The remnants of the defeated soldiers rushed back to Fancheng and reported to Cao Ren the process of the defeat and death.

Cao Ren was furious and took the case: "Liu Bei, there is no one in our army! I will personally fight with him tonight!"

Li Dian persuaded: "Don't be rash, I think it's best to delay the army a few days later." The morale of the other party is booming, and if we fight it again, it will be our side who suffers. ”

Cao Ren did not listen to the advice, and said: "I am the governor of the capital, and it is up to me to decide when to march into the army! Lü Kuang and Lü Xiang died tragically, and almost all the 5,000 men and horses were wiped out.

Li Dian said: "Not only must we take revenge, but we must also double our devotions! But it is not yet time." At this time, when we send troops, our victory rate can be said to be close to zero; Liu Bei is a general who uses troops, and he must not be underestimated. ”

Cao Ren glared at him and said, "Could it be that General Li is afraid of him?"

"Zai Xia is not afraid of him, but only advises the governor to be careful so as not to lose again. ”

"What can Liu Bei do with the district and county orders? Erlu's defeat is because he underestimated the enemy and fell into a treacherous trick by mistake; if I lead the troops, I will win a complete victory." Cao Ren is full of confidence.

Li Dian saw that he insisted on going, so he said: "If the governor wants to go to war, he is willing to stay in Fancheng." ”

When Cao Ren heard this, his face changed suddenly: "If you don't go to battle with me, are you afraid of death or have two hearts?"

Li Dian hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, don't misunderstand. In this case, I am willing to go with the governor. ”

Cao Ren immediately ordered to regroup and make a comeback.

When the army returned with a full load, Liu Bei was overjoyed, personally rewarded the three armies, and thanked Shan Fu: "If it weren't for the guidance of the military advisor, how could our army have won a complete victory! The military advisor has made great contributions!"

Shan Fu hurriedly helped him up and said: "The lord has won the award, and this victory depends on the joint efforts of all the soldiers." However, the enemy will not stop there, and if I am not mistaken, their commander will surely come with his own troops tonight. ”

Liu Bei was puzzled: "I'm in decline, they won't come again so soon, right?"

"The other side thinks that our army has slackened and will definitely take it by surprise and carry out a night attack. ”

"How's that to be?"

"Don't be afraid, lord. When a great army comes, the rear will be empty. The opponent stationed troops in Fancheng, and when he left the city, he first sent a group of men and horses to take the small road to seize the city and cut off his way back; if Cao's army arrived, despite the desperate killing, he would do his best to win, even if he was outnumbered. ”

That night, Shan Fu instructed Guan Yu to lead an army to attack Fancheng at night, Zhang Fei led 2,000 cavalry out of the city to ambush, Zhao Yun led 100 cavalry out of the city to lure the enemy, and Zhiming and others went to the city tower to listen to the dispatch; in addition, he also sent people to the city to preach to the people: There is a large-scale military exercise outside the city tonight, everyone should not be alarmed, and rest assured.

When everything was ready, Shan Fu ordered the city gates to be closed and the people were forbidden to enter and leave.

When they arrived, Shan Fu and Liu Bei climbed the city tower to observe the movement in the distance. Zhiming originally wanted to go out of the city with the army to fight, but Shan Fu asked him to go to the city tower with him, responsible for directing the release of arrows and protecting the lord, just in case.

Soon, the fire in the distance was soaring into the sky, and people shouted and neighed one after another. Shan Fu said with a smile: "Cao Jun is really here, this time I want them to come back!"

Zhao Yun was instructed by Shan Fu to lead a hundred cavalry to line up two miles outside the city and wait for the enemy. Seeing that Cao's army was coming, the cavalry raised their weapons one by one and made preparations for battle.

Cao Ren ordered a halt to the army and asked Li Dian: "Since Liu Bei knows that our army is going to carry out a night attack, why did he only send so few people to meet the battle?"

Li Dian said: "This is a plan to lure the enemy into the depths, there will be a large army in ambush in the rear, we must be careful." ”

Cao Ren saw that the opponent's formation was not in order, and the cavalry was staggering, and he thought that this army must lack strict training, so he laughed and said: "Look, this kind of army is also worthy of fighting us! People say that Liu Bei is a masterpiece, but they can't imagine that his soldiers are so bad! Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang are defeated in this generation, and they deserve it!"

Li Dian carefully observed the enemy's formation and found that something was wrong, so he whispered: "Dudu, this is a plan to 'pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger', the other party is obviously showing weakness, trying to make our army slack and then counterattack, its real strength is definitely more than this, don't be careless." ”

Cao Ren didn't think so, and went out to point a gun at Zhao Yun and said: "Hey, leader, you go back and tell Liu Bei to surrender the city quickly, so as not to lose the army." ”

Zhao Yun responded: "The commander of your army can report his name." ”

"Cao Ren, the Governor of the Cao Army, is also!Who are you?"

"Changshan Zhao Zilong, on the orders of my lord, has been waiting here for a long time. ”

Cao Ren laughed and said, "Hmph, it doesn't matter which mountain dragon you are! Just because you and the rabble want to fight us? In that case, I'll kill you first!"

Cao Ren slapped his horse and rushed straight up, arrogant. Li Dian shouted in the back: "Be careful, Zhao Yun is excellent in marksmanship, not an idle person!"

Zhao Yun raised his gun to face the battle. The two clashed, Cao Ren stabbed several times in a row, and Zhao Yun flashed one by one. He was ordered by Shan Fu not to fight back for the time being.

Cao Ren became more and more courageous the more he fought, and used his skillful combat marksmanship, as if he had completely suppressed the opponent in terms of momentum; Zhao Yun pretended that he could not resist, and after struggling to block the opponent's last wave of attacks, he ran out of strength, turned his horse back, and ordered the army to retreat.

Cao Ren thought that he was afraid of war, so he ordered the army to chase and kill. Cao Jun chased after him like a tidal wave.

Seeing that the enemy was deceived, Zhao Yun hurriedly waved his hand and issued a code, causing some of them to drop their helmets and weapons and pretend to be embarrassed.

Cao Jun really took the bait, chased after him even more unscrupulously, and stepped into the battle situation carefully designed by Shan Fu step by step.

While they were chasing, the front was blazing, and an army came out from the halfway. Cao Ren was taken aback.

This army was clearly properly trained, did not panic when encountered, and slaughtered in a three-column standard offensive formation.

Seeing the majesty and momentum of the opponent's army, Cao Jun couldn't help but start panicking and stopped his horse one after another.

Cao Ren said to the whole army: "Don't panic, everyone, the enemy is outnumbered, go on!"

Before the words fell, a big man in front of him rushed over with a spear and a horse, and his voice was like a huge thunder: "Where is the boy Cao Ren? Yanren Zhang Fei is here, hurry up and take your life!"

When Cao Ren heard that it was Zhang Fei, he hurriedly ordered the troops to besiege him. Cao Jun didn't know the strength of the other party, so they stepped forward to intercept him.

Zhang Fei rushed all the way to kill, as if he had entered a no-man's land, and suddenly his flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the corpses were piled up like a mountain.

Cao Ren had heard that Zhang Fei had a tie with Lu Bu back then, and now he saw his quick knife slashing chaotic attack, causing his army to drop sharply, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

The three elite soldiers and the Cao army fought in a scuffle. Although Liu Jun is outnumbered, he is above Cao Jun in terms of combat effectiveness, which is also the result of Liu Bei's well-trained troops on weekdays.

At this time, Zhao Yun led the crowd to kill the horses. Surprisingly, the team was invincible everywhere they went, like a god helping them. Seeing this, Cao Ren and Li Dian panicked.

Zhao Yun went out to fight. When the two horses met, Cao Ren shouted: "Your subordinates are defeated, don't hurry up and dismount and surrender!"

Zhao Yun said sharply: "You are the real defeated general!"

The two fought. Zhao Yun was a little more serious this time, and used a trick "Golden Needle Long Thorn", the gun was like a shadow, and Cao Ren couldn't resist it all of a sudden, but fortunately, Li Dian came to the rescue in time, and he was able to get out.

Li Dian knew that he was not Zhao Yun's opponent, so he also turned his horse back after a few fights.

Seeing that the main general fled, Cao Jun began to be paralyzed and fled back one after another.

Zhang Fei wielded his spear to chase and kill, fierce and fierce, swallowing mountains and rivers; Zhao Yun also led the "sharpshooter team" to chase after him, and stabbed the enemy when encountered. It turned out that this team was carefully cultivated by Zhao Yun, and every member of the team was proficient in the Zhao family's marksmanship taught by him. Zhao Yun's marksmanship is unparalleled in the world, so the warriors he has cultivated are also unbeatable.

Under the leadership of Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, Liu Jun killed the enemy soldiers in scattered and intermittent ways, and they could not connect with each other. Cao's soldiers, who had lost their fighting spirit, had already collapsed and fled. The 25,000 Cao army was defeated by the 5,000 Liu army.

Shan Fu, who was watching the battle from the castle tower, couldn't help but smile when he saw that his strategy had succeeded for the second time. He remembered what Sima Hui had said: "Proud soldiers will be defeated." The soldiers are not many but fine, and the victory is not in the instrument but in the qi. He thought that the opponent lost two games in a row because he mistakenly believed that the number of people would determine the victory, which was the main reason for the defeat.

Liu Bei, who was standing on the side, saw this situation and said: "It seems that the example of winning more with less is about to add a new page to the history books." ”

Zhiming, who was on standby on the castle tower, also admired Shan Fu's tactics, he was originally responsible for directing the archers to shoot arrows outside the city, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary. Zhi Ming thought: As a newcomer who has just debuted and lacks actual combat experience, Shan Fu can command operations with ease and skill like a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time; if he does not have a profound foundation in military theory, rigorous and wise logical thinking, and the ability to make decisions on the spot, how can he do it? Could it be that these tactics were all passed down from his teacher? It seems that Sima Hui is really a hidden saint, and perhaps there is some connection with his mission.

Zhiming felt that he had grown up again, he had slowly adapted to this kind of battlefield life, and he had successfully completed the role change, from an ordinary martial artist to a full-fledged soldier.

Cao Ren was defeated, and Li Dian escorted him all the way. Zhao Yun and the others were instructed by Shan Fu not to chase after them, so that they could escape.

Running to the gate of Fancheng, Cao Ren shouted at the city tower: "I am Cao Dudu, open the door quickly!"

No response. He shouted again, but no one answered.

Cao Ren felt that something was wrong. At this moment, a tall figure appeared on the castle tower, and a man with a broad face and long hair laughed at them.

Everyone looked at it with the help of the firelight, and they were immediately shocked, it was Guan Yu - when Cao's army was out of the city, he led the army to take the city.

Guan Yu pointed at Cao Ren and said: "Cao Dudu, you only care about going out to fight, not about defending the city, I, Guan Yu, have come to take this city on the orders of Shan Fu's military division! Now you have no way to escape, why don't you capture it quickly!"

Cao Ren was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse, and said to everyone: "Withdraw!

The remnants of the defeated generals followed the down-and-out generals and fled quickly in the direction of Xuchang, and a few of them fell off their horses in a panic, and had no time to keep up with the brigade, so they had to flee to a remote place with their tails between their legs.

Seeing their embarrassed appearance, Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled. In fact, as long as he ambushed a soldier outside the city, he could catch Cao Ren 100%, but Shan Fu had an order, let him go back to report to Cao Cao, and ruin the prestige of King Wei.

Liu Jun returned to the city in victory, and Liu Bei once again thanked Shan Fu. Shan Fu helped him up and said, "Uncle Huang doesn't have to do the 'courtesy of a monarch and a minister', it's my own business." Yun Chang must have taken the city, let's go over and celebrate. ”

Liu Bei immediately led the crowd to cross the river and come to Fancheng. Although it was late at night, everyone was in good spirits and waiting to drink Huanglong.

When everyone came to the city, Guan Yu and the county commander Liu Yu were already waiting under the city gate. After a salute, Liu Mi welcomed everyone into the county office. The banquet has already been prepared, and the celebration banquet has begun.

The crowd took their seats. Liu Bei raised his glass and said to the generals: "Today's two defeats of the Cao army are all due to the joint efforts of my military advisor Shan Fu and all the soldiers, Liu is grateful! Let us toast to this victory!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all. Liu Mi, who was sitting next to Liu Bei, said, "Everyone, please listen to the next word. Although I, Liu, only sit in the position of a small county commander, I am also a person who understands righteousness. Cao Cao controlled the government and abused his power, and I have long hated him. When Cao's army was stationed in the city, I had already planned to instigate a rebellion, but because of the lack of troops, and Cao Ren said that they were ordered by the Son of Heaven to crusade against Uncle Liu. I hesitated for a long time, and although I knew that they were in the name of the Son of Heaven, I still didn't dare to act. Looking back on it now, I'm ashamed!"

Guan Yu said: "Liu Xianling does not have to blame himself, although you did not rebel, you have also made great contributions! When I came to seize the city just now, it was all thanks to you who took the initiative to open the city gate, and our army was able to enter the city smoothly without spending a single soldier. ”

When everyone heard this, they applauded. Liu Bei raised his glass and said: "With Liu County's order here, it is really the blessing of Fancheng and Jingzhou." Cao Cao's ambitions are known to the world, and I believe that there are countless patriots like Liu Xianling in both the DPRK and the DPRK. Come, let's toast to Liu County's righteous deeds!"

Everyone did it all, and it was really refreshing to drink after the victory.

After the banquet, Liu Bei and Shan Fu discussed that Zhao Yun and 1,000 men and horses would be left to guard Fancheng for the time being, in case the enemy army would turn back, and the rest would return to Xinye.

After returning to Xinye, Zhiming realized that his own strength was insufficient and his understanding of weapons was incomplete, so he humbly asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei for advice. When the two of them heard that someone was apprenticed, they were naturally very happy. Guan Yu taught him to use a broadsword, and Zhang Fei taught him to use a spear. Taking advantage of the fact that there is no war at present, Zhiming practiced the skills of knives and spears every day under the guidance of the two, and achieved quite a lot of results. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can also see that he is a martial arts all-rounder, who can understand everything at one point, and makes rapid progress, and secretly admires him in their hearts.
