When they learned that Xiahoudun was going to defend Liang Fu and wanted to fight Guan Yu, Chen Gong, Cheng Yu and others were shocked. So he made Zang Ba's troops out of Juping, in order to respond to Xiahou Xuan, and led the troops with full favor, and then deployed Snake Hill to oppress Wenyang.

A long and narrow piece of land between several counties suddenly became angry. Now, the country of Lu has fallen, and the news of Guan Yu's arrival in the south can no longer be hidden. The news flew to Pengcheng like wings and reached Xiahou Yuan's ears. When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he said in vain that I had made a lot of arrangements in Pengcheng to wait for Guan Yu, who would have thought that he would bypass Pengcheng and go straight to Lu to copy my brother's back road. In this case, this battle cannot be fought like this. So Xiahou Yuan hurriedly transferred the soldiers and horses in the state, and then divided the troops to continue to besiege Pengcheng, and then led another group of men and horses to attack the Lu State.

Before leaving, he sent a letter to Cao Ren in Jingzhou, saying: "Now Meng De is far away in Yizhou, and I don't know what happened here. I am allied with Yangzhou, and Jingzhou should have nothing to do. Guan Yu came to the south to help Tai Shici and others to attack Yuan Rang, if Yuan Rang was defeated, Yanzhou would be difficult to protect. Meng De has been building for many years, how can he bear to give up, Zixiao can lead the army to help. ”

No one expected that Guan Yu's southward movement directly led to Mount Tai and Lu becoming a flesh mill. After losing Bo County, Xiahoudun said to Lu Qian: "How fast the enemy is, it is better to delay the battle today to relieve the enemy's sharpness." "Once the morale is beaten by the Han army, the next bad will be more and more smooth. Xiahoudun didn't want to see a morale-boosting army appear in front of him.

Lu Qian said: "The last general will obey his fate." So along the direction of Bo County, a camp was set up to resist Tai Shi Ci's soldiers and horses. At the same time that Tai Shici was advancing all the way, Zhang Fei also made a move in Jibei Kingdom, and he stationed troops in Suixiang, threatening the flanks of Yanzhou soldiers and horses on the one hand, and eyeing Dongping Kingdom on the other.

Cheng Yu and Chen Gong were also very nervous at this time. In the previous correspondence with Cao Cao, Cao Cao had already made a decision. When the situation was really not good, he allowed Cheng Yu, Chen Gong and others to abandon Yanzhou. But the premise is to delay the footsteps of Liu Bei's army as much as possible and preserve the vitality of Yanzhou. After all, Yanzhou was surrounded by Liu Bei's forces, and it was really difficult to defend it with too many protrusions in front, but Yuzhou in the back was something that Cao Cao had to defend.

Yanzhou is surrounded by Sili, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou, but Yuzhou is different. Not to mention the wealth of Yuzhou, Yangzhou and Jingzhou are also connected to the south. It can be said that it is in the middle of the world. If this place can't be defended, even if Cao Cao takes Yizhou, he will only feel that he has suffered a big loss, not that he has taken advantage.

Therefore, Xiahoudun wanted to fight Guan Yu in Liangfu, and Yanzhou was also very nervous. It doesn't matter if you win or lose for a while, no one is a winning general, even their lord Cao Cao often loses battles, who can guarantee victory in a hundred battles. But you can lose, but you can't lose the capital. Otherwise, how to turn over then? Before, Xiahoudun just had to face a Guan Yu, but now there are Tai Shici and Zhang Fei in the north, and this situation is very bad.

Tai Shi Ci rushed forward wildly, attacking from Bo County to the foot of Youlai Mountain. Seeing the enemy camp, and then retreating to the village, Wei Yan said: "The enemy general's ability is not bad, the camp is organized, and it occupies a dangerous place, if you rashly attack it, I am afraid of losing your sharpness." It is advisable to slow down. ”

When Wei Yan was in full swing, he said: "It's better to try to attack it first." ”

Tai Shi Ci pondered for a while, but agreed, so he asked Wei Yan to lead other troops to attack Lu Qian's camp. Lu Qian has followed Cao Cao for many years, I don't know how many battles he has experienced, the two armies are facing each other, and he may not be Wei Yan's opponent, but if he says that he guards the camp and guards the enemy soldiers, it is his forte.

When Wei Yan and Tai Shici were visiting the camp, Lu Qian was on top of the tall building in the camp, and when he saw it from a distance, he smiled and said: "If I am an enemy general, I will retreat and set up a village." If he dares to attack my camp, he is not enough to worry about. ”

Later, when he saw Taishi Ciguo retreating, he sighed: "There are so many generals under Liu Xuande. After thinking about it, he ordered to go down again, and ordered the three armies to be vigilant, lest Tai Shi Ci would use a plan to confuse the army and deceive him. but secretly they attacked the camp.

That night, Wei Yan led the soldiers and horses, so he made people rank them, and the horses picked up the bells and sneaked outside the enemy village. Wei Yan saw that under the hazy moonlight, the enemy camp was dark, and faintly, above the wilderness, the sound of snoring was clearly heard. Wei Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and secretly said that this day will help me make contributions, and now the enemy will be defenseless, and he can break through the enemy village in one go. If the general does not listen to me, then if I capture the enemy general, see what he says.

As soon as the thought in Wei Yan's mind flashed, he immediately ordered an attack on the enemy camp. The Han army stepped forward according to the order, threw ropes and tore down the gate of the enemy village, and then set fire to the fire, and shot arrows, but the others swarmed in under the leadership of Wei Yan. Suddenly, the enemy camp was on fire everywhere, and the sound of killing was rising.

Wei Yan rushed in first, only to see that there was fire on all sides, and there was no movement in the enemy camp at all, he was not an ordinary person after all, his mind was calm and delicate, and he immediately reacted, no, I am afraid that it is just a calculation. So he raised his big hand, then turned his horse's head and gave the order to retreat.

Lu Qian led his troops to hide behind the front camp, and in the darkness he saw an enemy general rushing in and setting fire everywhere, and as soon as the fire started, the enemy general stopped, and after a few breaths, he saw that the enemy general was fighting his horse and wanted to retreat. Where was Lu Qian willing to follow, let Wei Yan attack and set a fire, lost countless equipment and military resources, and then retreated. How is this possible?

So Lu Qian couldn't hold it anymore, shouted, led all the troops to attack, and screamed and rushed straight to the Han army. Although Wei Yan reacted in time, the reaction of his subordinates was not as fast as his, the nerves of the Han army who set fire everywhere were just excited, the blood in his body was churning, and he suddenly got the order to retreat, and he hadn't turned a corner one by one, wondering if the general had given the wrong order. As soon as it slowed down, the enemy troops in the rear camp suddenly poured out like a tide.

Although the Han army was not in chaos, it could not stabilize its position, and was killed by Lu Qian and his troops to defeat and retreat again and again, and in the chaos of the army, Wei Yan also had nothing to do, so he had to lead his men and horses everywhere to rescue the besieged Han army, and then gather together, and fight and go. Lu Qian saw Wei Yan from afar, so he ordered the archers in the army: "Keep an eye on that general, don't let him go." ”

After Lu Qian finished speaking, he led his troops and horses to surround the Han army one by one, and then intercepted and killed them with superior forces. There is a world of difference between an army with a command and without a command. Wei Yan could have retreated early, but in order not to lose more soldiers and horses, he fought bloodily on the front line, fighting hard with countless Cao troops who surrounded him. Unbeknownst to him, the danger was approaching.

When Wei Yan brandished his broadsword and slashed horizontally, a group of archers had already approached the battlefield under the cover of the robes. Fifty people pulled the bowstring in unison, held their breath, and waited for the team's official order. He wanted to shoot Wei Yan with a bow.
