The marching speed of regular soldiers and horses is slower, because they must take the main road, and the vehicles transporting weapons and food can only move. They also need to choose a camping location in advance, instead of stopping to camp at any time until the sun goes down.

When camping, look for a spacious place, and it must be near a water source.

If you enter enemy territory, you must find a place to camp that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Although Liu Bei only had 3,000 soldiers and horses, he did not expect that Wang Ying would come to help Cong Qian, so he left in no hurry, and there were many mountainous roads on the way. Only when he arrived outside Cong Qian's Wubao did he know that Wang Ying of Dong Mou County was there.

The battalion led 3,000 people to help and had already entered Wubao.

He ordered to camp one mile away from Congqian's Wubao.

"I really didn't expect that Wang Ying would bring someone to help Qian and Yuan Sheng. Do they have a good relationship?"

In the big tent, Liu Bei sat in the main seat and asked the meritorious officer Li Ye.

Zhou Xing and others sat on both sides.

"I've never heard of them having a good relationship, but I've never heard of them being at odds with each other. These two have always been at odds with each other, but for some reason they got together this time."

Li Ye also felt puzzled and couldn't understand why Wang Ying came to help with money.

"However," Li Ye continued, "Wang Ying has read some books and once served as a county official. He is very brave in martial arts. For some reason, he turned a group of people into thieves a few years ago. This man has some wits and plans, and he is not as good as money.

He is so greedy, but the complaints in Dongmou are not that obvious. On the contrary, the man who is greedy for money, harms the village, kills as he pleases, and is extremely evil."

Li Ye has served as Donglai Gongcao for many years and is quite familiar with these situations. He also said: "There are five or six thousand people from Qian, and now Wangying has brought three thousand people to help. They have eight or nine thousand people, and we only have

Three thousand soldiers, I'm afraid it's hard to win!"

"Huh, so what if there are eight or nine thousand people. Brother, give me a thousand people, and I will kill the heads of these two thieves."

Zhang Fei had been holding back his energy for a long time and had no place to use it. He had no chance to use force when he went to Qi State before. Now that he came to suppress the thieves, he had long wanted to kill him.

Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Fei and did not take his words seriously. He turned to Zhou Xing and asked: "Strategy advisor, what do you think?"

Zhou Xing had previously sent people to investigate and had some understanding of the situation of these two people.

Not only was Wang Ying a bit clever, but also Cong Qian, although he was a brutal and indiscriminate murderer, he was also a cautious person who was prepared for danger in times of peace, so he stocked up a lot of food just in case.

To be able to become the leader of thieves, there must be something special about them.

"Although there are many thieves, they are two groups of people who are not familiar with each other. It will be difficult for them to work together. If we fight, we will definitely win. However, what I am worried about is not whether we can win, but whether they will fight."

"You mean they want to garrison Wubao and refuse to go to war? They have so many people, are they still afraid of us?"

Li Ye believes that the opponent has many people and will not dare to fight.

"We have defeated Guan Tong and Guan Hai. Moreover," Zhou Xing looked at Zhang Fei and said, "The name of Zhang Sima, a black-faced general, has spread throughout Donglai. No one is afraid of him. They dare not

It is also possible to go to war."

Zhou Xing turned to Li Ye and said: "You also said that the king's camp has some clever tricks. He should understand that with a mob like them who cannot unite, it is difficult for them to match us. The best way is for them to defend the fortress.

Policy."

Liu Bei sighed: "If this is true, it will be difficult!"

Although Wubao is not as good as Gaocheng, it is impossible to attack by force. After all, I only have three thousand soldiers, and the losses in the attack will be too great. I will only choose to attack by force as a last resort.

Zhou Xing smiled and said: "But it's hard to say, maybe they are taking advantage of the large number of people to fight."

"If they fight, can we win?"

Li Ye was not very confident about this. The last time he won against Guan Hai, he chased him while he was retreating. Now it was a head-on confrontation, and the opponent's men were three times as many as his.

Zhou Xing looked at Zhang Fei again and said, "With Zhang Sima here, we will definitely win."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Hey, Military Advisor Zhou is nothing... nothing..."

"Legitimate policy." Liu Bei said the last two words for him.

"Yes, it's an exhaustive strategy. Hehe, I heard my second brother say it, but I just couldn't remember it for a moment. What Military Advisor Zhou said has come true. He said I can win, so I will definitely win."

Zhang Fei is now more and more fond of Zhou Xing and respects him more and more.

"Even if I don't say anything, Zhang Sima can still win."

Zhou Xing added something, which immediately made Zhang Fei even more happy: "Yes, I can win. Those thieves are not enough for me to kill. Brother, I must lead the troops tomorrow."

In fact, even if Zhang Fei didn't say anything and went to the battlefield, Liu Bei would let him take the lead.

Now there is no one more suitable to lead the charge than him. A charging general like him is really rare. Guan Yu can do it, but he stayed to defend the city.

After resting for a night, Liu Bei led his troops out of the camp at dawn and lined up outside Wubao to call for battle.

Zhang Fei led 500 elites in the front line, Liu Zheng led 500 people in the second place, and Liu Bei personally led 2,000 people in the rear, using the formation strategy used to deal with Guan Tong.

With a fierce general like Zhang Fei and an attack with five hundred selected soldiers, not only can he break through the enemy's formation, but he can also make the enemy soldiers fearful and fearful, and they dare not fight to the death.

However, this strategy can be used to deal with these mobs, but it may not be effective against powerful enemies in regular formations.

Zhou Xing was wearing armor and holding a sword in his hand. He stood beside Liu Bei and looked at the Wubao barrier, which was half a city high.

The fortress is full of thieves, all with weapons in their hands, and there are even many archers.

On the top of the fortress gate, there were two people wearing brocade robes and holding knives in their hands, looking towards them.

Li Ye, who was behind him, pointed at the two men and introduced them: "The taller one is Wang Ying, and the shorter and thinner one is Cong Qian. Judging from their situation, maybe as Wen Sheng said, they don't want to go to war."

Liu Bei saw that the opponent was on the defensive, focusing only on barrier defense and had no intention of fighting.

Although the fortress is not as difficult to attack as the city, Liu Bei does not want to lose his pitiful soldiers to these thieves.

"Master Fu, I'm going to persuade them to see if I can persuade them to surrender." Merit Cao Li Ye said.

Liu Bei nodded. Although he didn't have any hope, he could still give it a try.

Zhou Xing immediately said: "I'll go with you."

Liu Bei nodded again and said: "Okay, it would be better if we could persuade them to surrender."

Zhou Xing and Li Ye walked under the barrier and looked up.

"From Qian, Wang Ying, I am Li Ye, a meritorious officer. You should recognize me."

Li Ye shouted loudly: "General Liu led his troops here today, not to take your heads, but to hope that you can disband your troops and stop plundering the countryside so that the people can return home in peace. General Liu is

He is a benevolent person. As long as you agree to do this, he will not pursue the past matters again and will let you live."

"Shit!" Cong Qian on the wall responded loudly, "In the past, the governor never came to take care of us. As soon as Liu Bei took office, he led his troops to attack. Do you really think we are fools? You still want us to disband our troops.

Go out and surrender, huh, let me tell you, I will never surrender. If Liu Bei has the ability, he will attack me and behead me. I will have no complaints."

"Cong Qian, don't be stubborn. If you refuse to surrender, you will be beheaded when the fort is broken. Guan Hai is so strong that General Liu will be defeated easily. You guys can stop General Liu."

Soldiers and horses?"

"Hahaha," Cong Qian laughed and said, "Don't even think about provoking me to fight. I know Liu Bei's soldiers are talented and brave. No matter whether he is strong or not, I will not fight. The lives of my brothers are worth a lot of money! Li Gong

Cao, go and tell Liu Bei that I will not touch his Huang County, and he will not touch our Mouping and Dongmu. Let him lead his troops back. Otherwise, Guan Haike will lead his troops to capture his Huang County.

Hahaha..."

Li Ye turned his head and glanced at Zhou Xing next to him. He had nothing to say and there was no way he could persuade them to surrender.

Zhou Xing also noticed that this person had some self-awareness about money, was not a show-off person, and was not easy to deal with.

He looked at Wang Ying who was standing next to Cong Qian and shouted loudly: "Wang Ying, I heard that you have studied and been a county official, and you have not harmed the people, so you are a sensible person. You should know that General Liu

Our will to protect the people is as strong as a rock, and we will never retreat easily. Even if we retreat now, we will ask state soldiers to come for reinforcements. No matter what, you will be wiped out sooner or later."

"Those who know the current situation are heroes. You should understand the current situation. You can defend it for a month, but you cannot defend it for a year. It is better to surrender immediately and work with General Liu to protect the country and the people. In the future, you can make a name for yourself and be praised by the people.
