The hill was not far away, and Cao Jun retreated to the slope under the response of the soldiers on the hill, and Pang Zheng and others blocked the road up the mountain with an unloading carriage. The hills are not high, there is a lot of soil and little rocks, there are thorns and trees everywhere, and the rest of the place is not flat, there are small cliffs in the soil, and the road up the hills, especially not many suitable for cavalry.

Xu Chubu retreated under Pang Zheng's answer, and the road from the battlefield to the hills was less than three miles, but nearly a hundred corpses were left behind.

Bows and arrows were fired one after another on the mountain, and Liu Tong saw that the hill was not easy to ride a horse up, so he had to order the troops to retreat and leave the range of bows and arrows.

At this time, Liu Tong saw that the ugly-looking scribe was directing people to cut down trees and arrange horse stakes, and at the same time, Liu Tong saw a beacon fire burning at the highest point of the hill!

Obviously, Cao Jun is asking for help, and the person who saw him off should not go far, and he will come back to rescue him when he sees it. Liu Tong was not worried about the more than 1,000 people, and even laughed at the opponent's actions. Because Zhang Liao and Tai Shici's troops should be not far away, one is to prevent Sun Quan from playing tricks when he retreats, and the other is to prepare to choose a location in Jiangbei to deploy defenses.

This wolf smoke may not be able to recruit the team to see them off, and most of them will recruit Zhang Liao and Tai Shici. Because Jingzhou's troops were going west, with their backs to the wolf, while Zhang Liao was facing this side, and there were their scouts everywhere nearby.

In fact, what Liu Tong didn't know was that the opponent wanted to summon the main troops of Sun Quan in Luzhou City with wolf smoke. Because they came all the way from Yizhou, and from the news they got earlier, they not only thought that Luzhou was in the hands of Sun Quan, but even Shouchun and other southern cities in Yuzhou were under Sun Quan's control. Liu Tong, who met by chance, should be a scout force deep behind the enemy, as long as he holds on for a while, at most an hour or two, the Jingzhou soldiers or Luzhou rescuers who saw him off will arrive.

Both sides had their own thoughts, Cao Jun was afraid of Liu Tong's urgent attack, and Liu Tong was afraid that Cao Jun's dog would jump off the wall in a hurry, so both sides set up their own formations and were not in a hurry to fight. The mountain is in full swing with various obstacles and rattan shields for defense bows and crossbows. At the foot of the mountain, Liu Tong arranged for people to check the terrain around the hills, and sent people to watch the places that were conducive to going down the mountain, and also sent fast horses to inform Zhang Liao to go, and by the way, bring some food, Liu Tong specially explained.

Liu Tong thought about it, and felt that it was necessary to take down the people in the carriage, Cao Ang had commented on Liu Kuan before, in his opinion, Liu Kuan seemed to have replaced Cao Cao's territory and status in the original history, and the fact also had a little taste.

The strategy of Yizhou and Jiangdong forming an alliance to jointly defend against the north should be maintained for a long time. Then, the person or thing in the carriage is the messenger and gift of the alliance. In any case, they still have to break their alliance, and if they can't be broken, it's not bad to add some blockage to them.

What made Cao Jun happy was that the Jingzhou Army saw the wolf smoke, however, what made Cao Jun tragic was that the Jingzhou Army chose to ignore it!

Based on the relationship between Liu Biao and Cao Cao, the Jingzhou army safely escorted Cao's army out of Jingzhou, and even sent it not far from Luzhou. As for the battles near Luzhou and Shouchun, it has nothing to do with them.

Liu Biao has done everything for Cao Cao, and he has done it well, but Liu Biao's promise not to participate in the battle for Yuzhou must be complied with.

In fact, the Luzhou reinforcements that Cao Jun insisted on did not exist at all! They are in a difficult situation. Originally, they broke through in time and had a little hope of running back to Jingzhou, but the blockage of the news made them choose an extremely wrong path.

His own reinforcements did not come, Liu Tong did not dare to relax, he scattered the cavalry slightly, in order to be relaxed, if the opponent broke through nearby, the team could be quickly closed, and if the other party chose to go down the mountain from other places, he could quickly chase over.

As the sun sets, the afterglow shines brightly on the treetops and scattered weapons. The occasional horse chirping brings out a tranquility even more.

"Master Hou, look!"

Chen Zhi brought two wagons with some grain and cooking utensils piled on them, although they were not much, but they were also happy. Because Liu Tong came out without bringing military rations at all. These things should have been discarded by Cao Jun in a panic.

"Arrange for someone to cook!" Liu Tong commanded.

After Chen Zhi saw that Liu Tong finished speaking, he continued to look up the mountain, and reminded: "Master Hou, this should be Cao Jun's military food, they are about to arrive in Luzhou, and they don't need much food, this should be their only food." ”

Liu Tong's eyes lit up, yes, they rushed up the mountain in a hurry, dropped the grain, as long as they were besieged for two days, they would all become soft-legged shrimp, the key is that there is no water source in such a mound. Two days, two days at most!

When it was almost dark, Tai Shi Ci arrived with 5,000 cavalry, Liu Tong suddenly relaxed, asked his cavalry to dismount and eat first, and handed over the task of preventing Cao's army from going down the mountain to Tai Shi Ci.

"Childe, there are few people on the other side, and we are ten times as many as him, just attack by force!" Tai Shici sat next to Liu Tong and took a roast leg of lamb handed over by Liu Tong.

Liu Tong kicked Wu Ji, who was eating a large piece of food next to him, "Idiot, take your leg of mutton, call them upstairs to class, and bring dozens of brothers to eat at the entrance of the mountain, and go to gluttony Cao Jun!" ”

When Wu Ji heard this, he laughed, "Order, Master Hou, see that I don't kill them." With that, he jumped up and beckoned the distant Lou Ban to go.

Liu Tong saw that the red carp was holding a piece of pancake and chewing slowly, and said, "Red carp, it's delicious to tear off the mutton and wrap it in the pancake." ”

The red carp smiled and did not move. Liu informed that she didn't want to tear the mutton with her hands, so she reached out and grabbed the pancake from her hand, tore the mutton with both hands, and put it in.

Liu Tong turned his head and said to Tai Shici while making it: "Sun Quan is gone, we have nothing to do, just boil up these people on the mountain!" Besides, our cavalry is very expensive, and there will inevitably be a lot of losses when attacking the hills, so why make such a senseless sacrifice, they have nothing to eat or drink on the hills, and they will surrender tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. ”

Tai Shici had seen Liu Tong's ability and insight many years ago, and he also thought that it was true, anyway, there was no threat in the surrounding area, and dealing with these people in the mountains was regarded as leisure hunting.

At this time, Wu Jigong's duck-like voice came from under the hill, "Brother Cao Jun, come down and eat roast lamb shank, it's greasy and crispy!" After speaking, there was the sound of smashing his mouth.

With Wu Ji's demonstration, others followed suit and shouted in a mess, some smashed their mouths, some threw bones into the mountain, and some described the deliciousness of mutton......

The people on the mountain had been walking for a long time, fighting and confronting each other for a long time, and they were already hungry, and they were all swallowing the saliva that was gradually increasing, echoing a lot of gurgling sounds from their stomachs, and this small sound was contrasted by the shouting at the bottom of the mountain.

Xu Chu jumped like thunder, and wanted people to shoot arrows down the mountain, but was stopped by the ugly scribe, "Don't waste arrows, and don't provoke them to attack overnight." The Jiangdong Army in Luzhou will come over sooner or later! ”

Xu Chu had no choice but to vent his anger at a big tree, while the other soldiers were even more depressed.

Because of the report of the people sent by Liu Tong, Tai Shici not only brought meat and water, but also brought a lot of things to camp in. Liu Tong saw that his big tent had been completed, so he took the red carp in to rest. Let Tai Shi Ci arrange for rotation on duty and defense, Tai Shi Ci must be more experienced than himself in this regard.

Liu Tong saw the red carp moving his bed to the other side of the tent and said, "Red carp, come here, the quilt is warmer." The red carp didn't say a word, laid out the quilt, and lay down on its own.

Liu Tong felt that the red carp had grown up a lot now, and he didn't treat her as well as before, so he lay down boringly. thought to himself, it's okay, otherwise if he can't restrain himself, it won't be good, Liu Kuan has to kill himself.

Liu informed that Liu Kuan's request to Liu Tong was that he was only twenty and did not want to marry a daughter-in-law.

Liu Tong woke up the next day, under the service of the red carp, finished washing, came to the bottom of the hill, and saw Wu Ji and Lou Ban with a group of people squatting where to drink corn porridge, still last night's pie, and his mouth was very loud.

"Don't smack your mouth, I see your black lips are red!" After Liu Tong finished speaking, when he saw Wu Ji's appearance, he thought in his heart, why is this kid getting fatter and fatter the longer he grows, and the darker he gets!

Just as Wu Ji was smirking, the building squad behind him pushed him, Wu Ji turned around to look, only to see an officer coming down from the mountain, shouting at this side.

"Please let me know, our young lady wants to meet her sister Luo Hongli, please Miss Luo come and meet!"

When Liu Tong heard this, he was very surprised, how could the other party ask to see the red carp? Is the young lady on the mountain from Cao Jun's camp or Sun Quan's camp? In the Cao Jun camp, the only people in the red carp should know are Cao Xian and Cao Jie's sisters, and in Jiangdong, Liu Tong doesn't know, after all, the red carp and Sun Quan have been in for a long time.

Liu Tong was curious, and hurriedly ordered someone to call the red carp.
