Chapter 8 Fighting Yuan Shu
The conversation in the big tent can be described as a joy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe two of them were very polite, and they were quite polite in their conversations, as if Cao Ang respected Liu Bei's official position as a general, and Liu Bei also respected Cao Ang's identity as the eldest son. In the end, it was in this cheerful and friendly atmosphere that the conversation ended. Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao continued to rectify the soldiers and horses and count the grain and grass. Cao Ang went back to the camp to prepare for his inspiration. Only Liu Bei was still sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army, and as soon as everyone left, a frowning brow appeared on Liu Bei's face again.
Guan Yu still closed his eyes and said nothing, but Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Big brother, I didn't expect it, you have a lot of weight in the heart of Cao Cao's old thief, this kid respects you very much." ”
Liu Bei couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, shook his head and said: "Alas, I always thought that this Cao Cao's eldest son must be a high-flying and domineering person. ”
"Big brother, what are you talking about, you want me to see it, this Cao Ang is just a fool, why should the eldest brother worry?" When Zhang Fei heard this, he sat back in his seat and said with a big grin.
"As soon as this kid comes in, if he is arrogant and empty-eyed, I don't really care. Even if I am asked to hand over the military power as soon as I come, I have a countermeasure in my heart when I return to Yingdu. But as for him, as soon as he came in, he not only bowed very respectfully, but also praised me a lot, and he didn't even seize power. Could it be that he really came to rub off on his military exploits? ”
Guan Yu, who had not spoken, spoke: "Why should the eldest brother worry about Cao Ang's purpose? Whatever he did, he could just attack and kill him when the time came. ”
Liu Bei also nodded when he heard this: "What Yun Chang said is reasonable, but he has Xu Chu and five hundred tigers and leopards by his side, and if we want to kill him, we have to sum it up." Yun Chang, where is Yuan Shu now? ”
The three people in the big tent have been plotting how to kill Cao Ang. On the other hand, Cao Ang has already started his plan to visit the major camps. Even Xu Chu felt strange why Cao Ang had to take on such a task. Cao Ang heard Xu Chu's question, but chuckled and said, "Then Liu Bei is in charge of the military power, how can he easily hand it over?" These soldiers have been so blessed by my father over the years that they will not easily rebel. Therefore, what my father and I were worried about was nothing more than that they had credulously believed in Liu Bei's chaotic life, and they would have to turn back when the time came. Now I'm walking around the barracks just to tell them that I, Cao Ang, are here. In this way, no matter what bad things Liu Bei wants to do, as long as I appear in front of the battle to stop it, the army will definitely not obey Liu Bei's orders. In this way, although I did not seize power from Liu Bei, in fact, I had firmly grasped the military power in my hands. ”
Xu Chu heard this, but said: "Such a thing, with Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao, the two of them can be easily stopped, why bother the eldest prince?" ”
"Otherwise, no matter what the battle is, Liu Bei will be the main general in the army. At that time, if they find a way to support Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao, the two of them can only obey their fate. I'm different, even Liu Bei doesn't have the right to transfer me anywhere. As long as I am here, Liu Bei will not want to use this army to attack Xuzhou. What's more, I'm here to boost morale, but also to be able to fight this battle well, killing two birds with one stone, why not? ”
Xu Chu nodded when he heard this, he didn't speak, but he already had a new evaluation of Cao Ang in his heart. I have been following Cao Cao's side, and I really don't have much intersection with Cao Ang. Cao Ang's younger brothers are common to themselves, but they are all young, and they have a squirrel, as for what talents they have, they don't see it anyway. As for Cao Ang, although he had heard that this Cao Ang went to Langya alone to persuade Zang Ba to surrender, he was quite bold. But today, I found out that the strategy in Cao Ang's chest was just as good.
Cao Ang naturally didn't know that Xu Chu already had so many thoughts in his heart, but he found that Xu Chu's attitude towards himself had changed slightly, and even had a trace of respect in it, and he was also happy in his heart. Until he encountered Yuan Shu's army, Cao Ang went to the camps as long as he was okay to boost everyone's morale. No matter how hard the march was, Cao Ang did not stop his pace of wandering through the battalions. Even Liu Bei sighed that this son must be a person who can achieve great things in the future.
Now that the Yuan Shu army is in front of him, seeing the Yuan Shu army in the distance, looking like a remnant of the defeated army, Cao Ang is really not interested in continuing to watch. Such soldiers and horses are engaged head-on, and it is easy to break them, so why let the army divide its troops and ambush them on both sides?
But you can't blame Liu Bei, after all, yesterday, who would have known that Yuan Shujun would be like this. Therefore, Liu Bei made a plan, he himself faced Yuan Shu head-on, and then led him to chase. He took the tiger and leopard to ride and ambush Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the left, while Lu Zhao and Zhu Ling were ambushed on the right side, preparing to ambush.
In front of the two armies, Yuan Shu's mood was not very good, there was no way, who made the Cao army on the opposite side look invincible? Whether it is morale, equipment, or mental outlook, the sergeants under his command are really incomparable. Look at the soldiers on his side, all of them are disgraced like flowers, fortunately, there are not many people under Liu Bei, otherwise they all have plans to turn around and run.
Liu Bei stood in front of the two armies, and shouted: "Yuan Highway, you are arrogant and rebellious." I am here today on the orders of Your Majesty. The heavenly soldiers are here, you haven't dismounted and surrendered, and entered Beijing to receive the crime, when will you stay? ”
Yuan Shu couldn't help but feel even more angry in his heart when he heard this, and he raised the horsewhip in his hand, and shouted: "Liu Bei, are you deceiving me that Yuan Shu is a three-year-old child?" Entering Beijing to accept the crime is nothing more than death, and Cao Mengde can spare my life! ”
Liu Bei smiled when he heard this: "The Son of Heaven is still here, how can Cao Mengde determine your life and death?" If you don't surrender again, I, Liu Bei, will take your life first! ”
"Liu Bei!" Yuan Shu immediately said angrily when he heard this, even his voice was a little deformed, and he shouted loudly: "You are just a pariahs who weave mats and sell shoes, you dare to say such wild words!" You just order the soldiers and horses, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer today! Yuan Shu said, then turned around and ordered: "The whole army, rush me!" Kill Liu Bei, we will have a way to live! Kill! ”
Although Cao Ang couldn't hear what Liu Bei and Yuan Shu said, seeing that Yuan Shubei Liu Bei was so angry that he actually waved his army to pursue Liu Bei, Cao Ang's heart was also happy. No wonder Gao Ye always said that Yuan Shu was a dry bone in the grave, and when he saw it today, he really lived up to his reputation. Dare to charge the whole army without even investigating the reality of the enemy, I really don't think I died fast enough. However, it is said that Yuan Shu also has a general Qiao Rui under him, why didn't this person come forward to stop Yuan Shu's death?
Qiao Rui wanted to persuade him, but Yuan Shu didn't give him a chance at all. After saying a few words to Liu Bei, he directly ordered the whole army to charge, how could he stop it at this time? I can only follow the army and charge together. As for Liu Bei's conspiracy, he can only see the tricks. Especially when he saw Liu Bei's return to the military formation, he turned around and left with his people, and Qiao Rui's heart was even more alarmed. If you do this, there will be an ambush behind, and if the army pursues it again, it will inevitably be ambushed.
Although Qiao Rui thought like this in his heart, Yuan Shu seemed to be a ghost, and he only cared about chasing Liu Bei, and he didn't listen to his own opinions at all. This moment made me suddenly have a feeling of despair, knowing that he was going to die, how did Yuan Shu's brain grow?
Cao Ang saw that Yuan Shu's army had arrived, but he muttered: "The public did not cross the river, but the public actually crossed the river." Alas, poor Yuan Shu. Speaking of this, he immediately looked back at Guan Yu on the side and said, "General Guan, shouldn't we also attack?" ”
When Guan Yu heard this, he smiled and said, "What the eldest prince said is very true. All the army, attack! With Guan Yu's order, 10,000 soldiers on the left side came out. The two people on the right side of the road also led the army at this time, and went straight to Yuan Shu's army to kill, and even Liu Bei, who had been fleeing all the time, hurriedly ordered to return to the army to meet the enemy. For a while, Yuan Shu was attacked from three sides, and the army, which had little morale, was on the verge of rout.
All of a sudden, Cao Jun and Yuan Jun were in a scuffle, and even Cao Ang went into battle in person, under the leadership of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and went straight to the retreat of Yuan Jun. After all, what kind of credit can be more than the credit of capturing or killing Yuan Shu? Liu Bei gave this credit to Cao Ang, even Cao Ang had nothing to say.
With Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's opening path, coupled with the entourage of five hundred tigers and leopards, it was not difficult to kill directly from Yuan Shu's army to the rear. Especially with 2,000 soldiers and horses around him, it is quite difficult to stop the defeated Yuan Shujun here. But it is not impossible for Yuan Shu to attack and kill the defeated and retreating here.
The two thousand troops were immediately arrayed here, and Cao Ang was naturally surrounded by the escorted tiger and leopard cavalry, and Xu Chu followed closely. The remaining 2,000 soldiers and horses were on the periphery of Cao Ang, under the leadership of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and a military formation was established. Cao Chun took the remaining tigers and leopards to shuttle among the enemy troops, buying time for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to establish a military formation.
Guan and Zhang saw that Cao Chun was fighting in the battle, and it was difficult to return in a short time, Guan Yu immediately gave Zhang Fei a look, Zhang Fei suddenly understood, turned his horse back, and shouted: "Cao Ang Xiao'er takes his life!" After that, he danced a spear and rushed straight towards Cao Ang to kill. Although Guan Yu on the side didn't say much, the Qinglong Glaive Knife in his hand was already ready to go, and he and Zhang Fei went straight to Cao Ang.
Before Cao Ang could speak, Xu Chu on the side was furious and shouted: "The villain who betrays the master dares to do this!" Deng Shi danced a big knife and directly met Guan Yu who was killed on the left, and immediately killed. When Liu Bei made a plan, he had already considered Xu Chu Yongmeng beside Cao Ang, and Cao Chun's martial arts were not bad. No matter how brave Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are, it is difficult to defeat these two quickly. This time to attack and kill Cao Ang, what you want is a quick victory. Only then did Liu Bei plan to use his military exploits to tempt Cao Ang, and then transfer Cao Chun when he was behind the enemy, so that as long as one of the two dragged Xu Chu, the other would be able to kill Cao Ang. When the time comes, the two will work together and kill Xu Chu again.
Therefore, now Zhang Fei, seeing that Guan Yu was dragging Xu Chu, was even more overjoyed in his heart, such a great achievement would still fall into the hands of my old Zhang! Seeing that Cao Ang was in front of him, he shouted and stabbed out a spear, and came straight to Cao Ang.
