Chapter 926
Liu Bei took the bamboo slips from Pang Tong's hand and read them. When he saw the newspaper, Cao Pi personally led an army of 300,000 to the bank of the Yellow River and confronted the 100,000 Qin troops led by Zhao Yun and Chen Gong. He couldn't help but look happy and shouted: "Great! Cao Pi is indeed a tiger father without a dog son! I was worried that Cao Pi would not dare to take the initiative to attack Lu Bu because of his previous failure, but he didn't expect that he was not afraid at all! OK! Great! In this way, it might be possible to create a rare opportunity for us to attack!"
Pang Tong said: "Lu Bu should have expected this situation. With Lu Bu's bravery, unless Cao Pi can win one or two big wins, Lu Bu will never change his established plan, nor will he transfer the troops transferred to Guanzhong back to Luoyang.
However, what is beneficial to us is that now that Cao Pi is threatening Luoyang, it is unlikely that Lu Bu will draw troops to support the battlefield here.
The overall situation is still relatively good for us.”
Liu Bei nodded, remembered something, and asked, "Where has Lu Bu's reinforcements reached?"
Pang Tong said: "Based on time, the enemy's reinforcements should be about to arrive in Chang'an, and the troops originally stationed in Guanzhong should have gathered and marched here.
However, the roads are inconvenient, even the army in Guanzhong will take at least three days to reach Chencang.
There will be no problem with our army capturing Chen Cang in three days."
Liu Bei nodded, then frowned and said, "Have the military advisor considered the enemy's cavalry?
Lu Bu's cavalry is the best in the world, as fast as the wind and as fast as fire. If Lu Bu leads the cavalry to go first,..." Pang Tong smiled slightly, looked confident and said, "What the lord said is very true.
And with Lu Bu's personality, he would definitely lead his stern cavalry to Chen Cang first."
Seeing Pang Tong talking like this, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel heart-warming, and asked with a smile: "The military advisor must have had a clever plan?"
Pang Tong clasped his fists and said, "I was about to ask for instructions from the lord."
Then he walked to the map, pointed to Qingliupu on the east side of Chencang, and said, "This place is also north of the Wei River, only twenty miles away from Chencang. It can be said that it is the only way to come to Chencang from the east bank of the Wei River.
If Lu Bu doesn't come, it's already there. If the cavalry commanded him to come, he would definitely come here for a short rest, but he would advance at full speed.
Our army set up an ambush here. Although it may not be able to completely wipe out the enemy and capture Lu Bu alive, it can at least severely damage the enemy. After the enemy in the city heard the news, morale will inevitably be greatly reduced, and it will be much easier to attack the city!"
Liu Bei looked at the Qingliupu that Pang Tong pointed to, nodded happily, and said, "Shi Yuanshen is a clever idea, it turns out that the enemy's actions are all clear!"
Pang Tong smiled and clasped his fists and said, "The lord is over-reputable!"
He immediately said, "Lord, it's not time to go. If you want to ambush Lu Bu, you should send troops to take action at this moment.
My subordinates thought that when fighting against Lu Bu, Yide must take action. It would be better to ask General Yide to lead 30,000 elite troops to set up an ambush to Qingliu. He would definitely win a great victory, and he might even be able to capture Lu Bu alive!"
Liu Bei frowned slightly and paced back and forth without saying a word.
Pang Tong understood what Liu Bei was thinking, smiled and clasped his fists and said, "The lord should know Yide's character better than his subordinates. He would never be able to depose his public for personal gain!"
Liu Bei nodded and smiled, "Of course I believe in my third brother.
I was just a little worried that he would not be able to deal with Lu Bu?
But after Shi Yuan said that, I feel relieved!"
Then he shouted, "Come!"
A personal soldier guarding the door immediately came in, clasped his fists and said, "What are the instructions for the lord?"
Liu Bei said: "Call Yide to me immediately!"
The personal soldiers responded and walked quickly, and soon led Zhang Fei into the tent.
When Zhang Fei saw Liu Bei, he immediately folded his fists and said, "Brother, you finally remembered me!"
There was a bit of resentment between his words and expressions.
Liu Bei walked up, patted Zhang Fei's arm with a smile, and said, "Yide, don't think too much! The reason why I asked you to come here now is just because there is a task worthy of Yide's attack to Yide!"
When Zhang Fei heard this, his eyes lit up and he clasped his fists and said loudly: "What do you want me to do, just give me instructions! I won't blink even if I break my eyebrows!"
Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei and said, "I want to leave to deal with Lu Bu.
…” Zhang Fei was stunned and asked in confusion: “Is Lu Bu here?”
Liu Bei glanced at Pang Tong.
Pang Tong understood and said to Zhang Fei: "Lu Bu hasn't come yet, but it's too soon.
With Lu Bu's personality, he would definitely lead his subordinates to leave the brigade and come to Chen Cang first.
I guess he may arrive at Qingliupu east of Chencang as soon as tomorrow.
The lord's meaning was to ask General Yide to lead 30,000 elite troops to set out to ambush at Qingliupu. When Lu Bu arrived, he immediately rushed out from all directions to kill all the enemy and captured Lu Bu alive.
Just now, the lord was a little worried that Yide would not have the confidence to complete this most difficult and important task."
Zhang Fei immediately clasped his fists at Liu Bei and said, "Why do you think of me? If the ambush of the army still cannot destroy Lu Bu, who am I still ambushed?
Brother, don’t worry, I will catch that boy Lu Bu in front of my lord! Humph, this boy lied to my Xingcai, I want that boy to look good!"
Then he bowed to Liu Bei and turned around without waiting for Liu Bei to speak.
Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei's leaving figure, couldn't help but look worried, and turned his head to look at Pang Tong.
Pang Tong smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Lord, don't worry, this battle will definitely be foolproof!"
Liu Bei nodded and said with hope: "If the third brother can look at Lu Bu, it will be no problem to capture the entire Guanzhong!" Pang Tong smiled slightly, as if everything was in control.
Not long after, Zhang Fei had already ordered 30,000 elite troops under his command, and quietly left the camp from behind the Dazhai, and rushed to the Qingliupu east of Chencang under the cover of night.
At the same time, more than 10,000 war cavalry led by Ailang were rushing on the way, and the iron hooves roared in the dark night, alarming all the birds and beasts resting in the mountains and forests.
At this time, the moon was in the sky, and the jade belt in the north was winding and sparkling. The army led by Ailang was not far from the green willow shop mentioned by Liu Bei and the others.
The night passed without realizing it, and the earth gradually became brighter.
At this time, a small village was no longer in front of Ailang's eyes.
Ailanle stayed in the Red Rabbit Horse, raised the Fang Tian Painted Ridge, and the more than ten thousand war cavalry following him stopped immediately.
Ailang pointed to the village not far ahead and asked an officer beside him, "Where is that place?"
The officer looked at him, clasped his fists at Ailang and said, "Report to the lord, that's Qingxi Village."
Ailang's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Okay, it's finally here."
Then he waved Fang Tian’s painting halberd and shouted: “Continue to move forward!”
Then more than 10,000 war cavalry ran again and ran straight towards the villages not far ahead.
Not long after, more than 10,000 war cavalry rushed outside the village.
At this time, these cavalrymen came after a long journey and were exhausted.
The soldiers quickly passed through the middle of the village. The old people who stayed in the village and did not go to the mountain to avoid disasters heard the huge movement outside. They all walked to the window and looked around. They suddenly saw that it was Qin cavalry passing through the village. They felt incredible because their village had been occupied by Liu Bei's army not long ago?
Ailang led the cavalry through the village and town without stopping at all. After a while, the soldiers crossed a low hill, and the village and town disappeared behind him, while a large camp of large size appeared on the river not far ahead.
Ailang waved Fang Tian's painting halberd, and more than 10,000 cavalrymen ran down the hills and marched straight towards the camp in front.
After Liu Bei's army crossed the Wei River, the camp left on the south bank was not revoked. Mi Fang led 6,000 troops to garrison, responsible for transporting logistics supplies and sending casualties in front of him.
That morning, Mi Fang sat in the original seat where Liu Bei sat and listened to his subordinates' report: "General, I just received the news from Chengdu that 500,000 harbors of grain and grass have been shipped, and it is expected to be shipped here in half a month."
Mi Fang said: "It's still early, so don't worry, just send someone to report the news to your lord."
The general held his fists and agreed.
At this time, another general reported to Mi Fang: "You reported to the general that the lord had an order to transport the wounded soldiers back to Chengdu. Will it be transported now?"
Mi Fang said angrily: "Where do I have extra staff to transport the wounded soldiers now?
It would have no effect on them temporarily placed in the camp."
"yes."
An officer walked in quickly and clasped his fists and said, "Report to General Qi, a cavalry came to the south, attacking General Guan's banner, and he was about to arrive in front of the camp."
Mi Fang was surprised and muttered: "General Guan's cavalry?
Why haven't you received the message before?"
Then he stood up and led the generals out of the tent.
Looking south, I saw a cavalry team of more than 10,000 people running towards this side, with a very majestic momentum.
A general couldn't help but exclaim, "What a mighty cavalry! Are there such a mighty cavalry in our army?"
Another general clasped his fists to Mi Fang and said, "General, you have not received any news in advance. It is better to put the troops in the camp on guard!"
Mi Fang pointed to the cavalry and said angrily: "Will there still be any problems with the cavalry coming from the south?"
Don’t worry about being too worried about yourself! Although the Qin army is powerful, it is not a god! It’s normal that it has not received any news, and it has happened before!"
When the general saw Mi Fang say this, he was timid and dared not talk about it any more.
After a while, the Qin army rushed to the camp.
Only then did Mi Fang see clearly the appearance of the leading general. He actually wore a golden crown on his head, rode a fiery red rabbit dragon horse, and carried a Fang Tian painting halberd. He was majestic and murderous. Who else would it be if it were Lu Bu?
Mi Fang was shocked and shouted: "No! Yes, it's Lu Bu!"
Before he finished speaking, the Qin army cavalry had already shot out a dense rain of arrows, and the Liu Bei army officers and soldiers at the camp gate were caught off guard and were shot down.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of cavalrymen rushed up to the front of the camp gate with a log, and then shouted loudly and threw the log out of their hands! The log flew out of the sky, hitting the gate heavily, and making a loud bang to open the gate! Before the Liu Bei army officers and soldiers in the camp could react, Ailang had already led the cavalry to rush in! Mi Fang came to his senses and shouted anxiously: "Hurry! Fight!" Liu Bei army officers and soldiers were hasty and didn't understand what was going on, and there was chaos.
The Qin army rushed and rushed, and the camp was filled with blood and blood!
Chapter completed!
