Feeling a little awkward, Liu Bei added: "Have you ever heard Gaozu's words evaluating the counselor Zhang Liang, plan and win a thousand miles away? The two younger brothers must abide by the orders."
Zhang Fei naturally felt unconvinced and left after sneering.
Guan Yu said: "Let's see if his plan is fulfilled first. If it doesn't work, it's not too late to come and ask for a crime."
After the two left, the other generals were not familiar with Kong Ming and did not know what kind of ability Kong Ming had. Although he followed the order, he was very suspicious.
Kong Ming said to Liu Bei: "My lord can bring his troops to the foot of Bowang Mountain today. When the next day, the enemy will arrive. At that time, the lord must leave the camp. As long as he sees the fire, he will return to the army immediately. To cover up and kill, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, and I, and Mi Fang, took five hundred soldiers to guard Xinye."
After everyone left, Kong Ming ordered Sun Gan and others to prepare for the celebration banquet and arrange everyone's credit for waiting for distribution. After all these were completed, Liu Bei himself was actually very suspicious.
Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin's troops soon arrived at Bowangpo, and half of the elite troops were divided into front, and the rest escorted the supplies and food behind them.
It was autumn and the weather was a little cool. As the people were marching, they suddenly saw dust in front of them.
Xiahou Dun pushed the troops away and asked the official who was directing him, "Where is this place?"
He replied: "This is Bowang City, and behind it is Luo Chuankou."
Xiahou Dun ordered Yu Jin and Li Dian to guard the horns and go forward in person. When he saw the army coming from afar, Xiahou Dun suddenly burst into laughter.
Everyone asked, "Why did the general suddenly laugh?"
Reply: "I laughed at Xu Shu in front of the Prime Minister and praised Zhuge Liang as a celestial being. I see him using troops now. Using such troops as the vanguard to fight against us is like a flock of sheep entering the mouth of a tiger! I praise him in front of the Prime Minister Going to Haikou, you want to capture Liu Bei alive, Zhuge Liang will soon be realized." After saying that, he led his troops forward and soon saw Zhao Yun and cursed: "You guys follow Liu Bei, just like ghosts following ghosts !”
When Zhao Yun heard the other party insulting him, he came to fight with a gun. After less than several rounds, Zhao Yun pretended that he was not strong enough and was defeated and fled.
Xiahou Dun chased after him, Zhao Yun fled for more than 30 miles, then turned around to fight Xiahou Dun, fought for a while, and ran away in front.
Seeing this situation, Han Hao hurriedly stepped forward and called Xiahou Dun, reminding him: "Zhao Yun is luring the enemy into the depths, and I'm afraid there will be an ambush."
Xiahou Dun said: "Even if such an unbearable enemy is ambushed on all sides, what's there to be afraid of?" He didn't listen to Han Hao's advice and rushed to Bowangpo quickly.
Suddenly, with a cannon, Liu Bei rushed out with his troops and began to respond to the battle.
Xiahou Dun mocked Han Hao and said, "Look there, is it the so-called ambushing soldiers? I won't kill to Xinye tonight, and I swear not to withdraw the troops!" So he continued to move forward with his troops, Liu Bei and Zhao Yun retreated and left, At that time, the sky began to darken, with thick clouds and no moonlight. There was a strong wind at night, and it became heavier and louder. Xiahou Dun felt very relaxed and did not notice these details at all, just urging the troops to advance.
Everyone came to a very narrow place with reeds on both sides. Li Dian said to the monarch: "Those who deceive the enemy will definitely fail. The south road is very narrow, with mountains and rivers intersecting, and trees are mixed. If the other party attacks with fire, then it should What should I do?"
Yu Jin nodded and said, "You are right. I want to rush forward to tell the governor that you can stop the troops behind you and stop moving forward."
Li Dian stopped and shouted, "Don't move forward in the army behind!" However, the large army was walking forward, the road was narrow, and there could be stopped at any time.
Yu Jin rode his horse to Xiahou Dun and shouted: "Stop the former governor!"
Xiahou Dun was rushing forward. When he saw Yu Jin running from behind, he asked about the reason. Yu Jin said: "The south road is narrow, with mountains and rivers and trees mixed. We must prevent others from attacking with fire."
Xiahou Dun woke up and immediately ordered to push it back. Before he finished speaking, he heard the shouts behind him and saw some fires coming, igniting all the reeds around him. For a moment, there were fires everywhere, and it was just as windy.
Big, the fire is very fierce.
There were countless Cao's army trampling on each other. Zhao Yun immediately returned to cover the killing, and Xiahou Dun fled in thick smoke and fire.
Li Dian, who was behind, saw that something was wrong, hurriedly fled to Bowang City. Suddenly, an enemy army appeared in the fire. Guan Yu was the leader. After Li Dian fought, he searched for a small way to escape.
When Yu Jin saw the food and supplies, his supplies were burned by fire, he had to escape to the small path.
Xiahou Lan and Han Hao all came to rescue the food and grass, and happened to meet Zhang Fei. After fighting for less than several rounds, Zhang Fei assassinated Xiahou Lan on the horse with one shot.
Han Hao struggled to escape and fought until the next day before he conquered the army. The road was covered with corpses and blood flowed into a river.
Xiahou Dun had no choice but to dismantle the remaining troops and return to Xuchang.
After Kong Ming conquered the army, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei reached a consensus and sighed: "Kong Ming is really a talent!"
After walking for less than a few miles, Mi Fang saw Mi Zhu and the soldiers pushing a small car. There was a person sitting in the car. It was Kong Ming.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came forward and bowed, their faces full of shame.
Not long after, Liu Bei, Zhao Yun and others returned one after another, gathered everyone, distributed all the intercepted food and grass to the soldiers, and returned to Xinye.
The people of Xinye bowed to the direction of the dust and said, "We can be safe because of the virtuous power of Liu Jun!"
Kong Ming returned to the county and said to Liu Bei: "Although Xiahou Dun failed and left, Cao Cao would definitely bring his army to attack Xinye in person."
Liu Bei said: "If so, what should we do?"
Kong Ming said: "I have an idea to solve this problem."
Liu Bei immediately asked what the method was. Kong Ming replied: "Xinye is a small county town and cannot live for a long time. Recently, I heard that Liu Biao is seriously ill. We can take this opportunity to take Jingzhou as a place to settle down. So
We have the capital to confront Cao Cao.”
Liu Bei sighed: "Your idea is very good, but I have received the favor of Liu Biao, how can I plot against him?"
Kong Ming said: "If we don't take Jingzhou over now, we will definitely regret it!"
Liu Bei was very angry and said, "I wouldn't want to do such ungrateful things even if I die."
Kong Ming shook his head and said, "Then I can only think of other ways!"
After leaving, Kong Ming thought of Yu Yi's letter. He advised Liu Bei at least twice. The plot against Jingzhou was the basis of hegemony, but the other party just couldn't get in.
