Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 251 Ambush from All Sides
For a long time after Liu He left, no one had eaten the roasted rabbit. It was placed in front of the bonfire, and everyone looked at it blankly, only hearing the sound of firewood cracking from time to time.

After a long time, a slightly older veteran finally moved, and said in a hoarse voice: "Brothers, this is an order... It is also the king's will, we will not let us down!"

"That's right, we can't disobey orders, let alone disappoint the king's heart!"

The other person suddenly laughed, picked up the rabbit and roasted it on the fire for a while, then shared a piece for each of them, and everyone took it silently.

"Eat it!" The man stuffed the meat into his mouth, but he didn't taste anything, but his heart was sore, tears filled his eyes, and he quickly lowered his head.

Everyone else did the same, swallowing the meat one after another, some lowered their heads and wiped their tears, and some simply slept on the grass with their heads in their arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

The moon was in the middle of the sky, and the soldiers by the lake began to get ready to go. Zhang Fei led his horse to Liu He and said in a low voice: "General, the news that you let the roast rabbit eat spread to the whole camp last night. Everyone is very moved to see how sympathetic the general is to the soldiers." , all of them are high-spirited and ready to fight!"

Liu He smiled lightly and said: "Yide, look at ordinary soldiers, they are so easy to be satisfied, as long as the superiors show a little care, they can die. You have to keep this in mind, and you must never beat or scold soldiers."

"Understand, understand, I understand!"

Under Lu Zhi's teaching and Liu He's constant reminders, Zhang Fei also changed a lot. In the army, he often drank and played with soldiers and taught martial arts, which made Liu He very pleased.

"General, your way of buying people's hearts is brilliant!" At this moment, Zhang Fei suddenly sighed again: "Just this move is enough for me to learn for a lifetime."

"Yide, what do you mean by that?" Liu He glared, "I really care about my subordinates, only in this way can we be united as one, united as one!"

"Hey, I was the one who said it too bluntly!" Zhang Fei chuckled and said in a low voice, "Now that I think about it, the general went to Zhuo County to buy meat at my butcher's shop, and he deliberately found fault, didn't he?"

"You!" Liu He pointed at Zhang Fei, really couldn't say anything this time, he shook his head helplessly and said: "That's not to see you as a hero, you have a heart of love for talents, we have never met before, that's why we came here. The worst policy."

Zhang Fei patted his chest and laughed loudly: "Actually, if it wasn't for my teacher's order, I would have gone to the battlefield a long time ago. As long as the general has a word, Lao Zhang will go with you."

"Doesn't that make you lose value?" Liu He said with a smile, "For you and Yun Chang, I have worked so hard!"

Zhang Fei was taken aback, but Liu He had already got on his horse and urged the horse to gather in front of the army.

Zhang Fei and Dian Wei followed behind Liu He. Seeing that his white Zheng robe was dirty and wrinkled under the moonlight, they sighed, "Xiao Dian, how lucky we are to have met a virtuous lord?"

Dian Wei nodded silently, then suddenly said: "You are not my opponent, so please don't call me Xiao Dian, it's better to call me Xiao Dian."

Zhang Fei stared and shouted: "Just wait, one day Lao Zhang will defeat you and call you Xiao Dian!"

The moon was shining like water, Hua Xiong led the way, and the whole army set off again. Liu He found that all the soldiers had a new look, and even their eyes seemed to have changed. Unexpectedly, such an unintentional move would have such a big effect.

The people and horses walked quietly on the mountain road. When they entered Fajiu Mountain, the morning fog was gradually dissipating. The leaves in the forest were colorful and the sky was blue. Dawn was about to break. This was the time he had calculated.

At this time, the sky was not completely bright yet, Hua Xiong entered the Lugu Mountain first, this valley is not tall and precipitous, surrounded by gentle slopes, and the cliffs in the distance are hundreds of feet high, the only way to ambush is in the surrounding woods .

Just about two miles into the valley, suddenly a bandit army ambushed out, and the sound of killing sounded, Zhang Fei immediately led Yan Yunqi to rush forward.

There were about 3000 bandit troops, they rushed out from the dense forest, and rushed up bravely. Zhang Fei and Hua Xiong led the troops, like two angry dragons tossing in the stormy waves, rushing from left to right, killing people on their backs, screaming again and again .

Seeing that they couldn't hold back, the rebel army fled in all directions. They continued to walk deep into the valley, and encountered three or four bandits in ambush to intercept them. They were all killed by Zhang Fei and Hua Xiong. The sky was dark and the ground was dark, and corpses were everywhere.

Liu He led his troops to continue to go deep, and finally reached the hinterland of Lugu Mountain. At this time, more than [-] soldiers had been lost, but none of the soldiers retreated timidly. Instead, their blood was boiling and their fighting spirit was high.

All the fog dissipated, the sky was clear, and the east was bright. Liu He suddenly felt a wave of heat go through his body. The sleepiness and hunger for days subsided temporarily, and the strange power appeared in his body again.

He brought Dian Wei forward and said to Zhang Fei and Zhang Fei who were covered in blood, "Yide, you stay in the middle, let me and Ei open the way."

This is a well-discussed tactic, the four of them charge alternately, so that they can recover their physical strength in time and ensure that they will have the strength to fight in a dangerous situation.

Just as the whole team was about to fight up a low slope in front, they suddenly saw banners fluttering in front of them, and a group of people and horses poured out, covering the entire hillside densely, and their shouts were loud.

"Yang Feng?" Liu He saw the character Yang on the flag, and guessed that Yang Feng, the leader of the bandit, had appeared.

"Hahaha, Liu He boy, this Lugu Mountain is your burial place!" A general rode his horse and stood on the top of the slope, pointing his sword at the soldiers in the valley and laughing proudly.

Liu He snorted coldly, urged him to take two steps forward, and said in a deep voice, "Yang Feng, if you find your way back now, I will ignore the previous suspicions and guarantee that you will make great achievements. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it when you die."

"Hahaha, what a big tone!" The person who came was Yang Feng. He was observing on a high slope and saw that Liu He had less than three thousand troops. Boss Zhang Niujiao, today I, Yang Feng, will avenge the big boss!"

"Vengeance, revenge!"

All the black bandits raised their weapons and shouted, and there were responses from all directions in an instant, resounding through the valley.

Liu He turned around abruptly, and saw countless rebel troops pouring out of the forest on the surrounding hillsides.

It seems that the ambush just now was just a bait, and it was also to consume their physical strength and combat power. At this time, the ambush came out again, and it was a dilemma.

Seeing the bandits surrounding them, Zhang Fei hurried forward: "General, the bandits have already set up an ambush here, and the siege can only be broken by killing Yang Feng first."

"That's right!" Liu He stared at Yang Feng coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins, but we have to break the boat. The five of us each lead a team of horses to charge and kill. We can't ask the bandits to make dumplings. If the losses are too heavy , and then try to break through!"

Zhang Fei was not afraid, and said with a sneer, "For Lao Zhang, the more bandits the better."

Liu He's eyes froze slightly, he gritted his teeth and said, "So, leave Yang Feng to me and Dian Wei, and the three of you will take care of the bandits around."

"Hahaha, it is said that Liu He is good at using troops, and I don't think so!" Yang Feng laughed proudly on the horse, pointed at Liu He and shouted: "Liu He, I have 3 horses. This time... I See how you rush past my ambush."

Without waiting for Liu He to reply, he raised the command flag, and immediately the bandit army on the hillside divided into three teams, fanning down the hillside in a fan shape, outflanking Liu He.

At the same time, the minions on the left and right also waved their command flags, and the bandit army ambushing around rushed out together, rushing towards the officers and soldiers in the valley like a stormy sea.
