Nine Void Mountain, east.

Barracks, the big tent of the Chinese army.

Pan Jun bowed down and stood in the big tent, with a guilty look, and said: "General, the last general is incompetent, not only did he not capture Liu Xiu's camp, but he lost more than a thousand soldiers, please punish the general." ”

After Tai Shici heard this, there was a trace of solemnity between his eyebrows.

Pan Jun's ability is known to him, he dares to fight and kill, and he is also quite resourceful, and he is a fierce general on the battlefield.

The soldiers led by Pan Jun are also elite.

However, Pan Jun led the army forward, but suffered heavy casualties, which shows that Liu Xiu's troops are not weak.

It's just that the rest of the generals in the big tent looked at Pan Jun with a hint of mockery in their eyes. In this battle, I originally thought that Pan Jun would come out on top and get the first credit, but I didn't expect Pan Jun to end up disgraced.

Tai Shi Ci suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked, "How about the other party's losses?"

Pan Jun's face was ugly, and he said, "Back to General Yu, Liu Xiu's loss is almost zero. At that time, the last general didn't even enter the opponent's camp. ”

"Shhh

The sound of gasping cold air sounded one after another.

The eyes of the generals in the army who looked at Pan Jun changed again.

If there was schadenfreude in the eyes that looked at Pan Jun just now, now they have become dignified. The generals in the army all know each other, and the other generals know Pan Jun's ability.

Liu Xiu was able to stop Pan Jun outside the camp, which was enough to show Liu Xiu's ability.

This is precisely what the generals feared.

Tai Shici's face also showed a rare heavy look, and said, "Explain the details carefully." ”

Pan Jun was dissatisfied with the concealment and told the matter again.

After hearing this, everyone fell silent. From Pan Jun's words, they also knew that Liu Xiu's troops were not many, but Liu Xiu's defense was not leaky, and they were linked step by step, without the slightest flaw.

Tai Shi Ci said with a straight face: "Liu Xiu's defense is strong, but the strength is insufficient after all. More than 1,000 troops, under the attack of more than 10,000 elites of the general, it is impossible to hold on. Even though Liu Xiu set up the formation skillfully, in the face of absolute strength, Liu Xiu would definitely be defeated. ”

After a pause, Tai Shici said: "Pan Jun, you have lost this time, let's write it down for the time being." Tomorrow, go into battle to kill the enemy, and make up for the merits. The order went down, the whole army rested tonight, and attacked Liu Xiu tomorrow. ”

"No!"

The generals were commanded to withdraw.

Tai Shici sat alone in the tent, Pan Jun's words circling in his head. From the analysis of Pan Jun's fruitless return, Liu Xiu is also extremely proficient in marching and arranging.

Previously, Liu Xiu showed more literary brilliance.

Essay Cai, Cao Cao and the military generals under his command are all up to him. The Wenchen of Jiangdong, after knowing Liu Xiu's literary talent, did not dare to boast in front of Liu Xiu.

In addition, Liu Xiu also showed swordsmanship and archery.

The above two aspects are enough to reflect Liu Xiuyun and Wen Yunwu. Now, add to that the mastery of the art of war and strategy.

Such a humanistic and martial arts is very rare.

Liu Xiusheng was in Jingzhou, which was a disaster for Jiangdong.

Tai Shici's eyes narrowed, and he muttered, "This battle, no matter what, must take you." Even if it is a loss of soldiers, it is worth it to take you. ”

......

After nightfall, the waning moon hangs high.

Nine Void Mountain, the top of the mountain.

Liu Pan has been waiting for Liu Xiu to answer, waiting for Liu Xiu to attack the mountain, and then he will go down the mountain and join Liu Xiu. It's just that Liu Xiu camped at the foot of the mountain and clashed with the Jiangdong army.

This situation disappointed Liu Pan.

Huang Zhong sensed Liu Pan's anxiety and said with relief: "General Pan, don't worry, since Gongzi Xiu has arrived at Jiuxu Mountain, he will definitely find a way to save us." ”

Liu Pan nodded and said, "Since the third brother is here, he will naturally try his best to save us." It's just that there are not many troops under his command, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us. Tai Shi Ci is eyeing the tiger, and he will not give up. ”

Although looking forward to Liu Xiu's rescue, Liu Pan is also very worried about the current situation.

After all, Liu Xiu's troops were insufficient.

After hearing this, Huang Zhong sighed lightly. He looked down the mountain, stared at Liu Xiu's military camp, and said slowly: "In the first battle in the afternoon, judging from the battle between the two sides, it was Gongzi Xiu who won. Next, as long as Gongzi Xiu blocks Tai Shici's offensive, he will definitely be able to accept us down the mountain. ”

Liu Pan thought for a while and said, "Why don't we take the initiative to go down the mountain." ”

Huang Zhong shook his head and said, "No, if we go down the mountain, it will immediately affect the situation and make the situation change." When the time comes, it may disrupt Gongzi's plan. ”

Liu Pan said: "We have been staying in the mountains, and it is not a long-term solution." ”

"General Pan, wait, wait, wait. ”

Huang Zhong's gaze turned from the barracks to look at Liu Pan. However, in his mind, the situation of the military camp suddenly appeared, and his eyes immediately returned to the military camp, and said, "General, look at the military camp under the mountain." ”

Liu Pan stared at the barracks, looked carefully for a long time, and found nothing unusual, and asked, "Hansheng, there is no situation, what did you find?"

Huang Zhong said: "General, pay careful attention to the place where there are torches in the camp, it is a row of words. ”

Liu Pan watched carefully and also discovered the situation.

The layout of the torches in the barracks was actually arranged in words.

"Beacon smoke is the number, and the west side breaks through. ”

Eight words, lined up at the bottom of the mountain. If you look at the arrangement of the firelight, you feel that this row of characters is very obvious. When Liu Pan saw it, his eyes showed joy, and he said, "Okay, what a firelight message." The third brother's move is very exquisite. ”

Huang Zhongzheng said: "The cultivation of Gongzi is outstanding, and it is indeed extraordinary. ”

The torches in the barracks were specially designed by Liu Xiu.

Tai Shi Ci trapped Liu Pan and Huang Zhong in Jiuxu Mountain, and soldiers were set up to block the checkpoints in all directions, and it was impossible for Liu Xiu's soldiers to rush directly up the mountain. If you want to inform Liu Pan, you have to find another way.

This strategy was considered by Liu Xiu.

Liu Pan said: "Hansheng, we have received the news now, how can we inform the third brother?"

Huang Zhong smiled and said, "General, it's actually very simple to inform Master Xiu. We lit a fire on the mountain, the fire burned, and the smoke billowed out, and the cultivator must have understood. Moreover, Xiu Gongzi wrote the beacon smoke as a number, not only that he informed us of the time of action, but also that we received the news from another aspect, and it was also a way to inform him. ”

Liu Pan was overjoyed and ordered the soldiers to act.

Dry wood was lit on the mountain, and the red fire was lit, and the smoke billowed into the sky.

This situation was noticed by the Jingzhou soldiers in the western military camp and immediately informed Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu came to the outside of the camp tent, looked up and saw the fire burning on the top of the mountain, and ordered the soldiers to extinguish the torches in the camp.

After the torch was extinguished, the fire on the mountain was also extinguished after a short time.

In this case, Liu Xiu even understood that Liu Pan must have received the news.

The movement on the top of the mountain reached Tai Shici's ears.

Tai Shi Ci learned that a fire was burning on the mountain, and it was quickly extinguished, and he guessed in his heart what information Liu Pan wanted to tell Liu Xiu, but Tai Shi Ci couldn't guess the specific information, so he could only brake quietly.

Early the next morning, Liu Xiu pulled out the camp and led the army to attack the garrison west of Jiuxu Mountain.

After Tai Shici got the news, he also led the army to set off and went straight to the west of Jiuxu Mountain. However, Liu Xiu took the lead in reaching the west of Jiuxu Mountain, lit a beacon fire, and launched a fierce attack.

When the smoke was everywhere, Liu Pan got the news and led more than 1,000 soldiers on the mountain down the mountain.

Liu Xiu attacked the Jiangdong soldiers stationed at the bottom of the mountain, and Liu Pan and Huang Zhong led the soldiers to swoop down from the mountain. The two sides flanked, and the checkpoint set up by Tai Shici was quickly broken.

After the two sides converged, Liu Xiu met Liu Pan.

At this time, Liu Pan was tired and haggard. But the look in his eyes was extraordinarily bright. Standing in front of Liu Xiu, Liu Pan said excitedly: "Third brother, without you, I can only be trapped and die on the mountain." Great grace is not to be thanked, everything is in the words. ”

Liu Xiu said: "My own brother, you don't have to be like this. ”

After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "Brother, this time to save you down the mountain, my plan is like this,......" Immediately, Liu Xiu told the whole plan, Liu Pan listened to it, praised again and again, and said: "The third brother's plan is very good, I listen to you." ”

Huang Zhong hugged his fists and said: "Everything is subject to the arrangement of Master Xiu." ”

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go down the mountain." ”

The army went down the mountain, and as soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they met Tai Shici, who led the army to kill.

At this time, Tai Shici was wearing armor, an iron helmet, and a big gun in his hand, and his eyes fell on the Jingzhou soldiers under the mountain. His eyes were sharp, his spear pointed far ahead, and he shouted: "Liu Xiu Liu Pan, you have been surrounded, immediately lay down your weapons and surrender, I will spare you death." ”

The black army has blocked all the roads west of Jiuxu Mountain.

If Liu Xiu wants to break through, the only way is to break through
