Chapter 218: Lu Qian attacked the camp
At night, he saw the fire, so he wanted to attack the camp at night, but Lu Bu's camp was far away, and Lu Qian knew that he was not Lu Bu's opponent, so he came over to loot Zhang Liao's camp. Cao Cao once praised Lu Qian for his courage and strategy, Lu Qian robbed the camp, and thought in his heart that Zhang Liao would definitely come back, so it was better to design and capture him in the camp, and just to avenge Xiao Pei.
So Lü Qian ambushed in the camp, Zhang Liaojun just entered the camp Lü Qian led the troops to kill everywhere, seeing that the heavenly soldiers suddenly came, Zhang Liao's army was unstable and scattered. Although Zhang Liao was exhausted, in order to survive, he had to fight his way out of the chaos. In the dark night, I didn't know how many soldiers and horses there were on the opposite side, and after the soldiers dispersed, He Qi hurriedly led nearly three hundred Danyang soldiers to kill from Lu Qian's military horses.
At the same time that Zhang Liao discovered He Qi, He Qi also discovered Zhang Liao, so He Qi hurriedly led the Danyang soldiers to protect Zhang Liao and rushed towards Lu Bu's camp. Breaking away from the encirclement of Lu Qian, Zhang Liao wanted to return to Lu Bu's camp, He Qi hurriedly persuaded: "The general can't, the second son of Xuzhou has been defeated by Cao Cao many times, no matter how smart Cao Cao is, he is not his opponent, I think this robbery camp is not his real purpose, I am afraid that he has already set up an ambush on the way to the marshal, just wait for the general to be caught!" ”
So Zhang Liao led his troops to hide at the foot of a mountain to rest, wanting to wait until dawn to observe the situation before making a decision. He Qi knew that Zhang Liao was brave, because when fighting with Lu Qian, Lu Qian, who Zhang Liao killed on his own, did not dare to approach, and finally watched Zhang Liao escape.
Therefore, He Qi is not far away, and only wants to act at the opportunity. After resting at the foot of the mountain, He Qi asked the soldiers to control the wind at the foot of the mountain, and Zhang Liao was tired after running all night, so He Qi persuaded Zhang Liao to take a rest, take the wind himself, and wait until dawn to gather the rout and recapture the camp.
Along the way, He Qi escorted himself out of the encirclement, if he was a traitor, he would definitely kill himself, Zhang Liao did not suspect the hidden He Qi, so he lay down and rested. After Zhang Liao fell asleep, He Qi took Zhang Liao's big knife, and several people suddenly strangled Zhang Liao with ropes and captured Zhang Liao.
After listening to He Qi's narration, Tao Ying couldn't help but praise He Qi. It is obviously not enough to reward He Qi alone, Tao Ying recommended Zhuge Jin for meritorious service, and gave Zhuge Jin a reward for being an official and entering the knighthood.
After dawn, Lu Qian led his troops to the city to meet Tao Ying, and Tao Ying went out of the city to greet Lu Qian. This is the first time Tao Ying has seen Lu Qian, he originally thought that Lu Qian was a man with a tiger's back, but he never thought that this Lu Qian was actually a Confucian general!
Lu Qian looked polite and a little thin, but there was a shrewd light in his eyes, and he seemed to know that he was an extremely smart person.
After comforting Lü Qian for a few words, Tao Ying still appointed Lü Qian as the minister of Peiguo, and Lü Qian also knelt down and swore that he would definitely recapture Xiaopei and reunify Peiguo.
After reorganizing the men and horses, Tao Ying asked Yu Ban about the casualties, in this battle, Tao Ying lost nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses, Lu Bu lost more than 5,000 soldiers and horses, Lu Qian and Zhuge Jin captured nearly 2,000 Zhang Liao's men and horses, and the rest fled to the mountains. At this time, the three armies were ownerless, and it was a good time to recruit them, so Yu Ban was busy and asked people to go around chasing and suppressing the fleeing Zhang Liao military horses and Lu Bu military horses.
It is said that when Lu Bu returned to the camp, he was extremely happy, although this battle did not destroy Zhao Yun's camp in one fell swoop according to the original plan, and then took advantage of the forbidden army to come out to help, Zhang Liao broke through Guangqi, but at least captured Zhao Yun, the number one pioneer under Tao Ying, it was enough!
Just when Lu Bu was happy, a soldier suddenly came to report that the camp of Zhang Liao had been broken by Tao Ying's army, and the life and death of General Zhang Liao were unknown. Hearing that Zhang Liao, who had broken the head of the eight athletes, Lu Bu screamed angrily. After coming to Xuzhou, Cheng Lian, one of the eight strong generals, took his family to take refuge in Tao Ying, which made him extremely angry, and now he has broken a hand, how can Lu Bu not be angry?
In a fit of anger, Lu Bu wanted to behead Zhao Yun to vent his anger, but Lu Bu suddenly received a letter from Tao Ying. Tao Ying said in his heart that he had captured Zhang Liao and was willing to exchange Zhao Yun with Lu Bu.
Hearing that Zhang Liao was still alive, Lu Bu called someone to leave Zhao Yun behind.
Lu Bu replied that he was willing to exchange hostages, so the two agreed to exchange hostages outside the city at ten o'clock in the evening. On the evening of August, the sunset stained the sky red, and if there was no damn war, the common people of Guangqi City at this time would definitely move out of their chairs and sit in the courtyard to enjoy the shade. And the people in the village, after a busy day's farm work, must be on their way home at this time.
Now the people in the city are afraid to go out, and the people outside the city have already fled to other places. A war has brought the city back to where it was three years ago.
Lu Bu led a thousand cavalry to come, Tao Ying wanted to go out of the city, but Yu Ban was afraid that Lu Bu would rush over in the chaos, and everyone would definitely not be able to resist, so he asked Tao Ying to wait in the city, where Tao Ying was willing, so everyone had to escort carefully.
Even in order to protect Tao Ying's safety, Yu Banlian's Tai Shi Ci, who was stationed in Wuyuan, was also transferred to protect Tao Ying. At this time, Wuyuan, Cao Chun and Li Dian had already led their troops out of Wuyuan, using Shiting Town as a springboard to capture Huben City in Donghai County. The tiger was broken, and Cao Chun went to Donghai County to guard Tancheng along the way, and the Tancheng guard hurriedly asked Lu Bu for help.
At this time, Yin Li also led the army from Haixi to Houqiu, and Houqiu surrendered directly after Yin Li's arrival. During the reign of Lü Bu in Xuzhou, in order to meet his military needs, he continued to recruit soldiers, and in order to raise soldiers, he began to collect taxes and grain, and the people wanted to rebel against him.
The Houqiu guard general was not an old general of Lu Bu, and he was even more unwilling to work for Lu Bu, so Yin Li got Houqiu without much effort, and then sent troops to continue north.
Han Dang in the north led his soldiers and horses to capture several counties around Jiaozhou Bay, turning only one county of Qingdao County into a land with three counties. Qingzhou Yuan Tan took the opportunity to go south, but he didn't want to encounter Gao Shun's block, Gao Shun's camp fought Yuan Tan's army without a hand, in addition to the north was blocked, several cities in the south were captured.
Divide and attack, although Lu Bu is strong at this time, but he does not have enough big future to guard all places, only by condensing into a rope can he have the strength to hit people, but Lu Bu does not.
Outside the city, Lu Bu stopped the horse's hooves a stone's throw away. Tao Ying also stopped his horse, and the generals lined up behind him. On both sides of Tao Ying stood his own commander Yu Ban and his bodyguard Zhou Tai. Then there are the fierce general Tai Shici, the resourceful general Zhuge Jin, and the victorious general He Qi and others.
Lu Bu hit the horse and walked to the front of the formation, and Tao Ying also walked to the front of the formation, this was the first time the two had met since they turned against each other. Tao Ying wanted to overwhelm Lu Bu morally, so he scolded: "Lu Bu, why did you betray me? ”
Lu Bu knew that he was unreasonable, but he returned without shame: "When did I betray you?" I opened up territory for you Xuzhou, but you came to blame me instead, what is the reason? ”
