Zhang Fei withdrew with his soldiers and horses, and in front of Zhuge Liang, he was ashamed to say that he had completed the task of deceit.

came back so soon, Zhuge Liang knew that Zhang Fei couldn't work.

When he learned how Zhang Fei was defeated, Zhuge Liang was very angry, so he didn't come up with a sigh of relief.

Zhang Fei is really a fraud, let alone Zhuge Liang, even Ma Liang thinks that Zhang Fei's defeat is too fake.

"General Zhang, it doesn't seem very good that you are so deceitful." Ma Liangjin said weakly.

Zhang Fei said solemnly: "My deception is like this. I think it's good. Ji Chang, if you don't think it's good, you can go and cheat and take a look. so that I may see how you have been defeated. ”

Well, Zhang Fei is now a hooligan.

Ma Liang realized Zhang Fei's shamelessness for the first time, how could such words be spoken.

In the final analysis, Zhang Fei is still unwilling to cheat. For Zhang Fei, reputation is still very important.

Zhuge Liang shook his head and sighed, he had miscalculated, he didn't realize that the arrogance in Zhang Fei's bones was so strong, and there was no room for relaxation.

"Yide, you're doing a great job!" Zhuge Liangpi said with a smile.

"Thank you, Strategist!" Zhang Fei's skin is also thick enough.

Zhuge Liang endured it and didn't care much about this muddy person.

In fact, Zhuge Liang got a lot of useful information from Zhang Fei's not much successful fraud. Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren were now constantly in turmoil, and at the same time, they were extremely worried that their side would launch a large-scale attack. In this way, Zhuge Liang's plan has been realized. Letting Zhang Fei cheat and defeat is actually Zhuge Liang's means of punishing Zhang Fei. And Zhang Fei is not stupid, but he has seen Zhuge Liang's methods, and Zhuge Liang doesn't want to waste more time here.

Zhuge Liang finally chose to be pressed by the army, and directly used a huge force to crush Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren.

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren didn't dare to slack off, and paid attention to Zhuge Liang's movements wholeheartedly.

While Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren were thinking about what to do, Xiahou Yuan on the other side was stunned by Sima Yi's crazy attack.

Compared with Xiahou Yuan's side, Xiahou Yuan had more troops and a longer line of defense. But the importance of its defensive line is a bit minor to that of Xiahou Yuan.

After all, Xiahoudun had more room to retreat, and he could transfer and confront the enemy more calmly.

Xiahoudun knew that the situation on his side was relatively relaxed, so when communicating with Cao Ren, he asked Cao Ren to pay attention to the defense of Xiahouyuan's side. If Xiahou Yuan's defense line was broken, Liu Jun would drive straight into Shouchun City.

Now Xiahoudun and Sima Yi's Liu Jun troops have launched a fierce battle.

Xiahoudun also arranged a large number of fortifications, and his soldiers were also elite veterans, as well as steep terrain. Relying on these conditions, Xiahoudun felt that he could block Liu Jun's attack. And Liu Jun did not launch an offensive for a long time, and he did not even make a move to confront him. made Xiahoudun have deep in his heart, Liu Jun had other plans and was afraid of casualties and did not dare to attack.

When Sima Yi led the army to face off against Xiahoudun, Xiahoudun knew how wrong he was thinking before.

Liu Jun was not afraid of too many casualties at all and did not attack, but concentrated all his forces to besiege Xiahoudun.

Sima Yi is different from Zhuge Liang, his style is more conservative, but once the detailed arrangement is made, he will do it at all costs. Under the command of Sima Yi, Liu Jun carried out wave after wave of fierce attacks on Xiahoudun's defense line, directly beating Xiahoudun's defense line to a thousand holes.

If it weren't for Xiahoudun's strength, I'm afraid he would have retreated countless kilometers by now.

In addition to using strong attacks, Sima Yi also has many strategies to implement.

Let's say poisoning.

At the cusp of the storm, Sima Yi ordered his troops to ignite a mixture of haystacks, cow and sheep dung, forming thick smoke, and launched a chemical weapons attack on Cao's position. The smoke contained a foul smell that not only prevented the Cao soldiers from breathing normally, but also opened their eyes. The taste is strong and spicy to the eyes.

Sima Yi took advantage of this opportunity very insidiously, ordered the archers to fire a large number of feathered arrows, and carried out a shameless sneak attack on the Cao soldiers.

The soldiers of the Cao army were very sad and were shot and killed.

Cao Jun's side are all elite troops, so after a short period of confusion, quickly find some cloth, soak some liquid to get wet, and wrap the mouth and nose to prevent the smoke from entering the mouth and nose.

As for what kind of liquid. Actually, everyone knows it when you think about it. There is simply not so much water to be found on the battlefield, so you can only figure it out yourself. The troops were full of men, of course, using their own liquids.

It's kind of disgusting, though.

And the cloth was taken from the soldiers.

The soldiers of the Cao army were all missing a piece of cloth on their bodies, and they were in tatters.

Xiahoudun didn't use the cloth soaked in that kind of thing, he used clean water to wet it, and the cloth was all good cloth, worthy of his identity.

"Damn Sima Yi! It's hard to die! Xiahoudun was busy commanding the soldiers to defend, and he could only verbally curse Sima Yi, the head of the Liu army.

Sima Yi also had other means to implement in the Cao army led by Xiahoudun, but no matter how Sima Yi fought and how despicable and shameless he was, Xiahoudun's side just held on.

As a last resort, Xiahoudun will not take a step back. If he retreats, it will affect the overall situation.

But the idea is good, in fact, the next information makes Xiahou tremble.

As mentioned in the scout's report.

Liu Jun's general Wen Ping led the army to attack from Xiahou Dan's flank, and the Cao army on the flank couldn't stop Wen Ping's desperate assault and let Wen Ping break through.

Xiahoudun hurriedly took a look at the map, and suddenly discovered Liu Jun's true intentions. Judging from the breakthrough direction of Wenpin, Liu Jun's purpose is Yangquan City.

Yangquan City is the rear of Xiahoudun, and a lot of materials, grains and grass are stored there, and it is an important core of contact with Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan and Shouchun. Xiahoudun took his eldest son Xiahou Chong as a guard general and led 5,000 soldiers and horses to sit in Yangquan.

Xiahou Chong is the eldest son of Xiahou Tun, except for the difference in force value, he learned most of Xiahou Tun's skills, plus 5,000 soldiers and horses, without any accidents, there is no problem in Yangquan City.

Now the general who killed Liu Jun, Wen Ping, and countless Liu Jun.

Others may not know about Wenpin, but Xiahoudun knows a lot about Wenpin. An unknown military general in Jingzhou was finally able to get Liu Yu's attention and entrust him with the important task of attacking Yangquan City, which shows his strong strength. Xiahoudun had already sorted out all the generals above and below Liu Jun, and had a cognition of the strength of Wenpin, which was an existence that could not be underestimated.

If it is taken by Liu Jun, then Xiahoudun's side will be very dangerous, and he will be defeated by Liu Jun. And Xiahou Yuan's side is also very dangerous.

Xiahoudun can imagine Yangquan City, then Huang Zhong's side will definitely send a large army over, plus Sima Yi's army, as well as Wenpin's army, Xiahoudun will be surrounded by Liu's army.

Thinking of this, Xiahoudun immediately sent the brave general Wu Dun to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to gallop to Yangquan, just in case.

Wu Dun is a trustworthy brave general under Xiahoudun, known for not being afraid of death and calm and calm, Xiahoudun values him very much. Wu Dun didn't say anything, and rushed directly to Yangquan City with five thousand soldiers and horses.

It's a pity that this Wu Dun with 5,000 soldiers and horses met Zhang Xiu who was wandering between Shaobi on the way.

Zhang Xiu saw the soldiers and horses of Cao's army appear, and without saying a word, he rushed over with the cavalry troops. Rao is Wu Dun's bravery, and he can't stop the cavalry troops of the Liu army led by Zhang Xiu.

In terms of cavalry, Liu Jun had the upper hand. And Wu Dun's side was almost all infantry, and Zhang Xiu was a surprise attack, so Cao's army could not resist at all.

Zhang Xiu led the cavalry troops to defeat Cao's army as if they were chopping melons and vegetables. Wu Dun was shot several times in his body, and he fought until the last moment, but he was helplessly under Zhang Xiu's gun.

Zhang Xiu respected Wu Dun's bravery and ordered him to be buried thickly.

Without the main general, Cao Jun ended up very miserable. Zhang Xiu had no intention of accepting surrender at all.

In the end, of the 5,000 soldiers and horses led by Wu Dun, only a few hundred escaped.

And these hundreds of people all returned to Xiahoudun and reported to Xiahoudun that Wu Dun was killed in battle and the location of the cavalry of Liu's army led by Zhang Xiu.

Xiahoudun was very sad about Wu Dun's death, this was a loyal subordinate he had cultivated for several years, and he didn't expect it to be gone.

And Zhang Xiu's cavalry troops made Xiahou frightened.

First, Sima Yi launched a frantic attack on Xiahoudun, then Wen Ping rushed to Yangquan, and then Zhang Xiu's cavalry troops appeared in Shaobei. These situations add up, and Liu Jun is the rhythm of wanting to destroy him.

"Sima Yi is going to swallow me in one bite, what a big appetite! What a big ambition! "Xiahoudun simply hated Sima Yi to the core.

The situation is stronger than people, and Xiahoudun had to report the situation on his side to Shouchun and Cao Cao, and at the same time sent elite henchmen to Xiahouyuan's side to contact.

The purpose of the liaison was not to let Xiahou Yuan send reinforcements, Xiahou Yuan knew that the situation on Xiahou Yuan's side was very serious, but he just hoped that Xiahou Yuan would know the information that the cavalry led by Zhang Xiu was constantly roaming around Shaobi and the whereabouts of the Wenpin army were unknown. Xiahoudun guessed that Wen Ping was likely to kill Xiangyang Spring City, but God knows if he would guess wrong, one day Wen Ping's army did not arrive in Yangquan City, and it would be impossible to conclude one day. Tell Xiahou Yuan so much, Xiahou Yuan wants to make him more careful.

After the arrangement, Xiahoudun responded to Sima Yi's attack wholeheartedly, and now Sima Yi has no intention of stopping the attack.

As for Yangquan City, Xiahoudun thought that no matter how many troops he sent, he might be wiped out by Zhang Xiu, who was wandering around, so it was better not to send it. Moreover, Xiahoudun believed that the strength of his eldest son could definitely defend Yangquan City.

In fact, there is no need for Xiahoudun to send a confidant to inform him, Xiahouyuan also pays attention to the situation on Xiahoudun's side at all times. There was no need to guess, both Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren could predict that Xiahou Yuan would also be attacked by Liu Jun like his own side.

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi led two troops and horses respectively, and now Zhuge Liang is attacking him, so Sima Yi must not be idle, and Xiahoudun is the target of Sima Yi.

However, because Zhang Xiu was wandering around Shaobei, he also severed the connection between Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan. This made Xiahou Yuan unable to know the specific situation on Xiahou Yuan's side.

Such an abnormality made Xiahou Yuan understand that Xiahou Yuan's situation at this time was not good, and it was very likely that he would continue to help.

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren had the intention to assist Xiahou Yuan, but unfortunately they could only ensure that their defense line would not go wrong now. Xiahou Yuan could only choose to believe that Xiahou Yuan would not be defeated by Liu Jun.

At the same time, a piece of news that shocked Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren came over. Zhang Liao led the army to Chengde, intending to capture Chengde.

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren lamented the huge strategy of Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi.

If you don't move, it's enough, and if you move, it's overwhelming.

Zhang Liao had attacked Chengde before, and he was very familiar with Chengde, so he must have estimated that Chengde was more than lucky this time.

Chengde City is an important city and the first line of defense in Huainan. If Zhang Liao plotted against Huainan City, then Cao Cao's family would be a little dangerous. If this small family fell into the hands of Liu Jun, the generals surnamed Cao and Xiahou under Cao Cao were all in turmoil, and they happened to be taken advantage of by Liu Jun.

The Cao family and the Xiahou family were both arranged in Huainan, and at this time, Zhang Liao raided Chengde again, which made Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan's hearts have a lot of waves.

"It turned out that Zhuge Liang was forcing me to retreat, so that I couldn't wait to support Chengde. Chengde, then Huainan will be in danger. What a sinister intention. Xiahou Yuan said resentfully.

"Huainan is dangerous, even if we send reinforcements now, it's too late." Cao Ren agreed with Xiahou Yuan's statement, but they couldn't get out now.

Xiahou Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Chengde is very important. You and I immediately sent someone to issue a military order, so that the defenders west of Feishui rushed to Chengde to support. ”

"There are several small cities in Pucheng, Huanxi, and Tan'e to the west of Feishui, and in addition to the old and weak, they can only transfer more than 2,000 people to Chengde, which can play a very good role. But we have to be fast, otherwise Zhang Liao will take the lead, and we will be passive. Cao Ren thought that Xiahou Yuan's suggestion was good, and it needed to be done as soon as possible.

Xiahou Yuan knew that the military situation was like fire, and he didn't care about reporting to Cao Cao, so in the name of himself and Cao Ren, he issued military orders to several small cities west of Feishui, including Pucheng, Huanxi, and Tan'e.

Aren't the two of them afraid that the empty army west of Feishui will be taken advantage of by Liu Jun?

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren did not have such worries, because the two of them had already sent troops to Pucheng, Huanxi, and Tan'e to garrison several small cities, so as not to be taken advantage of by Liu's army.

But there is a fatal weakness in this, that is, it is a problem that they can send reinforcements to these small towns. Zhuge Liang has calculated this, he will not let Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren get their wish.

Obviously, Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan finally fell for Zhuge Liang's tricks, and they didn't know it.
