In the fifth year of Yongjia, at the beginning of June, a gust of wind blew, rolling the fallen leaves in the sky, the weather suddenly turned cold, the northwest horizon, the clouds were brewing, it seemed that the first rainstorm in Xuzhou in summer was not far away.

Riding wildly, he came towards Pengcheng, breaking the ancient city in silence.

At this time, the Assassin's Mansion has become the temporary headquarters of the Xuzhou Army, and generals at all levels in Xuzhou, such as Zu Ti, Wei Shuo, Zu Yue, Zu Gai, Cao Hong, and Zhang Erlang, are gathering together.

Zhang Erlang laughed loudly: "General Zu, Brother Wei, in the past few days, Brother Zu and I took only one hundred cavalry to eliminate three groups of Hu people rangers, killing more than 20 enemy cavalry in total, and rescuing more than 300 civilians on the way. ”

"I learned from the prisoners that Zhao Dan, the enemy's forward general, led 3,000 Hu cavalry to the west bank of the upper reaches of Weishan Lake yesterday, and took Guangqi County, and is advancing towards Liuxian, less than 90 kilometers away from our Pengcheng."

"The arrogance of the Hu people is very arrogant, and the rangers of less than ten people dare to show off their might everywhere and go deep into the inland of my Xuzhou, which really doesn't take us into account at all!"

Wei Shuo and Zu Ti looked at each other and smiled when they heard this, wasn't this exactly what they were looking forward to? As long as the enemy continues to be careless, a good opportunity to annihilate the enemy will appear. In order to arouse the anger of the enemy, Zu Ti and Wei Shuo sent the only 100 cavalry under their command to take turns to sneak attack and hunt the enemy's rangers.

"Our real purpose in harassing the enemy is to lure the enemy south, and then enter our ambush circle and inflict heavy losses on the enemy. Now it seems that the time is almost ripe, guard Cao, do you think we will give the enemy a little more sweetness? Zu Ti said excitedly.

Wei Shuo also felt that it was time to lure the enemy deeper, and this time he cooperated with Zu Ti to jointly command the Xuzhou army to resist the invasion of the Hu people, and under normal circumstances, he did not interfere with Zu Ti's command. It's not that Wei Shuo is timid and doesn't dare to take responsibility, but he is self-aware, whether in modern times or in ancient times, Wei Shuo has never experienced war.

In the confrontation between the two armies, Wei Shuo is definitely not as good as the experienced Zu Ti. Under normal circumstances, Wei Shuo just relied on a richer knowledge reserve than the people of this era to provide Zu Ti with some whimsical advice.

"Well, I also think it's time for the Zuna brothers to set off, but this battle is only allowed to be defeated and not won!" Zu Ti told his brother very seriously that whether he could successfully lure the enemy forward to the south depended on Zuna's action to lure the enemy this time.

"Now my only worry is Sima Ao, this person knows that I am Xuzhou and the truth, and there are still many of his old and confidants in this Pengcheng, which is a big trouble for my Xuzhou henchmen!" Zu Ti said, glanced at Wei Shuo, and knew that Wei Shuo had a brief confrontation with Sima Ao, and knew each other better than him.

Wei Shuo smiled and comforted: "General Zu doesn't have to worry too much about this person, although Sima Ao is thoughtful and deep, his ambition is too strong, and it is beyond the scope of his own ability. In the following opinion, his two new masters may not dare to trust him all. ”

"Just look at the southward trip to Xuzhou this time, Wang Sang and Zhao Gu firmly took him with them, but they never let him lead a single soldier alone, which is very revealing."

"So Sima Ao may not be able to play his full role in the enemy's camp, to put it bluntly, he is the dog raised by Wang Sang and Zhao Gu, but this dog is not very honest, if he uses it well, he may be able to bite the enemy back."

Zu Ti's spirit was shocked, and he stared at Wei Shuo with bright eyes: "Brother Wei plans to use a discordant plan? ”

Wei Shuo nodded slightly and said, "I have some ideas in my mind, but the time is not yet ripe, and when the time comes, I have my own clever plan." ”

At the same time, less than three miles away from Liuxian, Zhao Dan, the enemy's forward general, was staying here with 3,000 cavalry. Zhao Dan glanced at his subordinates below and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the two generals Wang and Zhao have come with a new general order, so that we must take Liuxian before sunset, so as to clear the obstacles for the army behind to go to Pengcheng." ”

"I am willing to die for the general!"

As soon as the words fell, a burst of cheers immediately sounded all around, over the years, with the Xiongnu Han State successive battles, the morale of the Xiongnu Han army has become higher and higher, especially in the face of the Western Jin Dynasty army, it has taken a psychological advantage.

This time in the south of Xuzhou, under the flickering of Sima Ao, from Zhao Gu and Wang Sang down, the entire army was filled with a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and even some soldiers regarded this march as an outing.

In order to take revenge on Pei Dun, Wei Shuo and others, he tried his best to belittle the strength of Xuzhou in front of Wang Sang and Zhao Gu, especially pointing out that the soldiers who served as Xuzhou's defense at this time were all newcomers who had just been recruited. Although these are all facts, he has concealed important information that Wei Shuo is good at training. Sima Ao's greatest hope is that Hu Ren will fight to the death with Pei Dun and Wei Shuo, and then he will reap the benefits of the fisherman.

After the enemy's vanguard army arrived in Liuxian, they found that the gate of Liuxian was wide open, but the city was empty. Zhao Dan was cautious and did not venture into the city, but only sent scouts to investigate.

After a while, the scout ran back happily, and he told Zhao Dan in a contemptuous tone: "General, the Jin people in the city have all run out, and some people haven't even had time to pack up their property. Moreover, on both sides of the streets in the city, there were weapons and flags dropped by the Jin army when they left. ”

"Hahaha......"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably when they heard this, at this time their contempt for the Jin army in Xuzhou reached its peak, no one cared about the few rangers who disappeared from the 'innocent', and no one thought that this was a flaw deliberately left by the Jin army, everyone thought that the Jin army was frightened by their 'tiger might'.

A few cavalrymen even laughed so hard that even Zhao Dan couldn't help but say: "I thought there would be a fight, but I didn't expect the Jin army to be so cowardly that they fled from the wind." Well, since the enemy has fled, you should follow the general into the city! ”

Zhao Dan successfully entered Liuxian, but he didn't notice that in the dense forest outside the city, there were several pairs of eyes staring at him without blinking. These people were scouts sent by Wei Shuo and Zu Ti, who were responsible for monitoring the enemy's every move.

Knowing that the enemy striker had successfully entered Liuxian, Zuna, who had come to lure the enemy on the order of Zu Ti, waved his fist excitedly and quickly conveyed a new order to his subordinates: "Let the brothers have something to eat and rest, and in two hours, when it is dark, we will set off." ”

"No!" The herald turned away.

A few hours later, the enemy soldiers, who had just eaten and drunk, found a place to sleep. Because the people in the city ran away, Zhao Dan couldn't find a woman, so he had to nest in the room bored. Eh, you said that this Zhao Dan is too, he can fall asleep when he lies down after doing things with women on weekdays, but he can't sleep today anyway.

Annoyed, Zhao Dan couldn't help but come to the courtyard with a saber and danced, and was dancing loudly, when suddenly a herald broke in and shouted: "General, general, general, Jin army, Jin army is coming!" ”

"Whew~! Well? Zhao Dan gasped and asked, "Does the Jin army still have the courage to take the initiative to attack?" ”

"Yes, hundreds of Jin troops have gathered outside the city, shouting under the city, they seem to be complaining that the defenders in the city are running too fast, so that reinforcements are late."

Zhao Dan sneered when he heard this, and said: "Even if the defenders don't run, plus these hundreds of reinforcements, what flowers can they turn out in the face of our army?" However, it just so happens that General Ben is bored, and since someone has sent it to the door, it can't be missed! The general order: Gather the army and go out of the city with the general to kill the enemy. ”

Suddenly, there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the county, and three thousand cavalry came out of the city gate in an uproar. At this time, the Jin army, which was provoking under the city, saw that the city gate was wide open, and the enemy cavalry swarmed out.

This aroused Hu Cai's interest even more, especially Zhao Dan, the enemy forward general who was obviously overenergetic, took the lead, followed closely behind Zuna, and wanted to capture this Jin army officer alive.

Zuna, who was lying on horseback and running away desperately, glanced back at Zhao Dan and couldn't help but scold: "Boy, let you be proud for a while, wait until you enter the ambush circle, and Lao Tzu will clean you up again!" ”

Hundreds of Jin troops who came to lure the enemy came out, except for most of the infantry running towards the lake, mountains and forests, only dozens of cavalry of Zu Yue relied on their horses to run desperately on the main road, followed by a large number of Hu cavalry in hot pursuit.
