Chapter Ninety-Five: Let the Fish Take the Bait
Yiren's face suddenly appeared with shame.
Diao Chan's fleeting shame, how could he escape Diao Xiong's gaze, and he immediately understood that the touching thing last night was real.
The righteous sister Diao Chan actually used her own body to warm up his body!
"Nothing happened to us, I don't know what you're talking about." Diao Chan hurriedly denied it.
Diao Xiong knew his sister best, but judging by her embarrassed expression, he knew that she was lying.
Diao Xiong couldn't help but sigh secretly, when he thought that she could sacrifice her body like that, just to warm her body, a strong sense of emotion arose in his heart.
"Brother, since you are well, I will go out and tell your generals first, they are all anxious to see you." Diao Chan panicked, fearing that he would reveal his flaws, so he hurriedly found an excuse to leave in a hurry.
Looking at the departing shadow, in my mind, the scene from last night couldn't help but appear in front of me again, stirring my heart and lingering.
During the fugue, Xu Rong, Wen Ping, Li Yan, Xu Chu, and Xu Shu and other civil and military generals all entered the big tent, and they all looked at Mink Xiong's illness one by one, and they were all surprised.
"General, you can calculate it, we will all die in a hurry in the past few days." Xu Chu said in a rough voice.
Xu Rong also said excitedly: "It's good that the general is well, the enemy has been calling for battle in the past few days, especially that Guan Yu, who is extremely arrogant, we all hold our breath, and now that the general is finally better, let's open the door to meet the battle, and kill their arrogance." ”
Seeing that the generals were impassioned and all shouted for war, the corners of Minkxiong's mouth swept a sly smile, and he said unhurriedly: "My illness is cured, but you want to let out the rumors, just say that I am seriously ill and incurable, and I am still bedridden." ”
The generals were stunned and looked at each other, all of them at a loss.
Xu Shu, who was dozing, was also stunned for a moment, but then smiled: "Could it be that the general wants to pretend to be seriously ill, so as to lure Sun and Liu to take the bait?" ”
"Those who know me, Xu Yuanzhi!" Diao Xiong laughed loudly, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent, "Most of my illness is due to Guan Yu, how can I let him cut a few knives for nothing, of course, I have to return it to him tenfold." ”
There is a mystery hidden in Diao Xiong's words, Xu Rong and the other generals were stunned for a while, and they have not yet turned the corner.
"Since the general pretends to be seriously ill, then Sun Jian and Liu Bei will definitely think that our army has been frustrated and take the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack on our army, at that time, we can take them by surprise and kill them by surprise!" Li Yan was not a general, he was quite resourceful, and quickly guessed Mink Xiong's intentions.
Mink Xiong smiled and acquiesced to what Li Yan said.
The generals suddenly realized that they were all excited.
In the previous battle of Yingkou, although Diao Xiong defeated Guan Yu, he only killed more than 1,000 Xuzhou soldiers, and the strength of Liu Bei's department was not substantially hit.
Now Liu Bei went to the north of Shouchun City, formed a horn with Sun Jian's department, backed by Shouchun Jiancheng, and fought locally, but it was said that he had taken advantage of the geographical advantages and advantages.
On the surface, although the number of mink male soldiers and horses is slightly better than that of the opponent, it is actually at a disadvantage, which is why Guan Yu dared to come to challenge several times in the past few days.
If Diao Xiong's strategy to lure the enemy can succeed, he can defeat the Sun-Liu coalition army and reverse the disadvantage in one fell swoop, and the generals will not be excited.
At this time, Li Yan said again: "I heard that Liu Bei is quite a bit wise, and Sun Jian has fallen for our plan several times, so I must be wary in my heart, and I am afraid it is not so easy to lure them into taking the bait easily." ”
"It makes sense." Diao Xiong nodded, "Sun Jian and Liu Bei are both heroes, and they can't be easily recruited, so they must think of another trick." ”
Diao Xiong's gaze shot at Xu Shu, who was dozing.
He has a superbrain, and although he has strong computing ability, he is mostly focused on memorizing and analyzing data, as well as modifying his body structure.
In terms of big strategy, Diao Xiong has a great advantage, but in terms of small tactics, the super brain may not be as effective as the brain of a resourceful person like Xu Shu.
The meaning of Diao Xiong's eyes was obvious: Xu Yuanzhi, don't doze off, it's time to do something.
"I have to use my brain again, I'm so tired......" Xu Shu muttered in his mouth, looking very distressed, but he could only frown helplessly and meditate.
After pondering for a long time, Xu Shu's eyebrows, which had condensed into the word "Sichuan", suddenly loosened.
……
A few days later, Shouchun City.
In the lobby of the military palace, the smell of wine is overflowing, and the atmosphere is harmonious.
Sun Jian and Liu Bei sat separately, chatting and laughing, and discussing the world.
"Brother, General Sun, there is detailed news today, saying that the mink male was stabbed by me a few times the day before yesterday, and he was seriously ill, and his military spirit must have been unstable, why don't we take advantage of his bedridden illness to raise the two armies to rob the enemy camp, and we will definitely destroy the mink male in one fell swoop."
At the bottom of the stairs, Guan Yu proudly asked for battle, his bare face flashing with complicated anger.
As soon as Guan Yu called for battle, Huang Gai and other generals under Sun Jian also generously asked for battle, wanting to avenge Sun Ben and Han Dang.
The Sun-Liu coalition army waited for work, Mink Xiong was sick, and the army's heart was in turmoil, and a large-scale counterattack at this time seemed to be in line with the art of war.
Liu Bei was silent, but Sun Jian's eyes changed, and he seemed to be moved.
"Lord, Mink Xiong is treacherous, this time maybe he deliberately pretended to be sick and wanted to induce us to attack, in plain sight, we should be cautious." Strategist Zhang Zhao calmly reminded.
Sun Jian's body shook suddenly, remembering the painful lesson of the previous repeated tricks, he nodded and said: "Zibu's words are reasonable, Diao Xiong, this thief is extremely treacherous, and he must be guarded against." ”
Guan Yu's red face changed slightly, showing a bit of eagerness.
At this time, Liu Bei glanced at him, and said with a smile: "General Sun's words are reasonable, let's stand still, and see if it's true." ”
Guan Yu had no choice but to keep silent.
At that moment, Sun and Liu decided to act calmly and continued to stand still, but they sent scouts and meticulous work to explore the truth of Mink.
The movements of the Sun-Liu coalition army, Mink Xiong soon learned, and sure enough, as Li Yan reminded, Sun and Liu were not so easy to deceive, and even though they knew that he was "sick", they still stood still and refused to attack easily.
The enemy's reaction was expected by Mink Xiong, and then it was time to use Xu Shu's strategy.
Two days later, the army of 30,000 minks began to withdraw from the camp and returned to Yuzhou in the west.
Nominally, Mink Xiong gave the order to withdraw his troops in the name of insufficient military rations, but secretly released rumors that he was seriously ill and difficult to treat and had to withdraw his troops.
Within a few days, the 30,000-strong army of Mink Xiong withdrew from the Shouchun camp and along the Huaishui all the way west.
Moreover, the Mink Xiong army did not retreat westward in one go, but set up camp after marching twenty or thirty miles every day, showing signs of fear of being pursued by the Sun-Liu coalition army.
Three days after the withdrawal of troops, the effect that Diao Xiong wanted was finally achieved.
A few days after Mink Xiong's retreat, Sun and Liu finally raised an army of 20,000 people, followed the route of Yu Minkxiong's retreat, followed up all the way, and successively recovered the lost cities along the Huaishui.
They did not launch a large-scale pursuit, but followed more than ten miles behind the army of Diao Xiong, every time Diao Xiong abandoned a village, he entered a village, and never attacked on a large scale.
Mink Xiong was not in a hurry, if he wanted the fish to take the bait, he had to be patient enough, so he continued to retreat dozens of miles every day and continue to act.
After several days of withdrawal, on this day, Minkxiong's army finally withdrew from the Huainan territory and withdrew to twenty miles east of Fubo County.
Forty miles east of Fubo.
The soldiers of the Sun-Liu coalition army are entering an empty camp one after another.
A day ago, this large camp still belonged to Mink Xiong, and Liu Sun and Liu Jun only followed and occupied this large camp after Mink Xiong abandoned the camp and retreated westward.
In the camp, Liu Bei's Sun Jian and the others were driving side by side, inspecting the newly established camp, and their faces flashed with uncertain looks.
At this time, Guan Yu galloped over on his horse, and said excitedly: "Brother, General Sun, there is nothing to doubt, Guan Mou dares to use the head of the item to vouch, that Diao Xiong must be seriously ill and difficult to treat, it is time for us to take the opportunity to rob the camp and take revenge." ”
