(49) Liu Xuande Wuxi was ambushed, and Zhao Zilong assisted in leading the armies
In the first year of Emperor Guangxi of the Han Dynasty, the Wuhuan leader Tatun took advantage of the new death of Emperor Ling, and the Han court was turbulent and unstable, united with the Xiliang warlord Dong Zhuo as the internal response, with the generals Kanwen and Furoji as the vanguard, Tatun led an army of 80,000 with the assistance of the mysterious military division, led by Chixing 300 elites disguised as caravans, and used the documents in the hands of the mysterious military division to deceive the defenders of Ma Ming Pass, the northern fortress of Youzhou, and the three thousand white horse Yi Cong of Youzhou who stayed in Ma Ming Pass in one fell swoop.

A blow to the hit, the ambitious Ton on the hour of the military horse is ready to take advantage of the victory to attack Changhua, Changhua County has no danger to defend, in order to win the time for the people to retreat, the white horse general Gongsun Chan personally led the 9,000 white horse Yi from the waist to intercept the Wuhuan army, this battle is quite tragic, 9,000 white horse Yi from the 6,000 killed and the remaining 3,000 remnants of the army were also killed on the way to evacuate, Gongsun Chan only led more than ten cavalry to retreat into Muyang City, Taton accepted the proposal of the military division, changed the direction of attack and chased Gongsun Chan into Muyang City, Youzhou, which had just gotten rid of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, fell into the war again for a while.
When the moon passed midnight, nearly 10,000 imperial soldiers and horses in the lush mountains and forests quietly advanced rapidly in the direction of Muyang City under the cover of night and woodland. Under the light of the moon, the long hair fluttering in the wind under the jaw of a military general at the forefront of the team is particularly eye-catching, and this person is Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, the sworn brother of Liu Xuande, the newly appointed military captain of Youzhou Wing. Three days ago, Liu Bei's three brothers led the army back to Youzhou, and Liu Xuande heard that his senior brother Gongsun Zhan, the general of the White Horse, was defeated and trapped in Muyang City, and immediately asked Liu Yu to command the army.
Because the impact of the consecutive defeats on himself was too bad, Liu Yu also wanted to win a battle before the arrival of Lu Bu's army to save some face, so he watched the generals and colonels, except for Gongsun Zhan, the most outstanding was the three brothers Liu Bei who performed abnormally in the battle to pacify the Yellow Turban. So Liu Yu, who was eager to make meritorious service, immediately agreed to Liu Bei's request without thinking, and at the same time dispatched his subordinates to send his generals Yan Gang, Tian Kai and Gongsun Zhan's brother Gongsun Yue to each four armies and horses with nearly 10,000 troops and troops to immediately go to Muyang City.
"Big brother, our brothers are beautiful enough this time." Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei's side and said a little proudly, "You have just joined the army for less than a year, and you can command tens of thousands of troops to fight, big brother, you are really a young talent, a hero at that time!" Haha, happy. Looking at Gongsun Yue, Yan Gang and Tian Kai beside him, Liu Bei couldn't help but stick out his tongue in embarrassment, although he was the coach in this battle, but if he was selected according to seniority, he could crush himself if he chose one of the three people in front of him according to his experience. Obviously, Zhang Fei just sighed that his young talent at that time hero's words caused the three of them to be a little dissatisfied, looking at the faces of the three of them covered with dark clouds, Liu Bei hurriedly ordered Zhang Fei to rush to the front army to replace Guan Yu, and he immediately compensated the three after Zhang Fei left: "Yide is vulgar, if you offend, I hope the three generals will forgive me." "Why did Liu Bei avoid Zhang Fei? Because he knew that if the third brother with a fiery temperament saw that he was so groveling to apologize to others but still didn't get a good face, he would definitely be furious and wield a snake spear to stab a hundred transparent holes in others.
"The general doesn't have to be polite." The disdainful expressions of the three were expected by Liu Bei, only to see the three of them glance at each other, Gongsun Yue hugged his fists and said, "When the Yellow Turban was pacified the previous time, the three brothers of the general showed their might, and this time they were fortunate to serve under the general, and I hope that the general will cooperate with the two righteous brothers to show their skills, so that I can see the style of the general's prancing horse and horizontal knife on the battlefield again!" This is half an encouragement and half a sarcastic remark, and if someone else else has already taken the case, Liu Bei knows that the current enemy must not be chaotic because of a momentary mood, so Liu Bei will be patient with the unreasonableness of the two for the time being, and everyone will have nothing to say all the way.
At this time, a few miles away, Lu Bu's army has also arrived at the predetermined battlefield, in order to deal with Jia Xu, the first strong opponent encountered since the crossing, Lu Bu has been forgetting to sleep and eat for several days, and Xun You and Chen Gong have carefully discussed the plan against the enemy and rehearsed Jia Xu's possible killing moves, and the generals who saw Lu Bu so nervous for the first time naturally did not dare to be careless, and all the soldiers along the way were in a spirit of 120,000 to strictly prevent the enemy from sneaking attack. After a few days, Lu Bu found a very headache, this problem was something he had realized a long time ago but had been delayed because of many things and had not been able to solve it, that is, the proportion of military generals under his command was seriously out of balance.
"General, there are two roads leading to Muyang City, one is to take Langshan Mountain, and the other is to take Wuxi Canyon." Xun You pointed to the map and said, "The road to Langshan is half a day longer than the Wuxi Canyon, but the road is flat, and the Wuxi Canyon is close but the mountains are steep, which is conducive to ambush." "At present, the generals of the Bingzhou Army, except for Zhao Yun who led the team to inspect the battalions, all gathered in the camp tent, because as early as in Xiliang, everyone had seen Ruonan's talent and insight, so the future general's wife was also invited by Lu Bu to discuss the matter, and the others frowned and thought about it, it was obvious that this was a multiple-choice question, and after thinking for a long time, the most brainless Cao Xuan suddenly spoke: "General, you said that if you set up an ambush in both places, what should you do?" As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately burst into laughter, and Yuan Ruonan, who had been sitting on the side, couldn't help but laugh with his sleeve covering his cheek on the table and "giggling".
Lu Bu shook his head, stepped forward and knocked Cao Xing's head: "You, do you know why everyone laughs at you?" Speaking without thinking, there are only 80,000 soldiers and horses in the Tatun Department and all of them are concentrated in Muyang City, that Gongsun Chan with 9,000 white horses and righteous servants dared to intercept the Tatun army and successfully blocked them for a day and a night to win time for the evacuation of the people of Changhua, which shows that this person is brave and extraordinary, not to mention that there are still 30,000 defenders in Muyang City with high morale, and the troops of Tatun are already stretched thin, if they dare to go out in three ways, maybe that Gongsun Chan will take the opportunity to fight. As soon as these words came out, Cao Xuan couldn't help but shake his head in embarrassment, and said with a red face: "In the future, this brain-moving matter will be handed over to you, I will still honestly dance with a knife and a gun!" Chen Gong looked at Cao Xuan with a smile, turned to Zhang He and said, "General Junyi, what do you think?" At this time, Zhang He, Zhu Ling, and Tai Shici, who were newly recruited in Jizhou, and Tai Shici, who were recruited by Beihai, were already familiar with the original generals in Jizhou, and everyone greeted each other no longer as strange as they were at the beginning.
Zhang He thought for a moment, then turned around and replied, "General, two gentlemen, you think it's better to go to Wuxi Canyon. "Oh?" Chen Gong, who had already made a bamboo in his chest, asked with a smile: "But why?" Zhang He continued: "Our merger state army is known for its bravery, and in the eyes of outsiders, we will definitely regard our state army as a killing machine that only relies on brute force and does not know how to change, so the enemy army expects that we will not go to such a steep place as Wuxi Gorge, but ......" Just as he was saying this, the scout outside the tent suddenly came to report: "Report to the generals, twenty miles away in the direction of Wuxi Gorge, there is a court army that has been ambushed by the Tatun army. This information hit Zhang He's face like a loud slap, and Zhang He obediently closed his mouth and didn't say anything more. Lu Bu, who had already discussed with Xun You and Chen Gong, was worried that Zhang He would be frustrated by this embarrassment, so he hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege and said: "You don't have to blame yourself, in fact, after many discussions, the two gentlemen and I have come to the conclusion that Tatun will go the opposite way and fortify in Wuxi Canyon, and in order to meet the generals, we must carefully consider all possibilities as much as possible, so as to maximize our own invincible position." ”
Speaking of this, Lu Bu sincerely realized the sentence that one person counts short and two people count long, hehe, even if you Jia Xu is talented and wise, you are also a good man who can't stand the number of people, it seems that this first encounter is a step ahead of me and the state military chess. Thinking of this, Lu Bu hurriedly ordered: "Order the army to immediately pull out and bypass Muyang City and continue to go north according to the original plan, and order Zilong to lead the army and horses of the headquarters to rescue the friendly army, and then play the banner of this general and unite the armies of Youzhou to contain the main force of Tadun, and we must not let Tatun discover our true intentions." "After all, people have been substitutes for themselves, and it is not good for them not to see death without saving them, according to the original plan, they should indeed send a suspicious soldier to attract the attention of Tadun, this team is led by Zhao Yun, and it is expected that Tatun, who is poor in donkey skills, will not be so difficult to deal with.
Wuxi Gorge, at this time, nearly 10,000 imperial army and 20,000 Wuhuan cavalry started a fight.
Looking at the red-eyed Wuhuan cavalry in the canyon, Jia Xu hated that iron and steel kept clapping his hands: I let them ambush this group of useless things, not let them confront the enemy head-on. It turned out that after Jia Xu gave the order to attack, the Wuhuan cavalry who were ambushed around the mountains and forests did not kill and injure the enemy with the rolling wood and stones prepared in advance according to Jia Xu's deployment. Seeing this scene, Jia Xu was so angry that he almost vomited blood: Do these stupid people have no brains? Fighting the enemy in the canyon, even if you win, it will only hurt 10,000 enemies and lose 8,000 yourself!
At the moment when the shouts of killing sounded all around, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and felt that he might have to confess here today. Unexpectedly, this group of Wuhuan people with flawed heads actually gave up such a favorable terrain and rushed down to confront themselves head-to-head. As we all know, the war cavalry of the Wuhuan people is extremely fierce, but in such a narrow mountain, the Wuhuan cavalry tightly equipped with swords and spears can not take any advantage at all, and the tall war horses often block the passage so that the large army horses behind them can not exert their might, in contrast, the imperial army that is inferior in numbers relies on complete equipment, bows and arrows, spears and closely cooperates with the army, and the neat army is listed in a neat military formation, under the leadership of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two fierce generals, unhurriedly launched a counterattack against the enemy.
In the shadow of the sword and sword, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei abandoned their horses and fought on foot, but when they saw the Qinglong Yanyue knife flying up and down, all those who stood in the way fell to the ground without exception; The eight snake spears stabbed left and right, and those who dared to resist were stabbed out of countless holes regardless of the old and weak. Guan Yu defended the left flank with a knife, Zhang Fei covered the right flank with a snake spear, the two righteous brothers were back to back, regardless of whether the enemy in front of them could hurt themselves, and specifically attacked the enemy in front of each other, the two kept spinning and advancing, the green battle robe and the ink-colored armor formed a black and a green whirlwind under the moonlight and rushed unstoppably towards the enemy formation, but whenever Guan Yu raised the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and cut the enemy on the horse off the horse, Zhang Fei would immediately step forward to block the Wuhuan cavalry that was approaching, under the cover of countless arrow rain behind him, In this way, the two tacitly agreed in front of the Wuhuan cavalry to rush back and forth as if they had entered a no-man's land.
"Pingdong General Lu Bu's general Changshan Zhao Zilong is here, and the traitors still don't disarm and surrender?" Jia Xu was about to mobilize the troops on the periphery to return to the enemy's rear and attack in two directions, when he suddenly heard a shout not far away. Frightened, Jia Xu turned his head to look and found that a large number of officers and soldiers had come up from behind him, only to see a young general in silver armor and silver armor dancing the Gentian Yajiao gun and stabbing the guards around him to the ground. Before leaving, Jia Xu carefully understood the information of the generals of the Bingzhou Army, and he knew that in addition to Lu Bu, in addition to Lu Bu in the Bingzhou Army, there was also a general whose martial arts were not comparable to Lu Bu, that is, Changshan Zhao Zilong, who had once been in charge of the Bingzhou Army during Lu Bu's wounded and broke the Xiliang rebel army, it is said that Lu Bu and Zhao Yun were inseparable, and now Zhao Yun rushed to his side, thinking that Lu Bu was about to arrive. Seeing Jia Xu's serious expression, the Wuhuan general next to him, Chixing, raised his long knife in front of Jia Xu and said, "Sir, quickly organize the evacuation of the army, and I will stop this person." As he spoke, he rushed towards Zhao Yun with a long knife brandishing his long knife without waiting for Jia Xu to speak.
"Wuhuan General Chixing is here, and the Nanban children are going to be arrogant!" Chixing howled and slashed at Zhao Yun. Along the way, the tragic situation of the people of Youzhou after being slaughtered by the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry made the officers and soldiers of the Bingzhou Army extremely indignant, which naturally included Zhao Yun, who was the second person in the Bingzhou Army. Seeing Chixing rushing towards him without knowing whether he was alive or dead, Zhao Yun sneered contemptuously, and condensed all his hatred on the Gentian Yajiao Spear in his hand, facing the oncoming long knife Zhao Yun did not dodge at all, and with a flick of his wrist, everyone saw a white lightning rush towards Chixing's chest. At this time, Liu Bei happened to rush up with a group of personal soldiers, and just when he heard a miserable scream from this companion, Liu Bei saw a handsome young general with a silver spear and single-handed Chixing in the air.
"Strongman, what a martial artist!" Liu Bei was impressed by Zhao Yun's martial arts, and saw that his bravery was no less than that of Yun Chang and Yide, and he suddenly had the idea of recruiting Zhao Yun, so he clapped his hands and praised, "Liu Bei of Zhuojun has the word Xuande, I have seen the general, dare to ask the general's surname?" After Zhao Yun killed the remnants of the Wuhuan army, he and Liu Bei joined forces and bowed to Liu Bei and said: "In Xiachangshan, Zhao Zilong is now serving under the command of Lu Bu, the general of Pingdong in Bingzhou, and he is the new general of Fenwei, and Lu Bu, the general of Pingdong, is the brother of Xia. Liu Bei obviously felt Zhao Yun's admiration inadvertently when mentioning Lu Bu and the pride when he said that he was Lu Bu's brother, it seems that the relationship between the two is extraordinary. Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh secretly: It seems that there is no hope for this world-class hero to be brought under his command.
Zhao Yun didn't know that you Liu Bei had so many thoughts, as early as before leaving, Lu Bu said to Zhao Yun that there was no need to be polite to them after saving the Youzhou military horses, because Zhao Yun had the highest status among the generals present, and he was worried that these enemy generals would bully Zhao Yun as a humble person, Lu Bu specially gave Zhao Yun the Jieyue personally given by Emperor Shaodi of the Han Dynasty, and told him that this thing has the right to cut first and then play, and whoever dares to be presumptuous does not have to show mercy. Therefore, Zhao Yun and Zhao Yun dared to give orders boldly and confidently: "General Liu, General Lao Fu cooperated with General Ben to immediately contain the remnants of the army, and Ben General has the next plan." Knowing that the relationship between Lu Bu and Zhao Yun was not ordinary, Liu Bei didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly nodded and promised, and took his subordinates to retreat down the mountain to contain the remnants of the army.
In the camp of Tatun outside Muyang City, when the leader of Wuhuan saw the disgraced Jia Xu and the bloodstained 6,000 remnants of the army, his originally passionate heart suddenly cooled.
"What's going on, sir?" Ta Dun changed his enthusiastic attitude in the past, and asked Jia Xu with a cold face: "Sir, doesn't you guarantee that you can completely annihilate the reinforcements of the Han Dynasty?" In the eyes of Tadton, Jia Xu is just a tool he uses to attack Youzhou, and the reason why he is so polite to him is because under Jia Xu's planning, he has won two great victories in Ma Mingguan and Changhua in a row. Now that Jia Xuqian's donkey skills are poor and he has suffered defeat, Tatun will naturally not give him a good face. Jia Xu is so smart, he knows that at this time, he must not tell the truth to Tatun, because once he says it, Tatun will think that he can discredit the Wuhuan army in order to shirk his responsibility, so he had to hug his fists and said: "Report to the general, there was no problem in this battle, but I didn't expect the second reinforcement of the imperial court to arrive at the critical moment, and our army was caught off guard by the two armies that fought together, which led to defeat." However, the enemy army did not take advantage of anything, and now they have lost more than half of their casualties. "If you want to say that Jia Xu has this grievance in his heart at the moment, it was originally your troops who did not obey the order and acted without authorization, which led to the failure of the plan, but now you have to let yourself carry this black cauldron, where can you talk about this truth?
After all, now that the two sides are fighting fiercely, Jia Xu's own talent also makes Taton admire, so he didn't embarrass Jia Xu too much, but just let Jia Xu stand up after a little reprimand. Raising his head and drinking a glass of spirits, he finally suppressed the anger in his heart, and before he could open his mouth, the scout outside the door sent another bad news: "Report to the general, Ma Ming Pass was captured by the enemy an hour ago!" ”
"What!" He slammed the glass on the ground.
