The army entered Dongyuan Town and sent many scouts along the way. The continuous news was transmitted from the front. The army was unblocked and the road was smooth.

"Report."

The scout quickly ran back, turned over and dismounted. Reported: "General. The road ahead is blocked."

Wang Lei asked: "What's the situation?"

The scout looked grim and said, "The road ahead is located between two hillsides. A big rock blocks the road. It is difficult to move forward in a short period of time."

Wang Lei ordered: "Did the passageway immediately. You can't delay the time you are rushing."

"promise."

The scout went to pass the order and let the former soldiers open up the blocked road.

Guo Jia rode a horse and frowned and said, "Last night, Xu Rong sent troops to harass us. Today, he sent troops to fall down big rocks to block our path. I'm afraid there are countless methods next. I think the other party intends to shake our morale. Xu Rong is very cunning."

Wang Lei smiled slightly and said, "Fengxiao's analysis makes sense. But no matter what Xu Rong is thinking, it will not stop our pace in the end. Once the army is at the city, Xu Rong will undoubtedly be defeated."

Guo Jia nodded and agreed with Wang Lei's analysis.

Half an hour later, the road was cleared and the army continued to advance.

However, after less than an hour of leaving, the scout ran back and reported: "General. The bridge leading to Lu County in front was destroyed. You have to cross the river unless you wade through the water."

"Oh. How is the river water?"

Wang Lei asked, but he became alert in his heart.

If Xu Rong's soldiers set up ambush upstream and the army crossed the river, Xu Rong's army broke the dike and released the water. The situation would be bad.

The scout thought for a while and replied: "Report to the general. The river is two meters wide. The water flows slowly. The water is very shallow. You can even clearly see the bottom of the river. It depends on the situation. It seems that there is an ambush."

When Wang Lei heard this, he ordered: "Lead the way. I'll go and take a look."

When it comes to crossing the river, Wang Lei must be cautious.

The soldiers led the way. Wang Lei and everyone rushed to the road quickly. Soon after, they came to the river.

Wang Lei stood by the river and looked carefully. This river was only two meters wide and had a knee-deep depth. It was a very small river.

Wang Lei pondered for a moment and said, "Fengxiao. What should you do?"

Guo Jia replied: "Lord, the river is only two meters wide. But the river water washed down, the water is deep and the distance is two meters high. In a short period of time, it is enough to divide our soldiers into two sections. At that time, the army is divided into two. The soldiers on the other side of the river are likely to be attacked."

Wang Lei thought about it carefully, suddenly narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The reason is this. Have Fengxiao thought about it? If this is a plan set by the other party, I think it is an opportunity to lead the other party. Furthermore, the soldiers crossing the river are ready to defend immediately. As long as the defense is properly, there will be no problem. Even this is an opportunity to annihilate the other party."

Xu You agreed: "The lord's analysis. I think it makes sense."

Shen Pei nodded and also had a look of agreement.

Ju Su said, "Lord, I suggest sending a scout to search along the upstream of the river."

Compared with Xu You and Shen Pei, Ju Su is more cautious.

Wang Lei nodded and looked at Lu Bu. He ordered: "Brother. Send fifty cavalry. Search immediately."

Lu Bu immediately ordered the cavalry to inquire about the news.

A quarter of an hour later, the scout came back to report the news. There was no situation. Wang Lei no longer hesitated and ordered the soldiers to cross the river. The whole process was not affected.

The army has passed most of the time. There is still no situation.

Wang Lei began to bring people across the river. Immediately, Ju Su, Shen Pei and others also crossed the river one by one.

Tens of thousands of troops crossed the river and were not ambushed.

Wang Lei frowned slightly and thought to himself that he was a little scared. He was actually scared by a small river. The army advanced. Halfway through, he encountered scattered troops blocking him. Xu Rong sent soldiers to make trouble, greatly reducing the speed of the Jizhou army's journey. It was not until the evening that the army arrived in Dongyuan Town.

It took only one day to leave a town, and the speed was slow.

Take down Dongyuan Town. The army camped outside the town. After nightfall, the army was once again attacked. In the second half of the night, Wang Lei lay on the bed and couldn't sleep. Put on his clothes. Wang Lei sat in the tent and ordered: "Tell me the order. Let Ju Su, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu come to the tent."

"promise."

The soldiers went to pass the orders. It didn't take long. Ju Su, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu came to the tent.

After Ju Su and Lu Bu saluted, they sat down. Zhao Yun looked calm and did not look respectful.

Lu Bu asked, "The lord asked us to come overnight. Is there anything wrong?"

Ju Su speculated: "Does the lord plan to fight back?"

Wang Lei nodded and said, "We must start preparing to counterattack. Xu Rong took the strategy of resisting step by step. He wanted to constantly consume our morale. When our army arrived in Lu County, Xu Rong would definitely launch the fiercest attack. For this reason, we must take the initiative to attack."

Lu Bu asked, "The lord's plan is about to come out."

Zhao Yun said lightly: "Wangzhou Mu has any plan. Just say it."

Ju Su's eyes fell on Wang Lei. He was quite looking forward to it.

Wang Lei said: "Now Xu Rong's eyes are all on our army. Our every move has attracted Xu Rong's attention. I plan to take the strategy of secretly seizing Chen Cang. I still advance openly with the army. Then, Zilong and Mr. Ju lead the army to leave the camp quietly. After approaching, they raided the county town of Lu County."

When Lu Bu heard that he had no self, he asked, "Lord, where is me."

Wang Lei said: "Brother is famous all over the world and his target is too obvious. If the brother is not by my side, it will easily arouse Xu Rong's suspicion. Therefore, the brother must stay. The reason for letting the brother come is that he needs to dispatch the Eagle Falcon Camp to cover Zilong's attack."

Lu Bu sighed lightly, his eyes full of reluctance.

Wang Lei smiled and said, "Brother's Eagle Falcon Battalion has strong combat effectiveness and great movement. If the Eagle Falcon Battalion pursues it overnight, it will definitely attract Xu Rong's attention. At that time, Zilong will leave with the army, and it will be silent."

Lu Bu nodded and said, "I will obey the order."

Wang Lei's eyes fell on Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong. Are you sure."

Zhao Yun asked back: "How many soldiers are given to me?"

Wang Lei kicked the ball back and said, "I will give you as many soldiers as you need."

Zhao Yun calculated carefully and said, "There are too many troops and are easy to be discovered; the number of troops is too small. It is difficult to take down Lu County. Give me three thousand soldiers. Dry food and bows and arrows must be prepared sufficiently."

Ju Su added: "We raided into the city. Xu Rong may counterattack. Therefore, shield soldiers are needed. Among the three thousand soldiers, two thousand ordinary soldiers are the main ones. The remaining one thousand soldiers must be equipped with shields for defense."

"Yes." Wang Lei nodded and looked at Lu Bu. He ordered: "Brother. Mobilize the cavalry of the Eagle Falcon Camp to chase him overnight to attract Xu Rong's attention."

"promise."

When Lu Bu got the order, he went down to prepare immediately.
Chapter completed!
