Small Landlords of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 47 063. Liu Bei enters Jingzhou

Liu Bei took Zhuge Liang back to his camp. The soldiers and horses he brought this time were all outside Xinye. Zhuge Liang was rescued by Liu Bei and Zhang Fei from Changsha County this time, and he directly joined Liu Bei. Zhuge Liang hated Wang Hao so much, why would he care so much.

"My lord, the small town of Xinye is difficult to defend, and Mr. Wang Hao is about to send his army north to attack Liu Jingsheng. Both the lord and Liu Jingsheng are relatives of the Han family, so they can settle in..."

Zhuge Liang joined Liu Bei, and the first plan was to let Liu Bei borrow Jingzhou from a tiger borrowing a pig.

"I'm in the same clan as Jing Sheng, how can I..."

No matter who he is in front of, Liu Bei likes to pretend to be pure, and he has always been full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. In fact, what he did that time was not a robbery, and I don't know how his face was cultivated.

Wang Hao must have felt uncomfortable when Zhang Fei put him in a position, so Pegasus rushed to Wuyang, Gao Shun led five thousand soldiers and horses across the Yangtze River, and headed straight for Xinye.

Xinye is a small town, but the news of Wang Hao's crusade against Liu Biao spread throughout the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty. Liu Biao sent the eldest princess Liu Qi to garrison Xinye, and garrisoned [-] troops to fight against Cao Mengde in the north and arrive at Wang Hao in the south.

Liu Qi is as timid as a mouse. After hearing Wang Hao's army dispatched, he was so afraid that he couldn't sleep at night. At this time, Zhuge Liang acted as Liu Bei's lobbyist, saying that Liu Bei was willing to help him garrison the gate of Jingzhou to resist Wang Hao's army.

Zhuge Liang stayed with Liu Biao for a while, and Liu Qi also valued his resourcefulness, so he agreed to Liu Bei's entry into Xinye.

Fifty miles away from Xinye, Gao Shun sent vanguards to explore the road, but no one was found after less than ten miles. Wang Hao and Gao Shun continued to move forward, and the army arrived outside Xinye City not long after.

"My lord, this road is a bit weird. This Liu Qi is not a famous general. Why is Xinye so guarded...?"

Gao Shunying has experienced many years of marching, but now that the soldiers of Xinye City are approaching the city, they are still patrolling on the wall tower, showing no sign of preparation for war. This is absolutely not in line with common sense.

"Hmph... How could Liu Qi know these tricks? I'm afraid Liu Bei and Zhuge Kongming have entered the city long ago. This should be Kong Ming's suspicious strategy..."

Wang Hao also felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it himself. Zhuge Liang's strategy could be written into a book, so naturally Wang Hao couldn't understand everything.

At this time, Zhang Fei led three thousand troops from his headquarters and walked around the trail to the small hill in Xinye. Liu Bei led his troops all the way west to Yaoxi Town. In Zhiye, Zhuge Kongming was sitting in the small town of Xinye, and Wang Hao and Gao Shun's five thousand soldiers were surrounded without knowing it.

"Report...to the general, something happened in the forest on the left..."

As the sky was getting dark, Tanma reported that there was movement in the woods. Gao Shun and Wang Hao looked at each other.

"The array is ready to meet the enemy..."

Gao Shun ordered all the soldiers to line up. The camp is a well-known offensive and defensive formation, which naturally has its strengths, but after waiting for a long time, no enemies from the forest came out.

"My lord, Liu Qi has [-] mercenaries in Xinye. Five thousand troops alone are not enough to capture Xinye, and the enemy..."

While Gao Shun was discussing with Wang Hao, a group of cavalry rushed out of Xinye City. Gao Shun once again ordered the soldiers to line up to meet the enemy. The opponent slipped out of the city gate and went back.

Just as the soldiers put down their vigilance, the woods on the right were full of gongs and drums, and the flags cheered. There were no less than 1 people, and Wang Hao's face became ugly.

He had learned tactics in the mercenary army. If the soldiers were in such a state tonight, let alone attacking the city tomorrow, they would even lose energy when walking, and the opponent's front, left, and right sides seemed to have deployed troops, so it was impossible that there would be no troops in the rear.

Gao Shun's trapping camp showed its sharpness, but under such repeated and repeated suspicions, the vigor would be gradually worn away. Zhuge Liang wanted to wipe out Wang Hao's five thousand soldiers.

"Gao Shun, tell the soldiers...I'll go...wait...we..."

Soon after, the braziers where Gao Shun was stationed were extinguished one after another, and it was dark to see from Xinye City, only a little fire in the dark night.

At this time, Zhang Fei, who was guarding the hillside, was holding on to the snake spear tightly. He didn't know what to do now. From the woods, the Gaoshun camp was completely dark, and he couldn't see the enemy at night when he charged.

And Liu Bei led an army of [-] to the right. He could have attacked Gao Shun after nightfall, but Gao Shun's camp was very strong, and it was difficult for soldiers to charge at night, so he is now as entangled as Zhang Fei.

Liu Qi's troops could not turn back until dawn. Wang Hao expected that Zhuge Liang wanted to annihilate them all, so he asked Gao Shun and others to extinguish the brazier. The soldiers hid in the woods. Wang Hao gave them each a handful of wheat straw, so they would not be in trouble even if they slept in the woods. cold.

When Wang Hao and Gao Shun went to Xinye, Zhang Liao's army marched northward from Wouyang, and soon encountered the army stationed by Wenpin. Huang Zhong set off from Wuling, and also encountered the Jingzhou army. Gan Ning and Tai Shici led the navy Go up along the river, approaching Nanyang Ferry.

After the sky became dark, Liu Qi led 200 soldiers and horses and finally turned back to the outside of Xinye City, but there was an accident on their way forward, and more than [-] crocodiles hid in the grass on the side of the road.

At this time, the sky had just dawned, and the soldiers hadn't slept well all night, and they couldn't see the hidden crocodile clearly. Three thousand soldiers and horses of Liu Qi's vanguard passed by...

The three thousand soldiers and horses of the Chinese army also passed by...

The [-] soldiers and [-] infantry escorting food and grass behind rushed out before the crocodile could react.

"Help me..."

"Monster..."

Jingzhou soldiers who had never seen a crocodile were scared to death by the crocodile. After the crocodile sprang out, they kept attacking the infantry. At least two or three people were killed with a flick of the tail. 4000 people pulled a long line, and more than 200 crocodiles lost nearly half of them after the impact. .

When Liu Qi's vanguard turned around and came back, Crocodile Dou hid in the river beside the road. Liu Qi sent five hundred soldiers down the river to investigate. After a while, the river turned red, and Liu Qi turned around and ran away in fright...

But Liu Bei was always a little worried when he didn't see Liu Qi coming back at dawn. At dawn, he saw that Gao Shun's camp was empty, and heard a cry from behind. The soldiers and horses are about to pursue.

Liu Qi and Liu Bei's soldiers and horses met unexpectedly. Seeing Liu Qi's soldiers and horses panic and chaos, there were only more than 6000 people left, and all the food and food were cut off...

After Zhuge Liang asked, he found out that Liu Qi was attacked by hundreds of crocodiles. Liu Bei also remembered the crocodile in Wang Hao's hand, so he was a little unwilling to let Wang Hao escape this time.

Let’s say that Gaoshun’s five thousand soldiers slept in the wheat grass, and Zhang Fei’s troops were on the hillside of this forest. After dawn, Zhang Fei set up his men and horses to go down the mountain. rushed down.

Zhuge Liang was the first to discover that Gao Shun and others had evacuated overnight, and in the middle of the night they spied horses out of the city to investigate. Gao Shun's barracks ten miles outside the city was empty.
