There is Zhaoyang Lake to the north of Xiaopei City, with blue waves thousands of miles away. It is so beautiful that it is connected to the waters of the Yellow River. You can set off with a small boat and go down the river to Langye. Now the Chu army has deployed five thousand elite troops here to guard the key points.

Business travel was cut off.

In this way, Xiaopei can only go to Xiapi by land. After taking the land route, there is an official road to the south. However, this is where the Chu army's central camp is located, and it is heavily guarded. The only way left is to go east, and there is an official road to the east.

There is an official road and two small roads, but now there seems to be no checkpoints to intercept them, making it difficult to figure out the military's intentions.

"Zi Yuan, why do you conclude that Guan Yu will escape tonight?"

It was already late at night, but the lights were brightly lit in the Chu army's central tent, and a group of generals were standing densely. The person who had just asked Ji Shu was the King of Chu, Sun Ce. Sun Ce was wearing armor and a red suit.

He was wearing a robe, with a sword hanging on his waist, and looked majestic, but he didn't look like he was about to fall asleep.

"Why doesn't he run?"

Ji Shu stood next to the sand table in the middle of the tent, his face full of seriousness and coldness at this moment.

"Guan Yu is here to hold off our 50,000-strong army until Zhuge Liang wins the battle on the Yangtze River. Xiaopei's supply of food and grass is getting harder and harder to maintain. Every day he delays, the army's combat effectiveness drops by one point. Now he knows that Zhuge Liang

After a huge defeat, wouldn't he be waiting for death if he didn't run away? Perhaps, he naively thought that his troops were Xu Han's last chance to make a comeback."

Although Ji Shu had a straight face, his words made the tense atmosphere in the tent suddenly become much more relaxed.

Sun Ce couldn't help but smile.

"Oh, do you think Xu Han still has a chance to make a comeback?"

"After tonight, Xu Han will have no chance of living again."

Ji Shu's voice was very calm, as if he was just stating an arrogant fact.

And this was exactly what Sun Ce wanted to hear. It was no joke to say it on this occasion from Ji Shu, who was always meticulous. Sun Ce smiled very happily. He had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.

"Okay! Then it's up to you to give the orders."

Ji Shu cupped his hands and bowed gently to Sun Ce.

"Ji Shu takes orders."

"Ding Feng."

As soon as Ji Shu finished speaking, a young man among the generals stood forward, clasped his fists and answered.

"Ding Fengzai."

"The 5,000 elite troops in the north of the city are under your command. If the Han army breaks through, they must defend the defense line and wait for our pursuers to arrive."

"The last general takes orders."

To the north of Xiaopei is a river, and the available boats have long been controlled or burned by the Chu army. If the Han army breaks out from here, how many people can escape? It is conceivable that this place will never be the main direction of the Han army's attack.

Taking a step back, if Guan Yu really puts the main attack direction here, how many people can escape, then Xu Han has nothing to fear. Even if Guan Yu and Xu Shu escape, how long can they escape?

Then, Ji Shu pointed to Xiaopei City on the sand table and said.

"I will lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to launch a fierce attack from the west, directly enter the city, and force the Han army to flee eastward; and brother, you will lead 15,000 elite soldiers to guard the camp, completely block the road to the south, and support other places at any time according to the situation.

how?"

"good."

Sun Ce knew that Ji Shu deliberately did not place him on the front line, so he was asked to guard the Chinese army camp where the Han army was least likely to break out and was also the safest. But Sun Ce didn't talk nonsense. Since he said that Ji Shu would give orders, he naturally

He must also obey Ji Shu's arrangements. What's more, now he understands his identity better than ever before.

Seeing Sun Ce nod, Ji Shu turned around and said.

"Jiang Qin."

"Jiang Qin is here."

"You lead 10,000 troops and hide on both sides of the official road to the east. If Guan Yu comes from here, don't be stingy with arrows, rolling stones, or kerosene. Use as much as you can. Eliminate Guan Yu's troops, and you will be credited with your first achievement!"

"

"Subordinates take orders."

Jiang Qin solemnly clasped his fists and stepped back. Ji Shu looked around the crowd and continued.

"That's what I said, but I think Guan Yu most likely took the two trails on the south side of the official road. One is adjacent to the official road and goes through Wangshuang Mountain to Xiapi; the other is further south, leading to Xiapi via Xilu Mountain.

.”

"Reporting to the military advisor, the general requested to guard Xilu Mountain!"

As soon as Ji Shu finished speaking, someone came forward eagerly to ask for a fight. Everyone turned around and saw that this person was Wei Yan.

Ji Shu looked at Wei Yan with great interest and said.

"Do you think Guan Yu will go here?"

"yes."

Wei Yan answered without any hesitation, which made Ji Shu a little curious.

"Why?"

You must know that this road is very close to the Chu army's central camp. Sun Ce's reinforcements will arrive within half an hour. If they cannot break through quickly, Guan Yu will be surrounded by heavy encirclement.

Compared with the other two roads to the east, this road has the highest risk on the surface. Of course, the possibility of Guan Yu's soldiers making dangerous moves cannot be ruled out, so Ji Shu is not sure.

"No reason, because I know him."

Wei Yan's words made Ji Shu and Sun Ce look at each other and smile, and Sun Ce made the first decision.

"Okay! I will let you lead five thousand elite troops to guard Xilu Mountain. If you encounter Guan Yu, you will hold on until reinforcements arrive to surround and suppress Guan Yu."

"The last general takes command!"

Wei Yan clasped his fists in agreement and retreated, with a hint of excitement in his voice.

Since Sun Ce agreed to Wei Yan, there is only one way left, Ji Shu continued.

"The rest of Wang Shuangshan will be guarded by Su Fei, and I will also allocate five thousand elite troops to you."

After Su Fei heard this, he hurriedly stood up and said with fists in his hands.

"The last general takes command!"

At this point, the deployment of troops and the generals had been arranged, and other junior generals were ordered to cooperate with the generals, and the military meeting dispersed.

Su Fei caught up with Wei Yan and said with a smile.

"Hey, Old Wei, if Guan Yu comes to my side, I will definitely leave him to you."

To be honest, Wei Yan didn't quite understand this man. He was just familiar with him, but he had already plotted against Su Fei. Why did this man become closer to him? This time, he had to give him the chance to deal with Guan Yu.

Wei Yan said.

"Thanks."

Su Fei laughed twice and patted Wei Yan on the shoulder.

"Heroes cherish each other, I understand, I understand!"

Wei Yan gave him a cold look and left.

??????

The autumn wind is as expected, the moonlit night is slightly cold, the cold frost irritates the skin, and sometimes goosebumps appear all over the body when touching the cold blade.

The night was quiet, and the brazier on top of Xiaopei City in the distance was flickering with sparks.

Standing in the darkness, Ji Shu's heart felt extremely peaceful. The long sword was unsheathed, reflecting the silver light in the moonlight.

"shooting!"

The cold voice spread far in the quiet night.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

It was as if the sound of a slingshot was amplified ten times, and a whizzing sound was heard in the air, making people aware that it was the sound of a heavy object breaking through the air. But soon there was no need to think or distinguish anything.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In a trance, it seemed as if all the stones were smashed together, and the stones hit the city with a thunderous sound. In such a night, it was impossible to tell whether the stones were broken or the city wall was broken.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

On the top of the city, the voices of the Han army were drowned out, and there was noise everywhere. The whole city was like a wild beast that had been awakened.

The stone-carrying attack lasted for a quarter of an hour before Ji Shu ordered the stone-throwing to stop.

"Kill~~"

The soldiers slapped their shields with their swords and shouted at the top of their lungs, but they did not take a step. Only the soldiers beside the stone-discharging cart loaded their stone bullets as usual.

"Fire the arrow!" "Fire the arrow!"

The soldiers of the Han army finally came to their senses, and scattered and scattered arrows rained down the city.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

What responded to them was a new round of stone-throwing attacks from the Chu army.
