Chapter 86
At a loss, Zhang Yun suddenly woke up.
It's Deng Mu, Liu Bei's military advisor's plan!
From the beginning, Deng Mu expected that he was pretending to surrender and would not sincerely submit to Liu Bei.
So Liu Bei and Deng Mu, the chief ministers, conspired to stage a play, so that he accidentally heard the secret of Wenpin's food transportation.
This scene also made him mistakenly believe that Liu Bei had brought 300,000 grains, but he did not have enough troops to defend the grain camp.
He even misunderstood that Liu Bei was arrogant and arrogant, and Huang Zu did not dare to lead his army in a sneak attack, so the grain camp was unprepared.
After the play was over, he was allowed to go to Xiakou in the name of persuading the Huang family to surrender.
Using his words, Huang Zu was lured to come for a sneak attack, and finally fell into the trap set by Liu Bei!
"Every move and every thought I make is actually part of Deng Mu’s deduction?"
"I'm like a clown, being played by Deng Mu?"
Zhang Yun's mind was buzzing, and his face was filled with extreme horror and shame.
At this moment,
Deng Mu took a step forward on his horse and said loudly:
"Huang Zu, Liu Biao is dead. I know you want to be the lord of Jingzhou."
"It's a pity that you don't know your own abilities. Do you think you can win against my lord?"
"Now surrender, my lord is merciful and will spare your death and give you a rich and prosperous life."
"If you still resist, today will be your memorial day next year!"
The contemptuous ultimatum echoed in the night sky.
Huang Zu's heart froze, and unbelievable horror filled his eyes.
"This young man from a humble family in Xinye not only plotted against me, but he also saw through my desire to become the Lord of Jingzhou?"
"Is there such a scheming person in Jingzhou?"
Huang Zu was extremely shocked. At this moment, he finally understood why Liu Biao, who held a hundred thousand"593" troops, lost to Liu Bei, a grassroots fellow clan member.
Liu Bei, a strategist, was ten times more resourceful than Kuai Yue!
Liu Biao Yan Can he be undefeated?
In addition to being shocked, Huang Zu was even angered by Deng Mu's threats.
"How can I, Huang Zu, be the prince and prince for generations, bow down to a man who weaves mats and sells shoes?"
"Liu Bei, you want to be my lord, are you worthy? Huang
Zu uttered wild words with contempt on his face, then turned his horse around and shouted:
"The whole army obeyed the order and quickly retreated to Xiakou.——"
The seven thousand Jiangxia soldiers, like frightened sheep, turned around and tried to escape.
It's just that they rushed too fast, crowded together, and suddenly turned around in such a hurry. Instead, they pushed each other and became a mess.
"My lord, you have the heart of a polite and virtuous corporal, but it's a pity that people think of themselves as noble and regard you as a worthless person."
"Then let him see how sharp your sword is, my lord."
Deng Mu's eyes were as murderous as swords, and he turned his gaze to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei's face was as iron as steel, he drew his sword in his hand, and shouted:
"Send the order, all the ambush troops come out, kill!"
The sound of war drums suddenly started again.
A column of beacon smoke rose above the Han River.
In the night sky, countless sharp arrows rose into the sky, roaring from all directions.
Screams suddenly rose, and blood flew everywhere.
Hundreds of Jiangxia soldiers were nailed to the ground in pieces.
After a round of arrow rain, Jiangxia soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the morale of the army was instantly shattered.
Liu Bei made another move with his long sword.
Wei Yan, Wenpin and other generals took control of their headquarters. The ambush troops rushed towards the fleeing enemy troops like a tide. They were densely packed and numbered in the tens of thousands.
Huang Zu's eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at the overwhelming Liu army.
It was clear that Liu Bei's troops who had entered Xiakou did not number more than 10,000. Why did so many soldiers and horses suddenly appear?
Of course he didn't know that Wenpin's so-called grain ship contained nothing at all.
It was Xiangyang's subdued army belonging to Guan Yu. At Deng Mu's suggestion, , mobilized by Liu Bei's secret order, hidden in grain ships and transported to Xiakou.
This elite army of nearly 5,000 people, plus Wenpin's 3,000 naval troops, and 3,000 soldiers transferred from the Yangtze River water camp in the south.
More than 10,000 Liu troops were more than enough to take down less than 5,000 Jiang Xia soldiers.
In an instant, Liu Jun crashed into them.
The blade ruthlessly slashed at the collapsed Jiang Xia soldiers, frantically harvesting their heads.
Blood flowed into a river, Ghosts cry and wolves howl!
Huang Zu no longer cares about his soldiers and just concentrates on escaping.
Under the protection of his personal guards, he forcibly breaks out of a bloody road and is about to break out of the grain camp.
"Big-eared thief, you are still missing a move after all!"
"If you ambush a group of people outside the camp, how can I escape and ascend to heaven!"
Huang Zu breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, a loud thunder-like sound suddenly sounded in the night sky.
In the night ahead, countless iron cavalry flowed wildly, as if they were rushing out of the underworld. The Netherworld Cavalry came with the force of the earth shattering.
A flag with the word"Zhang" flying dazzlingly in the firelight.
Zhang Liao!
It was the wolf cavalry commanded by Zhang Liao who came to kill.
Huang Zu changed his face in shock, and the sarcasm on his face instantly disappeared. He was so frightened.
He never expected that his crow's mouth would actually attract Bingzhou wolf riders!
Liu Bei was actually outside the camp, and he even ambushed a killer.
"Big-eared thief, I, Huang Zu, will never die in your hands today!"
"Never——"
Huang Zu gritted his teeth and let out a mournful scream. He rode his horse and drew his sword, and rushed towards the wolf rider.
He had no choice but to break through the wolf cavalry blockage and fight his way back to Xiakou in order to have a chance of survival.
Unfortunately, it's just an egg hitting a stone.
The wolf cavalry rolled in, like a torrent of steel, and rolled over the frightened Jiang Xia soldiers.
Wails, screams, and cries suddenly began.
More than a thousand Jiangxia soldiers were like paper, and they were swept away in an instant.
"Zhang Liao is here!"
"Huang Zu’s dog thief, where can you escape!"
A thunderous shout rang out.
Huang Zu, who was wielding the sword crazily, was shocked to the point where his eardrums were about to break. He suddenly raised his head and glanced in the direction facing him.
Zhang Liao had already dragged the long sword in his hand and rolled towards him on the bloody road.
"I can even kill Sun Jian, who do you think you are?"
Huang Zu roared, rode his horse and brandished his sword, and charged towards Zhang Liao.
The lucky chance that he shot Sun Jian back then gave him the confidence to surpass his own strength, making him claim to be a famous general in the world. Not to mention Zhang Liao, even Zhang Liao His old master Lu Bu was here, how could he be his opponent! With such confidence in his heart, Huang Zu held out his long sword and slashed at Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao let out a low roar, his tiger arms moved like the wind, and his long sword tilted like chasing the wind and the moon. He slashed out.
The sword was as fast as lightning, but it struck first and then behind.
A cold light passed through Huang Zhong's sword and slashed horizontally towards his waist.
"What a fast knife!"
"How can this be——"
Huang Zu was shocked and shocked. He never expected that Zhang Liao's sword style could be so fast.
It's too late
"Click!"
The sword slashed through.
Huang Zu's waist was chopped into two pieces, and the two pieces of his body suddenly fell under the horse.
The screams rang out in the blood mist.
"Even Sun Jian is no match for me, how could I die in his hands?"
"This is impossible, impossible——"
Huang Zu, who was still breathing, screamed in pain and anger, dragging half of his body and crawling forward.
Zhang Liao looked down at the broken body and said coldly:
"The military advisor is indeed right. You just shot Sun Jian by chance, but in fact you were a person in name only."
"Huang Zu, with your little ability, you still want to replace Liu Biao as the lord of Jingzhou?"
"Do not overestimate your own capabilities."
Zhang Liao snorted disdainfully, and slashed out with the bloody knife again.
Huang Zu's screams suddenly stopped, and his head fell to the ground.
Zhang Liao cut off his head, raised it high, and shouted sternly:
"Huang Zu has been beheaded by me, and his head is here!"
"There is no need for you to fight for a dead man anymore, why don't you put down your weapons and surrender!"
The remaining Jiangxia soldiers saw Huang Zu beheaded, and their remaining will to resist collapsed. The morale of the soldiers collapsed, and they fell to their knees in groups, begging to surrender.
The sound of killing gradually fell silent, and this ambush battle , finally came to an end.
The generals withdrew their troops and came to report the results of the battle.
More than half of the more than 5,000 Jiangxia soldiers were killed or wounded, and the rest all surrendered.
Except for the 3,000 soldiers and horses commanded by Su Fei, almost all of them surrendered. The army was annihilated
"My lord, the last general was ordered to intercept the enemy troops outside the camp and has now killed Huang Zu!"
"Huang Zu’s head is here!"
Zhang Liao got off his horse and offered the bloody head.
Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Huang Zu failed to escape back to Xiakou, and the remaining three thousand soldiers and horses were leaderless. Naturally, The morale of the army is broken and vulnerable.
Xiakou City can be easily destroyed with just a light kick.
"This person was able to kill Sun Jian. Although luck was involved, he was still a person."
"Collect his body and bury it on the spot."
After Liu Bei praised Zhang Liao, he waved his hand and ordered to give Huang Zu a face.
Then he pointed his riding whip eastward and said boldly:
"All the officers and soldiers in the army listen to the order and follow me to take Xiakou!"
Thousands of victorious Liu Jun soldiers, armed with unfulfilled murderous intentions, rushed towards Xiakou City in a mighty manner.
At this time, at the west gate of Xiakou.
Su Fei was looking westward, anxiously staring at Liu Jun. direction.
The sound of fighting continued for most of the night, representing a fierce night attack battle, which was going on 0.........
The outcome is unknown at the moment.
Su Fei's mood was extremely complicated.
On the one hand, he was inclined to submit to Liu Bei in his heart, and naturally he did not want to see Liu Bei's food and grass burned by Huang Zu.
On the one hand, he is Huang Zu's general, where his responsibilities and loyalty lies, and he has to hope that Huang Zu will win.
In this entanglement, the sound of killing gradually fell silent, and the sky dawned
"Look, there are people approaching!"
The soldiers guarding the city suddenly shouted.
Su Fei immediately became nervous, widened his eyes, and looked towards the west of the city.
Sure enough, there was a huge crowd of people coming in force.[]
When he saw the flag of the incoming army clearly, he immediately took a breath of cold air and froze.
Liu Jun's battle flag.
It was Liu Bei who commanded the army and approached Xiakou!
This also means that Huang Zu's sneak attack failed, and his entire army of five thousand troops seemed to be wiped out!
On top of the city, more than three thousand Jiangxia defenders were all screaming in fear.
In the chaos, Liu Jun was arrayed under the city.
Zhang Liao rode his horse straight to the city, picked up Huang Zu's golden helmet, and said sternly:
"Huang Zu fell into the ambush plan of our military advisor. Five thousand men and horses were killed by my lord. He has been killed by our formation."
"My lord has an order, as long as you open the city and surrender immediately, let the past be forgotten!"
On the top of the city, there was a commotion.
The three thousand defenders fell into a panic.
Su Fei was lost for a long time, looked up to the sky and sighed bitterly:
"General Huang, if you had listened to my advice earlier, why would you have ended up in such a state of death and fame..."
After feeling regretful,
Su Fei waved his hand feebly:"Open the city gate and surrender to Liu Xuande."
The city gate opened and the suspension bridge fell.
The yellow flag also lowered slowly under the morning light.
Xiakou City, the last important town in Jingzhou, announced that it had changed hands.
At this point, the entire territory of Jingzhou has been owned by Liu Bei.
The sky is bright At that time,
Liu Bei had already climbed onto the tower to accept the audience of Su Fei and other surrendered generals. Zhang Yun, who had just comforted the surrendered generals and was covered with wounds, was dragged up to the tower and knelt at the feet of Liu Bei.
"Zhang Yun, what else do you have to say?"
Liu Bei looked down at the man who was pretending to surrender, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Lord, spare your life, if you are guilty, you should die!"
"It's just that Yun was also forced by Huang Zu, but he couldn't help himself."
"Please be magnanimous, Lord, and give Yun a chance to make amends.~~"
Zhang Yun begged in tears, imagining that Liu Bei was kind and would show mercy to him. how can that be possible.
Today's Old Liu, under the subtle influence of Deng Mu, is no longer the good old man who only knew the royal way.
He already knows when to act kingly and when to act domineering
"I have given you the opportunity, and I told you again and again before leaving to persuade Huang Zu to surrender."
"But you have repeatedly been unfaithful and encouraged Huang Zu to attack my grain camp in an attempt to kill me."
"Zhang Yun, why should I spare your life?"1.4
Liu Bei's face was as solid as iron and he sternly rebuked Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun was speechless, his face was full of shame, and he didn't know how to defend himself.
Liu Bei didn't waste any more nonsense with him, waved his hand and shouted:
"Drag this thief down and kill him to comfort the spirits of the soldiers who died in this battle!"
The guards on the left and right swarmed forward.
Zhang Yun turned pale with horror, sobbing and wailing:Lord, please spare my life and give me another chance.——"
The howling stopped suddenly, and a person rolled down the city
"If it weren't for the seamless layout of the military adviser, how could Bei have conquered Xiakou so easily?"
"Liu Bei really learned another lesson from the military counselor's tricks."
Liu Bei faced Deng Mu and bowed to Deng Mu in a teacher's manner.
"The master has destroyed the animal husbandry, and the animal husbandry cannot bear it."
Deng Mu hurriedly helped Liu Bei up, but looked in the direction of Chai Sang:
"If that little bully knew that he had made wedding clothes for us and suffered such a big loss, he would never let it go."
"I predict that when he learns that Xiakou has fallen, he will raise an army that will overwhelm the country to fight."
"My lord, taking Jingzhou is nothing. The next battle with Sun Ce is the battle of life and death that will determine the ownership of half of Jiangnan!"
Liu Bei just relaxed a little, but immediately became tense again.
To put it bluntly, Liu Biao's Jingzhou relied on the support of the Kuai and Cai tribes, and he got it with nothing.
Sun Ce's Jiangdong, however, used real swords and spears. It was knocked down hard with his fist.
Sun Ce was far more capable than Liu Biao
"The military advisor said that Sun Ce is our real enemy."
Liu Bei nodded heavily, and then said boldly:
"Send an order to take all the wine and meat from Xiakou Kufu to reward the soldiers of the three armies."
"Tell the soldiers to recharge their batteries, cheer up, and prepare to face the little overlord from Jiangdong!".
