The ancient literati were so able to fool, Duan Dahu began to believe it a little.

But he asked, "If I don't know it myself, how can you know it?"

Xu Shu said: "Mr. Shui Jing has entered the realm of earth immortals, so he can naturally see through it. And before I arrived at Shuijingzhuang, I saw that the dragon was vigorous here, and I thought it was Uncle Liu Huang earlier, but it turned out to be you, the general. He turned to Mr. Shui Jing and said, "I guess Mr. knew that I was coming, and deliberately stimulated General Duan's dragon king qi?"

Mr. Shui Jing said with a smile: "You have searched for the Lord all over the world, and today you are far away in front of you." Since they have come, let them go. ”

Xu Shu said: "The way of civil and military affairs is relaxed, and someone must guard the country if someone fights the country." The general was assisted by Uncle Liu Huang, and since then he has no worries about internal affairs, which is the foundation of the princes;

Duan Dahu hurriedly saluted and said, "Duan Dahu, please ask Mr. to teach him." ”

He was worried in his heart: "I just arrived in Jingzhou today, and I actually got two military advisors, am I really the bloodline of the Dragon Emperor they say, and pacifying the world is just around the corner?"

was secretly happy in his heart, but Xu Shu poured cold water on him: "Lord, although you are the blood of the Dragon Emperor, but now the situation is very unfavorable to us, although the world is big, there is no place for us." ”

He added: "Uncle Liu Huang is now guarding Xinye City, if Cao Cao wants to go south, the first battle will definitely be Xinye!"

......

......

On the second day, Duan Dahu was practicing Tunai in bed, but there was a lot of noise outside Shuijing Villa. Suddenly, a person shouted loudly: "Dare to ask Liu Bei if Liu Xuande is here?"

The voice was very familiar, Duan Dahu was startled, ran out barefoot, and shouted, "Yun...... General Zhao, I'm here. ”

The person who came was none other than Zhao Yun. It turned out that she went to Xiangyang with Liu Bei for a banquet yesterday, but halfway through Liu Bei learned that Cai Mao was going to start, so he didn't have time to tell Zhao Yun, so he led the horse and ran out. Zhao Yun was drinking with other generals when he found that Liu Bei was missing, and chased him out immediately. searched everywhere and finally learned Liu Bei's whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, he met Duan Dahu here.

Zhao Yun's face turned red, and seeing that Liu Bei had also come out, it was inconvenient to talk too much to Duan Dahu, so he had to hug his fists and say, "General Duan, you are also here." ”

Liu Bei laughed and said, "I didn't expect to meet in this Shuijing Villa today, so I missed my second and third brothers." At that moment, Xu Shu and Zhao Yun were introduced, and Zhao Yun was also very happy to see a military advisor.

Zhao Yun said: "Brothers, now is not the time to speak, I received a report from the scouts in front of me, and the two guards of Fancheng, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, led 5,000 soldiers and horses to Xinye. At this point, I'm afraid I'm halfway there. ”

Liu Bei was shocked: "It's so fast!"

"Without further ado, let's go to Xinye to prepare for the battle. Xu Shu made a decision.

At that moment, everyone said goodbye to Mr. Shuijing, and quickly went to Xinye.

Of the nine counties of Jingzhou, Xinye is one of them. At that time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not in Xinye City, but went to other passes to garrison, and Liu Bei immediately summoned the two of them back. Duan Dahu was not familiar with the situation in Xinye City, so he still let Liu Bei sit in the main seat.

Liu Bei asked Xu Shu: "Strategist, do you see these two soldiers and horses attacking, I don't know if there is a good way to break the enemy?"

Xu Shu said slowly: "Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were originally generals from Hebei, and this time Cao Ren sent these two people to attack Xinye, but the intention was actually only to test the strength of Xinye City. Therefore, it is not difficult to defeat these two people, but it is necessary to win beautifully, so that Cao Ren does not dare to face Xinye squarely, and throw a mouse bogey, so as to win a respite for our army. ”

Liu Bei thought so, so he ordered the scouts to keep inquiring about Cao's movements, so as to wait for an opportunity to move. In the evening, Liu Bei led Duan Dahu and Xu Shu to inspect the soldiers and horses, but there were only more than 8,000 soldiers in Xinye City.

Duan Dahu sighed while looking at it, his heart was half cold, and he secretly said: How can such soldiers and horses be Cao Jun's opponents?

Xu Shu looked at it very carefully, and when he encountered something unclear, he asked Liu Bei again and again.

Early in the morning of the second day, Guan Yuma hurried and returned to Xinye City first. Liu Bei raised his account again, just as the scout reported: "Cao's army is still twenty miles away from Xinye. Xu Shu said: "The key to this victory or defeat is not to let the two of them attack the city, but to defeat the two outside the city." ”

Liu Bei hurriedly wrote a plan, and Xu Shu said: "The tired lord led an army out from the right to cut off the rear road of Cao's army; General Guan Yu led an army to the left of Cao's army to capture Cao's middle army; General Zhao Yun led an army to charge from the front, so that the second Lu can be broken." ”

Now they were commanded.

However, it was said that Duan Dahu led a thousand soldiers and horses to ambush on the right side, and he did not disturb Cao Bing when he saw him passing by. When Cao Jun finished, he suddenly heard a trumpet, and Zhao Yun came out from the front wearing white clothes and white armor, like a sharp sword inserted into Cao Jun's heart;

Zhao Yun danced into the enemy formation with a spear, snorted lightly, and killed Lu Kuang directly, but poor Lu Kuang just wanted to shout: "Who is coming?" and was picked up by Zhao Yun in one round. The Cao army was in chaos, Guan Yu slashed Lu Xiang to death with another knife, and the two Lu came violently, but he didn't expect to lose his life in one round.

Duan Dahu took out his treasure knife and shouted: "Soldiers, follow me to kill!" A group of old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers came to their senses, and rushed out of the hillside on the right side with a shout, just as the Cao army was defeated and retreated, Duan Dahu's mount rushed into the enemy formation, wielding a big knife unstoppable, and immediately killed several leaders.

The sergeants chased after Cao Bing and captured many soldiers, who turned out to be locals, and couldn't resist Cao Ren's recruitment policy and joined the army.

But this also confirms Xu Shu's speculation: Erlu is just a cannon fodder unit sent by Cao Ren, but the real elite of Cao's army has not appeared. This reminded Duan Dahu of the fierce combat power of the tiger and leopard riding against one enemy, and he still had palpitations.

But in any case, a lot of Cao Jun's grain and grass baggage were captured, which can be regarded as a great victory. Duan Dahu waited for the soldiers to pull the last batch of seized items back to Xinye in an ox cart, but found a man in black clothes and black armor on a dirt slope not far away.

The man didn't know when he was standing there, but a breeze blew, which still made Duan Dahu feel an incomparable coolness.

Is this murderous?

Duan Dahu decided to find out.

He used his free-swimming technique, and several ups and downs ran towards the man in black.

"Hey, who are you?" Duan Dahu asked in a loud voice.

But the man in black didn't intend to meet him, and he didn't hesitate, and rode the black horse towards Fancheng with a cold snort.

Duan Dahu stood at the place where the man in black had just landed, looking at the back of the man in black, and suddenly felt a sense of foreboding in his heart. It's like an eagle in the night, standing in a secret place and staring at itself.
