Chapter Ninety-Three: Temporary Peace

※ Xunliang's strategy, if it is changed in normal times, I have to say that it is a good plan. However, there is a fatal wound in the roundworm.

What Wen Ping said was what he saw with his own eyes, but the plan to cut the good was based on Wen Ping's eyes.

If this is a mistake, then Fang Liang was a little anxious and anxious in order to win Yixue, and he was a little anxious and anxious when he was humiliated by Jiang Zhe's repeated designs that day, which is his biggest flaw.

Of course, he would never have thought that all this was a ploy by Jia Xudi. But subconsciously thought that Jiang Zhe made him so embarrassed, who called Jiang Zhe too popular now?

It's the time of the night. Liu Biao ordered an army of 50,000, and brought several tiger generals such as Wen Ping and Huang Zhong to join the army and attack Lushan at night. Only the seriously injured Wei Yan and a few others were left to guard the camp.

The night is still like that, and it is only a few feet in sight, but now it is extremely beneficial for Liu Biao's trip.

Liu Biao had already silenced the horses and quietly marched towards Lushan.

Liu Biao's Jingzhou army camp is only thirty miles away from Lushan, if the foot is tighter, it will only be a matter of one or two hours, but in order to rush to Lushan before dawn, while the Cao army is unprepared, Liu Biao can only order a hurry.

Night, deep pie...

When Liu Biao's army arrived outside the city of Lushan, the city was silent.

Thinking that he had a plan, Liu Biao immediately ordered hundreds of elite soldiers as the front and quietly sneaked close to Lushan"

Lushan, which is a county, has been war-torn for a long time, and the city wall is already low and damaged, so Liu Biao is even more proud in his heart.

There was a slight sound of "Qiang Qiang Qiang", and hundreds of Jingzhou elite soldiers quietly sneaked into Lushan with iron hooks and ropes, which made Liu Biao, who was staring at the movement here from a distance, feel a wild beat in his heart.

Immediately, there was a scream from the city wall."

Whisper! Liu's complexion changed, and he shouted anxiously, "Fool, open the city gate!" ”

As if in response to Liu Biao's words, at this moment, the gate of Lushan City slowly opened"

"Well done!" Liu was overjoyed and was about to order the siege of the city.

"Huh?" However, a trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of Shabu Liang, who went with the army. He said secretly in his heart, "No" shouldn't be so easy, he turned around to stop Liu Biao's movements, and said concentratingly, "Lord, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate."

"Wrong? What's wrong? Liu Biao looked at the wide open gate of Lushan City and asked inexplicably.

"The lord also said it. Jiang Zhe is extraordinary, he has a husband and talent, even if he leads the army out of the city, he will leave his henchmen to guard Lushan. How could it be so easy?"

Liu Biao is not a stupid person, as soon as Fang Liang said, he immediately woke up, looked at the open city gate of Lushan with a look of surprise in his eyes, and said hesitantly, "Could it be that this is Jiang Zhe's plan?" ”

"This" Fang Liang didn't dare to determine whether it was a plan or not, anyway, he didn't feel so easy, so he immediately called Wen Ping. He asked in a low voice, "General Wen, are you really sure that Jiang Zhe has left Lushan?" ”

"I don't know" Wen Ping felt a little inexplicable, he just said that General Cao said that Jiang Zhe would lead the army there. I saw him clench his fists, shake his head and say, "This is what that Cao Jiang said, and the last general does not know the truth."

After hearing this, Fang Liang glanced at his master Liu Biao, and was even more suspicious in his heart.

At this moment, the lights on the city wall of Lushan were brightly lit, and one person said with a smile, "Liu Yuanjun is so Yaxing, I don't know why you came here in the middle of the night?" Looking at his gorgeous clothes, he smiled again and again, is it not Jiang Zhe or who?

"Jiang Zhe?!" Fang Liang exclaimed, and then said to Liu Biao, "Lord." This is Jiang Zhe's plan! ”

Nonsense! I don't need you to say it at this moment! Glancing at Fang Liang, Liu Biao looked at Jiang Zhe in the city, and said with a smile, "I just heard that Shouyi led the army to pursue Ma Shoucheng, and I was afraid that Lu Mountain would be lost, so I brought the army to help." Now that Shouyi is still in Lushan, he must not be afraid of Ma Teng, and I will wait for the leader to return,"

"Hehe" Liu Biao said it was really interesting, Jiang Zhe smiled, leaned over the city wall, and said lightly, "Liu Yuanjun is talking about that Xiliang Ma Teng, hehe, now that I am here, don't you still understand the reason?" ”

"Ma Teng is afraid that he will be defeated," Fang Liang sighed lightly.

Glancing at Shuliang. Liu Biao looked at Jiang Zhe and said, "The Xiliang Army is known for its bravery, and if you don't want to, you will be invincible to defend righteousness, and it is really a matter of great talent to keep righteousness, and it is really a pity to stoop to be a thief."

"It's a pity and it's not a pity. It's all in the bottom line, so why should you worry about it? Jiang Zhe said lightly.

Liu Biao was about to speak. Rujean. A cold drink came from under the city gate, "Liu Jingsheng, you are so uninteresting, you don't know it when you are dying, and you still want to say that my husband is yes?" ”

Liu Biao looked intently. Seeing a group of soldiers and horses slowly coming out of Lushan, he suddenly exclaimed, "Tiger and leopard ride?!" ”

At this moment, Jiang Zhe on the city wall said lightly, "Duke Cao has respected the envoy in Xu Dusu, and he has said several times that it is a pity that he will not see him, and now the envoy will go with him, how about it?" ”

Liu's face was stunned, and he didn't answer Jiang Zhe, and immediately shouted, "Retreat!" Hurry back! ”

"Where to go!" Cao Chun shouted, and nearly 3,000 tigers and leopards rode out together.

Looking at these wolf-like troops, the Jingzhou soldiers, who had already had a shadow, were shocked, and the formation was chaotic for a while.

Seeing this scene, Fang Liang immediately shouted, "Wen Ping, Huang Zhong, stay behind, and the rest of the people will retreat and then discuss!" ”

"Yes!" Wen Cheng and Huang Zhong hugged their fists, and each led their headquarters to resist the tiger and leopard cavalry, while Liu Biao and others took the opportunity to retreat, they had already suffered a big loss among the tiger and leopard riders, and now when they saw this army again, they were afraid in their hearts.

Looking at the chaotic retreat of the Jingzhou army outside the city, Jiang Zhe's face was uncertain.

"Situ chose not to kill in the end," Jia Xu said slowly.

"Yes, you're right. For the sake of a person who doesn't know the truth, it is really unwise to bear the charge of mutilating the royal family. And keep this person, so that Yuan Highway has a headache! Jiang Zhe said lightly.

So what is Zhuge Kongming's ability that makes Situ value it so much? Situ decided earlier to kill Liu Biao here at the expense of the crime of mutilating the royal family, in order to let the nominal Yuan Shu get Jingzhou. A trace of doubt flashed in Jia Xu's heart.

"Situ doesn't have to worry about it. It is extremely simple to punish Liu Jingsheng, but what is the benefit of killing this person at this moment? It's just that Yuan Shu got cheap, although Yuan Highway is not a concern. However, the name of the four doors and three princes of the Yuan family should not be underestimated. In my opinion, if Cao Gong wants to go to Jingzhou, I am afraid that it will be in the next year, if Yuan Shu is called to get Jingzhou at this moment, it is not conducive to the future, it is better to call Liu Biao and Yuan Shu to conquer the two phases so best! ”

"Hmm" Jiang Zhe nodded and said softly, "Wenhe, everything is settled."

"Situ and rest assured, the subordinates have already ordered Cao, Zhao, Xu and other generals" After saying half a sentence, Jia Xu glanced at the Jingzhou army outside the city and slowly retreated, and said with a sneer. "Liu Biao is a vain person, how can he know. In Lushan City, there are only 3,000 tigers and leopards and 2,000 soldiers."

"Hehe, Wen He acted like this, it really made people a little confused, don't blame Liu Biao for thinking that he was in the middle of the plan"

"No, no, no, it can be done. Situ Shi took a great advantage, and measured the corpse in Liudong, and Situ could be the 100,000 soldiers and horses, "Hehe, you and I don't have to say these polite words again, I ordered to go down, prepare to pack, and when the army comes back, I will return to the army Xudu!" ”

"Yes! Jia Xu obeyed! ”

Just when Jiang Zhe and Jia Xu were talking, Liu Biao's army outside Lushan had slowly retreated. Only Wen Ping and Huang Zhong were left behind.

Although he was not afraid, Huang Zhong also saw the power of the tiger and leopard riding ground, and after killing one or two tiger and leopard knights, Huang Zhong was entangled by several tiger and leopard riders, and he was a little stunned by the strength of this army, Huang Zhong for a while. With one enemy, some are not supported.

And Wen Ping, but he was against Cao Chun again,

"It's you who was there just now," Wen Cheng said intently looking at Cao Chun.

Oh? Cao Chun was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows and sneered and said, "Is it you who is hiding in the shadows and stealing money?" ”

Wen Ping's face froze, and he said in a deep voice, "You knew I was there?" ”

"Hey" Cao Chun smiled, shrugged and said, "Who knows?" ”

A trace of anger flashed in Wen Ping's eyes, and he immediately raised his gun and stabbed him straight.

Cao Chun's heart sank, and he restrained his smile and raised his gun to block it.

For a time, the two of them and the two horses fought together, fighting dozens of times.

Cao Chun's martial arts were already above Wen Ping, and after dozens of rounds, Wen Ping was suddenly a little overwhelmed, but in order to drag Cao Chun, Wen Ping had to do his best.

"You are very loyal to that Liu Biao!" Resisting Wen Ping's full force, Cao Chun said with a smile.

"It is my duty to be a courtier. As long as my lord is safe and sound, even if I spare my life, what does it matter?! Wen Ping said sonorously.

"Oh?" Seeing Wen Ping's resolute eyes, Cao Chun felt a little admiration in his heart, shook his head and said indifferently, "If you block us, you can save your lord's life?" ”

"Huh?" Seeing that Cao Chun's words didn't seem to be fake, Wen Ping was shocked and said in disbelief, "Mo Fei."

Only! Cao Chun snorted with a smile, flicked Wenpin's spear away, and shouted in a low voice, "Don't think about it too much, but I won't let you go easily, look at the gun!" ”

Seeing Cao Chun's momentum rising, Wen Ping's heart sank, and he hurriedly shouted at Huang Zhong, "General Huang, the lord is in trouble, leave it to me here, you hurry up and go to the rescue!" ”

At this moment, Huang Zhongzheng showed his majesty, and forced the tiger and leopard riders to retreat with a crowd of enemies, and he was shocked when he heard the words.

"Go quickly!" Wen Ping struggled to support Cao Chun's gun, and shouted eagerly.

Huang Zhong hesitated in his heart, took the big bow behind his back in his hand, and aimed at Cao Chun is arrow.

The sound is like thunder, the arrow is like a shock, Cao Chun caught a glimpse of Huang Zhong raising the bow out of the corner of his eye, and immediately pulled the reins of the horse, ** The horse jumped a few steps back, only to feel that the white light flashed in front of him, and in front of the horse, there was a whining sound from an arrow as thick as a short spear, and above the ground, there was a crack.

Riding his horse and galloping in front of Wen Ping, Huang Zhong shouted in a low voice, "General Wen, retreat quickly!" ”

Wen Ping glanced around. His face was shocked: he and General Huang had three or four thousand soldiers and horses, but in a short moment. There are only a few dozen people left here?

"Let's go!" Seeing Wen Ping's face suspicious, Huang Zhong slapped his ** war horse with a knife, and Huang Zhong finally saw the strength of the tiger and leopard riding.

"Good guy" looked down at the arrows stuck in the ground, Cao Chun licked his lips, looked up at Huang Zhong and Wen Ping riding away on horseback, raised his gun and shouted in a low voice, "Chase!" ”

"Drink!" The tigers and leopards rode three times and two times to solve the remaining dozens of Jingzhou soldiers, and chased them out with a loud shout.

At the same time, Liu Biao led the army to one place.

"I don't want Ma Shoucheng to become a full 30,000 iron horsemen, but it is" was defeated by Jiang Shouyi in just a few days, and Cao Thief won this person, better than 100,000 soldiers" Alas. Now that Jiang Shouyi's worries have disappeared, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to enter the army again."

Seeing Liu Biao say this, a trace of disbelief flashed in his conscience, even if Ma Teng's army was defeated? The thief is now surrounded by enemies on all sides. Jiang Zhe must not want to delay here any longer, and wants to solve the matter here as soon as possible, so that he only needs to stick to it, so that it is difficult for Cao and the thief to take care of it. Why do you have to drive directly to Xudu?

Thinking about it, Chipa was about to speak. Suddenly, he remembered something in his heart, frowned and said, "Lord, since tonight's matter is Jiang Zhe's plan, I don't think it will be so simple, he must have a follow-up move, and the lord will retreat into the camp, and then wait and see!" ”

Liu Biao nodded, and was about to speak, when two cannons rang out in front of the mountain, and then the drums shook the sky, and a man and horse rushed out, the leader of the general holding a two-sided big axe, looked at Liu Biao's army and said coldly, "Xu Gongming has been waiting here for a long time on the orders of Situ!" With that, an order was given, and the sky rocket shot at the Jingzhou soldiers.

The Jingzhou army escaped from the mouth of the tiger and leopard rider, and then entered the Xu Huang ambush, and the formation was suddenly chaotic, and then, I don't know who shouted "The tiger and leopard rider is catching up" The Jingzhou army was even more alarmed.

Liu Biao was shocked in his heart, listened to it, and sure enough, he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves. Hurriedly shouted loudly, "Go, go!" ”

From a distance, Cao Chunwang saw the chaos of the Jingzhou soldiers under Liu Biao, and immediately rejoiced, and asked the whole army to cover up and kill, and at this moment, Xu Huang was also killed from the side, and under the attack of the two phases, Liu Biao was defeated.

chased for nearly ten miles. Xu Huang and Cao Chun had just collected their troops and returned, and they were only ordered to pursue and kill the Jingzhou army for a while. But he didn't want to take Liu Biao's life, besides, Wen Cheng and Huang Zhong had already come to Liu Biao's side, especially Huang Zhong, who had already damaged the lives of more than ten tigers and leopards.

Huang Zhong's arrows were not to mention touching, even if they were scratched, they would be seriously injured, and Cao Chun didn't want to lose all the elites under his command.

However, the retreat of Xu and Cao Er did not mean that this matter was just like this, Liu Biao, who was uncertain, rushed for a ride, and suddenly looked at a soldier and horse coming forward to see him, and was panicking and was about to be hired and Huang Zhong came to deal with it, but he heard Liliang next to him and said suspiciously, "Don't be surprised, this is our soldiers and horses, but I don't know why he is here?" ”

Liu Biao heard the words and took a closer look. Sure enough, it was the soldiers and horses under his command, so he stepped forward and shouted, "Who are you leading by, why don't you guard the camp, and what are you doing when you leave the camp?" ”

I saw that one of the generals in this army rode out, looked at Liu Biao and said in amazement, "Lord, didn't the lord send someone to report that Jiang Zhe had ambushed the army by mistake and asked me to come to support?" ”

Liu Biao looked at it and saw that it was Wei Yan, who had not yet recovered from his injuries, and he was furious in his heart, and shouted, "When will I send someone to call you to come to help?!" ”

"Alas" Fang Liang shook his head and sighed, and said gloomily, "I understand, then Jiang Zhe's purpose is not to wait for us, but for us to wait for the grain and grass in the camp."

Wei Yan's face froze, and he suddenly understood the reason, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he turned over and dismounted and hugged his fists and said, "The last general" The last general didn't notice it for a while, and asked the lord to atone for his sins! ”

"It's a good one to be unaware of for a while. I ask you, if I send a man, when there is a clerk's order, will you see it? ”

Cold sweat broke out on Wei Yan's forehead. He bowed his head and said in a deep voice, "The person who came was covered in blood, and his words were extremely urgent, saying that the lord had mistakenly ambushed the soldiers. The danger is at stake, and the last general is anxious, even if he orders 20,000 troops, this is the case, this is the case, only

"Confused!" Liu Biao scolded loudly, and suddenly saw Wei Yan covered in white cloth, and then remembered that he was seriously injured and had not recovered, but was recuperating in the camp, no matter what, just to see that he was in danger and came to the rescue regardless of his injuries. Then you know that this person is loyal

"Get up" Liu Biao felt extremely tired for a while, and even saying a word seemed to consume all his energy.

Wen Ping, the general under his command, glanced at the lord and stepped forward to help Wei Yan, who couldn't knock on the ground.

At this moment, Liu Biao suddenly felt a fire in the distance, and when he looked at it, he saw that it was the direction of his camp. Shocked and angry in his heart, he shouted coldly, "Go!" ”

When Liu Biao returned to the camp, the camp had already been on fire everywhere, and it could not be saved, and the grain and grass in the camp were so stunned that they had obviously been burned in the fire.

Suddenly, Huang Zhong's eyes lit up, and he pointed to Liu Biao. "Lord, look!"

Liu Biao had doubts in his heart, and when he looked at it, he caught fire. Surprised to see a road of soldiers and horses stationed not far north of the camp, he immediately became even more angry in his heart, and shouted, "All the troops are on alert!" ”

Unexpectedly, this army did not come to fight Liu Biao. I saw that the leader of the general took a step forward. Clasped his fists and said, "Liu makes Jun well, Zhao Yun is ordered by Situ to wait for the envoy here!" ”

"You!" Liu Biao was angry in his heart, pointing to the burning camp and asking angrily, "You did this?" ”

Zhao Yun smiled faintly. He hugged his fist and said, "Situ wants to tell the king to withdraw from the army, don't raise troops again, and he is afraid that the king will not obey, so he sent Zhao Yun to burn the grain and grass of the king, so that the king can retire."

"What a retired soldier, what a Jiang Zhe!" Liu Biao pushed away the three generals Wen Ping, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan in front of him, and said with an angry face, "You go back and say to that Jiang Zhe, I, Liu Biao, thought that I had never harmed his heart, that is, I was captured on the battlefield, and I also regarded myself as a guest, and I didn't want to be embarrassed, but I didn't expect him to think about reciprocating, and "Also, Jiang Shouyi prides himself on being benevolent and righteous, but what he has done can't help but make people feel chilling, burning our army's grain and grass on the one hand, and telling me to retire from the army on the other?" Without food and grass, how can you tell me to wait for an army of 50,000 to survive?! You should tell Jiang Zhe to talk about it!

Retirement? Okay, although I, Liu Mu, am not talented, but I can't sit back and watch Cao Thief cause trouble to me again, you go back and tell Jiang Zhe that he burns my grain and grass, and I will transfer grain and grass from Jingzhou again! I'm here to see it. I, Liu Jingsheng, don't want to withdraw from the army, no one can force me to withdraw from the army, and neither can he Jiang Zhe and Jiang Shouyi! ”

Facing Liu Biao's angry shout, Zhao Yun shook his head, took out something from his arms, and said lightly. "What do you want to do with it, and it's not too late to read the letter between Situ and the envoy," he said. He took a few steps forward and handed the letter out.

Huang Zhong glanced at Liu Biao, and immediately rode out of the horse, and grabbed the letter in front of Zhao Yun.

"Next time" Looking at Huang Zhong intently, Zhao Yun said in a low voice, "Next time, I'll wait for another showdown!" With that, Hui Jun shouted, "Go!" Return to Lushan! ”

Chang Jiang, Zhao Zilong, a fierce enemy,

Huang Zhong felt Zhao Yun's fighting spirit, smiled bitterly in his heart, and returned to the battle to hand over the letter in his hand to Liu Biao.

Liu Zhijun personally enlightened, Jiang Zhe worshipped,"

Looking at the few numbers on the cover, Liu was blue and white on the surface, and suddenly a strong hatred flashed on his face. was about to grit his teeth and tear it apart, but there was a hesitation in his heart.

"Alas!" With a deep sigh, Liu Biao gently tore open the cover. Pull out the letter inside.

However, this look made a flash of surprise in his eyes, and Fang Liang beside him was a little puzzled.

After a full half of the ring, Liu Biao slowly put away Jiang Zhe's letter, hid it in his arms, and sighed in his mouth. "Jiang Zhe, a genius in the world. What can be met but not possible. It's a pity to live in Cao Thief."

"Lord, what did Jiang Zhe write?" Cutting Liang said suspiciously.

"Hehe" Seeing Liu's angry expression on the surface, Lang Lang smiled and turned to Wen Ping and said, "Zhongye, lead people to put out the fire quickly, if the fire spreads, the last grain left by this person for us will also be burned, then we can't blame him,"

"Is there still grain and grass in the camp that has not been burned?" Wen Cheng was shocked.

"Jiang Shouyi has always done what he says, and he will definitely not deceive me!" Liu Biao patted the place where Jiang Zhe's letter was hidden on his chest and said.

"Yes, the last general will go!" Wen Cheng immediately led thousands of people to put out the fire.

"The more so" the more pity it is, just looking at Wen Ping and the others far away, Liu Biao sighed, and then a heavy hatred flashed on his face, and he shouted coldly. "Yuan Highway! Want to sit back and enjoy it? I, Liu Biao, don't let you get your wish! ”

"Yuan Shu?" Fang Liang asked in surprise, "What does this matter have to do with Yuan Highway?" ”

"Zirou doesn't know, this thief took advantage of my army to send troops to Sizhou, and actually raised troops to attack my city, which should be hateful!"

Fang Liang's eyes flashed with surprise, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said in a condensed voice, "I understand." This must be Jiang Zhe's plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, in order to retreat my Jingzhou soldiers and horses, he persuaded Yangzhou Yuan Shu to raise troops to attack me, so that Cao Thief should have no worries! ”

Liu Biao opened his mouth, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a shout from Wen Ping in the distance.

"My lord, there is indeed a place in the camp that has not been fired, and there is a lot of grain and grass piled up. If I save some, it will be enough for me to wait back to Jingzhou

"Good!" Liu was overjoyed, and then said with a wry smile, "Jiang Zhe, I really hate him," he turned to Jing Liang and said. "Even if it's a ploy to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf. It's not necessarily Jiang Shouyi's idea, Cao Thief has a lot of talents, how can no one think of such a plan? Moreover, Yuan Shu has no subordinates, and he has long had the heart of Jingzhou, hum! It's not going to make him feel good this time! ”

"Lord" Fang Liang said with a hurried face, "This is Jiang Zhe's plan, now the Cao thief is the first evil, why don't you make peace with Yuan Shu, and then you will understand this person after defeating the Cao thief!" Lord. You might as well wait for us to attack Lushan again, then Jiang Zhe will be defenseless, this place is only three or four days away from Yingchuan, if Yingchuan is broken, Xu Du will be under control, lord, can not tolerate the national thief! ”

"I've made up my mind, I don't need to say more!" Liu Biao said lightly. Jing Liang's face froze, and he was silent. How could he have imagined what Liu Biao was thinking now?

The heirloom jade base I was looking for "turned out to be in the hands of Yuan Shu"

And with this phoenix, Yizhou Gaocheng!

looked at Yuan Shao, the lord who was lying on the couch on his side. Frustrated and said eagerly, "Lord, don't hesitate any longer, if you ask Cao Mengde to free up his hand, it will be extremely difficult to do it, why don't you take advantage of the fact that he is being conquered by the princes of the Three Roads now, and the first one is difficult to take care of." This battle will be won! ”

Seeing Yuan Shao's face hesitant, he sat up and said hesitantly. "But Meng De is my old friend, and now if he starts an army. What does the world think of me? ”

"Everyone in this world says that Cao Mengde is a national thief, if the lord raises troops, it is according to the will of heaven, how can the world say that the lord is not?"

Yuan Shao was about to speak, when suddenly someone outside the door smiled. "The prince is stunned, if the lord wants to achieve great things. It's a once-in-a-lifetime time! If the lord loses this time, I am afraid that he will regret it in the future

"Huh?" Yuan Shao stared at the person who came, and said with a smile, "Yuan Hao, why are you here?" Is there something important? ”

Tian Feng smiled slightly. said to Yuan Shao. "Feng is here to recommend a great talent to the lord!" With that, he turned to the door and said, "Shiyuan." Don't want to meet your lord? ”

In Yuan Shao's stunned eyes, a person under the door slowly entered, and shouted, "Xiangyang Pang Tong." I've seen Yuan Gong."
