Chapter 106: Waiting for the Rabbit
At night, everyone left, Liu Feng firmly believed that with Wei Yan's bravery and Pang Tong's strategy, the number of troops was also more than the defenders of Nanjun, and there was no problem in capturing Nanjun against the backdrop of this night.
At this time, only Liu Feng and Gan Ning were left in Huarong County with eight hundred elite soldiers waiting here, Liu Feng ordered his sergeants to fill their stomachs at night, so that they could rest and prepare for the next day's meeting if necessary, then they would attack Cao Cao's remnants back and forth, Liu Feng knew that after the division of troops, he was actually under a lot of pressure, once the best plan in his heart did not succeed, even if he repelled the remnants of Cao Cao, if he could not drive it to the west of Nanjun to Yiling, then most of the Nanjun he occupied before would be in vain, so a long-distance attack was inevitable.
After the order was completed, Liu Feng summoned Gan Ning to the front again, and discussed tomorrow's strategy with him, with such a fierce general as Gan Ning, intercepting Cao Cao gave Liu Feng a lot of choices, when he made a plan before, he already had a plan in his heart, but this matter should not be said in front of everyone.
"Tomorrow, I will lead my three hundred soldiers to set up an ambush in the path, I see that there are not many hiding places in the path, can not accommodate these many horses, General Xingba led another five hundred soldiers to set up an ambush at the intersection, then listen to my orders, if Cao Cao is strong, then at the intersection to kill it for a while, if I don't teach General Xingba to send troops, there is no need to send troops, just let Cao Cao pass!"
Gan Ning is obviously a little puzzled by Liu Feng's words, according to the previous Pang Tong's words, even if Cao Cao cannot be captured this time, it is also a good thing to take this opportunity to kill several of his generals, no matter what the situation, there should be no idea of letting Cao Cao pass, so Gan Ning listened, and his face was full of incomprehension.
Liu Feng saw that Gan Ning seemed to be a little disagreeable with what he said, so he sighed slightly and explained in a low voice: "In today's troubled times, regardless of the territory of the city, the fierce generals and elite soldiers are all chips, Cao Cao's hands have a lot of chips, and in his hands, there are very few chips, if Cao Cao is under the coercion of Feng, he can divide some of the chips in his hand with Feng, as a transaction, and let it pass......"
Liu Feng's words, Gan Ning seemed to understand, but listening to Liu Feng's words, he also wanted to hold Cao Cao's sore spot to blackmail, and his heart settled down, and he nodded his head to receive the order, and after making a plan, the two took advantage of the night to visit the Huarong trail, and only after making sure that Liu Feng led three hundred men and horses to ambush on the way and there was no problem, they returned to Huarong County to rest.
At dawn the next day, Liu Feng and Gan Ning had just woken up, and they had to report that someone had come to report, Liu Feng saw that it was Pang Tong and Wei Yan who sent scouts, and said that in the middle of the night yesterday, Pang Tong and Wei Yan sent people to pretend to be Cao Cao's messengers to deceive the Jiangling City Gate, and then killed all the Nanjun Taishou and his party.
Most of the officers and soldiers in Nanjun were the former sergeants of Jingzhou, Pang Tong played the name of Liu Bei, hundreds of people all surrendered to Pang Tong, and no one went out of the city, the news has not yet leaked, and the land of Jiangling and Nanjun was owned by Liu Feng, Pang Tong ordered the messenger to tell Liu Feng that Cao Cao must be careful in ambushing Cao Cao, and retreat into Jiangling once nothing can be done.
Liu Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, even though he was full of confidence in Pang Tong and Wei Yan before, but before he succeeded, Liu Feng was always a little worried in his heart, and now that Jiangling and the counties of Nanjun have fallen into the hands of Pang Tong, Liu Feng has just made up his mind in his heart. He immediately wrote a letter to the scout and brought to Pang Tong, instructing him to quickly pocket all the counties under Nanjun, so as to prevent him from attacking Cao Cao when his army passed by.
Nanjun has been obtained, with the rear, Liu Feng has strengthened his determination to restrain Cao Cao, according to Liu Bei before, because the bad situation in Huarong Road is very bad, let Liu Feng wait in Huarong County, once the battle in front of the war, will send someone to inform Liu Feng, then Liu Feng will enter Huarong Road to set up an ambush, so after the dawn Liu Feng did not let the army act rashly, just a full meal, and then ready to go.
After noon, finally, a hurried sound of horses' hooves came, and the people sent by Liu Bei arrived.
As soon as the man saw Liu Feng, he fell to the ground, and said hurriedly: "Last night, Cao Cao attacked with all his strength in Chibi, intending to annihilate my Sun Liu coalition army in one fell swoop, but Zhou Yu and Zhuge military division had already seen through Cao Cao's strategy, and burned all Cao Cao's warships with fire attack by taking advantage of last night's strong wind. Zhou Yu and Zhuge Junshi have already planted layers of ambushes along the way, and the Lord sent me to inform General Ziwei that if Cao Cao can escape here, it is close to night, and General Ziwei must not be greedy for merit, just drive Cao Cao to the north as much as possible! ”
"Did my father tell me what to do after this ambush?"
"The general is only temporarily resting in the neighboring counties, in case the army under Cao Cao comes back, just wait for the order of the lord!"
Liu Feng understood Liu Bei's intentions in his heart, so he sent that person to report back to Liu Bei. Then, Liu Feng and Gan Ning put on their horses, ordered 800 soldiers, and rushed all the way to Huarong Road to set up an ambush.
Because Liu Feng and Gan Ning had already explored all kinds of difficulties and dangers on Huarong Road, they walked slowly and bypassed the strange rocks and mud swamps in the road, and there were no casualties.
The sergeant took this Huarong trail, and everyone under Liu Feng's command had a lot of knowledge of the difficulties, and sent Gan Ning to the end of the trail, and settled down to lead five hundred people to ambush it, and then told Gan Ning in his ear for a while, until Gan Ning nodded yes, Liu Feng led three hundred soldiers back to a boulder in Huarong Road, and all the soldiers were placed behind the boulder, waiting for Cao Cao to come.
This wait, Liu Feng is waiting for three hours, because the two of them are concerned, and this is a small road, Liu Feng is not very eager, the more Cao Cao comes here at night, the more he thinks that the loss of his sergeants in this Huarong Road will be.
Liu Feng's abacus, obviously did not start, and less than half an hour later, the sky has not yet darkened, Liu Feng's scout came to report quickly, Cao Cao led about two or three thousand people, hurriedly rushed to Huarong Road, the scout watched from a distance, and saw many generals in front of him, one in the middle was about fifty years old, most of them were Cao Cao!
"Good time!" Liu Feng shouted, and ordered his three hundred soldiers to wait, these three hundred people were Liu Feng's initial gains, after Wei Yan and Li Chuang's daily training for several months, the combat power is not what it used to be, and they all held their breath at the moment, and for a while there was no sound in this Huarong path, only the sound of birds chirping in the mountains.
