Chapter 006: Preparing for a Surprise Attack

I'm Liu Bei.

Sending Zou Jing away, he will usher in the first battle with the Yellow Turban.

"Brother Li, the captain ordered me to guard the city, is it up to me to decide all the military and political affairs in the county?" Turned around and asked Li Wu, he was still not used to calling himself "the marquis of this army".

"Returning to your lordship. The imperial court had already issued an edict that whenever there was a war in each county, the local military attache would have full authority to handle the affairs of the county, with civilian officials assisting him. Li Wu still replied in a sonorous tone.

"Who is the highest-ranking military attache in Zhuo County now?" Zhang Fei asked.

"It's Lord Liu Junhou." Li Wu immediately replied.

Li Wu's answer was very pleased. Anyway, I'm also the number one in the county. Since he is the number one, there is nothing to worry about, and he can completely let go of a big battle with the Yellow Turban rebels.

"What is your position in the military?" I asked Li Wu.

"He was originally the commander of the tun (leading 100 soldiers) under the command of Captain Zou, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he was transferred to the chief of the scouts and stayed in Zhuocheng to listen to it. Just now, Captain Zou ordered him to protect you, so now Wu Yi obeys your orders. ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome." It turned out that he was engaged in intelligence work, so he couldn't let it go. In the future, I will definitely ask Zou Jing to come over. Hehe, be my Director of Intelligence.

"How old are you?" Looking at the white clouds in the sky, I asked casually

"Returning to my lordship, I am twenty-three years old."

"I'm twenty-eight this year, and we'll be called brothers from now on. Don't call yourself humble. ”

"Yes, Brother Liu."

Hey, his brain is spinning so fast, no wonder he can do intelligence work. With all that said, it's time to get down to business. "Brother Li Xian, how long do you think it will take for the rebels who crossed the Juma River to reach the bottom of Zhuocheng?"

"The Juma River is fifty miles from here, and the rebels are walking on foot, and slowly. According to the calculation of walking 20 miles in a day, today is the next day, the earliest tomorrow morning, and the latest tomorrow night must arrive. ”

Putting his arm on his shoulder, he asked, "Did the rebels go all the way north from Yizhou without being hindered along the way?" ”

"Brother Liu is really a god. There were not many guards in Youzhou, and this group of rebels was menacing, and there was no way to put up decent resistance in the counties they passed, and the officials were all scattered, so that they marched overnight, and the defenders of the city were caught off guard, and the city fell in an instant. ”

"Big brother didn't come up with the idea that it was not easy to carry out a surprise attack?" Guan Yu asked on the side.

"Yes, you and I went together. Since they can attack the city, then we can also come to 'use the other way, and give back to the other'" I patted Guan Yu on the shoulder and said.

"That's a great idea." Li Wu praised.

"When to act?" Zhang Fei's black face leaned over, and his hard beard like an iron needle almost pierced me.

"Why don't you just do it tonight?" I asked for their opinions.

"Just tonight!" Guan, Zhang, and Li said at the same time.

"Without further ado, Brother Li Xian leads the way, let's act immediately."

After a brief lunch, I stood in front of the assembled team, and Wang Dafu came over and reported: "Lord, all 79 recruits and 300 members of Team C have been prepared. ”

"Second brother, come here."

Guan Yu stepped closer and said, "What do you have to say about the eldest brother?" ”

"It is impossible to defeat the rebels in one fell swoop in this raid, and it is still necessary to defend the city. You bring new recruits and inspect the fortifications of Zhuocheng. Also, try to mobilize the people to defend the city. But don't force it. ”

"Big brother rest assured. Yu must complete the task and wait for the triumphant return of the eldest brother. Guan Yu arched his hand, turned around and told Zhang Fei: "Third brother, protect the eldest brother, you must not leave the left and right." ”

"Second brother is relieved, I must protect my eldest brother." The left sentence of these two people "protect the eldest brother" and the right sentence of "protect the eldest brother" really moved me who didn't understand martial arts.

"Go ahead."

Let Guan Yu take the lead in entering the city. Looking at his tall back on a horse, one can't help but think that in a few years, he will grow into one of the chief generals of the famous Three Kingdoms.

"Third brother, Brother Li Xian, let's go!" I was the first to lead the line. Behind him are Zhang Fei and Li Wu. Immediately followed by seven guards led by Wang Dafu. The last ones were the infantry numbered C Team brought out from Zhang Zhuang.

Walking on the road, I kept thinking about whether it was a bit big to bring out the infantry team C from Zhangzhuang, but to leave the cavalry team A to continue training. At the moment, there are not enough people in hand, is it necessary to call them to the county to listen to them?

I thought it was necessary. When you think about it, it's not necessary. First, the C team has just come into contact with horseback riding, and the soldiers' riding skills are not good; Second, the training time of the cavalry is limited, and the sword and gun skills are not good, and the third is that there is no powerful cavalry commander around him. (To explain, this book sets up that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are good at infantry combat, but not good at cavalry combat and water warfare.) Note that you are not good at it, not that you won't. The reason for this setting is very simple, leaving room for development for cavalry generals such as Zhao Yun and Ma Chao who will join in the future. )

In the Three Kingdoms era, it was the alternate era when cavalry replaced infantry and became the overlord on land, so this cavalry had to be trained well, and now it must not be pulled out, and they must be allowed to grow well.

Two hours after the troops marched, it was nearly evening. Li Wu proposed to investigate first, and instructed the soldiers to lead the horses up.

"Huh? Where did the horses come from? I asked, confused.

"There were eleven horses in the camp, and all of them were brought in by the lowly officials, and they were led at the back. The first is to facilitate the substitution of footsteps during the investigation, and the second is to prevent accidents, so Brother Liu can also leave a way out. ”

What a way out, it sounds good, it's easier for me to escape after the raid fails. Say yes, you have to twist and turn. However, he is really careful. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu and I didn't think of this. From this, I thought, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are still young now, will they have no common sense of war at all?

Thinking about it like this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

This question is terrible. Let's see as we play. Anyway, Liu Bei in history didn't die so quickly, and they won't die either. Whether Zhang Fei will fight or not, you will know after this battle.

"Brother Li Xian, it may be a little inconvenient for you to go alone, bring Dafu with you. It also gave him a glimpse of the demeanor of the scout. "I intend to cultivate Wang Dafu, this kid is clever, maybe he can become a big thing.

"It's fine." Li Wu naturally understood the meaning and readily agreed.

"Rich!"

"Yes." Wang Dafu trotted over and stood in front of him.

"Go with Brother Li Xian to learn more, listen to his instructions on the way, and don't make mistakes." I said aloud with a tense face.

"Yes." Wang Dafu, the ghost, replied with a smile, he must have guessed my intentions.

Another horse was led. The two of them turned over, raised their whips, and galloped towards the road ahead of them.

Ordered everyone to rest. The men of the C team were accustomed to making a lot of noise during breaks, and did not have the discipline and might of a soldier. With them, watching them fight, I can't help but think of myself in the 21st century in military training. I was deeply touched for a while. Unconsciously let time slip away.

"Big brother, it's been half an hour, and they haven't come back yet, will something happen?" Zhang Fei said with a snort.

I turned my head to look ahead, and it was sunset again.

Under the sunset, two horsemen galloped in the dust. Wang Dafu rushed to the front first, dismounted first, and said excitedly: "Lord, those rebels are camping in front. ”
