Huang Wan's decision was unanimously opposed by He Kui and others.

The original plan was that Huang Wan would go back to Xiangcheng, occasionally go out, cross the Ru River, visit near Ziyunling, and then hid heavily in Heilonggou at the foot of the ridge. Heilonggou was originally a big river, but later the water source of the upper reaches was changed, and now there was only a small river left. The river was not deep, but the river channel was very wide, which was very suitable for ambush, especially cavalry assault. If Huang Zhong came, the cavalry would first launch an assault, disperse Huang Zhong's formation, and then shoot with prepared crossbows, which would win a great victory.

However, Lei Xiu and Yu were both outside Heilonggou, and there was no terrain suitable for cavalry attack nearby. If Huang Zhong appeared there, the cavalry could not be used and could only launch an attack with infantry, and the chance of success was greatly reduced. If Huang Zhong's good combat and the elite of the Nanyang soldiers, there was almost no chance of success in this battle, and it would be impossible to say who ambushed him.

Huang Wan insisted on doing this. He had his reasons. First, time did not wait for anyone. The food provided by the Yingchuan family could not last long. Finally, he had to provide military rations in Luoyang. Huang Zhong stationed his troops here, and the purpose was probably to rob the grain. The army had no food and was chasing itself, and the food route was cut off. No matter how many troops were, it was useless. Huang Zhong had to lure Huang Zhong before the military rations were exhausted. First, Huang Zhong was cautious. If he did not let him see the possibility of success, he might never attack. Since it was a trap, he would have to let the prey see profitable, but the risk was not great. The reason why Huang Zhong did not appear for a long time was because our plan was too conservative, and Huang Zhong was worried about ambushing.

Finally, since it is an ambush, accidents are the key. When things happen suddenly, the strong crossbows are launched at the same time. The winner is only a few people, and there are not so many people. There can only be a few hundred people hidden in the Thunder Cave, and Yu can only hide three thousand people when he goes on stage. We don’t need to ambush so many people at all. Just bring a few hundred personal guards. If the ambush fails and is surrounded by Huang Zhong, it can also be supported until reinforcements appear.

He Kui and others could not resist Huang Wan, so they had to agree.

Huang Wan immediately adjusted the deployment of troops and drew 300 elite guards to accompany him. Each of them had a three-stone crossbow and specially prepared more than ten six-stone crossbows. The remaining people remained still, waiting for the order for reinforcements.

The next day, Huang Wan, under the protection of the three hundred guards, visited the Thunder Cave, and was safe and nothing happened.

On the third day, he went further and then went on stage, but nothing happened.

Standing on Yu's stage and looking at the setting sunset westward, Huang Wan was a little angry, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. He paced back and forth, looking up at the distant mountains and forests from time to time, asking questions in his heart again and again.

"Huang Zhong, where are you?"

He Kui and others looked at each other. They knew that Huang Wan was anxious, but they had no choice but to do anything. No matter how good your plan was, what tricks could you do if the other party was not fooled? Seeing that it was getting late, He Kui could not get over, so he had to come forward to ask for instructions. It was time to go back to the city, and camping in the wild in the middle of the night was too dangerous.

"Dangerous?" Huang Wan sneered: "I think Huang Zhong is either incompetent, deaf and blind, or a coward, as timid as a mouse. He only dares to hide in the mountains and does not dare to fight me. He will not go back to the city today, and will camp here. If he doesn't dare to come, I will go to Zhanpu tomorrow."

He Kui was so scared that he was so desperate that he tried his best to dissuade him. Huang Wan refused and scolded He Kui. He has been an official for many years and has always been known for his decisive behavior. He was angry at this moment and was even more imposing. He Kui couldn't persuade him at all. He asked Huang Wan for troops to deploy defense, but was rejected by Huang Wan. In desperation, he had to let He Xian pay attention to the movements around him, and privately notify the soldiers who were receiving him not to disarm. He opened his eyes wide and waited all night. If there was any situation, he immediately reinforced him to avoid delaying the opportunity for war.

——

Three miles west of Heilonggou, on an unknown mountain, Huang Zhong stood in the forest, spreading his arrows, watching the galloping horses on the slope, and letting go of his fingers.

The feather arrow left the string.

The next moment, the knight was caught in an arrow and turned over and fell off the horse. Several figures jumped out of the forest. The knight struggled on the ground, trying to get the bow and shot out the whistle on his body to warn him, but he was injured by the arrow and was unable to move. He was pressed down by the guards who rushed out, knocked out with a punch, dragged back to the forest, and someone rushed over and pulled the horse into the forest and put a bridle on it to prevent the horse from neighing and making a sound.

A few birds cries sounded in the forest, and they spread farther and farther away.

Several guards cooperated tacitly and quickly searched the knight's body, but received nothing. The guards were not in a hurry. They held the knight's body, and each took out a pot of wine and poured it on the knight. The knight woke up and was about to struggle, his neck cooled down, and a short knife was placed on his neck. The coldness penetrated into his skin, causing the cold hair to stand on its back, and the cry for help was cut off before it could even be heard.

"Tell me, what order did you just come to pass?"

"I……"

"You'd better think about it before talking." Li Yan, who was holding a short knife, tilted his mouth and smiled gloomy. "We have already caught one, and he said it, we don't know whether it is true or false, so we caught you to verify it. If you both said that, you can live, you won't match, and die together. I will count dozens of numbers and tens of numbers, and you won't say it, and I will send you on the road. Ten, nine..."

The knight's face turned pale and his eyes were rolling around. He looked at Li Yan's face, looked at the short knife in his hand, and looked around again. Li Yan was not in a hurry, counting slowly. "Five, Four..." He waved his hand and signaled to his companion beside him. "Notify the general to grab another one, this mouth is harder. Three, Two..." The knife was slightly used in his hand and the blade cut the knight's skin.

"I said, I said." The Knight collapsed and sweated heavily.

Li Yan stopped, the knife was still pressing against the knight's neck, and blood slowly flowed out. Li Yan grinned. "Tell me, don't waste my time."

"Taiwei Huang was staying in Yu's stage and asked the ambushers hidden in Heilonggou to prepare. When he saw Yu's stage, he raised fire and reinforced him immediately. All I said was true. Don't kill me, don't kill me." The knight cried in tears, and as he said, he collapsed on the ground, softly turning.

Li Yan snorted disdainfully, put away his short knife, cut it into the knight's neck with one palm, knocking him out again, and someone tied him to a tree and stuffed his mouth tightly with a cloth. He walked to Huang Zhong. "General, you guessed it, Huang Wan was crazy, and he would use her body as bait and insisted on seducing you out."

Huang Zhong raised his eyebrows and looked puzzled. "Why did he think I want to kill him?"

Li Yan couldn't help laughing. "Don't the general want to kill him? He is the Grand Marshal, and his head is very valuable."

"Yes, his head is indeed very valuable, but have he ever thought that his intention to trap is too obvious when he does this? The chief general of the army is willing to take risks to tempt me just to lure me. I have public revenge with him, but there is no personal hatred. The two armies are fighting and fighting, but there is no need to kill you to the death. Personal life and death are not so important."

Li Yan scratched his head, and felt that he could not imagine Huang Wan's thinking. "General, what should we do?"
