Liu, Guan, and Zhang walked out of the camp at the same time, with quick steps and serious expressions.
There is still a chill in the early spring wind, and bonfires are lit everywhere in the continuous camp. Looking at the quiet camp, one can smell the uneasy restlessness in the wind at a glance.
The first person the three of them went to look for was Li Xingzai. Li Xingzai was also walking out of the camp gate in a hurry, and they bumped into each other.
Uneasiness could be seen in each other's eyes.
"Have you got the news?" Li Xingzai.
Guan Yu nodded: "What are your plans?"
The princes from all walks of life are not just a bunch of pigs gathered together. In the past days, everyone did not quarrel every day and did nothing.
From the day the camp was set up, each of them sent spies to operate near the war zone to monitor the movements of the Rong clan and Chang'an. If there was any sign of trouble, they would immediately report back.
Guan Yu got the information early enough, but it was not too late for other princes to know the news.
"Can the news be confirmed?" Li Xingzai asked.
"I have to be on guard. I wonder what your lord's plan is?" Liu Bei.
There is no way to place spies in the Rong camp, and we can only judge based on the apparent movements of the Rong people. If the Rong army is mobilized, it is not impossible to postpone the attack on Chang'an City and choose to attack the coalition camp.
The key is that Chang'an is difficult to fight. If the Rong tribe puts all their efforts into attacking, it is not impossible to defeat it, but the price required is too high. Food and grass are always the weakness of the Rong tribe. However, there is a lot of grain and grass in the coalition camp, so they may not be able to defeat it.
Come and grab some.
But the news still shocked everyone. Before the coalition forces decided on their next strategy, the Rong people came to provoke them first.
Fighting everywhere is really the style of the Rong people.
Li Xingzai, Liu Guan and Zhang went to the main camp of the coalition forces, and Li Xing's place was already in chaos.
The princes from all walks of life have almost arrived, and everyone is discussing how to retreat. Which soldiers should go first, which soldiers should be responsible for blocking, where to evacuate, and how to avoid the Rong clan's sharp attack...
Everyone is arguing about these things. After all, no one wants to stop the Rong tribe and wants to be the first to evacuate.
The expression on Guan Yu's face changed, and his muscles tensed. In his opinion, everyone gathered together to think about how to fight against the Rong tribe, whether to retreat or fight. Unexpectedly, everyone skipped this stage directly and had already reached the stage of thinking about how to retreat.
.
"No retreat." Guan Yu finally couldn't hold back his temper, took a step forward and raised his voice.
Almost no one paid any attention to him, and everyone was still arguing.
Li Xing is a little worried now. Although he is the leader of the alliance, he has just fought for this position and encountered such a situation. Although he is the leader of the alliance, who is willing to listen to him at this time.
It happened that he noticed Guan Yu's words, waved his hand to suppress the chaotic noise around him, and said, "General Guan, do you have something to say?"
"You can't retreat. If you retreat, you will be defeated. If you lose, you will die." Guan Yu took a step closer and stood in the sight of everyone.
"Young man with a yellow mouth, think twice before speaking. The Rong tribe is charging straight at you with a sharp edge. It is best to avoid its sharp edge for the time being." King Lei Tianyin of Yanzhou said disdainfully.
Guan Yu ignored him and walked up to the commander's case. Holding the battle map in his hand, he said loudly: "The coalition army and the Rong people are about a hundred and twenty miles apart. With the marching speed of the Rong people, if they march urgently, they can reach the enemy before dawn."
Arrive. And our army has a lot of equipment. If we retreat, how far can we retreat before dawn? If the Rong tribe bites its tail, the army will be eaten away bit by bit by the Rong tribe."
Everyone gasped, and Wang Lintao of Yuzhou said: "If you send a group of troops to stop the enemy and buy time for the army to retreat, does General Guan think it is feasible?"
Guan Yu shook his head: "If the army of 100,000 soldiers retreats when they see the enemy, how long can the soldiers along the way hold off the enemy?"
"Does General Guan have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" Li Xing asked.
"Don't retreat, face the enemy head-on." Guan Yu said slowly: "The armored soldiers are in front, the archers are behind, the trebuchets are behind the archers, and the cavalry is guerrilla to harass the enemy. This is a surprise battle, and the soldiers and horses mobilized by the Rong tribe
Not too many. As long as our army can withstand the first formation, the enemy's morale will be weak. If we take advantage of the victory and counterattack, we will definitely strangle this army."
When he said the last sentence, Guan Yu widened his eyes and his face became a bit ferocious.
Everyone's hearts trembled, and they realized that Guan Yu's tactical purpose was not simply to protect himself, nor to seek safety. He wanted to win, he wanted to annihilate the enemy's entire army.
For a moment, no one spoke in the big tent, everyone was shocked by this young man's ambition.
In fact, Guan Yu still considered for them. He knew that although the coalition forces were outnumbered, their hearts were divided. If his Yuzi army were here, Guan Yu would have taken the initiative to fight against the Rong people.
Encounter.
Snap.
There was clear applause in the big tent, and Lei Tianyin clapped his hands and said: "What the young man said makes sense, but I just ask you, what if you can't stop it?"
Guan Yu raised his head and met his eyes.
Lei Tianyin took a step forward and said, "If we can't stop it, our entire army will be wiped out. Young man, are you gambling with the lives of a hundred thousand people?"
Everyone was startled and thought that Lei Tianyin's words were not unreasonable. Even if they won this battle, they would suffer serious casualties. But if they failed, the whole army would be annihilated. In comparison, it would be safer to retreat quickly.
.
Guan Yu clenched his fists. If he were in Liangzhou, just by Lei Tianyin's words, Guan Yu would have pushed him out and killed him with the intention of disrupting the army. But this place is not Liangzhou. The right time, place, and people are not in his hands, and he has his own intentions.
Killing the thief can't save him.
More or less, Guan Yu can understand Li Letian's difficulties.
"Our army is the vanguard in this battle." Li Xingzai suddenly said: "You can just sit back and watch for a while, see how we fight, and then make plans."
Guan Yu raised his head and glanced at Li Xingzai gratefully. Although he was arrogant, he was not ungrateful.
Li Xingzai handed over the token with both hands and said: "General Guan, you can mobilize the thirteen thousand troops under my command. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed."
Guan Yu took it with both hands and said: "If the prince trusts Guan, Guan will give the prince a victory."
Li Xingzai smiled, a smile that was like ice water melting for the first time, breaking the seriousness in the tent.
"You have been bored in Toad Village for too long. Now, it is time for the world to know your names."
Cheng Dalei focused on being the king of his mountain, living his own life in peace and unwilling to start a war. This did bring a period of peace to Liangzhou. But it also buried many heroes invisibly.
People like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei should have become famous in this chaotic world and made great achievements. They should have left a lasting mark in this world...
However, until now, they are still unknown.
With the military order in hand, Guan Yudun showed his domineering attitude. Time was urgent, and he did not have time to talk to these princes, so he needed to save as much time as possible to set up defenses.
