Chapter 206: Counting is Counting

Xiahoudun shook his head and disagreed with Yu Ban's statement: "Although the Jingzhou army is small, Guan Yu is in charge, and you know how powerful he is, who can resist him head-on?" Several other people are also powerful, but their reputation is not obvious, do we have a chance of winning? ā€

Seeing that Li Dian's office was too difficult to speak, Xiahoudun set his eyes on Li Dian, for this scheming general, Xiahoudun still valued his opinion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"What does Mancheng think?"

Li Dian hugged his fists: "Guan Yu is already mighty, and several other people should not be underestimated, and now Liu Yong is here in person, although there are many people on our side, we can't fight hard." But Liu Yong's presence is also good news, if Liu Yong can be captured alive or injured by him, it will inevitably be able to make the Jingzhou army withdraw. ā€

As soon as Xiahoudun and Yu Ban heard that there was a play, their eyes lit up at the same time and immediately asked, "What should I do?" ā€

"There is a plan, maybe it works, tonight, order 10,000 horses to secretly go out of the camp and retreat fifty miles, and then find a sergeant similar to Xu Zhongkang to pretend to be him, lead the army into the camp with great fanfare, and spread the news at the same time, the Jingzhou army should withdraw its troops, and we can chase and kill it immediately!" Li Dian slowly said his plan, which immediately made the two of them laugh.

Xiahoudun was overjoyed: "Li Man's achievements are both wise and brave, and it is really a clever plan, so do it!" ā€

The next day, the news that Xu Chu led 10,000 horses to assist was immediately reported to Liu Yong here, Liu Yong sighed in his heart, there was no Xu Chu in the battle of Bowangpo in history, wasn't Xu Chu following Cao Cao to fight in Hebei, and he was sent so soon?

Liu Yong didn't know whether it was Cao Jun's strategy or his own butterfly effect, which caused historical changes, and immediately ordered someone to explore the Cao Jun camp in Kunyang to confirm whether Xu Chu really came.

In fact, Liu Yong and the others are not afraid that the Cao army will have more than 10,000 horses, but they are mainly afraid of Xu Chu, with his martial arts, Guan Yu can resist head-on, but he will miss Xiahoudun because of this, once no one can resist head-on, he will inevitably be disrupted by the army formation, so he will be defeated. Therefore, it is crucial to find out whether Xu Chu has arrived.

In the evening, the scout came back to report: "Report to the lord, Cao Jun is heavily defended in Kunyang, and it is really impossible to enter the city, I waited outside the city to observe carefully, and for a whole day, I only saw Xiahoudun, Yu Ban, and Li Dian go to the city to inspect, but they were seen Xu Chu. In addition, he once privately spoke to a sergeant of the Cao army, who said that there were indeed 10,000 horses coming, but it was the men and horses who went out on a mission the night before, and he did not see Xu Chu coming. ā€

Liu Yong understood as soon as he heard it, and it was indeed a ploy of Cao Jun. Immediately, Xu Shu naturally guessed the truth, and the two looked at each other and smiled. After rewarding the scouts, Liu Yong immediately began to arrange an army with Xu Shu.

Xu Shu hugged his fists and said: "Lord, since Cao Jun has a plan, I might as well plan it!" ā€

"Where's the plan?" Liu Yong naturally thought that Xu Shuxiang wanted to burn Cao Jun with fire in Bowangpo, but he didn't want to say it, so he verified whether it was the same as history.

"My lord, you might as well imagine that if Xu Chu comes, can anyone in our army resist these Cao army generals head-on?" Xu Shu asked.

Liu Yong thought about it very cooperatively and said: "No, Yun Chang can block one of Xiahoudun and Xu Chu, and the two outsiders will naturally have no one to resist Zhu, our army will definitely be defeated!" ā€

Liu Yong felt that his acting skills were really good, and he was very immodest and gave himself an evaluation in his heart: "Even if you are not as good as an actor, you can be regarded as an excellent professional actor." ā€

Xu Shu nodded and said: "What the lord said is good, if Xu Chu arrives in person, we will definitely give up Yexian immediately and retreat to Xinye." Therefore, we will burn down the camp tonight and retreat to Xinye overnight. The scouts of the Cao army must be paying attention to our actions at all times, and the Cao army will inevitably arrive soon. Then we have to give up some baggage from time to time along the way, so that the Cao army thinks that we are withdrawing our troops out of fear, and lure them to chase after them, and then we can find a place to ambush them, and we will surely win a great victory. ā€

A group of people were aroused by Liu Yong and Xu Shu's words to win, and their eyes flashed with essence. Guan Yu opened his mouth and asked, "Then where does the military advisor think is suitable for an ambush?" ā€

"On the way back to Xinye, there is a place that is most suitable for ambushes, called Bowangpo. Set up an ambush here, as long as Cao Jun enters the trap and puts a fire on the weak, there will be nowhere to hide. Xu Shu stroked his short beard, looking confident.

Liu Yong saw that it was really the same as in history, Xu Shu wanted to make a contribution with fire, and immediately gave full support: "Since this is the case, please ask the military division to deploy people and horses!" ā€

Xu Shu was flattered and hurriedly resigned, but at Liu Yong's insistence, he had to temporarily take over the command.

"The generals listened to the order: Yin Li, order you to lead your headquarters to set up an ambush in a ravine on the west side of Bowangpo, where there is a stream, which will not be burned by fire, and when Cao's army is defeated, you can kill it in time!

Wu Dun, ambush troops in the southeast valley of Po, and after all the soldiers and horses of Cao soldiers passed, they immediately set fire! Yun Chang, led Zhou Cang and his men and horses to wait at the south exit of Bowangpo, and after the fire started, he immediately killed and rushed straight to Cao's army! ā€

Seeing that Xu Shu had made proper arrangements, the generals immediately received orders to go to arrange matters.

Liu Yong suddenly opened his mouth to stop everyone: "I think it is better to secretly ambush an army outside the northern exit of Bowangpo!" ā€

It's not that Liu Yong wants to show a hand, but he remembers very clearly that during the battle of Bowangpo, Xiahoudun and Yu Ban were gullible and rash, and suffered heavy losses in Xu Shu's fire attack, but Li Dian did not enter the ambush with them, so it was well preserved, and in the end, if Li Dian hadn't come out to respond, Xiahoudun might have died. Liu Yong led to see if he could kill one of Cao Cao's right-hand men.

"It's not impossible, but it's easy for Cao Jun to find out and startle the snake. Therefore, it is necessary to be familiar with the mountains and forests. Xu Shu thought about Liu Yong's suggestion, which is indeed good, but it still needs to be cautious.

Liu Yong smiled: "Isn't Zhou Yuanfu suitable?" ā€

Since Liu Yong became an official and has an official identity, the left and right people are no longer mentioning the previous thief background, as soon as Liu Yong said it, everyone naturally remembered it.

In the end, Zhou Cang selected 3,000 people who were good at climbing in the mountains and forests to hide outside the north entrance of Bowangpo.

Liu Yong also had an idea, that is, he needed to be more high-profile, so that Cao Jun could know where he was at a glance, and use himself as bait to lure Cao Jun to come and arrest him. But this idea was collectively rejected by everyone. No one dared to let Liu Yong, a weak lord, take risks, they would rather lose this time than be defeated, and the loyal support of everyone made Liu Yong proud, but at the same time depressed.

Liu Yong felt that he had been kidnapped by the position of the lord.
