Chapter 296: Splitting Nanlou with force
From the Si Tang Temple, the heroic spirit resides, with the mighty Qinglong Yanyue Sword. ----------Anonymous "Qi Jue Feelings about Guan Yu"
It is said that Gongsun Zan and Tian Yu led the battle in Jizhou. They first attacked Julu but failed, and then succeeded in attacking Zhending Mansion. The defender Chunyu Qiong made a desperate move and fled Handan alone. Gongsun Zan returned to Julu, but Wen Chou's reinforcements could not break through Zhou Ang's defense line, so they moved to the Cangzhou front line. They wanted to join Tian Feng and Qu Yi in Cangzhou and then attack Yuyang and Jixian, Gongsun Zan's hometown in Youzhou.
The people on both sides circulated like a revolving lantern, causing hardship to the people of Zhending and Julu. Gongsun Zan was cruel and the people complained incessantly. Fortunately, Tian Yu helped to calm down and the situation did not get out of control.
Since Julu and Zhending were lost, Handan and Yecheng were shaken. Yuan Shao ordered a comprehensive defense. At the same time, Zhao Yanliang's army quickly returned to rescue, and Kong Rong's Beihai siege was finally resolved. But Kong Rong had just retreated for a month. The ambitious Cao Cao saw Yuan Shao withdrawing his troops and took advantage of the opportunity. He led his own army from the Yanzhou area. His lieutenants were the arrogant generals Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan, as well as his advisers Xun Yu and Mao Jie. , Cheng Yu, and the accompanying guards will be the eldest son Cao Ang and Dian Wei. Although Cao Cao has few soldiers, his generals are all of excellent quality. There are soldiers everywhere. They are a little more disciplined than Yan Liang's troops. They are indeed a well-trained team. Poor Beihai Kong Rong, he just got a chance to breathe, but he was targeted by Cao Cao, the tiger, and he was already dying. Only Taishi Ci understood that although Longzhu tried to get Yuan Shao to withdraw from the siege, he was unable to stop Cao Cao's invasion. Holding tight was not an option, so he simply packed up his clothes, disguised himself as a businessman and left Huang County, heading north to Yuyang to find Longzhu.
Chen Long, who transformed into a dragon ball, was currently fighting fiercely with Liu Guan and Zhang, and had been stationed in the suburbs of Zhang Yuan. There was little information here, and battle reports were occasionally sent over. When Chen Long watched them, he knew that Liu Yu's troops were invading Wucheng. It happened that Liu Bei invited him to discuss the rescue of Zou Dan in Wucheng, so Chen Long took Zhou Buji and held a military meeting with Liu Guan and Zhang for the first time.
Liu Bei had been around for many years. His military strength was weak and he did not have strong reserves or wealthy bosses to support him. He only relied on his uncle's name to accumulate some reputation. Gongsun Zan is completely a loser here. Even the military deployment and Liu Bei's three thousand men are dispensable. Liu Bei originally hoped that Long Zhu, as Xu Jing's disciple, could do more publicity for him, but looking at his miserable state, even he was embarrassed to go out and brag.
Liu Bei spoke first at the meeting: "Mr. Long, look at the battle report. Liu Yu's army surrounded Wucheng, Zou Dan defended it hard, and the lord is attacking Jizhou again. The matter is already very critical. Although my strength here is small, There are tens of thousands of enemies like Guan Zhang, how do you think we should rescue Governor Zou Dan?"
Chen Long pointed at Zhou Buyi and said with a smile: "In terms of military acumen, I can't keep up with this little brother. His name is Long Zhou. He learned the art of war from a famous teacher since he was young. You might as well listen to his opinions." Liu Guan and Zhang met Zhou. Bu Yi, who was fat and unattractive and very young, looked disbelieving. Guan Yu, who was arrogant and proud, raised his red face and looked at Zhou Bu Yi with squinting eyes.
Zhou Busuo thought to himself, one look at you three brothers and you've never seen what it means to be a good military advisor. So he stood up, neither humble nor overbearing, and said with his hands raised: "Liu Yu's hundred thousand troops from western Liaoning came with a fierce force. They first captured Rongcheng and then Klutai. Wuhuan General Tadun captured Gubeikou, and Juyong Pass guard Wangmen surrendered. Zhang Ji, Sun and his wife successively After losing Pingzhou and Yingzhou, they had nowhere to escape, so they had to surrender to Liu Yu. Zou Dan's troops had been defending Wucheng for a long time, but they had run out of fuel and supplies, and were unable to fight anymore. Fortunately, Gongsun Fan led 50,000 troops back. Aiding Wucheng saved Zou Dan, and at the same time cut off the communication between Wucheng and Juyong."
"Nowadays, around Hongshan, Liu Yu's hometown, it is said that troops from Liaodong County have appeared one after another, under the banner of Gongsun Du. I don't know whether it is true or not. Hongshan is Liu Yu's only base, so Liu Yu was newly defeated and trapped in the isolated city. , the soldiers have no fighting spirit and the chance of returning to their hometown to help is very high.”
"So, if we want to make meritorious deeds, we must find ways to help Gongsun Fan fight and beat up Liu Yu."
Liu Bei's eyes lit up after hearing Zhou Buyi's analysis, and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. I have always dreamed of finding a strategist willing to assist me. I heard people say: Wolong or Fengxia, whoever wins one can conquer the world. Isn't the Dragon Zhou in front of me the dragon and the phoenix among living people?
Liu Bei's eyes immediately became ambiguous when he looked at Zhou Buyi, as if he was sleeping with Long Zhou in a lustful state. Sleeping together is Liu Bei's usual method. Anyone he likes, Liu Bei can't wait to drag him to his bed.
Zhou Buyi was such a sensitive person, and instantly felt goosebumps on his forehead. He couldn't help but gasp when he saw Liu Bei staring at him with a smile on his face and swallowing his saliva. He rolled his eyes and continued: "If we want to send troops to ambush, we must choose Liu Yu's most likely return route. I think the most likely ones are Chicheng County and Fengning County between Wucheng and Hongshan." Zhou Bu As he spoke, he dipped his brush in water on the table and drew a sketch. The military positions were clearly visible.
Guan and Zhang were stunned. They were obsessed with martial arts, but they didn't have the military qualities and brains to plan a war. Zhou Bujie continued: "Now that Liu Yu has been defeated, it is indeed a good opportunity to take advantage. If I had to choose, if Liu Yu fled a little further, the army would be more lax and morale would be even lower. Attacking at this time will get twice the result with half the effort. So, If you want to send troops, it is better to choose Fengning County."
After Zhou Buyi finished speaking clearly, he glanced at Liu Bei for the last time and said: "Uncle Liu Huang, it's a pity that your soldiers are too few. Although you have a good plan, the number is too small and the strength is insufficient. If the enemy counterattacks, it will easily fall into crisis." . I think it’s better to tell Governor Zou Dan and General Gongsun Fan about this and let them send troops. We can just sit back and watch.”
When Liu Bei heard Long Zhou's disdain, his veins twitched and he almost jumped up and went into a rage. He immediately held back and said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs! How can you develop and grow without fighting? Today, my three brothers will prepare according to Mr. Long Zhou's instructions and fight a classic battle in which less will defeat more. Show it to sir!"
A few days later, a group of light cavalry set off from Zhangyuan, climbed mountains and waded in rivers, and set off towards Fengning County. There are only about 2,500 people in this light cavalry, and the leaders are Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. The three of them are all covered in armor, each riding a horse, and in their hands are the weapons for which they are famous. In the past few days, Liu Bei had been pestering Zhou Buji, with the purpose of asking Zhou Buji to point out a base for him that was sufficient to establish a foothold. Zhou Buyi couldn't be bothered by him and reluctantly replied: "With the emperor's kindness, how can he lose to Liu Yu? I think Liu Yu's current Hongshan is suitable for the emperor to train troops." Liu Bei was overjoyed and worked harder on his plan. Set out for the expedition and discussed privately with Guan and Zhang, intending to annihilate Liu Yu and seize Hongshan as a stronghold.
After Liu Bei went on the expedition, Longzhu took his family and stationed in Zhangyuan. After Zhen Mi was settled, he and Lu Chang secretly led a hundred special forces members and followed Liu Guanzhang's troops. According to Zhou Buyi's idea, Liu Guan and Zhang would definitely be defeated. Chen Long's goal was to find an opportunity to capture Guan and Zhang and continue his plan to eliminate Liu Bei.
The area around Hongshan, Liu Yu's hometown, was indeed Gongsun Du's vanguard. After Liu Yu heard the accurate news, he led his troops out of Youzhou at night, intending to return to Hongshan to defend his home base, but was blocked by Gongsun Zan and Ji Yong's soldiers. Gongsun Zan's rescue troops had already arrived, and the two sides fought a battle, each with heavy casualties and retreating troops.
In October, Liu Yu once again led his troops out of Youzhou at night, intending to go to Tanzhou in order to open up a passage north to Wuhuan. Zou Dan led an attack from Zhuozhou and defeated Liu Yu's army. General Qi Zhou fled back with only a hundred cavalry. His officers saw that the situation was over, and Gongsun Zan surrendered one after another. Liu Yu was trapped in the isolated city, unable to do anything, and could only wait for Wu Huan Tadun and others to come to rescue. Unexpectedly, Tadun was blocked in Xinglong County by Gongsun Fan's troops and could not get through at all for a while.
When Liu Yu was in dire straits, fortunately Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin from Yuyang finally attacked and gathered more than ten thousand people to attack Zou Dan. At this time, all the troops were busy returning to Ji County, the control center. The siege of Wucheng was solved. Liu Yu led the remaining soldiers and fled straight to Chicheng County. To the northeast of Chicheng County was Fengning County.
Fengning County is located at the northern foot of Yanshan Mountain and the southern edge of the Inner Mongolia Plateau. The terrain increases in a stepped manner from southeast to northwest, and is divided into three geomorphological units: under the dam, connecting the dam, and above the dam. Below the dam, there are endless mountains and criss-crossing river valleys; the peaks connected to the dam are high, the valleys are deep, and the trees are lush; above the dam, the sky is wide and the sky is high, creating a grassland scenery.
Liu Guanzhang's troops were lurking in a jungle connecting the dam. Outside the jungle was the only way for Liu Yu's defeated troops to pass. In the evening, scattered cavalry appeared first. Apparently, the cavalry escaped much faster than the infantry. Liu Bei watched nervously as more and more defeated troops passed by, but he never made up his mind to attack.
A group of infantry appeared at the end of the road. The group was crooked and it seemed that Liu Bei's ambush was not discovered at all. The leading general was actually wearing a golden helmet and golden armor. The hair of the white war horse seemed to be shining in the sunset. It was really a good horse. Liu Bei's eyes lit up. He could ride such a war horse and wear such a golden helmet and armor. Could it be that he was Liu Yu?
The white horse gradually approached. Liu Bei found that this man was younger and ruled out the possibility that he was Liu Yu. However, he was undoubtedly an important figure in the Liaoxi Army. Liu Guan and Zhang looked at each other. The brothers were already connected. As soon as they mentioned the war horse, The three horses neighed at the same time, and each led their team to rush out of the forest.
The one wearing a golden helmet and golden armor is Nanlou, one of the three kings of Wuhuan. In this expedition, he only brought one Wuhuan infantry and mixed it into Liu Yu's troops going south. The rest of the Wuhuan soldiers followed Tadun in the East Route Army. Now that Liu Yu was defeated and retreated, Nanlou also led the troops and was sandwiched between the cavalry led by Liu He and Liu Yu's army. On this day, they just retreated outside Fengning County.
As they were retreating in a hurry, they suddenly heard the neighing of war horses in the dense forest next to them, followed by a cry of killing like the earth was shattering. An unknown number of troops came out from one side and instantly cut their own troops into several pieces.
Nanlou was in a hurry, commanding his troops to meet the enemy, but he forgot to hide his body, and he happened to become the enemy's biggest target. Nan Lou only felt the green light flickering vaguely in the corner of his eyes. When he raised his eyes, he saw a fast horse has arrived in front of him. There was a person sitting on the horse, wearing a green shirt, a green turban on his head, a black and shiny beard and With his chest, silkworm eyebrows and red phoenix eyes, he looked majestic and dignified. He had never seen such a heroic figure before. He was stunned for a moment. He only heard the sound of wind above his head and screamed secretly. When he looked up, a voice came out. The unparalleled and beautiful sword light lit up, and the fiery red sunset seemed to be refracted into his eyes. Suddenly, his eyes were filled with red, and he was almost half-blind. Nanlou yelled, and when he hurriedly raised the three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand to resist, he was already a split second away. It was too late to say that, but it was so fast. The Qinglong Moonlight Saber flashed with the beautiful and beautiful sunlight, and slashed open with a pop. The golden armor on Nanlou's shoulders was carried diagonally across his shoulders, cutting Nanlou into two pieces. Poor King Wuhuan, who didn't even know who his opponent was, died like this. There is a poem from later generations that sighs:
Hanging the seal and sealing it with gold, he said goodbye to the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, looking for his brother to return from afar.
The horse rides the red rabbit and travels a thousand miles, and the sword cuts the blue dragon across the five passes.
Loyalty rushes to the universe, and heroes shake the country from then on.
A man who kills a general alone should be invincible, leaving an inscription in ancient and modern times.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
