The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

? Tan County, the state capital.

Since the soldiers entered Mount Tai, there has been an endless stream of military reports from Mount Tai, Yanzhou, including Jiujiang, Yangzhou and other places.

For several days in a row, Xun Zhen couldn't sleep well, but he was used to the war. Not feeling sleepy.

Holding a new military report from Xun Cheng's Department, he smiled and said to Xi Zhicai, Xun You, etc. present: "Ying Zhongyuan has sent troops to aid Mou County, and he has already fallen into the Yuan's direct plan! The Dao Army Daily said that more than 800 Taishan soldiers arrived outside Mouxian yesterday and joined forces with Yangbi and other battalions. This is Ying Zhongyuan's third increase in troops. There are more than 3,000 Taishan soldiers. It can be expected that the counties in the northwest of Taishan must be empty now."

Although Taishan County is a large county with a large population, it is only one county in the end. According to pre-war information, plus the northern and western borders of Mount Tai, the soldiers of the counties and counties who resisted the invasion of Lu State and Qingzhou Yellow Turbans were only seven soldiers. Eight thousand people. After the war, Ying Shao recruited troops twice, and a total of more than 4,000 troops were obtained. That is to say, the available troops in Taishan County were more than 12,000. Xun Cheng and Zang Ba's troops and horses had already wiped out thousands of enemies one after another, and there were more than 2,000 guards in Mouxian City. With the addition of more than 3,000 reinforcements, it could indeed be calculated clearly and simply that the northwest of Taishan County. Among the seven counties, there must be very few guards at this time.

Xun You also made the same judgment as Xun Zhen from another aspect. He said: "Ying Zhongyuan has only sent more than 800 troops to Mu County this time, but it is still less than 1,000. It can be seen that he does not have many troops to send."

He paused and suggested to Xun Zhen, "Although Liu, Chen, and Jiang's camps temporarily blocked Liu Gongshan and Bao Yuncheng's reinforcements, they were fighting in a 'guest land' after all. Most of the guards in the counties in the northwest of Mount Tai were transferred to outside Mou, and You thought that Duke Ming could order the two generals Xun and Zang to find an opportunity to defeat the enemy, follow Ba Mou County, and then enter the northwest of Mount Tai."

Xun Zhen asked Xi Zhicai: "Zhi Cai, what do you think?"

Xi Zhicai agreed with Xun You and said, "What Gongda said is exactly what he said."

"Okay, then I will order Zhongren and Xuan Gao to break the enemy's territory!"

Xun Zhen immediately handwritten an order and ordered someone to send it to Xun Cheng and Zang Ba quickly. As soon as the order was sent away, a shogunate official came from outside with a military newspaper. Xun Zhen took it and looked at it and saw that it was sent from Rencheng in Yanzhou. He removed the seal and read it carefully. After reading it, he laughed and said to Xi Zhicai and Xun You: "Gongdacai talked about Yanzhou, Xuande Good news will be delivered!"

Xi Zhicai and Xun You asked for details.

Xun Zhen motioned to the servants to report Liu Bei's army to Xi Zhicai and Xun You, and let them see for themselves.

Xun You asked Xi Zhicai to watch first, and after Xizhi finished it, he watched, and after seeing it, he raised his head, and Xi Zhicai looked at each other. From this look, the two knew each other. What they thought was what they were curious about, and they all laughed.

Xun Zhen asked, "Why are you two laughing?"

Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "The one I and Gongda laughed at was that General Liu was able to use deceit."

Xun You smiled and said, "General Liu is known for his kindness and kindness. Now, seeing the good news, I don't realize that he will also be surprisingly cunning."

But it is: After Liu Bei sent troops to Rencheng County, he first joined forces with Chen Bao, and soon after, half a month ago, that is, before and after Xun Cheng and Zang Ba joined forces outside Mu County, he saw that the situation in Taishan County was in jeopardy. , Liu Dai finally decided to send troops to rescue Mount Tai. In order to prevent him from advancing, Xun Zhen passed an order to Liu Bei and ordered him to lead his headquarters north to Fanxian to set up a camp.

Fanxian belongs to Rencheng State and is adjacent to Dongping State to the north. Once Liu Bei's troops and horses were stationed here, the three battalions of Chen Bao, Liu Bei, and Jiang Hu became a front line. Their line of defense is blocking between Taishan County and the hinterland of Yanzhou. It is the only place for Liu Dai and Bao Xin to help Mount Tai. If they are not defeated, Liu and Bao's troops will not be able to reach Mount Tai,—— Unless you go to the north of Jibei, there are tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans in Jibei. This road is obviously difficult and almost impossible.

Therefore, Bao Xin personally led the troops to attack Jianghu Camp in Dongping, while Liu Dai's reinforcements attacked Liu Bei and Chen Baoying in Rencheng.

Four days ago, Xun Zhen received a military report from Jiang Hu, but Jiang Hu was defeated by Bao Xin.

In Dongping country, Jiang Hu received the help of Li Zan, the prime minister of Dongping, and joined forces with the county soldiers of Dongping country. There were more than 4,000 people, while Bao Xin brought only more than 2,000 parts to help Mount Tai. Jiang Hu's temperament Brave, self-confident that there are many troops, and intending to completely wipe out Bao's troops, he sent troops to cut off the retreat of Bao Xin's troops. After Bao Xin found out, he said to the troupe: "The narrow-eyed always has a reputation, and now our army's retreat is cut off by it. If we don't fight to the death, then our generation will die! I heard it: the brave who meet on the narrow road wins!" Qu Lili, Yu Jin and others charged into the battle, and Jiang Hu had a large number of troops, but he could not smoothly command the Dongping country's county soldiers, and in the end, he suffered a small defeat, but Bao Xin was not able to break his battalion.

Perhaps inspired by Bao Xin's victory~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Liu Dai's reinforcements launched a fierce attack on Liu Bei in Fan County and Chen Bao in Rencheng County. The chief general of Yanzhou, who attacked Liu Bei's camp, also divided his troops to rob Liu Bei's grain route, and stole a batch of grain and fodder sent from Hexiang to Liu Bei. The military officials in Liu Bei's department were a little panicked by this, but Liu Bei was calm and composed. Probably after discussions with Chang Shi Yin Chun, Du Wei Zhuo Ying, Sima Shiren, and Zhu Shi Zhan Qian, they decided to take advantage of the opportunity and use a trick. Zhicai and Xun You said "deceitful" and "weird".

On the night before yesterday, Liu Bei pretended to be out of food and set fire to the camp, pretending to retreat to Rencheng County. After the Yanzhou general who attacked his battalion found out, he fell for him, and immediately led his troops to pursue and entered the ambush circle set up by Liu Bei in advance, and was defeated by Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei's victory, he returned to Fan County without chasing and wiping out the defeated enemy soldiers, and still built a camp to stand firm.

The military report that Xun Zhen received just now from Liu Bei was about how he defeated the enemy soldiers and remained in Fan.

After listening to Xi Zhicai and Xun You's words, Xun Zhen couldn't help laughing, and said, "Xuande is old in the army, and counting, he has been fighting for ten years since the first year of Zhongping. How strange is it!"

Xun Zhen didn't know it, and neither did Liu Bei. The reason why the master general of Yanzhou was fooled was actually because he was confused by Liu Bei's previous reputation. It was Liu Bei's plan, but the commander did not take it seriously, and retorted: "It is strange that the wise general will not be able to come out. Although Liu Xuande is loved by Zhendong, he has never heard of his cleverness, and now he burns the camp at night to kill him. Escape is also enough to show the truth of the meaning of elimination, and it must not be calculated." Therefore, Zhongfu was defeated in the battle.

Xun Zhen pondered for a while, and said to Xi Zhicai, Xun You, etc., "Do you think what Xuande said at the end of the military report is feasible or not?"
