Zhou Yu got the news of Sun Quan in Bingzhou, and when he heard that Sun Quan had won Yuzhou, Liu Bei had already left the city, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. The strategy set up by him and Sima Yi is one ring after another, and the ultimate goal is to take the land of Liu Bei's three states, and now the three states have taken two states, and the victory or defeat is only in the battle of the state.

Sima Yi saw that Zhou Yu was overjoyed to discuss with him, so he guessed that Sun Quan had won Yuzhou, and congratulated him: "Zhou Dudu's face is full of spring breeze, it must be Yuzhou's plan!" ”

Zhou Yu was inevitably wary of Sima Yi when he first cooperated, but after a long time, Zhou Yu found that Sima Yi didn't seem to have much ambition, and actually gave Yanzhou and Yuzhou to himself, which made Zhou Yu feel a little unbelievable. However, as the strategy progressed step by step, Yanzhou and Yuzhou also fell into the hands of Sun Quan, and Zhou Yu gradually believed that Sima Yi was sincerely cooperating, and he did not hide it at this time, and said bluntly: "Don't hide it from Sima Dudu, Yuzhou has been obtained by my lord." Now Liu Bei is coming to Bingzhou. ”

Sima Yi smiled: "Then congratulations to the governor!" I don't know who will fight Liu Bei with the intention of the governor? ”

Zhou Yu knew that Liu Bei came with grain, and the soldiers and horses were not elite, and this battle was not difficult, it could be said that it was a fat difference, so he was not polite to Sima Yi, and said: "Liu Bei doesn't have to bother Sima Dudu, I will go to this battle." ”

Sima Yi did not fight, and agreed with Zhou Yu to send troops at that time. He hoped that Zhou Yu and Liu Bei would have a deeper enmity, so that even if Nan Ye sent troops, there would be Dongwu in front of him.

Zhou Yu came to see Sima Yi to discuss ambushing Liu Bei, and after the two discussed properly, Zhou Yu secretly led the troops away, leaving an empty camp here, confusing the people in the city, so that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not dare to go out of the city.

Ambushing Liu Bei was originally not difficult for Zhou Yu, considering that Liu Bei wanted to save Guan and Zhang Er would inevitably choose the nearest path, so Zhou Yu ambushed on the straight road between Yuzhou and Bingzhou. However, what Zhou Yu didn't expect was that after waiting for two days, he didn't wait for Liu Bei, but waited for the horse to report, Liu Bei had already traveled from another road to Jinyang.

Zhou Yu was shocked when he heard the report, he never expected Liu Bei to see through his plan. If Liu Bei is allowed to go to Jinyang and join forces with Chengzhong Pass and Zhang Er to break the Cao army, then his own forces will no longer be superior, and maybe Liu Bei will be defeated and won. Thinking of this, Zhou Yu didn't care about the ambush, and led the generals to chase after him.

Liu Bei really didn't see through Zhou Yu's strategy, and it was completely accidental that he was able to avoid the ambush. Before, Liu Bei asked the Tuo Si Lidart Bureau to escort the grain and grass, so Liu Bei did not go straight to Jinyang as soon as he entered the border of Bingzhou, but first made a detour to receive the grain and grass, but he did not expect to avoid Zhou Yu's ambush.

The ambush soldier Liu Bei escaped, but Zhou Yu's pursuer Liu Bei couldn't dodge. Liu Bei's soldiers and horses who escorted grain and grass were not as fast as Zhou Yu's chasing troops anyway. Soon, there was a probe to report to Liu Bei, and there were chasing soldiers behind him.

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard the news, and asked Tanma: "Who is behind you?" Who leads the troops? How much is the soldier? ”

Tanma reported: "It is the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu, under the banner of Zhou Yu, there are about tens of thousands of people. ”

Liu Bei panicked when he heard this, most of the people under his command were old and weak, and there was no general to lead him, how could he resist Zhou Yu's elite? Then he asked Jian Yongdao: "Zhou Yu's chasing soldiers have arrived, how should I wait?" ”

Jian Yong took out a map and said: "This is already in Xihe County, and it is not willing to be from Jinyang." Further ahead, there is a small county, called Rao County, and His Majesty can quickly march to Rao City to station in order to block Zhou Yu's troops. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he ordered Jian Yong to lead the troops to escort the grain and grass first, and he personally led a thousand Baiwei troops and 10,000 strong soldiers to ambush and break off. After the sergeants saw Liu Bei personally cut off, they were all encouraged and their morale was high.

However, Zhou Yu learned that Liu Bei had bypassed his ambush, so he urged his soldiers to chase after him as soon as possible. The soldiers of Eastern Wu either regarded Liu Bei as a soft persimmon or as a piece of fat, so everyone worked bravely and tried their best to move forward. As a result, the Soochow team scattered and formed a long snake formation on the road. Those who run fast rush to the front, and those who run slower lean back.

Jiang Qin and Zhou Taier will be appointed by Zhou Yu as the vanguard, and they will take the lead in running at the forefront of the Wu army. The second general walked to a mountain road, and then heard the sound of killing on the side of the mountain, Liu Bei held a double-strand sword, and led his elite soldiers to suddenly kill.

Liu Bei, Sun Jian, and Cao Cao, the three heroes, all led troops into battle. Although it has been a long time since Liu Bei himself has gone out in person, this does not mean that Liu Bei has forgotten how to fight. If you talk about heads-up, the four Liu Bei are not Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai's opponents, but if you talk about encouraging soldiers, the eight Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai are not Liu Bei's opponents.

Now that Liu Bei is already the king of a country, he doesn't need Liu Bei to make a move, as long as he immediately goes to the front of the mountain with a sword, that is the royal conquest, how can the soldiers under his command not be effective? One by one, they fought bravely to be the first and killed the Wu army.

Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were really suppressed by Liu Bei's momentum, and they saw that the mountains were full of Northern Han people, and they didn't have time to count whether it was 10,000 or 50,000. In their minds, since Liu Bei personally led the troops here, it must be all the people who are ambushed here, and they want to fight with their own horses.

The second general looked back and saw that the soldiers behind him were only concerned about pursuing Liu Bei, and they had long lost their formation, and they were scattered together, and it was impossible for them to be the opponent of Liu Bei's 50,000 army. Before Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai could start fighting, their momentum weakened by three points, and they hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of troops.

The first-echelon soldiers who could follow Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai to pursue Liu Bei were all the fastest in the Eastern Wu army. Now that the Lord General has ordered to retreat, they are not slow to run back, leaving the Northern Han army to their backs one by one.

Liu Bei himself didn't expect that the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu were so poor, he didn't even fight, and ran away. The ambush soldiers did not kill or injure many Eastern Wu soldiers, which made Liu Bei very annoyed, but Liu Bei did not dare to chase too much, for fear of encountering Zhou Yu's army, so he only chased and killed for a while and then returned to chase Jian Yong.

Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai's second generals met with Zhou Yu to plead guilty first, and then told Liu Bei to ambush the army to fight a decisive battle with Eastern Wu. Zhou Yu looked behind the two, but he didn't see Liu Bei's soldiers and horses chasing after him, so he sighed and said, "You are waiting for Liu Bei's treacherous plan!" If Liu Bei intends to fight a decisive battle, he will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack our Chinese army. Now that Liu Bei is not coming, it means that he has led the troops to break off, and he has no intention of fighting a decisive battle. ”

Hearing Zhou Yu say this, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai couldn't help blushing. The soldiers and horses of the broken queen are usually the same as the vanguard soldiers and horses, and they are a small part of the elite of the large army. Although it is not certain that the vanguard force will win or lose the battle with the broken army, the vanguard force will treat the broken soldiers and horses as an enemy army and flee without a fight, and this face can be lost home.

Zhou Yu saw that the second general waved his hand to ask for guilt again, and did not blame him more. They are responsible for this matter, and Zhou Yu is also responsible. If it weren't for Zhou Yu's eagerness to catch up with Liu Bei, the military formation would not be so scattered. Zhou Yu estimated that even if the second general fought with Liu Bei, it would not be good, but the loss would be greater, it can be said that although Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai misjudged the situation, the decision to withdraw the army was not wrong, and Zhou Yu had no intention of pursuing it.

Zhou Tai saw that Zhou Yu didn't dig deeper, so he asked: "Liu Bei's army and horses are in ambush in front, should we chase after them?" ”

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said: "Liu Bei killed you and waited for you to think that it was a success, and he would definitely not still ambush in the same place, and the garrison was also slackening." At this time, it is time to pursue it vigorously, and there is no need to hesitate. After that, he ordered Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Chen Wu, Ling Tong, Pan Zhang, and Dong Xi to lead the elite soldiers to pursue forward.

Liu Bei and Jian Yong had already arrived under Raocheng at this time. This kind of small county town is not a strategic place, and Zhou Yu and Sima Yi have not yet had time to send troops to capture it, so they are still under Liu Bei's rule. The county commander saw Liu Beibing come to Kaicheng to greet him, but Liu Bei was not happy.

Rao City is too small, the city wall is only one person high, not to mention the city gate, and it is very narrow, and it takes a lot of work for 50,000 troops to carry grain and grass into the city. With such a small city, Liu Bei didn't know how long he could hold it. Moreover, Zhou Yu's army is behind him, if he doesn't enter the city soon, I'm afraid there will be trouble.

"Quick! Hurry up! Faster! Jian Yong kept urging the soldiers, and the county order also mobilized the people to help push the cart. It's a pity that the city gate is only so big, even if the soldiers are fast, it is useless.

What Liu Bei was worried about still happened, and before all the men and horses entered the city, Zhou Yu's pursuers arrived. This time, in the face of the menacing Wu soldiers, Liu Bei was not prepared at all. He knew that if he didn't enter the city at this time, the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu might take advantage of the situation to enter the city. So Liu Bei immediately made a decision and shouted loudly: "Quickly abandon the grain and grass in front of the city, and the men and horses will enter the city quickly!" ”

After the Northern Han soldiers received the order, they all abandoned the grain and grass vehicles and entered the city lightly, and the speed suddenly increased a lot. In a few moments, the soldiers all entered the city, leaving only countless grain and grass vehicles and Liu Bei's Baiwei army outside the city.

Liu Beili glanced at the rolling dust in the distance in the city gate, and then looked at the grain and grass left outside the city, couldn't help sighing, and ordered Bai Weijun beside him: "Light the fire and burn the vehicle, and then enter the city!" ”

Bai Weijun did not hesitate to Liu Bei's order, and quickly ignited most of the grain and grass carts gathered in one place, as for those scattered grain carts that were far away, they couldn't take care of it. After the fire was lit, the Bai Wei army escorted Liu Bei into the city and closed the city gate, and the fire burned under the city.

Looking at the fire under the city, Liu Bei and Jian Yong's hearts seemed to be dripping blood. These grains and grasses were brought from Yuzhou by their hard work, but they didn't expect to burn them with their own hands now. It was almost possible to transport all the grain and grass into the city, but Liu Bei had to order it to be burned, even if his own men and horses could not eat the grain and grass, Liu Bei could not let Zhou Yu's Wu army enjoy the grain and grass.

Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and other generals and Eastern Wu soldiers were also bleeding in their hearts. If they had caught up with Liu Bei earlier, these heavy grains and grasses that had turned into flames would have become their trophies and military salaries. Now not only are the spoils gone, but the raging flames have also stopped them outside the city, making it impossible for them to attack it.

What several Soochow generals could do at this time was to order the soldiers to rescue the vehicles that had not yet burned, and to minimize some losses as much grain and grass as they could. And what Liu Bei could do was to order his soldiers to release arrows at the head of the city to prevent the Wu army from getting the grain carts. The final result was that Wu Jun got a few scattered grain trucks, and at the same time took a few lives.
