Chapter 71 Liu Rengong plans to take three states
"Are you all ready?" Liu Rengong asked with a solemn face.
Liu Yanlang calmly walked up to Liu Rengong and said softly: "Don't worry, general, the soldiers are ready." Especially after knowing that the Ninth Taibao led the soldiers to come, the morale of the soldiers has recovered a lot. ”
Hearing the name of the Nine Taibao, Liu Rengong's pupils involuntarily shrank slightly, this Nine Taibao is one of the few people Liu Rengong can afford. Li Ke used the Thirteen Taibao to form the Yi'er Army, but the only people in it who could make Liu Rengong value were Li Cunqiao, Li Cunxiao, and Li Siyuan, and the last person was this Ninth Taibao Li Cunxian.
Although this Li Cunxin came from a humble background, after being reused by Li Keyong, he was not as arrogant as Li Cunxin, but was stable and low-key. But he was decisive and quick. It simply gives people the feeling of a wolf in sheep's clothing, and in modern terms, it is to be low-key and high-profile. This also made Liu Rengong feel a little jealous.
However, Liu Rengong didn't think much about Li Cunxian, and after a slight hean, he said, "Let's go!" So that the old man of Na'an Shihuan knows that I am awesome! ”
The news of Liu Rengong's re-dispatch of troops was soon discovered by the scouts, and after An Shihuan got the report, not only did he not treat it carefully, but happily said to the people on the left and right: "Ha! Ha! That Liu Xiao'er said to people that he was forty years old and nine, and when he was on the festival, I already felt that he was arrogant. Now that I have been defeated by my hands for the second time, I still dare to come over, but I am looking for death three times in a month! Okay, I don't want to go to the Qingtian Avenue, I want to come to the Hades Palace as a guest, this time I will take off his neck and give it to the festival handsome! ”
On the same day, An Shihuan did not send anyone to inform Li Kuangshou, and directly ordered 5,000 Ma Bujun to leave Xinzhou. Coming to an unnamed hill, An Shihuan saw Liu Rengong.
Although Liu Rengong had about 6,000 soldiers and horses, he seemed to be very afraid of An Shihuan, and the army had its back against the hill and set up a defensive circle. The war horses all shrank to the center of the battle array, looking like they didn't dare to attack.
When An Shihuan saw it, his originally proud mentality became even more proud, and he laughed and said, "Such a child is really afraid of death!" But don't think about leaving when you come, someone will rush me! ”
An Shihuan didn't line up in any offensive formation, and rushed forward directly with the army. Originally, Liu Rengong's soldiers were much more than An Shihuan's, and they were still waiting for work. An Shihuan didn't even have time to breathe a sigh for the soldiers, and the soldiers were even more tired. Although the momentum of the charge was violent, the effect was mediocre. Instead, he fought a tug-of-war with the Hedong Army brought by Liu Rengong, and his physical strength was even more exertional.
After about a moment, suddenly a muffled thunder sounded behind him, and Lu Longbing looked behind, and everyone's faces were a little whiter than white paper.
I saw a pole written "Hedong Rebellion Deputy Pioneer Officer Li Cunxian", flying with the wind, but what made people feel even more palpitations was the three thousand Shatuo soldiers under the banner. The Shatuo people were originally nomadic people, familiar with bow horses, and now they have steel weapons and equipment, and their combat effectiveness has increased by several levels. In the Central Plains, there were very few cavalry capable of fighting.
"Quick! The soldiers of the first battalion return to defense! "An Shihuan is a veteran of the battlefield in the end, but the resistance of Lu Longbing, who has lost the opportunity, is so fragile.
The Shatuo soldiers came too fast, and they couldn't set up a line of defense that could be called a gun forest. In just a moment, Lu Longbing's defense line was broken through, and the front and rear were attacked, and Lu Longbing's entire army was in chaos. Liu Rengong naturally took the opportunity to issue an order for the whole army to attack, and the Hedong Army, which had been holding back for so long, immediately exerted its might and returned ten times the grievances it had received to Lu Longbing. The Hedong Army and the Shatuo Army surrounded Lu Long's soldiers, but they were all wiped out in half a day, killing 2,000 heads, including the commander An Shihuan. The remaining three thousand people also had to surrender.
Liu Rengong immediately came to Xinzhou with An Shihuan's head and banner to persuade him to surrender. There were not many soldiers and horses in Xinzhou, and the large army was pulled out by An Shihuan, either killed in battle or surrendered, and those who remained were old and weak. In addition, the commander was dead, and the army was in turmoil, but after a while, he opened the city gate and surrendered to Liu Rengong.
Liu Rengong immediately played a trick and asked hundreds of Hedong troops to put on Lu Longbing's clothes and armor and pretend to be defeated. He and Li Cunxian led the army to "catch up" behind. All the way to Wuzhou, these Hedong troops who had changed the clothes and armor of Lu Long's soldiers immediately came to the city of Wuzhou and shouted: "General An Shihuan died in battle, and Xinzhou has fallen." We're all Lulong soldiers, let us in! ”
Liu Rengong's pretending to be defeated are all his clansmen and sworn friends, who were originally authentic Youzhou people's clans, and the defenders on Wuzhou City saw that the Hedong Army was about to press up. The second is that the accent is also Lulong, and the third is that they don't have any weapons. Immediately ordered the city gates to be opened and the defeated soldiers below were rescued.
However, as soon as these defeated soldiers entered the city gate, they immediately turned into wolves and tigers, picked up the short knife hidden in their arms, and killed the defenseless Lu Long soldiers who had just opened the city gate, and took the city gate. Li Cunxian led the Shatuo soldiers like a tornado, and took advantage of the situation to enter Wuzhou. The whole city of Wuzhou was in turmoil, although there were still people resisting, but their resistance was so weak and so futile. However, Liu Rengong captured Wuzhou in a few moments, and the remaining remnants of the army also surrendered to Liu Rengong.
Then Liu Rengong repeated the old trick, but he turned the defeated army of Xinzhou into the defeated army of Wuzhou, and then deceived the city gate and captured Yanzhou (now Yanjing Huailaidong). The distance of the army from Youzhou, if the horse is fast, it is only a mile.
At this time, Li Kuangshou woke up like a dream. Mobilize the army at once. And Liu Rengong and they did not enter the army, because this time Liu Rengong and Li Cunzhen combined only 10,000 troops. Their main task is to open the door to Youzhou, and now that their task has been completed, all they need to do now is one word - wait! Wait for Li Keyong to lead the follow-up army to arrive.
"My lord! Lord! The eldest grandson Chengliang rushed into the barracks in a hurry while shouting, tripped over the door frame on the way, and his shoes fell off, but the eldest grandson Chengliang ignored it and rushed into the house where Li Cunhuan lived in a panic.
"What's going on!" Li Cunhuan frowned, opened the door, and asked the eldest grandson Chengliang.
Sha Yuke, who lived on the side, also dressed up and came to Li Cunhuan's side in military uniform.
"NSW is defeated! An Shihuan was beheaded by Liu Rengong, Liu Rengong disguised his cronies all the way to defeat the army, deceived the city gate, and captured Xin, Wu, and Fu three states in a row! Eldest Sun Chengliang said with panic in his voice.
