Chapter 133: Liu Guanzhang VS Gao Shun and Zhang Liao
Besides, Guo Jia saw Cao Cao asking himself, and replied: "You have already caught up with us, and I have already asked people to spread the news so that the people in Jiangdong will know." β
Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then sit back and wait for Jiangdong to take the bait!" β
It's just that he also has some pity.
Before, when Yuan Shu sent an envoy to form an alliance with Lu Bu, Lu Bu sent Yuan Shu's envoy Han Yin to Xu Du with his backhand to prove his determination not to ally with Yuan Shu.
And the person who sent Yuan Shu's envoy Han Yin was called Chen Deng, who was the eldest son of Chen Qi, the head of the Chen family in Xuzhou.
This Chen Deng has shown his loyalty to himself.
He may have promised him that as long as he returns to Xuzhou and helps divide Lu Bu's army, he will soon conquer Xuzhou.
If the Eastern Crusade is successful, it will continue to seize Guangling County, which is occupied by Jiangdong in Xuzhou.
After taking Guangling County, the Chen family grew stronger in Xuzhou, and at the same time appointed him Chen Deng as the Taishou of Guangling.
Now, I can only be sorry for him.
Sacrificing a Xiapi Chen family and earning a longevity is also worth it.
It's just that Chen Deng, who has talked to him himself, has some talent and vision, and plays with Lu Bu in the palm of his hand.
If it weren't for Lu Bu having Chen Gong by his side, Lu Bu wouldn't know how many times he would have died.
This Chen Deng, if he can join his command, it would be good.
But now I can only miss it.
Thinking of Chen Gong, Cao Cao squinted his eyes, and a killing intent surged into his heart.
This Chen Gong, he has always treated him like a sibling, and even once better than Xun Yu and Cheng Yu.
After all, he had defected to himself when he was in the most dire situation.
However, he was so enthusiastic that he was let down.
He dared to take advantage of his revenge for his father and the time of the expedition to Xuzhou, betrayed himself, united with Zhang Miao and others, and welcomed Lu Bu, a reckless man, into Yanzhou.
Thinking that he almost lost the foundation that he had so hard to get, and became in the same situation as Liu Bei, Cao Cao's back tooth socket was almost crushed.
Chen Gong.
You wait for me!
If he asks me to catch you one day, I will not let you go easily!
Those who dare to defeat me Cao Cao are the first and the only ones!
Xiao Pei.
Late at night.
The walls were scattered with few soldiers.
Even the soldiers who defended the city dozed off while patrolling.
Outside Xiaopei City, a black figure quietly came from a distance.
It was Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.
Behind the three of them were 3,000 soldiers transferred from Cao Cao's camp.
The feet of these soldiers were tied with thick straw to prevent them from making too much noise when walking.
In the afternoon, when Liu Bei, as the vanguard, rushed to Dangshan first, he had already sent scouts to Xiaopei to investigate Xiaopei's movements.
Now the person who guards Xiaopei is called Cao Xing, who is a partial general under Lu Bu, who has no reputation, mediocre martial arts, and is said to make a good bow.
Liu Guanzhang also saw it when he was under Lu Bu.
And don't take him to heart.
The news from the scouts, Lu Bu doesn't seem to have received the news that Cao Cao is on an eastward crusade!
This is also normal.
This time, Cao Cao led the army to the east to conquer Xuzhou, but he marched in a hurry, and he picked a small road.
Except for deliberately selling news to Jiangdong and letting Jiangdong know their whereabouts, others should not have gotten the news so quickly.
Cao Xing was also defenseless.
On the city wall during the day, the defense was loose and crumbling, and there were only less than 200 city defenders.
The people in the city were also normal, and they didn't seem to know that Cao Jun was approaching at all.
If they had known, the people of the city would have fled.
Or they were forcibly kept and defended by the officials of the city.
However, in this case, the people are all trembling, and they can see the clues at a glance.
Now the people are not unusual, which proves that Cao Xing is indeed negligent in taking precautions.
This is also the reason why as soon as Cao Cao asked the army to set up camp in Dangshan, Liu Bei invited him to fight and take Xiaopei.
Rush to the city.
Seeing that there were really few city guards on the city wall, and they were negligent in taking precautions, they approached so closely, and they didn't notice it, Liu Bei's eyes flashed with coldness.
Lu Bu, you took my Xuzhou, today, I will take it back again!
Liu Bei waved his arm vigorously.
Suddenly, the three thousand Cao Cao soldiers behind him pressed their bodies and quickly rushed up with a cloud ladder.
Ladders climbed the city walls.
It wasn't until Cao Cao's soldiers climbed the city wall that the city guards on the city wall found out and said in horror one by one: "Enemy attack!" β
However, it was too late!
Cao Cao's soldiers poured onto the city wall and slaughtered the city defenders.
Several soldiers rushed to the gates and opened them.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rode high-headed horses and rushed into the city gate first.
For Xiao Pei, no one is more familiar than them.
Xiaopei only needs a main road to lead to the government.
Kill the mansion, kill him while Cao Xuan has not reacted, and take his head to see Lu Bu!
Liu Bei rushed into the city gate first.
As soon as he rushed through the urn city and entered the city, he shuddered.
It's so quiet!
How could the people in the city not hear the battle on the city wall just now?
Liu Bei hurriedly reined in his horse and motioned for the soldiers behind him to stop.
Zhang Fei was also a little skeptical: "Big brother, why do I feel wrong?" Feeling like you've fallen into a trap? β
Liu Bei's face changed suddenly.
Even the third brother feels like this, that's right!
Liu Bei hurriedly said: "The rear army becomes the front army, withdraw immediately!" β
However, Liu Bei's words were too late.
As soon as he spoke, in front of him, countless torches lit up from the houses.
The enemy rushed out like a tidal wave and pounced directly.
Guan Yu rushed up and said, "Big brother retreats first, and I am the queen!" β
Soon, Guan Yu was surrounded by enemy troops in the middle.
The soldiers around him were already dead and wounded.
Liu Bei was about to withdraw from Urn City, and when he saw Guan Yu's scene, he was about to retreat.
saw Guan Yu and said, "Big brother, leave me alone, quit!" β
Only then did Liu Bei turn his head and continue to follow the army out.
Guan Yu was surrounded by the enemy, rushing left and right, but he couldn't rush out.
On the contrary, the war horse under him had already suffered dozens of wounds.
As the two big men brandished machetes and slashed at the legs of the war horse, the war horse let out a mournful roar and fell to the ground with a bang.
Guan Yu flipped off the war horse and continued to charge.
At this moment, dozens of figures rode over from the city.
The first person was a tall and strong man, wearing a suit of armor, who looked twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a heroic face.
This person's name is Zhang Liao, the word is far away, a native of Yanmen Mayi, and has been subordinate to Ding Yuan, He Jin, and Dong Zhuo.
After Dong Zhuo was killed, he followed Lu Bu.
At present, he is the minister of Lu under Lu Bu's account.
When Liu Guanzhang was in Xuzhou, Zhang Liao and Guan Yu hit it off at first sight and were like brothers.
Today's play, in fact, Chen Gong has already arranged.
One of the routes to invade Xuzhou is to invade Pengcheng from Xiaopei, and then point directly at Xiapi.
The other road is from Guangling through Dongyang County and Weitai County, and then kill to Xiapi.
Chen Gong asked LΓΌ Bu to lead an army and personally sit in Dongyang County to prevent Jiangdong from attacking from Guangling.
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun sat in Xiaopei to prevent Cao Cao or Yuan Shu from attacking from Xiaopei.
During the day today, a child of a rich family in the city went out hunting on horseback, and found a large army in the direction of Dangshan from a distance, and immediately reported to him.
So, he united with Cao Xing and Gao Shun to arrange this "empty city plan" to lure the enemy into the city.
He led an army alone to stop him from within the city.
Gao Shun and Cao Xing formed an army and stationed outside the city.
Once the enemy forces in the city withdrew, Gao Shun and Cao Xing fought out and fought him back and forth.
The strategy worked.
It's just that I didn't expect that this enemy army turned out to be Liu Guanzhang!
Zhang Liao didn't have much affection for Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, but how could his relationship with Guan Yu make him willing to watch each other die in his hands?
Seeing that Guan Yu was surrounded so solidly that he couldn't rush to kill, and sooner or later he would be killed due to exhaustion, Zhang Liao stopped outside the encirclement, sighed, and signaled the standard-bearers who followed behind him to stop attacking and get out of the way.
The flag-bearer hurriedly waved the flag.
The soldiers surrounding the feather immediately stopped attacking and moved out of the way.
Zhang Liao looked at Guan Yu, who had already killed the red-eyed man, got down from the warhorse, took his warhorse forward, stuffed the reins into Guan Yu's hand and said, "Yun Chang, you have fallen for our strategy, and Xuande Gong and your third brother will also be surrounded outside the city." You're Cao Jun, right? I never thought that you would take refuge in Cao Thief. β
"Ride this horse and hurry up to find Cao Cao to help."
"If it's any longer, I'm afraid that Xuan Degong and your third brother will die in battle."
"The other group of people in charge of the ambush has Gao Shun's trapping camp."
"You know, that's the power that my lord can mobilize, and he won't listen to me."
Guan Yu's eyes shrank slightly.
Stuck in the camp?
He was finally driven away by Lu Bu in Xiaopei because of the joining of the trap camp.
There are nearly 1,000 people in the trapped camp, each of whom is equipped with heavy armor, long and short weapons, bows and arrows.
He suffered a great loss in trapping the camp.
After thanking Zhang Liao, Guan Yu quickly got on the horse and galloped out.
He did not doubt Zhang Liao's words.
If you are trapped in the camp, if you don't move the rescue soldiers, your eldest brother and third brother, as well as Cao Cao's three thousand soldiers and horses, don't even think about going back!
As soon as Guan Yu rushed out of the city, he saw that Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Cao Cao, the three thousand soldiers who had left the city first, had been surrounded by a trapped camp and thousands of troops!
Fortunately, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei are not in danger for the time being.
Guan Yu glanced at Liu Bei and Zhang Fei with some concern, bypassed the trapped camp all the way, rushed out, and went straight to Cao Cao's camp in Dangshan.
Liu Bei, who was fighting, noticed that Guan Yu was leaving alone, and hurriedly said to the standard-bearer beside him: "Everyone gather together, don't separate, and kill in the direction of Dangshan!" β
The flag bearer waving the flag.
Cao Cao's soldiers quickly converged.
Liu Bei roared while slashing at the enemy: "Soldiers, our reinforcements are on the way, follow me to kill them!" β
