Chapter 174
In the city of Xiangyang.
Liu Jue sat in the study, listening to the spies' report.
"Lord, Liu Bei coerced tens of thousands of people, all the way to Xiangyang, has passed the Yuyang area, and is heading towards Xinye. The spy reported loudly.
"Liu Bei, Liu Bei, is still acting like this, after walking for such a long time, he has only passed Yuyang, which is really slower than a turtle. Liu Jue couldn't help but sneer.
According to Liu Jue's estimation in his heart, Liu Bei took tens of thousands of people and walked more than ten miles at most every day.
However, Liu Jue has to admit that Liu Bei's approach is actually very capable of buying people's hearts, and in history, people such as Ma Liang and Jiang Wan have all taken refuge in Liu Bei because of this.
Now, though, history has changed.
Ma Liang and Jiang Wan became their subordinates, and they did a good job, Liu Bei took so many people, it was just a waste of effort, at most he could earn some fame.
The current situation in the world can stop Cao Cao, only he Liu Jue and Sun Quan, Liu Bei is not so important.
Besides, he had already planned to take Liu Bei's life, if there was no accident, Liu Bei would be dead this time.
"What's going on over there with Cao Cao?" Liu Jue continued to ask.
"Returning to the lord, Cao Cao seemed to know that Liu Bei had run away, and Cao's army had also come to Wancheng, and soon after, sent a cavalry in pursuit. "
Everything was as Liu Jue expected.
And according to small speculation, the cavalry that chased Liu Bei was most likely a tiger and leopard horseman, and it was led by Cao Cao himself. The spy continued.
"Cao Cao personally led the tiger and leopard cavalry to pursue Liu Bei!"
This news immediately whetted Liu Jue's appetite, and Cao Cao led the tiger and leopard cavalry to chase and kill Liu Bei, which was similar to the battle of Changbanpo.
It seems that his butterfly has unconsciously affected the direction of history.
Liu Jue asked a few more words, and then let the spy go down, and then began to think in his heart about what he could do.
Xue Rengui took twenty elites and went to assassinate Liu Bei, but just killing one Liu Bei couldn't make Liu Jue satisfied.
Boss Cao's big fish is so tempting that Liu Jue is drooling when he thinks about it, and after thinking about it, he decided to lead the Wind Camp to ambush Cao Cao.
If Cao Cao can be killed, his sons will compete for power and profit, maybe there will be chaos in the north, and he will be able to profit from it at that time.
Even if he can't kill Cao Cao, it will be a great thing to hit his tiger and leopard rider hard.
It's different from the plan I made at the beginning, but no matter what, the result is the same.
Liu Jue looked at the map, according to the speed of the tiger and leopard, it would take less than two days to catch up with Liu Bei, and the location was about a little ahead of Xinye.
Since Xinye was burned by Liu Jue, the people followed Liu Bei to Wancheng, and this place became an empty city, which could be used as an ambush.
The more Liu Jue thought about it, the more excited he became, and immediately called Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others to tell him what he thought.
Zhuge Liang's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "The lord is a golden body, and he must not risk his life, if he wants to ambush Cao Cao, he only needs to send his generals to go." "
Pang Tong also nodded and said: "Kong Ming is right, if the lord has any mistakes, the land of Jingxiang will be in danger." "
Liu Jue said calmly: "You don't have to worry, this time I will take the Wind Camp forward, and then let Wen Ping answer in the back, besides, there is Liu Bei in front, Cao Cao would never have thought that I would come over to ambush him." "
"Besides, even if the tiger and leopard riding is the best in the world, my wind camp is not a vegetarian, and we still have the Su Iron Knife, so we will definitely be able to catch Cao Cao off guard. "
The tiger and leopard cavalry is the elite of Cao Cao's elite, and the trapping camp and the white horse righteousness are different, and it is clearly recorded in the history books that the tiger and leopard cavalry has many glorious records of killing the enemy commander.
On the way of Cao Cao's southern expedition to the north, the tiger and leopard cavalry also fought many hard battles and vicious battles, and was known as the first cavalry in the world.
If you can defeat them this time, you will definitely be able to boost your morale and strengthen the confidence of your subordinates.
Seeing Liu Jue's firm attitude, everyone knew that it was useless to persuade again, so they had to nod and agree.
persuaded Zhuge Liang and others, Liu Jue immediately asked Qin Qiong to prepare, planning to take Yang Zaixing with him, and set off with his army two hours later.
......
In the north, Cao Cao was riding his horse at a gallop, beside Cao Chun and Xu Chu, two generals, followed closely by the tiger and leopard cavalry and the Su Guards, all the way to the south without stopping.
The tiger and leopard cavalry plus the Su guards, 6,000 cavalry galloped, and the sound of horses' hooves, like war drums, not only made the earthquake tremble, but also made the enemy frightened.
Moreover, the war horses on which these soldiers rode were all first-class horses, and their endurance and burst were first-class.
Cao Cao knew that Liu Bei would not be fast with the people, so he was not in a hurry, and he traveled seventy or eighty miles a day, not only to catch up with Liu Bei before he arrived in Xiangyang, but also to maintain the physical strength of the soldiers and horses.
At this time, Cao Cao had already passed Yuyang, and on both sides of the road, there were some scattered people, who obviously followed Liu Bei south, but they were left alone because of physical exhaustion.
"Liu Bei, how do you think you are going to escape this time?" Cao Cao sneered, and regardless of these people, he ordered the tiger and leopard to speed up, and he would definitely catch up with Liu Bei today.
Historically, Cao Cao led the tiger and leopard cavalry to pursue Liu Bei, running for more than 300 miles in a day and night, and finally caught up with Liu Bei at Changban Slope and broke Liu Bei's army.
Now Cao Cao can keep the soldiers and horses strong, just for the sprint of this moment, five thousand tigers and leopards and one thousand guards, all the way for half an hour, and finally saw the black torrent in front of him.
"Prime Minister, I have seen a large number of people. Cao Chun looked up and saw a large group of black-pressed figures, and immediately shouted excitedly.
"Listen to my orders, kill him immediately, and it's best to capture Liu Bei alive. Cao Cao let out a deep sigh and drew the sword at his waist.
Seeing that Liu Bei was in front of him, Cao Cao was also a little excited in his heart, that Xiao Qiang, who couldn't be killed, failed again and again, escaped again and again, and was already a thorn in his heart.
If he doesn't pull out this thorn, Cao Cao will not be happy in his heart.
"Whew!" Cao Chun replied loudly, his eyes were hot, and he immediately led the tiger and leopard to ride and gallop forward.
Cao Cao was protected by Xu Chu and led a thousand guards to follow closely.
The sound of horses' hooves was bursting, but when Cao Cao, Cao Chun and others rushed up, they were immediately dumbfounded.
Rao is Boss Cao, who is well-informed and has never seen such a scene.
I saw that among the tens of thousands of people who dragged their families and helped the old and the young, there were not many Liu Bei's soldiers, as well as thousands of baggage trucks, and even many cattle, sheep and livestock.
Cao Cao is known as 'using soldiers like Sun Wu', and when he saw this scene, he was also a little confused, even if Sun Wu came in person, he would also be confused.
This is not like slashing Yuan Tan and Badun, just leading the tiger and leopard to ride and kill the past.
Although Cao Cao has slaughtered the city, it does not mean that he is a person who likes to kill people indiscriminately.
Besides, Liu Bei doesn't know where this black crowd is, how can this rush to kill?
"Zihe, let the tigers and leopards scatter, snatch the baggage and the people, capture Liu Bei's soldiers, and look for Liu Bei by the way!" Boss Cao patted his forehead and said with a headache.
There is no way, there is no distinction between the military and the people, it is a mess, and you can only try your luck.
