"Yin Ping was lost? Yu Jin defected to the enemy?"
"How is this possible?"
Li Dian looked at Xiahou Dun and Han Hao in shock.
"Could there be a mistake?"
Li Dian and Yu Jin had a good relationship in private.
After all, they were all generals with foreign surnames. Their relationship with each other was naturally stronger than that of generals from the same clan like Xiahou Dun.
Li Dian did not believe that Yu Jin would defect to the enemy!
Li Dian had joined Cao Cao when Chen Liu raised his army. He was not as serious and rigid as Yu Jin, so Xiahou Dun had a good impression of Li Dian.
Immediately.
Xiahou Dun followed Han Hao's suggestion and described the ambush at Crouching Bull Mountain as Liu Bei coming to attack Yinping and Xiahou Dun going out of the city to fight, but he was ambushed. When he wanted to return to Yinping, he learned from Zhang Fei that Yu Jin had defected to the enemy.
The two of them did not dare to return to Yinping and coincidentally met Li Dian and Liu Bei.
The content was roughly the same.
However, Yu Jin had defected to the enemy and pushed the responsibility of the defeat to Yu Jin.
Xiahou Dun knew Cao Cao's temperament.
Even if he knew Xiahou Dun was lying, he would not punish Xiahou Dun for Yu Jin.
However, with everyone watching, Xiahou Dun had to give Cao Cao a reason not to kill him.
And Yu Jin was the best scapegoat!
Li Dian hesitated.
It was not impossible for Xiahou Dun to surrender after his defeat.
Li Dian quickly came up with a plan." General Xia Hou, now that Yinping has been lost, our army is short of rations. We can't waste it here with Liu Bei. We have to return to Pengcheng immediately and tell the Lord about this!”
As for Xiahou Dun's defeat, Li Dian did not dare to say much.
He was only an external general, so he was not qualified to reprimand Xiahou Dun for losing his soldiers and generals and losing Yin Ping.
....
"General, Li Dian has retreated!"
When Liu Bei's army was in formation, the scouts saw Li Dian waving his flag and came to report.
"Retreat?"
Liu Bei was confused.
They had just set up their formation, and Li Dian had already retreated?
I, Liu Bei, have already reached the realm of subduing the enemy without fighting?
"Inquire about information. Be careful of traps!"
Liu Bei did not dare to be careless.
With Cao Cao's elite troops, it was impossible for them to retreat upon seeing Liu Bei.
Even Liu Bei was planning to fight Li Dian!
Not long after.
The scouts returned.
"General, a knight who claims to be Zhang Da has come here. He said that he's following the order of General Zhang Fei!”
Third brother?
Liu Bei was overjoyed.”
Zhang Da rode his horse to Liu Bei and cupped his hands in greeting."My lord! General Zhang ordered me to pass a message. He, Taishi Ci, and Guan Hai followed Military Advisor Xun's plan and burned Xiahou Dun's troops at the Crouching Bull Slope. Only the main general Xiahou Dun and the deputy general Han Hao were deliberately released by General Zhang!”
"General Zhang is afraid that the lord does not know the intentions of the military advisor, so he came to inform the lord. Military Advisor Xun thinks that Yu Jin, who is guarding Yinping, is a talent!”
"General Zhang also specially told Xiahou Dun that Yinping has already been captured by the Lord, and Yu Jin has already surrendered to the Lord!”
Stunned, Liu Bei took out Xun Mu's brocade pouch and scanned it carefully.""Advisor Jun didn't mention Yu Jin. He only asked us to fight Yinping!”
Suddenly.
Liu Bei suddenly realized and slapped his thigh.
"If not for Yi De's reminder, we would have almost delayed the military advisor's plans!”
"Military Advisor sent us to attack Yinping, not to surround Wei and save Zhao!”
Xiahou Dun's 5,000 soldiers had been burned by Xun Mu, so why would he need Liu Bei to carry out the plan of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao?
This was clearly the literal meaning.
Hit Yin Ping!
However, Liu Bei, Tian Yu, and Zhao Yun were exaggerating and had the wrong meaning!
Tian Yu and Zhao Yun were stunned on the spot.
"Xiahou Dun has 5,000 soldiers, and only the general and deputy have escaped?”
"Military Advisor Xun set fire to Xiahou Dun's troops and burned them to ashes?”
"Aren't there only a few thousand new recruits in Military Advisor Xun's hands?”
"It's actually not attacking Wei to save Zhao, but purely attacking Yin Ping? Military Advisor Xun had expected Xiahou Dun to lose, so he sent us to fight Yinping directly?”
Liu Bei saw that Tian Yu and Zhao Yun were stunned and knew that they were shocked.
"Zilong, Guorang, don't be in a daze!”
"Li Dian suddenly retreated. Xiahou Dun and Han Hao must have met Li Dian.”
"Third Brother is really mean. He actually used a sow discord tactic in front of Xiahou Dun!”
Tian Yu shook his head and chuckled.”
"This should just be a coincidence!" Zhao Yun finally understood. Xiahou Dun will definitely come to Yinping to gather information. Coincidentally, he encountered our army in Yinping. Xiahou Dun panicked and did not dare to believe it!”
But none of them had guessed it.
Xiahou Dun just wanted to use Yu Jin as a scapegoat.
Liu Bei reined in his horse and turned around, looking in the direction of Yin Ping City. His eyes shone with fervor."Since Advisor Jun wants us to attack Yin Ping, then we will attack Yin Ping!”
"General, we're all cavalry. How can we attack Yinping?" Zhang Da was puzzled.”
Liu Bei smiled and did not answer.
"Cavalry attacking the city is naturally to lure the enemy out of the city!" Li Dian's retreat proves that Xiahou Dun believes that Yinping has been lost and that Yu Jin has surrendered. Then, we can confirm this matter! It made the generals of Yinping believe that Yu Jin had already surrendered!”
"At that time, Yu Jin will definitely leave the city to prove his innocence!”
