At this time, Sun Quan had already led the army to move to the Yiting military camp.

He was full of confidence that Liu Beihui would agree to his request for a decisive battle.

He knows Liu Bei and Guan Yuzhi too well, both of them are strong people, and when they are angry, they will definitely agree without thinking.

Just waited left and right, and waited for a whole day, and there was no reply from the direction of the Shu army. This surprised him.

In the evening of the same day, an arrow rang at the camp gate, and the guards finally sent Liu Bei's reply.

When Sun Quan opened the envelope with hope and read it carefully, he was suddenly a little dumbfounded.

Liu Bei didn't even say a word about the decisive battle, and between the lines he vaguely revealed the meaning of retreating!

This made him suddenly feel like a punch hitting the cotton, such a feeling of strength and nowhere to go, it was uncomfortable.

Lu Xun saw that since he could not persuade Wu Hou to fight a decisive battle, he wholeheartedly took on the role of a staff officer, and he pointed out that this was Liu Bei's strategy of retreating.

Sun Quan was suspicious and sent scouts to the Shu army position to investigate.

As the scouts scattered out, they found that the strength of the Shu army began to shrink, and they all stuck to the camp and did not come out, and they also discarded the newly built siege equipment everywhere.

At this time, Sun Quan finally believed that Liu Bei was really ready to withdraw from the army.

After hearing about it, the generals who came with him all shouted that the Shu army was inferior and vulnerable.

What's more, he actually volunteered to attack the Shu army camp.

As a result, Wu Shu's offensive and defensive situations were mutually exchanged. Within a few days, every day, Wu soldiers ran to the front of the Han military camp to call for battle.

The soldiers of the Han army got the orders of Fa Zheng and did everything they could to do what Lu Xun had done before: The wall is scolding you, if you want to lure me into battle, there is no door.

During this period, Liu Bei sent a letter with fierce rhetoric, accusing Sun Quan of betraying the covenant and starting a war without permission.

But the more this is the case, the more Sun Quan feels that Liu Bei is strong and capable.

Scolding and scolding, there is a kind of coming out to beat me! However, Liu Bei guarded the camp and had no intention of facing the battle.

Everything that happened in the past few days made Sun Quan proud and anxious.

is so proud that in front of his own army, Liu Bei actually confessed!

In his impression, Liu Bei is a man who has been defeated and fought repeatedly, and will never give up, in the battle of Chibi that year, in the face of Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops, despite the disparity in strength, he still has a posture of fighting to the end, and he has never seen who he is soft.

But this time, he did relent!

Sun Quan no longer doubted that the Shu army was outnumbered, and it was indeed not his opponent.

If he could still be cautious about the decisive battle before, then at this time he was already convinced that the Wu army's combat strength was far superior to the Shu army.

On the other hand, it also made him very anxious. Shu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, once Liu Bei is allowed to get out of Shu, it will be extremely difficult to catch him in the future!

As time passed, Sun Quan became anxious and war-seeking, and he became better and better day by day, and the whole person seemed to be completely immersed in conceit and irritability.

The emotions of the main general were quickly transmitted to the army, which made the officers and men of Eastern Wu more and more arrogant, and the army was full of an argument:

As long as the decisive battle can be held, the Shu army will be defeated!

It was not that there were no sober people in the camp, such as Lu Xun, but he had no way to advise.

Wu Hou could no longer listen to the contrary advice at this moment, and even sometimes, even his request to see would be ignored.

Han army camp.

In the past few days, Guan Yu has been visiting and contacting the barracks of various ministries day and night, and it is appropriate to give face-to-face lectures; And according to the terrain of the decisive battle site, the arrangement of troops was deduced, and the battle formation of the art of war was formulated.

The Art of War: Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent.

Guan Yurong has been well-informed all his life, and knows that there is no once and for all battle in the world.

As the chief general, he must put up a suitable formation according to the geography and the characteristics of both the enemy and the enemy.

With just the right military formation, you can help the weaker side defeat the fierce enemy army.

Because the terrain of the decisive battle was selected by Jiang Wei first and then submitted to the army for discussion and approval, he was ordered to follow Guan Yu to counsel and consult.

Guan Yu has been immersed in this way for many years, there are furrows in his chest, and he has splendid inside, and when it comes to the way of frontal use of soldiers, it is said that it is the first in the world, and it is by no means an exaggeration.

Jiang Wei naturally knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he cheered up his spirit, half for advice, half for advice, and eager to learn the art of battle in a dignified battle.

Guan Yu thanked him for his kindness of traveling thousands of miles, and saw that he was smart and studious, so he was naturally willing to teach him; Sometimes when I encounter difficulties, I will spend more time and be careful.

Jiang Wei's way of command, from being brave and diligent in just a few days, has a tendency to move thousands of miles in a day.

The more Guan Yu who is a teacher, the more he feels that this son is talented, and many truths that can only be understood but cannot be spoken, often through a point, once they are thorough, and sometimes they can draw inferences from the surface and the inside, and they can't help but secretly admire.

If so, time flies.

On the evening of the 24th, Liu Bei finally waited for the messenger of Shamoke, who came to restore his life.

The envoy bluntly said that the 5,000-strong army of Wuxi Man had already entered Ma'anshan, which was twenty miles away, and as long as the signal was received, it could rush to the decisive battle site within an hour.

This means that the decisive battle has arrived!

With Liu Bei's order, all the generals of the Han army gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Fa Zheng carefully inquired about the preparations of various departments; and instructed the navy to strengthen the preparation on the river to beware of a sneak attack by the Eastern Wu navy; He also focused on inquiring about the movements of the Wei army in Jiangbei.

After learning that there was no change in the Dangyang camp of the Wei army, Fa Zheng finally suggested to Liu Bei that he should revise the book to accept Sun Quan's proposal for a decisive battle!

After seeing the messenger set off overnight, the generals of the Han army geared up, encouraged each other, and returned to the camp to make the final preparations before the decisive battle.

******

On the twenty-fifth day of the first month, the turn of Chouyin, the fog, the camp of the Wu army.

Since receiving Liu Bei's reply confirming the decisive battle yesterday evening, Sun Quan has been excited for a whole day and a night, and he has never closed his eyes for a moment at night.

It feels like going back to the eve of the Battle of Chibi overnight.

Finally, when the hour came, it was still dark and he couldn't see his fingers, so he began to put on his armor and scarf under the service of his attendants.

As the lord of Eastern Wu, he created a pair of extremely powerful armor for himself, and the process of wearing it was also very complicated.

The most intimate side is a silk coat, lined with a soft armor made of juvenile rhinoceros skin, covered with a layer of silk clothes outside the soft armor, and finally a collar of fish scale armor, covered with lion swallow shoulder armor on the shoulder, the waist is tied to the beast swallow, the arm is wrapped in cage hands, the legs are covered with leg armor, the feet are on rhinoceros leather shoes, and the head is wearing a hood.

This armor, all the metal faces, are floated with gold leaf, and under the candlelight, it shines brightly, and it is extraordinary.

It took a long time for Sun Quan to finish putting it on, and then he put the four-foot-long sword "White Rainbow" diagonally on his belt.

There are seven colors of the rainbow, and the white rainbow is one of them, and the sword body of this hundred refining sword is also as smooth as the white rainbow, shining with cold light, which makes people dare not look at it.

After Sun Quan got it, he couldn't put it down, and he had to take it with him when he went in and out.

In two hours will be the decisive battle of today, and the men in the camp will get up early to make a fire and make food.
