Chapter 39: The Comeback
After Gan Ning took Ye County, Liu Qi ordered Guan Yu and Xu Shu to stay in Bowang and personally lead troops to reinforce him.
When the news of Cao Cao's personal expedition came, Yexian County would become a meat grinder to meet Cao's army, and Zhuge Liang's plan had also begun to be deployed, which would be a fateful battle.
Three days later, the dust outside Yexian County was flying, and the Cao army was killed again, and more than 100,000 troops were mighty, and the flag covered the sun.
Liu Qi took people to the city to see, and saw that the Cao army who came this time had bright armor and a neat lineup, which was more powerful than the previous Xiahou Dun's department.
Zhuge Liang watched the formation and said: "This must be the Qingzhou soldiers collected by Cao Cao, and they are the elite of Cao's army." ”
Zhang Fei laughed and said: "It's good, I like to play elite!" ”
Gan Ning asked for an order: "It's better to take advantage of the fact that its position is not stable, and kill the general first." ”
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "This time the Cao army is coming, it has been prepared, and the left and right flanks are arranged in formation. ”
Gan Ning snorted slightly, quite dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang, but seeing that Liu Qi did not give an order, he had to retreat aside.
This time, Cao's army was really very patient, first lined up and camped, and deployed strictly along the mountain road, and when all the arrangements were ready, a group of people immediately stepped forward to call for battle.
Before the people approached, Zhang Fei shouted: "It turns out that it is Cao Ren again, I will arrest him this time!" ”
Liu Qi saw that Zhang Fei was eager to fight, and said with a smile: "The first formation will be handed over to Yide!" ”
Zhuge Liang said: "If Cao Ren is defeated and retreats, remember not to chase the enemy, in case of a plan." ”
"Got it!" Zhang Fei didn't want to pay attention to Zhuge Liang, and went down to the city to fight.
The drums in the city were loud, Zhang Fei led the troops out, the two armies set up a formation, Cao Ren wanted to be ashamed, staring at Zhang Fei with fire in his eyes.
This time he was exchanged as a hostage, and Cao Ren's official position was demoted by three levels, which was secondary, and being stripped naked and captured by Wei Yan was the pain in his heart.
Zhang Fei raised his spear and shouted: "Cao Ren, you white-eyed wolf, I treat you with good wine and meat in vain, and I am not ashamed!" ”
Cao Ren knew that he was not Zhang Fei's opponent, and said in a deep voice: "I won't fight with you, let that red-faced one come out!" ”
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "If you want to fight with my second brother, you must first beat me." ”
Cao Ren gritted his teeth: "Tell Wei Yan to come out, I will fight him to the death!" ”
Zhang Fei laughed and said: "Hahaha, Cao Zixiao, you remember General Wei so much, don't you still want to be captured by him?" ”
"Zhang Fei, don't deceive people too much!"
At this moment, a person rushed out of Cao's army formation, raised his knife and killed Zhang Fei.
"Chang Diao, be careful!" Cao Ren was shocked, it was too late to stop him.
Zhang Fei sat on the horse and understated, only waiting for the enemy general to rush to the front, then he raised the snake spear, held his big knife, and suddenly opened his eyes wide, and shouted!
This shout was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and even the sound of the drum was overshadowed, and I saw Chang Diao shaking on the horse, and he actually bled and fell off the horse.
Gan Ning exclaimed: "It turns out that what this sunspot said is true! ”
"It's really a tiger general!" Zhuge Liang also nodded in admiration.
Zhang Fei cleared his throat and beckoned to Cao Ren again: "Come and let me arrest me!" ”
Although Cao Ren was frightened, in front of the two armies, He had suffered such humiliation, and he yelled and urged the horse to go up, and the two fought in the field.
Zhang Fei drank the enemy general to death without making a move, and Jingzhou's morale increased greatly, and they all raised their weapons and shouted, and the two armies beat the drums hard, and the drums shook the sky.
The two fought hard, twenty or thirty were evenly matched, Cao Ren fought to the death, and Zhang Fei became more and more courageous, like a tiger fighting, and the scene was fierce.
When Zhang Fei was in Xuzhou and Yuzhou, he was defeated by Cao's military tactics many times, and he had nowhere to show his martial arts.
Under the slanting sun, the war horses ran back and forth, the dust was flying, and the sergeants on both sides shouted and cheered, and this battle was terrifying.
Although Zhang Fei's martial arts are higher than Cao Ren's, he can't stand Cao Ren's fight to the death, and he wants to lose both sides many times, and the knife is even more powerful than Zhang Fei, and a knife flies up and down, like an angry dragon roaring.
The horizontal is afraid of being stunned, and the stunned is afraid of dying!
Cao Ren knew that if he was defeated again, he would have no shame to see Cao Cao, and he fought to the death with the determination to kill himself, but forced Zhang Fei into a hurry.
"Crazy, are you crazy?" Zhang Fei scolded while fighting, and wanted to succeed several times, but was forced to retreat by Cao Ren's desperate fight.
At this moment, the sound of singing gold sounded in Cao Ying, Cao Ren was sweating profusely, panting like a cow, seeing that Zhang Fei could not fight, he galloped back to his own formation.
Zhang Fei was able to kill, and he was about to chase him, but the sound of gold also sounded in the city, and the two armies withdrew their troops.
Zhang Fei returned to the city and complained: "If I take advantage of the situation to rush and kill, the general will answer, and the Cao army will be defeated!" ”
"Poor Kou Mo Chase!" Liu Qi said with a smile, "Cao Ren fought to the death, why should Yide fight with him?" It's not too late to fight again in the coming days. ”
Cao Hong called Cao Ren back and reassured: "The gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late!" In the small town of Ye County, the army will attack together tomorrow, and it can be broken with a snap of a finger, which will make Zixiao breathe this evil breath. ”
Cheng Yu reminded: "Liu Qi knows that Ye County is uncomfortable, and he is afraid that he will come to rob the camp, and he needs to prevent the defeat of General Xiahou." ”
Cao Hong smiled: "There is a lesson from the past, how can a certain be defenseless?" If Liu Qi dares to come tonight, he will be told that he will not come back. ”
Han Hao said: "The general didn't know, and General Xiahou also expected that Liu Qi would come to rob the camp, but he shook a shot, so he hit the plan, and Zhang Fei and others rushed to the camp, and no one could stop them, so they were defeated." ”
Cao Hong nodded and said: "The soldiers are expensive but not too expensive, sometimes the soldiers are too many to cause chaos on their own, and they have their own countermeasures." ”
First ordered the soldiers to bury the pot to cook, and after dark, quietly divided the men and horses into three parts, and after Cao Ren led the battalion, he hid ambush soldiers on the left and right mountains.
In Yexian County, Liu Qi ordered Gan Ning to inspect and defend the city, and the generals returned to the camp to rest and rest, and there was no intention of sneaking up on the camp.
Yexian is short and dilapidated, not as good as Bowang, and beyond the front mountain range is Kunyang, where it is open, and Cao's army can continue to reinforce.
At this time, the Central Plains was like a dam, and Yexian was the gate to the Nanyang channel, and once it was broken through, Cao's army would pour in like a flood, and it was overwhelming.
Liu Qi said: "Although Cao Ren is defeated, but Cao's army is powerful, it can only be outwitted, not hard to fight with it, Mr. advances and retreats, frustrates the enemy's spirit, how to defend Ye County next?" ”
Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Cao Jun came in anger, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, Cao Ren was defeated, tonight you can use the strategy of tired soldiers, it is bound to decline." ”
Liu Qi asked, "Will Ji be released?" ”
Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "To deal with the frightened bird, you don't need to use arrows, the bowstring rings, and you can sit back and enjoy it." ”
Liu Qi smiled knowingly: "Mr. Gaojian, tonight will definitely make Cao Jun not peaceful!" ”
After dinner, Liu Qi called Kou Feng and arranged for him to act according to the plan.
Speaking of Kou Feng, he is a talent, his martial arts are not bad, he is clever and smart, he is indeed a rare general, otherwise he would not be accepted by Liu Bei as a righteous son.
It's a pity that fate made people, and the son of the moth was not as good as his own Liu Chan after all, and finally died in the political struggle.
Worshipping the father-in-law and changing his surname seems to be a step to the sky, but it has become a life-urging talisman!
