The dust of the war in Chencang settled, Lü Bu and others were stationed in Chencang for two days, after leaving Qin Yilu and Zhao Ang to garrison Chencang, Lü Bu led an army of 20,000 and went straight to the street pavilion, when leaving, Zhao Ang gave Lü Bu a letter, saying that he had encountered people who had resistance in the counties, and he could show this letter to the defenders, and the defenders would definitely be obedient.

Sure enough, with Zhao Ang's letter, Lu Bu's army passed everywhere, and all the counties looked down on the wind, and received the generals Yao Qiong, Kong Xin, Li Jun, Wang Ling and other people in Longzhong. In nearly a month, the 20,000 troops led by Lu Bu and Zhang Liao successfully joined forces at Jieting, surrounded Jieting, and the battle was about to break out.

On the other hand, the southern route army dominated by Gao Shun conquered Sanguan, Shangqi, Wangyuan and other places in a row, but was blocked in Jicheng, which was led by Yang Fu and Jiang Xu, who joined the army, and confronted each other in the Tiger Valley hundreds of miles away from Jicheng.

The big tent of the Chinese army, Gao Shun stroked the case with one hand, stroked the knee with the other, stared at the map on the table with his eyes like a torch, and thought to himself in his heart: "This shooting tiger valley is undulating on both sides of the mountains, layers of mountains, the enemy has set up twenty or thirty camps in the valley, if one by one to attack, not only time-consuming, but also troublesome, and waste grain, this Jicheng belongs to the Hanyang County Administration, the defenders are about 5,000 people, now this side has been fighting for more than a month, the casualties have been close to 2,000 people, if you can't capture Jicheng again, break through Hanyang, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete the original plan."

Thinking of this, Gao Shun's heart sank, no matter what, he had to break through the defense of Jicheng, but the defenders had already set up the Tiger Valley full of camps, and if they launched a strong attack, they would definitely lose their troops, so this method would not be used unless it was absolutely necessary.

"General Pepin"

Just as Gao Shun was meditating, Zhang Xiu's voice suddenly came from outside the tent.

Seeing Zhang Xiu coming, Gao Shun greeted him with a heavy expression, and said, "Can you hear clearly?" ”

"I just asked the local people, and they said that there is a small road that leads directly to the main peak of the Tiger Valley."

"Okay, breaking the enemy is today" Gao Shun was overjoyed when he heard this, and stepped into the big tent with Zhang Xiu, and Cao Xing behind them hurriedly followed.

Gao Shun strode to the table, pointed to the map on the case, and said: "Bo Jin, tonight you led the trapping camp to take a small road to besiege Yang Fu on the main peak, remember, you must not attack, if Jiang Xu does not send people to help tomorrow, you will not be too late to attack"

Zhang Xiu responded majestically and said, "If Jiang Xu sends troops to help, what should I do?" ”

Gao Shun glanced up at Zhang Xiu, and Zhengse advised: "Hold on, as long as you hold on for half a day, I will pull out the enemy camp with General Cao Xing, come to support, and then drive the enemy army to the area of Fox."

"Zhang Xiu received the order"

Zhang Xiu knew that he was acting as a bait in this battle, if he could lure Jiang Xu out, he would suffer from the enemy on his back and die for life, but the soldier died for his confidant, Lu Bu treated himself well, even if there was an abyss in front of him, he would not hesitate to jump down.

Looking at the back of Zhang Xiu leaving, Gao Shun shouted: "Bojin, be careful, the winner of this battle lies with you"

Zhang Xiu looked back, nodded solemnly at Gao Shun, and immediately arched his hand: "Two generals, Bojin retires"

——————————————

There is a mountain peak called Crouching Tiger Peak in Jicheng Shooting Tiger Valley, this peak is named because the valley is crooked, looking down from the top of the mountain, and resembles a tiger curled up and sleeping soundly.

In May, the mountains are not too hot, the mountains are full of fire trees and red flowers, and the scenery is beautiful, and the wind is breezy and indescribably comfortable, but Yang Fu's mood is not very good.

Looking at the ten-mile camp of the Bingzhou army in the distance, and listening to the voices of the people in the enemy camp, Yang Fu looked a little anxious.

He has heard of the bravery of Lu Bu's soldiers, and the great battles in the past few days have also made him feel that several encounters have ended in the defeat of his own side, and most of the soldiers and horses brought from Jicheng have been lost, so he can only set up camps along the road to block the enemy's journey.

The west wind was blowing, Yang Fu stood on the top of the mountain in a trance, looked at Gaoshun's camp, and muttered to himself: "If you can delay it for a day, I hope that the grain of the state army will be consumed as soon as possible."

Sighing alone, Yang Fu turned around and returned to the main peak camp, after instructing the soldiers to be vigilant, Yang Fu returned to the tent to cover his head and pretend to sleep, these days of war made Yang Fu's heart numb, did not doze well, after a while, Yang Fu, who was lying on the couch and pretending to sleep, let out a slight snoring sound.

"Oh no, an enemy army has come to rob the camp" "Hurry up and defend" "Line up to meet the enemy, hurry up"

I don't know how long I slept, Yang Fu was woken up by the noise outside the tent, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and was about to send someone to check what the situation was, when he saw Yang Fu's deputy enter the big tent: "My lord, go and take a look, the enemy army is coming to rob the camp"

When Yang Fu heard this, he immediately got up and ran out of the big tent, but he didn't have time to put on his armor.

Looking at the Bingzhou army that surrounded Dazhai, Yang Fu was so angry that his eyebrows were upside down, and he pointed to several captains in charge of defense and scolded angrily: "Where did this enemy army come from? Why didn't you find out until the camp was fenced? When I leave, I told you to be vigilant around you, what are you doing?"

When several captains heard this, they didn't know how to answer, in fact, they didn't expect that the enemy army would break through the encirclement and come to Crouching Tiger Peak.

"Where are the axe hands, pull these people down and cut them down"

Seeing that several lieutenants did not answer, Yang Fu immediately roared angrily at the sword and axe hand behind him.

When the captains heard that Yang Fu was going to kill them, they hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged: "Yang joined the army to spare his life, spare his life, we didn't expect the enemy army to come from the path on the edge of the cliff, that path is quite dangerous, no one has passed all year round, who would have thought that the enemy army would come up"

"Yes, Yang joined the army, we really don't know, I hope to join the army to spare our lives, we are willing to atone for our sins"

Yang Fu's lieutenant general also admonished on the side: "My lord, after several battles, we have lost a lot of men and horses, if these people are killed at this time, I am afraid that there will be no one to command the battle, why not leave them to atone?" ”

Yang Fu snorted coldly, kicked away several captains in front of him, and strode to the front of the village to watch, only to see that the camp at this time had been surrounded on all sides, and it was impossible to break out, Yang Fu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Defeated!" Defeated! ”

The adjutant general immediately stepped forward and put forward a different opinion: "My lord, why don't you break through and ask General Jiang Xu for help"

Yang Fu hurriedly shook his head: "This is the plan of 'encircling Wei to save Zhao', if General Jiang Xu comes to support, Gao Shun will definitely lead a large army to attack the city and pull out the village, and drive General Jiang Xu to the area of Fox, and most of the state army is cavalry fighting, and Foxpan is a plain, if General Jiang Xu is driven to where, I am afraid that the gods will be difficult to save at that time, I will die when I die, why pull General Jiang Xu into the water?" ”

"Don't forget, my lord, General Jiang Xu and you are cousins, if he knows that your lord is besieged in Crouching Tiger Mountain and doesn't need us to ask for help, he will lead a large army to come to help."

Glancing at the deputy general in horror, Yang Fu shouted with tears in his eyes: "Could it be that the sky is going to die in Hanyang?" ”

Yang Fu knew that if Gao Shun was allowed to break through the defense of Shooting Tiger Mountain, Jicheng would become a lonely city, and how could he resist Gao Shun's army with the thousands of soldiers and horses in Jicheng alone. Thinking of this, Yang Fu's heart sank, and he immediately shouted: "Pass the order, break through immediately"

He had to keep Jiang Xu's thousands of men no matter what, otherwise Jicheng really wouldn't have the power to return to the sky.
