Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 600 Heal the scars and forget the pain

Cao Ren retreated from Fancheng in two groups. Pound's cavalry was sent to intercept Yin Shu and Zhu Gai's troops. Guan Yu combined the cavalry from each battalion in Jingzhou into one army and handed it over to Zhang Fei, who was proficient in guerrilla tactics.

Guan Yu asked Zhang Fei and Pang De to focus on raiding and harassment, and asked them to keep as many defeated troops in Fancheng as possible while preserving their strength.

The mission of the Yin Department and Zhu Gai was to drive the refugees to Deng County, but they knew that this task was extremely dangerous, so they abandoned the people and fled to the northwest when they were [-] miles away from Deng County.

Zhang Fei and Pang De launched a two-day pursuit of the deserters in Fancheng in the vast land west of Deng County. The two troops killed more than [-] ranks of Cao Jun in total. The establishment was broken up during the pursuit, and Cao Ren and Xu Huang's two departments also suffered relatively large losses.

After cleaning up the field battlefield, Zhang Fei and Pound returned to Deng County to report victory. Everyone was very convinced by Lan Tian's strategy, especially using psychological tactics to force Cao Ren away.

Guan Yu couldn't help but praise: "Soldiers are deceitful. Sun Ziyun's strategy of attacking soldiers" and "soldiers of others without fighting." Where did you read it in the Art of War?"

Lan Tian smiled slightly: "Uh... Yun Chang should know that Xiang Yu is surrounded, and Han Xin is surrounded by enemies besides ambushes?"

"I know that you are surrounded by songs, but Ziyu didn't send anyone to Fancheng to sing the songs of the Central Plains, so Cao Ren fled in the end." Zhang Fei scratched his head to express his confusion.

Guan Yu frowned and said: "The use of military tactics lies in flexibility. Han Xin used Chu Ge and Zi Yu to use rumors. The reason is the same. It's just that I don't quite understand why you didn't use arrow books earlier."

Lan Tian saw that everyone was 'thirsty for knowledge', so he explained: "The purpose of this plan is to get rid of mental defenses. The process is like wine making. It has to go through multiple links such as ingredients, cooking and gelatinization, cellar fermentation, and wine steaming. Just throw it in the cellar pool, and every step of it is integral."

Zhang Fei shook his head, "I don't know how to make wine, so I'd better just drink refreshing."

"The purpose of sending the corpse later is..." Guan Yu continued to ask for advice.

"The arrow books we put into the city are both true and false. If there is no evidence, they are all rumors, but if some real evidence is sent in, those rumors will become credible..." Lan Tian continued to explain.

Guan Yu stroked his long beard and nodded: "It's true, it's false, it's false, I understand it when Ziyu says that..."

"Second brother, what are you working so hard for? In the future, if you encounter troubles, ask the military advisers or Ziyu to offer advice. Let's just follow their strategies. If you ask so many questions, you won't be able to learn..." Zhang Fei reminded.

Guan Yu shook his head lightly, "Even if you can't learn it, you still need to know it. You can use tricks to identify the enemy in the future. Didn't you, Yide, use the tactics of the martial arts hall very flexibly? It is always right to learn more. of."

"That tactic is not difficult..." Zhang Fei scratched his head and laughed.

Everyone saw Zhang Fei's naive look, showing his teeth with the corners of his mouth raised. Gao Shun saw the gap and said to Lan Tian: "Sir, just sent a horse to report that Cao Cao's main force has passed Chaoyang, and he will reach Deng County in one day. Your retreat enemy!" When is the trick to be used?"

"No rush, no hurry." Lan Tian shook his head slightly.

"What's the trick?" Zhang Fei looked at Gao Shun and signaled, seeing that the other party didn't seem to be planning to tell him, so he stared at Lan Tian again expectantly.

Lan Tian smiled slightly: "Naturally, the clever plan has to be kept secret, so if you tell it, you won't..."

"Fancheng urgent report."

A high-pitched voice outside the door interrupted Lan Tian's answer, followed by a scout entering the room and handing a letter to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu quickly opened the envelope to read, and Wo Can frowned into a word of Sichuan. Zhang Fei hurriedly asked, "Second brother, what is the urgent matter in Fancheng?"

"Xingba received an urgent letter from Dudu Su, and that Bi Yaner is not honest." Guan Yu slapped the table with his palm.

Zhang Fei echoed angrily: "This guy is really healed and his scars are healed. We have successfully captured Fancheng anyway, so we might as well rush to Jiangxia to destroy them."

Lan Tian took the letter from Guan Yu. It turned out that Sun Quan had assembled [-] soldiers. This time, with Zhou Tai as the general, the warship left Chaisang and stationed in E County. Fazheng, Su Fei, and Li Yi are not qualified, and they want Guan Yu or Lantian to go to Jiangxia to negotiate terms with Jiangdong.

"Lu Meng and others defeated Jingzhou for more than two months. They thought that Sun Quan would rest until spring, but they would recover after the first month. But I don't know why Lu Xun is not the commander?" Lan Tian frowned puzzled.

"It's not that your estrangement scheme is too strong, that guy Lu Xun really suffered a disaster." Zhang Fei muttered.

Guan Yu frowned, "Generals Su and Li really can't control the scene, and now Jingzhou has fewer soldiers and more boats, and we are about to start a war with Cao Cao. Sun Quan's mistake of taking advantage of the fire and looting has happened again."

Lan Tian nodded, "Yun Chang's analysis is reasonable, and I also suspect that Sun Quan and Cao Cao secretly communicated with each other, otherwise the news would not have come by such a coincidence. For the current plan, all the naval forces in Xiangfan can be transferred away, so that Gan Xing Ba first go to Jiangxia to stabilize them, and talk about the prisoners after we have retreated from Cao Cao."

Guan Yu asked: "With the addition of General Gan's troops in Xiangfan, Jingzhou's naval forces are no more than [-]. If Sun Quan wants to die, then Jiangxia won't be lost again?"

"These naval forces are estimated to be all Jiangdong's possessions. General Gan and Su Dudu are familiar with Jiangxia's terrain, and there are French army divisions to help. As long as there is nothing to rely on, he will never take this risk, this time is nothing more than cooperating with Cao Cao, and I don't know what benefits he will get..." Lan Tian analyzed.

"Since that's the case, I'll send General Gan to the south immediately. I originally planned to send him to defeat Cao..." Guan Yu shook his head.

Lan Tian nodded affirmatively: "Don't worry Yun Chang, we won't fight Cao Cao soon, I will write a letter to General Gan later, let him go to Jiangxia to act according to plan, and there is no problem in delaying Sun Quan for a few days."

"It's best like this." Guan Yu looked relieved, and then told Guan Ping: "Ping'er, let someone quickly fetch a pen and paper."

"Wei." Guan Ping cupped his fists.

When Lantian was writing a letter to Gan Ning, Cao Cao lost his temper in the camp of Cao Jun in the south of Chaoyang. Cao Ren, who had been fleeing after many escapes, finally joined him, and Guan Yu's three wooden boxes were also brought here.

After scolding Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Zhao Yan and others, Cao Cao was saddened by Lu Chang's head. He was a capable minister Cao Cao gained in Jingzhou and had outstanding achievements in guarding Xiangyang for more than ten years. Guan Yu beheaded.

"It seems that Xuan Ou's trick was taken. Sun Quan said that this person is comparable to crouching dragons and phoenix chicks. From this point of view, there are real materials. I will not punish you for the crime of abandoning the city. Anyway, you can get it back soon. " Cao Cao said coldly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone replied in unison.

"Zhongda (Sima Yi), immediately send someone to send the heads of Lu Chang and Xu Shang back to Xudu for a dignified burial. I'm lonely and exhausted. You should retreat first." Cao Cao covered his head with his left hand and waved to everyone with his right hand.

Chapter 6 I Don't Do Losing Businesses

Sima Yi pointed to Lu Meng's head and asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do with Lu Meng's head?"

"Since it's Bi Yan'er, I'll send it back to Jiangdong in a good wooden box." Cao Cao had a terrible headache, and after a few perfunctory words, he refused to speak again.

Seeing that Cao Cao was indeed unwell, everyone was driven away from the main tent by Xu Chu.

When leaving, Cao Ren called Sima Yi outside the tent, "Zhongda wait a minute."

"Is there something important for General Zixiao?" Sima Yi asked curiously.

Cao Ren: "When does Zhongda plan to send his head back to Xudu?"

"Since it was entrusted by the king, I dare not delay. I want to send someone out tomorrow morning. General Zixiao also has letters and other things to bring back?" Sima Yi guessed Cao Ren's intention.

Cao Ren nodded and replied: "It's not a letter. Our department injured Niu Jin's head by falling from a horse. Now he is as stupid as a three-year-old child. I plan to send him back to Xudu for medical treatment, but now I want to beg Guan Yu with the king of Wei." , so I ask Zhongda to send Xu Duan back for me, and I will be grateful for returning to Xu after the war."

Sima Yi was born in a rich official family, and now he is a figure highly praised by the Henan gentry, so he has a lot of energy in Xudu. Cao Ren also had this consideration in approaching him.

"General Zixiao, please relax. I will arrange for General Niu properly. How can I thank you for helping General Niu..." Sima Yi cupped his hands humbly.

"If that's the case, let's talk about it after the war." Cao Ren didn't hesitate.

After resting overnight, Cao Jun broke out of camp and headed south again.

In Chaoyang, Zhang Liao, Cao Ren and other ministries were joined together. At this time, Cao Cao had nearly [-] troops.

After 12 years, he went to Jingzhou again. It may be that he was troubled by a head wind disease, or it may be that the hero is late. Cao Cao no longer has the pride of being a mighty whip in the past.

The mood of the coach will affect the mood of the whole team. During the march, everyone kept silent and looked very dull. Cao Cao's headache symptoms improved slightly after a night of sleep.

Cao Cao saw that the atmosphere was not good, so he took the initiative to bring up the topic, referring to Zhang Liao, saying: "I have been alone in the world for decades, and I have never been so cautious when the army is superior. It can be regarded as giving Yun Chang enough face. His sentry Is it really that powerful? It may not be possible to go this way, right?"

"The last general has made a special inspection. General Guan's scouts are mostly within [-] miles. You will know in two hours. His quickness and individual ability are really comparable to tiger and leopard cavalry." Zhang Liao replied with clasped fists.

Cao Cao thought while stroking his mottled beard. He couldn't accept the existence of being stronger than tiger and leopard cavalry.

Just now after Zhang Liao praised the opponent's scouts, Xu Huang and Zhao Yan whispered what happened to Fancheng. Because Cao Ren did not go out to fight in the city, he reported in a general way when he returned to the team. Cao Cao only knew that the abandonment of Fancheng was due to the shortage of winter clothes and rumors were flying.

Cao Cao frowned: "Boran, Gongming, what are you talking about?"

"Uh... the general thinks what General Zhang said is right. Although Fancheng was not directly besieged before, there were too many scouts in the dark outside, which prevented our news from being sent out, and the news from outside couldn't come in. As a result, the morale of the army in the city fluctuated and the panic intensified." Xu Huang answered with cupped fists.

Cao Cao twitched his beard with empty eyes, and said to himself: "So Yun Chang has also raised a fine cavalry, and I want to compete with him with tiger and leopard cavalry."

"Guan Yu's scouts can only cover thirty miles, which means that the total number of this fine cavalry is relatively small. I estimate that there are only a few hundred people. They can only be used as sentries and guards. Don't worry about it, Your Majesty." Sima Yi comforted.

"Zhongda is right, because Guan Yu has many steps and less cavalry, and the number of people is far smaller than ours. Wen Yuan suggested to use the advantage of cavalry to divide the battlefield, and then encircle and defeat them one by one with a large army. Which one do you think is better to use to defeat the enemy?" Cao Cao smiled, thinking that he was sure of victory.

Sima Yi frowned and replied: "The area between Chaoyang and Deng County is a great plain, which is very suitable for cavalry to split the battlefield, because the combat area of ​​an army of tens of thousands is large enough, and it is easy for cavalry to find weaknesses in mobile operations. The key depends on the ability of the generals at all levels to control the field. "

Cao Cao looked around and said with a smile: "Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Gao Shun on the opposite side are all famous generals in the world. Our side will also gather stars. Even if the battle losses are greater, there will be no problem in winning in the end."

"Ahem... Don't forget about Gao Shun, and the camp..." The skinny Cheng Yu coughed and reminded, maybe because he was too old, he was on the verge of falling from the bumps on the horse.

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, and Zhang Liao looked at his words and made him unhappy. Zhang Liao quickly said, "Your Majesty, Gao Boping's ability to govern the army is very good. His camp has now expanded to nearly ten thousand people. His combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated, but the heavy infantry Combat is very exhausting, and when the time comes, you can use cavalry to contain the enemy, just like fishing to exhaust the enemy."

"Wen Yuan's idea is very good. I'll let you go for a walk when the time comes. You and Gao Shun should compete with each other." Cao Cao nodded in agreement with his brow stretched out, thinking of Yu Jin who was captured by Guan Yu, it was a pity. Also a good hand.

"Uh...Zhang Liao obeyed."

"Your Majesty, we need to beware of Guan Yu sticking to Deng County..." Lu Jian reminded Cao Cao behind him.

Cao Cao snorted coldly and said nothing, Yilang Zhao Yan leaned over and reminded in a low voice: "Facing the absolute disparity in military strength, defending a poor city is tantamount to severing your own way of retreat. It is impossible for Guan Yu to understand this truth. Didn't General Lu defend Deng County as well?"

"Uh... Zhao Yilang's words made me suddenly understand..." Lu Jian knew what he said, but he was actually looking for an excuse for himself. He didn't get a good look in front of Cao Cao.

Zhao Yan and Lu Jian had an old relationship, and saw through each other's thoughts, so he cooperated with him to finish the trick, and at the end he did not forget to add, "Although it is impossible to defend according to Deng County, it is very possible to stick to Fancheng."

Cao Cao was surrounded by sensible people, and when he heard that the two did not respond after performing the oboe, the conversation stopped abruptly here.

The army continued to advance southward, and had just entered the [-]-mile range north of Deng County, the scouts Zhang Liao had mentioned appeared. Cao Cao wanted to compete, so he sent Cao Xiu to chase after him with tiger and leopard cavalry.

Cao Xiu chased for more than ten li, and all the cunning scouts escaped, but the tiger and leopard cavalry were shot and killed five or six people. After Cao Cao understood the situation, his face was livid, and he secretly scolded Cao Xiu.

Since their whereabouts had been monitored, the marching speed for the last thirty miles slowed down significantly, and it was already dusk when they arrived at the camp site.

Guan Yu didn't send troops to harass him on the way, which made Cao Jun's generals have a point of view: We have a lot of soldiers now, and Guan Yu dare not take the risk to attack.

After hearing the order to camp and rest, most of Cao Ying's soldiers immediately relaxed.

But when Cao Jun built the camp, the sound of horseshoes outside the camp was like thunder.

Under the dark sky, countless cavalry screamed and rushed from all directions.

"To rob the camp, Guan Yu is here to rob the camp."

"Where is the enemy?"

"In the west... no... there are also in the east..."

"Calm me, don't panic."

……

Although no one cried for their father and mother, the local area was already in chaos.

There are hundreds of companies and battalions of [-] soldiers, and the news of the enemy's attack is like ignited firecrackers, which explode in all directions along the fuse.

The relaxed generals tensed up again, and the soldiers in their respective battalions were ready to fight.

In the dim light of the sky, the two masters came together on horseback, and then whispered to each other outside the camp.

"Ling Ming, who shall we kill more enemies this time?"

"Three generals, let's not compete today, shall we? Sir, let us not focus on killing the enemy, but give Cao Cao a blow..."

"It's all here, don't you think it's appropriate to kill it quickly? I remember Ziyu once said well, 'I don't do business that loses money'."

"Don't forget that we only have these cavalry. If we lose too much, it may affect the outcome of the war..."

"Don't forget that I played with Cao thief in Wudu. I can do the losing business?"

"Uh...then the ratio is lower than our battle damage?"

"Compare to compare."

Zhang Fei and Pound discussed the attack route, and each led a team of elite soldiers into the unconstructed camp. The cavalry who shouted and shouted before were just suspicious soldiers used to confuse them.

Chapter 6 and Two

Zhang Fei and Pang De each led more than a thousand elite soldiers into the Cao camp. These elite soldiers were all well-equipped and had strong horses. riots.

Because Cao's army had assembled 10 soldiers at this time, coupled with the exhaustion and slack of marching for a day, it was not easy to immediately stop the riots, because the 30 troops were composed of more than [-] troops. Each general is only in charge of a few armies.

Each army has 200 soldiers, but there are hundreds of officers at all levels in command, including one general, two generals, four lieutenants, eight army commanders, sixteen marquises, 32 officials, There are 64 team leaders and 320 Huotou (ten-member leaders).

During the war, soldiers used drums, bells, horns, flags, etc. to execute military orders, and to implement orders and prohibitions according to the will of the commander. The role can only be restrained by officers at all levels through scolding and other methods.

There are more than [-] officers in the [-] soldiers. Once there is turmoil, they are all shouting at the same time, and a mixed sound is formed in the air above the camp. Go to the nearby camp to prepare the team. The chaos in the camp continued to intensify as Zhang Fei and Pound went deeper.

The army in charge of guarding the camp was stopped by the chaotic and panicked crowd. In addition, the various armies fought on their own in the panic, unable to effectively encircle the invading enemy. The tent was destroyed, and the horses that had been tethered together lost their reins somehow, and they were frightened by the fire and ran wildly in the camp.

People running, horses stepping, knives chopping, and fire splashing are everywhere on the screen, surrounded by the sound effects of crying, fighting, and scolding.

Half an hour later, Zhang Fei and Pang De rushed out of Cao Ying, and the two met at the predetermined location.

"It's really fun. I killed at least 60 to [-] people this trip, plus the others killed a total of over a thousand people. Just counting the number of people, I lost more than [-] horses. How is your side?" Zhang Fei laughed happily. asked.

Pound held the reins and shook his head, "We were just riding horses in the camp, and we didn't count the number of enemies killed by beheading generals, but I only lost five of the thousand riders I brought into the camp."

"The battle loss rate is so low? Even if you didn't kill many enemies, Cao's soldiers would fight each other and trample on each other. In short, this deal will not lose money." Zhang Fei nodded comfortingly.

Pang De then added: "What the three generals said is that we accidentally found Cao Ying's stables, so we drove and released thousands of war horses. They were rampaging in the dark night. I think the loss is not small."

Zhang Fei was taken aback when he heard it, and thought that I was still showing off in front of you, but in the end it was me who was the clown?

"Wonderful, Ling Ming, how did you think of it?" Zhang Fei asked.
