Chapter 55: The Battle of the Floods (1)

After Zhang Xun came back from Yang Hong's mansion, the boulder in his heart was finally completely unloaded, and he wrote a letter and handed it to a confidant, asking him to send it out of the city overnight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The next day, Yuan Shu personally led the army to the battle, and the 30,000 troops of the Nanyang army marched westward with great momentum.

Yuan Shu is a military general, although the martial arts are not very high, but there is no problem at all to ride a horse to fight, he is forty-five years old this year, his energy is still very strong, Yuan Shu is greedy for money and stingy, do big things and cherish money, see small profits and forget righteousness, it is obvious that he is a person who can't do big things, he has a group of strategists but does not know how to use people well, and most of the generals under his hands are inactive, which is inseparable from his incompetence and short-sightedness as a lord.

Yuan Shu glanced at the mighty army column very proudly, and said to the strategist Li Feng on the side: "What do you think of my army? ”

Li Feng is the master of his account, and his official position is not as good as Yang Hong, but he can be literate and martial, and he is one of the few people under Yuan Shu who can take charge alone.

Li Feng glanced at the army, and saw that the soldiers were listless and scattered, and the weather was hot at this time, and the soldiers were all undressed and undressed in order to dissipate heat.

"The lord's army is mighty, the army is fighting, and the soldiers are fierce, it is a rare elite army!"

Li Feng knew that Yuan Shu wanted to listen to good words, so he first gave him a good compliment, and then made him happy, and when he was happy, it would be much easier to tell him other things.

Sure enough, after Yuan Shu heard what he said, he was very satisfied, the look on his face was very proud, and he snorted in his mouth: "That yellow turban thief is only more than 10,000 people, how can he be the opponent of my 30,000 elite army, forgive them for seeing our army come to beg, they must be so frightened that they will run away, wait, wait to see how I defeat them!" ”

Li Feng said yes again and again, and then took the opportunity to persuade and said: "Lord, the army has already marched forward for fifty miles, and Geling is in front, why don't you let the army repair in Geling, and wait for the temperature to drop a little in the afternoon before setting off?" ”

Yuan Shu didn't feel it at first, but at this time, after he said it, he knew that it was indeed a little hot, so he said: "That's good, the army will insist on five miles to the road to Yi (this word is pronounced yi, but Sogou can't type, I'm angry) After the water, rest on the spot, continue to rush in the afternoon, and be sure to arrive in Ancheng before dark today!" ”

Finally, the army finally arrived at Geling, and the soldiers were tired and thirsty at this time, and they ran to the edge of the water to drink, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

"General Zhang, the terrain here is open, it is easy to be attacked by the enemy cavalry, the soldiers are tired at this time, general, you can let people stop them, don't let them make a mess like this, otherwise, if we are attacked by the enemy cavalry, we are likely to be driven down the water!"

Li Feng's eyes were full of worry, he was a person who had led soldiers, and he knew that the more relaxed the army, the more dangerous it was, so he reminded Zhang Xun of his words.

Of course, Zhang Xun knew that Li Feng had good intentions, but at this time, tens of thousands of soldiers had gathered on the riverside, and it was impossible to separate them in a short period of time, so he said: "Lord Li, you don't know, the reason why the soldiers are like this is because with the permission of the lord, I have no right to change his order, but you don't have to worry too much, I have arranged hundreds of scouts on the periphery, and I have prepared the five thousand elite soldiers under my command, if the enemy dares to come and sneak attack, We will discover their whereabouts immediately, and my army will protect the safety of your lord and lord, and ensure that the army has time to prepare! ”

"That's the best, but General Zhang, you still have to be more vigilant!"

Although Li Feng still couldn't put his mind at ease, he couldn't say anything more, but he had a faint bad feeling in his heart.

Looking at Li Feng's distant back, Zhang Xun showed an intriguing smile.

At this time, the time was close to noon, the weather at the end of June was very hot, even if everyone was next to the water, but the heat wave produced after the sun burst was still unbearable for the soldiers, when Liu Bei took the 700,000 troops of Shu to go to Eastern Wu, the army was because of the hot weather so that the morale of the soldiers declined, and finally Liu Bei had to order the soldiers to enter the woods to seek shelter, which happened to be calculated by Lu Xun, and then burned the company camp, a fire burned the hope of the revival of Shu Han.

And history is always strikingly similar, Yuan Shu's army can't stand the sun's exposure, the soldiers rush to the woods by the river to seek refuge, even Yuan Shu himself is no exception, although Li Feng tried hard to persuade him, but Yuan Shu was unmoved, although he knew that it was easy to suffer from fire, but he didn't believe that the Yellow Turban Army would leave the lair and run so far to attack them, so he still let the soldiers do it.

Zhang Xun did arrange a lot of scouts outside, but most of the defense lines of these scouts patrolled were in the west, and they were not too far away from where they stopped, so if it was a sneak attack by an early warning army, it would still be able to barely deal with it, but if it was to deal with the attack of the cavalry, then their scouts would only be too late to warn them, and Zhang Xun, as the commander of the first army, plus he was originally very respectful and cautious, such a mistake seems to be a little intriguing.

"Yaoqing, have you taken this step?"

Under the shade of the tree, Yuan Shu is playing chess with Yuan Huan, Yuan Huan is a strategist under him, because it is a clan relationship, so Yuan Shu trusts him very much, and he is also one of Yuan Shu's henchmen.

"Let me think about it, no, this step has gone wrong!"

Yuan Huan's chess skills are two knives, and he lost a few games with Yuan Shu in a few games, but Yuan Shu's interest was very high, so Yuan Huan naturally couldn't spoil his interest.

Yuan Huan quickly fell, as soon as this piece fell, Yuan Shu immediately thought of several pieces of chess pieces that could be eaten, he twisted up a chess piece, and was about to fall, but suddenly found that the chess pieces on the chessboard were shaking one by one.

Yuan Shu didn't care at first, and continued to play his chess, but the vibration amplitude of the chess pieces on the chessboard became bigger and bigger, and gradually some of the chess pieces on the corners actually began to jump up, Yuan Shu seemed to think of something, his face changed greatly, he lifted the blanket under him, leaned over to his ear, and listened carefully on the ground, and the next moment Yuan Shu suddenly jumped up, his expression was no longer as calm as before, he shouted urgently: "Enemy attack!" ”
