Chapter 571: Besieging Wancheng
I have to say that Liu Biao's hand is very good, originally he Cao Cao in order to solve Liu Biao's big scourge in one fell swoop, it was a net of heaven and earth, no matter how capable Liu Biao is, it will never want to escape.
But now that he has played such a play, he Cao Cao had to take someone to extinguish the fire, which also made the original arrangement broken in an instant, and also gave him Liu Biao such a glimmer of life.
This is also the first backhand left by his Liu Yao, who was originally prepared to let this Liu Biao burn this grain and grass at a critical moment, catch him by surprise Cao Cao, and lay a foundation for the victory of this war.
But now there is no way, now that his identity has been discovered, then he can only launch it in advance, and at the same time provide a cover for his evacuation.
Although Lu Bu's army is strong, but in this case, the combat effectiveness is also greatly reduced, not to mention the previous few loud noises, it has already scared them a lot, especially after seeing that the place where the granary of Wancheng is on fire, where do they have any heart to fight at this moment.
The granary caught fire, which meant that they had no food to eat, and if they had no food to eat, they were a dead end, and for a while, more than half of the people and horses had an old desperate thought in their hearts. If it weren't for the majesty and strength of Na Lu Bu, I'm afraid it would have been chaotic at this moment.
It is precisely for this reason that in the end, he Liu Biao was really killed all the way out of the south gate from the north city gate, of course, the price paid was his Liu Biao's original 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the one who was still following at this moment was already less than 30,000.
In other words, he Liu Biao brought out 250,000 soldiers and horses this time. Maybe that's all there is left. Now he Liu Biao is in addition to a huge Jingzhou, and there are not many people left in Jingzhou, he is almost a lonely person at this moment. It's not as strong as it used to be.
But he knew very well that it was worth the price he paid. In the near future, this big man will definitely be pacified, and when the time comes, no amount of troops will be a burden, but it will attract the suspicion of others. It's better to have nothing to do and live lightly, and be a free prince. Happy to be idle, so as to prepare for your descendants.
"Lord, are you alright?" Finally rushed out of Wancheng. Wen Ping was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, at this moment he had several more scars on his body, blood mixed with dirt, and he looked unusually wolf. But at this moment, he obviously didn't have time to take care of himself. Turning his head to look at Liu Biao, who was already out of breath, he asked with some concern.
At this moment, this Liu Biao is not much better, his hair is disheveled, and his clothes are disheveled, which is a little better than a beggar. With his meager martial arts, if it weren't for the protection of Wen Ping and Wang Wei, even if he didn't die at this moment, I am afraid he would be injured a lot.
"I'm fine!" Liu Biao was also shocked at the moment. This is really dangerous, and I almost confessed to this Wancheng by myself.
"My lord. Now is not the time to talk about this, Lu Bu's army in the rear will soon catch up, let's hurry up and escape. Kuai Yue on the side gasped and said, he is a scribe, and his background is worse than that Liu Biao, and at this moment, he is half a pound and eight taels with his Liu Biao.
"Yes, my lord, if you don't leave, it's too late!" Cai Mao on the side said hurriedly.
"Okay, let's head south, as long as we can get to the vicinity of the general's camp, we will be safe!" Liu Biao didn't talk nonsense, and immediately ordered, and the group headed towards Liu Yao's camp in the south.
Today's incident happened so suddenly, even he Liu Biao didn't expect it, so he didn't expect Liu Yao to get the news in time and come to support him, and he still had to rely on themselves.
"Cousin Liu's old husband is leaving!" The Lu Bu pursuers behind him quickly caught up, and roared angrily. Today, he was not only tricked by this Liu Biao, but also put him on a show, and now if he is allowed to escape again, then where will he put Lu Bu's face.
Originally, with the speed of his Lu Bu Chitu horse, he was able to catch up with Liu Biao very quickly, but helplessly, the army protected Liu Biao tightly, even if he Lu Bu was very capable, it was impossible for him Lu Bu to rush into the enemy formation alone, and directly took Liu Biao's head.
Among the ten thousand troops, he went to the head of the general, as the number one military general in the world, he naturally had this ability, but it was almost always in the case of the defeat of the enemy, and now although this Liu Biao is really fleeing, it is obvious that the military formation is still there, and there is no disorder at all, and he Lu Bu has no way to start if he wants to.
After Lu Bu roared angrily, Liu Biao's army did not stop, but ran faster. After all, no one would be stupid enough to stay and die, not to mention that the one behind him was Lu Bu, the killing god, so it would be strange if he didn't run.
"Lord, you see, there is a flag in front, it may be that the general has come to meet us!" After the two sides chased me out for a few miles, Cai Mao suddenly shouted with joy.
Liu Biao squinted and looked over with somewhat vague eyes, and sure enough, he saw a huge banner, and it was very obvious that there was a large army coming towards them, and the number would definitely not be small.
Immediately, everyone was overjoyed, there could be such a large number of people in this place, except for him Liu Yao, who else was there. Originally, they were worried that if they were caught up by Na Lu Bu, they might be dead, but now that Liu Yao's army helps, what else is there to be afraid of.
"No, lord, that's not the general's soldiers and horses, it's Cao Cao's!" However, before everyone could come out of the mood of escaping from death, they were broken by the words of Wen Ping.
"What!" Liu Biao exclaimed, looked at it again, and suddenly his face became miserable and white. On the banner of the army in the distance, it was not the Liu character they imagined, but the big Cao character.
"Liu Biao's old horseman, Xiahou Chun has been waiting here for a long time on the orders of the lord!" The leader suddenly yelled. And this person's face is full of hideousness, plus one eye, it is not Xiahou Chun under Cao Cao.
In an instant, Liu Biao's heart cooled down like this, and his heart was suddenly filled with despair and waiting for me. He never thought that Cao Cao would actually leave a back hand to wait for him here, and he didn't know when Xiahou Chun, who was staying in Xuchang, Yanzhou, and the 50,000 army were transferred. In order to completely cut off his Liu Biao's way of life.
No wonder he didn't even hesitate when he took people to save food before, it turned out that it had been arranged a long time ago, and he was waiting for him Liu Biao to throw himself into the net. This time, I'm afraid he is really in a catastrophe.
"Hahaha. General Xiahou, you came just in time, hurry up and stop this damn old puppet Liu for me! Lu Bu, who was in the back, immediately laughed when he saw that the person in front of him was actually Xiahou Chun
"Wen Hou can rest assured." Xiahou Chun didn't talk nonsense, and directly led the soldiers and horses directly to kill that Liu Biao, and now they all have the advantage, there is no need to talk nonsense with him Liu Biao.
"Zhang Fei is here, who will fight with me!"
"Zhao Yun is here. Don't want to hurt anyone! ”
"Ma Chao is here, Lu Bu will take his life!"
Just when Liu Biao was about to despair, suddenly three angry roars were inserted into the battlefield so forcefully.
Everyone was shocked. Hurriedly looked in the direction of the source of the sound, only to see three armies rushing out from the east, west and south directions, with at least 300,000 people, and the three leading people were that Zhang Fei. ZHANG Yun. Ma Chao is a three-member general.
After Xiahou Chun saw these three people rushing over, he was immediately a little frightened, he never thought that how this Liu Yao's army knew the situation here, and he dared to come to the rescue in such a timely manner.
For a while, even he Xiahou Chun didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he could only stop chasing and killing that Liu Biao and leaned towards Lu Bu's side. What are you kidding, if you still insist on killing Liu Biao now, I'm afraid you won't wait for him to succeed. His own life is not guaranteed.
After Lu Bu saw these three people, the expressions on his face were also extremely strange. It seems to be angry and a little excited, and it is unpredictable.
Seeing this, Liu Biao, who had already been desperate, rekindled his hope, and took advantage of the opportunity of Xiahou Chun to stop, and hurriedly led the army towards Ma Chao, who was closest to him, and at this time he also knew that at least his little life was saved.
Soon, Xiahou Chun and Lu Bu were together, and the three of them would also be together. What is strange is that there is no movement on both sides, and there is a strange confrontation there.
He Lu Bu didn't do it, it was because he had scruples, after all, there were three generals on the other side who were second only to him, and there were at least 300,000 troops, and if he really fought, his side would definitely lose.
As for Zhao Yun not doing anything here, it was purely because Liu Yao had already given the order, one was mainly to save people, and the rest would wait for him to arrive.
About the time of the confrontation for a cup of tea, the atmosphere became more and more strange, and Liu Yaoshuai finally arrived with the rest of the soldiers and horses.
"I've seen the general, thank you for saving your life!" As soon as Liu Biao saw Liu Yao coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and thanked.
Liu Yao hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, "Uncle Huang, don't be polite, this is what I should do." ”
Liu Biao let out a long sigh and said, "It's a pity that my identity was still recognized, and I launched the plan in advance, only burning the grain and grass in Wancheng, and the rest of the things were not completed." ”
Liu Yao also sighed when he heard this, and said, "Uncle Huang doesn't have to blame himself, it's enough to burn the grain and grass in this Wancheng, but it's a pity that he lost so many brothers." ”
Liu Biao listened, his eyes were also a little gloomy, this time he lost 200,000 soldiers and horses, it was impossible not to be sad.
"Uncle Huang, you better go down and rest first, and I'll leave it here!" Liu Yao glanced at the remaining people here at Liu Biao, and said with a frown.
Liu Biao was about to be unable to hold it at the moment, so he arched his hand at Liu Yao, and then took his men and horses and headed towards Liu Yao's camp in the rear, where they were no longer needed.
After Liu Biao left, Liu Yao stepped forward, glanced at Lu Bu with an angry face, and laughed, "Wen Hou hasn't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" ”
Lu Bu looked at Liu Yao's smile, eager to swallow him alive, and said angrily, "I didn't expect that you, Liu Yao, you're so despicable, and you actually play this kind of trick!" ”
At this moment, Lu Bu's anger towards him Liu Yao in his heart can be said to be extreme, and he is still a little worried about the grain and grass in Nawan City, if those grains and grass are finished, then he Lu Bu will be uncomfortable.
Liu Yao smiled indifferently, "Lu Bu, this battlefield is naturally doing everything, I can defeat you with tricks, that can only mean that your skills are not as good as others, and you can't complain about others!" ”
"You!" Lu Bu, who was ridiculed by Liu Yao like this, almost couldn't help it, so he wanted to kill him directly and cut that Liu Yao into eighteen pieces. But before he Lu Bu could make a move, he was stopped by Chen Gong on the side, and it was too unwise to do it with that Liu Yao now.
Although Lu Bu was unwilling, he still endured it helplessly, I have to say that since he had Chen Gong, his Lu Bu's endurance has been much stronger
"Oh, you're Chen Gong!" Liu Yao glanced at Chen Gong and asked with some curiosity, in that Lu Bu's army, there is no second person who can stop him Lu Bu except him Chen Gong.
"Exactly! What advice does the general have! Chen Gong replied without changing his face, and now he can see that Liu Yao doesn't seem to have the intention of doing it now, so he is also a lot more relieved.
"Advice doesn't count, I just want to know how you can see that Liu Biao is my person?"
Chen Gong heard a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth, and said nonchalantly, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that Liu Biao is really not good at acting, Liu Biao has always been timid and afraid, but this time it is indeed unusually brave, such a strange behavior, I naturally have to be wary of him." ”
"That's all?"
"Of course, there is also a point thanks to you, the general!" Chen Gong seemed to have thought of something, and said with a smile.
"My problem!" Liu Yao was also a little blindsided, with question marks on his face.
"Exactly!" Chen Gong nodded, and of course said solemnly, "With my understanding of the general, you have always liked to achieve victory at the lowest cost, and for the soldiers, you are undoubtedly a good lord." But this time, it's really strange that you didn't care about the lives of your soldiers and forcibly attacked the city. ”
"Of course, I originally thought that you really wanted to suppress people with power this time, but after combining the strangeness of that Liu Biao, I found something strange in it after careful investigation, and I can now be sure that he Liu Biao is your person."
"Huh!" Liu Yao was also suffocated by Chen Gong's words, and his feelings turned out to be because he was too eager for quick success, which led to the exposure of Liu Biao.
"Since the general asked me a question, then I want to ask you a question too?" Chen Gong said not to be outdone.
Liu Yao didn't speak, just stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.
"Our encirclement and suppression of Liu Biao this time can be said to be seamless, where did you get this news, general!" Chen Gong asked with a frown.
Liu Yao couldn't help but smile dumbly when he heard this, and said jokingly, "It's a coincidence, I didn't know about it originally, but the intelligence under my command accidentally found the traces of General Xiahou, so I didn't come over to take a look, but I didn't expect to meet it." ”
"You ......" Xiahou Chun was also angry, but he didn't dare to act rashly.
However, this Chen Gong frowned even deeper when he heard this, although what he Liu Yao said was relaxed and seemed very simple, but only those who had personally contacted intelligence collection would know how terrifying Liu Yao's hand was.
"General Ben is in a good mood today, I don't want to do anything with you, I'll let you go today, let's go!" Liu Yao looked at Chen Gong and Lu Bu, who were about to drip ink on their faces, and said.
"Hmph, Liu Yao'er, let's see!" Lu Bu was unwilling to threaten, but he still chose to withdraw without hesitation.
Just as Liu Yao said, he saw Lu Bu retreat there, but he didn't pursue, but he kept a mysterious smile on his face.
Although Liu Biao's identity has been exposed, he also has another undercover Sun Ce, and with him, it will be him Liu Yao who will win.
And although Liu Biao was recognized, he still completed the task assigned by Liu Yao, and without the grain and grass in Wancheng, what he Liu Yao had to do next was just to wait quietly.
After Na Lu Bu left completely, Liu Yao's face turned pale, and he commanded the people behind him, "Surround Wancheng, and no one can let them go!" (To be continued......)
