Being able to hold on to Chang'an for a few months and not be conquered by Yan Liang and Ma Chao was, of course, not Cao Tai's credit, but one of his fierce generals, Wen Ping, and two young generals, Hao Zhao and Jiang Wei.

Chang'an City was already tall, easy to defend and difficult to attack, plus with these three generals, the idea of defending the city was one after another, and the Yuan army and the Xiliang army were defeated in succession. Cao Tai knew that his martial arts were mediocre and his intelligence was not high, so he simply became the shopkeeper and handed over the right to command the army to Hao Zhao, who drank in Chang'an City for two months. It was this decision that allowed him to firmly defend the city.

..............

Jingzhou.

Xiangyang.

Ten miles north of Xiangyang City, Liu Bei set up a large camp.

This large camp does not even have a door, it is completely open, and there are no arrow towers, horse rejection and other facilities, and it is on the open ground. In normal times, no one patrols, and even the soldiers standing guard are staggering.

The whole feels like a rabble.

If there are tens of thousands of cavalry, bravely rushing in, they will be invincible.

However, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, who were stationed in Xiangyang City, simply resisted and did not send troops, they firmly believed that this was Zhuge Liang's bait, and once they rushed into the camp, they would be surrounded.

this day.

Zhang Liao didn't know which tendon was wrong, he actually had the idea of attacking the camp.

Xu Huang persuaded: "Zhuge Liang is good at using soldiers, and he knows more about Qimen gossip, and the camps he sets up all imply formations, and the general should not be taken lightly." It is better to stick to Xiangyang. ”

The two of them stood on the castle tower, looking at the sky.

Zhang Liao said: "Of course I understand. But... Let's think about it the other way, Zhuge Liang also understands our thoughts, will he be suspicious, but in fact the camp is empty? Besides, it's been seven days in a row, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Chen Zhi and other generals have not appeared, only one horseman Zhang Fei, leading a hundred horsemen, to challenge outside the city, this is not logical, Liu Beijun came here, isn't it just to attack the city, why does he only challenge... Seems to be stalling for time? ”

"But Zhuge Liang is in the camp, I am very sure of this! With him here, Liu Beijun's main force is there, and we are going out of the city to fight, which is extremely risky, and it is important to defend the city. Xu Huang said.

Zhang Liao hesitated a little, gritted his teeth and said: "General Xu, I only led three thousand light cavalry to attack Zhuge Liang's camp, no matter whether he wins or loses, the general cannot send troops to rescue or respond, even if he sees me surrounded, he can't come to help." ”

"Why do you bother?"

"We have been besieged by Liu Bei's army for a while, and we must break the deadlock, because the prime minister wants to face Yuan Xi, and there is no extra force to rush to Jingzhou, we can only rely on ourselves to defeat Zhuge Liang. If you don't dare to take risks and miss the opportunity, it may be difficult to win. ”

In fact, Xu Huang was also very puzzled in his heart.

He is more eager than Zhang Liao to know what the mystery of Zhuge Liang's camp is.

"Since the general insists, I agree to send troops... Give Zhuge Liang a try! Xu Huang said: "But the general can't go, you are a general of the Chinese army, you should be with me, in the position of command, how can you take risks lightly?" In case you make a mistake, how can I explain it to the prime minister? I have brave generals Hu Cai and Li Le under my command, who have followed me for many years and are enough to take on this important responsibility. ”

(Note: Hu Cai and Li Le, the former generals under Yang Feng, are also famous generals of the White Wave Thieves.) When Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, Yang Feng led the army to return to the imperial court, and then Li Dao and Guo Yan held the Son of Heaven hostage, Yang Feng escorted the Son of Heaven back to Luoyang, and Cao Cao, who was rushed to the rescue, surrendered, and since then, Hu Cai, Li Le, Xu Huang, etc., have returned to Cao Cao. ）

"Okay."

Zhang Liao nodded and said, "Just let them give it a try, we will watch the battle here." ”

Xu Huang sent people to pass on Hu Cai and Li Le.

Two generals soon arrived.

Xu Huang assigned them a task, and instructed: "Zhang Fei is brave and incomparable, if you encounter it, you don't have to fight with it, just bypass Zhang Fei, go straight to the Chinese army's account, and take Zhuge Liang." If you encounter an ambush, evacuate immediately. ”

"No..."

Hu Cai and Li Le led the troops.

Da Da...

Three thousand horsemen flew to Zhuge Liang's camp.

In just ten miles, it is here in the blink of an eye.

Because they were on the plains and condescending, Xu Huang and Zhang Liao could completely see the situation on the battlefield ahead.

I saw that the cavalry led by Hu Cai and Li Le successfully entered Zhuge Liang's camp.

"Phew! Who will come? From the depths of the camp, a tiger-backed and cross-eyed general ran out, holding a snake spear in his hand, screaming. It was Liu Bei's brother-in-law Zhang Fei.

Behind him, there were more than 100 cavalrymen, all armed with spears and carrying bows and arrows.

Seeing this, Hu Cai and Li Le did not answer Zhang Fei's words, and ordered: "Rush in and capture Zhuge Liang!" ”

"Kill..." Three thousand horsemen continued to charge.

"Ahh Zhang Fei ran with a shout, and ran head-on into more than a dozen enemy soldiers, and the spears swept violently, and all the enemy soldiers were sent flying. More than 100 horsemen faced Hu Cai and Li Le from the front, and simply blocked the attack.

It looks incredible.

Zhang Fei's bravery is even more staggering.

If his spear is waved casually, it will have the power of hundreds of catties, and those who block it will die.

"Thief, suffer death!" Zhang Fei didn't look down on ordinary enemy soldiers, his eyes rolled wildly, staring directly at Li Le in the distance. Ran in the direction of Li Le.

Li Le knew that he was invincible and retreated backwards.

Zhang Fei chased after him, took out the bow and arrow under the saddle and shot it: "Whoosh! ”

Zhang Fei's archery skills are also excellent, with a distance of 100 steps, and Li Le passes through his chest.

"Ahh Li Le fell to the ground and died.

Hu Cai, who was not far from Li Le, was already scared when he saw this scene.

At this moment, many flags were erected in the depths of the camp, and the drums thundered: "Knock knock..." "Hundreds of flags were waving, smoke and dust were billowing out, as if a large army was coming.

Hu Cai hurriedly retreated: "Retreat!" Evacuate! ”

So, the 3,000 horsemen who had just arrived at Zhuge Liang's camp rushed and retreated before the battle began.

Xu Huang, who was watching the battle on the city tower, sighed heavily: "Alas! Zhuge Liang really set up an ambush, fortunately you didn't go just now, otherwise I would have been unable to protect Xiangyang in order to save you. ”

"No!"

Zhang Liao stared at the battlefield intently, a little excited, and suddenly said: "My thoughts are just the opposite of yours, I think that Zhuge Liang's camp does not have many ambushes, or even no ambushes." ”

"Oh? This.... Xu Huang said puzzledly: "Didn't we all see it just now, Zhuge Liang's ambush has been killed..." ”

"That's not an ambush, it's a suspicious soldier!" Zhang Liao said excitedly: "Gongming, think about it, if it is an ambush, he should wait for Hu Cai and Li Le's troops to enter, and then surround them from all directions, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop." But Hu Cai and Li Le have not yet entered the camp, and they are still fighting with Zhang Fei at the gate of the camp, and the ambush soldiers are in a hurry to come out, how does this look like killing the enemy? It's clearly intimidation, trying to scare our army away! I'm sure that Liu Bei's army must have gone somewhere else, Zhuge Liang's camp, which is already empty! ”
