Lu Meng was the vanguard, Chen Ji was the deputy general, and the Jiangdong Army launched a pursuit, but the speed of this pursuit was not flattering, not fast or slow, but like a leisurely stroll, and it seemed that there was no idea of taking life.

Han Lin had long since disappeared, and Cao Bao kept sighing: "Why is the governor like this, how can he catch up like this?" If Han Lin is let out, there will be branches! ”

He was indeed a little angry, secretly wondering if Zhou Yu didn't want him to establish meritorious deeds, for fear that he would overshadow his prestige, but now that the situation is stronger than others, he didn't have the courage to turn his face with Zhou Yu, so he could only complain helplessly.

Zhou Yu looked at him and suddenly smiled: "Do you think Yu Ban is really defenseless?" ”

Cao Bao was completely stunned: "We are coming suddenly, how can he know in advance?" It can't be, right? ”

Zhou Yu's eyes were deep, and he said, "Don't you think something is wrong?" First of all, if the Yanzhou army was really defenseless, then Xiaocheng should be in a normal state, with a surging flow of people, why did we close the gate when we arrived? And not only the city gates, even the city did not have the slightest movement, there were not a few people, and some were all closed, and there was no sign of chaos on the streets. ”

Although Cao Bao is not a resourceful person, he is also a good hand at marching and fighting, and when he heard this, he suddenly understood: "In this way, Xiao Cheng is indeed very weird, is there really a fraud?" ”

He was a little shaken in his heart, but he still didn't dare to be sure, Zhou Yu smiled again: "If you change the general to defend the city, without the order of the commander, do you dare to abandon the city and flee at will?" ”

Cao Bao thought for a while and said, "No!" Escaping from battle is a capital offense, and I should have sent troops for help while defending the city! ”

"That's it!" Zhou Yu said: "Although Xiao Cheng's defensive strength is insufficient, we haven't come up with many siege equipment, according to the situation of Fang Cai, Han Lin has no problem holding on for most of the day, and he also said before that the city is in the city and people are dying, but he led the people away without even breaking the city gate, isn't this an inconsistency?" Besides, they retreated too simply, as if everything had been prepared in advance, and if there is nothing mysterious in this, do you believe it? ”

Now, Cao Bao was suddenly terrified: "It's still the governor of wisdom, I was almost deceived!" ”

He broke out in a cold sweat, he really didn't notice that if he pursued rashly, he would probably fall into the trap of the enemy, and then everything would be over.

"Zhou Yu is so thoughtful, he can see through the overall situation from a little thing, it seems that I am not unjustly defeated, don't mess with this person in the future!" Cao Bao secretly warned himself in his heart, he felt the gap with Zhou Yu, the two were completely different, it was better not to think carefully in the future, otherwise it would only be him who was unlucky.

"Where does the general think Yu Ban will ambush?" Cao Bao said.

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and shook his head slowly: "This is not easy to judge, but ahead is the boundary of Mangdang Mountain, Zhang Yan once occupied the mountain as the king here, there should be a cottage on the mountain, and there are many arrangements, the ambush location is very likely to be there, everything depends on where Han Lin will appear!" ”

"He'll show up?" Cao Bao was stunned.

Zhou Yu nodded: "The front is a mountain, it is the junction of Mangdang Mountain and Jiuli Mountain, there are high slopes on both sides, suitable for ambushes, Han Lin saw that we were not in a hurry, he will definitely come up with another means, it is likely to wait in front of the mountain, and make a dead defense!" ”

Cao Bao was suspicious, and the army continued to move forward, and sure enough, from a long distance, he saw Han Lin standing in front of the valley with a gun and a royal horse, and there were more than 10,000 troops behind him, completely blocking the entrance of the valley, looking like he wanted to stop Zhou Yu from marching, and bought time for the soldiers and horses in the rear.

This is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, more than 10,000 people and horses will cover the mountain road as soon as they block it, and they can't move forward at all, if they want to attack, they can only fight head-on, the defensive pressure is very small, it is indeed a good choice to block here, if Zhou Yu didn't remind him before, Cao Bao would definitely believe it, and now he just sneered, it seems that there is indeed an ambush on the mountains on both sides, otherwise Han Lin will never be able to turn back and fight.

Just as he was thinking about it, Han Lin took a step forward and pointed angrily with his spear: "I advise you to return as soon as possible, General Yu Ban's soldiers and horses are already on the way, if you don't leave, you will definitely be defeated!" ”

Cao Bao was about to answer, but Zhou Yu had already sneered: "Yu Ban? He had already sent a large army to support Cao Cao in Yanzhou, and now how many soldiers and horses can there be, I have an army of 400,000, why be afraid of him? ”

"The acting is so good!" Cao Bao secretly praised beside him, he was completely convinced.

Han Lin's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he still stiffened: "I have millions of soldiers and horses in Yanzhou, how can you covet it?" Anyway, I'm too lazy to talk to you! ”

As he spoke, he turned to Cao Bao: "Cao Bao, do you really want to help the abuse, all the way to the dark?" It's too late to turn back! ”

Cao Bao smiled secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he didn't show anything, and hummed: "What's the point of talking about this until now? I have been in Xuzhou for many years, and I have never known that there are millions of soldiers and horses in Yanzhou, am I lonely and unheard, or are you blowing nonsense there? I see that you have no way out, so what's the point of pretending? ”

Han Lin's face turned pale for a while, and he flicked his gun fiercely: "In that case, I don't need to be polite to you, Cao Bao, do you dare to fight with me?" ”

These words made Cao Bao a little distracted, and hurriedly looked at Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and said softly: "Since there is an ambush, it is impossible for him to really start a big battle, he can only be a fighting general, which proves that he has hole cards!" ”

Cao Bao hurriedly said: "Then will I fight?" ”

"Fight!" Zhou Yu sneered: "If my expectations are not bad, this person will be defeated in a short battle, leading you to pursue, you will win this battle, but it can't make him better, remember to leave three points of strength in the battle, and when he wants to leave, kill him directly!" ”

Cao Bao suddenly became relieved when he heard this, he was already convinced of Zhou Yu's judgment, and immediately rode out of the crowd: "Fight and fight, I'm still afraid that you won't succeed?" ”

"Then you will die!"

Han Lin shouted and clashed, both of them were in the same place, both were martial arts generals, and the two of them could be said to be half a catty, the battle situation was very anxious, and it seemed that they were quite powerful.

After dozens of rounds of fighting, Han Lin thought he knew Cao Bao's strength, and deliberately sold a flaw, wanting to cheat and leave, but Cao Bao had already been prepared, and immediately attacked with all his strength, and slashed out quickly, Han Lin was caught off guard, and was beheaded with a knife and died on the spot.

As soon as Han Lin died, the Yanzhou army under his command was suddenly in chaos, where did they care about any orders, and fled like a swarm towards the depths of the valley, showing a rout.

"Hahaha!" Cao Bao was in a good mood, and effortlessly killed a military general of the same level, which was something he couldn't think of before, he hurriedly rode his horse back: "My lord's plan is clever, then Han Lin is also unlucky, and he died in vain, what should we do now, to chase or not to chase?" ”

Zhou Yu took a deep look at the valley in front of him, and nodded slightly after a while: "Chase!" Just take this opportunity to fight against that Yu Ban! ”

It's hard to say who is the praying mantis and who is the yellow finch.
