Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 297 Liu Bei Returns Disappointed

During the Battle of Hangu Pass, Cao Cao's allied forces were counterattacked by the Wuling Army, and finally fled.Wei Yan led the Qinglong cavalry to chase and kill for thirty miles, taking over ten thousand soldiers.

Cao Cao and others returned to the camp and defended the camp. Wei Yan was unable to attack for a while, so he had to retreat.

In Hangu Pass, Xu Shu and Dongfang Qiang knelt together to plead guilty.

"Dongfang, Yuanzhi, what do you mean? Isn't Hangu Pass still missing? Get up!"

Wu Shun really didn't mean to blame. It is too difficult for 4 people to resist 20 people.

"If the lord hadn't arrived in time, Hangu Pass would have been lost! The two of us are not good at defending, so please punish the lord!"

Hangu Pass was almost lost, and someone must shoulder the responsibility.

Xu Shu and Dongfang Qiang are not people who evade responsibility, so they came forward to take responsibility together.

"Our army has not won yet, and Cao Cao and others are only retreating temporarily. The Linyuan garrison is still fighting Liu Biao! You two will take the blame for the time being and make meritorious service."

When employing people, it is not suitable to punish generals, because there are still big battles to be fought.By the way, Wu let the two commit crimes and make meritorious deeds.

"Thank you, my lord!"

The two also knew that Wu Shun would not really punish them.However, there must be an explanation for the battle at Hangu Pass like this.It is the best way to say that they have committed crimes and performed meritorious deeds.

"Now Hangu Pass still needs to be defended, and Linyuan also needs support. Do you have any clever ideas?"

Knowing that he is here, Cao Cao should not attack by force.Given this opportunity, Wu Shun naturally thought about how to support Lin Yuan and deal a heavy blow to Liu Biao.

"Linyuan is too far away from Hangu Pass, and the support journey is too far away. It is better to attack Liu Biao nearby and force him to retreat!"

Wu Shun wanted to go directly to Linyuan to fight against Liu Biao.Xu Shu knew that this was not realistic.Cao Cao's allied forces are still waiting for an opportunity, and Hangu Pass still needs a large number of troops to deter.

There are other ways to save Lin Yuan, and it is not necessary to go back to Lin Yuan.As long as he pretends to attack Xiangyang, Liu Biao will retreat if he is afraid.

"Yuan Zhi said that the enemy must be saved after attacking?"

Wu Shun asked, besides this, he couldn't think of any other way to save Lin Yuan.

"My lord's words are right. You only need to send out a surprise army and attack Xiangyang all the way. Liu Biao will definitely return to the army to defend."

With Liu Biao's conservative personality, Xiangyang will not be put in danger. This is the mystery of Xu Shu's plan.

"Well, Liu Biao dispatched 15 people to attack our Wuling County, Xiangyang's defense is empty, and a sudden attack of a surprise army can indeed be a surprise! Yuan Zhi thinks, which army can be up to this task?"

Surprise soldiers must be taken by surprise, and several elite regiments in the Wuling Army can do it.It was not easy for Wu Shun to appoint directly, so he asked Xu Shu for some advice.

"This subordinate thinks that the Azure Dragon Cavalry is competent!"

When Xu Shu finished speaking, Wei Yan was overjoyed, and the credit would fall to himself, Qinglongqi.Looking at Xu Shu, he couldn't help but feel grateful.

After all, the White Tiger Legion is also capable of this tactical plan.The Canglang Legion far away in Yizhou is also capable. The advantage of the Azure Dragon Cavalry is that they are fast and can come and go freely.

"Where is Wei Yan?"

"The end is here!"

"I order you to lead the Qinglong cavalry to harass all the way until the city of Xiangyang. The bigger the commotion, the better. If necessary, you can do things cheaply, but is there any difficulty?"

"The last general takes orders, there is no difficulty!"

Wei Yan was overwhelmed, and Wu Shun allowed him to act cheaply, as long as he could disturb Jingzhou's peace and let Liu Biao withdraw his troops from Linyuan!

Such a task is simply specially set up for the cavalry, which is very suitable.The Jingzhou navy is invincible, the infantry is so-so, and the cavalry is very few.

All the cavalry who can ride and shoot go in, don't attack the city, only harass, Jingzhou can't even stop it!
"Leave as soon as possible, don't let Cao Cao's scouts find out about you, go!"

Seeing Wei Yan's excited expression, Wu Shun knew that this fierce general already had a battle plan.

It is easy to assign tasks to such generals, you just need to say a goal, and you don't need to tell them how to fight.

"The last general will retire, and the Azure Dragon Cavalry will set off tonight!"

Wei Yan clasped his fists and said.

The Linyuan Xuanwu Legion is still struggling to resist the [-] Jingzhou army. The sooner Wei Yan sets out, the better.

"Okay, let's go!"

"I will retire at the end!"

After Wei Yan left, Wu Shun, Xu Shu, Zhang Xiong, Dongfang Qiang and others continued to discuss how to target Cao Cao's coalition forces.

……

In Linyuan City, Wenpin's face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot!
"Retired, today the soldiers have a good rest."

Just repelling an attack by Zhang Yun did not make Wenpin happy.

Since the arrival of the three of Liu Bei, he has not gone down the city wall for ten consecutive days!Like him, there are fifteen thousand soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion.

Zhang Yun is not as crazy as Cao Cao, but under the siege on all sides, the Xuanwu Army, which is good at defending, paid the price of 5000 people in ten days.

The defensive equipment in Linyuan City was consumed a lot, Wuxi's reinforcements hadn't arrived yet, but Zhang Yun had three reinforcements here.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were two thousand enemies, leading Jingzhou soldiers extremely fierce.The Xuanwu Legion needs to use greater sacrifices to stop it.

"Fortunately, there are still people who volunteered to help defend the city, otherwise Linyuan City would have fallen long ago."

Wenpin sighed unceasingly, the people spontaneously helped to strengthen the city wall, and spontaneously helped the soldiers to carry supplies, the soldiers of Linyuan City had been completely lost, and now they could only rely on their Xuanwu Army.

In Jingzhou Daying, Zhang Yungao took the first place, he was very angry, today's attack was repulsed by Wenpin again.

"Mr. Xuande, can you teach me a trick?"

It was Liu Xuande who made Zhang Yun the most angry, obviously Liu Biao sent him to help him, but he didn't say a word when he got here.

He just asked his two brothers to attack the city together, but he didn't try his best.With Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's fighting power not weaker than Huang Zhong's, if they gather together, they will definitely be able to break through the Wuling army's defense.

But Guan Yu and Zhang Feimeng were fierce, but they didn't want to be with Huang Zhong.

Liu Bei knew that his position was embarrassing. He had a high status but no real power.If you help Zhang Yun capture Linyuan, or even occupy Wuling County, Zhang Yun will be credited, and Liu Bei will not benefit much.

There is a reason why Liu Bei does not work hard here. He wants real power and the command of an army.

It's not uncommon for Liu Biao's subordinates to grab credit at critical moments.

Now that Zhang Yun is at the end of his skills, it's time for Liu Bei to play his best.

"General, I wonder if the Jingzhou soldiers are willing to obey Liu Bei's command?"

Liu Bei asked tentatively.

There is always that smile on his face that makes people feel like a spring breeze.

But in Zhang Yun's view, that smile was extremely disgusting, but he couldn't get angry. He needed victory and Liu Bei's help.

"As long as Mr. Xuande has a way, all Jingzhou soldiers will obey you!"

Zhang Yun is also going all out, as long as he wins the battle, everything will be easy to talk about.

He has already lost [-] to [-] of Jingzhou's [-] infantry. If there is no result, he will not only face Liu Biao's anger when he returns.

"Okay, let the soldiers rest well tonight, and let the soldiers have a good meal tomorrow with good wine and meat! I have my own arrangements!"

Liu Bei's face is unpredictable!
"Just as Duke Xuande said!"

Zhang Yun agreed.
