Chapter 481: Steady as always

"I have already sent someone back to Jiangling to inform the military division, so that he can secretly send troops to land from Yunmengze and attack Luo County."

"As long as Luo County is taken, you can cut off the retreat of Liu Bei and others at that time!"

Yang Ling said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned at first, and then their eyes widened in unison!

Luo County's geographical location, how important, naturally there is no need to say more.

As long as you take it down, you don't need to worry about Liu Bei's defense line on the north bank of Xiangshui at that time.

On the contrary, Liu Bei had to think about how to escape from Changsha County!

No wonder the general would let the army be stationed in Xiangshui all the time, and the troops would not move.

It's no wonder that he would say something like "Guan Yu and persuasion of Liu Bei are not important, let Guan Yu persuade Liu Bei to surrender is the most important".

All of this is to confuse the coalition forces and cover for Pang Tong of the "Darkness Chen Cang"!

"The general is really a clever plan!"

Ma Chao praised from the bottom of his heart,

"I'm afraid that this time, Liu Bei's wings will not escape!"

"The thinking of the great general is really difficult for ordinary people to deduce, but I am afraid that Liu Bei will not be able to dream of it."

Gao Rou's words are also full of beautiful words.

Guan Yu on the side suddenly remembered that when Yang Ling first ordered him to persuade Liu Bei to surrender, he had seen him write a letter to Pei Yuanshao.

It turned out that as early as that time, he had thought of a plan to secretly Chen Cang!

How many people in the world today can compare with such resourcefulness?

It's no wonder that over the years, when the eldest brother faced Yang Ling, he would repeatedly fall behind.

Guan Yu was full of emotion in his heart, and at the same time, his eldest brother Liu Bei became nervous.

Yang Ling's plan is seamless, I wonder if the eldest brother can see through it and escape?

However, at this moment, Yang Ling glanced at the other side of the river, but his brows furrowed slightly.

"General, what's wrong?"

Gao Rou noticed Yang Ling's face and asked softly.

"Something is wrong."

Yang Ling pointed to the other side of the river and said in a deep voice,

"It's going to be ...... mealtime."

As soon as he said this, everyone also sensed that something was wrong.

At this time, it was noon, and it was the time when the army was burying the pot and cooking.

The coalition camp on the other side of the river should have smoke wafting up, but there was no movement at all.

Could it be that Liu Bei sensed his intentions and ran away in advance?

It's unlikely, Guan Yu didn't meet Liu Bei early this morning?

Yang Ling touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and looked at Guan Yu on the side,

"General Yun Chang, when you met Liu Bei today, did you find anything abnormal?"

Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, and shook his head honestly,

"Back to the general, the last general didn't find anything abnormal."

That's kind of weird!

Yang Ling thought about it, and said to Guan Yu again,

"Please also ask General Yun Chang to go again and go to the other side of the river to see the reality and reality!"

"Whoa!"

Guan Yu took the order, crossed Xiangshui again, and came to the front of the coalition position.

But this time, Mo said that Liu Bei and Zhang Fei did not appear, and the entire coalition position was quiet.

Guan Yu groaned slightly, and then boldly went up the dirt slope.

When he looked down, he was shocked.

Not to mention that there was no one in the trenches, and even in the coalition camp in the rear, there was not even a ghost!

He didn't dare to slack off, and immediately returned to the south bank of Xiangshui and told Yang Ling about the situation.

When Yang Ling heard this, he frowned, and immediately asked Dian Wei, Ma Chao and others to lead their troops across the river.

Cao Jun thoroughly searched the north bank, and only then did it become clear that Liu Bei and the others were going to the camp!

"This Liu Bei is really worthy of the title of Liu Ranran!"

Seeing the fat in his mouth fly away, Ma Chao was a little angry.

Hearing Ma Chao's nickname for Liu Bei, Guan Yu's face darkened, but it was hard to say anything.

He was a little glad in his heart, his brother was still as steady as ever, and he slipped away in advance when he saw that the situation was not good!

"Strange, the general's plan is seamless, how did Liu Bei notice it?"

Gao Rou touched her chin and said suspiciously.

"It's not so much that Liu Bei noticed it, but that it was Zhuge Liang's credit."

Yang Ling said lightly.

It's not that he looks down on Liu Bei, it's just that in comparison, Zhuge Liang is the one who is most likely to see through his scheme!

Looking at the empty camp, Yang Ling did not get angry, but smiled dumbly.

I still underestimated Zhuge Liang's wisdom.

Knowing this, when the grass house was burned, he should have made the fire hot and burned him directly.

"General, are we going to send someone to pursue Liu Bei?"

Wen Chou asked.

"There's no need for that."

Yang Ling shook his head, not planning to pursue Liu Bei.

From Liu Bei's actions, it is not difficult to see that I am afraid that as early as a few days ago, the large army of the coalition army had quietly retreated.

Liu Bei deliberately stayed behind to make the illusion that the coalition forces were still on the north shore.

When the large army was almost gone, he retreated with Zhang Fei and the others.

"That can't just let them run away!"

Ma Chao was unwilling to be authentic.

"General Meng Qi is a little restless, presumably the military division has landed in Yunmengze at this time."

"As long as he can capture Luo County in time, Liu Bei and the others will not be able to escape."

Yang Ling smiled and reassured.

Hearing him say this, the crowd no longer insisted on pursuit.

Now that Liu Bei and others have fled, Cao Jun crossed the Xiangshui River and approached Linxiang.

Changsha guarded Han Xuan too much, and after discovering that Liu Bei had run away, he didn't dare to delay at all.

He packed up his gold, silver and jewelry, took his family and a group of cronies, and fled in a hurry.

By the time Yang Ling led Cao's army to Linxiang, the city had already become a mess!

Seeing this situation, Yang Ling first used thunder to kill hundreds of thugs who were making waves in the city.

Notices were then put up and curfews were imposed to reassure the population.

He also invited the nobles of the city to the Taishou Mansion and reused those who had talents.

In just two or three days, Linxiang City settled down.

And at this moment, Pang Tong also led the men and horses and rushed over from Luo County.

……

"Meet the General!"

Pang Tong, Gan Ning and others saluted respectfully towards Yang Ling.

"Military divisions and general Xingba don't have to be polite!"

Yang Ling smiled and waved his hand and asked,

"How is the battle of Luoxian going?"

"Back to the general, the battle was extremely easy, and in less than two hours, Luo County was taken."

Pang Tong smiled and said regretfully,

"But just half an hour before his subordinates attacked Luo County, Uncle Liu Huang led the army and withdrew from Luo County!"

Although he took refuge in Yang Ling, Pang Tong still respected Liu Bei a lot, and still called him Uncle Liu Huang on weekdays.

Yang Ling didn't care about this.

After all, Pang Tong's people and hearts are their own, and it is nothing to call Uncle Liu Huang.

"It's a pity!"

Let Liu Bei slip away from his palm again, Yang Ling still has some regrets!

"But although Uncle Liu Huang was not left, there are still unexpected gains."

Pang Tong nodded to the soldiers on the side, and they immediately left the lobby.

After a while, a middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing but an embarrassed expression was escorted up.

It's none other than Changsha Taishou Han Xuan!
