Chapter 16: Fighting Cao Ren
Cao Ren led the army to cross the Baihe River, Li Dian sent someone to report, and Liu Qi took the initiative to go out of the city and set up camp to resist the enemy.
Cao Ren sneered: "Sick man Liu Qi, a small victory is so rampant, I don't know how thick the sky is, let you learn the real art of war." ”
Before Cao Jun drove to the camp, the two armies set up a position, and saw that Liu Qi looked weak on the horse, and next to him was a white-haired veteran, nearly fifty years old.
Cao Ren became more and more disdainful, and sneered: "The old, weak, sick and disabled, how dare you resist my army? ”
Li Dian said: "Lian Po is seventy, but he is still able to fight Qin soldiers, this person is the person who fought Lu Xiang, and the general should not be underestimated." ”
Cao Ren pouted and smiled: "General Li is out of battle to see how strong it is." ”
Li Dian frowned and said: "Liu Qi deliberately showed weakness before the battle, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hid in the camp, I'm afraid there is fraud!" ”
Cao Ren said angrily: "When you were in Fancheng, you were passive and sluggish, slowing down the hearts of our army, and now you have repeatedly shirked and refused to meet the enemy, do you have two hearts?" ”
Li Dian had no choice but to fight the horse and call the formation, and Liu Qi glanced at Huang Zhong, and Huang Zhong raised his knife and stepped out.
The drums of the two armies in front of the formation were loud, and the two stepped forward to fight, although Li Dian had good martial arts, but where was Huang Zhong's opponent, he couldn't resist it if he didn't have ten he, and he had the heart to retreat.
Cao Ren saw that Li Dian was so a veteran and retreated, he suddenly lost face and yelled: "Beat the drum!" ”
Knock Knock Knock –
The drums in front of Cao's army became more and more intensive, and Li Dian listened to the drums and trumpets to ask him to fight hard, so he had to grit his teeth and fight again.
Barely passing Wuhe again, I saw Huang Zhong shouting, the white beard fluttered up, and the big knife was cut down from the air.
Li Dian's weapon flew out, and the man shook on the horse, and before he could sit down, he saw Huang Zhong urging the horse to approach, reached out and grabbed the belt of the robe, dragged it to himself, and galloped in response.
"General Lee!" Cao Ren was so frightened that he was about to hit a horse to save him, when he suddenly saw a fiery red shadow shaking at the gate, like a flame.
Looking intently, I saw that it was the red rabbit horse that poked out its head there, and immediately a person with a bare face and long beard was slanting over, with a murderous face.
Cao Ren was shocked, raised his knife and shouted: "Guan Yunchang, you don't want to hide in the dark and attack people, do you dare to go out of the camp to fight?" ”
Back then, Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang, and Cao Ren saw it with his own eyes, and that knife is still reflected in his mind.
This person is like thunder with a knife, and it is no joke to be attacked by him.
Liu Qi was disappointed when he saw that Cao Ren did not come to save people, and asked Huang Zhong to escort Li Dian down, and Guan Yu urged the horse to come out of the gate slowly.
Danfeng's eyes narrowed into a slit, his three-foot long hair fluttered in the spring breeze, his robe swelled, and the red rabbit horse raised his head and shaved his hooves, and his momentum was unruly.
Liu Qi could clearly see the nervousness of Cao Ying's soldiers, they were as tense as bowstrings, Cao Ren also held the big sword across his chest on guard, and the archers on both sides stretched their bows and arrows, aiming far away.
Cao Ren shouted: "Yun Chang, Brother Ru was killed by Liu Biao's father and son, why do you still recognize the thief as your father and die for them?" ”
Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes opened slightly, the cold light burst out, and he stroked his beard and said: "Right and wrong, Guan knows himself, and there is no need for outsiders to discuss." ”
Cao Renyan said: "Cheng has admired the general for a long time, and he treated him with courtesy when he was in Xuchang, and he has never forgotten it, why not help the Son of Heaven together and level the world?" ”
Guan Yu said coldly: "Cao Cao deceived the king, and a certain brother swore to destroy the traitor!" Cao Zixiao, Hugh is noisy, come and fight! ”
Cao Ren's face changed slightly, and he laughed and said: "A certain general, how can he be brave?" ”
pointed at Liu Qi with a knife: "Liu Qi, do you dare to fight with me?" ”
Liu Qi asked, "What is a fighting array?" ”
Cao Renyan said: "Tomorrow I will lay a post here, if you can break it, I will withdraw from Fancheng, how about it?" ”
Liu Qi nodded and smiled: "A word is a certainty!" ”
Cao Ren was secretly happy in his heart, and ordered the troops to be collected and camped, and the generals were summoned to arrange the formation.
Li Dian was captured, and he was the only general left, although Liu Qi had few soldiers, he still had to wait for Zhang and others, so naturally he would not fight easily.
This set of formations has been practiced for several years, as long as Guan Yu and others are lured into the formation, even if he has great ability, it will be difficult to escape the ascension to heaven and capture Guan Zhang and others, Liu Qi will not be afraid.
Liu Qi dismissed the troops and returned to the village, ordered someone to escort Li Dian up, and asked, "Are you willing to surrender?" ”
Li Dian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "My father and son have received the great favor of the prime minister, how can they betray?" I only hate General Cao for not listening to my advice, and I am afraid that Fancheng will not be protected. ”
"Oh?" Liu Qi knew that Li Dian was quite strategic, and he was able to see through his own strategy, so he liked it more and more in his heart, and asked, "Your Excellency is also from Shanyang, right?" ”
Li Dian was stunned, and suddenly remembered that Liu Biao was also from Shanyang, and nodded slightly.
Liu Qi sighed: "Cao Cao's name is Han Xiang, but he is actually a Han thief, no different from Dong Zhuo. Since you and I are fellow villagers, we should be united in begging for thieves, why don't we abandon the darkness and turn to the light? ”
Li Dian shook his head and said: "I have studied the Spring and Autumn Period, and I know the word loyalty, how can I be ungrateful and betray the Lord?" ”
Guan Yu suddenly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You also read Spring and Autumn? ”
Li Dian was stunned, nodded and said: "I studied since I was a child, I read the "Spring and Autumn Zuo Biography", admired the loyalty of the ancients, and never became a repeated villain. ”
Guan Yu snorted slightly, closed his eyes and stroked his beard, and said coldly: "A person who does not distinguish between right and wrong is a fool and loyal!" ”
"You ......" Li Dian was furious, and was about to refute two sentences, when he suddenly realized that he was not a prisoner under the steps, and sighed dejectedly, bowing his head and saying nothing.
Liu Qi said with a smile: "The general doesn't know, my second uncle often reads the Spring and Autumn Period at night, and he can't let go of the scroll, if the general has experience, why not learn a thing or two?" ”
Li Dian looked at Guan Yu, who was holding his long beard and turned his face slightly, and said, "I want to understand!" ”
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the wealthy families were all passed down from generation to generation, and a set of scriptures and classics were like the martial arts secrets of the martial arts sect, which was not only a family heirloom, but also a matter of face.
Li Dian studied literature from his teacher, and naturally he also had some integrity, and he didn't want to lose to a martial artist like Guan Yu.
"Come with so-and-so!" Guan Yu flicked his robe lightly and walked out with his hands behind his back.
Liu Qi asked Guan Ping to take Li Dian down, and told him to look at it, not to anger Guan Yu, and he was cut with a knife.
Li Dian is not a real general, he is quite strategic, if Guan Yu can persuade him to surrender, he will be Guan Yu's army in the future, and the two have a common language.
After all, Guan Yu is a halfway monk in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he understands it all by himself, Li Dian is a famous teacher and a professional background, if they can communicate with each other, they may be able to change Guan Yu's temper.
At this time, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun led the troops back to the camp, and Zhang Fei was dissatisfied: "Cao Ren, this kid, didn't dare to fight with my second brother, causing me to wait for a long time in vain." ”
It turned out that before today's battle, Liu Qi designed to let Guan Yu capture Li Dian, and when Cao Ren came to save people, Guan Yu stepped forward to catch the enemy, and the two ambushes were killed, so that Cao Jun could be defeated and Cao Ren captured.
Who knew that Cao Ren didn't dare to fight Guan Yu, so he could only make another plan, but it was okay to buy Wei Yan more time.
Liu Qi asked the two to go back to rest, and asked Xu Shu: "Cao Ren is going to set up a military formation tomorrow, can the military advisor know the formation?" ”
Xu Shu said with a smile: "I often travel with Kong Ming and others in Longzhong, Qimen Dunjia knows a little bit about it, and I know it tomorrow." ”
Speaking of Zhuge Liang, Liu Qi felt itchy in his heart, and said angrily: "I don't know when I will be able to see Mr. Wolong." ”
