Chapter 290: Plans to capture Liu Bei alive
Liu Bei took three thousand allied cavalry, cautiously marched in the direction of Julu, his marching speed was too slow, the cavalry and infantry marched at the same speed, Yuan Shao in the back sent people to urge several times, but Liu Bei still refused to speed up.
The strength that was finally obtained, Liu Bei was reluctant to lose it, he was afraid of encountering the cavalry of the Fujiao Army advancing eastward, in case it was the fierce man named Dian Wei, wouldn't he have to be defeated, Dian Wei's name with the Fujiao Army defeating the Yellow Turban Army, it had already spread, and almost all the coalition generals thought that Dian Wei was not easy to mess with...... Otherwise, why do you want Liu Bei to be a pioneer, just let him be trampled on first!
After arriving at Julu, Liu Bei found that there was no trace of the Fujiao Army here, and Julu City could not be defended, and the city wall was demolished, but what made him feel a little relieved was that the people who stayed here could still live a good life, although it was still very bitter, but he could drink two meals of porridge a day without starving to death, this can still be done!
Just arrived in Julu, Liu Bei still has some grain and grass, he didn't dare to collect grain and grass here, for fear of provoking the people to revolt It would be bad, he can see that most of the people here are yellow turbans, but they have just been submitted, if he goes to grab the food of these people, I am afraid that the people will really rebel again.
Liu Bei didn't dare to collect grain from the people, so he made a gesture of peace and comforted the people of Julu. However, his consolation had little effect, and he could not provide food to help the people, but only paid lip service to benevolence, which was useless, and the people did not eat him at all.
Although they only stayed in Julu for one day, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei went out together, put a book case at the gate of the city, and wanted to recruit troops, but they stayed for a whole day, but only recruited three or two kittens, most of the people didn't even look at it, everyone was busy with their own business, who would listen to their nonsense, if you want to be a soldier, you can't be a Fujiao soldier, the Fujiao Army is now on behalf of the imperial court, the people have made a rebellion, suffered a lot, and now they want to go to the coalition army as a soldier, how can they be, the coalition army is not correct in name, it does not represent the court of Luoyang, So it can be regarded as a "rebellion"!
Liu Bei was disappointed, but he really couldn't give benefits to the people, and the empty promises of white teeth, the people didn't believe them, no matter how beautiful his promises were, could they still be so beautiful as Zhang Jiao? The people were fooled by Zhang Jiao once, how could they be fooled by Liu Bei again, the same dang, how can there be a reason for the last time!
Nothing was gained in Julu, Liu Bei had to take the vanguard army to hurry again, and everywhere he passed along the way, all he saw was a situation waiting to be lifted, although the people were poor, but they were stable. Liu Bei sent someone to ask, and learned about Li Qin's tax exemption method here, after he listened, he sighed deeply, it seems that Li Qin is quite a sensible person, but unfortunately he did not take the right path, and even coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, not to be a Han Chen, but to be a Han thief!
Liu Bei knew that Li Qin's army was stationed in Tiger Pass, and the terrain of Tiger Pass was steep. Conquering the Tiger Prison Pass, Liu Bei basically didn't have this idea, he just wanted to delay time, choose a good camp, and wait for the arrival of the soldiers and horses of the coalition headquarters, so that he could gain a firm foothold, so that he could be regarded as a meritorious service!
Proceed more carefully, and when he is only a hundred miles away from the Tiger Prison, he has already entered the range of cavalry attack, Liu Bei knows very well that the scouts of the Fujiao Army must have discovered him, and it is estimated that the cavalry of the Fujiao Army will soon attack and disturb him, so as not to let himself set up the camp steadily!
Liu Bei and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei discussed, they felt that it was better not to camp immediately, this place was too close to the Tiger Prison Pass, in case they camped here, the Fujiao army came to attack and disturbed, wouldn't the big camp be set up well, maybe it would suffer heavy losses.
Guan Yu said: "Big brother, since Li Qin is guarding the Tiger Prison Pass, this means that he is afraid of our coalition army, why don't we go to the pass to challenge first, kill a few leaders of the Fujiao Army, and after demoralizing them, let's set up camp again, so that they are not likely to go out of the pass and disturb the surname!" ”
Zhang Fei also said: "Yes, the second brother is reasonable, let's go to the challenge first, I'll take the lead, pick a few of their leaders, and see if they dare to boast about the strongest army in the world!" ”
The so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and the so-called art masters are bold, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have not yet experienced setbacks, and they can't understand how strong the strongest army will be, in their hearts, Yuan Shao's Yulin army is strong enough, and Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong is also one of the strong armies, looking at the appearance of these two armies, it can be inferred that no matter how strong the Fujiao army is, it can't be any stronger, as long as they are fierce enough to win one or two battles, it shouldn't be a big problem!
Although Liu Bei is careful now, he is not the Uncle Liu Huang who has achieved nothing for many years, he doesn't have an accurate number in his heart about what kind of concept fighting a war is, and he has never even been on the battlefield, how can he know the battle situation, at most, he has read a few descriptions of the battlefield in the book!
Liu Bei said: "What the two virtuous brothers said is extremely true, the Fujiao Army must not have imagined that we would take the initiative to challenge, and we will catch them off guard." However, in my opinion, the Fujiao army will definitely come out to attack, and the number of people, not too much, should be around five hundred to one thousand, know yourself and know the enemy, a hundred battles will not be defeated, since we know that they will go out, then simply we will calculate, ambush on the way, wait for their soldiers and horses to come, encircle and annihilate them, and then take advantage of the victory to fight to the pass, challenge, this effect will be better! ”
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were overjoyed, and they both said: "It's still the eldest brother who thinks about it thoroughly, this plan is very good, let's destroy their army out of the customs first, and then fight to the pass, and ensure that Li Qin is so scared that he pees his pants!" ”
The three of them made a plan, and began to arrange it with confidence, found a large forest on the official road, hid in it, and sent a team of cavalry to gallop back and forth on the avenue, which was regarded as luring the enemy, making a noise, and waiting for the Fujiao army to come out.
Tiger Prison Pass.
Li Qin stood on the city tower, and after listening to the report of a scout, he said, "The person who led the troops is called Liu Bei?" This is really interesting, what means did he rely on to become a prince all the way, or a pioneer in the lead, it seems that Yuan Shao trusts him very much! ”
In real history, Liu Bei was riding a horse in the coalition army, and was ridiculed by Yuan Shu and others, if it wasn't for Guan Yu to fight and behead Hua Xiong, it is estimated that Liu Bei would have to sit on a horse all the time, but now he is mixed with the vanguard officer, and he also led 3,000 cavalry, which is not a small force!
Jia Xu said: "Ah Qin, is this Liu Bei a fierce general?" I hadn't heard of it before! ”
Li Qin said: "He is not fierce, but he has two brothers, one is called Guan Yu and the other is called Zhang Fei, who can be regarded as a fierce man, and this person is related to the royal family...... Ah, I understand, maybe it was the abolished prince who recognized the emperor's uncle, and then he got the trust, and now the abolished prince urgently needs to employ people, and he can't care about anything else, as long as he is a relative, he can use it! ”
Jia Xu sighed and said: "It seems that this Liu Bei knows how to please the waste prince, well, it should be said that he is very good at pleasing the old lady of the Empress Dowager Dong!" ”
Li Qin said with a smile: "Yes, according to the current situation, a little-known small character actually became a pioneer officer, this Liu Bei's methods are still very powerful, especially to be able to take the army from Yuan Shao's stingy hands, and he is even more capable!" ”
Jia Xu thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Since Liu Bei's ability to seize power is good, how about if we catch him alive and send him to Luoyang, so that he and Zhang Rang can fight for power?" That Zhang Rang tossed too happily, I have to suppress it, Liu Bei and Zhang Rang compete for favor in front of the little emperor, which can stop the expansion of Zhang Rang's power, and that Liu Bei has no roots and no foundation, and he can't set off the wind and waves at all, and when we return to the division in victory, we will clean him up with Zhang Rang, what do you think? ”
Li Qin frowned, and thought: "Liu Bei is indeed very good at winning people's hearts, but in the face of absolute strength, no matter how much he tries to win over, he is in vain, he didn't meet Zhuge Liang, he is a dragon and has to be coiled, now Zhuge Liang is still a little child, wearing open crotch pants and playing with mud, if Liu Bei wants to pose a threat to me, this possibility is no longer there, so it is better to make good use of him, let Liu Bei, a slug, give full play to his light and heat, it would be a pity to die directly!" ”
He said: "Okay, then catch Liu Bei alive, but it's quite difficult, he has 3,000 cavalry, and there are two generals, it seems that I have to go out in person!" ”
As soon as Li Qin said this, the other generals were not happy, and they all said: "Lord Wang, where is this what you are talking about, just a Liu Bei, a little caterpillar, even if there are any subordinates, can it still be described as a big future?" Let's have any one of them here, and we can catch the three of them together! ”
Li Qin laughed dryly, he has a large group of generals, but if you want to say that you can beat Guan Yu or Zhang Fei, there is only Dian Wei alone, but Dian Wei wants to fight Liu Guanzhang together, it seems that there is no certainty of victory!
As he was talking, Wu Danzi ran back panting and shouted: "Lord Wang, the latest enemy situation, that Liu Bei went a hundred miles away, but instead of camping, he ambushed the army, it seems that he thought we could go out of the city to attack and disturb, so he wanted to ambush us first!" ”
Li Qin laughed out loud, he still has a bit of a military mind, but unfortunately, he doesn't know how to use scouts, he is a hundred miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass, and he still wants to ambush and dream in vain, it seems that Liu Bei belongs to the kindergarten level in terms of scout training, and he is not on the same level as himself at all! However, it's right to think about it, Liu Bei has just led the troops, if he can train scouts, it will be amazing, not to mention him, even if it is himself, he has been training for a long time before he gets the scout elite!
Li Qin said: "Don't fight, don't you all look down on Liu Bei's generals, okay, let's go together and see who has the ability to catch the living, if it really doesn't work...... Then let's die, the main thing is to pay attention, don't hurt yourself! ”
All the generals pursed their mouths together, Li Lang looked too highly at Liu Bei, this kind of goods, what kind of famous general can there be!
Li Qin ordered 10,000 horn soldiers, under normal circumstances, it would be almost the same to send a few hundred to a thousand people to attack and harass, but didn't Liu Bei want to ambush, okay, then let him fight, he took 10,000 troops out, and see how Liu Bei played!
