Three Kingdoms King of the North

In the past, a certain man had also heard about the benevolence and righteousness of the Lord of the Han family, so after breaking through the siege, he went to Yecheng to ask for help.I didn't expect to meet Fujun in the middle of the journey, what a pleasant surprise. "

Han Zhan thought of Guan Hai's tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans, even if they were all dead, but it would not be so easy for Tai Shici to break through the encirclement.So he asked curiously: "The meaning of the word means that Beihai must be surrounded by Guan Hai's bandits at this moment, but I don't know how the meaning of the word breaks out of the siege?"

"After receiving Kong Beihai's order, a certain man saw that the rebel army was so powerful that it might be difficult to break through the siege rashly, so he had a plan."

Tai Shici's words aroused Han Zhan's curiosity: "What plan?"

"Every morning, XX ordered two soldiers to carry arrow stacks and follow XX to practice arrows outside the city." Tai Shici said: "On the first day, as soon as we left the city, hundreds of yellow scarf thieves surrounded us. Shooting arrows outside the city did not take any action, but monitored a hundred steps away.

The next day, a certain soldier went out to shoot arrows with his soldiers.This time the yellow turban thief was still watching from a hundred paces away, not daring to get close, for fear of being hurt by someone's cold arrow.

Chapter 369 Interpretation of Zhang Fei

The three of Liu Guanzhang and their subordinates left Han Zhan's army and headed for Pingyuan County.When he was halfway, Guan Yu suddenly stopped his mount, turned his head and asked Liu Bei, "Brother, Guan sees Mr. Han as a benevolent and righteous person. Do we really want to fight against them?"

"Second brother, why don't you know the character of Lord Han?" Hearing Guan Yu's question, Liu Bei sighed, and said, "Brother Gongsun sent a letter two days ago, saying that Lord Han led an army north to welcome the emperor. Drive to Yecheng. If Shengjia really goes to Yecheng, then he can take the emperor with him so that the princes will meet with Youzhou soldiers sooner or later."

"Brother, if Mr. Han really raises his troops to invade Pingyuan, Guan is willing to fight him to the death." Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said, "What kind of a hero is a man who commits murder secretly."

"Third brother." Seeing that Guan Yu did not agree with his plan, Liu Bei turned to Zhang Fei and asked, "What do you think?"

"Second brother makes sense." Zhang Fei said with some embarrassment when he heard Liu Bei's question, "But since eldest brother has already agreed to Gongsun Zan, it seems a bit inappropriate to return when the situation is imminent."

"The third brother is right. I have promised Gongsun Zan as my brother, so naturally I can't break my promise." After Liu Bei said this, he turned his face and said to Guan Yu: "Brother Gongsun sent us 3000 troops, and we will use these troops tonight." People and horses went to steal the camp, and with the skills of the two righteous brothers, it must not be difficult to capture Han Zhan."

"Such an unrighteous thing, Guan does not bother to do it." After Guan Yu finished speaking, he stretched his horse and headed towards Pingyuan County.

Looking at the back of Guan Yu going away, Liu Bei raised his head and let out a long sigh, and then wanted to say to himself and Zhang Fei: "I didn't expect my second brother to be such an arrogant person. If Han Zhan's soldiers and horses are allowed to follow him Ping Yuan passed by, how will I explain to Brother Gongsun Xian." He said, raised his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes.

Zhang Fei is a straightforward person. When he saw Liu Bei being in such a difficult situation, he said carelessly, "Brother, don't worry. The second brother doesn't want to lead troops to steal the camp. Then you can leave the important task of stealing the camp to someone to complete."

On the way back to the plain, the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang, Han Zhan's soldiers and horses also stopped and set up camp on the spot.While the soldiers were busy, Guo Jia walked up to Han Zhan and whispered to him, "Master, there seems to be something wrong with Jiaguan Liu Xuande's expression?"

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Hearing what Guo Jia said, Han Zhan said jokingly, "He didn't want to come overnight to rob Benhou's camp, did he?"

When Guo Jia heard what Han Zhan said, his eyes widened in surprise: "It turns out that the lord has already seen Liu Xuande's wolf ambition. I don't know what arrangement we will make?"

Han Zhan was just joking casually, but seeing Guo Jia's solemn expression at this moment, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and asked in an unbelievable tone: "Could it be that Liu Bei and Liu Xuande really want to steal the camp overnight?"

Guo Jia sneered and said, "Nine out of ten."

"I have no grievances with Liu Bei in the past, and we have no vengeance in the present," Han Zhan said with a frown, "Why did he come to plot against me?"

"Although Liu Xuande doesn't have any conflicts with the lord, but," Guo Jia pointed to the north with his hand, he said, "Don't forget that there is Gongsun Zan in the north. If he wants to unify the four northern states, then the lord will be his biggest obstacle." , he will definitely try to get rid of you."

For Guo Jia's statement, Han Zhan agrees very much in his heart.You know, the reason why Han Fu gave up Jizhou to Yuan Shao was because he was worried that he would not be able to withstand Gongsun Zan's attack. It can be said that Gongsun Zan killed Han Fu in disguise.Although he and Gongsun Zan had jointly dispatched troops to deal with Yuan Shao half a year ago, it was only a temporary expedient measure, and sooner or later the two sides would meet each other in battle.

However, Han Zhan still took a chance and said: "Liu Bei doesn't have many soldiers and horses, and the only generals he can use are his two righteous brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and we have an army of [-], and we also have Zilong, Ziman and Ziyi, to deal with them is simply as easy as pie."

"In a head-to-head confrontation, if we want to defeat Liu Bei, it's like trampling an ant to death." Seeing that Han Zhan showed signs of underestimating the enemy, Guo Jia quickly reminded him, "But if they sneak attack at night, they will still be hard to guard against."

Although Han Zhan remembered many tactics to deal with stealing camps, he didn't know which one to use in a hurry, so he looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Feng Xiao, what should we do?"

Guo Jia squatted on the ground and drew a simple picture for Han Zhan. He pointed to a circle in the middle and said to Han Zhan, "My lord, this is the big tent you are in, and it is a hundred steps away from the gate. I guess Liu Bei is going to steal it." The battalion must have come from the north, so we dug two rows of horse pits in the north, and the enemy who stole the camp would fall into the pit one after another as soon as they entered the camp. Come out by surprise."

After listening to Guo Jia's plan, Han Zhan looked at him and asked, "Feng Xiao, if Liu Bei came to steal the camp, he would definitely be cautious. How could he break into the camp so easily?"

"Just let them see that someone they're interested in is in the tent, and they'll rush in regardless."

"Who is the person they are interested in?" Before Guo Jia could answer, Han Zhan came up with the answer himself: "Feng Xiao, won't you let Ben Hou be the bait to lure Liu Bei into the bait?"

"That's right," Guo Jia nodded and said, "That's exactly what Jia Jia wanted."

Han Zhan thought to himself, Guo Jia's strategy is to use himself as bait to lure Liu Bei and the others into the bait.But don’t be afraid of [-], just in case. If the fish doesn’t take the bait in the end, but you don’t have the bait, wouldn’t it be a big loss?Thinking of this, Han Zhan quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I can't stay in the tent. If the horse trap in the camp doesn't work, if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rush in front of me, I will die. , so what should we do?"

"Please don't worry, my lord." Seeing that Han Zhan was about to retreat, Guo Jia hurriedly persuaded him, "Jiahui ordered people to dig a few more horse pits in front of the tent, not to mention Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, even if there were ten or eight more, it would be too late. It has already made them fall down and unable to get up. Also, Jiahui has hidden several warriors in the tent, which can protect the safety of the lord at critical moments."

Although Guo Jia had already made a guarantee, Han Zhan was still not at ease, so he ordered one of his subordinates to call Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Tai Shici and others to discuss specific countermeasures.

After a while, all the people who were notified gathered in Han Zhan's big tent.When Han Zhan told everyone that Liu Bei might steal the camp in the dark, Dian Wei became anxious first: "My lord, please give the general five thousand soldiers and horses, and the general will lead them into Pingyuan county immediately. Take the heads of Liu, Guan and Zhang so far."

The three of Liu Guanzhang and their subordinates left Han Zhan's army and headed for Pingyuan County.When he was halfway, Guan Yu suddenly stopped his mount, turned his head and asked Liu Bei, "Brother, Guan sees Mr. Han as a benevolent and righteous person. Do we really want to fight against them?"
