Liu Yi did not immediately move troops, then Meng Shu could afford to wait, he could afford to wait, Liu Yi remembered that in the story of the seven captures of Meng Huo, there was poisonous gas on the water surface in the Lushui area, although the blood water was only a branch of Lushui, but for the sake of prudence, Liu Yi still ordered someone to invite local mountain people to ask about the specific situation.

"There is no blood, water and turbulent water, although it is poisonous, it is not fatal." The mountain people listened to Liu Yi's inquiry, and replied with a smile: "But if you go further north, you have to be careful when you reach the top of the Lushui, the more the water flow is gentle, the more you can't walk during the day, the mountain poison gas is exposed to the scorching sun, most of them gather here, if people get close, it will not take a moment to be poisoned, this water can not be drunk at will, it is best to find some spring water in the mountains to drink, otherwise it is easy to be poisoned." ”

Liu Yi kept in mind what the mountain people said, and after thanking him, he asked the mountain people to stay, many things in this southern and central land were not very clear, in order to avoid the Tao, Liu Yi specially went to the nearby tribes, and asked the patriarch for more than ten mountain people who were familiar with the geography of the nearby mountains and rivers, and they were divided into various armies as guides.

In the next few days, Liu Yi led the mountain people to carefully survey the terrain in the bloodless area more than once, and made the sand table meticulous to the general shape of each mountain and the mountain road, and then he was satisfied.

Then Liu Yi ordered people to talk about the source of Meng Huo's grain and grass, the path taken, and after choosing the right place, on the ninth day of the seventh month, Liu Yi ordered people to go down to the village in the mountains, and set up a total of three camps, which were blocked on the three main roads, and he and Huang Zhong and Yang Ren each led a garrison to guard the camp, completely cutting off the absolute grain road, and Liu Yi ordered Zhao Guang to go to Gukou to set up a village, and did not let Meng Huo pass through here.

……

On the other hand, after Meng Shu chose to go to the village without blood, he made up his mind not to send troops, just waiting for Liu Yi to attack, if Liu Yi detoured, he would take the opportunity to rob his grain and cut off his way back.

On this day, Meng Shu was taking Mrs. Zhurong to drink and feast with the cave masters, and suddenly someone came to report that the Han army stopped at the mouth of the valley and went down to the village at the mouth of the valley to cut off their grain routes.

Meng Shu hadn't considered this question before.

Mrs. Zhurong beside her frowned and said: "Once the grain road is cut off here, if our army replenishes grain and grass from Yunnan, it will need to detour for 300 miles to get there, which is quite inconvenient." ”

Originally, more than 100 miles of grain road, if you add 300 miles at once, the consumption of grain transportation is probably more than that consumed by the army, Meng Shu just roughly estimated it in his heart, and knew that this method was not feasible, there was not much grain and grass in the land of Nanzhong, and in previous years, most of them were obtained from the Han people, and now although they have Yongchang stored grain, they can't withstand such a toss.

Patting his head, Meng Shu said with a look of chagrin: "But I forgot this." ”

"But I don't know who the general who guards the valley mouth is?" Brought the cave master to ask, Zhang Bao and Guan Xingke under Liu Yi are very powerful, the last time he fought with Zhang Bao, Sanhe didn't arrive, he was almost killed by Zhang Bao on the spot, and he was a little jealous in his heart, not to mention that there was a character who could capture Meng Shu alive.

"Back to the Barbarian King, the other party's banner is Zhao, and I can't understand the rest!" The barbarian soldiers who came to report bowed down.

"Zhao?" The cave master thought about it, frowned, and said: "There is a small general named Zhao Guang under Liu Yi, this person is the second son of Zhao Yun, the general under Liu Bei, just like Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, not to be underestimated!" ”

Mrs. Zhurong stood up and said, "In that case, the concubine will go to the camp in person." ”

"Madame, wait!" Among a group of barbarian generals, one person suddenly came out of the crowd, everyone regarded it, it was Meng Huo's general who was busy with his teeth, before Meng Huo returned alone, without bringing people and horses, these days passed, Meng Huo stayed in Yongchang's various departments and horses have returned, and now most of them are stationed in Kunchi to rest, this busy tooth chief is a fierce general under Meng Huo, Meng Huo also feels that he does not have a powerful leader around him, although Mrs. Zhurong is powerful, but usually leads an army, so he takes several generals around him to listen to it, this busy tooth chief is one of them.

Seeing everyone's eyes, the busy tooth chief said proudly: "But the nameless man, if he really has the ability, why don't you see that Liu Yi let him go out like the second general Guan Zhang?" The last general is willing to personally lead the army and take his head and sacrifice it to the barbarian king. ”

Meng Shu also felt that he relied on his wife for everything, and he would seem to be a little incompetent, seeing that he was busy and took the initiative to ask for battle, plus Zhao Guang's reputation was not as good as Guan Xing and Zhang Bao's reputation in Nanzhong, and in the second-generation trio, it was one that was neglected, and his ability should not be too big.

"Madam, it's just a small general, Mrs. He Lao personally took action? I asked the busy teeth to go, but this matter also needs to be taken seriously, and I can't let Liu Yi cut off my food channel. Meng Shu patted the back of Mrs. Zhurong's hand and smiled.

You can't make people think that the dignified barbarian king is a soft eater, although the lady is powerful, the prestige of this family still has to be established.

Mrs. Zhurong nodded when she heard this, and didn't say anything more, at that moment, Meng was given three thousand soldiers and horses to the busy tooth chief, and asked him to go to fight Zhao Guang.

When he said goodbye to Meng Huo and led three thousand barbarian soldiers straight to the valley, he saw that Zhao Guang had set up a camp on the valley, the camp area was quite large, and the entire valley mouth was included in the village along with drinking water.

The busy tooth chief urged the horse to come to the front of the battle, and said loudly in the direction of the camp: "Where is Zhao Guang, dare to go out of the camp to fight with me?" ”

Zhao Guang stood on top of the gate, frowning and looking at those barbarian soldiers, the number of about 3,000 people, and Liu Yi only gave him 1,000 people to guard the camp, at this time, if he went out of the camp to fight, it was naturally difficult to defeat the opponent, and said loudly at the moment: "Why bother with all this nonsense, if you want to pass, you can break through the camp, if you don't have the ability, you can go back, please ask that Meng to come to fight." ”

When the busy tooth chief heard this, he was furious and immediately waved his troops to attack.

Zhao Guang saw that the barbarian army was in chaos, and the siege was even more orderless, so he immediately stopped the archers from releasing arrows, and only after the other party approached the camp, he suddenly fired arrows in a random manner, and a large number of barbarian troops were shot.

In the midst of the chaos, he was busy with the arrows that shot at him, and seeing that the enemy's arrow array was powerful, he did not dare to force it, so he had to order the soldiers to retreat.

Zhao Guang stood on top of the enemy tower, watched its formation be chaotic, advanced and retreated, and left 200 people to defend the camp at the moment, personally led 800 soldiers to kill out of the camp, and followed.

The barbarian army is fleeing from the embarrassment, He Zeng thought that the Han army, who was unwilling to go out of the camp to fight, suddenly killed, the already chaotic formation was rushed by the Han army, and suddenly it was even more chaotic, fleeing back all over the mountains, Zhao Guang also ignored the barbarians who fled to the mountains, and led the soldiers and horses to kill only at the Shuai Qi.

The busy tooth chief obviously didn't expect that he would come violently, but what he got was such a result, three thousand barbarian warriors were chased and killed by hundreds of people on the other side, and they were in a hurry, and they slapped their horses and danced their knives, so they killed Zhao Guang, wanting to kill this person first and kill the enemy army back.

The two soon met on the battlefield, and as soon as they met, they were stabbed off the horse by Zhao Guang.

Don't look at the Japanese army camp, Liu Yi pays more attention to Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, it is not that Liu Yi favors one over the other, but he is at ease with Zhao Guang, Zhao Guang is down-to-earth and steady, whether he studied art or martial arts in the academy at the beginning, he belongs to the kind of person who takes one step at a time and lays an extremely solid foundation, and his own talent does not have to be poor between Guan and Zhang, and in terms of tutoring, Zhao Yun obviously has more time and patience than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to teach his children, plus he has studied in Liu Yi's side for several years, and his comprehensive ability is among the three, Rather, it's the best one.

This blockade is bloodless, Liu Yi just saw Zhao Guang's calm and assertive characteristic, and handed over this task to Zhao Guang, and now it seems that Zhao Guang obviously did not disappoint Liu Yi, just in one battle, he won more with less, and killed the enemy's main general.

The rest of the barbarians saw that the master was going to be killed, and it was even more chaotic, and there was no fighting spirit, Zhao Guang chased all the way for more than ten miles, only then did he stop the momentum and lead the army back to the camp.

On the other side, Meng Shu was still having a banquet with a group of cave masters, but he received the news that he was killed in a battle and that three thousand soldiers and horses were defeated by Zhao Guang.

"I don't want that Zhao Guang to be so powerful!" A cave master frowned and said, "Now that we are waiting for the grain road to be sealed, if it goes on like this for a long time, I am afraid that we will collapse without a fight." ”

The three armies have no food, how can this battle be fought?

Meng Shu did not speak with a calm face, and he also understood in his heart at this moment that he had committed a taboo in the army, and he only thought about how to make Liu Yi be recruited, but he didn't expect to send himself into a dead end.

"For today's plan, we can only break this camp first, and then discuss other things!" After a long silence, Meng Shu said in a deep voice.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, he feels that the people around him have changed their eyes, but at the moment it is indeed his own decision-making mistake, if he wants to get angry, there is no reason to send it, he can only change the topic, there is still some grain and grass in the army at the moment, but it can't be supported for too long, and the grain road must be dredged as soon as possible.

Before, he thought about the idea of waiting for Liu Yi to attack behind closed doors, but at this moment he was unable to continue, and he could only continue to attack Liu Yi's camp.

"Everyone, let's go and count the soldiers and horses, we will first break through the vast camp of Zhao today, and then fight Liu Yi again."

"Whoa!" The cave masters didn't have much idea at the moment, they nodded their heads and promised, the banquet naturally couldn't go on, everyone returned to the camp and began to gather their subordinates, preparing to storm Zhao Guang's camp.

On the other side, after Zhao Guang collected his troops and returned to the camp, he unexpectedly saw Ma Jian waiting in the camp, and hurriedly came to visit: "Why is Mr. here?" ”

"I came on the order of the Pavilion Marquis, congratulations to the general on his victory in the first battle." Ma Jian smiled.

"But with the help of location." Zhao Guang shook his head modestly and said, "I don't know what Tinghou commands?" ”

"After this battle, Na Meng saw that the grain road was cut off, and he must raise troops to attack, in order to avoid heavy casualties, the Pavilion Marquis ordered you to give up this village and retreat to the grain road." Ma Tan smiled.

"Why is that?" Zhao Guang was puzzled.

"Don't you smell one blow, then decline, and then exhaustion?" Ma Jian said with a smile: "That Meng is coming violently, morale must be heavy, at this time you can't touch it hard, avoid it first, after the other party occupies this pass, the morale will fall, and then defeat him, it's easy!" ”
