Zhang Fei was very surprised, he knew that his second brother was an extremely arrogant person, especially in martial arts, in the entire Han world, few people could enter his eyes, but now, Guan Yu actually attached so much importance to Wang Chong, who was only in his twenties and had never even been masked, it was really surprising.

"The second general is right!" Xu Shu followed Guan Yu's words and said solemnly, "Since Wang Chong was born last year, he has occupied Huainan in just one year with the body of a thief, and now he has even laid down half of Jiangdong. ”

Seeing Xu Shu's evaluation of Wang Chong so high, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh dejectedly, there is a saying that people are more popular than dead people, thinking that he is the uncle of the Han Emperor, the roots are red, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it has been a full sixteen years, and the result is still no fixed place to live today, and what about Wang Chong? However, he has become one of the best princes in the world in such a short period of time, and compared with him, Liu Bei suddenly felt that he had lived to a dog all these years.

Xu Shu was keenly aware of Liu Bei's depressed will, so he added: "But that Wang Shaolin is finally undefeatable, and his large-scale slaughter family has buried a huge hidden danger for himself, unless he can continue to be so invincible, otherwise a single heavy defeat is very likely to make the turbulence hidden in the shadows completely explode, swallowing him to the point that there is not even a bone left, and in this world, no one can be undefeated forever, so don't look at the lord Jinfan is now strong and strong, and the momentum is like a rainbow, but in fact." They won't be arrogant for long! ”

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this: "Is this true? ”

Xu Shu nodded and said, "It's true!" ”

However, although Xu Shu said very surely, he didn't have much confidence in his heart, he said this. It's just to restore Liu Bei's self-confidence.

And with Xu Shu's assurance, Liu Bei's mood really improved a lot.

Now Liu Bei has already had a kind of blind trust in Xu Shu, not only because Xu Shu's previous strategy helped him easily defeat Man Zhong and Cao Hong, but also because of the tone that Xu Shu said when he first met Liu Bei, almost every word and sentence knocked on Liu Bei's heart.

"Now the Han dynasty is in turmoil. Emperor Xian was trapped in Xudu, like a bird in a cage, and Jinfan was a bandit. Cao Cao is a national thief, and the general Yuan Shao has long since failed to take the Han family into account, and looking at the rest of the Han family, Liu Biao is old and frail. Unable to sustain it. Liu Zhang has no ambitions, only knows pleasure, and is not worthy of great responsibilities, only Xuande Gong can truly take on the important task of revitalizing the Han family! ”

Since that day, Liu Bei has tried his best to override public opinion and directly make Xu Shu a military advisor, and since then he has obeyed his words. After all, after all these years, Liu Bei had long had enough of the pain of not having a top strategist around him. If a few years earlier, he could have been assisted by a talent like Xu Shu by his side, why would he be so depressed today?

"Military division, back to the point, now Jinfan is menacing, now that Ruyin has passed, the soldiers will come to the city in less than three days, I don't know what the military division has to retreat from the enemy?"

Liu Bei looked at Xu Shu with a wistful face, and suddenly Xu Shu felt so stressed, after thinking about it, he still said honestly: "Jinfan soldiers are strong and strong, and Shu is not completely sure of victory, so the lord needs to be prepared with both hands, and once the war is unfavorable, he should quickly withdraw from Runan and go to Jingzhou!" ”

Xu Shu's answer somewhat disappointed Liu Bei, but he didn't say anything, after all, although Xu Shu was resourceful, Liu Bei would not be naïve to think that Xu Shu alone could make him invincible in an instant and invincible in the world.

――――――――――――――――――――――

The fifth year of Jian'an, August 9.

Wang Chong led his troops to settle in Xincai, and there were only less than 100 miles left from Ancheng, where Liu Bei was located.

Wang Chong came to Jia Xu to discuss: "How about Wenhe?" Has there been any news from Anseong these days? ”

Jia Xu's face was a little not good-looking: "That Xu Yuanzhi is thoughtful, in the past two days, there has not even been any news from the dark department, and even the sentinels sent out have all gone, thinking that the other party has completely sealed the area around Ancheng, and it is too difficult for us to get the internal information of the other party!" ”

Wang Chong frowned subconsciously, but soon stretched out again, and said with a smile: "Forget it, if you don't know, you don't know, I want to see what tricks Xu Yuanzhi can play in the face of absolute strength!" ”

Jia Xu also smiled: "The lord is open-minded!" ”

"What else else?" Wang Chong shrugged his shoulders, "Okay, you should go down and rest early, starting tomorrow, the battle will officially begin!" ”

"No!" Jia Xu saluted Wang Chong and walked away slowly.

Early in the morning of the second day, the 15,000 Jinfan army assembled at the West Gate of Xincai and slaughtered Ben Ancheng in a mighty manner.

Three hours later, the army marched to a valley, where the road was narrow, the mountains were steep, and the foliage was thick, and it was an excellent ambush spot.

Wang Chong put his hands on his eyebrows, looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, and muttered to himself: "The scorching sun is on the head, the climate is dry, and today is conducive to fire attacks." ”

So he called a local farmer and asked, "If you want to go to Anseong from here, is there any other option besides the valley in front of you?" ”

The farmer raised his hand and pointed: "There is a mountain road ten miles to the south, and you can go directly to Rushui after passing it!" ”

Rusu is located on the east side of Anseong, and once you cross Rusu, Anseong will be completely exposed to Jinfan's soldiers.

"Oh?" Wang Chong's face was overjoyed, and he asked, "Can this mountain road allow my army to pass?" ”

The farmer replied, "The mountain road is not steep, and it allows three people to walk side by side, so it is not a big problem!" ”

Wang Chong's spirit was shocked, and he said to Ding Feng behind him: "Pass my general's order, the army will turn around and go south, let's bypass this valley and take another mountain road!" ”

"Slow down!" At this time, Jia Xu suddenly opened his mouth and stopped Ding Feng.

Wang Chong asked Jia Xu suspiciously: "Wenhe, didn't you find something wrong?" ”

Jia Xu said meaningfully: "Lord, this valley is convenient for setting up ambushes, and with Xu Yuanzhi's wisdom, he should have expected that I wouldn't dare to rush through this valley, right?" ”

Wang Chong's face changed, and he immediately reacted: "Wen He said that Xu Shu is very likely to plan and set up an ambush on the mountain road in the south?" ”

Jia Xu nodded: "I just heard the farmer say that the mountain road in the south can accommodate three people walking side by side, such a spacious road, how can the other party not know the reason?" ”

"In other words, the valley in front of you may be safe?"

Jia Xu shook his head: "That's not necessarily, but what the specific situation is, the lord sent someone inside to investigate, it should be clear!" ”

Wang Chong pondered for a moment, then called Le Jin and said: "Wen Qian, you should lead a thousand soldiers and horses to explore the truth of this valley, be careful, if you find something wrong, quickly withdraw from the valley!" ”

"No!" (To be continued.) )
