Three Kingdoms: I, Liu Feng, do not want to die

Chapter 45 Your master Liu Feng is here, do you rats dare to fight?
Lu Meng did not dare to hesitate.

The people in this city are still undecided, and the surrounding cities have not yet attached themselves. There can be no accidents at this time.

Lu Meng immediately sent scouts out of the city to inquire about Ma Zhong's whereabouts.

The scouts went out quickly and came back quickly.

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, General Ma encountered fifty cavalrymen outside the city. The leader claimed to be Guan Sheng, a captain under Guan Yu. He was very brave and killed more than thirty of General Ma's men with his exhausted soldiers, and injured more than fifty."

"General Ma was indignant, so he left the wounded soldiers behind and chased in the direction of Dangyang."

Lu Meng was a little confused after hearing this.

Guan Sheng?

Is there such a person under Guan Yu’s command?
Yu Fan guessed, "Commander-in-chief, this man is most likely a fellow villager of Guan Yu's clan. He must be returning to the city on military business. We must not let Guan Sheng escape. We need to send more troops to support him."

Lü Meng hesitated: "Now that I have captured Jiangling City, I should first capture Lingling, Wuling and Yidu. Why should I waste my military strength to chase Guan Sheng?"

Yu Fan said: "Cao Cao is treacherous and will not sincerely join forces with the Supreme. If Cao Cao deliberately leaked the news to Guan Yu, Guan Yu most likely sent Guan Sheng back to gather military intelligence."

"Guan Yu's family is not in the city now. If we let Guan Sheng escape back to Fancheng, Guan Yu might withdraw his troops early. We haven't captured Yidu yet, and we haven't cut off Guan Yu's way back to Sichuan. If we let Guan Yu escape, there will be endless troubles."

"Commander-in-chief, don't be careless!"

Lu Meng stood up and paced.

Both calming the people's hearts and capturing Yidu will take time.

If Guan Yu really withdrew his troops early, Lu Meng would also be very uncomfortable.

After a while.

Lü Meng ordered coldly: "Pass on my military order. Order Pan Zhang to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to quickly support Ma Zhong. Order Xu Sheng to lead 1,000 naval forces to search along the Ju River. Do not let Guan Yu's family escape."

"Order Lu Xun to lead 10,000 naval forces to Yidu immediately. Make sure to capture Zigui and attack Baidi City."

"Send an edict to the counties of Wuling and Lingling that Jiangling has been recaptured by the Supreme Lord. If they raise the flag and surrender, their positions will be restored. If they do not surrender, they will be killed without mercy."

Military orders were issued one after another.

The Wu soldiers in Jiangling City were also mobilized quickly.

Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of some officials in the city.

"At this time, Lu Meng is still dispatching troops. Is there something wrong outside the city?"

Although I was confused, no one could answer it.

In order to prevent officials in the city from discussing with each other, Lu Meng detained important officials separately.

For example, Wang Fu, an official of the Yicao Department, Liao Hua, the former chief clerk of the general, and Pan Jun, an official of the Zhizhong Department, were all detained at home and heavily guarded, and were not allowed to go in or out.

All the military officers and lieutenants in the city were also imprisoned to prevent them from causing trouble in the city.

Liao Hua, the only person who knew the truth, was now lying alone at home.

nowadays.

Liao Hua could do nothing but keep a low profile as much as possible to avoid arousing Lu Meng's suspicion.

After all, Liao Hua went to the former general's mansion yesterday and Liao Hua's mother also followed him out of the city. If Lu Meng puts these details together, Liao Hua's situation will become extremely dangerous.

Fortunately.

Lu Meng did not notice this detail at the moment, and Yu Fan did not interrogate the servants in Guan Yu's mansion one by one.

Yu Fan is not a god either.

Although he could sense the strangeness of Guan Yu's family not returning from the city and asked the servants in Guan Yu's house, he could not immediately connect the dots that this was related to Liao Hua.

While the officials in the city were trembling with fear, Ma Zhong outside the city looked somewhat disheartened.

After Ma Zhong "defeated" Liu Feng once, Liu Feng launched an ambush and Ma Zhong lost more than ten men and injured more than thirty men.

Ma Zhong originally wanted to give up chasing Liu Feng, but when Liu Feng saw Ma Zhong retreating, he launched a counterattack. Then Liu Feng was hit by an arrow and fled in embarrassment.

This gave Ma Zhong the confidence to retreat, but it was this confidence that caused Ma Zhong to be defeated again, losing more than ten people and injuring more than twenty people.

In one day, they fought five battles, lost three and won two. Of the five hundred soldiers, more than fifty died and more than a hundred were injured.

Such a casualty ratio made Ma Zhongxin bleed.

The only items Ma Zhong captured were "dry food", "bows and arrows", "armor", "luggage", etc. He did not leave any of Liu Feng's cavalry behind, let alone the war horses!
After the third defeat, Ma Zhong realized everything.

All these talk about being tired from coming from afar and being at the end of one's strength are just pretense!

From beginning to end, Ma Zhong was fooled by Liu Feng!
When Liu Feng used the same trick to attack for the sixth time, Ma Zhong simply chose to avoid it.

piss off!
This is too bullying. I don’t want to play with you anymore!

therefore.

When Ma Zhong saw Pan Zhang leading his troops to support him, Pan Zhang's voice of grievance was so loud that he looked disgusted and wanted to keep his distance from Ma Zhong.

Shame on you!
As Ma Zhong's boss, Pan Zhang was also very unhappy with Ma Zhong's performance.

Pan Zhang could have been in Jiangling City drinking, eating meat, and sleeping with the women in Mi Fang's mansion, but he was sent out by Lu Meng to support Ma Zhong.

Just support it.

Pan Zhang felt that this was not a difficult military task, just fifty cavalrymen.

It is estimated that Ma Zhong had already captured these fifty riders before they even saw them.

result.

Ma Zhong was defeated!

After six defeats, more than fifty of the five hundred soldiers were killed and more than a hundred were injured, but not even a single soldier or horse of the fifty cavalrymen was left.

The only thing Ma Zhong could brag about was that he shot "Guan Sheng", the leader who was suspected to be Guan Ping.

Although Liu Feng's sixth attack proved that the arrow did not break the defense at all, it did not prevent Ma Zhong from flattering himself.

"What a waste!"

"Commander-in-Chief Lu is very dissatisfied with you. If you fail to capture Guan Sheng, you will be punished when you return to the city!"

Pan Zhang didn't want to listen to Ma Zhong's complaints, so he took his soldiers to chase him overnight.

In fact, Liu Feng wanted to run in the dark, but Pan Zhang couldn't even catch the direction Liu Feng was running.

It's just that Liu Feng deliberately interfered with Pan Zhang's judgment and bought as much time as possible for Guan Yu's family to retreat, which allowed Pan Zhang to track them.

Fight as you go.

When we arrived at Dangyang, it was already dawn.

Looking at Liu Feng standing alone on Dangyang Bridge, Pan Zhang's face changed drastically: "This is not Guan Sheng, this is Liu Feng!"

Ma Zhong held a low-ranking official position and did not recognize Liu Feng.

As a general of the Eastern Wu, Pan Zhang naturally recognized Liu Feng.

He thought he was chasing Guan Sheng, but unexpectedly it was Liu Feng who showed up. This made Pan Zhang realize that he had been deceived by Liu Feng.

Ma Zhong was also shocked: "Liu Feng? Liu Bei's adopted son Liu Feng? Isn't he in Shangyong? Why is he in Jiangling City?"

soon.

Ma Zhong reacted again and was very angry:

"No! I was deceived. Guan Yu's family must have been taken away by Liu Feng's men. When they saw me leading troops to chase them, they deliberately led me to Dangyang."

"Damn it! No wonder Liu Feng could have defeated me in one fight yesterday, but he fought me six times and let me win two of them."

"You are playing a trick on me so that you can buy time for Guan Yu's family to evacuate to Linju."

Think of this.

Ma Zhong shouted angrily: "Liu Feng, how dare you show up here? I will capture you alive today!"

Seeing that his identity was exposed, Liu Feng stopped pretending, held his spear and rode his horse, laughing and shouting: "Your master Liu Feng is here, do you dare to fight?"
