The general who will go around the future is none other than Li Dian, who is not on good terms with Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao suppressed the bandits for a long time and did not return, Liu Fu was afraid that he would lose, so he sent people to Lishan to investigate, and happened to meet Zhang Liao's scouts.

When he learned that Taishi Ci trapped Zhang Liao in Yushui, and there were no Jiangdong soldiers and horses in the direction of Shouchun, including the Jiangjunling outpost, there was no warning.

Liu Fu didn't know what Tai Shici's intentions were, so he suggested that Li Dian go to Jiangjunling to investigate first, and then decide whether to support Zhang Liao or not according to the situation.

Li Dian and Zhang Liao have deep grievances, Liu Fu doesn't think that his face is enough to resolve hatred, but he believes that Li Dian is quite knowledgeable and will grasp the balance in front of the overall situation.

After Liu Fu sent troops to Li Dian, he also sent scouts back to Xudu to deliver the message.

Tai Shici suddenly appeared in Lishui, it is difficult to guarantee whether there is a conspiracy in Jiangdong, Liu Fu's military vision is not enough, so he thinks it is most appropriate to consult Cao Cao, but he does not know that Cao Cao is out of the army at this time, and he is leading the army to the direction of Liyang.

It was also because of Liu Fu's report this time that Cao Cao, who had just arrived by the Yellow River, hesitated.

Zhang Liao and Li Dian were not in Shouchun at this time, if Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were leading heavy troops to sneak attack, Liu Fu, who did not know the military strategy, would not be able to defend it with only 2,000 people.

Huainan was uneasy and distracted.

Cao Cao was worried that Zhang Liao and Li Dian would lose, so he sent Shi Jian to the south to supervise the battle, and at worst planned to replace Liu Fu Shouchun.

Shi Lian's battle report was less than the Yellow River for a day, Cao Cao was reluctant to cross the river to the north for a day, and Huainan was not as serious as imagined, and even had some small advantages.

After Li Dian inspected Jiangjunling, confirmed that there were no Jiangdong warships and troops, and then turned around and galloped to Lu'an.

Although he had a personal grudge with Zhang Liao, Li Dian was able to carry it at a critical moment, and he knew that if he did not send troops, Cao Cao would inevitably settle accounts in the future.

After Li Dian led his army westward, he was discovered by the adjutant general Zhao Fan in time.

Tai Shi Ci was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "It must be the lord who has taken Shouchun, and at this time he will send someone to support us, today is Zhang Liao's death." ”

"General Ziyi, is there a general surnamed Li under the command of the lord?" Zhao Fan frowned and asked.

"Surname Li?"

Tai Shici became serious, and said in his heart that although there were generals surnamed Li in Jiangdong, there was no general surnamed Li at the level of generals, and the only general, Li Shu, had been beheaded for two or three years.

"Bo Chang, you quickly go to the rear to form a formation, I suddenly feel uneasy."

"The last will go."

Zhao Fan had just beaten his horse and left, Tai Shici immediately attacked the formation, adjusted it to a defensive and withdrawn formation, he thought that if the situation changed, he would change the front team to the rear team, and immediately evacuate this place.

As for helping Sun Quan contain Zhang Liao? If the Cao army can still come from the direction of Shouchun, either the combat effectiveness of the Wu army has collapsed to the point of a lesson, or Sun Quan's army has not yet arrived.

No matter what the result is, Tai Shi Ci can't go on any longer.

His troops are Liu Xuan's old troops, and now the loss is a little less, Liyang has a small population and no troops to replenish, and Tai Shici does not dare to expect Sun Quan to increase his troops, so it is most important to preserve his strength.

Of course, Tai Shici still has hope.

Maybe the general surnamed Li is a newcomer who has not been activated by Sun Quan for a short time, and it is normal that he doesn't know him.

The sudden change in Taishi Ci's army formation attracted the attention of his opponent Zhang Liao, who was still suspicious that the other party had a conspiracy, and the army that had been holding him for a few days began to retreat in front of him.

Conspiracy?

Zhang Liao is located in the plain area southwest of Lu'an and east of Lushui, and there is no high ground for him to find that reinforcements have arrived, so he did not react in time when Tai Shici withdrew his troops.

When he heard the sound of fighting in the east, Li Dian's cavalry detoured from the north to warn, and Zhang Liao knew that it was the enemy's coming to help, and at this time he was helping him to hold off the opponent.

Zhang Liao was a little moved in his heart, and immediately launched a pursuit with Li Dian.

With such an opportunity to fight more and less, no matter Zhang Liao or Li Dian, they didn't want to miss it, and they said that Tai Shici ran so far to send it, and he was sorry for the sincerity of the other party if he didn't laugh.

There are only a few dozen war horses under Tai Shici's command, and the rest of the soldiers all run on two legs, but fortunately, most of the Cao troops on both roads are foot soldiers, and there is no unilateral crushing.

Located in the Jianghuai Plain, Zhang Liao and Li Dian's forces are not enough to encircle, and they can get some benefits on the way to pursue, it is not easy to completely eat the three or four thousand people of Tai Shi Ci, and it is not easy for Tai Shi Ci to get rid of it.

As for whether you can escape, the key depends on the physical strength of the soldiers on both sides, and also looks at the endurance of the soldiers on both sides.

Fortunately, both sides have a very low armor coverage rate, so they don't have to chase and flee with heavy armor.

Due to the disadvantage of his troops, Tai Shici's morale dropped during the retreat, and soldiers fell under the pursuing swords at any time.

Because it was to withdraw the army to Liyang, Tai Shici did not follow the route of the march when he came, but chose to pass through Hefei and take the north side of Chaohu, which was the closest route back to Liyang.

ran wildly for a day and a night, and Tai Shici's troops lost nearly half of their twists and turns.

At this time, the whole army was tired and hungry, if the Cao army still maintained a high-speed pursuit, the people brought out by Tai Shici from Liyang were likely to die in the end.

Fortunately, they are tired, and Cao Jun is also tired.

Zhang Liao and Li Dian chased ten miles west of Hefei New Town, and the Taishi Cibu, who was originally tired of running for their lives, suddenly stopped and formed a formation.

When the second general mistakenly thought that the opponent's physical strength was exhausted and planned to do the final battle of the trapped beast, two men and horses appeared in the southwest and northeast at the same time, surrounding the remnants of Tai Shici in the center.

The two soldiers and horses played the banner of 'Dragon' and 'Lu' respectively, and they didn't have to guess to know that Hefei Longxiang had arrived.

Zhang Liao grabbed the reins of his horse and said to himself: "Long Yunqi took over as the Taishou of Lujiang, could it be that he sent troops to help me?" ”

"General Zhang's face, I don't think it may be so big, Long Xiang stopped Tai Shici, but I didn't see them start fighting, at this time our soldiers are tired, if this person helps the enemy, you and I may suffer a big loss." Li Dian poured cold water on Zhang Liao as usual.

Zhang Liao frowned after hearing this, and said in a deep voice: "Since Long Xiang is guarded by Tai, he will not be so unwise, for Tai Shici to offend the lord, it will not be of any benefit to him, and I will go when I come forward." ”

"Okay, I'll take your lead."

Although Li Dian is unforgiving, he can still share the same hatred.

At the same time that Zhang Liao led the horse forward, Long Xiang had already met with Tai Shici, and he said that he had made a special trip to relieve the siege, so he ordered the letter to be suspicious and ordered to stay still, while Lu Su was blocked by Zhao Fan.

Several masters will slowly approach the center point, and finally form an irregular circle with a radius of two zhang from the midpoint.

Long Xiang, Xu Ding, and Cao Xing stopped at twelve o'clock, Tai Shici and Zhao Fan stopped at three o'clock, Lu Su, Xu Chu, and Hao Meng stopped at six o'clock, and Zhang Liao and Li Dian led the horses to nine o'clock.

Zhang Liao was in place at the end but made a preemptive strike, he held down the saddle and asked meaningfully: "Long Taishou led the troops here, I don't know what happened?" Won't it be to attack me? ”

"Definitely."

Long Xiang raised his horsewhip and shook it from side to side, laughing like a sunny and cheerful boy.

Tai Shi Ci's heart tightened when he heard this, and his heart said that this guy was really unreliable, and hurriedly spoke vigilantly: "Is Cheng going to deal with me?" ”

"Not really."

Long Xiang signaled Tai Shi Ci to be calm and not impatient, and then looked at Zhang Liao and said meaningfully: "Xiang is not aggressive in his life, but he is good at fighting."

Zhang Liao heard a stirring spirit, and said in his heart What kind of tiger and wolf words are these?
