Chapter 251: Take a gamble

Immediately diverted and pointed directly at Li County.

Close to the Qinling Mountains, Lixian is a small county in the middle of the mountainous area, its city is low, the population is sparse, the old and young are less than 10,000 people, and the road is difficult to walk, there are few people in spring, summer and autumn, let alone winter. However, on this day, a large army of tigers and wolves of the golden iron horse quickly occupied the city, and the people had never seen such a situation, and they were frightened, and they hid in their houses and did not dare to make a sound.

A fierce general in the middle of the army, mighty and extraordinary, is Zang Ba. According to Liu Yong's order, he was stationed in Ye County, but now that the incident happened suddenly, Guan Yu personally led 10,000 horses to Ye County, and after the 20,000 army, Zang Ba immediately led 10,000 people to arrive in Ye County to respond.

If the number of people is small, the action will be fast, even in winter, it is not slow, but fortunately, the blood has not fallen this winter, and it is much more convenient for the march. It only took three hours to arrive at Lixian County.

"Yin Li led 3,000 men and horses to defend the city, and the rest of the men and horses went with me to pick up the lord!" After inspecting and not finding any Cao army, Zang Ba immediately led the army to march along the road to Xiangcheng, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts to explore Liu Yong's location.

Liu Yong is still a note with Guan Yu and Zang Ba, oh, rest assured

But it's not certain where Cao Cao will place his forces. According to the situation in Zhengzang, there will inevitably be a large number of people waiting for him in Kunyang, and the nearby counties are Luyang and Lixian County, relatively speaking, Luyang is easier to walk, Lixian is more difficult to walk, there will inevitably be people in the direction of Luyang, and there should be people in Lixian County, but not too much. But Liu Yong had no choice, the lesser of two evils, he could only gamble that Cao Cao would not arrange too many people in the direction of Lixian County.

Liu Yong's diversion made the Cao army in Kunyang immediately a little confused, they prepared a large army in Kunyang, bent on beheading Liu Yong, as long as Liu Yong died, Cao Cao no longer worried about the threat of Jingzhou, and could go all out to pacify the remnants of Yuan Shao in Hebei. In order to plan this plan, he also ruthlessly hitched a ride with one of his daughters, and the price was not small. However, if something happened to Liu Yong in Xuchang, it would be completely burdened with the crime of killing the horse, which was a major crime against the Han court, and it was completely a crime of rebellion and rebellion. In today's world, the vast majority of people are loyal to the imperial court, so Cao Cao did not dare to risk the world's disapproval to attack Liu Yong in Xuchang.

But on the battlefield, it's different, it's a completely normal war, even if someone disagrees, it can't be directly said to be a rebellion. Because of this, Cao Cao painstakingly planned this plan. As for Wei Meng, it was purely Xiahou Yuan's own approach, and even Liu Yong and Pang Tong guessed wrong.

When Cao Cao got the report, Liu Yong was wary of changing his route, and he hated Xiahou Yuan to death.

In the Kunyang camp, Li Dian, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and General Sanyuan sat in meditation with Xiahoudun, who had just been replaced, and waited for the scout to report that Liu Yong had been rerouted because of a sneak attack, and almost blew his lungs. In Xuchang, Liu Yong's Gan Ning injured Le Jin, and Zhao Yun defeated Xiahou Yuan, which made Cao Jiang feel insulted, and he was bent on regaining face, not wanting to miss the opportunity again, and suddenly everyone was angry and wanted to beat Xiahou Yuan.

"Li Mancheng defends the city, Xu Gongming, you immediately lead 5,000 cavalry to pursue in the direction of Luyang, do not seek to kill, as long as you bite Liu Yong, it will be considered meritorious. Xiahou Yuanrang led 5,000 men and horses to pursue in the direction of Lixian County, and a certain army pursued from the rear. The main general Zhang Liao immediately ordered.

Li Dian disagreed: "No, I was defeated in Bowang before, and Liu Yong made Dian feel humiliated, this time, I must personally capture Liu Yong!" ”

Xiahoudun also said: "Although he was defeated and humiliated by Bowang before, when he was in Jingzhou, Liu Yong treated him well, although he was hostile, but he couldn't just come back and kill him one night, or I would defend the city of Kunyang!" ”

In the end, Zhang Liao had no choice but to let Xiahoudun and Li Dian swap, Xiahoudun guarded the city, and Li Dian went to Lixian County.

Liu Yong was also very anxious in his heart, but there were many female servants in the army, and he would not be in such a hurry in normal times, and he could not compare with the normal army at all, and the road was difficult to walk.

Zhao Yun came to report: "My lord, there are dozens of dowry servants in Cao's mansion and the palace, and a few people have just been captured, and under interrogation, it turns out that they are all spies sent by Cao Cao." What should I do? ”

"Kill it, since you all want to take the lead of the pony people, it's useless to keep it, since the father is so ruthless, then don't blame the unrighteousness of being a daughter!" It was Princess Cao Yuan of Qinghe who had always been more gentle who spoke, and Liu Yong, Zhao Yun, and Princess Wannian were all stunned. But this is not the time to think carefully, so Liu Yong agreed: "Just kill it according to what Princess Qinghe said." For the rest of the people, keep an eye on them, and if you find suspicious people, you can cut them first! ”

Everyone is so ruthless as a daughter, what else does Liu Yong have to worry about. Immediately after this, there were many fewer people who fled, but there were nevertheless, and two hours later, three or five more people were killed. Everyone had just rested, and the scouts came to report: "Lord, Cao soldiers and horses have been found in the rear, about five thousand!" ”

Liu Yong immediately said: "Pang Shiyuan led the rest of the people to set off to Lixian County immediately, Zhang Junyi escorted the two princesses and others on the road, Xingba left three hundred sergeants behind, and Zhao Yun followed me!" Get ready to meet the enemy! ”

Everyone acted immediately, and Liu Yong no longer sat in the car, and directly got on his own mount, Chifeng, and broke off with Zhao Yun and Gan Ning to protect the team.

"Kill Liu Yong, behead his head, seal the Pavilion Marquis, and reward 100 acres of fertile land!"

"Kill, don't get away with Liu Yong!"

……

A hurried sound of horses' hooves came from behind, and immediately the people shouted loudly, ignoring the cold wind.

"The lord will go first, and watch Gan Xingba kill the enemy general and repel the enemy army!" Hearing such a voice, Gan Ning was immediately furious, holding a double iron halberd, and asked Liu Yong for his life.

Zhao Yun is not far behind: "Xingba, you lead people to protect the lord and go first, watch Zhao Yun kill the enemy!" ”

The two argued, but everyone knew that no matter how strong a person's ability was, he couldn't resist these thousands of people, and if he went, he was afraid that it would be a dead end, which moved Liu Yong deeply.

"They have come for me, and they will only aim the main forces against me, and in that case, you do not have to go alone, lest you be broken by each one. We fought and retreated, setting up obstacles along the road, I think Guan Yunchang will definitely send someone to respond, as long as it takes some more time, reinforcements will arrive, any of you have something, I will have trouble sleeping! Liu Yong immediately stopped the second general.

"Retreat!"

As soon as Gan Ning gave the order, the three hundred sergeants immediately retreated neatly to chase after the large group of men and horses, and constantly placed stones and thorns on the roads along the road to stop the cavalry. After walking two miles, the cavalry behind was already very close. And Liu Yong and other 300 people have set up boulders and thorns here again during the period of time when Cao's army was blocked. Everyone retreated five hundred paces, and the range of the repeater was eight hundred steps, which was just the right distance to give full play to the advantage of the repeater.
