Three thousand cavalry stopped in front of this mountain.
Wang Shuang wondered: "My lord, this bare place can't hide anyone at all."
Liu Chengdao: "Who said that I, the general, hid the soldiers up there?
Let's hide on the back of the mountain.
When Li Min's men and horses pass by, they will suddenly appear and rush down to disperse them to make arrangements.
Time is running out.
They are here."
They are only ten miles away from us at most.
We must ambush and clear away the traces around them before they arrive."
"Yes" Wang Shuang agreed with clasped fists, and immediately waved to the soldiers and horses behind him: "Follow me."
Wang Shuang led his men and horses around to the back of the mountain, while Liu Cheng and two hundred personal guards stayed behind to clean up the large amount of horse hoof prints and fresh horse manure left by the war horses.
Details determine success or failure.
These horse hoof prints and fresh horse manure can easily reveal the fact that a large number of cavalry have appeared here just now.
If the opponent sends out reconnaissance cavalry, it will not be difficult to find and notice these traces.
Li Min will definitely be alert after receiving the report.
At that time, it was not so easy to easily deal with this grain transport team.
Not long after Liu Cheng and three thousand cavalry officers had just captured the troops on the back of the mountain, a group of soldiers and horses with the banner of "Li" appeared three miles away.
Liu Cheng squatted on the top of the mountain and built a pergola to observe the situation.
Support soldiers and horses from far to near.
There are one thousand soldiers and horses, plus three thousand civilians, more than two hundred carts, and only a few dozen mules and horses.
The remaining carts have to be pushed by the peasants or pulled with ropes, but now those carts Most of the carts were empty, and only a dozen carts contained grain, which was their ration for returning to Yingchuan.
"Go on, no one is allowed to reveal their weapons in advance without my general's order."
Liu Cheng observed for a while and then ordered Wang Shuang.
He was also worried that revealing his weapons would reflect the sun's rays and make them easily exposed.
"Follow your orders" The mouths of the war horses are all covered, and they have to be covered.
Although the war horses have been trained, there is no guarantee that they will not scream when they are ambushed.
Only by covering their mouths, they will not scream. .
Gradually, Li Min's men and horses were getting closer and closer.
Liu Cheng was extremely patient.
He also believed that his soldiers would not disobey orders and attack first.
He and they waited quietly, just following Li Min's movements.
The men and horses were getting closer and closer, and the attention of the Northern Army soldiers became more and more focused.
When the grain transport team completely entered the ambush range, Liu Cheng got on his horse and made a gesture backward.
All the soldiers behind him got on their horses one after another.
Liu Cheng rode up the mountain and waved forward with his hand raised.
The knights behind him Together we rode to the highest point of the mountain.
When all the cavalry officers and soldiers appeared on the mountain ridge, Liu Cheng took off the broken army boring machine and pointed forward and shouted: "Kill" "kill" Three thousand cavalry soldiers, led by Liu Cheng, rushed down from the mountain ridge to the fields on the hillside.
The sound of charging by the Northern Army cavalry soldiers was heard all over the mountains and plains.
The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and the wheat fields were trampled and kicked by horse hooves until the dust flew up. , smoke and dust shot straight into the sky.
Countless shouts of killing were heard going down the mountain.
The soldiers of the Yingchuan County grain transport team who were lining up in a long snake formation at the foot of the mountain heard the noise and turned their heads to look up the hillside.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically and they looked frightened. , many people could not help shouting: "Ambush, there is an ambush, run away" The county soldiers did not have much combat effectiveness at all, and civil servants like Li Min who did not understand military affairs could not lead an army that abided by military discipline and remained calm in times of crisis.
Before the cavalry officers and soldiers of the Northern Army rushed over, these county soldiers were frightened.
He dropped his weapons and fled in all directions.
No matter how much the prefect Li Min shouted, it was of no avail.

In the end, he could only be so angry that he took his soldiers and fled with these county soldiers.
Only a few of the civilians followed and ran away, most of them knelt down and held their heads and shouted "surrender".
The common people were very smart people.
They knew they couldn't run away.
How could two legs outrun four legs?
They believed that no matter what, Any kind of army needs civilians like them to work, and under normal circumstances they will not kill them easily.
After fleeing for a while, some of the Yingchuan County soldiers were killed by the Northern Army cavalry who pursued them, but most of them were captured.
The prefect Li Min was not spared either, even though he was riding a horse and had others around him.
More than a dozen soldiers protected him, but he still could not escape.
The prisoners of the Yingchuan County soldiers were driven to a grassland and surrounded.
Everyone was forced to squat on the ground.
Once anyone tried to stand up, they would be shot regardless of the reason.
These veterans of the county soldiers did not abide by military discipline and had no rules.
The oilies finally felt fear and fear and did not dare to move.
The two scribes were escorted in front of Liu Cheng.
They were all disheveled, their clothes were tattered, their faces were dirty, and they were in a miserable state.
Liu Cheng looked at the two people on horseback and asked: "Which one of you is Li Min?"
The middle-aged scribe on the left looked at Liu Cheng, who was wearing a mask.
A trace of fear flashed through his eyes.
He composed himself, forced himself to be calm, held his head high and said: "I am Li Min, the prefect of Yingchuan.
You are Why did the army attack our Yingchuan troops?
Don’t you know?
Is the entire Guandong region now seeking Dong?
This time, I sent military rations to Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha.
Although I did not explicitly respond to the petition to challenge Dong, I also used timing and actions to prove the attitude of our Yingchuan County.
You do this He will be punished by the princes of the world."
Liu Cheng did not speak.
He slowly stretched out his hand to pull up the mask, revealing his true face.
He scanned Li Min, then looked at another slightly younger scribe next to him, and said: "My name is Liu Cheng, and my courtesy name is An Ran.
I am currently serving in court."
He was appointed as the right general in the middle."
"Ah, you, you are the right general Liu Cheng, why are you here?"
Li Min was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs were weak, and he was unsteady.
He took two steps back and sat on the ground.
The two soldiers behind him immediately He adds up.
Liu Cheng moved the Pojun boring machine in his hand and put the tip of the spear against Li Min's throat.
With a little force, he lifted Li Min's chin with the tip of the spear and said, "This general has just arrived from Yingchuan County.
Yangzhai City has already arrived."
They were defeated by my army, and the 20,000 Yuzhou soldiers belonging to the governor Kong Min in the military camp outside the city were defeated by my general."
"It's over, it's over, it's over."
After hearing the news, Li Min's face became bloodless, like a dead man's face, his whole body was completely boneless, and he needed two soldiers to hold him firmly to stand firm.
The younger scribe next to him asked: "General Liu, as the right general of the imperial court, led troops to attack local prefectures and counties and cities without authorization.
It is too unkind.
Isn't he afraid of the world's condemnation and that all the local officials in the world are alienated from the imperial court?"
"?"

"Hahaha" Liu Cheng laughed when he heard this.
After laughing, he said: "The princes of Guandong are in name only to challenge Dong, but in fact they are rebelling.
Do you think that under the banner of challenging Dong, you can cover up the fact and charges of rebellion?"
Well, there are several governors and governors from other prefectures and counties in the Kanto region who have come forward to support the imperial court.
You are secretly funding the rebels.
In fact, there is no difference between this and rebellion."
The young scribe couldn't say anything to refute, but he changed the subject and asked: "You conquered Yangzhai, what happened to the people of Yingchuan County?"
Liu Cheng looked at the young scribe and felt that he looked familiar, so he asked: "Who are you?"
The young scribe cupped his hands and said: "If you don't change your name when you are walking, you won't change your surname if you sit down.
I am Xun Chen in Yingchuan, with the courtesy name Youruo."
Liu Chengxin said that it was no wonder that this man looked familiar.
It turned out to be Xun Yu's brother.
He asked: "Xun Chen, when you ask how the people of Yingchuan are doing, you actually want to ask whether the noble families in Yingchuan have been bloodbathed by this general."
I just want to ask you whether the Xun family was bloodbathed by my general.
You may have The general regards Dong Zhuo and his like.
Although I don’t like the nobles very much, I will not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
Not all wealthy noble families are selfish and put their family and their own interests first.
There are still some Many enlightened, righteous, loyal and patriotic people."
Xun Chen breathed a sigh of relief and felt that Liu Cheng was not so annoying.
He also felt that it was a pity that this man would join forces with Dong Zhuo to fight against the two armies of the Kwantung princes.
"What does the general want to do with us?"
Liu Cheng shouted: "Li Min, the prefect of Yingchuan, has committed an unpardonable crime by collaborating with the rebels.
If you come, drag him down and chop him down."
Li Min was so frightened that he peed his pants.
At that moment, he did not care about propriety, justice and shame, and loudly begged for mercy: "General, spare your life.
I was confused for a moment and was bewitched by a villain to do such a stupid thing.
General, please give me a chance."
Liu Cheng waved his hand: "It's too late.
If I had known this, why bother to delay it in the first place?"
Two soldiers dragged Li Min to the side.
One of them held him down and knelt on the ground.
The other pulled out his sword and slashed it down.
A head rolled to the ground and blood spurted out far away.
Xun Chen was so frightened that he backed away and sat down on the ground.
His face was so pale that there was no trace of blood.
The prisoners of Yingchuan County soldiers who were surrounded by him were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and shouted: "General, spare your life, spare your life!"
Liu Cheng ignored the pleas for mercy from these veterans of the county soldiers.
He looked at Xun Chen and said, "Xun Youruo, how should I deal with you?
As a subordinate of Li Min, you are guilty of collaborating.
According to the law, you must Kill, but your brother Xun Wenruo is now my right-hand man.
If I kill you, Wenruo's face will not look good.
You really put this general in trouble."
Xun Chen was originally very scared.
When he heard that Xun Yu was an official under Liu Cheng, he immediately shouted: "You should kill me.
Xun Yu is Xun Yu and I am me.

I have nothing to do with him." .
If my friend Xun doesn’t need anyone’s mercy, if I need other people’s charity to survive, I would rather choose to die.”
"Oh."
Liu Cheng was a little surprised at Xun Chen's reaction.
He hung the Pojun boring machine on the victory hook, jumped off his horse, walked to Xun Chen, looked around him, and said, "It seems that there is a relationship between you and Wen Ruo.
There are quite a few contradictions.
I’m very curious as to why you had such a strong reaction when you heard Xun Yu’s name.”
Xun Chen turned his head to one side and said, "If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please."
Liu Cheng smiled and waved: "Come here, take him with you, keep an eye on him, and don't let him run away.
If Xun Wenruo asks me for someone, wouldn't it be bad if I can't get him?"
One of the guards clasped his fists and agreed: "Yes" "Kill me if you dare, kill me" Xun Zhan was escorted away while shouting.
Wang Shuang stepped forward and asked: "Lord, what should we do with these county soldiers?"
Liu Cheng thought for a moment and then ordered: "These are some old veterans who can't fight, but they can run the fastest.
Pull out their armor and helmets, give them a good education and warning, and then drive them away.
It's a death penalty."
Whether they live or not depends on their luck."
