Pingyuan County, the prefect's office.

In the wide palace hall, eight huge torches were lit on both sides of the left and right, reflecting the warmth and brightness of the hall.

On the desk in the center of the lobby, a candle was lit up as thick as a child's arms on each wing. The red light flashed. The man with a very pale face behind the desk was staring at the letter in his hand attentively.

It was a face with a Chinese character, full of vicissitudes, and a certain unpredictable luster flowed in its deep eyes.

This person is Gongsun Zan's classmate and friend, Liu Bei, the new prefect of Pingyuan.

After examining the letter in his hand for a long time, Liu Bei looked at the left man and asked, "Chang Yun, in your opinion, is this letter from Master Yuan trustworthy?"

The kneeling man was nine feet long, tall and majestic, with a red face like a burning fire, which was Guan Yu.

After hearing Liu Bei's inquiry, Guan Yu opened his half-open and half-closed Danfeng eyes, stroked his long beard that had crossed his abdomen, and slowly said: "I have guessed that Yuan Fang's child is known as ten thousand soldiers and horses, but he is just a bluff. Now Yuan Tan's letters prove my speculation."

"Well, Yun Chang's words are reasonable."

Liu Bei nodded slightly, "When Yun Chang felt that Yuan Fang's military strength was known, how should he deal with him for his brother?"

"My foolish brother thinks that we can take the initiative and lead the light army to Ganling City, and we will definitely catch the child off guard."

Guan Yu was arrogant and extremely confident, and did not take Yuan Fang seriously at all.

Liu Bei weighed the pros and cons, nodded and said, "In the battle of Jieqiao, our side was defeated, and we needed a victory to inspire our morale. Since the Yuan brothers are fighting in the internal struggle, we just happened to get this advantage."

"Brother, wise." Guan Yu bowed and praised.

Liu Bei smiled slightly, but said, "Yide is leading his troops outside. It seems that in this raid, Chief Yun, you have to lead the troops. I wonder how many troops you need, Chief Yun?"

"Three thousand is enough." Guan Yu answered without hesitation.

Liu Bei's expression moved, his eyebrows slightly condensed, as if he felt that Guan Yu only had three thousand soldiers and horses, and he was a little arrogant.

Guan Yu said proudly: "Yuan Fang's child is only 2,000 ragtag people. Yuan Tan said in the letter that Zhu Ling would obey his instructions and would not obey Yuan Fang's orders at critical moments. This time Yu's surprise attack, three thousand elite soldiers were enough to wipe out the child."

Guan Yu is confident, but his confidence makes sense.

Liu Bei pondered for a while and said happily: "It is indeed not necessary to deal with a child who led a soldier for the first time. Since Yun Chang has this confidence, then I will allocate three thousand elite soldiers to send troops to Ganling at night."

Guan Yuteng stood up and bowed and said with a sigh: "It's not time to go, I'll go now. Brother will sit in the plains and wait for my good news."

Guan Yu ordered the military talisman and left with great strides.

Liu Bei personally sent him out of the mansion. Looking at Guan Yu's mighty figure, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Yunchang will definitely win this time. If I can win this battle, Gongsun Bogui will be happy and will definitely add troops to me, haha..."

...

A hundred miles away, Ganling City.

In the big tent, Yuan Fangzheng studied the art of military affairs.

"Young Master is really predictable."

Hao Zhao was full of admiration and rushed in, and bowed: "Just just now, the scouts returned, and there was indeed an enemy army of more than 3,000 people who rushed to Ganling from the southern path. Young Master, your strategy has been successful!"

"Liu Bei, you are indeed here."

Yuan Fang remembers that in history, Yuan Tan and Liu Bei had a close relationship. When Liu Bei fled from Xuzhou and fled to Hebei, Yuan Tan even went out of the city to greet him for a hundred miles.

Bang!

Yuan Fang threw Shu Jian on the desk and shouted, "Send the order to prepare for war, and then quickly pass Zhu Ling to lead three thousand troops to the camp to meet. Remember, tell him to bring all four hundred archers with him."

"No!" Hao Zhao took the order excitedly and left

The atmosphere in the camp quickly became tense. The military waiters gathered their soldiers, sorted out their equipment, sharpened their knives, and were ready to fight at any time.

Half an hour later, Zhu Ling and his troops rushed to the camp to meet.

As soon as he entered the military tent, Zhu Ling said strangely: "The second young master is so anxious to summon general Mo to bring his troops to come. I wonder what emergency military information is there?"

"My scout found out that Liu Bei had sent a group of troops to force Ganling City. I thought he would have wanted to attack my camp at night, so I asked Wenbo to come and help the war."

Zhu Ling has not yet become his confidant, so Yuan Fang cannot give orders to Zhu Ling in a pure tone.

When Zhu Ling heard this, he couldn't help but say suspiciously: "There are no signs east of Ganling that are coming back to the enemy. How did the second young master learn about this information?"

"Liu Bei is a man with some talent for military use. He wants to attack our army at night, so of course he will not choose to walk the avenue. This is the enemy situation my scout discovered from the southern path." Yuan Fang explained.

Zhu Ling then understood the whole story and couldn't help but secretly praised Yuan Fang for his meticulous thoughts and even took strict precautions on the path. However, he himself did not expect that Liu Bei would send troops to come secretly from the path.

While admiring, Zhu Ling suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, "How can the young master determine that the enemy was attacking the camp outside the city instead of directly attacking Ganling City? If our army gathered here, the enemy took advantage of the situation to attack Ganling, what should we do?"

"Don't worry, I promise that the enemy will definitely come to attack my camp." Yuan Fang said confidently.

"But--"

"There is no need to say more about Wenbo, just listen to my order."

Yuan Fang interrupted Zhu Ling's question and said decisively: "If there is a mistake, I will take care of everything."

The matter has not yet come to fruition, and Yuan Fang is not in a hurry to secretly communicate with Liu Bei, reveal their military information, and sue Zhu Ling.

"How come this second young master gets so confident?

Zhu Ling's heart was deeply shocked by Yuan Fang's calm confidence. Although he had doubts in his heart, he no longer asked more questions and just followed the order.

Five thousand soldiers gathered quietly in the camp in the south of the city. Yuan Fang calmly ordered Zhu Ling and Hao Zhao to secretly arrange the five thousand soldiers and horses.

As night comes, it is darker.

In the woods outside the camp, more than 3,000 people were lying in the jungle.

Guan Yu, who looked like a red fire, stood with a knife, stroked his long beard with his hands, and looked coldly and arrogantly at the brightly lit camp outside the forest with a despised look.

In his vision, the enemy camp was quiet, and Guan Yu could even see that the enemy soldiers on duty at the camp gate were yawning bored.

"Yuan Fang'er, indeed, is a rat who doesn't know how to fight, and is unprepared."

A sarcastic sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. On the back of Guan Yu's hand holding the Qinglong Sword, blue veins popped up, and a hint of arrogant murderous aura surged on his hideous face.

The wind blew, dark clouds covered the moon, and the night was like ink splashing.

The timing is right.

Guan Yu turned over the horse, pointed forward with a long sword, shouted sternly: "Follow me to enter the enemy camp, defeat the enemy, and kill the children of the Yuan family to strengthen our army's power!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Yu grabbed the horse's belly and rushed out of the woods.

Thousands of Liu Jun crawling among the bushes rushed out of the woods, followed Guan Yu, and rushed towards Yuan Jun camp with great momentum.

Three thousand Liu Jun was out of power and rushed to the camp gate in a blink of an eye.

The soldiers on duty, Yuan's soldiers were shocked and abandoned the camp gate and fled in scattered. Liu's army broke through the camp without any effort.

Guan Yu took the lead, rode his horse like the wind, and rushed straight towards the central army's tent.

Fang Zi rushed out more than twenty steps, and Guan Yu suddenly felt something was wrong.

Looking around, all the way through the empty camp tents, there were no signs of the enemy at all, just like an empty camp.

"Even if the enemy was caught off guard by me, the soldiers should have fled in panic. Why can't there be no one except the soldiers in the camp?"

Guan Yu suddenly felt an unknown premonition in his heart, and he vaguely realized that he might have been trapped.

Just as Guan Yu was hesitating, he suddenly heard the sound of cannons around the camp.

Accompanied by the rumbling sound, countless figures appeared from the darkness, like ghost soldiers escaping from the underworld, rushing towards Liu Jun who was rushing into the camp from all directions.

The three thousand Liu Jun soldiers who had been empty were already anxious and were instantly penetrated into the abyss of fear by the sudden appearance of enemy ambush.

"How is it possible? Yuan Fang is just a yellow-mouthed child. How can he see through my sneak attack plan? How is this possible!"

Guan Yu was even more shocked, his red face was so scared that he was distorted. His arrogant dignity made him unable to believe this amazing fact.

On the other end in the dark, Yuan Fang, who was standing on the horse, raised a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Zhu Ling beside him said in surprise: "The enemy has indeed come to the camp to rob the enemy. The second young master is really good at predicting things!"

At this moment, Zhu Ling was deeply impressed by Yuan Fang's foresight and was so excited that he couldn't hold back the surprise.

Zhu Ling is also a good general. Yuan Fang was a little proud of being praised by Zhu Ling for the first time.

But he did not show this, but just smiled faintly, raised his whip, and said in a solemn tone: "Liu Bei is here to send someone to the death, how can we not accept it? Send an order to shoot the arrow and shoot me hard!"

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

The sound of war drums soared into the sky.

During the next breath, six hundred archers who had already been in place almost released the bowstring between their fingers at the same time.

Amid the buzzing sound of thousands of birds flapping their wings, countless arrows were shattering the night, roaring towards the panicked enemy like locusts.
Chapter completed!
