After Liu Weitai went out of the city to pick up Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he greeted the two and the five hundred cavalry behind them into the city and settled down, and then led Guan Zhang to see Gongsun Zhan.

Liu Bei has been operating in Anping for more than half a year, and currently has 5,000 troops in his hands, of which 2,000 were allocated to him by Gongsun Zhan. This time, Gongsun Chan urgently transferred Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Youzhou to help in the battle, Liu Bei had no reason to object, but he was cautious and only let Guan Zhang lead 500 cavalry to accompany him, which not only fulfilled Gongsun Zhan's face, but also left a little belongings for himself.

After Gongsun Zhan saw Guan and Zhang, he welcomed them, and then ordered someone to bring wine and meat to catch them up. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both massive, and the amount of food is even more terrifying, they drink bowl after bowl, tearing the beef in large chunks, and everyone in the tent is dumbfounded, and they are slandering in their hearts how Liu Bei treats these two brothers, and see how hungry they are!

These people are people who don't understand the extraordinary martial arts, and they usually eat a very large amount, otherwise they can't support the consumption of the body at all. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are so able to eat and drink, which is a manifestation of their physical functions far beyond ordinary people, not a performance of turtles who have not eaten good things. If Zhao Yun and Tai Shici were also in the tent today, I am afraid that they would not eat less than Guan Zhang.

After three rounds of drinking, Gongsun Chan said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with a solemn face: "Guan Duwei, Zhang Duwei, there is something you may not know. Changshan Zhao Yun, who had served in front of my account in the past, has now switched to Liu He's account, and has been awarded the position of lieutenant by Liu Yu, and this time he returned to Jicheng from Macheng with Liu He. I heard that this son is very powerful in martial arts, and he has the courage of ten thousand people, if you see this person on the battlefield, you must not be careless! ”

Zhang Fei sneered and said, "The general is too worried! Just one Zhao Yun, don't worry! I think that my second brother and I also studied martial arts with him when we were in Lingzhi, and Zhao Yun is not our opponent at all! If he dares to go out of the city to fight with me this time, take his head! ”

Guan Yu on the side didn't speak, but the expression on his face didn't seem to take Zhao Yun to heart.

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei in front of Gongsun Zhan's tent in Liaoxi Lingzhi, they happened to catch up with Zhao Yun to vote for Gongsun Zhan, and they didn't know what kind of poisonous eyes Liu Da'er had, and he was able to find Zhao Yun's difference at a glance, and he often showed favor to Zhao Yun after that. Guan Zhang and the others followed behind Liu Bei, so they naturally saw all this in their eyes, so they found an opportunity to learn martial arts with Zhao Yun.

At that time, Zhao Yun was only the head of Gongsun Zhan's tent, and the war horses he was assigned were ordinary goods, and he had not been trained in the Baimayi camp for a long time, so there was still a gap between the kung fu on horseback and Guan Zhang. In addition, Zhao Yun also had concerns in his heart at that time, and he didn't want to use his whole body to provoke Liu Bei to entangle himself even more, so when he competed with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, his performance was better than that of ordinary generals, but he definitely couldn't enter the level of first-class generals.

If you talk about the personal combat power of the generals in the Three Kingdoms era, the top ten can be regarded as super-first-class peerless powerhouses, such as Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Guan Yu, Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, Xu Chu, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Sun Ce, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, Pang De, Gan Ning and others, if these generals are at the same level of weapons and equipment, similar physical strength of war horses, and similar age, it is difficult to say who will have an absolute advantage, and the opponent will be killed in seconds within one or two moves.

A certain Luo's description of Guan Wusheng Wenjiu beheading Huaxiong and slashing Yan Liang with a knife has actually never happened in history. There is no such person as Hua Xiong in history, and his name is Ye Xiong, but the traditional character "Ye" and the traditional character "Hua" look a little similar from the appearance! I don't know if Lu Dao was presbyopia when he wrote "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and when consulting historical materials, he mistakenly thought that Ye Zi was Hua Zi.

In other words, in Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's eyes today, Zhao Yun is just a second-rate general with a single force value, and there are still two levels behind their super-first-class level!

However, with Zhao Yun's skillful kung fu now, plus all kinds of superb equipment prepared for him by a certain "pervert", as well as the Mobei wild horse that Zhao Yun snatched from the crotch of the Xianbei warrior lock slave, whether it is Guan Yu or Zhang Fei against him, I am afraid that he will not be able to get half a cent! Mo said that Guan Zhang and the others couldn't get benefits from Zhao Yun, even if they met Lu Bu riding a red rabbit horse now, Zhao Yun would not necessarily fall behind.

It's just that I don't know where Liu He will use Zhao Yun this time? I don't know how Gongsun Chan will use Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two fierce generals.

On the second day of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's arrival in Yongnu, Gongsun Yue and Zou Dan, who were stationed in Anci, received an order from Gongsun Zhan, so they led 10,000 cavalry to leave Anci in high spirits, preparing to sweep through the seven counties of Zhuo County with the momentum of the wind and clouds.

Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan are both the younger brothers of Gongsun Zhan, and now Gongsun Fan accompanies Gongsun Zhan's son Gongsun to stay in the old nest of Lingzhi in Liaoxi, and Gongsun Yue, as the most reliable general under Gongsun Zhan, led a cavalry elite to undertake the important task of expanding the territory for Gongsun Zhan.

Although the commander of this army stationed in Anci was Gongsun Yue, the general who was really responsible for the war was Zou Dan. In the history books, Zou Dan was killed in the north of the Lu River by Yan Rou, who came to seek revenge, after Liu Yu's death, and this time he definitely couldn't meet Yan Rou who fled back to Baishan, but what appeared in front of him may be Zhao Yun or Tai Shici, or one of Murong Ping, Sun Li or even Li Yan, anyway, it was enough for him to drink a pot.

Gongsun Yue and Zou Dan went out of Anci, and felt that it was a bit of a fuss to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to occupy Zhuo County, so they discussed waiting until the army passed through Xiaochengyang Township and then divided the troops into two routes, of which Gongsun Yue led an army of 5,000 to Zhuo County, and Zou Dan led another 5,000 soldiers and horses to Liangxiang, forty miles north of Zhuo County.

Anci is about seventy miles away from Yangxiang, and the cavalry troops arrive in the morning and evening, and it only takes half a day to arrive.

When Gongsun Yue and Zou Dan led their troops out of the city, it was the fifth day after Gongsun Ji left Jicheng, and the troops who went out of the city to fight were quietly evacuated on the night after Gongsun Ji left. Counting the time, they should now arrive at the predetermined ambush and interception location, just waiting for these two arrogant guys to collide headfirst and break the bloodstream.

The scene of the march of 10,000 cavalry was terrifying, not to mention the dust that would be raised along the road for miles, and the vibration and roar caused by the horses' hooves on the ground alone could be heard far away.

Yangxiang City is a very small acropolis, located in the east bank of Taoshui five miles, only thirty miles away from the county seat of Zhuoxian, there is no garrison in peacetime, just a large market town.

Since the news came that Gongsun Yue and Zou Dan, the leaders of General Fenwu, had led their troops into Anci, the merchants and people in Yangxiang City had all run away, some of them fled to the nearby Wubao to avoid the military disaster, and some simply went west into Zhuo County and even farther away in the area of Danguo and Wuruan Pass, and did not dare to stay in Yangxiang City anyway.

The reputation of the soldiers under Gongsun Zhan's command is not very good, and he often connived at his subordinates to loot over the years, causing the people of Youzhou to complain. Especially after Zhang Fei led the army to break into Zhuo County and kill officials last year, as long as the people of Zhuo County heard that Gongsun Zhan's troops were coming, they were as afraid as tigers and wolves, and they hid as far as they wanted. Think about it, even the county order and the county officials were killed when they were said to be killed, wouldn't the small people be even more desperate?

The night before Gongsun Yue and Zou Dan sent out their troops, a force of more than 6,000 people suddenly quietly entered the empty Yangxiang City. The commander of this army will be Li Yan, and the deputy generals will be Sun Li and Murong Ping, who are the main forces sent by Liu He to encircle and annihilate Gongsun Yue and Zou Dan.

Li Yan fought against Gongsun Yue and Zou Dan's 10,000 soldiers and horses with 6,000 soldiers and horses, and Gongsun Yue brought all the cavalry, and it seems very inappropriate to use the word "encirclement and annihilation"?

Whether it is appropriate or not depends on how Li Yan skillfully arranges and commands the battle.

In the afternoon, Gongsun Yue and Zou Dan led their troops to approach Yangxiang City fifteen miles away, and sent a reconnaissance cavalry to report back, saying that there was a small force stationed in Yangxiang City, and the number would not exceed 500.

After hearing this, Gongsun Yue shouted to the soldiers: "Brothers, work hard!" Let's hurry to the city of Yangxiang and scare the defenders in the city into peeing their pants! ”

When the soldiers around Gongsun Yue heard this, they immediately burst into laughter, and they all beat their horses and hurried forward.

Half an hour later, an imposing army appeared outside the low Yangxiang City.

Li Yan, who was hiding behind the women's wall, carefully observed the dust raised by the cavalry in the distance when they galloped, and whispered to Murong Ping and Sun Li beside him: "Gongsun Yue and Zou Dan have not yet divided their troops, and it is estimated that they are preparing to enter Yangxiang today for a night's rest, and then cross Taoshui west tomorrow and enter Zhuo County." ”

Sun Li lowered his head and carefully wiped the slashing knife in his hand, and muttered, "Master Li, why don't we set up an ambush on the west bank of Taoshui and attack while the enemy army crosses into the river, wouldn't it have a better chance of winning?" ”

Li Yan looked at Sun Li, who was not yet eighteen years old, glanced at this little partner, and said, "You guys talk a lot!" Our purpose this time is to try to annihilate the 10,000 soldiers and horses brought by Gongsun Yue, if we set up an ambush on the west bank of Taoshui, at most we will strike at their vanguard, once they find out that our army is dispatched, Gongsun Yue and Zou Dan will immediately turn around and withdraw to Anci, but our army will not dare to pursue because of the barrier of Taoshui, otherwise they will use the same means to deal with us at that time, and launch a counterattack against us while we cross the river. ”

Don't look at Sun Li's young age, but he is definitely not the kind of guy with developed limbs and a simple mind, he pondered Li Yan's words carefully, and said, "Well, I understand." You hid your army in this inconspicuous city to paralyze the attention of Gongsun Yue and Zou Dan, so that they could not eat or vomit in their throats! ”

Li Yan patted Sun Li on the shoulder and said, "Young man, you almost guessed my seven-point intention, but you still owe thirty percent of the fire." ”

Li Yan's "obscene" action of patting someone else's shoulder and talking seems to have been learned from a lewd guy hiding in Jicheng?

Murong Ping, who had never said a word, asked, "Does Master Li still want to buy time for the car battalion led by Taishi Ziyi?" ”

Li Yan nodded and said: "Well, Murong Sima guessed well, let's spend a few more days here with Gongsun Yue and Zou Dan, and wait until the Che battalion led by Taishi Ziyi arrives in Anci, then Gongsun Zhan's reinforcements will not be able to come, and Zou Danbu, who was disabled by us, will not be able to escape, so that the goal of annihilating the enemy army to the greatest extent can be achieved!" ”

"Master Li, the front army sent by the enemy army has come up!" Sun Li whispered.

Li Yan calmly ordered: "Let the crossbowmen behind the female wall be hidden!" There are now only 300 axes and shields on the city. ”
