Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 450
Su Fei looked back, and saw that this person was very strange, with a mustache on his lips, with a calm expression, and frowned: "Who is this?"

County magistrate Wang said with a smile: "This is my friend Fei Boren, surnamed Fei, named Yi. He is about to go to Yizhou and stay here for a few days to reminisce about the old days. Unexpectedly, Jiangxia was attacked by Dongwu. Help."

Su Fei also had nothing to do at this time, and asked, "Did you just say that you have a plan to exhaust your troops?"

"That's right!" Fei Yi clasped his fists and said, "The enemy's army is approaching suddenly and it's hard to resist. The only way to defend the city is to wait for reinforcements. We can use the strategy of exhausting the troops so that Wu's army can't attack the city with all its strength. Only in this way can we delay the time."

Su Fei asked: "The plan will be released?"

Fei Yi said: "Outside the city of Anlu, the water flows out of the Dahong Mountain and enters the river. There are many mountains in the northwest of the city and swamps in the southeast. The general can divide into two troops, go out of the city and hide among the reeds, and harass the enemy with drums and trumpets. I don't know the reality, if I need to guard against my robbing the camp, I will definitely be on guard all night, so I won't have the energy to attack the city, if this continues, the Wu army will definitely be unbearable!"

"This plan is brilliant!" Su Fei's eyes lit up, and he clasped his fists and said, "If Jiangxia turns the crisis into safety, I will make a note of merit for Mr. Mr. is such a great talent, why don't you stay in your hometown, instead go all the way to Yizhou?"

The county magistrate Wang said: "The general doesn't know. My nephew lost her husband when he was young. He was raised by his good friend Boren. Boren's aunt is the mother of Yizhou Mu Liuzhang. It happened that Liu Jiyu sent an envoy to welcome Boren at the beginning of the year. , it was only delayed for a few days because of a temporary incident, and it has been delayed until now, and this time I took him to study in Shu."

Su Fei said displeasedly: "I have a lot of talents in Jingzhou, famous people are here to avoid chaos, why go to that remote place for study tours? If you want to stay in Jiangxia, sir, I will personally recommend you to the commander of Huang Junshou, or even Zhennan General. Not impossible."

County Magistrate Wang didn't expect Su Fei to value Fei Yi so much, and turned to look at him: "Nephew Wen Wei, look at this..."

But Fei Yi clasped his fists and said, "The enemy is at hand, and the priority is to withdraw the enemy. The matter of whether to stay or go can only be discussed after the Wu soldiers retreat after defending Anlu."

"Yes, I was in a hurry!" Su Fei slapped his head and said to County Magistrate Wang: "Let Wen Wei be the counselor first, and help me make plans to defend against the enemy. After the matter is completed, I will credit myself with credit."

County magistrate Wang was naturally happy to see the success, so he left Fei Yi to help Su Fei here, and arrange the patrols in the city by himself.

Su Fei immediately called two lieutenants and ordered them to take five hundred troops to ambush in the mountains and the reeds. When they saw the fire horn above the tower, they would beat drums and gongs. When the fire went out, they would hide in the mountains.

These people grew up in Jiangxia and were familiar with the terrain, so they would never get lost even if they were traveling at night.

The two took the order to leave, Su Fei said to Fei Yi: "As for when to beat the drums and when to stop, I ask you to be the master, and I will leave it to you to disturb the enemy."

"Obey!" Fei Yi knew that Su Fei was still in charge of patrolling and deploying defenses, so he was not polite, and took two of Su Fei's cronies to prepare.

Under the bright moonlight, Fei Yi took a leisurely walk around the top of the city, and saw that the Wu army camp outside the city was lined up neatly, and the sergeants were patrolling in an orderly manner.

There are swamps and lakes in the southeast of Anlu City. This vast place is called Yunmeng Lake. The Wu army can't camp, let alone attack. The only way to attack the city is from the north. This is also an important reason why Su Fei dared to defend Anlu with his own strength.

After ordering the soldiers on the east and west towers to prepare their torches, Fei Yi turned back to the government office and asked the two soldiers to rest in the lobby until the third watch.

The enemy was in front of them, so the two soldiers couldn't sleep. When it was the third watch, seeing Fei Yi lying on the table snoring slightly, they couldn't help shaking their heads with a wry smile, and called softly, "Sir, it's time!"

Fei Yi woke up, stretched his waist, and took the two of them to the west city without any haste. Looking at the Dongwu camp, the patrolling soldiers were still orderly, with bright torches and strict military discipline.

With an opponent like Zhou Yu, it is really difficult to find a flaw. Now the Han River must have been blocked by the Wu army. Only Nanyang's reinforcements can arrive as soon as possible, but I don't know if they can hold Anlu.

Fei Yi sighed in his heart, and ordered to the soldier holding the torch: "Light it up!"

The soldier immediately lit a torch, waved it from side to side on the tower towards the mountains to the west, and signaled.

dong dong dong-

A moment later, there was a rush of drumming from upstream, piercing the night sky and echoing in the mountains, from far to near.

Looking at the Wu army camps outside the city, they immediately beat drums as a warning, and soon saw that each battalion dispatched a team of troops and quickly assembled at the gate.

Fei Yi just walked from the city tower to the city wall of the North City. In this short period of time, all the Wu troops had assembled, armed with swords and guns, and ready for battle. This speed is truly astonishing.

Seeing Wu Bing standing guard outside the camp, Fei Yi frowned. Wu Bing's elite far exceeded his expectations, and his opponent was Zhou Yu. With Anlu's garrison and guards, he might not be his opponent.

He signaled the soldier to put out the torch, and soon the sound of the drum disappeared. Fei Yi stood alone on the top of the city, looking at the starry sky. Although he was full of knowledge, but he had never been to the battlefield in person, and he was short of troops, there was nothing he could do.

It had been a long time since the enemy came, and the camp of the Wu army was in commotion, and soon retreated, but the patrolling soldiers obviously strengthened a few more teams, Zhou Yu did not relax his vigilance because of this.

Half an hour later, Wu Jun's camp returned to calm again, Fei Yi turned to the east gate, followed the same pattern and asked the soldiers to send out a signal, and suddenly there was a rapid drumbeat again from the lake in the east.

The reeds were closer to Wu Jun's camp, and the sound of the drum sounded as if right next to his ears. Wu Jun's camp responded again, this time obviously faster, and formed formations to wait for the enemy.

Only now did Fei Yi see clearly that there was another layer of layout outside the Wu army's camp, there had been ambushes hiding outside the gate, if Su Fei really went to rob the camp, he would never return.

Seeing the enemy camp so calm and orderly, Fei Yi's expression became more and more serious. Although the plan to disturb the enemy was successful, for a well-trained army, its effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

The Wu army's surprise attack on Xiakou aimed to capture Jiangxia as quickly as possible. Once successful, with the strength of Jingzhou's troops, it may be difficult to regain it.

And looking at the lineup of the Wu army outside the city, I am afraid that Nanyang's reinforcements will arrive, and they will not be Zhou Yu's opponent. Now that Jiang Xia is in danger, I am afraid that only by asking Liu He for help can he save himself from danger.

Thinking of this, Fei Yi himself was taken aback. How could he think of Liu Helai at this time of crisis?
I heard that the imperial court ordered Liu Biao to take up his post in Luoyang Palace a few days ago. I don't know how he made the decision. If Liu Biao is willing to voluntarily give up Jingzhou, he may be able to fight Soochow.

"Sir, next... what should we do?" Just as he was thinking, the soldiers behind him couldn't help asking.

Fei Yi said: "What we have done is to harass Wu's army and make them restless all night. They will be powerless to attack the city tomorrow. There is no need to deliberately send out signals, just play by ear."
