The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 174

When the Battle of Guandu was in full swing, Liu Bei, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, took advantage of Cao Cao's lack of time to attack the city and occupy the land in Wancheng, Nanyang, west of Yuzhou.After Zhang Xiu left Wancheng, Nanyang County was again taken by Liu Biao, but the three counties east of Nanyang, Lushan, Gucheng, and Anle, were occupied by Cao Ren.These three counties are three to five hundred miles away from Xinye, which is the only way for Liu Bei to attack Yingchuan.As soon as Yingchuan was broken, the gate of Xuchang was opened, and Jingzhou soldiers could reach Cao Cao's base camp directly.Half a month ago, Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu, Guan Ping, and his adopted son Liu Feng to send [-] troops to Quewei Slope. Guan Yu displayed his might and won five battles and five victories. line.This is the so-called, 'Pass five levels and kill six generals'!Cao Ren tried his best to deal with Zhao Yun, fearing that he would not be able to do so. If he had the energy to attack him, Liu Bei attacked Yingchuan even more recklessly.

After Cao Cao heard about it, he was very anxious, and scolded the big-eared thief for nothing. At this time, he stabbed the knife from behind.Cao Cao analyzed the current severe situation and realized that it was impossible for Cao Ren and Gao Shun to send reinforcements.He had to order Xiahou Dun to lead [-] troops to retreat from the enemy.Dong Zhao proposed to let Xiahoudun take a detour through the mountain path, go straight into Xinye from Yecheng, come to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, attack Liu Bei's rear, and force him to abandon the three counties, so that he does not have to attack the city and reduces a lot of losses.

Xiahou Dun didn't take the big-eared thief seriously at all, and just opened his mouth, "Liu Xuande, a general who has been defeated repeatedly, what a shame." Smash Xiangyang." Zhu Zan, the Central Guard, advised him not to underestimate the enemy. Xiahou Dun pointed at Zhu Zan's nose and scolded: "You Lizi, you are not good enough and resourceful. You are timid and afraid of getting into trouble. Go home and hold your child." Zhu Zan muttered in his heart, I still No kids yet.

Complacent, Xiahou Dun swung his arms and spoke to the generals about the glorious history of Liu Bei's repeated defeats. He boasted and said, "It's okay, don't worry, Liu Bei is not the opponent of the Dudu. Once the Dudu is gone, there is no need to scare him." Scared him to death!"

Zhu Zan frowned when he heard this, is Liu Bei such a waste?
When the team arrived at Bowangpo, it was already the end of June in the lunar calendar, the end of summer, and the beginning of golden autumn. There will always be a few days of madness in the process of transforming the south wind into the golden wind.The wind is very strong today.

As Xiahou Dun was speaking, he saw dust and smoke rising up in front of him, boiling, flying sand and rocks, and the rolled up loess all over the sky, forming a yellow mist at a height of more than ten feet.A big army horse came over.

Xiahou Dun hurriedly ordered Zhu Zan to hold his ground and looked forward, but he saw a distorted and disorderly formation.These people are dressed in tatters, like beggars, and the weapon they hold is a wooden stick with a sharpened point.Mouth almost crooked.

The general of the commanding army was Guan Ping. Xiahou Dun led his horse forward and fought Guan Ping for three or five rounds before beating Guan Ping away.Xiahou Dun firmly believed in Liu Bei's point of view that he was vulnerable, and sent troops to pursue Guan Ping, who was fleeing.

After running for a while, Guan Ping came back to fight Xiahou Dun for a while, ran for a while, and came back to fight for a while.It made Xiahou Dun fly into a rage, and his father and mother couldn't catch him.The two chased and ran for an hour, and went out for a hundred miles.

Zhu Zan felt that something was wrong in the rear team, and hurried to catch up with Xiahou Dun who was burning with anger and persevering: "Captain, I can't chase anymore, it seems to be a trap. Don't have an ambush."

Zhu Zan was also a member of the Cao army who was both wise and brave, and he was highly regarded by Cao Cao. He was appointed as Xiahou Dun's deputy because he was steady, pragmatic and calm-headed.But Xiahou Dun didn't believe it, he thought Liu Bei was a bad guy.It's no wonder that Uncle Liu Huang was really useless before!Xiahou Dun's arrival made Guan Ping's head furious, and secondly, he was the general of Xiong Wei, who relied on himself to win the three armies bravely and fearlessly. He wanted to go straight to Xiangyang and clean up Liu Bei and Liu Biao. In front of Cao Cao, he asked for credit and reward.He has the same problem as Xu Chu, that is, he looks down on counselors and literati. When he led the army to fight, Dong Zhao and Hua Xin repeatedly warned that Liu Huangshu is a hero and should not be underestimated, and Xiahou Dun scoffed.He wants to win the battle and be ashamed of these cultural people who can only talk and have no skills at all!

At dusk, chase into Bowangpo Mountain Road.When the strong wind blows, the forests in the mountains rustle, and the exotic flowers and plants compete to twist their waists to show off to the strong wind. The palm-sized flowers are as bright as clouds and as gorgeous as girls.The deep mountains with dense vegetation and wild flowers and waterfalls make people tremble instead of comfortable in the wind.When the wind blows and the grass moves, patches of green grass and red flowers lower their proud heads, revealing countless beasts inside.And in the ears, there was also the sound of heavy waves rolling with the wind, as if it was a beast roaring and roaring.The rock walls on both sides in the distance seem to be squeezed.

Zhu Zan persuaded Xiahou Dun to return to the army, Xiahou Dun was also a little moved

At this time, something unexpected happened, a beggar ambush appeared on both sides of the mountain road, and Liu Bei was the leader.Xiahou Dun refused to retreat any more, and shouted: "If you don't capture Liu Bei alive today, you will not withdraw." He shouted and went to fight Liu Bei. How could Liu Bei dare to challenge him one-on-one? Chase desperately behind.

It was getting late at this time, the night wind was blowing more and more urgently, the trees were thick and the mountain road was getting narrower and narrower.Zhu Zan once again reminded Xiahou Dun to be on guard against enemy fire.

It's over, it's too late.

There was only a sound of a cannon, and countless huge fireballs made of firewood rolled down on the hillsides on both sides like wheels.Guan Yu and Liu Feng on the left and right each led three thousand archers to shoot rockets at random.Immediately, rockets danced wildly all over the mountain like moths, and the weeds and trees suddenly turned into a sea of ​​flames.The valley was full of flames.

The fire takes advantage of the wind, and the wind takes advantage of the power of the fire. The burning Bowangpo looks like a mountain of flames. The whole mountain is crackling, and the humming sound shakes the valley. It is not known whether it is the sound of wind or fire.

Hundreds of thousands of Cao Jun crowded into such a narrow space and suddenly became chaotic, embracing back and forth.The front cannot go in, the back cannot go out, horses trample on human corpses, people and horses are jammed, the dead are cremated immediately, and those who are not dead are burnt to the point of being so smoky that they cannot open their eyes.Liu Bei and Guan Ping took advantage of the situation to return to the army to cover up the killing. Guan Yu and Liu Feng led troops to kill them again on the two hillsides. The food, grass and luggage were also burned. Xiahou's army was almost slaughtered in this battle——

Relying on bravery and not fearing death, Xiahoudun and Zhu Zan led ten thousand soldiers out of the siege, full of remorse, and felt ashamed to see Cao Cao again. They jumped off cliffs and rivers three times on the road, but were stopped by Zhu Zan and others.

Xiahoudun stomped his feet and said, "I don't believe that Liu Bei has this ability. It's impossible." If he lost to others, he could bear it. Losing to Liu Bei, Xiahoudun felt that his self-esteem had been severely hit like never before, and he was ashamed to face others. .

Zhu Zan helped him analyze: "I think there seems to be a problem here. This trick to lure the enemy is too damaging. It doesn't seem like Liu Bei can come up with it. Could it be that someone came up with a plan for him." Xiahou Dun touched the black ash on his face , Zheng said: "There are a few prisoners in the army, you can pull them over and ask." "Has anyone defected to your lord recently?"

"Yes, he is my family's military adviser. His surname is Zhuge, his name is Liang, and his style name is Kongming."

Xiahou Dun stared at One Eye at the top of his voice, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Did Zhuge Liang come up with this fucking fire attack strategy?"

Seeing his fierce appearance, the soldier almost fainted from fright; "Yes, yes—" In fact, he didn't know if it was true.

Zhu Zan smacked his lips and said, "Zhuge Liang, I haven't heard of Kong Ming. What did he do before?"

A soldier next to him said, "General Qi, I heard that he was farming in the countryside of Nanyang."

Xiahou Dun tilted his head and spit out a mouthful of phlegm: "The mother is a villager. Liu Bei must have gotten lucky this time. I think he caught up with shit luck."

Zhu Zan frowned: "Mountain villager——"

At the same time that Xiahou Dun led his troops out of Guandu, Tian Feng got the news through Feige's letter, and felt that it was time to attack Chen Deng in Xuzhou.From Le'an, Penglai, Donglai, Linzi, and four counties, [-] elite soldiers were mobilized.Jiang Yiqu, the general of the town army, and Ma Yan, the prefect of Yuyang in Youzhou, were ordered to rush to Qingzhou to assist Tian Feng in fighting.

Jiang Yiqu is a man who does not show his mountains and waters in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He only appeared once, that is, when he was stationed in Liyang when Guandu was defeated, he gathered the defeated soldiers and sent his father back to Jizhou.But according to my observations over the past few years, this person is actually not simple.From the fact that he gathered defeated soldiers, we can see his prestige in the army.Jiang Yiqu is a loyal man, good at restraining the hearts of the people, and runs the army strictly. He never plunders or harms the people.It is especially worth mentioning that his martial arts are not weak. Zhang Xi has recommended him to me many times, saying that Yiqu's martial arts are not inferior to mine or even surpassed.Wen Chou also said that he would not die in a war, which is much better than the villainous villains with good official fortunes like General Meng Dai, the supervising army.

This man is loyal, bold and careful.When Guandu was defeated, many generals were afraid that Cao Cao would cross the river and attack Liyang.Fifty percent of the guards of Baima and Yanjin surrendered without a fight.The situation is extremely critical.Although Jiang Yiqu hadn't done any great feats to shock the world at that time, he was calm and calm, and sent his father back to Jizhou without showing any timidity or panic.This is enough to be an independent general.

I think that the fundamental reason why this person is unknown in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is that he has not met Bole.Now Bole is here.

Under Tian Feng's design, Jiang Yiqu and Ma Yan divided their troops into two groups, and within ten days they went to Yangdu, Zhucheng, Hanshang, and three counties in Xuzhou's Langya County, and their troops approached Dongguan.

Yangdu is the hometown of Zhuge Liang, with Wenshui River on the left and Yishui River winding around the small town on the right.This place is four hundred miles away from Taishan County in Xuzhou and two hundred miles away from Dongguan.One hundred and fifty miles ahead of Dongguan is Xiapi, and after Xiapi is Pengcheng, the seat of Xuzhou.

After Jiang Yiqu entered Yangdu County, he felt that Dongguan could not be attacked immediately. He said to Tian Feng: "Yangdu is located in the plain area in the south of Shandong Province, extending in all directions. It is Yishui County in the north, Linyi County in the south, Ju County in the east, and Juxian County in the west. Dongguan is actually the place where the Fourth World War was fought. If an army advances westward, and Chen Deng contacts the three surrounding counties to attack in the future, the enemy will inevitably suffer more than the loss. To be on the safe side, it is the best policy to clear the surrounding obstacles first."

Tian Feng adopted his strategy and ordered Jiang Yiqu, Ma Yan, Zhang Wu, Chen Sun, and Le'an prefect Sui Gu to attack the three cities respectively.

Chen Deng was shocked when he heard the battle report, and immediately sent Donghai Governor Xu Si and Yamen General Wang Kai to attack Yangdu.The two left, and before they arrived at Yangdu, they heard the news that the three counties had fallen.Fearing that the East China Sea would be attacked, the two withdrew their troops overnight.

Sure enough, as I expected, Jiang Yiqu had the military power in his hands, and immediately changed from a sheep to a wolf with teeth.Jiang Yiqu took the lead with a steel whip in his hand, shot arrows and stones himself, regardless of life and death, a small county town in Dongguan, with a force of less than [-] troops, was captured in two hours, and the Philadelphia guard was so frightened that he immediately opened the city and surrendered.

Fei County was destroyed, and the mighty army arrived at Xiapi and set up camp outside the city.Xiapi guarded the car helmet and asked Chen Deng for help.Chen Deng strictly ordered Xu Si and Wang Kai to send troops to attack Yuan's rear.

Tian Feng had expected that the enemy would have this move, so he ordered Sui Gu, Chen Sun, and Zhang Wu to guard the camp, and Jiang Yiqu Mayan to divide his troops to meet Xu Si.

Tian Feng was afraid of the large number of soldiers and horses in Xiapi City, and also afraid that Chen Deng would come to help him, so he only gave Jiang Yiqu 2 horses and asked him to deal with Xu Si cautiously.Jiang Yiqu led his troops forward without saying anything.

Xu Sima's [-] to [-] infantry marched out of Donghai Road, and was about to approach Xiapi. The spies reported that Jiang Yiqu's army had come up, probably more than [-] people, with banners everywhere and dust covering the sky.

Xu Si softened as soon as he heard it. He was greedy for life and afraid of death. He dared to attack Yuan Jun's back village because of his large number of troops. I recently heard about Jiang Yiqu's heroic deeds, and I felt a little apprehensive.Wang Kai sternly said: "My lord, you should set up a camp first and wait for work. I will lead people to lie in ambush in the woods ahead, wait for the enemy's front army to pass, and cover them from the middle. Using the smoke of the wolf as a signal, my lord will lead the troops to flank the enemy when they see the smoke rising. Even though there are [-] enemy soldiers, it's nothing to worry about." Xu Si thought to himself, it sounds good, but if the enemy doesn't fall for it, and [-] soldiers and horses meet head-to-head with a [-] army, it will be bad luck.

Jiang Yiqu didn't have [-] soldiers at all, and Tian Feng's total force was only a little over [-].He heard that Xu Si, the prefect of the East China Sea, was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, greedy for life and afraid of death, so he asked the soldiers to prepare an extra thousand flags to fly in the wind.He also asked the cavalry to tie branches to the tails of the horses and sweep the dust on the road into the air, creating a mighty momentum of galloping horses to frighten Xu Si.

Originally Wang Kai's strategy was the best strategy, but Xu Si fell into Jiang Yiqu's strategy and was so frightened to death that he refused to risk a two-pronged attack, coughing and saying: "Since the enemy has already discovered us, a sneak attack is no longer possible, we will wait for you." How about withdrawing to the East China Sea, plotting, the governor will not blame you if you think about it. There is a reason for what happened, and there is a reason for what happened." Barma ordered the soldiers to return.

Really fear the enemy like a tiger!

Wang Kai did not leave. According to the words of his previous life, this man was a desperado. He would not cry when he saw the coffin. His motto was "Here is a big scar on his head. After 18 years, he will be a good man again".

Wang Kai looked at Xu Si and got angry, thinking that the Han Dynasty would be ruined in the hands of a soft-boned man like you.He caught up with Xu Si and insisted: "My lord, if you must withdraw the troops, please give me 1 horses. Wang Kai can set up an ambush in the woods ahead, and avoid the threat of the enemy soldiers chasing after them." Xu Si quite agreed with this sentence. ;"Okay, after you come, general, the prefect will take a step ahead and go back to the East China Sea to make preparations, in case the enemy soldiers take advantage of the vacancy to attack."

Wang Kai was almost mad with anger, he ran away, and found so many high-sounding reasons to cover up his ugliness.

Jiang Yiqu has a habit of marching. He is very sensitive to the terrain. In the eyes of some people, he may be too cautious.His spies are sent out very far away, often thirty or fifty miles ahead of the vanguard, and there are a lot of people in order to check out all the nearby terrain, landforms, rivers, and lakes, so as to determine whether to set up camp or continue on. Row.Doing so will slow down the marching speed, which is contrary to the purpose of the speed of soldiers. Perhaps it is for this reason that the old man has been unwilling to reuse him.The ancient army was constrained by unfavorable factors such as communication and transportation, and it was very common to be attacked by surprise.Almost all famous generals and non-famous generals have been robbed and killed, but Jiang Yiqu has never fallen into such a trap during his 20 years of marching.The reason is his sensitivity to terrain!

The spies reported that a dense forest was found ahead, about a dozen miles around.Jiang Yiqu asked calmly, "Have you found any traces of the enemy soldiers?"

The spy replied: "There are only some messy ruts and horseshoe marks, and there are no enemy soldiers." Okay, everything is clear.Jiang Yiqu sneered and said: "Prepare rockets, firearms, wooden blunderbuss, and fire bricks. The three armies rushed at full speed with light armor, threw away all the extra things, and the infantry went to shoot arrows in the woods. The cavalry stood guard on the road, waiting to be robbed and killed—"

Wang Kai fully thought that the opponent had a hundred thousand troops, and when passing through the main road, there would be a deafening sound of moving mountains and filling seas.No one knew that Jiang Yiqu was bluffing.As a result, the [-] troops did not arrive, but [-] rockets arrived.Bundles of dry firewood were thrown into the woods, followed by rocket moths.Along with the rocket, there were countless wooden guns and fire bricks flying into the woods.These things exploded as soon as they hit the ground, and for a while, the iron water chestnut was filled with smoke and flew in all directions. Cao Jun on the horse didn't know why, and rushed to escape.Wang Kai's left arm was shot by an iron chestnut, which went deep into the bone marrow, and the pain made her dizzy for a while.Although there were countless rockets, the fire was not big because of the lack of wind, but the green leaves on the smoked trees were billowing with smoke, which made people cough and vomit unbearably.

The forest was too big, and Jiang Yiqu couldn't guess where Cao Bing was hiding. He only let the soldiers shoot fiercely into the center of the forest, with the intention of forcing them out with smoke.The cavalry outside have sharpened their swords and spears and are ready to harvest human life.

No one can withstand the smoky smoke, that taste is a hundred times worse than death.Jiang Yiqu's prediction was not bad. Cao Jun's soldiers all closed their eyes and ran out like headless flies. The horses were frightened when they saw the fire, and countless people trampled to death.

As soon as Cao Jun showed his head, Jiang Yiqu gave an order, and the cavalry who were ready to go rushed forward frantically.Massacre Cao Bing who was rubbing his eyes or taking a deep breath.Cao Jun ran out of the dense forest in batches of more than three, five, and ten. There was no way to do effective defense at all, and he could only let Yuan Jun slaughter.

Wang Kai escaped from the woods, ignored the pain in his left arm, squinted his eyes, and saw Jiang Yiqu, who was sitting high on the horse, triumphant, and was furious, and rushed towards him on horseback: "You dog thief, take your life." His left arm was injured and his eyes were squinted. Wang Kai and Jiang Yiqu fought for ten rounds. Jiang Yiqu whipped him on the back of his neck from a tricky angle that he couldn't see. Wang Kai's eyes blurred, his head sank, and he lost consciousness. He fell headfirst.

Jiang Yiqu's personal soldiers came up, four horses gathered their hooves, and their five flowers were tied up.Shouting to the woods: "Your general has been captured, how long will it be before you surrender—"
