Liu Cong said, turned his face and instructed Ma Gong'er: "Prepare the horse!" Then he instructed Zhou Cang: "Send someone to expire and take out 200 arrows with feathers and hand them to Liang Zhu'er to carry." Well, also, carrying the sturdy and beautiful mulberry bow, took four of them, and handed them to Liang Zhu'er to carry. ”

Zhou Cang hurriedly sent someone to do it.

Liu Cong also instructed Zhou Cangxing Daorong: "The next blocking battle will be carried out according to the plan you designed." Got it. ”

Zhou Cangxing Daorong looked at each other for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "The last general obeys the order." ”

Liu Cong instructed again: "From here to Xinye, about two hundred miles. Along the way, the mountains are undulating, and the roadside is full of dense forests and shrubs, and it is really a good place for you to block the march of Cao Bing.

I don't think you will have a problem blocking it for five days. Well, but, if you can't stop it, let Cao Bing go over, and when you get to Xinye City, I have my own strategy to break the enemy. ”

Zhou Cangxing Daorong agreed again.

Liu Cong instructed here, and when he looked down the mountain, he saw that Cao Bing had already sent a scout horse team over, so he ordered: "I will take the first step and go to Xinye to arrange the military, you can prepare." Well, I think, don't set up an ambush too close to here for the first time, go out thirty or fifty miles.

When I got there, it was a dense forest, a forest that stretched for thirty or forty miles, and the road was narrow, so it was better to set up an ambush there for the first time. ”

Liu Cong promised to do so.

Liu Cong continued: "The ambush site is too close, and Cao Bing came over to see that it was difficult to march, and it was likely that he would take a detour. So let's put the ambush in the woods. ”

After Liu Cong finished speaking, he saw that Liang Zhu'er had already tied the arrow and mulberry wooden bow to the horse, so he ordered: "Get on the horse and march in the direction of Xinye." After saying that, he waved his hand at Zhou Cangxing Daorong, turned over on the horse, and took Liang Zhu'er and Lai Fat Ma Pole to embark on the road to Xinye.

After Liu Cong walked more than a dozen steps, Liu Cong turned around again, rode his horse to the top of the hillside, looked at Cao Bing for a while, turned his face to Zhou Cang and said, "More than 20 war horses have come up, which may make the scouts sent by Xiahou Yuan over."

Do not be anxious, but set up an ambush here, and when the scouts come, they will rush up and capture them alive.

Not only can he capture twenty or thirty war horses, but he can also scare Xiahou Yuan into not daring to enter, at least he can wait until tomorrow before he can launch an attack again. In this way, you can still stop Cao's soldiers here for two days.

Well, take your time. Preparing for an ambush, I'm leaving. ”

Liu Cong said, turned the horse's head, and slowly walked in the direction of Xinye.

After Liu Cong left, Zhou Cangxing Daorong followed Liu Cong's instructions and sent most of the soldiers and horses to rest in concealment, leaving 200 elite soldiers to ambush on both sides of the road on the top of Queweipo.

After the Cao soldiers scouts came, Zhou Cang gave an order, Xing Daorong led a hundred men and horses to pour out from the left side of the road, and Zhou Cang led a hundred men and horses to pour out from the right. Then he reorganized his team and prepared to block Xiahou Yuan's attack for two more days.

Besides, Liu Cong and his party of four, after leaving the Queweipo Pass, traveled all the way, and before it was dark, they entered the dense forest where they were going to set up an ambush in Zhoucang.

Liu Cong rode in front, and as he walked, he observed the place where Zhou Cang had set up an ambush.

Because the last time he came, Liu Cong had already roughly set up the ambush place, and left marks on the trunks.

When Zhou Cang sent a baggage team to transport the wounded soldiers back to Xinye, he had already arranged for an adjutant general to lead the troops to inspect various marked locations, so when Liu Cong came over, Jingzhou sentries came to follow.

Along the way, Liu Cong saw more than 20 ambush locations, and he knew that Zhou Cangxing Daorong would definitely block Cao Bing for five days. So he ordered his three servants: "Hurry up." Before dark, camp in front of the battlement mountain, fifty miles away. ”

Liu Cong said, let the fat man go to the front first, walk in the middle by himself, and hurry up.

As soon as Liang Zhu'er behind him heard Liu Cong say that he wanted to stay in the forest in front of the battlement mountain, he thought a little more, and while riding a horse, he turned his face sideways and asked Ma Jiao'er: "Boy, do you know why the second master rushed to stay in front of the battlement mountain?" ”

Although Ma Zhuer is a good kung fu, he has always been honest and never cares about things outside of his job. Unlike Liang Zhuer and Lai Fatzi, they dare to say anything, as long as there are no outsiders in front of Liu Cong, they often joke with Liu Cong, and especially like to talk about women with Liu Cong.

At this time, Ma Zhu'er listened to Liang Zhu'er's words, like an unopened gourd, shook his head a few times, and didn't even open his mouth, just looked at Liu Cong in front of him, and followed closely.

Liang Zhuer no longer had a person to talk to, so he said regretfully: "I regret that I shouldn't have arranged the fat man to the front, and there was not even a person to speak." ”

Liang Zhu'er said this, and then looked at Ma Zhu'er, and saw that Ma Zhu'er still ignored himself. He muttered: "I'll tell you the truth, the second master slept with the girl who picked up mushrooms for five days, and he had a full stomach in the past few days, and he wanted to go back to vent." You get the idea, right? ”

Ma Zhu'er just sighed twice, still looking at the way ahead, Liang Zhu'er was anxious, and scolded: "You don't even care about the second master's play with women, it's really not a thing!" ”

This sentence startled Ma Zhu'er, and he turned his head, but only coughed, and did not even let out a fart, and turned his head to look forward at the road.

Liang Zhu'er didn't care about scolding him, and asked casually: "Do you know where the mushroom-picking girl lives?" ”

Liang Zhu'er looked at Ma Zhu'er and still didn't reply, so he said, "I'll tell you, boy, you live in the dense forest in front of the battlement mountain." I'm afraid that the second master is anxious, and he won't be able to go back tonight.

Haha, there is no way, the second master will live in the woods tonight and sleep in a tent for the night.

Hey, Ma Pole, do you think the second master can suffocate tonight?

The tent tastes unpleasant. You know what. Ma pole, I'm afraid that the second master will be suffocated, and I'm worried. ”

Ma Zhu'er turned his face and muttered: "Find him a tree hole to vent!" ”

Liang Zhu'er saw that Ma Zhu'er said such beautiful words, so he snorted and laughed, and even snort sprayed on the horse's mane, so he wiped his snot and scolded him: "Good boy, I'll go ahead and tell the second master, just say that you have a good idea, ask him to drill the tree hole tonight." See if he beats you or not. ”

Liang Zhu'er said this, and when he looked at Ma Zhu'er again, he saw that Ma Zhu'er was like nothing, Liang Zhu'er knew that he couldn't scare him, so he deliberately asked loudly: "Can you find such a smooth tree hole for the second master?" ”

Liu Cong listened to the Liang Zhu'er in front of him talking and laughing, so he couldn't help but turn around and scold: "Zhang Luo, don't hurry up!" ”

As soon as Liang Zhu'er heard Liu Cong take over, he hurriedly handed over a sentence: "Second master, it's getting dark, no matter how fast you go, you won't be able to pick up mushrooms tonight!" ”

Liu Cong also burst out laughing when he heard it, and scolded: "I won't pick up mushrooms when it's dark." I don't believe it, if I don't eat mushrooms tonight, will I still be able to sleep? ”

Liang Zhu'er picked it up and said, "Second master, don't worry, I guarantee that you can sleep well." Ma Zhu'er said, when the time comes, he will find you a smooth tree hole, and please go to sleep in the tree hole. ”

Of course, Liu Cong knew what Liang Zhu'er meant, so he laughed, and after laughing for a while, he scolded: "Grass! Zhu'er, you just have to talk nonsense. When you get to your lodgings, see how I whip you with a horsewhip. ”081
