain bandits, Liu Cong is very puzzled......

There is also Wei Yan, who is both civil and military, a rising star who is not a bird Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei can actually guard the gate Hanzhong for Shu Han, and release a bold statement to the lord, "If the Wei army of 100,000 comes to attack, the minister will swallow it, and if the Wei army raises the strength of the whole country to attack, the minister will refuse it!" "What a confidence!

Historical records: Liu Bei became the king of Hanzhong, and the political and military center was about to move to Chengdu. Because it was Guan Yu who guarded Jingzhou, the brother of the eldest brother, he was naturally the best candidate for Taishou in Hanzhong.

Liu Bei promoted Wei Yan as the governor, the governor of Hanzhong, and was named the general of Zhenyuan, leading Hanzhong to defend the Taishou, and the army was shocked. Although Liu Bei's own skills are mediocre, when it comes to Ren Xian, he still has his own set, and this choice has also been proven to be wise!

At the beginning, Liu Bei asked Wei Yan: "Now that the secretary is entrusted with a heavy responsibility, what is the desire of the secretary?" Yan said: "If Cao Cao comes from all over the world, please refuse it for the king; Partial to the 100,000 people, please swallow it for the king. Liu Bei praised: "Good", and everyone thought what he said was very imposing.

You must know that the period when Wei Yan guarded Hanzhong was when the Shu Han regime was in danger. In the second half of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Liu Bei's three counties of Jingzhou were seized by his ally Sun Quan, and Guan Yu was also killed by Eastern Wu.

Liu Bei was furious, and soon after he became emperor, he poured all his country's strength east to conquer Sun Quan, but was defeated by Lu Xun of Eastern Wu in the Battle of Yiling. This defeat led to a commotion and rebellion within the newly established Shu Han regime, and Cao Wei could attack Hanzhong at any time, but because Wei Yan governed the army in a good way and guarded it properly, Cao Wei did not dare to peep into Hanzhong, and later after Wei Yan's death, Wang Ping and others followed Wei Yan's policy of guarding and successfully repelled the attack of Cao Wei's army.

Even if Wei Yan is not mature enough at this time, his martial arts should be almost there, not to mention that the bandits are a group of rabble.

However, a southern county guard, a state shepherd, the second son of the county lieutenant, led such two tiger generals, and the 3,500 regular army was actually defeated by more than 1,000 mountain bandits, what a shame!

He returned to Xiangyang like this, although Liu Biao would not blame, after all, Wu Ju was the main general, but in the future, he was only afraid that he would be looked down upon in Xiangyang, even if he reluctantly took over the throne, these wealthy families in Xiangyang would not really follow him, and Cao Cao's army would inevitably surrender to the fate of Juzhou. No, you have to work hard to get back into the passive situation, even if you can't get back Zigui, you have to defeat those mountain bandits on the battlefield, even if you organize a game team to sneak attack a few times!

In Liu Cong's opinion, even if he took Gan Ning and Wei Yan with him, he could learn from Zhao Zilong to go to the mountain bandit camp like he did in Changbanpo back then, and kill a few back and forth! Thinking of this, Liu Cong couldn't help but smile easily, and first look at the situation of the soldiers in the barracks.

After Wei Yan and the others entered the tent, they were first overjoyed when they saw Liu Cong wake up, but when they saw Liu Cong sitting there in a daze, he didn't make a sound for a long time, so he looked at me, and I looked at you. I'm afraid there will be some accidents.

Gan Ning couldn't help but cough after all, reminding Liu Cong not to be in a daze.

"Sit down, what's going on outside?" Liu Cong looked at Wei Yan, and then looked at Gan Ning, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he was wronged by that dead ghost, how could he be defeated. Both of them are the best of the best!

"Lord Duwei, it's Gan Ning's song that is making noise. I want to escape......," replied one of the marquis.

"Fart! If you weren't spreading rumors in private, how would they be making a noise? Gan Ning was also unconvinced.

"Wei Yan, is there such a thing?" Liu Cong knew that Gan Ning was not the kind of perfidious villain, but his subordinates were not so easy to restrain either.

"Lord Duwei......" Wei Yan's prophecy stopped, although he himself felt that Gan Ning was not such a person, but there were so many people under his command, it was difficult to guarantee that no one would have an affair with the mountain bandits, even if there was no fornication, the bandits came up, and it was possible to escape without restraint. Now that Liu Cong asked, Wei Yan didn't know how to answer.

Liu Cong looked at the other two Qu Junhou, they couldn't insist that the Gan Ning Department was ready to escape, after all, everything was just speculation!

Gan Ning is also anxious, but he can't prove his innocence, since last night, many of his subordinates did encourage him to lead the team to leave, but at that time, Liu Cong, the second son of Du Wei, has been in a coma, and now, Du Wei is awake, he will not let Gan Ning leave freely. One to three, Gan Ning didn't dare to make a mistake!

Liu Cong was also worried that Gan Ning would not be able to restrain his subordinates, and he really wanted the bandits to not fight. If you have another internal infighting, this face is lost! Alas...... What to do? "Wu Taishou, do you have any news?" Liu Cong saw that several people wanted to speak and stopped, and there was no way to delve into this matter, so he changed the topic.

"I heard that I have returned to Yiling." Huang Quan whispered on the side.

"This bastard!" Liu Cong stood up suddenly.

This main general, Wu Juzhen, is really more pustuated than Liu Cong in his previous life, and he actually retreated directly without organizing resistance, and he didn't even care about the safety of the second son? Could it be that he deliberately abandoned it?

Several military marquis who were originally sitting in the tent also hurriedly stood up, and looked at Liu Cong with strange eyes, thinking that the second prince seemed to wake up differently this time, at least in terms of momentum, it was not as submissive as before. actually opened his mouth to scold Wu Juwang bastard, but he was like an old fritter who had been in the barracks for many years. Of course, the soldiers prefer such a second son, and Gan Ning and Wei Yan are no exception.

It's no wonder that Liu Cong is angry, he is the second son, although the official rank is lower than Wu Ju, but in Xiangyang, those long histories, school captains, and Sima are polite when they see him, after all, he is the second son, and the Cai family is powerful in Xiangyang, Liu Cong married his stepmother Cai's niece, Cai Mao's daughter as his wife.

If the heroes rise up together, although Liu Biao is not the emperor, but everyone consciously regards Jingzhou as Liu Biao's private family, Liu Cong is very likely to inherit the throne, this Wu Ju actually dared to throw Liu Cong and run away by himself, either he was scared and confused, or he was fearless and did not take Liu Biao in his eyes. There is also a possibility that it is deliberate, hoping that the mountain bandits will kill Liu Cong!

Or both, but Liu Cong estimates that the first one is more likely, but even this is unforgivable.

"Wei Yan, have you made it clear? How many enemies are there? Liu Cong didn't want to hold on to Wu Ju's affairs, so he had better understand the situation first, and if the enemy was too strong, he would temporarily take the team to a safe place, and then go back and organize some warriors to engage in guerrilla warfare before returning to Xiangyang. If the enemy is not strong, you can organize a counterattack.

"Hui Yu, according to the report sent by the last general, the enemy is about 2,000 men, about thirty miles away from us, probably preparing to attack Yiling after resting." Wei Yan can also understand Liu Cong's mood, Wu Ju abandons it, and anyone who changes it will be angry, not to mention the delicate second son.

"Two thousand?" Liu Cong asked.

"It's almost two thousand, the exact number can't be found, and the actual number may not be that much." Wei Yan thought that Liu Cong was scared in his heart, and Liu Cong would be really ashamed.

The previous intelligence was a thousand mountain bandits, even if a thousand were recruited temporarily, these people had no training at all and had no combat effectiveness at all, so Wu Ju and Liu Cong were defeated like this?

Liu Cong was about to sit down and discuss countermeasures with a few subordinates, when the noise outside became louder, and a soldier hurriedly ran in, "Report to Lord Duwei, the Xiangyang soldiers outside and those Jiang * bandits are about to fight." ”

Liu Cong glanced at Gan Ning after hearing this, Gan Ning's eyes widened angrily, but this soldier was not afraid, it seems that it is not an isolated phenomenon that Xiangyang soldiers do not accept Gan Ning and others, and even the previous Liu Cong was only afraid of such an attitude in private, otherwise this soldier would not be so bold and completely ignored Gan Ning's feelings.
