※ I plan to fall into the horse valley. Liu Biao does not know nature. He didn't know that Sam was "dead." He also wishfully believed that by uniting with Ma Teng's 30,000 iron cavalry, Jiang Zhe's army could be defeated.

But in this way, he was worried about another thing,

Where are those Xiliang Iron Riders under Ma Teng now?

In order to contact the Xiliang soldiers and Ma Teng, who "came and went without a shadow", Liu Biaonai sent countless scouts to a radius of dozens of miles, as many as three or four thousand, but he still did not find out where Ma Teng's army was.

On November 21 of the second year of Jian'an, it was an extremely dark night, with dark clouds covering the moon and the sight difficult to reach ten feet away, but it was a good time for night attacks."

As a strategist under Liu Biao, Fang Liang will naturally remind his lord to take strict precautions.

In Liliang's eyes, although Jiang Zhe said that he was a royal soldier to defend against the enemy, he seemed to have a soft spot for sneak attacks. If you let your guard down, then that night, this person will be very enthusiastic to tell you with his actions: this place is not suitable for camping!

And. At the same time, Fang Liang also believed that to deal with Jiang Zhe, he only needed to take strict precautions, and he should not be attacked by him. In this way, Jiang Zhe naturally can't play tricks",

Time passes. There was silence in Liu Biao's Jingzhou military camp. Except for some Jingzhou soldiers who came and went to patrol, there was no other sound.

What is somewhat funny is that in order to prevent Jiang Zhe from attacking at night, Ju Liang set up a large number of horses and antlers outside the camp early. Although he was not afraid of Jiang Zhe, he was also extremely afraid of the tiger and leopard riding under this person's command.

Haw Par riding. A mere soldier has the strength of an ordinary army commander or even a chief, such an army. If it is attacked into the camp at night and killed, then it will be worth it?

I don't know if I'll have my head cut off when I fall asleep. received a reward for military merit, and Fang Liang felt a palpitation for no reason when he thought about it.

has always paid attention to the preemptive side, but now he has chosen to be undefeated first and then win, which is really helpless.

After walking around the camp, Fang Liang couldn't see any flaws, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

On the way, passing by Liu Biaoshuai's tent, Fang Liang saw that there was still the light of the candle inside, so he stepped forward and called softly, "Lord, have you ever rested?" ”

"Oh. Zirou, come in! Liu Biao's voice sounded in the tent, judging by the tone of his speech. Apparently never slept.

When the guards guarding the tent saw Liu Biao speak, they stepped forward to lift the tent for Jiao Liang and let him in.

Walking into the tent slowly, Jing Liang saw Liu Biao holding a scroll in his hand, lying on the couch on his side, reading by the candle flame, so he chuckled and said, "The lord is so Yaxing, hehe." Liang came to harass him late at night, and hoped that the lord would atone for his sins,"

"Where are the words" Liu Biao closed the scroll and put it aside, sat on the couch and greeted him, "Zirou must have gone to the camp to inspect it, right?" How is it? ”

Seeing Liu Biao's question, Jing Liang said respectfully, "My lord, rest assured, everything in the camp has been arranged, so if Jiang Zhe doesn't come, it's just a matter of returning, if he plots against him and comes to attack at night, hum, Liang Zi wants to make him come and go!" ”

"Zirou has worked hard" Liu Biao nodded and said, and then asked suspiciously, "Zirou came late at night." But is there anything else important to discuss with me? ”

"Oh, isn't that" Fang Liang shook his head, pointed to the outside of the tent and said to Liu Biao, "Fang Cai went down to take care of the things in the camp, and saw that there was still a candle in the marshal's tent. That's why I came to explore" but never thought that the lord was so elegant, wanting to follow the example of the ancients who read hard late at night? ”

"I see" Liu Biao was stunned when he heard this, then glanced at the scroll beside him and said with a wry smile, "Is it Yaxing, but it is a pleasure in suffering, just chat to relieve boredom, Zi Rou and sit" said, he beckoned Fang Liang to sit down on his couch.

"That's right. Liang was rude" thanked him, Ke Liang took a light step, sat down on the side of Liu Biao's couch, and asked suspiciously. "Isn't the lord worried about how to defeat Jiang Zhe?"

"Jiang Shouyi is full of scheming, and it is indeed difficult to deal with. But at the moment, I'm not worried about him, it's Ma Teng! ”

"Oh?" Fang Liang was a little surprised on his face, and then a smile flashed in his eyes, and he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Ma Shoucheng has 30,000 Xiliang iron horses, don't say that Jiang Zhe has more than 20,000 people, even if he doubles the soldiers and horses, and encounters these 30,000 iron horses, he can only retreat" and I don't know why the lord is worried about him? ”

"Do you want to" Seeing that Fang Liang was such a wise man, Liu Biao was a little complacent, and whispered outside the tent, "Ma Teng, as the assassin of Liangzhou, heard that he collected the defeated army of the old Dong thief in the west of Liang and used it for his use, and his momentum was huge, and it was enough to be a prince all the way.

In the past, when he conquered the Chang'an Yellow Turban, he moved with nearly 100,000 troops, but this trip to crusade against the national thieves, why did this person only send two or three soldiers and horses? ”

"This." Ji Liang smiled secretly in his heart, and said with hesitation on his face, "The Xiliang army has always been brave, not as good as the army of the Kwantung princes, and besides, 30,000 Qin cavalry, if used properly, is enough to make more than 100,000 enemy troops rush back and forth, tired of coping," Liu Biao smiled slightly and said confidently. "In my opinion, he must have traveled day and night. After the sneak attack on Jiang Shouyi's army! ”

"Oh," he said, then "it dawned on him." , arched his hand and smiled, "Lord Mingjian, if you think about it carefully, I'm afraid that's the case." ”

"Haha. Liu Biao chuckled, then restrained his smile, frowned and said, "After you want to sneak attack Jiang Shouyi's army." Naturally, it is a good deed, and if he can arrive at this moment, it will be extremely beneficial to us, but if he wants to carry out a sneak attack, he has always had to drive the army in a hurry, and in this case, his soldiers must not carry much with them, and the same is true of dry food

Since Wuguan. To Lushan, which is far away and not to mention, the mountain road of Wuguan is also extremely difficult to walk, and furthermore. The time consumed on the journey must have been a great deal, and the rations they had brought with them were probably exhausted, so that if they were not supplied, wouldn't they?"

"Hmm" Fang Liang nodded, and said calmly according to Liu Biao's words, "I look at Jiang Zhe's decision, and it is stable." Since this person has made up his mind to move the people of Sizhou. It can be seen from this that it must be under the calculation of Qingye, and he wants to destroy the grain of the army under Ma Teng, so as to win without a fight."

"Zirou's words, very much to my liking" Liu Biao nodded, and then said quite worriedly, the news that the spider will not be able to arrive for many days, could it be "Could it be that he has returned with the army?" Or has he been defeated by Jiang Shouyi? ”

"Defeated? Hehe, does the lord really think that Jiang Zhe is a god? A trace of disbelief flashed in Fang Liang's eyes, and he said with a smile, "Don't worry, according to your subordinates, Ma Shoucheng is also a battle-hardened person." Presumably it will not be defeated by Jiang Zhe so easily, besides. Have we ever seen the rout of Xiliang? Then Jiang Zhe still has the ability to kill all the 30,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry? ”

"Hehe" Liu Biao chuckled, shook his head and said, "That Jiang Zhe is full of scheming, but Ma Shoucheng is not an idle person, 30,000 iron horses, even if he cuts" Half of his words, his words stopped abruptly.

"My lord. How? Fang Liang asked in surprise.

I saw Liu Biao's eyes squinting, as if he was listening to something, and after a full half-sound, he asked, "Zirou." You...... Have you ever heard it?

"Movement?" Fang Liang subconsciously turned around, shook his head and said. "But Liang didn't notice anything unusual..."

"Nope! Listen again! Liu Biao frowned and said in a low voice, looking at his complexion, it definitely didn't look like he was joking.

His conscience sank, and he closed his eyes and listened quietly, but as soon as his heart was quiet, the sound that he had not noticed was immediately captured by his ears."

"Knock knock!" It's like the sound of a war drum,

"Kill. Kill! "It seems that the two armies are fighting,

"Stomp and step," this, I'm afraid it's the sound of a war horse stepping on the ground,

"Huh?" Fang Liang's face suddenly changed slightly, and he hurriedly got up and walked outside the tent.

Inside the camp. There have never been ten things unusual, but what Shabu Liang should pay attention to is not in the camp!

Suddenly, he saw Liu Biao's guard guarding outside the tent with a stunned look on his face, looking at a place in the distance, and his head was fierce. He looked into the distance along the straight line of the guard, but as soon as he saw the distant scene, his eyes suddenly shrank, and he muttered, "This,,This is"

"Zirou. What happened? Liu Biao in the tent also walked out.

Glancing back at Liu Biao, Fang Liang pointed to a place and said, "Lord, look!" ”

Liu Biao turned around and looked, but this look made him a little stunned, only to see the fire in the distance, in this dark night, particularly conspicuous, and accompanied by a gust of cold wind, is the faint sound of fighting.

opened his mouth. Liu Biao's eyes were shocked, and he said hesitantly, "Could it be this?"

"I'm afraid I can't be wrong," his eyes looked solemnly into the distance. Fang Liang nodded and said, "Count the days, if Ma Teng comes in a hurry, then I am afraid that the army of Xuanta will run out of food, if it is not a quick battle." Then the 30,000 troops under his command are afraid that there is a risk of annihilation of the whole army" If Ma Teng is defeated, we will fight the army under Jiang Shouyi alone, even if we win, it will be a tragic victory, if we use 50,000 troops to defeat the opponent's 20,000, it will still be a miserable victory. So what will we wait for to march again? And how did the soldiers and horses enter the capital of Tuxu? ”

"The lord means," Fang Liang heard Liu Biao's words. Hesitantly, he turned his head, frowned, and said, "The lord wants to send troops to help?" ”

"Exactly!" Liu Biao nodded and said.

"No!" Fang Liang snorted, frowned and said, "I don't know the situation in the distance, how can we conclude that it is Ma Teng's army that is fighting Jiang Zhe?" If it is Jiang Zhe's plan, then what should it be? ”

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Biao asked suspiciously.

"Jiang Zhe's use of troops has always been false and real, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and it is extremely difficult to prevent, in my opinion, this is very likely to be Jiang Zhe's plan to lure the enemy! The lord and don't make a noise, wait and see what happens, wait until the sun rises and the sky is bright, and then we will send troops, if it is really Ma Teng's army and Jiang Zhe clash, the 30,000 iron cavalry under his command will be regarded as no food. How could he be defeated by Jiang Zhe overnight? ”

With a few moments of hesitation flashing in his eyes, Liu Biao shook his head and said concentratingly, "Although the countermeasures Zirou said are extremely stable. However, there is also something inappropriate, a matter of soldiers. The chance of victory or defeat has been fleeting since ancient times. If tonight is really a confrontation between Ma Teng's army and Jiang Zhe, and we are sitting back and watching its defeat, when Jiang Zhe defeats the Xiliang army in the future and concentrates on dealing with us, at that time, it will be too late to regret it

"The lord is also reasonable" Jing Liang frowned, nodded and pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said, "If this is not the case, the lord will send a confidant general to lead a hundred horsemen to investigate the truth and truth, we are naturally here to gather a large army, if it is really the Xiliang army is fighting with Jiang Zhe, we will not delay the fighter, what about the lord's will?" ”

"Hmm" will act according to Zirou's policy! Liu Biao said.

And the generals he sent were the Jingzhou generals he had already trusted, Wenpin!

It is said that Wen hired Liu Biao's order, and immediately responded respectfully, leading more than 100 elite horsemen to set off immediately.

At this moment, the sound of the battle has gradually subsided, and the silence of the night has returned to the surroundings. Wenpin was afraid of living up to the trust of the lord Liu Biao, so he went away.

Traveled a ride. For fear of being discovered by Cao Bing, who was staying here, Wen Cheng's more than 100 men and horses eased up.

However. A deputy general beside Wen Ping frowned slightly, pointed to the distance and whispered, "General, the last general seems to have heard some movement ahead!" ”

"Huh?" Wen Ping's heart sank, and he raised his hand and shouted in a low voice, "Slow down, gentlemen!" ”

Slow down your horse. Wen Ping and the others slowly touched it, and at this moment he didn't need to be reminded by the deputy general, he clearly heard some subtle sounds not far away.

"God bless, I didn't find out for them" Wen Cheng muttered secretly, turned over and dismounted, and quietly walked over with the reins of the horse.

Suddenly. He heard a voice not far away.

"The army will rest for a while, and we will pursue it later!"

"Huh? Pursuit? Wen Ping was suspicious in his heart, and asked more than 100 elite horsemen under his command to stand by and touch it alone.

He couldn't go far before he saw a fire in front of him, and with this faint fire, Wen Ping could see the scene in the distance clearly.

Cao Bing!

Numerous. I'm afraid that there are no less than two or three thousand, it seems that the net has just experienced a vicious fight, there are countless corpses lying on the ground, hiding behind a big tree, Wen Cheng peeked at not far away, he couldn't see it clearly, but a little closer, he could see it clearly, especially the "horse" banner that was thrown on the ground, which made his heart clear.

It seems that this army should be in a confrontation with the Xiliang Army under Ma Shoucheng, "Well, it should be a sneak attack!" Otherwise, I'm afraid that the 30,000 Xiliang troops left here!

Didn't he doubt three things? There are only two or three thousand Cao soldiers. Actually attacked Ma Teng 30,000 Xiliang?

No, no, no. Wen Ping will not doubt it, because what is left is the elite of the Cao Army, the tiger and leopard rider!

As early as Jiuweipo, Wen Ping and Wei Yan saw the power of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and with a mere 2,000 people, they actually attacked their 50,000 troops to the ground, which is really terrifying!

Secretly glanced at Cao Jiang who was standing in the distance, Wen Ping remembered this person, not Cao Chun, Cao Zihe and who else? The commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, this is what he said.

Listening to what this person said, could it be that they still want to enter the army to pursue the 30,000 Xiliang army? Wen Ping was a little surprised, and said secretly in his heart, "Although the tiger and leopard are brave and unstoppable, but to deal with ten times the number of soldiers and horses, I'm afraid it's a little overwhelming."

Just when Wen Ping was shocked in his heart, beside Cao Chun in the distance, there was a person who spoke, "Hey." I said Commander, do you think that Ma Teng is already hungry? Why did he fight with him, but he was so vulnerable, if it weren't for the guards around him who blocked him to death, the last general would have cut off his head long ago. It also saves us from the pain of pursuit! ”

Grain and grass! Wen Ping sighed in his heart, he had long heard that Ma Teng attacked Jiang Zhe's army after the light cavalry, and the dry food he carried with him was only three days, but it was a great pity that his trip was seen through by Jiang Zhe, and he immediately moved away the people in the south of Sizhou, and carried out the strategy of clearing the wilderness, so that Ma Teng could not get supplies.

"Alas" shook his head, Wen Ping secretly sighed, "It seems that as the military advisor said, Ma Teng's army has long been out of food. In this way, it is reasonable for the tiger and leopard to dare to face the Xiliang army, which is ten times their size."

"Hey. What's the use of you saying that at the moment? Cao Chun looked at the general in the distance and said lightly

; I'm you, so I directly took Ma Teng's head and then said it! ”

"Don't you believe it, Commander?" In the eyes of Wen Ping. The general of the tiger and leopard rider was a little anxious, got up and shouted, "That guy has been stabbed by me just now, and now I will catch up with him again!" ”

"Hehe" However, another tiger and leopard cavalry general next to him laughed, only to see him pulling a spear, and laughed, "Ma Teng is alone, why worry about it, or I will wait for the comparison, with the dawn as the deadline, who will kill more enemy soldiers than me, what do you think?" ”

"Why don't you dare?" The tiger and leopard cavalry general who had just spoken shouted, "Just bet on half a year's army!" ”

The tigers and leopards around the "March military salary" were in an uproar, and the half-year military salary was not a number.

"That's it!" There are many tigers and leopards riding in the vicinity, and the generals have made coaxing.

"Nonsense!" Seeing this, Cao Chun scolded in a low voice and said, "I told you to wait for a while, and I didn't ask you to wait here to talk nonsense, but you didn't know that gambling is forbidden in the army?" ”

"Hey, there's nothing to do, let's talk to relieve boredom. The Commander wouldn't be so unkind," said one of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Generals. Someone then interjected.

"I wonder if the Commander has the leisure to gamble with us?"

"If you want to gamble, you will bet for a year!" Cao Chun's extremely arrogant words immediately made the nearby tiger and leopard riders speechless.

"Humph! I see that you don't need to rest anymore, Chen Kai, I order you to lead 500 brothers to stay here, and when the Situ army comes, we will take the first step, find out the direction of Ma Teng's escape, and tell you to wait with an arrow! ”

"Yes!" Chen Kai responded with a fist.

"All the troops are ready to go, I'll go!"

"Yes!" All the tigers and leopards should shout, and they all turned over and got on their horses.

Worst. Ma Teng's army has long been out of food. People are hungry and horses are lacking, and they have been defeated for a while, and their morale is greatly lost, if they are entangled by this army of tigers and wolves, Ma Teng may not be able to get out.

Thinking about it, Wen Ping quietly stepped back, but no matter how careless, he stepped on a dead branch and made a slight sound.

"Who!" Cao Chun turned his head abruptly and shouted in a deep voice.

"Goo" Wen Ping subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, clinging to the trunk of the tree, not daring to move.

"How?" A tiger and leopard cavalry general beside Cao Chun asked suspiciously, "What's going on there?"

I saw Cao Chun scanning back and forth in Wen Ping's hiding place with his eyes, and then shook his head and said, "Maybe I heard it wrong, the whole army will set off, and they will definitely kill the first evil Ma Teng!" ”

"No!" All the tigers and leopards should be drunk.

"Stomping" followed by the sound of horses' hooves, and the distance went farther and farther.

"Huh" Wen Ping, who was hiding behind a big tree, was relieved, exhaled heavily, wiped his forehead with his hand, and was shocked into a cold sweat.

"This damn Cao Zihe!" Shaking his head and scolding in a low voice, Wen Ping seemed to recall what he had just heard, and immediately said secretly, "It's not good, the tiger and leopard are riding here, I'm afraid Ma Teng's life is in danger, and I should report back to the lord immediately!" ”

After thinking about it, he hurriedly returned from a long distance, found the more than 100 elite riders, and went back to report to Liu Biao, he couldn't imagine it, but at this moment Cao Chun had a thick smile on his face.

"I'm afraid that person was scared by the Commander, you are not lightly," said Chen Kai, the head of the tiger and leopard rider, with a smile.

"Humph!" Cao Chun sneered and said lightly, "If it weren't for that, how could he immediately turn over and repay his master?" If he is told to stay here again. If he sees a flaw, then wouldn't I have been busy all night in vain? Besides, if you break Situ's big business, don't say that you can't afford it, so will I! Alright, send someone back so that those brothers who are pretending to be dead can get up."

"Haha" the end, the end will obey the order! Chen Kai grinned and clenched his fists, then turned to the tiger and leopard knights under his command and shouted, "The commander has an order." Why don't you go soon? ”

"No!" The tiger and leopard rider respectfully obeyed, turned the horse's head and headed towards Fang Cai.

"I'm telling you to go!" Cao Chun said angrily.

Chen Kai smiled, licked his lips and said, "Then, the commander just said, bet for a year?" ”

"Huh?" Cao Chun was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile, "If you can kill one more Xiliang Tieqi under Ma Teng, what does it matter if I, Cao Zihe, will pay all my army salaries to you?" ”

"The Commander is so dishonest about people. Could it be that the last general will be able to chase into Huangquan and kill Ma Teng? The Xiliang army is gone, "Aren't there still Jingzhou soldiers?" ”

After hearing this, Cao Chun glanced at Chen Kai, smiled and said, "That's it!" ”

At this moment, let's talk about Wen Pingma's return to the camp. Tell his master Liu Biao what he saw and heard, and his words were so sharp that Liu Biao was extremely shocked.

"Ma Teng is defeated? A full 30,000 Xiliang iron riders are actually invincible to tigers and leopards? Rush away? "If you want to blame it, you can blame Jiang Zhe for not knowing how to calculate Ma Teng's entry into the army, Qingye told Ma Teng not to get supplies" The army ran out of food, not to mention the 30,000 Xiliang army. Even if it's 300,000, what can it do? It's a pity that "but..."

"Zirou, do you want the former poison to help that Ma Shoucheng? If this person is defeated, I am afraid that it will be difficult for our lone army to conquer Lu Mountain,"

"Rescue," Ki Liang muttered. Then he turned his head to look at Wen Cheng and asked, "General Wen, how many men and horses are there in the Cao army?" ”

"Well, I'm afraid there are as many as two or three thousand. Kindness. It's all cavalry! ”

"Cavalry," Fang Liang frowned. nodded, nodded and said, "I'm afraid Jiang Zhe sent the army to intercept Ma Shoucheng: if you get all the credit, I'm afraid 3,000 cavalry will not be enough."

"Oh, that's right," said Kan Liang. Wen Ping suddenly remembered that Cao Chun had also said, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Qi Qi military division, that Cao Zihe seems to have said a sentence, "Wait for Situ's army to arrive."

"Situ" is talking about Jiang Zhe! Shu Liang lightly lost a word.

"Zirou" saw that he was unhurried. Liu Biao was a little anxious, frowned and said urgently, "Now that all the troops in the camp have gathered, if you want to help Ma Teng, you should do it quickly!" If Zirou doesn't have any other plans, then I will gather the generals and distribute this matter" As he spoke, Liu Biao was going to send his guards to summon the generals of Yingfeng.

"Slow down!" Fang Liangyou cut off Liu Biao's summons, and said with a smile in his mouth, "Aid Ma Teng? No, no, no", the power of the tiger and leopard ride. The lord also knows that the Xiliang army has been without grain for a few days, and it has a new defeat, how can it survive for a long time? Rushed by the tiger and leopard, I am afraid that it will collapse immediately, if so, even if the lord rescues Ma Teng, what is the use? ”

"Shall I sit back and watch Jiang Shouyi deal with Ma Teng first, and then deal with me and others?" Liu Biao shouted slightly angrily.

"That's not it, Ma Teng has already given me a great boost" Fang Liang smiled coldly and said lightly, "To save Ma Teng at this moment, it is better to lead the army to attack Lushan!" ”

Liu Biao was slightly stunned, then his face showed joy, and he muttered, "Zirou means"

"Yes, exactly!" Fang Liang arched his hand and said.

Fan: Yesterday's chapter was made up over the weekend

I've been so tired, so tired, so tired lately."
