Chapter 45 Lure the enemy, Xiahoudun marches into the army
Zhang Fei was taken aback.
Liu Bei didn't speak, his eyes were slightly closed, still thinking about how to deal with Xiahoudun's pursuit.
This Northern Expedition, for Liu Bei, was actually too hasty.
There is a gap in the number of troops.
The equipment and armament of the soldiers are not as good as those of the soldiers.
The right-hand man around him, although he is assisted by Xu Shu, the real decision-maker can only be Liu Bei himself.
This battle has been fought so far, Liu Bei is also mentally tense to the extreme, and if he can seize a little time to rest, he quickly closes his eyes to recuperate, as for what Zhang Fei shouted, Liu Bei didn't have the heart to listen carefully.
This third brother, his temperament is already at a glance?
A little thing, just a lot of trouble.
Liu Bei ignored Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, who had closed his phoenix eyes to recuperate, opened his eyes.
"Neixiang soldiers, is that the team that defeated Hou Cheng?" Guan Yu raised his eyebrows, and his voice was not loud, but he was not angry and arrogant, which made people unable to resist.
Guan Yu was proud of his life, and he always looked down on the so-called celebrities and scholars, on the contrary, Guan Yu respected talents from humble backgrounds.
Xiahoudun sent Xiahoulan and Hou Chengcheng to become generals, led a Cao army to kill Xinye, and almost copied Liu Bei's lair, which caused a lot of trouble a while ago.
Guan Yu has also heard about it.
Although his news is not as well-informed as Zhang Fei, he has also heard of it.
Xiahou Lan and the like, Guan Yu didn't pay attention to it.
But Hou Cheng is not a nameless crime, this person was a strong general under Wenhou Lu Bu back then, Guan Yu saw Hou Cheng a few times when he was in Xuzhou, and he knew this person's ability.
The inner village soldiers were able to defeat Hou Cheng's troops, and their leading generals were not a figure.
Jian Yong heard Guan Yu's question, and hurriedly said: "General Guan, Wei Shi is the county lieutenant of Neixiang County, and he is also the person who formed the Neixiang soldiers, this person is said to be from the Wei clan in Nanyang, but he is a discrete and poor family, and he can't verify the authenticity?" ”
When Jian Yong was Pingyuan, the people who followed Liu Bei were very familiar with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's temperament.
Guan Yu is a light doctor, but he loves soldiers like children.
Zhang Fei respects the soldiers, but despises the soldiers.
Jian Yong also had a headache in the face of Liu Bei's two sworn brothers, and he didn't dare to be a little contemptuous.
Zhang Fei was emotional, and Liu Bei could ignore it.
Guan Yu also joined the discussion, and Liu Bei finally couldn't sit still.
"Wei Shi, the county lieutenant of Neixiang? It turned out to be his ....... Liu Bei moved his lower hips and sat for a long time, which made his thighs sore, which was quite uncomfortable.
Age is unforgiving.
Just riding a horse back and forth in Ye County, Liu Bei felt that his energy was low, his body was not as good as before, and he was in a tight deficit.
Wei Shi.
Liu Bei finally remembered that his wife Mi Zhen had recommended this person to him.
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang also mentioned that Wei Shi is a person who values profit and forgets righteousness, and he sees money and his eyes are open, but now he has the ability, as for whether he can use it, it remains to be seen.
put it under Zhao Yun's hands to go through the exercises, but it did not lose a safe strategy.
If it is really transferred to the command of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it will be the main force, and if there is a mistake that affects the overall victory or defeat of the Northern Expedition, it will be a big trouble.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei waved his hand towards Guan and Zhang, and said: "Yun Chang, Yide, don't fight over this matter, then since Wei Shi has agreed, let him be with Zilong, it just so happens that there is a task to lure the enemy next, and Zilong needs to complete it?" ”
Wei Shi followed Zhao Yun to Bowangpo and Liu Bei's army.
When he led the Neixiang soldiers to camp, he didn't know the controversy in Liu Bei's army's big tent, nor did he know that a difficult task would soon fall on his head.
——
Yexian South.
A large group of Cao cavalry was rapidly advancing along the official road.
This official road was the main road from Yingchuan County to Nanyang County, Jingzhou when the Han Dynasty was strong, and the emperor issued an edict and used tens of thousands of people to build it.
After more than 100 years of changes, although the official road has been dilapidated, several pavilions and post houses are still there, but the article symbolizing the dignity of the Han family has long been gone.
Cao Qiyou drank and marched south, judging from the banner they were waving, the big characters "Jianwu General Xiahou" were waving in the wind, and under the general flag, there were several Cao army generals riding side by side.
"Wen Ze, Ye County, you and I worked together, and Liu Bei was frustrated for a while, which was really happy. It's a pity that Liu Bei's legs are fast, so he escaped. ”
"Now, what we have to do is to immediately hurry up and chase after the tail, so as not to let Liu Bei have the opportunity to flee south again, and when we reach Wancheng and Xinye, you and I will capture Liu Bei, escort it back to Xu Du, and dedicate it to the emperor's palace, when the time comes, haha......."
Xiahoudun rode a tall black horse, with a pair of eyes like an eagle falcon, looking left and right triumphantly, and swept away the decadence when he heard Xiahoulan's defeat.
Beside him, Cao Yuban's face was pale, and he didn't look very good, but after hearing Xiahou Xuan's bold words, he was silent for a while and did not answer.
In terms of the time of defecting to Cao Cao, Yu Ban can be regarded as early, but in terms of closeness, it cannot be compared with the surname Xiahou.
The Xiahou family and the Cao family are in-laws, although they are not the same surname, but they are Cao Cao's clan brothers, and the relationship is not ordinary.
After thinking for a while, Yu Ban finally spoke: "Yuan Rang, Ban has a worry, Liu Bei made such a big momentum of the Northern Expedition, and retreated after only one battle, which really makes people wonder, do you think there will be fraud?" ”
"Fraud? What's the scam? Liu Bei's soldiers are all newly recruited straw shoe soldiers, in addition to running fast like him, what other skills do they have? ”
Xiahoudun laughed and laughed.
Compared with Cao Cao's hundred battles, Liu Bei's soldiers are indeed not as good as many.
The defeats again and again have almost exhausted the old pawns under Liu Bei, and even if there are still some left to fight, they have long lost the courage to fight hard.
"I can't hear that Xiahoulan and Hou Cheng's defeat in Xinye this time was done by Liu Bei's new army, and we must not take the enemy lightly."
Yu Ban was cautious, and when he heard that Xiahoudun looked down on Liu Bei, he hurriedly persuaded him.
It's just that it's okay that he didn't mention Xiahoulan and Hou Cheng, but he became angry when he mentioned Xiahoudun.
"Hmph, Wen Ze, you don't need to say it, I have been rewarded by the defeated army, Xiahou Lan, an incompetent and cowardly coward, has already demoted Liu Bei, and when I take Xinye City, I must take its head, and then hold a clan meeting to expel his name from the Xiahou family family register."
Xiahoudun chose Xiahoulan as the main general.
The original intention was to give this family a chance to make meritorious contributions, but they didn't want to, Xiahoulan was not angry, not only did not make meritorious contributions, but also fought a big defeat, which made Xiahoudun very faceless.
"Report to General Xiahou, the front is five miles away from Bowangpo, and I found that Liu Beijun set up camp to block the way.....
While Xiahoudun and Yu Ban were talking, the dust was flying in front of them, and a scout from Cao Jun rushed over.
