Chapter 262: Defeated Yuan Shu

But what he never expected was that fate played a big joke with him, and he was killed, Zhang Xun rode his horse and ran straight to the ambush place, thinking that he could lead Cao Ren to the ambush place, and he saw that he was about to arrive, but at this juncture, Cao Ren quickly chased him, but saw Cao Ren fly up with a knife, the knife was as fast as a shadow, and then ran to Zhang Xun's erection neck, Zhang Xun didn't have time to resist before Cao Ren cut off his head and fell off the horse.

As soon as Zhang Xun died, Cao Ren's soldiers immediately covered up and killed, like a flood, out of control, but at this time he heard a series of cannons, and the ambush soldiers came out in two, Ji Ling on the left, Lei Bo, Qiao Rui and Chen Lan on the right, attacked Cao Ren twice, Cao Ren was caught off guard by this sudden ambush, but fortunately, the morale was in full swing to facilitate the two people to fight, Ji Ling, Lei Bo, Qiao Rui, Chen Lan four generals intercepted Cao Ren to fight, the dead man was waiting for work to suddenly attack, menacing, Cao Ren was difficult to parry for a while, At this time, he saw the back team of people and horses covering up, it turned out that Yuan Shu and Le killed him, the three-way army went straight to Cao Ren, the three-way army, and the five generals attacked Cao Ren, Cao Ren couldn't stop it, and was trapped in the heart.

At this critical moment, but saw a torrent pouring into the formation behind the momentum like a bamboo, and directly besieged Cao Ren's ambush to open a gap, it turned out that Cao Hong was afraid that Cao Ren would lose and bring a large team of men and horses to rescue, Cao Hong quickly tore a hole in the encirclement, and jumped into the battle with Cao Ren side by side, the two fought and retreated and quickly rushed out of the encirclement, Yuan Shu's army was also inconvenient to catch up, and the two reversed each other's victories and defeats, and they withdrew to the camp and drove away

That night, Cao Ren and Cao Hong discussed: "Yuan Shu's elite soldiers and generals are so numerous, how can we last long?" ”

Cao Hong said to Cao Rendao: "Our 20,000 horses and horses are against Yuan Shu. It's not good for us to postpone it! ”

"What do you think we should do?" Cao Ren asked.

Cao Hong then said: "The enemy is outnumbered, if we have such an enemy, we will not have light." It's better to make a surprise attack and inflict heavy damage on the enemy at a small cost. There may be hope for victory, but I wonder what your opinion is? ”

"You mean tonight's raid?" Cao Ren asked.

Cao Hong caught it and said, "Exactly!" What do you think? ”

Cao Ren pondered while pacing: "Yuan Shu came from afar, and he didn't take advantage of today's battle, so they must be tired tonight, of course a surprise attack is a clever plan, it is said that Yuan Shu is cunning, I am afraid that he will be guarded!" ”

"It's easy to do! I will lead a strong army to attack first, and if they are prepared, they will definitely come out to encircle and suppress, and my brother only needs to lead an army behind, and after I lead them out, drive the army forward. From behind, they will not be able to resist the enemy! Cao Hong continued.

Cao Ren said excitedly: "What a clever plan! If they are prepared, they will definitely go out, and if the younger brother leads the army to the expedition, it will be dangerous, so just arrange for a disguise to be you, and the younger brother and I will lead the army together, so that nothing goes wrong! ”

"It's still thoughtful from my brother, so let's hurry up and prepare!" Cao Hong said excitedly.

After that, the two of them went separately to prepare

But it was said that Yuan Shu led the army back to the camp and folded the general Zhang Xun, Yuan Shu was very sad, and wanted Zhang Xun to follow him for so many years. is his own confidant and beloved general, how can he not be sad when he is broken? Yuan Shu secretly swore that if he didn't kill Cao Ren, it would be difficult to solve the hatred in his heart! Yang Hong saw that Yuan Shu was sad and wanted to stop talking, so he was about to leave, but then Yuan Shu stopped him: "You have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

Yang Hong said: "The lord's defeat of General Zhang Xun in today's battle is really unexpected. In today's battle, our two sides have won and lost each other, and it is difficult to determine whether we win or lose, but the lord needs to prevent Cao Ren from attacking late at night! Our army came from afar and fought two battles in a row. People are sleepy and lacking, although Cao Ren is young, he has experienced many battles, and he will not understand the truth of night attacks. We still need to prepare early! ”

Yuan Shu's eyes rolled and said, "It's very good to come!" I'm afraid that he won't come, and tonight is a good time for us to take revenge. Let's go ahead and prepare now! "Then gather the congregation and arrange it.

It was the second watch of the night, but I saw a person wearing a silver kesper, wearing a lion-headed beast-faced silver helmet, wearing a white robe, riding a jujube red war horse, majestic, like a Cao Ren, leading a cavalry of about 1,000 people and horses to Yuan Shu's camp unknowingly, but saw that the whole camp was quiet, only a little bonfire was slowly burning, "Cao Ren" was overjoyed when he saw this, so he slapped the horse and danced the knife and rushed straight to the camp to kill.

When he arrived at the camp, he was not surprised, but he saw that the entire camp was empty, and the people outside the camp tent were all straw men, but when he opened the camp tent, he saw that it was empty. Hurriedly dialed the horse and retreated, at this time only heard a drum, and the soldiers and horses came out in all directions, and the first general held a two-edged three-pointed knife and shouted: "Where to go!" Seeing it as the general Ji Lingye, the fake Cao Ren was very shocked when he saw this, and before he could reflect it, Ji Ling's big knife had arrived, and he beheaded the fake Cao Ren under the horse as soon as he closed it

The back team was all excited when they saw Ji Ling beheading Cao Ren, Ji Ling urged the horse to come closer and was surprised, where is this Cao Ren, is this clearly a nobody, "Fake Cao Ren?" Ji Ling was unconsciously frightened and said, "It's not good, we have been tricked" Ji Ling shouted to the team behind him. Later, Yuan Shu and a large team of people rushed over, hearing Ji Ling shouting in the plan, he didn't know the principle for a while, but at this time, he saw the shouting of killing in front of him, and the real Cao Ren and Cao Hong rushed over with a large team of people and horses, and the fire reflected the sky, Yuan Shu and the generals were shocked.

Cao Ren and Cao Hong led a large team of men and horses to rush over, just met Ji Ling, Cao Ren shook the spirit of the door and took Ji Ling directly, Ji Ling was already frightened and suddenly lost his fighting spirit, the two fought without Shihe Ji Ling could not support the horse and walked back, Cao Ren saw the momentum and chased fiercely, the conflict was like entering a no-man's land, everyone could not stop it, Cao Ren rushed straight to Yuan Shu to kill, Yuan Shu was very frightened when he saw this, and hurriedly turned his horse and fled, how Cao Ren was willing to chase after him, Yuan Shu saw that Cao Ren was chasing after him very quickly, so he shouted: "Who will save me?" ”

At this time, a slash was killed, holding a steel gun, raising his arms and shouting: "Don't panic the bridge to come!" As he spoke, he resisted Cao Renkai, but how could a mere Qiao Rui be Cao Ren's opponent, and he couldn't fight Wuhe, Cao Ren's big knife cut off Qiao Rui's helmet, Qiao Rui ran in a panic, and Cao Ren continued to chase and kill Yuan Shukai.

Yuan Shu saw Cao Ren chasing after him from behind again, and Yuan Shu exclaimed, "Who will save me?" ”

At this time, a person rushed over and said, "Lord, go quickly, the joy is here!" After that, he urged the horse to dance the gun and take Cao Ren directly, and expected that a Le would be Cao Ren's opponent, and if he couldn't fight Wuhe, he couldn't support it, but at this time, he heard someone shouting behind him: "General Le is panicking, Lei Bo and Chen Lan are coming!" It turned out that two deputy generals arrived, and the three of them fought together against Cao Ren, and the fight was less than 20 together, and the three of them couldn't stop it, Cao Ren rushed away from the three of them and continued to look for Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu saw that the generals couldn't stop it, and he was so frightened that his soul was about to fall, at this time he was in a hurry, changed the helmet and armor on his body, changed into the clothes of an ordinary soldier, and ran away on a prancing horse, at this time Cao Ren had already caught up, Cao Ren knocked Yuan Shu's helmet with a knife and said Yuan Shu: "Have you ever seen Yuan Shu?" ”

Yuan Shu trembled and said, "I just saw him running to the side!" Cao Ren couldn't see this person's face clearly in the middle of the night, but he was sure from his outfit that this person was an ordinary soldier, so he didn't think much about it, and went straight to the side to catch Yuan Shu

Yuan Shu saw Cao Ren go away, so he hurriedly turned his horse and galloped forward, just now his heart was in his throat, seeing Cao Ren to the opposite side, he ran forward non-stop, Cao Ren rushed all the way to the side of the path to kill the old man for a long time, but he didn't see Yuan Shu's shadow at all, he knew that Yuan Shu had slipped away, so he turned the horse back and continued to rush back to kill.

Yuan Shu successfully escaped, and the rest of the generals also fought hard to get out of the encirclement, this battle lost the generals, and broke a lot of men and horses, Cao Ren and Cao Hong won a big victory, and Yuan Shu's 50,000 army was killed with less than 30,000 horses, and he was no longer able to attack Dongjun, so he was going back to Nanyang, and then Yang Hong said that Yuan Shu said: "Nanyang is not a place to live for a long time, and if you don't go back!" ”

"I have already thought about it, the Huainan region is vast, the dance is rich, the money and food are sufficient, the population is large, it is really a place to live for a long time, I have long coveted this place, Yangzhou Thorn History Liu Xuan, although you are a relative of the Han family, jealous of evil and hatred, good and benevolent, but narrow-minded can not tolerate people, let alone employ people, can not give full play to the talents of the generals, so although there are many generals, although the troops are sufficient, they can not be fully effective, Liu Miao is not a person who has become a big thing, and he is not a person who is based on the fertile soil, so we will win with a large army!"

Yang Hong nodded after hearing this: "The lord is thinking about it!" ”

Yuan Shu and Yang Hong discussed and decided to rectify the military horses, with Ji Ling and Qiao Rui as the vanguard, Le Jie and Yuan Yin as the middle road, Lei Bo Chen Lan as the queen, and then raised an army of more than 30,000 people to kill Huainan Kailai, but said that Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, was a distant relative of the royal family of the Han Dynasty (the descendant of Liu Wei, the grandson of Liu Fei, the king of Qi Mourning), Liu Miao was a native of Muping, Donglai County (now Weifang City, Shandong Province), when he was 19 years old, because his cousin Liu Wei was taken hostage by bandits, Liu Miao in order to rescue his cousin, gathered more than ten people and mixed into the den of thieves, He became famous after beheading the bandit leader and successfully rescuing his uncle. Because of his performance, he was deeply loved by the villagers, so he was elected as the official of Liu Xiang.

After becoming an official, Liu Miao was highly praised for his iron face and incorruptibility, and even among the villagers at that time, it was rumored that as long as he could get Liu Dai (his own brother) and Liu Xuan, it was equivalent to getting a dragon and a unicorn. It was also because of these achievements that the imperial court at that time paid great attention to them, so he ordered Liu Miao to take over the Yangzhou Assassin History, which was vacant due to the death of his predecessor Taishou. In order to dominate Yangzhou, Shouchun was set as the base, and there were generals Fan Neng, Yu Mi, Zhang Ying, Zhu Rong, Xue Li, etc., and Xu Shao and others were heard. Don't be afraid, I heard that his previous attack on Dongjun was defeated, so he turned to attack Yangzhou, could it be that he didn't know the talents of Yangzhou? I am willing to fight against Yuan Shu, and I am willing to be punished if I am defeated! (To be continued......)
