447 And he shall be taken alive

After the personnel arrived, Cao Ren immediately raised the account, and he first said: "Everyone, now Liu Bei is leading an army of more than 10,000 people to attack, the momentum is violent, not to be underestimated, and I hope to work together to resist a strong enemy." ”

"Liu Bei, the weaver and the peddler, how to be afraid!" Xiahoudun said disdainfully.

"How can the public forget the defeat of Jì Bowangpo?" Strategist Chen Jiao couldn't help but remind.

Xiahoudun made a big red face, glared at Chen Jiao angrily, and said angrily: "Bowangpo is Zhuge Liang's trick, can he put another fire here?" ”

Chen Jiao's face was full of displeasure, and he was about to refute it, when the bloody Niu Jin came out of the column and asked: "The last general is willing to lead the army out of the city and fight with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!" ”

"No, General Niu Jin is brave. However, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are strong in martial arts and have experienced a hundred battles, so they cannot fight with them unless they are generals. Chen Jiao poured cold water again.

"Are you saying that my old cow's martial arts are mediocre?" Niu Jin's face also turned red, and a pair of bull's eyes almost didn't pop out.

"I definitely didn't mean that, Nanjun is in danger, I must come up with a perfect solution." Chen Jiaodao.

"So timid, do you want to give up the city to the big-eared thief?" Xiahou said angrily.

"With the courage of the horseman, can you keep the city?" Chen Jiao retorted.

"Don't be noisy, may I ask Mr. Chen Jiao what is the best plan?" Cao Ren waved his hand and asked.

"Hold on and don't fight."

"Wouldn't it make people laugh when the soldiers come to the city without fighting, and the last general is willing to go!" Niu Jin asked again.

If you don't fight a battle, it seems that you can't talk about it, and it will really be a joke in the future, Cao Ren finally did not adopt Chen Jiao's opinion, and ordered: "General Niu Jin, you will lead a thousand soldiers and horses tonight, take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold, attack the big camp, and frustrate the spirit." ”

"The last general commands!" Niu Jin said excitedly.

"If this battle is successful, it will be General Niu's first credit." Cao Ren encouraged.

But it was said that after Liu Bei took down the camp here, Zhuge Liang was not idle for a moment, and the first thing he arranged to do was to secretly send people to carefully find those tunnels.

I don't know if I don't look for it, I was shocked when I found it, it turned out that after Zhou Yu withdrew from the army, Cao Ren actually dug two tunnels from the city, plus the original one, there were three tunnels in total.

Of course, Zhou Yu's original one had been filled with water and had been scrapped, otherwise, there would have been four tunnels.

Liu Bei's side is well arranged, and he also raises the account, and Wang Baoyu, who has slept a lot, is naturally among them.

Liu Bei, who had already captured the four counties, was radiant, and his mood for this campaign was relatively relaxed, and he asked with a smile: "Now that my army has come to the city, what are your best plans?" ”

"Big brother, I would like to call a war under the city of Nanjun!" Guan Yu immediately surrendered his hand and asked for his life.

"Big brother, I'm willing to help the second brother!" Zhang Fei also stood out of the queue with pride.

Well, Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head and asked Zhuge Liang, "What does the military advisor want?" ”

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang simply vetoed, "No!" ”

Liu Bei's expression was stunned, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were of course unhappy, Zhang Fei was a straight man, and shouted: "Military advisor, I know your ability, but leading troops to fight is just a spelling, Nanjun is no better than other small cities, if you don't go to call for war, is it possible to let Cao Ren take the initiative to sacrifice the city?" ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "General Yide, don't be impatient, today our army is coming, Cao Ren is afraid, he will not rush out of the city to meet the battle, and the two generals will go in vain." However, tonight is the time for meritorious service. ”

"Strategist, can you make meritorious service by sitting in the tent?" Zhang Fei asked bluntly.

"You have to lure the enemy out of the city, right?" Guan Yu also asked.

"The second brother and the third brother don't say much, and listen to how the military advisor arranges." Liu Bei said.

Zhuge Liang also learned badly from Wang Baoyu, pretending to pinch his fingers and frowning, his expression was very rich, and finally said: "I calculated that Cao Ren would come to attack the big tent tonight, and the two generals could each lead a thousand soldiers and horses, and set up an ambush along the road, and their lord would not be killed, but must be captured alive." ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both laughed, capturing alive sounded interesting, which could fully show the skills of the two. So, the two happily took the order and left, and when night fell, they quietly buried two lines of soldiers and horses on the side of the road leading to the big tent.

"Sir, how do you know that Cao Ren will come to attack and fight tonight?" Wang Baoyu didn't understand either, and couldn't help but inquire curiously after the account was issued.

"There is no moonlight tonight, we will wait for the army to just gain a foothold, if we don't take advantage of this time to sneak attack, when will we wait." Zhuge Liang said confidently.

"Why do you have to sneak attack, just call the board and it's over?" Wang Baoyu disagreed.

"Hehe, the two generals, Yun Chang and Yide, are both capable of fighting battles, how can Cao Ren not have any scruples?"

"So, those tunnels are reserved for Cao Jun's sneak attack?" Wang Baoyu understood and asked.

"That's exactly what it means." Zhuge Liang nodded.

Zhuge Liang's estimate was right, Cao Ren arranged it like this, he thought that those tunnels were very secret, Liu Bei's army had just arrived for a few hours, and he might not be able to think of these things.

But he didn't expect Zhuge Liang to be as meticulous as silk, and he was thinking about this problem on the way here, and the first thing he did after arriving at the destination was to look for these tunnels, and the exit had already been discovered by him.

In the middle of the night, Niu Jin led a thousand soldiers and horses, quietly entered the tunnel, and marched in three ways, preparing to launch a surprise attack on Liu Bei's camp.

After walking underground for an hour, Niu Jin's team went out of the tunnel, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly admired Cao Ren's cleverness.

Liu Bei's military camp not far away was quiet, the soldiers seemed to be sleeping, Niu Jin was overjoyed, and hurriedly and quietly concentrated his troops in one place and moved closer to the camp in front.

When he was less than 500 meters away from the camp, Niu Jin raised the steel fork and was about to shout and rush! But I heard a few drums, and suddenly a light lit up in front of me, and a team suddenly appeared in front of me.

"General Niu Jin, Kong Ming has been waiting for you for a long time." Immediately, a four-wheeled cart was pushed out by the soldiers, and a person sat on it, with a lupine scarf, which was Zhuge Liang.

Niu Jin immediately realized that he had been tricked, and hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of his troops, but at this moment, two groups of men and horses suddenly appeared on both sides, quickly closing in, and surrounded the more than 1,000 people he brought.

At the same time, two generals also appeared, one with a red face and long hair, red phoenix eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, holding a green dragon glaive knife, with a dignified appearance, and the other leopard head with ringed eyes, swallow jaw and tiger whiskers, holding a zhangba snake spear, majestic, it is the famous Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

When Niu Jin saw this scene, he was completely panicked, and he knew that he was not an opponent of one or the other. However, it is definitely not his style to be restrained, just listen to him roar, urge the horses under his crotch, raise the three steel forks, and rush towards Zhuge Liang.
