In Zhou Yu's opinion, in terms of the entire battle situation, it can be said that it can disrupt the original layout of Cao Cao's army, and it can also be said that it has won a small victory from the strategic aspect.

The war will always accumulate one by one small thing, and great changes will occur, Zhou Yu does not mind cooperating with Pang Tong and creating some more variables for the tens of thousands of Cao troops left by the garrison, but as far as Zhou Yu, the perfect idea, is concerned, the next step is to lead the army out and be a complete success in the first battle.

Zhou Yu knew that this was his first battle in Jingxiang, before Pang Shanmin had food and wealth, and the elite soldiers and strong generals allocated countless Xu Du, Zhou Yu felt that his hands would no longer be as stretched as he was in Jiangdong before, and after Pang Shanmin gave Zhou Yu the tiger talisman seal, he was allowed to play freely and act cheaply, that is to say, Zhou Yu had no restraints.

You can fight as much as you want.

This feeling made Zhou Yu feel refreshed.

Looking at the map on the case, Zhou Yu quickly fell into thought, Huang Zhong didn't dare to bother when he saw this, but looking at Zhou Yu's concentrated appearance, the old general couldn't help but feel a little more confident in his heart.

This is Koto Shuro! Although Lu Xun used troops, he was also full of wisdom, but Zhou Yu represented the pinnacle of Jiangdong's use of troops before, if you talk about the past achievements, Zhou Yu, who assisted Sun Ce to pacify Jiangdong, is second only to Cao Ying's words of ten victories and ten defeats, leading to a great victory for Guandu.

The old man also wants to see what kind of ghost and god methods this elegant Zhou Gongjin has! Huang Zhongyu muttered silently in his heart, but saw that Zhou Yu's eyes had left the map, and Zhou Yu pondered for a moment. smiled at Huang Zhong and said: "This time Yu wants to make the old general sit in the Chinese army, take Li Yan and Huo Jun, two generals, all the way to the Tiger Prison and meet Shi Yuan, I don't know what the old general thinks?" ”

"The old man is only a martial artist, but the military advisor has an order, and he must obey it!" Huang Zhong said that, he left the mansion and looked for Li Yan. Huo Jun left. Zhou Yu saw that Huang Zhong was walking like a tiger and a dragon, as fast as the wind, and he knew in his heart that the old general was excited in the face of such a big battle.

Look at the map on the case again. Zhou Yu smiled slightly. If the army of Xu Du rushes to the tiger prison. Along the way, he also had to pass through the boundary of Chenliu, and Zhou Yu knew that Cao Jun would not sit idly by and watch Xu Du's military horses join forces with the Xiliang Army to fight against Cao Jun.

So when Zhou Yu dispatched troops. did not summon the generals in the city who were good at commanding the cavalry to go on the expedition, but prepared to take 20,000 foot soldiers in the city and go to the tiger prison.

Zhou Yu felt that Pang Tong's command was all elite cavalry, but if there was a large-scale legion competition, a single cavalry would not be a good thing, and more infantry troops could also make the tactics of the army more changeable, and Zhou Yu had already dealt with the obstruction of the Cao army that might be encountered, unless Cao Cao Chenliu's army poured out of the nest and besieged the 20,000 troops and horses of Xu Du, otherwise, if he wanted to eat these 20,000 military horses, it would be enough to break the teeth of the Cao army!

In the early morning of the next day, the gate of Xudu was opened, and after Zhou Yu entrusted the city defense to the deputy general, he personally led the army and rushed to the tiger prison.

20,000 troops and horses were mighty, out of the city, as soon as they entered the boundary of Chenliu, there were Cao army scouts, seeing Zhou Lang's banner, busy flying horses galloped towards Chenliucheng, and informed Cao Cao of Zhou Yu's movements.

"It's coming very fast!"

When Cao Cao heard that Zhou Yu's army had arrived in Chenliu, he was shocked, and hurriedly summoned Guo Jia to come, and said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao thinks that Zhong Da can stop Zhou Yu's army and horses from joining Pang Tong?" ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he frowned and thought.

Although Zhou Yu's Xu Du soldiers and horses came quickly, they could all scout returns, and their troops were all foot soldiers, if the cavalry went to and from the Tiger Prison, Xu Du, the rapid march only took more than one day, but the infantry army traveled from Xu Du to the Tiger Prison, not to mention three days.

Zhou Yu's actions really made Guo Jia feel confused, could it be that Zhou Yu, who is proficient in the art of war, forgot the truth of the speed of soldiers during the war? And Zhou Yu's military horses walked cautiously, so that when he arrived at the tiger prison, three days was far from enough.

What is Zhou Yu's plan this time?

Guo Jia also thought of Zhou Yu's actions, which was to make the Tiger Prison Pass in the West and the Liang Cavalry in the future more changeable, but for Jing Xiang, there is no shortage of war horses, even if the foot soldiers get on the horse and rush to the Tiger Prison, these tens of thousands of war horses are nothing more than the left hand for the right hand, and the Tiger Prison is transferred from Xu Du, and in the end it is owned by Jing Xiang.

Therefore, Zhou Yu must have other plans when he acts like this!

Guo Jia pondered for a long time, and said to Cao Cao: "Zhou Yu's actions this time, I am afraid that I have already expected that I will be hindered by our army along the way, and I am only looking for safety. Cheng believes in Zhong Da quite a lot, this person has made a lot of contributions over the years, and he must have dealt with Zhou Yu in the face of it! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded slightly, but in Cao Cao's heart, it was Zhang Liao who trusted him more, since he saw Sima Yi for the first time, Cao Cao didn't treat this wolf-looking person very well in his heart.

A hundred miles outside the Tiger Prison Pass, a new village was set up in a hurry for half a day, standing on the only way for Xu Du to go to the Tiger Prison.

Zhang Liao and Sima Yi learned about the movements of Zhou Yu's army and horses earlier than Cao Cao, and now that they learned of the arrival of Zhou Yu's army and horses, Zhang Liao ordered the scouts to investigate more, and at the same time discussed with Sima Yi how to break the enemy.

Zhou Yu's move also puzzled Sima Yi.

The congenital disadvantage of the infantry army is that it is slow to move, and it is unbearable to be disturbed by cavalry, Zhou Yu was originally to go to the tiger prison and join forces with Pang Tong, in Sima Yi's opinion, his actions should be urgent, but the 20,000 foot soldiers, traveling dozens of miles a day, gave Sima Yi the feeling that it was just an ordinary transfer of troops from Jing Xiang.

Sima Yi is suspicious by nature, and after some thought, it is even more difficult to decide, and he faintly feels in his heart that this Zhou Yu's army should have a backhand, but what is the means, Sima Yi is puzzled......

Zhang Liao saw Sima Yi contemplating his eyebrows, anxious in his heart, and said to Sima Yi: "Mr. Zhongda, should Zhang send troops to stop it?" ”

"Wen Yuan, don't be anxious, you have to get a glimpse of Zhou Yu's plan before you can make a plan!" Hearing this, Sima Yi shook his head slightly, and after pondering for a while, he said to Zhang Liao: "You can send a small group of cavalry to make a nuisance, and see how Zhou Yu responds first." ”

Zhang Liao nodded slightly when he heard this, and immediately ordered the general to lead more than 100 cavalry, disturbing the actions of Xudu's military horses along the way, the cavalry left at noon, returned at dusk, and returned to the cavalry, only half of them remained.

Zhang Liao and Sima Yi didn't look at these injuries, and when the general returned, Sima Yi hurriedly asked: "Then Zhou Yu's military horses, how is the military situation?" ”

"The march is slow, but there is no mistake!" The general said, his frightened expression did not change, and said to Sima Yi: "It's just that there are many people in his army who are good at shooting, and the soldiers and horses led by the lower station have not had time to raid, but many soldiers have fallen under the random arrows......"

"Is it just a step-by-step process?" When Sima Yi heard this, his brows furrowed, and he muttered: "Zhou Yu is abnormal, but it is difficult for people to see his true purpose!" ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "Then Zhong Da thinks that how about robbing the camp at night?" ”

"Even the harassing cavalry is difficult to break through the chaos of its army, Zhou Yu has been using troops for many years, how can he not prevent night attacks?" Sima Yi said and said after a long time: "Could it be that Zhou Yu only plans to fight with my army, and he can't fight in a dignified battle?" ”

"Even if you fight with dignity, you won't be afraid of him!" Zhang Liao said, Sima Yi nodded, but it was difficult to let go of Xu Du's bizarre actions one after another.

At dawn the next day, there was a scout saying that Zhou Yu's soldiers and horses had pulled out of the village early in the morning and continued to go to the tiger prison, Zhang Liao heard this, his heart was quite impatient, and said to Sima Yi: "Dozens of miles a day, a few days later, it will also reach the tiger prison, the prime minister and Mr. Fengxiao are afraid of the convergence of their two armies, and we should now obstruct Zhou Yu's army!" ”

"What Wen Yuan said is extremely true."

Sima Yi said, thought for a moment, put aside the worries in his heart, and said to Zhang Liao: "You and I will order all the troops and horses, and only leave 5,000 soldiers to guard the camp!" ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, he was busy gathering the army, but in a few moments, more than 20,000 Cao Ying's military horses came out of the village.

By noon, Zhang Liao's army happened to be far away from Zhou Yu's army and horses in the wilderness.

Zhou Yu saw that Zhang Liao's army was in good formation, smiled slightly, and did not urge the army to engage the enemy, but ordered a group of soldiers to line up and defend it. Under Zhou Yu's order, Xu Du's military horses moved calmly, and after a while, the shield soldiers were in front and the archers were behind, looking like they were waiting for each other.

Seeing this, Sima Yi was even more curious, seeing that Zhang Liao urged him to step forward, and Sima Yi also followed closely.

The two galloped a few steps, Zhang Liao looked at Zhou Yu from afar, and said to Zhou Yu: "Zhou Gongjin, this road is not passable!" ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, he only smiled slightly, seeing that Huang Zhong wanted to urge his crotch to get off the war horse and fight with Zhang Liao, Zhou Yu looked sideways at Huang Zhong and said, "Old general, don't be impatient." ”

"Mr. Gongjin, aren't we going to join Mr. Shiyuan? Now break through the enemy army and you can go all the way! Huang Zhong looked puzzled, but saw Zhou Yu and said with a smile: "Zhou Mouguan Cao's army is in strict formation, if it is forcibly broken through, our army will also lose a lot, if the army is damaged too much, I will wait for the tiger prison, and it will not help Shiyuan much!" ”

"When the military division goes out of the city, why don't you bring more military horses?" When Huang Zhong heard this, he was quite puzzled, Zhou Yu only smiled slightly and said: "Xu Du cannot afford to lose, and in this battle Zhang Liao, we are not the main force!" ”

"Mr. Gong Jin, didn't he hide the military horse before?" When Huang Zhong heard this, his face was overjoyed, but he saw Zhou Yu shaking his head slightly and said: "The old general is with Zhou, and Cao Jun is here." ”

When Huang Zhong heard this, he didn't say anything more, but Zhang Liao on the other side was quite annoyed when he saw this.

Xu Du's military horses turned a deaf ear to Zhang Liao's words, that is, they did not fight, nor retreated, so the two armies were based on each other, wouldn't it be a waste of time? And Xu Du's military horses are ready to fight, if they attack the enemy now, I am afraid it will be difficult to find a victory.

On the huge open space, there were only Zhang Liao and Sima Yi left, and Zhang Liao was naturally depressed and angry.

Zhang Liao was about to make another provocative speech, but when he saw Sima Yi's face change rapidly, Zhang Liao was about to ask, so he heard Sima Yi say: "Wen Yuan, quickly change the front army into the rear army, and slowly retreat!" ”

"What?" When Zhang Liao heard this, he was shocked, and Sima Yi hurriedly said: "Now I am not in a hurry to explain, if Yi is not bad, Zhou Yu is here to use it as a bait to keep my army away from the camp!" (To be continued......)
