Volume 1 The First Entry into the Three Kingdoms Chapter 89 Breaking Zhang Bao (1)
After dragging Xiaohuangmen Zuofeng, Liu Yi hurriedly wrote a letter and sent someone to Lu Zhi at the foot of the mountain.
Lu Zhi was overjoyed to learn that Liu Yi had dragged Zuo Feng as he said in the morning, but when he saw that he had written in the letter that he would prepare a jewel to bribe Zuo Feng in three days, Lu Zhi was a little angry in his heart.
Thinking that he was a dignified Zhonglang general who was going to give a gift to a little yellow door, Lu Zhi was unhappy.
Liu Yi knew that Lu Zhi's temperament would definitely not agree to bribe Zuo Feng, so he deliberately wrote in the letter that if he did not prepare the bribe, Liu Yi would prepare it instead.
Seeing this, Lu Zhi couldn't help but think that Liu Yi and others had saved themselves from danger, and then rescued their own army in the valley, and now they spared no effort to buy time for themselves. Every time he thought of this, Lu Zhi felt that he owed Liu Yi a lot, how could he let Liu Yi bribe Zuo Feng for him now.
"Alas~ It looks like I'm really old" Lu Zhi sighed and secretly made up his mind.
"You go and prepare some gold and silver belongings," Lu Zhi waved his hand and ordered the guards beside him.
Although the guard was puzzled, he did not dare to ask more, and hurriedly answered before going down to prepare.
In the blink of an eye, in the evening, Lu Zhi had just had a hasty dinner in the mansion when he heard a report from someone outside that Liu Bei was coming to see him.
"Please!"
……
In less than a minute, Liu Bei walked into Lu Zhi's room with Sun Fei.
"See your lord!"
"But what's the news?" Lu Zhi asked eagerly.
Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, "Lord Huiyu, the last general has already figured out the enemy's situation!" ”
"Tell me about it!"
When Liu Bei heard this, he hurriedly informed Lu Zhi of the news that his subordinates had inquired about, and Lu Zhi hurriedly asked people to go to the mountain to invite Liu Yi after hearing it.
It is said that Liu Yi was in a good mood after getting Zuo Feng's promise to stay for three days, but when he remembered the three pills that Li Daochang gave to Zuo Feng during the day, he suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart.
Those pills, as Li Daochang said, are indeed poisonous, the so-called make people ruddy, in fact, it is doped with some heavy metals in the pills, people take heavy metal poisoning after causing facial redness, if you only eat one, there will be no big reaction in a short time, if you use more, I am afraid it will be life-threatening.
The guilty thought in Liu Yi's heart was fleeting, because he knew that in this turbulent era, benevolence, righteousness and kindness could not save lives, let alone that. Zuo Feng is not a good bird, if he hadn't acted in a life-saving scene and bribed him heavily, I'm afraid he wouldn't know how to make things difficult for himself now.
Liu Yi was thinking about these things here, when suddenly Zhang Fei and several of his subordinates walked into the big tent with one of them.
"Get on your knees!" Zhang Fei said as he pushed the man to the ground.
After the man fell to the ground, he hurriedly got up and begged for mercy, "Lord Liu, the villain is really Lord Lu's subordinate!" The villain is here to report the news, not a spy! ”
Liu Yi was stunned by this sudden scene, and couldn't help but look at Zhang Fei and asked, "Yide, what's the situation?" ”
Seeing Liu Yi's question, Zhang Fei replied, "I was patrolling with a few brothers just now, and I saw this guy sneakily loitering around the camp, so I went up and caught him!" Lord, I think this guy must be Zhang Bao's spy."
Liu Yi was shocked when he heard this, and turned his head to look angrily at the man kneeling on the ground.
The man heard Zhang Fei say that he was Zhang Bao's spy, and hurriedly explained to Liu Yi, "Lord Liu, the villain is not Zhang Bao's spy, the villain is Lord Lu's guard, and this time he came to invite Lord Liu into the city to discuss matters on the order of Lord Lu!" ”
"Fart! How can anyone call someone to discuss matters in the middle of the night, besides, since you are Lord Lu's guard, why did you hide when I called you just now! Zhang Fei asked loudly.
When the man heard this, tears fell, and he replied, "The villain didn't hide just now, but he was in a hurry to release water on the road, who knew that he heard the sound of General Zhang shouting just halfway through, and I was just about to hide and lift my pants when I was carried by you, the general!" ”
Hearing this, Liu Yi's eyes swept over the man's lower body, and saw that there was indeed a wet trace on the man's crotch, and then looked at the person's face, Liu Yi suddenly remembered, he had indeed seen this person in Lu Zhi's Mansion in the past few days.
"Brother, get up!" After confirming the identity of this person, Liu Yi hurriedly leaned over to help the person.
After picking up the man, Liu Yi raised his head and glanced at Zhang Fei complainingly, and then shouted, "Why don't you go and find a dry clothes for this brother!" ”
Seeing this, Zhang Fei knew that he had made a mistake, and muttered "Damn!" as he walked out of the tent! It's really not a spy! Why didn't you say it earlier! ”
When the man heard Zhang Fei's muttering, he couldn't say anything about the bitterness in his heart, thinking that I had been talking to you for so long, the key is that you didn't believe it either!
Zhang Fei took someone out to find clothes for the man, and only Liu Yi and the guard were left in the tent.
"Brother, what is the urgency of Lord Lu calling me there late at night?"
When the man heard this, he replied, "If you go back to your lordship, before the villain came, I saw General Liu and General Sun enter my adult's room, and after a few people chatted a few words, Lord Lu asked the villain to invite the adult, what is the specific matter, Lord Lu did not explain!" ”
Hearing that this person said that it was Liu Bei and Sun Fei who entered the mansion, Lu Zhicai sent someone to invite him, Liu Yi guessed that Zhang Bao might have a letter there, and hurriedly asked the soldiers outside the tent to call Yao Lie and Guan Yu.
After a while, Yao, Guan, and Zhang walked into the big tent at the same time, and Zhang Fei also took a pair of pants that he was not wearing.
"Brother, change it on!"
After Liu Yi took the clothes, he stuffed them to the guard, who glanced at Liu Yi gratefully and then hid aside and changed his pants.
Looking at Yao Lie and the three of them in front of him, Liu Yi told the three of them what he had just guessed and ordered, "Yao Lie, Yide, you two will go down the mountain with me in a while, Yun Chang, you are a good guard in the camp!" ”
"Yes!"
As soon as Zhang Fei heard that Liu Yi was going down the mountain by himself, he could see the back molars with a grin.
In fact, Liu Yi didn't want to take Zhang Fei there before, mainly because he was afraid that Zhang Fei would see the end of the season, and the two would fight again, but now it's okay, the big battle tomorrow and the day after tomorrow may be the last intersection between the two, so let's fight.
After taking the guard to change his pants, Liu Yi and the others went down the mountain with him.
After descending the mountain, Liu Yi and the others went straight to Lu Zhi's mansion.
At this time, Lu Zhi and Liu Bei had already gone to the room where they usually discussed, and a sand table made of stones and sand was placed in the center of the room.
"My lord, Lord Liu has arrived!" A soldier outside the door reported.
"Come in!"
As soon as Lu Zhi's words fell, the door was opened, and it was Liu Yi who pushed the door.
"I've seen Lord Lu and Brother Xuande!"
"You're welcome, come here, come here!" Lu Zhi urged.
Seeing Lu Zhi in such a hurry, Liu Yi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked to the edge of the sand table.
"Lord Liu, please take a look!" Lu Zhi pointed to a place in the middle of the sand table for Liu Yi to see.
Liu Yi looked in the direction pointed by Lu Zhi, and saw that in the middle of the sand table, a small yellow flag was being planted, and a large stone the size of a palm was a foot away from the small yellow flag. Not far from the stone was a small red flag. Behind the small yellow flag, a bulge was piled up with sand, and this bulge extended to the little red flag.
At a glance, Liu Yi knew that the small yellow flag represented Zhang Bao's Yellow Turban Army, while the stone block represented Zhongqiu City, and the small red flag represented Liu Yi stationed outside the city. And that bulge represents a rolling hill.
Without waiting for Liu Yi to ask, Liu Bei on the side explained to Liu Yi, "Brother Yi, I have already inquired clearly, Zhang Bao's army is about 50,000 people, and he is camped less than thirty miles away from Zhongqiu at this time. And looking at the appearance of the solid stone barrier in the camp, I'm afraid I haven't thought about our attack in the near future! ”
Liu Yi frowned when he heard this, "Lord Lu, Brother Xuande, we don't have much time, I'm afraid we can't wait for Zhang Bao to come out by himself, we have to take the initiative!" ”
Lu Zhi nodded when he heard this, "Well, I also have this intention, I called you here this time to discuss the attack!" ”
"Lord Lu, how many soldiers and horses are there in our city now?"
Lu Zhi thought for a moment when he heard this, and then replied, "With the recent recruitment of strong men, my master and apprentice have about 40,000 soldiers and horses!" ”
As soon as he heard that there were 40,000 soldiers and horses in the city, Liu Yi suddenly had confidence. Originally, Zhang Bao's ragtag army combat strength could not be compared with the regular army, and the number of both sides was equal at this time, as long as the tactics were appropriate, wouldn't it be easy to defeat Zhang Bao!
While Liu Yi was thinking about it, Lu Zhi pointed to the bulge that represented the hill and said to Liu Yi, "This hill is just leading to the enemy's rear, I want to send a strong force along the dense forest on the side of the hill to go straight behind the enemy, then our army will be flanked before and after, Zhang Bao will be defeated!" ”
Liu Yi heard the words and agreed: "What the adults said is extremely true! However, if you want to lurk quietly behind the enemy's rear, you must be late at night, and the army must have a strong ability to march at night! ”
"So I want to give you this difficult task! During this time of getting along, I have seen the strength of your soldiers, especially the elite under the banner of scorpions, I know that there are no soldiers under my command who can complete this task, so I implore you to agree to take this task! ”
Seeing that Lu Zhi was so polite, Liu Yi hurriedly replied respectfully, "Your Excellency is serious, your Excellency is the boss, although we are here to help, but we are also under the control of your Excellency, and your Excellency has something to order!" The next official is determined to obey the orders of adults! ”
Seeing this, Lu Zhi couldn't help but show gratitude.
"Good! Since you are so old, you will not be polite to Lord Liu, and I will leave the task of this surprise attack behind enemy lines to you! ”
"The subordinate officer receives the order!"
Seeing that Liu Yi agreed to his arrangement, Lu Zhi was obviously relieved, and then began to assign other people's tasks.
In the end, the group decided on the tactical policy of attacking, and the time was set for tomorrow, that is, in the middle of the night. Liu Yi is responsible for leading people to lurk behind enemy lines, while Lu Zhi and Liu Bei lead people to sneak attack from the front.
After everything was decided, everyone discussed the specific details, and finally knew that Dongfang had revealed the white belly of the fish, so Liu Yi took Zhang Fei and the others back.
Originally, Lu Zhi planned to invite Liu Yi and the three of them to have breakfast at the house, but due to the urgency of time, Liu Yi declined. However, Zhang Fei did shout that he had returned two jars of good wine from Lu Zhi.
After returning to the camp, Liu Yi let everyone have breakfast, and then chatted with Zuo Feng for a few more words. Liu Yi didn't hide it from Zuo Feng, but told him everything about it, Zuo Feng told Liu Yi disappreciatively that he didn't care about these things, anyway, it was a three-day period, and Liu Yi didn't care what Zuo Feng did within three days.
Seeing that Zuo Feng had no worries here, Liu Yi let the soldiers start to rest and told everyone that there was going to be a big battle tonight.
As soon as they heard that there was a big war, where did everyone rest, they all began to check their weapons and equipment to see if they were in good condition.
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is already night, and at this time Liu Yi's army is ready, because it is a sneak attack, so everyone does not bring torches, so everyone needs to keep in touch at all times, otherwise someone may be separated.
Yao Lie followed Liu Yi's instructions to disperse some of the sentinels in his team who were good at communication to Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's team, because they had received professional training, with these people, they could ensure that no one would be separated.
In the midst of the tension, the time has come.
Although the set time for the attack was sub-hour, because the large number of plants and trees in the dense forest would affect the speed of the march, in order to arrive in time, Liu Yi ordered everyone to act two hours in advance.
As soon as Liu Yi gave the order to set off, an army of nearly 8,000 people quietly sneaked into the night.
At this time, the castle under the mountain is also brightly lit.
The army of Lu Zhi and others lined up in the city and waited for it.
While Lu Zhi and the others were having a final discussion, a soldier ran into the fight.
"My lord, it's time!"
When the crowd heard this, they hurriedly stood up.
"Good! Let's go now, just in time to reach the enemy camp! The order goes down, and the whole army is ready to go out of the city! ”
"Yes!"
......
Compared with Liu Yi and the others who have been working hard these days, the thief's first Zhang Bao is indeed very comfortable. Because the order left by Zhang Jiao before leaving was to delay Lu Zhi, and there was no need to capture Zhongqiu. Therefore, Zhang Bao drank and had fun every day, he thought that as long as he didn't leave, Lu Zhi and the others would not dare to withdraw their troops to support other places, so Zhang Bao had almost no action to go to battle except for ordering people to strengthen the camp these days.
At this time, Zhang Bao was in the tent.
Zhang Bao put his arm around a young woman who didn't know where to come, and drank the wine glass with the other, and several older women around him hurriedly poured the wine when they saw this.
"Hahaha~ Tell me about it! Why did our three brothers rebel? Well! Isn't it just for the sake of eating and drinking well, there can be a little girl's skin like flowers and jade around you! After Zhang Bao finished speaking, he drank another glass of wine, and then pinched the chest of the beautiful woman in his arms, which immediately provoked the woman to be coquettish.
Looking at the shy appearance of the beauty in his arms, Zhang Bao laughed proudly.
Just when Zhang Bao was indulging in wine, he didn't know that death was slowly approaching him.
