My Ji Han Dynasty was prosperous in martial arts, but I have always convinced people with virtue

Chapter 90 Ambush
Nanyang, Shuying.

Wei Jun moved.

However, judging from the intelligence obtained from the front line, Wei Jun's movements are very strange.

Fifty thousand Wei troops besieged Wancheng, and the remaining troops controlled the passages leading to Xuchang and Luoyang.

Liu Bei had already seen that Wei Jun wanted to encircle and fight for aid.

So he ignored it, and just built a camp nearby to ensure his own food supply.

But not long ago, Wei Jun changed his deployment and began to attack.

General Xu Huang led an army of [-] to attack Xinye and intercept the grain ships from Xiangyang to Liu Bei's camp.

On the other hand, Xiahou Dun led his army to attack the northern camp of the Shu army, intending to cut off the grain road in Guanzhong.

But this move has its own problems.

The Wei army is divided!
On the side battlefield, the strength of the Wei army was at a disadvantage.

What's more, the main force brought by Lao Liu has not moved yet.

"Wei Jun is so confident, there is only one possibility, the Cao thief is here!"

In the tent, Fazheng made his own judgment.

"Cao Bandit set up troops in the three capitals. Now Luoyang and Yecheng's armies have moved, but Xuchang's soldiers and horses have not seen any movement. At Tongguan, Cao Ren is the commander. Cao Bandit is likely to go to Xuchang in person to raise some troops. Horse, kill to Nanyang."

After Fazheng finished speaking, all the generals discussed in the camp.

Just in time, Huang Quan came out.As a former subject of Liu Zhang, he followed Liu Bei after Liu Zhang surrendered, and has always been relied on by Liu Bei.

"There are [-] elite soldiers in Xuchang, and now they are coming towards us. Our army is not strong enough. Why don't we call in soldiers from Bashu for reinforcements."

Fazheng shook his head.

"Xu Huang is stuck in Xinye, fighting fiercely with General Guan. It will take at least a month for Bashu's soldiers to come here. According to the time calculation, the Cao thief will arrive outside Wancheng within five days at the latest."

In the camp, there were many discussions.

But in the end, there is no optimal solution that can solve the immediate situation.

Liu Bei seems to have anticipated the current situation and thought of a way to break the situation.

"On Xu Huang's side, there is a long cloud, so it's not a big harm. Zilong is guarding the northern camp. Even if Xiahoudun uses his best, it's not easy to take it down. Cao thief wants to break my food path, so I will take the first step. The siege of the city. Once the siege of Wancheng is resolved, Le Jin and Xu Huang will definitely not be able to hold on for long. At that time, no matter how many Cao bandits have troops, they will have no way to deal with us."

After Liu Bei finished speaking, Huang Zhong came out to ask for a fight.

"The veteran is willing to lead [-] Yu Lin as the vanguard to kill Xiahou Dun."

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were absent, but Huang Zhong was the highest-ranking officer in the camp.

But Liu Bei did not agree to Huang Zhong's request, said.

"Lead the army alone and break the siege of Wancheng."

As soon as Liu Bei said this, it was not Huang Zhong who objected first, but Huang Quan.

"Your Majesty, the honor of a thousand chariots, don't risk yourself."

"At this moment of life and death, the whole army should work together, regardless of superiority or inferiority."

Liu Bei made up his mind and immediately issued an order.

After that, Huang Quan, Li Yan and others were left behind and ordered.

The next night, Liu Bei's best troops went out to attack the Wei army's camp.

Wancheng is an important town in Nanyang, a big city comparable to Chang'an and Luoyang.

In troubled times, the metropolis of the past has long lost its former glory.

Cao Jun built defenses layer by layer outside Wancheng, and dug tunnels to connect with each other.

Liu Bei asked Huang Zhong to lead [-] Yulin, and attack Cao Jun from inside and outside in the direction agreed with Guan Ping.

He led the main force to attack Xiahou Dun's camp.

Huang Zhong took the lead in attacking, and most of Cao's army was attracted by the night fire, and they moved towards Huang Zhong's main attack direction.

Liu Bei waited outside, seeing that the time was almost up, he also gave the order to attack.

The position of Xiahou Dun's main battalion is well-defended.Xiahou Dun dug corridors and trenches nearby, which were densely packed and the situation was very complicated.

Even though scouts had been dispatched to investigate in the early stage, something went wrong during the actual operation.

Liu Bei led the army halfway, and was discovered by Cao Jun's scouts.

The war is about to start.

Holding the male and female double-strand swords in his hand, Liu Bei took the lead in sending out a shock wave, which scattered the Wei army coming from all directions.

"Generals, enter Cao Ying with me and capture and kill Xiahou Dun!"

Liu Bei yelled out this voice, and a group of soldiers behind him took orders and rushed into Cao Ying with Liu Bei.

Liu Bei led his men to charge for half an hour, and finally arrived at Xiahou Dun's main camp.

But the strange thing is that there is not a single soldier in Xiahou Dun's main battalion.

Compared with the sound of fighting outside, this place is as quiet as a paradise.

In the main tent of the big camp, there were faint lights.

Liu Bei felt it was weird, he closed his swords together, and a half-moon wave headed towards the main camp.

There was only a buzzing sound, as if a big bell was being struck, and the tent was instantly torn apart.

On the high platform, the lights are still on.

There was only one person, sitting in Xiahou Dun's seat, drinking.

Liu Bei's half-moon wave was blocked by the man's guard and disappeared invisible.

"Brother Xuande, I haven't seen you for many years, are you okay?
Cao Cao drank a glass of wine and smiled.

Xu Chu retreated to the side, averting his vision.

In the place of life and death, Cao Cao sat alone on a high platform and drank alone, as if he didn't realize it.

Liu Bei held the sword in both hands, his body was stained with blood, his hair was messy, and he looked very embarrassed.

"Cao Mengde, you've arrived!"

At this time, around the main camp, the originally intact land began to collapse, and soldiers and horses rushed out of the collapsed holes.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei in the distance, stroked his beard, and laughed loudly.

"I've been here for a long time. Not only am I here, but my [-] tiger guards are also here."

Seeing this, Liu Bei felt bad.

"Cao Mengde, how did you do it?"

"Brother Xuande, did you forget that I have an elite army under my command, who are best at digging graves? Digging tunnels secretly and ambushing soldiers here is their specialty."

In Liu Bei's heart, it was clear at this time, and he didn't feel like saying.

"Touch Captain Jin!"

When Liu Bei was talking to Cao Cao just now, he was also observing the surrounding terrain and found the direction of escape, so he stopped talking nonsense and rushed over with his people.

"My lord, Liu Bei wants to run!"

Xu Chu reminded Cao Cao.

"Running really fast!"

Cao Cao stood up, looked at it from a distance, and did not forget to complain.

"After so many years, this big-eared thief is still the same, and he can get in just by giving it a crack."

Liu Bei's escape technique can be called an art. After so many years of fighting in the South and the North, many heroes have died, but he is still alive and well.

There was only a slight gap in the encirclement set up by Cao Cao, but Liu Bei noticed it and seized the opportunity, leading his troops to rush out.

Cao Cao felt a pity that Liu Bei was not surrounded.However, he was not obsessed with this, but considered the overall situation.

"Let Le Jin keep a close eye on Zhao Yun, and then add more troops to Xu Huang, so that he will hold Guan Yu down no matter what. Within ten days, I will definitely capture the big-eared thief."

Cao Cao looked in the direction of Guanzhong.

"This time, no matter what, we must defeat Liu Bei and take back Guanzhong."
