Zhang Fei led the army to fight with the Han army led by Xiahou Yuan at the mouth of the valley, and on the top of the valley, Guan Yu sat on a big rock, his brows furrowed, staring at the victorious Han army.

In the early years, he also had contact with the Han army, and knew that their combat power was strong, but Guan Yu just didn't know that after several years, the overall combat power of the Han army not only did not decrease at all, but became stronger and stronger.

The battle with the Jingzhou army, if it were replaced by other armies, although it could be won in the end, the proportion of casualties between the two sides would not be so huge.

At the forefront of the Jingzhou army was the Han infantry.

In terms of slashing and stabbing, although the infantry is much stronger than the cavalry, it has a premise, that is, the two sides are in one place.

But when the Jingzhou army charged, the powerful charging power of the cavalry had been exerted, in this case, the Han army could still maintain the array, and the counterattack launched quickly made Guan Yu very unhappy about this ambush.

The Han army, which was far away from Zhang Fei's troops and horses, seemed to have only five or six thousand men at most.

The news reported by the scouts was that the Han army had touched 30,000 soldiers and horses.

It can be seen that this Han army is just a vanguard.

The Han army on the opposite side repelled Zhang Fei and followed him into the valley, Guan Yu really didn't know whether to set fire to Zhuge Liang's strategy, or to wait for the main force of the Han army to arrive before setting fire.

Sitting on the big rock, looking at the Han army outside the valley, Guan Yu took a deep breath and shouted behind him: "Someone!" ”

One of his own soldiers heard his shout, stepped forward, and stood behind him with his fists clenched.

His eyes were still on the array of the Han army outside the valley, and Guan Yu said to the soldier: "Go to find the emperor uncle immediately and report the battle here!" ”

"No!" The soldiers answered, turned and ran down the mountain.

More than half an hour later, Liu Bei, who was leading the soldiers and horses slowly, was rewarded by the soldiers sent by Guan Yu.

In the battle of Bowang Gukou, Zhang Fei's Jingzhou army did not take any advantage, but the Han army, in this battle, let the Jingzhou army know that they were facing an opponent who could not be conquered by their strength.

Knowing that Zhang Fei lost the first battle, Liu Bei turned his head and glanced at Zhuge Liang on the side.

To his surprise, Zhuge Liang just shook the feather fan slowly, and there was no surprise on his face at all.

"Mr. Zhuge !" Seeing Zhuge Liang's indifferent expression, Liu Bei asked him: "The Han army is only the vanguard, and they have defeated the third brother, how can they lead their main force to the valley?" ”

"Uncle Huang!" Shaking the feather fan, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei: "The Han army won the first battle, General Zhang must be unconvinced in his heart, and the fight between the Han army, I am afraid that there will be two more!" The Han army must not be far from the Bolong Valley, and when the two armies fight several times, the Han army will rush to the mouth of the valley, and it is only an hour to enter the valley! ”

After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei frowned tightly and did not say anything more.

After looking at the thatched house, Zhuge Liang was invited out, and Liu Bei was convinced of this sage who had never been famous but had been famous for a long time.

But now they are facing the Han army, not other opponents, although Liu Bei believes in Zhuge Liang, he is somewhat apprehensive in his heart.

He had contact with the Han army, and in his opinion, the army under Liu Wei should not be looked at from an ordinary point of view at all.

Riding a war horse and moving forward slowly, Liu Bei's face was not good-looking.

The battle that is about to take place in the future, in Liu Bei's view, is full of uncertainty.

Leading the team forward slowly, Liu Bei did not intend to get too close to Bowang.

As Sima Yi expected, Liu Bei didn't want to be too close to the battlefield, and the battle ahead only had to be handed over to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, all he had to do was to supervise the battle in front of him from a distance in the most appropriate place.

Liu Bei led the army to move forward slowly, and his whereabouts had already reached the ears of Sima Yi, who rushed to Bowang with Xiahoudun's army.

The scouts sent out turned back one after another, and every move of Liu Bei's soldiers and horses fell into the eyes of the Han scouts.

Knowing that Liu Bei's army was advancing towards the boundary some distance from Bowang, Sima Yi frowned, and said to Xiahoudun on the side: "General, Liu Bei leads the army, stationed in the territory far away from Bowang, our army should allocate a team of soldiers and horses, bypass Bowang, and go to rob the camp!" ”

"Zhongda led 10,000 soldiers and horses forward, Bowang was on the front line, and handed it over to General Ben!" Looking ahead, Xiahoudun said to Sima Yi: "The number of Jingzhou troops is not as good as our army, and the combat strength of the soldiers is not the same. ”

Xiahoudun led the army to Bolong alone, and Sima Yi was really a little uneasy.

Turning his head to look at him, Sima Yi's brows were tightly locked, and after a while, he spoke: "The general is going to Bolong, remember not to enter the valley lightly." According to a certain expectation, Liu Bei must have set up ambushes on both sides of the valley, and when our army enters the valley, the retreat of the army will be cut off! ”

"Got it!" Nodding, Xiahou replied, but from his expression, Sima Yi saw a little disapproval.

Sima Yi was very uneasy about Xiahou Dan's expression, and reminded him again: "General, remember, don't rush into the valley!" ”

"Zhongda rest assured!" Sima Yi's reminder obviously made Xiahoudun a little impatient, he waved his hand and said to Sima Yi: "A certain has his own plan!" ”

Staring at Xiahoudun, although Sima Yi still couldn't let go of it in his heart, he didn't want to say anything more, and ordered to a personal soldier behind him: "Select 10,000 soldiers and horses, bypass Bolong with a certain person, and go to intercept and kill Liu Bei!" ”

The Han army that followed Xiahoudun on the expedition did not have a large number of cavalry, only more than 5,000 people.

Xiahoudun insisted on Sima Yi leading all the cavalry to go, but Sima Yi categorically refused, and only selected 1,000 cavalry, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were all infantry.

led 10,000 soldiers and horses to divide his troops with Xiahoudun, and Sima Yi's speed was much faster than that of Xiahoudun.

Following Sima Yi to lead the army around Bolong, it was the former Cao Cao's fierce general Ban, riding his horse forward, Yu Ban asked Sima Yi: "Zhongda, we have to make a detour to intercept and kill Liu Bei, and the distance we have to travel is much farther than that of General Xiahou, so why don't you lead all the cavalry, but only bring a thousand cavalry?" ”

"General Yu!" Turning his head to Yu Ban and smiling slightly, Sima Yi said: "We are strange soldiers, Liu Bei must not have expected that the army will go to Bolong, but our army will divide its troops to attack and kill him from behind." If we bring all the cavalry, the Jingzhou scouts will immediately find out that something is wrong. We only brought a thousand cavalry, and even if the Jingzhou scouts found out about our whereabouts, they wouldn't be able to tell where we were going for a while! ”

After listening to Sima Yi's words, Yu Ban nodded and didn't ask any more.

When Sima Yi was under Cao Cao, his appearance was very mediocre, and many Cao army generals didn't take him seriously at all.

It wasn't until this moment that Yu Ban understood why Liu Wei asked him to follow the army to control Xiahoudun when he was ordering generals.

With Xiahoudun's martial arts, encountering Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he had to fight the battlefield, but when it came to strategy, Xiahoudun was not very good at it.

Leading 10,000 soldiers and horses, with the coordination of Yu Ban, Sima Yi marched all the way in the direction away from Bolong.

With the remaining 15,000 Han troops, Xiahoudun confidently advanced towards Bolong.

As he was marching, he saw a fast horse rushing towards him, and on the horseback was a cavalryman wearing the armor of the Han army.

Seeing the cavalry from afar, Xiahoudun's eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not stop the march of the war horse, and still led the army forward slowly.

It was the sergeant sent by Xiahou Yuan who rushed towards the army on horseback to deliver the good news.

When he arrived at a place twenty or thirty steps away from Xiahoudun, the cavalryman reined in his horse, turned over and jumped off his horse, and quickly ran to Xiahoudun's approach, clasped his fists and bowed to him and said: "General Qiyu, General Xiahouyuan led our army to the mouth of Bolong Valley, and happened to encounter the five thousand Jingzhou cavalry led by Zhang Fei. The two sides fought a battle, our army lost more than 100 people, killed more than 600 enemy troops, Zhang Fei led the army to garrison in the valley, General Xiahou Yuan asked the general, whether to attack the Jingzhou army again, or wait for the general to lead the troops to arrive? ”

Knowing that Xiahou Yuan had won the first battle, a satisfied smile appeared on Xiahou Yuan's face.

Under Cao Cao, he also led the army to fight with the Han army many times, and he had a deep understanding of the combat power of the Han army.

However, the trouble he caused to the Han army was not small, he was captured by the Han army in Liaodong and sent to Luoyang, he originally thought that he would definitely die, but he didn't expect that Liu Wei did not kill them, but let Xun Yu and Cheng Yu comfort everyone, showing their hearts to solicit.

At the beginning of Liu Bian's service, Xiahoudun and many generals and scribes under Cao Cao still had a plan in their hearts, that is, Liu Bian would not reuse them, after all, they had caused a lot of trouble to the Han army in their early years.

But what Xiahoudun didn't expect was that Liu Wei did not idle them because of these, but when Liu Bei led the army to attack, he did not hesitate to allocate 30,000 soldiers and horses to him, and he led the army to meet him.

What made Xiahoudun and the generals and scribes who were originally subordinate to Cao Cao feel grateful was that the generals sent by Liu Wei were all Cao Cao's subordinates back then, and obviously did not have the slightest suspicion of them.

When the leader left Luoyang, Xiahoudun had been thinking about how to win in this battle.

As a new member of the Great Han, he must make a meritorious deed, so that Liu Wei knows that it is not a wrong choice to reuse him and other people who were originally under Cao Cao's command.

Xiahou Yuan won the first battle, and Xiahou Yuan was also faintly proud in his heart.

After all, Xiahou Yuan was his brother, and he was ordered by him to lead the army as a vanguard to intercept the Jingzhou army.

"Inform Miaocai that he should lead the army to confront the Jingzhou army at the mouth of the valley, and wait until General Ben leads the army to arrive, and then defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop!" Staring ahead, Xiahoudun said to the cavalry who came to report the news: "If you want to be good, you must not act rashly, let alone lead the army to chase after the valley without authorization!" ”
