The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 459
Qiu Liju frowned at the news brought back by the scouts sent by Qiu Liju. The situation was not optimistic. He did not expect Liu Bei's troops guarding Liangzhou to arrive so soon.

Qiu Liju led troops to plunder Liangzhou. He had long thought that Zhao Yun, who was guarding Liangzhou, would not let them run amok in Liangzhou, but Qiu Liju also believed that Zhao Yun would at most send some soldiers to contain them, and he would not throw the army at all. come.

Because they came from afar, just for food, and when they plundered enough food, they would push out of Liangzhou and return to the grassland, and the territory still belonged to Liu Bei.

But the other army that came to attack Liangzhou, Cao Cao's army, wanted to occupy the entire Liangzhou. Logically, Cao Cao was Zhao Yun's main enemy, and Zhao Yun should use most of his troops to fight against Cao Cao's army.

"According to the scouts." Qiu Liju summoned all the leaders to discuss the matter, and even Liu Bao was called, which shows how much Qiu Liju valued Zhao Yun. "General Liu Bei Zhao Yun, who is guarding Liangzhou, has led the army to Xinping, and Cheriji is Zhao Yun's. Killed by soldiers and horses."

"Zhao Yun is currently in Xinping County. There are Zhao Yun's rangers all around Xinping County. Our scouts can only see from a distance that the Xinping County Tower is covered with Han people. Zhao Yun's handsome flag is also hanging on the Xinping County Tower."

"Besides, the scouts also found a 5000-strong elite cavalry coming towards us. The commander of the troops is Zhao Yun's general Zhang Xiu. What do you think?" After Qiu Liju finished speaking, he looked coldly at the leaders of the various ministries below.

"King," Qiu Liju's confidant General Lang Ni bent down and said, "I heard that this Zhao Yun is Liu Bei's top general, with superb martial arts skills, and the soldiers and horses in his hands are all elite Han people. Even General Cao Cao is not his opponent. The army is coming, we have to be careful."

"King," Lou Ban said afterward, "That Zhang Xiu led five thousand cavalry to test our strength. Why don't we take this opportunity to eat up the five thousand cavalry and let Zhao Yun know how powerful we are. That's it. Zhao Yun didn't dare to act rashly, at that time, as long as we don't attack the big city of Liangzhou, Zhao Yun should not stop us from finding some food, and when we find enough food, we will leave Liangzhou."

Lou Ban's words caught the eyes of many leaders. Anyway, they are looting food. It doesn't matter whether they go to a big city or not, as long as they don't fight.

"Leader Liu Bao, what do you think?" Many Xianbei leaders expressed their opinions, some supported Lou Ban's opinion, and some felt that Zhao Yun did not have as many troops as them, so they could kill Zhao Yun. The whole Liangzhou belonged to them, and they always maintained Liu Bao, who kept a low profile and did not express his opinion, failed to escape Qiu Liju's attention, so he directly asked Liu Bao by name.

"King," Liu Bao stood up hastily, and said cautiously, "I don't think Zhao Yun will let us plunder Liangzhou. He will definitely attack us until he drives us back to the grassland."

"Why?" Qiu Liju raised his hand to suppress Lou Ban who wanted to speak out, and continued to ask Liu Bao with interest.

Liu Bao's heart trembled, but he still said softly: "A few years ago, our grassland tribes came to the Central Plains to hunt, and Liu Bei sent troops to stop us from entering the Central Plains. From this point of view, Liu Bei dislikes us looting the Han people very much."

Liu Bao paused, and he was relieved when he saw that Qiu Liju didn't change his expression, because at that time, the Huns were the masters of the grassland, and Xianbei and Wuheng were still their slaves. Defeated and became a vassal of Xianbei.

Liu Bao continued: "Zhao Yun is Liu Bei's general, and he will definitely act according to Liu Bei's wishes. If we allow us to plunder Liangzhou, Zhao Yun will definitely be punished by Liu Bei."

"So." Liu Bao said here, looked at the many leaders in the big tent, and said: "Now we must either go back the same way, return to the grassland from Jingyang, or defeat Zhao Yun and occupy Liangzhou."

"Then fight!" Lou Ban roared viciously.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!..."

"Quiet!"

Qiu Liju gave a cold cry, causing the fighting spirit to stop and look at their king.

"Leader Liu Bao is right. Zhao Yun will not let us plunder Liangzhou, otherwise he will not leave Cao Cao's army behind and come to Xinping to block our way forward." Qiu Liju said here, smiling at Liu Bao head, as if to say, this king admires you very much, which makes Liu Bao feel a sense of crisis.

"But." Qiu Liju spoke again, and said to the crowd: "It is impossible for us to go back the same way, we don't have much food, and our clansmen are still waiting for our warriors to bring back the food for the winter, we have no choice. "

Zhan and returning the same way were two options. Qiu Liju chose the same choice as many leaders, because they had no choice. They came here from a long distance to plunder the people of the big Han and plunder enough food to go back.

"However, the Han army is very powerful, especially their weapons are very sophisticated, and we will suffer a lot from fighting with them." Qiu Liju glanced at the crowd, and then said: "We must not attack the big city guarded by the Han army, we must find a way Let them out of the city, and fight them on the plain."

The grassland ministries suffered enough from attacking Han Chinese cities. The Han people defended the city really well, especially the defensive weapons of the Han people were very terrifying. They were not good at attacking the city, and they were very resistant to attacking the big Han city.

"My lord, why don't we surround Zhang Xiu's 5000 troops and lead Zhao Yunshui's army to come to the rescue, so that we can fight Zhao Yun's troops outside the city." Lang Ni's eyes lit up, he immediately had an idea, and hurriedly offered advice .

"Okay." Qiu Liju's eyes lit up. This is indeed a good way. As long as Zhang Xiu's [-] soldiers and horses surround him, Zhao Yun will not come to rescue him. Zhao Yun.

"Zhang Xiu brought cavalry, and here is a flat land, it is difficult to surround them, we must find a way." Qiu Liju began to think, and soon made a decision, and ordered: "Leader Liu Bao , When Zhang Xiu arrives, lead the Xiongnu warriors to fight, and then pretend to be invincible to lure them to chase."

"Yes, Wang." Not daring to disobey Qiu Liju's order, Liu Bao hurriedly agreed.

"Wolf mud, Lou Ban."

"King!" Langni and Lou Ban rushed forward.

"Both of you lead [-] cavalry each, and lay in ambush to the left and right. When Zhang Xiu chases you, you immediately attack from the left and right to cut off Zhang Xiu's retreat." Qiu Liju entrusted the most important task to his most trusted and powerful two men. general.

"Yes, King!"

"The rest of the ministries, be prepared. Once Zhao Yun leads troops out of the city, we will leave them outside the city. As long as Zhao Yun's army is killed, the entire Liangzhou will belong to our grassland warriors."

"Yes, King!"
