Since entering Julu County, Liu Lan and his entourage have become extremely cautious, no one knows when Zhang Jaw will appear in the shadows, but he knows that Zhang Jaw will appear sooner or later, but it depends on whether he enters the battle place he has chosen in advance, that is, the encirclement, it is impossible for him to take advantage of the geographical advantage when he is hiding in the shadows, after all, in the case of few soldiers, only a sudden attack can give a fatal blow to the enemy.

In view of this, and he was eager to fight with Zhang Jaw, so he did a lot of articles when he set up the camp, and just like setting up the camp today, he first chose a low area to be stationed, which was intended to lead Zhang Jaw to appear. At the same time, horses and antlers were set up around the tent, and traps and pits were set up inside the tent to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to enter the camp.

These days, he arranged it like this night and night, and the enthusiasm of the initial soldiers was inevitably high, but as the days passed, the useless practice made some Youzhou soldiers complain, and Liu Lan could only say some promises to make profits, but fortunately, most of them were old people who went to Longcuo with Liu Lan, and they had the experience of Longcuo, and these soldiers naturally knew that Liu Lan was heroic, plus they were all elites in Youzhou, and the duty of the soldiers coupled with Liu Lan's empty check immediately calmed the complaints in their hearts.

In this way, under the deployment of many days of defense, the erection of the trap has long been familiar with the trapping, compared to the initial disorder. At this time, it took less than an hour to set up the camp site, and the camp tent was properly arranged up and down. There is not a trace of vulnerability.

It wasn't until late at night that everyone came out of Liu Lan's tent. They went back to the tent to rest, several of them took turns guarding every night, tonight it was Xu Chu's turn to keep vigil, Liu Lan, who was bored in the camp tent, went to bed and slept after reading a book for a while, and I don't know how long it was, suddenly a long and two short 'coo' sounds from far and near, and suddenly struggled to wake up, knowing in my heart that this was a signal from a bright and two dark sentry arranged outside the camp tent. It means that the enemy is coming to attack the battalion.

drew the sword and slay the dragon knife, and immediately met Tian Yu, who looked nervous, and then Zhen Yan and Xu Shu came one after another, and the four of them commanded the soldiers and horses to quietly approach Xu Chu.

Xu Chu hid in the arranged dark place at this time, and when he saw Liu Lan and others coming, he said in a low voice: "Lord! ”

"Yes."

Liu Lan answered, and began to look at the pitch-black distance around him, and after everything was fruitless, he stretched out his ears to listen to the ground. I wanted to find something, but I still didn't find anything. Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, he looked at the people who were already lying in the shadows, and said, "Watch carefully." Put the open jaw in and hit! ”

Tonight can be regarded as a rare good weather in the winter night, but everyone felt the undercurrent surging under the silent starry sky, and even the atmosphere did not dare to take a breath. But the murderous intent in his eyes is getting stronger and stronger.

Whether or not tonight can be achieved is up to here. Liu Lan thought to himself, but heard Zhen Yan say a little impatiently: "Why haven't you come yet?" It's been a long time since the signal from the sentinel, so it stands to reason. It's time for the jaw to appear, too. ”

When everyone heard Zhen Yan say this, some echoed, some were silent, but Liu Lan still looked into the distance, like the most delicate businessman in his heart, silently calculated, in vain to the heart, and secretly said badly: "At this winter night, I use the sound of birdsong to transmit the message, how can I not be checked by the open jaw?" Even if it is a hot summer night, if the enemy really attacks, you should be careful in the camp. After all, he wanted to bring them in, not let the enemy find out. For so many years, the enemies he has faced are either peasant armies such as Yellow Turban and Bai Bo or alien races such as Xianbei and Karasuma, but it was not until Dong Dong met Xu Rong and Liyi that he really met the opponent. I made such a big omission, why didn't Xu Shu or even anyone else object, or even stop me? Could it be that he immediately said with relief: It seems that whether it is Xu Shu, Tian Yu or Zhen Yan, after all, they are still young people in their early twenties, even if they have a good plan, but after all, this is the first time they have gone to the battlefield, let alone them, even a battlefield veteran like him has gone wrong, of course, the most critical point is that when he conveyed the order again, they let them go wrong, they only thought that they were careful to prevent a sneak attack with open jaws, but they didn't know that his true thoughts were to lead it out and annihilate it in one fell swoop.

At this moment, a powerful voice sounded: "Liu Lan'er, such a clumsy plan, how dare you use it with me!" ”

"It's an open jaw!"

Xu Chu instantly heard the voice of the open jaw, and said in a low voice: "Lord, it seems that our plan has been discovered!"

"Hmm!"

Liu Lan, who had already guessed it, replied repeatedly: "Don't make a sound, let's see if he is deceiving me and waiting, or if he really sees something!" ”

"Liu Lan'er, do you know who made the whistle just now?"

In the distance, there was a proud sound of open jaw, although Liu Lan couldn't see where Zhang Jaw was, but from the direction from which the sound came, he could still judge that Zhang Jaw was far away from him, if he attacked rashly, it would inevitably outweigh the gains, and after dispelling the idea of taking the initiative in his heart, he continued to shout: "It's the spy you sent down next to me!" He was sent by me with a knife just now! The words couldn't hide the smugness.

Liu Lan was silent, feeling very uncomfortable, he could avoid such a mistake, but he wanted to get rid of the blind spot that the open jaw made him appear, and he hit the ground with a heavy punch, regretting it very much. Xu Shu on the side cheered up and comforted him: "The lord can't open his jaw to provoke the law!" Said with some remorse: "I knew this was the case, and I should have spoken to the lord that day!" ”

"Yuan Zhi doesn't need to blame himself, fortunately, there is no loss in this battle, we should rectify our morale and fight to the death with Zhang Jaw tomorrow!"

Liu Lan said this, patted Xu Shu on the shoulder and said, "Yuan Zhi, I believe that next time it will be you or me." It will definitely be better!! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Early the next morning, Liu Lan, who had just fallen asleep, was hurriedly woken up by Xu Chu. Rubbing his unusually sore temples, I was about to complain. I heard him say: "Lord, open your jaw has set up a camp in front of us, blocking the way of our army!" ”

It's okay not to say it, as soon as Xu Chu said this, Liu Lan's nameless fire in his heart suddenly found a venting point: "Lao Tzu is still afraid that he will run away, and I don't want to run to my mouth, just right, today I will take the 3,000 people sacrifice flag with Zhang Jaw first!" At this time, Liu Lan had a crooked fire in his heart, and it was rare to burst into foul language.

"My lord. Zhang Jaw is not just 3,000 people, before waiting and seeing, to say the least, it will be more than 10,000! Xu Chu told Liu Lan about the scene he had seen before.

Liu Lanhuo stood up, he woke up completely, and said in disbelief: "Over 10,000? He glared at Xu Chu and said, "His soldiers were conjured out of thin air?" Liu Lan, who used to treat open jaws as fish, suddenly wilted after hearing that the other party's strength was equal to his own.

Xu Chu stood aside, not seeing Liu Lan's face change in an instant, but just thinking about it carefully. said: "It must be the commander of Longcao County, this thief was the head of the head of the Xiang Shang to guarantee that Zhang Jaw only led the headquarters of 3,000 people!" ”

Thinking of what the county order said that day, Xu Chu snorted coldly and said, "And at this time, Yuan Shao has no possibility of reinforcements!" So open jaw ......"

"So when Zhang Jaw went to Longcuo, he also led the people at this time. It's not the 3,000 people we know, and what the Longcuao County Decree says convinces us that there are only 3,000 people with open jaws! ”

Liu Lan snorted, caught Xu Chu's words and sneered: "Since he dares to appear." Then we'll have a good time with him! "But in my heart, I have been playing with me in the palm of my hand, and I finally have the opportunity to meet you head-on! After saying that, I hurriedly dressed and washed. After everything was in order, the two of them stepped out of the account.

Out of the books. Everyone has been waiting for a long time, fortunately, the weather in Jizhou has become warmer in these days, although there is occasionally a howling wind, but it is not too cold, compared with usual, such weather in December is still extremely rare, and the group did not gather the army, but Liu Lan took the guards out of the camp, although these soldiers are Liu Lan's personal guards, but they are all the Fuzhong family Ding presented by Zhen Yu that day, and there is Zhen Yan on the side at this time, loyalty does not need to be considered.

Soon out of the gate, a group of people found a huge camp in the distance, and walked more than a mile, climbed the mountain and looked at the Jizhou soldiers and horses in the whole army lined up in the village.

There are camp fences arranged before and after the camp of the Yuan army, and the camp fence with the thickness of the wrist is about one zhang and two feet high, and in front of the camp fence, a three-foot-wide pit is dug, and the pit is widely equipped with antlers and ground spears, although this trench does not play a big role, but it can block the offensive footwork of Liu Lan's side, and this is what Yuan Jun wants to achieve.

Liu Lan looked down from a high position, and from the banner, it seemed that the main general on the opposite side was not Zhang Jaw, because the main flag was a big 'Yuan' character instead of Zhang Zi!

Everyone was full of confusion in their hearts, they had always believed that their opponent was just the Zhang Jaw who led the three thousand halberd warriors in the headquarters, and when they saw the banner of the main general, they knew that the opponent of this battle was not Zhang Jaw, but a general surnamed Yuan, everyone knew that this 'Yuan' general would naturally not be Yuan Shao, so the main general at this time was naturally Yuan Shao's son or other immediate family members, but everyone didn't know which one it was!

When Liu Lan guessed in his heart, Xu Shu had already come to his side and reminded: "Since the lord has found out the enemy's situation, please return to the village immediately, if it is discovered by Yuan Jun's sentinel, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses!" ”

Liu Lan didn't speak, just looked at Yuan Shaojun on the opposite side, and sneered: "The Yuan battalion master doesn't know how to use soldiers, and the camp is actually standing on the side of the river, if it's summer, it must be attacked with water!" Speaking of this, he felt a lot of regret in his heart, but he didn't know that it was not that Yuan Tan didn't know how to use soldiers, but that in the winter at this time, the river had already frozen, and he wanted to block Liu Lan's way, so he camped like this.

Xu Shu disagreed, and said: "Yuan Jun set up a village so much, in order to block our army's way, so it seems that Yuan Jun must be afraid of our army at this time, and will never fight with our army, and block the way forward of our army, but it is three birds with one stone, one to prevent our army from rescuing the old peace, so that Gao Lan, Cui Juye safely attacked the city, and the other is to force our army to be anxious and storm its village, so it is in the arms of the other army, and it will defend according to the village, and when our army has a slight flaw, it will give a fatal blow. The three are that our army sees that the situation is inviolable, and turns back to the main camp, which will follow behind, and wait for the war to subside, and then give our army a fatal blow after joining forces with Gao Ran and Cui Juye, so our army is in danger! ”

"Yuan Zhi is as I expected, but Yuan Jun's wishful thinking can't be played at all."

Speaking of this, Liu Lan turned over and said: "The open belt I saw when I came, and it is close to the water source, I will change the camp here when I go back, since Yuan Jun wants to delay, I will follow his wishes, hold with him here, wait for Zilong to break through Gaolan, Cui Juye, we will merge together, and then break the other army in one fell swoop!" ”

Tian Yu hurriedly stopped: "Isn't this move of Deran Gong hasty? The battlefield is changing, how can we be sure that General Zilong will win? If General Zilong is defeated by Gao Ran, won't our army be in danger, and even the lord (Gongsun Zhan) will be in danger at that time! ”

Impossible, the victorious general Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong will fail? This is simply a joke, Liu Lan thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it to everyone, after all, it was just his blind star-chasing thoughts.

Just as he was about to think of some countermeasures with everyone, he saw a ride running from afar, and when he got closer, Liu Lan recognized that it was the herald in the tent, only to see him come to his side and turn over and dismount, and hurriedly reported: "General Qiyu, General Zhao sent an urgent document, which broke tens of thousands of horses of the Yuan army in one fell swoop, and rushed to pursue and defeat the fleeing Yuan army for dozens of miles. ”

"Good, good, good, good!"

Liu Lan said four times in a row, except for the word 'good', he didn't know what other adjectives could describe his praise for Zhao Yun, as if only the word 'good' in the world could express his appreciation for Zhao Yun in his heart at this time.

After a long time, he smiled loudly and said, "Zhao Yun really didn't disappoint me, in this way, we can wait for Zilong with peace of mind, and then attack from both sides and defeat Yuan's army in one fell swoop!"

"Not necessarily!" A discordant voice sounded beside him, it was none other than Xu Shu, Liu Lanzhong chuckled, looked at him, and asked uncertainly: "Why did Yuan Zhi say this?" It's hard to ......"

"Lord, maybe I'm too cautious, but I think it's better to be cautious at this moment, the identity of the messenger still needs to be determined, if this person is a spy with Zhang Jaw, wouldn't it mean that Zhang Jaw stopped us in Julu County without a single soldier?" (To be continued.) )

PS: On the last day, I wish you all a Happy New Year!!
