In the second year of Zhongping, June 185 AD.

Qin Cao Yuan led 50,000 Han elite soldiers into the boundary of Youzhou, which is still a considerable distance away from Jixian County.

At this time, Jixian County, the seat of Youzhou governance, was smoking under the blue sky and white sun, and the city wall was damaged, scarred, and bloodstained everywhere.

In the city, the tired Han soldiers looked at the rebel camp in the distance, their faces frightened.

At this time, the rebels had surrounded Jixian on three sides. The scale is 70,000, of which the Han traitor Zhang Ju has 50,000 soldiers, and Karasuma Qiu Li has 20,000 soldiers and horses.

On this day, the rebels did not attack.

On the rebel side, the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Report to the ......, the big thing is not good, Qin Feng, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and the three of them, led by 50,000 Han soldiers and horses, have entered Youzhou."

In the hall, Zhang Ju was wearing a dragon robe and a beaded curtain crown, and after hearing the information, he was shocked, "The imperial court actually sent three people, Qin Cao and Yuan, these three people have swept away the yellow scarf millions, this time they came, what can we do?" ”

Although Zhang Chun felt that his strength was superior, he was also afraid of the reputation of Qin, Cao and Yuan, and immediately said when he heard this: "It is better to withdraw to Beiping County for the time being and wait and see what happens." ”

Qiu Liju, who was dressed in Han army armor, if it weren't for the fluffy "fart curtains" on both sides of the helmet, he really couldn't tell that he was a Karasuma person.

Qiu Liju's slashed Guozi face showed disdain, and said: "Qin Cao and Yuan three, in the face of repeated defeats in the Yellow Turban, if it weren't for Zhang Jiao's three people who were afraid of Huangfu Song's army retreating, would the three of them have a chance to kill Zhang Jiao's three brothers?" Don't be afraid, the three of them are tired from afar, and it is the best time to wipe them out in one go. ”

Zhang Ju's eyes rolled when he heard this, and said, "King, I don't know how to use soldiers?" ”

Qiu Liju smiled indifferently and said: "In the coming day, the two of you can face the reinforcements of the Han Dynasty head-on, and this king will lead the cavalry to attack its two wings, and he will definitely be in chaos, so he will take the opportunity to strangle Ke Ye." ”

Zhang Ju agreed.

In the city, the state council chamber.

In the hall, Liu Zhang's father, Liu Yan, is much older. Looking at the tall and beautiful generals in the hall, he sighed and said, "Bo Jue, this official promoted you to Weimo, and how did you repay this official?" ”

Gongsun Chan was very ashamed. The voice was loud, and he said: "The last general is ashamed, he has failed the high expectations of the adults, and the last general will definitely fight to the death to keep Jixian County." ”

Liu Yan's face was much better when he heard this. Said: "The imperial court has sent reinforcements, they will arrive in a few days, you must be on guard these days, and there must be no mistakes." ”

"Whoa."

After Gongsun Chan returned to the command post, he immediately summoned his subordinate general Yan Gang and his younger brother Gongsun Yue to carefully deploy and guard against the rebels outside the city.

Two days later, Qin Cao Yuan and the three of them led 50,000 soldiers and horses into the territory of Jixian County.

The three of them walked all the way and saw the Youzhou area. Ten villages and nine emptiness, the road is covered with horseshoe prints, and the roadside is full of corpses, apparently killed by the rebels.

Qin Feng was sad, "The people are suffering, and the people are suffering." ”

When Xun Yu heard this, he was very shocked, and hurriedly took out a small notebook and began to record.

Yuan Shao couldn't help but ask, "Wen Ruo, what are you writing?" ”

Xun Yu said respectfully: "This is Qin Zi's quotation. The words of the saints must be recorded and passed on to future generations. ”

Yuan Shao's mouth suddenly opened wide, and his heart said that there is really you. However, he and Cao Cao had to admire Qin Feng's sharp words. Straight to the origin of the world.

After Xun Yu finished recording, he looked at Qin Feng with admiration, just like Mencius Yan looked back at Confucius.

Seeing this, Liu Bei couldn't help but scold, "Qin Zi entered the Luoyang Building, if Xun Wenruo can let out such a look." The official really admired it. ”

The army marched along the road, and after a while, a probe horse came out of the dust, rolled the saddle and dismounted, bowed in front of Yuan Shao's horse, and said: "Qi Yuan Dashuai, this place is less than thirty miles from Jixian County, and the rebels have besieged Jixian County on three sides, and they have not launched an attack for two days. ”

Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Great, order the whole army to speed up the pace and enter Jixian County today." ”

"General, slow." Xun Yu hurriedly said.

Qin Feng's heart moved, and he said to Yuan Shao: "Brother Benchu, if Wen has something to say, why don't you suspend the military horses and take a rest." ”

As a result, Yuan Shao ordered the army to rest on the spot temporarily, and in a few moments, a large tent of the Chinese army that was only for temporary rest was placed.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Shao sat on the tent, Qin Cao sat under the tent, Dian Wei Xu Chu Xunyu stood behind Qin Feng, and it seemed that Liu Bei, a senior officer, stood on both sides in turn. Since Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were only the captain of Liu Bei's personal soldiers, there was no place to attend. Although Dian Wei Xu Chu is also the captain of the personal guard, Qin Feng is the deputy commander, so their status is different.

Yuan Shao asked Xun Yu, "What does Mr. Wen Ruo have to say?" ”

Xun Yu touched his beard and said, "It stands to reason that the rebels heard that our army was about to arrive, and they should step up their siege of the city." But instead he rested for two days, there must be a conspiracy in this. ”

"Is this a conspiracy?" Yuan Shao wondered.

And Qin Feng was convinced, this was because Zhang Ju did not have a powerful military advisor, and Xun Yu had no last resort, which was necessary. He immediately said: "Ben will think that what Wen Ruo said makes sense. Brother-in-law, what do you say? ”

"Huh?" Cao Cao's face darkened, and he said, "I thought it made sense." ”

"The last general thinks it makes sense!" Liu Bei took the initiative to say.

After Qin Feng and the others said it, all the officers said that it made sense.

Yuan Shao is scheming and indecisive, but when everyone has a unanimous conclusion, he also has a decision.

However, Xun Yu's body had been deeply branded with the Qin family, so Yuan Shao's heart did not fall to the ground, and asked, "Wen Ruo, you can talk about it carefully." ”

Xun Yu was calm and calm, and said: "General Yuan, Xun Yu seems that the enemy army did not attack Jixian on the second day, and the intention is to recuperate and defeat our tired army in a battle. If Yuan Dashuai speeds up the march, he will fall into his strategy of waiting for work. ”

When you think about it, this possibility is very high.

"So, what should be done?" Yuan Shao asked.

Xun Yu smiled confidently and said, "Since our army has come to Jixian County, we must speed up our pace and rush to the county seat of Jixian County." ”

Yuan Shao was blindfolded, and said in his heart that you just said that Ben Shuai was going to be tricked because of this, and he was in such a hurry to make such an idea, what do you mean? He asked: "Since we have seen through the enemy and waited for work, our army needs to rest on the spot now, and also recuperate for the next big battle." In such a hurry, the soldiers are tired, how to fight the enemy. Isn't it the enemy's hand in the battle, isn't this looking for death? ”

Qin Feng said with a smile; "Brother Benchu, you are wrong about this. In general's opinion, Wen Ruo is trying to lure the enemy deeper. Our striker is defeated, and the back is set. When the time comes, the enemy troops who run into the sleeve will be exhausted. On the contrary, our army waits for work at leisure. ”

Xun Yu immediately showed admiration and said, "What General Qin said is very true, and Xun Yu also thinks so. ”

"Makes sense." Cao Cao couldn't help nodding, feeling pity again, and said in his heart that such a good military advisor. Gui Qin Zi entered.

"Defeat, lure the enemy deep, so that's it." Yuan Shao suddenly realized.

Deception is not something that is spoken out of thin air, it requires someone to deceive. Moreover, this fraudulent work is not easy to do, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life.

So who to send?

Qin Cao and Yuan glanced at each other, their status was definitely not to go.

Yuan Shao's heart moved. I remembered a person, looked at the senior officers in the tent, and asked: "There are many ringworms!" How many ringworms? ”

Liu Bei, who was standing in the senior officer ranks, heard this, his face changed, and he said in his heart that these three bastards, if they can't escape, they will die in the job, and I will always sit on it. Liu Bei hurriedly walked out, "There are many ringworms here." ”

Qin Feng smiled when he heard this.

Cao Cao said that there are many ringworms, and it seems that in the future, everyone will not know who Liu Bei and Liu Xuande are, but they only know that there are many ringworms.

Yuan Shao observed the words. Then he said: "There are many ringworms, and the deceit will be done by you." This time it's done, the credit is thin, and you are indispensable! ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this. He knows very well that military orders are like mountains. The leader asks you to go up, even if you don't want to go up, you have to go hard. If you will definitely go up, why not be righteous and awe-inspiring? As a result, it reflects Liu Bei's ability to be a man, and I saw that he was righteous and awe-inspiring. said solemnly: "Liu Bei will definitely live up to his mission when he goes!" ”

"Good! It is worthy of a lot of cheating and ringworm! Qin Feng applauded. He also said: "You are about to face tens of thousands of enemy soldiers and horses, you must be cautious, and you must come back alive." ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he trembled for a while.

The other senior officers breathed a sigh of relief, saying in their hearts that this job was not easy to do, and if they failed to lure the enemy, even if they did not die, they would have to peel off their skins when they came back.

In fact, Yuan Shao chose Liu Bei for a reason, because Liu Bei has a fierce general like Yu Zhang Fei, and the success rate has greatly increased.

There was a candidate to lure the enemy, and Yuan Shao asked, "Wen Ruo, how do you set up a trap?" ”

Xun Yu pointed to the ground and said: "This is a good place for an ambush, there are woods on both sides, you can ambush the soldiers and horses in the woods, the enemy comes, and they are strangled on three sides." General Yuan could send 5,000 soldiers and horses to lure the enemy, and prepare 10,000 soldiers and horses to fly the banner all over the place, pretending to be 50,000 troops to retreat. ”

Yuan Shao was overjoyed, he got up, took out a token, and said, "Where is the ringworm?" ”

"The last general!"

"Order you to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to be the vanguard, go to lure the enemy, and you will not be defeated but not won!"

"Whoa!" Liu Bei received the order, trembling in his heart, and said in his heart that others are pioneers, all of them are Xu Sheng, not defeated, and I, the pioneer, deserve it, and I am not allowed to win if I am defeated. He was a pioneer for the first time in his life, and he suddenly felt that the world is impermanent, and people's hearts are not ancient. So, Liu Bei silently recited: "The heavens will descend and the people will ......." "Out of the big tent.

Later, Yuan Shao ordered five more officers, led 10,000 soldiers and horses, waved flags all over the place, and pretended to be a large army.

After Liu Bei left, Yuan Shao said: "Brother Zijin, Brother Lao Xian led 10,000 soldiers and horses, ambushed in the dense forest on the left side of the road. Brother Meng Dexian, with Brother Lao Xian, led 10,000 soldiers and horses to ambush in the dense forest on the right side of the road. He added: "Brother Wei led the Chinese army and horses to block the way." ”

It is said that Liu Bei got on his horse after leaving the tent, and after galloping past a battalion of soldiers on standby, he came to his battalion.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led a hundred personal soldiers to catch it.

"Big brother, what are General Yuan's instructions?" Guan Yu couldn't help but ask.

Liu Bei was righteous and awe-inspiring, and said: "Brother is at General Yuan's place, and I ask for a pioneer errand." ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were overjoyed when they heard this. Zhang Fei chirped and said, "It can be regarded as letting us be pioneers." ”

Guan Yu's face was very red, he stroked five strands of long hair, squinted his eyes, and said arrogantly: "Big brother don't worry, let's go and watch the little brother kill the enemy, so as to strengthen the reputation of the elder brother!" ”

Liu Beixin said that the two of you had a lot of words, and he had to smile bitterly: "The two virtuous brothers don't know, we are going to be defeated." He hurriedly instructed: "Therefore, you must not behead!" ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were immediately dumbfounded, for them, it was just as if they had taken off their pants. I didn't expect Liu Bei to get this and didn't let it go.

Guan Yu's hand shook, pulled off a beard, and said dissatisfiedly: "Big brother, why is this?" ”

Liu Bei said embarrassedly: "It's so, so, and so, luring the enemy deep, whether you can win or not depends on our brothers." ”

Guan Zhang glanced at each other, although they were brothers, they couldn't help muttering in their hearts, no wonder Qin Cao Yuan let his eldest brother be the pioneer this time, it turned out to be a pioneer who was defeated and could not win. (To be continued.) )
