"What? Liu Hao was killed? Who did it? Qiao Rui said angrily.

The sergeant hurriedly replied, "The little one doesn't know, and when the little one goes over to check, it's already a mess." ”

Qiao Rui turned to Bian Xi and asked, "What does General Bian think?" ”

Bian Xi frowned, and after a long time, he replied with some hesitation: "General Qiao, it seems that there is only one possibility, Liao Hua is not dead, he brought people to the mountain!" ”

"Liao Hua is not dead? How is this possible! Qiao Rui said in disbelief, but he saw Liao Hua roll down the cliff with his own eyes, and the cliff was bottomless.

Bian Xi nodded and said: "Not to mention the rugged mountain roads of Luohu Mountain, there are countless secret posts and organs everywhere, except for Liao Hua, no second person can do it, because those institutions and traps were arranged by Liao Hua that day." ”

After listening to Bian Xi's analysis, Qiao Rui could only believe this reason, and couldn't help but punch a few cases, hating: "Hate that Liaohua, hate that Liaohua!" ”

Bian Xi hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and said: "General, General Liu's death is still a trivial matter, all the grain and grass have been burned, and more than 20,000 people in Luohu Mountain have nothing to eat." ”

Qiao Rui raised his head abruptly and asked, "How much surplus grain is available now?" ”

"There are only three days to use."

"Three days!"

Hearing this answer, Qiao Rui was silent, the so-called army has no food, and the army's heart will be chaotic, and there will be no need to fight outside at all, and he will definitely be chaotic inside.

"General Bian, from today on, you will be my lieutenant general." Qiao Rui said suddenly, "The matter of finding food and asking for help in Runan will be handed over to General Bian." ”

Bian Xi's face twitched slightly, if he could be the deputy general of Shangqiao Rui, Bian Xi should be happy, but the next two tasks?

Not to mention going to Runan for help, the road is far away, and nothing may happen; Just talking about this food problem, it's really hard to die.

Now that Zhao Qian's tens of thousands of troops are stationed around Luohu Mountain, let him take his brothers to find food, which is basically no different from going to death.

Seeing that Bian Xi didn't respond, Qiao Rui snorted coldly and said, "What? General Bian doesn't look down on the post of deputy general? Or, General Ben will give you the position of the main general?! ”

When Bian Xi heard this, he was startled, and quickly responded: "The last general is too surprised to lose his temper, please forgive the general." ”

"Well, since that's the case, General Bian will do what I instructed, and in the future, Shouchun will definitely be indispensable!" Qiao Rui encouraged.

Bian Xi replied, but in his heart, he slandered, according to this situation, it is not certain whether he can get out of Luohu Mountain.

Seeing Bian Xi leave helplessly, Qiao Rui was also panicked in his heart, without food and grass, it was equivalent to having no confidence, which made him a little at a loss.

Qiao Rui himself is not a powerful general, before the bandits were supported by the rear, whether it was grain and grass, soldiers and horses, it was not a problem for him to consider, but now it is good, the problems are in front of him, and he suddenly has no idea.

At this time, in Zhao Qian's camp at the foot of Luohu Mountain, Zhang Fei and Liao Hua had just finished burning grain and grass.

After Zhao Qian heard this, he laughed and said, "Okay! couldn't help but burn the grain and grass, and beheaded Liu Hao, that Qiao Rui was really a bare-bones commander at this time. ”

"Big brother, if you don't directly let me Lao Zhang lead people up the mountain, with Yuan Jian leading the way, I will definitely be able to capture it." Zhang Fei said impatiently.

Zhao Qian listened, but smiled slightly, shook his head, and said lightly: "I'm not busy." ”

If he wanted to attack, Zhao Qian would have ordered it a long time ago, even if there was no Liao Hua, he still had the system radar as a guide.

Although it is impossible to find traps and traps, for a large number of people, it is a little troublesome and does not pose a threat.

The reason why there was no strong attack was that Zhao Qian didn't want to have additional losses, you must know that although he had time to attack Yuan Shu at this moment, it was also a gamble.

Yuan Shao hesitated, Cao Cao, Tao Qian, and Liu Bei were entangled in the forces, Liu Biao was afraid of being beaten by Zhao Qian, and he didn't dare to make any changes for the time being, and Liu Zhang was guarding in Yizhou, and others couldn't get in, and he couldn't fight it easily.

But once there is a change, if there is a big loss in this Yuan Shu campaign, then Zhao Qian will be tired of dealing with other princes, especially Yuan Shao.

Zhang Fei only thinks about the immediate victory, while Zhao Qian obviously thinks about the long term.

Xun You next to him looked at Zhao Qian and asked with a smile: "Isn't the lord trying to use the bridge as bait to lure the enemy?" ”

Zhao Qian laughed, pointed at Xun You and said, "It's still Gongda Zhiwu, or Gongda Zhiwu!" ”

Zhang Fei was a little confused, and Xu Chu and Tai Shici didn't know why, just looked at Zhao Qian and Xun You and laughed.

"Ziyi and Zhongkang sent someone to spread the news, saying that the Qiaorui army was besieged in Luohu Mountain and was in urgent need of rescue, and it was spread all over Runan." Zhao Qian commanded.

Zhang Fei asked a little puzzled: "Big brother, why don't you go directly to attack Runan after taking the Tiger Mountain?" ”

"It's called encirclement reinforcements!" Zhao Qian said with a smile.

Seeing that several people were puzzled, Xun You explained: "What the lord means is to release the news that Qiaorui is trapped, and wait for reinforcements to come to rescue. ”

"Will reinforcements come? If they can't shrink back, isn't this plan useless? Xu Chu asked.

Zhao Qian shook his head and said: "No, Qiao Rui is the general of Runan appointed by Yuan Shu, after being trapped, the Runan defenders will not come to the rescue, and Yang Feng's 20,000 soldiers and horses will definitely come." ”

"Why?" Tai Shi Ci asked.

"That Yang Feng went to Yuan Shu with the puppet emperor Liu Xie, and he has always been suspicious and excluded by the Yuan Shu group, if he learned that Qiao Rui was trapped at this time, and still did not rescue him, he must have confirmed this reason, and his life in the Yuan Shu group will be even more sad in the future, so he must come to the rescue, even faster than the reinforcements in Runan." Zhao Qian explained.

"The lord is wise!" Everyone hurriedly said.

Zhao Qian smiled and said nothing, this strategy is not a clever strategy, he knows that there are many flattering elements in everyone's words, and now that he is in a high position, it is inevitable that the people below will praise a few words.

"Alright, disperse all the sergeants and scouts of the Feixun Battalion, closely probe the news everywhere, and destroy all the enemy troops who come to reinforce them!" Zhao Qian said.

"Order!"

After the generals received the order, they began to send soldiers to spread the news, and at the same time dispatched men and horses to garrison key places, forming a situation of encircling horns, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from Qiaorui.

Glancing at Liao Hua, Zhao Qian smiled slightly and said: "Yuan Jian, I allocated 2,000 people to you to guard Luohu Mountain, but if there are escapees, I will drive them back, how about it?" ”

When Liao Hua heard this, he was a little excited, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Thank you for the trust of the general, the last general will definitely live up to his mission!" ”
