Having said that, after all, it is Lao Liu's flesh and blood relatives, and it is related to the continuation of ideals, so I must be worried.

The reason why he was more calm than last time was also because Lao Liu saw his son's strength in Jingxiang's first battle.

There are also Wei Yan and Ma Chao in Hanzhong, Cao Cao was defeated twice, and there should not be too many troops to send in a short period of time, even if there are soldiers, it is impossible to smash them all in the three counties.

However, he still convened his subordinates for the first time to discuss the situation in the three counties.

It had been almost a month since he received the letter, and now it was March, and he did not know what was going on in the three counties.

Judging from the two letters, Liu Feng should have noticed the rebellion of Shen Tan and Meng Da, and took the lead in taking action.

The worst-case scenario was that before Adou arrived, Liu Feng was defeated first, and the three counties fell into the hands of the enemy, and Adou could only retreat to Hanzhong.

But since he can occupy Shangyong City, coupled with Feng'er's bravery, he doesn't think he will lose it so quickly.

For a regional war, a month is not a long time for the attack and defense of the city.

I don't think the war will change much, maybe it's still scorching.

Comrade Liu didn't know that the war in the three counties was no longer so anxious, only Xu Huang, who was in the three counties, was very anxious......

The road between Shangyong and Fangling is mostly a dangerous terrain between two mountains and a valley.

After thinking about it, Xu Huang still gave up this relatively easy passage that could barely be called a big road, and ordered Cao Bing to climb the mountain and take the mountain path instead.

This is also something that cannot be helped, two mountains and a valley, this has always been the easiest terrain to ambush.

When I first came, I was sure that I would not encounter the enemy at that time, and at this time, the enemy army was on the side, and Xu Huang, who had just used the terrain to fight an ambush, how dare he put himself in danger.

Xu Huang didn't know that there was a large army attacking in front of him, and Liu Chan led his pursuers across the river behind him.

Of course, it's not that he doesn't know how to send scouts to investigate, but the scouts who are scattered out have all become the prey of the small group of Shu troops in the mountains in the special environment of this mountainous area, and they don't want to complete the task alive......

There are too many people sent out, and it will attract the confluence of the Shu army to besiege it, and Xu Huang's army seems to be being cut off by the Shu army piece by piece.

If those small groups of Shu troops in the mountains are not solved, he will become deaf and blind, which is a taboo on the march.

Xu Huang, who had been thinking about it for many days, combined with the terrain he had surveyed when he came, finally thought of an excellent place to solve the problem once and for all......

"Lao Li, Cao Jun has abandoned the road now, and the ambush plan we discussed earlier will not be used."

Li Er and the others in the mountains were sitting around a clearing, writing and drawing on the ground with broken branches.

Chai Rong was a little annoyed and talked about what he saw in the investigation.

Of course, Li Er is not old, even younger than Chai Rong, and the reason why he is so called is because of a kind respect.

The so-called upward and downward effect, even the prince has no shelf, and the newly promoted Chixing Left Captain Li Er never puts on a score during non-combat time, and does not let others call him Captain Li, and still treats each other as brothers.

However, he didn't have a word, and gradually became called Lao Li.

Li Er frowned and nodded: "Yes, for the sake of today, I can only continue to 'hunt'." ”

"But now Cao Bing is very cautious, and the time when the brothers succeed is getting their hands is getting less and less, and we only kill some Cao soldiers sporadically every day, which seems to be useless in the overall situation?" Chai Rong was a little anxious.

came to defect to the prince, although he was convinced by the prince at first, but he thought that he had brought such a big thief cottage in Jiangdong from scratch, and he would definitely be able to become the prince's right-hand man after joining.

But after joining the Red Star Army, he realized that there were people outside the people, and there were mountains outside the mountains.

The generals and colonels of the Red Star Army are all talents, and they speak well......

Chai Rong, who has been the leader of the bandits for a long time, although under the influence of the special atmosphere at this time, coupled with his gratitude and loyalty to the crown prince Liu Chan, can treat his fellow brothers and even his former subordinates equally.

But I still desperately want to perform better.

Ding Feng was also in a similar state of mind, and said at this time: "This is not necessarily, as long as we continue to put pressure on Cao Jun, then Xu Huang will not dare to send more scouts." In this way, he violated the taboo of marching, and knew nothing about the enemy around him.

"We may send someone to inform Fang Ling, and let Guan Anguo lead his troops to attack Xu Huang together! Although most of Anguo's subordinates are young and strong, but at this time, Cao's army is newly defeated, and the army's morale must be unstable. ”

Li Er nodded: "What Ding Chengyuan said is reasonable, I will send someone to inform the prince and An Guo that we will continue to 'hunt', and they will not be able to find out the surrounding information." ”

After several people agreed, they immediately went their separate ways.

However, on the following march, Cao's army did not send scouts to reconnoitre, and kept heading eastward, as if he had completely abandoned himself.

This made the scattered Han army a little confused for a while, but they still followed all the way.

If Xu Huang penetrated into Fangling so straight, he would definitely encounter Guan Xingbu head-on, and when the two sides started a war, and his own people would sneak attack from the rear, the effect would be the same.

But something unexpected happened when Cao Jun was halfway through the march.

Cao's army, which would rather climb the mountain with difficulty than take the main road, suddenly entered the valley from a gentle slope, and traveled less than two miles to the east, and suddenly divided the troops without warning.

Xu Huang's generals and 500 men headed north and turned into an inconspicuous path, while the rest of the people continued eastward.

This sudden move caught Li Er and the others off guard, and the disadvantage of dispersion is that they cannot communicate in time when they encounter emergencies.

Without mobile phones and walkie-talkies, it is impossible to communicate in real time. But the fighter plane is fleeting, and if you get together first to discuss and then make a decision like before, you won't be able to catch up with Xu Huang.

Even if they adapt to the mountains, people are not mountain leopards, and at this time, in the face of Cao's army, which is marching along the road again, the Han army has little advantage in speed.

Li Er and others, who discovered this situation, could only reuse the methods of leaf whistle, whistling, and imitating bird song of the tribal mountain people, and simply communicated through word of mouth.

After learning about the mountain people here, Li Er, Chai Rong and Ding Feng learned that this remote road could lead to the northeast.

And the Northeast ...... It is Wudang Mountain, the terrain of Wudang Mountain is low and protruding in the center all around, and the peaks are numerous, and the military road is blocked by this and the dangerous grain cart is impassable at all.

The large army passed through here, not only did the march be slow, but also could not walk the grain carts, and those who could not go out were starved to death.

However, Xu Huang is now only taking five hundred people to turn around lightly, is he going to risk walking here?

Although it is risky to enter Wudang Mountain, Xu Huang and others, who cannot carry a large amount of grain and grass, can get out alive and half of them can be regarded as a miracle.

However, if you march like this, you can bypass Fangling in the east, and once you successfully get out of Wudang Mountain, you can enter the Nanyang territory, which is the territory controlled by Cao's army......

Perhaps Xu Huang guessed that Fangling was lost and felt that the situation was critical, so he ordered the large army to act as bait and drag the pursuers, while he took a few personal soldiers to take the risk of detouring.

That's the only way to do it.

When the three of them thought of this, they couldn't help but feel some emotion in their hearts, there were more than 6,000 people left, and all of them were treated as outcasts by Xu Huang, so that they could escape and ascend to heaven, and they would easily bury so many people.

But the question is, to chase or not to chase?

The safest course of action was to let them turn to the northeast, and their task was not to annihilate the enemy's forces completely, but to constantly harass them, delay the enemy's movements, and create opportunities for subsequent operations.

Moreover, taking the risk of walking Wudang Mountain, Xu Huang may not be able to succeed, and if he is not familiar with the terrain, he may get lost in Wudang Mountain, and eventually starve to death in the mountains.

It's just that Chai Rong, who is looking forward to a major meritorious performance and living up to the prince's previous allocation to himself, doesn't want to let go of the enemy's main general just like that.

However, there are about 500 people, and there are three times the enemy on their side, if they enter the valley at night at the same time and converge on the north side of the trail to chase after them, they will definitely be able to win the battle and make meritorious contributions!

Bursts of birdsong, carried along the squads scattered in the mountains, were the signal for attack.

Whoever attacked, needless to say, it must not be the more than 6,000 Cao troops on the main road.

Even if Li Er felt that it was a little unsafe, he had to cooperate, and after receiving a signal from one side, the other teams would gather their strength, which was a pre-set rule.

Without this, it would not have been possible to disperse and converge so smoothly.

People are not machines, they always have their own goals, ideas, and aspirations.

Xiahou Shang and Xu Huang, who pursued Liu Chan before, were like this, and Chai Rong and Ding Feng at this time were ...... The same is true.
