Chapter 59 Sun Cao's Combined Forces to Break Liu Bei Nan Ye's Appointment to Sun Quan (16

Zhou Yu got the news of Sun Quan in Bingzhou. Hearing that Sun Quan got Yuzhou, Liu Bei had left the city and couldn't help but be overjoyed. The ultimate goal of the strategy set by him and Sima Yi is to take the land of Liu Bei's three states. Now the three states have taken two states, and the victory and defeat is only in the battle of Bingzhou.

When Sima Yi saw Zhou Yu's happy eyebrows and came to discuss with him, he guessed that Sun Quan had won Yuzhou and congratulated him: "Zhou Dudu's face must be a plan for Yuzhou!"

Zhou Yu was inevitably on guard everywhere when he first cooperated with Sima Yi, but after a while, Zhou Yu found that Sima Yi did not seem to have much ambition and actually gave up Yanzhou and Yuzhou to himself, which made Zhou Yu feel a little unbelievable. However, as the strategy was carried out step by step, Yanzhou and Yuzhou also fell into the hands of Sun Quan. Zhou Yu gradually believed that Sima Yi was sincere cooperation. At this time, he did not hide it and said bluntly, "To tell the truth, Governor Sima, Yuzhou has been obtained by our master. Now Liu Bei is coming to Bingzhou.

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Then congratulations to the governor!" I don't know who I will fight against Liu Bei with the intention of the governor?

Zhou Yu knew that Liu Bei came with grain, and the soldiers and horses were not elite. This battle was not difficult. It can be said that it was a fat poor, so he was not polite to Sima Yi. Dangren did not give up and said, "Liu Bei doesn't have to bother Sima Dudu. I'll go in this battle."

Sima Yi did not fight for it, and at that time, he agreed with Zhou Yu to send troops. He hoped that Zhou Yu and Liu Bei would have a deeper hatred, so that even if Nan Ye sent troops, Dong Wu would be in front of him.

Zhou Yu came to see Sima Yi to discuss ambush Liu Bei. After the two discussed properly, Zhou Yu secretly led the troops and left an empty camp here, confusing the people in the city and making Guan Yu and Zhang Fei afraid to leave the city.

It was not difficult for Zhou Yu to ambush Liu Bei. Considering that Liu Bei wanted to save Guan and Zhang Er would definitely choose the nearest path, Zhou Yu ambushed on the straight path between Yuzhou and Bingzhou. However, what Zhou Yu didn't expect was that after waiting for two days, he did not wait for Liu Bei, but waited to visit the horse to report. Liu Bei had already gone from another road and went to Jinyang.

Zhou Yu was shocked when he heard the news. He never thought that Liu Bei would see through his plan. If Liu Bei arrives in Jinyang and joins forces with Chengzhongguan and Zhang Er to break through Cao's army, his troops will no longer be superior, and he may be defeated by Liu Bei. Thinking of this, Zhou Yu didn't have time to ambush and led the generals to rise up and chase them.

Liu Bei really saw through Zhou Yu's plan. It was entirely accidental that he could avoid the ambush. Previously, Liu Bei asked Sili's bodyguard bureau to escort grain and fodder. Therefore, Liu Bei did not go straight to Jinyang as soon as he entered the border of Bingzhou, but took a detour to receive grain and fodder first. Unexpectedly, he avoided Zhou Yu's ambush.

Liu Bei escaped, but Liu Bei, Zhou Yu's pursuers, could not escape. Liu Bei's soldiers and horses who escorted food and fodder were not as fast as Zhou Yu's chasing soldiers in any case. Soon, a visit came to report to Liu Bei, and a pursuer came behind him.

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard the news and asked, "Who is behind him? Who is leading the army? What's the soldier?"

Tanma reported: "It is the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu, with tens of thousands of people under the banner of Zhou Yu."

Liu Bei panicked when he heard this. Most of his subordinates were old and weak, and there was no general leader. How could he resist Zhou Yu's elite? He asked Jian Yong, "Zhou Yu's pursuit of troops has arrived. What should I wait for?"

Jian Yong took out a map and said, "This is already in Xihe County, and I don't want to be from Jinyang. Further forward, there is a small county called Rao County. Your Majesty can quickly garrison in Rao City to stop Zhou Yu's soldiers.

When Liu Bei heard this, he ordered Jian Yong to lead the army to escort grain and grass first, and he personally led a thousand white troops and 10,000 strong soldiers to ambu. When the sergeant saw Liu Bei break up in person, he was all encouraged and morale was high.

However, Zhou Yu learned that Liu Bei had bypassed his ambush, so he urged the soldiers to catch up as soon as possible. The Eastern Wu generals either regarded Liu Bei as a soft persimmon or as a piece of fat meat, so everyone worked hard and tried their best to move forward. In this way, the Eastern Wu team dispersed and lined up a long snake array on the road. Run fast and rush to the front, and slow run back.

Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were appointed as pioneers by Zhou Yu and ran first in front of the Wu army. The second general walked to a mountain road and heard the shouts of killing on the side of the mountain. Liu Bei held two swords and led his elite soldiers to suddenly kill him.

Liu Bei, Sun Jian and Cao Cao, three heroes, have led the army to fight. Although it has been a long time without Liu Bei to go out in person, this does not mean that Liu Bei has forgotten how to fight. If you talk about one-on-one, the four Liu Bei are not the opponents of Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, but if you talk about inspiring soldiers, the eight Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai are not Liu Bei's opponents.

Now Liu Bei is already the king of a country. There is no need for Liu Bei to take action. As long as he immediately stands in front of the mountain with his sword, it is a personal expedition. How can his soldiers not work hard? They all fought bravely to kill Wu Jun.

Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were really suppressed by Liu Bei's momentum. They saw that the mountains were full of Northern Han people, and they had no time to count whether it was 10,000 or 50,000. In their thoughts, since Liu Bei personally led the army here, all the people must be ambushed here and have to compete with his family.

When the second general looked back, he saw that the soldiers behind him only chased Liu Bei. He had already lost his formation and scattered sparsely. He could not be the opponent of Liu Bei's 50,000 army at all. Before Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai started fighting, their momentum weakened by three points and hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the army.

The first echelon soldiers who could follow Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai to chase Liu Bei were all fast in the Eastern Wu army. Now the Lord has an order to retreat, and they are not slow to run back, leaving the Northern Han army with their backs.

Liu Bei himself didn't expect that the Eastern Wu soldiers and horses were so poor that he ran away without fighting. The ambush did not kill many Eastern Wu soldiers, which made Liu Bei very annoyed, but Liu Bei did not dare to chase too much. He was afraid of meeting Zhou Yu's army, so he only chased him for a while and then returned to chase Jian Yong.

Jiang Qin and Zhou Taiji met Zhou Yu to plead guilty first, and then complained that Liu Bei was going to ambush the army to fight against Dongwu. Zhou Yu looked behind them and did not see Liu Bei's soldiers chasing him, so he sighed, "You are waiting for Liu Bei's treacherous plan! If Liu Bei intends to fight a decisive battle, he must take advantage of the victory to attack our Chinese army. Now that Liu Bei doesn't come, he has no intention of decisive battle after he leads the army.

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai couldn't help blushing. The broken soldiers and horses are usually the same as the pioneer soldiers and horses, who are a small number of elites in the army. Although it is not necessary for the vanguard troops to win the defeat with the broken men and horses, the vanguard troops have lost their faces to escape without fighting.

Zhou Yu waved his hand to himself again when he saw the second general, and did not blame him. They are responsible for this matter, and Zhou Yu is also responsible for this matter. If Zhou Yu hadn't caught up with Liu Bei, the military array would not have been so scattered. Zhou Yu estimated that even if the second general fought with Liu Bei, he would not be able to get a better loss. It can be said that although Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai misjudged the situation, the decision to withdraw the troops was not wrong, and Zhou Yu had no intention of pursuing it.

Zhou Tai saw that Zhou Yu did not study deeply, so he asked, "Liu Bei's army and horses are ambushed in front of him. Do I wait to chase him or not?"

Zhou Yu thought for a moment and said, "Liu Bei will definitely not be ambushed in place, and the guard is also relaxed. At this time, it's time to pursue. Don't hesitate." After saying that, he ordered Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Chen Wu, Ling Tong, Pan Zhang and Dong Xi's six generals to lead Ma Bujing soldiers to pursue forward.

Liu Bei and Jian Yong have already reached Rao City at this time. This small county is not a strategic place. Zhou Yu and Sima Yi have not had time to send troops to capture, so they are still under Liu Bei's rule. The county magistrate saw Liu Bei's soldiers welcome him to Kaicheng at that time, but Liu Bei was not happy.

Raocheng is really too small. There is only one person on the wall, and there is only one gate, and it is very narrow. It takes 50,000 troops to carry food and grass into the city. Liu Bei doesn't know how long he can stay in such a small city. Moreover, Zhou Yu's army is behind him. If you enter the city quickly, I'm afraid there will be trouble.

"Quick! Hurry up! Hurry up!" Jian Yong kept urging the soldiers, and the county magistrate also mobilized the people to help push the cart. Unfortunately, the gate is only that big, and it is useless no matter how fast the soldiers are.

What Liu Bei was worried about still happened. Before all the people entered the city, Zhou Yu's pursuers arrived. In the face of the fierce Wu Bing this time, Liu Bei was not prepared at all. He knew that if he did not enter the city at this time, the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu might take the opportunity to enter the city. So Liu Bei immediately shouted loudly, "Quickly abandon the grain and grass in front of the city, and the people and horses quickly enter the city!"

After the Northern Han soldiers got the order, they all abandoned the grain and grass vehicles and entered the city lightly, and the speed suddenly accelerated a lot. In a moment, the soldiers entered the city, leaving only countless grain vehicles and Liu Bei's white army.

Liu Bei stood in the gate and looked at the rolling dust in the distance, and then looked at the grain and grass left outside the city. He couldn't help sighing and ordered the white army beside him to say, "ignite and burn the vehicles, and then enter the city!"

Baiqi's army did not hesitate to Liu Bei's order and quickly ignited most of the grain and grass carts gathered in one place. As for those scattered grain carts that were far away, they could not take care of. After igniting, the white army escorted Liu Bei into the city and closed the gate, and the blazing fire burned under the city.

Looking at the fire under the city, Liu Bei and Jian Yong's hearts were like dripping blood. These grains and fodder were painstakingly transported from Yuzhou, but they didn't expect to burn them with their own hands now. He was almost able to transport all the grain and grass into the city, but Liu Bei had to order to burn it. Even if his own people could not eat these grains and fodder, Liu Bei could not let Zhou Yu's Wu Jun enjoy the grain and fodder.

The hearts of Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and other generals and the Eastern Wu soldiers were also bleeding. If they catch up with Liu Bei earlier, these heavy food and grasses that turn into flames can become their trophies and salaries. Now not only the trophies are gone, but the rolling flames have intercepted them outside Rao City, making it impossible for them to attack the city.

What several Eastern Wu generals can do at this time is to make the soldiers rescue the vehicles that have not yet burned, as much food and fodder they can get, and minimize some losses. What Liu Bei could do was to order the soldiers to shoot arrows at the top of the city to prevent Wu Jun from getting the grain cart. The final result was that Wu Jun got several scattered grain trucks and also killed several lives.
