Chapter 624: Conspiracy
Le Jin waved his hand disapprovingly and said: "Why, do you still think that Liu Beijun dares to go out of the city to face the battle, even if you give Liu Bei that kid two guts, you don't want your mother-in-law, rush to Xinye tonight, and take Liu Bei off guard." ”
Seeing that Le Jin was decided, the adjutant general then persuaded: "General, it's better to send a team of men and horses to investigate." ”
"Okay, you lead fifty soldiers to investigate, remember, return as soon as there is no situation, otherwise you will delay the military plane and will not be spared." Lejin Road.
The adjutant hurriedly gathered his soldiers and walked towards the valley.
The soldiers who were secretly ambushing saw the Cao soldiers walking in, and said to Zhang Fei: "Third general, Cao Jun has walked in, do you want to fight?" ”
Zhang Fei slapped the soldier next to him and scolded: "What do you know, there are only a few dozen of these soldiers who can't see it, they must have come to watch the situation, and ordered their brothers to hide and not let the Cao soldiers find out." ”
"I didn't expect this military division to have two brushes, and he actually knew that Cao Jun was going from here." Zhang Fei muttered.
After probing the valley, the lieutenant hurriedly retreated.
"How?" Lejin asked.
"There are a lot of weeds in the valley, so it's better not to go in." Adjutant said.
"General Ben is asking you if there are any enemy troops in it?" Lejin said dissatisfiedly.
"It's too short a time to find out." Adjutant said.
"Okay, order the army to pull out, and this general forgives Liu Bei and doesn't have the courage to come." Le Jin said, his tone full of confidence.
"Third general, Cao Jun is really here this time." The soldier said softly
"You don't need to say it, I'll watch it." Zhang Fei slapped the soldier again.
About a quarter of an hour, Cao Jun had completely walked into the valley, Zhang Fei was about to order the soldiers to attack, suddenly remembered the bag that Zhuge Liang asked him to carry before leaving, he was very curious, reached into his arms, took out the bag, looked at it carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "What a plan." ”
At this time, Zhang Fei remembered that when the army was opened, Zhuge Liang would let the soldiers carry more rockets, which turned out to be for this purpose.
Zhang Fei gave an order, and all the arrows in the hands of the archers were replaced with rockets, and the Cao soldiers who shot at Xiangxia Fang, the weeds in the mountains were a little bit rocketed, and a fire immediately ignited.
Originally, walking in the dark valley, the soldiers were a little flustered, but now they saw such a change at first glance, the formation was chaotic, the soldiers in front were anxious to withdraw from the valley, and the soldiers in the rear who did not know why were still continuing to move forward, pushing and shouting, without Zhang Fei's hands, the soldiers of the Cao army had already begun to suffer casualties.
In the face of the fire, the elite soldiers of the Cao army showed a side that was not usually revealed, panicked, Le Jin's order could not be conveyed at all, and the five thousand troops had completely entered the valley at this time, and it was difficult to turn around.
Seeing the Cao army below in a mess, Zhang Fei hahadaxiao said: "Cao Cao, you dare to despise our army, let you all die here tonight." ”
The dense rain of arrows greeted Cao Jun one by one, and when Le Jin finally escaped from the valley, there were only more than 2,000 soldiers around him, and there was a faint sound of soldiers chasing and killing in the rear.
Guan Yu was ambushed in the rear of Le Jin, opened his eyes and watched Le Jin walk into the valley, and then heard the sound of fighting from the valley, knew that it was time for him to play, opened the bag given by Zhuge Liang, and after taking a look, he knew in his heart, and his contempt for Zhuge Liang was also reduced a lot.
"You lead a thousand men and horses, beware of the arrival of Cao's army in the rear." Guan Yu ordered, and then led a thousand soldiers to kill the Cao army, there were wolves in front and tigers in the rear, and the Cao army was full of liver and gall, how could there be the slightest combat effectiveness.
Originally, there was not much time away from Lejin, after Xiahoudun heard the movement in front of him and the firelight that came, he secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly led the soldiers to help, Guan Yu resisted and killed for a while, because it was in the dark night, there was no too much entanglement, and they quit their troops.
When Zhang Fei and Guan Yu returned to Xinye, they saw that Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others were already waiting outside the city gate, and the sky was just brightening at this time.
Zhuge Liang stepped forward and said, "Congratulations to the two generals for their victory." ”
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "It's the military advisor's strategy, I am convinced, if there is anything in the future, as long as the military advisor gives an order, Lao Zhang will definitely not frown." ”
Guan Yu stepped forward and said, "Thank you, military advisor." ”
Zhuge Liang looked at Guan Yu's expression, and knew that he still had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, and he didn't break it, and said with a smile after helping Zhang Fei up: "It's all for the lord, how to talk about thanks, the city has prepared a drink, and the two generals are going to the city quickly." ”
"Could it be that the military advisor knows that we will definitely win?" Zhang Fei asked puzzled.
"Haha, Cao Jun has just arrived, he must have been negligent in his precautions, and he will advance lightly, General Zhang and General Guan will go out together, they will definitely win, but the lord said that the two of them are among the ten thousand armies, and they are the first people to cut off the general." Zhuge Liang said.
When Zhang Fei heard this, his heart was very happy, and his previous resentment against Zhuge Liang completely dissipated.
After Xiahoudun heard the loss reported by Le Jin, his face suddenly became gloomy, he and Le Jin quarreled with each other, but he couldn't allow Liu Bei to be so rampant, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to go, and was persuaded by Le Jin, there were more than 1,000 people left from the previous 5,000 people, and before they got close to Xinye, they lost nearly 4,000 people, and no one knew if there would be any ambush ahead.
"Liu Bei Xiao'er, you dare to bully me like this." Xiahou said angrily.
Le Jin said: "The lowly position is entrusted by the lord, so I went to the army to ask for the guilt, and I hope that the general can win the victory and wash away the shame of the lowly position." ”
Xiahoudun surprisingly didn't take the opportunity to humiliate Lejin, but comforted him.
The two quarreled in the army, and their friendship in private was still good, and the fight on the surface was actually to let the soldiers have a higher fighting spirit.
After Cao Cao heard the news that Le Jin said, he saw the depressed Le Jin, and said dissatisfiedly: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, why bother with it, you will lead 10,000 soldiers and horses, and you must capture Xinye." ”
"Thank you, lord, for not taking Xinye City, and come to see you with your humble position." Le Jin's heart stirred, hugging his fists.
"Liu Bei'er's head, let the general take it, you still keep it to serve the army." Cao Cao laughed.
Le Jin led 10,000 soldiers and horses to aid Xinye with high morale, and when he came to Xinye, he only saw an empty city, the city was full of traces of burning, the secret road was not good, it was not that General Xiahou captured the city, ordered the burning of the city, before the lord left, but several times and three times told that the soldiers under his command must be strictly restrained, and the people in the city must not be violated, so as not to appear again Xuzhou fierce resistance.
When he saw Xiahoudun, Le Jin was stunned, what kind of dress is this, gray and dirty, even the soldiers around him are the same, the corner of the flag in the army is gone, and there are traces of fire on it.
"General, what's the matter?" Lejin asked puzzled.
Xiahoudun gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Bei, Zhuge Pifu, if you don't break your corpses into ten thousand pieces, this general will not give up." ”
It turned out that when Xiahoudun led the army to Xinye, the people in the city had withdrawn under Liu Bei's organization, leaving only an empty city, Xiahoudun did not hesitate to lead the soldiers in, who knew that at this time there was an ambush of Liu Beijun's army in the city, and a fire was lit everywhere in the city, blocking the retreat of Cao's army, although he barely stabilized his position, Zhang Fei Guan Yu led people to rush and kill for a while, and there were countless casualties.
"Zhuge Pifu?" Le Jin was panicked in his heart, even if he was himself, I am afraid that he would not hesitate to walk into the city, even if it is an empty city, but it is also a credit, I didn't expect Liu Bei to be so ruthless, he actually set fire to the city.
"Zhuge Pifu is the advisor that Liu Bei just invited recently." Xiahou said that Zhuge Liang's ridicule before leaving, such as in his ears, lingered.
"This matter should be reported to the lord as soon as possible." Lejin Road.
Xiahoudun showed a bitter face, he didn't expect that he was happy to go in and ask for guilt before, but in the blink of an eye, he was replaced by himself, I don't know if Cao Cao will be angry.
"Zhuge Liang?" Cao Cao asked, "Does anyone know about this person?" ”
"Lord, Zhuge Liang compares himself to Guan Zhong Leyi, Mr. Wolong, who lives in Jingzhou, although he is young and has a statement, but he has been living at home, and has not yet come out, I heard that Liu Bei went to invite him out of the mountain three times." A strategist stepped forward and said.
"Zhuge Liang? It's just a village husband, and what else does Zhong Leyi care about, it's simply an insult to the sages. Cao Cao snorted coldly.
The strategists didn't dare to speak out, they stood aside, under Cao Cao's account, there were a number of strategists who dared to refute Cao Cao, and Xi Zhi could be counted as one, Xun Yu Xun Yu was also available, and other strategists didn't have the guts.
"Lord, Liu Bei has the posture of a hero, and he should be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise sooner or later it will become an obstacle for our army to attack Jingzhou." Xi Zhicai said.
Cao Cao nodded and said: "Well, it's just that the most important thing at the moment is to take down the land of Nanyang, and then send troops to Jiangling, most of the money and grain in Jingzhou are hoarded in Jiangling, if Jiangling is taken, it is equivalent to breaking Liu Biao's arm, and it will be easier to take Jingzhou." ”
"My lord, there is a letter from an official from Yanzhou, saying that Yuan Shao wants to ally with our army and jointly resist the Xiliang army." Xun Yu said.
"Alliance? It's just that Yuan Shao can't beat the Xiliang army. Cao Cao said disdainfully.
"Lord, if Jizhou is lost, then the Xiliang Army will definitely send troops to the Central Plains, which is really unfavorable to our army, so it is better to send reinforcements."
Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "There is no need for this, there are more than 100,000 soldiers in Jizhou, not that the Xiliang army can capture it overnight, and by then our army has occupied the entire Jingzhou land, and it is imperative to fight with the Xiliang army." ”
The second update is coming, I hope you can support it.
