Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 65 Bowangpo, Xu Shu's Debut
Liu Bei's troops came out of Xinye. Among the less than [-] troops were the old troops from Runan, the Jingzhou soldiers dispatched by Liu Biao, the new recruits from Xinye, and the rebels collected in Jiangxia.

The training time is not long, there are not many battles, and the composition of the source of troops is complicated, so the combat effectiveness is worrying, but fortunately, Guan Zhangzhao is the enemy of ten thousand people, and Xu Shu's deployment of troops will look good.

Marching northward for half a day, we arrived at Xi'e. Nanyang guard Wenpin and Yiji greeted him outside the city.

Seeing that Yiji's expression was not good, Liu Bei's heart began to beat immediately. Could it be that Xu Shu and Lantian were right?
The two sides bowed their hands and saluted, Wen Pin said with a smile: "Liu Shijun came so fast."

"Soldiers are expensive, is General Wen ready? When are we going to leave?" Liu Bei asked.

"Shi Jun can go first, my side is not ready yet." Wen Pin replied with a smile.

Liu Bei was puzzled when he heard that, he looked at Yi Ji suspiciously, and said to himself that's not what you said before you left.

Yiji explained embarrassingly: "Zhongye can't get away for the time being, Xuande must wait for a while, or go alone to send troops first."

Wait?Wait until Cao Cao breaks Yuan Shao?

"This is the general order of the Fujun." Liu Bei had no choice but to carry out Liu Biao.

Wenpin smiled and said: "The situation in Nanyang should be clearer than me. In the north, there is Zhong Yao in Guanzhong. In the west, there is Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. In the east, there are soldiers from Xudu. I only have more than [-] people here, and I have to divide troops to garrison Zhuyang. , Boshan and other places, it is not easy to assemble in a short period of time.”

"When Cao Cao sent troops to Hebei, Xudu must be empty. This is a good opportunity. If the general joins forces with me, he might be able to save the emperor and make an indelible contribution." Liu Bei said sonorously.

"It's not that Pin doesn't want to obey the order of the lord, but it's actually that the major generals in Nanyang are few." Wen Pin excused.

"Can"

When Liu Bei still wanted to fight, Xu Shu stepped forward and said, "Since General Wen can't get away, why don't you lend my lord [-] to [-] soldiers, so as to live up to Mr. Liu's trust."

"This is..." Wen Pin said in his heart, what a guy, and he said that there are 2 people. Do you think my soldiers grow out of the ground?
"This is Bei's new military adviser, Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi." Liu Bei introduced.

Military division?Wenpin and Xu Shu bowed their hands to salute, "Master Xu is also reasonable, but it is difficult to allocate 2 to [-] people, so I will borrow [-] troops to send to the envoy."

"Two thousand soldiers are really too few. General Wen will think of a way." Xu Shu shook his head and said.

"Three thousand can't be more." Wen Pin looked distressed.

"Five thousand." Xu Shu continued to fight.

Yiji saw Liu Bei staring at him, so he suggested to Wenpin: "Liu Shijun is sincere, Zhongye should do his best to help him."

Wen Pin sighed, "Forget it, five thousand is five thousand."

In fact, there are more than 5000 garrisons in Xi'e, but Wenpin is unwilling to go to Xudu to die. Although his Wen family in Jingzhou is not a wealthy family, he is not a bullying generation.

Liu Bei garrisoned troops in West Hubei for half a day, and continued to march north early the next morning.

Looking at the people and horses going away, Yi Ji said to himself: "I don't know if Liu Shijun can make meritorious deeds by going here."

"Including my 2 soldiers, Liu Xuande has less than [-] soldiers. If he can take down Xudu, I will be disarmed and return to the field." Wenpin sneered.

"My lord's intention was to encircle Wei and save Zhao. By holding back Cao Cao's rear, Yuan Benchu ​​could win the frontal battle." Yi Ji sighed.

"Cao Mengde is good at using troops. Liu Xuande has been defeated several times before. This time, he has an additional military adviser. Let's see how he is. If he can win a small victory, I must tell my lord that he has a lot of ambition, so he has to guard against it." Wenpin said coldly.

"What if Liu Shijun is defeated?" Yiji asked again.

"Isn't that just using Cao Cao to weaken his strength? Liu Xuande is planting grain in Xinye, recruiting troops and buying horses. I have sent letters to Xiangyang many times. Perhaps the Lord also has this intention." Wen Pin said meaningfully.

"General Wen said" Yiji seemed to have realized something.

"I didn't say anything." Wenpin shook his head.

The news of Liu Bei's entry into the army had already been sent to Xudu by sentries.

At this time, Cao Cao's troops were in Liyang, and Xiahoudun stayed behind in Xudu. After receiving the information, he prepared his army for war and hurried to the Liyang camp to ask for instructions.

Cao Cao considered that Xiahou Dun's military ability was not strong, so he ordered General Jin and Li Dian, who returned to Xudu to transport food, as his lieutenants to go out to Xudu to defend against the invading Liu Bei's soldiers.

Xiahou Dun led [-] troops and encountered Liu Bei near Ye County at the junction of Runan and Nanyang.

Because of Xiahou Dun's large number of soldiers and his well-trained troops, Liu Bei lost [-] troops when the two armies fought for the first time in Ye County.

According to Xu Shu's plan, Liu Bei fought and left, and finally retreated to camp near Bowangpo, where the terrain is favorable.

Xiahou Dun took advantage of the victory to pursue and confronted Liu Bei in Bowang for several days.

One afternoon, a fire was ignited in Bowangnan, and the outpost officer returned to the camp to report that Liu Bei had set fire to his camp and left.

When Xiahou Dun came with his troops, the fire was still alive, "Liu Xuande is nothing more than that, he ordered the army to continue going south, and he must be captured alive and dedicated to the prime minister."

Pi general Li Dian advised: "Liu Bei's retreat without reason must be deceitful. The road to the south of Bowang Slope is narrow and the vegetation is dense. The general must not pursue him."

Xiahou Dun glanced at Li Dian, and said contemptuously, "Just now I have asked people to search carefully, and there is no luggage in Liu Xuande's camp, and there is no trace of cooking on fire. I guess his food and grass are exhausted, so he must have retreated after running out of food. "

"But."

Li Dian wanted to persuade him, but Xia Houdun waved his hand, "I've made up my mind, Man Cheng, you and your troops stay in the camp, and Wen Ze and I go after Liu Xuande."

"Wei." Yu Jin clapped his hands and said, he felt that Li Dian was too ignorant of current affairs, and Xiahou Dun was the number two person next to Cao Cao, what if he wanted to win a battle and earn some military merit?Besides, Liu Bei is not a strong opponent.

"Only" Li Dian had no choice but to agree.

Xiahou Dun led more than [-] people in a hurry, and not long after entering Bowangpo Canyon, he saw Zhao Yun escorting a group of luggage slowing down.

"Sure enough, Liu Bei is not far away, let me catch up." Xiahou Dun was overjoyed, so he reined in his horse and rushed forward.

Zhao Yun returned to Malay to fight Xiahou Dun, and the two fought more than ten times, regardless of the outcome.

Yu Jin led the army from the rear to arrive. Seeing that he could not win, Zhao Yun discarded his luggage and retreated deep into the canyon.

Xiahou Dun laughed loudly: "How can the mob under Liu Xuande defeat our elite? Today I vow to capture that big-eared thief."

He and Yu Jin were chasing after him, Zhao Yun fought and led Cao Jun deeper.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and Liu Bei and Xu Shu were in the dense forest on the mountainside. They looked down and saw Xiahou Dun's soldiers lit up torches, and they were walking towards the trap step by step.

The ambush soldiers on both sides of Bowang Slope were eating fried noodles and dried radish to replenish their strength, waiting for the order of the military advisor Xu Shu to attack.

"Military Master, Xiahou Dun really fell for it, when shall we launch an attack?" Liu Bei asked.

Xu Shu observed the situation in the canyon and said seriously: "Wait a little longer."

Liu Bei grabbed a handful of fried noodles and stuffed them into his mouth, almost choking on his throat, but fortunately, dried radish can make his mouth water.

"The taste of this fried noodles is not good, but it's still good to satisfy hunger." Liu Bei murmured.
