"Lu Bu was defeated in Donglinkou because of me, most of the six or seven thousand people were lost, and even his Bingzhou cavalry also got into a lot, for more than a year, he has never been defeated, but this time he was so dismal."

Ankou County Chengguan, on the road, Liu Bei supported the city, frowning.

Yesterday during the day, Cao Cao led an army of more than 10,000 people to press the border, and the whole army was worried.

Fortunately, Cao Cao just kept walking around the city and did not attack the city, it seems that he wanted to check the city defense of Ankou County and choose the right place to start.

Tension pervaded the surroundings of Ankou County, but in the end, Cao Cao retreated at dusk.

This made Liu Bei very puzzled, if it was just to check the city defense, it was enough to bring a team of cavalry, how could he bring a large army, not even shouting, just admiring his own city defense, and then leaving?

This is not like Cao Cao's usual style of using soldiers.

It wasn't until the evening that he received a report from the scouts that he learned that Lu Bu had brought troops to rescue him after learning that he was besieged, but he fell into Cao Cao's plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements, and it was a double siege.

In this battle, there were heavy casualties.

For Lu Bu for a while, Liu Bei's heart was both guilty and grateful, and the hatred of seizing the city in the past was gone.

"These three family slaves have done a good thing to see people, and they know that they came to rescue the eldest brother, but they are stupid, how could they be ambushed."

Zhang Fei said grinningly, then thought of Lin Mo again, and continued to complain: "Didn't his son-in-law say that he was a genius, why didn't he help Lu Bu solve the plan." ”

Liu Bei may not have a grudge against Lu Bu's sneak attack in his heart, but Zhang Fei remembers it really, and he is a slave with three surnames.

"Cao Cao is scheming and proficient in the art of war, so it is not surprising that he has caught his way." Guan Yu stroked his long beard and sighed.

Liu Bei just sighed heavily, he found that his two younger brothers didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem.

Lu Bu is here to rescue himself, and now his vitality is greatly damaged, and he is afraid that he will not be able to take care of himself.

In other words, Cao Cao really attacked the city next, and Lu Bu might not be able to come to the rescue, but he dared to come to the rescue.

And his own men, military supplies, logistics, etc., any of which were crushed by the other party, how could he resist the onslaught of this tiger and wolf journey.

Jumping out of the three-legged situation in Anfeng County today, Liu Bei is indeed willing to see Lu Bu fold for a while, and the people who were stored under his fence in the past have become the male lords of the two states, which is a big blow to Liu Bei, who has always had great ambitions but is difficult to comfort.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, he really doesn't want Lu Bu to lose.

In addition to the fact that Lu Bu may not be able to send troops to rescue, Liu Bei has one more thing in his heart, that is, the other party not only can't send troops, but even directly retreats to Jiujiang.

You must know that the grain and grass obtained by Guan Yu and Zhang Feidangping Cottage have long been used up, and now the grain and grass and ordnance in the city are all sent by Lu Bu.

As soon as he left, he was not only isolated, but also cut off food and logistics.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei even had a hint of the idea of crossing the river to join Wu Ju.

Of course, this thought was only fleeting.

Now that the three parties have become a stalemate, and he is Cao Cao's target, once he leaves Ankou County, the other party's cavalry will immediately rush up.

Liu Bei slowly raised his head and looked at the sky, his eyes were full of confusion, as if he hoped to get guidance from heaven.

At this moment, Jian Yong ran over, still holding a bamboo slip in his hand, "Lord, lord, Lu Bu sent a letter quickly." ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei took the bamboo slip in Jian Yong's hand and opened it quickly.

He hoped that this was the same as the letter he received a few days ago, and it was Lin Mo's trick to defeat Cao Cao again.

If the fire in Anfeng County can be staged again, then it will be impossible for Cao Cao to gather forces to attack the city.

"How about big brother, is that surnamed Lin what the kid has in mind?" Seeing Liu Bei's tightly locked brows slowly stretched, his eyes became more and more puzzled, and even Zhang Fei couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Yes, yes."

Liu Bei nodded, and suddenly shook his head again, "I just don't know what he wants to do, don't you want to learn from Cao Cao to send reinforcements?" ”

Looking at Guan Yu's expectant eyes, Liu Bei simply handed over the bamboo slip.

After reading the latter, he was not as suspicious as Liu Bei, but his eyes lit up, squinted and snorted in a nasal voice, and said with a smile:

"This kid has some ways, using grain and grass to attract Cao Cao, and these grains and grass are related to the life and death of our army, Cao Cao will definitely come to rob the grain, and then he will ambush good people in advance to attack, but it can be regarded as some means."

Zhang Fei, who stretched his neck on the side, sneered and said disdainfully: "Second brother, this kid's strategy this time is a little too frivolous, the surrounding area is mostly plains, except for a Donglinkou that can ambush soldiers, it is impossible to ambush thousands of people in other places without being discovered."

If I were Cao Cao, even if I robbed the grain, I wouldn't go to Donglinkou to rob it. ”

Zhang Fei's words were not rough, and even Liu Bei nodded with deep understanding: "It's really not a clever way." ”

There is another sentence that he didn't say, could it be that there is a mystery hidden in it that we can't see through.

"What does the big brother think?" Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei.

"After all, this is Lu Bu's handwritten letter, and besides, we don't need to send troops and food, it's just a matter of writing a few letters."

Liu Bei hesitated for a while, and said with a little distress: "It's a pity to take the lives of several scouts." ”

After speaking, he looked at Guan Yu, "Just do as he says, Yun Chang, you personally go and select five people, and after I write the letter, they will take them to Lu Ying in batches." ”

"It's easy to do." Guan Yu nodded, then turned around and went down the city pass.

Liu Bei exhaled a breath of turbidity, and immediately looked in the direction of Cao Ying a little distracted.

This method may work on weekdays, but people have just come to the encirclement point to send reinforcements, and you have to follow suit, so you can't even deceive Huangkou Xiaoer.

Despite thinking so in his heart, Liu Bei still hoped that Lin Mo would succeed.

Only if he succeeds will he have a chance to live.

At the end of Cao Ying, when he was preparing to send troops again, he wanted to eat Ankou County in one go, kill Liu Bei, and tell the world that betraying the imperial court was the only way to die.

Le Jin, who was originally practicing in the camp, hurriedly ran to the Chinese military tent at this time.

"Wen Qian, what's going on?" Looking at Le Jin, who looked a little strange, Cao Cao couldn't help but ask.

"Sikong, something strange happened in the camp."

Without waiting for Cao Cao's question, Le Jin directly took a horseshoe and put it on the handsome case, "This piece of iron was taken off from the hooves of a war horse." ”

Cao Cao picked up the dirty horseshoe and looked back and forth, frowned and said, "This shape seems to correspond to the horse's hoof, isn't it specially used to deal with war horses?" ”

"At first, the general also thought that it was a trap improved by thistle terrestris against the war horse, but later I found that all the war horses of the Lu army captured from Donglinkou were nailed to this thing, which was obviously intentional."

Hearing this, Cao Cao's pupils suddenly gathered, and all the war horses were equipped? "Show me."

It's a strange thing.

After coming to Lejin's camp, the soldiers had already driven all the war horses of the Lu army to one place, and the soldiers lifted the fixed war horses' hooves so that Cao Cao could see the truth.

After looking at more than 20 horses in a row, all of them were nailed to the horseshoe, Cao Cao believed what Le Jin said, and it was really intentional.

"What is the purpose of these iron tools, nailing this thing, won't the war horse look clumsy?" Cao Cao looked at the horseshoe in his hand again and muttered to himself.

Le Jin on the side explained: "Otherwise, Sikong, General Fang Cai personally tried to ride these war horses, which are no different from ordinary war horses. ”

Cao Cao glanced at him, it is definitely impossible to say that it is no different, Lu Bu is not full of food, if it is useless, nail these iron tools to do anything, ask for money.

It should be useful, but I don't quite understand what it's used for yet.

"This thing must be from Lin Yunwen's hand."

First of all, the Quyuan plow, the keel waterwheel, and even the thunderbolt car invented by Liu Ye were all recognized by Cao Cao as having Lin Mo by his side to help design.

It's not strange for this kind of geek to invent a piece of iron that he doesn't know what to do.

But instinctively, Cao Cao felt that this piece of iron was of great use, otherwise Lu Bu would not spare no effort to install all the war horses.

"Lin Yunwen is really a genius in the world."

Cao Cao did not hesitate to praise Lin Mo, and even did not hide his love for him in his eyes.

Even if he lost to Guo Jia, he did not reduce his status by half a point because of this.

After all, it was Guo Jia, in Cao Cao's mind, the first person in the world in terms of military attainments, it was not a shame to lose to him.

Moreover, in addition to Lin Mo's strategy, he also knows so many genius skills, and it is not strange that Cao Cao, who loves talents, has a crush on him.

is hateful to Zhang Wang, and he couldn't bring Lin Mo back to me.

"Sikong loves this person so much, after he breaks Lu Bu, his person will serve under his command." After the victory in Donglinkou, Lejin was full of confidence.

Cao Cao smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "That's right!" ”

Then he threw the horseshoe in his hand and told Lejin, "This matter must be kept secret, and when we return to Xuchang, we will also build some war horses to nail." ”

"Whoa!"

Although I don't know what it's used for, Lu Bu used it, and he had to use it himself.

The purpose will be figured out slowly.

It was an unexpected surprise.

When he was about to turn around and leave, Yu Ban ran over quickly, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, and arched his hand: "Sikong, Fang Cai will take people to survey the terrain, and found that a scout ran out of Ankou County, so he let the fast horse catch up and shoot him over, and found this letter from him." ”

Cao Cao immediately took it, and the contents of the letter made his expression solemn.

Suddenly, he quickly closed the bamboo slip with a click, and his eyes rolled, feeling that this thing was eighty percent true.

Liu Bei fled temporarily, there was no military rations, no military supplies, and no baggage supplies, and the reason why he was able to set fire and poison in Anxian County was obviously supported by Lu Bu behind his back.

Therefore, it is reasonable to ask the other party to send food at the moment.

"Summons the civil and military, and the Chinese army tents and soldiers!"

"Whoa!"
