Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

"promise!"

Lu Bu looked at Cao Xing and asked, "How are the cavalry shields prepared?"

"Twenty thousand copies have been prepared!"

"Zhang Liao, Zhang Yang, Hao Meng, the three of you lead [-] cavalry to Youzhou to take revenge. So what if he, Gongsun Zan, can ride and shoot. My soldiers not only know how to ride and shoot, but also have shields!"

"promise!"

Lu Bu's idea was learned from the Qiang people. Qiang cavalry equipped with swords and shields can effectively resist part of the arrows.

And the speed is much faster than that of heavy cavalry, which is very suitable for raid operations.

Lu Bu looked at the few people unkindly, and reminded: "If you lose again this time, you will come and see me!"

"promise!"

The three men led the army to Banshi, and the three thousand soldiers stationed in Beipingyi had long since fled.

The people of Dai County were all transferred to Jizhou by Cao Shuo. Except for the city guards, there were not many civilians here. If there were no troops stationed here, they would not need guards at all.

When the enemy comes, fight if you can beat it, and run away if you can't beat it. Anyway, there is nothing to gain.

Hao Meng watched the enemy fleeing in embarrassment, and said contemptuously, "This is too embarrassing."

Zhang Liao explained: "There are not many people in Dai County anymore. Of course they don't need to stick to it, but this also reminds us."

Hao Meng and Zhang Yang asked, "What do you mean?"

"They run away if they can't fight, we can do the same, and then draw Gongsun Zan's army out to fight the opponent!"

"Uh……"

"It's a bit embarrassing for us and the state army!"

"Want to run around like a mouse?"

"Marquis Wen knows, will he blame him?"

Zhang Liao explained: "Marquis Wen only wants the result, not the process. No matter how well we fought, if Gongsun Zan kicked him out of Dai Commandery in the end, we would still be punished!"

Zhang Yang agreed: "Wen Yuan is right, this will save our troops!"

"The three of us led [-] cavalry each, and took turns to harass, leaving one to command the remaining [-] troops in Dong'anyang, ready to ambush Gongsun Zan!"

"it is good!"

The three of them once again disturbed Dai County, which made Gongsun Zan very angry. He directly led [-] Youzhou cavalry and [-] Wuhuan cavalry to fight all the way to Dai County, encircling and suppressing the Bingzhou Army.

The whole Dai County was noisy like a dog chasing a rabbit.

Ju Yi, who switched to Guangchang, stood on the Great Wall, looking at the galloping horses in the distance, with a smile on his face.

A few days ago, Zhang Liao had sent a letter asking him to assist the Bingzhou army in besieging and killing Gongsun Zan's cavalry.

Ju Yi readily agreed, and since Gongsun Zan was equipped with double-sided stirrups, he was so arrogant that he often came to the border to find fault, but he was mercilessly beaten back.

Tian Yu, Yan Rou, Xian Yuyin, and Xian Yufu behind Ju Yi also found it funny to see the galloping horses in the distance.

This Gongsun Zan is really big-hearted. He was lured to Guangling by Zhang Liao but still didn't know how to turn back.

"Xian Yuyin and Xian Yufu, you lead [-] troops from your headquarters to ambush in the city. Once the opponent is defeated, you will definitely cross the Sang River at the fastest speed. You take advantage of the opponent's crossing the river to enter Gongsun Zan's army , snatch the horse!"

"promise!"

"General Yan led [-] troops from his headquarters to detour through Dai County. Once Gongsun Zan is blocked at the Sang River, he will definitely go to Dai County and return to Shanggu County. You lie in ambush here, and your priority is still to snatch the horses."

"promise!"

"Tan Zhonglang, after Gongsun Zan's defeat in Dai County, Zhuolu is the only place where he can return to Juyang City in Shanggu County. If you lay an ambush here, you will definitely make a great contribution to the Lord!"

Tian Yu hesitated for a moment, but still took the order and left.

"Military Master Yuan Hao, is your strategy really working?"

This route to ambush Gongsun Zan was not thought up by Ju Yi, but by Tian Feng.

He wants to make Gongsun Zan come and go!

"It's hard to say whether it will work or not, but even if Gongsun Zan can escape back to Juyang, his strength will definitely be greatly damaged. At least his [-] soldiers should not be brought back."

"The military division can defend the city in Guangchang. I will lead [-] cavalry to meet Zhang Liao!"

Chapter 150 Competing for Runan, Liu Bei Emerges

Runan Pingyu, Liu Bei's residence!

Liu Bei looked at Jian Yong and said, "Xianhe, go to Jiujiang County to meet Yuan Shu and ask him to give up Runan County."

"My lord, I'm afraid Yuan Gonglu will not give up Runan easily. After all, this is the foundation of the Yuan family."

Du Xi looked at Liu Bei with a sad face. If Yuan Shu was so easy to talk, he would not attack Yangzhou.

"In any case, let's salute first and then fight. Yuzhou is the Yuzhou of the Han Dynasty. I am a Han family member and a shepherd of Yuzhou. Runan has been a part of Yuzhou since ancient times. He, Yuan Shu, has no right to occupy Yuzhou."

Liu Bei's tone was a little domineering. Since he became a shepherd in Yuzhou, he had a few more generals who can fight well, and a few counselors, his heart has become more and more lively.

So what about the four generations and the three princes?

His subordinates are nothing more than a bunch of trash, and Yuan Shu wouldn't be able to become a vassal if he didn't have a lot of soldiers and food.

Jian Yong's persuasion of Yuan Shu to return Yuzhou is just a process, and in the final analysis there is still a war.

As soon as he mentioned this matter to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu scolded him, Liu Bei weaves mats and sells shoes, what qualifications does he have to negotiate terms with him.

"My lord, Yuan Shu is unwilling to return the remaining county towns in Runan, and sent generals Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui to lead an army of [-] troops to Gushi, intending to start a war with our army."

"Fucking Yuan Shu, we really think we are afraid of him, big brother, let me lead an army of [-], and I will go and capture Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui."

Zhang Fei's face was full of anger. This Yuan Shu was so arrogant that he dared to do it directly.

Du Xi said: "My lord, at this point, we can only fight Yuan Shu!"

Lu Fan agreed: "The military adviser is right, we should fight like Cao Shuo, we will fight first before negotiating terms!"

"Yes, hit first!"

Zhang Fei, Li Tong, Chen Dao, Xue Lan, and Li Feng all stood up to challenge.

"beat!"

Liu Bei thought for a while and slapped his thigh. Since the other party didn't want a peaceful settlement, he should beat the pain first before negotiating terms.

Du Xi suggested: "My lord, before going to war, we must first arrange the defense of Chen Guo."

"Chen Guo?"

Liu Bei was very surprised. Could it be that Cao Cao would attack him?

"My lord, I guess that Cao Cao will definitely not sit back and watch Yuan Shu's defeat. If the longer our war with Yuan Shu lasts, the more beneficial it will be for Cao Cao, he will definitely play tricks behind his back."

Zhang Fei said angrily: "This hypocritical Cao Cao has one thing on the outside and another on the inside. Sooner or later, I will poke tens of thousands of transparent holes in him!"

Liu Bei looked at Li Tong and Chen Dao and said, "Wen Da, Shu Zhi, you two are stationed in Chen Guo to prevent Cao Cao from making trouble behind his back."

"promise!"

The two are brave and resourceful men who are rare in his subordinates. If there are two people to defend, there will be no problem in a short time.

"Yide, I will give you five thousand cavalry as the vanguard, and attack Gushi with Xue Lan!"

"promise!"

"The military division and I will lead an army of [-] to support."

Zhang Fei led an army of more than 5000 people and came directly to the foot of Gushi City. Looking at the Zhang Ziqi on the city wall, his face was full of disdain.

What kind of shit Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui are all low class people.

"Zhang Fei from Yan is here, how dare Zhang Xun go out of the city to fight!"

Zhang Xun looked at the black-faced and bearded man outside the city, and said disdainfully: "Zhang Fei, if you dare, attack the city!"

He was certain that Zhang Fei was a cavalry soldier and would never attack a city.

"As timid as a mouse, why don't you dare go out of the city to fight!"

Zhang Xun ignored it directly, shout loudly, be rampant, you will cry later.

After noon, Zhang Fei was a little tired from cursing, so he asked the soldiers to start insulting, and some soldiers had already started to doze off on the ground.

When Zhang Xun saw the opportunity, a beacon was ignited in the city. Zhang Fei didn't expect that this guy would dare to leave the city.

"kill!"

"kill!"

A group of cavalry, about 5000 people, suddenly rushed out from the direction of Xiang County. At the same time, a group of cavalrymen, about [-] people, also rushed out from the city. The leader was Zhang Xun.

"Zhang Fei, let's see where you are going!"

Zhang Fei's soldiers hurriedly picked up the weapons on the ground, mounted their horses and rushed forward.

However, the charge was much weaker than that of Zhang Xun's soldiers. Yuan Shu's soldiers were all battle-hardened, while Liu Bei's cavalry was just formed.

"kill!"

Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui, one left and one right, attacked Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei was not afraid at all, and they couldn't help him at all with just the two of them.

The two armies fought until evening, when Liu Bei's army finally arrived, leading the soldiers and joining the battle circle.

Seeing that Liu Bei was powerful, Zhang Xun led the remnant army back to the city.

In this battle, Zhang Fei lost more than 3000 cavalry, but Zhang Xun also lost 4000.

Liu Bei set up a camp ten miles outside Gushi City. For Liu Bei, this battle was a heavy loss, but for Zhang Xun, it was nothing serious at all.

"Brother, I was careless!"

Du Xi comforted: "It's not all the fault of General Yide!"

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Third Brother, don't blame yourself. Even if we miss the opponent's plan, if it's a cavalry confrontation, we will still lose a lot."

Liu Bei turned to Du Xi and said, "Military Master, what should we do now?"

The difference between him and Yuan Shu lies in the number of soldiers. Before he came to Yuzhou, Yuan Shu had recruited a large number of soldiers in Runan, and he didn't have many soldiers to recruit.

Excluding Yingchuan Guanyu's 7 troops, Chen Guo and Runan County under his control had only more than [-] soldiers, most of them were infantry, and there were very few cavalry.

There are more than 8000 cavalry, and this time they brought out 3000, which can be said to have cost a lot of money. Unexpectedly, [-] people were lost at one time.

Du Xi thought for a while and said, "My lord, the other party has already discovered that our army has a small number of cavalry, and they will definitely attack the camp at night!"

"So what? Our every move is under the surveillance of the other party!"

Liu Bei looked depressed. He really didn't understand why Du Xi made himself go to the village ten miles outside the city.

"My lord, don't worry, I have my own plan!"

To prevent night attacks, the best way is to have six empty camps and then block the other party in the camp. However, the current situation is impossible. If they withdraw from the camp now, Zhang Xun will definitely notice.

"Military teacher, tell me, you are really anxious to death my old Zhang!"

Zhang Fei couldn't wait to look at Du Xi. If Du Xi said it was true, they would really cheat Zhang Xun.

"My lord, order the soldiers to double the size of the camp, and then build barracks around the camp, with an empty space in the middle, and dig a horse trap!"

Then Du Xi drew the pattern of the horse trap.

Liu Bei asked with a puzzled expression, "Military Master, what do you mean?"

Du Xi explained: "The simplest layout of a large army's tent is known by all generals. The one in the middle must be the commander's tent. Let's hollow out the surrounding area, and then..."

Du Xi smiled wickedly at Liu Bei, and Liu Bei understood!

"Yide, send someone to dig a horse pit immediately!"

"promise!"

"Report, my lord, Cao Shuo's emissary is here to see you!"

"Cao Shuo?"

Liu Bei was stunned!
