In the evening, Zhuge Liang led the army to arrive and set up camp outside the city.

Zhuge Liang did not blame Gan Ning, and said: "Although Lu Qian is not as good as Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan, he cannot underestimate the enemy. ”

Gan Ning hurriedly said: "Now there is only one city left, Xingyang, you can take Luoyang directly, foolishly think that Cao Jun should not be given a chance to breathe, in one fell swoop to break the city and go straight to the tiger prison and Guandu, Zhang Liao had to divide troops to rescue, and General Guan was waiting for the opportunity to move." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Although I don't have to attack the city, I can also take the tiger prison directly, why bother here?" ”

Gan Ning was stunned: "Didn't the military advisor want to cross Xingyang and attack the tiger prison directly?" ”

"Yes!" Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, "This time the troops are intended to be in Luoyang and Hebei, and now Lu Qian is already at the end of the strong crossbow, and he is only stubbornly resisting, only one soldier and horse are needed, and the army can take a detour to take the tiger prison." ”

"Strategist's clever plan!" Gan Ning's eyes lit up: "Lu Qian guarded Xingyang to the death, so he told him to enter and not leave, and sit and wait to die." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly and said: "The heavy task of attacking the Tiger Prison Pass, General Fei Gan is not up to the task, and he will lead 3,000 troops early tomorrow morning and go to the Tiger Prison Pass first." ”

"Yes!" Gan Ning laughed and said: "In the past, there was a battle in the Tiger Prison Pass, and a certain hatred was far away in Xichuan, and he failed to fight with Lu Bu. ”

The generals went to prepare, Zhuge Liang left Huo Jun and Yang Ling alone, and ordered: "General Gan attacks the tiger prison, Lu Qian will intercept from Ao Mountain, and the two generals can ambush in the mountains overnight. ”

The Jingzhou army camped outside the city, and after the second general had eaten, he quietly left the camp to ambush under the cover of night.

The next day, Zhuge Liang ordered Chen to go to the city to fight, Lu Qian did not move, Gan Ning led 3,000 men and horses to the west, and soon Zhuge Liang led the army to follow.

The defenders of the city had already seen it, and hurriedly announced, Lu Qian was shocked: "Zhuge Liang is going west, he must attack the Tiger Prison Pass, and he must be intercepted." ”

Xin Bi frowned and said: "Zhuge Liang's army is approaching the tiger prison and threatening Luoyang, and it is expected that the general will come to the rescue. ”

Lu Qian said anxiously: "If the Tiger Prison Pass is lost, what is the use of guarding Xingyang?" There are still 5,000 defenders in Aocang, and a certain leader of the light cavalry went to the back of the mountain to ambush, if the front of Ganning is killed, Zhuge Liang will retreat, which can solve the urgent need. ”

"I'm afraid it's Zhuge trickery again." Simbi was already a little suspicious at this time.

"Saving soldiers is like fighting fire, it's too late to hesitate!" Xin Bi was still hesitating, but Lu Qian was already dressed up and prepared, leading his entourage out of the north gate and heading straight to Ao Cang in the northeast.

Xin Bi had no choice but to order the battalions to guard the city carefully, and personally went to the city to supervise the battle, but saw Zhuge Liang leading the troops away, Chen Zhi scolded for a while, leaving only 5,000 soldiers outside the city, and also went westward.

"Could it be that Zhuge Liang is rash against the enemy?" Seeing this, Simbi's brows furrowed.

Lu Qian's task is to guard Henan, protect Luoyang, and now the Luoyang palace is being rebuilt, secretly preparing for Cao Cao's accession, just waiting for the triumph of the northern expedition, you can be crowned the king of Wei because of your merits.

If Luoyang is lost at this time, all plans will be blocked, and now that Chang'an has been lost, Liu Qi must not be allowed to occupy the eastern capital again, otherwise the situation of the Wei army will be extremely unfavorable.

Lu Qian urged the horse to hurry, came to the land of Aocang Tun grain, transferred the defenders and went straight to the Xishan intersection to ambush, and sent people to inquire about the news, Gan Ning was coming from the mountain, and secretly said that heaven helped Cao Wei.

After a short time, the men and horses passed under the mountain, and Lu Qian ordered the drums to be beaten, and in an instant, the arrows were fired in unison, shooting down countless Jingzhou soldiers, and the Cao army was killed from the mountain.

Gan Ning was shocked, and when he saw Lu Qian commanding from a high place, he scolded: "The dog thief will sneak attack, can you dare to fight with a certain one?" ”

"Hahaha, Jinfan thief, you have another plan!" Lu Qian was condescending, and shot at Gan Ning with a bow and arrows.

Cao's army besieged Gan Ning's department, flanking from front to back, and it was imperative to eliminate it in the fastest possible time.

The sound of killing under Ao Mountain shook the sky, and the screams were endless, Su Fei scolded the soldiers for forming a formation to defend, and there were elite guards of the Jinfan Army, barely holding their feet.

Gan Ning slashed more than ten people with a knife, and wanted to dodge Lu Qian's secret arrows, so he was furious and rode up the slope to kill, but was repelled by Cao's indiscriminate arrows.

Boom Boom –

The two armies were fighting in full swing, and a cavalry rushed straight from the bottom of the mountain, and the white yak tail on the helmet was fluttering in the wind, and it was the white soldiers who arrived.

Chen Zhi swept left and right with a gun, and the Cao army that was besieging in the east was overturned by him, and instantly killed a bloody road, and the iron cavalry galloped, and the Cao army on the east road was scattered.

Lu Qian saw that the rescuers arrived, these two people were beyond his ability to fight the enemy, the ambush failed, and he was anxious, but he sighed helplessly, and told the horse to retreat.

"Do you still want to leave after the sneak attack?" Gan Ning was furious, and the Lingjin Fan Army chased after him.

Cao's army fought and walked, retreating into the mountains, the archers released their arrows with all their might, hurriedly bent their bows and arrows, and countless arrows rained densely towards Gan Ning, who was at the forefront of the charge, and also forced the Jingzhou soldiers who caught up to retreat.

Gan Ning snorted slightly, and the big knife flew up and down, dancing impermeable, rushing out of the rain of arrows, and approaching Cao Jun.

"Death to Lao Tzu!" Gan Ning urged the horse to leap forward, like a god descending to earth.

The big knife slashed a half-moon arc in mid-air, and the cold light swept through the crowd like a match, only to hear the sound of dense weapons colliding, countless weapons flew into the sky, and then a piece of Cao Jun fell.

"Stop this thief!" Lu Qian was taken aback, this momentum was so frightened that the mounters stood up, and Cao Jun all retreated.

Just when he was panicking, he suddenly heard the sound of drums and shouts of killing in the mountains, but another army horse came out from behind.

"Great, the rescuers ......" Lu Qian was pleasantly surprised, but his face changed greatly when he turned his head.

I saw that it was not Cao Jun who appeared in the mountains, and I don't know when there was a team of Jingzhou soldiers hidden, Huo Jun and Yang Ling outflanked them left and right, and surrounded them in the middle.

"The only way to fight to the death is to live, kill with me!" Lu Qian desperately broke through and roared to meet the enemy.

Huo Jun rushed to the horse and fought with Lu Qian, Cao Jun was in a desperate situation at this time, and they all fought to the death, and the sound of killing in the mountains and fields shook the sky.

At this time, Gan Ning and Chen Zhi also led the troops to kill, the Jinfan Army and the Bai Yu soldiers joined forces, where could the Cao army resist, they were killed and lost their armor, and they were defeated into an army, and they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Gan Ning saw that Huo Jun couldn't fight for a long time, so he urged him to step forward and shouted: "Let me come!" ”

Before Huo Jun retreated, Gan Ning swung his sword to meet him, and Sanwuhe knocked the weak Lu Qian's blade away, and laughed: "Lao Er doesn't measure his own strength, why don't you descend quickly?" ”

"Hahaha, a certain person is treated favorably by Cao Gong, how can he descend to a rebel thief?"

Lu Qian saw that the Jingzhou soldiers were surrounded on all sides, and Gan Ning and others were eyeing each other, and the general trend was gone, so he roared and pulled out his sword and killed himself.

A bloody arrow flew into the air, and the corpse crashed to the ground, and there was a dead silence on the hillside.

Cao Jun was all ashamed, bowed his head one after another, and Gan Ning sighed lightly: "It's also a loyal martyr, let's bury it!" ”
