Wen Chou has already made specific arrangements. According to Wen Chou's deployment, Yan Liang divided his subordinates into four parts with 5,200 subordinates.

A group of 1,000 people, led by Liu Qingtong, went to the north to ambush near the main peak of Mafu Mountain. The two divisions each had 1,200 people, led by Li Dian and Dian Wei, Li Dian was ambushed in the hill on the west side of the official road, and Dian Wei was ambushed in the forest on the east side of the official road. The remaining 2,000 people, led by Zhao Yun himself, were ambushed to the south of Li Dianbu.

The whole battle plan was as follows: after Zuo Xu led his troops to cross the river, Liu Qing let them go and waited for them to go to the ambush point of Li Dian and Dian Wei, and if Dong Zhi and Dian Wei attacked the Xu Division, Zhao Yun would stop them, and if they fled backwards, Liu Qing would block them by the river.

According to this deployment plan, Li Dian, Dong Zhi, and Liu Qing were ordered to take their own parts to the predetermined ambush location, and Zhao Yun also led 300 people to the south for a while, stopping to rest and wait. Xun Yu and Dian Wei are in the Zhao Yun Department.

Zhao Yun, Liu Qing, Li Dian, and Dong Zhi are all famous brave generals in the Wenchou army, and their subordinates are also the elite of the Wenchou army. Wen Chou sent all of them to set up an ambush, and he was determined to win this battle.

Zhao Yun and others are different, and Wen Chou is also painstaking in arranging the tasks given to them. "Poor Kou Mo Chase", the soldiers who escaped to survive are likely to burst out with strong combat effectiveness, so put the brave Liu Qing in the interception position; Among the generals, Li Dian is scheming, Dong Zhi is steady and cautious, and it is most appropriate to use the two of them as the main attack; Zhao Yun is the main general, and it is suitable to block in front.

The generals led their troops to take their positions, waiting for the left to throw themselves into the net.

The march of the left sube was not fast, and it was not until the afternoon of the next day that they reached the riverside north of Mafu Mountain. The river is not too wide, but it is also several feet, and it is not easy to cross. Fortunately, there were boats on the shore, and the left whiskers collected twelve or thirteen ships, which took half an hour. More than 1,000 steps to ride across the river.

The river is about five miles away from Mafu Mountain, Liu Qing is the closest to the river, about five or six miles apart, and Li Dian and Dong Zhi are far away, about ten miles apart. Because it is far away from the river, you can't see the crossing of the left subu. After receiving an urgent report from Liu Qing that Zuo Xu had crossed the river, Li Dian simply climbed to a high place, looked at it with extreme eyes, and looked at it from afar, only to see that the long river was like a belt, and the boat was like an ant on the river, which was not real.

After waiting for a long time, it was easy for the left beard to leave the riverbank. Assemble your team and continue to march southeast along the official road.

As I got closer, as the distance decreased, I could only see a few black dots, and slowly I could see the team clearly. Li Dian put his hand on the pergola, squinted for a while, and said, "Huh? Doesn't seem quite right. ”

There were a few partial generals who followed him to the heights, and one of them asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xun Jun said that there were only more than 3,500 thieves. You see, the procession of their march is so long. It's dusty, and it doesn't look like there are only more than 3,500 people. ”

The generals looked at it carefully and nodded yes. They have been fighting with Wen Chou for half a year, they have seen small scenes and big scenes, and they all know what it should be like when more than 1,000 people march. One said, "Look at this line of troops, the dust. It is indeed not like more than 3,500 people, but it is afraid that there are tens of thousands. ”

"Didn't Tanma say that there were only more than 3,500 people in the left beard department? Where did the tens of thousands of people come from? ”

One of them speculated and said: "Xi Cheng sent people to reconnoiter the mountains, and he had to report that there were many remnants of the Black Mountains hidden in the valleys of the Qing and Black Mountains, and there were a large number of thieves. Maybe it was Left Whisker who united some of them? ”

Li Dian frowned and said, "If that's the case, it's going to be difficult." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Our army in ambush is only 5,200 men. If there are more than 3,500 thieves, they can be attacked; If there are tens of thousands of thieves? ”

As soon as he said this, the few partiality generals suddenly woke up, and one of them said: "If there are tens of thousands of thieves, far more than me, twice as many as my department, it is indeed a bit difficult to do." Asked Li Dian, "Do you want to send someone to tell Zhao Jun and Xun Jun and ask what to do?" ”

Li Dian hesitated, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a person retort and said: "'The disaster of the three armies starts from suspicion', and you should be dedicated and brave in attacking the enemy in battle!" The deployment of setting up an ambush for the thieves was set last night, and now that the thieves are close at hand, how can they ask Zhao and Xun Erjun again? The thief is only three or four miles away from me, Zhao and Xun Erjun are three miles away from me, six miles back and forth, and when they get the order of Xu and Xun Erjun, the thief has already passed! ”

Li Xuan's words are reasonable, Li Dian knows that he is wrong, he is also known for his courage in the army, but now he is accused by Li Xuan, he is quite scornful, he doesn't like it in his heart, and reluctantly says: "It is precisely because the lieutenant told Zhao Jun that he must win this battle, so I hesitated a little." ”

"'The field of all battles. The Land of the Dead. If you die, you live, and if you are lucky, you die. Its good generals, such as sitting in a leaky boat, burning under the house, so that the wise are not able to plan, the brave are not angry, and the enemy can also suffer. 'Jun Jiang, the thief is coming, please give the order!' Li Xuan studied the art of war when he was a teenager, studied it for three years, and his achievements were not great, and he may not be called a "knowing soldier", but it is not difficult to quote a few words from the military book.

Li Dian was in his hometown, and he heard Li Gan tell them about the art of war, and knew that these sentences, including the previous sentence "The disaster of the three armies began with suspicion", were all from Wu Qi's military book, and he said in his heart: "Although Li Xuan is rude, what he said is good. If you don't attack today, you will go back and see your lord without face. That's it, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road! He quickly adjusted his mentality, made up his mind, drew his sword in his hand, and ordered, "Zhuqu prepare for war!" Wait until the thief arrives, Li Xuan leads his troops to attack first, you and others follow closely to fight, I will supervise the battle in the back, dare to retreat, cut! ”

Among the partial generals, although there are still people who are dissatisfied with Li Xuan, Li Dian's military order has been issued, and the bloody battle is ahead, but he has no time to deal with Li Xuan anymore. Everyone agreed. Li Xuan received the task of striking first, saluted, turned around and strode to prepare first.

One sentence lifted everyone's fighting spirit. Wen Chou thought that Li Dian had scheming, and it was true.

The left whisker department went to the ambush place of Li Dian and Dong Zhi.

In front of Dong Zhi's department, Li Dian beat the war drum first, ordered the attack, Li Xuan took the lead, and the dance lance led the crowd out of the hill. Immediately after, there was also a drum sound in the forest opposite, but unlike Li Dian who was supervising the formation in the rear, Dong Zhi took the lead and personally led his troops out of the forest.

From last night to now, Zuo Subu has only rested for two hours in the morning, and has walked fifty or sixty miles out of the mountains and rivers, and he has long been tired. Li Dian and Dong Zhibu recuperated for a long time, and worked hard to prepare for the attack, and only one charge stunned the left beard.

Li Dian swept the formation for the headquarters in the back, and he could see clearly, but he saw that there were tens of thousands of people in the left beard department? Five thousand people in the sky. Of the 5,000 people, at least half were old and weak women and children,—— but these were the people of the countryside who had been taken captive along the way after Zuo Xu left the valley. As for why 5,000 people can make a move of 10,000 people? But it was Zuo Xu who adopted the strategy of that strategist, bluffed, and deceived Li Dian. (To be continued.) )
