I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 525, instigating rebellion

Zhang Fei sneered when he heard what Yuan Tan said: "You just said that to keep your position. Now there are 15 cadres in Yuzhou alone, and there are nearly 10 cadres on the opposite side of us. Luoyang City's 20 large army was transferred to Yingchuan. What can we use to fight against the large 30 army, and don't forget that among the 20 troops of Lei Gong, there are 5 cavalry. In Yingchuan, How can we defeat Lei Gong's 5 cavalry! Now we retreat, save our strength, and use the many waterways in the south of the Yangtze River to block the cavalry is the best choice!"

Jian Yong also persuaded: "General, we have been completely defeated in the battle of Yuzhou. If we continue to stay here, it will easily put our army in a dangerous situation. We should have made plans early, otherwise we will run away if we want to." Don't drop!"

"The current situation is that our army is defeated. If you don't want to leave, general, I will take the Hanzhong army away!" Zhang Wei didn't want to waste his soldiers on Yingchuan just like this. Zhang Wei was very self-aware, His eldest brother and elders are considered good at managing the local area. Over the past few years, Hanzhong has been governed like a paradise, but foreign wars will not work.

Although the soldiers in his hands have been trained for several years, they have not experienced foreign wars at all. Now the soldiers of other princes in the world have experienced more than ten years of melee. The degree far exceeds that of the Hanzhong Army in his hands, and even the soldiers of Yuan Tan later, don't look at them as defeated generals, but the evil spirit on them is far from comparable to that of the Hanzhong Army soldiers. Compared with these Central Plains princes , The soldiers in his hands are no different from recruits.

It's not that Zhang Wei has never deceived himself, thinking that his soldiers can fight on the battlefield, but when he fights against Lei Gong's men, he is defeated by them and needs Liu Bei to rescue him.

All the generals in the barracks persuaded Liu Bei to retreat, but Liu Bei smiled wryly and said, "With this retreat, the Central Plains will really be captured by Lei Gong. At any rate, we will have to fight Lei Gong, so as not to dampen the morale of the army. Otherwise, in the future, the lieutenant general and school will dare to face the big army! And if we don't defeat Huang Long's army head-on, how can Huang Long see us retreat."

At this time, Zhao Yun said: "My lord is right, only if we defeat Huanglong first, so that Huanglong has scruples in his heart, we can retreat safely!"

The other generals thought about it, and thought that Liu Bei's scruples were justified. Huanglong still has 2 cavalry in his hands. If they keep following the army, it will be really difficult for them to withdraw from Yingchuan County!
After everyone came to a common understanding, Liu Bei firmly said: "Tomorrow we will launch an active attack on Huanglong. We will first severely injure Huanglong so that Huanglong loses the power to pursue us, and then retreat towards Nanyang County!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Bei said to Zhang Wei: "Huan Gong led 2 Hanzhong troops as our army's reserve army, and appeared at the most critical time!"

Zhang Wei excitedly said: "The last general will not disappoint the general!"

In fact, Liu Bei knew that the Hanzhong Army's combat effectiveness was poor, and he was afraid that the Hanzhong Army would collapse at the first touch on the battlefield, which would implicate them.It can be said that Zhang Lu's ten-year recuperation in Hanzhong has completely disconnected the Hanzhong army from the Central Plains army. The soldiers brought by Zhang Wei are not even as good as the county soldiers in Jizhou back then.Soldiers like Liu Bei who have fought fiercely in the Central Plains for ten years are even worse. Among other things, the equipment alone is worlds apart.

In the coalition army, whether it is Liu Bei or Yuan Tan, [-]% of the soldiers have iron armor, while the Hanzhong Army does not say [-]%, not even [-]%, only the officers at the level of army commanders have iron armor, even hundreds of pairs of armor in the [-] army It may not be possible to raise it, and Liu Bei has been in the army for more than ten years, and it is natural to see that the Hanzhong Army has not seen blood, and even their daily training is very lazy.

The most important thing is that Liu Bei asked Zhang Wei to attack Huanglong's army, but the [-] Hanzhong Army was defeated by a battalion of Dagan's soldiers. If he hadn't provided timely support, the Hanzhong Army might have been completely wiped out by the Dagan Army , The fighting power of the Hanzhong army is so poor, he dare not let Zhang Wei face Lei Gong's tiger and wolf division!

The story is divided into two parts, Huanglong and others on the other side of the Rushui River are also trying to figure out how to defeat Liu Bei's army!
"How many enemies does Liu Bei have on the opposite side of the Rushui River? Do they have any reinforcements?" Huang Long asked in a low voice, looking at the Yuzhou sand table in the big tent.

He had an army of 15, but was forced by Liu Bei to ask Xu Wei for help. Huang Long seemed to be very embarrassed. He also wanted to teach Liu Bei a lesson before Xu Wei's reinforcements came to support him!Save face!
"There are about 10 troops. Liu Bei brought 5 troops from Jingzhou. These soldiers are relatively elite. It is difficult for our soldiers to gain the upper hand on the battlefield!" Fuyun said slightly worried.

"Fortunately, there are not many such troops. After many strikes by us, Yuan Tan has not many veterans in his hands. The combat effectiveness of the 3 soldiers he brought this time is more than double that of before the war started two months ago. And the Hanzhong army was still alive before Lingdi died, the [-] troops can be said to be not much worse than trash, and one battalion of our army is enough to wipe them out!" Said the two troops behind Fuyun's face finally relaxed Some!
Huang Long said solemnly: "Although the combat effectiveness of these two armies is poor, Liu Bei is a fierce tiger. The ruler said that a sheep led by a tiger can defeat a tiger led by a sheep! It is because of Liu Bei's leadership that Yuan Tan and Zhang Wei's armies broke out. Show far beyond their own fighting power!"

"I want to teach Liu Bei a lesson before ruling to support us. I don't know what you guys think!" After speaking, Huang Long looked at his generals!

There was silence in the big tent, and everyone was thinking about how to teach Liu Bei a lesson!
At this time Liu Shi said: "We have the advantage of maneuvering, and we can send cavalry across Rushui to attack Liu Bei's flank. Here's a chance!"

Song Yi smiled and said: "We have already crossed the Ru River, why don't we think of a way to completely defeat the Han coalition forces, but only a part of the coalition forces. Judging from the current situation of the war, Yuan Tan has been completely defeated by us. It may become our obstacle again. In the future, our biggest enemy must be Liu Bei. Annexing Zhang Wei and Yuan Tan's 5 troops is not as good as defeating Liu Bei's [-] troops. If the general can keep Liu Bei in Yingchuan County, it will be great for us To put it bluntly, this is the greatest feat of the world!"

Huang Long said: "Is it okay to kill Liu Bei? I fought with Liu Bei all the way from Jizhou to Yuzhou now, but Liu Bei is still alive and well!"

Song Yidao: "Even if Liu Bei cannot be killed, it is a great achievement to wipe out Liu Bei's 5 elite! We can send a team of cavalry along the Rushui River to kill Liu Bei's rear, go to Nanyang, and cut off the traffic in Nanyang County and Yingchuan County. The grain road, if the grain road is intercepted, the Han allied forces will undoubtedly be defeated."

Fuyun saw the sand table and said: "Then we are going to attack Luyang in Nanyang County, which should be the food and grass of the Han coalition forces! Luyang's defense must be very strong, and it may be difficult to attack Luyang City with cavalry alone!"

Song Yi said with a smile: "Our cavalry is highly mobile. Why do we only go around for a few hundred miles instead of going deep into the Nanyang Army? Our army can definitely send a battalion of cavalry to cross the Rushui River, and then go all the way to Kunyang, Ye County and Gaiyang went south, killing Wancheng directly, attacking the city if there is a chance, and going deep into Nanyang County if there is no chance, killing him upside down, making Liu Bei's rear completely chaotic, maybe we can take the opportunity to occupy Nanyang County, for the next generation Let's attack Xiangyang County in one step and lay the foundation!"

"I have a better plan!" At this time, a person walked in outside the big tent, and everyone saw that it was Li Ru!

Huang Long asked strangely: "You didn't follow Zhang Baiqi, why did you come to my Yuzhou!"

Li Ru smiled and said: "General Zhang Baiqi has led an army of 5 to attack Luyang City behind Liu Bei from Liang County, and copied Liu Bei's back route, so your idea of ​​​​cutting the back route of the Han coalition army is superfluous. So I came here because I have a way to help you defeat Liu Bei!"

Huang Long asked, "What can you do?"

Although Huang Long asked this question, he didn't hold much hope. They had fought against Liu Bei for many years, and they knew that Liu Bei was their biggest enemy. How could it be so easy to defeat him? Although he knew that Li Ru was the top strategist of the Han Dynasty , but I don't think there is any strategy to help them defeat Liu Bei in such a head-to-head battle on the battlefield!

Li Ru smiled and said: "In order to defeat us this time, Liu Bei only led an army of 5 to attack because of the relationship between food and grass, but all of the 5 troops were Liu Bei's elites, and among the [-] elites there were many. My old friend, I can incite them!"

"Old friend!" Huang Long immediately said pleasantly, "You mean Hu Zhen, Zhang Ji and the others?"

When the Xiliang army was assassinated by Dong Zhuo, it was completely torn apart. Most of the generals fled to their hometown in Xiliang, and then joined Dagan again after the Dagan army occupied Xiliang, like Li Ru, Jia Xu and Niu Fu. , while some took refuge in Liu Bei, like Hu Zhen, and some wanted to retire from Xiliang to Shuzhong and took refuge in Liu Zhang, like Zhang Ji.After Liu Zhang was annexed by Liu Bei, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army like Zhang Ji now also took refuge in Liu Bei.

Li Ru nodded and said: "Last year's Great War in the Central Plains seriously injured Liu Bei, but Zhang Ji's subordinates in the middle of Shu escaped unharmed. This time there are probably tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers who followed Liu Bei. If the army instigates a rebellion, Liu Bei will definitely be taken by us, and even the 10 Han allied forces will be annexed by us!"

Huang Longchi questioned, "Liu Bei has been kind to Hu Zhen and the others all these years, will they really surrender to us?"

If Hu Zhen decides to betray Liu Bei and lead more than 1 Xiliang troops to launch a mutiny, this is an opportunity to severely damage the Han coalition forces. At the critical moment, Hu Zhen and the others turned against each other and struck with a backhand, which was almost devastating to the Han coalition forces.Guan Huzhen's Xiliang coalition army is enough to defeat the Hanzhong army and the Yuzhou army, and the army in his hands can guarantee this victory as long as he holds back the 8 elites in Liu Bei's hands. He has an army of [-] in his hands, which is the army in Liu Bei's hands Twice the size of the army, it can completely defeat Liu Bei's Jingzhou army.

Li Ru firmly said: "Hu Zhen and the others didn't have the help of the Prime Minister back then, and they were just small tyrants in Xiliang. It can be said that their current prosperity and wealth are all because of the help of the Prime Minister. Hu Zhen also wanted to avenge the Prime Minister. He took refuge in Liu Bei only because it was difficult for him to avenge the Prime Minister of the country, and he just wanted a place to live.

But now Yuan Tan is the enemy of the Prime Minister, and the Sangong Jiuqing of the Jingzhou court is the enemy of the Prime Minister. They can't let go of this hatred so easily!It can be said that the hatred between the two parties is as deep as the sea, and there is no possibility of reconciliation at all. If there is a chance, Hu Zhen and the others must have reasons for defecting to the ruling! "

Li Ru is very confident about this. He has been inquiring about Hu Zhen and the others all these years, and found that although Hu Zhen and the others took refuge in Liu Bei, they were not valued and trusted. The three princes and nine ministers of the imperial court were their enemies. , even Lu Bu hated them. If Liu Bei hadn't been a guarantor, they would have died in the hands of people like Wang Yun.

But Liu Bei couldn't go against the wishes of too many people, so he had to place Zhang Ji and the others in Jingzhou and the remote areas of Yizhou, which instead allowed Zhang Ji and the others to escape the Central Plains War.And when Liu Bei needs elites, he will have to recall Zhang Ji and his Xiliang soldiers!
And Zhang Ji and the others knew that now that the Han Dynasty had already set in, it was the best choice to seek refuge with Lei Gong. Zhang Ji had contacted Li Ru as early as a few years ago, so Li Ru had the confidence to severely injure the Han coalition forces!
After thinking about it, Huang Long felt that the failure didn't matter, but if they succeeded, they could completely defeat Liu Bei.

So he asked: "Are you going to send someone to contact Hu Zhen and the others!"

Li Ru smiled and said, "I'll go in person!"

Midnight the next day!

Li Ru contacted his spies in the Xiliang Army, and then sneaked into the Xiliang Army's camp!

"Wen Cai, long time no see!" Li Ru looked at Hu Zhen and said.

Hu Zhen looked at Li Ru in surprise and said, "Wenyou, why did you come to the coalition camp? You don't have to worry about being discovered by Xuande Gong and hacking you to death!"

After he finished speaking, he looked outside the big tent and found that no one was paying attention here, so he was relieved!After all, Li Ru and Jia Xu are now the most famous two people in the Xiliang Army in Hebei. Jia Xu was originally famous, but this time, as soon as Li Ru entered Luoyang City during the Sili War, turmoil began to break out in Luoyang City the next day. In the end, it became a mutiny, and everyone was saying that Li Ru was sowing dissension, which caused the chaos in Luoyang City. Everyone was described by Li Ru as a vicious person, and he was given the nickname of a poisonous man.

Zhang Ji smiled and said, "Wen You was invited by me!"

Li Ru looked at Hu Zhen and asked, "Do you want to take revenge as a Prime Minister?"

Hu Zhen nodded firmly and said: "Of course I want to, but I have never been able to do this. Wang Yun and Yang Biao are high-ranking and powerful, and I can't do anything about them. Lu Bu and his martial arts are so strong that I can't beat them at all. Even Yuan Tan It's one of the princes, and it's not something a defeated general like me can deal with!"

Li Ru smiled and said: "Now our chance has come. Although we can't kill Wang Yun, Yang Biao and Lu Bu now, we can find a way to kill Yuan Tan and the others! Yuan Tan has now become a bereaved dog. If the Allied Han forces are defeated in Yingchuan County, Yuan Tan will definitely die!"

Hu Zhen was surprised: "You want me to surrender to Lei Gong?"

But Li Ru said: "It's not surrender, it's surrender to the ruling. Sooner or later, the world will be in power. After conquering Yuzhou this time, as long as Cao Cao in Qingzhou is wiped out, the ruling can send millions of troops to attack Xiangyang City. At that time, Wang Yun, Yang Biao, Lu Bu and none of them can escape, we can avenge our country in person!"
