A group of scouts were tough. Although they were in danger, they did not change their temper at all. Instead, each one of them clamored for the enemy to kill them.
"Haha, they are all tough men. Yes, give them a decent death. Their general has been captured anyway, it doesn't matter whether these people are there or not."
Since they were so strong, Yuan Wei had nothing to say and directly ordered his troops to give them a good time.
"kill."
Upon hearing Yuan Wei's order, the soldiers and horses around them no longer hesitated and charged at the scouts with their steel knives.
"Kill, fight."
The more than twenty scouts did not hesitate, and swung their steel swords towards the surrounding enemies to kill them.
After a period of fighting, except for four of Lu Bu's scouts who fainted, the remaining scouts were all killed without exception.
"A group of men took the captured general to see the general."
Since the enemy in front of him has been completely wiped out, Yuan Wei has nothing to say and directly escorts Song Xian to find Zhao Yun.
"Is everything resolved?"
Seeing Yuan Wei coming, Zhao Yun spoke directly to him.
"There were one hundred cavalrymen and one hundred and one generals in total. In addition to the leading general who was captured, four others were injured and fainted, and the remaining ninety-six were all killed."
Yuan Wei directly replied to Zhao Yun about the results of the ambush battle just now.
"Bring the leaders. I want to hear why they came with their troops in the middle of the night."
After hearing Yuan Wei's words, Zhao Yun also became interested. He wanted to know why these people were rushing on their way in the middle of the night.
"The person is outside, bring him here."
When Yuan Wei heard Zhao Yun's words, he directly clasped his fists and ordered someone to bring Song Xian over.
"Walk."
"hurry up."
"What's the ink stain?"
Song Xian was pushed all the way and came directly to Zhao Yun's horse.
Song Xian glanced at Zhao Yun who was about to arrive, and immediately understood that what he thought was true. Yingdao City was the bait, and the real killing move was Zhao Yun and his soldiers. This journey was only one day away from Yingdao. Once
When they arrived, Lu Bu was in danger.
"Song Xian, haha, we are really enemies on a narrow road. Did you miss Zhao Yun when we said goodbye to Jizhou last time?"
Zhao Yun was stunned when he saw clearly the person tied in front of him. The person he never expected to see was Song Xian, the general under Lu Bu's command.
"Take the cloth off his mouth."
Seeing the white cloth in Song Xian's mouth, Zhao Yun directly asked someone to remove it for him.
"promise."
Yuan Wei directly tore off the sealing cloth from Song Xian's mouth.
"Zhao Yun, aren't you in Yizhou?
When did you arrive in Jingzhou?"
Song Xian spoke directly to Zhao Yun.
"I don't think I need to tell you where I am. If you don't want to stay in a nice camp, why are you here?
Did Lu Bu notice something and sent you here to find out the news?"
Zhao Yun didn't talk nonsense and directly asked Song Xian the reason.
"Haha, what do you think?"
After hearing Zhao Yun's words, Song Xian smiled slightly and did not answer his question at all.
"Do you mean you don't want to say it?"
Zhao Yun glanced at Song Xian. He knew that this person was Lu Bu's confidant. If he didn't want to tell him, he couldn't open his mouth no matter what.
"you guess?"
"Put it down."
Zhao Yun didn't waste any time and directly ordered the soldiers to take Song Xian into custody.
"Zhao Yun, my general already knows your origins. It is absolutely impossible for you to make a sneak attack."
"Put it down."
Yuan Wei glanced at Zhao Yun, and then directly ordered the soldiers to take Song Xian away.
"Yuan Wei, tell me how true or false Song Xian's words are, and whether Lu Bu has really found out about us."
Zhao Yun glanced at Yuan Wei beside him, smiled slightly, and asked him a question.
"I feel that Lu Bu didn't know that we were here, otherwise he would not have sent a hundred people, and Song Xian would have arrived in person. I feel like he is cheating."
Yuan Wei glanced at Zhao Yun and directly expressed his thoughts.
"There is some truth in it after all. Lu Bu must have noticed it now, but he probably hasn't confirmed it yet, so he sent Song Xian and his troops here to investigate the news."
Regarding Yuan Wei's words, Zhao Yun shook his head slightly,
Song Xian is not stupid. The reason why he said that was actually because he was afraid that he would sneak attack Lu Bu. But the more he said this, the more it proved that Lu Bu was not ready yet.
"Then the general means to take advantage of Lu Bu's unprepared time?
Send troops to attack the camp?"
Yuan Wei glanced at Zhao Yun, and a glint flashed in his eyes. Zhao Yun meant to take advantage of his unpreparedness and attack Lu Bu's camp at night.
"What time is it now?"
Zhao Yun glanced at the sky and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
"It has just passed the first watch. If we really have to rush to the camp road, I am sure that we will kill them before the fourth watch and end the battle before dawn."
Yuan Wei was extremely excited. If he rushed with all his strength, he would be sure to arrive before the fourth watch, and he would be able to defeat Lu Bu's army in half an hour at most.
"Although Lu Bu is just guessing about our arrival, his camp must be well prepared. Even if you can arrive before the fourth watch to attack the city at night, you may not get any benefits."
Zhao Yun, however, poured cold water on Yuan Wei. Even if he scared you and led his troops north to camp in Daocheng, so what? Do you really think Lu Bu is an idiot?
If he was really stupid, he would have died in Bingzhou long ago, and he could still be a powerful man for so many years.
"Then what should we do?"
After hearing Zhao Yun's explanation, Yuan Wei frowned slightly.
"what to do?
Continue to advance through the camp according to the original plan. If Lu Bu does not notice our arrival, he will attack the camp at night, but if he notices it, then just attack by force as you think."
Zhao Yun knew that he couldn't be impatient now. If he really led his cavalry to attack Lu Bu's camp northward, he would probably fall into the enemy's trap, and the gain would outweigh the losses. Now that his army was coming to kill him, no matter what, as long as he reached the camp road, Lu Bu would be able to drink a pot.
Already.
"promise."
Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Yuan Wei immediately understood that now they had the advantage. If they sent cavalry to attack at night because they were sure that Lu Bu had not noticed his arrival, if they were ambushed by Lu Bu and lost their troops, then his advantage would be
It may become a disadvantage.
"Let's rest tonight. Since Lu Bu's people have been completely killed, he probably won't send anyone to investigate again in the past two days. We will travel during the day tomorrow and we must reach the camp road before night. Then I will attack Lu Bu's camp at night."
Now that Song Xian has been arrested, Lu Bu will definitely not send people over to investigate the military situation. He can finally go on his way boldly, traveling during the day and taking the opportunity to attack Lu Bu's camp at night.
"As commanded."
Yuan Wei directly clasped his fists, then went down to order the army to rest temporarily and resume their journey during the day tomorrow.
Song Xian was captured by Zhao Yun, and Cao Xing was not slow at all. Under the protection of a hundred scouts, he rushed to the vicinity of Lingdao City.
"Spread out and explore the enemy's situation."
Cao Xing waved his hand directly, telling the scouts around him to disperse and start searching for traces of the enemy.
"promise."
Soon the one hundred scouts were divided into ten teams and began to detect the enemy's traces.
"General, something has been discovered."
Not long after the meeting, a cavalryman came back on horseback and saluted Cao Xing with clasped fists.
"Let's go and have a look with me."
When Cao Xing heard the scout's words, he followed him directly to the predetermined location without hesitation.
"General, look what this is."
A scout pointed at the dark thing in front of him and spoke directly to him.
"This is?"
Cao Xing slowly lowered his body, looked at the thing in front of him, and twisted it with his hand.
"It looks like horse manure to me."
The scout glanced at Cao Xing and directly expressed his judgment.
"It is indeed horse manure. It seems that there were cavalry stationed here originally, and there were quite a few of them. Let's explore again."
Cao Xing nodded to the scout. The horse manure looked like it had been here for a long time, which also proved Song Xian's original inference that the enemy had probably been here for several days.
"promise."
The scouts immediately spread out to look for traces of the enemy again.
"General, there are also discoveries here."
Immediately another scout came to report to Cao Xing.
"Walk."
After hearing this, Cao Xing directly followed the scout to the next place.
"General, look, even though they buried the ashes of the pots and stoves here, we still found them."
Cao Xing arrived and looked at the embers dug out of the fire. Now he was even more sure that a large army had passed by.
"Immediately send people to Lingdao to investigate. I want to know whether these soldiers and horses are in Lingdao."
While Cao Xing was exploring the news outside Lingdao, Li Mao also rode into Lingdao city alone.
"Military advisor, General Zhang He has an urgent military situation."
