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

Chapter 85: Heaven's Will Protects the Han Dynasty, Liu Feng Captures Quan Cong with One Arm
Liu Feng arranged for Li Ping to launch a surprise attack on Jiangjinkou, but he did not foresee that the commander Quan Cong would be the one to rescue Jiangjinkou.

In the military order given by Liu Feng.

Li Ping had only two tasks: one was to launch a surprise attack on Jiangjinkou to lure Quan Cong to send troops to rescue, and the other was to ambush the reinforcements while they were well rested.

In order to prevent Li Ping's troops from being isolated, Liu Feng also told Li Ping that he could retreat along the same route if the ambush failed.

In other words.

The core of Li Ping's mission was not to seize Jiangjinkou, but to divide Quan Cong's troops in order to cover up Liu Feng's intention to detain Quan Cong outside the city and wait for an opportunity to seize Jiangling.

And now.

The Wu soldiers' support that Li Ping faced was beyond Liu Feng's expectations. It was actually the main general Quan Cong who came to rescue Jiangjinkou!
Li Ping, who was able to become the Yamen General, was not just a brainless warrior. The moment he saw Quan Cong's flag, Li Ping concluded that capturing Quan Cong alive could help Liu Feng plan to seize Jiangling.

Li Ping’s judgment was not wrong.

Liu Feng did not want Quan Cong to suffer too badly a defeat, for he was afraid that Quan Cong would become cowardly and return to the city with his troops to defend it.

Since Quan Cong hid well outside the north gate, Liu Feng's spies were unable to detect Quan Cong's flag.

If Liu Feng knew that Quan Cong was outside the north gate at that time, he would not have waited in the general's tent at all, but would have led his troops out of the north gate to capture Quan Cong directly.

If Quan Cong can be captured alive, the situation in the entire Jiangling will undergo a qualitative change.

If the main general who left the city was captured, the blow to the morale of the Wu soldiers would be no less than that of Lu Meng being critically ill.

Licking his cracked lips, Li Ping called the scout again and asked him to return to the stronghold as soon as possible to deliver the message.

It was not that Li Ping was afraid of Quan Cong's troops, but that Li Ping was worried that Quan Cong would have a backup plan and missed the opportunity to capture Quan Cong alive.

Sending the message to Liu Feng was also to increase the probability of capturing Quan Cong alive.

At this moment, Quan Cong had no idea that he had been targeted for capture.

Quan Cong was very angry at the Han soldiers who came to attack Jiangjinkou.

In Quan Cong's opinion, if it were not for this Han army's surprise attack on Jiangjinkou, they might have already broken through Liu Feng's camp and captured Liu Feng alive.

"Shhhh."

The neighing of war horses sounded in front of Quan Cong, and the scout reported on horseback: "General, no trace of the bandits was found at Jiangjinkou. The remaining garrison commander said that the bandits had left for two quarters of an hour."

"They run so fast!" Quan Cong was indignant and ordered the troops to keep moving forward.

A lieutenant asked in confusion: "General, since the enemy soldiers have already fled, why do we still have to go to Jiangjinkou? It's getting dark, why don't we return to the camp?"

Quan Cong glared at the lieutenant and said, "The enemy soldiers ran away because we came to help. If we return to the camp, how do you know that the enemy soldiers will not come back? Let's go to Jiangjinkou to deploy defenses first, and rest at Jiangjinkou tonight. Don't lose the big picture because of a small loss."

The lieutenant retreated silently.

It won't take long.

Quan Cong suddenly became alert again and called the scout to ask, "Did the garrison commander at Jiangjinkou tell me which direction the bandits fled to?"

The scout shook his head: "I don't know."

Quan Cong began to feel suspicious.

Although there are no high mountains in the Jiangling area, there are many hills, tombs, and woods and grass, so it is possible to hide soldiers if you want to. As dusk approaches, the sky gradually darkens, and scouts may not be able to detect the soldiers who are hiding.

Think of this.

Quan Cong also ordered all military schools to be careful and alert.

The military schools disagreed, thinking that Quan Cong's worries were unnecessary. Could it be that the Han soldiers who came to attack would not take the opportunity to escape but would leave an ambush?

It won't take long.

Quan Cong looked at the terrain ahead and became even more suspicious.

If Quan Cong had been in high spirits this morning, he would not have been so cautious.

However, today's attack on the camp dealt Quan Cong a heavy blow, especially after he learned that Liu Feng, while guarding the camp, also sent troops to launch surprise attacks on Jiangjinkou and his own camp. The arrogance that was aroused by Liu Feng's tactic of showing weakness was mostly eliminated.

Quan Cong also read military books and had seen many battle examples similar to Sun Bin's ambush of Pang Juan.

With the mentality that it is better to be cautious, Quan Cong sent several teams of soldiers to explore the hills and tombs on both sides, even though there were many complaints from the military academies.

"This thief is quite cautious."

Li Ping, who was lurking here, saw that it was difficult to hide his whereabouts, so he gave up the idea of waiting for Quan Cong to lead half of his troops over and then cut off their route so that he could not take care of both ends, and directly led his troops to attack.

"Under the command of the Deputy General of the Han Army, the Guard General Li Ping is here. You little bastard Quan Cong, why don't you surrender early!"

Li Ping stood up, holding his gun and shouting. The Han soldiers lurking in the hills and tombs on both sides also showed up one after another, with flags waving and shouts like thunder.

Seeing Li Ping's ambush troops appear, Quan Cong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but sneer: "If I was cut off by the bandits due to negligence and couldn't take care of both ends, I might be a little afraid."

"Now that I have discovered your ambush, how dare you still act so arrogantly in front of me? Everyone, listen to my orders. Now is the time to perform meritorious deeds. If you defeat this bandit army, I will personally commend you in front of the Marquis of Wu."

The military academies secretly rejoiced.

If Quan Cong had not been cautious, he would have been ambushed by the Han soldiers.

At dusk, an unprepared army was suddenly ambushed and cut in half, unable to take care of both ends. It would be a disaster!
The military officers were all impressed by Quan Cong's recovery, and seeing that he remained calm when faced with an ambush, their courage doubled, and they shouted and rushed towards the Han soldiers.

The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road.

Although the Wu soldiers were brave, the Han soldiers were even more fierce.

Most of the 3,000 soldiers and horses that Li Ping brought were from Jingzhou assigned by Guan Yu.

In terms of physique alone, the Han soldiers from Jingzhou and the Wu soldiers from Jiangdong are both southern soldiers, and the difference between them is not that big.

But when it comes to morale, the gap is obvious.

When Guan Yu divided his troops, he sent those with the worst morale to Fangling, the next best to Lukou, and the strongest to Maicheng. Those sent to Maicheng were screened by Liu Feng on whether to "stay or go to visit relatives", and in the end, those who were left were a group of miserable soldiers who deeply hated Sun Quan and were unwilling to compromise.

This was also one of the reasons why Liu Feng dared to bring Han soldiers from Jingzhou to Jiangling City. Liu Feng's words to Jin, "The soldiers in my camp are a bunch of pitiful soldiers, and they are worried that they have no place to vent their anger," were not just casual remarks.

If these Han soldiers did not have the spirit of a mournful army, Liu Feng would not have dared to be so arrogant.

When Li Ping's Han soldiers saw Quan Cong's Wu soldiers, their grief and indignation surged like a tide, and they shouted "Kill the Wu dogs!" one after another.

Before the ambush, Li Ping instilled in the Han soldiers the concept that "capturing Quan Cong alive will allow us to recapture Jiangling", which made the Han soldiers even more murderous.

There was no need for Li Ping to take the lead, as the fearless Han soldiers rushed towards Quan Cong's central army flag with all their might.

The brutality of the Han soldiers made Quan Cong's scalp tingle.

Quan Cong, who was confident of his large number of soldiers and had seen through Li Ping's ambush, was determined to destroy Li Ping's troops, but found that Li Ping's troops were extremely brave.

Quan Cong couldn't help but think of Ding Feng, Xu Sheng, and Ma Zhong's failure in attacking the stronghold today, and slapped his thigh suddenly: "We were careless! These are a group of carefully selected soldiers!"

Seeing the Han soldiers becoming more and more courageous, Quan Cong did not dare to fight anymore. Fighting with a group of fearless soldiers with red eyes?

Isn't that just looking for abuse?
"withdraw!"

Quan Cong ordered the drums to stop and blew the horn quickly.

It was thanks to Quan Cong's timely decision. If the battle horn had been sounded later, these thousands of Wu soldiers would have been defeated on their own.

Hearing the sound of the horn, all the Wu soldiers turned around and ran after Quan Cong's flag.

Seeing that the duck at his mouth was about to fly away, Li Ping became anxious.

The ambush plan failed and failed to divide Quan Cong's troops. Just when they had an advantage in morale by relying on the advantage of their desperate army, Quan Cong actually ran away.

After all, you are a commander, so stay and fight me to the death!

"Quan Cong, why are you running away?"

Li Ping shouted urgently, and the Han soldiers around him also shouted.

All of a sudden.

Shouts of "Quan Cong, why are you running away?" came one after another.

Quan Cong, who was running in front, was so angry that his internal organs were boiling with anger, and he felt like a mouthful of blood was about to rush up to his throat.

"Today's humiliation will be repaid tomorrow!"

Quan Cong was not blinded by anger. It would be extremely unwise to stop and fight with the crazy Han soldiers at this time.

Temporary victory or defeat means nothing.

After returning to the camp and reorganizing the troops, Quan Cong was confident that he could fight back and wash away today's shame.

Under the dim sky.

The Wu soldiers rushed towards their camp, while the Han soldiers chased them closely.

Although Quan Cong had war horses, he did not dare to abandon the army and run away alone. Quan Cong was afraid that another group of Han soldiers would show up and attack him on the way.

however.

Sometimes fate is magical.

The more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen.

In the cold wind.

A troop of soldiers stood in front.

The leading general, with a handsome face and eyes as sharp as torches, was Liu Feng, who had received an urgent report from Li Ping.

Seeing Liu Feng's banner, Quan Cong's pupils shrank: "Why is Liu Feng here? Is Liu Feng not in the camp today?"

In Quan Cong's opinion: this place is still several miles away from Liu Feng's camp, and Liu Feng's camp is surrounded by the armies of Ding Feng, Xu Sheng and Ma Zhong, so it is impossible for him to appear in this position.

soon.

Quan Cong sensed something was wrong again.

Even though it was dark and difficult to see clearly, Quan Cong could tell that there were a lot of soldiers behind Liu Feng.

Quan Cong became even more suspicious: It couldn't be that there were nine thousand people attacking the camp today, and Liu Feng's camp actually only had two or three thousand people?

"kill!"

Liu Feng did not chat with Quan Cong.

Quan Cong is not Yu Jin, so there is no need for him to chat in front of the battle.

There are not many chances to capture Quan Cong alive!

Liu Feng did not expect that Quan Cong, as a commander-in-chief, would personally go to rescue Jiangjinkou.

In Liu Feng's initial expectation, the generals who would rescue Jiangjinkou should be Han Dang, Ding Feng, Xu Sheng and Ma Zhong, so he told Li Ping to retreat along the same route if the ambush failed.

Liu Feng was afraid that Li Ping would meet Han Dangping and lose his life in vain.

Whether in terms of personal bravery or experience in commanding troops, Li Ping is far inferior to Han Dang, the former fierce general who followed Sun Jian in his battles.

As a result, Li Ping sent someone to bring an urgent report that it was Quan Cong who rescued Jiangjinkou!
For Liu Feng, this was no less than having a pillow given to him when he was sleepy!
Therefore, after receiving Li Ping's urgent report, Liu Feng immediately led most of the soldiers out of the camp, leaving only Kou Anguo and Deng Xian with a thousand soldiers to guard the camp.

He also sent people to find Li Fu and asked him to go outside Quan Cong's camp and light more torches to bluff the enemy, so that Ding Feng and others who were returning to the camp would be suspicious and dare not act rashly.

Seeing Liu Feng rushing to kill him as soon as they met, Quan Cong could no longer remain calm.

Fight with Liu Feng?

There is a tiger in front and a wolf behind. Quan Cong would have to be crazy to fight with Liu Feng.

The only thing in Quan Cong's mind at this moment was "escape". He turned his horse around and ran towards Jiangling City. Since he couldn't go back to the camp, the only way to survive was to go to Jiangling City.

But before Quan Cong could run far, Han soldiers appeared from the direction of Jiangling City and blocked the road. It was Fang Yue and Pan Feng who were attacking from both directions.

"Quan Cong, don't run away!"

At dusk.

Quan Cong couldn't see clearly how many soldiers were around him. The noisy shouting and killing sounds made Quan Cong feel tinnitus, and the dazzling flags also made Quan Cong quickly lose his way.

suddenly.

Quan Cong heard a quick shout of "General, get out of here!" Before he could react, he saw a general attacking him like a bear or tiger, and with just one shot, he knocked the spear out of Quan Cong's hand.

next moment.

Quan Cong felt as if he had lost his balance and was violently pulled off the horse by a big hand. The feeling of suffocation also entered Quan Cong's forehead at this moment.

A thunderous shout rang out in my ears: "Quan Cong has been captured alive by me. Those who surrender can live!"

Quan Cong rolled his eyes, the only question left in his mind was "How could I be captured alive?" He suffocated and passed out.

Looking at the unconscious Quan Cong, Liu Feng's stern face showed a hint of smile.

The ability to capture Quan Cong alive was certainly closely related to Liu Feng's plan, but it was also due to Liu Feng's luck. This made Liu Feng feel a little bit of "God's will protect the Han Dynasty".

The Mandate of Heaven for the Han Dynasty still exists.

Sun Quan, you are in big trouble!

　Liu Feng threw the whole Cong to the readers: Can this thief be exchanged for a monthly ticket?
