The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Long Fei finally moved, the army left the city from Xiangyang, and continued to move southward.Walking carefully along the way, Qiu did not commit any crimes, until he came to the front of Changban slope.Long Fei suddenly remembered the incident in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" where Zhao Zilong entered and exited seven times in Changbanpo, and turned his head to look at Zhao Yun beside him.Zhao Yun didn't know what Long Fei meant, so he chuckled: "Brother, what are you looking at me for?"

Long Fei smiled and said: "Zhao Zilong is full of courage, he is indeed a good general!" In a word, Zhao Yun didn't understand what he said.Long Fei didn't explain, and ordered the army to set up camp on the spot.

"Report...!" The scout rushed into the camp and knelt down in front of Tai Shici: "General, Long Fei is camping at Changbanpo. There are three seats in total, divided into left, middle and right. The defense is tight, and his subordinates cannot approach."

"Explore again!" After dismissing the scouts, Tai Shici bowed his head in thought.It's just past noon now, if Long Fei wanted to attack Maicheng and Dangyang, he should attack immediately, but he didn't move forward, which is really puzzling.Tai Shici didn't understand after thinking for a long time, so he immediately wrote to Zhuge Liang who was staying in Nanjun.For three days in a row, Long Fei didn't move at all in Changbanpo, Tai Shici even suspected that there was something wrong.I kept writing letters asking Zhuge Liang what to do next.

Zhuge Liang sat in the hall, closed his eyes and meditated.Constantly guessing all kinds of possibilities in my heart.After thinking for a whole night, he came to a conclusion that Long Fei was testing himself, and if he couldn't bear it, withdrawing troops from the two places fell into Long Fei's trick.So he strictly ordered Tai Shici to continue to hide, and never let Long Fei find out.

After living in Changbanpo for three days, even Dian Wei couldn't bear it any longer. He saw that everyone was not pleasing to the eye: "I'm going to Nanjun soon, how can I stay here? Liu Bei's little soldiers and horses can still block it." We don't know what the boss thinks."

Xu Chu looked at him: "You don't need to know what the lord thinks, you just need to do what the lord says."

Long Fei just walked in.Dian Wei hurriedly put on a different face, and ran up to Long Fei: "Boss, when are we going to call? You've been living here for three days, and you don't know where to go, what are you doing here?"

Long Fei laughed and said: "Living here is also a kind of battle. If you don't want to live here, you can go back to Wancheng. I have no objection!"

Dian Wei chuckled: "Forget it then."

Li Ru and Xu Shu begged to see him, but Long Fei left in a hurry, leaving Dian Wei still muttering to Xu Chu.After returning to his tent in the Chinese army, Li Ru and Xu Shu rushed to meet him, and Long Fei helped him up: "Say, how is it?"

Xu Shu smiled slightly: "Feng Xiao really hit the mark. There are indeed ambushes near Dangyang. The number of people is not too many, and the terrain is very well grasped. If we don't investigate, we will definitely suffer huge losses!"

"In the direction of Dangyang?" Long Fei asked: "So, there is no one in the direction of Maicheng?"

Xu Shu nodded: "I haven't found it yet, but the sent people came back and said that the whole Maicheng is empty, there are neither soldiers nor people, just like a dead city."

"Oh? So it seems that the people are still afraid of fighting!" Long Fei shook his head.He turned his face and asked Li Ru: "Is our progress going smoothly?"

Li Ru nodded: "Everything is going well, and it will be effective tomorrow."

According to Zhuge Liang's instructions, Tai Shici reported the situation to Zhuge Liang every day.For five days, Long Fei lived in Changbanpo for five days. During these five days, he did not mobilize a single soldier, except for the scouts sent out every day, he sent generals to escort food and grass.Tai Shici paid special attention and carefully discovered that all the generals who followed Long Fei to the south remained in the camp.

After reading Tai Shici's memorial, Zhuge Liang felt puzzled for the first time, what is Long Fei going to do?I have never been so confused before leaving the mountain. No matter what the problem is, I can see through the key at a glance, but at this time I am confused.Zhuge Liang paced back and forth in the room, thinking carefully about each of Tai Shici's memorials.There are no flaws, but this is too ordinary, and it is hard to believe that it is ordinary.

"Military division! Military division!" Liu Bei shouted loudly outside the door, and as soon as Zhuge Liang agreed, he rushed in, followed by Liu Qi.Liu Qi's eyes were full of tears, and he didn't know what to say.Liu Bei took Liu Qi by one hand and said to Zhuge Liang: "Master, something is wrong! Something is wrong!"

"What's the matter?" Zhuge Liang didn't like others to be unruly. Even if Liu Bei broke into his bedroom in the middle of the night, it was unforgivable.But Liu Bei was his master, and Liu Qi was the shepherd of Jingzhou, so he didn't get angry.

"Jiang Xia! Jiang Xia has fallen!"

"What?" Zhuge Liang was also shocked: "Jiang Xia fell? Sun Quan didn't join us, but came to divide Jingzhou with Long Fei? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"It's not Sun Quan, it's Long Fei!" Liu Bei was out of breath, and Liu Qi on the side had already cried aloud. He had been the prefect in Jiangxia for several years, and the whole family was in Jiangxia. He came in a hurry this time, thinking about Long Fei. Fei hadn't hit Jiangxia yet, and Nanjun was blocking him. Even if he escaped, he still had a chance to clean up. Why not Nanjun but Jiangxia.

Liu Bei pulled Liu Qi up and threw him on the seat next to him. Then he said to Zhuge Liang: "Long Fei sent his navy down the Xiangshui River, bypassing Nanjun, and went straight to Jiangxia. Jiangxia's defenders were completely unable to resist. After being breached by Gan Ning and others, several escaped soldiers reported that after Gan Ning defeated Jiangxia, he left some of the navy, and the rest turned the navy into infantry, and they have already arrived in Beggar Yang! They will come to Nanjun soon!"

"Water army! Yes!" Zhuge Liang said to himself: "I feel that something is wrong, so I ignored the water army, hey! If you accidentally move, you will lose everything!"

"What should we do now?" Seeing that Zhuge Liang ignored him, Liu Bei grabbed Zhuge Liang and said, "Master, what should we do? Are we still fighting?"

Zhuge Liang stared at Liu Bei like lightning, Liu Bei hurriedly let go of his hand.Zhuge Liang shouted towards the door: "Come on! Order Guan, Zhang, Tai Shici, Ma Di and others to leave and retreat, there must be no mistakes!"

"Report...! Hey!" The two messengers bumped into each other at the door.The person who came in was sweating profusely, with several stab wounds on his arms still oozing blood, was hit by someone, and fell on his back.Several soldiers hurriedly helped the man up, and the orderly covered his chest with one hand: "My lord, military advisor, something happened to Changbanpo!"

"Say, talk!" Liu Bei was very anxious, looked around, grabbed a teapot and handed it to the mouth of the messenger.The messenger took a few sips and gasped for breath: "Long Fei suddenly attacked and attacked the place where we were ambush. The brothers suffered heavy losses. General Taishi had no choice but to send me back. Please show me the military advisor."

Zhuge Liang looked up to the sky and sighed: "Long Fei's men are indeed full of talents, and my plan was seen through. I immediately ordered all the people in ambush to withdraw immediately, light the Hulu Valley fire, and prevent Long Fei's army from continuing to go south. Order Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead their troops to Huarong Stop Gan Ning!" After issuing a series of orders, Zhuge Liang turned to Liu Bei and said, "My lord, it seems that we have no choice but to retreat!"

"Heh!" Liu Bei shook his head and smiled wryly: "If I knew it now, I should have left Jingzhou in the first place! It wouldn't cause the entire army to be wiped out!" Said while walking outside the door.

"Kill...!" Dian Wei swung away the iron halberd in his hand, and was the first to rush into the enemy formation.Huang Zhong's bow and arrow battalion aimed at Tai Shici's hiding place, and the arrow rain for a quarter of an hour caused heavy losses to Liu Beijun hiding in the woods.The sudden rain of arrows was completely beyond their expectations. Although there were trees and leaves blocking them, many soldiers were injured and killed.

"Conceal! Scatter!" Tai Shici kept shouting after hiding behind a big tree.Hearing this, Huang Zhong gently pulled out a feathered arrow from his back, bent the bow and placed the arrow, and lightly let go of his right hand, the bow and arrow flew out, shooting off three small trees in a row, and the feathered arrow hit Taishi Cilu impartially over the outside left shoulder. "Uh!" Tai Shici was brought forward by the huge impact and almost fell down.Looking at his shoulder again, a foot-long feather arrow had pierced his shoulder, and blood was continuously flowing out from the wound.

Waiting until no one's voice could be heard in the woods, Huang Zhong waved his hand, and the rain of arrows stopped abruptly.Dian Wei led the infantry and rushed forward immediately.He had just experienced a rain of arrows, and met the vicious Dian Wei again.After chopping two pawns alive in a row, the rest of the pawns were frightened into stupidity.This is not a battle, but a one-sided massacre. One after another, Liu Bei's army was powerless to fight back, and was hacked to death by Long Feijun.The people who heard all kinds of screams in the woods were terrified.

Long Fei looked up at Maicheng.In the 14th year of King Jing of Zhou, Wu defeated Chu, and Wu Zixu built donkey and mill cities on the left and right to attack this city. Therefore, there is a proverb that "the donkey in the east is milled in the west, and the city of wheat will be destroyed by itself".Although this legend may not be true, there are really two cities on the left and right sides of Maicheng, one is round and the other is rectangular.Long Fei chuckled: "Look, does this look like a stone pestle for grinding flour? Maicheng is in the middle, and the two cities on the left and right are stone pestles. Maicheng can be broken!"

Everyone laughed.Li Ru smiled and said, "My lord has also learned from Wu Zixu. Although these are just two cities built by the villagers to prevent bandits, the implication is good."

Maicheng is close to Xiangshui. According to Zhuge Liang's calculation, Longfei's army will inevitably divide into two groups when they reach Changbanpo. They must first capture Maicheng and control Xiangshui, so that Longfei can drive straight in.But Dangyang was just a bait, so Tai Shici was only sent to ambush the enemies of Dangyang.Originally, Long Fei also planned this way, but Guo Jia came up with an idea to catch him by surprise, let Gan Ning lead the water army to sneak down, and went straight to Jiangxia, which disrupted Zhuge Liang's entire plan.

Taking Maicheng with ease, looking at the boats that had already been prepared on the shore of the Xiangshui River, he said to Guo Jia: "People in the world call Fengxiao a ghost. I don't think it's right. A ghost is a bit insulting to Fengxiao. It should be called a god. Zhuge Liang is called Crouching Dragon. Crouching dragon and phoenix chicks can secure the world, Zhuge Liang's ingenious plan vanishes in an instant in the eyes of Feng Xiao, and it is right to say that the world can only be peacefully controlled by the filial piety."
