Wang Gong came out in person, and Liu, Guan, and Zhang did not ask for help. They all dismounted and returned the salute to him.
"Prefect Liu doesn't know how many troops he brought to rescue Dongjun this time."
Liu Bei's modest and gentlemanly appearance somewhat dispelled Wang Gong's panic.
"Not much, ten thousand soldiers and horses."
After hearing what Wang Gong said, Liu Bei reported his troops directly.
"Only 10,000 troops? Bai Rao has 50,000 or 60,000 troops. In addition, he has newly defeated Baima. I am afraid that the current strength is at least 70,000 or 80,000. Dongjun is at rest. Dongjun is at rest."
When he heard that Liu Bei only brought 10,000 troops, Wang Hu's face instantly turned ashen.
Dongjun also has between 10,000 and less than 20,000 soldiers, but they are still vulnerable to the Yellow Turban Army. In his opinion, Liu Bei's more than 10,000 troops are not enough to serve as a snack for the Yellow Turban Army.
"Hmph, it's just the Yellow Turbans. Not to mention that my eldest brother brought ten thousand soldiers, even three to five thousand men can kill them."
After hearing Wang Gong's words, Zhang Fei was so angry that his nostrils were boiling. If ten thousand elite soldiers couldn't defeat tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans, they wouldn't even mention rescuing Dongjun.
"Just asking for advice, who is this?"
Zhang Fei was already a bit scary-looking, but now his eyes widened even more when he was angry, which made Wang Gong tremble so much that he almost fell to his knees.
"This is my third brother Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, and this is my second brother Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang."
Liu Bei was very proud to introduce his two adopted brothers to Wang Gong. He was able to reach this point not only due to timing, but also to a greater extent because of the hard work of his two brothers.
"That's right, it's just a yellow scarf, I don't take it to heart at all."
Guan Yu was also extremely arrogant and looked at Wang Gong as if he were a fool.
"Prefect Liu, since your two brothers are so confident, then Dongjun depends entirely on you. If you can defeat the Yellow Turbans and rescue Dongjun, I will definitely surrender Dongjun to you. Please come into the city now."
Wang Gong bowed to Liu, Guan, and Zhang again.
"Prefect Wang is joking, Liu Bei is not here to seize your land in Dongjun, but to wipe out the Yellow Turbans and uphold justice."
Liu Bei was about to enter the city with Wang Gong, when suddenly a fast horse came galloping from a distance.
"Lord, urgent military report."
"speak."
When an emergency military report came, Liu Bei didn't even bother entering the city and just let the scout speak.
"Bai Rao and his 60,000 troops have entered the territory of Puyang and are now stationed at Xihe Mountain, fifty miles away."
The scout's words made everyone stunned. They didn't expect Bai Lao to come so quickly and in such large numbers.
"Prefect Liu, what should we do now?"
When he heard the Yellow Turban attack, Wang Gong's face turned pale, his legs trembled and he almost knelt down.
"Prefect Wang, I will leave it to Liu Bei next. Second brother, third brother, let's go."
After Liu Bei finished speaking, he directly sat on the horse, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also mounted at the same time.
"Prefect Liu, take care."
"Farewell."
The three of them rode towards their military camp.
After returning to the camp, Liu Bei stood in front of Kanyu and remained motionless for a long time.
"Brother, do you have any ideas to defeat the enemy?"
Zhang Fei glanced at Liu Bei and then at Kanyu.
"Second brother, third brother, come with me to Yanhua Slope to have a look."
"promise."
"promise."
Finally, Liu Bei's eyes lit up and he fixed his gaze on Yanhua Slope.
The three of them ran out wildly, bypassing Puyang City and heading towards Yanhua Slope.
"Second brother, how do you feel here?"
The three of them circled twice at Yanhua Slope, and then Liu Bei's eyes were filled with light.
"Brother, this place is indeed a good place for an ambush. If you want to defeat Bai Rao, you must do it here."
Looking at Liu Bei, Guan Yu also had a flash of light in his eyes.
The terrain of Yanhua Slope is flat, but there are many ditches and slopes. It is the most suitable for ambush of surprise soldiers. As long as they divide their troops into two groups, one of them stops the Bai Rao tribe in front of Yanhua Slope, and then all the surprise soldiers are sent out. They will be able to defeat Bai Rao in one fell swoop under the attack from the front and rear.
.
"Eldest brother, second brother, what are you talking about?"
Zhang Fei couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Liu Bei and Guan Yu playing riddles in front of him.
"Yide, this battle will still depend on you."
Looking at Zhang Fei who was a little confused, Liu Bei smiled slightly.
Although Zhang Fei's character is somewhat reckless, if he were a special soldier, no matter who he was, he would drink a big pot.
"Everything depends on brother's instructions."
Zhang Fei nodded.
"Go back and send troops. We will travel on a starry night today to defeat Bai Yao in this battle."
After returning to the military camp, Liu Bei ordered Zhang Fei to lead 3,000 elite troops to ambush in the ditch slope of Yanhua Slope, while he and Guan Yu led 7,000 troops to camp at the exit of Yanhua Slope, waiting for Bai Luo to come.
The Bailuo tribe moved very fast, marching nearly forty miles a day, and at noon the next day they had already arrived outside Yanhua Slope.
"Brothers, this place is only thirty miles away from Puyang. We are all working hard. I will treat you all to a drink tonight."
Bai Rao was excited when he looked at Yanhua Slope, because according to the map, this Yanhua Slope can be said to be the chokepoint of Puyang. As long as he passes Yanhua Slope, he will be driving a knife to his head. When the time comes, he will
With a little publicity, it is not impossible to capture Puyang without losing any blood.
Don't blame Bai Yao for not investigating. In fact, their scouts are just there to support you. They can see the obvious things at a glance. It would be embarrassing for them to let go of the details and explore everywhere.
"Report to the commander-in-chief that there is a large camp in front of Yanhuapo, with probably thousands of soldiers and horses, blocking the way,"
The scout responded by flattering him.
"Do you know who the master of Dazhai is?"
Hearing that there were soldiers and horses in front of him, Bai Rao couldn't help but frown.
Wang Gong's prefecture soldiers were beaten to the point of collapse by him, and now they dare to let them go to fight in the field. They are really desperate for their lives.
"I only saw that the camp was flying the flag of Commander Liu, but I didn't know who was in charge."
The scout stated his judgment very simply.
"Commander, no matter who he is, let me lead my brothers to defeat them."
Sun Dali came to Bai Rao and asked him for orders to attack.
"Okay, I will allow you to lead the 10,000 troops in our headquarters to charge and kill, and we will be the central army to support you."
"promise."
After saying this, Sun Dali looked overjoyed and hurried back to his camp. After organizing his soldiers, he led the team directly towards Yanhua Slope.
"Sir, this old man Wang Gong didn't send troops to reinforce the city, but he came here to stop us. Be careful that there is a trick in this."
After Sun Dali left, Zhou Huxu came to Bai Rao and gave him advice.
"Zhou Sheng, you are worrying too much. In the face of absolute strength, no matter how clever Wang Gong tries, it will be useless. If Sun Dali is ambushed, as long as our army presses forward, the enemy will collapse."
Although Bai Rao is a Yellow Turban, he still understands the general situation. He has 60,000 troops and horses, and the enemy can only hold up 10,000 to 20,000 people. If three of them fight one, no matter how elite the enemy is, they cannot withstand his own bombardment.
