Three Kingdoms: I can summon famous generals from all worlds

Chapter 107 Yuan Shao's Army?

Seeing Xiahoudun leading the army to go far away, Xi Zhicai said with a trace of doubt on his face:

"This is really novel. Are there still bandits on the road between Yingchuan and Nanyang?"

Liu Bian turned his head to look at Xi Zhicai, and then asked, "Why did Mr. Zhicai say that?"

Xi Zhicai said: "Most of the bandits today are the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. Although there are some green forest bandits who occupy the mountains and become kings, once the number exceeds a hundred, they are generally the Yellow Turbans."

"However, since the Yellow Turban cholera has basically subsided, the local boundaries have basically been completely cleared. Whether it is Yingchuan or Nanyang, they are considered to be close to Luoyang, the capital of the country. I can see the Yellow Turban Bandits. That’s why I said that it’s quite novel that bandits of this scale reappear here.”

Liu Bian nodded, while Guo Jia said:

"That's true, but there are always exceptions. The number of yellow scarf thieves is not too large. It is not impossible to survive until now."

"Ah."

Xi Zhicai nodded and said: "Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, and General Xiahou is brave, such trivial matters will not have much impact on us."

Everyone didn't really take this matter to heart. After all, even the remnants of the Yellow Turbans were just a group of bandits. Compared with the regular army under Cao Cao, their strength was still too weak.

However, things did not develop in the direction that everyone guessed.

The convoy moved slowly for two hours, but there was still no sign of Xiahou Dun leading the army back in front of him.

"Would it take so long to wipe out a wave of bandits?"

Liu Bian frowned slightly, this time has been longer than when he used He's private army to suppress the bandits when he was in Nanyang!And it was two hundred to five hundred at the beginning.

In fact, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans don't have much fighting power at all. Basically, as long as they stay strong in the first battle, defeat the opponent once, and kill the leader of the opponent, they will almost admit defeat.

But this time, it took Xiahou Dun such a long time to fight against 180 mountain bandits with [-] regular troops... Liu Bian was a little surprised.

"Normal...it shouldn't be like this."

On the side, Guo Jia also looked forward. A not-too-high mountain that had previously reported bandits was approaching, but there was still no sign of the army led by Xiahou Dun.

Just as he was wondering, two cavalry came galloping forward. Liu Bianlue fixed his eyes and saw that it was the soldiers led by Xia Houdun.

"Stop! Stop!"

The soldier yelled and blocked the convoy from a long distance away, and then ran directly to Cao Cao's car and reported:
"My lord! General Xiahou ordered his subordinates to send a message! The bandits on the mountain ahead seem not to be ordinary yellow scarf thieves! Although there are not many people on the mountain, they are well equipped! The armor, bows and crossbows are all made in Hebei! It looks like the army under Yuan Shao in Hebei. !General Xiahou is afraid that there is fraud ahead, please retreat temporarily, my lord!"

Yuan Shao's troops?
Liu Bian slightly raised his eyebrows, but this was unexpected.

How could Yuan Shao's troops be here at this time?Could it be the stragglers after the battle with Sun Jian?But Huang Zhong didn't lead his army to pursue it back then... How could there be such a large wave of scattered soldiers?
Liu Bian sat in the carriage without moving. After a while, he saw Cao Cao in the front carriage get off the carriage and walk towards Liu Bian.

"Military division, what do you think?"

Cao Cao called himself military advisor, but he actually came to ask Liu Bian for instructions on what to do.

Liu Bian thought for a while, then called the messenger soldier who came back to report and asked:

"On the mountain ahead, how many enemy troops are there?"

"Back to the army division, the enemy army has about 300 people, guarding from a high position, guarding the main road up the mountain, and there are enough troops and horses, there is a possibility of charging down the mountain at any time!"

"Only three hundred?"

Liu Bian raised his eyebrows, then turned to look at Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai next to him and said:
"If the opponent has only about 300 people, even if they have military horses and can charge, they are not our opponents. If we fight with all our strength, it is actually not difficult to defeat the opponent with the strength of Unohana and I, Xiahou What the general is worried about is that the opponent is Yuan Shao's army. And our army has had friction with Yuan Shao's army before, I am afraid there is another ambush, what do you two think?"

Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia looked at each other, then shook their heads.

Xi Zhicai said: "Although I don't know why Yuan Shao's army is here, since the opponent has 300 horses and the advantage of the terrain, but they are still standing firm, it can be judged that they should not have any ambushes. My lord can rest assured to attack them. Maybe we can capture some sergeants and harvest a batch of war horses."

"I think the same way."

Guo Jia nodded beside him and said: "If there is really an ambush, the opponent can hide first, and then charge down from the mountain in one go, but now although the opponent has advantages in various aspects, they still have no intention of taking the initiative to attack. Still afraid of us."

Liu Bian himself had a similar thought in his mind. After getting the confirmation from Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia, he nodded immediately, and then turned his head to the side of Unoka and said:

"Maozhihua, why don't you take the 20 people around us up from the back of the mountain, and let the two messengers go back and let Xiahoudun feign a frontal attack. When the battle starts on your side, he will attack with all his strength, and he will be able to break the army in one fell swoop." .”

"Also, don't be in a hurry to kill people after breaking the army. It would be best if you can catch a leader or a small school. I want to question you."

Unozhihua put down the teacup in her hand, grabbed the Zanpakuto beside her, nodded to Liu Bian and said:
"Unohana takes orders, please wait a moment, my lord, the battle will end soon."

With that said, Unohana got out of the car, and immediately greeted all the remaining soldiers, and set off together, bypassing the mountain ahead, and started climbing from a hidden place.

Seeing Uzhihua lead the team away, there are only a few grooms and cooks left here, and then there are Liu Bian, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and Cao Cao.

"It is said that there are three hundred soldiers on that mountain, and General Unohana led a surprise attack with only twenty soldiers. Is the number less?"

Cao Cao frowned slightly, with a hint of worry on his face.

Liu Bian said with a chuckle, "Meng De doesn't have to worry, Mao Zhihua's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world, and bringing her 20 people is actually just to help her grow a little bit. In fact, even if she is the only one who makes a surprise attack, it is enough." .”

"Furthermore, the surprise attack does not depend on the number of troops, but on surprise. As long as the opponent's army is disturbed so that they cannot look back and forth, with General Xiahou's ability, he will surely be able to break through the enemy's stronghold in one fell swoop."

"The words of the lord are well versed in the essence of the art of war."

Guo Jia on the side also nodded and said: "This plan, even if General Unoka is replaced by an ordinary master, it will definitely work."

"It's a pity that you can't see the battlefield here, but you can see the heroic and heroic appearance of General Uzhihua. In the early years, I heard that General Uzhihua killed Dong Zhuo with his own strength, broke through the tiger prison and closed the door. I really admire it."
