Cui Niupi was not happy when he heard it, "What did brother say? How could it be so easy? I racked my brains and tongues for this matter and was almost deceived."
Seeing Guan Yu beside him, Cui Niubi didn't dare to say any more.
Zhou Yuanfu was also afraid that he would speak carelessly, so he said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, go and rectify the army and horses, and count the guards and combatable soldiers. We will have to show our faces at night."
When Cui Niupi saw Guan Yu go, he recounted what happened at Dong Zhuo's place with great joy. He couldn't help but feel very happy when he talked about his own brilliance.
"How about it, brother? I can handle this errand well. Can we get half of the horse? I just want a horse head." Cui Niubi said deliberately.
Zhou Yuanfu laughed dumbly, "Okay, you are still greedy for horse meat. From now on, you can ride this horse. You can escape from the battlefield faster."
"No, this horse will be wasted if I leave it in my hands. It's better for the eldest brother to ride it. I'm not the sixth child. I keep all the good things to myself. I'm the best. I want to give all the good things to the eldest brother. If the eldest brother is serious
If you can't bear it, just give me back the five gold cakes from last time." Cui Niupi said with a shy face.
Zhou Yuanfu knew that he usually spoke inappropriately, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it, "Okay, this horse will be yours from now on. Go to bed quickly, there will be a big battle tonight."
"Hey, I'll ride for a few days first, and my brother will go to bed first. I still have some things to do." Cui Niupi ran away mysteriously.
…
Rebel camp.
The weather cleared up, but the mood of Beigong Boyu and others became gloomy. Everyone was worried and unwilling to face the prophecy made by Yan Zhong.
"The sky has cleared up today. When Yan Gong left that day, he made it clear that a big star would fall, and it would be time for us to withdraw our troops. Do you have any good ideas? Should we withdraw our troops?" Beigong Boyu asked.
"Now that people are in panic, I think it would be a good idea to withdraw the army while this is the case." Bian Zhang stepped forward and said.
The other generals also agreed, saying that the morale of the soldiers in the camp had been lost, so it was better to retreat and come back next spring.
Beigong Boyu saw Han Sui frowning and not saying anything, so he asked, "What do you think of Wen Yue?"
"From what I see, our army is currently in a dilemma. Retreating is indeed the best strategy, but we need to carefully consider when to retreat. What Yan Gong said that day was very clever." Han Sui said.
"Oh, how to make a trick?" Beigong Boyu asked doubtfully.
Han Sui stroked his beard and said: "He said that General Wenhou's star will set a few days late, but he did not specify how many days. From what I have seen, although such a big star sets is rare, it will eventually happen. If we wait a few days,
If it drops again in ten days and a half month, or in one or two months, it will already be next year."
Beigong Boyu also frowned when he heard this, "I have ignored this matter, but now that Yan Gong is not here, how can we determine the exact time of the big star's fall?"
"As the saying goes, there is a man who can be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no man who can guard against a thief for a thousand days. Let's not worry about when the big star will fall. Let's go back to Liangzhou first." Bian Zhang added.
Han Sui shook his head and said: "If this is the case, all the soldiers will always be uneasy. If we go back in the spring next year and catch the big star falling, we will be defeated without a fight."
Bian Zhang felt that he had lost face and asked angrily: "In your opinion, how can we have both?"
"I have a plan to reassure the soldiers and retreat calmly!" Han Sui said with a slight smile.
When Beigong Boyu saw this, his eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Why do Wen Yue teach me?"
"We can choose a high ground and use a trebuchet to launch fireballs into the camp. It will look like a big star falling at night, haha." Han Sui laughed.
"Ah, this..." Beigong Boyu pondered.
"Ah, this..." Bian Zhang pondered.
"Of course, this matter can easily be detected as a forgery. So we have to make arrangements in advance. Only those who are night-blind will be selected to guard the camp tonight, so that they can only see a vague shadow. When we discuss it tomorrow, we will take advantage of this opportunity.
Retreat." Han Sui made further plans.
"If this is the case, if the army takes the opportunity to attack, I will die without a burial place!" Bian Zhang said, beating his chest and stamping his feet.
"It doesn't matter, just be on guard in the former military camp. If the officers and soldiers really dare to make a sneak attack, they probably won't be able to wait until now." Han Sui explained.
Beigong Boyu made up his mind at this time, "Okay, let's follow Wen Yue's plan. Order the people in the former military camp not to take off their armor, and the horses not to take off their saddles, to strengthen their defenses. The remaining camps will be arranged according to Wen Yue's plan, and others will throw stones.
As for the matter, let Wen Yue arrange the manpower."
The generals gave orders and acted on their own.
…
It was night, the stars were shining brightly, and everything was silent.
All the troops have lurked to the designated positions according to the plan, except Zhou Yuanfu's troops. Liu Bei's 500 Xiangyong lurked to the front 500 steps away from the forward camp, followed 500 steps behind by Tao Qian's troops. All the troops were ranked first.
, Mahler's mouth fell silent...
However, sounds of play came from Zhou Yuanfu's army tent. Cui Niubi actually got a Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and Fei pestered Guan Yu to teach him a few moves.
"Lao Liu, just teach me three moves so that I can show off your power in front of the battle array!" Cui Niupi said with a shy face.
Guan Yu repeatedly waved his hand, pointed at Cui Niubi and said: "Let me tell you clearly first, where did your sword come from? It is said that such a horse and such a sword are unique, how did you get them all? Even if you asked a rogue to help you
I made another one, this knife weighs 82 pounds, how can you handle it?"
Cui Niubi chuckled, "The old man looks down on people. If you can do it with this knife, I can do it." As he said that, he started spinning the long knife in his hand like a hot wheel.
Zhou Yuanfu and Guan Yu both couldn't laugh or cry when they met. They couldn't understand why Cui Niupi was so good at wielding a knife. Zhou Yuanfu even suspected that Cui Niupi had hidden it before. After all, most people can't even lift an eighty-two kilogram long knife.
.
"Brother Cui, can you lend me this sword for a look?" Zhou Yuanfu asked.
Cui Niubi threw the knife over generously, "Brother, take care of it if you want!"
Zhou Yuanfu hurriedly put on his posture, fearing that he would not be able to catch the knife, but when he took it, he felt that it was not heavy. After a closer look, it turned out that Cui Niubi had actually made a wooden knife. The wooden knife was painted with colors, so it looked similar to the Qinglong Yanyue Knife.
Same.
"Wooden sword! No wonder!" Zhou Yuanfu said.
Guan Yu also hurriedly stepped forward to check, and laughed out loud after reading it.
"You two, please don't underestimate this wooden sword. It is also made of Qinggang wood, and is the same material as the wooden shield. This wood is hard, and apart from being unable to kill anyone, it is basically no different from your sword." Cui Niubi
He said unconvinced.
The two laughed again when they heard this.
"Brother Cui, if you can't kill someone with your sword, then what's the use of it?" Zhou Yuanfu said jokingly.
Cui Niubi felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, and he hesitated and said: "I secretly observed that every time my elder brother fought, he always knocked people down without hurting their lives. Although Lao Liu was extremely skilled in martial arts, he always killed in a fight.
It's all bloody after it's over. Comparing the two, I'd still like to follow my elder brother's example and just knock people unconscious. Why bother fighting life and death?"
Both Zhou Yuanfu and Zhou Yuanfu stopped laughing after hearing this. Zhou Yuanfu thought to himself, he only has one electric prod. If he had extra, I would be willing to lend you one because of your bodhisattva heart, but it's a pity that I don't have any.
"Brother Cui's words are very kind. Guan is good at killing and has no compassion. In comparison, I am really ashamed." Guan Yu cupped his fists towards Cui Niubi and said.
"Don't, don't," Cui Niubi hurriedly waved his hands, "You, Zhang Liao and others are all generals. On the battlefield, only rivers of blood can scare the enemy. This is a small road. Every time I charge, you are in front.
, I’m just picking up a bargain from behind, it’s not that noble.”
Guan Yu nodded, "That being the case, Guan will stop hiding his clumsiness. I'll teach you a few tricks to knock the enemy general unconscious, so that Brother Cui can save his life."
Cui Niupi was overjoyed when his goal was achieved. Zhang Ren was the laziest in teaching them at that time, but when he heard that Guan Yu was teaching the method of beating a sap to save his life, he learned it very carefully.
"This first move is called a head-on slash. The sword is slashed towards the enemy general, and the enemy general will inevitably use a weapon to carry it. But this move is a feint. If you change the straight cut into a flat cut, and directly hit the opponent's head with the back of the sword, you will naturally be able to do it.
Knock the opponent unconscious. Of course, you have a wooden sword, and you can also use a blade. The changes in your moves should be more casual. Just don't clash with the opponent's weapon..."
One is willing to teach and the other is willing to learn, completely forgetting the upcoming war.
Zhou Yuanfu watched from the side and nodded secretly. It is rare to see Cui Niupi learn so carefully. Most of them are opportunistic. It is really gratifying to be so diligent this time. If he can really learn Guan Yu's true skills, although he can't count on him to charge into the battle, but
It should be possible to get a real or fake Guan Yu.
"Okay, just these three moves. As long as you practice them diligently, ordinary generals are no match for you, and you can show off your authority in front of the battle." Guan Yu finally finished teaching, and then came over to Zhou Yuanfu and said, "Brother, we are
Isn’t it time to set off?”
Zhou Yuanfu nodded and said, "Even if we don't go, Liu Bei's ability may be enough to defeat him in one fell swoop. However, to be on the safe side, I contacted Dong Zhuo's men so that if anything happens to Liu Bei, we can go to the rescue."
"
But Cui Niubi came over and said, "I'm going to go with you. I haven't improved my martial arts yet. I need to practice for a while."
Zhou Yuanfu and Guan Yu looked at each other and laughed. They knew Cui Niubi was always lazy, so they didn't take it seriously.
…
In front of the rebel camp, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun all put on white cloaks and looked at the enemy camp. Liu Bei was a natural general after all. Seeing that it was not easy for men and horses to hide in the snow, he prepared a large amount of white cloth. At this time
Both men and horses were covered, making it extremely difficult to identify them in the snow.
"Brother, are we being a little reckless here? Even if the second brother doesn't lie to us, that boy from Zhou Cang is too sneaky. Will the second brother be fooled by him again?" Zhang Fei complained dissatisfied.
"Don't worry, Yide. I have weighed this matter repeatedly. First, Zhou Yuanfu's troops have also come out in full force. The spies have already reported back, and his troops seem to have gone deeper. After a while, a meteor flashed across, it should be
Everyone from all sides took action together. Secondly, our ambush is relatively hidden. If the fall of the big star is fake, the worst we can do is evacuate quietly. Captain Tao's troops are also behind, and they can always keep us safe." Liu Bei obviously said.
After careful consideration.
Seeing that Zhang Fei wanted to persuade him again, Liu Bei waved his hand and said: "In addition, a big star will fall soon. Let's not charge yet and let Zhou Cang's people take the lead. We can also suffer less losses, haha."
