On July 20, the seventh year of Guanghe, Liu Xiang led 17,000 regular soldiers and 10,000 militiamen, claiming to be an army of 50,000, and sent troops to Guangyang.
Wang Xing, the captain of the left army, was in the lead, and Liu Xiang led the middle army behind him. The army marched straight to Jixian County in a mighty manner. They marched at dawn and stayed overnight all the way, placing more scouts to guard against sneak attacks by the enemy.
After marching for two days, they were still more than thirty miles away from Jixian County and encountered soldiers and horses from Zhuojun County.
Wang Xing sent people to report that Zhuojun soldiers and horses, under the banner of Liu, set up camp on the road to block the way of the army.
Liu Xiang led the guards to the front and saw a camp with a radius of less than three miles. Antlers were placed at the camp gate. The trench was not deep and the camp was not solidified. It seemed that the camp had been set up hastily.
There is a Liu Zi Ya flag in the camp, and there are only two or three thousand people watching the flag.
Liu Bei should be the leader.
Liu Xiang was very confused, what was Liu Bei's plan for setting up camp here? Zhuojun's army was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but he divided his troops to fight. What was the difference between this and surrendering to death?
Do you want to use a trick to lure the enemy? First, fake defeat for a while, lure me to chase, and then ambush our army?
Or, divide your troops to hold me back for a while, accelerate the attack from the rear, and capture Jixian before our army arrives?
Tiqi did not report any unusual movements in Ji County, and Liu Xiang had insufficient information to draw a conclusion.
He waved to Yan Gang and said, "Take someone to go around and inquire about the situation in Jixian County in detail, and report back as soon as possible."
"Wei." Yan Gang took the order and left.
Liu Xiang decided that no matter what the other party's intentions were, when the army gathered, he would give them a hard blow. If you dare to divide your troops, I will eat them.
The left army set up a formation and waited for the Chinese army to arrive and assemble. During this period, Liu Xiang suddenly wanted to prank Uncle Liu Huang.
He wrote a letter to Liu Bei.
The letter said: I am Liu Xiang, the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, the great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing, and a genus of Hou Zhi of Linyi. Because the court is fatuous, the officials are corrupt, and the people are suffering, I have raised an army to punish the people and punish the traitor Qingjun.
.The gentlemen opposite should be sensible and aware of current affairs, and jointly participate in grand events to bring order to the world.
After writing, he ordered people to shoot him into the camp.
Liu Xiang had a lot of time to wait for the troops to gather.
Liu Bei got the letter a little easier.
After King Jing of Zhongshan, the great-great-grandson of His Excellency Emperor Jing, this is the opening statement he talks about. This is how the two fierce generals around him were fooled, and now there is another fellow clan member?
This is to grab business.
The one who came is not kind!
Although the clan of the Han Dynasty has multiplied for four hundred years and has spread all over the country; although King Jing of Zhongshan is particularly fertile, with more than 120 recorded genera. However, this is the only way Liu Bei can rely on to improve his status. Now
Another one comes up, this is not okay, my colleagues are my enemies.
A fat little black man once said: "No matter what you do, you do it with the hope of death."
Liu Bei's heart was full of resentment, but he was a man of wealth, and his emotions were not above the level. He was a man who kept his emotions and anger intangible. It was absolutely impossible for outsiders to see his mood through his face.
Even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Enru's brothers, couldn't guess what he was thinking.
At this time, Guan Yu stabbed him in the heart.
Guan Yu also finished reading the letter and handed it to Zhang Fei while saying: "This Liu Xiang calls himself General Anping, and the Anping Army under his command is very powerful. Colonel Zou is often worried that the Anping Army will march westward and join the Yellow Turbans, and he does not expect that he is actually a member of the Han Dynasty.
My dear, those who want to raise an army to clear the emperor's side are not moths and thieves."
After reading the letter, Zhang Fei said: "He knows who he is. Let's destroy our Yellow Turbans to prevent him from doing anything. Since we can't defeat him anyway, we might as well let him pass. Mr. Zou asked us to die, so it's really
I want to kill him with a spear."
"Yide, don't talk nonsense." Liu Bei saw that Zhang Fei was getting more and more outrageous, so he quickly interrupted.
After he finished speaking, he looked outside the tent in case anyone heard him. These soldiers and horses were accompanied by army commanders, and Liu Bei could not fully control them.
Guan Yu also came to persuade him: "Yide is wrong. No matter what his name is, Liu Xiang is undoubtedly a rebel. We should not attack him. How can we let him pass through our military area?"
Zhang Fei said angrily: "The enemy's army is tens of thousands, and we only have two thousand soldiers and horses. Mr. Zou just wants us to die."
Liu Bei also felt bitter in his heart. He couldn't fight this battle. Anyway, he couldn't think of a good way. He worked hard to deceive two strong generals and recruited 300 volunteers. He originally wanted to join the army to suppress the bandits and make a living.
Unexpectedly, there is a powerful enemy like the Anping Army lying behind the Yellow Turban Moth Thief. What do the generals in the border counties do? There are so many armors and strong crossbows in vain? Zhuojun soldiers and horses do not have these weapons of war.
Since entering Guangyang, he has been worried every day, fearing that the Anping Army will advance westward.
Liu Xiang is also a bad guy. He just lets the yellow scarves dance around him. If you had wiped them out earlier, it would have been over. If you had known that there was an Ping army in the north, Zou Jing would not have dared to go north. He would not have followed him and suffered this every day.
kind of torture.
I remember when I first fought against the Yellow Turbans, I heard that the border troops from Shanggu and Yuyang counties went south to support the battle, and the whole army was very happy. Who would have thought that the Yuyang border troops feigned a shot, turned around and wiped out the Shanggu soldiers and horses, and I
He took people to the rescue, and almost told him to go in.
The power of the armored cavalry was still fresh in his memory.
At that time, Zhuojun's soldiers and horses were all ready to retreat. Unexpectedly, Yuyang's soldiers and horses, who claimed to be the Anping Army, turned around and went back.
Military glory is right in front of us, and the opportunity to make a successful career and stand out is right at hand. Who can resist it? Everyone has a lucky mentality, thinking of wiping out the Yellow Turbans quickly and getting the military glory first.
Now, the Anping army is advancing westward. Zou Jing sent him to stop this powerful army. How to stop it?
While Liu Bei was still suffering from himself, Liu Xiang had already arranged the battle formation.
The Tiqi swept away the scouts released by Zhuojun soldiers and horses, blocking the enemy's view.
The left army surrounded the west and south gates of the enemy's camp, leaving the north gate alone without attacking. The purpose of opening an exit was to reduce the enemy's will to resist, so as to prevent the enemy from being trapped and fighting.
Cui Yi led his cavalry and rode behind the enemy in a roundabout way, preparing to intercept and kill the defeated troops.
The Chinese army arrived at the east gate of the enemy's camp. The Shengsheng battalion held the position, the light chariot battalion marked the firing boundary, and the soldiers of the guard camp slowly approached the camp gate pushing the oar cart.
Liu Xiang ordered: "March with beating drums and capture the enemy camp."
The Chinese army's flag was fluttering, drums were beating loudly, light vehicles were firing, and the two battalions were advancing forward, taking the lead in launching an attack. Stone bullets and crossbow bolts flew down in an endless stream.
The soldiers defending the gate and wall of the camp were killed and injured. Their armor rate was too low and they had few heavy shields. They were unable to fight back in the face of intensive long-range attacks.
The soldiers guarding the camp advanced quickly, pulled back the antlers, knocked open the camp door, toppled the wall, and pushed their way into the enemy camp.
The Shesheng Battalion then followed up and continued to suppress the enemy. Light vehicles were deployed outside the camp to assist the left army in attacking the camp.
The troops were not strong and the camp was not solid, so why did he dare to block it? Until he defeated the enemy and occupied the camp, Liu Xiang did not understand what Zou Jing's intention was in dividing his troops.
Wang Xing was ordered to gather the prisoners and clean the battlefield, and Liu Xiang led five hundred guards to pursue Liu Bei.
Liu Bei ran very fast. As soon as the camp gate was broken, he led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to break out of the encirclement eastward, followed by five or six hundred people.
Seeing that they were the first to escape, the other defenders followed suit. The Anping Army did not encounter fierce resistance and successfully occupied the camp. If the guard camp had not advanced too fast and cut off most of the defenders' retreat, this camp might have really
There are only a few people left.
Liu Xiang estimated that there were thousands of people fleeing, and there were seven to eight hundred who followed Liu Bei.
It would be better for these people to stay. Liu Xiang was very hospitable and he wanted to catch up with the guests to retain them.
Especially the red-faced one and the black-faced one.
