The chaotic sound of horses' hooves sounded outside Liu Yong's tent, and Zhao Tong, Lian Ji and others gathered here.

"If Your Majesty doesn't let people chase after you, I'm afraid that this Meng Zhuo will gather people and horses again, and his momentum will be amazing, and we will be defeated by him." The general surnamed Zhou said first.

"Even if Your Majesty can't bear to hurt him, he should be asked to stay here as a hostage to coerce the southerners, and it is not bad to explain after Li Yin is captured." Zhao Tong also said.

"What the two generals say is reasonable, and Your Majesty must not be indecisive." Lian said hesitantly.

Liu Yong smiled.

"Generals don't have to be impatient, I have my own opinions." Liu Yong said, carefully put the letter from Empress Zhang on the table into his personal pocket, and then stood up, "Spread my will, the three armies will rest tonight, and the division will return to Jianning City early tomorrow morning." After a long time away from Beijing, I want to go back to the capital first, and then come back to fight Meng Zhuo. ”

The crowd didn't know why.

"Go ahead." Liu Yong didn't wait for everyone to speak, and waved his hand.

Everyone retreated, and only Lian Yu was still standing there looking at Liu Yong with a blank expression.

"I knew you would stay." Liu Yong said with a smile.

Lian Zhen frowned.

"But my queen sister said something else in a private message?" Lian hesitated for a moment, as if he was making some kind of determination, and said, "Your Majesty should know that the former King of Zhou You and the King of Shang are going to play. ”

Liu Yong couldn't stop laughing.

"You guy, how dare you compare Zhou You with Shangxuan? Your queen sister is by no means a compliment and a concubine. I really don't know what I mean by arranging this? ”

Lian shook his head.

"I'll make it clear to you." Liu Yong said, "Tomorrow, when I leave, you will lead five hundred soldiers to stay behind, find a dense place in the woods and set up camp, and closely monitor it." Meng Zhuo fled, if he came this time, he would definitely be more ferocious than the previous two times, and when he learned that our Shu army had retreated to Jianning, and I had returned to Beijing, he would wave his troops and drive straight in. At that time, you can only spare its front army, and then destroy its grain and grass. It was not difficult for me to come out of the city and capture Meng Zhuo alive again. ”

Lian hesitated like waking up from a dream.

"Your Majesty really has a good plan!"

Liu Yong put away his smile.

"Although I have arrangements, I just don't know when Meng Zhuo will come back." After thinking about it, he advised, "After I leave, you can spread the news among the local people that I have returned to Beijing, and when Meng Zhuo learns about it, he must come eagerly, so as not to prolong this battle." ”

"Wechen understands."

Half a month later:

Meng Zhuo really came.

This time, he didn't have many men with him, and he didn't look as tough as the previous two times. The most astonishing thing is that each of these southerners is wrapped in a red scarf on the top of their heads, and the coarse cloth clothes on their bodies are mostly red, and their two sun-tanned shoulders and arms are exposed.

The clothes under the armpits looked very heavy, wrapping most of the body tightly.

After receiving the report, Lian He, who had been waiting in the dense forest for half a month, immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to Liu Yong, and at the same time took two guards to arrive close to reconnoitre.

"Back to General Lian He, the Nanyi people have waded through Lushui and are coming here, the villain has already found out clearly, the people and horses led by Meng Zhuo this time are all southern women." A soldier sweated profusely and ran in from outside the woods.

"Military intelligence events, how can it be child's play?" Lian hesitated and said, "If the report is false, I am worried that General Ben will take your head." ”

The soldier stuck out his tongue.

"General Lian Zhen doesn't believe it, but he can get closer."

Lian hesitate naturally doesn't believe it.

This is a battlefield, not his Meng Zhuo's harem, there are few people, if he only brings some women, unless he plans to come to die.

Such a thought just flashed through Lian Qiu's mind.

The southerners' procession was already very close, and the people sitting on the three war horses in front of them could see clearly.

Needless to say, Meng Zhuo in the middle, Lian Zhuo could guess his appearance with his eyes closed, and to Lian Zhuo's surprise, the person on the war horse next to Meng Zhuo was indeed a woman. Moreover, they are two beautiful and young women.

"This Meng Zhuo must be because of the successive fiascos, there is no man available in Nanzhong, so I have to ask these women to come to my Shuzhong to die."

"Jianning City has always lacked women, if they can be captured alive and distributed to my general, it should be a great thing of great merit." A soldier looked at the bare shoulders of the female soldiers, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and said.

"The southerners are very fierce, beware of being smashed by them, your second brother." The other soldier smiled and said.

Lian hesitated and turned his head.

"Your Majesty wants me to wait for his large group to pass and attack his rear baggage, while His Majesty will attack him from the front. In the eyes of this general, we don't have to wait for Your Majesty, and when half of his men and horses have passed, we will attack, cut him off, and capture Meng Zhuo and the women around him. Lian said hesitantly.

Everyone nodded.

Lian hesitated and did not give up, and added, "Quickly pass on the general general's order, this battle will be completely won, and anyone who captures a Nanren woman does not need to be notified, or kill or stay, and dispose of it at will, and the general will never interfere." ”

This general order immediately caused a commotion.

In ancient times, such wars were not uncommon. In order to motivate the morale of the soldiers, many generals often used this method to provide material stimulation, the most effective of which was to reward the captured women.

"General Lian changed the tactics without authorization, and asked the soldiers to dispose of the captured women at will, which is contrary to the tactics of His Majesty's attack, if His Majesty knows, I am afraid that the general will be blamed." A samurai kept a cool head at this time, and quietly walked up to Lian Yu and reminded.

Lian hesitated with displeasure.

"General Ben can win a great victory in a battle, so why do you have to act according to Your Majesty's established arrangement? You need to know that the battlefield is changing rapidly, and if you lose the fighter, General Ben will be blamed, and many brothers will be affected. ”

The samurai wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lian He: "Don't go and give an order quickly, ask all the brothers to sneak here, just wait for the general's order, and attack together." ”

The samurai had no choice but to leave.

After receiving such an order, the soldiers of the Shu army let out a burst of cheers, and then, according to Lian He's orders, they quickly sneaked to the edge of the woods.

At this time, the southerners were passing quickly along the path at the edge of the woods. The closest place to the Shu army is even less than a hundred meters.

"The terrain here is dangerous, and the Shu people are deceitful, so the two ladies should be extra careful." Meng Zhuo has had the experience of being captured, and he seems to be very cautious this time.

The older woman chuckled and said, "The king was shocked by the Shu people, even if there is an ambush, what can I do with three thousand armor soldiers?" ”

"I'm afraid that Liu Yong's guy will attack with fire again." Meng Zhuo's heart palpitated.

"Don't worry, the king can rest assured, Sister Jinhuan has long been prepared to deal with it, if the Shu people dare to set fire, they will only burn themselves." Said a slightly younger woman.

"What Sister Dong Rong said is true, the king just follows my sister into the army, and after taking Jianning City, the two of us will help you go straight to Shu Han Kyoto, capture the queen alive, and be ashamed of the king." The woman known as the Golden Ring said.

Meng Zhuo was overjoyed and sighed, "If all the cave masters are like the two ladies, why would this king have such an embarrassing situation as before." ”

The second daughter laughed.
