Li Jing led the army to cross the Yangtze River from Jingzhou, galloped all the way to the south, and finally arrived at the first stop on the border of Yuezhou, Huarong Territory, which is the place where Cao Cao's army defeated Huarong Road in history.

If you want to go to Yueyang, you must go to Huarong, and the terrain of Huarong is dangerous, and now it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe Li Jing attaches great importance to this, according to the speculation of Emperor Li Yuan, the entire Yuezhou is not safe. But he still needs to rush over to protect the Emperor Taishang as quickly as possible.

"Dashuai, the terrain of Huarong Road is long and narrow and extremely dangerous, but our trip cannot be delayed, what should we do?" Zhang Liang asked.

Li Jing was also pondering this matter, and after a while, he opened his mouth and ordered: "Set up camp in place, send four scouts to investigate whether there is an ambush on the mountains on both sides of Huarong Road, and the army will rest for half a day, and prepare to set off after half a day." ”

After some investigation, it was found that there was no ambush in Huarong Dao, and the generals said that this was a false alarm, but Li Jing did not dare to be careless, and ordered the whole army to march in batches of ten teams, and quickly passed through Huarong Dao by moving ants.

Zhang Liangxin said that the handsome man was really cautious, but he didn't know, fortunately Li Jing was cautious this time, otherwise he would definitely lose a handful in this Huarong Road, although the mountain was searched by scouts and there was no ambush, but this does not mean that it is really safe.

At the edge of the cliff, in a depression, a small group of soldiers was discussing something, and one of them was scolding: "Damn, the master general on the other side is too shameless, it seems that there is no ambush, and he still uses this way to pass?" That's too cowardly, isn't it? ”

"Well, how do we go back and tell the leader?" One of the soldiers worried.

"What's the solution, but it doesn't matter, these mechanisms are not used this time, they will have to go sooner or later, and they will use it again next time, anyway, we are just adding some casualties to them, not to destroy them here."

Fourth, go, report to the chief, we continue to squat here to monitor, the lord ordered, although the court sent 20,000 soldiers and horses this time, but this is on the surface, we must observe whether there are soldiers and horses coming in secret. ”

A day later, Cheng Huaimo and the others also went to Huarong, but the difference was that they increased from a team of 10,000 to 10,000, because when they were in Jingzhou, in order to cross the Yangtze River, under the suggestion of Li Yuanba, they incorporated the Water Forest Gang on the Yangtze River as a special water army.

"Dashuai, Huarong Dao has natural dangers, how can we get over?" Li Yexu asked.

"Afraid of what? Didn't the 20,000 imperial soldiers and horses who opened the way for us all pass? Shall we just follow behind? Yu Chi Baolin shouted.

Li Chengdao stopped: "No, for the sake of caution, we must investigate, although we are now disguised as disciples of the Beggar Gang, it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will not do anything to a large number of beggars, after all, the beggars do not seem to have the strength of the army, and this is a good place for ambushes." ”

Cheng Huaimo ordered: "Send the most elite tiger guard scouts, search carefully on the cliffs on both sides, no matter whether the other party is ambushed or not, don't be alarmed, and come back quickly to report." ”

Tiger guard scout, is a special existence in this army of soldiers and horses, not to people as spies, but in the tiger army and the soldiers have been with the tiger for a long time, can be psychic to know people's intentions, such a smart tiger was selected to form a scout team, although the two sides can not communicate in the beast language, but it is still convenient to simply express that there are people and no one, and it is more advantageous to search in this way than people to do scouts in the mountains.

Sure enough, with this secret weapon, in less than half a day, the two teams hidden on the cliffs on both sides of Huarong Road were discovered by the tigers, different from human scouts, those two teams would not pay attention to the tigers when they saw them passing by, and they all thought that this was a tiger coming out to forage, who would have thought that this was the other party's scout??

"You mean, there's a squad of men in ambush on either side?"

"That's right, the Tiger Guard scouts can't count the number of people, but they know that there are not many people!" Yu Chi Baolin replied.

"So, there is something strange about this, that is, they have already monitored the movement of the army, but why not ambush here? 20,000 troops, Huarong Dao ambushed and intercepted once, how can you say that it will lose 5,000 or more, what is the other party doing? Li Chunfeng was puzzled.

"And how do we get through?" Qin Huaidao asked.

Everyone is worried about this, their more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, originally to hide, if such a blatant past, it will definitely be discovered, not to say 5,000 infantry, but there are two cavalry teams in it.

"All the foot soldiers, all disguised as the transport team of the beggar gang, we regard it as the past to transport grain, grass and ordnance to the army in front, three thousand cavalry, disguised as green forest men and horses, each prepared different weapons, in batches, each time more than a dozen, within five days to transport 3,000 people over is a great achievement." Cheng Huaimo ordered.

Because according to the itinerary of Li Jing's army, there are still two days to reach Yueyang, since it is a bandit, it is necessary to wait until there is an eyebrow before starting, so there will be no big war within a few days.

"Boss, another group of people is here, do you want to do it?" The squad of soldiers in ambush on Huarong Road shouted.

"Damn, it's really an evil sect, their grain transportation team just passed a few days ago, and here is another group of people called Hanako to help transport grain? Are they going to spend money with us in this Yuezhou?

Can't do it, don't you see it's the convoy of the beggars? The Lord has an agreement with others, the beggars will not participate in the war, and we will not kill the beggars.

Hmph, in the past two days, the evil gate, the Green Forest Ranger has all been crowded here, and now even Huazi has come to join in the fun, it seems that Bai Fan is really capable, so many people protect him. ”

The road went smoothly, Li Jing took 20,000 people into Yueyang City without the slightest hindrance, and met the Emperor Li Yuan, for his safety, Li Jing immediately ordered to take over the defense of Yueyang City.

But a day later, while everyone was still discussing how to find the bandits' hiding place, Cheng Huaimo sent a person to report that a scout had been found in Huarong Dao.

Li Jing was puzzled, why did the other party just send scouts to monitor, but didn't do anything? If you fight, Huarong Dao is the most suitable for ambush, don't want such a good place, what does the other party want to do? Is it really a bunch of bandits who don't get into the stream?

Soon, the reality told Li Jing the answer, people are not bandits who are not in the stream, and they don't look down on the corners of Huarong Road because they have better plans.

"Report! Dashuai, a large number of soldiers and horses appeared around Yueyang, look at that posture, they are going to attack the city! The gate guards shouted loudly.

"What? Where did the centaurs come from? How many people are there? In the City Lord's Mansion, Li Jing was shocked.

"I don't know where they came from, they are coming from all directions, look at the number of people, there are no less than 50,000 troops, and Yueyang is surrounded by water!"

Urgently took his generals to the city to investigate, and saw that the bottom was densely packed with soldiers, and then thought of Cheng Huaimo's report, Li Jing still didn't understand that he was deliberately let go by others, and after inviting you into the urn, he came to close the door and beat the dog.

Being able to silently gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to besiege Yueyang means that Yueyang is already a lonely city at this time, and the entire Yuezhou has fallen into the hands of bandits.

Seeing this, Li Yuan suddenly realized, and sighed: "The other party has a clever plan, secretly controlled the entire territory of Yuezhou, leaving Yueyang alone to deal with the imperial court, and now using this old guy as bait to attract reinforcements from the imperial court, and finally destroy all of us."

What a vicious strategy. ”

However, as shrewd as Li Yuan, he didn't guess all the other party's plans at this time, and the viciousness of others is more than that!
