Chapter 266: The Battle of Bishui (1)

At three o'clock, the south gate of Luoyang City was opened.

Carriages passed through the door quickly, followed by a group of soldiers, the number was not much, only more than 2,000 people, the men and horses in the city had gone out of the city in the name of training two days ago, leaving only the necessary number of people to defend Rongfu, about the overnight departure of the people had been repeatedly discussed many times, it can be said that the preparation was sufficient.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and in two quarters of an hour, when the last group of defenders at the south gate of the city also retreated outside the city, Zhuang Shaoyou rode on a horse, looking at this great Han capital, and came here for three months, and struggled in the power whirlpool of Luoyang for three months.

At the beginning of May, I came to Luoyang, the city gate was in turmoil, I got acquainted with Jian Shuo, bought officials, bribed Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and fought against He Jin, fought Yuan Shu, fought Yuan Shao, and fought for the throne in Xiyuan. Got acquainted with Cao Cao and Wang Yun, accepted Lejin, Xun You, Tian Feng and Ronghua, a big businessman, and accepted Cai Yan, a talented woman through the ages, and married the princess Liu Xuan tonight, helping the victims, curing the plague, leveling the price of grain, recruiting new soldiers, step by step, in three months, from an unknown Liaodong official to a world-famous general, like a dream and a fantasy.

On this midsummer night, about to leave this strange and familiar place, Zhuang Shaoyou's heart unexpectedly rose an inexplicable emotion.

If there is anything else worth nostalgic here, it may be the little palace maid who has only met once so far but is haunting!

As soon as he thought of the beautiful face with a faint and complaining eyebrow, Zhuang Shaoyou couldn't help but want to rush back and take her away, no matter what she thought, never let go! However, there are too many involuntary bodies in life, hundreds of thousands of life and death are tied to one, and life and death are decided by gestures, and they can't be reckless!

"Luoyang, I'll come back to see you! Hope you're still there then! ”

Turning the horse's head around, he galloped away.

At the south wharf of Luoyang City, people come and go, but it is surprisingly quiet, and a group of soldiers listen nervously and orderly to the command to board the ship, ready to leave Luoyang.

On a four-masted merchant ship, Zhuang Shaoyou gently comforted Liu Xuan, who was sobbing in his arms, and was ashamed, he was about to be separated from the bride on his wedding night, how did it sound a bit like the story of Meng Jiangnu and Wan Xiliang who cried down the Great Wall?

"Husband, I regret it so much!"

"Mother, be good, don't cry, there's nothing to regret!"

"Husband, I was not good just now, can you take me with you? I don't want to leave you! ”

"Mother, for my husband, this is to fight, not to play, how dangerous is it to take you? What's more, Xie'er still has to be taken care of by you! ”

Hearing Liu Xie, Liu Xuan suddenly became even more sad, but he no longer pestered Zhuang Shaoyou, Zhuang Shaoyou wanted to get off the boat and leave when he saw this, and he had been delayed for a lot of time.

"Mother, I'll go first, you wait for me in Liaonan, and I'll make up for what I didn't do in the cave room with you when I go back!"

When Liu Xuan heard this, he was ashamed and happy, but he seemed to remember something, and asked with an unkind expression: "Zhuang Shaoyou, tell me honestly, how many women do you still have in southern Liaoning?" ”

"Well, not much, three or four!"

"What? Three or four? You stinky rascal! I'm so blind that I'm married to you! ”

Liu Xuan was annoyed for a while, Zhuang Shaoyou was patient and comforted, and did something wrong, of course he couldn't speak

"Xuan'er, it's time for me to go!"

When Liu Xuan heard this, he immediately stopped making trouble, looked at Zhuang Shaoyou affectionately, nodded reluctantly, Zhuang Shaoyou turned around and got off the boat, and a voice came from behind him that made Zhuang Shaoyou stumble and almost fall down: "Zhuang Shaoyou!" If you dare not come back, I will find 10,000 men, so that you will not be able to live in peace in the underworld! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou sighed secretly, can't you say it well if it's good? This princess is really hard to mess with!

According to the plan, this time Luoyang was evacuated, and all the non-combatants were sent to southern Liaoning, and Zhou Tian and Ronghua also returned to southern Liaoning; The remaining 23,000 fighters were divided into two groups, with Le Jin commanding 18,000 infantry, carrying heavy weapons and sailing to Puyang, accompanied by Tian Feng.

This time, Zhuang Shaoyou mobilized 32 large and small ships from southern Liaoning, including four-masted warships, 10 four-masted merchant ships, four-masted transport ships, and 10 three-masted merchant ships, and most of the ships in southern Liaoning were basically emptied.

Zhuang Shaoyou, Wu Kuang, and Xun You led 5,000 iron horsemen to Puyang by land, passing through Tiger Prison Pass and Guandu, and finally arrived at Puyang, Yanzhou East County. The distance is about 500 miles, which can be reached in one and a half days by water, and at least two days by land.

Of these 5,000 cavalry, 3,000 are He Jin's old department, but since he took refuge in Zhuang Shaoyou, he has been treated, and He Jin's stupid bear has long been forgotten and forgotten without a trace, of course, it is selective forgetting. There are also two thousand recruits, who have just been trained for half a month, and they can barely arrange troops, and their combat effectiveness is still not very reliable, but these two thousand war horses are also Xiliang good horses bought from Dong Zhuo, and the impact is very strong.

At night, Zhuang Shaoyou led the cavalry to gallop for more than an hour, running out of more than seventy miles in one breath, the sky dawned very early in midsummer, and he could already see the white fish belly in the sky, and the rolling mountains not far away, revealing the slightest coolness, a cool breeze blew, Zhuang Shaoyou couldn't help but shudder.

A bad premonition arose, and after thinking for a while, he ordered the whole army to dismount and rest, summoned Xun You, and asked, "Military advisor, do you think there will be ambushes in this mountain?" Why does General Ben feel that something is not right? ”

Xun You frowned and looked at the mountains in the distance when he heard this, and said while thinking: "Ahead is the Luoyang East Barrier Bishui Pass, which is the fortress of Sili Jiaotong Ji and Yan'er Prefecture, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is a place where soldiers must fight, if there is really an ambush, it is really dangerous!" But there is only Dong Zhuo's family in Luoyang, and the relationship with them has always been good, and his subordinates can't figure out who will do this! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said slowly: "If there is really an ambush, then there is only one possibility!" ”

"Oh?"

"And the state, Lu Bu!"

When Xun You heard this, he was taken aback: "What? Lu Bu? Could it be Dong Zhuo's instructions? Wrong! It's the Queen Mother! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou looked at Xun You and smiled slightly: "The poisoning case in the palace and the fire in the Medical Saint Mansion were all committed by Lu Bu, if he didn't collude with He Lian, the ghosts don't believe it!" Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo, you have to do it yourself! Woe to the water! What's more, it's a snake and scorpion like He Lian, be careful that she will eat you until you don't even have bones left! ”

After being surprised, Xun You quickly calmed down, thought for a while, and said, "The general wants to ask Lu Bu to collect some interest first?" Or do you want to leave by boat? ”

Zhuang Shaoyou smiled: "People respect me for a foot, I respect people, and I don't come to be rude!" ”

Xun You smiled slightly, leaned over to Zhuang Shaoyou's side and whispered, Zhuang Shaoyou's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this, and he sighed: "Fortunately, Gongda is his own person, otherwise this general will have a hard time!" ”

A moment later, Zhuang Shaoyou's army rested on the spot, and dozens of scouts galloped out and went to the mountains in front of them to investigate intelligence.

At this time, the Bingzhou army ambushed in the mountain was 5,000 iron cavalry under the command of Song Xian, ambushed in the dense forest on a gentle slope in the north, preparing to come down the mountain with a fierce tiger when Zhuang Shaogu's army passed through the valley and defeated it in one fell swoop. The place where the Song Xian cavalry hid is quite hidden, and it is generally not easy to find if you don't explore carefully, all the cavalry ranks, horse bundles, and hoof wraps, can be described as fully prepared, and wait for work, if Zhuang Shaoyou doesn't check for a while, and directly wave the army straight forward, it will really be the other party's way.

It's a pity that although Zhuang Shaoyou didn't know how Lu Bu learned about his plan, he still predicted the existence of the ambush in advance with his extraordinary sensitivity and perception of danger, and then thought of Lu Bu who made small moves in Luoyang.

Looking at a large number of scouts not far away and began to search the mountain, Song Xian's heart was in his throat, and the people of Bingzhou were not familiar with the terrain near Luoyang, although they brought a guide, but they could only prevent getting lost, the hillside here was Song Xian's temporary choice of ambush place, and it was the most conducive place to launch a sneak attack, if it was really discovered, I am afraid that this trip would not be pleased!

Although the 5,000 and state iron cavalry have at least a seventy percent chance of winning against Wu Qian's uneven cavalry, but a fire will definitely be a defeat for both sides, Lu Bu does not have much capital in his hands, but he doesn't dare to fight so hard, if he can kill Zhuang Shaoyou with these 5,000 men and horses, he can still consider it, but this matter is probably even more difficult!

Soon, Zhuang Shaoyou's scouts searched near the Song Xianjun, and the men and horses in the forefront of Bingzhou had quietly begun to bend their bows and arrows, once a scout found them, they must shoot them as soon as possible, and then immediately launch a surprise attack, maybe they could catch Zhuang Shaoyou off guard.

The scouts are getting closer and closer, five hundred steps, four hundred steps, three hundred steps, and they are about to enter the range of bows and arrows, and the soldiers on both sides are nervous, whether it is the people and horses of the state or the scouts of Zhuang Shaogua, they are a little worried, one side is worried about exposing their whereabouts, and the other side is worried that the other party's psychological quality is not good, and the trick is smashed!

At this moment, there was a commotion behind the scouts, and all the scouts' eyes were attracted to the past, and they quickly gathered towards the accident site, looking at the scene in front of him, Song Xian couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and sighed with emotion: God help me, I haven't been discovered! Zhuang Shaoyou, this is all providence!

Zhuang Shaoyou knew all this, the temporary commotion was intentional, a few agile scouts led a black blind over according to the instructions, and the scouts nearby rushed to hear the news, and the car ** killed the black blind, and then happily returned with the booty.

Zhuang Shaoyou's army rested for more than half an hour, the sky had gradually brightened, and the sight gradually improved, which was obviously more unfavorable to the sneak attacker, and Zhuang Shaoyou's army finally opened again.

But the next move made Song Xian scratch his head, and then hated the root of his teeth.
