Chapter Three Hundred and Six: Decision

Bao Hui hurriedly walked into Liu Chenglin's tent.

"I've found it out." Bao Hui looked at Liu Chenglin and said urgently: "The general who led this cavalry is a child of the Fei clan of Youzhou clan, named Fei Can. He is exactly thirty this year. He is a child of Fei Zhong, the general of Lu Long's military commander. This person is also a famous cavalry general of Lu Long. Since he was twenty years old, he has followed Zhang Zhongwu to fight everywhere. His best attitude is cavalry raids."

Liu Chenglin nodded. Compared with the furiousness he felt when he first saw Pan Jiawu being attacked, Liu Chenglin had completely calmed down at this time.

"How is the situation in Shijiawu?"

"Shijiawu originally had about 3,000 rural soldiers. Because most of them were Shi's clan, the combat effectiveness of this rural soldiers was much stronger than that of ordinary rural soldiers, and the effect of differentiation and separation was not great for them." Bao Hui said ashamedly: "So, General, the plan I had planned before was too natural. They couldn't get what the general wanted. Because they couldn't get the core at all."

"This kind of clan is the most hateful." Liu Chenglin nodded considerately.

"However, our people still found out some useful situations. Lu Long's army did enter Shijiawu, with a population of about 2,000, and was a member of Deng Jingwen of Mozhou. This army had fought with our army in Shenzhou, which was more familiar to us."

"Two thousand infantrymen in Mozhou, two thousand cavalrymen in Fei Can, and three thousand township soldiers in Shi's family, this battle is really interesting." Liu Chenglin laughed.

Bao Hui said: "General Liu, now we only have 2,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry of General Li De. If we want to conquer Shijiawu, our strength is still a little weak. What if we didn't gather the village soldiers?"

"No need." Liu Chenglin flatly rejected: "The people in Yingzhou are now unstable, and more people have already been waiting and watching because of Fei Can's attack. If you gather the village soldiers, it will not only not be our support, but will become a burden. However, if you gather the village soldiers from Shenzhou and Jingzhou, there will be too much noise. In the past two years, Shenzhou and Jingzhou have been fighting, and the people's desire for peace is more urgent than ever. It is not appropriate to recruit them at this time."

"The soldiers of General Li Rui of Shenzhou?" Bao Hui said.

"This is my war." Liu Chenglin smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry, Bao Changshi, I have already made a calculation. In less than a month, I will definitely take down Shijiawu. After a few more docks, the remaining few docks will not be as good as they can either get out of here or surrender to us."

"Since the general is confident, Bao is relieved." Bao Hui nodded, "Since that's the case, Bao will say goodbye."

"Please give me some advice, Chief Bao." Liu Chenglin smiled and sent Bao Hui out.

When Bao Hui left, someone lifted the curtain inside Liu Chenglin's tent. This person turned out to be Li Rui, the other party in Shenzhou who should have left long ago. Since Panjiawu returned, Shenzhou Governor Du Teng, Jingzhou Governor Sun Zhi and Li Rui said goodbye and left one after another, but at some point Li Rui actually came back.

"Bao Hui can still trust her." Li Rui said.

"General Li naturally trusts him, and of course I will not doubt him, but his subordinates are too complicated." Liu Chenglin shook his head and said, "The basis for whether we can win this battle is whether we can kill Fei Can's more than 2,000 cavalrymen. I don't want to make any mistakes. My subordinates, except Liu Changfeng, don't know anything about it."

Li Rui nodded in understanding. He knew how much pressure Liu Chenglin was at this moment. After Fei Can attacked Panjiawu, he did not stop. Instead, he relied on the familiar terrain and the powerful maneuver of the cavalry to attack three docks in a row. Although these docks strengthened their defenses after Panjiawu were attacked, they could only ensure that the docks were not lost. This was due to the fact that Li De's cavalry was chasing behind Fei Can, which made Fei Can's attack time extremely limited.

The casualties of people were decreasing sharply, but Fei Can's destruction of Yingzhou was unparalleled. A large number of crops growing well were completely destroyed in this wave of attacks.

In addition to these losses visible to the naked eye, what is more important is the turmoil in the hearts of Yingzhou people. Lu Long's cavalry entered and left as if no one was in a state of humanity, which made Yingzhou people think of the might of Lu Long's army in the past decade, and they also had great doubts about whether the Wude army could defeat the Lu Long people. If Liu Chenglin could not quickly give his opponent a powerful counterattack, the situation in Yingzhou might deteriorate.

The two stood before the map, and Liu Chenglin pressed his thick fingers on the map, moving from one point to another, and the places he pointed to were all places where Fei Can attacked.

"The location where Fei Can attacked seemed to have a hammer and a stick, with no rules to follow, but in fact, there was still some connection." Liu Chenglin's fingers contracted and nailed a person's place, "General Li, do you see anything?"

Li Rui stared for a moment and said, "Is there something strange about this person's place? The places that Fei Can attacked were all emitted from this place as the center. The fast horse galloped, and it was within a day's journey."

"General Li really has the eyesight." Liu Chenglin smiled and said, "Shilin, the terrain of this place is very special, with countless rifts, and these rifts are well connected and have countless exits. As the saying goes, a slight mistake will lead to a thousand miles of mistakes. Once you take the wrong path, you will be in a completely different direction from the enemy."

"There must be people in Fei Can's army who are very familiar with the terrain here. Once something happens, as long as they escape here, we basically have no way. Not to mention that I only have less than 10,000 cavalry in my hand, even if I turn over for a lifetime and fill these rifts, it will not cause any waves." Liu Chenglin said.

"If we really attack them here, they might even use their familiarity with the terrain to form a counterattack against us. If it is not good, we will be in danger of losing." Li Rui said.

"That's the truth." Liu Chenglin smiled and said, "So although Bao Hui's people discovered Fei Can's hiding place, we had no way to encircle and suppress him. We only wanted to lure him to attack again to have a chance to kill him."

"There are three docks above this circle. Which one will the other party attack?" Li Rui frowned, "We can only guess, this is a bit troublesome."

"He will attack this one!" Liu Chenglin pointed to a place with confidence.

"Chengjiawu!" Li Rui shook his head and said, "Among these three forts, Chengjiawu is the largest, and it is also close to Gaoyang County. Is it easy to get Fei Can? "

"Because my main force will set off in the next step and approach Shijiawu." Liu Chenglin said: "If Fei Can is just an ordinary general, it is possible to fight easily, but he is the most promising child of the Fei family. He has a good vision. He can see the benefits of fighting Chengjiawu."

"I hope to hear it carefully!" Li Rui humbly asked Liu Chenglin for advice.

"As I led the main force, Fei Can didn't see the remaining garrison troops. Even if Cheng Jiawu is very close to Gaoyang, if there are garrisons in Gaoyang, he can attack reinforcements. If Gaoyang does not send troops, he can attack Cheng Jiawu in a good manner, and even continue to march forward to the city of Yingzhou to create panic, forcing me to stop moving forward and go back to chase him."

"Creating panic is probably his greatest goal and to delay our war process." Li Rui said.

"That's it." Liu Chenglin smiled and said, "So I'm leaving, and Cheng Jiawu will be handed over to General Li."

"As long as he dares Cheng Jiawu, I will let him lose his troops and generals, but my subordinates only have two legs, so they can't run away." Li Rui said with a smile.

"Although General Li is relieved, because at that time, Li De will come up from behind them." Liu Chenglin sneered: "And my unit will also divide some of his troops to Shilin to block his way."

Li Rui clapped his hands and smiled, "If this happens, he will be unable to escape."

"If Fei Can is taken down, we will have no worries when we enter Shijiawu. Two thousand infantrymen and three thousand township soldiers have not taken it seriously. Even if he is just a turtle shell, I will knock out a few holes." Liu Chenglin sneered.

"Okay, when I get rid of Fei Can, I will bring troops to help you." Li Rui said.

The two big hands were tightly held together.

This time, in order to eliminate Fei Can's worries, Liu Chenglin secretly invited Li Rui, the Shenzhou destiny. Li Rui is now in Shenzhou, and there are not many troops, but they all followed him to fight many elite troops who have fought fierce battles. Liu Chenglin could not let his troops set up an ambush because he was worried about leaking the news and wanted to kill such a cavalry, but it would be impossible to kill such a cavalry. Liu Chenglin now has only 5,000 soldiers. If he was inexplicably missing, Fei Can must know whether he was cheated and whether he would be deceived. That would be a big deal.

One day later, Liu Chenglin's five thousand army swore on the battlefield. The front army took Liu Changfeng as the vanguard, and the central army Liu Chenglin carried a large number of siege equipment, while the latter army was led by Hou Fangyu. The three armies were several miles apart and quickly advanced towards Shijiawu.

Although Liu Chenglin concluded that Fei Can would definitely go to attack Chengjiabao, he had to guard against this guy who suddenly attacked him. After all, the high mobility of the cavalry is indeed not comparable to that of infantrymen. More importantly, from the information, Fei Can is best at doing this kind of thing.
