Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 624: The Conspiracy

Le Jin waved his hands disapprovingly and said, "Why, you thought that Liu Bei's army would dare to go out to fight in the city, even if that boy Liu Bei dared not dare, don't want mother-in-law and mother, rush to Xinye tonight, catch Liu Bei by surprise."

Seeing Le Jin's decision, the deputy general persuaded: "General, it's better to send a team to investigate."

"Okay, you lead fifty soldiers to investigate, remember, return quickly if there is no situation, otherwise you will delay the military plane, and you will definitely be killed." Le Jin said.

The lieutenant hurriedly ordered the soldiers together and walked towards the valley.

Seeing Cao Jun's soldiers walk in, the soldiers in ambush said to Zhang Fei: "Third General, Cao Jun has come in, do you want to fight?"

Zhang Fei slapped the soldier beside him and scolded, "What do you know? You can't see that there are only a few dozen of these soldiers. They must have come to watch the situation. I ordered the brothers under him to hide them so that the soldiers of Cao Jun cannot find out." .”

"I didn't expect this military division to have two brushes, and he knew that Cao Jun was going from here." Zhang Fei muttered.

The lieutenant hurriedly withdrew after exploring the valley.

"How is it?" Le Jin asked.

"There are a lot of weeds in the valley, it's better not to go in." The lieutenant said.

"The general is asking if you have any enemy troops inside?" Le Jin said dissatisfied.

"The time is too short, we didn't investigate clearly," said the lieutenant general.

"Okay, let's order the army to move out. This general forgives Liu Bei for not having the guts to come." Le Jin said, his tone full of confidence.

"Third General, Cao Jun is really here this time." The soldier said softly

"You don't need to tell me, I'm watching." Zhang Fei slapped the soldier again.

For about a quarter of an hour, Cao Jun had completely entered the valley. Zhang Fei was about to order the soldiers to attack when he suddenly remembered the kit that Zhuge Liang asked him to carry before he left. After watching it carefully for a while, he said with a smile, "Good strategy."

At this time, Zhang Fei remembered why Zhuge Liang asked the soldiers to carry more rockets when the army was marching out. It turned out to be for this purpose.

With Zhang Fei's order, all the arrows in the archers' hands were replaced with rockets, and they shot at Cao Jun's soldiers below. The weeds in the mountains were touched by the rockets, and a fire immediately ignited.

Originally walking in the dark valley, the soldiers were a little flustered, but now they suddenly saw such a change, the formation was chaotic, the soldiers in front were eager to exit the valley, and the soldiers behind who didn't know why were still pushing forward. Pushing and shouting, without Zhang Fei's action, Cao Jun's soldiers have already begun to suffer casualties.

In front of the fire, Cao Jun's elite soldiers showed a side that they didn't usually show, and panicked. Le Jin's order could not be conveyed at all. The five thousand army had completely entered the valley at this time, and it was difficult to turn around.

Seeing the chaos of Cao Jun below, Zhang Fei laughed loudly and said, "Son Cao Cao, how dare you look down on our army, and let you all die here tonight."

The dense rain of arrows greeted Cao Jun one after another. When Le Jin finally escaped from the valley, there were only more than 2000 soldiers around him, and the sound of soldiers chasing and killing was faintly heard from behind. Withdrawing, there is no such thing as the high-spirited time when I first came.

Guan Yu was lying in ambush behind Le Jin, opened his eyes and watched Le Jin walk into the valley, and then heard the sound of fighting from the valley, knowing that it was time for him to play, he opened the kit given by Zhuge Liang, and after taking a look, he understood in his heart, yes Zhuge Liang's contempt was also reduced a lot. With this one hand alone, Zhuge Liang became the army's military adviser, but the arrogance in his heart made Guan Yu think that Zhuge Liang was a blind cat who met a dead mouse.

"Lead 1000 men and horses, beware of the arrival of Cao Jun's army from behind." Guan Yu ordered, and then led a thousand soldiers to kill Cao Jun. There were wolves in front and tigers in the back.

Originally, it was not many hours away from Le Jin. After Xiahou Dun heard the movement in front of him and the light of the fire, the secret passage was not good, so he hurriedly led the soldiers to help. Guan Yu resisted and killed for a while. Without too much entanglement, each strikes.

When Zhang Fei and Guan Yu returned to Xinye, they saw that Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others were already waiting outside the city gate, and the sky had just dawned.

Zhuge Liang stepped forward and said, "Congratulations to the two generals for winning the flag."

Zhang Fei said with a smile, "It's the military advisor's strategy. I, Lao Zhang, have accepted it. If anything happens in the future, as long as the military advisor gives an order, Lao Zhang will never frown."

Guan Yu stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Military Advisor."

Looking at Guan Yu's expression, Zhuge Liang knew that he still had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, and he didn't point it out. After helping Zhang Fei up, Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "It's all for the sake of the lord. Why don't we talk about thanking you? The city has already prepared drinks. General, hurry into the city."

"Could it be that the military adviser knows that we will win if we go?" Zhang Fei asked puzzled.

"Haha, when Cao Jun first arrived, he must have neglected to take precautions and rushed forward lightly. General Zhang and General Guan will definitely win if they go out together. My lord has said that both of them are among the ten thousand troops, and they are the ones who beheaded generals. " Zhuge Liang said.

Zhang Fei felt relieved when he heard this, and his previous resentment towards Zhuge Liang completely dissipated.

After hearing the loss reported by Le Jin, Xiahou Dun's face suddenly became gloomy. He and Le Jin bickered, but he couldn't tolerate Liu Bei being so rampant. He immediately ordered all the soldiers to go, but was persuaded by Le Jin. The previous 5000 troops were already left. More than 1000 people went down, and nearly 4000 people were lost before they approached Xinye. No one knew if there would be any ambushes ahead.

"Liu Bei, how dare you bully me like this." Xiahou Dun said angrily.

Le Jin said: "The humble position is entrusted by the lord, so I will go to the army to plead guilty, and hope that the general can win the battle and wash away the shame of the humble position."

Surprisingly, Xiahou Dun didn't take the opportunity to humiliate Le Jin, but comforted him instead.

The two bickered in the army, and they had a good friendship in private. The fight on the surface was actually to make the soldiers have a higher fighting spirit.

After hearing the news from Le Jin, Cao Cao saw the dejected Le Jin, and said dissatisfiedly: "Victory and defeat are common affairs in military strategists, so why worry about it, you will lead [-] soldiers and horses, and you must capture Xinye. "

"Thank you, my lord, if you don't take Xinye City down, I will come to see you in a lowly position." Le Jin clasped his fists with excitement in his heart.

"The head of Liu Bei's son will be taken by the general, and you should keep it to serve the army." Cao Cao laughed.

Le Jin led [-] soldiers and horses to help Xinye with great fighting spirit. When he came to Xinye, he saw only an empty city with traces of burning everywhere in the city. He ordered the city to be burned, but before his departure, the lord ordered him several times to strictly restrain the soldiers under him, and not to invade the people in the city, so as to avoid another fierce resistance in Xuzhou.

When he saw Xiahoudun, Le Jin was stunned. What kind of attire was he? His face was ashamed, even the soldiers around him were like this. A corner of the flag in the army was gone, and there were traces of fire on it.

"General, what's the matter?" Le Jin asked puzzled.

Xiahou Dun gritted his teeth and said, "Son Liu Bei, Zhuge Pifu, if you don't tear your corpses into pieces, this general will not stop."

It turned out that when Xiahou Dun led the army to Xinye, the people in the city had already withdrawn under Liu Bei's organization, leaving only an empty city. A big fire broke out and blocked Cao Jun's retreat. Although he barely stabilized his position, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu led people to charge for a while, causing countless casualties. In the end, this is what Le Jin looked like in the city after his arrival.

"Zhuge Pilgrim?" Le Jin was panicked. Even if he were himself, he might have walked into the city without hesitation. Even if it was an empty city, it was a credit to him. I didn't expect Liu Bei to be so vicious and set fire to the city.

"Zhuge Pifu is the counselor Liu Bei has just invited recently." Xiahou Dun said, Zhuge Liang's sneer before leaving, lingering in his ears, as if in his ears.

"This matter should be reported to the lord as soon as possible." Le Jin said.

Xiahou Dun showed a bitter look on his face. He didn't expect that Le went in to plead guilty, but in a blink of an eye it was replaced by himself. I don't know if Cao Cao will be angry.

"Zhuge Liang?" Cao Cao asked, "Does anyone know this person?"

"My lord, Zhuge Liang is better than Guan Zhongleyi, named Mr. Wolong, who lives in Jingzhou. Although he is young and has quite a statement, he has always lived at home and has not yet become an official. I heard that Liu Bei went three times to invite him out of the mountain." A counselor stepped forward and said.

"Zhuge Liang? He's just a villager. What about Guan Zhongleyi? It's a disgrace to the sages." Cao Cao snorted coldly.

The counselors did not dare to speak out and stood aside. Under Cao Cao's tent, there were countless counselors who dared to speak out against Cao Cao, and Xi Zhi was one of them. Xun You and Xun Yu were fine, but other counselors did not have the courage.

"My lord, Liu Bei looks like a hero. He should be eliminated early, otherwise he will become an obstacle to our army's attack on Jingzhou sooner or later." Xi Zhicai said.

Cao Cao nodded and said: "Well, the most important thing at present is to take down the land of Nanyang, and then send troops to Jiangling. Most of the money and food in the land of Jingzhou are hoarded in Jiangling. If Jiangling is taken down, it is equivalent to breaking Liu Biao's arm. , it will become easier to take down Jingzhou."

"My lord, there is a letter from an official in Yanzhou, saying that Yuan Shao wants to form an alliance with our army to jointly resist the Xiliang army." Xun Yu said.

"Alliance? It's just that Yuan Shao can't beat the Xiliang army." Cao Cao said disdainfully.

"My lord, if there is a loss in Jizhou, the Xiliang army will definitely send troops to the Central Plains, which is really bad for our army. We should send reinforcements."

Cao Cao waved his hands and said, "That's not necessary. There are 10,000+ strong soldiers in Jizhou. It's not that the Xiliang army can capture it overnight. By then, our army has already occupied the entire Jingzhou. It is imperative to fight the Xiliang army."

The second update is here, I hope everyone can support it.
