Chapter 18: The Post-War Turmoil
"Liu Xuande, why don't you quickly dismount and surrender, the prime minister can still save your life, otherwise don't blame the ruthlessness of these 100,000 sabers!" Liu Bei's appearance this time aroused Xiahoudun's heart to make meritorious contributions, if Liu Bei was captured here, then Xinye Town would not be attacked.
"Your prime minister coerced the Son of Heaven, but he was not a minister, and it was unrighteous to raise troops here, and if he did this, he would be destroyed by heaven, so how could he take my life!" Liu Bei used his sword to reach Xiahoudun, and in response was to lead the army to rush and kill.
Xiahoudun chased Liu Bei and cut it, but Liu Feng did not leave Liu Bei an inch, and protected Liu Bei's side, Xiahoudun couldn't help Liu Bei for a while, and he couldn't wait to cut Liu Feng in two with a knife, but it backfired, the more eager, but he couldn't hurt Liu Bei and Liu Feng's father and son.
After a few rounds of fighting, Liu Feng took a gap and made a secret look at Liu Bei, Liu Bei would understand when he arrived, and under an order, a thousand soldiers withdrew in the direction of Xinye, and Liu Feng led Li Chuang to follow, while resisting Xiahoudun's offensive, while slowly running towards Bowangpo.
Xiahoudun saw Liu Bei slipping away from under his knife, how could he let go, so he became more and more anxious, just waved his army to chase after him, regardless of anything else.
Liu Feng protected Liu Bei, and saw that Xiahou Dun's army was following closely, so he felt a little at ease, at this time the two of them had already passed the place of Anlin in Yushan Mountain, Guan Yu and Zhang Feixian had been ambushed properly, and Liu Bei's father and son did not find the slightest flaw when they passed by.
Only two or three miles forward, Liu Feng saw that the road was getting tighter and narrower, both sides were overgrown with reeds, and there were bushes and grasses, and the wind was whistling after nightfall, knowing that this was the place where Zhuge Liang set fire, the two of them stopped for a moment at this time, only to wait for the shouting of killing behind them, and then they were relieved to move forward.
At this point, Liu Feng already knew in his heart that Zhuge Liang's plan to attack the fire had been completed.
Sure enough, Liu Feng and Liu Bei walked out of the reeds only a moment later, they heard a burst of shouts on the Bowangpo, and then there was a fire everywhere, only a moment, the entire Bowangpo was lit up with raging fires, Xiahoudun had long since disappeared, and the 100,000 troops of the Cao army did not know where they were in the fire, and they were in a panic.
"Ziwei, the plan here has been completed, just go to Xinye City to assist the military division to defend the city, and if you want to come, Xiahou will not rush out, I and Zifang will turn over and rush to kill, and we will definitely force Cao Jun to the ambush of the second brother and three places."
"Father, I wish to follow my father to kill for a while, and it's not too late to come back!" Liu Feng at this time looked at the Cao army trampling each other in the firelight, heavy casualties, those grain and grass were abandoned on the ground, there was unwillingness in his heart, Zhuge Liang ordered him to lure the enemy back to Xinye, most likely to avoid Liu Feng reaping the war profits, where Liu Feng was willing to follow, seeing that Xiahoudun had already fled and did not know where to go, he could not attack Xinye, so he did not want to follow Kong Ming's order and let others get cheap.
"Ziwei, I have handed over the sword to the military advisor, if he insists on punishing, I have nothing to say." Liu Bei knew that Zhuge Liang's arrangement, with Zhao Yun in the rear Fancheng and not used, but handed over such a dangerous thing to Liu Feng, he must have been quite dissatisfied with Liu Feng's words when he first came, and Zhuge Liang is a strict person who governs the army, if Liu Feng does not return to Xinye this time, there will be a battle afterwards.
"I wish to bear it!" Liu Feng's eyes widened, and his righteous words were righteous, Liu Bei knew that he was not convinced by Zhuge Liang, and remembered that this plan was proposed by Liu Feng first, so he did not stop it, and Liu Feng turned over and killed back to Bowangpo.
The two of them each led troops to rush in, and they were bumping into Li Dian packing up the remnants of the army and wanted to withdraw to Bowang City, Liu Feng shouted, Li Dian recalled that Fan Cheng's injuries had been recuperating for several months, so he did not dare to confront him, and he didn't care about sorting out the remnants at the moment, and led hundreds of soldiers and horses to flee, Liu Feng led Li Chuang and hundreds of cavalry under his command, and followed closely.
After chasing for several miles, Liu Feng reined in the horses, stopped on the way, regardless of the remnants of the Cao army around him, summoned Li Chuang to him, and whispered to him to order the 200 cavalry of the headquarters to take off the armor of the Cao army that died in battle and bring it back.
Seeing that Li Chuang gave the order, Liu Feng no longer chased Li Dian, only chose a place where the fire was too hot and walked slowly, avoiding the place of battle, until half an hour, Liu Feng saw that the sound of shouting and killing around him was getting weaker, and the soldiers under his command immediately placed several complete sets of armor and several sharp blades, so he secretly ordered Li Chuang to order it to be hidden on horseback and collect the troops back.
Walking out of Bowangpo, Liu Feng saw that Liu Bei had already turned with Guan Zhang, and said that Zhuge Liang was like a god, and seeing that Liu Feng was fine, he led the troops back to Xinye.
When everyone arrived in Xinye, Liu Feng ordered Li Chuang to quickly bring his own soldiers back to the camp, and distributed the armor obtained to the 200 troops of the original Mangdang Mountain, and taught them to act secretly.
He returned to the Xinye Council Hall with Liu Bei, but saw Zhuge Liang sitting upright in the hall at this time, with a red face, showing that he was very satisfied with the victory over Cao Jun's 100,000 yuan with less than 10,000 people.
However, when he saw Liu Feng following among the generals, the smile on his face was condensed, and he glanced deeply, showing that he was angry with Liu Feng.
"The military advisor is very wise, and he is like a god, if it weren't for the strong wind in Bowangpo tonight, I don't know if this fire can burn off the 100,000 soldiers and horses of Xiahoudun."
As soon as Liu Bei saw Zhuge Liang, he thanked him, and on this march, Liu Bei handed over all the responsibility of command and dispatch to Zhuge Liang, and won this great victory, Zhuge Liang was naturally the first credit.
Liu Bei's voice did not fall, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others all bowed to Zhuge Liang, and knew in advance that Bo Wangpo would be fueled by the wind, and Guan Yu Zhang Fei admired this ability very much, and this rush was also very happy, so he recognized Zhuge Liang's resourcefulness a few points.
Everyone was very enthusiastic about this victory, only Liu Feng stood on the spot with his own face, his face was expressionless, but his mind was in a hurry, knowing that if he did not return to Xinye according to Zhuge Liang's order this time, Zhuge Liang would not expose the matter.
Sure enough, Liu Feng was thinking about this matter, and Zhuge Liang made a difficulty: "Lord, in this battle, everyone acted according to the plan, but there was only one person who did not act according to the plan, and I hope that the lord will allow Liang to do it in accordance with military law." ”
As soon as Liu Feng heard this, his eyes were like torches, and he glared at Kong Ming, knowing that Zhuge Liang didn't want to do this well.
"What the military advisor said is Ziwei, it is to protect me, and Xiahoudun has already retreated, so he has not returned to Xinye. This time to lure the enemy, Ziwei took the risk alone, and he was very brave, and since he had won, the matter would be over. Liu Bei knew the cause and effect of this matter, and had the intention to defend Liu Feng, so he said this.
"The lord's words are wrong, since Gu Ming has been in charge of the army, the merits and demerits are not comparable, General Ziwei knows that he needs to return to Xinye immediately after luring the enemy, but he stayed in Bowangpo, and wantonly searched for Cao Jun's equipment, isn't it a knowingly offense, if he is not punished this time, Kong Ming will no longer govern the army in the future!"
Liu Feng stood in the hall, and when he heard this, he wanted to bite his steel teeth with hatred!
