When Cao and Liu agreed and led heavy troops to rush to the vortex and the two mouths.

On 6 April, Huo Jun of Tunbing County received news from Yu Shao.

The weather was sunny and cloudless.

On the banks of the water, Huo Jun washed the stains on his horse.

Huo Jun has been outnumbered, but since joining the army, two horses have been replaced. At this time, this war horse was sent by Huang Zhong, and in the past Han Mountain, Xiahou Yuan was beheaded, and Huang Zhong had a great merit and sent the captured Xiahou Yuan war horse to Huo Jun.

As a general of the clan, and Xiahou Yuan has the habit of marching and fighting in a hurry, his mount is naturally a rare thousand-mile horse in the world.

The horse had strong muscles and bones, brown hair, and was six feet three inches tall. I heard that it was when Xiahou Yuanhu Bulongyou, from the Qiang tribe, saw that the good horse was strong and strong, so he thought it was a mount.

"Phew!"

Yu Shao rode his horse to the riverbank, turned over and dismounted, and said, "Governor, Fu Li's emergency military situation!" ”

"Who is Fu Li?"

Huo Jun handed the horse brush to Huo Xiong and asked him to help brush his beloved Maxima.

"Sun Guan!" Yu Shao replied.

Huo Jun left the riverside and asked, "Only Sun Guan?" ”

"Hmm!"

Yu Shao handed over the scarf and said, "Dudu, Sun Guan led 5,000 cavalry to pursue our army, and now he will chase to Fuli." After Fu Li, the sergeants under Sun Guan's account pursued money and grain, and forced the people to hand over the boat, which caused many grievances among the people of Fu Li. ”

Holding the scarf, Huo Jun was silent.

Yu Shao saw that Huo Jun was thinking and said: "Governor, our army has been stationed in Hao County for more than two days, and the vortex and Ershui have been disturbed by our army, and Cao Cao probably also knows the traces of our army. If the governor wants to cross the Huaishui in the south, or go east, it is advisable to be fast. If Cao Cao orders a heavy blockade, or Sun Guan's troops are prepared, our army will be in danger! ”

"Lead the army to the east!" Huo Jun held the towel and said in a deep voice.

"Fight back?"

Yu Shao pondered and asked, "Yu Zhouge joined forces with Surabaya to attack the Wei army in Sikou with General Xu, broke through the enemy blockade, and led the army to retreat to Huainan. ”

"Yes, it's not!"

Huo Jun stood on the bank of the river, looked at the meandering southward flow of the river, and said: "Our army has moved west from Surabaya to the river, and now we have mobilized all the units of Xu Huai to pursue. If our army can return to the horse to re-attack Fuli, cut Sun Guan, and recapture our army's boat, then we can take the boat west into Surabaya. ”

After a pause, Huo Jun smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "As for the merging into Surabaya, our army can go east......"

Speaking of the back, Huo Jun stopped, unwilling to say anything.

"The governor wants to go east to the seashore and board the ship from Yuzhou."

Yu Shao's eyes lit up, and he guessed: "No wonder the governor asked people to bring a letter to General Xu." ”

Looking at the sparkling water, Huo Jun could only smile at Yu Shao's self-replenishment.

Being cut off from the way back is always frightening. However, under Huo Jun's careful analysis, he found that there were many loopholes.

Because Liu Bei could not be discovered, Cao Cao should be cautious in sending troops, and the number should not be large. Therefore, although Sikou is blocked, it is believed that there is Zang Ba in the north and Xu Huang in the south, which is a dead end. But jump out of the limitations of the thinking of the boat march. The direction of the march is not only to the south, but also to the west.

Huo Jun boldly abandoned the boat, marched westward, and mobilized almost all the generals of the Wei army, whether they were sincere or out of coping, they would basically pursue westward and block Huo Jun's retreat.

Then, in order to make Cao Cao firmly believe that he would cross south from Hukou and Vortex Ershui, Huo Jun made many calculations, while letting the various departments search for boats, and on the other hand, let Cao Cao see Quan Cong crossing from Hukou.

The most important thing is to contact Liu Bei and let Liu Bei cooperate with him to sing a play, and garrison troops on the south bank of Huhu and Vortex Erkou.

After three moves, Huo Jun's plan to cross the Huaishui from the south of the vortex and the second mouth of the river was verified in almost many ways under Liu Bei's response.

After confusing the generals of the Wei army, Huo Jun naturally wanted to kill the horse pistol, pick a soft persimmon pinch, and return to Sun Guanbu, who had a thin army.

In order to prevent Sun Guan's troops from sticking to Fuli, Huo Jun deliberately opened a warehouse to release grain, and distributed the boats widely, the purpose was to let Sun Guan and his sergeants rob the people of the boats for the sake of profit. In this way, with the plundering nature of Mount Tai, Sun Guan and his soldiers will definitely focus on looting money, not on him.

"If you want to raid Sun Guan, you will go and gather all the ministries to assemble." Yu Shao said.

"No need!"

Huo Jun pointed to the cavalry who were washing their horses on the riverside and said, "Today, Sun Guan's department is busy greedy for money, and most of the army is unprepared. It takes time to gather the army today, and it takes time for the foot soldiers to march, and I am afraid that when the heavy army arrives, Fu Li will be on guard! ”

"Today, the army is 200 miles, when you give up your baggage, abandon the footmen, I personally lead the cavalry to attack Fuli."

As he spoke, Huo Jun ordered left and right, and said, "Come and order all the departments to assemble." The army was placed under the command of Chiang Taishou, who ordered him to lead the army to catch up. ”

"The governor commands the army, and it is not appropriate to personally command the cavalry. Why don't you order the fierce general to command, and make its surprise attack Fu Li. Yu Shao persuaded.

Huo Jun shook his head and said, "The weight of Fu Li is related to the survival of my army, and only if I personally attack can I feel at ease." ”

In his plan to recross Surabaya, Fu Licheng was too important. If he can't defeat Sun Guan and take Fu Licheng, his plan will be aborted.

With such a critical Fu leaving the city, there is no one in the entire army who can let him trust him with peace of mind.

Huo Jun walked quickly to the height, holding the white whip, and commanded: "Where is Gao Xin?" ”

"The last general!" Gao Xin shouted loudly.

"Two days' food for the whole armament, lead the cavalry to go with me now!" Huo Jun shouted loudly.

"No!"

After a while, Huo Jun draped the saddle on the horse's back, jumped quickly, and easily got on the horse.

Holding the reins, Huo Jun stood on the slope, looking at the horsemen who were preparing for battle.

"Governor!"

After a while, Jiang Ji, Gao Xiang and others, who heard the news, will come from the camp.

Jiang Ji grabbed Huo Jun's reins and said, "The governor has the hope of the whole army, and it may be inappropriate to attack Fuli today." ”

Huo Jun looked at the generals and said in a deep voice: "Chess games, one son falls and is full of life. Today's son is only in Sun Guan. If not, who can? ”

"Zitong and Feng Lu, after the two of you gather the scattered sergeants of each battalion to follow the cavalry, if Cao Cao finds out the movement of our army, I will be in danger."

"No!"

Gai heard Huo Jun's intention that he could not be vetoed, and the generals responded.

"Bang bang!"

There was a sound of horses' hooves, but he saw Huo Fan coming with a lance and said, "My lord, Fan should be enlisted." ”

Seeing that it was Huo Fan, Huo Jun laughed a few times and said, "Let's see how my son's martial arts are!" ”

Saying that, Huo Jun looked left and right, and the thousands of horsemen of the Qi Army had already gathered around, shouting: "Go!" ”

"No!"

"Drive!"

Under the guidance of the scouts, Huo Jun led the army of thousands of horses to attack, and thousands of horses' hooves stepped across the plain, bringing up billowing smoke and dust, and the violent roar was like thunder.

——

The army of the Monkey is 4,000 paces and 1,000 horsemen. Selected by Ding Feng, Yu Shao, and Gao Xin, Ding Feng and Yu Shao will each take 2,000 steps, and Gao Xin will ride 1,000 people, which is the real hole card for Huo Jun.

After years of training, it is not only the best in the south riding, but it is difficult to compare with the tiger and leopard in the north riding, but the gap is not big.

After a day and night journey, they finally arrived a few miles around the city of Fuli before dawn on April 7.

Under the light of the torches, Huo Jun's face revealed a look of exhaustion. Running around day and night, not only Huo Jun, but also all the riders have a lot of hardship.

"Father, what should I do now?" Huo Fan looked at the dark scenery on the left and right and asked.

"Order all departments to extinguish the torches, and don't alarm Sun Guan's army." Huo Jun said.

"No!"

Under Huo Jun's order, the teams extinguished the torches.

The night before dawn was dark, the light of the moon was slightly dim, and the cavalry extinguished their torches, and only the figures around them could be seen.

Under the investigation of Fuli's scouts, Huo Jun found out the information of Sun Guan's distribution.

"Governor, Sun Guan led half of the sergeants to camp in the city, and half of the sergeants were stationed on the banks of Suishui. If Sun Guan is taken today, the two military camps should be attacked at the same time. Yu Shao suggested: "The Suishui camp is laxly guarded, and only the things that reject the horses can easily attack the camp." ”

Huo Jun nested on the hillside, looked at the Suishui camp and Fuli City at night, and asked: "Although Fuli City is short, it is not easy to break it, can there be a strategy?" ”

Huo Fan said through the night: "My lord, General Gao is a native of Bohai, Hebei Province, and is proficient in Hebei language, so it is better to let him pretend to be a cavalry team that transmits Cao Cao's edict, and take advantage of the dark day to deceive Fu to leave the city gate." At that time, they would wave torches as a trumpet, and a thousand horsemen would be divided into two teams and attack two armies at the same time. ”

"Good!"

"Is Lin Jia willing?" Huo Jun asked.

"The last will go!"

After half a ring, Gao Xin, with a handsome face, changed into a white undershirt, followed by a dozen or so well-equipped cavalrymen, walking with torches.

"Boom~"

Most of the soldiers defending the city were asleep, and even if they heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the city, most of them were unaware of it, and only a few sergeants noticed it.

It can be seen that these enemies were unprepared for Huo Jun's sudden counterattack, or they couldn't think of it at all.

The Wei pawn behind the city wall poked his head out and shouted, "Who is outside the city?" ”

Looking at the sparse soldiers on the city tower, Gao Xin was not afraid, pulled the reins, and scolded and said: "The tiger and leopard under the king's tent rode Gao Huan, and now he is ordered by the king to go west and convey the military order." ”

"Hurry up and open the door!"

Gao Xin raised his whip and pointed to the people on the city tower, shouting.

Wei Shu looked at it a few times and asked, "Dare to ask who to convey the military order." ”

"Dog thief!"

Gao Xin was furious and scolded: "The king's military order is also known to you and other cheap maids? ”

"Open the door, the military order should be given to your general and Zang Xuzhou."

Wei Shu heard that it was Jizhou dialect, and when he saw Gao Xin's attitude was so arrogant, although he was unhappy in his heart, he also believed Gao Xin's words, and waved his hand to open the door and let people in.

"Send someone to inform the general, and the king has a military order to arrive."

"No!"

As the city gate opened, Gao Xin rode in, and more than a dozen horsemen rushed in.

Through the doorway, Gao Xindian took out two arrows from the quiver, taking advantage of the moment when light and darkness were intertwined. Gao Xin put on his bow and shot arrows in the shocked eyes of everyone.

"Whoosh!"

More than a dozen arrows burst through the air and shot at the eight men guarding the city gates.

"Ahh

The armored soldier clutched his throat and fell down without saying a word.

The rest of the gatekeepers were disposed of, but only a few made noises that caught the attention of the people on the castle tower.

"What's going on?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the sound of horses' hooves roaring on the plain in the distance.

The night before dawn has passed, and it has come to dawn, and the light is gradually brightening. Horsemen who are accustomed to the night no longer need to carry torches.

Each was divided into five hundred horses, Huo Fan and Yu Shao went to seize the Suishui camp, and Huo Jun rode straight into Fu Licheng.

Huo Jun rode his horse and galloped, and in a few breaths, he entered Fu Licheng. According to Huo Jun's previous arrangement, except for the 100 people who stayed on his side, the remaining 400 cavalry were led by the cavalry governor to attack and kill the sergeants under Sun Guan's account.

When the soldiers entered the city, Huo Jun saw Gao Xin shooting the enemy with a bow, almost seven out of ten shots.

"Lin Jia, where is Sun Guan?" Huo Jun asked.

Gao Xin held the bow and rope and said, "Today, in the county house, there are dozens of sergeants guarding it. ”

"Let's go!"

The crisp sound of horses' hooves resounded in the silent city of Fuli.

Huo Jun walked to the front of the county house, and the door that had just been opened was closed in an instant. A feathered arrow flew through the shadows and nailed to the round cowhide shield held high in front of the horseman.

"Doo!"

Then, more than a dozen arrows were fired, but the accuracy was not high, except for the round shield, which hung on the armor of the knight.

"Governor, the enemy is prepared!" Gao Xin shouted.

"Where's the torch?"

Huo Jun saw that the sky was getting brighter, and he was worried that Sun Guan would raise troops to resist and there would be an accident, so he said ruthlessly: "Burn the house left and right, block all sides, and shoot anyone who escapes with a bow and crossbow!" ”

"No!"

After a while, under the throwing of torches, the houses on the left and right of the county house were on fire.

Seeing that the fire spread to the county house, Sun Guan and a group of sergeants wanted to flee and repeatedly broke through, but they were repelled by the cavalry on all sides.

Think of those who climb over the wall, who are also shot by the patrolling riders.

In the county house that was burned by the flames, when Sun Guan was thinking about whether to surrender, he was unlucky and was stoned to death by the beam.

As soon as Sun Guan died, his cronies dispersed in a hurry, and they all surrendered to Huo Jun.

Looking at the blazing county house, Huo Jun exhaled turbidity.

Fu left the city, Sun Guan was defeated, and he was alive all over the plate.
