Chapter 546 The Battle of Yiling (68)

After listening to Liu Bei's plan, the generals admired Liu Bei's ability to adapt to changes very much.

Although this plan was an impromptu performance by Liu Bei, it was also very rigorous and was not afraid that Lu Xun would not take the bait.

All the generals were looking forward to it and sincerely congratulated Liu Bei:

"Your Majesty's magic tricks, I can't wait!"

On the morning of that day, Liu Bei's generals selected dozens of shared camps and began the relocation.

Although there are only a thousand to thousands of people in each camp, there are many daily utensils such as pots, pans, and pans, and they are in chaos everywhere.

Liu Bei's army had such a big change, and there were already Han Dang and Zhou Tai who had reported to the front line in detail.

When the two heard about this, they watched it in person and found that Liu Bei was asking the soldiers to escape the summer heat.

The two discussed for a while and felt that this was a good opportunity to attack Liu Bei's army, so they went to Lu Xun's tent together and suggested to Lu Xun:

"Governor, now more than 40 battalions of Liu Bei's army are moved to dense mountains and forests, and they are surrounded by streams and streams, and the water is cool. Governor can take advantage of the situation and attack them."

After Sun Quan's personal intervention, the relationship between Lu Xun and Han Dang and Zhou Tai improved greatly. Although it may not be truly harmonious, it is still acceptable on the surface.

After listening to the suggestions of the two, Lu Xun naturally couldn't refuse casually, so he was very happy to lead his troops to watch the movement.

Lu Xun said that it was watching the movement, but in fact it was planning the target of attack and the retreat route.

The vanguard Wu Ban, who served as a warning under the pass, may have been avoiding war for a long time, which made Wu Ban lose his vigilance. The less than 10,000 soldiers led by him were mostly old and weak, listless and had no intention of fighting. He could only have the banner with the words "Vanguard Wu Ban" and was clamoring in the mountain wind.

Zhou Tai asked for the battle first and said, "I regard these soldiers as if they were a joke. I would like to attack them in two ways with General Han. If they cannot win, they will be willing to be the military order."

Lu Xun did not answer. His eyes were frozen, but looked at the valley in the distance like a wooden carving.

In fact, he was deducing the situation and finding out Liu Bei's possible strategies to see if he could use the tricks and counterattack and break the situation.

Lu Xun saw that although Wu Ban's army was scattered, the location occupied was very favorable and was a very clever bait.

From this we infer that Liu Bei must have ambushed, and the ambushed place could only be that valley, but in a hurry, Lu Xun did not have a feasible solution to crack it.

Lu Xun felt that instead of taking risks and attacking, it was better to use Liu Bei's strategy to establish his prestige, so he pointed at the valley with a horse whip and said mysteriously:

"In the valley ahead, there is a faint murderous aura; there must be ambushing troops below, so this weak army is set up on the plain to lure our army, and all the officials must not leave."

Han Dang and Zhou Tao all knew the terrain of that valley very well. It was a very narrow valley surrounded by cliffs. Even if it was an ambush, it was difficult to exceed ten thousand.

If Lu Xun wants to fight, he can divide his troops into two groups, intercept the ambush and attack Wu Ban, and he will definitely win a great victory.

All the generals thought that Lu Xun was afraid to fight and was too timid!

Since Lu Xun killed Fu Mengniu, Han Dang, Zhou Tai and others have been afraid. In addition, they have been summoned by Sun Quan alone and have accepted Lu Xun's leadership. Although they have other ideas in their minds, they have not talked about it anymore.

The next day, Wu Ban led his troops to the front of the pass to fight, showing off his might and insulted them; the old, weak and disabled soldiers were mostly untied, and they either took off their clothes or took off their armor, either sleeping or sitting.

Xu Sheng and Ding Feng, who are similar to Lu Xun's age, are all confidants trained by Sun Quan. They were used by Lu Xun as the escort of the Central Army. Their troops were all elite. Seeing that Wu Ban was so presumptuous, they entered the account and said to Lu Xun:

"Governor, Liu Bei's army bullies me too much! We are willing to send troops to fight if we fail to win, we will be willing to be the military law!"

Lu Xun smiled and said:

"You are relying on your bravery and courage, and you don't know the wonderful method of Sun and Wu. This is Liu Bei's plan to lure the enemy: in three days, you will see his deception."

When the two generals saw Lu Xun, they were not allowed to fight. Although they felt regretful, they did not have the courage to violate military orders.

...

...

Ma Su stayed in the pavilion for more than ten days, but was never summoned by Liu Bei.

Fortunately, Ma Su was not in a hurry, and he talked to Ma Liang and Shamoke every day, wanting to arrange a way to escape for them.

But Ma Liang was loyal to Liu Bei, and Shamoko was eager to make contributions. Neither thought Liu Bei would fail and refused to leave the front line.

Ma Su had no choice but to order Tian Shi, Gong Li and He Yun to prepare. If the situation was unfavorable, he would forcibly protect Shamoke and Ma Liang from leaving.

In order to prevent accidents, Ma Su left Xing Daorong to Ma Liang and led a hundred guards as personal guards.

Ma Su arranged these things, but he didn't want to stay in the chanting for a long time.

Because of Liu Bei's failure, he was also confused, and he was unwilling to be chased by the Jiangdong Army here.

Ma Su went to Liu Bei's central army tent to seek advice and took the initiative to ask for his return to Chengdu.

But I didn't see Liu Bei for two consecutive days. It is said that he led his troops out before dawn every day, preparing to ambush Lu Xun.

Ma Su specifically asked Ma Liang to find out about it. After knowing Liu Bei's arrangements, he did not think that Lu Xun would take the bait and decided to go to the ambush to find Liu Bei.

When he arrived in the valley, he saw Liu Bei sitting on the ground resting very casually. There were less than 10,000 soldiers ambushing around him, but they were all elite soldiers and powerful generals.

In order to defeat Lu Xun in one fell swoop, Liu Bei paid a lot of money and actually collected 3,000 cavalry. Among them, the 500 cavalry that suddenly came before him were heavy armored cavalry formed according to Ma Su's design, all of which were Xiliang horses, and the impact was extremely strong.

If Lu Xun dared to fight, the Jiangdong Army, which was not good at land battles, would be defeated by Liu Bei with his cavalry.

It seems that Liu Bei is not an ordinary person. He is the right medicine and takes out the cavalry battle that the Jiangdong Army is most afraid of, which can completely make up for the shortage of the number of people.

Not far away, Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, Chen Dao and other brave generals were ready to fight.

Seeing Ma Su coming, Liu Bei's expression was a little unnatural.

He has been focusing on war these days, and he really forgot to reply to Ma Su.

But Liu Bei's embarrassment flashed by, and his expression immediately became like spring breeze, and he said to Ma Su:

"Young Chang, Lu Xun couldn't stand it. I asked the army to move to the camp to escape the summer heat. In fact, I wanted to lead him to attack, so I ambushed here myself. This is the third day, and Lu Xun still has no movement. Do you think Lu Xun will fall into the trap?"

Of course, Ma Su knew that Lu Xun would not take the bait, but in order not to destroy Liu Bei's good mood, he replied very implicitly:

"Your Majesty's plan is great. All the generals in Jiangdong, including Lu Xun, cannot see through this plan. However, Lu Xun is just a scholar. He is forced by His Majesty's divine power and should not have the courage to fight!"

Liu Bei was wise to know others, so of course he heard the implication of Ma Su's words. The disappointment on his face flashed and he said to himself:

"It seems that I used the wrong plan to use the wrong person. I really feel like playing the piano for a cow!"
