Qin Feng is now facing the problem that the Great Qin Empire once faced in the previous dynasty, that is, the formation of an anti-Qin alliance around it.

But Qin Feng did not have the terrain of the Six Kingdoms, and Cao Cao and Lu Bu were behind him, so they would continue to make trouble, which was an unavoidable problem.

For Qin Feng, Liu Bei and Sun Quan have been disabled at present, and they will not be able to become a climate in two or three years. Although as the saying goes, taking advantage of his illness will kill him, if he continues to encircle and suppress them, it will be difficult to come to Shudi, and second, Sun Quan will garrison along the river, which will not be able to break through in the short term.

Therefore, after discussing with the military advisors, he decided to suspend the offensive in the south, and still according to the original strategic blueprint, after taking Cao Cao of Yongliang, he was attacking Lü Bu, so that the rear was calm, and he could concentrate on preparing for the south.

So, in the twelfth year of Jian'an, in September 203 AD, Qin Feng reorganized the army in Xiangyang. With Zhao Yun as the general, he led 100,000 troops to defend Xiangyang, of which there were still 20,000 cavalry of the Snake Legion. And he himself personally led the army of more than 200,000 horse infantry to the north.

In the battle of Jingzhou, the Qin army also lost troops, but the surrendered Shu soldiers were replenished, so the strength of the army did not change much from the original establishment.

Before the expedition, Qin Feng was wearing armor in the temporary palace in Xiangyang and preparing to go on the expedition.

At this time, Dian Wei walked in and said, "King, Tai Shi Ci and Gan Ning are here." ”

"Oh?" Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, then his face was happy, and he said, "Please." ”

After a while, two generals of Soochow walked in.

Corporal Qin Feng Lixian's appearance sighed again: "The Lone King is about to go north." The Lone King has already gone down, and the two generals can live in this Xiangyang City ....... ”

Tai Shici and Gan Ning glanced at each other.

At this time, Pang Tong strode in. When I saw the second general of Dongwu, my heart moved. He hurriedly shouted happily: "Great king, great king." The families of the two generals were all safely delivered to Xiangyang. ”

"Great!" Qin Fengxin said it in a timely manner, and as soon as he slapped his face, he said happily: "Two generals, this way we can reunite as a family, congratulations." The lonely king is about to go north, and if the two generals need anything in the future, they can find General Zilong. Even if General Zilong can't do it, you can come directly to the Lone King. ”

Qin Feng's words revealed indescribable care and kindness.

Tai Shici and Gan Ning thought that their families would definitely die in Soochow. Unexpectedly, King Qin had already thought about it. The gratitude in the hearts of the two of them was like a fire.

He bowed to the ground and said, "I am willing to help the king of the Northern Expedition with my crippled body!" ”

Qin Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, and his heart was already dancing with his hands and feet.

Ran Tai Shi Ci and the others said: "I only hope that the king will be able to avenge Wu Hou in the future." ”

Sooner or later, Qin Feng was going to have a decisive battle with Sun Quan, how could he not agree, and in this regard, two more generals were added to his command.

After the news of the Qin army's march north reached Jiangling and Eastern Wu. Liu Bei and Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Bei was defeated and unable to use troops, and under Zhuge Liang's construction, he sent envoys to Eastern Wu to talk about the alliance. declared that if there was no harmony, it would definitely be broken by Qin Zijin one by one. Sun Quan sent an envoy back to reaffirm the friendly relations between the two sides, and to play together to resist Qin Zijin in the future.

So far. Liu Bei left Guan Yu to guard Jiangling, and returned to Shu to recuperate.

And Sun Quan was always threatened by the Qin army and the Yangtze River water army. We will make every effort to build a defense line along the river. It is also a beacon tower, and it is a trebuchet that builds an arrow tower and a castle along the river. The bluestone avenue was paved through and was known as the impenetrable land-based defense line of the Yangtze River. He also studied the technology of large ships, and honestly guarded the four counties of Jingnan and the six counties of Jiangdong without action.

……

Xicheng, an important town in the northwest of Jingzhou.

On this day, Xu Huang was gathering in the government to discuss the matter of breaking Lu Bu. A herald came to report that the envoy of the King of Qin had arrived.

Xu Huang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted him.

The envoy said: "The king of Qin decided to march into Yongliang, and specially ordered me to send an order to the general, if the general cannot break Lu Bu, then he can defend the western city, and the king of Qin will lead a large army to arrive in a few days." ”

Xu Huang received the order, and after sending the envoy away, he said to the generals under the account: "The Zhang He Department of Hangu and the Zhang Liao Department of Hefei have all made great contributions, but our department has not yet broken the enemy. I intend to go out of the city to fight, and before the arrival of the King of Qin, I will defeat the soldiers and horses of Lu Bu who have entered the country. ”

While speaking, a scout came to report, "Today, Lu Bu has led his troops to camp in Hanyin, sent Hao Meng as the vanguard to Shilitun Bingshexi in the north of Xicheng, and sent Song Xiantun to Shiquanzui in the south, a total of nine camps before and after, echoing each other from afar. ”

After listening to the report, Xu Huang said, "What plan do you have?" ”

Governor Gao Lan said: "General, these two enemies are led by Hao Meng, and the last general is willing to lead his troops to Shexi to challenge." ”

After Xu Huang thought about it, he said, "I will send my subordinates Xu Shang and Lu Jian to go with you." You and the others have been defeated repeatedly, and it is expected that Hao Meng will definitely lead troops to chase after him. When its army is exhausted, I will go to the soldiers and horses to go around and take its five villages. Hao Meng will inevitably turn back to save him, and you will also turn back, and attack back and forth. ”

"The general's plan is wonderful!"

After the discussion, Gao Lan, Xu Shang, and Lu Jian led 10,000 soldiers and horses to Shexi.

Shexi Lu Bu military camp, Hao Meng heard that Xu Huang's soldiers and horses were coming, and immediately led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to meet the battle.

When the two armies face each other.

Xu Shang on the Qin side went out first, but he was defeated in only three rounds.

Hao Meng was so embarrassed that he waved his big knife and shouted: "There are no generals in the Qin army? ”

Before the words fell, Lu Jianti was shot in the Qin army's formation, and it was only five or six rounds of things, and Lu Jian shouted that he was defeated and left.

Hao Meng became more and more proud, and rode his horse to chase Lu Jian.

In the Qin army, Gao Ran personally came to fight with a spear, and fought with Hao Meng for twenty rounds, but he was also defeated.

Hao Meng won three generals in a row, including Gao Lan, a famous general in Hebei, and suddenly doubled his energy, thinking that he had become a peerless general.

At this time, a deputy general flattered and shouted: "General Hao Meng has won three generals in a row before the battle, which is rare since ancient times!" ”

So all the sergeants sang a hymn together.

When Hao Meng heard this, his heart was surging, and he felt that the Qin army in front of him was like a local chicken and tile dog, and the big sword in his hand was full of cherry blossoms

Gao Lan saw that he was in the middle of it, which led the army to defeat.

Hao Meng showed off his martial arts and chased more than 20 miles all the way.

When the chase arose, a fast horse came to the front. He said: "The general's big thing is not good, Xu Huang led his troops to attack our military camp." has broken three villages in a row! ”

"Wow, aaaaaaaaa Hao Meng's smug appearance suddenly disappeared, and his face turned pale instantly. It was like a piece of red-hot iron thrown into the cold water, and only white smoke remained. "I've been tricked, hurry back to the Rescue Society Creek station."

Hao Meng's grain and grass were all in the camp, and he desperately urged the soldiers all the way, and when he returned to Shexi, the soldiers were extremely tired.

At this time, a group of soldiers and horses arrived, and the front gate flag was opened, and Xu Huang opened the mountain axe and rode out, and said with a smile: "Hao Meng'er." My Great Qin can actually be shaken by the duckweed, so don't get off the horse and be bound! ”

Hao Meng was furious, slashed his knife, and took Xu Huang directly.

I fought three rounds, only to hear Hao Meng's rear army shouting and dispersing.

It turned out that Gao Lan, Xu Shang, and Lu Jian came back from killing. On this front, Hao Meng's army was defeated.

Hao Meng tried his best to survive in order to survive, so he fought his way out and only took dozens of guards to Shiquanzui.

There are five villages in Shexi. Xu Huang only burned four villages, and after defeating Hao Meng, he obtained countless military resources and grain and grass with him, so he gathered his troops and went to the village to rest.

In the big tent.

Xu Huang laughed and said: "Today's attack can be completed because of the strength of the generals." ”

Gao Ran said: "The general should not be careless. Hao Meng has been stationed in Shexi for many days. Familiarity with geography. If he learns that we are stationed in his old village, he may steal the camp at night. ”

Xu Huang said: "What General Gao Ran said is very true, you can lead an army outside." If the enemy does attack the camp at night, there is no need to come to the rescue. Just go and take the enemy camp at Shiquanzui by yourself. ”

Gao Ran took the order and left.

Xu Huang ordered Dazhai to be vacant, and the soldiers and horses were ambushed around.

On the other hand. Hao Meng fled to Shiquanzui, and Song Xian caught it, saying that he had mistakenly fallen into Xu Huang's treacherous scheme.

The relationship between the two is good, and Song Xian worried: "The general's defeat, if the lord learns about it, I am afraid that it will be a big disaster." ”

Lu Bu was brutal, Hao Meng was full of heart and gall, and said: "When I came, I had already sent someone to find out that Xu Huang led the army into my village to rest." My village is close to the mountains and water, but there is a small road that leads to the village, and it is expected that Xu Huang will not know. If you rob the village at night, you will definitely win. Brother Song Xian looked at the past and pulled the brother! ”

Song Xian thought to himself, Xu Huang's victory during the day must be arrogant, and the night attack on the victorious party's camp is in line with the art of war. couldn't get rid of Hao Meng's feelings, so he agreed.

At night, Song Xian took up his troops and horses, and under the leadership of Hao Meng, he took the road to Xu Huang Dazhai, and then made a big noise to enter the village, and found that there was no one in the empty village.

"Hao Meng misunderstood me!" Song Xian was shocked when he knew about the plan.

Hao Meng's face also changed greatly.

At this time, a cannon rang out, Xu Huang led the troops to kill head-on, and laughed: "General Gao Ran is worthy of being a famous general in Hebei, and it is expected that someone will steal the camp tonight, and he will not deceive me." ”

When Song Xian and Hao Meng retreated in a hurry. Xu Shang on the right and Lu Jian on the left killed one after another, Xu Huang was in front, and the three sides attacked.

Countless Lu Bu's soldiers and horses were killed on the stolen path.

When Song Xian and Hao Meng led the remnants of the Sancheng army to retreat to the village, they saw a group of soldiers and horses killing in the flames of Dazhai. If you look closely, it's Gaoyan. The two of them were both heartbroken and did not dare to fight, and led their troops to flee from Hanyin.

Gao Ran took the opportunity to wave his army to cover up the killing, and waited until dawn, when Song Xian and Hao Meng only took a dozen people with them to leave.

The Qin army won another great victory, defeating more than 20,000 Lu Bu's pioneers, and Xu Huang immediately gathered his generals to discuss the matter of advancing into Hanyin.

On the other hand, Song Xian and Hao Meng fled back to the Lü Bu camp in Hanyin.

"What! 20,000 horses lost! Lu Bu was furious when he got the news, and flew down to kick Song Xian and Hao Meng out one by one, "The soldiers and horses are all lost, and you two still have the face to come back?" Come on, the two people who have damaged the prestige of our army will withdraw from the gate and behead the public. ”

Chen Gong, the military advisor on the side, hurriedly said: "Lord, Xu Huang is a famous general of the Qin army, and it is reasonable that Song Xian and Hao Meng are invincible. Now it is to think about how to deal with the enemy, and only kill their own generals, which is not good for the morale of the army. ”

Lu Bu was persuaded to stop, so he ordered the sergeant to drag Song Xian and Hao Meng out and beat them with thirty military sticks to set an example.

Before the thirty army sticks were finished, there was a report from the horses that the 30,000 horses of the Xu Huang Department of the Qin army were already ten miles away from Hanyin.

Lu Bu's combat power is unparalleled in the world, and when he heard that Xu was coming, he ordered the horses to prepare for the battle.

Chen Gong said: "Xu Gongming is the first of the five good generals of the Qin army, and he should not be underestimated. Fang Jin, Liu Bei and Sun Quan were defeated one after another, so it was better to send an envoy to make peace with Qin Feng, return to Hanzhong to recuperate, and think about it in the long run. ”

Lu Bu was suddenly displeased, and said: "Xu Huang does have some means, he came here today to meet my wishes, wait for me to kill him, Xicheng can go down without a fight." If Qin Zijin dares to come, with the Heavenly Halberd in my hand, he should also be killed! ”

So, Lu Bu did not listen to Chen Gong's advice, and personally led 30,000 soldiers and horses to go out of Hanyin to meet Xu Huang.

The two armies lined up against the enemy on the Hanyin border.

Lu Bu waved Fang Tian's halberd in front of the formation and galloped on his horse, and the soldiers of his own side called the name of the god of war everywhere he passed. It's really Lu Bu among people, and Red Rabbit among horses.

When Qin Jun saw it, he was shocked.

At the opening of the Qin Army's gate banner, Xu Huang rode out of the horse and shouted: "Three family slaves, you were driven to Hanzhong by Cao Cao to attach to Zhang Lu, and the thief's heart did not change and he killed the master and rebelled. Thanks to your heroic style in the past, you were shocked in China, and today you have become a dog disciple with four surnames, so people hear it and scold it! ”

Lu Bu was furious, fearless of tens of thousands of Qin troops, and brandished Fang Tian's halberd on horseback, and went straight to take Xu Huang's life.

Xu Huang shook his spirit, and he also opened the mountain to welcome him.

The sound of clanging weapons clashing spread to all directions.

Although Lu Bu was superb in martial arts, Xu Huang was also a famous general at that time, and the two sides fought for more than 90 rounds, regardless of victory or defeat. The soldiers on both sides watched this ancient battle and were fascinated.

When the battle was in full swing, he suddenly heard a loud shouting around him. When Lu Bu hurriedly looked over, he saw that endless Qin troops were killed in all directions.

It turned out that Xu Huang heard that Lu Bu was leading the army, so he let Gao Ran and others ambush him around, just waiting for the right time to encircle and outflank.

In this way, the four sides attacked, and Lu Bu's army was in chaos.

However, Lu Bu was not afraid of danger, and after a thousand soldiers and horses were broken, he fought to the death and did not retreat, ensuring the safe retreat of more than 20,000 of his own people.

In the end, only Lu Bu was left alone, wielding the Fang Tian painting halberd and relying on the power of the red rabbit, he rushed out of the Qin army and left.

Xu Huang didn't chase after him, looked at Lu Bu's distant figure, and said, "Lu Bu's courage is not reduced back then." ”

It is said that Lu Bu returned to the big tent of Hanyin, entered the big tent in a hurry, and was caught by Chen Gong. When he saw Chen Gong, he was even more annoyed, and said, "Gongtai has always had a strategy, why is there no good plan to help me today?" ”

Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Chen Gong already has a plan, but the general is thorough." ”

Lu Bu was overjoyed and said, "Will the plan be released?" (To be continued......)
