Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Although Wang Ping received the transfer order before Zhuge Qiao launched his troops in the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Qiao did not set a specific time for Wang Ping's arrival in Xiangyang.

Zhuge Qiao gave Wang Ping only one military order: reach Xiangyang City as quickly as possible while ensuring combat strength.

It is not only the deployment of troops, but also a test for Wang Ping, the second commander-in-chief of the Wudang Flying Army.

Coming quickly is not a skill, coming quickly and still being able to fight is a skill!

Wang Ping lived up to Zhuge Qiao's trust.

Wudang Feijun arrived three days earlier than Zhuge Qiao expected!
Therefore.

When Zhuge Qiao led his navy to Xiangyang City, Wang Ping was able to immediately call for battle and head to Xinye.

The arrival of the five flying armies greatly added to the combat power of the Jingzhou Northern Expeditionary Army.

In this Northern Expedition, Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang could only use 40,000 troops.

This suddenly increased the number of troops by one-eighth, and they were still elites like the Feijun who had fought fierce battles.

The same is true for Fu Xu, Zong Yu and Fu Kuang.

After getting the accurate information that Zhuge Qiao was coming to help, he did not follow Xu Huang's example and drove straight in to report the news to the fourth general Guan Xing.

The lethality of cold weapons is limited and far inferior to hot weapons where all living beings are equal.

How can he be a straw bag if he is the son of a general?

In last night's breakout, Guan Xing's command was actually not bad, but the opponent he encountered was Cao Ren, who had experienced hundreds of battles!
After all, Guan Xing was far behind Cao Ren in terms of experience. He never expected that Cao Ren would give up supporting Nanzhai so decisively and choose to intercept them on the way to Xiangyang in advance.

The reason why the Feijun is called Feijun is as the name suggests: it runs and attacks like flying.

This sense of frustration at the imminent defeat made the four generals angry and unwilling but helpless.

At this moment, the four generals all felt extremely helpless.

Although Xiahou Shang could not encircle Guan Yu, he could still use his numerical advantage to hold Guan Yu back.

Although the Han soldiers were brave, they were too few and the situation on the battlefield was gradually controlled by Cao Ren.

Guan Xing had been slashed countless times. If his armor hadn't been able to withstand most of the damage, Guan Xing would have died countless times.

At that time, Guan Xing did not need to consider whether to advance or retreat.

"Li Zhen, Le Wei, Shi Jing, Han Rong."

The addition of this new force will greatly increase the combat power of the Northern Expeditionary Army!

The fighting between Han and Wei was at its peak.

shore.

have to say.

Guan Yu was actually very nervous inside, fearing that Guan Xingsi would not be able to bear the pressure of life and death and lose his mind.

Guan Yu is quite ruthless in this regard.

If both sides show no signs of defeat, it will be difficult to cause large-scale destruction.

Cao Ren also felt a little regretful that Cao Tai and Cao Kai were not here.

"Your fathers are all great generals. Don't let your father's reputation be ruined."

Cao Ren raised his flag, and the four generals led their troops forward again.

Large-scale destruction on the frontal battlefield usually only occurs when one side is defeated.

Now as a general, what he should consider is not only his bravery, but also how to save the lives of his sergeants.

"A tiger father has no dog sons."

Simultaneously.

"Defeat this Han army within an hour!"

Du Zhen led a flying army behind to escort the grain and grass, while Wang Ping and Liu Yin led four flying troops to gallop ahead.

He knew that there were loopholes in the plan of the fourth general Guan Xing, but he only told the four generals the biggest loophole and not all the loopholes.

Guan Xing was very regretful.

This shouting is not because Le Wei wants to show off, but because Le Jin's reputation is great and can attract talented generals among the Han soldiers.

"It's a pity that my two sons are not here. If I could see Guan Yu's son being so tenacious, I would have some insights."

They are all the sons of tiger generals, who is willing to admit that they are weaker than others!
Especially Li Zhen and Le Wei, who were scared away by Fu Wei and Fu Kuang when they were in Dongzhai, now they want to regain their face.

"So tenacious!"

This makes Guan Xing's breakout plan only half successful!
Sadness, shame, regret, unwillingness, all kinds of emotions breed in Guan Xing's heart.

"I am the son of the right general Le Jin and the Marquis of Guangchang Ting, Le Wei. Who dares to fight to the death with me!" Le Wei shouted proudly as he rode his horse and led the troops.

In the past, when you were the first to die, you only had to follow Guan Yu's command and fight in battle.

Cao Ren's face was not as relaxed as it was at first, and he had a new evaluation of Guan Yu's son.

Guan Yu was the general of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Ren was the general of the Wei Dynasty.

As long as the four generals of Guan Xing do not collapse, Cao Ren cannot easily wipe out the more than 10,000 Han soldiers.

For a general, how can killing a small soldier be as effective as killing a general?
Le Wei also wanted to use this method to kill generals and capture the flag, so that he could defeat the Han soldiers in the shortest time!
"The son of Polu General Li Dian, the Marquis of Guannei Li Zhen is here!"

"The son of the central leader Shi Huan, the prince Shi Jing is here!"

"The son of Han Hao, the leader of the Central Army, Long Live Tinghou Han Rong is here!"

Li Zhen, Shi Jing, and Han Rong also rode their horses and led their troops, shouting wildly.

As soon as the four generals came out, the generals among the Han soldiers were really attracted.

Guan Xing, Fu Wei, Zong Yu and Fu Kuang each targeted one person and moved forward hard.

The four generals Li Zhen wanted to kill the generals and seize the flag to defeat the Han soldiers, and the four generals Guan Xing also wanted to kill the generals and capture the flag to defeat the Wei soldiers.

Cao Ren saw the formation of the Han soldiers beginning to become chaotic and couldn't help but sneer: "Although they are brave, that's the end of it."

"Guan Yu, your son has been defeated!"

When the four men of Guan and Xing chose to kill the generals and capture the flag to repel the Wei soldiers, they had already lost their footing.

The general takes a risk. If he succeeds, it will be fine. If he fails, the three armies will be defeated!
Cao Ren only sent out four generals, but Guan Xing sent out both the main and deputy generals!

Just when Cao Ren was about to launch the final wave of strong attacks and forcefully defeat the Han troops, the scouts came in a hurry.

"Report!"

"General, a Han army has arrived from the south, with about four thousand people."

"The tooth flag is written: The Han Dynasty is attacking the invaders general Wang Ping; there is also a big flag, which is written: There is no flying army."

Cao Ren was taken aback and asked quickly: "Are you sure the banner says: Wudang Feijun?"

Cao Ren was not impressed by "Wang Ping, the Han general who defeated the invaders", but he was deeply impressed by "the useless flying army".

Wudang Feijun, they are the elite of Zhuge Qiao's direct lineage!
When the flying army arrived, it meant that Zhuge Qiao had also arrived!
The scout nodded: "Back to the general, I read it right, it says 'Wu Dang Feijun'!"

Cao Ren's mood instantly became heavy.

When Wudang Feijun arrived, Cao Ren realized the problem: Han reinforcements came too fast!

"Ming Jin!"

Cao Ren decisively issued military orders.

Chang Diao and Zhuge Qian's soldiers from the North Village and Xu Shang and Lu Jian's soldiers from the West Village are not here.

If he only fights against Guan Yu and Guan Xing, Cao Ren still has a military advantage.

But if we use this small force to divide our troops to fight against the Wudang Feijun, it will be stretched thin.

The most important thing is: Cao Ren didn't know how many troops Zhuge Qiao would bring and how far away they were from here.

Cao Ren did not want to be divided and surrounded by Guan Yu like the Battle of Xiangfan three years ago, and was forced to be outnumbered in a local area.

Hearing the rapid sound of gold ringing, the four generals Li Zhen, Le Wei, Shi Jing and Han Rong quickly gave up their opponents and quickly returned to their own formation.

"General, I'm about to kill a thief general, why do I need to pay for it?" Le Wei gasped. Obviously, this real achievement was not as easy as he said.

Cao Ren glanced at the four generals Le Wei and said calmly: "Han dog reinforcements are coming."

Han reinforcements?

All four generals were shocked.

Han Rong blurted out: "Didn't the main force of Han Dog go to Nanxiang County? How could they return to Nanyang County so quickly for reinforcements?"

Cao Ren shook his head slightly: "I don't know either. Let's join the generals first to avoid being divided and surrounded by Han dogs."

the other side.

Xiahou Shang, who had received the order to withdraw his troops, stared at Guan Yu with a solemn expression.

In the battle just now, Guan Yu didn't feel any panic or nervousness, and seemed to turn a blind eye to the surrounded Han soldiers.

Xiahou Shang was already suspicious.

At this moment, after receiving the military order to retreat, Xiahou Shang suddenly realized.

Because I have confidence, I have nothing to fear.

"Guan Yu!" Xia Houshang clenched the Changshan in his hand and cursed unwillingly.

Before the Wudang Feijun approached, the Wei soldiers retreated like the tide.

The four generals Guan Xing, Fu Xu, Zong Yu and Fu Kuang all had no idea.

It wasn't until they saw Wang Ping and the four flying troops that the four generals breathed a long sigh of relief.

"It's Bo Song's useless flying army, saved!"

Guan Xing threw away the Huanshou knife with its edge curled up, and lay on the ground breathing heavily.

Guan Xing has already experienced the battle of life and death on the battlefield.

The difference is: in the past, it only involved the life and death of individuals, but this time it involves the life and death of more than 10,000 soldiers!

This psychological pressure is not on the same level.

Fu Xu, Zong Yu and Fu Kuang also fell on their backs.

Tired, hungry and sleepy, even a strong man cannot hold on!
Just as he was about to close his eyes, a tall figure appeared in front of Guan Xing.

Guan Xing was agitated and quickly struggled to get up to greet him: "General!"

Guan Yu originally wanted to accuse Guan Xing, a general, of lying here to rest instead of arranging his troops.

Seeing the exhaustion on Guan Xing's face, he finally could not make up his mind: "Go and rest, I will organize the troops."

Guan Xing grinned, tilted his head and started snoring.

Guan Yu sighed softly, took off his shirt and covered Guan Xing, then took out the tooth flag and asked Zhuge Wang to hang it on the flagpole and raise it high.

When the tooth flag of "Han General Guan Yu" appeared, the frightened Han soldiers instantly became relieved.

"The general is here!"

"The general saved us!"

"The general is mighty!"

"General!"

"General!"

Guan Yu's personal prestige was so strong that as long as he saw this tooth flag, the Han soldiers present would feel at peace.

Guan Yu waved his hand to silence the shouts of the crowd. Although his voice was as loud as a tiger and a leopard, it showed more concern for the sergeant: "Rest where you are for half an hour. I will prepare meals for you."

With Guan Yu's words, all the Han soldiers closed their eyes, or lay directly on the ground, or held weapons, or stood back to back.

Guan Yu then rode towards Wang Ping and said, "Zijun, let your men clean the battlefield and bury the pots to make rice."

Wang Ping followed Zhuge Qiao to visit Guan Yu three years ago and admired Guan Yu very much. Even now that he has become a general against bandits, his admiration has not diminished by half.

For Wang Ping, Guan Yu's request was just a matter of course.

"The general will get the order!"

Wang Ping's movements are very fast and his scheduling is very measured.

One group of soldiers formed a defensive formation in front; one group of soldiers was responsible for cleaning the battlefield; another group of soldiers was responsible for fetching water and firewood; and one group of soldiers was responsible for burying pots and making rice. After Wang Ping finished dispatching, Guan Yu asked about Zhuge Qiao's whereabouts: "Zijun, where is Bosong now?"

Wang Ping said truthfully: "The general is taking the waterway, which is slower than me. Counting the time, we will arrive soon."

While talking.

On the water surface of Qishui River, warships broke through the water and set their sails. It was Zhuge Qiao and others.

The warship docked.

Zhuge Qiao saluted Guan Yu from the bow of the ship: "General, my son-in-law is late."

Guan Yu laughed and boarded the ship: "It's just the right time."

After exchanging information with each other, Zhuge Qiao looked a little more smiling: "It seems that the Battle of Xiangfan scared Cao Ren, and he became so cautious."

"If anything goes wrong, I will withdraw my troops decisively. I won't get any advantage at all."

"If Cao Ren had withdrawn his troops later, he could have been captured alive here."

Guan Yu twirled his beard and said with a smile: "Cao Ren is the general of the puppet Wei after all. The prestige he has gained during his lifetime as a soldier is not so easy to capture alive!"

Zhuge Qiao quickly calculated the strength comparison between the two sides in his mind, and quickly made a decision: "Although Cao Ren retreated, his infantry and cavalry were already exhausted after fighting all night."

"Xinye can only fight with about 20,000 fresh troops."

"I brought more than 10,000 people by water this time, plus Zijun's 4,000 flying troops here, there won't be a big disadvantage in terms of military strength."

"General, you can rest here. I will lead my troops to chase Cao Ren first."

"There are cooks and boatmen on the ship. Just leave it to them to clean the battlefield and bury the pots to make rice."

Guan Yu nodded: "Cao Ren has many soldiers and generals. If he misses this opportunity, he will be outnumbered next time."

"Bosong, hurry up and leave this place to me."

The horn sounds.

The Han soldiers on the warships landed one after another.

Generals such as Ma Zhong, Jufu, Zhang Yi, Shamoke, Yao Min, Liu Shen, Deng Kai, Wenbu, Fan You, Wu Dang, Zeng Xia and others were all there.

Zhuge Qiao divided his soldiers into fourteen divisions.

Four troops were commanded by Wang Ping, and ten troops were commanded by Zhuge Qiao, with a total of 14,000 people.

The rest of the troops, horses and auxiliary troops were handed over to Guan Yu.

The army rapidly advanced towards Xinye City.

"It came so quickly!"

Not long after Cao Ren returned to Nanzhai, the scouts detected the incoming Han soldiers.

"Enter the city!"

Cao Ren didn't hesitate for a moment.

Although the number of soldiers was not smaller than that of the Han soldiers, Cao Ren's troops were exhausted after fighting and marching all night.

Go fight the new force of Han soldiers at this time, unless Cao Ren is stupid.

When Cao Ren arrived at Xinye City, he immediately sent orders to the Beizhai, Dongzhai and Xizhai to gather troops.

Although they don't know the specific details, Chang Diao and Zhuge Qian from the North Village, Xu Shang and Lu Jian from the West Village, and Xia Houxian from the East Village all led their troops to join Cao Ren in Xinye City.

After the armies of the three villages arrived in the city, Zhuge Qiao also led his troops to the South Village where Cao Ren was located.

"Cao Ren is a very hospitable person. He didn't even burn down the Nanzhai."

Zhuge Qiao asked people to carefully check whether there were any fire starters in the southern stronghold, and then led the army to the stronghold.

Seeing that there were a lot of antlers between Nanzhai and Xinye City, Zhuge Qiao ordered people to move the antlers away and invited Cao Ren to answer.

Zhuge Qiao removed Guan Yu's tooth flag and replaced it with the general flag of "Han Fu Han General Zhuge Qiao".

"General, why don't you let me go out into battle to persuade you to surrender." Zhuge Qian volunteered.

Xu Shang sneered: "Zhuge Qiao is Guan Yu's son-in-law. If you go to persuade him to surrender, what can you give him?"

Zhuge Qian smiled and said: "Although I can't give Zhuge Qiao any benefits, I can still delay time for the general and other soldiers to recharge their batteries."

Cao Ren was already hungry and tired. After listening to Zhuge Qian's suggestion, he said, "In that case, you can go out of the city to persuade him to surrender."

"If Zhuge Qiao is willing to surrender, I can help him become the general of Wei."

Zhuge Qian raised Cao Ren's banner and took the order to leave the city.

"Zhuge Qian, a loyal general under General Wei and a native of Yangdu County, Langya County, would like to ask Zhuge Qiao, the general of the Han Dynasty, to answer." Zhuge Qian shouted loudly.

The words fell.

Zhuge Qiao's left and right generals all had strange expressions on their faces.

"General, are they from your tribe?" Zhang Yi asked.

Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Qiao and his son are both from Yangdu County, Langya County. Now there is Zhuge Qian from Yangdu County, Langya County. If he is not a member of the same clan, it would be too much of a coincidence.

Zhuge Qiao sneered: "Who remembers the relatives who left the fifth server? Cao Ren is trying to delay time."

"Whoever wants to go out into battle will scold this thief back."

Liu Shen responded: "When it comes to fighting, I'm not good at it, but when it comes to scolding, I'm not inferior to others."

Yao Min also said: "What's the point of scolding alone? You and I are together."

The two rode forward.

Liu Shen said loudly: "Could it be that the person coming is Zhuge Qian, the slave of the third surname?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuge Qian suddenly opened his eyes.

Even Zhuge Qiao looked at Liu Shen in surprise: Is this Zhuge Qian or Lu Bu reborn?

Zhuge Qian was furious: "How dare this unknown person dare to humiliate me like this!"

Liu Shen laughed: "I am Liu Shen from Shu County. Although I don't have a good reputation, I also know how to write the word loyalty. I am not as shameless as a rat like you."

"You, Zhuge Qian, are originally the descendants of the Langya Zhuge family, but you regard thieves as your father and are willing to be the dogs of the puppet Wei. What are you if you are not a slave of the third surname?"

Zhuge Qian was extremely angry: "These are only two surnames, how can you get three surnames?"

Liu Shen laughed: "I'm rude, you are not a slave of the third surname, but a slave of the second surname."

Yao Min also echoed: "Hey, Brother Liu. They are also descendants of the Langya Zhuge clan. Why is this Zhuge Qian so stupid?"

"You actually think that being a slave with three surnames is a humiliation, while being a slave with two surnames is a matter of course."

Liu Shen shook his head: "Oranges grown in Huainan are called tangerines, and those grown in northern Huaibei are called tangerines. The leaves are similar, but the taste is actually different."

"Why is this so? The water and the soil are different."

"Now Zhuge was wise when he grew up in the Han Dynasty, but he became stupid when he entered the fake Wei. If he had the water and soil of the fake Wei, he would make the people good and stupid!"

Zhuge Qian was also a well-educated man. Hearing Liu Shen's sarcastic remarks about Sang and Huai, he could only feel his anger growing.

Before he could speak, Yao Min exclaimed loudly: "Is it stupid to join the puppet Wei Dynasty?"

"In the past, when Meng Da was a minister of the Han Dynasty, everyone said that Meng Da used troops like Le Yi. After joining the puppet Wei Dynasty, he commanded an army of 100,000 people but was defeated and died."

"Is it just because of the soil and water of Puppet Wei that the people are kind and stupid?"

Liu Shen laughed and said, "Absolutely! Wang Ping, the general who fought against the invaders, could not read a single Chinese character when he was in the puppet Wei Dynasty."

"But when he arrived in the Han Dynasty, General Wang could not only read but also write. He could even write poems and poems."

"I remember that General Wang also wrote an article "Ode to Fooling the People", which said that the powerful people in the pseudo-Wei Dynasty liked to fool the people the most."

"It's normal for Zhuge Qian to become stupid."

"Hey, Zhuge Qian, why don't you surrender to the big man, so you don't have to be a fool!"

Not to mention that Zhuge Qian was furious at this moment, Zhuge Qiao and the other generals all looked at Wang Ping, obviously very curious about "Ode to the Foolish People".

Wang Ping said with a dark face: "I never wrote it!"

Zhuge Qiao laughed and said, "When you have time in the future, you can write an article."

Just when Zhuge Qian was about to retort, Chang Diao ran out of the city and shouted: "Zhuge Qian, return to the city quickly. The general asked you not to be embarrassed again."

Zhuge Qian blushed with shame and returned to Xinye City dejectedly.

When Liu Shen and Yao Min saw Zhuge Qian leaving, they returned to resume their duties.

"That's a good scolding."

Zhuge Qiao was generous in his praise.

Especially the sentence "If you join the puppet Wei Dynasty, you will be stupid", which Zhuge Qiao quite agrees with.

All the generals laughed!

When the laughter gradually subsided, Zhuge Qiao calmed down and ordered: "Cao Ren asked Zhuge Qian to leave the city, it must be a delaying strategy."

"While Cao Ren is tired, all the troops attack the city quickly!"

The generals were in awe.

The war drums sound and the flags move.

The Han soldiers removed all the antlers on the outside and rushed towards Xinye City in excitement.

Offensive and defensive reversal.

Cao Ren also tasted the difficulty of Xinye City being undefended.

"Xu Shang, Lu Jian, Chang Diao, Zhuge Qian, Xia Houxian, you and other five generals will stay here for an hour."

"I will lead the exhausted troops back to Anzhong City to rest."

"An hour later, you will divide your troops into two groups and guard Rangxian County and Juiyang respectively."

Cao Ren didn't want to fight Zhuge Qiao here.

It is almost impossible to win with a tired force against a fresh force.

The generals also knew that the situation was serious, and after Cao Ren led his troops away, they lined up in Xinye City to meet the enemy.

There was no unnecessary scolding between the two sides, only the simplest and most direct fight.

Although Cao Ren's military order was to stick to one hour, both Xu Shang Lu Jian and Chang Diao Zhuge Qian Xia Houxian clearly felt the pressure.

Especially the Wudang Feijun, each armed with a Zhuge Liannu, and the dense crossbow arrows made the puppet Wei soldiers lose their temper at all!

There is no city and good location, so we can only rely on simple fortifications and shields to resist.

It was simply a battlefield specially prepared for Zhuge Liannu!
After guarding for an hour, Xu Shang and other generals breathed a sigh of relief.

We can finally withdraw!

This is a common thought shared by Xu Shang and others.

"In the future, when encountering unworthy flying troops, we must not confront each other in unsafe places!" Xia Houxian was still frightened.

Although not many people died, Xia Houxian didn't want to experience the feeling of being hit by an arrow while holding a shield all the time!

Seeing that the Wei soldiers were leaving in two groups, Zhuge Qiao immediately made a decision and ordered his troops to pursue Xu Shang and Lu Jian who were heading to Rang County.

Divide your troops!
Zhuge Qiao likes the enemy to divide his troops the most!
It is much easier to defeat many with many than with few.

Why does Han Xin like the more the better?
Just because Han Xingbing likes to use more to defeat less, even if the conditions are insufficient, he still has to create conditions to use more to defeat less.

No matter how elite your troops are, if you can't defeat them one on one, then use two on one, five on one, or ten on one.

Zhuge Qiao also liked this feeling.

In the past, we were partial to the army, with few soldiers, so we could only use surprise troops. We also tried to equip weapons to improve our combat effectiveness, and strive to outnumber the enemy.

Now when you are the commander of a large army, you no longer command thousands of people, but more than 10,000 or even tens of thousands of people. This feeling is different.

Zhuge Qiao also gradually understood why Han Xin looked down on Bai Qi and Xiang Yu.

Often outnumbered or evenly matched, the sergeant would suffer heavy casualties.

But if the enemy is outnumbered, reasonable deployment can minimize the casualties of sergeants.

It is difficult to fight one against ten, but it is much easier to fight against one among ten.

It's like the domineering line of a certain First Emperor: Since you can't catch him with three hundred people, then use three thousand, thirty thousand, three hundred thousand!
Suddenly, Zhuge Qiao also became more heroic: "It is better to use the remaining courage to chase the poor bandits! The whole army obeys the order and follows me to capture Rangcheng!" (End of this chapter)
