Chapter 44: Feng Shuiling intercepts Liu Bei

At Zhao Hui's suggestion, Pei Yuanshao did not bring everyone with him, but only selected five thousand people.

Zhao Hui brought more than 100 people he was training.

There are people who have Zhang Sai to report Liu Bei's movements, and the two of them don't have to worry about not being able to block Liu Bei.

The map drawn by the people of Zhang Matsuri is very simple, and the route can only be judged by the map, but the terrain is completely unclear on this rough map.

Such a map is really useless for Zhao Hui.

But fortunately, Liu Bei's marching route can still be seen on the map.

And Zhao Hui took people to the front to check in advance and find a suitable place for them to fight.

If the combat power is not good, you can only find other advantages to make up for it.

did not act with Pei Yuanshao, Zhao Hui set off alone with a team of 100 people.

Qingzhou is in the east, Yingchuan is in the southwest of it, and it is necessary to pass Mount Tai and Yishui.

helped Kong Rong relieve the siege of Beihai, and Liu Bei's soldiers and horses did not increase.

Kong Rong only made up for Liu Bei's battle losses, so Liu Bei still only has 3,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.

But these 3,000 people have become more courageous than before.

followed Liu Bei's big victories again and again, and their morale was condensed to the extreme.

Although Liu Bei had only commanded them for a few months, these 3,000 people were already the strongest elite troops in the Han army.

Now even if there are 100,000 Yellow Turban troops in front, these people dare to rush in without frowning.

Such an army is definitely something that the enemy does not want to face.

Because in order to contain such an army, it is necessary to invest a lot of troops.

Even if the elite troops are also used to deal with it, the number of people will be at least more than double that of Liu Beijun.

And a rabble like the Yellow Turban Army, even if the troops invested are ten times that of Liu Bei, they will be defeated by Liu Bei in a head-on collision.

Zhao Hui never thought of having to fight Liu Bei.

Only this hundred-man team in his hands has combat effectiveness.

The results of these months of training have been very great.

One of the 100-person team can pull out at random and go head-to-head with Liu Bei's soldiers, and Zhao Hui can guarantee that the 100-person team can easily win.

But a hundred people collided with Liu Bei's three thousand people, unless these hundred people incarnated into one hundred and eight heroes of the Water Margin.

Zhao Hui didn't want the elite he had trained with great difficulty, so it was meaningless to be consumed.

Every day from morning to night, Zhao Hui led a team of 100 people to constantly search on this road, looking for a terrain that was extremely favorable to them.

Occupy an absolutely favorable terrain and use 5,000 Yellow Turban troops and Liu Bei's 3,000 soldiers to have a confrontation.

For this mission, sending Liu Bei's head to Zhang Jiao, Zhao Hui didn't have much confidence.

Even if Liu Bei was ambushed on all sides, Guan Yu Zhang Fei was on both sides, and he could protect Liu Bei out of the encirclement.

As long as Liu Bei wants to run, no one in this world dares to say that he will be able to keep Liu Bei.

Although it is unlikely to kill Liu Bei, there is no problem in sniping Liu Bei and not letting Liu Bei go to support Zhu Huangfu Song, which is the purpose of Zhao Hui's trip.

The best place is actually to stop Liu Bei from crossing the river in Yishui. But the intelligence was a bit slow, and Liu Bei had already crossed Yishui with his troops.

However, Zhao Hui still let him find an excellent place on the road behind.

Fengshuiling!

On either side are mountains, which are steep and difficult to climb, while in the middle is a river running through them. It's like a heavenly river splitting a mountain in half.

Although Liu Bei did not need to cross the river when he went to Yingchuan, the terrain along the river was narrow, which was not conducive to the troops to carry out operations.

As long as Zhao Hui held this place, the enemy would not be able to pass through here, and if he made a detour, it would take an additional three or five days.

Zhao Hui asked Pei Yuanshao to inform him that the five thousand Yellow Turban Army he had selected were all placed here.

But even if Zhao Hui occupied favorable terrain in advance, he could face Liu Bei's three thousand soldiers, especially Zhang Zaiqian.

Zhao Hui didn't dare to guarantee that the five thousand Yellow Turban Army would be able to block the impact of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

It's a pity that there is no suitable place for intercepting the flow in the upstream direction of Fengshuiling, if the river can be temporarily intercepted, and then remove the embankment when Liu Bei arrives, maybe Liu Bei can really be out of the game in advance.

Liu Bei's marching speed has always been very fast, Zhao Hui's side is ready, and Liu Bei has already taken Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Fengshuiling.

Faced with the dangerous terrain of Fengshuiling, Liu Bei first let the large army be stationed in place according to his habit, and then sent a team to explore the way.

Seeing that Liu Bei sent someone to explore the way first, Zhao Hui knew that the ambush plan had failed.

Of course, for this result, it was also expected by Zhao Hui.

Liu Bei had a lot of places to ambush along the way, but Liu Bei was very careful and wouldn't give him a chance at all.

That's why Zhao Hui chose the location in Fengshuiling.

Even if they can't be ambushed here, the Yellow Turban Army, which occupies the intersection, can have a huge advantage.

Pei Yuanshao was bent on fighting an ambush war, and it was best to kill Liu Bei directly, and it was a pity to learn that Liu Bei sent someone to explore the way first.

"Are you going to kill these people?" looked at Pei Yuanshao, the spy who came first.

"Kill them, and Liu Bei won't come in." Zhao Hui said.

Liu Bei is very careful now, if none of the spies who come in go back, Liu Bei will definitely take another path.

It would take three more days, but it would be better than jumping headlong into it and being beaten up for nothing.

"No need to hide, come out." Zhao Hui said.

A few people who came in to inquire suddenly saw thousands of people coming out of the woods and were almost scared to death, so they hurriedly turned around and retreated.

"Tell Liu Bei, I'll wait for him here, come in if you have the guts."

Seeing a few spies panicking, Zhao Hui shouted loudly behind them.

Outside Fengshui Ridge, Liu Bei looked at the spies who ran back and said, "There is an enemy ambush inside?" ”

"General, it's full of yellow turban thieves." The spy said.

"How many are there?" Liu Bei said.

"A lot, at least more than three thousand."

Zhang Fei shouted: "Three thousand people, dare to stand in our way, big brother, let's go in directly." ”

The military formation of 100,000 Yellow Turban Army, they also dared to rush over, let alone only a few thousand.

Zhang Fei didn't pay attention to it at all, even if you were ambushed inside, he would dare to break in.

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountains. Because Zhang Fei has the ability to slaughter tigers.

"Third brother, don't worry." Liu Bei became more and more calm, and continued to ask the spy: "Which Qu Shuai is the Yellow Turban thief inside?" ”

Although these spies looked very panicked after seeing thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers emerge, as spies, they still remembered a lot of things.

"It's Pei Yuanshao."

Liu Bei said: "Pei Yuanshao is Zhang Jiao's right-hand man, how can he be here?" ”

"They said they were waiting for the general here."

"It seems that we have made Zhang Jiao anxious, but only one Pei Yuanshao is here, is Zhang Jiao underestimating me Liu Xuande."
