The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 644

Xue An scolded him to no avail, so he had to lead his troops back to the camp. After learning about the situation, Li Xianzhong analyzed: "I have dealt with Lu Bu in the early years, and he has an extremely aloof personality. If you yell and scold me all day, but Lu Bu doesn’t fight, there is only one explanation. Lu Bu is not in the Yizhou camp now!"

Answering the government office, Li Xianzhong summoned all the generals to come over, and when he told the situation, all the generals were very worried. Now Lv Bu is not in the Yizhou camp.Where did you go again?Such a fierce tiger, without knowing his whereabouts, is like a sharp knife hanging on his head, and his heart is uneasy.

"If Lu Bu is not in the Qishan camp, he will be in the Han army or send troops to Xiegu, Ziwu Valley, or send troops to disperse the pass to attack Chencang. The general does not need to worry. Chencang occupies a dangerous position. Even if Lu Bu comes to attack, he will return in defeat. Chang'an With Kong Ming stationed there, hehe, how can Lu Bu beat Kong Ming?" Xie Xuan said with a smile.

"I regret that I didn't follow Kong Ming's suggestion and keep more troops in Chang'an." Li Xianzhong sighed.

Xie Xuan comforted: "Don't worry, general. Although there are only three thousand soldiers in Chang'an, Kong Ming has already taken precautions. Even if Lu Bu goes to attack Chang'an, there will be countless people in Chang'an city to help guard. Don't worry, the immediate priority is the immediate Yizhou soldiers and horses, we have to figure out the intention of Yizhou soldiers and horses."

After Xie Xuan's explanation, Li Xianzhong let go of his worries. With Hao Zhao guarding Chencang, it must be as stable as Mount Tai.As for Chang'an, as long as Zhuge Liang does not go out of the city to fight and rely on the people to defend the city, everything will be fine.

After Li Xianzhong was relieved of the heavy burden in his heart, his brain became active, and he said: "You Du is right, the immediate priority is Yizhou soldiers and horses, their purpose, the use of food and grass, and the situation of General Cao Mengde. Just have to figure it out."

Li Xianzhong looked at the generals and gave orders: "There are five thousand cavalry in our army. General Xue, you still lead three thousand cavalry to the Qishan camp every day to call for battle. Find out the situation of the soldiers and horses in Yizhou!"

"Youdu, you lead the remaining [-] cavalry to go deep into Qishan Mountain, draw a map, and find out the food roads in Shu County. The [-] cavalry alternately move forward, and every time you reach a high place, you will occupy a favorable terrain. Be careful!"

Xie Xuan bowed his hands and said: "Don't worry, general, if Yizhou soldiers and horses dare to attack me, I will definitely let him come and go."

During the past few days with Xie Xuan, Li Xianzhong also saw Xie Xuan's extraordinaryness, not to mention his ability to use troops, but his strategic vision was very strong, even stronger than his coach.But Li Xianzhong did not dare to let him take risks. After all, Xie Xuan is the uncle of the current state. Li Xianzhong was worried and reminded: "You only have two thousand cavalry, so don't take risks. After all, Qishan is the territory of Yizhou. The so-called strong dragon does not suppress the local snake , don’t even think about defeating the Yizhou soldiers, just retreat completely.”

"Don't worry, general, Xuan is not an impulsive person!" Xie Xuan nodded and smiled.

Li Xianzhong stopped telling him, and ordered: "In addition, the scout battalion is sending out scouts to contact General Cao in the direction of Chencang, Chang'an, and Jincheng. The information between them should not be transmitted for more than three days! I want to know the movements everywhere at any time."

"It's the general!" All the generals and school looked terrified, and they all bowed their hands to accept the order.

Xie Xuan admired Li Xianzhong's arrangement for the commander-in-chief to coordinate the overall situation and use troops according to the situation in all aspects.

In the next few days, Xue An led the cavalry to the Qishan camp every day to call for battle, but the Yizhou soldiers and horses stayed put and no generals came out to fight.And Xie Xuan led the cavalry deep into the back of Qishan, drew a map, and inquired about the transportation of soldiers, horses, grain and grass in Yizhou.

Ten days later, the scouts sent by Li Xianzhong also reported from Chen Cang and Chang'an that everything was safe and sound.As for Jincheng, the Mongolian army, led by Tuo Lei, has arrived in Wuwei County and confronted Cao Cao's army across the Yellow River.

However, as time went by, there was one thing that the Yizhou Army had to deal with.

Yizhou soldiers and horses left Qishan, and grain and grass were transported from Hanzhong. Although it was different from the difficult and dangerous roads of Shu, the transportation from Hanzhong also had to go through the general's mountain road, so it was very difficult for grain and grass to reach Qishan camp.

The delivery of grain and grass from Hanzhong to Qishan every half a month was decided by Yizhou soldiers before, and now Yizhou soldiers and horses have left Qishan for more than half a month.The food and grass carried by the army was running out, but Xie Xuan led the cavalry to the rear of Qishan Mountain, aiming at the food and grass of the soldiers in Yizhou.

Yizhou can't sit idly by. If Yizhou's troops choose to fight, Xie Xuan will naturally not dare to blatantly cut off the food road behind Qishan in front of him, but Yizhou's soldiers and horses avoid fighting. When the food and grass are insufficient, they must face Xie Xuan's attack This army.

In the camp of Yizhou, Zhang Ren looked at Fazheng with a serious face and said: "Military Master, Mr. Sima told us not to hold on, we only need to hold back the main force of the Han army, but now our army is short of food and grass, and the Han army cavalry is going to our army. Cut off the food road in the rear, now we have to fight no matter what, do you have any suggestions?"

There are many infantry in the middle of Shu, but not many cavalry, not to mention the difficult mountain roads, even if there are cavalry, they can't bring them over. Therefore, it is not so easy to deal with Xie Xuan's cavalry.

Fazheng murmured: "Now the Han army has entered the back of Mount Qi, occupying every dangerous point, cutting off our army's food and grass, but he doesn't have much food and grass himself, so our army only needs to use his own way to deal with his own body. Lay an ambush in the land to curb the Han army's replenishment route, and trap him to death in the mountains and forests."

Zhang Ren rejoiced and said: "The military commander is really resourceful. Zhang Liao, you will lead five thousand soldiers and horses to occupy various dangerous places, cut off the Han army's supply route, and trap the Han army cavalry to death in Qishan."

Zhang Liao cupped his hands and said, "Promise!"

Zhang Liao immediately headed towards Qishan with [-] soldiers and set up ambushes on various dangerous roads to cut off the return route of the Han army.

Walking to a mountain road, there are high mountains on both sides of the mountain road, and only one mountain road passes through the middle. This road is an important way out of Qishan Mountain, and it is very steep.

Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses stood behind the mountain road and gave orders to the soldiers: "This road is under the main road for the Han army to return. You send out a thousand archers and go to the mountains on both sides to set up ambushes."

The soldiers obeyed the orders, and walked to the mountains on both sides, and walked to the middle of the mountains, but they didn't expect that hundreds of soldiers on the mountains waved their flags and shouted, bows and arrows, and rolling stones fell together, and the soldiers and horses of Yizhou who were going to the mountains were severely injured.

Only a few dozen soldiers fled back to the foot of the mountain and reported to Zhang Liao: "General, there is an ambush by the Han army on the mountain!"

Zhang Liao said solemnly: "Our army can't avoid it, and we are negligent in guarding against it, but we don't want the Han army to contain the danger in advance, so as to prevent our army from cutting off his retreat."

Inside the mountain road, Xie Xuan came with cavalry on horseback, watching Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses shooting arrows from a distance, Xie Xuan's young and handsome face carried a message, and said loudly: "Calculate the time, you guys The army is short of food and grass, and the time has come, and I will definitely not sit back and watch our army cut off the food road, so I have already occupied the dangerous position in advance to prevent you from cutting off our army's retreat!"

Zhang Liao looked at Xie Xuan from a distance, wondering when this young hero would appear again in a big man, and asked in a deep voice: "Who is the enemy general on the other side, please report his name!"

"I am Xie Xuan, so I will be named after you!" Xie Xuan shouted in a deep voice.

"Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan are here!" Zhang Liao shouted loudly.

Xie Xuan urged the horse to go forward, and the two sides confronted each other with swords drawn. Xie Xuan said: "Although your army has many soldiers and horses, our army is cavalry. If you fight, I am afraid that both sides will suffer. Why don't we just stop fighting?"

Zhang Liao didn't want to fight either, so he nodded and said, "That's very good!"

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the soldiers and horses in the rear retreated slowly. After Zhang Liao left, the Han army ambushing in the mountains on both sides also retreated, and they all mounted their horses. Xie Xuan looked at Zhang Liao and said in a low voice: "This Liao is also very cautious. Then I set up an ambush, but he didn't come in at the crossing, I originally planned to wipe out the invading enemy, but I didn't want to fail!"

Although Xie Xuan's ambush did not result in a big victory, he also captured nearly a thousand Yizhou soldiers and horses. These soldiers all admired Xie Xuan, saying: "The general used troops for the first time, and he gained a lot. Although Zhang Liao did not fall into the ambush, it was extremely rare. What shall we do now?"

Xie Xuan shook his head and said, "We can't stay here anymore. Yizhou food and grass will arrive soon, and Yizhou soldiers and horses will definitely send a large number of soldiers and horses to support them. Let's go back and ask General Li Xianzhong for instructions."

After saying that, Xie Xuan returned to Shangbang with his soldiers and horses. In Shangbang City, Li Xianzhong heard the news and went out of the city to meet him. He met Xie Xuan who was returning.

Li Xianzhong hurried forward and asked: "Is there something wrong with Youdu? I heard that Yizhou soldiers and horses entered Qishan to deal with you. I was afraid that you had something to do, so I came to meet you."

The cavalry behind Xie Xuan laughed and said: "General Xie is very resourceful. He expected that Yizhou soldiers and horses would cut off our army's way, so he set up an ambush long ago. It's a pity that Zhang Liao was very cautious. He didn't enter the valley and only killed There are nearly a thousand Yizhou soldiers."

Li Xianzhong was overjoyed and said: "Your Majesty really has discerning eyes and discerning pearls. Youdu sent troops for the first time, and he achieved such success!"

Xie Xuan shook his head again and again, and said modestly: "The general is over-reputed. I have been behind Qishan for more than ten days, and the food and grass in Yizhou have been delivered after calculating the time. Otherwise, Yizhou soldiers and horses would not be dispatched to deal with our army. Now Yizhou soldiers, horses, food and grass are about to be delivered, but they avoid fighting, I don't know what countermeasures the general has, so they can use this matter to make a fuss!"

Li Xianzhong became thoughtful when he heard it, and said: "This matter is very important, let's go back to the camp and discuss it slowly."

Back in the county seat, Li Xianzhong immediately summoned his generals, even Xue An, who had gone to challenge the Qishan camp, also called back to discuss the use of troops against Yizhou.

Li Xianzhong stood up holding his sword and said loudly: "General Xie led the cavalry to inquire about the news in Qishan. According to the news he got, the Yizhou army is short of food and grass. They should bring food and grass during this time. Now the Yizhou soldiers and horses are avoiding. If you don't fight, I don't know what countermeasures you have, take this opportunity to attack Yizhou's troops?"
