"Kong Ming, could it be that the state army is afraid and has already withdrawn?" Liu Bei asked.

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "What a proud person the Marquis of Jin is, how could he give up the land of Hanoi so easily, the lord should order the soldiers, carefully probe the news ahead, don't fall for the enemy's plan." ”

"The military advisor is wrong in his words, if you are replaced by a general of the state army, how can you defend the city when you learn that the army is coming?" Zhang Fei shouted dissatisfiedly, since Zhuge Liang joined the army, he has not made much contribution to the army, but Liu Bei is polite to such a young man.

"Yide must not be presumptuous." Liu Bei scolded, after talking to Zhuge Liang, he greatly admired Zhuge Liang's talent.

"Whether this is the case or not, the three generals will find out later." Zhuge Liang showed a faint smile again, and there was no unhappiness in his expression.

Even after Zhang Fei saw Zhuge Liang's actions, he had to admire Zhuge Liang's bearing, if he received such a wretched anger, he would definitely be furious.

Zhang Fei didn't like Zhuge Liang, mainly because he was embarrassed when he visited Zhuge Liang, and he was sure that Zhuge Liang did it on purpose at that time.

"In this way, I'll wait and see." Zhang Fei said with a smile.

Xu Huang did not leave Hanoi, but lingered in Wen County, he wanted to take the last opportunity to send the potatoes to the army, so as not to let these potatoes fall into the hands of the enemy.

"General, the Jingzhou army claims to have an army of 100,000 and is coming in the direction of Wen County, and the vanguard of the army is Liu Bei." A general ran over panting and said.

"Hmph, Liu Bei, it's just a lost dog's ear, the lord helped him resist the enemy army, but I didn't expect Liu Bei to be such an ungrateful person, and he actually led a large army to attack the lord under the rule, if you see it, you will kill it." Xu Huang said coldly, he hated a character like Liu Bei the most.

"The general's words are very true, since Liu Bei is so rampant, our army might as well set up an ambush on the way and teach him a lesson." Several generals said babblingly.

"Li Meng, the potatoes have almost been harvested, and you lead five hundred soldiers to transport all these potatoes to Huguan." Xu Huang said.

"General, I want to stay and kill the enemy." Li Meng said with a crying face.

"You dare to disobey even General Ben's orders?" Xu Huang's face suddenly fell.

Li Meng hurriedly said: "The subordinates receive the order." "Xu Huang governs the army very strictly, but he treats the generals in the army well in private, and he is deeply loved by the generals in the army.

The Jingzhou army wants to enter Wenxian, Qingfeng Ridge is a necessary place, although the terrain of Qingfeng Ridge is not dangerous, but it is also a good ambush location, Xu Huang focused his eyes on the vicinity of Qingfeng Ridge on the topographic map, the vanguard army of Jingzhou Army only has 3,000 people, and at this time Xu Huang has 3,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are escorting supplies to Huguan one after another.

With 3,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, Xu Huang was confident that he would defeat the vanguard army of the Jingzhou army, and defeat the vanguard army of the Jingzhou army, which could improve the morale of the army to a certain extent.

Liu Bei was still a little deficient in the face of Cao Cao, not to mention the more powerful Bingzhou army, and Liu Bei definitely didn't expect that at such a time, the Bingzhou army would dare to set up an ambush in Qingfeng Ridge.

There are three villages near Qingfengling, and although some people have gone to Hedong in a big way, many people still choose to stay.

After Liu Bei led the army to Hanoi without danger, he also relaxed his vigilance, and the villages he passed along the way, even if they were populated, were very defensive for the Jingzhou army, and the scouts explored the surrounding area, but they did not find any trace of the Bingzhou army.

"What else the military division said about the state army will set up an ambush in Hanoi, it's just nonsense, where did the state army come from in Hanoi now." Zhang Fei shouted at the top of his voice.

And Zhuge Liang got the news of the scout's investigation, but the corners of his mouth showed a faint smile, judging from the news obtained by the scout before, there must have been a merger of state army activities in Wen County, but now these merger state armies have suddenly disappeared, he doesn't think that the merge state army is afraid of the Jingzhou army.

The combat power of the Bingzhou army is strong in the eyes of the princes, and the Bingzhou army is also extremely confident, it is impossible to retreat, it is said that the scouts of the Bingzhou army must have already received the news of the Jingzhou army's entry into Hanoi, it is impossible to be indifferent, the most important thing is that the vanguard army of the Jingzhou army is only 3,000 people, Xu Huang, as the fierce general of the Bingzhou army, will definitely not let go of such an opportunity.

And this place is only thirty miles away from Wen County, and the only place where the state army can set up an ambush is Qingfeng Ridge, Zhuge Liang secretly raised his vigilance.

Although the soldiers in Liu Bei's army are elite, it is not easy to join the state army, and if you fight head-on, it is very likely that it is Liu Bei's army that will be defeated.

"Lord, let the army continue to move forward and closely probe the news in the surrounding area, especially Qingfeng Ridge." Zhuge Liang said that this was his first battle after joining Liu Bei's army, and it was also an important opportunity to enhance his status in the army.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are Liu Bei's sworn brothers, and they have a high prestige in the army, if they want to really enter the core of Liu Bei's command, they must be convinced, otherwise even if Liu Bei trusts them, it will be difficult to exert their fists and feet in the army.

When he was only ten miles away from Qingfeng Ridge, Zhuge Liang lowered his voice and said, "My lord, you can secretly send General Guan and General Zhang to lead five hundred soldiers and horses each, and quietly rush to the mountains on the left and right sides of Qingfeng Ridge to kill the enemy army. ”

Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang, who was full of confidence, and said suspiciously: "What does Kong Ming mean, and the state army set up an ambush in Qingfeng Ridge?" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded.

"But judging from the news from the scouts, everything is normal in Qingfeng Ridge, and the terrain of Qingfeng Ridge is not dangerous, and the state army will set up an ambush here?" Liu Bei asked.

Zhuge Liang showed a confident smile, "Lord, if you are the chief general of the Bingzhou Army, what will you do in the face of the three thousand Jingzhou vanguard army?" ”

Liu Bei thought for a moment and said, "Naturally, I will go forward." ”

After speaking, Liu Bei understood Zhuge Liang's intentions, and the news he got from Hanoi made Liu Bei temporarily relax his vigilance, thinking that it was very likely that the Bingzhou army would retreat from Hanoi, leaving only a small number of soldiers and horses.

"Strategist, what do you mean by letting me go to Qingfeng Ridge?" Zhang Fei hurried over with a loud voice.

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "General Zhang will know as soon as he goes, but he just wants to let his soldiers be careful, there are fierce beasts on the mountain." ”

"Beasts?" Zhang Fei laughed and said: "What I am not afraid of the most is the fierce beast, how many are killed. ”
