The Three Kingdoms

When Cai Ling reported the letter, he was ambushed. Among the ten scouts, he was the only one alive. He was covered in blood and knelt in front of the hall.

"He Qi, what does this mean?"

The veins on the back of Cai Hao's hands were bulging, his face was livid, and his eyes were a little hazy: "It wasn't long before he took down Langxie, and he actually sent troops to Donglai. Could it be that he wants to take Donglai? Or does he want to take it at all? In Qingzhou, isn't he afraid of provoking a war between the two countries?"

"Captain, I'm afraid this matter is not easy!"

Zhang Yun said in a low voice: "Even if He Qi wants to capture Donglai or Qingzhou, he should land from Laizhou Bay and from Dongmou City. Our tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will make it very difficult for him!"

"Cai Ling, are you sure that is He Qi's main force?" Cai Mao asked.

"Captain, that is indeed the flag of He Qi's chief general, and at least [-] troops have landed. We are on the top of the city and saw it with our own eyes. It is absolutely true!"

Cai Ling said hastily.

"It seems that they came here with fierce intentions!" Cai Mao gritted his teeth: "This battle, we can't do without it!"

"We have to fight, but the governor, the location of Dongmou City is not the main strategic location for Donglai. If there is a fraud, our main force will be stuck here!" Zhang Yun reminded.

"No matter what, Cai Zhen must save him!"

Cai Mao stood up, paced back and forth a few times, and then came down to order: "The first fleet and the second fleet can't move, let Wu Anguo go, his soldiers can't fight at sea, but on land, they should be able to fight. To guard against fraud, I want him to send [-] troops, with [-] fresh troops, plus Cai Zhen's soldiers and horses, even if it is He Qi's main force, it may not be able to succeed in a short period of time."

"promise!"

Zhang Yun nodded, and quickly passed the military order. (to be continued...)

[Chapter 798 of the Battle of Qingzhou IV]

A large-scale fleet quietly docked on the endless sea, with a huge five-story ship in the middle.

A spacious strategic analysis cabin atop the ship.

All the generals of the Raging Flame Army gathered together, and the chief general He Qi sat in the center, looking at the strategic map in front of him, his fingers constantly tapping on the desk.

The generals around him were also a little quiet, they were waiting, waiting for the opportunity to attack.

After a while, He Qi raised his head indifferently, looked at the blue sky beyond the cabin, and asked, "Is there any news yet?"

"no!"

A deputy staff officer beside him shook his head and said: "According to the time, Mount Tai has already started, and Chen Heng has already attacked Dong Mou. It's hard to say whether he can move the tiger away from the mountain!"

"General, Chen Heng only has [-] soldiers, can he let Cai Mao mobilize the main force to go straight to Dongmou?" asked the commander of Lie Yan's first division.

"Keep an eye on Qianshan Gorge, as long as Cai Mao's first fleet moves, then their main force will move!"

He Qi dropped the baton and said calmly: "We have to trust our people. Chen Heng is a fierce general, and Yu Sheng is a wise general. With their cooperation, even if Cai Mao cannot use all his main force, he can still bluff Stop him!"

"Then shall we just keep waiting?"

The commander of another main division asked.

("wait!"

He Qi nodded: "We have to be patient in war, we have to compare patience with Cai Mao, pass on the order, the fleet will retreat another ten nautical miles, and the scout ships in Laizhou Bay must not find it!"

"promise!"

A soldier quickly went down to deliver the order.

During the outbreak of war in Qingzhou, a secret letter from Jinling City also fell before the letter written by Lu Bu, the chief general of the Flying Tiger Camp.

"Xu Du?"

Lu Bu looked at the secret letter written by Sun Quan, with a pair of tiger eyes bursting out with awe-inspiring light.

"General, Your Majesty seems to be in a difficult position!" Shi Tao gasped and said in a low voice.

"This is not a military order. If it was a military order, it would be an imperial decree or an official document from the military aircraft department for a certain family. This is just a secret letter from the king!"

Lu Bu said in a deep voice: "We can fight or give up. Your Majesty needs us to fight Xu Du, but he also knows it. This is a very risky fight, so he gave us a chance to choose!"

"The general thinks, to fight or not to fight?" Shi Tao looked at Lu Bu.

"Hit? Or not?"

Lu Bu narrowed his eyes slightly, and rubbed the thumb and index finger of his right hand, and he was struggling a little.

After a while, he walked up to a rectangular sand table and looked at the topographic maps of Jingzhou and Yuzhou: "If you want to fight Xudu, you have to pull out Nanyang. But we don't have the ability to kill Zhang Xiu, so if If you want to fight, you have to fight a surprise battle!"

"What does the general mean, fight?" Shi Tao's pupils shrank slightly.

"This general doesn't know why the king suddenly asked us to fight Xudu, but he knew very well that this is a difficult task, but he still asked us to do it. It proves that the current state of Wu needs us to fight this war!"

Lu Bu said resolutely: "In that case, we can only fight!"

"But if you can get in, you may not be able to get out!" Shi Tao persuaded: "The general should think twice, this is a battle to the death!"

"That's not necessarily the case!" A confident smile appeared on Lu Bu's sharp-edged face: "I, Lu Bu, if I can get in, I can get out!"

"General. After all, Xudu is the former capital of the Wei Dynasty. Not to mention the high walls, there are over [-] troops in the city. In the vicinity of Xudu, the Yuzhou army is not weak. Also, once you break through Zhang Xiu's defense line, Zhang Xiu will definitely I will become angry from embarrassment, and I will definitely do my best to deal with you, facing the front and back attacks..."

Shi Tao didn't go on talking, he also knew how dangerous it was.

"Your Majesty means that we are not going to take down Xudu, but attack Xudu!" Lu Bu emphasized.

"Attack Xudu? Take Xudu?"

Shi Tao was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood the difference, and quickly said: "If this is the case, we can fight, the key is the cavalry."

"cavalry?"

Lu Bu heard the words, thought for a while, and said: "The cavalry in the Flying Tiger Camp are useless. We only have to borrow troops. If we borrow the Overlord's Iron Cavalry and Baima Yicong, I will leave with peace of mind for this trip!"

"Bawang cavalry is not difficult!" Shi Tao said: "They are in Shangyong now, they can be transferred back, but Baima Yicong, that is the elite cavalry defending the capital!"

"Borrow, borrow from the king!" Lu Bu said domineeringly: "If he doesn't even borrow soldiers for the mission he assigned, I won't go!"

"I'm going to write to the king immediately!"

Shi Tao nodded.

"It's not enough to have cavalry, but you also need a general!" Lu Bu said with sharp eyes, "This battle is all about showing off your might, and you must have a strong surprise attack ability. In Jingzhou, I can imagine that there is only one person!"

"Tai Shi Ci!" Shi Tao's eyes lit up.

"That's right!"
