Chapter 64
Meixian, in the conference hall, Lu Bu received the information sent back by Jia Xu, and after reading the information, Lu Bu's cold face smiled and his body was much more relaxed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"It seems that Han Sui and Ma Teng will withdraw their troops soon!"
Xu Huang and the others guessed something, everyone looked relieved, and the atmosphere in the hall was a lot more pleasant.
Lu Bu handed the information sent by Jia Xu to everyone for circulation, and when everyone finished reading it, their brows were happy.
"However, it is not rude to come! Han Sui and Ma Teng actually raised troops to attack, if they let them go like this, wouldn't it damage the prestige of Captain Ben! Lu Bu said coldly.
Although his power is weak, not everyone can bully, otherwise, in the future, whoever wants to expand his power will stretch his feet to Chang'an, and he can only let the other party wreak havoc and leave.
It can be said that this is Lu Bu's arrogance, and it can also be said that Lu Bu's character is retributive.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu shouted: "Send someone to closely monitor Ma Teng and Han Sui's camp, and if there is any movement to withdraw troops, report it at any time!" ā
"No!"
Xu Rong hugged his fists and said: "It's just that Han Sui is so shrewd, if he wants to withdraw his troops, he will definitely hide it from us!" ā
"Lord, if I were Han Sui, I would definitely not withdraw my troops during the day, in that case, wouldn't I tell the enemy army that I was going to withdraw my troops?"
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Gongming is reasonable!" However, if we pretended not to know about the changes in Jincheng, Han Sui would definitely not have imagined that we would have known about his intention to withdraw his troops! ā
"But there are many ways to go back to Xiliang after all, and it is difficult to find out Han Sui's route!"
Fan Chou also said.
"Let me think about it!" Lu Bu sent everyone away, leaving only Dian Wei in the council hall.
Lu Bu rubbed his tired temples, if only Jia Xu was by his side. Lu Bu suddenly thought of Jia Xu, and sighed in his heart, if he relies on Jia Xu all the time, what should he do when he encounters an emergency? Lu Bu shook his head in annoyance, as the lord of the house, it may not be possible to give advice, but on the battlefield, it is his own strength, if he is Han Sui, how should he withdraw his troops?
"Zi slow, what do you think Han Sui will do?"
Lu Bu asked casually, and he didn't expect Dian Wei to answer.
"If I were Han Sui, I would definitely think about the nearest way back to my nest!"
Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and what Dian Wei said made Lu Bu suddenly brightened. If Han Sui wanted to return to Jincheng as soon as possible, the only way to do so was to take the nearest road.
"Haha!" Lu Bu laughed loudly: "Ziman, you are right, Ben will know!" ā
Dian Wei scratched his head and looked at Lu Bu inexplicably.
Lu Bu ignored Guan Dianwei, ordered Chen Wei to find a pair of cowhide maps, searched carefully on the map, and finally set his eyes on Hanyang County. This is a mountainous and forest area, it is one of the few hilly mountains in Xiliang, if you ambush a soldier and horse here, when Han Sui passes, the ambush soldiers will be killed, even if you can't take Han Sui's life, you will have to hit this Han Sui hard.
As for choosing Han Sui instead of Ma Teng, of course, it is because of Ma Chao, if he wants to recover Xiliang in the future, he has to rely on the father and son of the Ma family, or leave a Ma Teng to restrain Han Sui. Now the two seem to have a disagreement, and all this is developed under their own will.
"That's it!" Lu Bu's gaze froze, and landed somewhere on the map.
Raising his head, Lu Bu thought about how to avoid Han Sui's ears and eyes and go around to Han Sui's rear, so he summoned Xu Rong, Xu Huang, Fan Chou and others to come.
Fan Chou listened to it, and said with a smile: "This is simple, I have a plan!" ā
"Oh!" Lu Bu looked at the rugged Fan Chou, all along, Fan Chou's strength and intelligence were mediocre, so Lu Bu discussed more with Xu Huang and Jia Xu and others, so he asked, "What's the plan?" ā
Fan Chou said: "......"
"That's a good idea!" Xu Rong nodded and said, "My lord, this method is feasible!" ā
"Good!" Lu Bu nodded and clapped, and now that Han Sui was not alert, he had already understood his intention to withdraw his troops, so he should plot as soon as possible.
The strategy was Fan Chou's idea, and Lu Bu asked Fan Chou to lead a thousand soldiers and horses and be responsible for implementing it.
Let's say that Han Sui and Ma Teng have discussed returning to Xiliang, but one of them is in Jincheng and the other is in Wuwei, and their territories are different, and Han Sui was wary of Ma Teng in his heart, so he and Ma Teng divided their troops back to Xiliang. As for who broke the decision, it became a point of disagreement between the two. In the end, it was Ma Teng who was good, and Han Sui's troops were damaged, so he sent Ma Teng to leave behind the broken queen.
On this day, there was nothing to do, Ma Teng and Han Sui's camp, as usual, there was no change in the slightest, and at night, Ma Teng and Han Sui's camp sent people to guard early, since the two wanted to withdraw their troops, they should be taken by surprise, and took advantage of the second half of the night to pull out the camp and leave.
It's just that before the third watch, outside Han Sui's camp, there was a burst of shouting and killing. Han Sui, who was resting, hurriedly put on a dress and left the camp, and the camp was immediately on alert, looking like he was facing a great enemy. It is no wonder that Lu Bu was attacked by Lu Bu that night and suffered heavy losses, and now seeing Lu Bu robbing the camp again, the entire Han Sui camp is afraid that he will be killed in his sleep by the enemy army who pounced in his sleep.
Outside the camp, Fan Chou led a thousand infantry, and at the place of an arrow outside the camp, they bent their bows and arrows one after another, and shot rockets into Han Sui's camp. Then when Han Sui's soldiers and horses reacted and fired back with bows and arrows, Fan Chou had already led the army to jump out of an arrow, and when the Xiliang army was all resting, Fan Chou led the soldiers and horses to shoot indiscriminately at Han Sui's camp, and the rockets were set on the fence in the camp, on the gate, and on the tent, and soon a fire broke out, and Han Sui's soldiers were tired of fighting the fire. After the fire was extinguished, Fan Chou led the soldiers and horses again.
Cheng Yin said to Han Sui: "My lord, Lu Bujun is so deceitful that he asked the last general to lead a group of soldiers and horses to destroy this group of enemy troops." ā
Han Sui shook his head, since he had already intended to withdraw his troops, he naturally didn't want to eat it raw.
"Order someone to separate the front camp from the rear camp, let the enemy release arrows, and send people to guard the camp to prevent Lu Bu's army from robbing the camp!"
"No!"
Everyone watched Fan Chou lead the troops away, and there was a nameless fire in their hearts.
On the other hand, the same is true of Ma Teng's battalion, when Ma Chao led the troops out of the camp to pursue Fan Chou, Fan Chou had already led the men and horses to escape, Ma Chao naturally did not dare to pursue too far in case of fraud.
ā¦ā¦
In the north of Meixian County, as the city gate slowly opened, the cavalry of 5,000 people quietly went out of the city gate, and went north by night. When Han Sui and Ma Teng were upset by Fan Chou's tired enemy plan, they didn't know that Lu Bu took advantage of the loud noise made by Fan Chou, avoided Han Sui's probe horse, and looked all the way to Hanyang County.
Han Sui and Ma Teng, who originally withdrew their troops in the second half of the night, had to withdraw during the day the next day after being led by Fan Chou and the soldiers and horses for a night, leaving Ma Chao to lead 10,000 cavalry.
"The Xiliang Army has withdrawn!"
Xu Rong stood at the head of Meixian County, looked at the retreating Xiliang army, and said to Fan Chou on the side.
"yes!" Fan Chou nodded and said, "It's up to the lord later!" ā
In addition to Ma Teng's 8,000 soldiers, Han Sui lost the most, and one of the eight strong generals under his command died in battle, plus the loss of more than 10,000 cavalry, there were only 30,000 soldiers and horses when he went back, and Ma Teng still had 40,000 soldiers and horses, and his strength has surpassed Ma Teng.
The two separated in Long County, Hanyang County, and returned to their own territories. Han Sui was concerned about the rebellion in Jincheng and Longxi, and after entering Hanyang, he ordered the army to speed up the march and go all the way to the west, heading straight to Jincheng.
Shoot Tiger Valley.
"Lord, Han Sui is really here!"
Dian Wei ran from outside excitedly and whispered to Lu Bu.
Shooting Tiger Valley is the only road leading to Jincheng, and Lu Bu has arrived here a day ago, ordering the army to lie in ambush in Shooting Tiger Valley, waiting for Han Sui's army.
"Good!" Lu Bu turned over and sat up, spit out the weeds in his mouth, and ordered: "Order Xu Huang to prepare, when Han Sui's army enters the Tiger Shooting Valley and blocks Han Sui's way, he will send someone to cover up and kill him!" ā
"No!"
The herald was given the order to leave, and soon disappeared into the dense forest.
Han Sui rode on his horse, looked ahead and asked, "Where have you been?" ā
Yan Xing said on the side: "Lord, you have arrived at the Tiger Shooting Valley!" ā
"Oh?" Han Sui's expression was a little lost, "After this Tiger Shooting Valley, I ordered the army to speed up the march again, and be sure to rush to Jincheng as soon as possible." ā
"Yes!" Yan Xing nodded.
"Did Lu Buke send someone to chase after him?" Han Sui suddenly asked again.
"Nope! As soon as our army withdrew, Lu Bu's army did not make any movement. In my opinion, Lu Bu's army is inferior to our army, and he will definitely not risk his danger to pursue our army! ā
Yan Xing thought for a while.
"Hmm!" Han Sui thought about it, if he was Lu Bu, it would definitely be an unwise choice to pursue the enemy without losing its strength.
"Boom!"
At this moment, there was a loud bang, as if countless rumbling sounds came from the front. The loud sound startled Han Sui and the others to sit down and jump uneasily.
"What's going on?"
Han Sui was taken aback, and had a bad premonition in his heart.
Yang Qiu, who was in the front, came to Han Sui on horseback, and said with a panicked expression: "Lord, it's not good, at the mouth of the valley in front, countless falling rocks and trees rolled down on the mountain, blocking the way of our army!" ā
"What?"
Before Han Sui could react from his panic, there was a shouting and killing sound from the front, and clusters of arrows rained down from the hillsides on both sides of the terrifying Juli Valley Pass.
The sudden change caused Han Sui's army to fall into a panic, and Yan Xing's expression also changed, who else could ambush him here except Lu Bu.
"The lord, and follow the last general, the last general will kill a way out for the lord!" At the critical moment, Yan Xing said decisively: "Yang Qiu, you lead your headquarters to the rear to prevent the enemy army behind Taniguchi from attacking from behind!" ā
"Quick, quick!" Han Su roared angrily.
"No!"
Yang Qiu led people towards the valley mouth, and Han Sui, escorted by his personal guards, followed Yan Xing closely.
At this moment, a loud noise came from the mouth of the valley, like a dragon chanting Jiuxiao, "Jiuyuan Lu Bu is here, Han Sui will die!" ā
The sound of horses' hooves rumbling from far and near, and the ground beneath his feet began to tremble uncontrollably.
The panicked Xiliang army followed the prestige, and saw a man leaping on a horse and a halberd in the distance, like a brilliant flame, galloping in the wind, and the cavalry behind him was like a knight from hell, full of a bloodthirsty aura.
Lu Bu, who was galloping on a horse, stared at the panicked Xiliang Army in front of him, a touch of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and the halberd was raised high, and then slashed down fiercely.
"Shoot!"
