Chapter 184 plotted the layout of Chen Palace in Yuzhou, and set up an ambush in Luyang and Huangzhong

Let's say that Liu Bei knows that Han Hao and Lei Bo are both famous generals, and they are capable of both civil and military talents, so they are not as good as Zhang Liao and Zang Ba, and they are also good generals who guard a county.

After receiving Lei Bo's allegiance, he asked Chen Gong for advice.

Chen Gong said with a smile: "I know that the lord loves talents, so I let Yingjie intercept him." Han Hao is an indispensable defender under Yuan Highway, and is as famous as Lei Bo and Li Tong. It was these three people in Yuzhou that Yuan Highway dared to raise the seal and claim the emperor! Now, Li Tong only used 10,000 soldiers and horses to base Cao Cao outside Runan City for more than half a month, which shows his merits! ”

Lei Zihou understood the righteousness, so he sent Liang Gang to vote. But I don't know if Han Hao will vote for me! Liu Bei had no confidence in his heart.

"Let Hua Yingjie sharpen his spirit, and the lord will be moved by emotion. I thought that the Lord could get this! Chen Gong said.

Therefore, Liu Bei raised troops to attack, set up Han Hao's weapons, moved with affection, and understood with reason.

Han Hao was moved, but he couldn't get over it on his face, and he still stubbornly spoke.

But at this moment, Lei Bo led his troops and horses to come and shouted loudly: "Yuan Hei, why are you deceived? General Zuo is the uncle of the current Holy Emperor, and he is the orthodoxy of the Han family, why not quickly abandon the dark and turn to the light? ”

Seeing that Lei Bo had already surrendered, he followed the steps given by Liu Bei, went down the slope, ordered the soldiers to put down their weapons, and then surrendered to Liu Bei.

This time he won a complete victory, Liu Bei settled in Anfengjin and set up a banquet to reward the whole army.

Lei Bo, Han Hao, Liang Gang, Han Rong and others all knelt in front of Liu Zhizhi: "Meet the lord." ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed and made him stand up: "Everyone, please be exempt." Today's participation is a blessing for the world and the people! Thou shalt be rewarded for thy great deeds. Saying that, make Lei Bo and Han Hao the incisor generals, and make Liang Gang and Han Rong the generals, and each lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters.

Lei Bo, Han Hao and others were all grateful and full of joy.

During the banquet, everyone drank freely, staggered, so unhappy!

In the middle of the day, a letter suddenly came: "Report! Urgent war report! ”

Before the voice fell, a fast horse spy rushed in and knelt down in the middle with a pop: "Lord Qi, Yuzhou battle report." ”

"Yuzhou war report?! Cao Cao's soldiers and horses defeated Li Tong and captured Runan? Liu Bei asked in surprise. After all, Cao Cao commanded more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and it was only a matter of time before he captured Runan.

"Returning to the lord, Li Tong, the general of Runan, opened the city gate and surrendered to Cao Cao! After a three-day rest, Cao's army will march eastward. Tanma said hurriedly.

"What? Li Tong surrendered to Cao Cao? Lei Bo and Han Hao were shocked.

For Li Tong, the two are no longer familiar with each other. Once Li Tong surrenders, then Cao Cao's capture of all parts of the Liang State will be just around the corner! After all, those places are all places under Li Tong's jurisdiction, and those generals will do whatever they want!

Lei Bo came out of the queue and said to Liu Bei: "My lord, Li Tong will return to Cao Cao, and all the lands in Yuzhou will belong to Cao Cao." ”

Han Hao then also said: "All over Runan, Li Tong is quite prestigious. And the thirty-seven counties of Runan will not be all in the day! ”

After hearing this, Liu Bei looked at Chen Gong and asked, "Cao thief took advantage of my army to attack Yuan Highway and raised troops to seize several counties in Runan. It's really infuriating to me! Gongtai, can you have a plan to teach me? ”

Chen Gong looked at Lei Bo and Han Hao, and said with a smile: "Two generals, it seems that you have to work hard!" ”

"I am willing to go to the soup for the lord, and I will not give up!" The two of them pulled up their robes and armor in one hand and knelt in the middle to show their determination.

Liu Bei stood up with a smile, helped the two of them, and asked Chen Gong: "Gongtai, do you want the two of them to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters back?" ”

"Just as the lord said. As far as I know, the counties ruled by General Lei and General Han are all in Anfeng and Yiyang counties. Today, most of Yuzhou has entered Cao Cao's bag, and only Anfeng and Yiyang remain. It can make the two generals quickly go to the north bank of the Huai River to block Cao Mengde's eastward advance! Remember to only defend, not attack! Chen Gong admonished.

Liu Bei knew what Chen Gong meant, and sent the two of them just to block Cao's eastward advance, and advised: "Cao Mengde is quite good at marching and fighting, and Guo Fengxiao is helping him. The two generals can block the enemy according to the terrain, deal with it carefully! Ten days later, if Cao's army does not retreat, you can lead your troops and horses to retreat into Yingshang and Anfengjin to defend it. ”

"My subordinates have written it down!" The two replied.

Liu Bei also instructed them to send all their families to Xuzhou to settle down, so as to eliminate worries.

Lei Bo, Han Hao and others went down to prepare.

Chen Gong offered Liu Bei another advice: "What happened to the battle between the Black Mountain Army and Yuan Shao?" If it doesn't work, there is only a dangerous move to make Yuan Zhi and Yide send troops to attack Yanzhou. ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Sending troops to be nameless, won't you fall into the mouth?" ”

Chen Gong suddenly thought of something, and said mysteriously: "Lord, if there is something that can be done, you will definitely be able to find the name of the soldier!" ”

"What?" Liu Bei asked puzzled.

Chen Gong asked, "Does the lord remember that the third general once captured a daughter of the Xiahou clan?" ”

"Remember this!"

"The three generals are quite affectionate for this woman, and have asked the lord to marry this woman many times!"

"It is true! I wanted to do this for him before I sent my troops. I can't ask where this woman comes from! ”

"Actually, I know who this woman is!"

"I hope Mr. will tell me clearly." As soon as he heard that Chen Gong knew, Liu Bei was overjoyed, holding him with both hands, his eyes full of longing.

Chen Gong smiled and replied: "Lord, this daughter is the niece of Xiahou Yuan Xiahou Miaocai, a general under Cao Mengde, and she is also an adopted daughter. Her parents died when she was a child, and she was raised by Xiahou Miaocai. Therefore, he is quite close to the sons of the Xiahou family. ”

"Huh?!" When Liu Bei heard this, he was quite shocked and asked, "What does this have to do with sending troops?" ”

Chen Gong stretched out his hand and stroked the beard under his chin, and said: "Xiahou Miaocai has followed Cao Cao into Runan, and only the second son Xiahou Ba is left in his mansion. According to rumors, Xiahou Ba is tyrannical by nature, but he has the deepest relationship with Xiahou Nu. The lord only needs to order the three generals to send envoys to submit the letter, and then Xiahou Ba will definitely be furious, afraid that he will kill the person who submits the letter. His move will definitely anger the three generals, and at that time, will he not be famous for sending troops? ”

"Knowing that I am going to die, how can I bear it? That's it, that's it! Liu Bei shook his head and turned around silently.

Chen Gong knew that Liu Bei was kind, so he retreated, but he quietly sent a letter to Xu Shu, naming the matter......

The next day, Lei Bo, Han Hao, Liang Gang, Liang Mao, Yan Xiang, Han Rong and others led 30,000 troops and horses straight to the direction of Anfeng County, blocking Cao Cao's eastward advance, waving the flag, and the words Liu Bei, the general of the left, were written on it.

Chen Gong clearly explained to everyone that General Zuo's banner must be hung on all cities to inform Cao Cao that these cities had taken refuge in General Zuo.

Sending Lei Bo and the others away, Liu Bei discussed with the generals to attack Ji Ling, who retreated to Luyang.

Capture Luyang, followed by Yuan Shu's base camp - Shouchun, the capital of the puppet Qi State.

Incisor General Huang Zhong asked for battle: "Along the way, General Hua has won several battles, but there has not been a battle. I hope the Lord will give me a certain battle! ”

Among the generals under Liu Bei, Huang Zhong's martial arts can be regarded as one of the best. It's just that he is calm by nature, never shows off, and occasionally competes with Guan Gong, and he is up to the point.

Since Guan Gong retired from Ji Ling, his divine shot made him famous, and the rest was never known.

If Liu Bei hadn't been serious, I'm afraid he would only be a lieutenant by now.

Seeing Huang Zhong asking for battle, Liu Bei nodded and said, "The old general has always been calm, but recently he has been frequently asking for battle. I have to promise! Today, I asked the old general to lead 3,000 pikemen and 5,000 light bow and knife infantry to attack Luyang. ”

"Thank you, Lord!" Huang Zhong lifted his armor and kowtowed, thanked Liu Bei, took the arrow of the troop transfer order, and turned to leave.

Picking up the troops and horses, Huang Zhong and the deputy general Wei Yan left the camp and went straight to the direction of Luyang City.

During the march, Wei Yan said to Huang Zhong: "Brother Hansheng, the enemy army has been newly defeated, and the soldiers and horses have suffered serious losses. According to the soldier, Ji Ling led more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 15,000 prisoners were captured in the last battle, and more than 20,000 enemy soldiers were killed. I asked Han Hao about the loss of soldiers and horses, and there were about 8,000 people. In this way, Ji Ling's loss of soldiers and horses should exceed 20,000. Then now there should be about 20,000 soldiers and horses in Luyang City! “

"Brother, really work hard, and inquire about these things so clearly!" Huang Zhong listened to him and said with emotion.

Wei Yan smiled and said, "I knew that my brother hadn't fought a few serious battles along the way, and he would definitely ask the lord for war this time, so he put some thought into it in advance!" ”

"Virtuous brother, as the saying goes: know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. At present, we can be regarded as knowing the strength of the enemy's troops, but we do not yet know the deployment of their troops. Moreover, the enemy army is defending the city, and it is not easy for our army to attack! Huang Zhongyan said.

"Brother, don't you have an idea?" Wei Yan saw that Huang Zhong's frowning brows suddenly relaxed, and asked curiously.

Huang Zhong smiled, changed his face just now, and said: "Our army does not have many troops, so we should win by surprise." Thou shalt remember that there was a breezy battlement not far from here—and there was a long and narrow forest road, and it was not a place for ambush? And you are young, and you have never met Ji Ling, so you can lead three thousand pikemen to the front of the city to fight. Lure him to come, and I will shoot him! ”

"Good! Naturally, I remember that place. Wei Yan said and pointed ahead, "Turn around from there, and you'll be there!" ”

As he spoke, the soldiers and horses marched there.

This place is called the Breeze Battlement because it is overgrown with jungle bushes, and the passage is like a corridor through the bushes.

Huang Zhong with 5,000 light bow and sword infantry scattered around the battlement, covered by shrubs, even if there were birds and beasts, it seemed that it was difficult to find. Sure enough, it's a good place to ambush.

Seeing that Huang Zhong and the others were hiding, Wei Yan said: "My brother will ambush here, and wait for a certain person to lure that Ji Ling to come!" After speaking, he took three thousand cavalry and went straight to Luyang City.

It has been a day and a night since he arrived in Luyang, and Ji Ling has just rested, and he is discussing countermeasures with Chen Lan, Chen Ji, and Le.

Suddenly, the guards on the city tower came to report: "General Qiyu, there is a young general outside the city, claiming to be Wei Yan, a partial general under the command of General Liu Bei, and he keeps saying that he wants to fight with the general!" ”

"Wei Yan? Haven't heard of it. Ji Ling shook his head, wondering in his heart, the unknown young general actually came to challenge the old man? Do you really think the old man is a bully?

Le said: "General, why don't you wait for someone to go out and meet him for a while?" ”

But I don't know how Ji Ling will treat this matter, and let's look at the next chapter......
