Chapter 105 Unexpected Surprise

"Lü Bu suffered a disastrous defeat in Donglinkou because of me. More than half of the 7000 men were lost, and even his Bingzhou cavalry took in a lot. He has never been defeated in the past year, but this time he lost so disastrously."

Ankou County Chengguan, on the horse path, Liu Bei supported the city wall, frowning.

During the daytime yesterday, Cao Cao brought an army of more than ten thousand people to press down on the border, and the whole army was in fear.

Fortunately, Cao Cao just walked around the city and did not attack the city. He seemed to want to check the city defense of Ankou County and choose a suitable place to attack.

A tense atmosphere permeated around Ankou County, but finally, Cao Cao retreated at dusk.

This made Liu Bei very puzzled. If it was just to check the city defense, it would be enough to bring a team of cavalry. How could he bring a large army without even yelling, just admiring his own city defense, and then left?

This is not like Cao Cao's usual style of using troops.

It wasn't until the evening that I received the report from the scouts that I learned that Lu Bu led troops to rescue him after learning that he was besieged. In the end, he was hit by Cao Cao's plan to encircle the city and rescue him, and it was a double siege.

This battle suffered heavy casualties.

For a while, Liu Bei felt guilty and grateful for Lu Bu, but the hatred of seizing the city in the past was gone.

"These slaves of the three surnames have done something that can be seen by others, and they know to come to rescue the eldest brother, but they are a bit stupid. How could they be ambushed?"

Zhang Fei said carelessly, and then thought of Lin Mo, and continued to complain: "Isn't his son-in-law a genius of the world? Why didn't he help Lu Bu solve his plan?"

Liu Bei may not remember the incident of Lu Bu's sneak attack in his heart, but Zhang Fei does remember it clearly, and he has a family slave with three surnames.

"Cao Cao is full of tricks and has a deep understanding of the art of war. It is not surprising that he has followed his way." Guan Yu stroked his long beard with emotion.

Liu Bei just sighed heavily, he found that his two younger brothers didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem.

Lu Bu came to rescue him, he is seriously injured now, and he may be too busy to take care of himself.

In other words, if Cao Cao really attacked the city next time, Lu Bu might not be able to come to rescue him, but he dared to come to rescue him.

And my own troops, military supply and logistics, etc., are all crushed by the opponent, how can I stop the onslaught of this tiger and wolf team.

Jumping out of the current three-legged confrontation in Anfeng County, Liu Bei is really willing to see Lu Bu folded for a while. The person who used to be kept under his fence has suddenly become the hero of the two states. In other words, it was not a small blow.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, he really doesn't want Lu Bu to lose.

In addition to the possibility that Lu Bu might not be able to send troops to rescue, Liu Bei was more worried about the fact that the other party not only failed to send troops, but even directly withdrew to Jiujiang.

One must know that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had already used up all the food and grass that they had obtained from flattening the cottage, and now the food, grass and military equipment in the city were all sent by Lu Bu.

Once he left, he was not only isolated and helpless, but also without food and logistics.
Thinking about this point, Liu Bei even had a thought of crossing the river and going to Wu Ju.

Of course, the thought was only fleeting.

Now the three parties are in a stalemate, and he is Cao Cao's target. Once he leaves Ankou County, the opponent's cavalry will immediately charge up.

Liu Bei slowly raised his head and looked at the sky, his eyes were full of confusion, as if hoping to get guidance from the sky.

Just at this time, Jian Yong ran over, holding a bamboo slip in his hand, "My lord, my lord, Lu Bu sent a letter quickly."

Hearing this, Liu Bei took the bamboo slip from Jian Yong's hand and quickly opened it.

He hoped that this letter was the same as the letter he received a few days ago, and it was Lin Mo's ingenious plan again, so that he could defeat Cao Cao again.

If the fire in Anfeng County can be staged again, it will be impossible for Cao Cao to gather forces to attack the city again.

"Brother, what's the idea of ​​the kid surnamed Lin?" Seeing Liu Bei's furrowed brows slowly relax, his eyes became more and more suspicious, even Zhang Fei couldn't help asking curiously.

"Yes, yes."

Liu Bei nodded, then shook his head suddenly, "I just don't know what he wants to do, so why don't we learn from Cao Cao to fight for aid?"

Looking at Guan Yu's expectant eyes, Liu Bei simply handed over the bamboo slips.

After the latter read it, he was not as suspicious as Liu Bei, but his eyes lit up, he squinted his eyes and snorted in a nasal voice, and said with a smile:

"This kid has some skills. He uses food and grass to attract Cao Cao, and the food and grass are related to the life and death of our army. Cao Cao will definitely come to rob the food, and then he will ambush the good people in advance to sneak attack, which is considered some means."

Zhang Fei, who stretched his neck at the side, snorted, and said with disdain: "Second brother, this kid's strategy this time is a bit too frivolous. The surrounding area is mostly plains. Except for Donglinkou, it is impossible to ambush soldiers in other places." Ambush thousands of people without being discovered.

If I were Cao Cao, I wouldn't go to Donglinkou to rob even if I robbed food. "

Zhang Fei's words were rough and unreasonable, even Liu Bei nodded in agreement and said, "It's really not a smart way."

There is another sentence that he didn't say out of his mouth. Could it be that there is a mystery hidden in it that we can't see through.

"What do you think, big brother?" Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei.

"After all, this is Lu Bu's personal letter. Besides, we don't need to send troops or food. It's just a few letters."

Liu Bei hesitated for a while, and said with a bit of distress: "It's just a pity to take the lives of several scouts."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Guan Yu, "Just do as he said, Yun Chang, you go and select five people yourself, and after I write the letter, they will take them to Lu Ying in batches."

"This matter is easy to handle." Guan Yu nodded, then turned and went down the Chengguan.

Liu Bei exhaled a foul breath, and immediately looked at the direction of Cao Ying in a daze.

This kind of method may work normally, but people just came to surround the spot to fight for aid, and you have to follow suit, so you can't even fool the yellow-mouthed children.

Even though he thought so in his heart, Liu Bei still hoped that Lin Mo would succeed.

Only if he succeeded, would he have a chance to survive.

On the Cao Ying side, the troops are preparing their troops for war, and when they are ready to send troops again, they must go all out to conquer Ankou County, kill Liu Bei, and tell the world that betraying the imperial court is the only way to die.

Le Jin, who was originally practicing in the camp, hurried to the camp of the Chinese army.

"Wen Qian, what's going on here?" Seeing Le Jin with a strange expression, Cao Cao couldn't help asking.

"Sikong, a strange thing happened in the camp."

Without waiting for Cao Cao to ask questions, Le Jin directly took a horseshoe and put it on the handsome table, "This piece of iron was taken from the horseshoe of a war horse."

Cao Cao picked up the dirt-covered horseshoe and looked back and forth, frowning: "This shape seems to correspond to a horseshoe. Could it be that it is specially used to deal with war horses?"

"At first, General Mo also thought that it was a trap made by barbed caltrops to target war horses, but after checking, it was discovered that all the Lu army's war horses captured from Donglinkou were nailed with this thing, obviously it was done on purpose."

Hearing this, Cao Cao's pupils suddenly converged. Are all the horses equipped? "Lead me to have a look."

This is really a strange thing.

After arriving at Yuejin's camp, the soldiers had already driven all the horses of Lu Jun to one place, and lifted up the fixed hooves of the horses so that Cao Cao could see them clearly.

After seeing more than twenty horses in a row, all of them were nailed with horseshoes, Cao Cao believed what Le Jin said, and it was really intentional.

"What's the use of these iron objects? Wouldn't the horse look clumsy if nailed to them?" Cao Cao muttered to himself as he looked at the horseshoe in his hand again.

Le Jin who was on the side explained: "Otherwise, Sikong, just now General Cai Mo personally tried riding these war horses, and they are no different from ordinary war horses."

Cao Cao glanced at him, and it was impossible to say that it was the same. Lu Bu was not full of food, and if it was useless, why would he nail these iron utensils? He needed money.

It should be useful, but I don't quite understand its purpose yet.

"This object must have been made by Lin Yunwen."

First, the Quyuanli, the keel waterwheel, and even the Thunderbolt chariot invented by Liu Ye were all considered by Cao Cao to be designed because of Lin Mo's help.

It is not surprising that such a geek invents a piece of iron that he does not know the function of.

But instinctively, Cao Cao felt that this piece of iron was very useful, otherwise Lu Bu would not have spared no effort to install it on all the war horses.

"Lin Yunwen is really a genius in the world."

Cao Cao didn't hesitate to praise Lin Mo at all, and he didn't even hide his love for him in his eyes.

Even if he lost to Guo Jia, it didn't lower his status by half.

After all, that was Guo Jia. In Cao Cao's mind, he was No. 1 in the art of war. If he lost to him, it would be no shame.

Moreover, in addition to Lin Mo's superior strategy, he also knows so many ingenious skills. It is not surprising that Cao Cao, who loves talents, falls in love with him.

The hate is on Zhang Wang, who failed to bring Lin Mo back to me.

"Sikong loves this man so much. After defeating Lu Bu, he will serve under his command." After Dong Linkou's victory, Le Jin was full of confidence.

Cao Cao chuckled and patted him on the shoulder, "That's right!"

Then he tossed the horseshoe in his hand and told Le Jin, "This matter must be kept secret. When we return to Xuchang, we will also build some for the horses to nail."

"Here!"

Although I don't know its specific purpose, but if Lu Bu used it, he had to use it himself.

Well, I'll figure it out slowly.

This is really a pleasant surprise.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Yu Jin ran over quickly, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, cupped his hands and said, "Sikong, the general took people to survey the terrain just now, and found a scout running out of Ankou County, so he let the quick After the horse overtook him, he shot him over, and found the letter from him."

Cao Cao took it immediately, and the content of the letter made his expression dignified.

After a while, he quickly closed the bamboo slips with a click, rolled his eyes, and felt that this was probably true.

Liu Bei fled on the spur of the moment. He had no rations, military supplies, or supplies. The reason why he was able to plan a fire and poison attack in An County was obviously Lu Bu's support behind him.

Therefore, it is reasonable and reasonable to ask the other party for food when the food is cut off.

"Communicate civil and military orders, and discuss soldiers in the account of the Chinese army!"

"Here!"
