Liu Cong squatted in the dark like this, wide-eyed and patrolling around, trying to find out the location of the assassin,

However, there was a fire flickering and extinguishing nearby, and I couldn't see anything clearly not far from the fire, and I really couldn't see where I was at the moment.

Liu Cong and Liang Zhu'er observed for a while, and Xu Sheng was ambushed not far away and kept unmoving, which made Liu Cong and their efforts in vain.

However, Liu Cong still had a way to find the assassin, and based on the direction of the arrow and the situation of the wounded soldiers, he concluded that he was close at the moment, so he ordered Liang Zhu'er in a low voice: "Take a hundred men and horses, search to the right, the assassin is in that direction." Liu Cong pointed to the bushes on the right with his hand and said,

Liang Zhu'er took out his waist knife, made a move back, and ordered: "Come up with a hundred shield soldiers, quickly." "Shout out, go ahead, and search with a hundred shields,

At this time, Xu Sheng couldn't hide his body, and shouted in a low voice: "Withdraw with me." After shouting, he got up and fled in the other direction, and took a detour to flee to the place where his men and horses were concentrated.

Seeing the assassin fleeing, Liang Zhu'er shouted: "The assassin is here, chase him." "Take the lead in wielding a waist knife to chase and kill the past,

When Liu Cong saw it, he didn't know how many assassins there were, and he was worried that Liang Zhu'er would suffer a loss, so he waved his hand and led his troops to chase after him.

When Liu Cong and Liang Zhu'er stopped in a big circle in the dark, Xu Sheng had already returned to his hiding place, and along the way he saw the battlefield situation, knew that Wu Bing was defeated, and also knew that he had lost the opportunity to assassinate the commander-in-chief of Jingzhou Bing, so he decided to lead his troops to escape, "The governor of the capital does not know whether he is alive or dead, Zhou Tailing and Zhu Ran are nowhere to be seen, who knows whether it is dead or alive, the situation in the camp is seen, our army is dead and fleeing, and the rest is my 5,000 men and horses, what are you waiting for, when it is dawn, they have become Liu Cong's prisoners." ”

So, Xu Sheng quietly commanded the team, followed him to the west to escape, and after preparing to escape from the camp, he made a detour to the Pingding Mountain area to escape, "As long as we enter the mountainous area, Liu Cong's men and horses can't help us, and our army can retreat to Chaisang City." ”

So, Xu Sheng himself walked in front with his own soldiers, and fled to the west of the camp by the light of the fire that was clearly extinguished.

Before this, Zhou Yu and Zhou Tai had already escaped from this road.

At this time, Wang Sheng, the general of the Jingzhou army, discovered Xu Sheng's fleeing team, and chased after him with his five thousand men and horses.

The men and horses in front of the Wu soldiers who fled at the front were Zhou Yu's group.

When Zhou Yu fled, it was the most intense time when the two armies were fighting.

Zhou Yu saw the way and knew that he would definitely lose, so he decided to flee first.

This general who can fight will not only lead the troops to fight, but also will be able to make a decisive decision at the right time, but also will see the development of the battlefield, and more importantly, he must know in advance that he can win or lose, what to do if he wins, what to do if he loses,

If you can't see in advance whether you win or lose, and if you don't prepare to win or lose in advance, you're really not a good general.

Zhou Yu is a metropolitan governor who is prepared to win or lose in advance.

When Sun Quan entrusted the important affairs here to Zhou Yu and returned to Chaisang to recuperate, Zhou Yu planned here.

The general strategic policy he formulated for garrisoning the Yuputan camp was to "respond to all changes with the same".

Under normal circumstances, he sticks to the big camp, as long as he holds the big camp, Liu Cong can't attack Chaisang through the Pingdingshan Grand Canyon.

If Liu Cong made a detour to attack Chaisang, it would definitely not work, because starting from Wuchang and arriving at Chaisang City, there was the rolling Yangtze River on the left, and Zeguo, the water town on the right, and there was no serious road to Chaisang on both sides.

The only passage is this mesa canyon,

This general strategic policy, which is unchanged to adapt to all changes, was formulated according to the actual geographical situation, and was formulated by Sun Quan and Zhou Yu.

According to this general policy, Zhou Yu made a plan, and he held Liu Cong here, waiting for the situation to change.

Because the battle between the two armies is ostensibly a contest between the strength of the two armies, but in fact it is a comparison of the will and strength of the two armies.

Zhou Yu is ready to hold on with Liu Cong forever,

Zhou Yu felt that he was the main and Liu Cong was the guest, and if he held each other for a long time, the weakness of the guest army would be exposed.

Although the plan is very good, but in the actual implementation, I am afraid that there are still mistakes, just in case, Zhou Yu made two plans,

He planned that he and Liu Cong would hold each other to the end, if he won Liu Cong, he would immediately lead his troops to attack Wuchang, and after recovering Wuchang, he would rest his men and horses, replenish the grain and straw, so as to facilitate the re-fight and conquer Jiangxia.

If the battle does not go well, if the Yuputan camp cannot hold it, then retreat to Chaisang City,

For this matter, Zhou Yu spent a few days to investigate the geographical situation around the Yuputan camp clearly, and arranged a path for himself to advance or retreat.

He found that in addition to the Pingdingshan Grand Canyon that can go directly to Chaisang City, there is also a mountain path that can also reach Chaisang City.

At that time, he brought the generals over to familiarize himself with this road, and prepared the necessary supplies and soldiers and horses for the retreat at the dangerous points of this road.

Now, all the generals took advantage of the night to flee here, Zhou Yu first fled to a safe place with his own soldiers, and stayed here, waiting to observe the development of the war situation behind.

When Xu Sheng led his troops to flee to Pingding to kill halfway up the mountain, Wang Sheng, the general of Jingzhou soldiers, also led his troops to chase down the mountain.

At this time, the sky is already hazy, and the road under your feet can be seen clearly.

Wang Sheng looked up and saw that there was mist in the mountains, the flat-topped peaks in front of him were faintly exposed in the mist, and the sky on the left side of the flat-topped mountain was slightly exposed to the white of the fish belly.

There was no trace of Wu soldiers in front of him, but only the foggy mountains, as if there was a hidden murderous intention, Wang Sheng stopped, ordered the soldiers to stop the pursuit, rest on the spot, and then sent scouts back to the camp to report to the lord,

Besides, when Zhou Yu fled to his own military station halfway up Pingdingshan, it was the second watch of the sky.

This military station was built on an open land on the mountainside, with a piece of land that was more than ten acres large, covered with more than 20 grass houses, stationed more than 200 soldiers, and stored a large amount of grain and grass.

So after Zhou Yu came here, he rested with confidence.

Besides, the military station on this half-mountainside is easy to defend and difficult to attack, only there are roads passing through at both ends, and troops are sent to defend these two intersections, even if there are millions of soldiers in Jingzhou, it is difficult to cross with wings.

Therefore, after Zhou Yu arrived, he put up sentry posts at both ends, and then went into the house himself, ordered the kitchen to make a delicious meal, and arranged for the soldiers to have dinner, and then lay down to rest, 183
