Who is not Cao Cao?

Chapter 173

Wen Pin followed Dr. Ren's gaze towards the hill, and sure enough, he saw the flag waving behind him, and there were roughly figures camping behind it.

But for some reason, Wenpin always felt that something was wrong...

"Doctor Ren!"

"Yes! General!"

Wen Pin was very cautious, pointing to the hill and asked: "Didn't you say that Liu Bei fled in a hurry to collect the remnants here? Why is this camp so clean and tidy?"

It turned out that the layout of the camp was too strict and could not be completed in a short period of time. No wonder it aroused Wenpin's suspicion.

Looking at this familiar way of camping, Dr. Ren immediately understood that a certain general with obsessive-compulsive disorder surnamed Yu insisted on showing off the operation here, but now Wenpin saw the flaw.

"General Wen!"

Dr. Ren's expression became ferocious: "My lord has only half his life as a soldier, so it is clear how to set up camp!"

"Besides! Although my lord did not win many battles, did he also lose few battles? From the Yellow Turban Rebellion to Qingzhou, then to Xuzhou, and then to Runan! No one can compare with how to deal with the aftermath after the defeat. My lord! General Wen, you should study hard!"

Wen Ping:"……"

After being silent for a long while, Wen Pin squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Liu Xuande...is really amazing!"

"That is!"

Dr. Ren's proud face made Wenpin slowly cover his chest.

"Liu Xuande is lucky to have a soldier like you..."

"for sure!"

"..."

Taking advantage of the lack of blood supply to Wen Pin's brain, He Yan...ah no, Dr. Ren pointed to the camp in front of him: "General Wen, then shall I call Liu Yuzhou to see you?"

"Ah."

After receiving the order, Dr. Ren rushed towards the camp, but after a while, Dr. Ren returned to Wenpin with his head downcast.

"General Wen, Liu Yuzhou personally led the troops to investigate the military situation near Xinye, but he is not in the camp. Why don't you wait here for a while?"

Wen Pin frowned and said, "Not in the camp? What about Sun Qian, Jian Yong, and Mi Zhu and Mi Fang?"

These people all followed Liu Bei to visit Liu Biao, so Wenpin had an influence on them.

"They were all dispersed by Cao Jun!"

Dr. Ren responded to the offer without blushing.

"It is precisely because Liu Yuzhou didn't see the other people that he ignored his own safety and sacrificed himself to save people in the direction of Xinye!"

Wenpin snapped: "Nonsense!"

After finally escaping, how can there be any reason to continue to kill in?Didn't it mean that Liu Xuande had a lot of experience in escaping?Why don't you even understand such a thing?
"Liu Xuande is really confused! Hmph!"

Especially when Wenpin thought of the Cao Jun cavalry wandering in the south of Xinye, his whole body became numb: "No way! I have to go and find Liu Xuande!"

"General Wen!"

Dr. Ren pointed to the endless wilderness: "Going to Liu Yuzhou now is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack. It is better to stay here and wait for Liu Yuzhou to come."

The surrounding areas of Xinye are basically plains. Once you encounter enemy troops, you will basically fight directly.

Under such harsh combat conditions, Wenpin hesitated again and again, but finally did not order the pursuit, but left the troops stationed here.

In order to express his goodwill, Wenpin also specially allocated his military rations to Liu Beijun who was resting next to him, so that they could replenish their strength.

After Dr. Ren knew about this, he immediately brought hundreds of soldiers from the camp to Wenpin's army formation to thank them and praised the benevolence and righteousness of his comrades in Jingzhou.

"You don't need to be grateful. After all, you are all under Liu Jingzhou's command. You need to restore your combat power as soon as possible and cooperate with our army to fight!"

Dr. Ren repeatedly said yes, and brought these soldiers to the side of Wenpin's rear army, and had dinner with Wenpin's army.

However, Wenpin chose to camp here, but his mind never relaxed, and he kept looking in the direction of Xinye City.

"You say that Cao's army used the method of ants to attack the city, so Cao's army must have suffered heavy losses... It stands to reason that taking Xinye is the limit, and there is no way to wipe out the remnants of the surrounding army. Why Liu Bei has not come back after going so far ?”

Dr. Ren had already returned to Wenpin at this time, and after looking at the sky, he said to himself: "It should be soon!"

"Quick what?"

"Coming."

Wenpin only thought that Dr. Ren was talking about Liu Bei, so he didn't care, but waited in the tent.

Just when Wenpin got impatient, the warning sound in the camp brought Wenpin back to his senses immediately.

He rushed out of the camp that had just been set up, and before the guards around him reported the military situation to him, he climbed up the archery tower and looked out.

I saw that in the wilderness in the north, an army under the banner of "Liu" was approaching constantly, and there were at least 2000 or [-] people in size!
"Could it be that Liu Bei is back?"

Wenpin was overjoyed, and all the complaints about Liu Bei before turned into praise: "It is indeed a bit of a skill to be able to gather [-] to [-]% of the soldiers in such a short period of time!"

However, as the "Liu Bei Army" continued to approach, this surprise turned into fear again!
"Enemy attack!"

The "Liu Beijun" rushed towards Wenpin straightly, and the speed didn't slow down at all. The most terrifying thing was that there were soldiers who pulled out countless big guys from their crotches as soon as they were within range. Wen Pinjun shot out.

"It's Cao Jun's crossbowman!"

Wenpin, who had been fighting with Cao Jun all the year round, immediately recognized that those big guys were all crossbows unique to the Central Plains army, and quickly got the soldiers ready to meet the enemy.

At this moment, there was another commotion in Wenpin's army.

A moment later, a scout covered in blood came running from the rear army, and said in a hoarse voice: "General Wen! That group of people just now is not Liu Beijun! It's Cao Jun!"

Wen Pin blinked his eyes fiercely, even blinking his own forehead lines: "Cao Jun!?"

"It's Cao Jun! They are led by a general named He Yan, who is besieging us from the rear!"

"He Yan???"

Wenpin recalled the "Liu Bei soldiers" he had seen today, and shook his head in disbelief: "Those soldiers did not have the stroke of He Yan as Dr. Ren described!"

and many more……

Dr. Jen?
Wenpin looked around, only to find that Dr. Ren, who had been entangled with him since the first meeting today, had completely disappeared.

"Where is Dr. Ren? Dr. Ren! Let him come to see me!"

Wen Pin's mind was in a mess at this time, until he saw "Doctor Ren" riding a fast boat from the rear army to kill him, Wen Pin realized that Dr. Ren was all nonsense!

"You are He Yan!"

"General Wen, you didn't recognize me in Xinye in the past one year. It really made He feel very uncomfortable!"

He Yan had wiped off the blood on his face, and was riding on Kuaihang's back, looking down at Wenpin.

"It's you?"

With He Yan's reminder, Wen Pin finally remembered that when he went to meet Liu Bei last year, he had indeed met He Yan by Cao Ren's side.

Realizing that he had been deceived by He Yan for a day, Wen Pin was ashamed and annoyed, and directly raised his weapon to kill He Yan.

"Stop hurting Captain He!"

Wenpin rushed forward, and Lu Meng, who had been by He Yan's side all the time, also started to jump wolf at this time, and directly met Wenpin head-on.

"Go up and kill He Yan!"

Wenpin's hands and arms were entangled, but his mouth was not idle, and he ordered his left and right soldiers to continue to kill He Yan.

Fortunately, He Yan's two pendants, Xu Hu and Xu Bao, were no longer acting. They each held a sword and shield, and they held He Yan firmly behind their backs to resist the enemy's attack.

When the two sides were fighting fiercely, another Cao army came from afar.Since then, the forces of He Yan, Xiahou Dun, and Yu Jin have been completely gathered here.

Because of the previous changes of the Wenpin army, this caused the Wenpin Chinese army camp to fall into chaos, and there was no time and opportunity to command the army. Wenpin's army was not to say that it was about to collapse in the battle with Cao Jun, but it was gradually Fall into the wind.

While Xiahou Dun led the soldiers to rush forward, he kept an eye on He Yan's position.

When Xiahou Dun found the location of He Yan and the others with his single eye, Lu Meng and He Yan were already in a hard fight, and could only rely on some antlers and tents to resist Wenpin's attack.

"Wenpin! Sent to die!"

Seeing that the situation was urgent, Xiahou Dun rode his horse and rushed towards Wenpin.

Seeing that Xiahoudun had already killed him in just a few breaths, Wenpin knew that it was time to retreat no matter how unwilling he was.

"Ming Jin withdraws the troops, leads the troops to retreat!"

A hasty and sharp voice sounded, and the Wenpin army retreated towards the south like a tide, leaving behind a messy battlefield.

"Yuro!"

Xiahou Dun came to He Yan's side and carefully wiped the blood on He Yan's armor with his hands: "Is there any injury?"

"Uncle Yuan Rang, don't worry, I'm fine!"

Facts have proved that Xu Hu and Xu Bao deserved to be the warriors who followed Xu Chu. With the protection of this pair of bodyguards, He Yan was still as stable as a rock even in the chaos.

"Uncle Yuan Rang, quickly collect the armor and flags of the Wenpin Army! We are going to complete the second step of the plan!"

The first step plan is naturally that He Yan pretends to be the escaped Liu Bei's personal soldier Dr. Ren, brings Wenpin to the encirclement of Cao Jun, and sets Wenpin on the plain.

The second step is to use the banner of the Wenpin Army to fool Liu Bei after killing the Wenpin Army, and try to fool Xinye down.

In short - "Pretend to be Liu Bei to fool Wenpin, and then pretend to be Wenpin to fool Liu Bei!"

There was no time to repair, so after stripping off the armor of the dead soldiers of the Wenpin Army and putting them on, He Yan put on the banner of Wenpin again and set off towards Xinye.

On the way, He Yan also told Lu Meng who was beside him: "Liu Bei met me once in Runan, and that time was different from the time I met Wenpin. Liu Bei once saw me at close range when I was in Runan. , I must be very familiar with my appearance and figure, so this time you will be the commander in chief, and let Liu Bei believe that we are the Jingzhou army who came to support him!"

Deceiving Liu Bei is different from deceiving Wenpin.

Liu Beijun has been defeated before, and being a deserter can easily convince Wenpin to believe in him.

But the army from Jingzhou must have come prepared. If there are no documents and tiger charms, it may be difficult to gain Liu Bei's trust.

Therefore, it is better to deceive Liu Bei subtly!

Cao Jun was divided into three groups again.

All the cavalry were handed over to Xiahou Dun. He was in charge of staying in the south of Xinye to observe the situation in Xiangyang and prevent Wenpin from killing a carbine.

Yu Jin played in his true colors and led the troops directly to encircle Xinye.

Of course, He Yan and Lu Meng played the part of the civil servants, and stopped the garrison after a certain distance from Xinye, so that Liu Bei could not clearly observe the reality of the army.

Liu Bei, who fled back to Xinye, was always like a frightened bird. He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that there were Jingzhou troops coming from the south.

But when Liu Bei boarded the city wall of Xinye County, his heart hung up again.

"Why is Wenpin's army unwilling to immediately relieve the siege of Xinye, but stationed far away?"

Liu Bei sent scouts to inquire, but the reply he got made Liu Bei very dissatisfied.

"Wenpin actually said that Cao's army is strong and dare not approach?"

The Jingzhou troops who came to help were very timid, hanging on the periphery so far away, unwilling to get close to Xinye, which made Liu Bei's violent temper come up again.

"The soldiers of Jingzhou are all cowards!"

Liu Bei is far away, but it can also be seen that the size of the Jingzhou army is about [-].

The Jingzhou army dared not fight Cao Jun with the same ten thousand troops. Isn't this cowardice?
However, although Liu Bei scolded, the army was not under his control, and he could only let the Xinye, Cao Jun, and Jingzhou troops wrestle with each other.

After waiting for three days, Liu Bei finally received an order from the Wenpin Army outside when he saw that Cao Jun was about to move and seemed to be about to launch a general offensive.

"Cao's army is powerful, Wenpin specially invited Liu Yuzhou to attack Cao's camp tonight!"

Liu Bei was besieged for a few days, and his mood became more and more restless every day. Seeing that "Wenpin" invited him to attack Cao Ying, he agreed without saying a word.

That night, Liu Bei gathered in front of the east gate with Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, and the remaining [-] soldiers in the city, waiting for the "Wen Pinjun" outside the city to give him a signal, and he was about to open the city gate and follow Wen. Hire to attack Cao Ying!

Ideas are beautiful.

the reality is cruel.

With the shouts of killing coming from outside, Liu Bei immediately ordered to open the Xinye City Gate.

But it is a pity that after opening the city gate, Wen Pinjun, who was still "fighting" with Cao Jun just now, immediately turned his guns and rushed towards Xinye City.

Liu Bei had imagined that he and the Wenpin army could work together to wipe out the Cao army outside Xinye City, but now he was shuddering all over.

The drums were beating, and Yu Jin and Lu Meng outside the city led their troops into the city.

Yu Jin saw Liu Bei who was the most conspicuous in the crowd at a glance. He patted his horse and rushed towards Liu Bei with killing intent in his eyes.

Lu Meng, who entered Xinye City together with Yu Jin, was not too excited.

After Lu Meng and a few cavalry broke through the defense line formed by Liu Bei's soldiers, they immediately threw off a group of enemy soldiers and rushed towards the Xinye County Government.

"He Xiaowei has an order! Capture an old white face and Liu Bei's wife and daughter alive! Everyone pay close attention to me!"

"Here!"

Some cavalry heard this and felt something was wrong: "Lu Sima, I can understand the capture of Liu Bei's wife and daughter, but why capture that old white face alive?"

Lu Meng glared at the other party: "You should ask about Lieutenant He?"

The cavalry quickly kept silent, not daring to ask any more questions.

It wasn't until they successfully broke into the Xinye County Government that they were all dumbfounded: "Hiss!!!"

"Liu Bei...how come there are so many old faces?"
