Zitong County was established in the Great Qin period. , the latest chapter access: ШШШ.79xs.СоМ .

In the territory of Zitong County, the topography is high in the northeast and low in the southwest, while the central part of Zitong County is a low concave Tongjiang River valley. The route that Zhang Lu wanted to withdraw was to march from the southwest and from the northeast, from low to high.

The location where Zhao Yun led the army to ambush was in the Tongjiang River valley in the middle.

It's June and it's hot.

The water of the Tongjiang River also began to swell, and although the river was not turbulent, the shoreline was much higher.

Zhang Lu's army went north and needed to cross the Tongjiang River.

The location chosen by Zhao Yun and Lu Su was to intercept on the north bank of the Tongjiang River.

On the north shore, in the middle of a mountain forest.

The army is stationed!

Zhao Yun and Lu Su stayed in the mountains, and the soldiers in the army were also waiting.

"Click!

Feet in the woods, making a loud noise.

A soldier quickly came to Zhao Yun's location and reported: "General, there is a sentry in the rear to report the news." ”

"Bring it here!"

Zhao Yun commanded directly.

Lu Su said: "The lord's sentinel has arrived, and it seems that the war in Chengdu has ended. ”

Zhao Yun said: "There is a lord in Chengdu, and there are also Huang Hu, Sha Moke, Chen Zhi and others, this battle is no suspense. I just don't know if Zhang Lu will be defeated on the spot. If Zhang Lu loses on the spot, it will be really disappointing. ”

Lu Su chuckled twice and said, "General, no matter how incompetent Zhang Lu is, there are close to 50,000 soldiers. This force is not easy to defeat. Even if Zhang Lu was defeated, with so many soldiers, it would not be easy to defeat. ”

Zhao Yun said: "I hope so!"

Lu Su said: "Is the general worried that there will be no war?"

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Wen Ping has gone to Hanzhong, and with his troops, he is enough to easily capture the empty Hanzhong." Obviously, the clerk must make meritorious contributions. And Zhang Lu is bound to lose in the face of the lord. Once Zhang Lu faced the lord's yes, he was completely defeated and captured, what else did we do? ”

"So after this battle, how can I fight for rewards for the soldiers at that time?"

"Therefore, we still have to hope that Zhang Lu will escape with his troops. ”

"Only when Zhang Lu escapes can we have a chance to capture Zhang Lu alive and then win in one go. ”

As a general, Zhao Yun considered not only the overall situation, but also the situation of the soldiers under his command. If the soldiers did not get any benefits in this battle, then how could the soldiers be killed without fear of death? The benefits were not fought for by other armies, then the soldiers under Zhao Yun's command would definitely have opinions.

Therefore, Zhao Yun hoped that Zhang Lu would escape.

Lu Su bowed slightly, and said, "General, Zhang Lu will definitely come." It is not easy for the lord to take down Zhang Lu in one go. ”

“！”

There was a sound of footsteps, and the sentry sent by Liu Xiu came.

Zhao Yun said: "No need to salute, let's say, what is the situation in the rear?"

The sentinel clasped his fists and replied, "Liu Jingzhou has already defeated Zhang Lu, and now Zhang Lu is on the run." ”

After briefly talking about the general situation, the sentry took out a letter from his underwear and handed it to Zhao Yun. The letter is still sealed and has not yet been sealed.

Zhao Yun tore open the letter and took it to check it.

After he looked at it carefully, a smile appeared on his face, and he handed it to Lu Su.

Zhao Yun looked at the sentry and ordered, "Go back and tell the lord that the general is ready to defeat Lu Su." ”

"No!"

The sentinel received the order, turned and retreated.

After reading it, Lu Su had a smile on his face and said, "General, the lord released more than 10,000 prisoners this time, and told the soldiers about Wen Ping's attack on Hanzhong. In this way, Zhang Lu's army will definitely be completely disheartened and will no longer have the heart to fight. Even Zhang Lu rushed back to Hanzhong at full speed at all costs. We will win this battle. ”

Zhao Yun said: "Yes, Zhang Lu is already a lost dog

。 In such a situation, if they can't defeat Zhang Lu, it will be really a shame. ”

Lu Su thought for a while and said, "I think it's no longer appropriate for us to hide on the north bank and ambush Zhang Lu. ”

Zhao Yun said, "Why?"

Lu Su said simply: "It's too conservative!"

Zhao Yunjian raised his eyebrows, and his face showed a deep "groan" and "look".

Lu Su said: "Once the fleeing soldiers return to Zhang Lu's army, there is no need to think about it, Zhang Lu's army will definitely not be able to unite anymore." At that time, Zhang Lu himself was a lost dog, and he couldn't live in fear. ”

"With such an army, we just need to attack head-on and 'force' them to a place where they can't escape. We are now garrisoning on the north bank, most of the soldiers are in ambush on the north bank, and there are troops on the south bank waiting for us to defeat Zhang Lu. ”

"To be sure, we will definitely be able to defeat Zhang Lu, but such a method is too slow. ”

Lu Su's expression was solemn, and he said: "Even, once Zhang Lu retreats and escapes in other directions in the process of escaping, it will be difficult for us to capture Zhang Lu alive." Although the Tongjiang River is good and a good place to stop Zhang Lu, there is no need to be so safe. ”

Zhao Yun asked, "Where do you plan to set up an ambush?"

With a wave of his hand, Lu Su asked the soldiers to bring the map.

This map belongs to Zitong County, and Lu Su's hand is placed at the entrance and exit of the southwest of Zitong County.

In this area, the terrain is relatively flat.

In many places, it is an open plain.

Lu Su pointed to one of the hillside shapes and said, "At the junction of Zitong County and Fu County, I have observed this place. This place is called Tianhe Valley, and it is said that there was once a slope of the Tianhe River, which was washed into a valley, so the surrounding area is flat, and there are few hillside woodlands, which is an excellent place for 'engagement'. ”

"We withdrew our troops and retreated, and camped in the northeast of the Tianhe Valley leading to Zitong County. At the same time, the troops were ambushed in the southeast and southwest, leaving only the northwest side. ”

"Although the valley is flat all around, in the northwest, although the road of more than ten miles at the beginning is flat, but the more you go to the northwest, the more valley it is. In the end, it was a high valley bottom, and it was impossible to climb the rock, so it could only be blocked in it. ”

Lu Su's eyes were sharp, and he said: "We have planted ambushes on three sides, and wait for Zhang Lu's army to enter the Tianhe Valley." When the time comes, we will lead our army out from the northeast. ”

"It is impossible for Zhang Lu to retreat, but if he retreats, the ambush we arranged at the southwest entrance is enough to cut off Zhang Lu's retreat and make Zhang Lu turn around and retreat again. ”

"Once Zhang Lu retreats to the northwest, then we will pursue it directly. ”

"Once Zhang Lu retreats to the southeast, the army in the southeast can also kill Zhang Lu in the northwest. ”

Lu Su looked confident and said: "Since you want to defeat Zhang Lu, you must capture Zhang Lu beautifully, this is the most suitable way." General, what do you think?"

When Zhao Yun heard this, he also had a smile on his face, and said, "Okay, just do it." ”

Regarding Lu Su's suggestion, Zhao Yun had a fundamentally different reasoning, and knew that this plan could be implemented.

Because the current Zhang Lu has already been defeated, and he is unbearable to fight. For Zhao Yun, it was a question of how to beat Zhang Lu beautifully, not how to beat Zhang Lu.

Lu Su smiled and said, "General, we still have to speed up." In case the retreating army of Zhang Lu arrived in the Tianhe Valley first, then all the plans would be in vain. ”

Zhao Yun nodded and shouted, "Someone!"

A soldier approached and stood with a bow.

Zhao Yun ordered: "Order, the army retreats and retreats to the Tianhe Valley in Zitong County." ”

After an order was given, the soldiers in the mountains and forests on the north bank moved quickly. Countless soldiers, under the leadership of Zhao Yun, went out of the mountains and forests and crossed the Tongjiang River, and then Zhao Yun joined the army on the south bank, and quickly marched towards the Tianhe Valley.

Nearly 30,000 troops marched, and they hurried quickly.

In order to arrive before Zhang Lu, Zhao Yun ordered the soldiers to hurry day and night, and in a day and a half, they had already arrived in Tianhe Valley. At this time, Zhang Lu's army had not yet arrived.

Zhao Yun quickly arranged it according to Lu Su's plan.

After everything was arranged, Zhao 'Yu' took Lu Su to look at it again in all directions, and after confirming that it was in order, he returned to the northeast direction where he led the army to ambush.
