In this way, none of the most capable three-way soldiers and horses in the allied army were willing to be forest birds, and for a moment there was silence in the tent.

Seeing that everyone didn't mean to speak, Liu Zhang said: "Lu Bu's soldiers are strong and strong, our army is not good to fight hard with it, in my opinion, our army should stick to the camp and not give the enemy a chance to take advantage of, as time goes by, the other army's heart will be slack, and then our army can counterattack comprehensively, defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop, and smash Luoyang!" ”

Kong Rong said: "In Captain Liu's opinion, if our army insists on not fighting, the fighter plane will appear by itself? ”

Zhang Miao couldn't wait to express his opinion, and said: "In my opinion, I am afraid that the spirit of the other army is not slackened, but our army has already collapsed without a fight!" ”

Everyone held this opinion, but they forgot that just now they were still afraid of the enemy and did not dare to fight.

Liu Zhang said: "You can rest assured, our army is a three-way attack this time, if our army will keep the enemy's elite here, it will give the north and south two roads of the army a chance to take advantage of, the highway general and others are the world's heroes, resourceful, get this good opportunity, will take the opportunity to enter the army, criticize the overkill, and take Luoyang directly, once Luoyang is in danger, Dong thief will call Lu Bu back to help, and our army can take the opportunity to chase and kill, and will win a complete victory!" ”

Everyone had nothing to do, so they had to nod their heads, but in fact, they didn't know that even the main force of the allied forces was afraid of the enemy and avoided the battle, let alone others? If you pin your hopes on Yuan Shu and others, it is actually the same as no hope!

After a few more words, and after instructing the soldiers on duty to strictly monitor the enemy's movements, everyone returned to the camp.

At noon, the rumbling of horses' hooves came from far and near, and needless to say, Lu Bu's army arrived.

The soldiers on duty reported the movements of the enemy troops like a stream.

"The enemy is ...... three miles away"

"The enemy and the vanguard have converged......"

"The enemy army entered the village to rest and recuperate......"

"There is a big movement in the enemy village, and there seems to be a major military ......"

"The door of the enemy village is wide open, and the army is rushing to our village......"

"Enemy ......"

“……”

Liu Dai and others made up their minds to respond to all changes unchanged (or fear, not daring to make the slightest move), and handed over the front-line military power to their generals, and did not show up themselves, so as not to be humiliated by the enemy.

Liu Zhang also understood that he would definitely not hear any good words when he went to see Lu Bu, and he was not so cheap, so he sent it to be scolded, so he asked Xu Huang and Wei Yan to lead 3,000 soldiers to the outer earthen wall to assist the princes to meet the enemy.

Lu Bu hurried for more than 30 miles in a row, but he was already sleepy and weak, and he cursed outside the village for more than half an hour, and saw that the enemy army was so "heavy" that he had to withdraw his troops and return.

That night, Liu Zhang's sweet dream was in full swing, but Dian Wei shouted outside the tent: "Son, there is an emergency military situation ......"

Liu Zhang immediately put on his clothes and said, "Come in......"

Dian Wei and Xu Chu entered the tent together, and before they had time to give a salute, they listened to Dian Wei and said: "Yu Gongzi, there is news from the upper reaches of the riverbank that there is an enemy army secretly boarding the boat ten miles upstream, as if coming towards our army!" ”

Liu Zhang's heart moved, but he was not too anxious, he had already taken precautions, set up a guard post upstream, and arranged a considerable number of troops on the shore where the camp was based, even if the enemy army was coming at him, he had time to react, and he also had the strength to resist, so there was no need to worry at all. I only heard him say lightly: "How about the enemy's soldiers and horses?" Have you already set off? ”

Dian Wei said: "Yu Gongzi, because the sky is too dark, our army scouts dare not get too close, so they can't see the number of enemy troops clearly, according to the scouts' estimates, the strength is between 7,000 and 10,000; When the scouts returned, the enemy was boarding the ship, and it was estimated that there would be half an hour to go! ”

Liu Zhang nodded: "Hurry up and invite Wenruo, Gongda, Fengxiao, Gongming, Boning and others to come!" ”

Dian Wei said: "Yes! "Saying that, he got out of the big tent.

Not long after, Xun Yu and others arrived one after another.

Liu Zhang looked at everyone, except for Wei Ting, who was defending against the enemy on the earthen wall, the rest of the main generals and strategists had arrived, so he asked Dian Wei to tell everyone about the situation.

After listening to Dian Wei's words, everyone's reaction was similar to Liu Zhang's, although the specific strength of the enemy army is unknown, but it should be on par with his own army, his own army is ready for battle, and the enemy army is paralyzed and careless, unsuspecting, if a little arrangement, it is not difficult to invite you into the urn, and it is not difficult to completely annihilate the enemy.

Guo Jia took the lead and said: "Today is the sixth day of the first month, the moon is light and the stars are sparse, the line of sight is extremely poor, the enemy army is difficult to argue about the reality of our army, we can bluff and surrender without a fight!" ”

Liu Zhang said: "May I ask Fengxiao, how can you surrender the soldiers without a fight?" ”

Guo Jia said: "This matter is easy, Gongzi can withdraw the troops arranged by our army on the shore, the enemy will think that our army is in danger of the Yellow River, and if it is not guarded, the enemy will be arrogant and go straight to our army's camp." Our camp is not far from the riverbank, but there is a forest in the middle, and if you want to attack our army, you must pass through the woods. After going down and looking at it, although the number of forests over there is not large, it is not difficult to hide twenty or thirty thousand people. We can set up fire-starters outside the woods and send archers to block the woods, and when the enemy enters the woods, the soldiers bluff outside, giving the enemy the illusion that they have entered an ambush with our superior forces, and then ignite a few fires to threaten the enemy and continue to attack the enemy's morale. Then persuade the enemy to surrender, if the enemy army is not stupid, it will definitely surrender! ”

Full Favor said: "Fengxiao's plan is wonderful, but our army has limited strength, and the woodland is vast, and it is impossible to do everything without it!" ”

Guo Jia said: "It doesn't matter, just arrange a large number of fire-starting objects, and a soldier can hold an extremely wide battle line." If the enemy stubbornly resists to the end, our army can set fire to the forest and completely annihilate the enemy. ”

Zhang Rendao: "General Wen Chang is leading 3,000 soldiers and horses, if the troops are insufficient, can he be transferred back?" ”

Xun Yu said: "No, since the enemy army is coming to sneak attack, it is impossible for the frontal army not to take action, Lu Bu must know that only by fighting on two fronts can our army take care of one and lose the other, and give it a chance!" ”

Zhang Ren listened to Xun Yu's words, nodded, and said, "Mr. is reasonable, Ren Menglang!" At this time, Zhang Ren was still young and lacked experience, so he didn't think about things comprehensively.

Xi Zhicai said: "I seem to have the intention of surrendering the enemy army on this road for my own use? ”

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Yes, Zhicai really knows me, our army is weak now, if you want to grow, the best way is to surrender and accept the rebellion, those soldiers are veterans who have been in the army for several years, if they can be incorporated into our army, they can participate in the war with a little training, and the combat power is good, so we can also strengthen our army!" And once you engage in a war with it, even if you win, you will destroy 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself! ”

Xi Zhicai said: "This matter is not difficult, according to Wen Ruo's plan, our army is very likely to receive this road of soldiers and horses!" ”

Xun Yu smiled and said: "Zhicai, I know you have something to say, why don't you say it directly?" You and I have been friends since childhood, are you still afraid that I will be angry? ”

Liu Zhang also said: "Yes, the so-called one person is short, two people are long, what is the addition of Zhicai, please tell me!" ”

Xi Zhicai hurriedly said: "Childe, Wen Ruo's plan is wonderful......"

Xun Yu deliberately said with a straight face: "I don't like to listen to people's sycophants!" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "According to Wen Ruo's plan, the enemy will not dare to act rashly after being ambushed, as long as the frontal battlefield does not teach Lu Bu to succeed, and wait until the dawn, the enemy knows that there is no hope of being rescued, and he will surrender!" However, it is necessary to prevent the enemy from breaking through before ......"

Zhou Cang said loudly: "Pile him with oil, firewood and grass outside the forest, and see if he dares to break through!" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "The rest of the aspects are easy to say, but the riverside cannot be arranged in advance, otherwise the enemy will definitely notice, and the scale of the forest over there is not enough for the enemy to go deep and then give our army time to arrange the fire, before our army blocks the opening, the enemy forward is likely to have reached the edge of the forest!" ”

Zhou Cang said: "We can hide most of our troops by the river, and once the enemy enters the forest, we can immediately plug the gap?" ”

Xi Zhicai stroked his palms and smiled: "General Zhou is really smart, and he also has this intention below!" ”

Zhou Cang's dark face suddenly smiled.

Xi Zhicai said: "However, our army is limited, and it must be arranged on all sides, and the side near the river is not enough to intercept the enemy army who are fighting the trapped beasts, and the best way is to burn the enemy army to take the boat, so that the enemy army is trapped in the allied camp, and there is nowhere to go, and it will be difficult to fly, and in the end, if you don't want to die, you have to surrender!" ”

Zhou Cang said: "Yes, yes, if they don't fall, I will drive them to the river to feed Wang Ba......"

Liu Zhang smiled and said: "It's a good one to invite you into the urn and ambush on all sides, do you have any opinions?" If not, do so! ”

Everyone agrees with this method.
