When Yuan Shao attacked and merged with the state, Liu Bei was not idle.

The entire Ningzhou has also been taken by Liu Bei for a year, and because Liu Bei stationed heavy troops and moved all the nobles of all tribes out of Ningzhou, this year, Ningzhou was also quite calm.

However, at the beginning of this year, there was a severe drought in Ningzhou, and the harvest of the people in Ningzhou was much worse all of a sudden, so some of the original small nobles in the seven counties of Ningzhou began to be restless!

At the beginning, they robbed the poor of their food, and then gradually formed horse bandits of different sizes, hiding in the mountains and forests in Ningzhou!

Among them, the horse bandits in the three counties of Yushu County, Guoluo County and Huangnan County are the most rampant, but the horse bandits in these three counties are not several or even dozens of horse bandit teams, but are basically unified into one, and there are almost more than 10,000 people!

Although there are more than 10,000 people, they do not dare to attack the county seat and county governance, but villages and the like are not spared at all!

However, because Huang Zhong and Yan Yan only had an army of 50,000, and they needed to guard against the tribes in the Tibetan region of the plateau, and also to maintain law and order in each county, they could not gather too many people to encircle and suppress the horse bandits for a while, so in the end, Tian Feng, Huang Zhong and Yan Yan exchanged hands and let Huang Zhong lead 10,000 Longxiang troops to crusade against the horse bandits in each county!

At the same time, Liu Bei also led 2,000 women's troops from Chang'an! And this time, Liu Bei inspected Ningzhou and also brought Naduo, the former Ningzhou general!

Although he had to pass through Yongzhou and Liangzhou, Liu Bei also knew that the situation in Ningzhou was urgent, so he rushed directly to Ningzhou to make a stop!

Rushing all the way for a month, Liu Bei rushed to Ningliang County in Ningzhou, at this time there were more than a dozen horse bandits in Ningliang County, more than 1,000 people, and more than 200 people.

Knowing that Liu Bei had entered Ningliang County, the leaders of these dozen or so horse bandits gathered together.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since Liu Bei forcibly occupied our ancestral land, our lives have deteriorated, there were slaves who grazed and farmed for us, but now we still need to hire people or do it ourselves, and these untouchables now have their own fields and are not willing to work for us! So life is getting harder!

Now I heard that Liu Bei only led 2,000 ladies into Ningzhou, and the total number of men here is less than 10,000 horses, if we can surround Liu Bei or kill Liu Bei.

As soon as Liu Bei dies, Ningzhou will inevitably be in chaos, so that we can take advantage of the chaos to recover our tribes. ”

As soon as the leader of the biggest horse bandits finished speaking, all the horse bandits below joined in.

"Okay, that's it."

"Big brother, you are the strongest in this, you say, what you do, we will listen to you."

"Yes, big brother, you can say what to do."

…………

In this way, I thank you for your love, but it is our duty to restore the cause of our ancestors, so I will be cheeky to be the Lord.

Look, this is the section of the road that Liangzhou must pass through to enter Ningliang County, and the mountains on both sides are undulating, which is an excellent place for ambush.

Due to the stability of Liangzhou and Ningzhou before, there was no one to guard this journey in Ningliang County.

On the contrary, there were many rebels in Ningzhou, so an army of 5,000 people was organized in Liangzhou to guard against Ningzhou.

Therefore, if we want to ambush Liu Bei, we can only be in Ningliang County, and we can only be on this necessary road. ”

"What the eldest brother said is extremely true. That's what we'll do. ”

……

"Everyone, don't be impatient, I will assign the task again:

Our troops were divided into three routes, and I led 3,000 men to block Liu Bei on the main road; The soldiers were divided into two routes to ambush on the mountains on both sides, and prepared more boulders.

When Liu Bei entered the ambush place, he pushed the boulder down the mountain to block Liu Bei's way, and at the same time blocked Liu Bei's reinforcements in Liangzhou. ”

"That's a great plan."

……

After that, everyone went out to prepare, and at the same time, Liu Bei had just left Liangzhou and just stepped into the territory of Ningliang County.

This time, Liu Bei inspected Ningzhou, Liangzhou, and Yongzhou, and the accompanying generals included Naduo, Yan Rui, Zhang Ji, Zhao Yun, Wen Chou, Pang De and Wang Wei.

"Lord, after the valley ahead, you can reach the county rule of Ningliang County in one day!" Zhao Yun rode forward and whispered in Liu Bei's ear.

"In this way, all the soldiers are working hard to reach their destination today!" Liu Bei also said happily when he heard this!

"Report, lord, the road ahead is unobstructed, and there are no rebels such as horse bandits and thieves, so you can pass smoothly!" Scout Pegasus in brocade clothes to Liu Bei's horse!

"Okay, order the army to pass through the valley as soon as possible, and at the same time order more scouts, but the valley ahead is an excellent place to ambush us!" Liu Bei ordered immediately.

Then the group did not pause, and once again stepped on the war horse and headed towards Ningliang County. At this time, the Central Plains was in turmoil and strife, and although Liu Bei was temporarily unable to go south or go east, he hoped to sit in Luoyang and watch the situation in the world, so this inspection, the women's army was one person and two horses.

The army marched forward for half a day, and suddenly there was a rumbling sound from behind the army, like a piece of thunder in the clear sky! Hearing this, Liu Bei hurriedly called Pang De, who was in the rear army!

"Ling Ming, what's going on behind the scenes, and what's going on with this rumbling sound?" Liu Bei asked!

"Lord, my subordinates have sent scouts to the back to check, and there will be results soon!" Pound spoke!

"Report, lord, General Pang, there was a landslide ten miles behind the army, and a large number of boulders blocked the road from Ningliang County to Liangzhou!" One of the scouts said in a hurry!

"Landslides? Have you ever seen a suspicious person in the mountains? Liu Bei immediately became alert when he heard this, and then hurriedly asked!

"After the subordinates discovered the landslide, they came to report to the lord first, and the other scouts continued to explore the peaks on both sides." The scout said nervously!

"Quick, continue to investigate, I feel that this landslide is not a natural phenomenon, Ling Ming, you personally led a 500 women's army to explore the specific situation in the rear!

The rest of the generals will rest on the spot with me, and make a decision after Ling Ming's investigation results! After Liu Bei finished speaking, a kind of general took the order and left.

However, less than a cup of tea after Pang De left, the striker Yan Rui personally went to Liu Bei's horse, "The lord has about 3,000 men and horses in front of him, and he is killing our army with great momentum!" ”

As soon as Yan Rui's words fell, Pang De rushed over and said: "My lord, the scouts came to report that there are about 3,000 ambushes hidden on the mountains on both sides of the valley. If you have tea time, you will be able to make contact with our army! ”

"What, there are nearly 10,000 troops trying to besiege me? Lord, Yun is willing to be the striker and help the lord fight out of the encirclement! Although Zhao Yun was not afraid when he heard this, he was also surprised!

"Indeed, at this time, we have no way to retreat, we can only move forward bravely, in this way, Zilong, Yan Rui, and you are the forwards, leading a women's army, opening the way for our army in front, once we break through, we will immediately rush to the Ningliang County Governor's Office, mobilize troops and horses to encircle and suppress the horse bandits, there should be 5,000 leopard Tao troops stationed in Ningliang County, and it is enough to transfer 4,000 leopard Tao troops!"

As soon as Liu Bei's words were ready, Zhao Yun and Yan Rui took the order and left. As soon as Zhao Yun and Yan Rui left, Liu Bei began to instruct again:

"Ling Ming, you will lead 500 women's troops as the rear army to block the enemy from behind, and the rest of the generals will lead the rest of the troops to resist the left and right flanks with me, and work hard to break out of the encirclement!"

"No."

After that, Liu Bei and a group of generals led their respective armies to disperse!
