Chapter 104: Ambush

Meng Yao and Sun Shangxiang both knew that Liu Feng had returned this time, and his ambition was not small, and he had Pang Tong and Gan Ning, it was when he was full of ambition, the whole territory of Jingzhou was very large, and Liu Bei was quite short of soldiers in his hands at this time, and gave Liu Feng 3,000 men and horses, once Liu Feng was able to intercept and kill Cao Cao in Huarong Road, and then entered Nanjun to hold on to Cao Cao's defenders, it would become a dead end, and Liu Bei would definitely not be able to transfer Liu Feng to other places for a while.

Two days later, in the early morning, Liu Feng had already finished dressing, because the way to Huarong was much longer than the place where Guan Yu and Zhang Fei set up ambushes, so Liu Feng specially asked Liu Bei to set off one day earlier, and Liu Bei naturally agreed.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Bei was bidding farewell to Liu Feng in the camp, seeing that Sun Shangxiang was also wearing a military uniform and riding a horse in the army, Liu Bei only said that the two were newly married Yan'er, and it was a little difficult to part with them for a while, so Liu Feng took Sun Shangxiang with him in the army, and Liu Bei had heard the people next to him say that Sun Shangxiang was quite good at martial arts when he was in Jiangdong, so he didn't care much about this situation.

"Ziwei went this time, there is still a lot of gap between the army and Cao Cao, if Cao Cao has passed through the ambush of Yunchang and Yide before, most of them will be sleepy and lacking by the time they arrive in Huarong, and they will not have the strength to fight again, so Ziwei can take the opportunity to intercept and kill, just drive it to the north, but not chase too deep, and then find a critical place to set up camp, and wait for our general's order."

Because Zhuge Liang had already made it clear to Liu Bei in his previous strategy, it was almost impossible to set up an ambush to capture Cao Cao this time, so as long as the defense line of Cao Cao's army was compressed to the north as much as possible, the whole territory of Jingzhou was very wide, and Cao manipulated hundreds of thousands of troops, once the troops were dispersed, they would eventually be broken by Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and when it came to the harvest, it was a good opportunity for the two families to seize the land of Jingzhou.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang chose these three ambush places, all in the west of Jingzhou, once he succeeded, he could take the opportunity to advance, first pocket several counties in the west of Jingzhou, once Sun Quan's war was unfavorable, and then take the opportunity to march eastward, in the name of assisting Sun Quan's army and seize the rest of the territory.

Liu Feng also knew Zhuge Liang's plan, and what he wanted in his heart was to take advantage of Zhuge Liang's failure to return from Zhou Yu's place, first snatch the ambush of Huarong in his hands, and force Cao Cao's army to retreat to the north of Nanjun, and then make plans.

"Although my father can rest assured, Feng will use these more than 3,000 elite soldiers to kill the remnants of Cao Cao out of Jingzhou!" Liu Feng held his head high at this time, and assured Liu Bei loudly with his fists.

For Liu Feng to lead the troops to fight, Liu Bei was already quite relieved at this time, and arranged Liu Feng here, Liu Bei also had a trace of fantasy in his heart, because Liu Feng had become a murderer in Cao Cao's army, so once Cao Cao was intercepted and killed by Guan Zhang and the two met Liu Feng again, the generals would definitely panic, in this case, Liu Feng still had a chance to capture Cao Cao, once Liu Feng captured Cao Cao, then Liu Bei's name would shock the world, and then capture Jingzhou, it will definitely be much easier than this time.

With Liu Feng's order, an army of more than 3,000 people set off from Fankou and went to Huarong to set up an ambush, at this time, Gan Ning and Pang Tong and others were hidden in the army under Liu Feng's secret arrangement and did not show up, Liu Bei saw that Liu Feng did not attach much importance to it, and still took Wei Yan and Li Chuang as deputy generals, and did not put the two in his heart for a while.

When the army was far away from Fankou, Liu Feng invited Pang Tong and Gan Ning to come forward, what Liu Feng's move meant, both of them knew it, and when they were recruited, Liu Feng had already explained to the two that this time they came to Fankou to serve one of them, not Liu Bei.

Gan Ning and Pang Tong are both people of good character, since Liu Feng has been treating each other politely these days, and he has personally discussed everything with the two, it is impossible for the two of them to be dissatisfied just because Liu Feng hid him in front of Liu Bei.

"If it is according to my father's words, our main task is to compress Cao Cao's defense line in Jingzhou to the north, in order to defeat Cao Cao as soon as possible in the later stage and capture the land of Jingzhou, but the nine counties of Jingxiang are vast, and Cao Cao is sitting on hundreds of thousands of troops, so he will not easily return to Xuchang, according to Mr. Shiyuan's opinion, how should we deal with this battle?"

The army marched for several hours, Liu Feng found a riverside to rest for a while in order to preserve his strength, at this time Liu Feng just summoned Pang Tong to his side, spread out the map, and asked in a low voice.

Liu Feng knew that Pang Tong's plan was quite strange, and there would always be unexpected strategies, so he asked this question privately during the march.

"Since the general once confided in Tong, Tong said bluntly, if you think that this ambush can have the possibility of capturing Cao Cao, General Ziwei can't do the same!"

"Oh? Why is this, if Cao Cao can be captured, it will be an immortal achievement, and when the time comes, he will invite credit in front of his father and Zhuge Liang, and his father will have no reason to refuse. Liu Feng didn't expect Pang Tong to say this, but he knew that since Pang Tong said so, he had his own plans, so he just frowned slightly, and then asked.

"Since General Ziwei has the ambition to compete in the world, everything cannot be obtained only by inviting merit, and how can General Ziwei be stable when he invites the rivers and mountains and cities invited? This country, mountains and cities, according to the view of the unification, General Ziwei can only survive forever by relying on the war knife in his hand and the war horse under his crotch, but even if Uncle Liu Huang sent other generals to take over, he is helpless, if the city is returned to the heart, no one can shake the status of the general. ”

"What does that have to do with not being able to capture Cao Cao?"

Liu Feng didn't understand Pang Tong's words for a while, Pang Tong only smiled slightly when he heard this, and replied: "If Cao Cao is captured, Xuchang's internal affairs will definitely present a chaotic situation, and then the army will immediately withdraw from Jingzhou. ”

Liu Feng listened, couldn't help but bow his head to show his approval, since the day before he returned to Gan Ning and Pang Tong to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei refused to appoint, Liu Feng knew in his heart that Liu Bei was also on guard against him, as a righteous son, even if he was strong, in Liu Bei's heart, it was only used to assist Liu Chan in the future, so after hearing what Pang Tong said, Liu Feng gradually had some ideas in his heart.

Pang Tong looked at the change in Liu's expression on the cover, and slowly continued: "This volley, will definitely defeat Cao Cao's army, and teach him to see the bravery of the general's corporaries, the land of Nanjun, we are bound to win, if we can't get Nanjun, there is no reason to garrison here, Uncle Liu Huang will most likely transfer the general back, and then Cao Cao no matter who is sent here to guard against us, we can't quickly repel it, just compete with it, can General Ziwei understand the meaning of the words?" ”
