The two armies marched in the opposite direction, and in a few days, both of them advanced to the boundary not far from Bowang.

When leading the army to march, Liu Bei saw a fast horse coming towards him, and the scout on the back of the horse was the scout who was ordered by him to go to investigate the military situation of the Han army.

Riding his horse and galloping towards Liu Bei, when Liu Bei approached, the scout turned over and jumped off his horse, raised his fists and said to him: "Uncle Qiqi, the enemy army has marched less than fifty miles away from our army!" ”

Fifty miles is not very far away for two armies marching in opposite directions.

At this distance, it would not take much time for any of these armies to surprise the other.

Knowing that the Han army had arrived at a place that was only more than fifty miles away from them, Liu Bei stopped his horse, furrowed his brows and looked ahead, before waving his hand at the scout for a while.

"Uncle Huang!" Liu Bei walked slowly and looked ahead, while Zhuge Liang approached him and whispered to him: "When the enemy army comes, it must pass through Bowangpo, and our army can set up an ambush at Bowangpo!" ”

Turning his head to look at Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei said: "The terrain of Bowangpo is complex, and you have to pass through a canyon to fight with our army in formation, which is a good place to set up an ambush." ”

Slowly shaking the feather fan, Zhuge Liang said: "Our army and the enemy are only fifty miles apart, Uncle Huang can lead the cavalry to the battle with General Zhang Fei first, and General Guan will lead the troops and horses to set up ambushes on both sides of the hillside, and wait until the enemy army attracts General Zhang to follow up the canyon, General Guan can take advantage of the situation to set fire to them in the valley." ”

After being silent for a moment, Liu Bei nodded and said to Zhuge Liang: "It's all about this!" ”

"Third brother!" After answering Zhuge Liang, he turned his head to look at Zhang Fei and said, "You immediately lead the cavalry, quickly go to stop the enemy army, and lead them to the Bowangpo Valley!" ”

Glancing at Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei said a little unconvinced: "Big brother, the Bowang Valley is narrow, and the enemy army is not stupid, if our army goes to fight, if the number is less than the enemy's, and they are all cavalry, how can they be willing to be so idle?" ”

"The third brother just go, don't make too much noise!" Zhang Fei's questioning was obviously out of distrust of Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei frowned slightly, and said to him: "If you have something to say until the end of this battle, I'll wait until the end of the battle!" ”

Glancing at Zhuge Liang suspiciously, Zhang Fei finally arched his fist towards Liu Bei with a reluctant face, answered, beckoned the cavalry, and rode his horse ahead of the army to meet the Han army.

As soon as Zhang Fei led the army to leave, Liu Bei said to Guan Yu again: "The second brother led 10,000 soldiers and horses, set up an ambush on the cliffs on both sides of Bowang, and just waited for the enemy army to enter the valley, and then set a fire to burn them to the ground!" ”

I didn't believe that the Han army would be so fooled, Guan Yu also glanced at Zhuge Liang, but he didn't question it like Zhang Fei, he just responded, and then accelerated forward with 10,000 Jingzhou infantry.

Zhang Fei left with the cavalry, Guan Yu took another 10,000 soldiers and horses, and only 5,000 soldiers remained with Liu Bei.

With 5,000 men and horses, Liu Bei walked forward and asked Zhuge Liang: "Mr. Zhuge , the third brother went to fight, and I didn't know that the enemy army would be fooled?" ”

"Uncle Huang!" Gently shaking the feather fan, Zhuge Liang said with confidence: "Xiahou is a fierce general, and General Zhang Fei is also a brave general who has been famous for many years. As the so-called narrow road meets, the two must be in a hurry to fight. General Zhang went to fight, and that Xiahou Dun had a fight, and when the killing was not yet exhausted, General Zhang led the army to retreat, if Xiahou Dun did not chase after him, he could provoke the law of the general, he must be unbearable! It makes sense for the enemy to enter the valley! ”

"But that Sima Yi!" Tightly frowning, Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang: "I'm afraid it's hard to deal with!" ”

"Sima Yi's name is unknown, so there is no need to have too many scruples!" Smiling slightly, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei with confidence: "Uncle Huang left five thousand soldiers and horses beside him, which is enough to deal with Sima Yi!" ”

It's not very clear what kind of calculation Zhuge Liang is doing, but Liu Bei didn't ask any more, just looked ahead, and his eyes showed a little uncertainty.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu led the army to meet the Han army first, and their movements were soon discovered by the Han army scouts.

As he was leading the army forward, a scout rode his horse and galloped towards Xiahoudun.

led 30,000 Han troops to the expedition, Xiahoudun always felt in his heart that he had no military exploits, and he really couldn't stand Liu Bian's kindness to him, and he just wanted to encounter the Jingzhou army earlier, so that he could pick a few more enemy generals on the battlefield, and asked Liu Wei to know that he was the commander of the three armies, and he didn't choose the wrong person!

Seeing the scout galloping towards him, Xiahoudun reined in his horse and raised his arm to stop the march of the army.

The army stopped, and the eyes of many Han soldiers were focused on the scouts who were speeding in.

The scout got closer and closer, and when he reached a place that was only more than ten steps away from Xiahoudun, he reined in his warhorse, turned over and jumped off the horse, and ran quickly in front of Xiahoudun.

"General!" When Xiahoudun approached, the scout clasped his hands into fists, bowed to him and said, "General Qiyu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each led a group of men and horses and came towards our army!" ”

"Each leading the way?" Without waiting for Xiahoudun to open his mouth, Sima Yi on the side was already a little suspicious and asked, "What about Liu Bei?" ”

"Back to the main book!" Xiahoudun didn't say anything, but Sima Yi asked first, and the scout hurriedly responded: "The Jingzhou army is divided into three groups, and Zhang Fei led the cavalry, as if they were very anxious to rush towards our army, which should be intended to stop our army." The soldiers and horses led by Guan Yu were more numerous than Zhang Fei, but they were all infantry. As for Liu Bei, he left thousands of soldiers and horses for himself, and marched slowly behind the two soldiers and horses! ”

"Zhang Fei came here to lead the general into the valley!" Lowering his eyelids and thinking for a moment, Sima Yi said to Xiahoudun: "The general is sincere for his meritorious service, and I am really worried that the general will not be able to stand that Zhang Fei's provocation......"

"Zhongda is too worried!" Before Sima Yi finished speaking, Xiahoudun smiled and waved his hand and said, "Zhang Fei is just a reckless man, how can this general fall for him!" ”

Although Xiahoudun said this, Sima Yi didn't dare to believe it too much.

said that Zhang Fei was a reckless man, why not his own family?

Although Zhang Fei is reckless, he writes well, and has a very high attainment in painting ladies.

Such a talented person, even if he is reckless, where can he be reckless?

In Sima Yi's view, although Zhang Fei is rough on the surface, it is difficult to guarantee that he is not a slender person in his heart.

Compared with Zhang Fei, he felt that the one who was more reckless should be Xiahou Xuan, a fierce general with only one eye.

After receiving the news that Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were coming, Xiahoudun also ordered the army to speed up its march, intending to arrive at Bowang one step earlier.

Riding his horse with Xiahoudun, Sima Yi was thinking about how to deal with the Jingzhou army all the way.

As he was walking, another scout rode his horse head-on.

Rushing to the front of the army quickly, the scout turned over and jumped off the horse, hugged his fists and bowed to Xiahoudun, who led the army towards him, and said: "General Qiyu, Zhang Fei led the cavalry, crossed the Bowang Valley, and was marching towards our army, and the soldiers and horses led by Guan Yu were nowhere to be found!" ”

The soldiers and horses led by Guan Yu suddenly disappeared, and Xiahoudun and Sima Yi were stunned.

As soon as Xiahoudun showed a hint of suspicion on his face, Sima Yi said to him with a smile: "Zhang Fei led the army to come, and he must have lured the general to lead the army to pursue. That Guan Yu thought that he was setting up an ambush along the way, just waiting for our army to enter the enemy's ambush! ”

Nodding, Xiahoudun was silent for a moment, and then shouted to Xiahouyuan, who was following behind: "Miaocai, lead five thousand troops, meet Zhang Fei!" Remember, just repel it, don't chase it lightly! ”

"No!" After receiving the order, Xiahou Yuan carried a big knife and waved behind him and shouted: "Follow General Ben to meet the Jingzhou thieves!" ”

As Xiahou Yuan greeted, the five thousand Han troops immediately followed behind him and marched quickly in the direction of Bowang.

Of the 5,000 soldiers and horses following Xiahou Yuan, only 1,000 were cavalry, and the other 4,000 were heavy infantry.

In the long years of fighting, the Han army has already accumulated an experience, the two armies fought, and they really collided in one place, and the cavalry could not cut the infantry at all. A thousand cavalry accompanied him into battle, in order to intercept enemy cavalry from the flank or from behind.

Leading five thousand soldiers and horses, Xiahou Yuan quickly marched in the direction of Bowang, looking at his back, Xiahou Yuan and Sima Yi's faces were not very good-looking.

They already knew that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were leading the army, but they were not sure where Liu Bei's Chinese army was.

Sima Yi's intention was, on the one hand, to block the soldiers and horses of the Jingzhou army coming first, and on the other hand, to send soldiers and generals to make a detour to attack Liu Bei's army, so as to achieve the goal of defeating Liu Bei.

But the speed of the Jingzhou army was too fast, and at first the scouts of the Han army could still grasp the movements of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's two soldiers and horses, but later, even Guan Yu's soldiers and horses lost their traces.

In this battle, Sima Yi also felt that it was not as easy to fight as he imagined.

I'm afraid that the 30,000 Han army will have to suffer a lot of losses in order to completely drive Liu Bei out of the Han territory!

"Someone!" After walking forward a little further, Sima Yi shouted behind him.

One of his own soldiers hurriedly clamped his legs on the horse's belly and rode up to him.

Turning his head to look at the pro-soldier, Sima Yi commanded in a low voice: "Send people to investigate where Liu Bei's army is!" ”

"No!" The soldiers answered, and walked towards the back of the group.

After a while, in the Han army's large array, twenty or thirty fast horses jumped out.

The Han army that rushed out of the array on war horses, although the direction of travel was not exactly the same, but each of them went to the same goal, which was to bypass Bowang and find the location of Liu Bei's army.

Staring ahead, Sima Yi's brows gradually twisted.

He and Xiahoudun were both reused by Liu Wei for the first time.

What is the future of the Han Dynasty in the future, it is extremely closely related to this battle.

Sima Yi knew very well that he and Xiahoudun could not lose in this battle, and they could not afford to lose!
