Chapter 56: The Dilemma of Wen Chou

Wen Chou, who left Jizhou, originally thought that he could show his strengths, skills, and ambitions in Youzhou. Who knows that it has just left the scope of Jizhou. The scouts who listened to the report that there were more than 20,000 Han cavalry blocking the way.

Wen Chou, who had just inquired, was simply surprised. Could it be that your beautiful life has just begun, and where is it going to die? Wen Chou had the intention to take advantage of the fact that as soon as the two sides came into contact now, he directly pressed the whole army and caught the opposing cavalry off guard, but he looked back at the Yellow Turban sergeant behind him, and then gave up this ridiculous idea.

Wen Chou, who couldn't make up his mind, had to order the soldiers behind him to wait in formation. Wen Chou was ready to see the other party's reaction and made further preparations.

Who knows, just when Wen Chou was anxious, he suddenly heard a report from the scout. In addition to not charging at them, the other party's cavalry was camping and looking like they were guarding to the death.

Wen Chou, who heard the news, laughed three times, then looked at the soldiers behind him, and gave the order loudly: set up camp.

Wen Chou, who was riding on a horse, looked at the opposite side with his eyes, but unfortunately, as far as his eyes could see, it was still desolate, but in Wen Chou's heart, he seemed to have seen the weakness and incompetence of the Han army opposite. It was at this moment that he strengthened his confidence in the victory of the war. Wen Chou also secretly admired himself in his heart, and he was full of pride that he could follow Zhang Jiao to rebel early.

At this moment, the arrogant Wen Chou no longer took the more than 20,000 Han cavalry on the opposite side in his eyes, and Wen Chou planned to take advantage of this rare opportunity to take the Yellow Turban soldiers under his command after the corporal under his command recuperated, and only pounced directly on the opposite side.

According to his ideas. As long as he can lead people, he can quickly chisel through the opponent's military formation and cut the opponent's leading general under the horse. Then he may have a chance to recover the more than 20,000 cavalry on the opposite side for his use. At that time, the great Central Plains land can be let him gallop. For his own force, Wen Chou has always been full of confidence.

As long as I think of this, Wen Chou is unaware.

Looking back, seeing that the soldiers under his command were already encamped, Wen Chou didn't pay much attention to it, but just called the scout lieutenant next to him and asked him to send more scouts to the opposite side to find out where the cavalry on the opposite side came from and who the generals who led the army were. It's not that Wen Chou is so careful, he just wants to know in advance who the general of the Han cavalry who will die in his hands in the future.

After the order, Wen Chou took a jar of wine and enjoyed it himself.

And just when Wen Chou was drunk, far away in Jingzhou, an ambush battle began.

Zhu Jun followed Lu Su, and the two crawled in the grass in front. As for Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong, they led their troops to ambush on both sides of the road.

Looking at the high mountains in the distance, looking at the flat avenue in front of him, Lu Su stood behind Zhu Jun, looked at Zhu Jun and asked curiously: General, why don't we ambush in the mountains, but change to ambush on this flat and uncovered road?

Zhu Jun, who was originally concentrating on observing his surroundings, heard Lu Su's words, turned his head to Lu Su and said with a smug smile: You don't understand this, we have already sent someone to test Guan Hai a few days ago, and we all know this person's temperament, that is, not to seek merit, but to seek no fault.

You say, if we were in ambush in the mountains, would Guan Hai, who is cautious by nature, discover our ambush in advance, and if he found us in an ambush, would he still take this road? He may have to walk for many more days if he had taken a detour, but we can't make that bet.

Now you know the form of the world. Only since the departure of our army. Although we have won many battles, the form of the world is changing too quickly, and we don't have so much time to wait for Guan Hai to re-enter the ambush, so we can only take risks and set up ambushes, and Guan Hai, who is cautious by nature, will definitely not think that we will give up ambushing in the mountains, but set up an ambush on the flat ground. This is just like what is said in the Art of War, to attack the unprepared by surprise.

Lu Su nodded when he heard this, and looked at Zhu Jun and had no doubts.

He knew that Zhu Jun's approach was right. Their army has only been from the capital, because Zhu Jun commanded effectively. Along the way, countless copycat robbers were exterminated. Even the Yellow Turban Army, which was originally entrenched in Jingzhou, Zhang Mancheng's department, was also wiped out by the army.

Not only is there a large number of people in the current army, but the individual combat ability of the non-commissioned soldiers has also been greatly improved.

But these are far from changing as fast as the world's forms.

After sending an army from Zhang Jiao to attack everywhere, the entire Central Plains was finally full of smoke. Refugees fleeing everywhere.

Because the Yellow Turban Army in Jingzhou was wiped out quickly, it did not cause major losses, so Jingzhou is relatively a pure land. Because it is a pure land, the people of the surrounding states and counties are gathering in Jingzhou.

In just a few days, Lu Su has assisted the local government in receiving and relocating hundreds of thousands of people. From the mouths of the people who fled, it was easy to know that the local areas of Yuzhou and Xuzhou had been plagued by the Yellow Turban Army.

In Yuzhou and Xuzhou, you can see the dead people everywhere. As for the news from farther away, Lu Su and they don't know. So he also agrees with Zhu Jun's decision.

There are so many people who have died that there is not so much time for them to fight step by step. If you want to end this situation quickly, you can only take risks.

Lu Su shook his head, driving away the superfluous thoughts in his mind. Crawling in the grass with Zhu Jun and looking at the road ahead. As for the other soldiers who were in ambush, they dug a ditch on both sides of the road and climbed inside, ready to wait for the arrival of the Yellow Turban soldiers.

In fact, Lu Su knew that this could not be regarded as an ambush at all, but only that it could take the lead and catch people first, and when the troops were close to each other for a while, they could take the people first and catch the other party off guard.

However, where did the war come from 100% victory? As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must continue to strive for it. What's more, the number of people on the side is much more than that of the Yellow Turban Army, and the training of the soldiers is also very different.

Just when Zhu Jun was ambushing people on both sides of the road, on the other side of the mountain, Zhu Jun and Guan Hai, who were waiting for him, finally came to the mountain pass with his troops.

Guan Hai rode on a tall horse, and there were mighty and sturdy men standing on the left and right. Guan Hai looked at the steep peaks on both sides and ordered the troops to stop advancing. With a wave of his hand, a general waiting on the side walked in front of Guan Hai, looked at Guan Hai, and prepared to obey Guan Hai's order.

Guan Hai looked at the generals in front of him, and there was no extra nonsense, so he directly ordered and said: The army will stop advancing, and send people into the mountains first to see if the Han army has set up an ambush here. Be careful, be sure to look closely.

Guan Hai, who was not at ease, also gave a special advice.

After the obedient general said yes loudly, he hurried down to give the order. Then there were orders from the army to stop advancing and rest in place.

Guan Hai didn't pay much attention to the army behind him, but instead stared at the hundred and ten scouts who left the army and rushed to the mountains ahead
