Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 408 Ghost soldier meets ghost general
Now that Cao Jun's food and grass are almost exhausted, even if he retreats, there is a risk of lack of food and mutiny. Liu Ye advocates continuing to launch an offensive with all his strength, and the food crisis can be resolved by taking Yangping Pass.

Liu Ye sent someone to report his opinion to Cao Cao, and at the same time followed Xu Chu and Xiahou Dun's troops, intending to encourage them and Xiahou Yuan to launch a night attack.

As twilight fell, Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu's messenger troops walked in the dark, but because they had never been to the front line, they lost their way in the foggy mountains.

"General Yuan Rang, we have already detoured for two hours, which mountain is General Miaocai on?" Liu Ye usually accompanied the army on horseback, so he recklessly walked at night and complained.

Because there were only more than a thousand soldiers going up the mountain to deliver orders, and they were afraid that Zhang Wei would arrange an ambush on the way, so they did not dare to light torches to expose their whereabouts, and they only relied on the not very bright moonlight in the sky to travel.

As a general, Xiahou Dun was also speechless, thinking that this general only has one eye left, do you still need me to show you the way?Where have I been to the front line these days?But he had a high status in the army after all, so he had to answer Liu Ye's question.

At this time, it was dark all around, and there were faint lights in the camps on the top of the hills. Xiahou Dun pointed to the brightest camp and said, "According to my many years of experience, that's Miaocai's camp over there."

"Then we can hurry up and find a way to organize a night attack on the enemy camp while General Miaocai is not resting." Liu Ye suggested.

Xiahou Dun shook his head and replied, "My lord, let us cover the retreat. Disobedience on the battlefield may result in beheading. If Mr. Ziyang can change Duke Wei's mind, then I will let Miaocai attack Zhang Wei at night."

Liu Ye said embarrassingly: "I have sent someone to report to Duke Wei. I think it was because it was dark and it was inconvenient to send orders. Duke Wei encountered food and grass shortages many times during his battles. The general should be very familiar with it. If you don't take risks and use strange things, how can you achieve great success? ?”

"Ah, this." Xiahou Dun recalled Cao Cao's early years, whether he was fighting against Lu Bu in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, or resisting Yuan Shao's attack in Hebei, most of the time he was not rich in food and grass, and he was very embarrassed in almost every battle. The battle for Yanzhou is still fresh in my memory, because there is Xiahou Dun's sad story there.

When Lv Bu attacked Cao Cao's rear Yanzhou, Cheng Yu made human jerky because of lack of food. Not only was Xiahou Dun shot blind in one eye at that time, but he also believed that his surrender was captured by Lv Bu's men. The "meat ticket general" became a joke all his life.

The past kept flashing through his mind like a revolving lantern. Xiahou Dun then took off the cloth covering his blindness, and let the cool wind in the mountains blow the horrible eye holes that had already scabbed.

Although it was already a cool autumn, but he kept climbing up the mountain at night, his underwear was already soaked with sweat, and Xiahou Dun's eye mask and wrapping were also wet with sweat. The salty sweat is a little itchy.

The troops who went up the mountain to deliver orders did not hold up torches, and Xiahou Dun himself walked at the front of the team, so he was not worried that anyone would see his ferocious face.

Blind Xiahou pointed the way indiscriminately, and led more than a thousand soldiers recklessly looking for lights. When they just touched the gate of the village, the soldiers in charge of defense shouted in fright: "Ghosts!"

Frightened, a few sentries ran to the village in a panic and ran to their deaths. They shouted in panic: The ghost is here, the one-eyed ghost is here.
Zhang Lu called himself "Shijun" in Wudoumijiao, and those followers who followed him turned into soldiers called "Ghost Soldiers". It is ironic that ghost soldiers are afraid of ghosts.

Following the exclamation of the sentries, the sleeping 'ghost soldiers' didn't know what happened, and soon the whole camp became a mess, and many people were dragged to Yangping Pass without even getting dressed. Fleeing, this unexpected situation was unexpected by Cao Jun, Xiahou Dun put on the blindfold under the reminder of the lieutenant general.

This camp was Zhang Wei's main camp. At this time, he was furious in the main tent. Yang Ren, the deputy general of Yangpingguan, took advantage of the opportunity of transporting grain and came here to report the situation of the general Yang Bai to him.

Zhang Wei knows the importance of the common people better than anyone in the camp. Although Yang Bo has an urgent need to open up the grain roads, such a 'stupid' behavior will inevitably lose Zhang Lu's foundation in Hanzhong, and all the people in Hanzhong will run away and leave empty shells. Meaningless.

Zhang Wei originally planned to go back to Yangping Pass overnight and let the deputy general Yang Ren replace the chief general Yang Bai, but suddenly there were panic screams outside the tent, and he hurriedly called the guards to ask: "What happened in the camp?"

"The west gate of Dazhai met the enemy, the leader seems to be a one-eyed ghost general." The guard said hesitantly.

Zhang Wei slammed the case and yelled: "It's really unreasonable. They are ghost soldiers themselves, afraid of meeting Cao thief's ghost generals? Which general is willing to kill the evil ghosts? I also want to stabilize the panic in the camp."

All the generals in the camp did not respond to the words. They were influenced by Zhang Lu and all believed in the Five Dou Rice Sect. Originally, the Sect preached gods, gods, ghosts and ghosts. Now who is not afraid of the wind blowing at night?
"The final general is willing to go." Yang Ren was grateful for Zhang Wei's kindness of "official reinstatement", and took the initiative to stand up and ask Ying to retreat from the enemy.

Zhang Wei nodded in relief, "The scouts on the outside did not report the enemy's attack, which means that there were not many Cao troops sneaking up on the mountain at night. Ru quickly led a group of people to the Xizhai Gate, and he took the lead to meet me regardless of whether he was a man or a ghost. "

"only."

Yang Ren clasped his fists and turned to leave. He lifted the curtain to face a gust of evil wind, and directly blew out the candlelight in the big tent. Zhang Wei and the others felt their arms were a little cold, and then they walked out of the main tent.

At night, the lights in the camp were dim, and the soldiers took off their armor at night. Xiahoudun and the others didn't know they were in the wrong place. Looking at the chaos in front of them, Xiahoudun was still wondering to himself: How does Miao Cai manage the army?Why are you running away before receiving the order to retreat?

Xiahoudun and Xu Chu led the troops slowly approaching the camp, and soon Yang Ren led a group of soldiers and horses to kill them aggressively.

"Where do you guys dare to pretend to be gods and ghosts to rob the camp? I, Yang Rencai, don't care about any one-eyed ghost generals. My big sword kills and kills ghosts." Yang Ren held the big sword horizontally and sat on the horse condescendingly. Xiahoudun, Xu Chu and others paid attention to it.

Both Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu walked on foot. Although their martial arts skills were good, they would suffer a lot without horses.

The one-eyed general Yang Ren was talking about must be Xiahou Dun, so when Xiahou Dun saw Yang Ren galloping, he retreated instinctively, leaving Xu Chu the most forward position.

The purpose of Xu Chu going up the mountain was to protect Xiahoudun. At this time, facing the menacing Yang Ren, he thought about getting him off his horse first.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Ren's fast horse was already in front of him, and Xu Chuqing raised his Fire Cloud Saber to block the oncoming broadsword with all his strength, and then rolled to relieve the force and dodge, and then rolled directly to the edge of the tent on one side.

Yang Ren dispersed Xiahou Dun's vanguard troops, but he ignored the one-eyed ghost general. Instead, he reined in his horse and locked on the "reckless man" who blocked the sword just now. He believed that Xu Chu was the leader of the raiders, and what he had to do now was Capture the thief first and capture the king first.
