Chapter 825 Raiders of Bingzhou ([-])

Guo Jia's advice is excellent.

It's just that according to his vision, 10,000+ troops are needed to proceed.

Xu Ding thought about it.

Huang Zhong's Central Plains Field Army and Guan Yu's Hebei Field Army probably had nearly 10 soldiers.Cheng Yu, who is stationed in Youzhou, can also raise an army to fight in Taiyuan.

But it takes a day or two to arrange the overall situation.

"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be discussed in a long-term manner, and Liu Bei must not be frightened. Otherwise, if he escapes into Taihang Mountain, it will be a disaster for all eternity." Guo Jia said.

Xu Ding thought for a long time
Finally said: "I will take Dian Wei and three thousand Qingqi from the Royal Forest Army to Jinyang to attract Liu Bei's attention. You are in charge of commanding the army and deploying it around Taiyuan. When you are ready, you will inform me. When the time comes I will ask Guan Yu to assist you. In addition, I will give Cheng Yu a military order to send an army to fight in Taiyuan."

"It's so good." Guo Jia cupped his hands and said, "I obey!"

Taiyuan Jinyang.

Guan Yu was ordered to capture here.

Since he came to Jinyang, he has launched seven consecutive attacks, but failed to conquer the city.The general who prevented him from succeeding was named Chen Dao, who was recruited by Liu Bei in Yuzhou in previous years.He has an elite group called the White Haired Soldiers, who are extremely powerful in combat.Guan Yu could not win after a long battle.

"General, Your Majesty is here..."

"where?"

Guan Yu led his soldiers back to camp.

Xu Ding inspected the Hebei Field Army and arrived at the Central Army.

Guan Yu came and said: "See Your Majesty."

"Yun Chang is free. How is the war going?"

"In the end, you will fail His Majesty's high expectations. I have been in Taiyuan for several months, but I haven't made an inch of merit." Guan Yu said ashamedly.

"You have many cavalry and are not good at attacking cities. It's no wonder." Xu Ding didn't blame Guan Yu.

Guan Yu said: "It's not that the Hebei field army is not good at attacking the city, but that there is an elite group in Jinyang City, which never retreats in a deadly battle. The last general personally led the army to kill the city tower seven times, and was also forced to go down the tower."

Xu Ding wondered: "Under Liu Bei, is there such an elite? Do you have a banner?"

"Yes, their banner is white-haired soldiers, and their clothes are different from other soldiers. They are extremely brave and good at fighting." Guan Yu said.

"It turned out to be a white-haired soldier."

Xu Ding remembered.

There is indeed such a unit under Liu Bei's command, not only Liu Bei's elite vanguard, but also Liu Bei's personal guard.Every time Liu Bei was in danger, they were the ones who rescued him.

"Is the general who leads the army called Chen Dao?" Xu Ding asked.

"It's Chen Dao, how does my lord know?"

"That's right." Xu Ding said: "Chen Dao commanded the white-haired soldiers and personally commanded the defense of the city. No wonder you failed to conquer the city after attacking for several months. But you don't need to fight now, and lead the whole army to retreat to the main road of Taihang Mountain .”

"Your Majesty, why is this?" Guan Yu cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please give the general three more days to conquer Jinyang City!"

"No need, you lead the army to retreat, I have my own strategy to defend against the enemy." Xu Ding said.

Guan Yu was extremely unwilling, but he didn't dare to disobey the order openly. He cupped his hands and said, "Yes, the general will withdraw as soon as he is ordered."

Guan Yu's Hebei field army still has more than [-] soldiers, half of them are cavalry, and they are best at field warfare.

He led his army to leave Jinyang and emptied the defense area with a radius of hundreds of miles.

Simultaneously.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang who entered Bingzhou returned to Jinyang smoothly.

Zhuge Liang was very worried, and said: "My lord, we have already received news that Guan Yu led an army of nearly [-] to besiege Jinyang. It has not been conquered. But now that the lord is returning, he should have sent cavalry to intercept us, so that we cannot return to Jinyang. Then break down one by one, but they all retreated. The matter is unusual, and the lord has no choice but to guard against it."

"How to prevent it?"

"I can't figure out Guan Yu's thoughts for a while. My lord, please send [-] troops to station outside the city to form a pinch against Jinyang. If Guan Yu comes to attack, we will attack from both sides, and he is bound to lose."

"it is good."

Liu Bei accepted Zhuge Liang's suggestion and asked Chen Dao to lead white-haired soldiers and [-] infantry to station outside the city.

He and Zhuge Liang guarded the city.

Guan led the army to withdraw to the main road of Taihang Mountain and lurk into the mountain.

He still couldn't figure out why Xu Ding would do this.

"My lord, why are we withdrawing our troops?" Guan Yu came to Xu Ding's camp and asked his doubts.

"Every county in Bingzhou has the Taihang Mountains, which are extremely dangerous. If you continue to attack Jinyang City and fight bloody battles with Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, I believe that with the strength of the Hebei Field Army, you should be able to win. But can you guarantee that they will all be wiped out? Once Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are allowed to sneak into the mountains, even if we have a million troops, it will be difficult to wipe them out. Therefore, I have already set up a plan to surround and kill Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in Taiyuan." Xu Ding said with a smile: "Yun Chang, don't worry, just wait patiently. A few days. We have an army of nearly 100, and we are heading towards Taiyuan. When the layout is completed, it will not be too late to fight Liu Bei. By then, he will be unable to escape!"

"I see."

Guan Yu said happily: "If Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang can be wiped out in one fell swoop, it would be the best strategy. But... where did we get the [-] troops?"

Xu Ding said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about that, within half a month, there will be one hundred thousand troops to help."

"The last general will go to reorganize the army, let the soldiers rest for a few days, and then wipe out Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in one fell swoop!" Guan Yu bowed his hands and retreated.

Dian Wei walked in and gave a memorial to Xu Ding: "A troop of cavalry came from outside the battalion, and presented a memorial."

"It must have been sent by Cheng Yu, bring it quickly."

I promise to open it to see.

The letter said that Lü Bu was in Jixian County urging for armor and armaments. Hearing that the army was attacking Bingzhou, he insisted on leading [-] cavalry to help the battle.It is now almost to Bingzhou.In addition, Cheng Yu dispatched [-] garrisons from the border counties and marched west along the Taihang Mountains. It was estimated that they would arrive in Taiyuan in [-] days.

"Haha. Good!" Xu Ding was very happy.

Dian Wei also grinned and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you so happy?"

Xu Ding said: "Lu Bu is also coming to Bingzhou, and he brought [-] cavalry with him. This is a huge boost for us. I have increased my confidence in encircling Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang."

"Well, Lu Bu is really brave." Dian Wei also had to admire.

"When Lv Bu arrives, I will have nothing to worry about. Dian Wei, send an order to Guan Yu for me. Three days later, all the infantry will block the main road of Taihang Mountain, and the cavalry will follow me to Jinyang to fight. This time I will personally command and take down Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang."

"promise."

Dian Wei left the account.

a few days later.

Lu Bu's army arrived in Taiyuan.

He originally wanted to meet Xu Ding first, but he was afraid that Xu Ding would not allow him to fight, and Guan Yu would take advantage of it.So he led the army to Jinyang alone.

Outside Jinyang City, there are [-] infantry troops stationed from Chen to [-], as well as brave white-haired soldiers.

Lu Bu didn't even think about it, and didn't send anyone to investigate, so he led [-] cavalry and went straight in.

Da da da.
When the cavalry entered the camp, there was a fierce confrontation.

Neither Liu Bei nor Zhuge Liang expected that tens of thousands of enemy cavalry would suddenly appear in Taiyuan, marching so fast that they almost entered the camp in the blink of an eye.

Chen Lai did not have time to fortify, so he could only lead the white-haired soldiers into battle.

However, the white-haired soldiers are infantry. Although they are extremely brave, they are not the opponents of Lu Bu's wolf cavalry.

The two sides fought for a quarter of an hour before being defeated.

Soldiers everywhere in the camp were also severely injured.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang came and attacked Lu Bu from behind.

Lu Bu hurriedly turned around to fight, fighting hard.

The battle lasted from midnight to noon the next day, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.Lu Bu was also wounded, and the remaining 1000 infantry of the wolf cavalry under his command died in battle.

And the [-] enemy troops who fought against Lu Bu were beheaded [-]!
There are not many white-haired soldiers left.

Lu Bu broke out of the encirclement and rushed to Xu Ding's camp.

"Lu Bu!"

In the army tent, Xu Ding was furious: "I thought you led [-] iron cavalry, enough to deal with Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, but who would have expected you to be so stupid that you would go deep alone and attack the enemy's camp. Don't you I can't see that Zhuge Liang camped outside the city to lure the enemy? Once your cavalry goes deep, he will attack from behind."

"You lost [-] cavalrymen in the first battle, are you guilty?"

"The general will be convicted..." Lu Bu knelt in front of the camp, not daring to meet Xu Ding's gaze.

"Left and right, take Lu Bu down!" Xu Ding shouted.

"promise."

The soldiers stepped forward and pinned Lu Bu down.

All the generals came out to intercede: "Your Majesty, please bypass General Lu."

"No, he is greedy for meritorious deeds and has caused heavy damage to our army. If he is not punished, how will military discipline survive?" Xu Ding said: "Push him out and behead him for public display!"

Lu Bu trembled from Xu Ding's fright.

Guo Jia cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, although General Lu's aggressive advance has caused heavy casualties to our army, but this battle also caused heavy losses to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. Can you give him another chance to make up for his mistakes? Besides, General Lu is the first The general of the field army has made outstanding achievements, how can he be killed so easily?"

Xu Ding walked back and forth a few steps, and glared at Lu Bu: "If you don't plead with filial piety, you will be punished. But... if you are not punished, it will be difficult to convince the crowd. Dian Wei, take Lu Bu down, with a heavy stick of forty!"

"promise."

Dian Wei led Lu Bu out of the tent.

All the generals also followed out.

He was executed outside the account and fought forty military battles.

Guo Jia whispered: "Your Majesty, Lv Bu has a vengeful nature. If you fight against him, aren't you afraid that he will have a different heart?"

Xu Ding said: "I can't do without fighting. If I don't beat him, all the generals will follow suit in the future, leading the army to fight, greedy for merit, how can I lead the army? Besides, Lu Bu is too crazy, he needs to be beaten. Otherwise, he will go crazy. to heaven."

"Don't worry, Fengxiao, I have a measure."

To be executed.

Xu Ding went to Lu Bu's tent with the best medicine for golden sores, and treated his wounds.

And told Lu Bu why he had to be beaten.

When Lu Bu heard this, not only did he not feel hatred, but he became more loyal and respected Xu Ding more.And I promise that I will never be greedy for meritorious deeds in the future.

"Fengxian, take care of your wounds. After a while, when we encircle Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, you will still be the vanguard to attack and kill the enemy." Xu Ding said.

"Yes. But... the army of the last general has..."

"I know that your army was completely lost in the last battle. I will ask Guan Yu to give you all the cavalry, which is more than [-]. Whether you can capture Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang depends entirely on you Already." Xu Ding said.

Lu Bu was very moved, endured the pain, got out of bed and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the last general will definitely make a contribution this time!"

Armies from all walks of life gathered in Taiyuan.

Although he has been very careful to hide his whereabouts, he has not been able to hide it from Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

After they were severely injured by Lu Bu, only [-] troops remained.

But Zhuge Liang received the news that the Huaxia army marching towards Taiyuan had 10,000+ cavalry.

No matter how good his strategy is, no matter how exquisite his formation is, it will be difficult to win.

Zhuge Liang suggested to Liu Bei: "My lord, for the present plan, we might as well retreat into the Taihang Mountains to avoid the front for a while. When Xu Ding's army withdraws and goes to deal with Cao Cao, we will come out again and counterattack Bingzhou."

"You want me to give up Bingzhou?" Liu Bei said in surprise, "This is absolutely impossible!"

"My lord..."

"You don't need to say, Bingzhou is what I took with great difficulty, and it is also the foundation of my Kuangfu Han Dynasty. If it is lost, it will be very difficult to regain it. Kong Ming, we can't lose Bingzhou!"

"I know, but the enemy is strong and we are weak, so how can Bingzhou be defended?" Zhuge Liang persuaded, "If we retreat to Taihang Mountain, even if Xu Ding has a million troops, he will not be able to encircle us."

"My lord, living in Bingzhou, doesn't he also value the danger of Taihang Mountain, why don't you want to take advantage of it now?"

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and said: "Please believe me, my lord, we will come back within a year!"

Liu Bei knew in his heart that what Zhuge Liang said was absolutely right.

When in desperation, it is the best policy to retreat and abandon Bingzhou.

But there are some things that he really can't bear.

Bingzhou is his hope and the foundation of Kuangfu Han Dynasty.

Even if he loses it for a year and can finally get it back, he is not willing to take the risk.

"Jinyang City is tall and strong. No matter how strong Xu Ding is, he may not be able to attack. Let's defend the city until he runs out of food. What do you think?" Liu Bei said.

Zhuge Liang said: "My lord, Xu Ding has won most of the world, and most of Bingzhou counties and counties have fallen into his hands. Soldiers, horses, money and food can be transported to Bingzhou continuously. How can it be possible to run out of food?"

"I implore my lord, retreat to the Taihang Mountains!"

Zhuge Liang knelt down and insisted on his opinion.

"Ugh."

Liu Bei frowned, waved his hands and said: "This matter must be cautious, let me think about it."

Liu Bei locked himself in the room and thought about this issue.

Zhuge Liang and the generals were anxious outside the house.

"Mr. Kong Ming, just now the scouts came to report that Guo Jia's soldiers and horses have already occupied all the important places in Taiyuan and are heading towards Jinyang. Xu Ding and Lu Bu also traveled from north to south from Yanmen County. If no decision is made, it will take less than three days. , Jinyang will be completely surrounded." Chen Dao said.

"yes.."

Zhuge Liang had already guessed that Xu Ding wanted to completely wipe out Liu Bei with his superior force.

"General Chen, we can't wait to die in Jinyang. We must retreat into the mountains to avoid the sharp edge, and then counterattack Taiyuan. Do you agree with me?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"The final general agrees."

"Since I agree, I would like to ask you to do me a favor, may I?"

"Please tell me, sir."

Zhuge Liang moved closer to Chen Dao's ear and whispered a few times.

Chen Dao was shocked: "The general dare not dare."

"Didn't you agree with what I said just now? Everything we do is for the good of the lord, why dare not? You have to know, if you wait any longer, when Jinyang City is besieged, we will not be able to leave even if we want to, and the lord will not be able to leave." Will be annihilated by the flames of war." Zhuge Liang argued cleverly for a while.

Chen Dao finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and replied, "Don't worry, sir, we will definitely handle this matter well!"
