This time he had to be careful, careful, and careful.

This is already the second time he has been hit by the trick, and if he gets hit again, he won't have to lead the army to fight.

After a while, the soldiers sent out ran back and said in a panic: "General Xiahou, the city is full of fire starters, on the roofs, on the beams, and in the hidden places in the street, there are all dead grass and kerosene!"

"damn it……"

Xia Houyuan wiped off his cold sweat, but fortunately he didn't enter the city, or else he really fell into the trap.

Li Dian said: "Our army is exhausted and must rest. Why don't we rest outside the city for one night and lead the soldiers across the river tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, order the soldiers to build a camp immediately!"

Liu Ye, who had exited Liao County, looked at the burning smoke behind him, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Come here, inform Vice General Qi to dig the water in the middle of the night!"

"promise!"

"Huang Yi, you lead [-] soldiers, rush to the lower reaches of the river, and block the river for me!"

"promise!"

The broken water is located ten miles east of Liao County, and Xia Houyuan would never have thought that the other party would dig the river if the river could not be crossed.

But he didn't realize that the terrain of Liao County was relatively low and flooded all the year round. Later, Liao County was rebuilt and the terrain was elevated, but the surrounding land became extremely low. If the downstream of the river was blocked, the entire outside of Liao County would be flooded. submerged.

This is also the reason why Liu Ye prepared fire starters in the city and let the other party find out on purpose. He guessed that the other party would definitely not rest in the city.

In the middle of the night, Xia Houyuan was resting when he heard a loud noise and hurried out to check.

"Water, it's water!"

"My grass..."

Xia Houyuan looked terrified, why did the river come here?

Li Dian ran up to Xia Houyuan in a panic, the water under his feet was almost up to his thighs.

"Miaocai, I suspect that the other party blocked the downstream."

"Bastard, don't let me catch you..."

"Help, I don't know how to water..."

"Plop plop!"

Looking at the soldiers struggling in the water, Xia Houyuan felt that his heart was bleeding. Those seriously injured soldiers would definitely not be able to escape.

"Let's go into the city quickly, the city is high and can't be flooded!"

Standing outside the city, Xia Houyuan was hesitating. He looked at Li Dian and asked, "There is a fire in the city."

Li Dian reminded: "The water is getting higher and higher. If we don't enter the city, we may be submerged in the water!"

"Entering the city?" Xia Houyuan was a little flustered.

Chapter 312

"boom!"

Just when Xia Houyuan was about to enter the city, a raging fire suddenly ignited in the city.

A dozen small boats slowly approached from the east bank of the water, Xia Houyuan looked horrified. If the opponent took advantage of the situation to attack at this time, they would have no strength to fight.

Liu Ye stood at the bow of the boat and said loudly: "You two generals, I was going to burn you to death, but I can't bear it. The two generals are doing their own thing. We will see each other again in the future!"

"Fuck, you dare to tease me!"

Xia Houyuan looked at Liu Ye with black lines all over his head, this bastard was really arrogant, "Watch me shoot him to death with an arrow."

Li Dian hurriedly dissuaded him: "Miao Cai, no!"

Liu Ye had already let them live, if he was shot and killed at this time, wouldn't it be ridiculed by the world.

Cao Cao, who was stationed in Longkang County and confronted Yuan Shu, was furious when he received Xia Houyuan's battle report.

"hateful!"

"These three bastards!"

Cheng Yu hurriedly asked: "Why is my lord so angry?"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said, "The Lujiang Third Army suffered heavy losses."

Cao Cao became angry when he thought about it. Although several cities were captured, only less than [-] of their [-] troops remained.

If Yuan Shu's soldiers counterattacked, they would not be able to let go at all.

"Liu Ye, a counselor under Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang, used fire and water attacks continuously, causing heavy losses to our army. There are only more than 7000 people left in the three-way army."

"how is this possible!"

All the soldiers looked horrified, when did Yuan Shu's subordinates come to have such capable people?Even Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, and Li Dian, who are brave and good at fighting, are not his opponents.

Cheng Yu hurriedly asked, "Where did the three generals retreat?"

"The city has been taken down!"

This is where Cao Cao was most angry. He felt that these cities seemed to be given by the other party.

Cheng Yu asked: "My lord, the three generals don't have many troops, should we reinforce them?"

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "They can defend now, and Yuan Shu's sailors have also entered the Huaihe River. Our army will not be able to cross the river for a while."

Man Chong said: "My lord, although Liu Ye performed extraordinary, but he is a clan member of the Han family. Yuan Shu is lenient outside and jealous at home, and he is jealous of the virtuous and capable. He must not dare to reuse Liu Ye. We only need to do a little trick to make Yuan Shu suspicious of Liu Ye." Ye."

"Oh?"

Cao Cao looked at Man Chong expectantly, and Man Chong said with a smile: "We just need to spread the news in Shouchun that Liu Ye has a murderous heart. Once he has military power, he will definitely attack Jiujiang County."

"Okay, Miao, Bo Ning's talent is not inferior to that of Liu Ye!"

Cao Cao looked excited, called a few scouts, gave them some instructions, and let them leave.

Cheng Yu reminded: "My lord, such a talent, Yuan Shu, can't be grasped at all. When Liu Ye is desperate, if we send a letter of persuasion to surrender, maybe..."

Cao Cao became even more excited. If Liu Ye could be recruited, then his strength would be enhanced a lot.

"This matter, Zhong De, you go to do it!"

"promise!"

In Shouchun City on the south bank of the Huaihe River, Yuan Shu was extremely happy when he saw the battle report sent by Lujiang.

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

"This Liu Ziyang deserves to be a talented person with excellent strategies and strategies. I have Ziyang, so Cao Cao is nothing to worry about!"

Yuan Shu was full of praise for Liu Ye's performance. This man's command ability is too powerful. With a few simple tricks, Cao Cao's army was wiped out seven or eight times.

Ji Ling said: "My lord, Liu Xun said that there are only less than [-] soldiers and horses left in Lujiang County. He still has to guard against Sun Ce's army in Yuzhang County. I am afraid that he will not be able to recover the lost cities."

Yuan Shu said with a smile: "It's easy, Mei Gan, Lei Xu, and Chen Lan. The three of you will lead an army of [-] to support Lujiang. All dispatches will be subject to Liu Ye's arrangements. In addition, Liu Ye will be appointed as the assistant minister and Zuo Zhonglang general. Reward a thousand gold and make Bai Yiting Marquis!"

In order to be able to win over Liu Ye's heart, Yuan Shu also paid a lot of money.

Yang Hong hurriedly dissuaded him: "No, Your Majesty, absolutely not!"

Yuan Shu's expression darkened, and he asked, "Why not?"

It's not easy for him to meet a top strategist. Could it be that his subordinates are incompatible?

Yang Hong explained: "Liu Ziyang is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. If we reuse Liu Ziyang, we may cause trouble in the future."

Yuan Shu hesitated. Although the great man died, there are many descendants of the Liu surname.

It is said that Liu Biao in Jingzhou is planning to proclaim himself emperor. If Liu Ye turns against him and goes to Liu Biao, it will be a big deal.

Yuan Shu said in a deep voice: "Then, make him a servant and let him come to Shouchun."

"promise!"

Yuan Shu looked at Qiao Rui beside him and said, "Have you found Qiao Rong?"

"not found!"

Qiao Rui looked depressed. After his wedding team clashed with Sun Ce, he sent another [-] soldiers to the Qiao Mansion to snatch the marriage, but the Qiao Mansion was empty.

When his subordinates were looking around, they happened to meet Xu Jiao who had come to snatch the marriage. The two teams of soldiers and horses were fighting in a dark environment. Thanks to Liu Xun leading the army, Xu Jiao was driven out of Lujiang County.

"Damn it, damned Sun Ce actually ran to Lujiang to rob people."

Yuan Shu looked at Qiao Rui angrily. If Cao Cao hadn't stationed an army on the north bank of the Huaihe River, he would definitely cross the Yangtze River and attack Yuzhang County.

Yan Xiang said: "There is news from the south of the Yangtze River that Sun Ce has raised [-] troops to attack Kuaiji County. We can take advantage of the stalemate and send a surprise army to attack Yuzhang County."

Yang Hong said: "Master Yan is right. Sun Ce only has [-] troops under his command. If he took away [-] at one time, the defense of Yuzhang and Danyang must be weak. We must not let this golden opportunity go by."

Yuan Shu thought for a while, if he sticks to the Huai River, Cao Cao won't be able to get through at all, so it's okay to send a large army to take Yuzhang County.

"Li Feng and Lei Bo, you two will lead an army of [-] troops and station in Anqing, waiting for my further instructions."

"promise!"

"Send someone to notify Zhang Xun in Liyang, and ask him to keep an eye on Sun Ce's army in the south of the Yangtze River."

"promise!"

Liu Ye, who led the army to retreat to Lu'an, returned to the mansion, called Qiao Rong, and said, "Mr. Qiao, are you ready?"

Qiao Rong replied: "Everything is ready. I will dismiss all the servants. There are 24 family members in the mansion, including the four of us, a total of 28 people."

"I have already contacted the person in charge of Zhen's Chamber of Commerce, and they said that they will arrange a route for us to go north in Anfeng City."

"Zi Yang has made great achievements this time, and Yuan Shu will definitely reward him. It's a pity that you just leave like this."

Liu Ye explained: "Yuan Shu is not a benevolent and righteous king, nor does he have the appearance of an emperor. Looking at the scenery now, once Cao Cao crosses the Huai River, he will undoubtedly die."

"Report, the king sent an envoy to pass the decree, let the master go to Shouchun, the carriage outside the mansion is ready."

Chapter 313 Xiliang iron cavalry leaves Wuguan

I will keep updating if the water does not reach the sixth floor! ! ! !

"Your Majesty, what are you calling me back to Chang'an?"

Guo Bang looked at Dong Zhuo with a sad face. Dong Zhuo didn't blame him for losing Hedong County earlier. After all, Lv Bu personally led the army to attack Hedong County.

"Guo Si, our military scouts found out that my granddaughter, Princess Liyang, was kidnapped by Cao Shuo and is now being held in Liu Bei's office in Nanyang County. You must gather [-] cavalry from Hongnong County and go out of Wuguan to bring her back to me. .”

"promise!"

When Guo Si heard that he was not blaming himself, he was overjoyed immediately. Isn't it just stealing someone? If it was from Cao Shuo, he would not be able to do that, but he didn't pay attention to a little Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei has a few fierce generals, they have few soldiers. No matter how brave Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are, they cannot withstand the cavalry and charge of tens of thousands of cavalry.

Li Jue hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, what if Cao Shuo takes advantage of the opportunity to transfer troops from Hongnong County?"

Li Ru explained: "Cao Shuo traded with Lv Bu and obtained Hedong County. The purpose is self-evident. It is to bypass Hangu Pass and attack Hongnong County. There is a flat river behind Hangu Pass. We can't stop the other party from crossing the river. "

Li Jue was speechless: "Could it be that we just give up Hongnong County and Hangu Pass?"

Li Ru said: "Of course not. There are still [-] troops guarding Hangu Pass. Even if Hongnong County transfers away [-] cavalry, there are still [-] troops. Tongguan attacked from both sides, wiped out the soldiers and horses of Hedong County, and then retreated into Tongguan."

Li Jue nodded, this strategy seems to be no problem.

Although he didn't know how Dong Zhuo trusted Li Ru again, Dong Zhuo didn't say anything, so he couldn't doubt it anymore.

Dong Zhuo asked, "Li Jue, is Ma Teng in Xiliang making any moves?"

Li Jue replied: "After Ma Teng retreated to Wuwei, he recruited troops locally and united with the Qiang people to attack Jincheng County. Han Sui sent people to ask for help many times. I ordered Hu Feng to garrison Zu Li to prevent Ma Teng from leading his army across the country. Magpie Yin River."

Dong Zhuo praised: "Very good, let them bite the dog first, these two are very hateful."

Outside Wuguan, in Liu Bei's camp.

Guan Yu looked at the city wall of Wuguan with a sad face. Although Wuguan was not as thick and high as Hulaoguan, it was still an important pass that entered Qin from the south.

Zhang Fei led [-] soldiers and detoured from Fengxiang City to the back of Wuguan. It has been two days and there is still no news.
