Chapter 742: Mobilize Yuan Shu
Liu Bei walked around the camp and then returned to the camp. However, no matter what Liu Bei did, there was always a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, and he couldn't calm down and do things.
"Someone!"
The voice fell, and a soldier quickly ran in from outside the big tent, bowing down and waiting for Liu Bei to give instructions.
Liu Bei ordered: "Please invite the three generals to come to the camp to discuss matters!" β
"No!"
The soldier nodded in response, turned around and walked out of the tent, informing Zhang Fei to go. After a while, Zhang Fei strode in. Entering the camp tent, Zhang Fei lifted his robe and sat down, and asked angrily: "Big brother, I am training the soldiers and asking them to prepare for the big battle at night, you sent someone to find me, do you have something important?" β
Liu Bei sighed and said, "Third brother, I always feel uneasy in my heart, it seems that something important has happened!" β
He looked sad and had a worried look on his face.
Zhang Fei clenched his fists and said, "Big brother, you are worried because you are going to lead the troops to attack Shangyong City at night. Although the eldest brother was relieved, the scout reported that the second brother had already infiltrated the city, and now when night falls, we can lead our troops into Shangyong City. After Shangyong City succeeds, we will defeat Wang Can, then kill Lu Bu, and finally subdue Chen Gong, and the eldest brother will be able to develop steadily. β
Liu Bei hesitated for a moment and asked, "Third brother, do you think something will happen to Yun Chang?" β
Zhang Fei raised his head, then shook his head twice, and said: "The second brother has superb swordsmanship and the courage of ten thousand people, even if there are many soldiers in the city, but with the ability of the second brother, even if he encounters danger, he can save his life, so don't worry about it." Big brother, I think you're overworked, take a good rest. β
Liu Bei said: "I always have a feeling of uneasiness in my heart, and it is likely that something big has happened. β
Zhang Fei saw that Liu Bei always talked about it, so he hurriedly diverted the topic and enlightened Liu Bei. The two talked for a while, and the uneasiness in Liu Bei's heart was slightly better.
Zhang Fei said: "Big brother, I still have to train soldiers and go back to the school field." β
Liu Bei snorted, waved his hand and signaled Zhang Fei to leave, and after Zhang Fei left, Liu Bei was the only one left in the tent, and he sat quietly in the big tent, deep in thought.
β¦β¦
Outside the city, twenty miles to the west.
After a heavy rain fell, Yuan Shu's soldiers all became chickens in the soup.
Yuan Shu was better, and when it rained, there were soldiers to block him from the heavy rain, so Yuan Shu's clothes were just a little damp, and he was not affected much.
"Report!"
A cavalryman came running quickly and roared.
Three zhang away from Yuan Shu, the soldier turned over and dismounted, ran over and hugged his fists and said, "My lord, we have found the scouts sent by Lu Meng several times in a row. These scouts came in waves to inquire about the situation, and it was already very much where we stayed. General, did you send soldiers to besiege and kill the scouts sent by LΓΌ Meng? β
Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows and said, "Ben General has already said that he will let them investigate, have you forgotten?" β
The cavalry immediately said: "No, obey the order!" β
After saying that, the cavalry turned and left.
Yuan Shu watched the cavalry leave, shook his head, and said to Qiao Rui, who was standing beside him: "These soldiers, they are simply stupid, they have already told them to let Lu Meng's scouts probe and come to inquire, it is simply inexplicable. Hmph, as long as Lu Meng knows that our soldiers are stationed here, and the strength is far superior to theirs, Lu Meng will not dare to act rashly, such a simple truth, these scouts can't understand, it's just a bunch of fools! β
Qiao Rui said with a smile: "General, it is normal for soldiers not to read military books, and they don't understand." The lord was born in the Yuan family, with a prominent family and a family history, of course, it is not comparable to a soldier. β
Yuan Shu laughed and nodded yes.
About half an hour later, Yuan Shu's subordinate Li Feng hurriedly arrived.
Although it didn't rain for a long time, the rain was too heavy, the road was loose and soft, and Li Feng ran all the way, and the soles of his shoes were already covered with mud. He ran to Yuan Shu's side, hugged his fists and said, "Lord, Lu Meng's soldiers are moving. β
Yuan Shu immediately asked, "Lu Meng is here?" β
Li Feng shook his head and said, "No, Lu Meng didn't come!" β
Yuan Shu showed an impatient expression on his face and said, "Can't you finish it all at once?" Say it quickly, carefully explain Lu Meng's affairs clearly, and don't miss anything. β
Li Feng smiled bitterly in his heart, this is why he didn't finish talking at one time, but just halfway through speaking, Yuan Shu interjected. He was a subordinate of Yuan Shu, so he naturally didn't dare to argue with Yuan Shu, so he had to say honestly: "Back to the lord, after Lu Meng sent scouts to find out the situation of our army, he has already led the troops to make a detour, wanting to rush to Shangyong City from the mountain road. β
Yuan Shu thought about it carefully, and then said: "In this way, Lu Meng has already guessed our intentions, so he wants to rush to Shangyong City as soon as possible to support Shangyong." β
Li Feng nodded and said, "The lord is wise! β
Yuan Shu instructed: "Li Feng, you immediately take the scout to find out the news, and find out whether Lu Meng really plans to take the mountain road to Shangyong, this matter must be investigated." If they go to the mountain road, and we chase after them and block them, but Lu Meng leads the troops back to take the official road, won't we be tricked? β
"No!"
Li Feng got the order and immediately went to carry out the order.
Yuan Shu looked at Qiao Rui again and ordered, "Qiao Rui, you lead fifty soldiers to the surrounding area to investigate the location of the road leading to Shangyong Mountain. We must find out the nearest mountain road to us, as long as we can quickly return to the official road, even if Lu Meng has a ghost idea, we don't have to worry. β
"No!"
Qiao Rui received the order, ordered fifty soldiers, and went with the soldiers to carry out the order.
Yuan Shu led the army, still staying where he was, waiting for the two to return.
About half an hour later, Qiao Rui ran back with fifty soldiers. He stood in front of Yuan Shu and said loudly: "My lord, the last general will explore the nearby mountain road leading to Shangyong City. And the nearest mountain road from here will take about a quarter of an hour to walk, and even if our troops find that Lu Meng has turned back to take the official road, we can quickly run to support. β
Yuan Shu snorted and continued to wait for Li Feng to return.
Not long after, Li Feng also returned with his soldiers.
Li Feng hugged his fists and said: "Lord, the last general has heard clearly, Lu Meng has led the soldiers into the mountain road, and wants to rush to Shangyong from the mountain road." After entering the mountain road, they can only walk forward, or through the mountains and forests, and then take the official road. However, after the rain, the mountains and forests were slippery and difficult to walk, and the possibility was too small, so the last general estimated that they wanted to hurry up and lead to Shangyong City. β
After Yuan Shu heard this, he ordered loudly: "The army will set off immediately and block Lu Meng's way to Shangyong." β
Yuan Shu was in high spirits, with a smug smile on his face.
Lu Meng only has seven or eight hundred soldiers, and he has thousands of soldiers, such a huge difference in strength, Yuan Shu is not afraid of Lu Meng at all, and besides, his task is only to drag Lu Meng, which is very easy.
β¦β¦
After LΓΌ Meng led the soldiers to walk the mountain road, the speed of the army was not fast, after all, after a heavy rain, the soil of the mountain road was soft and 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 have to take the mountain road?" β
Lu Meng asked rhetorically: "Huzi, we only have 800 soldiers, can we defeat 3,000 soldiers?" β
Zhang Hu nodded affirmatively: "Yes!" β
Lu Meng asked again: "After the battle, how many people can be left in the end?" β
After Zhang Hu heard this, he immediately wilted and stopped talking. This is the reason why Lu Meng has to take the mountain road, in the face of several times his own troops, he must use a little strategy to quickly rush to Shangyong City.
Only by fully mobilizing Yuan Shu can we succeed.
