"Come and drink, General Yangwu, I respect you with this glass of wine!" In Liu Bei's camp outside Baohe, it can be said to be full of joy, can you not be happy? This time they ambushed the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, which is known as the best cavalry in the world. Although they could not wipe out the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, they still left nearly 3,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry, and there are only 5,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry in total. Most of the explanations are here. It can be said that the Bingzhou wolf cavalry has been abolished. The armor of those horses and armor of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry has been pulled off by Liu Bei. With this batch of war horses, Liu Bei can also form a small heavy armored cavalry. The mobility is too strong, and in the plains, it is the nemesis of lightly armed soldiers.
It would be better if Zhang Xiu in front of him can be subdued, but if he can't, Liu Bei can also have a mobile cavalry.
The Bingzhou wolf cavalry has lost its combat effectiveness. It can be said that one of Liu Bei's confidants has been eliminated. The mobility of the cavalry is Liu Bei's heart disease. Before the battle between Liu Bei and Lao Cao, he was almost killed by the tiger and leopard cavalry. Although his white-eared heavy armor is not as good as the tiger and leopard cavalry, he can't catch up with them. He can only passively accept the enemy's attack, and he can only defend himself. The style of play is very aggrieved, and he was led by the nose. Now that the Bingzhou Wolf Rider has been abolished, how can Liu Bei be unhappy like this! So as soon as the troops were withdrawn and returned to the camp, they held a big feast and invited Zhang Xiu over.
"General Yangwu, it is true that a tiger has no sons. Your uncle Zhang Huqi was a hero in the past. Under his command, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is invincible. And General Yangwu will not let your uncle, whether in military command or martial arts, be invincible. Above all, he is stronger than Zhang Huanqi, but not weaker. If Zhang Huanqi is found in the spring, he will surely rest in peace!" Liu Bei raised his wine glass and flattered him. Zhang Huanqi was talking about Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu's uncle. Although Zhang Ji had something to do, he was not yet invincible. He was only a lieutenant general in the Xiliang Army. After Hua Xiong, Niu Fu, and these Xiliang generals died, this Zhang Ji gradually came to the fore. It was because of Dong Zhuo's death that the Xiliang army was in chaos. Only then did Zhang Ji have the opportunity to command an army alone. He invaded Chang'an with Li Jue, Guo Si and others, held Emperor Han hostage, and finally won the title of General Hussars. He hated it so much that Emperor Han, who was far away in Xudu, would not know what he would think if he knew that his beloved Liu Huangshu boasted so much about the traitor who imprisoned and abused him back then.
And this Zhang Ji died aggrievedly. He actually wanted to attack Liu Biao of Jingzhou in Xiangcheng, where there was not much food and grass, and finally he was shot and died under the city. And his nephew Zhang Xiu took over the power of soldiers and horses, and surrendered Liu Biao as soon as he turned around. Helping Liu Biao defend the northern gate of Jingzhou, and having been a watchdog for so many years, if it weren't for having a Jia Xu in his hand, I don't know how many times he would have been wiped out.
Zhang Xiu was very happy with Liu Bei's meal of the horse, and quickly shouted, "Where, where! General Zuo said it already."
"Hey! If it weren't for General Yangwu showing his power today and bringing five thousand elite cavalry under his command, how could it be possible for Lu Bu to run away!" Liu Bei continued to boast, this is the high-end point of Liu Bei's flattery, if you have always been I’m talking about you being good, that’s good, you’ll get bored after listening too much, and maybe even get bored, but Liu Bei compares people with Zhang Xiu, what is Lu Bu! As the saying goes, Lu Bu is among Taoists, and Chitu is among horses. Lu Bu is a god of war. Although there are so many generals and literati who express disdain for Lu Bu, they are truly envious and jealous. Lu Bu is not only handsome, but also powerful in martial arts. The most important thing is that Lu Bu has won the title of No. A beautiful woman named Diao Chan as his wife is a typical representative of the rich and handsome in the Three Kingdoms. It would be a lie to say that she is not jealous, but now Liu Bei compares Zhang Xiu with Lu Bu, and says that Lu Bu fled after seeing Zhang Xiu. How could Zhang Xiu not be full of ambition
"Huh!" Zhang Fei was dissatisfied sitting at the lower end. How could Zhang Xiu win Lu Bu with him alone? If Zhang Fei and Chen Dao hadn't joined the battle, Zhang Xiu's head might be what he saw now. Not so complacent, but my elder brother keeps boasting about Zhang Xiu, and forgets his brothers Zhang Fei and Chen Dao. "Three generals, don't spoil the lord's important affairs." Chen Dao looked at Zhang Fei and shook his head, Zhang Fei had no choice but to sit down and drink.
"Hahahaha!" Zhang Xiu laughed loudly, "Without the help of General Zhang Fei and General Chen Dao under General Zuo's command, how could Xiu achieve such a record, so come, Xiu Xian respects the two generals!" He drank the wine bowl in his hand.
"You're smart!" Zhang Fei muttered softly, and stood up with Chen Dao and drank the wine in the bowl.
Just when everyone was enjoying themselves, a personal guard walked in, "I tell my lord, General Yuzhou Mu Liupi, please see me!"
"Liu Pi?!" Liu Bei frowned. "He still has the face to come back!" Come right away, the second time is directly that Liu Pi is not in the army. It's all right now, the battle here is over, this Liu Pi has fallen!
"Brother, let me go over and beat this guy back!" Zhang Fei was a violent temper, and with the addition of drinks, he naturally became more energetic.
"My lord, let General Liu Pi come in!" Pang Tong suggested to Liu Bei on the sidelines. He hoped to control Liu Pi. What else did Pang Tong do
"Okay, let him in!" Liu Bei waved his hand and let the guards pass Liu Pi in. When Liu Pi came in, everyone present was stunned, because the bloody smell on Liu Pi was too heavy , his bloody smell was stronger than those of the soldiers present who had just participated in the ambush, and it was almost disgusting.
Moreover, there is still blood on the armor of his body, and he can tell that he just came back from a big battle.
Before Liu Bei could speak, Liu Pi over there knelt down in front of Liu Bei with a plop, "My lord, you want me to be the master! My lord!"
"Huh?!" A bad feeling suddenly flashed in Liu Bei's heart, "Stand up and speak!"
"My lord, my lord yesterday. The scouts in our army captured Lu Bu's scouts. From the mouths of Lu Bu's scouts, I learned that there is not enough food and grass in Shouchun. And Lu Bu in Lujiang will escort a batch of food and grass to Shouchun through the official road, because Time was urgent, so the last general specially asked his general Liao Hua to take two thousand soldiers to the official road to ambush first, and then the last general took five thousand soldiers and horses to the rear, ready to take down this batch of food and grass! "Liu Pi didn't dare to hide everything before Wu Shishi's explanation was very clear.
"Lack of food in Shouchun? Lu Bu transported food? The food transport team went the official way?!" These are three questions. The first question is that Shouchun is indeed short of food. Not only Shouchun, but the entire Yangzhou. You can know from some cities and those generals who surrendered, Lu Bu transported food? The people present looked at each other. There is really this possibility, because they ambushed Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf cavalry. The food transportation team took the official way, so didn't Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Rider follow the official way? But they didn't see the rations
Seeing everyone's thinking, Liu Pi went on to say the strategy of blacking out under the lamp, and a scene suddenly appeared in the minds of everyone present, that is, Shouchun's army was short of rations and asked Lujiang to send them out, but the rations were not If you are lucky, you will naturally need the protection of the army, and Lu Bu's army has been held back by Jiangdong Sun Ce, and it is impossible to send a trilogy alone to escort. The only one who can escort food and grass without anyone noticing is the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry is fast. It is possible to fight back and forth in Lujiang Shouchun before the enemy reacts, but the Bingzhou wolf cavalry cannot set off with the grain transportation team. This will delay the speed and may limit the outbreak of the cavalry.
So there is such a strategy of being dark under the lights, let the grain transport team go first, and the Bingzhou wolf riders follow. Can rush to the battlefield and forcefully break through.
Everyone present nodded their heads one by one. There are quite a few masters in Lu Bu's army. It's a pity that his Bingzhou wolf rider was scouted by Liu Bei's spies as soon as he left Wancheng, and was calculated by Pang Tong. The grain transportation team was also caught by Liu Pi and exposed, otherwise the grain transportation team would have really reached Shouchun during the period when Liu Bei's army encircled and suppressed Bingzhou Wolf Riders.
"General Liu Pi, this is a great achievement! Where did the lord go when he raised his account to discuss matters? Who knew the general and the lord made such a contribution? It's really a double blessing!" Pang Tong was the first to break the atmosphere of thinking. Holding Liu Bei's fists together, he said, "My lord, I should reward General Liu Pi with a glass of wine." Pang Tong is a potential subordinate who protects himself everywhere.
"Reward, reward, come and give General Liu Pi an extra seat!" If what Liu Pi said is true, then Liu Pi has really made a contribution. Shouchun City is short of food and grass, and this batch of food and grass for help is also not available. Then Shouchun City will not be able to hold on anymore.
The drinks and seats had been moved, but Liu Pi didn't dare to sit down or drink water.
"What's the matter Liu Pi! Could it be that the wine my elder brother gave you is not good, you don't bother to drink it!" Zhang Fei has such a loud voice and bad temper. Those who were born in merchants are somewhat looked down upon.
"The last general doesn't dare!" Liu Pi hastily knelt down again after being squeezed by Zhang Fei. "The last general, the last general!" Liu Pi seemed hesitant to speak.
"General Liu Pi, what's your problem? My lord is here, what can I discuss with my lord!" Pang Tong remembered that when he entered the tent, Liu Pi acted as if he was begging Liu Bei to call the shots, and then he talked about the ambush. Generally speaking, generals always report good news but not bad news, and good news always precedes bad news, but this time Liu Pi didn't have the kind of happy expression of getting credit, but a kind of panic, which shows that there is something wrong! "
"The last general, the last general!" Liu Pi couldn't say anything, because Zhang Xiu, General Yangwu, the person involved, was at the side. He looked at Zhang Xiu and lowered his head.
"Hey!" Liao Hua on the side has been unable to get in his mouth. Now that his master has been cowarded like this, he has beaten him to the door. You are still worried about this and that. "Report to the master, this ambush , our army has more than 4,000 casualties!"
"More than four thousand?!" A total of 7,000 people were taken out, and more than half of them were killed or injured. Could there be any part of the enemy in this food transport team? Wasn't the Bingzhou Wolf Rider attacked by them
"Who are you?!" Pang Tong asked the doubts of everyone present, because he had never met Liao Hua, and his rank had not yet reached the level of the chief account, so everyone did not know him. "The last general is Yuzhou Mu Liu. General Pi's 5,000-strong general Liao Hua. Liao Yuanjian"
"My lord, all generals. Our army has suffered such casualties, all thanks to General Yangwu's subordinates!" Liao Hua's words made the atmosphere in the room suddenly not right, and Zhang Xiu, who had been watching the play, became a play in the protagonist.
"Liao Hua, what nonsense are you talking about!" Pang Tong hurriedly stopped Liao Hua and said, Zhang Xiu is now an ally, and he is also a character that Liu Bei wants to fight for now. Compared with Zhang Xiu, Liu Bei will not offend Zhang Xiu even if Liu Bei does not want Liu Pi. of.
"The last general is not talking nonsense! The late general ambushed Lv Bu's grain transport team. His own casualties were less than a hundred people and he got grain and grass and thousands of stones. But before the final general could count the grain and grass, Zhao Long, a general with a thousand soldiers under General Zhang Xiu, came to ask for it. The last general spoke nicely and told this General Zhao Long that if you need food and grass, you can tell General Yangwu to send it out in a unified way. Unprepared, the general suddenly killed a returning carbine, two hundred elite Xiliang iron cavalry. After killing the last general, one was caught off guard, and there were hundreds of casualties in the two thousand soldiers and horses. Fortunately, General Liu Pi led the rear team to fight out, otherwise it would be the end of the war. I won’t be able to come back soon!” Liao Hua’s words stunned everyone present.
Take credit? Stealing the credit of the friendly army, and using a knife, killed so many people, no matter how you say it, it can't be justified, everyone looked at Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu was also a little embarrassed, after all he had brought a few personal guards with him in this tent, and if there was a conflict, he would definitely be the one who would be unlucky "This General Liao Hua, did the food and grass that he said were transported above the official road? !" Zhang Xiu didn't listen to it just now, but now he realized that Maotou was pointing at him, and then he remembered that his army had also got such a scout, and when he learned that there was military rations from Lujiang to Shouchun, he sent Hu Che'er to bring it to Shouchun. Take two thousand Xiliang iron cavalry to check it out. If there is one, they will snatch it. If not, then it doesn't matter.
"Yes, it's that Hu Che'er!" Liu Pi also worked hard, "Then Zhao Long didn't stop killing nearly 2,000 people from my Yuzhou Army. After that, General Yangwu and your deputy Hu Che'er came out again, bringing two Thousands of elite Xiliang iron cavalry caused our army to die 4,000 people and injure more than 700." Anyway, they have been offended completely, so let's talk about it.
Two thousand Xiliang cavalry led by Hu Che'er? The soldiers of Liu Beijun who were present looked at Zhang Xiu with a different look. This is completely the rhythm of killing people and killing people. It is still above the official road, in an open area, and 7,000 people are not enough for 2,000 heavy cavalry to charge. .
"Wu Na, the barbarians from Xiliang are bullying me, Liu Bei has no one in the army!" Zhang Fei's loud voice can be heard everywhere.
"Yide!" Liu Bei scolded.
"Hmph, I dare to ask General Yuzhou Mu Liupi, if my deputy general Hu Che'er led the troops to kill, how could you survive? Can you escape with three thousand soldiers and horses?!" Zhang Xiu said this The question is not that Zhang Xiu looks down on Liu Pi, but that if the light infantry is unprepared in an open area, it will be a massacre. Two thousand heavy cavalry can fight against 20,000 light infantry.
Yeah yeah! Everyone looked at Liu Pi and Liao Hua again. Liu Pi lowered his head in the eyes of everyone, while Liao Hua and Zhang Xiu looked at each other. This courage made the surrounding generals and Liu Bei take a second look at Liao Hua.
"Reporting to my lord, I will suffer the loss of the Xiliang iron cavalry once, and it is impossible to suffer a second time, so in order to survive, I will use the food transport team as a bait to ambush the two thousand Xiliang iron cavalry!" Liao Hua He looked at Zhang Xiu and said.
"Huh!?" Ambushed Xiliang cavalry? This is not a joke, normal people should think of running away at that time. After all, light infantry above the officialdom are no match for heavy cavalry. Only few people know that it is difficult to escape by running away, and This young general like Liao Hua actually knew about ambushes!
"Ambush? How much did my Xiliang iron cavalry lose?" Zhang Xiu still asked a little proudly. More than 5,000 light infantry ambushed 2,000 heavy cavalry
"Our Yuzhou Army killed or wounded 2,300 people, Xiliang iron cavalry except for more than a hundred cavalry rushed out of the encirclement, and killed all the rest!" Liao Hua said the result of the battle word by word.
"What!" All the people present were not calm anymore. It is not that they have never fought an ambush before. Chen arrived before Zhang Fei with all the Qingzhou Army and Baier Heavy Armored Soldiers, plus Zhang Xiu's 5,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry. An ambush was fought, and the target of the ambush was the Bingzhou wolf cavalry. Several armies came out and killed less than 3,000 people. However, Liao Hua led 5,000 Yuzhou Yellow Turbans to ambush Xiliang, who also had heavy armored cavalry. Iron cavalry, even let the hundred cavalry escape! The contrast before and after this was too great, and everyone looked at Liao Hua differently. This person is a good general.
"Good kill! Haha, haha! Brother Liao Hua, my old Zhang supports you!" Zhang Fei started laughing. In the past few days, the elder brother has shown great respect to that old man's Zhang Xiu, which made Zhang Fei very unhappy. The Xiliang iron cavalry were all Qiang people, which made Zhang Fei even more uncomfortable. If it wasn't for the friendly troops, they would have killed them long ago.
"Hu Che'er, where's Hu Che'er!" Zhang Xiu was really angry, he could ignore the two thousand Xiliang cavalry, but he had to care about Hu Che'er. Hu Che'er has followed Zhang Xiu for a long time. It can be said that Hu Che'er is equivalent to Zhang Xiu's younger brother. He has followed Zhang Xiu since the beginning of Zhang Xiu's apprenticeship. Later, Zhang Xiu surrendered Liu Biao and killed Cao Cao. With the wholehearted help of Hu Che'er. So Zhang Xiu got emotional, so he went up to Liao Hua and Liu Pi.
"What do you want to do, what are you doing!" Zhang Fei stood up and stood in front of Zhang Xiu.
"Go away!" Zhang Xiu had a murderous look on his face, and Zhang Fei didn't show any weakness. Zhang Fei killed as many people as Zhang Xiu, and Liu Bei frowned. He didn't know what to do if It is really like what Liu Pi said, then the fault lies with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. If Liu Bei disposes of Liu Pi and Liao Hua, it may chill the hearts of his soldiers. If he does not dispose of it, the relationship with Zhang Xiu will really break down. If it's not good, it's just a big battle. Liu Bei is ready to make up his mind to let Zhang Fei and Chen Dao kill Zhang Xiu first in this large tent of the Chinese army. Just when Liu Bei was about to make up his mind to kill Zhang Xiu first, and then deal with Zhang Xiu's Xiliang iron cavalry after difficulties.
"It's a disaster, it's a disaster!!" A messenger stumbled in and ran in. "It's a disaster, my lord, my lord, our camp is surrounded!" (To be continued...)
