The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 388

These days, following Liu Bian in various battles, Song Ran was tortured, which made Song Ran feel physically and mentally happy.Guo Jianxiu is not a hard-nosed person, but just cutting off one of his ears made him capable of anything.

It turned out that Wang Fan only asked him to lead people to retake Xiaojiehe. He did not expect that there were many officers and soldiers, as well as twelve heavy artillery.He thought about setting up camp, making food and resting for the night, and then see the strength of the army tomorrow before deciding whether to attack.

Unexpectedly, he was caught off guard by the officers and soldiers. His subordinates were all bandits. It was okay to fight against the wind, but there was really nothing he could do about it against the wind.

Now he himself just wants to live on, like beans poured out of a bamboo tube, telling all the information he knows.

He was dragged by Song Ran to Liu Bian, knelt on the ground and said, "General, spare your life!"

Seeing his appearance, Liu Bian said, "Tell me everything you know."

"Yes, there are still 50 defenders in Langya City. They are all rebellious officers and soldiers from all over Qingzhou. Wang Fan sent the army out secretly to Lu County to help the Kong family stabilize the situation. Now Shi Xinghe has been captured, and his troops Tens of thousands of people were also captured, and now the Kong family and Shi Yuansi have no less than [-] troops, and they are already on their way to Langya again."

"I know all these things, let me tell you something I don't know." Liu Bian interrupted him, wanting him to talk more about Wang Fan's next plan.

Kneeling on the ground, Guo Jianxiu continued: "Wang Fan just asked me to recapture the Xiaojie River to make way for the troops returning to aid.

He wanted to eat up Wei Liang's new army and Zhang Chenghua's army, and then personally lead his elite troops to attack the officers and soldiers of the Blackwater Protectorate.

With the Bohai Navy in the bag, you can go straight to Zhigu and Gaizhou, and then you can divide the army, eat up the land, and shake the foundation of the Han Dynasty. "

"What a big ambition, and I'm not afraid of being overwhelmed. What else?" Liu Bian said with a sneer.

Guo Jianxiu shook his head and said: "No, that's all I know. Wang Fan looks down on us people from the green forest. This is what I heard when I was waiting for his summons outside the door. Otherwise, he wouldn't let me do this. People of this status know this."

Liu Bian did not doubt that Guo Jianxiu would lie to him again, after all, this was indeed the best choice.Once the Heishui Protectorate can be captured, the royal family will have coal and iron resources, and then sweep the Xiongnu, robbing horses and livestock, and can become a new Xiongnu, ravaging the hinterland of the big man.

At that time, Chang'an will be under their blade. After all, they are not the Huns. They have a strong cultural background and weapons and equipment that cross the ages.

Liu Bian was very calm in his heart. He didn't take Wang Fan seriously at all. He was just a idiot, and Wang Xiang was not that strong.Although the situation in Qingzhou seems to be tilted towards the Wang family now, Liu Bian can turn the tide of the war at any time as long as he is willing.

He didn't pay much attention to this battle at all, he just wanted to delay for some time and let the Kong family and the Wang family join forces.In this way, once Li Cunxiao's 15 troops arrive, he can go to Yangzhou, and his ultimate goal is Xuzhou.

The rebels there are the most powerful, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are Liu Bian's strongest enemies since he founded the country.After all, he has always been a semi-industrial country beating an agricultural country, and now most of the arsenals he relies on for survival have fallen into the hands of the enemy, and the armed rebels have given Liu Bian a headache.

Seeing that Guo Jianxiu had no information, Liu Bian winked at Song Ran, who broke Guo Jianxiu's neck and called two soldiers to carry him away.

"Blow up the bridge of the Xiaojie River, let's go to Nanling." Liu Bian urged the horse to leave, and Di Cang bowed his hand and gave him a gift.

The two stone bridges on the Xiaojie River were built very solidly, but were as fragile as tofu in the face of gunpowder.Fearing that the rebels would use the large section of bridge deck that fell into the river to build a bridge again, Di Cang asked his men to blow up the rocks in the river again.

After finishing all this, he took his own men to chase Liu Bian.Liu Bian and Du Yu stood on the slope and watched the cavalry chase and kill the fleeing rebels. When they saw Di Cang approaching, they pointed to Du Yu and said, "General Du will take 2 people to stay in Langya, let's go to Nanling. "

"Yes!"

This was the first time that Di Cang got close to Du Yu. He said excitedly: "General Du, I have heard of your name a long time ago. General Di Cang, I admire you very much."

Hearing Di Cang's words, Du Yu grinned and said, "You don't have to be so polite. As long as you are a big man and serve His Majesty wholeheartedly, then he is my Du Yu's brother."

They bumped fists and greeted each other, Du Yu took out a knife from his waist and handed it to Di Cang: "I captured this from the Huns, it is said that it is the saber of the military official Shanyu, I hope you can use it well. "

Di Cang quickly refused, because he did not have the same level of gift in return.

Seeing that Di Cang refused to accept it, Du Yu put the knife into his hand: "Take good care of General Liu, please!"

Looking at Du Yu's solemn expression, Di Cang drew out his sword and said: "As long as the general is still alive, he will protect General Liu."

Patting Di Cang on the shoulder, Du Yu and Liu Bian resigned, and continued to march north with their men.According to the map marked by Guo Jianxiu, there is a forage field of the rebels in the north, and he is going to set fire there to create opportunities for Liu Bian to go to Nanling.

When Du Yu arrived and left with his cavalry, Liu Bian also called on everyone to march south, hoping to reach Nanling quickly.That is behind the Wubao Group at the junction of Pingqu and Langya. Only by occupying it can Wei Liang's troops gain time to retreat.

Otherwise, it won't be long before Wei Liang's troops will be wiped out by the main force of the Xuzhou rebels going north.Such a loss was too great for Liu Bian to bear.

"Get ready to fight!" Seeing a group of cavalry in rebel uniforms appearing in front of him, Di Cang hurriedly called his men to prepare for battle.The rebels seemed to have noticed them, and turned their horses to run away.

Before they ran far, they were overtaken by the cavalry of the officers and soldiers and surrounded in the low-lying area.

Di Cang pointed at them and shouted: "Dismount and surrender, I will spare your life!"

The rebels put down their weapons very cooperatively, got off their horses, and knelt on the ground.

"Who's in the lead?"

"I am. We are here to join the general, and we don't want to rebel." The leader said.

Di Cang was taken aback by his words, and asked someone to invite Liu Bian to take a look.

After learning that Liu Bian was the main general, the leading man knelt on the ground: "General, we are the people of Pingqu. We took up our swords and guns only when we were coerced by the Wang family. Now that we heard that you are coming to recover Pingqu, we came here to vote."

"How did you escape from the rebel camp?" Liu Bian asked.

The man said: "The villain Hu Chuan, the people from Pingqu Qingyakou, these are our fellow villagers from ten miles and eight villages. We did not enter their camp because we can ride horses, so let us deliver the news to them."
