The battalions began to bury pots and cook food after dark, and immediately quietly pulled out the camp and left, leaving the last Zhou Cang to cause signs of emergency withdrawal in the camp, and then quietly left. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

By the time Cao Bing found out that the troops had withdrawn from the camp and returned to Xiahoudun, it was already a moment. Xiahoudun laughed and immediately invited Li Dian and Yu Ban: "Liu Yong has withdrawn!" ”

"Really?" Yu Ban was surprised, and when he saw that Xiahoudun didn't look like he was lying, he immediately turned to Li Dian: "Manguo is a wise general, such a small ploy will make Liu Yong's 40,000-strong army withdraw, and when the siege of Wancheng is lifted, the prime minister will definitely reward you." ”

Xiahoudun also did not hesitate to praise: "Li Mancheng is indeed a wise general, our army has you, and we will be able to break the Jingzhou army!" ”

Li Dian hurriedly said modestly: "General Xiahou and Yu Wen have won the award, the pawn is just a slight trick, and the wise general is far from counting, so don't kill the two of them!" ”

The three of them laughed a few words, Xiahoudun immediately took out the map, pointed to the route above and said: "Liu Yong withdraws his troops, then we can immediately send troops to pursue, if we catch up, we can take advantage of the situation to break the Jingzhou army, if we can catch Liu Yong, we can make the Jingzhou dragons leaderless, it will be a big chaos, and it will not be far from going south to take charge of Jingzhou, it must be a great achievement." I'll get our men together and go in pursuit! ”

After the three of them discussed some details, they immediately led their men and horses to pursue Liu Yong's army overnight, and arrived at the county seat of Yexian County in just over half an hour. Ye County was originally under the rule of Cao Cao, only occupied by Liu Yong for a few days, not to mention supporting Liu Yong at all, but after being killed some wicked people who supported Cao Cao, he was a little afraid, and now Liu Yong led the troops to withdraw, naturally full of joy, but before some people in the know rejoiced, they saw another team of men and horses coming to attack the city, where did they dare to have other ideas, and immediately opened the city gate to welcome Xiahoudun and his party into the city.

Xiahoudun and his entourage ignored the idle people and others, and went straight to the Jingzhou military camp. The camp was disorganized and in disarray.

Xiahoudun laughed again: "Liu Yong'er was really scared away, he didn't even have time to collect the camp tent, and only half of many things were collected, it seems that he really has to be named, I really don't know how Liu Biao played, and he was played to death by this kid." ”

Yu Ban also looked deeply sympathetic, only Li Dian frowned slightly: "The two generals should not be happy too early, if Liu Yong is just a false appearance, then are all the generals under him stupid people?" It's better to be careful, don't fall for the enemy's tricks. ”

"Why is Man Cheng so timid and afraid of things at this time, I am not waiting for the hairy boy who has just entered the camp, can't he see that he has a trick. Let's catch up first. Xiahoudun suddenly looked down on Li Dian, gave him a blank look, and immediately got on his horse and led his troops to chase in the direction of Xinye.

Li Dian sighed and had to get on his horse to follow.

Liu Yong and the brigade hurried all the way, just to make Xiahoudun think that he was fleeing out of fear, so he also asked the soldiers to discard some irrelevant things from time to time, leaving clues for Cao Jun to pursue him.

But Liu Yong still felt that there was something inadequate, and the scouts left behind along the way kept coming to report on the movements of Cao Jun's march, and Liu Yong gradually understood that there was a lack of place to get on the horse: there was still a lack of an introduction to make Cao Jun believe that he was afraid of Cao Jun.

Liu Yongli can recruit Guan Yu and Xu Shu to discuss, look for some old, weak, sick and disabled among the Cao army recruited, and prepare to find a place to ambush the Cao army. When he arrived in Zhuyang, he didn't enter the city, walked around the city, and went directly to Bowangpo.

Xiahoudun and Yu Ban were the front army, pursuing all the way, and when they arrived in Zhucheng, they had already inquired and found that Liu Yong's army did not enter the city, but the people in the city saw a large group of people outside the city and went all the way to the west.

Xiahoudun laughed again: "Liu Yong'er was really frightened, and he didn't dare to go into the city to rest for a while, which shows that he is as timid as a mouse." I really didn't expect Guan Yu to surrender so little, it was really stupid, to see him bump into a certain one, and his face was arrogant. ”

Xiahoudun has always remembered Guan Yu's proud posture when he intercepted Guan Yu after passing five levels and killing six generals, and he has always been angry in his heart, and today is really happy.

Xiahoudun did not wait for Li Dian to follow, and went out of the city again to pursue, and found the suits left by the Jingzhou army along the road along the way, so he naturally did not think it was a plan, and ordered his subordinates to speed up the march and catch up with the Jingzhou army as soon as possible.

Two hours later, I saw a mountain range in front of me from a distance, and hurriedly took a map to check, and there was Bowangpo in front of me.

Xiahoudun said to the forbidden: "It seems that Liu Yong is using the terrain here to get rid of our pursuit. ”

Yu Ban glanced at the mountain range from a distance and said, "I should be careful here, beware of being ambushed." Although the Bowang Mountain is not steep, it is overgrown with weeds, and it is indeed suitable for ambushes, so you should not be careless. ”

Xiahoudun nodded: "Yes, indeed, if I withdraw my troops, I will also set up an ambush here to block the enemy army and let the main force leave as soon as possible." But Liu Yong has not been in charge of Jingzhou for a long time, and he has not been too rich in people, and he has always been reluctant to fight hard, because he is afraid of losing his people. It can be seen from the previous several sieges of Runan that he will not fight hard until the last resort, I think, even if he sets up an ambush, it will not be too much, as long as he is careful to deal with it, there will not be too much damage. ”

As soon as the two finished discussing, Li Dian chased after him from behind, and when he saw Xiahou Xuan, he hurriedly said: "General Xiahou, the front is Bowangpo, where the mountains and forests are dense, and the grass and trees are waist-high, which is very suitable for ambushes. ”

Xiahoudun had long expected that Li Dian would say this, and agreed casually on his face, saying in his heart that I knew it a long time ago, and I want you to say it. But it was not good to attack, so he sent several teams of scouts to investigate according to Li Dian's wishes. By the way, let the men and horses rest for a stick of incense.

Before everyone left, they saw a scout coming to report that a team of people and horses came from the direction of Luyang, which seemed to be escorting grain and grass. Everyone waited for a while, and they brought the right people and horses, it turned out that Ren Jun, who heard that Xiahoudun wanted to help Wancheng, came to deliver grain, and led 2,000 men and horses to escort the 100,000 stones of grain and grass.

"Okay, now Liu Yong is fleeing in panic in front, Ren Boda is coming at the right time, I will lead the army to open the way in front, and your son will escort the grain and grass behind, and go to make meritorious contributions!" Xiahoudun came all the way, his heart was happy, and Rui Renjun was also kind.

Ren Jun naturally agreed, and if he could get the favor of this Xiahou general, he would naturally have a smooth career and agree immediately.

After a stick of incense, set off immediately, Li Dian asked the three armies not to pursue at the same time, and needed to leave a pair of people behind the palace in case of accidents, Xiahou Dun was disdainful in his heart, timidity is cowardice, so he simply left Li Dian Palace, and he and Yu Ban led the troops to chase forward. On the way, the scouts came to report that the Jingzhou soldiers rushed into Bowangpo in panic and headed towards Xinye, and even Liu Yong's chariot could be seen.

Xiahoudun immediately accelerated his march again, bent on capturing Liu Yong alive.

Before coming to the mountain road, he sent people to investigate and did not see any ambushes, so he immediately marched.

Less than three miles into the mountain road, in the middle of the line, suddenly killed a team of men and horses, dressed in Jingzhou Army, Xiahoudun was taken aback, is there really an ambush? But seeing that this team of people is only three or five hundred at most, and they are all old and weak, it is normal to think that Liu Yong cherishes the soldiers and does not want the elite to come to die. Immediately lead troops to cover the kill.
