Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 399 Chapter : The Battle of Fate

Under nightfall, on the mountainside of a high mountain south of the military camp at Baqiu Fukou, Cao Cao, wearing armor and holding a Heavenly Sword at his waist, squatted down and grabbed the messy flags on the ground. A wry smile appeared on his mouth, and his eyes were filled with tears. Feeling lost.

Behind him were two hundred tiger troops, and around him were Taoist boys trembling on the ground, wearing Taoist robes. In front of him was the Seven-Star Altar built by Zhuge Liang to use the practice of borrowing the east wind.

When the southeast wind started blowing, he rushed up the mountain with two hundred tiger troops, with no other purpose than to find Zhuge Liang.

The original intention is the same as Zhou Gongjin in the novel, but the purpose is completely different.

The southeast wind blows, which confirms Zhuge Liang's statement that he can really borrow the east wind through tricks. This is a very scary thing. It means that in the world, except for Lin Mo, a monster who knows the magic of Liuding and Liujia, Liu Bei There is also a genius in the military camp who is unparalleled in scheming and can mobilize the forces of heaven and earth.

After this battle, Lu Lin was defeated. Whether Cao Cao would target the Central Plains or Jingnan has yet to be determined, but with such a formidable genius hidden beside his bed, Cao Cao would probably lose sleep.

But he brought people here not to kill Zhuge Liang, but to invite him back. Anyway, now that Liu Guan and Zhang are gone, no one can save him.

As for the fact that he is willing to recognize the master after being invited back, it is of course excellent. Even if he is unwilling, it cannot be held in Liu Bei's hands. Such a person is too terrible.

But he didn't expect that even if he rushed to the Seven Star Altar to arrest him immediately, Cao Cao would miss him in the end.

I heard from the Taoist boy next to me that the gentleman had already finished casting the spell before the east wind had risen. Then he went down the mountain from the path and asked them to continue walking around the high altar and walk the Seven Star Steps.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. As long as Zixiu can succeed, Zhuge Liang, you can't escape." Cao Cao stood up again and let out a long breath. There is still a chance on the other side of Xiling City.

If Cao Ang and Cao Ren can kill Liu Guan and Zhang, then Zhuge Liang will not be able to escape forever even if he escapes for a while.

It sounds unbelievable for Cao Ang and Cao Ren to take down Liu Guan and Zhang. After all, although Cao Ren is brave and good at fighting, there is a big gap compared with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but Cao Cao is very confident in this.

After all, in their own plan, the two of them led the cavalry to suddenly attack when Liu Bei was exhausted after the fight with Huang Zu. By then, all their dignity would be lost.

"My lord! It's a disaster, my lord!"

Just when we were looking forward to the beautiful time, a sergeant ran over in panic and gasped: "My lord, it's not good. The navy that went to Xiakou to attack the stronghold was defeated miserably. General Cai Mao rushed back with the remnants. Please hurry up." Go and have a look!”

"What did you say?"

Cao Cao felt as if he had been shocked by electricity. A biting chill spread from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. He immediately grabbed the sergeant and roared: "The southeast wind has risen, how could they be defeated miserably!"

"I don't know. I just heard that a heavy ambush was set up in the water village in Xiakou, and our army suffered a disastrous defeat, so I came here to report it to my lord."

"Ah~" Cao Cao's veins popped out and he threw the general aside and ran quickly.

In the original world line, even later generations also like to use Liu Bei as a late bloomer. When encouraging people around him during his trough period, he would also use the analogy of Gou Jian, who worked hard and endured gall, and the emperor's uncle who ascended the throne in 61. From this point of view, they all have extremely special qualities. A strong heart.

But the fact is that Cao Cao's heart is equally strong. The same monstrous force was defeated. Yuan Shao could not afford to fall ill, but Cao Cao could still smile at life. This is the difference.

But at this moment, he also panicked.

There were many disastrous defeats in the past, but after all, they did not hurt the lifeblood. Even if they lost the two states of the Central Plains, they still had the Kingdom of Abundance and the Heart of the World in hand. Even if it was the Chibi defeat in history, the foundation still remained.

But this time it was different. The naval defeat was just before his eyes. He had already spent all his capital on Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Xu Chu, and even his own son.

With Lin Yunwen's urinary temperament, there was no way he could escape his schemes.

At this time, Cao Cao was moving as fast as the wind, and he had no time to think about and be shocked by what kind of magical means Lin Mo could use this time to defeat the plan thought up by the coalition forces so easily. He just wanted to rush back quickly, maybe even There is a slight possibility of reducing losses.

If all these people are killed, it will not only hurt the lifeblood, but also the end of an era belonging to the Cao family, and even the end of troubled times.

At this time, a lone boat was floating on the Xiangjiang River.

In the cabin, Zhuge Liang was playing the piano alone, singing a song called "High Mountains and Flowing Waters". Where can I find a close friend at the end of the world? What a good song, what a good song.

He stood up and walked to the stern of the ship, looking back in the direction of Baqiu, which was also the direction of the coalition garrison. Tonight was destined to be a battle that would go down in history. Everything had been determined. Lu Lin's defeat was irreversible.

However, if Lu Lin loses, will the world be at peace?

Obviously not. Zhuge Liang still has many things to consider. For example, what he did at the Seven-Star Altar is to pave the way for subsequent self-protection. For example, the Navy has also given a perfect explanation. What they have to do after breaking through the Xiakou Stronghold is Chase all the way towards Xiling City, and finally complete the task of joining forces with Liu Bei.

At that time, not only would they have received abundant supplies of food, grass, and ordnance, but Jiangxia would also be back in their hands. Then, Lu Lin, whose vitality was severely damaged, might no longer be Liu Bei's strong enemy, at least not for the time being.

Therefore, in addition to using the east wind to scare Cao Cao, he also needed to do one more thing. He quickly returned to Changsha to deploy troops and horses in the four counties. After all, according to the agreement, after Liu Bei captured Xiling City, he would take advantage of Cao Cao and Sun Ce's busy schedule. At that time, the grain and grass were transported back to facilitate the recruitment of troops.

So far, everything seems to be without any problems.

"Lin Yunwen, then, how should you clean up this mess? Sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, or drive the wolves and dogs." Zhuge Liang, who was in a good mood, even began to take Lin Mo's place and think about what to do next.

This is not because he is getting carried away, on the contrary, this is a side confirmation that Wu Hou is very hands-on in everything. He needs to think about what everyone may do at every step. Only in this way can Liu Bei be able to make Liu Bei the winner in the four-point world situation that will be finally re-established in the future. Never fall behind others.

The fire in Xiakou burned so fiercely that it lit up the sky red, but even so, the red clouds could not be seen from Jieshou who was dozens of miles away.

However, Liu Bei, who had ambushed here early, was full of confidence. Even though Zhuge Liang was slapped in the face about borrowing arrows from a straw boat, the east wind tonight was actually borrowed by Kong Ming, and there was no suspense in this battle.

Zhang Fei was simpler in mind. Although he was pacing back and forth, he couldn't sit still. He just desperately hoped that the person coming this way was Lu Bu and not someone else.

In Zhang Fei's opinion, Liu Bei's panic in the north and south during those years was all thanks to Lu Bu. If he hadn't caused the sneak attack on Xuzhou, wouldn't the huge Xuzhou be enough to support his brother's development?

If he hadn't attacked Xuzhou secretly, how could Lin Mo have become his son-in-law in the end?

The situation in this world would not have become what it is today.

Zhang Fei, who became angrier as he thought about it, muttered: "Slave with the third surname, let's see if I don't give you a few bloody holes tonight!"

Guan Yu was a little confused. Even though he was arrogant and looked down on Zhuge Liang's showy temper in the past, he was convinced by An Feng's three tips in the battle. He felt a little depressed because Huang She came over before. He went looking for it.

After inquiring, I learned a heart-wrenching news. Yan Liangwen Chou didn't come, so the two bidders could survive for a while again.

Now he has slowly changed the habit of stroking his beard that he had developed over the years, but the scar left by Yan Liangwen Chou in his heart reminds him every day like a nightmare.

He decided that after catching Yan Liang and Wen Chou, he would have to shave them both first and then kill them, otherwise it would be hard to get rid of the hatred in his heart. "Why haven't the defeated soldiers of these three surnamed slaves arrived yet?" Zhang Fei began to get anxious, and the eight-foot-long snake spear in his hand seemed to be sizzling.

"Third brother, be patient."

Liu Bei smiled calmly, "Even if their defeated troops arrive, we can't take action immediately."

"Why is this?" Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei blankly.

"First, we need to let go of the leading escape team first and let them go back to Xiling City to paralyze Hao Zhao and Guo Huai in the city. This will make it easier for our army to sneak into the city after they put on Lu Lin Army's armor.

After all, there are hundreds of thousands of troops on the other side of Xiakou. Even if they are defeated, it will take time. The defeated soldiers must be behind when they flee. If they cannot be killed in one blow, the remaining soldiers will be in a desperate situation and will probably fight back. This is the beauty of surrounding three and missing one. "

After saying that, he looked at Zhang Fei with a meaningful look in his eyes, "How about it, brother, you know how to fight, right?"

After all, they have been brothers for many years. Of course, Zhang Fei didn't need to praise Liu Bei. He just nodded dully. Anyway, he had gotten used to it over the years. He could do whatever his brother told him to do.

The night is not quiet, the cold wind howls, but no one feels cold. Everyone is working hard tonight to achieve success. Some people hope that after taking Jiangxia, they will have the strength to march into the Central Plains;

Some people dreamed of assassinating the slaves of the three surnames; others dreamed that the meritorious service they earned after the First World War would be enough for their wives and children to live a lifetime of food and clothing.

As Liu Bei expected, the scouts did not report back, but defeated soldiers began to run past in panic. They were basically cavalry, which was normal. Only cavalry could run so fast.

But there were not many of them, scattered around, maybe one or two thousand, and the queue was very long. This was obviously not the person Liu Bei wanted to wait for. He closed his eyes patiently and waited quietly.

I don’t know how long it took, but finally I heard a call.

"Report! Lord!"

In the distance, a scout dismounted and ran over quickly, kneeling on one knee and saying, "Lord, a large group of defeated troops have arrived. They are already five miles away and will soon enter the post road!"

"How many people are coming? Are there any slaves with three surnames?" Zhang Fei asked impatiently.

"This subordinate doesn't know that there are only a few of these defeated soldiers carrying the army. With the night covering their eyes, we can't detect them. However, there are a lot of people coming. Judging from the movement, they are definitely less than 20,000!"

Twenty thousand?

Hearing this, Liu Guan and Zhang's eyes lit up. This number was already enough.

Although Lu Lin's army numbered more than 400,000, there was a fire in Xiakou, and most of those navy troops would not survive. In addition, Cai Hao and Zhang Yun's 50,000 troops pushed through after landing, and Lu Lin's army A bloody battle would definitely involve a lot of damage. In the end, it is very likely that Lin Mo, who has an extraordinary mind as Cao Cao said, would not act as usual and take the lead.

After comprehensive analysis, there will indeed not be too many defeated troops on this road, not to mention, there may be people following them, but Liu Bei does not intend to wait any longer, and his appetite is not that big. This time the Stud is so eighty. Thousands of people.

It is not an exaggeration to say that eight thousand people who are prepared to fight can be confident when facing twenty thousand people who are running for their lives in a hurry.

"Hahaha, they succeeded, brother, it's our turn, right?" Zhang Fei grinned.

Liu Bei wanted to calm down, but excitement overflowed on his face. He breathed a little faster. He nodded and looked at Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, "Second brother and third brother, when the battle starts later, the front army will release rockets." Light the reeds and cut off the path forward, and the soldiers at the rear will wave flags and shout to scare away the deserters behind. Then the three of us will attack in one go and kill all these defeated soldiers!"

"Brother, don't worry. Didn't my husband explain this before we set off? I remember it all."

"Yide, this time is different from the past. Although Kong Ming also said that Lu Bu and Lin Mo are unlikely to take this path, they should not be afraid of ten thousand, but be afraid of the worst. If Lu Lin is among the twenty thousand troops, then what will happen to them? There must be other heroes, and you two can't just fight and chase them." This is what Liu Bei is most worried about.

Not to mention how good Lu Bu is in fighting, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Ma Chao are all fierce generals who are said to be invincible in the world. If the two sides open up and fight, there is no way they can get along with each other.

The battle at the foot of Yang'an Mountain has been clearly seen. Zhao Yun is no longer what he used to be. He can deal with himself and Zhang Fei on his own, and his fighting power is unparalleled.

Zhang Liao's bravery is obvious to all. They had seen it when they were in Xuzhou. Otherwise, would they have been able to defeat 30,000 from 800 in the Guangling battle?

As for Ma Chao, there are rumors that he is as brave as Zhao Yun. Although he has not fought against him, someone who can get to this position in the Lulin military camp with so many fierce generals is definitely not weak.

What's more, he also has the Zhen camp and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry under his command. These are all elites who can equal one to a hundred.

Of course, Liu Bei knew that in a battle of this level, it was impossible for Lu Lin to really gather all the elite soldiers together. Who could care so much when running away.

But when it’s time to remind, you still have to remind.

Soon, the defeated soldiers entered the ambush range. As expected, these people were completely unorganized. The cavalry ran wildly without waiting for the sergeants in the rear. The infantry were crowded and afraid that they would run slower and could even be heard. There was a clanging sound of helmets and armor being discarded.

Okay, okay, Liu Bei took a deep breath, "Do it!"

After giving the order, the soldier behind him ignited a rocket and shot it upward.

This was a signal arrow. The front-line sergeants who received the signal immediately took action. They took out the tinder they carried and threw it into the deep pit in front of them. In an instant, the line of fire spread in the pit like a long dragon.

Through the firelight, three rows of crossbowmen took out arrows in unison. The arrows ignited as soon as they touched the flames, and then were thrown out at a 45-degree angle.

As the rockets fell, the dead grass and reeds accumulated in front of them had been ignited before the cavalry at the forefront could rush through the post road.

Liu Jun seemed to think that the fire was not burning brightly enough, and someone threw a jar filled with kerosene into the fire. The flames jumped high, and the war horse was frightened and raised its front hooves to stop.

"Brothers, kill me!" Liu Bei, who had boarded Luma, drew out his double swords from his waist and shouted, and the army ambushing in the hills swarmed up.

At the foot of the mountain, Lu Lin's army all stood motionless, as if they were frightened quails.

However, among this group of quails, a man riding a tall horse did not even look at the place where the fighting sound was coming from. He looked at the weapon in his hand indifferently and murmured: "I haven't hunted for a long time. I hope you can come." Please don’t let me down.”

Then, he yelled, "Line up to meet the enemy!"

The originally chaotic soldiers began to move.
