Seeing the soldiers looking at death as if they were at home, Liu Yi's heart was very pleased.

However, what should be made clear to the soldiers, Liu Yi still has to say.

Raising his hand, Liu Yi asked the soldiers to calm down first, and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, there is one point, I, Liu Yi, want to make it clear to you first." This time we attacked the Yuan Shao ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River, it was not really to attack them. It's a fake attack, and this is actually just a ploy on our part, a ploy to use our 2,000 men and horses as bait. However, I can't explain to you what the plan is for the time being. Anyway, on the other side of the Yellow River, there may already be tens of thousands of Yuan Shao's army waiting for us. Our action this time is actually not much different from going to die. As soon as we arrive on the other side and engage the Yuan army, I, Liu Yi, may have to separate from you, and at that time, in fact, your mission has been completed. At this time, you will have to live your own destiny. In other words, this operation seems to be to get into the mouth of the tiger, and then stage a good show of victory and escape. Don't ask why, just ask yourselves, are you willing to go with me Liu Yi to die? Do you have the confidence to escape with your life in the midst of Yuan's thousands of troops? If you really don't want to take this risk with me Liu Yi, then you can not go! ”

"With Lewy! Go to death! ”

"With Lewy! Go to death! ”

The soldiers did not hesitate at all, and shouted loudly.

Yes, when Liu Yi saw this, he had nothing to say, who is not willing to sacrifice his life for Liu Yi now as a soldier of the New Han Army? Who doesn't faithfully follow Lewy? Even if Lewis wants them to die. They don't frown either.

"Good! Then I, Liu Yi, will go to death with my brothers! Liu Yi said excitedly: "Next." We have to reorganize the soldiers, and when we get to the other side of the river, you will follow the teams you have arranged now, with Wu and Shi as units, and teams and tuns as units, and each of you will support each other and stage a great escape of victory together! ”

Follow down. Liu Yi didn't say anything, and immediately asked Shi A and other brothers and generals to start organizing people.

Two thousand dead men. Just enough to form a battalion of military horses.

Now that it is reorganized, it is convenient for them to have an echo with each other when Yuan Shao's army is scattered on the other side, and it is more convenient for them to support each other. Together, face a strong enemy. Escape together.

Assemble the army, get them familiar with each other, and then have them prepare what they need. For example, each person must prepare at least enough for ten days' worth of dry food, weapons, armor, bows, and arrows, etc., all of which must be checked, so that they can meet the coming difficulties in perfect condition.

Nothing was said all night. Early the next morning, only a little white of the fish belly was exposed in the east. Liu Yi led the two thousand dead soldiers to prepare for action.

Perhaps, God is beautiful.

Early in the morning, it was foggy, and there was a layer of white mist floating on the river, and it was impossible to see the other side across the river.

When there is fog like this, it is just right for Lewi's action.

"Lord, you must be careful, if you can't do it, then forget it." Xun Yu personally sent Liu Yi on the boat, and when he got on the boat, he grabbed Liu Yidao a little worriedly.

Liu Yi's action, Xun Yu's heart really didn't agree with it. Because he felt that Liu Yi really didn't need to take this risk, if he didn't know that Liu Yi's water nature was amazing, he was as flexible as a fish in the water, and he didn't have to ventilate on the surface of the water like ordinary people, Liu Yi could stay in the water for one or two hours, otherwise, Xun Yu really wouldn't agree to this plan no matter what.

Despite the whole plan, Xun Yu believes that there is a good chance of success. But now seeing the rolling Yellow River rapids, Xun Yu was a little worried for no reason, worried about Liu Yi's safety. After all, the water of the Yellow River is muddy and yellow, not like the water of the Yangtze River. As soon as this person jumped into the Yellow River, he would disappear in the blink of an eye, and it was difficult to see clearly what was going on in the riverbed. Therefore, even if Liu Yi said that he could jump into the Yellow River to escape, Xun Yu's heart still felt a little unsteady.

is still the same sentence, the New Han Dynasty really can't live without Liu Yi.

"Wen Ruo, don't worry, now you're ready to cross the river, don't say these useless anymore. It's you, but you must complete the task as planned. Hehe, this time, I, Liu Yiyi, can't show up too early, and I'm afraid that I may not be able to return so quickly. Therefore, the task of destroying Cao Cao's 300,000 elite army falls on you. I'm afraid you're going to be under a lot of pressure. Hehe...... "Liu Yi couldn't help but laugh and said: "Now except for you and a few people who know that I, Liu Yi, faked my death this time, no one else knows." When the time comes, how to appease the ministers in the court, as well as stabilize the morale of our New Han Army, etc., all these tasks will have to be done by you. There should be too much time for it, right? ”

Liu Yi asked about preparing to lure Cao Cao's army into the Tiger Prison Pass now, and then set up an ambush to destroy it.

Xun Yu naturally understood what Liu Yi wanted to ask, he nodded and said, "My lord, the most important thing is your personal safety. Don't worry about anything else. Xun has been in Luoyang for so many years, if he can't even do this, it will be tantamount to living in vain. The subordinates are now ready to return to the Tiger Prison Pass, and begin to give orders and let people prepare. When is it ready, let Cao Cao's army break through our tiger prison pass, at that time, it will definitely be called Cao Jun's return. ”

"Well, that's good, let's go back, goodbye!" Liu Yi patted Xun Yu on the shoulder, signaling that he and the generals didn't need to send it anymore.

"Take care, lord!"

"Take care!"

Xun Yu, Xu Zhu, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others all bowed goodbye to Liu Yi.

"The wind is blowing, the wind is blowing! Brothers, set sail! ”

After Liu Yi waited for Xun Yu and the others to leave, he flew and jumped onto the bow of a warship, and shouted heroically at the 2,000 dead soldiers who had already boarded the ship.

"Set sail!"

Soldiers and Ying, dozens of troop carriers, rushed out of the riverbank.

Not many ships were found, but enough to transport 2,000 men across the river.

The current of the Yellow River is very fast, and the boat is in the middle of the river. It went down the river, and in the blink of an eye, it was hidden in the white mist.

The secret ferry provided by Hua Xin was not actually a real ferry. It's a river beach. Right under a stretch of cliff. That section of the Yellow River, the river is a little slow, turned a big river bay, and where the river bend, there is an alluvial river beach, strange rocks, but. The river is relatively shallow, so when a boat runs aground, you can jump directly into the river and land. This is a section of the river. If it is a dry season, the beach will be exposed.

These situations were clarified by Liu Yi earlier by sending scouts.

The reason why it can't be a normal ferry crossing on the north bank of the Yellow River is because of the cliff. Inconvenience. Because of ordinary people. It must be difficult to climb that cliff. What's more, the water of the Yellow River directly overflows the low cliff, on the surface, the low cliff there is a river, there is no place to stand at all, if it is not personally reconnoitred, no one knows the river water of the low cliff. The deepest is waist-high.

In fact, if Liu Yidang really wanted to attack Yuan Shao. Such a hidden landing site on the Yellow River can really play a great role, at least, Liu Yi led the army to rush here and land on the shore, Yuan Jun must be difficult to feel.

Now, it is estimated that Yuan Jun still doesn't know that Liu Yi has sneaked here with someone.

There was no danger, and the two thousand dead, not a few, all dived safely under the cliffs of the river.

A few soldiers who were good at climbing the cliff climbed directly to the top of the cliff and lowered the rope.

In fact, there is a way to go up, and there is a place on the edge of the cliff where there is a place for one person to climb up and down. But 2,000 horses, one by one, climbed up from there too slowly.

Liu Yi also went up to the top of the cliff and lurked on the mountain with two thousand dead soldiers.

Without the slightest movement, Yuan Jun would definitely not be ambushed in these places. Of course, Liu Yi also knew that Cao Cao would definitely tell Yuan Shao about this secret Yellow River crossing. He led people to sneak here, and Yuan Shao's people now know whether Liu Yi is not clear, but it is almost certain that there will be countless Yuan Jun waiting nearby.

The sun gradually rises, dispelling the morning fog and allowing the line of sight to be seen farther.

Nearby, there are mountains one after another, some gentle and some steep.

Liu Yi observed for a while and found that in front of him, a mountain ridge blocked the way, and he could go up and down the bank of the Yellow River respectively. And in the upstream direction, not much way out, there is a big mountain close to the Yellow River, and beyond the mountain, it is a Yellow River crossing. Liu Yi didn't have to think about it, he was sure that there must be Yuan Shao's military horses guarding that mountain, and if he went upstream, Liu Yi was not afraid of encountering Yuan Shao's army, but looking at the majesty of the mountain range and the limitations of some nearby mountains, it was unlikely that Yuan Shao's army would be ambushed there, because only a small number of military horses could be sent to block Liu Yi's way. What's more, if Liu Yidang really wanted to send a large army to attack the Yellow River, he would only advance downstream, and it was unlikely that he would attack in the direction of the upstream.

In this way, Liu Yi estimated that Yuan Shao's army, the people who really wanted to assassinate him, must be at the ferry downstream. It is conceivable that if he really wanted to sneak attack a ferry of Yuan Shaojun this time, and he could only smuggle over from this beachhead to land on the shore, he would definitely rush to the ferry downstream as soon as possible.

After observing, Liu Yi decided to go downstream and feint to attack the ferry port downstream.

Of course, before preparing to launch an attack on the ferry, Liu Yi summoned the Shi Ashi brothers and a number of generals above the Du Bo level to come and discuss how they would retreat after the attack was ambushed by Yuan's army.

When the time comes, it should be impossible to escape from this cliff again. Yuan Shao now, there must be military horses hidden in the shadows, and as soon as his men and horses leave, his military horses will definitely come to occupy this place first, cutting off Liu Yi's retreat.

According to the reconnaissance of the north bank of the Yellow River by the scouts of the New Han Army, as well as the topographic map drawn back. The mountains on the north bank of the Yellow River are a kind of mountain that extends along the Yellow River, but the depth from the Yellow River to the inland is very short. Among them, it is generally about thirty or forty miles.

That is to say, the 2,000 dead soldiers of the New Han Army, if they fled for their lives at that time, they either fled downstream along the Yellow River, or fled upstream, if they fled inland, once they left these mountains and went to the plains, then they would be bad. Under the pursuit of Yuan's cavalry, they could not escape on two legs.

Flee downstream, of course. There are only hundreds of miles of mountains for them to hide, and after more than a hundred miles, it is also a plain area.

Obviously, if these two thousand dead soldiers want to really escape, it is estimated that they must flee upstream. However, there will definitely be many Yuan soldiers among them who will block them layer by layer. Whether you can escape is really not optimistic.

But there seems to be no choice. They will inevitably flee for their lives in the direction of the upper reaches.

Leo thought for a moment. It was decided to leave a small number of men and horses first, so that they could sneak quietly into the mountains of the upper reaches of the Yellow River now, and when the time came, they could provide some convenience for the dead soldiers who fled upstream. At least take care of them.

Meantime. Liu Yi decided that when the time came, if he was really ambushed by Yuan Shaojun, he would lead Yuan's army downstream as much as possible, so that they could take the opportunity to break through upstream.

There was nothing to say, after discussing it, and after letting each of their generals understand their own escape routes, Liu Yi gave an order. The sergeant immediately emerged from his hiding body and swooped down for the ferry downstream.

The ferry port downstream of the secret beachhead where he landed. It's called Hades.

That's right, it's called Hades, which is a place name. Not far from Hades, about three or four miles away, there is also a Hades village.

As for why he chose the name Hades, Liu Yi really doesn't know.

These places are really quite dangerous, Liu Yi rushed all the way here, and everywhere he passed, there were all some shale hills, among which the mountain roads were intricate, if you didn't know, it was really easy to get lost when you entered this place.

Hades, in fact, is an important ferry port for the north and south of the Yellow River. Because he wanted to beware of the Cao army on the south bank of the Yellow River, Yuan Shao had already ordered people to surround the entire Hades with a stone wall.

In normal times, the people who ferried from the north and south had to enter the ferry port surrounded by stone walls first, and the soldiers of the Yuan army guarding here could only enter and exit the ferry after they had fished enough oil and water.

Now, Hades seems to be a little quiet, as if the soldiers of the Yuan army guarding the ferry have not yet gotten up.

The scout spies of the New Han Army had already discovered the situation of the defenders of this ferry, and in normal times, it was only 500 soldiers of the Yuan Army guarding here. At the very least, there were only forty or fifty Yuan soldiers. Now, Yuan Shao has increased his army to 1,000 men.

Of course, this increase in the number of troops was only discovered by the scouts of the New Han Army, and Liu Yi estimated that there should be thousands of people in this small Hades crossing, to say the least.

There are thousands of men and horses Liu Yi does not have to be afraid, Liu Yi believes that if the New Han Army really wants to sneak attack and seize this Hades ferry, with the current 2,000 dead soldiers, it will definitely be easy to do.

However, what Liu Yi was thinking about was, where would Yuan Shao's army ambush himself now?

Hades?

Does it mean that Hades will not be able to survive here? Or is this the place of Hades, so that Liu Yi has no return?

Liu Yi observed for a while and found that there were only four roads leading to the ferry. If Liu Yi attacks Hades now, once his military horses enter, no matter whether his military horses capture Hades or not, as soon as Yuan Shao's military horses come out and cut off these mountain roads, he and these two thousand men and horses are afraid that it will be difficult to break through.

Liu Yi couldn't help but hesitate a little, because, if he went by himself, he could escape from the Yellow River at any time, but it would be more difficult for them to break through and escape from Hades with his soldiers.

However, if Liu Yi went to Zhongfu alone, it would seem too fake. In particular, if he jumped into the river to escape, it is estimated that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao would feel deceitful at first glance, at least they would not believe that they were really dead. If he didn't die, how could Cao Cao dare to send troops to attack his own New Han Dynasty?

"Lord, give the order!" Shi A seemed to see Liu Yi's hesitation at this time, and approached Liu Yi and said: "We have all come here, we have no way to retreat, these terrain are conducive to Yuan's army to intercept and block us, but it is also conducive to our escape." The terrain we came all the way was not suitable for Yuan Shao to arrange an army here. Therefore, Shi Ah felt that the mystery should be in the Hades crossing. The lord doesn't have to think about us, we are sure to fight our way out of the encirclement, but you must be careful, lord. ”

"Well, that's the case, we can only fight, brothers, are we all ready?"

"Okay, okay......"

Shi Ah nodded again and again, responding on behalf of the soldiers.

As Shi Ah said, the mystery is indeed in the Hades crossing.

It is said that it is not small, but it is not big, and there are at least 10,000 people in the ferry. In addition, behind each intersection, there are also hundreds of thousands of Yuan troops. Of course, in order to be able to kill Liu Yi smoothly, Yuan Shao dispatched more than 200,000 military horses. It's just that its army is distributed among the various ferries on the north bank of the Yellow River.

And because of the secret clues provided by Cao Cao, Yuan Shao was almost certain that if Liu Yi really ventured to cross the river, he would definitely land on that secret beachhead, and then, most likely, he would come to attack this Hades crossing.

Therefore, Yuan Shao personally rushed to the Yama Wangdu, and at this moment, he was in the Yama Wangdu.

Of course, along with Yuan Shao, there are also some generals in his own army, as well as the generals and secret masters sent by Cao Cao.

Although Yuan Shao had been prepared, he was really at a loss now that he didn't know that Liu Yi had sneaked here with a military horse.

Now, he had just woken up from a nap, and he was listening to the people below report on the situation of the enemy and our army. (To be continued......)
