Chapter 120 - The Death of Li Shu (II)

Three days later, Huang Gai led an army of 100,000 to the outside of Shu County, the seat of Lujiang Zhishu, and set up camp.

Looking at the closed city gate of Shu County, Huang Gai couldn't help frowning.

At this moment, he remembered the scene when he followed Sun Ce to attack Lujiang, you must know that it took them two years to take Lujiang from Lu Kang's hands.

Moreover, it was because of its lack of food and grass that it gave them the opportunity to break the city, otherwise, who knows how long it would take them to break the city.

However, this attack on Lujiang will definitely not give them too long time, not to mention that a long time of conquest will consume a lot of grain and grass, let's just say that if the time is long, it is guaranteed that the situation in Jiangdong will be revealed at this moment, and Liu Biao will know.

That's when the real trouble comes in.

After sighing, Huang Gai turned around from the camp and walked into the tent of the Chinese army, and said to Zhou Yu, who was looking at the map: "Gongjin, what is the plan for this expedition to Lujiang?" ”

Zhou Yu raised his head and glanced at Huang Gai: "This campaign must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise there will be too many variables!" ”

"I also know this, but that Li Shu just closed the city gate and didn't come out, if it was a strong attack, the loss would be too great! Besides, it's not once or twice to fight Lujiang, if you really want to attack the city, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take it! ”

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Huang Gai couldn't help but shake his head.

Zhou Yu naturally knew the difficulties involved, this time was different from when he attacked Liu Xun, and at that time he used the strategy of night attack.

Without any defense, it is naturally easy to take it down.

However, this time, Li Shu was well prepared.

Since they dare to openly raise the banner of rebellion, who dares to say that they are not prepared at all!

Zhou Yu closed his eyes, thinking carefully about the countermeasures to attack Li Shu in his mind, he knew that he had to come up with an opportunity to pry open the gate of Shuxian County at this moment.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Yu finally had a thought in his heart, and suddenly opened his closed eyes, and a flash of light flashed through his pupils.

"Since we can't get in, let him out!"

"Let him out?" After hearing what Zhou Yu said, Huang Gai couldn't help but repeat it softly.

Zhou Yu nodded, then glanced at the map, and when he saw a marked forest not far from Shu County on the map, his right hand couldn't help but slap on the map: "That's right, just let him come out, and then in this place, completely destroy him!" ”

Huang Gai saw Zhou Yu's right hand angrily slap the map on the table, and couldn't help leaning in, trying to see where the place Zhou Yu was pointing to.

After seeing clearly where Zhou Yu was pointing, Huang Gai couldn't help but nodded, then raised his head, looked at Zhou Yu's face, and slowly said, "This is indeed a good place, but how can you trick Li Shu out?" ”

Yes, the most important thing is not where the ambush is, but how to lure Li Shu out of the city.

If Li Shu didn't go out of the city, this strategy would be useless at all.

After hearing Huang Gai's question, a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of Zhou Yu's mouth, chuckled, and responded: "I have my own way to do this, General Huang can lead the army to hide in that place and wait for Li Shu's arrival with peace of mind!" ”

Huang Gai couldn't help frowning after listening to Zhou Yu's response.

You must know that this matter is related to whether you can capture Lujiang as soon as possible, but the most important strategy to lure the enemy Zhou Yu did not say anything, which had to make Huang Gai's heart feel a little suspicious of the success of Zhou Yu's strategy.

After thinking about it for a long time, Huang Gai finally chose to believe in Zhou Yu.

After all, just by virtue of Mei Zhoulang's name, it means that the resourcefulness is unparalleled, and there must be no mistakes.

"If that's the case, then I'll lead an army of 50,000 to ambush here, but you still need to be vigilant when you lure the enemy!"

"Jiangdong can't do without you at this time!"

After Zhou Yu heard Huang Gai's words, he chuckled and nodded: "Old General Huang, don't worry, I can't bear my life!" ”

Huang Gai nodded and responded: "That's good!" In that case, I won't say more, so I'll go down and prepare first! ”

After the words fell, Huang Gai turned around and wanted to leave.

Before Huang Gai walked out of the camp gate, Zhou Yu suddenly thought of something, so he immediately stretched out his hand and shouted at Huang Gai's back: "Old General Huang, please wait a minute!" ”

After hearing Zhou Yu's words of blocking, Huang Gai stopped his steps about to step out of the camp tent and turned to look at Zhou Yu suspiciously.

"What's wrong?"

"General Huang, when you get there, please catch some birds first!"

Huang Gai's heart was even more puzzled by what Zhou Yu said, so he opened his mouth and asked Zhou Yu, "What are you doing catching birds?" ”

"In order to confuse Li Shu!" Zhou Yu's eyes were fixed on Huang Gai, his expression was extremely serious, "When Li Shu arrives there, if there is silence, how can it be suspicious!" ”

"After all, after the truly uninhabited woods, there must be birds!"

"If I enter somewhere, but I don't startle the birds, doesn't that tell people that there is an ambush here!"

"And if I catch a lot of birds first, and after I enter, I will release them and make them look like they are frightened and fly, so how many people will be suspicious?"

"This only confirms the fact that no one is there, even though this fact is false!"

After listening to what Zhou Yu said, Huang Gai also suddenly realized.

Indeed, just as Zhou Yu said, there was originally a saying in the art of war that it was impossible to enter the forest, and if after seeing a dead and silent forest, there were still a few people who dared to enter the forest to pursue.

And if the bird is alarmed, then the decision can eliminate the possibility of its ambush.

If Zhou Yu hadn't brought it up, Huang Gai's ambush would have become a joke in the end.

After saluting Zhou Yu, he turned around and left, and walked out of the Chinese military camp: "If it weren't for Gong Jin's reminder, I'm afraid it would be in vain!" ”

……

After Huang Gai led half of the troops to leave, Zhou Yu also put away the smile on his face and sighed.

led the remaining 50,000 troops to the outside of Shu County, and Zhou Yu also began to lure the enemy by himself.

In fact, the method used by Zhou Yu was not very clever, which is why he sighed in the Chinese military camp before. Because even he himself was not sure that he would be able to trick Li Shu out.

All he used was a shoddy method of agitation, standing outside the city, and letting the soldiers behind him shout insults at the city.

Although the method is not clever, it is beyond Zhou Yu's expectations, and the effect is surprisingly good.

Before he could scold for long, Li Shu couldn't bear it anymore and led the army out of Shu County.

It was this exit from the city that had already doomed Li Shu to perish.

After that, the city of Shu, which was the seat of Lujiang governance, never ushered in the return of Li Shu......
