Just when Yan Xing and Zhang Ji were planning to attack Yuan Yao at night, Liu Xun was confronting Zhang Xun, Liu Pi and others in the tent.
As soon as Liu Xun came back, Liu Pi, the leader of the Yellow Turbans, directly remonstrated with Yuan Yao, saying that Liu Xun was intentionally rebellious and had no regard for Yuan Yao's safety. Instead of returning to rescue his lord, he kept fighting with Zhao Yun. Cheng could be said to have deliberate intentions.
Bad, and suspected of being treasonous and immoral.
Liu Xun was not polite and opened his mouth to scold Liu Pi!
He made excuses, saying that if he returned his troops, he would only be sitting in a trapped situation. When the time comes, his army would still be defeated by Cao Jun and Tao Jun. Only by opening a passage on Zhao Yun's side could Yuan Yao and others escape.
Hope of ascension.
As for Liu Pi, Liu Xun also viciously attacked him personally.
The general meaning of the words is: Liu Pi is just a yellow turban bandit. He seemed to have a lucky draw with Zhao Yun, so he raised his tail and came to slander the Huainan general in front of his lord. He was overly proud and sow discord, which was despicable.
Shameless thieves and villains.
Liu Pi's words were too bad and he couldn't defeat him. He just turned red with anger and was speechless.
In the end, it was Yuan Yao who came forward in person, acted as a peacemaker, and appeased all parties, and finally the matter was settled.
Although Yuan Yao was somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Xun's behavior, it was an extraordinary time and his own situation was extremely dangerous, and Liu Xun's reputation in the army was extremely high and he should not be offended.
If Yuan Yao wants to run to Hebei now, he will have to rely on Liu Xun's help.
After Liu Xun returned to his handsome tent, he sat there angrily, but his heart was far from as calm as he appeared on the surface, and he was somewhat uneasy.
At this moment, Liu Ye walked into the tent.
"How about it?"
Liu Xun raised his head and glanced at him, and said: "I almost let that boy Liu Pi trick me. Thanks to my strong arguments, the Lord did not have too many doubts, so he reluctantly suppressed the matter, but I'm afraid sooner or later
They are all problems.”
Liu Ye turned around and walked to the door of the tent, looked around, and then said: "Yan Xing sent someone to contact me secretly. He wants to cooperate with the general inside and outside to capture Yuan Yao tomorrow night!"
Liu Xun couldn't help but trembled when he heard this.
He lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "Forget it! If we delay it any longer, we don't know what will happen, so we will simply do nothing and take advantage of the chaos to welcome Yan Xing and others into the camp, cooperate inside and outside, and kill Yuan Yao
, Zhang Xun, Liu Pi and others! Gather all the Huainan army and the Yellow Turban thieves, and use them as a close resource to Cao Sikong!"
Liu Ye sighed, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
Seeing Liu Xun's confused look, Liu Ye immediately explained to him: "Yan Xing's letter asked us to kill Yuan Yao while also finding ways to help him kill Zhang Ji..."
"What?!"
Liu Xun was so shocked that he almost jumped up from the collapse.
He hurriedly stood up, walked to Liu Ye, looked at him intently, and saw that he didn't seem to be lying. He was surprised and said: "Isn't Zhang Ji a general under Cao Sikong? How dare Yan Xing plot to kill him?"
Liu Ye smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know much about what happened specifically, but Yan Xing's intention is that killing Zhang Jinai is an ironclad order from Duke Cao, and we cannot violate it."
Liu Xun said angrily: "How to do this? What if this is not Cao Sikong's intention?"
Liu Ye thought for a while and said: "I don't think Yan Xingqian has the guts to lie and harm the general. Moreover, he and Zhang Ji are both from Liangzhou, so there is no deep hatred! At this critical moment, Yan Xingqian took the risk to state this to us.
Firstly, I want to push the burdensome things onto us, and secondly, I want to test our sincerity in surrender... But this matter is not impossible."
"Isn't it impossible?" Liu Xun laughed angrily at Liu Ye's words and said: "Zhang Ji has a group of Xiliang cavalry under his command. He himself was one of Dong Zhuo's old troops. It is not easy to plot against him? Moreover,
Still in the midst of the chaos, it’s just nonsense!”
Liu Ye lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "It's not possible. We can design this matter as an accident."
"Accident?" Liu Xun heard this and asked curiously: "What kind of accident?"
Liu Ye said calmly: "Do you still remember the design drawings of the 'Thunderbolt Car' I provided to you, General, last time?"
Liu Xun nodded and said: "Of course I remember, this thing is very remarkable, and I also asked my soldiers to make a few more, and they are in the camp now."
Liu Ye smiled slightly when he heard this and said, "That's it, it's easy to talk about."
After saying that, he walked to Liu Xun's side, lowered his head and made a detailed statement in Liu Xun's ear.
…
Just when Liu Xun, Yan Xing and others were plotting to secretly kill Yuan Yao, Liu Pi also saw a Tao Jun school official who secretly came to him.
This person was sent by Zhuge Liang.
Liu Pi quietly took him to his camp and asked him what he wanted to do secretly.
What the school official said was concise and to the point.
He told Liu Pi that Zhuge Liang conveyed the news to Liu Pi: tonight and tomorrow night, if there is no accident, Yan Xing will attack the Huainan Army's camp.
Liu Pi was shocked when he heard this.
"Mr. Zhuge, did you get the secret report somewhere?"
The school official shook his head and said, "Zhuge County Master has not received any news."
Liu Pi looked at the school official in surprise and said, "Then how can he expect Yan Xingyu to attack our army camp at night?"
The school official seemed to have anticipated Liu Pi's question, and immediately said: "Zun Zhuge said that during the previous battle, the Huainan army was divided into two, and half of the soldiers and horses saw that the main force was in danger and did not come back to save them. There was civil strife.
I am afraid that someone in the Huainan army has secretly defected to Cao Cao..."
"Liu Xun!"
Liu Pi suddenly slapped his head and said suddenly: "I feel strange! Why did the old boy insist on fighting Zhao Yun before but did not return to save the lord? It turns out that he has really become Cao Cao's dog! It's so annoying
Human! Shameless villain!"
Gong Du grinned from behind.
You have the nerve to tell others, if Liu Xun is Cao Cao's dog...then whose dog are we?
The school official's face was calm, and he ignored Liu Pi's analysis and continued: "Mr. Zhuge said that the generals in that army are very brave and strategic. They are not ordinary people. They will take risks when they see things. They should cooperate inside and outside. They are afraid of night attacks.
But within these few days, I would like to ask the brothers of the Yellow Turban Army to be more careful."
Liu Pi gratefully raised his hand to the school official and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhuge, for the advice. You can tell him when you go back, and I will inform Yuan Yao right now and ask him to be careful."
The school official shook his head and said: "Zun Zhuge County also said that General Liu should not inform Yuan Yao, but just ask the Yellow Turban brothers under his command to take precautions and not to be taken advantage of by others."
Liu Pi was surprised when he heard this and said, "Why is this?"
The school official said: "Mr. Zhuge said that things must be settled. Yuan Yao is destined to be a victim of this battle. There is no need to save him. I will wait for the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole behind him."
Liu Pi thought for a moment and then suddenly realized.
But in his heart, he felt very sorry for Yuan Yao.
But that’s how it is in troubled times.
…
At midnight, Yan Xing and Zhang Ji divided their forces and took action.
Yan Xingzi went to stop Zhao Yun and sent Hu Che'er to my county to ambush Zhuge Liang's Liannu Army.
This time Hu Cheer learned his lesson. He did not lead the Xiliang cavalry cavalry, but led all heavy armored infantry and crossbowmen!
If Zhuge Liang's Liennu Army dared to leave the city, Hu Che'er made up his mind that all his soldiers would die without burial.
Zhang Ji then led his own troops to attack Yuan Yao's camp and cooperated with Liu Xun inside and outside.
Looking at the Huainan military camp in the distance, Zhang Ji felt a little nervous. His hand holding the gun barrel was sweating.
At this time, fire suddenly appeared in the stables of Yuan Jun's camp in the distance, and there was a commotion in the rear camp.
Zhang Ji was overjoyed when he saw this!
Liu Xun took action as promised!
He turned around and gave an order to the Xiliang cavalry behind him, and saw a group of Xiliang troops led by Zhang Ji himself, launching a roaring and tsunami offensive, rushing straight towards the Huainan army's camp.
Yuan Yao was sleeping at the moment when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves like an earthquake, which almost shook him off the bed. He was so scared that he urinated and ran out of the tent barefoot and crying.
But all around the back of his camp, there was a sea of fire.
When Yuan Yao was crying, Zhang Xun ran to him on horseback in a panic, and said anxiously to him: "My lord, follow the general and evacuate this place quickly! Hurry!"
When Yuan Yao saw Zhang Xun, he was so frightened that he calmed down a little. He sobbed and asked Zhang Xun: "General Zhang, what on earth is going on?"
Zhang Xun gritted his teeth, inserted the hilt of the knife into the sand, and said angrily: "Lord! It's Liu Xun who rebelled!"
