"Second brother, Yuan Shu has divided his troops."

"Let me go to the Kuangting Raid!"

Jiyang City, this place is more than 100 miles away from Fengqiu City.

Under the cover of Zhang Miao, Guan Yu personally led the foot cavalry to Jiyang City to seek fighters.

Guan Yu didn't immediately agree, but looked at Zhang Hong and Chen Deng.

In terms of combat, Guan Yu believes in Zhang Fei's bravery.

But before fighting, Guan Yu had to confirm Yuan Shu's intention to send troops to Kuangting at this time.

"Yuan Shu has been in Fengqiu City for a long time, and he has never had the intention of attacking the city, so it can be concluded that Yuan Shu does not care about the gains and losses of one city and one pool."

"Yuan Shu is waiting, waiting for an opportunity to annihilate the opposition forces in Yanzhou."

"But obviously, Yuan Shu overestimated Liu Dai's boldness!"

"Yuan Shu's grain, grass, soldiers and horses are all in Fengqiu City, if Liu Dai raises troops to attack, Yuan Shu will occupy the convenient location of the city. But Liu Dai is now stationed in Fan County, and Yuan Shu's plan to lure the snake out of the hole will be difficult to work. ”

"And at this time, if you want to raise troops to attack Liu Dai, who is entrenched in Fan County, it is obviously impossible."

"Therefore, I deduce that Yuan Shu's garrison of Kuangting is still for Liu Dai to see."

"He wants Liu Dai to understand that this time he went north not only to attack Yuan Shao, but also to take Yanzhou!"

"If my calculations are correct, Yuan Shu should have sent a large number of spies to Jiyin County to confuse Liu Dai."

Tian Yudao, who was in charge of intelligence spying, said: "Indeed, as Mr. Yuanlong guessed, there are a large number of spies operating between Jiyin County and Kuangting. ”

Zhang Hong said: "But if Liu Dai chooses to hold on to Fan County, it is impossible for him to raise troops to seal Qiu City because of Yuan Shu's temptation." ”

"Knowing that it is impossible for Liu Dai to leave Fan County, he still uses this way to lure the enemy, Yuan Shu must be waiting for the outcome of the battle in Dongjun."

Chen Deng said: "The purpose of my going north is to prevent Yuan Shu from benefiting. ”

"Liu Xiang is a soldier who lures the enemy, and his combat effectiveness is relatively weak, if he can capture Liu Xiang alive, he can also obtain information about Fengqiu City."

"But in order to avoid accidents, it would be too big to let Yide go alone."

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "I can capture Liu Xiang alive by myself, you can't rob it!" ”

Guan Yu said indifferently: "Since one person is the biggest, then the whole army will go together." ”

"If you miss one or two Yuan Shu soldiers, you may be able to lure Yuan Shu out of Fengqiu City."

"Fighting outside the city is much easier than attacking Fengqiu City."

Chen Deng and Zhang Hong both admired.

Zhang Fei saw that Guan Yu had made a decision, so he could only give up the idea of a surprise attack alone: "Since the whole army is on the line, I want to be in front of the army." Second brother, you can't refuse anymore. ”

Guan Yu nodded and gave an order: "Zhang Fei listens to the order." ”

Zhang Fei's eyes were happy, and he arched his hand forward and clenched his fist: "Here!" ”

Guan Yu took out the token: "Give you a thousand soldiers and horses, bring three days of dry food, take a detour to the north of Kuangting, and at night after three days, wait for the sky to appear, and immediately kill from the north." ”

Zhang Fei was overjoyed to take the military order: "Get the order." ”

Guan Yu took out another token: "Tai Shi Ci listens to the order." ”

"In!"

"Give you a thousand soldiers and horses, bring three days of dry food, make a detour to the west of Kuangting, and at night after three days, when the lantern of the sky appears, immediately kill from the west."

"Order."

"Koji Yi listens to orders."

"In!"

"Give you a thousand soldiers and horses, bring three days of dry food, take a detour to the east of Kuangting, and at night after three days, when the heavenly lantern appears, immediately kill from the east."

"Order."

"The rest of the people, wait for the rest of the people, follow Guan to the south of Kuangting."

"Pay attention to the silence of the flag, as far as possible do not expose your whereabouts, if your whereabouts are exposed, immediately use the prayer lantern to send a message, if the departments see the signal, no longer need to hide their whereabouts, and kill directly to Kuangting."

After issuing the military order, Guan Yu carefully explained the possible accidents and countermeasures during the surprise attack, and talked for half an hour to ensure that Zhang Fei, Tai Shici and Liyi and other generals had already understood, and then let the generals prepare separately.

"The level of General Guan's dispatch has been refined again." Zhang Hong secretly exclaimed.

When Guan Yu secretly dispatched troops, Liu Xiang, the general of Yuan Shu in Kuangting, was drinking and having fun in the camp.

There are also dancing girls and singers singing and dancing with horror on their faces.

What kind of handsome will there be.

Yuan Shu enjoyed all kinds of things in Fengqiu City by himself, and the generals under his command naturally learned from each other.

Can't there be female dependents in the army?

That's to restrain others, what's the matter with him Liu Xiang?

"Jump, keep jumping."

"If you dance well, you will be rewarded!"

Liu Xiang drank with jade utensils while shouting at the group of dancing girls and singers who had just looted.

"General Liu, General Hou has an order, let me wait in Kuangting to be cautious and beware of Cao Cao's southward movement." Deputy General Chen Zhi saw Liu Xiang singing and dancing in the handsome tent, and reminded him responsibly.

Liu Xiang waved his hand and said impatiently: "You are a deputy general, you can do this kind of thing well." You have to report everything, what is this going to ask you to do? ”

"But-" Chen Zhi wanted to persuade again, but Liu Xiang had already hugged a frightened dancer and began to peck indiscriminately.

Chen Zhi had no choice but to arrange the soldiers and horses for the night patrol by himself.

But if the lord is like this, how can the soldiers and horses under his command strictly abide by military discipline?

Although Chen Zhi arranged the soldiers and horses to patrol the night, he couldn't stop these soldiers and horses from being lazy.

Many generals complained in front of Liu Xiang, saying that Chen likes to use military law to scare people when he is fine.

This made Chen Zhi even more depressed.

Third night.

Chen Zhiqin led his own soldiers to patrol the night.

Suddenly, a burst of exclamations sounded in his ears: "General, look at what it is?" ”

Chen Zhi raised his head when he heard this, but saw prayer lanterns floating in the sky one by one.

"That's, lantern?"

Since the appearance of Caihou paper, lanterns have become generally popular in the Han Dynasty.

But what puzzled Chen Zhi was, how could the lantern fly in the sky?

"This lantern flies in the sky, and you can see it in Fengqiu City, right?" One of the soldiers spoke suddenly.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Chen Zhi's heart suddenly sank: "The lantern flies in the sky, if it is used for code communication, doesn't it mean that there is an enemy who wants to take the opportunity to rob the camp?" ”

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Zhi's heart was awe-struck, and he hurriedly ordered: "Pass my military order, and the scouts will immediately leave the camp from the four gates, and the sentry will be within thirty miles!" ”

But the guards did not move: "General, the lieutenant of the scout battalion will not listen to us." ”

Chen Zhi then remembered that early this morning, he had a quarrel with the lieutenant of the scout battalion, because the lieutenant of the scout battalion thought that Chen Zhi was nosy, and then Liu Xiang asked Chen Zhi to ask for more instructions in the future.

"There is not enough success, but there is more than failure. Wake up all our brethren, and I'll go to General Liu. Chen Zhi was angry in his heart and strode to the handsome tent.

But Liu Xiang, who was awakened, scolded Chen Zhi with a slashing head and covering his face: "A few lanterns flying in the sky, you will also disturb the general." Cao Apu can't even defeat the Black Mountain thieves, how can he have time to rob the camp? ”

"Every day we are sending spies to Jiyin County, and if Liu Dai is coming, he will definitely be discovered."

"How could Ben use an idiot like you as a lieutenant?"

"Get out of here!"

The scolding Liu Xiang got into the bed.

Chen Zhi clenched his fists and had no choice but to return to the headquarters.

Without Liu Xiang's general order, he, the deputy general, could not mobilize the scout battalion.

"General, could it be just a coincidence? Maybe it's just a rich boy of a family who is playing with something strange? ”

"Yes, I saw a woodbird flying last time! Wooden birds can fly, and it's not surprising that lanterns can fly. ”

"Isn't it strange? Have you ever seen a lantern fly? ”

"There are more strange things in rich and noble people, and they must be strange, and they must not be dizzy."

Listening to the words of the guard, Chen Zhi looked at the prayer lantern that was still flying in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: The battle is dangerous, even if there is a trace of doubt, you should be cautious, how can you be so careless.

Chen Zhi lay down sullenly, closed his eyes and recuperated.

In the second half of the night, Chen Zhi was dazed, and the hurried shouts of the guards sounded in his ears: "General, wake up quickly, there are enemy troops robbing the camp!" ”

Chen Zhi got up suddenly, and asked in a condensed voice, "How many enemy troops have they killed, and where have they been killed?" ”

The guards were also flustered: "I don't know, there are enemy troops at the four camp gates, and I don't know where they came from!" ”

"That lantern is indeed a code for communication!" Chen Dao's eyes darkened, and he continued to sit down.

The guards were puzzled: "General, don't we resist?" ”

Chen Zhi sighed helplessly: "The enemy is prepared, and our army is still sleeping, how can we resist?" Let the brothers come together, and there may be a chance to live. ”

And in the handsome tent.

Liu Xiang looked at the Zhangba snake spear in front of his neck in horror, and the pain in his neck pierced the dream that Liu Xiang thought.

"Whose general are you?"

"My name is Zhang Fei, in the name of my eldest brother, Qingzhou Mu, and General Zhenxi, I came to take Yuan Shu's dog head. If you are honest, you can still save a dog's life. ”

Qingzhou Mu, Liu Bei?

Liu Xiang's eyes widened: "How is it possible?" How did you guys end up here? If you come east, my spies will not know it! ”

Zhang Fei kicked Liu Xiang down with one kick and shouted: "Noise! Tie me up! ”

Liu Xiang's carelessness of the enemy, coupled with Guan Yu's surprise attack, this Kuangting's Yuan Shubing was taken prisoner with little resistance, and only a few remnants of the defeated soldiers escaped at night.

"No wonder Yuan Shu wants to work at ease in Fengqiu City, it turns out that he is self-aware." The surprise attack was so easy and successful, Tian Yu couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous.

Because they fought with Sun Jian before, Tian Yu and others subconsciously thought that Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses should be as brave and good at fighting as Sun Jian's soldiers and horses.

Even if it's a little worse, it's not too bad.

This is also the reason why Chen Deng will say that Zhang Fei is too big alone, and Guan Yu also attacked Liu Xiang Kuangting's camp in four ways.

At the beginning of the fight, Guan Yu and the others were compared to Sun Jian to deploy the battle!

But this result was a big disappointment to everyone.

If he had known that Liu Xiang was such a waste, where would Guan Yu have used such a careful deployment of troops, and also imagined more than a dozen possible emergencies and formulated corresponding response plans.

Guan Yu's eyes were a little more chilly.

This feeling of wearing armor and carrying a steel knife to kill a chicken made Guan Yu quite unhappy.

"You have a chance to tell Ben what you know!" Guan Yu's tone was cold.

This chilling murderous aura seemed to tell Liu Xiang that as long as he hesitated, he would be dragged out and beheaded.

Liu Xiang said in horror: "The general spares his life, I say, I say it all!" ”

Liu Xiang, who was terrified, told all the purposes of Yuan Shu sending him to Kuangting like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

At the end, Liu Xiang licked his face and begged for mercy: "General, I have already said it, can you spare my life?" ”

Guan Yu was a little disgusted, so he asked Liu Xiang to be escorted down, and ordered Liu Xiang's deputy Chen Zhi to be escorted up.

But unlike Liu Xiang's fright, Chen Dao's demeanor was very calm, and even if he was a prisoner, he refused to bend his knees easily.

"Report your name!"

"Runan people, Chen Zhi, Chen Shuzhi!"

Seeing Chen Zhi's sonorous words and tall and burly, Guan Yu's eyes couldn't help but add a little approval: "Since you are a prisoner, why don't you kneel?" ”

Chen Zhi said in a condensed voice: "I have one hundred and twenty-one villagers, if the general promises not to kill them, I will kneel." ”

Guan Yu stroked his beautiful hair, and his eyes were a little more murderous: "What if Ben will not agree?" ”

Chen Zhi said without humility or arrogance: "That general will not only lose one hundred and twenty-one warriors, but also may lose dozens of soldiers guarding the captives. ”

Zhang Fei couldn't help but scolded: "Being a prisoner is still so arrogant, second brother, let me kill this madman." ”

Guan Yu stopped Zhang Fei and looked at Chen Zhi and said, "You just said that you have one hundred and twenty-one villagers, but Guan remembered that when you were captured, there was no resistance. ”

"How can a group of soldiers who don't even dare to resist be called 'warriors'?"

Chen Zhi said without thinking: "I made them not resist." ”

Guan Yu's interest became even stronger: "Why is this? ”

Chen Zhi's tone suddenly became a little more indignant: "The lantern flying in the sky is the code you use to communicate, right?" ”

"If Liu Xiang can listen to me and send scouts out of the camp for thirty miles, how can you succeed in a surprise attack?"

Guan Yu's eyes lit up: "Just by seeing the heavenly lantern in the sky, you can judge that we are going to rob the camp?" ”

Chen Zhi said calmly: "The soldiers are dangerous, and the march should be led by caution, even if the judgment is wrong, it is just to make the soldiers tired, it is better than being captured alive!" ”

"Well said!" Guan Yu left the table and got up, personally untied Chen Zhi, and bowed: "General Chen has such a talent, but Yuan Shu let a waste Liu Xiang to command the troops, there are people who have no eyes." ”

"Brother Guan, after the Han family, is also the current Qingzhou Mu and Zhenxi general, who is benevolent and virtuous, faithful and unparalleled, and the most happy to make friends with the world's heroes."

"Why doesn't General Chen choose a virtuous lord to do things, and work with Guan to support the Han family and pacify the world?"

Seeing this, Chen Zhi hurriedly replied: "The general's words are serious, I am just a general of a defeated army, what kind of face do I have to choose the virtuous master?" ”

Guan Yu arched his hand and said again: "Although the general is defeated, it is not the general's fault!" It was Yuan Shu's unknown knowledge that asked Liu Xiang to lead the army, and Liu Xiang did not listen to the general's admonition, so he was defeated tonight. ”

"Guan sincerely invites, and please don't doubt the general!"

Chen Zhi saw that Guan Yu was so polite, and Chen Dengtai Shi Ci and the others around him did not mean to mock, even Zhang Fei, who had scolded him just now, was also appreciative.

For a moment, Chen Zhi was full of emotion in his heart.

Chen to Runan, he will follow Yuan Shu in the early stage, it is still reasonable.
