Chapter 495 Zhang Fei's Plan

"Report—"

The spy rushed over and the three leading men couldn't help but hold the war horses. If Dong Hu saw the man who was in charge of the wind, and saw the snake spear and the Qinglong Yanyue Sword held by the two behind, there was no need to speculate at all who knew who the three were, and they were the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang.

Liu Bei held back the war horse, and the spy had already rushed to the front.

"Report to the big leader, Chenggao does have many soldiers and horses, and the flag used is a long Dong flag."

When he heard the "long Dong flag", Liu Bei couldn't help but tighten his hand, regardless of the restlessness of the war horse under his crotch, staring at the spy with his eyes.

"Do you confirm that Dong Zhe is using a long flag?"

"Yes! It's a long Dong-shaped flag!"

The spy answered very surely, Guan Yu looked towards Xingyang with a worried look on his face, but Zhang Fei became anxious.

"Brother, what should I do now? Chenggao must have the little soldiers. Once the rebels cross the river, it will be dangerous. Why don't I take people to rush for a while?"

Guan Yu hurriedly grabbed Zhang Fei who was staring at him, fearing that he would really lead people to poke countless soldiers.

"Third brother should not be reckless..."

"Second brother, you will increase your ambitions! The Dong thief gathered a large number of troops in Chenggao, aren't he just waiting for Cao Cao to fall into the trap?"

Zhang Fei was dissatisfied with Guan Yu's obstruction and looked at Liu Bei who was frowning and said, "If Cao Cao crossed the river and noticed Dong Zhe's treacherous plan, he could still escape his life, but if he ran to Xingyang, he would not be able to escape even if he wanted to!"

"Brother, I think I just need to make a big move. As long as Cao Cao notices that there is an ambush, the Dong Zhei's plan will not succeed!"

Liu Bei looked back at the more than a thousand soldiers and horses behind him. He knew very well how many soldiers and horses there were in the Pojun camp stationed in Luoyang and Shanzi camp. He knew that although Sun Niu and Hu San were infantrymen, there were still some cavalry in the army. With just a few people like him, he could not fight head-on.

Seeing Zhang Fei's confident look, Liu Bei said in confusion: "Does third brother have a plan?"

Seeing Liu Bei, Guan Yu looked puzzled. Zhang Fei said proudly: "We have fewer soldiers, but Wang Kuang has soldiers? We just need to capture more people... and scare them! He said that Wang Kuang personally led 50,000 soldiers and horses to Luoyang. If Dong thief got the news, would he dare to ignore the way out?"

"hey-hey……"

"Let Wang Kuang scare Dong Zhuo, let's run around in front again, so that Xu Rong thinks that Wang Kuang leads his troops to attack his retreat, and the thieves are panicked. Perhaps Cao Cao can defeat Dong Zhuo!"

Zhang Fei looked proud and his words were a little confused. How could the Hanoi prefect Wang Kuang threaten Dong Zhuo and Xu Rong's retreat at the same time? Liu Bei, Guan Yu understood it.

Before, when Xu Rong led Luoyang Camp to cross Hulao Pass, Wang Kuang led his troops across the Yellow River and confronted Xu Rong, who was stationed in Aocang, Xingyang, and then stationed troops in Mengjin to threaten Luoyang.

Ao Cang is a transit station for grain entering Luoyang in Ji, Qing, Yan, Yu, Xu and other places. Simply put, Hebei and Shandong’s grain can be transported through the Yellow River. In Henan, east of Songshan, the grain from Lianghuai enters the Yellow River through the Bian Canal, and then enters the Luoyang Canal east along the Yellow River, and then transports the grain to Luoyang. Ao Cang is built on Aoshan at the intersection of the Bian Canal into the Yellow River. It is the most important grain transit station in Luoyang’s grain supply system.

Ao Cang belongs to Xingyang, Mengjin is 150 miles away from Xingyang, 70 miles west of Hulao Pass (Chenggao Pass), sandwiched between Wushejin (East) and Xiao Mengjin (West).

Ten miles west of Mengjin is Xiao Mengjin, and several miles south of Xiao Mengjin is Pingxian. From Pingxian, you can directly enter Luoyang through Mangshan.

Liu Guanzhang and others followed Ding Yuan in August last year. Lu Bu entered Luoyang. After Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan, the three brothers returned to Henei County with Zhang Yang, Yu Fuluo, Hu Chuquan and others, and then defeated Dong Mao and Huang Shao who had emerged from Shangdang County... None of these matters. What matters is that the three brothers knew how many soldiers and horses there were in Luoyang, and the number of soldiers and horses stationed in Henan County.

A large number of "long flags" soldiers appeared in Chenggao, and the three brothers realized that Luoyang was empty at this time. Even if some soldiers were left behind, it would be difficult to deal with the "50,000 Hanoi, Mount Tai" soldiers. Dong Zhuo must have returned to help.

In order to avoid Wang Kuang crossing the river and directly attacking Luoyang, Dong Zhuo must return to the rescue. So the question arises, should Xu Rong also be asked to return to the rescue of Luoyang?

In fact, it is not needed. Zhang Fei said "50,000" soldiers and horses. In fact, Wang Kuang had only 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses, and nearly half of the soldiers were Taishan soldiers recruited by Wang Kuang from his hometown. Mengjin was only a hundred miles away from Luoyang. It was impossible for Dong Zhuo to know the number of soldiers and horses in Wang Kuang's hands. Even the "50,000" soldiers and horses, Sun Niu and Hu San's troops were enough to resist.

In other words, even if Dong Zhuo led his troops back to Luoyang, Xu Rong still brought 15,000 Luoyang camps to fight with Cao Cao. However, Wang Kuang had confronted Xu Rong in Xingyang before. Once the "Hanoi Army" was found in Xingyang, it means that Xu Rong, who was fighting with Cao Cao, would face the attack of the "Hanoi Army" in the rear.

Dong Zhuo was driving the people to move the capital, and he would never dare to underestimate Wang Kuang's besiege of Luoyang, and Xu Rong would never dare to face the situation of attacking from the front and back.

True and false, false, false and real.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu did not expect Zhang Fei to think of such a brilliant plan, and the two looked at each other...

"Go to Mengjin immediately and tell the prefect Wang that you must let the prefect Wang deal with it carefully!"

Liu Bei looked at the spy with a serious face, and the spy clasped his fists.

"promise!"

The spy left, and Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei with a serious look on his face.

"Third brother, I will leave all the brothers riding horses to you. Be sure to spread the news that Wang Taishou attacked Luoyang into Dong Zhe's ears as soon as possible!"

Zhang Fei was overjoyed and clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, brother, I'll go and catch people now!"

Gu Yan

After saying that, Zhang Fei held up the snake spear and looked behind him.

"Brother riding a horse, follow me to kill the thief-"

After saying that, Zhang Fei kicked the horse and ran towards Chenggao. Seeing him like this, Liu Bei and Guan Yu became worried, but at this time they had no good methods. They couldn't sit idly by and watch Dong Zhuo hunt Cao Cao, right?

Seeing Zhang Fei leaving, Liu Bei said seriously: "The second brother and his brothers hide for the time being. Only when Dong Zhe left can we alarm Xu Rong."

Guan Yu opened his mouth, and finally Zheng Keyou was still the last one.

"Don't worry, brother, Dong Zhe can't find it!"

"Um."

Liu Bei nodded silently, looking towards the direction of the Bian River but was a little worried.

"I hope General Bao and General Cao can be more cautious..."

Liu Bei was worried that it was a coincidence that the spy discovered Dong Zhuo's trap. After Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan, the three of them retreated to Hanoi and took the opportunity to obtain some soldiers. However, they later fought with Dong Buyi Cong in Shangdang. Although they killed Huang Shao, the general under Dong Hu, they also suffered heavy losses. Not only did the three brothers' soldiers and horses suffer heavy casualties, but most of the Huns also suffered heavy casualties. Yu Fuluo and Huchuquan brothers had to leave Hanoi County and avoid fighting with Dong Buyi Cong in Shangdang County again.

There were only two thousand people left in the remnants of the Xiongnu tribe and were unwilling to fight with Dong Buyi again. The Yu Fuluo and Huchuquan brothers defected to Liu Fu, the governor of Jizhou. Zhang Fei was not happy with Wang Kuang, and Liu Bei had to return to Youzhou. However, when he was passing through Zhongshan Kingdom, he met the big tycoon Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping. With the support of the two, Liu Guan and Zhang actually obtained more than a thousand troops.

I don’t know where Cao Cao got the edict. Not only did he send the edict to Yuan Shao, but he also wrote a proclamation to eliminate Dong Zhuo. Now, Yuan Shao became the leader in the attack on Dong, and all the princes also brought their troops to join the Lanzao County.

After Yuan Shao escaped from Luoyang, he ran to Bohai County. After several aides of the Prime Minister's Office, Dong Zhuo also wanted to ease relations with the Yuan family of the fourth generation and three dukes, so he let Yuan Shao be the prefect of Bohai County. Bohai County is also under the name of Liu Fu, the governor of Jizhou, and the journey is farther from Luoyang. Even if Yuan Shao recruited tens of thousands of soldiers in Bohai County, he could not supply enough food and grass. He had to obtain food from Jizhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou, otherwise the soldiers would go hungry.

Whether it was the subordinate relationship between the upper and lower levels, or the issue of military, horses, food and supplies, Yuan Shao had to obtain the support of Liu Fu, the governor of Jizhou, so he led his troops to Yecheng. After obtaining the promise and support of Liu Fu, the governor of the prefecture, he led his troops to join the princes of Henei, and then went to the Xinzao County where all the princes gathered together, and officially became the leader of all the princes.

Yuan Shao was originally lying in Hanoi with Wang Kuang, and the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang entered Hanoi from Zhongshan. After they ran to the place, Yuan Shao had already entered the county of Lanzao, so Liu, Guan and Zhang went east from Mengjin to prepare to meet with various princes. At this time, it was Dong Zhuo and Xu Rong who arrested the people everywhere and moved the capital. Not all the people could not escape, and a considerable number of the people fled, especially those outside the Eight Passes of Luoyang. Chenggao County is a place outside the Eight Passes. Some people either hid in the mountains and forests or escaped the Yellow River north...

It is precisely where Dong Zhuo's soldiers were exposed by these fleeing people!

When Liu Bei learned that Chenggao had a large number of soldiers and horses, he was shocked and asked the spies to go and investigate. Sure enough, he found that there were large numbers of soldiers and horses hidden in the mountains and forests. As for why it was confirmed that it was Dongbuyi... Among all the soldiers in the world, only Dongbuyi used a ribbon-shaped flag.

The cavalry is a hundred miles away from the Bian River. It takes one day to travel in an emergency, and the infantry will take two days to travel in an emergency. However, Dong Zhuo is moving the capital. After passing the Bian River, Cao Cao will not be able to get any food and supplies, so he has to carry his own food and grass, which will take three to five days.

It takes three to five days from the Lanzao County to the Bian River. After arriving at the Bian River, it has to use a boat to cross the river. However, there are no ships on the river surface at this time, and Cao Cao can only solve the problem of crossing the river by himself.

Cao Cao was looking for a boat to cross the river, and Dong Zhuo was quietly waiting for the prey to come to his door, but he did not expect that a group of panicked people came over and brought unexpected news...

"Little man... what the villain said is... it is true..."

"Bang!"

Dong Zhuo suddenly stood up, looked at the old man who had already wet his pants with anger, and then glanced at more than a dozen men, women, and children who were trembling...

"fifty thousand……"

"Where did the dog thief King Kuang get the 50,000 soldiers--"

Dong Zhuo was furious and kicked the table over.

"General... General! Please spare your life... The villain dares not deceive the general... The villain really... he really saw countless ships crossing the river... General! Please spare your life..."

"asshole--"

"Dang!"

Dong Zhuo was furious and drew his sword to kill the old man. At this moment, Li Ru hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"Stop the anger of the Prime Minister!"

Li Ru stepped forward step by step and whispered in the scarlet-eyed Dong Zhuo's ear.

"These people are just farmers and cannot know the number of thieves, but they can come and tell them that they should be loyal people. If they are killed, who will come and be loyal in the future?"

After saying that, Li Ru took a step back, and Dong Zhuo slowly retracted the machete to his waist, suppressing the anger in his chest.

"If it is true as you said... we will reward you with a hundred golds. If you dare to deceive us... we will peel you alive!"

"Take it down!"

Dong Zhuo waved his hand and a group of soldiers like wolves and tigers rushed in, throwing more than ten people out of the tent in just a few seconds.
