Chapter 206: Shouchun is ours
Xiahoudun promised that he would undertake all the things.
Yan Xiang also planned to persuade again.
Xiahou Yuan next to him said: "Gong Yan, you also know my brother, what he decided will definitely not change. With me with my brother, Yan Gong can rest assured. β
"Both generals are going?" Yan Xiang asked.
"The number of our troops is not large, of course we all go." Xiahoudun said: "Don't worry, Gong Yan, I will leave thirty or fifty soldiers to protect." β
"I'm not worried that no one will protect me." Yan Xiang replied, "I'm just ......"
"Brother, please rest assured that Yan Gong, and Yan Gong will not say more." Xiahou Yuan said with a smile: "Please also ask Yan Gong to wait for the news of the two of us." β
The brothers were full of confidence in the battle, and Yan Xiang had no choice but to give up: "I wish the two generals a victory!" β
Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan thought that LΓΌ Bu had sent a vanguard and actively prepared for battle.
Zhou Yu ordered the soldiers not to make any moves.
Ordered to make a batch of battle flags of the Lu Bu army, Zhou Tai selected 5,000 soldiers and horses, and waved the flags as far as they could see from Bagong Mountain.
Under the banner of the fluttering Lu Bujun Station, it is actually the Jiangdong Army that is arrayed, which can actually be regarded as a unique scenery.
Zhou Tai carried a big knife and looked into the distance.
He sent a lot of scouts to inquire about Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan.
But the scouts never sent back the news that the two of them had left Bagong Mountain with their troops.
Standing next to Zhou Tai was a Jiangdong captain.
The lieutenant is about the same age as him, and his big face gives people a steady and upright impression.
This person's surname is Ling Mingcao, and he holds the position of school captain.
His lieutenant is not the same concept as a junior colonel in the army.
Zhou Tai lured Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan this time, and Ling Cao fought together as his lieutenant.
Looking into the distance, Ling Cao asked, "General, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan won't dare to come, right?" After all, we came too early, and there was always something wrong with them. β
"Gong Jin said, although Yan Xiang has some skills, he is Lu Bu's person after all." Zhou Tai said: "Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan left him in the army just to take him hostage. Even if he saw that something was wrong, the two would not listen. I've been with Gongjin for so long, could it be that I still don't believe what he said? β
Zhou Tai has absolute trust in Zhou Yu, and of course Ling Cao can't say anything more.
The two waited for a whole day, and it was not until the next morning that they got the news that Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan had left Bagong Mountain with their troops and were rushing over here.
Hearing that Xiahoudun was coming, Zhou Tai suddenly came to his senses.
Hurriedly washed, he immediately gave an order: "The three armies are on alert, and the enemy army will start fighting as soon as it arrives!" β
The order was given, and he was putting on his armor with the help of the guards, and Ling Cao walked over.
"General, I heard that Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan are here." Ling Cao asked.
"Here we are." Zhou Tai replied, and then ordered Ling Cao: "You take two thousand men and horses to ambush, and when I launch an attack, you will cover up from behind." β
"Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan are also fierce generals in the world." Ling Cao said: "With just these soldiers and horses, I'm afraid it will be difficult to capture them!" β
"Even if they can't be caught, it can hurt their vitality." Zhou Tai said: "Our army came to Huainan, and all the bad news came from Bofu. The morale of the soldiers is very low, and a big victory is needed to boost morale and regain their strength! β
When Ling Cao heard him say this, he clasped his fists and responded, "I am willing to obey the general's dispersion." β
Ling Cao ordered 2,000 men and horses to leave, while Zhou Tai asked the soldiers to plant the battle flag in the open space, and he led the soldiers to lurk nearby.
Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan led their soldiers here.
What they saw was not the vanguard of Lu Bu's army, but the battle flags planted on the ground.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Xiahou Yuan asked suspiciously, "Brother, do you feel that something is wrong?" β
"I don't think it's right anywhere." Xiahoudun frowned.
He looked around: "Why is there only a battle flag, not even a ghost?" β
"Let's get out of here." Sensing that something was wrong, Xiahou Yuan said: "Maybe it's a bureau set up by Zhou Yu......"
As soon as Xiahou Yuan said that it might be a game, there was a sound of horns from all sides.
As the horn sounded, I don't know how many Jiangdong troops rushed out with shouts.
The first person to cross the horse and carry the knife was Zhou Tai.
Rushing towards Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, Zhou Tai shouted: "The thief will leave and eat me." β
There were Jiangdong troops on all sides, and Xiahoudun shouted to Xiahouyuan: "Miaocai, you lead the troops to break through, and I will go to meet Zhou Tai!" β
"There are many enemy troops, brother don't fall in love with war!" Xiahou Yuan responded, beckoning the soldiers to launch a counterattack in the direction they came.
The two sides had a scuffle, and Xiahoudun rushed up against Zhou Tai.
Zhou Tai was a fierce general in Jiangdong, and Xiahoudun was also a capable general under Cao Cao.
The two fought together, and no one dared to step forward from the soldiers on both sides nearby.
Xiahoudun entangled Zhou Tai, and Xiahouyuan led the soldiers to break through.
He was slashing with his sword, and there was another horn sound in front of him.
The horn sounded, and Xiahou Yuan saw a group of men and horses appear in front of him.
It was Ling Cao who led this team.
He pointed his weapon at Xiahou Yuan, who was breaking through: "Soldiers, capture Xiahou Yuan, reward money and reward women!" β
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, Ling Cao shouted like this, and the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army howled and pounced on Cao Jun as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
Xiahoudun and Xiahou Yuan's troops were originally fewer than the Jiangdong army brought by Zhou Tai.
Zhou Tai entangled Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Yuan was trapped by a group of Jiangdong troops commanded by Ling Cao.
After fighting for two or three hours, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan got rid of the Jiangdong army and fled to Shouchun with only two or three hundred people.
Coming to the outside of Shouchun City, Xiahoudun shouted: "Listen to the defenders of the city, open the city gate quickly!" β
Yan Xiang poked his head out of the city.
He shouted at Xiahoudun: "General Yuanrang, Zhou Yu is nearby, we don't dare to open the city, you should hurry back to Xudu, but don't be surrounded by enemy troops." β
Seeing Yan Xiang, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan were surprised.
The brothers glanced at each other, and Xiahou Yuan asked, "When did Yan Gong come to Shouchun?" β
"The two generals just left, and I came to Shouchun." Yan Xiang replied: "The enemy army is nearby, and the city gate must not be opened. Please also ask the two generals to leave as soon as possible, and never be captured by the enemy! so as not to insult Cao Gong's prestige! β
Things came to this point, and Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan knew that it was impossible for Shouchun to let them in.
Yan Xiang said that there is a truth.
If they stay here, they will most likely be captured by Zhou Yusheng.
"What should I do?" Xiahou Yuan asked Xiahoudun.
"Let's go!" Xiahou glanced at the city in annoyance, and with Xiahou Yuan and more than a hundred remnants, he galloped away in the direction of Xu Du.
On the top of the city.
Zhang Liao came to Yan Xiang's side: "They're gone, Shouchun is ours now!" β
