Chapter 67 Zhao Botao Luoshui ambush Xu Gongming Songshan Rescue

"The peak did not act ineffectively, causing the lord to be trapped a lot. It is fortunate that the lord did not punish him. How dare he make contributions?" Zhao Feng looked at Lao Liu, who escaped from death and smiled. No matter what he thought now, the polite words on his mouth still had to be said. Otherwise, who knows if he will mind? Even if he doesn't mind, others will be unhappy. Just listening to this sentence, it felt as if Lao Liu had a little bit of love with himself. Zhao Feng also felt that he was too spoof when he thought of this, and quickly suppressed these strange ideas.

But now Liu Bei is obviously in a good mood. After saying hello to Zhao Feng, Liu Bei looked at the people around him again. When he saw Li Yan, Liu Bei was also slightly stunned. Finally, he sighed with a little emotion, "Zheng Fang, you're here too!"

With a "puff", Li Yan immediately knelt down on the spot and said, "Lord forgives his sins. Li Yan was confused for a moment and was coerced by Pang Shiyuan to make trouble together. Although he was all in Xuchang, he came to save him until now. Please surrender his sins. Li Yan will never dare to complain!"

Liu Bei hasn't said anything yet, but Wenpin can't stand it anymore; he hurried forward and said, "Master, Li Zhengfang is not to blame for this. He was coerced by Pang Shiyuan and Liu Shuye, and he has only found an opportunity to come to save him. In addition, over the past month, Xiahou Dun has repeatedly invaded Yanzhou, and they have been repulsed by the Zhengfang. If it hadn't been for Li Zhengfang's timely whole army to rescue me, I'm afraid General Zhao would have spent more time to repel Cao Hong. As Wen Ping said this, he hurriedly glanced at everyone.

Li Yanping said that the popularity of Li was not bad. At this time, Wenpin took the lead, and everyone persuaded them one after another. Liu Bei waved his hand to everyone not to be impatient, and then personally picked up Li Yan and said, "I can't help myself. Don't I know? Now being able to wave troops to save is enough to explain everything. After a pause, Liu Bei also changed the topic and said, "I'm lonely and trapped, but I don't know what the situation is now?"

Everyone knows that Liu Bei has forgiven Li Yan. At present, everyone has a tacit understanding not to discuss this topic, but the most well-informed Ma Zhen tells the latest things to everyone. From the time when the emperor was killed, Cao Wei retreated from the army to the later incident of Sima Yi, and the Hanzhong was lost. Not to mention that Liu Bei and others don't know a lot of things, even Zhao Feng has just heard of it.

"Your Majesty!" As Zhao Feng expected, as soon as Liu Bei heard that Emperor Han Xian had burp, he immediately cried. He was a fifty-year-old man, and the tears came. It's not particularly strange that Zhao Feng and he have known each other for a long time, but Ma Yan and others were shocked. Fortunately, Zhao Feng and Zhang Fei are used to this scene, and the latter gave up. The former is already familiar with how to persuade. Then he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, if your majesty is killed, it is naturally revenge. How can the Lord be blindly sad? It is difficult for your majesty to close his eyes even if he knows it under the nine springs!"

"What Bo Tao said is reasonable!" Liu Bei wiped his tears and stopped crying for the time being. After a pause, Liu Bei asked in a hateful voice, "I don't know what strategies you have now to deal with the current situation?"

Zhao Feng looked at the people, mainly Chen Gong and Xu Shu, but saw that they also signaled him to say it first. At present, Zhao Feng pondered slightly, "Now the lord has been out of danger. In addition to the people brought by Li Zhengfang and Wen Zhongye, the sailors who are also prosperous have also entered the Yellow River waterway. The superiority of our forces with Cao Hong has been reversed. If he saw the opportunity quickly and quickly withdrew to Hebei, he would give up. If you stay in Henan, you will definitely be surrounded and annihilated by us. As for Xu Huang and Zhang Yi's two partial divisions, they were all the way in the hinterland of Song Mountain, and the quilts were entangled. Our army turned around and it was bound to annihilate them. The other way was Zhang Yi's army stationed in Yongning. If he saw the opportunity quickly, he could quickly join Cao Hong and escape back to Hebei. If you walk slowly, you will be annik by me.

"It's just that although Li Zhengfang has settled Yanzhou and Yuzhou now, Pang Shiyuan and Liu Shuye have fled back to Jingnan. In addition to Ma Jichang in Ba County, they still have 50,000 or 60,000 horses under their command. If you count the 40,000 Jiaozhou army of Shi Guangyuan in Jiaozhou, there are even nearly 100,000 troops. If they make trouble in the hinterland, I'm afraid it will be a disaster. In addition, now that Hanzhong has been lost, Sima Yi may invade Hanzhong at any time. There are only a few soldiers in Xichuan. I'm afraid the situation is unfavorable!" After listening to Zhao Feng's words, Chen Gong was a little worried. Although he didn't make it too clear, everyone understood what he meant, that is, under the premise of unstable defense, it's better not to stay on the front line now. It's better to return to the army quickly and appease the place. Liu Bei was hesitating when he heard the words, but he heard someone come to report that Gan Ning was asking for a meeting.

"Please!" Liu Bei was a little surprised and quickly announced. After a while, Gan Ning entered the account. After meeting with everyone, Gan Ning was a little frustrated and said, "Master, according to what Li Zhengfang said, the last general will go to the Yellow River waterway to intercept Cao Hong's retreat. Not to expect the ships to march to the Hanoi County, but dozens of thick iron chains were pulled along the Yellow River, and there were soldiers on both sides, which immediately blocked the whole waterway and the ships were unable to travel. The last general had no choice but to come to the Lord first and ask the Lord to forgive him!"

"Big chain?" Liu Bei was stunned when he heard the words. He didn't expect that Cao Yan would use such a trick to deal with his sailor. In this way, at least the upper reaches of the Yellow River are unimpeded. In this way, if Cao Hong really wants to run away, Liu Bei really can't do anything about him.

"In this case, Lord, I think I'd better go back to the army first, calm people's hearts, and swallow Xu Huang's partial division by the way." Zhao Feng thought for a thought. Now it seems that it is really unrealistic to completely annihete Cao's army south of the Yellow River. As for Zhang Yi's deviation all the way, if he runs fast enough, he will probably have to pull it down.

"That's the only way!" Liu Bei thought for a moment and finally sighed. On the other hand, in addition to escaping from death, I can also kill the other party all the way. This ending is already very good. Thinking about it, Liu Bei was much more comfortable. I was about to send someone to help Wang Ping clean up Xu Huang, but he heard Ma Yan say, "In fact, as long as it is properly allocated, even if you can't eat Cao Hong, you are 70% or 80% sure of eating Zhang's jaw."

"Huh? You Chang, do you have any plans? Zhao Feng always knew that Ma Yan sometimes had some whims, so he hurriedly asked him. Ma Qian looked at Liu Bei. After getting permission from the latter's eyes, he said, "Now the master, General Zhao, Li Sashi and General Gan and other soldiers and horses from all walks of life have added up to 140,000 to 50,000 horses. Next week, General Tai is using the sailor to rely on Luo Shui to block Zhang's jaw. If he can put Zhang's jaw over, with the advantage of our troops, it's easy to eat Zhang's jaw.

"That's true, but when you are young, Cao Hong has retreated, and he will send someone to inform Zhang Yi to retreat." Liao Hua frowned when he heard the words. Ma Yu shook his head and then pointed to the map and said, "Please see, Zhang Yi was originally stationed in Yongning, but now he is facing General Zhou on both sides of Luoshui. Even if Cao Hong sent someone to inform Zhang Yi to retreat, hundreds of miles north and south of Luoshui, how did the messenger know where Zhang Yi was confronted now? If you look for it slowly along the bank of the Luoshui River, it must be delayed. Therefore, this messenger must go to Yongning first to know where Zhang Yi is now from Zhang Hao's men, and then inform Zhang Yi.

"That's true!" Liao Hua nodded, but then asked, "Even so, so what?" Chen Gong and Xu Shu, who were beside him, listened to Ma Qian's analysis and already understood something.

"So the key now is how to intercept the communication soldiers of Cao Hong's platoon. Since he must go to Yongning first, we can send hundreds of people to cross Luoshui and swim near Yongning. When we see the enemy's communication soldiers, we will rob them. Cao Hong sent messengers from Hulao Pass to Yongning. The journey was farther than I waited. If I crossed the river to intercept at this time, I could catch up. At the same time, General Zhou was asked to withdraw his troops to the north. When Zhang Yi saw it, he naturally thought that General Zhou wanted to evacuate to Wancheng, and then thought that the battle situation in Xingyang was unfavorable to our army. General Zhou then withdrew from Wancheng. In addition, he did not know what was going on, so he was bound to lead the army to cross the river to Xingyang to participate in the war as soon as possible, and we could take the opportunity to attack the enemy on this way. Destroy it." Ma Yan talked sarly and said. His plan was a little novel, and everyone was a little refreshing when they heard it. Even Xu Shu and Chen Gong, who have always been resourceful, feel that this strategy is quite ingenious.

Ma Jian's strategy is complicated. In fact, the reason is very simple. Before Zhang Yi knew the exact news, he cheated him to the east of Luoshui and then surrounded and annihilated him. The key to the specific implementation depends on whether the communication soldiers sent by Cao Hong can be intercepted. Liu Bei looked at the map and praised it unexpectedly: "Youchang, your plan is quite ingenious. I think even if you can't deceive Zhang's jaw, it's just to let him run away. Bo Tao, you go and arrange manpower, and act according to the usual strategy!"

"No!" Zhao Feng responded and suddenly felt a little strange: Liu Bei looked down on Ma Yan in history, but now he is full of praise. The deviation of history is really too big. At present, Zhao Feng sent a hundred of the most clever and capable cavalry to intercept Cao Hong's messengers on several roads east of Yongning. I'm going to transfer people and prepare to get rid of Zhang's jaws. Historical experience tells him that Zhang Yi is definitely the top escape master of the Three Kingdoms. It's not difficult to defeat him, but it's not easy to catch him alive. Zhao Feng also tried his best to make the encirclement tighter, so as not to let this big fish run away.

More than a hundred people left Xingyang one after another. Some went to rob and kill the communication soldiers, and some went to inform Zhou Tai. At this time, on both sides of Luoshui, the angry Zhangjiao and the arrogant Zhou Tai were facing each other, and their moods formed a sharp contrast.

Zhang Hao knew that the Jingzhou Marine Division was sharp and he was not an opponent. But he also knew that his big chain had been blocked on the Yellow River for a long time, and the Jingzhou sailor could not drive into this Luoshui. Without the warship, can Zhou Tai still stop himself?

The answer is yes. Zhou Tai, the 5,000 sailors, also took advantage of the confiscated ordinary civilian fishing boats, merchant ships and even the newly built rafts, have been unable to pass Luoshui for the past two days. Although these Jingxiang sailors in leather armor did not have warships, these civilian ships still rowed quite smoothly. On the other hand, on Zhang's side, the Northern Army couldn't find a few people who could row, so they had to recruit fishermen on both sides of the strait to row. But even so, these fishermen who had never experienced warships panicked when they met the sailors who came to intercept them, and most of them dived and fled on the spot. Zhou Tai's sailors can row while shooting crossbows. If Zhang Yi dares to send someone to cross the river with a bamboo raft, there will be skilled sailors diving into the water and cutting the leather of the wooden raft. After the rafts were scattered, these Cao soldiers were drowned. In a word, it took two days to kill and injure more than 2,000 people, and Cao Jun was unable to survive a soldier. On the other hand, on Zhou Tai's side, there were no more than 200 casualties. Look at this posture. Unless the 40,000 people with Zhang Yi are familiar with the surname of water, they will not be able to cross Luoshui.

"Damn it, this damn Luo Shui!" After another failure to cross the river, Zhang Yi was already angry. Several captains around him were as cold as cicadas. Finally, his younger brother Zhang Chao accompanied him carefully and said, "Brother, do you think it's a different way to cross the river?"

"In another way, what can you do?" Zhang Hao said angrily. Zhang Chao was thinking about it, but he saw Zhou Tai shouting on the opposite side. Somehow, everyone gathered and then retreated to the south. This retreat is so fast, just like a homeless dog.

"What's going on?" Zhang Yi and others looked at each other in front of each other. After a long time, Zhang Chao asked, "Brother, what's wrong with Zhou Tai? He actually ran away?"

"Did General Zilian and General Gongming defeat Zhao Botao and have gone south?" Zhang Zhi muttered. Everyone made a lot of time and felt that this might be the biggest surname. Zhang Yi thought about it, but he really couldn't think of why Zhou Tai suddenly ran away. Naturally, he would not have thought that because of Li Yan's counterattack, the comparative advantage of Cao and Liu's troops in Henan had been reversed. He would not have thought that the five messengers sent by Cao Hong to inform him had been intercepted. At this time, the one who moved to the south was not Cao Hong, who was ready to meet him, but Zhao Feng, who was ready to kill him.

"Quick, cross the river!" Zhang Yi was overjoyed and ordered people to spend more time crossing the river. Without Zhou Tai's insentance, almost half of the 40,000 troops have crossed the river in a short time. Just as Zhang was thinking that he could all cross the river tonight, a fast horse suddenly came to the east.

"General Zhang, hurry up, withdraw quickly. Liu Bei has escaped from Xingyang, and General Cao was defeated and returned to the tiger prison. Now Liu Bei's army has come over!" The knight on the fast horse shouted before he fell off the horse. Zhang Yi was also stunned when he heard the words. At this time, he heard the shouts of killing in the lower reaches of the east bank of the Luo River, and then countless military horses were killed. Even if Zhang Yi was slow to react, he knew that he was ambushed today.

"Withdraw quickly, withdraw!" Zhang Hao hurriedly commanded, and he was the first to jump on the boat and withdraw to the west bank. Ao Feng, who led the army to kill, saw this situation and quickly ordered to be surrounded and quickly encircled and annihilated Zhang. But at this time, a Biao army was also killed in the east, and the flag on the first war flag was "General Xu Zhendong".

"How did Xu Huang kill him?" Seeing this banner, Zhao Feng was also stunned, but there were not too many people. At present, Zhao Feng ordered the battle. With his order, Zhang Liao and Gao Lan led people separately and rushed up from both sides to stop Xu Huang from fighting.
