Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 206 Liu Bei beat Huang Xuer violently, the junior will always be the junior (additional update for pursuit)

From Chencang to Yi County.

Zhang Fei and Zhang He, two old rivals, faced off from north to south, while Liu Bei and Huang Xuer faced off from east to west on the banks of the Weishui River.

It’s also a personal expedition.

In the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei was eager to win. From Zigui to Guoting, he penetrated 700 miles into the Wu Kingdom and divided his 50,000 elite troops into dozens of camps.

Today's Liu Bei is playing steadily.

Of the 50,000 elite troops, Zhang Fei assigned 10,000 elite troops to confront Zhang He in Chencang, Zhao Yun assigned 10,000 elite troops to confront Cao Zhang on the east bank of Wugong River, and 30,000 elite troops were stationed at Wuzhangyuan on the west bank of Wugong Mountain.

They are more than sixty miles apart from each other.

Different responses will naturally have different effects.

When merchant ships carrying 200,000 grains and rice arrived in Wuzhangyuan one after another, Liu Bei's granary fortress in Wuzhangyuan was also approaching completion.

There are granaries and dangerous fortresses, and the upper reaches of the Wei River are controlled by Liu Bei.

The entire Wuzhangyuan is like a newly built city on the banks of the Weishui River.

Cao Zhang is just the opposite.

Cao Zhang's grain and grass needed to be transported from Chang'an City to Yi County, and then from Yi County to the Wugong Water Front Camp.

After Liu Bei's Wuzhangyuan Granary was built, Cao Zhang's manpower and material resources for logistical transportation of grain were far greater than Liu Bei's!
If the soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain and grass will go first.

Whoever solves the problem of food and grass first will seize the opportunity to win first.

Zhuge Liang's strategy of taking Longyou was the surest way to prepare for taking Guanzhong.

When Zhuge Liang took Longyou, the balance of victory in Guanzhong had already tilted towards Liu Bei.

There is food in the storehouse, so there is no panic in the heart.

Even after confronting Cao Zhang for more than ten days with no success, Liu Bei remained calm.

On a high slope.

Liu Bei ordered people to prepare a large sunshade fan, then spread brocade mats on the ground, and ordered people to serve fruity water and wine.

From this angle, Liu Bei could easily see Cao Zhang's company in the distance.

Liu Bei invited Fa Zheng to sit at the same table, drinking and playing chess.

"Since His Majesty issued the "Edict to Defeat Wei", many scholars and people in Guanzhong have secretly sent people to express their goodwill."

"Cao Pi's popular support in Guanzhong is not as stable as expected."

Fazheng was talking about the recent situation in Guanzhong while making his move.

For example, in counties and towns such as Fengxiang, Qishan, and Haomi, many wealthy scholars and people responded to the news of Liu Bei's personal expedition.

It's just that these wealthy people don't dare to be too obvious, and they only want to show their kindness to Liu Bei in private.

Although there was suspicion of speculation, Liu Bei was good at appeasing these wealthy nobles and people who showed goodwill.

Just like Zhuge Qiao did to the wealthy Yang family in Yuezhi City, he allowed these wealthy people to sit back and watch the success or failure.

Liu Bei's magnanimity and magnificence also aroused respect in the hearts of these wealthy people.

Liu Bei also lost his temper and said: "Cao and his son are thieves, they deceive the emperor and ignore their superiors, they act cruelly and impatiently, and they are harsh to the people. How can they win the hearts of the people?"

"I am based on benevolence, cultivate literary virtues, and promote martial arts. How dare the soldiers and the people at this level not respect me?"

"Cao Pi's son first used Meng Da and then Cao Zhang. He only cultivated martial arts but not literary virtues. When he suddenly became rich, he really regarded himself as his destined emperor."

"It has been said since ancient times that a king is like a boat; a common man is like water; water carries the boat, and water overturns the boat."

"If Cao Pi doesn't understand this, how can he be my opponent?"

There was contempt in Liu Bei's tone.

Although Cao Cao was cruel and domineering, he was also skilled in both civil and military skills. In addition, Cao Cao was far more scheming and scheming than ordinary people, and the minions around him were also cruel and loyal, so they naturally suppressed the disobedience.

As for Cao Pi, who was named after his father, he forgot about his duties as soon as he ascended the throne. He actually asked Meng Da to oversee a hundred thousand troops on the western front, so that he lost his troops and generals and lost Longyou.

What made Liu Bei even more ridiculous was that after Cao Pi ascended the throne, he ordered the death of the queen and denounced his eldest son. This kind of self-extinction was something only a foolish emperor could do in the past dynasties.

Cao Pi's eldest son Cao Rui, Liu Bei has also heard of his reputation.

Cao Cao loved Cao Rui very much. At every banquet, Cao Rui would be placed alongside his ministers. He even praised Cao Rui, "With your family legacy, I can pass it on to three generations."

With such an eldest grandson, who wouldn’t love and respect him?
However, Cao Pi sent Cao Rui's biological mother to death simply because Zhen Mi complained about being left out.

If there are complaints, isn't it because Cao Pi went to Luoyang to favor Guo Zhao and abandoned Zhen Mi in Yecheng? It was Cao Pi's own doing!

The nobleman is in the palace and the queen is in the palace. This is such a weird thing that a stupid emperor would do.

Chat room.

One person arrived, it was Yang Yi who joined the army.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has a secret message for you." Yang Yi respectfully handed the secret message to Liu Bei.

I have to say that Yang Yi is quite speculative.

In the position of Shangshu, she was at odds with Liu Ba and made Liu Bei unhappy, so Yang Yi took the initiative to express her position to Liu Bei, hoping to gain experience in the army.

Liu Bei also valued Yang Yi's talent and learning, otherwise he would not have allowed Yang Yi, who used to be the chief secretary of Xiangyang under Cao Cao, to be the minister.

Yang Yi took the initiative to request training in the army, and Liu Bei naturally would not refuse.

Intellectuals gave up their high and comfortable positions in Chengdu and voluntarily went to the army to experience the hardships on the front line. Who can refuse this kind of consciousness?

Yang Yi was more knowledgeable than Ma Su and did not talk eloquently when he was training in the army. He followed the principle of not seeking merit but seeking no mistakes.

As long as you are more prudent and have more seniority in the army, won't it be a matter of time before you are appreciated and promoted by Liu Bei?

In Yang Yi's heart, she despised Ma Su extremely.

If you don’t have enough qualifications, how can you convince the public?
Before you have the qualifications, you have to do nothing; after you have the qualifications, who dares to say no?
Yang Yi's deliberate humility also successfully won Liu Bei's appreciation again, and all military chores in Wuzhangyuan were left to Yang Yi.

Yang Yi didn't complain about hardship. She had to happily complete the chores ordered by the emperor, even if she was working as a shit shovel.

Liu Bei opened the secret letter and glanced at it quickly, then closed it, with a hint of joy in his tone: "After more than ten days of confrontation with Huang Xu'er, it's time to stretch his muscles."

"Yang Yi, go and send an order to Zilong on the east bank to fight in front of the stronghold."

Although Yang Yi didn't know what was written in the secret letter, she was sensible enough not to ask any more questions and respectfully accepted the order and left.

Fazheng was a little surprised: "Why did your Majesty suddenly ask General Zhao to fight in front of the stronghold?"

Liu Bei handed the secret letter to Fazheng and said with a smile: "Cooperate with Nanzheng's extraordinary troops."

The content of Zhuge Liang's secret message is very simple. Wei Yanbing has left Ziwu Valley!

"The roads in Ziwu Valley are steep. Your Majesty, are you really confident that General Wei can go there?" Fazheng was a little surprised. This was the first time that Fazheng knew where Wei Yan was going.

These days, Fazheng also asked Liu Bei, but Liu Bei laughed and refused to answer.

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Don't underestimate Wen Chang when you are a filial piety. I dare to promote Wen Chang out of the ordinary, just because Wen Chang is outstanding."

"What's more, Ziwu Valley is just a surprise weapon. Whether it succeeds or fails, it will not affect my ability to deal with Huang Xu'er."

"Let Zilong go and fight today. Tomorrow I will go to the stronghold to fight in person. I will also let Huang Xuer understand how I killed Xiahou Yuan and defeated Cao Cao in Hanzhong in the past!"

Liu Bei's tone was full of heroism.

Although Cao Zhang came during the Battle of Hanzhong in the past, the Battle of Hanzhong was already over when he came.

Cao Zhang didn't know how tyrannical Cao Cao and Xia Houyuan faced in Hanzhong.

If Cao Zhang had fought in the Battle of Hanzhong, he would not have the aura of "a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers".

After receiving the military order, Zhao Yun asked Wu Ban to guard the stronghold, and Wu Yi led his troops to fight in front of Cao Zhang's stronghold.

"Hanzhong Guards Zhao Yun is here!"

"Huang Xu'er, do you dare to go out to the stronghold and fight!"

Although Zhao Yun is old, he is full of energy and his voice is as loud as a tiger or leopard.

Upon hearing Zhao Yun's challenge to fight, Cao Zhang immediately put on his halberd and led Xia Houba and other brave generals out of the stronghold.

"Old man, you finally dare to leave the stronghold."

"Shouldn't you be shy?"

Cao Zhang shouted angrily as soon as he opened his mouth.

For more than ten days, Zhao Yun followed Liu Bei's orders and only set up a stronghold on the east bank. No matter how insulted and provocative Cao Zhang was, he would not leave the stronghold, which made Cao Zhang extremely angry.

Today, when he heard that Zhao Yun came to the stronghold in person to start a fight, Cao Zhang could no longer contain the anger in his heart.

If Zhao Yun is not killed, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

Zhao Yun was not annoyed and laughed and said: "Huang Xu'er, if you are brave, do you dare to fight with me for several rounds in front of the battle? I won't bully you, how about I give you a hand?"

Cao Zhang was furious: "Old common man, how dare you insult me! Let's fight. Do you think I'm afraid of you? I'm just afraid that you, an old common man, will go back and become a tortoise after a few rounds of fighting!"

Just when Cao Zhang was about to ride his horse out into battle, Xiahou Ba quickly grabbed Cao Zhang and said, "General, don't be fooled. You are the commander-in-chief of the army, and Zhao Yun is just a veteran of Liu Bei's command."

"In a brave fight with Zhao Yun, winning will not show off the general's ability, but will make Liu Bei laugh at the general who only knows how to be brave and fight ruthlessly."

Cao Zhang was furious: "I pretend to fight with Zhao Yun, and you and the generals are waiting for the opportunity to lead the troops to a detour. I have many soldiers, so why be afraid of Zhao Yun!"

Done.

Ignoring Xiahou Ba's advice, Cao Zhang urged his horse and dragged his halberd towards Zhao Yun: "Old man, come out and fight me!"

Zhao Yun sneered and ordered Wu Yi, Chen Feng and other generals: "Cao Zhang is the commander-in-chief of the army but he wants to fight with me. He must be trying to contain me and secretly ordered the sergeants to outflank me."

"Chen Feng left fifty cavalry to assist me, and the rest of the troops were commanded by General Wu. He also asked me to play with this yellow bearded man for a while."

Wu Yi nodded: "General Zhao, be careful. Cao Zhang is brave and strong, so don't be careless."

Chen Feng, however, was full of confidence: "Cao Zhang relied on his bravery, but he didn't know that this bravery was also limited to areas."

Thinking of the old Xie Jing, who was known as the enemy of thousands of people in Jiangdong, but was killed by Zhao Yun's inadvertent arrow.

Zhao Yun disliked Xie Jing's death for being such a coward and didn't want any credit.

In Chen Feng's heart, Zhao Yun is the real enemy of ten thousand people, the real god!
A rare battle of bravery in front of the battle now appears between Zhao Yun and Cao Zhang. Although both of them have plans for each other, in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, this is a rare feast.

One is a mighty general who rides alone in the Han army, and the other is an unparalleled general in the Wei army who subdues the elephant and subdues the tiger.

It is recorded in "Shi Yi Ji. Mian Qi" that the king of Rencheng could draw a bow from left to right, and could cut off a person's beard and hair within a hundred steps with swordsmanship; he could grab the tiger's tail and wrap it around his arm, so that the tiger would not dare to make a sound against his ears; he could grab the trunk of a white elephant. , the white elephant lay on the ground and did not dare to move; it carried a huge bell on its back and left. Cao Pi praised him and said, "With the might of the king of the city, the annexation of Bashu is like an owl carrying a rotting rat."

but.

"Collection of Relics" is a mythological and strange novel written by Wang Jia during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The amount of bragging in it is probably similar to Li Yuanba's defeat of Yuwen Chengdu with two strikes, his defeat of Pei Yuanqing with three strikes, his defeat of Yuwen Chengdu with one strike, and his defeat of Yuwen Chengdu with two strikes. Defeating Luo Cheng with one move, killing Wu Tianxi with three moves, killing millions of soldiers at once, etc. are all equally mysterious. Reality is not a myth.

There was no Li Yuanba who descended from the gods, and there was also no King Ren of the city who subdued the elephant and subdued the tiger. There was only Cao Zhang who faced Zhao Yun who was "not yet furious" and fought evenly against him.

The more Cao Zhang fought, the more frightened he became.

The Zhao Yun in front of him is already over fifty years old, but his arm strength and reflexes are as good as his own in his prime?
Reality is not magic. People's physical strength and vitality are related to age.

Cao Zhang dared to insult Zhao Yun as an "old man" because he thought that Zhao Yun was old and whatever prestige he had before was just in the past.

How can an old soldier compare to a strong soldier without mentioning his former bravery?

"This old man is really difficult to deal with!" Cao Zhang did not dare to look down upon him.

It is said that young men are afraid of young men with punches and old men with sticks. Young men with strong blood and abundant physical strength can gain an advantage in strength; while old men have the advantage of having more than ten years of experience.

Now that Zhao Yun is not inferior to Cao Zhang in terms of strength, it is Cao Zhang's turn to be cautious.

If you can't defeat skill with strength, you can only compete with skill. But how can Cao Zhang's skill compare to Zhao Yun, who has been fighting for decades?
The last person who dared to fight Zhao Yun was Tianshui Qilin'er Jiang Wei, but he was also impressed by Zhao Yun's strength and skills.

Zhao Yun has always had a peaceful mind.

Because Zhao Yun knew very well that Cao Zhang was not of Xie Jing's level and could not be killed easily; Zhao Yun's purpose was not to kill Cao Zhang in a fighting style.

Seeing that Cao Zhang could not win, Xiahou Ba, who was holding the battle, secretly mobilized Xian Yufu, Dai Ling, Liu Ruo and other generals to outflank Zhao Yun, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity of Zhao Yun's duel with Cao Zhang to eat up Zhao Yun's troops.

Naturally, the movement of the Wei soldiers could not be hidden from Wu Yi, who was holding the battle. Wu Yi sneered and commanded the troops to flee on the flanks, leaving only Chen Feng and the other fifty knights behind.

The battlefield was changing rapidly. Just a moment ago, it was a battle between generals, but in a moment, it turned into a battle formation.

Zhao Yun noticed the changes on the battlefield, turned his horse's head and left.

As he walked, he taunted: "Huang Xu'er, you are no match for me in a single fight. Go back and lead the cavalry to fight with me!"

Cao Zhang was furious when he heard this and rode his horse to chase Zhao Yun.

Xiahou Ba saw it clearly from behind and shouted anxiously: "General, don't pursue me, it's Zhao Yun's trick!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yun turned his horse's head again, brandished his gun and laughed: "Huang Xu'er, are you going to single out my fifty plus riders?"

Cao Zhang was shocked to see that behind Zhao Yun, Chen Feng had already led more than fifty cavalry and was ready to go. His face instantly turned pale, he didn't even dare to say harsh words, he quickly turned his horse's head and ran towards the formation.

The distance between Zhao Yun and Cao Zhang is not far, so it is not easy to escape!
More than fifty riders immediately rode up to pursue him.

Seeing that Cao Zhang was in danger, Xiahou Ba quickly urged the Chinese army to rescue him.

With this movement, the Chinese army's formation was in chaos.

Who is Zhao Yun?

In the past, at the Han River, more than 50 cavalry dared to charge thousands of Cao's soldiers and kill them all. What I liked most was the chaos of Cao's soldiers.

As long as the military formation is in chaos, Zhao Yun will dare to charge with his cavalry!

Sometimes more people may not be an advantage.

For example, Zhao Yun led more than fifty cavalry into Cao Bing's army formation. Since there were too few targets, Zhao Yun could fire arrows at will, but Cao Bing did not dare to fire arrows randomly.

The consequence of shooting arrows randomly is that one's own family will be killed accidentally.

It would be even greater fun if someone's arrow hits Cao Zhang directly without an eye.

Zhao Yun repeated his old tricks and replayed the bravery of the Hanshui cavalry in the past. After wandering around Cao Zhang's Chinese army, he led the Chinese army and ran away.

Wu Yi also fought and retreated.

When approaching the Wugong Shuiying Stronghold, Wu Ban had already deployed a large number of archers in front of the stronghold. After Zhao Yun and Wu Yi led their troops into the stronghold, a large number of arrows flew directly towards the pursuing Cao soldiers.

After several rounds of arrows.

Zhao Yun again led his troops into formation in the stronghold, with flags waving and drums beating loudly. Cao Zhang was so angry that he could only stare in front of the stronghold.

let's hit.

Can't get in.

Don't fight.

Didn't Cao Zhang lose face after being teased and teased by Zhao Yun?

"Old man, come out and fight me for another three hundred rounds!" Cao Zhang angrily cursed in front of Zhao Yunzhai.

Zhao Yun has a typical good temper. He will not get angry easily on weekdays, and he will also not give up the favorable location of the camp to fight with less after Cao Zhang is prepared.

"Go, reply to Cao Zhang, and we will fight again tomorrow! If Cao Zhang refuses to retreat, provoke him to attack the stronghold." Zhao Yun ordered a few loud-mouthed soldiers, and only asked these soldiers to go to the gate of the stronghold to scold Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang saw that Zhao Yun could not leave the stronghold, so he could only retreat with curses.

This feeling of having nowhere to vent his anger made Cao Zhang very depressed.

After Cao Zhang retreated, Liu Bei came to Zhao Yun's camp in person, along with the meat soup, food, water and wine he had prepared.

The officers and men in the camp were overjoyed.

The food in this army cannot include broth, water and wine every meal. Most of the time, you will be full of food.

Meat, water and wine are only served when the troops are rewarded.

It was a rare opportunity to win back Yaji, so the soldiers were naturally very happy.

Liu Bei summoned Zhao Yun, Wu Yi and Wu Ban, and after carefully asking about today's battle situation, he said: "Zilong will work hard again tonight and lead an elite army to rob Cao Zhang's camp."

"There is no need to go deep. If Cao Zhang is prepared, he will evacuate quickly. Don't judge merit based on the success of robbing the camp. Don't ask for merit, but ask for no faults. Let Cao Zhang know, 'I sent generals to rob the camp.' It is enough."

"After withdrawing, there is no need to return in a hurry. After Cao's soldiers go to sleep, they can rob the camp again. There is no need to go deep, they can leave as soon as they touch it."

Zhao Yun has been with Liu Bei for a long time and understands Liu Bei's tactics.

Rather than rob the camp, it is better to use false and true tactics to disturb the enemy, so that Cao Zhang had to arrange a large number of soldiers to guard the camp at night.

Cao Zhang didn't know which time Zhao Yun was false or true.

the other side.

Cao Zhang returned to the camp and was greeted by Sima Yi, the supervisor of the army.

Sima Yi originally returned to Yi County to collect food supplies, but suddenly heard that Cao Zhang and Zhao Yun were fighting, so he hurried back from Yi County.

"General Zhenxi, how is the war today?" Sima Yi met Cao Zhang and quickly asked about the situation of the war.

Cao Zhang snorted coldly: "A great victory today! Zhao Yun was so beaten by me that he didn't dare to leave the stronghold."

Sima Yi was immediately speechless.

Zhao Yun only has 10,000 soldiers, and we have 60,000 soldiers. Isn't it normal for Zhao Yun to be beaten and afraid to leave the stronghold?

I'm asking about the specific battle situation!
Cao Zhang also felt that this seemed a bit exaggerated, so he asked Xiahou Ba to describe the day's war to Sima Yi.

"Liu Bei has been confronting my army for more than ten days, but he has never let Zhao Yun leave the stronghold. There must be a conspiracy to suddenly leave the stronghold today."

"General, don't underestimate us tonight. We can hide an army in the camp and be on guard against Liu Bei sending generals to rob the camp."

Sima Yi calmly analyzed the current situation and proposed a prudent and steady response.

Cao Zhang chuckled: "That's fine if Liu Bei doesn't come to rob the camp. If he comes to rob the camp, I will annihilate all his troops and horses."

"Xiahou Ba, tonight you lead an army to ambush outside the camp. If you see Liu Bei's troops, lead them out."

"If I ambush another soldier in the camp, Liu Bei's troops will come without any hesitation!"

Sima Yi advised: "General, don't bother the troops; Liu Bei is well versed in the art of war and will not think that he can defeat us by robbing the camp."

"I think this is a distraction tactic, and it is also a false and true tactic. If we see that our army is prepared, we will withdraw and will never go deep."

"The purpose of hiding an army in the camp is to scare off Liu Bei's troops who rob the camp. The rest of the troops can also recharge their batteries."

"If we trouble all the troops and Liu Bei brings a large army to attack tomorrow, the army will be exhausted and the general will not be able to fight, which will dampen the vigor of our army."

Cao Zhang deeply hated Zhao Yun and wished that Liu Bei would send people to rob the camp. He would not listen to Sima Yi's advice: "Join the army. You go to Xi County to collect food. If the food does not come back, you will come back first."

"If you take the lead in violating military orders, who else in the army will take the general's orders seriously?"

"What you have to do now is to return to Xi County overnight and have the food and grass delivered as soon as possible, instead of telling me here about bothering the troops."

"No need to say more, I am the commander-in-chief of the army!"

"What's more, I don't think you are bothering the troops tonight. You have expected that Liu Bei will come to rob the camp. How can I not seize the opportunity?"

When Sima Yi saw Cao Zhang mentioning military regulations, he stopped talking and had no choice but to retreat.

"General Zhenxi is stubborn, I'm afraid he will fall into Liu Bei's scheme tonight." Sima Yi thought for a while, came to the other camp to find Yu Jin, and told Yu Jin his guess.

Although Yu Jin was activated, he was only assigned the position of training sergeants by Cao Zhang. Except for the thousand tiger soldiers given by Cao Pi, Cao Zhang did not assign any troops to Yu Jin.

"What the supervisor said makes sense."

"Liu Bei has been good at fighting for a long time. If General Zhenxi can fight steadily, there will be nothing Liu Bei can do."

"If you are eager to win, you will fall into Liu Bei's tricks."

"It's just that I am guilty now and I dare not exceed my status."

Yu Jin sighed.

Cao Zhang and Yu Jin had little friendship, so it was impossible for Yu Jin to say a few words and Cao Zhang would listen.

Sima Yi said solemnly: "You don't need the general to do things that exceed your status. I have long heard that the general is the most important military law. If I don't return, I only need to fulfill my duties to the general to prevent the sergeants from encountering accidents and confusion."

Yu Jin nodded: "If it's just like this, I can do it with the presence of these thousands of tiger soldiers."

Sima Yi walked toward Xi County worriedly.

That night.

Zhao Yun and Wu Yi led their troops to Cao Zhang's camp to rob it.

But Liu Bei, who returned to Wuzhangyuan, summoned Ma Chao, Zhang Nan and other generals and gave detailed instructions.

"Tonight Zilong will rob Cao Zhang's camp. I expect that Cao Zhang will be on guard tonight, so I will only let Zilong go away at a touch."

"Sergeant Cao Zhang has been fighting during the day. If we try to maintain a mental ambush tonight, we will definitely be in trouble."

"I intend to select 800 strong soldiers, go around to the south mountain of Cao Zhang's camp, and launch a surprise attack at dawn. I will lead the army to respond."

"Who is willing to lead troops there?"
