The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

But the other army that came to attack Liangzhou, Cao Cao's army, wanted to occupy the entire Liangzhou. Logically, Cao Cao was Zhao Yun's main enemy, and Zhao Yun should use most of his troops to fight against Cao Cao's army.

"According to the scouts." Qiu Liju summoned all the leaders to discuss the matter, and even Liu Bao was called, which shows how much Qiu Liju valued Zhao Yun. "General Liu Bei Zhao Yun, who is guarding Liangzhou, has led the army to Xinping, and Cheriji is Zhao Yun's. Killed by soldiers and horses."

"Zhao Yun is currently in Xinping County. There are Zhao Yun's rangers all around Xinping County. Our scouts can only see from a distance that the Xinping County Tower is covered with Han people. Zhao Yun's handsome flag is also hanging on the Xinping County Tower."

"Besides, the scouts also found a 5000-strong elite cavalry coming towards us. The commander of the troops is Zhao Yun's general Zhang Xiu. What do you think?" After Qiu Liju finished speaking, he looked coldly at the leaders of the various ministries below.

"King," Qiu Liju's confidant General Lang Ni bent down and said, "I heard that this Zhao Yun is Liu Bei's top general, with superb martial arts skills, and the soldiers and horses in his hands are all elite Han people. Even General Cao Cao is not his opponent. The army is coming, we have to be careful."

"King," Lou Ban said afterward, "That Zhang Xiu led five thousand cavalry to test our strength. Why don't we take this opportunity to eat up the five thousand cavalry and let Zhao Yun know how powerful we are. That's it. Zhao Yun didn't dare to act rashly, at that time, as long as we don't attack the big city of Liangzhou, Zhao Yun should not stop us from finding some food, and when we find enough food, we will leave Liangzhou."

Lou Ban's words caught the eyes of many leaders. Anyway, they are looting food. It doesn't matter whether they go to a big city or not, as long as they don't fight.

"Leader Liu Bao, what do you think?" Many Xianbei leaders expressed their opinions, some supported Lou Ban's opinion, and some felt that Zhao Yun did not have as many troops as them, so they could kill Zhao Yun. The whole Liangzhou belonged to them, and they always maintained Liu Bao, who kept a low profile and did not express his opinion, failed to escape Qiu Liju's attention, so he directly asked Liu Bao by name.

"King," Liu Bao stood up hastily, and said cautiously, "I don't think Zhao Yun will let us plunder Liangzhou. He will definitely attack us until he drives us back to the grassland."

"Why?" Qiu Liju raised his hand to suppress Lou Ban who wanted to speak out, and continued to ask Liu Bao with interest.

Liu Bao's heart trembled, but he still said softly: "A few years ago, our grassland tribes came to the Central Plains to hunt, and Liu Bei sent troops to stop us from entering the Central Plains. From this point of view, Liu Bei dislikes us looting the Han people very much."

Liu Bao paused, and he was relieved when he saw that Qiu Liju didn't change his expression, because at that time, the Huns were the masters of the grassland, and Xianbei and Wuheng were still their slaves. Defeated and became a vassal of Xianbei.

Liu Bao continued: "Zhao Yun is Liu Bei's general, and he will definitely act according to Liu Bei's wishes. If we allow us to plunder Liangzhou, Zhao Yun will definitely be punished by Liu Bei."

"So." Liu Bao said here, looked at the many leaders in the big tent, and said: "Now we must either go back the same way, return to the grassland from Jingyang, or defeat Zhao Yun and occupy Liangzhou."

"Then fight!" Lou Ban roared viciously.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!..."

"Quiet!"

Qiu Liju gave a cold cry, causing the fighting spirit to stop and look at their king.

"Leader Liu Bao is right. Zhao Yun will not let us plunder Liangzhou, otherwise he will not leave Cao Cao's army behind and come to Xinping to block our way forward." Qiu Liju said here, smiling at Liu Bao head, as if to say, this king admires you very much, which makes Liu Bao feel a sense of crisis.

"But." Qiu Liju spoke again, and said to the crowd: "It is impossible for us to go back the same way, we don't have much food, and our clansmen are still waiting for our warriors to bring back the food for the winter, we have no choice. "

Zhan and returning the same way were two options. Qiu Liju chose the same choice as many leaders, because they had no choice. They came here from a long distance to plunder the people of the big Han and plunder enough food to go back.

"However, the Han army is very powerful, especially their weapons are very sophisticated, and we will suffer a lot from fighting with them." Qiu Liju glanced at the crowd, and then said: "We must not attack the big city guarded by the Han army, we must find a way Let them out of the city, and fight them on the plain."

The grassland ministries suffered enough from attacking Han Chinese cities. The Han people defended the city really well, especially the defensive weapons of the Han people were very terrifying. They were not good at attacking the city, and they were very resistant to attacking the big Han city.

"My lord, why don't we surround Zhang Xiu's 5000 troops and lead Zhao Yunshui's army to come to the rescue, so that we can fight Zhao Yun's troops outside the city." Lang Ni's eyes lit up, he immediately had an idea, and hurriedly offered advice .

"Okay." Qiu Liju's eyes lit up. This is indeed a good way. As long as Zhang Xiu's [-] soldiers and horses surround him, Zhao Yun will not come to rescue him. Zhao Yun.

"Zhang Xiu brought cavalry, and here is a flat land, it is difficult to surround them, we must find a way." Qiu Liju began to think, and soon made a decision, and ordered: "Leader Liu Bao , When Zhang Xiu arrives, lead the Xiongnu warriors to fight, and then pretend to be invincible to lure them to chase."

"Yes, Wang." Not daring to disobey Qiu Liju's order, Liu Bao hurriedly agreed.

"Wolf mud, Lou Ban."

"King!" Langni and Lou Ban rushed forward.

"Both of you lead [-] cavalry each, and lay in ambush to the left and right. When Zhang Xiu chases you, you immediately attack from the left and right to cut off Zhang Xiu's retreat." Qiu Liju entrusted the most important task to his most trusted and powerful two men. general.

"Yes, King!"

"The rest of the ministries, be prepared. Once Zhao Yun leads troops out of the city, we will leave them outside the city. As long as Zhao Yun's army is killed, the entire Liangzhou will belong to our grassland warriors."

"Yes, King!"

Chapter 471 Confrontation

"General Qi, the Xianbei army has set up camp sixty miles away, and sent many rangers to investigate." Zhang Xiu, who led the troops out of the city, felt a little more at ease after hearing the news.

"It seems that Mr. Gongwei's plan has succeeded." Zhang Xiu admired Meng Jian even more. A small plan stopped the Xianbei army, but Zhang Xiu also knew that this plan would not be able to hide Xianbei for long. After all, the soldiers in Xinping City The horses are all fake, if Xianbei sends soldiers and horses to test, it will be exposed.

"Send another thousand cavalry out to surround Xinping and hunt down the Xianbei scouts who want to get close to Xinping." Zhang Xiu had already sent a thousand cavalry out, but now Zhang Xiu only has four thousand cavalry around him, and when he sends another thousand cavalry, he has only Three thousand, more dangerous.

But it doesn't matter, five thousand and three thousand, facing more than [-] Xianbei army, there is no difference. As long as the Xianbei people think that Xinping has a large army garrisoned, the Xianbei army will not rush to attack Xinping.

"Go, let everyone cheer up."

After Zhang Xiu arranged everything, he led three thousand cavalry and swaggered towards the Xianbei camp, pretending not to be afraid of the Xianbei army.

"If the order continues, no one is allowed to fall behind. If there is a big war, no one is allowed to be caught by the Xianbei people... If they are surrounded and cannot escape, they should serve the emperor, and the emperor will not treat their families badly."

Before departure, Zhang Xiu had done a good job of mobilizing. This time, the coming here is related to the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people in Xinping. Xianbei people must not be allowed to know the real situation in Xinping City, so everyone who knows the situation in Xinping City must not be left behind. Into the hands of the Xianbei people.

Once surrounded by Xianbei people, they have to end their lives by themselves. For the sake of tens of thousands of people in Xinping, they have no choice.

"Go, find a way to find some Han people back. It must be kept secret, and the Xianbei people must not know." Liu Bao returned to the Huns camp and quietly ordered to his confidants.

Qiu Liju's heart to kill him became more and more serious, he had to hurry up, and there was no news of the people he sent out so far, and they were probably killed by the Han people as spies, because Zhao Yun was not far away in Xinping , It is impossible for the people sent out to find Zhao Yun.

The only way Liu Bao can think of is to let the Han people lead the way so that he can meet Zhao Yun and plan the next thing. He must contact Zhao Yun before Zhao Yun is defeated. Otherwise, when Qiu Liju really defeats Zhao Yun, he will have no worries. It is impossible for Qiu Liju to let Liu Bao and the Huns go.

"Boss, the king sent someone to let us take soldiers and horses to fight the Han people."

As soon as Liu Bao arranged for people to arrest the Han cavalry, Qiu Liju's order came. Now the Xiongnu camp is surrounded by Xianbei troops.

Together with Liu Bao, there was also a thousand Xianbei soldiers led by Qiu Liju's confidantes. In name, they fought against Zhang Xiu with Liu Bao and obeyed Zhang Xiu's command, but everyone knew that the thousand Xianbei soldiers came from time to time. Those who monitor Liu Bao, if Liu Bao makes any changes, all the Huns will die.

"I am General Zhao Yun, General of the Han Dynasty. On the order of my general, I came to see King Xianbei. Why are you blocking my way?" Liu Bao set up his formation and prepared to have a match with Zhang Xiu first, but Zhang Xiu replied like this .

The current situation made Liu Bao a little embarrassed. Although he was a subordinate of the Xianbei king Qiu Liju, he was a Hun, or he could be said to be the current king of the Huns. Zhang Xiuming had nothing to do with him as the Hun king when he met the Xianbei king.

"Boss Huhe, look..." Of course Liu Bao didn't want to fight Zhang Xiu, he didn't want to offend the Han people at this time, especially he didn't want Zhang Xiu to be surrounded by Qiu Liju and let Qiu Liju's plan succeed , so he took the opportunity to pretend to be embarrassed and looked at the Xianbei leader aside, pretending that everything was based on you.

"What the hell, let's kill one more battle first." Seeing that the Han army was only three thousand, not the five thousand mentioned earlier, Huhe didn't take this kind of troops into consideration at all. It ends early.

"No, Chief Huhe, they are here to see the king. They are the envoys of the Han people. We must seek the king's opinion." Liu Bao hurriedly objected, joking, and finally found an excuse not to fight, how could he let it go.

"This..." Leader Huhe was taken aback for a moment, as Liu Bao said, he dare not help Qiu Liju make a decision, otherwise Qiu Liju would be unhappy, and killing him would be an easy task .

"Let them wait here and don't leave." He still remembered Qiu Liju's order, first to monitor Liu Bao and not allow Liu Bao to communicate with the Han people, and second not to let the Han people escape, they must be led into the encirclement.

"Let them come over, and then surround all those Han people first." After learning about this situation, Qiu Liju's eyes lit up, and he smiled coldly. Since he came to the door himself, don't leave. As for the matter of the messenger, Grab it first, and then ask slowly.

It's a pity that Qiu Liju's intention was not realized, Zhang Xiu didn't move forward at all, but just waited there for Qiu Liju to meet him in person.

Qiu Liju was furious after hearing this, but there was nothing he could do, because Zhang Xiu was surrounded by flat mountains, and as long as there was a large army approaching, he could see it from a distance, and it was impossible to surround him quietly, and what Zhang Xiu brought were all cavalry, and he wanted to stay behind. Nor is it generally difficult.

"Wang, why don't you listen to what Zhang Xiu wants to say."
