In fact, Zhang Fei had a supporting army, which was the [-] navy led by Sun Zhongjin, the left admiral of the Danzhou Navy, and the [-] soldiers and horses led by Zhou Cangshuang set off with Sun Zhongjin.

Zhang Fei gathered his army together and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders to attack the southern city of Cui County. From Cui County's point of view, Zhang Fei's army is now under Licheng City, so the defense is relatively lax, and Zhang Fei abandoned all of them at night. The strong attack caught Cui County by surprise.

Cui County was quickly boarded by the Han army, and the defenders at the other city walls only knew that the city was broken, so they fled in all directions. Of course, most of the soldiers were arrested with the arrest of Cui's patriarch.

Then Zhang Fei left Sun Zhongjin and Zhou Cang to guard Cui County, and he personally led the soldiers and horses back to Licheng. It can be said that some of the soldiers and horses were not lost on the battlefield, but on the march.

Next, Zhang Fei ambushed in the camp and wiped out the two soldiers and horses that the Qi army had left the city.

One link after another, Zhang Fei can be said to have used the strategy and the art of war to the extreme.

When Huang Zhong killed He Yi, Zhang Fei, who was under the city of Licheng, repeated his old trick. Except for one battalion of soldiers and horses left to guard the camp, the rest of the soldiers and horses went to Pindu County under Zhang Fei's leadership.

Although Licheng suspects that the camp of the Han army is empty, but with the lessons learned from the almost complete annihilation last time, and Xiangtu's coma from time to time, the generals were already terrified. Du County asked them to be careful of Zhang Fei's sneak attack.

At this time, Liu De also joined Guan Yu's troops. Regardless of his physical fatigue, Liu De held a military meeting overnight.

"Now Zhang Fei has captured Cui County, but Licheng has not yet been captured."

"Huang Zhong also controlled the main road to the southwest of Mount Tai."

Liu De frowned suddenly: "Our soldiers and horses in both directions are so smooth, but Xiang Yu's troops and horses are nowhere to be seen. What does Xiang Yu want to do?"

Xun You said: "Your Highness, Xiang Yu is good at light cavalry and surprise attacks, and his martial arts skills are superb, so we should be careful."

Luo Ben was a bit bored sitting in the tent, but when he heard what Xun You said, he couldn't help but snorted coldly, got up and said, "Sometimes I often hear you say that Xiang Yu's martial arts is the best in the world, so I want to see if this Yu is the best!" It's not that he really has the ability, as long as Xiang Yu dares to come, I will let him taste the power of a certain hook and sickle spear."

Liu De looked at the map on the table, and said, "Xiang Yu's troops must be in this position."

Liu De stroked it with his hand. The general area is the junction of Luzhou and Dongzhou, involving four counties.

"Xiang Yu can radiate the entire Danzhou here, and Licheng is not lost, and we can't threaten Xiang Yu's rear. Our primary goal is to find out the movements of Xiang Yu's army."

"If he doesn't come out, let's lure him out!"

Liu De finally said.

Liu De also didn't want the flames of war to reach his own territory, and it was extremely cold in winter. Although the Han army was fully prepared, Liu De still hoped to wipe out the main force of the Qi army as soon as possible and regain the three prefectures of Dong, Lu, and Huai.

Liu De is going to lead his troops into Luzhou.

And where is Xiang Yu at this time?

Fan Ji stroked his gray beard, stood in the tent and stared at the map in the center of the tent, and besides Xiang Yu, who was tall and handsome, there was another person sitting side by side with Xiang Yu in the tent.

Fan Ji clasped his hands to Xiang Yu and the man and said, "Your Highness, the rear general, Liu De personally led the army into Luzhou, this is to lure our army to fight!"

Xiang Yu said with a smile: "Liu De is a man who has fought all over the world. Except for one time he suffered from Uncle Yang, he basically has no defeats. Competing with this son makes Gu even more excited!"

Then Xiang Yu said: "Luzhou is already dilapidated. I ordered the guards of the cities to forcibly relocate the people, and those who refused to accept it were killed, and then all the trees in the city were burned. Some people wanted the Han army to have no shelter and no firewood. As a bait, he thought that Gu was a reckless man who would lead an army to sneak attack, but Gu refused to let him do what he wanted. If Gu is exhausted, it depends on whether he can afford it too?"

When Fan Ji heard Xiang Yu's words, he nodded in relief. His lord had finally grown up.

Then Xiang Yu turned his head and said to the fellow sitting with him: "General Long, I hope you will lead the Tianlong Army to detour to the east of Luzhou. When the Han army is weak, we will send troops together to strangle Liu De completely, and wait until the main force of the Han army is wiped out." , I must send troops to support the general and expel Lu Congshou from Lingzhou."

Long Kun nodded: "Da Shan, just follow what His Highness said!"

Chapter 6 Thirty

"Fortify the walls to clear the land, burn the city, and forcefully relocate the people. Xiang Yu is not afraid of public grievances. Is the rear unstable?"

When Liu De's army marched to Luzhou, they heard Xiang Yu's series of methods, and all the generals were a little horrified.

Du Ruhui stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Xiang Yu's rule over the people is already brutal, so how can he be afraid of people's grievances? What's more, Luzhou has no support from the people, like chicken ribs, it's tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to discard it. Xiang Yu does this The poison scheme also makes sense!

Xiang Yu makes good use of Qingqi. This vicious trick can lengthen our food road and make it difficult to supply, trying to drag us down.So, Your Highness, we should not let Qi Jun lead us by the nose. "

"Tell me!"

Liu De flicked up his robe, sat down in the tent, and signaled Du Ruhui to continue.

Du Ruhui said again: "Although this plan is not good for our army, the Qi army is also self-defeating by [-]. Forced relocation of the people will inevitably cause the Qi army to be short of food and grass. If the people are not relieved, there will definitely be turmoil, and Xiang Yu's army will have some troubles." Half of them are soldiers from Huaizhou, and it is now winter, how can the soldiers from Huaizhou adapt to the cold winter in the north, Your Highness, it is better to bring the army back to the border and wait for the enemy to chaos itself."

Liu De thought for a moment, but said: "Now that the two generals Zhang and Huang have occupied the enemy's vital points, if our army withdraws, will the two generals Zhang and Huang withdraw? If we withdraw, we will give up our great advantage. If the enemy does not withdraw, the two generals Zhang and Huang will be alone in the enemy's territory, and the whole army is in danger of being wiped out.

But the army returned without success, and the loss of food and logistics in the rear is already incalculable. The soldiers went out alone, but failed to achieve an inch, which would inevitably lead to low morale, and when the people in the rear learned of this, rumors would spread. If someone with a heart takes advantage of it, the rear will be unstable.

The most important point is that the world has been in turmoil for nearly ten years, and I want to calm down this turbulent world as soon as possible, so that the people will not be displaced by war. , there will be no more lonely opponents in the world.”

Du Ruhui immediately bowed: "It is really a blessing for all the people in the world to have His Highness here!"

"That being the case, let's discuss where Xiang Yu will attack us."

Liu De liked Du Ruhui's rainbow fart very much, but he still kept his face unchanged and continued to discuss military plans with the generals.

"General, what is your order?"

Liu Menglong asked Huang Zhong.

General Huang Zhong handed the order to Liu Menglong, and said to the other generals: "In the letter, most of Xiang Yu's soldiers and horses are concentrated in Luzhou, so His Highness ordered us to continue to march eastward, and cooperate with General Zhang Fei Zhang to completely wipe out Dongzhou."

Liu Menglong didn't think too much, but rather excitedly said: "In this case, let's follow His Highness's order and set off as soon as possible! After calming down a state, maybe I can also be conferred a title by His Highness."

Liu Rengui frowned and said, "Since Xiang Yu's army is in Luzhou, then Xiang Yu probably wants to surround His Highness in Luzhou, and we should go around to support His Highness. Why does Your Highness let us continue to pacify Dongzhou?"

"How could His Highness not know these things? What's more, there are Xun Shizhong and Du Shizhong by their side, so we can just follow the military orders!"

Liu Menglong retorted directly.

Huang Zhong quite agrees with what Liu Menglong said, "This old man is 51 years old this year, so he can be called an old man. Back then, my greatest hope was to keep my son Huang Xu alive. Fortunately, I met Your Highness. My son was rescued by Hua Shenhua. Although my son's body is still weak, there is no danger of his life, so the old man's old bones are handed over to His Highness, and he is sent by His Highness.

And the old man's current wish is to take advantage of the old man's ability to wield a big sword and draw a strong bow, follow His Highness behind, and calm this troubled world. Since His Highness has orders, why should there be doubts?Follow His Highness's orders! "

"Yes!"

The generals immediately bowed their hands and said yes.

When the generals came out of the big tent, Liu Rengui grabbed Liu Menglong's sleeve and said to him, "Menglong, come with me!"

"What's the matter, brother?"

Liu Menglong asked puzzledly.

However, Liu Rengui was angry, and said to Liu Menglong in a cold voice: "You said that we acted according to His Highness's orders. As a general, it is a sign of loyalty, but why did you mention the title of knighthood!"

Liu Menglong was a little puzzled, "Why can't you mention the title of knighthood? If you pacify Dongzhou, it should be a great achievement. Although you are only a partial general, if you make meritorious service, why can't you be knighted?"

"His Royal Highness treats all the officers and men leniently and strictly, but if there is meritorious service, is there any reason not to reward it?"
