Guan Ying is a veteran who leads the army. He is familiar with military strategies and battlefield conditions, so the layout of the camp is quite rigorous, without any flaws. The entire camp is very tightly fortified.
Not only that, Guan Ying also arranged an ambush.
If Yingbu dared to go down the mountain to attack overnight, he would definitely kill Yingbu.
Guan Ying settled all the prisoners, and after everything was properly explained, he went to bed early. In his sleep, Guan Ying seemed to see a raging fire, as if the entire camp was burning. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he suddenly fell asleep.
Sit up from the bed.
"Hoo! Hoo!!"
Guanying panted heavily.
Seeing that he was in a tent and the surrounding area was quiet, Guan Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
The scene just now was too realistic.
"Someone is coming!"
Guan Ying gave an order.
"exist!"
Upon hearing this, a personal guard immediately entered the camp, clasped his fists and saluted: "General, what are your orders?"
Guan Ying asked: "What time is it?"
The guard replied: "It's just early in the morning."
"So early!"
Guan Ying waved his hand and let the guards go out. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and lay down to rest again. However, after being suddenly awakened, Guan Ying could not sleep.
"Tap! Tread!!"
A sound of footsteps came from outside the tent.
Guan Ying heard the footsteps coming from far and near, and immediately raised his ears to listen. He heard the person coming muttering to the guards at the door for a while, and then saw the camp tent door curtain lifted, and the guards quickly entered and said: "
General!"
"explain!"
Guan Ying sat up from the bed.
The guard replied: "I just received a letter from the magistrate of Sanshui County. Please read it, general."
As he spoke, the bodyguard handed over the letter he had sent.
Guan Ying quickly took it, and he quickly opened the letter and read it. After reading it, Guan Ying's face had cooled down, and there was a solemn look on his face, and he ordered: "Send my order and summon Lin Ping.
See."
Lin Ping is Guan Ying's advisor.
Although Guan Ying himself can march and set up formations and make decisions, Lin Ping's presence can help Guan Ying check for leaks and fill in the gaps, and save Guan Ying from many detours.
The personal guard went to deliver the message, and after a while, Lin Ping entered.
Lin Ping was in his early forties, his temples were already gray and had a look of vicissitudes of life. He entered the camp, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen the general!"
Guan Ying said: "Sir, please sit down!"
After Lin Ping sat down, he yawned, but cheered up and asked: "The general summoned me overnight, what's the matter?"
Guan Ying threw the letter in his hand onto Lin Ping's desk and said coldly: "News just came from Sanshui County, saying that the arsenal and granary in Sanshui County were suddenly attacked by an army of unknown origin.
This army attacked the arsenal and granary, seized some weapons and a small amount of food, and then left Sanshui County overnight. Now, this army has disappeared."
Lin Ping opened the letter and read it in detail.
He was also a little surprised by the content of the letter, because he couldn't see any clues from the simple description.
Guan Ying continued: "I came to you to analyze this matter."
After Lin Ping thought for a while, he said: "General, at present, we can't find any traces of this army that suddenly appeared in the city. But according to the description in the letter, the opponent only has a few hundred people and the strength is not high.
There are many, but it’s not something to be afraid of.”
"The key is that when they appeared in the city, they originally had the opportunity to capture Sanshui County, but they gave up on capturing Sanshui County and only took away weapons and some food."
"It can be seen that the other party has no intention to seize Sanshui County."
"In other words, we and them are not enemies yet."
"At least, it won't threaten us for the time being."
Lin Ping said solemnly: "After this incident, Sanshui County must strengthen its defense. The general's focus now is still on Yingbu. Especially now that the soldiers who have captured Yingbu can use these prisoners to take down Yingbu in one go.
Yingbu.”
"It would be too cheap for Yingbu to withdraw at this time."
"So my opinion is to order the magistrate of Sanshui County to strengthen the defense and increase the number of soldiers in charge of the arsenal and granary to ensure the safety of Sanshui County."
"Don't worry about the rest."
Lin Ping weighed the decision and gave suggestions.
After Guan Ying heard this, he also thought quickly. In the battle with Yingbu, he had already gained the upper hand. If he retreated at this time, he would not be willing to do so.
He must first capture Yingbu.
Guan Ying took a deep breath and said, "The general agrees with your sir's suggestion. In this case, I will arrange for someone to send a letter back overnight to ask the Sanshui County Magistrate to step up vigilance."
Lin Ping said: "The general is wise!"
After a pause, Lin Ping continued: "I have a guess about this pair of people who suddenly appeared."
Guan Ying said: "What guess?"
Lin Ping replied: "Nowadays, the earth is undergoing a sudden change, with countless heroes rising up and countless reckless revolts. Perhaps this is a breakthrough in the martial arts of a certain big family in Sanshui County, and then they have ambitions. Or,
People from some tribe broke through, so they seized the arsenal and food in the city, then left the county and went out to join the bandits. They were unwilling to submit to the Han and accept control, so they left the city."
Guan Ying said: "Your analysis has a certain possibility, but the possibility is very low. I don't think this matter is that simple. Let's wait and see."
"yes!"
Lin Ping bowed his hands in agreement.
Guan Ying waved his hand and said, "Sir, go and rest."
"Here!"
Lin Ping stood up and left.
Guan Ying immediately wrote a letter, then called his personal guards and asked the personal guards to arrange for the sentry to be sent back immediately. After arranging everything, he walked out of the camp and patrolled around the camp before returning to the camp.
continue to sleep.
He slept until dawn.
The next day, early morning.
Guan Ying got up early and washed up, then mobilized his troops, and then escorted more than a thousand prisoners, straight to the foot of Wuzhi Peak. He was ready for a showdown with Yingbu. This time, Yingbo must surrender.
"Bang the drum!"
Guan Ying gave the order directly.
"Boom! Boom!!"
The sound of war drums suddenly sounded under Wuzhi Peak.
The sound of war drums resounded throughout the world, ringing continuously and echoing in the mountains.
Guan Ying raised his head and looked up the mountain, hoping to use the sound of war drums to make Yingbu come out. However, the war drums kept beating for a long time, but no movement was seen on the mountain. Especially, it was quiet down the mountain, as if all the ambushes were hidden.
"Yingbupifu, I am here, do you dare to fight?"
Guan Ying rode out and shouted loudly.
However, after Guan Ying shouted, the mountain was still quiet and there was still no movement. Guan Ying thought that Yingbu might have been seriously injured and it was difficult to come forward, and he did not dare to fight, so he avoided coming out.
Guan Ying changed his strategy and shouted: "Yingbu, I captured more than a thousand of your soldiers in yesterday's battle. Now, these people are in my hands. You go down the mountain and surrender immediately, otherwise, I will kill you one by one."
soldiers."
The words were shouted and echoed in the mountains.
However, there was no movement at all.
Guan Ying frowned. His original plan was to use the prisoners to threaten Yingbu, with the intention of making Yingbu submit. However, he did not expect that he had already used his trump card, and there was still no movement on the mountain.
This is too weird.
"Come here, bring out ten prisoners and chop them down."
Guan Ying was furious and gave the order directly.
The soldiers under his command stepped forward, dragged ten prisoners aside, raised their swords in their hands, and chopped to death the ten prisoners.
Guan Ying raised his head and looked up the mountain, and said again: "Yingbu, if you don't show up, I will kill a hundred prisoners in the next wave. These people are all your brothers and soldiers. Without them
, you have been dead a long time ago. Do you want to watch them die now, and don’t care whether they live or die? "
A powerful roar spread into the mountains.
However, there was still no movement on the mountain.
"Da da!"
Behind Guan Ying, general Cen Fei came out. He came to Guan Ying, clasped his fists and said, "General, something is wrong. The mountains are quiet. There is no movement at all. Especially when you ordered
Even after killing the prisoners, there was no sound on the mountain. Is it possible that Yingbu has escaped?"
After Guan Ying heard this, he immediately thought it was possible. He immediately ordered: "Cen Fei, please mobilize a hundred soldiers and go and have a look immediately."
"Here!"
Cen Fei clasped his fists and responded.
He galloped back, mobilized a hundred elite soldiers, and moved forward cautiously. When he arrived at the entrance under Wuzhi Peak, Cen Fei still didn't see the soldiers Guan Ying, and his suspicion was increasingly confirmed.
"Go up, go up the mountain immediately!"
Cen Fei continued to give orders.
The group of people went up the mountain and encountered no obstacles wherever they passed.
Guan Ying was waiting for news at the bottom of the mountain. Although he didn't know what was going on on the mountain, he didn't hear the shouting of killing. His heart sank to the bottom, guessing that Yingbu might have left.
Otherwise, there would be no movement on the mountain.
Soon after, Cen Fei came down the mountain.
Cen Fei rode up to Guan Ying, clasped his fists and said, "General, the mountain is empty. There is not a single person in Dazhai halfway up the mountain. Everyone under Yingbu's command has left."
When Guan Ying heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
If he had known this, he should have directly attacked Yingbu last night, and should not have delayed it until now. Now that Yingbu has run away, he cannot find the person who threatens him, and there is no way to coerce Yingbu.
Guan Ying rolled his eyes and asked, "Is there food and livestock on the mountain?"
"have!"
Cen Fei nodded and said: "There are still grains and livestock in the stronghold, which should not be taken away. Therefore, Yingbu stayed directly. General, Yingbu went down the mountain overnight and left quietly. What should we do?
"
The corners of Guan Ying's mouth twitched and his expression was ferocious.
In his eyes, Yingbu could no longer resist, but as the night passed, the duck he got actually flew away.
"Report!"
Suddenly, the sound of rapid horse hooves came from behind.
A sentry shouted loudly and rushed from the rear. The sentry quickly came to Guan Ying and reported: "General, something serious is going wrong. An army appeared behind us and rushed to Sanshui County."
direction."
Guan Ying's eyes lit up and he said: "It must be Yingbu's people. He bypassed us and headed towards Sanshui County. He planned to cross Sanshui County and then go south to hide." (To be continued)
