The matter of counting losses is also going on in the camp on Li Sheng's side. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Withdrawing from the enemy's rear camp and returning to his camp, Li Sheng joined up with his infantry. He carefully looked at the infantry brothers who were fighting separately from him, and saw that although they were dusty and always a little tired on their faces, their morale was still quite high, and they did not seem to have suffered many losses, so he laughed happily. He grabbed Da Niu and Luo Zhao's hands and led them to his tent very affectionately.

"It's going well on our side. I don't know how you're doing there. But these are secondary, I just looked at your team, and it doesn't seem like there's much to lose. It really makes me happy. We are now fighting behind enemy lines, and our own safety is the most important thing. As soon as everyone sat down, Li Sheng began to summarize the battle tonight. He began by expressing his satisfaction that everyone had returned safely. Immediately after that, he began to ask about the situation of tonight's battle: "Zhong Ming, how is the battle situation of the infantry army on your side?" "On the cavalry's side, he was involved on his own, and he knew what the situation would be. Therefore, his immediate focus is first and foremost on his own guards and infantry troops.

"Tonight's battle infantry and the Guards work well together. They fought in full accordance with the plan formulated by the lord to confuse the enemy with infantry and attack the enemy with the guards. Because it was a melee, it is impossible to count how many enemies we killed, but it is certain that we inflicted huge damage on the enemy. Since we were attacking the enemy after the flood peak, we didn't encounter much resistance at all. As a result, the damage was not very great, only twelve of the soldiers suffered minor wounds, and none of them were killed. According to the standard of battle set by the lord in the past, we can say that we have won a great victory tonight. Luo Zhao always put on an unsmiling appearance at this military meeting, and at Li Sheng's request, he calmly reported to everyone the general situation of tonight's battle. It's a story without any emotion, and at first glance people think he's talking about someone else's business.

Listening to Luo Zhao's almost indifferent report, everyone couldn't help but filter out his ruthless tone, and only remembered the content. They were delighted with this, and the color of a smile quietly appeared on their faces and quickly deepened on their faces. Tonight they are victors - that in itself is something to celebrate.

"Your situation is similar to what happened to us. We had a seemingly level opponent on our side, but that didn't stop us from winning. What kind of level the enemy is, I think after tonight's battle, you should all understand a little. They are like children and adults compared to you. So there is not much joy to be at it in defeating such an enemy. Actually, I hope that your expression will appear after we defeated Cao Cao. Victory over a garbage enemy is not something to be celebrated, only the victory over the former is something to celebrate. Li Sheng looked at everyone's smile and was vaguely intoxicated, shook his head slightly, and comforted them softly.

"Yes...... Lord! When everyone heard Li Sheng say this, they realized that they were a little carried away. They were shaken by Li Sheng's ideals and stood up one after another to reassure Li Sheng. Although no one is sure whether they can really do today's guarantee in the future, and they have not forgotten it at all, but at least at this moment they are sincerely moved.

"Okay...... Li Sheng pressed his hands forward and motioned for his subordinates to sit down first: "We have undoubtedly achieved great success in this sortie. But such success was still bearable for the enemy. No matter how many of them we kill and injure tonight, we won't make them want to give up. While they may also be scared and will want to retreat, they are more likely to want to conscript, and they want to hold out. After suffering a single loss, no matter how stupid they were, they would have thought of tightening up the defenses of their camp. There is a good chance that they will be repairing in place, which makes it difficult for us to continue attacking their own team in the future. So, we need to change our thinking, we can't just focus on this big dragon, we have to find a way to give them a little bit of power in other aspects. ”

"Elsewhere?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

"Do you know where the most important place is for the enemy on his expedition other than themselves?" Li Sheng asked them with a smile.

"Doesn't the lord want to target Anyang?" Luo Zhao, who was in charge of intelligence, reacted quickly, and tentatively said his judgment according to the situation he knew.

"Exactly." Li Sheng nodded vigorously.

"No!" Zhou Rui's face turned pale when he heard this, and he waved his hand again and again: "Lord, this must not be!" He said it very eagerly, thinking that he really cared about it. Although Zhou Rui, Zhou Li, and Song De called Li Sheng "boss" when they were alone with Li Sheng, it was only because the relationship between the four was very good. Once attending such a formal military meeting, except for Zhou Li, who had an honest personality, Song De and Zhou Rui generally called Li Sheng "the lord" with everyone. Li Sheng was very dissatisfied with this, but after persuading Zhou Rui and Song De several times to no avail, he never mentioned it again - because the two of them strongly opposed this, and even said that if they had to do so, they would break off their righteousness, which made Li Sheng have a headache. In order not to let such a "trivial matter" affect the relationship between several people, Li Sheng had no choice but to obey.

"Why not?" Li Sheng asked him with a smile, completely ignoring Zhou Rui's anxious appearance.

"Doesn't the lord know that since Anyang was an important place for the Yellow Turban Army, a large number of Yellow Turbans guarded this place and built it into an iron city?" Zhou Rui was in a hurry, sweat was faintly oozing from his forehead, and he hurriedly persuaded Li Sheng: "How can this battle be fought if you are unprepared and prepared?" Even if it's a strong attack, we don't have the strength to attack it right now. ”

"But for us now, only by attacking Anyang and burning the grain and grass in Anyang can we vigorously attack the existence of the yellow scarf. Yellow scarves are also people, and they also have to eat. Li Sheng still insisted on the surface, but in his heart he smiled because of Zhou Rui's appearance. It feels really good to play tricks on people. He thought so, but the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"The lord is laughing?" Luo Zhao, who felt a little arrogant after listening to Li Sheng's insistence, noticed this subtle move at the corner of Li Sheng's mouth, and he couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, and then recalled Li Sheng's usual behavior, and suddenly had an idea in his heart: "Could it be that the lord is just testing or joking or something?" He already has a plan to attack Anyang? Thinking that he looked at Li Sheng more carefully, and found that his lord was actually calm now, he was even more sure of his judgment. He quietly glanced at Zhou Rui, and found that the general who was tricked by the lord was still anxious, so he was a little reluctant and deliberately relieved him: "The lord doesn't want to play tricks, don't you see that General Zhou Rui is already a little anxious?" The lord is a talented man, please tell us the actual plan, so as to solve the doubts in our hearts. ”

"......" was told that this bad plan was right now, Li Sheng couldn't help but feel embarrassed, he was directly stuck there for a while, and he didn't know what to say for a while. After a long time, he turned around slightly, and faced this Luo Zhao with a smirk: "Zhong Ming, why did you just see it?" ”

"Huh......?" After Luo Zhao said that, Zhou Rui, who was as stupid as Li Sheng, suddenly glared when he heard Li Sheng say this: "It turns out that I was played by someone?" Thinking about it, the anger in his heart couldn't help but rise, and a few black stripes had faintly appeared on his face. The boss ...... "Zhou Rui rarely called Li Sheng in front of everyone, which should have made Li Sheng happy, but now everyone understands that Zhou Rui is not an affectionate name for Li Sheng." "You can draw a line." Zhou Rui puffed out his mouth and muttered quietly: "Why are people like this?" "He was only a teenager, and he was born with a handsome appearance with white faces and red lips, and now he was playing a temper, and one thought that it was some kind of imp who was making trouble there - and it was no wonder, who told him to have a baby face.

"Alright, alright." Li Sheng snorted with a thick face and passed this embarrassing thing. Then he put away the color of the joke and became serious and mysterious: "Anyang is a city that is difficult for us to attack from the outside. But we can use some other means to let us enter Anyang safely. At that point, it should be an easy thing for us to take Anyang. Know that any strong fortress is breached from within. ”

"Internal?" Zhou Rui scratched his head, but he still couldn't realize it: "How to break through from the inside of the enemy?" ”

"Didn't I say it all? You can use some other means to get into Anyang City. After all, there are so many mountains where the Runan Yellow Turban exists, and no one knows how many forces are entrenched here! Li Sheng smiled and narrowed his eyes.

"What does the lord mean is that we can use the identity of the Yellow Turban Thief to cover our entry into Anyang City?" Having said this, even Zhou Li, who has always been straightforward, understands. It's often that simple, as long as a thin screen is pierced, almost everyone can come up with a reasonable reason.

"That's it." Li Sheng smiled and touched his chin, which only had some beard scum.

Unlike people now, he who has lived in the future will always be a little uncomfortable with a beard. In the past, when he was at home, he carefully trimmed his beard, trying not to let it grow too long on his fair face—a kind of unusual hobby. He had always been accustomed to this, but in such a pretended deep moment, he could not feel that comfortable.

"Isn't it true that only people with long beards can put on a deep pose?" He thought to himself a little strangely.

It's just a flute for a while. The subordinates who were a little boiled by Li Sheng's call all thought about the feasibility of what Li Sheng said, and they didn't notice that their lord was in a daze. Even Luo Zhao, who has always paid close attention to Li Sheng, is the same for Luo Zhongming.

"I don't know where the lord plans to start first?" After a while, the discussion gradually subsided, thinking that everyone had reached a general consensus, and they motioned to their representative Luo Zhao to ask Li Sheng such a question.

"I don't know." Li Sheng shook his head slightly, "To be honest, I only know how to do this." I don't know exactly what the action will be in this direction. Let's adapt to the situation. Runan is mountainous, and I think we can always find the opportunity we need as long as we go north. ”

“…… That's right. After listening to Li Sheng's explanation, everyone understood a little. Although Luo Zhao among them thought that Li Sheng wanted to go north into the mountains not just for this point, since Li Sheng was unwilling to say it, he couldn't raise his own question, as long as he kept this question in his heart for the time being and waited for later.

"So...... Let's go down and rest first. It's about dawn now, and dawn is basically an hour later. I hope you can take a little rest, and when the day dawns we have to move quickly. I don't want our tracks here to be discovered by the enemy, that would be a big trouble for us. Li Sheng gave the order calmly, he glanced at the people in the tent, and found that their faces did have tiredness that could not be concealed, and he couldn't help but sigh softly: "Although this is a bit difficult for everyone, I hope everyone can still persevere." It's also for the safety of all of us. ”

"Yes!" Everyone nodded in unison. They are all smart people, so they naturally understand Li Sheng's pain and helplessness. In terms of distance, they are indeed somewhat closer to the enemy now. In the past, it was safe because of the rain, and the enemy's reconnaissance was greatly restricted, but now the rain has stopped. If you stay here any longer, you are afraid that you will really cause the enemy to pursue and your team will suffer even greater losses. After all, with their superiority in strength, the enemy can indeed easily erase the existence of these people.

And so the matter was finalized. The two generals who commanded the army, Zhou Rui and Zhou Li, quickly left the camp and went down to the troops. Although Li Sheng asked them to go and rest now, they were not among the people who were asked to do so now. As the commander of the army, how to arrange for the soldiers to rest well is their business. Of course, these soldiers usually have a special logistics officer in charge, but at the moment they have to deal with it themselves. Because this time, there was no logistician with the army to follow.

After an hour, the sky was slightly hazy. Li Sheng's team rose up and headed north. Of course, they did not forget to destroy the entire camp for the sake of secrecy. After a period of "ping-pong", all they left there was was a dilapidated ruin, and there were no clues left other than to prove that someone had actually stayed here. Li Sheng was an extremely careful person, and he even arranged a special team of people to handle the trajectory of people and horses. He didn't want anyone to know where he went.

After traveling north for a few days, Li Sheng's team had entered the mountains. This is an almost desolate and depressed place, and after three days of walking in the mountains, Li Sheng has only met three people.

"Did you go the wrong way?" Zhou Rui saw such a barren mountain forest and couldn't help but ask Li Sheng.

"I've sent cavalry to scout. They say that this way is indeed going north. Li Sheng looked very innocent.

"To the north, this is indeed to the north. But don't you have a destination until now, my lord? The mountain is so big that we may not be able to walk all over here even if we go here for a month. Zhou Rui frowned slightly: "Lord, where do you want to go?" ”

"Go to Runan." Li Sheng replied, "I want to go over there and have a look." ”

"Why go there? Runan, that's Liu Pi's nest. If it is to go deep into the enemy territory, it is too deep. "It's not just Zhou Rui now, even Luo Zhao thinks that Li Shengde's decision is too crazy.

"Nothing." Li Sheng smiled and did not give Luo Zhao a direct answer, but asked Luo Zhaoling a question: "Does Zhong Ming know what is happening in Runan now?" It doesn't have to be about us. ”

"Well, this one!" Hearing Li Sheng ask himself violently, Luo Zhao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, quieted down and recalled the information in his mind. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Li Sheng calmly. "There's one thing, but it really has nothing to do with us. Although this matter has something to do with Liu Pi and Gong. Luo Zhao said calmly: "I heard that Liu Bei came to Runan, and his purpose was to persuade Liu Pi and Gong to join Yuan Shao's camp, and Runan sent troops to attack Xuchang. ”

"What?" Hearing Luo Zhao talk about the news, Zhou Rui, who was following Li Sheng, couldn't help but be surprised: "Are you talking about Liu Bei, who is cooking wine with Cao Cao and discussing heroes?" I heard that he was a man who loved the people. However, didn't he go to Hebei, how could he come to Runan? ”

"This ...... I don't know. Luo Zhao shook his head gently: "...... Maybe Yuan Shao ordered him, isn't he doing things for Yuan Shao right now? ”

"Not really! This matter was requested by Liu Bei himself, and he didn't dare to stay in Hebei anymore. Li Sheng shook his head and said softly: "He feels that he has a life in Hebei." ”

"How so?" Luo Zhao couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't get information in this regard: "Lord Yuan Shao doesn't value Lord Liu Bei very much?" How so? Didn't he know that having Lord Liu Bei on his side would be very helpful to his reputation? Although Lord Liu Bei could not convince more celebrities, he was able to grasp the most basic popular will, which should be very beneficial to their Yuan family's rule in Hebei. It's not like Lord Yuan Shao who is so powerful that he can't even see this. ”

"No!" Li Sheng shook his head gently, "It's not that Yuan Shao can't see this, but it is precisely because Yuan Shao sees it that he is not at ease with Liu Bei." What kind of person is Liu Bei, he is a person that even Cao Cao admires. Liu Bei has a reputation, popularity, and talent, for a monarch, he is a talent, if he can be subdued, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the development of his own forces, but he is not so easy to subdue. Perhaps Cao Cao was most likely to subdue him, but Cao Cao's own ambitions for the world prevented all this from happening. Liu Bei was born in the Han family, and he attached great importance to Han Tong, but Cao Cao despised Han Tong for his own interests, which made Liu Bei have the idea of betraying Cao Cao. He was forced to take refuge in Yuan Shao, but he just wanted to stay with Yuan Shao for a while. Yuan Shao also had his own ambitions, so it was impossible for him to get Liu Bei's submission. Coupled with Yuan Shao's personality problems, such as 'doing big things and sparing his life, seeing small profits and going to righteousness', 'liking flattery', 'his subordinates are fighting', etc., Liu Bei clearly saw that he couldn't beat Cao Cao in the end. Therefore, Liu Bei judged that there was no future for him again. So, Liu Bei thought about leaving. It's just that he needs to have a place to stay after leaving, and Liu Bei seems to think that this Runan is the best place for him to go south. ”

"I see." Listening to Li Sheng's analysis, everyone couldn't help but show a look of surprise. It's just that while Luo Zhao agrees with Li Sheng's point of view, he still has some questions in his heart: "The answer is undoubtedly conditional to be made." I didn't receive what the lord said, so where did the lord understand? He wanted to ask, but when the words came to his lips, they became like this: "Then why is the lord going to Runan again?" ”

"Because I want to meet Liu Bei and see what this world-famous hero is like." Li Sheng said with a smile, with a look of fascination in his eyes: "I expect that Liu Bei will not be able to stand in Runan." Because Runan was too close to Xudu, if Cao Cao knew that Liu Bei was here, he would inevitably raise a large army. Although he was going to face off against Yuan Shao, it was not something that could be solved in a moment, and Liu Bei's threat in Runan was undoubtedly much greater for Cao Cao than Yuan Shao. If such a situation really occurs, I think Liu Bei will definitely not be able to resist, he will want to find another force to take refuge into, and Jingzhou, which is close to the south of the Ru, is obviously the best ending. As Liu Bei, we can catch up with Lord Liu Biao, and we will inevitably have to live together, and sooner or later we will have to have a good relationship. In this case, it is better to get along with Liu Bei now, and by the way, use Liu Bei's relationship to make it easier for Liu Pi to accept the conditions of our peace talks. ”

"Is Liu Bei and Liu Bi related? I don't know? Listening to Li Sheng's words, Zhou Li was stunned for a long time and came up with such a sentence, and said it very funny: "Both of them are surnamed Liu, but they are distant relatives." ”

"Go to ......" Li Sheng scolded with a smile and made a kicking gesture to Zhou Li, "These two, one is the emperor's uncle and the other is a thief, how can they be related." ”

"And what is their relationship?" Zhou Li asked humbly.

"Partnership." Li Sheng smiled and said, "Now the Yellow Turban Army is no longer popular. After spending so many years in the mountains, they were all tired of being treated as thieves. They want to get out of the mountains, they want to get a place. What Cao Cao did in Shandong a few years ago undoubtedly gave them hope. Whether it is Zhang Wu, Chen Sun, Liu Pi, or Gong Du, they all hope to join the camp of a certain hero and be recognized by the world. So, Zhang Wu and Chen Sun came to Jingzhou, they originally wanted to go to Jiangdong, but they were left behind by us. Although Liu Bi and Gong Du did not show the idea of urgently looking for someone to take refuge, they would also be moved when a real opportunity appeared in front of them. Liu Bei's current strength is very weak, and it can almost be said that he has nothing. If you take refuge in him, although there is a high possibility of destroying with him, there is also a possibility of becoming the main force of his core and soaring. This is a big risky thing, and Liu Bi is only afraid that he is also choosing at the moment. However, I think he is likely to completely fall to Liu Bei. After all, Liu Bei has the reputation of a clan relative and has extraordinary ability, and the names of him and his brother have long been famous in the Yellow Turban Army. Saying this, Li Sheng paused.

"Say it quickly......," everyone urged, "We don't know why Liu Bi will accept our conditions by taking advantage of Liu Bei's relationship." ”

"It's easy." The smile on Li Sheng's face deepened, he glanced at the people around him, shook a "You are an idiot" to them, and then continued: "If Liu Bi wants to become Liu Bei's subordinate, he must listen to Liu Bei's orders. And Liu Bei is a person who loves the people, not to mention whether his love for the people is true or not, but if he wants to maintain his reputation as a lover of the people, then he must restrain Liu Pi. If we propose to let Liu Bi stop harassing Xiyang under such circumstances, it is very likely that Liu Bi will agree - in fact, they will not agree to it, after Liu Bi becomes Liu Bei's subordinate, they will first face Cao Cao's attack, and they cannot help but gather their soldiers and horses to deal with this pass. However, I think it's better to talk to Liu Bei in advance. ”

"Well, that's right!" The crowd understood.

"But how far is this from Runan? We can't just sneak past. In that case, supplies will not be enough. Zhou Rui put forward his own opinions.

"The problem of insufficient supplies, I think can be supplemented by looting. From here to Runan, there are many cottages and bandits along the way, and robbing them will always be enough for me to eat Runan. Li Sheng shook his head and said that this was not a problem.

"But in that case...... Zhou Rui seemed to want to explain something, but he knew that he was a little wrong, and his voice quickly lowered: "Isn't it too tired?" I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch up with the matter of stopping Gong Du from attacking Xinxi. ”

"Then tell Huang Zhong and Wei Yan about our decision now, and let them be sure to accept the time when we come back. As long as they can keep the army in their hands until this time, it will be fine. As for the new city, let them give up if they want after the people have withdrawn. No matter how important the city is, it is not as important as our people. Li Sheng thought for a while and said.

"Yes!" Luo Zhao nodded, and quickly recorded the order that Li Sheng said. In this division of the Einsatzgruppen, he, as an intelligence officer, actually assumed the duties of a herald.

"Are you going to tell them how late we'll be back?" He reminded Li Shengdao.

"How long?" Li Sheng was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and then said, "It's about a month." It depends on the situation. After all, we are in a deep enemy situation, and many things are uncertain. As he spoke, Li Sheng sighed softly. He still has another purpose that he hasn't said: this time to the north, in addition to wanting to go to Runan to meet this Liu Bei, who has been regarded as a benevolent lord by successive kings but has been scolded as hypocritical by modern people, he also wants to try to collect the heart of a general. He knew that this was his last chance, as long as this time passed, he was afraid that he could only sit back and watch him stay under Liu Bei's account and establish the prestige that he had long been familiar with in history. That may be the general's path, which is also very good for Liu Bei, but for Li Sheng, who also has the ambition to dominate the world, it is the last thing he wants to see. He thinks that it is a good general, a "good thing", and "good things" are often in their own hands.

Zhao Yun ...... Although it is difficult to subdue you now, I still have to look at it somewhat. Li Sheng looked up at the sky, and his eyes shone with an incomparably determined light - although this purpose seemed a little unreasonable to others, it was a knot that had to be resolved for Li Sheng himself.
