Hearing Guan Yu go out of the city, Lu Meng perked up and immediately asked, "Guan Yu is the north gate?" ”

"Yes, Guan Yu walked through the north gate."

Lu Meng breathed a sigh of relief, there were 5,000 people and horses waiting for Zhu Ran twenty miles outside the north gate, and when Guan Yu found that there were 5,000 people and horses blocking the road there, he would not dare to rush hard, and Zhu Ran would also drive Guan Yu to Linfang, Pan Zhang had already laid an ambush on the road to Linfang, and now this big trap has been laid, and Guan Yu has also begun to drill into the trap. Thinking of this, Lu Meng opened his mouth and said: "Immediately send an order to Pan Zhang, let him prepare, prepare more trips, and be sure to capture Guan Yu!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Tai Shixiang took the order and walked out.

Looking at Tai Shixiang's back, Lu Meng suddenly felt a trace of nervousness rise in his heart, he had been planning for so long, so far, everything was going according to his plan, although Mi Fang's escape and Zhou Tai's injury were a little flawed, but they did not affect the overall situation, and now it is finally time to finally collect the fruits of victory.

Just when Lu Meng was concerned about lewdness, Tai Shixiang walked in again. It can be seen that Tai Shixiang's face is not very good-looking.

"Yuan Fu, why did you come back so soon, everything was done?" Lu Meng asked.

"Governor, something is wrong!"

Hearing these words, a sense of foreboding rose in Lu Meng's heart, and Lu Meng immediately asked, "What happened?" ”

"Governor, General Zhu Ran is defeated!"

……

When Tai Shixiang went out just now, the soldiers who had escaped from Zhu Ran's camp had just arrived at Lu Meng's camp. brought the news of Zhu Ran's defeat.

Before the battle on Zhu Ran's side was completely over, Adou and Liao Hua ran towards Maicheng. This Adou and Liao Hua are riding horses, although Adou's riding skills are not very good, but when they run on flat ground, there are no obstacles, and they still run much faster than people's feet.

And now it is the middle of the night, it is dark and people can't see the road clearly, Zhu Ran's rout is a new defeat, everyone is panicked, they can't distinguish the direction in the panic when they escape, they have taken some detours, and some people have taken the wrong road, as for whether Zhang Wei has ordered to chase after him, this group of defeated and fleeing soldiers will naturally slow down when they see that no one is chasing. Some even stopped to rest for a while, which delayed some time. On the other side, Adou was scrambling for time, and when the news of Guan Yu's breakthrough reached Lu Meng's ears, the defeated soldiers returned to Lu Meng's barracks.

The news of Zhu Ran's defeat hit Lu Meng like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Lu Meng even wondered if his ears were misheard, or that he was dreaming, but looking at Tai Shixiang's serious expression, Lu Meng knew that this was probably true.

"Why is this happening, isn't this Guan Yu just out of the city? Moreover, Guan Yu only has more than 500 people and horses, and Zhu Ran has 5,000 people and horses in his hands, how could Zhu Ran be defeated! Didn't I tell Zhu Ran, don't fight with Guan Yu when you see him, just force him to be depressed, and then chase after him, this Zhu Ran, dare not listen to my orders! Lu Meng was already out of order, and he said whatever came to his mind, without any order.

In Lu Meng's opinion, the reinforcements from Shu have been blocked by Xu Sheng near Jingshan, and they are far away from here, so the only one who can defeat Zhu Ran is Guan Yu, who has just left the city.

Tai Shixiang This is the first time I have seen Lu Meng like this, on weekdays, Lu Meng is sick, so he often needs to control his emotions, and therefore the Lu Meng in Tai Shixiang's impression is the Lu Meng with a calm expression on his face and laughs from time to time, and now Lu Meng is out of control, and it is the first time he has seen Tai Shixiang who is so out of control.

Lu Meng also felt that he was out of shape, calmed down his emotions a little, and said, "What about Zhu Ran? Has Zhu Ran ever come back? ”

"General Zhu Ran was captured alive by the enemy generals!" Tai Shixiang said, secretly observing that Lu Meng's face had turned iron-blue, but Tai Shixiang still whispered: "According to the report, the one who captured General Zhu Ran was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy!" ”

"Another fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy!" Lu Meng was taken aback, could it be that the guy who injured Zhou Tai is back? Thinking of this, Lu Meng hurriedly said, "Tell me the details!" ”

"Yes, Governor! According to the report of the soldiers who escaped, this group of enemies came from the north and rushed into our camp at night! ”

"From the north? Is it Cao Cao? Tai Shixiang was interrupted by Lu Meng as soon as he started to speak.

"Back to the capital, it's not Cao Cao, the person who came is indeed the Shu army!"

"Shu Army? How could the Shu army come out from the north? ”

"General Zhu Ran also thought that Shu County would not attack from the north, so he carelessly relaxed his defense in the north for a while, and the enemy had an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Lu Meng frowned and thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure out that the Shu army would go around to the north, so he simply didn't want to think about it, and asked a very critical question instead.

"How many people are there on the other side?"

"About 10,000 people!" Tai Shixiang replied.

"Ten thousand people, so many! Where did they come from, could it be that they flew here? Lu Meng was even more puzzled. If it is 1,800 people, how can you use cavalry to quickly break through the defense line of Xiangyang Cao's army, but 10,000 people can also break through Xiangyang to get here, this is incredible, Cao Jun is not blind, 10,000 people are mighty, how can they not see it.

Suddenly, Lu Meng thought of a possibility, could it be that Liu Bei had secretly reached some agreement with Cao Cao, so Cao Cao deliberately let people over?

Thinking of this possibility, Lu Meng shouted that it was not good, without Zhu Ran's interception, Guan Yu could break out unimpeded, if Liu Bei really had any collusion with Cao Cao, then Jiangdong was in danger! Thinking of this, Lu Meng immediately shouted: "Immediately reorganize the troops, let's go to Maicheng!" ”

……

Twenty miles north of the city.

This was originally Zhu Ran's camp, but now it has become a temporary resting place for Adou's 10,000 troops.

At this time, the war had ended, because the Shu army was the one who attacked the sneak attack, and Adou captured Zhu Ran early, and the number of people had an absolute advantage, which made the battle very fast, and the losses were not very large. As for Zhu Ran's 5,000 men and horses, those who died, those who surrendered, and those who fled, after the First World War, Zhang Wei counted them and captured 2,000 Jiangdong troops.

Because of Adou's order, Zhang Wei did not dispose of these prisoners easily, but just tied them up.

"General! General Guan is here! The little school walked in and reported to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei immediately strode to the gate of the camp, only to see a team of people and horses coming from afar, the number was not much, only about five hundred, the first general, riding a red horse, this horse was half a head taller than other horses, it was the red rabbit horse. Immediately sat upright, dressed in a green robe, Danfeng's eyes were lying on his eyebrows, his face was like a winter date, and his long beard was floating, it was Guan Yu.

On the side, Guan Ping, Liao Hua, and Zhou Cang were guarding on the left and right, and as for Adou, he fell behind early, following Zhao Lei and Wang Fu.

Guan Yu Chitu was fast, only to see Guan Yu slightly pat Chitu, Chitu understood, galloped forward with a long roar, and in a blink of an eye, he distanced himself from the team and came to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei hurriedly greeted him, for this world-famous Guan Gong, Zhang Wei did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and stepped forward to bow: "See the prince!" ”

"Are you Zhang Wei?" Guan Yu asked.

"The last general is Zhang Wei!" Zhang Wei hurriedly replied.

Guan Yu nodded, dismounted, and handed the reins to Zhang Wei, who quickly took the reins. At the same time, he looked at the red rabbit horse with reverence.

Looking at this red rabbit horse, which is half a head taller than ordinary war horses, Zhang Wei's heart is full of excitement. As a general, the war horse is undoubtedly the second life for himself, and there is no one who does not love horses. Now that Zhang Wei has seen the world-famous red rabbit horse, how can he not be excited.

……

In the account.

Guan Yu sat in the middle, and Zhou Cang and Guan Ping were separated from each other in the back. The next few people sat Adou, Liao Hua, Zhang Wei, Zhao Lei and Wang Fu.

Guan Yu stroked his beard lightly and said, "So Meng Da's department is just a suspicious army, you are from Xiangyang!" ”

Adou nodded, Guan Yu frowned slightly, and then asked, "Adou, have you ever thought about how we should return to Shangyong now?" ”

"Second uncle, now there are two roads in front of us to go, one is to go west to Linfu and then join Mengda, and the other is to return according to the original way and return to Shangyong through Xiangyang!" Speaking of this, Adou paused: "But second uncle, we have heard the news from Zhu Ran's subordinates, and now Pan Zhang is leading people to ambush near Linfu, and Xu Sheng led an army of 50,000 to intercept General Meng Da, even if we can successfully reach Linfu, but we still have to face Xu Sheng's army of 50,000." So I guess we should go back the way we came! ”

Hearing Adou say that he had returned the same way, all the people in the camp quieted down, and everyone knew how difficult it was to return the same way safe and sound.

At this time, if you go west, you will inevitably encounter the interception of nearly 100,000 troops in Jiangdong, but if you go north through Xiangyang, you will also be blocked by the Cao army of Xiangyang, and although the Cao army in Xiangyang does not have 100,000 people, there are always 30,000 or 40,000.

Facing an army of 100,000 on one side and 30,000 or 40,000 horses on the other, it is undoubtedly necessary to choose the latter, but if you choose the latter, you will face another problem, that is, it is likely to be attacked from both sides.

If you choose to go west and face frustration, Adou only needs to face the people and horses in Jiangdong, and if you go to Xiangyang, Lü Meng will inevitably lead people to chase behind, if it is blocked by Cao Jun, Lü Meng will chase after it, and if you are attacked on both sides, you will definitely be defeated with Adou's 10,000 horses. Therefore, if you go to Xiangyang, it is more like a gamble, Adou gambles to break through the defense line of Xiangyang before Lu Meng chases him, and the bet is the life of these 10,000 horses.
