The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 251 Qichun Attack
"Okay, just do what Zirou said," Liu Biao ordered, "Where are Zhongye, Wang Wei, and Zhang Yun?"

"The last general is here!" General Wenpin, Wang Wei and Zhang Yun came out and said.

"I order you to take five thousand soldiers and horses to Xinye to garrison and prevent Li Yuan's army from invading."

"Decree!" Wenpin and others took the order and left.

Seeing this, Cai Hao took the initiative to stand up and said: "My lord, I am willing to lead 5000 people to Jiangxia to garrison and share my worries."

"Very good. I will order you to lead the troops to Jiangxia and guard it with Huang Zu." Liu Biao was very happy to see Cai Mao taking the initiative.

Liu Bei took the opportunity to say: "Liu Jingzhou, I have a deep hatred with Li Yuan, and I would like to lead my troops to Xinye to stop Li Yuan."

Liu Bei wanted to seize a part of the military power. Kuai Liang immediately understood Liu Bei's intentions and agreed, "My lord, brother Xuande and his two righteous brothers have undue courage, so we should let them go together."

"Okay then, but it is enough to have Wenpin in Xinye. The main force of Li Yuan's army is in Lujiang, so Xuande, you can go to Jiangxia with Degui." Liu Biao seemed to have seen Liu Bei's intentions, and was worried that Wenpin would not be able to restrain Liu Bei. , so let Liu Bei and Cai Mao go to Jiangxia together. Cai Mao and Huang Zu are quite prestigious in the army. With them, there is no need to worry that Liu Bei will take the opportunity to seize military power.

"Thank you Liu Jingzhou." Liu Bei said gratefully, but he was somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Biao's decision.

A month later, Li Yuan's army had arrived in Runan and Jiangxia, and began to march towards their respective goals.

Li Yuan led an army of [-] to go straight to Jiangxia. Before departure, Xu Shu suddenly made a suggestion to let the Ganning water army go down the river to raid Wulin and attack Jiangling. Jiangling City is behind Xiangyang. Liu Biao must not have imagined that when they attacked Xinye and Jiangxia You can also use the waterway to raid Jiangling. If Jiangling is successfully captured, you can attack Xiangyang from the back, so you don't have to take the effort to break through Xinye and Jiangxia.

After Xi Zhicai and Chen Gong heard this suggestion, their eyes lit up, they thought this strategy was feasible, and at the same time, they looked at Xu Shu, a new counselor, with admiration.

When Xu Shu first arrived, he offered Li Yuan a good plan. Li Yuan was very happy and thought that bringing Xu Shu with him was indeed the right choice, so Li Yuan ordered Gan Ning to lead the navy to raid Wulin by water, although there may be Jingzhou on the water. The navy patrols and guards, as long as they intensify their efforts to attack the Jiangxia Jingzhou navy, they may be called back.

Li Yuan and Gan Ning split up. Gan Ning led an army of [-] to attack Wulin, and Li Yuan led an army of [-] to Jiangxia. Act again.

Jiangxia is not far from Lujiang River, and it only takes [-] or [-] days for the army to arrive.

On the seventh day, Li Yuan led the army to Qichun. It was getting late and it was very dangerous to march at night, so Li Yuan decided to let the army rest in Qichun County for a night, and set off tomorrow.

Qichun is located in the east of Jiangxia. It is a small county. When Li Yuan came to Qichun, he found that there were no Liu Biao army guards inside. Although he felt a little surprised, it was reasonable. After all, Qichun was just a small county. For Liu Biao It's not necessary, now Liu Biao should recall all the nearby troops to Jiangxia, and other counties have given up defense.

At night, the night wind was bleak and slightly cold. Most of the soldiers in the camp were sleeping. They were very tired from traveling during the day, so they would hurry up to rest at night, but Li Yuan was always cautious in his work, and at night he would arrange soldiers to take turns to patrol. To avoid being attacked by the enemy at night.

Tonight, the moon is dark and the wind is high, there is no light, except for some torches to illuminate the surroundings, the surroundings are pitch black, and the eyes cannot see things five meters away.

Li Yuan hadn't slept yet. He walked to the door of the tent and looked at groups of soldiers on patrol. For some reason, he felt a little uneasy.

"My lord, why don't you rest at this late hour?" Xu Shu didn't sleep either, and walked to Li Yuan's side.

"Yuan Zhi, when you were in Lumen Academy, I asked you and Shi Yuan to monitor Ma Xian, did you find anything?" Li Yuan suddenly remembered this when he saw Xu Shu.

"My lord, I have been monitoring Ma Xian with Shi Yuan and Kong Ming for the past three years, and I have not found anything wrong. His behavior is very normal. Although he is quite talented, he is not very outstanding. It seems that he is just a relatively outstanding student. .” Xu Shu didn’t find anything wrong with Ma Xian.

"So that's the case, maybe I was worrying too much."

"That's not necessarily the case. Kong Ming and Shi Yuan once said that the more normal Ma Xian behaves, the more likely he is the Sima Yi the lord said." Xu Shu recalled Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong's conclusion.

"Even you guys can't see his true identity and intentions. It seems that this Ma Xian is really not simple, but now we can only ignore him for the time being. The most important thing is to capture Jingzhou." Seeing that it was midnight, Li Yuan Ye was about to enter the tent to rest and sleep, "Yuan Zhi, I'm going to rest, you should go to rest earlier."

"Yes, my lord." Xu Shu said goodbye and left, returning to his camp.

When Li Yuan entered the camp, just as he was about to lie down, there was a sudden sound of gongs outside. He jumped up and ran out to check. Wearing black clothes, everyone holds a sword, with a fierce look on their faces, and they can tell they have bad intentions at a glance. Fortunately, their soldiers and horses have the habit of patrolling, otherwise they will definitely be successfully attacked by the enemy.

"Enemy attack at night!" I don't know who yelled out. The ear-piercing yell seemed to tear the night sky. The sleeping soldiers got up one after another and prepared to fight. Although the soldiers were sleeping, they did not take off their armor and their weapons were pressed. Under the body, so that you can enter the combat state at any time.

"There is an enemy attack, there is an enemy attack!" The shouts echoed one after another, resounding through the camp. In less than a cup of tea, thousands of soldiers and horses had broken into the camp, and the patrolling soldiers were all wiped out by the enemy. Their sacrifices gave Li Yuanjun a chance to fight back.

"Damn it, I didn't expect Li Yuanjun to have so many patrolling soldiers. It seems that this night attack was very successful." A rough voice sounded from the darkness. He looked like a tiger with a swallow jaw and a tiger beard, a leopard head with ring eyes, a majestic figure, and a black black horse riding under his crotch. Li Yuan recognized who this person was at a glance, it was Zhang Fei Zhang Yide!

The night attack on Li Yuan's camp was Li Shan's plan. He expected that Li Yuan's army would rest in Qichun, so he arranged for [-] soldiers to pretend to be ordinary people to live in Qichun early in the morning, so they were able to enter Qichun so easily. Li Yuan's camp, but the only thing he didn't expect was that Li Yuan's army would arrange so many soldiers to patrol at night, and they were discovered by the patrol soldiers before they all entered the camp.
