Chapter 94: Temptation 1/6)
"Liu Bo is often tricky. In order to prevent his plan, our army should calmly and wait for his arrival to make a response plan for his arrangements." Li Fu carefully explained the reason to Wang Dan in the hall.
However, although he looked serious and had a sincere tone, he had no good impression in Wang Dan's eyes.
Without immediately refuting Li Fu, Wang Dan looked around the people in the hall and looked at Huang Quan first, "Gongheng thought, can he be ambushed out of the city and caught the enemy off guard?"
Huang Quan looked calm and thought for a long time before he spoke slowly, "Now, the enemy and our troops are unknown, and it is impossible to judge whether Liu Fan will clear the hills on both sides of the mountain road. If he acts rashly, there is indeed a risk of being attacked. Instead of taking the risk to bear this risk, I think it is safer to stick to Langzhong as Sun De said."
"So, Gongheng doesn't agree with taking the initiative?" His face began to be a little gloomy. "So, I have to wait until Liu Fan sets up camp under the city before he can fight him?"
Silently, Wang Dan said this, but there was a hint of insinuation in it, and neither Li Fu nor Huang Quan responded.
After a while, Wang Dan sneered and said quietly: "Didn't Gongheng be worried that the people would cause riots to the county after entering Langzhong? Now that the enemy is in front of you, Gongheng doesn't have this worry?"
"As Wang Jun said, now that the enemy is in front of you, the arrival of the soldiers can be used as a means to deal with Liu Fan. Originally, when Langzhong was stable, the people who had nothing to do would inevitably breed chaos. At present, there is something to do, and the people who had no time to cause trouble!"
With a cold snorting, Huang Quan explained without any problem. But as the chief general of Langzhong, his proposal to go out to fight was repeatedly refuted, and Wang Dan was unhappy no matter what. Next, he no longer talked about the matter of insisting on sending troops and began to arrange city defense.
Although Wang Dan was unwilling to leave the city to teach Liu Fan a lesson, he didn't want to have a rift with Li Fu and Huang Quan at this time.
There was no movement in Langzhong City, and the people outside the city were anxiously scratching their ears and heads.
Tickling his neck with depression, Pang De held the big knife in his hand to the ground and spat fiercely in the direction of Langzhong, "Baozi! You don't even dare to attack after leaving the city!"
Pang De was really a little anxious. From the time he sent troops in Chengdu to the present, he had no record of anything except for the surprise attack in Pingyang Township. On the other hand, Gan Ning and Zhang Ren, who followed Liu Fan, killed the generals in front of the formation and captured the county, were doing great things in a great way. But Pang Lingming could only watch, which made him not anxious.
Now I finally have a chance to lead troops alone to put pressure on Langzhong. As long as the guards in Langzhong City dare to come out, Pang De will be sure to kill him on the spot. But this guy is so good that he hurried in the city and does not move, just focusing on increasing the city defense, and his courage is not ordinary.
Staring at Langzhong City angrily, Pang De could only scatter his scouts and try to inquire more information. If the defenders in the city did not go to fight, he had no choice but to do some auxiliary work. He had to wait until Liu Fan arrived in Langzhong if he lured the enemy out of the city.
After Liu Fan's army set out from Zitong, they also rushed straight to Langzhong. The leading pioneer was not someone else, but Zhang Ren. As a general in Shu, Zhang Ren still had a lot of experience in mountain combat. While opening the road, he continued to send Bashu mountain soldiers to search for ambush on both sides of the mountains.
Fortunately, Wang Dan did not come out, otherwise Liu Fan had not arrived in Langzhong yet, and Zhang Ren, as the vanguard general, would have made great contributions again. With Zhang Ren's meticulous vanguard, the rear army was worried about moving and headed straight to the city of Langzhong.
At the top of Langzhong City, Wang Dan had just commanded the soldiers to carry a large number of thunderstones and turbulent bows and arrows to the city wall. A scout came to report that the soldiers were moving in the direction of Zitong Mountain Road.
He quickly came to the observation deck and looked towards Zi Tong. The mountain road in the past was already crowded with people. It was Liu Fan's vanguard army that had arrived at Langzhong. His face was embarrassed, and Wang Dan was still unhappy. Liu Fan was clearly marching in a hurry. If he had set up an ambush on the mountain road according to his own plan, he would have caught them off guard.
Unfortunately, it is already in vain to say this.
Seeing Zhang Ren lead the vanguard army to occupy the favorable terrain silently, Liu Fan's vanguard army began to set up camps and faced Langzhong City from afar. It seemed that Liu Fan was preparing to have a protracted battle.
Li Fu, Huang Quan and others who heard that Liu Fan's army had arrived also quickly came to the city. Looking at Zhang Ren's army who was secretly accused of building a village in the distance, and Liu Fanjun who was constantly walking out of the mountain road behind, everyone knew that the war was really coming.
"Sun De, at their march speed, if I determine that they are marching urgently, do you have any objections?" The voice was cold. Wang Dan did not look at Li Fu again this time, but just looked ahead and asked.
Li Fu lowered his head silently, and Li Fanjun's marching was too fast.
While everyone was watching Liu Fan's army on the Langzhong City Tower, Liu Fan also led the central army out of the mountain road and came to the front of the headquarters. Liu Fan stood on his horse, holding a whip rope in his hand, and said with a smile: "Xiaozhi, do you guess, how many days will I take this city?"
He stood beside Liu Fan with a smile, and Fa Zheng looked at Langzhong City in the distance, thought for a while, and then replied with a smile: "It's less than ten months, otherwise it will be autumn if it's consumed. The lord should not like fighting in winter!"
Turning his head to look at Fazheng, Liu Fan laughed, and pointed at Fazheng with a whip rope. He shook his head and smiled happily, "No, you Faxiaozhi said it was hit by your Fazhen. The winter is bitter and cold, I won't fight!"
After saying that, Liu Fan turned his head and shouted behind him, "Justice, you are responsible for this place. I will go to Langzhong City to meet my old friends!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ren, who was commanding soldiers to set up camp, responded to his promise from a distance, laughing loudly, and Liu Fan immediately rode his horse toward Langzhong City.
On Langzhong City, Wang Dan and others also saw dozens of cavalry running towards this place. They turned their heads to look at Li Fu and nodded with a solemn expression. Everyone knew in their hearts that the person coming was probably Liu Bochang.
Before everyone could adjust their mentality, Liu Fan, who had already arrived at the city, shouted loudly, "Lisun De, listen, let Li Sunde speak!"
After the words came, everyone looked at each other and turned their eyes to Li Fu. Li Fu had no choice but to stand up with a tough bullet.
Seeing a blurred face appearing on the top of the city, Liu Fan guessed that it was Li Fu, and pulled the reins. Liu Fan smiled and looked at Li Fu, "Sun De hasn't seen him for several days, so don't be fine!"
"The General of the Central Army is a hero, why bother to mock him!"
"Hahaha!" Liu Fan looked up and smiled loudly. "I came here hundreds of miles this time. ** Ask an old friend, who dares to argue? What is the situation in Langzhong City now? Is there a chance?"
