Chapter 66: Kuaiyue's back stab
Xiahou Dun defeated Zhao Yun for two games and was on the way to pursue him. He saw that the sky was dark and the sound of wind came from the dense forests on both sides, and was worried that there would be ambushes in the forest.
But at this time the arrow was on the string. If the order was ordered to withdraw from the valley, the cavalry in the front team would easily trample on the infantry in the rear, so Xiahou Dun could only rush forward with his teeth.
Suddenly, rockets shot volleys on the western mountain, and shouts suddenly erupted in the valley. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's ambush came out together, and Xiahou Dun's soldiers immediately became panicked.
"General, there is indeed an ambush, you can retreat quickly." Yu Jin reminded in a hurry.
"Wenze, you immediately restrain your troops and order the army to quickly withdraw from the valley." At this time, Xiahou Dun could only rely on Yu Jin, who was good at managing the army.
"Vei." Yu Jin left in response.
At this time, Zhao Yun from the south led his army to attack Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on three sides. Cao's army was suddenly in panic. The cavalry's horses were frightened by the fire and ran around, rushing and traumatizing countless infantrymen following behind to death.
Liu Bei was glad to see the fire in the dense forest and said happily: "The military advisor is a clever plan, and this time he might be able to capture the blind Xiahou alive."
Xu Shu nodded and said, "The victory and defeat are determined now. Whether the coach can be captured alive depends on God's will."
Li Dian saw the flames of Bowangpo soaring into the sky in the camp to the north. He expected that Xiahou Dun had fallen into Liu Bei's ambush, so he led the troops in the camp to go south quickly to respond.
Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin were still calm at first, but as the fire became more and more fierce in the night and Liu Bei's army surrounded and blocked, the two of them were already in chaos and could only escape on their own, and they could not spare their energy to restrain their soldiers.
Two hours later, Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin led the remnants of their troops to the entrance of the valley, and one out of ten people they brought were not yet available.
Seeing that he could escape from the sky, a group of people from the north came to the north with torches, and the embarrassed soldiers behind him were stunned.
Xiahou Dun mistakenly thought it was Liu Bei's ambush, and said to Jin with a sad face: "We are going to die here..."
A moment later, Yu Jin discovered that it was Li Dian's reinforcements and said happily: "General, it's Mancheng who is here to take over."
Xiahou Dun looked closely and found that he was indeed using the banner of Li, but he was not happy at this moment because he had not heard his words before the war.
After the war, Liu Bei counted his troops and wiped out more than 20,000 enemies in Bowangpo, but his injuries were less than 10%.
After a great victory, Guan, Zhang, Zhao and other generals were all very happy. Liu Bei finally understood the importance of the military advisor, so he trusted Xu Shu more.
"Military advisor, what should we do now?" Liu Bei asked.
"Xiahou Dun will leave if he is defeated. We can advance slowly and then ask Wenpin and Liu Biao for help. Maybe we can really attack Xudu." Xu Shu said.
Liu Bei was overjoyed and ordered Jian Yong and Liu Yan to go to Xiangyang and Xi'e to seek help, and then continued to advance northward.
Wenpin was shocked when he learned that Liu Bei had defeated Xiahou Dun. He said that he would obey Liu Biao's orders before sending troops.
Jian Yong came to Xiangyang quickly. Liu Biao was also shocked when he heard the news of Liu Bei's victory. "Thank you for your hard work in Xianhe, you can go to the inn to rest first, and I will discuss with the generals immediately."
"Ming Gong, please make a decision quickly, this is a good opportunity." Jian Yong bowed his hand and said.
"Xianhe is here to go, and you will make a decision when you are young." Liu Biao said.
Jian Yong knew that the situation was urgent and had no intention of going to the inn, but waited outside the governor's mansion to wait for news.
Liu Biao immediately summoned the ministers to discuss, and Wen Pin had already sent back the news of Bo Wang.
Everyone in the hall was silent because Liu Bei's performance in this battle exceeded everyone's expectations.
Liu Biao threw a stone and asked the way: "Xiahou Dun was defeated by Xuande. If I raise an army to help him, Xu Du will be in danger. If Cao Mengde does not return to help, he may be able to rescue the emperor."
Cai Mao, who was prostitute Cao, did not dare to speak at this time. He was unwilling to send troops before because he advocated Cao Cao's strength. Now that Liu Bei defeated Xiahou Dun, he had no excuses.
At this time, Kuai Yue spoke, "If Liu Xuande breaks through Xudu, the emperor will reward him according to his merits, and the lord will definitely be inferior to him. The lord will help him achieve great achievements with the people of Jingzhou. Wouldn't it be a marriage for others?
Besides, Liu Bei was in Xinye, and recruited soldiers and horses. I heard that he had recently become a military advisor. How could Liu Bei stay under others for such a thing? Please think twice."
Liu Biao was always afraid of Liu Bei, but when Kuai Yue said this, he hesitated.
When Kuai Yue saw Liu Biao, he added fuel to his jealousy and said, "Liu Bei is a fierce tiger in the world. If he doesn't care about raising a tiger, he may hurt himself..."
"Brother-in-law, you can send me a message to Wen Zhongye to pretend to help, and then kill him by chance. Liu Bei's troubles will be relieved." Cai Mao took advantage of the situation and said.
"No, Liu Xuande can defeat Xiahou Dun. I think there must be a master in his army. Wen Zhongye may be hurt if he fails to kill the tiger. The lord can send someone to comfort him to weaken his heart, and then use a plan to slowly plan it." Kuai Yue said with a stroke of his beard.
"Why do you need to delay the Sun and Moon? If you don't believe in Wenpin, I can lead the army north to fight him together, and I will be able to capture and kill Liu Bei in one fell swoop." Cai Mao snorted coldly.
After hearing this, Liu Biao shook his head and said, "The words of different degrees are very good. Xuande and benevolent and righteous are all over the world. If Degui is really reckless and kills him, I will be criticized for harming the wise. It is better to slowly draw it..."
At this time, the guards came to report, and Yan Jianyong was still waiting outside the mansion.
Liu Biao ordered Kuai Yue: "Jian Xianhe is still waiting for news. You can go out to deal with it. Don't make him suspicious."
"Which." Kuai Yue stood up and responded.
Liu Bei was stationed in Ye County for several days. Liu Yan first came back to report Wenpin's attitude, but later Jian Yong returned and brought Liu Biao's excuse.
Liu Bei was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet: "How can such an opportunity be available in the future? How could Liu Jingsheng give up because Cai Mao was sick? Is there no other general in Xiangyang?"
Xu Shu shook his head and said, "I don't think it's because Cai Mao is sick, but Liu Biao deliberately refused to send troops. It seems that he is very afraid of his lord..."
"Then attack Xu Du and save the emperor..."
"How can you capture Xu Du with just over 10,000 troops? I think it's better to go back to Xinye..." Xu Shu persuaded.
Liu Bei frowned and said, "You can't always be controlled by others like this. When you go back, you'll still let Lan Ziyu expand its production. If you have food, you won't be afraid of not being able to recruit soldiers."
Xu Shu nodded and affirmed: "That's right."
The 400 military troops led by Gao Shun were stationed. Xinye was in good condition during this period and arrested several works who had sneaked into the city. After being severely tortured, he realized that it was Cai Mao's man.
After Liu Bei returned to Xinye, Gao Shun handed over to the city defense and Lantian to return to Dengjiazhuang again.
Faced with Cai Mao's full of malice, Liu Bei put the few people back, and he planned to convince people with virtue, which could also be considered as ease of his relationship with Liu Biao.
In May, Yuan Shao died of grief and vomited blood in Yecheng. His youngest son Yuan Shang inherited his position. His eldest son Yuan Tan occupied Qingzhou, his second son Yuan Xi occupied Youzhou, and his nephew Gao Gan occupied Bingzhou. The whole Hebei could no longer work together.
Liu Bei stood in Xinye and sighed, thinking that Yuan Benchu was still defeated by Cao Cao. His sons sooner or later defeated Hebei, and it would be even more difficult to defeat Cao Cao.
Lantian expanded production according to Liu Bei's intentions. Under his strong call, there were many followers. The number of people in the military farm expanded rapidly from less than a thousand to three thousand, which was faster than Liu Bei recruiting troops in Xinye.
