Speaking that it was too late, Guan Yu suddenly lowered his body, dragged up the corpse of an enemy soldier, blocked in front of himself and Xiahoudun, and then waved the big knife in his hand, shouting at the soldiers behind him who had not yet reacted: "Withdraw!" Remove! ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a whoosh, and a sharp pain came from the left arm, but it was a small crossbow on the left arm. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Guan Yu didn't dare to slack off, and slowly lifted the corpse like a rag bag in his hand to protect himself, and then retreated to the cloud ladder, and jumped down a few times. At this time, Xiahoudun and the soldiers had already turned over and left the city, met Guan Yu, and after withdrawing out of the range of the archers, Xiahoudun said hatefully: "Xu Rong old thief! It's a pity that it's just a little while, and we will take Xingyang City. ”

Guan Yu's face was gloomy, he endured the severe pain and grabbed the arrow shaft, snorted, and the crossbow arrow was pulled out by him with a piece of flesh and blood, and then wrapped the wound with a strip of clean white cloth in the bag around his waist, and said: "Let's go back to the camp first!" ”

When Xu Rong led the crossbowmen to appear at the head of the city, Liu Bei knew that it was going to be bad, and this siege of the city would definitely end without a problem. So he had to order Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

After cleaning the battlefield and burying the remains of Paoze, Cao Cao went to Liu Bei's tent and said in a deep voice: "Xuande, Xu Rong is an old man with spicy means and a steady personality. I have a strategy to break Xingyang. ”

Liu Bei sighed, and then said with great interest: "Meng De has a plan to break Xingyang?" Come on. He and Xun Yu discussed it together for a long time before they came to an eyebrow, and they didn't expect Cao Cao to have a plan so soon.

I saw Cao Cao gritting his teeth and said: "In my opinion, it is better for the army to retreat thirty miles, and then build more logging, so that people can decide to irrigate Xingyang City, and then we will go down the river, and Xingyang can be determined with one drum!" ”

After listening to this, Liu Bei was stunned, thinking to himself, it was really Lao Cao, who was worthy of being ruthless and killing decisive people. How many people will die in this diversion of water to attack the city? This guy completely treats human life like a mustard. No wonder he later attacked Xuzhou and slaughtered a sea of corpses and blood all the way......

Liu Bei was still pondering, and then saw Xun Yu hurriedly said: "Absolutely not!" ”

Xun Yu said loudly: "What do we want to do when we wait for the army to rebel?" For the sake of the common people in this world, for the sake of this Han Sheji! Now Meng De is a Xingyang City, and he ignores the people of the city, isn't it putting the cart before the horse? ”

Cao Cao was angry and retorted: "If you can take care of the people in the city, you can't take care of the lives of the sons and daughters in our army!" Wen Ruo, you must know that Xingyang City is not ours now, and all the soldiers and civilians in the city are our enemies! ”

Xun Yu also did not give in: "They are all the people under the rule of the Han Dynasty, how can they say that the enemy is coming?" Our only enemy is Dong Zhuo! ”

Liu Bei smelled the smell of gunpowder in the air, woke up from his contemplation, smiled bitterly and asked the two to sit down, and then said to Cao Cao: "Meng De, this plan is very good, but it hurts the heavens and peace, and I don't want to use it." And the water irrigates Xingyang, and it takes a lot of time to clean it up, which is too time-consuming. It is not suitable to use it. ”

Cao Cao said angrily: "Then Xuande watches me wait for my soldiers to die every day?" ”

Liu Bei said: "I discussed with Wen Ruo, but the troops can go out of Aocang, Aocang is the place where Xingyang is stocked with grain, and it is the must save of Xingyang, we will attack Aocang, Xu Rong will go out of the city to save it, and then set up an ambush on the road, waiting for Xu Rong's reinforcements ......"

Before he finished speaking, Cao Cao said: "Encircle the point to send reinforcements? Well, that's a great idea. Okay, according to Xuande's words. But the ambush soldiers have to let me come, anyway, Ao Cang is a feint! ”

Liu Bei hesitated: "Meng De has few soldiers, and if he encounters reinforcements, he may not be his opponent." ”

Cao Cao said: "Xuan Dexiu underestimates me, Xu Rongruo comes, and watch me take his head!" ”

On this day, Xu Rong was resting in the mansion, and suddenly a personal soldier came to report: "General, Liu Bei has withdrawn, Liu Bei has withdrawn!" ”

Xu Rong was surprised, he had only been attacking for a few days, and he had retreated, this was not Liu Bei's style. So he went up to the city to watch the battle. I saw Liu Bei dialing the camp, and the three armies really slowly retreated, leaving only a mess.

Xu Rong pondered for a while and said, "Send the scout, find out with me clearly, and see where Liu Bei's army is going." ”

An hour later, the scout Pegasus reported: "General, Liu Bei's soldiers retreated fifty miles, then turned to the left and went straight to Aocang." ”

Xu Rong said in his heart, sure enough. The deputy general next to him hurriedly said: "General, Ao Cang is the place where our army's grain is stored, and there is no room for loss, if Liu Bei's army attacks Ao Cang, we can send reinforcements quickly!" ”

Xu Rong said with a smile: "What reinforcements to send, don't send!" ”

The adjutant general hurriedly said: "The general wants to abandon Ao Canghu? ”

Xu Rong said: "Although Aocang is only a place to store grain, it is backed by Guangwu Mountain, and the front is close to Bianshui, the terrain is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It's not much worse than Xingyang. Will Liu Bei abandon Xingyang and attack Aocang? Even if he captures Aocang, can he cross the Aocang soldiers and enter the Tiger Prison Pass? ”

The adjutant general shouted: "But there is grain in Aocang!" ”

Xu Rong said: "Yes, there is grain in Aocang, and everyone in the world knows it, but is Liu Bei short of food?" Will he be able to take Ao Cang in a hurry? ”

The adjutant general had a flash of inspiration and hesitated: "Could it be ......?"

Xu Rong said with a smile: "Yes, Liu Bei just thinks that Ao Cang has food, he will save me if he attacks me, and I will lead troops out of the city to save Ao Cang." His attack on Aocang is false, and it is true that he led me out of the city. I expect that there will be ambushes in dangerous places along the way! ”

Sure enough, another hour later, a scout came to report: "General, go to Aocang Road, in the valley, faintly see the flag." ”

The adjutant general bowed and said, "General Gaojian! ”

Xu Rong laughed and said, "Liu Bei, that's it." Officers and men, seize the time to strengthen the city's defense and rectify the defense. Tomorrow at the latest, Liu Bei will react, and then I will be in Xingyang City, and it will be another bloody battle! ”

Xu Rong was extremely proud in his heart, and he felt very happy when he remembered that Liu Bei led the ambush soldiers in the valley to wait for his reinforcements stupidly, while he was drinking and enjoying himself in the mansion.

However, Xu Rong was wrong, and it was Cao Cao's department who was stupidly waiting for the cold air to blow in the valley. Liu Bei brought men and horses, but surrounded Ao Cang to death, and then Huang Zhong led the soldiers to shout. The drums shook the sky, but they didn't move a knife or a shot, and they were reluctant to shoot a single arrow.

Ao Cang was very nervous before, but later he saw that Liu Bei's catapult had a weak half a day before it hit a cannon, and then he was instantly relieved. However, he still ordered to go down, and he must keep his eyes open at night and guard strictly, if Liu Bei is arrogant strategy, let himself relax his vigilance now, and then take the opportunity to attack at night.

In the evening of the second day, Xun Yu said: "Lord, Xu Rong will not come. ”

Liu Bei said with a smile: "It is worthy of the general of Liangzhou, and it is not surprising to see through this plan." Okay, let's move on to the second part of the plan, Wen Ruo, you guard this place on my behalf, and Hansheng is here to listen to your orders. Yun Chang and I left at night with 5,000 elite soldiers. ”

Xun Yu said: "Lord, is there a little less than 5,000 soldiers?" ”

Liu Bei smiled: "If you call Meng De again, it will be a lot." After speaking, he remembered that Cao Cao strongly asked to go to the valley to set up an ambush, and he couldn't help but laugh.

After dinner, Liu Bei led Guan Yu and Liu Ke to lead 5,000 soldiers to take advantage of the night and quietly left. When he arrived at the place where Cao Cao set up an ambush, he ordered the scouts to contact Cao Cao.

Cao Cao held a torch to Liu Bei and said suspiciously: "Xuande, why did you get here, but Xu Rong is here?" ”

Liu Bei saw that Cao Cao's clothes and armor were messy and covered with grass clippings, and he was probably lying on the ground, so he said: "Meng De, in my opinion, this plan has been seen through by Xu Rong, and he will not come." ”

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he said: "I expect it to be the same, otherwise the earth-shattering drums over there have come to me, how can he be indifferent?" That being the case, but to attack Xingyang City at night? ”

This guy's head is spinning pretty fast. Liu Bei shook his head and said, "No, although Xu Rong knows that our attack on Ao Cang is to lure him out of the city, but this person has always done things without leakage, and Xingyang must be as heavily guarded as before." I won't attack Xingyang, sneak overnight, go out of the side of Xingyang and hit Yuting! ”

Xingyang was the country of Yu in ancient times, and Yu Pavilion was where the capital of Yu was located at that time. Now it is one left and one right with Aocang, and each other is Xingyang. If the pavilion is broken, Xingyang is like a broken arm, and from the pavilion and crossing the water, you can directly attack the tiger prison.

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes were shining, and he said: "Xuande, you said that if we break through the Pavilion overnight, and then deceive the two armies to fight, and the Pavilion is not down, will Xu Rong come to the rescue?" ”

Liu Bei thought to himself, this head turned. Then he said: "You can also try, if you come, you will join forces to attack it, if you don't come, I will leave a general to garrison here, and then return to the division to attack Aocang, take its military rations, when the time comes, Xu Rong will be chaotic." ”

The army traveled at night, ran for a day and night, and finally arrived at the pavilion. Liu Bei ordered the three armies to rest for an hour and launch a general attack after an hour.

Liu Bei hid in the forest to observe the pavilion, and found that the defenders at the head of the city were not unusual, perhaps because of the proximity to the right rear side of Xingyang, the battle in Xingyang did not affect the pavilion at all. Although there were twice as many soldiers on the walls and at the gates, the gates were still wide open, and caravans and people kept coming and going from the city on their own.

Liu Bei found a strange phenomenon at this time, that is, the whole world was at war, and when the smoke was continuous, the caravans were often more active. These guys who are not afraid of death, they are strange in stock, coming and going from south to north, selling shocks from all over the world, and making a lot of money. Liu Bei could only sigh with emotion, he wanted money and didn't want his life.

An hour later, with a trumpet, Guan Yu and Xia Houdun each led five hundred horses to roll towards the pavilion like the wind, and behind them, Liu Bei and Cao Cao held their swords high and shouted: "Kill!" ”

Nearly 10,000 foot soldiers raised swords and guns and stepped on the smoke and dust in the sky, and went to the pavilion to kill together.

The sudden change made the Yuting soldiers not react at all. At the city gate, the caravan and the people saw that there were cavalry killed, and immediately became in chaos, and threw away the things in their hands, and then scattered in a hurry, without the guidance of the defenders, everyone broke like headless flies, and the city gate became more and more crowded. Goods were scattered all over the ground, and poultry were flying around, forming a mess of porridge.

When the guards got the news and caught up with the city, he only had time to see the blood splashed by Guan Yu and Xiahoudun when they raised their big knives and cut down.

In the neighing of the fierce horse, Guan Yu and Xiahoudun cooperated, and killed the defenders at the city gate with a single charge, and then guarded the city gate, waiting for the foot soldiers led by their lord.

An hour later, the Pavilion fell.
