Chapter 156 Cao Mengde was a leader during the banquet, and Liu Jingsheng intercepted Sun Jian halfway

As mentioned in the above book, Liu Qian and others led troops to return south, but Lu Bu and others did not dare to chase them, and there was a return from the exploration of horses, and Cao Cao came to lead the army. Lu Bu, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, arranged a stop with Li Ru's plan, and sent Guo Yan, Li Dao, and Fan Chou to lead troops to one side as an ambush.

Seeing that Lu Bu led the troops to break the road, Cao Cao rode out, pointed his sword at Lu Bu, and shouted loudly: "Traitor!" Raiding the Son of Heaven and displacing the people, where will they go? ”

Lu Bu rode out of the battle, mentioned Fang Tian's halberd, and scolded: "Coward, how can you talk nonsense!" More than 10,000 people dare to chase us? The 30,000 soldiers and horses of the expedition to the west were all repelled by us, and you are simply shaking the tree - you can't measure your strength! ”

Xiahoudun held his own courage, and said: "Brother Hugh wants to talk to this traitor, and wait for my brother to take it for you!" After finishing speaking, he jumped on the horse with a gun and took Lu Bu directly.

Lu Bu greeted each other with a halberd, and the two fought together.

After a few battles, Li Su, the deputy general in Lu Bu's formation, ordered the drum to attack, and more than 20,000 soldiers under Lu Bu all launched an attack. Cao Cao hurriedly led his troops to resist. Suddenly, Li Dao and Guo Yan led an army of thousands of people to kill from the mountain dock on the left, and Cao Cao hurriedly ordered Xiahou Yuan to lead troops to meet the enemy; Fan Chou led an army of thousands of people to kill from the mountain dock on the right, and Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren to lead troops to meet the enemy.

However, Lu Bu's soldiers were numerous, and they all covered up and killed, covering the sky; Cao Cao's army was already panicked when it was surrounded, so he hurriedly met the enemy and was already defeated, which was also the reason for the lack of training of the new army.

Let's look at Lu Bu and the other three-way army, the momentum of their efforts is unstoppable!

Xiahoudun fought until the number of battles, and he couldn't resist Lu Fengxian, so he flew back to the battle. Lü Bu took advantage of the situation and led 3,000 iron cavalry under his command to cover and kill, and Cao Cao's army was defeated and fled.

Lu Bu and others chased and killed for several miles and put it back.

After Cao Cao waited for Lu Bu's army to retreat, Xiahoudun and others almost suffered casualties on the battlefield, and found that they had lost five or six thousand soldiers, and suffered heavy losses. Cao Cao ordered the soldiers to bury the pot and cook, rest for a while, and after dawn, lead the soldiers back to Hanoi.

The next day, the Tanma Meteor reported to Yuan Shao: "Report to the alliance leader, Cao Cao led his troops to chase Dong Zhuo, fought with Lu Bu in Caoyang, and returned defeated. Now he is resting in the camp. ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he hurriedly invited Cao Cao to his tent, set up a banquet, and summoned all the princes to relieve Cao Cao's boredom.

When Gongsun Zan heard that Cao Cao's army was defeated, he said with relief: "Brother Meng De went alone, and his courage is commendable!" But I don't know if I can meet the Ministry of Zhengxi! ”

Cao Cao said: "Then Lu Feng's preface to the west has retreated. However, as far as we went, there were already many corpses of soldiers there, and most of their equipment was Dong Zhuojun's sergeants. Obviously, Zhengxi had already fought a battle with Lu Bu and others, and killed many soldiers of Dong Zhuojun! ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he secretly said in his heart: Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde, you want to make a big profit this time; However, I don't know that you have lost people, and you have no geographical advantages, and this time you have lost the sky in pursuit of Dong Zhuo, there is no reason to be undefeated. But this is just right, and I have an excuse to refrain from sending troops to the princes of all walks of life.

After thinking about it, he smiled and said as if this matter was a matter of course: "Presumably, Zhengxi knows that it is difficult to defeat Dong Zhuo's army of more than 200,000 troops, so he retreats first. It can be seen that Dong Zhuo's army is strong, and it is not something we can resist! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he put down the wine bottle in his hand, and couldn't help sighing: "I started to prosper righteousness, which was originally intended to eliminate thieves for the country." I am grateful to all the princes for coming with righteousness, and I am grateful for the loyalty of all the princesses! The original intention of the exercise, the desire to annoy the people of Hanoi, Linmengjin, sour jujubes; The generals stuck to Chenggao and Aocang, stuffed Yuyuan and Taigu, and controlled their dangers; The highway rate Nanyang's army, stationed in Dan, analysis, into the military pass, to earthquake three auxiliaries. All deep ditches and high bases, do not fight, benefit from doubtful soldiers, and show the situation in the world. To be obedient and disobedient, you can also be determined. If you hesitate to move forward today, you will be disappointed in the hope of the world. Shame on you! ”

Seeing that he looked like the world was public, Yuan Shao was angry in his heart: Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde, your eyes flickered, but you didn't know that you were also greedy for merit in your heart. They are all princes of one side, and this time they can be instructed by you!

He raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Yi, Han Fu and the others, all of whom were silent and silent.

Yuan Shu and the others just bowed their heads and kept silent, drinking on their own.

Seeing this, Cao Cao was indignant, and then left the table to leave. The next day, he led the army to Yangzhou.

The princes of all walks of life have different hearts, and Yuan Shao's own brothers are still divided into two directions, let alone others?

Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, was originally the Taishou Qiao Mao of Dongjun, and when he saw Qiao Mao close to Yuan Shao and others, he had a lot of complaints in his heart. Seeing Cao Cao leaving, all the princes scattered to his camp, he asked his general Chen Heng for advice.

"Lord, you can ask Qiao Mao to borrow food, if he refuses, we will lead the army to attack his camp and kill him on the grounds of disobedience to orders!" Chen Hengjin said.

"Not bad! Lord, that Sergeant Qiao Mao is usually restrained by us, so rushing into his barracks, the soldiers of Dongjun must be at a loss, we can do it all! Chen Wu also said on the side.

Liu Dai followed his words and sent people to Qiao Mao's camp to borrow grain. Sure enough, Qiao Mao shirked in every possible way and refused to lend it.

Liu Dai's subordinates, Chen Heng and Chen Wu, led the sergeants into Qiao Mao's camp and entered the tent to kill Qiao Mao. The soldiers of Dongjun under Qiao Mao's command were originally controlled by Liu Dai, but when they saw that Taishou was executed, they all surrendered. Liu Dai also stayed for a short time, fearing that Yuan Shao's brothers would retaliate, so he led his troops back to Yanzhou.

Gongsun Zhan saw that Cao Cao and Liu Dai were gone, and knew that the world was in chaos after that, so it was the best policy for each to control the power in their hands and gather their forces. Therefore, he led his troops back to Beiping, where he trained his soldiers and horses day and night, accumulating strength for the future hegemony.

Yuan Shao saw that everyone was dispersed, so he also left Luoyang and went to the east of the country.

The princes' troubles in Luoyang came to an end. But the story related to Dong Zhuo has just begun, and there will be more battles between Liu Qian and Dong Zhuo in the future......

Let's talk about Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, which has been mentioned in the previous document. Liu Biao, the word Jingsheng, Shanyang Gaoping people are also relatives of the Han family, descendants of Liu She, King Lugong; Young and good, and seven celebrities and scholars as friends, the time name "Jiangxia Bajun". The seven people: Runan Chen Xiang, the word Zhonglin; Fan Pan of the same county, the word Meng Bo; Lu Guo Kong Yu, the character Shiyuan; Bohai Fan Kang, the word Zhongzhen, Shanyang Tanfu, the word Wenyou; Zhang Jian of the same county, Ziyuan Festival; Nanyang Cen Hui, the word filial piety. Liu Biao was friends with these seven people; In addition, there are also Yanping people Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, and Xiangyang people Cai Mao as supplements.

He also received a letter from Cao Cao. However, he believed that Cao Cao's move was no different from Dong Zhuo's move to enter Beijing, so he did not send troops. One day, a messenger came, went to the city of Jiangling, met Liu Biao, and presented Yuan Shao's letter, which was roughly written: Present Liu Envoy, we were invited by Cao Mengde's text to enter the king of Beijing. However, Dong thieves were defeated, burned Luoyang, robbed the Son of Heaven, and shepherded the people and returned to the west. We are deeply ashamed that we could not save the driver! However, Sun Wentai privately obtained the jade seal of the country and hid it! It's really a big rebellion! The prince is the clan of the Han family, and the jade seal of the country is the thing of today's son, and I hope that the prince will recover it!

After reading it, Liu Biao threw the letter on the ground, rose angrily, and shouted in a deep voice: "Bold traitor, dare to secretly hide the jade seal of the country!" Isn't it deceiving me, no one cares about the Liu family? ”

Kuai Liang bent down to pick up the letter and looked at it, and said, "Don't worry, my lord. When Sun Wentai returns to Changsha, he will definitely pass through the land of Jingzhou. I heard that Sun Wentai was defeated by Yuan Highway and had no food, and more than half of his soldiers were killed and wounded, and his subordinates were only 5,000 at present. There is a plan to get rid of Sun Jian! ”

"What do you plan? Come on. Liu Biao asked.

"Sun Jian will go to Jingling, and the lord can send more than 10,000 troops to intercept Sun Jian in Jingling." Kuai Liang said.

Liu Biao followed his words, made Kuai Yue a general, and Cai Mao a deputy general, and led more than 10,000 troops to Jingling to intercept Sun Jian. He took Kuai Liang, Tan Fu, Fan Fan and others with Kuai Yue and Cai Mao.

Within a few days, Sun Jian led the army.

Kuai Yue and Cai Mao generals lined up in a formation, and they went out first, blocking the way of Sun Jian and others.

Seeing this, Sun Jian had a bad heart; Ran's face was calm, and he asked quietly: "Why did Kuai Yidu lead troops to intercept me?" When Kuai Yue heard this, he laughed: "Sun Wentai don't pretend not to know." You are Hanchen, why do you hide the treasure of the country? If you stay quickly, you should let you go! ”

Sun Jian was exposed to the governor, and he was furious: "You are waiting for death!" Publicly, kill it quickly! ”

Huang Gai was ordered to fight. Cai Mao greeted him with a knife. The two fought in one place, swords and whips facing each other, each with their own strengths. The yellow cover whip is short but heavy, and Cai Mao's knife is long and weak. Huang Gai knew in his heart that the knife was long, and it was not beneficial to him if he was far away. Therefore, as soon as he came up, he rode a horse and pasted Cai Mao. Sure enough, the fight was only more than ten times, and the steel whip in his left hand smashed at Cai Mao on the top of his head; Cai Mao raised his knife to greet him. The whip of his right hand swept down and again; Cai Mao couldn't hide, so she took it with the back heart goggles.

Cai Mao was hit by this blow, where would he have the strength to fight again? Barely with a knife can open a steel whip, turn the horse to the main camp and flee. Sun Jian took advantage of the situation to lead the army to cover the past.

Chased to the mountain pass, but heard the sound of golden drums. A team of people came out from behind the mountain, and the first person was not an outsider, it was Liu Jingsheng, the pastor of Jingzhou.

Sun Jian stepped forward and said, "Why did Jingsheng believe in Yuan Shao's book and persecute Linjunye? ”

Liu Biaoyan said: "A certain is a clan relative of the Han family, and you secretly hide the jade seal of the country, do you want to usurp my Han family?" ”

Sun Jian still swore and swore again: "If there is such a thing, he will die under the sword and arrow!" Seeing that he swore lightly, Liu Biaoyan could believe it, and stopped it: "You don't want to swear!" If thou wilt thou hearest me, thou shalt open the baggage of the army and let me search it. ”

Seeing that he couldn't deceive the past, Sun Jian became angry, pointed at Liu Biao with an ancient ingot knife, and scolded: "You are hiding the national seal under the pretense of hiding the national seal, but you are searching for our army!" How powerful are you to underestimate me? After speaking, it was convenient to lead the troops to engage Liu Biao.

But seeing Liu Biao lead the army to retreat.

Sun Jian does not suspect fraud, but none of the generals under his command are wise and resourceful, and they do not suspect fraud. Therefore, he led the army forward and chased Liu Biao. As soon as the whole army entered the valley, they saw that the ambush was exhausted after the two mountains, and Cai Mao and Kuai Yue led troops to rush over, trapping Sun Jian, Huang Gai and other three generals and thousands of soldiers in Changsha.

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang are brave, how can they be defeated by Kuai Yue and Cai Mao? He was besieged by Liu Biao's army, but Sun Jian still escaped from the trap under the desperate rescue of the three generals, and fled back to Jiangdong.

There is a saying:

The jade seal is useless, but the treasure uses the sword soldiers.

Yuan Shao couldn't make a plan, and passed a letter to Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou.

After holding the Han clan relatives, set up the ambush Jingling according to the Wentai.

Fortunately, Jingsheng was incompetent, and Wentai got out of trouble and returned to Jiangdong.
