Three Kingdoms: defect to Liu Bei and backhand intercept Mrs. Hu Mi

Chapter 15 Lu Bu was deceived!

Thirty miles away, on the official road leading to Pengcheng.

Twenty thousand troops marched rapidly.

At the front of the team, Lu Bu wore a three-pronged purple-gold hairdo, stepped on a red rabbit horse, and held a Fangtian painted halberd. He was so majestic that no one dared to look up.

"Tap Tap"

There was a rapid sound of horse hooves, and then hundreds of cavalry appeared in the sky.

Lu Bu frowned. Before he could give the order, the Bingzhou cavalry beside him had already stepped forward.

"Who are you waiting for? Report your name!"

Hundreds of riders were getting closer and closer. Cao Xing and Hao Meng saw clearly that the person next to Lu Bu was Zhang Liao, and they were immediately shocked.

"Marquis Wen, it's Wenyuan!"

"Is there an ambush in Pengcheng?"

Lu Bu also had a solemn look on his face, clamped his legs together hard, and the red rabbit horse under his crotch galloped forward.

"Wen Yuan, what's going on?"

"There are only so many of the three thousand elite soldiers left?"

"Still so embarrassed?"

Zhang Liao's face was disheveled and he smiled bitterly: "Liu Bei abandoned the city and fled. Lin Fan took control of Pengcheng, killed Cao Bao, set up an ambush at the city gate, and led me to a fierce battle. Then we attacked from both sides from behind, and our army was defeated!!"

"If it weren't for the sacrifice of my own soldiers and the soldiers to protect me, I'm afraid even I would be trapped there."

Lu Bu's expression changed: "Lin Fan?"

"This man."

"It is the bandit who led two thousand minions to Liu Bei a few days ago and robbed the Miss Mi family today."

"he?"

"Didn't Zhang Fei kill him?"

Zhang Liao shook his head: "I heard that Zhang Fei was beheaded by Lin Fan!"

"what?"

"Behead Zhang Fei on his horse?"

"When did the world have such a strong general?"

Lu Bu shouted in shock.

He had a duel with Zhang Fei at Hulao Pass. Even if he took Zhang Fei's life, it would take at least [-] rounds, or even more.

I didn't expect Lin Fan, the unknown bandit leader, to be so powerful.

Cao Xing and Hao Meng also took a breath.

Seeing the shock of Lu Bu, Cao Xing, and Hao Meng, Zhang Liao secretly sneered.

If they were told that Lin Fan almost killed Zhang Fei with one move, these three people would not know how to be shocked.

He sneered in his heart, but Zhang Liao's face was full of sorrow: "My subordinates fought with Lin Fan, but after only fifty rounds, they couldn't resist it. I think it would be a combined effort to kill Zhang Fei."

Lu Bu then breathed a sigh of relief: "Wenyuan, you scared me."

"How many people does Lin Fan have?"

Zhang Liao was silent for a moment: "He originally had less than two thousand men. If Zhang Fei is surrendered, Cao Bao's men should number four thousand."

"But we just won a battle. Excluding some losses, there were at most five thousand people."

"Five thousand people?"

Lu Bu frowned slightly.

Zhang Liao continued to add: "Although there are five thousand people, they all surrendered and defeated the clan, and their combat effectiveness is vulnerable."

"If Song Xian hadn't been beheaded and I had been entangled by Lin Fan, three thousand cavalry would have been enough to sweep him away."

Lu Bu nodded slightly and looked at Pengcheng: "In order to win by surprise, we first occupy Pengcheng and confront Liu Bei across the Surabaya River, and slowly plan for it."

"Now that Lin Fan is a variable, we cannot capture Pengcheng quickly."

"What should I do?"

Cao Xing and Hao Meng looked at each other, both smiled bitterly and shook their heads: "It would have been better if I had known that I should have brought Mr. Gongtai (Chen Gong's nickname) here, instead of us thinking about it here."

Lu Bu had a thought in his mind and was considering whether to invite Chen Gong.

Zhang Liao was the first to speak: "Marquis Wen, I have a plan to defeat Pengcheng."

"Oh?"

“Wenyuan, it’s okay to say it!”

Zhang Liao said: "Although I only met Lin Fan once today, I can feel the aura of arrogance from him." "As long as I lead the troops to fight, defeat them for a while, and attract them to chase, Marquis Wen and General Cao will , General Hao ambushes them and will surely annihilate them in one fell swoop.”

"Kill Lin Fan and destroy all his people. Isn't Pengcheng within easy reach?"

Lu Bu's eyes were full of surprise: "Okay!"

"This plan is very clever."

"Without further ado, go ahead and fight while the iron is hot. Today we will enter Pengcheng."

Zhang Liao shook his head: "Our army has been attacking for dozens of miles, and we are already exhausted of men and horses. It is better to camp on the spot now and be surprised tomorrow."

"Our vanguard has suffered a setback and cannot afford to be defeated again."

Lu Bu pondered for a long time, then looked at Cao Xing and Hao Meng, asking for their opinions.

The two of them also felt that it was better to play it safe and nodded in agreement.

Then Lu Bu gave an order, and [-] elite soldiers set up camp on the spot.

Seeing Lu Bu's "good demeanor", Zhang Liao finally felt relieved.

The cold moon hangs high, and the bright moonlight shines on the earth.

At a glance, the shadows of trees in the distance are clearly visible.

The sight was so good that the soldiers guarding the door naturally relaxed.

The night breeze was cool, and a few people shrank their heads and stamped their feet on the spot.

"Damn it, what the hell is the weather like? It's March and it's still so cold at night, you have to suffer!!"

"Who says it's not the case? I thought it would be nice to stand guard at night because it's been warm during the day. Who knows?"

"Oh, it's our bad luck. If Lin Fan, the mountain king, hadn't been killed, why would we be standing guard in the wild?"

"If there is a chance, do you have to take off Lin Fan's head?"

"Pick his head off? Are you kidding? I heard that General Zhang Liao is no match for him!"

"Just you? Even ten of them stacked together are no match for him!"

"Who said that? Maybe"

Being ridiculed, the red-faced soldier was about to argue.

The guard captain on the side shouted coldly: "Are you guys desperate for your lives?"

"General Zhang Liao also dares to arrange it?"

"Be heard by him"

Before the words were spoken, a sound of footsteps was heard in the distance.

"Who's talking about me?"

The familiar and majestic voice shocked the dozen or so soldiers guarding the gate.

Turning around, I saw Zhang Liao slowly approaching with a group of people.

The dozen or so soldiers guarding the gate had pale faces and fell to their knees directly: "I have seen General Zhang. I was just joking. I did not mean to set you up. Please forgive me, General!!"

Zhang Liao snorted coldly: "Standing guard is a top priority, it is related to the safety of the camp. You are so slack. If the enemy attacks and our army suffers heavy losses, what should we do?"

"Go back to me, I will lead the military strategy!!"

Several soldiers crawled towards the camp. The captain of the guard hesitated for a moment: "General Zhang, General Hao Meng has arranged for us to be on duty tonight. How can we leave without permission?"

"If he knew about it, he might even lose his life."

"General, please forgive me and spare us once."

Zhang Liao sneered: "You think I can't kill you?"

"Still think I'm afraid of Hao Meng?"

Strong murderous intent emanated from his eyes, and the captain guarding the gate was shocked and did not dare to speak again.

He shook his head repeatedly: "I will receive my punishment tomorrow. General, spare my life!!"

After saying that, he also rolled and crawled towards the camp.

Watching the pair of gatekeepers enter the tent, Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes and ordered the people beside him: "One group of people set fire to the tent while preparing, and the other group went to clear the secret sentry."

"Let the lord enter the camp smoothly."

"Understand?"

"Here!!"

More than a hundred people behind him went their separate ways.

Zhang Liao looked at the darkness in the distance, feeling a little excited and hopeful.
