In the early hours of the morning, under Picheng. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, it was the time when the moon and stars were scarce, there were only three or five lights flickering on the city wall, and there were still more than ten soldiers patrolling the city wall, and everything seemed to be normal.

Suddenly, many torches appeared outside the city, and the neighing of horses was heard, which startled the city guards.

The soldiers looked out of the city, but saw a lot of sparse black shadows standing a thousand steps outside the city, and two horsemen with more than 100 people went straight to the city gate.

"Well, which fool is guarding the city in the city, our eldest brother Uncle Liu Huang is back in the city, why don't you open the city quickly to greet you?"

Zhang Fei's voice instantly brightened the city wall, and soldiers continued to appear on the city wall, and then, a general soon appeared in the city gate tower.

"Zhang Fei, Zhang Laosan?"

"Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang?"

"Liu Bei, where is Uncle Liu Huang?"

Under the shadow of the torches, I couldn't see the appearance of the general in the city, and I couldn't tell who this person was, just listening to this voice, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who were calling the door under the city, felt very familiar no matter how they sounded.

"The lord is behind him, and the general should open the city gate quickly, so as not to make a mistake!"

Guan Yu replied first, Zhang Fei's words are too easy to offend people, so it's better not to speak out.

At this time, Uncle Liu Huang, who was not far behind him, seemed to sense that there was no danger, so he also led the army over.

"General Guan, Uncle Liu Huang, do you still recognize a certain Huang Zhong?"

Seeing a fire dragon go straight to the city, the city guard laughed and laughed.

Huang Zhong? How could he be in Xiapi?

"Old Pifu Huang, does Yuan Shu's thief and bird also want to take my brother's city?" Finally caught the opportunity to speak, Zhang Fei couldn't help but shout and scold.

"Third brother, it's not Yuan Shu, it's Hao Meng's house!" Liu Bei's face was a little unkind.

Years ago, Huang Zhong had been detained in the dungeon of Jinan City, and now he suddenly appeared in Xiapi City and presided over the defense of this city.

"Uncle Liu Huang, my lord has a saying, I heard that Uncle Liu Huang likes Xuzhou City, and specially invited Uncle Liu Huang to go to Xuzhou Panhuan for a few days.

Huang Zhong said, but did not order the attack.

"Retreat! Go to Jiujiang County! Liu Bei looked at Huang Zhong, who was laughing on the city wall, gave an order, turned around and left.

Xiapi was actually taken away by Hao Meng, and the remaining ten or so cities in the county didn't seem to be very safe, except for retreating to Jiujiang County, Uncle Liu Huang couldn't find a way out in Xiapi.

Fortunately, the terrain of Jiujiang County is complicated, and his Uncle Liu Huang has nearly 20,000 troops stationed in it, as long as he retreats to Jiujiang County to defend across the river, even if Hao Meng's generals are like clouds, it will be difficult to conquer for a while.

Seeing Liu Guanzhang retreating, Huang Zhong on the city wall subconsciously sighed, stretched out his hand and wiped a cold sweat on his face.

……

Zhongli County is a city located at the junction of Peiguo, Xiapi and Jiujiang County, which theoretically belongs to the jurisdiction of Peiguo, but when Liu Bei seized Jiujiang County, he took this necessary road in his hands.

Outside the city, there is Huaishui, which is the natural barrier of Jiujiang County.

On the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, in the afternoon, outside Zhongli County, on an unnamed hill by the river, Hao Meng took his wife Cai Wenji, and the little princess Lori, who was like a fart, was enjoying spring on this hill.

The guards around him, in addition to the thirty female heavy infantry, were only ten Yulei boys.

Spring begins early in the south, and after the year, the wild begins to glow with greenery, and there are purple and red mountains all over the country.

"Brother Hao, do you really want to kill Uncle Huang?"

Although the little princess was strolling among the flowers and plants, her mind could not appreciate this touch of spring, but was a little worried.

For the little princess, although the emperor's brother is her only relative, it is too far away after all; In the entire clan, although Liu Bei was born in Yeluzi, he was the most friendly.

However, now this kind clan uncle seems to be about to be killed by Brother Hao!

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch?"

"Of course, Ben Hou didn't have to fight Liu Bei to the death, it's just that people don't hurt the tiger, but the tiger is harmful to people."

"The direction of Ben Hou's strategy is indeed Yanzhou, and the three chess pieces of Dian Wei, Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong are buried, just in case."

"If Liu Bei's house doesn't move, the three of Dian Wei will go to Yanzhou in a few days. It's a pity that Liu Bei still couldn't help but use troops in Xuzhou. ”

"So, Uncle Liu Huang was chased by us like a rabbit, and he was completely to blame, no wonder Ben Hou!"

Hao Meng picked a spring flower, sandwiched it next to Cai Wenji's sideburns, and answered the topic of the little princess casually.

……

"So, can Brother Hao save Uncle Huang's life for the sake of Princess Ben's face?"

The little princess also picked a spring flower, like Cai Wenji, and held it next to her ear and temples, but her mouth was begging for Liu Bei's mercy.

It's just that, looking at the little princess's careless appearance, it seems that she doesn't expect to succeed in begging for mercy for Liu Bei.

In fact, the little princess also understood that if Hao Meng really wanted to kill Liu Bei, she wouldn't care about her eldest princess's face at all. This is like the princes of the Manchu Dynasty for their own selfish interests, who puts the Son of Heaven in their eyes?

Hao Meng smiled a little helplessly: "It depends on Liu Bei's creation." ”

"Dian Wei only has the personal guard battalion around him, as long as Liu Bei is not killed by the dragon cannonball, he will almost retreat immediately."

"There are only General Zhang Wenyuan in Liangcheng County, and a battalion of more than 500 soldiers and horses. When Liu Bei retreats to Liangcheng County, he will become a frightened bird, and as long as he sees Zhang Liao's banner, he will inevitably retreat again and again. ”

"It's just that Liu Bei will never know that there are indeed only two soldiers and horses left in Xuzhou by Benhou."

"Yes, from Liangcheng County to Pi, and even to the current Zhongli County, there is only one battalion of soldiers and horses in each city. With the strategy of all the grass and trees, Liu Bei did not dare to enter the city and camp rashly. ”

"In this way, when Liu Bei bumped into Huang Zhong in Xiapi, he would never dare to forcibly attack the city, and would only retreat all the way to Jiujiang County."

"In this way, there is nothing wrong with Liu Bei's little life."

"After all, what we want is just to recapture Xiapi, not to kill Liu Bei."

"Besides, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and letting Liu Bei enter Jiangdong will inevitably contain Sun Quan in Jiangdong and Yuan Shu in Yuzhou."

Hao Meng's answer did not say what kind of result would be if Liu Bei did not follow such steps.

While the three of them were talking, a guard came to report, and Dian Wei rushed over.

After a while, Dian Wei came to this nameless hill.

"Lord, Dian Wei has fulfilled his mission and brought Liu Bei here."

After Dian Wei took Guan Yu and the others, he rushed over with the guard battalion.

Although, according to the plan, it doesn't matter if this last link is there or not, and it doesn't really matter if you want to fight Liu Bei to the death. However, Dian Wei still wanted to come over and see how his father-in-law forced Liu Bei into a corner.

"Oh, Liu Bei is really fateful, or follow the route we designed for him?"

Hao Meng's voice was full of surprise.

He didn't expect that this kind of strategy of leading the enemy by the nose would really work.

It is said that once in the romance, Brother Zhuge liked to do the most, which was probably to lead the enemy by the nose. This time, Hao Menglin forced the cat to draw a tiger pretend, and really asked Liu Bei to come to Jiujiang obediently.

Looking at the cliff near the river not far away, Hao Meng smiled and said: "Benhou has not heard the sound of his wife's piano for many days, and today I will ask my wife to play a song "Ambush on All Sides" for my husband, how about it?" ”

This is Hao's dream of "Empty City Plan", and he is ready to pretend to be forced again in front of Liu Bei.

Cai Wenji's beautiful eyes turned, and she seemed to guess Hao Meng's intentions, and said with a smile: "Concubine, it's better to be respectful than to obey!" ”

As he spoke, a maid sent a guqin and placed it on the edge of the cliff.

……

Just after noon, a group of remnants of soldiers came to the side of the Huai River, led by a few generals who were relatively neat, but they also looked lonely.

Anyone, in just three or five days, was woken up from the dream of being about to unify Xuzhou, and he would probably be a little disheartened.

At this time, the three brothers of Uncle Liu were not only beaten by others, but also lost their lives. Even, even how Xiapi City was lost, Liu Bei has always been puzzled until now.

Fortunately, he captured most of Jiujiang County a few years ago, and he Liu Bei will not be chased away without a place to stay.

Across the river is Zhongli County at the junction of the three counties, after Zhongli only two days away, most of the generals only need half a day, can reach Shouchun City, the capital of Jiujiang County.

The capital of Jiujiang County was originally Hefei City.

It's a pity that Liu Bei only won most of Jiujiang County, and he couldn't help the Jiancheng Hefei. Therefore, after Liu Bei took control of Jiujiang County, although he only had most of the territory, he also built Shouchun City, the capital of Jiujiang County.

At this time, almost half of Liu Bei's soldiers, horses, money and grain were stored in Shouchun City, and they were led by Chen Zhi, the personal guard general of Uncle Liu. Originally, these soldiers, horses, money and food were intended to be used to seize the entire Yangzhou by taking advantage of the chaos, but now they have become a lifesaver.

As long as he arrives in Shouchun City, he Liu Bei will finally have a comeback!

He Liu Bei is not the overlord of Western Chu, and he would rather kill himself on the Wujiang River than cross the Jiangdong. As long as he Liu Bei crosses the river, the sky is high and the birds fly, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and he will come back one day to find Hao Meng to avenge today's revenge!

……

"Big brother, Hao Meng is here in person, and it is Hao Meng's general flag hanging at the head of Zhongli City!"

Guan Yu looked at Zhongli City on the other side of the Huai River for a long time, and finally came to such a conclusion.

"The whole army rests for half an hour, then crosses the river and captures Zhongli City!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei ordered with an expressionless face.

At this time, it was just spring, and most of the rivers in the south of the Yangtze River were in the dry period, and it was still easy to trek through.

There were less than 5,000 people, and after hearing the military order to rest, most of them fell in an instant.

Fleeing from outside Xiapi City in the early hours of yesterday morning, the whole army has never rested at all, and even the food has long been run out. However, the cities along the way were hung with Hao Meng's banner, and Liu Beijun did not dare to knock on the city easily.

"Big brother, since Hao Meng has come to Zhongli City in person, there must be heavy guards in the city, how can we conquer Zhongli City with only 5,000 remnants?" Guan Yu paced to the eldest brother and whispered admonishment.

Hearing this, Liu Bei asked rhetorically: "How many soldiers and horses does Hao Meng's family have?" ”

"Hao Meng originally had fourteen soldiers and horses, which is nearly 80,000 people. After the surrender of Xuzhou, he got 30,000 soldiers from Xuzhou, and now Hao Meng has a total of almost 110,000 soldiers and horses. Sun Qian replied.

There were so many soldiers and horses, which made Guan Yu and Zhang Fei gasp.

I think that at the beginning, when the princes would join the alliance to attack Dong Zhuo, although the alliance was known as a 500,000 army, it was mostly a rabble, and Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses were elite, only 150,000.

At this time, the number of Hao Meng's soldiers and horses is almost comparable to Dong Zhuo's originality, can you not surprise Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?

Previously, they really hadn't seriously counted how many soldiers and horses Hao Meng had fallen.

Liu Bei was noncommittal and said: "How many soldiers and horses Hao Meng left behind in Qingzhou, how many soldiers and horses attacked Yanzhou, and what are the geometry of the soldiers and horses that stayed in Xuzhou?" ”

Sun Qian replied: "Hao Meng left four soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, eight soldiers and horses to attack Yanzhou, plus 20,000 soldiers in Xuzhou, and one soldier and horse each stationed in Xuzhou City and Xiaopei. ”

Liu Bei said with a glint in his eyes: "In this way, how many soldiers and horses does Hao Meng use to ambush us?" ”

"From Xuzhou City to this place, there are fifteen or sixteen cities during the period, even if Hao Meng captures the city, there will be more than a thousand people with only a small number of garrisons, right?"

"Since Xiapi City has been taken silently, there will be more than 5,000 people, to say the least."

"In this way, in the opposite city, how many soldiers and horses can be left around Hao Meng?"

"It's not good, Hao Meng's side, I'm afraid that there are not even a thousand soldiers and horses at this time!"

"Hao Mengdu is so bold, do you really think that a certain Liu Xuande is scared?"

……

Whether his eldest brother was frightened or not, Guan Yu really didn't know. It's just that seeing that the eldest brother finally recovered some excitement, Guan Lao Er really didn't want to dampen the enthusiasm of the eldest brother.

Well, even if Hao Meng is alone at this time, with their only 5,000 remnants defeated, it seems that they can't kill Hao Meng's guy, right?

Besides, Hao Meng also has a resurrection spell, which consumes all the remnants of their defeated soldiers.

As he spoke, the sound of the piano suddenly came from afar, for the exhausted remnants of the soldiers, this sound was comparable to a lullaby, even if the sound of the piano was full of the sound of the golden iron horse, the soldiers were also snoring.

Listening to the sound of the golden iron horse, Guan Yu was intoxicated, Zhang Fei was intoxicated, and even Liu Bei was intoxicated.

What a beautiful piano song!

However, the well-informed Jian Yong listened to it for a while, and instantly changed color and said: "Lord, it's not good, this is the qin song "Ambush on All Sides"!" ”

Hearing this, the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang woke up from their intoxication in an instant.

The piano song "Ambush on All Sides" has long been rumored to be amazing, not because of how powerful this song is, but because it appears with this song, it is often a cold and murderous machine!

Following the sound of the piano, everyone soon saw a few people standing on the cliff of a hill on the other side of the river.

"It's Hao Meng's thief!"

Zhang Fei gritted his teeth and said.

……

"Uncle Liu Huang wait a minute, my lord has a word, there is a song "Ambush on All Sides" today, and send Uncle Liu Huang to go slowly!"

Dian Wei's rough voice came from far away from the cliff.

"Cross the river!" Liu Bei's voice was a little distorted.

"Big brother, but you want to cross the river and attack the city? Or is it to go up the mountain to capture Hao Meng's thief? Zhang Fei asked excitedly.

Uncle Liu's facial muscles trembled, and he said hatefully: "There must be an ambush on both sides of the Huai River, let's cross the river and go straight to Shouchun City!" ”

With the speed of the general's mount, he can rush to Shouchun City at sunset, and as for the ordinary soldiers who drag oil bottles, Uncle Liu Huang can only endure the pain.
