After Liu Bei inspected the camp, he returned to the tent. However, no matter what Liu Bei did, he always felt uneasy in his heart and could not calm down to do things.
"Someone is coming!"
As soon as the voice fell, a soldier quickly ran in from outside the tent, bowed and waited for Liu Bei's instructions.
Liu Bei ordered: "Invite the three generals to come to the camp to discuss matters!"
"promise!"
The soldier nodded in agreement, turned around and left the camp, notifying Zhang Fei to go. Not long after, Zhang Fei strode in. After entering the camp, Zhang Fei lifted up his robe and sat down, asking in an angry voice: "Brother
, I am training the soldiers to prepare for the battle at night, you sent someone to see me, do you have something important?"
Liu Bei sighed and said: "Third brother, I always feel uneasy in my heart. It seems that something important has happened!"
He looked sad, with a worried look on his face.
Zhang Fei clasped his fists and said: "Brother, you are worried because you are leading troops to attack Shangyong City at night. Don't worry, brother. The scouts reported that the second brother has sneaked into the city. Now we can lead the troops when night falls."
Attack Shangyong City. After Shangyong City is captured, we will defeat Wang Can, then kill Lu Bu, and finally conquer Chen Gong. Then my brother will be able to develop steadily."
Liu Bei hesitated and asked: "Third brother, do you think something will happen to Yunchang?"
Zhang Fei raised his head, then shook his head twice, and said: "Second brother is superb in swordsmanship and has bravery that cannot be matched by ten thousand people. Even if there are many soldiers in the city, with my second brother's ability, even if there is danger, I can still defend the city."
Brother, don't worry about your life. Brother, I think you are too tired, so take a good rest."
Liu Bei added: "I always have an uneasy feeling in my heart. It may be that something big has happened."
Zhang Fei saw that Liu Bei kept talking about this matter, so he quickly changed the subject and enlightened Liu Bei. The two talked for a while, and Liu Bei's uneasiness became slightly better.
Zhang Fei said: "Brother, I have to train soldiers and go back to the school field."
Liu Bei hummed and waved his hand to signal Zhang Fei to leave. After Zhang Fei left, Liu Bei was the only one left in the tent. He sat quietly in the tent, lost in thought.
…
Outside Shangyong City, twenty miles west.
After a heavy rain fell, Yuan Shu's soldiers were all drowned.
Yuan Shu was doing better. When it rained, soldiers protected him from the heavy rain, so Yuan Shu's clothes were just a little damp and he was not affected much.
"Report!"
A cavalryman ran over quickly and shouted.
Three feet away from Yuan Shu, the soldier dismounted, ran over and clasped his fists: "Sir, we have discovered the scouts sent by Lu Meng several times in a row. These scouts came one after another to inquire about the situation, and they are very close to where we are staying. General.
, should we send soldiers to surround and kill the scouts sent by Lu Meng?"
Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows and said, "I have already told you to let them investigate, have you forgotten?"
The cavalryman immediately said: "Promise, I humbly obey my orders!"
After finishing speaking, the cavalry turned and left.
Yuan Shu watched the cavalry leave, shook his head, and said to Qiao Rui who was standing next to him: "These soldiers are simply idiots. They have been told to let Lu Meng's scouts investigate, and yet they come to inquire. It is simply inexplicable.
Humph, as long as Lu Meng knows that our soldiers are stationed here and our troops are far superior to theirs, Lu Meng will not dare to act rashly. These scouts cannot understand such a simple truth, they are simply a bunch of idiots!"
Qiao Rui said with a smile: "General, it's normal for soldiers not to read military books, so it's normal for them not to understand. My lord is from the Yuan family. He has a prominent family and a well-educated family. Of course, soldiers can't compare with him."
Yuan Shu laughed and nodded in agreement.
About half an hour later, Yuan Shu's general Li Feng hurried over.
Although it didn't rain for a long time, it rained heavily and the road was soft. Li Feng ran all the way and the soles of his shoes were already covered with mud. He ran to Yuan Shu, cupped his fists and said: "My lord, Lu Meng's soldiers have
There’s movement.”
Yuan Shu immediately asked: "Is Lu Meng coming?"
Li Feng shook his head and said: "No, Lu Meng didn't come!"
Yuan Shu showed an expression of impatience on his face and said, "Can't you finish it all at once? Come on, explain Lu Meng's affairs carefully and make sure there are no omissions."
Li Feng smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't finish what he said at once. Instead, Yuan Shu interrupted in the middle of the sentence. He was Yuan Shu's subordinate, so naturally he didn't dare to argue with Yuan Shu, so he had to say honestly: "Report to my lord."
, Lu Meng sent scouts to find out the situation of our army, and has already led his troops to take a detour, hoping to rush to Shangyong City via the mountain road."
Yuan Shu thought about it carefully and said immediately: "So, Lu Meng has guessed our intention, so he wants to rush to Shangyong City as soon as possible to support Shangyong."
Li Feng nodded and said, "My lord is wise!"
Yuan Shu ordered: "Li Feng, you immediately take the scouts to inquire about the news and find out whether Lu Meng really intends to take the mountain road to Shangyong. This matter must be investigated clearly. If they go to the mountain road, we will chase them and block them."
They, but Lu Meng led his troops back and took the official route, wouldn't we be fooled?"
"promise!"
Li Feng received the order and immediately carried it out.
Yuan Shu looked at Qiao Rui (rui) again and ordered: "Qiao Rui, you lead fifty soldiers to check the location of the road leading to Shangyong Mountain. To check the mountain road closest to us, as long as we can quickly
Return to the official road, even if Lu Meng has evil intentions, we don't have to worry."
"promise!"
Qiao Rui got the order, ordered fifty soldiers, and led the soldiers to carry out the order.
Yuan Shu led the army and remained where he was, waiting for the two of them to return.
About half an hour later, Qiao Rui came back with fifty soldiers. He stood in front of Yuan Shu and said loudly: "My Lord, I will explore the nearby mountain road leading to Shangyong City. And the one closest to here is
It takes about a quarter of an hour to walk on the mountain road. Even if our army discovers that Lu Meng has turned back to the official road, we can quickly run to support him."
Yuan Shu hummed and continued to wait for Li Feng to return.
Not long after, Li Feng also came back with his soldiers.
Li Feng clasped his fists and said: "My lord, the general has heard clearly that Lu Meng and his soldiers have entered the mountain road and want to rush from the mountain road to Shangyong. After they enter the mountain road, they can only go forward or go through the forest and then go
Guan Dao. However, after the rain, the mountains and forests are slippery and difficult to walk on. The possibility is too small. General Mo estimates that they want to rush to Shangyong City quickly."
After hearing this, Yuan Shu loudly ordered: "The army will set off immediately to block Lu Meng's road to Shangyong."
Yuan Shu was in high spirits with a proud smile on his face.
Lü Meng only had seven or eight hundred soldiers, while he had thousands of soldiers. With such a huge disparity in strength, Yuan Shu was not afraid of Lü Meng at all. Besides, his task was just to hold Lü Meng back, which was very easy.
…
After Lu Meng led his soldiers on the mountain road, the army did not move very fast. After all, after a heavy rain, the soil on the mountain road was soft and it was inconvenient to walk. Zhang Hu followed Lu Meng and asked loudly: "Boss, Yuan Shu obviously only has more than 3,000 soldiers.
Why do we still need to take the mountain road?"
Lu Meng asked: "Hu Zi, we only have 800 soldiers, can we defeat 3,000 soldiers?"
Zhang Hu nodded affirmatively: "Yes!"
Lu Meng asked again: "After the battle, how many people will be left in the end?"
After Zhang Hu heard this, he immediately withered and stopped talking. This was the reason why Lu Meng wanted to take the mountain road. Facing a force several times his own, he had to use a little strategy to rush to Shangyong City quickly.
Only by fully mobilizing Yuan Shu can we succeed.
