The city of Luocheng guarded the mansion, heavily guarded, before an assassin infiltrated the mansion, almost stabbed Liu Xun, now said that Liu Bei came to attack the city, here is three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post.

In the main hall of the house, more than a dozen generals surrounded a young man with a clear face, red lips and white teeth, and was looking at a sheepskin map. The map shows the distribution of the defenders in the city and the distribution of Liu Bei's army outside the city.

"Urgent!"

"Come in and read!" The young man was still looking at the map, his brow furrowed, obviously very worried.

"Young master! The front made a detailed report, Liu Bei's army got up, bypassed the city, and went straight to the official road in the south! ”

"Huh? Okay, Liu Bei is looking for his own death! Uncle, you quickly take 500 light horsemen, take the country road and go straight to Chengdu, be sure to go to Chengdu before Liu Bei, meet my father, tell him the old man, stick to the city, and when I lead the army to arrive, go out of the city and fight with me inside and outside, and annihilate the big-eared thief! Liu Xun squinted at the map in front of him and slowly clenched his sword.

When the military general heard this, he said: "Young master, we need to beware of big-eared thieves and deceit, if this person deliberately bypasses our city and intercepts and kills our army in the middle of the road, it will be too late to regret it at that time!" ”

"What General Fang said is reasonable, young lord, I think it is better to send scouts to follow Liu Beijun first, and carefully probe the report, if the thief army is indeed going to Chengdu, and there is no ambush along the way, it is not too late for our army to send troops again!"

Although Liu Xun is a young man, he is only practical and steady, and after listening to the words of the generals, he turned to say: "Order all the scouts in the city to go out of the city to investigate Liu Beijun's traces, and report back quickly if they find it!" ”

"Whoa!"

In the blink of an eye, the scout reported that Liu Beijun just went all the way south and did not make any stops. At this moment, the city of Luocheng was a little panicked, if Liu Bei arrived in Chengdu, what was the use of guarding this city with his own stick? When the lord is accountable, the son will be fine, and it is not his own people who carry the black pot?

Just when Liu Xun and Luo Cheng didn't know what to do, a piece of good news came.

"Report! When the ranger battalion inspected the place where the thieves camped, they encountered a group of elite thieves, about more than 100 people, and under the fight between the two sides, the thieves retreated in defeat, and only caught one thief army to do it carefully! A letter was also unearthed from his body. ”

"Oh? Charge up! Liu Xun was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered.

Not long after, the sound of cheering sounded at the stone steps outside the hall, and a person dressed as a Jingzhou army general was pushed and shoved by four or five personal guards.

When he arrived at the top of this hall, this person was not afraid, but just held his head high and looked at Liu Xun in the hall with contempt.

Liu Xun thought to himself that he was in a high position, how could this person actually despise him, and said angrily: "Kneel! ”

The man scolded: "Liu Xunxiaoer, you are also worthy!" ”

The four or five guards rushed up to break him down, but these four or five men clung to the man like monkeys, and could not even make him move in the slightest, let alone make him kneel.

Seeing this, a guard was helpless, and he picked up a short stick and hit this person's knee, and this person fell to his knees helplessly, and his head was full of sweat, which showed the force of this stick.

Liu Xun in the hall didn't seem to see all this, and he resolutely pulled out his sword and wiped it slowly: "Who are you?" Where does Liu Beijun be? ”

The man put his hands on the ground, knelt down on one knee, and said coldly, "Why not tell you?" A certain family is Huo Buyi of the Jingzhou Army! I was ordered by Mr. Kong Ming, the military division, to send a message to the lord, the military division brought 50,000 military horses, and brought Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun into Shu to reinforce my lord. ”

"Humph! A nameless rat who claims to be a hero! Come on, drag it down and cut off the sacrificial flag! Liu Xun put his sword into the sheath.

"Whoa!" The guards were tossed miserably by this Huo Buyi, and after listening to what was said, they were really all pleased, and they dragged Huo Buyi down the hall.

"Young lords, you can't! This person is extremely brave, presumably he should be in a prominent position in Liu Beijun, if he is tortured carefully, maybe he may know a secret or two? The square-faced general spoke.

"And let you live for a while! Come on, drag it to prison! Torture! Liu Xun commanded.

"Whoa!"

Liu Xun picked up the letter from Huo Buyi's body, looked at it carefully, and then his eyes lit up, and he shot the case: "God help me, it turns out that this Liu Xuande caught fire in the army two months ago, burned the grain and grass, and the remaining grain and grass was less than a month, so he asked Zhuge Liang for help." This letter is Zhuge Liang's reply to Liu Bei. ”

"Young master, it seems that Liu Bei bypassed my city and approached Chengdu because the food was about to run out, and he got the news of Zhuge Liang's march, so he didn't take us seriously."

"Humph! The big-eared thief deceives people too much! The herald ordered the whole army to be ready to go, and as soon as the scouts in front had returned, they would set off immediately. Liu Xun ordered.

For a time, the armies in the city packed their bags, prepared enough grain and grass, and were ready to go.

Outside the city, three Yizhou army scouts were riding back and heading straight for the city.

"Young master! The scouts in front reported back, Liu Bei led the army straight to Chengdu, collecting grain and grass along the way, only making a short stop, and going straight to Chengdu. ”

"Good! Sure enough, there is a shortage of food! Liu Xun was overjoyed, "Ordered all the armies, leaving more than 1,000 people to defend the city, and the rest of the armies sent to Chengdu to pursue the Jingzhou thief army!" ”

"Whoa!" The generals in the hall responded violently, and at that moment, Liu Xun's mind had already thought of the situation of his great victory after attacking Liu Bei with the defenders of Chengdu.

The Yizhou army moved quickly, because it had already been well prepared, and as soon as this order was given, the front army immediately went out of the south gate, went on the official road, and went straight to Chengdu in the south.

There is Longquan Mountain Range in the north of Chengdu, Liu Beijun marched to here, the official road passes through the valley, and can go to the south until Chengdu City, here is steep and abnormal, it is a good place for ambush.

The generals all thought that this place was a good place for ambushes, and Liu Bei also intended to ambush Liu Xunjun here.

Pang Tong was opposed to setting up an ambush here, and Liu Bei was puzzled: "Why is it not appropriate to set up an ambush here?" Huo Yi was also puzzled and looked at Pang Tong.

"My lord! If the lord is Liu Xun, what will he think when he gets here? Pang Tong smiled but did not speak.

Hearing this, Huo Yi suddenly became enlightened, yes, although this place is steep and the best place for ambushes, the enemy must also take precautions.

"I will scout the rangers and go into the valley to find out if there is an ambush! Oh...... The military advisor Takami. Liu Bei smiled, "So where does the military advisor think our army should ambush?" ”

Pang Tong was still silent, and turned his head to look at Huo Yi: "What does General Huo think?" ”

"Back to the lord and the military division, the last general thinks that one or two miles away from the south of this valley can ambush the soldiers! When the enemy enters the valley, he must concentrate and be on abnormal alert, but the spirit of the valley will inevitably be released. ”

Liu Bei's white face suddenly showed a smile: "I have the second secretary because God wants me to revive the Han family, what a genius!" ”

Pang Tong also laughed: "Lord! General Huo can be said to be full of military books, worthy of being a general, and it can be described as a blessing for the lord to have this insight at such an age! ”

Huo Yi was embarrassed in his heart, he was just offering a plan, and he was so praised by Feng Xiao, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart. Just when Huo Yi was in infinite reverie in his heart, Pang Tong's remarks brought Huo Yi back to reality.

"But General Huo is still young after all, and he has experienced few battles! Lord, if our army ambushes our troops one or two miles outside this valley, and the Yizhou army sees that it has been ambushed and runs back, what will our army do? Pang Tong asked rhetorically.

At this moment, Huo Yi was really impressed by Pang Tong's wisdom, and he ignored the ancients because he had a historical lesson of two thousand years, and regarded the wisdom of the ancients as nothing.
