Chapter 46-Kong Ming Snatched the Abolition of Emperor Jia Xu and Defeated Cao Cao
(shortcut key:
"What do you mean?" Liu Bei asked carefully.
He had an excellent reading, which was that he knew how to respect Zhuge Liang and follow his lead.
"We will pretend to fight in front of the pass and secretly divide our troops into two groups. One group will be led by the lord personally to attack Luoyang and strive to take Emperor Xian.”
"The other group will be led by Commander Yun. We will attack Mengjin from a small path. As long as we can capture the deposed emperor Liu Bian, we can't continue fighting.”
"Good plan, Military Advisor. If we can get Emperor Xian of Han, of course it will be a good thing. If there was really no other way, he could take the second best option and get the deposed Emperor Liu Bian. At the same time, he could also set up another court and compete with Liu Xun. Liu Bei finally understood what Zhuge Liang meant.
That night, under the cover of the night, Liu Bei led a group of soldiers to sneak attack Luoyang.
Guan Yu led another group of people to Meng Jin to retrieve the deposed emperor Liu Bian.
Liu Xun was still in the dark. He and Pang Tongqing had won a great victory and recaptured Xingyang. He did not know that he had fallen into Zhuge Liang's scheme.
The next day, Zhuge Liang sent Zhang Fei to attack Liu Xun.
"Liu Xun, do you know Zhang Yide from Yan?”
Zhang Fei rode on a black horse. He had a rough appearance and was black. His voice was like thunder as he used a 18-foot-long Snake Spear to challenge Liu Xun.
At this moment, Zhang Fei's face was green and purple. It was black and green, and green and purple. He was already ugly, so he looked even stranger now.
It seemed that Zhang Fei had been hit hard by the flying stones last night.
"Eunuch? Look at your dignified appearance, but you can't be humane. "I heard that you used to be a butcher. Could it be that you lost your hand when you killed the pig and cut off your own penis?" Liu Xun mocked.
" Liu, you're too much of a bully. I'll fight you to the death." Zhang Fei was so angry that he raised his spear and charged at Liu Xun.
Liu Xun did not show any weakness. He rode his Lightning Sunchaser and brandished his spear to fight Zhang Fei.
This time, the spear and spear were used simultaneously. Both sides displayed their special skills and began to fight in the pass.
Liu Xun's World-Swallowing Spear Art was taught by Zuo Ci. His spear was like a dragon playing in water, and his attacks were extraordinary.
Zhang Fei's spear technique was called " Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix Spear ", which was also from a famous master. Once he used it, the spear would point at the opponent's vital parts like a storm.
After fighting for a while, the two sides could not tell who Xuanyuan was.
Zhuge Liang sounded the bell and withdrew his troops. Pang Tong saw that the other side was in an orderly formation and had many swords and spears, so he could only temporarily stop fighting.
The next day, Zhang Fei came to the pass again. In the end, the two sides were evenly matched. Zhuge Liang withdrew his troops and returned to camp.
Liu Xun wanted to chase, but the other side shot arrows at him, so he had to return to the pass.
It was the same for three consecutive days.
Pang Tong was immediately puzzled.
" Not good, we've fallen for Zhuge Liang's diversion plan." Pang Tong was, after all, an experienced military strategist, so he immediately reacted.
" Advisor Jun, you mean that Zhuge Liang is dragging our troops here and secretly sending people to attack our rear?" Liu Xun was not stupid and immediately came back to his senses.
"I'm worried that Zhuge Liang will stay here and waste time with us while he secretly sends people to Luoyang to retrieve Emperor Xian. "We can't let this matter go," Pang Tong said.
"Zhuge Liang has always been crafty, so this is highly possible. How about this, I'll immediately send a messenger pigeon and ask Lu Qiling and Yan Yan to strengthen their defenses. "At the same time, send Zhang Liao and Gao Shun back to Luoyang," Liu Xun said.
"That's for the best. "Zhuge Liang thought that he had a plan. Although this plan of splitting up the troops is good, it's a distraction. We can gather our forces and break his army," Pang Tong sneered.
He temporarily put Liu Xun aside.
Jia Xu was in a stalemate with Cao Cao at Mushui Pass.
His subordinate suggested that Jia Xu switch on and off to attack. Jia Xu smiled and said,"Cao Cao himself is very good at using troops, and he has Guo Jia's help.”
"As long as we hold the pass and don't engage the enemy, and at the same time prevent them from ambushing us, it won't be long before Cao Cao's army collapses.”
Cao Cao had been attacking Lishui Pass for several days, but he had returned without success. Instead, he had lost many soldiers. Seeing that he was about to run out of food, he gradually became anxious.
" My Lord, it seems that Jia Xu is well versed in the art of war. Rather than wasting time with him here, why don't we split our forces to attack Luoyang and kidnap Emperor Xian?" Guo Jia suggested.
" Alright, we'll take advantage of the night to have Xiahou Dun lead the troops around Mushui Pass and sneak attack Luoyang," Cao Cao said.
That night, Xiahou Dun quietly led a troop and headed towards Luoyang.
Who knew that Jia Xu had long been prepared for this move and had long sent countless scouts disguised as woodsmen to guard the intersections of the places they had to pass through.
Xiahou Dun thought that nobody would notice him. When his army moved, Kong Ming Lanterns had already risen into the sky to report the location of the army.
Jia Xu received the report and called Xu Huang over." Cao Cao wants to send troops to sneak past the pass. You immediately lead the troops out of the city and ambush them at the place where his army will pass through.”
In the past few days, Xu Huang had been strictly forbidden by Jia Xu to go to war. Without any battles, he had a fire in his stomach that could not be vented. When he heard that there would be battles, he was extremely happy.
Xu Huang immediately accepted the order and went to ambush them.
There was a mountain outside Mushui Pass called Peach Blossom Mountain. Every spring, peach blossoms bloomed here, and the scenery was charming.
Xiahou Dun led the army in the direction of Luoyang. Peach Blossom Mountain was a place they had to pass through.
Xu Huang led his army to lie in ambush on Peach Blossom Mountain, quietly waiting for the arrival of Xia Houdun's army.
Seeing that Xiahou Dun's army had entered the encirclement, Xu Huang waited until Xiahou Dun's vanguard had passed before he gave the order to charge out and cut Xiahou Dun's army into two.
More than half of Xiahou Dun's troops had been killed. When he wasn't paying attention, he was shot in the left eye by an arrow, and blood gushed out.
Xiahou Dun was very brave as he shouted,""The blood essence of your parents cannot be abandoned."
He pulled out the arrow and swallowed the eyeball and blood.
He wanted to turn back, but his path of return had been cut off.
Fortunately, the team had a local guide who guided Xiahou Dun all the way to Luoyang.
A few defeated soldiers fled back to Cao Cao's camp and reported what had happened.
Guo Jia never expected that his plan was flawless. The other party actually seemed to have known beforehand, and he could not help but feel some admiration for Jia Xu.
He didn't know that Liu Xun's army had already mastered the method of using Kongming Lanterns to send messages at night.
Advanced communication methods, coupled with Jia Xu anticipating the enemy's movements, caused Guo Jia's plan to fail.
One plan failed, Guo Jia had another plan.
" My lord, we don't know when we'll break through Mushui Pass. Why don't we retreat secretly and join forces with Liu Bei to catch Liu Xun off guard?" Guo Jia thought of a plan.
" Alright, tonight at midnight, after the enemy is asleep, the army will retreat." Cao Cao had no choice but to accept Jia Xu's suggestion.
Early the next morning, Jia Xu woke up and ascended the city tower, only to find that the enemy had already left the camp.
" Not good. Cao Cao probably couldn't take the Lishui Pass and moved his troops to Xingyang. Pang Tong's side will be in danger." Jia Xu thought for a moment and immediately understood the cause and effect of the matter.
Leaving a general to guard the city, Jia Xu's army immediately headed to Xingyang to pursue Cao Cao's army.
However, Cao Cao's army had already gone far away, and it was unknown if they could catch up.
" I hope I can reach Xingyang before it falls, so that I won't delay my lord's great event," Jia Xu muttered to himself as he urged the army to move forward.
There were two sides to the story.
Liu Bei led his army to attack Luoyang. Liu Xun had informed Yan Yan and Lu Qiling to make preparations.
The speed at which the messenger birds sent messages was far beyond Liu Bei's imagination. The whereabouts of his army was always under Yan Yan's control.
Before Liu Bei's army could reach Luoyang, they were ambushed by Yan Yan's army and were forced to flee.
Just as he was escaping, he encountered Zhang Liao's army that had come to help him and stopped them for a while.
Liu Bei charged left and right in the formation, his robes stained with blood.
In the midst of despair, a troop of soldiers arrived. They were Xiahou Dun's remaining soldiers.
The two sides joined forces. Xiahou Dun saved Liu Bei and fled in a hurry.
This time, they were heading in the direction of Mengjin.
Guan Yu led an army in the direction of Mengjin, and there were few obstructions along the way.
Occasionally, they would encounter a group of scattered soldiers. How could they be Guan Yu's match?
Liu Bian was a deposed emperor. After Dong Zhuo deposed him, he was thrown into Mengjin. After many twists and turns, no one paid attention to this deposed emperor.
Only a small number of soldiers were guarding Liu Bian.
After Liu Xun became Wuwei General, he did not take Liu Bian seriously.
Soon, Guan Yu kidnapped Liu Bian. Just as Liu Bei led his defeated troops, both sides kidnapped Liu Bian and left.
Xiahou Dun did not know about the deposed Emperor Liu Bian. He followed Liu Bei and Guan Yu and slowly retreated outside Xingyang Pass.
At this moment, a great battle was taking place at Xingyang Pass.
It turned out that after Pang Tong saw through Zhuge Liang's plan to divide his forces, he planned with Liu Xun and took turns to attack.
Zhao Yun's arrow injury was not serious at first. After applying the Golden Creation medicine, she rested for a few days and was basically fine.
Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, the two valiant generals, together with the stone throwing carts of Wang Kai's engineering battalion, attacked fiercely and broke through Zhuge Liang's defense.
Liu Xun's army had the advantage in numbers. Although Zhuge Liang knew how to use troops, he had too few soldiers. How could he be a match for Liu Xun's army?
This fierce attack caused Zhuge Liang's army to bleed like a river, with heavy casualties.
Although Zhang Fei was brave, how could he be a match for Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Liu Xun when they joined forces?
Under such circumstances, even if Lu Bu didn't die and came personally, he would have no choice but to flee if Liu Xun and the other two joined forces.
Zhuge Liang was finally a Le Grade strategist. He did not panic in the face of danger and gathered the archers to cover the rear.
Under Zhang Fei's protection, he led the army and slowly retreated.
Cao Cao's army arrived at the right time, and Liu Xun returned to the city.
Not long after, Guan Yu, Liu Bei, and Xiahou Dun's troops arrived.
Later on, Zhang Liao, Yan Yan, and Lu Qiling's troops caught up.
The next day, Jia Xu's army also arrived at the pass and set up camp outside the city, echoing with Liu Xun's army.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei set up camp half a mile away from the city. Both sides agreed to attack Liu Xun's army at the same time the next morning.
Although they had lost many soldiers, Cao Cao and Liu Bei could still fight Liu Xun.
In the last battle with Liu Xun, Cao Cao had lost Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Dian Wei, Xiahou Yuan, and Yu Jin.
This time, not only did Xiahou Dun lose more than half of his troops, but he was also shot blind in one eye. Cao Cao hated Liu Xun to the core.
One had to know that Cao Cao's surname was Xiahou, and he had a brotherly relationship with Xiahou Dun.
It was only later that he was adopted by the eunuch Cao Teng and changed his surname to Cao.
This time, Xiahou Dun was heavily injured, which was equivalent to injuring Cao Cao's limbs. How could he not hate him?
He immediately gathered the military doctors of the battalion to treat Xiahou Dun's injuries while discussing with Guo Jia how to take revenge.
According to the agreement from the day before, Cao Cao woke up early the next day, but found that Liu Bei's army had long disappeared.
It turned out that Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Xun was powerful and could not conquer Xingyang Pass for a while. Moreover, Liu Bian, the deposed emperor, had already been captured. He was afraid that Cao Cao would know about it and rob it later, so he suggested that Liu Bei break camp and return to Yuzhou that night.
" Liu Bei, this big-eared thief, despicable and despicable. He actually escaped alone!" Cao Cao cursed.
