Luo Youdu watched from the city wall as the Shu army bypassed Fengzhou City and entered Chencang Road.
Generals Yang Yuan and Zhao Ding looked at Luo Youdu with incredulous eyes, Shu soldiers had really appeared.
Yang Yuan's mood was the same as that of Zhang Jianxiong who was ambushed in the shallows of the Jialing River. He was extremely shocked.
After half a lifetime of fighting, this is the first time I have encountered something like this, where I can calculate the enemy's movements so accurately.
Although Zhao Jue did not know the specific situation, he also understood that Luo Youdu had seen the movements of the Shu army in advance, and secretly claimed to be surprised.
Luo Youdu frowned, and after a while he smiled and said: "Two generals, according to your experience, how many people are there in this Shu army?"
Yang Yuan said: "Judging from the military formation, it is at least five thousand."
Zhao Jie also said: "The general estimates that it is about four to five thousand."
"Five thousand!"
Luo Youdu thought to himself and said: "It seems that the other party not only wants our food, but also Fengzhou City!"
The internal economy of the Shu Kingdom collapsed, and Li Tinggui and Gao Yancheng would not have many troops. This was what Luo Youdu expected.
But I am determined to be more than five thousand.
Only five thousand appeared, which is enough to show that the opponent still has troops waiting for him to dispatch the garrison in Fengzhou City.
This is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy.
Attack the enemy and save him!
If they don't send reinforcements, they can take the food for themselves unscrupulously.
Without food and salary, the only thing waiting for him is death.
However, if troops are sent to rescue them, they will definitely make dumplings for the remaining Shu soldiers who have not shown up, and they will be trapped in a desperate situation.
Slapping his palm on the wall, Luo Youdu said: "General Yang, General Zhao, take your troops and horses to join forces with General Zhang, attack from the front and back, and eat these five thousand Shu soldiers. General Zhao will kill the enemy in front, General Yang
Behind the palace, be prepared for the Shu soldiers to come from behind. After eating these five thousand Shu soldiers, the three of you will go back together to kill the supporting Shu soldiers."
Yang Yuan and Zhao Ding's expressions suddenly changed at the same time.
Yang Yuan lost his voice and said: "What will happen to Fengzhou if we leave?"
"It doesn't matter!" Luo Youdu said with a calm smile: "There are still two thousand soldiers in the city. The opponent will not rush to attack the city in this situation. They will only turn around when they eat you all and have the food and grass in their hands.
Come, clean up Fengzhou. Having Fengzhou empty means nothing to them."
Yang Yuan said in astonishment: "How can there be two thousand soldiers in Fengzhou?"
Luo Youdu said: "General Zhang's two thousand soldiers and horses! As long as you enter Chencang Road as quickly as possible and kill the Shu soldiers, the Shu soldiers will have no chance to spread the news. The other party will not know that General Zhang's two thousand soldiers and horses have already arrived."
Ambushing in the shallows of the Jialing River, one would only think that his two thousand soldiers and horses are still stationed in Fengzhou. They are surrounding the point for reinforcements. Before the reinforcements are completed, they will not think of attacking the city. Besides..."
The smile on his face became even bigger: "I will not risk my life. If things go wrong, I will run away immediately. So what if I give Fengzhou to them? You have kept the food, just wait for Brother Wang,
Brother Han will fight back and surround Fengzhou, and we will be the ones surrounding the area to provide reinforcements."
Yang Yuan and Zhao Dian saw that Luo Youdu had made up his mind, so they said no more and took the order.
In Yangyuan, after Zhao Ding got off the tower, Cao Bin, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Are you taking a little risk?"
Luo Youdu laughed "haha" and said, "It seems I haven't hidden anything from you!"
Of course he knew there was a safer way.
But playing it safe means not being outstanding and not achieving results.
There are not many opportunities for him to lead troops. What he wants is not that those who are good at fighting will not have great achievements, but to become famous in one battle.
Luo Youdu didn't know if Guo Rong would die early because of his appearance. If there was a butterfly effect and the first hero of the Five Dynasties escaped the fate of dying young, then it would be okay. It can be seen from Guo Rong's attitude that he
If he is determined to suppress the arrogant general, he will have many opportunities.
But if Guo Rong can't escape his fate after all, he won't have much time left for himself.
In just a few short years, it is necessary to master a certain amount of hard power.
Otherwise, it is very likely to suffer backlash and be swallowed up by the times.
You have to gamble, you have to take risks!
Only by grasping opportunities in your hands can you be practical, rather than counting on future changes.
Facing Cao Bin, who had already shown the aura of a famous general, Luo Youdu said boldly: "The world has been in turmoil for hundreds of years, wars have continued, bones are lying in the wild, and the people are in dire straits. The officials are the wise kings who are most likely to end this troubled world. You and I were born in this world.
In troubled times, I happened to meet the Holy Lord, how could I remain unknown all my life? The officials have high hopes for me, and I don’t dare to take any risks. How can I be worthy of his respect? This time I must eat these Shu soldiers.
!”
He didn't know if Guo Rong would know what he said, but he was certain that if he knew it, he would definitely like it.
Guo Rong is a gambler, and taking risks is his innate nature.
Compared with the first problem he encountered after taking the throne, he put all his efforts into a war to show off his power against the Northern Han Dynasty and the Khitan.
What does the danger to myself mean?
"What's more!" A mysterious smile appeared on Luo Youdu's face: "As a person, you must know how to share and never take it for yourself. People can be selfish, but they cannot ignore the interests of others, especially when we are in the same boat. You don't
If you know how to share, you may kick others out of the boat!”
Cao Bin was a little confused.

Maling Village.
"Report! Fengzhou has sent three thousand troops. They have left the city and gone north to Chencang Road."
Li Tinggui waved his arms and said: "Three thousand, it seems Luo Youdu is not stupid! He wants to keep both food and Fengzhou. Waiting for Wang Jing and Han Lingkun's reinforcements... we can't give him this chance!"
"General Zhao, support General Gao first!"
General Zhao Yanpu loudly accepted the order, and three thousand elite soldiers marched northward.
Li Tinggui also led the remaining 7,000 soldiers to march to Fengzhou.
Like Gao Yanchan, neither Li Tinggui nor Zhao Yanpu stayed outside Fengzhou City.
However, compared to Zhao Yanpu who directly entered Chencang Road, Li Tinggui stopped at the entrance of Chencang Road.
Then Li Tinggui set up a formation at the entrance of Chencang Road in the north of Fengzhou.
He had a backup plan to guard against Luo Youdu.
Fengzhou is not of great significance to Li Tinggui, but a Fengzhou with food is of particular significance to him.
Food ranks first, Fengzhou ranks second.
The combat effectiveness of the Zhou army is indeed superior to that of the Shu army. Gao Yanchou's 5,000 soldiers may not be able to defeat the Zhou army's food transport guards and the flanking attack of 3,000 soldiers.
But with Zhao Yanpu's 3,000 troops and horses, and 8,000 soldiers attacking 3,000 Zhou soldiers, there is no reason to lose.
He left seven thousand men to guard the entrance to prevent Luo Youdu from abandoning Fengzhou and blocking himself in Chencang Road with all his troops.
Chencang Road is not conducive to the display of the army, and cannot give the opponent any chance to take advantage of it.
