Wei Yan was ordered to retreat, and found three guards to change into regular clothes, and the four of them immediately left the camp and went straight to the Longshu ferry that Pang Tong said.

Longshu ferry is not too far away from Yuan Yao's camp, Wei Yan rode a fast horse all the way to this place in half a day, after Wei Yan arrived here, he couldn't help but be taken aback, only to see that the river here is dozens of zhang wide, the smoke on the water surface is thick with reeds, the wharf on the opposite bank is faintly visible, both sides of the river are extremely lush woods, and there is only one road in the jungle that leads to the distance alone.

When Wei Yan arrived, he did not go directly to the ferry, but asked one of his guards to take care of the horses, and he led the other two men to abandon their horses and climb a small hill not far away.

After Wei Yan went up the mountain, he ate some dry food and began to close his eyes to recuperate, and he didn't open his eyes until it was almost dusk.

Dusk is the time when the weary birds enter the forest.

Wei Yan raised his eyes and saw countless flying birds flying back to the jungle near the river from all directions, but these flying birds refused to fall, as if there was some danger hidden in the jungle below.

Wei Yan looked at the tired birds flying and screaming in the distance and smiled slightly, the military advisor's guess was really good, there was indeed an army in ambush at this Longshu Ferry!

Wei Yan did not immediately go down the mountain after discovering the ambush, but hid in the mountain and continued to wait, and after a while, he saw that countless more soldiers on both sides of the river suddenly came to fetch water, and these sergeants walked silently after taking the water, like ghosts.

Wei Yan looked at the ambush soldiers on both sides of Longshu Water who kept coming to fetch water, and kept thinking in his heart, about half an hour or so, the ambush soldiers on both sides of the strait finally finished taking water.

"Let's go, go down the mountain and go back to camp!"

Wei Yan then touched the faint moonlight all the way down the mountain, returned to the place where the horses were parked, turned over the horse, and went straight to the Chaohu camp in the starry night.

After Wei Yan returned to the camp, he went directly to meet Yuan Yao, but Yuan Yao and the others were still waiting for news from Wei Yan and did not go back to rest.

Wei Yan entered the big tent and said with a smile: "Lord, there is indeed a large army in the jungle on both sides of Longshu Water, and the last general estimates that there are about thirty or forty thousand soldiers and horses in ambush here, and the main force of the enemy coalition army is set here!" ”

"Okay, huh! Such thieves still want to get an axe, they are really looking for death! ”

Yuan Yao laughed a few times, looked at Pang Tong on the side, and said: "Hahahaha, the main force of the enemy army is really setting up an ambush at Longshu Ferry, I think Shiyuan, you have already made a bamboo in your chest, if you have any good strategies to break the enemy, please say it quickly." ”

Pang Tong bowed with a smile and said, "Hahahaha, the lord who knows me is also the lord, and he still can't hide the lord's insight!" Lord, look here, there is also a waterway between Chaohu Lake and Shu County called Lushui, and the chance to win this battle is on this Lushui! ”

Pang Tong looked at the sky, pondered for a while, looked at Zhang Dingbian and asked: "Now that the time has passed, if you send troops to Shu County at this time, I don't know how long it will take General Zhang to reach Shu County, and how many soldiers and horses can the naval warships carry in addition to the naval army?" ”

Zhang Dingbian pondered for a moment and said: "Returning to the lord and military division, the naval ship can also carry 10,000 foot armor, if the troops are dispatched at this time, they can reach Shu County around the end of the day!" ”

Pang Tong smiled slightly and said, "It's almost time!" The lord and the minister's strategy to break the enemy is to plan the plan, the lord can send a partial division to carry the naval ships to Shu County, and after the partial division arrives in Shu County, some of the naval troops can be left to guard the warships and Shu County, and then order the rest of the soldiers and horses to divide the troops into two ways, one way to attack Tongxiang, and the other road to outflank the back road of the ambush at Longshu Ferry from the rear! With such a two-pronged approach, the enemy army will be defeated! ”

Yuan Yao looked at the map and thought for a while, then high-fived and praised: "Seconds, this is really a wonderful strategy!" The congregation will obey the order! ”

"Wei Yan, you led your Longxiang army to Shu County on a naval warship, and after the army arrived in Shu County, Zhang Junshou immediately led the defenders in the city to attack Tongxiang; After the army took Tongxiang, let him not care about anything else, interrogate the soldiers on the spot and ask the enemy's naval army where they are stationed, and after asking about the location of the naval army, let him immediately lead the army to change into enemy clothes and go to seize the naval warship! ”

"Zhang Dingbian, after the army arrives in Shu County, 5,000 sailors will be left to guard the warships and the city, and you will personally lead the remaining sailors and Wei Yan's Longxiang army to attack the Longshu Ferry from the back road. After the two of you led the army to the Longshu Ferry, you chose a place to camp and lurk, and sent rangers and fast horses along the way to cut off the road, so that the ambush soldiers could not get the news of Tongxiang; Early the day after tomorrow, I will lead my army across the river, and when the time comes, the two sides will send troops together to attack the ambush on the opposite bank! ”

"Did you hear it all?"

Wei Yan Zhang Dingbian stepped forward and bowed: "Hear clearly, we will receive the order, and we will live up to the trust of the lord!" ”

"Alright, time is pressing, you two go and gather your troops and horses at once, and get ready to go."

"Shi Yuan, you send someone to give Huo Jun an order, so that he will arrive at the vicinity of Longshu Ferry early the day after tomorrow to lay an ambush, and when the ambush is killed, he will flank the enemy army with me before and after!"

"No, the minister will take the order, and this will make people go and pass the order!"

……

Early the next morning, when Yuan Yao walked out of the big tent, he saw a meager mist rising outside the camp, and the sky became a little cold.

Yuan Yao tightened the armor on his body and sighed.

I didn't expect that the time would be August in a blink of an eye, and I had been here for more than a month at the end of the Han Dynasty.

It seems that this battle must be concluded as soon as possible, otherwise the autumn harvest will be delayed.

Fortunately, the time to understand this battle is also coming!

"Lord, the army is ready and ready to go!"

"Order, the army sets off for Longshu Ferry!"

With Yuan Yao's order, the soldiers and horses in the Chaohu camp also began to march slowly, and Yuan Yao personally led the 20,000 soldiers and horses here to the Longling Ferry with great fanfare, so as to attract the attention of the enemy's ambush soldiers and create opportunities for Zhang Dingbian and Yang Zaixing.

The Longshu Ferry was about forty or fifty miles away from Yuan Yao's camp, and under Yuan Yao's deliberate control, the speed of the army's advance was not fast, and it was not until the time of Shen Shi that the army reached the vicinity of the Longshu Ferry.

After the army arrived near the Longshu Ferry, Yuan Yao directly ordered the army to find a high ground and start camping, not giving the enemy ambush a chance to attack or attack the camp at night.

Yuan Yao's army has already arrived here, and the enemy ambush has not been alarmed and retreated, which means that Wei Yan and they have already succeeded.

Yuan Yao is now in control, he doesn't want any more accidents, he just wants to wait quietly for the arrival of the next day.
