Yuan Shu's army did not stop. With Zhao Yun and Gao Lan's 45,000 cavalry as the vanguard, they went all the way south to the eldest son. He took the lead in boarding the army, followed by the guards and 15,000 militiamen in carriages.
The so-called army's direction was unrivaled. When seeing Yuan Shu's army in the counties along the way, they all turned to surrender. Zhanxian, Xiangyuan, Luxian, and even Huguan, which Zhang Yang had high hopes for, also directly offered their city.
Once Huguan was broken, Zhangyang's entire Shangdang County defense was completely wiped out, and there was only a weak Tunliu between Huguan and the eldest son.
After taking Huguan, Zhao Yun and Gao Lan's cavalry crossed Tunliu and attacked the eldest son directly. Yuan Shu led his troops to capture Tunliu first. After passing Tunliu, 70,000 troops surrounded the eldest son.
"General Zilong, my lord, why are you besieging us and not attacking?"
Ju Yi looked at Changzi Cheng in front of him and couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"Ju Yi, do you still remember what the military advisor said when he was protecting Beiguan?"
Zhao Yun looked at Ju Yi in front of him and smiled slightly.
"The military advisor said that the eldest son came here for another purpose, to serve Lu Bu, the Marquis of Wen. However, Lu Bu will definitely rush into the city when he comes. Won't it be even more difficult for us to attack here again?"
Ju Yi couldn't turn his head. He could march to kill the enemy or command him on the battlefield, but he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of this kind of strategic matters.
"Ju Yi, my lord has a tactic called encirclement and reinforcement, do you know?"
Zhao Yun did not look down on Ju Yi, because everyone has his own strengths. Ju Yi's strengths lie in training troops and using his troops to fight against cavalry. He is a good candidate for general.
"Please also ask General Zilong to teach me."
Ju Yi cupped his hands and fists towards Zhao Yun.
"It doesn't have to be like this. The so-called encirclement and reinforcements can actually be said to lure the snake out of its hole. Will the flamboyant reinforcements surrounding Changzi City be anxious? The same goes for Lu Bu. If he learns about this, guess what the consequences will be."
Zhao Yun opened his mouth to encourage Ju Yi.
"Lu Bu will definitely rush to Changzi City at full speed, because there will be more danger there if he is a moment later. You are saying that the lord will ambush Lu Bu on the road."
Ju Yi put himself in his shoes and thought for a moment. If Yuan Shu was besieged, I am afraid that his ministers would desperately want to rescue him, but this time did not come, that is, when the enemy wanted to see him.
"Yes, my lord and the military advisor must have thought so, and I guess the ambush location will be in Sheep's Head Mountain."
Zhao Yunchong nodded to Ju Yi. Thinking of these proves that Ju Yi still has some strategy and is not a fierce general who can only charge into battle.
"Why is it Yangtou Mountain? Lu Bu can also go around to Fajiu Mountain. The road there is smoother and more suitable for the march of the army."
Having said this, Ju Yi finally figured it out and asked a rhetorical question.
"Haha, it all depends on two words."
Zhao Yun smiled slightly and looked at Ju Yi in front of him.
"Those two words?"
Ju Yi became suspicious again.
"Time, Changzi City is under siege. What Lu Bu lacks most now is time. He led his army from Sizhou. Although the journey to Yangtou Mountain is a bit difficult, it will take at least one more day to go around Fajiu Mountain.
, do you think Lu Bu will delay this day?
Therefore, I believe that your lord must choose Sheep Head Mountain to set up an ambush, and it is time for your first troops to establish their authority."
"Dong dong dong."
As soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, Yuan Shu's gathering drum started beating, and the generals went directly to the Chinese army's tent without stopping.
"Everyone is here, let's start."
The four generals Zhao Yun, Gao Lan, Ju Yi, and Dian Wei arrived without any help. Yuan Shu did not hesitate and directly ordered Xun You to start the arrangement.
"Generals, I believe you all know that we are encircling the point for reinforcements. After discussions between my lord and I, we believe that Lu Bu will definitely pass through Yangtou Mountain and then go directly to Changzi City, so we are preparing to set up an ambush at Yangtou Mountain, Ju Yi."
Xun You did not hesitate and directly stated their conjectures.
"My subordinate is here."
When Ju Yi heard his name being called, he took a step forward and knelt down on one knee without hesitation.
"I order you to lead an advance army of 10,000 to ambush at the exit of Yangtou Mountain. The warriors will scatter crossbows and crossbow chariots for you to drive. I want you to use the power of your bows and crossbows to repel Lu Bu's army."
Xun You arranged the advance army in the most dangerous and most exciting place. There is actually a reason why he did this.
One is to test the military quality of Xiandengjun and see Ju Yi’s military training results.
The second is to test Yuan Nu (Zhuge Liannu), how powerful the warrior's scattered crossbow and crossbow carriage are, and whether they can complete the important task of defeating cavalry with foot, so as to accumulate experience for future grassland battles.
The third is that the appearance of infantry will give Lu Bu the illusion that the enemy is weak and he will charge directly into the formation. If Zhao Yun's cavalry is at the exit, Lu Bu may not even stop, but will turn around and flee.
"Ju Yi accepts the order and will certainly live up to his lord's high expectations."
Ju Yi didn't talk nonsense. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and he had also been waiting for this moment for a long time. The enemy was Lu Bu, who was frightened by the world, and his Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. This was his true C-position debut.
"Okay, Zilong."
"My subordinate is here."
"You lead Yingyang's army to ambush in the south of Yangtou Mountain. Once a battle breaks out here, you will lead your army to stop Lu Bu's army retreating south."
"promise."
"Boyu."
"exist."
"You lead the Weilu army and the Wei army as the central army. Behind Ju Yi, hold down the formation for him. Once Lu Bu is defeated, immediately lead your army to pursue him."
"Take orders."
"My lord, Ju Yi has something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not."
The task was assigned, but Ju Yi scratched his head and spoke.
"Say it."
Hearing Ju Yi's words, Yuan Shu couldn't help but be stunned. This arrangement is not very good, what else should he say.
"My lord, why don't you send a group of soldiers and horses to ambush in the forest road of Sheep Head Mountain? When Lu Bu retreats and leaps out to kill the enemy, he will definitely kill the enemy into chaos."
Ju Yi happily expressed his thoughts.
"Ju Yi, do you know who Lu Bu is?"
Yuan Shu smiled slightly and did not answer his question immediately.
"Wenhou Lü Bu is a fierce general who is rare in the world. He marches and fights as fast as the wind and as fierce as fire. The people in Bingzhou gave him the title of flying general. He has 10,000 Bingzhou cavalry under his command. Because they are so brave, they are called Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.
"
Speaking of Lu Bu, Ju Yi still knows a little bit. After all, he is from Wuwei County and cannot understand Lu Bu, who was astonished by the Qiang and Hu people.
"So, a brave general like Lu Bu has a first-class sense of smell on the battlefield. Although Sheep Head Mountain is winding for more than ten miles, even if it is such a long distance, it is very difficult to deceive him by relying on disguise.
Difficult to do,
If he accidentally discovered the ambush, it would be almost impossible to seize such a good opportunity.
Rather than taking such a big risk, it would be better to let go of the forest roads in the mountains and repel them at the mountain pass with absolute strength.
