Chapter 838

Liu Bian felt that if the soldiers and horses sent by Liu Bei must be hiding their identities, they would not dare to send generals known to the Han army.Therefore, this general has no reputation and is a small character, so Liu Bian didn't choose a general, but asked all the generals to see who would like to go to the army.

Except for Xue Rengui and Di Qing, the chief and deputy governors, all the generals are eager to try. Anyway, Liu Bian will not be able to break out of war here for a while, so it is better to go to the north to have fun and exercise.

Seeing all the generals calling for battle, Liu Bian looked at the guard and asked, "How many soldiers and horses do you still have in Baitanguan City?"

"Your Majesty Qiqi, there are more than [-] people!" The guard replied.

"Well, since Liu Bei is plotting and plotting to attack Yuyang from Yanshan, and wants to attract real attention, then there must be a lot of soldiers!"

Liu Bian looked at Zhang Shigui for a while and ordered: "Shigui, I will send you five thousand troops to station at Baitan Pass. You must protect the north."

Seeing Liu Bian pointing at his head, Zhang Shigui was overjoyed. He folded his hands and promised, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will definitely not let Liu Bei's scheme succeed. With five thousand elites, the general will ensure that the north is safe."

In Liu Bian's opinion, Zhang Shigui is the best candidate to guard the north. Not only is he brave, but he also possesses a strategy of annexation. Five thousand elites are guarding dangerous places.

And other generals such as Wu Yunzhao, Pan Feng, Gao Lan, etc., are mostly more than brave, but not resourceful enough to take on great responsibilities.

Seeing that Liu Bian chose Zhang Shigui, all the generals were a little disappointed, but they all retreated, but Cheng Yaojin still stood where he was, cupped his hands towards Liu Bian and said, "Your Majesty, General Zhang must be going alone, he must be short of a lieutenant general, how about I will serve as his lieutenant general, so I can take care of him."

Liu Bian couldn't help but smile, Cheng Yaojin must have heard that he planned to fight a protracted war with an aggressive strategy, so he couldn't bear the loneliness and wanted to go out to have fun.

Other generals such as Wu Yunzhao, Pan Feng, Gao Lan, etc. are all arrogant, and their martial arts are not inferior to Zhang Shigui.Although they also wanted to go out, they couldn't spare the shame of being Zhang Shigui's lieutenants.Only Cheng Yaojin is not as capable as Zhang Shigui, and he is not afraid of losing face. In order to be able to go to war, he naturally doesn't care about being Zhang Shigui's lieutenant general.

But Liu Bian did not refuse. Although Cheng Yaojin usually does things without rules, in fact, there are subtleties in the rough, and it is not so easy to deal with.Liu Bian then nodded and agreed: "Since you made the request, I will not refuse you. I will let you serve as the deputy general of General Zhang Shigui. Let's go out together."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cheng Yaojin was immediately cheerful, and after thanking Liu Bian, he greeted his new boss, Zhang Shigui.

"The white sandalwood crisis, you all set off quickly!" Liu Bian waved his hands and ordered.

"The last general will retire!" Zhang Shigui and Cheng Yaojin bowed their hands and retreated.

The soldiers and horses in the barracks were always ready for battle, and there were plenty of food, equipment and other supplies. Within an hour, Zhang Shigui selected [-] elite soldiers and let the infantry walk slowly behind, while he and Cheng Yaojin led [-] soldiers. The cavalry rushed to Baitan Pass first.

The cavalry went first, Zhang Shigui and Cheng Yaojin arrived at Baitan Pass the next day.At this time, Yuchi Gong's garrison was shut down, and the cavalry in the rear had just arrived and were not ready to attack.

Yuchi Gong was about to raise his troops to attack, and the soldiers and horses formed a formation under the pass.

On the other side, Zhang Shigui and Cheng Yaojin happened to lead the cavalry into the pass, and a guard came to greet him happily: "The two generals are here, and the soldiers and horses over there are preparing to attack the stronghold!"

"Oh? Take us to have a look! Is there enough equipment in the pass? If not, let the soldiers and horses move it up now." Zhang Shigui walked towards the front of the pass while talking.

"All the equipment has been moved to Guancheng, but I can hold on for a few days!"

"En!" Zhang Shigui felt relieved, and hurried to the city gate with all the generals.

Below, Yu Chigong had already lined up the soldiers and horses. The soldiers held ladders and shields in front. Due to the narrow terrain, the cavalry horses were placed behind and clearly visible.

"Hey, such an elite soldier and horse, and there are war horses behind it? Is this an elite cavalry? Liu Bei has such an elite cavalry to attack the camp and fight in the mountains. Doesn't he feel bad?" Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but click tut when he saw this situation. Amazing.

Seeing the elite Xuanjia, Zhang Shigui couldn't help frowning: "This is a bit strange, Liu Bei probably doesn't have such an elite cavalry, maybe these soldiers were not sent by Liu Bei?"

"Hey, wait for me to try him!" Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin strode to the wall, and shouted at the cavalry below: "Hey, where are you soldiers and horses, why are you invading my territory?"

Yuchi Gong was furious when he heard the words, pointed at Cheng Yaojin and scolded Cheng Yaojin in his hand: "You dog thief, have you forgotten me in just a few days?"

"You big black monster, don't you have blurry eyes? How have I ever seen you?" Cheng Yaojin was very puzzled when he heard the words, and also pointed at Yuchi and cursed.

Yu Chigong only thought that Cheng Yaojin had participated in the massacre of his subordinates, and now hearing what Cheng Yaojin said, he thought to himself: "I'm afraid this guy didn't participate, but the Han army is like a flock of birds, so it's not a good thing."

Thinking of this, Yu Chigong scolded: "You cowards, do you dare to do it or not? You slaughtered our warriors wantonly, and went to receive rewards for wine as Mongolian enemies. You think I am afraid that you Han soldiers are too numerous to attack. , but I didn’t expect it, I’ve been so daring and foolish all the way to come here, right?”

Zhang Shigui's face darkened when he heard the words, and he looked at the guards and said, "What he said is true? You slaughtered his subordinates and went to receive the reward as Mongolians? General Di Qing is strict in his army and will never let you do this What the hell, could it be that you guys are doing something wrong?"

Faced with Zhang Shigui's questioning, several guards repeatedly complained: "You are wronged, General. Yanshan has been deserted for more than half a year, yet we kill people indiscriminately to receive rewards? What's more, pretending to be a military leader is a death penalty. We dare not It violated the military regulations!"

"That's right, these cavalry came suddenly, I've never seen them before!!"

"Even if we want to kill them to receive the reward, we still have to beat them. They are so powerful. With our little manpower, how can we kill them?"

Guancheng was only about two zhang away, what was said on the wall was clearly heard from the people below, Zhang Shigui stared at the guards with a pair of tiger eyes, seeing their sincere words and the bitterness of being wronged on their faces, he knew they were not lying.

Then he said to Wei Chigong under the city: "General, I don't know where you are from? You have heard what my subordinates said. They have never slaughtered your subordinates, and they have never seen you before! Could there be something in it? Misunderstand?"
