From the heart, Guan Yu's intelligence value is of course much lower than Li Su.

His acting skills in using timing are far less detailed than Li Su.

However, Guan Yu's strategy of using the strategy of "using the plundered property plundered by the bandit army to lure friendly troops to assist in the war" was still successful.

Why?

Because the success rate of counter-espionage and inducement is never based on the absolute IQ, but on the difference between the person who uses it and the person who is used.

This is like Li Su’s intelligence is 100, and Qu Yi’s intelligence is 80, loyalty is 80, so Qu Yi was seduced to work in vain.

Assuming that Guan Yu has an intelligence of 80 and Lu Bu has an intelligence of 60 and loyalty of 60, Lu Bu was also seduced to help the battle.

Who made Lu Bu more greedy and less loyal than Cou Yi?

All the progress was the same as planned: After Guan Yu entered Anyi City, Yang Feng was unable to attack the city. Sure enough, while monitoring Guan Yu, he divided his troops to rob Yi.

Guan Yu pretended to obey the orders of the prefect Fan Ling and defended the county throne, so the Yi family's broken tent would not be considered as Guan Yu in the future. Guan Yu felt that it was a bit lacking excuse to kill the salt owls himself, so he turned a blind eye and acquiesced to the Bai Bo army's actions.

Moreover, after coming to Hedong for a long time, Guan Yu gradually inspected the movements of the Baibo army. It seemed that because the locals were self-governing and rebelling, the Baibo army's military discipline seemed to be better than other bandit-style Yellow Turban Army, because they wanted to develop bases in Hedong and even Bingzhou.

From this point of view, Baibo and the Heishan in the north do not massacre the poor for no reason. They often only attack counties with huge wealth storage. After breaking it, they rob the rich and left, and they also distribute grain to recruit poor and strong people to expand their troops.

After knowing Bai Bojun's behavioral habits, Guan Yu became more relieved when he used a knife to kill someone.

I can only say that this is also a path dependence formed by previous years. When you hold a hammer in your hand, everything looks like a nail. Last year, after being influenced by Li Su's despicable and vulgar method of "let you rob the Bohai Sea and then rob Zhang Ju", Guan Yu became much more sinister.

Five days later, the Yi family was captured by Bai Bo's army, and the manor where the Hedong wealthy guards were also looted.

The Wei family was a descendant of the Empress Wei Zifu and General Wei Qing during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. If they retreated for five years, the minions like Guan Yu would not be worthy of being in front of such famous families.

But when war comes, the world is so upside down, and it is hard to explain when a clan meets a warlord.

Wei Kai, the youngest generation of the Wei family, returned to Anyi City early and hid with the prefect Fan Ling, but many of the other branches in their clan who were in charge of the private salt business in Yi's family could not escape.

A few days later, Yang Feng retreated, and a messenger from Yi came to Anyi to report the losses. Only then did Wei Kai realize that many tribe members led by his cousin Wei Zhongdao were killed and he burst into tears.

Yang Feng plundered gold, jewelry, copper coins, silk and other property worth hundreds of millions of dollars in the wealthy families in the Yanhu County, and retreated with full load.

In addition, he took away at least 10,000 or 20,000 shi of refined grain and meat as supplies for the army. He was not satisfied yet, and he even transported away more than 100,000 shi of stored salt. The Baibo army was born in poverty and had the habit of bandits. He wanted everything when he saw it, so that the marching was like moving.

Xu Huang was considered to be a relatively wise man under Yang Feng's command, so he advised Yang Feng to throw away some heavy and heavy property and quickly withdraw his base with only soft and lightweight equipment.

But it was useless to persuade him. Now that the news is blocked, Yang Feng didn't know how Zhang Ju was cut off from his way back in Youzhou last year. It was too difficult to make the thief army give up their heavy property. It was impossible to mature without paying the price of bleeding.

Even if Yang Feng agreed, he could not obey orders. Maybe his soldiers who were reluctant to give up their property would mutiny and stay and share the money and live their own lives. How could this stop him?

Xu Huang could only sigh and said, "The clan is not enough to make a plan! The reason why Guan Yu's rear army did not come was that there were not enough warships and could not transport Qingzhou troops to Hedong at one time. This is known by the journey and route. The interval between Guan Yu's reinforcements was clearly more than half a month. Calculate how much time we have left to retreat in the day!"

In this way, when Yang Feng retreated with a full load, the 20,000 troops dragged three or four thousand large chariots back to Wangwu Mountain Pass from Fengshui. After the rear army also lifted the surveillance of Anyi County, within a day or two, Guan Yu sent thousands of cavalry to follow him like a gangrene with bones.

It turned out that it was Guan Yu's second batch of reinforcements, and 5,000 Danyang soldiers had arrived in Anyi.

Guan Yu asked three thousand Danyang soldiers to guard Anyi, and two thousand men went to block Puyangjin. He freed up all the Youzhou cavalry to pursue him.

As soon as he passed Wangwu Mountain Pass, Guan Yu took advantage of his speed to divide some troops to block the road from Yang Feng to Pingyang County.

On the other hand, Ding Yuan also sent Lu Bu to block the Qinshui direction and prevent Yang Feng from withdrawing to Shangdang.

At this point, the Battle of Baibo in Hedong has been fighting for more than 20 days, and it is already early November.

Ding Yuan's current state is very difficult. Since the day he took office, he has never been able to touch even an inch of Bingzhou's land. All his jurisdictions are in the occupied areas, so he has never received any taxes.

I have no money or anyone to expand my army. So far, I have only 4,000 Bingzhou cavalry.

...

"Damn it! I didn't expect that there were many such greedy people in the official army, who were jealous of our army's capture and came to intercept them! Xu Huang, I'll give you five thousand soldiers and cross Qinshui to break through tomorrow! Guan Yu has many soldiers, but Ding Yuan on Qinshui's side, so we will choose the direction of few people to break through!"

After discovering that it was a tendency to be surrounded by the enemy, Yang Feng couldn't help but feel a little anxious and ordered Xu Huang like this.

The terrain of Shanxi is too unfavorable for the party that actively wants to attack or break through. The mountains, rivers and rivers cut the terrain to a very broken shatter, and the defense can form a large encirclement at any time and anywhere with a very small force.

Although it seems that there are only obstacles such as Wangwu Mountain, Qinshui and Danshui on the rough map, in fact, as long as you look at the history of the "Changping Battle", you will know that there is an Kongcang Ridge cutting battlefield that crosses Qinshui, and there are many small ridges such as Kongcang Ridge.

Xu Huang couldn't help feeling embarrassed: "Mr. Qu, although Ding Yuan has few soldiers, it is very difficult for us to break through with the right location. It's not that I'm afraid of fighting. I really don't want my brothers to attack and die in vain. Moreover, Mr. Qu should not underestimate the Lu Bu who led the troops. I heard that he was in Xihe in the early years and Yanmen was quite famous."

Yang Feng: "Then isn't Lu Bu a chief clerk? That's the civil servant around Ding Yuan. How can you know if you don't try it? You will break through the siege tomorrow morning!"

Xu Huang had no choice but to prepare for a fight.

The next morning, on the fifth day of November, Xu Huang was ordered to select the breakthrough troops, open a wide front, and try to cross the Qinshui breakthrough.

The few soldiers of Lu Bu on the other side were unable to defend everywhere, so he concentrated his troops to defeat them one by one, and first destroyed several decoy troops who had tentatively crossed the river. Finally, Xu Huang opened a hole in the mobile warfare, allowing a vanguard of thousands of people to stand firm on the east bank of Qinshui and lined up to wait for Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was just killing easily, and was very arrogant and rushed over with two thousand Bingzhou cavalry and took Xu Huang straight.

"Lu Fengxian of Wuyuan is here, and the thief will die!" Today, Lu Bu's armor and war horses are still relatively simple, and there are no exaggerated tassels on his helmet, but the momentum on the battlefield is no longer weak. The Bingzhou cavalry was prohibited under his command, and there was a faint power of wind and thunder when charging.

There were few cavalrymen in Baibo's army, but Xu Huang still had more than a hundred cavalry beside him. Because he had just crossed the river and lined up, Xu Huang was not as good as asking the archers to shoot arrows, and both sides directly strangled into a group.

"Clang! Clang!" Several loud noises, Xu Huang tried his best to withstand Lu Bu's two halberds, and the two still passed by - this was not a one-on-one fight against the generals, but led each other to fight against each other to defend the formation. Therefore, the generals had already rushed over after only two moves, and had to face the subsequent deep-seated enemies. Lu Xu and the others concentrated on killing the enemy soldiers beside them.

Lu Bu was surprised. He stabbed Xu Huang under the horse with two halberds. It seemed that he was a bit arrogant. There were actually talents in the thief army who could see martial arts.

Xu Huang was even more shocked. His mouth was numb and his chest was stuffy and vomiting for a long time.

He made a quick decision and knew that if he insisted on crossing the river, he would only be killed by Lu Bu halfway and even more miserably. He quickly ordered the entire army to retreat immediately. Those who had reached the east bank also jumped into the river and fled back.

Lu Bu was few, and he could not swim, and he could not jump into the river to chase him. He just aimed at Bai Bo's army jumping into the river on the shore and shot hundreds of people before being escaped by Xu Huang.

After returning, Xu Huangli, Chen crossed the river and broke through the river and repeatedly persuaded Yang Feng with bloody lessons, making Yang Feng give up his unrealistic fantasy. Although Yang Feng was angry, he had to do so.

Just like at the beginning of the Battle of Changping, Lian Po was unwilling to defend the support and wanted to fight in the field. After being beaten up by the Qin army in Kongcangling, he realized that he could not stand back in Danhe.

In today's battle, the degree of attack on Yang Feng was no less than that of Lian Po's blow back.

Fortunately, I brought a lot of food to the robbery. At worst, I couldn’t take it back to my hometown, but I could still eat it for one or two months.

That night, Yang Feng explained: "Let's just stick to the waiting for assistance. The army and chariots cannot escape the pursuit of the cavalry. Then send a light cavalry messenger to pull open the gap in the defense line between Lu Bu and Guan Yu, and ask the messenger to find Guo Shuai, Hu Cai and Li Le for help. We are willing to give half of the robbed wealth to friendly troops and let them rescue them. If they can attack us from the front and back, Lu Bu will not be able to block us."

Xu Huang had no reason to object to this arrangement, so he continued to implement it.

After all, the siege around Changping is different from the siege. Guan Yu and Lu Bu can only defend against the slow army breaking through, and cannot defend against the light cavalry sending letters.

But within two days, the reinforcements had not arrived, but Lu Bu sent a letter to Yang first.

Yang Feng opened his eyes and immediately cursed.

Xu Huang was aside and was confused for a moment, so he couldn't help but persuade Yang Feng to calm down: "Why is Mr. Qu furious?"

Yang Feng pointed at the letter fiercely: "Lu Bu dared to speak, and even asked us to buy 100 million yuan for gold and silk. He let go of Qinshui defense line and pretended that the defense was not strict and allowed us to leave. He also said that the hundreds of thousands of stones of salt were too conspicuous, and he didn't want to bear the name of thieves, so don't, just have all our gold and silk. Haha, he still feels that he has a small appetite?"

Xu Huang quickly picked up the letter and looked carefully. It turned out that Lu Bu was very straightforward, because what Guan Yu promised him was to destroy Yang Feng and divide the amount by 55% after he could destroy Yang Feng. If Guan Yu's next batch of reinforcements arrived and the forces of Hedong County were further higher than those of the Hanoi soldiers, then the share of Ding Yuan and Lu Bu would be reduced, and only 30% would be given by then.

Lu Bu was considering that "30% of gold and silk plus 30% of salt is not as valuable as all gold and silk", so after doing the calculation, he gave Yang Feng a chance and let him go as long as he handed over all the money.

Guan Yu probably never dreamed that he followed Li Su's plan and had such a big loophole - the friendly forces he encountered this time had such a low moral integrity, and he could buy money by giving a little private order.

Unfortunately, Yang Feng was reluctant to let him go. He felt that he had not paid so much to let Li Lehu come to save him. Since that is the case, why should he surrender to Lu Bu?

Xu Huang begged: "Ship Qu, I think it's better to give all the money to Lu Bu. If you have to wait for Hu Cai and Li Le to rescue him, even if you come, the brothers will have to suffer heavy casualties in this bloody battle to break through Lu Bu. You can't just look at the money, will the lives of the brothers not matter?"

Yang Feng waved his hand: "Gongming, how can we have such a kindness as a woman? People's lives are not worth much in troubled times, and these soldiers have not been with us for long. As long as the court continues to be in a mess, we will have a steady stream of soldiers! But I remember this spring famine, when we were overwhelmed by the money, grain, taxes and taxes offered to Fuluo, we could exchange a life for you in two dou of rice!

I still remember that when Guo Shuai took us and Hu Cai to attack Shangdanghu Pass, no one broke through the gap in the wall. In the end, he relied on human corpses to the same height as the gap! How did those death warriors raise? It wasn’t it that the five white-floss cakes for the arrested hungry people were only one life! Even if ten thousand brothers died, as long as they save the money, there will be tens of thousands of hungry people waiting for us to raise them when they go back, just grab them!"

Xu Huang was stunned when he heard this. How could the accounts be settled like this? This is not to treat brothers as human beings!

At that time, five noodles are one life, and the most painful time in spring, there is no way, how can you continue to do this now!

However, there was no way, because the price could not be negotiated for a while, and Yang Feng was once again confident that "Lu Bu was negotiating with us, he must be afraid that Hu Cai would attack him behind him", so the more he was, the more he refused to compromise.

This is also a fault for Lu Bu, who has insufficient IQ. The tone and attitude of the letter he persuaded to give the other party to pay was not vivid enough, which makes people see the illusion of "I don't want to fight a tough battle". By chance, it ended up like this.

He is obviously a hawkish, but he is regarded as a dove in writing. He can only say that his writing skills are not good enough.

So, half a month later, the Baibo army and the official army came to the fork. In mid-November, Hu Cai, one of the commanders of Baiboqu, came to support Yang Feng first, but Lu Bu divided his troops into Qinshui and Danshui, and Hu Cai was unable to cross the river.

However, because the enemy was not tamed enough, Lu Bu fought another battle with him, resulting in casualties in Lu Bu's army. The price of "war compensation" issued by the angry Lu Bu's army was even higher.

Yang Feng made more promises to lure the support of Qu coach Li Le. Finally, Li Le and Hu Cai worked together, and Lu Bucai gave up the interception in Danshui, allowing Yang Li Hu to successfully join forces.

However, Lu Bu had the advantage of cavalry speed, was able to fight and run, and further detoured to the Baili Shi in the rear, and included all the Yang, Li and Hu families. Guan Yu, on the front battlefield, further pursued Yang Feng's breakthrough in the northeast direction, and chased Qinshui, which was abandoned by Yang Feng, and forced Danshui from the south.

As a result, Yang Lihu just retreated less than a hundred miles northeast, but was finally surrounded by more and more Guan Yu and Lu Bu's troops. The soldiers on both sides gathered more and more. The three Baibo family Qu generals had a total of 50,000 or 60,000, and the Han army also increased to 15,000. The third wave of Guan Yu's army was also transported, and this time it was 5,000 Wuhuan cavalry.

Both sides entered a state of insufficient offense but excess defense. The three Baibo Qu coaches knew that there were many cavalry in the Han army, so they could only build bases and defend according to the terrain. As long as they entered the mobile warfare, they would definitely be eroded by Guan Yu and Lu Bu.

This is like the second-machine subsidy war in the later business world. At first, I just felt that I couldn't swallow it in one breath and wanted to end the battle with one subsidy, but who knew that the other party also followed the bargaining chips. In the end, it was like a martial arts master competing for internal strength. Whoever withdraws first will be seriously injured or even have life worries.

"If I had known it would have become like this, I would have promised to give Lu Bu 100 million yuan to let us go. Why should I be so greedy?" Yang Feng drowned his sorrow with the only bad wine in the army every day, and his regret was so blue.

"Why did I offer a price of 100 million in the secret letter? If I had only 80 million less, would Yang Feng give it? There was no need to continue fighting?" Lu Bu also regretted in the camp.

Of course, he was not tired of war, but he simply felt that even if he had won, he would not get the big shot.

As both sides have already placed their bets and suppressed, no one can stop and can only continue to increase their bets. Even if the value of the chips they compete for at the beginning is far less than the bets added later.

Bai Bo's army continued to pat the light cavalry messenger over mountains and rivers to find the Southern Xiongnu pseudo-chanyu Subu Guduhou. Guan Yu and Lu Bu of course also wanted to find the Southern Xiongnu regular Chanyu Yufuluo. Both sides were chasing around and huddling the cards and piled up more and more chips on the card table.

However, compared with Yang Feng, Guan Yu had one more advantage, that is, he knew that Yang Lihu was surrounded by Changping, and sooner or later he would have food to eat.

The tens of thousands of stones of military ration they robbed on the road now have to be given to 50,000 or 60,000 people. How long can they eat?
