Chapter 6 Intricacies

Second, Liu Bei's situation, than! There is something in history that is too much to ask for. Jiang Zhe seems to be a blade and wants to end up Liu Bei here, but 200,000 or 300,000 people in Fancheng are a trouble, if they reluctantly attack the city, not only will the Cao army under his command suffer heavy casualties, but also implicate the people in the city."

Sure enough, it is best to ask Liu Bei to take the initiative to withdraw from Fancheng, as long as he is left with a "glimmer of life."

Liu Bei's abandonment of Greedy City is certain, whether it is Jiang Zhe and his party, Zhuge Liang and others, in fact, both sides understand that trapping Fancheng is just sitting and waiting to be killed, so the problem now is. When Liu Bei is going to abandon the city and go south, and what method to use, you must know that this time, Jiang Zhe will definitely not show mercy......

From this point of view, the most feasible thing is nothing more than what Jia Xu said, a mixed eye!

The official residence of Wang Hong in Greedy City!

Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others were also discussing how to break through the encirclement of Cao's army and go south to Jiangling.

After all, because Jia Xu reminded that Jiang Zhe cut off the waterway of Liu Bei and his party, so he wanted to go to Jiangling, and the only way to go was by land, but at this moment, outside Fancheng, there were 200,000 Cao troops surrounding, just waiting for Liu Bei and his party to go out of the city, then it would be Jiang Zhe's army!

For such adversity, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others sighed, after all, the power of Cao Jun is too huge, and Cai Mao in Xiangyang has the intention of joining Cao, that is to say, going to Jiangling by land is almost impossible to return,"

"Jiang Zhe has waited for me with a problem!" Xu Shu smiled bitterly and looked at Zhuge Liang, who was silent in thought.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the house was too dull, Wang Hong interjected and said, "There are still 13,000 soldiers in Wancheng, and although there are as many as 200,000 Cao's army, they are camped on three sides of Fancheng, and their troops are scattered. Maybe we still have the strength to fight."

"Hah!" As if he had thought of some clever plan, Zhang Fei laughed and said, "If this is not the case, I will attack a Cao camp at night, at this moment Cao Jun must think that we are thinking hard about retreating, and I will never expect that we will attack his camp, without many soldiers and horses, give Lao Zhang me 3,000 soldiers, and I will take a battalion for my brother!" ”

"Yide" Liu Bei sighed slightly, shook his head and said, "Situ sent two armies, one of the main generals is Cao Ren, and the other is Xiahoudun, both of them are generals, and they set up camps alone, how can they not prevent our army from attacking at night?" Or, the third brother wants to attack Situ's camp? ”

Zhang Fei touched the back of his head and said, "Naturally, Cao Ren and Xiahou are dunished, I don't believe it, these two can be counted as a night attack by our army!" With that, he looked at the counselors in the room, frowned, and exclaimed, "It's better than waiting here, isn't it?" Clever schemes, clever schemes. From daytime to night, I didn't see you wait for any good plan! ”

"Yide!" Guan Yu saw that Liu Bei's face was not good, and scolded lightly.

Give Guan Yu a drink, Zhang Fei muttered a word, and stopped talking, but what he just said made all the strategists under Liu Bei's account look a little embarrassed.

"Ah, what the three generals said is not unreasonable," Xu Shu smiled dryly, and said in a round field, "But the Cao army has obviously been on guard for a long time, so he sent thousands of light horsemen to act as scouts and patrol outside Fancheng, if there is a way to avoid these light horses, the three generals' strategy can also be feasible."

"If you wait for the literati to speak, you like to beat around the bush, if you can't do it, you can't do it, to tell the truth, I don't understand how to bully Lao Zhang?" Zhang Fei muttered, and then saw his brother Liu Bei frowning, and hurriedly said, "Brother, don't be angry, third brother, I just don't speak,"

"Alas!" looked at Zhang Fei for a while. Liu Bei sighed secretly, then turned to Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang and said, "The military advisor, Yuan Zhi, if you are not prepared, you really can't think of how to break through, you still need to rely on the two, and you still want to give advice.

"How dare you" Seeing Liu Bei open his mouth to ask a plan, Zhuge Liang naturally couldn't ignore it, thought for a while, and said solemnly, "Jiang Zhe's layout is to avoid the siege of the city and cause heavy casualties to the Cao army, so he forced us to abandon Fancheng and leave, encircling three missing one, with sinister intentions, he sent thousands of light horsemen outside, nothing more than to monitor the movement of Fancheng, as soon as we abandon the city and come out of the Cao army's light cavalry, then Jiang Zhe will first take the city, cut off our way back, and the only way to escape to the south, and then, this person will send a large army to pursue us" And now most of the soldiers in Fancheng are foot soldiers, There were very few cavalry, and once they were caught up by Cao's army, alas......

Liang has a plan in his heart, maybe he can solve this siege, but whether to use it or not needs to be decided by the lord! ”

"Huh?" Seeing that Zhuge Liang's face was very solemn, Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand and said hesitantly, "What a clever plan, and what a good plan to work with the army..."

"Yes!" Zhuge Liang arched his hand, glanced solemnly at the people in the room, and slowly expressed the plan in his heart.

"No! Categorically not! Liu Bei took the case. The faces of the people in the room also changed slightly, and they were silent.

For a moment, there was silence in the room.

The sky outside is slowly bright, not to mention that Liu Bei and others still can't discuss, and now they say Sima Yi, who is currently being locked up in a prison cell in Xiangyang.

It is no wonder that when Sima Yi arrived in Xiangyang, the city gate had not yet been opened, at that time, he looked under the city, and was about to retreat farther away, and then re-enter the city when the city gate was opened, but he happened to encounter a patrol of soldiers.

"This is good!" Lying on the pile of dry grass in the cell, Xun Ma Yi pillowed his head, looked around the cell, and shook his head with a wry smile.

However, he was not very worried in his heart, and as soon as the sky brightened, Cai Mao would naturally take the initiative to come......

But for now,

Sima Yi frowned, and looked at the corner of the cell with some disgust, where a foul stench was coming from it......

After Liu Biao's death, Cai Mao mastered the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang, forcing the side family to join forces with him.

The Cai family and the side family joined forces, and the rest of the families in the city were naturally the only ones to take the lead.

The only thing that made Cai Mao a little dissatisfied was some Jingzhou veterans such as Wang Wei, seeing that Cai Mao had a heavy army and refused to leave the city, he asked Cai Mao for trouble one after another, Cai Mao really wanted to kill these people and wait for Liwei.

However, Cai Mao didn't want to do it, and he didn't dare to do it, and he finally controlled the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang.

For this reason, Cai Mao hung an avoidance sign in front of the mansion, expelling a group of people from the outside, out of sight and out of mind.

This scissor can freely enter and exit Cai's house, in addition to the side family, I am afraid that there are also Cai Zhong, Cai He and other Cai Mao brothers,

In fact, Cai Mao's current situation is not very good, nearly half of the generals in Xiangyang City are leading to go out of the city to fight with Cao Jun, and those who support Cai Mao are nothing more than some wealthy families in Jingzhou, who betray the foundation of the late owner Liu Biao for their own selfish interests, for them, it is just "a good bird chooses a tree to perch on" Of course, the premise is that Cai Mao has to ensure that after Cao Jun enters Jingzhou, their interests cannot be violated"

Therefore, Cai Mao can only appease the family on the one hand, and appease the generals in the city who are fighting against Cao on the other.

Regarding Liu Bei's loss of Xinye and retreat to Greedy City, Cai Mao got the news two days ago and ordered Wang Hong, the defender of Fancheng, so that he could take the opportunity to get rid of Liu Bei, but the success or failure of this matter is still unknown, but he got a battle report.

Yesterday, Wang Hong, the defender of Fancheng, sent people to send it, saying that 200,000 Cao troops surrounded Fancheng, and the city was about to be broken.

"Cao Jun came so fast" Picking up the tea served by his subordinates, Cai Mao was thinking about whether to send someone to Fancheng, no! It is a trip to the Cao military camp in Fancheng.

The black background is white, and the river is a big flag

Wang Hongzhan

Looking at the generals and commanders under Cao Cao's account, those who can use white characters on a black background can use the banner, let alone "Jiang." There is only one person, Jiang Zhejiang Shouyi!

"I don't know when Jiang Situ arrived in Jingzhou, God help me!" Cai Mao smiled faintly, took a sip of tea in the cup, and recalled in his mind that he had summoned those generals to the mansion to discuss last night.

As soon as I heard that Jiang Zhe led an army of 200,000 under Cao Cao's account to besiege Fancheng, those generals who originally advocated sending troops to resist Cao should not be silent, but only drank in a sullen voice.

Surrender without a fight!

Since Jiang Zhe returned to Cao Cao's account, he pacified the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, defeated Yuan Shu twice, defeated Lu Bu three times, forced Zhang Xiu, killed Ma Teng, forced Liu Biao to retreat, blocked Zhang Baiqi, Zhang Baicavalry retreated, and attacked Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Zan **, except for Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, Liu Barrier in Yizhou, and Sun Ce in Jiangdong who had never fought with Jiang Zhe, the rest of the princes all suffered big losses in the hands of Jiang Zhe.

This is still when Cao Cao never gained power and there were not many soldiers and horses, Jiang Zhe always won more with less, and he was amazing!

At present, Cao Cao replaced Yuan Shao, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, Jiang Zhetong 200,000 entered Jingzhou, besieged Fancheng, and soldiers came to Xiangyang City.

Except for some of Liu Biao's old troops and stubborn veterans, the rest of the generals except Xiangyang all joined Cai Mao's command, and finally Cai Mao barely controlled the power of Xiangyang's soldiers and horses.

At present, it is a little difficult to call Cai Mao, that is, how to get in touch with the commander of Cao Jun outside Fancheng, that is, Jiang Zhe, without others knowing, after all, Jingzhou is Liu Biao's foundation, and now that Liu Biao has just died, Cai Mao will vote for Cao to seek glory, and it is inevitable that he will be truthful.

What Cai Mao expects in his heart is that Cao Jun will besiege Xiangyang with a large army now, so that Cai Mao is also "helpless." Toucheng,,

"But before that, I still need to meet that person" Cai Mao sighed slightly, got up and walked out of the hall, and suddenly saw his brother Cai Zhong's face in a hurry, hurriedly came, and asked suspiciously, "Second brother, why don't you go to inspect the city defense of Xiangyang?" ”

"Brother" Cai He naturally saw Cai Mao, hurriedly walked over, took out an object from his arms, handed it to Cai Mao, and said solemnly, "Brother, look at this thing?" ”

"Huh?" Cai Mao stretched out his hand to take it, and saw that it was a letter, and glanced at the signature suspiciously, but saw that there was only one word written on it, "Cai Mao's personal enlightenment", "Jiang.!"

"This" Cai Mao glanced at Cai Zhong suspiciously. saw Cai Zhong looking left and right. Fu Er said to his brother, "Today, in the west of Xiangyang City, a fine worker was captured, and from this person's arms, he took out this letter and called out, "Fortunately, the brothers of the city defense are all henchmen of the younger brother, otherwise this letter will fall into the hands of Wang Wei's veterans, it will not be good."

Cai Mao frowned, immediately opened it and looked at it, her face became more and more happy, and she laughed, "Okay!" He turned to his brother and said. Where is the man now? ”

Cai Zhong clenched his fists and said knowingly, "It seems that in Xiangyang Prison, after the younger brother heard about this, even if he rushed to his brother's place, he never saw that person,"

"It's not appropriate," Cai Mao put away the letter, hid it in his arms, and said anxiously, "I'm afraid that this person is Situ's henchman, don't be lazy, go, take me there!" ”

"Yes, brother, please!"

At the same time, Jiang Situ in Cai Mao's mouth is "confidant." Sima Yi was looking at the corner of the cell with a look of disgust, pinching his nose and sitting in the grass, when he suddenly heard a burst of words outside, frowned, and his heart moved. A crack came to his ears.

"Hmm, ahem!"

As soon as she walked into the cell, Cai Mao smelled a foul smell, and when she looked at it again, she saw a literati sitting on top of the grass, closing her eyes and recuperating, so she "spoke." Test.

Slowly opening his eyes, Sima Yi glanced up and down at the visitor, and said jokingly, "Looking at the clothes under your feet, I'm afraid it's not this hell pawn, right?" ”

Cai Mao smiled dryly, hugged his fists and said with a smile, "Under Cai Mao,"

Could it be that the Lord is coming? Sima Yi thought secretly in his heart, got up and arched his hand, and said respectfully, "Under Sima Yi!" With that, he looked at the jailer standing outside the cell.

Cai Zhong understood, waved his hand and scolded, "You wait and retreat first!" ”

"No!" The jailers were ordered to retreat.

Seeing that there was no one around, Cai Mao took out Jiang Zhe's letter from his arms and handed it to Sima Yi.

seems to understand Sima Yi's thoughts. Cai Mao said with a wry smile, "Although Cai Mao is not talented, no one will dare to pretend to be Cai in Xiangyang,"

"Sir, don't worry too much" Cai Zhong also interjected and said, "I am Cai Zhong, captured yesterday" Ah no, offending Mr., unfortunately it is my subordinate's henchman, there are many offends, I hope Mr. will bear with me! After that, seeing that Sima Yi still had some suspicion in his eyes, he hurriedly said to his brother, "Brother, this is not the place to talk in detail, why don't you ask Mr. to return to the mansion to take a closer look?" ”

"Good! Good! Cai Mao immediately understood, raised his hand and said, "Sir, please!" ”

"Please!" Sima Yi arched his hand and strode out of the cell, this ghost place, he didn't want to stay for a moment.

Walking outside the prison, Cai Mao had already prepared the carriage, and the three of them rode to Cai Mao's mansion. After getting out of the car and looking at the huge Cai Mansion, Sima Yi finally affirmed Cai Mao's identity.

The three of them came to a secret room and ordered their subordinates to serve tea, Cai Mao drank back and left, and Lang smiled and said, "Now Mr. doesn't have to doubt Cai's identity anymore, right?" ”

"Offended," Sima Yi arched his hand and said with a chuckle, "This matter is very important, I came here on the order of Situ, I wanted to meet the general early, but when I arrived in Xiangyang, I saw that the city gate was closed, and I was put in prison by a team of armor soldiers as a fine work, I am really ashamed and ashamed."

"Hahaha" Cai Mao waved her hand and said with a smile. "Mr. was frightened, and Cai apologized to Mr. again,"

Frightened? Sima Yi laughed secretly, if I hadn't taken the initiative to step forward, how could that Jingzhou soldier capture me? Found the letter in my arms?

Instead of waiting for the city gate to be opened, he asked Cai Mao's mansion everywhere to arouse suspicion, but if he was arrested as a fine work, he searched for the letter in his arms,,

Anyway, Jiang Zhe didn't write anything unspeakable. It's just an ordinary letter."

And Cai Mao has the heart to vote for Cao, and it can almost be asserted",

At present, Cai Mao is in charge of Xiangyang, as the top priority of the city defense, Bi'an is his henchman"

The only thing that is missing is the Xiangyang prison,

Damn it!

"How dare you," Sima Yi arched his hand and said humbly.

Looking Sima Yi up and down, Cai Mao asked suspiciously, "Cai has the courage to ask, dare to ask what position Mr. is?" ”

Hey! Sima Yi shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It's just a slight position, the position of Situ Mansion sword and pen officer, and the position of leading the army!" ”

Cai Mao was moved, whether it was a sword and pen officer, or a member of the army, it was just a position, but "Situ Mansion" was added in front of him. The meaning of the three words is naturally very different.

It's really Situ's henchman! Think of it this way. Cai Mao was even more respectful, and said in a low voice, "Don't hide it, Mr. Cai, I really don't dare to tease Situ Hu's beard, I have heard of Situ's prestige for a long time, but I don't have the opportunity to meet Situ."

"Hehe" saw Cai Mao say this. Sima Yi was even more sure in his heart, raised his hand and said with a smile, "The general's intentions, Situ also understands, he is sent to come down, hoping that the general can use Jingzhou"... One

"This..."Cai Mao and Cai Zhong glanced at each other.

"Heh" chuckled, Sima Yi said in a low voice. "Situ means that his cousin Liu Zong is the assassin of Jingzhou, and the general is the governor of the navy, helping Situ to pacify Jingzhou and wave the army to Jiangdong"

Cai Mao was overjoyed when she heard this, licked her lips and said in surprise, "Situ wants to send troops to Jiangdong? ”

"Exactly!" Sima Yi nodded, that is, he said, "However, our army is not good at water warfare, and if we want to take Jiangdong, we must rely on the general more."

"How dare you" Cai Mao hugged his fists, turned to his brother and said, "Second brother, why don't you quickly order your subordinates to prepare a banquet and catch the wind for Mr.?" ”

"Yes!" Cai Zhong was also happy in his heart. Retreat with your fists clenched.

"Don't be in a hurry," called Cai Zhong, Sima Yi said, "General Cai, there is another matter below, which was ordered by Situ himself

Cai Mao's face was straight, and he clenched his fists and said, "Please show me!" ”

Fingers dipped in the cup of tea, Sima Yi drew a few times on the table, and said in a low voice. "The general must also know that Situ led the army to besiege Fancheng, firstly, he did not want his soldiers to be damaged by the fortification, and secondly, he took into account the people in the city" Liu Bei is this person, Situ has been trying to do it for a long time, and this time he was able to surround Fan

"Hmm!" Cai Mao nodded, echoed and said, "Liu Bei is here, hypocritical benevolence and righteousness, very ambitious, Cai Mou has also been trying to do it for a long time, a few days ago he ordered Fancheng Guard General Wang Hong to take the opportunity to kill Liu Bei, but unfortunately Wang Hong disobeyed the order, I don't know what Situ ordered?" ”

"The general can have this intention, Liu Bei's intention is just to go south to Jiangling and go to join Liu Jingsheng's eldest son Liu Yan" Situ has sent thousands of light horsemen to patrol the Xiangjiang River, cutting off Liu Bei's southward waterway. That's why. If Liu Bei wants to go to Jiangling, he can only go by land, and this land route must pass through Xiangyang."

"What do you mean," Cai Mao seemed to understand a little, and said, "Tell the last general to send an army to chase and kill?" ”

"No, no, no" Sima Yi shook his head, and Zhengse said, "The general only needs to be like this"

"This, that's it? Well, the Admiral understands! ”

After a day like this, there was still no movement in Fancheng, and when Jiang Zhe was anxious in his heart, thinking about whether to try to attack the city, he heard a report from the light cavalry, saying that at the south gate of Fancheng, many people had migrated south.

Does it have to be like this in the end? I'm so disappointed, Liu Xuande!

"Have you ever seen Liu Bei's soldiers tamed?"

I saw that the light rider shook his head and said respectfully, "No, it's all people!" ”

"Hmm," Jiang Zhe thought in his heart, frowned and said, "Explore again!" You also ordered General Zhao Yun to send someone to report the situation of Fancheng to me every half an hour, if you see Liu Bei and his party, you don't have to tell you, kill! ”

"No!" The light rider retreated respectfully.

"Alas!" Jiang Zhe shook his head, turned to Jia Xu, who was smiling and silent, and said, "Wenhe is not what you expected!" ”

"Ashamed, ashamed" Jia Xu smiled humbly and said, "In such a situation, Liu Bei wants to get out, the only way to encourage the people to move south, he is so mixed in, Situ is benevolent, taking care of the people, he will not ignore the safety of the people, and send troops to cover up the killing, so Liu Bei will naturally take the opportunity to leave..."

"Hmm" Jiang Zhe responded lightly, without commenting on the praise, silent for a while, frowned and said, "Our army has been fighting for three or five years, although it has never had a good name, but for the soldiers to disturb the people, it has always been dealt with strictly, and there has never been the slightest protection, I don't know how Liu Bei can say that the people of Fancheng have moved south?" If it's not coercion? Hmm", coercion, I'm afraid not! ”

"Hehe" Jia Xu smiled slightly, and asked in a different way, "What does Situ believe in ghosts and gods?" ”

"Ghosts?" Although I don't understand why Jia Xu talked about this, Jiang Zhe still answered truthfully, "Although it is said, well, the son is silent, and the things of ghosts and gods are confused, but I don't believe it!" ”

"Situ Yingming" Jia Xu arched his hand and said with a light smile, "The world is accustomed to attributing incomprehensible things to ghosts and gods, and in the same way, our army is fighting the world. However, they have never entered Jingzhou, although the people of Jingzhou have heard the name of our army, but they have never seen it, and now our army is besieging Fancheng, and the people of Fancheng are panicked and unable to speak, but Liu Bei is slightly agitated, and the people are panicked, so they naturally abandon the city and flee, Situ has also said that the people like the clouds the most, as long as one person has the intention of moving south, there will be hundreds, even thousands of people from the clouds"

"That's right!" Jiang Zhe nodded, and suddenly asked, "Then according to Wen He's opinion, when will Liu Bei choose to escape from Fancheng?" Before the people? After the people? Or is it mixed in with the multitude? ”

Jia Xu thought about it after hearing this, and said in a condensed voice, "According to his subordinates, Liu Bei will not choose to flee from Fancheng before the people, outside Fancheng, our army is equipped with thousands of light cavalry, Liu Bei is just seeking his own death by doing this; Liu Bei would not choose to be behind the people, he knew that our army wanted to take Fancheng. When the people withdraw to the tenth, our army will inevitably take Fancheng, if Liu Bei breaks through again at this moment, it will be too late; According to the door, Liu Bei Bacheng was mixed in with the people, and went south with the flow of people, "There are two or three hundred thousand people who are panicked, and I want to find out Liu Bei and his party from them, I'm afraid,"

"Tsk!" Jiang Zhe frowned, and said in a low voice, "Wen He has a clever plan, before Xiangjiang, block Liu Bei, intercept and kill him?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said playfully, "There is no clever strategy, but there is a good strategy, so I don't know if Situ uses it or not?" ”

"Oh?" Glancing at Jia Xu with some suspicion, Jiang Zhe frowned and said, "You can tell me and listen to it!" ”

"Yes!" Jia Xu's face was straight, and he said in a low voice, "Take Fancheng first, cut off Liu Bei's way back, and then send troops to cover up and kill, so that the people will return to Fancheng, and those who do not obey" will kill! ”

"You're trying to stir up a civil uprising, aren't you?" Jiang Zhe pursed his lips, glanced at Jia Xu, and said speechlessly, "The reason why I don't want to storm Fancheng is that firstly, it is inevitable that there will be too many casualties among the soldiers under my command, and secondly, I don't want to break the net with Liu Bei, if Liu Bei decisively leads the people to defend Fancheng, even if our army takes this city, it will not be a gratifying thing!" ”

"Situ Gaoyi!" Jia Xu smiled and arched his hand, and said jokingly, "In this case, then our army can only lead the people far away, and the people are unbearable to travel far, and they can only travel thirty miles in a day, and Liu Bei is afraid that Situ's army will come." He shall flee in haste, and shall he not be more than sixty or seventy miles in a day? In just half a day, even if Situ did not deliberately look for Liu Bei, Liu Bei was afraid that he would show his feet, and besides, there were 200,000 heavy soldiers in Xiangyangtun, and the people of Fancheng would not know it. Just ask Cai Mao to gather the people of Fancheng, Liu Bei, and the time of death is coming! ”

"Hmm" Hearing what Jia Xu said, Jiang Zhe thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "Ask Cai Mao to collect the people of Fancheng, but it is just to prevent the gradual development of the micro, and leave a future move, if it is possible, it is best before Liu Bei crosses the river."

"Report!"

Before Jiang Zhe finished speaking, suddenly a light knight of the Cao army hurriedly entered, clasped his fists and said, "Situ, General Zhao sent a small one to report that hundreds of people in Fancheng poured out of the city and went south, the number was extremely large, and it was impossible to distinguish whether Liu Bei and others were mixed in it, how to deal with it, General Zhao asked Situ to judge!" ”

"This Liu Bei!" Jiang Zhe frowned and shouted in a low voice, "Go!" Wenhe, come with me to take a look! ”

"Yes!" Jia Xu arched his hand, looked at the back of Jiang Zhe leaving, and sighed slightly in his heart.

Situ, I'm afraid it's Liu Bei's adviser who counts as the second life, and you won't kill Baixin, that's why it's so! ※

However, "

"It's good!" Jia Xu muttered to himself and followed Jiang Zhe's footsteps closely.

Isn't it because of this that I joined this adult?

Don't worry about the edge being too strong and encountering accidents,

Don't worry about the birds hiding their bows",

Do your best, show your ambitions!

"Wenhe, hurry up!"

"Yes, yes!"

yes, don't worry, don't worry!

With only more than 200 light horsemen, Jiang Zhe and Jia Xu hurried to Fancheng, reined in a high slope, and watched coldly as hundreds of letters swarmed out of Fancheng and headed south.

In the flow of people like a tide, it is really difficult to find Liu Bei and his party.

"Pass my order" Looking at the flow of people faintly, Jiang Zhe turned his head and a guard next to him gave an order, "You go to Cao Ren's camp immediately, and order Cao Ren to immediately order his troops and horses, and after half an hour, take Fancheng!" ”

"No!" The Zhuo Jun rode lightly with a fist and turned his horse towards the west.

"Wenhe" raised his horsewhip and pointed to the flow of people in the distance. Jiang Zhe asked solemnly, "You said that Liu Bei and the others, are they mixed in?" ”

"Hehe" Jia Xu smiled faintly, nodded and said, "Ten are **!" The voice fell, he seemed to see something, pointed to the flow of people in the distance, frowned and said, "Situ look! ”

Jiang Zhe fixed his eyes and saw dozens of carriages mixed with the torrent of people in the distance, and before he could come back to his senses, those carriages scattered in all directions and went into the distance with the flow of people.

"Those carriages are," Jiang Zhe was in doubt, when he suddenly heard the guards beside him shout urgently, "Situ, there is a detachment of soldiers and horses out of the city!" ”

"What?" Jiang Zhedang even paid attention to which carriages he withdrew, and looked in the direction of the gate of Fancheng, and sure enough, he saw a group of soldiers and horses slowly coming out, led by the three generals, it was Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.

"What guts!" Jiang Zhe slightly approved, turned around and ordered, "Pass my order, and order Xiahou to immediately order the soldiers and horses to attack Liu Bei!" Ordered Zhao Yun to gather his light cavalry and rush to the bank of the Xiangjiang River before Liu Bei! The herald ordered the tiger and leopard to ride and bite Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, "Remember, don't hurt the people for no reason!" ”

"No!" Jiang Zhe's voice fell, and several light cavalry guards beside him roared away, Jia Xu shook his head, and said with a wry smile, "Situ's order, it is inevitably difficult for some strong people, not only to kill Liu Bei, but also not to hurt the people, hey!" ”

"I have to do this" Jiang Zhe sighed slightly, looked up at the sky, and said slowly, "When our army first arrived in Jingzhou, if there were too many killings, it would not be conducive to our chief Jingxiang, besides, since the Yellow Turban disaster, the people of the world have suffered many military disasters, I hereby order, if we can reduce the innocent lives of a few people..."

"Situ Gaoyi!" Jia Xu nodded, turned his head to look at Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and his entourage of soldiers and horses, and said with a smile, "This Liu Bei also has a bit of guts, but he is a little puzzled."

"Huh?" Jiang Zhe turned his head suspiciously and asked, "Why don't you worship?" ”

I saw Jia Xu shaking his head and said blankly, "Looking at what Liu Bei and others did, it seems that they are breaking off for the people, but since Liu Bei has this heart, why don't you lead the army to break through alone, but you want to encourage the people?" ”

"This" Hearing Jia Xu say this, Jiang Zhe was obviously also asked, his eyebrows furrowed, puzzled.

"That's it" shook his head and smiled, Jia Xu saw that Jiang Zhe's face was a little solemn, and persuaded him, "Since Liu Bei is doing this, there must be his purpose, no matter what it is, as long as Liu Bei dies here, I will wait for this trip to be completed!" ”

"That's right!" Jiang Zhe nodded.

"Situ" glanced at Jiang Zhe hesitantly, and Jia Xu said hesitantly, "There is something that my subordinates don't know whether to ask or not,"

"But it doesn't hurt to ask!"

According to the disciples, Liu Beitu has the name of the emperor's uncle, there are countless names, but there are only thousands of soldiers, and it will not pass the pass, Zhang, it is difficult to make a difference, in contrast, at present, Zhang Bai is riding the army to Hanzhong, if he is asked to capture Hanzhong, the power of Xiliang and Hanzhong, if Cao Gong wants to take it, I am afraid it is not easy,,

The subordinates thought that after our army took Jingzhou, it would be better to train the navy here, take this opportunity, take Hanzhong and Xiliang in the west, and wait for him to break Zhang Baiqi and ride the white wave and yellow scarf under his command, recover the two places, and then take the victorious army to regain Jiangdong. ”

"Zhang Baiqi" Jiang Zhe smiled slightly, shook his head and said with a smile, "I thought that it would be difficult for this person to succeed, and our army will be the enemy in the future, one Liu Bei, two Jiangdong, and the rest, don't be afraid!" ”

Jia Xu was stunned when he heard this, glanced at Jiang Zhe suspiciously, and saw that Jiang Zhe didn't want to say anything more, so he didn't ask anymore.

After half a ring, Jia Xu hesitated and said, "Situ, the big event has been decided, why don't you return to the camp and wait for good news?" ”

"No!" Jiang Zhe shook his head, squinted at the flow of people in the distance, and suddenly said, "I want to see Liu Bei fall from his horse with my own eyes, so that I can feel at ease!" ”

"Yes!"

Not to mention that Jiang Zhe, Jia Xu and other two hundred light horsemen watched the people of Fancheng move south from a distance on a high slope, and said that Cao Ren and Xiahoudun were in the second camp.

With Jiang Zhe's order, Cao Ren did not dare to slack off. Immediately exhausted the soldiers and horses in the camp, waved the army to Fancheng, and after half an hour, rushed to the foot of Wancheng, and took Fancheng without much effort.

After taking Fancheng, Cao Ren "burned Xinye" in order to release Liu Beifu. The plan, on the one hand, led the crowd to appease the unmoved people in the city, and on the other hand, searched for Liu Bei's soldiers.

Half an hour later, seeing that there was nothing wrong with the city, Cao Ren felt a little relieved, so he sent Le Jin and Li Dianer to lead the soldiers and horses under his command to help Xiahoudun pursue Liu Bei, while he himself sat in Fancheng and counted the money and grain in the city.

On the other hand, Xiahou received Jiang Zhe's order, and immediately pulled out the camp, hurried to Fancheng, and joined Le Jin and Li Dian outside the city, and the three of them joined forces and pursued Liu Bei in the south.

However, it is said that it is a pursuit, but in fact, it is at best to put pressure on Liu Bei and others, and it is the tiger and leopard that really acts as a killing move!

Even if the tiger and leopard cavalry suffered heavy losses not long ago, the tiger and leopard cavalry still could not be compared with the veterans, but no matter what, it was enough to deal with Liu Bei and his party who were like lost dogs!

Cao Chun didn't give any complicated orders, just two.

But where Liu Bei soldiers and horses, kill!

Whoever kills the people without a reason, kill!

In fact, for the tiger and leopard rider, the second is dispensable, the tiger and leopard rider prides itself on bravery, but it is a male soldier, how can it attack the defenseless people?

It's not that it won't, but it's disdainful!

Ninety percent of this strict order was used by Cao Chun to deter the Wuhuan Cavalry in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and it was useless to treat these grassland warriors with reason and words, only with fists could they understand who was the leader of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!

Rushing all the way, even these warriors on the grassland felt a little unbearable, but looking at the faces of the veterans of the tiger and leopard cavalry, it seemed to be commonplace, which made the Wuhuan cavalry secretly speechless.

"Boss Cao" rode his horse and galloped. Meng Xu, the chief of the tiger and leopard cavalry, pointed to the distance and shouted: "I saw Liu Bei's soldiers and horses!" ”

"Call me Commander!" Cao Chun roared viciously, and then shouted loudly, "Brothers, remember to kill today!" ”

"Drink!" With a shout, the three thousand tiger and leopard riders suddenly dispersed, like fierce tigers, and pounced on Liu Bei's soldiers and horses.

Behind this palace, is the Fancheng guard Wang Hong, when he heard the Malay report, said that there is a soldier and horse from the back to kill, Wang Hong will know but do not wait for him to have any contingency plan, that army of soldiers and horses actually kill one, ※

Taking advantage of the gap to look behind him, he saw that the soldiers and horses were covered in black armor, equipped with horse armor, and holding a black machete, Wang Hong's face changed suddenly.

If it is not bad as expected, this army is the rumored division of tigers and wolves, tigers and leopards!

At the beginning of the battle against Yuan and Cao Chenliu, the reputation of the tiger and leopard cavalry and the trapped camp spread all over the world, as a general of Jingzhou, how could Wang Hong not know?

Trouble!

With a wry smile, Wang Hong could only send the only 5,000 Fancheng soldiers beside him to form a formation to resist the enemy.

Can...

As mentioned a long time ago, the tiger and leopard cavalry is between the heavy cavalry and the light cavalry, at best it is just a light cavalry with slightly stronger armor, and it is still far from the heavy cavalry, and at the same time, the mobility of the tiger and leopard cavalry is naturally not comparable to the foot soldiers next to Wang Hong.

I am afraid that the only one who can fight with the tiger and leopard is the pride of Gongsun Chan and the white horse who is also a light cavalry."

"Crossbow!" Cao Chun shouted, and the tigers and leopards under his command took the crossbows hanging on horseback behind them and rode and shot!

Cough! It's barely a ride shot,

Within 100 steps, the power of the crossbow arrow, for the Fan Cheng soldiers under Wang Hong, who were only wearing leather armor, was a devastating blow.

In just one volley, most of the 5,000 Fancheng soldiers under Wang Hong's command fell, which made Wang Hong shocked and angry.

Changing the knife in his hand, Cao Chun exhaled slightly, the war knife was always in front, and shouted loudly, "Kill!" ”

"Drink!"

Three thousand tigers and leopards rode like wolves and tigers to pounce into the array of soldiers and horses under Wang Hong's command, and with just one face, Wang Hong's soldiers and horses were scattered...

This is the rumored Haw Par Ride?

Wang Hong was stunned, and suddenly saw a cold light flashing in front of him, and hurriedly took his sword to block it.

"Lock!"

The sword collapsed......

With a wave of the bloody war knife and the blood on it, Cao Chun squinted at the people of Wancheng who were crying and running in the distance, frowned and said, "Trouble" Yang Ding, you take half of the brothers to the left wing, and I will go to the right wing, avoid these people! ”

"Understood!" Yang Ding nodded, waved his hand and shouted, "Brothers, if you want to make meritorious contributions, come with me!" ”

With this call, nearly two thousand tigers and leopards rode away with Yang Ding, making Cao Chun's forehead and muscles rise.

"For the rest, follow me to the right wing!"

"Drink!"

When Cao Chun's 3,000 tigers and leopards caught up, the people of Fancheng would cry and scatter, but when Xiahoudun led 50,000 Cao soldiers to catch up. The people of Greedy City were almost desperate, the men looked blankly at Cao Bing, who was getting closer and closer, and the women were holding the baby in their arms, and a cry rang out here.

"Cry and cry!" Xiahoudun roared viciously, so shocked that the people here didn't dare to say a word again.

"Say!" Pointing a gun at a man, Xiahou shouted heavily, "Where did Liu Bei Xiao'er flee?" ”

The man swallowed his saliva and looked at Xiahoudun who was sitting on a war horse in fear, his face was shocked and at a loss.

"Tsk!" Xia Houdun frowned. I was about to scold a few words. But he saw the man sitting on the ground and looked around, and the people here were also terrified.

Also, after all, the pressure on these people is too great for the 50,000 Cao soldiers.

"Report!" Suddenly, a light horse came over, clasped his fists and said, "General Xiahou, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses have been found ahead!" ”

"Oh?" Xiahou Dan's eyes lit up, he smiled, raised his hand and shouted, "Sons, Situ has an order, whoever kills Liu Bei will give a thousand gold!" ”

"Drink!" The morale of Cao's army suddenly rose, and the faces of the people here were even more defeated.

Riding past the man in a playful manner, Xiahou raised his horsewhip and shouted, "Situ has an order, those who hurt the people for no reason will be killed!" Walk! ”

The 50,000 Cao soldiers simply squeezed away the many people who were so frightened that they were dazed and numb, and chased forward.

When Cao Jun walked away, the people here came back to their senses, and looked at Cao Jun in the distance with astonishment and a little puzzlement, and there were many discussions.

"Cao Bing... Didn't you come to kill me? ”

"No, didn't you say that Cao Bing was going to slaughter the city?"

The man who was slumped on the ground slowly got up and patted the dirt on his body, and a woman with a young child in her arms ran to his side and asked with concern, "Daddy, are you okay?" ”

"No" is fine. The man scratched his head, puzzled. Cao Jun doesn't seem to be as fierce as rumored,"

"Why not!" An old man said very fearfully, "I heard that Cao Jun killed nearly a million troops of Yuan Shao in Chongzhou, nearly one million,"

"Millions, then why don't they kill me?"

"Didn't you just listen to what the general said, that Lord Situ gave a strict order, and those who hurt the people for no reason should be beheaded

"Oh, who is Situ Nai?"

"This,"

"I know, Jiang Situ!"

"Oh,"

Not to mention that more and more people saw that Cao Jun had not harmed them, and stopped talking about it, Xiahoudun and his party of 50,000 people were still rushing ahead.

However, due to the increasing number of people, it seriously affected the advance of the army under Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou was afraid of it, so he had no choice but to divide his troops and disperse the 50,000 horses under his command, so that the generals in the army led them and scattered to pursue Liu Bei, including Li Dian, Le Jin and other generals.

Far away. Xiahoudun seemed to see Cao Chun's figure, so he immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Zihe! Sub and! ”

"Huh?" Cao Chunzheng suffered from the large number of people here, unable to rush, and couldn't kill and kill, when he was upset, he heard someone calling behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Xiahou Dun, waved his hand and shouted, "Yuan Rang!" ”

Xiahou immediately stepped forward and asked urgently, "Have you ever met Liu Bei?" ”

"Encountered!" Cao Chun nodded, and then said deflatedly, "Liu Bei led the army to the palace, and asked me to defeat it, but I still asked this guy to run away, Situ strictly ordered not to hurt the people for no reason, and the tigers and leopards under my command are all cavalry, and the roads are impassable, so they can't be pursued,"

"Hey, hey!" Xiahoudun smiled, patted Cao Chun on the shoulder and said, "Zihe pursued all the way, people are sleepy and tired, so let's stay here to rest and rest, then Liu Bei, leave it to me, oh, by the way, where did Liu Bei go?" ”

"You!" Cao Chun was angry when he heard this, and he glanced at Xiahoudun angrily, but seeing that he was right, the tiger and leopard rode all the way to chase and kill, and he was indeed a little tired. So, Cao Chun looked around, pointed in a direction and said, "There, Liu Bei went there, remember, half of the credit will be given to me!" ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Xiahoudun laughed, and suddenly shouted, "If you don't want to die, get out of the way!" ”

Suddenly, the people here retreated on both sides, and Xiahoudun smiled and led thousands of Cao soldiers away.

This guy Cao Chun smiled bitterly and shook his head.

However, if it was Liu Bei who Xiahoudun was chasing, then who were Le Jin and Li Dian chasing?

"Liu Bei went east!" A group of Cao Jun yelled.

"Liu Bei went west!" Another group of Cao Jun yelled.

"What?" Le Jin and Li Dian glanced at each other, a little dazed.

After pondering for a while, Li Dian frowned and said, "You go east, I go west!" ”

"Yes!" Lejin nodded.

"Liu Bei, Liu Bei is here!"

"Liu Bei ran southeast!"

"Liu Bei ran southwest!"

"Kill Liu Bei! Kill Liu Bei! ”

Such as non... Language. From time to time in Cao Jun! Ringing. As a result, the generals of the Cao army were shocked in their hearts, how many Liu Beis were there?

At the same time, Jiang Zhe and Jia Xu and others have arrived on the bank of the Xiangjiang River, looking at those people hugging to cross the bridge and cross the river, as early as half an hour ago, Zhao Yun led five thousand light horsemen to this place, just waiting for Liu Bei to appear, Zhao Yun led the army to besiege and kill.

Zhao Yun kept asking five thousand light horsemen to wait upstream, and he was alone here to visit, waiting for two hours, Zhao Yun did not wait for Liu Bei and his party, but waited for Jiang Zhe, Jia Xu and other two hundred light horses.

Swimming on the high slope, only more than ten light horsemen dismounted to escort them, Jiang Zhe and the others stared intently at the crossing bridge and those people flocking to cross the river.

"Wenhe" frowned, Jiang Zhehu said suspiciously, "Do you think it is possible that Liu Bei is mixed with these people?" ”

"What does Situ mean," Jia Xu understood and said in surprise, "Liu Bei pretended to be a common man and crossed the river under our noses?" It shouldn't be, we saw Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei leading the army out of Fancheng, and then the light cavalry under General Zhao has been following from afar, with General Cao Chun and General Xiahoudun leading the army to chase and kill, Liu Bei is probably still behind."

"Isn't that weird?" Frowning, Jiang Zhe said suspiciously, "What Wen He just said, I haven't solved my confusion for a long time, since Liu Bei wants to lead the army to break through, why should he encourage the people to move south?" I'm afraid there's a deception! ”

When Jia Xu heard this, he stroked his beard and said, "When Situ said this, the subordinates were also a little suspicious" However, before Jia Xu finished speaking, he saw a light horse hurrying not far away, and said with great joy, "Qiqi Situ, General Xiahou has captured Liu Bei!" ”

"Really?" Jiang Zhe was a little incredulous.

"It's true!" The light rider said respectfully.

"Huh" Jiang Zhe breathed a long sigh of relief, and Jia Xu beside him congratulated him, "As soon as Liu Bei died, Situ was worried, which is gratifying!" ”

"Ahh Jiang Zhe nodded, a little stunned for a while.

Liu Bei, the lord of Western Shu in history, has finally fallen here.

Then the only thing left is Koto!

"Huh?" Suddenly, Jiang Zhe's eyes tightened, and he saw a carriage not far from the river falling halfway, and a woman was crying out for help in the car, but the people nearby took care of themselves and did not help.

"Zilong!" Jiang Zhe frowned.

"The last general understands!" Zhao Yun nodded, dismounted and took a few light knights of the Cao Army, and pulled half of the carriage that had fallen to the shore on the riverside.

Looking at the people who were frantically crossing the river, especially many of them were squeezed into the river, Jiang Zhe walked to Zhao Yun's side, frowned and said, "Zilong, call the light rider here to maintain order."

"Situ can't!" Jia Xu, who followed closely, heard the words and persuaded, "The people of Fancheng are bewitched because they are afraid of our army, and they want to move south to Xiangyang. ”

"This," Jiang Zhe was a little embarrassed, shook his head and was about to speak, but heard a female voice say, "Thank you for saving your life, concubine" The folk girl was grateful. ”

Turning his head and glancing at the woman, it was the woman in the carriage, Jiang Zhe smiled slightly, and said lightly, "It's just a trivial matter, it's not enough to worry about, Madame doesn't have to care." As he spoke, Jiang Zhe glanced at the baby in the woman's arms.

The woman understood, saluted respectfully and said, "This is the son of a people's daughter."

"Oh" Jiang Zhe nodded, and suddenly asked, "Why is Madame walking alone?" ”

"Maybe it's just been scattered by the flow of people," the woman said with a wry smile while holding the baby in her arms, "The girl was in the carriage, and she only felt a bump, and she almost fell into the river, fortunately to you."

"Huh?" Before the woman finished speaking, she saw Jia Xu looking the carriage up and down, and muttered, "Situ, if the memory of the door is not bad, this carriage is one of the dozens of carriages I saw outside the city."

"Situ?" The woman muttered to herself, her face changing slightly.

As if thinking of something, Jiang Zhe frowned and asked, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, but Madame's surname is Gan?" ”

I saw that the woman's face turned pale, bit her lip lightly, and bowed her head silently.

"Situ?" Jia Xu looked at Jiang Zhe with some consternation. Even Zhao Yun was a little puzzled.

Pointing to the baby in the woman's arms, Jiang Zhe said in a condensed voice, "This son is Liu Xuande's son?" ”

When the woman heard this, she glanced at Jiang Zhe in horror, and stepped back again and again, holding the baby in her arms.

"Liu Bei's son?" Jia Xu was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly whispered to Jiang Zhe, "Situ, do everything you can to eliminate evil!" Otherwise, he will be in trouble."

When the woman heard this, she couldn't hide the horror on her face, and looked at Jiang Zhe in shock, her eyes were full of pleading, perhaps, she already understood who this person in front of her was.

Glancing deeply at the baby sleeping in his mother's arms, Liu Chan in history, Jiang Zhe smiled bitterly, shook his head and muttered, "If it is bad for his life, why bother implicating his wife and children, cutting the grass and eradicating the root cause is not tolerated!" After that, Jiang Zhe glanced at the woman, sighed slightly and said, "I can't hide it, under Jiang Zhe, "Madam, let's cross the river!" Zilong, send Mrs. Liu across the river! ”

"No!" Zhao Yun clenched his fists, raised his hand and said to the woman, "Mrs. Liu, please!" ”

The woman glanced at Jiang Zhe, and saw that Jiang Zhe's expression did not seem to be fake, so she hesitated and hurriedly looked at the bridge with the baby in her arms in her arms.

Looking at Zhao Yun escorting the woman to the bridge, Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled slightly, and said sincerely, "Situ is benevolent and open-minded, and his subordinates are deeply admired,"

"Cut off his life and cut off his heirs", the initiator, has no aftermath? ”

"Situ Gaoyi!"

Turning his head to look at the riverside, Jiang Zhe suddenly remembered his beloved wife in Xudu, Mi Zhen.

Even if it's a favor for Liu Xuande,"

"Huh!"

"Huh?" Jia Xu looked at Jiang Zhe with some confusion.

After just half a moment, Zhao Yun came back to his life, "Situ, the last general has sent Mrs. Liu to the other side!" ”

"Hmm!" Jiang Zhe nodded, turned around and walked upstream, and said, "Liu Bei has been removed, and the people of Fancheng will be called Cai Mao to collect in Xiangyang" But before he finished speaking, Jiang Zhe suddenly remembered something, looked up at the sky, and his face changed suddenly.

"Situ, how?" Seeing Jiang Zhe like this, Jia Xu was a little puzzled, and Zhao Yun was also at a loss.

"Celestial Phenomena" Jiang Zhe muttered to himself, turned to look at Jia Xu and Zhao Yun, and said suspiciously, "Yuan Rang, did you really kill Liu Bei?" ”

"This" Jia Xu said in surprise with a puzzled face. "For such a big thing, General Xiahou will definitely not say anything,"

With a frown, Jiang Zhe's face became a little solemn, and he said to Zhao Yun in a deep voice, "Zilong Mingyuan asked me to come and see me!" ”

"No!" Zhao Yun hugged his fists and saluted.

Looking at Zhao Yun riding his horse away, Jiang Zhe stood on the high slope upstream, looking at the people downstream with a complicated expression.

The heavens have not yet appeared!

The celestial phenomena have not shown Liu Bei's fall!

Zhuge Liang ......

Subconsciously, a vague figure flashed in Jiang Zhe's mind.

Sure enough, it's easy to dig a pit and it's hard to fill it.
