Chapter 405 The Battle of Hanzhong (53)

Xu Chu was stabbed by Zhang Fei with a spear on his right shoulder. Although he did not hurt his bones, he could not hold a big knife and lost his combat power.

He rescued him from Zhang Fei's spear with hundreds of confidants brought by Xu Jiazhuang to death, but he had no intention of fighting with Zhang Fei, but he just fought and retreated, protecting Xu Chu and taking the lead.

Cao Cao's Tiger Guard Army is not a slightest. Even if it is a small soldier, his martial arts are not as good as the centurion. With excellent equipment, even Zhang Fei cannot be easily killed.

Under the protection of the Thousand Tiger Guards, Xu Chu successfully returned to Yangping Pass.

After meeting Cao Cao, Xu Chu leaned to the ground to apologize.

After Zhang Fei took the food and his confidant general was injured again. Cao Cao was extremely angry and his face was gloomy. However, he did not take his anger on others or blame Xu Chu. Instead, he asked about his well-being and ordered the military doctor to treat Xu Chu's golden sores well.

Although it was due to Xu Chu's unfavorable contact, the party who delivered the food and grass was more responsible!

Cao Hong sent people to deliver food to Yangpingguan for the first time, which was tentative and not large in quantity, and it had nothing to do with the overall situation.

However, Cao Cao was very angry that Cao Hong sent Zhao Yong, a civil servant to deliver food and grass, and sent someone to pass on orders to let Cao Xiu be fully responsible for the escort of food and grass.

Cao Xiu now has a high prestige in the army. After he took over the escort of grain and grass, he heard that even Zhang Fei had robbed grain and had no complete solution for the safety of grain and grass.

Cao Xiu had heard of Zhang Fei's name for a long time, and after thinking about it, he decided to use a trick to capture and kill Zhang Fei.

Finally, Cao Xiu took out his killer move and personally led the tiger and leopard cavalry to follow him, protecting the grain team forward.

If you want to design Zhang Fei, Cao Xiu's use of the tiger and leopard cavalry may not work.

This time he made a lot of money, and replaced all the tens of thousands of civilians who transported food and grass with elite soldiers, setting up this trap. He just waited for Zhang Fei to take the bait.

Because there are two roads from Chencang Road to Yangping Pass, Liu Bei sent people to rob grain this time, and the troops were divided into two groups. Zhang Fei and Wei Yan all took action, leaving Ma Su to temporarily guard Nanzheng City.

Of course, Zhang Fei was still the chief general. Before leaving, he asked Ma Su for advice:

"You Chang, you have always been aware of things. What path do you think Cao Cao's grain team will take this time?"

Ma Su knew that Zhang Fei was unfair about not winning the first prize in the capture of Nanzheng. This time he robbed the grain and wanted to win a game, so he said to Zhang Fei:

"Cao Cao was very suspicious. The first time he transported grain, it must be a test of nature. The quantity would not be too large. He should be able to walk on a small path. General Zhang can lead his troops to ambush in the valley and wait for the grain team to arrive."

Zhang Fei trusted Ma Su very much and could be said to be obedient.

He ordered Wei Yan to lead three thousand troops and set up ambush on the main road; he led three thousand troops and horses to ambush in a valley on the small road, and waited Xu Chu and Zhao Yong on the right hand, successfully seized the grain truck and obtained the first merit.

Wei Yan is a competitive master. Although he won the first merit in Nanzheng, he was not satisfied.

Wei Yan knew in his heart that the capture of Nan Zheng was actually Ma Su's contribution, and he wanted to get the first merit when robbing grain...

After receiving the order to rob grain, Wei Yan also looked at and analyzed it, believing that the grain team was crowded with people and large grain trucks, he would definitely not walk on the rugged and difficult mountain roads, and wanted to take the initiative to ask for his order to go to the main road.

After seeing Zhang Fei, before Wei Yan could speak, Zhang Fei took the lead in order to go to the main road to ambush, hitting his mind.

Wei Yan was very happy and led the army on the main road.

In order to ensure that the grain robbery was successful, Wei Yan personally went to choose the ambush place.

Wei Yan's generals selected several dangerous places, which were good places for ambushing, but Wei Yan was not very satisfied, because a discerning person could see at a glance that there was a possibility of ambushing here.

After walking forward for several kilometers, I found an open land with flat woods on both sides, which could hide thousands of people.

Because the terrain is flat, it is not suitable for ambushing.

But Wei Yan likes to use strange strategies, and his favorite thing is to surprise him, so he decided to set up an ambush at this flat place and wait for Cao Cao's grain team to arrive.

But Wei Yan's good luck seemed to have ended. After waiting for several days, not only did he not wait for the grain team, but even the Cao army cavalry who had sent the order did not pass here.

On the afternoon of the fifth day, Wei Yan saw that the army had already eaten up the dry food, and the soldiers were urging hunger and were about to send an order to withdraw their troops.

Suddenly, the spy he sent out came to report that Cao Cao's food team arrived.

Wei Yan was overjoyed and immediately entered the ambush, waiting for the arrival of the food team.

But this time Wei Yan hit the iron plate. After Wei Yan led his troops out, he was waiting by Cao Xiu's tiger and leopard cavalry and was almost trapped by those pretending civilians.

Wei Yan saw the opportunity quickly. When he saw the tiger and leopard cavalry appearing, he knew that things were not done, so he immediately ordered a retreat.

However, because of the flat terrain, although Wei Yan led his troops to retreat into the woods, Cao Xiu's cavalry was still chased by the woods, causing many military horses to be killed.

After Wei Yan failed to rob grain, Liu Bei knew that Cao Cao was ready and did not want to fight with Cao Cao, so he gave up robbing food and grass.

Although Cao Cao's transfer of food and grass was smooth, he naturally would not really stay at Yangping Pass and refused to leave.

He just wanted to fight against Liu Bei, so he sent an envoy to Liu Bei again to send a letter of war.

But because of Liu Bei's whereabouts, the envoy could not find Liu Bei's camp.

After Liu Bei led his army to rest in the mountains for half a month, Zhuge Liang felt that he should show up, so Liu Bei led his army to set up camp not far from Yangping Pass.

Cao Cao finally discovered Liu Bei's camp and quickly sent an envoy to issue a letter of war, and Liu Bei agreed to go to war in the sun.

Early the next morning, Cao Cao led his troops to Liu Bei's camp, and Liu Bei led his troops to greet him.

The two battles were round, and Liu Bei ordered Liu Feng to fight.

Cao Cao was indignant about Liu Bei's avoidance and scolded:

"A child who sells shoes often asks his fake son to resist the enemy! If I call Huang Xuer, you will make meat paste!"

Liu Bei's face turned red and he didn't answer. He seemed to be a little confused, so he turned around and slapped away.

When Liu Feng heard Cao Cao's words sound bad, he was furious. He didn't wait for the enemy to fight in the future. He pushed his gun and took Cao Cao directly.

Cao Cao waved his hand and Xu Huang waved his axe to greet him.

Liu Feng was no match for Xu Huang. Before the two sides met, he turned around and left.

Cao Cao didn't want to miss this rare opportunity to fight, so he ordered the entire army to attack and chase Liu Bei.

Who knows that the cannons were fired everywhere and the drums and horns were ringing together.

Just as everyone was stunned, they realized that Liu Bei had already disappeared, and thousands of soldiers under Liu Feng did not fight and all fled into the valley.

As the saying goes, don’t come in the forest. Although Cao Cao has many people and many powerful people, he is afraid that Liu Bei will have an ambush on the mountain and urgently teaches him to retreat.

Cao Cao retreated, and the formation was in chaos. Liu Feng turned around and led his troops back. Cao's soldiers trampled on each other, and many of them died.

Liu Feng's army was young and did not follow him and chase him. Cao Cao led his army back to Yangping Pass before he was settled.

Shortly after Cao's army entered the pass, Liu Bei sent several troops to the city separately and harass him everywhere.

In recent days, Liu Bei's army has not been on the road, and small groups of people have appeared constantly, setting fires at the east gate, shouting at the west gate; setting fires at the south gate, and beating drums at the north gate.

Cao Cao was so upset that he sent people to chase and killed him.

But these people did not fight, but fled directly to the mountains and forests, leaving Cao Cao helpless.

Cao Cao knew in his heart that this was Zhuge Liang's exhausted military strategy, but the food and grass here were difficult to transport, and it was not a place where the army had been defending for a long time, so he had already wanted to leave.

If Cao Cao left like this, he would be unwilling to accept it. After discussing with Sima Yi, Liu Ye and others, he decided to take the plan, abandon the pass and leave, and lure Liu Bei to come and kill him.
