The Nameless of the Common Clans

Yanzhou, Juancheng.

Watching the troops and horses attacking the city retreat again, Liu Bei frowned slightly. This was already the seventh day of the attack on Juancheng. With the help of Chen Gong and Zhang Miao, his troops quickly expanded to 50,000. It was so huge that it was ten times larger than the defenders of Juancheng. Logically speaking, it should be possible to capture it. However, after seven consecutive days of strong attack, Juancheng remained as motionless as a rock. On the contrary, Liu Bei's troops became weaker and weaker as they fought.

"Let's stop the troops for the time being." Liu Bei glanced at the walls of Juancheng, and the emperor was inside. As long as he attacked, he would be the lord of Yanzhou, and he could use the emperor to rectify his name. However, it was this city that prevented him from advancing even an inch. .

The person guarding the city is Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang, a young boy who has not yet reached the crown. But judging from the command and dispatch of these seven days, the opponent is at least impeccable in the means of defending the city. At the beginning, Liu Bei bullied him because he was young, but the design thought They wanted to lure Cao Ang out of the city, but instead Guan Yu, who went to challenge him, was tricked by Cao Ang into the city and shot with an arrow. If Guan Yu hadn't run fast, he might have ended up in Juancheng.

"Brother, let me lead the troops to charge again!" Zhang Fei came back with a snake spear and said with red eyes.

"The three armies have no fighting spirit. A strong attack at this time will only waste troops and horses." Liu Bei finally figured it out. Although Cao Ang was young, his ability was not weak. It was impossible to break through Juancheng in a hurry. He had to think of another way. .

"But..." Zhang Fei wanted to say something else, but Liu Bei glared at him and could only gather his troops and return to the camp.

The three armies returned to the camp, Liu Bei gathered with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and invited Chen Gong over.

"Gongtai, Juancheng has been unable to be attacked for a long time. If Cao Cao's army returns, it may be difficult to resist!" Liu Bei looked at Chen Gong and smiled bitterly: "I wonder if Gongtai has a clever plan?"

Juancheng cannot be captured for a long time. Cao Cao will definitely not sit back and watch Yanzhou fall. He may have returned to the army at this moment. If Liu Bei waits for Cao Cao to come back, although Liu Bei has occupied most of the counties in Yanzhou, his foundation is unstable. If Cao Cao cannot be cut off from returning, he may have already The counties and counties obtained will be taken back by Cao Cao.

Zhang Fei on the side snorted coldly: "Hmph, I don't believe it. The defender of the city is just a boy. Can't we defeat Juan City with an army of 50,000 people?"

Chen Gong touched the beard under his chin, frowned and thought: "Our army is improvised, and its combat power is difficult to compete with the elite of Cao's army. Please do not underestimate Cao Ang. Although Cao Ang is young, he rarely has precocious wisdom. In his early years, When he was in Luoyang, he became a disciple of Chen Mo. He was much better than ordinary generals in terms of strategy and military use. What's more, with the help of Xun Yu, it seems that it is extremely difficult to conquer Juancheng. "

Chen Mo was also a figure who became famous when he was young. Liu Bei was there when Chen Mo got married. The two of them were chatting happily at that time. Thinking of Chen Mo's achievements now and looking at Cao Ang in front of him, Liu Bei suddenly felt inexplicably sad. Young Chen Mo After becoming famous, he is now the overlord of the three auxiliaries in Guanzhong and Bingzhou, and can compete with Yuan Shao. The Cao Ang in front of him may not be as dazzling as Chen Mo, but judging from the fights these days, he is also a great one. figure.

Today's young men are so powerful, but he is still in his thirties, but he has still accomplished nothing. Cao Cao has not yet come, and his son has made it difficult for Liu Bei to make progress. He has already been reduced to competing with his younger generations?

However, Liu Bei was not a human being after all, and the sadness only appeared for a short time, and he was quickly suppressed.

"Juancheng is so urgent that it's hard to get off." Liu Bei looked at Chen Gong and said, "If we wait for Cao Cao to come back for reinforcements, it will be difficult to resist."

Chen Gong nodded and thought: "You can order a general to lead his army to defend Dongping, cut off the road to Yuanfu and Taishan, and intercept Cao Cao's army. Cao Cao's army has run out of food. Once the army's food and grass are exhausted, the three armies will collapse. As long as Cao Cao is defeated, Cao Ang will No matter how powerful it is, the three cities of Juancheng, Dong'a, and Fan County can't stop the envoy, so you can try to do it slowly!"

When Liu Bei heard this, he nodded silently and looked at the two generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei beside him. After thinking for a moment, he finally said: "Yide, with ten thousand troops and horses of yours, we will follow Gongtai's plan to defend Dongping and cut off Cao Cao's return. Are you willing?"

"Brother, don't worry!" Zhang Fei cupped his fists and saluted, immediately stood up and said, "I will teach that thief Cao to die a good death!"

Liu Bei frowned and said: "Leading an army alone, remember not to be greedy for sin. If you miss important events, you and my brothers will have no place to live!"

Choosing Zhang Fei to lead the army alone was also a helpless move. Liu Bei now only has two generals, Guan and Zhang. Both of them are brave enough to lead the army. But when it comes to leading the army, Guan Yu is from a low background and does not study much. On the contrary, Zhang Fei He may seem rough and arrogant on weekdays, but he is capable of both civil and military skills and can lead an army on his own. If Guan Yu were taught to do it, at least Guan Yu would not be able to do it now.

"Here!" Zhang Fei saluted solemnly, stood up, received the general's order, and went to mobilize his troops.

On the other side, after Cao Cao learned that there was a change in Yanzhou, he immediately sent troops back to help, and at the same time sent people to investigate Liu Bei's movements. After learning that Liu Bei sent people to occupy Dongping and cut off his return, Cao Cao's complexion changed drastically, and he immediately sent Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun called: "Liu Bei sent people to cut off our return. If we can't recapture it as soon as possible, our army will be trapped and die here. You two immediately lead your troops to clear the road. Remember, the Yuanfu's road is a dangerous road. Liu Bei will definitely set up troops to intercept them, and be careful about being ambushed."

"Here!" Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun heard the order and left, rushing all the way to Dongping. Zhang Fei had already rushed to Dongping first and set up camp at Yuanfu to intercept Cao's army returning westward.

Xiahou Dun frowned and looked at the camp in the distance. The return route was blocked. If it could not be opened as soon as possible, as Cao Cao said, Cao Cao's army would be defeated.

Along the way, the two captured several scouts who came to investigate and inquired about news in the camp.

"Zixiao, have you ever heard of Zhang Fei?" After Xiahou Dun heard the news, he looked at Cao Ren and frowned.

"Let alone Zhang Fei, I only know about Liu Bei now." Cao Ren shook his head. The reputation of Liu Bei and his three brothers was not very big: "But looking at his arrangement, it is not bad. He is a man who knows military affairs."

Xiahou Dun nodded. The two of them have been on the battlefield for a long time. Generally, when they encounter an enemy, they can see some level from the enemy's camp. Camping is a basic quality of a general, but it also requires a lot of level.

"He should not have experienced many battles." Xiahou Dun nodded and said: "In this way, you lead your people to hide in the mountains, and I will lead the troops to challenge and see if you can lead this person out of the camp. If you can lead him away, you take the opportunity to lead the troops to capture his camp, and then you and I will attack from the front and back, and the enemy army will be defeated."

"Good!" Cao Ren nodded, and the two of them divided their troops. Cao Ren led his troops to find a place to set up an ambush, and Xiahou Dun led his troops to the outside of Zhang Fei's camp and sent people to challenge.

In Zhang Fei's camp, he couldn't hold back after all. He broke the drinking order and was half drunk and half awake at this moment. He saw the personal guard general running over and saluted Zhang Fei and said, "General, there is a Cao army outside the camp shouting and cursing!"

"Cao army?" Zhang Fei threw the wine bowl in his hand and laughed, "You are just in time. Let me select the soldiers. I want to kill the thief general with my own hands!"

These days, the attack on Juancheng has been unsuccessful for a long time. He has been holding back a breath of anger in his heart. In addition, he is drunk now. Zhang Fei's drinking is really not good. Once he gets drunk, he wants to find someone to vent.

"General, the lord has ordered that we only need to cut off the return route of Cao's army!" The general frowned.

"Don't worry, there is only one way. I will lead the army to fight, kill the thief general and come back. Nothing will happen. If you are worried, stay and guard the camp. When I kill the enemy and return, you will have your share of credit." Zhang Fei patted the general's shoulder and grinned.

"That's not what I meant..." the general said with a wry smile.

"Okay, you are a man, why are you talking like a woman? Invite the troops!" Zhang Fei pushed the general away, took his snake spear, summoned the troops, and led the army out of the camp. He saw a Cao army outside the camp that had already formed a battle array. Xiahou Dun stood in front of the two armies and looked over here.

Zhang Fei rode out, pointed his snake spear and said loudly: "Who is coming? Tell me your name. Your grandfather will not kill an unknown general under his spear!"

His voice was loud and deep, and he shouted, echoing in the valley for a long time.

Xiahou Dun rubbed his ears. He hadn't seen his ability yet, but his voice was really loud.

"I am Xiahou Dun from Chenliu!" Xiahou Dun said loudly: "Zhang Fei, why are you attacking me for no reason?"

"Xiahou Dun?" Zhang Fei scratched his ears and grinned: "You are a nameless rat, how dare you make a scene here? I will attack you, what are you waiting for?"

Nameless rat! ?

Xiahou Dun's eyes widened. This guy really dared to say that. I didn't even think you were nameless, but you dared to say I was nameless? A surge of evil fire rose up, and Xiahou Dun had the urge to rush up and chop people.

However, thinking that he was here to lure the enemy, Xiahou Dun suppressed his anger, rode forward, lingered, looked up and down at Zhang Fei, and sneered: "Your lord Liu Bei is incompetent and dared not fight my master head-on, but only dared to attack him like a rat when my master was out. I think you are talking about Liu Bei, a nobody?"

"Hmm?" Zhang Fei shook his head, his eyes were fierce, the person he respected most was his brother, how could he allow others to insult him like this, his eyes turned red and he cursed: "You thief, I'm afraid you won't survive today, kill!"

After speaking, he squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and rushed forward, and the soldiers behind him also followed Zhang Fei to rush forward.

Xiahou Dun was delighted to see this. He didn't expect that Zhang Fei would lose his mind after just a few provocative words. He didn't seem to be a powerful person. He was ready to lead his troops to meet him. Suddenly, it became dark in front of him. It turned out that Zhang Fei had come to kill him alone.

Reckless man!

Xiahou Dun was shocked and didn't care about anything else. He quickly raised his gun to block.

"Bang~"

A muffled sound, Xiahou Dun's horse screamed, and his hands were numb, and he could hardly hold the spear in his hand. Zhang Fei's second spear had already stabbed over, and Xiahou Dun quickly dodged to the side, but Zhang Fei pressed down, and the armor on his back cracked, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, shouting: "Kill!"

The guards around him rushed forward to rescue him. Zhang Fei was drunk at this moment, and his strength had nowhere to vent. Seeing that he was surrounded, he was not afraid at all. He swung the snake spear in his hand and pushed away the surrounding Cao army. Xiahou Dun looked up and saw that Zhang Fei's troops had also followed behind him. He gritted his teeth and said: "Retreat!"
