Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 182 Tune the tiger away from the mountain, Guan Yu calculates Yuan Shu

Chen Dao was born in the Chen family, a wealthy family in Runan. He has practiced literature and martial arts since childhood. The Chen family is also a family attached to the Yuan family in Runan.

When Yuan Shu conscripted troops in Runan, Chen Dao led his private soldiers to follow him.

Chen Dao was naturally happy to go to Runan as a post general, Nanyang prefect, and the direct son of the Yuan family in Runan.

however.

After joining Yuan Shu's command, Chen Dao discovered that this son of the Yuan family in Runan was different from what he had imagined.

Arrogant by nature, respect oneself and others.

He neither sympathized with the scholars and the common people, but reused bandits and bandits wantonly.

Liu Xiang of Kuangting was originally a commander of the Yellow Turban in Runan, and was appointed as a general by Yuan Shu because he had thousands of soldiers and horses.

Although Chen Dao is capable, there are only more than a hundred private soldiers, and he is only appointed as a lieutenant general.

The main general also has a yellow scarf Qu Shuai who is not very capable and has a good temper.

Just like this, it also has the credit of the Chen family in Runan who once attached to the Yuan family in Runan, otherwise only Chen Dao, who has more than a hundred private soldiers, can be a Dubo at most.

Yuan Shufeng was very straightforward.

Whoever has more soldiers will have a higher official position.

If there are many soldiers and you can fight like Sun Jian, you can be the governor!
But on the other hand, like Chen Dao, those who can fight but have few soldiers are only a general if they are invincible.

Seeing Guan Yu's sincere invitation, Chen Dao no longer hesitated, knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said: "Chen Dao, I would like to follow the general!"

"Haha!" Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard, and stepped forward to help Chen Dao up: "It's Guan's luck to have Uncle Zhi's help!"

Chen Deng, Zhang Hong, Tai Shici and others also stepped forward to congratulate.

Even Zhang Fei, who scolded Chen Dao just now, stepped forward and said with a smile: "I just joked, General Chen, don't take it to heart."

Chen Dao returned the salute one by one, and said to Zhang Fei: "General Zhang is serious, I was indeed too arrogant just now."

Seeing that Zhang Wenwu was enjoying themselves happily, Chen Dao recalled that when Liu Xiang was under his command, he was slandered because the military law was a bit strict, and he felt even more emotional.

"The general is so magnanimous, and the rumored Mr. Xuande, who is benevolent and virtuous throughout the world, must also be a real hero." Chen Dao couldn't help yearning for it.

In the battle of Kuangting, whether it was Guan Yu, Zhang Hong, Chen Gong and others, they all had a new understanding of Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses.

At the beginning, he was afraid of Yuan Shu because he mistakenly thought that most of Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses would meet Sun Jian's standard.

Therefore, all the arrangements are based on the method of dealing with Sun Jian.

But now, Guan Yu had to re-examine Yuan Shu.

"Guan has a plan, please refer to it." Guan Yu paced to the front of the map: "We took Kuangting, although a small number of remnants escaped, but these remnants did not know the reality of our army."

"Guan deliberately sent people to Fengqiu City pretending to be Liu Xiang's cronies, falsely claiming that Kuangting was attacked by Cao Cao, governor of Dongjun, Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou, Yuan Yi, governor of Shanyang County, and Yuan Xu, governor of Jiyin County, and was in urgent need of rescue. Send troops to rescue."

"There is a report from the remnants of the escaped soldiers, I guess Yuan Shu will not have any doubts."

"And we set up a false flag at Kuangting, taking advantage of Yuan Shu's drive out of the city, to counterattack Fengqiu City!"

Chen Deng looked at Chen Dao: "General Guan wants to use the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, but Yuan Shu may not be fooled, and he needs a wise and brave person to go."

Chen Dao hesitated for a moment, then put his fists together and came out: "General Guan, let me go, I am the deputy general of the army, Yuan Shu will definitely not be suspicious."

Guan Yu shook his head: "Impossible! Yuan Shu's employment is unknown, and it's understandable for my uncle to abandon the dark and turn to the bright. But if you want to deceive Yuan Shu because of this, you will be suspected of treason and ungratefulness."

"How could Guan let you do such an unrighteous thing!"

Chen Dao was even more moved.

The hesitation just now was because Chen Dao felt that it was inappropriate to deceive Yuan Shu at this time.

Yuan Shu can know people without knowing them, but Chen Dao cannot be ungrateful.

Chen Dengdao: "But if there is no General Chen, how can we convince Yuan Shu?"

Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled, "Mr. Yuan Long, Guan thinks that Yuan Shu won't believe him if he asks Uncle Zhi to go to Fengqiu City."

"Even if there is a chance to escape, Liu Xiang should be the first to escape."

"But Liu Xiang is greedy for life and afraid of death. If he is allowed to go to Fengqiu City, he will never return."

"Only by pretending to be Liu Xiang's cronies, can Yuan Shu not be suspicious."

Zhang Hong thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, let's make the information more real."

"Send someone to tell Yuan Shu: Cao Cao, Liu Dai, Yuan Yi, and Yuan Xu used the signal of flying lanterns to surprise the Kuangting camp."

"And General Chen, who was watching the night, sensed the danger in advance, and wanted Liu Xiang to send people from the scout battalion four doors out of the camp for [-] miles to scout, but Liu Xiang refused to listen, so General Chen had no choice but to follow his plan and call more than a hundred warriors from his headquarters to strengthen his guard. .”

"It's a pity that General Chen has too few troops to resist."

"Liu Xiang wanted to escape, but General Chen tied Liu Xiang in a fit of anger, and then organized a rout of troops to resist tenaciously in Kuangting."

"Liu Xiang was worried that he would die in Kuangting, so he sent his cronies to Fengqiu City for help."

"In this way, we can match Liu Xiang and General Chen's impression in Yuan Shu's mind."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and praised, "Just follow Mr. Zigang's words."

Immediately.

Guan Yu summoned a dead man, gave him speech skills, and asked him to pretend to be Liu Xiang's personal guard Huo Zhao and go to Fengqiu City.

Huo Zhao was ordered to come to Fengqiu City, and saw Yuan Shu who was angry.

After Kuangting's remnant soldiers fled back to Fengqiu City, they awakened Yuan Shu from his sleep.

After sleeping soundly, suddenly bad news came, those few remnant soldiers were forked out by the warriors ordered by Yuan Shu immediately.

He didn't even know who the enemy was, how could Yuan Shu be willing to spare these few remnants who reported the letter?

Hearing that the soldier in front of him was Liu Xiang's confidant, Yuan Shu became even more angry: "Are you also a deserter? Fork out, behead!"

Huo Zhao exclaimed, "Don't be angry, Mr. Yuan! This villain is Huo Zhao, General Liu's personal guard. He came here to ask for help under General Liu's order."

"Ask for help?" Yuan Shu frowned suddenly: "The Kuangting camp has been breached, how dare that idiot Liu Xiang come to ask for help?"

Huo Zhao quickly explained: "Originally it was breached, but Deputy General Chen tied up General Liu who wanted to escape, and organized the rest of the soldiers to resist. General Liu said that he would die well, so he asked the villain to come and seal it quickly. Qiucheng asks for help."

Yuan Shu's face turned dark immediately.

A well-deserved death?

Obviously afraid of death!

Han Yin on the side said: "Duke Ming, Liu Xiang's deputy general, Chen Dao, is a son of the Chen family from a powerful family in Runan. He is brave and good at fighting. There are also more than a hundred warriors under his command. It should be true."

Yuan Shu snorted coldly, and stared at Huo Zhao firmly: "You think you can deceive this general? This general has already told Liu Xiang and Chen Dao to beware of Cao A's going south."

"Liu Xiang doesn't understand, how can Chen Dao understand?"

"It's clear that you are here to deceive this general!"

"Who sent you here?"

Huo Zhao knocked his head on the ground, sweating profusely: "Grand Yuan, spare your life! The villain is telling the truth! It's not that Vice General Chen refuses to take strict precautions, but that the generals in the army are dissatisfied with Vice General Chen's strict laws. General Liu was furious, Just, just, let Vice General Chen not meddle in his own business."

"Vice General Chen had no choice but to lead his troops and horses to patrol the night. At night, he saw a strange phenomenon of lanterns flying in the sky, so Vice General Chen concluded that this was a signal from the enemy army."

"Vice General Chen originally wanted people from the scout battalion to go out for thirty miles to watch, but the captain of the scout battalion only listened to General Liu."

"When Deputy General Chen went to ask for instructions, he was reprimanded by General Liu."

Trembling, Huo Zhao stated that nine points were true and one point was false.

"Nonsense, lanterns are flying, are you talking in your sleep?" Yuan Shu's general Zhang Xun scolded.

Huo Zhao was full of grievances: "General, it's really a lantern flying into the sky! Otherwise, Vice General Chen would not assert that it was a signal from the enemy. Vice General Chen said: Military warfare is dangerous. Even if there is a slight doubt, one should be careful and guard against it. Don't be negligent. .”

Yuan Shu's face was gloomy, and he couldn't see his emotions clearly.

After a long time, Yuan Shu finally opened his mouth: "Who is robbing the camp?"

Huo Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Listen to the shouts of killing, there are the governor of Dongjun County and the governor of Jiyin County. The villain didn't hear the other two routes clearly, but when the villain was escaping from the camp, he heard a Self-proclaimed 'Cao Hong'."

"Cao Hong!" Yuan Shu got up suddenly: "Cao A lied to that guy, he really went south! It seems that Bai Rao has suffered a big loss in Dongjun, God is really helping me!"

Yuan Shu laughed loudly: "Immediately pass on the order of the general, leaving 5000 men to defend the city, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will follow the general. I will take Yanzhou in a battle!"

Yang Hongda was taken aback, and quickly advised: "Duke Yuan can't do it! Now that the enemy's situation is not yet clear, how can we just listen to the one-sided words of this little pawn?"

"This person is not a brave general under Liu Xiang's command, so how could he escape?"

"Even if you want to save them, it's enough to send a general to save them."

"Mr. Yuan, please think twice!"

At this time, Yuan Shu's son-in-law Huang Yi suddenly said, "Yang Changshi, besides Chen Dao, are there any other brave generals under Liu Xiang's command?"

"Yue Zhang's army is all out, even if this little pawn is telling lies, he can fight back when he encounters an ambush."

"But what if we only send a general to go, and we happen to be ambushed by Cao Cao and others?"

"Few soldiers are useless, don't you understand the truth?"

Yang Hong said anxiously: "What if it's a trick of the bandits to divert the tiger away from the mountain? When Yuan Gong's army leaves the city, the enemy army will attack the city. Wouldn't it be a trick of the enemy?"

Huang Yi smiled even more happily: "Yang Changshi, if you say you don't know how to fight, you still have to fight against me. Fengqiu City has 5000 people left. With the convenience of the city, one can be used as ten. The enemy army does not have 5 people. Don't even think about taking down Fengqiu City!"

"The art of war is dead, but people are alive. When marching and fighting, who would really fight according to the art of war?"

Yuan Shu waved his hand to stop the argument: "Don't be suspicious! Huang Yi, you stay and defend the city with Chang Shi. The rest of the generals should return to the camp immediately to rectify their troops."

Huang Yi's tone suddenly became urgent: "Yue Zhang, can someone else guard the city?"

Yuan Shu shouted: "You are my son-in-law. If you don't defend the city, how can you stabilize the morale of the army? What's more, with the convenience of the city, one can count as ten, so you won't be afraid of surprise attacks."

Huang Yi's expression suddenly turned bitter.

I shouldn't show off in front of my father-in-law, how can I get credit for defending the city!

Yuan Shu ignored Huang Yi.

After staying in Fengqiu City for so long, I finally succeeded in luring the snake out of the cave. If I don't go to Kuangting to take Cao Cao and others to the same pot, when will I wait?

Fifty thousand soldiers and horses took advantage of the cool morning breeze, running happily like wolves out of their cages.

For Yuan Shujun, going out means that he can loot!
As soon as Yuan Shu's army came out, scouts had already passed the information to Guan Yu's ears.

"Fifty thousand troops march out of the city in a hurry, Yuan Shu is planning to leave us all in Kuangting!" Guan Yu couldn't help but smiled, "Bring Liu Xiang up here!"

The disheveled Liu Xiang came to Guan Yu tremblingly, and the flattering eyes he switched at that moment made Guan Yu disgusted.

But thinking of using Liu Xiang to lure the enemy, Guan Yu resisted the urge to kill Liu Xiang, and said in a condensed voice: "Liu Xiang, I will give you a task. If you can complete it, not only will you not die, but you will be able to die in the future." I recommend you to my elder brother."

Liu Xiang was overjoyed, this survival was better than anything else: "Please tell me, General, the villain will definitely do his best!"

Guan Yu sneered secretly: "I am going to ambush Yuan Shu in the valley [-] miles east of Kuangting, and I need you to stay in the camp of Kuangting to resist Yuan Shu for three days. Can you do it?"

Liu Xiang rolled his eyes and asked tentatively, "General, are Yuan and Yuan Shu really coming?"

Guan Yu snorted coldly, "Yuan Shu, are you afraid of raising fifty thousand troops to attack Kuangting?"

Liu Xiang was overjoyed in his heart, but on the surface he swore like an oath: "How can you be afraid of being able to serve the general? It's only a [-] army, and I'm afraid the villain won't be able to defend it for three days."

Guan Yu pretended to be angry and said: "If you can't hold it for three days, what use will you have?"

Liu Xiang was so frightened that he quickly knelt down: "General, spare your life! You can hold it! You can hold it!"

Guan Yu said coldly: "If I could capture you once, I could capture you twice! If you hold it for three days, you will be innocent; if you can't hold it, the military law will not allow it!"

"After three days of defense, you will withdraw your troops and lead Yuan Shu's troops to the valley. When you kill Yuan Shu, I will mark your merit!"

Under Guan Yu's kindness, Liu Xiang didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and agreed with all his heart.

But in his heart, Liu Xiang sneered: "I, Liu Xiang, really think I'm an idiot! Three more days? I only have [-] troops, how can I last three days?"

"If Duke Yuan comes, I will surrender directly, and then offer advice to Duke Yuan, pretending to guard for three days, and then lead Yuan Gong's troops into the valley."

"When your ambush comes out, I will attack Yuan Gong back and forth, hehe, I, Liu Xiang, are still top performers!"

At this time.

Chen Dao came out and said, "General Guan, the last general is willing to guard the Kuangting camp with General Liu."

Before Guan Yu agreed, Liu Xiang hurriedly said, "No way! General Guan, if we are all in the Kuangting camp, we might turn against Yuan Shu when Yuan Shu comes."

"Let Vice General Chen follow General Guan to show that we have no intention of rebelling."

Chen Dao looked at Liu Xiang with a hint of sarcasm.

On the other hand, Zhang Fei couldn't hold back anymore.

This Liu Xiang really knows how to make excuses!

But Guan Yu was not prepared to say more. After giving Liu Xiang the military order, he withdrew his troops from the Kuangting camp, deliberately walked east for a while, and then walked around the south at night, and then turned to Fengqiu City.

Liu Xiang's Kuangting camp was lost and recovered, and his heart was filled with resentment.

"Guan Yu's traitor, if you don't avenge this revenge, I, Liu Xiang, swear not to be a human being!"

"Humph!"

After finding out that Guan Yu was going east, Liu Xiang immediately sent his cronies to deliver the letter on the road that Yuan Shu must pass.

Yuan Shu, who was on the way, was surprised when he learned that it was not Cao Cao or Liu Dai who attacked Kuangting, but Guan Yu from Chen Guo. He was shocked: "Why is Guan Yu in Kuangting?"

　The second is still at night.

　　I adjusted and tried to restore the third shift.

　　Ask for a monthly ticket, can I draw a prize?
