Zhongyang Town, Tucheng, Zhongjun Tent.

Liu Hu ran in angrily and said, "Big brother, something happened!" ”

Liu Pan glared at Liu Hu angrily and scolded: "What do you look like in a panic!" Say, what's wrong? Liu Pan was very helpless about his reckless younger brother, no matter how many times Liu Pan said it all, or Liu Qi's persuasion, he didn't hear it.

"As soon as the lord's 'Dutian Order' came out, the family of the three counties was in chaos, and now the old thief Yuan took advantage of the situation to enter, and more than 6,000 Yuan Lie thieves surrounded Yiyang County! The lord is still inside......" Liu Hu almost shouted out, "There are only more than 4,000 soldiers in the city, how can you defend them?" ”

"What!" Liu Pan, who looked incredulous, grabbed Liu Hu's shoulder fiercely and asked urgently, "What you said is true?" ”

Liu Hu nodded and said, "The scout who reported the new news to the lord came back to say that he couldn't enter the city because he saw Yuan Lie besieging the city. Big brother, what should I do now? ”

Liu Pan's expression was grim, and he asked: "Hurry up and go to Anqi Hou to find out the situation of their troops, if they besiege the city alone, they won't be able to besiege it for long." After a pause, his nervous mood suddenly relaxed, and said, "What's more, they shouldn't have found out that our small army is stationed in Zhongyang Town, this may be our chance." ”

"What does the eldest brother mean is that the inside should be combined with the outside, and Yuan Lie will be flanked?" Liu Hu is clear at a glance.

Liu Pan snorted and said, "The difficulty lies in how to let the lord of the city know that we are cooperating with him to attack Yuan Lie." ”

Liu Hu suddenly shouted: "Big brother, why don't you let me break through and break into Yiyang County?" ”

"No! It's too dangerous! Liu Pan vetoed it.

"The lord's situation is even more dangerous!" The brothers had a dispute, you don't let me, I won't let you.

……

"General, someone outside the door claiming to be Liu Qi has come to ask for a meeting." In the first battle of Tucheng, more than 1,800 Liu brothers remained, most of whom were wounded. Therefore, the person in charge of guarding the gate of Tucheng was a local Qingzhuang, who did not know Liu Qi.

"The lord is here?" The two of them were stunned when they heard this, and they couldn't understand why Liu Qi came here, so they walked out quickly.

The two of them took three steps and took one step, and when they came to Tumen, they saw that it was Liu Qi and Shi Ah Xunyu, and they were followed by more than a dozen personal guards.

Liu Pan was overjoyed and shouted: "The lord is really you!" Aren't you surrounded by Yuan Lie in Yiyang... You're hurt! Liu Pan saw the cable tie on Liu Qi's arm at a glance, and couldn't help but be worried and angry.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Liu Qi said: "The second brother is guarding in Yiyang County, and I was ambushed by the other party's assassins because I went to pick up the teacher, and my arm was cut, so there is no need to worry about a small injury." ”

The two Liu brothers suddenly realized, and Liu Hu said angrily: "It's hateful! To dare to be so bold in our territory is not to underestimate us! Lord, what about the Assassins? As he spoke, he was going to take his soldiers and pursue them along the road.

Liu Qi smiled bitterly: "Ah Hu, how many times have you said that you should be calm in case of trouble, you just can't remember." Besides, what is the use of you pursuing it now? They have already been slain by us. ”

Liu Hu scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Hehe......"

Liu Qi and Liu Pan glanced at each other and felt powerless. Liu Pan glared at Liu Hu angrily and asked, "Lord, what happened?" ”

Liu Qi had to say the whole thing briefly, but the two brothers Liu Pan lit up and said in unison: "Could it be that he is the meticulous work of the old thief of Yuan Shu?" ”

Under the leadership of Liu Pan and Liu Hu, everyone walked to the Zhongjun tent, and Shi A asked, "Who?" ”

Liu Hu said: "When I broke through Tucheng a few days ago, I caught a person, according to the local three elders, he was Yang You, the younger brother of Yang Hong, a henchman and strategist under Yuan Lao's thief. , it was he who instigated the wealthy clan in the county to support Yuan Lie's grain and grass and prepared to raise troops against the lord. ”

"Is there such a thing?!" Liu Qi and Xun Yu glanced at each other, and Liu Qi asked, "Where are you now?" ”

"Lord, your injuries ......" Liu Pan was worried about Liu Qi's injuries and persuaded.

"Apan, I'm really fine. Go and have someone bring this Yang You up! Liu Qi didn't care about his injuries at all, the only thing he needed to confirm now was whether this Yang You was the shopkeeper of the inn, if so, then the design and layout of all these serial schemes could be easily solved.

"Yes." Liu Pan had no choice but to promise, and then said to Liu Hu: "Go and bring that Yang You up, Ah Hu, you go to the doctor to check the injuries of the lord." ”

After a while, Yang You had been taken into the tent.

As soon as Shi A saw Yang You, he was angry for no reason, and scolded angrily: "It's you!" ”

As he spoke, Shi A was about to beat Yang You with a punch, but Liu Qi stopped him and said bitterly: "Sure enough, it's you, Yang You." ”

Xun Yu and the others suddenly understood that the innkeeper Liu Qi said should be this person. Liu Pan was angry, Liu Qi was not in a hurry to stop him, he punched Yang You so much that tears flowed out, and his eyes were full of stars. Under the repeated heavy punches, Yang You didn't snort, his eyes just stared at Liu Qi coldly.

Liu Qi saw that Liu Pan was going to continue fighting, and said indifferently: "Apan, that's enough." This time I should buy a lesson for my youth......"

Liu Pan stopped at this time, and Yang You said: "That's right, it's the old man." I didn't expect you to withdraw Dutian's strategy so quickly, and it made me fall short. ”

Liu Qi glanced at Yang You and said, "You should have been designing for a while." ”

Yang You's face remained unchanged, and he said: "Of course, since your old son Liu Biao played you as the county guard of Yiyang County, my lord has already arranged for the old man to come to Yiyang, for this day." ”

Xun Yu and Liu Qi glanced at each other, and their hearts were really like this. Hearing Yang You scolding Liu Biao, Liu Qi's face changed, and he said threateningly: "Mr. Yang can expect that the kid will have this day, I don't know if he has calculated for himself when he will die?" ”

Yang You suddenly laughed: "You hairy boy can't protect himself, why should the old man be afraid!" Do you really think that General Yuan Lie is fighting alone, you can't help but underestimate my eldest brother's resourcefulness! ”

Yang You saw through Liu Qi's arrangement at a glance, and if the two sides attacked, Yuan Lie would definitely be defeated.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Qi Xunyu was suddenly shocked and blurted out: "Biyang! ”

The general of Biyang is Lei Bo, the general of General Ji Ling under Yuan Shu, with a total of 3,000 horse troops. According to the news sent back by Chen Bao, the important reason why Lei Bo was stationed in Biyang was to assist Ji Ling in attacking Yiyang County and forming a horn trend.

Yang You's words undoubtedly reminded Liu Qi that if Lei Bo took advantage of this to go south directly, he would inevitably form an encirclement with Yuan Lie, and Yiyang would inevitably fall into a siege of about 10,000 troops. The city of Yiyang is small and cannot withstand the strong attack of 10,000 troops.

Yang You laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to wake up so quickly, but it's too late, hahaha...... Ha! ”

"Quack!" Liu Qi couldn't hold back any longer, punched Yang You unconscious, and when everyone was stunned, he said: "Escort him down, and interrogate him after retreating from the enemy." ”

The two soldiers dragged Yang You out, and Liu Qi continued: "Teacher, Lei Bo's three thousand horse army is a threat, if it is really according to what Yang You said, Yiyang at this time will not be able to hold it." What do you think, just say it. ”

Liu Hu shouted: "Come one to fight one, come two to fight a pair, I'm afraid he will be ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was glared at by Liu Pan, and Liu Hu suddenly squeaked and couldn't say why. Liu Pan glared at Liu Hu, and then said: "Lord, with our little strength alone, I'm afraid it's not enough for their horse army to charge into battle, and they won't have much strength to fight." Can't you send reinforcements from the Shinno side? ”

"Nope." Shi Ah rejected Liu Pan's suggestion to ask Xinye for reinforcements, and said: "I don't know what the situation of Xinye is now, and it will definitely not work to divide troops to support." ”

Liu Qi agreed: "That's true. ”

Xun Yu pondered for a while, nodded and said: "The enemy is dark and I am clear, Xinye is indeed as the third general said, and it is not suitable to send troops to support." If Xinye is lost, Yiyang County will not exist. ”

"So what to do?" Liu Hu screamed.

"This long-planned action, even if Lei Boduo is sluggish, has already reacted and sent troops." Xun Yu looked in the direction of Biyang and said, "The three thousand horse army led by Lei Bo should be the elite of Yuan Shu, different from the gang of thieves in Runan County, they are the elite who participated in the crusade against Dong Zhuo. ”

Liu Qi said helplessly: "Do you want me to give up Yiyang County?" "Once Yiyang County is abandoned, all the surrounding three counties will fall into the hands of Yuan Shu, and the troops of Yuan Shu Runan County will invade the hinterland with all their might.

"Not necessarily..."As soon as Xun Yu said this, everyone looked at him expectantly, and Liu Qi hurriedly asked, "Will the teacher come out?" ”

Xun Yu said angrily: "You are still a general, when have you ever seen the cavalry go into battle to attack the city in person?" ”

Liu Qi and the others suddenly came to their senses, and Liu Qi said: "The cavalry siege is nothing more than to lead the defenders out of the city, and the purpose of Lei Bo's coming this time is not to attack the city, but to besiege the city!" "Besiege but not attack, take the opportunity to spread rumors and so on to disturb the gentry and people in the city, and then the city will naturally be broken without attacking.

"That's right." Xun Yu said: "They rely on the siege of only Yuan Lie's 4,000 infantry army, as long as the second general does not come out of the city, they will not be able to take Yiyang County, at least not in a day or two." That's our chance. ”

Everyone's eyes lit up and shouted, "Sneak attack!" "Sneak attack is Liu Qi's forte, Yuan Ji and others from Runan County have suffered a lot, and after Xun Yu woke up, everyone couldn't help but relax.

Xun Yu nodded with satisfaction and explained: "We have few soldiers and many enemy soldiers, which gives them the heart to underestimate the enemy, and they will definitely not surround the three queyi." It is undoubtedly a chance for the second general to be trapped and fighting, and the art of war is that 'the proud soldiers will be defeated, and the mourning soldiers will win' At this time, as long as the major general is taken by surprise, it will naturally succeed. ”

Liu Qi said: "There should be a suspicion about the teacher's plan, if the other party finds out or there is no plan or someone superior sees it, it will be the time when our army will never recover." ”

"The major general is right, this trip depends on how lucky."

Liu Qi gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, you have to fight, and you will never sit still." ”

Although Shi A and the other four were a little younger, they were not inferior to anyone in their arrogance, and they all supported Liu Qi's decision. Shi A thought of the spear thrower of the spear battalion at this time, and couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Big brother, junior brother thinks that it is most suitable to use the spear thrower of the spear battalion as a sneak attack on the horse army. ”

I forgot about it! Liu Qi smiled: "Okay! Let Old Thief Yuan try the power of the short spear! ”
