After Bai Lang had marched only a few miles, he ordered the troops to disperse and rest. Perhaps one of his generals asked him, "What if I ask you for help?" Bai Lang laughed and said, "It's just a matter of luck. We will definitely win this time, so why worry."
After saying that, they left the banquet and just sent out the scout horses to find out the news. Sure enough, a moment later, two scout horses came to report that Zhao Yun had killed Lu Kuang, Zhang Fei had killed Lu Xiang, Cao's army of 5,000 men was almost wiped out, and Xuande won a great victory.
Seeing Bai Lang leisurely and contented, Xuande also said, "Yuzhu is indeed very kind." Bai Lang smiled, "I just believe in Shan Fu's plan." Now Liu Beijun has received the 16,000 elite troops brought by Bai Lang.
Xinye's troops had exceeded 40,000 and there were 6,000 Bingzhou elite cavalry. If Cao Ren hadn't come with his entire army, a confrontation would not have been possible. Moreover, Cao Zixiao had carelessly lost two generals and 5,000 troops.
The small town of Xinye was okay for a while, but over time it would not be able to support Liu Xuande's current troops. "Replace the old and weak, and keep the best. The replaced soldiers can be given to the fields for military camps. If we can find them
A wife would be even better." Needless to say, Bai Lang had Shan Fu and other advisers under Liu Bei come up with a solution. The world has been at war for a long time, and even Jingzhou now has quite a lot of land that can be given to officers and soldiers, not to mention that it can still be cultivated.
Liu Xuande then stationed in Xinye and reduced the number of more than 40,000 soldiers to 30,000. Some old and frail soldiers originally recruited for self-protection can be retired, and even some officers and soldiers who are not physically strong enough to explode can be transferred to the army.
"I think we can further reduce the number to 20,000. In the final analysis, it is useless to have so many troops now." Bai Lang said, no matter if it is 30,400, 40,000 or 20,000, if Cao Cao's entire army goes south to attack Jingzhou, it will not be stopped.
living.
Cao Cao's army can mobilize at least 400,000 men, ten times that of Liu Xuande, and it would be good if Liu Biao's soldiers and generals don't hinder him. Bai Lang even made it clear that if Cao Cao goes south to the south, most of the Jingzhou civil and military forces will surrender directly, which he thinks is the case.
Cao Ren did not move after suffering a loss, but when Liu Xuande replaced the old and weak, he and Li Dian mobilized 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack the new country. Liu Xuande went to see Shan Fu and asked, "How should we welcome Fu?"
He said: "If they come with all their troops, Fancheng will be empty and we can take advantage of the opportunity to seize it." Xuande asked for advice. Fu Fuer whispered so and so. Xuande was overjoyed and made preparations in advance. Xuande sent out troops to meet the enemy. Two
When the enemy was facing each other, Zhao Yun rode out to summon his general to answer. Cao Ren ordered Li Dian to march out and confront Zhao Yun. After ten rounds of fighting, Li Dian expected to be unable to defeat him, so he rode back to the formation.
Bailang Hengshang immediately stood next to Xuande behind the formation and nodded, "Zilong's martial arts are becoming more and more proficient, but Li Mancheng didn't expect that he could actually walk a few rounds now." However, this day's double combat was completed, Li Dian
He led his troops and retreated directly.
The next day, Cao Ren marched forward with the sound of drums and formed a formation. He asked Xuande, "Do you know my formation?" Shan Fu went up to a high place to watch it and said to Xuande, "This is the eight-door golden lock formation. The eight gates are the same."
Synonyms: Xiu, Sheng, Shang, Du, Jing, Death, Jing, Kai. For example, if you open the door from Shengmen or Jingmen, it will be auspicious to enter; from Shangmen, Jingmen, if you close the door and enter, you will be injured; from Dumen, death
If you attack someone from the Shangsheng Gate in the southeast corner and go out from the Jingmen Gate in the west, your formation will be in chaos."
Bai Lang looked at Cao Ren with strange eyes, "I never thought that Zixiao actually had such ability, but what kind of formation is there with the colorful cloth? I can lead the elite cavalry to defeat it with one blow in any direction." Bai Lang's words also made Xuan When De and Shan Fu heard this, they had twitching expressions on their faces. "Mr. Xuande, I'll let you go this time. No more. Three hundred riders are enough! Remember to take advantage of the situation to cover up!" After saying this, Bailang urged. To move the green pheasant, it was just a matter of one move, and the three hundred elite cavalry behind him followed up with big flags.
Bailang came out of the battle, wearing a black tiger pattern robe, chainmail, an eight-sided white tiger helmet, and carrying a cloud water gun. Bailang led 300 riders and didn't care about life or death, and randomly chose the closest one. He rushed in from the direction of Bailang. This charge was like a roaring wave, and Cao Ren in the middle could not stop him at all. No one dared to stand as an enemy in front of Bailang. He and the three hundred riders behind him turned into white tigers and roared into the eight gates. Golden Lock Array.
The so-called gate is not worth mentioning. Cao Jun who was running around was stabbed to death in front of Bai Lang. Bai Lang went straight to Cao Ren. Cao Ren hurriedly escaped from the formation. Xuande and Shan Fu also sighed while watching the battle. "The bravery of Yuzhu is rare in the world. The so-called formation..." Seeing that Cao Ren had fled far away, Bailang immediately turned around and charged in again. Cao's army was defeated. Cao Ren returned to the camp feeling ashamed, "How can the formation be trapped?" Live here and wait for the brave generals..."
Cao Ren said: "Go to rob the stronghold tonight. If we win, we will make a plan; if not, we will retreat back to Fancheng." Li Dian said: "No. Liu Bei must be prepared." Ren said: "If you are so suspicious, why use troops? !" So he did not listen to Li Dian's words. He led his troops to the front line and sent Li Dian to the rear to rob the stronghold at the second watch of the night.
But it was said that Shan Fuzheng and Xuande were discussing matters in the stronghold, and suddenly the wind blew up. Fu said: "Tonight Cao Ren will come to rob the stronghold." Xuande said: "Why should we attack him?" Fu smiled and said: "I have made a budget. ." Then the secret distribution was completed. Bai Lang was also in the stronghold. Hearing these words, he just laughed, "That's all." Bai Lang himself was lying on the cloud bed, letting Cao Ren come and rob the camp. So far. At the second watch, Cao Ren's soldiers approached the stronghold and saw fires all around the stronghold, burning the fence. Cao Ren knew that he was prepared and ordered his troops to withdraw urgently.
On the road, they met Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei. After losing two battles, they tried their best to cross the river, only to find that Fancheng had been captured by Guan Yu. They had no choice but to break away from Li Dian and escape back to Xuchang. They inquired along the way and learned that this was a plan planned by Liu Bei's military advisor Shan Fu. "Originally, Liu Bei was defeated mostly because he lacked intelligence. Now the talented people have voted for Liu Bei, and Bailangguan Zhang is his pawn, making it difficult for Liu Bei to control him." Cao Ren lamented but still fled back to Xuchang to tell Cao Cao one by one.
Liu Xuande entered Fancheng and was quite happy. Bai Lang yawned and followed Liu Bei casually. Liu Bei had adopted an adopted son, Liu Feng, and Bai Lang thought it was good because Liu Bei's legitimate son Adou was still an infant. With Liu Bei's Under normal circumstances, his son should be that old. Bai Lang pretended not to hear what Guan Yu said, but he could see that Guan Yu didn't like Liu Bei as his adopted son very much and wasn't happy about it.
In the end, Zhao Yun was left with 3,000 infantry to guard Fancheng, while Liu Bei led his generals back to Xinye.
When Cao Cao heard what Cao Ren said about the loss of troops and generals, he was not angry at all. "With the courage of Yun Chang Yuzhu, your defeat is normal. It's just that in the past Xuande had Yun Chang and could not make full use of it, but now there are wise men who can."
I'm planning, but I don't know who this person is?" Cheng Yu said with a smile: "This is not just a blessing. This person was fond of learning fencing when he was young. In the last years of Zhongping, he tried to avenge others and killed people. He was caught by the officials with his hair and face painted. I asked him his name.
If he didn't answer, the officials were tied to the carts and marched around the market beating drums. People in the market knew him, but those who knew him didn't dare to say anything, but his companions stole it and rescued him. So he changed his name and fled, went to school at every turn, and visited famous teachers.
, I tried to talk with Sima Hui. This person is Xu Shu of Yingchuan, with a courtesy name of Zhi. Shan Fu is his surname."
