Chapter 566: Preparing for action, an empty city
Soon, under Xiahou Chun's arrangement, dozens of scouts were sent out to deliver Li Ru's orders to Shangdang and Anping.
And Li Ru also took the soldiers to search for everything that could be eaten around.
But after the locust plague a few months ago, all that has grown now is a little grass, and even the trees have just sprouted.
But despite this, Li Ru and the others still found many edible things, but despite these gains, they were only barely able to support the army for a few days....
Once Shangdang and Xiahou Yuan come, then these grains and grasses of their own will definitely not be enough to eat.
And just when Li Ru was still struggling with grain and grass, an army near Shangdang on the other side was slowly approaching.
It's like a wolf staring at the little sheep in front of him.
"Didn't the military advisor say that our army would have to cut off food and grass a few times before it could attack? Why are you attacking the party now? ”
Guan Yu looked at the surrounding environment vigilantly, and asked suspiciously at the drama Zhicai beside him.
"Some time ago, the goal of our army was originally to prepare to raid the Tiger Prison Pass and cut off their only way back."
Xi Zhicai is also looking around.
"But some time ago, we learned that Cao Cao did not leave the Tiger Prison, and now it is Li Ru among Dong Zhuo's remnants who has set foot in our annexation."
"If our army rashly attacks which side at this time, it may be flanked from the front and rear, which is very unfavorable to our army."
"But what does this have to do with our attack on the party? Didn't you say that it was easy to be flanked from front to back? ”
Lu Bu spit out the dog's tail grass in his mouth and asked in front of Guan Yu.
"If our army is still such a team now, then I will never go forward to attack the party so recklessly."
When Xi Zhicai said this, a kind smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"But our helpers have arrived, and now as long as we intercept the Shangdang, then we will completely disconnect Xihe and Tiger Prison."
"At that time, it will be us and Xiaozhi who will attack him Li Ru back and forth."
When he said this, a touch of excitement suddenly appeared on Xi Zhicai's face.
"I've heard the lord say that Li Ru's skills are very good, and now I can finally meet the real person."
After Lu Bu heard Xi Zhicai's words, he was also excited and said loudly.
"The lord said that Li Ru is a great talent, and his advice is as insidious as Wen He, and I don't know if it's true or not."
Xi Zhicai suddenly said with some solemnity.
"The military advisor should be careful, Guan Mou didn't meet him once during the Yellow Turban Rebellion."
Guan Yu looked at the two people in front of him and touched his long hair and said slowly, his eyes were full of memories.
"That trip was with the lord, that Li Ru didn't have too conspicuous characteristics, but the lord was very nervous and serious, I have never seen the lord treat a person so seriously...."
"Then it seems that this Li Ru has real materials."
Xi Zhicai nodded thoughtfully after listening to Guan Yu's words.
"Cut, that Li Ru is just a villain, as long as I step forward and give him a halberd, that kid is just a cold corpse."
Lu Bu pursed his lips on the side and said slowly.
In his hand, he was still waving the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, around
The soldiers didn't care about the halberd that swept over their heads.
After all, such a situation had often appeared in the past, and at the beginning, those soldiers still felt a little scared in their hearts and seemed very flustered.
But as time went on, the soldiers became accustomed to it, and let the halberds fly over their heads.
But they remained unwavering, as if they were just a small bird flying quickly above their heads.
"It's true that a military general like us is not our opponent, but I'm afraid Feng Xian won't be stupid enough to face us directly."
Guan Yu looked at Lu Bu, who was constantly wielding Fang Tian's halberd, and said with a solemn expression.
In his heart, he still attaches great importance to Li Ru.
After all, none of the people who can be valued by Qin Feng are ordinary people.
Didn't you think that you were picked out of the vast sea of people by Qin Feng in the first place?
But Lu Bu didn't think so, in his opinion, Li Ru was just a sour Confucian, if he really wanted to, then he Li Ru would definitely die under his own Fang Tian Painting Halberd.
"Hmph, what's so big about that kid, of course I'll show you how I killed him."
Lu Bu said a little unconvinced, and then slapped his horse and ran towards the front of the team.
Looking at Lu Bu, who was losing his temper again, Guan Yu and Xi Zhicai both sighed helplessly.
Although Lu Bu's strength is very strong, sometimes he is really like a child who has never been in the world.
"Strategist, Feng Xian, do you want me to persuade him again?"
Guan Yu then turned his head to look at Xi Zhicai beside him and asked.
He and the others are facing it, but even Qin Feng has a headache with his opponent, if Lu Bu is allowed to make a child's temper like this, I am afraid that there will be a big problem.
"It's okay, it's okay to let Feng suffer a little first, he has been a little too proud and complacent recently."
Xi Zhicai shook his head like an old father and said slowly to Guan Yu.
"Although he can be on his own now, there are times when he is really very immature in terms of mind, alas, I don't know when I will be able to save a little heart."
Listening to Xi Zhicai's words, Guan Yu also nodded with deep sympathy, although he had not been with Lu Bu for a long time, but he also saw Lu Bu's little temper in his eyes.
Fortunately, it was Xi Zhicai who partnered with Lu Bu, otherwise I am afraid that in Huaxia, there is really no one who wants to partner with a thorn like Lu Bu.
"Report! It was reported to the military division that our spies had detected something unusual in the party. ”
Just when Guan Yu and Xi Zhicai were worrying about Lu Bu, a soldier suddenly ran quickly from the front.
"What's going on? What did our spies find? ”
Xi Zhicai asked the soldier in front of him with some doubts.
"Strategist, our scouts have found that the soldiers in the Shangdang have suddenly gathered and have left the city, and now there is no one in the Shangdang."
The general said breathlessly.
"What where did they go? Why did you suddenly withdraw from the party? ”
Xi Zhicai frowned, and looked at the soldiers in front of him with dead eyes.
Now he is the only one who can understand the real situation.
"They.... They rushed in the direction of the West River, and at full speed, it was almost impossible for our troops to catch up ...
The soldier finally vomited out the breath in his heart, and then he slowly agreed
I said it in the play.
"What? Why did they suddenly go to the West River? ”
Xi Zhicai frowned, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Even Guan Yu looked incredulous.
"Strategist, did you say they had discovered our purpose, so they withdrew ahead of schedule?"
Guan Yu said to Xi Zhicai beside him with some doubts.
"It's very possible, but there are just ordinary soldiers in the party, who can find our traces?"
Xi Zhicai nodded at first, and then asked suspiciously.
It seemed to be asking Guan Yu, or rather asking himself.
"Even if these soldiers find out that we are retreating, it is impossible for them to retreat so quickly, they must have received some kind of order, do you think it will be?"
Guan Yu said with some hesitation, and there was a look of disbelief in his eyes.
"General Guan, do you want to say that it was an order given by Li Ru, who is far away in Xihe?"
Xi Zhicai looked at Guan Yu, who was hesitant, and a trace of unbelievability flashed in his eyes.
"Then Li Ruke is very far away from us, how did he guess that our army would come to raid the Shangdang?"
"Commander, didn't we intercept grain and grass once some time ago? Do you think it's because of the grain and grass?"
Guan Yu pondered for a while, then asked with some doubts.
In the past few days, he and the others have just done this thing, and the rest of the time they are lurking in the dense forest and dare not come forward.
If you really want to ask a reason in the final analysis, then the matter of grain and grass is the most likely thing.
"Grain and grass? It has been three or four days since we attacked the grain and grass, perhaps it was really because the grain and grass were not delivered on time, so Li Ru was afraid of it. ”
Xi Zhicai silently estimated the time in his heart, and then said slowly.
"But this Li Ru can actually guess so accurately, and he also knows that we want to attack the Shangdang and cut off the bridge between them and Si Li, it seems that this is really a tricky guy."
If he hadn't taken Li Ru's matter to heart, then now Xi Zhicai has completely remembered the name Li Ru.
When they first fought Dong Zhuo, they and the others had not yet noticed this Li Ru's ability, but after today's incident, they found that this Li Ru was not as simple as it seemed.
Perhaps, as Qin Feng said, this Li Ru is the world's most versatile talent, and few people can compare with him.
"Strategist, what should we do now? Are we still going to the party? ”
Guan Yu looked at Xi Zhicai, who had a sudden realization, and asked slowly.
"Go! Why don't you go, isn't the purpose of our trip to cut off the bridge between Li Ru and Si Li? Since he is so confident, let's take a look at what his self-confidence is. ”
The corners of Xi Zhicai's mouth slowly hooked up a touch of arc, and said to the soldiers in front of him with a smile.
"Wait for those scouts to inform me, you must investigate all the environmental conditions around the party, and you must not make a little mistake, otherwise you will come to see you."
"Whoa!" The soldier straightened his waist and raised his head, and said respectfully to Xi Zhicai.
Then, under the attention of Xi Zhicai and Guan Yu, he got up and ran quickly in the direction of the party.
"General Guan, please also give an order, let the soldiers move forward quickly, and they must take over the party as soon as possible!"
