At least on the surface, or in the eyes of laymen, this war was quite lively. But as time went by, many people began to realize that there was something strange about it. On the surface, Cao Peng continued to send more troops to Yiyang, but in reality, he had no control over Yiyang.
A sexual attack, but he refused to launch... In this way, the fierce battle became more like a game, which made Liu Bei, who was sitting in Linxiang, feel a little bad.
Could it be that Cao Peng had another agenda?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Samoko gathered 8,000 Wuxi barbarian warriors in Hutou Mountain and marched out in a mighty force.
Eight thousand people!
It doesn't sound like a lot.
There are more than 100,000 Wuxi tribesmen, but only 8,000 people participated in the battle?
But in fact, these eight thousand people already represent the entire elite of the Wuxi Barbarians. How many old, weak, sick and disabled are there among the one hundred thousand tribesmen? How many underage children are there, as well as those women and children who do not know how to fight? If we exclude them
These, the real warriors of the Wuxi Barbarians, may only be 20,000 to 30,000 people. Samoko's sudden deployment of 8,000 people was already a limit for the Wuxi Barbarians.
In the words of the old Barbarian King: "Shasha, what you took away is the present and future of Wuxi Barbarians.
If Uncle Liu Huang can achieve great things in the future, Wuxi Barbarians will never have a chance to grow. But if you lose, you will ruin Wuxi Barbarians' present and future... So, after arriving in Yiyang, you must be more careful.
Fight to be the first in everything and act as a pawn for others. If there is danger, consider preserving yourself first. These eight thousand sons are the foundation for us Wuxi barbarians to gain a foothold in Jingnan."
Did Samoko listen to what the old barbarian king said?
Maybe only he knows it.
But at this time, Samoko was in high spirits.
After leaving Hutou Mountain, we headed north and soon arrived at Yuanshui. According to Shamoko's plan, he would lead his troops down the Yuanshui and approach Yuannan.
Once Yuannan is attacked, Cao's army will inevitably panic.
At that time, after he has disturbed the situation in Yuannan, he can go north to cross the water and capture Linyuan; he can go south to escape into Xuefeng Mountain, echoing Yiyang from afar.
In this way, the danger of Yiyang will naturally be lifted.
This was Shamoko's idea. At the same time, he also sent someone to report to Liu Bei, asking him to try to cooperate when the time came.
If this dispatch of troops is successful... the Wuxi Barbarians will definitely develop further and become the leader of the entire Wuling Barbarians. At that time, he will also be the legitimate Wuling Barbarian King! He did remember the old Barbarian King's warning, but did not go to it.
In his heart. In his heart, Cao Peng is just a little baby, why should he be so nervous? If he meets him, he will be killed...
The Wuxi barbarian army marched in mighty force and arrived at Qiulongtan two days later.
This Qiulong Beach is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Yuanshui River. The Yuanshui River suddenly turns twice here, like a coiled dragon, forming a very peculiar terrain. It is higher in the south and lower in the north, and the beach head is flat. The flowing water here suddenly becomes gentle.
It is a good place for garrison camps.
From here, continue traveling eastward and you will see Yuannan County in two days.
When we arrived at Qiulongtan, it was already dark.
Samoko then ordered to camp at Qiulongtan and rest for one night before moving on.
Someone said to him: "Xiao Wang, the terrain here is flat and the view is wide, which is most suitable for cavalry attacks... If Cao Jun makes a sneak attack here, I am afraid it will be detrimental to us."
Shamoko laughed loudly when he heard this and said, "Don't I know that Cao's army has the advantage of cavalry?
But you see, it is high in the south and low in the north, and we are just holding high. If Cao Jun makes a sneak attack, he must cross the river... Although the terrain here is flat, the land is soft, and the cavalry cannot charge at all. If they really want to
In a sneak attack, they must come and go without any delay."
Although Wuxi Manchu is located in a barbaric wilderness, Samoko has also benefited greatly from Liu Biao's military rule over the past ten years.
He had read some military books. Even among the Wuxi barbarian tribes, there were many Han people who were fleeing the war and had the ability to read and write. This also made Samoko different from many barbarians. On the one hand, he despised Han culture.
, on the other hand, they were influenced by Han culture.
He talks eloquently and is full of confidence.
It leaves people around me speechless.
Now that Shamoko has made up his mind, it's hard to say anything else.
So the Wuxi barbarians set up camp on Qiulong Beach and settled down to rest. Samoko was a good drinker. After settling in, he ordered people to get wine and drank as much as he wanted. This meal lasted until Xu Shi
.Shamoko was very drunk, lying on the couch and snoring like thunder.
The night is getting deeper and deeper.
At midnight, it started to rain lightly.
This is also the unique climate of Jingnan. It is sunny during the day, drizzles at night, and the weather is unpredictable.
Shamoko had a sweet dream!
He dreamed that he was under the city of Yiyang, showing off his might, capturing Cao Peng alive, and defeating Cao's army... All the sons of the Han family looked up to him with admiration. Liu Bei even personally took off his robe and put it on him.
.In Yiyang City, Liu Bei held a banquet.
During the banquet, countless Han daughters sang and danced in front of him, showing off their graceful graces, which made Shamoko laugh...
"Shasha, do you dare to drink?"
Liu Bei asked with a smile on his face.
Shamoko held a beautiful girl's waist with one hand, raised a glass with the other, and said boldly: "Uncle Huang has invited me, how can I refuse to do it?"
"In this way, when I build the building for you, please drink it to your heart's content."
Puffy!
As the excited sound of building was heard, Shamoko picked up the wine bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and then laughed endlessly...
"Xiao Wang wakes up, Xiao Wang wakes up!"
A sudden urgent call came to his ears, disturbing Shamoko's sweet dream.
He suddenly opened his eyes and turned over to sit up.
I saw a few followers standing in front of the couch with panicked expressions: "Xiao Wang, there is a sneak attack by Cao's army."
"What?"
Shamoko was startled and suddenly woke up from the alcohol.
I could only hear faint shouts of killing coming from outside the big tent, and there were even rumbles of war drums that kept ringing...
Shamoko said angrily: "Since the dog thief is seeking death, don't blame me for being rude."
As he spoke, he jumped off the bed. However, he was not fully awake from the hangover, so he stumbled. Fortunately, the people around him had strong hands and supported him, so he did not fall to the ground.
"Hurry up and wear it with me!"
Several followers quickly fetched clothes and armor for Samoko and dressed him properly. Samoko strode out with disheveled hair and bare feet. Next to the big tent door, he picked up the heavy iron caltrop and carried it.
Rushed out of the camp. At this time, the Wuxi Barbarian camp was in chaos. In the distance, there was a constant flow of ships on the Yuanshui River! There were dozens of large ships crisscrossing the river, sending a steady stream of soldiers to Qiulong Beach.
These Cao soldiers were all wearing black armor and long swords, and their faces were smeared with black ash. They looked particularly ferocious in the night.
Across the river, the lights are bright!
Groups of soldiers and horses were arrayed on the river beach.
Boats shuttled back and forth to pick up Cao's army from the other side of the river.
When these Cao soldiers got off the boat, they immediately launched a charge towards the Wuxi barbarian camp. One of the generals, holding a hundred-refined dragon bird sword, ran through the crowd. The sword danced and the cloud of swords rolled, and only five people were killed.
The Xi barbarians left in embarrassment. Although Samoko had read military books, he was not considered a master of military arts. When setting up the camp, they did not even set up defensive items such as antlers and horses, so Cao's army rushed into the camp at once.
The Wuxi barbarians are brave and warlike!
But more often than not, their fighting methods are without any rules.
In the mountains, the Wuxi barbarians took advantage of their long-term living in the mountains, so they could often achieve great victories. However, once they lost their geographical advantage, the Wuxi barbarians' fighting methods became extremely primitive. Their weapons, armor, etc.
They are all very backward. When attacking, they rely solely on their courage. Once they encounter danger, they will quickly lose their fighting spirit and then run away... If they are in the mountains, they can use their familiarity with the terrain to wear down the opponent and then turn back.
One blow. But at Qiulongtan, the Wuxi barbarians turned into a mess.
Samoko ran barefoot on the ground, waving the caltrops in his hands. Every time he struck, one person would be killed.
He shouted loudly: "Don't panic, just hold on!"
Although he was highly skilled in martial arts, he was unable to stabilize the situation. Moreover, although he was hungover, although he killed more than ten Cao Jun soldiers in succession, instead of causing Cao Jun to retreat, he aroused Cao Jun's anger. Cao Jun swarmed up and ordered Sha
Moko gradually became unable to resist.
At this time, the general of Cao's army rushed to Samoko and without saying a word, he slashed with his sword.
Samoko hurriedly raised the thorn bone to meet him. He heard a loud clang sound and broke the sword of General Cao. However, the huge power on the sword made Samoko retreat several times in a row.
Step. My legs were a little weak, but my head suddenly became much clearer.
"General Cao, do you dare to use your first name?"
That officer, General Cao, was nearly nine feet tall and had a burly build.
He has a face as heavy as jujube, silkworm eyebrows, and red phoenix eyes, and is majestic. He had just fought with Shamoko. Although he took the advantage of taking the initiative, he did not gain much benefit. On the contrary, Shamoko had huge caltrops on his bones.
He was so tense that he almost lost the sword in his hand.
After hearing Shamoko's inquiry, General Cao said sternly: "Wei Yan, a certain Lingyang school captain, give me another blow!"
The Dragon Bird's big sword turned around, and the light of the sword flashed.
Shamoko didn't know who Wei Yan was, but he didn't dare to underestimate him.
He cheered up and struck Wei Yan with his iron spurs.
In terms of military force alone, Wei Yan is not Samoko's opponent, or even half as good. Samoko's martial arts skills are almost beyond the level of a first-rate general, and coupled with his natural divine power, it is really not something that ordinary people can deal with. However,
Samoko was very drunk at night, so he accepted the fight in a hurry and was still hungover. The caltrop bones were strong and heavy, but after fighting for a long time, he could not help but feel weak and weak.
Wei Yan knew that in a contest of strength, he was no match!
But how can he be a kind person?
Wei Yan was also a fierce general in his early years. Although he never reached the level of a super first-class general, he was already a near-superior master.
The knife skills are exquisite, and with the proper maintenance over the years, the Qi pulse is long.
Since you can't compete in terms of strength, then use sword skills to win... Then, Wei Yan's sword skills suddenly changed, changing from the previous open and close methods, and used small and cruel moves. Longque's broadsword flew,
But instead of confronting the caltrops head-on, the swords and knives followed a treacherous path, killing Samoko. Gradually, he could no longer resist, and he couldn't stop breathing. Samoko let out thunderous roars from time to time, but Wei Yan couldn't help but follow.
Wei Yan kept shortening the distance, suddenly thrust the dragon bird ring into the ground with his backhand, pulled out the saber from his waist, and fought hand to hand. Samoko's iron caltrop bones were long and heavy, but once they lost the advantage of space, they immediately became
Bind your hands and feet.
However, it is obviously not easy for Wei Yan to kill Shamoko.
This is because although Samoko is huge in stature, he is nimble in his steps and has rough skin and thick flesh.
Wei Yan hit Shamoko several times, but failed to achieve his goal. Instead, Shamoko counterattacked several times and was almost seriously injured. The two of them struck each other with swords and sticks. Wei Yan could not defeat Shamoko, but Shamoke
Mo Ke had no choice but to stop Wei Yan. However, as a result, the Wuxi barbarians were leaderless. On the other side of the river, another group of soldiers and horses came across the river... A general stood on the deck of the ship, commanding the soldiers and horses to rush onto the river beach.
This person is none other than the general stationed in Yi Dao, Wenpin.

"Master, where do you think we should start to conquer Jingnan?"
Fazheng asked leisurely.
Cao Peng thought for a while and immediately replied: "Of course we want to capture Changsha."
"Haha, Changsha will naturally be captured, but there must be a breakthrough.
Liu Pan has been running Changsha for many years and has a solid foundation. Now he gives Changsha to Liu Bei... It seems that Liu Bei's foundation is not stable, but as long as Liu Pan is used well, Liu Bei can command Changsha. Besides, Liu Xuande is just a ploy.
Gao Miao is very good at winning over people who win people's hearts. He has been in Jingzhou for so many years, although he was defeated by the young master in the end, he still built his own power.
Jingnan has a complicated terrain and is plagued by mountain barbarians.
Liu Bei was able to recruit the Wuxi barbarians. On the one hand, it was because the Wuxi barbarians were easy to win over. On the other hand, Liu Bei used the Wuxi barbarians to express his attitude to the Jingnan mountain barbarians. If he completely conquered the Jingnan mountain barbarians,
If the young master wants to conquer Jingnan, he will face many difficulties.
Jiangdong, don’t worry!
Liu Pan is also not the enemy of the young master.
If we want to conquer Jingnan, we must first pacify the mountain barbarians... Only by letting those mountain barbarians calm down, and then conquer Liu Bei, will we be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."
When he first arrived in Hanshou, Fazheng showed Cao Peng three strategies in Jingnan.
The first of these three strategies is to make the Jingnan mountain barbarians surrender...
At this point, Liu Bei had already taken the lead. He spent a lot of money to make friends with the Wuxi barbarians, and also carried out a large-scale immigration in Wuling, leaving two counties in Chenyang and Feitou barbarians to live in, and released enough goodwill. The problem is, the same
Cao Peng would definitely disdain to use this method. So what should we do?
Fazheng said: "Liu Bei is now making friends with mountain barbarians, which is quite effective.
But if the young master takes action now, it is not too late... The mountain barbarians are suspicious and cunning, and will not surrender easily. Moreover, most mountain barbarians seek advantages and avoid disasters. When there are advantages, they will rush to the front bravely. Once they encounter danger, they will definitely stop moving forward.
. Therefore, it is thought that if you want to conquer Jingnan, you must first capture the mountain barbarians; if you want to capture the mountain barbarians, you must first capture the Wuxi barbarians. If you defeat the Wuxi barbarians, the mountain barbarians will naturally waver, and then stop and wait and see.
At that time, if the young master uses gentle methods and gives small benefits, the mountain barbarians will definitely surrender."
"But the Wuxi barbarians are cunning."
Cao Peng said distressedly: "These people have lived in the mountains all year round. It is difficult to be effective if they go into the mountains to encircle and suppress them... But I don't know how to teach me filial piety?"
"Since it's difficult to fight in the mountains, let's lure them out...
As long as Wuxi Man is defeated, it will be like breaking off one of Liu Bei's arms. When he is in Jingnan, how can he fight against the young master with the little foundation left by Liu Pan?"
Fazheng's idea is very clear, which is to first attack the mountain barbarians and cut off their arms.
Thinking about it, it makes sense.
Liu Bei had mountain barbarians to help him. If the barbarians continued to harass him during the confrontation, they would definitely cause huge losses to Cao Peng.
Lead him out and fight!
This is Fazheng's strategy...
At the same time, Cao Cao has assembled his troops and is ready to attack at any time.
Cao Peng didn't want the barbarians to hold back Cao Jun at this time. In this case, he simply planned a big game! After Cao Peng discussed this idea with Xun Yu, Xun Yu immediately expressed his approval. In order to ensure that Cao Peng
Peng's battle went smoothly this time, and Xun Yu even took it upon himself to draw 5,000 troops from Lu Zhao and Le Jin respectively, giving a total of 10,000 troops to Cao Peng's command.
Only Xun Yu has such power!
In this operation, Xun Yu delegated power to Cao Peng to the greatest extent. He was only responsible for dispatching baggage and troops for Cao Peng to command...
As Wen hired troops to cross the river, the Wuxi barbarians could no longer hold on.
Shamoko was also panicked. After fighting with Wei Yan for more than thirty rounds, he suddenly jumped out of the circle and dragged away the caltrop bones.
Some of his followers tried their best to stop Wei Yan and brought Shamoko's mount.
"Xiao Wang, don't bother fighting, let's break through the encirclement!"
Shamoko agreed, got on his horse, urged his horse and drove away.
Wei Yan killed six Wuxi barbarians in a row, but saw Samoko fleeing far south in the light of the fire. He couldn't help being extremely angry, stamping his feet and roaring.
Qiulongtan is not suitable for cavalry charge, it is indeed a headache.
If there were war horses, how could Nashamoko be allowed to escape?
but……
Can you really escape?
Wei Yan sneered: Youxue set up an ambush on all sides in order to catch all of you barbarians... Now that you're here, you want to leave?
hey-hey!
Thinking of this, Wei Yan's lips curled up, then he turned around and entered the battlefield again.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++
Samoko rode his horse and fled in panic.
Behind him, Wuxi barbarian warriors followed closely, retreating all the way towards Hutou Mountain.
The shouts of death behind him gradually weakened.
Only then did Shamoko let out a sigh of relief and reined in his horse.
Looking back, he saw that the number of Wuxi barbarian warriors who had followed him to escape from the battlefield was less than a thousand! Samoko couldn't help but feel sad, and even had the urge to turn around and enter the battlefield again.
"Xiao Wang, what should we do?"
Shamoko looked at the exhausted Wuxi barbarian warriors, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Go to Xuefeng Mountain!"
"Xuefeng Mountain?"
"Uncle Liu Huang has sent people to meet him at Xuefeng Mountain. When the time comes, we will join Uncle Liu and come back to avenge today!"
Back to Hutou Mountain?
Where is that face!
At first, my father did not agree to send troops, but Shamoko insisted.
Unexpectedly, almost the entire army was wiped out before reaching Yiyang. If we go back at this time and want revenge, we don't know how many years and months it will take.
With the temper of the old barbarian king, he would definitely not send any more troops.
After all, the population of the Wuxi barbarians is only that large. Eight thousand people are gone... Where is there any remaining strength to continue sending troops? Only by asking Liu Bei for help can we get revenge. Thinking of this, Samoko turned his horse's head and said sternly: "
My sons, we have suffered a great humiliation today. If we are not avenged, how can we have the honor to return home? Let us go to Xuefeng Mountain and fight to the death with those Han dogs, so that we can wash away today's humiliation."
"Revenge!"
"Wash away the shame..."
The Wuxi barbarian warriors could not help but feel excited and cheered.
Shamoko nodded and was about to give the order to set off. At this moment, he suddenly heard the rumble of war drums in the distance and the sound of thundering iron hooves. From the darkness, a group of cavalry suddenly shot out. The cavalry were all uniform.
A good horse from Xiliang Dayuan, a knight on horseback with light armor, short crossbow and long sword.
At the head is a general, with a golden helmet and golden armor, and a big sword in his hand.
Under the firelight, he rushed towards the Wuxi barbarians at the head of the horse, his gray beard moving with the wind.
"How dare you, the little barbarian thief, offend my young master's majesty!
Your Mr. Huang has been waiting here for a long time, but he still hasn't dismounted and surrendered to me."
Shamoko was startled and hurriedly danced up with his thorns. However, he saw the veteran general coming down the mountain like a tiger, and his horse was like a dragon out of the sea. In the blink of an eye, he came to Shamoko. Huang Zhongduan sat on the horse, eyes wide open, and wielding a big knife in his hand.
A strong wind blew up, and with a roar like thunder, it struck Samoko head-on.
Shamoke raised a thorn bone to meet him, and there was a loud bang! Shamoke felt his arms were numb, his ears were buzzing, and stars were shining in his eyes.
This old man has so much strength!
A pair of hands, the tiger's mouth burst open, and blood dripped.
The war horse under his crotch even more screamed and retreated continuously.
Shamoko tried his best to rein in his horse, but before he could recover, Huang Zhong arrived again.
"Little Manzi, you're so good at it, just give me another blow."
As he spoke, Huang Zhong suddenly stood up on horseback, slashed down with his sword, and the strong wind became stronger. The sword tore through the air, emitting a harsh and sharp roar, and a faint afterimage appeared in Samoko.
out of the corner of his eye. Samoko was so frightened that he quickly blocked it again. He only heard the clanging sound. In the blink of an eye, Huang Zhong slashed three times in a row. Samoko used all his strength to block the three swords.
Blocking means blocking...
But Samoko's head was already dead.
It was as if the arm no longer belonged to him, and the caltrop bones could no longer be held and fell off to the ground.
"Old man, good strength!"
"Boy, you're not bad either..."
Huang Zhong laughed and urged his horse forward.
The moment the two horses stepped on each other wrongly, he suddenly pushed the knife back with his backhand and slashed back.
At this time, Shamoko had no strength to dodge. He watched the dazzling sword shining in his face, but his body was unable to dodge.
I secretly screamed in my heart: My life is over!
Unexpectedly, a look of intolerance suddenly flashed across Huang Zhong's face, and he pushed the sword to slap him. With a snap, he knocked Shamoke off his horse.
Shamoko was thrown so hard that stars appeared in his eyes, and he struggled to get up.
However, Huang Zhong had already turned his horse's head and came to the front. As soon as he dropped the big knife in his hand, the back of the knife pressed down on Samoko's shoulder and pushed down, pinning Samoko to the ground.
"Boy, if you know what's going on, you'd better be honest, otherwise don't blame a certain family for being ruthless under the knife!"
The cold blade pressed against his neck, causing Samoko to wake up immediately.
"With only this little ability, I dare to help the tyrants..." Huang Zhong sneered, and suddenly his anger dropped from his Dantian, and he shouted sternly: "Wuxi Mountain man, listen to the truth, you little king has fallen into my hands, why don't you give up your weapon immediately?
