Chapter 163: Encirclement (1/2)
Che Guan, Guanzhong people.
In April of the third year of Jian'an, the Han court envoy shot Pei Mao to Guanzhong, and ordered Duan Xuan and other generals in Guanzhong to kill Li Wei.
Duan Xuan acted according to the edict, and united with Che Zhou and other Guanzhong Haoqiang, beheaded Li Dao, and razed his three clans. The year before, that is, in the second year of Jian'an, Guo Yan was killed by his subordinate Wu Xi. In addition, Zhang Ji died early in the first year of Jian'an, and Dong Zhuoyu's party was wiped out.
Despite this, Cao Cao did not immediately occupy Guanzhong, but appointed Duan Xuan as the general of Annan and ordered him to garrison Guanzhong.
As a pawn of the Guanzhong clan, Che Xuan was sent to Xudu. Cao Cao worshipped him as a rear general, attached great importance to it, and it was also a means to release goodwill to the Guan sergeant clan.
Therefore, Che Zhou is not familiar with Liu Chuang, but he knows that Liu Chuang is not very old, and he is a relative of the Han family.
He didn't particularly value Liu Chuang, and always felt that Cao Cao was a little too cautious in dealing with Liu Chuang so vigorously this time.
Hearing Lu Zhu say that Liu Chuang was seriously injured, Che Zhou immediately moved his mind.
However, Che Xuan didn't know Liu Chuang, but Jian Yong was no stranger.
He resolutely disagreed with Che Zhou's plan to send troops to sneak attack, "The thieves are deceitful, and they are still curious."
Even if this person is injured, he will inevitably be on guard and attack the camp rashly, and he may have no chance of winning. Cao Gong ordered me to wait here for two days, and now that a day has passed, and only tomorrow will be over, and it will be completed, so why make a decision to attack him without permission? It's better to be careful. β
Jian Yong was well-intentioned, but when he heard it in the ears of the car, it changed his taste.
He said angrily: "Just a thief, why should you be so cautious?
No wonder Xuan Degong was not this person's opponent, and he was beaten by him. There is a way to refuse to grant the orders of foreign kings. How can there be an immutable truth when marching and fighting? I'm afraid that Cao Gong would not have thought that Liu Chuang would be injured under the city. If you know this, you will not spare them. β
Jian Yong's heart was furious, and his face suddenly became ugly.
There is a way to hit people without slapping their faces. Scolding does not expose shortcomings.
Liu Bei's biggest shame in his life is probably the fact that he lost to Liu Chuang several times, and even his wife was snatched away by Liu Chuang.
Che Xuan spoke unceremoniously, which made Jian Yong dissatisfied.
But there is no way, Che Xuan is the main general, he is just an entourage, and he has no rights at all. Now that Che Xuan has made up his mind, even if Jian Yong wants to stop it, there is no way. He regretted it a little. knew that this was the case, so why did he cooperate with the chariot and seize the power of the elk army?
Thinking of this, Jian Yong looked at Lu Zhu.
But I saw that the elk Zhu looked at the nose with his eyes, and his nose looked at his mouth. Mouth and heart, as if the old monk is settled, indifferent.
This time, it can be regarded as offending Zizhong!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That night, Che Xuan led 3,000 soldiers and horses and quietly went out of the city.
He ordered the way to move from the left, and he himself from the right to advance in both directions. Soon came to the front of Liu Chuang's camp.
In the camp, the lights are bright.
Outside the gate, there were antlers to resist horses, but there were no soldiers guarding them.
It seems that Liu Chuang's injury has a great impact on the morale of the army. Even the guards have become lax...... Che Xuan was overjoyed in his heart, drew his sword on the horse, and shouted: "The three armies obey the order and rush to camp with me." β
In a flash. Trumpets sounded and drums thundered.
The car and the road moved into Liu Chuang's camp left and right. All the way to the Chinese army's tent.
After entering the camp, Che Zhou felt that something was not right. Along the way, why didn't you see Sergeant Liu Chuang?
"General Hou, we have been tricked!"
The road beckoned horses and shouted loudly.
The chariot suddenly woke up, and immediately turned the horse's head to go out.
At this moment, the drums of war outside the camp rumbled.
Groups of military horses poured in from all directions, came to the gate of the Yuan, and without saying a word, they drew their bows and arrows.
Rockets shot up into the sky and into the camp. The camp was already covered with hay, saltpeter and oil...... When the rocket struck, the fire in the camp burned all at once, especially at the gate of the Yuanmen, which was quickly blocked by the fire.
Cao Jun was even more flustered and became a pot of porridge.
The chariots and horses circled, and roared with the road signs: "Captain Lu, break through to the rear camp." β
But the whole camp was full of fires, and when the fire spread, the night sky turned red.
Cao Jun ran and fled in the sea of fire, and countless people tried to force their way through the sea of fire, but they were engulfed in flames...... Outside the camp, Gao Shun commanded the archers to continuously shoot the Cao army that rushed out of the sea of fire, and his face was like steel, and he did not see half a fluctuation. He looked at those screaming Cao soldiers, and couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart, "Xiong Zhenjun, fence the camp with me, and let one go!" β
The sergeants of Xiong Zhenjun shouted in unison, and their voices soared into the sky.
The car and the road were running in the sea of fire, and finally rushed out of a way, who knew that as soon as they escaped from the sea of fire, they heard a thunderous roar sound: "Tiger idiot Xu Chu is here, you don't want to take your life!" β
A horse flying in the sand, like an arrow from a string, galloped from afar.
The bell rang for Ma Jiaoluan, and immediately a general, holding a nine-ring gold-backed sword, rang loudly, and Xu Chu had already come to him.
Lu Zhao twisted the gun and stepped forward to block it, and after only three or five rounds, he was slashed off the horse by Xu Chu.
At the same time, the chariot was lifted off the horse and was swarmed by the Xiong Zhenjun, tied with ropes.
"Hugh wants to kill me, I am willing to surrender!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the car hurriedly shouted loudly.
Xu Chu urged him forward, looked at the car, and showed a cold smile on his face......
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Liu Chuang's camp fired, and Jian Yong was the first to get the news.
He climbed the city gate tower and looked out, secretly screaming in his heart, and hurriedly rushed down the city tower, wanting to light up the soldiers and horses and go out of the city to rescue the car.
When he came to the gate of the city, he saw the elk in armor and riding a horse from afar.
Behind him, he was still followed by hundreds of servants, all armed with weapons.
When Jian Yong saw Lu Zhu, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed. hurriedly shouted: "Zizhong, please send troops to rescue the Hou General as soon as possible, otherwise Tan County will be in danger." β
Hearing this, Lu Zhu smiled slightly, "Xian Hexiu is going to panic, I'm about to go out of the city." β
After speaking, he shouted sharply on the horse: "I am the Taishou Elk Zhu of Donghai County, and the sons of the three armies obeyed the order and immediately put down their weapons. Open the gates. β
"Huh?"
Jian Yong was stunned, suddenly came to his senses, pointed at Lu Zhu and said, "Zizhong, you ......"
Lu Zhu sneered: "Xuande Gong treats me like a mustard, why should I be loyal to him?"
Meng Yan is the uncle of the Han Emperor. After the Marquis of Zhongling, he is my sister-in-law. How can I not help him, but help outsiders? Xianhe, please be wronged. β
As he spoke, Elk Zhu waved his hand, and more than a dozen servants rushed to Jian Yong like wolves and tigers.
Jian Yong's side. Also with a servant.
But after all, a single person is alone, and there are more than a dozen servants, how can they be the opponents of hundreds of domestic servants?
Lu Zhu has been in Donghai for nearly two years, and he is a native of Donghai County. Therefore, the prestige in Donghai County is naturally not comparable to Che Xuan and others.
Now Lu Zhu is determined to surrender, and the soldiers in the city naturally accompany him.
Almost all the soldiers and horses sent by Cao Cao went out of the city with the chariots. The sergeants who stayed in Tan County were all soldiers who had followed Lu Zhu for two years. In their eyes. Natural moose is more amiable. Although the likes of the car are strong, they are afraid that it is difficult to protect themselves now.
"Zizhong, you're looking for death."
Jian Yong shouted loudly: "I know that you were provoked by Liu Chuang, and today's actions are just a moment of confusion."
Listen to my persuasion, let me go at once, and then go out of the city to rescue the general. I can guarantee that Duke Cao and Duke Xuande will definitely not be guilty of the past. β
Lu Zhu said: "Xianhe, you are really dying, especially if you don't know it." β
After that, as soon as Elk Zhu waved his hand, Lin Lezi rushed up, raised his foot and kicked Jian Yong to the ground, and then found a wet cloth and stuffed it into Jian Yong's mouth, and ordered someone to drag and pull Jian Yong aside. Lu Zhu then ordered the gates to be opened, and he went out of the city with a group of servants.
In the distance, Liu Chuang's camp was blazing.
The sound of shouting and killing and wailing was faintly heard.
A team of soldiers and horses was quickly marching towards Tanxian, they lit torches, and Lu Zhu could clearly identify that the general who was at the forefront was Liu Chuang.
Lu Zhu hurriedly dismounted and walked forward quickly.
"Elk Zhu, meet Uncle Huang."
Liu Chuang hurriedly turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and hugged Lu Zhu, "Big brother, you and I are my own family, why do you have so many false courtesies?" If it weren't for the eldest brother in the city today, I would have almost fallen for Cao Thief's tricks. It's just that I now want to know more about what the situation is. β
Elk Zhu was happy in his heart!
Speaking of which, even though he kept in touch with Liu Chuang, he was always a little uneasy in his heart.
After all, at the beginning, Lu Zhu cleaned up Liu Chuang to death, although he did not succeed, but this feud was really concluded.
It wasn't until later that Elfang defected to Liu Chuang and followed Liu Chuang to Qingzhou.
Lu Zhu felt a trace of remorse, but he still looked down on Liu Chuang...... Later, Liu Chuang got the name of the emperor's uncle of the Han Dynasty, the Marquis of Guanting, the minister of Beihai, and was faintly a prince. And what about the moose? Although he was the Taishou of Donghai County, he could feel that Lu Bu and Liu Bei were faintly hostile to him. It is understandable that Lu Bu is hostile to him, and Lu Zhu does not feel that there is anything wrong. But you Liu Bei...... I am loyal to you Liu Bei, and since you came to Xuzhou, I have been trying to build momentum for you.
You don't have money, I'll give you money.
You don't have people, I'll give you people......
In the end, you yourself have nothing to do and were kicked out of Xuzhou, but you still have to blame me?
Of course, Lu Zhu felt uncomfortable in his heart, and even had a trace of resentment towards Liu Bei. Fortunately, he stayed in the East China Sea and did not follow Liu Bei to wander around. Sometimes I think about it, if I had fled Xuzhou with Liu Bei, God knows what the result would have been.
Last year, Liu Chuang passed through Tan County, and after thinking twice, Lu Zhu asked Lin Lezi to warn Liu Chuang.
Not long after, he received a letter from Elk, and the brother and sister reconnected.
It's a pity that last year's big wedding of Elk Zhu couldn't go to congratulate him. But in private, Liu Chuang asked Lu Jin to send two jars of wine, and told SΓΉ Mi Zhu that this was Lu Jin's happy wine. Although Elk Zhu can't go to Gaomi, his sister's wedding wine can't be missed. That night, Lu Zhu was so drunk that he cried bitterly. His father asked him to take good care of Elk before his death, and now Elk has a home, although it is not as he arranged, but it is very happy. Lu Zhu was both happy and sad in his heart...... From that day on, he made up his mind.
Now. After listening to Liu Chuang's words, Lu Zhu was completely calmed down.
He arched his hand towards Liu Chuang, and then looked at the camp in the distance, which was shrouded in fire.
Liu Chuang smiled slightly, and said softly: "Big brother Hugh has to worry, no accident, none of the people who went to the camp tonight want to come back." β
Elk Zhu must have breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle Huang, let's go into the city and talk."
Nine hundred flying Xiong Wei followed Liu Chuang into Tan County. Accompanied by Lu Zhu, he came to the county office.
Liu Chuang is no stranger to this county office.
Two years ago, he lived here, and it was from Tan County that he walked out. Go north to Qingzhou.
In the past two years, the county government of Tanxian County has not changed much, and even when he walked into the county office, he also saw the horse stake made of pig iron next to the gate of the county office. The horse stake was left by Liu Chuang, but he didn't expect that Lu Zhu didn't remove it.
"Big brother, what's the situation?"
After sitting down in the prefectural office. Liu Chuang couldn't wait to ask.
Lu Zhu smiled bitterly, "Uncle Huang......"
"Big brother, you and I are a family, don't use this title. Just call me the words. β
Liu Chuang said this, but Lu Zhu didn't dare to do it.
He smiled: "Then I'll be like everyone else, and I will respect 'Childe'."
Childe, you sent troops to Xuzhou this time. It's not safe. Since Cao Cao is determined to crusade against Xuzhou, how can he not be wary of you?
As far as I know. Cao Cao's siege of Pengcheng this time is fake, because it is true that you came to Gongzi.
If you don't send troops, it's easy to say. As long as you send troops to Xuzhou, Cao Cao will not hesitate to keep you here. β
Hiss!
Liu Chuang couldn't help but gasp and said softly, "Big brother, what is Cao Cao's plan?" β
"According to Cao Cao's orders, Che Zhou will hold you in Tan County for two days.
At the same time, Cao Cao ordered the general Zhu Ling to send troops from Taishan County to garrison Xiangben, and then ordered Li Dian to secretly send troops from Wuyuan. I don't know the specific situation, but I know that the reason why Zhu Ling and Li Dian haven't made a move so far is because the time is not ripe. I don't know what they're waiting for. But I believe that if they attack, you will be destroyed. β
Zhu Ling, Li Dian?
Cao Cao made a lot of money this time!
Even Liu Chuang couldn't help but gasp after hearing these two names.
These two people are not easy to deal with.
Zhu Ling's reputation may not be prominent, but Li Dian and Liu Chuang are no strangers.
He pondered for a moment and said softly: "Eldest brother, if you were Cao Cao, what else would you arrange?" β
Lu Zhu was stunned for a moment, thinking that Liu Chuang wanted to test him, and immediately smiled: "If I am Cao Cao, I will cut off the son's way back."
In this way, Childe went deep alone. Cao Cao only needed to contain Lu Bu to wipe out his son under the rule of Donghai County. However, Langya County is under the jurisdiction of Zang Ba, he is the eighth strong general under Lu Bu, and if Lu Qian wants to capture Langya County, it may not be an easy task. β
Zang Ba!
If you want to encircle and annihilate Liu Chuang and Donghai County, there is no doubt that Langya County is the key.
Zang Ba, Zang Ba......
Liu Chuang's mind suddenly echoed the words that Huang Shao had said to Liu Chuang on the way to Jiqiu.
Cao Cao had many strategists around him, and since he was determined to kill Liu Chuang, how could he leave such a big mistake...... Zang Ba must have surrendered.
Thinking of this, Liu Chuang couldn't help but shudder.
He finally understood why he had been upset.
In fact, Huang Shao had already reminded him before, but Liu Chuang had developed extremely rapidly in the past two years, which could be described as smooth sailing, and he couldn't help but be complacent.
At the same time, in Liu Chuang's mind, Guo Jia's delicate face suddenly appeared.
Is this your plan?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Ahem, ahem!"
Outside Pengcheng, in the camp of the Cao army.
Guo Jia suddenly coughed violently and woke up from his sleep.
He got up from his clothes and sat up from the couch, only to feel cold sweat on his forehead.
He had a strange dream that he was in a snowy field, where the temperature was cold and the water was dripping into ice.
Everyone was gone, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, his wife, and his children...... He walked in the vast world, but there was no one to be seen.
"Lord!"
He shouted loudly.
Who knew that a majestic man suddenly appeared in front of him, riding a horse.
"Fengxiao, what do you call me?"
Guo Jia recognized at a glance that the strong man turned out to be Liu Chuang, and woke him up from his sleep at once.
Damn, how do you have such weird dreams?
Why did Liu Chuang appear in my dreams?
Guo Jia had a feeling of uneasiness, got up in his clothes, and walked out of the military tent.
In the camp, it was extremely quiet.
Diao Dou hit twice in a row, indicating that it was the second watch.
Guo Jia saw that the lights in the Chinese army's tent were still bright, so he walked over.
Cao Cao was reading a book under the lamp.
This is already a habit of him, even when he is marching and fighting, he will carry books with him.
"Fengxiao, why don't you rest at such a late hour?"
When Guo Jia walked into the Chinese army's tent, Cao Cao put down the scroll in his hand and asked in amazement.
Fang woke up and saw that the lights in the lord's tent were not extinguished, so he came to visit...... Lord, it's been two days, why hasn't there been rest? β
"Just about to rest."
Cao Cao put down the book, got up and stepped forward, and pulled Guo Jia to sit down.
"This expedition to Xuzhou, Fengxiao can be described as painstaking, it is really hard.
After Liu Chuang was settled, Feng Xiao was stationed in Pengcheng to rest, and I went south from the overseer...... As soon as Chuang Er died, Lu Bu had nothing to worry about. β
"The lord thinks, then Liu Chuang will be tricked?"
When Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's question, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "Xuangao has already sent a message, and after Liu Chuang conquered Jiqiu, he has now invaded Tan County." And Xuan Gao will do it today, as long as he captures Jiqiu, he will seal Liu Chuang's retreat. How can you not die? β
Guo Jia didn't show joy, but frowned.
"Bonghyo, what's wrong?"
"I always felt like there was a loophole."
"Hah, what loopholes can there be?" Cao Cao said with a smile: "Fengxiao, you have been planning this matter since last year, and now the most critical point has been solved by you, so why should you worry?" I know that Liu Chuang is as brave as a tiger, but Bo Mancheng is not an idle person. Although the chariot is frivolous, he is also a general. With the assistance of Jian Yong and Lu Zhu, it will not be a problem for him to hold Tan County. When the time comes, there will be three pinching blows, how can you survive? β
Moose?
Guo Jia suddenly struck a chill and stood up.
Cao Cao was startled, and hurriedly said, "Fengxiao, what are you doing?" β
Guo Jia stomped his feet, showing a hint of remorse, "How did I forget Elk Zhong?" Liu Chuang is his sister-in-law, and he will definitely not sit idly by. β
Cao Cao said: "No.
As far as I know, Lu Zhu and Liu Chuang have a deep grudge, and Liu Chuang was falsely accused of 'betraying the master's house slave', which was also caused by Lu Zhu. He is quite loyal to Liu Bei and has no contact with Liu Chuang, how can he help Chuang'er? Besides, even if he wanted to help, Che Xuan and Jian Yong would not let him do it. β
Guo Jia smiled bitterly: "Because of this, I am more worried......"
