243, Cao Zixiao defeated Lu Bu and Yu Dayou to lure the enemy to attack Wei Yan
"Lu Bu! The defeat of 5,000 tigers and leopards at the hands of 1,000 cavalry of the enemy is so that I have never seen such a wasteful person since I led the troops. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
After Cao Ren heard that Lu Bu reported the situation, he couldn't help but be furious, he didn't calculate that Lu Bu would fail like this.
After listening to Cao Ren's words, Lu Bu was angry, his hands were clenched into fists, and he clicked, and the blue muscles on his face were fully displayed, but he still had some reasons, and only hated and said: "General, please stop being angry!" It's really wrong in intelligence, it's true that Ran Min has a thousand cavalry, but Zhao Yun suddenly led two thousand cavalry reinforcements, so there was such a defeat! General Cao must know Zhao Yun's skills, and he will not say more. β
Lu Bu's rebuttal made Cao Ren stunned for a moment, and then asked with some suspicion: "Is this true?" Zhao Yun actually had two thousand cavalry? Didn't Yuan Yin tell me that Wu Ming only had those 1,000 cavalry under his command? Where did two thousand riders come out of nowhere? β
In his impression, if he could break up his five thousand tigers and leopards, even if he was led by Zhao Yun and Ran Min, it must be an elite cavalry.
"Perhaps, according to the general's guess, Wu Ming must have hidden troops elsewhere and deliberately showed the enemy weakness, so that the general made a mistake in judgment, so as to achieve such a surprise effect."
Cao Ren squinted at Lu Bu and snorted coldly, "Five thousand tigers and leopards can't withstand the enemy's three thousand, and they dare to make a big deal here, and they don't retreat with me!" β
Lu Bu snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, turned to leave, and cursed secretly in his heart: Cao Ren Pifu! If it weren't for the fact that my family was small in Xudu, how could I tolerate such humiliation!
Cao Ren sighed and said to himself: "This Lu Bu was defeated by Wu Ming three times and twice, is it that Lu Bu, who is unparalleled in the world, has a false reputation, or is Ran Min, Zhao Yun and others his nemesis?" For today's plan, it is not easy to pursue Wu Ming again. It is better to gain a firm foothold in Shouchun first, report the situation here to the prime minister one by one, and wait for the prime minister to decide. Hehe, I don't know if Liu Biao can tear off a piece of meat from Wu Ming's mouth now! β
Nanyang County, Xinxi County.
A month earlier, Cao Cao had secretly sent an envoy to Liu Biao in Jingzhou, promising that after defeating Wu Ming, he would help Liu Biao jointly attack Sun Ce and return the four counties of Jingnan that Sun Ce had occupied. The condition was for Cao Ren to pretend to confront Cai Mao in Nanyang, and when the opportunity was right, Cao Ren would send a large army to attack Shouchun and then attack in the direction of Hefei; And Cai Mao sent troops from Xinxi County to attack Lujiang.
When Liu Biao heard this condition, he was overjoyed, and naturally he had no choice but to obey, so that he could not only get all the counties in Jingzhou, but also Lujiang County, and even, take the opportunity to capture other counties in Yangzhou.
At this time, Cai Mao had just led the troops out of a new breath, and the day before, he had ordered the vanguard Wei Yan to take the lead in leading 10,000 troops to attack Liao County, Lujiang County.
"Mr. Zirou, I wonder if General Wenchang can take Liao County at this time?"
It was Kuai Liang Kuai Zirou who sent troops with Cai Mao, and he suggested that Cai Mao let Wei Yan be the vanguard and attack Liao County first.
"Don't worry, general! Lujiang County should not have many soldiers and horses at this time, and General Wenchang will definitely be able to take the lead here. Kuai Liang replied with a smile.
"Mr. Zirou, I still don't know anything, since I can make such a great achievement, why should I let Wei Yan's arrogant person take it?" Cai Mao was quite dissatisfied with Wei Yan in her tone.
"Those who have achieved great things, why should they care about this small merit! Wen Chang is skilled in martial arts and the art of war, and he is indeed a rare talent; Let him be the vanguard, if he can win, he will naturally remember the general's promotion grace, and then he will definitely obey the general, and collect Wei Yan's heart for his own use, and win a hundred times a city; If it is defeated, it can suppress its arrogance, and then, if the general can win, will it not make him convinced of the general? β
After hearing this, Cai Mao finally solved the doubts in her heart, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zirou is really wonderful, Mao admires!" β
Wei Yan's army marched all the way, and finally arrived in Liao County that night, and at this time Liao County only had a few hundred county soldiers, seeing Wei Yan's army suddenly descending from the sky, where did they dare to resist, they opened the city gate in less than an hour and surrendered to Wei Yan.
After Wei Yan took Liao County, he couldn't help laughing, "This time Wu Ming must have no defenses in Lujiang, if you only take one Liao County, you won't be able to show a certain ability, see me take the entire Lujiang County in one go, and I will be speechless." β
Wei Yan ordered the army to rest in place for a few hours, and then immediately marched towards Anfeng without stopping. An Feng also did not encounter any resistance, Wei Yan moved forward again, and then went down to Lou County. At this time, Wei Yan became more and more excited, and while he sent good news to Cai Mao, he rushed to Lu'an, an important town in Lujiang County, again.
Wei Yan led the army all the way quickly, walking, suddenly felt that the terrain was a little strange, the army marched to a mountain road, and hurriedly asked left and right: "What kind of mountain is this mountain?" β
"General Hui, the name of this mountain is Huo Mountain."
Wei Yan hurriedly shouted, "Quickly send the horse to talk back." β
At this time, a horse came galloping, and after seeing Wei Yan, he hurriedly dismounted. "No need to be polite, let me ask you, how are the troops in Lu'an City ahead, and is there any change now?"
"General Hui, it has now been found that there are about 5,000 defenders in Lu'an City, guarded by Yu Xiao, a newly promoted captain by Wu Ming, who is guarding the city at this time, waiting for our army to go."
After listening to Tanma's reply, Wei Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Who is this Yu Xiao?" β
"Back to the general's words, Yu Xiao was originally a martial artist in Fuling City who taught martial arts."
The spy's words made Wei Yan almost couldn't help laughing, "Martial artist? Just a martial artist, dare to lead troops to defend the city here? It seems that Wu Ming must be unavailable! Come, give orders, speed up, and be sure to capture Lu'an before General Cai arrives! β
After receiving Wei Yan's order, the army immediately accelerated its march, although they had gone through several days of rapid marching, and they all had some complaints in their hearts, but after all, they had already connected several cities, and with this merit, it was also considered some motivation.
The army was marching, and suddenly there was a shout of fighting from the mountains on both sides, and then many boulders rolled down from the mountain, which instantly wiped out the army under Wei Yan's command. Wei Yan secretly said in his heart that it was not good, but it was too late to retreat.
"Don't panic, immediately regroup your formation, prepare to meet the enemy, and those who dare to retreat will be killed!"
Wei Yan's roar made the originally scattered Jingzhou army slowly recover its formation, but the casualties were already quite heavy. At this time, the army on the mountain had already rushed down shouting, Wei Yanqing knew that the enemy army was high and down at this time, and it was not suitable for a battle, but he was not willing to lose, so he ordered the army to meet the ambushes on both sides.
The ambush was naturally an army of 5,000 led by Yu Dayou, and when Ran Min let him command the 5,000 troops in Lujiang County, he began to reorganize his training and teach the army new offensive and defensive techniques. Only a month later, the army was transformed. When he heard that Wei Yan led a large army to attack Lujiang, Yu Dayou knew that Wu Liren, who was fighting in Shouchun at this time, was unable to come to the rescue again, and his soldiers were insufficient, so he privately decided to let Wei Yan capture a few cities first and despise the enemy's heart. The army was ambushed in Huoshan outside Lu'an City, and then ordered the people in Lu'an City to put on the armor of the Wu army, and waved their flags and shouted on the city wall day and night, thinking that they were suspicious soldiers. finally let Wei Yan not doubt him, and directly entered Yu Dayou's ambush.
When Wei Yan saw Yu Dayou in the midst of the chaos, he had no anger coming from it, and thought to himself: Capture the thief and capture the king first! If you can kill that enemy general first, the enemy army will inevitably be in chaos. As soon as he thought of this, Wei Yan slapped his horse and danced his knife and killed Yu Dayou.
"The enemy general is rampant, Wei Yan is here!" (To be continued.) )
