Three Kingdoms: Wolong's brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou

A few days later, north of Huyang City.

The Han army marched southward in a mighty force and took this important town directly.

The spy quickly sent back the information.

Cao Pi, the remnant of the Qin State, is now leading tens of thousands of Qin troops to fight.

There is no doubt that Cao Pi wanted to go north to meet the enemy.

This information really surprised Liu Bei.

You have to know that he brought more than 200,000 Han troops.

With so many soldiers and horses, even his father was no match for them.

And this kid Cao Pi dares to fight with only such a small number of troops?

Even if everyone spits, the Qin army can be drowned.

Cao Pi was clearly seeking death.

"The Cao family puppy!"

"Since you are seeking death, I will kill you!"

At this time, Xiao Fang looked calm and reminded:

"Your Majesty, I think that Cao Pi's move is a trick?"

"What do you mean, Prime Minister?"

Liu Bei became alert.

After all, Cao Pi was not so stupid.

Would he be so stupid as to come here and ask for death?
This move is indeed questionable.

"I think this might be Cheng Yu's plan."

"He wanted to use Cao Pi as bait, feigning defeat, and then lure our army into pursuing him."

"I estimate that the enemy will set up an ambush along the way."

"Once our army falls into the trap and ambushes are set in motion, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Xiao Fang expressed his judgment.

Liu Bei suddenly realized and couldn't help cursing:
"Cheng Yu is such a cunning thief."

"Fortunately, the Prime Minister saw through his evil plan, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."

After scolding.

Liu Bei asked Xiao Fang how to respond.

Xiao Fang whispered a plan into Liu Bei's ear.

Liu Bei sneered and shouted:

"Pass the order, all armies continue south."

"I want to see what that southern barbarian thief and Cao Pi are capable of!"

So, the imperial edict was issued.

The Han army marched southward in great force.

...

Dusk.

The Han army advanced to the north of Huyang.

The scouts discovered that enemy troops appeared three or five miles to the south.

Liu Bei then ordered the entire army to set up camp and wait for Cao Pi to make the first move.

Before the setting sun.

A declaration of war was sent to the Han camp and placed in front of Liu Bei.

That war book madman.

In his letter of challenge, Cao Pi cursed Liu Bei's crimes, made wild remarks, and invited Liu Bei to a decisive battle the next day.

Cao Pi also declared that he would personally cut off Liu Bei's head as a sacrifice to Cao Cao's spirit in heaven.

"This little dog from the Cao family is really self-righteous!"

"I just want to see how capable he is."

Liu Bei sneered and shouted:

"Reply to that little dog, and I will fight him!"

The reply to the declaration of war was sent to the Qin camp.

...

The next day.

It's almost dawn.

The Han army, in large and small formations, surged toward the south.

Covered by dust and fog, the shadows of the Qin army soon came into view.

A hint of sarcasm appeared on Liu Bei's lips.

He wanted to see what tricks Cao Cao's son could play.

then.

Liu Bei was not in a hurry, he just sat and watched Cao Pi jumping up and down.

In a blink of an eye, the Qin and Han armies were in a standoff.

Inside the Qin formation.

Cao Pi was trembling slightly.

The Han army indeed had as many as 200,000 troops.

How can we fight when our army has only more than 10,000 soldiers?
Cao Pi could only hope that Cheng Yu's plan would succeed.

"Father, oh father, if you are still alive, please help my son succeed!"

Cao Pi looked up at the sky and took a deep breath.

Then, he drew his sword and pointed forward:
"Qin army, listen to my orders, attack!"

order.

The Qin army was horrified and turned around to look at him.

crazy?

This thought arose in everyone's mind.

Everyone thought Cao Pi was crazy!

Even Cao Cao was no match for Liu Bei.

Hundreds of millions of Qin troops were destroyed by Liu Bei.

Now, you, Cao Pi, let these more than 10,000 people take the initiative to attack the 200,000-strong Han army?
Are you sending us to our deaths?
If he wasn't crazy, what else could he do?

No one moved.

Cao Pi was furious, drew his sword, and killed the general.

A soldier fell to the ground.

A tragic cry was heard.

The soldier's head fell to the ground with a loud bang. This move frightened the Qin army to death.

Cao Pi raised his bloody sword and said sternly:

"Anyone who dares to disobey orders is a traitor to the Qin Empire!"

"I will kill him!"

Cao Pi held up the soldier's head and shouted loudly to the soldiers.

The soldiers gasped and rushed towards the Han army shouting.

North direction.

A sneer appeared on Liu Bei's lips, full of sarcasm.

He had never expected that Cao Pi would use such a cruel method - killing - to intimidate his soldiers and force them to fight.

"Cao Cao, your son is just like you, cruel and merciless."

Liu Bei smiled coldly.

After saying this, the sneer on Liu Bei's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a strong murderous intent.

He pointed his sword at the enemy and gave a stern order:
"Listen to my order, kill all the remnants of the Qin State, and leave no one alive!"

As the order was given, the sound of war drums in the battle formation suddenly rang out, deafening.

The Han army soldiers were aroused. They waved their weapons and rushed towards the Qin army like tigers descending from the mountains.

Their hearts were filled with hatred. After defeating Cao Cao, they wanted to return home to reunite with their wives and children and enjoy the happiness of family life.

However, Cao Pi still resisted stubbornly and refused to surrender, which made it impossible for them to achieve their wish.

In desperation, they could only follow Liu Bei south to pacify the Southern Barbarians and eliminate Cao Pi.

After going deep into the south, they suffered from the heat.

In their eyes, all these sufferings were caused by Cao Pi.

Therefore, they hated Cao Pi to the core, and at this moment, they all held hatred in their hearts and waved their long swords to kill Cao Pi.

The two armies of Qin and Han, with deafening shouts of killing, rushed towards each other like two torrents.

It seemed that the two armies were about to collide with each other and a brutal battle would begin.

At this moment, Cheng Yu suddenly shouted:
"Quickly withdraw the troops, the timing is perfect!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Pi hurriedly shouted:

"Ming Jin, withdraw your troops!"

As the command flag waved, the golden sound of "clang clang clang" resounded throughout the wilderness.

Upon seeing this, the Qin army fled in panic.

When the Han army saw that the enemy fled without a fight, their morale was greatly boosted and their morale was high.

They chased the fleeing Qin army desperately, with greed and hatred flashing in their eyes.

In their eyes, those Qin soldiers were symbols of fame, wealth and power, so how could they not chase them desperately?
The sound of killing shook the sky and echoed throughout the wilderness.

Seeing this, Liu Bei couldn't help but laugh:
“Jing Lue is right, there is indeed a trick.

Cao Pi, do you think you can fool me with this little trick of yours? "

He sneered and shouted:

"Zhao Zilong, listen to my orders!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun jumped forward and bowed to accept the order.

"I order you to pursue the Qin army and make sure to capture them all in one fell swoop!"

Liu Bei gave the order.

"promise!"

Zhao Yun took the order and led the soldiers in the front army to break the formation and pursue the Qin army.

Zhao Yun charged forward, rushing towards the enemy with full of anger.

"Jinglue!"

After Liu Bei issued the order, he turned to Xiao Fang and asked:
"If they are faking defeat, why do you still pursue them? Isn't this just courting death?"

He didn't quite understand Xiao Fang's intention and was full of doubts.

"Your Majesty, please do not ask any more questions. Just follow the plan."

Xiao Fang smiled without saying anything and did not directly answer Liu Bei's question.

Seeing this, Liu Bei had no choice but to wave his hand and give the order:

"Zhuge Dan, Guan Ping, listen to my orders!"

Two young generals rode forward and bowed to receive the order.

Liu Bei pointed with his whip and ordered:
"You two will each lead your troops and act accordingly."

"promise!"

The two generals took the order and left, each leading their army.

Xiao Fang bowed again and said:
"Your Majesty, please mobilize the army and pursue the enemy with all your strength!"

Liu Bei then gave the order: "All troops, listen up! Chase the enemy and kill them all. Don't leave any alive!"

When the horn sounded, the soldiers rushed out like a tide, and the Han army pursued them relentlessly.

The pursuit began.

Before I knew it, several hours had passed.

A few miles north of Shanghai, the mountains gradually rise, with a narrow road in the middle connecting the north and the south.

At this time, Zhao Yun's Han army had successfully caught up with the defeated Qin army.

Zhao Yun waved his silver spear and harvested lives one after another.

The Han army killed Qin soldiers at will and collected their heads.

The Qin soldiers who had no time to retreat fell one after another under the pursuit of the Han army, and blood flowed like a river.

When Cao Pi saw this, he felt heartbroken.

He had only this few soldiers left, and this time he lost more than half of them in order to lure the Han army into pursuit.

How could he not be heartbroken?

"I just hope this sacrifice can be exchanged for a victory."

Cao Pi clenched his fists and looked at the hillsides on both sides.

On the hillside, Meng Huo stood on his horse with his sword drawn, overlooking the fighting on the mountain path.

"Cheng Yu is indeed a wise man, and Liu Bei really fell for it."

Meng laughed complacently and said, "God helps me, haha!"

He became even more conceited.

He was originally conceited and thought that Liu Bei was just a figurehead and that the Qin State was too useless.

Now that Liu Bei fell into the trap easily, he began to look down on Liu Bei.

He thought defeating Liu Bei would be an easy task, as if he had already seen an opportunity to crush the Han army.

After the laughter stopped, Meng Huo pointed to the mountain and said:
"Listen to my orders, ambush and kill all the Han dogs!"

The sound of the horn echoed in the valley. (End of this chapter)
